AB - The dynamic evolution and interaction of defects under the conditions of shock loading in single crystal and nanocrystalline Cu are investigated using a series of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations for an impact velocity of 1 km/s. Four stages of defect evolution are identified during shock simulations that result in deformation and failure. These stages correspond to: the initial shock compression (I); the propagation of the compression wave (II); the propagation and interaction of the reflected tensile wave (III); and the nucleation, growth, and coalescence of voids (IV). The effect of the microstructure on the evolution of defect densities during these four stages is characterized and quantified for single crystal Cu as well as nanocrystalline Cu with an average grain size of 6 nm, 10 nm, 13 nm, 16 nm, 20 nm, and 30 nm. The evolution of twin densities during the shock propagation is observed to vary with the grain size of the system and affects the spall strength of the metal. The grain sizes of 6 nm and 16 nm are observed to have peak values for the twin densities and a spall strength that is comparable with the single crystal Cu. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - Concurrent ingestion of microfilariae (MF) and arboviruses by mosquitoes can enhance mosquito transmission of virus compared to when virus is ingested alone. Within hours of being ingested, MF penetrate the mosquito midgut and introduce virus into mosquito hemocoel, creating a disseminated viral infection much sooner than normal. How virus is actually introduced is not known. In this report, we present experimental evidence that suggests that certain alphaviruses may adhere or otherwise associate with sheathed Brugia malayi MF in the blood of a dually-infected host and that the virus is carried into the mosquito hemocoel by the MF during their penetration of the mosquito midgut. The mechanism of MF enhancement may be more complex than simple leakage of viremic blood into the hemocoel during MF penetration. The affinity of arboviruses to adhere to or otherwise associate with MF may depend on the specific combination of the virus and MF involved in a dual host infection. This in turn may determine the relative importance that MF enhancement has within an arbovirus transmission system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

This analysis examines the association between Soldiers’ BMI at accession and incident cardiometabolic risk factors (CRF) using longitudinal data from 731,014 Soldiers (17.0% female; age: 21.6 [3.9] years; BMI: 24.7 [3.8] kg/m2) who were assessed at Army accession, 2001–2011. CRF were defined as incident diagnoses through 2011, by ICD-9 code, of metabolic syndrome, glucose/insulin disorder, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or overweight/obesity (in those not initially overweight/obese). Multivariable-adjusted proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) between BMI categories at accession and CRF. Initially underweight (BMI<18.5 kg/m2) were 2.4% of Soldiers, 53.5% were normal weight (18.5−<25), 34.2% were overweight (25−<30), and 10.0% were obese (≥30). Mean age range at CRF diagnosis was 24–29 years old, with generally low CRF incidence: 228 with metabolic syndrome, 3,880 with a glucose/insulin disorder, 26,373 with hypertension, and 13,404 with dyslipidemia. Of the Soldiers who were not overweight or obese at accession, 5,361 were eventually diagnosed as overweight or obese. Relative to Soldiers who were normal weight at accession, those who were overweight or obese, respectively, had significantly higher risk of developing each CRF after multivariable adjustment (HR [95% CI]: metabolic syndrome: 4.13 [2.87–5.94], 13.36 [9.00–19.83]; glucose/insulin disorder: 1.39 [1.30–1.50], 2.76 [2.52–3.04]; hypertension: 1.85 [1.80–1.90], 3.31 [3.20–3.42]; dyslipidemia: 1.81 [1.75–1.89], 3.19 [3.04–3.35]). Risk of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and overweight/obesity in initially underweight Soldiers was 40%, 31%, and 79% lower, respectively, versus normal-weight Soldiers. BMI in early adulthood has important implications for cardiometabolic health, even within young, physically active populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Autoimmune diseases occur when immune cells fail to develop or lose their tolerance toward self and destroy body’s own tissues. Both insufficient negative selection of self-reactive T cells and impaired development of regulatory T cells preventing effector cell activation are believed to contribute to autoimmunity. Genetic predispositions center around the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II loci involved in antigen presentation, the key determinant of CD4+ T cell activation. Recent studies suggested that variants in the MHC region also exhibit significant non-additive interaction effects. However, collective interactions involving large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) contributing to such effects are yet to be characterized. In addition, relatively little is known about the cell-type-specificity of such interactions in the context of cellular pathways. Here, we analyzed type 1 diabetes (T1D) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) genome-wide association data sets via large-scale, high-performance computations and inferred collective interaction effects involving MHC SNPs using the discrete discriminant analysis. Despite considerable differences in the details of SNP interactions in T1D and RA data, the enrichment pattern of interacting pairs in reference epigenomes was remarkably similar: statistically significant interactions were epigenetically active in cell-type combinations connecting B cells to T cells and intestinal epithelial cells, with both helper and regulatory T cells showing strong disease-associated interactions with B cells. Our results provide direct genetic evidence pointing to the important roles B cells play as antigen-presenting cells toward CD4+ T cells in the context of central and peripheral tolerance. In addition, they are consistent with recent experimental studies suggesting that the repertoire of B cell-specific self-antigens in the thymus are critical to the effective control of corresponding autoimmune activation in peripheral tissues.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - It has been shown that the alignment of Iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles in water (H2O) can enhance the thermal conductivity of nanofluids. To better understand solvent effects such as hydrogen bonding, viscosity, and polarity, nanofluids were prepared by mixing Fe2O3 nanoparticles and various solvents (water, ethanol, 1-propanol, isopropanol, 2-propanone, hexane, cyclohexane, ethylene glycol, glycerol, etc.), and the dispersions and alignments of the Fe2O3 nanoparticles in these solvents with and without an applied magnetic field were investigated using an optical microscope. The microscope images indicated that inter-molecule hydrogen bonding of the solvents with one OH group (water, ethanol, 1-propanol, and isopropanol) could help to disperse and align the Fe2O3 nanoparticles. The intra-molecular hydrogen bonding causes a dramatic increase in viscosity for fluids with multiple OH groups, such as ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and glycerol (C3H8O3), and makes the Fe2O3 nanoparticles dispersion and alignment difficult. Adding water to those fluids could lead to significantly reduced viscosity and make the particles disperse and align well. Polarity studies indicated that higher polarity yields better dispersion and alignment of the Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Thermal studies showed that thermal conductivity of nanofluids containing metal oxide particles with hydrogen bonding in solvents is enhanced compared to the theoretically calculated data. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between water and ethylene glycol increases the thermal conductivity of nanofluids while decreasing the fluid viscosity. The results also well explain why 50 wt. % water/50 wt. % ethylene glycol is an excellent commercial coolant. Since high thermal conductivity enhancement with minimal viscosity increase is the primary goal of heat transfer nanofluids, this current research may open new doors to better understanding of the fundamental nature of nanofluids.

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

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

AB - Partially aligned nickel nanocubes were grown epitaxially in a diamagnetic magnesium oxide (MgO:Ni) host and studied by a continuous wave ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy at the X-band (9.5 GHz) from ca. 117 to 458K and then at room temperature for multiple external magnetic fields/resonant frequencies from 9.5 to 330 GHz. In contrast to conventional magnetic susceptibility studies that provided data on the bulk magnetization, the FMR spectra revealed the presence of three different types of magnetic Ni nanocubes in the sample. Specifically, three different ferromagnetic resonances were observed in the X-band spectra: a line 1 assigned to large nickel nanocubes, a line 2 corresponding to the nanocubes exhibiting saturated magnetization even at ca. 0.3 T field, and a high field line 3 (geff∼6.2) tentatively assigned to small nickel nanocubes likely having their hard magnetization axis aligned along or close to the direction of the external magnetic field. Based on the analysis of FMR data, the latter nanocubes possess an anisotropic internal magnetic field of at least ∼1.0 T in magnitude. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The behavior of carbon nanotube composites subjected to laser pulse heating with a 1070 nm variable pulse duration laser has been studied. Previous work has shown that carbon nanotube composites form a protective network on the surface of a composite, which reduces heat input to the underlying polymer and slows mass loss. In this work, we have studied the interaction between the incident laser and the plume formed above the composite. We have correlated these interactions with features observed in the time-resolved mass loss data and confirmed them with observations using high-speed video of the laser irradiations. Beam interactions were studied as a function of laser irradiance and nanotube content. It is shown that beam-plume interactions occur for the carbon nanotube composites and that the interactions occur at shorter pulse durations for increased nanotube content and laser irradiance. When we eliminate beam-plume interaction through alteration of the sample orientation relative to the incident beam, we are able to elucidate the individual contributions of the carbon nanotube surface network and the plume to the observed decrease in mass loss after laser irradiation. We examine the plume content using microscopy and Raman spectroscopy and show that greater beam absorption occurs when there is a higher graphitic content in the plume. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

It is one the arboviruses whose geographical range is expanding because of climate and land use changes that enhance the densities of mosquitoes and promote mosquito-bird-human interactions. We carried out a survey to determine the reservoirs of WNV among wild birds in Tana River and Garissa counties, Kenya. Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 361 randomly trapped wild birds. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), all samples were screened for WNV using gene specific primer sets amplifying a portion of the E region of the genome encoding the envelope protein. Results: Sixty five (65) out of 361 birds screened tested positive for WNV on real-time PCR assay. Sequencing of the selected positive samples reveals that the isolated WNV were most closely related to strains isolated from China (2011). A regression analysis indicated that sampling location influenced the occurrence of WNV while species, age, weight and sex of the birds did not have any effect. Conclusions: This study provides baseline information on the existing circulation of WNV in this region among wild bird reservoirs that could spill over to the human population and points to the need for implementation of surveillance programs to map the distribution of the virus among reservoirs. Awareness creation about West Nile fever in this region is important to improve its detection and management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - Objective: Assess the impact of ostomy formation on quality of life for U.S. Service Members.Methods: U.S. personnel sustaining colorectal trauma from 2003 to 2011 were identified using the Department of Defense Trauma Registry. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted utilizing prospective interviews with standard survey instruments. Primary outcome measures were the Stoma Quality of Life Scale and Veterans RAND 36 scores and subjective responses. Patients with colorectal trauma not requiring ostomy served as controls.Results: Of 177 available patients, 90 (50.8%) male veterans consented to participate (55 ostomy, 35 control). No significant differences were observed between ostomy and control groups for Injury Severity Score (25.6 ± 9.9 vs. 22.9 ± 11.8, p = 0.26) or mechanism of injury (blast: 55 vs. 52%, p = 0.75); nonostomates had fewer anorectal injuries (3.2 vs. 47.9%, p < 0.01). Median follow-up was 6.7 years. Veterans RAND-36 Physical and Mental Component Scores were similar between groups. About 45.8% of ostomates were willing-to-trade a median of 10 years (interquartile range = 5-15) of their remaining life for gastrointestinal continuity. At last follow-up, 95.9% of respondents' combat-related ostomies were reversed with a median duration of 6 (range = 3-19) months diverted.Conclusions: Ostomy creation in a combat environment remains safe and does not have a quantifiable impact on long-term quality of life.

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

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

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

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

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

AB - A homogenization model is developed that describes the effective elastic constants of polycrystalline materials with constituent crystallites of general anisotropy (triclinic symmetry). The model is solved through an iterative technique where successive iterations improve the estimates of the polycrystal's elastic constants. Convergence of the solution provides the self-consistent elastic constants, which are the polycrystal's elastic constants resulting from continuity between local and far-field stress and strains. Iterative solutions prior to convergence are the bounds on the elastic constants including the Voigt-Reuss and Hashin-Shtrikman bounds. The second part of the article establishes a formal link between the present model and single-crystal elastic anisotropy. An analysis from a dataset containing 2176 inorganic crystalline compounds, spanning all crystallographic symmetries, is provided. The role of elastic anisotropy and related properties such as crystalline structure and elastic stability are discussed as it relates to the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

AB - After the Communist Tet Offensive of 1968, General William Westmoreland, commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam, supposedly credited the Army-Navy Mobile Riverine Force (MRF) with having "saved the [Mekong] Delta" for the allied cause. The MRF drove enemy forces from key population centers and decimated the Viet Cong main force units that stood and fought them. But in August 1969, General Creighton Abrams, Westmoreland's successor, disbanded the MRF. Despite the MRF's impressive battle history, Army and Navy leaders never fully embraced the creation, development, or operational deployment of one of the few truly joint-service units of the Vietnam War.

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

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

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

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

AB - The U.S. Army's Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System (RCAS) version 15.07 was validated for aerodynamic performance prediction for a variety of isolated rotor configurations in hover and forward flight. Validation cases included a wide variety of key rotor configurations, covering model scale and full scale, twist distributions (zero twist, moderate linear twist, nonlinear twist, and high nonlinear twist), tip shapes (rectangular, swept, swept-tapered, tapered, and anhedral), and flight conditions (hover to high-speed forward flight). A free-vortex wake model was used for hover performance, whereas a prescribed-vortex wake model was sufficient for moderate-to-high advance ratios. At low advance ratios, the increased rotor-wake interactions yielded less-accurate results using the prescribed wake. The validation study showed good correlation with test data using the best practices for the vortex wake modeling parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - This study examined whether blood fatty acid levels, vitamin D status, and/or physical activity are associated with physical fitness scores; a measure of mood, Patient Health Questionnaire-9; and a measure of resiliency, Dispositional Resiliency Scale-15 in active duty Soldiers. 100 active duty males at Fort Hood, Texas, underwent a battery of psychometric tests, anthropometric measurements, and fitness tests, and they also provided fasting blood samples for fatty acid and vitamin D analysis. Pearson bivariate correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among psychometric tests, anthropometric measurements, physical performance, reported physical inactivity (sitting time), and fatty acid and vitamin D blood levels. On the basis of these findings, a regression equation was developed to predict a depressed mood status as determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The equation accurately predicted depressed mood status in 80% of our participants with a sensitivity of 76.9% and a specificity of 80.5%. Results indicate that the use of a regression equation may be helpful in identifying Soldiers at higher risk for mental health issues. Future studies should evaluate the impact of exercise and diet as a means of improving resiliency and reducing depressed mood in Soldiers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

AB - Background: There is a paucity of literature describing the accuracy of musculoskeletal injury reporting in the U.S. Army.Purpose: To investigate symptom-management behaviors as well as factors associated with seeking medical treatment among active duty Soldiers who reported that they had concealed at least one musculoskeletal injury.Methods: Anonymous surveys were completed by Soldiers (N = 1,388; 1,269 males, 74 females, and 45 no response) assigned to an Infantry Brigade Combat Team. Soldiers were asked to self-report injuries sustained in the last 12 months and whether or not they reported those injuries to a medical provider. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze treatment alternatives. Chi-square test was used to assess any significant relationships between injury and various demographics.Results: There were 808 (58%) Soldiers who stated they had an injury that they did not report. Over-the-counter pain relief medication (81%) was the most commonly selected alternative treatment.Conclusion: Over-the-counter pain medication was frequently used for symptom management among Soldiers who did not report their injury to a medical provider.

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

AB - The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries among Soldiers of the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division. A total of 451 subjects (age: 27.6 ± 6.2 years, gender: males 395/451 = 87.6%) volunteered. Musculoskeletal injury data were extracted from subjects' medical charts and injuries that occurred during 1 year were described. Injury frequency, injury anatomic location and sublocation, injury cause, activity when injury occurred, and injury type were described. Injury frequency was 29.5 injuries per 100 subjects per year. Most injures affected the lower extremity (60.2% of injuries) and common anatomic sublocations for injuries were the ankle (17.3%) and knee (15.0%). Frequent causes of injuries were running (13.5%) and direct trauma (9.0%). Physical training was associated with 29.3% of the injuries. A majority of injuries were classified as pain/spasm/ache (29.3%), without further elucidation of pathology. Other frequent injury types were sprain (21.8%) and strain (14.3%). The descriptive epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in this population underscores the need to explore the modifiable risk factors of potentially preventable lower extremity injuries associated with physical training and running. There is scope for the development of an optimized and targeted physical training program for injury prevention in this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objective: Identifying Department of Defense (DoD) occupations affected by injuries to the head and sensory systems.Methods: We explored the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database to identify occupations with the highest incidence of injured personnel, then ranked how frequently they occurred in a top 10 list for each of four injury categories (head/brain, visual, auditory, vestibular) encompassing 25 injury codes. Across all four categories, the most affected occupations were identified, among which we chose three Army combat-related military occupational specialties (MOSs) for detailed study. We identified skills needed to perform these MOSs and explored whether MOS-critical deficits could be expected following the injuries.Results: Some DoD occupations are more likely to suffer from these injuries, including Infantry, Combat Operations Control, Artillery/Gunnery, Motor Vehicle Operator, Combat Engineering, and Armor/Amphibious. Within these DoD occupations, we explored three Army combatant MOSs: Infantry (11B), Cavalry Scout (19D), and Artillery (13B), confirming that these jobs are likely to be disrupted by injuries within the four categories.Conclusions: Head and sensory injuries disproportionately affect certain military occupations. Relatively few injuries disrupt combat-related abilities that are job critical (e.g., firearms operation) and job specific (e.g., Artillery gunnery problems); these should be the focus of efforts to improve rehabilitation and RTD outcomes.

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

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

AB - This paper evaluates long-term political consequences of severe economic shocks by combining a nationally-representative survey of Russians' political behaviors with long-term subnational economic data tracing Russia's post-Soviet economic transition. We show that the shock of transition has durably activated a limited but important subpopulation of Russians while deactivating others. Surprisingly, much of the variation in contemporary political participation across Russia's population can be explained by local economic conditions experienced by Russians in the early 1990s: Durable patterns of participation seem to have been "locked in" by economic trauma early in the transition period and are not influenced by the subsequent post-Soviet economic recovery or contemporary economic conditions.

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

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

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

AB - Traumatic Brain Injury is a major health issue that is hard to diagnose since it often occurs without signs of external injuries. While it is well known that exposure of biological cells to shock waves causes damage to the cell membrane, it is currently unknown by which mechanisms damage is caused, and how it depends on physical parameters such as shock wave velocity, shock pulse duration, or shock pulse shape. In this computational study, we use a coarse-grained model of the lipid vesicle as a generic model of a cell membrane to elucidate the general principles of the cellular damage induced by the shock wave direct passage through the cranium. Results indicate that the extent of the liposome compression does not strongly depend on the pressure pulse and that liposome extension is very sensitive to the change in the negative pressure phase. The structural integrity of the vesicle is altered as pores form in the lipid membrane at overall pressure impulses generated by supersonic shock waves, which are greater than 5 Pa . s at single or repetitive exposure. Consequently, these permeability changes may lead to changes in the influx of sodium, potassium, and calcium ions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - SrTiO3 (STO) thin films were grown simultaneously via the metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique on two different substrates: platinized sapphire and platinized TiO2/SiO2/Si. The thin films were analyzed for stoichiometry, crystallinity, surface roughness, and average grain size. Dielectric properties of the thin films such as dielectric constant, loss, and leakage current characteristics were measured and compared. We demonstrate that the MOCVD technique is an appropriate method for fabrication of STO thin films with excellent structural, microstructural, dielectric, and insulation properties. Comparative analysis of the films yielded an unexpected result that the thin film with a higher mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient between the substrate (Si) and the deposited STO film yielded a higher dielectric constant with respect to that of STO/sapphire. The dielectric loss for both films were similar (tan δ = 0.005 at 100 kHz), however, the leakage current for the film with a higher dielectric constant was three orders of magnitude higher. An explanation of these results is presented and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The elastic constants of the α and γ polymorphs of cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX) have been computed using dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT). The DFT results validate the values obtained in several experiments using ultrasonic and impulsive stimulated thermal scattering techniques and disagree with those obtained using Brillouin scattering which, in general, exceed the other experimental and theoretical results. Compressibility diagrams at zero pressure are presented for the ab, ac, and bc crystallographic planes, and the anisotropic linear compressibility within the ac plane of α-RDX at 0 GPa, observed using ultrasonic and impulsive stimulated thermal scattering measurements, is verified using DFT. The pressure dependence of the elastic constants of α-RDX (0-4 GPa) and γ-RDX (4-8 GPa) is also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) characterization and hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) measurements have been used to study metal/Al2O3/In0.53Ga0.47As capacitor structures with high (Ni) and low (Al) work function metals. The HAXPES measurements observe a band bending occurring prior to metal deposition, which is attributed to a combination of fixed oxide charges and interface states of donor-type. Following metal deposition, the Fermi level positions at the Al2O3/In0.53Ga0.47As interface move towards the expected direction as observed from HAXPES measurements. The In0.53Ga0.47As surface Fermi level positions determined from both the C-V analysis at zero gate bias and HAXPES measurements are in reasonable agreement. The results are consistent with the presence of electrically active interface states at the Al2O3/In0.53Ga0.47As interface and suggest an interface state density increasing towards the In0.53Ga0.47As valence band edge.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Here, we present detailed results of Raman and photoluminescence (PL) characterization of monolayers of MoS2 grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on SiO2/Si substrates after thermal annealing at 150 °C, 200 °C, and 250 °C in an argon atmosphere. In comparison to the as-grown monolayers, annealing in the temperature range of 150-250 °C brings about significant changes in the band edge luminescence. It is observed that annealing at 150 °C gives rise to a 100-fold increase in the PL intensity and produces a strong band at 1.852 eV attributed to a free-to-bound transition that dominates over the band edge excitonic luminescence. This band disappears for the higher annealing temperatures. The improvement in PL after the 200 °C anneal is reduced in comparison to that obtained after the 150 °C anneal; this is suggested to arise from a decrease in the non-radiative lifetime caused by the creation of sulfur di-vacancies. Annealing at 250 °C degrades the PL in comparison to the as-grown sample because of the onset of disorder/decomposition of the sample. It is clear that the PL features of the CVD-grown MoS2 monolayer are profoundly affected by thermal annealing in Ar atmosphere. However, further detailed studies are needed to identify, unambiguously, the role of native defects and/or adsorbed species in defining the radiative channels in annealed samples so that the beneficial effect of improvement in the optical efficiency of the MoS2 monolayers can be leveraged for various device applications.

AB - Purpose: To assess uncorrected and corrected distance and near binocular visual acuity (VA) and the use of corrective lenses in U.S. Army Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve Soldiers.Methods: A descriptive statistical analysis of VA group data from the U.S. Army Vision Readiness Classification Screening system was performed. Data pulls from June 2012 to January 2015 were compared.Results: In January 2015, 62.3% of Soldiers had an uncorrected binocular distance VA of 20/20, 21.2% of Soldiers were worse than 20/40, and 41.4% of Soldiers wore corrective eyewear for distance vision. With correction, 92.5% had a binocular distance VA of 20/20 and 1.4% were worse than 20/40. In January 2015, 32.6% of Soldiers age >45 had an uncorrected binocular near VA of 20/20, 28.4% of Soldiers age >45 were worse than 20/40, and 61.9% of Soldiers age >45 wore corrective eyewear for near vision. With correction, 74.6% had a binocular near VA of 20/20 and 3.0% were worse than 20/40. Data for both years were similar, although there were differences between individual service components.Conclusions: In comparison to the U.S. adult population, U.S. Army Soldiers have better uncorrected and corrected vision and are less likely to wear vision correction.

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

AB - Measuring surgical business performance for Army military treatment facilities is currently done through 6 business metrics developed by the Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Surgical Services Service Line (3SL). Development of a composite score for business performance has the potential to simplify and synthesize measurement, improving focus for strategic goal setting and implementation. However, several considerations, ranging from data availability to submetric selection, must be addressed to ensure the score is accurate and representative. This article presents the methodology used in the composite score's creation and presents a metric based on return on investment and a measure of cases recaptured from private networks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Background: There are no tools to predict outcomes in the U.S. Air Force Critical Care Air Transport Team (CCATT) trauma patients. The objective of this study was to identify associations between preflight variables and outcomes that could assist planning of ongoing critical care.Methods: This Institutional Review Board approved retrospective study included all patients evacuated from Afghanistan by CCATT between 2007 and 2011. Preflight variables were assessed for associations and examined in logistic regression models. Ventilator time over 72 hours, and 30-day mortality were the primary and secondary outcomes respectively.Results: 1,308 trauma patients (24 years, 98% male) were included; 72% blast. Injury severity score (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04 [1.03-1.06]), preflight packed red blood cell units transfused (OR = 1.05 [1.04-1.07]), and preflight intubated status (OR = 11.9 [8.53-16.89]) were independently associated with increased ventilator days; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.85 with 86% sensitivity and 56% specificity. Injury severity score (OR = 1.06 [1.03-1.09]), prothrombin time (OR = 2.13 [1.18-4.47]), preflight intubated status (OR = 9.2 [1.88-166.11]), and whole blood (OR = 3.18 [1.38-7.04]) were associated with 30-day mortality; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.84 with 71% sensitivity and 57% specificity.Conclusion: In our large CCATT study a number of preflight variables were associated with outcomes, which may assist in the future planning of critical care services.

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

AB - Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different treatment combinations on bupropion recovery as well as time to return of spontaneous circulation.Methods: We conducted an eight group, randomized, experiment to evaluate combinations of epinephrine, vasopressin, and lipids on the restoration of cardiac function in Yorkshire pigs. After tracking the animals' baseline vitals for 10 minutes, we injected the animals with bupropion (35 mg/kg) and initiated a randomized protocol 2 minutes after cardiac arrest.Results: Results demonstrated that animal survival given treatment combinations including epinephrine were statistically superior to any other group (p < 0.001, Fishers' exact test). The odds of survival with use of epinephrine vs. other options were 22:1 (5.47, 88.43). Further, all animals receiving only lipids died. Cox survival analysis with bootstrapped parameter estimates provided evidence that the rapidity of cardiac recovery was maximized with a combination of epinephrine and lipids (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Lipids may require an additional chemical catalyst in order to be effective in cardiac recovery. Epinephrine and lipids combined shortened recovery time for surviving animals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

AB - The work carries out coupled computational fluid dynamics and comprehensive analysis (Helios/Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System (RCAS)) of a full-scale UH-60A rotor slowed down to 40% of nominal RPM, operating at advance ratios up to 1.0. The objectives of the work are to (1) validate the analysis with detailed aerodynamic measurements under loading conditions unique to this regime and (2) use the analysis to complement testmeasurements and expand fundamental understanding of slowed rotor and high advance ratio physics. Airloads validation shows excellent agreement with normal force, but pitching moments are poorly predicted on both the advancing (negative lifting) and retreating (reversed flow) blades. Fundamental understanding is gained of the physics of the reversed flow region, wake interactions, advancing and retreating blade moment impulses, differential span loading, and blade deformations—as influenced by RPM and advance ratio. Flow field visualizations show in exceptional detail the unconventional wake patterns, the reversed flow dynamic stall vortex progression, blade-on-blade interactions, reversed-flow-edge vortex, and root vortices. Comparisons of rotor performance and trim controls are documented, showing reasonable trend agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Academic disciplines are vulnerable in the 21st century to the forces Barnett called supercomplexity, and we argue that academic societies such as the National Association for Kinesiology in Higher Education are especially well positioned to prepare 21st century scholars to respond to contemporary changes in the disciplines and in institutions of higher education. Academic societies can respond by helping to train scholars to be stewards of their disciplines, and the means by which disciplines will do so is to focus on the character of the scholar through the development and reinforcement of specific virtues. Following the arguments of Plato, Ernest Boyer, and Alasdair MacIntyre, we argue that the development of stewards can help kinesiology respond to contemporary issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Two Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (silver carp) were collected in the Pearl River on 6 September 2012 during a natural fish kill in the decommissioned lock chamber of Lock-and-Dam No. 1 located at river kilometer (RKM) 47.5 in St. Tammany Parish, 9.4 km NW of the city of Pearl River, LA. Fish were a male 987 mm TL, 10.9 kg, and a female 1042 mm TL, 12.2 kg. Both fish were age 5. Eight additional silver carp (930-1054 mm TL, 9.1-14.1 kg) and one bighead carp (H. nobilis) (1065 mm TL, 15.9 kg) were collected in the West Middle Pearl River 29 September - 1 October 2015 (RKM 18.9-20.8), 10.5 km E of Slidell, LA (St. Tammany Parish). All specimens were male and ranged 6-9 years in age. A silver carp (age = 7) was collected by a recreational fisher 19 November 2015 in the Pearl River below the Ross Barnett Reservoir (RKM 480) near Jackson, MS. These three collections are believed to represent nonindigenous silver and bighead carp dispersal from the Mississippi River Basin during floods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - In this paper, we describe a stretchable solid-state electronic switching material that operates at high voltage potentials, as well as a switch material benchmarking technique that utilizes a modular dielectric elastomer (artificial muscle) ring oscillator. The solid-state switching material was integrated into our oscillator, which self-started after 16 s and performed 5 oscillations at a frequency of 1.05 Hz with 3.25 kV DC input. Our materials-by-design approach for the nickel filled polydimethylsiloxane based switch has resulted in significant improvements over previous carbon grease-based switches in four key areas, namely, sharpness of switching behavior upon applied stretch, magnitude of electrical resistance change, ease of manufacture, and production rate. Switch lifetime was demonstrated to be in the range of tens to hundreds of cycles with the current process. An interesting and potentially useful strain-based switching hysteresis behavior is also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - We apply the formalism of quantum measurement theory to the idealized measurement of the position of a particle with an optical interferometer, finding that the backaction of counting entangled photons systematically collapses the particle's wavefunction toward a narrow Gaussian wavepacket at the location xest determined by the measurement without appeal to environmental decoherence or other spontaneous collapse mechanism. Further, the variance in the particle's position, as calculated from the post-measurement wavefunction, agrees precisely with shot-noise limited uncertainty of the measured xest. Both the identification of the absolute square of the particle's initial wavefunction as the probability density for xest and the de Broglie hypothesis emerge as consequences of interpreting the intensity of the optical field as proportional to the probability of detecting a photon. Linear momentum information that is encoded in the particle's initial wavefunction survives the measurement, and the pre-measurement expectation values are preserved in the ensemble average.

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

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

AB - A 3-year-old male presented with progressive pruritic red-orange plaques across most of his body with erythema, desquamation, and fissuring of the hands and feet. He was diagnosed with classic juvenile (type III) pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) and treated with oral isotretinoin for 6 months. His skin findings resolved quickly during the treatment period, with residual postinflammatory hypopigmentation resolving within a year. PRP is rare in pediatric patients and standard recommended treatment algorithms for this population are not currently available. Diagnostic and treatment guidelines for PRP are based almost exclusively on case reports or case series, most of which focus on adult patients. The presentation, evaluation, and management of PRP are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The idea of the preoperative anesthesia clinic as a means of examining and treating the patient so that he will arrive in the operating theater as strong and healthy as possible is well established in practice and literature.However, problems in clinic design and execution often result in high patient waiting times, decreased patient and staff satisfaction, decreased patient capacity, and high clinic costs. Although the details of clinic design, outcomes, and satisfaction have been extensively evaluated at civilian hospitals, we have not found corresponding literature addressing these issues specifically within military preoperative evaluation clinics. We find that changing to an appointment-based (versus walk-in) system and eliminating data collection step redundancies will likely result in lower wait times, higher satisfaction, lower per patient costs, and a more streamlined and resource-efficient structure.

AB - Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an evidence-based model that provides high-quality medical education for common and complex diseases through telementoring and comanagement of patients with primary care clinicians. In a one to many knowledge network, the ECHO model helps to bridge the gap between primary care clinicians and specialists by enhancing the knowledge, skills, confidence, and practice of primary care clinicians in their local communities. As a result, patients in rural and urban underserved areas are able to receive best practice care without long waits or having to travel long distances. The ECHO model has been replicated in 43 university hubs in the United States and five other countries. A new replication tool was developed by the Project ECHO Pain team and U.S. Army Medical Command to ensure a high-fidelity replication of the model. The adoption of the tool led to successful replication of ECHO in the Army Pain initiative. This replication tool has the potential to improve the fidelity of ECHO replication efforts around the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Unlabelled: The Eagle Tactical Athlete Program (ETAP) was scientifically developed for the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) to counter unintentional musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs).Purpose: To determine if ETAP would reduce unintentional MSIs in a group of 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Soldiers.Methods: ETAP-trained noncommissioned led physical training. 1,720 Soldiers were enrolled (N = 1,136 experimental group [EXP], N = 584 control group [CON]) with injuries tracked before and after initiation of ETAP. The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes were analyzed and described the anatomic locations, anatomic sub-locations, onset, and injury types. McNemar tests compared the proportions of injured subjects within each group.Results: There was a significant reduction in the proportion of Soldiers with preventable MSIs in the EXP (pre: 213/1,136 (18.8%), post: 180/1,136 (15.8%), p = 0.041) but not in the CON. In addition, there was a significant reduction in stress fractures in the EXP (pre: 14/1,136 (1.2%), post: 5/1,136 (0.4%), p = 0.022) but no significant differences in the CON.Conclusion: The current analysis demonstrated that ETAP reduces preventable MSIs in garrison. The capability of ETAP to reduce injuries confirms the vital role of a scientifically designed training program on force readiness and health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Construction and use of an ultraviolet light-emitting diode-based fluorometer for measuring photoluminescence (PL) from powder samples with a fiber optic probe is described. Fluorescence at two wavelengths is detected by miniature photomultiplier tubes, each equipped with a different band pass filter, whose outputs are analyzed by a microprocessor. Photoluminescent metal oxides and hydroxides, and other semiconducting nanoparticles, often undergo changes in their emission spectra upon exposure to reactive gases, and the ratio of the PL intensities at two wavelengths is diagnostic of adsorption. Use of this instrument for reactive gas sensing and gas filtration applications is illustrated by measuring changes in the PL ratio for zirconium hydroxide and zinc oxide particles upon exposure to air containing low concentrations of sulfur dioxide.

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - The purpose of this study was to assess inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability of the 2-minute, 90° push-up test as utilized in the Army Physical Fitness Test. Analysis of rater assessment reliability included both total score agreement and agreement across individual push-up repetitions. This study utilized 8 Raters who assessed 15 different videotaped push-up performances over 4 iterations separated by a minimum of 1 week. The 15 push-up participants were videotaped during the semiannual Army Physical Fitness Test. Each Rater randomly viewed the 15 push-up and verbally responded with a "yes" or "no" to each push-up repetition. The data generated were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation as well as the kappa, modified kappa and the intra-class correlation coefficient (3,1). An attribute agreement analysis was conducted to determine the percent of inter-rater and intra-rater agreement across individual push-ups.The results indicated that Raters varied a great deal in assessing push-ups. Over the 4 trials of 15 participants, the overall scores of the Raters varied between 3.0 and 35.7 push-ups. Post hoc comparisons found that there was significant increase in the grand mean of push-ups from trials 1-3 to trial 4 (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant difference among raters over the 4 trials (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation coefficients for inter-rater and intra-rater reliability identified inter-rater reliability coefficients were between 0.10 and 0.97. Intra-rater coefficients were between 0.48 and 0.99. Intra-rater agreement for individual push-up repetitions ranged from 41.8% to 84.8%. The results indicated that the raters failed to assess the same push-up repetition with the same score (below 70% agreement) as well as failed to agree when viewed between raters (29%). Interestingly, as previously mentioned, scores on trial 4 increased significantly which might have been caused by rater drift or that the Raters did not maintain the push-up standard over the trials. It does appear that the final push-up scores received by each participant was a close approximation of actual performance (within 65%) but when assessing physical performance for retention in the Army, a more reliable test might be considered.

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Nadal-Caraballo, N.C.; Melby, J.A., and Gonzalez, V.M., 2016. Statistical analysis of historical extreme water levels for the U.S. North Atlantic coast using Monte Carlo life-cycle simulation. A statistical analysis of extreme water levels was performed for 23 locations throughout the U.S. North Atlantic coast. Extreme value analysis, which focused on historical observations, was followed by the application of a Monte Carlo life-cycle simulation methodology. This study was part of a broader effort to quantify coastal flooding hazards in this region. Twenty-three stations were selected based on location and record length, meeting the requirement of a minimum of 30 years of hourly water-level measurements. Monthly maxima data were also used to complement the hourly water-level observations. The use of available water-level data was maximized through the development of partial duration series that combined both monthly maxima and hourly data. A generalized Pareto distribution was used to fit combined partial duration series corresponding to each of the 23 locations. The Monte Carlo life-cycle methodology was used to simulate 10,000 cycles of 100 years each, effectively extending the record lengths of extreme events through statistical simulation. A bootstrapping technique was used as part of Monte Carlo life-cycle simulation in order to develop probability distributions of extreme water levels, including mean, as well as 10% and 90% nonexceedance confidence limits (equivalent to an 80% confidence interval). Water-level probabilities determined in this study were compared to results from a previous effort where the generalized extreme value distribution was used to fit monthly maxima data.

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

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

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

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

AB - The Women in Combat Symposium was held at the Defense Health Headquarters April 29 to May 1, 2014, cohosted by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs and the Consortium for Health and Military Performance. The conference was a call to renew and extend research investment and policy commitment to recognize operational scenarios, requirements, health priorities, and combat-related injury exposures uniquely relevant to the performance and well-being of female Service members. Symposium participants worked in groups to identify knowledge and capability gaps critical to the successful integration, health, and performance of female Service members in combat roles and to develop recommendations for researchers and policy makers to address gaps in three specific areas of concern: Leadership and Peer Behavior, Operational Performance, and Health and Well-Being. Consensus findings are summarized as 20 research gaps and accompanying recommendations. Each represents an opportunity to advance health and performance outcomes and to leverage female Service members' strengths and capacities to the general benefit of all Service members and their families.

AB - This article summarizes presentations from a 2014 United States Department of Defense (DoD) Health Affairs Women in Combat symposium addressing physiological, musculoskeletal injury, and optimized physical training considerations from the operational physical performance section. The symposium was held to provide a state-of-the-science meeting on the U.S. DoD's rescinding of the ground combat exclusion policy opening up combat-centric occupations to women. Physiological, metabolic, body composition, bone density, cardiorespiratory fitness, and thermoregulation differences between men and women were briefly reviewed. Injury epidemiological data are presented within military training and operational environments demonstrating women to be at a higher risk for musculoskeletal injuries than men. Physical training considerations for improved muscle strength and power, occupational task performance, load carriage were also reviewed. Particular focus of this article was given to translating physiological and epidemiological findings from the literature on these topics toward actionable guidance and policy recommendations for military leaders responsible for military physical training doctrine: (1) inclusion of resistance training with special emphasis on strength and power development (i.e., activation of high-threshold motor units and recruitment of type II high-force muscle fibers), upper-body strength development, and heavy load carriage, (2) moving away from "field expediency" as the major criteria for determining military physical training policy and training implementation, (3) improvement of load carriage ability with emphasis placed on specific load carriage task performance, combined with both resistance and endurance training, and (4) providing greater equipment resources, coaching assets, and increased training time dedicated to physical readiness training.

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

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

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

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

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

Structural characterization shows evidence of either surface segregation or cellular breakdown in all transition metals investigated, preventing the formation of high supersaturations. However, concentration-depth profiling reveals that regions of Si supersaturated with Au and Zn are formed below the regions of cellular breakdown. Fits to the concentration-depth profile are used to estimate the diffusive speeds, vD, of Au and Zn, and put lower bounds on vD of the other metals ranging from 102 to 104 m/s. Knowledge of vD is used to tailor the irradiation conditions and synthesize single-crystal Si supersaturated with 1019 Au/cm3 without cellular breakdown. Values of vD are compared to those for other elements in Si. Two independent thermophysical properties, the solute diffusivity at the melting temperature, Ds(Tm), and the equilibrium partition coefficient, ke, are shown to simultaneously affect vD. We demonstrate a correlation between vD and the ratio Ds(Tm)/ke0.67, which is exhibited for Group III, IV, and V solutes but not for the transition metals investigated. Nevertheless, comparison with experimental results suggests that Ds(Tm)/ke0.67 might serve as a metric for evaluating the potential to supersaturate Si with transition metals by PLM.

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

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

AB - Development of the new, insensitive, energetic compound, NTO (3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one), creates need for the data on NTO's fate and transport to predict its behavior in the environment and potential for groundwater contamination. To measure the transport of NTO in soils, we conducted miscible-displacement experiments under steady state and interrupted flow conditions using eight soils having varying physical and geochemical properties. The breakthrough curve (BTC) data were analyzed using temporal moment analysis and simulated using HYDRUS-1D to determine transport parameters and better understand the mechanisms of sorption and transformation. Parameters determined from the miscible-displacement study were compared to results obtained from batch experiments conducted for the same soils, and examined in relation to soil properties. Column NTO linear adsorption coefficients ( K d ) were low and correlated well (P = 0.000049) with measurements from the batch studies. NTO transformation rate constants increased and NTO recovery decreased with increase in soil organic carbon (OC) content. Autoclaved soils had slower transformation rates and greater NTO recoveries indicating that microorganisms play a role in NTO transformation. In addition, the transformation rate increased with time in soils with higher OC. Monod-type kinetics was implemented in HYDRUS-1D to simulate the observed increase in transformation rate with time. We think this phenomenon is due to bacterial growth. Results indicate very low adsorption of NTO in a range of soils, but natural attenuation through transformation that, depending on soil OC content and hydraulic residence time, could result in complete removal of NTO.

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

AB - We use hybrid-functional density functional theory to study the role of oxygen vacancies in negative bias-and-temperature stress-induced threshold voltage instability in 4H-silicon carbide power MOSFETs. According to our model, certain originally electrically “inactive” oxygen vacancies are structurally transformed into electrically “active” defects in the presence of strong negative bias and temperature. These newly generated defect configurations function as short-lived or long-lived switching oxide hole traps. The transients of their generation process are shown to correlate well with the measured “short-term” threshold voltage instability. Additionally, we show that the long-lived defects continue to degrade the room-temperature reliability of these devices even after stress removal. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - The present work incorporates a two dimensional Monte Carlo based polycrystalline simulation analysis for ferroelectric thin films. In the two stage process; first, grain growth is simulated via a traditional Q-State Monte Carlo method, taking into account isotropic grain boundary energies. Second, the grain growth results are incorporated within an electric polarization model, combining contributions from a three component Hamiltonian, including the electrostatic potential, nearest neighbor electrical interactions, and electrostatic energy. Among other findings, the results suggest a strong correlation between electric polarization and grain size, particularly at relatively large electric field frequencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

AB - This work presents the implementation and stability analysis of a method to account for inertial soil-structure interaction (SSI) in time-history analyses, which is achieved by approximating nominally frequency-dependent foundation impedance functions in the time domain using discrete-time digital filters. The method is demonstrated using a multi-story shear building supported by a rigid disk foundation resting atop a uniform soil half-space and subjected to a horizontal ground motion. The soil-foundation-structure system's equations of motion are numerically integrated to determine its time-history response. The results are verified through comparison to those obtained both through frequency domain analyses and through sampling of the foundation impedance functions at a representative frequency. Numerical stability of the method is examined both analytically and numerically; and it was determined that the stability of the filter and the stability of the time-stepping method adopted do not guarantee that their combination will be stable as well.

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

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

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

AB - We performed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effects of layer thicknesses of both crystalline and noncrystalline domains and chain tilt within the crystalline lamellae on tensile deformation mechanisms of the lamellar stack model of semicrystalline polyethylene. For equal thicknesses of crystalline and noncrystalline regions, similar stress-strain profiles were obtained with two different initial orientations of the crystal stem relative to the tensile direction. Repeated melting/recrystallization transitions were observed, at the slower strain rate of 5 × 106 s-1, characterized by oscillating stress-strain profiles. With increasing thickness of the crystalline regions, these oscillations occurred less frequently. For systems with initially tilted chain stems in the crystalline domain, decreasing the thickness of the noncrystalline region increased the number of short bridge segments in the noncrystalline region connecting the two crystalline regions and induced significant shear stresses, rearrangements in the crystalline region, and the strain hardening during the tensile deformation.

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

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

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

AB - In recent years much emphasis has been placed on the synthesis of highly novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with general disregard to development of sustainable synthesis techniques. A novel synthesis of UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2, two highly stable MOFs that have shown much promise in the area of catalysis and reactive removal of small molecules, from acetone is demonstrated here. Using this method, the MOFs can be activated by simple heating under vacuum without the need for solvent exchange, which can be a timely processing step that requires the use of large amounts of solvent. The activity of the series of MOFs synthesized at various temperatures was determined by the rate of hydrolysis of methyl paraoxon and the reactive capacity of UiO-66-NH2 with chlorine gas. Direct correlations were observed between synthesis temperature, crystallinity, BET surface area, and activity of the MOFs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Objective: To determine whether acoustic reflexes are pervasive (i.e. sufficiently prevalent to provide 95% confidence of at least 95% prevalence) and might be invoked in damage-risk criteria (DRC) and health hazard assessments (HHA) for impulsive noise. Design: Cross-sectional analyses of a nationally-representative study. Study sample: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data collected between 1999 and 2012 were used. Over 60 thousand reflex traces obtained from 15,106 NHANES participants were used in the study, along with demographic, audiometric, health and exposure variables obtained in that study. Results: Acoustic reflexes were not sufficiently prevalent to be deemed pervasive by any detection method or in any subgroup defined by age or audiometric characteristics. The odds of observing acoustic reflexes were greater for women, young adults, and people with better hearing sensitivity. Abnormally high tympanometric admittance and “Other” race/ethnicity (i.e. people who do not self-identify as exclusively Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Mexican–American, or Hispanic) were associated with lower odds. Conclusions: Acoustic reflexes are not sufficiently prevalent to be included in DRC and HHA for impulsive noise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Biuret (C2H5N3O2) has been studied to 30 GPa by Raman spectroscopy and 50 GPa by X-ray diffraction. Raman peaks exhibit shoulders and splitting that suggests that the molecules undergo reorientation in response to compression. These are observed in three pressure ranges: the first from 3-5 GPa, the second from 8-12 GPa, and finally from 16-20 GPa. The particular modes in the sample that are observed to change in the Raman are strongly linked to the molecular vibrations involving the N-H and the C-O bond, which are most strongly coupled to the hydrogen-bonded lattice structure. The X-ray diffraction suggests that the crystal maintains a monoclinic structure to the highest pressures studied. Although there was a considerable degree of hysteresis observed in some X-ray runs, all the changes observed under pressure are reversible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The decomposition characteristics of five candidate polysulfide (LP-33) based ramjet solid fuel formulations are evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The formulations are variants on the polymer crosslink mechanism and the doping mass fraction of elemental sulfur. Four fuel candidates are oxidatively cured and one formulation is cured with isocyanates. Post-cure, the Shore-A hardness of each sample is measured followed by TGA and DSC analysis. The objective of this research is to develop a solid fuel ramjet formulation with thermal decomposition onset temperatures lower than conventional ramjet fuels while maintaining a Shore-A hardness of at least 30. The results show that polysulfide based formulations decompose at temperatures approximately 120 °C lower than hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene based fuels. Additionally, the results demonstrate that the decomposition onset temperature, and the heat of decomposition can be further reduced with the addition of elemental sulfur. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Many oviparous reptiles deposit eggs in excavated nest chambers, and the location and depth at which eggs are laid can affect predation risk, incubation duration, mortality rates, and hatchling phenotype. Among turtles, nest depth also influences incubation conditions of some large-bodied species, but nest depth is generally expected to vary less among small-bodied species. We monitored nesting behavior of Ornate Box Turtles ( Terrapene ornata (Agassiz, 1857)) for two seasons in Illinois. We used direct observations to confirm that, among 31 nesting events, six females oviposited while beneath the substrate surface. Furthermore, comparisons of body length to nest depth indicated that five additional females likely also constructed nests while buried. Nests laid while females were underground were deeper, on average, than other nests (16.7 versus 11.2 cm), and while mean nest temperatures were similar between groups, temperature fluctuations and maximum temperatures were lower among nests that were laid while females were underground. Subterranean oviposition appears to have moderated incubation temperatures by allowing females to deposit eggs at greater depths than would be possible from the surface. This little-documented behavior may be a mechanism for this species to influence the incubation environment, which in turn may influence hatchling phenotypes. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - De nombreux reptiles ovipares déposent leurs œufs dans des chambres de nidification excavées, l'emplacement et la profondeur à laquelle sont pondus les œufs pouvant avoir une incidence sur le risque de prédation, la durée d'incubation, les taux de mortalité et le phénotype des bébés. Chez les tortues, la profondeur du nid influence également les conditions d'incubation de certaines espèces à grand corps, mais il est généralement anticipé que la profondeur du nid varie moins chez les espèces à petit corps. Nous avons surveillé le comportement de nidification de tortues-boîtes ornées ( Terrapene ornata (Agassiz, 1857)) pendant deux saisons en Illinois. Nous nous sommes servis d'observations directes pour confirmer que, sur 31 évènements de nidification, six femelles ont pondu alors qu'elles étaient sous la surface du substrat. En outre, des comparaisons de la longueur du corps et de la profondeur du nid indiquent que cinq autres femelles ont probablement construit des nids alors qu'elles étaient enfouies. Les nids déposés alors que les femelles étaient sous terre étaient plus profonds en moyenne que les autres nids (16,7 contre 11,2 cm) et, si la température moyenne des nids était semblable d'un groupe à l'autre, les fluctuations de température et les températures maximums étaient plus faibles pour les nids mis en place quand les femelles étaient sous terre. La ponte souterraine semble avoir modéré les températures d'incubation en permettant aux femelles de pondre leurs œufs à de plus grandes profondeurs que ce qui serait possible de la surface. Ce comportement peu documenté pourrait être un mécanisme par lequel cette espèce influence le milieu d'incubation, ce qui, en retour, pourrait influencer le phénotype des bébés.

AB - Introduction Many non-battle injuries among deployed soldiers are due to occupational-related tasks. Given that non-battle injuries are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, occupational safety and health are of great concern to the military. Some of the leading causes of non-battle injuries in the military are also common in non-military occupational settings. Nationally, falls and motor-vehicle accidents are leading causes of non-fatal occupational injuries in the civilian workforce. The objective of this research is to identify the leading causes, types, and anatomic locations of non-fatal non-battle injuries in Afghanistan and Iraq. Methods Non-battle injuries were identified from medical air evacuation records. Causes of air evacuated injuries were identified and coded using the diagnosis and narrative patient history in the air evacuation records. Descriptive statistics were used to report the air evacuated non-battle injury rates, causes, injury types, and anatomic locations. Results Between 2001 and 2013, there were 68,349 medical air evacuations from Afghanistan and Iraq. Non-battle injuries accounted for 31% of air evacuations from Afghanistan and 34% from Iraq. These injuries were the leading diagnosis category for air evacuations. The three leading causes of injury for Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively, were sports/physical training (23% and 24%), falls/jumps (19% and 16%), and military vehicle-related accidents (8% and 11%). The leading injury types were fractures (21%), overuse pain and inflammation (16%), and dislocations (11%). Practical applications Given that over 30% of medical evacuations of soldiers result from non-battle injuries, prevention of such conditions would substantially enhance military readiness during combat.

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

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

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

AB - We present findings from a study that prohibited computer devices in randomly selected classrooms of an introductory economics course at the United States Military Academy. Average final exam scores among students assigned to classrooms that allowed computers were 0.18 standard deviations lower than exam scores of students in classrooms that prohibited computers. Through the use of two separate treatment arms, we uncover evidence that this negative effect occurs in classrooms where laptops and tablets are permitted without restriction and in classrooms where students are only permitted to use tablets that must remain flat on the desk.

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

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

AB - Using data from the United States Military Academy at West Point ( N = 1102 and N = 1049) from two successive years, we examined psychological measures of cadets and the correlations of those measures with consequential outcomes such as cadet performance and leadership potential. We examined four broad intelligences, two of which were thing-focused (spatial and mathematical) and two people-focused (verbal and personal intelligences) and their predictions to thing- and people-centered courses (e.g., chemistry versus psychology). We found support for a thing-people differential in reasoning. The broad intelligences and the Big Five personality traits also predicted academic and other performance criteria at consequential levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - Background The worst Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in history has resulted in more than 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths. We present the final results of two phase 1 trials of an attenuated, replication-competent, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV)-based vaccine candidate designed to prevent EVD. Methods We conducted two phase 1, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalation trials of an rVSV-based vaccine candidate expressing the glycoprotein of a Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV). A total of 39 adults at each site (78 participants in all) were consecutively enrolled into groups of 13. At each site, volunteers received one of three doses of the rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine (3 million plaque-forming units [PFU], 20 million PFU, or 100 million PFU) or placebo. Volunteers at one of the sites received a second dose at day 28. Safety and immunogenicity were assessed. Results The most common adverse events were injection-site pain, fatigue, myalgia, and headache. Transient rVSV viremia was noted in all the vaccine recipients after dose 1. The rates of adverse events and viremia were lower after the second dose than after the first dose. By day 28, all the vaccine recipients had seroconversion as assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against the glycoprotein of the ZEBOV-Kikwit strain. At day 28, geometric mean titers of antibodies against ZEBOV glycoprotein were higher in the groups that received 20 million PFU or 100 million PFU than in the group that received 3 million PFU, as assessed by ELISA and by pseudovirion neutralization assay. A second dose at 28 days after dose 1 significantly increased antibody titers at day 56, but the effect was diminished at 6 months. Conclusions This Ebola vaccine candidate elicited anti-Ebola antibody responses. After vaccination, rVSV viremia occurred frequently but was transient. These results support further evaluation of the vaccine dose of 20 million PFU for preexposure prophylaxis and suggest that a second dose may boost antibody responses.

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

AB - High-pressure cold spray was used to deposit 7075 aluminum powder onto 7075-T6 substrates. We investigated the effects of post deposition heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the deposits. For this purpose, both low-temperature and high-temperature treatments were carried out on specimens excised from the deposits. Microstructures of the as-deposited and heat treated samples were characterized via different microscopy techniques and mechanical properties were evaluated by microtensile and hardness tests. The results were then correlated with the observed microstructures in different conditions. The strength and ductility of the cold sprayed 7075 deposits increased after both low- and high-temperature treatments, which resulted in precipitation of strengthening phases and increased inter-particle bonding. Because of a change in bonding mechanism, heat treatment at high temperature yielded markedly greater ductility than all other conditions. Diffusion and microstructural sintering at the particle-particle interfaces were proposed to cause the change in bonding mechanism from mechanical interlocking to metallurgical bonding and lead to the ductile characteristics of these samples. The understanding gained from this research should lead to optimization of and pre- and post-processing treatments for cold spray deposits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

AB - Small-scale shear punch testing has been applied to a butt joint created by friction stir welding of two adjoining AA2139-T8 plates. Advantages of this technique include the ability to perform a large number of independent tests on a given volume of material and the ability to measure site-specific differences and variations in local material properties. As such, combined with a simultaneous evaluation of the weld morphology, a series of 144 shear punch tests were carried out in a 12×12 grid pattern on the retreating half of the weld. The overlay of the grid pattern onto the etched surface allowed a correlation of the microstructure and mechanical properties measured across the weld at each shear punch site. Two-dimensional color enhanced property maps were generated to provide a powerful site specific visualization of the unique or distinctive microstructural features and how they correlate with the local mechanical response across the weld. One of the more insightful discoveries was the weld nugget region undergoing 2.5 times more strain-hardening than the base plate material, while simultaneously experiencing the Portevin-LeChatelier effect. Aspects of the technique and results of our experiments are described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - During the Iraq War (2003-2011), the U.S. government dispatched teams of forensic archaeologists and anthropologists to examine a series of mass graves, a site of genocide allegedly perpetrated by Saddam Hussein in the late 20th century. Remote sensing and limited field-testing disclosed a crime scene featuring extensive landscape disturbances from haphazard placements of shallow, presumed grave trenches and associated spoil heaps. Geoarchaeological expertise was used to explain the terrain irregularities at the crime scene and to reconstruct the processes and sequence chronology of grave site selection, interments, and site abandonment. Geomorphic investigations included observations of field relations and follow-up sedimentological and geochemical analyses. The precrime scene landforms were demonstrably Upper Pleistocene in age and were underlain by calcretes of variable morphogenetic origins; they produced an impenetrable crust of variable depths. Misreading of these elements underpinned the flawed planning and inefficient excavation and disposal strategies by the perpetrators. Geochemical analysis of the grave fills isolated elements (chiefly K) that could be diagnostic of otherwise homogeneous sediment units. Taken together, these data provided key evidence for conviction of the Hussein regime. A 'geotaphonomic model' for mass graves analysis is proposed as a blueprint for practical and critical future applications of geoarchaeology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This short article answers the question of whether, in the context of current American civil-military relations, senior military professionals may loyally dissent from a decision by civilian authorities, even including by resignation. Stated another way, can their constitutional duties to obedience to civilian authority ever clash so severely with their responsibilities to their profession and its fiduciary trust with the American people that dissent is obligated. The position offered here is that senior military professionals always retain the moral agency for such dissent. It inheres in their role as a steward of an American military profession exercising the discretionary judgments that are the moral core of their professional work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Comparisons of helicopter rotor blade loads, between rotorcraft comprehensive analysis predictions using a free vortex wake model and measured data, are provided for the UH-60A, SA 330 (research Puma), SA 349/2, and H-34 rotors in forward flight. The rotors are modeled as being isolated from the rest of the vehicle. The comparisons encompass a total of 24 test points featuring wide variations in advance ratio for a thorough assessment of the predictions. With the exception of chord bending moment for the case of UH-60A, the analysis correctly predicts trends in half peak-to-peak values of blade structural loads and pitch link force. Most of the predictions in half peak-to-peak blade structural loads and pitch link force deviate from the measured data by no more than 40% and most of the deviations are underpredictions. The predictions typically resemble the measured data in shapes of the waveforms for both flap bending moment and normal force, but this is less often the case for chord bending and torsion moments. While the analysis may capture the 1/rev harmonic contents in pitching moment waveforms, it consistently underpredicts any higher harmonics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - In this work a novel process methodology to concurrently improve the compressive strength (2078 MPa at a strain rate of 5 × 10 −4 s −1 ) and strain-to-failure (over 40%) of bulk tungsten materials has been described. The process involves the in situ formation of intragranular tungsten oxide nanoparticles, facilitated by the application of a pressure of 1 GPa at a low sintering temperature of 1200 °C during spark plasma sintering (SPS). The results show that the application of a high pressure of 1 GPa during SPS significantly accelerates the densification process. Concurrently, the second phase oxide nanoparticles with an average grain size of 108 nm, which are distributed within the interiors of the W grains, simultaneously provide strengthening and plasticity by inhibiting grain growth, and generating, blocking, and storing dislocations.

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

AB - Toughening glassy thermoplastics such as poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) without sacrificing modulus and thermomechanical stability is a valuable but challenging objective. Rigid particulate fillers have been found to improve toughness of some polymers with complex dependence on matrix ductility, particle size, and particle-matrix interfacial adhesion. We tested the effects of both strong and weak interfacial adhesion on deformation and fracture of a model system comprising PMMA filled with monodisperse 1 µm diameter silica spheres. Fracture energy G IC of PMMA was found to increase by over 50% when filled with 1 v% of weakly bonded particles, while the force observed during melt compounding increased by less than 15% and Young's modulus increased systematically with filler loading. However, G IC decreased with filler loading above 1 v%. This behavior is consistent with a modified Kinloch-type model considering localized shear banding and plastic void growth around debonded particles at the crack tip. The ability of the matrix to deform via shear yielding and plastic void growth was confirmed by digital image correlation measurement of volumetric strain in uniaxial tension. We have extended Kinloch's model to account for shortening of the crack tip craze by the particles, which reduces the intrinsic toughness and toughenability of the PMMA matrix. Particles with strong interfacial adhesion generally reduced toughness. The experimental and modeling results suggest weakly bonded particles with size on the order of the crack-tip craze width may provide optimum toughening of glassy thermoplastics.

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

AB - Two Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX)-loaded nitrate ester propellant formulations with polyglycol adipate and polyethylene glycol binders, respectively, are subjected to accelerated aging at 70°C in various humidity environments ranging from 0 to 100% relative humidity (RH). The electrical resistance of each sample is monitored throughout aging, along with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) used to measure the mass fraction of the stabilizers and nitroso/nitro derivatives at the beginning and end of aging. Stabilizer and nitroso/nitro derivative dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions are used to evaluate the electrical resistance of these species as a function of mass fraction. The results indicate a weak correlation of the sample electrical resistance with stabilizer and nitroso/nitro mass fraction and a strong correlation with the moisture content of the sample. Moisture is postulated to affect the electrical resistance of the samples predominately by acid induced hydrolytic decomposition of the nitrate esters present and then further the cross-linked polymeric binders, causing an elevation of the mass fraction of acid species and a decrease in the sample pH.

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

AB - Associative learning is an essential feature of human cognition, accounting for the influence of priming and interference effects on memory recall. Here, we extend our account of associative learning that learns asymmetric item-to-item associations over time via experience (Thomson, Pyke, Trafton, & Hiatt, 2015) by including link maturation to balance associations between longer-term stability while still accounting for short-term variability. This account, combined with an existing account of activation strengthening and decay, predicts both human response times and error rates for the fan effect (Anderson, 1974; Anderson & Reder, 1999) for both target and foil stimuli.

AB - Classically, the exponent of a group is the least common multiple of the orders of its elements. This notion was generalized by Etingof and Gelaki to Hopf algebras. Kashina, Sommerhäuser, and Zhu later observed that there is a strong connection between exponents and Frobenius–Schur indicators. In this article, we introduce the notion of twisted exponents and show there is a similar relationship between the twisted exponent and the twisted Frobenius–Schur indicators defined in previous work of the authors. In particular, we exhibit a new formula for the twisted indicators and use it to prove periodicity and rationality statements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - We report the near through mid-infrared (MIR) optical absorption spectra, over the range 0.05-1.3 eV, of monocrystalline silicon layers hyperdoped with chalcogen atoms synthesized by ion implantation followed by pulsed laser melting. A broad mid-infrared optical absorption band emerges, peaking near 0.5 eV for sulfur and selenium and 0.3 eV for tellurium hyperdoped samples. Its strength and width increase with impurity concentration. Its strength decreases markedly with subsequent thermal annealing. The emergence of a broad MIR absorption band is consistent with the formation of an impurity band from isolated deep donor levels as the concentration of chalcogen atoms in metastable local configurations increases.

AB - Diamond anvil cell (DAC) experiments have been used in various studies to determine plastic flow strength in ductile metals at high pressure. To gain insight into the experiments and assess how accurately the material's strength at pressure can be determined, finite element simulations of DAC experiments are performed. In the analyses, constitutive responses are assumed for the diamonds and the vanadium test specimen; within the constitutive models, the pressure dependence of the strength is prescribed. The quantities typically measured during experiments are extracted from the simulations and analyzed in an identical manner as the experimental data would be to obtain the pressure dependent flow strength. This computed pressure dependent strength is then compared with the prescribed input, allowing the accuracy and sensitivities of the experimental technique to be evaluated. Recommendations are made to improve the accuracy of strength determinations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We report density functional theory band structure calculations of graphene doped with group IV elements. A bandgap as high as 2.13 eV is calculated for a single layer of graphene doped with Si while Ge and Sn doping reduce this bandgap for equal doping concentrations. Bilayers of doped graphene are also studied and it is found that the bandgap of these materials is less than that of the single layer counterparts. Finally, a transverse electric field is applied to the doped bilayers and it is found that the bandgap is inversely proportional to the electric field strength in contrast to what has been observed in the case of pristine bilayers. Carrier effective masses were calculated and in general the effective masses of electrons and holes are found to be similar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Stockton University Coastal Research Center (CRC) continued its biannual measurements of the 105 New Jersey Beach Profile Network (NJBPN) locations to measure beach, dune, and nearshore recovery following the passage of Hurricane Sandy (29 October 2012). Shoreline position and volume changes were recorded from fall 2012 tofall 2015 and provide short-term temporal documentation on recovery to pre-storm conditions. Observations of selected locations from the four ocean-fronting counties are presented to show the influence of human-induced and natural events that followed the storm's landfall, and note local coastal environment and sediment transport patterns on recovery along the Atlantic coast. Passage of Public Law 113-2 allowed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to restore authorized federal projects to their design templates. Approximately 28,281,741 cubic yards of sand were used to rebuild the beaches and dunes. Sixty-three NJBPN profile locations fall within the federal project boundaries and showed significant volumetric gains. The volumes generated through natural recovery did not approach the volumes that were placed via human efforts but the sediment made available to the littoral system benefitted natural beach-dune recovery. The influence of northeast storm events in 2014, October 2015, and again in early 2016 reduced the post-Sandy natural beachdune recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - This work presents a physics based circuit model for calculating the total energy dissipated into neutral species for nanosecond pulsed direct current (DC) dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasmas. Based on experimental observations, it is assumed that the nanosecond pulsed DBD's which have been proposed for aerodynamic flow control can be approximated by two independent regions of homogeneous electric field. An equivalent circuit model is developed for both homogeneous regions based on a combination of a resistor, capacitors, and a zener diode. Instead of fitting the resistance to an experimental data set, a formula is established for approximating the resistance by modeling plasmas as a conductor with DC voltage applied to it. Various assumptions are then applied to the governing Boltzmann equation to approximate electrical conductivity values for weakly ionized plasmas. The developed model is then validated with experimental data of the total power dissipated by plasmas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - The 4H-SiC(0001)/SiO2 interface has a variety of likely defects as reported in the literature. We investigate the defects at the SiC side of the interface using density functional theory. We also investigate the effects of passivating these states. The defects studied include a single carbon interstitial, a carbon pair interstitial, and a silicon vacancy at the interface. Density functional theory has been employed to calculate the total and projected density of states (pDOS) and the energy levels of the defects. The results of our calculations indicate that a carbon interstitial and a pair of carbons give rise to traps near the conduction band and valence band. The silicon vacancy gives rise to traps that are closer to the valence band. The effects of hydrogen and nitrogen passivation on the defect energy levels have been investigated. Our studies indicate that hydrogen and nitrogen passivation can eliminate states near the conduction and valence bands, although in some cases they may introduce levels in the midgap.

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

AB - Using quantum mechanics (QM) and classical force-field based molecular dynamics (FF), we have calculated the principle shock Hugoniot curves for numerous amorphous polymers including poly[methyl methacrylate] (PMMA), poly[styrene], polycarbonate, as well as both the amorphous and crystalline forms of poly[ethylene]. In the FF calculations, we considered a non-reactive force field (i.e., polymer consistent FF). The QM calculations were performed with density functional theory (DFT) using dispersion corrected atom centered pseudopotentials. Overall, results obtained by DFT show much better agreement with available experimental data than classical force fields. In particular, DFT calculated Hugoniot curves for PMMA up to 74 GPa are in very good agreement with experimental data, where a preliminary study of chain fracture and association was also performed. Structure analysis calculations of the radius of gyration and carbon-carbon radial distribution function were also carried out to elucidate contraction of the polymer chains with increasing pressure.

AB - Combustion temperatures from impact initiated nickel-aluminum (NiAl) and aluminum-polytetrafluoroethylene (Al-PTFE) materials have been measured using a high-speed two-camera imaging pyrometer. The materials were launched with a nominal velocity of 1700 m/s into a sealed chamber. Upon impact into a steel anvil chemical reactions were initiated and a flame propagated through the chamber. The measured temperature after impact was 3600 K (NiAl) and 3300 K (Al-PTFE). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The structural and chemical properties of the bi-molecular, hydrogen-bonded, nitrogen-rich energetic material triaminoguanidinium 1-methyl-5-nitriminotetrazolate C3H12N12O2 (TAG-MNT) have been investigated at room pressure and under high pressure isothermal compression using powder x-ray diffraction and Raman and infrared spectroscopy. A stiffening of the equation of state and concomitant structural relaxation between 6 and 14 GPa are found to correlate with Raman mode disappearances, frequency discontinuities, and changes in the pressure dependence of modes. These observations manifest the occurrence of a reversible martensitic structural transformation to a new crystalline phase. The onset and vanishing of Fermi resonance in the nitrimine group correlate with the stiffening of the equation of state and phase transition, suggesting a possible connection between these phenomena. Beyond 15 GPa, pressure induces irreversible chemical reactions, culminating in the formation of a polymeric phase by 60 GPa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - We report a single-aerosol-particle-scope using an optical trapping-cavity ringdown spectroscopy technique. The scope can not only view physical parameters such as size, motion, and restoring force constant of a single aerosol particle trapped in air but also display time-, particle-, or wavelength-resolved chemical properties such as single aerosol particle extinction. We demonstrate the scope by trapping and walking single carbon-nanotube particles of ~50 μm in size and viewing those properties via changes of ringdown time. This single-aerosol-particle-scope offers a powerful tool to study both physical and chemical properties as well as their evolving dynamics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Unlabelled: In the U.S. Army, falls have historically been among the top five causes of hospitalization and a leading cause of nonbattle injuries in military operations overseas.Objective: For safety and public health professionals, commanders, and supervisors looking to address this problem, a literature review was conducted to identify and summarize existing fall prevention strategies applicable to a working-age population.Methods: A total of nine literature databases were searched for articles published from 1970 to 2011. Article titles and abstracts were screened to select original research with an injury or noninjury outcome. Intervention studies were reviewed in detail and quality scored by 3 public health scientists.Results: The search identified over 2,200 articles. Of these, 525 met inclusion criteria and were reviewed in more detail, resulting in identification of 9 interventions. Nearly all of the identified interventions had been implemented in occupational environments. Study quality was rated and scores ranged from 4.5 to 8.0 (maximum 10 points).Conclusions: Few intervention studies were identified. Multifaceted programs showed the greatest promise for translation to military environments. Additional evaluation research is greatly needed to further efforts to address this leading military public health problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - Wamsley, T.V.; Collier, Z.A.; Brodie, K.; Dunkin, L.M.; Raff, D., and Rosati, J.D., 2015. Guidance for developing coastal vulnerability metrics. Appropriate coastal zone management and storm-damage risk reduction requires the assessment of vulnerability in natural and human environments. Confusion arises, however, as vulnerability is conceptualized in many different ways and is closely related to other concepts such as risk and resilience. This paper defines nomenclature, presents a conceptual definition of vulnerability, and lays out a proposed conceptual approach for identifying and defining meaningful metrics to ensure a complete assessment of coastal vulnerability. While the focus of this paper is developing metrics for assessing vulnerability to coastal storms, the approach is valid for a wide range of systems and hazards at multiple scales and can explicitly consider the impacts of climate change. The approach is demonstrated through application to a simply coupled human-environment system on the coast and explicitly considers natural and nature-based features. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - The Department of Defense Serum Repository (DoDSR) of the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center (AFHSC), Silver Spring, Maryland, has over 55 million specimens. Over 80% of these specimens are linked to individual health data. In response to Congressional and Department of Defense (DoD) concern about toxic exposures of deployed Service members and rapidly developing laboratory capabilities that may identify those exposed, the AFHSC hosted two panels in 2013. The first, the Needs Panel, focused on assessing the needs of the DoD that may be met using the current DoDSR and an enhanced repository. The second panel, the Technical Panel, focused on identifying the emerging laboratory technologies that are or will be available to DoD public health workers and researchers. This report summarizes the recommendations of the Technical Panel, to include identified gaps in the ability of the current DoDSR to address questions of interest to the DoD, the availability of laboratory technology to address these needs, and the types and quality of specimens required from Service members possibly exposed.

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

AB - The shock Hugoniot of boron carbide, from 0 to 80 GPa, has been obtained using first principles quantum mechanics (density functional theory) and molecular dynamics simulation. The Hugoniot for six different structures which vary by structure or stoichiometry were computed and compared to experimental data. The effect of stoichiometry, and structural variation within a given stoichiometry, are shown to have marked effects on the shock properties with some compositions displaying bilinear behavior in the computed shock velocity-particle velocity profiles while others show a continuous Hugoniot curve with no evidence of a phase transition over the pressure range considered in this work. Two structures, B12( CBC) and B11Cp( CCB), have predicted phase transition pressures lying within the 40-50 GPa range suggested experimentally. It is shown that the phase transition is driven by deformation of the 3-atom chain within the boron carbide crystal structure which induces a discontinuous volume change at the critical shock pressure. The effect of defects, in the form of chain vacancies, on the shock response is presented and the ability of shear to significantly lower the phase transition pressure, in accord with experimental observation, is demonstrated.

AB - The stabilization of "difficult" loads that become aerodynamically unstable at airspeeds well below the power-limited speed of the helicopter-load configuration has been studied since the 1960s. This paper looks at the possibility of stabilizing slung loads in forward flight by imposing a slow steady rotation in yaw (spin stabilization). Slow rotations of 100-150 deg/s suffice to suppress the pendulum motions of the load. A swivel is required at the hook, and only a few foot-pounds of yaw moment are needed to overcome swivel friction and impose the desired yaw rate. The approach is limited to single-point suspensions. A stabilizer design consisting of a one-shaft anemometer-like device with hemispherical cups at the ends was developed in wind tunnel tests. The shaft angle can be controlled to vary the applied yaw moment and allow feedback regulation of the load yaw rate. Flight tests with two cargo containers demonstrated that a simple linear control law with fixed gains was effective in maintaining the desired yaw rate in forward flight over the range of configurations of the test loads. Wind tunnel data were obtained at all stages of the development and testing and proved to be an accurate source of design data and an accurate predictor of performance in flight.

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

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

AB - The emotions associated with beef consumption, the influence of breeding system information on emotions (“Conventional” - C vs “Only from the Italian Simmental” – OIS label) and their relationship with liking were evaluated by 93 meat consumers. Respondents were asked to evaluate the same samples of Italian Simmental meat provided with the two different labels. Liking scores were obtained using a 9-point scale and the emotions from the EsSense25 list were scored on 5-point scale (1 = “not at all”, 5 = “extremely”). A positive and significant effect of OIS information was highlighted on liking scores. Moreover, the breeding system information significantly affected 22 out of the 25 emotions. OIS label elicited higher positive and lower negative feelings about the meat than did the C label. Providing the same beef with different breeding information led to different emotions being evoked in consumers, and these differences in emotions were associated with different levels of liking for beef.

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Long-term noise assessments are performed as part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process prior to construction of facilities or significant changes to operations on military installations. In the past, these assessments have been based on a single, typical or average propagation condition. ISO 13474 dictates that a weighted set of propagation condition-specific tables shall be used within the noise assessment. In this paper we explore the differences between noise assessments using local conditions and the averaged condition. We found that the assessed annual C-weighted sound exposure level (CSEL) using conditions for seven geographically different locations differed by up to 3 dB in the four cardinal directions for distances up to 10 km, indicating that an average propagation condition may be satisfactory for most locations.

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

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

AB - It is demonstrated that a delay line based on a one-dimensional magnonic crystal used in a feedback loop of a microwave auto-oscillator can substantially reduce the phase noise figure and improve other vital performance characteristics of the auto-oscillator. The advantage is achieved due to the increase of the effective delay time in the magnonic crystal, compared to the case of an unpatterned yttrium iron garnet (YIG) film, and improvement of the power-handling characteristics due to the now possible increase of the YIG film thickness. The internal modes of a magnonic crystal caused by the periodic energy exchange between the incident and reflected spin waves play the dominant role in the described effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Background Pediatric toxic epidermal necrolysis ( TEN) is a rare and potentially fatal skin disease with a multitude of causative factors and no consensus on treatment guidelines and, as a result, it has a variety of short- and long-term outcomes. We present the experience of a large specialty burn center to share our diagnostic and treatment principles. Methods A retrospective review from 1989 to 2010 at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center was performed to find patients with a diagnosis of Steven-Johnson syndrome ( SJS) or TEN. Information was obtained on demographic and physiologic parameters such as age, race, total body surface area involved, treatments, hospital stay, and need for ventilator support. Results We identified SJS or TEN in 21 patients. Prescription drugs were the most common etiology (in 15 patients), with antibiotics as the most common causative agent. Histology confirmed the clinical diagnosis of TEN in 14 patients. Our treatment plan included a multidisciplinary team, early initiation of intravenous immunoglobulin, bronchoscopy, strict management of electrolyte and fluid balances, and meticulous surgical wound care. Mortality was 9.5%. Conclusion Our experience in treating this rare but devastating disease affords us the opportunity to share the diagnostic dilemmas we faced and the treatment principles we used to treat this unique patient population successfully.

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Background: Members of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group, including tick-borne encephalitis virus, are responsible for at least 10,000 clinical cases of tick-borne encephalitis each year. To attempt to explain the long-term maintenance of members of this group, we followed Ornithodoros parkeri, O. sonrai, and O. tartakovskyi for >2,900 days after they had been exposed to Karshi virus, a member of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group. Methodology/Principal Findings: Ticks were exposed to Karshi virus either by allowing them to feed on viremic suckling mice or by intracoelomic inoculation. The ticks were then allowed to feed individually on suckling mice after various periods of extrinsic incubation to determine their ability to transmit virus by bite and to determine how long the ticks would remain infectious. The ticks remained efficient vectors of Karshi virus, even when tested >2,900 d after their initial exposure to virus, including those ticks exposed to Karshi virus either orally or by inoculation. Conclusions/Significance: Ornithodoros spp. ticks were able to transmit Karshi virus for >2,900 days (nearly 8 years) after a single exposure to a viremic mouse. Therefore, these ticks may serve as a long-term maintenance mechanism for Karshi virus and potentially other members of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Effects of concentrated solar radiation on photovoltaic performance are investigated in well-developed GaAs quantum dot (QD) solar cells with 1-Sun efficiencies of 18%-19%. In these devices, the conversion processes are enhanced by nanoscale potential barriers and/or AlGaAs atomically thin barriers around QDs, which prevent photoelectron capture to QDs. Under concentrated radiation, the short circuit current increases proportionally to the concentration and the open circuit voltage shows the logarithmic increase. In the range up to hundred Suns, the contributions of QDs to the photocurrent are proportional to the light concentration. The ideality factors of 1.1-1.3 found from the VOC-Sun characteristics demonstrate effective suppression of recombination processes in barrier-separated QDs. The conversion efficiency shows the wide maximum in the range of 40-90 Suns and reaches 21.6%. Detailed analysis of I-V-Sun characteristics shows that at low intensities, the series resistance decreases inversely proportional to the concentration and, at ~40 Suns, reaches the plateau determined mainly by the front contact resistance. Improvement of contact resistance would increase efficiency to above 24% at thousand Suns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are two-dimensional materials that show promise for flexible electronics and piezoelectric applications, but their weak mechanical strength is a barrier to practical use. In this work, we perform nanoindentation simulations using atomistic molecular dynamics to study the mechanical properties of heterostructures formed by combining MoS2 with graphene. We consider both bi- and tri-layer heterostructures formed with MoS2 either supported or encapsulated by graphene. Mechanical properties, such as Young's modulus, bending modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture strain, are extracted from nanoindentation simulations and compared to the monolayer and homogeneous bilayer systems. We observed that the heterostructures, regardless of the stacking order, are mechanically more robust than the mono- and bi-layer MoS2, mainly due to the mechanical reinforcement provided by the graphene layer. The magnitudes of ultimate strength and fracture strain are similar for both the bi- and tri-layer heterostructures, but substantially larger than either the mono- and bi-layer MoS2. Our results demonstrate the potential of graphene-based heterostructures to improve the mechanical properties of TMDC materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Spectroscopic ellipsometry, ranging from 35meV to 6 eV, was used to determine the dielectric functions of a series of molecular beam epitaxy-grown Hg1-xCdxSe thin films deposited on both ZnTe/Si(112) and GaSb(112) substrates. The fundamental band gap as well as two higher-order electronic transitions blue-shift with increasing Cd composition in Hg1-xCdxSe, as expected. Representing the free carrier absorption with a Drude oscillator, we found that the effective masses of Hg1-xCdxSe (grown on ZnTe/Si) vary between 0.028 and 0.050 times the free electron mass, calculated using the values of carrier concentration and the mobility obtained through Hall measurements. Using these effective masses, we determined the carrier concentrations of Hg1-xCdxSe samples grown on GaSb, which is of significance as films grown on such doped-substrates posit ambiguous results when measured by conventional Hall experiments. These models can serve as a basis for monitoring Cd-composition during sample growth through in-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Understanding why military students pursue a master's degree has become more important as the number of military students taking advantage of education benefits through the Post- 911 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 has increased. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how U.S. Army officers attending the Command and General Staff College (CGSC) decided to enroll in a master's degree program. Four research questions guided the study to determine whether and how career requirements, post-military aspirations, family considerations, and previous academic experience influenced the choice to pursue a master's degree. A conceptual framework comprised career development, career decision making, and adult development that provided additional guidance. The study used a case study methodology, and 26 military students participated. Data collection comprised interview and surveys, and data analysis comprised coding with peer review and member checking. The findings affirmed the research questions and identified themes related to self-efficacy, goal setting, persistence, and time management, leading to implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) is the practice of treating the partners of patients with sexually transmitted infections by providing medications for the patient to deliver to his or her sexual partner (s) without direct clinical assessment of the partner(s). EPT is an evidence-based option that can augment existing partner management strategies. For military health care providers, questions still loom as to the pragmatic medical, legal, and ethical uncertainties of EPT use in military populations. These issues, in addition to the absence of an explicit Department of Defense EPT policy may dissuade military clinicians from fully employing EPT to prevent reinfection and inhibit additional disease transmission in their patients. To advance the notion that EPT could not only be an efficient but also a vital measure to decrease the high sexually transmitted disease burden, this report highlights existing approaches utilized by military providers to treat partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea, benefits of using EPT in military populations, and specific challenges of implementing an EPT program. This report asserts that now is the time to “push the conversation” on the use of EPT as a viable choice for military providers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

AB - In the current study, ten participants walked for two hours while carrying no load or a 40 kg load. During the second hour, treadmill grade was manipulated between a constant downhill or changing between flat, uphill, and downhill grades. Throughout the prolonged walk, participants performed two cognitive tasks, an auditory go no/go task and a visual target detection task. The main findings were that the number of false alarms increased over time in the loaded condition relative to the unloaded condition on the go no/go auditory task. There were also shifts in response criterion towards responding yes and decreased sensitivity in responding in the loaded condition compared to the unloaded condition. In the visual target detection there were no reliable effects of load carriage in the overall analysis however, there were slower reaction times in the loaded compared to unloaded condition during the second hour.

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

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

AB - Brutsché, K.E.; Wang, P.; Rosati, J.D., and Beck, T.M., 2015. Evolution of a swash zone berm nourishment and influence of berm elevation on the performance of beach-nearshore nourishments along Perdido Key, Florida, USA. A nourishment was placed within the swash zone along eastern Perdido Key, Florida, in 2011-2012 using maintenance-dredged material from nearby Pensacola Pass, referred to here as a 'swash zone berm nourishment.' The study area was divided into three sections, the swash zone berm project and two adjacent areas to the west and east, and was monitored with time series beach surveys. The performance of the 2011-2012 nourishment with a constructed berm elevation of +0.91m North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88) was compared with two previous nourishments in 1985 and 1989-1991, with +3.0 m NAVD88 and +1.2 m NAVD88 elevations, respectively. The low elevation for the 2011-2012 nourishment allowed natural overwash processes to occur frequently, which resulted in net onshore sediment transport and growth of the active berm. The swash zone berm evolved back to the natural equilibrium profile shape maintained in the study area within 8 months. The high-wave energy conditions associated with the passages of Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricane Isaac accelerated the equilibrium process. Sediment volume gain west of the project area due to longshore spreading of the nourishment occurred mostly in the trough between the shoreline and the bar, rather than on the dry beach. In terms of rate of shoreline retreat, the short 1.2-km 1985 nourishment performed the poorest with a rate of 40 m/y. The long 7.3-km 1989-1991 nourishment performed the best with a retreat rate of 11 m/y. This suggests that high berm elevations do not necessarily lead to better nourishment performance. Instead, longshore extent of a nourishment may dominate project performance. Furthermore, the very high nourishment density of 1550 m3/m did not improve nourishment longevity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Government and industry discussion of the Triple 3 Resilience Target was the focus of the 2014 Cascadia Earthquake Readiness Workshop in Washington, United States. Workshop findings are presented from breakout sessions on critical energy infrastructure, ports and waterways, and emergency management. These prompted the examination of new perspectives on building resilience into lifeline infrastructure systems (lifelines which are critical infrastructure), including a call for new Pacific Northwest regional, collaborative, crosssector public-private leadership groups to develop coordinated restoration priorities, and enacting policies to promote, enforce, and track the building of resilience in complex, interdependent infrastructure systems. Finally, the resilience prism is introduced, which displays the link between critical infrastructure resilience and the Triple 3 Resilience Target to address postdisaster needs for both individuals and communities.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Nitrotriazolone (1,2,4-triazol-5-one; NTO), an insensitive, energetic material used in explosive formulations, induced testicular toxicity and oligospermia in repeated-dose oral toxicity tests in rats. To evaluate whether NTO produces additional reproductive and developmental effects, a modified extended one-generation reproductive toxicity test was conducted. Rats were provided ad libitum access to NTO in drinking water at 0-, 144-, 720-, or 3600-mg/L NTO. Treatment of the parental generation began 2 (females) and 4 (males) wk premating and continued until weaning of litters. Direct dosing of offspring (F1) occurred from weaning through puberty. Pups were counted and weighed on postnatal day (PND) 0/1. Anogenital distance (AGD) was measured on PND 4 and males were examined for presence of nipples on PND 13. F1 offspring were examined daily for attainment of puberty. NTO did not markedly affect measures of fertility, including mating indices, gestation index, litter size, and sex ratio. Seminiferous tubule degeneration or atrophy was observed in P1 and F1 3600-mg/L NTO males. F1 males in the 3600 mg/L group exhibited reduced reproductive organ mass (testes, epididymides, and accessory sex organs). Nipple retention was increased in NTO exposed F1 males compared to controls. Attainment of puberty was delayed by 2.6 d in the 3600-mg/L NTO-exposed males relative to controls. Comparison of the effects of NTO with those of antiandrogens suggests absence of malformations of the genital tract in NTO-exposed males. This study supports previous findings indicating that NTO is a testicular toxicant with male developmental effects that may be secondary to testicular toxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Much attention has been paid to the potential role that climate and food security has on conflict, especially in the Middle East. However, there has been little critical examination beyond the statistical correlation of events, which demonstrates whether a causal link exists and if it does, what can be done about it. This paper explores the conceptual linkages between food and conflict and attempts to draw attention to the opportunity cost of conflict as the nexus for decision-making in this context.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Shape coexistence near closed-shell nuclei, whereby states associated with deformed shapes appear at relatively low excitation energy alongside spherical ones, is indicative of the rapid change in structure that can occur with the addition or removal of a few protons or neutrons. Near 68 Ni ( Z = 28 , N = 40 ), the identification of shape coexistence hinges on hitherto undetermined transition rates to and from low-energy 0 + states. In 68,70 Ni, new lifetimes and branching ratios have been measured. These data enable quantitative descriptions of the 0 + states through the deduced transition rates and serve as sensitive probes for characterizing their nuclear wave functions. The results are compared to, and consistent with, large-scale shell-model calculations which predict shape coexistence. With the firm identification of this phenomenon near 68 Ni, shape coexistence is now observed in all currently accessible regions of the nuclear chart with closed proton shells and mid-shell neutrons.

AB - We report on the incorporation of gold into silicon at a peak concentration of 1.9-1020 at./cm³, four orders of magnitude above the equilibrium solubility limit, using pulsed laser melting of a thin film deposited on the silicon surface. We vary the film thickness and laser process parameters (fluence, number of shots) to quantify the range of concentrations that can be achieved. Our approach achieves gold concentrations comparable to those achieved with ion implantation followed by pulsed laser melting, in a layer with high crystalline quality. This approach offers an attractive alternative to ion implantation for forming high quality, high concentration layers of transition metals like gold in silicon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - La prévalence et les modalités d'utilisation des suppléments alimentaires (« DS ») par les soldats de l'armée américaine diffèrent de la population civile. Les tendances longitudinales d'utilisation des DS par les civils ont été scrutées; on constate cependant l'absence de données concernant les sous-populations telles que les membres du service militaire. Cette étude analyse les variations longitudinales de l'utilisation des DS par les soldats. On a soumis un questionnaire standardisé sur l'utilisation de DS à un échantillon de commodité comprenant 989 soldats en 2006-2007 et 1196 soldats en service actif en 2010-2011. Les données sont pondérées en fonction des variables démographiques de la population entière : âge, sexe et rang. L'utilisation régulière de DS par les soldats augmente significativement (56 ± 1,6 % vs 64 ± 1,7 %; p ≤ 0,001) en 4 ans surtout à cause de l'augmentation de l'utilisation des DS chez les soldats du groupe des 18-24 ans (43,0 ± 2,5 % vs 62,3 ± 2,4 %; p ≤ 0,01). La consommation de protéines et de produits combinés augmente aussi en 4 ans : 22 ± 1,4 % vs 26 ± 1,5 %; p ≤ 0,001 et 10,0 ± 1,0 % vs 24 ± 1,4 %; p ≤ 0,001, respectivement. Durant cette période, on observe aussi une augmentation significative ( p ≤ 0,05) de l'utilisation de vitamines et de minéraux : fer, magnésium, sélénium et vitamines A, B6, B12 et D. En outre, les dépenses reliées aux DS augmentent aussi ( p < 0,01). Les soldats rapportent prendre des DS pour répondre aux exigences professionnelles du service militaire. Il faut développer des interventions éducatives afin de réduire l'utilisation injustifiée des DS chez les soldats, et ce, pour diminuer les effets secondaires causés par l'utilisation inutile des DS et minimiser le fardeau financier associé à leur utilisation.

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

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

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

AB - The ability to efficiently process presuppositions, which contain information that the speaker believes to be in the background to the conversation, is essential for effective communication. To get a deeper understanding of the nature and the time-course of temporal presupposition processing, we examined event-related potential evoked by the wordagainin two types of sentence contexts. The wordagainwas presented in contexts that supported a presupposition (e.g.Jake had tipped a maid at the hotel once before. Today he tipped a maid at the hotel again … ) or violated it (e.g.Jake had never tipped a maid at the hotel before. Today he tipped a maid at the hotel again … ). The presupposition violation was associated with increased amplitudes of the P3b/P600 but not the N400 component. We argue for the centrality of the P3b/P600 component for presupposition processing. These findings demonstrate rapid integration of lexical presuppositions with contextual knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

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

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

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

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

AB - The atypical butyrylcholinesterase (aBuChE) from Oryzias latipes shares approximately 65% sequence similarity to both acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase and was studied for its capacity to spontaneously reactivate following inhibition by organophosphorus nerve agents. Like other cholinesterases, aBuChE was inhibited by all G- and V-type nerve agents. Interestingly, aBuChE was able to undergo spontaneous reactivation after inhibition with VR (t 1/2 = 5.5 ± 0.2 h). Mass spectrometry of aBuChE after VR inhibition confirmed the presence of a covalently bound adduct of the size expected for non-aged VR on the peptide containing the active site serine. To understand the effect of substrate volume on rates of reactivation, the capacity of aBuChE to bind and spontaneously reactivate after inhibition with five V-agent analogues was examined. No appreciable reactivation was detected for enzyme inhibited by V2 (VX with O -isopropyl on retained group), V4 (VX with N -diethyl leaving group termination), or V5 (VX with N -dimethyl leaving group termination). Minimal reactivation was detected with V1 (VX with O -propyl on retained group). Conversely, spontaneous reactivation was observed when aBuChE was inhibited by V3 (VX with O -isobutyl on retained group; t 1/2 = 6.3 ± 0.4 h). The data suggest that the ability of aBuChE to spontaneously reactivate after inhibition by V-agent analogues is related to the structure of the retained group. These results provide structural information that may shed light on the design of improved small molecule reactivators of nerve agent-inhibited acetylcholinesterase or butyrylcholinesterase, and further suggest that re-engineering the active site of a cholinesterase could result in enzymes with clinically relevant rates of nerve agent hydrolysis.

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

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

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

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

AB - In situ measurements of compressional and shear wave speed and attenuation were collected 30 cm below the water-sediment interface in Currituck Sound, North Carolina at two field locations having distinctly different sediment types: medium-to-fine-grained sand and fine-grained sand with approximately 10% mud content. Shear wave measurements were performed with bimorph transducers to generate and receive horizontally polarized shear waves in the 300 Hz to 1 kHz band, and compressional wave measurements were performed using hydrophones operated in the 5 kHz to 100 kHz band. Sediment samples were collected at both measurement sites and later analyzed in the laboratory to characterize the sediment grain size distribution for each field location. Compressional and shear wave speed and attenuation were estimated from the acoustic measurements, and preliminary comparisons to the extended Biot model by Chotiros and Isakson [J. Acoust. Soc. 135, 3264-3279 (2014)] and the viscous grain-shearing theory by Buckingham [J. Acoust. Soc. 136, 2478-2488 (2014)] were performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

AB - Neurocognitive assessment tools (NCAT) are commonly used to screen for changes in cognitive functioning following a mild traumatic brain injury and to assist with a return to duty decision. As such, it is critical to determine if performance on the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) is adversely affected by operationally-relevant field environments. Differences in DANA performance between a thermoneutral environment and three simulated operationally-relevant field environments across the thermal stress continuum were calculated for 16 healthy U.S. Navy service members. Practice effects associated with brief test-retest intervals were calculated within each environmental condition. There were no significant differences between the simulated environmental conditions suggesting that performance on the DANA Brief is not impacted by thermal stress. Additionally, there were no significant differences in performance within each simulated environmental condition associated with repeated administrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

AB - AM2, an airfield matting system made from extruded 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, is used to construct temporary aircraft operating surfaces. This matting system can support heavy aircraft loads even when placed directly over graded in situ soils. This paper presents the development of a test protocol and corresponding relationships that can be used to predict fatigue failure of AM2's mechanical joints over any subgrade California bearing ratio (CBR) when subjected to high tire pressure single-wheel aircraft loading. First, full-scale simulated aircraft traffic experiments were conducted over sections of AM2 installed on subgrades with CBRs of 6, 10, 15, 25, and 100% to monitor subgrade deformation and fatigue failure. An increasing amplitude displacement function developed from a subgrade deformation model was then used to create a new laboratory procedure to simulate fatigue experienced by the matting system's complex mechanical connectors under moving aircraft loads. Laboratory test results had strong correlations with field data and, therefore, have promise for predicting fatigue performance without the expense of full-scale experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - We describe a family of polynomials discovered via a particular recursion relation, which have connections to Chebyshev polynomials of the first and the second kind, and the polynomial version of Pell's equation. Many of their properties are listed in Section 3. We show that these families of polynomials in the variabletsatisfy certain second-order linear differential equations that may be of interest to mathematicians in conformal field theory and number theory. We also prove that these families of polynomials in the setting of Date–Jimbo–Kashiwara–Miwa algebras when multiplied by a suitable power oftare orthogonal with respect to explicitly described kernels. Particular cases lead to new identities of elliptic integrals (see Section 5). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

AB - We derive a dynamical bound on the propagation of correlations in local random quantum circuits-lattice spin systems where piecewise quantum operations-in space and time-occur with classical probabilities. Correlations are quantified by the Frobenius norm of the commutator of two positive operators acting on disjoint regions of a one-dimensional circular chain of length L. For a time $$t=O(L)$$ , correlations spread ballistically to spatial distances $$\mathcal {D}=t$$ , growing at best, diffusively with time for any distance within that radius with extensively suppressed distance- dependent corrections. For $$t=\varOmega (L^2)$$ , all parts of the system get almost equally correlated with exponentially suppressed distance- dependent corrections and approach the maximum amount of correlations that may be established asymptotically.

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

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

Previous research shows military affiliated cadets, especially males, are substantially less approving of women serving in military jobs, especially those involving exposure to direct combat or command positions, than are other college students. The current study extends these findings by considering political ideology in addition to gender and military affiliation, as related to attitudes toward women's roles in the military overall and in combat roles in particular. Survey data from Service Academy cadets (n = 3,116), Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets (n = 1,367), and nonmilitary affiliated college students (n = 2,648), provided measures of whether a woman should or should not be allowed to serve in 9 different military job areas. In addition to overall approval, a scale for combat jobs was created from a subset of 4 of the jobs. Regression analysis indicated that once gender, political party, political position (left/right), and attitudes toward mothers in the workforce overall were controlled, type of college did not add to the prediction of acceptance of women in various military roles. In general, nonmilitary affiliated respondents, women, and those identifying as Democrat offered higher approval scores. Our findings suggest more aggressive programs, designed to educate and socialize these future leaders about women's roles in the military, may require development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - We report a whole-genome analysis of 19 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 isolates from four Ugandan hospitals between 2009 and 2011. The isolates differed from the vaccine strain A/California/07/2009 by three amino acid substitutions P100S, S220T, and I338V in the hemagglutinin and by two amino acid substitutions V106I and N248D in the neuraminidase proteins with consistent mutations in all gene segments distinguishing isolates from the 2009/2010 to 2010/2011 seasons. Phylogenetic analysis showed low genetic evolution, with genetic distances of 0%-1.3% and 0.1%-1.6% for HA and NA genes, respectively. The amino acid substitutions did not lead to antigenic differences from the reference strains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Following damage to the adult nervous system in conditions like stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury, many neurons die and most of the remaining spared neurons fail to regenerate. Injured neurons fail to regrow both because of the inhibitory milieu in which they reside as well as a loss of the intrinsic growth capacity of the neurons. If we are to develop effective therapeutic interventions that promote functional recovery for the devastating injuries described above, we must not only better understand the molecular mechanisms of developmental axonal growth in hopes of re-activating these pathways in the adult, but at the same time be aware that re-activation of adult axonal growth may proceed via distinct mechanisms. With this knowledge in hand, promoting adult regeneration of central nervous system neurons can become a more tractable and realistic therapeutic endeavor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - In this paper, we use the method of Riemann invariants to develop a system of recurrence relations for the one-dimensional elastic impact problem in which a semi-infinite flyer collides with (and adheres to) a stationary Goupillaud-type layered elastic target plate of finite thickness that is bonded to a semi-infinite half-space. We derive explicit expressions for the long-time asymptotes of stress and particle velocity that are independent of the layered target’s elastic properties. This result is verified by numerical simulations of impact into layered targets with periodic or randomly distributed elastic properties, and holds when the half-space backing the target is replaced by either free or fixed boundary conditions. Our discrete recurrence relation solutions for impact into layered media, generalize our recent analytical results concerning impact into homogeneous, single-layer targets, as well as prior discrete recurrence relation solutions for stress wave propagation in Goupillaud-type layered elastic media.

AB - A simple tool is provided to assist researchers in assessing contributions to a scientific publication, for ease in evaluating which contributors qualify for authorship, and in what order the authors should be listed. The tool identifies four phases of activity leading to a publication-Conception and Design, Data Acquisition, Analysis and Interpretation, and Manuscript Preparation. By comparing a project participant's contribution in a given phase to several specified thresholds, a score of up to five points can be assigned; the contributor's scores in all four phases are summed to yield a total 'contribution score', which is compared to a threshold to determine which contributors merit authorship. This tool may be useful in a variety of contexts in which a systematic approach to authorial credit is desired. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The present work incorporates a modified Q-state Monte Carlo (Potts) model to evaluate two-dimensional annealing of representative paramagnetic and diamagnetic polycrystalline materials in the presence of a magnetic field. Anisotropies in grain boundary energy, caused by differences in grain orientation (texturing), and the presence of an external magnetic field are examined in detail. In the former case, the Read-Shockley equations are used, in which grain boundary energies are computed using a low-angle misorientation approximation. In the latter case, magnetic anisotropy is simulated based on the relative orientation between the principal grain axis and the external magnetic field vector. Among other findings, the results of texture development subject to a magnetic field showed an increasing orientation distribution function (ODF) asymmetiy over time, with higher intensities favoring the grains with principal axes most closely aligned with the magnetic field direction. The magnetic field also tended to increase the average grain size, which was accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the total grain boundaiy energy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - An investigation into mechanical properties and amorphization behavior of ultrafine-grained (0.3 lm) boron carbide (B4C) is conducted and compared to a baseline coarse-grained (10 lm) boron carbide. Static and dynamic uniaxial compressive strength, and static and dynamic Vickers indentation hardness were determined, and Raman spectroscopy was then conducted on indented regions to quantify and compare the intensity of amorphization. In relation to coarse-grained B4C the ultrafinegrained material exhibited, on average, a 33% higher static compressive strength, 20% higher dynamic compressive strength, 10% higher static Vickers hardness, and 23% higher dynamic Vickers hardness. In addition, there was an 18% reduction in indentation-induced radial crack length in ultrafine-grained B4C, which corresponded to an increase in estimated fracture toughness. Although traditional coarse-grained B4C exhibits an 8.6% decrease in hardness from the static to dynamic regimes, ultrafine-grained B4C showed only negligible change under similar conditions, suggesting a reduced propensity for amorphization. Raman spectroscopic analysis confirmed this result by revealing significantly lower amorphization intensity in ultrafine-B4C compared to coarse-grained B4C. These results may have significant positive implications in the implementation of ultrafine-grained boron carbide as a material for improved performance in impact and other highpressure applications.

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

AB - Since Ashkin's pioneering work in the 1970's, optical trapping (OT) and manipulation have become an indispensable tool in diverse research fields. Today, there are multiple optical trapping schemes in use. In this article, we explore six different optical trapping schemes based on the photophoretic force (PPF). Within these schemes we explore 21 variants differing in such details as laser source, power, beam shape, and focusing optics.We evaluate and rate the trapping quality and performance of the six trapping schemes in terms of four key aspects: simplicity, robustness, flexibility, and efficiency. One of the schemes is novel: we introduce a simple, high quality scheme using a confocal design in which one trapping beam is effectively converted to two counter-propagating beams. The versatility of this new trapping scheme is demonstrated via application of the scheme to cavity ringdown spectroscopy. We hope this exploration of the diversity of PPF trapping schemes will extend applications of OT by providing researchers with information to assist in the selection of specific optical trapping schemes from the first-of-its-kind list of 21 configurations presented herein.

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

AB - Planar shock wave experiments were performed on 2139-T8 aluminum to determine its response to dynamic loading. A Hugoniot was determined to 12 GPa. Lateral stress measurements along with a study of the release behavior indicate that this material retains its shear strength to at least 8 GPa. Spall strength was measured for ∼1 μs compressive pulse durations and found to be approximately constant at 1.45 GPa up to shock stresses of 10 GPa. Beyond 10 GPa, spall strength decreases considerably. Uniaxial stress compression tests were conducted with a servo-hydraulic load frame and the Kolsky bar method to obtain stress-strain curves at strain-rates from 0.001/s to 85k/s. This data shows the material is rate independent. The shock experiments were simulated using a Lagrangian finite element code using a polynomial equation of state, the Johnson-Cook strength law, and the Cochran and Banner spall model. The ability of the simulations to reproduce the experimentally measured data is mixed, with significant deviations in modeling the plastic wave front, plastic release, and the spall pull-back signals.

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

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

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

AB - Isothermal (700 °C) ultraviolet annealing (UVA) processing of crystallized Ba0.60Sr0.40TiO3 (BST) thin films for exposure times up to 225 min films has been studied. The BST films, grown on PtSi wafers via the metalorganic solution deposition (MOSD) technique, were crystallized via conventional furnace annealing (CFA) prior to UVA treatment, and the effects of UV annealing time on the structural, dielectric, and insulation properties were evaluated. The experimental results demonstrated significantly improved structural, dielectric, and insulation properties for the UVA films. Specifically, lattice parameter contraction (toward that of bulk BST60/40) and a 20% reduction in loss were observed for the UVA treated films with respect to the CFA/control film. Leakage current characteristics were found to be the most sensitive characterization technique to access material property modification as a result of UVA exposure time. Specifically, the 225 min UVA exposure time resulted in a three-order of magnitude reduction in leakage current density compared to the CFA film, and the lowest value observed was 1.06 × 10-7 A/cm2 at E = 300 kV/cm. The useable tunability (tunability value at the maximum acceptable leakage current, 500 pA) was found to be elevated by a factor of two with respect to that of the CFA/control BST film (52.31%/UVA film vs. 18.5%/control film). It is suggested that the improved material properties are due to the mitigation of unwanted oxygen vacancies within the film after UV-annealing. A mechanistic model is presented and discussed.

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

AB - We describe the development of isotropic particle-based coarse-grain models for crystalline hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine (RDX). The coarse graining employs the recently proposed multiscale coarse-graining (MS-CG) method, which is a particle-based force-matching approach for deriving free-energy effective interaction potentials. Though one-site and four-site coarse-grain (CG) models were parameterized from atomistic simulations of non-ordered (molten and ambient temperature amorphous) systems, the focus of the paper is a detailed study of the one-site model with a brief recourse to the four-site model. To improve the ability of the one-site model to be applied to crystalline phases at various pressures, it was found necessary to include explicit dependence on a particle density, and a new theory of local density-dependent MS-CG potentials is subsequently presented. The density-dependency is implemented through interpolation of MS-CG force fields derived at a preselected set of reference densities. The computationally economical procedure for obtaining the reference force fields starting from the interaction at ambient density is also described. The one-site MS-CG model adequately describes the atomistic lattice structure of α-RDX at ambient and high pressures, elastic and vibrational properties, pressure-volume curve up to P = 10 GPa, and the melting temperature. In the molten state, the model reproduces the correct pair structure at different pressures as well as higher order correlations. The potential of the MS-CG model is further evaluated in simulations of shocked crystalline RDX [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - The mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes such as low density, high stiffness, and exceptional strength make them ideal candidates for reinforcement material in a wide range of high-performance composites. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to predict the tensile response of fibers composed of aligned carbon nanotubes with intermolecular bonds of interstitial carbon atoms. The effects of bond density and carbon nanotube length distribution on fiber strength and stiffness are investigated. The interstitial carbon bonds significantly increase load transfer between the carbon nanotubes over that obtained with van der Waals forces. The simulation results indicate that fibers with tensile strengths to 60 GPa could be produced by employing interstitial cross-link atoms. The elastic modulus of the fibers is also increased by the bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Manning's n values for open channel (river) flow have been studied by hydraulic engineers since the late 19th century, and a rich literature exists on the topic including large-scale laboratory experiments and actual field measurements. Both river flood models and shallow water equation tsunami inundation models incorporate the importance of varying equivalent roughness values with the large-scale roughness elements present for different land use types. However, many tsunami models (especially in Japan) use n values based on a very limited set of small-scale model laboratory experiments with inappropriate Reynolds and Weber numbers, instead of using Manning's n values from the open channel flow literature. Due to this, equivalent Manning's n values for vegetated and urban areas in these tsunami inundation models are too small, causing the mitigating effect of forests and urban regions to be underestimated. This paper presents a review of Manning's n research applied to both river flood and tsunami inundation models, and suggests values to improve the reliability of the latter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - A common practice in sports science is to assess hydration status using the concentration of a single spot urine collection taken at any time of day for comparison against concentration (specific gravity, osmolality, color) thresholds established from first morning voids. There is strong evidence that this practice can be confounded by fluid intake, diet, and exercise, among other factors, leading to false positive/negative assessments. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to provide a simple explanation as to why this practice leads to erroneous conclusions and should be curtailed in favor of consensus hydration assessment recommendations.

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

AB - This study examined the neurocognitive performance of U.S. military personnel completing the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (version 4) TBI Military (ANAM4 TBI-MIL) battery as part of the Department of Defense Neurocognitive Functional Assessment Program. Descriptive analyses utilizing the ANAM4TBI Military Performance Database were performed. We examined ANAM Composite Score (ACS) differences between five injury subgroups (no injury, brain injury with current symptoms, brain injury without current symptoms, nonbrain injury with current symptoms, and nonbrain injury without current symptoms) using general linear mixed modeling. Almost 11% (70,472/641,285) reported brain injury in the 4 years before assessment. The ACS differed significantly by injury group (p < 0.0001). In comparison to the no injury group, those reporting brain injury with current symptoms (d = -0.44) and nonbrain injury with current symptoms (d = -0.24) demonstrated significantly reduced ACS scores (p < 0.0001) indicative of reduced neurocognitive proficiency. In this population-based study of U.S. military personnel, neurocognitive performance was significantly associated with reported injury within the past 4 years among those experiencing current symptoms. Occupational programs focusing on prospective brain health of injured population groups are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - As part of the international response to control the recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the Department of Defense has deployed military personnel to train Liberians to manage the disease and build treatment units and a hospital for health care volunteers. These steps have assisted in providing a robust medical system and augment Ebola diagnostic capability within the affected nations. In order to prepare for the deployment of U.S. military personnel, the infectious disease risks of the regions must be determined. This evaluation allows for the establishment of appropriate force health protection posture for personnel while deployed, as well as management plans for illnesses presenting after redeployment. Our objective was to detail the epidemiology and infectious disease risks for military personnel in West Africa, particularly for Liberia, along with lessons learned from prior deployments.

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

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

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

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

AB - The role of a highly crystalline and oriented lead titanate ( PTO) seed layer on the subsequent phase and texture evolution of lead zirconate titanate ( PZT) thin films is investigated in situ using X-ray diffraction ( XRD) during crystallization. Crystalline PTO seed layers were first prepared via a 2-methoxyethanol route. Amorphous PZT with a Zr/Ti ratio of 52/48 was then deposited on the seed layer using the same synthesis route and subsequently crystallized in situ during XRD. During heating, a tetragonal-to-cubic transformation of the seed layer occurs prior to the formation of perovskite PZT. Subsequent nucleation of the crystalline PZT occurs in the cubic phase. Simultaneous to nucleation of PZT, development of a dominant 100 texture component was observed in the PZT phase of the thin films. The results indicate that 100 textured PTO nucleates 100 texture of PZT thin films during crystallization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - We experimentally demonstrate efficient third harmonic generation from an indium tin oxide nanofilm (λ/42 thick) on a glass substrate for a pump wavelength of 1.4 μm. A conversion efficiency of 3.3 × 10-6 is achieved by exploiting the field enhancement properties of the epsilon-near-zero mode with an enhancement factor of 200. This nanoscale frequency conversion method is applicable to other plasmonic materials and reststrahlen materials in proximity of the longitudinal optical phonon frequencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Species reintroductions are common among threatened and endangered species; however, nongame species are typically not the target of reintroduction efforts. In 2008, we reintroduced a common nongame species, blacknose dace (Rhinichthys atratulus), into a previously acidified headwater stream, Mountain Run, in Rockingham County, Virginia. Acidic conditions extirpated species from Mountain Run's headwaters by the 1970s, and brook trout reintroductions subsequent to acid mitigation were highly successful; however, attempts to reintroduce blacknose dace alongside brook trout in 1994'1995 were unsuccessful. In 2008, we collected 1,500 blacknose dace from approximately two kilometers (km) downstream of our study reach and released fish at three locations within our 1.45 km study reach. Fish were marked prior to release and recaptured via backpack electrofishing one month and twelve months post transplant to enumerate fish and document dispersal from release sites and spawning success. Blacknose dace dispersed up to 680 meters downstream from release sites one month post transplant. In 2009, one young-of- year and thirty-three adults were collected. Our effort was mildly successful, but we recommend greater attention to existing physicochemical habitat and food sources and establishing a long-term monitoring protocol prior to expending resources on a reintroduction effort.

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

AB - After World War II ended in 1945, U.S. Army intelligence agencies, especially the Counter Intelligence Corps, recruited former Nazi officials, war crimes suspects, and war criminals to collect information on communist party and Soviet activities in Europe. While studies have examined individual cases, this article seeks to establish the historical context of the early Cold War that set the framework for this intelligence exploitation. It also weighs the intelligence value of the Army's Nazi informants and reviews recruitment by other American and Allied intelligence services. Finally, it discusses the challenges of using ethical guidelines in recruiting secret agents, during the early Cold War and beyond. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - This article presents a framework for integrating a regional geographic information system ( GIS)-based nitrogen dataset (Texas Anthropogenic Nitrogen Dataset, TX- ANB) and a GIS-based river routing model (Routing Application for Parallel computation of Discharge) to simulate steady-state riverine total nitrogen ( TN) transport in river networks containing thousands of reaches. A two-year case study was conducted in the San Antonio and Guadalupe basins during dry and wet years (2008 and 2009, respectively). This article investigates TN export in urbanized (San Antonio) vs. rural (Guadalupe) drainage basins and considers the effect of reservoirs on TN transport. Simulated TN export values are within 10 percent of measured export values for selected stations in 2008 and 2009. Results show that in both years the San Antonio basin contributed a larger quantity than the Guadalupe basin of delivered TN to the coastal ocean. The San Antonio basin is affected by urban activities including point sources, associated with the city of San Antonio, in addition to greater agricultural activities. The Guadalupe basin lacks major metropolitan areas and is dominated by rangeland, rather than fertilized agricultural fields. Both basins delivered more TN to coastal waters in 2009 than in 2008. Furthermore, TN removal in the San Antonio and Guadalupe basins is inversely related to stream orders: the higher the order the more TN delivery (or the less TN removal). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Large-scale water resources systems are often managed by an integrated set of hydraulic structures that are vulnerable to wider ranges of discharge and tailwater elevation than envisioned in their original design due to climate change and additional project objectives such as fostering healthy ecosystems. The present physical model study explored the performance of a spillway structure on the Kissimmee River, operated by the South Florida Water Management District, under extreme conditions of drought and flooding with accompanying low and high tailwater levels for both gate-controlled and uncontrolled spillway flow conditions. Maximum scour depths and their locations for two different riprap apron lengths downstream of the spillway stilling basin were measured along with the complex flow fields prior to scour. Effects of tailwater submergence, type of spillway flow and riprap apron length on scour results are interpreted in terms of the measured turbulent kinetic energy and velocity distributions near the bed.

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

AB - A U.S. soldier at a forward operating base (FOB) watches a high definition camera feed. On it, he sees a man in civilian clothing digging a hole in the road and emplacing an improvised explosive device (IED). The road is approximately eight kilometers from the FOB and there are no U.S. or coalition soldiers nearby. The soldier notifies his commander, who calls for an attack helicopter. By the time the helicopter arrives, the man has finished emplacing the IED. has mounted his motorcycle, and has traveled three kilometers from the IED site. His actions and movements have been tracked the entire time on camera. The helicopter pilot informs the commander that although there are no collateral damage concerns in the area, the man bears no visible weapons and does not appear to be doing anything threatening. The commander clears the pilot to engage the man with deadly force. The pilot, unsure if this is legal, asks the commander to state the engagement authority on the recorded audio. The commander hesitates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Laser refractive surgery, involving the computer-controlled application of a 193-nm beam of excimer laser “light,” is utilized to resculpt the central cornea, thus reducing its apical thickness. On casual inspection, this simple matter of removing or excising a specific amount of central corneal avascular tissue is a smooth, seamless alteration with few apparent secondary issues or sequelae. Normal postoperative recovery is typically gauged by the recovery of high-contrast visual acuity to the same (or better) degree as was previously obtained with a spectacle correction. However, although this is an acceptable means of determining operative success, it is not indicative of the complex challenges imposed upon the neurosensory system. The secondarily imposed strain upon the visual system, regarding the return to its pre-existing visual line-of-sight organization occurs only by bringing multiple adaptations into subtle and seamless play. This process is initiated and completed in a relatively short time period, such that most patients (but not all) are not even marginally aware of the challenges imposed to the visual system. This article is meant to probe those system challenges, serving to highlight this postoperative plasticity, seeking to gain a broader understanding and appreciation of the perceptual range of the visual recovery process.

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

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

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

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

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

AB - The Joint Combat Casualty Research Team (JC2RT) is part of the human research protection regulatory system implemented in 2005 to oversee the conduct of research in a deployed military combatant command. In 2010, SharePoint, a web-based tool, was established to track study documents. This study conducted by JC2RT no. 13 describes characteristics of research studies under the purview of the JC2RT from 2010 through 2012. Of the 83 research studies reviewed, 34% were completed, 32% were not completed, and 34% were still in progress. Target sample sizes ranged from 12 to 70,000, with 96% of the research studying U.S. military members. The design of 61% of the studies was prospective, 20% surveys, and 14% retrospective reviews. Approximately one-half of the studies were conducted at single sites. Eighty-four percent of the studies that finished an institutional review board (IRB) were completed, whereas a large number of studies never made it to IRB approval. Even after studies have gone through the rigorous process of scientific review and IRB approval some continue to struggle for years to be completed in the theater of operations. The JC2RT is committed to helping facilitate the ethical conduct of research during war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - As concerns rise over potential effects of greenhouse gas related climate change on terrestrial ecosystems, forest managers require growth and yield modeling capabilities responsive to changing climate conditions. Our goal was to develop prediction models of site index for eastern US forest tree species with climate and soil properties as predictors for use in predicting potential responses of forest productivity to climate change. Species-specific site index data from the USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program were linked to contemporary climate data and soil properties mapped in the USDA Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database. Random forest regression tree based ensemble prediction models of site index were constructed based on 37 climate-related and 15 soil attributes. In addition to a species-specific site index, aggregate models were developed for species grouped into two broad categories: conifer (softwood) and hardwood (broadleaved) species groups. Species-specific models based on climate and soil predictors explained the most variation in site index of any models tested ( R2 = 62.5%, RMSE = 3.2 m). Comparable results were found when grouping species into conifer and hardwood groups ( R2 = 63.9%, RMSE = 4.6 m for conifers; R2 = 35.9%, RMSE = 4.2 m for hardwoods). Model predictions based on multiple global circulation models (GCMs) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) development scenarios were tested for statistical significance using bootstrap resampling methods. Results showed significant increases over the 21st century in mean site index for conifers between +0.5 and +2.4 m. Over the same time period, mean hardwood site index showed decreases of as much as −1.7 m for the scenarios tested. The results demonstrate the utility of using climate and soils data in predicting site index across a large geographic region, and the potential of climate change to alter forest productivity in the eastern US. Additional investigation is needed to interpret spatial patterns and ecological relationships related to predictions from this type of model. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - À cause des préoccupations croissantes au sujet des effets potentiels des changements climatiques liés aux gaz à effet de serre sur les écosystèmes terrestres, les aménagistes forestiers ont besoin de modèles de croissance et de production capables de tenir compte des conditions engendrées par les changements climatiques. Notre but était de mettre au point des modèles de prévision de l'indice de qualité de station pour les espèces d'arbre des forêts de l'est des États-Unis avec le climat et les propriétés du sol comme variables de prédiction pour prévoir les réactions potentielles de la production forestière face aux changements climatiques. Les données d'indice de qualité de station de chaque espèce provenant du programme d'analyse et d'inventaire forestier de l'USDA Forest Service ont été jumelées aux données du climat contemporain et aux propriétés du sol cartographiées dans la base de données SSURGO de l'inventaire géographique des sols de l'USDA. Des modèles d'ensemble de forêts aléatoires fondés sur des arbres de régression ont été construits à l'aide de 37 attributs reliés au climat et 15 attributs reliés au sol pour prévoir l'indice de qualité de station. En plus de l'indice de qualité de station pour chaque espèce, des modèles globaux ont été mis au point pour deux grandes catégories d'espèces, les conifères et les feuillus. Parmi les modèles testés, les modèles pour chaque espèce fondés sur les prédicteurs du climat et du sol ont expliqué la plus grande partie de la variation de l'indice de qualité de station ( R2 = 62,5 %, EMQ = 3,2 m). Des résultats comparables ont été obtenus lorsque les espèces étaient regroupées en conifères ou feuillus ( R2 = 63,9 %, EMQ = 4,6 m pour les conifères; R2 = 35,9 %, EMQ = 4,2 m pour les feuillus). La signification statistique des prévisions des modèles basés sur les modèles de circulation globale multiple et les scénarios du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat a été testée à l'aide de méthodes de rééchantillonnage avec autoamorçage. Selon les résultats, l'indice de qualité de station moyen des conifères connaîtrait au cours du 21e siècle des augmentations significatives variant de 0,5 à 2,4 m. Pendant la même période, l'indice de qualité de station moyen des feuillus subirait une diminution pouvant aller jusqu'à 1,7 m selon les scénarios testés. Les résultats démontrent l'utilité d'utiliser des données sur le climat et le sol pour prévoir l'indice de qualité de station dans une grande région géographique et le potentiel des changements climatiques pour modifier la productivité des forêts de l'est des États-Unis. Des études supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour interpréter les patrons spatiaux et les relations écologiques associés aux prévisions de ce type de modèle.

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

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

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

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

AB - This manuscript addresses the design, hardware details, construction, and programming of an apparatus allowing an experimenter to monitor and record high-temperature thermocouple measurements of dynamic systems in real time. The apparatus uses wireless network technology to bridge the gap between a dynamic (moving) sample frame and the static laboratory frame. Our design is a custom solution applied to samples that rotate through large angular displacements where hard-wired and typical slip-ring solutions are not practical because of noise considerations. The apparatus consists of a Raspberry PI mini-Linux computer, an Arduino micro-controller, an Ocean Controls thermocouple multiplexer shield, and κ-type thermocouples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - The Continental Army entrusted many of its junior officers with a great degree of responsibility and autonomy. Captain Henry Lee's role in commanding a vital foraging operation in Delaware and Maryland for the Main Army at Valley Forge in February and March 1778 sheds light on the role of a company-grade officer within the broader framework of petite guerre. Lee demonstrated his ability at planning and executing autonomous operations and proved himself a capable, thoughtful, and energetic officer in an important, but overlooked expedition that reveals something of the important operational middle ground occupied by American company-grade light officers.

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

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

AB - This article reevaluates Shakespeare's sonnets 153 and 154 within the context of the 1609 Quarto, suggesting that only one of these anacreontics properly belongs to the sequence. The article first considers other moments of unintentional repetition in Shakespeare's corpus to provide evidence that Shakespeare's manuscript cancellations may have been overlooked by printers. Using 1) the bibliographic features of the Quarto, 2) Sonnet 153's thematic and formal linkages to the preceding sequence, and 3) the aptness of 153 rather than 154 as a bridge to A Lover's Complaint, the article argues that Shakespeare's likely cancellation of 154 was ignored in Eld's print shop for convenience or aesthetic concerns. While we may never know what shape Shakespeare's Sonnets took in manuscript, this article reclaims 153 as an important conclusion to the sequence, challenging a tradition of criticism in which the curious doubling of these two sonnets has often removed them from serious consideration.

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

AB - Modeling systems that are not inherently isotropic, e.g., extended bilayers, using molecular simulation techniques poses a potential problem. Since these methods rely on a finite number of atoms and molecules to describe the system, periodic boundary conditions are implemented to avoid edge effects and capture long-range electrostatic interactions. Systems consisting of a solvated bilayer adsorbed on a solid surface and exposed to an air/vacuum interface occur in many experimental settings and present some unique challenges in this respect. Here, we investigated the effects of implementing different electrostatic boundary conditions on the structural and electrostatic properties of a quartz/water/vacuum interface and a similar quartz-supported hydrated lipid bilayer exposed to vacuum. Since these interfacial systems have a net polarization, implementing the standard Ewald summation with the conducting boundary condition for the electrostatic long-range interactions introduced an artificial periodicity in the out-of-plane dimension. In particular, abnormal orientational polarizations of water were observed with the conducting boundary condition. Implementing the Ewald summation technique with the planar vacuum boundary condition and calculating electrostatic properties compatible with the implemented electrostatic boundary condition removed these inconsistencies. This formulation is generally applicable to similar interfacial systems in bulk solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - We employ electroless etching to disperse silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers in ionic silver HF into wirelike silicon nanostructures. The procedure allows detachment of the nanowires at the oxide interface and enables easy recovery of dispersions for subsequent controlled delivery. Nanowires 10 μm long and 50-100 nm thick are demonstrated using an SOI substrate of 10 μm device thickness. Direct material analysis shows no silver contamination after a wet-etch silver clean. Anodization treatment of the wires was conducted. Our measurements and analysis show that the wires are not amenable to anodization resulting from the fact that the nanowire radius is less than the thickness of depletion layer. The procedure has the potential of providing dispersions of arbitrarily long wirelike nanostructures which are useful for composite and energy applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - A nonlinear thermodynamic model is used to investigate the influence of thermal stresses on the room temperature (RT) pyroelectric properties of (001)-textured polycrystalline barium strontium titanate (BaxSr1-xTiO3, BST) films with four different compositions on three integrated circuit-friendly substrates: Si, (0001) and (1120) sapphire. It is found that the in-plane tensile thermal strain in BST increases with increasing deposition/processing temperature TG due to the difference of thermal expansion coefficients between the BST film and the selected substrate materials. Considering the variations in the ferroelectric phase transformation due to thermal strains, our findings show that relatively lower processing temperatures would result in better pyroelectric response. For BST 60/40 and 70/30 on all the substrates, the film is in the paraelectric state for TG=25-800 °C and the pyroelectric response is due to the interplay of the electric field and thermal strain dependence of the dielectric constant and the TG-dependence of the thermal strains. While the RT pyroelectric response of these films is expected to be relatively low (0.02-0.05 μC/cm2 K at ∼200 kV/cm), at high applied fields the pyroelectric properties do not display a significant dependence on the temperature at which the material was treated. On the other hand, BST 80/20 and BST 90/10 films may be in the ferroelectric state at RT depending on TG. If TG can be adjusted such that the ferroelectric phase transformation is near RT, a relatively high bulklike pyroelectric response (>0.5-1.0 μC/cm2 K) can be realized. However, the pyroelectric coefficient decreases sharply above and below these 'critical' TG, and thus a precise temperature control during processing would be required. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We present structural, optical, and transport characterization of long wave infrared hot electron transistor (IHET) based on doped quantum wells of InGaAs/AlGaAs. The atomic resolution images and x-ray diffraction patterns verified a lattice matched and band-gap engineered device structure of IHET. Measured values of the photocurrent were less than the theoretically expected values and indicated a loss of photocurrent between the base of the IHET and the collector. A higher filter height due to high unexpected dopant in the filter barrier was suggested as a possible cause of the current loss. Photoluminescence data in the near infrared showed the existence of such a dopant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Topographically flat, single crystal silicon supersaturated with the chalcogens S, Se, and Te was prepared by ion implantation followed by pulsed laser melting and rapid solidification. The influences of the number of laser shots on the atomic and carrier concentration-depth profiles were measured with secondary ion mass spectrometry and spreading resistance profiling, respectively. We found good agreement between the atomic concentration-depth profiles obtained from experiments and a one-dimensional model for plane-front melting, solidification, liquid-phase diffusion, with kinetic solute trapping, and surface evaporation. Broadband subband gap absorption is exhibited by all dopants over a wavelength range from 1 to 2.5 microns. The absorption did not change appreciably with increasing number of laser shots, despite a measurable loss of chalcogen and of electronic carriers after each shot. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - The use of LiCoPO 4 as a Li-ion cathode material can enable high energy 5 V batteries. However, LiCoPO 4 shows limited cycle life and much less than theoretical energy density. In order to address these shortcomings, Fe, Cr and Si substituted-LiCoPO 4 ( Cr,Si-LiCo 0.9 Fe 0.1 PO 4 ) was investigated as an improved LiCoPO 4 based cathode material. Fe substitution greatly improves the cycle life and increases the energy density. Cr substitution further increases the energy density, cycle life and rate capability. Si substitution reduces the reactivity of the cathode with electrolyte thereby increasing cycle life. In combination, the substituents lead to a LiCoPO 4 based cathode material with no capacity fade over 250 cycles in Li/Cr,Si-LiCo 0.9 Fe 0.1 PO 4 half cells, a discharge capacity of 140 mAh g −1 at C/3 at an average discharge voltage of 4.78 V giving an energy density of 670 Wh per kg of cathode. In graphite/Cr,Si-LiCo 0.9 Fe 0.1 PO 4 full Li-ion cells, the cathode material shows an energy density of 550 Wh per kg of cathode material at 1C rate for the initial cycles and 510 Wh per kg of cathode material at the 250th cycle.

AB - Mucormycosis fungemia is rarely documented since blood cultures are nearly always negative. We describe a case of Mucor circinelloides fungemia in a patient with a history of a sinus infection, sarcoidosis, and IgG deficiency. The identity of the isolate was supported by its microscopic morphology and its ability to convert into yeast forms under anaerobic conditions. The early detection, initiation of liposomal amphotericin B treatment, and reversal of underlying predisposing risk factors resulted in a good outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Ahmed Necmeddin Bey was the kaimakam (district governor) of Aintab in late July 1908. One day, however, Ahmed Necmeddin Bey was beaten by a group of Turks and Armenians in Aintab; his clothes torn, he was dismissed from his post and finally expelled him from the city. But what was the reason for this incident? Within the first year of the declaration of the Constitution, it was the most important event that occurred in the city. This particular incident calls for careful examination, for this significant event reflects how the Second Constitutional era and the new regime were perceived by Muslims and Armenians in Aintab on a local level. Additionally, it offers us some useful clues regarding how the Union and Progress Party as a political organization and its policies were received on a local scale. By studying this case, it is also possible to see a clear example of how ordinary Ottoman citizens reacted towards the revival of the Constitution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Transition-metal hydride radical cations (TMHRCs) are involved in a variety of chemical and biochemical reactions, making a more thorough understanding of their properties essential for explaining observed reactivity and for the eventual development of new applications. Generally, these species may be treated as the ones formed by one-electron oxidation of diamagnetic analogues that are neutral or cationic. Despite the importance of TMHRCs, the generally sensitive nature of these complexes has hindered their development. However, over the last four decades, many more TMHRCs have been synthesized, characterized, isolated, or hypothesized as reaction intermediates. This comprehensive review focuses on experimental studies of TMHRCs reported through the year 2014, with an emphasis on isolated and observed species. The methods used for the generation or synthesis of TMHRCs are surveyed, followed by a discussion about the stability of these complexes. The fundamental properties of TMHRCs, especially those pertaining to the Mâ€"H bond, are described, followed by a detailed treatment of decomposition pathways. Finally, reactions involving TMHRCs as intermediates are described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - Objective: This paper provides an overview of our study that was designed to assess the health impact of environmental exposures to open pit burning in deployed troops. Methods: The rationale for the study and the structure of the research plan was laid out. An overview of each article in the supplement was provided. The cohort of deployed Service members was assessed for airborne exposure, relevant biomarkers, and health outcomes following deployment to Balad, Iraq, and/or Bagram, Afghanistan. Results: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposures were elevated, and serum biomarkers were statistically different posldeployment. Associations were noted between PAHs and dioxins and microRNAs. Some health outcomes were evident in deployers compared with nondeployers. Conclusions: Future research will examine the associations between demographic variables, smoking status, biomarker levels, and related health outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - This work introduces an innovative technique to characterize the internal morphology of high-performance fibers by using a focused ion beam (FIB) sample preparation method and subsequent atomic force microscopy (AFM). A FIB is used to mill opposing notches that facilitate direct failure along a longitudinal shear plane, and expose the internal surface of the fiber. By exposing this surface via longitudinal shear, distortion of the cleaved surface is minimal, which is an advantage over surface preparation methods such as microtoming. After cleaving the notched fibers, an AFM technique is used to generate modulus maps of the fiber fracture surfaces.

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

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

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

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

AB - We report on the performance of brominated poly( N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP-Br), brominated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-Br), and brominated poly(allylamine-co-4-aminopyridine) (PAAm-APy-Br) for their ability to decontaminate Bacillus anthracis Sterne spores in solution while also allowing for the sensing of the spores. The polymers were brominated by bromine using carbon tetrachloride or potassium tribromide as solvents, with bromine loadings ranging from 1.6 to 4.2 mEq/g of polymer. B. anthracis Sterne spores were exposed to increasing concentrations of brominated polymers for 5 min, while the kinetics of the sporicidal activity was assessed. All brominated polymers demonstrated spore log-kills of 8 within 5 min of exposure at 12 mg/mL aqueous polymer concentration. Sensing of spores was accomplished by measuring the release of dipicolinic acid (DPA) from the spore using time-resolved fluorescence. Parent, non-brominated polymers did not cause any release of DPA and the spores remained viable. In contrast, spores exposed to the brominated polymers were inactivated and the release of DPA was observed within minutes of exposure. Also, this release of DPA continued for a long time after spore inactivation as in a controlled release process. The DPA release was more pronounced for spores exposed to brominated PVP and brominated PEG-8000 compared to brominated PAAm-APy and brominated PEG-400. Using time-resolved fluorescence, we detected as low as 2500 B. anthracis spores, with PEG-8000 being more sensitive to low spore numbers. Our results suggest that the brominated polymers may be used effectively as decontamination agents against bacterial spores while also providing the sensing capability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - The number and types of memory projects in Vietnam have proliferated rapidly since the mid-1990s. These projects, most of them intensely local in focus, reconfigure selective aspects of different "pasts" for strategic use in the present. Government- approved memory projects exhibit similar patterns. However, some of them openly diverge from official narratives of patriotic resistance. The project featured in this essay--the creation of an archive to document the Great Famine (1944-45) by a joint Vietnamese-Japanese research commission--is such an example. Close attention to the methodological procedures used to assemble this archive, which is highly unorthodox in form and content, provides insights into how historical evidence is fashioned rather than found in the Vietnamese context. The details reveal partial silences in four thematic areas: (1) the allocation of blame, (2) the suppression of sentiment in oral form, (3) the depersonalization of suffering in visual form, and (4) the comparative absence of organized resistance. Close attention to these elisions explains why the Great Famine and the hungry ghosts it produced continue to resist incorporation into state-approved histories of the "exceptional dead," who sacrificed their lives to defend the "nation" from foreign aggressors.

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - This paper develops an experimentally calibrated and validated 3D finite element model for simulating strain-rate dependent deformation and damage behavior in representative volume elements of S-glass fiber reinforced epoxy-matrix composites. The fiber and matrix phases in the model are assumed to be elastic with their interfaces represented by potential-based and non-potential, rate-dependent cohesive zone models. Damage, leading to failure, in the fiber and matrix phases is modeled by a rate-dependent non-local scalar CDM model. The interface and damage models are calibrated using experimental results available in the literature, as well as from those conducted in this work. A limited number of tests are conducted with a cruciform specimen that is fabricated to characterize interfacial damage behavior. Validation studies are subsequently conducted by comparing results of FEM simulations with cruciform and from micro-droplet experiments. Sensitivity analyses are conducted to investigate the effect of mesh, material parameters and strain rate on the evolution of damage. Furthermore, their effect on partitions of the overall energy are also explored. Finally the paper examines the effect of microstructural morphology on the evolution of damage and its path.

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

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

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

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

AB - Detailed microstructural characterization was carried out on a commercial-grade hot-pressed boron carbide armor plate. The boron carbide grains have close to B4C stoichiometry, and most of them have no planar defects. The most prominent second phase is intergranular graphite inclusions that are surrounded by multiple boron carbide grains. Submicrometer intragranular and intergranular BN and AlN precipitates were also observed. In addition, fine dispersions of AlN nanoprecipitates were observed in some but not all grains. No intergranular films were found. These microstructural characteristics are compared with the lab-consolidated boron carbide and their effects on the mechanical properties of boron carbide are addressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Two-dimensional (2D) materials can uniquely span the physical dimensions of a surrounding compositematrix in the limit ofmaximum reinforcement. However, the alignment and assembly of continuous 2D components at high volume fraction remain challenging.We use a stacking and folding method to generate aligned graphene/polycarbonate composites with as many as 320 parallel layers spanning 0.032 to 0.11millimeters in thickness that significantly increases the effective elasticmodulus and strength at exceptionally lowvolume fractions of only 0.082%. An analogous transverse shear scrolling method generates Archimedean spiral fibers that demonstrate exotic, telescoping elongation at break of 110%, or 30 times greater than Kevlar. Both composites retain anisotropic electrical conduction along the graphene planar axis and transparency.These composites promise substantial mechanical reinforcement, electrical, and optical properties at highly reduced volume fraction.

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

AB - In this work, the effects of Mn on lattice parameter, electron work function (EWF), bonding charge density, and hardness of nanocrystalline Al Mn non-equilibrium solid solutions are investigated. We show how the enhancement of the EWF contributes to the observed improvement of the hardness of Al Mn solid solutions. It is understood that the physical mechanisms responsible in our model, using the EWF coupled with a power law scaled hardness, are attributed to the redistribution of electrons caused by the presence of Mn solute atoms, supporting an atomic and electronic basis for the coupling of solid solution and grain refinement strengthening mechanisms.

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

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

AB - Immobilized enzymes typically have greater thermal and operational stability than their soluble form. Here we report that for the first time, a nerve agent detoxifying enzyme, organophosphorus acid anhydrolase (OPAA), has been successfully encapsulated into a water-stable zirconium metal-organic framework (MOF). This MOF features a hierarchical mesoporous channel structure and exhibits a 12 wt % loading capacity of OPAA. The thermal and long-term stabilities of OPAA are both significantly enhanced after immobilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A single absorbing particle formed by carbon nanotubes in the size range of 10-50 μm is trapped in air by a laser trapping beam and concurrently illuminated by another laser manipulating beam. When the trapping beam is terminated, the movement of the particle controlled by the manipulating beam is investigated. We report our observations of light-controlled pushing and pulling motions. We show that the movement direction has little relationship with the particle size and manipulating beam's parameters but is dominated by the particle's orientation and morphology. With this observation, the controllable optical manipulation is now able to be generalized to arbitrary particles, including irregularly shaped absorbing particles that are shown in this work.

AB - This article addresses what we owe to the civilians of a state with which we are militarily engaged. The old notion of noncombatant immunity needs to be rethought within the context of both human rights and into the postwar phase.No doubt, civilians will be killed in war. However, much more can be done during and after the fighting to protect civilians’ basic human rights from the ills of war. I argue for making belligerents accountableex postby requiring them to repair destroyed dual-purpose facilities that are essential for securing basic human rights of the civilian populace. I argue also that a belligerent’s targeting decisions should be reviewedex postby an impartial commission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Initiated by the Department of Defense (DOD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), the Data Analysis and Assessment Center (DAAC), serves the needs of DOD HPCMP scientists by facilitating the analysis of an ever-increasing volume and complexity of data [1] . A research scientist and HPCMP user ran nanoscale molecular dynamics simulations using Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator code (LAMMPS) from Sandia National Labs. The largest simulation contained over 70 million atoms ( Fig. 7 ). Data sets this large are required to study crack propagation and failure mechanisms that span multiple length scales with atomic resolution. The DAAC developed new methods to visualize the time evolution of data sets this large. The size and complexity of the molecular dynamics simulations and the analytics required the use of DOD HPCMP High Performance Computing (HPC) resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - The roll damping and Magnus dynamic stability coefficients, as well as total force and moment coefficients, were numerically computed at high angles of attack up to 90 deg for two generic fin-stabilized flight munitions at a supersonic Mach number of 2.49. The aerodynamic coefficients were computed via time-accurate Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes numerical methods, and they were compared with archival wind-tunnel data. Fair to excellent comparisons with the experiment were obtained for the coefficients for the full angle-of-attack range, except for the axial force, which was overpredicted at higher angles of attack. Numerical modeling parameter studies were conducted to include dependence on spin rate, grid resolution, temporal resolution, and other numerical convergence parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - Handheld Raman systems have become powerful analytical tools for the detection and identification of hazardous chemical materials that are now commonly used by both the civilian and military communities. Due to the availability of compact lasers and sensitive detectors, systems typically operate at 785 nm. However, the Raman return at this wavelength can still be obscured by fluorescent impurities in the targeted materials or their matrices. To potentially mitigate this shortcoming, a prototype dual-wavelength Raman incorporating both 785- and 1064-nm excitations was developed and assessed at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center. The results of that evaluation are discussed here. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - ABSTRACT Using the National Hurricane Center's best track data, pressure-wind relationships within tropical cyclones are examined for 35 years in the North Atlantic Ocean and 26 years in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. In both ocean basins, statistically significant temporal trends exist, suggesting that storms of equal pressure have lower wind speeds today than in the past. Likewise, storms of equal wind speed have lower pressures today. Strong temporal changes in pressure-wind relationships exist among a wide range of storm strengths in the Atlantic but only for weaker storms in the Pacific. An examination of surface pressure anomalies across the two ocean basins reveals that a shifting pressure gradient is likely responsible for these observations, possibly due to macroscale pattern changes such as the North Atlantic Oscillation.

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

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

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

AB - Environmental sciences have an important role in informing sustainable management of built environments by providing insights about the drivers and potentially negative impacts of global environmental change. Here, we discuss panarchy theory, a multi-scale hierarchical concept that accounts for the dynamism of complex socio-ecological systems, especially for those systems with strong cross-scale feedbacks. The idea of panarchy underlies much of system resilience, focusing on how systems respond to known and unknown threats. Panarchy theory can provide a framework for qualitative and quantitative research and application in the environmental sciences, which can in turn inform the ongoing efforts in socio-technical resilience thinking and adaptive and transformative approaches to management.

AB - Survival studies of juvenile Pacific salmonOncorhynchusspp. implanted with acoustic tags have been conducted at hydroelectric dams within the Federal Columbia River Power System in the Columbia and Snake rivers between 2010 and 2014 to assess compliance with the dam passage survival standards stipulated in the 2008 Biological Opinion. For juvenile yearling Chinook SalmonO. tshawytschaand steelheadO. mykissthat migrate downstream in the spring, dam passage survival (defined as survival from the upstream dam face to the tailrace mixing zone) must be ≥ 96%, and for subyearling Chinook Salmon that migrate downstream in summer, dam passage survival must be ≥ 93%. Precision requirement stipulates a standard error ≤ 1.5% (i.e., a 95% confidence interval of ± 3%). A total of 29 compliance tests have been conducted at six of eight main-stem dams in the Federal Columbia River Power System, using over 109,000 acoustic-tagged salmonid smolts. Of these 29 compliance studies, 23 met the survival standards and 26 met the precision requirements. Of the six dams evaluated to date, individual survival estimates range from 0.9597 to 0.9868 for yearling Chinook Salmon, from 0.9534 to 0.9952 for steelhead, and from 0.9076 to 0.9789 for subyearling Chinook Salmon. Averages across the six dams exceed the survival standards for all three migrant populations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - In situ measurements of compressional and shear wave speed and attenuation were collected 30 cm below the water-sediment interface in Currituck Sound, North Carolina at two field locations having distinctly different sediment types: medium-to-fine-grained sand and fine-grained sand with approximately 10% mud content. Shear wave measurements were performed with bimorph transducers to generate and receive horizontally polarized shear waves in the 300 Hz to 1 kHz band, and compressional wave measurements were performed using hydrophones operated in the 5 kHz to 100 kHz band. Sediment samples were collected at both measurement sites and later analyzed in the laboratory to characterize the sediment grain size distribution for each field location. Compressional and shear wave speed and attenuation were estimated from the acoustic measurements, and preliminary comparisons to the extended Biot model by Chotiros and Isakson [J. Acoust. Soc. 135, 3264-3279 (2014)] and the viscous grain-shearing theory by Buckingham [J. Acoust. Soc. 136, 2478-2488 (2014)] were performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - Background: While advanced diagnostic imaging is a large contributor to the growth in health care costs, direct-access to physical therapy is associated with decreased rates of diagnostic imaging. No study has systematically evaluated with evidence-based criteria the appropriateness of advanced diagnostic imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), when ordered by physical therapists. The primary purpose of this study was to describe the appropriateness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or magnetic resonance arthrogram (MRA) exams ordered by physical therapists in a direct-access sports physical therapy clinic. Study Design: Retrospective observational study of practice. Hypothesis: Greater than 80% of advanced diagnostic imaging orders would have an American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness Criteria rating of greater than 6, indicating an imaging order that is usually appropriate. Methods: A 2-year retrospective analysis identified 108 MRI/MRA examination orders from four physical therapists. A board-certified radiologist determined the appropriateness of each order based on ACR appropriateness criteria. The principal investigator and co-investigator radiologist assessed agreement between the clinical diagnosis and MRI/surgical findings. Results: Knee (31%) and shoulder (25%) injuries were the most common. Overall, 55% of injuries were acute. The mean ACR rating was 7.7; scores from six to nine have been considered appropriate orders and higher ratings are better. The percentage of orders complying with ACR appropriateness criteria was 83.2%. Physical therapist's clinical diagnosis was confirmed by MRI/MRA findings in 64.8% of cases and was confirmed by surgical findings in 90% of cases. Conclusions: Physical therapists providing musculoskeletal primary care in a direct-access sports physical therapy clinic appropriately ordered advanced diagnostic imaging in over 80% of cases. Future research should prospectively compare physical therapist appropriateness and utilization to other groups of providers and explore the effects of physical therapist imaging privileging on outcomes.

AB - Overall, there exists a deficit of empirical research on lone wolf terrorism outside a Western operational environment, quantitative research on the global jihadist movement, and, in particular, studies that examine both elements. This research attempts to fill this gap by giving a basic, descriptive overview of what lone wolf terrorism looked like in Afghanistan from 1997 to 2013 and examining whether it is more problematic than other forms.

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

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

AB - Background The worst Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in history has resulted in more than 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths. We present the final results of two phase 1 trials of an attenuated, replication-competent, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV)-based vaccine candidate designed to prevent EVD. Methods We conducted two phase 1, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalation trials of an rVSV-based vaccine candidate expressing the glycoprotein of a Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV). A total of 39 adults at each site (78 participants in all) were consecutively enrolled into groups of 13. At each site, volunteers received one of three doses of the rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine (3 million plaque-forming units [PFU], 20 million PFU, or 100 million PFU) or placebo. Volunteers at one of the sites received a second dose at day 28. Safety and immunogenicity were assessed. Results The most common adverse events were injection-site pain, fatigue, myalgia, and headache. Transient rVSV viremia was noted in all the vaccine recipients after dose 1. The rates of adverse events and viremia were lower after the second dose than after the first dose. By day 28, all the vaccine recipients had seroconversion as assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against the glycoprotein of the ZEBOV-Kikwit strain. At day 28, geometric mean titers of antibodies against ZEBOV glycoprotein were higher in the groups that received 20 million PFU or 100 million PFU than in the group that received 3 million PFU, as assessed by ELISA and by pseudovirion neutralization assay. A second dose at 28 days after dose 1 significantly increased antibody titers at day 56, but the effect was diminished at 6 months. Conclusions This Ebola vaccine candidate elicited anti-Ebola antibody responses. After vaccination, rVSV viremia occurred frequently but was transient. These results support further evaluation of the vaccine dose of 20 million PFU for preexposure prophylaxis and suggest that a second dose may boost antibody responses.

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

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

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

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

AB - Polymers prepared by ring opening methathesis polymerization contain double bonds along the backbone and are susceptible to oxidation during high temperature processing or device operation. To overcome this, we report a simple method to improve the oxidative stability of ROMP based polymers by inclusion of a small percentage of monomer functionalized with a radical scavenger in the feedstock. The oxidation induction temperature was improved from 111°C up to 262°C when 8 mol% of the functionalized comonomer was included in the feedstock. Modest improvements in the thermal decomposition temperature were also observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - This article describes and contrasts the public health response to two human rabies cases: one organ recipient diagnosed within days of symptom onset and the transplant donor who was diagnosed 18 months post-symptom onset. In response to an organ-transplant-related rabies case diagnosed in 2013, organ donor and recipient investigations were conducted by multiple public health agencies. Persons with potential exposure to infectious patient materials were assessed for rabies virus exposure. An exposure investigation was conducted to determine the source of the organ donor's infection. Over 100 persons from more than 20 agencies spent over 2700 h conducting contact investigations in healthcare, military and community settings. The 564 persons assessed include 417 healthcare workers [5.8% recommended for post-exposure prophylaxis ( PEP)], 96 community contacts (15.6% recommended for PEP), 30 autopsy personnel (50% recommended for PEP), and 21 other persons (4.8% recommended for PEP). Donor contacts represented 188 assessed with 20.2% recommended for PEP, compared with 5.6% of 306 recipient contacts recommended for PEP. Human rabies cases result in substantial use of public health and medical resources, especially when diagnosis is delayed. Although rare, clinicians should consider rabies in cases of encephalitis of unexplained aetiology, particularly for cases that may result in organ donation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Objectives: Training-related injury is a threat to military health and readiness. Prevalence of potential risk factors for training-related injury can change with U.S. Army recruitment goals and may influence basic combat training (BCT) injury rates. This article describes challenges of using administrative data to identify a trainee cohort and describes demographic and training characteristics across the five BCT locations. Methods: Data from the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database were used to identify a U.S. Army-wide cohort of first-time trainees from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2007 and describe its characteristics. Results: The cohort includes 368,102 first-time trainees. The annual number starting BCT increased from 52,187 in 2002 to 68,808 in 2004. The proportion of males increased from 81.57% in 2003 to 83.84% in 2007. Mean (SD) age increased from 20.67 (3.55) years in 2002 to 20.94 (3.65) years in 2007. Mean (SD) body mass index increased from 24.53 (3.56) kg/m2 in 2002 to 24.94 (3.84) kg/m2 in 2006. Other characteristics fluctuated by year, including proportions of race/ethnicity, accession waivers, and confirmed graduates. Conclusions: Fluctuations in trainee characteristics warrant further analysis of potential influence on BCT injury rates. For research uses, careful acquisition of administrative data is needed.

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

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

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

AB - The taxonomic status of members of the genus Lepidium in the Intermountain West has been in flux for years. Species concepts and classification of these endemic species from the western United States center on the highly variable L. montanum complex. Until recently, classification treatments that use morphological features in this group have been adequate, but as new species are discovered and more locations reported, the limited number of morphological features available for classification and defining species concepts has led to more uncertainty about taxonomic rankings. As part of a molecular and morphological-based treatment of the group, flow cytometry was used to evaluate 58 collections of Lepidium from the Intermountain West. The ploidy level for 14 species and 11 varieties of Lepidium was surveyed to assess whether ploidy levels affected the interpretation of taxonomic rankings. Of the Lepidium taxa surveyed, 90% were tetraploid, and several were diploid and hexaploid. Tetraploid occurrences crossed all major species and varieties. No geographic distribution or habitat patterns were associated with ploidy level. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - Durante años, el estado taxonómico de los miembros del género Lepidium en el área intermontañosa del oeste ha estado en constante cambio. Los conceptos de especie y la clasificación de estas especies endémicas del oeste de los Estados Unidos se enfocan en el complejo L. nwntanum sumamente variable. Hasta hace poco, los tratamientos de clasificación que utilizan características morfológicas en este grupo han sido adecuados, pero a medida que se descubren nuevas especies y se registran más ubicaciones, el limitado número de características morfológicas disponibles para la clasificación y la definición de los conceptos de especie ha dado lugar a una mayor incertidumbre sobre las clasificaciones taxonómicas. Como parte de una técnica molecular y morfológica del grupo, se utilizó citometría de flujo para evaluar 58 colecciones de Lepidium en el área intermontañosa del oeste. Se realizó un estudio de ploidía en 14 especies y 11 variedades de Lepidium para evaluar si los niveles de ploidía afectaban la interpretación de las clasificaciones taxonómicas. El 90% de los Lepidium estudiados resultaron ser tetraploides, junto con varios taxa que son diploides y hexaploides. Las ocurrencias tetraploides cruzaron las principales especies y variedades. No se encontraron patrones de distribución o de hábitats geográficos asociados con el nivel de ploidía. (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Introduction: Traumatic brain injury accounts for over 1 million U.S. emergency department visits annually. A significant percentage of patients undergo CT scans to exclude intracranial bleeds. The Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) is designed to rapidly determine whether a concussion has occurred, (0-30 scale, where >25 is considered normal). Although not intended to be used in isolation, results in the normal range are considered an indication of low suspicion of brain injury. This study evaluated the relationship between CT findings of structural injury (CT+) and performance on the SAC. Methods: We performed a prospective observational study on mild head-injured patients presenting to the emergency department who underwent CT scans and had SAC evaluations. Results: We enrolled 368 patients, of which 66 were read by a neuroradiologist as positive (CT+), with an average age of 46.7, and an average Glasgow Coma Scale of 14.85. 38.2% of these CT+ patients had a SAC score >25. There were no significant differences between time of injury and CT scan or SAC for those with high or low SAC scores. Both high and low SAC groups contained similar CT+ abnormalities (e.g., hematomas). Conclusions: These results indicate that a normal SAC score alone does not exclude intracranial injury.

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

AB - The specialized nature of technology-based programs creates volumes of data on a magnitude never before seen, complicating the test and evaluation phase of acquisition. This article provides a practical solution for reducing network traffic analysis data while expediting test and evaluation. From small lab testing to full integration test events, quality of service and other key metrics of military systems and networks are evaluated. Network data captured in standard flow formats enable scalable approaches for producing network traffic analyses. Because of its compact representation of network traffic, flow data naturally scale well. Some analyses require deep packet inspection, but many can be calculated/approximated quickly with flow data, including quality-of-service metrics like completion rate and speed of service.

AB - The development of handheld signal cluster and 40-mm parachute green light–emitting pyrotechnic compositions is described. Of the new compositions evaluated, one was found to exceed the military requirements in burn time, luminous intensity, dominant wavelength, and spectral purity in both the cluster and parachute configurations. The new illuminant composition is not plagued by single-point-of-failure concerns, as the Laminac 4116/Lupersol binder system has been replaced by the widely available Epon 813/Versamid 140 binder system. In addition, the new illuminant composition was found to be insensitive toward impact, friction, and electrostatic discharge and had a high thermal onset temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

AB - The first new load is the TRIO container that can be flown in three configurations with different heights. The second new load is a ribbon bridge interior bay section. Wind tunnel results with models of the new loads exhibit in general good agreement with flight-test results. The results of the new loads strengthen further the approach of using wind tunnel tests to accelerate slung-load clearance, as well as reduce risk and cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Previously, the authors showed that dynamic wind tunnel tests of a suspended CONEX cargo container model exhibited encouraging levels of success in predicting the stability characteristics and speed envelope of the full-scale load. The present study includes further use of the UH-60/CONEX system to investigate effects that were observed previously, but not fully addressed. These effects include the influence of pilot inputs and helicopter motions on the coupled pilot/helicopter/slung- load dynamics, the influence of center of gravity offset of the slung load, and the behavior of a load when a yaw swivel is not used in the suspension. It is shown that all three effects are important and affect the slung-load dynamics. The capability of wind tunnel tests to predict the behavior of slung loads in flight is shown for these effects.

AB - ABSTRACT Because risk assessment is fundamentally deficient in the face of unknown or unforeseeable events and disasters such as occurred in 2011 at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan, resilience thinking, which focuses on the ability of both natural and human-made systems to prepare for, absorb, and recover from an adverse event and to adapt to new conditions is an important additional consideration in decision making. Radiation contamination is an impediment to most critical functions of a community; resilience planning considers how those critical functions will be maintained in the event that radiation contamination does occur. Therefore, planning should begin with resilience-based thinking and should be complemented with risk assessment-based tools. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2016;12:677-679. Published 2016.

AB - Purpose: To assess uncorrected and corrected distance and near binocular visual acuity (VA) and the use of corrective lenses in U.S. Army Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve Soldiers.Methods: A descriptive statistical analysis of VA group data from the U.S. Army Vision Readiness Classification Screening system was performed. Data pulls from June 2012 to January 2015 were compared.Results: In January 2015, 62.3% of Soldiers had an uncorrected binocular distance VA of 20/20, 21.2% of Soldiers were worse than 20/40, and 41.4% of Soldiers wore corrective eyewear for distance vision. With correction, 92.5% had a binocular distance VA of 20/20 and 1.4% were worse than 20/40. In January 2015, 32.6% of Soldiers age >45 had an uncorrected binocular near VA of 20/20, 28.4% of Soldiers age >45 were worse than 20/40, and 61.9% of Soldiers age >45 wore corrective eyewear for near vision. With correction, 74.6% had a binocular near VA of 20/20 and 3.0% were worse than 20/40. Data for both years were similar, although there were differences between individual service components.Conclusions: In comparison to the U.S. adult population, U.S. Army Soldiers have better uncorrected and corrected vision and are less likely to wear vision correction.

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

AB - Measuring surgical business performance for Army military treatment facilities is currently done through 6 business metrics developed by the Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Surgical Services Service Line (3SL). Development of a composite score for business performance has the potential to simplify and synthesize measurement, improving focus for strategic goal setting and implementation. However, several considerations, ranging from data availability to submetric selection, must be addressed to ensure the score is accurate and representative. This article presents the methodology used in the composite score's creation and presents a metric based on return on investment and a measure of cases recaptured from private networks.

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

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

AB - Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different treatment combinations on bupropion recovery as well as time to return of spontaneous circulation.Methods: We conducted an eight group, randomized, experiment to evaluate combinations of epinephrine, vasopressin, and lipids on the restoration of cardiac function in Yorkshire pigs. After tracking the animals' baseline vitals for 10 minutes, we injected the animals with bupropion (35 mg/kg) and initiated a randomized protocol 2 minutes after cardiac arrest.Results: Results demonstrated that animal survival given treatment combinations including epinephrine were statistically superior to any other group (p < 0.001, Fishers' exact test). The odds of survival with use of epinephrine vs. other options were 22:1 (5.47, 88.43). Further, all animals receiving only lipids died. Cox survival analysis with bootstrapped parameter estimates provided evidence that the rapidity of cardiac recovery was maximized with a combination of epinephrine and lipids (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Lipids may require an additional chemical catalyst in order to be effective in cardiac recovery. Epinephrine and lipids combined shortened recovery time for surviving animals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

AB - We use hybrid-functional density functional theory to study the role of oxygen vacancies in negative bias-and-temperature stress-induced threshold voltage instability in 4H-silicon carbide power MOSFETs. According to our model, certain originally electrically “inactive” oxygen vacancies are structurally transformed into electrically “active” defects in the presence of strong negative bias and temperature. These newly generated defect configurations function as short-lived or long-lived switching oxide hole traps. The transients of their generation process are shown to correlate well with the measured “short-term” threshold voltage instability. Additionally, we show that the long-lived defects continue to degrade the room-temperature reliability of these devices even after stress removal. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

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

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

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

AB - This short article answers the question of whether, in the context of current American civil-military relations, senior military professionals may loyally dissent from a decision by civilian authorities, even including by resignation. Stated another way, can their constitutional duties to obedience to civilian authority ever clash so severely with their responsibilities to their profession and its fiduciary trust with the American people that dissent is obligated. The position offered here is that senior military professionals always retain the moral agency for such dissent. It inheres in their role as a steward of an American military profession exercising the discretionary judgments that are the moral core of their professional work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

AB - In situ bioaugmentation with aerobic hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX)-degrading bacteria is being considered for treatment of explosives-contaminated groundwater at Umatilla Chemical Depot, Oregon (UMCD). Two forced-gradient bacterial transport tests of site groundwater containing chloride or bromide tracer and either a mixed culture of Gordonia sp. KTR9 ( xplAKm), Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 (pGKT2 transconjugant; xplAKm) and Pseudomonas fluorescens I-C ( xenB), or a single culture of Gordonia sp. KTR9 ( xplA; i.e. wild-type) were conducted at UMCD. Groundwater monitoring evaluated cell viability and migration in the injection well and downgradient monitoring wells. Enhanced degradation of RDX was not evaluated in these demonstrations. Quantitative PCR analysis of xplA, the kanamycin resistance gene ( aph), and xenB indicated that the mixed culture was transported at least 3 m within 2 h of injection. During a subsequent field injection of bioaugmented groundwater, strain KTR9 (wild-type) migrated up to 23-m downgradient of the injection well within 3 days. Thus, the three RDX-degrading strains were effectively introduced and transported within the UMCD aquifer. This demonstration represents an innovative application of bioaugmentation to potentially enhance RDX biodegradation in aerobic aquifers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Brutsché, K.E.; Wang, P.; Rosati, J.D., and Beck, T.M., 2015. Evolution of a swash zone berm nourishment and influence of berm elevation on the performance of beach-nearshore nourishments along Perdido Key, Florida, USA. A nourishment was placed within the swash zone along eastern Perdido Key, Florida, in 2011-2012 using maintenance-dredged material from nearby Pensacola Pass, referred to here as a 'swash zone berm nourishment.' The study area was divided into three sections, the swash zone berm project and two adjacent areas to the west and east, and was monitored with time series beach surveys. The performance of the 2011-2012 nourishment with a constructed berm elevation of +0.91m North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88) was compared with two previous nourishments in 1985 and 1989-1991, with +3.0 m NAVD88 and +1.2 m NAVD88 elevations, respectively. The low elevation for the 2011-2012 nourishment allowed natural overwash processes to occur frequently, which resulted in net onshore sediment transport and growth of the active berm. The swash zone berm evolved back to the natural equilibrium profile shape maintained in the study area within 8 months. The high-wave energy conditions associated with the passages of Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricane Isaac accelerated the equilibrium process. Sediment volume gain west of the project area due to longshore spreading of the nourishment occurred mostly in the trough between the shoreline and the bar, rather than on the dry beach. In terms of rate of shoreline retreat, the short 1.2-km 1985 nourishment performed the poorest with a rate of 40 m/y. The long 7.3-km 1989-1991 nourishment performed the best with a retreat rate of 11 m/y. This suggests that high berm elevations do not necessarily lead to better nourishment performance. Instead, longshore extent of a nourishment may dominate project performance. Furthermore, the very high nourishment density of 1550 m3/m did not improve nourishment longevity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the time. The different character of the military community and of the military mission requires a different application of those protections. The fundamental necessity for obedience, and the consequent necessity for the imposition of discipline, may render permissible within the military that which would be constitutionally impossible outside it.

AB - We must fight the insurgents, and will use the tools at our disposal to both defeat the enemy and protect our forces. But we will not win based on the number of Taliban we kill, but instead on our ability to separate insurgents from the center of gravity—the people. That means we must respect and protect the population from coercion and violence—and operate in a manner which will win their support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

AB - An approach to develop room temperature detectors is to use transitions between the light/heavy hole bands and the split-off hole band to produce enhanced response at high temperature. Results are presented on a theoretical model to predict the response in these split-off detectors. The model calculates the dark and illuminated currents from the photoabsorption, carrier escape, and transport, explaining the experimental response. The variation in dark current, responsivity, and D* with the detector parameters is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - We provide experimental evidence for direct and indirect excitations of photoluminescence (PL) from Tm-doped AlxGa1-xN of varying Al content. Direct excitation of Tm3+ ions is observed primarily at 85 K through transitions 3H6→1I6, 3P0, 3P1, and 3P2 when these levels are below the absorption edge of the AlxGa1-xN for a given Al content. Strong ultraviolet emission at 298 nm (1I6→3H6), 355 nm (1I6→3F4), and 371 nm (1D2→3H6), as well as the familiar blue emission at 463 nm (1D2→3F4), and 479 nm (1G4→3H6), is found to depend sensitively on the Al content, excitation wavelength (i.e., direct or indirect), excitation type (continuous wave versus pulsed), and upper state of the transition. PL excitation spectroscopy and time-integrated and time-resolved PL spectra are compared to elucidate the complex energy transfer pathways. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - InAlN films deposited by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy exhibited a lateral composition modulation characterized by 10-12 nm diameter, honeycomb-shaped, columnar domains with Al-rich cores and In-rich boundaries. To ascertain the effect of this microstructure on its optical properties, room temperature absorption and photoluminescence characteristics of InxAl(1_X)N were comparatively investigated for indium compositions ranging from x = 0.092 to 0.235, including x = 0.166 lattice matched to GaN. The Stokes shift of the emission was significantly greater than reported for films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, possibly due to the phase separation in these nanocolumnar domains. The room temperature photoluminescence also provided evidence of carrier transfer from the InAlN film to the GaN template. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - We developed a highly sensitive assay to detect transcription errors in vivo. The assay is based on suppression of a missense mutation in the active site tyrosine in the Cre recombinase. Because Cre acts as tetramer, background from translation errors are negligible. Functional Cre resulting from rare transcription errors that restore the tyrosine codon can be detected by Cre-dependent rearrangement of reporter genes. Hence, transient transcription errors are captured as stable genetic changes. We used this Cre-based reporter to screen for mutations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae RPB1 (RPO21) that increase the level of misincorporation during transcription. The mutations are in three domains of Rpb1, the trigger loop, the bridge helix, and in sites involved in binding to TFIIS. Biochemical characterization demonstrates that these variants have elevated misincorporation, and/or ability to extend mispaired bases, or defects in TFIIS mediated editing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - This article explores and analyzes the role of women who exercised agency as perpetrators during the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. Genocide narratives traditionally cast women as victims, and many women did suffer horrific abuses and become victims of torture in Rwanda. However, this gender-based characterization of women is inaccurate and incomplete. After presenting a multidisciplinary body of literature relevant to female agency during genocide, this article explores three core questions related to female agency during the Rwandan genocide. It discusses how women were mobilized before and during the genocide, the specific actions of women who exercised agency and finally what happened to these women in the aftermath of the genocide. This article is based upon research that was gathered by the author and includes interviews of female perpetrators as well as victims and witnesses of direct violence committed by women. The article asserts that women played an active role in the Rwandan genocide but are often excluded from the dominant narrative. This article also addresses the implications of ignoring female perpetrators of genocide. It suggests that such an oversight may have a detrimental impact on the long-term peace and stability in post-genocide Rwanda. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - The crystallization of lead zirconate titanate ( PZT) thin films was evaluated on two different platinum-coated Si substrates. One substrate consisted of a Pt coating on a Ti adhesion layer, whereas the other consisted of a Pt coating on a TiO2 adhesion layer. The Pt deposited on TiO2 exhibited a higher degree of preferred orientation than the Pt deposited on Ti (as measured by the Full Width at Half Maximum of the 111 peak about the sample normal). PZT thin films with a nominal Zr/Ti ratio of 52/48 were deposited on the substrates using the inverted mixing order ( IMO) route. Phase and texture evolution of the thin films were monitored during crystallization using in situ X-ray diffraction at a synchrotron source. The intensity of the Pt3Pb phase indicated that deposition on a highly oriented Pt/TiO2 substrate resulted in less diffusion of Pb into the substrate relative to films deposited on Pt/Ti. There was also no evidence of the pyrochlore phase influencing texture evolution. The results suggest that PZT nucleates directly on Pt, which explains the observation of a more highly oriented 111 texture of PZT on the Pt/TiO2 substrate than on the Pt/Ti substrate.

AB - In this article, first, we show that by contact work function engineering, electrostatic doping and proper scaling of both the oxide thickness and the flake thickness, high performance p- and n-type WSe2 field effect transistors (FETs) can be realized. We report record high drive current of 98 μA/μm for the electron conduction and 110 μA/um for the hole conduction in Schottky barrier WSe2 FETs. Then, we combine high performance WSe2 PFET with WSe2 NFET in double gated transistor geometry to demonstrate a fully complementary logic inverter. We also show that by adjusting the threshold voltages for the NFET and the PFET, the gain and the noise margin of the inverter can be significantly enhanced. The maximum gain of our chemical doping free WSe2 inverter was found to be ~25 and the noise margin was close to its ideal value of °2.5 V for a supply voltage of VDD = 5.0 V. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - This paper describes the design and implementation of a small-scale pulsed power system specifi- cally intended to evaluate the suitability of experimental silicon and silicon carbide high power Super Gate Turn Off thyristors for high action (500 A²s and above) pulsed power applications where energy is extracted from a storage element in a rapid and controlled manner. To this end, six of each type of device was placed in a controlled three phase rectifier circuit which was in turn connected to an aircraft ground power motor-generator set and subjected to testing protocols with varying power levels, while parameters such as offset firing angle were varied.

AB - The Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System, developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, has been used to monitor the survival of juvenile salmonids passing through hydroelectric facilities in the Federal Columbia River Power System. Cabled hydrophone arrays deployed at dams receive coded transmissions sent from acoustic transmitters implanted in fish. The signals' time of arrival on different hydrophones is used to track fish in 3D. In this article, a new algorithm that decodes the received transmissions is described and the results are compared to results for the previous decoding algorithm. In a laboratory environment, the new decoder was able to decode signals with lower signal strength than the previous decoder, effectively increasing decoding efficiency and range. In field testing, the new algorithm decoded significantly more signals than the previous decoder and three-dimensional tracking experiments showed that the new decoder's time-of-arrival estimates were accurate. At multiple distances from hydrophones, the new algorithm tracked more points more accurately than the previous decoder. The new algorithm was also more than 10 times faster, which is critical for real-time applications on an embedded system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A critical element of rotorcraft autonomy is a flight control system that can operate harmoniously with the various autonomy components that depend on it. This is particularly true for highly interactive components, such as obstacle field navigation (OFN), where the vehicle navigation course is constantly being altered as more terrain information is gathered. This paper describes the development, integration, and flight-testing of an autonomous flight control system (AFCS) on a JUH-60A research helicopter. Flight-test results include control law validation using frequency domain analysis and performance characteristics using both ADS-33E mission task elements and path-error measurements. These performance data are then used to configure a risk minimizing OFN algorithm with the AFCS. The integrated OFN algorithm and AFCS are demonstrated in flight by navigating autonomously through 23 mi of mountainous terrain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The paper presents the application of three aerodynamic prediction methods, covering a wide spectrum of sophistication and computational efficiency, to a model-scale coaxial rotor with highly twisted blades. The first method is based on bladeelementmomentum theory. The second is based on a free-vortex wake model, and the third is a computational fluid dynamics analysis based on Navier-Stokes solutions on structured grids. The results are compared with experimental data from model rotor tests in hover. There is generally good agreement between theory and experiment for the quantities considered, namely rotor thrust, torque, and inflow, but the results fromthe three methods differ in several important details.

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

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

AB - We present findings from a study that prohibited computer devices in randomly selected classrooms of an introductory economics course at the United States Military Academy. Average final exam scores among students assigned to classrooms that allowed computers were 0.18 standard deviations lower than exam scores of students in classrooms that prohibited computers. Through the use of two separate treatment arms, we uncover evidence that this negative effect occurs in classrooms where laptops and tablets are permitted without restriction and in classrooms where students are only permitted to use tablets that must remain flat on the desk.

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

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

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

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

AB - Exudates produced from Bermuda grass roots were collected in deionized water from sterilized Bermuda grass sod at 3-day intervals over a period of 15 days. Exudates were analyzed for total organic carbon, and characterized via Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Exudate samples were adjusted to pH values of 4.5, 6.5, and 7.5, amended with lead and quantified for soluble and complexed lead via Inductively Coupled Plasma—Optical Emission Spectrometry. Data obtained from total organic carbon measurements indicated compositional changes in Bermuda grass root exudates as organic carbon concentrations increased over time. Analysis of the infrared spectroscopy data indicated that carboxylic acids and amine functional groups were present in root exudates. Also, the ability of root-exuded compounds to solubilize lead in aqueous media was demonstrated as exudate samples dissolved an average of 60% more lead than deionized water. At pH values 4.5 and 7.5, lead complexation by Bermuda grass root exudates increased with decreasing molecular weight size fractions, while an opposite trend was observed at pH 6.5. Results from this study demonstrated the ability of Bermuda grass root exudates to complex lead in aqueous media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Tuning of band gap of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been a challenging problem due to its inherent chemical stability and inertness. In this work, we report the changes in band gaps in a few layers of chemical vapor deposition processed as-grown h-BN using a simple oxygen plasma treatment. Optical absorption spectra show a trend of band gap narrowing monotonically from 6 eV of pristine h-BN to 4.31 eV when exposed to oxygen plasma for 12 s. The narrowing of band gap causes the reduction in electrical resistance by ~100 fold. The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results of plasma treated hexagonal boron nitride surface show the predominant doping of oxygen for the nitrogen vacancy. Energy sub-band formations inside the band gap of h-BN, due to the incorporation of oxygen dopants, cause a red shift in absorption edge corresponding to the band gap narrowing.

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

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

AB - Defense Acquisition Workforce and defense industry professionals engaged in the acquisition decision process must have extensive knowledge of the relationship between government ownership of Technical Data Rights and the transition of technology from the Science and Technology (S&T) community into Programs of Record (PoR). For purposes of this article, the author's objective was to identify ways to increase such understanding and promote successful transition of Technical Data Rights through use of survey questionnaires that solicited feedback. This research concluded that Program Executive Officers and Program Managers were transitioning the associated Technical Data Rights along with the Advanced Technology Development products; and that DoD ownership of Technical Data Rights makes a statistical difference in the successful transition of technologies.

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

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

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

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

AB - Results froma jointDARPA/Boeing/NASA/Armywind tunnel test demonstrated the ability to reduce in-plane, low-frequency noise of the full-scaleBoeing-SMART(Smart Material ActuatedRotorTechnology) rotor with active flaps. Test data reported in this paper illustrated that near-field acoustic energy in the first six blade-passing harmonics could be reduced by up to 6 dB at a moderate-airspeed, level flight condition at an advance ratio of 0.30. Reduced noise levels were attributed to selective active flap schedules that modified in-plane blade airloads on the advancing side of the rotor, generating counteracting acoustic pulses that partially offset the negative pressure peaks associated with in-plane, steady thickness noise. These favorable reduced-noise operating states are a strong function of the active flap actuation amplitude, frequency, and phase. The reduced noise levels resulted in reduction of predicted aural detection distance, but incurred vibratory load penalties due to increased hub shear forces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - A novel technique for the production of thiol-ene microspheres using acoustic resonance and coaxial flow is reported. The method utilizes low-frequency acoustically driven mechanical perturbations to disrupt the flow of a thiol-ene liquid jet, resulting in small thiol-ene droplets that are photochemically polymerized to yield thiol-ene microspheres. Tuning of the frequency, amplitude, and monomer solution viscosity are critical parameters impacting the diameter of the microspheres produced. Characterization by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering reveal microspheres of diameters <10 μm, with narrow particle distributions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

AB - A wide range of chemical warfare agents and their simulants are catalytically decontaminated by a new one-dimensional polymeric polyniobate (P-PONb), K12[Ti2O2][GeNb12O40]⋅19 H2O ( KGeNb) under mild conditions and in the dark. Uniquely, KGeNb facilitates hydrolysis of nerve agents Sarin (GB) and Soman (GD) (and their less reactive simulants, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP)) as well as mustard (HD) in both liquid and gas phases at ambient temperature and in the absence of neutralizing bases or illumination. Three lines of evidence establish that KGeNb removes DMMP, and thus likely GB/GD, by general base catalysis: a) the k(H2O)/k(D2O) solvent isotope effect is 1.4; b) the rate law (hydrolysis at the same pH depends on the amount of P-PONb present); and c) hydroxide is far less active against the above simulants at the same pH than the P-PONbs themselves, a critical control experiment.

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

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

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

AB - Aluminum hydride (AlH 3 ) has been identified as a promising H 2 storage material for fuel cell systems and offers a significant weight savings over conventional Li-ion batteries, due its high H 2 storage capacity and simple balance of plant requirements for H 2 generation. This work reports on the development and characterization of a novel, wearable AlH 3 based PEM fuel cell system. System characterization revealed an unexpectedly low energy density value, 25% lower than anticipated, (436 Wh kg −1 vs. 582 Wh kg −1 for 1440 Wh) due in part to a previously unpublished phenomenon of incomplete α-AlH 3 thermolysis. Based on literature reports, complete thermolysis was expected to occur at <180 °C, however this work reports on conditions where the full H 2 yield cannot be obtained despite high temperature (>250 °C) exposure. This work provides an experimental characterization of this phenomenon and quantitatively describes it by developing a new model in the framework of the Avrami–Erofeev phase transformation model, which can be utilized for the optimum design of high energy density AlH 3 cartridges.

AB - The elastic/plastic mechanical behavior of freestanding polycrystalline {111}-textured Pt films with thicknesses 50–1000 nm and different combinations of grain size and film thickness, grown epitaxially on a 35–50 nm thick polycrystalline (100)-TiO 2 (rutile) seed layer, was studied at uniaxial tension strain rates 10 −6 - 10 s −1 . The mismatch strain between the {111}-Pt films and the underlying (100)-TiO 2 seed layer gives rise to an interfacial dislocation network, which, in turn, determines the initiation of plastic deformation in Pt. Experiments showed that the flow stress increases, while the plastic strain accumulation at failure decreases with decreasing Pt film thickness. A modified Thompson model that accounted for the combined effect of film thickness and grain size provided good predictions for the elastic limit of Pt films. However, the yield stress was underestimated by the same model; a Taylor strain hardening model was superimposed to the modified Thompson model to account for additional hardening as a result of dislocation interactions during plastic deformation, which provided good predictions for the evolution of flow stress with plastic strain.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Compensatory reserve was measured in baboons (n = 13) during hemorrhage (Hem) and lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) using a machine-learning algorithm developed to estimate compensatory reserve by detecting reductions in central blood volume during LBNP. The algorithm calculates compensatory reserve index (CRI) from normovolemia (CRI = 1) to cardiovascular decompensation (CRI = 0). The hypothesis was that Hem and LBNP will elicit similar CRI values and that CRI would have higher specificity than stroke volume (SV) in predicting decompensation. Blood was removed in four steps: 6.25%, 12.5%, 18.75%, and 25% of total blood volume. Four weeks after Hem, the same animals were subjected to four levels of LBNP that was matched on the basis of their central venous pressure. Data (mean ± 95% confidence interval) indicate that CRI decreased (P < 0.001) from baseline during Hem (0.69 ± 0.10, 0.57 ± 0.09, 0.36 ± 0.10, 0.16 ± 0.08, and 0.08 ± 0.03) and LBNP (0.76 ± 0.05, 0.66 ± 0.08, 0.36 ± 0.13, 0.23 ± 0.11, and 0.14 ± 0.09). CRI was not different between Hem and LBNP (P = 0.20). Linear regression analysis between Hem CRI and LBNP CRI revealed a slope of 1.03 and a correlation coefficient of 0.96. CRI exhibited greater specificity than SV in both Hem (92.3 vs. 82.1) and LBNP (94.8 vs. 83.1) and greater ROC AUC in Hem (0.94 vs. 0.84) and LBNP (0.94 vs. 0.92). These data support the hypothesis that Hem and LBNP elicited the same CRI response, suggesting that measurement of compensatory reserve is superior to SV as a predictor of cardiovascular decompensation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The goal of this research is to achieve close to real-time dynamics performance for allowing auto-pilot in-the-loop testing of unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) for urban as well as off-road scenarios. The overall vehicle dynamics performance is governed by the multibody dynamics model for the vehicle, the wheel/terrain interaction dynamics and the onboard control system. The topic of this paper is the development of computationally efficient and accurate dynamics model for ground vehicles with complex suspension dynamics. A challenge is that typical vehicle suspensions involve closed-chain loops which require expensive DAE integration techniques. In this paper, we illustrate the use the alternative constraint embedding technique to reduce the cost and improve the accuracy of the dynamics model for the vehicle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Removal of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) was investigated in conjunction with heterotrophic and autotrophic denitrifying growth conditions by a microbial consortium from a wastewater treatment plant. Microcosms were supplemented with molasses, methanol, or thiosulfate. Cultures were passaged twice by transferring 10 % of the culture volume to fresh media on days 11 and 21. Rates of NTO removal were 18.71 ± 0.65, 9.04 ± 2.61, and 4.34 ± 2.72 mg/L/day while rates of nitrate removal were 20.08 ± 1.13, 21.58 ± 1.20, and 24.84 ± 1.26 mg/L/day, respectively, for molasses, methanol, or thiosulfate. Metagenomic analysis showed that Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the major phyla in the microbial communities. In molasses supplemented cultures, the community profile at the family level changed over time with Pseudomonadaceae the most abundant (67.4 %) at day 11, Clostridiaceae (65.7 %) at day 21, and Sporolactobacillaceae (35.4 %) and Clostridiaceae (41.0 %) at day 29. Pseudomonadaceae was the dominant family in methanol and thiosulfate supplemented cultures from day 21 to 29 with 76.6 and 81.6 % relative abundance, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - The performance of two popular hydraulic models (HEC-RAS and WSPG) for modeling hydraulic jump in an open channel is investigated. The numerical solutions are compared with a new experimental data set obtained for varying channel bottom slopes and flow rates. Both the models satisfactorily predict the flow depths and location of the jump. The end results indicate that the numerical models output is sensitive to the value of chosen roughness coefficient. For this application, WSPG model is easier to implement with few input variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We investigate an energy-efficient synthesis that merges the bio-templated technique and solid-state reactions to produce nano-structured lithiated polyanions. With the aid of bio-templates based on an M13 virus, the thermal budget of an annealing process can be reduced, and the nano-structured characteristics of the precursors are preserved in the product. This method enables us to successfully prepare monoclinic LiMnBO3 with an average particle size of 20 nm in a 1 h annealing process, showing improved electrochemical properties compared with the conventionally synthesized one. Thus, we consider that this bio-facilitated method can open up an environmentally-friendly pathway to produce nano-structured electrode materials with an enhanced performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Cyanoacetohydrazide (CAH, C3H5N3O) has been studied under pressure using diamond anvil cell techniques. CAH was characterized using Raman spectroscopy to 30 GPa and synchrotron X-ray diffraction to 45 GPa. The Raman spectra of CAH show reasonable qualitative agreement with first-principle calculations. The X-ray data reveal that CAH maintains its monoclinic structure to approximately 22 GPa with a density change of 12% over this range. Near 22 GPa, the Raman modes and most of the X-ray diffraction peaks disappear. These pressure-induced changes are irreversible upon the release of pressure, and the transformed sample can be recovered to ambient pressure. The recovered sample is photosensitive and shows reaction even at low laser powers of 10 mW at 532 nm. The paper concludes with observations of the roles of hydrogen bonding, molecular configurations, and the behavior of the cyano group in the pressure-induced changes in CAH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - Accurate shock modeling requires that two critical issues be addressed: (1) correct representation of the essential shock physics, and (2) control of Gibbs phenomenon oscillation at the discontinuity. In this work a stable (oscillation limiting) and flux-conserved formulation under the reproducing kernel particle method is developed for shock modeling. A smoothed flux divergence is constructed under the framework of stabilized conforming nodal integration, which is locally-enriched with a Riemann solution to satisfy the entropy production constraints. This Riemann-enriched flux divergence is embedded into the reproducing kernel formulation through a velocity correction that also provides oscillation control at the shock. The correction is constrained to the shock region by an automatic shock detection algorithm that is constructed using the intrinsic spectral decomposition feature of the reproducing kernel approximation. Several numerical examples are provided to verify accuracy of the proposed formulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - We study a representation for polynomial functions over finite rings. This factorial representation is particularly useful for fast interpolation, and we show that it is computationally preferable to the Lagrange Interpolation Formula (LIF) and to Newton interpolation over finite fields and rings. Moreover, over arbitrary finite rings the calculation of the factorial representation aborts naturally when a given mapping does not arise as a polynomial function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - To elucidate the mechanism of ion transport through a transmembrane pore, all-atom molecular dynamics simulations were employed. A model membrane where a pore connects the intra- and extra-cellular compartment was considered. Pores with radii of 1.5 nm or less exhibited resealing over the course of 135 ns simulations, and ionic disturbance is minimal. Ion transport through a larger pore (2 nm radius) leads to a substantial change in the intra- and extra-cellular ionic concentrations. The influx of Na + and Cl − ions down their concentration gradients is greater than the efflux of K + leading to an osmotic influx of water. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Dams are continuing to age and deteriorate that affect the service life of the dams in the U.S. Risk assessment is required to understand the behavior of dams and to prioritize the remedial actions and maintenance, and yet it is quite challenging to do risk assessment since it requires extensive current and historical data from in situ instrumentation on dams and detailed design, construction, and operation information. Currently, the required data for risk assessment resides in various paper-based and digital documents that hinder the capabilities of risk assessors to gather, analyze, and visualize the data flexibly from various engineering perspectives such as geotechnical, hydrologic, geologic, and structural. As a result, getting a holistic view of a dam's current condition and its behavior over time becomes a time and resource intensive task. There is a need for an integrated shared knowledge repository for dams to streamline the risk assessment process. The research described in this paper provides requirements for developing such a shared knowledge repository for risk assessment of embankment dams that would support the information needs of various engineering domains and the means and methods for integrated assessment, visualization, and data analytics to understand the risk of internal erosion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - In this paper, we propose a general collaborative sparse representation framework for multi-sensor classification, which takes into account the correlations as well as complementary information between heterogeneous sensors simultaneously while considering joint sparsity within each sensor’s observations. We also robustify our models to deal with the presence of sparse noise and low-rank interference signals. Specifically, we demonstrate that incorporating the noise or interference signal as a low-rank component in our models is essential in a multi-sensor classification problem when multiple co-located sources/sensors simultaneously record the same physical event. We further extend our frameworks to kernelized models which rely on sparsely representing a test sample in terms of all the training samples in a feature space induced by a kernel function. A fast and efficient algorithm based on alternative direction method is proposed where its convergence to an optimal solution is guaranteed. Extensive experiments are conducted on several real multi-sensor data sets and results are compared with the conventional classifiers to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

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

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

AB - The elastic moduli of PLA reinforced with 5 and 10 wt.% CNF with the carrier, at a frequency ( ω ) of 0.07, were 67% and 415% higher, respectively, than that of neat PLA. The shear viscosity at a shear rate of 0.01 ( η 0.01 ) for PLA + 10 wt.% CNF was 32% higher than that of the neat PLA matrix. The η 0.01 of PLA reinforced with 5 wt.% CNF and the PHB carrier was similar to neat PLA. The tensile and flexural moduli of elasticity of the nanocomposites continuously increased with increased CNF loading. The results of the mechanical property measurements are in accordance with the rheological data. The CNF appeared to be better dispersed (less-aggregated nanofibers) in the PLA reinforced with 5 wt.% CNF and the PHB carrier. Possible applications for the composites studied in this research are packaging materials, construction materials, and auto parts for interior applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, was utilized as a bioterrorism agent in 2001 when spores were distributed via the U.S. postal system. In responding to this event, the Federal Bureau of Investigation used traditional bacterial culture viability assays to ascertain the extent of contamination of the postal facilities within 24 to 48 h of environmental sample acquisition. Here, we describe a low-complexity, second-generation reporter phage assay for the rapid detection of viable B. anthracis spores in environmental samples. The assay uses an engineered B. anthracis reporter phage (Wβ::luxAB-2) which transduces bioluminescence to infected cells. To facilitate low-level environmental detection and maximize the signal response, expression of luxAB in an earlier version of the reporter phage (Wβ::luxAB-1) was optimized. These alterations prolonged signal kinetics, increased light output, and improved assay sensitivity. UsingWβ::luxAB-2, detection of B. anthracis spores was 1 CFU in 8 h from pure cultures and as low as 10 CFU/g in sterile soil but increased to 105 CFU/g in unprocessed soil due to an unstable signal and the presence of competing bacteria. Inclusion of semiselective medium, mediated by a phage-expressed antibiotic resistance gene, maintained signal stability and enabled the detection of 104 CFU/g in 6 h. The assay does not require spore extraction and relies on the phage infecting germinating cells directly in the soil sample. This reporter phage displays promise for the rapid detection of low levels of spores on clean surfaces and also in grossly contaminated environmental samples from complex matrices such as soils.

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

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

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

AB - Case summary, by James Cook (Case Study Editor): In the final issue of the 2015 volume of theJournal of Military Ethics, we published a case study entitled “Coining an Ethical Dilemma: The Impunity of Afghanistan’s Indigenous Security Forces”, written by Paul Lushenko. The study detailed two extra-judicial killings (EJKs) by Afghan National Police (ANP) personnel in an area stabilized and overseen by a US-led Combined Task Force (CTF). To deter further EJKs following the first incident, the CTF’s commander reported the incidents up his chain of command and used the limited tools at his disposal to influence local indigenous officials directly. Apparently, the ANP unit took no notice. In his commentary on the case study, Paul Robinson considered moral compromise in war more generally. Coalition troops in Afghanistan, for instance, have encountered not just EJKs but also sexual abuse of minors, killing of non-combatants, kidnapping, torture, and widespread corruption. What should the soldier on the ground do if indigenous personnel violate Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC) with impunity? Refusing to serve will not right or prevent moral wrongs, while staying on to fight the good but futile fight will mire the soldier in moral compromise. “ … [S]oldiers faced with this dilemma have no good options. The systemic failings surrounding them mean that it is probable that nothing they do will help”. In a concluding note, I suggested that while an individual soldier may indeed have no good options, as Paul Robinson suggests, that soldier’s military and nation at large are obliged to do what they can. At least, they must keep to the moral high ground so as not to give indigenous security forces an excuse to misbehave, and determine the nature of crimes such as EJKs: are they outlaw acts or in fact endorsed by the indigenous culture and perhaps even government? Below Colonel Dave Barnes, himself a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, analyzes Paul Lushenko’s case study at “ … the local, tactical level: If a commander is in this situation – where her unit witnesses an EJK or other war crime – what should she do?” [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - The US Department of Defense is taking proactive steps to conserve rare species that occur primarily on lands under its stewardship, including Astragalus michauxii (Kuntze) F.J. Herm. (Sandhills milkvetch; Fabaceae). We completed a series of evaluations to determine effective means of germinating and propagating A. michauxii. We collected A. michauxii seed from Fort Bragg, an Army Installation located in the Sandhills ecoregion of North Carolina. While previous work described a germination protocol and suggested the presence of chemical dormancy, we determined that A. michauxii possesses only physical dormancy, which can be successfully broken by mechanical scarification yielding a > 94% germination rate. We also developed an effective method for large-scale propagation of A. michauxii by directly sowing seed into media, rather than transplanting seedlings from Petri plates. This method resulted in an emergence rate comparable to the observed germination rate and a 69% survivorship of seedlings ex situ. Our simplified germination and propagation protocols can effectively be used to provide individual plants for use in reintroduction and restoration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Thermal interface materials (TIMs) have reached values approaching the measurement uncertainty of standard ASTM D5470 based testers of approximately ±1 x 10-6 m² K/W. This paper presents a miniature ASTM-type steady-state tester that was developed to address the resolution limits of standard testers by reducing the heat meter bar thickness and using infrared (IR) thermography to measure the temperature gradient along the heat meter bar. Thermal interfacial resistance measurements on the order of 1 x 10-6 m² K/W with an order of magnitude improvement in the uncertainty of ±1 x 10-7 m² K/W are demonstrated. These measurements were made on several TIMs with a thermal resistance as low as 1.14 x 10-6 m² K/W. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Understanding why military students pursue a master's degree has become more important as the number of military students taking advantage of education benefits through the Post- 911 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 has increased. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how U.S. Army officers attending the Command and General Staff College (CGSC) decided to enroll in a master's degree program. Four research questions guided the study to determine whether and how career requirements, post-military aspirations, family considerations, and previous academic experience influenced the choice to pursue a master's degree. A conceptual framework comprised career development, career decision making, and adult development that provided additional guidance. The study used a case study methodology, and 26 military students participated. Data collection comprised interview and surveys, and data analysis comprised coding with peer review and member checking.

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

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

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

AB - Promotora Nutrition Empowerment Initiative (PNEI) was developed in response to requests by 7 promotora-researchers in the Construyendo Communidades Fronterizas Mas Sanas (Building Healthier Border Communities) research and outreach program to better equip them in the Texas border colonias they serve. This effort provided a framework for evidence-based, culturally and linguistically centered nutrition education and skill-building modules. Eight educational workshops (4 hours per month) comprised of in-depth nutrition education and skill-building lessons were conducted (December 2012–July 2013). Student’s paired sample t test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test compared pre- and posttest nutrition knowledge scores for each workshop; scores were significantly improved (P = .02). Medial assessment focus group analysis suggested that nutrition education workshops provided worth, impact, and empowerment. Results suggest that collaborative community efforts involving promotoras/community health workers empower and allow for greater opportunities for outreach and delivery of evidence-based community health education to hard-to-reach residents.

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

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

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

AB - Existing community resilience assessment methods lack explicit reference to temporality of disruptive events and often use standard metrics that may not be universally appropriate. Linkov et al.'s (Environ Sci Technol 47(18):10108-10110, ; Environ Syst Decis 33(4):471-476, ) Resilience Matrix (RM) framework utilizes local stakeholder-informed metrics aligned with the temporal stages of the National Academy of Science definition of disaster resilience. Here we demonstrate the application of the RM to coastal community resilience at Rockaway Peninsula, New York.

AB - Recent advances in development of in situ video settling columns have significantly contributed toward fine-sediment dynamics research through concurrent measurement of suspended sediment floc size distributions and settling velocities, which together also allow inference of floc density. Along with image resolution and sizing, two additional challenges in video analysis from these devices are the automated tracking of settling particles and accounting for fluid motions within the settling column. A combination of particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) image analysis techniques is described, which permits general automation of image analysis collected from video settling columns. In the fixed image plane, large-particle velocities are determined by PTV and small-particle velocities are tracked by PIV and treated as surrogates for fluid velocities. The large-particle settling velocity (relative to the suspending fluid) is determined by the vector difference of the large and small-particle settling velocities. The combined PTV/PIV image analysis approach is demonstrated for video settling column data collected within a dredge plume in Boston Harbor. The automated PTV/PIV approach significantly reduces uncertainties in measured settling velocity and inferred floc density. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Despite thousands of programs and tremendous public and private interest in improving financial decision-making, little is known about how best to teach financial education. Using an experimental approach, the authors estimated the effects of two different education methodologies (principles-based and rules-of-thumb) on the knowledge, self-assessed knowledge, financial self-efficacy, motivation to learn, willingness to seek advice, risk preferences, and time preferences of high-performing undergraduate students. They found both methods increased cognitive measures of knowledge and noncognitive measures of self-efficacy, motivation to learn, and willingness to take financial risks. They found few differences in the relative effectiveness of each method, although the principles methodology appears to generate larger gains in self-efficacy, while the rules-of-thumb method appears to reduce individuals' willingness to seek advice.

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

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

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

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

AB - Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG) in western Arizona is a testing range where Depleted uranium (DU) penetrators have been historically fired. A portion of the fired DU penetrators are being managed under controlled conditions by leaving them in place. The widespread use of DU in armor-penetrating weapons has raised environmental and human health concerns. The present study is focused on the onsite management approach and on the potential interactions with plants local to YPG. A 30 day study was conducted to assess the toxicity of DU corrosion products (e.g., schoepite and meta-schoepite) in two grass species that are native to YPG, Bermuda ( Cynodon dactylon) and Purple Threeawn ( Aristida purpurea). In addition, the ability for plants to uptake DU was studied. The results of this study show a much lower threshold for biomass toxicity and higher plant concentrations, particularly in the roots than shoots, compared to previous studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Cyanobacterial/Harmful Algal Blooms are a major issue for lakes and reservoirs throughout the U.S.A. An effective destructive technology could be useful to protect sensitive areas, such as areas near water intakes. The study presented in this article explored the use of a reactor called the KRIA Water Treatment System. The reactor focuses on the injection of superoxide (O), which is generated electrochemically from the atmosphere, into the water body. In addition, the injection process generates a significant amount of cavitation. The treatment process was tested in 190-L reactors spiked with water from cyanobacterial contaminated lakes. The treatment was very effective at destroying the predominant species of cyanobacteria, Microcystis aeruginosa, organic matter, and decreasing chlorophyll concentration. Microcystin toxin concentrations were also reduced. Data suggest that cavitation alone was an effective treatment, but the addition of superoxide improved performance, particularly regarding removal of cyanobacteria and reduction of microcystin concentration.

A notable example of endemic and specialized species that may have been influenced by slight changes in its habitat is the Devils Hole pupfish ( Cyprinodon diabolis), which occurs only in a small pool ecosystem in the Mojave Desert of the Southwestern United States. In this study, we use a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model to examine the physical effects of climate change and local groundwater management on Devils Hole and combine those results with a conceptual ecological model to consider the impacts of those changes on annual recruitment of C. diabolis. The CFD model predicts water temperatures as a response to climate and water level, and the ecological model is used to determine the timing of tipping points that may encourage or suppress the annual recruitment of C. diabolis. The combination of interdisciplinary modelling approaches offers a method to quantify and compare the suitability of habitat under a range of management and climate scenarios. Our results show that the influence of water level on peak temperatures in Devils Hole (and on the ecosystem's suitability for C. diabolis) is an order of magnitude greater than the influence of climate change.

AB - In this paper, the effects of laundering on the flammability of a military uniform fabric were studied. The flame retardant was incorporated into the fiber prior to fiber spinning, and its ability to maintain flame spread and flame retardancy was evaluated by multiple test methods. Vertical flame spread, cone calorimeter, and pyrolysis combustion flow calorimetry were used to determine how many of the flame retardants were removed as a function of wash cycles and if there was any measurable reduction in heat release/fire safety performance that correlated with a loss in flame retardant from washing. Fire testing showed that flame spread performance was maintained within the normal error for the measurement and heat release testing showed very little difference between samples as a function of laundering. Additional analysis via pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry showed that while the flame retardant levels did decrease with washing, enough of the material remained embedded in the fibers so that fire performance could be maintained. The results do indicate that the flame retardant can be washed off, but because of the flame retardant being deeply embedded in the fiber, enough will remain with the fabric after 25 washes to maintain flame retardant performance.

AB - Positive feedbacks influenced by direct and indirect interactions between fire, vegetation, and microclimate can allow pyrophilic and pyrophobic ecosystems to co-occur in the same landscape, resulting in the juxtaposition of flammable and non-flammable vegetation. To quantify the drivers of these feedbacks, we combined measurements of vegetation, fuels, and microclimate with observations of fire spread along ecotonal gradients. We established 113 permanent transects (consisting of 532 plots), each traversing an ecotone between savanna and wetland in the Sandhills of North Carolina, USA. In each plot, we recorded cover of ten plant functional types. We collected surface fuels at a subset of our transects. We continuously monitored microclimate (nine meteorological variables) across 21 representative ecotones. Following prescribed fire, we measured fire spread along each transect. Vegetation structure and microclimate significantly predicted fire spread along the savanna-wetland ecotone. Fire spread was most influenced by vegetation structure, specifically C grass cover, which accounted for 67 % of the variance explained by our model. We have identified the components of the fire, vegetation, and microclimate feedback that control where fires stop under current conditions, but their control should not be considered absolute. For example, when ignited in savanna, prescribed burns continued through wetland vegetation 43 % of the time. The feedback operating within these systems may be relatively weak as compared to other savanna systems. Environmental changes may alter fire spread extent, and with it ecosystem boundaries, or even ecosystem states. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Watershed land-use changes, including urbanization, have caused accelerated soil erosion, which in turn has increased sediment accumulation rates in most aging reservoirs in the mid-western United States (USA), thereby posing a threat to their longevity and productivity. We analyzed three sediment cores from each of two reservoirs in the mid-western USA, the Webber Dam impoundment in Michigan and Goshen Pond in Indiana. Core chronologies were established using Cs and Pb. Concentrations of organic carbon and nitrogen and their stable isotope compositions (δC and δN) were measured to investigate past land-use changes. We used three excess Pb-based (Pb) sedimentation rate models (constant Pb flux and sedimentation, constant rate of supply of Pb and constant initial Pb concentration) to develop core chronologies and compared them to the chronology obtained from the Cs peak. Validation of the excess Pb-based chronology withCs-based chronology requires more than one Pb-based-model. That is, even in one watershed, output from more than one Pb-based model may have to be compared with an independent time marker. We compared C/N ratios, δC and δN among three time horizons in each of the three cores from the reservoirs (corresponding to dates of 1950, 1970 and 2010). Within a reservoir, there can be large differences between cores for a given time horizon, indicating there could be spatial differences in sources of C and N and the processes that influence carbon and nitrogen isotopes. We conclude that multiple sediment cores from reservoirs should be analyzed if carbon and nitrogen isotopes in sediments are to be used for paleoenvironmental inference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Well-informed river management decisions rely on an explicit statement of objectives, repeatable analyses, and a transparent system for assessing trade-offs. These components may then be applied to compare alternative operational regimes for water resource infrastructure (e.g., diversions, locks, and dams). Intra- and inter-annual hydrologic variability further complicates these already complex environmental flow decisions. Effective discharge analysis (developed in studies of geomorphology) is a powerful tool for integrating temporal variability of flow magnitude and associated ecological consequences. Here, we adapt the effectiveness framework to include multiple elements of the natural flow regime (i.e., timing, duration, and rate-of-change) as well as two flow variables. We demonstrate this analytical approach using a case study of environmental flow management based on long-term (60 years) daily discharge records in the Middle Oconee River near Athens, GA, USA. Specifically, we apply an existing model for estimating young-of-year fish recruitment based on flow-dependent metrics to an effective discharge analysis that incorporates hydrologic variability and multiple focal taxa. We then compare three alternative methods of environmental flow provision. Percentage-based withdrawal schemes outcompete other environmental flow methods across all levels of water withdrawal and ecological outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Subyearling fall Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Columbia River basin exhibit a transient rearing strategy and depend on connected shoreline habitats during freshwater rearing. Impoundment has greatly reduced the amount of shallow-water rearing habitat that is exacerbated by the steep topography of reservoirs. Periodic dredging creates opportunities to strategically place spoils to increase the amount of shallow-water habitat for subyearlings while at the same time reducing the amount of unsuitable area that is often preferred by predators. We assessed the amount and spatial arrangement of subyearling rearing habitat in Lower Granite Reservoir on the Snake River to guide future habitat improvement efforts. A spatially explicit habitat assessment was conducted using physical habitat data, two-dimensional hydrodynamic modelling and a statistical habitat model in a geographic information system framework. We used field collections of subyearlings and a common predator [smallmouth bass ( Micropterus dolomieu)] to draw inferences about predation risk within specific habitat types. Most of the high-probability rearing habitat was located in the upper half of the reservoir where gently sloping landforms created low lateral bed slopes and shallow-water habitats. Only 29% of shorelines were predicted to be suitable (probability >0.5) for subyearlings, and the occurrence of these shorelines decreased in a downstream direction. The remaining, less suitable areas were composed of low-probability habitats in unmodified (25%) and riprapped shorelines (46%). As expected, most subyearlings were found in high-probability habitat, while most smallmouth bass were found in low-probability locations. However, some subyearlings were found in low-probability habitats, such as riprap, where predation risk could be high. Given their transient rearing strategy and dependence on shoreline habitats, subyearlings could benefit from habitat creation efforts in the lower reservoir where high-probability habitat is generally lacking.

AB - The Atchafalaya River Basin Floodway (ARBF), a regulated river/floodplain distributary of the Mississippi River, experiences an annual flood pulse that strongly influences floodplain physicochemistry. We developed several metrics to investigate the relationship between the timing and magnitude of the flood pulse and floodplain hypoxia, which in most years is a spatially extensive and temporally prolonged problem in the lower ARBF. Principal components analysis of flood metrics from 2001 to 2009 revealed contrasting flood types (early cool and late warm), but component-based general linear models were unable to predict the magnitude of hypoxia in ARBF water management areas (WMAs). Further analyses based on temperature and geographic information system-determined WMA inundation with generalized additive models (GAMs) revealed WMA-specific patterns of hypoxia, but the likelihood of hypoxia consistently increased when temperatures approached 20°C and inundation rose above 20-30%. Validation with held-out data based on logistic regression indicated that the models constructed with the 2001-2009 temperature and inundation data were able to accurately predict the probabilities of hypoxia in two WMAs based on data collected from 2010 to 2013. The GAMs were an effective tool for visualizing and predicting the probability of hypoxia based on two easily generated parameters. Our analyses indicate that modification of the Atchafalaya River flood pulse could reduce the magnitude of hypoxia within the lower ARBF, subject to engineering (control structure operation) and economic (commercial fisheries production) constraints, by minimizing floodplain inundation after water temperatures reach 20°C.

AB - The Civil Works mission area of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) spans multiple programs including navigation, flood risk management, infrastructure construction and operation, and environmental stewardship–including restoration and regulation of protected waterways. The national scope of USACE activities means that habitat preservation and restoration projects vary in size and type, while often intersecting spatially with projects under other USACE missions. This intersection can create management challenges that must be resolved. Two USACE initiatives, Engineering With Nature and Regional Sediment Management, explore and implement best practices that combine natural processes and restoration needs with management requirements. This article presents four case studies describing initiatives to 1) design, rehabilitate, and manage infrastructure in alignment with natural processes; 2) manage sediments on a regional scale to support the re-use of material removed from navigation channels for coastal and riverine resiliency, and 3) develop landscape-level plans for waterways management to support conservation efforts. The cumulative effect of multiple efforts to restore functionality lost through anthropogenic alterations and long-term geological change is expected to be a more resilient system at the landscape scale. However, challenges remain in quantifying resilience and the benefits provided by ecosystem services that are affected by management actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - It is hypothesized that slow, shallow water habitats benefit larval pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus; however, testing this hypothesis is difficult, given the low number of larval pallid sturgeon present in large rivers. In contrast, relatively large numbers of age-0 shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus have been sampled, providing a potentially useful baseline to assess the importance of slow, shallow water to age-0 sturgeon of both species (hereafter age-0 sturgeon) in the lower Missouri River. Thus, we investigated the potential relationships between the prevalence of shallow water <1.5 m and the age-0 sturgeon catch rates at multiple scales. Age-0 sturgeon were usually sampled in water >1.5 m, and catch rates were usually highest in the upper half [i.e. river kilometre (RKM) 400 to 800] of the lower Missouri River study area, whereas the availability of water <1.5 m was usually highest in the lower half (i.e. RKM 0 to 400). Similarly, there was no relationship between age-0 sturgeon mean catch-per-unit effort and ha/km of water <1.5 m at any studied scale. Our results may suggest that shallow water, as currently defined, may not be a suitable surrogate for assessing efforts to address pallid sturgeon population declines. However, it is still unknown if lack of appropriate habitat is currently limiting pallid sturgeon. Published 2015. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.

AB - The St. John's Bayou water control structure near New Madrid, MO, connects the main Mississippi River to two large backwater areas called the New Madrid Floodway and St. John's Bayou. While this area has been altered, the New Madrid Floodway and St. John's Bayou account for the only substantial portion of the historic Mississippi River floodplain that remains and provides the only critical connection between backwater/floodplain habitat and the river. Fish passage was evaluated during April-December 2010 using ultrasonic telemetry. Stationary receivers were placed strategically at five locations above and below the structure in St. John's Bayou, in the floodway and the outlet to the Mississippi River. A total of 100 individuals representing 14 species were tagged. Total number of detections during an 8-month period was 1 264 717. Fifteen individuals representing five species moved into the Mississippi and Ohio rivers; seven individuals returned to St. John's Bayou. Thirteen of the 14 species moved upstream through the structure. Of the 85 individuals that stayed in the bayou, 29 fish passed through the structure for a total of 92 passage events. The downstream : upstream passage was roughly 50:50. Passage was correlated with river rise, with frequency of passage being higher in spring, but passage occurred each month during the study.

AB - We evaluated the relative effectiveness of continuous versus point electrofishing methods for describing fish assemblage metrics in the lower Atchafalaya River Floodway system, Louisiana. Continuous data were collected by boat electrofishing opposing shores of a 100-m reach for a total of 480 s. Point data were collected in an adjacent 100-m reach by boat electrofishing for 60 s at four points (240 s total) at 25-m intervals on alternating shorelines. We tested for significant differences between the methods with a linear model for species richness and CPUE (fish/min) and a generalized linear model for species diversity. We also compared the length frequencies of Largemouth BassMicropterus salmoidesbetween methods. We found no difference in diversity between methods but significantly higher species richness (mean = 1.46 species) and significantly lower CPUE (mean = –24.63 fish/min) for continuous electrofishing. We found no difference in Largemouth Bass length frequency between methods, but point electrofishing captured more individuals between 300 and 400 mm. Our results indicate that point electrofishing may be an efficient, effective technique for capturing target species and larger individuals that may otherwise avoid capture. When coupled with continuous electrofishing, point electrofishing may bolster assemblage and population size structure data, particularly in shallow, turbid environments.

AB - We present an alternative formulation of the reaction ensemble dissipative particle dynamics (RxDPD) method [M. Lísal, J. K. Brennan, and W. R. Smith, J. Chem. Phys. 125, 16490 (2006)], a mesoscale simulation technique for studying polymer systems in reaction equilibrium. The RxDPD method combines elements of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and reaction ensemble Monte Carlo (RxMC), and is primarily targeted for the prediction of the system composition, thermodynamic properties, and phase behavior of reaction equilibrium polymer systems. The alternative formulation of the RxDPD method is demonstrated by considering a supramolecular diblock copolymer (SDC) melt in which two homopolymers, An and Bm, can reversibly bond at terminal binding sites to form a diblock copolymer, AnBm. We consider the effect of the terminal binding sites and the chemical incompatibility between A- and B-segments on the phase behavior. Both effects are found to strongly influence the resulting phase behavior. Due to the reversible nature of the binding, the SDC melt can be treated as the reaction equilibrium system An+Bm≤=≥AnBm. To simulate the An+Bm≤=≥AnBm melt, the system contains, in addition to full An, Bm, and AnBm polymers, two fractional polymers: one fractional polymer either fAn or fBm, and one fractional polymer fAnBm, which have fractional particles at the ends of the polymer chains. These fractional particles are coupled to the system via a coupling parameter. The time evolution of the system is governed by the DPD equations of motion, accompanied by random changes in the coupling parameter. Random changes in the coupling parameter mimic forward and reverse reaction steps as in the RxMC approach, and they are accepted with a probability derived from... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We present the Stark energy sublevels of Nd3+ ions in GaN grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy as determined by luminescence spectra. We correlate the photoluminescence spectra with transitions from the 4F3/2 excited state to the 4I9/2, 4I11/2, and 4I13/2 multiplets of the Nd3+ ion for above and below bandgap excitation, with the strongest emission occurring at 1.12 eV (1106 nm). We determine a splitting of the 4F3/2 excited state to be 4.1 meV. From photoluminescence excitation spectra, we also identify the Stark sublevels of the upper states 4F5/2, 2H9/2, 4F7/2, 4S3/2, 2G7/2, and 4G5/2. Photoluminescence excitation spectra reveal an optimal excitation energy of 1.48 eV (836 nm). Site-selective spectroscopy studies using combined excitation-emission spectroscopy with confocal microscopy indicate enhanced substantial doping at the Ga site. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We report the demonstration of mechanically flexible quantum dot light emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) of all three primary colors (red, green, and blue). The QD-LEDs have been fabricated over poly(ethylene-terephthalate) substrates and exhibited high brightness, saturated colors, and pronounced flexibility with a critical bending radius of ∼5 mm. The efficiencies of the flexible QD-LEDs are comparable with the devices fabricated on rigid substrates, suggesting the intrinsic flexibility of quantum dot-based optoelectronic devices.

AB - Results of shock-wave experiments with free and prestressed samples of K8 and K14 crown glasses are presented. Controlled confinement pressure on the specimen of around 200 MPa was provided by installing a shrink-fit metal sleeve on the lateral surface of the sample disk. Results of measurements of the free surface velocity histories show that prestressing leads to earlier stopping of the failure wave. Thus, the compressive transverse stress increases the failure threshold that is in agreement with existing criteria of compressive fracture. However, sensitivity of the failure threshold to the confinement stress value is not as high as it could be expected. Measurements of the refractive indexes for the particles from the failure wave zone of recovered glass samples have shown their small increase whereas no index change for particles from the residual zone was found. It has been concluded that irreversible densification makes essential contribution to the mechanism of failure of glasses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper presents a study of anisotropic damage and cracking in a hot isostatically pressed assembly of titanium alloy encapsulated AD-995 ceramic under ballistic impact using the statistical crack mechanics approach. Anisotropy of crack growth in the ceramic is illustrated numerically by examining the growth in crack sizes along three orientations. Comparisons with the experimental measurements of the predicted backsurface profile and the damage (cracking) in the ceramic suggest that the model predictions are consistent with the experimental data. Numerical simulation also indicates that a prestress of roughly 2 kbar (200 MPa) compensates for about 1% of initial porosity in the ceramic. A comparison is made to the Rajendran–Grove ceramic model in EPIC which assumes an isotropic crack distribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - Background: Body armor is credited with increased survival rates in soldiers but the additional axial load may negatively impact the biomechanics of the spine resulting in low back pain. Multiple studies have found that lumbar stabilization programs are superior to generalized programs for patients with chronic low back pain. It is not known if such programs produce objective changes in trunk muscle function with wear of body armor. Hypothesis/Purpose: An eight-week core stability exercise program would result in a larger improvement in physical endurance and abdominal muscle thickness than a control intervention. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an eight-week core stability exercise program on physical endurance and abdominal muscle thickness with and without wear of body armor. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial Methods: Participants (N = 33) were randomized into either the core strengthening exercise group or the control group. Testing included ultrasound imaging of abdominal muscle thickness in hook-lying and standing with and without body armor and timed measures of endurance. Results There were statistically significant group by time interactions for transversus abdominis muscle contraction thickness during standing, both with (p = 0.018) and without body armor (p = 0.038). The main effect for hold-time during the horizontal side-support (p = 0.016) indicated improvement over time regardless of group. There was a significant group by time interaction (p = 0.014) for horizontal side-support hold-time when compliance with the exercise protocol was set at 85%, indicating more improvement in the core stabilization group than in the control group. Conclusion: Performing an eight-week core stabilization exercise program significantly improves transversus abdominis muscle activation in standing and standing with body armor. When compliant with the exercises, such a program may increase trunk strength and muscle endurance. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - A 3-year-old male presented with progressive pruritic red-orange plaques across most of his body with erythema, desquamation, and fissuring of the hands and feet. He was diagnosed with classic juvenile (type III) pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) and treated with oral isotretinoin for 6 months. His skin findings resolved quickly during the treatment period, with residual postinflammatory hypopigmentation resolving within a year. PRP is rare in pediatric patients and standard recommended treatment algorithms for this population are not currently available. Diagnostic and treatment guidelines for PRP are based almost exclusively on case reports or case series, most of which focus on adult patients. The presentation, evaluation, and management of PRP are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The idea of the preoperative anesthesia clinic as a means of examining and treating the patient so that he will arrive in the operating theater as strong and healthy as possible is well established in practice and literature.However, problems in clinic design and execution often result in high patient waiting times, decreased patient and staff satisfaction, decreased patient capacity, and high clinic costs. Although the details of clinic design, outcomes, and satisfaction have been extensively evaluated at civilian hospitals, we have not found corresponding literature addressing these issues specifically within military preoperative evaluation clinics. We find that changing to an appointment-based (versus walk-in) system and eliminating data collection step redundancies will likely result in lower wait times, higher satisfaction, lower per patient costs, and a more streamlined and resource-efficient structure.

AB - Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an evidence-based model that provides high-quality medical education for common and complex diseases through telementoring and comanagement of patients with primary care clinicians. In a one to many knowledge network, the ECHO model helps to bridge the gap between primary care clinicians and specialists by enhancing the knowledge, skills, confidence, and practice of primary care clinicians in their local communities. As a result, patients in rural and urban underserved areas are able to receive best practice care without long waits or having to travel long distances. The ECHO model has been replicated in 43 university hubs in the United States and five other countries. A new replication tool was developed by the Project ECHO Pain team and U.S. Army Medical Command to ensure a high-fidelity replication of the model. The adoption of the tool led to successful replication of ECHO in the Army Pain initiative. This replication tool has the potential to improve the fidelity of ECHO replication efforts around the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Unlabelled: The Eagle Tactical Athlete Program (ETAP) was scientifically developed for the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) to counter unintentional musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs).Purpose: To determine if ETAP would reduce unintentional MSIs in a group of 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Soldiers.Methods: ETAP-trained noncommissioned led physical training. 1,720 Soldiers were enrolled (N = 1,136 experimental group [EXP], N = 584 control group [CON]) with injuries tracked before and after initiation of ETAP. The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes were analyzed and described the anatomic locations, anatomic sub-locations, onset, and injury types. McNemar tests compared the proportions of injured subjects within each group.Results: There was a significant reduction in the proportion of Soldiers with preventable MSIs in the EXP (pre: 213/1,136 (18.8%), post: 180/1,136 (15.8%), p = 0.041) but not in the CON. In addition, there was a significant reduction in stress fractures in the EXP (pre: 14/1,136 (1.2%), post: 5/1,136 (0.4%), p = 0.022) but no significant differences in the CON.Conclusion: The current analysis demonstrated that ETAP reduces preventable MSIs in garrison. The capability of ETAP to reduce injuries confirms the vital role of a scientifically designed training program on force readiness and health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The purpose of this study was to assess inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability of the 2-minute, 90° push-up test as utilized in the Army Physical Fitness Test. Analysis of rater assessment reliability included both total score agreement and agreement across individual push-up repetitions. This study utilized 8 Raters who assessed 15 different videotaped push-up performances over 4 iterations separated by a minimum of 1 week. The 15 push-up participants were videotaped during the semiannual Army Physical Fitness Test. Each Rater randomly viewed the 15 push-up and verbally responded with a "yes" or "no" to each push-up repetition. The data generated were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation as well as the kappa, modified kappa and the intra-class correlation coefficient (3,1). An attribute agreement analysis was conducted to determine the percent of inter-rater and intra-rater agreement across individual push-ups.The results indicated that Raters varied a great deal in assessing push-ups. Over the 4 trials of 15 participants, the overall scores of the Raters varied between 3.0 and 35.7 push-ups. Post hoc comparisons found that there was significant increase in the grand mean of push-ups from trials 1-3 to trial 4 (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant difference among raters over the 4 trials (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation coefficients for inter-rater and intra-rater reliability identified inter-rater reliability coefficients were between 0.10 and 0.97. Intra-rater coefficients were between 0.48 and 0.99. Intra-rater agreement for individual push-up repetitions ranged from 41.8% to 84.8%. The results indicated that the raters failed to assess the same push-up repetition with the same score (below 70% agreement) as well as failed to agree when viewed between raters (29%). Interestingly, as previously mentioned, scores on trial 4 increased significantly which might have been caused by rater drift or that the Raters did not maintain the push-up standard over the trials. It does appear that the final push-up scores received by each participant was a close approximation of actual performance (within 65%) but when assessing physical performance for retention in the Army, a more reliable test might be considered.

AB - The Women in Combat Symposium was held at the Defense Health Headquarters April 29 to May 1, 2014, cohosted by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs and the Consortium for Health and Military Performance. The conference was a call to renew and extend research investment and policy commitment to recognize operational scenarios, requirements, health priorities, and combat-related injury exposures uniquely relevant to the performance and well-being of female Service members. Symposium participants worked in groups to identify knowledge and capability gaps critical to the successful integration, health, and performance of female Service members in combat roles and to develop recommendations for researchers and policy makers to address gaps in three specific areas of concern: Leadership and Peer Behavior, Operational Performance, and Health and Well-Being. Consensus findings are summarized as 20 research gaps and accompanying recommendations. Each represents an opportunity to advance health and performance outcomes and to leverage female Service members' strengths and capacities to the general benefit of all Service members and their families.

AB - This article summarizes presentations from a 2014 United States Department of Defense (DoD) Health Affairs Women in Combat symposium addressing physiological, musculoskeletal injury, and optimized physical training considerations from the operational physical performance section. The symposium was held to provide a state-of-the-science meeting on the U.S. DoD's rescinding of the ground combat exclusion policy opening up combat-centric occupations to women. Physiological, metabolic, body composition, bone density, cardiorespiratory fitness, and thermoregulation differences between men and women were briefly reviewed. Injury epidemiological data are presented within military training and operational environments demonstrating women to be at a higher risk for musculoskeletal injuries than men. Physical training considerations for improved muscle strength and power, occupational task performance, load carriage were also reviewed. Particular focus of this article was given to translating physiological and epidemiological findings from the literature on these topics toward actionable guidance and policy recommendations for military leaders responsible for military physical training doctrine: (1) inclusion of resistance training with special emphasis on strength and power development (i.e., activation of high-threshold motor units and recruitment of type II high-force muscle fibers), upper-body strength development, and heavy load carriage, (2) moving away from "field expediency" as the major criteria for determining military physical training policy and training implementation, (3) improvement of load carriage ability with emphasis placed on specific load carriage task performance, combined with both resistance and endurance training, and (4) providing greater equipment resources, coaching assets, and increased training time dedicated to physical readiness training.

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

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

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

AB - Classically, the exponent of a group is the least common multiple of the orders of its elements. This notion was generalized by Etingof and Gelaki to Hopf algebras. Kashina, Sommerhäuser, and Zhu later observed that there is a strong connection between exponents and Frobenius–Schur indicators. In this article, we introduce the notion of twisted exponents and show there is a similar relationship between the twisted exponent and the twisted Frobenius–Schur indicators defined in previous work of the authors. In particular, we exhibit a new formula for the twisted indicators and use it to prove periodicity and rationality statements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We present first-principles calculations on the bandgap of graphene on a layer of hexagonal boron nitride in three different stacking configurations. Relative stability of the configurations is identified and bandgap tunability is demonstrated through the application of an external, perpendicularly applied electric field. We carefully examine the bandgap's sensitivity to both magnitude of the applied field as well as separation between the graphene and hexagonal boron nitride layers. Features of the band structure are examined and configuration-dependent relationships between the field and bandgap are revealed and elucidated through the atomprojected density of states. These findings suggest the potential for opening and modulating a bandgap in graphene as high as several hundred meV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We describe an integrated opto-aerodynamic system and demonstrate that it enables us to trap absorbing airborne micron-size particles from air, hold them and then release them, and to repeat this sequence many times as would be appropriate for continuous sampling of particles from air. The key parts of the system are a conical photophoretic optical trap and a counter-flow coaxial-double-nozzle that concentrates and then slows particles for trapping. This technology should be useful for on-line applications that require monitoring (by single particle analyses) of a series of successively arriving particles (e.g., from the atmosphere or pharmaceutical or other production facilities) where the total sampling time may last from minutes to days, but where each particle must be held for a short time for measurements (e.g., Raman scattering).

AB - Fabrication of p-Si(111) layers with Ti levels well above the solid solubility limit was achieved via ion implantation of 15 keV 48Ti+ at doses of 1012 to 1016 cm-2 followed by pulsed laser melting using a Nd:YAG laser (FWHM=6 ns) operating at 355 nm. All implanted layers were examined using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, and only the 1016 cm-2 Ti implant dose showed evidence of Ti clustering in a microstructure with a pattern of Ti-rich zones. The liquid phase diffusivity and diffusive velocity of Ti in Si were estimated to be 9×10-4 cm²/s and (2+0.5)×104 m/s, respectively. Using these results the morphological stability limit for planar resolidification of Si:Ti was evaluated, and the results indicate that attaining sufficient concentrations of Ti in Si to reach the nominal Mott transition in morphologically stable plane-front solidification should occur only for velocities so high as to exceed the speed limits for crystalline regrowth in Si(111).

AB - An adaptive loop transfer recovery (LTR) approach for uncertain systems using the Kalman filter-based disturbance accommodating control scheme is presented. This study shows that the full LTR property of disturbance accommodating control is invariant to system uncertainties and external disturbances acting on the system. Also presented here is an adaptive LTR scheme, where the system process noise intensity matrix is updated online to achieve full LTR. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the superiority of the approach compared to the traditional linear quadratic regulator/LTR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Military Children who have experienced multiple deployments of one or both parents are more likely to have emotional and behavioral difficulties compared with their civilian peers (e.g., Chandra et al., 2010). The U.S. Army Medical Command has tasked the Child, Adolescent and Family Behavioral Health Office (CAF-BHO) to develop programs to address the behavioral health (BH) needs of Army Children and Families. This article will describe the efforts of the CAF-BHO Training Section to disseminate and implement an evidence based practice training curriculum for Army Child and Family Behavioral Health Providers. Specifically, this article will detail: (a) the decision making strategy used to identify the training protocol for dissemination, (b) adaptations to the training program and treatment protocol to fit a Military context, and (c) efforts to implement, maximize and sustain utilization of evidence-based practices by Military BH providers over a large geographical area with limited resources.

AB - Background Avian influenza viruses may cause severe disease in a variety of domestic animal species worldwide, with high mortality in chickens and turkeys. To reduce the information gap about prevalence of these viruses in animals in Uganda, this study was undertaken. Results Influenza A virus prevalence by RT-PCR was 1.1% (45/4,052) while seroprevalence by ELISA was 0.8% (24/2,970). Virus prevalence was highest in domestic ducks (2.7%, 17/629) and turkeys (2.6%, 2/76), followed by free-living waterfowl (1.3%, 12/929) and swine (1.4%, 7/511). A lower proportion of chicken samples (0.4%, 7/1,865) tested positive. No influenza A virus was isolated. A seasonal prevalence of these viruses in waterfowl was 0.7% (4/561) for the dry and 2.2% (8/368) for the wet season. In poultry, prevalence was 0.2% (2/863) for the dry and 1.4% (24/1,713) for the wet season, while that of swine was 0.0% (0/159) and 2.0% (7/352) in the two seasons, respectively. Of the 45 RT-PCR positive samples, 13 (28.9%) of them were H5 but none was H7. The 19 swine sera positive for influenza antibodies by ELISA were positive for H1 antibodies by HAI assay, but the subtype(s) of ELISA positive poultry sera could not be determined. Antibodies in the poultry sera could have been those against subtypes not included in the HAI test panel. Conclusions The study has demonstrated occurrence of influenza A viruses in animals in Uganda. The results suggest that increase in volumes of migratory waterfowl in the country could be associated with increased prevalence of these viruses in free-living waterfowl and poultry.

AB - When explaining the reasons for others' behavior, perceivers often overemphasize underlying dispositions and personality traits over the power of the situation, a tendency known as the fundamental attribution error. One possibility is that this bias results from the spontaneous processing of others' mental states, such as their momentary feelings or more enduring personality characteristics. Here, we use fMRI to test this hypothesis. Participants read a series of stories that described a target's ambiguous behavior in response to a specific social situation and later judged whether that act was attributable to the target's internal dispositions or to external situational factors. Neural regions consistently associated with mental state inference--especially, the medial pFC--strongly predicted whether participants later made dispositional attributions. These results suggest that the spontaneous engagement of mentalizing may underlie the biased tendency to attribute behavior to dispositional over situational forces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A novel adsorbent was developed impregnating graphite nanocarbon (GNC) into alginate beads (AB) for efficient cobalt (Co(II)) removal from an aqueous solution. Physicochemical and spectroscopic properties of graphite nanocarbon–impregnated alginate beads (ABGNC) were characterized and compared with those of AB. Co(II) adsorption on ABGNC was quantitatively evaluated by determining kinetics and thermodynamics parameters. The Co(II) adsorption capacity onto ABGNC was highest at neutral pH condition. Increasing the temperature from 288 to 318 K resulted in a 2.5-fold higher Co(II) adsorption onto AB, while thermal dependence of Co(II) adsorption on ABGNC was not found. Kinetic studies showed an applicability of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for both AB and ABGNC. Monolayer adsorption was the dominant mechanism of Co(II) adsorption on both AB and ABGNC. Thermodynamic studies revealed that Co(II) adsorption was an endothermic and spontaneous process. Positive values of entropy indicate randomness in solid/aqueous phases, and mean free energy (Ea) fits in the range of chemisorption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Reliable simulation of onshore-offshore sandbar migration under various wave and current conditions has remained a challenging task over the last three decades because wave-undertow interaction in the surf zone has been neglected in the existing numerical models. This paper presents the development of an improved sandbar migration model using a phase- and depth-resolving modeling approach. This new model includes interactions between waves and undertow and an empirical time-dependent turbulent eddy viscosity formulation that accounts for the phase dependency of turbulence on flow velocity and acceleration. The authors demonstrate through extensive model-data comparisons that these enhancements resulted in significant improvements in the predictive capability of the cross-shore sandbar migration beneath moderate and energetic waves. The comparison showed wave-undertow interaction playing a crucial role in cross-shore sediment transport. Waves increased the undertow-induced suspended-load flux during offshore sandbar migration, and a weak undertow suppressed the wave-induced onshore bed-load transport during onshore sandbar migration. The proposed empirical time-dependent turbulent eddy viscosity significantly improved the prediction of onshore-directed bed-load transport during onshore sandbar migration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Brevetoxins are a family of ladder-frame polyether toxins produced during blooms of the marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Consumption of fish exposed to K. brevis blooms can lead to the development of neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. The toxic effects of brevetoxins are due to activation of voltage-sensitive sodium channels (VSSCs) in cell membranes. Binding of toxins has historically been measured using a radioligand competition assay that is fraught with difficulty. In this study, we developed a novel fluorescence-based binding assay for the brevetoxin receptor. Several fluorophores were conjugated to polyether brevetoxin-2 and used as the labeled ligand. Brevetoxin analogs were able to compete for binding with the fluorescent ligands. This assay was qualified against the standard radioligand receptor assay for the brevetoxin receptor. Furthermore, the fluorescence-based assay was used to determine relative concentrations of toxins in raw extracts of K. brevis culture, and to determine ciguatoxin affinity to site 5 of VSSCs. The fluorescence-based assay was quicker, safer, and far less expensive. As such, this assay can be used to replace the current radioligand assay and will be a vital tool for future experiments examining the binding affinity of various ligands for site 5 on sodium channels.

AB - The last, self-sustaining population of Whooping Cranes (Grus americana), the Aransas-Wood Buffalo population, has overwintered almost exclusively along the Gulf Coast of Texas, USA, in and around the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge during recent decades. In late autumn and winter 2011-2012, Whooping Cranes were observed several hundred kilometers from coastal wintering grounds, with at least 13 Whooping Cranes in central Texas, south-central Kansas, and central Nebraska from November 2011 to early March 2012. Notably, family groups of Whooping Cranes were observed around a Texas reservoir, Granger Lake, over a 3-month period. An extreme drought, coupled with record warm temperatures in the southern and central United States, may have interacted to influence behaviors and distributions of Whooping Cranes during winter 2011-2012. Such observations suggest that Whooping Cranes may be more opportunistic in use of wintering habitat and/or more likely to re-colonize inland historical sites than previously thought. Continued documentation of Whooping Cranes overwintering in areas other than the Texas coast and/or altering timing of migration will be important for protection and management of additional winter habitat as well as for informing population estimates for the Aransas-Wood Buffalo Population of Whooping Cranes.

AB - The strain dependence of the electronic properties of bilayer sheets of 2H-MoS2 is studied using ab initio simulations based on density functional theory. An indirect band gap for bilayer MoS2 is observed for all variations of strain along the basal plane. Several transitions for the indirect band gap are observed for various strains for the bilayer structure. The variation of the band gap and the carrier effective masses for the holes and the electrons for the bilayer MoS2 structure under conditions of uniaxial strain, biaxial strain, as well as uniaxial stress is investigated.

AB - Background: Bacterial superantigens are virulence factors that cause toxic shock syndrome. Here, the genome-wide, temporal response of mice to lethal intranasal staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) challenge was investigated in six tissues. Results: The earliest responses and largest number of affected genes occurred in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), spleen, and lung tissues with the highest content of both T-cells and monocyte/macrophages, the direct cellular targets of SEB. In contrast, the response of liver, kidney, and heart was delayed and involved fewer genes, but revealed a dominant genetic program that was seen in all 6 tissues. Many of the 85 uniquely annotated transcripts participating in this shared genomic response have not been previously linked to SEB. Nine of the 85 genes were subsequently confirmed by RT-PCR in every tissue/organ at 24 h. These 85 transcripts, up-regulated in all tissues, annotated to the interferon (IFN)/antiviral-response and included genes belonging to the DNA/RNA sensing system, DNA damage repair, the immunoproteasome, and the ER/metabolic stress-response and apoptosis pathways. Overall, this shared program was identified as a type I and II interferon (IFN)-response and the promoters of these genes were highly enriched for IFN regulatory matrices. Several genes whose secreted products induce the IFN pathway were up-regulated at early time points in PBMCs, spleen, and/or lung. Furthermore, IFN regulatory factors including Irf1, Irf7 and Irf8, and Zbp1, a DNA sensor/transcription factor that can directly elicit an IFN innate immune response, participated in this host-wide SEB signature. Conclusion: Global gene-expression changes across multiple organs implicated a host-wide IFN-response in SEB-induced death. Therapies aimed at IFN-associated innate immunity may improve outcome in toxic shock syndromes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Alveolar macrophages (AMs) phagocytose Bacillus anthracis following inhalation and induce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines to mediate the activation of innate immunity. Ames, the virulent strain of B. anthracis, contains two plasmids that encode the antiphagocytic poly-γ-d-glutamic acid capsule and the lethal toxin. The attenuated Sterne strain of B. anthracis, which lacks the plasmid encoding capsule, is widely adapted as a vaccine strain. Although differences in the outcome of infection with the two strains may have originated from the presence or absence of an anti-phagocytic capsule, the disease pathogenesis following infection will be manifested via the host responses, which is not well understood. To gain understanding of the host responses at cellular level, a microarray analysis was performed using primary rhesus macaque AMs infected with either Ames or Sterne spores. Notably, 528 human orthologs were identified to be differentially expressed in AMs infected with either strain of the B. anthracis. Meta-analyses revealed genes differentially expressed in response to B. anthracis infection were also induced upon infections with multiple pathogens such as Francisella Novicida or Staphylococcus aureus. This suggests the existence of a common molecular signature in response to pathogen infections. Importantly, the microarray and protein expression data for certain cytokines, chemokines and host factors provide further insights on how cellular processes such as innate immune sensing pathways, anti-apoptosis versus apoptosis may be differentially modulated in response to the virulent or vaccine strain of B. anthracis. The reported differences may account for the marked difference in pathogenicity between these two strains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Soviet satellites in 1957 galvanised air force interest in defending and exploiting ‘aerospace’ as an extended realm of operations. The Dynamic Soarer glider programme, catapulted to significance by air force reaction to Sputnik, became the standard bearer for aerospace thought in the late 1950s. Dwight Eisenhower's administration, however, did not see the weaponisation of space as inevitable or desirable. Convinced that public insistence for visible space accomplishments made elimination or cuts to projects politically difficult, Eisenhower's administration used organisational decisions and policy strictures to impede development of the Dyna-Soar and to prevent aerospace paladins from commandeering US space policy.

AB - Although often eagerly anticipated, reunification after deployment poses challenges for families, including adjusting to the parent–soldier's return, re-establishing roles and routines, and the potentially necessary accommodation to combat-related injuries or psychological effects. Fourteen male service members, previously deployed to a combat zone, parent to at least one child under seven years of age, were interviewed about their relationships with their young children. Principles of grounded theory guided data analysis to identify key themes related to parenting young children after deployment. Participants reported significant levels of parenting stress and identified specific challenges, including difficulty reconnecting with children, adapting expectations from military to family life, and coparenting. Fathers acknowledged regret about missing an important period in their child's development and indicated a strong desire to improve their parenting skills. They described a need for support in expressing emotions, nurturing, and managing their tempers. Results affirm the need for support to military families during reintegration and demonstrate that military fathers are receptive to opportunities to engage in parenting interventions. Helping fathers understand their children's behavior in the context of age-typical responses to separation and reunion may help them to renew parent–child relationships and reengage in optimal parenting of their young children.

AB - This follow-up pilot study tested whether Transcendental Meditation® (TM) practice would significantly reduce symptoms of posttraumatic stress in Congolese refugees within 10 days after instruction. The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian (PCL-C) was administered to nonmatched waitlist controls from a previous study 3 times over a 90-day period. Within 8 days of the third baseline measure, 11 refugees were taught TM, then retested 10 days and 30 days after instruction. Average PCL-C scores dropped 29.9 points from 77.9 to 48.0 in 10 days, then dropped another 12.7 points to 35.3 at 30 days. Effect size at 10 days was high ( d = 4.05). There were no adverse events. All participants completed the study and were able to practice TM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Previous studies have shown that combat exposures and deployment-related stressors have negative implications on soldiers' postdeployment health and well-being. The current study aimed to examine the individual and combined effects of organizational and social support on the success of soldiers' postdeployment reintegration. In this study, 2,922 U.S. soldiers were surveyed from a brigade combat team at 90-120 days postdeployment, measuring soldiers' perceptions of postdeployment transition home, occupational and social support, stigma and barriers associated with accessing behavioral health care, and previous behavioral health care. Logistic regression analysis indicated that soldiers reporting a positive postdeployment transition home ( n = 1,776; 61%) was significantly associated with leadership perceptions, adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.02, 1.39], unit cohesion, AOR = 1.29, 95% CI [1.09, 1.53], personal support, AOR = 1.37, 95% CI [1.23, 1.52], perceived levels of stigma, AOR = 0.73, 95% CI [0.65, 0.82] barriers to accessing care, AOR = 0.86, 95% CI [0.76, 0.97], and previously accessing behavioral health care, AOR = 0.34, 95% CI [0.28, 0.43]. These findings suggest redeploying soldiers may benefit from programs aimed at improving self-efficacy and coping through fostering occupational and social support, with special concern taken to reduce stigma and barriers to care across the Army.

AB - In this study, we proffer an algorithmic, geospatial-based decision-support methodology that assists military decision-makers in determining which aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC) assets to launch after receiving an injury location, given knowledge only of terrain, aircraft location, and aircraft capabilities. The objective is for military medical planners to use this decision-support tool (1) to improve real-time situational awareness by visualization of MEDEVAC coverage, showing which areas can be reached within established timelines; (2) to support medical planning by visualizing the impact of changes in the medical footprint to the MEDEVAC coverage; and (3) to support decision-making by providing a time-sorted list of MEDEVAC asset packages to select from, given the location of the patients. This same geospatial-based decision tool can be used for proper emplacement of evacuation assets such that the theater is covered within a truly representative I -hour response time. We conclude with a discussion of applicability of this tool in medical force structure planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Soldiers must perform a variety of physical tasks that the civilian population does not. The Modified Oswestry Disability Index (M-ODI) is the most widely used measure of function in patients with low back pain but does not include military tasks. The Military Low Back Pain Questionnaire (MBQ) was developed by military Physical Therapists to include tasks such as wearing body armor. The purpose of this study was to provide preliminary evidence for the reliability, responsiveness, and validity of the MBQ in nondeployed Soldiers. The MBQ had good reliability compared to the M-ODI. The inter-rater correlation coefficient for the M-ODI was 0.79 and 0.75 for the MBQ. Cronbach's alpha was 0.75 and 0.85 for the M-ODI and MBQ, respectively. The minimal detectable change for the M-ODI was 21.03 and 22.97 for the MBQ. Responsiveness was assessed using a global rating of change; area under the curve for the M-ODI was 0.82 and 0.90 for the MBQ. The correlation between the M-ODI and the MBQ was r = 0.80 indicating good concurrent validity. The MBQ was as reliable as the M-ODI in an Army population. There were trends in the psychometrics suggesting the MBQ may be more sensitive to change than the M-ODI in this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The strength of two coarse-grained (grain size > 200 μm) cubic ceramics, a magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) and an AlON, along with a fine-grained (1.5 μm) MgAl2O4, was determined by conducting a series of four-point and equibiaxial flexure tests on specimens of different sizes. Weibull strength size scaling revealed a linear relationship on a log-log plot between average flexure strength and effective specimen area for the fine-grained spinel, but a nonlinear relationship for both coarse-grained materials. Initial fractography showed that each material had a single flaw population limiting the strength over the entire specimen size range, which does not account for the nonlinear size scaling relationship in the two coarse-grained materials. However, further fractography revealed that in both materials there was an initial flaw and a critical flaw. The former appears to be machining/polishing damage that started the fracture process while the latter was a cleaved grain in AlON or a cracked grain boundary in the HP/ HIP spinel that lead to fracture of the specimen. The difference between the initial and critical flaw size coupled with a detailed analysis of the strength as a function of test specimen thickness accounted for the nonlinear strength size scaling relationship. As a result, strength values obtained using thin test specimens can lead to an erroneous strength prediction for large components made of these ceramics. The implication of these findings is that strength tests must be conducted using appropriately thick specimens to obtain a representative strength value. If appropriately thick specimens cannot be tested, then fractography must be conducted to determine the flaw size. If the flaw size is sufficiently large, compared with the specimen thickness, then the strength must be adjusted according to a stress field correction factor to obtain a more accurate strength value.

AB - We develop a nonlinear thermodynamic model for multilayer ferroelectric heterostructures that takes into account electrostatic and electromechanical interactions between layers. We concentrate on the effect of relative layer fractions and in-plane thermal stresses on dielectric properties of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3-, BaTiO3-, and PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 (PZT)-SrTiO3 (STO) multilayers on Si and c-sapphire. We show that dielectric properties of such multilayers can be significantly enhanced by tailoring the growth/processing temperature and the STO layer fraction. Our computations show that large tunabilities (∼90% at 400 kV/cm) are possible in carefully designed barium strontium titanate-STO and PZT-STO even on Si for which there exist substantially large in-plane strains.

AB - This paper presents the results of recent ground shock experiments conducted by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center to further investigate the adequacy of the coupling factor approach to shallow-buried or near-surface detonations. Comparisons between these recent experimental results and results of numerical simulations of the ground shock propagation in soil are presented. It was found that the coupling factor curve currently adopted in design of buried structures does not accurately represent the actual ground shock propagation in soil and that different coupling factor curves are needed for different physical quantities of interest in design. The results presented in this paper also suggest that the coupling factor curves are functions of several parameters in addition to the depth of burial and that numerical simulations can capture reasonably well the ground shock propagation of soil stresses and particle velocities.

AB - During fatigue damage accumulation, cracks propagate through the material leading to catastrophic failure. As the cracks propagate, the natural frequency lowers, leading to a changing stress state. A new method has been developed where the damage accumulation rate is computed in the frequency domain using Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM), stress intensity, and the natural frequency. A finite element model was developed to predict the stress intensity and natural frequency during damage accumulation. Validation of the LEFM technique was done through comparison to experimental data. Reasonably good correlations between the FEM and the analytic model were achieved for the stress intensity and natural frequency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Researchers often employ radio telemetry to locate study animals efficiently, but the time required to locate individuals can make monitoring large populations difficult and costly. In 2010-2011 we located nesting ornate box turtles (Terrapene ornata) in a large group of radio-tagged animals. To minimize search efforts, we investigated whether automated radio telemetry and the signal change method could be used to identify nesting activity before locating animals. The signal change method relies on the principle that any movement of a radio transmitter, including minor changes in orientation, can strongly affect the intensity of the transmitter's signal at a stationary receiving station. Using video recordings of free-ranging radio-tagged turtles, we confirmed that transmitter signal strength values can be analyzed to identify periods of box turtle activity. Early in the 2010 nesting season, automated telemetry observations indicated that some females engaged in nocturnal activity. Previous reports indicate that ornate box turtles often nest at night but are otherwise inactive after dark. Based upon this information and relatively little indication of nocturnal activity by males, we hypothesized that nocturnal activity corresponded to nesting. We subsequently monitored female nighttime activity in near real time, hand-tracked four night-active individuals, and found three of these turtles nesting. In 2011 we again selectively hand-tracked night-active females and located nests for 12 of 18 study animals, which approximates the expected annual reproductive rate for our population. We demonstrate that the signal change method can be used to identify nesting activity in ornate box turtles and suggest this method may be of use in other species that nest outside of their normal activity periods.

AB - The feeding habitats of young-of-year river sturgeon Scaphirhynchus spp. from the Lower Mississippi River were evaluated. Seventy specimens collected between 2001 and 2010 (99%: 2006-2010) were dissected and gut contents analyzed. The macrohabitats and habits associated with sturgeon prey items (primarily benthic macroinvertebrates) were used to make inferences about habitat use by young-of-year river stnrgeon. These findings indicate that young river sturgeon inhabiting the Lower Mississippi River feed primarily over sandy benthos, most likely in channel habitats. The majority of prey items (64.0%) consumed by young-of-year river sturgeon belong to a single subgroup of Chironomidae (Diptera: Chironominae: Harnischia complex) of which several genera, including Chernovskiia, Cryptochironomus, Gillotia, Paracladopelma, Robackia, and Saetheria, are known to be primary inhabitants of this macrohabitat.

AB - The Fort Carson, CO, Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) complex is a proposed 60-building development originally planned as a grouping of individual structures, each with its own boilers and chillers. None were to be engineered to share energy resources with neighboring structures. After the initial planning for the CAB, the US Army named Fort Carson as one of eight pilot net zero installations for energy use as a part of the Army's overall effort to conserve resources. Fort Carson's goal for the CAB complex at Butts Army Airfield consequently became the construction of a "net zero ready" community of buildings designed to optimize energy performance, water conservation, and waste diversion. The US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) conducted a study to assess the potential for synergy between CAB facilities energy needs and the feasibility of building a Central Energy Plant (CEP) that would produce hot and chilled water to be used for heating and cooling throughout the CAB complex, and that could also generate electricity through cogeneration. This paper describes the results of the study and different alternatives considered, as well as energy requirements and specific technologies that have been applied to this new generation of buildings.

AB - The increasing world-wide emphasis on net zero (NZ) or low-energy communities (LECs) has brought with it a concomitant requirement for high quality technical analysis and optimization to support planners. The authors' experience in energy planning for military installations has identified best practice processes as well as common analysis tasks performed by LEC planners. Requirements for data collection, modeling, optimization, and organization of inputs and results are significant, leading to higher cost, long study times, and limits on the number of alternative scenarios that can feasibly be considered. In addition, changes in data or scope can lead to considerable rework, leading to further delay and potential for the introduction of errors. This paper describes a computational framework and reference implementation for LEC analysis and optimization designed to automate many of the repetitive and time-consuming organizational, modeling, and optimization tasks involved in LEC planning. The framework incorporates whole building simulation, community-wide optimization of distribution and supply, geospatial data, and an overall approach to data organization that permits implementers to use their choice of modeling software. A reference implementation of the framework, the NZ planner was developed and tested at four Department of Defense installations. Results show decreased time to set up studies and to conduct simulations and optimization. This paper provides examples and discusses trade-offs between process steps that should be automated and those that are more appropriate for human judgment and experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The influence of increasing oil prices, the effects of climate change, and the desire to become independent of fossil fuel imports have stimulated many countries and their communities to set ambitious goals to reduce energy use and to increase the relative amount of energy derived from renewable energy sources. The most ambitious goal is to become net-zero relative to fossil fuels or to employ the concept of the energy neutral community/campus. Essentially, both terms denote an energy configuration in which the amount of fossil fuel-based energy used over the course of a year is equal to the amount of energy derived from renewable energy sources that is exported from the community/campus to a power or thermal grid for external users' consumption. Under ideal circumstances, the community consumes no fossil fuel-based energy, only energy generated from renewable sources; this would require the availability of long-term thermal and power storage systems. The achievement of such energy goals in economical and physically realistic ways would require new, unconventional approaches with respect to organization, implementation, funding, and technical decisions. The technical approach involves the emphasis on energy conservation, implementation of energy efficiency measures, use of waste energy streams, reduction of fossil fuel-based energy (if needed), and/or complementation or replacement of fossil fuel-based energy with energy derived from renewable sources. This paper explores approaches used by some of the most innovative International Energy Agency (IEA) countries to develop an ideal road map and transition process to reach net-zero or near net-zero energy targets; analyzes best practices in different countries to provide the best examples of net-zero applications across the globe; and, based on an analysis of solutions using front-running methods and technologies, makes recommendations for energy master planning towards net-zero communities and campuses.

AB - The feasibility of using face bricks as an alternative to concrete or asphalt paving was evaluated for lightweight and heavyweight vehicle traffic. Paving materials and equipment can be scarce in expeditionary environments, so the use of bricks recycled from existing infrastructure may provide a local resource for constructing pavements suitable for meeting the military's mission requirements. The field testing documented in this paper follows a laboratory study in which a series of strength and characterization tests were conducted on selected face bricks and brick pavers. The success of the laboratory testing led to the full-scale field evaluation of the face and paver bricks trafficked with a commercial dump truck load of approximately 24.5 t and then trafficked with a 20.4 t single-wheel C-17 aircraft load cart. The field testing indicated brick-paved roads constructed with a moderately high-strength base are capable of sustaining more than 10 000 passes of truck traffic without failure. The same brick-paved roads were not capable of withstanding C-17 aircraft traffic. Further results from the evaluation are presented and include material characterization test data, rut depth measurements, wheel path and cross-section profile measurements, instrumentation response data, and forensic assessments.

AB - Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Center has developed a very lightweight cryocooler for tactical and space cooling applications. A prototype pulse tube cryocooler was built and tested, utilizing a new microcompressor with a mass of less than 200 grams. The "Oxford type" compressor uses the same long-life features of Lockheed Martin's larger compressors: long-life flexure-bearing clearance-seal technology, with a simple moving magnet configuration designed both for low-cost tactical applications and for long-life space applications. The compressor operated flawlessly with electrical input power as high as 25 W. Test data will be presented for the prototype single-stage pulse tube cooler. Predictions for the cooling capability of optimized coldheads under a variety of cold tip temperatures and heat loads will also be presented. A first-article microcryocooler with an optimized coldhead is slated to be integrated into a highperformance infrared (IR) camera system by the end of 2013. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A few countries permit women to serve in combat roles, but their long term performance in these positions has not been reported. The incidences of overuse injuries and attrition of 85male and 235 female recruits in a light infantry brigade was followed in a three year prospective study. Females were shorter (162 cm, CI 161-163 cm) than males (174 cm, CI 173-176), had more body fat (18.9 kg, CI 18.2-19.6 kg) than males (12.6 kg, 11.3-13.8 kg), had lower VO2max (36.8mL·min-1·kg-1, CI 35.8-37.78mL·min-1·kg-1) than males (50.48mL·min-1·kg-1, CI 48.4 to 52.48mL·min-1·kg-1), had more stress fractures (21.0%, 95% CI 16.2-26.5%) than males (2.3%, CI 0.3-8.2%), and had more anterior knee pain (41.2%, CI 34.9-47.7%) than males (24.7%, CI 16.0-35.2%).Three-year attrition was 28% CI 22-34% for females and 37% CI 26-48% for males. The females in this study successfully served as light infantry soldiers. Their lower fitness and high incidence of overuse injuries might impede service as regular infantry soldiers.

AB - Objectives: Intraosseous (IO) access, enabling the rapid administration of epinephrine during cardiac arrest (CA), is crucial in promoting optimal postresuscitation outcomes in patients with poor vascular access. There is a question whether IO-administered epinephrine is equivalent to intravenously administered epinephrine during CA. Methods: The question guiding this evidence-based review was as follows: in adults suffering CA given epinephrine via the 10 route, what is the resulting serum concentration of the drug compared to when administered intravenously? A search was conducted and the evidence appraised and leveled. Results: Four animal studies met the inclusion criteria. The sources showed no definitive evidence supporting equivalence between intravenous and 10 epinephrine administered during CA. Intravenously administered epinephrine provides increased and faster appearing serum concentrations than IO-administered epinephrine. Evidence indicated epinephrine given via the sternal 10 route more closely approaches equivalence with intravenously administered epinephrine than when administered by the tibial 10 route. Conclusions: The clinician should consider using proximal 10 infusion sites such as the sternum or humérus when administering advanced cardiac life support drugs to rapidly achieve maximal therapeutic concentrations. Further studies are needed to determine the differences seen when epinephrine is administered by these routes during CA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The dose-response relationship between biomechanical variables and the magnitude of external loads is unclear. The use of different load distributions (e.g., pack types) may confound results because of changes in torso center of mass. Therefore, we examined the relationship between load magnitude and sagittal plane lower extremity mechanics of Soldiers walking with two symmetrically distributed loads. Fourteen Soldiers marched on a force-sensing treadmill at 1.34 m/s for 10 minutes with no load (BW_00) and while wearing vest-borne loads of 15 kg (BW_15) and 55 kg (BW_55). The effects of the loads on sagittal plane joint angles and moments were compared using 1-way repeated measures analyses of variance. Compared with BW00, knee extension moment increased with the 15- and the 55-kg loads (both p < 0.003), confirming previously reported load-related biomechanical responses. Knee moment increases during early stance appeared to be the primary means by which the lower extremity counteracted BW_15 during early stance; in contrast, hip extensors and ankle dorsiflexors appeared to be the primary muscular efforts responsible for propulsion during late stance. Findings elucidated the effects of load magnitude on lower extremity mechanics without postural changes that result from pack-related shifts in torso center of mass. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A fundamental understanding of the surface chemistry of chemical warfare agents is needed to fully predict the interaction of these toxic molecules with militarily relevant materials, catalysts, and environmental surfaces. For example, rules for predicting the surface chemistry of agents can be applied to the creation of next generation decontaminants, reactive coatings, and protective materials for the warfighter. Here, we describe a multifunctional ultra-high vacuum instrument for conducting comprehensive studies of the adsorption, desorption, and surface chemistry of chemical warfare agents on model and militarily relevant surfaces. The system applies reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry to study adsorption and surface reactions of chemical warfare agents. Several novel components have been developed to address the unique safety and sample exposure challenges that accompany the research of these toxic, often very low vapor pressure, compounds. While results of vacuum-based surface science techniques may not necessarily translate directly to environmental processes, learning about the fundamental chemistry will begin to inform scientists about the critical aspects that impact real-world applications.

AB - The maximum blade loading capability of a coaxial, lift-offset rotor is investigated using a rotorcraft configuration designed in the context of short-haul, medium-size civil and military missions. The aircraft was sized for a 6600-lb payload and a range of 300 nm. The rotor planform and twist were optimized for hover and cruise performance. For the present rotor performance calculations, the collective pitch angle is progressively increased up to and through stall with the shaft angle set to zero. The effects of lift offset on rotor lift, power, controls, and blade airloads and structural loads are examined. The maximum lift capability of the coaxial rotor increases as lift offset increases and extends well beyond the McHugh lift boundary as the lift potential of the advancing blades are fully realized. A parametric study is conducted to examine the differences between the present coaxial rotor and the McHugh rotor in terms of maximum lift capabilities and to identify important design parameters that define the maximum lift capability of the rotor. The effects of lift offset on rotor blade airloads and structural loads are also investigated. Flap bending moment increases substantially as lift offset increases to carry the hub roll moment even at low collective values. The magnitude of flap bending moment is dictated by the lift-offset value (hub roll moment) but is less sensitive to collective and speed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Neurocognitive assessment tools (NCAT) are commonly used to screen for changes in cognitive functioning following a mild traumatic brain injury and to assist with a return to duty decision. As such, it is critical to determine if performance on the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) is adversely affected by operationally-relevant field environments. Differences in DANA performance between a thermoneutral environment and three simulated operationally-relevant field environments across the thermal stress continuum were calculated for 16 healthy U.S. Navy service members. Practice effects associated with brief test-retest intervals were calculated within each environmental condition. There were no significant differences between the simulated environmental conditions suggesting that performance on the DANA Brief is not impacted by thermal stress. Additionally, there were no significant differences in performance within each simulated environmental condition associated with repeated administrations.

AB - Purpose Of Review: We present data comparing whole blood with blood components and summarize the data that support increased availability of whole blood for patients with life-threatening bleeding.Recent Findings: Recent data indicate that whole-blood transfusion is associated with improved or comparable survival compared with resuscitation with blood components. These data complement randomized controlled trials indicating that platelet-containing blood products stored at 4 °C have superior hemostatic function, compared with platelet-containing blood products at 22 °C. Whole blood is rarely available in civilian hospitals and, thus, is rarely transfused into patients with hemorrhagic shock. Misconceptions that whole blood must be ABO specific, that whole blood cannot be leukoreduced and maintain platelets, and that cold storage causes loss of platelet function have limited its availability. Understanding that these barriers are not insurmountable will improve the availability of whole blood and facilitate its use. In addition, there are logistical advantages of whole-blood-based resuscitation, as compared with component therapy, for hemorrhagic shock.Summary: Low titer Group O whole blood stored for up to 21 days at 4 °C merits further study to compare its efficacy and safety with current resuscitation approaches for patients with life-threatening bleeding.

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

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

AB - Objective: Assess the impact of ostomy formation on quality of life for U.S. Service Members.Methods: U.S. personnel sustaining colorectal trauma from 2003 to 2011 were identified using the Department of Defense Trauma Registry. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted utilizing prospective interviews with standard survey instruments. Primary outcome measures were the Stoma Quality of Life Scale and Veterans RAND 36 scores and subjective responses. Patients with colorectal trauma not requiring ostomy served as controls.Results: Of 177 available patients, 90 (50.8%) male veterans consented to participate (55 ostomy, 35 control). No significant differences were observed between ostomy and control groups for Injury Severity Score (25.6 ± 9.9 vs. 22.9 ± 11.8, p = 0.26) or mechanism of injury (blast: 55 vs. 52%, p = 0.75); nonostomates had fewer anorectal injuries (3.2 vs. 47.9%, p < 0.01). Median follow-up was 6.7 years. Veterans RAND-36 Physical and Mental Component Scores were similar between groups. About 45.8% of ostomates were willing-to-trade a median of 10 years (interquartile range = 5-15) of their remaining life for gastrointestinal continuity. At last follow-up, 95.9% of respondents' combat-related ostomies were reversed with a median duration of 6 (range = 3-19) months diverted.Conclusions: Ostomy creation in a combat environment remains safe and does not have a quantifiable impact on long-term quality of life.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - In recent years, evidence-based dentistry has become the ideal for research, academia, and clinical practice. However, barriers to implementation are many, including the complexity of interpreting conflicting evidence as well as difficulties in accessing it. Furthermore, many proponents of evidence-based care seem to assume that good evidence consistently exists and that clinicians can and will objectively evaluate data so as to apply the best evidence to individual patients' needs. The authors argue that these shortcomings may mislead many clinicians and that students should be adequately prepared to cope with some of the more complex issues surrounding evidence-based practice. Cognitive biases and heuristics shape every aspect of our lives, including our professional behavior. This article reviews literature from medicine, psychology, and behavioral economics to explore the barriers to implementing evidence-based dentistry. Internal factors include biases that affect clinical decision making: hindsight bias, optimism bias, survivor bias, and blind-spot bias. External factors include publication bias, corporate bias, and lack of transparency that may skew the available evidence in the peer-reviewed literature. Raising awareness of how these biases exert subtle influence on decision making and patient care can lead to a more nuanced discussion of addressing and overcoming barriers to evidence-based practice.

AB - We challenge the intuitive belief that greater leader sensitivity is always associated with desirable outcomes for employees and organizations. Specifically, we argue that followers' idiosyncratic desires for, and perceptions of, leader sensitivity behaviors play a key role in how followers react to their leader's sensitivity. Moreover, these resulting affective experiences are likely to have important consequences for organizations, specifically as they relate to employee counterproductive work behavior (CWB). Drawing from supplies-values (S-V) fit theory and the stressor-emotion model of CWB, the current study focuses on the affective and behavioral consequences of fit between subordinates' ideal leader sensitivity behavior preferences and subordinates' perceptions of their actual leader's sensitivity behaviors. Polynomial regression analyses reveal that congruence between ideal and actual leader sensitivity influences employee negative affect and, consequently, engagement in counterproductive work behavior.

AB - The Laurentian Great Lakes are undergoing intensive ecological restoration in Canada and the United States. In the United States, an interagency committee was formed to facilitate implementation of quality practices for federally funded restoration projects in the Great Lakes basin. The Committee's responsibilities include developing a guidance document that will provide a common approach to the application of quality assurance and quality control ( QA/ QC) practices for restoration projects. The document will serve as a 'how-to' guide for ensuring data quality during each aspect of ecological restoration projects. In addition, the document will provide suggestions on linking QA/ QC data with the routine project data and hints on creating detailed supporting documentation. Finally, the document will advocate integrating all components of the project, including QA/ QC applications, into an overarching decision-support framework. The guidance document is expected to be released by the U.S. EPA Great Lakes National Program Office in 2017. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Diagnosis of mild to moderate traumatic brain injury is challenging because brain tissue damage progresses slowly and is not readily detectable by conventional imaging techniques. We have developed a novel in vitro model to study primary blast loading on dissociated neurons using nitroamine explosives such as those used on the battlefield. Human neuroblastoma cells were exposed to single and triple 50-psi explosive blasts and single 100-psi blasts. Changes in membrane permeability and oxidative stress showed a significant increase for the single and triple 100-psi blast conditions compared with single 50-psi blast and controls.

AB - The Missouri River has been extensively altered as the result of channelization, bank stabilization, and the construction of six main stem reservoirs. In response to the resultant habitat loss, the US Army Corps of Engineers was tasked with restoring approximately 8100 ha of shallow water habitat (SWH), in part, for the benefit of the endangered pallid sturgeon ( Scaphirhynchus albus). Construction of off-channel habitats involves the removal and disposal of excavated alluvium either by direct discharge into the river or by secondary erosion, which raised concerns regarding the introduction of sediment and associated nutrients into the Missouri River. Soils from nine side-channel chutes were sampled to represent nutrient concentrations from habitat restoration activities. Soils from 12 historically undisturbed sites were also sampled to represent reference conditions in the Missouri River flood plain. The results of this study indicate that nutrient characteristics of soils from selected SWH locations generally are similar to those of historically undisturbed soils. The estimated mass of total phosphorus from chutes accounted for 1.9% of Missouri River and 0.5% of Mississippi River total phosphorus loads during the 1993-2012 analysis period. The mass of nitrate, the constituent most closely related to gulf hypoxia, was 0.01% or less of the Missouri and Mississippi River nitrate loads. Sediment volumes from the chutes accounted for 3.1 and 1.5% of total suspended loads from the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Overall, the introduced sediment from side-channel chute construction associated with SWH restoration accounts for a small portion of total nutrient and sediment transport in the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.

It is a communications tool and contributes in the early stages of planning by formalizing ideas and expert knowledge into a structure easily visualized and considered in more detailed analytical tools. Applying RPT helps organize and focus group conversations that seek to create consensus-based alternatives for water management. This paper introduces the software and its role in water resources planning. An RPT application used in the definition of environmental flows for the McKenzie River, Oregon, USA, is presented.

AB - Environmental destruction is an inevitable byproduct of warfare. However, the new paradigm of U.S. military contingency operations requires a strategic vision beyond merely engaging the enemy. American military commanders in the 21st century must also seek to win the hearts and minds of a local population in order to solidify gains and ensure a lasting victory. Unfortunately, many commanders have not adapted to this new way of thinking. As a result, commanders fail to consider the long-term environmental damage inflicted by their soldiers during combat operations, damage which must be borne by the civilian population. Such damage includes hidden unexploded ordnance hazards, depleted uranium, and other hazardous waste generated by the day-to-day operations of U.S. military personnel deployed to contingency environments. Though conmianders claim exigent circumstances prohibit them from implementing environmental controls, the long-term nature of current U.S. occupation-up to thirteen years-undeimines these excuses. In fact, the U.S. military has a robust collection of policies, regulations, and personnel, which could be modified to limit the amount of damage caused by military deployments. This Article examines the existing hazards in contingency environments and the collection of U.S. military regulations, which apply to "enduring" bases, and those in the Continental United States. Additionally, it surveys the international laws regarding environmental destruction currently applicable to US. deployments, as well as what methods of recourse citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan have to address environmental damage caused by the US. military. Finally, it proposes solutions to deal with gaps in U.S. and international law and policy in order to prevent and mediate environmental damage caused by U.S. contingency operations and provides methods of recourse by citizens of countries hosting military deployments.

AB - We present a community data set of daily forcing and hydrologic response data for 671 small- to medium-sized basins across the contiguous United States (median basin size of 336 km²) that spans a very wide range of hydroclimatic conditions. Area-averaged forcing data for the period 1980-2010 was generated for three basin spatial configurations-basin mean, hydrologic response units (HRUs) and elevation bands-by mapping daily, gridded meteorological data sets to the subbasin (Daymet) and basin polygons (Daymet, Maurer and NLDAS). Daily streamflow data was compiled from the United States Geological Survey National Water Information System. The focus of this paper is to (1) present the data set for community use and (2) provide a model performance benchmark using the coupled Snow-17 snow model and the Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting Model, calibrated using the shuffled complex evolution global optimization routine. After optimization minimizing daily root mean squared error, 90% of the basins have Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency scores ≥ 0.55 for the calibration period and 34% ≥ 0.8. This benchmark provides a reference level of hydrologic model performance for a commonly used model and calibration system, and highlights some regional variations in model performance. For example, basins with a more pronounced seasonal cycle generally have a negative low flow bias, while basins with a smaller seasonal cycle have a positive low flow bias. Finally, we find that data points with extreme error (defined as individual days with a high fraction of total error) are more common in arid basins with limited snow and, for a given aridity, fewer extreme error days are present as the basin snow water equivalent increases.

AB - We determined the shifts in the energy levels of ∼15 nm thick poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] films deposited on various substrates including self-assembled monolayer (SAM) modified Au surfaces using photoelectron spectroscopy. As the unmodified substrates included Au, indium tin oxide, Si (with native oxide), and Al (with native oxide), a systematic shift in the detected energy levels of the organic semiconductor was observed to follow the work function values of the substrates. Furthermore, we used polar SAMs to alter the work function of the Au substrates. This suggests the opportunity to control the energy level positions of the organic semiconductor with respect to the electrode Fermi level. Photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that, by introducing SAMs on the Au surface, we successfully increased and decreased the effective work function of Au surface. We found that in this case, the change in the effective work function of the metal surface was not reflected as a shift in the energy levels of the organic semiconductor, as opposed to the results achieved with different substrate materials. Our study showed that when a substrate is modified by SAMs (or similarly by any adsorbed molecules), a new effective work function value is achieved; however, it does not necessarily imply that the new modified surface will behave similar to a different metal where the work function is equal to the effective work function of the modified surface. Various models and their possible contribution to this result are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We provide the evidence for the electro-optic nature of the transient reflectivity change (TRC) response from GaAs/GaSb/InAs heterostructures measured in ultrafast pump-probe experiments. The evidence is based on the correlation between TRC and the transient electric-field-induced second harmonic generation change signals, which have been measured simultaneously. The TRC signal is induced through the second- and third-order nonlinearities by the interfacial dc electric fields originating from the charge separation of pump-excited carriers among the layers. The effect of the interface type between GaSb and InAs layers on the interfacial field strength was analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A study was completed involving the mechanisms of Si1-xGex oxidation. Either pure or mixed oxides of Si and Ge were grown. All oxides were grown in situ in a Scienta ESCA-300 system designed for oxidation. Angle-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was the principal tool in assessing interfacial chemistry. The sub-bonded species of both Si and Ge were investigated as a function of composition. Values for the number of interfacial states were determined in addition to their spatial extension in the actual oxidation interface. The role of interfacial cleaning and the initiation of growth in thin films were determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

AB - After the Communist Tet Offensive of 1968, General William Westmoreland, commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam, supposedly credited the Army-Navy Mobile Riverine Force (MRF) with having "saved the [Mekong] Delta" for the allied cause. The MRF drove enemy forces from key population centers and decimated the Viet Cong main force units that stood and fought them. But in August 1969, General Creighton Abrams, Westmoreland's successor, disbanded the MRF. Despite the MRF's impressive battle history, Army and Navy leaders never fully embraced the creation, development, or operational deployment of one of the few truly joint-service units of the Vietnam War.

AB - We report on epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of [formula] a-plane GaN by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Different growth rates of Ga- and N-polar wings together with wing tilt create a major obstacle for achieving a smooth, fully coalesced surface in ELO a-plane GaN. To address this issue a two-step growth method was employed to provide a large aspect ratio of height to width in the first growth step followed by enhanced lateral growth in the second by controlling the growth temperature. By this method, the average ratio of Ga- to N-polar wing growth rate has been reduced from 4–6 to 1.5–2, which consequently reduced the wing-tilt induced height difference between the two approaching wings at the coalescence front, thereby making their coalescence much easier. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the threading dislocation density in the wing regions was 1.0×108 cm-2, more than two orders of magnitude lower than that in the window regions (4.2×1010 cm-2). However, a relatively high density of basal stacking faults of 1.2×104 cm-1 was still present in the wing regions as compared to c -plane GaN, where they are rarely observed away from the substrate. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements showed two orders of magnitude higher density of surface pits in the window than in the wing regions, which were considered to be terminated by dislocations (partial ones related to stacking faults and full ones) on the surface. The existence of basal stacking faults was also revealed by AFM measurements on the a-plane ELO sample after wet chemical etching in hot H3PO4/H2SO4 (1:1). The extensions of Ga-polar wings near the meeting fronts were almost free of stacking faults. The improvement of crystalline quality in the overgrown layer by ELO was also verified by near field scanning optical microscopy and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements; the former showing strongly enhanced luminescence from the wing regions, and the latter indicating longer decay times (0.25 ns) compared to a standard a-plane GaN template (40 ps).

AB - We performed tight-binding molecular dynamics on single-walled carbon nanotubes with and without a variety of defects to study their effect on the nanotube modulus and failure through bond rupture. For a pristine (5,5) nanotube, Young’s modulus was calculated to be ∼1.1 TPa, and brittle rupture occurred at a strain of 17% under quasistatic loading. The predicted modulus is consistent with values from experimentally derived thermal vibration and pull test measurements. The defects studied consist of moving or removing one or two carbon atoms, and correspond to a 1.4% defect density. The occurrence of a Stone-Wales defect does not significantly affect Young’s modulus, but failure occurs at 15% strain. The occurrence of a pair of separated vacancy defects lowers Young’s modulus by ∼160 GPa and the critical or rupture strain to 13%. These defects apparently act independently, since one of these defects alone was independently determined to lower Young’s modulus by ∼90 GPa, also with a critical strain of 13%. When the pair of vacancy defects adjacent, however, Young’s modulus is lowered by only ∼100 GPa, but with a lower critical strain of 11%. In all cases, there is noticeable strain softening, for instance, leading to an ∼250 GPa drop in the apparent secant modulus at 10% strain. When a chiral (10,5) nanotube with a vacancy defect was subjected to tensile strain, failure occurred through a continuous spiral-tearing mechanism that maintained a high level of stress (2.5 GPa) even as the nanotube unraveled. Since the statistical likelihood of defects occurring near each other increases with nanotube length, these studies may have important implications for interpreting the experimental distribution of moduli and critical strains.

AB - Motivated by a very recent experimental work on investigating electronic properties of InAs/GaSb-based type II and broken-gap quantum well structures, in this article we present a simple and transparent theoretical approach to calculate electronic subband structure in such device systems. The theoretical model is developed on the basis of solving self-consistently the Schrödinger equation for the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues coupled with the Poisson equation for the confinement potentials, in which the effects such as charge distribution and depletion are considered. In particular, we examine the effect of a GaSb cap layer on electronic properties of the quantum well systems in conjunction with experiments and experimental findings. The results obtained from the proposed self-consistent calculation can be used to understand important experimental findings and are in line with those measured experimentally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Compositionally layered BaxSr1-xTiO3 (Ba0.60Sr0.40TiO3–Ba0.75Sr0.25TiO3–Ba0.90Sr0.10TiO3) 220 nm thin film heterostructures were fabricated on Pt coated high resistivity Si substrates via the metal organic solution deposition technique (MOSD). Optimization of the material design was achieved by evaluating two integration schemes, namely, the single- and multianneal process protocols. Materials characterization demonstrated that both film process protocols resulted in smooth, dense, crack-free films with a single phase perovskite structure. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy revealed compositionally distinct layers and severe elemental interdiffusion for the films fabricated via the multianneal and single-anneal process protocols, respectively. The retention of the compositional layering subsequent to film crystallization deemed the multianneal processed BaxSr1-xTiO3 (BST) film suitable for evaluation of dielectric properties. The dielectric properties were compared to both paraelectric uniform composition BST and to the relevant compositionally graded BST films reported in the technical literature. Our results made evident that the multiannealed compositionally layered BST films possessed higher permittivity ([variant_greek_epsilon]r=360) and lower dissipation factor (tan δ=0.012) with respect to both uniform composition paraelectric Ba0.60Sr0.40TiO3 film fabricated via the same MOSD processing method and the relevant literature values for compositionally graded BST films. The multilayered BST material design exhibited minimal dielectric dispersion in the range of 90 to -10 °C, showing a 6.4% decrease in permittivity (corresponding to a temperature coefficient of capacitance TCC20–90=-0.921) as the temperature was elevated from 20 to 90 °C and only a 2.1 increase in permittivity (TCC20–(-10)=-0.716) as the temperature was lowered from 20 to -10 °C. Additionally, the dielectric tunability of the multilayered BST structures over the temperature range of -10–90 °C was temperature independent. Our results show that the multilayered BST design has excellent dielectric properties and the enhanced tunability and dielectric loss are stable over a relatively broad temperature range (-10–90 °C), thereby making them excellent candidates for the next generation of enhanced performance temperature stable tunable devices.

AB - The thermal stability of nanostructured FeNiZr alloys with Zr additions up to 4 at.% was investigated. This expands upon our previous results for Fe-Ni base alloys that were limited to 1 at.% Zr addition. Emphasis was placed on understanding the effects of composition and microstructural evolution on grain growth and mechanical properties after annealing at temperatures near and above the bcc-to-fcc transformation. Results reveal that microstructural stability can be lost due to the bcc-to-fcc transformation (occurring at 700 °C) by the sudden appearance of abnormally grown fcc grains. However, it was determined that grain growth can be suppressed kinetically at higher temperatures for high Zr content alloys due to the precipitation of intermetallic compounds. Eventually, at higher temperatures and regardless of composition, the retention of nanocrystallinity was lost, leaving behind fine micron grains filled with nanoscale intermetallic precipitates. Despite the increase in grain size, the in situ formed precipitates were found to induce an Orowan hardening effect rivaling that predicted by Hall-Petch hardening for the smallest grain sizes. The transition from grain size strengthening to precipitation strengthening is reported for these alloys. The large grain size and high precipitation hardening result in a material that exhibits high strength and significant plastic straining capacity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The ability to recognize others' facial expressions is critical to the social communication of affective states. The present work examined how transient states of high physiological arousal during aerobic exercise influence recognizing and rating morphed facial expressions. Participants exercised at either a low or high work rate. While exercising and then during cool-down and rest periods, participants performed a version of the morphed faces task that involved animated faces changing into or away from five target affective states (happy, surprise, sadness, anger, and disgust); they were asked to stop the animation when the face first corresponded to a target state, and rate its emotional intensity. Results demonstrated no differences in animation stop data, but overall lower ratings of perceived emotion intensity during high versus low work rate exercise; these effects dissipated through cool-down and rest periods. Results highlight important interactions between physiological states and processing emotional information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Imposex and decline in reproductive output in marine gastropods have been linked to tributyltin (TBT) exposure. This study describes Chesapeake Bay, USA, veined rapa whelk Rapana venosa imposex incidence and sex ratios from 1998 to 2009. Tissue TBT concentrations (ng g −1) were examined with respect to whelk sex, size, and water temperature at the time of collection, and also to egg case size, hatching success, and veliger diameter. Imposex incidence declined and population sex ratios moved closer to parity from 1998 to 2009. Observed TBT concentrations (ng g −1) were higher in James River than in Ocean View whelks with higher TBT concentrations observed in males than in females. Exponential declines in TBT concentrations from female-specific first to last clutches within a reproductive season were observed, indicating that whelks depurate TBT through egg case deposition. Egg capsule hatching success and veliger size were similar for female and imposex whelks. The R. venosa imposex levels observed in Chesapeake Bay apparently do not affect the production, release, or viability of larvae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Gregory Reichberg's argument against my reading of the classical just war theorists falsely assumes that if just cause is unilateral, then there is no moral equality of combatants. This assumption is plausible if we assume an individualist framework. However, the classical theorists accepted quasi-Aristotelian, communitarian social ontologies and theories of justice. For them, the political community is ontologically and morally prior to the private individual. The classical just war theorists build their theories within this framework. They argue that just war is only waged by supra-individual political communities for irreducibly social ends. War by private individuals for private ends is always unjust. The ends sought in just war presuppose the justice of a hierarchy of authority over war such that the soldier is obligated to serve in war upon the command of his or her legitimate authority. In this way, the classical theorists accept a unilateral theory of just cause and a division of authority over war that entails the possibility of the moral equality of combatants.

AB - Effects of white-nose syndrome (WNS) have mainly been assessed in bats at hibernacula, but this method may not be appropriate for species with poorly understood overwintering habits. We assessed effects of WNS on summer captures of Myotis leibii (Eastern Small-footed Bat), M. lucifugus (Little Brown Bat), M. septentrionalis (Northern Long-eared Bat), and Eptesicus fuscus (Big Brown Bat) in New Hampshire from 2005-2011. Declines in rates and probability of capture varied among species but were greatest in the Myotis. Trends generally agreed with previous studies, except that declines in captures of Eastern Small-footed Bats were disproportionately higher than expected from winter estimates. Monitoring of Eastern Small-footed Bats during the non-hibernation period likely will help to clarify the effects of WNS on this uncommon species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Behavior in response to a crisis will result from a combination of individual and situational variables. In spite of the increased recognition of the importance of situational variables, a literature and methodological toolkit for the study of situational influences that is comparable with those available for individual variables has not yet emerged. However, the recently developed Riverside Situational Q-sort provides a novel method for quantifying subjective impressions of any situation. This proof-of-concept demonstration asked participants to complete the RSQ in response to an imaginary food crisis situation communicated via one of three message sources (social media, organizational website and traditional media). Results illustrate the potential of this method to provide quantitative evaluations of subjective responses to crisis situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Magnesium aluminate spinel solid solutions with the alumina-rich compositions MgO·2 Al2 O3 and MgO·2.5 Al2 O3 have been prepared as polycrystalline ceramics with average in-line transmissions at 550 nm of 85.5 ± 0.3% and 80.9 ± 0.4%, respectively. Starting powders are prepared from combinations of high purity Mg( OH)2 and γ- Al2 O3 thoroughly mixed in an aqueous slurry, and the solids are collected, dried, calcined, mixed with LiF sintering aid, and sieved. The optimum amount of LiF added varies with the alumina composition of the spinel solid solution. The powders are sintered into dense ceramics by hot pressing at 1600°C under vacuum and 20 MPa uniaxial load followed by hot isostatic pressing at 1850°C under 200 MPa in Ar. Both compositions exhibit exaggerated grain growth with average sizes well over 500 μm. Knoop hardness measurements are 11.2 ± 0.3 GPa for MgO·2 Al2 O3 and 11.0 ± 0.4 GPa for MgO·2.5 Al2 O3.

AB - Wild, downstream-migrating cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii, smolts and adults were captured at a weir in Big Beef Creek, Hood Canal, Washington, surgically implanted with acoustic tags and tracked to identify spring and summer movements using stationary receivers in order to test the assumption that the species moves little while in marine waters. Overall, 93-96% migrated from the stream into the east side of the long narrow fjord, where they dispersed north and south along the shoreline. Most O. c. clarkii were detected nearshore within 10 km of the release site, with declining detection rates to 77 km. Over one-third (36%) crossed c. 2-4 km of deep water to the other side but only one O. c. clarkii left the Hood Canal basin. Movements and behaviour patterns did not differ between smolts and adults but cluster analysis revealed two modes of distribution, here categorized as residents and migrants. Within these categories of overall distribution, a range of finer-scale behaviour patterns was observed, including sedentary individuals, daily moving between proximate sites and more continuous long-distance travel. Diel movement patterns varied markedly among individuals but overall activity increased near dawn, peaked around mid-day and declined but continued at night. These patterns contrast with sympatric and closely related steelhead trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, providing new insights into the diversity of salmonid behaviour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The U.S. Department of Defense is using the chemicals 2,4-dinltroanisole (DNAN) and 3-nitro-1, 2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) in new munitions development. In a screen for biomarkers of exposure, these compounds were measured in urine and blood of male rhesus monkeys after oral doses. NTO peaked at 4h, with urinary concentrations at least 100-fold higher than that of blood or serum while 4-dinitrophenol (DNP), a metabolite of DNAN, appeared in blood at concentrations 10- to 20-fold higher than the parent compound. For human exposure monitoring, urine is optimal for NTO while the metabolite DNP in blood is best for DNAN. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A repeated creep (RC) test was performed on mixture bars in the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) to investigate the interaction of aged Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) binder and virgin binderin different mixtures. The focus of the paper was testing compacted specimens made from 100% RAP and virgin binder. Three RAP sources were tested with three different virgin asphalt contents and two different 100% RAP mixing temperatures. A total of 144 torsion bars were prepared and tested. The overall result of the investigation was that the RC test does not appear optimal for the purpose of evaluating the interaction of 100% RAP mixed with virgin binder. One of the difficulties encountered was preparing torsion bars over a wide range of RAP material properties and virgin asphalt contents. The RC test was able to detect RAP source and virgin asphalt content, but was not able to capture potential differences in mechanical response due to differences in specimen mixing temperature.

AB - The spatial resolution of a sonic anemometer is limited by the distance between its transducers, and for studies of small-scale turbulence and theories of turbulence, it is desirable to increase this spatial resolution. We here consider resolution improvements obtainable by treating the sonic anemometer as a small tomography array, with application of appropriate inverse algorithms for the reconstruction of temperature and velocity. A particular modification of the sonic anemometer is considered when the number of its transducers is doubled and the time-dependent stochastic inversion algorithm is used for reconstruction. Numerical simulations of the sonic anemometer and its suggested modification are implemented with the temperature and velocity fields modelled as discrete eddies moving through the sonic's volume. The tomographic approach is shown to provide better reconstructions of the temperature and velocity fields, with spatial resolution increased by as much as a factor of ten. The spatial resolution depends on the inverse algorithm and also improves by increasing the number of transducers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Twinning in hexagonal close-packed Mg alloys has been reported to be unfavorable when the grain size is reduced below a couple of microns and suppressed at the nanoscale. Using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, we present evidence of nanotwins (<1 nm) in nanocrystalline Mg–Al alloys processed by cryomilling. The commonly observed twinning modes for coarse-grained Mg are identified and supported with atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The specific thermomechanical conditions offered by cryomilling facilitate the generation of deformation twins that are not observed with conventional deformation processing methods.

AB - The Y-balance test (YBT) is one of the few field expedient tests that have shown predictive validity for injury risk in an athletic population. However, analysis of the YBT in a heterogeneous population of active adults (e.g., military, specific occupations) involving multiple raters with limited experience in a mass screening setting is lacking. The primary purpose of this study was to determine interrater test-retest reliability of the YBT in a military setting using multiple raters. Sixty-four service members (53 males, 11 females) actively conducting military training volunteered to participate. Interrater test-retest reliability of the maximal reach had intraclass correlation coefficients (2,1) of 0.80 to 0.85 with a standard error of measurement ranging from 3.1 to 4.2 cm for the 3 reach directions (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral). Interrater test-retest reliability of the average reach of 3 trails had an intraclass correlation coefficients (2,3) range of 0.85 to 0.93 with an associated standard error of measurement ranging from 2.0 to 3.5cm. The YBT showed good interrater test-retest reliability with an acceptable level of measurement error among multiple raters screening active duty service members. In addition, 31.3% (n = 20 of 64) of participants exhibited an anterior reach asymmetry of >4cm, suggesting impaired balance symmetry and potentially increased risk for injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is an illness that affects many individuals at altitudes above 2,400 m (8,000 ft) resulting in decreased performance. Models that provide quantitative estimates of AMS risk are expanding, but predictive genetic models for AMS susceptibility are still under investigation. Thirty-four male U.S. Army Soldier volunteers were exposed to baseline, 3,000 m, 3,500 m, or 4,500 m altitude conditions in a hypobaric chamber and evaluated for onset of AMS symptoms. In addition, mice were evaluated at extreme hypoxia conditions equivalent to 7,600 m. Real-time polymerase chain reaction hypoxia response array was used to identify 15 genes that were activated in Soldiers and 46 genes that were activated in mice. We identified angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) as a gene that is significantly activated in response to hypoxia (5.8-fold upregulated at 4,500 m in humans). The role of ANGPTL4 in high-altitude response has not been explored. Pretreatment of mice with fenofibrate, an /WGiTW-activating pharmaceutical, had a considerable effect on overall hypoxia response gene expression and resulted in significantly decreased cerebral edema following exposure to hypoxia. Activation of ANGPTL4 may protect against cerebral edema by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor and therefore serve as a potential target for AMS prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study aimed to merge existing methodologies of identifying high-risk soldiers to create a comprehensive testable model to assist leaders in the identification, mitigation, and prevention of negative behavioral health (BH) issues. In 2011, a total of 2,664 active duty U.S. Army soldiers completed a survey of demographic and military characteristics, combat exposures, and BH diagnoses and symptoms. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were fit to examine the relationship between demographic and military characteristics, subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, and positive screening for BH symptoms. The "recent loss of someone close" and self-reporting a history of BH issues were the strongest and most consistent predictors of subthreshold behavioral and social health issues. This study found that individual and occupational factors were associated with subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, which were in turn, associated with screening positive for BH symptoms. The recent loss of someone close (an indicator of grief and loss) was not the study's primary research question, but warrants further investigation to determine its impact on the mental well-being of soldiers.

AB - The military unit is a critical center of gravity in the military's efforts to enhance resilience and the health of the force. The purpose of this article is to augment the military's Total Force Fitness (TFF) guidance with a framework of TFF in units. The framework is based on a Military Demand-Resource model that highlights the dynamic interactions across demands, resources, and outcomes. A joint team of subject-matter experts identified key variables representing unit fitness demands, resources, and outcomes. The resulting framework informs and supports leaders, support agencies, and enterprise efforts to strengthen TFF in units by (1) identifying TFF unit variables aligned with current evidence and operational practices, (2) standardizing communication about TFF in units across the Department of Defense enterprise in a variety of military organizational contexts, (3) improving current resources including evidence- based actions for leaders, (4) identifying and addressing of gaps, and (5) directing future research for enhancing TFF in units. These goals are intended to inform and enhance Service efforts to develop Service-specific TFF models, as well as provide the conceptual foundation for a follow-on article about TFF metrics for units.

AB - We use internal photoemission spectroscopy to determine the conduction band offset of a type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice (T2SL) pBp photodetector to be 0.004 (±0.004) eV at 78 K, confirming its unipolar operation. It is also found that phonon-assisted hole transport through the B-region disables its two-color detection mode around 140 K. In addition, photoemission yield shows a reduction at about an energy of longitudinal-optical phonon above the threshold, confirming carrier-phonon scattering degradation on the photoresponse. These results may indicate a pathway for optimizing T2SL detectors in addition to current efforts in material growth, processing, substrate preparation, and device passivation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Low defect density asymmetric multiple quantum wells (MQWs) of InGaN/GaN grown on non-polar a-plane GaN substrates were investigated using time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. Comparison of these spectra with the predicted emission energies reveals that these QWs may be spectrally resolved at low temperatures. However, a combination of thermal activation and resonant tunneling of carriers increasingly coupled the QWs, favoring emission from the lowest energy QWs with increasing temperature in a manner analogous to MQWs composed of other non-polar semiconductor materials but unlike most InGaN MQWs grown on polar substrates and influenced by the strong polarization-dependent effects.

AB - Computer-based technologies informed by the science of learning are becoming increasingly prevalent in education and training. For the Department of Defense (DoD), this presents a great potential advantage to the effective preparation of a new generation of technologically enabled service members. Military medicine has broad education and training challenges ranging from first aid and personal protective skills for every service member to specialized combat medic training; many of these challenges can be met with gaming and simulation technologies that this new generation has embraced. However, comprehensive use of medical games and simulation to augment expert mentorship is still limited to elite medical provider training programs, but can be expected to become broadly used in the training of first responders and allied health care providers. The purpose of this supplement is to review the use of computer games and simulation to teach and assess medical knowledge and skills. This review and other DoD research policy sources will form the basis for development of a research and development road map and guidelines for use of this technology in military medicine.

AB - Turbine-passed fish are exposed to rapid decreases in pressure which can cause barotrauma. The presence of an implanted telemetry tag increases the likelihood of injury or death from exposure to pressure changes, thus potentially biasing studies evaluating survival of turbine-passed fish. Therefore, a neutrally buoyant externally attached tag was developed to eliminate this bias in turbine passage studies. This new tag was designed not to add excess mass in water or take up space in the coelom, having an effective tag burden of zero with the goal of reducing pressure related biases to turbine survival studies. To determine if this new tag affects fish performance or susceptibility to predation, it was evaluated in the field relative to internally implanted acoustic transmitters (JSATS; Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System) used widely for survival studies of juvenile salmonids. Survival and travel time through the study reach was compared between fish with either tag type in an area of high predation in the Snake and Columbia rivers, Washington. An additional group of fish affixed with neutrally-buoyant dummy external tags were implanted with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags and recovered further downstream to assess external tag retention and injury. There were no significant differences in survival to the first detection site, 12 river kilometers (rkm) downstream of release. Travel times were also similar between groups. Conversely, externally-tagged fish had reduced survival (or elevated tag loss) to the second detection site, 65 rkm downstream. In addition, the retention study revealed that tag loss was first observed in fish recaptured approximately 9 days after release. Results suggest that this new tag may be viable for short term (<8 days) single-dam turbine-passage studies and under these situations, may alleviate the turbine passage-related bias encountered when using internal tags, however further research is needed to confirm this.

T1 - The Effect of Heat Acclimation on Sweat Microminerals: Artifact of Surface Contamination.

AB - Heat acclimation (HA) reportedly conveys conservation in sweat micromineral concentrations when sampled from arm sweat, but time course is unknown. The observation that comprehensive cleaning of the skin surface negates sweat micromineral reductions during prolonged sweating raises the question of whether the reported HA effect is real or artifact of surface contamination. Purpose: To measure sweat mineral concentrations serially during HA and determine if surface contamination plays a role in the reported mineral reductions. Methods: Calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), and zinc (Zn) were measured in sweat obtained from 17 male volunteers using an arm bag on Day 1, 5, and 10 of a HA protocol. To study the role of contamination, sweat was simultaneously (n = 10 subjects) sampled twice daily from a cleaned site (WASH) and unclean site (NO WASH) on the scapular surface. Results: Sweat Ca, Cu, and Mg from Arm Bag trended progressively downward from Day 1 to Day 10 of HA (p = .10–0.25). Micromineral concentrations from the WASH site did not change between Day 1, 5, or 10 (Ca = 0.30 ± 0.12 mmol/L, Cu 0.41 ± 0.53 μmol/L; Zn 1.11 ± 0.80 μmol/L). Surface contamination can confound sweat mineral estimates, as sweat Ca and Cu from NO WASH site were initially higher than WASH (p < .05) but became similar to WASH when sampled serially. Conclusion: Heat acclimation does not confer reductions in sweat Ca, Cu, Mg, or Zn. When the skin surface is not cleaned, mineral residue inflates initial sweat mineral concentrations. Earlier reports of micromineral reductions during HA may have been confounded by interday cleaning variability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - With heavy reliance on neurocognitive testing for concussion status assessments in the U.S. warfighter, there is a need to investigate the impact of testing environment on neurocognitive functioning. The current study compared scores on computerized neurocognitive tests of 166 soldiers who were deployed to Iraq. Predeployment baseline scores (n=3) were compared to baseline scores collected while deployed (n=113) on the battery of tests. There was no significant difference between baseline scores acquired from the predeployment group versus the deployed group. Furthermore, only one subtest revealed a significant difference in change scores from the follow-up test session when comparing the location of initial baseline testing. The results suggest that testing environment does not significantly influence baseline neurocognitive testing. The findings also provide support for the use of neurocognitive testing in a deployment environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The incomplete nature of operational records generated during and preserved after the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991) has and will continue to challenge historians', medical researchers', and veterans' understanding of the conflict. This war exposed the deterioration of the U.S. Army's records management after the disestablishment of The Adjutant General's Office (TAGO) in 1986. TAGO had overseen Army records management, holding commanders accountable for their units' records and using trained personnel to manage records within units. Focusing on operational records, this paper explores the breakdown of records management during the Gulf War, discusses the presidentially mandated Gulf War Declassification Project (1995-1996), and briefly reviews current Army operational records management.

AB - American military theorists between the Civil War and World War II have garnered limited attention in military history, but they developed many ideas about the nature and practice of war. These theorists did not fixate on the writings of Carl von Clausewitz, but they were familiar with his work. But independent of Clausewitz, American military theory emphasized the Clausewitzian concept of the relationships among politics and society in preparing for and fighting wars. This article explores Clausewitz and American military theory, explains how Americans became naturally Clausewitzian, and discusses what their thinking has to do with the conduct of war.

AB - Bed-load sediment transport is important yet difficult to measure in large, sand-bed rivers. Prior work established in theory and validated in a flume study a method known as integrated section surface difference over time version 2 (ISSDOTv2), which computes bed-load transport using sequential three dimensional (3D) bathymetric profiles. The same work identified a source of systemic error leading to an underprediction of computed transport rates. This paper demonstrates how the systemic error can be removed from ISSDOTv2 calculations to produce a more accurate dune transport value. This is demonstrated by analytic and geometric examples, and with field data from the Missouri River at Kansas City. The results of these analyses indicate that field data do exhibit the systematic error and that it is possible to extrapolate a corrected dune bed-load transport rate from field data obtained at different measurement intervals. Additionally, error bounds on this corrected value can be set. Independent validation of the resulting transport rate was not attempted due to the unreliability of physical measurements for bed-load transport in large sand-bed rivers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Vortex-like flow patterns are often observed in experiments on granular media for which uniform strain is expected based on the loading boundary conditions. These deformations become apparent when the motion associated with uniform strain is subtracted from the total particle motion. Besides presenting an interesting phenomenon that begs explanation, these vortex patterns suggest multiscale structure for nonaffine motion as suggested by modern continuum theories. Further, the authors note that the rotational velocity field added to a uniform strain field produces a planar slip field. Thus, these structures are associated with the slip-band fields that eventually form, which are generally associated with bifurcations in the solution path of the governing partial differential equations. The authors present a procedure to extract these motion fields from discrete-element simulations along with conjugate forces associated with these motions. A key finding from the simulations is that the motions that eventually lead to shear band formation develop throughout the loading history rather than arising as a distinct bifurcation. Further, the pattern of rotational fields, and hence the shear banding pattern, are controlled by the boundary conditions. A question, only partly resolved here, is the origin of forces driving the rotational fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The physiological burden created by heat strain and physical exercise, also called thermal-work strain, was quantified for 10 male Marines (age 21.9 ± 2.3 years, height 180.3 ± 5.2 cm, and weight 85.2 ± 10.8 kg) during three dismounted missions in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Heart rate (HR) and core body temperature (Tcore) were recorded every 15 seconds (Equivital EQ-01; Hidalgo, Cambridge, United Kingdom) during periods of light, moderate, and heavy work and used to estimate metabolic rate. Meteorological measures, clothing characteristics, anthropometrics, and estimated metabolic rates were used to predict Tcore for the same missions during March (spring) and July (summer) conditions. Thermal-work strain was quantified from HR and Tcore values using the Physiological Strain Index (PSI) developed by Moran et al. July PSI and Tcore values were predicted and not observed due to lack of access to in-theater warfighters at that time. Our methods quantify and compare the predicted and observed thermal-work strain resulting from environment and worn or carried equipment and illustrate that a small increase in ambient temperature and solar load might result in increased thermal-work strain.

AB - PURPOSE: To compare an empirical, Army doctrine-based (endurance, strength, mobility, military relevant tasks), criterion-referenced, body mass (BM) unbiased Military Optimal Performance Challenge (MOPC) to the Army's Physical Fitness Test (APFT) and thus assisting commanders to determine military readiness. METHODS: Militarily-relevant physical assessments were combined to create a composite MOPC score. The MOPC and APFT were administered to 20 male, military subjects during a 2-week period. Data collection included 3-Mile Run, Mobility Test, Upper/Lower Body Strength/Endurance, Simulated Casualty Evacuation Test. The APFT was administered through Army guidelines before MOPC data collection. RESULTS: The APFT was influenced by BM, lean body mass (LBM) (r = -0.44; r2 = 0.20; p = 0.04), whereas MOPC was less impacted (r = 0.21; r2 = 0.04; p = 0.32). Eight subjects, as viewed by %APFT, are "fit for duty" (80.6%); however, all eight subjects' mean score as %MOPC was <50%. CONCLUSIONS: The MOPC offers a robust approach to military readiness and is free of the confounding influence of BM. The MOPC is a unique assessment requiring a multitude of abilities to garner success and may assist in training for functional combat performance skills demanding high work capacities.

AB - OBJECTIVE: To examine the overall and drug-specific positive rates of Army urinalysis specimens tested from fiscal year 2001 (FY01) through FY11. METHODS: We analyzed annual Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory results from FY01 to FY11. RESULTS: From FY01 to FY11, the Army's positive rate was 1.06%. The component rates were 0.84%, 1.53%, and 1.94% for the active duty, Reserve, and National Guard, respectively. The Army's average positive rate for marijuana from FY01 to FY11 was 0.79%, and the cocaine rate was 0.26%. From FY06 to FY11, the average positive rate for oxycodone was 0.74% and the d-amphetamine rate was 0.30%. Apart from oxymorphone, a key metabolite of oxycodone, the positive rate for all other drugs tested was below 0.25%. The FY11 drug positive rates in decreasing order were oxymorphone > oxycodone > marijuana > d-amphetamine > codeine > cocaine > morphine > d-methamphetamine > methylenedioxymethamphetamine > heroin > methylenedioxyamphetamine > phencyclidine. Although the drug positive rate for heroin remains low, the number of positives has increased dramatically since FY05. CONCLUSION: The drug-testing program continues to serve as a vital deterrent as evidenced by the Army's overall positive rate being well below the 8.9% estimated illicit use in the civilian population.

AB - A high energy, modular, completely automated test bed with integrated data acquisition and characterization systems was successfully designed in order to perform both safe operating area as well as very high volume reliability testing on experimental silicon carbide Super Gate Turn Off (SGTO) thyristors. Although the system follows a modular design philosophy, with each functional block acting as a peripheral to a main control module and can be adapted to arbitrary power and pulse width levels, for the specific SGTO devices initially evaluated it was configured to have the device discharge variable current levels of up to 6 kA into a 0.5 Ω resistive load with a relatively square pulse fixed at 100 μs full width at half maximum delivering energy levels up to 1.8 kJ to the load.

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

AB - A continuum model of the transport and reaction processes occurring during decontamination of the chemical warfare agent (CWA) [2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl]-O-ethyl methylphosphonothioate (VX) absorbed in a silicone elastomer using solutions of sodium hydroxide in water, methanol, and mixtures thereof is presented. This model is based on the Maxwell-Stefan formulation of multicomponent diffusion along with the Flory-Huggins model of thermodynamic equilibrium in the polymer. It was found that, as methanol from the decontaminant absorbs into the silicone, the diffusivity of VX increases, accelerating its flux from the polymer phase to the decontaminant liquid phase. This composition dependence of the diffusivity was accurately described by the Vignes equation. Although the decontamination kinetics were slower for the methanol-based decontaminant in a well-stirred liquid-phase reactor, the overall performance was superior compared to the aqueous-based decontaminant due to the enhanced extraction rate from the polymer. These findings highlight the need to consider extraction dynamics on equal footing with reaction kinetics when formulating decontaminants intended for use on absorbing polymer materials.

AB - Ebola virus disease in humans is highly lethal, with case fatality rates ranging from 25 to 90%. There is no licensed treatment or vaccine against the virus, underscoring the need for efficacious countermeasures. We ascertained that a human survivor of the 1995 Kikwit Ebola virus disease outbreak maintained circulating antibodies against the Ebola virus surface glycoprotein for more than a decade after infection. From this survivor we isolated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that neutralize recent and previous outbreak variants of Ebola virus and mediate antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity in vitro. Strikingly, monotherapy with mAb114 protected macaques when given as late as 5 days after challenge. Treatment with a single human mAb suggests that a simplified therapeutic strategy for human Ebola infection may be possible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Single-day snow covered area (SCA) products are incomplete and often inadequate representations of ground conditions due to short term variation in cloud cover, snow cover, and sensor geometry. To mitigate these effects, we developed a by-pixel filtering algorithm to produce relatively cloud-free SCA products from 16 days of MODIS imagery. The algorithm uses previous days' data to estimate the current SCA value of each pixel and uses a simple persistence test to reduce the effects of spurious SCA/cloud classifications in the input products. To be positively identified as SCA, a pixel must be snow-covered in the two most recent, cloud-free scenes of the 16-day period. We applied this time-domain-filtering (TDF) methodology to two single-day MODIS fractional snow cover products (MOD10A1 and MODSCAG) over the MODIS period of record (2000-present) and compared the outputs to the unfiltered products, to filtered maps generated using the cloud-gap-filled algorithm (CGF, Hall et al., 2010), and to historical snow assessment reports from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL). The CRREL reports were manually generated and quality-controlled by an analyst and are treated as ground truth. We find that, when applied to MODSCAG, the TDF algorithm successfully fills in gap pixels and limits the effects of snow/cloud confusion and produces a filtered product that is more consistent and accurate than the MODSCAG CGF product and comparable to the MOD10A1 CGF product.

AB - The combination of extraordinary strength and stiffness in conjunction with exceptional electronic and thermal properties in lightweight two-dimensional materials has propelled graphene research toward a wide array of applications including flexible electronics and functional structural components. Tailoring graphene's properties toward a selected application requires precise control of the atomic layer growth process, transfer, and postprocessing procedures. To date, the mechanical properties of graphene are largely controlled through postprocess defect engineering techniques. In this work, we demonstrate the role of varied catalytic surface morphologies on the tailorability of subsequent graphene film quality and breaking strength, providing a mechanism to tailor the physical, electrical, and mechanical properties at the growth stage. A new surface planarization methodology that results in over a 99% reduction in Cu surface roughness allows for smoothness parameters beyond that reported to date in literature and clearly demonstrates the role of Cu smoothness toward a decrease in the formation of bilayer graphene defects, altered domain sizes, monolayer graphene sheet resistance values down to 120 Ω/... and a 78% improvement in breaking strength. The combined electrical and mechanical enhancements achieved through this methodology allows for the direct growth of application quality flexible transparent conductive films with monolayer graphene.

AB - Antibodies targeting the Ebola virus surface glycoprotein (EBOV GP) are implicated in protection against lethal disease, but the characteristics of the human antibody response to EBOV GP remain poorly understood. We isolated and characterized 349 GP-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from the peripheral B cells of a convalescent donor who survived the 2014 EBOV Zaire outbreak. Remarkably, 77% of the mAbs neutralize live EBOV, and several mAbs exhibit unprecedented potency. Structures of selected mAbs in complex with GP reveal a site of vulnerability located in the GP stalk region proximal to the viral membrane. Neutralizing antibodies targeting this site show potent therapeutic efficacy against lethal EBOV challenge in mice. The results provide a framework for the design of new EBOV vaccine candidates and immunotherapies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Quantum and classical molecular dynamics simulations are used to explore whether chemical reactivity of shocked formic acid occurs at pressures greater than 15 GPa, a question arising from results of different shock compression experiments. The classical molecular dynamics simulations were performed using a quantum-based nonreactive pair additive interaction potential whereas the full resolution quantum mechanical molecular dynamics simulations allow chemical reactions. Although the shock Hugoniot curve calculated using nonreactive classical MD for formic acid is in reasonable agreement with one set of experimental results, shock Hugoniot points calculated using Born-Oppenheimer MD at 30 GPa are in agreement with the set of experimental data that suggests chemical reactivity at these elevated temperatures and pressures. Examination of atomic positions throughout the Born-Oppenheimer MD trajectories clearly indicates extensive and complex chemical reaction, chiefly involving hydrogen-atom transfer and intermolecular complexation.

AB - We consider the elastodynamic impact problem involving a one-dimensional finite-thickness piezoelectric flyer traveling at initial velocity $$V_0$$ that collides with (and adheres to) a stationary piezoelectric target of finite thickness backed by a semi-infinite non-piezoelectric elastic half-space. We derive expressions for the stress, velocity, and electric displacement in the target at all times after impact. A combined d'Alembert and Laplace transform method is used to derive new numerically based solutions for this class of transient wave propagation problems. A modified Dubner-Abate-Crump (DAC) algorithm is used to invert the analytical Laplace transform domain solutions to the time domain. Unlike many authors who neglect electromechanical coupling in the initially unstressed region ahead of the shock, we consider this effect, which gives rise to the development of a tensile stress wave within the piezoelectric target ahead of the shock. To solve the problem, we derive a new piezoelectric impact boundary condition and apply it to the problem of a finite quartz (Si $$\text {O}_2$$ ) flyer impacting a lead zirconate titanate (PZT-4) target and find that the solutions obtained using the modified DAC algorithm compare well with those obtained using both a finite-difference time-domain method, and the commercial finite element code, COMSOL multiphysics.

AB - Evidence drawn from the intersection of historical memory and politics in Russia underline not only on-going framing battles over the Soviet past. The evidence suggests that the Kremlin is unwilling to develop and impose on society historical narratives which promote chauvinism, hypernationalism, and re-Stalinization. Although such an agenda has some support among incumbent elites and in society, it remains subordinate in terms of political influence as of early 2016. Instead, the regime is now extending support to groups in society and the political establishment which favor a critical assessment of the Soviet era, including Stalinism. This emerging criticism of the Soviet past serves a number of important goals of the leadership, including re-engagement with the West. To this end, the Kremlin recently approved new history textbooks critical of the Soviet past as well as a significant program that memorializes the victims of Soviet repressions. Yet the regime is unlikely to usher in thorough de-Stalinization which would threaten its power. Instead, the Kremlin is attempting to assemble a grand narrative that approves, as well as criticizes - in different measures - each of the regimes that existed in the 20th century (tsarist, communist, and post-communist). This incipient narrative constitutes a form of bricolage, which involves the retrieval and reassembly of diverse, often conflicting, elements to solve a problem. Here the problem is the long-standing, divisive issue of how to evaluate the history of 20th century Russia and its different regimes. The Kremlin now seeks to knit together the diverse identities of these regimes through the unifying historical thread of the Russian state. This act of bricolage also seeks to reconcile the contradictions within each regime: elements of the new narrative can be expected to condemn the inhumanity of Stalin and Stalinism while other facets will extol industrialization and the Great Patriotic War as the achievements of Russian-led Soviet society. From this perspective, neither re-Stalinization nor de-Stalinization is likely to occur in Putin's Russia. Nevertheless, if recent initiatives remain in place, critical assessments of Soviet foreign and domestic policies will become increasingly commonplace. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objective: The purpose of this paper was to provide an extensive description of a case of sopite syndrome, a manifestation of motion sickness scarcely described in the literature. Design: The following questionnaires were used to assess sopite syndrome symptoms pre, during and post parabolic flight; Misery Scale rate, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, the Motion Sickness Assessment Questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Study sample: Case report of a 35-year old female compared to a control group (n = 26). Results: We describe of sopite syndrome during parabolic flight. The subject reported drowsiness and she noted mood changes such as irritation and annoyance. Furthermore, she was not able to perform her assigned task. Her symptoms escalated into extreme fatigue and the inability to stay awake. Nauseogenic symptoms improved, but soporific symptoms persisted for several hours after the motion stimulus (i.e. parabolic flight). Conclusions: This case points towards the need for controlled studies to assess the prevalence of this syndrome among the general population and select groups. Future research should focus on developing tests for personnel screening and explore treatment options. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - This study explores the mechanical properties of an E-glass fabric composite reinforced with anchored multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNTs were grown on the E-glass fabric using a floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition procedure. The E-glass fabric with attached CNTs was then incorporated into resin based composites and compared to similar composites without CNTs. Long and short beam bending tests, uniaxial compression measurements for energy dissipation, high strain-rate Split-Hopkinson pressure bar measurements, and ballistic performance (V50) tests were performed to characterize the mechanical properties of the CNT composites. The CNT composites showed a reduction in interlaminar shear strength by 25.9%. They also showed an increase in the specific energy absorption by 106% at high strain rates and an increase in energy density dissipation by 64.3% after 5 cycles at quasi-static strain rates. In ballistic V50 tests, the CNT based composites showed a higher V50 value by 11.1%. Due to their reduced weight and energy dissipation properties, the direct growth of CNTs on E-glass fabrics incorporated into composites have potential defense applications such as blast protection.

AB - Background: Knowledge is limited regarding how long improvements in biomechanics remain after completion of a lower extremity injury prevention program. Purpose: To evaluate the effects of an injury prevention program on movement technique and peak vertical ground-reaction forces (VGRF) over time compared with a standard warm-up (SWU) program. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 1104 incoming freshmen (age range, 17-22 years) at a military academy in the United States volunteered to participate. Participants were cluster-randomized by military company to either the Dynamic Integrated Movement Enhancement (DIME) injury prevention program or SWU. A random subsample of participants completed a standardized jump-landing task at each time point: immediately before the intervention (PRE), immediately after (POST), and 2 (POST2M), 4 (POST4M), 6 (POST6M), and 8 months (POST8M) after the intervention. VGRF data collected during the jump-landing task were normalized to body weight (%BW). The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) was used to evaluate movement technique during the jump landing. The change scores (Δ) for each variable (LESS, VGRF) between the group’s average value at PRE and each time point were calculated. Separate univariate analyses of variance were performed to evaluate group differences. Results: The results showed a greater decrease in mean (±SD) VGRF in the DIME group compared with the SWU group at all retention time points: POST2M (SWU [Δ%BW], −0.13 ± 0.82; DIME, −0.62 ± 0.91; P = .001), POST4M (SWU, −0.15 ± 0.98; DIME,−0.46 ± 0.64; P = .04), POST6M (SWU, −0.04 ± 0.96; DIME, −0.53 ± 0.83; P = .004), and POST8M (SWU, 0.38 ± 0.95; DIME, −0.11 ± 0.98; P = .003), but there was not a significant improvement in the DIME group between PRE and POST8M (Δ%BW, −0.11 ± 0.98). No group differences in Δ LESS were observed. Conclusion: The study findings demonstrated that an injury prevention program performed as a warm-up can reduce vertical ground-reaction forces compared with a standard warm-up but a maintenance program is likely necessary in order for continued benefit. Clinical Relevance: Injury prevention programs may need to be performed constantly, or at least every sport season, in order for participants to maintain the protective effects against injury.

AB - Lead substituted hydroxyapatite (Pb-HAP) has been an active catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reactions. CO 3 2 − substituted HAP (HAP-CO 3 ) has showed enhanced oxide ion conductivity than bare HAP in high temperature solid oxide fuel cells. Substitutions for both cations and anions in HAP structure (Pb-HAP-CO 3 ) are promising to integrate the catalytic property of Pb-HAP and oxide ion conductive property of HAP-CO 3 into one apatite-based ceramic material that can be manufactured into membrane reactors for possessing CH 4 activation and O 2 permeation capabilities for efficient OCM reactions. In this work, the effects of substitutions for both cation (Pb 2+ ) and anion (CO 3 2 − ) in HAP structure on OCM reactions were studied. The composition and physicochemical properties of HAP catalysts were changed by the cation and anion substitutions, respectively, and as consequences, they influenced the catalytic performances of HAP structure in OCM reactions. The selectivity to C 2 (ethylene and ethane) products increased in the order of HAP-CO 3 < HAP < Pb-HAP-CO 3 < Pb-HAP, while Pb-HAP-CO 3 showed the best stability and comparable C 2 yield (under optimized reaction conditions) to Pb-HAP catalyst. Under different reaction temperature and/or CH 4 /O 2 ratio in the OCM reactions, the CH 4 conversion and C 2 or CO x (CO and CO 2 ) selectivity showed a strong dependence on the composition of HAP-based catalysts. The present study forms a basis for understanding of the correlations between the composition, structure, and catalytic performance of HAP and other apatite structured catalysts, which are potential membrane materials for OCM reactions in membrane reactors.

AB - Automated and efficient algorithms to perform segmentation of terrestrial LiDAR data is critical for exploitation of 3D point clouds, where the ultimate goal is CAD modeling of the segmented data. In this work, a novel segmentation technique is proposed, starting with octree decomposition to recursively divide the scene into octants or voxels, followed by a novel split and merge framework that uses graph theory and a series of connectivity analyses to intelligently merge components into larger connected components. The connectivity analysis, based on a combination of proximity, orientation, and curvature connectivity criteria, is designed for the segmentation of pipes, vessels, and walls from terrestrial LiDAR data of piping systems at industrial sites, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and steel mills. The proposed segmentation method is exercised on two terrestrial LiDAR datasets of a steel mill and a chemical plant, demonstrating its ability to correctly reassemble and segregate features of interest.

AB - We investigate the performance of TRIADS, a numerical implementation of a phase-resolving, nonlinear, spectral model describing directional wave evolution in intermediate and shallow water. TRIADS simulations of shoaling waves generated by Hurricane Bill, 2009 are compared to directional spectral estimates based on observations collected at the Field Research Facility of the US Army Corps Of Engineers, at Duck, NC. Both the ability of the model to capture the processes essential to the nonlinear wave evolution, and the efficiency of the numerical implementations are analyzed and discussed.

AB - Model studies were conducted to investigate the potential coral reef sediment exposure from dredging associated with proposed development of a deepwater wharf in Apra Harbor, Guam. The Particle Tracking Model (PTM) was applied to quantify the exposure of coral reefs to material suspended by the dredging operations at two alternative sites. Key PTM features include the flexible capability of continuous multiple releases of sediment parcels, control of parcel/substrate interaction, and the ability to efficiently track vast numbers of parcels. This flexibility has facilitated simulating the combined effects of sediment released from clamshell dredging and chiseling within Apra Harbor. Because the rate of material released into the water column by some of the processes is not well understood or known a priori , the modeling approach was to bracket parameters within reasonable ranges to produce a suite of potential results from multiple model runs. Sensitivity analysis to model parameters is used to select the appropriate parameter values for bracketing. Data analysis results include mapping the time series and the maximum values of sedimentation, suspended sediment concentration, and deposition rate. Data were used to quantify various exposure processes that affect coral species in Apra Harbor. The goal of this research is to develop a robust methodology for quantifying and bracketing exposure mechanisms to coral (or other receptors) from dredging operations. These exposure values were utilized in an ecological assessment to predict effects (coral reef impacts) from various dredging scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Coral reefs are in decline worldwide due to anthropogenic stressors including reductions in water and substratum quality. Dredging results in the mobilization of sediments, which can stress and kill corals via increasing turbidity, tissue damage and burial. The Particle Tracking Model (PTM) was applied to predict the potential impacts of dredging-associated sediment exposure on the coral reef ecosystems of Apra Harbor, Guam. The data were interpreted using maps of bathymetry and coral abundance and distribution in conjunction with impact parameters of suspended sediment concentration (turbidity) and sedimentation using defined coral response thresholds. The results are presented using a “stoplight” model of negligible or limited impacts to coral reefs (green), moderate stress from which some corals would be expected to recover while others would not (yellow) and severe stress resulting in mortality (red). The red conditions for sediment deposition rate and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) were defined as values exceeding 25 mg cm −2 d −1 over any 30 day window and >20 mg/l for any 18 days in any 90 day period over a column of water greater than 2 m, respectively. The yellow conditions were defined as values >10 mg cm −2 d −1 and <25 mg cm −2 d −1 over any 30 day period, and as 20% of 3 months' concentration exceeding 10 mg/l for the deposition and SSC, respectively. The model also incorporates the potential for cumulative effects on the assumption that even sub-lethal stress levels can ultimately lead to mortality in a multi-stressor system. This modeling approach can be applied by resource managers and regulatory agencies to support management decisions related to planning, site selection, damage reduction, and compensatory mitigation.

AB - A methodology for optimal ground-based sensor network design for an evapotranspiration (ET) estimation method which uses solar radiation as the only parameter is developed and evaluated in this study. The methodology employs geospatial analyses and a geostatistical approach, and data from ground-based sensors and satellite-based estimates of solar insolation (i.e. total amount of solar radiation energy received on a given surface area during a given time) considering the spatial variability of the data. The applicability of the methodology is demonstrated by using Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-estimated and 29 ground sensor-based observed solar insolation data in the South Florida region of the USA. Results indicate that the optimal design of network depends on the spatial variability of insolation, analysis block size defined based on region-specific radiation characteristics, and the standard error used as a metric of network estimation accuracy.

AB - Purpose: Polymer-xerogel composite materials have been introduced to better optimize local anesthetics release kinetics for the pain management. In a previous study, it was shown that by adjusting various compositional and nano-structural properties of both inorganic xerogels and polymers, zero-order release kinetics over 7 days can be achieved in vitro. In this study, in vitro release properties are confirmed in vivo using a model that tests for actual functionality of the released local anesthetics. Methods: Composite materials made with tyrosine-polyethylene glycol(PEG)-derived poly(ether carbonate) copolymers and silica-based sol-gel (xerogel) were synthesized. The in vivo release from the composite controlled release materials was demonstrated by local anesthetics delivery in a rat incisional pain model. Results: The tactile allodynia resulting from incision was significantly attenuated in rats receiving drug-containing composites compared with the control and sham groups for the duration during which natural healing had not yet taken place. The concentration of drug (bupivacaine) in blood is dose dependent and maintained stable up to 120 h post-surgery, the longest time point measured. Conclusions: These in vivo studies show that polymer-xerogel composite materials with controlled release properties represent a promising class of controlled release materials for pain management.

AB - This paper provides a review of progress in catalytic conversion of JP-8 fuel and its surrogates made over the last decade. The effect of different types of catalyst and support materials, as well as different preparation methods, is discussed in detail. The derivation of kinetic models for computational studies is also examined. Particular attention is given to the development of sulfur tolerant catalysts and the mechanisms by which catalyst poisoning occurs, as this is an important obstacle to overcome for systems using sulfur-laden fuel. Suggestions for further research are offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Emotion measurement has received increasing attention as reflected in the growing number of methods for measuring emotions in a product development context, including questionnaires. One such emotion profile, the EsSense Profile® (King & Meiselman, 2010) contains 39 emotions and has had increased use in product research. One of the practical challenges to its wider adoption is the length of the profile. We present results from 4 sets of studies designed to evaluate the semantic structure of the EsSense Profile®, to develop a shorter version of it, and to validate the shorter version, both conceptually and practically. A sorting methodology was used to sort the 39 EsSense Profile® emotions (printed on cards) into groups based on a similarity criterion, using two subject populations ( n = 121). A unique modification was implemented where subjects indicated from each sorted pile which word in that pile best described the sorted group. Hierarchical clustering was used to highlight the structure, and candidate words for removal were chosen, reducing the list to 25 words. Using both the EsSense Profile® and EsSense25 lists, a validation sorting study was performed ( n = 87). Confirmation studies conducted online ( n = 1728) and in CLTs ( n = 306) used the questionnaires in real-world scenarios, including food-name evaluations, brand evaluations and product tasting. Overall both lists performed similarly, but analyses revealed that there may be important context effects in which the meaning of words may change across product categories and across emotion lists. We finish with a discussion of why this might be and what this means to the sensory practitioner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Introduction We hypothesized that cerebral alterations in edema, perfusion, and/or intracranial pressure ( ICP) are related to the development of acute mountain sickness ( AMS). Methods To vary AMS, we manipulated ambient oxygen, barometric pressure, and exercise duration. Thirty-six subjects were tested before, during and after 8 h exposures in (1) normobaric normoxia ( NN; 300 m elevation equivalent); (2) normobaric hypoxia ( NH; 4400 m equivalent); and (3) hypobaric hypoxia ( HH; 4400 m equivalent). After a passive 15 min ascent, each subject participated in either 10 or 60 min of cycling exercise at 50% of heart rate reserve. We measured tissue absorption and scattering via radio-frequency near-infrared spectroscopy ( NIRS), optic nerve sheath diameter ( ONSD) via ultrasound, and AMS symptoms before, during, and after environmental exposures. Results We observed significant increases in NIRS tissue scattering of 0.35 ± 0.11 cm−1 ( P = 0.001) in subjects with AMS (i.e., AMS+), consistent with mildly increased cerebral edema. We also noted a small, but significant increase in total hemoglobin concentrations with AMS+, 3.2 ± 0.8 μmolL−1 ( P < 0.0005), consistent with increased cerebral perfusion. No effect of exercise duration was found, nor did we detect differences between NH and HH. ONSD assays documented a small but significant increase in ONSD (0.11 ± 0.02 mm; P < 0.0005) with AMS+, suggesting mildly elevated ICP, as well as further increased ONSD with longer exercise duration ( P = 0.005). Conclusion In AMS+, we found evidence of cerebral edema, elevated cerebral perfusion, and elevated ICP. The observed changes were small but consistent with the reversible nature of AMS.

AB - Growing food crops for biofuel on productive agricultural lands may become less viable as requirements to feed a growing human population increase. This has increased interest in growing cellulosic biofuel feedstocks on marginal lands. Switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.), a warm-season perennial, is a viable bioenergy crop candidate because it produces high yields on marginal lands under low fertility conditions. In other studies, switchgrass dry matter (DM) yields on marginal croplands varied from 5.0 to 10.0 Mg ha annually. West Virginia contains immense areas of reclaimed surface mined lands that could support a switchgrass-based biofuel industry, but yield data on these lands are lacking. Field experiments were established in 2008 to determine yields of three switchgrass cultivars on two West Virginia mine sites. One site reclaimed with topsoil and municipal sludge produced biomass yields of 19.0 Mg DM ha for Cave-in-Rock switchgrass after the sixth year, almost double the varieties Shawnee and Carthage, at 10.0 and 5.7 Mg ha, respectively. Switchgrass yields on another site with no topsoil were 1.0 Mg ha after the sixth year, with little variation among cultivars. A second experiment was conducted at two other mine sites with a layer of topsoil over gray overburden. Cave-in-Rock was seeded with fertilizer applications of 0, 34, and 68 kg N-PO-KO ha. After the third year, the no fertilizer treatment averaged biomass yields of 0.3 Mg ha, while responses to the other two rates averaged 1.1 and 2.0 Mg ha, respectively. Fertilization significantly increased yields on reclaimed mine soils. Where mine soil fertility was good, yields were similar to those reported on agricultural soils in the Northeastern USA.

AB - Introduction There are limited longitudinal studies that have evaluated bone mineral density (BMD) changes in college-aged women. Our objective was to simultaneously evaluate factors influencing 4-year BMD change. Methods This was a longitudinal cohort study of healthy, physically active women in the US Military Academy (n = 91; average age = 18.4 years). Assessments over four years included: height, weight, calcium intake, physical fitness, menstrual function (annual number cycles), oral contraceptives (OCs) or depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) use, and eating disorder behavior (Eating Disorder Inventory; (EDI)). BMD was measured annually at the lumbar spine and total hip by dual X-ray absorptiometry and calcaneal BMD by PIXI. Slope of 4 year BMD change at each skeletal site (spine total hip and calcaneus) was calculated for each woman. Results BMD gains occurred at the spine in 50% and the hip in 36% of women. In unadjusted analyses, spine bone gain was positively related to menstrual cycle frequency (p = 0.04). Spine and hip BMD loss occurred in those using DMPA (p < 0.01) and those with the highest EDI quartile scores (p < 0.05). BMD change was unrelated to OC use. Hip and calcaneus BMD decreased with weight loss (average 4.8 + 2.2 lb/year) as compared to those with stable weight/weight gain (p < 0.05). In multivariable analysis, spine BMD increase was significantly related to African American (AA) race, normal EDI score and normal menses. Hip BMD increase was related to AA race, weight increase and normal menses. DMPA use was associated with spine, hip, and calcaneus bone loss. Conclusion On average, BMD may modestly increase in college-aged women, in the absence of risk factors. However, risk factors including subclinical eating disorders, weight loss, menstrual dysfunction and DMPA use can have significant detrimental effects on BMD in young healthy physically active women.

AB - For over a decade, moral psychologists have been actively researching the processes underlying moral judgments that are made intuitively without reference to an action's concrete harms or injustice, such as the well-known case of nonprocreative, consensual incest. We suggest that the reason some judge such scenarios as wrong (using intuitive feelings) and others do not (using deliberative reasons) is due to an important motivational distinction. Consistent with this view, across 7 studies, we demonstrate that negative judgments of such moral scenarios are more intense when processed in the promotion focus compared to the prevention focus, and that this is due to differences in whether eager (intuitive feelings) versus vigilant (deliberative reasons) means are employed in judging these moral wrongs. By examining both boundary conditions and possible underlying mechanisms for regulatory focus differences in moral judgment intensity, we expand our understanding of the differences between promotion and prevention regarding how proscriptive judgments are processed, while integrating these differences with existing theories in moral psychology.

AB - Introduction: This study compared the effects of vasopressin via tibial intraosseous (IO) and intravenous (IV) routes on maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), the time to maximum concentration (Tmax), return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and time to ROSC in a hypovolemic cardiac arrest model. Methods: This study was a randomized prospective, between-subjects experimental design. A computer program randomly assigned 28 Yorkshire swine to one of four groups: IV (n=7), IO tibia (n=7), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) + defibrillation (n=7), and a control group that received just CPR (n=7). Ventricular fibrillation was induced, and subjects remained in arrest for two minutes. CPR was initiated and 40 units of vasopressin were administered via IO or IV routes. Blood samples were collected at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 minutes. CPR and defibrillation were initiated for 20 minutes or until ROSC was achieved. We measured vasopressin concentrations using highperformance liquid chromatography. Results: There was no significant difference between the IO and IV groups relative to achieving ROSC (p=1.0) but a significant difference between the IV compared to the CPR+ defibrillation group (p=0.031) and IV compared to the CPR-only group (p=0.001). There was a significant difference between the IO group compared to the CPR+ defibrillation group (p=0.031) and IO compared to the CPR-only group (p=0.001). There was no significant difference between the CPR + defibrillation group and the CPR group (p=0.127). There was no significant difference in Cmax between the IO and IV groups (p=0.079). The mean ± standard deviation of Cmax of the IO group was 58,709±25,463pg/mL compared to the IV group, which was 106,198±62,135pg/mL. There was no significant difference in mean Tmax between the groups (p=0.084). There were no significant differences in odds of ROSC between the tibial IO and IV groups. Conclusion: Prompt access to the vascular system using the IO route can circumvent the interruption in treatment observed with attempting conventional IV access. The IO route is an effective modality for the treatment of hypovolemic cardiac arrest and may be considered first line for rapid vascular access. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Transition metal fluorides (such as FeF 3 and FeF 2 ) based on conversion chemistry have been considered as a promising alternative to the intercalation cathode materials due to the high capacity and high energy density. However, the critical challenges for these materials come from the absence of Li source in them, and low power density and poor cycling stability. Herein, pre-lithiated FeF 3 with extremely small size of Fe and LiF nanoparticles (both ∼6 nm) homogeneously embedded in the carbon matrix were synthesized using a facile and scalable in situ strategy. Benefited from the ultra-small Fe and LiF nanoparticles, uniform distribution, and intimate contact between the active species and the carbon matrix, the particle-to-particle interfacial resistance and diffusion length for Li and F are dramatically reduced. As a result, a high specific capacity of over 400 mA h g −1 with a discharge energy density of ∼700 W h kg −1 and favorable cycling performance are achieved, making such composite a promising high-capacity cathode for LIBs. Furthermore, the built-in Li source in this composite renders it a drop-in replacement for cathode materials used in the current LIB configurations, thus paving the way for the practical applications in the next generation of high energy density LIBs.

AB - Phosgene (CG), a toxic inhalation and industrial hazard, causes bronchoconstriction, vasoconstriction and associated pathological effects that could be life threatening. Ion channels of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family have been identified to act as specific chemosensory molecules in the respiratory tract in the detection, control of adaptive responses and initiation of detrimental signaling cascades upon exposure to various toxic inhalation hazards (TIH); their activation due to TIH exposure may result in broncho- and vasoconstriction. We studied changes in the regulation of intracellular free Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i ) in cultures of human bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMC) and human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMEC) exposed to CG (16 ppm, 8 min), using an air/liquid interface exposure system. CG increased [Ca 2+ ] i ( p < 0.05) in both cell types, The CG-induced [Ca 2+ ] i was blocked ( p < 0.05) by two types of TRP channel blockers, SKF-96365, a general TRP channel blocker, and RR, a general TRPV (vanilloid type) blocker, in both BSMC and HPMEC. These effects correlate with the in vivo efficacies of these compounds to protect against lung injury and 24 h lethality from whole body CG inhalation exposure in mice (8–10 ppm × 20 min). Thus the TRP channel mechanism appears to be a potential target for intervention in CG toxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - NbN x layers were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on MgO(001) substrates in 0.67 Pa pure N 2 at T s = 600–1000 °C. T s ≥ 800 °C leads to epitaxial layers with a cube-on-cube relationship to the substrate: (001) NbN ||(001) MgO and [100] NbN ||[100] MgO . The layers are nearly stoichiometric with x = 0.95–0.98 for T s ≤ 800 °C, but become nitrogen deficient with x = 0.81 and 0.91 for T s = 900 and 1000 °C. X-ray diffraction reciprocal space maps indicate a small in-plane compressive strain of − 0.0008 ± 0.0004 for epitaxial layers, and a relaxed lattice constant that decreases from 4.372 Å for x = 0.81 to 4.363 Å for x = 0.98. This unexpected trend is attributed to increasing Nb and decreasing N vacancy concentrations, as quantified by first-principles calculations of the lattice parameter vs. point defect concentration, and consistent with the relatively small calculated formation energies for N and Nb vacancies of 1.00 and − 0.67 eV at 0 K and − 0.53 and 0.86 eV at 1073 K, respectively. The N-deficient NbN 0.81 (001) layer exhibits the highest crystalline quality with in-plane and out-of-plane x-ray coherence lengths of 4.5 and 13.8 nm, attributed to a high Nb-adatom diffusion on an N-deficient growth front. However, it also contains inclusions of hexagonal NbN grains which lead to a relatively high measured hardness H = 28.0 ± 5.1 GPa and elastic modulus E = 406 ± 70 GPa. In contrast, the nearly stoichiometric phase-pure epitaxial cubic NbN 0.98 (001) layer has a H = 17.8 ± 0.7 GPa and E = 315 ± 13 GPa. The latter value is slightly smaller than 335 and 361 GPa, the isotropic elastic modulus and the [100]-indentation modulus, respectively, predicted for NbN from the calculated c 11 = 641 GPa, c 12 = 140 GPa, and c 44 = 78 GPa. The electrical resistivity ranges from 171 to 437 μΩ cm at room temperature and 155–646 μΩ cm at 77 K, suggesting carrier localization due to disorder from vacancies and crystalline defects.

AB - Proper site selection is critical to the development and expansion of marine aquaculture. Major considerations for site selection include: potential for competing uses, environmental interactions, and animal productivity. Two types of existing site selection tools, mapping and modeling, have proven useful independently, and in some recent studies have proven useful when used together. GIS-based mapping tools have become important in the decision-making process. These tools provide access to marine and coastal datasets allowing farmers and extension agents to gather information on availability of cultivation sites. They are also used by resource managers to assess potential use conflicts (e.g. existence of commercial fishing, mooring areas, fixed fishing gear) and possible environmental interactions (e.g. presence of seagrasses, contaminants, threatened or endangered species). Models have been used separately to predict animal growth, farm productivity, and farm-related effects on the surrounding water and sediment quality. The integration of the Farm Aquaculture Resource Management (FARM) model ( http://www.farmscale.org ) into the U.S. state of Connecticut's Aquaculture Mapping Atlas ( http://seagrant.uconn.edu/whatwedo/aquaculture/shellmap.php ) was tested in three geographically distinct waterbodies within Connecticut (CT) waters of Long Island Sound. Nearshore waters within the towns of Mystic, Milford, and Westport were selected as pilot locations to determine usability and capability of the combined tools. Data from two long-term offshore sampling stations adjacent to existing shellfish leases were used to test spatial and temporal sampling variability impacts on model results. Partnerships with local monitoring programs and growers were important for acquisition of water quality data, oyster measurement data, and information about local culture practices. All sites were deemed suitable for oyster aquaculture based on model results that predicted Moderate to High growth based on estimated time to reach harvest size from one in (2.54 cm) seed oysters ( Crassostrea virginica ). Time to harvest varied from 282 days (High growth) to 645 days (Moderate growth) among the 22 stations in the three nearshore sites, and 724–956 days (Moderate growth) at the two offshore sites. Results from the two long-term offshore stations indicate that data from the same year must be used when comparing production-based suitability of sites. Addition of potential production estimates improved the ability to select between suitable mapping-based sites. This mapping and modeling combination should be encouraged to provide a strong basis for successful siting and expansion of aquaculture while minimizing user conflict and adverse environmental interactions. This approach may be particularly useful in waterbodies where shellfish aquaculture is possible but is not well established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder that is characterized by painful vaso-occlusive crises, for which there are few treatment options. Platelets mediate intercellular adhesion and thrombosis during vaso-occlusion in sickle cell anemia, which suggests a role for antiplatelet agents in modifying disease events.Methods: Children and adolescents 2 through 17 years of age with sickle cell anemia were randomly assigned to receive oral prasugrel or placebo for 9 to 24 months. The primary end point was the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis, a composite of painful crisis or acute chest syndrome. The secondary end points were the rate of sickle cell-related pain and the intensity of pain, which were assessed daily with the use of pain diaries.Results: A total of 341 patients underwent randomization at 51 sites in 13 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The rate of vaso-occlusive crisis events per person-year was 2.30 in the prasugrel group and 2.77 in the placebo group (rate ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.66 to 1.05; P=0.12). There were no significant differences between the groups in the secondary end points of diary-reported events. The safety end points, including the frequency of bleeding events requiring medical intervention, of hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic adverse events that occurred while patients were taking prasugrel or placebo, and of discontinuations due to prasugrel or placebo, did not differ significantly between the groups.Conclusions: Among children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia, the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis was not significantly lower among those who received prasugrel than among those who received placebo. There were no significant between-group differences in the safety findings. (Funded by Daiichi Sankyo and Eli Lilly; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01794000.). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) oxidation (0.121–6.04 μM) by heat-activated persulfate was evaluated at 20–60 °C with 4.2–84 mM S 2 O 8 2 − and in the presence of soluble fuel components to assess feasibility for in-situ remediation of groundwater. 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic acid/sulfonate (6:2 FTSA) and PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) persulfate oxidation was also evaluated in a subset of conditions given their co-occurrence at many sites. High performance liquid chromatography electron spray tandem mass spectrometry was used for organic analysis and fluoride was measured using a fluoride-specific electrode. PFOA pseudo-1st order transformation rates ( k 1,PFOA ) increased with increasing temperature (half-lives from 0.1 to 7 d for 60 to 30 °C) sequentially removing CF 2 groups (‘unzipping’) to shorter chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) and F − . At 50 °C, a 5-fold increase in S 2 O 8 2 − led to a 5-fold increase in k 1,PFOA after which self-scavenging by sulfate radicals decreased the relative rate of increase with more S 2 O 8 2 − . Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene did not affect k 1,PFOA even at 40 times higher molar concentrations than PFOA. A modeling approach to explore pathways strongly supported that for 6:2 FTSA, both the ethyl linkage and CF 2 –CH 2 bond of 6:2 FTSA oxidize simultaneously, resulting in a ratio of ∼25/75 PFHpA/PFHxA. The effectiveness of heat-activated S 2 O 8 2 − on PFOA oxidation was reduced in a soil slurry; therefore, repeated persulfate injections are required to efficiently achieve complete oxidation in the field. However, PFOS remained unaltered even at higher activation temperatures, thus limiting the sole use of heat-activated persulfate for perfluoroalkyl substances removal in the field.

AB - The purpose of this research was to utilize a series of models to estimate the stress in a cross section of the tibia, located 62% from the proximal end, during walking. Twenty-eight male, active duty soldiers walked on an instrumented treadmill while external force data and kinematics were recorded. A rigid body model was used to estimate joint moments and reaction forces. A musculoskeletal model was used to gather muscle length, muscle velocity, moment arm and orientation information. Optimization procedures were used to estimate muscle forces and finally internal bone forces and moments were applied to an inhomogeneous, subject specific bone model obtained from CT scans to estimate stress in the bone cross section. Validity was assessed by comparison to stresses calculated from strain gage data in the literature and sensitivity was investigated using two simplified versions of the bone model-a homogeneous model and an ellipse approximation. Peak compressive stress occurred on the posterior aspect of the cross section (−47.5±14.9 MPa). Peak tensile stress occurred on the anterior aspect (27.0±11.7 MPa) while the location of peak shear was variable between subjects (7.2±2.4 MPa). Peak compressive, tensile and shear stresses were within 0.52 MPa, 0.36 MPa and 3.02 MPa respectively of those calculated from the converted strain gage data. Peak values from a inhomogeneous model of the bone correlated well with homogeneous model (normal: 0.99; shear: 0.94) as did the normal ellipse model ( r =0.89–0.96). However, the relationship between shear stress in the inhomogeneous model and ellipse model was less accurate ( r =0.64). The procedures detailed in this paper provide a non-invasive and relatively quick method of estimating cross sectional stress that holds promise for assessing injury and osteogenic stimulus in bone during normal physical activity.

AB - This study provides the first evaluation of the cytotoxic effects of the recently identified palytoxin (PLTX) analog, ovatoxin-a (OVTX-a), the major toxin produced by Ostreopsis cf. ovata in the Mediterranean Sea. Its increasing detection during Ostreopsis blooms and in seafood highlights the need to characterize its toxic effects and to set up appropriate detection methods. OVTX-a is about 100 fold less potent than PLTX in reducing HaCaT cells viability (EC50 = 1.1 ? 10-9 M vs 1.8 ? 10-11 M, MTT test) in agreement with a reduced binding affinity (Kd = 1.2 ? 10-9 vs 2.7 ? 10-11 M, saturation experiments on intact cells). Similarly, OVTX-a hemolytic effect is lower than that of the reference PLTX compound. Ost-D shows the lowest cytotoxicity toward HaCaT keratinocytes, suggesting the lack of a hydroxyl group at C44 as a critical feature for PLTXs cytotoxic effects. A sandwich ELISA developed for PLTX detects also OVTX-a in a sensitive (LOD = 4.2 and LOQ = 5.6 ng/mL) and accurate manner (Bias = 0.3%), also in O. cf. ovata extracts and contaminated mussels. Although in vitro OVTX-a appears less toxic than PLTX, its cytotoxicity at nanomolar concentrations after short exposure time rises some concern for human health. The sandwich ELISA can be a viable screening method for OVTXs detection in monitoring program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The primary goal of the eighth industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was to test the ability of molecular simulation methods to predict the adsorption of organic adsorbates in activated carbon materials. The challenge focused on the adsorption of perfluorohexane in the activated carbon standard BAM-P109. Entrants were challenged to predict the adsorption of perfluorohexane in the activated carbon at a temperature of 273 K and at relative pressures of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.6. The relative pressure (P/Po) is defined as that relative to the bulk saturation pressure predicted by the fluid model at a given temperature (273 K in this case). The predictions were judged by comparison to a set of experimentally determined values, which are published here for the first time and were not disclosed to the entrants prior to the challenge. Benchmark experimental studies, described herein, were also carried out and provided to entrants in order to aid in the development of new force fields and simulation methods to be employed in the challenge. These studies included argon, carbon dioxide, and water adsorption in the BAM-P109 activated carbon as well as X-ray diffraction, X-ray microtomography, photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic emission spectroscopy studies of BAM-P109. Several concurrent studies were carried out for the BAM-P108 activated carbon. These are included in the current manuscript for comparison. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A substantial number of laboratory and field tests have been conducted to assess performance of various wheel designs in loose soils. However, there is no consolidated database which includes data from several sources. In this study, a consolidated database was created on tests conducted with wheeled vehicles operating in loose dry sand to evaluate existing soil mobility algorithms. The database included wheels of different diameters, widths, heights, and inflation pressures, operating under varying loading conditions. Nine technical reports were identified containing 5253 records, based on existing archives of laboratory and field tests of wheels operating in loose soils. The database structure was assembled to include traction performance parameters such as drawbar pull, torque, traction, motion resistance, sinkage, and wheel slip. Once developed, the database was used to evaluate and support validation of closed form solutions for these variables in the Vehicle Terrain Interface ( VTI ) model. The correlation between predicted and measured traction performance parameters was evaluated. Comparison of the predicted versus measured performance parameters suggests that the closed form solutions within the VTI model are functional but can be further improved to provide more accurate predictions for off-road vehicle performance.

AB - 3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) is currently being investigated in the development of insensitive munitions. Rats orally exposed to NTO have demonstrated testicular toxicity in both subacute and subchronic studies; however, toxicity has not been verified in mice. Also, previous studies have not demonstrated the nature of NTO-induced testicular toxicity due to the prolonged dosing regimen utilized and effects of maturation depletion. In this study, a time-course design was used and the earliest pathological changes in testes of adult BALB/c mice orally dosed with NTO in corn oil suspensions at 0, 500 or 1000 mg/kg-day NTO for 1, 3, 7 or 14 d were evaluated. The earliest NTO-induced testicular changes occurred in the 1000 mg/kg-day group at day 7 and the 500 mg/kg-day group at day 14 as evident by the presence of bi- and multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) of almost all spermatids in an isolated stage II–III tubule/step 2–3 and a stage IX tubule/step 9 in the 1000 and 500 mg/kg-day groups, respectively. Testicular toxicity was characterized by degeneration and the presence of bi- and MNGCs of spermatids (stages II–III and IX), which progressed to additional germ cell degeneration as dosing duration increased. Occasional step 16 spermatid retention was also noted in stage XII and I tubules in the day 14, 1000 mg/kg-day group. These data indicate that NTO is a testicular toxicant in mice and that spermatids are the most sensitive cell. The presence of retained spermatids warrants further investigation regarding NTO’s role as a direct Sertoli cell toxicant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Tick-borne disease surveillance was conducted monthly at different sites in four southwestern provinces of the Republic of Korea (ROK) from April-October 2013. Three general habitats were surveyed: grasses (grasses and herbaceous and crawling vegetation), forests (pine, larch, deciduous, and mixed), and forests+grasses. A total of 27,029 ticks (1,534 adults; 11,755 nymphs; 13,740 larvae) belonging to three genera and five species were collected. Haemaphysalis longicornis (64.76%; 17,504) was the most commonly collected tick, followed by Haemaphysalis flava (29.22%; 7,899), Ixodes nipponensis (5.83%; 1,575), Amblyomma testudinarium (0.17%; 46), and Haemaphysalis phasiana (0.02%; 5). Overall, adult ticks accounted for only 5.68% of all ticks collected, while nymphs and larvae accounted for 43.49% and 50.83%, respectively. Haemaphysalis longicornis nymphs were commonly collected from April-June, followed by increased numbers of adults from June-August, and large numbers of larvae from August-September, while low numbers of all stages were collected during October. Haemaphysalis flava adults and nymphs were commonly collected from April-June and September-October, while large numbers of larvae were collected from July-August. Although fewer I. nipponensis were collected, seasonal developmental stage patterns followed those of H. flava. Similar proportions of males (47.96%) and females (52.04%) of H. flava were collected. However, the proportion of H. longicornis females (85.83%) collected was significantly higher than for males (14.17%), while the proportion of I. nipponensis males (57.62%) was significantly higher than for females (42.38%). Overall, the mean number of ticks collected/hour of collection was highest for forests+grasses (108.54), followed by grasses (97.28) and forests (66.64). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The present state of navigation engineering knowledge concerning nautical depth in ports and waterways with fluid mud is summarized to examine the potential for successful application of the nautical depth concept in U.S. navigable waterways. Nautical depth defines a safe and effective channel bottom criterion in areas where fluid mud confounds conventional acoustic (echo sounder) surveying methods. Fluid mud is a high-concentration suspension that typically behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid. It occurs in ports and channels on all U. S. coastlines and accounts for a significant portion of the United States' $1 billion dredging expense. Nautical depth has been adopted in multiple ports on three continents. Where nautical depth application is appropriate, it often reduces dredging frequency and dredged material volume and can provide water quality benefits. Multiple experiments and field experience have shown that vessels can safely transit areas with fluid mud below the keel. The United States' adoption of the nautical depth concept for select ports and waterways can be expected to reduce dredging frequency and volumes. It offers potential economic and environmental benefits but will require a consensus among federal, state, and local organizations with responsibilities for constructing, operating, maintaining, marking, and using navigable waterways.

AB - NTO (3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one) is one of the new explosive compounds used in insensitive munitions (IM) developed to replace traditional explosives, TNT and RDX. Data on NTO fate and transport is needed to determine its environmental behavior and potential for groundwater contamination. We conducted a series of kinetic and equilibrium batch experiments to characterize the fate of NTO in soils and the effect of soil geochemical properties on NTO-soil interactions. A set of experiments was also conducted using sterilized soils to evaluate the contribution of biodegradation to NTO attenuation. Measured pH values for NTO solutions decreased from 5.98 ± 0.13 to 3.50 ± 0.06 with increase in NTO concentration from 0.78 to 100 mg L −1 . Conversely, the pH of soil suspensions was not significantly affected by NTO in this concentration range. NTO experienced minimal adsorption, with measured adsorption coefficients being less than 1 cm 3 g −1 for all studied soils. There was a highly significant inverse relationship between the measured NTO adsorption coefficients and soil pH (P = 0.00011), indicating the role of NTO and soil charge in adsorption processes. In kinetic experiments, 1st order transformation rate constant estimates ranged between 0.0004 h −1 and 0.0142 h −1 (equivalent to half-lives of 72 and 2 d, respectively), and correlated positively with organic carbon in the soil. Total attenuation of NTO was higher in untreated versus sterilized samples, suggesting that NTO was being biodegraded. The information presented herein can be used to help evaluate NTO potential for natural attenuation in soils. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this study we explored the potential for capturing the behavioral dynamics observed in real-world tasks from concurrent measures of EEG. In doing so, we sought to develop models of behavior that would enable the identification of common cross-participant and cross-task EEG features. To accomplish this we had participants perform both simulated driving and guard duty tasks while we recorded their EEG. For each participant we developed models to estimate their behavioral performance during both tasks. Sequential forward floating selection was used to identify the montage of independent components for each model. Linear regression was then used on the combined power spectra from these independent components to generate a continuous estimate of behavior. Our results show that oscillatory processes, evidenced in EEG, can be used to successfully capture slow fluctuations in behavior in complex, multi-faceted tasks. The average correlation coefficients between the actual and estimated behavior was 0.548 ± 0.117 and 0.701 ± 0.154 for the driving and guard duty tasks respectively. Interestingly, through a simple clustering approach we were able to identify a number of common components, both neural and eye-movement related, across participants and tasks. We used these component clusters to quantify the relative influence of common versus participant-specific features in the models of behavior. These findings illustrate the potential for estimating complex behavioral dynamics from concurrent measures from EEG using a finite library of universal features. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper introduces the "hybrid foraging" paradigm. In typical visual search tasks, observers search for one instance of one target among distractors. In hybrid search, observers search through visual displays for one instance of any of several types of target held in memory. In foraging search, observers collect multiple instances of a single target type from visual displays. Combining these paradigms, in hybrid foraging tasks observers search visual displays for multiple instances of any of several types of target (as might be the case in searching the kitchen for dinner ingredients or an X-ray for different pathologies). In the present experiment, observers held 8-64 target objects in memory. They viewed displays of 60-105 randomly moving photographs of objects and used the computer mouse to collect multiple targets before choosing to move to the next display. Rather than selecting at random among available targets, observers tended to collect items in runs of one target type. Reaction time (RT) data indicate searching again for the same item is more efficient than searching for any other targets, held in memory. Observers were trying to maximize collection rate. As a result, and consistent with optimal foraging theory, they tended to leave 25-33% of targets uncollected when moving to the next screen/patch. The pattern of RTs shows that while observers were collecting a target item, they had already begun searching memory and the visual display for additional targets, making the hybrid foraging task a useful way to investigate the interaction of visual and memory search.

AB - Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching has distinct advantages over reactive ion etching in that the etching rates are considerably higher, the uniformity is much better, and the sidewalls of the etched material are highly anisotropic due to the higher plasma density and lower operating pressure. Therefore, ICP etching is a promising process for pattern transfer required during microelectronic and optoelectronic fabrication. Resonator--quantum well infrared photodetectors (R-QWIPs) are the next generation of QWIP detectors that use resonances to increase the quantum efficiency (QE). To fabricate R-QWIP focal plane arrays (FPAs), two optimized ICP etching processes are developed. Using these etching techniques, we have fabricated R-QWIP FPAs of several different formats and pixel sizes with the required dimensions and completely removed the substrates of the FPAs. Their QE spectra were tested to be 30 to 40%. The operability and spectral nonuniformity of the FPA is ~99.5 and 3%, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Recently, polymer--metal--organic frameworks (polyMOFs) were reported as a new class of hybrid porous materials that combine advantages of both organic polymers and crystalline MOFs. Herein, we report a bridging coligand strategy to prepare new types of polyMOFs, demonstrating that polyMOFs are compatible with additional MOF architectures besides that of the earlier reported IRMOF-1 type polyMOF. Gas sorption studies revealed that these polyMOF materials exhibited relatively high CO2 sorption but very low N2 sorption, making them promising materials for CO2/N2 separations. Moreover, these polyMOFs demonstrated exceptional water stability attributed to the hydrophobicity of polymer ligands as well as the cross-linking of the polymer chains within the MOF.

AB - In this work, experiments were conducted to quantify structure-property relations of low-cycle fatigue behavior of dissimilar friction stir welding (FSW) of AA6061-to-AA7050 high strength aluminum alloys. In addition, a microstructure-sensitive fatigue model is employed to further elucidate cause-effect relationships. Experimental strain-controlled fatigue testing revealed an increase in the cyclic strain hardening and the number-of cycles to failure as the tool rotational speed was increased. At higher applied strain amplitudes (>0.3%), the corresponding stress amplitude increased and the plastic strain amplitude decreased, as the number of cycles increased. However, at 0.2% strain amplitude, the plastic strain decreased until it was almost negligible. Inspection of the hysteresis loops demonstrated that at low strain amplitudes, there was an initial stage of strain hardening that increased until it reached a maximum strain hardening level, afterwards a nearly perfect elastic behavior was observed. Under fully-reversed fatigue loading, all samples failed at the region between the heat-affected and thermomechanically-affected zones. Inspection of the fractured surfaces under scanning electron microscopy revealed that the cracks initiated at either the crown or the root surface of the weld, and from secondary intermetallic particles located near the free surface of the weld. Lastly, a microstructure-sensitive multistage fatigue model was employed to correlate the fatigue life of the dissimilar FSW of AA6061-to-AA7050 considering microstructural features such as grain size, intermetallic particles and mechanical properties.

AB - In this study, the fatigue behavior of a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is investigated. A series of tests at ambient temperature, including uniaxial monotonic (tension and compression) at different strain rates and uniaxial fully-reversed strain-controlled cyclic tests at strain amplitudes ranging from 0.02 mm/mm to 0.04 mm/mm at various frequencies, were conducted. The frequency influence on the strain-controlled fatigue lives of unfilled PEEK specimens was found to be highly dependent on the strain level. A minimal frequency effect was observed at a lower strain amplitude of 0.02 mm/mm, whereas increasing the test frequency at higher strain amplitudes resulted in longer fatigue lives. Additionally, load-controlled cyclic tests that utilized applied loads corresponding to stress responses obtained from the strain-controlled fatigue tests were performed. The cyclic behavior under the two control modes were compared and discussed. Three types of fatigue models, including a strain-based (Coffin–Manson) model, a strain–stress-based (Smith–Watson–Topper) model, and an energy-based model, were employed to correlate the data in this study. Among the three fatigue models, the energy approach was found to better correlate the PEEK experimental data at various frequencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Rift Valley fever (RVF) poses a risk as a potential agent in bioterrorism or agroterrorism. A live attenuated RVF vaccine (RVF MP-12) has been shown to be safe and protective in animals and showed promise in two initial clinical trials. In the present study, healthy adult human volunteers ( N = 56) received a single injection of (a) RVF MP-12, administered subcutaneously (SQ) at a concentration of 10 4.7 plaque-forming units (pfu) (SQ Group); (b) RVF MP-12, administered intramuscularly (IM) at 10 3.4 pfu (IM Group 1); (c) RVF MP-12, administered IM at 10 4.4 pfu (IM Group 2); or (d) saline (Placebo Group). The vaccine was well tolerated by volunteers in all dose and route groups. Infrequent and minor adverse events were seen among recipients of both placebo and RVF MP-12. One subject had viremia detectable by direct plaque assay, and six subjects from IM Group 2 had transient low-titer viremia detectable only by nucleic acid amplification. Of the 43 vaccine recipients, 40 (93%) achieved neutralizing antibodies (measured as an 80% plaque reduction neutralization titer [PRNT 80 ]) as well as RVF-specific IgM and IgG. The highest peak geometric mean PRNT 80 titers were observed in IM Group 2. Of 34 RVF MP-12 recipients available for testing 1 year following inoculation, 28 (82%) remained seropositive (PRNT 80 ≥ 1:20); this included 20 of 23 vaccinees (87%) from IM Group 2. The live attenuated RVF MP-12 vaccine was safe and immunogenic at the doses and routes studied. Given the need for an effective vaccine against RVF virus, further evaluation in humans is warranted.

AB - An outbreak or deliberate release of Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus could have serious public health and socioeconomic consequences. A safe RVF vaccine capable of eliciting long-lasting immunity after a single injection is urgently needed. The live attenuated RVF MP-12 vaccine candidate has shown promise in Phase 1 clinical trials; no evidence of reversion to virulence has been identified in numerous animal studies. The objective of this Phase 2 clinical trial was to (a) further examine the safety and immunogenicity of RVF MP-12 in RVF virus–naïve humans and (b) characterize isolates of RVF MP-12 virus recovered from the blood of vaccinated subjects to evaluate the genetic stability of MP-12 attenuation. We found that RVF MP-12 was well tolerated, causing mostly mild reactions that resolved without sequelae. Of 19 subjects, 18 (95%) and 19 (100%) achieved, respectively, 80% and 50% plaque reduction neutralization titers (PRNT 80 and PRNT 50 ) ≥ 1:20 by postvaccination day 28. All 18 PRNT 80 responders maintained PRNT 80 and PRNT 50 ≥ 1:40 until at least postvaccination month 12. Viremia was undetectable in the plasma of any subject by direct plaque assay techniques. However, 5 of 19 vaccinees were positive for MP-12 isolates in plasma by blind passage of plasma on Vero cells. Vaccine virus was also recovered from buffy coat material from one of those vaccinees and from one additional vaccinee. Through RNA sequencing of MP-12 isolates, we found no reversions of amino acids to those of the parent virulent virus (strain ZH548). Five years after a single dose of RVF MP-12 vaccine, 8 of 9 vaccinees (89%) maintained a PRNT 80 ≥ 1:20. These findings support the continued development of RVF MP-12 as a countermeasure against RVF virus in humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We report the novel one-pot synthesis of high aspect ratio titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanorods using a simple hydrothermal technique. Specifically, oxalic acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were used as additives to promote the conversion of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) into a one-dimensional TiO 2 morphology. All resultant products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Influential factors on the growth mechanisms of TiO 2 nanorods are discussed. This approach contrasts the typical approach of using spherical TiO 2 as a starting material in the fabrication of one-dimensional TiO 2 structures, and instead allows for the direct synthesis of TiO 2 nanorods from TTIP precursors.

AB - Head computed tomography (CT) imaging is still a commonly obtained diagnostic test for patients with minor head injury despite availability of clinical decision rules to guide imaging use and recommendations to reduce radiation exposure resulting from unnecessary imaging. This prospective multicenter observational study of 251 patients with suspected mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) evaluated three serum biomarkers' (glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP], ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 [UCH-L1] and S100B measured within 6 h of injury) ability to differentiate CT negative and CT positive findings. Of the 251 patients, 60.2% were male and 225 (89.6%) had a presenting Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15. A positive head CT (intracranial injury) was found in 36 (14.3%). UCH-L1 was 100% sensitive and 39% specific at a cutoff value >40 pg/mL. To retain 100% sensitivity, GFAP was 0% specific (cutoff value 0 pg/mL) and S100B had a specificity of only 2% (cutoff value 30 pg/mL). All three biomarkers had similar values for areas under the receiver operator characteristic curve: 0.79 (95% confidence interval; 0.70-0.88) for GFAP, 0.80 (0.71-0.89) for UCH-L1, and 0.75 (0.65-0.85) for S100B. Neither GFAP nor UCH-L1 curve values differed significantly from S100B ( p = 0.21 and p = 0.77, respectively). In our patient cohort, UCH-L1 outperformed GFAP and S100B when the goal was to reduce CT use without sacrificing sensitivity. UCH-L1 values <40 pg/mL could potentially have aided in eliminating 83 of the 215 negative CT scans. These results require replication in other studies before the test is used in actual clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The mechanics of peptide–protein docking has long been an area of intense interest to the computational community. Here we discuss an improved docking protocol named XPairIt which uses a multitier approach, combining thePyRosettadocking software with theNAMDmolecular dynamics package through a biomolecular simulation programming interface written in Python. This protocol is designed for systems where noa prioriinformation of ligand structure (beyond sequence) or binding location is known. It provides for efficient incorporation of both ligand and target flexibility, is HPC-ready and is easily extensible for use of custom code. We apply this protocol to a set of 11 test cases drawn from benchmarking databases and from previously published studies for direct comparison with existing protocols. Strengths, weaknesses and areas of improvement are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Adsorption is an effective means to selectively remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial gas streams and is particularly of use for gas streams that exhibit highly variable daily concentrations of VOCs. Adsorption of such gas streams by activated carbon fiber cloths (ACFCs) and subsequent controlled desorption can provide gas streams of well-defined concentration that can then be more efficiently treated by biofiltration than streams exhibiting large variability in concentration. In this study, we passed VOC-containing gas through an ACFC vessel for adsorption and then desorption in a concentration-controlled manner via electrothermal heating. Set-point concentrations (40–900 ppm v ) and superficial gas velocity (6.3–9.9 m/s) were controlled by a data acquisition and control system. The results of the average VOC desorption, desorption factor and VOC in-and-out ratio were calculated and compared for various gas set-point concentrations and superficial gas velocities. Our results reveal that desorption is strongly dependent on the set-point concentration and that the VOC desorption rate can be successfully equalized and controlled via an electrothermal adsorption system.

AB - Plastic deformation induced by stress concentrations near crystal defects occurs through the generation of prismatic dislocation loops (PDL). The production of PDLs leads to void growth and particle decoherence. In this work we use dislocation dynamics simulations to characterize two mechanisms for PDL formation. The first mechanism corresponds to a classical model of PDL generation from dislocation nucleation. The second mechanism considers PDL generation through cross-slip of a screw dislocation intersecting the particle. We systematically study the effect of the crystal lattice and defect type on PDL generation for both mechanisms as a function of pressure. The simulations show image stresses produced by the dislocation's interaction with the free surface of a void suppresses PDL generation. The highest PDL generation rates are found for a dislocation nucleated from a void in a body-centered cubic lattice. Our simulations also show helical coiling of screw dislocations produces a continuous emission of PDLs without the need for dislocation nucleation at pressures as low as 1.0 GPa.

AB - Palytoxin (PLTX) is a complex marine toxin produced by zoanthids (i.e. Palythoa ), dinoflagellates ( Ostreopsis ) and cyanobacteria ( Trichodesmium ). PLTX outbreaks are usually associated with Indo-Pacific waters, however their recent repeated occurrence in Mediterranean–European Atlantic coasts demonstrate their current worldwide distribution. Human sickness and fatalities have been associated with toxic algal blooms and ingestion of seafood contaminated with PLTX-like molecules. These toxins represent a serious threat to human health. There is an immediate need to develop easy-to-use, rapid detection methods due to the lack of validated protocols for their detection and quantification. We have developed an immuno-detection method for PLTX-like molecules based on the use of microspheres coupled to flow-cytometry detection (Luminex 200™). The assay consisted of the competition between free PLTX-like compounds in solution and PLTX immobilized on the surface of microspheres for binding to a specific monoclonal anti-PLTX antibody. This method displays an IC 50 of 1.83 ± 0.21 nM and a dynamic range of 0.47–6.54 nM for PLTX. An easy-to-perform extraction protocol, based on a mixture of methanol and acetate buffer, was applied to spiked mussel samples providing a recovery rate of 104 ± 8% and a range of detection from 374 ± 81 to 4430 ± 150 μg kg −1 when assayed with this method. Extracts of Ostreopsis cf. siamensis and Palythoa tuberculosa were tested and yielded positive results for PLTX-like molecules. However, the data obtained for the coral sample suggested that this antibody did not detect 42-OH-PLTX efficiently. The same samples were further analyzed using a neuroblastoma cytotoxicity assay and UPLC-IT-TOF spectrometry, which also pointed to the presence of PLTX-like compounds. Therefore, this single detection method for PLTX provides a semi-quantitative tool useful for the screening of PLTX-like molecules in different matrixes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Emerging technologies present significant challenges to researchers, decision-makers, industry professionals, and other stakeholder groups due to the lack of quantitative risk, benefit, and cost data associated with their use. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) can support early decisions for emerging technologies when data is too sparse or uncertain for traditional risk assessment. It does this by integrating expert judgment with available quantitative and qualitative inputs across multiple criteria to provide relative technology scores. Here, an MCDA framework provides preliminary insights on the suitability of emerging technologies for environmental remediation by comparing nanotechnology and synthetic biology to conventional remediation methods. Subject matter experts provided judgments regarding the importance of criteria used in the evaluations and scored the technologies with respect to those criteria. The results indicate that synthetic biology may be preferred over nanotechnology and conventional methods for high expected benefits and low deployment costs but that conventional technology may be preferred over emerging technologies for reduced risks and development costs. In the absence of field data regarding the risks, benefits, and costs of emerging technologies, structuring evidence-based expert judgment through a weighted hierarchy of topical questions may be helpful to inform preliminary risk governance and guide emerging technology development and policy.

AB - Calcium silicate hydrate Jennite is a molecular structure commonly accepted as a representation of the complex calcium silicate hydrate gel formed during the hydration of typical Portland cement. In this paper, the behavior of nanoscale calcium silicate hydrate Jennite under shear deformation was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. Computational samples representing the nanoscale structure of calcium silicate hydrate Jennite were subjected to shear deformation in order to investigate not only their mechanical properties but also their deformation behavior. The simulation results indicated that the nanoscale calcium silicate hydrate Jennite under shear deformation displays a linear elastic behavior up to shear stress of approximately 1.0 GPa, and shear deformation of about 0.08 radians, after which point yielding and plastic deformation occurs. The shear modulus determined from the simulations was 11.2 ± 0.7 GPa. The deformation-induced displacements in molecular structures were analyzed dividing the system in regions representing calcium oxide layers. The displacement/deformation of the layers of calcium oxide forming the structure of nanoscale calcium silicate hydrate Jennite was analyzed. The non-linear stress–strain behavior in the molecular structure was attributed to a non-linear increase in the displacement due to sliding of the calcium oxide layers on top of each other with higher shearing. These results support the idea that by controlling the chemical reactions, the tailored morphologies can be used to increase the interlinking between the calcium oxide layers, thus minimizing the shearing of the layers and leading to molecular structures that can withstand larger deformation and have improved failure behavior.

AB - Phytonutrients have rapidly emerged as natural food chemicals possessing multifaceted biological actions that may support beneficial health outcomes. Among the vast array of phytonutrients currently being studied, sulforaphane, curcumin, quercetin, and resveratrol have been frequently reported to stimulate the expression of endogenous detoxification enzymes and may thereby facilitate the neutralization of otherwise harmful environmental agents. Some of these same phytonutrients, however, have also been implicated in disrupting normal cell proliferation and hence may possess toxic properties in and of themselves. In this study, we characterize the respective minimum threshold concentrations of the aforementioned phytonutrients in Hepa1c1c7 cells that stimulate NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), a key enzyme in the hepatic neutralization of menadione, other biological oxidants, and some environmental carcinogens. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that relatively low concentrations of either sulforaphane or curcumin significantly ( P < .05) increase NQO1 protein expression and activity without triggering G2/M cell cycle arrest or mitotic catastrophe. The minimal quercetin concentration inducing NQO1, however, was 100-fold higher than that which disrupted mitosis. Also, while resveratrol modestly stimulated NQO1, the minimally effective resveratrol concentration concomitantly induced evidence of cellular apoptosis. Taken together, these findings indicate that only particular phytonutrients are likely efficacious in upregulating NQO1 activity without also leading to hepatic cytotoxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper describes the development and application of a reservoir management decision support system for evaluating floodplain benefits and socioeconomic trade-offs of reservoir management alternatives in the Connecticut River watershed. The decision support system is composed of a reservoir system simulation model, an ecological model, and two river hydraulics models. The reservoir model simulated current operations at 73 reservoirs and flows at locations of interest in the Connecticut River watershed. Regulated flows from the reservoir model were compared with unregulated flows, both statistically and spatially, for a suite of environmental flow metrics based on inundation patterns related to floodplain vegetation communities. Analyses demonstrate use of the decision support system and show how its use illuminates (1) trends in existing hydrologic alteration for the Connecticut River mainstem and one of its tributaries, the Farmington River, and (2) management scenarios that might have ecological benefits for floodplain plant communities. The decision support system was used to test two management scenarios to assess potential floodplain benefits and associated trade-offs in hydropower generation and flood risk. The process described shows the usefulness of large-scale reservoir management decision support systems that incorporate environmental considerations in assisting with watershed planning and environmental flow implementation.

AB - Fifteen military personnel performed 30-cm drop landings to quantify how body borne load (light, ∼6 kg, medium, ∼20 kg, and heavy, ∼40 kg) impacts lower limb kinematics and knee joint energy absorption during landing, and determine whether greater lower limb flexion increases energy absorption while landing with load. Participants decreased peak hip (P = 0.002), and knee flexion (P = 0.007) posture, but did not increase hip (P = 0.796), knee (P = 0.427) or ankle (P = 0.161) energy absorption, despite exhibiting greater peak hip (P = 0.003) and knee (P = 0.001) flexion, and ankle (P = 0.003) dorsiflexion angular impulse when landing with additional load. Yet, when landing with the light and medium loads, greater hip (R(2) = 0.500, P = 0.003 and R(2) = 0.314, P = 0.030) and knee (R(2) = 0.431, P = 0.008 and R(2) = 0.342, P = 0.022) flexion posture predicted larger knee joint energy absorption. Thus, military training that promotes hip and knee flexion, and subsequently greater energy absorption during landing, may potentially reduce risk of musculoskeletal injury and optimize soldier performance.

AB - This paper presents a novel method for joining cast ZE41A-T5 Mg to wrought 6061-T6 Al, without forming deleterious, coarse intermetallic compounds, which is not currently possible with conventional technologies. The novel aspect of the process includes the development of a joint design using cold spray (CS) as the enabling technology, to produce a transitional layer onto which a conventional welding technique can be employed to join the two dissimilar materials. The emphasis in this study will be on the CS transitional layer (T-layer) which enables the joining of cast ZE41A-T5 magnesium (Mg) and wrought 6061-T6 aluminum (Al) by friction-stir welding and the subsequent materials characterization to show the structural integrity of the entire joint. In order to join Mg and Al plates by this method, a transitional layer of CS Al is first deposited along the edge of cast ZE41A Mg plate. The CS Al T-layer enables the Mg to be friction stir welded to a plate of wrought 6061 Al, thereby completing the Mg plate to Al plate joint. Friction stir welding was chosen in this study to join the CS Al T-layer to the wrought Al plate; however, other conventional welding techniques could also be employed for joining Mg to Al in this manner. The CS Al T-layer is compatible to the wrought 6061 Al plate and serves as an insulating layer that prevents heat generated during the friction stir welding process from extending into the magnesium, thus preventing the formation of intermetallics. In this study, two sets of samples were produced joining cast ZE41A-T5 magnesium (Mg) and wrought 6061-T6 aluminum: one set using CS 6061 Al as the transition material between the ZE41A Mg plate and 6061 Al plate and the other set using CS 5056 Al as the transition material. Microstructural analysis by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and optical microscopy, along with mechanical test results including triple lug shear, tension, and micro hardness will be presented. Comparisons will be made to conventional joining techniques and the importance, as well as the applications of this technique, will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) is the most important topic in current contract law and commentary. The Supreme Court has issued eight merits decisions construing the FAA since 2011, the lower state and federal courts issued more than 1,000 decisions considering the FAA in 2014, and there were 81 fulllength articles, notes, and comments on arbitration in the same year. Recently, three commentators, Professor Margaret Jane Radin of the University of Michigan Law School, Professor Nancy S. Kim of the California Western School of Law, and former Lecturer in Law James P. Dawson of the Yale Law School, have proposed the use of an expanded economic duress defense to help consumers combat unfair pre-dispute arbitration agreements. This Article summarizes each commentator's position and identifies my concerns. While such arbitration clauses can sometimes be unfair, all three proposals are flawed on numerous grounds. The primary problem is that the authors' revised duress doctrines draw unworkable distinctions between improper coercion of offerees and legitimate bargaining techniques in a free market society. My analysis is the first in the legal literature that comprehensively discusses the connection between the economic duress defense generally and FAA arbitration specifically. As I will demonstrate, the two subject areas emphasize freedom of contract as they promote the necessary certainty and predictability of contractual relations. Thus, they accomplish the proper balance between binding the buyer to the arbitral process he agreed to in the contract and prohibiting the seller from enforcing a bargain if he procured it through unduly coercive tactics.

AB - The interpretation of complex DNA profiles is facilitated by a Bayesian approach. This approach requires the development of a pair of propositions: one aligned to the prosecution case and one to the defense case. This note explores the issue of proposition setting in an adversarial environment by a series of examples. A set of guidelines generalize how to formulate propositions when there is a single person of interest and when there are multiple individuals of interest. Additional explanations cover how to handle multiple defense propositions, relatives, and the transition from subsource level to activity level propositions. The propositions depend on case information and the allegations of each of the parties. The prosecution proposition is usually known. The authors suggest that a sensible proposition is selected for the defense that is consistent with their stance, if available, and consistent with a realistic defense if their position is not known.

AB - 3D carbon nanotube (CNT)-based macrostructures are the subject of extensive attention because the outstanding properties of 1D and 2D nanostructures have not been fully translated into key engineering applications. Generation of 3D CNT architectures with covalent junctions could endow the new materials with extraordinary mechanical properties. In this study, detailed experimental characterization and statistical comparison are carried out on 3D boron-doped multiwalled CNT (CBxMWNT) sponges with covalent junctions and undoped multiwalled CNT (undoped-MWNT) sponges without junctions. By investigating the plastic, elastic, viscoelastic, and dynamic viscoelastic properties of both sponges, as well as the dependency of these mechanical properties on material morphology, the CBxMWNT sponge is found to be a more predictable and stable material than the undoped-MWNT sponge. Statistical comparison proves that the excellent properties of the CBxMWNT are attributed to its 'elbow-like' junctions inside the 3D networks, which prevent permanent buckling and bundling of the CNTs under extreme loading. Thus, by optimizing the covalent junctions in 3D CNT sponges, their functional behavior can be controlled and regulated. These findings may promote applications of 3D CNT sponges in various fields, including biomedical or high-precision devices in which lightweight, controllable, and reliable mechanical properties are always desirable.

AB - The development of realistic nuclear melt glass surrogates is important to the nuclear forensics community in order to establish analytical protocols for post-detonation analysis. In addition to creating surrogates that are accurate with regard to physical morphology and chemical composition, it is important to develop surrogates that also have similar radiological characteristics. A synthetic melt glass sample was irradiated at the High-Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This sample was counted twice using a semiconductor radiation detector to capture both fission-product signatures as well as those from neutron activation. A qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed to make recommendations for the next irradiation campaign. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Coupled computational fluid dynamics/computational structural dynamics (RCAS/HELIOS and CAMRAD II/HELIOS) analyses are performed, and the calculated rotor structural loads are compared with the flight-test data obtained from the NASA/Army UH-60A Airloads Program. Three challenging level-flight conditions are investigated: 1) high speed with advancing blade negative lift, 2) low speed with blade/wake interaction, and 3) high thrust with dynamic stall. The predicted flap bending and torsion moments, pitch link, and lag damper loads, in general, show reasonably good correlation with the test data. A nonlinear lag damper model is essential for the accurate prediction of root chord bending moment and lag damper load. Both analyses, however, significantly underpredict the chord bending moments, especially the 4/rev4/rev harmonic amplitude. Parametric study shows that blade stiffness variations have only a small influence on the load calculations. However, modal damping in the first flap mode has a significant influence on the flap bending moments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The effect of climate variability on flatfish includes not only the effects of warming on sensitive life history stages, but also impacts from more frequent or unseasonal extreme cold temperatures. Cold weather events can affect the overwintering capabilities of flatfish near their low temperature range limits. We examined the responses of two flatfish species, the thin-bodied windowpane ( Scophthalmus aquosus ) and cold-tolerant winter flounder ( Pseudopleuronectes americanus ), to variable winter temperatures in a Northwest Atlantic estuary using abundance and size data collected during a monitoring study, the Aquatic Biological Survey, conducted from 2002 to 2010. Winter and spring abundances of small (50 to 120 mm total length) juvenile windowpane were positively correlated with adult densities (spawning stock) and fall temperatures (thermal conditions experienced during post-settlement development for the fall-spawned cohort) of the previous year. Windowpane abundances in the estuary were significantly reduced and the smallest size class was nearly absent after several consecutive years with cold (minimum temperatures < 1 °C) winters. Interannual variation in winter flounder abundances was unrelated to the severity of winter temperatures. A Paulik diagram illustrates strong positive correlations between annual abundances of sequential winter flounder life history stages (egg, larval, Age-1 juvenile, and adult male) within the estuary, reflecting residency within the estuary through their first year of life. Temperature variables representing conditions during winter flounder larval and post-settlement development were not significant factors in multiple regression models exploring factors that affect juvenile abundances. Likewise, densities of predators known to consume winter flounder eggs and/or post-settlement juveniles were not significantly related to interannual variation in winter flounder juvenile abundances. Colder estuarine temperatures through the first year of life were associated with smaller Age-1 winter flounder body size. For example, Age-1 winter flounder developing under conditions that differed by 1.9 °C in mean daily water temperature, averaged 98.7 mm total length (TL) and 123.1 mm TL, for the relatively cold vs. moderate years, respectively. More frequent cold temperature extremes associated with climate variability may negatively impact the overwintering capabilities of some flatfish near their cold temperature range limits, whereas cold-tolerant species may experience reduced growth, which imparts the ecological challenges associated with smaller body size.

AB - Marl prairie, a diverse graminoid-dominated freshwater vegetation community in the Florida Everglades, provides a specialized niche for the federally endangered Cape Sable seaside sparrow (CSSS). This paper describes a regional habitat suitability modeling approach to evaluating how changes in management from Everglades restoration may affect the CSSS. The Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow Marl Prairie Indicator ( CSSSMarlPrairie ) is a spatially explicit model that integrates frequency (return periods) of target hydrologic conditions to simulate the anticipated response of marl prairie CSSS habitats to fluxing hydropatterns resulting from restoration projects, water management operations, and climatic change. The model integrates CSSS field survey data with the hydrologic targets at the resolution of the hydrologic simulation model (in this case, the Regional Simulation Model). The application of return periods for hydrologic events provides a novel approach for simulation of anticipated marl prairie responses in the southern Everglades and is readily applicable to evaluating targets of modeled wetland restoration scenarios elsewhere. CSSSMarlPrairie is intended to be used for decision support, in association with a suite of ecological models for additional species of management concern, to facilitate planning of ecosystem restoration projects such as those in the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan and recovery of the marl prairie habitats of the CSSS. A tentatively selected restoration plan for the central Everglades is projected to have mostly minor overall impacts to marl prairie CSSS habitats. Local substantial habitat shifts in and adjacent to designated habitat boundaries have been identified, however, that warrant management consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A robust estimator for uncertain stochastic systems under unknown persistent disturbance is presented. The given discrete-time stochastic formulation neither requires a known bound on the magnitude of the unknown excitation nor assumes stability of the system. However, the proposed estimator assumes certain structural conditions on system uncertainties. Though the proposed estimator is developed based on stochastic Lyapunov analysis, its structure and performance are comparable to that of unbiased minimum-variance filters based on the disturbance decoupling technique. Unlike unbiased minimum-variance filters, implementation of the developed estimator only requires adding an auxiliary term to the nominal steady-state Kalman filter, and it does not involve any similarity transformation or propagation of matrix difference equations.

AB - Filoviruses cause highly lethal viral hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman primates. Current immunotherapeutic options for filoviruses are mostly specific to Ebola virus (EBOV), although other members of Filoviridae such as Sudan virus (SUDV), Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), and Marburg virus (MARV) have also caused sizeable human outbreaks. Here we report a set of pan-ebolavirus and pan-filovirus monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) derived from cynomolgus macaques immunized repeatedly with a mixture of engineered glycoproteins (GPs) and virus-like particles (VLPs) for three different filovirus species. The antibodies recognize novel neutralizing and nonneutralizing epitopes on the filovirus glycoprotein, including conserved conformational epitopes within the core regions of the GP1 subunit and a novel linear epitope within the glycan cap. We further report the first filovirus antibody binding to a highly conserved epitope within the fusion loop of ebolavirus and marburgvirus species. One of the antibodies binding to the core GP1 region of all ebolavirus species and with lower affinity to MARV GP cross neutralized both SUDV and EBOV, the most divergent ebolavirus species. In a mouse model of EBOV infection, this antibody provided 100% protection when administered in two doses and partial, but significant, protection when given once at the peak of viremia 3 days postinfection. Furthermore, we describe novel cocktails of antibodies with enhanced protective efficacy compared to individual MAbs. In summary, the present work describes multiple novel, cross-reactive filovirus epitopes and innovative combination concepts that challenge the current therapeutic models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The unprecedented 2014-2015 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa has highlighted the need for effective therapeutics against filoviruses. Monoclonal antibody (MAb) cocktails have shown great potential as EVD therapeutics; however, the existing protective MAbs are virus species specific. Here we report the development of pan-ebolavirus and pan-filovirus antibodies generated by repeated immunization of mice with filovirus glycoproteins engineered to drive the B cell responses toward conserved epitopes. Multiple pan-ebolavirus antibodies were identified that react to the Ebola, Sudan, Bundibugyo, and Reston viruses. A pan-filovirus antibody that was reactive to the receptor binding regions of all filovirus glycoproteins was also identified. Significant postexposure efficacy of several MAbs, including a novel antibody cocktail, was demonstrated. For the first time, we report cross-neutralization and in vivo protection against two highly divergent filovirus species, i.e., Ebola virus and Sudan virus, with a single antibody. Competition studies indicate that this antibody targets a previously unrecognized conserved neutralizing epitope that involves the glycan cap. Mechanistic studies indicated that, besides neutralization, innate immune cell effector functions may play a role in the antiviral activity of the antibodies. Our findings further suggest critical novel epitopes that can be utilized to design effective cocktails for broad protection against multiple filovirus species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Compared with randomized trials, community-based interventions are delivered by a wider variety of professionals with varied training backgrounds. When evidence-based programs are scaled into larger formats and disseminated to a wider audience, little is understood about how clients experience these interventions. To understand the experience of clients after meetings with nutrition, exercise, and health behavior professionals, researchers surveyed participants after 6 months in a weight management program. A total of 958 participants were recruited in monthly cohorts beginning September 2011 to complete a program evaluation survey. Qualitative inductive analysis was completed on several open-text items querying respondents as to what they found helpful from meetings with a registered dietitian, personal trainer, and health behavior counselor. Results indicate participants benefitted from gaining knowledge, learning new behavioral skills, or from interpersonal interactions. Findings suggest that the various professional services are valued by clients and that professionals appear to stay within their scope of practice. Implications for those working in weight management are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background In addition to experiencing traumatic events while deployed in a combat environment, there are other factors that contribute to the development of posttraumatic stress disorder ( PTSD) in military service members. This study explored the contribution of genetics, childhood environment, prior trauma, psychological, cognitive, and deployment factors to the development of traumatic stress following deployment. Methods Both pre- and postdeployment data on 231 of 458 soldiers were analyzed. Postdeployment assessments occurred within 30 days from returning stateside and included a battery of psychological health, medical history, and demographic questionnaires; neurocognitive tests; and blood serum for the D2 dopamine receptor ( DRD2), apolipoprotein E ( APOE), and brain-derived neurotropic factor ( BDNF) genes. Results Soldiers who screened positive for traumatic stress at postdeployment had significantly higher scores in depression ( d = 1.91), anxiety ( d = 1.61), poor sleep quality ( d = 0.92), postconcussion symptoms ( d = 2.21), alcohol use ( d = 0.63), traumatic life events ( d = 0.42), and combat exposure ( d = 0.91). BDNF Val66 Met genotype was significantly associated with risk for sustaining a mild traumatic brain injury ( mTBI) and screening positive for traumatic stress. Predeployment traumatic stress, greater combat exposure and sustaining an mTBI while deployed, and the BDNF Met/Met genotype accounted for 22% of the variance of postdeployment PTSD scores ( R 2 = 0.22, P < 0.001). However, predeployment traumatic stress, alone, accounted for 17% of the postdeployment PTSD scores. Conclusion These findings suggest predeployment traumatic stress, genetic, and environmental factors have unique contributions to the development of combat-related traumatic stress in military service members.

AB - Navigating large-scale environments involves dynamic interactions between the physical world and individuals’ knowledge, goals, and strategies. Time pressure can result from self-imposed goals or relatively dynamic situational factors that induce varied constraints. While time pressure is ubiquitous in daily life and has been shown to influence affective states, cost-benefit analyses, and strategy selection, its influence on navigation behaviour is unknown. The present study examined how introducing varied time constraints during virtual urban navigation would influence spatial strategies and impact the efficiency and effectiveness of goal-directed wayfinding. Participants learned a large-scale urban virtual environment by wayfinding between a series of 20 successive landmark goals (e.g.,You have reached the Theater. Now find the Bank.). A day later, they again performed the same task, but landmark-to-landmark trials were characterized by conditions of low-, moderate-, or high-pressure time limits as quantified by a pilot experiment. As time pressure increased, participants more likely navigated along previously experienced paths and less likely travelled in the global direction of the destination. Results suggest strategy shifts under time constraints that increase reliance on egocentric, route-based strategies and decrease reliance on global configural knowledge, probably in an attempt to reduce cognitive demands and support performance under pressure.

AB - In this study, the energies to indent and scratch Kevlar 49 and Kevlar KM2 single fiber surfaces are investigated along with the associated deformation mechanisms of the fiber fibrillar network. For both indentation and scratching, values of energy are determined from the measured forces and displacements under a number of different contact conditions, which include variations in probe size, indentation/scratch depth, and scratch length. These values are correlated to the observed fibrillar deformation mechanisms. The total indentation energy is primarily recoverable for indentations made at low depths and/or by probes that impart low levels of effective strain. Indentations made to greater depths by probes imparting greater effective strains result in additional forms of deformation, which correlate with an increase in the percentage of the total energy that is absorbed and an increase in the total specific energy (energy per volume) of indentation. The energy of a constant depth scratch exceeds the energy of indentation for scratch lengths greater than ~1.5-3 times the indentation depth. The total specific energy of scratching decreases with the onset of microstructure failure, in the form of fibrillation, during scratching. The energies to indent and scratch Kevlar KM2 are generally lower than Kevlar 49, which is likely related to the decreased properties of the Kevlar KM2 shell and/or a difference in the local properties of the two fibers. The fibrillar deformation mechanisms critical to optimizing the specific energies of indentation and scratching, which depend on strain, are identified and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Many of the reasons offered for outsourcing security involve costs and benefits – a consequentialist way of reasoning. Thus, I will explore a consequentialist argument against the use of private security contractors (PSCs) in counterinsurgencies. Discussing the benefits and costs of employing PSCs in these kinds of operations will demonstrate that the hiring of PSCs in many cases (perhaps in most) is consequentially unsound. More precisely, the overall negative consequences of hiring PSCs during counterinsurgencies should preclude their use unless in extreme emergencies. Defenders of the use of PSCs readily point to their financial benefits and expected increase in efficiency as the starting point for their argumentation. On my account, if the benefits really do outweigh the foreseeable and expected costs, then hiring PSCs may, in that case, be a morally viable option. However, I contend that, unless we institute broad contractual control and oversight reform, unless we truly understand the costs and benefits, we should have a standing, prima facie prohibition against employing PSCs in counterinsurgencies.

AB - Background: Traditional animal toxicity tests can be time and resource intensive, thereby limiting the number of chemicals that can be comprehensively tested for potential hazards to humans and/or to the environment. Objective: We compared several types of data to demonstrate how alternative models can be used to inform both human and ecological risk assessment. Methods: We reviewed and compared data derived from high throughput in vitro assays to fish reproductive tests for seven chemicals. We investigated whether human-focused assays can be predictive of chemical hazards in the environment. We examined how conserved pathways enable the use of nonmammalian models, such as fathead minnow, zebrafish, and Xenopus laevis, to understand modes of action and to screen for chemical risks to humans. Results: We examined how dose-dependent responses of zebrafish embryos exposed to flusilazole can be extrapolated, using pathway point of departure data and reverse toxicokinetics, to obtain human oral dose hazard values that are similar to published mammalian chronic toxicity values for the chemical. We also examined how development/safety data for human health can be used to help assess potential risks of pharmaceuticals to nontarget species in the environment. Discussion: Using several examples, we demonstrate that pathway-based analysis of chemical effects provides new opportunities to use alternative models (nonmammalian species, in vitro tests) to support decision making while reducing animal use and associated costs. Conclusions: These analyses and examples demonstrate how alternative models can be used to reduce cost and animal use while being protective of both human and ecological health.

AB - A common approach to re-establishing cottonwood-willow habitat along regulated rivers is through installing dormant, rootless cuttings, yet there is little published information exploring floodplain characteristics that optimize growth of southwestern riparian willows planted in this manner. The goal of this project was to evaluate relationships between growth attributes of Salix exigua and soil texture and soil water availability. Monitoring plots were established in five willow swales planted with dormant S. exigua cuttings along the banks of the Middle Rio Grande in central New Mexico. Data analysis revealed significantly higher aerial cover, height, and stem density for S. exigua plants installed in plots with intermediate levels (15-25%) of fine textured soils distributed through the soil profile. Similar relationships were found in relation to soil water availability. Regression analysis of percent fines and available water at different depth increments provided limited explanation of variability in willow growth attributes at different plots. Findings indicate that S. exigua plants established from cuttings can achieve heights and aerial cover values similar to naturally established willow bars if the floodplain soil profile contains intermediate levels of fine textured soils and the maximum depth to groundwater is within 1.5 m of the ground surface. Where sites are dominated by coarse sand, S. exigua growth may be improved if maximum depth to groundwater is within 1 m of the ground surface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper discusses the development and testing of long carbon fibers-fibers 75 mm long or longer-to improve the resistance of reinforced concrete to dynamic loading, such as blasts and impact. In the past, attempts to use long fibers in concrete have failed as a result of both balling (agglomeration) and poor dispersion of the fibers. In the present study, two types of long carbon fibers were developed and optimized for their use in reinforced concrete. The resulting long carbon fiber-reinforced concrete (LCFRC) was subsequently evaluated through impact and blast testing. Full-scale blast testing revealed that these fibers significantly increased the resistance of concrete spalling. In terms of the amount of material lost during the blast, LCFRC panels outperformed nonfiber concrete panels by nearly a factor of 10. This significant reduction in weight loss for the LCFRC panels translates into a substantial decrease in harmful, flying debris in a blast event, and a corresponding reduction in blast lethality.

AB - Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a family of emerging materials for building and construction applications. Behavior of UHPCs at high temperature is very important to their reliability and safety. In the current study, two UHPC materials were studied using the thermomechanical analysis (TMA) technique between room temperature and 800°C. Both reversible and irreversible phase transformations were observed from the TMA results, which were likely attributable to the quartz transformation and the dehydroxylation transitions, respectively. Thermal expansion coefficients exhibited significant variations in different temperature regimes. Postmortem scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examinations revealed extensive cracking in the heated samples. In addition, microporosities were observed in the calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) phase as a result of phase changes during heating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Arctic ecosystem is changing rapidly, yet information on nearshore fish assemblages for the northeastern Chukchi Sea is extremely limited. To address this information gap, we sampled nearshore fish assemblages with a beach seine and a small bottom trawl at six stations in the northeastern Chukchi Sea in August 2007, 2008, and 2009, and in September 2009. Catch and species composition differed by gear type and between sample periods, including the two in 2009. A total of 16 039 fish representing 18 species were captured in 24 beach seine hauls, and 3108 fish representing 24 species were captured in 48 trawl tows. Beach seine catch was dominated by capelin (83%), and trawl catch was dominated by Arctic cod (56%). Species that were good discriminators between gear types were capelin (seine) and slender eelblenny (trawl), and unidentified small sculpins were the most common taxa caught with both gear types. Capelin and Arctic cod captured by either gear type were mostly juveniles (judging by size). Variability among sampling periods in catch and species composition within gear types can likely be attributed to annual variations in environmental conditions, including differences in water temperature (range: 2∘ - 9∘C). The shallow nearshore environment of the northeastern Chukchi Sea provides important habitat for many fish species and is extremely vulnerable to disturbance. Loss of sea ice from global warming may open up formerly inaccessible areas to oil and gas exploration, vessel traffic, and commercial fishing. Thus, long-term monitoring of nearshore fish assemblages in the Alaskan Arctic is necessary for managers to make informed decisions in this fragile environment. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La composition des prises et des espèces différait en fonction du type d'équipement et des périodes d'échantillonnage, notamment entre les deux périodes de 2009. En tout, 16 039 poissons représentant 18 espèces ont été capturés dans 24 coups de filet de senne de plage, et 3 108 poissons représentant 24 espèces ont été capturés dans 48 traits de chalut. Les prises de senne de plage étaient principalement constituées de capelans (83 %), tandis que la morue polaire (56 %) dominait les prises de chalut. Les espèces qui faisaient une bonne discrimination entre les types d'équipement étaient le capelan (senne) et la lompénie de Fabricius (chalut), et les petits chabots non identifiés étaient les taxons les plus courants à avoir été attrapés avec les deux types d'équipement. Les capelans et les morues polaires capturés par l'un ou l'autre des types d'équipement étaient surtout juvéniles (d'après leur taille). La variabilité de la composition des prises et des espèces entre les périodes d'échantillonnage est vraisemblablement attribuable à la variation annuelle des conditions environnementales, dont les différences de température de l'eau (écart entre 2∘ et 9∘ C). Le milieu sublittoral peu profond du nord-est de la mer des Tchouktches est un habitat important pour de nombreuses espèces de poissons et est extrêmement vulnérable aux perturbations. La perte de glace de mer attribuable au réchauffement planétaire risque d'ouvrir des zones anciennement inaccessibles à l'exploration pétrolière et gazière, à la circulation d'embarcations et à la pêche commerciale. Par conséquent, la surveillance à long terme des assemblages de poissons du sublittoral de la partie alaskienne de l'Arctique s'impose pour que les gestionnaires puissent prendre des décisions éclairées dans cet environnement fragile.

AB - The AOAC Quantitative Three Step Method (TSM; AOAC Official MethodSM 2008.05) is validated for testing the efficacy of liquid sporicides against spores of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus anthracis on selected hard, nonporous, and porous surfaces. The TSM uses 5 X 5 X 1 mm inoculated coupons (carriers), which are placed in 400 µL liquid sporicidal agent contained in a microcentrifuge tube. Following exposure of inoculated carriers to the test chemical and subsequent neutralization, viable spores are recovered in three fractions: A (gentle tapping), B (sonication), and C (gentle agitation). The spores in suspension are serially diluted and plated on a recovery medium for enumeration. The plate counts are summed over the three fractions to provide the number of viable spores per carrier, which is log10-transformed to generate a mean log density (LD) value across carriers. As a measure of product efficacy, a log reduction (LR) value is calculated by subtracting the mean LD for treated carriers from the mean LD for control carriers. This paper reports on the comparative evaluation of the current and modified versions of the TSM in order to support a modification to simplify the procedure. The proposed modified TSM (mTSM) consolidates fractions B and C in the same tube. Thus, the sonication (fraction B) and gentle agitation (fraction C) steps are carried out in the same tube, thereby reducing the number of tubes and associated resources and time necessary to complete the test. Glass, steel, pine wood, and ceramic tile carriers were included in the comparative study. Inoculated carriers were evaluated against two preparations of sodium hypochlorite to generate two presumed levels of efficacy (intermediate and high); the control LD and LR values associated with testing each carrier type for the TSM and the mTSM were compared. For control carriers, the mean log densities per carrier (for each carrier material) were not significantly different based on the TSM compared to the mTSM. Furthermore, the treated carrier data showed comparable LR values for the TSM and mTSM. The data provided in this report demonstrate equivalency between the TSM and mTSM and support the proposed procedural modification to consolidate fractions B and C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig's mediation between Great Britain and Argentina during the 1982 Falklands Islands crisis is no historical curiosity. His failed mission provides valuable insights into the precarious character of the United States acting as a third-party mediator in territorial disputes, a challenge in the contemporary security environment. The case study highlights the immense responsibilities a mediator from a powerful nation bears in seeking to resolve a dispute. It also demonstrates that success depends heavily on the mediator's skills as well as other factors; equally consequential is how a government helps the mediator shape the effort through its policymaking process.

AB - Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) causes lethal shock by potently stimulating the host immune response. Dexamethasone and /V-acetyl cysteine (NAC) are anti-inflammatory and antioxidative drugs, respectively, which can independently modulate immune function. Dexamethasone was previously shown to be effective in preventing SEB-induced shock models only if administered early and in multiple doses for a long duration. In this study, dexamethasone and NAC were used in tandem and protected mice (75%) against SEB-induced lethal shock. Hypothermia and weight loss elicited by SEB were also diminished by this novel combination treatment. The levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and mouse gamma interferon in lung tissue after intranasal exposure to SEB were also significantly reduced in mice given a combination of dexamethasone and NAC versus controls.

AB - The O'ahu 'Elepaio (Chasiempis ibidis) is an endangered monarch flycatcher endemic to the Hawaiian Island of O'ahu. Current information on abundance, distribution, and population trend is needed to help assess the species status and identify areas where conservation efforts can be focused. We used spot-mapping methods with song playbacks to conduct surveys in the Ko'olau Mountains from 2011-2012, and we used occupancy sampling with repeated visits to estimate detection probability. We detected 545 male and 317 female O'ahu 'Elepaio. The detection probability of males was 0.92 ± 0.03 and that of females was 0.86 ± 0.05, yielding corrected estimates of 592 males (95% CI = 554-630) and 369 females (95% CI = 327411 ). Combined with results of a previous census in the Wai'anae Mountains that found 192 males and 84 females, the total estimated population of the species is 1,261 birds (95% CI = 1,205-1,317), consisting of about 477 breeding pairs and 307 single males. The O'ahu 'Elepaio has declined in abundance by about 50% since the 1990s, when the population was estimated to be about 1,974 birds. The current geographic range of the O'ahu 'Elepaio encompassed about 5,187 ha and has declined by 75% since 1975, becoming fragmented into four larger subpopulations with 100 or more birds each and 12 smaller subpopulations. Rat control to reduce nest predation remains the cornerstone of the conservation strategy for the O'ahu 'Elepaio, but variation in forest structure, forest dynamics, and continuing evolution of 'elepaio nesting behavior are likely to play important roles in determining whether this species can persist.

AB - It is demonstrated that collective spin waves (SWs) propagating in complex periodic arrays of dipolarly coupled magnetic nanopillars existing in a saturated (single-domain) ground state in a zero bias magnetic field could be nonreciprocal. To guarantee the SW nonreciprocity, two conditions should be fulfilled: (i) existence of a nonzero out-of-plane component of the pillars' static magnetization and (ii) a complex periodicity of array's ground state with at least two elements per a primitive cell, if the elements are different, and at least three elements per a primitive cell, if the elements are identical.

AB - A single-particle fluorescence spectrometer (SPFS) and an aerodynamic particle sizer were used to measure the fluorescence spectra and particle size distribution from the particulate emissions of 12 different burning materials in a tube furnace to simulate open-air burning of garbage. Although the particulate emissions are likely dominated by particles <1 μm diameter, only the spectra of supermicron particles were measured here. The overall fluorescence spectral profiles exhibit either one or two broad bands peaked around 300-450 nm within the 280-650 nm spectral range, when the particles are illuminated with a 263-nm laser. Different burning materials have different profiles, some of them (cigarette, hair, uniform, paper, and plastics) show small changes during the burning process, and while others (beef, bread, carrot, Styrofoam, and wood) show big variations, which initially exhibit a single UV peak (around 310-340 nm) and a long shoulder in visible, and then gradually evolve into a bimodal spectrum with another visible peak (around 430-450 nm) having increasing intensity during the burning process. These spectral profiles could mainly derive from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with the combinations of tyrosine-like, tryptophan-like, and other humic-like substances. About 68 % of these single-particle fluorescence spectra can be grouped into 10 clustered spectral templates that are derived from the spectra of millions of atmospheric aerosol particles observed in three locations; while the others, particularly these bimodal spectra, do not fall into any of the 10 templates. Therefore, the spectra from particulate emissions of burning materials can be easily discriminated from that of common atmospheric aerosol particles. The SFFS technology could be a good tool for monitoring burning pit emissions and possibly for distinguishing them from atmospheric aerosol particles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The manufacture of novel synthetic chemicals has increased in volume and variety, but often the environmental and health risks are not fully understood in terms of toxicity and, in particular, exposure. While efforts to assess risks have generally been effective when sufficient data are available, the hazard and exposure data necessary to assess risks adequately are unavailable for the vast majority of chemicals in commerce. The US Environmental Protection Agency has initiated the ExpoCast Program to develop tools for rapid chemical evaluation based on potential for exposure. In this context, a model is presented in which chemicals are evaluated based on inherent chemical properties and behaviorally-based usage characteristics over the chemical’s life cycle. These criteria are assessed and integrated within a decision analytic framework, facilitating rapid assessment and prioritization for future targeted testing and systems modeling. A case study outlines the prioritization process using 51 chemicals. The results show a preliminary relative ranking of chemicals based on exposure potential. The strength of this approach is the ability to integrate relevant statistical and mechanistic data with expert judgment, allowing for an initial tier assessment that can further inform targeted testing and risk management strategies.

AB - Background: U.S. Army Soldiers must meet body weight and composition standards and consequently may use nutritional supplements (NS) purported to assist in weight modification (WM). Nutritional supplements are dietary supplements (DS) and foods intended to supplement the diet. Purpose: This study assessed relationships between NS use, demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, and WM goals among U.S. Army personnel. Methods: Participants (N = 990) self-reported NS use, categorized as energy drinks, sport nutrition products, or DS, and WM goal (lose, gain, or maintain) was ascertained by survey. DS were subcategorized as health, weight-loss, weight-gain, or other DS. Chi-square and logistic regression were used to assess relationships between predictors, NS use, and WM goal. Most respondents (70.3% ± 1.7%) consumed some NS; however, overall NS use was not related to WM goal. Significant relationships were observed between predictors (tobacco use, age, body-mass index, fitness score, general health, and eating habits) and both WM goal and NS use. Respondents attempting to lose or maintain weight were less likely to consume energy drinks and weight-gain DS. Conclusion: WM goal is related to multiple health behaviors including tobacco use, physical fitness score, and self-perception of health and eating behavior. NS are consumed in this population regardless of WM goal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Training Range Environmental Evaluation and Characterization System (TREECS™) computes the fate and transport of munitions constituents deposited on military firing/training ranges. TREECSTMwas developed with two levels of capability, Tiers 1 and 2, where Tier 1 is for conservative screening assessments, and Tier 2 is for more accurate predictions. The models and associated processes for Tier 2 are described. Tier 2 was applied to ranges at Fort A.P. Hill, VA, for initial demonstration purposes. Observed field data were provided after model application and are compared to model-computed results. Although the comparison was not sufficient for model validation, it does demonstrate that the model leads to the same general conclusions that the field data provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Previous research indicates a relationship between perceived fear for one's safety (i.e., threat appraisal) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This prospective study examined relationships among deployment- and predeployment-related variables, threat appraisal, and postdeployment PTSD symptom severity. Prior to Iraq deployment, 774 U.S. Army soldiers completed self-report measures assessing previous life stressors, deployment history, current (predeployment) PTSD symptoms, deployment preparedness, and unit cohesion. Following deployment, participants completed self-report measures assessing combat intensity, deployment threat appraisal, and current (postdeployment) PTSD symptoms. Structural equation modeling revealed that predeployment PTSD symptom severity, prior warzone deployment, unit cohesion, and preparedness were each independently associated with deployment threat appraisal, even after taking into account combat intensity. Deployment threat appraisal was associated with postdeployment PTSD severity. Results indicated that predeployment PTSD symptom severity, history of warzone deployment, and preparedness-risk factors previously thought to influence PTSD outcomes directly-were either partially or fully mediated by threat appraisal. The model explained 15% of the variance in deployment threat appraisal and 50% of the variance in postdeployment PTSD severity. Helping service members cope with exposure to extreme stress during deployment by modifying certain prewar risk factors may facilitate reduction of PTSD symptoms following deployment.

AB - Nanocrystalline (nc) Mg powder was synthesized via cryomilling. Extension twins were identified with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy in the cryomilled powders and the study presents the first evidence of twinning in unalloyed nc Mg. The formation of twins in the nc Mg is attributed to a high strain rate, the low (cryogenic) temperature and high local shear stresses present around the grain boundaries during deformation by cryomilling.

AB - Environmental heat illness and injuries are a serious concern for the Army and Marines. Currently, the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index is used to evaluate heat injury risk. The index is a weighted average of dry-bulb temperature (Tdb), black globe temperature (Tbg), and natural wet-bulb temperature (Tnwb). The WBGT index would be mote widely used if it could be determined using standard weather instruments. This study compares models developed by Liljegren at Argonne National Laboratory and by Matthew at the U.S. Army Institute of Environmental Medicine that calculate WBGT using standard meteorological measurements. Both models use air temperature (Ta), relative humidity, wind speed, and global solar radiation (RG) to calculate Tnwb and Tbg. The WBGT and meteorological data used for model validation were collected at Griffin, Georgia and Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Arizona. Liljegren (YPG: R2 = 0.709, p < 0.01; Griffin: R2 = 0.854, p < 0.01) showed closer agreement between calculated and actual WBGT than Matthew (YPG: R2 = 0.630, p < 0.01; Griffin: R2 = 0.677, p < 0.01). Compared to actual WBGT heat categorization, the Matthew model tended to underpredict compared to Liljegren's classification. Results indicate Liljegren is an acceptable alternative to direct WBGT measurement, but verification under other environmental conditions is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Increasing numbers of Staphylococcus aureus infections demonstrate antibiotic resistance. Military populations experiencing crowding are at increased risk of community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. High prevalence of CA-MRSA infection among Army personnel was previously documented at Fort Benning, GA from 2002 to 2007. Purpose: To ascertain recent CA-MRSA trends at Fort Benning regarding antibiotic susceptibility, infection rates, and treatment regimens among Army personnel. Methods: Incident CA-MRSA cases among active duty members/trainees from January 2008 to December 2010 were identified using active surveillance and laboratory data. Results: In total, 2,171 infections were identified, representing 5,794 CA-MRSA-related clinic visits. Annual rates decreased from 33 to 27 infections per 1,000 soldiers from 2008 to 2010. Approximately 78% of isolates were from training units. Approximately 4% of infections required hospitalization. Most infections (97%) were treated with antibiotics (36% received antibiotics and wound drainage). Antibiotic susceptibility patterns remained comparable to previous assessments. Conclusion: The observed decline in CA-MRSA rates and associated hospitalizations, coupled with stable antibiotic susceptibility patterns, is encouraging. Passive surveillance using laboratory records proved useful in identifying infection and could enhance detection across training sites. Given the continued high CA-MRSA prevalence among trainees, providers/public health personnel should remain vigilant to bolster prevention, detection, and treatment efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article examines how the U.S. Army came to adopt the physical profile. In 1945, the Army adopted the physical profile system that has, with some changes, survived to this day. Although the profile system does not always work smoothly, it replaced a system that was failing completely to deliver physically fit men to combat units. The World War II problems were the outgrowth of two World War I systems that had been adopted to speed mobilization by (1) accepting physically substandard men and (2) matching men to a noncombat job by their skills. By simply identifying a soldier as "General Service" or "Limited Service" it did not provide enough information about his limitations. In addition, the Army used an intelligence test to grade manpower, but because it lacked information on a man's physical abilities/limitations, that data were misused to allot manpower. These policies interacted with a societal disdain for the "handicapped" and "substandard" and made it hard to use Limited Service men. Adding detail to the information on physical abilities was the Army's solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The indentation-size effect ( ISE) in a commercial SiAlON was investigated by conducting Knoop indentation between 0.1 and 20 kg. The resulting ISE was analyzed utilizing Meyer's Law, Proportional Specimen Resistance ( PSR) model, and a Multifractal Scaling Law ( MFSL). Meyer's law and the PSR model fits to the hardness-load data were not excellent. Further analysis based on the PSR model and MFSL revealed three piecewise linear fits corresponding to load regimes 0.1-0.3, 0.5-2, and 5-20 kg. Physical inference of MFSL fit parameters suggested that these three load regimes correspond to where indentation behavior is governed by deformation mechanisms limited to single grains, grain boundaries, and multiple grains, respectively. Independent of the ISE analysis results, comprehensive examination of indents by scanning electron microscopy revealed that changes in deformation mechanisms could also be grouped into these three load regimes. Corresponding changes in deformation mechanisms were microcleavage cracking, grain-boundary cracking, and macrocracking, respectively. These observations are consistent with the findings of both the PSR model and MFSL with respect to the physical aspects of the governing mechanisms. It is concluded that these mechanisms are responsible for the observed ISE in this commercial SiAlON. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This essay uses the case of Zanzibar in its complicated relationship with the United Republic of Tanzania (of which it is a part) as a lens on debates in political geography on empirical and conceptual approaches to critical geopolitics. We test the veracity of a multi-faceted critical geopolitics in the contemporary public contestation of Zanzibar's place in the United Republic from 2008–2012. We analyze Tanzanian media, the speech acts of Tanzanian leaders, and the key events and processes related to what is termed the ‘Zanzibar problem’ during the selected years, to make two points about a critical geopolitics approach: to strengthen critical geopolitics by broadening the analysis of language to engage political acts and languages beyond the Global North; and taking ‘subaltern geopolitics’ more seriously via engagement with critical geopolitical voices on discourses, events and processes from the Global South.

AB - Purpose/Objectives: To determine whether psychosocial factors predict depression among older African American patients with cancer.Design: A descriptive correlational study.Setting: Outpatient oncology clinic of a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in the southeastern United States.Sample: African American patients with cancer aged 50-88 years.Methods: Fisher's exact and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to evaluate differences between patients who were possibly depressed (Geriatric Depression Scale) or not. Multivariate linear regression statistics were used to identify the psychosocial factors that predicted higher depression scores. Education and gender were included as covariates.Main Research Variables: Religiosity, emotional support, collectivism, perceived stigma, and depression.Findings: Participants (N = 77) had a mean age of 61 years (SD = 8.4), and a majority were well-educated, insured, religiously affiliated, and currently in treatment. Participants who were in the lowest income category, not married, or male had higher depression scores. The multivariable model consisting of organized religion, emotional support, collectivism, education, and gender explained 52% (adjusted R2) of the variation in depression scores. Stigma became insignificant in the multivariable model.Conclusions: Psychosocial factors are important predictors of depression. Emotional support and organized religious activities may represent protective factors against depression, whereas collectivism may increase their risk.Implications for Nursing: Nurses need to be particularly aware of the potential psychological strain for patients with collectivist values, experienced stigma, disruptions in church attendance, and lack of emotional support. In addition, the treatment plans for these patients should ensure that family members are knowledgeable about cancer, its treatment, and side effects so they are empowered to meet support needs.Knowledge Translation: Among older African American patients with cancer, emotional support and reassurance from family and friends that they will not abandon them decreases the likelihood of depressive symptoms and minimizes the impact of stigmatizing responses, but the perception that the illness is placing a strain on the family increases the likelihood of such symptoms. Emotional support likely is a stronger predictor of depressive symptoms than religious service attendance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - After the Battle of Saratoga (October 1777) in the American War of Independence, British leaders conducted a comprehensive reassessment of their military strategy but examined the new strategy's ways and means without considering the ends or objectives of the war. Using extensive primary sources, this article examines the reassessment process and concludes that the effort was fatally flawed because King George III and his ministers failed to reevaluate the war's objectives, given the changed strategic environment after Saratoga. The resulting British military strategy suffered from an imbalance between ends, ways, and means. Thus, British leaders incurred significant risk in executing their new strategy.

AB - During World War II, U.S. airmen circulated pernicious rumors about the motives of the hundreds of aircrews who landed in neutral countries. Although investigated and disproven by the leadership of the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF), the rumors persisted in popular memory and ultimately stigmatized the veterans who endured neutral captivity. This essay examines the motives of some airmen who landed in Switzerland, and argues that the stigma associated with neutral captivity resulted in denials of benefits and military decorations to deserving veterans.

AB - Background Refrigeration of platelets ( PLTs) offers an attractive alternative to the currently practiced storage at room temperature since it may mitigate problems associated with bacterial contamination and extend storage lifetime. Refrigeration causes a number of biophysical and biochemical changes in PLTs and decreases PLT circulation time in vivo. However, the effect of refrigeration on PLT hemostatic functions under physiologic and pathophysiologic shear conditions has not been adequately characterized. Study Design and Methods Washed PLTs prepared from either fresh PLT-rich plasma ( PRP) or PRP stored at 4°C for 2 days was mixed with exogenous von Willebrand factor ( VWF) and fibrinogen and sheared in a cone-and-plate viscometer. PLT aggregation, activation, and VWF binding after shear and glycoprotein ( GP) Ibα receptor expression and ristocetin-induced PLT agglutination were measured. Results PLTs stored at 4°C for 2 days aggregated significantly more than fresh PLTs particularly at high shear rates (10,000/sec), and this increase was independent of PLT concentration or suspension viscosity. Further, refrigerated PLTs showed a greater increase in GP Ibα-dependent PLT activation under shear and also bound more VWF than fresh PLTs. However, the GP Ibα expression levels as measured by three different antibodies were significantly lower in refrigerated PLTs than in fresh PLTs, and refrigeration resulted in a modest decrease in ristocetin-induced PLT agglutination. Conclusion The combined results demonstrate that refrigeration increases PLT aggregation under high shear, but not static, conditions and also increases shear-induced VWF binding and PLT activation. Clinically, enhanced shear-induced PLT aggregation due to low temperature storage may be a beneficial strategy to prevent severe bleeding in trauma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The channel analysis and design evaluation tool ( CADET) is a numerical program to determine the optimum dredge depth for the offshore portions of entrance channels. A brief description of the theoretical basis and risk assessment in CADET is presented. Validation comparisons between CADET predictions and field measurements of wave-induced vertical motions at Ambrose Channel, New York, are presented. Prototype ship motions were measured with a differential global positioning system in April 1998 along three 488-m-long reaches. Comparisons were made with six ships, three tankers and three containerships, during inbound and outbound transits. In general, the CADET predictions matched the field measurements reasonably well, especially considering the wave heights were relatively small during the measurement period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Lower Mississippi River protrudes into the Gulf of Mexico, and manmade levees line only the west bank for 55 km of the Lower Plaquemines section. Historically, sustained easterly winds from hurricanes have directed surge across Breton Sound, into the Mississippi River and against its west bank levee, allowing for surge to build and then propagate efficiently upriver and thus increase water levels past New Orleans. This case study applies a new and extensively validated basin- to channel-scale, high-resolution, unstructured-mesh ADvanced CIRCulation model to simulate a suite of historical and hypothetical storms under low to high river discharges. The results show that during hurricanes, (1) total water levels in the lower river south of Pointe à La Hache are only weakly dependent on river flow, and easterly wind-driven storm surge is generated on top of existing ambient strongly flow-dependent river stages, so the surge that propagates upriver reduces with increasing river flow; (2) natural levees and adjacent wetlands on the east and west banks in the Lower Plaquemines capture storm surge in the river, although not as effectively as the manmade levees on the west bank; and (3) the lowering of manmade levees along this Lower Plaquemines river section to their natural state, to allow storm surge to partially pass across the Mississippi River, will decrease storm surge upriver by 1 to 2 m between Pointe à La Hache and New Orleans, independent of river flow.

AB - The risk-based design of a reef breakwater requires the prediction of the temporal variations of the damage and wave transmission coefficient during storms. The cross-shore numerical model is extended to the landward zone of the wave transmission. The extended model is compared with 148 tests for a reef breakwater with a narrow crest at or above the still water level where the narrow crest was lowered by wave action. The model is also compared with an experiment on a wide-crested submerged breakwater in which the crest height increased during 20-h wave action. The damage, crest height, and wave transmission coefficient are predicted reasonably well; however, the damaged profile is not predicted accurately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In the study described here, reinforced and unreinforced specimens of reactive powder concrete were scanned using an X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging system that allowed characterization and measurement of internal features. The X-ray CT imaging was done in conjunction with three-point bending tests of notched beam specimens. Unreinforced specimens were used to measure specific fracture energy in a way that accounts for the irregular shape of the fracture surface. For fiber-reinforced specimens, 3D digital image analysis techniques were used to measure fiber volume fraction, as well as the orientation of each individual fiber. In postfracture scans, the total amount of internal cracking was measured, as was the degree of fiber pullout relative to undamaged specimens. Measurements show that with a nominal steel fiber volume fraction between 3.5 and 4.0% there can be a greater than a 100-fold increase in the net work of load. Through quantitative analysis of the tomographic images, we could account for close to 90% of that increase. The analysis shows that roughly half of the internal energy dissipation comes from matrix cracking, including the crack branching and multiple crack systems facilitated by the fibers, while the remaining energy dissipation is a result of fiber pullout.

AB - Background: Tourniquet use recently became common in war, but knowledge gaps remain regarding analysis of recovered devices. The purpose of this study was to analyze tourniquets to identify opportunities for improved training. Methods: We analyzed tourniquets recovered from deceased service members serving in support of recent combat operations by a team at Dover Air Force Base from 2010 to 2012. Device makes and models, breakage deformation, band routing, and windlass turn numbers were counted. Results: We recovered 824 tourniquets; 390 were used in care and 434 were carried unused. Most tourniquets were recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (Combat Application Tourniquet [CAT] or Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet). The ban was routed once through the buckle in 37% of used CATs, twice in 62%, and 1% had none. For tourniquets with data, the windlass turn number averaged 3.2 (range, 0-9). The CAT windlass turn number was associated positively wit tourniquet deformation as moderate or severe deformation began at 2 turns, increased in likelihood stepwise with each turn, and became omnipresent at 7 or more. Conclusions: Tourniquet counts, band routings, windlass turn numbers, and deformation rates are candidate topics for instructors to refine training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: The Combat Ready Clamp is indicated to stop difficult inguinal bleeding on the battlefield, the most common type of junctional bleeding and now the most common cause of preventable battlefield death. The purpose of the present study is to report the data of clamp development to help appliers use it correctly. Methods: Wake Forest University investigators used a cadaver model to test the clamp's ability to control hemorrhage. Ten fresh cadavers were made to simulate inguinal and popliteal wound bleeding. Blood simulant was pumped to quantify device effectiveness in testing. Points of application included proximal pressure point control of popliteal, inguinal, and bilateral bleeding. Results: Clamp use promptly controlled pulsing arterial hemorrhages from inguinal, popliteal, and bilateral wounds. The device, when placed on the common lilac artery, stopped all ipsilateral distal bleeding. Conclusions: The evidence of how the clamp works in the cadaver model showed that clamp use can plausibly be tailored to control inguinal hemorrhage from one wound, control two ipsilateral wounds with hemorrhage from one artery (e.g., common iliac artery), and control bilateral inguinal wounds (compression of the origins of bilateral common iliac arteries).

AB - Training nor an assessment of what service members perceive as useful from their perspective. In response to this knowledge gap, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Human Factors & Medicine Research & Technology Task Group "Mental Health Training" initiated a survey and interview with seven to twenty recruits from nine nations to inform the development of such training (N = 121). All nations provided data from soldiers joining the military as volunteers, whereas two nations also provided data from conscripts. Results from the volunteer data showed relatively consistent ranking in terms of perceived demands, coping strategies, and preferences for resilience skill training across the nations. Analysis of data from conscripts identified a select number of differences compared to volunteers. Subjects also provided examples of coping with stress during Basic Training that can be used in future training; themes are presented here. Results are designed to show the kinds of demands facing new recruits and coping methods used to overcome these demands to develop relevant resilience training for NATO nations [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An important element of rotorcraft UAV operations is safe landing area determination (SLAD), which is the ability to select desirable landing or load placement areas at unprepared sites. Effectively and reliably accomplishing this task would greatly enhance high-level autonomous capabilities in many operations such as search and rescue and resupply. This paper presents the results of quantitatively evaluating two SLAD algorithms using a new test method that incorporates a detailed survey of the test sites. These survey sites act as benchmarks against which the SLAD methods are compared. One SLAD algorithm is a new approach that uses laser range data to detect a set of potential landing points and uses fuzzy logic to rank them based on surface roughness, size, and terrain slope metrics. The second algorithm uses laser range data to optimize a performance index, based on sliding window statistics of surface slope and roughness over the landing zone, to select potential landing points. Flight-test data were collected at six sites ranging from simple to complex with multiple runs at each site. Both methods are evaluated based on their true-positive and false-positive rates and the consistency of their landing site selection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The potential for bioaugmentation with aerobic explosive degrading bacteria to remediate hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) contaminated aquifers was demonstrated. Repacked aquifer sediment columns were used to examine the transport and RDX degradation capacity of the known RDX degrading bacterial strains Gordonia sp. KTR9 (modified with a kanamycin resistance gene) Pseudomonas fluorescens I-C, and a kanamycin resistant transconjugate Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 pGKT2:Km. All three strains were transported through the columns and eluted ahead of the conservative bromide tracer, although the total breakthrough varied by strain. The introduced cells responded to biostimulation with fructose (18 mg L, 0.1 mM) by degrading dissolved RDX (0.5 mg L, 2.3 µM). The strains retained RDX-degrading activity for at least 6 months following periods of starvation when no fructose was supplied to the column. Post-experiment analysis of the soil indicated that the residual cells were distributed along the length of the column. When the strains were grown to densities relevant for field-scale application, the cells remained viable and able to degrade RDX for at least 3 months when stored at 4 °C. These results indicate that bioaugmentation may be a viable option for treating RDX in large dilute aerobic plumes. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Current drinking water standards for chromium are for the combined total of both hexavalent and trivalent chromium (Cr(VI) and Cr(III)). However, recent studies have shown that Cr(III) is not carcinogenic to rodents, whereas mice chronically exposed to high levels of Cr(VI) developed duodenal tumors. These findings may suggest the need for environmental standards specific for Cr(VI). Whether the intestinal tumors arose through a mutagenic or non-mutagenic mode of action (MOA) greatly impacts how drinking water standards for Cr(VI) are derived. Herein, X-ray fluorescence (spectro)microscopy (µ-XRF) was used to image the Cr content in the villus and crypt regions of duodena from B6C3F1 mice exposed to 180 mg/l Cr(VI) in drinking water for 13 weeks. DNA damage was also assessed by γ-H2AX immunostaining. Exposure to Cr(VI) induced villus blunting and crypt hyperplasia in the duodenum—the latter evidenced by lengthening of the crypt compartment by ∼2-fold with a concomitant 1.5-fold increase in the number of crypt enterocytes. γ-H2AX immunostaining was elevated in villi, but not in the crypt compartment. µ-XRF maps revealed mean Cr levels >30 times higher in duodenal villi than crypt regions; mean Cr levels in crypt regions were only slightly above background signal. Despite the presence of Cr and elevated γ-H2AX immunoreactivity in villi, no aberrant foci indicative of transformation were evident. These findings do not support a MOA for intestinal carcinogenesis involving direct Cr-DNA interaction in intestinal stem cells, but rather support a non-mutagenic MOA involving chronic wounding of intestinal villi and crypt cell hyperplasia.

AB - Rationale: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a chemical weapon stockpiled today in volatile regions of the world. SM inhalation causes a life-threatening airway injury characterized by airway obstruction from fibrin casts, which can lead to respiratory failure and death. Mortality in those requiring intubation is more than 80%. No therapy exists to prevent mortality after SM exposure. Our previous work using the less toxic analog of SM, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, identified tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) an effective rescue therapy for airway cast obstruction (Veress, L. A., Hendry-Hofer, T. B., Loader, J. E., Rioux, J. S., Garlick, R. B., and White, C. W. (2013). Tissue plasminogen activator prevents mortality from sulfur mustard analog-induced airway obstruction. Am. J. Respir. Cell Mol. Biol. 48, 439–447). It is not known if exposure to neat SM vapor, the primary agent used in chemical warfare, will also cause death due to airway casts, and if tPA could be used to improve outcome. Methods: Adult rats were exposed to SM, and when oxygen saturation reached less than 85% (median: 6.5 h), intratracheal tPA or placebo was given under isoflurane anesthesia every 4 h for 48 h. Oxygen saturation, clinical distress, and arterial blood gases were assessed. Microdissection was done to assess airway obstruction by casts. Results: Intratracheal tPA treatment eliminated mortality (0% at 48 h) and greatly improved morbidity after lethal SM inhalation (100% death in controls). tPA normalized SM-associated hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and lactic acidosis, and improved respiratory distress. Moreover, tPA treatment resulted in greatly diminished airway casts, preventing respiratory failure from airway obstruction. Conclusions: tPA given via airway more than 6 h after exposure prevented death from lethal SM inhalation, and normalized oxygenation and ventilation defects, thereby rescuing from respiratory distress and failure. Intra-airway tPA should be considered as a life-saving rescue therapy after a significant SM inhalation exposure incident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Intelligible speech communication while wearing air-purifying respirators is critical for law enforcement officers, particularly when they are communicating with each other or the public. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) requires a 70% overall performance rating to pass speech intelligibility certification for commercial chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear air-purifying respirators. However, the speech intelligibility of certified respirators is not reported and the impact on operational performance is unknown. The objective of this effort was to assess the speech intelligibility of 12 certified air-purifying respirators and to predict their impact on operational performance. The NIOSH respirator certification standard testing procedures were followed. Regression equations were fit to data from studies that examined the impact of degraded speech intelligibility on operational performance of simple and complex missions. The impact of the tested respirators on operational performance was estimated from these equations. Performance ratings observed for each respirator were: MSA Millennium (90%), 3M FR-M40 (88%), MSA Ultra Elite (87%), Scott M110 (86%), North 5400 (85%), Scott M120 (85%), Avon C50 (84%), Avon FM12 (84%), Survivair Optifit (81%), Drager CDR 4500 (81%), Peltor-AOSafety M-TAC (79%), and 3M FR-7800B (78%). The Millennium and FR-M40 had statistically significantly higher scores than the FR-7800B. The Millennium also scored significantly higher than the M-TAC. All of the tested respirators were predicted to have little impact on simple and complex mission performance times and on simple mission success rate. However, the regression equations showed that 75% of missions that require complex communications would be completed while wearing the Millennium, FR-M40, or Ultra Elite but that only 60% would be completed successfully while wearing the FR-7800B. These results suggest that some certified respirators may have a greater impact on speech communications than others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - ABSTRACT Complex socioeconomic and ecological issues, ranging from impaired streams to Gulf of Mexico hypoxia, have made nutrient management an increasingly important issue across the USA. High flows during 2010 and 2011 provided a unique opportunity to investigate trends in discharge, total nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite, total phosphorus, ortho-phosphorus, suspended sediment and total suspended solids during two distinct high-flow years on the Missouri River. We compared collections taken during 2010 and 2011 at 12 lower Missouri River locations (river kilometers 1212 to 71) and 22 Missouri River tributary locations. During 2011, average concentrations for all sampled parameters were significantly lower, despite significantly higher total discharge, than 2010 concentrations. Differences in water chemistry between years are likely attributed to the primary source of water. Tributary inflow created high flows during 2010, whereas record releases from Gavins Point Dam created high flows during 2011. Analysis of flow estimated the contribution of these releases at each site and revealed strong positive relationships between the percentage of estimated tributary flow at each site and the concentrations of total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total suspended solids. These monitoring efforts underline the contrasting impacts that tributary streams and reservoir releases have on nutrient export of the Missouri River during high-flow events and reveal a larger trend of increased nutrient concentrations as the proportion of Missouri River tributary flow increased. Published 2013. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA. River Research and Applications published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - Unlabelled: In the U.S. Army, falls have historically been among the top five causes of hospitalization and a leading cause of nonbattle injuries in military operations overseas.Objective: For safety and public health professionals, commanders, and supervisors looking to address this problem, a literature review was conducted to identify and summarize existing fall prevention strategies applicable to a working-age population.Methods: A total of nine literature databases were searched for articles published from 1970 to 2011. Article titles and abstracts were screened to select original research with an injury or noninjury outcome. Intervention studies were reviewed in detail and quality scored by 3 public health scientists.Results: The search identified over 2,200 articles. Of these, 525 met inclusion criteria and were reviewed in more detail, resulting in identification of 9 interventions. Nearly all of the identified interventions had been implemented in occupational environments. Study quality was rated and scores ranged from 4.5 to 8.0 (maximum 10 points).Conclusions: Few intervention studies were identified. Multifaceted programs showed the greatest promise for translation to military environments. Additional evaluation research is greatly needed to further efforts to address this leading military public health problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - The Department of Defense Serum Repository (DoDSR) of the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center (AFHSC), Silver Spring, Maryland, has over 55 million specimens. Over 80% of these specimens are linked to individual health data. In response to Congressional and Department of Defense (DoD) concern about toxic exposures of deployed Service members and rapidly developing laboratory capabilities that may identify those exposed, the AFHSC hosted two panels in 2013. The first, the Needs Panel, focused on assessing the needs of the DoD that may be met using the current DoDSR and an enhanced repository. The second panel, the Technical Panel, focused on identifying the emerging laboratory technologies that are or will be available to DoD public health workers and researchers. This report summarizes the recommendations of the Technical Panel, to include identified gaps in the ability of the current DoDSR to address questions of interest to the DoD, the availability of laboratory technology to address these needs, and the types and quality of specimens required from Service members possibly exposed.

AB - With the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) flux concentrator, we have been able to increase the operating frequency of small magnetic sensors above the region where 1/f noise dominates. The device accomplished this by modulating the field via the oscillatory motion of flux concentrators on MEMS flaps. Electrostatic comb drives were used to drive the MEMS flaps. We have demonstrated an increase in the signal to noise ratio at 1 Hz, that the power signal correctly depends on V4 where V is the amplitude of the voltage energizing the comb drives, and that the signal increases dramatically with vacuum packaging.

N2 - Crossed dominance (CD) is defined as an individual's dominant hand and dominant eye being on opposite sides of the body. CD negatively impacts an individual's ability to accurately aim and fire long-barreled guns. The authors developed and evaluated a hand dominance transfer (HDT) intervention to improve the M16 rifle shooting accuracy, efficiency, and skill transfer. Twenty-four U.S. Army soldiers with CD were taught how to handle and fire an M16 rifle using the nondominant hand. Training was conducted at a military, indoor laser-equipped weapons simulator. Accuracy for shooting 40 rounds at baseline with the nondominant eye and dominant hand (NDE/DH) was 22.12 compared to shooting 30.46 with the dominant eye and nondominant hand (DE/NDH). This difference was statistically significant withp= .000. The transfer of shooting accuracy skill (retention) following the HDT intervention was 33.42 with a comparativepvalue of .100. Efficiency of shooting 10 rounds at baseline with the NDE/DH was 6.3 compared to shooting 7.3 with the DE/NDH. This difference was not statistically significant (p= .107). The transfer of shooting efficiency skill (retention) was 7.96 with a comparativepvalue of .349. This study supports shooting with the DE/NDH. HDT could be further developed to address the soldiering skill of shooting an M16. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - The structural and chemical stabilities of single-crystal boron carbide (B4C) under severe mechanical scratching in air and water were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Amorphous and nanocrystalline B4C as well as nanostructured boron nitride (BN) were observed in the scratched fragments. Energy-filtered TEM analysis and thermodynamic calculations suggested that the BN nanophase results from the reaction of very small B4C fragments with nitrogen in the ambience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Molecular dipole moments of analytic density-functional theory are investigated. The effect of element-dependent exchange potentials on these moments are examined by comparison with conventional quantum-chemical methods and experiment for the subset of the extended G2 set of molecules that have nonzero dipole moment. Fitting the Kohn-Sham [Phys. Rev. 140, A1133 (1965)] potential itself makes a mean absolute error of less than 0.1 D. Variation of α (Slater’s [Phys. Rev. 81, 385 (1951)] exchange parameter) values has far less effect on dipole moments than on energies. It is argued that in variable α methods one should choose the smaller of the two rather than the geometric mean of the two α values for the heteroatomic part of the linear-combination-atomic-orbital density. Calculations on the dipole moment of NH2(CH)24NO2 are consistent with earlier calculations and show that varying the differences between α values for atoms with different atomic numbers has only short-ranged electrostatic effects.

AB - In this paper, we report on the growth by molecular beam epitaxy and fabrication of high power nitride-based ultraviolet light emitting diodes emitting in the spectral range between 340 and 350 nm. The devices were grown on (0001) sapphire substrates via plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The growth of the light emitting diode (LED) structures was preceded by detailed materials studies of the bottom n-AlGaN contact layer, as well as the GaN/AlGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) active region. Specifically, kinetic conditions were identified for the growth of the thick n-AlGaN films to be both smooth and to have fewer defects at the surface. Transmission-electron microscopy studies on identical GaN/AlGaN MQWs showed good quality and well-defined interfaces between wells and barriers. Large area mesa devices (800×800 μm2) were fabricated and were designed for backside light extraction. The LEDs were flip-chip bonded onto a Si submount for better heat sinking. For devices emitting at 340 nm, the measured differential on-series resistance is 3 Ω with electroluminescence spectrum full width at half maximum of 18 nm. The output power under dc bias saturates at 0.5 mW, while under pulsed operation it saturates at approximately 700 mA to a value of 3 mW, suggesting that thermal heating limits the efficiency of these devices. The output power of the investigated devices was found to be equivalent with those produced by the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition and hydride vapor-phase epitaxy methods. The devices emitting at 350 nm were investigated under dc operation and the output power saturates at 4.5 mW under 200 mA drive current. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We present a mesoscale simulation technique, called the reaction ensemble dissipative particle dynamics (RxDPD) method, for studying reaction equilibrium of polymer systems. The RxDPD method combines elements of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and reaction ensemble Monte Carlo (RxMC), allowing for the determination of both static and dynamical properties of a polymer system. The RxDPD method is demonstrated by considering several simple polydispersed homopolymer systems. RxDPD can be used to predict the polydispersity due to various effects, including solvents, additives, temperature, pressure, shear, and confinement. Extensions of the method to other polymer systems are straightforward, including grafted, cross-linked polymers, and block copolymers. To simulate polydispersity, the system contains full polymer chains and a single fractional polymer chain, i.e., a polymer chain with a single fractional DPD particle. The fractional particle is coupled to the system via a coupling parameter that varies between zero (no interaction between the fractional particle and the other particles in the system) and one (full interaction between the fractional particle and the other particles in the system). The time evolution of the system is governed by the DPD equations of motion, accompanied by changes in the coupling parameter. The coupling-parameter changes are either accepted with a probability derived from the grand canonical partition function or governed by an equation of motion derived from the extended Lagrangian. The coupling-parameter changes mimic forward and reverse reaction steps, as in RxMC simulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The silicon carbide (SiC)–silicon dioxide (SiO2) interface in SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) has shown the presence of a very large number of trap states. These traps become filled during inversion causing a lowering of conduction charge in the inversion layer, and increases Coulombic scattering of mobile charges. Owing to the large number of occupied interface traps, Coulomb interaction is likely to be an important scattering mechanism for SiC MOSFET device operation, resulting in very low surface mobilities. We have developed a first principles physics-based Coulomb scattering mobility model to understand this phenomenon and to study its effect on mobility in SiC devices. This type of Coulombic scattering is a quasi-two-dimensional phenomenon. Mobile charges located closer to the interface are scattered at a higher rate than those located far away from the interface. Screening of the traps and fixed oxide charges by the inversion layer mobile charges causes a decrease in the scattering rate. Also, at higher temperatures, due to a reduction in occupied trap density, and increasing energy of mobile charges, Coulombic scattering is greatly reduced. Our mobility model incorporates and accounts for all these effects. We have implemented this physics-based Coulomb scattering mobility model into a device simulator and have obtained agreement with experimental current-voltage characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Combined simulation and experimental analyses are performed to characterize the 4H-silicon carbide (SiC) lateral metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). Using a quasi-two-dimensional depth dependent Coulomb mobility model for scattering due to interface and oxide charge, along with existing models for other scattering mechanisms, and an in-house drift diffusion device simulator tailored for SiC MOSFETs, we have extracted values for interface trap density of states for 4H-SiC MOSFETs. Characterization shows that the interface trapped charge in 4H-SiC MOSFETs is responsible for mobility degradation and reduction in mobile inversion charge, and therefore reduced current. Its effect on mobility degradation decreases at higher gate voltages due to increased screening. Our results show that at high gate voltages, surface roughness plays the major role in surface mobility degradation in 4H-SiC MOSFETs. Results indicate that due to high Coulomb scattering near the interface, current density is maximum a few nanometers away from the surface. The model indicates overall mobility values of approximately 20 cm2/V s at the interface, and increasing to approximately 250 cm2/V s near the bottom of the inversion layer. Simulations predict that tenfold reduction in interface and fixed oxide charge density would give rise to very favorable device characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Self-organized quantum dots pattern depends strongly on the elastic strain energy of the substrate. It is well-known experimentally that for the elastic substrate with a high degree of anisotropy, the epitaxially grown island patterns are different for different growth orientations. In this paper, by incorporating the anisotropic strain energy field into a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm for adatom diffusion, we show that the self-organized island pattern on the surface of an anisotropic substrate is closely correlated to the elastic energy distribution on the surface. The anisotropic substrates studied are GaAs with different growth orientations (001), (111), and (113). An isotropic substrate Iso (001), reduced from GaAs, is also investigated for the purpose of comparison. The island patterns on these substrates with and without elastic strain energy are presented. Besides the effect of substrate anisotropy, different growth parameters, including temperature, coverage, and interruption time, are further investigated to identify the optimal growth values. It is observed that the strain energy field in the substrate is the key factor that controls the island pattern, and that the latter is closely correlated to the substrate orientation (anisotropy). Our simulated patterns are also in qualitative agreement with recent experimental growth results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The potential advantage of some magnetic sensors having a large response is greatly decreased because of the 1/f noise. We are developing a device, the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) flux concentrator, that will mitigate the effect of this 1/f noise. It does this by placing flux concentrators on MEMS structures that oscillate at kilohertz frequencies. By shifting the operating frequency, the 1/f noise will be reduced by one to three orders of magnitude depending upon the sensor and the desired operating frequency. We have succeeded in fabricating the necessary MEMS structures and observing the desired kilohertz normal-mode resonant frequencies. Only microwatts are required to drive the motion. We have used spin valves for our magnetic sensors. The measured field enhancement provided by the flux concentrators agrees to within 4% with the value estimated from finite element calculations. No difference was detected in noise measurements on spin valves with and without the flux concentrators. This result provides strong evidence for the validity of our device concept. Solutions to the sole remaining fabrication problem will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The performance of a brackish water aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) system is controlled by complex interactions among many variables. Some of these variables can be combined into dimensionless parameters to investigate the physical behavior and performance of an ASR well. Previous research has demonstrated that six dimensionless numbers are most useful for prediction of general performance of planned ASR projects. This paper first summarizes the critical literature and outlines the six dimensionless parameters and their various variable components. Then the new index is developed using the three best parameters. The three dimensionless parameters (RI, R and D) are normalized, scaled from 0 to 1, and combined through averaging to create a revised 'Brackish Water ASR Site Selection Index' or I. The newly revised index builds upon previous work but also adds new variables important to site selection planning. In order to provide further validity to the index, it is validated against 29 ASR projects in Florida, USA. Finally, the use of the index is demonstrated for the Upper Floridan Aquifer in South Florida, USA. The demonstrated use of the new index illustrates how it can be useful for future ASR planning.

AB - End users face a range of subjective decisions when evaluating climate change impacts on hydrology, but the importance of these decisions is rarely assessed. In this paper, we evaluate the implications of hydrologic modelling choices on projected changes in the annual water balance, monthly simulated processes, and signature measures (i.e. metrics that quantify characteristics of the hydrologic catchment response) under a future climate scenario. To this end, we compare hydrologic changes computed with four different model structures - whose parameters have been obtained using a common calibration strategy - with hydrologic changes computed with a single model structure and parameter sets from multiple options for different calibration decisions (objective function, local optima, and calibration forcing dataset). Results show that both model structure selection and the parameter estimation strategy affect the direction and magnitude of projected changes in the annual water balance, and that the relative effects of these decisions are basin dependent. The analysis of monthly changes illustrates that parameter estimation strategies can provide similar or larger uncertainties in simulations of some hydrologic processes when compared with uncertainties coming from model choice. We found that the relative effects of modelling decisions on projected changes in catchment behaviour depend on the signature measure analysed. Furthermore, parameter sets with similar performance, but located in different regions of the parameter space, provide very different projections for future catchment behaviour. More generally, the results obtained in this study prompt the need to incorporate parametric uncertainty in multi-model frameworks to avoid an over-confident portrayal of climate change impacts.

AB - This paper investigates the development of a kriging surrogate model for storm surge prediction utilizing an existing database of high-fidelity, synthetic storms. This surrogate model (metamodel) provides a fast-to-compute mathematical approximation to the input/output relationship of the computationally expensive simulation model that created this database. The implementation is considered over a large coastal region composed of nearshore nodes (locations where storm surge is predicted) and further examines the ability to provide time-series forecasting. This setting creates a high-dimensional output (over a few thousand surge responses) for the surrogate model with anticipated high spatial/temporal correlation. Kriging is considered as a surrogate model, and special attention is given to the appropriate parameterization of the synthetic storms, based on the characteristics of the given database, to determine the input for the metamodel formulation. Principal component analysis (PCA) is integrated in this formulation as a dimension reduction technique to improve computational efficiency, as well as to provide accurate and continuous predictions for time-dependent outputs without the need to introduce time averaging in the time-series forecasting. This is established by leveraging the aforementioned correlation characteristics within the initial database. A range of different implementation choices is examined within the integrated kriging/PCA setting, such as the development of single or multiple metamodels for the different outputs. The metamodel accuracy for inland nodes that have remained dry in some of the storms in the initial database is also examined. The performance of the surrogate modeling approach is evaluated through a case study, utilizing a database of 446 synthetic storms for the Gulf of Mexico (Louisiana coast). The output considered includes time histories for 30 locations over a period of 45.5 h with 92 uniform time steps, as well as peak responses over a grid of 545,635 nearshore nodes. High accuracy and computational efficiency are observed for the proposed implementation, whereas including the prediction error statistics provides estimations with significant safety margins.

AB - The presence of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in soil and groundwater is a major contamination issue at many military facilities around the world. Gordonia sp. KTR9 metabolizes RDX as a nitrogen source for growth producing 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal (NDAB) as a dead-end product. Methylobacterium sp. strain JS178 degrades NDAB as a sole source of nitrogen for growth. A mixed culture of strains KTR9 and JS178 was able to completely degrade RDX. There was no difference in rate of RDX degradation by KTR9 alone or in co-culture with JS178. The first-order degradation coefficients of RDX and NDAB in the co-culture were 0.08 hr−1 and 0.002 hr−1, respectively. In the co-culture that initially contained RDX plus NDAB, strain JS178 degraded the NDAB that was produced by KTR9 as shown by a decrease in the molar yield of NDAB (from RDX) from 1.0 to -0.11. Co-cultures of strains KTR9 and JS178 could be used to promote complete degradation of RDX in soils or groundwater. ©2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Fort Huachuca, Arizona, located 60 miles (96 km) southeast of Tucson, has had 35 years of experience with various renewable energy systems. This article discusses lessons learned from the successes and failures over the past 35 years, including: an indoor pool solar water heating system installed in 1980; a solar domestic hot water system installed in 1981; a grid connected photovoltaic (PV) system installed in 1982; transpired air solar collectors (Solarwalls™) installed in 2001; daylighting installed in 2001; a 10-kW wind turbine installed in 2002; a 1 MW wind turbine installed in September 2011; PV powered outdoor lighting installed in 1994; a prototype Dish/Stirling solar thermal electric generator installed in 1996; two 30-kW building integrated photovoltaic systems installed on new membrane roofs in January 2009; a 42.84 kW photovoltaic system that was moved from the Pentagon in June 2009 and was operational in early November 2009 on a truck shed roof at Fort Huachuca; and a utility owned 13.6 MW (AC) photovoltaic system installed in 2014. Also discussed is an experimental solar attic system that collects the hot air in an attic and uses a heat exchanger and tank to produce solar domestic hot water. This article discusses the design, installation, metering, operations, and maintenance of these systems, and also work in progress on the installation of commercial, off-the-shelf 3-kW Dish/Stirling solar thermal electric generators and solar thermal/natural gas-to-electric systems at a central plant. Discussions also include biogas (methane from a wastewater digester) and biomass (a wood chip boiler) recently installed at a central heating/cooling plant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this Commentary, we argue that it is possible to improve the physical realism of hydrologic models by making better use of existing hydrologic theory. We address the following questions: (1) what are some key elements of current hydrologic theory; (2) how can those elements best be incorporated where they may be missing in current models; and (3) how can we evaluate competing hydrologic theories across scales and locations? We propose that hydrologic science would benefit from a model-based community synthesis effort to reframe, integrate, and evaluate different explanations of hydrologic behavior, and provide a controlled avenue to find where understanding falls short.

AB - To determine if trinitrotoluene (TNT) forms nonextractable residues in mussels ( Mytilus galloprovincialis ) and fish ( Cyprinodon variegatus ) and to measure the relative degree of accumulation as compared to extractable TNT and its major metabolites, organisms were exposed to water fortified with 14 C-TNT. After 24 h, nonextractable residues made up 75% (mussel) and 83% (fish) while TNT accounted for 2% of total radioactivity. Depuration half-lives for extractable TNT, aminodinitrotoluenes (ADNTs) and diaminonitrotoluenes (DANTs) were fast initially (<0.5 h), but slower for nonextractable residues. Nonextractable residues from organisms were identified as ADNTs and DANTs using 0.1 M HCL for solubilization followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Recovered metabolites only accounted for a small fraction of the bound residue quantified using a radiotracer likely because of low extraction or hydrolysis efficiency or alternative pathways of incorporation of radiolabel into tissue.

AB - In the central United States, recovery efforts for populations of the federally endangered Pallid SturgeonScaphirhynchus albushave been ongoing since its listing in 1990. Its congener, the Shovelnose SturgeonS. platorynchus, has also recently been listed as threatened where it overlaps with Pallid Sturgeon. The status of both species in the Mississippi River is unknown and so are habitat enhancement priorities that would benefit their recovery. Using field data collected from 2002 through 2005, we (1) estimated the adult population size of both species using mark–recapture methods and (2) quantified habitat use of these sturgeons with multiple gears to elucidate habitat enhancement priorities in the middle Mississippi River—an important fluvial corridor that connects the upper Mississippi River and Missouri River basins with the lower Mississippi River basin. Population size was estimated to be 1,516 (95% CI = 710–3,463) Pallid Sturgeon (five individuals per river kilometer [rkm]) and 82,336 (95% CI = 59,438–114,585) Shovelnose Sturgeon (266 individuals/rkm). Our population estimate showed a low relative abundance of Pallid Sturgeon in this corridor. However, the population estimate suggests Pallid Sturgeon abundance has increased since its listing in 1990. Shovelnose Sturgeon were more abundant than Pallid Sturgeon, but whether the Shovelnose Sturgeon population is increasing, decreasing, or stable remains unknown. Among 10 habitat types, both species were most frequent at the downstream ends of alluvial islands. Pallid and Shovelnose sturgeons were restricted to flow rates < 1.0 m/s, and their abundance was greatest in depths ranging from 4.5 to 14 m. We suggest alluvial island enhancement may facilitate sturgeon recovery in the middle Mississippi River. Received February 24, 2014; accepted December 2, 2015 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The spatial and seasonal occupancy by Gulf SturgeonAcipenser oxyrinchus desotoiwas estimated using acoustically tagged fish in the Pascagoula River estuary over a 3-year period (2010–2013) and was based on 131,381 detections. Juveniles spent considerably more time in the estuary than subadults or adults, but that varied by year. Gulf Sturgeon of all size-classes entered the acoustic array earlier when stream discharge was high (2011, 2012) compared with when it was lower (2010). The difference was about 14–28 d earlier for adults and subadults but only 12–17 d for juveniles. Temporally, there were no significant differences in occupancy by year or season for adults or subadults or by year for juvenile Gulf Sturgeon, suggesting repeated patterns across the 3 years of this study. Significant and consistent spatial differences in occupancy occurred by array zone, with juveniles occupying the West zone more than the East and River zones of the acoustic array; however, occupancy in the River zone was greater than in the East zone. We found similar patterns for subadults, with the highest occupancy in the West zone compared with the East zone; use was higher in the River zone than in the East zone but there was no difference between the River and West zones. In contrast, no year, season, or zone patterns were identified for adult Gulf Sturgeon, suggesting annual movement along a defined travel corridor (from the River zone to the West zone to offshore islands), with little time spent in the estuary. Adults appear to move quickly through the system during emigration (fall) and immigration (spring) compared with longer but more variable occupancy for juveniles and subadults. Our long-term data illustrates the importance of habitat connectivity in the recovery of Gulf Sturgeon and enhances earlier work on estuarine zones used during migration periods and estuarine residency; both are important for a better understanding of critical habitat maintenance and the development of a robust recovery plan.

AB - The blast performance of concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube (CFFT) bridge columns was studied through a twophase study comprised of blast and residual axial capacity experiments. Two one-fifth-scale CFFT columns and two one-fifth-scale conventional RC columns having comparable flexural capacities were subjected to distinct levels of explosive loading, causing damage but not complete failure. The blast resilience of the damaged columns was quantified by measuring the residual axial capacity of each column. The damaged CFFT columns exhibited superior strength and ductility retention compared with the damaged RC columns. Additionally, the damaged CFFT columns demonstrated a more predictable axial compressive mode of failure because the exterior FRP tube resisted the shear crack initiation observed in the damaged RC columns.

AB - Providing behavioral health care to numerous beneficiaries spread over a large and dangerous area is a unique and challenging responsibility faced by the U.S. Army in the deployed environment. We describe the use of telebehavioral health as one tool available to behavioral health officers in Afghanistan to reach remote service members when face-to-face encounters are not possible or practical. Finally, challenges to the current telebehavioral system established during Operation Enduring Freedom are discussed, with recommendations made for implementation in future deployed settings.

AB - Much attention has been paid to the potential role that climate and food security has on conflict, especially in the Middle East. However, there has been little critical examination beyond the statistical correlation of events, which demonstrates whether a causal link exists and if it does, what can be done about it. This paper explores the conceptual linkages between food and conflict and attempts to draw attention to the opportunity cost of conflict as the nexus for decision-making in this context.

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

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

AB - There has been some discussion on the subject of toxic followership, but it is as yet ill-defined and deserves further evaluation and study. The current paper examines toxic followership using Kelley's typology of followers and provides potential methods of mitigating toxic followership. Just as toxic leaders harm organizations, so too can toxic followers. They both can cause good people to leave an organization, and put the organization's survival at risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - Prevalence and patterns of dietary supplement (DS) use by U.S. Army soldiers differ from the civilian population. Longitudinal trends in use of DSs by civilians have been examined, but are unavailable in subpopulations such as military service members. The present study examined longitudinal changes in DS use by soldiers. A standardized questionnaire on DS use was administered in 2006-2007 ( N = 989) and 2010-2011 ( N = 1196) to convenience samples of active duty soldiers. Data were weighted for total population demographics of age, sex, and rank. Regular use of DSs by soldiers increased significantly (56% ± 1.6% vs. 64% ± 1.7%; p ≤ 0.001) over the 4 years primarily because of an increase of DS use among the youngest 18- to 24-year-old soldiers (43.0% ± 2.5% vs 62.3% ± 2.4%; p ≤ 0.01). Protein (22% ± 1.4% vs. 26% ± 1.5%; p ≤ 0.001) and combination (10.0% ± 1.0% vs. 24% ± 1.4%; p ≤ 0.001) product consumption also increased over the 4 years. Individual vitamin and mineral use - including iron, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A, B6, B12, and D - significantly increased as well ( p ≤ 0.05). In addition, expenditures on DSs by soldiers increased over time ( p < 0.01). Reasons reported by soldiers for DS use suggest use increased to meet the occupational demands of military service. Educational interventions to minimize inappropriate use of DSs by soldiers are necessary to reduce adverse events resulting from unnecessary use of DSs and the financial burden associated with their use.

N2 - La prévalence et les modalités d'utilisation des suppléments alimentaires (« DS ») par les soldats de l'armée américaine diffèrent de la population civile. Les tendances longitudinales d'utilisation des DS par les civils ont été scrutées; on constate cependant l'absence de données concernant les sous-populations telles que les membres du service militaire. Cette étude analyse les variations longitudinales de l'utilisation des DS par les soldats. On a soumis un questionnaire standardisé sur l'utilisation de DS à un échantillon de commodité comprenant 989 soldats en 2006-2007 et 1196 soldats en service actif en 2010-2011. Les données sont pondérées en fonction des variables démographiques de la population entière : âge, sexe et rang. L'utilisation régulière de DS par les soldats augmente significativement (56 ± 1,6 % vs 64 ± 1,7 %; p ≤ 0,001) en 4 ans surtout à cause de l'augmentation de l'utilisation des DS chez les soldats du groupe des 18-24 ans (43,0 ± 2,5 % vs 62,3 ± 2,4 %; p ≤ 0,01). La consommation de protéines et de produits combinés augmente aussi en 4 ans : 22 ± 1,4 % vs 26 ± 1,5 %; p ≤ 0,001 et 10,0 ± 1,0 % vs 24 ± 1,4 %; p ≤ 0,001, respectivement. Durant cette période, on observe aussi une augmentation significative ( p ≤ 0,05) de l'utilisation de vitamines et de minéraux : fer, magnésium, sélénium et vitamines A, B6, B12 et D. En outre, les dépenses reliées aux DS augmentent aussi ( p < 0,01). Les soldats rapportent prendre des DS pour répondre aux exigences professionnelles du service militaire. Il faut développer des interventions éducatives afin de réduire l'utilisation injustifiée des DS chez les soldats, et ce, pour diminuer les effets secondaires causés par l'utilisation inutile des DS et minimiser le fardeau financier associé à leur utilisation.

N2 - Background Initial reports suggest that treating myofascial trigger points in the infraspinatus with dry needling may be effective in treating patients with shoulder pain. However, to date, high quality clinical trials and thorough knowledge of the physiologic mechanisms involved is lacking. Objectives To examine the effect of dry needling to the infraspinatus muscle on muscle function, nociceptive sensitivity, and shoulder range of motion (ROM) in the symptomatic and asymptomatic shoulders of individuals with unilateral subacromial pain syndrome. Design Within-subjects controlled trial. Methods Fifty-seven volunteers with unilateral subacromial pain syndrome underwent one session of dry needling to bilateral infraspinatus muscles. Outcome assessments, including ultrasonic measures of infraspinatus muscle thickness, pressure algometry, shoulder internal rotation and horizontal adduction ROM, and questionnaires regarding pain and related disability were taken at baseline, immediately after dry needling, and 3–4 days later. Results Participants experienced statistically significant and clinically relevant changes in all self-report measures. Pressure pain threshold and ROM significantly increased 3–4 days, but not immediately after dry needling only in the symptomatic shoulder [Pressure pain threshold: 5.1 (2.2, 8.0) N/cm 2 , internal rotation ROM: 9.6 (5.0, 14.1) degrees, horizontal adduction ROM: 5.9 (2.5, 9.4) degrees]. No significant changes occurred in resting or contracted infraspinatus muscle thickness in either shoulder. Conclusions This study found changes in shoulder ROM and pain sensitivity, but not in muscle function, after dry needling to the infraspinatus muscle in participants with unilateral subacromial pain syndrome. These changes generally occurred 3–4 days after dry needling and only in the symptomatic shoulders. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - Particle-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) have been lauded for their potentially superior mechanical properties such as modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength. Though these materials have been synthesized using several modern solid- or liquid-phase processes, the relationships between material types, contents, processing conditions, and the resultant mechanical properties are not well understood. In this paper, we examine the yield strength of particle-reinforced MMNCs by considering individual strengthening mechanism candidates and yield strength prediction models. We first introduce several strengthening mechanisms that can account for increase in the yield strength in MMNC materials, and address the features of currently available yield strength superposition methods. We then apply these prediction models to the existing dataset of magnesium MMNCs. Through a series of quantitative analyses, it is demonstrated that grain refinement plays a significant role in determining the overall yield strength of most of the MMNCs developed to date. Also, it is found that the incorporation of the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch and modulus mismatch strengthening mechanisms will considerably overestimate the experimental yield strength. Finally, it is shown that work-hardening during post-processing of MMNCs employed by many researchers is in part responsible for improvement to the yield strength of these materials.

AB - This paper discusses the seismic retrofit of Tuttle Creek Dam near Manhattan, Kansas, including investigations, seismic analyses, design, construction, and stabilization techniques used. Original plans called for stabilization of the upstream and downstream slopes and installation of an upstream cutoff wall to reduce underseepage. However, constructability and dam safety issues, along with the results of refined seismic deformation analyses, led to cancellation of the jet grouted upstream slope stabilization and cutoff wall. Downstream slope stabilization was to be accomplished by jet grouting or soil mixing, but ultimately was accomplished using a self-hardening cement-bentonite (C-B) slurry to construct transverse shear walls. A total of 351 transverse shear walls were constructed along the downstream toe by primarily clamshell equipment. Typical shear walls are 13.7 m long, 1.2 m wide, and extend 18.9 m deep or about 6.1 m into the coarse foundation sands. The walls are spaced at 4.3 m on center along the downstream toe for a replacement ratio of about 29%. In addition to the transverse shear walls, the relief well collection ditch along the downstream toe was replaced with a buried collector system to further improve downstream stability and underseepage control.

AB - Management of natural resources in coastal ecosystems is a complex process that is made more challenging by the need for stakeholders to confront the prospect of sea level rise and a host of other environmental stressors. This situation is especially true for coastal military installations, where resource managers need to balance conflicting objectives of environmental conservation against military mission. The development of restoration plans will necessitate incorporating stakeholder preferences, and will, moreover, require compliance with applicable federal/state laws and regulations. To promote the efficient allocation of scarce resources in space and time, we develop a portfolio decision analytic (PDA) framework that integrates models yielding policy-dependent predictions for changes in land cover and species metapopulations in response to restoration plans, under different climate change scenarios. In a manner that is somewhat analogous to financial portfolios, infrastructure and natural resources are classified as human and natural assets requiring management. The predictions serve as inputs to a Multi Criteria Decision Analysis model (MCDA) that is used to measure the benefits of restoration plans, as well as to construct Pareto frontiers that represent optimal portfolio allocations of restoration actions and resources. Optimal plans allow managers to maintain or increase asset values by contrasting the overall degradation of the habitat and possible increased risk of species decline against the benefits of mission success. The optimal combination of restoration actions that emerge from the PDA framework allows decision-makers to achieve higher environmental benefits, with equal or lower costs, than those achievable by adopting the myopic prescriptions of the MCDA model. The analytic framework presented here is generalizable for the selection of optimal management plans in any ecosystem where human use of the environment conflicts with the needs of threatened and endangered species. The PDA approach demonstrates the advantages of integrated, top-down management, versus bottom-up management approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The creep behavior of a Twaron CT709® fabric/natural rubber composite under a uniaxial constant stress is studied using three viscoelasticity models with different levels of complexity and a newly developed para-rheological model. The three viscoelasticity models employed are a one-term generalized Maxwell (GMn=1) model (consisting of one Maxwell element and an additional spring in parallel), a two-term generalized Maxwell (GMn=2) model (including two parallel Maxwell elements and an additional spring in parallel), and a four-parameter Burgers model. The values of the parameters involved in each model are extracted from the experimental data obtained in this study. The numerical results show that the initial creep response of the composite is predicted fairly well by the GMn=2model, while the secondary creep is more accurately described by the GMn=1model. An implicit solution, together with a retardation time spectrum, obtained using the para-rheological model is found to provide more accurate predictions of the composite creep response than the three viscoelasticity models in both the primary and secondary stages. The long-time response of the composite is also studied using the four models, with the para-rheological model providing the best predictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper focuses on the development of simplified mathematical models of the cryosphere which may be useful in further understanding possible global climate change impacts and in further assessing future impacts captured by global circulation models (GCMs). The mathematical models developed by leveraging the dominating effects of freezing and thawing within the cryosphere to simplify the relevant heat transport equations are tractable to direct solution or numerical modeling. In this paper, the heat forcing function is assumed to be a linear transformation of temperature (assumed to be represented by proxy realizations). The output from the governing mathematical model is total ice volume of the cryosphere. The basic mathematical model provides information as a systems modeling approach that includes sufficient detail to explain ice volume given the estimation of the heat forcing function. A comparison between modeling results in the estimation of ice volume versus ice volume estimates developed from use of proxy data are shown in the demonstration problems presented.

AB - The Beck, Newman and Tuck (BNT) numerical predictions are used in the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) Channel Analysis and Design Evaluation Tool (CADET) model for predicting underkeel clearance (UKC) resulting from ship motions and squat. The Ankudinov empirical squat prediction formula has been used in the CHL ship simulator and was recently updated. The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (formerly The Permanent International Association of Navigation Congresses, PIANC) has recommended several empirical and physics-based formulas for the prediction of ship squat. Some of the most widely used formulas include those of Barrass, Eryuzlu, Huuska, ICORELS, Romisch, Tuck, and Yoshimura. The purpose of this article is to compare BNT, Ankudinov, and PIANC predictions with measured DGPS squat data from the Panama Canal for four ships. These comparisons demonstrate that the BNT, Ankudinov, and PIANC predictions fall within the range of squat measurements and can be used with confidence in deep draft channel design.

AB - To perform effectively in complex mission environments, security personnel and leaders must be flexible and adaptable in responding to rapidly changing conditions. Psychological hardiness marks resilient people who maintain their health and performance despite stressful situations. The present study evaluates psychological hardiness at entry to West Point military academy as a predictor of leader performance and adaptability over time. Predictors also included Scholastic Aptitude Test ( SAT) scores, and a composite indicator of leader potential ( Whole Candidate Score) taken from admissions records. Using the Pulakos adaptability taxonomy as a guide, adaptability performance items were taken from a survey of graduates given 3 years after graduation. Also, military leadership grades as West Point seniors provided an index of traditional military performance. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that Whole Candidate Scores predict military leader performance at West Point, but not leader adaptability after graduation. However, hardiness predicts leader performance at West Point, and also leader adaptability (self- and supervisor ratings) after graduation. SAT scores and the challenge facet of hardiness are negative predictors of leader performance at West Point. Results indicate that while the traditional measures Whole Candidate Score predicts leader performance in the stable, highly regulated environment of West Point, it does not predict leader adaptability and performance in the uncertain environment of real-world operations. In contrast, psychological hardiness (commitment and control facets) measured as academy freshmen predicts leader adaptability in officers measured 7 years later. Psychological hardiness appears to be a promising factor in promoting the development of adaptability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Weather and climate extremes have been varying and changing on many different time scales. In recent decades, heat waves have generally become more frequent across the United States, while cold waves have been decreasing. While this is in keeping with expectations in a warming climate, it turns out that decadal variations in the number of U.S. heat and cold waves do not correlate well with the observed U.S. warming during the last century. Annual peak flow data reveal that river flooding trends on the century scale do not show uniform changes across the country. While flood magnitudes in the Southwest have been decreasing, flood magnitudes in the Northeast and north-central United States have been increasing. Confounding the analysis of trends in river flooding is multiyear and even multidecadal variability likely caused by both large-scale atmospheric circulation changes and basin-scale "memory" in the form of soil moisture. Droughts also have long-term trends as well as multiyear and decadal variability. Instrumental data indicate that the Dust Bowl of the 1930s and the drought in the 1950s were the most significant twentieth-century droughts in the United States, while tree ring data indicate that the megadroughts over the twelfth century exceeded anything in the twentieth century in both spatial extent and duration. The state of knowledge of the factors that cause heat waves, cold waves, floods, and drought to change is fairly good with heat waves being the best understood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: We can describe protein-protein interactions (PPIs) as sets of distinct domain-domain interactions (DDIs) that mediate the physical interactions between proteins. Experimental data confirm that DDIs are more consistent than their corresponding PPIs, lending support to the notion that analyses of DDIs may improve our understanding of PPIs and lead to further insights into cellular function, disease, and evolution. However, currently available experimental DDI data cover only a small fraction of all existing PPIs and, in the absence of structural data, determining which particular DDI mediates any given PPI is a challenge. Results: We present two contributions to the field of domain interaction analysis. First, we introduce a novel computational strategy to merge domain annotation data from multiple databases. We show that when we merged yeast domain annotations from six annotation databases we increased the average number of domains per protein from 1.05 to 2.44, bringing it closer to the estimated average value of 3. Second, we introduce a novel computational method, parameter-dependent DDI selection (PADDS), which, given a set of PPIs, extracts a small set of domain pairs that can reconstruct the original set of protein interactions, while attempting to minimize false positives. Based on a set of PPIs from multiple organisms, our method extracted 27% more experimentally detected DDIs than existing computational approaches. Conclusions: We have provided a method to merge domain annotation data from multiple sources, ensuring large and consistent domain annotation for any given organism. Moreover, we provided a method to extract a small set of DDIs from the underlying set of PPIs and we showed that, in contrast to existing approaches, our method was not biased towards DDIs with low or high occurrence counts. Finally, we used these two methods to highlight the influence of the underlying annotation density on the characteristics of extracted DDIs. Although increased annotations greatly expanded the possible DDIs, the lack of knowledge of the true biological false positive interactions still prevents an unambiguous assignment of domain interactions responsible for all protein network interactions.

AB - Background: There is a scarcity of analytic research on active duty Army (ADA) knee injuries (K]), such as soft tissue knee injuries (STKI), which are the predominant ADA KI pattern. Purpose: To quantify the independent adjusted association of significant ADA STKI risk factors, 2000-2005. Materials/Methods: Using the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database, we (I) captured absolute STKI numbers and rates (N = 83,323)- and (2) developed regression models to determine significant STK1 risk factors. Models included STKI overall and subcategories: meniscus, patella, anterior/posterior cruciate ligament, and medial/lateral cruciate ligament. Results: Eight risk factors significantly increased STKI. They are: (I) prior KI (within 2 years) (odds ratio [OR] 9.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 9.67-10.00); (2) increasing length of service (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.76-1.90); (3) increasing age (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.50-1.65); (4) prior deployment (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.36-1.41); (5) prior ankle injury (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.14-1.19); (6) Infantry occupation (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04-1.21); (7) marital status (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.08-1.12); (8) and prior hip injury (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.12). Major Conclusion: Soldiers with a prior KI have nearly a 10-fold increased relative risk of developing a subsequent STKI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Historical shoreline and bathymetric survey data were compiled for the barrier islands and passes fronting Mississippi Sound to identify net littoral sand transport pathways, quantify the magnitude of net sand transport, and develop an operational sediment budget spanning a 90-year period. Net littoral sand transport along the islands and passes is primarily unidirectional (east-to-west). Beach erosion along the east side of each island and sand spit deposition to the west result in an average sand flux of about 400,000 cy/yr (305,000 m³/yr) throughout the barrier island system. Dog Keys Pass, located updrift of East Ship Island, is the only inlet acting as a net sediment sink. It also is the widest pass in the system (about 10 km) and has two active channels and ebb shoals. As such, a deficit of sand exists along East Ship Island. Littoral sand transport decreases rapidly along West Ship Island, where exchange of sand between islands terminates because of wave sheltering from the Chandeleur Islands and shoals at the eastern margin of the St. Bernard delta complex, Louisiana. These data were used to assist with design of a large island restoration project along Ship Island. Mississippi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Coastal Louisiana is a dynamic and ever-changing landscape. From 1956 to 2010, over 3,734 km² of Louisiana's coastal wetlands have been lost due to a combination of natural and human-induced activities. The resulting landscape constitutes a mosaic of conditions from highly deteriorated to relatively stable with intact landmasses. Understanding how and why coastal landscapes change over time is critical to restoration and rehabilitation efforts. Historically, changes in marsh pattern (i.e., size and spatial distribution of marsh landmasses and water bodies) have been distinguished using visual identification by individual researchers. Difficulties associated with this approach include subjective interpretation, uncertain reproducibility, and laborious techniques. In order to minimize these limitations, this study aims to expand existing tools and techniques via a computer-based method, which uses geospatial technologies for determining shifts in landscape patterns. Our method is based on a raster framework and uses landscape statistics to develop conditions and thresholds for a marsh classification scheme. The classification scheme incorporates land and water classified imagery and a two-part classification system: (1) ratio of water to land, and (2) configuration and connectivity of water within wetland landscapes to evaluate changes in marsh patterns. This analysis system can also be used to trace trajectories in landscape patterns through space and time.

AB - Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Pfmdr1, and Pfcrt, genes of Plasmodium falciparum may confer resistance to a number of anti-malaria drugs. Pfmdr1 86Y and haplotypes at Pfcrt 72-76 have been linked to chloroquine (CQ) as well as amodiaquine (AQ) resistance. mefloquine (MQ) and lumefantrine (LU) sensitivities are linked to Pfmdr1 86Y. Additionally, Pfcrt K76 allele carrying parasites have shown tolerance to LU. We investigated the association between Pfmdr1 86/Pfcrt 72-76 and P. falciparum resistance to CQ, AQ, MQ and LU using field samples collected during 2008–2011 from malaria endemic sites in western Kenya. Genomic DNA from these samples was genotyped to examine SNPs and haplotypes in Pfmdr1 and Pfcrt respectively. Additionally, immediate ex vivo and in vitro drug sensitivity profiles were assessed using the malaria SYBR Green I fluorescence-based assay. We observed a rapid but steady percent increase in wild-type parasites with regard to both Pfmdr1 and Pfcrt between 2008 and 2011 (p<0.0001). Equally, a significant reciprocate decrease in AQ and CQ median IC50 values occurred (p<0.0001) during the same period. Thus, the data in this study point to a significantly rapid change in parasite response to AQ and CQ in the study period. This may be due to releasing of drug pressure on the parasite from reduced use of AQ in the face of increased Artemisinin (ART) Combination Therapy (ACT) administration following the intervention of the Global Fund in 2008. LU has been shown to select for 76K genotypes, thus the observed increase in 76K genotypes coupled with significant cross resistance between LU and MQ, may herald emergence of tolerance against both drugs in future.

AB - Human mortality exhibits a strong seasonal pattern with deaths in winter far exceeding those in the summer. While the pattern itself is clear, there have been very few studies examining whether the magnitude or timing of seasonal mortality varies considerably across space. Thus, the goal of this study is to conduct a comprehensive geographic analysis of seasonal mortality across the United States and to uncover systematic regional differences in such mortality. Unique seasonal mortality curves were created for 28 metropolitan statistical areas across the United States, and the amplitude and timing of mortality peaks were determined. The findings here indicate that the seasonality of mortality exhibits strong spatial variation with the largest seasonal mortality amplitudes found in the southwestern United States and the smallest in the North, along with South Florida. In addition, there were strong intra-regional similarities that exist among the examined cities, implying that environmental factors are more important than social factors in determining seasonal mortality response. This work begins to fill a large gap within the scientific literature concerning the geographic variation and underlying causes of seasonal mortality across the United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In the future, we may be faced with the need to provide treatment for an emergent biological threat against which existing vaccines and drugs have limited efficacy or availability. To prepare for this eventuality, our objective was to use a metabolic network-based approach to rapidly identify potential drug targets and prospectively screen and validate novel small-molecule antimicrobials. Our target organism was the fully virulent Francisella tularensis subspecies tularensis Schu S4 strain, a highly infectious intracellular pathogen that is the causative agent of tularemia and is classified as a category A biological agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We proceeded with a staggered computational and experimental workflow that used a strain-specific metabolic network model, homology modeling and X-ray crystallography of protein targets, and ligand- and structure-based drug design. Selected compounds were subsequently filtered based on physiological-based pharmacokinetic modeling, and we selected a final set of 40 compounds for experimental validation of antimicrobial activity. We began screening these compounds in whole bacterial cell-based assays in biosafety level 3 facilities in the 20th week of the study and completed the screens within 12 weeks. Six compounds showed significant growth inhibition of F. tularensis, and we determined their respective minimum inhibitory concentrations and mammalian cell cytotoxicities. The most promising compound had a low molecular weight, was non-toxic, and abolished bacterial growth at 13 µM, with putative activity against pantetheine-phosphate adenylyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A, encoded by gene coaD. The novel antimicrobial compounds identified in this study serve as starting points for lead optimization, animal testing, and drug development against tularemia. Our integrated in silico/in vitro approach had an overall 15% success rate in terms of active versus tested compounds over an elapsed time period of 32 weeks, from pathogen strain identification to selection and validation of novel antimicrobial compounds.

AB - The Soft Catch Gun at Picatinny Arsenal is regularly used for component testing. Most shots contain accelerometers which record accelerations as a function of time. Statistics of accelerometer data indicate that the muzzle exit accelerations are, on average, higher than tactical firings. For that reason, Soft Catch Gun tests with unusually high accelerations may not be scored for Lot Acceptance Tests (LAT) by some customers. The 95/50 Normal Tolerance Limit (NTL) is proposed as a means of determining which test results should be scored. This paper presents comparisons of Shock Response Spectra (SRS) used for the 95/50 scoring criteria. The paper also provides a Discussion Section outlining some concerns with scoring LAT results based on test results outside of the proposed 95/50 criteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Low vitamin D status increases the risk of stress fractures. As ultraviolet (UV) light is required for vitamin D synthesis, low UV light availability is thought to increase the risk of vitamin D insufficiency and poor bone health. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if individuals with low UV intensity at their home of record (HOR) or those with darker complexions are at increased risk of developing stress fractures and lower limb fractures during U.S. Army Basic Combat Training (BCT). Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center data repository. All Basic trainees were identified from January 1997 to January 2007. Cases were recruits diagnosed with stress fractures and lower limb fractures during BCT. The recruit's home of record (HOR) was identified from the Defense Manpower Data Center database. The average annual UV intensity at the recruits' HOR was determined using a U.S National Weather Service database and recruits were stratified into low (⩽3.9); moderate (4.0-5.4), and high (⩾5.5) UV index regions. Race was determined from self-reports. Results: The dataset had 421,461 men and 90,141women. Compared to men, women had greater risk of developing stress fractures (odds ratio (OR) = 4.5, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 4.4-4.7, p < 0.01). Contrary to the hypothesized effect, male and female recruits from low UV index areas had a slightly lower risk of stress fractures (male OR (low UV/high UV) = 0.92, 95%CI = 0.87-0.97; females OR = 0.89, 95%CI = 0.84-0.95, p < 0.01) and were at similar risk for lower limb fractures (male OR = 0.98, 95%CI = 0.89-1.07; female OR = 0.93, 95%CI = 0.80-1.09) than recruits from high UV index areas. Blacks had lower risk of stress and lower limb fractures than non-blacks, and there was no indication that Blacks from low UV areas were at increased risk for bone injuries. Conclusions: The UV index at home of record is not associated with stress or lower limb fractures in BCT. These data suggest that UV intensity is not a risk factor for poor bone health in younger American adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Coastal flood-risk mapping requires the prediction of wave runup and overtopping of dikes and beaches. The cross-shore numerical model CSHORE is adjusted to predict irregular wave runup on impermeable dikes. The model is compared with 137 wave runup tests and 97 wave overtopping tests. The seaward boundary of the computation is taken at the location where wave setup is negligible. The spectral period and peak period at this boundary location are specified as input. The model predicts the measured cross-shore variation of the spectral significant wave height on the barred and sloping beaches in front of the dikes. The measured 2% and 1% exceedence runup heights are predicted within errors of about 20% for the spectral period used as input to CSHORE. The model predicts the threshold of wave overtopping, but the minor wave overtopping rates can be predicted only within a factor of 10. The model is also compared with 120 tests for wave runup on gentle uniform slopes as well as wave runup data on natural beaches in order to assess the utility of the numerical model for coastal flood-risk mapping on sand beaches.

AB - An adaptive hydraulics (AdH) model was applied to lower Knik Arm near the Port of Anchorage, Alaska, to assess its ability to model a macrotidal system with complex hydrodynamics, including the formation and evolution of numerous gyres that are prominent at this site. Lower Knik Arm is an ideal system for this model evaluation because of the large tide range (approximately 10 m at Anchorage) and complex geometry of the system, which results in high velocities and the formation of numerous eddies throughout the study area. One eddy of primary importance is the one generated by Cairn Point, which occurs near the Port of Anchorage. Limitations of previous modeling studies and the availability of recent field data enabled this evaluation. The AdH results were compared with field data (water surface elevations, fluxes, and velocities) collected in August of 2002 and 2006, and favorable comparisons obtained for tidal amplification and eddy generation indicate that AdH reasonably reproduces the complex hydrodynamic conditions in lower Knik Arm. Simulations were also performed to investigate the importance of eddy viscosity specification, frictional specification, and bathymetry on the generation/evolution of eddies present in the system. Upon completion of the model validation, simulations were performed with modified Cairn Point configurations to investigate the impact to the eddy generated at the port. These results illustrate the variation in eddy generation through lengthening, lowering/reducing, or raising Cairn Point. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A probabilistic framework is presented for evaluation of hurricane wave and surge risk with particular emphasis on real-time automated estimation for hurricanes approaching landfall. This framework has two fundamental components. The first is the development of a surrogate model for the rapid evaluation of hurricane waves, water levels, and run-up based on a small number of parameters describing each hurricane: hurricane landfall location and heading, central pressure, forward speed, and radius of maximum winds. This surrogate model is developed using a response surface methodology fed by information from hundreds of precomputed, high-resolution Simulating Waves Nearshore ( SWAN) + Advanced Circulation Model for Oceanic, Coastal and Estuarine Waters ( ADCIRC) and One-Dimensional Boussinesq Model ( BOUSS-1D) runs. For a specific set of hurricane parameters (i.e., a specific landfalling hurricane), the surrogate model is able to evaluate the maximum wave height, water level, and run-up during the storm at a cost that is more than seven orders of magnitude less than the high-fidelity models and thus meets time constraints imposed by emergency managers and decision makers. The second component of this framework is a description of the uncertainty in the parameters used to characterize the hurricane through appropriate probability models, which then leads to quantification of hurricane risk in terms of a probabilistic integral. This integral is then efficiently computed using the already established surrogate model by analyzing thousands of different scenarios (based on the aforementioned probabilistic description). This allows the rapid computation of, for example, the storm surge that might be exceeded 10% of the time based on hurricane parameters at 48 h from landfall. Finally, by leveraging the computational simplicity and efficiency of the surrogate model, a simple stand-alone PC-based risk-assessment tool is developed that allows nonexpert end users to take advantage of the full potential of the framework. The proposed framework ultimately facilitates the development of a rapid assessment tool for real-time implementation but requires a considerable upfront computational cost to produce high-fidelity model results. As an illustrative example, implementation of hurricane risk estimation for the Island of Oahu in Hawaii is presented; results demonstrate the versatility of the proposed approach for delivering accurate tools for real-time hurricane risk estimation that have the ability to cross over technology adoption barriers.

AB - Hurricanes in southeastern Louisiana develop significant surges within the lower Mississippi River. Storms with strong sustained easterly winds push water into shallow Breton Sound, overtop the river's east bank south of Pointe à la Hache, Louisiana, penetrate into the river, and are confined by levees on the west bank. The main channel's width and depth allow surge to propagate rapidly and efficiently up river. This work refines the high-resolution, unstructured mesh, wave current Simulating Waves Nearshore + Advanced Circulation () SL16 model to simulate river flow and hurricane-driven surge within the Mississippi River. A river velocity regime-based variation in bottom friction and a temporally variable riverine flow-driven radiation boundary condition are essential to accurately model these processes for high and/or time-varying flows. The coupled modeling system is validated for riverine flow stage relationships, flow distributions within the distributary systems, tides, and Hurricane Gustav (2008) riverine surges.

AB - Objective: Determine if a higher level of Army flight medic (AFM) training was associated with improved physiological state on arrival to a combat support hospital (CSH). Methods: A retrospective study comparing casualties who were evacuated by two AFM units with only Emergency Medical Technicians-Basic (EMT-Bs) to an Army National Guard unit with Critical Care Flight Paramedics (CCFPs) in Afghanistan with an injury severity score >16 in different time periods looking at their 48-hour mortality, hematocrit (HCT), base deficit (BD), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and physiological parameters on arrival to the CSH. Results: The CCFP group had better HCT [36.5 (8.8)] than the EMT-B group [33.1 (11.4); p ≤ 0.001]. BD and SpO2 were better in the CCFP group [-3.2 (4.7)]/[97.8 (4.8)] than the EMT-B group [-4.4 (5.5)]/[96.3 (10.9)] [p ≤ 0.014]. The CCFP group had a 72% lower estimated risk ratio of mortality with an associated improvement in 48-hour survivability of 4.9% versus 15.8% for the EMT-B-group. Conclusions: There is a statistically significant improvement in the HCT, BD, SpO2,and 48-hour survivability at the CSH in the cohort transported by the CCFP group when compared to the cohort transported by the EMT-B group.

AB - Previous studies have not reported activities associated with injuries in initial entry training (IET) because these data were seldom available in medical records and not contained in electronic databases. This investigation obtained activities associated with outpatient encounters in IET recorded by primary medical care providers at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Data were entered into a standard database that included fields for diagnosis and activity associated with the injury. Fifty percent of the new injury encounters (i.e., exclusive of follow-ups) were not associated with a specific event but were reported as having a gradual onset. Other activities included physical training (16%), road marching (15%), confidence/obstacle courses (5%), and barracks activities (3%). Risks per unit of training time were estimated at 13, 62, and 97 injuries per hour for physical training, road marching, and the confidence/obstacle courses, respectively. The most frequently recorded diagnoses were joint pain (27%), strains (15%), blisters (14%), sprains (13%), and tendonitis (12%). The types of injuries and their anatomical locations were similar to those reported in other IET investigations, although blister-related encounters were higher. This investigation identifies activities with the highest risk of injury in IET and those that should be targeted for injury prevention efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Lassa virus (LASV) is a significant human pathogen that is endemic to several countries in West Africa. Infection with LASV leads to the development of hemorrhagic fever in a significant number of cases, and it is estimated that thousands die each year from the disease. Little is known about the complex immune mechanisms governing the response to LASV or the genetic determinants of susceptibility and resistance to infection. In the study presented here, we have used a wholegenome, microarray-based approach to determine the temporal host response in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of non-human primates (NHP) following aerosol exposure to LASV. Sequential sampling over the entire disease course showed that there are strong transcriptional changes of the immune response to LASV exposure, including the early induction of interferon-responsive genes and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. However, this increase in early innate responses was coupled with a lack of pro-inflammatory cytokine response in LASV exposed NHPs. There was a distinct lack of cytokines such as IL1β and IL23α, while immunosuppressive cytokines such as IL27 and IL6 were upregulated. Comparison of IRF/STAT1-stimulated gene expression with the viral load in LASV exposed NHPs suggests that mRNA expression significantly precedes viremia, and thus might be used for early diagnostics of the disease. Our results provide a transcriptomic survey of the circulating immune response to hemorrhagic LASV exposure and provide a foundation for biomarker identification to allow clinical diagnosis of LASV infection through analysis of the host response.

AB - New technologies often have the potential for disrupting existing established practices, but nowhere is this so pertinent as in education and training today. And yet, education has been glacially slow to adopt these changes in a large scale way, and innovations seem to be imposed mainly by students' and their changing social lifestyles than by policy. Will this change? Leadership is sorely needed. Education needs to become more modular and move out of the classroom into informal settings, homes, and especially the internet. Nationwide certifications based on these modules would permit technology to enter education more rapidly. Smaller nations may be more flexible in making these very disruptive changes.

AB - This matched single-blind pilot study tested the effect of Transcendental Meditation® (TM) practice on symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS) in Congolese refugees. Urban refugees ( N = 102) staying around Kampala, Uganda attended introductory meetings. After initial random assignment to the TM group, 30 refugees who revealed that they were unable to attend all meetings and were eliminated from the study. The remaining 21 TM group participants were then instructed in TM and matched with refugees in the control group on age, sex, and baseline scores on the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian (PCL-C). All participants completed the PCL-C measure of PTS symptoms at baseline, and 30-day and 135-day posttests. The PCL-C scores in the control group trended upward. In contrast, the PCL-C scores in the TM group went from 65 on average at baseline indicating severe PTS symptoms to below 30 on average after 30 days of TM practice, and remained low at 135 days. Effect size was high ( d > 1.0). Compliance with TM practice was good; most reported regular practice throughout the study. There were no adverse events. All refugees who learned TM completed the study and were able to practice TM successfully, with subsequent substantial reduction in PTS symptoms. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the current multihazard loading environments when future blast loadings are included. While most of the currently available software programs for the physical testing of normal design loading conditions have been validated, the testing does not include the blast environment. It has not been determined whether these programs can be used when blast loads are included. Currently, designers use multiple software packages to perform multihazard analyses when blast loads are involved, making it difficult to compare the results. This analysis has as major topics air-blast and structural responses. The three standard air-blast codes used are ConWep, BlastX, and SBEDS, and the four structural response codes used are SBEDS, STAAD, ADINA, and DYNA3D. All analyses are compared against a test series that loaded standard open web steel joist sections dynamically with an air-blast load. This paper compares the output and results of each program against the test results to determine if the software is comparable in an effort to simplify the multihazard analysis process.

AB - An improved steel sheet pile (SSP) inspection procedure is proposed in this paper, which couples the field inspection condition-index methodology previously developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with reliability assessments to quantify the life-cycle costs and environmental impacts associated with various maintenance and repair (M&R) scenarios. Maintenance and repair strategies over the analysis period (from present to the end of the structure's lifetime) are determined through reliability assessment for structures with relatively low condition indices. The level of maintenance activity is then to be determined by the life-cycle cost analysis and environmental life-cycle assessment of M&R alternatives. The optimal M&R alternative is the one with the lowest cost combined with minimal environmental impact. Using these methodologies, the SSP structure owners will gain improved capabilities to monitor present-day conditions of SSP infrastructure and prioritize structures that will require sustainable M&R. Further research is proposed to collect real field-inspection data and create M&R records that can be used to estimate the reliability more accurately. In addition, the methodology developed for this relatively simple type of structure can be extended to more complex and critical structural systems such as gates, valves, and other components making up locks, dams, and other related navigational facilities.

AB - Estimated number of shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus impacted annually by towboat entrainment in navigation pools of the Upper Mississippi River were compared against estimates of fishery harvest and ambient population densities to evaluate the relevance of entrainment at the population level. Mean number of sturgeon entrained per kilometer of navigation was estimated at 0.02, and mean number entrained annually considering towboat traffic was estimated at 0.38 sturgeon/ha. Losses associated with entrainment were mostly lower than fishery harvest, although differences were not large. The two sources of mortality combined could potentially reduce the mature adult population to a level where it no longer has the reproductive capacity to replenish itself. Thus, through a combination of entrainment and fishing mortality shovelnose sturgeon may be looming near unsustainable population levels. These estimates are preliminary considering the many uncertainties associated with quantifying entrainment and its effects. Additional research is needed not only to derive better estimates, but also to develop options for managing entrainment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Wind tunnel measurements of the rotor trim, blade airloads, and structural loads of a full-scale UH-60A Black Hawk main rotor are compared with calculations obtained using the comprehensive rotorcraft analysis CAMRAD II and a coupled CAMRAD II/OVERFLOW2 analysis. A speed sweep at constant lift up to an advance ratio of 0.4 and a thrust sweep at constant speed into deep stall are investigated. The coupled analysis shows significant improvement over comprehensive analysis. Normal force phase is better captured for all the test conditions examined. Pitching moment is better predicted, including the magnitude and phase of the two stall events in the fourth quadrant at the deeply stalled condition. Structural loads are, in general, improved with the coupled analysis, but the magnitude of chord bending moment is still significantly underpredicted. As there are three modes around 4 and 5/rev frequencies, the structural responses to the 5/rev airloads due to dynamic stall are magnified and thus accurate analysis of the deeply stalled condition is challenging.

AB - We develop and test a model linking ethical leadership with unit ethical culture, both across and within organizational levels, examining how both leadership and culture relate to ethical cognitions and behaviors of lower-level followers. The data were collected from 2,572 U.S. Army soldiers representing three organizational levels deployed in combat. Findings provide limited support for simple trickle-down mechanisms of ethical leadership but broader support for a multilevel model that takes into account how leaders embed shared understandings through their influence on the ethical culture of units at various levels, which in turn influence followers' ethical cognitions and behavior. The influences of ethical leadership occur not only directly, among immediate followers within a unit, but also indirectly, across hierarchical levels, through the cascading of ethical culture and senior leaders' influences on subordinate leader behavior. We discuss scholarly and practical implications for understanding how leaders transmit ethical influence both down and across large organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A recent theoretical proposal is that relational identification generalizes to organizational identification through affective, cognitive, and behavioral mediating mechanisms. The generalization process is strengthened when a relational other is prototypical-that is, is seen as promoting core organizational values. We investigate these propositions via two field studies. First, we find, via temporally lagged data from 186 newcomers to the telemarketing industry, that relational identification with a supervisor generalizes to organizational identification through affective (i.e., affect transfer), cognitive (i.e., social influence), and behavioral (i.e., behavioral "sensemaking") mediating mechanisms. Second, we find, via temporally lagged data from 1,101 newcomers to the U.S. Army, that a newcomer's relational identification with his/her supervisor generalizes to the newcomer's organizational identification, but only when the supervisor is perceived to be prototypical. Our combined findings suggest that (1) multiple identifications are more integrative than exclusive and (2) organizational membership may be more personalized and relational than previously assumed in extant research.

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

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

AB - Windbreaks are valuable resources in conserving soils and providing crop protection in Great Plains states in the US. Currently, Kansas has no up-to date inventory of windbreaks. The goal of this project was to assist foresters with future windbreak renovation planning and reporting, by outlining a series of semi-automated digital image processing methods that rapidly identify windbreak locations. There were two specific objectives of this research. First, to develop semi-automated methods to identify the location of windbreaks in Kansas, this can be applied to other regions in Kansas and the Great Plains. We used a remote sensing technique known as object-based image analysis (OBIA) to classify windbreaks visible in the color aerial imagery of National Agriculture Imagery Program. We also combined GIS techniques and field survey to complement OBIA in generating windbreak inventory. The techniques successfully located more than 4500, windbreaks covering an approximate area of 2500, hectares in 14 Kansas counties. The second purpose of this research is to determine how well the results of the automated classification schemes match with other available windbreak data and the selected sample collected in the field. The overall accuracy of OBIA method was 58.97 %. OBIA combined with 'heads up' digitizing and field survey method yielded better result in identifying and locating windbreaks in the studied counties with overall accuracy of 96 %.

AB - During recent decades, rotary-wing aircraft (helicopters) within the U.S. Department of Defense (e.g., U.S Army and U.S. Air Force) have been deployed overseas to conduct a variety of noncombat and combat missions. Our objective was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of wildlife (birds, bats, insects) strikes with U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force rotarywing aircraft during overseas deployments. We acquired all available wildlife strike information involving U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force military rotary-wing aircraft engaged in flight operations associated with U.S. military bases around the world during 1990 to 2011. Wildlife strikes with military rotary-wing aircraft occurred in >31 foreign countries. Almost two-thirds of wildlife strikes to U.S. Army aircraft occurred during deployments in the Middle East (e.g., Iraq), whereas, strikes to U.S. Air Force aircraft occurred most frequently in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Month, time of day, and location (i.e., on airfield or off airfield) influenced the frequency of wildlife strikes. Wildlife strikes occurred most frequently when aircraft were traveling en route or were engaged in terrain flight. Larks, doves, pigeons, and various perching birds were the species most frequently struck by military aircraft. Wildlife strike records related to U.S. military overseas operations represent a unique source of ornithological information from areas of military conflict. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Barotrauma caused by rapid decompression during hydroturbine (turbine) passage may occur as fish move through the low pressure region below the turbine runner. This scenario is of particular concern in North American rivers with populations of ESA-listed salmon. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory released Sensor Fish into lower Snake and Columbia River turbines to determine the magnitude and rate of pressure change fish might experience. Recorded pressures were applied to simulated turbine passage (STP) in laboratory studies to determine the effect of rapid decompression on juvenile Chinook salmon. These STP studies have increased our understanding of how pressure effects fish passing through turbines and suggest that the ratio of pressure change [acclimation pressure (the depth upstream of the dam where fish are neutrally buoyant) divided by nadir pressure (lowest pressure)] is highly predictive in determining the effect on smolt survival. However, uncertainty remains in smolt acclimation depth prior to entering turbine intakes at hydroelectric facilities. The USACE continues to make progress on salmon survival and recovery efforts through continued research and by applying pressure study results to turbine design. Designing new turbines with higher nadir pressure criteria is likely to provide safer fish passage for all salmonid species experiencing turbine passage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - One thousand late-fall run Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) hatchery reared smolts were fitted with ultrasonic coded tags over a two-year period (in 2009 and 2010) and released in the Sacramento River. We tracked their outmigration movements from Benicia Bridge to the Golden Gate. Smolts transited the Bay rapidly in 2 to 4 days, yet also made repeated upstream movements, coinciding with incoming tidal flows. Most smolts were detected in deep, channelized portions of the Bay. Some smolts were detected at nearshore, shallow sites such as marinas, or up tributaries, yet these fish generally returned to the main channel and continued their outmigration. The results suggest that the smolts perceive little benefit to remaining in estuarine waters, and therefore actively attempt to reach the ocean in as short a time as possible, rather than being transported passively by flows.

AB - ABSTRACT Mechanistic models have been proposed for soil piping and internal erosion on well-compacted levees and dams, but limited research has evaluated these models in less compacted (more erodible) soils typical of hillslopes and streambanks. This study utilized a soil box (50 cm long, 50 cm wide and 20 cm tall) to conduct constant-head, soil pipe and internal erosion experiments for two soils (clay loam from Dry Creek and sandy loam from Cow Creek streambanks) packed at uniform bulk densities. Initial gravimetric moisture contents prior to packing were 10, 12 and 14% for Dry Creek soil and 8, 12, and 14% for Cow Creek soil. A 1-cm diameter rod was placed horizontally along the length of the soil bed during packing and carefully removed after packing to create a continuous soil pipe. A constant head was maintained at the inflow end. Flow rates and sediment concentrations were measured from the pipe outlet. Replicate submerged jet erosion tests (JETs) were conducted to derive erodibility parameters for repacked samples at the same moisture contents. Flow rates from the box experiments were used to calibrate the mechanistic model. The influence of the initial moisture content was apparent, with some pipes (8% moisture content) expanding so fast that limited data was collected. The mechanistic model was able to estimate equivalent flow rates to those observed in the experiments, but had difficulty matching observed sediment concentrations when the pipes rapidly expanded. The JETs predicted similar erodibility coefficients compared to the mechanistic model for the more erodible cases but not for the less erodible cases (14% moisture content). Improved models are needed that better define the changing soil pipe cross-section during supply- and transport-limited internal erosion, especially for piping through lower compacted (more erodible) soils as opposed to more well-compacted soils resulting from constructing levees and dams.

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

AB - The purpose of this study was to identify the presence or absence of pathogenic bacteria on burn intensive care unit employees' common access cards (CACs) and identity badges (IDs) and to identify possible variables that may increase risk for the presence of those bacteria. A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in our regional Burn Center in which bacterial swab specimens were collected from both the CAC and ID of 10 burn intensive care unit employees in each of five cohorts (nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, physicians, and ancillary staff). Ten additional paired samples, collected from direct care staff in the outpatient burn clinic, served as control. Additional information described how the cards were worn and if/how they had been cleaned in the previous week. Fifty-eight CACs and 60 IDs were swabbed from participants. The overall contamination rate was 75%, with no trends identified based on how cards were worn. Bacteria were recovered from 86% (50/58) of CACs and 65% (39/60) of IDs, with CACs being significantly more contaminated overall than IDs (P < .01). In terms of potentially pathogenic bacteria, the overall rate was 3%, with 100% of those isolates coming from the outpatient clinic staff cohort (P < .001). When cleaned in the last week (n = 16), the contamination rate dropped to 50% overall (P = .003), indicating that even periodic cleaning appears to have a positive effect on bacterial contamination rates. The simple practice of routine identity card decontamination may reduce potential threats to patient safety as a result of nosocomial bacterial transmission.

AB - Purpose: To describe the short-term clinical outcomes of glenoid bone block augmentation in a high-demand population, as well as to describe its clinical success and complications at greater than 2 years' follow-up in an at-risk military population.Methods: All patients undergoing anterior capsulorrhaphy with coracoid process transfer or anterior bone block augmentation (Current Procedural Terminology code 23662 or 23460) for shoulder instability between 2006 and 2012 were isolated from the Military Health System Management Analysis and Reporting Tool. Demographic and occupational parameters were identified, and multiple surgical factors and clinical outcomes were extracted from the medical record and US Defense Manpower Data Center.Results: A total of 64 service members (65 shoulders) underwent anterior bone block procedures, including coracoid transfer (n = 59, 90.8%), distal tibial allograft (n = 3, 4.6%), and autologous or allograft iliac crest bone graft (n = 3, 4.6%). This group was predominately comprised of men (n = 59), and the mean age was 25.9 years (range, 19 to 45 years). A total of 19 perioperative complications, including 8 neurologic injuries, 6 infections, and 4 hardware failures, occurred in 16 patients (25%). At a mean 2.4-year follow-up, 21 patients (32.8%) reported persistent shoulder pain and 15 patients (23.4%) disclosed subjective apprehension or recurrent instability. Secondary surgical procedures were performed in 12 patients (18.8%), including 4 revisions (6.3%). Ultimately, 20 patients (31.3%) underwent a medical discharge for persistent shoulder disability. Univariate analysis showed that the presence of a perioperative complication (P = .049) and tobacco use (P = .038) were associated with increased risk of subsequent surgical failure.Conclusions: Anterior glenoid bone block procedures for shoulder instability with concomitant bone loss enable a return to high-demand physical function. The short-term complication profile (25%), recurrence rate (23%), and persistence of shoulder pain (33%) should be emphasized during preoperative counseling, particularly in an active military population and revision setting. Although moderately successful in the military, anterior bone block procedures for complex shoulder instability can be associated with significant short-term complications and morbidity.Level Of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic case series.

AB - This study examined whether blood fatty acid levels, vitamin D status, and/or physical activity are associated with physical fitness scores; a measure of mood, Patient Health Questionnaire-9; and a measure of resiliency, Dispositional Resiliency Scale-15 in active duty Soldiers. 100 active duty males at Fort Hood, Texas, underwent a battery of psychometric tests, anthropometric measurements, and fitness tests, and they also provided fasting blood samples for fatty acid and vitamin D analysis. Pearson bivariate correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among psychometric tests, anthropometric measurements, physical performance, reported physical inactivity (sitting time), and fatty acid and vitamin D blood levels. On the basis of these findings, a regression equation was developed to predict a depressed mood status as determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The equation accurately predicted depressed mood status in 80% of our participants with a sensitivity of 76.9% and a specificity of 80.5%. Results indicate that the use of a regression equation may be helpful in identifying Soldiers at higher risk for mental health issues. Future studies should evaluate the impact of exercise and diet as a means of improving resiliency and reducing depressed mood in Soldiers.

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

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

AB - Background: There is a paucity of literature describing the accuracy of musculoskeletal injury reporting in the U.S. Army.Purpose: To investigate symptom-management behaviors as well as factors associated with seeking medical treatment among active duty Soldiers who reported that they had concealed at least one musculoskeletal injury.Methods: Anonymous surveys were completed by Soldiers (N = 1,388; 1,269 males, 74 females, and 45 no response) assigned to an Infantry Brigade Combat Team. Soldiers were asked to self-report injuries sustained in the last 12 months and whether or not they reported those injuries to a medical provider. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze treatment alternatives. Chi-square test was used to assess any significant relationships between injury and various demographics.Results: There were 808 (58%) Soldiers who stated they had an injury that they did not report. Over-the-counter pain relief medication (81%) was the most commonly selected alternative treatment.Conclusion: Over-the-counter pain medication was frequently used for symptom management among Soldiers who did not report their injury to a medical provider.

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

AB - The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries among Soldiers of the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division. A total of 451 subjects (age: 27.6 ± 6.2 years, gender: males 395/451 = 87.6%) volunteered. Musculoskeletal injury data were extracted from subjects' medical charts and injuries that occurred during 1 year were described. Injury frequency, injury anatomic location and sublocation, injury cause, activity when injury occurred, and injury type were described. Injury frequency was 29.5 injuries per 100 subjects per year. Most injures affected the lower extremity (60.2% of injuries) and common anatomic sublocations for injuries were the ankle (17.3%) and knee (15.0%). Frequent causes of injuries were running (13.5%) and direct trauma (9.0%). Physical training was associated with 29.3% of the injuries. A majority of injuries were classified as pain/spasm/ache (29.3%), without further elucidation of pathology. Other frequent injury types were sprain (21.8%) and strain (14.3%). The descriptive epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in this population underscores the need to explore the modifiable risk factors of potentially preventable lower extremity injuries associated with physical training and running. There is scope for the development of an optimized and targeted physical training program for injury prevention in this population.

AB - Objective: Identifying Department of Defense (DoD) occupations affected by injuries to the head and sensory systems.Methods: We explored the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database to identify occupations with the highest incidence of injured personnel, then ranked how frequently they occurred in a top 10 list for each of four injury categories (head/brain, visual, auditory, vestibular) encompassing 25 injury codes. Across all four categories, the most affected occupations were identified, among which we chose three Army combat-related military occupational specialties (MOSs) for detailed study. We identified skills needed to perform these MOSs and explored whether MOS-critical deficits could be expected following the injuries.Results: Some DoD occupations are more likely to suffer from these injuries, including Infantry, Combat Operations Control, Artillery/Gunnery, Motor Vehicle Operator, Combat Engineering, and Armor/Amphibious. Within these DoD occupations, we explored three Army combatant MOSs: Infantry (11B), Cavalry Scout (19D), and Artillery (13B), confirming that these jobs are likely to be disrupted by injuries within the four categories.Conclusions: Head and sensory injuries disproportionately affect certain military occupations. Relatively few injuries disrupt combat-related abilities that are job critical (e.g., firearms operation) and job specific (e.g., Artillery gunnery problems); these should be the focus of efforts to improve rehabilitation and RTD outcomes.

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

AB - Fluid resuscitation is the foundation of management in burn patients and is the topic of considerable research. One adjunct in burn resuscitation is continuous, high-dose vitamin C (ascorbic acid) infusion, which may reduce fluid requirements and thus decrease the risk for over resuscitation. Research in preclinical studies and clinical trials has shown continuous infusions of high-dose vitamin C to be beneficial with decrease in resuscitative volumes and limited adverse effects. However, high-dose and low-dose vitamin C supplementation has been shown to cause secondary calcium oxalate nephropathy, worsen acute kidney injury, and delay renal recovery in non-burn patients. To the best of our knowledge, the authors present the first case series in burn patients in whom calcium oxalate nephropathy has been identified after high-dose vitamin C therapy.

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

AB - African-Americans in the U.S. military encompass at least two distinct identity groups: a racial status associated with lower support for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a military status which tends to be more 'hawkish' in perspective. This study examines the intersection of these two status characteristics utilizing survey data of American military academy cadets, Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) cadets, and civilian students ( n = 5,051). Majorities of military cadets, regardless of race, supported both of these wars more than their civilian counterparts, but African-Americans are significantly less supportive of the wars relative to their peers within each group. African-American cadets support both wars less so than whites and cadets of other races, but African-American cadets supported both wars more than African-American civilians. It appears that racial and military affiliations combine to yield a unique perspective on war, adapting elements of both statuses. These findings support the concept of intersectionality.

AB - Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) is the practice of treating the partners of patients with sexually transmitted infections by providing medications for the patient to deliver to his or her sexual partner (s) without direct clinical assessment of the partner(s). EPT is an evidence-based option that can augment existing partner management strategies. For military health care providers, questions still loom as to the pragmatic medical, legal, and ethical uncertainties of EPT use in military populations. These issues, in addition to the absence of an explicit Department of Defense EPT policy may dissuade military clinicians from fully employing EPT to prevent reinfection and inhibit additional disease transmission in their patients. To advance the notion that EPT could not only be an efficient but also a vital measure to decrease the high sexually transmitted disease burden, this report highlights existing approaches utilized by military providers to treat partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea, benefits of using EPT in military populations, and specific challenges of implementing an EPT program. This report asserts that now is the time to “push the conversation” on the use of EPT as a viable choice for military providers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - To the Editor: In their study, van Griensven et al. (Jan. 7 issue)(1) found no significant survival benefit of using convalescent plasma with unknown levels of neutralizing antibodies in patients with Ebola virus disease (EVD). Survivors of EVD donated plasma anywhere from 2 months to 6 months or more after they had recovered. Substantial immune activation and robust B-cell and T-cell responses have been observed in patients with acute EVD and in some patients during convalescence,(2) although humoral response has not been thoroughly studied in EVD. We have found that in convalescent patients, specific neutralizing activity against Ebola virus glycoprotein . . . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Metamorphic heterostructures containing bulk InAs1-xSbx layers and AlInAsSb barriers were grown on GaSb substrates. The lattice mismatch (up to 2.1%) between the GaSb substrates and the InAsSb layers was accommodated by the growth of GaInSb linearly graded buffers. The 1 μm thick InAsSb0.44 layer with an absorption edge above 9 μm exhibited an in-plane residual strain of about 0.08%. InAs1-xSbx structures with x = 0.2 and x = 0.44 operated as light emitting diodes at 80 K demonstrated output powers of 90 μW and 8 μW at 5 μm and 8 μm, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The feasibility of using a microalga Chlorella vulgaris YSW-04 was investigated for removal of nutrients from piggery wastewater effluent. The consequent lipid production by the microalga was also identified and quantitatively determined. The wastewater effluent was diluted to different concentrations ranging from 20 to 80 % of the original using either synthetic media or distilled water. The dilution effect on both lipid production and nutrient removal was evaluated, and growth rate of C. vulgaris was also monitored. Dilution of the wastewater effluent improved microalgal growth, lipid productivity, and nutrient removal. The growth rate of C. vulgaris was increased with decreased concentration of piggery wastewater in the culture media regardless of the diluent type. Lipid production was relatively higher when using synthetic media than using distilled water for dilution of wastewater. The composition of fatty acids accumulated in microalgal biomass was dependent upon both dilution ratio and diluent type. The microalga grown on a 20 % concentration of wastewater effluent diluted with distilled water was more promising for generating high-efficient biodiesel compared to the other culture conditions. The highest removal of inorganic nutrients was also achieved at the same dilution condition. Our results revealed the optimal pretreatment condition for the biodegradation of piggery wastewater with microalgae for subsequent production of high-efficient biodiesel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We assessed if the qualitative and quantitative aspects of plankton composition in reservoirs of the middle Missouri River were influenced by hydrologic variability. Phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in six reservoirs of this highly regulated system were sampled between 2004 and 2011 during historic drought, subsequent recovery, and a 100-year flood event. The reservoir system encompasses a broad latitudinal gradient of decreasing depth, decreasing water residence time and increasing trophic state. Phytoplankton communities of the upper three reservoirs were co-dominated by planktonic and meroplanktonic diatoms during the drought, recovery, and flood periods, but the proportion of more silicified meroplanktonic diatoms increased in the lower three reservoirs as water residence time decreased. Peak phytoplankton biovolume usually occurred during spring/early summer and was associated with increased hydrologic inflows and outflows. Zooplankton biomass of the reservoir system was dominated by Daphnia spp., but all zooplankton groups decreased as inflows and outflows accelerated during the recovery and flood periods. Rotifer abundances were higher under turbulent conditions associated with dam operations. Canonical correlation analyses suggested that temperature, water residence time, station depth, and water clarity explained more variance in the structures of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities than bioavailable nutrient parameters.

AB - Since the end of the Cold War, there has been a transformation of security in Latin America. Latin American countries have been moving toward the concepts of multidimensional security and security of the individual and society, and away from the classical understanding of the security dilemma posed by an external threat to the state. Illegal narcotics, the proliferation of guns, and other transnational threats, combined with undergoverned space and the weak state syndrome, generated an extraordinary crime wave, which gives the region the highest murder rate in the world. Moreover, crime imposes a heavy cost on economic growth and democratic governance. This insecurity crosses international borders, and the institutions of public security--police, military, and judicial systems-- are hard pressed to meet the challenge. The privatization of security is a symptom of the problem and a potential source of abuse. The United States shares responsibility for the violence due to U.S. demand for illegal drugs and the fact that it is a supplier of arms to Latin America. At the same time, there is a growing consensus in support of common action, as evidenced by the international coalition that is operating under Operation Martillo--the antinarcotics effort in the Caribbean and Central America. Moreover, a number of Latin American countries contribute to international peace operations. Accordingly, the new strategic consensus among Latin American countries should be a cause for common action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) cosponsored a workshop that explored the possible benefits of acupuncture treatment for acute pain. One goal of the workshop was to establish a roadmap to building an evidence base on that would indicate whether acupuncture is helpful for treating active-duty military personnel experiencing acute pain. The workshop highlighted brief presentations on the most current research on acupuncture and acute pain mechanisms. The impact of various modifiers (stress, genetics, population, phenotypes, etc.) on acute pain pathways and response to acupuncture treatment was discussed. Additional presentations focused on common neural mechanisms, an overview of real-world experience with using acupuncture to treat traumatic acute pain, and best tools and methods specific for acupuncture studies. Three breakout groups addressed the gaps, opportunities, and barriers to acupuncture use for acute pain in military and trauma settings. Different models of effectiveness research and optimal research designs for conducting trials in acute traumatic pain were also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A firn air cooling system that utilized the natural reservoir of cool air at depth in polar ice sheets was tested at Summit Station, Greenland during the summer of 2010. Cooling is required on station to meet the requirements for food safety and scientific core storage. Firn air cooling is a potential replacement for traditional mechanical cooling systems. The system design, installation, and results of several experiments are presented. The system cooled a enclosed, insulated structure from to using a 10-m borehole and a fan pumping the naturally cool air. The system was easy to install in a short time frame and was low cost from an equipment and operating perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We sampled stocked Salvelinus namaycush (Lake Trout) in Watauga Lake and South Holston Lake, TN using experimental gill nets in 2009-2010 to describe their growth, longevity, and condition. Annuli in sagittal otoliths formed once a year in early spring in both reservoirs. South Holston Lake (n = 99 Lake Trout) has been stocked since 2006, and the oldest fish was age 4. Watauga Lake has been stocked since the mid-1980s, and we collected 158 Lake Trout up to age 20. Annual mortality for age-3 and older fish in Watauga Lake was 24%. When compared to Lake Trout in northern lakes, Tennessee Lake Trout exhibited average to above-average growth and longevity. Condition of Lake Trout in both reservoirs varied seasonally and tended to be lowest in fall, but rebounded in winter and spring. Lake Trout in both reservoirs appeared to be spatially segregated from pelagic prey fishes during summer stratification, but growth rates and body condition were high enough to suggest that neither system was being overstocked.

AB - Spinal cord injury (SCI) often affects a person's ability to perform critical activities of daily living and can negatively affect his or her quality of life. Assistive technology aims to bridge this gap in order to augment function and increase independence. It is critical to involve consumers in the design and evaluation process as new technologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are developed. In a survey study of 57 veterans with SCI participating in the 2010 National Veterans Wheelchair Games, we found that restoration of bladder and bowel control, walking, and arm and hand function (tetraplegia only) were all high priorities for improving quality of life. Many of the participants had not used or heard of some currently available technologies designed to improve function or the ability to interact with their environment. The majority of participants in this study were interested in using a BCI, particularly for controlling functional electrical stimulation to restore lost function. Independent operation was considered to be the most important design criteria. Interestingly, many participants reported that they would consider surgery to implant a BCI even though noninvasiveness was a high-priority design requirement. This survey demonstrates the interest of individuals with SCI in receiving and contributing to the design of BCIs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A method is presented to consistently tie future mean sea level rise (MSLR) scenario projections to local geodetic and tidal datums. This extends the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) guidance for incorporating the effects of future MSLR into coastal projects. While USACE relies on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 19-year National Tidal Datum Epoch (NTDE) for its datum relationships, the approach proposed herein generalizes this guidance by choosing the appropriate 19-year epoch centered on the start year of the MSLR scenario under consideration. The procedure takes into account the local annual sea level variability, which confounds the matching to any given single year while generalizing and preserving the 19-year averaging long used by NOAA to calculate the NTDE. Examples of the MSLR scenario matching procedure are given using actual data and projections for La Jolla, California, and Sewells Point (Hampton Roads), Virginia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sea-level rise (SLR) estimates vary broadly, but most estimates predict significant increases in sea levels within the next century. Through the use of validated, coupled wave and hydrodynamic models, this study investigates SLR effects on storm surge and nearshore waves, including variation with coastal landscape type and storm characteristics. Both the wave and hydrodynamic models account for bottom friction based on land-use type, so the modeling procedure accounted for SLR-related changes to land cover, in addition to higher mean sea levels. Simulation of storms with similar meteorological characteristics and track but with landfall in the northeastern and southwestern coastal areas allowed examination of how the coastal features influenced the storm surge and wave response to increased sea levels. The simulation results analyzed here demonstrate that the relationship between storm surge and relative SLR (RSLR) varies between geographic region and storm scenario. The increase in an inundated area is linear in the north, and in the south, the inundated area approaches the northern values for similar storms asymptotically. Nearshore wave results indicate, as expected, that larger water depths created by positive RSLR and amplified surge allow larger waves to propagate into inland areas. For the Texas simulations, it was found that an increase in hurricane wind speeds of 25% is approximately equivalent to a RSLR of 0.5 m in terms of increased area of inundation impact. Because of the complexities of storm-surge dependency on storm strength, track, and local topography, there is no one-size-fits-all response to RSLR descriptive of all locations. Site-specific computer modeling should be used to evaluate the risk facing coastal communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Personal protection measures against biting arthropods include topical insect repellents, area repellents, insecticide-treated bednets and treated clothing. The literature on the effectiveness of personal protection products against arthropods is mainly limited to studies of prevention of bites, rather than prevention of disease. Tungiasis was successfully controlled by application of topical repellents and scrub typhus was reduced through the use of treated clothing. Successful reduction of leishmaniasis was achieved through the use of topical repellents, treated bednets and treated clothing in individual studies. Malaria has been reduced by the use of insecticide-treated bednets (ITN), certain campaigns involving topical repellents, and the combination of treated bednets and topical repellents. Although area repellents such as mosquito coils are used extensively, their ability to protect humans from vector-transmitted pathogens has not been proven. Taken together, the literature indicates that personal protection measures must be used correctly to be effective. A study that showed successful control of malaria by combining treated bednets and topical repellents suggests that combinations of personal protection measures are likely to be more effective than single methods. Implementation of successful programmes based on personal protection will require a level of cooperation commonly associated with other basic societal functions, such as education and food safety.

AB - Aim This article presents a discussion of development of a mid-range theory of risk perception. Background Unhealthy behaviours contribute to the development of health inequalities worldwide. The link between perceived risk and successful health behaviour change is inconclusive, particularly in vulnerable populations. This may be attributed to inattention to culture. Data sources The synthesis strategy of theory building guided the process using three methods: (1) a systematic review of literature published between 2000-2011 targeting perceived risk in vulnerable populations; (2) qualitative and (3) quantitative data from a study of Samoan Pacific Islanders at high risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Discussion Main concepts of this theory include risk attention, appraisal processes, cognition, and affect. Overarching these concepts is health-world view: cultural ways of knowing, beliefs, values, images, and ideas. This theory proposes the following: (1) risk attention varies based on knowledge of the health risk in the context of health-world views; (2) risk appraisals are influenced by affect, health-world views, cultural customs, and protocols that intersect with the health risk; (3) strength of cultural beliefs, values, and images (cultural identity) mediate risk attention and risk appraisal influencing the likelihood that persons will engage in health-promoting behaviours that may contradict cultural customs/protocols. Implications Interventions guided by a culturally sensitive mid-range theory may improve behaviour-related health inequalities in vulnerable populations. Conclusions The synthesis strategy is an intensive process for developing a culturally sensitive mid-range theory. Testing of the theory will ascertain its usefulness for reducing health inequalities in vulnerable groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Grain growth and microstructural evolution of thermally stabilized FeNiZr were investigated by in situ and ex situ studies. Our investigations suggest that the microstructural evolution is fairly slow and the microstructure shows stabilization up to about 700 °C. Above this temperature, a certain fraction of grains grow abnormally into the nanocrystalline matrix, resulting in a bimodal microstructure and causing the complete loss of thermal stability. The reason for abnormal grain growth and the loss of thermal stability is identified as the appearance of the fcc γ-phase and consequent reduction in the total area of grain boundaries and the overall stored energy.

AB - We utilize a mixed methods approach to provide three new, separate analyses as part of the development of the next aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC) platform of the Future of Vertical Lift (FVL) program. The research questions follow: RQ!) What are the optimal capabilities of a FVL MEDEVAC platform given an Afghanistan-like scenario and parameters associated with the treatment/ground evacuation capabilities in that theater?; RQ2) What are the MEDEVAC trade-off considerations associated with different aircraft engines operating under variable conditions?; RQ3) How does the additional weight of weaponizing the current MEDEVAC fleet affect range, coverage radius, and response time? We address RQ1 using discrete-event simulation based partially on qualitative assessments from the field, while RQ2 and RQ3 are based on deterministic analysis. Our results confirm previous findings that travel speeds in excess of 250 knots and ranges in excess of 300 nautical miles are advisable for the FVL platform design, thereby reducing the medical footprint in stability operations. We recommend a specific course of action regarding a potential engine bridging strategy based on deterministic analysis of endurance and altitude, and we suggest that the weaponization of the FVL MEDEVAC aircraft will have an adverse effect on coverage capability.

AB - Soldiers granted enlistment waivers for medical concerns, misconduct, or positive alcohol/drug tests may or may not be associated with an increased likelihood of negative behavioral outcomes. Soldiers in the population examined (n = 8,943) who were granted enlistment waivers from 2003 to 2008 were significantly more likely to subsequently be screened for alcohol/substance abuse, test positive for illicit substances, or receive an Army separation for behavioral misconduct. These associations were highest among Soldiers granted waivers for nonlawful alcohol/drug violations. Soldiers granted waivers for felony offenses and serious nontraffic violations were significantly less likely to separate from the Army compared with Soldiers not granted enlistment waivers.

AB - Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), a principal injury of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, can result in significant morbidity. To make accurate return-to-duty decisions for soldiers with mTBI, military medical personnel require sensitive, objective, and duty-relevant data to characterize subtle cognitive and sensorimotor injury sequelae. A military-civilian research team reviewed existing literature and obtained input from stakeholders, end users, and experts to specify the concept and develop a preliminary assessment protocol to address this need. Results of the literature review suggested the potential utility of a test based on dual-task and multitask assessment methods. Thirty-three individuals representing a variety of military and civilian stakeholders/experts participated in interviews. Interview data suggested that reliability/validity, clinical feasibility, usability across treatment facilities, military face validity, and capacity to challenge mission-critical mTBI vulnerabilities were important to ultimate adoption. The research team developed the Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance, a tool composed of eight dual and multitasking test- tasks. A concept test session with 10 subjects indicated preliminary face validity and informed modifications to scoring and design. Further validation is needed. The Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance may fill a gap identified by stakeholders for complex cognitive/motor testing to assist return-to-duty decisions for service members with mTBI.

AB - We present an approach for diameter control of vertically aligned ZnO nanowires (NWs) grown directly on copper substrates. Vapor-solid growth was done at 550 °C with solid Zn precursor under Ar/O2 flow, and the resulting nanowires with in situ-controllable diameters ranged between 50 to 500 nm. The nanowires were observed to elongate in tip growth and diameters were directly controlled by varying the oxygen concentration. Direct growth of vertical wires on metal substrates is expected to be useful to construct piezoelectric devices and applications involving sensors and detectors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical compatibility of model soil-bentonite backfills containing multiswellable bentonite (MSB) relative to that of similar backfills containing untreated sodium (Na) bentonite or a commercially available, contaminant-resistant bentonite (SW101). Flexible-wall tests were conducted on consolidated backfill specimens () containing clean sand and 4.5-5.7% bentonite (by dry weight) using tap water and calcium chloride (CaCl2) solutions (10-1,000 mM) as the permeant liquids. Final values of hydraulic conductivity () and intrinsic permeability () to the CaCl2 solutions were determined after achieving both short-term termination criteria as defined by ASTM D5084 and long-term termination criteria for chemical equilibrium between the influent and effluent. Specimens containing MSB exhibited the smallest increases in and upon permeation with a given CaCl2 solution relative to specimens containing untreated Na bentonite or SW101. However, none of the specimens exhibited more than a fivefold increase in or , regardless of CaCl2 concentration or bentonite type. Final values for specimens permeated with a given CaCl2 solution after permeation with tap water were similar to those for specimens of the same backfill permeated with only the CaCl2 solution, indicating that the order of permeation had no significant effect on . Also, final values for all specimens were within a factor of two of the measured after achieving the ASTM D5084 termination criteria. Thus, use of only the ASTM D5084 criteria would have been sufficient to obtain reasonable estimates of long-term hydraulic conductivity for the specimens in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped RNA virus that causes hemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates. Infection requires internalization from the cell surface and trafficking to a late endocytic compartment, where viral fusion occurs, providing a conduit for the viral genome to enter the cytoplasm and initiate replication. In a concurrent study, we identified clomiphene as a potent inhibitor of EBOV entry. Here, we screened eleven inhibitors that target the same biosynthetic pathway as clomiphene. From this screen we identified six compounds, including U18666A, that block EBOV infection (IC50 1.6 to 8.0 µM) at a late stage of entry. Intriguingly, all six are cationic amphiphiles that share additional chemical features. U18666A induces phenotypes, including cholesterol accumulation in endosomes, associated with defects in Niemann–Pick C1 protein (NPC1), a late endosomal and lysosomal protein required for EBOV entry. We tested and found that all six EBOV entry inhibitors from our screen induced cholesterol accumulation. We further showed that higher concentrations of cationic amphiphiles are required to inhibit EBOV entry into cells that overexpress NPC1 than parental cells, supporting the contention that they inhibit EBOV entry in an NPC1-dependent manner. A previously reported inhibitor, compound 3.47, inhibits EBOV entry by blocking binding of the EBOV glycoprotein to NPC1. None of the cationic amphiphiles tested had this effect. Hence, multiple cationic amphiphiles (including several FDA approved agents) inhibit EBOV entry in an NPC1-dependent fashion, but by a mechanism distinct from that of compound 3.47. Our findings suggest that there are minimally two ways of perturbing NPC1-dependent pathways that can block EBOV entry, increasing the attractiveness of NPC1 as an anti-filoviral therapeutic target.

AB - Previous work has demonstrated the feasibility of in vivo biodiesel synthesis in Escherichia coli, however, ethyl ester formation was dependent on an external fatty acid feedstock. In contrast to E. coli, actinomycetes may be ideal organisms for direct biodiesel synthesis because of their capacity to synthesize high levels of triacylglcerides (TAGs). In this study, we investigated the physiology and associated TAG accumulation along with the in vivo ability to catalyze ester formation from exogenous short chain alcohol sources in Gordonia sp. KTR9, a strain that possesses a large number of genes dedicated to fatty acid and lipid biosynthesis. Total lipid fatty acids content increased by 75 % and TAG content increased by 50 % under nitrogen starvation conditions in strain KTR9. Strain KTR9 tolerated the exogenous addition of up to 4 % methanol, 4 % ethanol and 2 % propanol in the media. Increasing alcohol concentrations resulted in a decrease in the degree of saturation of recovered fatty acid alcohol esters and a slight increase in the fatty acid chain length. A linear dose dependency in fatty alcohol ester synthesis was observed in the presence of 0.5-2 % methanol and ethanol compared to control KTR9 strains grown in the absence of alcohols. An inspection of the KTR9 genome revealed the presence of several putative wax ester synthase/acyl-coenzyme A : diacylglycerol acyltransferase (WS/DGAT) enzymes, encoded by atf gene homologs, that may catalyze the in vivo synthesis of fatty acid esters from short chain alcohols. Collectively, these results indicate that Gordonia sp. KTR9 may be a suitable actinomycete host strain for in vivo biodiesel synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We examined morale as a moderator of the relationship between combat exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in a longitudinal study of U.S. soldiers who had participated in a deployment to Iraq. Soldiers ( N = 636) completed assessments at 4 (Time 1) and 10 (Time 2) months following their combat deployment. Combat exposure (both breadth and perceived stressfulness), morale, and PTSD symptoms were assessed at Time 1, and PTSD symptoms were assessed again at Time 2. Results of multivariate multiple regressions revealed that morale at Time 1 interacted with both the breadth and stressfulness of combat exposure to predict PTSD symptoms at both Time 1 and Time 2, even when partialling out the effect of unit support. The slope of the given combat exposure and PTSD symptoms relationship was weaker when reports of morale were higher (with the effect size of the interaction ranging from .01 to .04). The results suggest that morale may buffer soldiers from the negative consequences of combat stressors. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this work, nanoindentation and nanoscratching experiments are combined with atomic force microscopy to investigate the relationships between contact geometry, apparent friction, and deformation modes of two grades of Kevlar (Dupont) fiber-Kevlar KM2 and Kevlar 49. Changes in the relative angle between the scratching probe and the fiber surface, often termed as the attack angle, result in changes in deformation mode, which correlate with the changes in the apparent friction. As attack angle increases, the observed deformation modes of the fiber surface change from a smoothing of the surface, often termed as ironing, to fibrillation, in which the fibrils break and coalesce in front of the progressing probe. A mixture of these two modes occurs at intermediate attack angles. When fibrillation occurs, material pile-up forms in front of the progressing probe. This pile-up introduces an additional component to the frictional response that is largely responsible for an increase in apparent friction with an increasing attack angle and/or scratch length. The level of friction associated with fibrillation is measured to be up to approximately three times higher than previously reported for Kevlar yarn-yarn friction. Fibrillation of Kevlar KM2 occurs at larger attack angles as compared to Kevlar 49, which is believed to be related to a near-surface region of reduced modulus and hardness previously observed in KM2 fibers. A detailed discussion of the measured response is given based on the interactions between the scratching probe and the fibrillar network and the resulting deformation mechanisms.

AB - This article describes the medical planning process whereby combat stress and mental health clinicians were placed at Forward Operating Bases in southern and western Afghanistan during a period of intensive surge operations in 2009-2010. The distribution plan for the Combat Stress Control teams was based on previously published guidance on ratios of combat stress personnel to troop end-strength, population at-risk data, and kinetic activity associated with current and future combat operations. The article concludes with outcome data that validates the distribution decisions made through the planning process. Through dissemination of this information, it is hoped that future planners and clinicians can improve the processes involved in providing combat stress and mental health services to forward-deployed troops.

AB - Understanding space-use patterns of freshwater turtle hatchlings is critical to guide conservation efforts, yet little is known because of the difficulties in studying this early life-history stage. We investigated post-emergence movements and habitat associations of western pond turtles (Actinemys marmorata) at two study sites in western Oregon using micro- transmitters and harmonic radar methods. Hatchlings delayed emergence until spring, with few exceptions. Hatchlings typically remained within 2 m of nests for as long as 59 d after initial emergence. During migration from their nests to aquatic habitat, hatchlings embedded themselves in soil for up to 22 d at stop-over sites. Movements between successive stop-over sites averaged 27 m. Although the number of days turtles remained within 2 m of their nest following emergence varied widely among and within nests, hatchlings entered aquatic habitat relatively synchronously. Hatchlings entered aquatic habitat on average 49 d after initial emergence, and traveled an average of 89 m from their nest site. Hatchlings detected in water were always within 1 m of shore and in areas with dense submerged vegetation and woody debris. Because of delayed emergence and extended post-emergent use of the area adjacent to nests, managers must consider the trade-offs of managing vegetation for nest habitat and the potential harm to hatchlings by vegetation management near nests.

AB - Large river ecology has evolved through time, from perceiving rivers as big streams to accepting rivers as spatiotemporally diverse and complex ecosystems spanning terrestrial, aquatic, and socio-political realms. This review summarizes past and present concepts in large river ecology and highlights uncertainties facing the science and management of large rivers, and provides examples of tools (river restoration and adaptive management) that may be used to continue the advancement of large river ecology into the future. We need to ask, “Where do we go from here?” and, “How do we get there?” The science, management, and policy of large rivers are inseparable and decisions formulated by river stakeholders today will inevitably shape how rivers are studied and managed into the future.

AB - Standard Vietnam War narratives often argue that the U.S. Army lost the war because it failed to learn and adapt to the conditions of an unconventional conflict. Based on a reappraisal of learning processes rather than on the outcome of the war, this essay argues that as an organization, the U.S. Army did learn and adapt in Vietnam; however, that learning was not sufficient, in itself, to preserve a South Vietnam in the throes of a powerful nationalist upheaval. A reexamination of the Army's strategic approach, operational experiences, and organizational changes reveals that significant learning did occur during the Vietnam War despite the conflict's final result.

AB - The potential risk and effects of storm-surge damage caused by the combination of hurricane-force waves, tides, and relative sea-level-rise (RSLR) scenarios were examined at the U.S. Naval Station, Norfolk, Virginia. A hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling system validated with measured water levels from Hurricane Isabel was used to simulate two synthesized storms representing 50-year and 100-year return-period hurricanes, a northeaster, and five future RSLR scenarios to evaluate the combined impacts of inundation on this military installation in the lower Chesapeake Bay. The naval base topography and nearshore water body of Hampton Roads were included in the coastal modeling system (CMS), a suite of surge, circulation, wave, sediment transport, and morphology evolution models. The modeling domain was a rectangular area covering the entire Naval Station Norfolk in the Hampton Roads and the mouths of the James and Elizabeth rivers. A variable-resolution grid system was created with a finer resolution of 10 m in the naval base and a coarser resolution of 300 m in the regions away from the base. The boundary-forcing conditions to the CMS were regional storm surge produced by the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC),and wave conditions by the Simulating WAve Nearshore (SWAN) model. The CMS calculated the local water-surface elevation and storm-surge inundation for combined RSLR, surge, waves, and wind. Results indicate that synthetic storms would cause extensive inundation of coastal land around the naval base. Approximately 60% of the land would be under water with the 100-year storm for the present sea level, and 80% for estimated RSLR of 2 m. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of intravenous fluids for volume replacement during hemorrhagic shock is controversial, but it is currently the standard of care. In the far-forward environment, large volume resuscitation for massive bleeding is a great challenge. Crystalloid and colloid solutions add weight and bulk to the medic's kit, require temperature sensitive storage, and should be warmed before infusion to prevent hypothermia. Excessive use of these solutions causes a dilutional coagulopathy, acidosis, and potentially increased inflammatory injury compared with blood products. Type-specific whole blood from an uninjured combat companion on the other hand is almost always available. It is warm, replaces intravascular volume, and provides oxygen delivery and hemostatic capacity to prevent or treat shock and coagulopathy. Whole blood may be ideal for the resuscitation of combat casualties with hemorrhagic shock. BFF program pilot studies on use of platelet-sparing leukoreduction filters, whole blood transport tolerance, donor performance, and autologous reinfusion of 24-hour ambient temperature stored whole blood have been performed and suggest the feasibility of expanding whole blood use in resuscitation. If successful, the BFF program will change tactics, techniques, and procedures with a new lifesaving capability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background In Afghanistan, a substantial portion of resuscitative combat surgery is performed by US Army forward surgical teams ( FSTs). Red blood cells ( RBCs) and fresh frozen plasma ( FFP) are available at these facilities, but platelets are not. FST personnel frequently encounter high-acuity patient scenarios without the ability to transfuse platelets. An analysis of the use of fresh whole blood ( FWB) at FSTs therefore allows for an evaluation of outcomes associated with this practice. Study Design and Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in prospectively collected data from all transfused patients at six FSTs from December 2005 to December 2010. Univariate analysis was performed, followed by two separate propensity score analyses. In-hospital mortality was predicted with the use of a conditional logistic regression model that incorporated these propensity scores. Subset analysis included evaluation of patients who received uncrossmatched Type O FWB compared with those who received type-specific FWB. Results A total of 488 patients received a blood transfusion. There were no significant differences in age, sex, or Glasgow Coma Scale in those who received or did not receive FWB. Injury Severity Scores were higher in patients transfused FWB. In our adjusted analyses, patients who received RBCs and FFP with FWB had improved survival compared with those who received RBCs and FFP without FWB. Of 94 FWB recipients, 46 FWB recipients (49%) were given uncrossmatched Type O FWB, while 48 recipients (51%) received type-specific FWB. There was no significant difference in mortality between patients that received uncrossmatched Type O and type-specific FWB. Conclusions The use of FWB in austere combat environments appears to be safe and is independently associated with improved survival to discharge when compared with resuscitation with RBCs and FFP alone. Mortality was similar for patients transfused uncrossmatched Type O compared with ABO type-specific FWB in an austere setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper presents an experimental study of two full-scale steel beam-column assemblies, each comprising three columns and two beams, to (1) define their response characteristics under a column-removal scenario, including the capacity of the beams and their connections to carry loads through catenary action, and (2) provide experimental data for validation of beam-to-column connection models for assessing the robustness of structural systems. The assemblies represent portions of the exterior moment-resisting frames of two 10-story steel-frame buildings. One test specimen had welded unreinforced flange, bolted web connections, and the other had reduced beam-section connections. When subjected to monotonically increasing vertical displacement of the unsupported center column, both specimens exhibited an initial elastic response dominated by flexure. With increased vertical displacement, the connections yielded, and axial tension developed in the beams. The axial tension in the beams increased until the connections failed under combined bending and axial stresses. The test results show that the rotational capacities of both connections under monotonic column displacement are about twice as large as those based on seismic-test data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Influenza B viruses can cause morbidity and mortality in humans but due to the lack of an animal reservoir are not associated with pandemics. Because of this, there is relatively limited genetic sequences available for influenza B viruses, especially from developing countries. Complete genome analysis of one influenza B virus and several gene segments of other influenza B viruses isolated from Uganda from May 2009 through December 2010 was therefore undertaken in this study. Methods: Samples were collected from patients showing influenza like illness and screened for influenza A and B by PCR. Influenza B viruses were isolated on Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cells and selected isolates were subsequently sequenced and analyzed phylogenetically. Findings: Of the 2,089 samples collected during the period, 292 were positive by PCR for influenza A or B; 12.3% of the PCR positives were influenza B. Thirty influenza B viruses were recovered and of these 25 that grew well consistently on subculture were subjected to further analysis. All the isolates belonged to the B/Victoria-lineage as identified by hemagglutination inhibition assay and genetic analysis except one isolate that grouped with the B-Yamagata-lineage. The Ugandan B/Victoria-lineage isolates grouped in clade 1 which was defined by the N75K, N165K and S172P substitutions in hemagglutinin (HA) protein clustered together with the B/Brisbane/60/2008 vaccine strain. The Yamagata-like Ugandan strain, B/Uganda/MUWRP-053/2009, clustered with clade 3 Yamagata viruses such as B/Bangladesh/3333/2007 which is characterized by S150I and N166Y substitutions in HA. Conclusion: In general there was limited variation among the Ugandan isolates but they were interestingly closer to viruses from West and North Africa than from neighboring Kenya. Our isolates closely matched the World Health Organization recommended vaccines for the seasons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Recent interest in bio-inspired materials has led to the development of techniques that can be used to synthesize hierarchical structures with controlled morphology and mineralogy. One such technique investigated in this study consists of the use of electromigration and electrodeposition techniques to deposit mineral phases with controlled morphology and mineralogy by infilling a predefined porous templates. Here, the utility of precipitating various polymorphs of calcium carbonate in three-dimensional templates is demonstrated. Applied potentials and times were varied while scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to determine polymorph formed and its morphology. It was found that higher applied potentials and shorter operating times resulted in the formation of metastable polymorphs of calcium carbonate (e.g., vaterite) that infilled the porous media. Results provide insights for developing bio-inspired composite materials for various structural and medical applications, such as synthetic bone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The article discusses the internment of U.S. airmen in neutral states during World War II. According to the author, many neutral states secretly released U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) personnel who sought asylum after their aircraft were damaged, despite being obligated by treaty to intern them for the duration of the conflict. It is suggested that Switzerland's permanent status of neutrality resulted in its consisted internment of U.S. airmen, while other states were influenced to release internees by political pressure and by the costs associated with interning belligerents. Details on USAAF personnel interned in Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and the Soviet Union are presented.

AB - Robust host innate immune response to staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) and structurally related superantigens causes toxic shock and various autoimmune diseases. While proinflammatory cytokines are known for mediating SEB-induced toxicity, the role of complement C5a in SEB-mediated shock is less well-understood. An ELISA was developed to measure the complement activation product, C5a, in different murine models of toxic shock. This assay provides easy, quantifiable data for complement activation and its role in various SEB-induced toxic shock models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objective To describe the patient population, injuries, and treatment received on the battlefield, and ultimate outcome of U. S. military working dogs that incurred gunshot wound ( GSW) injury in Operation Enduring Freedom ( Afghanistan) or Operation Iraqi Freedom ( Iraq). Design Retrospective study between January 2003 and December 2009. Animals Twenty-nine military working dogs from the U. S. military with confirmed GSW injuries incurred in combat in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. Interventions None. Measurements and Main Results Clinical data from battlefield treatment, which includes care from the point of injury through arrival to, but not including, a designated veterinary treatment facility. Twenty-nine dogs were injured between 2003 and 2009. All but one of the injuries were from high caliber, high velocity weapons. Of the 29 injured dogs, 11 survived the injuries and 18 died (38% survival rate). Of the dogs that died, all but 1 died from catastrophic nonsurvivable injuries before treatment or evacuation could be instituted. The thorax was the most common site of injury (50%) followed by extremity wounds (46%). The leading cause of death from GSWs was from thoracic wounds, followed by head wounds. Dogs with extremity wounds as their only injury were most likely to survive, and dogs with multiple injuries were least likely to survive. All surviving dogs received treatment at the point of injury by military medics and dog handlers consistent with Tactical Combat Casualty Care guidelines for combat injuries in human service members. Of the 11 that survived, all dogs returned to full duty with subsequent deployment to combat zones. Location of wounds and injury severity at the time of presentation to veterinary care was not correlated with length of time until return to duty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article provides information on the use of Traumatic Event Management (TEM) strategies to debrief combat arms personnel whose units sustained traumatic losses in Afghanistan. The specific focus is on the application of Event-Driven Battlemind Psychological Debriefings to combat units. This article offers the first published account of TEM services employed in southern Afghanistan during intensive surge operations in 2009-2010. This article unfolds in three parts: (1) background to the region in which the debriefings occurred; (2) three case examples with a data of types of incidents observed; and (3) discussion of observations, lessons learned, and recommendations for training future clinicians to provide effective debriefings to combat arms personnel.

AB - The U.S. Army is seeking to produce safer, less sensitive munitions through the addition of two new energetics, 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and -methyl paranitro aniline (MNA), to the munitions' formula. Production of these munitions would add them to the waste stream. The use of an anaerobic fluidized-bed bioreactor (AFBB) was studied for treating these compounds in a simulated wastewater with ethanol as the electron donor. The reactor degraded both of the compounds to below detection limits over a wide range of ethanol concentrations. The degradation was found to be a transformation into secondary products for both energetics: diaminoanisole (for DNAN) and -methyl--phenylenediamine (for MNA). Both of these by-products reacted upon exposure to air, forming azobond dimers. Potassium perchlorate was added to the feed stream to test if additional energetics would disrupt the transformation. The AFBB continued transformation and was able to remove the perchlorate after a two week acclimation period. The AFBB was an effective treatment method for DNAN and MNA, but further study is required to investigate the transformation products more thoroughly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Flight tests with a German Army Sikorsky CH-53 Ghelicopter were performed to evaluate the applicability and repeatability of the U.S. Army's Aeronautical Design Standard (ADS)-33E-PRF cargo helicopter handling qualities requirements. The objectives were to corroborate earlier findings and to propose modifications if deemed necessary. The CH-53G was chosen because it is the largest helicopter operated by the German Army, and its dedicated role is cargo and troop transport. The quantitative criteria and the associated boundaries as specified in the standard were largely confirmed. Several flight test maneuvers were revised and tailored. Generally, the heights for performing the near-earth maneuvers were increased. The time/tolerances experienced were borderline desired/adequate or adequate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We present a molecular-level simulation study of the effects of confinement on chemical reaction equilibrium in nanoporous materials. We use the reaction ensemble Monte Carlo (RxMC) method to investigate the effects of temperature, nanopore size, bulk pressure, and capillary condensation on the nitric oxide dimerization reaction in a model carbon slit nanopore in equilibrium with a bulk reservoir. In addition to the RxMC simulations, we also utilize the molecular-dynamics method to determine self-diffusion coefficients for confined nonreactive mixtures of nitric oxide monomers and dimers at compositions obtained from the RxMC simulations. We analyze the effects of the temperature, nanopore width, bulk pressure, and capillary condensation on the reaction equilibrium with respect to the reaction conversion, fluid structure, and self-diffusion coefficients. We show that the influence of the temperature, nanopore size, and capillary condensation on the confined reaction equilibrium is quite dramatic while the effect of the bulk pressure on the reaction equilibrium in the carbon slit nanopore is only moderate. This work is an extension of previous work by Turner et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 114, 1851 (2001)] on the confined reactive nitric oxide system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - High-throughput field-effect transistors (FETs) containing over 300 disentangled, high-purity chemical-vapor-deposition-grown single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) channels have been fabricated in a three-step process that creates more than 160 individually addressable devices on a single silicon chip. This scheme gives a 96% device yield with output currents averaging 5.4 mA and reaching up to 17 mA at a 300 mV bias. Entirely semiconducting FETs are easily realized by a high current selective destruction of metallic tubes. The excellent dispersity and nearly-defect-free quality of the SWNT channels make these devices also useful for nanoscale chemical and biological sensor applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The shock behavior of two varieties of the ceramic silicon carbide was investigated through a series of time-resolved plate impact experiments reaching stresses of over 140 GPa. The Hugoniot data obtained are consistent for the two varieties tested as well as with most data from the literature. Through the use of reshock and release configurations, reloading and unloading responses for the material were found. Analysis of these responses provides a measure of the ceramic’s strength behavior as quantified by the shear stress and the strength in the Hugoniot state. While previous strength measurements were limited to stresses of 20–25 GPa, measurements were made to 105 GPa in the current study. The initial unloading response is found to be elastic to stresses as high as 105 GPa, the level at which a solid-to-solid phase transformation is observed. While the unloading response lies significantly below the Hugoniot, the reloading response essentially follows it. This differs significantly from previous results for B4C and Al2O3. The strength of the material increases by about 50% at stresses of 50–75 GPa before falling off somewhat as the phase transformation is approached. Thus, the strength behavior of SiC in planar impact experiments could be characterized as metal-like in character. The previously reported phase transformation at ∼105 GPa was readily detected by the reshock technique, but it initially eluded detection with traditional shock experiments. This illustrates the utility of the reshock technique for identifying phase transformations. The transformation in SiC was found to occur at about 104 GPa with an associated volume change of about 9%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 films with a thickness of 200 nm were deposited on Pt–Si substrates at 400 and 700 °C. Room-temperature tunability was measured and found to improve with deposition temperature, but losses also increased. The dielectric constant, tunability, and loss tangent are found to be 350, 52%, and 0.07 at 300 kV/cm for the 700 °C deposition. The film grown at 700 °C has a larger grain size, leading to approximately 5% higher tunability compared to the film deposited at 400 °C. Supporting theoretical calculations were carried out using a modified Landau-Devonshire thermodynamic formalism that takes into account the internal stresses that arise from the differences of coefficients of thermal expansion between the film and the substrate.

AB - Optical and electronic properties of mid-ultraviolet light emitting diodes with a two-step p-AlGaN region are measured at temperatures from 8 to 300 K. While the electroluminescence intensity increases down to a temperature lower than that reported in InGaN light emitting diodes (LEDs), there is still a collapse at cryogenic temperatures. Capacitance-voltage measurements across the same range of temperatures reveal an increasing depletion region with decreasing temperature indicating that hole injection is a significant factor in the temperature dependent behavior, as well as the cause of electroluminescence collapse.

AB - Following Hugo Grotius, a distinction is developed between private and public war. It is argued that, contrary to how most contemporary critics of the moral equality of combatants construe it, the just war tradition has defended the possibility of the moral equality of combatants as an entailment of the justifiability of public war. It is shown that contemporary critics of the moral equality of combatants are denying the possibility of public war and, in most cases, offering a conception of just war as exclusively private war. The work of Jeff McMahan is used to exemplify this. Against these contemporary critics, it is argued that the reasons McMahan and others offer against the possibility of the moral equality of combatants undermine not only public war but also the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority. The conclusion is drawn that defenders of the moral equality of combatants must defend the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority over war while critics of the moral equality of combatants must either (1) reject the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority altogether, or, less radically, (2) deny the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority over war.

AB - The flavonoid quercetin is purported to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study examined if quercetin supplementation attenuates indicators of exercise-induced muscle damage in a double-blind laboratory study. Thirty healthy subjects were randomized to quercetin (QU) or placebo (PL) supplementation and performed 2 separate sessions of 24 eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors. Muscle strength, soreness, resting arm angle, upper arm swelling, serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, plasma quercetin (PQ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed before and for 5 d after exercise. Subjects then ingested nutrition bars containing 1,000 mg/d QU or PL for 7 d before and 5 d after the second exercise session, using the opposite arm. PQ reached 202 ± 52 ng/ml after 7 d of supplementation and remained elevated during the 5-d postexercise recovery period (p < .05). Subjects experienced strength loss (peak = 47%), muscle soreness (peak = 39 ± 6 mm), reduced arm angle (-7° ± 1°), CK elevations (peak = 3,307 ± 1,481 U/L), and arm swelling (peak = 11 ± 2 mm; p < .0001), indicating muscle damage and inflammation; however, differences between treatments were not detected. Eccentric exercise did not alter plasma IL-6 (peak = 1.9 pg/ml) or CRP (peak = 1.6 mg/L) relative to baseline or by treatment. QU supplementation had no effect on markers of muscle damage or inflammation after eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Purpose: To examine relationships between changes in body weight, body composition, and fitness level in male students of the general population and those in the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program during the freshman year of college. Methods: Thirty-seven (18.4 ± 0.7 yr) healthy, nonsmoking, first-semester-resident male students were divided into 3 groups: low active (LA), high active (HA), and ROTC. Baseline (beginning of freshman year) and 6-month follow-up measurements included anthropometry, body composition (by DXA), 3-day food records, and physical activity (PA) assessment. Results: Weight and body-mass index did not change significantly within or among groups. HA participants compared with LA and ROTC had a significant decrease in body fat (-1.6% ± 2.5% vs. 1.9% ± 1.2% and 0.8% ± 2.2%, respectively). They also had a significant increase in lean mass compared with LA and ROTC (1.8 ± 1.1 kg vs. -0.2 ± 2.0 kg and 0.2 ± 1.7 kg, respectively). All p values were <.05. ROTC and LA participants were similar in all measures of body composition and PA and had significantly lower PA levels than the HA group. No significant relationships were observed between dietary variables and body-composition changes. Conclusions: These results suggest that higher PA was the most powerful determinant in achieving favorable body-composition outcomes. In addition, current physical training conducted by ROTC at Florida State University (which seems to be a practice nationwide) might not be sufficient to offset gains in body fat.

AB - One of the most widely used methods for investment assessment is the internal rate of return (IRR) that is based on the discounted cash flow analysis. Furthermore, the quantitative risk analysis technique is commonly used during the project's initial stage, simply by weighting the financial performance with the incurred risks. Herein, we introduce a decision support algorithm for environmental project evaluation and we focus on its application to solid waste management projects. The proposed algorithm includes some basic steps that should be followed by decision-makers, in order to evaluate a project's options. Specifically, different probability distributions are assigned to all variables that influence the options’ IRRs and Monte Carlo simulation is enforced to compute their expected IRR values. The algorithm presented here can be a useful tool to risk-neutral decision-makers, as it helps them to evaluate an environmental project's options and to select the one with the greatest expected profits.

AB - The prevalence of oculomotor dysfunctions associated with blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in warfighters has increased as a consequence of recent conflicts. This study evaluated the effectiveness of computerized oculomotor vision screening (COVS) in a military population. Oculomotor functions were assessed with COVS and by conventional methods in 20 U.S. military personnel with and 20 without mTBI. The validity of COVS was determined by Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman method or the kappa coefficient. The repeatability of the COVS was assessed with the coefficient of repeatability or the kappa coefficient. The results showed that COVS had high sensitivity and specificity for screening near oculomotor functions. Overall, the COVS showed excellent validity and repeatability for assessing near lateral and vertical phorias, Worth 4 Dot, and fixation, as well as pursuit and saccadic eye movements. Despite the strong Pearson correlation, the Bland-Altman analysis identified minor to moderate discrepancies for both positive and negative fusional vergence and their associated recovery as well as for the monocular accommodative facility measurements. This study demonstrated that non-eye-care professionals may be able to use the COVS as a tool to efficiently screen oculomotor functions in a military population with or without mTBI.

AB - This pilot evaluated a novel method of primary care delivery in a military family practice setting. A registered nurse, registered nurse case manager, and primary care provider formed the patient management team. Approximately 2,500 empanelled patients participated in a pilot program that applied a patient-centered approach to primary care. The pilot tracked outcome measures, which included (1) panel size, (2) access to care, (3) care utilization, (4) continuity of care, (5) nurse and provider productivity, (6) Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set measures, and (7) satisfaction measures. When compared to the standard family practice clinic, the patients in the pilot were able to access the family practice clinic more frequently (p < 0.05), were less seen in the urgent care (p < 0.05), and had a lower no-show rate (p < 0.001) for scheduled appointments. The providers were able to see their own empanelled patients significantly more frequently (p < 0.05) and virtually all Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set markers improved with colon cancer screening, low-density lipoprotein annual exams, low-density lipoprotein control, and breast cancer screening/mammogram being significantly improved over the comparison group (p < 0.05). These results suggest a change in staffing and a focus on patient-centered care can significantly improve outpatient care access and population health maintenance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study investigated the role of peer mentoring and voluntary self-development activities (i.e., capitalization) in anchoring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics students to their college majors. Online data were collected from 214 undergraduate students. As hypothesized, mentoring was positively related to capitalization, and both mentoring and capitalization were positively related to satisfaction with one's major, affective commitment to one's major, involvement in one's major, and willingness to be a mentor. Contrary to expectations, capitalization did not mediate the relationship between peer reentering and student outcomes, suggesting that these constructs contribute independently to positive outcomes. Implications and future research directions are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The ability of systems and synthetic biologists to observe the dynamics of cellular behavior is hampered by the limitations of the sensors, such as fluorescent proteins, available for use in time-lapse microscopy. In this paper, we propose a generalized solution to the problem of estimating the state of a stochastic chemical reaction network from limited sensor information generated by microscopy. We mathematically derive an observer structure for cells growing under time-lapse microscopy and incorporates the effects of cell division in order to estimate the dynamically-changing state of each cell in the colony. Furthermore, the observer can be used to discrimate between models by treating model indices as states whose values do not change with time. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions that specify when stochastic chemical reaction network models, interpreted as continuous-time Markov chains, can be distinguished from each other under both continual and periodic observation. We validate the performance of the observer on the Thattai-van Oudenaarden model of transcription and translation. The observer structure is most effective when the system model is well-parameterized, suggesting potential applications in synthetic biology where standardized biological parts are available. However, further research is necessary to develop computationally tractable approximations to the exact generalized solution presented here. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Suicidal behavior was associated with demographic characteristics (e.g., young age, male, and White) and loss of a significant other; childhood abuse experiences moderated the relationship between current stressors and suicidal behavior; suicidal behavior appeared to be consistent across the deployment cycle.

AB - Benefit finding and unit leadership have been identified as buffers against the negative effects of combat exposure on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. However, little is known about how these different buffers work together to protect military personnel from the negative effects of combat. We examined benefit finding and leadership as buffers of the combat–PTSD symptoms link in a sample of recently returned combat veterans (N = 583). Results revealed that when higher levels of noncommissioned officer (NCO) leadership and benefit finding (BF) were reported, fewer PTSD symptoms were endorsed. Additionally, BF buffered the relationship between combat stress and PTSD symptoms, but only under conditions of supportive officer leadership. Implications of these findings for military settings are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - This paper examines the architecture of Dresden in the era of East/West reunification. Traditional theories of German national development have identified three foci for post-World War II development, the Geopolitics of Nostalgia that seeks to return German national identity to an era prior to World War II, Zero Point thinking that seeks to build a new Germany from the ashes of World War II and critical preservation has sought to preserve some Nazi landscapes in an effort to facilitate discussion on the controversial era. Being an East German city, however, Dresden was isolated from the development of West German identity This paper examines the ways in which East German (GDR) memory has been dealt with in the landscape. Buildings and themes of the GDR have been disavowed, modified, or removed from the center of the city. The new Dresden is a city that has minimal clues to either its Nazi or East German past. It is being presented as a city with one eye on its proud, pre-Nazi and Soviet, history and one eye on its future potential. This demonstrates the diffusion of West German models of nationalism into the East after unification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - For the manufacturing community, determining the optimal process mean can often lead to a significant reduction in waste and increased opportunity for monetary gain. Given the process specification limits and associated rework or rejection costs, the traditional method for identifying the optimal process mean involves assuming values for each of the process distribution parameters prior to implementing an optimization scheme. In contrast, this article proposes integrating response surface methods into the framework of the problem, thus removing the need to make assumptions on the parameters. Furthermore, whereas researchers have studied models to investigate this research problem for a single quality characteristic and multiple nominal-the-best type characteristics, this article specifically examines the mixed multiple quality characteristic problem. A non-linear programming routine with economic considerations is established to facilitate the identification of the optimal process mean vector. An analysis of the sensitivity corresponding to the cost structure, tolerance, and quality loss settings is also provided to illustrate their effect on the solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An analytic methodology was developed to predict the fatigue life of a structure experiencing stationary, Gaussian random vibration excitation. This method allows the estimation of fatigue life using a frequency domain method, where only the input power spectral density and damping factor are required. The methodology uses linear elastic fracture mechanics for fatigue crack propagation and accounts for the frequency shifting that occurs due to fatigue crack evolution. Good results have been obtained comparing the analytic model to both finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental results, for mild-steel cantilever beams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Two newly designed formulations of stick camouflage face paint, one with 30% iV,iV-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) and the other without DEET, were evaluated for acceptability among soldiers upon completion of normal military field training exercises. A total of 156 soldiers participated and completed a self-administered survey answering questions about product acceptability, packaging, and ease of use. Results of the study indicated that soldiers found stick formulations, with and without DEET, to be acceptable for use (62.9% and 83.7%, respectively). This data will be used by the Program Management Office at the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity to support a request to the Armed Forces Pest Management Board to assign a National Stock Number.

AB - Background: The quantification of species-richness and species-turnover is essential to effective monitoring of ecosystems. Wetland ecosystems are particularly in need of such monitoring due to their sensitivity to rainfall, water management and other external factors that affect hydrology, soil, and species patterns. A key challenge for environmental scientists is determining the linkage between natural and human stressors, and the effect of that linkage at the species level in space and time. We propose pixel intensity based Shannon entropy for estimating species-richness, and introduce a method based on statistical wavelet multiresolution texture analysis to quantitatively assess interseasonal and interannual species turnover. Methodology/Principal Findings: We model satellite images of regions of interest as textures. We define a texture in an image as a spatial domain where the variations in pixel intensity across the image are both stochastic and multiscale. To compare two textures quantitatively, we first obtain a multiresolution wavelet decomposition of each. Either an appropriate probability density function (pdf) model for the coefficients at each subband is selected, and its parameters estimated, or, a non-parametric approach using histograms is adopted. We choose the former, where the wavelet coefficients of the multiresolution decomposition at each subband are modeled as samples from the generalized Gaussian pdf. We then obtain the joint pdf for the coefficients for all subbands, assuming independence across subbands; an approximation that simplifies the computational burden significantly without sacrificing the ability to statistically distinguish textures. We measure the difference between two textures' representative pdf's via the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL). Species turnover, or β diversity, is estimated using both this KL divergence and the difference in Shannon entropy. Additionally, we predict species richness, or α diversity, based on the Shannon entropy of pixel intensity.To test our approach, we specifically use the green band of Landsat images for a water conservation area in the Florida Everglades. We validate our predictions against data of species occurrences for a twenty-eight years long period for both wet and dry seasons. Our method correctly predicts 73% of species richness. For species turnover, the newly proposed KL divergence prediction performance is near 100% accurate. This represents a significant improvement over the more conventional Shannon entropy difference, which provides 85% accuracy. Furthermore, we find that changes in soil and water patterns, as measured by fluctuations of the Shannon entropy for the red and blue bands respectively, are positively correlated with changes in vegetation. The fluctuations are smaller in the wet season when compared to the dry season. Conclusions/Significance: Texture-based statistical multiresolution image analysis is a promising method for quantifying interseasonal differences and, consequently, the degree to which vegetation, soil, and water patterns vary. The proposed automated method for quantifying species richness and turnover can also provide analysis at higher spatial and temporal resolution than is currently obtainable from expensive monitoring campaigns, thus enabling more prompt, more cost effective inference and decision making support regarding anomalous variations in biodiversity. Additionally, a matrix-based visualization of the statistical multiresolution analysis is presented to facilitate both insight and quick recognition of anomalous data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Malaria transmission requires the production of male and female gametocytes in the human host followed by fertilization and sporogonic development in the mosquito midgut. Although essential for the spread of malaria through the population, little is known about the initiation of gametocytogenesis in vitro or in vivo. Using a gametocyte-defective parasite line and genetic complementation, we show that Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte development 1 gene (Pfgdv1), encoding a peri-nuclear protein, is critical for early sexual differentiation. Transcriptional analysis of Pfgdv1 negative and positive parasite lines identified a set of gametocytogenesis early genes (Pfge) that were significantly down-regulated (>10 fold) in the absence of Pfgdv1 and expression was restored after Pfgdv1 complementation. Progressive accumulation of Pfge transcripts during successive rounds of asexual replication in synchronized cultures suggests that gametocytes are induced continuously during asexual growth. Comparison of Pfge gene transcriptional profiles in patient samples divided the genes into two groups differing in their expression in mature circulating gametocytes and providing candidates to evaluate gametocyte induction and maturation separately in vivo. The expression profile of one of the early gametocyte specific genes, Pfge1, correlated significantly with asexual parasitemia, which is consistent with the ongoing induction of gametocytogenesis during asexual growth observed in vitro and reinforces the need for sustained transmission-blocking strategies to eliminate malaria.

AB - James Madison faced a difficult war because of Republican antipathy to taxation, debt, standing armies, federal aid to infrastructure, and a national bank. Many Republicans shared Thomas Jefferson's faith that an untrained militia could easily conquer Canada, but they did not improve militia training or administration. Indeed, Jefferson gutted the army's fledgling supply organization in 1802, an act far more significant for the War of 1812 than the creation of the Military Academy. Jefferson boxed himself and his successor into a corner by refusing to negotiate with Britain on realistic terms and by relying on commercial sanctions that damaged the economy and devastated revenues. Reactive and backward-looking, the Jeffersonian Republicans refused to match ends and means and failed to create a viable deterrent or alternative to war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A common problem in defense acquisition is the difficulty in ensuring that the required capabilities stated in capability development documents are technically feasible, affordable, and available through mature technologies. This problem is driven by a lack of knowledge on both the capability developer and program manager teams. Addressing this knowledge gap requires a new approach to capability development, where knowledge gained early in the process is injected into the capability development process in a rigorous way. This article describes that new technical approach along with lessons learned on two large acquisition programs. Key tenets include the use of pre-planned knowledge points as a vehicle for expanded collaboration between program managers and capability developers, and early use of systems engineering fundamentals.

AB - It is experimentally shown that barium titanate glass microspheres with diameters (D) in the range 2-220 μm and with high refractive index (n ∼ 1.9-2.1) can be used for super-resolution imaging of liquid-immersed nanostructures. Using micron-scale microspheres, we demonstrate an ability to discern the shape of a pattern with a minimum feature size of ∼λ/7, where λ is the illumination wavelength. For spheres with D > 50 μm, the discernible feature sizes were found to increase to ∼λ/4. Detailed data on the resolution, magnification, and field-of-view are presented. This imaging technique can be used in biomedical microscopy, microfluidics, and nanophotonics applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The lattice and total Li-ionic conductivity of LiLaTiO ceramic (LLTO) sintered at 1200 °C were determined as functions of powder calcination temperature and sintering duration, and these results were correlated with the relative degrees of Li-ordering, Li-content, grain size, and bulk density to assess the relative impact of these parameters on material performance. Under all conditions, LLTO formed with a high degree of tetragonal superstructure to its perovskite related framework, and the lattice conductivity closely followed the relative amounts of the superstructure, as evaluated via determination of the sample ordering parameter from X-ray diffraction data. LLTO powders that were calcined at 900 °C for 1 h and sintered at 1200 °C for 6 h gave lattice conductivity values (~1.14 × 10S cm) comparable within the highest ranges reported in the literature. This coincided with the lowest degree of tetragonal superstructure formation, and it was also found to be largely independent of the values of Li-content measured on sintered ceramic despite significant LiO volatilization at longer sintering times (up to 23 % after 12 h at 1200 °C). Samples of LLTO powder that were calcined at 1100 °C and sintered at 1200 °C for 12 h resulted in the highest total Li-ion conductivity value ~6.30 × 10S cm. The total conductivity of LLTO varied inversely with grain size when the grains were <20 μm but was insensitive to that parameter above that size threshold. The strongest influence on total conductivity was primarily the bulk ceramic density. It was estimated from measured values that as the bulk ceramic density approached the full theoretical value for LLTO the total conductivity could near the lattice conductivity of ~1.2 × 10S cm.

AB - Construction project managers are often faced with the challenge of managing a complex construction process consisting of multiple trades working on a large number of interdependent tasks. A social network is a pattern of ties that exist between different entities (i.e., people, organizations, countries). There is an underlying social network of trades that exists with a construction project and recognizing it can help a management team succeed in this challenging environment. A $50 million project involving 43 trades was studied over a 28-week period. Pajek, a social network analysis program, was used to generate a series of 14 social networks for the trades involved. Both degree and eigenvector centrality were analyzed to reflect the distribution of relationships through the network and to identify the key trades. This research is useful to project managers and is significant as it outlines and illustrates a method of identifying the underlying network and associated key trades of a construction project based on spatial proximity. While this research is based upon an individual case study, the apsects of this research are repeatable. The methods presented in this paper will enable others to develop a social network that is tailored for a specific aspect of a project, ranging from contract development teams to the individual trades using a critical path method (CPM) schedule.

AB - Purpose: To characterize noncombat injury/illness, determine changes in physical fitness, and evaluate the influence of these changes on medical resource utilization by National Guard (NG) Soldiers. Methods: Fifty-four Soldiers from the Arizona NG completed pre- and postdeployment fitness testing. Additionally, individual deployment medical records were inventoried. Results: The majority of noncombat-related medical visits (41%) were musculo- skeletal in nature, followed by miscellaneous (33%) and respiratory (13%). Soldiers experienced significant decreases in percent fat mass (- 11.1%, p < 0.001) and VO2 peak (- 10.8%, p < 0.001). There were significant increases in push-ups (16.4%, p < 0.00l), sit-ups (11.0%, p = 0.001), bench-press (10.2%, p < 0.001), and back squat (14.2%, p < 0.001) measures. VO2 peak was inversely correlated to medical resource utilization (r = -0.45 to -0.28, p ≤ 0.05). The tertile of Soldiers experiencing the sharpest declines in VO2 peak had significantly more medical visits over the course of the deployment than the other two tertiles (8.0 vs. 2.6 vs. 3.1 medical visits/Soldier, p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The predominate noncombat medical issue was musculoskeletal injury. NG Soldiers improved their body composition, strength, and endurance but experienced significant declines in aerobic fitness while deployed. These data document the association between declining aerobic fitness and increased utilization of medical resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objectives: Military health care personnel need to have skills relative to caring for patients on the battlefield. No studies have compared the two teaching strategies of using the human patient simulator (HPS) and a CD-ROM in caring for combat injuries. The objective of this study was to determine if there were statistically significant differences in HPS and CD-ROM educational strategies relative to caring for patients who have trauma. Methods: A pretest/post-test prospective experimental design was used. Anesthesia students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: HPS, CD-ROM, or a control group. A valid and reliable instrument, Combat Performance, was used to evaluate the participant's ability to give care to trauma patients. Results: A repeated analysis of variance and a least significant difference post hoc test were used to analyze the data. The HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM and control groups relative to performance (p = 0.001). There was no difference between the CD-ROM and control group (p = 0.171). Discussion: We speculate that the HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM group because of the realism. Conclusion: In this study, the HPS method of instruction was a more effective method of teaching than the CD-ROM approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Appropriate and effective physical fitness training is imperative for soldier survival and mission success. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Mission Essential Fitness (MEF) circuit-style training program compared to standard Army Physical Readiness Training (APRT) on fitness, physiological, and body composition changes. Active duty Army personnel were randomly assigned to two groups (MEF = 34 or APRT = 33) for 8 weeks of training (15 sessions each). The MEF program included functional movements focused on strength, power, speed, and agility. Fifteen exercises were performed continuously for 60 to 90 seconds for 45 minutes. Baseline and post-test measures included the Army physical fitness test, physiological indicators, body composition, and additional fitness indicators. One-way analysis of covariance models indicated that MEF participants significantly increased their push-ups (p = 0.033), bench press (p = 0.001), and flexibility (p = 0.003) and significantly decreased their 2-mile run (p = 0.003) and step test heart rate (p = 0.004) compared to participants doing APRT. Both groups maintained body composition (p > 0.05) and reported no injuries. The MEF training program safely improved muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility, supporting functional fitness circuit-style exercise training for military personnel.

AB - The Pascagoula watershed likely offers the greatest possibility for the survival of the Gulf sturgeon, Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi, within Mississippi. Thus, understanding and preserving the connectivity between distant habitats in this region plays a major role in protecting and managing such anadromous fish populations. The focus of this project was to determine the within-river routes Gulf sturgeon take through the lower Pascagoula River downstream of the point where it splits (river kilometer 23) into two distinct distributaries. Sixty days were sampled throughout a two-year period with a total effort of 81 947 net-meter-hours and eight Gulf sturgeon were captured, ranging from 74 to 189 cm FL and weighing from 3.6 to 52.6 kg. Using an array of automated telemetry receivers, acoustically tagged Gulf sturgeon movements were monitored within the lower river and associated estuary. Estimated residence times (days) suggest Gulf sturgeon appear to prefer the eastern distributary upriver from Bayou Chemise as the primary travel corridor between freshwater habitats and marine feeding grounds. The western distributary mouth was more highly used by Gulf sturgeon during both seasonal migrations between upriver and offshore habitats. Thus, the western distributary appears to represent the main entrance point utilized by Gulf sturgeon to the Pascagoula River watershed and should be protected as the eastern distributary mouth has been altered from a natural marsh edge to one of hardened surfaces.

AB - Since its emergence in the north-eastern and upper mid-western United States in the 1970s, Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, has captured the public's attention as the nation's most prevalent vector-borne zoonotic disease. In contrast, recent publications on tick-pathogen systems in the eastern United States, and findings from Department of Defense investigations of ticks found biting military personnel, indicate that residents of the south-eastern United States are primarily at risk from emerging diseases caused by tick-borne pathogens other than B. burgdorferi. The risk of contracting these diseases varies greatly among states as a consequence of regional variation in the abundance of the key vector tick species. Moreover, this risk is changing, because tick distributions are in flux. To improve health outcomes, health providers need better information and awareness regarding which tick species bite humans in each state and which zoonotic pathogens are prevalent in these ticks. Effective diagnosis, treatment, control and reporting of tick-borne disease in the south-eastern United States require that health providers think 'beyond Lyme' and consider the marked regional differences in the tick species that bite humans and in the pathogens that these ticks carry.

AB - We study the behavior of pathogens on host protein networks for humans and Arabidopsis - noting striking similarities. Specifically, we preform k-shell decomposition analysis on these networks - which groups the proteins into various "shells" based on network structure. We observe that shells with a higher average degree are more highly targeted (with a power-law relationship) and that highly targeted nodes lie in shells closer to the inner-core of the network. Additionally, we also note that the inner core of the network is significantly under-targeted. We show that these core proteins may have a role in intra-cellular communication and hypothesize that they are less attacked to ensure survival of the host. This may explain why certain high-degree proteins are not significantly attacked. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The fair division of a surplus is one of the most widely examined problems. This paper focuses on bargaining problems with fixed disagreement payoffs where risk-neutral agents have reached an agreement that is the Nash-bargaining solution (NBS). We consider a stochastic environment, in which the overall return consists of multiple pies with uncertain sizes and we examine how these pies can be allocated with fairness among agents. Specifically, fairness is based on the Aristotle's maxim: "equals should be treated equally and unequals unequally, in proportion to the relevant inequality". In this context, fairness is achieved when all the individual stochastic surplus shares, which are allocated to agents, are distributed in proportion to the NBS. We introduce a novel algorithm, which can be used to compute the ratio of each pie that should be allocated to each agent, in order to ensure fairness within a symmetric or asymmetric NBS.

AB - Many government agencies and private consulting companies manage large pavement networks in terms of infrastructure condition assessment and maintenance planning. Efficient pavement management is supported by pavement management systems (PMSs), which includes models for pavement condition assessments considered 'valuable' by agency's engineers. The objective of this article is to define a pavement condition model able to overcome surveyors' subjectivity in rating distresses and thus provide meaningful pavement conditions for the agencies to employ in project planning. The article proposes a fuzzy inference model for calculating pavement condition ratio (PCR) specifically tailored on the Alabama Department of Transportation Pavement (ALDOT) guidelines and policies. Applied to several surveyors' ratings, the proposed model has the ability to smooth distress extent differences among surveyors producing PCR values within acceptable range of variability. The proposed approach has the intention of not only enhancing pavement condition characterization but also to exploit the opportunity made available by automation in the collection and interpretation of pavement data which are anyway characterized by an inherent subjectivity.

AB - The ballistic impact of Twaron CT709® plain weave fabrics is studied using a three-dimensional fabric model. The model is developed by treating each individual yarn as a continuum, and the time-dependent yarn behavior is phenomenologically described using a three-dimensional linear viscoelastic constitutive relation. A user subroutine VUMAT for ABAQUS/Explicit is compiled to incorporate the constitutive behavior. By using the newly developed model, a parametric study is carried out to analyze the effects of various parameters on the impact behavior of the fabrics, which include impact velocity, inter-yarn friction, and the number of fabric layers. The simulation results obtained include bullet residual velocity, fabric deformation and damage pattern, kinetic energy of the system, fabric strain energy, and frictional dissipation energy. The residual velocities predicted by the current model correlate well with existing experimental data, and the parametric study leads to the determination of the optimal number of fabric layers and the optimized level of inter-yarn friction that are needed to achieve the maximum energy absorption in the fabrics at specified impact velocities.

AB - Studies have yielded consistent variables associated with military suicides: age (17 to 30 years), gender (male), race (white), and previous mental health conditions. Military experience variables have shown little associations with suicide. Taken together, findings may be explained, in part, by age-specific psychosocial tasks (e.g., intimacy versus isolation and identity versus role confusion). Both relate directly to the extent that the individual is socially integrated—tasks health and medical research literature have described as increasingly more difficult for youth to effectively accomplish. Contextual circumstances, such as gender and race, appear to provide necessary supports to successfully accomplish these psychosocial tasks. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Understanding the interplay of dispersal and how it translates into gene flow is key to understanding population processes, and especially so for endangered species occupying fragmented habitats. In migratory songbirds, there is evidence that long-distance movement capabilities do not translate well into observed dispersal. Our objectives were to (i) define the fine-scale spatial genetic structure in endangered black-capped vireos to characterize dispersal patterns and (ii) to correlate dispersal dynamics to overall population genetic structure using a simulation approach. We sampled 160 individuals over 2 years to (i) describe the fine-scale genetic structuring and (ii) used this information to model scenarios to compare with actual data on change in population structuring over a 100-year interval. We found that black-capped vireos exhibit male philopatry and restricted dispersal distances, relative to females. Our simulations also support a sex-biased dispersal model. Additionally, we find that fragmentation related changes in rates of dispersal might be a likely cause for increasing levels of population structure over a 100-year period. We show that restricted sex-biased dispersal can explain population structuring in this species and that changes in dispersal rates due to fragmentation may be a continuing threat to genetic viability in this species.

AB - The ability to adapt to different conditions is key for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), to successfully infect human hosts. Adaptations allow the organism to evade the host immune responses during acute infections and persist for an extended period of time during the latent infectious stage. In latently infected individuals, estimated to include one-third of the human population, the organism exists in a variety of metabolic states, which impedes the development of a simple strategy for controlling or eradicating this disease. Direct knowledge of the metabolic states of M. tuberculosis in patients would aid in the management of the disease as well as in forming the basis for developing new drugs and designing more efficacious drug cocktails. Here, we propose an in silico approach to create state-specific models based on readily available gene expression data. The coupling of differential gene expression data with a metabolic network model allowed us to characterize the metabolic adaptations of M. tuberculosis H37Rv to hypoxia. Given the microarray data for the alterations in gene expression, our model predicted reduced oxygen uptake, ATP production changes, and a global change from an oxidative to a reductive tricarboxylic acid (TCA) program. Alterations in the biomass composition indicated an increase in the cell wall metabolites required for cell-wall growth, as well as heightened accumulation of triacylglycerol in preparation for a low-nutrient, low metabolic activity life style. In contrast, the gene expression program in the deletion mutant of dosR, which encodes the immediate hypoxic response regulator, failed to adapt to low-oxygen stress. Our predictions were compatible with recent experimental observations of M. tuberculosis activity under hypoxic and anaerobic conditions. Importantly, alterations in the flow and accumulation of a particular metabolite were not necessarily directly linked to differential gene expression of the enzymes catalyzing the related metabolic reactions.

AB - Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to examine the nursing practice environment and burnout of nursing personnel assigned to a deployed combat support hospital (CSH). A secondary aim was to compare differences in the level of burnout between the deployed Army nursing personnel and Army nursing personnel assigned to an Army hospital in the United States that served as the U.S. military's primary referral center for American combat casualties evacuated from Iraq. Design: A nonexperimental cross-sectional design was used for this study. Methods: The Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Practice Environment Scale were administered to 105 personnel who deployed with a CSH to Iraq. Data from this study were linked to data obtained from 152 nursing personnel who participated in an earlier burnout study at a large Army hospital in the United States. The linked datasets yielded a final sample of 257 Army nursing personnel. Analysis of variance and linear regression analysis were used to analyze these data. Findings: Emotional exhaustion was common across groups. For the deployed nursing personnel, emotional exhaustion was related to a perceived lack of support from management, foundations for quality of care, collegial relationships, and extended work schedules. The U.S.-based Army hospital group scored significantly higher emotional exhaustion, but it was related to the additional responsibilities associated with being an Army nurse, working extended schedules, and working with combat casualties for extended periods of time. The U.S.-based group perceived more personal accomplishment from the work they do. Conclusions: Burnout was common across Army hospital settings. Emotional exhaustion was most problematic in the U.S.-based Army hospital; however, there was less cynicism toward patients and a greater perception of personal accomplishment associated with work. Clinical Relevance: This study supports the importance of a professional practice environment for Army nursing personnel both during deployment and in U.S.-based Army hospitals.

AB - Improving productivity and reducing work-in-process are two activities that can improve project performance, but are often difficult to accomplish. The construction process is complex and consists of a large number of interdependent and sequential tasks. Construction activities are simulated as serial production lines, using state- and resource-based simulation of construction processes simulation models, to investigate the effects that different production control strategies (push/pull and balanced/unbalanced) have on productivity and work-in-process. The sensitivity to task duration variance is also examined for different working strategies. Simulation results are used to compare the models based on their performance. In the presence of duration variance, push strategies result in higher productivity, whereas pull strategies result in lower amounts of work-in-process. Pull strategies are more sensitive to the presence of duration variance. Work-in-process is also a function of the coefficient of variance. Simulation results are used to compare the tradeoffs between strategies. The findings will help construction managers better understand the effects of working strategies and conditions to decide which production control strategy is best suited for their needs.

AB - We hypothesized that the use of evidence based injury prevention strategies would lead to a reduction in the incidence of femoral neck stress injuries (FNSIs) and other serious overuse injuries in U.S. Army Basic Combat Training (BCT). An injury prevention strategy began in late 2008 that included: (1) leadership education, (2) leader- ship enforcement of proven methods, and (3) injury surveillance and reporting. Data on FNSI and removal from training for injury were analyzed based on the fiscal year 2006 through 2010 (n = 210,002). For men, FNSI were reduced from 13 to 20 cases/10,000 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 8 cases/10,000 recruits in 2010 (p < 0.01); for women, FNSI were reduced from 35 to 41 cases/10,000 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 18 cases/10,000 recruits per year in 2010 (p < 0.01). For men, removals from training for injury were reduced from 0.8 to 1.1 cases/100 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 0.5 cases/100 recruits in 2010 (p < 0.01); for women removal from training for injury was reduced from 2.3 to 2.4 cases/100 recruits (2006-2008) to 1.0 case/100 recruits per years in 2010 (p < 0.01). The time course of the changes suggests that following specific injury prevention methods was effective in reducing injuries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - With neurocognitive testing being heavily relied on for concussion assessments in the U.S. Warfighter, there is a need to investigate the impact of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Objectives: To determine if a nonconcussive injury may have a negative effect on neurocognitive functioning in a deployment setting. Methods: The current study compared scores on computerized and traditional neurocognitive tests of 166 Soldiers deployed to Iraq. Performance on a battery of tests was compared between a group of healthy deployed Soldiers (n = 102) versus a group of deployed Soldiers seeking outpatient care for mild injuries not involving the head or blast exposure (n = 62). Results: The injured group's performance was not significantly lower on any of the measures administered compared to healthy Soldiers. Conclusions: The results suggest that there was no significant effect of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Findings lend support to feasibility of using neurocognitive tests to evaluate the effects of concussion in theater. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Hydrodynamic and water quality codes have been frequently linked. These have typically been linked with both the hydrodynamic and water quality models using similar explicit time steps, but for long-term simulations implicit models are required. The water quality codes linked to these hydrodynamic codes are forced to perform their computations using the hydrodynamic time step even though utilizing the same might result in drifting of the water quality solution. This technical note presents the development and testing of an operator splitting-derived method for linking hydrodynamic and water quality codes with adaptive time stepping. The resulting method provides high-fidelity solutions that compare well with analytic solutions and lends itself for extension to various other transported quantities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The aim of this study is to investigate the optimum technique to disperse vapour grown carbon nanofibres (VGCNFs) in SC-1 epoxy uniformly and to evaluate their effect on the performance of SC-1 epoxy. In this study, ultrasonication and Thinky mixing methods were used either in isolation or in combination with 3-roll shear mixing. To achieve better dispersion, VGCNF was tested either by mixing with SC-1 resin directly or premixed with a solvent and then mixed with SC-1 resin after evaporating the solvent. Flexural tests were performed to evaluate mechanical performances, and the results exhibited 25.60% and 8.88% improvement of flexural strength and modulus, respectively over neat epoxy with only 0.2 wt.% loading. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) indicated improvement in storage modulus, Tg, inflection temperature and residue content respectively over neat SC-1 epoxy. The high viscosity found by rheological analysis prevents their ubiquitous use in fibre reinforced composites. Thermal and mechanical properties at higher loading conditions were seen either to reduce or not significantly improve. These results indicate that the methods used for dispersion are suitable for low weight percent loading only. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article presents the integration of brain injury biomechanics and graph theoretical analysis of neuronal connections, or connectomics, to form a neurocomputational model that captures spatiotemporal characteristics of trauma. We relate localized mechanical brain damage predicted from biofidelic finite element simulations of the human head subjected to impact with degradation in the structural connectome for a single individual. The finite element model incorporates various length scales into the full head simulations by including anisotropic constitutive laws informed by diffusion tensor imaging. Coupling between the finite element analysis and network-based tools is established through experimentally-based cellular injury thresholds for white matter regions. Once edges are degraded, graph theoretical measures are computed on the ''damaged'' network. For a frontal impact, the simulations predict that the temporal and occipital regions undergo the most axonal strain and strain rate at short times (less than 24 hrs), which leads to cellular death initiation, which results in damage that shows dependence on angle of impact and underlying microstructure of brain tissue. The monotonic cellular death relationships predict a spatiotemporal change of structural damage. Interestingly, at 96 hrs post-impact, computations predict no network nodes were completely disconnected from the network, despite significant damage to network edges. At early times (tv24 hrs) network measures of global and local efficiency were degraded little; however, as time increased to 96 hrs the network properties were significantly reduced. In the future, this computational framework could help inform functional networks from physics-based structural brain biomechanics to obtain not only a biomechanics-based understanding of injury, but also neurophysiological insight.

AB - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been not only a major focus of concern during the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, but also among our garrison service members. The prevalence of these injuries has compelled the nation and Congress to invest in the development of policies and programs that support evidence-based care for the full continuum of TBI, from mild (otherwise known as concussion) to severe and penetrating brain injuries. Although, the Department of Defense has made great strides in the areas of TBI clinical care, education, and research, there remains a great need to leverage scientific, policy, and clinical advancement to maximize care of the service member. The purpose of this article is to outline the 7 major areas of work currently being undertaken to help advance the field of TBI. The 7 areas include: (1) eliminating undetected mild traumatic brain injury through prompt early diagnosis, (2) ensuring force readiness and addressing cultural barriers, (3) improving collaborations with the Department of Veterans Affairs, other federal agencies, and academic and civilian organizations, (4) improving deployment-related assessments, (5) deploying effective treatments, (6) conducting military-relevant and targeted research, and (7) enhancing information technology systems.

AB - Highly mobile multipurpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) crashes present an important issue for the U.S. military. The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of occupants of military motor vehicle (MMV) crashes involving HMMWVs that occurred among deployed U.S. Army Soldiers. Crash-related data were collected from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center on MMV crashes among active duty Army personnel between 1999 and 2006. Records for 964 occupants with injuries from HMMWV crashes were analyzed, which represented 52% of the total occupants of MMV crashes. A significant association was observed between injury and engagement in combat, odds ratio 1.49 (1.03, 2.16). The risk of injury was greatest for gunners, odds ratio 2.37 (1.43, 3.92), and injury cost related to the crash was significantly related to prior deployment status (p < 0.001) and role of Soldier in the vehicle (Operator p = 0.005, Gunner p = 0.003). There was also a decrease over time in the number of crashes resulting in injury (p < 0.001). These data support the development of interventions that address the specific risks detailed, including the use of combat simulation training, increased protection for vulnerable positions, and enforcement of safety regulations.

AB - On January 30,2009, nursing staff at a military hospital in Texas reported that single-patient use insulin pens were used on multiple patients. An investigation was initiated to determine if patient-to-patient bloodborne transmission occurred from the practice. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing was offered to patients hospitalized from August 2007 to January 2009 and prescribed insulin pen injections. Virus from HCV-infected patients' sera was sequenced and compared for relatedness. An anonymous survey was administered to nurses. Of 2,113 patients prescribed insulin pen injections, 1,501 (71%) underwent testing; 6 (0.4%) were HIV positive, 6 (0.4%) were hepatitis B surface antigen positive, and 56 (3.7%) had HCV antibody. No viral sequences from 10 of 28 patients with newly diagnosed and 12 of 28 patients with preexisting HCV infection were closely related. Of 54 nurses surveyed, 74% reported being trained on insulin pen use, but 24% believed nurses used insulin pens on more than one patient. We found no clear evidence of bloodborne pathogen transmission. Training of hospital staff on correct use of insulin pens should be prioritized and their practices evaluated. Insulin pens should be more clearly labeled for single-patient use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Infectious diarrhea remains a major risk to deployed military units worldwide in addition to their impact on travelers and populations living in the developing world. This report describes an outbreak of diarrheal illness in the U.S. military's 130th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade deployed in San Vicente, El Salvador during a training and humanitarian assistance mission. An outbreak investigation team from U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit - Six conducted an epidemiologic survey and environmental assessment, patient interviews, and collected stool samples for analysis in an at risk population of 287 personnel from May 31st to June 3rd, 2011. Personnel (n = 241) completed an epidemiological survey (87% response rate) and 67 (27%) reported diarrhea and/or vomiting during the past two weeks. The median duration of illness was reported to be 3 days (IQR 2-4 days) and abdominal pain was reported among 30 (49%) individuals. Presentation to the medical aid station was sought by (62%) individuals and 9 (15%) had to stop or significantly reduce work for at least one day. Microscopy and PCR analysis of 14 stool samples collected from previously symptomatic patients, Shigella (7), Cryptosporidium (5), and Cyclospora (4) were the most prevalent pathogens detected. Consumption of food from onbase local vendors (RR = 4.01, 95% CI = 1.53-10.5, p-value <0.001) and arriving on base within the past two weeks (RR = 2.79, 95% confidence [CI] = 1.35-5.76, p-value = 0.001) were associated with increased risk of developing diarrheal disease. The risk of infectious diarrhea is great among reserve military personnel during two week training exercises. The consumption of local food, prepared without proper monitoring, is a risk factor for deployed personnel developing diarrheal illness. Additional information is needed to better understand disease risks to personnel conducting humanitarian assistance activities in the Latin America Region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A new software package called the Virtual Penetration Laboratory (VPL) has been developed to automatically generate and optimize penetration resistance functions. We have used this VPL code to generate highly "tuned" penetration resistance functions that can distinctly model the penetration trajectory of steel projectiles into rate-independent, elastic-perfectly plastic aluminum targets. Projectiles with arbitrary nose geometry were considered in this example (i.e. conical, ogival, and spherical nose shapes). The penetration resistance of the aluminum target was determined by numerically solving a series of spherical and cylindrical cavity expansion problems. The solution to these cavity expansion problems were obtained with an explicit, dynamic finite element code that accounts for material and geometric nonlinearities. The resulting cavity expansion equations are then transformed to penetration resistance functions using various transformation algorithms, in order to determine an appropriate method to spatially distribute the resisting stresses on the projectile nose. The resulting penetration resistance functions were then used in a penetration trajectory code to predict the actual trajectories observed from a set of similar experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In assessing the potential collateral effects of bomb attacks on tanks of stored liquids, it is useful to separate the liquid that is aerosolized as an escaping cloud from that which remains inside the tank or rapidly falls to the nearby ground. One relationship currently in use partitions the two categories using a linear model of aerosolized fraction versus fragment energy deposited per unit mass of liquid which is based on calculations and a few test data points. Since this model is incorporated in popular programs used by an expanding number of first responders to assess potential hazards, there is a need for high-confidence test data across the parameter space of interest to improve and/or validate the model. Such a series of tests was conducted during November of 2008 in which 7.57-liter (ℓ) sized cans of water were impacted with fragments of known mass using scored cased explosive charges. Impact velocities were measured, and the remaining water in the can and on the nearby ground platform was collected and weighed. The missing water was assumed to be aerosolized. This new data establishes an S-curve as a more accurate relationship between aerosolized fraction (AF) and the fragment energy deposited per unit mass of liquid in the container.

AB - In Part I of this study a coupled thermo-mechanical finite element model for the simulation of the entire precision glass lens molding process was presented. That study addressed the material definitions for the molding glass, L-BAL35, computational convergence, and how the final deviation of the lens shape from the mold shape is achieved for both a bi-convex lens and a steep meniscus lens. In the current study, after validating the computational approach for both lens types, an extensive sensitivity analysis is performed to quantify the importance of several material and process parameters that affect deviation for both lens shapes. Such a computational mechanics approach has the potential to replace the current trial-and-error, iterative process of mold profile design to produce glass optics of required geometry, provided all the input parameters are known to sufficient accuracy. Some of the critical contributors to deviation include structural relaxation of the glass, thermal expansion of the molds, TRS and viscoelastic behavior of the glass and friction between glass and mold. The results indicate, for example, the degree of accuracy to which key material properties should be determined to support such modeling. In addition to providing extensive sensitivity results, this computational model also helps lens molders/machine designers to understand the evolution of lens profile deviation for different lens shapes during the course of the process.

AB - For servicemembers who have sustained amputations and wish to return to Active Duty, performing common military tasks is essential. The purpose of this study was to examine the metabolic requirements of servicemembers with transtibial amputations wearing a loaded rucksack and walking at a steady speed. We tested 12 servicemembers with unilateral transtibial amputations and 12 uninjured controls on a treadmill at two walking speeds (1.34 and 1.52 m/s) while they carried a 32.7 kg load. Oxygen consumption was recorded. Results showed that metabolic demand for the injured servicemembers was significantly higher (8.5% at 1.34 m/s and 10.4% at 1.52 m/s) than for controls. An understanding of energy expended duringload carriage by this study population is critical for decisions regarding return-to-duty requirements. Although significantdifferences existed between uninjured controls and those with amputations, it is important to note that those differences are less than previously published. This finding, coupled with the fact that servicemembers with transtibial amputations have redeployed, implies that, despite statistical significance, results may not be clinically relevant. Future work should include more taxing conditions to identify a threshold for potential limitations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sediment transport in wave-dominated environments is of great interest for dredged material placement, contaminated sediments, habitat protection, and other issues. The shear stress at the sediment-water interface during a wave event is an important parameter in determining erosion and transport for both experimental and model simulation applications. Sandia National Laboratories has developed a laboratory and field device called the sediment erosion actuated by wave oscillations and linear flow (SEAWOLF) flume in which high-resolution, particle-image velocimetry (PIV) has been applied to investigate turbulent flow shear stresses for a variety of flow conditions. The results of the PIV analysis for a wave cycle demonstrate a fully developed turbulent flow, relaminarization, and an explosive transition back to turbulence. In many cases, the results of the flume tests did not show good agreement with previously reported computational fluid dynamic results and existing theories, such as Blasius, for wave-current interactions, which raises the question of whether similar phenomena are present in real environments. These results implore more studies to be conducted with similarly high-resolution field measurements and modeling efforts to determine shear stress time history for oscillatory flows and the subsequent effects on erosion and sediment transport in wave-dominated environments.

AB - In Part I of this two-part study, a theory is provided for the extension of the lattice discrete particle model (LDPM) to include fiber reinforcing capability. The resulting model, LDPM-F, is calibrated and validated in the present paper by comparing numerical simulations with experimental data gathered from the literature. The analyzed experiments include direct tension, confined and unconfined compression, and notched three-point bending tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Data suggest military personnel involved in U. S. military initiatives in Iraq and Afghanistan are returning from deployment with elevated rates of mental health diagnoses, including posttraumatic stress disorder ( PTSD). The aim of this study was to examine difficulties with emotion regulation as a potential contributory mechanism by which soldiers have poorer psychological outcomes, such as depression, dissociation, alcohol abuse, and interpersonal difficulties. Participants were 44 active-duty male service members who comprised three groups, including those deployed with and without diagnosed PTSD and those prior to deployment. Participants in the PTSD group scored significantly higher on measures of self-reported depression, trauma-related dissociation, alcohol misuse, and social adjustment difficulties than did comparison groups. Importantly, difficulties with emotion regulation were found to partially mediate the relationship between PTSD and depression, poor social adjustment, and trauma-related depersonalization but not alcohol misuse. Emotion-regulation difficulties are important to consider in the relationship between PTSD and additional psychological outcomes in recently deployed personnel. Implications for treatment are briefly discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Previous research exploring the relationship between spatial orientation and cognition shows that if balance and orientation are unstable, there is a natural tendency to direct all mental resources to regaining orientation. To expand this line of research, this study examined how disorientation affects aviators' cognition while actively piloting a flight simulator. Thirty-six UH-60 aviators participated in the study, and were asked to perform cognitive tests (presented aurally) as they flew oriented and disoriented flight profiles. Test accuracy was significantly worse for the disoriented condition than the two oriented conditions for both cognitive tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The U.S. Army continues to evaluate capabilities associated with the Future of Vertical Lift (FVL) program--a futures program (with a time horizon of 15 years and beyond) intended to replace the current helicopter fleet. As part of the FVL study, we investigated required capabilities for future aeromedical evacuation platforms. This study presents two significant capability findings associated with the future aeromedical evacuation platform and one doctrinal finding associated with medical planning for future brigade operations. The three results follow: (1) Given simplifying assumptions and constraints for a scenario where a future brigade is operating in a 300 x 300² km the zero-risk aircraft ground speed required for the FVL platform is 350 nautical miles per hour (knots); (2) Given these same assumptions and constraints with the future brigade projecting power in a circle of radius 150 km, the zero-risk ground speed required for the FVL platform is 260 knots; and (3) Given uncertain casualty locations associated with future brigade stability and support operations, colocating aeromedical evacuation assets and surgical elements mathematically optimizes the 60-minute set covering problem.

AB - We sought to summarize knee injuries (KI) in the U.S. Active Duty Army (ADA) in terms of absolute numbers, examine current rate trends, and identify ADA who were at increased risk for experiencing a KI. We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD) to compute unadjusted and adjusted rates of KI, categorized by the Barell Matrix, within the ADA for the years 2000-2005. During this period, 21 to 25 per 1,000 ADA suffered from KI. The highest yearly rates were observed for knee dislocation and sprains/strains (31 per 1,000 ADA). In ADA with a history of a KI (within 2 years), rates increased nearly tenfold. Elevated KI rates were also seen in ADA with prior upper or lower leg injuries, those >30 years of age, and those with a category IV Armed Forces Qualification Test score (lowest admissible in Army). ADA KI rates remained fairly stable throughout the study period. Relative to other ADA Soldiers, those with prior knee, upper leg, or lower leg injuries are at increased risk for subsequent KI.

AB - The purpose of the present study was to assess the occurrence of visual dysfunctions and associated symptoms in active duty warfighters during the subacute stage of blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). A comprehensive visual and oculomotor function evaluation was performed on 40 U.S. military personnel, 20 with blast-induced mTBI and 20 without. In addition, a comprehensive symptom questionnaire was used to assess the frequency of visual, vestibular, and neuropsychiatric-associated symptoms. The most common mTBI-induced visual dysfunctions were associated with near oculomotor deficits, particularly large exophoria, decreased fusion ranges, receded near point of convergence, defective pursuit and saccadic eye movements, decreased amplitude of accommodation, and monocular accommodative facility. These were associated with reduced reading speed and comprehension and an increased Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey score. Photosensitivity was a common visual dysfunction along with hearing, balance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The oculomotor testing for warfighters suspected of blast-induced mTBI should include, at a minimum, the assessment of near lateral and vertical phorias, positive fusional vergence, stereoacuity, near point of convergence, amplitude of accommodation, monocular accommodative facility, saccades, and pursuit eye movements. A reading test should be included in all routine exams as a functional assessment of the integration of oculomotor functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper presents coupled calculations of both the airloads and structural loads for the UH-60A main rotor during the UTTAS pull-up maneuver performed under the NASA/Army UH-60A Airloads Program. These calculations were performed using OVERFLOW-2, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver, coupled to the Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System (RCAS), a rotorcraft comprehensive analysis. For time-varying maneuvers, the two codes were tightly coupled and exchanged airloads and structural deflections at every time step. The coupled solution methodology gives improved airload prediction because of the ability to model three-dimensional transonic effects on the advancing blade, stall events on the retreating blade, as well as the aeroelastic deformations. Correlation with data for both the airloads and structural loads is reasonably good. Control load predictions also show good correlation with data, which is a substantial improvement over conventional analyses. A quasisteady loosely coupled approximate solution was also examined and was found to give good airload and structural load predictions, for this relatively slow maneuver. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An analytical study was conducted examining the feasibility of a swashplateless rotor controlled through two trailing-edge flaps (TEFs), where the cyclic and collective controls were provided by separate TEFs. This analysis included a parametric study examining the impact of various design parameters on TEF deflections. Blade pitch bearing stiffness; blade pitch index; and flap chord, span, location, and control function of the inboard and outboard flaps were systematically varied on a utility-class rotorcraft trimmed in steady level flight. Gradient-based optimizations minimizing flap deflections were performed to identify single- and two-TEF swashplateless rotor designs. Steady, forward flight analysis suggest that a two-TEF swashplateless rotor where the outboard flap provides cyclic control and inboard flap provides collective control can reduce TEF deflection requirements without a significant impact on power, compared to a single-TEF swashplateless rotor design.

AB - A slowed-rotor compound helicopter is conceptually designed using a multifidelity approach, showing the potential for significant efficiency improvements above conventional helicopters. The cruise tip speed and bilinear twist distribution are optimized using the Comprehensive Analytical Model of Rotorcraft Aerodynamics and Dynamics (CAMRAD II). Systemlevel metrics are computed using the NASA Design and Analysis of Rotor Craft (NDARC) program to show top-level payoffs. An aeroperformance map is generated using comprehensive analysis for the optimum twist distribution, providing calibration data for the main rotor model within NDARC. Effects of disk loading and wing loading on the size of the slowed-rotor compound helicopter are analyzed, and off-design performance is computed. Rotor-wing interference effects are analyzed using CAMRAD II for several wing vertical locations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - White-nose syndrome (WNS), an emerging infectious disease that has killed over 5.5 million hibernating bats, is named for the causative agent, a white fungus (Geomyces destructans (Gd)) that invades the skin of torpid bats. During hibernation, arousals to warm (euthermic) body temperatures are normal but deplete fat stores. Temperature-sensitive dataloggers were attached to the backs of 504 free-ranging little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) in hibernacula located throughout the northeastern USA. Dataloggers were retrieved at the end of the hibernation season and complete profiles of skin temperature data were available from 83 bats, which were categorized as: (1) unaffected, (2) WNS-affected but alive at time of datalogger removal, or (3) WNS-affected but found dead at time of datalogger removal. Histological confirmation of WNS severity (as indexed by degree of fungal infection) as well as confirmation of presence/absence of DNA from Gd by PCR was determined for 26 animals. We demonstrated that WNS-affected bats aroused to euthermic body temperatures more frequently than unaffected bats, likely contributing to subsequent mortality. Within the subset of WNS-affected bats that were found dead at the time of datalogger removal, the number of arousal bouts since datalogger attachment significantly predicted date of death. Additionally, the severity of cutaneous Gd infection correlated with the number of arousal episodes from torpor during hibernation. Thus, increased frequency of arousal from torpor likely contributes to WNS-associated mortality, but the question of how Gd infection induces increased arousals remains unanswered.

AB - Coupled thermomechanical finite element models were developed in ABAQUS to simulate the precision glass lens molding process, including the stages of heating, soaking, pressing, cooling and release. The aim of the models was the prediction of the deviation of the final lens profile from that of the mold, which was accomplished to within one-half of a micron. The molding glass was modeled as viscoelastic in shear and volume using an n-term, prony series; temperature dependence of the material behavior was taken into account using the assumption of thermal rheological simplicity (TRS); structural relaxation as described by the Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan (TNM)-model was used to account for temperature history dependent expansion and contraction, and the molds were modeled as elastic taking into account both mechanical and thermal strain. In Part I of this two-part series, the computational approach and material definitions are presented. Furthermore, in preparation for the sensitivity analysis presented in Part II, this study includes both a bi-convex lens and a steep meniscus lens, which reveals a fundamental difference in how the deviation evolves for these different lens geometries. This study, therefore, motivates the inclusion of both lens types in the validations and sensitivity analysis of Part II. It is shown that the deviation of the steep meniscus lens is more sensitive to the mechanical behavior of the glass, due to the strain response of the newly formed lens that occurs when the pressing force is removed.

AB - Even after multiple cycles of ABET accreditation, many engineering programs are unsure of how much curriculum content is needed to meet the requirements of ABET's Criterion 3.f (an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility). This study represents the first scholarly attempt to assess the impact of curriculum reform following the introduction of ABET Criterion 3.f. This study sought to determine how much professional and ethical responsibility curriculum content was used between 1995 and 2005, as well as how, when, why, and to what effect changes in the amount of content occurred. Subsequently, the study sought to evaluate if different amounts of curriculum content generated differing student outcomes. The amount of curriculum content used by each of the participating programs was identified during semi-structured interviews with program administrators and a review of ABET Self-Study documents. Quantitative methods were applied to determine if a relationship existed between the curriculum content and performance on a nationally administered, engineering-specific standardized examination. The findings indicate a statistical relationship, but a lack of structure between the amount of required content in the curriculum and performance on the examination. Additional findings were also generated regarding the way that programs interpret the Criterion 3.f feedback generated during accreditation visits. The primary impact of this study is that it dispels the myth that more courses or course time on professionalism and ethics will necessarily lead to positive engineering education outcomes. Much of the impetus to add more curriculum content results from a lack of conclusive feedback during ABET accreditation visits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this work, we synthesize hierarchical ZnO nanowires in a customized atmospheric CVD furnace and investigate their surface modification behavior for prospective nitroaromatic sensing applications. The morphology and crystal structure of pristine nanowires are characterized through FE-SEM, TEM, X-ray diffraction and EDAX studies. Photoluminescence behavior of pristine nanowires is also reported. Surface modification behavior of synthesized nanowires on a ZnO-oleic acid system is studied by utilizing Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy. Based on these findings, 1-pyrenebutyric acid (PBA) has been identified as an appropriate fluorescent receptor for sensing p-nitrophenol. Fluorescence quenching experiments on a PBA- p-nitrophenol system are reported and a detection limit of up to 28 ppb is envisaged for PBA-grafted ZnO nanowire-based optical sensor.

AB - Surface traces of the Quaternary active Kern Canyon and Breckenridge faults were mapped via aerial reconnaissance, analysis of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) elevation data, review and interpretation of aerial photography, field reconnaissance, and detailed field mapping. This effort specifically targeted evidence of late Quaternary surface deformation and, combined with separate paleoseismic investigations, identified and characterized the North Kern Canyon, South Kern Canyon, and Lake Isabella sections of the Kern Canyon fault and the Breckenridge fault. The mapping presented here provides definitive evidence for previously unrecognized Holocene and late Pleisto cene east-down displacement along the Kern Canyon and Breckenridge faults. Our results indicate that much of the Kern Canyon fault has undergone Quaternary reactivation to accommodate internal deformation of the otherwise rigid Sierra Nevada block. This deformation reflects ongoing, seismogenic crustal thinning in the southern Sierra Nevada, and highlights the effects of localized tectonic forces operating in this part of the Sierra Nevada.

AB - U.S. Army soldiers spend months at a time working in austere environments during deployments. The numerous physical demands placed on them during deployment can lead to musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries account for the majority of medical evacuations and lost duty days, seriously affecting mission readiness. Because of limited electronic injury data, little research has been done on physical demands associated with injury in deployed environments. To this end, this study conducted a survey on 263 soldiers in a Stryker Brigade Combat Team during their third month of deployment to Afghanistan. In the third month, 23% sustained an injury and 43% of injuries affected the low-back, shoulder, or knee. Dismounted patrolling and lifting were reported to account for 36% of injuries. Wearing heavy loads and lifting tasks were identified as injury risk factors. Wearing heavier equipment and lifting objects higher may increase physical demands and may result in injury.

AB - Objectives: To explore the relationship between adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) subtypes and neuropsychological functioning among U.S. soldiers. Methods: Deploying soldiers (N = 260) completed the World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener. Cognitive tests, a deployment healthhistory questionnaire, and the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist-Military Version were completed by subsamples of available participants. Results: The prevalence of positive ASRS screens was 10.4%. ASRS scores were correlated with PTSD avoidance (n = 63, p = 0.37, p - 0.003), hyperarousal (17 = 63, p = 0.25, p = 0.047), and total PTSD scores (n = 62, p = 0.33, p = 0.009); and all six moods (e.g., anger, anxiety) scale scores (n = 110; p = -0.37 to 0.43). ASRS was also correlated with scores on the match-to-sample (n = 110, p = -0.23, p = 0.014) and emotional Stroop (n = 108, p = -0.23, p = 0.016) tasks. In addition, a differential pattern between subtypes of ADHD was noted with regard to cognitive functioning, mood, and combat stress symptomatology. Conclusions: Although the results are preliminary given the sample size, the prevalence and comorbidities of ADHD appear to be similar among military and nonmilitary populations.

AB - Using microwave reflection spectroscopy, the complex permittivities of etch defined, 240 nm thick, (Ba0.6Sr0.4)TiO3, thin films have been measured over the frequency range of (1 to 4) GHz. Anomalous electric-field-induced electro-acoustic resonances were observed and characterized as a function of extrinsic electric field magnitude, ambient temperature, and sample diameter. The real and imaginary parts of the measured permittivities were fit to frequency-dependent functions derived from the Lorentz oscillator model. From these functions, extracted static dielectric constants were found to display excellent agreement with a closed-form expression derived by calculating third-order nonlinear susceptibility from the Landau-Devonshire-Ginzberg model.

AB - Lighter weight alternatives are being sought to replace metallic components currently used in high performance aviation and missile systems. Benefits of lightweight, high strength carbon fiber reinforced composites in missile launchers and rocket motor cases include improved fuel economy, increased flight times, enhanced lethality and/or increased velocity. In this work, various nondestructive inspection techniques are investigated for the damage assessment of a composite missile launcher system for use in U.S. Army attack helicopters. The launcher system, which includes rails and a hardback, can be subject to impact damage from accidental tool drops, routine operation, and/or ballistic threats. The composite hardback and the launch rails both have complex geometries that can challenge the inspection process. Scanning techniques such as line scanning thermography, ultrasonic, and acousto-ultrasonics will be used and compared to determine damage detection accuracy, reliability, and efficiency. Results will also be compared with visual observations to determine if there is a correlation. The goal is to establish an inspection method that quickly and accurately assesses damage extent in order to minimize service time and return the missile system back into the field [1].

AB - Multi-layer, multi-material transparent laminate systems are used to enhance protection efficiency for ground vehicle windshield and window applications while ensuring sufficient visibility for the operator. Impact damage caused by low velocity strikes may result in crack formation in the transparent materials or delaminations between layers, which can impair visibility and affect performance. In this effort, transparent laminate systems have been nondestructively evaluated in a pre-impact, baseline state using visual inspection, cross-polarization imaging, and ultrasound characterization. After subjecting the laminate systems to a series of low velocity impact tests, the same nondestructive methods were used for characterization of the post-impact state. The effects of cumulative damage to the laminate systems were also studied by impacting them multiple times at the same location and observing the increase in damage and resulting damage mechanisms. This work provided a means for comparison of transparent laminate systems based on low velocity impact damage tolerance to achieve improved visibility and protection capabilities.

AB - Enhanced terahertz emission from coherently strained InxGa1-xN epilayers on GaN is observed, which exceeds or is comparable to bulk InAs emission at pump wavelengths of 400 nm or 800 nm, respectively. The inverted terahertz waveform from the InxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructure indicates that the dominant terahertz generation mechanism is electron acceleration toward the InxGa1-xN surface in an internal electric field primarily associated with piezoelectric polarization charge at the heterointerface, rather than diffusive transport away from the surface typically observed in bulk semiconductors. The persistence of the inverted waveform for 266 nm excitation provides evidence of ultrafast electron relaxation via LO phonon emission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Currently, a number of organizations across the Gulf Coast are simultaneously collecting and distributing proprietary data. However, if Gulf Regional Sediment Management Master Plan (GRSMMP) users are to perform analysis efficiently and make effective, educated decisions to support various coastal projects, collaboration and data sharing at all levels of government and among the numerous shareholders must be established. One method of doing this is the implementation of an enterprise geographic information system (EGIS)-a geospatial technology infrastructure that delivers spatial information products, services, and standard data sets to all business elements and processes within and among organizations. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has developed and/or participated in a number of such enterprise GIS efforts, including the eCoastal, CE-Dredge, and Spatial Presentation Viewer programs. It is therefore proposed that the GRSMMP establish a firm data management plan and implement an organized, enterprise approach to data management through the use of Web Map Services (WMS). By including the publication of planned data acquisition, inventory of available offline data products, and direct access to organization flagship data sets, such a proposal would allow GRSMMP members to locate, connect to, view, and retrieve desirable data sets across many agencies, saving time and money previously dedicated to new data acquisition.

AB - Dredging activities are a potential source of sediment and should be considered in any conservation and restoration planning process. Wise use of sediment resources from dredging is integral to accomplishing the conservation and restoration initiatives and objectives being recommended under the Gulf of Mexico Alliance. Keeping dredged sediments within the natural system or using it in the construction of restoration projects can improve environmental conditions, provide storm damage protection, and contribute to habitat creation and restoration goals. Hundreds of millions of cubic yards of sediments are dredged each year from Gulf ports, harbors, and waterways, much of which could be used beneficially. Currently it is estimated that about 30% of all material dredged from federal channels in the Gulf states is used beneficially and very little of the privately funded dredging is used for beneficial purposes. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) conducts dredging under its navigation maintenance program and much of the dredging conducted is typically done on a scheduled and routine basis. Successful planning of beneficial-use projects utilizing USACE dredging necessitates the early coordination and work of multidisciplinary interagency teams on a regular basis. There is also a need to improve data access and management for dredging activities for use by project managers and planners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Development of dynamic regional sediment management (RSM) plans is needed for future planning, construction, and monitoring of wetland and barrier island restoration. Broadly speaking, RSM refers to the optimum use of various sediment resources (littoral, estuarine, and riverine) in an environmentally effective and economically feasible manner. Coordination of the supply and demand sides of sand resources in a comprehensive manner will be required as project planning develops and evolves. The sediment budget is a planning tool that provides an accounting of sediment sources, sinks, and pathways as well as engineering activities and sediment budgets have generally been characterized as conceptual, interim, and operational depending upon the quality of the data, the level of analysis, and the uncertainty associated with the volume fluxes in the sediment budget. This paper summarizes existing sediment budget data for the entire Northern Gulf of Mexico. The purpose of this work has been to compile available sediment budget data into a common geographic information system-based data management framework in order to address various sediment management issues related to restoration around the Gulf of Mexico. The regional sediment budget is comprehensive and current through year end 2008. Within the coastal management community, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of reliable sediment budgets to inform sediment management decisions. However more work is needed to refine the sediment budget and provide its appropriate place in coastal management decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A partnership has been instituted through the Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA) among the Gulf States to enhance the ecological and economic health of the Gulf of Mexico. Established under the GOMA, the Habitat Conservation and Restoration Team (HCRT) recognized that sediments are integral to and a critical resource in accomplishing the GOMA conservation and restoration objectives. As a result, the Gulf Regional Sediment Management Master Plan (GRSMMP) was initiated for managing sediment resources and corroborates the need for an understanding of regional sediment processes. The plan provides guidelines using the understanding of sediment dynamics to manage resources toward accomplishing environmental restoration, conservation, and preservation while enhancing abilities to make informed, management decisions. A key step in this process is the recognition of a technical framework that provides a foundation associated with regional sediment management processes essential for establishing management guidelines that balance sediment dynamics and available sediment resources with needs and that enhance abilities to make informed management decisions and develop regional strategies. Issues surrounding sediment management, both natural and dredged sediments, have a considerable impact on the ability to sustain coastal habitats. Sediment management must occur on a regional scale unencumbered by agency, state, or political boundaries. Guidelines and recommendations from this effort will aid the Gulf States in more effective management of sediment resources, recognizing they are a part of a regional system involving natural and man- made processes. The effort involves a range of state and federal agencies, as well as nongovernmental representatives. Thus, a technical framework for the GRSMMP was compiled/completed and submitted to the HCRT/GOMA. The decision was made to publish this document as peer-reviewed papers in a special issue of the Journal of Coastal Research for benefit of the global scientific community. In return, feedback in terms of review and comments will be beneficial for the team. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Context: Individuals with low back pain (LBP) are thought to benefit from interventions that improve motor control of the lumbopelvic region. It is unknown if therapeutic exercise can acutely facilitate activation of lateral abdominal musculature. Objective: To investigate the ability of 2 types of bridging-exercise progressions to facilitate lateral abdominal muscles during an abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) in individuals with LBP. Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: 51 adults (mean ± SD age 23.1 ± 6.0 y, height 173.6 ± 10.5 cm, mass 74.7 ± 14.5 kg, and 64.7% female) with LBP. All participants met 3 of 4 criteria for stabilization-classification LBP or at least 6 best-fit criteria for stabilization classification. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to either traditional-bridge progression or suspension-exercise-bridge progression, each with 4 levels of progressive difficulty. They performed 5 repetitions at each level and were progressed based on specific criteria. Main Outcome Measures: Muscle thickness of the external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and transversus abdominis (TrA) was measured during an ADIM using ultrasound imaging preintervention and postintervention. A contraction ratio (contracted thickness:resting thickness) of the EO, IO, and TrA was used to quantify changes in muscle thickness. Results: There was not a significant increase in EO (F1,47 = 0.44, P = .51) or IO (F1,47 = .30, P = .59) contraction ratios after the exercise progression. There was a significant (F1,47 = 4.05, P = .05) group-bytime interaction wherein the traditional-bridge progression (pre = 1.55 ± 0.22; post = 1.65 ± 0.21) resulted in greater (P = .03) TrA contraction ratio after exercise than the suspension-exercise-bridge progression (pre = 1.61 ± 0.31; post = 1.58 ± 0.28). Conclusion: A single exercise progression did not acutely improve muscle thickness of the EO and IO. The magnitude of change in TrA muscle thickness after the traditional-bridging progression was less than the minimal detectable change, thus not clinically significant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Many conflicts are enabled by environmental instability. This has been especially problematical in sub-Saharan Africa where non-sustainable practices and environmental change have combined with the proliferation of failing governments, enabling long-standing ethnic and religious antagonisms to erupt into violent conflicts. History has demonstrated that environmental stress can result in conflict, frequently along ethnic lines. Thus, the concept of environmental security has emerged as one basis for under-tanding conflict. To that end, this paper examines the nexus between the environment and conflict and demonstrates the need for careful environmental analysis by presenting a model illustrating the relationship between natural resources and political stability in Sub-Saharan Africa. The results suggest that a statistically significant relationship exists between arable land and access to fresh water, and political stability and non-violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Hayes classification of tidal inlet geomorphic type and the distances from the inlet to the most seaward and down-drift extents of ebb deltas are examined. For this purpose, a database was compiled for 89 tidal inlets along the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific Ocean coasts of the United States. The database contains spring or diurnal tidal prism and the average significant wave height and wave period from a 20-year hindcast. The Hayes diagram aims to classify inlet plan- view morphology by tide range and wave height. Based on the work presented here, it is concluded that the inlet classification of Hayes has limited applicability for describing the morphology of typical tidal inlets, and replacement of tide range by inlet tidal prism did not improve the classification. Best correlation for the two ebb delta extents was found for inlets segregated by wave exposure (as mild, moderate, or high) and by tidal prism. There was poor or no correlation for moderately wave-exposed inlets, and moderate to high correlation was found for mildly and highly exposed inlets. The seaward and down-drift extents of inlets tend to remain constant up to a tidal prism less than 108 m3, depending on wave exposure, and then increase linearly with tidal prism. It is postulated that a tidal prism less than approximately 108 m3 is a tipping point required to overcome other factors controlling tidal inlet plan-form morphology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Two-dimensional tidal flows within the Lake Pontchartrain-Lake Borgne area (Louisiana) are simulated to assess the effects of the surge protection structure on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) on navigation conditions. The region of interest is modeled with a shallow-water, depth-averaged, finite-element model. The water levels and discharge are analyzed at a location in the GIWW to ascertain model behavior. It is shown that the presence of the structure produces infrequent increases in velocities in the GIWW, which can be mitigated by a proposed structure near Lake Pontchartrain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A total of 25 small-scale laboratory experiments simulating combined wave overtopping and storm-surge overflow on a trapezoidal levee were conducted at a nominal prototype-to-model scale of NL=25. Time series measurements of irregular and unsteady flow thickness and velocity were acquired at two locations on the landward-side, 1V : 3H slope. These measurements were used to calculate the time series of instantaneous shear stress representing the average over a 4.8-m-long (prototype scale) levee slope between the two measurement locations. Empirical relationships are presented for estimating the mean shear stresses for steady overflow and for combined wave and surge overtopping. For the latter case, additional formulas are given for estimating representative parameters of the irregular shear stress peaks associated with individual overtopping waves. The collected data were intended primarily for the design of rapidly deployable levee armoring systems; however, the data could also be used to evaluate the erosion of soil or vegetated levees and dikes.

AB - The effects of external currents on the longshore current and sediment transport in the surf zone are examined using the cross-shore numerical model CSHORE, which is extended to include the alongshore pressure gradient term in the longshore momentum equation and to allow oblique waves in the swash zone on a beach. The extended CSHORE is compared with five tests conducted in a wave basin with a recirculation system. The cross-shore variations of the longshore current and sediment-transport rate are predicted fairly well for the cases of no and favorable pressure gradients. The cases of adverse and time-varying pressure gradients are computed to extrapolate the experimental results for wider applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Headquarters, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Energy Research Laboratory (CERL), and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) worked together to explore the potential to reach the 2015 energy performance goal of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007: to reduce fossil fuel-generated energy consumption by 65% for five common military construction building types (U.S. Congress 2007). This report covers the analysis, approach, and results examining energy performance for the Army tactical equipment maintenance facility. Starting with a previous project by CERL and NREL that explored 30% energy savings for the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (U.S. Congress 2005), the current project was able to achieve 40%-63% site energy savings (depending on climate zone) compared to a baseline building model, and 51%-76% source energy savings compared to Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey 2003 (EIA 2008) data for a similar building type. Recommended energy efficiency measures include passive house insulation standards, demand control ventilation strategies in the maintenance repair bays, radiant floor heating, transpired solar collectors, reduced lighting power densities, daylighting, and lighting control strategies.

AB - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), academia, and private sector subject matter experts, recently completed an energy study to evaluate potential site and source energy-use reduction in new Army buildings. The study was completed in response to the mandates for energy savings in federal buildings enacted by the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (U.S. Congress 2007). The building types studied included an Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing (UEPH or barracks), a brigade headquarters (administrative building), a company operation facility, a maintenance facility, and a dining facility (DFAC). The study was conducted for representative locations in all 15 DOE identified climate zones in the United States with building designs adapted to these climatic conditions. This paper presents the results of the energy analysis for a typical Army dining facility. It discusses energy efficiency measures and combinations used to reduce both internal and external loads on the building and overall energy use. The largest load in a DFAC is the cooking, and the currently available best-in-class kitchen equipment is included in the final design. The potential site energy savings compared to the energy code range from 21% to 38%. The potential source energy savings compared to Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey ranges from 37% to 42%. Additional savings may be obtained if an efficient cogeneration system is used and the building is considered as a part of the building cluster or community to fully utilize the energy from the cogeneration system.

AB - The 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) require that all new federal facilities be built fossil fuel free by 2030. This raises the bar considerably from the 2005 Energy Policy Act, which required federal facilities be built to achieve at least 30% energy savings over ASHRAE Standard 90.1 - 2004. On the trajectory towards the 2030 goal, buildings have to meet 65% decrease of source energy from the Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) survey for the building type specified. The EISA requirement is not a comparison between a baseline and an energy efficient simulation, but a direct comparison with the actual results from the final simulation with the EISA target. This is not a delta percentage comparison; it includes total source energy and all the building loads must be addressed and not left out of the calculation as an unregulated portion of the building load. The result of the study was guidance on how to reach a 60-80% energy use reduction from Commercial Building Energy Consumption Study (CBECS). The 2005 Energy Policy Act requires that federal facilities be built to achieve at least a 30% energy savings over the 2004 ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004. The Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in collaboration with USACE HQ and Centers of Standardization for respective building types, subject matter expert (SME) contractors, and the DOE National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) participated in a study to recommend design guides to achieve the Federal requirements for new buildings to be constructed under the Military Transformation Program. The building types included Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing or UEPH, administrative buildings (e.g., a brigade headquarters, and a company operation facility), a tactical equipment maintenance facility, and a dining facility. This paper presents the results of the energy analysis for the soldier barracks (UEPH). It provides the baseline building selected for the analysis and the modeling assumptions. As a result of a computer analysis using EnergyPlus, the target energy budgets are defined for all DOE 15 Climate Zones. Finally, a recommended set of energy efficient solutions for each climate zone is presented that shows the buildings limit as it approached net zero ready. It shows potential energy savings both on the building site and source energy when energy use reduction is considered on a building-by-building basis. It also shows further energy use reduction opportunities when energy improvements are made with each building considered as a part of the building cluster or community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Army is required by law (EPACT 2005, EISA 2007) to eliminate fossil fuel use in new and renovated facilities by 2030 and to reduce overall facility energy usage by 30% by 2015. Army policy is to achieve eight net zero energy pilot installations by 2020, 25 net zero energy installations by 2031, and for all installations to achieve net zero energy status by 2058. Achieving Net Zero Energy (NZE) will only be possible if an optimum mix of demand reduction and renewable sources are put in place at a community (installation) or building cluster scale. The Army operates what are essentially small campuses, or clusters of buildings on its installations. The US Department of Energy (DOE) is focused on the national grid scale or on individual buildings, while the commercial focus is on retrofits to individual buildings. There are only few case studies worldwide that address dynamics of energy systems at the community scale, and to date, there is a lack of tools to perform that task. The building stock at most US Army installations is complex and includes a mix of high and low energy use buildings. Energy use in these buildings varies due to the different military mission and requirements for each building, installation growth and expansion, and soldier deployment. Achieving net zero energy economically at such installations will require a seamless blend of energy conservation in individual buildings and building systems automation, utility management and control, and power delivery systems that have the capability to offer integration of on-site power generation (including renewable energy sources). This paper describes the Net Zero fossil fuel based energy optimization process and illustrates it with an example based on the results of study conducted for a cluster of buildings at Fort Irwin, CA. The integrated optimization process is being developed under the Army research and development project "Modeling Net Zero Installations - Energy (NZI-E)" and the International Energy Agency (IEA) Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS) Annex 51. The process is stepped, beginning with the optimization of each building to achieve the most cost effective energy efficient optimization of building envelope and energy using systems. Then energy saving measures affecting the total building cluster are optimized taking advantages of the diversification between energy intensities, scheduling, and waste energy streams utilization. The energy demands of the resulting energy-use optimized cluster will require the minimum sized renewable energy system needed to make the building cluster Net Zero fossil fuel energy.

AB - A river salinity model has been developed on the 21 major canal areas in the lower Arkansas River Basin in Colorado to address the impact of irrigation return flow on the river. The quantity of the return flow is predicted by constructing response functions for tailwater, canal leakage, and in-field deep percolation so that the spatial and temporal distribution of the return flow can be simulated. A groundwater table surface is generated using water table elevation data from 974 wells in the study area to establish flow paths and travel time for groundwater. The quality of the return flow is predicted by simulating the evapoconcentration process in the root zone soil in which hydro-chemical reactions occur and affect the salinity of in-field deep percolation water. The effects of shallow water table and high soil salinity on crops are simulated to account for the impacts that these two factors have on crop consumptive use. Model calibration and validation over a 192-month period from January 1986 to December 2001 show strong agreement between the observed and simulated values of river flow volume and river salinity. The simulation results show that irrigation return flows, including tailwater and groundwater return flows, significantly increase river quantity, but that groundwater return flow is also a major component of river salinity. There is significant seasonal fluctuation in river salinity and soil water salinity. The increase of soil water salinity from the soil surface to the bottom of the root zone is significant and will cause salt to be loaded to the groundwater. The simulation from 1991-2001 indicates that 20.9% of the 19,944 million m3 of irrigation water applied to Colorado's lower Arkansas Valley becomes canal leakage, 22.5% is in-field deep percolation, and 22.9% becomes tailwater. This study assesses the effect of reducing agricultural irrigation on river salinity. Consider the scenario of three major canals stopping irrigation and transferring a portion of the curtailed water to off-basin cities with the remaining portion released to the river. The results indicate that, in order not to increase river salinity for downstream reaches, the portion of water transferred to cities should not exceed 50%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Ankle braces can protect the ankle joint from ligament sprains and fractures during high-risk military activities such as physical training and parachuting. Although braces are recommended for injury prevention purposes, the impact of braces on physical performance is unknown. This study evaluated lace-up ankle braces, worn inside the boots, across three conditions: no brace, unilateral brace, and bilateral brace on the dependent variables of dynamic lower extremity reach and obstacle course performance. Thirty-seven military cadets were tested over 3 days. Ankle bracing had a small effect upon anterior and composite lower extremity reach distances. Bracing had no effect upon obstacle course performance times. Inside-the-boot ankle bracing restricts lower extremity reaching and mildly impacts mobility, however, no restrictions were observed with running, climbing, jumping, or negotiating obstacles. Lace-up ankle braces can be used in conjunction with combat boots to protect the ankle during high-risk activities without having an impact upon tactical movements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This issue in the series Current Topics in Military Tropical Medicine focuses on Q Fever. Q fever is a zoonotic infection caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Over 150 confirmed cases have occurred among U.S. military personnel deployed to Iraq since 2007. Acute Q fever is underdiagnosed because of a myriad of possible clinical presentations but typically presents as a flu-like illness. The most common chronic manifestation is endocarditis. Most providers are not familiar with the diagnosis, treatment, or appropriate follow-up of this disease. In order to facilitate the care of patients infected with C. burnetii, the Armed Forces Infectious Diseases Society convened a panel of experts in the field to develop practical guidelines for those caring for infected patients. The recommendations and rationale are reviewed in this article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Soluble receptor decoy inhibitors, including receptor-immunogloubulin (Ig) fusion proteins, have shown promise as candidate anthrax toxin therapeutics. These agents act by binding to the receptor-interaction site on the protective antigen (PA) toxin subunit, thereby blocking toxin binding to cell surface receptors. Here we have made the surprising observation that co-administration of receptor decoy-Ig fusion proteins significantly delayed, but did not protect, rats challenged with anthrax lethal toxin. The delayed toxicity was associated with the in vivo assembly of a long-lived complex comprised of anthrax lethal toxin and the receptor decoy-Ig inhibitor. Intoxication in this system presumably results from the slow dissociation of the toxin complex from the inhibitor following their prolonged circulation. We conclude that while receptor decoy-Ig proteins represent promising candidates for the early treatment of B. anthracis infection, they may not be suitable for therapeutic use at later stages when fatal levels of toxin have already accumulated in the bloodstream.

AB - The United States Military Academy educated the most successful and iconic Confederate generals. How did West Point reconcile the memory of Confederate graduates who, while famed for their martial prowess, fought against the U.S. Army? In the Gilded Age, West Point neither forgot nor forgave Confederate graduates for fighting against the U.S. Army. The memory of wartime chaos, Congressional criticism, and Confederate graduates' betrayal left the Military Academy feeling defensive. This defensiveness led West Point to create a series of written and stone memorials, mainly in the 1890s, highlighting West Point's role in saving the Union. All of the memorials excluded Confederate graduates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Asphalt concrete pavements for commercial airport applications in the USA are constructed according to guidelines in Item P-401, ‘Plant Mix Bituminous Pavements’, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5370-10E. Item P-401 specifies the material characteristics and construction requirements for airport asphalt pavements, but does not currently provide guidance for using the Superpave gyratory compactor (SGC) in the preparation of specimens used in the design of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures. Nearly all state departments of transportation in the USA use the SGC along with the Superpave mix design procedure. Since most HMA mixes are used in roadways, many asphalt contractors no longer maintain expertise and equipment for conducting the Marshall mix design procedure currently used by the FAA. The lack of contractors familiar with the Marshall method may become a significant problem for the FAA in the future. This paper describes a laboratory study of the HMA mix design for airport pavements, which uses the SGC. The purpose of the study was to determine the number of gyrations with the SGC needed to design asphalt pavement mixtures for airports. A value of 70 gyrations is recommended for further evaluations based on the comparisons of volumetric measurements of HMA mixture specimens compacted using Marshall compaction with specimens from the same mixture compacted using Superpave gyratory compaction.

AB - It has been long recognized that successful human tutors are capable of adapting instruction to mitigate barriers (e.g., withdrawal or frustration) to learning during the one-to-one tutoring process. A significant part of the success of human tutors is based on their perception of student affect (e.g., mood or emotions). To at least match the capabilities of human tutors, computer-based intelligent tutoring system (ITS) will need to "perceive" student affect and improve performance by selecting more effective instructional strategies (e.g., feedback). To date, ITS have fallen short in realizing this capability. Much of the existing research models the emotions of virtual characters rather than assessing the affective state of the student. Our goal was to determine the context and importance of student mood in an adaptable ITS model. To enhance our existing model, we evaluated procedural reasoning systems used in virtual characters, and reviewed behavioral and physiological sensing methods and predictive models of affect. Our experiment focused on passive capture of behaviors (e.g., mouse movement) during training to predict the student's mood. The idea of mood as a constant during training and predictors of performance are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - - High-head dams in Oregon's Willamette River basin inhibit seaward migration and present significant mortality risks to ESA-listed juvenile Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Over 7 years, we passively collected 13,365 downstream-migrating juvenile salmon in rivers above and below Willamette dams. Most salmon emigrated from upstream sites in February-June, but passed dams in November-February when reservoirs were drawn down near annual lows, and access to deep-water passage routes improved. Samples collected above reservoirs were dominated by subyearlings, whereas below-dam samples were a phenotypically diverse mix of subyearling, yearling and older salmon. The life history data indicated that Willamette reservoirs seasonally entrap many salmon and some sea-ready smolts probably residualise. Annual dam-passage mortality estimates were 8-59% (mean = 26%). Individual salmon mortality risk increased significantly with body length and varied with reservoir elevation and discharge.

AB - In this study we assessed the relationship between locus of control (LOC) and accident involvement among U.S. Army aviators. Two scales reflecting internality or externality were created based on a priori assignment of items. Items were also subjected to principal components analysis, and 6 empirical scales were identified from that analysis. Correlations were computed between the 2 a priori scales, the 6 empirical scales identified by the principal components analysis, involvement in hazardous events, and recent and total career accident involvement. Several of the LOC measures correlated significantly with recent accident involvement. However, only 1 measure was correlated with career accident involvement. Applications of the results in the development of safety training interventions and the evaluation of training programs are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In response to an apparent clustering of homicides at Fort Carson, Colorado, the U.S. Army Public Health Command (formerly the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine) Behavioral and Social Health Outcomes Program conducted a multidisciplinary epidemiologic consultation to identify factors contributing to violent behavior among soldiers at Fort Carson. This article summarizes the findings of the epidemiologic consultation report as provided to the Secretary of the Army and the Fort Carson Senior Mission Commander and released in its entirety publicly July 2009 and elaborates on the mixed-methods analytic approach used to study a complex behavioral issue at the community level. To aid in answering the key study questions, six study arms were designed and carried out: (1) index case analysis, (2) confinee interviews, (3) analysis of installation-level trends, (4) retrospective cohort analysis, (5) soldier focus groups and interviews, and (6) aggression risk factors survey. Although not conclusive, the findings suggest a combination of individual, unit, and environmental factors converged to increase the risk of violent behaviors, which made clustering of negative outcomes more likely.

AB - Shock-wave experiments are performed with four different kinds of glasses of different hardness compressed at different levels. The experiments with the glass specimens consisting of layered thin plates confirm the appearance of a failure wave in elastically compressed soda lime glass, heavy flint glass, K8 crown glass, and fused quartz, although the relationships between the Hugoniot elastic limits and the failure thresholds of these glasses are different. The failure wave process could occur as the stress grows above the failure threshold up to the stress level at which plastic deformation starts. The propagation speed of the failure wave in soda lime glass depends on the stress above the failure threshold, and does not depend on the propagation distance. The failure process becomes unstable and stops at the stress level near the failure threshold. Evidence of internal friction in glass within the elastic deformation region is observed.

AB - We study the Coulombic effects of electron-hole plasma on the ground and first excited energy levels and carrier wave functions in a GaN/AlGaN quantum well (QW) structure. The coupled Schrödinger equations for electron and hole states are solved self-consistently in the Hartree-Fock approximation along with the Poisson equation. As expected, the decreasing QW width and increasing plasma density diminish the charge separation in the QW induced by the internal field, leading to the relatively reduced contribution of the Hartree interaction to the energy-level shift. In contrast, the calculation also demonstrates that the contribution of many-body effects becomes more pronounced. The resulting competition between the many-body and Hartree contributions causes a nonmonotonous dependence of the electron and hole energies on the plasma density at a given field. These findings are applied to explore the potential bistable behavior in the QW electroabsorption under near-band-edge photoexcitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Integration of Ba1-xSrxTiO3- (BST) based thin films with affordable Si substrates has a potentially significant commercial impact as the demand for high-frequency tunable devices intensifies. Utilizing a coplanar device design we have monolithically integrated, optimized, and fabricated a high-performance composite bilayer heterostructure, Si/Ta2O5/BST, whereby the base layer film Ta2O5 serves as a passive buffer layer to allow integration of BST active thin films with affordable Si substrates. Optimization of this design configuration was achieved by evaluating two heterostructure processing protocols: (1) a single-anneal and (2) a dual-anneal process protocol. The reliability susceptibility, i.e., the nonabrupt defect-laden bilayer film interface, of the single-anneal protocol deemed it inappropriate for the fabrication of this monolithic heterostructure design. In contrast, the defect-free, structurally abrupt bilayer and buffer layer film-substrate interfaces suggest the dual anneal process to be an excellent method for realizing monolithic integration of BST with affordable Si substrates. This work suggests that the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the Ta2O5 buffer and the BST thin films in the coplanar device design serves to enhance the dielectric tunability of the device. Realization of this materials integration technology serves to promote broadscale implementation of affordable tunable microwave devices across a variety of advanced communications platforms.

AB - Electrically insulated ferrous powders permit isotropic magnetic flux, lower core losses, and structural freedom for state-of-the-art electromagnetic (EM) core and device designs. Many current coating materials are limited by low melting temperatures, which leads to insufficient insulation of powders, resulting in metal-on-metal contact. Use of a high-temperature coating material, such as alumina, could alleviate these issues. In this work, iron powder was mechanically milled with alumina media, to yield plastically deformed, alumina-coated iron particles with improved magnetic saturation, elastic modulus, and hardness. Various milling times and media ball sizes are investigated to maintain particle size, insulate powders uniformly, and optimize properties after compaction and curing. We found that longer milling times yielded more dense powder coatings and lower magnetic saturation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A suspected case of sexual transmission from a male survivor of Ebola virus disease (EVD) to his female partner (the patient in this report) occurred in Liberia in March 2015. Ebola virus (EBOV) genomes assembled from blood samples from the patient and a semen sample from the survivor were consistent with direct transmission. The genomes shared three substitutions that were absent from all other Western African EBOV sequences and that were distinct from the last documented transmission chain in Liberia before this case. Combined with epidemiologic data, the genomic analysis provides evidence of sexual transmission of EBOV and evidence of the persistence of infective EBOV in semen for 179 days or more after the onset of EVD.

AB - Thirteen silicon carbide and boron carbide ceramics and ceramic composites manufactured through pressureless sintering and reaction bonding techniques have been tested in a four-point bend, chevron notch testing procedure to determine their static and dynamic fracture toughness values. Dynamic fracture toughness testing was performed in a modified Hopkinson pressure bar to investigate the effect of high-rate loading on fracture toughness values and fracture characteristics. Fracture surfaces were investigated through optical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy to examine the surface roughness and fracture morphology. Reaction-bonded ceramic composites were found to have elevated fracture toughness values compared to pressureless-sintered ceramics. This enhancement is attributed to a change in fracture mode of the reaction-bonded materials and processing-induced residual compressive stresses within the silicon phase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Commercially available woven fabrics (e.g., nylon- or PET-based fabrics) possess inherently re-entrant textures in the form of cylindrical yarns and fibers. We analyze the liquid repellency of woven and nanotextured oleophobic fabrics using a nested model with n levels of hierarchy that is constructed from modular units of cylindrical and spherical building blocks. At each level of hierarchy, the density of the topographical features is captured using a dimensionless textural parameter Dn*. For a plain-woven mesh comprised of chemically treated fiber bundles (n = 2), the tight packing of individual fibers in each bundle (D2* ≈ 1) imposes a geometric constraint on the maximum oleophobicity that can be achieved solely by modifying the surface energy of the coating. For liquid droplets contacting such tightly bundled fabrics with modified surface energies, we show that this model predicts a lower bound on the equilibrium contact angle of θE≈ 57° below which the Cassie-Baxter to Wenzel wetting transition occurs spontaneously, and this is validated experimentally. We demonstrate how the introduction of an additional higher order micro-/nanotexture onto the fibers (n = 3) is necessary to overcome this limit and create more robustly nonwetting fabrics. Finally, we show a simple experimental realization of the enhanced oleophobicity of fabrics by depositing spherical microbeads of poly(methyl methacrylate)/fluorodecyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (fluorodecyl POSS) onto the fibers of a commercial woven nylon fabric.

AB - In ReS2, a layer-independent direct band gap of 1.5 eV implies a potential for its use in optoelectronic applications. ReS2 crystallizes in the 1T'-structure, which leads to anisotropic physical properties and whose concomitant electronic structure might host a nontrivial topology. Here, we report an overall evaluation of the anisotropic Raman response and the transport properties of few-layered ReS2 field-effect transistors. We find that ReS2 exfoliated on SiO2behaves as an n-type semiconductor with an intrinsic carrier mobility surpassing µi ~ 30 cm²/(V s) at T = 300 K, which increases up to ~350 cm²/(V s) at 2 K. Semiconducting behavior is observed at low electron densities n, but at high values of n the resistivity decreases by a factor of >7 upon cooling to 2 K and displays a metallic T²-dependence. This suggests that the band structure of 1T'-ReS2 is quite susceptible to an electric field applied perpendicularly to the layers. The electric-field induced metallic state observed in transition metal dichalcogenides was recently claimed to result from a percolation type of transition. Instead, through a scaling analysis of the conductivity as a function of T and n, we find that the metallic state of ReS2results from a second-order metal-to-insulator transition driven by electronic correlations. This gate-induced metallic state offers an alternative to phase engineering for producing ohmic contacts and metallic interconnects in devices based on transition metal dichalcogenides.

AB - We report on a novel type of triblock copolymer polymersomes with temperature-controlled permeability within the physiologically relevant temperature range of 37-42 °C for sustained delivery of anticancer drugs. These polymersomes combine characteristics of liposomes, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, monodispersity, and stability at room temperature, with tunable size and thermal responsiveness provided by amphiphilic triblock copolymers. The temperature-sensitive poly(N-vinylcaprolactam)n-poly(dimethylsiloxane)65-poly(N-vinylcaprolactam)n (PVCLn-PDMS65-PVCLn) copolymers with n = 10, 15, 19, 29, and 50 and polydispersity indexes less than 1.17 are synthesized by controlled RAFT polymerization. The copolymers are assembled into stable vesicles at room temperature when the ratio of PVCL to the total polymer mass is 0.36 < f < 0.52 with the polymersome diameter decreasing from 530 to 40 nm as the length of PVCL is increased from 10 to 19 monomer units. Importantly, the permeability of polymersomes loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin can be precisely controlled by PVCL length in the temperature range of 37-42 °C. Increasing the temperature above the lower critical solution temperature of PVCL results in either gradual vesicle shrinkage (n = 10 and n = 15) or reversible formation of beadlike aggregates with no size change (n = 19), both leading to sustained drug release. All temperature-triggered morphological changes are reversible and do not compromise the structural stability of the vesicles. Finally, concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxicity of drug-loaded polymersomes to human alveolar adenocarcinoma cells is demonstrated. Considering the high loading capacity (~40%) and temperature responsiveness in the physiological range, these polymer vesicles have considerable potential as novel types of stimuli-responsive drug nanocarriers.

AB - The typically stable Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 were treated with tetrafluoromethane (CF4) and hexafluoroethane (C2F6) plasmas. Through interactions between fluoride radicals from the perfluoroalkane plasma and the zirconium-oxygen bonds of the MOF, the resulting materials showed the development of mesoporosity, creating a hierarchical pore structure. It is anticipated that this strategy can be used as a post-synthetic technique for developing hierarchical networks in a variety of MOFs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - High entropy alloy is a new class of structural metallic materials. No work, so far, has been carried-out to understand high strain-rate plastic deformation behavior and resulting microstructure. This work focuses on understanding the deformation behavior of an Al0.1CrFeCoNi HEA at high strain-rate (HSR). HSR plastic deformation in compression mode was carried out using split-Hopkinson pressure bar. The pre- and post-deformation microstructures were studied using electron microscopes. A high strain-rate sensitivity of yield strength, significant work hardening, and profuse twinning are main characteristics observed during deformation of the alloy at HSR. Overall, the deformation behavior of the alloy was consistent with low stacking fault energy materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The present work aims at characterizing a metal matrix syntactic foam core sandwich composite under three-point bending conditions. The sandwich comprises alumina hollow particle reinforced A356 alloy syntactic foam with carbon fabric skins. Crack initiation in the tensile side of the specimen causing failure of the skin, followed by rapid failure of the core in the direction applied load, is observed as the failure mechanism. Crack propagation through the alumina particles is observed in the failed specimens instead of interfacial failure. The average maximum strength, flexural strain and stiffness were measured as 91.2 ± 5.6 MPa, 0.49 ± 0.06% and 20.6 ± 0.7 GPa respectively. The collapse load is theoretically predicted using mechanics of sandwich beams. Experimental values show good agreement with theoretical predictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Corrosion data provided under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions as well as tin whisker growth studies are explained by differences in the surface energy of lattice planes within the crystal structure of β -tin. For this purpose, electrodeposited tin finishes were investigated regarding their microstructure utilizing X-ray diffraction, cross-sectional SEM and EBSD analyses. The corrosion as well as the tin whisker propensity strongly depends on the preferred orientation of the surface finishes. With an increasing texture along the (211) lattice plane a decreasing corrosion and whisker propensity were observed, on the contrary, the presence of the (101) and (112) textures results in an increased corrosion and whisker propensity. The maximum whisker length was reduced by one order of magnitude by changing the preferred orientation towards the (211) lattice plane of the tin finish. Modified embedded atom method simulations of tin surfaces demonstrate the minimization of the surface energy of (211) surfaces, whereas the surface energies of the (101) and (112) Miller planes are increased. We find a strong connection between the minimization of surface energy and the corrosion and tin whisker propensity of electrodeposited tin finishes. To our best knowledge, this is the first study connecting the influence of the electrodeposition parameters on the corrosion and whisker propensity explained by calculations of the surface energies of the corresponding crystal faces. The applied parameters for electrodeposition influence the grain orientation and thus the surface energy of the tin layers which affects both the corrosion as well as the tin whisker propensity.

AB - Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHWMPE) fiber-based composites are employed in a variety of Soldier protection systems due to their impressive specific strength and elastic wave speed. However, as UHMWPE composites rely on their tenacity to decelerate the projectile impact, even in successfully arrested impacts issues arise with the blunt deformation trauma generated due to high deformation of the material into the Soldier. In this experiment, UHMWPE composite laminates employing two widely different laminate architectures, [0°/90°] and ARL X Hybrid, were evaluated to assess the effect of panel architecture on impact pressures generated in non-penetrating ballistic impact events. Panels were impacted with 7.62 mm lead core projectiles on a testing platform designed for the physics-based evaluation of BHBT of helmet materials. Composite panel deformation for the [0°/90°] configuration impacted the testing frame at velocities 2.2× higher than the ARL X Hybrid specimens, leading to a 526% higher average maximum pressure amplitude measured on the BHBT platform (45.5 ± 19.1 MPa and 7.3 ± 3.3 MPa for [0°/90°] and ARL X Hybrid, respectively), demonstrating the effectiveness of ARL X Hybrid in mitigating non-penetrating ballistic impact stress. The experiment has provided critical insight into non-penetrating small arms impact stresses and the role materials, materials processing, and materials design influence non-penetrating blunt trauma response.

AB - A meshfree formulation under the reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM) was introduced for modeling the penetration and perforation of brittle geomaterials such as concrete. RKPM provides a robust framework to effectively model the projectile-target interaction and the material failure and fragmentation behaviors that are critical for this class of problems. A stabilized semi-Lagrangian formulation, in conjunction with a multiscale material damage model for brittle geomaterials and a kernel contact algorithm, were introduced for penetration modeling. In this work, the accuracy of the meshfree impact and penetration formulation was studied using a series of large-caliber projectile concrete slab perforation experiments with impact velocities in the ballistic regime. These experiments were selected due to the challenging nature of concrete perforation, and the results were used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method to model the penetration processes and the concrete target failure. Simulation results confirm the formulation's accuracy for this type of high-rate ballistic problem and establish a basis for extension to other types of impact problems. The results show the importance of properly formulating the method of domain integration to maintain accuracy in the presence of concrete fragmentation, and also highlight the method's ability to capture the fragmentation response without a need for non-physical treatments commonly used in conventional methods.

AB - Recent experimentation with the variants of the Ebola virus that differ in the glycoprotein's poly-uridine site, which dictates the form of glycoprotein produced through a transcriptional stutter, has resulted in questions regarding the pathogenicity and lethality of the stocks used to develop products currently undergoing human clinical trials to combat the disease. In order to address these concerns and prevent the delay of these critical research programs, we designed an experiment that permitted us to intramuscularly challenge statistically significant numbers of naïve and vaccinated cynomolgus macaques with either a 7U or 8U variant of the Ebola virus, Kikwit isolate. In naïve animals, no difference in survivorship was observed; however, there was a significant delay in the disease course between the two groups. Significant differences were also observed in time-of-fever, serum chemistry, and hematology. In vaccinated animals, there was no statistical difference in survivorship between either challenge groups, with two succumbing in the 7U group compared to 1 in the 8U challenge group. In summary, survivorship was not affected, but the Ebola virus disease course in nonhuman primates is temporally influenced by glycoprotein poly-U editing site populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In recent models, the neutron-rich Ni isotopes around N = 40 are predicted to exhibit multiple low-energy excited 0+ states attributed to neutron and proton excitations across both the N = 40 and Z = 28 shell gaps. In 68Ni, the three observed 0+ states have been interpreted in terms of triple shape coexistence between spherical, oblate, and prolate deformed shapes. In the present work a new (02+) state at an energy of 1567 keV has been discovered in 70Ni by using /S-delayed, y-ray spectroscopy following the decay of 70Co. The precipitous drop in the energy of the prolate-deformed 0+ level between 68Ni and 70Ni with the addition of two neutrons compares favorably with results of Monte Carlo shell-model calculations carried out in the large fpg9/2d5/2 β model space, which predict a 02+ state at 1525 keV in 70Ni. The result extends the shape-coexistence picture in the region to ™Ni and confirms the importance of the role of the tensor component of the monopole interaction in describing the structure of neutron-rich nuclei.

AB - Hydren, JR and Cohen, BS. Current scientific evidence for a polarized cardiovascular endurance training model. J Strength Cond Res 29(12): 3523-3530, 2015—Recent publications have provided new scientific evidence for a modern aerobic or cardiovascular endurance exercise prescription that optimizes the periodization cycle and maximizes potential endurance performance gains in highly trained individuals. The traditional threshold, high volume, and high-intensity training models have displayed limited improvement in actual race pace in (highly) trained individuals while frequently resulting in overreaching or overtraining (physical injury and psychological burnout). A review of evidence for replacing these models with the proven polarized training model seems warranted. This review provides a short history of the training models, summarizes 5 key studies, and provides example training programs for both the pre- and in-season periods. A polarized training program is characterized by an undulating nonlinear periodization model with nearly all the training time spent at a “light” (#13) and “very hard” ($17) pace with very limited time at “hard” (14-16) or race pace (6-20 Rating of Perceived Exertion [RPE] scale). To accomplish this, the polarization training model has specific high-intensity workouts separated by one or more long slow distance workouts, with the exercise intensity remaining below ventilatory threshold (VT) 1 and/or blood lactate of less than 2 mM (A.K.A. below race pace). Effect sizes for increasing aerobic endurance performance for the polarized training model are consistently superior to that of the threshold training model. Performing a polarized training program may be best accomplished by: going easy on long slow distance workouts, avoiding “race pace” and getting after it during interval workouts.

AB - A series of bulk nanostructured Fe–Ni–Zr oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloys were synthesized using high energy mechanical alloying and consolidated using high temperature equal channel angular extrusion. The resultant microstructures are composed of nano/ultrafine or micrometer-sized grains with larger intermetallic precipitates and small Zr oxide clusters (<10 nm diameter, measured and confirmed by atom probe tomography). The ODS alloys possess elevated compression properties, e.g., 1.2 and 2.4 GPa compressive yield stress at room temperature for samples consolidated at 700 °C and 1000 °C, respectively. This work highlights the relationship between processing, microstructure, and properties for this class of ferritic ODS alloys. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Given the complexities of today’s workplace, organizations and agencies are progressively turning toward interdependent systems comprised of teams, or multiteam systems (MTSs), to accomplish multifaceted tasks in challenging environments. Subsequently, MTSs have grown in popularity in group and team research, spanning a breath of disciplines (psychology, organizational behavior, human factors, communication, and medicine). In this review, our goal is to highlight the existing research across a range of disciplines regarding MTSs that serves to answer the question, “What do we know about MTSs?” while also developing a future research agenda aimed at answering the question, “Where does our research need to go to better understand MTSs?” We specifically highlight the current trends, dynamics, and methodological issues in MTSs to further build the foundation for improving MTS effectiveness.

AB - Background: To date, there are no reviews on machine learning (ML) in burn care. Considering the growth of ML in medicine and the complexities and challenges of burn care, this review specializes on ML applications in burn care. The objective was to examine the features and impact of applications in targeting various aspects of burn care and research.Methods: MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ScienceDirect, and citation review of relevant primary and review articles were searched for studies involving burn care/research and machine learning. Data were abstracted on study design, study size, year, population, application of burn care/research, ML technique(s), and algorithm performance.Results: 15 retrospective observational studies involving burn patients met inclusion criteria. In total 5105 patients with acute thermal injury, 171 clinical burn wounds, 180 9-mer peptides, and 424 12-mer peptides were included in the studies. Studies focused on burn diagnosis (n=5), aminoglycoside response (n=3), hospital length of stay (n=2), survival/mortality (n=4), burn healing time (n=1), and antimicrobial peptides in burn patients (n=1). Of these 15 studies, 11 used artificial neural networks. Importantly, all studies demonstrated the benefits of ML in burn care/research and superior performance over traditional statistical methods. However, algorithm performance was assessed differently by different authors. Feature selection varied among studies, but studies with similar applications shared specific features including age, gender, presence of inhalation injury, total body surface area burned, and when available, various degrees of burns, infections, and previous histories/conditions of burn patients.Conclusion: A common feature base may be determined for ML in burn care/research, but the impact of ML will require further validation in prospective observational studies and randomized clinical trials, establishment of common performance metrics, and high quality evidence about clinical and economic impacts. Only then can ML applications be advanced and accepted widely in burn care/research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Introduction: Cutaneous allograft is commonly used in the early coverage of excised burns when autograft is unavailable. However, allograft is also applied in intermediate-extent burns (25-50%), during cases in which it is possible to autograft. In this population, there is a paucity of data on the indications for allograft use. This study explores the indications for allograft usage in moderate size burns.Methods: Under an IRB-approved protocol, patients admitted to our burn unit between March 2003 and December 2010 were identified through a review of the burn registry. Data on allograft use, total burn surface area, operation performed, operative intent, number of operations, intensive care unit length of stay, and overall length of stay were collected and analyzed. Data are presented as means±standard deviations, except where noted.Results: In the study period, 146 patients received allograft during their acute hospitalization. Twenty-five percent of allograft recipients sustained intermediate-extent burns. Patients with intermediate-extent burns received allograft later in their hospitalization than those with large-extent (50-75% TBSA) burns (6.8 days vs. 3.4 days, p=0.01). Allografted patients with intermediate-extent burns underwent more operations (10.8 vs. 6.1, p=0.002) and had longer hospitalizations (78.3 days vs. 40.9 days, p<0.001) than non-allografted patients, when controlled for TBSA. Clinical rationale for placement of allograft in this population included autograft failure, uncertain depth of excision, lack of autograft donor site, and wound complexity. When uncertain depth of excision was the indication, allograft was universally applied onto the face. In half of allografted intermediate-extent burn patients the inability to identify a viable recipient bed was the ultimate reason for allograft use.Conclusions: Unlike large body surface area burns, allograft skin use in intermediate-extent injury occurs later in the hospitalization and is driven by the inability to determine wound bed suitability for autograft application. Allograft application can be utilized to test recipient site viability in cases of autograft failure or uncertain depth of excision. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study focused on investigation of the tautomeric properties of nitroguanidine (NQ), an energetic material, using theoretical approaches for NQ in both the gas phase and in aqueous solution. Density functional method (M062X) was used to estimate physical and chemical properties of NQ tautomers. Two different solvent models (CPCM and PCM) and two basis sets (6-31G( d, p) and 6-31 + G( d, p)) were utilized. A ranking of the stability order of the tautomers was predicted based on changes in Gibbs free energy values and were generally found to be in good agreement with previous theoretical and experimental studies. Electronic properties including dipole moment, electron affinity, ionization potential and charges of NQ were predicted in both gas and aqueous phases. In order to analyze NQ behavior in aqueous solution, several properties were calculated. Deprotonating as well as protonating of NQ revealed positive energies indicating that those processes are rather unfavorable and further characterized NQ as a compound with weak acid-base properties. We have calculated pK and pK values using data obtained from quantum chemical calculations using CPCM and COSMO-RS approaches. The COSMO-RS approach was able to reproduce experimental values with high accuracy, while the results obtained with CPCM method significantly differ from values obtained experimentally.

AB - This study focuses on elucidating the stable forms of a new energetic material that is a member of the class of insensitive munitions (IM), 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3 H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (NTO), including its tautomers, and anions. The geometry and properties of all compounds were calculated using density functional theory (M06-2X) and MP2 quantum chemical approaches. Calculations were carried out in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. Chemical stability of these compounds was evaluated in terms of the Gibbs free energy change. Two different solvation models were applied (CPCM and PCM). Calculations showed that overall differences in the results obtained using these two solvation models are negligible for all compounds considered. All possible NTO tautomers were examined and the results are in good agreement with previous studies performed in the gas phase. The stability order was revealed to be slightly dependent on the method applied. In order to estimate acidic properties of NTO, anions of several NTO tautomers were analyzed. In addition, p K values were calculated using different approaches. As compared with available experimental data it was found that the conductor-like screening model for real solvents approach leads to more accurate estimation of the p K value than the CPCM and PCM approaches. The p K value calculated using PCM and CPCM data showed large errors; however, it was proven that the pattern of deprotonation energy was correctly estimated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Void strengthening in crystalline materials refers to the increase in yield stress due to the impediment of dislocation motion by voids. Dislocation dynamics (DD) is a modeling method well suited to capture the physics, length scales, and time scales associated with void strengthening. However, previous DD simulation of dislocation–void interactions have been unable to accurately account for the strong image forces acting on the dislocation due to the void’s free surface. In this article, we employ a finite-element-based DD method to determine the obstacle strength of voids, defined as the critical resolved shear stress for a dislocation to glide past an array of voids. Our results demonstrate that the attractive image forces between the dislocation and free surface significantly reduce the obstacle strength of voids. Effects of surface mobility and stress concentrations around the void are also explored and are shown to have minimal effect on the critical stress. Finally, a new model relating void size and spacing to obstacle strength is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We consider the one-dimensional impact problem in which a semi-infinite flyer collides with (and adheres to) the front face of a stationary target plate of finite thickness, with the back face of the target bonded to another semi-infinite medium. All three bodies are assumed to be linear elastic and homogeneous. Our interest is in explicit expressions for the stress and velocity in the target at all times after impact. The analysis of this problem is simplified by reducing it to an initial-boundary value problem for the target only, which is solved by combining the d’Alembert solution of the wave equation with the Laplace transform method. An appropriate impact boundary condition is required on the front face of the target. In the literature this is usually taken as a prescribed step in stress or velocity, but the correct boundary condition involves a linear combination of the unknown stress and velocity at the impact face. Our solutions are expressed in an apparently new, compact form involving the floor (or greatest-integer) function. The results are amenable to asymptotic analysis; in particular, solutions for stress-free or rigid back faces follow easily as limiting cases of the backing impedance, and the long-time asymptotes of stress and velocity in the target are seen to be independent of the target’s elastic properties. All of our results are corroborated by derivation of exact discrete solutions from recursive equations for the impact problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - To further our understanding of the linkages among wildfire, streamflow pathways, and water chemistry, we used a network of water-quality sensors and streamflow gages to assess initial and long-term effects of wildfire along a river continuum. We assessed water quality of a 2nd- and a 4th-order stream in a single watershed for 5 monsoon seasons before, during, and after a catastrophic wildfire. Fire had significant and sustained long-term effects on both streams. In the 2nd-order stream, variability in dissolved O2 (DO) increased after the fire. Daily total precipitation was unchanged, but episodic storm events resulted in significant increases in stream discharge that led to elevated turbidity and specific conductance (SC). In the 4th-order stream, fire led to minimal measurable effects on turbidity, elevated SC, and greater variability of the DO signal. We also assessed water-quality data from 4 sites along the river continuum for a 4-mo period before, during, and after the wildfire. Large overland and debris-flow events in the 1st- and 2nd-order streams resulted in elevated particles (e.g., soil, sediment, rock, ash, plant biomass) and solutes in transport that elevated turbidity and SC and damped the DO signal. We documented less severe postfire effects in the 3rd-order stream probably because of groundwater contributions and a higher stream gradient with a pool-riffle geomorphology. We observed nominal changes in turbidity, strong SC spikes, and strong DO decreases in the 4th-order stream. Streamflow pathways, geomorphology, physiochemical properties, and biogeochemical processes play a central role in the postfire waterquality response along the river continuum. Our findings highlight the importance of collecting water-quality measurements at temporal and spatial scales that effectively capture hydrological dynamics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Anecdotal reports in the press and epidemiological studies suggest that deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan may be associated with respiratory diseases and symptoms in U.S. military personnel and veterans. Exposures during military operations were complex, but virtually all service members were exposed to high levels of respirable, geogenic dust. Inhalation of other dusts has been shown to be associated with adverse health effects, but the pulmonary toxicity of ambient dust from Iraq has not been previously studied. The relative toxicity of Camp Victory dust was evaluated by comparing it to particulate matter from northern Kuwait, a standard U.S. urban dust, and crystalline silica using a single intratracheal instillation in rats. Lung histology, protein levels, and cell counts were evaluated in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid 1–150 d later. The Iraq dust provoked an early significant, acute inflammatory response. However, the level of inflammation in response to the Iraq dust, U.S. urban dust, and Kuwait dust rapidly declined and was nearly at control levels by the end of the study At later times, animals exposed to the Iraq, U.S. urban, or Kuwait dusts showed increased small airway remodeling and emphysema compared to silica-exposed and control animals without evidence of fibrosis or premalignant changes. The severity and persistence of pulmonary toxicity of these three dusts from the Middle East resemble those of a U.S. urban dust and are less than those of silica. Therefore, Iraq dust exposure is not highly toxic, but similar to other poorly soluble low-toxicity dusts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Traditionally, insulin bolus calculations for managing postprandial glucose levels in individuals with type 1 diabetes rely solely on the carbohydrate content of a meal. However, recent studies have reported that other macronutrients in a meal can alter the insulin required for good postprandial control. Specifically, studies have shown that high-fat (HF) meals require more insulin than low-fat (LF) meals with identical carbohydrate content. Our objective was to assess the mechanisms underlying the higher insulin requirement observed in one of these studies.Materials and Methods: We used a combination of previously validated metabolic models to fit data from a study comparing HF and LF dinners with identical carbohydrate content in seven subjects with type 1 diabetes. For each subject and dinner type, we estimated the model parameters representing the time of peak meal-glucose appearance (τ(m)), insulin sensitivity (S(I)), the net hepatic glucose balance, and the glucose effect at zero insulin in four time windows (dinner, early night, late night, and breakfast) and assessed the differences in model parameters via paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.Results: During the HF meal, the τ(m) was significantly delayed (mean and standard error [SE]: 102 [14] min vs. 71 [4] min; P = 0.02), and S(I) was significantly lower (7.25 × 10(-4) [1.29 × 10(-4)] mL/μU/min vs. 8.72 × 10(-4) [1.08 × 10(-4)] mL/μU/min; P = 0.02).Conclusions: In addition to considering the putative delay in gastric emptying associated with HF meals, we suggest that clinicians reviewing patient records consider that the fat content of these meals may alter S(I).

AB - We analyze the first color and polarization images of Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) taken during two measurement campaigns of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) on UTC 2013 April 10 and May 8, when the phase angles of Comet ISON were α ≈13.7° and 12.2°, respectively. We model the particles in the coma using highly irregular agglomerated debris particles. Even though the observations were made over a small range of phase angle, the data still place significant constraints on the material properties of the cometary coma. The different photo-polarimetric responses are indicative of spatial chemical heterogeneity of coma in Comet ISON. For instance, at small projected distances to the nucleus (<500 km), our modeling suggests the cometary particles are composed predominantly of small, highly absorbing particles, such as amorphous carbon and/or organics material heavily irradiated with UV radiation; whereas, at longer projected distances (>1000 km), the refractive index of the particles is consistent with organic matter slightly processed with UV radiation, tholins, Mg−Fe silicates, and/or Mg-rich silicates contaminated with ~10% (by volume) amorphous carbon. The modeling suggests low relative abundances of particles with low material absorption in the visible, i.e., Im( m )≤0.02. Such particles were detected unambiguously in other comets in the vicinity of nucleus through very strong negative polarization near backscattering ( P ≈−6%) and very low positive polarization ( P ≈3–5%) at side scattering. These materials were previously attributed to Mg-rich silicates forming a refractory surface layer on the surface of cometary nuclei ( Zubko et al., 2012 ). The absence of such particles in Comet ISON could imply an absence of such a layer on its nucleus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - During hurricane events, moored barges are at risk of being propelled by high winds and impacting flood protection walls in the vicinity. Cities like New Orleans, Louisiana are at particular risk for such hazards, due to the preponderance of canals and moored barges throughout the city combined with high hurricane risk. Unfortunately, limited information is available to estimate the magnitude of barge impact loads for the design of floodwalls. In this paper, forces associated with hurricane-wind-propelled barge impacts on floodwalls are quantified using high-resolution dynamic finite element simulations. Such simulations account for highly nonlinear material deformation in the impacting barge, nonlinear soil response, and dynamic interaction between the barge, wall, and soil. The paper presents force histories for a variety of representative impact scenarios which can be used directly in dynamic analysis of floodwalls. Additional guidance is provided for employing the force results in static design scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: During the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, 52,087 service members have been wounded in combat. The long-term sequelae of these injuries have not been carefully examined. We sought to determine the relation between markers of injury severity and the subsequent development of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease.Methods and Results: Retrospective cohort study of critically injured US military personnel wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan from February 1, 2002 to February 1, 2011. Patients were then followed until January 18, 2013. Chronic disease outcomes were assessed by International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition codes and causes of death were confirmed by autopsy. From 6011 admissions, records were excluded because of missing data or if they were for an individual's second admission. Patients with a disease diagnosis of interest before the injury date were also excluded, yielding a cohort of 3846 subjects for analysis. After adjustment for other factors, each 5-point increment in the injury severity score was associated with a 6%, 13%, 13%, and 15% increase in incidence rates of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease, respectively. Acute kidney injury was associated with a 66% increase in rates of hypertension and nearly 5-fold increase in rates of chronic kidney disease.Conclusions: In Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, the severity of combat injury was associated with the subsequent development of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease.

AB - Multiple injury-causing mechanisms, such as wave propagation, skull flexure, cavitation, and head acceleration, have been proposed to explain blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI). An accurate, quantitative description of the individual contribution of each of these mechanisms may be necessary to develop preventive strategies against bTBI. However, to date, despite numerous experimental and computational studies of bTBI, this question remains elusive. In this study, using a two-dimensional (2D) rat head model, we quantified the contribution of head acceleration to the biomechanical response of brain tissues when exposed to blast waves in a shock tube. We compared brain pressure at the coup, middle, and contre-coup regions between a 2D rat head model capable of simulating all mechanisms (i.e., the all-effects model) and an acceleration-only model. From our simulations, we determined that head acceleration contributed 36^15% of the maximum brain pressure at the coup region, had a negligible effect on the pressure at the middle region, and was responsible 'Corresponding author.

Our findings also demonstrate that the current practice of measuring rat brain pressures close to the center of the brain would record only two-thirds of the maximum pressure observed at the coup region. Therefore, to accurately capture the effects of acceleration in experiments, we recommend placing a pressure sensor near the coup region, especially when investigating the acceleration mechanism using different experimental setups.

AB - Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) such as sarin and soman are some of the most toxic chemicals synthesized by man. They exert toxic effects by inactivating acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and bind secondary target protein. Organophosphorus compounds are hemi-substrates for enzymes of the serine hydrolase superfamily. Enzymes can be engineered by amino acid substitution into OP-hydrolyzing variants (bioscavengers) and used as therapeutics. Some enzymes associated with lipoproteins, such as human plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (pPAF-AH), are also inhibited by OPs; these proteins have largely been ignored for engineering purposes because of complex interfacial kinetics and a lack of structural data. We have expressed active human pPAF-AH in bacteria and previously solved the crystal structure of this enzyme with OP adducts. Using these structures as a guide, we created histidine mutations near the active site of pPAF-AH (F322H, W298H, L153H) in an attempt to generate novel OP-hydrolase activity. Wild-type pPAF-AH, L153H, and F322H have essentially no hydrolytic activity against the nerve agents tested. In contrast, the W298H mutant displayed novel somanase activity with a k cat of 5 min − 1 and a K M of 590 μM at pH 7.5. There was no selective preference for hydrolysis of any of the four soman stereoisomers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - To expand the applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at macroscale, a heteroatom doping technique has been employed to fabricate isotropic 3-D CNT architectures by inducing elbow-like covalent junctions into multiwalled CNTs. As the junctions modify the topology of each CNT by favoring the stable bends in CNTs, junction stiffness and the consequence of junction-related morphology changes in sponge's hyperelasticity remain largely elusive. In this study, two types of 3-D multiwalled CNT sponges were fabricated by inducing boron-doped or nitrogen-doped covalent junctions into CNTs. Hyperelastic properties of the sponges were experimentally quantified as the functions of CNT morphology. A novel microstructure informed continuum constitutive law was developed specifically for such isotropic CNT sponges with junctions. Analyzing the experimental data with the new theory demonstrated that, for the first time, the effective modulus of boron-doped junctions (∼100 GPa) is higher than that of nitrogen-doped junctions (∼20 GPa), and the junction stiffness is a key factor in regulating the hyperelastic compressive modulus of the material. Theoretical analysis further revealed that increased number of junctions and shorter segments on each individual CNT chain would result in stronger hyperelastic 3-D CNT networks. This study has established a fundamental knowledge base to provide guidance for the future design and fabrication of 3-D CNT macrostructures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objective: Threat monitoring facilitates survival by allowing one to efficiently and accurately detect potential threats. Traumatic events can disrupt healthy threat monitoring, inducing biased and unstable threat-related attention deployment. Recent research suggests that greater attention bias variability, that is, attention fluctuations alternating toward and away from threat, occurs in participants with PTSD relative to healthy comparison subjects who were either exposed or not exposed to traumatic events. The current study extends findings on attention bias variability in PTSD.Method: Previous measurement of attention bias variability was refined by employing a moving average technique. Analyses were conducted across seven independent data sets; in each, data on attention bias variability were collected by using variants of the dot-probe task. Trauma-related and anxiety symptoms were evaluated across samples by using structured psychiatric interviews and widely used self-report questionnaires, as specified for each sample.Results: Analyses revealed consistent evidence of greater attention bias variability in patients with PTSD following various types of traumatic events than in healthy participants, participants with social anxiety disorder, and participants with acute stress disorder. Moreover, threat-related, and not positive, attention bias variability was correlated with PTSD severity.Conclusions: These findings carry possibilities for using attention bias variability as a specific cognitive marker of PTSD and for tailoring protocols for attention bias modification for this disorder.

AB - Extended Column Tests (ECTs) are used to assess crack initiation and propagation. Previous research shows that tests 90 cm in length may propagate, suggesting instability, while tests 2 m in length may not propagate, suggesting stability, for identical snowpacks. A practical question is: are 90 cm ECTs optimal for assessing stability? To test the added value of 2 m ECTs for stability evaluation, we collected data on 220 ECTs, with 136 side-by-side standard length ECTPs (full propagation indicating instability) followed by 2 m ECTs. We only performed 2 m ECTs after a standard ECT propagated because we assumed 2 m ECTs would not propagate if standard length tests did not. These tests were preceded by an a priori stability assessment. Our results show imbalances for both tests. The ECT had a similar probability of detection (0.88–0.92, POD), i.e. the ability to detect unstable conditions, as in previous studies, but a much lower probability of null events (0.54–0.75, PON), i.e. the ability to detect stable conditions, with variation due to the binary classification of “Fair” stability as stable or unstable. Adding a 2 m test after an ECTP result lowered the POD (0.49–0.58), but substantially raised the PON (0.88–0.98) of the combined tests. The proportion of tests in agreement, i.e. ECTP and 2 m ECTP, increases with decreasing stability. We conclude that an ECTP followed by a 2 m ECTP is a clear red flag, indicating instability. The interpretation of an ECTP followed by a 2 m ECTN/X (no propagation) is not clear. Though this result suggests stability, a high potential for a false stable result means we cannot recommend the 2 m ECT for binary stability assessments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The distribution of snow depth in avalanche starting zones exerts a strong influence on avalanche potential and character. Extreme depth changes over short distances are common, especially in wind-affected, above-treeline environments. Snow depth also affects the ease of avalanche triggering. Experience shows that avalanche reduction efforts are often more successful when targeting shallow trigger point areas near deeper slabs with explosives or ski cutting. Our paper explores the use of high-resolution (cm scale) snow depth and snow depth change maps from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data to quantify loading patterns for use in both pre-control planning and in post-control assessment. We present results from a pilot study in three study areas at the Arapahoe Basin ski area in Colorado, USA. A snow-free reference data set was collected in a summer TLS survey. Mapping multiple times during the snow season allowed us to produce time series maps of snow depth and snow depth change at high resolution to explore depth and slab thickness variations due to wind redistribution. We conducted surveys before and after loading events and control work, allowing the exploration of loading patterns, slab thickness, shot and ski cut locations, bed surfaces, entrainment, and avalanche characteristics. We also evaluate the state of TLS for use in operational avalanche control settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides have emerged as a promising material systemfor optoelectronic applications, but their primary figure of merit, the room-temperature photoluminescence quantum yield (QY), is extremely low. The prototypical 2D material molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is reported to have a maximum QYof 0.6%, which indicates a considerable defect density. Here we report on an air-stable, solution-based chemical treatment by an organic superacid, which uniformly enhances the photoluminescence and minority carrier lifetime of MoS2 monolayers by more than two orders of magnitude. The treatment eliminates defect-mediated nonradiative recombination, thus resulting in a final QYofmore than 95%, with a longest-observed lifetime of 10.8 0.6 nanoseconds. Our ability to obtain optoelectronic monolayers with near-perfect properties opens the door for the development of highly efficient light-emitting diodes, lasers, and solar cells based on 2D materials.

AB - Lithium-ion batteries raise safety, environmental, and cost concerns, which mostly arise from their nonaqueous electrolytes. The use of aqueous alternatives is limited by their narrow electrochemical stability window (1.23 volts), which sets an intrinsic limit on the practical voltage and energy output.We report a highly concentrated aqueous electrolyte whose window was expanded to ~3.0 volts with the formation of an electrode-electrolyte interphase. A full lithium-ion battery of 2.3 volts using such an aqueous electrolyte was demonstrated to cycle up to 1000 times, with nearly 100% coulombic efficiency at both low (0.15 coulomb) and high (4.5 coulombs) discharge and charge rates.

However, decisions made when navigating such features and their consequences remain largely unknown due to technological limitations of tracking small animals over large areas. We used automated radio telemetry to track three songbird species (Red-eyed Vireo, Swainson's Thrush, Wood Thrush) from coastal Alabama to the northern Yucatan Peninsula (YP) during fall migration. Detecting songbirds after crossing ~1,000 km of open water allowed us to examine intrinsic (age, wing length, fat) and extrinsic (weather, date) variables shaping departure decisions, arrival at the YP, and crossing times. Large fat reserves and low humidity, indicative of beneficial synoptic weather patterns, favored southward departure across the Gulf. Individuals detected in the YP departed with large fat reserves and later in the fall with profitable winds, and flight durations (mean = 22.4 h) were positively related to wind profit. Age was not related to departure behavior, arrival, or travel time. However, vireos negotiated the GOM differently than thrushes, including different departure decisions, lower probability of detection in the YP, and longer crossing times. Defense of winter territories by thrushes but not vireos and species-specific foraging habits may explain the divergent migratory behaviors. Fat reserves appear extremely important to departure decisions and arrival in the YP. As habitat along the GOM is degraded, birds may be limited in their ability to acquire fat to cross the Gulf.

AB - The incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the United States was 3.5 million cases in 2009, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is a contributing factor in 30.5% of injury-related deaths among civilians. Additionally, since 2000, more than 260,000 service members were diagnosed with TBI, with the vast majority classified as mild or concussive (76%). The objective assessment of TBI via imaging is a critical research gap, both in the military and civilian communities. In 2011, the Department of Defense (DoD) prepared a congressional report summarizing the effectiveness of seven neuroimaging modalities (computed tomography [CT], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], transcranial Doppler [TCD], positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, electrophysiologic techniques [magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography], and functional near-infrared spectroscopy) to assess the spectrum of TBI from concussion to coma. For this report, neuroimaging experts identified the most relevant peer-reviewed publications and assessed the quality of the literature for each of these imaging technique in the clinical and research settings. Although CT, MRI, and TCD were determined to be the most useful modalities in the clinical setting, no single imaging modality proved sufficient for all patients due to the heterogeneity of TBI. All imaging modalities reviewed demonstrated the potential to emerge as part of future clinical care. This paper describes and updates the results of the DoD report and also expands on the use of angiography in patients with TBI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We show rigorously that the solutions of a class of chaotic oscillators are characterized by regularly timed events in which the derivative of the solution is instantaneously zero. The perfect regularity of these events is in stark contrast with the well-known unpredictability of chaos. We explore some consequences of these regularly timed events through experiments using chaotic electronic circuits. First, we show that a feedback loop can be implemented to phase lock the regularly timed events to a periodic external signal. In this arrangement the external signal regulates the timing of the chaotic signal but does not strictly lock its phase. That is, phase slips of the chaotic oscillation persist without disturbing timing of the regular events. Second, we couple the regularly timed events of one chaotic oscillator to those of another. A state of synchronization is observed where the oscillators exhibit synchronized regular events while their chaotic amplitudes and phases evolve independently. Finally, we add additional coupling to synchronize the amplitudes, as well, however in the opposite direction illustrating the independence of the amplitudes from the regularly timed events.

AB - The nerve agent VX is among the most toxic chemicals known to mankind, and robust solutions are needed to rapidly and selectively deactivate it. Herein, we demonstrate that three Zr6-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), namely, UiO-67, UiO-67-NH2, and UiO-67-N(Me)2, are selective and highly active catalysts for the hydrolysis of VX. Utilizing UiO-67, UiO-67-NH2, and UiO-67-N(Me)2 in a pH 10 buffered solution of N-ethylmorpholine, selective hydrolysis of the P-S bond in VX was observed. In addition, UiO-67-N(Me)2 was found to catalyze VX hydrolysis with an initial half-life of 1.8 min. This half-life is nearly 3 orders of magnitude shorter than that of the only other MOF tested to date for hydrolysis of VX and rivals the activity of the best nonenzymatic materials. Hydrolysis utilizing Zr-based MOFs is also selective and facile in the absence of pH 10 buffer (just water) and for the destruction of the toxic byproduct EA-2192. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The study of graphene nanosheet (GNS)–gold nanoparticle (AuNP)–carbon paste electrode (GNS–AuNP–CPE) as an electrochemical sensor for the determination of rivastigmine (RIV) in pharmaceuticals formulations, blood serum, and urine samples is presented. The GNS–AuNP composite is prepared by in situ simultaneous reduction of graphene oxide and chloroauric acid using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The GNS–AuNP composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical characterization of the GNS–AuNP–CPE electrode surface was carried out by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronocoulometry, and adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry. This study shows that oxidation of rivastigmine is facilitated at the GNS–AuNP–CPE electrode and remarkably increase in current compared to the bare electrode due to enhanced adsorption of the former on electrode surface. Under the optimized conditions, the peak current (I p ) is found to be proportional to the RIV concentration in the range of 2.0 × 10 –7– 6.0 × 10 − 4 M with a detection limit of 5.3 × 10 − 8 M. The proposed sensor shows a very high level of sensitivity, selectivity, and a very good reproducibility for RIV determination. A good recovery level obtained for real samples suggests practical utility of the GNS–AuNP–CPE as an effective and reliable electrochemical sensor for RIV detection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The seven antigenically distinct serotypes (A–G) of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) are responsible for the deadly disease botulism. BoNT serotype A (BoNT/A) exerts its lethal action by cleaving the SNARE protein SNAP-25, leading to inhibition of neurotransmitter release, flaccid paralysis and autonomic dysfunction. BoNTs are dichain proteins consisting of a ∼100 kDa heavy chain and a ∼50 kDa light chain; the former is responsible for neurospecific binding, internalization and translocation, and the latter for cleavage of neuronal SNARE proteins. Because of their extreme toxicity and history of weaponization, the BoNTs are regarded as potential biowarfare/bioterrorism agents. No post-symptomatic therapeutic interventions are available for BoNT intoxication other than intensive care; therefore it is imperative to develop specific antidotes against this neurotoxin. To this end, a cyclic peptide inhibitor (CPI-1) was evaluated in a FRET assay for its ability to inhibit BoNT/A light chain (Balc). CPI was found to be highly potent, exhibiting a K i of 12.3 nM with full-length Balc448 and 39.2 nM using a truncated crystallizable form of the light chain (Balc424). Cocrystallization studies revealed that in the Balc424–CPI-1 complex, the inhibitor adopts a helical conformation, occupies a high percentage of the active site cavity and interacts in an amphipathic manner with critical active site residues. The data suggest that CPI-1 prevents SNAP-25 from accessing the Balc active site by blocking both the substrate binding path at the surface and the Zn 2+ binding region involved in catalysis. This differs from linear peptide inhibitors described to date which block only the latter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The strength of aluminum alloys and composites processed through powder metallurgy can be improved through the addition of nano-scale dispersoids introduced during the cryomilling process. Quantification of Orowan strengthening from these dispersoids requires a reliable measurement of the impurity concentration. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was used to quantify the nitrogen impurity concentration using a 14 N ion implanted standard. An analytical approach is devised to determine the nitrogen concentration of an aluminum alloy and composite based on SIMS measurements. Results are compared to the measurements carried out by gas fusion analysis. An increase in nitrogen concentration was observed with an increase in cryomilling time up to 72 h. The nitrogen concentration varied from 1.64±0.17 at% (0.80±0.08 wt%) to 19.12±1.10 at% (13.17±0.71 wt%) for the 8 h and 72 h cryomilled nanocrystalline AA5083, respectively. Assuming that all nitrogen reacts to form dispersoids, the nitrogen concentration determined was used to calculate the volume and weight fractions of dispersoids, which in turn was used to estimate the strengthening contribution via Orowan strengthening. Orowan strengthening was calculated using dispersoids of 3, 9 and 15 nm. The range of Orowan strengthening contribution was estimated, in MPa, to be from 7.69±0.78 to 3.03±0.31 for the 8 h nanocrystalline AA5083 sample, and 154.97±10.29 to 61.09±4.06 for the 72 h nanocrystalline AA5083 sample.

AB - We describe a general synthetic strategy for developing high-affinity peptide binders against specific epitopes of challenging protein biomarkers. The epitope of interest is synthesized as a polypeptide, with a detection biotin tag and a strategically placed azide (or alkyne) presenting amino acid. This synthetic epitope (SynEp) is incubated with a library of complementary alkyne or azide presenting peptides. Library elements that bind the SynEp in the correct orientation undergo the Huisgen cycloaddition, and are covalently linked to the SynEp. Hit peptides are tested against the full-length protein to identify the best binder. We describe development of epitope-targeted linear or macrocycle peptide ligands against 12 different diagnostic or therapeutic analytes. The general epitope targeting capability for these low molecular weight synthetic ligands enables a range of therapeutic and diagnostic applications, similar to those of monoclonal antibodies.

Human performance optimization metrics: consensus findings, gaps, and recommendations for future research. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S221-S245, 2015-Human performance optimization (HPO) is defined as “the process of applying knowledge, skills and emerging technologies to improve and preserve the capabilities of military members, and organizations to execute essential tasks." The lack of consensus for operationally relevant and standardized metrics that meet joint military requirements has been identified as the single most important gap for research and application of HPO. In 2013, the Consortium for Health and Military Performance hosted a meeting to develop a toolkit of standardized HPO metrics for use in military and civilian research, and potentially for field applications by commanders, units, and organizations. Performance was considered from a holistic perspective as being influenced by various behaviors and barriers. To accomplish the goal of developing a standardized toolkit, key metrics were identified and evaluated across a spectrum of domains that contribute to HPO: physical performance, nutritional status, psychological status, cognitive performance, environmental challenges, sleep, and pain. These domains were chosen based on relevant data with regard to performance enhancers and degraders. The specific objectives at this meeting were to (a) identify and evaluate current metrics for assessing human performance within selected domains; (b) prioritize metrics within each domain to establish a human performance assessment toolkit; and (c) identify scientific gaps and the needed research to more effectively assess human performance across domains. This article provides of a summary of 150 total HPO metrics across multiple domains that can be used as a starting point-the beginning of an HPO toolkit: physical fitness (29 metrics), nutrition (24 metrics), psychological status (36 metrics), cognitive performance (35 metrics), environment (12 metrics), sleep (9 metrics), and pain (5 metrics). These metrics can be particularly valuable as the military emphasizes a renewed interest in Human Dimension efforts, and leverages science, resources, programs, and policies to optimize the performance capacities of all Service members.

Executive summary from the National Strength and Conditioning Association's second Blue Ribbon Panel on military physical readiness: Military physical performance testing. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S 216-S220, 2015-The National Strength and Conditioning Association's tactical strength and conditioning program sponsored the second Blue Ribbon Panel on military physical readiness: military physical performance testing, April 18-19, 2013, Norfolk, VA. This meeting brought together a total of 20 subject matter experts (SMEs) from the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and academia representing practitioners, operators, researchers, and policy advisors to discuss the current state of physical performance testing across the Armed Services. The SME panel initially rated 9 common military tasks (jumping over obstacles, moving with agility, carrying heavy loads, dragging heavy loads, running long distances, moving quickly over short distances, climbing over obstacles, lifting heavy objects, loading equipment) by the degree to which health-related fitness components (e.g., aerobic fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition) and skill-related fitness components (e.g., muscular power, agility, balance, coordination, speed, and reaction time) were required to accomplish these tasks. A scale from 1 to 10 (10 being highest) was used. Muscular strength, power, and endurance received the highest rating scores. Panel consensus concluded that (a) selected fitness components (particularly for skill-related fitness components) are currently not being assessed by the military; (b) field-expedient options to measure both health-based and skill-based fitness components are currently available; and (c) 95% of the panel concurred that all services should consider a tier II test focused on both health-related and skill-related fitness components based on occupational, functional, and tactical military performance requirements.

J Strength Cond Res 29(11 S): S149-S153, 201 5-Military operations often induce fatigue resulting from load carriage. Recovery promotes military readiness. This study investigated the acute effects of AR vs. PR after load carriage on maximal isometric leg extension force (MVC) and serum hormonal concentrations. Male reservists (27 ± 3 years, 180 ± 7 cm, 74 ± 1 1 kg, Vo2max 64 ± 9 ml-kg~1 -min-1) completed PR (n = 8) or AR (n = 8) after 50 minutes of loaded (1 6 kg) uphill (gradient 4.0%) treadmill marching at individual anaerobic threshold. No differences were observed between groups in relative changes in MVC during the marching loading, after AR or PR or the next morning. Significant differences in relative responses to AR and PR postmarching loading were observed in serum testosterone (T), cortisol, and sex-hormone binding globulin immediately post AR and PR; however the next morning, all serum hormone concentrations had returned to normal. This study did not reveal any significant differences between the effects of AR and PR after an hour-long marching protocol at approximately anaerobic threshold on MVC or serum hormones the morning after the experimental marching protocol. Thus, based on the variable measured in this study, marching performed by physically fit army reservists at an intensity at or below anaerobic threshold may not necessitate specialized recovery protocols.

AB - Seay, JF. Biomechanics of load Carriage-Historical perspectives and recent insights. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S 129 -S133, 2015-Loads carried by the warfighter have increased substantially throughout recorded history, with the typical U.S. ground soldier carrying external loads averaging 45 kg during operations in Afghanistan. Incidence of disability in the U.S. Army has also increased sixfold since the 1980s, predominantly driven by increases in musculoskeletal injuries, with load carriage implicated as a possible mechanism. This article will provide a brief overview of the biomechanics of load carriage and will provide some recent insights into how the stress of the loads carried by military personnel can affect the musculoskeletal system. Studies into the biomechanics of load carriage have documented motion-related differences such as increased step rate, decreased stride length, and more trunk lean with increases in pack-borne loads. However, there is a paucity of literature on the relationship between load carriage and biomechanical mechanisms of overuse injury. Findings of recent studies will be presented, which add mechanistic information to increased stresses on the lower extremity. This was particularly true at the knee, where in one study, peak knee extension moment increased 115% when carrying a 55 kg load (0.87 ± 0.16 N rrvkg^1) vs. no external load (0.40 ± 0.13 N m k g ~ 1). Efforts to model injury mechanisms require continued biomechanical measurements in humans while carrying occupationally relevant loads to be validated. Specifically, imaging technologies (e.g., bone geometry scans) should be incorporated to produce higher fidelity model of the stresses and strains experienced by the load carrier. In addition to laboratory-based biomechanics, data are needed to further explore the mechanistic relationship between load magnitude and injury; to this end, wearable sensors should continue to be exploited to accurately quantify biomechanical stresses related to load carriage in the field.

AB - Nindl, BC. Physical training strategies for military women's performance optimization in combat-centric occupations. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S101 —S106, 2015-The physiological differences, particularly of upper-body strength and power, between women and men, and the rigors of combat-centric occupational demands would seem to place women at a significant disadvantage, as the U.S. military opens up previously closed combat-arms military occupational specialties (MOSs) to women. This inherent disadvantage can be significantly mitigated by implementing effective and comprehensive physical training (PT) regimens for women targeting those fitness components most critical for those tasks considered most essential for solider warfighting duties (i.e., strength and power). Regrettably, the military historical and legacy overemphasis on aerobic fitness and on “field expediency" as the major criteria for implementing training have limited the extent to which the military has fully operationalized state-of-the-science PT policies. This continued legacy approach could be problematic regarding fully enhancing women's abilities to perform physically demanding combat-centric occupations and could place the successful integration of women into ground combat MOSs at significant risk. Seminal studies from the literature indicate that (a) a minimum of 6 months of periodized combined resistance/endurance training preparedness is recommended for untrained women considering entering combat-arms MOS training; (b) any comprehensive PT program should incorporate and emphasize progressive load carriage training; (c) a greater emphasis on upper body on strength/power development in military women is needed; (d) heavy resistance training in the range of 3-8 repetition maximum sets should be incorporated into training programs to target type II motor units and muscle fibers (those fibers that produce the most force and have the greatest capacity to hypertrophy); (e) low-volume, highintensity interval training should be considered as a time-efficient training method to improve aerobic fitness while protecting against lower-body musculoskeletal injuries; (f) flexible nonlinear periodized programs should be considered to best accommodate the unpredictability and operational functional needs of the military training environment; and (g) serious consideration should be given to revamping the manner in which the military conducts physical readiness training, with a departure from “field expediency” as the major criteria for determining PT policies. With an increased emphasis on the human dimension of soldiering and concerted strategic, operational, and tactical efforts to maximize individual physical readiness and performance, the science of training physiology exists to leverage and better physically prepare women as they enter more combat-centric occupations.

AB - Jones, BH and Hauschild, VD. Physical training, fitness, and injuries: lessons learned from military studies. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S ): S 5 7 -S 6 4 , 2015-Injuries are the leading cause of medical encounters across the U.S. military services resulting in more than 2.0 million clinic visits per year. Almost 50% of military service members experience an injury each year and half of those injuries are caused by physical training (PT), exercise, or sports. To prevent a problem as large and complex as injuries in the military requires a systematic approach. Several key questions must be answered to effectively address a problem such as injuries: (1) how big is the problem? (2) what are the causes and risk factors for the problem? (3) do modifiable risk factors for the problem exist? and (4) what works to prevent the problem? The article discusses leading causes of injuries for U.S. Army populations. It then explores key risk factors for exercise and training-related injuries: (1) the amounts of training, (2) types of training activities, (3) participants level of fitness, and (4) personal health risk behaviors. The article concludes with a review of prevention strategies illustrating interventions that have been shown to be effective, and others that are not effective. The data presented suggest that PT and exercise cause injuries and that modifications of training are most likely to prevent the problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Gibala, MJ, Gagnon, PJ, and Nindl, BC, Military applicability of interval training for health and performance. J Strength Cond Res 29(11 S): S40-S45, 2015-Militaries from around the globe have predominantly used endurance training as their primary mode of aerobic physical conditioning, with historical emphasis placed on the long distance run. In contrast to this traditional exercise approach to training, interval training is characterized by brief, intermittent bouts of intense exercise, separated by periods of lower intensity exercise or rest for recovery. Although hardly a novel concept, research over the past decade has shed new light on the potency of interval training to elicit physiological adaptations in a time-efficient manner. This work has largely focused on the benefits of low-volume interval training, which involves a relatively small total amount of exercise, as compared with the traditional high-volume approach to training historically favored by militaries. Studies that have directly compared interval and moderate-intensity continuous training have shown similar improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and the capacity for aerobic energy metabolism, despite large differences in total exercise and training time commitment. Interval training can also be applied in a calisthenics manner to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and strength, and this approach could easily be incorporated into a military conditioning environment. Although interval training can elicit physiological changes in men and women, the potential for sex-specific adaptations in the adaptive response to interval training warrants further investigation. Additional work is needed to clarify adaptations occurring over the longer term; however, interval training deserves consideration from a military applicability standpoint as a timeefficient training strategy to enhance soldier health and performance. There is value for military leaders in identifying strategies that reduce the time required for exercise, but nonetheless provide an effective training stimulus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Hydren, JR and Zambraski, EJ. International research consensus: Identifying military research priorities and gaps. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S 24-S 27, 2015 -A multidisciplinary survey was administered to military performance researchers attending the Third International Conference on Soldier Physical Performance to obtain their opinions of the priority levels and importance of research topics related to soldier health and determinants of soldier physical performance. Respondents included 140 individuals from 22 different countries, of which 96% had at least a graduate degree and 79% were associated with a military organization. The top 5 highest importance/priority research topics were (a) physical demands in operational environments, (b) measuring physical performance/fitness, (c) musculoskeletal injury mitigation programs, (d) physical employment standards, and (e) physical strength-training programs. Of what individuals thought were their most important topics, 50% reported these were not currently being researched because of higher priorities, insufficient funding, or the lack of scientific expertise. A theme analysis of research topic areas that were important and not being researched indicated that physical employment standards and physical training studies related to soldiers' health and performance are knowledge gaps. Although these experienced researchers had diverse backgrounds and were working on a wide array of research topics, there was a surprisingly clear consensus on what they thought were important topics that needed to be addressed in common between countries or militaries.

Perspectives on aerobic and strength influences on military physical readiness: Report of an international military physiology roundtable. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S10-S23, 2015-Physical fitness training of military recruits is an enduring focus of armies. This is important for safe and effective performance of general tasks that anyone may have to perform in a military setting as well as preparation for more specialized training in specific job specialties. Decades of studies on occupationally specific physical requirements have characterized the dual aerobic and strength demands of typical military tasks; however, scientifically founded strategies to prepare recruits with a good mix of these 2 physiologically opposing capabilities have not been well established. High levels of aerobic training can compromise resistance training gains and increase injury rates. Resistance training requires a greater commitment of time and resources as well as a greater understanding of the science to produce true strength gains that may be beneficial to military performance. These are critical issues for modern armies with increased demands for well-prepared soldiers and fewer injury losses. The actual physical requirements tied to metrics of success in military jobs are also under renewed examination as women are increasingly integrated into military jobs previously performed only by men. At the third International Congress on Soldiers' Physical Performance, a roundtable of 10 physiologists with military expertise presented comparative perspectives on aerobic and strength training. These topics included the physiological basis of training benefits, how to train effectively, how to measure training effectiveness, considerations for the integration of women, and the big perspective. Key discussion points centered on (a) the significance of findings from research on integrated training, (b) strategies for effective strength development, and (c) injury reduction in training as well as the benefits of improved fitness to injury reduction across the force.

AB - The signature-based radiation-scanning technique utilizes radiation detector responses, called “signatures,” and compares these to “templates” in order to differentiate targets that contain certain materials, such as explosives or drugs, from those that do not. Our investigations are aimed at the detection of nitrogen-rich explosives contained in improvised explosive devices. We use the term “clutter” to refer to any non-explosive materials with which the interrogating radiation may interact between source and detector. To deal with the many target types and clutter configurations that may be encountered in the field, the use of “artificial templates” is proposed. The MCNP code was used to simulate 14.1 MeV neutron source beams incident on one type of target containing various clutter and sample materials. Signatures due to inelastic-scatter and prompt-capture gamma rays from hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen and two scattered neutron signatures were considered. Targets containing explosive materials in the presence of clutter were able to be identified from targets that contained only non-explosive (“inert”) materials. This study demonstrates that a finite number of artificial templates is sufficient for IED detection with fairly good sensitivity and specificity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Fullerene-containing materials have the ability to store and release electrical energy. Therefore, fullerenes may ultimately find use in high-voltage equipment devices or as super capacitors for high electric energy storage due to this ease of manipulating their excellent dielectric properties and their high volume resistivity. A series of structured fullerene (C60) polymer nanocomposites were assembled using the thiol-ene click reaction, between alkyl thiols and allyl functionalized C60 derivatives. The resulting high-density C60-urethane-thiol-ene (C60-Thiol-Ene) networks possessed excellent mechanical properties. These novel networks were characterized using standard techniques, including infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The dielectric spectra for the prepared samples were determined over a broad frequency range at room temperature using a broadband dielectric spectrometer and a semiconductor characterization system. The changes in thermo-mechanical and electrical properties of these novel fullerene-thiol-ene composite films were measured as a function of the C60 content, and samples characterized by high dielectric permittivity and low dielectric loss were produced. In this process, variations in chemical composition of the networks were correlated to performance characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The spallation neutron source at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center Weapons Neutron Research facility was used to populate excited states in 186Re via (n,2nγ) reactions on an enriched 187Re target. Gamma rays were detected with the GErmanium Array for Neutron Induced Excitations spectrometer, a Compton-suppressed array of 18 HPGe detectors. Incident neutron energies were determined by the time-of-flight technique and used to obtain y-ray excitation functions for the purpose of identifying γ rays by reaction channel. Analysis of the singles γ-ray spectrum gated on the neutron energy range 10 ≤ En ≤ 25 MeV resulted in five transitions and one level added to the 186Re level scheme. The additions include the placement of three y rays at 266.7, 381.2, and 647.7 keV which have been identified as feeding the 2.0 x 105 yr, Jπ = (8+) isomer and yield an improved value of 148.2(5) keV for the isomer energy. These transitions may have astrophysical implications related to the use of the Re-Os cosmochronometer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Francisella tularensis subspecies tularensis is a highly virulent intracellular bacterial pathogen, causing the disease tularemia. However, a safe and effective vaccine for routine application against F. tularensis has not yet been developed. We have recently constructed the deletion mutants for the DsbA homolog protein (ΔdsbA/FSC200) and a hypothetical protein IglH (ΔiglH/FSC200) in the type B F. tularensis subsp. holarctica FSC200 strain, which exerted different protection capacity against parental virulent strain. In this study, we further investigated the immunological correlates for these different levels of protection provided by ΔdsbA/FSC200 and ΔiglH/FSC200 mutants. Our results show that ΔdsbA/FSC200 mutant, but not ΔiglH/FSC200 mutant, induces an early innate inflammatory response leading to strong Th1-like antibody response. Furthermore, vaccination with ΔdsbA/FSC200 mutant, but not with ΔiglH/FSC200, elicited protection against the subsequent challenge with type A SCHU S4 strain in mice. An immunoproteomic approach was used to map a spectrum of antigens targeted by Th1-like specific antibodies, and more than 80 bacterial antigens, including novel ones, were identified. Comparison of tularemic antigens recognized by the ΔdsbA/FSC200 post-vaccination and the SCHU S4 post-challenge sera then revealed the existence of 22 novel SCHU S4 specific antibody clones.

AB - This paper describes the fabrication and performance results of a magnetoelectric macro fiber composite (ME MFC). The magnetoelectric composite was fabricated by bonding a magnetostrictive layer to a piezoelectric layer using a novel approach of low temperature transient liquid phase (LTTLP) bonding. The composite was diced into 150 micron wide fibers and bonded to a custom designed copper flexible circuit using a spin coated low viscosity room temperature curing epoxy. ME MFC’s with varying ferrite thicknesses of 0.6 mm and 0.5 mm were fabricated and characterized for energy harvesting. The composite with 0.6 mm ferrite thickness achieved an open circuit voltage of 101 mV (ME voltage coefficient of 6740 mV/cmOe) and peak power of 3.1 nW across 356 kΩ matching load at 264 Hz.

AB - ABSTRACT The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has recently revised the defense acquisition system to address suspected root causes hindering higher success rates. This article applies two systems thinking methodologies in a uniquely integrated fashion to provide an in-depth review and compelling interpretation of the revised defense acquisition system as put forth in January 7, 2015 DoDI 5000.02. Changes from the previous defense acquisition system are significant and may be cause for some cautious optimism in the United States. This article describes how the architects of the revised defense acquisition system have increased emphasis on systems engineering activities applied early in the lifecycle so that meaningful trade-offs between capability requirements and lifecycle costs can be explored as requirements are being written to ensure realistic program baselines are established such that associated lifecycle costs will likely fit within future budgets. Expressed as emerging systems engineering research questions, this article identifies several gaps that are likely to emerge as the defense acquisition community attempts to execute the new acquisition system.

AB - We tested the hypothesis that markers of coagulation activation are greater during lower body negative pressure (LBNP) than those obtained during blood loss (BL). We assessed coagulation using both standard clinical tests and thrombelastography (TEG) in 12 men who performed a LBNP and BL protocol in a randomized order. LBNP consisted of 5-min stages at 0, -15, -30, and -45 mmHg of suction. BL included 5 min at baseline and following three stages of 333 ml of blood removal (up to 1,000 ml total). Arterial blood draws were performed at baseline and after the last stage of each protocol. We found that LBNP to -45 mmHg is a greater central hypovolemic stimulus versus BL; therefore, the coagulation markers were plotted against central venous pressure (CVP) to obtain stimulus-response relationships using the linear regression line slopes for both protocols. Paired t-tests were used to determine whether the slopes of these regression lines fell on similar trajectories for each protocol. Mean regression line slopes for coagulation markers versus CVP fell on similar trajectories during both protocols, except for TEG α° angle (-0.42 ± 0.96 during LBNP vs. -2.41 ± 1.13°/mmHg during BL; P | 0.05). During both LBNP and BL, coagulation was accelerated as evidenced by shortened R-times (LBNP, 9.9 ± 2.4 to 6.2 ± 1.1; BL, 8.7 ± 1.3 to 6.4 ± 0.4 min; both P < 0.05). Our results indicate that LBNP models the general changes in coagulation markers observed during BL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A new stochastic water quality modeling tool was applied to quantify potential climate change effects on a nutrient impaired reach in the Pacific Northwest. This tool allows for multiple stochastic inputs for steady state river water quality simulations. A previously published calibrated deterministic model of the targeted reach was adapted for this study. This model simulates steady-state nutrient, algae, and dissolved oxygen dynamics with both point and nonpoint pollutant loadings. It also includes simulation of diurnally varying water temperature, calculated as a function of air temperature, shading, and streamflow using heat budget equations. For this study, local summer air temperature and critical low flows were treated stochastically in the model. Parameterization of these inputs was based on analysis of multiple global climate model (GCM) projections for the study area corresponding to a 2060 planning horizon. Continuous probability distribution functions were fitted to ensemble GCM data sets grouped according to two different greenhouse gas emission scenarios (best case, worst case). Climate projections were translated into summer low flows using a simple empirical regression hydrologic model that was developed on the basis of observed historical data. Model outputs are provided probabilistically, helping to quantify levels of climate model consensus and capturing a portion of the large uncertainty associated with the forecasts. This type of framework is valuable in its support of planning decision making. Results specific to this study indicate that, whereas reach dissolved oxygen and algae biomass levels are relatively insensitive to projected climate change, simulated stream water temperature changes could have an adverse effect on native salmon populations in the region. The demonstrated methods are believed to be generally transferable to other river water quality studies and are recommended as an option for planning studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Frequency-lowering (FL) algorithms are an alternative method of providing access to high- frequency speech cues. There is currently a lack of independent research addressing: (1) what functional, measureable benefits FL provides; (2) which, if any, FL algorithm provides the maximum benefit, (3) how to clinically program algorithms, and (4) how to verify algorithm settings. Purpose: Two experiments were included in this study. The purpose of Experiment 1 was to (1) deter mine if a commercially available nonlinear frequency compression (NLFC) algorithm provides benefit as measured by improved speech recognition in noise when fit and verified using standard clinical procedures; and (2) evaluate the impact of acclimatization. The purpose of Experiment 2 was to (1) evaluate the benefit of using enhanced verification procedures to systematically determine the optimal application of a prototype NLFC algorithm, and (2) determine if the optimized prototype NLFC settings provide benefit as measured by improved speech recognition in quiet and in noise. Research Design: A single-blind, within-participant repeated measures design in which participants served as their own controls. Study Sample: Experiment 1 included 26 participants with a mean age of 68.3 yr and Experiment 2 included 37 participants with a mean age of 68.8 yr. Participants were recruited from the Audiology and Speech Pathology Center at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. Intervention: Participants in Experiment 1 wore bilateral commercially available hearing aids fit using standard clinical procedures and clinician expertise. Participants in Experiment 2 wore a single prototype hearing aid for which FL settings were systematically examined to determine the optimum application. In each experiment, FL-On versus FL-Off settings were examined in a variety of listening situations to determine benefit and possible implications. Data Collection and Analysis: In Experiment 1, speech recognition measures using the QuickSIN and Modified Rhyme Test stimuli were obtained at initial bilateral fitting and 3-5 weeks later during a follow-up visit. In Experiment 2, Modified Rhyme Test, /se/, /fa/ consonant discrimination task, and dual-task cognitive load speech recognition performance measures were conducted. Participants in Experiment 2 received four different systematic hearing aid programs during an initial visit and speech recognition data were collected over 2-3 follow-up sessions. Results: Some adults with hearing loss obtained small-to-moderate benefits from implementation of FL, while others maintained performance without detriment in both experiments. There was no significant difference among FL-On settings systematically obtained in Experiment 2. There was a modest but significant age effect in listeners of both experiments that indicated older listeners (>65 yr) might benefit more on average from FL than younger listeners. In addition, there were reliable improvements in the intelligibility of the phonemes /r)/ and /b/ for both groups, and /3/ for older listeners from the FL in both experiments. Conclusions: Although the optimum settings, application, and benefits of FL remain unclear at this time, there does not seem to be degradation in listener performance when FL is activated. The benefits of FL should be explored in older adult (>65 yr) listeners, as they tended to benefit more from FL applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A vertical ship motion study was conducted to evaluate three proposed channel alignments S-1, S-3, and S-8 in the Savannah, GA entrance channel. These alignment changes (doglegs) are proposed to allow ships to reach deeper water in less distance, with reduced dredging costs. The Channel Analysis and Design Evaluation Tool (CADET) was used to predict the underkeel clearance and annual days of accessibility. The clearance and accessibility results were calculated for each channel option and include vertical ship motion allowances based on the wave-induced coupled heave, roll, and pitch. This provides a risk-based method of determining channel project depth based on two ship loading conditions for the three channel alignment options. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The temperature dependence and electronic transport properties of 1, 3, 5- tri (1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl) phenyl (TPBI) and 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq) electron transporting layers (ETL) have been investigated as a function of cesium carbonate (Cs 2 CO 3 ) doping for organic light emitting devices. The current-voltage and light emission characteristics were measured as a function of the Cs 2 CO 3 doped ETL thickness at both room temperature and cryogenic (10–300 K). The current density (J) for the Alq:Cs 2 CO 3 ETL device increased for an ETL thickness between 100 and 300 Å, with no further increase in the ETL beyond 300 Å, indicating an electron injection limited contact. Conversely, the J for the TPBI:Cs 2 CO 3 ETL device did not saturate for increasing ETL thicknesses confirming the TPBI:Cs 2 CO 3 devices have a near-ohmic cathode contact. The correlation of current density–voltage ( J – V ) and luminance-voltage ( L – V ) for both Alq:Cs 2 CO 3 and TPBI:Cs 2 CO 3 devices were studied over temperatures from 10 to 300 K. Both increased with increasing temperature; however, Cs 2 CO 3 -doped TPBI devices were more effective than Cs 2 CO 3 -doped Alq devices. The observed differences between Alq and TPBI may be attributed to the exposed nitrogen electron pair in the electronic structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The aim of this research is to enhance game-based training applications to support educational events in the absence of live instruction. The overarching purpose of the presented study was to explore available tools for integrating intelligent tutoring communications in game-based learning platforms and to examine theory-based techniques for delivering explicit feedback in such environments. The primary tool influencing the design of this research was the open-source Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT), a modular domain-independent architecture that provides the tools and methods to author, deliver, and evaluate intelligent tutoring technologies within any instructional domain. Influenced by research surrounding social cognitive theory and cognitive load theory, the resulting experiment tested varying approaches for utilizing an Embodied Pedagogical Agent (EPA) to function as a tutor during interaction in a game-based training environment. Conditions were authored to assess the tradeoffs between embedding an EPA directly in a game, embedding an EPA in GIFT’s browser-based Tutor–User Interface (TUI), or using audio prompts alone with no social grounding. The resulting data supported the application of using an EPA embedded in GIFT’s TUI to provide explicit feedback during a game-based learning event. Analyses revealed conditions with an EPA situated in the TUI to be as effective as embedding the agent directly in the game environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) films decorated with hierarchically structured pillars are cast from large area copper and copper oxide negative molds. The molds are fabricated using a single patterning step and electroplating. The process of casting structured PDMS films is simpler and cheaper than alternatives based on deep reactive ion etching or laser roughening of bulk silicone. Texture imparted to the pillars from the mold walls renders the PDMS films superhydrophobic, with the contact angle/hysteresis of the most non-wetting surfaces measuring 164°/9° and 158°/10° for surfaces with and without application of a low surface energy coating. The usefulness of patterned PDMS films as a “self-cleaning” solar cell module covering is demonstrated and other applications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Theincorporation and electrochemical activity of a conjugatedoligoelectrolyte (COE) in model phospholipid bilayers have been characterizedusing cyclic voltammetry and UV–vis absorption measurements.Several other modifiers were also incorporated into the phospholipidmembranes to alter properties such as charge and alkyl chain disorder.Using potassium ferricyanide to measure charge transport, it was observedthat bilayers that contained cholic acid, a negatively charged additivethat also promotes alkyl chain disorder, had higher COE uptake andcharge permeability than unmodified bilayers. In contrast, when thepositively charged choline was incorporated, charge permeability decreasedand COE uptake was similar to that of unmodified bilayers. The incorporationof cholesterol at low concentrations within the phospholipid membraneswas shown to enhance the COE’s effectiveness at increasingmembrane charge permeability without increasing the COE concentrationin the bilayer. Higher concentrations of cholesterol reduce membranefluidity and membrane charge permeability. Collectively, these resultsdemonstrate that changes in phospholipid membrane charge permeabilityupon COE incorporation depend not only on the concentration in themembrane but also on interactions with the phospholipid bilayer andother additives present in the membranes. This approach of manipulatingthe properties of phospholipid membranes to understand COE interactionsis applicable to understanding the behavior of a wide range of moleculesthat impart useful properties to phospholipid membranes.

AB - Summary Accurate estimation of snowpack is vital in many parts of the world for both water management and flood prediction. Temperature-index (TI) snowmelt models are commonly used for this purpose due to their simplicity and low data requirements. Although TI models work well within lumped watershed models, their reliance on air temperature (and potentially an assumed lapse rate) as the only external driver of snowmelt limits their ability to accurately simulate the spatial distribution of snowpack and thus the timing of snowmelt. This limitation significantly reduces the utility of the TI approach in distributed hydrologic models because spatial variability within the watershed, including snowpack and snowmelt, is usually the primary reason for selecting a distributed model. In this paper, a new radiation-derived temperature index (RTI) approach is presented that uses a spatially-varying proxy temperature in place of air temperature within the TI model of the fully-distributed Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA) watershed model. The RTI is derived from a radiation balance and includes spatial heterogeneity in both shortwave and longwave radiation. Thus, the RTI accounts for more local variation in the available energy than air temperature alone. The RTI model in GSSHA is tested at the Senator Beck basin in southwestern Colorado where observations for snow water equivalent (SWE) and LandSat-derived images of snow cover area (SCA) are available. The TI and RTI approaches produce similar SWE estimates at two non-forested and relatively flat sites with SWE observations. However, the two models can produce very different SWE values at sites with forests or topographic slopes, which leads to significant differences in the basin-wide SWE values of the two models. Furthermore, the RTI model provides better basin-wide SCA estimates than the TI model in 75% of the LandSat images analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Recent observations of planar defects in boron carbide have been shown to deviate from perfect mirror symmetry and are referred to as "asymmetric twins." Here, we demonstrate that these asymmetric twins are really phase boundaries that form in stoichiometric B4C (i.e., B12C3) but not in B13C2. TEM observations and ab initio simulations have been coupled to show that these planar defects result from an interplay of stoichiometry, atomic positioning, icosahedral twinning, and structural hierarchy. The composition of icosahedra in B4C is B11C and translation of the carbon atom from a polar to equatorial site leads to a shift in bonding and a slight distortion of the lattice. No such distortion is observed in boron-rich B13C2 because the icosahedra do not contain carbon. Implications for tailoring boron carbide with stoichiometry and extrapolations to other hierarchical crystalline materials are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Mass concentration is the standard convention to express exposure in ecotoxicology for dissolved substances. However, nanotoxicology has challenged the suitability of the mass concentration dose metric. Alternative metrics often discussed in the literature include particle number, surface area, and ion release (kinetics, equilibrium). It is unlikely that any single metric is universally applicable to all types of nanoparticles. However, determining the optimal metric for a specific type of nanoparticle requires novel studies to generate supportive data and employ methods to compensate for current analytical capability gaps. This investigation generated acute toxicity data for two standard species (Ceriodaphnia dubia, Pimephales promelas) exposed to five sizes (10, 20, 30, 60, 100 nm) of monodispersed citrate- and polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles. Particles were sized by various techniques to populate available models for expressing the particle number, surface area, and dissolved fraction. Results indicate that the acute toxicity of the tested silver nanoparticles is best expressed by ion release, and is relatable to total exposed surface area. Particle number was not relatable to the observed acute silver nanoparticle effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The enzyme organophosphorus acid anhydrolase (OPAA), from Alteromonas sp. JD6.5, has been shown to rapidly catalyze the hydrolysis of a number of toxic organophosphorus compounds, including several G-type chemical nerve agents. The enzyme was cloned into Escherichia coli and can be produced up to approximately 50% of cellular protein. There have been no previous reports of OPAA activity on VR {Russian VX, O-isobutyl S-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate}, and our studies reported here show that wild-type OPAA has poor catalytic efficacy toward VR. However, via application of a structurally aided protein engineering approach, significant improvements in catalytic efficiency were realized via optimization of the small pocket within the OPAA’s substrate-binding site. This optimization involved alterations at only three amino acid sites resulting in a 30-fold increase in catalytic efficiency toward racemic VR, with a strong stereospecificity toward the P(+) enantiomer. X-ray structures of this mutant as well as one of its predecessors provide potential structural rationales for their effect on the OPAA active site. Additionally, a fourth mutation at a site near the small pocket was found to relax the stereospecificity of the OPAA enzyme. Thus, it allows the altered enzyme to effectively process both VR enantiomers and should be a useful genetic background in which to seek further improvements in OPAA VR activity.

AB - Background: Manganese-oxides are one of the most important minerals in soil due to their widespread distribution and high reactivity. Despite their invaluable role in cycling many redox sensitive elements, numerous unknowns remain about the reactivity of different manganese-oxide minerals under varying conditions in natural systems. By altering temperature, pH, and concentration of arsenite we were able to determine how manganese-oxide reactivity changes with simulated environmental conditions. The interaction between manganese-oxides and arsenic is particularly important because manganese can oxidize mobile and toxic arsenite into more easily sorbed and less toxic arsenate. This redox reaction is essential in understanding how to address the global issue of arsenic contamination in drinking water. Results: The reactivity of manganese-oxides in ascending order is random stacked birnessite, hexagonal birnessite, biogenic manganese-oxide, acid birnessite, and δ-MnO2. Increasing temperature raised the rate of oxidation. pH had a variable effect on the production of arsenate and mainly impacted the sorption of arsenate on δ-MnO2, which decreased with increasing pH. Acid birnessite oxidized the most arsenic at alkaline and acidic pHs, with decreased reactivity towards neutral pH. The δ-MnO2 showed a decline in reactivity with increasing arsenite concentration, while the acid birnessite had greater oxidation capacity under higher concentrations of arsenite. The batch reactions used in this study quantify the impact of environmental variances on different manganese-oxides' reactivity and provide insight to their roles in governing chemical cycles in the Critical Zone. Conclusions: The reactivity of manganese-oxides investigated was closely linked to each mineral's crystallinity, surface area, and presence of vacancy sites. δ-MnO2 and acid birnessite are thought to be synthetic representatives of naturally occurring biogenic manganese-oxides; however, the biogenic manganese-oxide exhibited a lag time in oxidation compared to these two minerals. Reactivity was clearly linked to temperature, which provides important information on how these minerals react in the subsurface environment. The pH affected oxidation rate, which is essential in understanding how manganese-oxides react differently in the environment and their potential role in remediating contaminated areas. Moreover, the contrasting oxidative capacity of seemingly similar manganese-oxides under varying arsenite concentrations reinforces the importance of each manganese-oxide mineral's unique properties.

AB - A membrane-integrated proton exchange membrane fuel cell that enables in situ fermentation of sugar to ethanol, diffusion-driven separation of ethanol, and its catalytic oxidation in a single continuous process is reported. The fuel cell consists of a fermentation chamber coupled to a direct ethanol fuel cell. The anode and fermentation chambers are separated by a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Ethanol generated from fermented biomass in the fermentation chamber diffuses through the RO membrane into a glucose solution contained in the DEFC anode chamber. The glucose solution is osmotically neutral to the biomass solution in the fermentation chamber preventing the anode chamber from drying out. The fuel cell sustains >1.3 mW cm −2 at 47 °C with high discharge capacity. No separate purification or dilution is necessary, resulting in an efficient and portable system for direct conversion of fermenting biomass to electricity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Filoviruses, consisting of Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV), are among the most lethal infectious threats to mankind. Infections by these viruses can cause severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans and nonhuman primates with high mortality rates. Since there is currently no vaccine or antiviral therapy approved for humans, there is an urgent need to develop prophylactic and therapeutic options for use during filoviral outbreaks and bioterrorist attacks. One of the ideal targets against filoviral infection and diseases is at the entry step, which is mediated by the filoviral glycoprotein (GP). In this report, we screened a chemical library of small molecules and identified numerous inhibitors, which are known G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) antagonists targeting different GPCRs, including histamine receptors, 5-HT (serotonin) receptors, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, and adrenergic receptor. These inhibitors can effectively block replication of both infectious EBOV and MARV, indicating a broad antiviral activity of the GPCR antagonists. The time-of-addition experiment and microscopic studies suggest that GPCR antagonists block filoviral entry at a step following the initial attachment but prior to viral/cell membrane fusion. These results strongly suggest that GPCRs play a critical role in filoviral entry and GPCR antagonists can be developed as an effective anti-EBOV/MARV therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Quinidine gluconate, the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for life-threatening malaria in the United States, has a problematic safety profile and is often unavailable in hospitals.Objective: To assess the safety and clinical benefit of intravenous artesunate as an alternative to quinidine.Design: Retrospective case series.Setting: U.S. hospitals.Patients: 102 patients aged 1 to 72 years (90% adults; 61% men) with severe and complicated malaria. Patients received 4 weight-based doses of intravenous artesunate (2.4 mg/kg) under a treatment protocol implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between January 2007 and December 2010. At baseline, 35% had evidence of cerebral malaria, and 17% had severe hepatic impairment. Eligibility required the presence of microscopically confirmed malaria, need for intravenous treatment, and an impediment to quinidine.Measurements: Clinical and laboratory data from each patient's hospital records were abstracted retrospectively, including information from baseline through a maximum 7-day follow-up, and presented before a physician committee to evaluate safety and clinical benefit outcomes.Results: 7 patients died (mortality rate, 6.9%). The most frequent adverse events were anemia (65%) and elevated hepatic enzyme levels (49%). All deaths and most adverse events were attributed to the severity of malaria. Patients' symptoms generally improved or resolved within 3 days, and the median time to discharge from the intensive care unit was 4 days, even for patients with severe liver disease or cerebral malaria. More than 100 concomitant medications were used, with no documented drug-drug interactions.Limitation: Potential late-presenting safety issues might occur outside the 7-day follow-up.Conclusion: Artesunate was a safe and clinically beneficial alternative to quinidine.

AB - We used statistical mechanics to design polymers that defy conventional wisdom by self-assembling into "megasupramolecules" (≥5000 kg/mol) at low concentration (≤0.3 weight percent).Theoretical treatment of the distribution of individual subunits--end-functional polymers--among cyclic and linear supramolecules (ring-chain equilibrium) predicts that megasupramolecules can format low total polymer concentration if, and only if, the backbones are long (>400 kg/mol) and end-association strength is optimal. Viscometry and scattering measurements of long telechelic polymers having polycyclooctadiene backbones and acid or amine end groups verify the formation of megasupramolecules. They control misting and reduce drag in the same manner as ultralong covalent polymers. With individual building blocks short enough to avoid hydrodynamic chain scission (weight-average molecular weights of 400 to 1000 kg/mol) and reversible linkages that protect covalent bonds, these megasupramolecules overcome the obstacles of shear degradation and engine incompatibility.

AB - A mesoscale spring–mass model is used to mimic fabric surface motion. Through coupling with an incompressible fluid solver, the spring–mass model is applied to the simulation of the dynamic phenomenon of parachute inflation. A presentation of a verification and validation efforts is included. The present model is shown to be numerically convergent under the constraints that the summation of point masses is constant and that both the tensile stiffness and the angular stiffness of the spring conform with the material׳s Young modulus and Poisson ratio. Complex validation simulations conclude the effort via drag force comparisons with experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Tactical networking environments present many challenges in terms of bandwidth, latency, reliability, stability, and connectivity. Sensors can today generate very large data sets that exceed the ability of tactical networks to transfer and disseminate them in a timely manner. Furthermore, the desire to cover larger areas with persistent sensing capabilities, have resulted in the widescale deployment of inexpensive sensors, further widening the gap between the volume of information that is generated and the subset that can successfully be delivered to consumers. This article explores the notion of determining the value of information in order to prioritize and filter information that is disseminated over these tactical networks, focusing on the dissemination of information to and from dismounted soldiers in a battlefield environment. This is a promising approach to mitigate the constraints of tactical networks and to reduce information overload on soldiers. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

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

AB - Winning wars in cyberspace might sound easy: the click of a mouse or the press of the enter key on a keyboard. Yet, the web of networks that constitutes cyberspace is imbued with challenges. Seemingly every day there is a new story of a government, business, or individual, suffering from a serious hack. These hacks are often attributed to state actors or transnational criminal organizations. Combined, the almost daily revelations of serious incidents compound a common misperception that cyberspace is an ungoverned space. The reality of cyberspace, however, is far different and constitutes a complex environment of overlapping jurisdictions. The overlapping geographic, legal, and technical boundaries affect everything from the freedom of information to the decision to engage in military operations. Technical specifications as well as laws and policies established by local and national governments, international institutions, non-governmental organizations, and corporations form the decision-making framework for national policymakers and military commanders. Understanding how all the elements of cyberspace interact provides context for when, why and how the United States engages in military operations in cyberspace. This paper examines the complexities of the environment and their impact on the decisions of states (with emphasis placed on the United States) to engage in offensive cyber operations, cyber exploitation,' and defensive cyber operations against other states and non-state actors. Moreover, it examines the important role that overlapping governmental and non-governmental organizations have in affecting the types of behaviors that occur within cyberspace. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - In this paper, we propose a general collaborative sparse representation framework for multi-sensor classification, which takes into account the correlations as well as complementary information between heterogeneous sensors simultaneously while considering joint sparsity within each sensor’s observations. We also robustify our models to deal with the presence of sparse noise and low-rank interference signals. Specifically, we demonstrate that incorporating the noise or interference signal as a low-rank component in our models is essential in a multi-sensor classification problem when multiple co-located sources/sensors simultaneously record the same physical event. We further extend our frameworks to kernelized models which rely on sparsely representing a test sample in terms of all the training samples in a feature space induced by a kernel function. A fast and efficient algorithm based on alternative direction method is proposed where its convergence to an optimal solution is guaranteed. Extensive experiments are conducted on several real multi-sensor data sets and results are compared with the conventional classifiers to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

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

AB - The cyberdomain has become "key terrain" of irregular warfare with state and nonstate actors leveraging social media and other digital tools for command and control, intelligence gathering, training, recruiting, and propaganda. Department of Defense cyberstrategy highlights the urgent need for improved cyber situational awareness to reduce anonymity in cyberspace. This requires new technologies, doctrine, and analytical approaches for identifying and targeting adversaries operating in a digital landscape. This article examines identity-based targeting approaches developed during recent confl icts as a possible starting point for this effort. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article addresses what we owe to the civilians of a state with which we are militarily engaged. The old notion of noncombatant immunity needs to be rethought within the context of both human rights and into the postwar phase.No doubt, civilians will be killed in war. However, much more can be done during and after the fighting to protect civilians’ basic human rights from the ills of war. I argue for making belligerents accountableex postby requiring them to repair destroyed dual-purpose facilities that are essential for securing basic human rights of the civilian populace. I argue also that a belligerent’s targeting decisions should be reviewedex postby an impartial commission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Case summary, by James Cook (Case Study Editor): In the final issue of the 2015 volume of theJournal of Military Ethics, we published a case study entitled “Coining an Ethical Dilemma: The Impunity of Afghanistan’s Indigenous Security Forces”, written by Paul Lushenko. The study detailed two extra-judicial killings (EJKs) by Afghan National Police (ANP) personnel in an area stabilized and overseen by a US-led Combined Task Force (CTF). To deter further EJKs following the first incident, the CTF’s commander reported the incidents up his chain of command and used the limited tools at his disposal to influence local indigenous officials directly. Apparently, the ANP unit took no notice. In his commentary on the case study, Paul Robinson considered moral compromise in war more generally. Coalition troops in Afghanistan, for instance, have encountered not just EJKs but also sexual abuse of minors, killing of non-combatants, kidnapping, torture, and widespread corruption. What should the soldier on the ground do if indigenous personnel violate Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC) with impunity? Refusing to serve will not right or prevent moral wrongs, while staying on to fight the good but futile fight will mire the soldier in moral compromise. “ … [S]oldiers faced with this dilemma have no good options. The systemic failings surrounding them mean that it is probable that nothing they do will help”. In a concluding note, I suggested that while an individual soldier may indeed have no good options, as Paul Robinson suggests, that soldier’s military and nation at large are obliged to do what they can. At least, they must keep to the moral high ground so as not to give indigenous security forces an excuse to misbehave, and determine the nature of crimes such as EJKs: are they outlaw acts or in fact endorsed by the indigenous culture and perhaps even government? Below Colonel Dave Barnes, himself a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, analyzes Paul Lushenko’s case study at “ … the local, tactical level: If a commander is in this situation – where her unit witnesses an EJK or other war crime – what should she do?” [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - The present state of navigation engineering knowledge concerning nautical depth in ports and waterways with fluid mud is summarized to examine the potential for successful application of the nautical depth concept in U.S. navigable waterways. Nautical depth defines a safe and effective channel bottom criterion in areas where fluid mud confounds conventional acoustic (echo sounder) surveying methods. Fluid mud is a high-concentration suspension that typically behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid. It occurs in ports and channels on all U. S. coastlines and accounts for a significant portion of the United States' $1 billion dredging expense. Nautical depth has been adopted in multiple ports on three continents. Where nautical depth application is appropriate, it often reduces dredging frequency and dredged material volume and can provide water quality benefits. Multiple experiments and field experience have shown that vessels can safely transit areas with fluid mud below the keel. The United States' adoption of the nautical depth concept for select ports and waterways can be expected to reduce dredging frequency and volumes. It offers potential economic and environmental benefits but will require a consensus among federal, state, and local organizations with responsibilities for constructing, operating, maintaining, marking, and using navigable waterways.

AB - The incomplete nature of operational records generated during and preserved after the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991) has and will continue to challenge historians', medical researchers', and veterans' understanding of the conflict. This war exposed the deterioration of the U.S. Army's records management after the disestablishment of The Adjutant General's Office (TAGO) in 1986. TAGO had overseen Army records management, holding commanders accountable for their units' records and using trained personnel to manage records within units. Focusing on operational records, this paper explores the breakdown of records management during the Gulf War, discusses the presidentially mandated Gulf War Declassification Project (1995-1996), and briefly reviews current Army operational records management.

AB - Intelligible speech communication while wearing air-purifying respirators is critical for law enforcement officers, particularly when they are communicating with each other or the public. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) requires a 70% overall performance rating to pass speech intelligibility certification for commercial chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear air-purifying respirators. However, the speech intelligibility of certified respirators is not reported and the impact on operational performance is unknown. The objective of this effort was to assess the speech intelligibility of 12 certified air-purifying respirators and to predict their impact on operational performance. The NIOSH respirator certification standard testing procedures were followed. Regression equations were fit to data from studies that examined the impact of degraded speech intelligibility on operational performance of simple and complex missions. The impact of the tested respirators on operational performance was estimated from these equations. Performance ratings observed for each respirator were: MSA Millennium (90%), 3M FR-M40 (88%), MSA Ultra Elite (87%), Scott M110 (86%), North 5400 (85%), Scott M120 (85%), Avon C50 (84%), Avon FM12 (84%), Survivair Optifit (81%), Drager CDR 4500 (81%), Peltor-AOSafety M-TAC (79%), and 3M FR-7800B (78%). The Millennium and FR-M40 had statistically significantly higher scores than the FR-7800B. The Millennium also scored significantly higher than the M-TAC. All of the tested respirators were predicted to have little impact on simple and complex mission performance times and on simple mission success rate. However, the regression equations showed that 75% of missions that require complex communications would be completed while wearing the Millennium, FR-M40, or Ultra Elite but that only 60% would be completed successfully while wearing the FR-7800B. These results suggest that some certified respirators may have a greater impact on speech communications than others.

AB - Objective: This study investigated whether a stressful military training program, the 9- to 10-week U.S. Army basic combat training (BCT) course, alters the cognitive performance and mood of healthy young adult females. Background: Structured training programs including adolescent boot camps, sports training camps, learning enrichment programs, and military basic training are accepted methods for improving academic and social functioning. However, limited research is available on the behavioral effects of structured training programs in regard to cognitive performance and mood. Method: Two separate, within-subject studies were conducted with different BCT classes; in total 212 female volunteers were assessed before and after BCT. In Study 1, Four- Choice Reaction Time, Match-to-Sample, and Grammatical Reasoning tests were administered. The Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) was administered in Study 2. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) was administered in both studies. Results: In Study 1, reaction time to correct responses on all three of the performance tests improved from preto post-BCT. In Study 2, PVT reaction time significantly improved. All POMS subscales improved over time in the second study, whereas POMS subscales in the first study failed to meet criteria for statistically significant differences over time. Conclusion: Cognition and mood substantially improved over military basic training. These changes may be a result of structured physical and mental training experienced during basic training or other factors not as yet identified. Application: Properly structured training may have extensive, beneficial effects on cognitive performance and mood; however, additional research is needed to determine what factors are responsible for such changes.

AB - Statistically and dynamically downscaled climate projections are the two important data sources for evaluation of climate change and its impact on water availability, water quality and ecosystems. Though bias correction helps to adjust the climate model output to behave more similarly to observations, the hydrologic response still can be biased. This study uses Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model to evaluate the hydrologic response of the trans-state Oologah Lake watershed to climate change by using both statistically and dynamically downscaled multiple climate projections. Simulated historical and projected climate data from the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) and Bias-Corrected and Spatially Downscaled-Coupled Model Intercomparison Phase 3 (BCSD-CMIP3) forced the hydrologic model. In addition, different river network upscaling methods are also compared for a higher VIC model performance. Evaluation and comparison shows the following the results. (1) From the hydrologic point of view, the dynamically downscaled NARCCAP projection performed better, most likely in capturing a larger portion of mesoscale-driven convective rainfall than the statistically downscaled CMIP3 projections; hence, the VIC model generated higher seasonal streamflow amplitudes that are closer to observations. Additionally, the statistically downscaled GCMs are less likely to capture the hydrological simulation probably due to missing integration of climate variables of wind, solar radiation and others, even though their precipitation and temperature are bias corrected to be more favorably than the NARCCAP simulations. (2) Future water availability (precipitation, runoff, and baseflow) in the watershed would increase annually by 3-4 %, suggested by both NARCCAP and BCSD-CMIP3. Temperature increases (2.5-3 °C) are much more consistent between the two types of climate projections both seasonally and annually. However, NARCCAP suggested 2-3 times higher seasonal variability of precipitation and other water fluxes than the BCSD-CMIP3 models. (3) The hydrologic performance could be used as a potential metric to comparatively differentiate climate models, since the land surface and atmosphere processes are considered integrally.

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

AB - Context: Assessing the hazards of accidental exposure to toxic industrial chemical (TIC) vapors and evaluating therapeutic compounds or treatment regimens require the development of appropriate animal models. Objective: The objective of this project was to develop an exposure system for delivering controlled vapor concentrations of TICs to the skin of anesthetized weanling pigs. Injury levels targeted for study were superficial dermal (SD) and deep dermal (DD) skin lesions as defined histopathologically. Materials and methods: The exposure system was capable of simultaneously delivering chlorine or bromine vapor to four, 3-cm diameter exposure cups placed over skin between the axillary and inguinal areas of the ventral abdomen. Vapor concentrations were generated by mixing saturated bromine or chlorine vapor with either dried dilution air or nitrogen. Results: Bromine exposure concentrations ranged from 6.5 × 10−4 to 1.03 g/L, and exposure durations ranged from 1 to 45 min. A 7-min skin exposure to bromine vapors at 0.59 g/L was sufficient to produce SD injuries, while a 17-min exposure produced a DD injury. Chlorine exposure concentrations ranged from 1.0 to 2.9 g/L (saturated vapor concentration) for exposures ranging from 3 to 90 min. Saturated chlorine vapor challenges for up to 30 min did not induce significant dermal injuries, whereas saturated chlorine vapor with wetted material on the skin surface for 30-60 min induced SD injuries. DD chlorine injuries could not be induced with this system. Conclusion: The vapor exposure system described in this study provides a means for safely regulating, quantifying and delivering TIC vapors to the skin of weanling swine as a model to evaluate therapeutic treatments.

AB - High-protein (HP) diets may attenuate bone loss during energy restriction. The objective of the current study was to determine whether HP diets suppress bone turnover and improve bone quality in male rats during food restriction and whether dietary protein source affects this relation. Eighty 12-wk-old male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to consume 1 of 4 study diets under ad libitum (AL) control or restricted conditions [40% food restriction (FR)]: 1) 10% [normal-protein (NP)]milk protein; 2) 32% (HP) milk protein; 3) 10% (NP) soy protein; or 4) 32% (HP) soy protein. After 16 wk, markers of bone turnover, volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), microarchitecture, strength, and expression of duodenal calcium channels were assessed. FR increased bone turnover and resulted in lower femoral trabecular bone volume (P < 0.05), higher cortical bone surface (P < 0.001), and reduced femur length (P < 0.01), bending moment (P < 0.05), and moment of inertia (P = 0.001) compared with AL. HP intake reduced bone turnover and tended to suppress parathyroid hormone (PTH) (P = 0.06) and increase trabecular vBMD (P < 0.05) compared with NP but did not affect bone strength. Compared with milk, soy suppressed PTH (P < 0.05) and increased cortical vBMD (P < 0.05) and calcium content of the femur (P < 0.01) but did not affect strength variables. During AL conditions, transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 6 was higher for soy than milk (P < 0.05) and HP compared with NP (P < 0.05). These data demonstrate that both HP and soy diets suppress PTH, and HP attenuates bone turnover and increases vBMD regardless of FR, although these differences do not affect bone strength. The effects of HP and soy may be due in part to enhanced intestinal calcium transporter expression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Detonations of military ordnance will leave various amounts of chemical residue on training ranges. Significant adverse ecological effects from these residues have not been documented except for ordnance containing white phosphorus. At a military training range in Alaska, USA, the deaths of thousands of waterfowl due to poisoning from white phosphorus ordnance prompted a two-decade-long investigation of the extent of the contamination, remediation technologies, and methods to assess and monitor the effectiveness of the remediation. This paper gives an overview of these investigations and provides the outcome of the remediation efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Streams crossing underground coal mines may lose flow, whereas abandoned mine drainage (AMD) restores flow downstream. During 2005-2012, discharge from the Pine Knot Mine Tunnel, the largest AMD source in the upper Schuylkill River Basin, had near-neutral pH and elevated concentrations of iron, manganese and sulphate. Discharge from the tunnel responded rapidly to recharge but exhibited a prolonged recession compared with nearby streams, consistent with rapid infiltration of surface water and slow release of groundwater from the mine complex. Dissolved iron was attenuated downstream by oxidation and precipitation, whereas dissolved CO2 degassed and pH increased. During high flow conditions, the AMD and downstream waters exhibited decreased pH, iron and sulphate with increased acidity that were modelled by mixing net-alkaline AMD with recharge or run-off having low ionic strength and low pH. Attenuation of dissolved iron within the river was least effective during high flow conditions because of decreased transport time coupled with inhibitory effects of low pH on oxidation kinetics. A numerical model of groundwater flow was calibrated by using groundwater levels in the Pine Knot Mine and discharge data for the Pine Knot Mine Tunnel and West Branch Schuylkill River during a snowmelt event in January 2012. Although the calibrated model indicated substantial recharge to the mine complex took place away from streams, simulation of rapid changes in mine pool level and tunnel discharge during a high flow event in May 2012 required a source of direct recharge to the Pine Knot Mine. Such recharge produced small changes in mine pool level and rapid changes in tunnel flow rate because of extensive unsaturated storage capacity and high transmissivity within the mine complex. Thus, elimination of stream leakage could have a small effect on the annual discharge from the tunnel, but a large effect on peak discharge and associated water quality downstream. Published 2013.

AB - This investigation assessed the thermophysiological and subjective impacts of different respirator ambient air cooling options while wearing chemical and biological personal protective equipment in a warm environment (32.7 ± 0.4°C, 49.6 ± 6.5% RH). Ten volunteers participated in 90-min heat exposure trials with and without respirator (Control) wear and performed computer-generated tasks while seated. Ambient air cooling was provided to respirators modified to blow air to the forehead (FHC) or to the forehead and the breathing zone (BZC) of a full-facepiece air-purifying respirator using a low-flow (45 L·min−1) mini-blower. An unmodified respirator (APR) trial was also completed. The highest body temperatures (TTY) and least favorable comfort ratings were observed for the APR condition. With ambient cooling over the last 60 min of heat exposure, TTYaveraged 37.4 ± 0.6°C for Control, 38.0 ± 0.4°C for APR, 37.8 ± 0.5°C for FHC, and 37.6 ± 0.7°C for BZC conditions independent of time. Both the FHC and BZC ambient air cooling conditions reduced facial skin temperatures, reduced the rise in body temperatures, and led to more favorable subjective comfort and thermal sensation ratings over time compared to the APR condition; however statistical differences among conditions were inconsistent. Independent of exposure time, average breathing apparatus comfort scores with BZC (7.2 ± 2.5) were significantly different from both Control (8.9 ± 1.4) and APR (6.5 ± 2.2) conditions when ambient cooling was activated. These findings suggest that low-flow ambient air cooling of the face under low work rate conditions and mild hyperthermia may be a practical method to minimize the thermophysiological strain and reduce perceived respirator discomfort.

AB - ABSTRACT Groundwater seepage can lead to the erosion and failure of streambanks and hillslopes. Two groundwater instability mechanisms include (i) tension failure due to the seepage force exceeding the soil shear strength or (ii) undercutting by seepage erosion and eventual mass failure. Previous research on these mechanisms has been limited to non-cohesive and low cohesion soils. This study utilized a constant-head, seepage soil box packed with more cohesive (6% and 15% clay) sandy loam soils at prescribed bulk densities (1.30 to 1.70 Mg m−3) and with a bank angle of 90° to investigate the controls on failure mechanisms due to seepage forces. A dimensionless seepage mechanism (SM) number was derived and evaluated based on the ratio of resistive cohesion forces to the driving forces leading to instability including seepage gradients with an assumed steady-state seepage angle. Tension failures and undercutting were both observed dependent primarily on the saturated hydraulic conductivity, effective cohesion, and seepage gradient. Also, shapes of seepage undercuts for these more cohesive soils were wider and less deep compared to undercuts in sand and loamy sand soils. Direct shear tests were used to quantify the geotechnical properties of the soils packed at the various bulk densities. The SM number reasonably predicted the seepage failure mechanism (tension failure versus undercutting) based on the geotechnical properties and assumed steady-state seepage gradients of the physical-scale laboratory experiments, with some uncertainty due to measurement of geotechnical parameters, assumed seepage gradient direction, and the expected width of the failure block. It is hypothesized that the SM number can be used to evaluate seepage failure mechanisms when a streambank or hillslope experiences steady-state seepage forces. When prevalent, seepage gradient forces should be considered when analyzing bank stability, and therefore should be incorporated into commonly used stability models.

AB - ABSTRACT This paper details how activity-based passive sampling methods (PSMs), which provide information on bioavailability in terms of freely dissolved contaminant concentrations ( Cfree), can be used to better inform risk management decision making at multiple points in the process of assessing and managing contaminated sediment sites. PSMs can increase certainty in site investigation and management, because Cfree is a better predictor of bioavailability than total bulk sediment concentration ( Ctotal) for 4 key endpoints included in conceptual site models (benthic organism toxicity, bioaccumulation, sediment flux, and water column exposures). The use of passive sampling devices (PSDs) presents challenges with respect to representative sampling for estimating average concentrations and other metrics relevant for exposure and risk assessment. These challenges can be addressed by designing studies that account for sources of variation associated with PSMs and considering appropriate spatial scales to meet study objectives. Possible applications of PSMs include: quantifying spatial and temporal trends in bioavailable contaminants, identifying and evaluating contaminant source contributions, calibrating site-specific models, and, improving weight-of-evidence based decision frameworks. PSM data can be used to assist in delineating sediment management zones based on likelihood of exposure effects, monitor remedy effectiveness, and, evaluate risk reduction after sediment treatment, disposal, or beneficial reuse after management actions. Examples are provided illustrating why PSMs and freely dissolved contaminant concentrations ( Cfree) should be incorporated into contaminated sediment investigations and study designs to better focus on and understand contaminant bioavailability, more accurately estimate exposure to sediment-associated contaminants, and better inform risk management decisions. Research and communication needs for encouraging broader use are discussed. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2014;10:224-236. © 2014 The Authors.

AB - SINCE THE INVASION OF AFGHANISTAN, the United States has utilized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to locate, surveil and kill members of the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and its associated forces. Such killings have decimated the leadership of these groups and disrupted their operations. However, there are collateral effects from UAV killings including civilian deaths. These deaths increase resentment and hatred toward the US, which is channeled by terrorist groups to recruit new members and for local support. Moreover, targeted killings outside a combat zone have political and diplomatic consequences. This paper argues that the current uses of UAV are legal under international and domestic law. However, it proposes amended targeting criteria, greater transparency and increased checks on the executive branch for future use of UAVs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Public leaders and managers today are being challenged by unprecedented, complex problems. Tackling "wicked problems" requires a new way of thinking, and new methods and tools for building models that realistically account for social and natural phenomena, gather and structure convincing evidence, and predict policy outcomes accurately. To prepare future and current public decision makers for a rapidly changing, complex world, we suggest a multidimensional framework of complexity in public policy settings that encompasses both analytic and socially constructed complexity, and introduce a simulation-based learning environment (SBLE) in which the power of traditional learning environments is augmented by a computer simulation model. In this study, we report on our experimental attempt to teach students in the MPA classroom about complexity by creating and implementing a SBLE with a U.S. Gulf Coast disaster preparedness case.

AB - This paper provides a review of progress in catalytic conversion of JP-8 fuel and its surrogates made over the last decade. The effect of different types of catalyst and support materials, as well as different preparation methods, is discussed in detail. The derivation of kinetic models for computational studies is also examined. Particular attention is given to the development of sulfur tolerant catalysts and the mechanisms by which catalyst poisoning occurs, as this is an important obstacle to overcome for systems using sulfur-laden fuel. Suggestions for further research are offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study provides the first evaluation of the cytotoxic effects of the recently identified palytoxin (PLTX) analog, ovatoxin-a (OVTX-a), the major toxin produced by Ostreopsis cf. ovata in the Mediterranean Sea. Its increasing detection during Ostreopsis blooms and in seafood highlights the need to characterize its toxic effects and to set up appropriate detection methods. OVTX-a is about 100 fold less potent than PLTX in reducing HaCaT cells viability (EC50 = 1.1 ? 10-9 M vs 1.8 ? 10-11 M, MTT test) in agreement with a reduced binding affinity (Kd = 1.2 ? 10-9 vs 2.7 ? 10-11 M, saturation experiments on intact cells). Similarly, OVTX-a hemolytic effect is lower than that of the reference PLTX compound. Ost-D shows the lowest cytotoxicity toward HaCaT keratinocytes, suggesting the lack of a hydroxyl group at C44 as a critical feature for PLTXs cytotoxic effects. A sandwich ELISA developed for PLTX detects also OVTX-a in a sensitive (LOD = 4.2 and LOQ = 5.6 ng/mL) and accurate manner (Bias = 0.3%), also in O. cf. ovata extracts and contaminated mussels. Although in vitro OVTX-a appears less toxic than PLTX, its cytotoxicity at nanomolar concentrations after short exposure time rises some concern for human health. The sandwich ELISA can be a viable screening method for OVTXs detection in monitoring program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - To be identified as a wetland under U.S. Federal regulations, a site must, under normal circumstances, support vegetation dominated by hydrophytes. A list of hydrophytes and their wetland indicator rating is published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as the National Wetland Plant List (NWPL) and is the basis for assessing the vegetation criteria of Federal wetland delineation manuals. Ratings are primarily based on expert opinion and few empirical studies have been done, particularly at landscape scales. In this study, we developed an approach for quantifying plant indicator ratings at broad spatial scales and used it to estimate the frequency that Picea pungens Engelm. (Colorado blue spruce) occurs in wetlands across a 22,921 km study area in the southern Rocky Mountains. Species distribution models were developed and used to inform a multistage field sampling design. Wetland soil and hydrology indicators were assessed around 423 randomly selected trees in 22 HUC12 watersheds. Only 16.5 % of trees occurred in wetlands, suggesting that a rating of facultative upland (FACU) is more appropriate than the currently published rating of facultative (FAC) for our study area. This study demonstrates that it is feasible to quantitatively evaluate ratings for species even at broad landscape scales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The US Army is concerned about the multiple critical-resource issues faced by its installations, with water being key among these resources. Adverse water issues include limited supply, rising cost, and impaired quality; strategies are needed to mitigate these undesirable effects. A major obstacle to developing strategies is the lack of detailed information about how Army facilities use water because on Army installations, water use is typically metered at the aggregate level rather than by area, function, or individual building. New research projects are focused on developing methods and models to disaggregate site-level monthly water meter data and identify classes of facilities on the basis of function, equipment, and schedules of use. Draft methods were tested using information obtained from an installation water audit at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. The outcomes of these models will help inform future conservation strategies as Army installations seek to reduce utility costs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - NTO (3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one) is one of the new explosive compounds used in insensitive munitions (IM) developed to replace traditional explosives, TNT and RDX. Data on NTO fate and transport is needed to determine its environmental behavior and potential for groundwater contamination. We conducted a series of kinetic and equilibrium batch experiments to characterize the fate of NTO in soils and the effect of soil geochemical properties on NTO-soil interactions. A set of experiments was also conducted using sterilized soils to evaluate the contribution of biodegradation to NTO attenuation. Measured pH values for NTO solutions decreased from 5.98 ± 0.13 to 3.50 ± 0.06 with increase in NTO concentration from 0.78 to 100 mg L −1 . Conversely, the pH of soil suspensions was not significantly affected by NTO in this concentration range. NTO experienced minimal adsorption, with measured adsorption coefficients being less than 1 cm 3 g −1 for all studied soils. There was a highly significant inverse relationship between the measured NTO adsorption coefficients and soil pH (P = 0.00011), indicating the role of NTO and soil charge in adsorption processes. In kinetic experiments, 1st order transformation rate constant estimates ranged between 0.0004 h −1 and 0.0142 h −1 (equivalent to half-lives of 72 and 2 d, respectively), and correlated positively with organic carbon in the soil. Total attenuation of NTO was higher in untreated versus sterilized samples, suggesting that NTO was being biodegraded. The information presented herein can be used to help evaluate NTO potential for natural attenuation in soils. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Rift Valley fever (RVF) poses a risk as a potential agent in bioterrorism or agroterrorism. A live attenuated RVF vaccine (RVF MP-12) has been shown to be safe and protective in animals and showed promise in two initial clinical trials. In the present study, healthy adult human volunteers ( N = 56) received a single injection of (a) RVF MP-12, administered subcutaneously (SQ) at a concentration of 10 4.7 plaque-forming units (pfu) (SQ Group); (b) RVF MP-12, administered intramuscularly (IM) at 10 3.4 pfu (IM Group 1); (c) RVF MP-12, administered IM at 10 4.4 pfu (IM Group 2); or (d) saline (Placebo Group). The vaccine was well tolerated by volunteers in all dose and route groups. Infrequent and minor adverse events were seen among recipients of both placebo and RVF MP-12. One subject had viremia detectable by direct plaque assay, and six subjects from IM Group 2 had transient low-titer viremia detectable only by nucleic acid amplification. Of the 43 vaccine recipients, 40 (93%) achieved neutralizing antibodies (measured as an 80% plaque reduction neutralization titer [PRNT 80 ]) as well as RVF-specific IgM and IgG. The highest peak geometric mean PRNT 80 titers were observed in IM Group 2. Of 34 RVF MP-12 recipients available for testing 1 year following inoculation, 28 (82%) remained seropositive (PRNT 80 ≥ 1:20); this included 20 of 23 vaccinees (87%) from IM Group 2. The live attenuated RVF MP-12 vaccine was safe and immunogenic at the doses and routes studied. Given the need for an effective vaccine against RVF virus, further evaluation in humans is warranted.

AB - An outbreak or deliberate release of Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus could have serious public health and socioeconomic consequences. A safe RVF vaccine capable of eliciting long-lasting immunity after a single injection is urgently needed. The live attenuated RVF MP-12 vaccine candidate has shown promise in Phase 1 clinical trials; no evidence of reversion to virulence has been identified in numerous animal studies. The objective of this Phase 2 clinical trial was to (a) further examine the safety and immunogenicity of RVF MP-12 in RVF virus–naïve humans and (b) characterize isolates of RVF MP-12 virus recovered from the blood of vaccinated subjects to evaluate the genetic stability of MP-12 attenuation. We found that RVF MP-12 was well tolerated, causing mostly mild reactions that resolved without sequelae. Of 19 subjects, 18 (95%) and 19 (100%) achieved, respectively, 80% and 50% plaque reduction neutralization titers (PRNT 80 and PRNT 50 ) ≥ 1:20 by postvaccination day 28. All 18 PRNT 80 responders maintained PRNT 80 and PRNT 50 ≥ 1:40 until at least postvaccination month 12. Viremia was undetectable in the plasma of any subject by direct plaque assay techniques. However, 5 of 19 vaccinees were positive for MP-12 isolates in plasma by blind passage of plasma on Vero cells. Vaccine virus was also recovered from buffy coat material from one of those vaccinees and from one additional vaccinee. Through RNA sequencing of MP-12 isolates, we found no reversions of amino acids to those of the parent virulent virus (strain ZH548). Five years after a single dose of RVF MP-12 vaccine, 8 of 9 vaccinees (89%) maintained a PRNT 80 ≥ 1:20. These findings support the continued development of RVF MP-12 as a countermeasure against RVF virus in humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Emerging technologies present significant challenges to researchers, decision-makers, industry professionals, and other stakeholder groups due to the lack of quantitative risk, benefit, and cost data associated with their use. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) can support early decisions for emerging technologies when data is too sparse or uncertain for traditional risk assessment. It does this by integrating expert judgment with available quantitative and qualitative inputs across multiple criteria to provide relative technology scores. Here, an MCDA framework provides preliminary insights on the suitability of emerging technologies for environmental remediation by comparing nanotechnology and synthetic biology to conventional remediation methods. Subject matter experts provided judgments regarding the importance of criteria used in the evaluations and scored the technologies with respect to those criteria. The results indicate that synthetic biology may be preferred over nanotechnology and conventional methods for high expected benefits and low deployment costs but that conventional technology may be preferred over emerging technologies for reduced risks and development costs. In the absence of field data regarding the risks, benefits, and costs of emerging technologies, structuring evidence-based expert judgment through a weighted hierarchy of topical questions may be helpful to inform preliminary risk governance and guide emerging technology development and policy.

AB - Marl prairie, a diverse graminoid-dominated freshwater vegetation community in the Florida Everglades, provides a specialized niche for the federally endangered Cape Sable seaside sparrow (CSSS). This paper describes a regional habitat suitability modeling approach to evaluating how changes in management from Everglades restoration may affect the CSSS. The Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow Marl Prairie Indicator ( CSSSMarlPrairie ) is a spatially explicit model that integrates frequency (return periods) of target hydrologic conditions to simulate the anticipated response of marl prairie CSSS habitats to fluxing hydropatterns resulting from restoration projects, water management operations, and climatic change. The model integrates CSSS field survey data with the hydrologic targets at the resolution of the hydrologic simulation model (in this case, the Regional Simulation Model). The application of return periods for hydrologic events provides a novel approach for simulation of anticipated marl prairie responses in the southern Everglades and is readily applicable to evaluating targets of modeled wetland restoration scenarios elsewhere. CSSSMarlPrairie is intended to be used for decision support, in association with a suite of ecological models for additional species of management concern, to facilitate planning of ecosystem restoration projects such as those in the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan and recovery of the marl prairie habitats of the CSSS. A tentatively selected restoration plan for the central Everglades is projected to have mostly minor overall impacts to marl prairie CSSS habitats. Local substantial habitat shifts in and adjacent to designated habitat boundaries have been identified, however, that warrant management consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper describes the development and application of a reservoir management decision support system for evaluating floodplain benefits and socioeconomic trade-offs of reservoir management alternatives in the Connecticut River watershed. The decision support system is composed of a reservoir system simulation model, an ecological model, and two river hydraulics models. The reservoir model simulated current operations at 73 reservoirs and flows at locations of interest in the Connecticut River watershed. Regulated flows from the reservoir model were compared with unregulated flows, both statistically and spatially, for a suite of environmental flow metrics based on inundation patterns related to floodplain vegetation communities. Analyses demonstrate use of the decision support system and show how its use illuminates (1) trends in existing hydrologic alteration for the Connecticut River mainstem and one of its tributaries, the Farmington River, and (2) management scenarios that might have ecological benefits for floodplain plant communities. The decision support system was used to test two management scenarios to assess potential floodplain benefits and associated trade-offs in hydropower generation and flood risk. The process described shows the usefulness of large-scale reservoir management decision support systems that incorporate environmental considerations in assisting with watershed planning and environmental flow implementation.

AB - Low water levels in the Great Lakes have recently had significant financial impacts on the region's commercial shipping, which transports hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of bulk goods each year. Cargo capacity is a function of a ship's draft, the distance between water level and the ship's bottom, and lower water levels force ships to reduce cargo loads to prevent running aground in shallow harbors and locks. Financial risk transfer instruments, such as index-based insurance contracts, may provide an adaptable method for managing these financial risks. In this work, a relationship between water levels and shipping revenues is developed and used in an actuarial analysis of the frequency and magnitude of revenue losses. This analysis is used to develop a standardized suite of binary financial contracts, which are indexed to water levels and priced according to predefined thresholds. These contracts are then combined to form hedging portfolios with different objectives for the shippers. Results suggest that binary contracts could substantially reduce the risk of financial losses during low lake level periods and at a relatively low cost of only one to three percent of total revenues, depending on coverage level.

AB - A sediment transport module added to the Hydrologic Engineering Center's Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) Version 4.0 computes surface erosion, reach routing, and reservoir trap efficiency. The HEC-HMS sediment transport module was applied to the Upper North Bosque River Watershed (UNBRW) in central Texas, a well-instrumented watershed with good parameterization and calibration data, to test model robustness. The UNBRWis 98% rural including rangeland, forage, and dairy waste application fields. Simulation results were compared to observed average daily total suspended solid (TSS) data at five gauge locations. The HEC-HMS results matched observed TSS across the UNBRW (<1% error at all gauges) during model calibration and maintained modest residuals (-31 to 12% error) during the validation period. The HEC-HMS also performed well compared to published results through two other commonly used models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Real-time particle monitors are essential for accurately estimating exposure to fine particles indoors. However, many such monitors tend to be prohibitively expensive for some applications, such as a tenant or homeowner curious about the quality of the air in their home. A lower cost version (the Dylos Air Quality Monitor) has recently been introduced, but it requires appropriate calibration to reflect the mass concentration units required for exposure assessment. We conducted a total of 64 experiments with a suite of instruments including a Dylos DC1100, another real-time laser photometer (TSI SidePak™ Model AM-510 Personal Aerosol Monitor), and a gravimetric sampling apparatus to estimate Dylos calibration factors for emissions from 17 different common indoor sources including cigarettes, incense, fried bacon, chicken, and hamburger. Comparison of minute-by-minute data from the Dylos with the gravimetrically calibrated SidePak yielded relationships that enable the conversion of the raw Dylos particle counts less than 2.5 μm (in #/0.01 ft3) to estimated PM2.5 mass concentration (e.g.μg m−3). The relationship between the exponentially-decaying Dylos particle counts and PM2.5 mass concentration can be described by a theoretically-derived power law with source-specific empirical parameters. A linear relationship (calibration factor) is applicable to fresh or quickly decaying emissions (i.e., before the aerosol has aged and differential decay rates introduce curvature into the relationship). The empirical parameters for the power-law relationships vary greatly both between and within source types, although linear factors appear to have lower uncertainty. The Dylos Air Quality Monitor is likely most useful for providing instantaneous feedback and context on mass particle levels in home and work situations for field-survey or personal awareness applications.

AB - Unconventional hydrocarbon development-induced seismic hazard in historically aseismic regions is more frequent and concentrated than seismicity in established tectonic high-hazard zones, and the current standard of practice for risk assessment for infrastructure is not applicable for this highly variable, induced hazard. A substantial seismic increase has been observed in historically aseismic regions and in close proximity to federal infrastructure within Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Seismological events M2.0 and greater, spanning February 8, 1950 until October 20, 2013 were analyzed to identify and assess the hazard potential. Geospatial and temporal observations correlate the seismic increase to the rise of unconventional hydrocarbon development, wherein all production components contribute to weakening of the subsurface and induced seismicity. Unconventional hydrocarbon production hazard has become more analogous with deep ore mining in terms of energy release and is subjected to the same causality phenomena and associative hazards with significant implications towards quantifying the risk to infrastructure health and longevity.

AB - Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is a photocatalyst widely used for the degradation of inorganic and organic contaminants in the environment; however, its lack of chemical specificity can be a particular limitation since every species in solution, including valued, innocuous, and deactivating compounds, will be degraded or deleterious to the process. Here, we describe a means to target the photocatalysis by surface modification of nanoparticulate TiO 2 with a 13 amino acid streptavidin binding peptide (SBP) for the selective degradation of streptavidin, a 60 kDa tetrameric protein. Modification of the TiO 2 surface with the affinity peptide was confirmed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV/Vis absorbance, and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), while streptavidin binding and affinity to bound SBP were tested using fluorescently tagged antibodies against streptavidin. Results show that the SBP retains its affinity toward streptavidin after immobilization onto TiO 2 . Photodegradation studies using the visible region of simulated solar radiation (≥360 nm) showed rapid streptavidin degradation by SBP–TiO 2 both in solution and while the photocatalyst was immobilized as a thin film on a glass substrate. In contrast, photocatalytic degradation of a non-target protein, lysozyme, was inhibited by the SBP monolayer and incompletely degraded, indicating that surface modification with biorecognition agents can control and modulate the photocatalytic process. Moreover, after extended illumination (3 h), the SBP-modified TiO 2 surface retained its ability to bind streptavidin demonstrating that the SBP is stable at the TiO 2 surface and that the SBP–TiO 2 surface is reusable. These results indicate that the modification of TiO 2 with covalently bound peptide recognition moieties offers the ability to selectively degrade target proteins of interest, leaving non-target components largely unaffected.

AB - Trait-selective mortality is of considerable management and conservation interest, especially when trends are similar across multiple species of conservation concern. In the Columbia River basin, thousands of juvenile Pacific salmonidsOncorhynchusspp. are collected each year and are tagged at juvenile bypass system (JBS) facilities located at hydroelectric dams, thus allowing the tracking of population-level performance metrics (e.g., juvenile survival and juvenile-to-adult survival). Several studies have suggested that juvenile salmonid survival is both size dependent and condition dependent, but little is known about trait-selective collection at JBS facilities. Trait-selective collection (e.g., length-based or condition-based selectivity) is particularly important, as inferences to population-level performance metrics may be biased if both the survival and collection processes are influenced by similar characteristics. We used a capture–mark–recapture study to investigate length- and condition-selective survival and detection probabilities for two salmonid species in the Columbia River basin. In 2014, juvenile steelheadO. mykiss(n= 11,201) and yearling Chinook SalmonO. tshawytscha(n= 7,943) were PIT-tagged, measured (FL), examined for external condition characteristics (descaling, body injuries, fin damage, or disease symptoms), and released into the Lower Granite Dam JBS facility on the Snake River to continue seaward migration. Results indicated similar trends in both length- and condition-selective juvenile survival and detection probabilities. For both species, survival probability was higher for longer, nondegraded individuals (those without descaling, body injuries, or fin damage). Trends in detection probability were also consistent across species: shorter, degraded individuals were more likely to be detected at downstream JBS facilities than longer, healthier individuals. These results suggest that similar characteristics (FL and external condition) affect survival and detection processes for PIT-tagged steelhead and yearling Chinook Salmon and that JBS facilities may selectively collect smaller, degraded individuals with lower probabilities of survival. The consistency in trait-selective survival and detection results has important management implications for several species of conservation concern.

AB - Infrastructure spending is such a large component of a railroad budget that it must be prioritized to meet the concurrent safety and line capacity requirements. Current bridge inspection and rating practices recommend observing bridge movements under a live load to help assess bridge conditions. However, measuring bridge movements under trains in the field is a challenging task. Even when they are measured, the relationships between bridge displacements and different loads/speeds are generally unknown. The research reported herein shows the effects of known train loadings, speeds, and traffic directions on the magnitude and frequency of displacements as measured on timber pile bents of a Class I railroad bridge. Researchers collected both vertical and transverse (lateral) displacements under revenue service traffic and work trains using LVDTs with a sampling frequency of 100 Hz. To investigate the effect of traffic on timber railroad bridges, displacements were measured under crossing events at different speeds and directions of a test train of known speed and weight provided by the railroad for the field experiment. The results indicate that bridge transverse displacements could help to capture critical changes in timber railroad bridge serviceability (i.e., ability to safely carry out railroad operations) as a function of railroad loading, speed, and direction.

AB - To determine if trinitrotoluene (TNT) forms nonextractable residues in mussels ( Mytilus galloprovincialis ) and fish ( Cyprinodon variegatus ) and to measure the relative degree of accumulation as compared to extractable TNT and its major metabolites, organisms were exposed to water fortified with 14 C-TNT. After 24 h, nonextractable residues made up 75% (mussel) and 83% (fish) while TNT accounted for 2% of total radioactivity. Depuration half-lives for extractable TNT, aminodinitrotoluenes (ADNTs) and diaminonitrotoluenes (DANTs) were fast initially (<0.5 h), but slower for nonextractable residues. Nonextractable residues from organisms were identified as ADNTs and DANTs using 0.1 M HCL for solubilization followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Recovered metabolites only accounted for a small fraction of the bound residue quantified using a radiotracer likely because of low extraction or hydrolysis efficiency or alternative pathways of incorporation of radiolabel into tissue.

AB - Fort Huachuca, Arizona, located 60 miles (96 km) southeast of Tucson, has had 35 years of experience with various renewable energy systems. This article discusses lessons learned from the successes and failures over the past 35 years, including: an indoor pool solar water heating system installed in 1980; a solar domestic hot water system installed in 1981; a grid connected photovoltaic (PV) system installed in 1982; transpired air solar collectors (Solarwalls™) installed in 2001; daylighting installed in 2001; a 10-kW wind turbine installed in 2002; a 1 MW wind turbine installed in September 2011; PV powered outdoor lighting installed in 1994; a prototype Dish/Stirling solar thermal electric generator installed in 1996; two 30-kW building integrated photovoltaic systems installed on new membrane roofs in January 2009; a 42.84 kW photovoltaic system that was moved from the Pentagon in June 2009 and was operational in early November 2009 on a truck shed roof at Fort Huachuca; and a utility owned 13.6 MW (AC) photovoltaic system installed in 2014. Also discussed is an experimental solar attic system that collects the hot air in an attic and uses a heat exchanger and tank to produce solar domestic hot water. This article discusses the design, installation, metering, operations, and maintenance of these systems, and also work in progress on the installation of commercial, off-the-shelf 3-kW Dish/Stirling solar thermal electric generators and solar thermal/natural gas-to-electric systems at a central plant. Discussions also include biogas (methane from a wastewater digester) and biomass (a wood chip boiler) recently installed at a central heating/cooling plant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Model studies were conducted to investigate the potential coral reef sediment exposure from dredging associated with proposed development of a deepwater wharf in Apra Harbor, Guam. The Particle Tracking Model (PTM) was applied to quantify the exposure of coral reefs to material suspended by the dredging operations at two alternative sites. Key PTM features include the flexible capability of continuous multiple releases of sediment parcels, control of parcel/substrate interaction, and the ability to efficiently track vast numbers of parcels. This flexibility has facilitated simulating the combined effects of sediment released from clamshell dredging and chiseling within Apra Harbor. Because the rate of material released into the water column by some of the processes is not well understood or known a priori , the modeling approach was to bracket parameters within reasonable ranges to produce a suite of potential results from multiple model runs. Sensitivity analysis to model parameters is used to select the appropriate parameter values for bracketing. Data analysis results include mapping the time series and the maximum values of sedimentation, suspended sediment concentration, and deposition rate. Data were used to quantify various exposure processes that affect coral species in Apra Harbor. The goal of this research is to develop a robust methodology for quantifying and bracketing exposure mechanisms to coral (or other receptors) from dredging operations. These exposure values were utilized in an ecological assessment to predict effects (coral reef impacts) from various dredging scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Coral reefs are in decline worldwide due to anthropogenic stressors including reductions in water and substratum quality. Dredging results in the mobilization of sediments, which can stress and kill corals via increasing turbidity, tissue damage and burial. The Particle Tracking Model (PTM) was applied to predict the potential impacts of dredging-associated sediment exposure on the coral reef ecosystems of Apra Harbor, Guam. The data were interpreted using maps of bathymetry and coral abundance and distribution in conjunction with impact parameters of suspended sediment concentration (turbidity) and sedimentation using defined coral response thresholds. The results are presented using a “stoplight” model of negligible or limited impacts to coral reefs (green), moderate stress from which some corals would be expected to recover while others would not (yellow) and severe stress resulting in mortality (red). The red conditions for sediment deposition rate and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) were defined as values exceeding 25 mg cm −2 d −1 over any 30 day window and >20 mg/l for any 18 days in any 90 day period over a column of water greater than 2 m, respectively. The yellow conditions were defined as values >10 mg cm −2 d −1 and <25 mg cm −2 d −1 over any 30 day period, and as 20% of 3 months' concentration exceeding 10 mg/l for the deposition and SSC, respectively. The model also incorporates the potential for cumulative effects on the assumption that even sub-lethal stress levels can ultimately lead to mortality in a multi-stressor system. This modeling approach can be applied by resource managers and regulatory agencies to support management decisions related to planning, site selection, damage reduction, and compensatory mitigation.

AB - PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) oxidation (0.121–6.04 μM) by heat-activated persulfate was evaluated at 20–60 °C with 4.2–84 mM S 2 O 8 2 − and in the presence of soluble fuel components to assess feasibility for in-situ remediation of groundwater. 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic acid/sulfonate (6:2 FTSA) and PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) persulfate oxidation was also evaluated in a subset of conditions given their co-occurrence at many sites. High performance liquid chromatography electron spray tandem mass spectrometry was used for organic analysis and fluoride was measured using a fluoride-specific electrode. PFOA pseudo-1st order transformation rates ( k 1,PFOA ) increased with increasing temperature (half-lives from 0.1 to 7 d for 60 to 30 °C) sequentially removing CF 2 groups (‘unzipping’) to shorter chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) and F − . At 50 °C, a 5-fold increase in S 2 O 8 2 − led to a 5-fold increase in k 1,PFOA after which self-scavenging by sulfate radicals decreased the relative rate of increase with more S 2 O 8 2 − . Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene did not affect k 1,PFOA even at 40 times higher molar concentrations than PFOA. A modeling approach to explore pathways strongly supported that for 6:2 FTSA, both the ethyl linkage and CF 2 –CH 2 bond of 6:2 FTSA oxidize simultaneously, resulting in a ratio of ∼25/75 PFHpA/PFHxA. The effectiveness of heat-activated S 2 O 8 2 − on PFOA oxidation was reduced in a soil slurry; therefore, repeated persulfate injections are required to efficiently achieve complete oxidation in the field. However, PFOS remained unaltered even at higher activation temperatures, thus limiting the sole use of heat-activated persulfate for perfluoroalkyl substances removal in the field.

AB - Arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) is the most important topic in current contract law and commentary. The Supreme Court has issued eight merits decisions construing the FAA since 2011, the lower state and federal courts issued more than 1,000 decisions considering the FAA in 2014, and there were 81 fulllength articles, notes, and comments on arbitration in the same year. Recently, three commentators, Professor Margaret Jane Radin of the University of Michigan Law School, Professor Nancy S. Kim of the California Western School of Law, and former Lecturer in Law James P. Dawson of the Yale Law School, have proposed the use of an expanded economic duress defense to help consumers combat unfair pre-dispute arbitration agreements. This Article summarizes each commentator's position and identifies my concerns. While such arbitration clauses can sometimes be unfair, all three proposals are flawed on numerous grounds. The primary problem is that the authors' revised duress doctrines draw unworkable distinctions between improper coercion of offerees and legitimate bargaining techniques in a free market society. My analysis is the first in the legal literature that comprehensively discusses the connection between the economic duress defense generally and FAA arbitration specifically. As I will demonstrate, the two subject areas emphasize freedom of contract as they promote the necessary certainty and predictability of contractual relations. Thus, they accomplish the proper balance between binding the buyer to the arbitral process he agreed to in the contract and prohibiting the seller from enforcing a bargain if he procured it through unduly coercive tactics.

N2 - Considering transtibial amputation (TTA) rehabilitation costs and complexity, high-quality literature should inform clinical practice. Systematic reviews (SRs) suggest this is not the case. This article's purpose was to review the highest-quality evidence available to guide clinical practice for TTA regarding five prosthetic intervention areas. Six databases were searched for high-quality SRs and prospective clinical trials (randomized clinical trials [RCTs]). Reviewers screened, sorted, rated (i.e., methodologic quality, bias risk), and extracted article data. Meta-analyses were conducted when possible. Thirty-one references were included (25 RCTs and 6 SRs). Five topical areas emerged (alignment, feet and ankles, interface, postoperative care, pylons). Twenty-three evidence statements were supported by level 2 evidence and eight by level 1 evidence. All RCTs reported randomization and reasonable data presentation. Concealed allocation and blinding were not widely used. Mean attrition was 11%. SRs included no meta-analyses. Functional level was poorly reported. Grouping feet and ankle components by functional classification enabled meta-analyses, though variance was considerable given the small sample sizes. Prosthetic interventions are generally safe for TTAs. High-quality literature enabled formulation of evidence statements to support select clinical practice areas, though quantity was lacking. Thus, numerous topics related to TTA care lack rigorous evidence. Although blinding in prosthetic research requires increased funding and effort, it could greatly improve the methodologic quality of prosthetic research. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - This study examined the neurocognitive performance of U.S. military personnel completing the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (version 4) TBI Military (ANAM4 TBI-MIL) battery as part of the Department of Defense Neurocognitive Functional Assessment Program. Descriptive analyses utilizing the ANAM4TBI Military Performance Database were performed. We examined ANAM Composite Score (ACS) differences between five injury subgroups (no injury, brain injury with current symptoms, brain injury without current symptoms, nonbrain injury with current symptoms, and nonbrain injury without current symptoms) using general linear mixed modeling. Almost 11% (70,472/641,285) reported brain injury in the 4 years before assessment. The ACS differed significantly by injury group (p < 0.0001). In comparison to the no injury group, those reporting brain injury with current symptoms (d = -0.44) and nonbrain injury with current symptoms (d = -0.24) demonstrated significantly reduced ACS scores (p < 0.0001) indicative of reduced neurocognitive proficiency. In this population-based study of U.S. military personnel, neurocognitive performance was significantly associated with reported injury within the past 4 years among those experiencing current symptoms. Occupational programs focusing on prospective brain health of injured population groups are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - As part of the international response to control the recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the Department of Defense has deployed military personnel to train Liberians to manage the disease and build treatment units and a hospital for health care volunteers. These steps have assisted in providing a robust medical system and augment Ebola diagnostic capability within the affected nations. In order to prepare for the deployment of U.S. military personnel, the infectious disease risks of the regions must be determined. This evaluation allows for the establishment of appropriate force health protection posture for personnel while deployed, as well as management plans for illnesses presenting after redeployment. Our objective was to detail the epidemiology and infectious disease risks for military personnel in West Africa, particularly for Liberia, along with lessons learned from prior deployments.

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

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

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

AB - Objectives: Training-related injury is a threat to military health and readiness. Prevalence of potential risk factors for training-related injury can change with U.S. Army recruitment goals and may influence basic combat training (BCT) injury rates. This article describes challenges of using administrative data to identify a trainee cohort and describes demographic and training characteristics across the five BCT locations. Methods: Data from the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database were used to identify a U.S. Army-wide cohort of first-time trainees from January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2007 and describe its characteristics. Results: The cohort includes 368,102 first-time trainees. The annual number starting BCT increased from 52,187 in 2002 to 68,808 in 2004. The proportion of males increased from 81.57% in 2003 to 83.84% in 2007. Mean (SD) age increased from 20.67 (3.55) years in 2002 to 20.94 (3.65) years in 2007. Mean (SD) body mass index increased from 24.53 (3.56) kg/m2 in 2002 to 24.94 (3.84) kg/m2 in 2006. Other characteristics fluctuated by year, including proportions of race/ethnicity, accession waivers, and confirmed graduates. Conclusions: Fluctuations in trainee characteristics warrant further analysis of potential influence on BCT injury rates. For research uses, careful acquisition of administrative data is needed.

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

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

N2 - Channel evolution models ( CEMs) are used to structure the interpretation of observed channel morphology to support long-term restoration of these systems. However, channels reflect the variety of their watersheds' climatological, ecological and physiographic contexts, and so no single CEM can be truly 'global'. Unrecognised differences between the assumptions and the reality of evolutionary trajectories of particular streams can subsequently lead to restoration actions that neither fully achieve their intended objectives nor successfully self-maintain even limited improvements. Despite the daunting variety of biophysical settings, however, urbanisation imposes distinctive, homogenising influences on virtually all watercourses, suggesting that even a relatively small set of evolutionary pathways can embrace much of the diversity of critical watershed drivers on urban channels. CEMs describing single-thread channel response to incision are most common in the published literature, but not every urban disturbance yields this classic sequence, initiated by excess transport capacity followed by incision, bank erosion, widening and ultimately a lowered re-equilibrated channel. A comprehensive urban CEM must also include responses under less common (but locally ubiquitous) conditions, such as excess sediment relative to transport capacity (the 'inverse' of the classic CEM), imposed constraints on vertical and/or lateral adjustment, and multi-thread channels or those influenced by instream or riparian vegetation. An urban CEM also requires a hierarchical framework that acknowledges fundamental differences in the process drivers within any given watershed, because a single observation of channel form can rarely pinpoint the context or evolutionary trajectory of every stream. We present a geomorphic framework for diagnosing and predicting the evolution of urban streams, potentially guiding the selection of restoration targets that are achievable within an urban context and sustainable without ongoing maintenance.

AB - After the Battle of Saratoga (October 1777) in the American War of Independence, British leaders conducted a comprehensive reassessment of their military strategy but examined the new strategy's ways and means without considering the ends or objectives of the war. Using extensive primary sources, this article examines the reassessment process and concludes that the effort was fatally flawed because King George III and his ministers failed to reevaluate the war's objectives, given the changed strategic environment after Saratoga. The resulting British military strategy suffered from an imbalance between ends, ways, and means. Thus, British leaders incurred significant risk in executing their new strategy.

AB - During World War II, U.S. airmen circulated pernicious rumors about the motives of the hundreds of aircrews who landed in neutral countries. Although investigated and disproven by the leadership of the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF), the rumors persisted in popular memory and ultimately stigmatized the veterans who endured neutral captivity. This essay examines the motives of some airmen who landed in Switzerland, and argues that the stigma associated with neutral captivity resulted in denials of benefits and military decorations to deserving veterans.

AB - While practitioners and scholars tout the importance of mentorship in leader development, few studies have empirically determined whether mentoring actually positively impacts a leader's development, and if so, in what ways. In a longitudinal field experiment, we examined how a targeted mentorship program that unfolded over 6 months enhanced the development of protégés' leader efficacy and performance. Results showed that the targeted mentorship intervention increased protégés' level of leader efficacy more than a comparison intervention that was based on a more eclectic leadership education program delivered in a group setting. Leader efficacy then predicted rated leader performance. Both protégés' preferences for feedback and trust in the mentor served as important moderators in contributing to the development of leader efficacy. Findings from this longitudinal field experiment could be used by educational institutions and other organizations to enhance their mentorship programs in content, focus, and evaluation of impact.

AB - We set out to address a gap in the management literature by proposing a framework specifying the component capacities organizational actors require to think and act morally. We examine how moral maturation (i.e., moral identity, complexity, and metacognitive ability) and moral conation (i.e., moral courage, efficacy, and ownership) enhance an individual's moral cognition and propensity to take ethical action. We offer propositions to guide future research and discuss the implications of the proposed model for management theory and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Over the past two decades, research testing regulatory focus theory has made multiple contributions to understanding better many different psychological issues. In this article, we detail the foundations of regulatory focus theory, its wide-ranging impact, and its implications in particular for understanding the motivational underpinnings of judgment and decision making. We then explore new developments regarding the interactions between regulatory focus and the psychological experience of being above or below the status quo, and note how this research helps to further distinguish regulatory focus from more general models of approach-avoidance. We then close with a discussion of new research on the relation among regulatory focus, politics, and culture, and between regulatory focus and ethics—both of which may be of special interest to organizational psychologists and decision scientists.

AB - Despite thousands of programs and tremendous public and private interest in improving financial decision-making, little is known about how best to teach financial education. Using an experimental approach, the authors estimated the effects of two different education methodologies (principles-based and rules-of-thumb) on the knowledge, self-assessed knowledge, financial self-efficacy, motivation to learn, willingness to seek advice, risk preferences, and time preferences of high-performing undergraduate students. They found both methods increased cognitive measures of knowledge and noncognitive measures of self-efficacy, motivation to learn, and willingness to take financial risks. They found few differences in the relative effectiveness of each method, although the principles methodology appears to generate larger gains in self-efficacy, while the rules-of-thumb method appears to reduce individuals' willingness to seek advice.

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

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

T1 - "Oops" Simulation: Cost-Benefits Trade-Off Analysis of Reliable Planning for Construction Activities.

AB - "The Oops Game" explores the question, how much should be invested in planning? The simulation offers the opportunity to reduce the risk of an "Oops" by collecting more information or to go ahead and make the choice with the information at hand. There are two extreme strategies. Nothing is invested in planning in the so-called Guts-ball approach, but this increases the likelihood that an "Oops" will occur and thus increases the cost to complete the project. The second strategy is to invest in planning before attempting to build. This will increase the cost of planning upfront, but may reduce the risk and cost of an "Oops" in building. In reality, the cost and value of planning depends on the complexity level of the project, the amount of uncertainty that we need to deal with it, and the cost of an "Oops." We used computer simulation to show how the value of planning is sensitive to those factors. The results showed that the project with the reliable planning strategy had a 35% higher productivity and a cost-benefit ratio of 13:1. The contribution to the body of knowledge of "The Oops Game" lies in providing a simple and effective means to show the value of planning to construction practitioners and students.

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

AB - Harvesting energy from natural (solar, wind, vibration, etc.) and synthesized (microwave power transfer) sources is envisioned as a key enabler for realizing green wireless networks. Energy efficient scheduling is one of the prime objectives in emerging cognitive radio platforms. To that end, in this article we present a comprehensive framework to characterize the performance of a cognitive metro-cellular network empowered by solar energy harvesting. The proposed model allows designers to capture both the spatial and temporal dynamics of the energy field and the mobile user traffic. A new definition for the ?energy outage probability? metric, which characterizes the self-sustainable operation of the base stations under energy harvesting, is proposed, and the process for quantifying is described with the help of a case study for various UK cities. It is shown that the energy outage probability is strongly coupled with the path-loss exponent, required quality of service, and base station and user density. Moreover, the energy outage probability varies both on a daily and yearly basis depending on the solar geometry. It is observed that even in winter, BSs can run for three to six hours without any purchase of energy from the power grid by harvesting instantaneous energy. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Analysis of levels and patterns of genetic variation in a rare species is important for determining whether genetic factors associated with small population size, such as genetic drift or inbreeding, may be negatively affecting a species. In this study, we compared estimates of genetic diversity and patterns of population genetic structure in a rare cliff endemic, Erigeron lemmonii, to those of a widespread congener, E. arisolius. Our goals were to assess whether rarity and small population size have negatively affected levels of genetic diversity in E. lemmonii and to identify genetic threats that may limit the ability of E. lemmonii to persist. Levels of observed and expected heterozygosity and allelic richness in E. lemmonii were approximately 60 % of those found in E. arisolius. After correcting for null alleles, inbreeding coefficients in both species of Erigeron were very small, suggesting that both species are highly outcrossing and may demonstrate self-incompatibility. Patterns of genetic structure in both species revealed almost no population substructuring, indicating that widespread gene flow is occurring within each species. Because we found no evidence for inbreeding or a genetic bottleneck in E. lemmonii, it is likely that the species' lower genetic diversity may be the result of genetic drift. Because E. lemmoni exists in a single population, no other populations exist to bolster population size or genetic diversity in the event of declines; thus, conservation efforts should focus on seed collection from as many individuals as possible to protect against possible future losses of genetic diversity. We also recommend continued monitoring of both population size and genetic diversity in E. lemmonii to ensure the species' long-term persistence and viability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The performance of three drinking water treatment sequences found in small community systems in reducing disinfection by-product precursor concentrations and the corresponding disinfection by-product formation potential was evaluated. Raw water quality and its potential for effective removal were characterized by the specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) components of absorbance of ultraviolet light at 254 nm wavelength (UV254) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The results demonstrate that, for the source water qualities tested (hydrophobic SUVA with moderate DOC content, 2.0 to 4.8 L/(mg.m) and 4.1 to 6.3 mg DOC/L), there was a tendency to produce a higher percentage of total trihalomethane (TTHM) over the five regulated species of haloacetic acid (HAA5). The treatment sequence and chemical selection play a critical role in the ability of a small community system operator to achieve compliance with the concentration of regulated disinfection by-products. For the waters tested ferric chloride coagulants perform better at reducing the higher molecular weight, hydrophobic organic precursors. Powdered activated carbon does not perform as well with these source waters unless its application is followed by a clarification process that effectively forms a sludge blanket. This research provides additional criteria for linking source water quality with treatment sequence for sustainable management of disinfection by-product (DBP) compliance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In resprouting species, fire-induced topkill causes a reduction in height and leaf area without a comparable reduction in the size of the root system, which should lead to an increase in the efficiency of water transport after fire. However, large plants undergo a greater relative reduction in size, compared with small plants, so we hypothesized that this enhancement in hydraulic efficiency would be greatest among large growth forms. In the ecotone between long-leaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) savannas and wetlands, we measured stomatal conductance (gs), mid-day leaf water potential (Ψleaf), leaf-specific whole-plant hydraulic conductance (KL.p), leaf area and height of 10 species covering a range of growth forms in burned and unburned sites. As predicted, KL.p was higher in post-fire resprouts than in unburned plants, and the post-fire increase in KL.p was positively related to plant size. Specifically, large-statured species tended to undergo the greatest relative reductions in leaf area and height, and correspondingly experienced the greatest increases in KL.p. The post-fire increase in KL.p was smaller than expected, however, due to a decrease in absolute root hydraulic conductance (i.e., not scaled to leaf area). The higher KL.p in burned sites was manifested as an increase in gs rather than an increase in Ψleaf. Post-fire increases in gs should promote high rates of photosynthesis for recovery of carbohydrate reserves and aboveground biomass, which is particularly important for large-statured species that require more time to recover their pre-fire size.

We present a review of SPPs, their accuracy in diverse settings including the influence of geography, topography, and weather systems, as well as the pros and cons of their use for different water management applications. At the end of this broad synthesizing effort, recommendations are proposed for: (1) SPP developers to improve the quality, usability, and relevance of precipitation products; and (2) SPP users to improve the reliability of their predictions and hydrologic applications to better support water management.

AB - The ability to propagate and successfully reintroduce rare plant species is an important component in the conservation biologist's toolbox. Unfortunately for many species, propagation methods and details about the species' life histories, which can potentially inform reintroduction efforts, are often unknown. We describe for the first time the pseudoannual life cycle of rough-leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulifolia Poiret [Primulaceae]) and techniques that we have used to vegetatively propagate and reintroduce this federally endangered species endemic to the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the United States. Using simulated dormancy and controlled soil temperatures, we increased the number of collected viable rhizomes by approximately 76% over one growing season. At two translocation sites, stem numbers increased an average of 318 ± 145 SD % in five of seven test plots between 2004 and 2010. Using dormant-season-harvested rhizomes and/or reducing competition prior to transplanting via mowing or using herbicides greatly improved translocation success. Only plots receiving neither competition-reduction treatment and outplanted with summer harvested rhizomes showed reductions (73 ± 21 SD %) in the number of stems. Although limited flowering and no capsule production was detected at the translocation sites, a similar lack of sexual reproduction is common in many natural populations of L. asperulifolia. Overall, our results will allow the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and their conservation partners to more confidently pursue recovery goals for the species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Reliable simulation of onshore-offshore sandbar migration under various wave and current conditions has remained a challenging task over the last three decades because wave-undertow interaction in the surf zone has been neglected in the existing numerical models. This paper presents the development of an improved sandbar migration model using a phase- and depth-resolving modeling approach. This new model includes interactions between waves and undertow and an empirical time-dependent turbulent eddy viscosity formulation that accounts for the phase dependency of turbulence on flow velocity and acceleration. The authors demonstrate through extensive model-data comparisons that these enhancements resulted in significant improvements in the predictive capability of the cross-shore sandbar migration beneath moderate and energetic waves. The comparison showed wave-undertow interaction playing a crucial role in cross-shore sediment transport. Waves increased the undertow-induced suspended-load flux during offshore sandbar migration, and a weak undertow suppressed the wave-induced onshore bed-load transport during onshore sandbar migration. The proposed empirical time-dependent turbulent eddy viscosity significantly improved the prediction of onshore-directed bed-load transport during onshore sandbar migration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Despite recent increases in conservation interest, the distribution, habitat needs, and conservation priorities remain poorly understood for many animal species, including forest bats. In some cases, little quantitative information exists about appropriate survey methods to determine occupancy or abundance of bats in forest systems. We quantitatively compared detection probabilities between 2 commonly used survey techniques for 2 bat species that are closely associated with bottomland hardwood stands in the southeastern United States. Passive acoustic surveys of echolocation calls were more likely than systematic roost searches to detect both Rafinesque's big-eared bats (Corynorhinus rafinesquii) and southeastern myotis (Myotis austroriparius) at 7 study areas in eastern Texas. Our results confirmed that numerous repeat visits (>15 acoustic-survey-nights) are necessary to have high confidence in detecting Rafinesque's big-eared bats; however, southeastern myotis were easier to detect. Our results emphasize the importance of quantitatively assessing survey methods prior to designing or implementing widespread survey programs for bats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Historically, headwater streams received limited protection and were subjected to extensive alteration from logging, farming, mining, and development activities. Despite these alterations, headwater streams provide essential ecological functions. This study examines proxy measures of biogeochemical function across a range of catchment alterations by tracking nutrient cycling (i.e., inputs, processing, and stream loading) with leaf litter fall, leaf litter decomposition, and water quality parameters. Nutrient input and processing remained highest in second growth forests (the least altered areas within the region), while recently altered locations transported higher loads of nutrients, sediments, and conductivity. Biogeochemical functional proxies of C and N input and processing significantly, positively correlated with rapid assessment results (Pearson coefficient = 0.67-0.81; P = 0.002-0.016). Additionally, stream loading equations demonstrate that N and P transport, sediment, and specific conductivity negatively correlated with rapid assessment scores (Pearson coefficient = 0.56-0.81; P = 0.002-0.048). The observed increase in stream loading with lower rapid assessment scores indicates that catchment alterations impact stream chemistry and that rapid assessments provide useful proxy measures of function in headwater ecosystems. Significant differences in nutrient processing, stream loading, water quality, and rapid assessment results were also observed between recently altered (e.g., mined) headwater streams and older forested catchments (Mann-Whitney U = 24; P = 0.01-0.024). Findings demonstrate that biogeochemical function is reduced in altered catchments, and rapid assessment scores respond to a combination of alteration type and recovery time. An analysis examining time and economic requirements of proxy measurements highlights the benefits of rapid assessment methods in evaluating biogeochemical functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Triaminoguanidinium-1-methyl-5-nitriminotetrazolate (TAG-MNT) is a nitrogen-rich energetic compound being developed as a potential component of insensitive munition formulations. The purpose of the present study was to assess the toxicity of TAG-MNT to the green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata as well as to determine whether the high N content of TAG-MNT could result in increased algal growth in aquatic systems and potentially contribute to eutrophication using a 96-h algal growth bioassay in N-limited test media. Results were compared with algal exposures to current-use energetics 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and royal demolition explosive (RDX). The TNT exposure resulted in a lowest-observed-adverse-effect concentration (LOAEC) for algal growth of 1.72 mg/L and a 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) and 95% confidence limits of 0.972 mg/L (0.955, 0.973). The RDX algal growth LOAEC was 0.10 mg/L, and the RDX IC50 was 0.635 (0.416, 0.875). Neither TNT nor RDX exposure resulted in stimulation of algal growth. In repeated testing, TAG-MNT exposure resulted in LOAECs of 0.55 and 5.20 mg/L. Stimulation of algal growth was observed at 0.06 mg/L at a mean increase of 163.2% (± 71.7) relative to the control in TAG-MNT test A and at the 0.005 mg/L treatment at a mean increase of 174.3% (± 59.9) in TAG-MNT test B. The authors' results indicate the potential for high-N energetics to significantly stimulate algal growth at low concentrations in N-limited systems.

AB - Floodplain connectivity is important to aquatic organisms in large rivers. Anthropogenic alterations regulating the Missouri River have limited connectivity and negatively affected native fauna. Determining the biological response to rare inundation events may be important when considering potential restoration options on a regulated river; thus, we assessed benthic invertebrate and zooplankton communities at three floodplain sites during a historic Missouri River high-water event. Chironomid larvae dominated during most sampling trips and densities were often highest during initial sampling trips with lower densities as high water persisted. Similar trends were evident for rotifer, cladoceran, and copepod densities. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling also showed relatively high dissimilarity of densities between early and late sampling trips for benthic invertebrate and zooplankton communities. As such, short-term inundation may be more beneficial to Missouri River benthic invertebrate (mainly chironomid larvae) and zooplankton production than more prolonged inundation lasting a month or more. Furthermore, restoration projects may be designed at elevations allowing more short-term inundation, which would likely benefit native fishes with additional spawning, nursery, and foraging habitat. Levee setbacks may be an effective restoration option for increasing the amount of habitat available for short-term inundation while potentially providing socioeconomic, flood-risk reduction benefits by enhancing flow conveyance.

AB - La connectivité de la plaine d'inondation est importante pour les organismes aquatiques dans les grandes rivières. Les modifications anthropogéniques de régulation de la rivière Missouri ont limité la connectivité et affecté négativement la faune indigène. Déterminer la réponse biologique à des événements d'inondation rares peut être important lors de l'examen des options de restauration possibles sur une rivière régulée ; nous avons étudié les communautés d'invertébrés benthiques et de zooplancton sur trois sites d'une plaine d'inondation de la rivière Missouri au cours d'un événement historique d'inondation. Les larves de chironomes sont dominantes pendant la plupart des campagnes d'échantillonnage; les densités étaient souvent plus élevées au cours des campagnes d'échantillonnage initiales et plus faibles quand la submersion persiste. Des tendances similaires sont trouvées pour les densités de rotifères, cladocères, et copépodes. L'analyse multidimensionnelle non métrique a également montré une dissemblance relativement élevée des densités entre campagnes d'échantillonnage précoces et tardives pour les communautés d'invertébrés benthiques et de zooplancton. En tant que telle, l'inondation à court terme peut être plus bénéfique à la production d'invertébrés benthiques (principalement les larves de chironomes) et de zooplancton de la rivière Missouri que les inondations de plus longue durée, d'un mois ou plus. En outre, les projets de restauration peuvent être conçus à des altitudes permettant des inondations de plus courte durée, qui seraient susceptibles de bénéficier aux poissons indigènes avec un habitat supplémentaire de fraie, de nurserie et d'alimentation. La rupture de digue peut être une option de restauration efficace pour augmenter la quantité d'habitat disponible lors d'inondations de courte durée, tout en fournissant potentiellement des bénéfices socio-économiques de réduction des risques d'inondation en améliorant les écoulements.

AB - The need for improved quantitative precipitation forecasts and realistic assessments of the regional impacts of natural climate variability and climate change has generated increased interest in regional (i.e., systems-scale) climate simulation. The Salton Sea Stochastic Simulation Model (S4M) was developed to assist planners and residents of the Salton Sea (SS) transboundary watershed (USA and Mexico) in making sound policy decisions regarding complex water-related issues. In order to develop the S4M with a higher degree of climate forecasting resolution, an in-depth analysis was conducted regarding precipitation and evapotranspiration for the semiarid region of the watershed. Weather station data were compiled for both precipitation and evapotranspiration from 1980 to 2004. Several logistic regression models were developed for determining the relationships among precipitation events, that is, duration and volume, and evapotranspiration levels. These data were then used to develop a stochastic weather generator for S4M. Analyses revealed that the cumulative effects and changes of ±10 percent in SS inflows can have significant effects on sea elevation and salinity. The aforementioned technique maintains the relationships between the historic frequency distributions of both precipitation and evapotranspiration, and not as separate unconnected and constrained variables.

AB - Researchers often employ radio telemetry to locate study animals efficiently, but the time required to locate individuals can make monitoring large populations difficult and costly. In 2010-2011 we located nesting ornate box turtles (Terrapene ornata) in a large group of radio-tagged animals. To minimize search efforts, we investigated whether automated radio telemetry and the signal change method could be used to identify nesting activity before locating animals. The signal change method relies on the principle that any movement of a radio transmitter, including minor changes in orientation, can strongly affect the intensity of the transmitter's signal at a stationary receiving station. Using video recordings of free-ranging radio-tagged turtles, we confirmed that transmitter signal strength values can be analyzed to identify periods of box turtle activity. Early in the 2010 nesting season, automated telemetry observations indicated that some females engaged in nocturnal activity. Previous reports indicate that ornate box turtles often nest at night but are otherwise inactive after dark. Based upon this information and relatively little indication of nocturnal activity by males, we hypothesized that nocturnal activity corresponded to nesting. We subsequently monitored female nighttime activity in near real time, hand-tracked four night-active individuals, and found three of these turtles nesting. In 2011 we again selectively hand-tracked night-active females and located nests for 12 of 18 study animals, which approximates the expected annual reproductive rate for our population. We demonstrate that the signal change method can be used to identify nesting activity in ornate box turtles and suggest this method may be of use in other species that nest outside of their normal activity periods.

AB - The feeding habitats of young-of-year river sturgeon Scaphirhynchus spp. from the Lower Mississippi River were evaluated. Seventy specimens collected between 2001 and 2010 (99%: 2006-2010) were dissected and gut contents analyzed. The macrohabitats and habits associated with sturgeon prey items (primarily benthic macroinvertebrates) were used to make inferences about habitat use by young-of-year river stnrgeon. These findings indicate that young river sturgeon inhabiting the Lower Mississippi River feed primarily over sandy benthos, most likely in channel habitats. The majority of prey items (64.0%) consumed by young-of-year river sturgeon belong to a single subgroup of Chironomidae (Diptera: Chironominae: Harnischia complex) of which several genera, including Chernovskiia, Cryptochironomus, Gillotia, Paracladopelma, Robackia, and Saetheria, are known to be primary inhabitants of this macrohabitat.

AB - Healthy seagrass is considered a prime indicator of estuarine ecosystem function. On the Pacific coast of North America, at least two congeners of Zostera occur: native Zostera marina, and introduced, Zostera japonica. Z. japonica is considered 'invasive' and therefore, ecologically and economically harmful by some, while others consider it benign or perhaps beneficial. Z. japonica does not appear on the Federal or the Oregon invasive species or noxious weed lists. However, the State of California lists it as both an invasive and noxious weed; Washington State recently listed it as a noxious weed. We describe the management dynamics in North America with respect to these congener species and highlight the science and policies behind these decisions. In recent years, management strategies at the state level have ranged from historical protection of Z. japonica as a priority habitat in Washington to eradication in California. Oregon and British Columbia, Canada appear to have no specific policies with regard to Z. japonica. This fractured management approach contradicts efforts to conserve and protect seagrass in other regions of the US and around the world. Science must play a critical role in the assessment of Z. japonica ecology and the immediate and long-term effects of management actions. The information and recommendations provided here can serve as a basis for providing scientific data in order to develop better informed management decisions and aid in defining a uniform management strategy for Z. japonica.

N2 - There is a threat for dengue virus (DENV) reemergence in many regions of the world, particularly in areas where the DENV vectors, Aedes aegypti (L.) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse), are readily available. However, there are currently no accurate and reliable diagnostic methods to provide critical, real-time information for early detection of DENV within the vector populations to implement appropriate vector control and personal protective measures. In this article, we report the ability of an immuno-chromatographic assay developed by VecTOR Test Systems Inc. to detect DENV in a pool of female Aedes mosquitoes infected with any of the four viral serotypes. The DENV dipstick assay was simple to use, did not require a cold chain, and provided clear results within 30 min. It was highly specific and did not cross-react with samples spiked with West Nile, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, Rift Valley fever, chikungunya, Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis, Ross River, LaCrosse, or Caraparu viruses. The DENV assay can provide real-time critical information on the presence of DENV in mosquitoes to public health personnel. Results from this assay will allow a rapid threat assessment and the focusing of vector control measures in high-risk areas.

N2 - Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is a rodent-borne hantavirus that causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) predominantly in North America. SNV infection of immunocompetent hamsters results in an asymptomatic infection; the only lethal disease model for a pathogenic hantavirus is Andes virus (ANDV) infection of Syrian hamsters. Efforts to create a lethal SNV disease model in hamsters by repeatedly passaging virus through the hamster have demonstrated increased dissemination of the virus but no signs of disease. In this study, we demonstrate that immunosuppression of hamsters through the administration of a combination of dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide, followed by infection with SNV, results in a vascular leak syndrome that accurately mimics both HPS disease in humans and ANDV infection of hamsters. Immunosuppressed hamsters infected with SNV have a mean number of days to death of 13 and display clinical signs associated with HPS, including pulmonary edema. Viral antigen was widely detectable throughout the pulmonary endothelium. Histologic analysis of lung sections showed marked inflammation and edema within the alveolar septa of SNV-infected hamsters, results which are similar to what is exhibited by hamsters infected with ANDV. Importantly, SNV-specific neutralizing polyclonal antibody administered 5 days after SNV infection conferred significant protection against disease. This experiment not only demonstrated that the disease was caused by SNV, it also demonstrated the utility of this animal model for testing candidate medical countermeasures. This is the first report of lethal disease caused by SNV in an adult small-animal model.

N2 - Multimodal warnings incorporate audio and/or skin-based (tactile) cues to supplement or replace visual cues in environments where the user's visual perception is busy, impaired, or nonexistent. This paper describes characteristics of audio, tactile, and multimodal warning displays and their role in risk communications. The authors demonstrate that visual-auditory and visual-tactile displays can be significantly more effective than visual displays alone in enhancing user performance. The authors describe signal design guidelines, and illustrate the importance of knowledge of user attentional constraints and limitations in effectively using multimodal displays to communicate safety information. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for future multimodal warning display design and research are presented.

N2 - Background Altered hip and knee kinematics and joint coupling have been documented in runners with iliotibial band syndrome. Symptoms often present themselves after several minutes of running, yet the effect of fatigue warrants further exploration. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a run to fatigue in runners with iliotibial band syndrome, as compared to healthy controls. Methods Twenty uninjured and 12 female runners with iliotibial band syndrome performed a treadmill run to fatigue. Prior-to and following a run to fatigue, overground running data were collected. Variables of interest included stance phase: peak hip adduction and internal rotation, peak hip abductor and external rotator joint moments and frontal-sagittal plane hip and knee joint coupling. Findings Fatigue resulted in decreased peak hip adduction angles in injured runners. Fatigue did not affect injured runners differently than controls with respect to the remaining variables. Coupling differences did not exist between healthy and injured runners with respect to the loading or propulsive phases of stance. Interpretation While clinicians often strengthen hip abductor muscles and provide gait re-training to decrease stance phase hip adduction, our results suggest that, when exerted, female runners with iliotibial band syndrome independently modify their running gait to decrease hip adduction, potentially as a result of pain. Fatigue did not have an effect on the remaining study variables. It is possible that reducing the length of the iliotibial band through minimizing hip adduction reduces pain, but the other variables examined are not sensitive to this phenomenon.

N2 - Elevated sympathetic tone and activation of the renin-angiotensin system are pathophysiologic hallmarks of hypertension, and the interactions between these systems are particularly deleterious. The importance of Rho kinase as a mediator of the effects of angiotensin-II (AngII) in the periphery is clear, but the role of Rho kinase in sympathoexcitation caused by central AngII is not well established. We hypothesized that AngII mediates its effects in the brain by the activation of the RhoA/Rho kinase pathway. Chronically instrumented, conscious rabbits received the following intracerebroventricular infusion treatments for 2 weeks via osmotic minipump: AngII, Rho kinase inhibitor Fasudil, AngII plus Fasudil, or a vehicle control. AngII increased mean arterial pressure over the course of the infusion, and this effect was prevented by the coadministration of Fasudil. AngII increased cardiac and vascular sympathetic outflow as quantified by the heart rate response to metoprolol and the depressor effect of hexamethonium; coadministration of Fasudil abolished both of these effects. AngII increased baseline renal sympathetic nerve activity in conscious animals and impaired baroreflex control of sympathetic nerve activity; again Fasudil coinfusion prevented these effects. Each of these end points showed a statistically significant interaction between AngII and Fasudil. Quantitative immunofluorescence of brain slices confirmed that Rho kinase activity was increased by AngII and decreased by Fasudil. Taken together, these data indicate that hypertension, elevated sympathetic outflow, and baroreflex dysfunction caused by central AngII are mediated by Rho kinase activation and suggest that Rho kinase inhibition may be an important therapeutic target in sympathoexcitatory cardiovascular diseases.

N2 - Little research has been done examining the most physically demanding tasks a SWAT officer may perform in the line of duty. Our objective was to analyze the rankings of tasks by SWAT officers based on frequency, difficulty, and importance and assess if training is addressing traits needed for successful task completion. A survey was designed using Qualtrics (Qualtrics Labs Inc). The survey had a demographics section, performance section, and training section. Officers were contacted by phone or e-mail and asked about interest in participating. Officers who agreed were sent the survey. Our results found a strong correlation between frequency of task and importance (r = 0.69, p = 0.001), and a moderate correlation was found between task difficulty and importance (r = 0.37, p = 0.005). Task rankings were averaged across the 3 domains to assess "overall" importance, and the top 3 tasks were assessed for necessary traits for successful performance. Power and strength were determined to be the most important traits for successful performance. Officers ranked the top 2 focuses of their training program in the training section as stamina/muscular endurance and cardiovascular/respiratory endurance. Training programs for SWAT officers should be developed to improve performance of the tasks with the highest "overall" importance. Therefore, a training program should emphasize strength and power improvements while not neglecting other measures of fitness. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Background The “dead spot” phenomenon in prosthetics is a disruption in forward progression observed in the rearfoot of passive prosthetic foot-ankle systems which results in a compensatory and inefficient gait pattern by amputees. A metric to quantify the dead spot as a kinetic event has not yet been introduced. The present study implements a three-part metric to evaluate the dead spot in terms of time, magnitude, and total area using center of pressure velocity and a novel threshold value calculation. Methods The metrics are implemented for proof of efficacy using a convenient sample of four amputees (2 transtibial, 2 transfemoral) who walked in a 3D motion capture system with integrated force plates over five foot conditions. Findings “Continuous-lever” feet designs showed the most favorable metric results between subjects ( p < 0.05) and in an ad hoc analysis compared to an ideal foot condition within subjects ( p > 0.05). Ten of 18 (55.6%) foot conditions found to be similar to the ideal were continuous-lever feet. Lack of significant similarity between the feet and ideal conditions (1 of 18, 5.6%) were found in transfemoral subjects. Interpretation The metric calculations were able to show statistical difference among foot conditions between subjects. One foot (continuous-lever, glass composite) had no detectable dead spot in the transtibial subjects. The lack of significant findings in transfemoral subjects indicates a different coefficient in threshold calculations may be more appropriate for these subjects versus transtibial subjects. Further research with larger sample is needed to determine clinically significant findings among feet and between transtibial and transfemoral subjects. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Within the microelectronics industry, there is a growing concern regarding the introduction of counterfeit electronic parts into the supply chain. Even though this problem is widespread, there have been limited attempts to implement risk-based approaches for testing and supply chain management. Supply chain risk management tends to focus on the highly visible disruptions of the supply chain instead of the covert entrance of counterfeits; thus counterfeit risk is difficult to mitigate. This article provides an overview of the complexities of the electronics supply chain, and highlights some gaps in risk assessment practices. In particular, this article calls for enhanced traceability capabilities to track and trace parts at risk through various stages of the supply chain. Placing the focus on risk-informed decision making through the following strategies is needed, including prioritization of high-risk parts, moving beyond certificates of conformance, incentivizing best supply chain management practices, adoption of industry standards, and design and management for supply chain resilience.

N2 - In emergent photovoltaics, nanoscale materials hold promise for optimizing device characteristics; however, the related impacts remain uncertain, resulting in challenges to decisions on strategic investment in technology innovation. We integrate multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA) results (LCA-MCDA) as a method of incorporating values of a hypothetical federal acquisition manager into the assessment of risks and benefits of emerging photovoltaic materials. Specifically, we compare adoption of copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) devices with molybdenum back contacts to alternative devices employing graphite or graphene instead of molybdenum. LCA impact results are interpreted alongside benefits of substitution including cost reductions and performance improvements through application of multi-attribute utility theory. To assess the role of uncertainty we apply Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis. We find that graphene or graphite back contacts outperform molybdenum under most scenarios and assumptions. The use of decision analysis clarifies potential advantages of adopting graphite as a back contact while emphasizing the importance of mitigating conventional impacts of graphene production processes if graphene is used in emerging CZTS devices. Our research further demonstrates that a combination of LCA and MCDA increases the usability of LCA in assessing product sustainability. In particular, this approach identifies the most influential assumptions and data gaps in the analysis and the areas in which either engineering controls or further data collection may be necessary.

N2 - Objectives: Perforation of the chest (open pneumothorax) with and without lung injury can cause air accumulation in the chest, positive intrapleural pressure and lead to tension pneumothorax if untreated. The performance of chest seals to prevent tension physiology depends partially on their ability to adhere to the skin and seal the chest wound. Novel non-occlusive vented chest seals were assessed for their adhesiveness on skin of live swine under normal and extreme environmental conditions to simulate austere battlefield conditions.Methods: Chest seals were applied on the back of the swine on skin that was soiled by various environmental contaminants to represent battlefield situations. A peeling (horizontal rim peeling) and detachment and breaching (vertical pulling) techniques were used to quantify the adhesive performance of vented chest seals. Among eight initially selected vented seals, five (Bolin, Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM) were further down-selected based on their superior adherence scores at ambient temperatures. The adherence of these seals was then assessed after approximately 17h storage at extreme cold (-19.5°C) and hot (71.5°C) temperatures.Results: Adherence scores for peeling (above 90%) and detachment scores (less than 25%) were comparable for four vented chest seals when tested at ambient temperature, except for the Bolin seal which had higher breaching. Under extreme storage temperatures, adherence peeling scores were comparable to those at ambient temperatures for four chest seals. Scores were significantly lower for the Bolin seal at extreme temperatures. This seal also had the highest detachment and breaching scores. In contrast, the Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM seals showed similar ability to stay air tight without breaching after hot storage.Conclusion: No significant difference was found in skin adherence of the five vented chest seals at ambient temperature and the four seals (Russell, Fast breathe, Hyfin and SAM) maintained superior adherence even after exposure to extreme temperatures compared to the Bolin. To select the most effective product from the 5 selected vented chest seals, further functional evaluation of the valve of these chest seals on a chest wound with the potential for tension in the pneumothorax or hemopneumothorax is warranted.

N2 - Stress analysis by FLIR (forward-looking infrared) evaluation (SAFE) has been demonstrated to monitor sweat pore activation (SPA) as a novel surrogate measure of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity in a normal population. SNS responses to a series of 15 1-s, 82 dB, white noise bursts were measured by skin conductance (SC) and SAFE monitoring of SPA on the fingers (FiP) and face (FaP) in 10 participants with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and 16 trauma-exposed participants without PTSD ( Mage = 48.92 ± 12.00 years; 26.9% female). Within participants, SC and FiP responses across trials were strongly correlated ( r = .92, p < .001). Correlations between SC and FaP ( r = .76, p = .001) and between FiP and FaP ( r = .47, p = .005) were smaller. The habituation of SNS responses across the 15 trials was substantial (SC: d = −2.97; FiP: d = −2.34; FaP: d = −1.02). There was a strong correlation between habituation effects for SC and FiP ( r = .76, p < .001), but not for SC and FaP ( r = .15, p = .45) or FiP and FaP ( r = .29, p = .16). Participants with PTSD showed larger SNS responses to the first loud noise than those without PTSD. PTSD reexperiencing symptoms assessed by the PTSD Checklist on the day of testing were associated with the SNS responses to the first loud noise measured by SC ( d = 1.19) and FiP ( d = .99), but not FaP ( d = .10). This study confirms convergence of SAFE and SC as valid measures of SNS activity. SAFE FiP and SC responses were highly predictive of self-rated PTSD reexperiencing symptoms. SAFE may offer an attractive alternative for applications in PTSD and similar populations. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Background: Minimizing gap formation and maximizing the strength of patellar tendon repairs are 2 critical factors for successful healing of these injuries. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare transosseous and screw-in anchor repair techniques to determine if there is a difference in gap formation and load to failure of the 2 constructs. The research hypotheses were that the anchor construct would have significantly less gap formation and would also have significantly greater load-to-failure strength. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 24 porcine specimens were randomly assigned into transosseous and 4.75-mm polyetheretherketone (PEEK) screw-in anchor repair groups. The repairs were then completed using 2 No. 2 FiberWire sutures, and each specimen was cyclically loaded on a tensile test machine to 250 N for a total of 1000 cycles. Gap formation was measured at 1, 10, 250, 500, and 1000 cycles. Each specimen was loaded to failure after 1000 cycles. Independent t tests were conducted. Results: Statistically significant gap formation and load-to-failure differences were found between the 2 repair techniques. The mean gap in the anchor group (2.16 ± 1.81 mm) was significantly less than that seen in the transosseous group (5.71 ± 1.58 mm) (P < .001). The mean load to failure of the anchor group (669.9 ± 91.8 N) was significantly higher than that of the transosseous group (582.8 ± 92.6 N) (P = .03). Conclusion: The results support the 2 study hypotheses. These findings suggest that the 4.75-mm PEEK screw-in anchor construct may be superior to the transosseous technique for minimizing gap formation and improving load-to-failure strength after surgical repair of the patellar tendon. Clinical Relevance: The use of the suture anchor technique in patellar tendon repair may support early load-bearing rehabilitation. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

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

AB - Purpose: To assess uncorrected and corrected distance and near binocular visual acuity (VA) and the use of corrective lenses in U.S. Army Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve Soldiers.Methods: A descriptive statistical analysis of VA group data from the U.S. Army Vision Readiness Classification Screening system was performed. Data pulls from June 2012 to January 2015 were compared.Results: In January 2015, 62.3% of Soldiers had an uncorrected binocular distance VA of 20/20, 21.2% of Soldiers were worse than 20/40, and 41.4% of Soldiers wore corrective eyewear for distance vision. With correction, 92.5% had a binocular distance VA of 20/20 and 1.4% were worse than 20/40. In January 2015, 32.6% of Soldiers age >45 had an uncorrected binocular near VA of 20/20, 28.4% of Soldiers age >45 were worse than 20/40, and 61.9% of Soldiers age >45 wore corrective eyewear for near vision. With correction, 74.6% had a binocular near VA of 20/20 and 3.0% were worse than 20/40. Data for both years were similar, although there were differences between individual service components.Conclusions: In comparison to the U.S. adult population, U.S. Army Soldiers have better uncorrected and corrected vision and are less likely to wear vision correction.

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

AB - Measuring surgical business performance for Army military treatment facilities is currently done through 6 business metrics developed by the Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Surgical Services Service Line (3SL). Development of a composite score for business performance has the potential to simplify and synthesize measurement, improving focus for strategic goal setting and implementation. However, several considerations, ranging from data availability to submetric selection, must be addressed to ensure the score is accurate and representative. This article presents the methodology used in the composite score's creation and presents a metric based on return on investment and a measure of cases recaptured from private networks.

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

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

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

AB - Background: There are no tools to predict outcomes in the U.S. Air Force Critical Care Air Transport Team (CCATT) trauma patients. The objective of this study was to identify associations between preflight variables and outcomes that could assist planning of ongoing critical care.Methods: This Institutional Review Board approved retrospective study included all patients evacuated from Afghanistan by CCATT between 2007 and 2011. Preflight variables were assessed for associations and examined in logistic regression models. Ventilator time over 72 hours, and 30-day mortality were the primary and secondary outcomes respectively.Results: 1,308 trauma patients (24 years, 98% male) were included; 72% blast. Injury severity score (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04 [1.03-1.06]), preflight packed red blood cell units transfused (OR = 1.05 [1.04-1.07]), and preflight intubated status (OR = 11.9 [8.53-16.89]) were independently associated with increased ventilator days; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.85 with 86% sensitivity and 56% specificity. Injury severity score (OR = 1.06 [1.03-1.09]), prothrombin time (OR = 2.13 [1.18-4.47]), preflight intubated status (OR = 9.2 [1.88-166.11]), and whole blood (OR = 3.18 [1.38-7.04]) were associated with 30-day mortality; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.84 with 71% sensitivity and 57% specificity.Conclusion: In our large CCATT study a number of preflight variables were associated with outcomes, which may assist in the future planning of critical care services.

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

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

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

AB - Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different treatment combinations on bupropion recovery as well as time to return of spontaneous circulation.Methods: We conducted an eight group, randomized, experiment to evaluate combinations of epinephrine, vasopressin, and lipids on the restoration of cardiac function in Yorkshire pigs. After tracking the animals' baseline vitals for 10 minutes, we injected the animals with bupropion (35 mg/kg) and initiated a randomized protocol 2 minutes after cardiac arrest.Results: Results demonstrated that animal survival given treatment combinations including epinephrine were statistically superior to any other group (p < 0.001, Fishers' exact test). The odds of survival with use of epinephrine vs. other options were 22:1 (5.47, 88.43). Further, all animals receiving only lipids died. Cox survival analysis with bootstrapped parameter estimates provided evidence that the rapidity of cardiac recovery was maximized with a combination of epinephrine and lipids (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Lipids may require an additional chemical catalyst in order to be effective in cardiac recovery. Epinephrine and lipids combined shortened recovery time for surviving animals.

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

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

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

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

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

AB - The specialized nature of technology-based programs creates volumes of data on a magnitude never before seen, complicating the test and evaluation phase of acquisition. This article provides a practical solution for reducing network traffic analysis data while expediting test and evaluation. From small lab testing to full integration test events, quality of service and other key metrics of military systems and networks are evaluated. Network data captured in standard flow formats enable scalable approaches for producing network traffic analyses. Because of its compact representation of network traffic, flow data naturally scale well. Some analyses require deep packet inspection, but many can be calculated/approximated quickly with flow data, including quality-of-service metrics like completion rate and speed of service.

AB - Laser refractive surgery, involving the computer-controlled application of a 193-nm beam of excimer laser “light,” is utilized to resculpt the central cornea, thus reducing its apical thickness. On casual inspection, this simple matter of removing or excising a specific amount of central corneal avascular tissue is a smooth, seamless alteration with few apparent secondary issues or sequelae. Normal postoperative recovery is typically gauged by the recovery of high-contrast visual acuity to the same (or better) degree as was previously obtained with a spectacle correction. However, although this is an acceptable means of determining operative success, it is not indicative of the complex challenges imposed upon the neurosensory system. The secondarily imposed strain upon the visual system, regarding the return to its pre-existing visual line-of-sight organization occurs only by bringing multiple adaptations into subtle and seamless play. This process is initiated and completed in a relatively short time period, such that most patients (but not all) are not even marginally aware of the challenges imposed to the visual system. This article is meant to probe those system challenges, serving to highlight this postoperative plasticity, seeking to gain a broader understanding and appreciation of the perceptual range of the visual recovery process.

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

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

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

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

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

AB - The Joint Combat Casualty Research Team (JC2RT) is part of the human research protection regulatory system implemented in 2005 to oversee the conduct of research in a deployed military combatant command. In 2010, SharePoint, a web-based tool, was established to track study documents. This study conducted by JC2RT no. 13 describes characteristics of research studies under the purview of the JC2RT from 2010 through 2012. Of the 83 research studies reviewed, 34% were completed, 32% were not completed, and 34% were still in progress. Target sample sizes ranged from 12 to 70,000, with 96% of the research studying U.S. military members. The design of 61% of the studies was prospective, 20% surveys, and 14% retrospective reviews. Approximately one-half of the studies were conducted at single sites. Eighty-four percent of the studies that finished an institutional review board (IRB) were completed, whereas a large number of studies never made it to IRB approval. Even after studies have gone through the rigorous process of scientific review and IRB approval some continue to struggle for years to be completed in the theater of operations. The JC2RT is committed to helping facilitate the ethical conduct of research during war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Although often eagerly anticipated, reunification after deployment poses challenges for families, including adjusting to the parent–soldier's return, re-establishing roles and routines, and the potentially necessary accommodation to combat-related injuries or psychological effects. Fourteen male service members, previously deployed to a combat zone, parent to at least one child under seven years of age, were interviewed about their relationships with their young children. Principles of grounded theory guided data analysis to identify key themes related to parenting young children after deployment. Participants reported significant levels of parenting stress and identified specific challenges, including difficulty reconnecting with children, adapting expectations from military to family life, and coparenting. Fathers acknowledged regret about missing an important period in their child's development and indicated a strong desire to improve their parenting skills. They described a need for support in expressing emotions, nurturing, and managing their tempers. Results affirm the need for support to military families during reintegration and demonstrate that military fathers are receptive to opportunities to engage in parenting interventions. Helping fathers understand their children's behavior in the context of age-typical responses to separation and reunion may help them to renew parent–child relationships and reengage in optimal parenting of their young children.

AB - Genetic factors such as decreased genetic diversity and increased homozygosity can have detrimental effects on rare species, and may ultimately limit potential adaptation and exacerbate population declines. The Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic region has the second highest level of endemism in the continental USA, but habitat fragmentation and land use changes have resulted in catastrophic population declines for many species. Astragalus michauxii (Fabaceae) is an herbaceous plant endemic to the region that is considered vulnerable to extinction, with populations generally consisting of fewer than 20 individuals. We developed eight polymorphic microsatellites and genotyped 355 individuals from 24 populations. We characterized the population genetic diversity and structure, tested for evidence of past bottlenecks, and identified evidence of contemporary gene flow between populations. The mean ratios of the number of alleles to the allelic range ( M ratio) across loci for A. michauxii populations were well below the threshold of 0.68 identified as indicative of a past genetic bottleneck. Genetic diversity estimates were similar across regions and populations, and comparable to other long-lived perennial species. Within-population genetic variation accounted for 92 % of the total genetic variation found in the species. Finally, there is evidence for contemporary gene flow among the populations in North Carolina. Although genetic factors can threaten rare species, maintaining habitats through prescribed burning, in concert with other interventions such as population augmentation or (re)introduction, are likely most critical to the long term survival of A. michauxii.

AB - Effects of white-nose syndrome (WNS) have mainly been assessed in bats at hibernacula, but this method may not be appropriate for species with poorly understood overwintering habits. We assessed effects of WNS on summer captures of Myotis leibii (Eastern Small-footed Bat), M. lucifugus (Little Brown Bat), M. septentrionalis (Northern Long-eared Bat), and Eptesicus fuscus (Big Brown Bat) in New Hampshire from 2005-2011. Declines in rates and probability of capture varied among species but were greatest in the Myotis. Trends generally agreed with previous studies, except that declines in captures of Eastern Small-footed Bats were disproportionately higher than expected from winter estimates. Monitoring of Eastern Small-footed Bats during the non-hibernation period likely will help to clarify the effects of WNS on this uncommon species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Ixodid ticks were collected from feral swine in eight Texas ecoregions from 2008-2011. Sixty-two percent of 806 feral swine were infested with one or more of the following species: Amblyomma americanum, A. cajennense, A. maculatum, Dermacentor albipictus, D. halli, D. variabilis, and Ixodes scapularis. Juvenile and adult feral swine of both sexes were found to serve as host to ixodid ticks. Longitudinal surveys of feral swine at four geographic locations show persistent year-round tick infestations of all gender-age classes for tick species common to their respective geographic locations and ecoregions. Amblyomma americanum, A. cajennense, A. maculatum and D. variabilis were collected from 66% of feral swine harvested through an abatement program in seven ecoregions from March to October in 2009. These results indicate westward geographic expansion of D. variabilis. Summary results show feral swine are competent hosts for ixodid species responsible for the transmission of pathogens and diminished well-being in livestock, wildlife, and humans.

AB - Although few successful examples of large-scale adaptive management applications are available to ecosystem restoration scientists and managers, examining where and how the components of an adaptive management program have been successfully implemented yields insight into what approaches have and have not worked. We document five key lessons learned during the decade-long development and implementation of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) Collaborative Adaptive Management Program that might be useful to other adaptive management practitioners. First, legislative and regulatory authorities that require the development of an adaptive management program are necessary to maintain funding and support to set up and implement adaptive management. Second, integration of adaptive management activities into existing institutional processes, and development of technical guidance, helps to ensure that adaptive management activities are understood and roles and responsibilities are clearly articulated so that adaptive management activities are implemented successfully. Third, a strong applied science framework is critical for establishing a prerestoration ecosystem reference condition and understanding of how the system works, as well as for providing a conduit for incorporating new scientific information into the decision-making process. Fourth, clear identification of uncertainties that pose risks to meeting restoration goals helps with the development of hypothesis-driven strategies to inform restoration planning and implementation. Tools such as management options matrices can provide a coherent way to link hypotheses to specific monitoring efforts and options to adjust implementation if performance goals are not achieved. Fifth, independent external peer review of an adaptive management program provides important feedback critical to maintaining and improving adaptive management implementation for ecosystem restoration. These lessons learned have helped shape the CERP Adaptive Management Program and are applicable to other natural resource management and restoration efforts; they can be used to help guide development and implementation of adaptive management programs facing similar challenges.

AB - Imposex and decline in reproductive output in marine gastropods have been linked to tributyltin (TBT) exposure. This study describes Chesapeake Bay, USA, veined rapa whelk Rapana venosa imposex incidence and sex ratios from 1998 to 2009. Tissue TBT concentrations (ng g −1) were examined with respect to whelk sex, size, and water temperature at the time of collection, and also to egg case size, hatching success, and veliger diameter. Imposex incidence declined and population sex ratios moved closer to parity from 1998 to 2009. Observed TBT concentrations (ng g −1) were higher in James River than in Ocean View whelks with higher TBT concentrations observed in males than in females. Exponential declines in TBT concentrations from female-specific first to last clutches within a reproductive season were observed, indicating that whelks depurate TBT through egg case deposition. Egg capsule hatching success and veliger size were similar for female and imposex whelks. The R. venosa imposex levels observed in Chesapeake Bay apparently do not affect the production, release, or viability of larvae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Mission assurance policy and risk management are essential in enabling decision makers to ensure successful completion of missions by addressing the security status of cyber assets. This paper presents a novel mission assurance policy that adapts to the dynamic security status of all mission assets to quickly and automatically determine mission assurance level and to decide what changes are needed accordingly. The novelty of this mission assurance policy stems from using a time Petri net model for determining the security status of cyber assets, and then employing binary or multi-valued logic decision diagrams to assess the mission assurance level. The ability of a mission assurance policy to successfully complete its objectives depends mainly on whether a risk management scheme is provided to reduce risk to an acceptable level. To that end, this paper also describes a risk management scheme to systematically deal with the main factors of risk management such as the temporal interdependencies of cyber assets, impact of attacks, and risk mitigation. Given that the status of cyber assets changes due to the dynamic cybersecurity environment of asset vulnerabilities, threats, and recovery, the proposed mission assurance policy and risk management scheme enable decision makers to cope with the real-time assessment of mission assurance level.

AB - Whether or not a migratory songbird embarks on a long-distance flight across an ecological barrier is likely a response to a number of endogenous and exogenous factors. During autumn 2008 and 2009, we used automated radio tracking to investigate how energetic condition, age, and weather influenced the departure timing and direction of Swainson’s thrushes ( Catharus ustulatus) during migratory stopover along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Most birds left within 1 h after sunset on the evening following capture. Those birds that departed later on the first night or remained longer than 1 day were lean. Birds that carried fat loads sufficient to cross the Gulf of Mexico generally departed in a seasonally appropriate southerly direction, whereas lean birds nearly always flew inland in a northerly direction. We did not detect an effect of age or weather on departures. The decision by lean birds to reorient movement inland may reflect the suitability of the coastal stopover site for deposition of fuel stores and the motivation to seek food among more extensive forested habitat away from the barrier.

AB - Toxicity tests evaluated chronic and sublethal effects of fog oil (FO) on a freshwater endangered fish. FO is released during military training as an obscurant smoke that can drift into aquatic habitats. Fountain darters, Etheostoma fonticola, of four distinct life stages were exposed under laboratory conditions to three forms of FO. FO was vaporized into smoke and allowed to settle onto water, violently agitated with water, and dosed onto water followed by photo-oxidization by ultraviolet irradiation. Single smoke exposures of spawning adult fish did not affect egg production, egg viability, or adult fish survival in 21-day tests. Multiple daily smoke exposures induced mortality after 5 days for larvae fish. Larvae and juvenile fish were more sensitive than eggs in 96-h lethal concentration (LC 50) tests with FO–water mixtures and photo-oxidized FO. Water-soluble FO components photo-modified by ultraviolet radiation were the most toxic, thus indicating the value of examining weathering and aging of chemicals for the best determination of environmental impact.

AB - The spatial resolution of a sonic anemometer is limited by the distance between its transducers, and for studies of small-scale turbulence and theories of turbulence, it is desirable to increase this spatial resolution. We here consider resolution improvements obtainable by treating the sonic anemometer as a small tomography array, with application of appropriate inverse algorithms for the reconstruction of temperature and velocity. A particular modification of the sonic anemometer is considered when the number of its transducers is doubled and the time-dependent stochastic inversion algorithm is used for reconstruction. Numerical simulations of the sonic anemometer and its suggested modification are implemented with the temperature and velocity fields modelled as discrete eddies moving through the sonic's volume. The tomographic approach is shown to provide better reconstructions of the temperature and velocity fields, with spatial resolution increased by as much as a factor of ten. The spatial resolution depends on the inverse algorithm and also improves by increasing the number of transducers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We recorded 94 sound-response events at 3 adult-occupied northern goshawk ( Accipiter gentilis) nests 78 m, 143 m, and 167 m from the nearest United States Forest Service maintenance level 3, improved gravel road on the Kaibab Plateau in northern Arizona. During 4 test sessions on 7, 8, 10, and 11 June 2010, we recorded 60 experimentally controlled logging trucks; 30 non-experimental, civilian, fixed-winged aircraft; 3 non-experimental, passing cars; and 1 all-terrain vehicle (ATV). Logging truck sound, principally engine and exhaust, was concentrated in the 63 Hz and 80 Hz, 1/3-octave frequency bands. Aircraft sound was concentrated in the 100 Hz and 125 Hz, 1/3-octave frequency bands. Logging truck noise levels varied among nest sites and with distance from roads. At 167 m from the closest road, the logging truck averaged approximately 8 decibels (dB, all decibel levels C-weighted, adjusted, 1 s, equivalent sound level, CLEQ) quieter than aircraft. At 143 m, the logging truck was approximately 3 dB quieter than passing aircraft. Only at 78 m was logging truck noise louder on average than aircraft, by approximately 6 dB. Average aircraft noise levels for each day of testing ranged between 45.6 dB and 67.9 dB and when averaged across the entire study period, varied little among the 3 test sites, 60.1-65.6 dB. On average, our test logging truck (61.9 dB) was no louder than passing aircraft (62.3 dB), which goshawks generally ignored. The logging truck resulted in 27% no response and 73% alert (head turning) response, passing aircraft resulted in 90% no response and only 10% alert response, and the cars and ATV combined resulted in 50% each for no response and alert response. Goshawk alert response rates were inversely proportional to nest distance from the nearest road, decreasing from 91% to 57% alert between 78 m and 167 m. No movements or flushes were associated with either our experimental testing or passive recording of other vehicular noise stimuli. All tested pairs of goshawks successfully fledged young. Because logging truck noise had no effect on northern goshawks nesting along level 3, improved gravel roads on the Kaibab Plateau, restriction of log hauling and other road-based travel activities on similar roads within post-fledging family areas (PFAs) appears unnecessary based on the type and extent of our testing. © 2013 The Wildlife Society.

AB - Nutrient load allocations and subsequent reductions in total nitrogen and phosphorus have been applied in the Chesapeake watershed since 1992 to reduce hypoxia and to restore living resources. In 2010, sediment allocations were established to augment nutrient allocations supporting the submerged aquatic vegetation resource. From the initial introduction of nutrient allocations in 1992 to the present, the allocations have become more completely applied to all areas and loads in the watershed and have also become more rigorously assessed and tracked. The latest 2010 application of nutrient and sediment allocations were made as part of the Chesapeake Bay total maximum daily load and covered all six states of the Chesapeake watershed. A quantitative allocation process was developed that applied principles of equity and efficiency in the watershed, while achieving all tidal water quality standards through an assessment of equitable levels of effort in reducing nutrients and sediments. The level of effort was determined through application of two key watershed scenarios: one where no action was taken in nutrient control and one where maximum nutrient control efforts were applied. Once the level of effort was determined for different jurisdictions, the overall load reduction was set watershed-wide to achieve dissolved oxygen water quality standards. Further adjustments were made to the allocation to achieve the James River chlorophyll- a standard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A numerical model, the Curvilinear Hydrodynamics in 3-Dimensions, Waterway Experiment Station version ( CH3D- WES), was applied to represent transport processes of the Chesapeake Bay. Grid resolution and spatial coverage, tied with realistic bathymetry, ensured dynamic responses along the channel and near the shoreline. The model was run with the forcing ranges from high frequency astronomical tides to lower frequency meteorological forcing, given by surface wind and heat flux, as well as hydrological forcing given by fresh water inflows both from upstream and distributed sources along the shoreline. To validate the model, a long-term simulation over seven-year time period between 1994 and 2000 was performed. The model results were compared with existing observation data including water level time series, which spans over a wide spectrum of time scales, and long-term variations in salinity structures over varying parts of the Bay. The validated model is set to provide an appropriate transport mechanism to the water quality model through linkage, warranting that the model takes into account the complexity in time and spatial scales associated with the dynamic processes in the Chesapeake.

AB - The growing threat of an influenza pandemic presents a unique challenge to healthcare workers, emergency responders, and the civilian population. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved respirators to provide protection against infectious airborne viruses in various workplace settings. The filtration efficiency of selected NIOSH-approved particulate N95 and P100 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and filter cartridges was investigated against the viable MS2 virus, a non-pathogenic bacteriophage, aerosolized from a liquid suspension. Tests were performed under two cyclic flow conditions (minute volumes of 85 and 135 L/min) and two constant flow rates (85 and 270 L/min). The mean penetrations of viable MS2 through the N95 and P100 FFRs/cartridges were typically less than 2 and 0.03%, respectively, under all flow conditions. All N95 and P100 FFR and cartridge models assessed in this study, therefore, met or exceeded their respective efficiency ratings of 95 and 99.97% against the viable MS2 test aerosol, even under the very high flow conditions. These NIOSH-approved FFRs and particulate respirators equipped with these cartridges can be anticipated to achieve expected levels of protection (consistent with their assigned protection factor) against airborne viral agents, provided that they are properly selected, fitted, worn, and maintained.

AB - A fixed biofilm system was explored for decentralized wastewater treatment utilizing laboratory cultivated microorganisms including Gordonia sp. The system is deployable in a 40-ft ISO container/trailer or on a C-130 aircraft. Experimental results indicated that pre-addition of raw wastewater to the microbial culture before inoculation resulted in a significantly higher BOD5 degradation (77 ± 2% in 24 h) than the consortium alone (58 ± 10%) during the startup of the system. After the pilot system was in semi-continuous operation with an average flow rate of 13.2 L/min, the removal efficiency of BOD5 and total suspended solids (TSS) was 83 ± 9 and 84 ± 9, respectively. As an important supplement to the pilot studies, laboratorial tests by headspace analysis showed that the Gordonia sp. were able to degrade benzene in water. More significant biodegradation of benzene was found in sessile form (57 ± 8%) than in planktonic form (25 ± 11%) with minimal glucose in 26 h. However, no benzene degradation was found in sessile form when no glucose was supplied. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 32: 505-511, 2013 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - ABSTRACT The upper Missouri River bottomland in north-central Montana, USA, retains much of the physical character it had when traversed by Lewis and Clark around 1805. We used geospatial data to quantify long-term changes in the distribution of bottomland vegetation, land use patterns and channel planform for a 257-rkm segment of the Missouri River above Fort Peck Reservoir. This segment is less ecologically altered than downstream segments, but two dams completed in the mid-1950s have decreased the frequency and magnitude of floods. The area of forest is sparse because of geomorphic setting but, contrary to public perception, has remained relatively constant during the past century. However, the stability of forest area obscures its spatial and temporal dynamics. We used state and transition models to quantify fates and sources of forest during two periods: 1890s-1950s and 1950s-2006. Total forest area was 6% greater in 2006 than it was in the 1890s, largely due to reduced forest loss to erosional processes and gains related to progressive channel narrowing. Channel narrowing resulted in part from human-caused peak flow attenuation. A modified transition matrix, used to examine future steady-state conditions, projected little change in forest area; however, these projections are likely an overestimate. The extent to which 2006 forest area represents a transient adjustment to a new flow regime versus a dynamic, quasi-steady state will be determined by the long-term interplay among hydrologic factors, channel processes, water management and land use practices. Published 2012. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The increased availability of end use measurement studies allows for mechanistic and detailed approaches to estimating household water demand and conservation potential. This study simulates water use in a single-family residential neighborhood using end-water-use parameter probability distributions generated from Monte Carlo sampling. This model represents existing water use conditions in 2010 and is calibrated to 2006-2011 metered data. A two-stage mixed integer optimization model is then developed to estimate the least-cost combination of long- and short-term conservation actions for each household. This least-cost conservation model provides an estimate of the upper bound of reasonable conservation potential for varying pricing and rebate conditions. The models were adapted from previous work in Jordan and are applied to a neighborhood in San Ramon, California in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area. The existing conditions model produces seasonal use results very close to the metered data. The least-cost conservation model suggests clothes washer rebates are among most cost-effective rebate programs for indoor uses. Retrofit of faucets and toilets is also cost-effective and holds the highest potential for water savings from indoor uses. This mechanistic modeling approach can improve understanding of water demand and estimate cost-effectiveness of water conservation programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Understanding why military students pursue a master's degree has become more important as the number of military students taking advantage of education benefits through the Post- 911 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 has increased. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how U.S. Army officers attending the Command and General Staff College (CGSC) decided to enroll in a master's degree program. Four research questions guided the study to determine whether and how career requirements, post-military aspirations, family considerations, and previous academic experience influenced the choice to pursue a master's degree. A conceptual framework comprised career development, career decision making, and adult development that provided additional guidance. The study used a case study methodology, and 26 military students participated. Data collection comprised interview and surveys, and data analysis comprised coding with peer review and member checking. The findings affirmed the research questions and identified themes related to self-efficacy, goal setting, persistence, and time management, leading to implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Purpose Research suggests the importance of psychosocial factors in recovery from musculoskeletal injuries. The objective of this study was to identify predictors of recovery among U.S. Marines who had musculoskeletal injuries of the back, knee, or shoulder. Methods A sample of 134 participants was assessed at baseline and followed for 1 year to determine outcome information. Results The strongest predictor of injury recovery at the 1-year follow-up was recovery expectations. In a multivariate logistic model with key demographic and psychosocial factors controlled, individuals who had high recovery expectations at baseline were over five times as likely to be recovered at follow-up as individuals who had low expectations (OR = 5.18, p < .01). Conclusions This finding is consistent with a large body of research that has linked recovery expectations with better recovery outcomes in patients with musculoskeletal injuries as well as with research linking recovery expectations with better outcomes across a wide range of medical conditions. Applied to military populations, interventions designed to modify recovery expectations may have the potential to improve rates of return to duty and to reduce rates of disability discharge.

AB - This investigation assessed the thermophysiological and subjective impacts of different respirator ambient air cooling options while wearing chemical and biological personal protective equipment in a warm environment (32.7 ± 0.4°C, 49.6 ± 6.5% RH). Ten volunteers participated in 90-min heat exposure trials with and without respirator (Control) wear and performed computer-generated tasks while seated. Ambient air cooling was provided to respirators modified to blow air to the forehead (FHC) or to the forehead and the breathing zone (BZC) of a full-facepiece air-purifying respirator using a low-flow (45 L·min−1) mini-blower. An unmodified respirator (APR) trial was also completed. The highest body temperatures (TTY) and least favorable comfort ratings were observed for the APR condition. With ambient cooling over the last 60 min of heat exposure, TTYaveraged 37.4 ± 0.6°C for Control, 38.0 ± 0.4°C for APR, 37.8 ± 0.5°C for FHC, and 37.6 ± 0.7°C for BZC conditions independent of time. Both the FHC and BZC ambient air cooling conditions reduced facial skin temperatures, reduced the rise in body temperatures, and led to more favorable subjective comfort and thermal sensation ratings over time compared to the APR condition; however statistical differences among conditions were inconsistent. Independent of exposure time, average breathing apparatus comfort scores with BZC (7.2 ± 2.5) were significantly different from both Control (8.9 ± 1.4) and APR (6.5 ± 2.2) conditions when ambient cooling was activated. These findings suggest that low-flow ambient air cooling of the face under low work rate conditions and mild hyperthermia may be a practical method to minimize the thermophysiological strain and reduce perceived respirator discomfort.

AB - Standard Vietnam War narratives often argue that the U.S. Army lost the war because it failed to learn and adapt to the conditions of an unconventional conflict. Based on a reappraisal of learning processes rather than on the outcome of the war, this essay argues that as an organization, the U.S. Army did learn and adapt in Vietnam; however, that learning was not sufficient, in itself, to preserve a South Vietnam in the throes of a powerful nationalist upheaval. A reexamination of the Army's strategic approach, operational experiences, and organizational changes reveals that significant learning did occur during the Vietnam War despite the conflict's final result.

AB - James Madison faced a difficult war because of Republican antipathy to taxation, debt, standing armies, federal aid to infrastructure, and a national bank. Many Republicans shared Thomas Jefferson's faith that an untrained militia could easily conquer Canada, but they did not improve militia training or administration. Indeed, Jefferson gutted the army's fledgling supply organization in 1802, an act far more significant for the War of 1812 than the creation of the Military Academy. Jefferson boxed himself and his successor into a corner by refusing to negotiate with Britain on realistic terms and by relying on commercial sanctions that damaged the economy and devastated revenues. Reactive and backward-looking, the Jeffersonian Republicans refused to match ends and means and failed to create a viable deterrent or alternative to war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Social network analysis is based on the fundamental axiom that network structure can help determine which Individuals are important in a social network. In order to better understand the structure of covert networks, characterized imperfect and incomplete network data, we consider how to incorporate intelligence fusion into network analysis. This paper introduces a modified static Bernoulli random-graph model as a way to evaluate uncertain network structures. The results demonstrate that stochastically generating thousands of network structures, where known associations are held constant and suspected associations are treated as independent random variables, has the effect of proportionally emphasizing corroborated data from reliable sources. Evaluating multiple structures also enables an analyst to quantify the uncertainty of centrality-based targeting recommendations. Lastly, the implications of subjectively including or omitting specific pieces of information can be mitigated by assigning a likelihood probability to each suspected association.

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

AB - This essay explores how federalized Texas Rangers, in the form of scout companies and larger mounted rifle regiments, provided controversial, and ultimately cost-effective, versatility to the US Army during its campaign in Northern Mexico between 1846 and 1848. It argues that their contributions centered on three tactical tasks that enhanced the invading army's maneuvers: reconnaissance, direct assault, and counterguerrilla patrolling. Each of these actions reflected a distinctive skill-set at which the auxiliaries excelled, marking them as exceptionally multifunctional assets. The Texans' augmentation coincided with, and was necessitated by, the evolving stages of the war in Northern Mexico, beginning with the American army's initial invasion, then transitioning to the assault on Monterrey, and finally ending with a troubled occupation where the rangers' brutality both enabled and undermined American pacification efforts.

AB - Authentication is a fundamental requirement for secure communications. In this article, we describe a general framework for fingerprint embedding at the physical layer in order to provide message authentication that is secure and bandwidth-efficient. Rather than depending on channel or device characteristics that are outside of our control, deliberate fingerprint embedding for message authentication enables control over performance trade-offs by design. Furthermore, low-power fingerprint designs enhance security by making the authentication tags less accessible to adversaries. We define metrics for communications and authentication performance, and discuss the trade-offs in system design. Results from our wireless software-defined radio experiments validate the theory and demonstrate the low complexity, practicality, and enhanced security of the approach. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - A good fit of model predictions to empirical data are often used as an argument for model validity. However, if the model is flexible enough to fit a large proportion of potential empirical outcomes, finding a good fit becomes less meaningful. We propose a method for estimating the proportion of potential empirical outcomes that the model can fit: Model Flexibility Analysis (MFA). MFA aids model evaluation by providing a metric for gauging the persuasiveness of a given fit. We demonstrate that MFA can be more informative than merely discounting the fit by the number of free parameters in the model, and show how the number of free parameters does not necessarily correlate with the flexibility of the model. Additionally, we contrast MFA with other flexibility assessment techniques, including Parameter Space Partitioning, Model Mimicry, Minimum Description Length, and Prior Predictive Evaluation. Finally, we provide examples of how MFA can help to inform modeling results and discuss a variety of issues relating to the use of MFA in model validation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Purpose: This study aimed to compare WBGT measurements at three locations along the Boston Marathon race course and compare WBGT estimates for meteorological stations and 72-h advanced WBGT forecasts. Methods: WBGT was measured hourly from 1000 to 1400 h at approximately 7 km, approximately 18 km, and approximately 30 km on the Boston Marathon race course. Simultaneous WBGT estimates were made for two meteorological stations southeast of the course via a commercial online system, which also provided 72-h advanced forecasts. Results: The measurement difference (mean ± SD) among course locations was 0.2°C ± 1.8°C WBGT (ANOVA, P > 0.05). The difference between course and stations was 1.9°C ± 2.4°C WBGT (/-test, P < 0.05). Station values underestimated (n = 98) or overestimated (n = 13) course values by >3°C WBGT (>0.5 flag category) in 111 of 245 paired comparisons (45%). Higher black globe and lower wet bulb temperatures explained over- and underestimates, respectively. Significant underestimates ofWBGT resulted in misclassification of green (labeled white) and black (labeled red) course flag categories (x2 , P < 0.05). Forecast data significantly underestimated red (labeled amber) and black (labeled red) course flag categories. Conclusions: Differences in WBGT index along 23 km of the Boston Marathon race route can be small enough to warrant single measurements. However, significant misclassification of flag categories occurred using WBGT estimates for meteorological stations; thus, local measurements are preferred. If the relation between station WBGT forecasts and the race sites can be established, the forecast WBGT values could be corrected to give advanced warning of approximate flag conditions. Similar work is proposed for other venues to improve heat stress monitoring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The potential regulation of chlorate, a by-product of hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide disinfection, presents a significant challenge for the drinking water community. Data from the Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule were analyzed to gain insights about chlorate occurrence. The number of utilities affected by a potential chlorate regulation would vary significantly depending on the concentration at which chlorate might be regulated and whether compliance calculations incorporate averaging. Seasonal trends in chlorate concentrations were observed, with the highest concentrations occurring during the summer. Chlorate concentrations also vary significantly between the entry point to the distribution system and the point of maximum residence time. Analysis of results for systems using gaseous chlorine, which is not known to form chlorate, suggests that source water chlorate concentrations may be significant for some source waters and that those source concentrations may increase during low-flow or drought events.

AB - The objectives of this study are to investigate distribution of trace elements and heavy metals in the salt marsh and wetland soil and biogeochemical processes in the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve of the northern Gulf of Mexico. The results show that Hg, Cd and to some extent, As and Pb have been significantly accumulated in soils. The strongest correlations were found between concentrations of Ni and total organic matter contents. The correlations decreased in the order: Ni > Cr > Sr > Co > Zn, Cd > Cu > Cs. Strong correlations were also observed between total P and concentrations of Ni, Co, Cr, Sr, Zn, Cu, and Cd. This may be related to the P spilling accident in 2005 in the Bangs Lake site. Lead isotopic ratios in soils matched well those of North American coals, indicating the contribution of Pb through atmospheric fallout from coal power plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Rosmarinic acid and Epigallocatechin gallate concentrations were studied as natural inhibitors of Maillard browning in glucose/glycine model systems, and in bakery rolls and applesauce. The concentrations of the inhibitors were varied to determine the highest level of inhibition without a pro-oxidant/browning effect. UV absorbance and gas chromatography/mass spec (GC/MS) with solid phase microextraction (SPME) sampling was used to study browning in the model systems. Hunter L*, a*, b* was used to analyze the color change results of the inhibitors on applesauce and bakery rolls. It was determined that a 1.0% solution of either antioxidant in the glucose/glycine system produced the greatest inhibition and a synergistic effect was not apparent when the two were combined. Inhibition of browning and a lack of synergy between the antioxidants were also determined in food systems consisting of applesauce and bakery rolls. GC/MS analysis of the model system revealed a high level of pyrazine formation in no-inhibitor control samples and the absence of pyrazines in inhibitor-containing samples. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - Practical Application Natural browning inhibitors, that is Rosmarinic acid and Epigallocatechin gallate, can be added to food items to inhibit browning over a prolonged period of storage in order to increase product shelf stability. The concentrations of the inhibitors require optimization since a pro-oxidant effect and increased browning will occur at high levels. (Portuguese) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The objective of this paper is to provide a review of in-stream hydrokinetic power, which is defined as electric power generated by devices capturing the energy of naturally flowing water--stream, tidal, or open ocean flows--without impounding the water. North America has significant in-stream energy resources, and hydrokinetic electric power technologies to harness those resources have the potential to make a significant contribution to U.S. electricity needs by adding as much as 120 TWh=year from rivers alone to the present hydroelectric power generation capacity. Additionally, tidal and ocean current resources in the U.S. respectively contain 438 TWh=year and 163 TWh=year of extractable power. Among their attractive features, in-stream hydrokinetic operations do not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions or other air pollution and have less visual impact than wind turbines. Since these systems do no utilize dams the way traditional hydropower systems typically do, their impact on the environment will differ, and a small but growing number of studies support conclusions regarding those impacts. Potential environmental impacts include altered water quality, altered sediment deposition, altered habitats, direct impact on biota, and navigability of waterways. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Soil organic nitrogen (SON) is the main source of available N to microbes through mineralization. Although the importance of SON is recognized, the chemical nature of SON is not well described mainly because of methodological limitations. The objective of this study was to modify the operationally defined SON fractionation scheme to improve sample processing time. The operationally defined SON pools are amino sugar N, amino acid N, and hydrolyzable unknown N. Modifications to the method included: SON hydrolysis using an electric griddle, use of 0.05 mol L-1 H2SO4 NH3 traps, and use of a forced-air oven during amino acid N deamination. The modified method improved sample throughput by (i) increasing soil extractions from one to 12 samples at a time, (ii) decreasing sample analysis time by using colorimetric methods, and (iii) reducing temperature variability during amino acid N deamination. We estimate that the method modifications save on average 5 h per 12 samples. The modified method was then applied to 10 flooded or drained wetland soils that ranged from 3 to 34 g kg-1 total N (TN). The labile SON pools ranged from 0.06 to 1.29 g kg-1 amino sugar N and 0.74 to 10.5 g kg-1 amino acid N. Amino sugar N linearly increased with soil total C (TC; R2 = 0.60). Amino acid N exponentially increased with TC (R2 = 0.80), suggesting that conditions in wetlands preferentially conserve amino acid N. A decline in amino acid N with drained conditions highlighted the potential loss of TN stored in wetlands, estimated at 50 to 75 Pg. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study develops an interdisciplinary framework to investigate the relationship between environmental processes and human wellbeing that can be adapted to any geographic location. Based on the use and availability of open-source data, the methodology advanced in this research has the capacity to examine household-level drivers of vulnerability that are rarely accounted for in regional and global indices. A household level vulnerability analysis is conducted for four countries – Malawi, Uganda, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. This research seeks to develop a vulnerability model that can be both applied to vulnerable countries in the East African Rift and offer insight into internal dynamic processes and drivers of vulnerability. The enhanced methodology presented in this paper can assist stakeholders and policy-makers in determining what drives vulnerability at a household level, where vulnerable populations are, and suggest what type of aid to target specific locations to be of greatest benefit.

AB - Systematic consideration of scientific support is a critical element in developing and, ultimately, using adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) for various regulatory applications. Though weight of evidence (WoE) analysis has been proposed as a basis for assessment of the maturity and level of confidence in an AOP, methodologies and tools are still being formalized. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Users’ Handbook Supplement to the Guidance Document for Developing and Assessing AOPs (OECD 2014a; hereafter referred to as the OECD AOP Handbook) provides tailored Bradford-Hill (BH) considerations for systematic assessment of confidence in a given AOP. These considerations include (1) biological plausibility and (2) empirical support (dose-response, temporality, and incidence) for Key Event Relationships (KERs), and (3) essentiality of key events (KEs). Here, we test the application of these tailored BH considerations and the guidance outlined in the OECD AOP Handbook using a number of case examples to increase experience in more transparently documenting rationales for assigned levels of confidence to KEs and KERs, and to promote consistency in evaluation within and across AOPs. The major lessons learned from experience are documented, and taken together with the case examples, should contribute to better common understanding of the nature and form of documentation required to increase confidence in the application of AOPs for specific uses. Based on the tailored BH considerations and defining questions, a prototype quantitative model for assessing the WoE of an AOP using tools of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is described. The applicability of the approach is also demonstrated using the case example aromatase inhibition leading to reproductive dysfunction in fish. Following the acquisition of additional experience in the development and assessment of AOPs, further refinement of parameterization of the model through expert elicitation is recommended. Overall, the application of quantitative WoE approaches hold promise to enhance the rigor, transparency and reproducibility for AOP WoE determinations and may play an important role in delineating areas where research would have the greatest impact on improving the overall confidence in the AOP.

AB - The Ecosystem Functions Model (HEC-EFM) is designed to help study teams determine ecosystem responses to changes in the flow regime of a river or connected wetland. HEC-EFM analyses involve: 1) statistical analyses of relationships between hydrology and ecology, 2) hydraulic modeling, and 3) use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Through this process, study teams define existing ecologic conditions, highlight promising restoration sites, and assess alternatives according to predicted ecosystem changes. HEC-EFM has many strengths, most notably it 1) is capable of testing change for many ecological relationships and management scenarios, 2) links ecology with established hydrologic, hydraulic, and GIS tools, and 3) can be applied quickly, inexpensively, and can incorporate expert knowledge. This paper introduces HEC-EFM and describes its use for statistical analyses and habitat mapping. Two examples are provided: Provision of Sacramento splittail minnow spawning habitat, San Joaquin River, California, USA, and cottonwood seedling establishment, Bill Williams River, Arizona, USA.

AB - Eastern oyster abundance is at an all-time low, yet this species is a key component of many estuarine systems because it contributes to ecosystem function by providing habitat, improving water quality, stabilizing benthic and intertidal habitat, increasing landscape diversity and producing more oysters. Given the breadth of environmental benefits oysters provide, as well as their commercial and cultural importance, sustainable oyster production has become a priority in several regions, including the Chesapeake Bay. Current strategies include treating restored reefs as permanent sanctuaries, which provide long-term environmental benefits yet removes them from the fishery, or harvesting reefs on a rotational basis, which provides economic value yet decreases environmental benefits. The long term dynamics of these strategies is unknown. Oysters have a complex, biphasic life cycle (i.e., sessile adult and motile larval stages) and their viability is intimately tied to a suite of environmental factors including, but not limited to, flow regime, total suspended solids, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. In order to determine how different oyster management strategies affect oyster dynamics, we developed a multi-model approach that integrates a 2-D hydrodynamic model, a larval transport model, and a spatially-explicit, agent-based population dynamics model to simulate long term oyster dynamics. We applied our model to a ten reef system in the Great Wicomico River in the Chesapeake Bay, and simulated six different combinations of sanctuary and/or harvest management scenarios over an 8-year period. We evaluated the environmental and commercial benefits of each strategy. Our results indicated that sanctuary reefs are beneficial, and that the spatial position of sanctuary reefs strongly affected source-sink dynamics and must be considered before implementing a harvest regime. Simulations that did not consider the source/sink dynamics of the reefs yielded larger numbers of oysters for harvest in the short-term, yet resulted in a complete fishery collapse in the long term. Selective, rotational harvest, resulted in lower annual yield, but the fishery persisted throughout the eight year simulation. This integrated modeling approach helped reduce uncertainty within the study system and can help natural resource managers understand ecosystem-level processes leading to more informed decision making across spatial and temporal scales.

AB - Tropical cyclones deliver intense winds that can generate some of the most severe surface wave and storm surge conditions in the coastal ocean. Hurricane Irene (2011) crossed a large, shallow lagoonal estuarine system in North Carolina, causing flooding and erosion of the adjacent low-lying coastal plain and barrier islands. This event provided an opportunity to improve understanding of the estuarine response to strong and rotating wind forcing. Observations from acoustic sensors in subestuaries and water-level elevation measurements from a network of pressure sensors across the system are presented. Data are examined with two modeling techniques: (1) a simple numerical approach using a momentum balance between the wind stress, flow acceleration, pressure gradient, and bottom friction that gives insight into temporal variability in water levels through the passage of the storm; and (2) an advanced hydrodynamic model based on the full shallow water fluid momentum equations, coupled to a spectral surface wave model that accounts for the spatially varying bathymetry and wind field. The results indicate that both wind-generated surface waves and the wind-driven storm surge are important contributors to the total water surface elevations that induce flooding along estuarine shorelines under strong hurricane forcing.

AB - The United States Army is constructing a new water-treatment facility for Fort Irwin/National Training Center in the Mojave Desert region of southern California to address existing regulatory requirements and to account for anticipated expansion at the installation. The proposed treatment, electrodialysis reversal (EDR), is anticipated to recover 92% of the influent water. The ultimate goal was to achieve 99% recovery, which required additional recovery of the EDR concentrate. This paper describes laboratory testing of conventional watertreatment methods to achieve water recovery beyond standard practice. The effectiveness of lime softening followed by secondary reverse osmosis (RO) was evaluated to treat the concentrate stream and recover additional water to approach 98%. Partial lime softening at dosages of 500 - 2,000 mg/L of hydrated lime was capable of removing hardness from simulated EDR concentrate. Adding magnesium chloride to the lime softening step increased silica removal, bringing SiO2 concentrations in the simulated EDR concentrate from 110 to 6.8 mg/L at room temperature. The resulting treated water was suitable for effective reverse osmosis with a standard seawater polyamide membrane. Rejection for all of the dissolved constituents was well above 90% with the exception of arsenic, which was reduced from 50 μg/L to levels on the order of 20 μg/L. To achieve 99% recovery, mechanical vapor recompression is being considered to further recover the concentrate from the RO unit, although this unit process was not evaluated in the research reported in this paper.

AB - Farmers in regions experiencing water stress or drought conditions can struggle to balance their crop portfolios. Periods of low precipitation often lead to increased, unsustainable reliance on groundwater-supplied irrigation. As a result, regional water management agencies place limits on the amount of water which can be obtained from groundwater, requiring farmers to reduce acreage for more water-intensive crops or remove them from the portfolio entirely. Real-time decisions must be made by the farmer to ensure viability of their farming operation and reduce the impacts associated with limited water resources. Evolutionary algorithms, coupled with accurate, flexible, realistic simulation tools, are ideal mechanisms to allow farmers to assess scenarios with regard to multiple, competing objectives. In order to effective, however, one must be able to select among a variety of simulation tools and optimization algorithms. Many simulation tools allow no access to the source code, and many optimization algorithms are now packaged as part of a suite of tools available to a user. In this work, we describe a framework for integrating these different software components using only their associated input and output streams. We analyze our strategy by coupling a multi-objective genetic algorithm available in the DAKOTA optimization suite (developed and distributed by Sandia National Laboratory) with the MODFLOW-FMP2 simulation tool (developed and distributed by the United States Geological Survey). MODFLOW-FMP2 has been used extensively to model hydrological and farming processes in agriculture-dominated regions, allowing us to represent both farming and conservation interests. We evaluate our integration by considering a case study related to planting decisions facing farmers experiencing water stress. We present numerical results for three competing objectives associated with stakeholders in a given region (i.e., profitability, meeting demand targets, and water conservation). The data obtained from the optimization are robust with respect to algorithmic parameter choices, validating the ability of the associated evolutionary algorithm to perform well without expert guidance. This is integral to our approach, as a motivation for this work is providing decision-making tools. In addition, the results from this study demonstrate that output from the chosen evolutionary algorithm provides a suite of feasible planting scenarios, giving farmers and policy makers the ability to compromise solutions based on realistic simulation data.

AB - Problem In spite of recent efforts to improve occupational health and safety, many occupational accidents result in serious injury and death every year. Continued efforts are therefore necessary to improve current safety initiatives and reduce the frequency and severity of these incidents. To identify workplace hazards, many safety surveillance techniques have been used, including severity metrics to determine the significance of an accident. These techniques involve risk assessment to identify potential hazards and the expected severity of injuries which may result from these hazards, usually based on the severity of similar past injuries. However, these severity metrics do not consider important employee and workplace risk factors, such as age, gender, and weather, which may have significant impacts on accident severity. Method A new severity scoring system is introduced which considers multiple injury severity factors, and is used as part of a novel three-dimensional risk assessment matrix which includes an incident’s severity, frequency, and preventability. A case study using the proposed methodology with real data is presented. Discussion The consideration of additional severity factors improves risk assessment and the estimation of injury severity. A three dimensional risk assessment matrix allows for the analysis of an incident’s degree of preventability, frequency, and severity all at once. Practical Applications This study demonstrates that organizations, industries, and regulatory bodies can improve workplace safety surveillance tools by incorporating this new severity metric in a three-dimensional risk assessment matrix.

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

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

AB - This project examines the sophisticated cultural toolkit deployed by contemporary US military advisors to successfully build productive relationships with foreign security forces, advance the advising mission, and survive combat. This project's data stems from a three-part multi-method, including a survey conducted in Iraq; a document analysis; and interviews. This article focuses on numerous subthemes that coalesce to vividly divulge an intriguing story about how contemporary advisors build relationships with counterparts, including avoiding an “Ugly American” approach, how cross-cultural competence benefits the mission and increases survivability, learning about counterparts, the power of informal socializing, employing humor, navigating taboo topics, cultural stretching and associated limits, diplomatically balancing strength and subtlety, and taking physical and cultural risks. This project argues that effective advisors deploy a multifaceted cultural toolkit filled with peacekeeper-diplomat, warrior, subject matter expert, innovator, leader, and other tools, which reveals broader organizational changes indicative of emergent postmodern US military culture.

N2 - Background: Military personnel and first responders (police and firefighters) often carry large amounts of gear. This increased load can negatively affect posture and lead to back pain. The ability to quantitatively measure muscle thickness under loading would be valuable to clinicians to assess the effectiveness of core stabilization treatment programs and could aid in return to work decisions. Ultrasound imaging (USI) has the potential to provide such a measure, but to be useful it must be reliable. Purpose: To assess the intrarater and interrater reliability of measurements of transversus abdominis (TrA) and internal oblique (IO) muscle thickness conducted by novice examiners using USI in supine, standing, and with an axial load. Study Design: Prospective, test-retest study Methods: Healthy, active duty military (N = 33) personnel were examined by two physical therapy doctoral students (primary and secondary ultrasound technicians) without prior experience in USI. Thickness measurements of the TrA and IO muscles were performed at rest and during a contraction to preferentially activate the TrA in three positions (hook-lying, standing, and standing with body armor). Percent thickness changes and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated. Results: Using the mean of three measurements for each of the three positions in resting and contracted muscle states, the intrarater ICC (3,3) values ranged from 0.90 to 0.98. The interrater ICC (2,1) values ranged from 0.39 to 0.79. The ICC values of percent thickness changes were lower than the individual ICC values for all positions and muscle states. Conclusion: There is excellent intrarater reliability of novice ultrasound technicians measuring abdominal muscle thickness using USI in three positions during the resting and contracted muscle states. However, interrater reliability of two novice technicians was poor to fair, so additional training and experience may be necessary to improve reliability. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - A long-term (2002-2011), spatially robust, ichthyoplankton sampling program conducted in the New York/New Jersey Harbor produced 3,033 epibenthic samples from which the relationships between winter flounder egg and larval distributions and environmental parameters were examined. Variations in water temperature, sediment characteristics, and tidal phase were all significantly associated with egg distributions. Inferences about spawning habitats were based on the presence of early-stage eggs (ES1 and ES2). In the Lower Bay (LB), these habitats were primarily non-channel and characterized by more sandy substrates, averaging 96.5 % sand, 2.3 % silt/clay, 0.2 % total organic carbon (TOC), and shallower water (average depths of 5.3 m) compared to LB non-channel stations without ES1 and ES2 eggs (50.2 % sand, 42.0 % silt/clay, 2.1 % TOC, and 7.9 m depths). Occurrences of all stages of eggs in channels were associated with strong tides and severe cold winter water temperatures. These conditions increase the probability of egg transport from shallow spawning sites through increased vertical mixing (strong tides) and delayed development that prolongs the risk of displacement (cold temperatures). Yolk-sac (YS) and Stage-2 larvae were smaller in 2010 when spring water temperatures were highest. Overall, YS larval size decreased with warmer winters (cumulative degree-days for the month preceding peak YS larval collections, r = 0.82, p < 0.05). In all years, YS larvae collected in LB were smaller and Stage-3 larvae collected in channels were larger and possibly older than those from non-channel habitat. Because estuarine winter flounder populations are highly localized, adverse effects experienced during egg and larval stages are likely to propagate resulting in detrimental consequences for the year class in the natal estuary.

AB - To provide evidence-based guidance regarding the efficacy and safety of dietary protein supplement (PS) use by members of the U.S. Armed Forces, a panel of internationally recognized experts in the fields of protein metabolism and dietary supplement research was convened by the Department of Defense Center Alliance for Dietary Supplement Research and the U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command. To develop a consensus statement, potential benefits, risks, and strategies to optimize military performance through PS use were considered in the context of specific warfighter populations and occupational demands. To maintain muscle mass, strength, and performance during periods of substantial metabolic demand and concomitant negative energy balance the panel recommended that warfighters consume 1.5-2.0 g · kg-1 ·d-1 of protein. However, if metabolic demand is low, such as in garrison, protein intake should equal the current Military Dietary Reference Intake (0.8-1.5 g · kg-1 · d-1). Although PS use generally appears to be safe for healthy adults, warfighters should be educated on PS quality, given quality-control and contamination concerns with commercial dietary supplements. To achieve recommended protein intakes, the panel strongly urges consumption of high-quality protein-containing whole foods. However, when impractical, the use of PSs (20-25 g per serving or 0.25-0.3 g · kg-1 per meal), particularly after periods of strenuous physical activity (e.g., military training, combat patrols, and exercise), is acceptable. The committee acknowledges the need for further study of protein requirements for extreme, military-specific environmental conditions and whether unique metabolic stressors associated with military service alter protein requirements for aging warfighters.

AB - Bed-load sediment transport is important yet difficult to measure in large, sand-bed rivers. Prior work established in theory and validated in a flume study a method known as integrated section surface difference over time version 2 (ISSDOTv2), which computes bed-load transport using sequential three dimensional (3D) bathymetric profiles. The same work identified a source of systemic error leading to an underprediction of computed transport rates. This paper demonstrates how the systemic error can be removed from ISSDOTv2 calculations to produce a more accurate dune transport value. This is demonstrated by analytic and geometric examples, and with field data from the Missouri River at Kansas City. The results of these analyses indicate that field data do exhibit the systematic error and that it is possible to extrapolate a corrected dune bed-load transport rate from field data obtained at different measurement intervals. Additionally, error bounds on this corrected value can be set. Independent validation of the resulting transport rate was not attempted due to the unreliability of physical measurements for bed-load transport in large sand-bed rivers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - ABSTRACT Regulators are implementing new programs that require manufacturers of products containing certain chemicals of concern to identify, evaluate, and adopt viable, safer alternatives. Such programs raise the difficult question for policymakers and regulated businesses of which alternatives are 'viable' and 'safer.' To address that question, these programs use 'alternatives analysis,' an emerging methodology that integrates issues of human health and environmental effects with technical feasibility and economic impact. Despite the central role that alternatives analysis plays in these programs, the methodology itself is neither well-developed nor tailored to application in regulatory settings. This study uses the case of Pb-based bar solder and its non-Pb-based alternatives to examine the application of 2 multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods to alternatives analysis: multi-attribute utility analysis and outranking. The article develops and evaluates an alternatives analysis methodology and supporting decision-analysis software for use in a regulatory context, using weighting of the relevant decision criteria generated from a stakeholder elicitation process. The analysis produced complete rankings of the alternatives, including identification of the relative contribution to the ranking of each of the highest level decision criteria such as human health impacts, technical feasibility, and economic feasibility. It also examined the effect of variation in data conventions, weighting, and decision frameworks on the outcome. The results indicate that MCDA can play a critical role in emerging prevention-based regulatory programs. Multi-criteria decision analysis methods offer a means for transparent, objective, and rigorous analysis of products and processes, providing regulators and stakeholders with a common baseline understanding of the relative performance of alternatives and the trade-offs they present.

AB - A common approach to re-establishing cottonwood-willow habitat along regulated rivers is through installing dormant, rootless cuttings, yet there is little published information exploring floodplain characteristics that optimize growth of southwestern riparian willows planted in this manner. The goal of this project was to evaluate relationships between growth attributes of Salix exigua and soil texture and soil water availability. Monitoring plots were established in five willow swales planted with dormant S. exigua cuttings along the banks of the Middle Rio Grande in central New Mexico. Data analysis revealed significantly higher aerial cover, height, and stem density for S. exigua plants installed in plots with intermediate levels (15-25%) of fine textured soils distributed through the soil profile. Similar relationships were found in relation to soil water availability. Regression analysis of percent fines and available water at different depth increments provided limited explanation of variability in willow growth attributes at different plots. Findings indicate that S. exigua plants established from cuttings can achieve heights and aerial cover values similar to naturally established willow bars if the floodplain soil profile contains intermediate levels of fine textured soils and the maximum depth to groundwater is within 1.5 m of the ground surface. Where sites are dominated by coarse sand, S. exigua growth may be improved if maximum depth to groundwater is within 1 m of the ground surface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Arctic ecosystem is changing rapidly, yet information on nearshore fish assemblages for the northeastern Chukchi Sea is extremely limited. To address this information gap, we sampled nearshore fish assemblages with a beach seine and a small bottom trawl at six stations in the northeastern Chukchi Sea in August 2007, 2008, and 2009, and in September 2009. Catch and species composition differed by gear type and between sample periods, including the two in 2009. A total of 16 039 fish representing 18 species were captured in 24 beach seine hauls, and 3108 fish representing 24 species were captured in 48 trawl tows. Beach seine catch was dominated by capelin (83%), and trawl catch was dominated by Arctic cod (56%). Species that were good discriminators between gear types were capelin (seine) and slender eelblenny (trawl), and unidentified small sculpins were the most common taxa caught with both gear types. Capelin and Arctic cod captured by either gear type were mostly juveniles (judging by size). Variability among sampling periods in catch and species composition within gear types can likely be attributed to annual variations in environmental conditions, including differences in water temperature (range: 2∘ - 9∘C). The shallow nearshore environment of the northeastern Chukchi Sea provides important habitat for many fish species and is extremely vulnerable to disturbance. Loss of sea ice from global warming may open up formerly inaccessible areas to oil and gas exploration, vessel traffic, and commercial fishing. Thus, long-term monitoring of nearshore fish assemblages in the Alaskan Arctic is necessary for managers to make informed decisions in this fragile environment. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - L'écosystème de l'Arctique change rapidement, mais pourtant, il existe très peu d'information sur les assemblages de poissons du sublittoral du nord-est de la mer des Tchouktches. Afin de combler ce besoin en information, nous avons échantillonné des assemblages de poissons du sublittoral à l'aide d'une senne de plage et d'un petit chalut de fond à six stations du nord-est de la mer des Tchouktches en août 2007, 2008 et 2009, puis en septembre 2009. La composition des prises et des espèces différait en fonction du type d'équipement et des périodes d'échantillonnage, notamment entre les deux périodes de 2009. En tout, 16 039 poissons représentant 18 espèces ont été capturés dans 24 coups de filet de senne de plage, et 3 108 poissons représentant 24 espèces ont été capturés dans 48 traits de chalut. Les prises de senne de plage étaient principalement constituées de capelans (83 %), tandis que la morue polaire (56 %) dominait les prises de chalut. Les espèces qui faisaient une bonne discrimination entre les types d'équipement étaient le capelan (senne) et la lompénie de Fabricius (chalut), et les petits chabots non identifiés étaient les taxons les plus courants à avoir été attrapés avec les deux types d'équipement. Les capelans et les morues polaires capturés par l'un ou l'autre des types d'équipement étaient surtout juvéniles (d'après leur taille). La variabilité de la composition des prises et des espèces entre les périodes d'échantillonnage est vraisemblablement attribuable à la variation annuelle des conditions environnementales, dont les différences de température de l'eau (écart entre 2∘ et 9∘ C). Le milieu sublittoral peu profond du nord-est de la mer des Tchouktches est un habitat important pour de nombreuses espèces de poissons et est extrêmement vulnérable aux perturbations. La perte de glace de mer attribuable au réchauffement planétaire risque d'ouvrir des zones anciennement inaccessibles à l'exploration pétrolière et gazière, à la circulation d'embarcations et à la pêche commerciale. Par conséquent, la surveillance à long terme des assemblages de poissons du sublittoral de la partie alaskienne de l'Arctique s'impose pour que les gestionnaires puissent prendre des décisions éclairées dans cet environnement fragile.

AB - Headwater streams derive a majority of their energy from allochthonous inputs; alter-ation of these inputs may lead to changes in stream communities and ecological func-tion. Common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) is invasive over much of the northern United States and southern Canada, and has the potential to become an ecosystem dominant and alter stream communities. However, while much is known of the effects of buckthorn on terrestrial ecosystems, little is known of its effects on aquatic ecosys-tems. Using leaf collection nets, we estimated that leaf fall to the stream consisted pre-dominantly of green ash (69.0%) and common buckthorn (24.2%). Green ash leaves fell from September through mid-October, reaching its peak in early October, whereas common buckthorn contributed leaves for an additional month until mid-November. We placed leaf packs of common buckthorn and two native species, American elm and green ash, in a headwater stream to determine differences in leaf decomposition rates. Common buckthorn leaves decomposed more rapidly than the native species, with processing coefficients of 6.9 (ash) and 5.3 (elm) times greater. After 21 days of incubation, buckthorn leaf packs had less than half the initial biomass remaining, whereas ash and elm did not reach this point within this 84-day study. These results suggest that buckthorn has the potential to alter stream food webs by changing the tim-ing of leaf fall and the duration of available allochthonous energy sources. Changes to riparian forests are likely to be exacerbated as common buckthorn alters soils to inhibit the growth of other trees and as the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle, adversely affects native ash forests.

AB - Biased sex ratios can have conservation consequences for dioecious plant species with small population sizes because of an increased risk of single sex populations. Biased sex ratios have been observed in two of the three species of Lindera (Lauraceae) in the eastern United States, but have not been documented for Lindera subcoriacea, a rare shrub of the southeastern USA. We inventoried 78 of 118 populations in North Carolina over a 3 year period, documenting the location, community type, and sex, of 299 individuals. In addition, we measured the stem height and diameter for 245 individuals. We examined population persistence relative to historical population size estimates. Average population size was 7.9 individuals and 72 % of visited populations were extant. There was a significant positive correlation between historical estimates of population size and persistence. Lindera subcoriacea consistently had male-biased (58 %) sex ratios across all population sizes and vegetation communities. Males and females had similar stem heights (mean 200.4 vs. 187.8 cm, respectively) and diameters (1.3 vs. 1.2 cm, respectively) across years and were not spatially segregated within populations. It is unclear at what stage biased sex ratios arise in L. subcoriacea, but results suggest that the causes operate across vegetation communities and population sizes. The weak bias exhibited in L. subcoriacea sex ratios has limited implications for the species' conservation except where spatially isolated populations are unisexual. Given the vulnerability of small L. subcoriacea populations to extirpation, they should be high priority targets for management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Supreme Court cases have questioned if jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act extends to water bodies such as streams without year-round flow. Headwater streams are central to this issue because many periodically dry, and because little is known about their influence on navigable waters. An accurate account of the extent and flow permanence of headwater streams is critical to estimating downstream contributions. We compared the extent and permanence of headwater streams from two field surveys with values from databases and maps. The first used data from 29 headwater streams in nine U.S. forests, whereas the second had data from 178 headwater streams in Oregon. Synthetic networks developed from the nine-forest survey indicated that 33 to 93% of the channel lacked year-round flow. Seven of the nine forests were predicted to have >200% more channel length than portrayed in the high-resolution National Hydrography Dataset ( NHD). The NHD and topographic map classifications of permanence agreed with ~50% of the field determinations across ~300 headwater sites. Classification agreement with the field determinations generally increased with increasing resolution. However, the flow classification on soil maps only agreed with ~30% of the field determination despite depicting greater channel extent than other maps. Maps that include streams regardless of permanence and size will aid regulatory decisions and are fundamental to improving water quality monitoring and models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Training Range Environmental Evaluation and Characterization System (TREECS™) computes the fate and transport of munitions constituents deposited on military firing/training ranges. TREECSTMwas developed with two levels of capability, Tiers 1 and 2, where Tier 1 is for conservative screening assessments, and Tier 2 is for more accurate predictions. The models and associated processes for Tier 2 are described. Tier 2 was applied to ranges at Fort A.P. Hill, VA, for initial demonstration purposes. Observed field data were provided after model application and are compared to model-computed results. Although the comparison was not sufficient for model validation, it does demonstrate that the model leads to the same general conclusions that the field data provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The channel analysis and design evaluation tool ( CADET) is a numerical program to determine the optimum dredge depth for the offshore portions of entrance channels. A brief description of the theoretical basis and risk assessment in CADET is presented. Validation comparisons between CADET predictions and field measurements of wave-induced vertical motions at Ambrose Channel, New York, are presented. Prototype ship motions were measured with a differential global positioning system in April 1998 along three 488-m-long reaches. Comparisons were made with six ships, three tankers and three containerships, during inbound and outbound transits. In general, the CADET predictions matched the field measurements reasonably well, especially considering the wave heights were relatively small during the measurement period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Lower Mississippi River protrudes into the Gulf of Mexico, and manmade levees line only the west bank for 55 km of the Lower Plaquemines section. Historically, sustained easterly winds from hurricanes have directed surge across Breton Sound, into the Mississippi River and against its west bank levee, allowing for surge to build and then propagate efficiently upriver and thus increase water levels past New Orleans. This case study applies a new and extensively validated basin- to channel-scale, high-resolution, unstructured-mesh ADvanced CIRCulation model to simulate a suite of historical and hypothetical storms under low to high river discharges. The results show that during hurricanes, (1) total water levels in the lower river south of Pointe à La Hache are only weakly dependent on river flow, and easterly wind-driven storm surge is generated on top of existing ambient strongly flow-dependent river stages, so the surge that propagates upriver reduces with increasing river flow; (2) natural levees and adjacent wetlands on the east and west banks in the Lower Plaquemines capture storm surge in the river, although not as effectively as the manmade levees on the west bank; and (3) the lowering of manmade levees along this Lower Plaquemines river section to their natural state, to allow storm surge to partially pass across the Mississippi River, will decrease storm surge upriver by 1 to 2 m between Pointe à La Hache and New Orleans, independent of river flow.

AB - The risk-based design of a reef breakwater requires the prediction of the temporal variations of the damage and wave transmission coefficient during storms. The cross-shore numerical model is extended to the landward zone of the wave transmission. The extended model is compared with 148 tests for a reef breakwater with a narrow crest at or above the still water level where the narrow crest was lowered by wave action. The model is also compared with an experiment on a wide-crested submerged breakwater in which the crest height increased during 20-h wave action. The damage, crest height, and wave transmission coefficient are predicted reasonably well; however, the damaged profile is not predicted accurately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Implementation of aquifer storage recovery (ASR) for water resource management in Florida is impeded by arsenic mobilization. Arsenic, released by pyrite oxidation during the recharge phase, sometimes results in groundwater concentrations that exceed the 10 µg/L criterion defined in the Safe Drinking Water Act. ASR was proposed as a major storage component for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), in which excess surface water is stored during the wet season, and then distributed during the dry season for ecosystem restoration. To evaluate ASR system performance for CERP goals, three cycle tests were conducted, with extensive water-quality monitoring in the Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) at the Kissimmee River ASR (KRASR) pilot system. During each cycle test, redox evolution from sub-oxic to sulfate-reducing conditions occurs in the UFA storage zone, as indicated by decreasing Fe2+/H2S mass ratios. Arsenic, released by pyrite oxidation during recharge, is sequestered during storage and recovery by co-precipitation with iron sulfide. Mineral saturation indices indicate that amorphous iron oxide (a sorption surface for arsenic) is stable only during oxic and sub-oxic conditions of the recharge phase, but iron sulfide (which co-precipitates arsenic) is stable during the sulfate-reducing conditions of the storage and recovery phases. Resultant arsenic concentrations in recovered water are below the 10 µg/L regulatory criterion during cycle tests 2 and 3. The arsenic sequestration process is appropriate for other ASR systems that recharge treated surface water into a sulfate-reducing aquifer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Although often eagerly anticipated, reunification after deployment poses challenges for families, including adjusting to the parent–soldier's return, re-establishing roles and routines, and the potentially necessary accommodation to combat-related injuries or psychological effects. Fourteen male service members, previously deployed to a combat zone, parent to at least one child under seven years of age, were interviewed about their relationships with their young children. Principles of grounded theory guided data analysis to identify key themes related to parenting young children after deployment. Participants reported significant levels of parenting stress and identified specific challenges, including difficulty reconnecting with children, adapting expectations from military to family life, and coparenting. Fathers acknowledged regret about missing an important period in their child's development and indicated a strong desire to improve their parenting skills. They described a need for support in expressing emotions, nurturing, and managing their tempers. Results affirm the need for support to military families during reintegration and demonstrate that military fathers are receptive to opportunities to engage in parenting interventions. Helping fathers understand their children's behavior in the context of age-typical responses to separation and reunion may help them to renew parent–child relationships and reengage in optimal parenting of their young children.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AB - Introduction: Traumatic brain injury accounts for over 1 million U.S. emergency department visits annually. A significant percentage of patients undergo CT scans to exclude intracranial bleeds. The Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) is designed to rapidly determine whether a concussion has occurred, (0-30 scale, where >25 is considered normal). Although not intended to be used in isolation, results in the normal range are considered an indication of low suspicion of brain injury. This study evaluated the relationship between CT findings of structural injury (CT+) and performance on the SAC. Methods: We performed a prospective observational study on mild head-injured patients presenting to the emergency department who underwent CT scans and had SAC evaluations. Results: We enrolled 368 patients, of which 66 were read by a neuroradiologist as positive (CT+), with an average age of 46.7, and an average Glasgow Coma Scale of 14.85. 38.2% of these CT+ patients had a SAC score >25. There were no significant differences between time of injury and CT scan or SAC for those with high or low SAC scores. Both high and low SAC groups contained similar CT+ abnormalities (e.g., hematomas). Conclusions: These results indicate that a normal SAC score alone does not exclude intracranial injury.

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

AB - Compactness and landscape connectivity are essential properties for effective functioning of conservation reserves. In this article we introduce a linear integer programming model to determine optimal configuration of a conservation reserve with such properties. Connectivity can be defined either as structural (physical) connectivity or functional connectivity; the model developed here addresses both properties. We apply the model to identify the optimal conservation management areas for protection of Gopher Tortoise (GT) in a military installation, Ft. Benning, Georgia, which serves as a safe refuge for this ‘at risk’ species. The recent expansion in the military mission of the installation increases the pressure on scarce GT habitat areas, which requires moving some of the existent populations in those areas to suitably chosen new conservation management areas within the boundaries of the installation. Using the model, we find the most suitable and spatially coherent management areas outside the heavily used training areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Civil Works mission area of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) spans multiple programs including navigation, flood risk management, infrastructure construction and operation, and environmental stewardship–including restoration and regulation of protected waterways. The national scope of USACE activities means that habitat preservation and restoration projects vary in size and type, while often intersecting spatially with projects under other USACE missions. This intersection can create management challenges that must be resolved. Two USACE initiatives, Engineering With Nature and Regional Sediment Management, explore and implement best practices that combine natural processes and restoration needs with management requirements. This article presents four case studies describing initiatives to 1) design, rehabilitate, and manage infrastructure in alignment with natural processes; 2) manage sediments on a regional scale to support the re-use of material removed from navigation channels for coastal and riverine resiliency, and 3) develop landscape-level plans for waterways management to support conservation efforts. The cumulative effect of multiple efforts to restore functionality lost through anthropogenic alterations and long-term geological change is expected to be a more resilient system at the landscape scale. However, challenges remain in quantifying resilience and the benefits provided by ecosystem services that are affected by management actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - The shooting sport of archery started when early man began developing bows, arrows, and spears for protection and as a way to gather food. Much of the early development of archery was based on designing archery equipment for a military application. In addition to using bows and arrows for weapons, they were also used for hunting, leisure activities, and contests. During the 14th century in England, archery practice was mandatory for all able-bodied men. The advent of gunpowder led to the decline of archery as a tool of war and hunting and led to the increased development of firearm activities. Organized firearms shooting began in Europe when the first shooting clubs were formed. Public shooting matches were first seen in Europe around the 16th century and in America in the early 1700s. The rules for shooting sports began to standardize when the National Rifle Association (NRA) was founded in the United States in 1871 and the National Archery Association (NAA) was formed in 1879. This article will provide the reader with tips on how to construct archery ranges as well as rifle and pistol facilities. Further, it will speak to the risk management and safety issues related to these shooting areas. Finally, it will describe common pieces of equipment used in these facilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Traditional animal toxicity tests can be time and resource intensive, thereby limiting the number of chemicals that can be comprehensively tested for potential hazards to humans and/or to the environment. Objective: We compared several types of data to demonstrate how alternative models can be used to inform both human and ecological risk assessment. Methods: We reviewed and compared data derived from high throughput in vitro assays to fish reproductive tests for seven chemicals. We investigated whether human-focused assays can be predictive of chemical hazards in the environment. We examined how conserved pathways enable the use of nonmammalian models, such as fathead minnow, zebrafish, and Xenopus laevis, to understand modes of action and to screen for chemical risks to humans. Results: We examined how dose-dependent responses of zebrafish embryos exposed to flusilazole can be extrapolated, using pathway point of departure data and reverse toxicokinetics, to obtain human oral dose hazard values that are similar to published mammalian chronic toxicity values for the chemical. We also examined how development/safety data for human health can be used to help assess potential risks of pharmaceuticals to nontarget species in the environment. Discussion: Using several examples, we demonstrate that pathway-based analysis of chemical effects provides new opportunities to use alternative models (nonmammalian species, in vitro tests) to support decision making while reducing animal use and associated costs. Conclusions: These analyses and examples demonstrate how alternative models can be used to reduce cost and animal use while being protective of both human and ecological health.

AB - This field demonstration investigated the application of alkaline hydrolysis for full-scale in situ remediation and control of munitions constituents, residues of explosives, and metals in hand grenade range soil. Concentrations of RDX in soil, soil pore water, and surface water runoff were decreased by 75, 75, and 98%, respectively, compared to the control, even though extensive live fire training continued throughout the demonstration. Zinc, the predominant metal contaminant, was reduced by 98% in surface water runoff compared to the untreated control. Although the source zone soil achieved the target pH of following lime application, the soil pore water and surface runoff water remained at , protecting groundwater and surface receiving waters from the potentially distressing high pH water. Hydrated lime application was accomplished in a few hours by using readily available equipment. Treatment cost was less than $2,250 per bay per year (2012) with primary cost variables dictated by site geochemistry, climate, availability of hydrated lime, range operations and maintenance, and necessary application equipment. Hydrated lime has proven itself to be a simple, innovative, and cost-effective technology to prevent munition constituents from migrating to local surface water or groundwater supplies.

AB - This paper discusses the seismic retrofit of Tuttle Creek Dam near Manhattan, Kansas, including investigations, seismic analyses, design, construction, and stabilization techniques used. Original plans called for stabilization of the upstream and downstream slopes and installation of an upstream cutoff wall to reduce underseepage. However, constructability and dam safety issues, along with the results of refined seismic deformation analyses, led to cancellation of the jet grouted upstream slope stabilization and cutoff wall. Downstream slope stabilization was to be accomplished by jet grouting or soil mixing, but ultimately was accomplished using a self-hardening cement-bentonite (C-B) slurry to construct transverse shear walls. A total of 351 transverse shear walls were constructed along the downstream toe by primarily clamshell equipment. Typical shear walls are 13.7 m long, 1.2 m wide, and extend 18.9 m deep or about 6.1 m into the coarse foundation sands. The walls are spaced at 4.3 m on center along the downstream toe for a replacement ratio of about 29%. In addition to the transverse shear walls, the relief well collection ditch along the downstream toe was replaced with a buried collector system to further improve downstream stability and underseepage control.

AB - Artificial membrane-feeding techniques have replaced direct feeding on animals for the maintenance of malaria and arbovirus vectors in many laboratories. Membrane feeding facilitates controlled experimentation of pathogen transmission during mosquito feeding. Sheep blood is commonly used due to its availability and low cost. We evaluated the impact of blood source (human, guinea pig, sheep, and hamster via direct feeding) on feeding rates, adult survival, fecundity, hatching rates, and developmental times for five species of laboratory-colonized mosquitoes (Anopheles dirus, An. cracens, An. minimus, An. sawadwongporni, and Ae. aegypti). We found that feeding rates differ among blood sources within mosquito species. Survival, fecundity, and hatching rates were lower in all Anopheles species and Ae. aegypti after membrane feeding on sheep blood. Survival rates seven days post-feeding on sheep blood were significantly lower (P<0.05) for An. dirus (84.2%), An. minimus (67.2%), An. sawadwongporni (51.5%), and An. cracens (35.5%) relative to other blood sources. An. minimus and An. sawadwongporni laid no eggs by seven days post-feeding with sheep blood, while An. dirus and An. cracens produced significantly fewer numbers of eggs and demonstrated significantly lower hatching rates relative to what was observed with the other blood sources. These findings support the conclusion that sheep blood is not a suitable blood source for laboratory rearing of Anopheles spp. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Bioassays in a wind tunnel showed that a combination of four stimuli releases intense host-seeking and blood-feeding behavioral responses from females of the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, and the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. The stimuli are carbon dioxide, water vapor, warmth, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Mosquitoes responded to this combination with a repertoire of blood-feeding behaviors that included upwind flight, landing, probing, and engorgement. Absence of carbon dioxide, water vapor, or ATP from the combination of stimuli or exposure to temperatures 12° C below or above human-host temperature (38° C) significantly attenuated blood-feeding behavior in both species. Although there is literature documenting the individual importance of each of these stimuli, our work represents the first instance where this combination of stimuli was found sufficient to elicit a complete repertoire of blood-feeding behaviors in these mosquitoes without involvement of any host specific odor. When mosquitoes were exposed to the four stimuli along with N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET), feeding behavior was greatly suppressed. We hypothesize that a possible mode of action for DEET against these mosquitoes involves interference of warmth and/or water vapor receptors. An electrophysiological study designed to determine if DEET adversely affects the function of these receptors would be illuminating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The diversity of mosquito arbovirus vectors was investigated to define regional risk of arbovirus transmission in Kenya. Mosquitoes were sampled between April, 2007 and December, 2010 at thirteen sites across seven administrative provinces and ecological zones. CDC light traps were used to collect mosquitoes while human-landing collection was conducted in five of the sites to target day-feeding Aedes (Stegomyia) species. Over 524,000 mosquitoes were collected and identified into 101 species, 30 of them known vectors of arboviruses endemic to Kenya. Ae. (Neomelaniconion) mcintoshi and Ae. (Aedimorphus) ochraceus were most abundant in Garissa in the arid northeastern province, and Mansonia uniformis and Mn. africana in semi-arid Baringo in the Rift Valley Province. Ae. ochraceus, Mn. africana and Mn. uniformis were also significant in Nyanza Province, while Ae. (Neomelaniconion) circumluteolus predominated in Budalangi, Western Province. Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti was predominant in Rabai in the Coast Province but insignificant in the western and Nyanza sites. Culex pipiens was abundant in Rift Valley and Nyanza Provinces around the lake shores. This study highlights the potential for emergence and re-emergence of arboviral diseases among vulnerable populations. This calls for comprehensive mapping of vector distribution and abundance for planning focused vector control measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Collaborative Modeling for Decision Support integrates collaborative modeling with participatory processes to inform natural resources decisions. Practitioners and advocates claim that the approach will lead to better water management, balancing interests more effectively and reducing the likelihood of costly legal delays. These claims are easy to make, but the benefits will only be realized if the process is conducted effectively. To provide guidance for how to conduct an effective collaborative modeling process, a task committee cosponsored by the Environmental Water Resources Institute ( EWRI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers and by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Institute for Water Resources developed a set of Principles and Best Practices for anyone who might convene or conduct collaborative modeling processes. The guidance is intended for both conflict resolution professionals and modelers, and our goal is to integrate these two fields in a way that will improve water resources planning and decision making. Here, the set of eight principles is presented along with a selection of associated best practices, illustrated by two different case examples. The complete document is available at: http://www.computeraideddisputeresolution.us/bestpractices/. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Participatory planning applied to water resources has sparked significant interest and debate during the last decade. Recognition that models play a significant role in the formulation and implementation of design and management strategies has encouraged the profession to consider how such models can be best implemented. Shared Vision Planning ( SVP) is a disciplined planning approach that combines traditional water resources planning methodologies with innovations such as structured public participation and the use of collaborative modeling, resulting in a more complete understanding and an integrative decision support tool. This study reviews these three basic components of SVP and explains how they are incorporated into a unified planning approach. The successful application of SVP is explored in three studies involving planning challenges: the National Drought Study, the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Study, and the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint/Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin Study. The article concludes by summarizing the advantages and limitations of this planning approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Weather and climate extremes have been varying and changing on many different time scales. In recent decades, heat waves have generally become more frequent across the United States, while cold waves have been decreasing. While this is in keeping with expectations in a warming climate, it turns out that decadal variations in the number of U.S. heat and cold waves do not correlate well with the observed U.S. warming during the last century. Annual peak flow data reveal that river flooding trends on the century scale do not show uniform changes across the country. While flood magnitudes in the Southwest have been decreasing, flood magnitudes in the Northeast and north-central United States have been increasing. Confounding the analysis of trends in river flooding is multiyear and even multidecadal variability likely caused by both large-scale atmospheric circulation changes and basin-scale "memory" in the form of soil moisture. Droughts also have long-term trends as well as multiyear and decadal variability. Instrumental data indicate that the Dust Bowl of the 1930s and the drought in the 1950s were the most significant twentieth-century droughts in the United States, while tree ring data indicate that the megadroughts over the twelfth century exceeded anything in the twentieth century in both spatial extent and duration. The state of knowledge of the factors that cause heat waves, cold waves, floods, and drought to change is fairly good with heat waves being the best understood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An adaptive hydraulics (AdH) model was applied to lower Knik Arm near the Port of Anchorage, Alaska, to assess its ability to model a macrotidal system with complex hydrodynamics, including the formation and evolution of numerous gyres that are prominent at this site. Lower Knik Arm is an ideal system for this model evaluation because of the large tide range (approximately 10 m at Anchorage) and complex geometry of the system, which results in high velocities and the formation of numerous eddies throughout the study area. One eddy of primary importance is the one generated by Cairn Point, which occurs near the Port of Anchorage. Limitations of previous modeling studies and the availability of recent field data enabled this evaluation. The AdH results were compared with field data (water surface elevations, fluxes, and velocities) collected in August of 2002 and 2006, and favorable comparisons obtained for tidal amplification and eddy generation indicate that AdH reasonably reproduces the complex hydrodynamic conditions in lower Knik Arm. Simulations were also performed to investigate the importance of eddy viscosity specification, frictional specification, and bathymetry on the generation/evolution of eddies present in the system. Upon completion of the model validation, simulations were performed with modified Cairn Point configurations to investigate the impact to the eddy generated at the port. These results illustrate the variation in eddy generation through lengthening, lowering/reducing, or raising Cairn Point. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A probabilistic framework is presented for evaluation of hurricane wave and surge risk with particular emphasis on real-time automated estimation for hurricanes approaching landfall. This framework has two fundamental components. The first is the development of a surrogate model for the rapid evaluation of hurricane waves, water levels, and run-up based on a small number of parameters describing each hurricane: hurricane landfall location and heading, central pressure, forward speed, and radius of maximum winds. This surrogate model is developed using a response surface methodology fed by information from hundreds of precomputed, high-resolution Simulating Waves Nearshore ( SWAN) + Advanced Circulation Model for Oceanic, Coastal and Estuarine Waters ( ADCIRC) and One-Dimensional Boussinesq Model ( BOUSS-1D) runs. For a specific set of hurricane parameters (i.e., a specific landfalling hurricane), the surrogate model is able to evaluate the maximum wave height, water level, and run-up during the storm at a cost that is more than seven orders of magnitude less than the high-fidelity models and thus meets time constraints imposed by emergency managers and decision makers. The second component of this framework is a description of the uncertainty in the parameters used to characterize the hurricane through appropriate probability models, which then leads to quantification of hurricane risk in terms of a probabilistic integral. This integral is then efficiently computed using the already established surrogate model by analyzing thousands of different scenarios (based on the aforementioned probabilistic description). This allows the rapid computation of, for example, the storm surge that might be exceeded 10% of the time based on hurricane parameters at 48 h from landfall. Finally, by leveraging the computational simplicity and efficiency of the surrogate model, a simple stand-alone PC-based risk-assessment tool is developed that allows nonexpert end users to take advantage of the full potential of the framework. The proposed framework ultimately facilitates the development of a rapid assessment tool for real-time implementation but requires a considerable upfront computational cost to produce high-fidelity model results. As an illustrative example, implementation of hurricane risk estimation for the Island of Oahu in Hawaii is presented; results demonstrate the versatility of the proposed approach for delivering accurate tools for real-time hurricane risk estimation that have the ability to cross over technology adoption barriers.

AB - ABSTRACT Many high-head dams in Oregon's Willamette River basin were constructed without fish passage facilities for downstream migrants. Instead, fish pass dams via hydroelectric turbines, surface spillways or deep-water regulating outlets. The availability of these routes varies seasonally with dam operations and reservoir depth, which can fluctuate by tens of meters. To assess how dam and reservoir operations affect fish movement timing and survival, we used rotary screw traps below three Willamette basin dams and at two riverine sites above reservoirs. Traps were operated 2950 days over 8 years, and >195 000 fish were collected. Samples above reservoirs were primarily native salmonids ( Oncorhynchus spp.), daces ( Rhinichthys spp.) and sculpins ( Cottus spp.), while those below dams were often dominated by non-native Centrarchidae. Capture rates at riverine sites were highest from late winter to early summer, coincident with juvenile Chinook salmon emigration. Conversely, collection below dams was largely restricted to late fall and winter when reservoirs were drawn down to annual lows and discharge was high. We hypothesize that winter operations facilitated fish access to dam turbines and regulating outlets, whereas spring-summer operations entrapped fish in reservoirs and restricted volitional downstream passage. Total fish mortality was ≤2% at riverine sites and was 36-69% below dams. Estimates were highest for non-native species and juvenile Chinook salmon. Fatal injuries were consistent with traumas related to pressure, shear and contact and there were size-related and morphology-related risk differences. Mitigation opportunities include fish bypass system development, retrofits for existing routes and seasonally appropriate reservoir draw down to allow fish passage.

AB - Coastal flood-risk mapping requires the prediction of wave runup and overtopping of dikes and beaches. The cross-shore numerical model CSHORE is adjusted to predict irregular wave runup on impermeable dikes. The model is compared with 137 wave runup tests and 97 wave overtopping tests. The seaward boundary of the computation is taken at the location where wave setup is negligible. The spectral period and peak period at this boundary location are specified as input. The model predicts the measured cross-shore variation of the spectral significant wave height on the barred and sloping beaches in front of the dikes. The measured 2% and 1% exceedence runup heights are predicted within errors of about 20% for the spectral period used as input to CSHORE. The model predicts the threshold of wave overtopping, but the minor wave overtopping rates can be predicted only within a factor of 10. The model is also compared with 120 tests for wave runup on gentle uniform slopes as well as wave runup data on natural beaches in order to assess the utility of the numerical model for coastal flood-risk mapping on sand beaches.

AB - Estimated number of shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus impacted annually by towboat entrainment in navigation pools of the Upper Mississippi River were compared against estimates of fishery harvest and ambient population densities to evaluate the relevance of entrainment at the population level. Mean number of sturgeon entrained per kilometer of navigation was estimated at 0.02, and mean number entrained annually considering towboat traffic was estimated at 0.38 sturgeon/ha. Losses associated with entrainment were mostly lower than fishery harvest, although differences were not large. The two sources of mortality combined could potentially reduce the mature adult population to a level where it no longer has the reproductive capacity to replenish itself. Thus, through a combination of entrainment and fishing mortality shovelnose sturgeon may be looming near unsustainable population levels. These estimates are preliminary considering the many uncertainties associated with quantifying entrainment and its effects. Additional research is needed not only to derive better estimates, but also to develop options for managing entrainment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - Despite significant media and policy attention to the financial conditions of military and civilian households in American over the past few years, little is known about their relative standing and decision making. Using data from large national surveys, this analysis provides descriptive evidence on key differences for comparable young, low-moderate income and education military and civilian respondents. I find that military members have more types of savings accounts, more problematic credit card behaviors, and equivalent use of alternative financial services. I briefly discuss directions for future research and some policy implications.

AB - African-Americans in the U.S. military encompass at least two distinct identity groups: a racial status associated with lower support for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a military status which tends to be more 'hawkish' in perspective. This study examines the intersection of these two status characteristics utilizing survey data of American military academy cadets, Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) cadets, and civilian students ( n = 5,051). Majorities of military cadets, regardless of race, supported both of these wars more than their civilian counterparts, but African-Americans are significantly less supportive of the wars relative to their peers within each group. African-American cadets support both wars less so than whites and cadets of other races, but African-American cadets supported both wars more than African-American civilians. It appears that racial and military affiliations combine to yield a unique perspective on war, adapting elements of both statuses. These findings support the concept of intersectionality.

AB - The growing threat of an influenza pandemic presents a unique challenge to healthcare workers, emergency responders, and the civilian population. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved respirators to provide protection against infectious airborne viruses in various workplace settings. The filtration efficiency of selected NIOSH-approved particulate N95 and P100 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and filter cartridges was investigated against the viable MS2 virus, a non-pathogenic bacteriophage, aerosolized from a liquid suspension. Tests were performed under two cyclic flow conditions (minute volumes of 85 and 135 L/min) and two constant flow rates (85 and 270 L/min). The mean penetrations of viable MS2 through the N95 and P100 FFRs/cartridges were typically less than 2 and 0.03%, respectively, under all flow conditions. All N95 and P100 FFR and cartridge models assessed in this study, therefore, met or exceeded their respective efficiency ratings of 95 and 99.97% against the viable MS2 test aerosol, even under the very high flow conditions. These NIOSH-approved FFRs and particulate respirators equipped with these cartridges can be anticipated to achieve expected levels of protection (consistent with their assigned protection factor) against airborne viral agents, provided that they are properly selected, fitted, worn, and maintained.

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

AB - A 3-year-old male presented with progressive pruritic red-orange plaques across most of his body with erythema, desquamation, and fissuring of the hands and feet. He was diagnosed with classic juvenile (type III) pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) and treated with oral isotretinoin for 6 months. His skin findings resolved quickly during the treatment period, with residual postinflammatory hypopigmentation resolving within a year. PRP is rare in pediatric patients and standard recommended treatment algorithms for this population are not currently available. Diagnostic and treatment guidelines for PRP are based almost exclusively on case reports or case series, most of which focus on adult patients. The presentation, evaluation, and management of PRP are discussed.

AB - The idea of the preoperative anesthesia clinic as a means of examining and treating the patient so that he will arrive in the operating theater as strong and healthy as possible is well established in practice and literature.However, problems in clinic design and execution often result in high patient waiting times, decreased patient and staff satisfaction, decreased patient capacity, and high clinic costs. Although the details of clinic design, outcomes, and satisfaction have been extensively evaluated at civilian hospitals, we have not found corresponding literature addressing these issues specifically within military preoperative evaluation clinics. We find that changing to an appointment-based (versus walk-in) system and eliminating data collection step redundancies will likely result in lower wait times, higher satisfaction, lower per patient costs, and a more streamlined and resource-efficient structure.

AB - Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an evidence-based model that provides high-quality medical education for common and complex diseases through telementoring and comanagement of patients with primary care clinicians. In a one to many knowledge network, the ECHO model helps to bridge the gap between primary care clinicians and specialists by enhancing the knowledge, skills, confidence, and practice of primary care clinicians in their local communities. As a result, patients in rural and urban underserved areas are able to receive best practice care without long waits or having to travel long distances. The ECHO model has been replicated in 43 university hubs in the United States and five other countries. A new replication tool was developed by the Project ECHO Pain team and U.S. Army Medical Command to ensure a high-fidelity replication of the model. The adoption of the tool led to successful replication of ECHO in the Army Pain initiative. This replication tool has the potential to improve the fidelity of ECHO replication efforts around the world.

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

AB - Unlabelled: The Eagle Tactical Athlete Program (ETAP) was scientifically developed for the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) to counter unintentional musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs).Purpose: To determine if ETAP would reduce unintentional MSIs in a group of 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Soldiers.Methods: ETAP-trained noncommissioned led physical training. 1,720 Soldiers were enrolled (N = 1,136 experimental group [EXP], N = 584 control group [CON]) with injuries tracked before and after initiation of ETAP. The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes were analyzed and described the anatomic locations, anatomic sub-locations, onset, and injury types. McNemar tests compared the proportions of injured subjects within each group.Results: There was a significant reduction in the proportion of Soldiers with preventable MSIs in the EXP (pre: 213/1,136 (18.8%), post: 180/1,136 (15.8%), p = 0.041) but not in the CON. In addition, there was a significant reduction in stress fractures in the EXP (pre: 14/1,136 (1.2%), post: 5/1,136 (0.4%), p = 0.022) but no significant differences in the CON.Conclusion: The current analysis demonstrated that ETAP reduces preventable MSIs in garrison. The capability of ETAP to reduce injuries confirms the vital role of a scientifically designed training program on force readiness and health.

AB - Background: Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder that is characterized by painful vaso-occlusive crises, for which there are few treatment options. Platelets mediate intercellular adhesion and thrombosis during vaso-occlusion in sickle cell anemia, which suggests a role for antiplatelet agents in modifying disease events.Methods: Children and adolescents 2 through 17 years of age with sickle cell anemia were randomly assigned to receive oral prasugrel or placebo for 9 to 24 months. The primary end point was the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis, a composite of painful crisis or acute chest syndrome. The secondary end points were the rate of sickle cell-related pain and the intensity of pain, which were assessed daily with the use of pain diaries.Results: A total of 341 patients underwent randomization at 51 sites in 13 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The rate of vaso-occlusive crisis events per person-year was 2.30 in the prasugrel group and 2.77 in the placebo group (rate ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.66 to 1.05; P=0.12). There were no significant differences between the groups in the secondary end points of diary-reported events. The safety end points, including the frequency of bleeding events requiring medical intervention, of hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic adverse events that occurred while patients were taking prasugrel or placebo, and of discontinuations due to prasugrel or placebo, did not differ significantly between the groups.Conclusions: Among children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia, the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis was not significantly lower among those who received prasugrel than among those who received placebo. There were no significant between-group differences in the safety findings. (Funded by Daiichi Sankyo and Eli Lilly; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01794000.).

AB - This paper introduces the "hybrid foraging" paradigm. In typical visual search tasks, observers search for one instance of one target among distractors. In hybrid search, observers search through visual displays for one instance of any of several types of target held in memory. In foraging search, observers collect multiple instances of a single target type from visual displays. Combining these paradigms, in hybrid foraging tasks observers search visual displays for multiple instances of any of several types of target (as might be the case in searching the kitchen for dinner ingredients or an X-ray for different pathologies). In the present experiment, observers held 8-64 target objects in memory. They viewed displays of 60-105 randomly moving photographs of objects and used the computer mouse to collect multiple targets before choosing to move to the next display. Rather than selecting at random among available targets, observers tended to collect items in runs of one target type. Reaction time (RT) data indicate searching again for the same item is more efficient than searching for any other targets, held in memory. Observers were trying to maximize collection rate. As a result, and consistent with optimal foraging theory, they tended to leave 25-33% of targets uncollected when moving to the next screen/patch. The pattern of RTs shows that while observers were collecting a target item, they had already begun searching memory and the visual display for additional targets, making the hybrid foraging task a useful way to investigate the interaction of visual and memory search.

AB - Adequate fluid intake can be dually defined as a volume of fluid (from water, beverages, and food) sufficient to replace water losses and provide for solute excretion. A wide range of fluid intakes are compatible with euhydration, whereby total body water varies narrowly from day to day by 600 to 900 mL (<1% body mass). One measure of fluid intake adequacy involves enough fluid to prevent meaningful body water deficits outside this euhydration range (i.e., dehydration). Another measure of fluid intake adequacy involves enough fluid to balance the renal solute load, which can vary widely inside the euhydration range. The subtle but important distinction between the 2 types of adequacy may explain some of the ambiguity surrounding the efficacy of hydration status markers. Both perspectives of fluid intake adequacy are discussed in detail and a simple tool is reviewed that may help healthy, active, low-risk populations answer the question, “Am I drinking enough?” Key Teaching Points • Adequate fluid intake can be dually defined as a volume of fluid (from water, beverages, and food) sufficient to replace water losses and provide for solute excretion. • Fluid needs can differ greatly among individuals due to variation in the factors that influence both water loss and solute balance; thus, adequacy is consistent with a wide range of fluid intakes and is better gauged using hydration assessment methods. • Adequacy of fluid intake for replacing meaningful water losses (dehydration) can be assessed simply, inexpensively, and with reasonable fidelity among healthy, active, low-risk individuals. • Adequacy of fluid intake for solute excretion per se can also be assessed among individuals but is more difficult to define and less practical to measure.

AB - The purpose of this study was to assess inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability of the 2-minute, 90° push-up test as utilized in the Army Physical Fitness Test. Analysis of rater assessment reliability included both total score agreement and agreement across individual push-up repetitions. This study utilized 8 Raters who assessed 15 different videotaped push-up performances over 4 iterations separated by a minimum of 1 week. The 15 push-up participants were videotaped during the semiannual Army Physical Fitness Test. Each Rater randomly viewed the 15 push-up and verbally responded with a "yes" or "no" to each push-up repetition. The data generated were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation as well as the kappa, modified kappa and the intra-class correlation coefficient (3,1). An attribute agreement analysis was conducted to determine the percent of inter-rater and intra-rater agreement across individual push-ups.The results indicated that Raters varied a great deal in assessing push-ups. Over the 4 trials of 15 participants, the overall scores of the Raters varied between 3.0 and 35.7 push-ups. Post hoc comparisons found that there was significant increase in the grand mean of push-ups from trials 1-3 to trial 4 (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant difference among raters over the 4 trials (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation coefficients for inter-rater and intra-rater reliability identified inter-rater reliability coefficients were between 0.10 and 0.97. Intra-rater coefficients were between 0.48 and 0.99. Intra-rater agreement for individual push-up repetitions ranged from 41.8% to 84.8%. The results indicated that the raters failed to assess the same push-up repetition with the same score (below 70% agreement) as well as failed to agree when viewed between raters (29%). Interestingly, as previously mentioned, scores on trial 4 increased significantly which might have been caused by rater drift or that the Raters did not maintain the push-up standard over the trials. It does appear that the final push-up scores received by each participant was a close approximation of actual performance (within 65%) but when assessing physical performance for retention in the Army, a more reliable test might be considered.

AB - The Women in Combat Symposium was held at the Defense Health Headquarters April 29 to May 1, 2014, cohosted by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs and the Consortium for Health and Military Performance. The conference was a call to renew and extend research investment and policy commitment to recognize operational scenarios, requirements, health priorities, and combat-related injury exposures uniquely relevant to the performance and well-being of female Service members. Symposium participants worked in groups to identify knowledge and capability gaps critical to the successful integration, health, and performance of female Service members in combat roles and to develop recommendations for researchers and policy makers to address gaps in three specific areas of concern: Leadership and Peer Behavior, Operational Performance, and Health and Well-Being. Consensus findings are summarized as 20 research gaps and accompanying recommendations. Each represents an opportunity to advance health and performance outcomes and to leverage female Service members' strengths and capacities to the general benefit of all Service members and their families.

AB - This article summarizes presentations from a 2014 United States Department of Defense (DoD) Health Affairs Women in Combat symposium addressing physiological, musculoskeletal injury, and optimized physical training considerations from the operational physical performance section. The symposium was held to provide a state-of-the-science meeting on the U.S. DoD's rescinding of the ground combat exclusion policy opening up combat-centric occupations to women. Physiological, metabolic, body composition, bone density, cardiorespiratory fitness, and thermoregulation differences between men and women were briefly reviewed. Injury epidemiological data are presented within military training and operational environments demonstrating women to be at a higher risk for musculoskeletal injuries than men. Physical training considerations for improved muscle strength and power, occupational task performance, load carriage were also reviewed. Particular focus of this article was given to translating physiological and epidemiological findings from the literature on these topics toward actionable guidance and policy recommendations for military leaders responsible for military physical training doctrine: (1) inclusion of resistance training with special emphasis on strength and power development (i.e., activation of high-threshold motor units and recruitment of type II high-force muscle fibers), upper-body strength development, and heavy load carriage, (2) moving away from "field expediency" as the major criteria for determining military physical training policy and training implementation, (3) improvement of load carriage ability with emphasis placed on specific load carriage task performance, combined with both resistance and endurance training, and (4) providing greater equipment resources, coaching assets, and increased training time dedicated to physical readiness training.

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

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

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

AB - Veterans of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield - the 1991 Gulf War (GW) - are a unique population who returned from theater with multiple health complaints and disorders. Studies in the U.S. and elsewhere have consistently concluded that approximately 25-32% of this population suffers from a disorder characterized by symptoms that vary somewhat among individuals and include fatigue, headaches, cognitive dysfunction, musculoskeletal pain, and respiratory, gastrointestinal and dermatologic complaints. Gulf War illness (GWI) is the term used to describe this disorder. In addition, brain cancer occurs at increased rates in subgroups of GW veterans, as do neuropsychological and brain imaging abnormalities. Chemical exposures have become the focus of etiologic GWI research because nervous system symptoms are prominent and many neurotoxicants were present in theater, including organophosphates (OPs), carbamates, and other pesticides; sarin/cyclosarin nerve agents, and pyridostigmine bromide (PB) medications used as prophylaxis against chemical warfare attacks. Psychiatric etiologies have been ruled out. This paper reviews the recent literature on the health of 1991 GW veterans, focusing particularly on the central nervous system and on effects of toxicant exposures. In addition, it emphasizes research published since 2008, following on an exhaustive review that was published in that year that summarizes the prior literature (RACGWI, 2008). We conclude that exposure to pesticides and/or to PB are causally associated with GWI and the neurological dysfunction in GW veterans. Exposure to sarin and cyclosarin and to oil well fire emissions are also associated with neurologically based health effects, though their contribution to development of the disorder known as GWI is less clear. Gene-environment interactions are likely to have contributed to development of GWI in deployed veterans. The health consequences of chemical exposures in the GW and other conflicts have been called "toxic wounds" by veterans. This type of injury requires further study and concentrated treatment research efforts that may also benefit other occupational groups with similar exposure-related illnesses.

AB - Fifteen military personnel performed 30-cm drop landings to quantify how body borne load (light, ∼6 kg, medium, ∼20 kg, and heavy, ∼40 kg) impacts lower limb kinematics and knee joint energy absorption during landing, and determine whether greater lower limb flexion increases energy absorption while landing with load. Participants decreased peak hip (P = 0.002), and knee flexion (P = 0.007) posture, but did not increase hip (P = 0.796), knee (P = 0.427) or ankle (P = 0.161) energy absorption, despite exhibiting greater peak hip (P = 0.003) and knee (P = 0.001) flexion, and ankle (P = 0.003) dorsiflexion angular impulse when landing with additional load. Yet, when landing with the light and medium loads, greater hip (R(2) = 0.500, P = 0.003 and R(2) = 0.314, P = 0.030) and knee (R(2) = 0.431, P = 0.008 and R(2) = 0.342, P = 0.022) flexion posture predicted larger knee joint energy absorption. Thus, military training that promotes hip and knee flexion, and subsequently greater energy absorption during landing, may potentially reduce risk of musculoskeletal injury and optimize soldier performance.

AB - The mission of the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) is to provide medical and healthcare delivery for the U.S. Army. Given the large number of medical specialties in the AMEDD, determining the appropriate number of hires and promotions for each medical specialty is a complex task. The AMEDD Personnel Proponency Directorate (APPD) previously used a manual approach to project the number of hires, promotions, and personnel inventory for each medical specialty across the AMEDD to support a 30-year life cycle. As a means of decision support to APPD, we proffer the objective force model (OFM) to optimize AMEDD workforce planning. We also employ a discrete-event simulation model to verify and validate the results. In this paper, we describe the OFM applied to the Medical Specialist Corps, one of the six officer corps in the AMEDD. The OFM permits better transparency of personnel for senior AMEDD decision makers, whereas effectively projecting the optimal number of officers to meet the demands of the current workforce structure. The OFM provides tremendous value to APPD in terms of time, requiring only seconds to solve rather than months; this enables APPD to conduct quick what-if analyses for decision support, which was impossible to do manually.

AB - The unique or enhanced properties of manufactured nanomaterials (MNs) suggest that their use in nanoenabled products will continue to increase. This will result in increased potential for human and environmental exposure to MNs during manufacturing, use, and disposal of nanoenabled products. Scientifically based risk assessment for MNs necessitates the development of reproducible, standardized hazard testing methods such as those provided by the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Currently, there is no comprehensive guidance on how best to address testing issues specific to MN particulate, fibrous, or colloidal properties. This paper summarizes the findings from an expert workshop convened to develop a guidance document that addresses the difficulties encountered when testing MNs using OECD aquatic and sediment test guidelines. Critical components were identified by workshop participants that require specific guidance for MN testing: preparation of dispersions, dose metrics, the importance and challenges associated with maintaining and monitoring exposure levels, and the need for reliable methods to quantify MNs in complex media. To facilitate a scientific advance in the consistency of nanoecotoxicology test results, we identify and discuss critical considerations where expert consensus recommendations were and were not achieved and provide specific research recommendations to resolve issues for which consensus was not reached. This process will enable the development of prescriptive testing guidance for MNs. Critically, we highlight the need to quantify and properly interpret and express exposure during the bioassays used to determine hazard values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Lifetime exposure to high concentrations of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] in drinking water results in intestinal damage and an increase in duodenal tumors in B6C3F1 mice. To assess whether these tumors could be the result of a direct mutagenic or genotoxic mode of action, we conducted a GLP-compliant 7-day drinking water study to assess crypt health along the entire length of the duodenum. Mice were exposed to water (vehicle control), 1.4, 21, or 180 ppm Cr(VI) via drinking water for 7 consecutive days. Crypt enterocytes in Swiss roll sections were scored as normal, mitotic, apoptotic, karyorrhectic, or as having micronuclei. A single oral gavage of 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide served as a positive control for micronucleus induction. Exposure to 21 and 180 ppm Cr(VI) significantly increased the number of crypt enterocytes. Micronuclei and γ-H2AX immunostaining were not elevated in the crypts of Cr(VI)-treated mice. In contrast, treatment with cyclophosphamide significantly increased numbers of crypt micronuclei and qualitatively increased γ-H2AX immunostaining. Synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence (XRF) microscopy revealed the presence of strong Cr fluorescence in duodenal villi, but negligible Cr fluorescence in the crypt compartment. Together, these data indicate that Cr(VI) does not adversely effect the crypt compartment where intestinal stem cells reside, and provide additional evidence that the mode of action for Cr(VI)-induced intestinal cancer in B6C3F1 mice involves chronic villous wounding resulting in compensatory crypt enterocyte hyperplasia.

AB - Bonner Sphere Spectrometer response functions were computed using MCNP6 and compared to response functions calculated by Mares and Schraube (1994) using MCNP4. The simulated environment exposed a LiI(Eu) scintillator crystal to neutrons of discrete energy levels from thermal through 25 MeV, with energy resolution identical to that documented by Mares and Schraube. The shapes of the response functions were found to be in excellent agreement with previous data, but the MCNP6-calculated functions differed consistently from the Mares and Schraube data by a factor of two, which is possibly due to ambiguity within their published methodology. Regardless, a comparison of the response functions calculated from MCNP6 and MCNP4 were assessed as > 99\% significant using a chi-squared test with 25 degrees of freedom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article represents the first report by an ASCE Task Committee "Infrastructure Impacts of Landscape-driven Weather Change" under the ASCE Watershed Management Technical Committee and the ASCE Hydroclimate Technical Committee. In this first of a series of reports, it argues for explicitly considering the well-established feedbacks triggered by infrastructure systems to the land-atmosphere system through landscape changes. A definition for Infrastructure Resilience (IR) at the intersection of extreme weather and climate is also proposed for the engineering community. By providing a broader range of views and issues than what is currently in the front view of engineering practice, more robust approaches can be achieved by the engineering community by affording a greater number of scenarios in its decision making related to infrastructure design, operations and management. Although the article does not strive to seek consensus on any particular view or recommend a particular design/operations strategy for improving resilience, the issues requiring further discussions are addressed. For example, it is not entirely clear at this stage how best to impact engineering practice directly through the research that appears on land-atmosphere feedbacks triggered by infrastructure systems. Some examples related to adjusting design metrics as wholly new (atmospheric model-based) or modified current practices have appeared in recent literature. Performing a survey of actual water managers in the various water infrastructure units (such as U.S. Army Corps of Engineers district offices) would be beneficial for the engineering community. Moving forward, a key focus for the engineering community should be to understand the predictive uncertainty of changes to extreme weather and climate through integrated forcings of landscape change and planetary warming, and the implications of this uncertainty on infrastructure design and operations.

AB - Evaluating fish behavior and migration in response to environmental changes is a fundamental component of fisheries research and recovery of freshwater ecosystems. While spatial distribution and behavior of fishes has been well studied around hydropower facilities, little research has been conducted at a mid-reach location between two dams. The Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) cabled receiver system was developed and employed as a reference sensor network for detecting and tracking juvenile salmon in the Columbia River Basin. To supplement acquisition of detection and three-dimensional (3-D) tracking data to estimate survival and fish behavior in the forebays of Little Goose and Lower Monumental dams on the Snake River in eastern Washington State, a mid-reach location was needed to investigate the spatial distribution of migrating juvenile salmon in open-water conditions between the two dams. Lyons Ferry Bridge on State Route 261 at the confluence of the Snake and Palouse Rivers was chosen as the mid-reach location. A JSATS-cabled receiver system configuration was successfully designed and deployed from the bridge's pier structure. Theoretical analysis confirmed the functionality and precision of the deployment design. Validation tests demonstrated sub-meter accuracy of 3-D tracking up to a horizontal distance of 50 m upstream and downstream from the Lyons Ferry Bridge piers. Detection and tracking probabilities of the LFB cabled array were estimated to be 99.98% from field application. This research provided a detailed description of acoustic telemetry system deployment and 3-D tracking as guidance for better understanding of fish migration behavior as they pass through dams and continue downstream through the river between dams.

AB - Vehicles connected to electric systems are considered "plug-in" vehicles. They can be an integral part of a microgrid. Ground vehicles have become more electrified over time, providing electrical power for the propulsion system (hybrid) and a complex suite of auxiliary power systems, enhancing their use in microgrids. Optimizing the microgrid system for performance and reliability considering many external loads and sources is a challenging problem. This is especially true when the plug-in vehicles may enter and leave the microgrid randomly becoming either sources or loads. The microgrid is a repairable system. Recent work has shown that multiple metrics are needed to fully account for the performance of repairable systems under uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a decision-based framework to design and maintain repairable systems for optimal performance and reliability using a set of metrics such as minimum failure free period (MFFP), number of failures in planning horizon, and cost. Optimal tradeoffs among a minimal set of metrics (MSOM) can be used in the design and maintenance of these systems. The optimal solution includes the initial design, the system maintenance throughout the planning horizon, and the protocol to operate the system. Critical remote military installations with plug-in vehicles connected to the microgrids require careful consideration of cost and repair strategies because of logistical challenges in performing repairs and supplying necessary spare parts in unsafe locations. We show how a MSOM helps to solve the complex optimization problem of finding the best microgrid power management strategy considering performance, reliability, and cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The U.S. Department of Defense vaccinates personnel deployed to high-risk areas with the vaccinia virus (VACV)-based smallpox vaccine. Autoinoculations and secondary and tertiary transmissions due to VACV shedding from the vaccination site continue to occur despite education of vaccinees on the risks of such infections. The objectives of this study were to investigate, in naïve smallpox vaccinees, (a) whether the vaccination site can remain contagious after the scab separates and (b) whether the application of povidone iodine ointment (PIO) to the vaccination site inactivates VACV without affecting the immune response. These objectives were tested in 60 individuals scheduled to receive smallpox vaccine. Thirty individuals (control) did not receive PIO; 30 subjects (treatment) received PIO starting on post-vaccination day 7. Counter to current dogma, this study showed that VACV continues to shed from the vaccination site after the scab separates. Overall viral shedding levels in the PIO group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( p = 0.0045), and PIO significantly reduced the duration of viral shedding (median duration 14.5 days and 21 days in the PIO and control groups, respectively; p = 0.0444). At least 10% of control subjects continued to shed VACV at day 28, and 3.4% continued to shed the virus at day 42. PIO reduced the proportion of subjects shedding virus from the vaccination site from day 8 until days 21–23 compared with control subjects. Groups did not differ significantly in the proportion of subjects mounting an immune response, as measured by neutralizing antibodies, IgM, IgG, and interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunospot assay. When applied to the vaccination site starting on day 7, PIO reduced viral shedding without altering the immune response. The use of PIO in addition to a semipermeable dressing may reduce the rates of autoinoculation and contact transmission originating from the vaccination site in smallpox-vaccinated individuals.

AB - Using the entropy theory, this paper derives an instantaneous unit sediment graph (IUSG or USG) to determine sediment discharge and the relation between sediment yield and runoff volume. The derivation of IUSG requires an expression of the effective sediment erosion intensity whose relation with rainfall is revisited. The entropy theory provides an efficient way to estimate the parameters involved in the derivations. Sediment discharge is also computed using the instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH), which can also be derived using the entropy theory. This method works as well as the IUSG method, especially when the peak sediment discharge and peak runoff occur at the same time. The entropy theory yields the probability distribution of sediment yield and of sediment discharge, which can then be used to estimate uncertainty in sediment yield prediction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We present an immersed structure approach for modeling the interaction between surface flows and vegetation. Fluid flow and rigid and flexible vegetative obstacles are coupled through a local drag relation that conserves momentum. In the presented method, separate meshes are used for the fluid domain and vegetative obstacles. Taking techniques from immersed boundary finite element methods, the effects of the fluid on the vegetative structures and vice versa are calculated using integral transforms. Using a simple elastic structure model we incorporate bending and moving vegetative obstacles. We model flexible vegetation as thin, elastic, inextensible cantilever beams. Using the immersed structure approach, a fully coupled fluid-vegetation interaction model is developed assuming dynamic fluid flow and quasi-static bending. This relatively computationally inexpensive model allows for thousands of vegetative obstacles to be included in a simulation without requiring an extremely refined fluid mesh. The method is validated with comparisons to mean velocity profiles and bent vegetation heights from experiments that are reproduced computationally. We test the method on several channel flow setups. We calculate the bulk drag coefficient in these flow scenarios and analyze their trends with changing model parameters including stem population density and flow Reynolds number. Bulk drag models are the primary method of incorporating small-scale drag from individual plants into a value that can be used in larger-scale models. Upscaled bulk drag quantities from this method may be utilized in larger-scale simulations of flow through vegetation regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We have developed an alternative to the one-dimensional partial differential equation (PDE) attributed to Richards (1931) that describes unsaturated porous media flow in homogeneous soil layers. Our solution is a set of three ordinary differential equations (ODEs) derived from unsaturated flux and mass conservation principles. We used a hodograph transformation, the Method of Lines, and a finite water-content discretization to produce ODEs that accurately simulate infiltration, falling slugs, and groundwater table dynamic effects on vadose zone fluxes. This formulation, which we refer to as 'finite water-content', simulates sharp fronts and is guaranteed to conserve mass using a finite-volume solution. Our ODE solution method is explicitly integrable, does not require iterations and therefore has no convergence limits and is computationally efficient. The method accepts boundary fluxes including arbitrary precipitation, bare soil evaporation, and evapotranspiration. The method can simulate heterogeneous soils using layers. Results are presented in terms of fluxes and water content profiles. Comparing our method against analytical solutions, laboratory data, and the Hydrus-1D solver, we find that predictive performance of our finite water-content ODE method is comparable to or in some cases exceeds that of the solution of Richards' equation, with or without a shallow water table. The presented ODE method is transformative in that it offers accuracy comparable to the Richards (1931) PDE numerical solution, without the numerical complexity, in a form that is robust, continuous, and suitable for use in large watershed and land-atmosphere simulation models, including regional-scale models of coupled climate and hydrology.

AB - The single most important factor affecting the longevity of US dams is sedimentation, reducing and perhaps eliminating the reservoir capacity for future sediment storage and flood wave attenuation. A better understanding of the sedimentation rates and sediment dynamics is required for a better management of these dams. Towards this, we collected and analyzed 7 sediment cores from Union Lake for excess 210Pb and 137Cs to determine the sediment accumulation rates (210Pbxs-based: 0.12 to 0.28 g cm-2 y-1 ; peak 137Cs-based: 0.13 to 0.29 g cm-2 y -1 ). These average sediment accumulation rates obtained using radionuclides are compared with three other methods: i) bathymetry-based, from the cumulative mass depth of the core and age of the impoundment (0.09 to 0.26 g cm-2 y-1 ); ii) sediment-yield curve obtained for 61 other watersheds (1.2 g cm-2 y-1 ): and iii) gage data of sediment discharge (0.21 g cm -2 y-1 ). Such a comparison provides insight on refining the sediment-yield curve-based sediment loading in the impoundment. Vertical profiles of 137Cs provide not only insight on sediment mixing (based on a novel method by analyzing the Gaussian-like curve), but also the effectiveness of vibra-coring method in retrieving the full length of the soft sediment deposited since the construction of the dam. The present investigation can serve as a model study for application to other dams in the Great Lakes region and has implications to larges lakes in the Great Lakes catchment for the prediction of sediment accumulation rates using a variety of methods.

AB - Natural resource agencies have established surveillance programs which use environmental DNA (eDNA) for the early detection of bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix before they establish populations within the Great Lakes. This molecular monitoring technique must be highly accurate and precise for confident interpretation and also efficient, both in detection threshold and cost. Therefore, we compared two DNA extraction techniques and compared a new quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay with the conventional PCR (cPCR) assay used by monitoring programs. Both the qPCR and cPCR assays were able to amplify the DNA of silver carp present in environmental samples taken from locations where mixed populations of bigheaded carps existed. However, the qPCR assay had substantially fewer PCR positive samples which were subsequently determined not to contain DNA of bigheaded carps than the cPCR assay. Additionally, the qPCR assay was able to amplify the DNA of bigheaded carps even in the presence of inhibitors that blocked amplification with cPCR. Also, the selection of an appropriate DNA extraction method can significantly alter the efficiency of eDNA surveillance programs by lowering detection limits and by decreasing costs associated with sample processing. The results reported herein are presently being incorporated into eDNA surveillance programs to decrease the costs, increase DNA yield and increase the confidence that assays are amplifying the target DNA. These results are critical to enhancing our ability to accurately and confidently interpret the results reported from monitoring programs using eDNA for early detection of invasive species.

AB - The North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NC WAM) was developed from 2003 to 2007 by a team of federal and state agencies to rapidly assess the level of wetland function. NC WAM is a field method which is science-based, reproducible, rapid, and observational in nature used to determine the level of wetland function relative to reference for each of 16 North Carolina general wetland types. Three major functions (Hydrology, Water Quality, and Habitat) were recognized along with 10 sub-functions. Sub-functions and functions are evaluated using 22 field metrics on a field assessment form. Data are entered into a computer program to generate High, Medium, and Low ratings for each sub-function, function, and the overall assessment area based on an iterative Boolean logic process using 71 unique combinations. The method was field tested across the state at more than 280 sites of varying wetland quality. Examples are presented for the use of NC WAM for compensatory mitigation notably to calculate functional uplift from wetland enhancement. Calibration and verification analyses to date show that the results of the method are significantly correlated with long-term wetland monitoring data and NC WAM has been verified for one wetland type (headwater forest) using these data.Environmental Practice 17: 145–155 (2015) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Two small molecular weight inhibitors, compounds CB7969312 and CB7967495, that displayed inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A in a previous study, were evaluated for inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin serotypes B, C, E, and F. The small molecular weight inhibitors were assessed by molecular modeling, UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay; and an ex vivo assay, the mouse phrenic nerve – hemidiaphragm assay (MPNHDA). While both compounds were inhibitors of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) serotypes B, C, and F in the MPNHDA, compound CB7969312 was effective at lower molar concentrations than compound CB7967495. However, compound CB7967495 was significantly more effective at preventing BoNTE intoxication than compound CB7969312. In the UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay, CB7969312 was also more effective against LcC. Both compounds inhibited BoNTE, but not BoNTF, LcE, or LcF in the UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay. Molecular modeling studies predicted that both compounds would be effective inhibitors of BoNTs B, C, E, and F. But CB7967495 was predicted to be a more effective inhibitor of the four serotypes (B, C, E, and F) than CB7969312. This is the first report of a small molecular weight compound that inhibits serotypes B, C, E, and F in the ex vivo assay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Nutrient germination of spores of Bacillus species occurs through germinant receptors (GRs) in spores' inner membrane (IM) in a process stimulated by sublethal heat activation. Bacillus subtilis spores maximum germination rates via different GRs required different 75°C heat activation times: 15 min for L-valine germination via the GerA GR and 4 h for germination with the L-asparagine- glucose-fructose-K+ mixture via the GerB and GerK GRs, with GerK requiring the most heat activation. In some cases, optimal heat activation decreased nutrient concentrations for half-maximal germination rates. Germination of spores via various GRs by high pressure (HP) of 150 MPa exhibited heat activation requirements similar to those of nutrient germination, and the loss of the GerD protein, required for optimal GR function, did not eliminate heat activation requirements for maximal germination rates. These results are consistent with heat activation acting primarily on GRs. However, (i) heat activation had no effects on GR or GerD protein conformation, as probed by biotinylation by an external reagent; (ii) spores prepared at low and high temperatures that affect spores' IM properties exhibited large differences in heat activation requirements for nutrient germination; and (iii) spore germination by 550 MPa of HP was also affected by heat activation, but the effects were relatively GR independent. The last results are consistent with heat activation affecting spores' IM and only indirectly affecting GRs. The 150- and 550-MPa HP germinations of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens spores, a potential surrogate for Clostridium botulinum spores in HP treatments of foods, were also stimulated by heat activation.

AB - The ten Berge model (or “toxic load” model) is often used to estimate the acute toxicity for varying combinations of inhaled concentration and duration. Expressed as C n × t = toxic load (TL), TLs are assumed constant for various combinations of concentration ( C ) and time ( t ). Experimental data in a recent acute inhalation study of rats exposed to time-varying concentrations of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) supported the validity of the toxic load model except under very brief, discontinuous, high concentration exposures. In the present investigation, experiments were conducted to extend the evaluation of the applicable domain of the model for acute lethality of HCN in the rat (cumulative exposure range of 2900–11,000 ppm min). The lethality of HCN over very short (<5 min) durations of high concentrations did not conform to the toxic load model. A value of n = 1.57 was determined for uninterrupted exposures ⩾5 min. For 30-min exposures, the presence or absence of a gap between two exposure pulses of different concentrations, the relative duration, relative height, and the ordering of the pulses (low then high, vs. high then low) did not appear to have a meaningful impact on the toxic load required for median lethality.

AB - Listeriosis, a disease contracted via the consumption of foods contaminated with pathogenic Listeria species, can produce severe symptoms and high mortality in susceptible people and animals. The development of molecular methods and immuno-based techniques for detection of pathogenic Listeria in foods has been challenging due to the presence of assay inhibiting food components. In this study, we utilize a macrophage cell culture system for the isolation and enrichment of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria ivanovii from infant formula and leafy green vegetables for subsequent identification using the Luminex xMAP technique. Macrophage monolayers were exposed to infant formula, lettuce and celery contaminated with L. monocytogenes or L. ivanovii . Magnetic microspheres conjugated to Listeria specific antibody were used to capture Listeria from infected macrophages and then analyzed using the Bio-Plex 200 analyzer. As few as 10 CFU/mL or g of L. monocytogenes was detected in all foods tested. The detection limit for L. ivanovii was 10 CFU/mL in infant formula and 100 CFU/g in leafy greens. Microsphere bound Listeria obtained from infected macrophage lysates could also be isolated on selective media for subsequent confirmatory identification. This method presumptively identifies L. monocytogenes and L. ivanovii from infant formula, lettuce and celery in less than 28 h with confirmatory identifications completed in less than 48 h.

AB - Tularemia is a zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis , which is transmitted to humans most commonly by contact with infected animals, tick bites, or inhalation of aerosolized bacteria. F. tularensis is highly infectious via the aerosol route; inhalation of as few as 10–50 organisms can cause pneumonic tularemia. Left untreated, the pneumonic form has more than >30% case-fatality rate but with early antibiotic intervention can be reduced to 3%. This study compared tularemia disease progression across three species of nonhuman primates [African green monkey (AGM), cynomolgus macaque (CM), and rhesus macaque (RM)] following aerosolized F. tularensis Schu S4 exposure. Groups of the animals exposed to various challenge doses were observed for clinical signs of infection and blood samples were analyzed to characterize the disease pathogenesis. Whereas the AGMs and CMs succumbed to disease following challenge doses of 40 and 32 colony forming units (CFU), respectively, the RM lethal dose was 276,667 CFU. Following all challenge doses that caused disease, the NHPs experienced weight loss, bacteremia, fever as early as 4 days post exposure, and tissue burden. Necrotizing-to-pyogranulomatous lesions were observed most commonly in the lung, lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. Overall, the CM model consistently manifested pathological responses similar to those resulting from inhalation of F. tularensis in humans and thereby most closely emulates human tularemia disease. The RM model displayed a higher tolerance to infection and survived exposures of up to 15,593 CFU of aerosolized F. tularensis . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

AB - Measurements of acoustic pulse propagation for a 30-m path were conducted in an open field and in seven different forest stands in the northeastern United States consisting of deciduous, evergreen, or mixed tree species. The waveforms recorded in forest generally show the pulse elongation characteristic of propagation over a highly porous ground surface, with high frequency scattered arrivals superimposed on the basic waveform shape. Waveform analysis conducted to determine ground properties resulted in acoustically determined layer thicknesses of 4-8 cm in summer, within 2 cm of the directly measured thickness of the litter layers. In winter the acoustic thicknesses correlated with the site-specific snow cover depths. Effective flow resistivity values of 50-88 kN s m-4 were derived for the forest sites in summer, while lower values typical for snow were found in winter. Reverberation times (T60) were typically around 2s, but two stands (deciduous and pruned spruce planted on a square grid) had lower values of about 1.2s. One site with a very rough ground surface had very low summer flow resistivity value and also had the longest reverberation time of about 3s. These measurements can provide parameters useful for theoretical predictions of acoustic propagation within forests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Propagation of acoustic signals above an impedance ground in a refractive, turbulent atmosphere with spatial-temporal fluctuations in temperature and wind velocity is considered. Starting from a parabolic equation, and using the Markov approximation and a locally frozen turbulence hypothesis, closed-form equations for the spatial-temporal statistical moments of arbitrary order of the sound-pressure field are derived. The general theory provides a basis for analysis of many statistical characteristics of broadband and narrowband acoustic signals for different geometries of propagation: line-of-sight propagation, multipath propagation in a refractive atmosphere above an impedance ground, and sound scattering into a refractive shadow zone. As an example of application of this theory, the spatial-temporal coherence of narrowband acoustic signals for line-of-sight propagation is calculated and analyzed. The coherence time of acoustic signals is studied numerically for meteorological conditions ranging from cloudy to sunny conditions, and with light, moderate, and strong wind. The results obtained are compared with available experimental data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - Extremity injuries comprise the majority of battlefield injuries and contribute the most to long-term disability of servicemembers. The purpose of this study was to better define the contribution of muscle deficits and volumetric muscle loss (VML) to the designation of long-term disability in order to better understand their effect on outcomes for limb-salvage patients. Medically retired servicemembers who sustained a combat-related type III open tibia fracture (Orthopedic cohort) were reviewed for results of their medical evaluation leading to discharge from military service. A cohort of battlefield-injured servicemembers (including those with nonorthopedic injuries) who were medically retired because of various injuries (General cohort) was also examined. Muscle conditions accounted for 65% of the disability of patients in the Orthopedic cohort. Among the General cohort, 92% of the muscle conditions were identified as VML. VML is a condition that contributes significantly to long-term disability, and the development of therapies addressing VML has the potential to fill a significant void in orthopedic care.

N2 - The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) is a biannual training requirement for all soldiers. The Army has made significant overall fitness gains by developing functional and comprehensive Physical Readiness Training (PRT) programs, but more emphasis on individualized physical fitness test taking technique is warranted in order to optimize performance. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to provide clinicians with several examples of APFT performance enhancement techniques that can potentially be applied not only in the Army, but throughout the military and in the sports community where general fitness assessments are routinely administered.

N2 - Background: The significance of scapular dyskinesis is being challenged due to a lack of the association with pain and ability to predict injury in athletic populations. However, it is unknown whether asymptomatic overhead athletes with dyskinesis cope by normalizing scapular position with higher demand activities. Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare change in scapular kinematics from an active unweighted contraction to a maximal isometric contraction in asymptomatic overhead athletes with and without scapular dyskinesis. Secondarily, force generated with manual muscle tests were explored for differences and relationships with kinematics. Study Design: Cross-sectional laboratory study Methods: Twenty-five matched asymptomatic overhead athletes with (n = 14) and without (n=11) scapular dyskinesis, defined with a reliable and validated clinical method, participated in this study. Three-dimensional scapular kinematics were evaluated in an active unweighted condition, and during maximal isometric contractions at 90 ° of shoulder flexion. Isometric force produced with lower trapezius and serratus anterior manual muscle tests were assessed with a dynamometer. Changes in scapular kinematics were compared between groups. Differences in force generated with manual muscle tests between groups and relationships with kinematics were explored. Results: Athletes with dyskinesis demonstrated greater deficits in scapular upward rotation with maximal contraction (p = < 0.001), less external rotation (p = 0.036) and weaker lower trapezius manual muscle test strength (p = 0.031). Lower trapezius (p = 0.003;r = 0.57) and serratus anterior (p = 0.042;r= 0.41) manual muscle test strength deficits were fair to moderately associated with a lack of scapular upward rotation during maximal contraction. Conclusion: Small to moderate changes in scapular kinematics are normal responses to a maximal contraction, but with scapular dyskinesis this response is accentuated. Athletes with dyskinesis generate less force with lower trapezius manual muscle testing compared to athletes without dyskinesis. Decreased strength with lower trapezius and serratus anterior manual muscle testing was also related to a lack of upward rotation in all athletes., ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Body composition and metabolism may change considerably after traumatic amputation because of muscle atrophy and an increase in adiposity. The purpose of this study was to quantify changes in weight, body composition, and metabolic rate during the first year following traumatic amputation in military servicemembers. Servicemembers without amputation were included for comparison. Participants were measured within the first 12 wk after amputation (baseline) and at 6, 9, and 12 mo after amputation. Muscle mass, fat mass, weight, and metabolic rate were measured at each time point. There was a significant increase in weight and body mass index in the unilateral group between baseline and all follow-up visits (p < 0.01). Over the 12 mo period, total fat mass and trunk fat mass increased in both unilateral and bilateral groups; however, these changes were not statistically significant over time. Muscle mass increased in both the unilateral and bilateral groups despite percent of lean mass decreasing. No changes in resting metabolism or walking energy expenditure were observed in any group. The results of this study conclude that weight significantly increased because of an increase in both fat mass and muscle mass in the first year following unilateral and bilateral amputation.

N2 - A common practice in sports science is to assess hydration status using the concentration of a single spot urine collection taken at any time of day for comparison against concentration (specific gravity, osmolality, color) thresholds established from first morning voids. There is strong evidence that this practice can be confounded by fluid intake, diet, and exercise, among other factors, leading to false positive/negative assessments. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to provide a simple explanation as to why this practice leads to erroneous conclusions and should be curtailed in favor of consensus hydration assessment recommendations.

N2 - Purpose: Shoulder pathology, particularly SLAP (superior labrum anterior-posterior) lesions, is prevalent in overhead athletes and physically active individuals. The aim of this study is to quantify the burden of SLAP lesions in the military and establish risk factors for diagnosis. Methods: A retrospective analysis of all service members diagnosed with a SLAP lesion (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision code 840.70) in the Defense Medical Epidemiological Database between 2002 and 2009 was performed. Available epidemiological risk factors including age, sex, race, military rank, and branch of service were evaluated using multivariate Poisson regression analysis, and cumulative and subgroup incidence rates were calculated. Results: During the study period, approximately 23,632 SLAP lesions were diagnosed among a population at risk of 11,082,738, resulting in an adjusted incidence rate of 2.13 per 1,000 person-years. The adjusted annual incidence rate for SLAP lesions increased from 0.31 cases per 1,000 person-years in 2002 to 1.88 cases per 1,000 person-years in 2009, with an average annual increase of 21.2 % (95 % CI 20.7 %, 22.0 %, p < 0.0001) during the study period. Age, sex, race, branch of military service, and military rank were independent risk factors associated with the incidence rate of SLAP lesion ( p < 0.01). Male service members were over twofold more likely (IRR, 2.12; 95 % CI 2.01, 2.23) to sustain a SLAP lesion when compared with females. Increasing age category was associated with a statistically significant increase in the incidence rate for SLAP lesions in the present study ( p < 0.001). After controlling for the other variables, those individuals of white race, enlisted ranks, or Marine Corps service experienced the highest incidence rates for SLAP. Conclusion: This is the first study to establish the epidemiology of SLAP lesions within an active military cohort in the American population. Sex, age, race, military rank, and branch of military service were all independently associated with the incidence rate of SLAP lesions in this physically active population at high risk for shoulder injury.

AB - It remains unclear whether the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) is a well-structured terror organization that poses a strategic threat, or a loosely organized collection of bandits that poses limited risk. Efforts to assess the nature of the organization are complicated by flaws in existing datasets on Violent Non-State Actors (VNSAs). ASG's role in kidnappings serves as a test-case to estimate incongruities among four major datasets on VNSAs. Original data collected at the agent level provides an additional point of comparison and also serves to test the efficacy of ASG's knowledge-dissemination structures, which are key in determining VNSAs' strategic capacities.

AB - This article traces the history of US Army physical fitness assessments from the first test developed for Cadets at the US Military Academy in 1858 through efforts to revise the current Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). The first "Individual Efficiency Test" (1920) for all Soldiers consisted of a 100-yard run, running broad jump, wall climb, hand grenade throw, and obstacle course. The first scientific efforts involved testing of 400 Soldiers and a factor analysis of 25 individual test items. In 1944, this resulted in a 7-item test (pull-up, burpee, squat jump, push-up, man-carry, sit-up and 300-yard run) with a 100-point scoring system. In 1943, women were encouraged to take a "self-assessment" consisting of push-ups, bent knee sit-ups, wing lifts, squat thrusts, running, and a stork stand. In 1946, age-adjusted standards were introduced and in 1965 semiannual fitness assessments were mandated. The number of tests proliferated in the 1969-1973 period with 7 separate assessments. The current APFT consisting of push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2-mile run was introduced in 1980 and alternative tests for those with physical limitations in 1982. Current efforts to revise the assessment involve systematic literature reviews and validating the relationship between test items and common Soldiering tasks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Defense Acquisition Workforce and defense industry professionals engaged in the acquisition decision process must have extensive knowledge of the relationship between government ownership of Technical Data Rights and the transition of technology from the Science and Technology (S&T) community into Programs of Record (PoR). For purposes of this article, the author's objective was to identify ways to increase such understanding and promote successful transition of Technical Data Rights through use of survey questionnaires that solicited feedback. This research concluded that Program Executive Officers and Program Managers were transitioning the associated Technical Data Rights along with the Advanced Technology Development products; and that DoD ownership of Technical Data Rights makes a statistical difference in the successful transition of technologies.

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

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

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

AB - In this study, we proffer an algorithmic, geospatial-based decision-support methodology that assists military decision-makers in determining which aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC) assets to launch after receiving an injury location, given knowledge only of terrain, aircraft location, and aircraft capabilities. The objective is for military medical planners to use this decision-support tool (1) to improve real-time situational awareness by visualization of MEDEVAC coverage, showing which areas can be reached within established timelines; (2) to support medical planning by visualizing the impact of changes in the medical footprint to the MEDEVAC coverage; and (3) to support decision-making by providing a time-sorted list of MEDEVAC asset packages to select from, given the location of the patients. This same geospatial-based decision tool can be used for proper emplacement of evacuation assets such that the theater is covered within a truly representative I -hour response time. We conclude with a discussion of applicability of this tool in medical force structure planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Soldiers must perform a variety of physical tasks that the civilian population does not. The Modified Oswestry Disability Index (M-ODI) is the most widely used measure of function in patients with low back pain but does not include military tasks. The Military Low Back Pain Questionnaire (MBQ) was developed by military Physical Therapists to include tasks such as wearing body armor. The purpose of this study was to provide preliminary evidence for the reliability, responsiveness, and validity of the MBQ in nondeployed Soldiers. The MBQ had good reliability compared to the M-ODI. The inter-rater correlation coefficient for the M-ODI was 0.79 and 0.75 for the MBQ. Cronbach's alpha was 0.75 and 0.85 for the M-ODI and MBQ, respectively. The minimal detectable change for the M-ODI was 21.03 and 22.97 for the MBQ. Responsiveness was assessed using a global rating of change; area under the curve for the M-ODI was 0.82 and 0.90 for the MBQ. The correlation between the M-ODI and the MBQ was r = 0.80 indicating good concurrent validity. The MBQ was as reliable as the M-ODI in an Army population. There were trends in the psychometrics suggesting the MBQ may be more sensitive to change than the M-ODI in this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - New technologies often have the potential for disrupting existing established practices, but nowhere is this so pertinent as in education and training today. And yet, education has been glacially slow to adopt these changes in a large scale way, and innovations seem to be imposed mainly by students' and their changing social lifestyles than by policy. Will this change? Leadership is sorely needed. Education needs to become more modular and move out of the classroom into informal settings, homes, and especially the internet. Nationwide certifications based on these modules would permit technology to enter education more rapidly. Smaller nations may be more flexible in making these very disruptive changes.

AB - Recent efforts in the private and public sectors to move toward enhanced sustainability in the built environment have prompted the need to quantify and assess trade-offs among relevant sustainability metrics. Within the US military, for instance, many technological improvements are available to facilitate the achievement of net-zero goals for installations. These technologies must be assessed based on numerous performance criteria, and these technology selection decisions are difficult to make unaided. This paper seeks to demonstrate the use of decision-analytical techniques in which sustainable roofing technology alternatives (reflective, vegetated, or solar roofs) can be properly framed and assessed while evaluating the trade-offs between multiple performance criteria. Multi-criteria decision analysis methods are used to assess the impact of technology alternatives on sustainability framed within the popular concept of the triple bottom line (economic, societal, and environmental concerns). The framework developed in this paper can be applied to other sustainability technologies (energy, water, waste) or portfolios of numerous technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Historical shoreline and bathymetric survey data were compiled for the barrier islands and passes fronting Mississippi Sound to identify net littoral sand transport pathways, quantify the magnitude of net sand transport, and develop an operational sediment budget spanning a 90-year period. Net littoral sand transport along the islands and passes is primarily unidirectional (east-to-west). Beach erosion along the east side of each island and sand spit deposition to the west result in an average sand flux of about 400,000 cy/yr (305,000 m³/yr) throughout the barrier island system. Dog Keys Pass, located updrift of East Ship Island, is the only inlet acting as a net sediment sink. It also is the widest pass in the system (about 10 km) and has two active channels and ebb shoals. As such, a deficit of sand exists along East Ship Island. Littoral sand transport decreases rapidly along West Ship Island, where exchange of sand between islands terminates because of wave sheltering from the Chandeleur Islands and shoals at the eastern margin of the St. Bernard delta complex, Louisiana. These data were used to assist with design of a large island restoration project along Ship Island. Mississippi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Coastal Louisiana is a dynamic and ever-changing landscape. From 1956 to 2010, over 3,734 km² of Louisiana's coastal wetlands have been lost due to a combination of natural and human-induced activities. The resulting landscape constitutes a mosaic of conditions from highly deteriorated to relatively stable with intact landmasses. Understanding how and why coastal landscapes change over time is critical to restoration and rehabilitation efforts. Historically, changes in marsh pattern (i.e., size and spatial distribution of marsh landmasses and water bodies) have been distinguished using visual identification by individual researchers. Difficulties associated with this approach include subjective interpretation, uncertain reproducibility, and laborious techniques. In order to minimize these limitations, this study aims to expand existing tools and techniques via a computer-based method, which uses geospatial technologies for determining shifts in landscape patterns. Our method is based on a raster framework and uses landscape statistics to develop conditions and thresholds for a marsh classification scheme. The classification scheme incorporates land and water classified imagery and a two-part classification system: (1) ratio of water to land, and (2) configuration and connectivity of water within wetland landscapes to evaluate changes in marsh patterns. This analysis system can also be used to trace trajectories in landscape patterns through space and time. Overall, our method provides a more automated means of quantifying landscape patterns and may serve as a reliable landscape evaluation tool for future investigations of wetland ecosystem processes m the northern Gulf of Mexico.

AB - Hurricanes in southeastern Louisiana develop significant surges within the lower Mississippi River. Storms with strong sustained easterly winds push water into shallow Breton Sound, overtop the river's east bank south of Pointe à la Hache, Louisiana, penetrate into the river, and are confined by levees on the west bank. The main channel's width and depth allow surge to propagate rapidly and efficiently up river. This work refines the high-resolution, unstructured mesh, wave current Simulating Waves Nearshore + Advanced Circulation () SL16 model to simulate river flow and hurricane-driven surge within the Mississippi River. A river velocity regime-based variation in bottom friction and a temporally variable riverine flow-driven radiation boundary condition are essential to accurately model these processes for high and/or time-varying flows. The coupled modeling system is validated for riverine flow stage relationships, flow distributions within the distributary systems, tides, and Hurricane Gustav (2008) riverine surges.

AB - Global positioning system (GPS) technology has made possible the detailed tracking of the spatial movements of wildlife. Using GPS tracking collars placed on female white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus) over a protracted period, we illustrate that this species is spatially irrelevant for consideration in ecological risk assessments (ERAs) for commonly assessed contaminated sites. Specifically, deer movements do not allow for a sufficiency of chemical exposures to occur such that toxicological endpoints would be triggered. Deer are spatially irrelevant not only because their home ranges and overall utilized areas dwarf prototypical hazardous waste sites. They are also inappropriate for assessment because they only minimally contact reasonably sized preferred locations, this while demonstrating a confounding high degree of site affinity for them. Our spatial movements analysis suggests that deer introduce the ERA novelty of a species displaying elements of both chronic and acute site exposure. We further suggest that other large commonly assessed high-profile mammals could also be found to be spatially irrelevant for ERAs were they to submit to the GPS tracking and subsequent data analysis we performed for the deer. Recognizing that certain receptors need not be considered in ERAs can help to simplify the ERA process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - It is shown here that uncertainty can significantly affect estimated surge levels over a wide range of annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs). For AEPs in the range of 1 × 10-5 × 10 in the New Orleans area, estimated surge values with and without consideration of uncertainty differ by about 0.5-1.0 m. Similarly, suppression of natural variability, such as using a single value for Mississippi River discharge in surge simulations, rather than allowing the discharge to vary probabilistically, is shown to produce deviations up to 1 m for the 1 × 10 AEP in locations within the mainline river levees in this area. It is also shown that uncertainty can play a critical role in the analysis of very low probability events in the AEP range 1 × 10-1 × 10. Such events are typically used in designs of structures with major societal impacts. It is shown here that, for this range of AEPs along the west coast of Florida, the neglect of uncertainty can under-predict design surge levels by about 20 % compared to estimated surge levels that include uncertainty.

AB - 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a toxic and persistent explosive compound occurring as a contaminant at numerous sites worldwide. Knowledge of the microbial dynamics driving TNT biodegradation is limited, particularly in native aquifer sediments where it poses a threat to water resources. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of organic amendments on anaerobic TNT biodegradation rate and pathway in an enrichment culture obtained from historically contaminated aquifer sediment and to compare the bacterial community dynamics. TNT readily biodegraded in all microcosms, with the highest biodegradation rate obtained under the lactate amended condition followed by ethanol amended and naturally occurring organic matter (extracted from site sediment) amended conditions. Although a reductive pathway of TNT degradation was observed across all conditions, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis revealed distinct bacterial community compositions. In all microcosms, Gram-negative γ- or β-Proteobacteria and Gram-positive Negativicutes or Clostridia were observed. A Pseudomonas sp. in particular was observed to be stimulated under all conditions. According to non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis of DGGE profiles, the microcosm communities were most similar to heavily TNT-contaminated field site sediment, relative to moderately and uncontaminated sediments, suggesting that TNT contamination itself is a major driver of microbial community structure. Overall these results provide a new line of evidence of the key bacteria driving TNT degradation in aquifer sediments and their dynamics in response to organic carbon amendment, supporting this approach as a promising technology for stimulating in situ TNT bioremediation in the subsurface.

AB - On December 22, 2008, failure of an earthen containment structure resulted in the release of approximately 4.1 million m3 of coal fly ash into the Emory River and the surrounding area from the Tennessee Valley Authority Kingston Fossil Plant near Kingston, Tennessee, USA. The purpose of the present study was to assess the potential of dredging activities performed to remove the fly ash from the river to result in increased risk to pelagic fish, with special consideration of mobilization of metals. Elutriates were created using two sources of fly ash by bubbling with air over 10 d. This elutriate preparation method was designed to represent worst-case conditions for oxidation, metal release, and dissolution. Larval and juvenile Pimephales promelas underwent 10-d exposures to these elutriates. Larval end points included survival and biomass, and juvenile end points included survival, length, biomass, liver somatic index, and bioaccumulation. No significant toxicity was observed. Bioaccumulation of metals in juveniles was found to be primarily attributable to metals associated with particles in the gut. Results suggest little potential for toxicity to related fish species due to fly ash removal dredging activities given the extreme conditions represented by the elutriates in the present study.

AB - The feasibility of using a microalga Chlorella vulgaris YSW-04 was investigated for removal of nutrients from piggery wastewater effluent. The consequent lipid production by the microalga was also identified and quantitatively determined. The wastewater effluent was diluted to different concentrations ranging from 20 to 80 % of the original using either synthetic media or distilled water. The dilution effect on both lipid production and nutrient removal was evaluated, and growth rate of C. vulgaris was also monitored. Dilution of the wastewater effluent improved microalgal growth, lipid productivity, and nutrient removal. The growth rate of C. vulgaris was increased with decreased concentration of piggery wastewater in the culture media regardless of the diluent type. Lipid production was relatively higher when using synthetic media than using distilled water for dilution of wastewater. The composition of fatty acids accumulated in microalgal biomass was dependent upon both dilution ratio and diluent type. The microalga grown on a 20 % concentration of wastewater effluent diluted with distilled water was more promising for generating high-efficient biodiesel compared to the other culture conditions. The highest removal of inorganic nutrients was also achieved at the same dilution condition. Our results revealed the optimal pretreatment condition for the biodegradation of piggery wastewater with microalgae for subsequent production of high-efficient biodiesel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - One of the important recent advances in the field of hurricane/storm modelling has been the development of high-fidelity numerical simulation models for reliable and accurate prediction of wave and surge responses. The computational cost associated with these models has simultaneously created an incentive for researchers to investigate surrogate modelling (i.e. metamodeling) and interpolation/regression methodologies to efficiently approximate hurricane/storm responses exploiting existing databases of high-fidelity simulations. Moving least squares (MLS) response surfaces were recently proposed as such an approximation methodology, providing the ability to efficiently describe different responses of interest (such as surge and wave heights) in a large coastal region that may involve thousands of points for which the hurricane impact needs to be estimated. This paper discusses further implementation details and focuses on optimization characteristics of this surrogate modelling approach. The approximation of different response characteristics is considered, and special attention is given to predicting the storm surge for inland locations, for which the possibility of the location remaining dry needs to be additionally addressed. The optimal selection of the basis functions for the response surface and of the parameters of the MLS character of the approximation is discussed in detail, and the impact of the number of high-fidelity simulations informing the surrogate model is also investigated. Different normalizations of the response as well as choices for the objective function for the optimization problem are considered, and their impact on the accuracy of the resultant (under these choices) surrogate model is examined. Details for implementation of the methodology for efficient coastal risk assessment are reviewed, and the influence in the analysis of the model prediction error introduced through the surrogate modelling is discussed. A case study is provided, utilizing a recently developed database of high-fidelity simulations for the Hawaiian Islands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper contains the results of aging study performed on 365-day-old trial highway embankments constructed of field-compacted dredged material (DM), steel slag fines (SSF), and three DM-SSF blends. Key findings include that moisture content of the internal core at 365 days was essentially unchanged from the as-built conditions, and the bulk (major oxide) chemistry of the DM-SSF blends matched what was predicted by the field blending ratios. The addition of SSF to the 100% DM resulted in significant pH buffering and in strength increases up to a factor of 2, as measured by the average cone penetrometer test (CPT) tip resistance. Refusal ( or ) was encountered in the 100% SSF embankment at a depth of approximately 1.5 m. The 365-day aged 100% DM and DM-SSF blend had effective friction angles on the order of 34 and 52°, respectively, where the dry DM content is reported first. Quantitative X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that no new crystalline phases were observed in the DM-SSF blends, such as those commonly associated with typical cementation reactions. For 365-day-old DM-SSF blends containing between approximately (100% SSF) and (100% DM) total arsenic, the 95% upper confidence limit on the average. As concentration from the combined toxicity characteristic leaching procedure/synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (TCLP/SPLP) leaching results was less than the SPLP detection limit (), suggesting that the environmental risk associated with beneficially using the DM-SSF blends may be negligible.

AB - We assessed if the qualitative and quantitative aspects of plankton composition in reservoirs of the middle Missouri River were influenced by hydrologic variability. Phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in six reservoirs of this highly regulated system were sampled between 2004 and 2011 during historic drought, subsequent recovery, and a 100-year flood event. The reservoir system encompasses a broad latitudinal gradient of decreasing depth, decreasing water residence time and increasing trophic state. Phytoplankton communities of the upper three reservoirs were co-dominated by planktonic and meroplanktonic diatoms during the drought, recovery, and flood periods, but the proportion of more silicified meroplanktonic diatoms increased in the lower three reservoirs as water residence time decreased. Peak phytoplankton biovolume usually occurred during spring/early summer and was associated with increased hydrologic inflows and outflows. Zooplankton biomass of the reservoir system was dominated by Daphnia spp., but all zooplankton groups decreased as inflows and outflows accelerated during the recovery and flood periods. Rotifer abundances were higher under turbulent conditions associated with dam operations. Canonical correlation analyses suggested that temperature, water residence time, station depth, and water clarity explained more variance in the structures of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities than bioavailable nutrient parameters.

AB - We sampled stocked Salvelinus namaycush (Lake Trout) in Watauga Lake and South Holston Lake, TN using experimental gill nets in 2009-2010 to describe their growth, longevity, and condition. Annuli in sagittal otoliths formed once a year in early spring in both reservoirs. South Holston Lake (n = 99 Lake Trout) has been stocked since 2006, and the oldest fish was age 4. Watauga Lake has been stocked since the mid-1980s, and we collected 158 Lake Trout up to age 20. Annual mortality for age-3 and older fish in Watauga Lake was 24%. When compared to Lake Trout in northern lakes, Tennessee Lake Trout exhibited average to above-average growth and longevity. Condition of Lake Trout in both reservoirs varied seasonally and tended to be lowest in fall, but rebounded in winter and spring. Lake Trout in both reservoirs appeared to be spatially segregated from pelagic prey fishes during summer stratification, but growth rates and body condition were high enough to suggest that neither system was being overstocked.

AB - Plant species distributions and transitions between vegetation types are determined by numerous factors, including disturbances such as fire. Documentation of past changes in the distribution and structure of fire-dependent ecosystems is necessary to assess the success of land management in maintaining historic vegetation types. In our study system--longleaf pine (Pinus palustris)-wiregrass (Aristida stricta) savannas and embedded wetlands (i.e., pocosins)--wiregrass is dependent on frequent burning. We used soil carbon (C) isotopes to test for past changes in the abundance of wiregrass and for shifts in the ecotone between savanna and pocosin in four sites at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Wiregrass has a C4 photosynthetic pathway and therefore produces organic matter enriched in 13C compared to other dominant species in the community that have a C3 photosynthetic pathway. At each of the four sites, we measured profiles of soil δ13C to a depth of 1 m at four locations along the vegetation gradient from upland savannas to lowland pocosins. Surface soil δ13C, which reflects C inputs from current vegetation, did not differ along the gradient despite a decrease in wiregrass cover from savanna, where it is abundant, to pocosin, where it is absent. Enrichment of soil δ13C with depth was indistinguishable from effects of decomposition, indicating that past variation in the abundance and distribution of wiregrass was not detectable in our study sites. Our results suggest that wiregrass currently does not produce, and historically has not produced, enough biomass to influence soil δ13C values along the savanna-pocosin gradient.

AB - Shallow water habitat (SWH) is important for riverine fish and their invertebrate prey, yet the availability of SWH has declined in many systems due to human impacts. We evaluated the potential ecological benefits of restoring SWH by comparing zooplankton and phytoplankton from created backwaters (a floodplain feature connected to the river on the downstream end but disconnected at the upstream end) and chutes (a side channel of the river that diverts flow from the main channel through the chute and back into the main channel) on the lower Missouri River. We tested the hypothesis that backwaters support higher abundances of zooplankton and phytoplankton than chutes using data that were collected during the summer of 2010. As predicted, backwaters had more diverse cladoceran communities and greater abundances of rotifers, copepod nauplii, adult copepods, and cladocerans than chutes. Total algal biovolume was the same in chutes and backwaters; however, phytoplankton taxa richness was higher in backwaters, and there was a greater biovolume of green algae ( Chlorophyta), Crypotophyta, cyanobacteria, and Euglenophyta in backwaters than in chutes. Differences in zooplankton and phytoplankton between backwaters and chutes appeared to be related to slower current velocities, longer retention times, and lower levels of turbidity and total suspended solids in backwaters. While chutes have the potential to provide greater habitat diversity than the mainstem, there were no differences in water quality or phytoplankton abundance, community structure, or diversity between these two habitats. Combined, our results suggest that created backwaters initially provide a greater potential food resource for native fishes. However, additional research is needed to determine whether chutes can also develop beneficial shallow water features over a longer period of time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Palytoxin (PLTX) is the reference compound for a group of potent marine biotoxins, for which the molecular target is Na+ /K+-ATPase. Indeed, ouabain (OUA), a potent blocker of the pump, is used to inhibit some PLTX effects in vitro. However, in an effort to explain incomplete inhibition of PLTX cytotoxicity, some studies suggest the possibility of two different binding sites on Na+/K+ -ATPase. Hence, this study was performed to characterize PLTX binding to intact HaCaT keratinocytes and to investigate the ability of OUA to compete for this binding. PLTX binding to HaCaT cells was demonstrated by immunocytochemical analysis after 10 min exposure. An anti-PLTX monoclonal antibody-based ELISA showed that the binding was saturable and reversible, with a Kd of 3 x 10-10 M. However, kinetic experiments revealed that PLTX binding dissociation was incomplete, suggesting an additional, OUA-insensitive, PLTX binding site. Competitive experiments suggested that OUA acts as a negative allosteric modulator against high PLTX concentrations (0.3-1.0 x 10-7 M) and possibly as a non-competitive antagonist against low PLTX concentrations (0.1-3.0 x 10-9 M). Antagonism was supported by PLTX cytotoxicity inhibition at OUA concentrations that displaced PLTX binding (1 x 10-5 M). However, this inhibition was incomplete, supporting the existence of both OUA-sensitive and -insensitive PLTX binding sites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The purpose of this study was to assess the toxicological effects of two munition compounds, 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4A-DNT) and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), on three different bird species: two common toxicological model species-the Northern Bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus) and the Japanese Quail ( Coturnix japonica), and a representative passerine-the Zebra Finch ( Taeniopygia guttata). Bobwhite were exposed to 4A-DNT at 0, 8, 15, 30, 60, or 150 mg/kg body weight (bw) d by oral gavage for seven days; because the high dose of 4A-DNT was lethal to bobwhite, the maximum dose was changed to 100 mg/kg bw d for Japanese quail and finches to ensure tissue could be used for future toxicogenomic work. RDX was similarly administered at 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3, 6, or 12 mg/kg bw d. Blood was drawn prior to euthanasia for blood cellularity and chemistry analyses. Finches were clearly least affected by 4A-DNT as evidenced by a lack of observable effects. Bobwhite appeared to be the most sensitive species to 4A-DNT as observed through changes in blood cellularity and plasma chemistry effects. Bobwhite appeared to be more sensitive to RDX than Japanese Quail due to increased effects on measures of plasma chemistries. Finches exhibited the greatest sensitivity to RDX through increased mortality and seizure activity. This study suggests that sensitivity among species is chemical-specific and provides data that could be used to refine current avian sensitivity models used in ecological risk assessments.

AB - A method is presented to consistently tie future mean sea level rise (MSLR) scenario projections to local geodetic and tidal datums. This extends the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) guidance for incorporating the effects of future MSLR into coastal projects. While USACE relies on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 19-year National Tidal Datum Epoch (NTDE) for its datum relationships, the approach proposed herein generalizes this guidance by choosing the appropriate 19-year epoch centered on the start year of the MSLR scenario under consideration. The procedure takes into account the local annual sea level variability, which confounds the matching to any given single year while generalizing and preserving the 19-year averaging long used by NOAA to calculate the NTDE. Examples of the MSLR scenario matching procedure are given using actual data and projections for La Jolla, California, and Sewells Point (Hampton Roads), Virginia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sea-level rise (SLR) estimates vary broadly, but most estimates predict significant increases in sea levels within the next century. Through the use of validated, coupled wave and hydrodynamic models, this study investigates SLR effects on storm surge and nearshore waves, including variation with coastal landscape type and storm characteristics. Both the wave and hydrodynamic models account for bottom friction based on land-use type, so the modeling procedure accounted for SLR-related changes to land cover, in addition to higher mean sea levels. Simulation of storms with similar meteorological characteristics and track but with landfall in the northeastern and southwestern coastal areas allowed examination of how the coastal features influenced the storm surge and wave response to increased sea levels. The simulation results analyzed here demonstrate that the relationship between storm surge and relative SLR (RSLR) varies between geographic region and storm scenario. The increase in an inundated area is linear in the north, and in the south, the inundated area approaches the northern values for similar storms asymptotically. Nearshore wave results indicate, as expected, that larger water depths created by positive RSLR and amplified surge allow larger waves to propagate into inland areas. For the Texas simulations, it was found that an increase in hurricane wind speeds of 25% is approximately equivalent to a RSLR of 0.5 m in terms of increased area of inundation impact. Because of the complexities of storm-surge dependency on storm strength, track, and local topography, there is no one-size-fits-all response to RSLR descriptive of all locations. Site-specific computer modeling should be used to evaluate the risk facing coastal communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Management of natural resources and infrastructure systems for sustainability is complicated by uncertainties in the human and natural environment. Moreover, decisions are further complicated by contradictory views, values, and concerns that are rarely made explicit. Scenario analysis can play a major role in addressing the challenges of sustainability management, especially the core question of how to scan the future in a structured, integrated, participatory, and policy-relevant manner. In a context of systems engineering, scenario analysis can provide an integrated and timely understanding of emergent conditions and help to avoid regret and belated action. The purpose of this paper is to present several case studies in natural resources and infrastructure systems management where scenario analysis has been used to aide decision making under uncertainty. The case studies include several resource and infrastructure systems: (1) water resources (2) land-use corridors (3) energy infrastructure, and (4) coastal climate change adaptation. The case studies emphasize a participatory approach, where scenario analysis becomes a means of incorporating diverse stakeholder concerns and experience. This approach to scenario analysis provides insight into both high-performing and robust initiatives/policies, and, perhaps more importantly, influential scenarios. Identifying the scenarios that are most influential to policy making helps to direct further investigative analysis, modeling, and data-collection efforts to support the learning process that is emphasized in adaptive management.

AB - Personal protection measures against biting arthropods include topical insect repellents, area repellents, insecticide-treated bednets and treated clothing. The literature on the effectiveness of personal protection products against arthropods is mainly limited to studies of prevention of bites, rather than prevention of disease. Tungiasis was successfully controlled by application of topical repellents and scrub typhus was reduced through the use of treated clothing. Successful reduction of leishmaniasis was achieved through the use of topical repellents, treated bednets and treated clothing in individual studies. Malaria has been reduced by the use of insecticide-treated bednets (ITN), certain campaigns involving topical repellents, and the combination of treated bednets and topical repellents. Although area repellents such as mosquito coils are used extensively, their ability to protect humans from vector-transmitted pathogens has not been proven. Taken together, the literature indicates that personal protection measures must be used correctly to be effective. A study that showed successful control of malaria by combining treated bednets and topical repellents suggests that combinations of personal protection measures are likely to be more effective than single methods. Implementation of successful programmes based on personal protection will require a level of cooperation commonly associated with other basic societal functions, such as education and food safety.

AB - The release of hatchery reared salmonid smolts is a common management tool aimed at enhancing depleted wild stocks and maintaining fisheries throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. In the Sacramento River watershed, smolts must migrate through the river, delta and estuary in order to successfully reach the Pacific Ocean. Migration success (success defined as apparent survival from one monitor location to another) may vary between species, year and habitat. We released 500 late-fall run Chinook salmon and 500 steelhead smolts in 2009 and 2010 in the Sacramento River (river kilometer 207). Each smolt was implanted with a coded ultrasonic tag, which was detected by an array of over 300 underwater receiver stations deployed throughout the system. Less than 25 % of fish migrated successfully to the Pacific Ocean in both years. We found that reach specific success was greater in the Delta in 2009 (>60 %) than in 2010 (<33 %), whereas this pattern was reversed in the Bay (<57 % in 2009, >75 % in 2010). Identifying the location, timing and causes of smolt mortality can lead to improved management of the resource. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - ABSTRACT Woody riparian vegetation provides numerous ecological benefits such as stabilizing streambanks, storing and cycling nutrients, shading streams and providing habitat for wildlife. However, vegetation also increases hydraulic roughness and reduces the effective flow area, resulting in an increased water surface elevation for a given streamflow. Balancing the desire to preserve woody vegetation in stream corridors with the need to manage flood risks requires accurate techniques for predicting the influence of vegetation on stream hydraulics. However, this is a challenging problem because woody vegetation responds to the flow field itself by bending and streamlining in response to hydraulic forces. The goal of this study was to predict the bending behaviour of woody riparian vegetation as a function of hydraulic flow conditions. Field tests were performed to elucidate tree biomechanical properties for select riparian taxa of the southwestern USA. Biomechanical results served as input parameters for a numerical algorithm designed to predict tree bending for water velocities likely to be encountered during flood events. Bending simulations revealed appreciable variability in bent tree heights. Variability was likely a manifestation of the extensive variance in plant characteristics and properties inherent in biological specimens. However, no trees were expected to bend to a height lower than approximately 42% of their original height, even in water moving at 2.5 m·s-1. The results of this work provide an important first step in an effort to predict a dynamic hydraulic roughness for vegetated channels and floodplains under flood conditions.

AB - Understanding space-use patterns of freshwater turtle hatchlings is critical to guide conservation efforts, yet little is known because of the difficulties in studying this early life-history stage. We investigated post-emergence movements and habitat associations of western pond turtles (Actinemys marmorata) at two study sites in western Oregon using micro- transmitters and harmonic radar methods. Hatchlings delayed emergence until spring, with few exceptions. Hatchlings typically remained within 2 m of nests for as long as 59 d after initial emergence. During migration from their nests to aquatic habitat, hatchlings embedded themselves in soil for up to 22 d at stop-over sites. Movements between successive stop-over sites averaged 27 m. Although the number of days turtles remained within 2 m of their nest following emergence varied widely among and within nests, hatchlings entered aquatic habitat relatively synchronously. Hatchlings entered aquatic habitat on average 49 d after initial emergence, and traveled an average of 89 m from their nest site. Hatchlings detected in water were always within 1 m of shore and in areas with dense submerged vegetation and woody debris. Because of delayed emergence and extended post-emergent use of the area adjacent to nests, managers must consider the trade-offs of managing vegetation for nest habitat and the potential harm to hatchlings by vegetation management near nests.

AB - The U.S. Army is seeking to produce safer, less sensitive munitions through the addition of two new energetics, 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and -methyl paranitro aniline (MNA), to the munitions' formula. Production of these munitions would add them to the waste stream. The use of an anaerobic fluidized-bed bioreactor (AFBB) was studied for treating these compounds in a simulated wastewater with ethanol as the electron donor. The reactor degraded both of the compounds to below detection limits over a wide range of ethanol concentrations. The degradation was found to be a transformation into secondary products for both energetics: diaminoanisole (for DNAN) and -methyl--phenylenediamine (for MNA). Both of these by-products reacted upon exposure to air, forming azobond dimers. Potassium perchlorate was added to the feed stream to test if additional energetics would disrupt the transformation. The AFBB continued transformation and was able to remove the perchlorate after a two week acclimation period. The AFBB was an effective treatment method for DNAN and MNA, but further study is required to investigate the transformation products more thoroughly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The potential risk and effects of storm-surge damage caused by the combination of hurricane-force waves, tides, and relative sea-level-rise (RSLR) scenarios were examined at the U.S. Naval Station, Norfolk, Virginia. A hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling system validated with measured water levels from Hurricane Isabel was used to simulate two synthesized storms representing 50-year and 100-year return-period hurricanes, a northeaster, and five future RSLR scenarios to evaluate the combined impacts of inundation on this military installation in the lower Chesapeake Bay. The naval base topography and nearshore water body of Hampton Roads were included in the coastal modeling system (CMS), a suite of surge, circulation, wave, sediment transport, and morphology evolution models. The modeling domain was a rectangular area covering the entire Naval Station Norfolk in the Hampton Roads and the mouths of the James and Elizabeth rivers. A variable-resolution grid system was created with a finer resolution of 10 m in the naval base and a coarser resolution of 300 m in the regions away from the base. The boundary-forcing conditions to the CMS were regional storm surge produced by the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC),and wave conditions by the Simulating WAve Nearshore (SWAN) model. The CMS calculated the local water-surface elevation and storm-surge inundation for combined RSLR, surge, waves, and wind. Results indicate that synthetic storms would cause extensive inundation of coastal land around the naval base. Approximately 60% of the land would be under water with the 100-year storm for the present sea level, and 80% for estimated RSLR of 2 m. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Various international and national regulations hold polluters liable for the cleanup of released hazardous substances and the restoration/rehabilitation of natural resources to preincident baseline conditions, a process often referred to as natural resource damage assessment and restoration (NRDAR). Here, we, the authors, describe how global climate change (GCC) will challenge each of the steps of NRDAR processes and offer eight recommendations to improve these processes in light of GCC. First, we call for a better understanding of the net effects of GCC and contaminants on natural resources. Second, we urge facilities and environmental managers to plan for GCC-related factors that are expected to increase the probability of contaminant releases. Third, we suggest re-evaluating definitions of baseline and reference conditions given that GCC will alter both their trajectories and variability. Fourth, we encourage long-term monitoring to improve the quantification of baseline conditions that will change as climate changes. This will enhance the accuracy of injury assessments, the effectiveness of restoration, and the detection of early warning signs that ecosystems are approaching tipping points. Fifth, in response to or anticipation of GCC, restoration projects may need to be conducted in areas distant from the site of injury or focused on functionally equivalent natural resources; thus, community involvement in NRDAR processes will be increasingly important. Sixth, we promote using NRDAR restoration projects as opportunities to mitigate GCC-related impacts. Seventh, we recommend adaptive management approaches to NRDAR processes and communication of successes and failures widely. Finally, we recommend focusing on managing the stressors that might be exacerbated by GCC, such as pollution and habitat loss, because there is a long history of successfully mitigating these stressors, which can be more easily managed on local scales than climate change. We believe that adoption of these recommendations will lead to a more efficacious NRDAR process, despite the challenges posed by climate change. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - Large river ecology has evolved through time, from perceiving rivers as big streams to accepting rivers as spatiotemporally diverse and complex ecosystems spanning terrestrial, aquatic, and socio-political realms. This review summarizes past and present concepts in large river ecology and highlights uncertainties facing the science and management of large rivers, and provides examples of tools (river restoration and adaptive management) that may be used to continue the advancement of large river ecology into the future. We need to ask, “Where do we go from here?” and, “How do we get there?” The science, management, and policy of large rivers are inseparable and decisions formulated by river stakeholders today will inevitably shape how rivers are studied and managed into the future.

AB - The use of a neutral party to intercede between two or more disputing parties with the goal of facilitating a mutually-acceptable resolution, settlement, or agreement--i.e., mediation--has never been critically evaluated as a possible procedure within the field of military criminal justice. This article explores whether mediation may march alongside orthodox criminal procedure--as it does in civilian jurisdictions--without undervaluing traditional philosophies that guide military justice, and without undermining traditional sources of prosecutorial authority: military commanders. Current military doctrine (both operational and legal) supports non-traditional problem-solving systems, of which mediation should be considered a part. Relation-based misconduct provides the most appropriate candidate of crime particularly ripe for mediation within military units, especially when framed against a genuine and historically-justifiable command interest in preserving or repairing "unit cohesion." While pragmatic and legal counter-arguments against mediation are reasonably sound, there is nothing intrinsic to the military scheme of justice that makes them any more persuasive. Rather, when translated into a military culture, these criticisms and concerns reflect the same underlying tensions between traditional prosecutorial authority, efficiency, victim rights, and preventive law. Ultimately, whether in the form of a system that directly employs mediation parallel to orthodox justice, or in the form of a new skill set for military leaders employed indirectly as part of their routine leadership functions, mediation need not be considered alien nor an anathema to current military justice as exercised by military commanders.

AB - Today, U.S. Army commanders and the military lawyers as-signed to advise them--Army Judge Advocates--find themselves operat-ing in areas of extreme legal complexity, where nuanced political and strategic implications are often at the forefront, and where "black letter law" is rarely sufficient to render competent advice. Through formal training at The Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School, ob-servance of the lessons learned by other Judge Advocates collected by the Center for Law and Military Operations, and hands-on training at Com-bat Training Centers, Army Judge Advocates are prepared to address the ever-increasing operational demands of the commanders who rely on their advice.

N2 - Background: No study has attempted to associate the levels of preinjury serum biomarkers of collagen turnover with the subsequent risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Hypothesis: Preinjury serum biomarkers of collagen turnover would be associated with the subsequent risk of ACL injury. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We conducted a case-control study with 45 ACL-injured cases and 45 controls matched for sex, age, height, and weight. In addition to the matching criteria, controls had no history of major joint injury. Baseline preinjury serum samples were obtained from the Department of Defense Serum Repository for all subjects. Samples were assessed for 2 serum biomarkers of collagen synthesis (CPII and CS846) and 2 markers of collagen degradation (C1,2C and C2C) through commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. All ELISAs were performed in triplicate. Conditional logistic regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: Univariate results suggested that both biomarkers for collagen degradation (C1,2C and C2C) were significantly associated with the subsequent likelihood of ACL injury. Serum C2C and C1,2C concentration at baseline were associated with odds ratios (ORs) of 2.05 (95% CI, 1.30-3.23; P = .001) and 3.02 (95% CI, 1.60-5.71; P = .002), respectively. Baseline serum CPII concentrations were also associated with subsequent ACL injury. Serum CPII concentration at baseline was associated with an OR of 4.41 (95% CI, 1.87-10.38; P = .001). Baseline serum CS846 levels approached significance (OR = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.57-1.03; P = .080). Multivariable models suggested that preinjury CPII and C2C concentrations at baseline are important indicators of subsequent ACL injury risk. Conclusion: Preinjury differences in serum biomarker levels of collagen turnover suggest that collagen metabolism in individuals who go on to tear an ACL may be different when compared with a matched control group with no history of major joint injury. These differences may be reflective of different preinjury biochemical and/or biomechanical risk profiles or genetic factors that subsequently affect both collagen metabolism and ACL injury risk.

N2 - Academic disciplines are vulnerable in the 21st century to the forces Barnett called supercomplexity, and we argue that academic societies such as the National Association for Kinesiology in Higher Education are especially well positioned to prepare 21st century scholars to respond to contemporary changes in the disciplines and in institutions of higher education. Academic societies can respond by helping to train scholars to be stewards of their disciplines, and the means by which disciplines will do so is to focus on the character of the scholar through the development and reinforcement of specific virtues. Following the arguments of Plato, Ernest Boyer, and Alasdair MacIntyre, we argue that the development of stewards can help kinesiology respond to contemporary issues. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Purpose: This study aimed to determine the association between injury history at enrollment and incident lower extremity (LE) injury during cadet basic training among first-year military cadets. Methods: Medically treated LE injuries during cadet basic training documented in the Defense Medical Surveillance System were ascertained in a prospective cohort study of three large US military academies from 2005 to 2008. Both acute injuries (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, codes in the 800-900s, including fracture, dislocations, and sprains/strains) and injury-related musculoskeletal injuries (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, codes in the 700s, including inflammation and pain, joint derangement, stress fracture, sprain/strain/rupture, and dislocation) were included. Risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were computed using multivariate log-binomial models stratified by gender. Results: During basic training, there were 1438 medically treated acute and 1719 musculoskeletal-related LE injuries in the 9811 cadets. The most frequent LE injuries were sprains/strains (73.6% of acute injuries) and inflammation and pain (89.6% of musculoskeletal-related injuries). The overall risk of incident LE injury was 23.2% (95% CI = 22.3%-24.0%). Cadets with a history of LE injury were at increased risk for incident LE injury. This association was identical in males (RR = 1.74, 95%CI= 1.55-1.94) and females(RR= 1.74,95% CI= 1.52-1.99). In site-specific analyses, strong associations between injury history and incident injury were observed for hip, knee ligament, stress fracture, and ankle sprain. Injury risk was greater (P < 0.01) for females (39.1%) compared with males (18.0%). The elevated injury risk in females (RR = 2.19,95% CI = 2.04-2.36) was independent of injury history (adjusted RR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.95-2.24). Conclusion: Injury history upon entry to the military is associated with the incidence of LE injuries sustained during cadet basic training. Prevention programs targeted at modifiable factors in cadets with a history of LE injury should be considered. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - The author comments on the use of the zebrafish for the study of human genetic disease due to the similarity of its genes to the human gene. He is concerned about whether there are any research topic limitations in working with the animal where extrapolations to humans will follow. He thinks that zebrafish-to-human extrapolation for the nervous system also deserves attention as researchers working this area are developing chemical warfare agent countermeasures.

AB - Coupled computational fluid dynamics/computational structural dynamics (RCAS/HELIOS and CAMRAD II/HELIOS) analyses are performed, and the calculated rotor structural loads are compared with the flight-test data obtained from the NASA/Army UH-60A Airloads Program. Three challenging level-flight conditions are investigated: 1) high speed with advancing blade negative lift, 2) low speed with blade/wake interaction, and 3) high thrust with dynamic stall. The predicted flap bending and torsion moments, pitch link, and lag damper loads, in general, show reasonably good correlation with the test data. A nonlinear lag damper model is essential for the accurate prediction of root chord bending moment and lag damper load. Both analyses, however, significantly underpredict the chord bending moments, especially the 4/rev4/rev harmonic amplitude. Parametric study shows that blade stiffness variations have only a small influence on the load calculations. However, modal damping in the first flap mode has a significant influence on the flap bending moments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1 - Evaluation of an Existing Steel Box Trunnion Girder and Its Posttensioned Anchors before Liftoff Testing: Case Study Acase study on the analysis of an existing trunnion girder and its greased posttension anchors before load testing is presented herein. Theanalysis, which evaluates themember's capacities using a finite-element model, also investigates the probability of a critical (nonredundant) anchor failing using test data recorded from both nondestructive dispersive wave propagation testing and load testing of similar anchors at other dams. The results of the analysis indicated a higher-than-expected probability of a critical anchor failing, which in a large enough flood event could fail the entire posttensioned anchorage system. In preparation for such an outcome, two contingency plans involving anchorage replacement and a steel exoskeleton wrapped around the trunnion girder with new anchors were developed and compared.

AB - A major criticism of the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War is that it suffered from a crisis in command, especially among officers above the company grade level. Most writing on this topic has centered on structural issues, such as post-World War II personnel policies. This article will examine this phenomenon between the Korean and Vietnam wars by comparing contemporary publications and retrospective critiques by veterans with internal Army sources, particularly service schools, the headquarters of the Continental Army Command, and Headquarters, Department of the Army. If a crisis in command existed between 1953 and 1965, did these organizations' leaders recognize it and address it? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In recent years, Afghanistan and Iraq have drawn new attention to an old subject: American attitudes toward warfare. This essay surveys the existing literature to approach this problem through the interlocking factors of reason and feeling. At first, Americans reconciled these factors, and justified their wars, because republicanism, romantic nationalism, and Victorian culture created the comforting sense of a chosen nation in an orderly, moral cosmos. When two world wars and the Great Depression produced modernist doubt, Americans used nationalism, pragmatism, and faith in technology to guide and sustain them. By the late twentieth century, however, modernist challenges to old universals in a larger and more pluralistic society became harder to reconcile as debates over wars polarized along emotional extremes, while reason's proponents clung to a precarious middle ground. Currently, the prospect of a revived consensus appears remote. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The article presents an examination into the history of civil-military relations in the United States Army, focusing on the 1850s. Introductory comments are given providing a review of existing research literature on the subject. Details are then examined regarding the various actions of the U.S. Army leading up to the outbreak of the Civil War, such as the management of riots and minor local uprisings in the South and Western territories before the full-scale conflict began. Attitudes of regular officers and the greater military authorities of the decade regarding the civil use of the military are reviewed. Commentary is also offered evaluating the development of military strategy and tactics during the period.

AB - Purpose/Objectives: To determine whether psychosocial factors predict depression among older African American patients with cancer.Design: A descriptive correlational study.Setting: Outpatient oncology clinic of a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in the southeastern United States.Sample: African American patients with cancer aged 50-88 years.Methods: Fisher's exact and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to evaluate differences between patients who were possibly depressed (Geriatric Depression Scale) or not. Multivariate linear regression statistics were used to identify the psychosocial factors that predicted higher depression scores. Education and gender were included as covariates.Main Research Variables: Religiosity, emotional support, collectivism, perceived stigma, and depression.Findings: Participants (N = 77) had a mean age of 61 years (SD = 8.4), and a majority were well-educated, insured, religiously affiliated, and currently in treatment. Participants who were in the lowest income category, not married, or male had higher depression scores. The multivariable model consisting of organized religion, emotional support, collectivism, education, and gender explained 52% (adjusted R2) of the variation in depression scores. Stigma became insignificant in the multivariable model.Conclusions: Psychosocial factors are important predictors of depression. Emotional support and organized religious activities may represent protective factors against depression, whereas collectivism may increase their risk.Implications for Nursing: Nurses need to be particularly aware of the potential psychological strain for patients with collectivist values, experienced stigma, disruptions in church attendance, and lack of emotional support. In addition, the treatment plans for these patients should ensure that family members are knowledgeable about cancer, its treatment, and side effects so they are empowered to meet support needs.Knowledge Translation: Among older African American patients with cancer, emotional support and reassurance from family and friends that they will not abandon them decreases the likelihood of depressive symptoms and minimizes the impact of stigmatizing responses, but the perception that the illness is placing a strain on the family increases the likelihood of such symptoms. Emotional support likely is a stronger predictor of depressive symptoms than religious service attendance.

AB - Gregory Reichberg's argument against my reading of the classical just war theorists falsely assumes that if just cause is unilateral, then there is no moral equality of combatants. This assumption is plausible if we assume an individualist framework. However, the classical theorists accepted quasi-Aristotelian, communitarian social ontologies and theories of justice. For them, the political community is ontologically and morally prior to the private individual. The classical just war theorists build their theories within this framework. They argue that just war is only waged by supra-individual political communities for irreducibly social ends. War by private individuals for private ends is always unjust. The ends sought in just war presuppose the justice of a hierarchy of authority over war such that the soldier is obligated to serve in war upon the command of his or her legitimate authority. In this way, the classical theorists accept a unilateral theory of just cause and a division of authority over war that entails the possibility of the moral equality of combatants.

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

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

AB - Objectives: Intraosseous (IO) access, enabling the rapid administration of epinephrine during cardiac arrest (CA), is crucial in promoting optimal postresuscitation outcomes in patients with poor vascular access. There is a question whether IO-administered epinephrine is equivalent to intravenously administered epinephrine during CA. Methods: The question guiding this evidence-based review was as follows: in adults suffering CA given epinephrine via the 10 route, what is the resulting serum concentration of the drug compared to when administered intravenously? A search was conducted and the evidence appraised and leveled. Results: Four animal studies met the inclusion criteria. The sources showed no definitive evidence supporting equivalence between intravenous and 10 epinephrine administered during CA. Intravenously administered epinephrine provides increased and faster appearing serum concentrations than IO-administered epinephrine. Evidence indicated epinephrine given via the sternal 10 route more closely approaches equivalence with intravenously administered epinephrine than when administered by the tibial 10 route. Conclusions: The clinician should consider using proximal 10 infusion sites such as the sternum or humérus when administering advanced cardiac life support drugs to rapidly achieve maximal therapeutic concentrations. Further studies are needed to determine the differences seen when epinephrine is administered by these routes during CA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The dose-response relationship between biomechanical variables and the magnitude of external loads is unclear. The use of different load distributions (e.g., pack types) may confound results because of changes in torso center of mass. Therefore, we examined the relationship between load magnitude and sagittal plane lower extremity mechanics of Soldiers walking with two symmetrically distributed loads. Fourteen Soldiers marched on a force-sensing treadmill at 1.34 m/s for 10 minutes with no load (BW_00) and while wearing vest-borne loads of 15 kg (BW_15) and 55 kg (BW_55). The effects of the loads on sagittal plane joint angles and moments were compared using 1-way repeated measures analyses of variance. Compared with BW00, knee extension moment increased with the 15- and the 55-kg loads (both p < 0.003), confirming previously reported load-related biomechanical responses. Knee moment increases during early stance appeared to be the primary means by which the lower extremity counteracted BW_15 during early stance; in contrast, hip extensors and ankle dorsiflexors appeared to be the primary muscular efforts responsible for propulsion during late stance. Findings elucidated the effects of load magnitude on lower extremity mechanics without postural changes that result from pack-related shifts in torso center of mass. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study investigated the role of peer mentoring and voluntary self-development activities (i.e., capitalization) in anchoring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics students to their college majors. Online data were collected from 214 undergraduate students. As hypothesized, mentoring was positively related to capitalization, and both mentoring and capitalization were positively related to satisfaction with one's major, affective commitment to one's major, involvement in one's major, and willingness to be a mentor. Contrary to expectations, capitalization did not mediate the relationship between peer reentering and student outcomes, suggesting that these constructs contribute independently to positive outcomes. Implications and future research directions are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Field trips have been acknowledged as valuable learning experiences in geography. This article uses Kolb’s (1984) experiential learning model to discuss how students learn and how field trips can help enhance learning. Using Kolb’s experiential learning theory as a guide in the design of field trips helps ensure that field trips contribute to internalizing relevant geographical theory and concepts. Three types of field trips are presented: an informal survey of a neighborhood, a more formal scavenger hunt, and a virtual field trip using Google Earth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - ABSTRACT Ecohydrology is now recognized as an interdisciplinary field, and as it grows, there needs to be greater awareness and dialogue on its focus and future direction. To take a 'bearings' on where we are, 339 ecohydrological articles published between January 2000 and December 2011 in two databases were surveyed. We found that 72% of the studies address questions at the interface of plant ecology and hydrology. The scarcity of studies of animals as drivers of hydrological patterns and processes led us to question the reasons behind plant-based ecologists embracing the term ecohydrology to a greater extent than animal-based ecologists. Following that discussion are current examples of synergies between animal ecologists and hydrologists that have led to a greater understanding of ecosystem processes and a way for ecohydrologists to factor in faunal interactions in their future research. We end by suggesting that ecohydrology form its own scientific society so it can more purposely advance knowledge and understanding of coupled ecological and hydrological system functions.

AB - Previous work has demonstrated the feasibility of in vivo biodiesel synthesis in Escherichia coli, however, ethyl ester formation was dependent on an external fatty acid feedstock. In contrast to E. coli, actinomycetes may be ideal organisms for direct biodiesel synthesis because of their capacity to synthesize high levels of triacylglcerides (TAGs). In this study, we investigated the physiology and associated TAG accumulation along with the in vivo ability to catalyze ester formation from exogenous short chain alcohol sources in Gordonia sp. KTR9, a strain that possesses a large number of genes dedicated to fatty acid and lipid biosynthesis. Total lipid fatty acids content increased by 75 % and TAG content increased by 50 % under nitrogen starvation conditions in strain KTR9. Strain KTR9 tolerated the exogenous addition of up to 4 % methanol, 4 % ethanol and 2 % propanol in the media. Increasing alcohol concentrations resulted in a decrease in the degree of saturation of recovered fatty acid alcohol esters and a slight increase in the fatty acid chain length. A linear dose dependency in fatty alcohol ester synthesis was observed in the presence of 0.5-2 % methanol and ethanol compared to control KTR9 strains grown in the absence of alcohols. An inspection of the KTR9 genome revealed the presence of several putative wax ester synthase/acyl-coenzyme A : diacylglycerol acyltransferase (WS/DGAT) enzymes, encoded by atf gene homologs, that may catalyze the in vivo synthesis of fatty acid esters from short chain alcohols. Collectively, these results indicate that Gordonia sp. KTR9 may be a suitable actinomycete host strain for in vivo biodiesel synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical compatibility of model soil-bentonite backfills containing multiswellable bentonite (MSB) relative to that of similar backfills containing untreated sodium (Na) bentonite or a commercially available, contaminant-resistant bentonite (SW101). Flexible-wall tests were conducted on consolidated backfill specimens () containing clean sand and 4.5-5.7% bentonite (by dry weight) using tap water and calcium chloride (CaCl2) solutions (10-1,000 mM) as the permeant liquids. Final values of hydraulic conductivity () and intrinsic permeability () to the CaCl2 solutions were determined after achieving both short-term termination criteria as defined by ASTM D5084 and long-term termination criteria for chemical equilibrium between the influent and effluent. Specimens containing MSB exhibited the smallest increases in and upon permeation with a given CaCl2 solution relative to specimens containing untreated Na bentonite or SW101. However, none of the specimens exhibited more than a fivefold increase in or , regardless of CaCl2 concentration or bentonite type. Final values for specimens permeated with a given CaCl2 solution after permeation with tap water were similar to those for specimens of the same backfill permeated with only the CaCl2 solution, indicating that the order of permeation had no significant effect on . Also, final values for all specimens were within a factor of two of the measured after achieving the ASTM D5084 termination criteria. Thus, use of only the ASTM D5084 criteria would have been sufficient to obtain reasonable estimates of long-term hydraulic conductivity for the specimens in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Correcting real-time radar-rainfall estimates for mean field systematic errors (bias) is normally accomplished through gauge-based adjustment procedures. This study explores two auxiliary data sources derived from cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning measurements and storm tracking applied on radar images in terms of providing microphysical information useful for improving the efficiency of gauge-based bias adjustment techniques. The CG information is used to classify storms into thunderstorms (T-storms) versus showers (i.e., storms without lightning) and the tracking algorithm is used to classify storms according to their stage of maturity (i.e., growing, maturing, and decaying). Data for this study are based on high-resolution radar-rainfall estimates (2-km spatial grid resolution at 15-min intervals) available over the South Florida Water Management District for a period of 11 months, along with corresponding rain gauge measurements from 120 gauges and CG occurrences from the National Lightning Detection Network. The radar error analysis for T-storms versus showers and for the different storm maturity stages indicate that storm tracking and CG contain significant microphysical information that can improve radar-rainfall estimation. It is shown that radar rain estimates tend to underestimate convective rainfall, primarily associated with the growing stage of the storms or the occurrences of CG lightning; showers and storms at mature or decay stages are shown to be better represented by the standard reflectivity-rainfall (-) relationship used for convective and tropical storms in Florida. Results from this study indicate that information regarding storm maturity stage derived from tracking radar images, and to a lesser extent, CG observations, can be used to reduce variability in the - conversion and consequently improve accuracy in real-time radar-rainfall estimation.

AB - One of the most widely used methods for investment assessment is the internal rate of return (IRR) that is based on the discounted cash flow analysis. Furthermore, the quantitative risk analysis technique is commonly used during the project's initial stage, simply by weighting the financial performance with the incurred risks. Herein, we introduce a decision support algorithm for environmental project evaluation and we focus on its application to solid waste management projects. The proposed algorithm includes some basic steps that should be followed by decision-makers, in order to evaluate a project's options. Specifically, different probability distributions are assigned to all variables that influence the options’ IRRs and Monte Carlo simulation is enforced to compute their expected IRR values. The algorithm presented here can be a useful tool to risk-neutral decision-makers, as it helps them to evaluate an environmental project's options and to select the one with the greatest expected profits.

AB - Chlorine is an industrial chemical that can cause cutaneous burns. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of tissue damage and wound healing is important for the selection and development of an effective post-exposure treatment. This study investigated the effect of cutaneous chlorine vapor exposure using a weanling swine burn model and microarray analysis. Ventral abdominal sites were exposed to a mean calculated chlorine vapor concentration of 2.9 g/L for 30 min. Skin samples were harvested at 1.5 h, 3 h, 6 h, and 24 h post-exposure and stored in RNAlater® until processing. Total RNA was isolated, processed, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip® Porcine Genome Arrays. Differences in gene expression were observed with respect to sampling time. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis revealed seven common biological functions among the top ten functions of each time point, while canonical pathway analysis revealed 3 genes (IL-6, IL1A, and IL1B) were commonly shared among three significantly altered signaling pathways. The transcripts encoding all three genes were identified as common potential therapeutic targets for Phase II/III clinical trial, or FDA-approved drugs. The present study shows transcriptional profiling of cutaneous wounds induced by chlorine exposure identified potential targets for developing therapeutics against chlorine-induced skin injury.

AB - Recent catastrophic losses because of floods require developing resilient approaches to flood risk protection. This article assesses how diversification of a system of coastal protections might decrease the probabilities of extreme flood losses. The study compares the performance of portfolios each consisting of four types of flood protection assets in a large region of dike rings. A parametric analysis suggests conditions in which diversifications of the types of included flood protection assets decrease extreme flood losses. Increased return periods of extreme losses are associated with portfolios where the asset types have low correlations of economic risk. The effort highlights the importance of understanding correlations across asset types in planning for large-scale flood protection. It allows explicit integration of climate change scenarios in developing flood mitigation strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Avian wildlife species commonly ingest lead (Pb) spent shot or bullet fragments as grit or mistakenly as food. In previous studies in our laboratory and others, the toxicity varied based on the diet as well as type and quantity of Pb ingested. In the current study, domestic pigeons were gavaged with 1, 2, or 3 Pb pellets and then followed with weekly radiographs and blood physiologic endpoints for 28 days. Pellet retention decreased by roughly 50 % per week as pellets were either absorbed or excreted, except for week 4 where pellet number no longer was diminished. Size of retained pellets visually decreased over retention time. Birds dosed with a single #9 pellet showed mean blood Pb levels over 80 times higher than those of the controls, verifying Pb pellet absorption from the gut. A single Pb pellet also reduced plasma δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (δ-ALAD) activity by over 80 % compared to controls, suggesting the potential for population injury in Pb pellet-exposed pigeons.

AB - Evaluation of multiple-stressor effects stemming from habitat degradation, climate change, and exposure to chemical contaminants is crucial for addressing challenges to ecological and environmental health. To assess the effects of multiple stressors in an understudied taxon, the western fence lizard ( Sceloporus occidentalis) was used to characterize the individual and combined effects of food limitation, exposure to the munitions constituent 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and Plasmodium mexicanum (lizard malaria) infection. Three experimental assays were conducted including: Experiment I-TNT × Food Limitation, Experiment II-Food Limitation × Malaria Infection, and Experiment III-TNT × Malaria Infection. All experiments had a 30 day duration, the malaria treatment included infected and non infected control lizards, food limitation treatments included an ad libitum control and at least one reduced food ration and TNT exposures consisting of daily oral doses of corn oil control or a corn oil-TNT suspension at 5, 10, 20, 40 mg/kg/day. The individual stressors caused a variety of effects including: reduced feeding, reduced testes mass, anemia, increased white blood cell (WBC) concentrations and increased mass of liver, kidney and spleen in TNT exposures; reduced cholesterol, WBC concentrations and whole body, testes and inguinal fat weights given food limitation; and increased WBC concentrations and spleen weights as well as decreased cholesterol and testes mass in malaria infected lizards. Additive and interactive effects were found among certain stressor combinations including elimination of TNT-induced hormesis for growth under food limitation. Ultimately, our study indicates the potential for effects modulation when environmental stressors are combined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Preliminary site design, emergency response, or engineering operations in remote locations may require a rapid hydrologic analysis to provide decision-support information on a site's suitability for various improvements. This paper describes a procedure for conducting such analyses using widely available Internet-based data and tools. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the steps necessary to execute a hydrologic analysis remotely. The analysis presented was conducted using programs typically found on any computer or that can be downloaded on short notice from the Internet. Freely available online geospatial data were used to create a database of hydrologic conditions at remotely identified points of interest. These points of interest were compared to actual hydrologic databases for sections of Interstate 25 in New Mexico and State Route M-131 in Michigan. The results of the remote hydrologic analysis correctly identified and analyzed 78% of actual physical locations of culverts for the New Mexico site. Due to increased difficulty of visual identification caused by the density of land cover in a more humid climate, the remote hydrologic analysis technique correctly identified 55% of actual physical locations of culverts for the Michigan site. Potential methods to improve the accuracy of the technique are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Pascagoula watershed likely offers the greatest possibility for the survival of the Gulf sturgeon, Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi, within Mississippi. Thus, understanding and preserving the connectivity between distant habitats in this region plays a major role in protecting and managing such anadromous fish populations. The focus of this project was to determine the within-river routes Gulf sturgeon take through the lower Pascagoula River downstream of the point where it splits (river kilometer 23) into two distinct distributaries. Sixty days were sampled throughout a two-year period with a total effort of 81 947 net-meter-hours and eight Gulf sturgeon were captured, ranging from 74 to 189 cm FL and weighing from 3.6 to 52.6 kg. Using an array of automated telemetry receivers, acoustically tagged Gulf sturgeon movements were monitored within the lower river and associated estuary. Estimated residence times (days) suggest Gulf sturgeon appear to prefer the eastern distributary upriver from Bayou Chemise as the primary travel corridor between freshwater habitats and marine feeding grounds. The western distributary mouth was more highly used by Gulf sturgeon during both seasonal migrations between upriver and offshore habitats. Thus, the western distributary appears to represent the main entrance point utilized by Gulf sturgeon to the Pascagoula River watershed and should be protected as the eastern distributary mouth has been altered from a natural marsh edge to one of hardened surfaces.

AB - Atlantic sturgeon migrate between ocean and freshwater habitats to spawn, and juveniles spend several years in fresh/brackish water before returning to the ocean. Because strontium/calcium (Sr/Ca) ratios are diagnostic for freshwater and marine environments, we examined the utility of energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) to quantify Sr/Ca ratios of Atlantic sturgeon pectoral fin spines. Atlantic sturgeon spines from wild adults and experimental juveniles were analyzed along a linear transect from the primordium to the outermost point. To verify the technique hatchery juvenile Atlantic sturgeon were held in experimental tanks at <0.5, 13-15, or 33-35‰ and sampled after 5 months. Sr/Ca ratios of experimental hatchery fish increased with salinity, and Sr/Ca ratios in wild adults varied predictably along the measurement transect. However, the ratio decreased in the outermost region of the spine in mature fish collected during a return to freshwater for spawning. Therefore EDXRF is a useful tool to track individual movements of Atlantic sturgeons and other diadromous fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Mountain Lake in Giles County, Virginia, USA, has a documented history of severe natural lake-level changes involving groundwater seepage that extends over the past 4,200 years. The natural lake was full during a large part of the twentieth century but dried up completely in September 2008 and levels have yet to recover. The objective of the study was to understand the hydrogeologic factors that influence lake-level changes using a daily water balance, electrical resistivity, water sampling and geochemical analysis, and well logging. Results from the water balance demonstrate the seasonal response to precipitation of a forested first-order drainage system in fractured rock. The resistivity surveys suggest discrete high-permeability areas may provide pathways for lake drainage. Imagery, well logs, and field observations appear to confirm the presence of a fault which crosses the Eastern Continental Divide to the east of the lake that had not previously been discussed in literature on the lake; the position of the lake within local and intermediate groundwater flow systems is considered. Historical data suggest that either significant precipitation or artificial intervention to mitigate seepage would be required for lake-level recovery in the near future.

El objetivo del estudio fue entender los factores hidrogeológicos que influyen en los cambios del nivel del lago usando balances diarios de agua, resistividad eléctrica, muestreos de agua y análisis geoquímicos, y perfilajes de pozos. Los resultados del balance de agua demuestran la respuesta estacional a la precipitación en un sistema de drenaje de primer orden forestado en roca fracturada. Los relevamientos de resistividad sugieren que las áreas de una discreta alta permeabilidad pueden proporcionar trayectorias para drenaje del lago. Las imágenes, los perfilajes de pozos, y las observaciones de campo parecen confirmar la presencia de una falla que cruza la divisoria continental oriental hacia el este del lago que no había sido discutida previamente en la literatura; se considera la posición del lago dentro de los sistemas de flujo de aguas subterráneas local e intermedio. Los datos históricos sugieren que para mitigar el escurrimiento subterráneo y recuperar el nivel del lago en un futuro cercano se requeriría una precipitación significativa o bien una intervención artificial, (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Tolerance and adaptability to changing environmental parameters have made Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) a hardy and desirable aquaculture species. These traits have also enabled this fish to become a highly successful invasive species into temperate and subtropical aquatic environments. Otolith-based ages of Nile tilapia (41.3 - 400.0 mm TL, 1.34 - 1,293 g WW, n = 259) collected from a power plant cooling reservoir and the Pascagoula River proper indicated that feral populations overwintered reaching ages up to 4+ years old in coastal Mississippi, USA; these data confirm their establishment. A survey of mean daily winter (December - February) water temperatures from 2004 - 2010 in this region showed minimum lethal temperatures of < 10°C to occur nearly 11% of the time attesting to the adaptability of the Nile tilapia as an invasive species. One annulus (opaque zone) per year was being deposited from April to August based on marginal increment analysis along with sulcal groove length-age estimation of the young-of-the-year Nile tilapia. Additionally, life history metrics measured for this temperate population of Nile tilapia were nearly identical to those reported from African environments, indicating they are flourishing in this non-native habitat.

AB - Rodents are the natural hosts for Leptotrombidium mites that transmit Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus, a potentially fatal febrile human disease. Utilizing mite lines that included O. tsutsugamushi infected and non-infected Leptotrombidium species we investigated the varied infection response of outbred mice (ICR) exposed to L. chiangraiensis (Lc), L. imphalum (Li) and L. deliense (Ld). Each of six mite lines (Lc1, Lc5, Li3, Li4, Li7 and Ld) was separately placed in the inner ears of ICR mice either as a single individual (individual feeding, IF) or as a group of 2-4 individuals (pool feeding, PF). The species of infected chigger feeding on mice significantly affected mortality rates of the mice, with mite lines of Lc causing higher mean (±SE) mortality (90.7 ± 3.6 %) than mite lines of Li (62.9 ± 5.6 %) or Ld (53.6 ± 5.8 %). Mouse responses which included time to death, food consumption and total mice weight change depended on mite species and their O. tsutsugamushi genotype, more than on feeding procedure (IF vs. PF) except for mite lines within the Lc. Infected mite lines of Lc were the most virulent infected mites assessed whereas the infected Ld species was the least virulent for the ICR. Mice killed by various mite lines showed enlarged spleens and produced ascites. The results of this investigation of the clinical responses of ICR mice to feeding by various infected mite lines indicated that the different species of infected mites and their O. tsutsugamushi genotype produced different clinical presentations in ICR mice, a scrub typhus mouse model which mimics the natural transmission of O. tsutsugamushi that is critical for understanding scrub typhus disease in terms of natural transmission, host-pathogen-vector interaction and vaccine development.

AB - Hydrodynamic and water quality codes have been frequently linked. These have typically been linked with both the hydrodynamic and water quality models using similar explicit time steps, but for long-term simulations implicit models are required. The water quality codes linked to these hydrodynamic codes are forced to perform their computations using the hydrodynamic time step even though utilizing the same might result in drifting of the water quality solution. This technical note presents the development and testing of an operator splitting-derived method for linking hydrodynamic and water quality codes with adaptive time stepping. The resulting method provides high-fidelity solutions that compare well with analytic solutions and lends itself for extension to various other transported quantities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Understanding the interplay of dispersal and how it translates into gene flow is key to understanding population processes, and especially so for endangered species occupying fragmented habitats. In migratory songbirds, there is evidence that long-distance movement capabilities do not translate well into observed dispersal. Our objectives were to (i) define the fine-scale spatial genetic structure in endangered black-capped vireos to characterize dispersal patterns and (ii) to correlate dispersal dynamics to overall population genetic structure using a simulation approach. We sampled 160 individuals over 2 years to (i) describe the fine-scale genetic structuring and (ii) used this information to model scenarios to compare with actual data on change in population structuring over a 100-year interval. We found that black-capped vireos exhibit male philopatry and restricted dispersal distances, relative to females. Our simulations also support a sex-biased dispersal model. Additionally, we find that fragmentation related changes in rates of dispersal might be a likely cause for increasing levels of population structure over a 100-year period. We show that restricted sex-biased dispersal can explain population structuring in this species and that changes in dispersal rates due to fragmentation may be a continuing threat to genetic viability in this species.

AB - With an increased volume of melt on many of the world's glaciers, study of how meltwater affects the properties of glacial snowpack becomes essential to our understanding of how glaciers will respond to climate change. We address this problem by studying how snow properties changed on sub-daily timescales on the Kahiltna Glacier, Alaska, between May 26 and June 10, 2010. During this period, we dug 1.8-m-deep snow pits twice daily to record the stratigraphy of melt layers, snow hardness, grain size, and density and sampled for hydrogen isotopic composition (δD) on four occasions. From these data, we show that 65% of the melted surface snow infiltrates and refreezes in the snowpack. This leads to a densification of the snow, a 729% increase in volume of melt layers, and a homogenization of isotopic and physical snow properties. From visual and stratigraphic observations, we show that meltwater flow within the snowpack is conducted primarily along lenses and pipes, where melt layers later form, but that more homogeneous capillary-based flow is also important. Finally, we show using isotope ratios that post-depositional alteration is exacerbated with increased melt extent, using the δD profile below a volcanic ash layer as a case study. In the future, similar studies would benefit from this high-frequency monitoring approach to assessing snowpack evolution, as it allows for a greater understanding of short duration processes. New directions for study would include longer-term monitoring efforts over a wider spatial snow pit network. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Since the winter season of 2004-2005, annual snow assessments have been conducted for the major watersheds of Afghanistan using multispectral (AVHRR and MODIS) and passive microwave (SSM/I and AMSR-E) remote sensing technologies. Because of limited ground-based observations of precipitation and snow pack conditions, remote sensing provides a unique opportunity to assess these conditions at different scales offering an appraisal of current conditions from a historical context. This paper describes the methodology that has been developed over the past seven winter seasons, wherein bi-weekly snow products and assessments are produced including the following: current snow-covered area (SCA) at regional and watershed scales; estimation of SCA by elevation band; current snowpack volume [snow water equivalent (SWE)] for each watershed with a historical perspective (1987-present); snow condition outlook by watershed; general summary of snow conditions based on remote sensing products and limited ground-based observations; and if warranted, a snow melt flooding advisory. Further analysis of these snow products and assessments are presented. Moreover, comparisons between both available passive microwave estimates of SWE (SSM/I and AMSR-E) for all watersheds differ in magnitude yet exhibit similar historical trends. The SSM/I versus AMSR-E historical differences in SWE for each of the major Afghanistan watersheds are quantified and show a strong relationship ( R2 = 96%) to the mean elevation of the watershed.

AB - We integrated high-resolution bare-earth airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) imagery with field observations and modern geochronology to characterize the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone, which forms the neotectonic boundary between the Sierra Nevada and the Basin and Range Province west of Lake Tahoe. The LiDAR imagery clearly delineates active normal faults that have displaced late Pleistocene glacial moraines and Holocene alluvium along 30 km of linear, right-stepping range front of the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone. Herein, we illustrate and describe the tectonic geomorphology of faulted lateral moraines. We have developed new, three-dimensional modeling techniques that utilize the high-resolution LiDAR data to determine tectonic displacements of moraine crests and alluvium. The statistically robust displacement models combined with new ages of the displaced Tioga (20.8 ± 1.4 ka) and Tahoe (69.2 ± 4.8 ka; 73.2 ± 8.7 ka) moraines are used to estimate the minimum vertical separation rate at 17 sites along the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone. Near the northern end of the study area, the minimum vertical separation rate is 1.5 ± 0.4 mm/yr, which represents a two- to threefold increase in estimates of seismic moment for the Lake Tahoe basin. From this study, we conclude that potential earthquake moment magnitudes (Mw) range from 6.3 ± 0.25 to 6.9 ± 0.25. A close spatial association of landslides and active faults suggests that landslides have been seismically triggered. Our study underscores that the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone poses substantial seismic and landslide hazards. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Fire can have dramatic effects on the vital rates of plant species and has been used successfully for management in a number of ecosystems. However, the demographic response of species to fire in fire-dependent ecosystems is variable, making it important to study the effects of fire on rare and threatened species. We quantified the effects of fire on Astragalus michauxii and Pyxidanthera brevifolia, two rare endemics of the longleaf pine-wiregrass ecosystem of the southeastern USA, by means of periodic matrix models to project the effect of fire frequency on population growth. In contrast to many species in the longleaf pine-wiregrass ecosystem, fire had short-term negative effects on both species, causing reductions in survival, size, flowering, and fruit production. Relative to the three-year fire intervals to which the study populations are currently exposed, more frequent burning is projected to cause population decline, with the most dramatic effects under annual burning. Although the current longleaf pine-wiregrass ecosystem is fire dependent and has experienced frequent fire for at least several thousand years, we propose that the two endemic species may be remnants from a past vegetation assemblage that experienced less frequent fire and thus may be adapted to longer fire-return intervals compared to other species currently in the ecosystem. Despite the short-term negative effects of fire on the vital rates of these species, longer-term benefits such as reduction of woody encroachment and litter removal may be important for the ultimate success of the species.

AB - Sediment transport in wave-dominated environments is of great interest for dredged material placement, contaminated sediments, habitat protection, and other issues. The shear stress at the sediment-water interface during a wave event is an important parameter in determining erosion and transport for both experimental and model simulation applications. Sandia National Laboratories has developed a laboratory and field device called the sediment erosion actuated by wave oscillations and linear flow (SEAWOLF) flume in which high-resolution, particle-image velocimetry (PIV) has been applied to investigate turbulent flow shear stresses for a variety of flow conditions. The results of the PIV analysis for a wave cycle demonstrate a fully developed turbulent flow, relaminarization, and an explosive transition back to turbulence. In many cases, the results of the flume tests did not show good agreement with previously reported computational fluid dynamic results and existing theories, such as Blasius, for wave-current interactions, which raises the question of whether similar phenomena are present in real environments. These results implore more studies to be conducted with similarly high-resolution field measurements and modeling efforts to determine shear stress time history for oscillatory flows and the subsequent effects on erosion and sediment transport in wave-dominated environments.

AB - Rapid advances are being made in the creation and use of nanomaterials, but little is known about the impact these materials might have on key microbial functions if introduced into the environment. Previous studies have generated conflicting results with respect to the impact of fullerenes on microbial activity. In the present study, Salmonella typhimurium TA100 was selected as a model microbial system with which to investigate further the impact of C60 aggregates on microbial growth, mutagenicity, and global transcript expression. Aggregates of C60 predominantly less than 100 nm significantly impacted Salmonella growth at concentrations of ≥0.5 mg/L. In addition, C60 aggregates also displayed mutagenic potential at concentrations ≥0.1 mg/L. Transcript expression analysis of S. typhimurium TA100 exposed to C60 for 24 h indicated that 271 transcripts had significant differential expression relative to controls with twofold or more change. Of particular interest was the increased expression of transcripts coding for proteins involved in energy metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, transcription, and DNA metabolism, and the decreased expression of transcripts coding for proteins involved in protein fate, transport, and binding and bacterial secretion systems. Collectively, these data indicate that C60 interacts with the outer membrane of S. typhimurium TA100, resulting in delayed growth and mutagenicity, most likely by interfering with key transport functions and inducing a stress response, respectively.

AB - Explosive compounds, including known toxicants 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), are loaded to soils during military training. Their fate in soils is ultimately controlled by soil mineralogical and biogeochemical processes. We detonated pure mineral phases with Composition B, a mixture of TNT and RDX, and investigated the fate of detonation residues in aqueous slurries constructed from the detonated minerals. The pure minerals included Ottawa sand (quartz and calcite), microcline feldspar, phlogopite mica, muscovite mica, vermiculite clay, beidellite (a representative of the smectite clay group), and nontronite clay. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and gas adsorption surface area measurements were made of the pristine and detonated minerals. Batch slurries of detonated minerals and deionized water were sampled for 141 days and TNT, RDX, and TNT transformation products were measured from the aqueous samples and from the mineral substrates at day 141. Detonated samples generally exhibited lower gas adsorption surface areas than pristine ones, likely from residue coating, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion. TNT and RDX exhibited analyte loss in almost all batch solutions over time but loss was greater in vermiculite, beidellite, and phlogopite than in muscovite and quartz. This suggests common phyllosilicate mineral substrates could be used on military training ranges to minimize off-site migration of explosive residues. We present a conceptual model to represent the physical and chemical processes that occurred in our aqueous batches over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Currently, a number of organizations across the Gulf Coast are simultaneously collecting and distributing proprietary data. However, if Gulf Regional Sediment Management Master Plan (GRSMMP) users are to perform analysis efficiently and make effective, educated decisions to support various coastal projects, collaboration and data sharing at all levels of government and among the numerous shareholders must be established. One method of doing this is the implementation of an enterprise geographic information system (EGIS)-a geospatial technology infrastructure that delivers spatial information products, services, and standard data sets to all business elements and processes within and among organizations. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has developed and/or participated in a number of such enterprise GIS efforts, including the eCoastal, CE-Dredge, and Spatial Presentation Viewer programs. It is therefore proposed that the GRSMMP establish a firm data management plan and implement an organized, enterprise approach to data management through the use of Web Map Services (WMS). By including the publication of planned data acquisition, inventory of available offline data products, and direct access to organization flagship data sets, such a proposal would allow GRSMMP members to locate, connect to, view, and retrieve desirable data sets across many agencies, saving time and money previously dedicated to new data acquisition.

AB - Dredging activities are a potential source of sediment and should be considered in any conservation and restoration planning process. Wise use of sediment resources from dredging is integral to accomplishing the conservation and restoration initiatives and objectives being recommended under the Gulf of Mexico Alliance. Keeping dredged sediments within the natural system or using it in the construction of restoration projects can improve environmental conditions, provide storm damage protection, and contribute to habitat creation and restoration goals. Hundreds of millions of cubic yards of sediments are dredged each year from Gulf ports, harbors, and waterways, much of which could be used beneficially. Currently it is estimated that about 30% of all material dredged from federal channels in the Gulf states is used beneficially and very little of the privately funded dredging is used for beneficial purposes. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) conducts dredging under its navigation maintenance program and much of the dredging conducted is typically done on a scheduled and routine basis. Successful planning of beneficial-use projects utilizing USACE dredging necessitates the early coordination and work of multidisciplinary interagency teams on a regular basis. There is also a need to improve data access and management for dredging activities for use by project managers and planners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Development of dynamic regional sediment management (RSM) plans is needed for future planning, construction, and monitoring of wetland and barrier island restoration. Broadly speaking, RSM refers to the optimum use of various sediment resources (littoral, estuarine, and riverine) in an environmentally effective and economically feasible manner. Coordination of the supply and demand sides of sand resources in a comprehensive manner will be required as project planning develops and evolves. The sediment budget is a planning tool that provides an accounting of sediment sources, sinks, and pathways as well as engineering activities and sediment budgets have generally been characterized as conceptual, interim, and operational depending upon the quality of the data, the level of analysis, and the uncertainty associated with the volume fluxes in the sediment budget. This paper summarizes existing sediment budget data for the entire Northern Gulf of Mexico. The purpose of this work has been to compile available sediment budget data into a common geographic information system-based data management framework in order to address various sediment management issues related to restoration around the Gulf of Mexico. The regional sediment budget is comprehensive and current through year end 2008. Within the coastal management community, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of reliable sediment budgets to inform sediment management decisions. However more work is needed to refine the sediment budget and provide its appropriate place in coastal management decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A partnership has been instituted through the Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA) among the Gulf States to enhance the ecological and economic health of the Gulf of Mexico. Established under the GOMA, the Habitat Conservation and Restoration Team (HCRT) recognized that sediments are integral to and a critical resource in accomplishing the GOMA conservation and restoration objectives. As a result, the Gulf Regional Sediment Management Master Plan (GRSMMP) was initiated for managing sediment resources and corroborates the need for an understanding of regional sediment processes. The plan provides guidelines using the understanding of sediment dynamics to manage resources toward accomplishing environmental restoration, conservation, and preservation while enhancing abilities to make informed, management decisions. A key step in this process is the recognition of a technical framework that provides a foundation associated with regional sediment management processes essential for establishing management guidelines that balance sediment dynamics and available sediment resources with needs and that enhance abilities to make informed management decisions and develop regional strategies. Issues surrounding sediment management, both natural and dredged sediments, have a considerable impact on the ability to sustain coastal habitats. Sediment management must occur on a regional scale unencumbered by agency, state, or political boundaries. Guidelines and recommendations from this effort will aid the Gulf States in more effective management of sediment resources, recognizing they are a part of a regional system involving natural and man- made processes. The effort involves a range of state and federal agencies, as well as nongovernmental representatives. Thus, a technical framework for the GRSMMP was compiled/completed and submitted to the HCRT/GOMA. The decision was made to publish this document as peer-reviewed papers in a special issue of the Journal of Coastal Research for benefit of the global scientific community. In return, feedback in terms of review and comments will be beneficial for the team. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This review paper reports the consensus of a technical workshop hosted by the European network, NanoImpactNet (NIN). The workshop aimed to review the collective experience of working at the bench with manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs), and to recommend modifications to existing experimental methods and OECD protocols. Current procedures for cleaning glassware are appropriate for most MNMs, although interference with electrodes may occur. Maintaining exposure is more difficult with MNMs compared to conventional chemicals. A metal salt control is recommended for experiments with metallic MNMs that may release free metal ions. Dispersing agents should be avoided, but if they must be used, then natural or synthetic dispersing agents are possible, and dispersion controls essential. Time constraints and technology gaps indicate that full characterisation of test media during ecotoxicity tests is currently not practical. Details of electron microscopy, dark-field microscopy, a range of spectroscopic methods (EDX, XRD, XANES, EXAFS), light scattering techniques (DLS, SLS) and chromatography are discussed. The development of user-friendly software to predict particle behaviour in test media according to DLVO theory is in progress, and simple optical methods are available to estimate the settling behaviour of suspensions during experiments. However, for soil matrices such simple approaches may not be applicable. Alternatively, a Critical Body Residue approach may be taken in which body concentrations in organisms are related to effects, and toxicity thresholds derived. For microbial assays, the cell wall is a formidable barrier to MNMs and end points that rely on the test substance penetrating the cell may be insensitive. Instead assays based on the cell envelope should be developed for MNMs. In algal growth tests, the abiotic factors that promote particle aggregation in the media (e.g. ionic strength) are also important in providing nutrients, and manipulation of the media to control the dispersion may also inhibit growth. Controls to quantify shading effects, and precise details of lighting regimes, shaking or mixing should be reported in algal tests. Photosynthesis may be more sensitive than traditional growth end points for algae and plants. Tests with invertebrates should consider non-chemical toxicity from particle adherence to the organisms. The use of semi-static exposure methods with fish can reduce the logistical issues of waste water disposal and facilitate aspects of animal husbandry relevant to MMNs. There are concerns that the existing bioaccumulation tests are conceptually flawed for MNMs and that new test(s) are required. In vitro testing strategies, as exemplified by genotoxicity assays, can be modified for MNMs, but the risk of false negatives in some assays is highlighted. In conclusion, most protocols will require some modifications and recommendations are made to aid the researcher at the bench. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Two-dimensional tidal flows within the Lake Pontchartrain-Lake Borgne area (Louisiana) are simulated to assess the effects of the surge protection structure on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) on navigation conditions. The region of interest is modeled with a shallow-water, depth-averaged, finite-element model. The water levels and discharge are analyzed at a location in the GIWW to ascertain model behavior. It is shown that the presence of the structure produces infrequent increases in velocities in the GIWW, which can be mitigated by a proposed structure near Lake Pontchartrain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A total of 25 small-scale laboratory experiments simulating combined wave overtopping and storm-surge overflow on a trapezoidal levee were conducted at a nominal prototype-to-model scale of NL=25. Time series measurements of irregular and unsteady flow thickness and velocity were acquired at two locations on the landward-side, 1V : 3H slope. These measurements were used to calculate the time series of instantaneous shear stress representing the average over a 4.8-m-long (prototype scale) levee slope between the two measurement locations. Empirical relationships are presented for estimating the mean shear stresses for steady overflow and for combined wave and surge overtopping. For the latter case, additional formulas are given for estimating representative parameters of the irregular shear stress peaks associated with individual overtopping waves. The collected data were intended primarily for the design of rapidly deployable levee armoring systems; however, the data could also be used to evaluate the erosion of soil or vegetated levees and dikes.

AB - Construction of six large dams and reservoirs on the Missouri River over the last 50-75 years has resulted in major landscape changes and alterations in flow patterns, with implications for riparian forests dominated by plains cottonwood ( Populus deltoides). We quantified changes in land cover from 1892-1950s and the 1950s-2006 and the current extent and age structure of cottonwood forests on seven segments (two reservoir and five remnant floodplain) comprising 1127 km (53 %) of the unchannelized upper two-thirds of the Missouri River. Riparian forest area declined by 49 %; grassland 61 %; shrubland 52 %; and sandbar habitat 96 %; while agricultural cropland increased six-fold and river/reservoir surface area doubled from 1892 to 2006. Net rates of erosion and accretion declined between the 1892-1950s and 1950s-2006 periods. Accretion exceeded erosion on remnant floodplain segments, resulting in declines in active channel width, particularly in 1950s-2006. Across all study segments in 2006, most cottonwood stands (67 %) were >50 years old, 22 % were 25-50 years old, and only 10 % were <25 years old. Among stands <50 years old, the higher proportion of 25-50 year old stands represents recruitment that accompanied initial post-dam channel narrowing; while declines in sandbar and shrubland area and the low proportion of stands <25 years old suggest declines in geomorphic dynamism and limited recruitment under recent river management. Future conservation and restoration efforts should focus both on limiting further loss of remnant cottonwood stands and developing approaches to restore river dynamics and cottonwood recruitment processes.

AB - The Hayes classification of tidal inlet geomorphic type and the distances from the inlet to the most seaward and down-drift extents of ebb deltas are examined. For this purpose, a database was compiled for 89 tidal inlets along the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific Ocean coasts of the United States. The database contains spring or diurnal tidal prism and the average significant wave height and wave period from a 20-year hindcast. The Hayes diagram aims to classify inlet plan- view morphology by tide range and wave height. Based on the work presented here, it is concluded that the inlet classification of Hayes has limited applicability for describing the morphology of typical tidal inlets, and replacement of tide range by inlet tidal prism did not improve the classification. Best correlation for the two ebb delta extents was found for inlets segregated by wave exposure (as mild, moderate, or high) and by tidal prism. There was poor or no correlation for moderately wave-exposed inlets, and moderate to high correlation was found for mildly and highly exposed inlets. The seaward and down-drift extents of inlets tend to remain constant up to a tidal prism less than 108 m3, depending on wave exposure, and then increase linearly with tidal prism. It is postulated that a tidal prism less than approximately 108 m3 is a tipping point required to overcome other factors controlling tidal inlet plan-form morphology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Early detection of an invading nonindigenous plant species (NIS) may be critical for efficient and effective management. Adaptive survey sampling methods may provide unbiased sampling for best estimates of distribution of rare and spatially clustered populations of plants in the early stages of invasion. However, there are few examples of these methods being used for nonnative plant surveys in which travelling distances away from an initial or source patch, or away from a road or trail, can be time consuming due to the topography and vegetation. Nor is there guidance as to which of the many adaptive methods would be most appropriate as a basis for invasive plant mapping and subsequent management. Here we used an empirical complete census of four invader species in early to middle stages of invasion in a management area to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of three nonadaptive methods, four adaptive cluster methods, and four adaptive web sampling methods that all originated from transects. The adaptive methods generally sampled more NIS-occupied cells and patches than standard transect approaches. Sampling along roads only was time-efficient and effective, but only for species with restricted distribution along the roads. When populations were more patchy and dispersed over the landscape the adaptive cluster starting at the road generally proved to be the most time-efficient and effective NIS detection method.

AB - The highly toxic organophosphorus compound VX [O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl]methylphosphonate] is an irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Prolonged inhibition of AChE increases endogenous levels of acetylcholine and is toxic at nerve synapses and neuromuscular junctions. We hypothesized that repeated exposure to sublethal doses of VX would affect genes associated with cell survival, neuronal plasticity, and neuronal remodeling, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). We examined the time course of BDNF expression in C57BL/6 mouse brain following repeated exposure (1/day × 5 days/week × 2 weeks) to sublethal doses of VX (0.2 LD50 and 0.4 LD50). BDNF messenger RNA expression was significantly (p < 0.05) elevated in multiple brain regions, including the dentate gyrus, CA3, and CA1 regions of the hippocampal formation, as well as the piriform cortex, hypothalamus, amygdala, and thalamus, 72 h after the last 0.4 LD50 VX exposure. BDNF protein expression, however, was only increased in the CA3 region of the hippocampus. Whether increased BDNF in response to sublethal doses of VX exposure is an adaptive response to prevent cellular damage or a precursor to impending brain damage remains to be determined. If elevated BDNF is an adaptive response, exogenous BDNF may be a potential therapeutic target to reduce the toxic effects of nerve agent exposure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Factors used in environmental remedial decision making concerning ecological risk are not well understood or necessarily consistent. Recent Records of Decision (RODs) for Army CERCLA sites were reviewed to select case studies where remedial management occurred in response to ecological risks. Thirty-four Army RODs were evaluated representing decisions promulgated between 1996 and 2004. Five were selected based on assessments that remedial actions were clearly linked to concern for ecological receptors. The Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) approach and the subsequent risk management process were reviewed for each site. The case studies demonstrated that the ERA findings, as well as critical management decisions regarding interpretation of identified ecological risks, were determinants of remedial action objectives. Decisions regarding the selection of remedial alternatives were based on a set of criteria prescribed by Superfund requirements and guidance. Remedial alternative evaluations require protection of human health and the environment, but protective conditions were determined using different methods at each site. Examining the remedial management process for the 5 case study sites revealed that uncertainty in the risk assessment and decisions regarding appropriate spatial scales for both risk assessment and remediation were important factors influencing remedial action decisions. The case reviews also revealed that levels of documentation were variable from site to site. In the future, more detailed documentation of decision criteria and the development of criteria that consider the resilience of the site will result in more technically defensible ecological risk management.

AB - Contaminated sediments are a pervasive problem in the United States. Significant economic, ecological, and social issues are intertwined in addressing the nation's contaminated sediment problem. Managing contaminated sediments has become increasingly resource intensive, with some investigations costing tens of millions of dollars and the majority of remediation projects proceeding at a slow pace. At present, the approaches typically used to investigate, evaluate, and remediate contaminated sediment sites in the United States have largely fallen short of producing timely, risk-based, cost-effective, long-term solutions. With the purpose of identifying opportunities for accelerating progress at contaminated sediment sites, the US Army Corps of Engineers-Engineer Research and Development Center and the Sediment Management Work Group convened a workshop with experienced experts from government, industry, consulting, and academia. Workshop participants identified 5 actions that, if implemented, would accelerate the progress and increase the effectiveness of risk management at contaminated sediment sites. These actions included: 1) development of a detailed and explicit project vision and accompanying objectives, achievable short-term and long-term goals, and metrics of remedy success at the outset of a project, with refinement occurring as needed throughout the duration of the project; 2) strategic engagement of stakeholders in a more direct and meaningful process; 3) optimization of risk reduction, risk management processes, and remedy selection addressing 2 important elements: a) the deliberate use of early action remedies, where appropriate, to accelerate risk reduction; and b) the systematic and sequential development of a suite of actions applicable to the ultimate remedy, starting with monitored natural recovery and adding engineering actions as needed to satisfy the project's objectives; 4) an incentive process that encourages and rewards risk reduction; and 5) pursuit of sediment remediation projects as a public-private collaborative enterprise. These 5 actions provide a clear path for connecting current US regulatory guidance to improved practices that produce better applications of science and risk management and more effective and efficient solutions at contaminated sediment sites.

AB - Objective: A military multitasking environment was simulated to examine the effects of an intelligent agent, RoboLeader, on the performance of robotics operators.Background: The participants’ task was to manage a team of ground robots with the assistance of RoboLeader, an intelligent agent capable of coordinating the robots and changing their routes on the basis of battlefield developments.Method: In the first experiment, RoboLeader was perfectly reliable; in the second experiment, RoboLeader’s recommendations were manipulated to be either false-alarm prone or miss prone, with a reliability level of either 60% or 90%. The visual density of the targeting environment was manipulated by the presence or absence of friendly soldiers.Results: RoboLeader, when perfectly reliable, was helpful in reducing the overall mission times. The type of RoboLeader imperfection (false-alarm vs. miss prone) affected operators’ performance of tasks involving visual scanning (target detection, route editing, and situation awareness). There was a consistent effect of visual density (clutter of the visual scene) for multiple performance measures. Participants’ attentional control and video gaming experience affected their overall multitasking performance. In both experiments, participants with greater spatial ability consistently outperformed their low-spatial-ability counterparts in tasks that required effective visual scanning.Conclusion: Intelligent agents, such as RoboLeader, can benefit the overall human-robot teaming performance. However, the effects of type of agent unreliability, tasking requirements, and individual differences have complex effects on human-agent interaction.Application: The current results will facilitate the implementation of robots in military settings and will provide useful data to designs of systems for multirobot control.

AB - Editor's Hightlight: Ricin is a highly toxic agent that could be utilized as a bioterrorism weapon. This study tested the efficacy of two different recombinant ricin subunit vaccines to protect against ricin administered via inhalation exposure. Both vaccines were found to be effective in preventing the lethal effects of ricin exposure. This study supports the potential use of ricin vaccines in human populations at risk of ricin exposure.Ricin, isolated from the castor bean plant Ricinus communis, is included on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Category B list of bioterrorism agents, indicating that the toxin is moderately easy to disseminate and could result in moderate morbidity rates. This study evaluated two promising recombinant ricin subunit vaccines, one made using an Escherichia coli codon–optimized gene and the other using a yeast codon–optimized gene in E. coli-based fermentations. Rabbits were vaccinated four times over a period of 6 months and challenged with ∼10 to 30 times the median lethal dose of aerosolized ricin. All unvaccinated control rabbits were either found dead or humanely euthanized within 30 h postchallenge, while the rabbits vaccinated with either vaccine survived the exposure without adverse clinical signs. When the protective antibody responses were analyzed, no significant difference was seen between the two vaccines. However, there was a significant difference in the immune response over time for both vaccines tested. Although clinical pathology was unremarkable, significant histological lesions in the control animals included fibrinonecrotic pneumonia, acute necrotizing lesions in the upper respiratory tract, and necrotizing lymphadenitis in the lymph nodes draining the upper and lower respiratory tract. Vaccine-treated rabbits exhibited resolving lesions associated with ricin exposure, namely chronic inflammation in the upper respiratory tract and lungs, fibrosis, type II pneumocyte hyperplasia, and bronchiolitis obliterans. This study confirmed the safety and efficacy of two recombinant ricin subunit vaccines in rabbits, offering potential protection to warfighters and select populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Varying degrees of connectivity between side channels and the main river channel are vital for sustainable ecological processes and functions for both aquatic and terrestrial communities. Within the Mississippi River, restoring side channel functional diversity is a top priority for many natural resource agencies. Buffalo Chute, located at river kilometer 41, is one of the several side channels, island complexes that becomes isolated from the main channel during low river stages leading to thermal and chemical stratifications and anoxic conditions. The purpose of this study was to better understand the impacts of side-channel isolation in the middle Mississippi River (MMR) by measuring fish community and water quality characteristics within an isolated waterbody. Therefore, we selected Buffalo Chute a representative side channel of the MMR to document water quality and fish community characteristics. Water quality measurements were summarized for the 2-year study. Thermal and chemical stratifications coupled with high water temperatures and anoxic conditions were observed in both years during summer. Oxygen reduction potential was lower in summer than winter, which could be attributed to excessive growth of microorganisms and increased biological oxygen demand. Specific conductivity, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and chlorophyll a were higher in summer compared to winter. Differences in water quality characteristics may have resulted in lower mean fish species richness, diversity, and evenness observed during the following winter. We surveyed 45 sites over 2 years using multiple gears to assess fish assemblage characteristics. The data collected in Buffalo Chute provide some insight into how isolated side channels function during low flow periods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - To facilitate the design of seismic remediation for Tuttle Creek Dam in east central Kansas, a seismic finite difference analysis of the dam was performed using the software FLAC and the UBCSAND and UBCTOT soil constitutive models. The FLAC software has a key advantage because it can use calibrated site-specific constitutive models. Earlier deformation analyses using a hyperbolic constitutive model for the foundation fine-grained materials did not properly represent the modulus and strength reduction and predicted extremely large permanent deformations. Cyclic triaxial laboratory tests using high-quality samples and in situ vane shear tests were used to calibrate the FLAC constitutive model herein. The resulting FLAC analysis of the unremediated dam predicted an upstream slope toe deformation of about 0.6 m, a crest settlement of about 0.6 m, and a downstream slope toe deformation of about 1.5 m using the design ground motion. Based on the estimated permanent deformations and other factors, it was decided that the anticipated upstream slope and crest deformations were tolerable and only the downstream slope had to be remediated to protect the downstream seepage control system.

AB - Dans le but d'assister la conception de la réhabilitation sismique du barrage de Tuttle Creek dans le centre est du Kansas, une analyse sismique du barrage par différence finie a été réalisée à l'aide du logiciel FLAC et des modèles constitutifs de sols UBCSAND et UBCTOT. Le logiciel FLAC est avantageux puisqu'il peut utiliser des modèles constitutifs calibrés pour un site spécifique. Des analyses antérieures faites avec un modèle constitutif hyperbolique pour des matériaux fins de fondation n'a pas pu représenter adéquatement la réduction du module et de la résistance et a prédit des déformations permanentes extrêmement grandes. Pour la présente étude, des essais triaxiaux cycliques en laboratoire avec des échantillons de qualité élevée et des essais scissométriques in situ ont été utilisés pour calibrer le modèle constitutif de FLAC. L'analyse par FLAC du barrage non réhabilité a prédit une déformation du pied de la pente en amont d'environ 0,6 m, un tassement de la crête d'environ 0,6 m, et une déformation du pied de la pente en aval d'environ 1,5 m, et ce, en utilisant les mouvements du sol de conception. Basé sur les déformations permanentes estimées et d'autres facteurs, il a été décidé que les déformations anticipées sur la pente en amont et sur la crête sont tolérables et que seulement la pente en aval doit être réhabilitée afin de protéger le système de contrôle des exfiltrations en aval.

AB - The Howard A. Hanson Dam (HHD) has brought flood protection to Washington's Green River Valley for more than 40 years and opened the way for increased valley development near Seattle. However, following a record high level of water behind the dam in January 2009 and the discovery of elevated seepage through the dam's abutment, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers declared the dam 'unsafe.' NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) and National Weather Service (NWS) worked together to respond rapidly to this crisis for the 2009/10 winter season, drawing from innovations developed in NWS offices and in NOAA's Hydrometeorology Test-bed (HMT). New data telemetry was added to 14 existing surface rain gauges, allowing the gauge data to be ingested into the NWS rainfall database. The NWS Seattle Weather Forecast Office produced customized daily forecasts, including longer-lead-time hydrologic outlooks and new decision support services tailored for emergency managers and the public, new capabilities enabled by specialized products from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and from HMT. The NOAA Physical Sciences Division (PSD) deployed a group of specialized instruments on the Washington coast and near the HHD that constituted two atmospheric river (AR) observatories (AROs) and conducted special HMT numerical model forecast runs. Atmospheric rivers are narrow corridors of enhanced water vapor transport in extratropical oceanic storms that can produce heavy orographic precipitation and anomalously high snow levels, and thus can trigger flooding. The AROs gave forecasters detailed vertical profile observations of AR conditions aloft, including monitoring of real-time water vapor transport and comparison with model runs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Charles Dickens's Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839) is arguably the author's most melodramatic novel, as Dickens adopts the grandiloquence and histrionic hyperbole of Victorian melodrama. The narrator repeatedly defines the principal conflict between Nicholas and Ralph in melodramatic terms, and both of these characters (along with the helpless and noble-hearted heroines, Kate Nickleby and Madeline Bray) possess traits that were commonly found in the characters that populated the Victorian stage. Nevertheless, Dickens also satirizes the conventions of melodrama through his humorous depiction of the Crummles Theatre Company; Mr Crummles's wry observations about how to manipulate audience sympathies are humorously applicable to Dickens's narrator, and thus to Dickens himself. This dialectic between the genuinely melodramatic elements of the text and the pastiche of melodrama sets up the tensions that would define the most famous and acclaimed adaptation of Dickens's novel: The Royal Shakespeare Company's Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (1980). This epic adaptation dramatizes the complete Dickensian text (including the narrator's narrative prose), but simultaneously eschews the conventions of Victorian melodrama in favour of modern and postmodern performance techniques. The musical score to the RSC adaptation epitomizes this contrast, for composer Stephen Oliver's score embraces the conventions of Victorian theatre music while simultaneously drawing attention to the absurdity of many of these conventions; although the primary purpose of Oliver's music is to provide melodramatic underscoring that reinforces the emotion of each scene, the composer likewise incorporates diegetic interludes and randomly placed songs that disrupt the continuity of the Dickensian narrative and draw the audience's attention to the 'falseness' of what is transpiring onstage. The sense of pastiche and Brechtian parody conveyed through songs such as 'Mrs. Grudden's Goodbye' and 'The Patriotic Song' further links the adaptation to its Dickensian source, as these pastiches, like the pastiches in Dickens's own text, are directly connected to the Crummles family.

Survivors of EVD donated plasma anywhere from 2 months to 6 months or more after they had recovered. Substantial immune activation and robust B-cell and T-cell responses have been observed in patients with acute EVD and in some patients during convalescence,(2) although humoral response has not been thoroughly studied in EVD. We have found that in convalescent patients, specific neutralizing activity against Ebola virus glycoprotein . . .

AB - Located in Terrell County, 16 kilometers (10 miles) northeast of Dryden, Texas, Camp Mayers Spring served as a small U.S. Army sub-post of Fort Clark from September 1880 to July 1884. Built on a ranch owned by Lieutenant John Lapham Bullis, the outpost protected a reliable water source today called Meyers Spring, and guarded both a new road to Fort Davis and the construction of a portion of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Established by a company of the 1st Infantry Regiment, the post was garrisoned by rotating companies of the 8th Cavalry and the Detachment of Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts. The diary of Lieutenant Francis Henry French, commanding the Detachment of Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts at Camp Mayers Spring, gives historians a very detailed, accurate, and colorful picture of life at the outpost.

AB - Mentored individuals across disciplines consistently report more positive training and career-related satisfaction and outcomes than nonmentored individuals. Although there is a significant amount of research related to mentoring in the fields of education, nursing, business, and medical professions, there is a dearth of research on the implementation and effectiveness of mentoring programs in clinical psychology training programs, such as internships and postdoctoral fellowships (Green & Hawkley, 2009). Few, if any, studies have examined the feasibility and potential impact of developing mentoring programs in predoctoral and postdoctoral clinical psychology training sites. The current article seeks to address this gap in the literature by discussing the development and implementation of a mentoring program for clinical psychology postdoctoral fellows and predoctoral interns in a 1-year training program at a large Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The benefits of having a mentoring relationship that is independent of clinical supervision are discussed. Implications for mentoring in similar clinical training programs and considerations for developing a mentoring program will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Summary .— When navigating, people tend to overestimate distances when routes contain more turns, termed the route-angularity eff ect . Three experiments examined the source and generality of this eff ect. The fi rst two experiments examined whether route-angularity eff ects occur while viewing maps and might be related to sex diff erences or sense of direction. The third experiment tested whether the route-angularity eff ect would occur with stimuli devoid of spatial context, reducing infl uences of environmental experience and visual complexity. In the three experiments, participants ( N = 1,552; M = 32.2 yr.; 992 men, 560 women) viewed paths plotted on maps (Exps. 1 and 2) or against a blank background (Exp. 3). The depicted paths were always the same overall length, but varied in the number of turns (from 1 to 7) connecting an origin and destination. Participants were asked to estimate the time to traverse each path (Exp. 1) or the length of each path (Exps. 2 and 3). The Santa Barbara Sense of Direction questionnaire was administered to assess whether overall spatial sense of direction would be negatively related to the magnitude of the route-angularity eff ect. Repeated-measures analyses of variance (ANOVAs) indicated that paths with more turns elicited estimates of greater distance and travel times, whether they were depicted on maps or blank backgrounds. Linear regressions also indicated that these eff ects were signifi cantly larger in those with a relatively low sense of direction. The results support the route-angularity eff ect and extend it to paths plotted on map-based stimuli. Furthermore, because the route-angularity eff ect was shown with paths plotted against blank backgrounds, route-angularity eff ects are not specifi c to understanding environments and may arise at the level of visual perception.

AB - Oxidation behavior of dodecane and two mixtures of dodecane and m-xylene (90/10 wt.% and 80/20 wt.%) over an Rh catalyst in a meso-scale heat recirculating combustor was examined to isolate the effect of aromatic content on performance. The fuel conversion, product selectivities, and reaction kinetics were calculated, and the global combustion behavior observed. The results showed that increasing the amount of m-xylene in the fuel increased the fuel conversion from 85% (pure dodecane) to 92% (90/10) and further to 98% (80/20). The presence of xylene also significantly increased CO 2 /H 2 O selectivity and decreased CO/H 2 selectivity. Global activation energy increased linearly with increase in xylene content, supporting that addition of aromatic species to fuel lowers the overall reactivity. The non-catalytic reaction was also simulated using Chemkin software to determine the effect of the Rh catalyst on the combustor performance and to analyze the difference in chemical mechanisms. The results revealed that the catalyst promotes total oxidation over partial oxidation, and lowers the global activation energy by up to 70%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) after nerve agent exposure induces status epilepticus (SE), which causes brain damage or death. The development of countermeasures appropriate for the pediatric population requires testing of anticonvulsant treatments in immature animals. In the present study, exposure of 21-day-old (P21) rats to different doses of soman, followed by probit analysis, produced an LD 50 of 62 μg/kg. The onset of behaviorally-observed SE was accompanied by a dramatic decrease in brain AChE activity; rats who did not develop SE had significantly less reduction of AChE activity in the basolateral amygdala than rats who developed SE. Atropine sulfate (ATS) at 2 mg/kg, administered 20 min after soman exposure (1.2 × LD 50 ), terminated seizures. ATS at 0.5 mg/kg, given along with an oxime within 1 min after exposure, allowed testing of anticonvulsants at delayed time-points. The AMPA/GluK1 receptor antagonist LY293558, or the specific GluK1 antagonist UBP302, administered 1 h post-exposure, terminated SE. There were no degenerating neurons in soman-exposed P21 rats, but both the amygdala and the hippocampus were smaller than in control rats at 30 and 90 days post-exposure; this pathology was not present in rats treated with LY293558. Behavioral deficits present at 30 days post-exposure, were also prevented by LY293558 treatment. Thus, in immature animals, a single injection of atropine is sufficient to halt nerve agent-induced seizures, if administered timely. Testing anticonvulsants at delayed time-points requires early administration of ATS at a low dose, sufficient to counteract only peripheral toxicity. LY293558 administered 1 h post-exposure, prevents brain pathology and behavioral deficits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Dredging to maintain navigable waterways is important for supporting trade and economic sustainability. Dredged sediments are removed from the waterways and then must be managed in a way that meets regulatory standards and properly balances management costs and risks. Selection of a best management alternative often results in stakeholder conflict regarding tradeoffs between local environmental impacts associated with less expensive alternatives (e.g., open water placement), more expensive measures that require sediment disposal in constructed facilities far away (e.g., landfills), or beneficial uses that may be perceived as risky (e.g., beach nourishment or island creation). Current sediment-placement decisions often focus on local and immediate environmental effects from the sediment itself, ignoring a variety of distributed and long-term effects from transportation and placement activities. These extended effects have implications for climate change, resource consumption, and environmental and human health, which may be meaningful topics for many stakeholders not currently considered. Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a systematic and quantitative method for accounting for this wider range of impacts and benefits across all sediment management project stages and time horizons. This paper applies a cradle-to-use LCA to dredged-sediment placement through a comparative analysis of potential upland, open water, and containment-island placement alternatives in the Long Island Sound region of NY/CT. Results suggest that, in cases dealing with uncontaminated sediments, upland placement may be the most environmentally burdensome alternative, per ton-kilometer of placed material, due to the emissions associated with diesel fuel combustion and electricity production and consumption required for the extra handling and transportation. These results can be traded-off with the ecosystem impacts of the sediments themselves in a decision-making framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This work advances a unified approach to process-based hydrologic modeling to enable controlled and systematic evaluation of multiple model representations (hypotheses) of hydrologic processes and scaling behavior. Our approach, which we term the Structure for Unifying Multiple Modeling Alternatives (SUMMA), formulates a general set of conservation equations, providing the flexibility to experiment with different spatial representations, different flux parameterizations, different model parameter values, and different time stepping schemes. In this paper, we introduce the general approach used in SUMMA, detailing the spatial organization and model simplifications, and how different representations of multiple physical processes can be combined within a single modeling framework. We discuss how SUMMA can be used to systematically pursue the method of multiple working hypotheses in hydrology. In particular, we discuss how SUMMA can help tackle major hydrologic modeling challenges, including defining the appropriate complexity of a model, selecting among competing flux parameterizations, representing spatial variability across a hierarchy of scales, identifying potential improvements in computational efficiency and numerical accuracy as part of the numerical solver, and improving understanding of the various sources of model uncertainty.

AB - Residue-free decontaminants based on hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes to water and oxygen in the environment, are examined as decontaminants for chemical warfare agents (CWA). For the apparent special case of CWA on concrete, H2O2 alone, without any additives, effectively decontaminates S-2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl O-ethyl methylphosphonothioate (VX), pinacolyl methylphosphorofluoridate (GD), and bis(2-choroethyl) sulfide (HD) in a process thought to involve H2O2 activation by surface-bound carbonates/bicarbonates (known H2O2 activators for CWA decontamination). A plethora of products are formed during the H2O2 decontamination of HD on concrete, and these are characterized by comparison to synthesized authentic compounds. As a potential residue-free decontaminant for surfaces other than concrete (or those lacking adsorbed carbonate/bicarbonate) H2O2 activation for CWA decontamination is feasible using residue-free NH3 and CO2 as demonstrated by reaction studies for VX, GD, and HD in homogeneous solution. Although H2O2/NH3/CO2 ("HPAC") decontaminants are active for CWA decontamination in solution, they require testing on actual surfaces of interest to assess their true efficacy for surface decontamination.

AB - Emissions from open detonation (OD), open burning (OB), and static firing (SF) of obsolete military munitions were collected using an aerostat-lofted sampling instrument maneuvered into the plumes with remotely controlled tether winches. PM 2.5 , PM 10 , metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), energetics, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were characterized from 121 trials of three different munitions (Composition B (hereafter, “Comp B”), V453, V548), 152 trials of five different propellants (M31A1E1, M26, SPCF, Arc 451, 452A), and 12 trials with static firing of ammonium perchlorate-containing Sparrow rocket motors. Sampling was conducted with operational charge sizes and under open area conditions to determine emission levels representative of actual disposal practices. The successful application of the tethered aerostat and sampling instruments demonstrated the ability to sample for and determine the first ever emission factors for static firing of rocket motors and buried and metal-cased OD, as well as the first measurements of PM 2.5 for OB and for surface OD.

AB - At least two seagrass congeners in the genus Zostera are found along the Pacific Coast of North America: native Zostera marina L. and the non-native Zostera japonica Aschers. & Graebn. Efforts to understand the drivers behind the expanding colonization of Z. japonica have led to interest in the biology and ecology of this species. In most locations where they co-occur, these species exhibit a disjunct vertical zonation. We experimentally consider the influence of pulsed temperature effects on Z. japonica growth as a driver of vertical zonation. In mesocosm tanks seagrass planting units were cycled from ambient to treatment temperatures (8, 20, 32 °C) of variable duration (2, 6, 12, 24 h) each day for 10 d and then growth was assessed. Leaf elongation and growth rates exhibited strong, statistically significant relationships with increasing duration of exposure to 20 °C. Plants exposed to continuous 20 °C temperatures grew 2.5 times faster than plants exposed to 20 °C for 2 h. Likewise, plants exposed to continuous 8 °C temperatures grew 2.5 times slower than plants at 8 °C for 2 h. Plants exposed to 32 °C maintained fairly constant growth and elongation rates regardless of the duration of exposure. Field data indicate that Z. japonica and Z. marina experience different thermal regimes in the same estuary. We suggest that intertidal zonation patterns of Z. japonica in North America are predominantly driven by seagrass temperature responses; increased duration of exposure to cold water temperatures appears to limit expansion of the Z. japonica bed lower boundary to the mid-intertidal. Additionally, we recognize characteristics that may be useful to identifying systems susceptible to colonization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Fish gill is the site for many crucial physiological functions. It is among the first sites of xenobiotic exposure, and gill histopathological alterations may be detected soon after toxicant exposure. Silver (Ag) is one of the most toxic metals to aquatic organisms mainly due to its ability to disrupt ionic regulation. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of ionic and nanoscale Ag on fathead minnow gills by examining gill histology and Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity. Fathead minnows were exposed to two measured concentrations of silver nitrate (AgNO3: 1.3 or 3.7 μg/L as Ag+), citrate silver nanoparticles (citrate-AgNP: 15 or 39 μg/L), and polyvinylpyrrolidone-AgNP (PVP-AgNP) (AgNP: 11 or 50 μg/L). Circulatory disturbances were the most prevalent gill alterations detected and were significantly increased in all Ag treatment groups compared to control. AgNO3(1.3 μg/L) was the only treatment that significantly elevated the number of total mucous goblet cells present. In all other Ag treatments, the percent of degenerated goblet cells was significantly increased compared to control. When the sum of all histopathological abnormalities (weighted index) was calculated, all Ag groups displayed a significantly higher index, with citrate-AgNP having the highest toxicity (index of 10 ± 0.32 versus 2.4 ± 0.6 in controls). Gill Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactivity was decreased by Ag. These results indicated that both AgNO3and AgNP created similar disruptions in gill structure and ionic regulation, possibly due to the ionic Ag portion of each treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We have developed a one-dimensional numerical method to simulate infiltration and redistribution in the presence of a shallow dynamic water table. This method builds upon the Green-Ampt infiltration with Redistribution (GAR) model and incorporates features from the Talbot-Ogden (T-O) infiltration and redistribution method in a discretized moisture content domain. The redistribution scheme is more physically meaningful than the capillary weighted redistribution scheme in the T-O method. Groundwater dynamics are considered in this new method instead of hydrostatic groundwater front. It is also computationally more efficient than the T-O method. Motion of water in the vadose zone due to infiltration, redistribution, and interactions with capillary groundwater are described by ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions to these equations are computationally less expensive than solutions of the highly nonlinear Richards' (1931) partial differential equation. We present results from numerical tests on 11 soil types using multiple rain pulses with different boundary conditions, with and without a shallow water table and compare against the numerical solution of Richards' equation (RE). Results from the new method are in satisfactory agreement with RE solutions in term of ponding time, deponding time, infiltration rate, and cumulative infiltrated depth. The new method, which we call 'GARTO' can be used as an alternative to the RE for 1-D coupled surface and groundwater models in general situations with homogeneous soils with dynamic water table. The GARTO method represents a significant advance in simulating groundwater surface water interactions because it very closely matches the RE solution while being computationally efficient, with guaranteed mass conservation, and no stability limitations that can affect RE solvers in the case of a near-surface water table.

AB - During military contingency operations, aircraft are required to land, taxi, and takeoff on unpaved surfaces. In some cases, operational time limitations do not allow for the construction of paved surfaces to establish airfield operations. The original flexible pavement design procedure for paved surfaces, which is based on the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and the -factor (Alpha-factor), was extended and applied to the design and evaluation of aggregate-surfaced pavements. With the reformulation of the CBR-Alpha for the design of flexible pavements, efforts were also directed at defining a new equation for the design of aggregate-surfaced airfields. This paper focuses on the development of a new CBR-Beta procedure for the design and evaluation of aggregate-surfaced airfields. Data from previous studies conducted on aggregate-surfaced full-scale test sections were used for this purpose. The new performance curve proposed in this paper for aggregate-surfaced airfields has the same format as the equation that was proposed and accepted for flexible pavements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In 1900, the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) was opened to reverse the flow of the Chicago River and divert wastewater away from Lake Michigan and toward the Mississippi River. This reversal has been a public health success, but the CSSC and other components of the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS) have become conduits for invasive species to move between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins. The Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study evaluated methods to prevent the migration of invasive species between the basins. The DUFLOW model was adapted to simulate water quality in the CAWS. This model is used to simulate conditions in the CAWS for the No Project (NP), Lakefront Separation (LS), and Midsystem Separation (MS) alternatives. Three representative water years (wet year, dry year, and normal year) are considered to compare the dissolved oxygen (DO) results and pollutant loads to Lake Michigan for the alternatives. The LS alternative results in large increases in noncompliance with DO standards with increases greater than 1000 h for several locations. The MS alternative results in large increases in noncompliance with DO standards in the waterways made stagnant by the placement of barriers with the Calumet-Sag Channel experiencing increases greater than 1000 h for nearly all locations evaluated. The loads to Lake Michigan for the MS alternative are greatly increased compared to the NP alternative with even the dry year modeled yielding loads of nitrogen, phosphorus, and chloride, 5.7, 0.73, and 150 million kg, respectively.

AB - Current CE-QUAL-W2 mainly simulates hydrodynamics and eutrophication processes in the water column. The benthic sediment processes and sediment–water interactions have been neglected or very much simplified using zero-order and first-order rates. In this study a benthic sediment diagenesis module was developed and integrated into CE-QUAL-W2. Enhanced CE-QUAL-W2 was capable of simulating the dynamic releases of ammonium, nitrate, phosphorus, dissolved silica and dissolved methane from the sediment to the overlying water, as well as benthic sediment oxygen demand. The oxidation of sulfides is included for salt water sediments. The ability of CE-QUAL-W2 model to correctly predict sediment–water nutrient fluxes and sediment oxygen demand was evaluated against SedFlux and CE-QUAL-ICM models through a series of case studies. These case studies were chosen for representing various sedimentation and environmental conditions. The simulated sediment–water nutrient fluxes and sediment oxygen demand over time were generally in good agreement with these two model results for all data sets. The effect of benthic sediment diffusive thickness, particle mixing coefficients on nutrient releases from sediments and sediment oxygen demand were examined. Enhanced CE-QUAL-W2 model was also applied to the Lower Minnesota River for further evaluating its performance. This paper presents the sediment diagenesis module development, validation tests and application of the enhanced CE-QUAL-W2 model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Shallow-water habitat is hypothesized to provide nursery habitat for young fish. The construction of side-channel chutes to restore shallow-water habitat is common in the lower Missouri River; however, a recent adaptive management strategy document (developed by a multiagency, multidiscipline team), as well as previous research, has suggested that the accessibility of chutes to age-0Scaphirhynchusspp. (sturgeon hereafter) may be limited. Access is a critical prerequisite for young fish utilizing chute habitat; thus, we investigated chute-specific accessibility for age-0 sturgeon at seven chutes (constructed and natural). Age-0 sturgeon were capable of accessing most chutes; however, accessibility appeared limited at sites with highly restrictive inlet structures. Our results suggest that future consideration of chute inlet designs that meet authorized Missouri River purposes while providing improved fish access is warranted. Additionally, capture sites for exogenously feeding age-0 sturgeon were usually deeper (>1.5 m) and faster (>0.5 m/s) than sites without sturgeon in chute and adjacent main-stem habitats. This finding is consistent with previous research that suggests that slow and shallow habitats may not be used by age-0 sturgeon as frequently as other habitat types in the lower Missouri River.

AB - Density functional theory (DFT) was used to study water dissociation on the Mg(0001) surface. The metal/water interface was modeled with a supercell approach, consisting of an extended metal surface coupled to an implicit solvent medium. Several electrochemical reactions were studied on the Mg surface, and it was found that dissociation of adsorbed water is thermodynamically favorable, and that the Mg(0001) surface has multiple 'active sites' that can accommodate adsorbed hydroxyl groups (*OH). This is similar to previous first principles findings of oxygen adsorption on Mg(0001). It was also found that the local structure of an adsorbed hydroxyl monolayer mimics that of the crystal structure of brucite, Mg(OH)2. Lastly, DFT-calculated reaction enthalpies were used to reproduce the bulk Mg Pourbaix diagram, and Pourbaix's formalism was extended to develop a theoretical Mg surface Pourbaix diagram. From this, it was shown that the enthalpy of hydroxylation of Mg(0001) becomes more negative with increasing surface coverage of *OH groups. This indicates that the presence of adsorbed *OH species provides an energetic driving force for water dissociation on Mg(0001). Furthermore, the corrosive region of the Mg Pourbaix diagram can be suppressed if *OH adsorption is limited to certain low-energy active sites, where they form a stable hydroxide surface.

AB - Hospital buildings have one of the highest energy intensities of all commercial building types. The design of the building envelope is the most lasting feature affecting the energy use of a hospital, due to its service-life typically equaling the life of the facility. Recent developments in sustainability and evidence-based design (EBD) have created additional requirements for the design and construction of facilities. This study investigates the impact that design interventions supported by EBD and energy code compliance may have on the building envelope, and their consequence for the energy consumption of Military Health System facilities. Energy simulations were conducted using eQUEST software on two casestudy facilities. The analysis demonstrates that various EBD design measures, such as increased use of views and daylighting, appear to be in conflict with certain goals of energy design. Yet, their impact on energy consumption may be limited compared to the potential savings that can be achieved from proper design of the mechanical systems. The use of energy simulation software and early design collaboration between multiple professional disciplines is recognized as critical to achieve optimal design solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

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

AB - Existing community resilience assessment methods lack explicit reference to temporality of disruptive events and often use standard metrics that may not be universally appropriate. Linkov et al.'s (Environ Sci Technol 47(18):10108-10110, ; Environ Syst Decis 33(4):471-476, ) Resilience Matrix (RM) framework utilizes local stakeholder-informed metrics aligned with the temporal stages of the National Academy of Science definition of disaster resilience. Here we demonstrate the application of the RM to coastal community resilience at Rockaway Peninsula, New York. We present the flexibility of the RM methodology by using both qualitative and quantitative metrics drawn from post-Hurricane Sandy reports. The presentation of the case study results reveals opportunities to prioritize investments and collaborate among responsible parties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - Bone conduction (BC) communication systems provide benefits over air conduction systems but are not in widespread use, partly due to problems with speech intelligibility. Contributing factors like device location and background noise have been explored, but little attention has been paid to the role of individual user differences. Because BC signals travel through an individual's skull and facial tissues, demographic factors such as user age, sex, race, or regional origin may influence sound transmission. Vocal traits such as pitch, spectral tilt, jitter, and shimmer may also play a role. Along with microphone placement and background noise, these factors can affect BC speech intelligibility. Eight diverse talkers were recorded with bone microphones on two different skull locations and in different background noise conditions. Twenty-four diverse listeners listened to these samples over BC and completed Modified Rhyme Tests for speech intelligibility. Forehead bone recordings were more intelligible than condyle recordings. In condyle recordings, female talkers, talkers with high fundamental frequency, and talkers in background noise were understood better, as were communications between talkers and listeners of the same regional origin. Listeners' individual traits had no significant effects. Thoughtful application of this knowledge can help improve BC communication for diverse users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - For over a decade, moral psychologists have been actively researching the processes underlying moral judgments that are made intuitively without reference to an action’s concrete harms or injustice, such as the well-known case of nonprocreative, consensual incest. We suggest that the reason some judge such scenarios as wrong (using intuitive feelings) and others do not (using deliberative reasons) is due to an important motivational distinction. Consistent with this view, across 7 studies, we demonstrate that negative judgments of such moral scenarios are more intense when processed in the promotion focus compared to the prevention focus, and that this is due to differences in whether eager (intuitive feelings) versus vigilant (deliberative reasons) means are employed in judging these moral wrongs. By examining both boundary conditions and possible underlying mechanisms for regulatory focus differences in moral judgment intensity, we expand our understanding of the differences between promotion and prevention regarding how proscriptive judgments are processed, while integrating these differences with existing theories in moral psychology.

N2 - Background: Rehabilitative ultrasound Imaging (RUSI) is increasingly used in the management of musculoskeletal conditions as it provides an objective measure of muscle function while being less invasive than needle electromyography. While research has documented the ability to reliably measure trunk muscles in patients with back pain, no study to date has used RUSI to quantify infraspinatus muscle function in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of measuring infraspinatus muscle thickness with RUSI and to compare such measures during resting versus contracted muscle states and in the symptomatic versus asymptomatic shoulders in patients with SIS. Study Design: Cross-sectional, measurement study Methods: Fifty-two participants with unilateral SIS underwent a standard baseline examination to include RUSI of the infraspinatus muscle bilaterally. Images were acquired at rest and during a submaximal isometric contraction, by two novice examiners. The isometric contraction was elicited by having prone participants externally rotate their shoulder from a position of 90° abduction into a dynamometer and hold a static force of 20 mmHg (approximately 20-30% maximal voluntary contraction). Images were captured using a standardized placement of the transducer placed just inferior to the spine of the scapula along the medial scapular border and measured off-line using Image J software (V1.38t, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland). Results: Estimates (ICCs) for thickness measurements ranged between 0.96 and 0.98 for intra-rater reliability and between 0.87 and 0.92 for inter-rater reliability. Reliability was substantially lower (ICC = 0.43 to 0.79) for calculations of percent thickness change. The infraspinatus muscle was significantly thicker when contracted (19.1mm) than during rest (16.2mm) in both shoulders (p < 0.001). There was also a statistically significant interaction between contraction state and shoulder (p = 0.026), indicating that the change in thickness that occurred during contraction was significantly smaller in the symptomatic shoulder than in the asymptomatic shoulder. Conclusion: RUSI measurements of infraspinatus muscle thickness appear to be highly reliable, both within the same examiner and between different examiners, in patients with SIS. Moreover, such measurements were different in rested and contracted states of the infraspinatus, as well as, between the symptomatic and asymptomatic shoulders of patients with unilateral SIS.

N2 - The purpose of this study was to determine whether repetitive exposure to low-level blasts during military breacher training produces acute and cumulative damage to the ocular tissues or visual system. The effects of low-level blast exposure on high-contrast visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, oculomotor function, color vision, visual field (VF), pupillary light reflex, corneal endothelial cell density (ECD), macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and cup-to-disc ratio were assessed using a battery of standard clinical ophthalmic tests administered 10 times over a 2-year period. Data from nine male breacher instructors (Cadre) were compared with data from four male breacher engineers (Control). The Cadre group showed higher vertical deviation at near than the Control group over time. The VF mean deviation on the left eye tended to be worse in the Cadre group throughout the study, suggesting a decrease in VF sensitivity (Cadre: -0.20 +/- 0.15 dB; Control: 1.05 +/- 0.15 dB; p = 0.03). The Cadre group had a reduced ECD (right eye: Cadre 2,478 cells/mm² vs Control 2,808 cells/ mm², p = 0.02; left eye: Cadre 2,562 cells/mm² vs Control 2,892 cells/mm², p = 0.03). These results suggest that even low-level primary blast has the potential to produce occult eye injury. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - CrN monolayers along with CrN/SiC and CrN/diamond-like carbon (DLC) duplex layers were deposited by arc plasma acceleration on 4340 steel substrates. The layers exhibit a dense microstructure with a low density of surface defects and macroparticles. The tribological properties were evaluated with dry ball-on-disk sliding tests against an alumina counterface at room temperature. The CrN monolayer exhibits a coefficient of friction, µ = 0.28 ± 0.02, while CrN/SiC and CrN/DLC duplex layers both demonstrate much lower µ = 0.07 ± 0.01. The wear rates of the coatings were very low and measured as 0.53, 0.73, and 0.79 µm3/Nm, respectively, for CrN, CrN/DLC, and CrN/SiC. Corrosion resistance was evaluated in both cyclical environmental testing as well as quantitatively via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion resistance in both cases is compared to standard electroless Ni and electroplated Cr coatings. The highest level of corrosion resistance was observed for the CrN monolayer and CrN/SiC duplex layer. Both exhibit improved corrosion resistance over electroless Ni and electroplated Cr coatings. This high level of corrosion resistance is remarkable for physical vapor deposited thin nitride layers. The arc plasma acceleration deposited materials show great promise for applications in which a combination of low friction, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance are required.

AB - Many of the reasons offered for outsourcing security involve costs and benefits – a consequentialist way of reasoning. Thus, I will explore a consequentialist argument against the use of private security contractors (PSCs) in counterinsurgencies. Discussing the benefits and costs of employing PSCs in these kinds of operations will demonstrate that the hiring of PSCs in many cases (perhaps in most) is consequentially unsound. More precisely, the overall negative consequences of hiring PSCs during counterinsurgencies should preclude their use unless in extreme emergencies. Defenders of the use of PSCs readily point to their financial benefits and expected increase in efficiency as the starting point for their argumentation. On my account, if the benefits really do outweigh the foreseeable and expected costs, then hiring PSCs may, in that case, be a morally viable option. However, I contend that, unless we institute broad contractual control and oversight reform, unless we truly understand the costs and benefits, we should have a standing, prima facie prohibition against employing PSCs in counterinsurgencies.

AB - Vortex-like flow patterns are often observed in experiments on granular media for which uniform strain is expected based on the loading boundary conditions. These deformations become apparent when the motion associated with uniform strain is subtracted from the total particle motion. Besides presenting an interesting phenomenon that begs explanation, these vortex patterns suggest multiscale structure for nonaffine motion as suggested by modern continuum theories. Further, the authors note that the rotational velocity field added to a uniform strain field produces a planar slip field. Thus, these structures are associated with the slip-band fields that eventually form, which are generally associated with bifurcations in the solution path of the governing partial differential equations. The authors present a procedure to extract these motion fields from discrete-element simulations along with conjugate forces associated with these motions. A key finding from the simulations is that the motions that eventually lead to shear band formation develop throughout the loading history rather than arising as a distinct bifurcation. Further, the pattern of rotational fields, and hence the shear banding pattern, are controlled by the boundary conditions. A question, only partly resolved here, is the origin of forces driving the rotational fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Computer-based technologies informed by the science of learning are becoming increasingly prevalent in education and training. For the Department of Defense (DoD), this presents a great potential advantage to the effective preparation of a new generation of technologically enabled service members. Military medicine has broad education and training challenges ranging from first aid and personal protective skills for every service member to specialized combat medic training; many of these challenges can be met with gaming and simulation technologies that this new generation has embraced. However, comprehensive use of medical games and simulation to augment expert mentorship is still limited to elite medical provider training programs, but can be expected to become broadly used in the training of first responders and allied health care providers. The purpose of this supplement is to review the use of computer games and simulation to teach and assess medical knowledge and skills. This review and other DoD research policy sources will form the basis for development of a research and development road map and guidelines for use of this technology in military medicine.

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

AB - An axisymmetric microscale finite element model of a microdroplet test specimen is developed where the structural response of the fiber–droplet interface is accounted for by surface-based cohesive behavior. In this study, the interface cohesive response is estimated using a nanoscale interface finite element model that explicitly includes the effects of fiber surface topography and the interphase region. The interphase behavior in the nanoscale interface model is calibrated using indirect experimental data. Once calibrated, the fiber surface topography in the nanoscale interface model is modified in order to estimate the parameters defining the surface-based cohesive behavior of similar fiber–matrix systems with different fiber topography. The effect of altering the fiber topography on the force response of the microdroplet test can then be predicted by the microdroplet FE model. Comparing the simulation results with experimental data from the literature shows that this multiscale modeling approach gives accurate predictions for the interfacial shear stress.

AB - Pears in syrup in flexible pouches are part of the U.S. Army's Meals Ready-to-Eat rations, which are expected to have a shelf life of 3 years at 26.7C. However, browning during storage was reducing the shelf life. Pear pouches were subjected to complete headspace removal and rotation during retorting for extended shelf life of 45 days at 48.9C. The pears were tested for browning, ascorbic acid and headspace composition during storage. A combination of complete headspace removal and rotation of pouches during retorting increased the acceptability of pear by decreasing ascorbic acid degradation and browning. Aerobic and anaerobic ascorbic acid degradation reactions took place in the pears, with most of the aerobic degradation beginning during retorting. A lag period of several days between different stages of ascorbic acid degradation was detected. Finally, the ascorbic acid loss followed zero-order kinetics, with a reaction rate dependent on the initial concentration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The proliferation of smart phones with sensing capabilities motivates exploring the applicability limits of (phone-based) mobile sensing. While a phone can directly measure variables such as location, acceleration, and orientation, other interesting quantities one may want to measure have higher-level semantics that a phone does not directly recognize. For example, one might want to map parking lots that are free after hours, or restaurants that are popular after midnight. How can we measure such higher-level logical quantities using sensors on phones? Techniques that address this question fall in the broad area of surrogate sensing, defined as inferring high-level logical quantities by measuring weaker surrogates. The surrogates in question are variables that can be sensed using a phone, but are only weakly related to the original high-level logical quantities one is really after. The key challenge is to exploit appropriate aggregation techniques that leverage the availability of large numbers of phones to overcome the poor quality of individual surrogates. Recently, significant advances have been made in understanding the quality limits of surrogate sensing. This article overviews the main ideas and insights underlying these advances.

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

AB - Introduction: Many non-battle injuries among deployed soldiers are due to occupational-related tasks. Given that non-battle injuries are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, occupational safety and health are of great concern to the military. Some of the leading causes of non-battle injuries in the military are also common in nonmilitary occupational settings. Nationally, falls and motor-vehicle accidents are leading causes of non-fatal occupational injuries in the civilian workforce. The objective of this research is to identify the leading causes, types, and anatomic locations of non-fatal non-battle injuries in Afghanistan and Iraq. Methods: Non-battle injuries were identified from medical air evacuation records. Causes of air evacuated injuries were identified and coded using the diagnosis and narrative patient history in the air evacuation records. Descriptive statistics were used to report the air evacuated non-battle injury rates, causes, injury types, and anatomic locations. Results: Between 2001 and 2013, there were 68,349 medical air evacuations from Afghanistan and Iraq. Non-battle injuries accounted for 31% of air evacuations from Afghanistan and 34% from Iraq. These injuries were the leading diagnosis category for air evacuations. The three leading causes of injury for Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively, were sports/physical training (23% and 24%), falls/jumps (19% and 16%), and military vehicle-related accidents (8% and 11%). The leading injury types were fractures (21%), overuse pain and inflammation (16%), and dislocations (11%). Practical applications: Given that over 30% of medical evacuations of soldiers result from non-battle injuries, prevention of such conditions would substantially enhance military readiness during combat.

AB - Associative learning is an essential feature of human cognition, accounting for the influence of priming and interference effects on memory recall. Here, we extend our account of associative learning that learns asymmetric item‐to‐item associations over time via experience (Thomson, Pyke, Trafton, & Hiatt, 2015) by including link maturation to balance associations between longer‐term stability while still accounting for short‐term variability. This account, combined with an existing account of activation strengthening and decay, predicts both human response times and error rates for the fan effect (Anderson, 1974; Anderson & Reder, 1999) for both target and foil stimuli.

AB - Over two million United States military service members have served in the theaters of Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. Many of these military service members are seeking employment in law enforcement upon discharge from active duty. The skills acquired from military service are complementary to many of the essential job functions of a law enforcement officer, thus a natural fit. In addition, military reserve police officers have seen activations for deployment to combat regions. These National Guard and Reserve service members make a rapid transition from military fatigues to a police uniform upon their return from deployment. After outlining the scope of the military deployment cycle, reintegration programs and preemployment assessment challenges are described in this chapter. The comprehensive description will provide psychologists working with law enforcement and related public safety agencies the necessary tools for both assessing and supporting the success of those reintegrating to their law enforcement careers.

AB - This study utilized a person-centered approach and latent profile analysis to investigate relationships among personality, attrition, and performance. Personality data from 4763 Army recruits were used to create personality profiles or classes, which were then linked with supervisor's job performance ratings of discipline and effort as well as 24- and 48-month attrition. The latent profile analyses identified 5 personality profiles/classes, 3 of which (i.e., Resilient, Overcontrolled, Undercontrolled) have been commonly found in previous person-centered studies of personality. The results indicated that the Resilient class had significantly higher discipline ratings and significantly lower attrition than the Overcontrolled and Undercontrolled classes. Using the person-centered approach, the results showed that the classes developed using a relatively new personality measure and latent profile analysis predicted significant differences on important work outcomes such as performance ratings and attrition. Applied implications and future research directions are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - A suspected case of sexual transmission from a male survivor of Ebola virus disease (EVD) to his female partner (the patient in this report) occurred in Liberia in March 2015. Ebola virus (EBOV) genomes assembled from blood samples from the patient and a semen sample from the survivor were consistent with direct transmission. The genomes shared three substitutions that were absent from all other Western African EBOV sequences and that were distinct from the last documented transmission chain in Liberia before this case. Combined with epidemiologic data, the genomic analysis provides evidence of sexual transmission of EBOV and evidence of the persistence of infective EBOV in semen for 179 days or more after the onset of EVD.

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

AB - Background: To date, there are no reviews on machine learning (ML) in burn care. Considering the growth of ML in medicine and the complexities and challenges of burn care, this review specializes on ML applications in burn care. The objective was to examine the features and impact of applications in targeting various aspects of burn care and research.Methods: MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ScienceDirect, and citation review of relevant primary and review articles were searched for studies involving burn care/research and machine learning. Data were abstracted on study design, study size, year, population, application of burn care/research, ML technique(s), and algorithm performance.Results: 15 retrospective observational studies involving burn patients met inclusion criteria. In total 5105 patients with acute thermal injury, 171 clinical burn wounds, 180 9-mer peptides, and 424 12-mer peptides were included in the studies. Studies focused on burn diagnosis (n=5), aminoglycoside response (n=3), hospital length of stay (n=2), survival/mortality (n=4), burn healing time (n=1), and antimicrobial peptides in burn patients (n=1). Of these 15 studies, 11 used artificial neural networks. Importantly, all studies demonstrated the benefits of ML in burn care/research and superior performance over traditional statistical methods. However, algorithm performance was assessed differently by different authors. Feature selection varied among studies, but studies with similar applications shared specific features including age, gender, presence of inhalation injury, total body surface area burned, and when available, various degrees of burns, infections, and previous histories/conditions of burn patients.Conclusion: A common feature base may be determined for ML in burn care/research, but the impact of ML will require further validation in prospective observational studies and randomized clinical trials, establishment of common performance metrics, and high quality evidence about clinical and economic impacts. Only then can ML applications be advanced and accepted widely in burn care/research.

AB - Introduction: Cutaneous allograft is commonly used in the early coverage of excised burns when autograft is unavailable. However, allograft is also applied in intermediate-extent burns (25-50%), during cases in which it is possible to autograft. In this population, there is a paucity of data on the indications for allograft use. This study explores the indications for allograft usage in moderate size burns.Methods: Under an IRB-approved protocol, patients admitted to our burn unit between March 2003 and December 2010 were identified through a review of the burn registry. Data on allograft use, total burn surface area, operation performed, operative intent, number of operations, intensive care unit length of stay, and overall length of stay were collected and analyzed. Data are presented as means±standard deviations, except where noted.Results: In the study period, 146 patients received allograft during their acute hospitalization. Twenty-five percent of allograft recipients sustained intermediate-extent burns. Patients with intermediate-extent burns received allograft later in their hospitalization than those with large-extent (50-75% TBSA) burns (6.8 days vs. 3.4 days, p=0.01). Allografted patients with intermediate-extent burns underwent more operations (10.8 vs. 6.1, p=0.002) and had longer hospitalizations (78.3 days vs. 40.9 days, p<0.001) than non-allografted patients, when controlled for TBSA. Clinical rationale for placement of allograft in this population included autograft failure, uncertain depth of excision, lack of autograft donor site, and wound complexity. When uncertain depth of excision was the indication, allograft was universally applied onto the face. In half of allografted intermediate-extent burn patients the inability to identify a viable recipient bed was the ultimate reason for allograft use.Conclusions: Unlike large body surface area burns, allograft skin use in intermediate-extent injury occurs later in the hospitalization and is driven by the inability to determine wound bed suitability for autograft application. Allograft application can be utilized to test recipient site viability in cases of autograft failure or uncertain depth of excision.

AB - Objective: Threat monitoring facilitates survival by allowing one to efficiently and accurately detect potential threats. Traumatic events can disrupt healthy threat monitoring, inducing biased and unstable threat-related attention deployment. Recent research suggests that greater attention bias variability, that is, attention fluctuations alternating toward and away from threat, occurs in participants with PTSD relative to healthy comparison subjects who were either exposed or not exposed to traumatic events. The current study extends findings on attention bias variability in PTSD.Method: Previous measurement of attention bias variability was refined by employing a moving average technique. Analyses were conducted across seven independent data sets; in each, data on attention bias variability were collected by using variants of the dot-probe task. Trauma-related and anxiety symptoms were evaluated across samples by using structured psychiatric interviews and widely used self-report questionnaires, as specified for each sample.Results: Analyses revealed consistent evidence of greater attention bias variability in patients with PTSD following various types of traumatic events than in healthy participants, participants with social anxiety disorder, and participants with acute stress disorder. Moreover, threat-related, and not positive, attention bias variability was correlated with PTSD severity.Conclusions: These findings carry possibilities for using attention bias variability as a specific cognitive marker of PTSD and for tailoring protocols for attention bias modification for this disorder.

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

AB - Unlabelled: In the U.S. Army, falls have historically been among the top five causes of hospitalization and a leading cause of nonbattle injuries in military operations overseas.Objective: For safety and public health professionals, commanders, and supervisors looking to address this problem, a literature review was conducted to identify and summarize existing fall prevention strategies applicable to a working-age population.Methods: A total of nine literature databases were searched for articles published from 1970 to 2011. Article titles and abstracts were screened to select original research with an injury or noninjury outcome. Intervention studies were reviewed in detail and quality scored by 3 public health scientists.Results: The search identified over 2,200 articles. Of these, 525 met inclusion criteria and were reviewed in more detail, resulting in identification of 9 interventions. Nearly all of the identified interventions had been implemented in occupational environments. Study quality was rated and scores ranged from 4.5 to 8.0 (maximum 10 points).Conclusions: Few intervention studies were identified. Multifaceted programs showed the greatest promise for translation to military environments. Additional evaluation research is greatly needed to further efforts to address this leading military public health problem.

AB - Background: During the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, 52,087 service members have been wounded in combat. The long-term sequelae of these injuries have not been carefully examined. We sought to determine the relation between markers of injury severity and the subsequent development of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease.Methods and Results: Retrospective cohort study of critically injured US military personnel wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan from February 1, 2002 to February 1, 2011. Patients were then followed until January 18, 2013. Chronic disease outcomes were assessed by International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition codes and causes of death were confirmed by autopsy. From 6011 admissions, records were excluded because of missing data or if they were for an individual's second admission. Patients with a disease diagnosis of interest before the injury date were also excluded, yielding a cohort of 3846 subjects for analysis. After adjustment for other factors, each 5-point increment in the injury severity score was associated with a 6%, 13%, 13%, and 15% increase in incidence rates of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease, respectively. Acute kidney injury was associated with a 66% increase in rates of hypertension and nearly 5-fold increase in rates of chronic kidney disease.Conclusions: In Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, the severity of combat injury was associated with the subsequent development of hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease.

AB - Background: Traditionally, insulin bolus calculations for managing postprandial glucose levels in individuals with type 1 diabetes rely solely on the carbohydrate content of a meal. However, recent studies have reported that other macronutrients in a meal can alter the insulin required for good postprandial control. Specifically, studies have shown that high-fat (HF) meals require more insulin than low-fat (LF) meals with identical carbohydrate content. Our objective was to assess the mechanisms underlying the higher insulin requirement observed in one of these studies.Materials and Methods: We used a combination of previously validated metabolic models to fit data from a study comparing HF and LF dinners with identical carbohydrate content in seven subjects with type 1 diabetes. For each subject and dinner type, we estimated the model parameters representing the time of peak meal-glucose appearance (τ(m)), insulin sensitivity (S(I)), the net hepatic glucose balance, and the glucose effect at zero insulin in four time windows (dinner, early night, late night, and breakfast) and assessed the differences in model parameters via paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.Results: During the HF meal, the τ(m) was significantly delayed (mean and standard error [SE]: 102 [14] min vs. 71 [4] min; P = 0.02), and S(I) was significantly lower (7.25 × 10(-4) [1.29 × 10(-4)] mL/μU/min vs. 8.72 × 10(-4) [1.08 × 10(-4)] mL/μU/min; P = 0.02).Conclusions: In addition to considering the putative delay in gastric emptying associated with HF meals, we suggest that clinicians reviewing patient records consider that the fat content of these meals may alter S(I).

AB - This qualitative study explored strategies African-American cancer survivors use to overcome their fears and fatalistic attitudes toward cancer at the point of diagnosis through completion of treatment. Thirty-one African-American cancer survivors who had completed or nearly completed treatment were recruited through criterion purposeful sampling. In-depth, open-ended interviews were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Of the 31 survivors interviewed, 26 reported being fearful of cancer and believed that cancer would result in death. These cancer survivors were particularly fearful of having a cancer had spread, of being isolated, and performing less effectively at work. Strategies used to overcome these fears included increasing their own awareness about cancer, using positive self-talk, and avoiding negative people. The findings suggest that past experiences continue to influence fears and fatalistic perspectives about cancer and that educational resources to inform the public about cancer may be ignored until there is a confirmed diagnosis of cancer. Televised news broadcasts of high-profile personalities who had died from cancer were also anxiety provoking, particularly if the cancer survivor died of a recurrence from cancer. Prevalent sources of information and support for these survivors were family members or close friends they trusted with personal information, perceived as strong, or experienced in the care of other cancer survivors.

AB - Centralized HIV program oversight and repeal of the Department of Defense policy "Don't Ask Don't Tell" permitted characterization of HIV transmission among soldiers assigned to a large US Army base continental United States from 2012 to 2013. An investigation of a greater than expected number of new HIV infections among soldiers was initiated to characterize transmission and identify opportunities to disrupt transmission and deliver services.All soldiers who were assigned to the base at the time of their first positive HIV test and who had their first positive HIV test in 2012 or in the first 6 months of 2013 and who had a clinical genotype available for analysis were eligible for inclusion in the investigation.All patients (n = 19) were men; most were black (52%) and less than 30 years old (64%). Fifteen of the 19 patients participated in in-depth interviews. Eighty percent were men who have sex with men who reported multiple sex partners having met through social and electronic networks. All were subtype B infections. Significant knowledge gaps and barriers to accessing testing and care in the military healthcare system were identified. Most (58%) belonged to transmission networks involving other soldiers.This investigation represents an important step forward in on-going efforts to develop a comprehensive understanding of transmission networks in the Army that can inform delivery of best practices combination prevention services. The Army is developing plans to directly engage individuals in key affected populations most at risk for HIV infection to identify and address unmet needs and expand delivery and uptake of prevention services. Further investigation is underway and will determine whether these findings are generalizable to the Army.

AB - Cognitive skills training has been linked to greater skills, self-efficacy, and performance. Although research in a variety of organizational settings has demonstrated training efficacy, few studies have assessed cognitive skills training using rigorous, longitudinal, randomized trials with active controls. The present study examined cognitive skills training in a high-risk occupation by randomizing 48 platoons (N = 2,432 soldiers) in basic combat training to either (a) mental skills training or (b) an active comparison condition (military history). Surveys were conducted at baseline and 3 times across the 10-week course. Multilevel mixed-effects models revealed that soldiers in the mental skills training condition reported greater use of a range of cognitive skills and increased confidence relative to those in the control condition. Soldiers in the mental skills training condition also performed better on obstacle course events, rappelling, physical fitness, and initial weapons qualification scores, although effects were generally moderated by gender and previous experience. Overall, effects were small; however, given the rigor of the design, the findings clearly contribute to the broader literature by providing supporting evidence that cognitive training skills can enhance performance in occupational and sports settings. Future research should address gender and experience to determine the need for targeting such training appropriately.

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

AB - Background: Quinidine gluconate, the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for life-threatening malaria in the United States, has a problematic safety profile and is often unavailable in hospitals.Objective: To assess the safety and clinical benefit of intravenous artesunate as an alternative to quinidine.Design: Retrospective case series.Setting: U.S. hospitals.Patients: 102 patients aged 1 to 72 years (90% adults; 61% men) with severe and complicated malaria. Patients received 4 weight-based doses of intravenous artesunate (2.4 mg/kg) under a treatment protocol implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between January 2007 and December 2010. At baseline, 35% had evidence of cerebral malaria, and 17% had severe hepatic impairment. Eligibility required the presence of microscopically confirmed malaria, need for intravenous treatment, and an impediment to quinidine.Measurements: Clinical and laboratory data from each patient's hospital records were abstracted retrospectively, including information from baseline through a maximum 7-day follow-up, and presented before a physician committee to evaluate safety and clinical benefit outcomes.Results: 7 patients died (mortality rate, 6.9%). The most frequent adverse events were anemia (65%) and elevated hepatic enzyme levels (49%). All deaths and most adverse events were attributed to the severity of malaria. Patients' symptoms generally improved or resolved within 3 days, and the median time to discharge from the intensive care unit was 4 days, even for patients with severe liver disease or cerebral malaria. More than 100 concomitant medications were used, with no documented drug-drug interactions.Limitation: Potential late-presenting safety issues might occur outside the 7-day follow-up.Conclusion: Artesunate was a safe and clinically beneficial alternative to quinidine.

AB - The Department of Defense Serum Repository (DoDSR) of the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center (AFHSC), Silver Spring, Maryland, has over 55 million specimens. Over 80% of these specimens are linked to individual health data. In response to Congressional and Department of Defense (DoD) concern about toxic exposures of deployed Service members and rapidly developing laboratory capabilities that may identify those exposed, the AFHSC hosted two panels in 2013. The first, the Needs Panel, focused on assessing the needs of the DoD that may be met using the current DoDSR and an enhanced repository. The second panel, the Technical Panel, focused on identifying the emerging laboratory technologies that are or will be available to DoD public health workers and researchers. This report summarizes the recommendations of the Technical Panel, to include identified gaps in the ability of the current DoDSR to address questions of interest to the DoD, the availability of laboratory technology to address these needs, and the types and quality of specimens required from Service members possibly exposed.

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

AB - Spinal cord injury (SCI) often affects a person's ability to perform critical activities of daily living and can negatively affect his or her quality of life. Assistive technology aims to bridge this gap in order to augment function and increase independence. It is critical to involve consumers in the design and evaluation process as new technologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are developed. In a survey study of 57 veterans with SCI participating in the 2010 National Veterans Wheelchair Games, we found that restoration of bladder and bowel control, walking, and arm and hand function (tetraplegia only) were all high priorities for improving quality of life. Many of the participants had not used or heard of some currently available technologies designed to improve function or the ability to interact with their environment. The majority of participants in this study were interested in using a BCI, particularly for controlling functional electrical stimulation to restore lost function. Independent operation was considered to be the most important design criteria. Interestingly, many participants reported that they would consider surgery to implant a BCI even though noninvasiveness was a high-priority design requirement. This survey demonstrates the interest of individuals with SCI in receiving and contributing to the design of BCIs.

AB - The Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) cosponsored a workshop that explored the possible benefits of acupuncture treatment for acute pain. One goal of the workshop was to establish a roadmap to building an evidence base on that would indicate whether acupuncture is helpful for treating active-duty military personnel experiencing acute pain. The workshop highlighted brief presentations on the most current research on acupuncture and acute pain mechanisms. The impact of various modifiers (stress, genetics, population, phenotypes, etc.) on acute pain pathways and response to acupuncture treatment was discussed. Additional presentations focused on common neural mechanisms, an overview of real-world experience with using acupuncture to treat traumatic acute pain, and best tools and methods specific for acupuncture studies. Three breakout groups addressed the gaps, opportunities, and barriers to acupuncture use for acute pain in military and trauma settings. Different models of effectiveness research and optimal research designs for conducting trials in acute traumatic pain were also discussed.

AB - Aim This article presents a discussion of development of a mid-range theory of risk perception. Background Unhealthy behaviours contribute to the development of health inequalities worldwide. The link between perceived risk and successful health behaviour change is inconclusive, particularly in vulnerable populations. This may be attributed to inattention to culture. Data sources The synthesis strategy of theory building guided the process using three methods: (1) a systematic review of literature published between 2000-2011 targeting perceived risk in vulnerable populations; (2) qualitative and (3) quantitative data from a study of Samoan Pacific Islanders at high risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Discussion Main concepts of this theory include risk attention, appraisal processes, cognition, and affect. Overarching these concepts is health-world view: cultural ways of knowing, beliefs, values, images, and ideas. This theory proposes the following: (1) risk attention varies based on knowledge of the health risk in the context of health-world views; (2) risk appraisals are influenced by affect, health-world views, cultural customs, and protocols that intersect with the health risk; (3) strength of cultural beliefs, values, and images (cultural identity) mediate risk attention and risk appraisal influencing the likelihood that persons will engage in health-promoting behaviours that may contradict cultural customs/protocols. Implications Interventions guided by a culturally sensitive mid-range theory may improve behaviour-related health inequalities in vulnerable populations. Conclusions The synthesis strategy is an intensive process for developing a culturally sensitive mid-range theory. Testing of the theory will ascertain its usefulness for reducing health inequalities in vulnerable groups.

AB - Navigating large-scale environments involves dynamic interactions between the physical world and individuals’ knowledge, goals, and strategies. Time pressure can result from self-imposed goals or relatively dynamic situational factors that induce varied constraints. While time pressure is ubiquitous in daily life and has been shown to influence affective states, cost-benefit analyses, and strategy selection, its influence on navigation behaviour is unknown. The present study examined how introducing varied time constraints during virtual urban navigation would influence spatial strategies and impact the efficiency and effectiveness of goal-directed wayfinding. Participants learned a large-scale urban virtual environment by wayfinding between a series of 20 successive landmark goals (e.g.,You have reached the Theater. Now find the Bank.). A day later, they again performed the same task, but landmark-to-landmark trials were characterized by conditions of low-, moderate-, or high-pressure time limits as quantified by a pilot experiment. As time pressure increased, participants more likely navigated along previously experienced paths and less likely travelled in the global direction of the destination. Results suggest strategy shifts under time constraints that increase reliance on egocentric, route-based strategies and decrease reliance on global configural knowledge, probably in an attempt to reduce cognitive demands and support performance under pressure.

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

AB - Associations among sociodemographic characteristics, mood, trauma-related experiences, and suicidal behaviors were examined with archival data from Army National Guard (ARNG) soldiers that included suicide cases combined with annual random samples of nonsuicide cases for calendar years 2007–2011 (N = 5,390); postdeployed ARNG soldiers (N = 4,567); and home-stationed ARNG soldiers (N = 15,597). Suicidal behavior was associated with demographic characteristics (e.g., young age, male, and White) and loss of a significant other; childhood abuse experiences moderated the relationship between current stressors and suicidal behavior; suicidal behavior appeared to be consistent across the deployment cycle.

AB - Benefit finding and unit leadership have been identified as buffers against the negative effects of combat exposure on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. However, little is known about how these different buffers work together to protect military personnel from the negative effects of combat. We examined benefit finding and leadership as buffers of the combat–PTSD symptoms link in a sample of recently returned combat veterans (N = 583). Results revealed that when higher levels of noncommissioned officer (NCO) leadership and benefit finding (BF) were reported, fewer PTSD symptoms were endorsed. Additionally, BF buffered the relationship between combat stress and PTSD symptoms, but only under conditions of supportive officer leadership. Implications of these findings for military settings are discussed.

AB - Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to examine the nursing practice environment and burnout of nursing personnel assigned to a deployed combat support hospital (CSH). A secondary aim was to compare differences in the level of burnout between the deployed Army nursing personnel and Army nursing personnel assigned to an Army hospital in the United States that served as the U.S. military's primary referral center for American combat casualties evacuated from Iraq. Design: A nonexperimental cross-sectional design was used for this study. Methods: The Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Practice Environment Scale were administered to 105 personnel who deployed with a CSH to Iraq. Data from this study were linked to data obtained from 152 nursing personnel who participated in an earlier burnout study at a large Army hospital in the United States. The linked datasets yielded a final sample of 257 Army nursing personnel. Analysis of variance and linear regression analysis were used to analyze these data. Findings: Emotional exhaustion was common across groups. For the deployed nursing personnel, emotional exhaustion was related to a perceived lack of support from management, foundations for quality of care, collegial relationships, and extended work schedules. The U.S.-based Army hospital group scored significantly higher emotional exhaustion, but it was related to the additional responsibilities associated with being an Army nurse, working extended schedules, and working with combat casualties for extended periods of time. The U.S.-based group perceived more personal accomplishment from the work they do. Conclusions: Burnout was common across Army hospital settings. Emotional exhaustion was most problematic in the U.S.-based Army hospital; however, there was less cynicism toward patients and a greater perception of personal accomplishment associated with work. Clinical Relevance: This study supports the importance of a professional practice environment for Army nursing personnel both during deployment and in U.S.-based Army hospitals.

AB - For servicemembers who have sustained amputaÂtions and wish to return to Active Duty, performing common military tasks is essential. The purpose of this study was to examine the metabolic requirements of servicemembers with transtibial amputations wearing a loaded rucksack and walking at a steady speed. We tested 12 servicemembers with unilateral transtibial amputations and 12 uninjured controls on a treadmill at two walking speeds (1.34 and 1.52 m/s) while they carried a 32.7 kg load. Oxygen consumption was recorded. Results showed that metabolic demand for the injured servicemembers was significantly higher (8.5% at 1.34 m/s and 10.4% at 1.52 m/s) than for controls. An understanding of energy expended duringload carriage by this study population is critical for decisions regarding return-to-duty requirements. Although significantdifferences existed between uninjured controls and those with amputations, it is important to note that those differences are less than previously published. This finding, coupled with the fact that servicemembers with transtibial amputations have redeÂployed, implies that, despite statistical significance, results may not be clinically relevant. Future work should include more taxÂing conditions to identify a threshold for potential limitations.

AB - Soviet satellites in 1957 galvanised air force interest in defending and exploiting ‘aerospace’ as an extended realm of operations. The Dynamic Soarer glider programme, catapulted to significance by air force reaction to Sputnik, became the standard bearer for aerospace thought in the late 1950s. Dwight Eisenhower's administration, however, did not see the weaponisation of space as inevitable or desirable. Convinced that public insistence for visible space accomplishments made elimination or cuts to projects politically difficult, Eisenhower's administration used organisational decisions and policy strictures to impede development of the Dyna-Soar and to prevent aerospace paladins from commandeering US space policy.

AB - 3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO), an insensitive explosive, was evaluated to assess potential environmental and human health effects. A 14-day oral toxicity study in Sprague-Dawley rats was conducted with NTO in polyethylene glycol -200 by gavage at doses of 0, 250, 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 mg/kg-d. Body mass and food consumption decreased in males (2000 mg/kg-d), and testes mass was reduced at doses of 500 mg/kg-d and greater. Based on the findings in the 14-day study, a 90-day study was conducted at doses of 0, 30, 100, 315, or 1000 mg/kg-d NTO. There was no effect on food consumption, body mass, or neurobehavioral parameters. Males in the 315 and 1000 mg/kg-d groups had reduced testes mass with associated tubular degeneration and atrophy. The testicular effects were the most sensitive adverse effect and were used to derive a benchmark dose (BMD) of 70 mg/kg-d with a 10% effect level (BMDL10) of 40 mg/kg-d. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The procedure for the design of military rigid airfield pavements contained in the Unified Facilities Criteria 3-260-02 gives the minimum thickness of airfield concrete pavements as 152 mm (6 in.). The introduction of the C-17 aircraft and the requirement of dowel bars as a joint load transfer mechanism bring into question the validity of the 152-mm (6-in.) minimum thickness. With the objective of updating such minimum thickness criteria, a full-scale test section was constructed and trafficked with loads simulating F-15, B-52, and C-17 aircraft landing gear. Evaluation of the test section performance and analysis of the strain data supported a U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center team recommendations that the minimum pavement thickness be increased to 203 mm (8 in.) for any doweled airfield pavement and that the minimum thickness of 279 mm (11 in.) should be required for those pavements supporting C-17 aircraft.

AB - Lead–antimony alloy slugs encased in a brass jackets are common small arms caliber ammunition used for training and target practice. When small caliber ammunition is fired at testing and training ranges, these metals—some of which are toxic—are introduced into the environment. Research was conducted on the effects of bullet on bullet impacts and the resulting bullet fragmentation. The extent of bullet fragmentation, among other factors, affects the formation of mobile metal species from small arms firing ranges. Bullet on bullet impact can increase the surface area to mass ratio of the bullet metal alloys in the soil. The solubility of a metal is typically associated with the specific corrosion rate in the berm environment which is dependent on the surface area of the fragments. The purpose of the study was to analyze the bullet on bullet impact effects in six soil types. Changes in the metal distribution as a result of bullet impact was evaluated through sieve analysis and changes in the particle size distribution. The bullet on bullet impact observed in this study demonstrated a significant and observable shift in the fragmentation profiles for the lead, antimony, and copper in soils after shooting an average of 1050 tungsten-nylon bullets into the legacy lead soils. This study provides new information to assist with determining the potential environmental fate, transport, and environmental availability associated with constant bullet on bullet impact at testing and training ranges.

AB - Legitimate use of legal intranasal decongestants containing l-methamphetamine may complicate interpretation of urine drug tests positive for amphetamines. Our study hypotheses were that commonly used immunoassays would produce no false-positive results and a recently developed enantiomer-specific gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) procedure would find no d-amphetamine or d-methamphetamine in urine following controlled Vicks VapoInhaler administration at manufacturer's recommended doses. To evaluate these hypotheses, 22 healthy adults were each administered one dose (two inhalations in each nostril) of a Vicks VapoInhaler every 2 h for 10 h on Day 1 (six doses), followed by a single dose on Day 2. Every urine specimen was collected as an individual void for 32 h after the first dose and assayed for d- and l-amphetamines specific isomers with a GC–MS method with >99% purity of R-(−)-α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl derivatives and 10 µg/L lower limits of quantification. No d-methamphetamine or d-amphetamine was detected in any urine specimen by GC–MS. The median l-methamphetamine maximum concentration was 62.8 µg/L (range: 11.0–1,440). Only two subjects had detectable l-amphetamine, with maximum concentrations coinciding with l-methamphetamine peak levels, and always ≤4% of the parent's maximum. Three commercial immunoassays for amphetamines EMIT® II Plus, KIMS® II and DRI® had sensitivities, specificities and efficiencies of 100, 97.8, 97.8; 100, 99.6, 99.6 and 100, 100, 100%, respectively. The immunoassays had high efficiencies, but our first hypothesis was not affirmed. The EMIT® II Plus assay produced 2.2% false-positive results, requiring an enantiomer-specific confirmation.

AB - As concerns rise over potential effects of greenhouse gas related climate change on terrestrial ecosystems, forest managers require growth and yield modeling capabilities responsive to changing climate conditions. Our goal was to develop prediction models of site index for eastern US forest tree species with climate and soil properties as predictors for use in predicting potential responses of forest productivity to climate change. Species-specific site index data from the USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program were linked to contemporary climate data and soil properties mapped in the USDA Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database. Random forest regression tree based ensemble prediction models of site index were constructed based on 37 climate-related and 15 soil attributes. In addition to a species-specific site index, aggregate models were developed for species grouped into two broad categories: conifer (softwood) and hardwood (broadleaved) species groups. Species-specific models based on climate and soil predictors explained the most variation in site index of any models tested ( R2 = 62.5%, RMSE = 3.2 m). Comparable results were found when grouping species into conifer and hardwood groups ( R2 = 63.9%, RMSE = 4.6 m for conifers; R2 = 35.9%, RMSE = 4.2 m for hardwoods). Model predictions based on multiple global circulation models (GCMs) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) development scenarios were tested for statistical significance using bootstrap resampling methods. Results showed significant increases over the 21st century in mean site index for conifers between +0.5 and +2.4 m. Over the same time period, mean hardwood site index showed decreases of as much as −1.7 m for the scenarios tested. The results demonstrate the utility of using climate and soils data in predicting site index across a large geographic region, and the potential of climate change to alter forest productivity in the eastern US. Additional investigation is needed to interpret spatial patterns and ecological relationships related to predictions from this type of model. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - À cause des préoccupations croissantes au sujet des effets potentiels des changements climatiques liés aux gaz à effet de serre sur les écosystèmes terrestres, les aménagistes forestiers ont besoin de modèles de croissance et de production capables de tenir compte des conditions engendrées par les changements climatiques. Notre but était de mettre au point des modèles de prévision de l'indice de qualité de station pour les espèces d'arbre des forêts de l'est des États-Unis avec le climat et les propriétés du sol comme variables de prédiction pour prévoir les réactions potentielles de la production forestière face aux changements climatiques. Les données d'indice de qualité de station de chaque espèce provenant du programme d'analyse et d'inventaire forestier de l'USDA Forest Service ont été jumelées aux données du climat contemporain et aux propriétés du sol cartographiées dans la base de données SSURGO de l'inventaire géographique des sols de l'USDA. Des modèles d'ensemble de forêts aléatoires fondés sur des arbres de régression ont été construits à l'aide de 37 attributs reliés au climat et 15 attributs reliés au sol pour prévoir l'indice de qualité de station. En plus de l'indice de qualité de station pour chaque espèce, des modèles globaux ont été mis au point pour deux grandes catégories d'espèces, les conifères et les feuillus. Parmi les modèles testés, les modèles pour chaque espèce fondés sur les prédicteurs du climat et du sol ont expliqué la plus grande partie de la variation de l'indice de qualité de station ( R2 = 62,5 %, EMQ = 3,2 m). Des résultats comparables ont été obtenus lorsque les espèces étaient regroupées en conifères ou feuillus ( R2 = 63,9 %, EMQ = 4,6 m pour les conifères; R2 = 35,9 %, EMQ = 4,2 m pour les feuillus). La signification statistique des prévisions des modèles basés sur les modèles de circulation globale multiple et les scénarios du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat a été testée à l'aide de méthodes de rééchantillonnage avec autoamorçage. Selon les résultats, l'indice de qualité de station moyen des conifères connaîtrait au cours du 21e siècle des augmentations significatives variant de 0,5 à 2,4 m. Pendant la même période, l'indice de qualité de station moyen des feuillus subirait une diminution pouvant aller jusqu'à 1,7 m selon les scénarios testés. Les résultats démontrent l'utilité d'utiliser des données sur le climat et le sol pour prévoir l'indice de qualité de station dans une grande région géographique et le potentiel des changements climatiques pour modifier la productivité des forêts de l'est des États-Unis. Des études supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour interpréter les patrons spatiaux et les relations écologiques associés aux prévisions de ce type de modèle.

AB - Environmental destruction is an inevitable byproduct of warfare. However, the new paradigm of U.S. military contingency operations requires a strategic vision beyond merely engaging the enemy. American military commanders in the 21st century must also seek to win the hearts and minds of a local population in order to solidify gains and ensure a lasting victory. Unfortunately, many commanders have not adapted to this new way of thinking. As a result, commanders fail to consider the long-term environmental damage inflicted by their soldiers during combat operations, damage which must be borne by the civilian population. Such damage includes hidden unexploded ordnance hazards, depleted uranium, and other hazardous waste generated by the day-to-day operations of U.S. military personnel deployed to contingency environments. Though conmianders claim exigent circumstances prohibit them from implementing environmental controls, the long-term nature of current U.S. occupation-up to thirteen years-undeimines these excuses. In fact, the U.S. military has a robust collection of policies, regulations, and personnel, which could be modified to limit the amount of damage caused by military deployments. This Article examines the existing hazards in contingency environments and the collection of U.S. military regulations, which apply to "enduring" bases, and those in the Continental United States. Additionally, it surveys the international laws regarding environmental destruction currently applicable to US. deployments, as well as what methods of recourse citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan have to address environmental damage caused by the US. military. Finally, it proposes solutions to deal with gaps in U.S. and international law and policy in order to prevent and mediate environmental damage caused by U.S. contingency operations and provides methods of recourse by citizens of countries hosting military deployments.

AB - This paper introduces a heterogeneous die integration process using electroplated copper to mount a bare die into a silicon handling wafer while simultaneously forming vertical, through-wafer vias. Deep reactive-ion etching is used to form openings in the handling wafer allowing the die to be flush-mounted for minimal device thickness. The backsides of the support wafer and die are coated by copper sputtering and electroplating, which physically secures the die in place. Electrical isolation is achieved through passivation of the silicon handle wafer sidewalls before copper electroplating. Wet thermal oxide growth was chosen over plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition as the sidewall passivation technique, as wet thermal oxide was found to yield superior coverage and uniformity. Topside interconnects were realized using a previously established thick-film copper metallization process. A $3\times 3$ die array was successfully produced and tested for die-to-die connectivity. Thermal modeling of the fabricated devices showed that power densities up to 1 W/cm ^{2} could be accommodated while keeping the maximum temperature below 85 °C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The relationship between cognitive capacities and retention or turnover has received scant attention in the extant literature. The few findings that have been reported show mixed to no linear effects of general mental ability on organizational continuance. In this study, we examined the association of more specific higher order cognitive capacities including complex problem solving skills and divergent thinking with officer continuance in the U.S. Army. We also tested the role of developmental experiences as a partial mediator of this relationship. Our sample included 640 officers who completed measures of these skills and of their career experiences in 1992–1993. To this sample, we added years of service from date of commissioning to 2008, as well as data on whether officers experienced particular assignments considered to be challenging and developmental. Our findings support the association of complex problem solving and divergent thinking skills with leader continuance. We also found that this effect is partially mediated by challenging developmental experiences. Thus, we provide stronger evidence than in prior studies for a linear relationship between cognitive abilities and continuance in an organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - High-quality inductors are difficult to realize in stretchable electronics, since the thick parallel traces needed to minimize resistance also result in a highly rigid structure. Adding periodic waves or kinks to the traces of an inductor coil has been found to result in a more compliant structure that will not permanently deform or break after stretching by tens of percent. In this paper, the effects on electrical performance of creating inductor coils from stretchable wavy traces are investigated. Eight different tortuous trace designs were modeled and experimentally tested in one- and three-turn inductors, as well as an electrical transformer design. Incorporating waves into an inductor was found to result in a negative mutual coupling along the traces, degrading the inductor performance. The incremental self-inductance per resistance of the added length due to the waviness, $\sim 1.2$ nH/ $\Omega $ , was similar for all interconnect types tested. This value is less than a third that of using a longer straight conductor of similar cross section (4.4 nH/ $\Omega )$ , resulting in a drop in ratio of inductance to resistance and resulting peak quality factor in the measured inductors by as much as a factor of two.

AB - Sound recordings were made of two dredging operations at hydrophone depths of 3 and 9.1 m at distances up to 1.2 km from the source in shallow waters (<15 m) of New York Harbor. Sound sources included rock fracturing by a hydraulic cutterhead dredge and six distinct sources associated with a mechanical backhoe dredging operation during rock excavation. To place sound emitted from these dredges in perspective with other anthropogenic sounds, recordings were also made of several deep-draft commercial vessels. Results are presented as sound pressure levels (SPLs) in one-third octave versus range across the 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency band. To address concerns for protection of fishery resource occupying the harbor, SPL were examined at frequency bands of 50-1000 Hz and 100-400 Hz, the ranges where the majority of fishes without hearing specializations detect sound and the range of greatest sensitivity, respectively. Source levels (dB re 1 µPa-1 m rms) were back calculated using fitted regression (15LogR). The strongest sound sources (180-188.9 dB) were emitted by commercial shipping. Rock fracturing produced a source level of 175 dB, whereas six distinct sources associated with rock excavation had source levels ranging from 164.2 to 179.4 dB re 1 µPa-1 m (rms).

AB - Acoustic pulse propagation in outdoor urban environments is a physically complex phenomenon due to the predominance of reflection, diffraction, and scattering. This is especially true in non-line-of-sight cases, where edge diffraction and high-order scattering are major components of acoustic energy transport. Past work by Albert and Liu [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 127, 1335-1346 (2010)] has shown that many of these effects can be captured using a two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method, which was compared to the measured data recorded in an army training village. In this paper, a full three-dimensional analysis of acoustic pulse propagation is presented. This analysis is enabled by the adaptive rectangular decomposition method by Raghuvanshi, Narain and Lin [IEEE Trans. Visual. Comput. Graphics 15, 789-801 (2009)], which models sound propagation in the same scene in three dimensions. The simulation is run at a much higher usable bandwidth (nearly 450 Hz) and took only a few minutes on a desktop computer. It is shown that a three-dimensional solution provides better agreement with measured data than two-dimensional modeling, especially in cases where propagation over rooftops is important. In general, the predicted acoustic responses match well with measured results for the source/sensor locations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - Background: As the number of sports participants continues to rise, so does the number of sports injuries. Establishing a valid method of identifying athletes at elevated risk for injury could lead to intervention programs that lower injury rates and improve overall athlete performance. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS)TM is an efficient and reliable method to screen movement patterns during the performance of specific tasks. The purpose of this study is to explore the association between pre-season FMS TM scores and the development of injury in a population of collegiate athletes Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study Methods: FMSTM scores were obtained for 160 collegiate athletes and injury development was tracked throughout the season. These athletes were both male and female and participated in contact and noncontact sports. Redundancies were utilized with injury data collection, including medical record reviews and interviews with team athletic trainers, to ensure that all injuries requiring medical attention were captured. At the conclusion of the season, a logistic regression analysis was performed to determine which combination of factors best predicted injury. Results: Athletes with an FMSTM composite score at 14 or below combined with a self-reported past history of injury were at 15 times increased risk of injury. A positive likelihood ratio of 5.8 was calculated which improved the probability of predicting injury from 33% pretest to 74% posttest. Conclusions: This study adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating a predictive relationship between FMSTM composite scores and past history of injury with the development of future injury.

AB - This paper focuses on the development of simplified mathematical models of the cryosphere which may be useful in further understanding possible global climate change impacts and in further assessing future impacts captured by global circulation models (GCMs). The mathematical models developed by leveraging the dominating effects of freezing and thawing within the cryosphere to simplify the relevant heat transport equations are tractable to direct solution or numerical modeling. In this paper, the heat forcing function is assumed to be a linear transformation of temperature (assumed to be represented by proxy realizations). The output from the governing mathematical model is total ice volume of the cryosphere. The basic mathematical model provides information as a systems modeling approach that includes sufficient detail to explain ice volume given the estimation of the heat forcing function. A comparison between modeling results in the estimation of ice volume versus ice volume estimates developed from use of proxy data are shown in the demonstration problems presented.

AB - In the study described here, reinforced and unreinforced specimens of reactive powder concrete were scanned using an X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging system that allowed characterization and measurement of internal features. The X-ray CT imaging was done in conjunction with three-point bending tests of notched beam specimens. Unreinforced specimens were used to measure specific fracture energy in a way that accounts for the irregular shape of the fracture surface. For fiber-reinforced specimens, 3D digital image analysis techniques were used to measure fiber volume fraction, as well as the orientation of each individual fiber. In postfracture scans, the total amount of internal cracking was measured, as was the degree of fiber pullout relative to undamaged specimens. Measurements show that with a nominal steel fiber volume fraction between 3.5 and 4.0% there can be a greater than a 100-fold increase in the net work of load. Through quantitative analysis of the tomographic images, we could account for close to 90% of that increase. The analysis shows that roughly half of the internal energy dissipation comes from matrix cracking, including the crack branching and multiple crack systems facilitated by the fibers, while the remaining energy dissipation is a result of fiber pullout.

AB - The Y-balance test (YBT) is one of the few field expedient tests that have shown predictive validity for injury risk in an athletic population. However, analysis of the YBT in a heterogeneous population of active adults (e.g., military, specific occupations) involving multiple raters with limited experience in a mass screening setting is lacking. The primary purpose of this study was to determine interrater test-retest reliability of the YBT in a military setting using multiple raters. Sixty-four service members (53 males, 11 females) actively conducting military training volunteered to participate. Interrater test-retest reliability of the maximal reach had intraclass correlation coefficients (2,1) of 0.80 to 0.85 with a standard error of measurement ranging from 3.1 to 4.2 cm for the 3 reach directions (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral). Interrater test-retest reliability of the average reach of 3 trails had an intraclass correlation coefficients (2,3) range of 0.85 to 0.93 with an associated standard error of measurement ranging from 2.0 to 3.5cm. The YBT showed good interrater test-retest reliability with an acceptable level of measurement error among multiple raters screening active duty service members. In addition, 31.3% (n = 20 of 64) of participants exhibited an anterior reach asymmetry of >4cm, suggesting impaired balance symmetry and potentially increased risk for injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is an illness that affects many individuals at altitudes above 2,400 m (8,000 ft) resulting in decreased performance. Models that provide quantitative estimates of AMS risk are expanding, but predictive genetic models for AMS susceptibility are still under investigation. Thirty-four male U.S. Army Soldier volunteers were exposed to baseline, 3,000 m, 3,500 m, or 4,500 m altitude conditions in a hypobaric chamber and evaluated for onset of AMS symptoms. In addition, mice were evaluated at extreme hypoxia conditions equivalent to 7,600 m. Real-time polymerase chain reaction hypoxia response array was used to identify 15 genes that were activated in Soldiers and 46 genes that were activated in mice. We identified angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) as a gene that is significantly activated in response to hypoxia (5.8-fold upregulated at 4,500 m in humans). The role of ANGPTL4 in high-altitude response has not been explored. Pretreatment of mice with fenofibrate, an /WGiTW-activating pharmaceutical, had a considerable effect on overall hypoxia response gene expression and resulted in significantly decreased cerebral edema following exposure to hypoxia. Activation of ANGPTL4 may protect against cerebral edema by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor and therefore serve as a potential target for AMS prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study aimed to merge existing methodologies of identifying high-risk soldiers to create a comprehensive testable model to assist leaders in the identification, mitigation, and prevention of negative behavioral health (BH) issues. In 2011, a total of 2,664 active duty U.S. Army soldiers completed a survey of demographic and military characteristics, combat exposures, and BH diagnoses and symptoms. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were fit to examine the relationship between demographic and military characteristics, subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, and positive screening for BH symptoms. The "recent loss of someone close" and self-reporting a history of BH issues were the strongest and most consistent predictors of subthreshold behavioral and social health issues. This study found that individual and occupational factors were associated with subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, which were in turn, associated with screening positive for BH symptoms. The recent loss of someone close (an indicator of grief and loss) was not the study's primary research question, but warrants further investigation to determine its impact on the mental well-being of soldiers.

AB - The military unit is a critical center of gravity in the military's efforts to enhance resilience and the health of the force. The purpose of this article is to augment the military's Total Force Fitness (TFF) guidance with a framework of TFF in units. The framework is based on a Military Demand-Resource model that highlights the dynamic interactions across demands, resources, and outcomes. A joint team of subject-matter experts identified key variables representing unit fitness demands, resources, and outcomes. The resulting framework informs and supports leaders, support agencies, and enterprise efforts to strengthen TFF in units by (1) identifying TFF unit variables aligned with current evidence and operational practices, (2) standardizing communication about TFF in units across the Department of Defense enterprise in a variety of military organizational contexts, (3) improving current resources including evidence- based actions for leaders, (4) identifying and addressing of gaps, and (5) directing future research for enhancing TFF in units. These goals are intended to inform and enhance Service efforts to develop Service-specific TFF models, as well as provide the conceptual foundation for a follow-on article about TFF metrics for units.

AB - The physiological burden created by heat strain and physical exercise, also called thermal-work strain, was quantified for 10 male Marines (age 21.9 ± 2.3 years, height 180.3 ± 5.2 cm, and weight 85.2 ± 10.8 kg) during three dismounted missions in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Heart rate (HR) and core body temperature (Tcore) were recorded every 15 seconds (Equivital EQ-01; Hidalgo, Cambridge, United Kingdom) during periods of light, moderate, and heavy work and used to estimate metabolic rate. Meteorological measures, clothing characteristics, anthropometrics, and estimated metabolic rates were used to predict Tcore for the same missions during March (spring) and July (summer) conditions. Thermal-work strain was quantified from HR and Tcore values using the Physiological Strain Index (PSI) developed by Moran et al. July PSI and Tcore values were predicted and not observed due to lack of access to in-theater warfighters at that time. Our methods quantify and compare the predicted and observed thermal-work strain resulting from environment and worn or carried equipment and illustrate that a small increase in ambient temperature and solar load might result in increased thermal-work strain.

AB - PURPOSE: To compare an empirical, Army doctrine-based (endurance, strength, mobility, military relevant tasks), criterion-referenced, body mass (BM) unbiased Military Optimal Performance Challenge (MOPC) to the Army's Physical Fitness Test (APFT) and thus assisting commanders to determine military readiness. METHODS: Militarily-relevant physical assessments were combined to create a composite MOPC score. The MOPC and APFT were administered to 20 male, military subjects during a 2-week period. Data collection included 3-Mile Run, Mobility Test, Upper/Lower Body Strength/Endurance, Simulated Casualty Evacuation Test. The APFT was administered through Army guidelines before MOPC data collection. RESULTS: The APFT was influenced by BM, lean body mass (LBM) (r = -0.44; r2 = 0.20; p = 0.04), whereas MOPC was less impacted (r = 0.21; r2 = 0.04; p = 0.32). Eight subjects, as viewed by %APFT, are "fit for duty" (80.6%); however, all eight subjects' mean score as %MOPC was <50%. CONCLUSIONS: The MOPC offers a robust approach to military readiness and is free of the confounding influence of BM. The MOPC is a unique assessment requiring a multitude of abilities to garner success and may assist in training for functional combat performance skills demanding high work capacities.

AB - OBJECTIVE: To examine the overall and drug-specific positive rates of Army urinalysis specimens tested from fiscal year 2001 (FY01) through FY11. METHODS: We analyzed annual Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory results from FY01 to FY11. RESULTS: From FY01 to FY11, the Army's positive rate was 1.06%. The component rates were 0.84%, 1.53%, and 1.94% for the active duty, Reserve, and National Guard, respectively. The Army's average positive rate for marijuana from FY01 to FY11 was 0.79%, and the cocaine rate was 0.26%. From FY06 to FY11, the average positive rate for oxycodone was 0.74% and the d-amphetamine rate was 0.30%. Apart from oxymorphone, a key metabolite of oxycodone, the positive rate for all other drugs tested was below 0.25%. The FY11 drug positive rates in decreasing order were oxymorphone > oxycodone > marijuana > d-amphetamine > codeine > cocaine > morphine > d-methamphetamine > methylenedioxymethamphetamine > heroin > methylenedioxyamphetamine > phencyclidine. Although the drug positive rate for heroin remains low, the number of positives has increased dramatically since FY05. CONCLUSION: The drug-testing program continues to serve as a vital deterrent as evidenced by the Army's overall positive rate being well below the 8.9% estimated illicit use in the civilian population.

AB - Environmental heat illness and injuries are a serious concern for the Army and Marines. Currently, the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index is used to evaluate heat injury risk. The index is a weighted average of dry-bulb temperature (Tdb), black globe temperature (Tbg), and natural wet-bulb temperature (Tnwb). The WBGT index would be mote widely used if it could be determined using standard weather instruments. This study compares models developed by Liljegren at Argonne National Laboratory and by Matthew at the U.S. Army Institute of Environmental Medicine that calculate WBGT using standard meteorological measurements. Both models use air temperature (Ta), relative humidity, wind speed, and global solar radiation (RG) to calculate Tnwb and Tbg. The WBGT and meteorological data used for model validation were collected at Griffin, Georgia and Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Arizona. Liljegren (YPG: R2 = 0.709, p < 0.01; Griffin: R2 = 0.854, p < 0.01) showed closer agreement between calculated and actual WBGT than Matthew (YPG: R2 = 0.630, p < 0.01; Griffin: R2 = 0.677, p < 0.01). Compared to actual WBGT heat categorization, the Matthew model tended to underpredict compared to Liljegren's classification. Results indicate Liljegren is an acceptable alternative to direct WBGT measurement, but verification under other environmental conditions is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Increasing numbers of Staphylococcus aureus infections demonstrate antibiotic resistance. Military populations experiencing crowding are at increased risk of community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. High prevalence of CA-MRSA infection among Army personnel was previously documented at Fort Benning, GA from 2002 to 2007. Purpose: To ascertain recent CA-MRSA trends at Fort Benning regarding antibiotic susceptibility, infection rates, and treatment regimens among Army personnel. Methods: Incident CA-MRSA cases among active duty members/trainees from January 2008 to December 2010 were identified using active surveillance and laboratory data. Results: In total, 2,171 infections were identified, representing 5,794 CA-MRSA-related clinic visits. Annual rates decreased from 33 to 27 infections per 1,000 soldiers from 2008 to 2010. Approximately 78% of isolates were from training units. Approximately 4% of infections required hospitalization. Most infections (97%) were treated with antibiotics (36% received antibiotics and wound drainage). Antibiotic susceptibility patterns remained comparable to previous assessments. Conclusion: The observed decline in CA-MRSA rates and associated hospitalizations, coupled with stable antibiotic susceptibility patterns, is encouraging. Passive surveillance using laboratory records proved useful in identifying infection and could enhance detection across training sites. Given the continued high CA-MRSA prevalence among trainees, providers/public health personnel should remain vigilant to bolster prevention, detection, and treatment efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article examines how the U.S. Army came to adopt the physical profile. In 1945, the Army adopted the physical profile system that has, with some changes, survived to this day. Although the profile system does not always work smoothly, it replaced a system that was failing completely to deliver physically fit men to combat units. The World War II problems were the outgrowth of two World War I systems that had been adopted to speed mobilization by (1) accepting physically substandard men and (2) matching men to a noncombat job by their skills. By simply identifying a soldier as "General Service" or "Limited Service" it did not provide enough information about his limitations. In addition, the Army used an intelligence test to grade manpower, but because it lacked information on a man's physical abilities/limitations, that data were misused to allot manpower. These policies interacted with a societal disdain for the "handicapped" and "substandard" and made it hard to use Limited Service men. Adding detail to the information on physical abilities was the Army's solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Tourniquet use recently became common in war, but knowledge gaps remain regarding analysis of recovered devices. The purpose of this study was to analyze tourniquets to identify opportunities for improved training. Methods: We analyzed tourniquets recovered from deceased service members serving in support of recent combat operations by a team at Dover Air Force Base from 2010 to 2012. Device makes and models, breakage deformation, band routing, and windlass turn numbers were counted. Results: We recovered 824 tourniquets; 390 were used in care and 434 were carried unused. Most tourniquets were recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (Combat Application Tourniquet [CAT] or Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet). The ban was routed once through the buckle in 37% of used CATs, twice in 62%, and 1% had none. For tourniquets with data, the windlass turn number averaged 3.2 (range, 0-9). The CAT windlass turn number was associated positively wit tourniquet deformation as moderate or severe deformation began at 2 turns, increased in likelihood stepwise with each turn, and became omnipresent at 7 or more. Conclusions: Tourniquet counts, band routings, windlass turn numbers, and deformation rates are candidate topics for instructors to refine training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: The Combat Ready Clamp is indicated to stop difficult inguinal bleeding on the battlefield, the most common type of junctional bleeding and now the most common cause of preventable battlefield death. The purpose of the present study is to report the data of clamp development to help appliers use it correctly. Methods: Wake Forest University investigators used a cadaver model to test the clamp's ability to control hemorrhage. Ten fresh cadavers were made to simulate inguinal and popliteal wound bleeding. Blood simulant was pumped to quantify device effectiveness in testing. Points of application included proximal pressure point control of popliteal, inguinal, and bilateral bleeding. Results: Clamp use promptly controlled pulsing arterial hemorrhages from inguinal, popliteal, and bilateral wounds. The device, when placed on the common lilac artery, stopped all ipsilateral distal bleeding. Conclusions: The evidence of how the clamp works in the cadaver model showed that clamp use can plausibly be tailored to control inguinal hemorrhage from one wound, control two ipsilateral wounds with hemorrhage from one artery (e.g., common iliac artery), and control bilateral inguinal wounds (compression of the origins of bilateral common iliac arteries).

AB - Training nor an assessment of what service members perceive as useful from their perspective. In response to this knowledge gap, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Human Factors & Medicine Research & Technology Task Group "Mental Health Training" initiated a survey and interview with seven to twenty recruits from nine nations to inform the development of such training (N = 121). All nations provided data from soldiers joining the military as volunteers, whereas two nations also provided data from conscripts. Results from the volunteer data showed relatively consistent ranking in terms of perceived demands, coping strategies, and preferences for resilience skill training across the nations. Analysis of data from conscripts identified a select number of differences compared to volunteers. Subjects also provided examples of coping with stress during Basic Training that can be used in future training; themes are presented here. Results are designed to show the kinds of demands facing new recruits and coping methods used to overcome these demands to develop relevant resilience training for NATO nations [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: There is a scarcity of analytic research on active duty Army (ADA) knee injuries (K]), such as soft tissue knee injuries (STKI), which are the predominant ADA KI pattern. Purpose: To quantify the independent adjusted association of significant ADA STKI risk factors, 2000-2005. Materials/Methods: Using the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database, we (I) captured absolute STKI numbers and rates (N = 83,323)- and (2) developed regression models to determine significant STK1 risk factors. Models included STKI overall and subcategories: meniscus, patella, anterior/posterior cruciate ligament, and medial/lateral cruciate ligament. Results: Eight risk factors significantly increased STKI. They are: (I) prior KI (within 2 years) (odds ratio [OR] 9.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 9.67-10.00); (2) increasing length of service (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.76-1.90); (3) increasing age (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.50-1.65); (4) prior deployment (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.36-1.41); (5) prior ankle injury (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.14-1.19); (6) Infantry occupation (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04-1.21); (7) marital status (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.08-1.12); (8) and prior hip injury (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.12). Major Conclusion: Soldiers with a prior KI have nearly a 10-fold increased relative risk of developing a subsequent STKI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - Background: Knowledge is limited regarding how long improvements in biomechanics remain after completion of a lower extremity injury prevention program. Purpose: To evaluate the effects of an injury prevention program on movement technique and peak vertical ground-reaction forces (VGRF) over time compared with a standard warm-up (SWU) program. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 1104 incoming freshmen (age range, 17-22 years) at a military academy in the United States volunteered to participate. Participants were cluster-randomized by military company to either the Dynamic Integrated Movement Enhancement (DIME) injury prevention program or SWU. A random subsample of participants completed a standardized jump-landing task at each time point: immediately before the intervention (PRE), immediately after (POST), and 2 (POST2M), 4 (POST4M), 6 (POST6M), and 8 months (POST8M) after the intervention. VGRF data collected during the jump-landing task were normalized to body weight (%BW). The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) was used to evaluate movement technique during the jump landing. The change scores (Δ) for each variable (LESS, VGRF) between the group’s average value at PRE and each time point were calculated. Separate univariate analyses of variance were performed to evaluate group differences. Results: The results showed a greater decrease in mean (±SD) VGRF in the DIME group compared with the SWU group at all retention time points: POST2M (SWU [Δ%BW], −0.13 ± 0.82; DIME, −0.62 ± 0.91; P = .001), POST4M (SWU, −0.15 ± 0.98; DIME,−0.46 ± 0.64; P = .04), POST6M (SWU, −0.04 ± 0.96; DIME, −0.53 ± 0.83; P = .004), and POST8M (SWU, 0.38 ± 0.95; DIME, −0.11 ± 0.98; P = .003), but there was not a significant improvement in the DIME group between PRE and POST8M (Δ%BW, −0.11 ± 0.98). No group differences in Δ LESS were observed. Conclusion: The study findings demonstrated that an injury prevention program performed as a warm-up can reduce vertical ground-reaction forces compared with a standard warm-up but a maintenance program is likely necessary in order for continued benefit. Clinical Relevance: Injury prevention programs may need to be performed constantly, or at least every sport season, in order for participants to maintain the protective effects against injury.

N2 - The purpose of this research was to utilize a series of models to estimate the stress in a cross section of the tibia, located 62% from the proximal end, during walking. Twenty-eight male, active duty soldiers walked on an instrumented treadmill while external force data and kinematics were recorded. A rigid body model was used to estimate joint moments and reaction forces. A musculoskeletal model was used to gather muscle length, muscle velocity, moment arm and orientation information. Optimization procedures were used to estimate muscle forces and finally internal bone forces and moments were applied to an inhomogeneous, subject specific bone model obtained from CT scans to estimate stress in the bone cross section. Validity was assessed by comparison to stresses calculated from strain gage data in the literature and sensitivity was investigated using two simplified versions of the bone model-a homogeneous model and an ellipse approximation. Peak compressive stress occurred on the posterior aspect of the cross section (−47.5±14.9 MPa). Peak tensile stress occurred on the anterior aspect (27.0±11.7 MPa) while the location of peak shear was variable between subjects (7.2±2.4 MPa). Peak compressive, tensile and shear stresses were within 0.52 MPa, 0.36 MPa and 3.02 MPa respectively of those calculated from the converted strain gage data. Peak values from a inhomogeneous model of the bone correlated well with homogeneous model (normal: 0.99; shear: 0.94) as did the normal ellipse model ( r =0.89–0.96). However, the relationship between shear stress in the inhomogeneous model and ellipse model was less accurate ( r =0.64). The procedures detailed in this paper provide a non-invasive and relatively quick method of estimating cross sectional stress that holds promise for assessing injury and osteogenic stimulus in bone during normal physical activity.

N2 - The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether 6 weeks of sprint interval training (SIT) is associated with changes in mood and perceived health in women at risk for developing metabolic syndrome (MetS). Physically inactive women (30-65 years) were randomized to 6 weeks of nutrition meetings and SIT (n = 23; 3 bouts/week of 4-8 30-s cycle sprints with 4-min recovery) or a nonexercise control condition (CON; n = 24). Before and after the 6-week intervention, perceived health status and mood were assessed. Clinically relevant increases in role-physical scores (ES = 0.64) and vitality (ES = 0.52) were found after 6 weeks of SIT compared with a nonexercise control group. For middle-aged women at risk for MetS, it is concluded that high-intensity, low-volume SIT (1) increases feelings of vitality and perceptions of having fewer physical limitations and (2) does not induce mood disturbances as occurs with high-volume, high-intensity training.

AB - Providing behavioral health care to numerous beneficiaries spread over a large and dangerous area is a unique and challenging responsibility faced by the U.S. Army in the deployed environment. We describe the use of telebehavioral health as one tool available to behavioral health officers in Afghanistan to reach remote service members when face-to-face encounters are not possible or practical. Finally, challenges to the current telebehavioral system established during Operation Enduring Freedom are discussed, with recommendations made for implementation in future deployed settings.

AB - Behavior in response to a crisis will result from a combination of individual and situational variables. In spite of the increased recognition of the importance of situational variables, a literature and methodological toolkit for the study of situational influences that is comparable with those available for individual variables has not yet emerged. However, the recently developed Riverside Situational Q-sort provides a novel method for quantifying subjective impressions of any situation. This proof-of-concept demonstration asked participants to complete the RSQ in response to an imaginary food crisis situation communicated via one of three message sources (social media, organizational website and traditional media). Results illustrate the potential of this method to provide quantitative evaluations of subjective responses to crisis situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - It seems strange to claim that it is dangerous for organizations to achieve the success they seek; however, there are numerous cases of successful organizations facing decline soon after achieving success. This often occurs because these organizations fall into the trap of focusing too much on execution once they achieve success, which causes them to neglect the innovative approach that enabled achieving success in the first place. To avoid this trap, leaders must ensure that their organizations have a clearly identified and transformative purpose that guides organizational member work and inspires them to improve. The leader must also ensure that there is a well-established and understood process for improvement that facilitates learning and innovation. Finally, the leader must model, and organizational policies must reflect, the proper balance between execution and innovation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - ABSTRACT For decades, researchers have successfully used ground-based surveys to understand localized spatial and temporal patterns in stopover habitat use by migratory birds. Recent technological advances with WSR-88D radar now allow such investigations on much broader spatial scales. Both methods are assumed to accurately quantify patterns in migrant bird communities, yet information is lacking regarding relationships between radar estimates of migration and different ground-based monitoring methods. From 2005 to 2007, we monitored migrant communities on or near two Department of Defense installations in the spring (Ft. Polk Military Complex, LA; U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command, Yuma Proving Ground, AZ) and on two installations in the fall (Ft. Polk Military Complex, LA; Eglin Air Force Base, FL) using both ground-based transect surveys and radar imagery of birds aloft. We modeled daily changes in migrant abundance and positive and negative species turnover measured on the ground as a function of radar estimates of migrant exodus and input densities. Radar data were not significant predictors of any response variable in any season either in the southeastern or southwestern United States, indicating a disparity between the results obtained using different methods. Multiple unique sources of error associated with each technique likely contributed to the conflicting outcomes, and researchers should take great care when selecting monitoring methods appropriate to address research questions, effects of management practices, or when comparing the results of migration studies using different survey techniques. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - RESUMEN Por décadas los investigadores han utilizado exitosamente censos terrestres para tratar de entender los cambios espaciales y temporales de migratorios en lugares de paradas. Los recientes avances tecnológicos con el radar WSR-88D, permiten, actualmente, este tipo de investigación en una escala espacial más amplia. Se asume, que ambos métodos indicados cuantifican con precisión los patrones migratorios en comunidades de aves, aunque falta información referente a las relaciones entre los estimados con el radar y los de otros métodos de censos terrestres. De 2005 al 2007, monitoreamos comunidades migratorias durante la primavera, en o cerca de dos instalaciones del Departamento de Defensa (complejo militar Ft. Polk, LA; Comando de Pruebas y Evaluación del ejercito de los EUA, Yuma, Arizona) y otras dos durante el otoño (complejo militar Ft. Polk, LA; la base Eglin de la Fuerza Aérea, Fl), utilizando censos terrestres e imágenes de radar. Modelamos diariamente los cambios en la abundancia de migratorios y los cambios positivos o negativos de especies al usar censos en el terreno y como función de los estimados del radar en el éxodo migratorio y su aportación en las densidades. Los datos del radar no permitieron predecir, de forma significativa, ninguna variable de respuesta, en ninguna de las dos temporadas, y en ninguna de las dos localidades al sureste o suroeste de las Estados Unidos, e indicaron disparidad entre los resultados obtenidos utilizando diferentes métodos. Errores múltiples, asociados a cada técnica, contribuyeron a los resultados conflictivos, por lo que los investigadores deben tener cuidado cuando seleccionen el método de monitoreo más apropiado para contestar preguntas particulares, o el efecto de prácticas de manejo o cuando quieran comparar los resultados de estudios sobre migratorios que usen diferentes técnicas.

AB - Comparative inventories in 1969 and 1970 and in 2008 of vegetation from 30 forest stands downstream of Garrison Dam on the Missouri River in central North Dakota showed (a) a sharp decline in cottonwood regeneration; (b) a strong compositional shift toward dominance by green ash; and (c) large increases in invasive understory species, such as smooth brome, reed canary grass, and Canada thistle. These changes, and others discovered during remeasurement, have been caused by a complex of factors, some related to damming (altered hydrologic and sediment regimes, delta formation, and associated wet-dry cycles) and some not (diseases and expansion of invasive plants). Dominance of green ash, however, may be short lived, given the likelihood that the emerald ash borer will arrive in the Dakotas in 5-10 years, with potentially devastating effects. The prospects for recovery of this valuable ecosystem, rich in ecosystem goods and services and in American history, are daunting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A numerical model was used to better understand ice-related scour processes at a large lock and dam. Large scour holes in front of Melvin Price Lock and Dam, the largest navigation structure on the Mississippi River, present a unique opportunity to explore this effect because the scour has been so severe and well documented. Likely scenarios for river ice accumulation and passage were identified based on historical flows and observations. For all simulations, the ice accumulated upstream of the gates as observed in the field and the ice thicknesses were found to match well with the general shape of the scour surveys. Ice thicknesses as large as 5.9 m and under-ice depth-averaged water velocities as great as 6.6 m/s were observed in the simulations. By using a shear stress criterion, the rock size necessary to prevent the scour exceeded the original rock size of 0.33 m for six of the seven cases. This study demonstrates that the presence of a localized thick ice accumulation increases the potential for bed shear and may cause movement of stone bed protection sized for open water conditions. Ice processes should therefore be considered in the design or rehabilitation of riprap protection at large lock and dam structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An autonomous, wireless, in-situ sensor (AWISS) was demonstrated for the detection of Escherichia coli. A prototype battery-powered optical AWISS, consisting of a miniature spectrophotometer, monitored the changes in fluorescence intensity that occur when the E. coli-synthesized β-glucuronidase enzyme hydrolyzes the reagent's glycosidic bond, releasing fluorophores into solution. Laboratory testing with the prototype sensor showed the AWISS was capable of detecting low concentrations (<100 colony forming units [CFU]/100 mL) in less than eight hours. Higher concentrations (>5000 CFU/100 mL), indicative of a possible combined sewage discharge, could be detected in under one hour. A seven-day demonstration utilized the prototype sensor to sample and record the bacterial water quality of the St. Joseph River in South Bend, Indiana. Every six hours a new sample was drawn into a custom-designed stop-flow reaction chamber and injected with a soluble reagent. A wireless transmitter sent intensity data to a remote monitoring station. The deployment produced 19 individual sampling events, of which 15 were compared to culture methods approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Four samples were drawn in the middle of the night and not verified. Of the 15 verified samples, 13 correctly identified the presence or absence of an E. coli concentration defined as significant by the USEPA and Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) thresholds of 125 CFU/100 mL.

AB - Using mass balance studies, we show that wheat straw readily bound several times its own weight in crude oil floating on salt water, the straw was reusable following repeated extractions of the oil with diesel, and its presence significantly increased the rate of biodegradation of the oil without the use of dispersants. Previous studies in this area have indicated a preference for synthetic polymeric materials because of their ability to bind greater amounts of oil and their reusability, as compared to organic materials including straw. However, it is clear that plastic leads to ecological problems in marine environments and does not typically provide bioavailable nutrients such as nitrogen or phosphorus to aid the natural oil biodegradation process. Our results suggest the advisability of using biomass such as straw for crude oil remediation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Flumioxazin has recently (2010) been registered for aquatic use for control of hydrilla and other noxious invasive aquatic plant species. Due to the rapid degradation of flumioxazin, especially in high pH water, some hydrilla research trials have produced less than desirable results with rapid plant regrowth. Therefore, laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of pH on flumioxazin's effect on photosynthesis. Flumioxazin applied at concentrations ≥ 200 µg ai L-1 in high (9.0) pH water and ≥ 100 µg L-1 in low (6.0) pH water required 68 to 123 h to reduce photosynthesis by 50% (ET50). The effect of 400 µg L-1 flumioxazin on photosynthesis of apical hydrilla tips was also compared at low (20 µmol m-2 s-1), medium (170 µmol m-2 s-1), and high (400 µmol m-2 s-1) light levels at pH 9.0. Low light--treated tips were still photosynthetic at approximately 73% of the nontreated control plants 168 h after treatment. Low light--treated hydrilla required an estimated 303 h to achieve a 50% reduction in photosynthesis, while high light plants only required 99 h. Chlorophyll content of hydrilla was reduced as flumioxazin concentration was increased from 100 to 1,600 µg L-1. These data indicate that flumioxazin activity on hydrilla photosynthesis is influenced by herbicide concentration, water pH, and light intensity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Summary WRKY transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators of many plant processes, including the responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, senescence, seed dormancy and seed germination. For over 15 years, limited evidence has been available suggesting that WRKY TFs may play roles in regulating plant responses to the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), notably some WRKY TFs are ABA-inducible repressors of seed germination. However, the roles of WRKY TFs in other aspects of ABA signalling, and the mechanisms involved, have remained unclear. Recent significant progress in ABA research has now placed specific WRKY TFs firmly in ABA-responsive signalling pathways, where they act at multiple levels. In Arabidopsis, WRKY TFs appear to act downstream of at least two ABA receptors: the cytoplasmic PYR/PYL/RCAR-protein phosphatase 2C-ABA complex and the chloroplast envelope-located ABAR-ABA complex. In vivo and in vitro promoter-binding studies show that the target genes for WRKY TFs that are involved in ABA signalling include well-known ABA-responsive genes such as ABF2, ABF4, ABI4, ABI5, MYB2, DREB1a, DREB2a and RAB18. Additional well-characterized stress-inducible genes such as RD29A and COR47 are also found in signalling pathways downstream of WRKY TFs. These new insights also reveal that some WRKY TFs are positive regulators of ABA-mediated stomatal closure and hence drought responses. Conversely, many WRKY TFs are negative regulators of seed germination, and controlling seed germination appears a common function of a subset of WRKY TFs in flowering plants. Taken together, these new data demonstrate that WRKY TFs are key nodes in ABA-responsive signalling networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The environmental prevalence of engineered nanomaterials, particularly nanoparticulate silver (AgNP), is expected to increase substantially. The ubiquitous use of commercial products containing AgNP may result in their release to the environment, and the potential for ecological effects is unknown. Detecting engineered nanomaterials is one of the greatest challenges in quantifying their risks. Thus, it is imperative to develop techniques capable of measuring and characterizing exposures, while dealing with the innate difficulties of nanomaterial detection in environmental samples, such as low-engineered nanomaterial concentrations, aggregation, and complex matrices. Here the authors demonstrate the use of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, operated in a single-particle counting mode (SP-ICP-MS), to detect and quantify AgNP. In the present study, two AgNP products were measured by SP-ICP-MS, including one of precisely manufactured size and shape, as well as a commercial AgNP-containing health food product. Serial dilutions, filtration, and acidification were applied to confirm that the method detected particles. Differentiation of dissolved and particulate silver (Ag) is a feature of the technique. Analysis of two wastewater samples demonstrated the applicability of SP-ICP-MS at nanograms per liter Ag concentrations. In this pilot study, AgNP was found at 100 to 200 ng/L in the presence of 50 to 500 ng/L dissolved Ag. The method provides the analytical capability to monitor Ag and other metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in fate, transport, stability, and toxicity studies using a commonly available laboratory instrument. Rapid throughput and element specificity are additional benefits of SP-ICP-MS as a measurement tool for metal and metal oxide engineered nanoparticles. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - Ecotoxicology research is using many methods for engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), but the collective experience from researchers has not been documented. This paper reports the practical issues for working with ENMs and suggests nano-specific modifications to protocols. The review considers generic practical issues, as well as specific issues for aquatic tests, marine grazers, soil organisms, and bioaccumulation studies. Current procedures for cleaning glassware are adequate, but electrodes are problematic. The maintenance of exposure concentration is challenging, but can be achieved with some ENMs. The need to characterize the media during experiments is identified, but rapid analytical methods are not available to do this. The use of sonication and natural/synthetic dispersants are discussed. Nano-specific biological endpoints may be developed for a tiered monitoring scheme to diagnose ENM exposure or effect. A case study of the algal growth test highlights many small deviations in current regulatory test protocols that are allowed (shaking, lighting, mixing methods), but these should be standardized for ENMs. Invertebrate ( Daphnia) tests should account for mechanical toxicity of ENMs. Fish tests should consider semistatic exposure to minimize wastewater and animal husbandry. The inclusion of a benthic test is recommended for the base set of ecotoxicity tests with ENMs. The sensitivity of soil tests needs to be increased for ENMs and shortened for logistics reasons; improvements include using Caenorhabditis elegans, aquatic media, and metabolism endpoints in the plant growth tests. The existing bioaccumulation tests are conceptually flawed and require considerable modification, or a new test, to work for ENMs. Overall, most methodologies need some amendments, and recommendations are made to assist researchers.

AB - Background The worst Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in history has resulted in more than 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths. We present the final results of two phase 1 trials of an attenuated, replication-competent, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV)-based vaccine candidate designed to prevent EVD. Methods We conducted two phase 1, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalation trials of an rVSV-based vaccine candidate expressing the glycoprotein of a Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV). A total of 39 adults at each site (78 participants in all) were consecutively enrolled into groups of 13. At each site, volunteers received one of three doses of the rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine (3 million plaque-forming units [PFU], 20 million PFU, or 100 million PFU) or placebo. Volunteers at one of the sites received a second dose at day 28. Safety and immunogenicity were assessed. Results The most common adverse events were injection-site pain, fatigue, myalgia, and headache. Transient rVSV viremia was noted in all the vaccine recipients after dose 1. The rates of adverse events and viremia were lower after the second dose than after the first dose. By day 28, all the vaccine recipients had seroconversion as assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against the glycoprotein of the ZEBOV-Kikwit strain. At day 28, geometric mean titers of antibodies against ZEBOV glycoprotein were higher in the groups that received 20 million PFU or 100 million PFU than in the group that received 3 million PFU, as assessed by ELISA and by pseudovirion neutralization assay. A second dose at 28 days after dose 1 significantly increased antibody titers at day 56, but the effect was diminished at 6 months. Conclusions This Ebola vaccine candidate elicited anti-Ebola antibody responses. After vaccination, rVSV viremia occurred frequently but was transient. These results support further evaluation of the vaccine dose of 20 million PFU for preexposure prophylaxis and suggest that a second dose may boost antibody responses.

AB - Purpose: This study aimed to compare WBGT measurements at three locations along the Boston Marathon race course and compare WBGT estimates for meteorological stations and 72-h advanced WBGT forecasts. Methods: WBGT was measured hourly from 1000 to 1400 h at approximately 7 km, approximately 18 km, and approximately 30 km on the Boston Marathon race course. Simultaneous WBGT estimates were made for two meteorological stations southeast of the course via a commercial online system, which also provided 72-h advanced forecasts. Results: The measurement difference (mean ± SD) among course locations was 0.2°C ± 1.8°C WBGT (ANOVA, P > 0.05). The difference between course and stations was 1.9°C ± 2.4°C WBGT (/-test, P < 0.05). Station values underestimated (n = 98) or overestimated (n = 13) course values by >3°C WBGT (>0.5 flag category) in 111 of 245 paired comparisons (45%). Higher black globe and lower wet bulb temperatures explained over- and underestimates, respectively. Significant underestimates ofWBGT resulted in misclassification of green (labeled white) and black (labeled red) course flag categories (x2 , P < 0.05). Forecast data significantly underestimated red (labeled amber) and black (labeled red) course flag categories. Conclusions: Differences in WBGT index along 23 km of the Boston Marathon race route can be small enough to warrant single measurements. However, significant misclassification of flag categories occurred using WBGT estimates for meteorological stations; thus, local measurements are preferred. If the relation between station WBGT forecasts and the race sites can be established, the forecast WBGT values could be corrected to give advanced warning of approximate flag conditions. Similar work is proposed for other venues to improve heat stress monitoring.

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

AB - Background Thoracic SMT can improve symptoms in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome. However, at this time the mechanisms of SMT are not well established. It is possible that changes in pain sensitivity may occur following SMT. Objectives To assess the immediate pain response in patients with shoulder pain following thoracic spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) using pressure pain threshold (PPT), and to assess the relationship of change in pain sensitivity to patient-rated outcomes of pain and function following treatment. Design Randomized Controlled Study. Methods Subjects with unilateral subacromial impingement syndrome (n = 45) were randomly assigned to receive treatment with thoracic SMT or sham thoracic SMT. PPT was measured at the painful shoulder (deltoid) and unaffected regions (contralateral deltoid and bilateral lower trapezius areas) immediately pre- and post-treatment. Patient-rated outcomes were pain (numeric pain rating scale – NPRS), function (Pennsylvania Shoulder Score – Penn), and global rating of change (GROC). Results There were no significant differences between groups in pre-to post-treatment changes in PPT (p ≥ 0.583) nor were there significant changes in PPT within either group (p ≥ 0.372) following treatment. NPRS, Penn and GROC improved across both groups (p < 0.001), but there were no differences between the groups (p ≥ 0.574). Conclusion There were no differences in pressure pain sensitivity between participants receiving thoracic SMT versus sham thoracic SMT. Both groups had improved patient-rated pain and function within 24–48 h of treatment, but there was no difference in outcomes between the groups.

AB - The article cites a study which examined the effects of musclespecific exercise variation between consecutive sessions on the repeated bout effect (RBE). The study findings suggest that incline curls conferred a protective effect during subsequent preacher curls in a similar way to repeating incline curls; therefore, the RBE was not exercise specific.

AB - Nonnative Lehmann lovegrass ( Eragrostis lehmanniana) has invaded large areas of the Southwestern United States, and its impact on native plants is not fully understood. Palmer's agave ( Agave palmeri), an important resource for many pollinators, is a key native plant potentially threatened by E. lehmanniana. Understanding potential impacts of E. lehmanniana on A. palmeri is critical for anticipating the future of the desert community where they coexist and for addressing management concerns about associated threatened and endangered species. Our study provides strong indications that E. lehmanniana negatively impacts A. palmeri in several ways. Areas of high E. lehmanniana abundance were associated with significantly lower densities and greater relative frequencies of small A. palmeri, suggesting that E. lehmanniana may exclude A. palmeri. There were no significant differences in species richness, abundance, or community composition when comparing flower associates associated with A. palmeri in areas of high and low E. lehmanniana abundance. However, we did find significantly lower connectedness within the pollination network associated with A. palmeri in areas with high E. lehmanniana abundance. Although E. lehmanniana forms thick stands that would presumably increase fire frequency, there was no significant association between E. lehmanniana and fire frequency. Interestingly, medium to high densities of A. palmeri were associated with areas of greater fire frequency. The complex ramifications of E. lehmanniana invasion for the long-lived A. palmeri and interlinked desert community warrant continued study, as these species are likely to continue to be found in close association due to their similar soil preferences.

AB - In response to a hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome case in November 2000, a seasonal rodent-borne disease surveillance program was initiated at Dagmar North Training Area (DNTA), Gyeonggi Province, Republic of Korea. From April 2001-December 2005, 1,848 small mammals were captured. Apodemus agrarius accounted for 92.5%, followed by Mus musculus (3.6%), Crocidura lasiura (2.1%), and Microtus fortis (1.1%). Three species of rodents were found to be antibody-positive (Ab+) for Hantaan virus (HTNV): A. agrarius (22.3%), M. musculus (9.1%), and M. fortis (5.0%). Ab+ rates for A. agrarius increased with increasing weight (age), except for those weighing <10 g. he peak HTNV transmission period in Korea coincided with the peak reproductive potential of A. agrarius during the fall (August/September) surveys. HTNV strains from DNTA were distinct from HTNV strains from the People's Republic of China. From these studies, more accurate risk assessments can be developed to better protect personnel from rodent-borne diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Since the inception of the global effort to remediate contaminated sites back in the 1970s, countless millions of soil samples have been collected and sent to laboratories for chemical analysis. Most of those soil samples were collected as discrete samples, and despite the efforts of those who collected them, the sampling results were often difficult at best to interpret. Relatively recently some professionals in the environmental field have advanced an approach generally known as incremental sampling. Incremental sampling tackles head-on many of the thorny issues that challenge every soil sampling campaign, and it is finding wider acceptance. The time is ripe for a national—or perhaps even international—dialogue concerning incremental sampling, particularly as it seems to address many of the shortcomings of common soil sampling practices.

AB - Bedform (ripple) geometry is an important feature in the nearshore that can significantly enhance wave energy dissipation. Ripples regulate wave transformation and influence the sediment transport phenomenon. These issues are of particular importance when determining beach erosion and investigating other coastal processes. Although numerous studies have addressed the issue of bedform geometry under surface gravity waves, no single model is considered adequate. The reintive roughness and subsequent wave energy dissipation are governed by attributes that include ripple height and wavelength. The comparatively large wave tank facility at Davidson Laboratory (Stevens Institute of Technology, Castle Point on the Hudson, Hoboken, New Jersey) provided an ideal opportunity for investigating bedform features for a flat bed, as well as the novel study of a sloped sediment bed. Our results provide new data that strengthen prior relationships and demonstrate that a sloped surface may be modeled in a similar fashion to a flat sediment bed. We have successfully compared irregular waves from the laboratory to field measurements and selected an existing model that is consisttnt with our data. Perhaps one of the most significant conclusions from this research is that the identified models for ripple dimensions on the flat surface predict values for bedform geometry on the sloped surface as well.

AB - The authors provide a discussion of the paper "Simulated Wave-Induced Erosion of the Mississippi River--Gulf Outlet Levees During the Hurricane Katrina," by Rune Stiresund et al in the May/June 2010 issue. They argue that the selection of hydrodynamic model by the authors with no documented applicability to the levee runup and overtopping problem of interest is puzzling. They also suggest the failure of the authors to check the validity of LS-DYNA model used for overtopping rate calculation.

AB - Cesium-137 (C137) is a radioactive source that could be utilized in the construction of a radioactive dispersal device (RDD). The objective of this study was to examine the uptake of Cs+ by common structural materials in the presence of water by using batch experiments with nonradioactive cesium chloride (CsCl133) as a surrogate for the radionuclide. Uptake kinetics and adsorption isotherms of Cs+ were measured on a diverse set of building materials, as were the effects of pH on the sorption processes. The results showed that wood materials, metal filings, and organic building materials and supplies did not sorb significant amounts of Cs+, but red brick, concrete block, drop ceiling panels, and clay materials retained Cs+ strongly. Adsorption kinetics were fast, and sorption isotherms could be characterized as linear. The solution pH did not have a significant effect on Cs+ sorption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Genetic viability of threatened and endangered species is of increasing concern with habitat loss and fragmentation. Valuable assessments of the genetic status of endangered species are difficult in most cases, where only single sample estimates are available. Using historical and contemporary samples, we assessed the impact of both historical and recent demographic changes on population genetics of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler, ( Dendroica chrysoparia). Our study documents a steep decline in genetic diversity in an endangered species over a 100-year period, along with concurrent increase in genetic differentiation, and low contemporary effective sizes for all the populations we evaluated. While adding to the growing body of literature that describes the genetic impacts of habitat fragmentation, our study may also serve as an informative guide to future management of endangered species. Our study underlines the importance of long term population genetic monitoring in understanding the full extent of genetic changes in endangered species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A fundamental goal of restoration is the re-establishment of plant diversity representative of native vegetation. However, many prairie restorations or Conservation Reserve Program sites have been seeded with warm-season grasses, leading to grass-dominated, low-diversity restorations not representative of native grasslands. These dominant grasses are strongly mycotrophic, while many subordinate forb species appear to be less dependent on mycorrhizal symbiosis. Therefore, manipulating arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may be useful in promoting establishment and growth of forb species in grass-dominated prairie restorations. To assess the potential role of mycorrhizae in affecting the productivity and community composition of restored tallgrass prairie, we conducted a 4-year field experiment on an 8-year-old grassland restoration at the Konza Prairie in northeastern Kansas, USA. At the initiation of our study, seeds of 12 forb species varying in degree of mycorrhizal dependence were added to established grass-dominated plots. Replicate plots were treated bi-weekly with a soil drench of fungicide (Topsin-M) over four growing seasons and compared to non-treated control plots to assess the role of AMF in affecting plant species composition, productivity, leaf tissue quality, and diversity in restored tallgrass prairie. Topsin applications successfully reduced mycorrhizal colonization of grass roots to approximately 60-80% relative to roots in control plots. Four years of mycorrhizal suppression reduced productivity of the dominant grasses and increased plant species richness and diversity. These results highlight the importance of mycorrhizae as mediators of plant productivity and community dynamics in restored tallgrass prairie and indicate that temporarily suppressing AMF decreases productivity of the dominant C4 grasses and allows for establishment of seeded forb species.

AB - Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to clothing and equipment designed to protect individuals from chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive hazards. The materials used to provide this protection may exacerbate thermal strain by limiting heat and water vapor transfer. Any new PPE must therefore be evaluated to ensure that it poses no greater thermal strain than the current standard for the same level of hazard protection. This review describes how such evaluations are typically conducted. Comprehensive evaluation of PPE begins with a biophysical assessment of materials using a guarded hot plate to determine the thermal characteristics (thermal resistance and water vapor permeability). These characteristics are then evaluated on a thermal manikin wearing the PPE, since thermal properties may change once the materials have been constructed into a garment. These data may be used in biomedical models to predict thermal strain under a variety of environmental and work conditions. When the biophysical data indicate that the evaporative resistance (ratio of permeability to insulation) is significantly better than the current standard, the PPE is evaluated through human testing in controlled laboratory conditions appropriate for the conditions under which the PPE would be used if fielded. Data from each phase of PPE evaluation are used in predictive models to determine user guidelines, such as maximal work time, work/rest cycles, and fluid intake requirements. By considering thermal stress early in the development process, health hazards related to temperature extremes can be mitigated while maintaining or improving the effectiveness of the PPE for protection from external hazards.

AB - We report the Silver Lamprey (Ichthyomyzon unicupis) from Arkansas for the first time. Fifteen adult I. unicuspis attached to paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) were collected in Apr. 2005 from the White River near the confluence of the Black River, Independence and Jackson counties. Twelve (80%) of the I. unicuspis possessed 3 teeth (including the apex) in the anterior row, while the other 3 had 4 teeth in their anterior row; unicuspid teeth arrangement in the lateral row were 3 + 3 for 11 (73%) lampreys while 4 had 4 + 4 teeth in the lateral row. Two additional specimens collected in Apr. 1972 and May 1998 from the Buffalo anti White rivers in Marion and Prairie counties, respectively, and originally identified as Chestnut Lampreys (Ichthyomyzon castaneus), were re-examined and identified as I. unicuspis. The addition of I unicuspis to the lamprey fauna of Arkansas brings to five the number of species currently occurring in the state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Land Use Input Canal Output Model (LUICOM) was created for the purpose of predicting canal-mediated, total suspended solids (TSS) loading in receiving estuaries. Tidal flushing (related to the tidal prism) within a subject estuary (i.e., Yellow Bluff Creek) was also evaluated. Estimates of flushing times were based on those estimated for Georgia and South Carolina creeks that have better coverage of hypsometric data. Two rain events were sampled for this effort, and TSS concentrations predicted by LUICOM compared favorably with observed values. With subsidence of each rain event, TSS concentrations gradually decreased to baseline concentration in the receiving estuary. Moreover, LUICOM provided a reasonable estimate of the time of peak TSS. The results of this study suggest that TSS measured in the subject canal and creek increase as the result of significant rain events (>1.0 in. in 3 h). The correlation between model-derived and measured TSS values suggest LUICOM could be used to evaluate changes in a basin's land use as it relates to predicting subsequent increases in TSS discharges. The simplicity of the model makes it an ideal tool for resource managers concerned with changes in land use within coastal areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objective: We evaluate and quantify the effects of human, robot, and environmental factors on perceived trust in human-robot interaction (HRI).Background: To date, reviews of trust in HRI have been qualitative or descriptive. Our quantitative review provides a fundamental empirical foundation to advance both theory and practice.Method: Meta-analytic methods were applied to the available literature on trust and HRI. A total of 29 empirical studies were collected, of which 10 met the selection criteria for correlational analysis and 11 for experimental analysis. These studies provided 69 correlational and 47 experimental effect sizes.Results: The overall correlational effect size for trust was r̄ = +0.26, with an experimental effect size of d̄ = +0.71. The effects of human, robot, and environmental characteristics were examined with an especial evaluation of the robot dimensions of performance and attribute-based factors. The robot performance and attributes were the largest contributors to the development of trust in HRI. Environmental factors played only a moderate role.Conclusion: Factors related to the robot itself, specifically, its performance, had the greatest current association with trust, and environmental factors were moderately associated. There was little evidence for effects of human-related factors.Application: The findings provide quantitative estimates of human, robot, and environmental factors influencing HRI trust. Specifically, the current summary provides effect size estimates that are useful in establishing design and training guidelines with reference to robot-related factors of HRI trust. Furthermore, results indicate that improper trust calibration may be mitigated by the manipulation of robot design. However, many future research needs are identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) completed a liquefaction potential analysis as part of the seismic evaluation of Milford Dam in 1986. This paper uses data from the 1986 study to compare fines content data from in situ frozen and standard penetration test (SPT) samples that suggest fines content can be overestimated by 1-10% by SPT samples in stratified sand deposits. This result may have implications for liquefaction assessments because split-spoon samples may overestimate the actual fines content, resulting in a liquefiable deposit being classified as nonliquefiable. In addition, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of ground freezing on maintaining in situ soil structure and aging of the foundation sands at Milford Dam. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - Le Corps du génie de l'armée américaine (USACE) a réalisé une analyse du potentiel de liquéfaction dans le cadre d'une évaluation sismique du barrage de Milford en 1986. La présente étude utilise les données recueillies lors de l'étude de 1986 afin de comparer le contenu en particules fines d'échantillons in situ gelés ainsi que d'échantillons provenant d'essais de pénétration standard (EPS). Ces données suggèrent que le contenu en particules fines peut être surestimé de 1 à 10 % pour les échantillons d'EPS prélevés dans des dépôts de sable stratifié. Ce résultat peut avoir des implications dans l'évaluation de la liquéfaction puisque les échantillons de cuillère fendue peuvent surestimer le contenu en particules fines et ainsi le dépôt liquéfiable est classé comme non-liquéfiable. De plus, cet article évalue l'efficacité de conserver le sol gelé pour maintenir la structure in situ du sol et pour le vieillissement des sables de fondation au barrage de Milford.

AB - An engineering methodology is developed to build hazard curves to evaluate the probability of flood-induced overtopping of barriers in watershed-reservoir-dam systems. The probable maximum precipitation in the watershed under consideration and its distribution in time during the acting storm is estimated. Considering the effects of the local geology, soil, topography, and land use, a random representation of the storm hourly rain is translated into effective runoff, including losses due to evaporation, interception, and surface retention. The uncertainty in the hydrological characteristics of the drainage basin is captured by a random time to concentration. Random hourly unit graphs are constructed analytically for a convex watershed and convoluted with the storm time-history to result in the random hydrograph for the inflow flood into the reservoir of the dam system. Flood routing through the reservoir is then computed with or without noise in the model. The deterministic path leads to a hydrograph for the water level at the barrier upstream face. The stochastic path evaluates through simulation the probability density function of variates (at discrete times) of the nonstationary random process of this pool level. The characterization of the reservoir-pool maxima allows the estimation of the probability of barrier overtopping. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This technical paper presents the development and application of a pseudo-transient continuation (PTC)- inspired flow model for the simulation of dam and levee failure. The unstructured, implicit, Petrov-Galerkin finite-element model relies on computed residuals to automatically adjust the time-step size. The implicit time integration, together with the automatic time-step size selection through PTC, makes the model computationally efficient. The model is verified and applied to several analytic and real-world test cases that exercise model behavior and accuracy for several critical, transcritical, and subcritical flows. The result is an efficient and accurate prediction of both the speed and depth of shock waves as the dam-break flow passes over initially dry and wet land. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Bromine is an industrial chemical that causes severe cutaneous burns. When selecting or developing effective treatments for bromine burns, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms of tissue damage and wound healing. This study investigated the effect of cutaneous bromine vapor exposure on gene expression using a weanling swine burn model by microarray analysis. Ventral abdominal sites were exposed to a mean calculated bromine vapor concentration of 0.51 g/L for 7 or 17 min. At 6 h, 48 h, and 7 days post-exposure, total RNA from skin samples was isolated, processed, and analyzed with Affymetrix GeneChip®® Porcine Genome Arrays (N == 3 per experimental group). Differences in gene expression were observed with respect to exposure duration and sampling time. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) revealed four common biological functions (cancer, cellular movement, cell-to-cell signaling and interaction, and tissue development) among the top ten functions of each experimental group, while canonical pathway analysis revealed 9 genes (ARG2, CCR1, HMOX1, ATF2, IL-8, TIMP1, ESR1, HSPAIL, and SELE) that were commonly shared among four significantly altered signaling pathways. Among these, the transcripts encoding HMOX1 and ESR1 were identified using IPA as common potential therapeutic targets for Phase II/III clinical trial or FDA-approved drugs. The present study describes the transcriptional responses to cutaneous bromine vapor exposure identifying molecular networks and genes that could serve as targets for developing therapeutics for bromine-induced skin injury.

AB - Many aspects influence the skid resistance of a pavement surface including surface texture, tire characteristics, vehicle operations, and environmental factors. The objective of this paper is to quantify the temperature influence on the skid number of asphalt pavement surfaces when measured by the locked-wheel friction tester. Specifically, this study aims to determine an adjustment factor for friction readings to a standard reference temperature, removing the seasonal temperature variations influencing measurements. This allows agencies to improve the comparison of pavement sections and to provide a more objective assessment of pavement conditions for safety. The friction database employed is from the National Center for Asphalt Technology Test Track facility. The data includes friction measurements with a locked-wheel trailer on sections from the 2000 and 2003 research cycles. The approach calculates the temperature adjustment factor, CT, from a grouping of the data by temperature values at the time of the measurements. The results show that it is possible to define a reference temperature to adjust friction measured at any other temperature value. The reference temperature identified is between 19.5°C (67.1°F) and 20.2°C (68.4°F). The study concludes that when testing, if the air temperature is greater than the reference temperature, the friction reading is biased by a positive quantity. Therefore the adjustment factor, CT, reduces the measured friction, whereas for measurements performed at temperatures lower than the reference temperature, CT increases the measured friction.

AB - Hurricane Gustav (2008) made landfall in southern Louisiana on 1 September 2008 with its eye never closer than 75 km to New Orleans, but its waves and storm surge threatened to flood the city. Easterly tropical-storm-strength winds impacted the region east of the Mississippi River for 12--15 h, allowing for early surge to develop up to 3.5 m there and enter the river and the city''s navigation canals. During landfall, winds shifted from easterly to southerly, resulting in late surge development and propagation over more than 70 km of marshes on the river''s west bank, over more than 40 km of Caernarvon marsh on the east bank, and into Lake Pontchartrain to the north. Wind waves with estimated significant heights of 15 m developed in the deep Gulf of Mexico but were reduced in size once they reached the continental shelf. The barrier islands further dissipated the waves, and locally generated seas existed behind these effective breaking zones. The hardening and innovative deployment of gauges since Hurricane Katrina (2005) resulted in a wealth of measured data for Gustav. A total of 39 wind wave time histories, 362 water level time histories, and 82 high water marks were available to describe the event. Computational models--including a structured-mesh deepwater wave model (WAM) and a nearshore steady-state wave (STWAVE) model, as well as an unstructured-mesh ''simulating waves nearshore'' (SWAN) wave model and an advanced circulation (ADCIRC) model--resolve the region with unprecedented levels of detail, with an unstructured mesh spacing of 100--200 m in the wave-breaking zones and 20--50 m in the small-scale channels. Data-assimilated winds were applied using NOAA''s Hurricane Research Division Wind Analysis System (H**Wind) and Interactive Objective Kinematic Analysis (IOKA) procedures. Wave and surge computations from these models are validated comprehensively at the measurement locations ranging from the deep Gulf of Mexico and along the coast to the rivers and floodplains of southern Louisiana and are described and quantified within the context of the evolution of the storm.

AB - CTT&F is a physically based, spatially distributed watershed contaminant transport, transformation, and fate sub-model designed for use within existing hydrological modeling systems. To describe the fate of contaminants through landscape media as well as spatial variations of contaminant distributions, physical transport and transformation processes in CTT&F are simulated for each cell in the model and routed to the watershed outlet. CTT&F simulates contaminant erosion from soil and transport across the land surface by overland flow. The model also simulates contaminant erosion from stream bed sediment and transport through channels in addition to transport of contaminants inputs by overland flow. CTT&F can simulate solid (granular) contaminant transport and transformation, including partitioning between freely dissolved, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) bound, and particle-sorbed phases. To demonstrate model capabilities, CTT&F was coupled with an existing distributed hydrologic model and was tested and validated to simulate RDX and TNT transport using two experimental plots. These experiments examined dissolution of solid contaminants into the dissolved phase and their subsequent transport to the plot outlet. Model results were in close agreement with measured data. Such a model provides information for decision makers to make rational decisions relevant to the fate of toxic compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Nitroglycerine (NG), 2-4-dinitrotoluene, and 2,6-dinitrotolune (DNTs), commonly deposited on soil during military training, have been identified as potential threats to groundwater at Camp Edwards on the Massachusetts Military Reservation. Accordingly, a series of experiments were performed to obtain site-specific sorption coefficients (Kd) for use in computer simulations. Experiments employing aqueous, reagent-grade contaminants, with a biocide added, showed NG underwent limited sorption onto the sandy soil from the study area. DNTs were retained to a greater extent. Desorption experiments demonstrated a portion of the contaminants were irreversibly bound. Soil characteristics had a significant effect on Kd, apparently because of changes in organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, and/or clay content with depth in the soil profile. Experiments with NG containing soil, fresh, unfired propellant, or with freshly fired propellant produced partitioning values considerably higher than those observed with reagent grade material added from solution—demonstrating dissolution as the rate-limiting step. The apparent Kd also increased significantly when no biocide was used, thereby indicating a major role for biodegradation. In addition, NG and the DNTs introduced during military training did not leach from site soil at the small arms ranges studied. Taken together these data demonstrate that Kds from laboratory experiments using dissolved reagent-grade compounds are not appropriate for predicting NG and DNT mobility in the field.

AB - In many agricultural regions of the West, decades of intensive irrigation have produced shallow water tables under not only cultivated fields but also the nearby uncultivated land. It is possible that the high water tables under the uncultivated lands are substantially increasing evapotranspiration (ET) rates, which would represent an unnatural and potentially nonbeneficial consumptive use. The objective of this paper is to quantify loss of water that occurs from uncultivated lands in a semiarid irrigated river valley (the Lower Arkansas River Valley in southeastern Colorado). A remote-sensing algorithm is used to estimate actual ET rates on 16 dates on the basis of Landsat satellite images. On the same dates, water table depths, soil moisture values, and soil water salinities are measured at up to 84 wells distributed across three study sites. On the basis of a water balance of the root zone, it is estimated that 78% of the ET is supplied by groundwater upflux at these sites. It is also observed that the ET and groundwater upflux decrease with increasing water table depth. A regression analysis indicates that the spatial variations in ET are most closely related to variations in vegetation-related attributes, whereas soil moisture and water table depths also explain substantial amounts of the variation. Valley-wide implications for reducing nonbeneficial ET through water table control also are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We assessed the impacts of exposure to an environmentally representative concentration (0.83 mg/L) of the explosive cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) on fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) in one-year and multigenerational bioassays. In the one-year bioassay, impacts were assessed by statistical comparisons of females from breeding groups reared in control or RDX-exposure conditions. The RDX had no significant effect on gonadosomatic index or condition factor assayed at 1 d and at one, three, six, nine, and 12 months. The liver-somatic index was significantly increased versus controls only at the 12-month timepoint. RDX had no significant effect on live-prey capture rates, egg production, or fertilization. RDX caused minimal differential-transcript expression with no consistent discernable effect on gene-functional categories for either brain or liver tissues in the one-year exposure. In the multigenerational assay, the effects of acute (96 h) exposure to RDX were compared in fish reared to the F2 generation in either control or RDX-exposure conditions. Enrichment of gene functions including neuroexcitatory glutamate metabolism, sensory signaling, and neurological development were observed comparing control-reared and RDX-reared fish. Our results indicated that exposure to RDX at a concentration representing the highest levels observed in the environment (0.83 mg/L) had limited impacts on genomic, individual, and population-level endpoints in fathead minnows in a one-year exposure. However, multigenerational exposures altered transcript expression related to neural development and function [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Establishing the phylogenetic and demographic history of rare plants improves our understanding of mechanisms that have led to their origin and can lead to valuable insights that inform conservation decisions. The Atlantic coastal plain of eastern North America harbours many rare and endemic species, yet their evolution is poorly understood. We investigate the rare Sandhills lily ( Lilium pyrophilum), which is endemic to seepage slopes in a restricted area of the Atlantic coastal plain of eastern North America. Using phylogenetic evidence from chloroplast, nuclear internal transcribed spacer and two low-copy nuclear genes, we establish a close relationship between L. pyrophilum and the widespread Turk's cap lily, L. superbum. Isolation-with-migration and coalescent simulation analyses suggest that (i) the divergence between these two species falls in the late Pleistocene or Holocene and almost certainly post-dates the establishment of the edaphic conditions to which L. pyrophilum is presently restricted, (ii) vicariance is responsible for the present range disjunction between the two species, and that subsequent gene flow has been asymmetrical and (iii) L. pyrophilum harbours substantial genetic diversity in spite of its present rarity. This system provides an example of the role of edaphic specialization and climate change in promoting diversification in the Atlantic coastal plain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Advances in bathymetric data acquisition have made it possible to explore alternative methods for measuring bed-load transport in rivers. The method validated herein consists of measuring rates of bed scour by using time-sequenced bathymetric data. The validation is performed in a laboratory flume by comparing the measured rates of bed scour with direct measurements of bed-load transport. The bed forms in the flume are dunes traveling at nearly constant speed. The shape of the dunes remains nearly constant. No suspended load is present. The ranges for Froude and Rouse numbers are 0.24-0.50 and 4.6-10.4, respectively. The study shows that under the given conditions, bed-load transport determined from time-sequenced bathymetric data is equally accurate to that determined from measurements of bed-form amplitude and speed. Obtaining bed-load transport from time-sequenced bathymetric data is often more expedient than traditional methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Pacific Northwest temperatures have warmed by 0.8°C since 1920 and are predicted to increase in the 21st century. Streamflow timing shifts associated with climate change would degrade the water resources system performance for climate change scenarios using existing system operation policies for the Columbia River Basin. To mitigate the hydrologic impacts of anticipated climate change on this complex water resource system, optimized flood control operating rule curves were developed at a monthly time step in a previous study and were evaluated with a monthly time-step simulation model. Here, a daily time-step simulation model is used over a smaller portion of the domain to evaluate and refine the optimized flood-control curves derived from monthly time-step analysis. Daily time-step simulations demonstrate that maximum evacuation targets for flood control derived from the monthly analysis were remarkably robust. However, the evacuation schedules for Libby and Duncan Dams from February to April conflicted with Kootenay Lake level requirements specified in the 1938 International Joint Commission Order on Kootenay Lake. We refined the flood rule curves derived from monthly analysis by creating a gradual evacuation schedule, keeping the timing and magnitude of maximum evacuation the same as in the monthly analysis. After these refinements, the performance at monthly timescales reported in our previous study proved robust at daily timescales. Owing to a decrease in July storage deficits, additional benefits such as more revenue from hydropower generation and more July and August outflow for fish augmentation were observed when the optimized flood-control curves were used for a climate-change scenario.

AB - This study presents the results of an extensive beneficial-use evaluation of 3/8-in. minus steel slag fines (SSF) to immobilize arsenic. Two primary sets of experiments were undertaken to assess (1) the ability of SSF to immobilize 100 mg/kg arsenite (As3+) and arsenate (As5+) in dredged material when blended with SSF, including slag cement doses (up to 2%) to determine if additional environmental polishing was necessary; and (2) the ability of SSF alone to immobilize each As species. Visually, the SSF materials resemble an AASHTO No. 9 (fine) aggregate, with a small fraction passing the No. 200 (0.075 mm) sieve. In order to establish the design parameters for deploying the slag media in geoenvironmental applications (soil blending, drainage, reactive trenches, and filters), the soil classification and grain-size distribution, specific gravity, loss on ignition (ash content), standard and modified Proctor compaction behavior, direct shear strength, and swell behavior of the SSF media were evaluated. Additionally, the following geochemical attributes of the SSF media were evaluated: bulk chemistry, mineralogy, pH, anion scan, total priority pollutant list (PPL) metals, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), and synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) leaching behavior for PPL metals. Arsenic thresholding studies were performed, in which the uptake of each As source on the SSF materials was evaluated. The SSF materials immobilized approximately 7,900 mg/kgAs3+ and 8,800 mg/kgAs5+, producing TCLP and SPLP concentrations less than 0.010 mg/L in three of four cases. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies were used in combination with MINTEQ modeling to isolate the mechanisms responsible for the As immobilization in the SSF materials.

AB - Batch and column leaching tests were conducted to assess the simultaneous stabilization of copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and tungsten (W) in eight representative contaminated firing range soils in the United States using various amendments. The amendments included granulated ferric oxide (GFO), granulated titanium dioxide (GTD), Pahokee peat soil (PPS), Gascoyne leonardite soil (GLS), Elliot silty loam soil (ESLS), calcium phosphate monobasic (CPM), and apatite II. The metal oxides and the organic soil amendments were applied at a dosage of 10%, and phosphates were applied at phosphorus to lead (P/Pb) molar ratio of 1.8. The experimental results indicated that GFO was superior to all materials tested for simultaneously stabilizing Cu, Pb, and W during the batch leaching tests. Flow-through column tests were conducted for one of the soil samples to test the effectiveness of GFO to immobilize Cu, Pb, and W. The concentrations of Cu, Pb, and W were significantly reduced in the effluent of the amended soil columns as compared with the control soil columns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In the wake of the compound March 2011 nuclear disaster at the Fukushima I nuclear power plant in Japan, international public dialogue has repeatedly turned to questions of the accuracy of current risk assessment processes to assess nuclear risks and the adequacy of existing regulatory risk thresholds to protect us from nuclear harm. We confront these issues with an emphasis on learning from the incident in Japan for future US policy discussions. Without delving into a broader philosophical discussion of the general social acceptance of the risk, the relative adequacy of existing US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) risk thresholds is assessed in comparison with the risk thresholds of federal agencies not currently under heightened public scrutiny. Existing NRC thresholds are found to be among the most conservative in the comparison, suggesting that the agency's current regulatory framework is consistent with larger societal ideals. In turning to risk assessment methodologies, the disaster in Japan does indicate room for growth. Emerging lessons seem to indicate an opportunity to enhance resilience through systemic levels of risk aggregation. Specifically, we believe bringing systemic reasoning to the risk management process requires a framework that (i) is able to represent risk-based knowledge and information about a panoply of threats; (ii) provides a systemic understanding (and representation) of the natural and built environments of interest and their dependencies; and (iii) allows for the rational and coherent valuation of a range of outcome variables of interest, both tangible and intangible. Rather than revisiting the thresholds themselves, we see the goal of future nuclear risk management in adopting and implementing risk assessment techniques that systemically evaluate large-scale socio-technical systems with a view toward enhancing resilience and minimizing the potential for surprise.

AB - Military lands are a valuable resource in recovery of threatened, endangered, and at-risk species worldwide and have the highest density of threatened and endangered species of all major land management agencies in the United States. Many red-cockaded woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) that reside on federal lands occur on 15 military installations in the southeastern United States. This close association has increased concern over potential conflicts between conservation requirements of endangered species and the military's mission of combat readiness. Our objectives were to 1) determine if military training operations affect behavior, reproductive success, and productivity of red-cockaded woodpeckers; 2) develop a frequency-weighting function to assess woodpecker hearing sensitivity; 3) identify factors that affect woodpecker responses to military training operations; 4) develop distance and dose-response thresholds for quantifying woodpecker responses to noise levels and stimulus distances; 5) characterize military training operations through quantification of sound levels, source identification, distance from active woodpecker nests, frequency spectra, duration, and frequency of occurrence; and 6) document baseline woodpecker nesting behavior. We conducted our study on the Fort Stewart Military Installation located in southeast Georgia, USA. Downy woodpeckers, as surrogates for red-cockaded woodpeckers, had their best hearing sensitivity within the peak range of the power spectrum of both downy and red-cockaded woodpecker vocalizations, which is at a higher frequency than that of a typical passerine. Overall, woodpeckers had a reduced auditory sensitivity relative to human hearing sensitivity and other species of small birds, especially in the frequency range >4 kHz. Woodpeckers were most sensitive in the 1.5- to 4.0-kHz range. Sensitivity appeared to drop off quickly at frequencies <1.0 kHz and >4.0 kHz. Overall, we did not find that the woodpecker-frequency-weigh ting function we developed provided a better predictor of woodpecker flush response compared with A-weighting. More research is needed to better understand the relationship between frequency-weigh ting functions and woodpecker response behavior. Potential breeding groups of woodpeckers across the population increased from 158 in 1997 to 181 in 2000, whereas nesting groups increased from 141 in 1998 to 170 in 2000, for overall increases of 14.6% and 20.6%, respectively, over the 3 years of this project. Fledging success rates for individual nests within the overall population remained consistent from 1998 to 2000, averaging 84.4%. Mean clutch sizes for woodpecker groups for 1998 to 2000 ranged from 2.75 to 3.01 eggs/nest, brood size ranged from 2.01 to 2.22 nestlings/nest, whereas the average number of young fledged ranged from 1.57 to 1.76 young/ occupied nest. We observed no difference in reproductive success or productivity between experimental and control-tested red-cockaded woodpecker groups. Overall, experimental test groups produced an average of 2.98 eggs/nest, 1.89 nestlings/nest, and 1.54 young/occupied nest from 1999 to 2000, compared with 2.73 eggs/nest, 1.91 nestlings/nest, and 1.57 young/occupied nest at control groups. We measured behavioral responses (nest attendance and arrivals and departures from the nest) of red-cockaded woodpeckers to military training events through direct and indirect (i.e., video surveillance) observation of 464.5 hours of woodpecker nesting behavior before and after controlled experimental events while recording and characterizing military-generated sound events using sound-recording equipment. We presented woodpeckers with actual 0.50-caliber blank machine gun fire and artillery simulators from controlled distances to develop distance and sound thresholds. We used video surveillance to document potential behavioral responses of woodpeckers primarily during nonexperimental military training operations in areas that could not be safely monitored and to determine baseline woodpecker nesting behaviors. We recorded 2,846 nonexperimental military noise events in 157 data sessions at 50 red-cockaded woodpecker groups from 1998 to 2000. We also recorded 206 experimental tests at 58 woodpecker groups during 1999 and 2000. Life-table analyses of flush response time showed that at short ranges (15-30 m) the flush response was stronger for artillery simulator blasts than for blank fire in both the incubation and the nestling phases. In contrast, at medium distances (45-60 m) blank fire tended to produce more flush responses than artillery fire in both incubation and nestling phases. At longer distances (>60 m), blank fire and artillery produced similar flush responses in the incubation phase, whereas flush response was stronger for blank fire than for artillery in the nestling phase. In general, most animals that responded to military activity flushed within 5 seconds of the stimulus event. Woodpeckers returned to nests within an average of 4.4 minutes after being flushed by artillery simulators and 6.3 minutes after 0.50-caliber blank-fire tests. Woodpecker flush response rates increased as stimulus distance decreased and sound levels increased, regardless of stimulus type or year. Woodpeckers did not flush from nests when 0.50-caliber blank machine gun fire and artillery simulators were >152 m away and sound-exposure levels (decibels [dB]) were <68 dBW (woodpecker-based frequency-weighting curve) and <65 dBW, respectively. We found that blast treatments reduced arrival rates of adults at the nest, with the amount of reduction dependent on the type of blast stimulus and number of helpers at the nest. On the other hand, blast treatments had no detectable effects on nest attendance. The effect of blank fire on incubation-phase arrivals over a 30-minute interval (about 40% reduction) was nearly twice that of artillery simulator fire (about a 20% reduction). There was no evidence supporting any effect of stimulus type on arrivals during the nestling phase. Blast stimuli during incubation reduced arrivals by 40% when no helpers were present, but the strength of this effect decreased to 28% when one helper was present, and was only 6% for nests with ≥2 helpers. Distance of the blast from the nest did not affect the response of arrival rates to blast treatments. Infrequent, short-duration military training exercises, as measured, did not appear to substantially impact red-cockaded woodpecker reproductive success and productivity on the Fort Stewart Military Installation. Our results may be applicable to other military installations where similar training activities and intensity levels occur. Additional research is needed to address possible habituation or sensitization of red-cockaded woodpeckers to human activities in proximity to active nest sites. Although we attempted to monitor woodpecker response to a number of military training activities, other types of military training operations or human-based activities with louder noise, longer duration, increased human presence, and greater frequency of occurrence could more negatively influence woodpecker nesting behavior and need to be investigated. Our results do not support the hypothesis that military maneuver training operations are limiting factors in the recovery of red-cockaded woodpeckers on military installations, based on our level and type of testing. Natural resource management policies on military installations have had a positive influence on the recovery of red-cockaded woodpeckers and probably outweigh the negative effects of typical military training.

AB - Las tierras militares son recursos valerosos en el recobro de los especies amenazados, en peligro de extinción, y arriesgados, y tienen la densidad mas alta de especies amenazados y en peligro de extinción por hectárea de todas las mayores agencias de gestión de tierras en EEUU. Un gran porcentaje de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja (Picoides borealis) que residen en tierras federales, ocurren en quince instalaciones militares en el suroeste de EEUU. Tal estrecha asociación ha incrementado preocupaciones con los conflictos potenciales entre los requerimientos de conservación de especies en peligro de extinción y la misión militar de mantener la preparación para combate. El objetivo de esta investigación fue para 1) determinar si las operaciones de entrenamiento militar afectan a la conducta y capacidad de reproducción de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja; 2) desarrollar una función de carga de frecuencia para estimar la sensibilidad del oído de los datos de repuesta del tronco cerebral auditorio del los pájaros carpinteros peludos como especie substituto por los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja; 3) identificar los factores que afectan las respuestas de los pájaros carpinteros a las operaciones del entrenamiento militar; 4) desarrollar umbrales de distancia y de respuesta de dosis para cuantificar las respuestas de los pájaros carpinteros a los niveles de ruidos y a las distancias de los estímulos; 5) caracterizar las operaciones de entrenamiento militar por la cuantificación de las niveles de sonido, identificación del origen, la distancia de los nidos activos de los pajaraos carpinteros, espectros de frecuencia, duración, y frecuencia de ocurrencia; y 6) documentar el base del la conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros. Conducimos estas investigaciones en Fort Stewart, localizados en el suroeste del estado de Georgia, EEUU. Los pájaros carpinteros peludos, como sustitutos por los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja, exhibieron su mejor sensibilidad del oído dentro del máximo rango del espectro de poder de ambos vocalizaciones de los pájaros carpinteros y los pájaros peludos, cual es en una frecuencia mas alta que la paseriformes típicas. En general, los pájaros carpinteros tenían una sensibilidad auditoria reducida en relación a la sensibilidad auditoria humana y a los otros especies de pájaros pequeños, especialmente in el rango mas alto de 4 kHz. Los pájaros carpinteros eran los mas sensibles en el rango de 1.5-4.0 kHz. La sensibilidad pareció caerse rápidamente alas frecuencias debajo de 1.0 kHz y masque 4.0 kHz. En general, no encontramos que la función de carga de frecuencia de los pájaros carpinteros que fue desarrollado como parte de este proyecto proveyó un mejor predictor de la respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza comparado con una curva de ponderación A. Hay necesidad de mas investigaciones para entender mejor la relación entre funciones de ponderación de frecuencia y la respuesta de comportamiento de los pájaros carpinteros. Medimos las reacciones de comportamiento (nido de asistencia, y llegadas y salidas del nido) de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja a los eventos de entrenamiento militar por observación directa y indirecta (es decir, video vigilancia), observación de 464.5 horas de la conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros antes y después del los eventos experimentales controlados, mientras que simultáneamente grabamos y caracterizamos los eventos de ruidos originados por el militar con equipo de grabar. Los pájaros carpinteros fueron enfrentados con fuego en blanco de ametralladora de calibre 0.50 o de simuladores de artillería de distancias controladas para desarrollar los umbrales de distancia y sonido. La vigilancia video fue utilizado para documentar la reacción potencial de comportamiento de los pájaros carpinteros primariamente durante operaciones del entrenamiento militar no experimental en los áreas en que no se pudiera monitorizar sin peligroy para determinar un base del la conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros. Grabamos 2,846 eventos no experimentales de ruidos militares durante 157 sesiones con 50 grupos de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja del año 1998 por 2000. También grabamos 206 pruebas experimentales con 58 grupos de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja durante 1999-2000. Análisis de tabla-vida de la respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza enseñan que a corta distancia (15-30 m), la respuesta de levantar era mas fuerte para simulador de explosiones de artillería que para fuego en blanco en ambos fases de incubación y de cría. En contraste, a las distancias medianas (45-60 m), el fuego en blanco tenia la tendencia a producir mas respuestas de levantar que fuego de artillería en ambos fases de incubación y de cría. A las distancias mas largas (>60 m), el fuego en blanco y de artillería produjeron respuestas de levantar similares en el fase de incubación, mientras que la respuesta de levantar era mas fuerte para fuego en blanco que para artillería en el fase de cría. En general, la mayor parte de los animales que respondieron a la actividad militar se levantaron dentro 5 secundas del evento de estímulo. Los pájaros carpinteros regresaron a los nidos dentro 4.4 minutos, por término medio, después de haber estado levantado de pieza por los simuladores de artillería, y 6.3 minutos después de pruebas con fuego en blanco de de ametralladora de calibre 0.50. La tasa de respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza se aumentó cuando se disminuyó la distancia del estimulo y cuando se aumentó los niveles do los sonidos, a pesar del tipo del estimulo o del año. Los pájaros carpinteros no se levantaron de la pieza cuando fuego en blanco de ametralladora de calibre 0.50 y simuladores de artillería estaban >152 m de distancia y los niveles de exposición a sonidos estaban <68 dBW (ponderación de frecuencia basada en pájaros carpinteros) y 65 dBW, respectivamente. Encontramos que los tratamientos de explosiones redujeron la tasa de los llegados de adultos a los nidos en esta investigación, y la cantidad de reducción dependía en el tipo de estimulo de fuego y el numero de los ayudantes a los nidos. Por otra parte, los tratamientos de fuego no tenían efectos detectables en asistencia en los nidos es esta investigación. El efecto del fuego en blanco en llegados durante el fase de incubación por un intervalo de 30 minutos (una reducción acerca de 40%) era casi doble lo del fuego de artillería (acerca de 20%). No habia evidencia que soportaba que cualquier tipo del estimulo afectaba llegados durante el fase de cría. Los estímulos durante incubación redujeron llegados por 40% cuando no estaban ayudantes, pero la fuerza de este efecto se disminuyó a 28% cuando estaba un ayudante, y era 6% para nidos con dos o mas ayudantes. La distancia de la explosión del nido no afectaba la respuesta de la tasa de llegados a los tratamientos del las explosiones en esta investigación. Los pájaros carpinteros peludos, como sustitutos por los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja, exhibieron su mejor sensibilidad del oído dentro del máximo rango del espectro de poder de ambos vocalizaciones de los pájaros carpinteros y los pájaros peludos, cual es en una frecuencia mas alta que la paseriformes típicas. En general, los pájaros carpinteros tenían una sensibilidad auditoria reducida en relación a la sensibilidad auditoria humana y a los otros especies de pájaros pequeños, especialmente in el rango mas alto de 4 kHz. Los pájaros carpinteros eran los mas sensibles en el rango de 1.5-4.0 kHz. La sensibilidad pareció caerse rápidamente a las frecuencias debajo de 1.0 kHz y mas que 4.0 kHz. En general, no encontramos que la función de carga de frecuencia de los pájaros carpinteros que fue desarrollado como parte de este proyecto proveyó un mejor predictor de la respuesta de los pájaros carpinteros levantar de pieza comparado con una curva de ponderación A. Hay necesidad de mas investigaciones para entender mejor la relación entre funciones de ponderación de frecuencia y la respuesta de comportamiento de los pájaros carpinteros. Ejercicios militares infrecuentes, y de corta duración, como medidos, no aparecían a impactar significativamente al éxito reproductivo y productividad de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja en la instalación militar de Fort Stewart. Estos resultados podría ser aplicable a otras instalaciones militares donde ocurren actividades de entrenamiento y de niveles de intensidad similares. Hay necesidad de mas investigaciones para abordar la posible habitación o sensibilización de los pajaraos carpinteros de cresta roja a las actividades humanas en la proximidad de sitios de nidos activos. Aunque tratamos a monitorizar las respuestas de los pájaros carpinteros a varios actividades de entrenamiento militar, otros tipos de operaciones de entrenamiento militar o actividades humanos mas bulliciosos y prolongados, y con aun mas presencia humana, podría influirla conducta de anidar de los pájaros carpinteros, y debe ser investigados. Nuestros resultados no soportan el hipótesis que las maniobras de formación son factores limitantes en el recobro de los pájaros carpinteros de cresta roja en las instalaciones militares basados en el nivel y tipo de las pruebas. Las políticas de administración de los recursos naturales en las instalaciones militares han tenido una influencia positiva en el recobro del pájaro carpintero de cresta roja y probablemente superan los efectos negativos del entrenamiento militar que esta llevando a cabo.

AB - Les terrains appartenant aux services militaires constituent une ressource de haute valeur dans la récupération des espèces vulnérables, menacées et en voie de disparition à travers le monde. Aux Etats-Unis, ces terrains possèdent la densité par hectare la plus importante des espèces menacées et en voie de disparition de tous les bureaux fonciers notables. Une grande proportion de pics à face blanche (Picoides borealis) résidant sur les terrains du gouvernement fédéral occupe une quinzaine d'installations militaires dans le sud-est des Etats-Unis. Cette proximité a généré de la discorde entre l'obligation de conserver les espèces en voie de disparition et le but militaire de la préparation au combat. Les buts de l'étude ici présentée étaient de 1) déterminer si les exercices d'entraînement militaire ont une influence sur le comportement et la santé reproductrice du pic à face blanche, 2) développer une courbe de déformation de la fréquence destinée à estimer la sensitivité auditive du pic selon la réponse auditive du tronc cérébral (auditory brainstem response [ABR]) du pic mineur, étant une espèce succédanée des pics à face blanche, 3) identifier les facteurs agissant sur les réponses du pic aux exercices d'entraînement militaire, 4) développer des seuils de distance et de dose-réponse afin de quantifier la réaction du pic à face blanche aux bruits et aux différentes distances des stimuli, 5) caractériser les exercices d'entraînement militaire à travers une quantification de leurs propriétés sonores, leurs sources, leur spectre d'énergie acoustique, leur durée, leur fréquence, et 6) établir le comportement de nidification basique du pic à face blanche. Cette étude a été entreprise à Fort Stewart, dans le sud-est de la Georgie aux USA. Il a été établi que la meilleure sensibilité auditive des pics mineurs, comme espèce succédanée pour les pics à face blanche, se trouve à l'intérieur du points maximaux du spectre d'énergie des vocalisations du pic mineur et du pic à face blanche, ce qui se place à une plus haute fréquence que celle d'une passerine typique. Globalement, les pics possèdent une sensibilité auditive réduite par rapport aux êtres humains et les autres espèces de petits oiseaux, surtout dans les hautes fréquences. Les pics se sont montrés le plus sensible aux bruits dans la plage de 1,5 à 4,0 kHz. Cette sensibilité semblait diminuer brusquement aux fréquences en dessous de 1,0 kHz et celles supérieures à 4,0 kHz. Dans l'ensemble, nous n'avons pas trouvé que la fonction de déformation de la fréquence des pics élaborée comme partie de ce projet de recherches donne de meilleures prédictions de réponses de dénidification des pics que celles générées par A-weighting. Davantage de recherches sont nécessaire pour mieux comprendre la relation entre les fonctions de déformation de fréquence et le comportement de réponse du pic. Nous avons mesuré les réponses du pic à face blanche (la présence au nid aussi bien que les arrivées et les départs du nid) aux vrais incidents d'entraînement militaire à travers l'observation directe et indirecte (la vidéo surveillance) de 464.5 heures de comportement de nidification du pic pendant que l'on enregistrait et catégorisait les événements sonores issus des exercices militaires avec des équipements d'enregistrement acoustique. Les pics ont été mis en présence de vraie fusillade de mitrailleuse à calibre 0,50 et des simulateurs d'artillerie à des distances contrôlées afin de pouvoir mesurer les seuils de distance et de son. La vidéosurveillance a été employée pour enregistrer la réponse du pic aux entraînements militaires passifs dans les endroits ou l'observation directe auraient été hasardeuse et pour déterminer la ligne de fond des comportements de nidification du pic. Nous avons enregistré 2.846 événements passifs de bruit militaire lors de 157 séances de collecte de données auprès de 50 groupes de pics à face blanche de 1998 à 2000. Nous avons également enregistré 206 tests expérimentaux auprès de 58 groups de pics de 1999 à 2000. Des analyses de survie (life-table analysis) de la réponse du délai de nidification a montré que, à de petites distances (15-30 m), la réponse de nidification était plus forte pour les simulateurs d'artillerie que pour le feu des cartouches à blanc dans la phase d'incubation et d'oisillon. Pour les distances moyennes (45-60 m), en revanche, le feu des cartouches à blanc avait tendance à augmenter plus la réponse de nidification par rapport au feu d'artillerie pour dans les phases d'incubation et d'oisillon. Aux longues distances (>60 m), le feu des cartouches à blanc et les simulateurs d'artillerie ont produit des réponses de nidification comparables dans la phase d'incubation, tandis que cette réponse a été plus forte pour le feu des cartouches à blanc que pour les simulateurs d'artillerie pendant la phase d'oisillon. En général, la plupart des animaux ont quitté leur nid dans les 5 secondes qui suivaient le commencement du stimuli. Les pics ont repris leurs nids dans les 4,4 minutes suivant leur dénidification par les simulateurs d'artillerie et 6,3 minutes après les tests entrepris avec le feu des cartouches à blanc de calibre 0,50. Les taux de réponse de dénidification du pic ont augmenté au fur et à mesure que la distance du stimuli a été atténuée et les niveaux sonores ont été haussés, malgré le type de stimuli et l'année. Les pics n'ont pas déniché lorsque le feu des cartouches à blanc de calibre 0.50 et les simulateurs d'artillerie ont été placés à des distances supérieures à 152 m et quand les niveaux de contact sonore étaient <68 dBW (selon la courbe de déformation de la fréquence du pic) et <65 dBW, respectivement. Nous avons établi que les traitements d'explosion ont réduit les taux d'arrivées des adultes au nid, une réduction dépendante du type de stimuli d'explosion et le nombre d'assistants auxiliaires (les jeunes pics aidant dans le processus d'élever les nouveaux-nés) présents au nid. D'un autre côté, nous n'avons trouvé aucun effet des traitements d'explosion sur la présence au nid. L'effet du feu des cartouches à blanc sur les arrivées pendant la période d'incubation à travers des intervalles de 30 minutes (une réduction d'environ 40%) a été le double de celui de la vraie fusillade (réduction d'environ 20%). Il n'y a pas eu d'évidence soutenant un effet quelconque du type de stimuli sur les arrivées lors de la phase d'oisillon. Les stimuli d'explosion pendant l'incubation ont fait baissé les arrivées par 40% quand aucun assistant auxiliaire n'était présent, mais l'importance de cet effet descend à 28% quand un seul assistant était présent et n'était que 6% pour les nids équipés de deux assistants ou plus. La distance entre l'explosion et le nid n'a pas eu d'effet sur la réponse des taux d'arrivées aux traitements d'explosion dans cette étude. Il a été établi que la meilleure sensibilité auditive des pics mineurs, comme espèce succédanée pour les pics à face blanche, se trouve à l'intérieur du points maximaux du spectre d'énergie des vocalisations du pic mineur et du pic à face blanche, ce qui se place à une plus haute fréquence que celle d'une passerine typique. Globalement, les pics possèdent une sensibilité auditive réduite par rapport aux êtres humains et les autres espèces de petits oiseaux, surtout dans les hautes fréquences. Les pics se sont montrés le plus sensible aux bruits dans la plage de 1,5 à 4,0 kHz. Cette sensibilité semblait diminuer brusquement aux fréquences en dessous de 1,0 kHz et celles supérieures à 4,0 kHz. Dans l'ensemble, nous n'avons pas trouvé que la fonction de déformation de la fréquence des pics élaborée comme partie de ce projet de recherches donne de meilleures prédictions de réponses de dénidification des pics que celles générées par « A-weighting ». Davantage de recherches sont nécessaire pour mieux comprendre la relation entre les fonctions de déformation de fréquence et le comportement de réponse du pic. Les exercices d'entraînement militaire peu fréquents, comme ceux mesurés ici, ne bouleversent pas particulièrement les paramètres de sante reproductrice du pic à face blanche au Fort Stewart Military Installation. Ces résultats pourraient être applicables à d'autres installations militaires où ont lieu des exercices des niveaux d'entraînement et d'intensité comparables. De plus amples recherches doivent être entreprises sur l'habituation possible ou la sensibilisation des pics à face blanche aux activités humaines en proximité aux sites actifs de nidification. Même si l'on a tenté d'observer la réponse du pic aux différentes activités d'entraînement militaire, d'autres types d'opérations d'entraînement militaire ou d'activités humaines de durée plus longue ou comportant d'avantage de présence humaine et une manifestation plus fréquente, pourraient engendrer un impact négatif sur la nidification du pic et devraient être étudiés. Ces résultats ne soutiennent nullement l'hypothèse selon laquelle les opérations d'entraînements militaires constituent des facteurs limitants dans la rétablissement des pics à face blanche sur les installations militaires selon nos niveaux et nos méthodes. Jusqu'à présent, les politiques de gestion des ressources naturelles sur les installations militaires ont eu une influence positive sur le rétablissement des pics à face blanche et elles doivent probablement l'emporter largement sur les inconvénients de l'entraînement militaire tel qu'il est actuellement entrepris.

AB - To establish existing conditions for dredge material beneficial use projects and to help implement principles of Regional Sediment Management (RSM) into projects and studies, this paper is an assessment of sediment sources and sinks, physical processes, and longshore sediment transport along the west and south shore of Lake Erie. This summary compiles information from a widely scattered technical literature and synthesizes the results in preparation for development of a sediment budget. The U.S. shore of Lake Erie has 28 river or harbor mouths protected with jetties and structures, of which 16 are Federal navigation projects. Much of the sediment management since the mid-1800s has revolved around providing safe navigation, maintaining depth in navigation channels, and disposing of the dredged material. Sediment sources include material brought down the rivers (often fine-grained); industrial dumping and runoff from sewers, gravel, sand, and clay eroded from glacial till bluffs and clay banks; sediment created in situ from bedrock bluff weathering (primarily from shale); and limited supply from lake bed lowering and offshore outcrops. Losses include wave- and ice-induced transport to deep water, sediment trapped in fillets at harbor jetties, sediment dredged from harbor entrance channel and placed in confined disposal facilities (CDFs) or placed offshore, bluff armoring, and formerly) beach mining. Today, the south shore of Lake Erie is severely sand-starved compared with conditions that existed 200 years ago. The lack of available sediment is largely due to man-made causes. As the shore developed and became urbanized after the mid-1800s, residents, industries, and municipalities attempted to arrest bluff erosion with the use of structures and vegetation. Now the U.S. shoreline of Lake Erie is almost 83% protected, a larger percentage than any ocean coast except in urban areas. It means that little sediment exchange occurs compared with predeveloped conditions, which, in turn, means that managers must recycle and reuse existing sediment to maintain recreation beaches. Managing sediment to benefit a region sustainably potentially will save money, allow use of natural processes to solve engineering problems, and improve recreation resources and natural habitat.

AB - A seasonal rodent-borne disease surveillance program was established at Dagmar North Training Area located near the demilitarized zone, Republic of Korea, from 2001 through 2005. Selected habitats surveyed included earthen banks separating rice paddies, fighting positions along a 5 m rock-faced earthen berm, and extensive tall grasses with various degrees of herbaceous and scrub vegetation associated with dirt roads, rice paddies, ditches, ponds, or the Imjin River. Of the nine species of small mammals captured, the striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius), the primary reservoir for Hantaan virus, was the most frequently collected, representing 92.5% of the 1,848 small mammals captured. Males were captured similarly to females during the spring and summer seasons but were captured less frequently during the fall and winter seasons. Gravid rates were highest in the fall (25.5-57.3%) with the lowest rates during the summer (0.0-2.2%). Capture rates were the lowest along earthen banks separating rice paddies (5.5%) and highest in unmanaged tall grasses and crawling vegetation (15.3-43.5%). An increased knowledge of ecological factors that impact the abundance and distribution of small mammals and the associated ectoparasites and pathogens they harbor is critical for developing accurate disease risk assessments and mitigation strategies for preventing vector- and rodent-borne diseases among soldiers training in field environments.

AB - Through space revitalization, small arms firing ranges of older bases have and may become incorporated into residential areas of active bases with possible human exposure to lead. Bullet dissolution and scanning electron microscopy studies compared weathering of lead from antique small arms ammunition (the 45/70-405 Government) and modern ammunition (5.56 mm). The almost pure lead in the 45/70 bullet resulted in a round that has a lower corrosion and dissolution rate than the lead/antimony alloy of modern ammunition. It is less likely that lead will migrate from the older ranges into the surrounding environment either with suspended solids carried by surface water runoff or through leaching into the underlying soil and groundwater.

AB - Evaluation of dredged material for aquatic placement requires assessment of bioaccumulation potentials for benthic organisms using standardized laboratory bioaccumulation tests. Critical to the interpretation of these data is the assessment of steady state for bioaccumulated residues needed to generate biota sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) and to address control correction of day 0 contaminant residues measured in bioassay organisms. This study applied a novel performance reference compound approach with a pulse-chase experimental design to investigate elimination of a series of isotopically labeled polychlorinated biphenyl (C-PCBs) in the polychaete worm Nereis virens while simultaneously evaluating native PCB bioaccumulation from field-collected sediments. Results demonstrated that all C-PCBs, with the exception of C-PCB209 (> 80%), were eliminated by more than 90% after 28 d. The three sediment types yielded similar C-PCB whole-body elimination rate constants ( k) producing the following predictive equation: log k = − 0.09 × log K − 0.45. The rapid loss of C-PCBs from worms over the bioassay period indicated that control correction, by subtracting day 0 residues, would result in underestimates of bioavailable sediment residues. Significant uptake of native PCBs was observed only in the most contaminated sediment and proceeded according to kinetic model predictions with steady-state BSAFs ranging from 1 to 3 and peaking for congeners of log K between 6.2 and 6.5. The performance reference compound approach can provide novel information about chemical toxicokinetics and also serve as a quality check for the physiological performance of the bioassay organism during standardized bioaccumulation testing.

AB - This study evaluated the potential increase in shoaling and associated sources of sediment as a result of proposed channel improvements for the Houma Navigation Channel in the vicinity of Cat Island Pass, Louisiana. Using morphologic change data and historical maintenance dredging rates, historical and forecasted with-deepening sediment budgets were developed. Conclusions from this study were that deepening the channel from 5.5 m to 6.1 m relative to Mean Low Gulf, a local low water datum, would increase the shoaling rate from the present 191,000 m3/year to 220,000 m3/year, and the likely source of shoaling would be sediment that is presently bypassed naturally. It was recommended that all environmentally-acceptable sediment dredged from Cat Island Pass be placed on the downdrift barrier island, East Island, part of the Isle Dernieres barrier island system. Clays and silts should be placed on the bayside of the island and sand similar to or coarser than the existing beach sand should be placed downdrift of the nodal zone on the Gulf side of East Island. Historically, sediment dredged from Cat Island Pass has been placed in designated dredged material disposal sites located 760 m west of the channel. Based on morphologic change in the region from 1980 to 2006, it appears that sediment may be transported from this placement site to deposit back into the channel. It is recommended that, if sediment cannot be placed on either East Island or Timbalier Island, that the dredged material disposal site be moved further to the west, away from the channel. Finally, based on movement of Timbalier Island and Cat Island Pass over the past 100 years, it is recommended that the channel be moved further to the west to avoid future impingement by Timbalier Island. Based on the results of this and other studies of the Houma Navigation Channel, channel realignment was approved in 2009, and authorization of the deepened channel is being requested during 2010.

AB - An experimental shoreline protection project in Jefferson County, TX was constructed and monitored as part of the National Shoreline Erosion Control Development and Demonstration Program. The project determined the effectiveness of a nontraditional, low volume beach fill at reducing erosion of underlying clay layers and evaluated the performance of a clay core dune compared with that of a sand filled dune. Four cells were constructed on the beach face having 0.18 or 0.25 mm sand and fill volumes of 6 or 12 cy/ft. A fifth control cell had no fill. A 2500 ft long dune was constructed, with half being composed entirely of sand and half being composed of a clay core and sand cap. The project was constructed during the summer of 2004 and was impacted by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004 and later by the same storm as Tropical Storm Ivan in October 2004. An evaluation of profiles and other data taken before, between, and after these storms shows that the clay core dune survived the storms much more intact than the dune constructed entirely of sand. The clay core dune suffered minor scarping at its seaward toe, while up to the seaward half of the sand dune was removed in some sections. The results of the low volume beach fill were also promising. The fill performed well by protecting the underlying clay layer from erosion, but interpretation of the results is complicated by the presence of geotextile tube groins that were placed to contain the fill.

AB - Westhampton Beach is located on the barrier island between Moriches Inlet and Shinnecock Inlet, along the south shore of Long Island, New York. This vulnerable area has been subject to a number of beach erosion control measures under the authority of the Fire Island to Montauk Point, New York Beach Erosion and Hurricane Protection (FIMP) project as well as the related Westhampton Interim Project The Westhampton Interim Project, initiated in 1996, provided for beachfill placement, dune construction west of the groin field, periodic beachfill renourishment until 2027, and a tapering of the groins at the western edge of the groin field in order to provide a smooth transition to the downdrift barrier beaches. Project coastal processes monitoring since 1996 has shown that the shoreline position in the project area has been stable and there has been volumetric growth of the dune field west of the groin field. The 10-year average volumetric loss in the project area of 180,000 cubic yards per year is very similar to the 759,000 cubic yards (190,000 cubic yards per year) renourishment volume placed in 2005 after a four-year renourishment cycle. The largest rate of dune growth west of the groin field from initial construction to February 2009 is approximately 2.0 cy/ft-yr while the average rate of growth is 1.25 cy/ft-yr. Good stewardship of the beach and dune system will allow the Westhampton Interim Project to be maintained and provide the storm damage reduction purposes for which it was designed.

AB - Tróia peninsula, located on the western coast of Portugal, is undergoing tourism development, including construction of a marina. The marina basin was created by dredging a coastal stretch on the northern terminus of the peninsula on the estuarine side, making available beach-quality sediment for nourishment. A study was carried out to identify potential applications and opportunities to place the dredged sand in a beneficial manner. Many variables were considered in the study design in incorporating pre-project beach profile surveys and sediment sampling. Beach-fill design and placement procedures were proposed according to the purpose and constraints of the particular site, while recognizing the implications of the nourishment in a regional sediment management context. Between October 2006 and March 2007, 286,000 m3 of sand was placed along four beach sectors with a total alongshore extent of 1,700 m in the vicinity of the new marina and the Tróia Roman Ruins archeological site. The emplacements included dune, beach berm, and beach face nourishment, providing restoration of beaches and dunes and also increased buffering capacity in an area of damage to cultural resources of the peninsula. A monitoring program was deployed to assess performance and impacts of the nourishment on adjacent areas, and to identify problems and their causes. The surveys of August 2007 indicate that a significant part of the emplaced sand had been mobilized alongshore promoting the spreading of the fill material to down-drift areas while inducing a general reduction in the beach face slope, and attaining a more natural beach profile.

AB - Coastal barrier islands are natural lines of defense and an integral part of a comprehensive flood risk reduction and management plan. A high resolution numerical modeling system capable of representing complicated coastal landscapes and simulating all the primary relevant physical processes is applied to better understand the influence of barrier island restoration on hurricane surge propagation. Model results indicate that barrier island restoration may significantly alter surge pathways and flood volumes of surge reaching inland coastal areas as open water passes become the dominant flow mechanism during a storm event. However, the exclusion of the morphologic evolution of a barrier island during a storm's passage is a significant limitation with the existing numerical models and is currently under development. The results in this paper demonstrate the need to include morphologic changes to fully evaluate the impact barrier islands have on water levels at the mainland coast. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The shoreline stabilization adjacent to the public access boat ramp in the Packery Channel basin has been damaged in two separate events. For the shoreline damage at the boat ramp bulkhead, toe scour is the likely mechanism for failure. Typical sources of hydrodynamic forcing that can lead to toe erosion include storm currents, locally generated storm waves, and offshore storm waves propagating into the basin through Packery Channel. Quantitative analysis of storm induced wind generated waves and currents eliminated them as possible causes of the damage. However, photographic and movie evidence indicate the presence of low-frequency low-amplitude waves propagated into the basin and impacted the boat ramp. The Coastal System Model (CMS) was used to simulate a range of these low-frequency low-amplitude waves and the results demonstrated that these waves could produce sufficient flows in the vicinity of the boat ramp shoreline to cause the damage. Subsequent modeling was used to develop design criteria for additional shoreline stabilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper reviews the 25-plus year history of significant developments of the GENESIS shoreline response model. Topics discussed are line sources and sinks of sand, representation of shore-normal structures including natural sand bypassing, wave transmission by and shoreline response to shore-parallel structures, seawalls, migrating longshore sand waves, seasonal variation by cross-shore sand transport, sand transport due to tidal and wind-generated currents, preservation of the regional shape of the shoreline, and the interaction between the beach berm and the dunes behind it. Such developments have been done in a consistent way, based on thorough literature reviews, beta testing, comparison to beach behavior, and quality control. The challenges have been not only to represent the features themselves, but to be consistent to the basic assumptions of shoreline modeling theory. Through these added capabilities, GENESIS has evolved to meet the challenges of modern, multi-scale, long-term coastal engineering applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Georgica Pond, on Long Island's ocean coast in East Hampton, NY, is normally separated from the ocean by a beach about 100 m wide, but mechanically opened to the Atlantic Ocean. Observations of the breach were made for three days, until it closed naturally. A channel 6 m wide was dug on April 23, 2008. The water level in the Pond was initially 1.46 m higher than the ocean. Upon completion of the channel, pond water rushed seaward through the new inlet at a speed reaching 3.7 m/sec. The flow was supercritical with a hydraulic jump forming at the inlet mouth. The cut widened in an hour by the progressive, sudden collapse of steep sections of bank along its length, growing at a rate of about 0.2 m/min, then slowing to about 0.1 m/min, eventually stabilizing at a width of 43 m. Forty-two hours after opening, the salinity in the pond suddenly jumped from 7 to 19. Pond salinity reached 26 about four days after the inlet opened. Over the course of five days, the water level in the pond fell 0.5 m, draining 530,000 m3 of water into the ocean. About 3,800 m3 of sand formed an ephemeral ebb shoal that was gradually swept to the west and back into the western beaches by wave-induced longshore transport. The inlet closed by April 28. On May 2, 8.5 days after the opening, salinity dropped to 13 and continued to fall slowly as freshwater drained into the pond. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Shark River Inlet, located on the north New Jersey coast, is served by a federal navigation channel that has until recently required little maintenance dredging. Although possessing a small estuary, the inlet is hydraulically efficient because of the small width to depth ratio of its entrance that is stabilized by parallel jetties. After placement of approximately 4.8 million m3 of beach nourishment to the north and south of the inlet as part of an erosion-control project conducted in the late 1990s, inlet maintenance increased beyond that anticipated. Analysis of channel and nearshore surveys indicates that an ebb-tidal delta is forming where none had existed previously, attributed to the recent availability of sand from the beach nourishment and a lack of sand prior to that construction. Jetty tip shoals also encroach on the channel, dependent on season, with longshore transport directed primarily to the north during summer (the predominant direction of transport) and to the south during winter. Formation of the ebb delta must be accounted for in the sand budget of the adjacent beaches. After conducting a GIS analysis of ebb delta growth to understand geomorphic trends, the Coastal Modeling System (CMS) was established to numerically simulate waves, current, sand transport, and morphology change. The CMS reproduced observed trends in ebb-delta growth, and multi-year simulations indicate the time scale of approach to dynamic equilibrium of the ebb delta and establishment of natural sand bypassing at the inlet.

AB - Packery Channel is an artificial inlet that occupies a historic ephemeral pathway between Corpus Christi Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. In 2005, the inlet was opened by Hurricane Emily during its construction and has remained open and navigable for more than 4 years. The shallow-draft channel has not required maintenance dredging despite episodic shoaling during storms, including Hurricane Ike. Stability of the inlet and adjacent beach is attributed to location in the southeast corner of Corpus Christi Bay, receiving augmented ebb flow by wind setup accompanying winter fronts. The ebb current, with speed sometimes exceeding 1.0 m/s, scours sediment deposited during the summer months, thereby maintaining channel depth adequate for water exchange and navigation. After the channel opened, a deposition basin initially served as the main sediment repository for sediment scoured from the bay side. Entrance channel shoaling began to increase in 2008, initiated by 15,000 m3of beach sand that entered the channel during Hurricane Ike. Subsequent shoaling is attributed to unrestricted wind-blown transport enhanced by drought. Since completion of the 430-m long dual jetties in 2006, an ebb-tidal delta has not formed. Ebb delta development is suppressed by a strong longshore current and longshore bar formation that alternates in direction seasonally, and by strong bursts of ebb flow during winter. The inlet is located in a region of nearly balanced longshore sediment transport, indicated by near-symmetric shoreline response at each jetty. The shoreline within a 1-km zone of the inlet advanced at a rate of 7.5 m/yr, whereas along the 18-km monitoring area it receded at a rate of 1.6 m/yr, reflecting in part the influence of Hurricane Ike. Channel performance tracks closely with that reported in the original design, with stability to date exceeding those 1997 predictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Fire Island, New York, is a 50-kilometer-long barrier island that has remained positionally stable without any formation of breach inlets for nearly 200 years. Some researchers have attributed its stability to a major supply of sand moving onshore from relatively deep water (i.e., >10 m depths). Others have demonstrated via sediment budgets that the principal sand sources at decadal to century time scales are littoral sediments derived from eroding beaches, bluffs, and cannibalization of inlet shoals in shallower depths (i.e., ⩽10 m). Published sediment budgets indicate that the quantity in question is of the order 105 m3/yr. The possibility that this deep-water source of sand is significant, active, and persistent at decadal to century time scales has led to reluctance to mine deep-water shoals for beach nourishment of Fire Island. Herein, the authors review five factors related to the potential for a significant deep-water sand source in this setting: (1) spatial and temporal frames of reference necessary for this flux of sand; (2) studies of scour and sediment transport over offshore features; (3) sediment size distribution across the foreshore; (4) depth of closure (DOC); and (5) contribution of abandoned inlet shoals. The authors conclude that evidence for an onshore flux of sediment (i.e., order of 105 m3/yr) is lacking and suggest that reluctance to mine the offshore for beach nourishment is unfounded.

AB - The Coastal Modeling System (CMS), developed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center's (ERDC) Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP), is applied to model morphology change at a dual-inlet system, the Johns Pass and Blind Pass system in West-Central Florida. The CMS combines computation of current, wave, and sediment transport, leading to the prediction of morphology change at tidal inlets and the surrounding beaches. Medium-term CMS runs, with simulated times of 1.2 to 1.6 years, were completed and compared with extensive field data. Stronger tidal flow through the dominating Johns Pass and weaker flow through the secondary Blind Pass were calculated, indicating that the model reproduced an essential aspect of this interactive two-inlet system. The complicated wave refraction and breaking over the ebb tidal deltas and along the adjacent shorelines were accurately modeled, leading to a realistic representation of the wave-current interaction. Wave-breaking induced elevated sediment suspension and transport were described by the model. The predicted morphology change agreed well with field data. The CMS captured several key spatial trends of morphology change, e.g., erosion along the downdrift beach and accretion at the attachment point. The computed 32,000 m3/yr sedimentation volume in the dredge pit at the updrift side of Blind Pass matched the measured value of 35,000 m3/yr with a similar spatial distribution pattern, suggesting that the calculated net longshore sediment transport rates are accurate. The computed sedimentation rate of 60,000 m3/yr at a designed dredge pit on Johns Pass ebb-delta agrees with the generally accepted gross longshore transport rate. Rapid and large morphology change in response to high wave-energy events is predicted and is consistent with field observations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper presents a depth-averaged sediment transport model with emphasis on morphodynamic processes near coastal inlets and navigation channels. The model solves the depth-averaged two-dimensional non-equilibrium transport equation of total-load sediment, considering bed-material hiding and exposure, avalanching and sediment transport over hard bottoms. The model is coupled with a depth-averaged circulation model and a spectral wave transformation model. Predicted bed changes are compared with measurements for two laboratory experiments of channel infilling and in a field study at Shinnecock Inlet, Long Island, NY. The results indicate that the model is capable of predicting the general trends of morphology change and provides a useful tool for engineering applications such as coastal sediment management, navigation channel maintenance, and beach erosion protection.

AB - An implicit finite volume scheme is developed to solve the depth-averaged 2-D shallow water flow equations. The computational mesh consists of rectangular cells, with quadtree technology incorporated to locally refine the mesh around structures of interest or where the topography and/or flow properties change sharply. The grid nodes are numbered by means of an unstructured index system for more flexibility. The governing equations are solved using the SIMPLEC algorithm on non-staggered grid to handle the coupling of water level and velocity. In this non-staggered system, primary variables u-, v-velocity, and water level are stored on the same set of grid points, and fluxes at cell faces are determined using the Rhie and Chow's momentum interpolation method to avoid spurious checkerboard oscillations. The discretized algebraic equations are solved iteratively using the GMRES method. The model has been tested against measurement data for steady flow around a spur-dyke in a laboratory flume and tidal flows in Gironde Estuary, France and Grays Harbor, USA. The model reasonably well reproduces the temporal and spatial variations of water level and current speed observed in the measurements. The laboratory test has demonstrated that the quadtree mesh is cost-effective, while the two field cases have shown that the model is very stable and handles wetting and drying efficiently.

AB - The Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) has developed a nearshore spectral wave transformation numerical model to address needs of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) navigation projects. The model is called CMS-Wave and is part of Coastal Modeling System (CMS) for wave estimates in the vicinity of coastal and estuarine navigation channels. It can simulate important wave processes at coastal inlets including wave diffraction, refraction, reflection, wave breaking and dissipation mechanisms, wave-current interaction, and wave generation and growth. This paper describes recent improvements in CMS-Wave that include semi-empirical estimates of wave run-up and overtopping, nonlinear wave-wave interactions, and wave dissipation over muddy bottoms. CMS-Wave may be used with nested grids and variable rectangular cells in a rapid mode to assimilate full-plane wave generation for circulation and sediment transport models. A brief description of these recent capabilities is provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - CMS-Flow is a coupled time-dependent circulation, sediment transport and morphodynamic model based on the numerical solution of the mass, momentum and transport equations on a Cartesian (quad-tree) grid network with both explicit and implicit solvers. It has been developed and is currently supported under the Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) conducted at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL). The model's primary function is to support multi-disciplinary research teams and conduct practical projects at coastal inlets. CMS-Flow has been designed with a relatively simple code structure which allows for rapid development and inclusion of new sediment transport algorithms, while always being accessible to the general modeling community, including both USACE and commercial users. Today, CMS-Flow is an integral component of the CIRP, providing technology for simulating hydrodynamics, waves, sediment transport and morphology for short and long timeframes in coastal inlets, adjacent beaches, navigation channels and bays.

AB - The two-dimensional (2D) depth-averaged river model Finite-Element Surface-Water Modeling System (FESWMS) was used to predict flow distribution at the bend of a compound channel. The site studied was the Highway 13 bridge over the Big Sioux River in Flandreau, South Dakota. The Flandreau site has complex channel and floodplain geometry that produces unique flow conditions at the bridge crossing. The 2D model was calibrated using flow measurements obtained during two floods in 1993. The calibrated model was used to examine the hydraulic and geomorphic factors that affect the main channel and floodplain flows and the flow interactions between the two portions. A one-dimensional (1D) flow model of the bridge site was also created in Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) for comparison. Soil samples were collected from the bridge site and tested in an erosion function apparatus (EFA) to determine the critical shear stress and erosion rate constant. The results of EFA testing and 2D flow modeling were used as inputs to the Scour Rate in Cohesive Soils (SRICOS) method to predict local scour at the northern and southernmost piers. The sensitivity of predicted scour depth to the hydraulic and soil parameters was examined. The predicted scour depth was very sensitive to the approach-flow velocity and critical shear stress. Overall, this study has provided a better understanding of 2D flow effects in compound channels and an overall assessment of the SRICOS method for prediction of bridge pier scour.

AB - A vegetation-protruding-above-snow parameterization for earth system models was developed to improve energy budget calculations of interactions among vegetation, snow, and the atmosphere in nonforested areas. These areas include shrublands, grasslands, and croplands, which represent 68%% of the seasonally snow-covered Northern Hemisphere land surface (excluding Greenland). Snow depth observations throughout nonforested areas suggest that mid- to late-winter snowpack depths are often comparable or lower than the vegetation heights. As a consequence, vegetation protruding above the snow cover has an important impact on snow-season surface energy budgets. The protruding vegetation parameterization uses disparate energy balances for snow-covered and protruding vegetation fractions of each model grid cell, and fractionally weights these fluxes to define grid-average quantities. SnowModel, a spatially distributed snow-evolution modeling system, was used to test and assess the parameterization. Simulations were conducted during the winters of 2005/06 and 2006/07 for conditions of 1) no protruding vegetation (the control) and 2) with protruding vegetation. The spatial domain covered Colorado, Wyoming, and portions of the surrounding states; 81%% of this area is nonforested. The surface net radiation, energy, and moisture fluxes displayed considerable differences when protruding vegetation was included. For shrubs, the net radiation, sensible, and latent fluxes changed by an average of 12.7, 6.9, and −−22.7 W m−−2, respectively. For grass and crops, these fluxes changed by an average of 6.9, −−0.8, and −−7.9 W m−−2, respectively. Daily averaged flux changes were as much as 5 times these seasonal averages. As such, the new parameterization represents a major change in surface flux calculations over more simplistic and less physically realistic approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Military and industrial facilities need secure and reliable power generation. Grid outages can result in cascading infrastructure failures as well as security breaches and should be avoided. Adding redundancy and increasing reliability can require additional environmental, financial, logistical, and other considerations and resources. Uncertain scenarios consisting of emergent environmental conditions, regulatory changes, growth of regional energy demands, and other concerns result in further complications. Decisions on selecting energy alternatives are made on an ad hoc basis. The present work integrates scenario analysis and multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to identify combinations of impactful emergent conditions and to perform a preliminary benefits analysis of energy and environmental security investments for industrial and military installations. Application of a traditional MCDA approach would require significant stakeholder elicitations under multiple uncertain scenarios. The approach proposed in this study develops and iteratively adjusts a scoring function for investment alternatives to find the scenarios with the most significant impacts on installation security. A robust prioritization of investment alternatives can be achieved by integrating stakeholder preferences and focusing modeling and decision-analytical tools on a few key emergent conditions and scenarios. The approach is described and demonstrated for a campus of several dozen interconnected industrial buildings within a major installation.

AB - In laboratory studies, insecticides (diflubenzuron, novaluron, methoprene and, pyriproxyfen) that have been incorporated into rodent diets were effective as feed-throughs against sand fly larvae. Novaluron also was effective against sand fly larvae at low concentrations and under simulated field conditions. Ivermectin has been shown to be effective as a systemic insecticide, killing 100% of blood-feeding sand flies for up to seven d after rodents were treated. The fluorescent tracer technique (FTT) is the use of certain fluorescent dyes (rhodamine B or uranine O) as feed-through transtadial biomarkers for phlebotomine sand flies, systemic biomarkers for blood-feeding sand flies, and permanent markers for nectar-feeding sand flies. The results of these laboratory studies provide proof of concept for the FTT and indicate that the FTT could be used to delineate specific foci with rodent/sand fly associations that would be susceptible to control by using feed-through or systemic insecticides, or foci where insecticide-treated sugar baits could be used against sand flies.

AB - Field observations over a fringing reef at Ipan, Guam, during trade wind and tropical storm conditions are used to assess the transformation of sea and swell energy from the fore reef to the shoreline. Parameterizations of wave breaking and bottom friction developed for sandy beaches are found to represent the observed decay in wave energy with an increased friction coefficient. These parameterizations are incorporated into the one-dimensional energy flux balance, which is integrated across the reef to assess the effects of varying tidal range, incident wave height and reef bathymetry on the sea and swell band wave height and wave setup near the shoreline. Wave energy on the reef is strongly depth-limited and controlled by the reef submergence level. Shoreline wave energy increases with incident wave height largely due to the increase in water level from breaking wave setup. Increased tidal levels result in increased shoreline energy, since wave setup is only weakly reduced. The wave height at the shore is shown to be inversely proportional to the width of the reef flat due to dissipation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The intracoelomic surgical implantation of electronic tags (including radio and acoustic telemetry transmitters, passive integrated transponders and archival biologgers) is frequently used for conducting studies on fish. Electronic tagging studies provide information on the spatial ecology, behavior and survival of fish in marine and freshwater systems. However, any surgical procedure, particularly one where a laparotomy is performed and the coelomic cavity is opened, has the potential to alter the survival, behavior or condition of the animal which can impair welfare and introduce bias. Given that management, regulatory and conservation decisions are based on the assumption that fish implanted with electronic tags have similar fates and behavior relative to untagged conspecifics, it is critical to ensure that best surgical practices are being used. Also, the current lack of standardized surgical procedures and reporting of specific methodological details precludes cross-study and cross-year analyses which would further progress the field of fisheries science. This compilation of papers seeks to identify the best practices for the entire intracoelomic tagging procedure including pre- and post-operative care, anesthesia, wound closure, and use of antibiotics. Although there is a particular focus on salmonid smolts given the large body of literature available on that group, other life-stages and species of fish are discussed where there is sufficient knowledge. Additional papers explore the role of the veterinarian in fish surgeries, the need for minimal standards in the training of fish surgeons, providing a call for more complete and transparent procedures, and identifying trends in procedures and research needs. Collectively, this body of knowledge should help to improve data quality (including comparability and repeatability), enhance management and conservation strategies, and maintain the welfare status of tagged fish.

AB - Early approaches to surgical implantation of electronic tags in fish were often through trial and error, however, in recent years there has been an interest in using scientific research to identify techniques and procedures that improve the outcome of surgical procedures and determine the effects of tagging on individuals. Here we summarize the trends in 108 peer-reviewed electronic tagging effect studies focused on intracoleomic implantation to determine opportunities for future research. To date, almost all of the studies have been conducted in freshwater, typically in laboratory environments, and have focused on biotelemetry devices. The majority of studies have focused on salmonids, cyprinids, ictalurids and centrarchids, with a regional bias towards North America, Europe and Australia. Most studies have focused on determining whether there is a negative effect of tagging relative to control fish, with proportionally fewer that have contrasted different aspects of the surgical procedure (e.g., methods of sterilization, incision location, wound closure material) that could advance the discipline. Many of these studies included routine endpoints such as mortality, growth, healing and tag retention, with fewer addressing sublethal measures such as swimming ability, predator avoidance, physiological costs, or fitness. Continued research is needed to further elevate the practice of electronic tag implantation in fish in order to ensure that the data generated are relevant to untagged conspecifics (i.e., no long-term behavioural or physiological consequences) and the surgical procedure does not impair the health and welfare status of the tagged fish. To that end, we advocate for (1) rigorous controlled manipulations based on statistical designs that have adequate power, account for inter-individual variation, and include controls and shams, (2) studies that transcend the laboratory and the field with more studies in marine waters, (3) incorporation of knowledge and techniques emerging from the medical and veterinary disciplines, (4) addressing all components of the surgical event, (5) comparative studies that evaluate the same surgical techniques on multiple species and in different environments, (6) consideration of how biotic factors (e.g., sex, age, size) influence tagging outcomes, and (7) studies that cover a range of endpoints over ecologically relevant time periods.

AB - Many telemetry-based studies require that fish be sampled from the wild and then held both prior to and after the implantation of an electronic tag. However, the effects of such holding (or the lack thereof) have yet to be studied intensively. Pre-surgical holding often occurs to facilitate logistical needs of research projects and as an attempt to minimize negative physiological effects due to capture and handling stress. Further, post-surgical holding time and conditions greatly influence the physiological state of fish prior to being returned to the wild. This paper reviews pertinent studies pertaining to the effects of surgical holding on the behavior, physiology, and survival of fishes, with particular emphasis on juvenile salmonids. The effects of individual aspects of surgical holding such as handling, water quality, light conditions, holding density, metabolic scope, and duration of holding are reviewed. Recommendations regarding certain aspects of surgical holding are offered with a goal of reducing bias related to the surgical process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Advances in remote-sensing technology have led to its increased use for posthurricane disaster response and assessment; however, the use of the technology is underutilized in the recovery phase of the disaster management cycle. This study illustrates an example of a postdisaster recovery assessment by detecting coastal land cover, elevation, and volume changes using 3 years of post-Katrina hyperspectral and light detection and ranging data collected along the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana. Digital elevation models and basic land-cover classifications were generated for a 34- km2 study area for 2005, 2006, and 2007. A change detection method was used to assess postdisaster land-cover, elevation, and volume changes. Results showed that the vegetation classes had area increases, whereas bare ground/ roads and structures classes had area decreases. Overall estimated volume changes included a net volume decrease of 1.6 3 106 m3 in 2005 to 2006 and a net volume decrease of 2.1 3 106 m3 in 2006 to 2007 within the study area. More specifically, low vegetation and bare ground/roads classes had net volume increases, whereas medium and tall vegetation and structures classes had net volume decreases. These changes in land cover, elevation, and volume illustrate some of the major physical impacts of the disaster and ensuing recovery. This study demonstrates an innovative image fusion approach to assess physical changes and postdisaster recovery in a residential, coastal environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Large-scale ecological restoration programs are beginning to supplement isolated projects implemented on rivers and tidal waterways. Nevertheless, the effects of estuary and river restoration often continue to be evaluated at local project scales or by integration in an additive manner. Today, we have sufficient scientific understanding to apply knowledge gained from measuring cumulative impacts of anthropogenic stressors on ecosystems to assessment of ecological restoration. Integration of this knowledge has potential to increase the efficacy of restoration projects that are conducted at several locations but comanaged within the confines of a larger integrative program. We introduce a framework based on a levels-of-evidence approach that facilitates assessment of the cumulative landscape effects of individual restoration actions taken at many different locations. It incorporates data collection at restoration and reference sites, hydrodynamic modeling, geographic information systems, and meta-analyses in a five-stage process: design, data development, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, and application. This framework evolved from the need to evaluate the efficacy of restoration projects that are being implemented in numerous wetlands on the 235 km tidal portion of the Columbia River, USA, which are intended to increase rearing habitat for out-migrating juvenile salmonid fishes.

AB - The size and density of microbial cells determine the time that pathogens can remain airborne and thus, their potential to infect by the respiratory route. We determined the density and size distribution of Burkholderia pseudomallei cells in comparison with other Burkholderia species, including B. mallei and B. thailandensis, all prepared and analyzed under similar conditions. The observed size distribution and densities of several bacterial strains indicates that aerosolized particles consisting of one or of a few B. pseudomallei cells should be efficiently retained in the lungs, highlighting the risk of transmission of melioidosis by the respiratory route when the pathogen is present in fluids from infected patients or aerosolized from the environment.

AB - During nine small-scale laboratory experiments simulating combined wave overtopping and storm surge overflow on a trapezoidal levee, time series measurements of flow thickness and velocity were acquired at a location on the levee crest and at a location on the landward-side slope. Flow thickness and velocity were combined to estimate time series of the instantaneous discharge. Comparisons of the calculated overtopping discharge time series at the two locations revealed that the time series of instantaneous discharge was the same at both locations with the only difference being a short phase lag. Individual peaks of the discharge time series were examined, and an empirical expression was determined for the root-mean-squared discharge peak. The largest discharge peaks were overestimated by the Rayleigh distribution. For locations on the landward-side slope where the friction slope is approximately the same as the levee slope, it is possible to derive a stream power probability density function based on the overtopping discharge cumulative exceedance probability. The stream power probability density function may be a useful tool for assessing erosion potential of overtopped earthen levees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The armor layer on the sea side of a rubble structure must be designed to protect against incident waves during storms. Formulas for armor stability and damage progression have been developed and are widely used for practical applications. However, none of the formulas accounts for the water depth at the toe of the structure explicitly. An alternative approach based on the maximum wave momentum flux at the toe of the structure is proposed in this article. Equations for sizing stable armor stone for constant incident waves and water level are proposed and calibrated using available data. Equations are also developed for determining damage progression in a life-cycle analysis involving varying wave and water level characteristics. The developed equations are calibrated using the damage progression tests conducted previously by the authors and verified using an additional 10 tests conducted for this article.

AB - Objective: This paper describes why the research project was conducted in terms of demonstrating the utility of the Department of Defense Serum Repository in addressing deployment environmental exposures. Methods: The history deployment exposure surveillance was reviewed and the rationale for developing validated biomarkers that were detected in sera in postdeployment samples and compared with nondeployed controls was described. The goal was to find validated biomarkers that are associated with both exposures and health outcomes. Results: The articles in this supplement described novel serum biomarkers that were found to be associated with deployment exposures and weakly associated with some health outcomes. Conclusions: Future research must continue to validate the use of serum biomarkers when operational contingencies prevent the gold standard collection of real-time breathing zone samples in deployed service members.

AB - Since the end of the Cold War, there has been a transformation of security in Latin America. Latin American countries have been moving toward the concepts of multidimensional security and security of the individual and society, and away from the classical understanding of the security dilemma posed by an external threat to the state. Illegal narcotics, the proliferation of guns, and other transnational threats, combined with undergoverned space and the weak state syndrome, generated an extraordinary crime wave, which gives the region the highest murder rate in the world. Moreover, crime imposes a heavy cost on economic growth and democratic governance. This insecurity crosses international borders, and the institutions of public security--police, military, and judicial systems-- are hard pressed to meet the challenge. The privatization of security is a symptom of the problem and a potential source of abuse. The United States shares responsibility for the violence due to U.S. demand for illegal drugs and the fact that it is a supplier of arms to Latin America. At the same time, there is a growing consensus in support of common action, as evidenced by the international coalition that is operating under Operation Martillo--the antinarcotics effort in the Caribbean and Central America. Moreover, a number of Latin American countries contribute to international peace operations. Accordingly, the new strategic consensus among Latin American countries should be a cause for common action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A firn air cooling system that utilized the natural reservoir of cool air at depth in polar ice sheets was tested at Summit Station, Greenland during the summer of 2010. Cooling is required on station to meet the requirements for food safety and scientific core storage. Firn air cooling is a potential replacement for traditional mechanical cooling systems. The system design, installation, and results of several experiments are presented. The system cooled a enclosed, insulated structure from to using a 10-m borehole and a fan pumping the naturally cool air. The system was easy to install in a short time frame and was low cost from an equipment and operating perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) causes lethal shock by potently stimulating the host immune response. Dexamethasone and /V-acetyl cysteine (NAC) are anti-inflammatory and antioxidative drugs, respectively, which can independently modulate immune function. Dexamethasone was previously shown to be effective in preventing SEB-induced shock models only if administered early and in multiple doses for a long duration. In this study, dexamethasone and NAC were used in tandem and protected mice (75%) against SEB-induced lethal shock. Hypothermia and weight loss elicited by SEB were also diminished by this novel combination treatment. The levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and mouse gamma interferon in lung tissue after intranasal exposure to SEB were also significantly reduced in mice given a combination of dexamethasone and NAC versus controls.

AB - We utilize a mixed methods approach to provide three new, separate analyses as part of the development of the next aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC) platform of the Future of Vertical Lift (FVL) program. The research questions follow: RQ!) What are the optimal capabilities of a FVL MEDEVAC platform given an Afghanistan-like scenario and parameters associated with the treatment/ground evacuation capabilities in that theater?; RQ2) What are the MEDEVAC trade-off considerations associated with different aircraft engines operating under variable conditions?; RQ3) How does the additional weight of weaponizing the current MEDEVAC fleet affect range, coverage radius, and response time? We address RQ1 using discrete-event simulation based partially on qualitative assessments from the field, while RQ2 and RQ3 are based on deterministic analysis. Our results confirm previous findings that travel speeds in excess of 250 knots and ranges in excess of 300 nautical miles are advisable for the FVL platform design, thereby reducing the medical footprint in stability operations. We recommend a specific course of action regarding a potential engine bridging strategy based on deterministic analysis of endurance and altitude, and we suggest that the weaponization of the FVL MEDEVAC aircraft will have an adverse effect on coverage capability.

Soldiers in the population examined (n = 8,943) who were granted enlistment waivers from 2003 to 2008 were significantly more likely to subsequently be screened for alcohol/substance abuse, test positive for illicit substances, or receive an Army separation for behavioral misconduct. These associations were highest among Soldiers granted waivers for nonlawful alcohol/drug violations. Soldiers granted waivers for felony offenses and serious nontraffic violations were significantly less likely to separate from the Army compared with Soldiers not granted enlistment waivers.

AB - Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), a principal injury of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, can result in significant morbidity. To make accurate return-to-duty decisions for soldiers with mTBI, military medical personnel require sensitive, objective, and duty-relevant data to characterize subtle cognitive and sensorimotor injury sequelae. A military-civilian research team reviewed existing literature and obtained input from stakeholders, end users, and experts to specify the concept and develop a preliminary assessment protocol to address this need. Results of the literature review suggested the potential utility of a test based on dual-task and multitask assessment methods. Thirty-three individuals representing a variety of military and civilian stakeholders/experts participated in interviews. Interview data suggested that reliability/validity, clinical feasibility, usability across treatment facilities, military face validity, and capacity to challenge mission-critical mTBI vulnerabilities were important to ultimate adoption. The research team developed the Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance, a tool composed of eight dual and multitasking test- tasks. A concept test session with 10 subjects indicated preliminary face validity and informed modifications to scoring and design. Further validation is needed. The Assessment of Military Multitasking Performance may fill a gap identified by stakeholders for complex cognitive/motor testing to assist return-to-duty decisions for service members with mTBI.

AB - Introduction: The pulsatile secretion pattern of growth hormone (GH) is an important parameter of GH action at peripheral tissues, and more information is needed on how exercise impacts GH secretion. This study hypothesized that both aerobic and resistance exercise would exhibit dose-response relationships with respect to exercise duration and 20-h postexercise GH secretion. Methods: Eight healthy men randomly completed five separate conditions: 1) control (no exercise; CON), 2) a moderate-duration (1-h) aerobic exercise session (MA), 3) a long-duration (2-h) aerobic exercise session (LA), 4) a moderate-duration (1-h) resistance exercise session (MR), and 5) a long-duration (2-h) resistance exercise session (LR). Exercise intensity, diet, sleep, and physical activity were strictly controlled during each condition, and blood was sampled postexercise every 20 min for 20 h, and GH secretion parameters were analyzed via cluster and deconvolution analyses. Results: Only the 2-h aerobic exercise bout resulted in a significant amplification of GH secretion as evidenced by increases in GH burst peak amplitude (~100%), basal GH secretion rate (~127%), total GH basal secretion (~120%), total pulsatile secretion (~88%), and total GH secretion (~89%) over the control (i.e., no exercise) condition. GH secretions for the resistance exercise conditions were not different from control. Conclusions: The fact that the 2-h aerobic exercise condition resulted in higher energy expenditure than the other exercise conditions could offer a partial explanation for the greater GH amplification because of the metabolic effects that GH exerts in stimulating postexercise lipolysis. We conclude that extending the duration of aerobic exercise, but not resistance exercise, from 1- to 2-h significantly amplifies GH secretion during a 20-h period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The biology and population dynamics ofTrichopria columbiana, a native semi-aquatic parasitoid of ephydrid flies of the genusHydrellia, were investigated in Florida and Texas, USA.Hydrellia pakistanaeandHydrellia balciunasiwere introduced for classical biological control of the invasive aquatic weedHydrilla verticillatain the 1980s and acquiredT. columbianapost-release. Several life history parameters ofT. columbianawere investigated in the laboratory, including fecundity, egg shape and size, number and location of egg(s) deposited per host, preferred host age, description and number of instars, mode of respiration and host-selection behaviour. Field studies included seasonal abundance ofT. columbianaand the introducedHydrelliaspp., parasitism levels, overwintering stage and adult winter sex ratio.T. columbianais a synovigenic solitary endoparasitoid that developed from egg to adult in 21.9 ± 0.2 days under laboratory conditions. Eggs ofT. columbianaare hydropic, hymenopteriform in shape and possess a double membrane. Larvae have three instars; first instars have sclerotised mandibles, bifurcated abdominal appendages and are free floating in the host’s haemolymph. Second and third instars are grub-like and remain attached to the host’s tracheal system until pupation. Individual females produced on average 23.2 ± 0.6 eggs and survived 15.6 ± 1.8 days. Highest parasitism levels of early and intermediate stage pupae occurred when wasps were 8–9 days old. Field parasitism rates of the two introducedHydrelliaspp. averaged 19.1%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study identifies a full range of ecosystem services that could be affected by a restoration project in the central Everglades and monetizes the economic value of a subset of these services using existing data. Findings suggest that the project will potentially increase many ecosystem services that have considerable economic value to society. The ecosystem services monetized within the scope of this study are a subset of the difference between the future-with the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) and the future-without CEPP, and they totaled ~$1.8 billion USD at a 2.5% discount rate. Findings suggest that the use of ecosystem services in project planning and communications may require acknowledgment of the difficulty of monetizing important services and the limitations associated with using only existing data and models. Results of this study highlight the need for additional valuation efforts in this region, focused on those services that are likely to be impacted by restoration activities but were notably challenging to value in this assessment due to shortages of data.

AB - Knowledge of the demography and habitat requirements of the endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler (Setophaga chrysoparia) is needed for its recovery, including measures of productivity instead of reproductive indices. We report on breeding phenology and demography, calculate model-based estimates of nest survival and seasonal productivity and evaluate support for relationships with forest type, forest edge density, day of year, and year, and determine correspondence in these 2 measures of reproductive success. Males arrived in early March. Females laid the first egg of the first clutch in early April, made up to 5 nesting attempts, and completed nesting by mid-June. The most-supported nest survival model included day of year, proportion of juniper and juniper-oak forest within a 100-m radius of each nest, and the interactive effect of year and forest edge density. The most-supported seasonal productivity model included proportion of each forest type and the interactive effect of year and forest edge density. Seasonal productivity increased from 1.38 to 3.96 fledglings per territory and from 1.38 to 2.40 fledglings per territory across 0.00 to 0.87 and 0.00 to 1.00 proportion of juniper and proportion of juniper-oak forest, respectively. Seasonal productivity ranged from 1.86 to 3.12 fledglings per territory in 2010 and 2004, respectively (mean ± SD = 2.36 ± 0.37). Correlations between nest survival and seasonal productivity were strong when we controlled for the effect of year indicating demographic parameters other than nest survival, particularly renesting, double brooding, and polygyny, made an important contribution to actual seasonal productivity. The similarity in relationships of both measures of reproductive success with forest type and edge density and parallel findings for density with these habitat metrics reported in other studies provide strong rationale for protecting sites with high proportions of juniper and juniper-oak forest and less forest edge to further recovery efforts for the Golden-cheeked Warbler.

AB - Se necesitan conocer la demografía y los requerimientos de hábitat de la especie en peligro Setophaga chrysoparia para su recuperación, incluyendo mediciones de productividad en lugar de índices reproductivos. Brindamos resultados de fenología reproductiva y de demografía, calculamos estimaciones de supervivencia del nido y productividad estacional basadas en modelos y evaluamos las relaciones con el tipo de bosque, la densidad de borde de bosque, el día del año y el año, y determinamos la correspondencia en estas dos medidas de éxito reproductivo. Los machos llegaron a principios de marzo. Las hembras pusieron el primer huevo de la primera nidada a principios de abril, realizaron hasta cinco intentos de nidificación y completaron la nidificación hasta mediados de junio. El modelo de supervivencia del nido con mayor soporte incluyó el día del año, la proporción de bosque de enebro y enebro-roble dentro de un radio de 100 m desde cada nido, y el efecto interactivo del año y la densidad de borde de bosque. El modelo de productividad estacional con mayor soporte incluyó la proporción de cada tipo de bosque y el efecto interactivo del año y la densidad de borde de bosque. La productividad estacional aumentó de 1.38 a 3.96 volantones por territorio y de 1.38 a 2.40 volantones por territorio a través de 0.00 a 0.87 y de 0.00 a 1.00 de proporción de enebro y de proporción de bosque de enebro-roble, respectivamente. La productividad estacional varió entre 1.86 y 3.12 volantones por territorio en 2010 y 2004, respectivamente (media ± DE = 2.36 ± 0.37). Las correlaciones entre supervivencia del nido y productividad estacional fueron fuertes cuando controlamos por el efecto del año, indicando que los parámetros demográficos distintos de la supervivencia del nido, particularmente la nidificación repetida, la nidada doble y la poliginia contribuyeron de modo importante a la productividad estacional. La similitud en las relaciones de ambas medidas de éxito reproductivo con el tipo de bosque y la densidad de borde, y los hallazgos paralelos de densidad usando estas métricas de hábitat presentados en otros estudios, brindan un fuerte argumento para proteger los sitios con alta proporción de bosque de enebro y enebro-roble y menos borde de bosque, permitiendo impulsar los esfuerzos de recuperación de S. chrysoparia.

AB - We investigated a mixed outbreak of Legionnaires' disease (LD) and Pontiac fever (PF) at a military base to identify the outbreak's environmental source as well as known legionellosis risk factors. Base workers with possible legionellosis were interviewed and, if consenting, underwent testing for legionellosis. A retrospective cohort study collected information on occupants of the buildings closest to the outbreak source. We identified 29 confirmed and probable LD and 38 PF cases. All cases were exposed to airborne pathogens from a cooling tower. Occupants of the building closest to the cooling tower were 6·9 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2·2–22·0] and 5·5 (95% CI 2·1–14·5) times more likely to develop LD and PF, respectively, than occupants of the next closest building. Thorough preventive measures and aggressive responses to outbreaks, including searching for PF cases in mixed legionellosis outbreaks, are essential for legionellosis control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Assessing the best options among emerging technologies (e.g., new chemicals, nanotechnologies) is complicated because of trade-offs across benefits and risks that are difficult to quantify given limited and fragmented availability of information. This study demonstrates the integration of multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) to address technology alternative selection decisions. As a case study, prioritization of six lumber treatment alternatives [micronized copper quaternary (MCQ); alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ); water-borne copper naphthenate (CN); oil-borne copper naphthenate (CN0); water-borne copper qumolate (CQ); and water-borne zinc naphthenate (ZN)] for military use are considered. Multiattribute value theory (MAVT) is used to derive risk and benefit scores. Risk scores are calculated using a cradle-to-gate LCA Benefit scores are calculated by scoring of cost, durability, and corrosiveness criteria. Three weighting schemes are used, representing Environmental, Military and Balanced stakeholder perspectives. Aggregated scores from all three perspectives show CQ to be the least favorable alterative. MCQ is identified as the most favorable alternative from the Environmental stakeholder perspective. From the Military stakeholder perspective, ZN is determined to be the most favorable alternative, followed closely by MCQ This type of scoring and ranking of multiple heterogeneous criteria in a systematic and transparent way facilitates better justification of technology selection and regulation.

AB - The results obtained from the combustion behavior of propane over platinum and rhodium catalysts in a meso-scale heat recirculating combustor are presented. The extinction limits, conversion, product selectivity/yield, and activation energy using the two catalysts were compared in an effort to predict their performance using a liquid fuel. The extinction limits were also compared to those of non-catalytic combustion in the same combustor. The results showed that the use of a catalyst greatly expanded the range of stable operating conditions, in terms of both extinction limits and flow rates supported. The Rh catalyst was found to exhibit a higher propane conversion rate, reaching a maximum of 90.4% at stoichiometric conditions (as compared to only 61.4% offered by the Pt catalyst under lean conditions), but the Pt catalyst had superior CO 2 selectivity for most of the examined conditions, indicating more of the heat released being used for product formation as opposed to being lost to the environment. However, despite having a higher rate of heat loss, the combustion with the Rh catalyst produced an overall higher amount of enthalpy than the Pt due to its superior fuel conversion. The Pt catalyst also had a significantly smaller activation energy (13.8 kJ/mol) than the Rh catalyst (74.7 kJ/mol), except at equivalence ratios richer than Φ = 1.75 (corresponding to catalyst temperatures below 500 °C), where it abruptly changed to 211.4 kJ/mol, signifying a transition from diffusion-limited reactions to kinetically limited reactions at this point. The results reveal that Rh would be a more suitable catalyst for use in liquid-fueled meso-scale combustors, as fuel conversion has been found to be a limiting factor for combustion stability in these systems, and as its higher output energy allows for greater flexibility of use.

AB - Whether to restart or continue the series when anthrax vaccine doses are missed is a frequent medical management problem. We applied the noninferiority analysis model to this prospective study comparing the Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) IgG antibody response and lethal toxin neutralization activity at day 28 to the anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) (Biothrax ® ) administered on schedule or delayed. A total of 600 volunteers were enrolled: 354 in the on-schedule cohort; 246 in the delayed cohort. Differences were noted in immune responses between cohorts ( p < 0.0001) and among the racial categories ( p < 0.0001). Controlling for covariates, the delayed cohort was non-inferior to the on-schedule cohort for the rate of 4-fold rise in both anti-PA IgG concentration ( p < 0.0001) and TNA ED 50 titers ( p < 0.0001); as well as the mean log 10 -transformed anti-PA IgG concentration ( p < 0.0001) and the mean log 10 -transformed TNA ED 50 titers ( p < 0.0001). Providing a missed AVA dose after a delay as long as 5–7 years, elicits anti-PA IgG antibody and TNA ED 50 responses that are robust and non-inferior to the responses observed when the 6-month dose is given on-schedule. These important data suggest it is not necessary to restart the series when doses of the anthrax vaccine are delayed as long as 5 or more years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Nourishment in the nearshore is becoming an increasingly utilized method for regional sediment management, particularly for dredged material that contains more fine sediment than the native beach. A nearshore berm was constructed at Fort Myers Beach, Florida, USA using mixed-sized sediment dredged from a nearby channel. The nearshore berm, which is the shallowest of its kind, was placed in water depths between 1.2 and 2.4 m with the berm crest just below the mean lower low water level. Based on time-series profiles surveyed from 2009 to 2013, the nearshore berm migrated onshore while the system was approaching a dynamic equilibrium. The distant passage of two tropical storms in the third year generated exceptionally high waves for the study area. Substantial profile change induced by the energetic conditions contributed to rapid evolution of the berm profiles toward equilibrium. Near the end of the fourth year, the berm profiles had returned to the equilibrium shape characteristic of the study area. Gaps in the berm allowed water circulation when the berm became emergent and watercraft access to the beach for recreational purposes. Gaps should be considered as a design parameter for future berm nourishments. Sediment samples collected and analyzed showed that the fine sediment content in the original placed material was selectively transported and deposited offshore, while the coarser component moved onshore. The dry beach maintained the same sediment properties throughout the study period and was not influenced by the fine sediment in the initial construction of the berm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Information relevant for most hydrologic applications cannot be obtained directly from the native-scale outputs of climate models. As a result the climate model output must be downscaled, often using statistical methods. The plethora of statistical downscaling methods requires end-users to make a selection. This work is intended to provide end-users with aid in making an informed selection. We assess four commonly used statistical downscaling methods: daily and monthly disaggregated-to-daily Bias Corrected Spatial Disaggregation (BCSDd, BCSDm), Asynchronous Regression (AR), and Bias Corrected Constructed Analog (BCCA) as applied to a continental-scale domain and a regional domain (BCCAr). These methods are applied to the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis, as a surrogate for a climate model, to downscale precipitation to a 12 km gridded observation data set. Skill is evaluated by comparing precipitation at daily, monthly, and annual temporal resolutions at individual grid cells and at aggregated scales. BCSDd and the BCCA methods overestimate wet day fraction, and underestimate extreme events. The AR method reproduces extreme events and wet day fraction well at the grid-cell scale, but over (under) estimates extreme events (wet day fraction) at aggregated scales. BCSDm reproduces extreme events and wet day fractions well at all space and time scales, but is limited to rescaling current weather patterns. In addition, we analyze the choice of calibration data set by looking at both a 12 km and a 6 km observational data set; the 6 km observed data set has more wet days and smaller extreme events than the 12 km product, the opposite of expected scaling.

AB - The fragility of the modern electrical grid is exposed during random events such as storms, sporting events and often simply routine operation. Even with these obvious flaws large utilities and governments have been slow to create robust solutions due to the need of large capital investments required to address the issues. In this light creative economic and engineering solutions are desired to finance the needed upgrades. Driven by the requirement to have uninterrupted power that meets customers desires this research focuses on linking consumer preferences to a type of energy source in order to best fulfill stakeholder priorities. This approach is in contrast to the current and prevalent lowest cost methods to producing and consuming energy. This research yields a preliminary ‘micro-energy market’ that consists of an energy network architecture, pricing methodology and mathematical template which quantifies potential economic inefficiencies. If exploited these inefficiencies could be used to fund investment into various energy sources that provide unmet needs such as reduced carbon footprint, renewable, quality, and local production. These inefficiencies can be best exploited within the structure of a microgrid. Identification of opportunities on this smaller scale can provide an incentive for producers to develop a robust set of production facilities of varying size and characteristics to meet the consumer preferences. A stochastic optimization model of a microgrid implementation for a small military installation is used to evaluate the effects of this pricing methodology.

AB - This study simulated large-scale monitoring program operations to evaluate the responses of age-1 Chinook SalmonOncorhynchus tshawytschato tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222; 80 mg/L) exposure and intracoelomic acoustic microtransmitter implantation. The MS-222 exposure effects and appropriate exposure times for juvenile Chinook Salmon undergoing intracoelomic implantation were determined using blood analytes (Na+, K+, Ca2+), blood pH, plasma cortisol, and survival immediately following anesthetic exposure (3, 6, 9, and 12 min on day 0) and over a recovery period (days 1, 7, and 14). In addition, effects were examined in surgically implanted and nonimplanted fish (but exposed to MS-222 for 3 min) over a 14-d recovery period. Regardless of anesthetic exposure time, there were no mortalities during exposure on day 0 or over the recovery period. On day 0, MS-222 exposure treatments of 9 and 12 min resulted in significantly higher Na+and Ca2+and lower K+, indicating a reduced ability to maintain osmotic balance; however, MS-222 effectively dampened the cortisol release following surgical implantation and anesthetic exposure. Cortisol concentration was significantly higher in surgically implanted fish than in those not surgically implanted over the recovery period. Given these results, we recommend MS-222 exposure (80 mg/L) times of 6 min or less for compliance programs and studies involving age-1 Chinook Salmon. In addition, we recommend for other monitoring programs, regardless of species, that maximum MS-222 exposure times are implemented to minimize stress and surgical effect and that exposure times are specific to a species’ life stage to prevent overexposure and long-term effects. Furthermore, the knowledge of effects and the development of maximum exposure times are beneficial for hatchery programs, fish barging or transportation programs, and most studies in which fish behavior and physiological responses would need to be dampened using MS-222 without adverse side effects.

AB - High survival through hydropower projects is an essential element in the recovery of Pacific salmonOncorhynchusspp. populations in the Columbia River. High dam passage survival is also a regulatory requirement under the 2008 Biological Opinion (BiOp; established under the Endangered Species Act) on Federal Columbia River Power System operation. The BiOp requires dam passage survival to be at least 0.96 and at least 0.93 for spring and summer out-migrating juvenile salmonids, respectively, and to be estimated with an SE of 0.015 or lower. An innovative virtual/paired-release design was used to estimate dam passage survival, which was defined as survival from the upstream face of a dam to the tailrace mixing zone. A coordinated four-dam study was conducted during the 2012 summer out-migration using 14,026 subyearling Chinook SalmonO. tshawytschaout-migrants with surgically implanted acoustic micro-transmitter tags. The release–recapture design consisted of 9 different release locations and 14 different detection arrays. Each of the four estimates of dam passage survival exceeded BiOp requirements, with values ranging from 0.9414 to 0.9747 (SE = 0.0031–0.0114). The virtual/paired-release design illustrated here has potential applicability wherever dam passage survival of migrant juvenile fish stocks must be estimated.

AB - We examined survival, competition, and recruitment among cyprinids that were subjected to interspecific and intraspecific competition and chronic heat stress in large, outdoor experimental streams. The study was conducted in 2011 during the hottest summer (also one of the driest summers) recorded in Texas. We measured survival of Red ShinersCyprinella lutrensis, Blacktail ShinersCyprinella venusta, and Central StonerollersCampostoma anomalumstocked at varying densities to examine competitive interactions. Trophic interactions among Blacktail Shiner density treatments were assessed with stable isotope analysis (SIA), and mitochondrial markers were used to examine the lineage of young-of-the-year shiners spawned during the study. Stocking survival was significantly greater for Red Shiners, and both shiner species demonstrated higher overall survival rates than Central Stonerollers. Although SIA results were variable among replicate streams, more generalist foraging patterns were observed for Blacktail Shiners in the high-density treatment (intraspecific competition; no Red Shiners present) relative to the low-density Blacktail Shiner treatment. Less trophic redundancy was observed in the interspecific competition treatment (Blacktail Shiners and Red Shiners co-occurring) compared with the same density of Blacktail Shiners only (high-density treatment). Despite the potentially lethal water temperatures, including 4 d on which water temperatures exceeded 37°C, mitochondrial sequences showed that both Red Shiners and Blacktail Shiners were able to spawn during the study. These results collectively highlight potential mechanisms for explaining fish assemblage responses at local and landscape scales, such as the Red Shiner's recent range expansion and increased abundance in some areas of Texas. Our findings are relevant for forecasting regional changes in fish species distributions in response to more frequent droughts and warmer summers due to climate change.

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

AB - Cognitive skills training has been linked to greater skills, self-efficacy, and performance. Although research in a variety of organizational settings has demonstrated training efficacy, few studies have assessed cognitive skills training using rigorous, longitudinal, randomized trials with active controls. The present study examined cognitive skills training in a high-risk occupation by randomizing 48 platoons (N = 2,432 soldiers) in basic combat training to either (a) mental skills training or (b) an active comparison condition (military history). Surveys were conducted at baseline and 3 times across the 10-week course. Multilevel mixed-effects models revealed that soldiers in the mental skills training condition reported greater use of a range of cognitive skills and increased confidence relative to those in the control condition. Soldiers in the mental skills training condition also performed better on obstacle course events, rappelling, physical fitness, and initial weapons qualification scores, although effects were generally moderated by gender and previous experience. Overall, effects were small; however, given the rigor of the design, the findings clearly contribute to the broader literature by providing supporting evidence that cognitive training skills can enhance performance in occupational and sports settings. Future research should address gender and experience to determine the need for targeting such training appropriately. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved). (journal abstract)

AB - Wideband electromagnetic sensing and imaging of nonlinearly loaded scatterers is considered. Harmonic scattering theory is first presented, and then a generalized near-field, direct imaging functional is proposed for free-space and near-ground target localization within the context of forward-looking radar standoff detection exploiting sequential single-tone excitation. The developed scattering and imaging analysis framework is illustrated for point-like and extended targets through numerical experiments performed with a hybrid method-of-moments solver, in conjunction with a harmonic balance approach and an asymptotic field propagation technique. The steady-state harmonic scattering responses are examined in the time, frequency, and image domains for scatterers in free-space and half-space environments, and accurate target localization is demonstrated in all cases for each harmonic order considered.

AB - This paper demonstrates the use of low-cost off-the-shelf (OTS) microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology to perform vibration-based in situ monitoring, diagnostics, and characterization of a MEMS microball bearing supported radial air turbine platform. A multimodal software suite for platform automation and sensor monitoring is demonstrated using a three-level heuristic software suite and sensor network. The vibration diagnostic methods used in the platform have applications in rotary microsystems for the early detection of failure, fault diagnosis, and integrated diagnostic systems for feedback-based optimization to increase device performance, reliability, and operational lifetimes. The studied rotary microdevice used a dual OTS accelerometer configuration for dual range parallel redundant vibration analysis. The sensor suite has been used to monitor and detect multiple operational parameters measured optimally in time or frequency domains such as rotor instability, imbalance, wobble, and system resonance. This paper will lay the framework for active diagnostics in future MEMS devices through integrated systems. [2014-0236] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Because of their large swath widths of about 400-500 km, the ScanSAR modes of RADARSAT-1 and -2 and of the Advanced SAR (ASAR) system on Envisat have been the preferred modes of operation for hurricane and typhoon observations and similar applications. While C-band ScanSAR images have been demonstrated to be well suitable for wind retrievals, ocean wave retrievals are a more challenging problem: Because of the limited spatial resolution of 100 m (RADARSAT)/150 m (Envisat), only long waves can get imaged directly, and many images of tropical storm scenarios do not exhibit clear signatures of any waves in large areas. The interpretation of wave patterns that exist in an image is difficult because of the imaging mechanism's nonlinearities. We think we have found a promising new technique for wave parameter retrievals from C-band ScanSAR images, which determines peak wavelengths and directions from image spectra where possible but uses an empirically determined relation to estimate significant wave heights (SWHs) from local mean image intensities, which is similar to the method used for wind retrievals. This way, it is possible to obtain SWH estimates for the entire image and to account for the contributions of subresolution-scale waves. We explain how the algorithm works and how the empirical SWH model function has been determined from a set of hurricane images from RADARSAT-1 and reference wave spectra from a numerical wave model. The first independent test with a set of RADARSAT-2 and Envisat images from the 2010 Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific (ITOP) experiment reveals a few weaknesses but essentially confirms the feasibility of the concept.

AB - We present a semisupervised method for single-pixel classification of hyperspectral images. The proposed method is designed to address the special problematic characteristics of hyperspectral images, namely, high dimensionality of hyperspectral pixels, lack of labeled samples, and spatial variability of spectral signatures. To alleviate these problems, the proposed method features the following components. First, being a semisupervised approach, it exploits the wealth of unlabeled samples in the image by evaluating the confidence probability of the predicted labels, for each unlabeled sample. Second, we propose to jointly optimize the classifier parameters and the dictionary atoms by a task-driven formulation, to ensure that the learned features (sparse codes) are optimal for the trained classifier. Finally, it incorporates spatial information through adding a Laplacian smoothness regularization to the output of the classifier, rather than the sparse codes, making the spatial constraint more flexible. The proposed method is compared with a few comparable methods for classification of several popular data sets, and it produces significantly better classification results. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - This paper presents an enhanced, closed-form expression for the thermal resistance, and thus, the channel temperature of AlGaN/gallium nitride (GaN) HEMTs, including the effect of the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of GaN and SiC or Si substrates. In addition, the expression accounts for temperature increase across the die-attach. The model’s validity is verified by comparing it with experimental observations. The model results also compare favorably with those from finite-element numerical simulations across the various device geometric and material parameters. The model provides a more accurate channel temperature than that from a constant thermal conductivity assumption; this is particularly significant for GaN/Si HEMTs where the temperature rise is higher than in GaN/SiC. The model is especially useful for device and monolithic microwave integrated circuit designers in the thermal assessment of their device design iterations against required performance for their specific applications.

AB - In this paper, a novel framework of sparse kernel learning for support vector data description (SVDD) based anomaly detection is presented. By introducing 0-1 control variables to original features in the input space, sparse feature selection for anomaly detection is modeled as a mixed integer programming problem. Due to the prohibitively high computational complexity, it is relaxed into a quadratically constrained linear programming (QCLP) problem. The QCLP problem can then be practically solved by using an iterative optimization method, in which multiple subsets of features are iteratively found as opposed to a single subset. However, when a nonlinear kernel such as Gaussian radial basis function kernel, associated with an infinite-dimensional reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) is used in the QCLP-based iterative optimization, it is impractical to find optimal subsets of features due to a large number of possible combinations of the original features. To tackle this issue, a feature map called the empirical kernel map, which maps data points in the input space into a finite space called the empirical kernel feature space (EKFS), is used in the proposed work. The QCLP-based iterative optimization problem is solved in the EKFS instead of in the input space or the RKHS. This is possible because the geometrical properties of the EKFS and the corresponding RKHS remain the same. Now, an explicit nonlinear exploitation of the data in a finite EKFS is achievable, which results in optimal feature ranking. Comprehensive experimental results on three hyperspectral images and several machine learning datasets show that our proposed method can provide improved performance over the current state-of-the-art techniques.

AB - A fundamental challenge for system engineers is to capture a problem with an effective model or framework and then facilitate transferring the information of that captured problem to practical systems engineering tools and methods. The early problem definition phase requires an application of systems thinking with adequate modeling tools and methods. Then, the later problem definition phase and early system architecting phase requires transferring the captured problem to systems engineering tools and methods through emerging techniques such as model-based systems engineering (MBSE) using SysML (MBSE is the practice of using a modeling tools to capture systems engineering diagrams). This paper presents a method for capturing a problem through systemigrams and the Boardman soft systems methodology and then directly translating the systemigrams into SysML diagrams. With MBSE increasing in usage, this method could provide a time savings opportunity during model development along with the possibility of lowering information distortion or loss that can occur during transformation of systems thinking to systems engineering activities. This paper includes a case study which demonstrates how the proposed approach was applied on a problem being considered by the U.S. Army—Contingency Basing for Small Combat Units. Finally, this paper will provide the conclusion on the development of the method and describe future research directions that can allow systems thinking and MBSE to function in a congruent methodology.

AB - Refractory metal liners have been shown to extend the service life of gun tubes a considerable amount. The major technical hurdle to date has been keeping the liners in place during firing. To address this problem, composite gun tubes made of steel and pure niobium have been fabricated through a combination of the GLEEM (gun liner emplacement with an elastomeric material) and the hammer forging. The three barrels made by this approach were test fired in single-shot and burst-fire mode. One of the barrels whose liner had been cold-sprayed with tungsten carbide particles before the GLEEM process showed no liner movement in any of the tests. The success of this new liner processing technology to prevent liner movement offers the potential for further investigations of refractory metals that are more suitable as liner materials.

AB - After 9/11 the United States has a significant disconnect between its strategic and tactical efforts against violent global jihadists. Some American leaders and commanders are confusing effectiveness and success, improperly associating tactical disruption of enemy elements with strategic effect. While the country has won some important tactical victories, it is not clear that they are amounting to a strategic impact, or that the gains will last. The situation is complex, with various dynamics influencing America's prosecution of the Long War and its ability to be successful in the long term. This article looks at what those factors are and provides policy makers with tangible recommendations that, if implemented, will place America's counterterrorism efforts on a more strategic trajectory and hold greater promise of lasting impact.

AB - Following Hugo Grotius, a distinction is developed between private and public war. It is argued that, contrary to how most contemporary critics of the moral equality of combatants construe it, the just war tradition has defended the possibility of the moral equality of combatants as an entailment of the justifiability of public war. It is shown that contemporary critics of the moral equality of combatants are denying the possibility of public war and, in most cases, offering a conception of just war as exclusively private war. The work of Jeff McMahan is used to exemplify this. Against these contemporary critics, it is argued that the reasons McMahan and others offer against the possibility of the moral equality of combatants undermine not only public war but also the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority. The conclusion is drawn that defenders of the moral equality of combatants must defend the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority over war while critics of the moral equality of combatants must either (1) reject the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority altogether, or, less radically, (2) deny the possibility of fully realized and effective political authority over war.

AB - Benefit finding and unit leadership have been identified as buffers against the negative effects of combat exposure on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. However, little is known about how these different buffers work together to protect military personnel from the negative effects of combat. We examined benefit finding and leadership as buffers of the combat–PTSD symptoms link in a sample of recently returned combat veterans (N = 583). Results revealed that when higher levels of noncommissioned officer (NCO) leadership and benefit finding (BF) were reported, fewer PTSD symptoms were endorsed. Additionally, BF buffered the relationship between combat stress and PTSD symptoms, but only under conditions of supportive officer leadership. Implications of these findings for military settings are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Objective: Determine if a higher level of Army flight medic (AFM) training was associated with improved physiological state on arrival to a combat support hospital (CSH). Methods: A retrospective study comparing casualties who were evacuated by two AFM units with only Emergency Medical Technicians-Basic (EMT-Bs) to an Army National Guard unit with Critical Care Flight Paramedics (CCFPs) in Afghanistan with an injury severity score >16 in different time periods looking at their 48-hour mortality, hematocrit (HCT), base deficit (BD), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and physiological parameters on arrival to the CSH. Results: The CCFP group had better HCT [36.5 (8.8)] than the EMT-B group [33.1 (11.4); p ≤ 0.001]. BD and SpO2 were better in the CCFP group [-3.2 (4.7)]/[97.8 (4.8)] than the EMT-B group [-4.4 (5.5)]/[96.3 (10.9)] [p ≤ 0.014]. The CCFP group had a 72% lower estimated risk ratio of mortality with an associated improvement in 48-hour survivability of 4.9% versus 15.8% for the EMT-B-group. Conclusions: There is a statistically significant improvement in the HCT, BD, SpO2,and 48-hour survivability at the CSH in the cohort transported by the CCFP group when compared to the cohort transported by the EMT-B group.

AB - Previous studies have not reported activities associated with injuries in initial entry training (IET) because these data were seldom available in medical records and not contained in electronic databases. This investigation obtained activities associated with outpatient encounters in IET recorded by primary medical care providers at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Data were entered into a standard database that included fields for diagnosis and activity associated with the injury. Fifty percent of the new injury encounters (i.e., exclusive of follow-ups) were not associated with a specific event but were reported as having a gradual onset. Other activities included physical training (16%), road marching (15%), confidence/obstacle courses (5%), and barracks activities (3%). Risks per unit of training time were estimated at 13, 62, and 97 injuries per hour for physical training, road marching, and the confidence/obstacle courses, respectively. The most frequently recorded diagnoses were joint pain (27%), strains (15%), blisters (14%), sprains (13%), and tendonitis (12%). The types of injuries and their anatomical locations were similar to those reported in other IET investigations, although blister-related encounters were higher. This investigation identifies activities with the highest risk of injury in IET and those that should be targeted for injury prevention efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article describes the medical planning process whereby combat stress and mental health clinicians were placed at Forward Operating Bases in southern and western Afghanistan during a period of intensive surge operations in 2009-2010. The distribution plan for the Combat Stress Control teams was based on previously published guidance on ratios of combat stress personnel to troop end-strength, population at-risk data, and kinetic activity associated with current and future combat operations. The article concludes with outcome data that validates the distribution decisions made through the planning process. Through dissemination of this information, it is hoped that future planners and clinicians can improve the processes involved in providing combat stress and mental health services to forward-deployed troops.

AB - This pilot evaluated a novel method of primary care delivery in a military family practice setting. A registered nurse, registered nurse case manager, and primary care provider formed the patient management team. Approximately 2,500 empanelled patients participated in a pilot program that applied a patient-centered approach to primary care. The pilot tracked outcome measures, which included (1) panel size, (2) access to care, (3) care utilization, (4) continuity of care, (5) nurse and provider productivity, (6) Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set measures, and (7) satisfaction measures. When compared to the standard family practice clinic, the patients in the pilot were able to access the family practice clinic more frequently (p < 0.05), were less seen in the urgent care (p < 0.05), and had a lower no-show rate (p < 0.001) for scheduled appointments. The providers were able to see their own empanelled patients significantly more frequently (p < 0.05) and virtually all Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set markers improved with colon cancer screening, low-density lipoprotein annual exams, low-density lipoprotein control, and breast cancer screening/mammogram being significantly improved over the comparison group (p < 0.05). These results suggest a change in staffing and a focus on patient-centered care can significantly improve outpatient care access and population health maintenance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Two newly designed formulations of stick camouflage face paint, one with 30% iV,iV-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) and the other without DEET, were evaluated for acceptability among soldiers upon completion of normal military field training exercises. A total of 156 soldiers participated and completed a self-administered survey answering questions about product acceptability, packaging, and ease of use. Results of the study indicated that soldiers found stick formulations, with and without DEET, to be acceptable for use (62.9% and 83.7%, respectively). This data will be used by the Program Management Office at the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity to support a request to the Armed Forces Pest Management Board to assign a National Stock Number.

AB - Current scholarship on the feud between American generals John J. Pershing and Peyton C. March during the First World War has generally argued that the dispute was overly exaggerated by contemporaries, with most of the conflict developing in the postwar era. The present study challenges this interpretation, arguing that the wartime conflict between March and Pershing was more severe than previously thought, and was founded upon the lack of a clearly defined command structure within the American Army as opposed to a collision of strong personalities.

AB - Waging the War of American Independence (1775-83) required massive numbers of troops, weapons, and supplies in quantities most states could not readily provide. Meeting these needs were persistent challenges for the nascent state governments, all of which lacked a financial foundation, manufacturing base, and logistical network to sustain a concerted war effort. North Carolina was particularly beset by these challenges, which led state officials to adopt two of the most burdensome intrusions into the wartime routines of Carolinians: impressment and conscription. Both of these expedients produced antipathy and resistance to Patriot authorities, undermined support for the new state, and added to the disorders within the state during most of the war years.

N2 - Gray water can be a valuable source of water when properly treated to reduce the risks associated with chemical and microbial contamination to acceptable levels for the intended reuse application. In this study, the treatment of gray water using low pressure reverse osmosis (RO) filtration after pre-filtration and aerobic biological filtration pretreatment was explored. Initially, nine commercial RO membranes were compared with dead end filtration tests for water flux and salt rejection at low pressures of operation (100-400 psi). Based on the dead end filtration results, one commercially-available membrane was subjected to further evaluation using a cross flow flat sheet test unit and gray water that had undergone various levels of pretreatment. The effects of gray water pretreatment with cartridge filtration, microfiltration, and aerobic biofiltration were compared in terms of membrane flux, chemical oxygen demand reduction, and salt rejection. Results from these RO filtration tests suggest that cartridge filtration in combination with RO treatment can achieve adequate reduction of gray water chemical oxygen demand (COD), but at the cost of progressively decreasing water flux through the RO membrane. Flux decline during cartridge filtration is mainly attributed to the presence of colloids >0.2 µm in size. In comparison, microfiltration maintains the water permeation capacity of the membrane, but permeate COD levels are higher. Biofiltered/microfiltered gray water shows RO permeate flux similar to microfiltered gray water and achieves permeate COD levels similar to cartridge filtered gray water.

N2 - Reducing mosquito populations indoors and outdoors can have a significant impact on malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. A new formulation and delivery system for Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) was tested against adult mosquitoes. One Entobac bait with 7% Bti in a honey solution was placed within each ProVector Flower applicator. The applicators were placed in nine housing compounds, one on the outside of each home in Ahero and Nyalenda, Kenya, in June 2009. Seven housing compounds with no applicators were included as controls in the study area. After 1 mo, there was a significant reduction of mosquitoes in all nine compounds with the ProVector Flower compared to two of the seven control compounds. The overall mosquito population was reduced by 69% in housing compounds with the ProVector Flower whereas the mosquito population grew by nearly 15% in the control compounds. There was a significant reduction of the median number of mosquitoes in the test compounds than in the control compounds. The proportion of mosquitoes collected was significantly reduced in the test compounds within 1 mo for several species of Aedes, Anopheles, Coquillettidia, Culex, and Mansonia. This study provides evidence that Bti-laced bait may be used as an alternative adulticide and be delivered in an applicator to reduce mosquito populations of several species. This method may significantly reduce the cost of pesticide application through target specificity and by reducing the amount of pesticide placed into the environment.

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

N2 - Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are being incorporated into a variety of consumer products due to unique properties that offer a variety of advantages over bulk materials. Understanding of the nano-specific risk associated with nano-enabled technologies, however, continues to lag behind research and development, registration with regulators, and commercialization. One example of a nano-enabled technology is nanosilver ink, which can be used in commercial ink-jet printers for the development of low-cost printable electronics. This investigation utilizes a tiered EHS framework to evaluate the potential nano-specific release, exposure and hazard associated with typical use of both nanosilver ink and printed circuits. The framework guides determination of the potential for ENM release from both forms of the technology in simulated use scenarios, including spilling of the ink, aqueous release (washing) from the circuits and UV light exposure. The as-supplied ink merits nano-specific consideration based on the presence of nanoparticles and their persistence in environmentally-relevant media. The material released from the printed circuits upon aqueous exposure was characterized by a number of analysis techniques, including ultracentrifugation and single particle ICP-MS, and the results suggest that a vast majority of the material was ionic in nature and nano-specific regulatory scrutiny may be less relevant.

N2 - Introduction: Musculoskeletal low back pain (LBP) is commonly treated symptomatically, with practice guidelines advocating reserving surgery for cases that fail conservative care. This study examined medical comorbidities and demographic variables as risk factors for chronic/recurrent LBP, spinal surgery, and time to surgery. Methods: A 2015 retrospective cohort study was conducted in U.S. Army soldiers (N=1,092,420) from 2002 to 2011. Soldiers with medical encounters for LBP were identified using ICD-9 codes. Surgical treatment for LBP was identified according to Current Procedural Terminology codes. Comorbid medical conditions (psychological disorders, sleep disorders, tobacco use, alcohol use, obesity) and demographic variables were examined as risk factors for chronic/recurrent LBP within 1 year of the incident encounter, surgery for LBP, and time to surgery. Results: Of 383,586 patients with incident LBP, 104,169 (27%) were treated for chronic/recurrent LBP and 7,446 (1.9%) had surgery. Comorbid variables showed increased risk of chronic/recurrent LBP ranging from 26% to 52%. Tobacco use increased risk for surgery by 33% (risk ratio, 1.33; 95% CI=1.24, 1.44). Comorbid variables showed 10%-42% shorter time to surgery (psychological disorders, time ratio [TR]=0.90, 95% CI=0.83, 0.98; sleep disorders, TR=0.68, 95% CI=0.60, 0.78; obesity, TR=0.88, 95% CI=0.79, 0.98; tobacco use, TR=0.58, 95% CI=0.54, 0.63; alcohol use, TR=0.85, 95% CI=0.70, 1.05). Women showed 20% increased risk of chronic/recurrent LBP than men but 42% less risk of surgery. Conclusions: In the presence of comorbidities associated with mental health, sleep, obesity, tobacco use, and alcohol use, LBP shows increased risk of becoming chronic/recurrent and faster time to surgery.

N2 - The Department of Defense (DoD) is developing a new category of insensitive munitions (IMs) that are more resistant to detonation or promulgation from external stimuli than traditional munition formulations. The new explosive constituent compounds are 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), nitroguanidine (NQ), and nitrotriazolone (NTO). The production and use of IM formulations may result in interaction of IM component compounds with soil. The chemical properties of these IM compounds present unique challenges for extraction from environmental matrices such as soil. A two-stage extraction procedure was developed and tested using several soil types amended with known concentrations of IM compounds. This procedure incorporates both an acidified phase and an organic phase to account for the chemical properties of the IM compounds. The method detection limits (MDLs) for all IM compounds in all soil types were <5 mg/kg and met non-regulatory risk-based Regional Screening Level (RSL) criteria for soil proposed by the U.S. Army Public Health Center. At defined environmentally relevant concentrations, the average recovery of each IM compound in each soil type was consistent and greater than 85%. The two-stage extraction method decreased the influence of soil composition on IM compound recovery. UV analysis of NTO established an isosbestic point based on varied pH at a detection wavelength of 341 nm. The two-stage soil extraction method is equally effective for traditional munition compounds, a potentially important point when examining soils exposed to both traditional and insensitive munitions.

N2 - Background: Burkholderia mallei and B. pseudomallei are the causative agents of glanders and melioidosis, respectively, diseases with high morbidity and mortality rates. B. mallei and B. pseudomallei are closely related genetically; B. mallei evolved from an ancestral strain of B. pseudomallei by genome reduction and adaptation to an obligate intracellular lifestyle. Although these two bacteria cause different diseases, they share multiple virulence factors, including bacterial secretion systems, which represent key components of bacterial pathogenicity. Despite recent progress, the secretion system proteins for B. mallei and B. pseudomallei, their pathogenic mechanisms of action, and host factors are not well characterized. Results: We previously developed a manually curated database, DBSecSys, of bacterial secretion system proteins for B. mallei. Here, we report an expansion of the database with corresponding information about B. pseudomallei. DBSecSys 2.0 contains comprehensive literature-based and computationally derived information about B. mallei ATCC 23344 and literature-based and computationally derived information about B. pseudomallei K96243. The database contains updated information for 163 B. mallei proteins from the previous database and 61 additional B. mallei proteins, and new information for 281 B. pseudomallei proteins associated with 5 secretion systems, their 1,633 human- and murine-interacting targets, and 2,400 host-B. mallei interactions and 2,286 host-B. pseudomallei interactions. The database also includes information about 13 pathogenic mechanisms of action for B. mallei and B. pseudomallei secretion system proteins inferred from the available literature or computationally. Additionally, DBSecSys 2.0 provides details about 82 virulence attenuation experiments for 52 B. mallei secretion system proteins and 98 virulence attenuation experiments for 61 B. pseudomallei secretion system proteins. We updated the Web interface and data access layer to speed-up users' search of detailed information for orthologous proteins related to secretion systems of the two pathogens. Conclusions: The updates of DBSecSys 2.0 provide unique capabilities to access comprehensive information about secretion systems of B. mallei and B. pseudomallei. They enable studies and comparisons of corresponding proteins of these two closely related pathogens and their host-interacting partners.

N2 - Potable water is essential to maintain health and sustain military operations, but carrying and transporting water is a major logistical burden. Planning for group drinking water needs is complex, requiring understanding of sweat losses on the basis of intensity of activity, clothing biophysical parameters, and environmental conditions. Use of existing prediction equations is limited to tabled doctrine (e.g., Technical Bulletin, Medical 507) or to individuals with extensive expertise in thermal biophysics. In the present project, we translated the latest updated equations into a user-friendly Android application (Soldier Water Estimation Tool, SWET) that provides estimated drinking water required from 5 simple inputs based upon a detailed multiparametric sensitivity analysis. Users select from multiple choice inputs for activity level, clothing, and cloud cover, and manually enter exact values for temperature and relative humidity. Total drinking water needs for a unit are estimated in the Mission Planner tool on the basis of mission duration and number of personnel. In preliminary user acceptability testing, responses were overall positive in terms of ease of use and military relevance. Use of SWET for water planning will minimize excessive load (water) carriage in training and mission settings, and will reduce the potential for dehydration and/or hyponatremia to impair Warfighter health and performance.

N2 - RNA viruses exhibit a variety of genome organization strategies, including multicomponent genomes in which each segment is packaged separately. Although multicomponent genomes are common among viruses infecting plants and fungi, their prevalence among those infecting animals remains unclear. We characterize a multicomponent RNA virus isolated from mosquitoes, designated Guaico Culex virus (GCXV). GCXV belongs to a diverse clade of segmented viruses (Jingmenvirus) related to the prototypically unsegmented Flaviviridae. The GCXV genome comprises five segments, each of which appears to be separately packaged. The smallest segment is not required for replication, and its presence is variable in natural infections. We also describe a variant of Jingmen tick virus, another Jingmenvirus, sequenced from a Ugandan red colobus monkey, thus expanding the host range of this segmented and likely multicomponent virus group. Collectively, this study provides evidence for the existence of multicomponent animal viruses and their potential relevance for animal and human health.

N2 - This work analyzes the high-pressure (HP) germination of spores of the food-borne pathogen Clostridium perfringens (with inner membrane [IM] germinant receptors [GRs]) and the opportunistic pathogen Clostridium difficile (with no IM GRs), which has growing implications as an emerging food safety threat. In contrast to those of spores of Bacillus species, mechanisms of HP germination of clostridial spores have not been well studied. HP treatments trigger Bacillus spore germination through spores' IM GRs at ~150 MPa or through SpoVA channels for release of spores' dipicolinic acid (DPA) at ≥400 MPa, and DPA-less spores have lower wet heat resistance than dormant spores. We found that C. difficile spores exhibited no germination events upon 150-MPa treatment and were not heat sensitized. In contrast, 150-MPa-treated unactivated C. perfringens spores released DPA and became heat sensitive, although most spores did not complete germination by fully rehydrating the spore core, but this treatment of heat-activated spores led to almost complete germination and greater heat sensitization. Spores of both clostridial organisms released DPA during 550-MPa treatment, but C. difficile spores did not complete germination and remained heat resistant. Heat-activated 550-MPa-HP-treated C. perfringens spores germinated almost completely and became heat sensitive. However, unactivated 550-MPa-treated C. perfringens spores did not germinate completely and were less heat sensitive than spores that completed germination. Since C. difficile and C. perfringens spores use different mechanisms for sensing germinants, our results may allow refinement of HP methods for their inactivation in foods and other applications and may guide the development of commercially sterile low-acid foods.

N2 - Tick-borne disease surveillance was conducted monthly at different sites in four southwestern provinces of the Republic of Korea (ROK) from April-October 2013. Three general habitats were surveyed: grasses (grasses and herbaceous and crawling vegetation), forests (pine, larch, deciduous, and mixed), and forests+grasses. A total of 27,029 ticks (1,534 adults; 11,755 nymphs; 13,740 larvae) belonging to three genera and five species were collected. Haemaphysalis longicornis (64.76%; 17,504) was the most commonly collected tick, followed by Haemaphysalis flava (29.22%; 7,899), Ixodes nipponensis (5.83%; 1,575), Amblyomma testudinarium (0.17%; 46), and Haemaphysalis phasiana (0.02%; 5). Overall, adult ticks accounted for only 5.68% of all ticks collected, while nymphs and larvae accounted for 43.49% and 50.83%, respectively. Haemaphysalis longicornis nymphs were commonly collected from April-June, followed by increased numbers of adults from June-August, and large numbers of larvae from August-September, while low numbers of all stages were collected during October. Haemaphysalis flava adults and nymphs were commonly collected from April-June and September-October, while large numbers of larvae were collected from July-August. Although fewer I. nipponensis were collected, seasonal developmental stage patterns followed those of H. flava. Similar proportions of males (47.96%) and females (52.04%) of H. flava were collected. However, the proportion of H. longicornis females (85.83%) collected was significantly higher than for males (14.17%), while the proportion of I. nipponensis males (57.62%) was significantly higher than for females (42.38%). Overall, the mean number of ticks collected/hour of collection was highest for forests+grasses (108.54), followed by grasses (97.28) and forests (66.64).

N2 - Background: The malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum undergoes a complex life cycle, including an intraerythrocytic developmental cycle, during which it is metabolically dependent on the infected human red blood cell (RBC). To describe whole cell metabolic activity within both P. falciparum and RBCs during the asexual reproduction phase of the intraerythrocytic developmental cycle, we developed an integrated host-parasite metabolic modeling framework driven by time-dependent gene expression data. Results: We validated the model by reproducing the experimentally determined (1) stage-specific production of biomass components and their precursors in the parasite and (2) metabolite concentration changes in the medium of P. falciparum-infected RBC cultures. The model allowed us to explore time- and strain-dependent P. falciparum metabolism and hypothesize how host cell metabolism alters in response to malarial infection. Specifically, the metabolic analysis showed that uninfected RBCs that coexist with infected cells in the same culture decrease their production of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, an oxygen-carrying regulator, reducing the ability of hemoglobin in these cells to release oxygen. Furthermore, in response to parasite-induced oxidative stress, infected RBCs downgraded their glycolytic flux by using the pentose phosphate pathway and secreting ribulose-5-phosphate. This mechanism links individually observed experimental phenomena, such as glycolytic inhibition and ribulose-5-phosphate secretion, to the oxidative stress response. Conclusions: Although the metabolic model does not incorporate regulatory mechanisms per se, alterations in gene expression levels caused by regulatory mechanisms are manifested in the model as altered metabolic states. This provides the model the capability to capture complex multicellular host-pathogen metabolic interactions of the infected RBC culture. The system-level analysis revealed complex relationships such as how the parasite can reduce oxygen release in uninfected cells in the presence of infected RBCs as well as the role of different metabolic pathways involved in the oxidative stress response of infected RBCs.

N2 - Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) and nerve agents (NAs) are highly toxic chemicals that pose a significant threat to human health worldwide. These compounds induce status epilepticus (SE) by irreversibly blocking the ability of acetylcholinesterase to break down acetylcholine at neural synapses. Animal models of organophosphate-induced SE are a crucial resource for identifying new anticonvulsant therapies. Here, we describe the development of various animal models of SE induced by NA or OP exposure. Experiments in nonhuman primates, rats, mice, and guinea pigs have helped to identify novel therapeutic targets in the central nervous system, with particular success at modulating GABAergic and glutamatergic receptors. The anticonvulsants identified by NA- and OP-induced SE models are well poised for fast advancement into clinical development, and their potential utility in the broader field of epilepsy should make them all the more attractive for commercial pursuit.

N2 - U.S. military personnel deployed to high-risk areas receive the live vaccinia virus (VACV) smallpox vaccine ACAM2000. VACV shedding from the vaccination site can result in autoinoculation and contact transmission. We previously found that the application of povidone iodine ointment (PIO) to the scarification site reduced viral shedding without altering the antibody response, as measured by plaque reduction neutralization or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. In this study, we used protein microarray assays to measure the amount of immunoglobulin G antibody bound to (1) ACAM2000 itself and (2) individual VACV antigens that are present within ACAM2000. We assessed antibody binding in sera from primary smallpox vaccinees who applied PIO to the scarification site beginning on day 7 (PIO group) and from those who did not apply PIO (control group). In both cohorts, the postvaccination antibody response - in terms of antibody binding, both to ACAM2000 and to 11 individual VACV antigens - was significantly greater than the prevaccination response (all p<0.0001). The postvaccination antibody binding levels of vaccinees in the PIO group did not differ from those of control vaccinees. These findings further support the topical application of PIO, starting on day 7, to reduce the viral shedding associated with smallpox vaccination.

N2 - The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between individual weight status and intuitive eating or motivation for eating characteristics. Participants were predominantly white (57%), Army (91%), enlisted (72%), males (71%), with a mean age of 30±9 years and mean body mass index (BMI) of 27.0±4.2 kg/m2. The cross-sectional, descriptive study included active duty service members (n=295) recruited from Texas and Washington. Validated Motivation for Eating Scale (MFES) and Intuitive Eating Scale were administered and BMI (m/kg2) was dichotomized at <25 or ≥25 kg/m2. Descriptive, correlation, t-test, and logistic regression analysis were conducted for BMI category with demographic, lifestyle, and MFES/Intuitive Eating Scale scores (α=0.05; 80% power). Thirty-six percent were normal BMI (22.7±1.6 kg/m2) and 64% were overweight/obese BMI (29.3±3.3 kg/m2). Mean BMI was 27.8±4.2 kg/m2 (males) and 24.8±3.4 kg/m2 (females) (p<0.001). Physical MFES type was predominant (77% normal BMI vs. 66% overweight; p=0.001). Males ate for physical rather than emotional reasons (p=0.014). Each 1-point increase in Reliance on Internal Hunger Satiety Score was associated with 34% lower odds of being overweight. Disparity existed between sex and intuitive eating characteristic. Increasing awareness of eating influences may improve weight-related dietary behaviors.

N2 - Background: Recent vaccine studies have shown that the magnitude of an antibody response is often insufficient to explain efficacy, suggesting that characteristics regarding the quality of the antibody response, such as its fine specificity and functional activity, may play a major role in protection. Previous studies of the lead malaria vaccine candidate, RTS,S, have shown that circumsporozoite protein (CSP)-specific antibodies and CD4+ T cell responses are associated with protection, however the role of fine specificity and biological function of CSP-specific antibodies remains to be elucidated. Here, the relationship between fine specificity, opsonization-dependent phagocytic activity and protection in RTS,S-induced antibodies is explored. Methods: A new method for measuring the phagocytic activity mediated by CSP-specific antibodies in THP-1 cells is presented and applied to samples from a recently completed phase 2 RTS,S/AS01 clinical trial. The fine specificity of the antibody response was assessed using ELISA against three antigen constructs of CSP: the central repeat region, the C-terminal domain and the full-length protein. A multi-parameter analysis of phagocytic activity and fine-specificity data was carried out to identify potential correlates of protection in RTS,S. Results: Results from the newly developed assay revealed that serum samples from RTS,S recipients displayed a wide range of robust and repeatable phagocytic activity. Phagocytic activity was correlated with full-length CSP and C-terminal specific antibody titres, but not to repeat region antibody titres, suggesting that phagocytic activity is primarily driven by C-terminal antibodies. Although no significant difference in overall phagocytic activity was observed with respect to protection, phagocytic activity expressed as 'opsonization index', a relative measure that normalizes phagocytic activity with CS antibody titres, was found to be significantly lower in protected subjects than non-protected subjects. Conclusions: Opsonization index was identified as a surrogate marker of protection induced by the RTS,S/AS01 vaccine and determined how antibody fine specificity is linked to opsonization activity. These findings suggest that the role of opsonization in protection in the RTS,S vaccine may be more complex than previously thought, and demonstrate how integrating multiple immune measures can provide insight into underlying mechanisms of immunity and protection.

N2 - Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG) in western Arizona is a testing range where Depleted uranium (DU) penetrators have been historically fired. A portion of the fired DU penetrators are being managed under controlled conditions by leaving them in place. The widespread use of DU in armor-penetrating weapons has raised environmental and human health concerns. The present study is focused on the onsite management approach and on the potential interactions with plants local to YPG. A 30 day study was conducted to assess the toxicity of DU corrosion products (e.g., schoepite and meta-schoepite) in two grass species that are native to YPG, Bermuda (Cynodon dactylon) and Purple threeawn (Aristida purpurea). In addition, the ability for plants to uptake DU was studied. The results of this study show a much lower threshold for biomass toxicity and higher plant concentrations, particularly in the roots than shoots, compared to previous studies.

N2 - Introduction: Little data exist regarding the long-term impact of excess weight on lower extremity musculoskeletal injury/disorder (MID) in U.S. Army Soldiers. This prospective analysis examines the association between BMI of Soldiers at accession and risk of MID. Methods: A total of 736,608 Soldiers were followed from accession into the Army, 2001-2011. Data were analyzed January through March 2015. MID was categorized as any first incident lower extremity musculoskeletal injury/disorder, and secondarily, as first incident injury/disorder at a specific site (i.e., hips, upper legs/thighs, knees, lower legs/ankles, feet/toes). Multivariable-adjusted proportional hazards models estimated associations between BMI category at accession and MID risk. Results: During 15,678,743 person-months of follow-up, 411,413 cases of any first MID were documented (70,578 hip, 77,050 upper leg, 162,041 knee, 338,080 lower leg, and 100,935 foot injuries in secondary analyses). The overall MID rate was 2.62 per 100 person-months. Relative to Soldiers with normal BMI (18.5 to <25 kg/m2) at accession, those who were underweight (<18.5); overweight (25 to <30); or obese (≥30) had 7%, 11%, and 33% higher risk of MID, respectively, after adjustment. Risks were highest in Soldiers who were obese at accession, and lowest in those with a BMI of 21-23 kg/m2. Conclusions: Soldier BMI at accession has important implications for MID. A BMI of 21-23 kg/m2 in newly accessing Soldiers was associated with the lowest risk of incident MID, suggesting that accession be limited to people within this range to reduce overall incidence of MID among service personnel.

N2 - Emerging and re-emerging arboviruses continue to be a threat to global public health, and viral surveillance of mosquito populations is critical for mosquito control operations. Due to the tropical climate of many of the affected areas, it may be difficult to maintain a cold chain as the samples travel from collection sites to laboratories for testing. We determined how suboptimal holding temperatures affected the ability to detect viruses in pools of mosquitoes. Adult female Aedes albopictus and Ae. taeniorhynchus individuals were inoculated with chikungunya virus or Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus suspensions, respectively, and placed at 26°C for 8 days. One infected mosquito was then added to a vial of 24 negative mosquitoes and held at-80°C, -20°C, 4°C, 22°C, or 35°C for up to 14 days. Mosquito pools were analyzed for both infectious virus by plaque assay and for viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) with reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). At higher temperatures, the amount of infectious virus decreased rapidly, but viruses in samples held at 4°C or lower remained relatively stable. In contrast, viral RNA was detectable from pools held at all temperatures and holding times by RT-qPCR. Cycle threshold (Ct) values increased as temperatures and holding times increased. These findings suggest that if viral RNA detection is the goal of surveillance efforts, then mosquito pools do not require storage at ≤4°C. This enhances the feasibility of field-based arbovirus surveillance programs in which maintaining a cold chain may not be a possibility.

N2 - The malaria SYBR green assay, which is used to profile in vitro drug susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum, is a reliable drug screening and surveillance tool. Malaria field surveillance efforts provide isolates with various low levels of parasitemia. To be advantageous, malaria drug sensitivity assays should perform reproducibly among various starting parasitemia levels rather than at one fixed initial value. We examined the SYBR green assay standardized procedure developed by the Worldwide Antimalarial Resistance Network (WWARN) for its sensitivity and ability to accurately determine the drug concentration that inhibits parasite growth by 50% (IC50) in samples with a range of initial parasitemia levels. The initial sensitivity determination of the WWARN procedure yielded a detection limit of 0.019% parasitemia. P. falciparum laboratory strains and field isolates with various levels of initial parasitemia were then subjected to a range of doses of common antimalarials. The IC50s were comparable for laboratory strains with between 0.0375% and 0.6% parasitemia and for field isolates with between 0.075% and 0.6% parasitemia for all drugs tested. Furthermore, assay quality (Z′) analysis indicated that the WWARN procedure displays high robustness, allowing for drug testing of malaria field samples within the derived range of initial parasitemia. The use of the WWARN procedure should allow for the inclusion of more malaria field samples in malaria drug sensitivity screens that would have otherwise been excluded due to low initial parasitemia levels.

N2 - Adequate fluid intake can be dually defined as a volume of fluid (from water, beverages, and food) sufficient to replace water losses and provide for solute excretion. A wide range of fluid intakes are compatible with euhydration, whereby total body water varies narrowly from day to day by 600 to 900 mL (<1% body mass). One measure of fluid intake adequacy involves enough fluid to prevent meaningful body water deficits outside this euhydration range (i.e., dehydration). Another measure of fluid intake adequacy involves enough fluid to balance the renal solute load, which can vary widely inside the euhydration range. The subtle but important distinction between the 2 types of adequacy may explain some of the ambiguity surrounding the efficacy of hydration status markers. Both perspectives of fluid intake adequacy are discussed in detail and a simple tool is reviewed that may help healthy, active, low-risk populations answer the question, "Am I drinking enough?".

N2 - Reported chlamydia infection rates among active duty U.S. Army females less than 25 years old declined by 20% from 2011 to 2014 (11,028 infections per 100,000 person-years [p-yrs] to 8,793 infections per 100,000 p-yrs, respectively). An overall decline in the proportions of high-risk female soldiers tested for chlamydia occurred during the same period, declining from a high of 85% in 2011 to a low of 71% in 2012, with an increase to 80% in 2014. Chlamydia laboratory testing volume also decreased from 2011 to 2013 but the test positivity rate remained stable at 6.0%-6.4%. By using projected incidence rates based on 100% of at-risk women being screened with a stable laboratory positivity rate, there was an estimated 15% decline in chlamydia incidence from 2011 to 2014 (12,794 to 10,991 infections per 100,000 p-yrs, respectively). Surveillance for chlamydia infections must include consideration of screening program performance in addition to passive reporting.

N2 - Our recent report of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine failure to treat Plasmodium falciparum infections in Cambodia adds new urgency to the search for alternative treatments. Despite dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine failure, and higher piperaquine 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) following reanalysis than those previously reported, P. falciparum remained sensitive to atovaquone (ATQ) in vitro. There were no point mutations in the P. falciparum cytochrome b ATQ resistance gene. Mefloquine, artemisinin, chloroquine, and quinine IC50s remained comparable to those from other recent reports. Atovaquone-proguanil may be a useful stopgap but remains susceptible to developing resistance when used as blood-stage therapy.

N2 - Nutrition is essential for maintaining peak health and performance of Warfighters. This review will focus on a series of nutrients of concern for female Warfighters. Biological function, dietary sources, and requirements will be reviewed, and recommendations for women in combat roles will be provided. Iron, essential for physical and cognitive performance, is critical for female Warfighters because of elevated dietary requirements as compared to male Warfighters, as well as declines in iron status that may occur in response to physical activities, such as military training. Calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone health, and should be considered in efforts to prevent stress fractures, which occur with greater frequency in female Warfighters as compared to their male counterparts. Folate, essential for the prevention of neural tube defects during pregnancy and gestation, is critical for female Warfighters because of elevated dietary requirements before pregnancy. Providing optimal levels of these nutrients will facilitate readiness as women prepare to serve in combat roles.

N2 - Phytonutrients have rapidly emerged as natural food chemicals possessing multifaceted biological actions that may support beneficial health outcomes. Among the vast array of phytonutrients currently being studied, sulforaphane, curcumin, quercetin, and resveratrol have been frequently reported to stimulate the expression of endogenous detoxification enzymes and may thereby facilitate the neutralization of otherwise harmful environmental agents. Some of these same phytonutrients, however, have also been implicated in disrupting normal cell proliferation and hence may possess toxic properties in and of themselves. In this study, we characterize the respective minimum threshold concentrations of the aforementioned phytonutrients in Hepa1c1c7 cells that stimulate NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), a key enzyme in the hepatic neutralization of menadione, other biological oxidants, and some environmental carcinogens. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that relatively low concentrations of either sulforaphane or curcumin significantly (P<.05) increase NQO1 protein expression and activity without triggering G2/M cell cycle arrest or mitotic catastrophe. The minimal quercetin concentration inducing NQO1, however, was 100-fold higher than that which disrupted mitosis. Also, while resveratrol modestly stimulated NQO1, the minimally effective resveratrol concentration concomitantly induced evidence of cellular apoptosis. Taken together, these findings indicate that only particular phytonutrients are likely efficacious in upregulating NQO1 activity without also leading to hepatic cytotoxicity.

AB - A SiC avalanche breakdown diode (ABD) having a nominal 1-kV breakdown voltage was fabricated to provide improved suppression of voltage transients induced during hard-switched turn-off of solid-state devices. Three SiC ABDs were pulsed 1000 times in an inductive load circuit at peak currents of over 100 A. Superior performance in peak pulse current, clamping voltage, and peak pulse power was seen, compared to the results of two series-connected commercial TVS devices, collectively having a comparable breakdown voltage. The transient thermal response of the SiC ABDs was calculated using a model for energy dissipation in short pulses. SiC ABD design parameters and test data were used to show that the reported performance of these devices was not related to package thermal impedance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - While videogames can easily be tailored to provide “adaptive training,” little research exists examining whether this benefit enhances training outcomes. The current study investigated three task difficulty manipulations and the moderating role of personality. Participants engaged in six 7-minute missions in a videogame-based training task. Openness to experience and neuroticism, but not conscientiousness, interacted with task difficulty condition such that trainees higher in these traits performed better over the course of training in the adaptive condition. These results suggest that adaptive training can result in the greatest performance improvement when the trainee's personality is suited to the instructional environment.

AB - This article assesses the overlap between academic research on adaptive training and how training is adapted in the Army. The literature review encompassed modes of adapting ranging from classroom research to experimental investigations. Army instructors were interviewed to determine how they adapted instruction and the factors that impacted adapting. Integrating these efforts showed that the modes of adapting found in the literature and modes common to the Army did not overlap greatly. Army courses and populations also differed substantially from those in the literature. The research needed to address the major gaps between the academic and Army settings is discussed.

AB - The U.S. military's operational and institutional training requirements continue to increase in scope and complexity; but training resources, including time, manpower, and money, are limited. Many of the solutions the military has proposed to meet these challenges depend heavily on adaptive training. The purpose of this special issue is to examine current trends in adaptive training, with a particular attention to the military environment. This article summarizes contemporary approaches and challenges to implementing adaptive training and provides an overview of the articles included in the special issue.

AB - The overarching goal was to develop a training aid that could address different skill levels across soldiers. A set of flashcards to train map-reading skill was developed that leveraged different types of information across skill levels. Two Initial Military Training companies completed grid-coordinate tests immediately following map-reading training and again 3 weeks later after using the training aid. The results indicated that there was differential benefit for the type of information in the training aid depending on the soldier's skill level and that the combined adaptive-training material improved performance across skill levels and not just within a given skill level.

AB - We examined the relative effectiveness of hardiness and grit as predictors of performance and retention among first year cadets at the USMA. Based on past research and theory, we expected that both hardiness and grit would predict unique variance in performance and retention even after controlling for past performance as measured by the Whole Candidate Score. Results of regression analyses revealed that hardiness and grit predicted unique variance in first year retention, but only hardiness predicted first year performance at USMA. These findings suggest that hardiness assessment and training may prove valuable in enhancing performance and retention within military training environments.

AB - This study sought to investigate what happens to trainee performance when an individual sets an unrealistically difficult performance goal early in training, which results in a large goal-performance discrepancy. Data from 185 trainees participating in a videogame-based training environment demonstrated that a single large discrepancy negatively impacts immediate subsequent training performance. Moreover, performance avoid goal orientation and self-efficacy were found to jointly moderate the impact of the discrepancy for both trainees' immediate subsequent performance and their rate of performance improvement across the training program. These findings highlight the importance of realistic goal-setting and trainee self-efficacy for optimizing videogame-based training success.

AB - The article discusses methods to measure the effectiveness of corporate intranet networks. While many corporations place a great deal of importance and invest a lot of time and money in their intranets, most do not have a reliable means of seeing how the intranets meet specific business needs, if they do at all. The authors state that companies need to move beyond usage statistics as a way of measuring effectiveness and develop tools to reveal the tangible impacts of intranets on business productivity.

AB - While combat exposures are considered principle stressors in developing mental health problems, research suggests social support can reduce this risk. Using data from 1,592 previously deployed soldiers, we found five classes of soldiers based on their patterns of responses to items measuring perceived stress. In subsequent analyses, we found increased combat exposure predicted membership in classes with greater combat-related stress, while greater unit cohesion predicted membership in classes with lower perceived stress. Also, greater willingness to report misconduct predicted greater unit cohesion. Results suggest that unit cohesion plays a vital role in the reduction of perceived stress among soldiers.

AB - Prevalence and risk factors associated with soldiers' suicides 2001-2009 (N = 874) were examined. Army suicide rates increased from 9 per 100,000 in 2001 to 22 per 100,000 in 2009. Soldier suicides were lower than civilians from 2001 to 2007, but higher than civilians after 2007. Army suicides were disproportionately higher for men, deployment experience, and a history of a mental health diagnosis/treatment; and lower for African Americans. Many involved planning (38%), communication (21%), alcohol (19%), or drugs (8%). Many had legal problems (31%), high stress loads (90%), a history of self-injury (10%), and other contributing factors prior to entry into the Army (31%). Implications for understanding suicide among military personnel are discussed.

AB - Purpose: To evaluate noise-induced hearing injury (NIHI) and blast-related comorbidities among U.S. Army soldiers in an effort to understand the morbidity burden and future health service requirements for wounded war fighters returning from the Central Command Area of Responsibility, predominantly from Iraq and Afghanistan deployments. Method: Inpatient and outpatient records with diagnosed NIHI or blast-related comorbidities (e.g., significant threshold shift [STS], noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss, eardrum perforations, mild traumatic brain injury, and posttraumatic stress disorder) were extracted for active duty soldiers returning from combat deployments. Records were limited to those within 6 months of the soldier's return date from April 2003 through June 2009. To account for changes in STS coding practice, STS rates observed after October 1, 2006, were used to extrapolate prior probable postdeployment STS. Results: Statistically significant increases were observed for tinnitus, dizziness, eardrum perforations, and speech-language disorders. The combination of observed and extrapolated STS yielded a conservative estimate of 27,427 cases. Conclusions: Estimates can be used to forecast resource requirements for hearing services among veterans. This article could serve as a guide for resourcing and innovating prevention measures and treatment in this population. Data provided may also serve as a baseline for evaluating prevention measures.

AB - Background Since 1985, one-third of all US all-terrain vehicle (ATV)-related injuries and one-quarter of deaths involved victims <16 years of age. ATV safety education of youth could help reduce these tragedies. Objectives To assess the efficacy of the Safety Tips for ATV Riders (STARs) school-based programme targeting adolescents. Methods A survey was anonymously administered before and after the programme to determine demographics, knowledge and reported likelihood of using the information learned. Results Over 4600 students in 30 Iowa schools participated from November 2010 to April 2013. Initially, 52% knew most ATVs are designed for one rider, 25% knew the recommended vehicle size for their age range and 42% knew riding on Iowa’s roads was legal only for agricultural purposes. After the programme, this increased to 92%, 82% and 76%, respectively (p<0.0001 in each case), with 61% of students correct on all three. Better preintervention scores were associated with being males, higher riding frequency and being from isolated rural communities. After the programme, 48% and 32% said they were likely/very likely versus unlikely/very unlikely to use the safety information learned, respectively; younger students, females and infrequent riders reported higher likelihoods. Conclusions STARs increased short-term ATV safety knowledge and almost half the participants reported they would use the safety information presented. Males and frequent riders seemed more resistant, but some groups that may be more vulnerable to potential ATV crash and injury appeared amenable to the training with higher increases in postprogramme scores and greater intention of improving safety behaviours.

AB - A common practice in sports science is to assess hydration status using the concentration of a single spot urine collection taken at any time of day for comparison against concentration (specific gravity, osmolality, color) thresholds established from first morning voids. There is strong evidence that this practice can be confounded by fluid intake, diet, and exercise, among other factors, leading to false positive/negative assessments. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to provide a simple explanation as to why this practice leads to erroneous conclusions and should be curtailed in favor of consensus hydration assessment recommendations.

AB - Understanding the nutritional demands on serving military personnel is critical to inform training schedules and dietary provision. Troops deployed to Afghanistan face austere living and working environments. Observations from the military and those reported in the British and US media indicated possible physical degradation of personnel deployed to Afghanistan. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the changes in body composition and nutritional status of military personnel deployed to Afghanistan and how these were related to physical fitness. In a cohort of British Royal Marines (n 249) deployed to Afghanistan for 6 months, body size and body composition were estimated from body mass, height, girth and skinfold measurements. Energy intake (EI) was estimated from food diaries and energy expenditure measured using the doubly labelled water method in a representative subgroup. Strength and aerobic fitness were assessed. The mean body mass of volunteers decreased over the first half of the deployment ( − 4·6 (sd 3·7) %), predominately reflecting fat loss. Body mass partially recovered (mean +2·2 (sd 2·9) %) between the mid- and post-deployment periods (P< 0·05). Daily EI (mean 10 590 (sd 3339) kJ) was significantly lower than the estimated daily energy expenditure (mean 15 167 (sd 1883) kJ) measured in a subgroup of volunteers. However, despite the body mass loss, aerobic fitness and strength were well maintained. Nutritional provision for British military personnel in Afghanistan appeared sufficient to maintain physical capability and micronutrient status, but providing appropriate nutrition in harsh operational environments must remain a priority.

AB - Effective management of contaminated sediments is important for long-term human and environmental health, but site-management decisions are often made under high uncertainty and without the help of structured decision support tools. Potential trade-offs between remedial costs, environmental effects, human health risks, and societal benefits, as well as fundamental differences in stakeholder priorities, complicate decision making. Formal decision-analytic tools such as multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) move beyond ad hoc decision support to quantitatively and holistically rank management alternatives and add transparency and replicability to the evaluation process. However, even the best decisions made under uncertainty may be found suboptimal in hindsight, once additional scientific, social, economic, or other details become known. Value of information (Vol) analysis extends MCDA by systematically evaluating the impact of uncertainty on a decision. Vol prioritizes future research in terms of expected decision relevance by helping decision makers estimate the likelihood that additional information will improve decision confidence or change their selection of a management plan. In this study, Vol analysis evaluates uncertainty, estimates decision confidence, and prioritizes research to inform selection of a sediment capping strategy for the dibenzo-p-dioxin and -furan contaminated Grenland fjord system in southern Norway. The Vol model extends stochastic MCDA to model decisions with and without simulated new information and compares decision confidence across scenarios with different degrees of remaining uncertainty. Results highlight opportunities for decision makers to benefit from additional information by anticipating the improved decision confidence (or lack thereof) expected from reducing uncertainties for each criterion or combination of criteria. This case study demonstrates the usefulness of Vol analysis for environmental decisions by predicting when decisions can be made confidently, for prioritizing areas of research to pursue to improve decision confidence, and for differentiating between decision-relevant and decision-irrelevant differences in evaluation perspectives, all of which help guide meaningful deliberation toward effective consensus solutions.

AB - The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a reef-forming organism commonly found in estuaries throughout the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America. Eastern oyster reefs provide several ecosystem services, including water filtration, habitat diversity, and storm surge protection, among others. Oyster abundance has declined precipitously during the past century along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts as a result of overfishing, disease and prédation, and large-scale human-mediated events. Given the importance of oysters, both ecologically and economically, there have been significant efforts during the past 20 y to reestablish and/or restore oysters to historical levels. Successful reef restoration depends on choosing sites that optimize survival, which requires an understanding of the environmental factors that influence the life stage of an oyster. For most restoration projects, time and budget constraints prevent long-term field studies; therefore, modeling is often used to determine the best locations for restoration. In this study, we developed a spatially explicit, flexible, 4-parameter habitat suitability index model that can be used to determine locations suitable for restoration of eastern oyster reefs throughout the western Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The model captures the minimum environmental parameters required for successful restoration suitability and was applied in 2 studies: (1) Chesapeake Bay, a data rich environment, and (2) northern Gulf of Mexico (western Mississippi Sound), a data poor environment. It illustrates the implications of using data of varying quality when applying the model for identifying restoration potential. In both locations, the model was most sensitive to the presence of appropriate substrate, but not as sensitive to salinity values. This model provides a scientifically based support tool for natural resource managers and project planners, and local conditions may require further consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A new primary standard method for calibrating optical particle counters (OPC) has been developed based on quantitative gravitational deposition on a silicon wafer and accurate counting of the particles by a wafer surface scanner (WSS). The test aerosol consists of 3-μm diameter monodisperse polystyrene latex (PSL) spheres at concentrations in the range of 0.1 cm−3to 1 cm−3. A key element to the calibration is the ability to generate monodisperse PSL spheres without residue particles by use of a virtual impactor and differential mobility analyzer. The use of these devices reduced the percentage of residue particles from more than 99.98% to about 5%. The expanded relative uncertainty (95% confidence level) in the number concentration determined with a WSS for a deposition of 200 particles is 17.8%. The major uncertainty component arises from the Poisson fluctuations in the aerosol concentration because of the low concentration. This methodology has advantages of a fast scanning time by the WSS of minutes compared to hours or days by microscopy and of counting every particle deposited compared to often only a small fraction via microscopy. The WSS was used in the calibration of an OPC based on 12 depositions with concentrations ranging from 0.1 cm−3to 1 cm−3for each deposition. Make-up air was added to the aerosol entering the OPC so that the lowest achievable concentration for the OPC measurement is about 0.01 cm−3in this study. The detection efficiency of the OPC was measured to be 0.984 with an expanded uncertainty of 13.4%. Copyright 2014 American Association for Aerosol Research [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Lassa virus spreads from a rodent to humans and can lead to lethal hemorrhagic fever. Despite its broad tropism, chicken cells were reported 30 years ago to resist infection. We found that Lassa virus readily engaged its cell-surface receptor α-dystroglycan in avian cells, but virus entry in susceptible species involved a pH-dependent switch to an intracellular receptor, the lysosome-resident protein LAMP1. Iterative haploid screens revealed that the sialyltransferase ST3GAL4 was required for the interaction of the virus glycoprotein with LAMP1. A single glycosylated residue in LAMP1, present in susceptible species but absent in birds, was essential for interaction with the Lassa virus envelope protein and subsequent infection. The resistance of Lamp1-deficient mice to Lassa virus highlights the relevance of this receptor switch in vivo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Bacillus subtilis spoVAEa and spoVAF genes are expressed in developing spores as members of the spoVA operon, which encodes proteins essential for the uptake and release of dipicolinic acid (DPA) during spore formation and germination. SpoVAF is likely an integral inner spore membrane protein and exhibits sequence identity to A subunits of the spore's nutrient germinant receptors (GRs), while SpoVAEa is a soluble protein with no obvious signals to allow its passage across a membrane. However, like SpoVAD, SpoVAEa is present on the outer surface of the spore's inner membrane, as SpoVAEa was accessible to an external biotinylation agent in spores and SpoVAEa disappeared in parallel with SpoVAD during proteinase K treatment of germinated spores. SpoVAEa and SpoVAD were also distributed similarly in fractions of disrupted dormant spores. Unlike spoVAD, spoVAEa is absent from the genomes of some spore-forming members of the Bacillales and Clostridiales orders, although Spo-VAEa's amino acid sequence is conserved in species containing spoVAEa. B. subtilis strains lacking SpoVAE or SpoVAEa and SpoVAE sporulated normally, and the spores had normal DPA levels. Spores lacking SpoVAE or SpoVAEa and SpoVAE also germinated normally with non-GR-dependent germinants but more slowly than wild-type spores with GR-dependent germinants, and this germination defect was complemented by ectopic expression of the missing proteins.

AB - The miniaturization of acoustic transmitters may allow greater flexibility in terms of the size and species of fish available to tag. New downsized injectable acoustic tags similar in shape to passive integrated transponder tags can be rapidly injected rather than surgically implanted through a sutured incision. Before wide-scale field use of these injectable transmitters, standard protocols to ensure the most effective and least damaging methods of implantation must be developed. Three implantation methods were tested in various sizes of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha). Methods included a needle bevel-down injection, a needle bevel-up injection with a 90�° rotation, and tag implantation through an unsutured incision. Tagged fish were compared to untagged control groups. Weight and wound area were measured at tagging and every week for 3 weeks; holding tanks were checked daily for mortalities and tag losses. No significant differences among treatments were found in tag loss, or survival, but wound area was significantly reduced among fish tagged via an incision and growth was slightly reduced in bevel down fish. Although there were no significant differences, the bevel-up injection trended toward having the worst results in terms of tag loss and wound area and had high mortality. Implantation through an incision resulted in the lowest tag loss but the highest mortality. Fish from the bevel-down treatment group had the least mortality and smaller wound areas than the bevel-up treatment group but also showed reduced growth. Cumulatively, the data suggest that the unsutured incision and bevel-down injection methods were the most effective; the drawbacks of both methods are described in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: We introduce a method for hydro turbine biological performance assessment (BioPA) to bridge the gap between field and laboratory studies on fish injury and turbine engineering design. Using this method, a suite of biological performance indicators is computed based on simulated data from a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a proposed hydro turbine design. Each performance indicator is a measure of the probability of exposure to a certain dose of an injury mechanism. If the relationship between the dose of an injury mechanism (stressor) and frequency of injury (dose–response) is known from laboratory or field studies, the likelihood of fish injury for a turbine design can be computed from the performance indicator. By comparing the values of the indicators from various turbine designs, engineers and biologists can identify the more-promising designs and operating conditions to minimize hydraulic conditions hazardous to passing fish. In this paper, the BioPA method is applied to estimate barotrauma induced mortal injury rates for Chinook salmon exposed to rapid pressure changes in Kaplan-type hydro turbines. Following the description of the general method, application of the BioPA to estimate the probability of mortal injury from exposure to rapid decompression is illustrated using a Kaplan hydro turbine at the John Day Dam on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest region of the USA. The estimated rates of mortal injury increased from 0.3% to 1.7% as discharge through the turbine increased from 334 to 564m3/s for fish assumed to be acclimated to a depth of 5m. The majority of pressure nadirs occurred immediately below the runner blades, with the lowest values in the gap at the blade tips and just below the leading edge of the blades.

AB - Abstract: Due to its high energy density and MEMS compatible fabrication methods, on-chip porous silicon shows considerable promise as an energetic material. Rapid combustion events have been demonstrated with flame propagation speeds eclipsing 3km/s, but much is still unknown about the controlling parameters of porous silicon combustion. Recent studies show that implementation of microstructure within a nanoporous silicon film greatly increases reaction rate of a relatively slow burning system. The present work utilizes porous silicon microchannels to enhance an already rapidly-reacting system. Reactions in channeled porous silicon regions of this system propagated at speeds up to 1.2km/s faster than similar neat porous silicon films. The fastest propagation speed was 3660m/s, the highest reported flame speed for comparable nanoenergetic systems to date. We provide evidence that the enhancement of flame propagation rates by channeled porous silicon is mechanistically different from the convectively controlled burning of neat porous silicon. This evidence suggests the presence of acoustically aided reactions for porous silicon channel combustion where the channels more readily ignite compared to neat porous silicon. We predict this allows for propagation of the reaction by intense sound waves within the porous medium. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Ammonium perchlorate is one of the main constituents in Army's insensitive melt-pour explosive, PAX-21 in addition to RDX and 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN). The objective of this study is to develop an innovative treatment process to remove both perchlorate and energetic compounds simultaneously from PAX-21 production wastewater. It was hypothesized that the pretreatment of PAX-21 wastewater with zero-valent iron (ZVI) would convert energetic compounds to products that are more amenable for biological oxidation and that these products serve as electron donors for perchlorate-reducing bacteria. Results of batch ZVI reduction experiments showed that DNAN was completely reduced to 2,4-diaminoanisole and RDX was completely reduced to formaldehyde. Anaerobic batch biodegradation experiments showed that perchlorate (30 mg L−1) in ZVI-treated PAX-21 wastewater was decreased to an undetectable level after 5 days. Batch biodegradation experiments also confirmed that formaldehyde in ZVI-treated wastewater was the primary electron donor for perchlorate-respiring bacteria. The integrated iron-anaerobic bioreactor system was effective in completely removing energetic compounds and perchlorate from the PAX-21 wastewater without adding an exogenous electron donor. This study demonstrated that ZVI pretreatment not only removed energetic compounds, but also transformed energetic compounds to products that can serve as the source of electrons for perchlorate-respiring bacteria.

AB - Since 1998, Lyme disease cases have increased in south-central Pennsylvania, which includes Gettysburg National Military Park (NMP). Limited information is available about tick populations or pathogens in this area, and no data regarding frequency of tick bites or prevention measures among Gettysburg NMP employees are available. To address these gaps, ticks were collected, classified, and replaced (to minimize disruptions to tick populations) at two sites within Gettysburg NMP during April-September, 2009, among eight nonremoval samplings. On two additional occasions during May and June, 2009, ticks were collected and removed from the two original sites plus 10 additional sites and tested for tick-borne pathogens by using PCR. A self-administered anonymous survey of Gettysburg NMP employees was conducted to determine knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding tick-borne diseases. Peak Ixodes scapularis nymph populations were observed during May-July. Of 115 I. scapularis ticks tested, 21% were infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, including 18% of 74 nymphs and 27% of 41 adults; no other pathogen was identified. The entomologic risk index was calculated at 1.3 infected nymphs/hour. An adult and nymph Amblyomma americanum were also found, representing the first confirmed field collection of this tick in Pennsylvania, but no pathogens were detected. The survey revealed that most park employees believed Lyme disease was a problem at Gettysburg NMP and that they frequently found ticks on their skin and clothing. However, use of personal preventive measures was inconsistent, and 6% of respondents reported contracting Lyme disease while employed at Gettysburg NMP. These findings indicate a need to improve surveillance for tick bites among employees and enhance prevention programs for park staff and visitors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - Filoviruses are members of the genera Ebolavirus, Marburgvirus, and "Cuevavirus". Because they cause human disease with high lethality and could potentially be used as a bioweapon, these viruses are classified as CDC Category A Bioterrorism Agents. Filoviruses are relatively stable in aerosols, retain virulence after lyophilization, and can be present on contaminated surfaces for extended periods of time. This study explores the characteristics of aerosolized Sudan virus (SUDV) Boniface in non-human primates (NHP) belonging to three different species. Groups of cynomolgus macaques (cyno), rhesus macaques (rhesus), and African green monkeys (AGM) were challenged with target doses of 50 or 500 plaque-forming units (pfu) of aerosolized SUDV. Exposure to either viral dose resulted in increased body temperatures in all three NHP species beginning on days 4-5 post-exposure. Other clinical findings for all three NHP species included leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, anorexia, dehydration, and lymphadenopathy. Disease in all of the NHPs was severe beginning on day 6 post-exposure, and all animals except one surviving rhesus macaque were euthanized by day 14. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) concentrations were elevated during the course of disease in all three species; however, AGMs had significantly higher ALT and AST concentrations than cynos and rhesus. While all three species had detectable viral load by days 3-4 post exposure, Rhesus had lower average peak viral load than cynos or AGMs. Overall, the results indicate that the disease course after exposure to aerosolized SUDV is similar for all three species of NHP.

N2 - The Thai Phase III clinical trial (RV144) showed modest efficacy in preventing HIV-1 acquisition. Plasma collected from HIV-1-uninfected trial participants completing all injections with ALVAC-HIV (vCP1521) prime and AIDSVAX B/E boost were tested for antibody responses against HIV-1 gp120 envelope (Env). Peptide microarray analysis from six HIV-1 subtypes and group M consensus showed that vaccination induced antibody responses to the second variable (V2) loop of gp120 of multiple subtypes. We further evaluated V2 responses by ELISA and surface plasmon resonance using cyclic (Cyc) and linear V2 loop peptides. Thirty-one of 32 vaccine recipients tested (97%) had antibody responses against Cyc V2 at 2 weeks postimmunization with a reciprocal geometric mean titer (GMT) of 1100 (range: 200-3200). The frequency of detecting plasma V2 antibodies declined to 19% at 28 weeks post-last injection (GMT: 110, range: 100-200). Antibody responses targeted the mid-region of the V2 loop tha contains conserved epitopes and has the amino acid sequence KQKVHALFYKLDIVPI (HXB2 Numbering sequence 169-184). Valine at position 172 was critical for antibody binding. The frequency of V3 responses at 2 weeks postimmunization was modest (18/32, 56%) with a GMT of 185 (range: 100-800). In contrast, naturally infected HIV-1 individuals had a lower frequency of antibody responses to V2 (10/20, 50%; p=0.003) and a higher frequency of responses to V3 (19/20, 95%), with GMTs of 400 (range: 100-3200) and 3570 (range: 200-12,800), respectively. RV144 vaccination induced antibodies that targeted a region of the V2 loop that contains conserved epitopes. Early HIV-1 transmission events involve V2 loop interactions, raising the possibility that anti-V2 antibodies in RV144 may have contributed to viral inhibition.

N2 - Background: United States Army Soldiers regularly use dietary supplements (DS) to promote general health, enhance muscle strength, and increase energy, but limited scientific evidence supports the use of many DS for these benefits. This study investigated factors associated with Soldiers' confidence in the efficacy and safety of DS, and assessed Soldiers' knowledge of federal DS regulatory requirements. Methods: Between 2006 and 2007, 990 Soldiers were surveyed at 11 Army bases world-wide to assess their confidence in the effectiveness and safety of DS, knowledge of federal DS regulations, demographic characteristics, lifestyle-behaviors and DS use. Results: A majority of Soldiers were at least somewhat confident that DS work as advertised (67%) and thought they are safe to consume (71%). Confidence in both attributes was higher among regular DS users than non-users. Among users, confidence in both attributes was positively associated with rank, self-rated diet quality and fitness level, education, and having never experienced an apparent DS-related adverse event. Fewer than half of Soldiers knew the government does not require manufacturers to demonstrate efficacy, and almost a third incorrectly believed there are effective pre-market federal safety requirements for DS. Conclusions: Despite limited scientific evidence supporting the purported benefits and safety of many popular DS, most Soldiers were confident that DS are effective and safe. The positive associations between confidence and DS use should be considered when developing DS-related interventions or policies. Additionally, education to clarify Soldiers' misperceptions about federal DS safety and efficacy regulations is warranted.

N2 - We study the behavior of pathogens on host protein networks for humans and Arabidopsis - noting striking similarities. Specifically, we preform k-shell decomposition analysis on these networks - which groups the proteins into various "shells" based on network structure. We observe that shells with a higher average degree are more highly targeted (with a power-law relationship) and that highly targeted nodes lie in shells closer to the inner-core of the network. Additionally, we also note that the inner core of the network is significantly under-targeted. We show that these core proteins may have a role in intra-cellular communication and hypothesize that they are less attacked to ensure survival of the host. This may explain why certain high-degree proteins are not significantly attacked.

N2 - Current vaccine approaches to combat anthrax are effective; however, they target only a single protein [the protective antigen (PA) toxin component] that is produced after spore germination. PA production is subsequently increased during later vegetative cell proliferation. Accordingly, several aspects of the vaccine strategy could be improved. The inclusion of spore-specific antigens with PA could potentially induce protection to initial stages of the disease. Moreover, adding other epitopes to the current vaccine strategy will decrease the likelihood of encountering a strain of Bacillus anthracis (emerging or engineered) that is refractory to the vaccine. Adding recombinant spore-surface antigens (e.g. BclA, ExsFA/BxpB and p5303) to PA has been shown to augment protection afforded by the latter using a challenge model employing immunosuppressed mice challenged with spores derived from the attenuated Sterne strain of B. anthracis. This report demonstrated similar augmentation utilizing guinea pigs or mice challenged with spores of the fully virulent Ames strain or a non-toxigenic but encapsulated ΔAmes strain of B. anthracis, respectively. Additionally, it was shown that immune interference did not occur if optimal amounts of antigen were administered. By administering the toxin and spore-based immunogens simultaneously, a significant adjuvant effect was also observed in some cases. Thus, these data further support the inclusion of recombinant spore antigens in next-generation anthrax vaccine strategies.

N2 - Background: Acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries, particularly sprains, are common in athletic populations and may result in significant time lost to injury. However, surprisingly, little is known of the epidemiology of this injury. Purpose: To define the incidence of AC joint injuries and to determine the risk factors for injury. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiological study. Methods: A longitudinal cohort study was performed to determine the incidence and characteristics of AC joint injury at the United States Military Academy between 2005 and 2009. All suspected AC joint injuries were reviewed by an independent orthopaedic surgeon using both chart reviews as well as assessments of radiological imaging studies. Injuries were graded according to the modified Rockwood classification system as well as dichotomized into low-grade (Rockwood types I and II) and high-grade (Rockwood types III, IV, V, and VI) injuries for analysis. Injury mechanisms, return-to-play timing, and athlete-exposures were documented and analyzed. χ2 and Poisson regression analyses were performed, with statistical significance set at P<.05. Results: During the study period, 162 new AC joint injuries and 17,606 person-years at risk were documented, for an overall incidence rate of 9.2 per 1000 person-years. The majority of the AC joint injuries were low-grade (145 sprains, 89%) injuries, with 17 high-grade injuries. Overall, male patients experienced a significantly higher incidence rate for AC joint injuries than female patients (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 2.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-4.31). An AC joint injury occurred most commonly during athletics (91%). The incidence rate of AC joint injury was significantly higher in intercollegiate athletes than intramural athletics when using athlete-exposure as a measure of person-time at risk (IRR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.31-3.56). Similarly, the incidence rate of AC injury was significantly higher among male intercollegiate athletes when compared to female athletes (IRR, 3.56; 95% CI, 1.74-8.49) when using athlete-exposure as the denominator. The intercollegiate sports of men's rugby, wrestling, and hockey had the highest incidence rate of AC joint injury. Acromioclavicular injuries resulted in at least 1359 total days lost to injury and an average of 18.4 days lost per athlete. The average time lost to injury for low-grade sprains was 10.4 days compared with high-grade injuries at 63.7 days. Of the patients with high-grade injuries, 71% elected to undergo coracoclavicular/AC reconstructions. The rate of surgical intervention was 19 times higher for high-grade AC joint injuries than for low-grade injuries (IRR, 19.2; 95% CI, 7.64-48.23; P<.0001). Conclusion: Acromioclavicular separations are relatively common in young athletes. Most injuries occur during contact sports such as rugby, wrestling, and hockey. Male athletes are at greater risk than female athletes. Intercollegiate athletes are at greater risk than intramural athletes. The average time lost to sport due to AC joint injury was 18 days, with low-grade injuries averaging 10 days lost. High-grade injuries averaged 64 days lost to sport, and 71% elected to undergo surgical repair/reconstruction.

N2 - Since its emergence in the north-eastern and upper mid-western United States in the 1970s, Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, has captured the public's attention as the nation's most prevalent vector-borne zoonotic disease. In contrast, recent publications on tick-pathogen systems in the eastern United States, and findings from Department of Defense investigations of ticks found biting military personnel, indicate that residents of the south-eastern United States are primarily at risk from emerging diseases caused by tick-borne pathogens other than B. burgdorferi. The risk of contracting these diseases varies greatly among states as a consequence of regional variation in the abundance of the key vector tick species. Moreover, this risk is changing, because tick distributions are in flux. To improve health outcomes, health providers need better information and awareness regarding which tick species bite humans in each state and which zoonotic pathogens are prevalent in these ticks. Effective diagnosis, treatment, control and reporting of tick-borne disease in the south-eastern United States require that health providers think 'beyond Lyme' and consider the marked regional differences in the tick species that bite humans and in the pathogens that these ticks carry.

AB - The article considers decaptitation, the counterterrorism strategy in which governments focus on the killing or capture of leaders of terrorist groups. The use of this strategy the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama is noted. The efficacy of decapitation is examined. Leadership, organizational ecology and terrorism research concepts are employed to measure the effectiveness of decapitation. It is found that eliminating leaders of terrorist organizations has a significant impact on their ability to function or to continue in existence.

AB - While the academic study of counterterrorism has gained momentum in recent years, it still suffers from major theoretical weaknesses. One of the most prominent shortcomings is an absence of theories that can effectively explain the factors that shape the counterterrorism policies of democratic regimes. The present study attempts to fill this theoretical void in two ways. First, it proposes an analytical framework for a classification of counterterrorism policies. Second, it presents a theoretical framework that strives to uncover the factors that have influenced the struggle against domestic terrorism in democratic regimes. The analyses, which have used a unique and comprehensive dataset that documents counterterrorism policies in eighty-three democracies, show that the robustness of the regime's democratic foundations as well as the symbolic effect of terrorism are major forces in shaping the democratic response to it, while the direct impact of terrorism is less influential than assumed in the literature.

Since the fall of Libya's Qaddafi, Moscow has been all the more determined to shield Syrian president Assad and draw Central Asian regimes closer to Russia. But there is little evidence that Moscow is credibly reclaiming its former standing as an international power broker. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A common problem in defense acquisition is the difficulty in ensuring that the required capabilities stated in capability development documents are technically feasible, affordable, and available through mature technologies. This problem is driven by a lack of knowledge on both the capability developer and program manager teams. Addressing this knowledge gap requires a new approach to capability development, where knowledge gained early in the process is injected into the capability development process in a rigorous way. This article describes that new technical approach along with lessons learned on two large acquisition programs. Key tenets include the use of pre-planned knowledge points as a vehicle for expanded collaboration between program managers and capability developers, and early use of systems engineering fundamentals.

AB - For over 60 years, the Department of Defense has attempted to fix its weapon systems procurement without success. While notable exceptions emerged during the Global War on Terrorism (i.e., rapid development/ fielding of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles and Improvised Explosive Device defeat systems), "Acquisition Reform" efforts have not consistently yielded a process/system that delivers products faster, better, or cheaper. In 2009, President Obama took the initiative to give reforms another try. Through an analysis that applies John P. Kotter's model of organizational change and Edgar H. Schein's approach to organizational culture and leadership, the conclusion suggests that current initiatives will not be successful. Behavioral change is needed to embed transformation. Acquisition reforms can be coerced, but will not endure as true transformation unless cultural change occurs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - During the Vietnam War the complex nature of fighting an insurgency posed significant problems for US Army officers attempting to measure progress and military effectiveness. While much of the Vietnam historiography maintains that ‘body counts’ served as the primary, if not only, indicator of wartime success, such arguments overlook the vast numbers of reports attempting to measure progress and performance. Problems in evaluating progress stemmed not from a lack of effort on the part of army officers or from a single-minded commitment to counting bodies. Rather, complications arose from attempting to collect too many facts, figures, and statistics without evaluating how accurately such data reflected progress in a complex political-military environment.

AB - Studies have yielded consistent variables associated with military suicides: age (17 to 30 years), gender (male), race (white), and previous mental health conditions. Military experience variables have shown little associations with suicide. Taken together, findings may be explained, in part, by age-specific psychosocial tasks (e.g., intimacy versus isolation and identity versus role confusion). Both relate directly to the extent that the individual is socially integrated—tasks health and medical research literature have described as increasingly more difficult for youth to effectively accomplish. Contextual circumstances, such as gender and race, appear to provide necessary supports to successfully accomplish these psychosocial tasks. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - The U.S. military's operational and institutional training requirements continue to increase in scope and complexity; but training resources, including time, manpower, and money, are limited. Many of the solutions the military has proposed to meet these challenges depend heavily on adaptive training. The purpose of this special issue is to examine current trends in adaptive training, with a particular attention to the military environment. This article summarizes contemporary approaches and challenges to implementing adaptive training and provides an overview of the articles included in the special issue. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - This article assesses the overlap between academic research on adaptive training and how training is adapted in the Army. The literature review encompassed modes of adapting ranging from classroom research to experimental investigations. Army instructors were interviewed to determine how they adapted instruction and the factors that impacted adapting. Integrating these efforts showed that the modes of adapting found in the literature and modes common to the Army did not overlap greatly. Army courses and populations also differed substantially from those in the literature. The research needed to address the major gaps between the academic and Army settings is discussed.

AB - While videogames can easily be tailored to provide “adaptive training,” little research exists examining whether this benefit enhances training outcomes. The current study investigated three task difficulty manipulations and the moderating role of personality. Participants engaged in six 7-minute missions in a videogame-based training task. Openness to experience and neuroticism, but not conscientiousness, interacted with task difficulty condition such that trainees higher in these traits performed better over the course of training in the adaptive condition. These results suggest that adaptive training can result in the greatest performance improvement when the trainee's personality is suited to the instructional environment. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - The overarching goal was to develop a training aid that could address different skill levels across soldiers. A set of flashcards to train map-reading skill was developed that leveraged different types of information across skill levels. Two Initial Military Training companies completed grid-coordinate tests immediately following map-reading training and again 3 weeks later after using the training aid. The results indicated that there was differential benefit for the type of information in the training aid depending on the soldier's skill level and that the combined adaptive-training material improved performance across skill levels and not just within a given skill level.

AB - While combat exposures are considered principle stressors in developing mental health problems, research suggests social support can reduce this risk. Using data from 1,592 previously deployed soldiers, we found five classes of soldiers based on their patterns of responses to items measuring perceived stress. In subsequent analyses, we found increased combat exposure predicted membership in classes with greater combat-related stress, while greater unit cohesion predicted membership in classes with lower perceived stress. Also, greater willingness to report misconduct predicted greater unit cohesion. Results suggest that unit cohesion plays a vital role in the reduction of perceived stress among soldiers.

AB - This article provides information on the use of Traumatic Event Management (TEM) strategies to debrief combat arms personnel whose units sustained traumatic losses in Afghanistan. The specific focus is on the application of Event-Driven Battlemind Psychological Debriefings to combat units. This article offers the first published account of TEM services employed in southern Afghanistan during intensive surge operations in 2009-2010. This article unfolds in three parts: (1) background to the region in which the debriefings occurred; (2) three case examples with a data of types of incidents observed; and (3) discussion of observations, lessons learned, and recommendations for training future clinicians to provide effective debriefings to combat arms personnel.

AB - Purpose: To characterize noncombat injury/illness, determine changes in physical fitness, and evaluate the influence of these changes on medical resource utilization by National Guard (NG) Soldiers. Methods: Fifty-four Soldiers from the Arizona NG completed pre- and postdeployment fitness testing. Additionally, individual deployment medical records were inventoried. Results: The majority of noncombat-related medical visits (41%) were musculo- skeletal in nature, followed by miscellaneous (33%) and respiratory (13%). Soldiers experienced significant decreases in percent fat mass (- 11.1%, p < 0.001) and VO2 peak (- 10.8%, p < 0.001). There were significant increases in push-ups (16.4%, p < 0.00l), sit-ups (11.0%, p = 0.001), bench-press (10.2%, p < 0.001), and back squat (14.2%, p < 0.001) measures. VO2 peak was inversely correlated to medical resource utilization (r = -0.45 to -0.28, p ≤ 0.05). The tertile of Soldiers experiencing the sharpest declines in VO2 peak had significantly more medical visits over the course of the deployment than the other two tertiles (8.0 vs. 2.6 vs. 3.1 medical visits/Soldier, p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The predominate noncombat medical issue was musculoskeletal injury. NG Soldiers improved their body composition, strength, and endurance but experienced significant declines in aerobic fitness while deployed. These data document the association between declining aerobic fitness and increased utilization of medical resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objectives: Military health care personnel need to have skills relative to caring for patients on the battlefield. No studies have compared the two teaching strategies of using the human patient simulator (HPS) and a CD-ROM in caring for combat injuries. The objective of this study was to determine if there were statistically significant differences in HPS and CD-ROM educational strategies relative to caring for patients who have trauma. Methods: A pretest/post-test prospective experimental design was used. Anesthesia students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: HPS, CD-ROM, or a control group. A valid and reliable instrument, Combat Performance, was used to evaluate the participant's ability to give care to trauma patients. Results: A repeated analysis of variance and a least significant difference post hoc test were used to analyze the data. The HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM and control groups relative to performance (p = 0.001). There was no difference between the CD-ROM and control group (p = 0.171). Discussion: We speculate that the HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM group because of the realism. Conclusion: In this study, the HPS method of instruction was a more effective method of teaching than the CD-ROM approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Appropriate and effective physical fitness training is imperative for soldier survival and mission success. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Mission Essential Fitness (MEF) circuit-style training program compared to standard Army Physical Readiness Training (APRT) on fitness, physiological, and body composition changes. Active duty Army personnel were randomly assigned to two groups (MEF = 34 or APRT = 33) for 8 weeks of training (15 sessions each). The MEF program included functional movements focused on strength, power, speed, and agility. Fifteen exercises were performed continuously for 60 to 90 seconds for 45 minutes. Baseline and post-test measures included the Army physical fitness test, physiological indicators, body composition, and additional fitness indicators. One-way analysis of covariance models indicated that MEF participants significantly increased their push-ups (p = 0.033), bench press (p = 0.001), and flexibility (p = 0.003) and significantly decreased their 2-mile run (p = 0.003) and step test heart rate (p = 0.004) compared to participants doing APRT. Both groups maintained body composition (p > 0.05) and reported no injuries. The MEF training program safely improved muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility, supporting functional fitness circuit-style exercise training for military personnel.

AB - We hypothesized that the use of evidence based injury prevention strategies would lead to a reduction in the incidence of femoral neck stress injuries (FNSIs) and other serious overuse injuries in U.S. Army Basic Combat Training (BCT). An injury prevention strategy began in late 2008 that included: (1) leadership education, (2) leader- ship enforcement of proven methods, and (3) injury surveillance and reporting. Data on FNSI and removal from training for injury were analyzed based on the fiscal year 2006 through 2010 (n = 210,002). For men, FNSI were reduced from 13 to 20 cases/10,000 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 8 cases/10,000 recruits in 2010 (p < 0.01); for women, FNSI were reduced from 35 to 41 cases/10,000 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 18 cases/10,000 recruits per year in 2010 (p < 0.01). For men, removals from training for injury were reduced from 0.8 to 1.1 cases/100 recruits per year (2006-2008) to 0.5 cases/100 recruits in 2010 (p < 0.01); for women removal from training for injury was reduced from 2.3 to 2.4 cases/100 recruits (2006-2008) to 1.0 case/100 recruits per years in 2010 (p < 0.01). The time course of the changes suggests that following specific injury prevention methods was effective in reducing injuries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - With neurocognitive testing being heavily relied on for concussion assessments in the U.S. Warfighter, there is a need to investigate the impact of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Objectives: To determine if a nonconcussive injury may have a negative effect on neurocognitive functioning in a deployment setting. Methods: The current study compared scores on computerized and traditional neurocognitive tests of 166 Soldiers deployed to Iraq. Performance on a battery of tests was compared between a group of healthy deployed Soldiers (n = 102) versus a group of deployed Soldiers seeking outpatient care for mild injuries not involving the head or blast exposure (n = 62). Results: The injured group's performance was not significantly lower on any of the measures administered compared to healthy Soldiers. Conclusions: The results suggest that there was no significant effect of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Findings lend support to feasibility of using neurocognitive tests to evaluate the effects of concussion in theater. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been not only a major focus of concern during the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, but also among our garrison service members. The prevalence of these injuries has compelled the nation and Congress to invest in the development of policies and programs that support evidence-based care for the full continuum of TBI, from mild (otherwise known as concussion) to severe and penetrating brain injuries. Although, the Department of Defense has made great strides in the areas of TBI clinical care, education, and research, there remains a great need to leverage scientific, policy, and clinical advancement to maximize care of the service member. The purpose of this article is to outline the 7 major areas of work currently being undertaken to help advance the field of TBI. The 7 areas include: (1) eliminating undetected mild traumatic brain injury through prompt early diagnosis, (2) ensuring force readiness and addressing cultural barriers, (3) improving collaborations with the Department of Veterans Affairs, other federal agencies, and academic and civilian organizations, (4) improving deployment-related assessments, (5) deploying effective treatments, (6) conducting military-relevant and targeted research, and (7) enhancing information technology systems.

AB - Highly mobile multipurpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) crashes present an important issue for the U.S. military. The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of occupants of military motor vehicle (MMV) crashes involving HMMWVs that occurred among deployed U.S. Army Soldiers. Crash-related data were collected from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center on MMV crashes among active duty Army personnel between 1999 and 2006. Records for 964 occupants with injuries from HMMWV crashes were analyzed, which represented 52% of the total occupants of MMV crashes. A significant association was observed between injury and engagement in combat, odds ratio 1.49 (1.03, 2.16). The risk of injury was greatest for gunners, odds ratio 2.37 (1.43, 3.92), and injury cost related to the crash was significantly related to prior deployment status (p < 0.001) and role of Soldier in the vehicle (Operator p = 0.005, Gunner p = 0.003). There was also a decrease over time in the number of crashes resulting in injury (p < 0.001). These data support the development of interventions that address the specific risks detailed, including the use of combat simulation training, increased protection for vulnerable positions, and enforcement of safety regulations.

AB - On January 30,2009, nursing staff at a military hospital in Texas reported that single-patient use insulin pens were used on multiple patients. An investigation was initiated to determine if patient-to-patient bloodborne transmission occurred from the practice. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing was offered to patients hospitalized from August 2007 to January 2009 and prescribed insulin pen injections. Virus from HCV-infected patients' sera was sequenced and compared for relatedness. An anonymous survey was administered to nurses. Of 2,113 patients prescribed insulin pen injections, 1,501 (71%) underwent testing; 6 (0.4%) were HIV positive, 6 (0.4%) were hepatitis B surface antigen positive, and 56 (3.7%) had HCV antibody. No viral sequences from 10 of 28 patients with newly diagnosed and 12 of 28 patients with preexisting HCV infection were closely related. Of 54 nurses surveyed, 74% reported being trained on insulin pen use, but 24% believed nurses used insulin pens on more than one patient. We found no clear evidence of bloodborne pathogen transmission. Training of hospital staff on correct use of insulin pens should be prioritized and their practices evaluated. Insulin pens should be more clearly labeled for single-patient use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The U.S. Army continues to evaluate capabilities associated with the Future of Vertical Lift (FVL) program--a futures program (with a time horizon of 15 years and beyond) intended to replace the current helicopter fleet. As part of the FVL study, we investigated required capabilities for future aeromedical evacuation platforms. This study presents two significant capability findings associated with the future aeromedical evacuation platform and one doctrinal finding associated with medical planning for future brigade operations. The three results follow: (1) Given simplifying assumptions and constraints for a scenario where a future brigade is operating in a 300 x 300² km the zero-risk aircraft ground speed required for the FVL platform is 350 nautical miles per hour (knots); (2) Given these same assumptions and constraints with the future brigade projecting power in a circle of radius 150 km, the zero-risk ground speed required for the FVL platform is 260 knots; and (3) Given uncertain casualty locations associated with future brigade stability and support operations, colocating aeromedical evacuation assets and surgical elements mathematically optimizes the 60-minute set covering problem.

AB - We sought to summarize knee injuries (KI) in the U.S. Active Duty Army (ADA) in terms of absolute numbers, examine current rate trends, and identify ADA who were at increased risk for experiencing a KI. We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD) to compute unadjusted and adjusted rates of KI, categorized by the Barell Matrix, within the ADA for the years 2000-2005. During this period, 21 to 25 per 1,000 ADA suffered from KI. The highest yearly rates were observed for knee dislocation and sprains/strains (31 per 1,000 ADA). In ADA with a history of a KI (within 2 years), rates increased nearly tenfold. Elevated KI rates were also seen in ADA with prior upper or lower leg injuries, those >30 years of age, and those with a category IV Armed Forces Qualification Test score (lowest admissible in Army). ADA KI rates remained fairly stable throughout the study period. Relative to other ADA Soldiers, those with prior knee, upper leg, or lower leg injuries are at increased risk for subsequent KI.

AB - The purpose of the present study was to assess the occurrence of visual dysfunctions and associated symptoms in active duty warfighters during the subacute stage of blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). A comprehensive visual and oculomotor function evaluation was performed on 40 U.S. military personnel, 20 with blast-induced mTBI and 20 without. In addition, a comprehensive symptom questionnaire was used to assess the frequency of visual, vestibular, and neuropsychiatric-associated symptoms. The most common mTBI-induced visual dysfunctions were associated with near oculomotor deficits, particularly large exophoria, decreased fusion ranges, receded near point of convergence, defective pursuit and saccadic eye movements, decreased amplitude of accommodation, and monocular accommodative facility. These were associated with reduced reading speed and comprehension and an increased Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey score. Photosensitivity was a common visual dysfunction along with hearing, balance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The oculomotor testing for warfighters suspected of blast-induced mTBI should include, at a minimum, the assessment of near lateral and vertical phorias, positive fusional vergence, stereoacuity, near point of convergence, amplitude of accommodation, monocular accommodative facility, saccades, and pursuit eye movements. A reading test should be included in all routine exams as a functional assessment of the integration of oculomotor functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - U.S. Army soldiers spend months at a time working in austere environments during deployments. The numerous physical demands placed on them during deployment can lead to musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries account for the majority of medical evacuations and lost duty days, seriously affecting mission readiness. Because of limited electronic injury data, little research has been done on physical demands associated with injury in deployed environments. To this end, this study conducted a survey on 263 soldiers in a Stryker Brigade Combat Team during their third month of deployment to Afghanistan. In the third month, 23% sustained an injury and 43% of injuries affected the low-back, shoulder, or knee. Dismounted patrolling and lifting were reported to account for 36% of injuries. Wearing heavy loads and lifting tasks were identified as injury risk factors. Wearing heavier equipment and lifting objects higher may increase physical demands and may result in injury.

AB - Objectives: To explore the relationship between adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) subtypes and neuropsychological functioning among U.S. soldiers. Methods: Deploying soldiers (N = 260) completed the World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener. Cognitive tests, a deployment healthhistory questionnaire, and the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist-Military Version were completed by subsamples of available participants. Results: The prevalence of positive ASRS screens was 10.4%. ASRS scores were correlated with PTSD avoidance (n = 63, p = 0.37, p - 0.003), hyperarousal (17 = 63, p = 0.25, p = 0.047), and total PTSD scores (n = 62, p = 0.33, p = 0.009); and all six moods (e.g., anger, anxiety) scale scores (n = 110; p = -0.37 to 0.43). ASRS was also correlated with scores on the match-to-sample (n = 110, p = -0.23, p = 0.014) and emotional Stroop (n = 108, p = -0.23, p = 0.016) tasks. In addition, a differential pattern between subtypes of ADHD was noted with regard to cognitive functioning, mood, and combat stress symptomatology. Conclusions: Although the results are preliminary given the sample size, the prevalence and comorbidities of ADHD appear to be similar among military and nonmilitary populations.

AB - Congress has mandated that the Department of Defense perform screening for concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury, on all service members redeploying from Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the retrospective diagnosis of concussion is complicated by the subjective nature of the complaints, overlap of symptoms with other conditions, and the normally rapid recovery of neurocognitive function following a concussive event. One diagnostic and screening test in current use by the Department of Defense is the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM). A team of researchers deployed to Iraq between January and April 2009 to test the validity of the ANAM for the diagnosis of concussion in the combat environment. Performance by concussed participants on all six ANAM subtests was compared with that of controls. The ANAM appears to have no utility as an individual diagnostic or population screening tool for the detection of neurocognitive dysfunction from a single, uncomplicated concussion when administered 10 or more days following injury. Further studies are required to determine the modalities providing optimal sensitivity and specificity for use as diagnostic or screening tests beyond the first 72-hour acute postinjury period.

AB - After the decision to re-arm Germany in the early 1950s, the military leadership in the Federal Republic of Germany or “Bundeswehr” once again set out to create an army capable of not only defending the Federal Republic of Germany but of being able to integrate itself within the framework of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) forward defense of Western Europe. This article examines the Bundeswehr's re-armament and its operational and tactical organization as well as the weapons systems, most notably the development of a whole new generation of main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles or personnel carriers that were far superior to either their Soviet or American counterparts. The article likewise examines the incorporation of tactics and operational doctrine employed by the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front (1941–1945) during World War II. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - The accuracy of outdoor sound propagation predictions is often limited by imperfect knowledge of the atmospheric and ground properties, and random environmental variations such as turbulence. This article describes the impact of such uncertainties, and how they can be efficiently addressed and quantified with stochastic sampling techniques such as Monte Carlo and Latin hypercube sampling (LHS). Extensions to these techniques, such as importance sampling based on simpler, more efficient propagation models, and adaptive importance sampling, are described. A relatively simple example problem involving the Lloyd's mirror effect for an elevated sound source in a homogeneous atmosphere is considered first, followed by a more complicated example involving near-ground sound propagation with refraction and scattering by turbulence. When uncertainties in the atmospheric and ground properties dominate, LHS with importance sampling is found to converge to an accurate estimate with the fewest samples. When random turbulent scattering dominates, the sampling method has little impact. A comprehensive computational approach is demonstrated that is both efficient and accurate, while simultaneously incorporating broadband sources, turbulent scattering, and uncertainty in the environmental properties.

AB - There is much debate as to whether or not the passage of no-smoking laws has adverse consequences for businesses in the hospitality industry. In 2010, the state of Wisconsin implemented a law that banned smoking in all public places. Using a panel of county-level employment data, I examine the relationship between the implementation of smoking bans in Wisconsin and the subsequent changes in bar and restaurant employment. Using variation in the timing of bans that occurred as a result of four counties that implemented local bans prior to the July 2010 statewide ban, I conduct a difference-in-differences analysis to measure the average treatment effect of implementing a smoking ban in Wisconsin. I find that restaurant employment is not affected and that bar employment is significantly reduced as a result of the smoking ban. I also find that counties with higher levels of smoking prevalence see greater reductions in bar employment when a smoking ban is enacted. Back-of-the-envelope estimates suggest that even though there are employment losses, the benefits of the smoking ban outweigh the costs. ( JEL L510, D780) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Early in a program, engineers must determine requirements for system reliability and availability. We suggest that existing techniques gathered from diverse fields can be incorporated within the framework of systems engineering methodology to accomplish this. Specifically, adopting probabilistic (Monte Carlo) design techniques allows the designer to incorporate uncertainty explicitly into the design process and to improve the designer's understanding of the root causes of failures and how often these might realistically occur. In high-reliability systems in which failure occurs infrequently, rare-event simulation techniques can reduce the computational burden of achieving this understanding. This paper provides an introductory survey of the literature on systems engineering, requirements engineering, Monte Carlo simulation, probabilistic design, and rare-event simulation with the aim of assessing the degree to which these have been integrated in systems design for reliability. This leads naturally to a proposed framework for the fusion of these techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - Background: Employers, courts, and the general public judge the credibility of professionals based on credentials such as academic degrees, publications, memberships in professional organizations, board certifications, and professional registrations. However, the relevance and merit of these credentials can be difficult to determine objectively. Board certification can be a reliable indicator of proficiency if the certifying organization demonstrates, through regularly scheduled independent review, that its processes meet established standards and when a certificate holder is required to periodically demonstrate command of a body of knowledge that is essential to current professional practice. Objective: We report herein a current Standard of Knowledge in general toxicology compiled from the experience and opinions of 889 certified practicing professional toxicologists. Discussion: An examination is the most commonly used instrument for testing a certification candidate's command of the body of knowledge. However, an examination-based certification is only creditable when the body of knowledge, to which a certification examination tests, is representative of the current knowledge, skills, and capabilities needed to effectively practice at the professional level. Thus, that body of knowledge must be the current "Standard of Knowledge" for the profession, compiled in a transparent fashion from current practitioners of the profession. Conclusion: This work was conducted toward ensuring the scientific integrity of the products produced by professional toxicologists.

N2 - Sports leagues consist of conferences subdivided into divisions. Teams play a number of games within their divisions and fewer games against teams in different divisions and conferences. Usually, a league structure remains stable from one season to the next. However, structures change when growth or contraction occurs, and realignment of the four major professional sports leagues in North America has occurred more than 25 times since 1967. In this paper, we describe a method for realigning sports leagues that is flexible, adaptive, and that enables construction of schedules that minimize travel while satisfying other criteria. We do not build schedules; we develop league structures which support the subsequent construction of efficient schedules. Our initial focus is the NHL, which had a need for realignment following the recent move of the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg, but our methods can be adapted to virtually any situation. We examine a variety of scenarios for the NHL, and apply our methods to the NBA, MLB, and NFL. We find the biggest improvements for MLB and the NFL, where adopting the best solutions would reduce league travel by about 20%. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Ultramarathon (UM) running is a rapidly growing sport throughout the world, yet to date it has received little attention in sport psychology literature. To obtain further insight into this sport, the current study examined the training and competition experiences of UM runners. Phenomenological interviews were conducted with 26 participants ranging in age from 32 to 67 years (M = 44.1 yrs, SD = 8.1). Qualitative analysis of the interview data identified meaning units, which were grouped into major themes. A final thematic structure revealed five major themes that characterized the participant's experience of UM running: preparation and strategy, management, discovery, personal achievement, and community. Taken together, the present results extend previous research on UM running and provide a number of suggestions for sport psychology consultants working with UM runners. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Purpose Research suggests the importance of psychosocial factors in recovery from musculoskeletal injuries. The objective of this study was to identify predictors of recovery among U.S. Marines who had musculoskeletal injuries of the back, knee, or shoulder. Methods A sample of 134 participants was assessed at baseline and followed for 1 year to determine outcome information. Results The strongest predictor of injury recovery at the 1-year follow-up was recovery expectations. In a multivariate logistic model with key demographic and psychosocial factors controlled, individuals who had high recovery expectations at baseline were over five times as likely to be recovered at follow-up as individuals who had low expectations (OR = 5.18, p < .01). Conclusions This finding is consistent with a large body of research that has linked recovery expectations with better recovery outcomes in patients with musculoskeletal injuries as well as with research linking recovery expectations with better outcomes across a wide range of medical conditions. Applied to military populations, interventions designed to modify recovery expectations may have the potential to improve rates of return to duty and to reduce rates of disability discharge.

AB - This study examined psychological and physical health factors in a cohort of U.S. Marine recruits with the goal of developing a comprehensive understanding of attributes recruits bring to training. 1,350 male recruits completed a multimeasure survey during the first week of training. A 2-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted to explore the relationship of hardiness dimensions on several psychological and physical factors. Compared with other military samples, this cohort reported similar levels on hardiness control and rigidity subscales. Recruits who reported higher scores on a measure of positive hardiness also reported higher scores on measures of grit, grit ambition, sensation seeking, training expectations, positive ways of coping, physical and mental health, fitness scores, and lower scores on a measure of depression. This study provides a more complete understanding of the complex array of attributes of Marine recruits and forms a foundation for predictive models of injury risk and/or attrition.

AB - Most existing literature on religion/spirituality (R/S) and resiliency focuses on mainstream populations, where R/S appears to be a search for positive meaning, protective factors, and a predictor of successful adaptation in coping with adversity. The role of R/S in fostering resilience among Muslim Military Personnel (MMP) and other minority faith groups is understudied, and it remains unclear how religious coping strategies apply to minority religious groups when faced with faith-related stressors. This study explores situations in which R/S is perceived as both a protective and a risk factor for MMP and describes the effects that faith-related stressors have on their psychological wellbeing. The study used in-depth individual interviews with 20 U.S. MMP, active, reserves/national guards, and retired, from different backgrounds. Grounded thematic analysis guided the processing of qualitative interview data, using the software package NVivo9. The results demonstrate the central role of R/S and practice in the life of MMP, support the approach of understanding resiliency through vulnerability, as well as the importance of the cultural meaning MMP attach to their experiences with adversity and how these meanings contribute to their resiliency. The study has policy and practice implications for social work and other helping professions, as well as for current and likely future American wars and the organization of faith-based services within the total U.S. Armed Forces (USAF).

AB - Individuals in high-risk occupations (e.g., military service) often report physical, psychological, and organizational problems. Although leaders can partially buffer their subordinates against these problems, the impact of established leadership skills appears limited, especially in high-risk occupations. Thus, building on recent theories of domain-specific leadership, we examined whether leadership focused on the specific domain of sleep might be negatively associated with some specific problems facing individuals in high-risk occupations, beyond their relationship with general leadership. Studying military personnel on peacekeeping and combat deployments, we predicted that “sleep leadership” would be negatively associated with sleep problems (physical), depressive symptoms (psychological), and negative climate (organizational), and that sleep would mediate the relationship between sleep leadership and the psychological and organizational problems. Results were generally supportive, contributing to theories of domain-specific leadership by showing that sleep-focused leader behaviors may go beyond general leadership behaviors, relating directly to the problems facing individuals in high-risk occupations.

N2 - Background Little is known about the physiologic mechanism of dry needling. While some evidence suggests that dry needling may decrease nocioceptive sensitivity and facilitate muscle function, no studies to date have examined these physiologic changes compared to clinical outcomes. Objective To examine changes in lumbar multifidus (LM) muscle function and nociceptive sensitivity after dry needling in patients with LBP and to determine if such changes differ in patients that exhibit improved disability (responders) and those that do not (non-responders). Design Quasi-experimental study. Methods Sixty-six volunteers with mechanical LBP (38 men, age = 41.3 ± 9.2 years) completed the study. Ultrasound measurements and pain algometry of the LM were taken at baseline and repeated immediately following dry needling treatment to the LM muscles and after one week. The percent change in muscle thickness from rest to contraction was calculated for each time point to represent muscle function. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was used to measure nociceptive sensitivity. Participants were dichotomized as responders and non-responders based on whether or not they experienced clinical improvement using the modified Oswestry Disability Index after one week. 2 × 3 mixed-model ANOVA were conducted for group (responders vs. non-responders) by time. Results Patient responders exhibited larger improvements in LM muscle contraction and nociceptive sensitivity 1 week, but not immediately, after dry needling than non-responders. Conclusions Our results suggest that there may be lasting and clinically relevant sensorimotor changes that occur in LBP patients that improve with dry needling treatment that partially explain the physiologic mechanism of action.

AB - What are the risks and rewards of power centralization in competitive authoritarian regimes, and who in the regime bears those risks and enjoys the rewards? The elimination of gubernatorial elections in Russia in late 2004 provides a unique opportunity to study public reaction to policies that replaced democratically elected regional leaders with Kremlin appointees, thereby further concentrating power in the hands of the central state while simultaneously reducing the level of democratic accountability in Russian politics. Using a 2007 survey of 1500 Russians, it is possible to observe how key measures of public opinion and regime support were influenced by the elimination of gubernatorial elections. Because the timeline of gubernatorial appointments was determined exogenously based on the expiration of elected incumbent governors' terms, by 2007 some regions had governors who still held electoral mandates, while others had Kremlin appointees with no electoral mandate. This quasi experiment allows us to draw surprising conclusions about whom Russians blame - and do not blame - when power becomes increasingly centralized in the hands of the president.

AB - Shooting a firearm involves a complex series of cognitive abilities. For example, locating an item or a person of interest requires visual search, and firing the weapon (or withholding a trigger squeeze) involves response execution (or inhibition). The present study used a simulated shooting environment to establish a relationship between a particular cognitive ability and a critical shooting error—response inhibition and firing on civilians, respectively. Individual-difference measures demonstrated, perhaps counterintuitively, that simulated civilian casualties were not related to motor impulsivity (i.e., an itchy trigger finger) but rather to an individual’s cognitive ability to withhold an already initiated response (i.e., an itchy brain). Furthermore, active-response-inhibition training reduced simulated civilian casualties, which revealed a causal relationship. This study therefore illustrates the potential of using cognitive training to possibly improve shooting performance, which might ultimately provide insight for military and law-enforcement personnel.

AB - After World War II ended in 1945, U.S. Army intelligence agencies, especially the Counter Intelligence Corps, recruited former Nazi officials, war crimes suspects, and war criminals to collect information on communist party and Soviet activities in Europe. While studies have examined individual cases, this article seeks to establish the historical context of the early Cold War that set the framework for this intelligence exploitation. It also weighs the intelligence value of the Army's Nazi informants and reviews recruitment by other American and Allied intelligence services. Finally, it discusses the challenges of using ethical guidelines in recruiting secret agents, during the early Cold War and beyond. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Bidirectional rotary motion of a millimeter-scale traveling wave ultrasonic motor is demonstrated using solution-deposited thin-film lead zirconate titanate and wafer-scale microelectromechanical system fabrication techniques. Rotation speeds of a motor 3 mm in diameter have been characterized up to 2000 r/min as a function of voltage, phase, and frequency, with power consumption less than 4 mW. Frequency characterization shows no nonlinear behavior, while phase characterization shows that motion can be generated with a single source drive. Furthermore, imprint in the piezoelectric response was exploited to achieve higher speeds, starting voltages lower than 4 V, and demonstration of a 2-mm diameter motor up to 1730 r/min. Design and fabrication of the motors are also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Hyperspectral remote sensing often captures imagery where the spectral profiles of the spatial pixels are the result of the reflectance contribution of numerous materials. Spectral unmixing is then used to extract the collection of materials, or endmembers, contained in the measured spectra and a set of corresponding fractions that indicate the abundance of each material present at each pixel. This paper aims at developing a spectral unmixing algorithm directly from compressive measurements acquired using the coded-aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) system. The proposed method first uses the compressive measurements to find a sparse vector representation of each pixel in a 3-D dictionary formed by a 2-D wavelet basis and a known spectral library of endmembers. The sparse vector representation is estimated by solving a sparsity-constrained optimization problem using an algorithm based on the variable splitting augmented Lagrangian multipliers method. The performance of the proposed spectral unmixing method is improved by taking optimal CASSI compressive measurements obtained when optimal coded apertures are used in the optical system. The optimal coded apertures are designed such that the CASSI sensing matrix satisfies a restricted isometry property with high probability. Simulations with synthetic and real hyperspectral cubes illustrate the accuracy of the proposed unmixing method. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - In this paper, an exceptionally sensitive form of electron paramagnetic resonance called electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) is utilized to investigate performance limiting imperfections at and very near the interface of 4H-silicon carbide MOSFETs. EDMR measurements are made over an extremely wide range of frequencies, 16 GHz–350 MHz. Multiple interface/near interface defects are identified and strong evidence for significant disorder at the interface region is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper presents a methodology to compare various Tainter gate strut-arm retrofit techniques based on the longevity corrosion maintenance (LCM) factor. The rating system is designed to encourage agencies to select retrofits that will better upgrade existing conditions to meet current design standards for hydraulic steel structures and achieve a long design life. An overview of past Tainter gate failures, governing strut-arm load cases, past strut-arm retrofit strategies, current design standards for hydraulic steel structures, and the consequences of welding or bolting to existing structures has been considered in this study as evidence to support the proposed Tainter gate retrofit comparison methodology. An example problem illustrates how to determine the LCM factor and assign a LCM grade for three retrofit scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Through-the-wall radar (TTWR) systems designed for detecting, locating, and tracking humans are plagued by harsh clutter scenarios caused by the variety and abundance of furniture elements within the antenna?s field of view. This paper investigates the signatures of indoor clutter using radar cross section (RCS) and linear depolarization ratios to implement clutter suppression algorithms. The paper focuses on the analysis of common individual and composite pieces of indoor clutter for TTWR. The characterization of the wideband spectral properties of indoor clutter elements is accomplished using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) techniques. Using FDTD, the spectral characteristics of clutter elements are obtained over a wide range of frequencies, different polarizations, and aspect angles.We compare and contrast the RCS responses between the different objects for analysis and use in TTWR. RCS results obtained from the simulations are compared to experimental data using a network analyzer and reasonable agreement is obtained. Clutter signatures are also compared to those of humans in order to design appropriate waveforms for maximizing the signal-to-clutter ratio in TTWR systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The electromagnetic and thermal response of composites subjected to magnetic fields is simulated by solving Maxwell and heat transfer equations simultaneously. The developed analysis accounts for the anisotropic nature of the electrical and thermal properties in three dimensions. A finite-element code is developed to predict the response of composite structures subjected to transient magnetic fields. The analysis has been validated against a closed-form solution and applied to simulate the induction heating process of composite cylinders. The developed analysis can be applied to the design of modern electrical weapons and used to simulate composite manufacturing processes such as induction cure. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

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

AB - The fragile health of patients who are admitted to a burn intensive care unit (ICU) requires clinicians and clinical teams to perform complex cognitive work that includes time-pressured diagnostic and therapeutic decisions that are based on emergent and interrelated patient information. Barriers to clinician efforts delay patient care and increase care cost, length of stay, and the potential for misadventures. The Cooperative Communication System is a real-time information technology system in its final year of development that is designed to support individual and team cognitive work and communication in the burn ICU. The project has used cognitive systems engineering methods to reveal genotypes: the traits that mold this naturalistic decision-making work setting. Requirements derived from findings guided development of seven core features, configurable displays, and machine learning features that enable clinicians to obtain and use the most important information on individual patients and among and across patients. Recent evaluation data demonstrate the system’s usability and value to the clinical staff. More efficient, reliable collaboration among members of the ICU staff who use the Cooperative Communication System is expected to improve patient safety and improve patient outcomes.

AB - Post‐task resting state dynamics can be viewed as a task‐driven state where behavioral performance is improved through endogenous, non‐explicit learning. Tasks that have intrinsic value for individuals are hypothesized to produce post‐task resting state dynamics that promote learning. We measured simultaneous fMRI/EEG and DTI in Division‐1 collegiate baseball players and compared to a group of controls, examining differences in both functional and structural connectivity. Participants performed a surrogate baseball pitch Go/No‐Go task before a resting state scan, and we compared post‐task resting state connectivity using a seed‐based analysis from the supplementary motor area (SMA), an area whose activity discriminated players and controls in our previous results using this task. Although both groups were equally trained on the task, the experts showed differential activity in their post‐task resting state consistent with motor learning. Specifically, we found (1) differences in bilateral SMA–L Insula functional connectivity between experts and controls that may reflect group differences in motor learning, (2) differences in BOLD‐alpha oscillation correlations between groups suggests variability in modulatory attention in the post‐task state, and (3) group differences between BOLD‐beta oscillations that may indicate cognitive processing of motor inhibition. Structural connectivity analysis identified group differences in portions of the functionally derived network, suggesting that functional differences may also partially arise from variability in the underlying white matter pathways. Generally, we find that brain dynamics in the post‐task resting state differ as a function of subject expertise and potentially result from differences in both functional and structural connectivity.

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

AB - We used administrative data to examine predictors of medically documented suicide ideation (SI) among Regular Army soldiers from 2006 through 2009 (N = 10,466 ideators, 124,959 control person‐months). Enlisted ideators (97.8% of all cases) were more likely than controls to be female, younger, older when entering service, less educated, never or previously deployed, and have a recent mental health diagnosis. Officer ideators were more likely than controls to be female, younger, younger when entering service, never married, and have a recent mental health diagnosis. Risk among enlisted soldiers peaked in the second month of service and declined steadily, whereas risk among officers remained relatively stable over time. Risk of SI is highest among enlisted soldiers early in Army service, females, and those with a recent mental health diagnosis. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - Astronauts and vestibular patients face analogous challenges to orientation function due to adaptive exogenous (weightlessness-induced) or endogenous (pathology-induced) alterations in the processing of acceleration stimuli. Given some neurovestibular similarities between these challenges, both affected groups may benefit from shared research approaches and adaptation measurement/improvement strategies. This article reviews various past strategies and introduces two plausible ground-based approaches, the first of which is a method for eliciting and assessing vestibular adaptation-induced imbalance. Second, we review a strategy for mitigating imbalance associated with vestibular pathology and fostering readaptation. In discussing the first strategy (for imbalance assessment), we review a pilot study wherein imbalance was elicited (among healthy subjects) via an adaptive challenge that caused a temporary/reversible disruption. The surrogate vestibular deficit was caused by a brief period of movement-induced adaptation to an altered (rotating) gravitoinertial frame of reference. This elicited adaptation and caused imbalance when head movements were made after reentry into the normal (non-rotating) frame of reference. We also review a strategy for fall mitigation, viz., a prototype tactile sway feedback device for aiding balance/recovery after disruptions caused by vestibular pathology. We introduce the device and review a preliminary exploration of its effectiveness in aiding clinical balance rehabilitation (discussing the implications for healthy astronauts). Both strategies reviewed in this article represent cross-disciplinary research spin-offs: the ground-based vestibular challenge and tactile cueing display were derived from aeromedical research to benefit military aviators suffering from flight simulator-relevant aftereffects or inflight spatial disorientation, respectively. These strategies merit further evaluation using clinical and astronaut populations. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

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

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

AB - The ability to efficiently process presuppositions, which contain information that the speaker believes to be in the background to the conversation, is essential for effective communication. To get a deeper understanding of the nature and the time-course of temporal presupposition processing, we examined event-related potential evoked by the word again in two types of sentence contexts. The word again was presented in contexts that supported a presupposition (e.g. Jake had tipped a maid at the hotel once before. Today he tipped a maid at the hotel again … ) or violated it (e.g. Jake had never tipped a maid at the hotel before. Today he tipped a maid at the hotel again … ). The presupposition violation was associated with increased amplitudes of the P3b/P600 but not the N400 component. We argue for the centrality of the P3b/P600 component for presupposition processing. These findings demonstrate rapid integration of lexical presuppositions with contextual knowledge. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

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

AB - Neurocognitive assessment tools (NCAT) are commonly used to screen for changes in cognitive functioning following a mild traumatic brain injury and to assist with a return to duty decision. As such, it is critical to determine if performance on the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) is adversely affected by operationally-relevant field environments. Differences in DANA performance between a thermoneutral environment and three simulated operationally-relevant field environments across the thermal stress continuum were calculated for 16 healthy U.S. Navy service members. Practice effects associated with brief test-retest intervals were calculated within each environmental condition. There were no significant differences between the simulated environmental conditions suggesting that performance on the DANA Brief is not impacted by thermal stress. Additionally, there were no significant differences in performance within each simulated environmental condition associated with repeated administrations.

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

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

AB - We challenge the intuitive belief that greater leader sensitivity is always associated with desirable outcomes for employees and organizations. Specifically, we argue that followers’ idiosyncratic desires for, and perceptions of, leader sensitivity behaviors play a key role in how followers react to their leader’s sensitivity. Moreover, these resulting affective experiences are likely to have important consequences for organizations, specifically as they relate to employee counterproductive work behavior (CWB). Drawing from supplies-values (S-V) fit theory and the stressor-emotion model of CWB, the current study focuses on the affective and behavioral consequences of fit between subordinates’ ideal leader sensitivity behavior preferences and subordinates’ perceptions of their actual leader’s sensitivity behaviors. Polynomial regression analyses reveal that congruence between ideal and actual leader sensitivity influences employee negative affect and, consequently, engagement in counterproductive work behavior.

AB - Comments on an article by Thomas W. Britt et al. (see record [rid]2016-33183-027[/rid]). The term resilience has grown in popularity among the general public and within the scientific community. Unfortunately, the rise in popularity has advanced neither our theoretical understanding of this construct nor the methodological approaches to study this topic. Britt et al. highlighted important conceptual, methodological, and practical advances and shortcomings within the literature on employee resilience. However, critical conceptual issues remain unaddressed within the focal article. Specifically, in our commentary, we differentiate between resiliency and resilience, identify key dimensions of each construct, and explicate the role of adversity and context to further advance our theoretical understanding of this construct.We conclude by discussing the implications of our proposed conceptualization and refinement of resilience for theory, research, and practice.

AB - Global field power is a valuable summary of multi-channel electroencephalography data. However, global field power is biased by the noise typical of electroencephalography experiments, so comparisons of global field power on data with unequal noise are invalid. Here, we demonstrate the relationship between the number of trials that contribute to a global field power measure and the expected value of that global field power measure. We also introduce a statistical testing procedure that can be used for multi-subject, repeated-measures (also called within-subjects) comparisons of global field power when the number of trials per condition is unequal across conditions. Simulations demonstrate the effect of unequal trial numbers on global field power comparisons and show the validity of the proposed test in contrast to conventional approaches. Finally, the proposed test and two alternative tests are applied to data collected in a rapid serial visual presentation target detection experiment. The results show that the proposed test finds global field power differences in the classical P3 range; the other tests find differences in that range but also at other times including at times before stimulus onset. These results are interpreted as showing that the proposed test is valid and sensitive to real within-subject differences in global field power in multi-subject unbalanced data.

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

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

AB - In the United States, college students must complete the Free Application for Student Federal Aid (FAFSA) to access federal aid. However, many eligible students do not apply and consequently forgo significant amounts of financial aid. If students have perfect information about aid eligibility, we would expect that all eligible students complete FAFSA and no aid would go unclaimed. Using data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey, I estimate a multinomial logit model which controls for all variables that contribute to aid eligibility and other student characteristics that may deter FAFSA completion. I find that students who are lower middle income, white, male and independent from parents are less likely to complete FAFSA even when they are eligible for aid. Using propensity score matching, I find that each year applicants forgo $9,741.05 in total aid (including grant and loan aid) which includes $1,281.00 of Pell Grants, $2,439.50 of the balance subsidized student loans, $1,986.65 of the balance of unsubsidized student loans, and $1,016.04 of institutional grants. These aid totals aggregate to $24 billion annually. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - The research on representative bureaucracy investigates whether higher levels of representation within public agencies affect policy outcomes. We expand this line of inquiry by examining the effect of symbolic representation on the clients’ perceptions of the vocational rehabilitation program administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. We test the link between passive representation and symbolic representation for Veteran identity. This is one of the first studies to investigate an identity not associated with immutable characteristics. We question how an identity related to a profession that an individual selects into, like Veteran status, can influence a client’s relationship with a government program. We find that Veteran clients of the vocational rehabilitation system perceive substantial differences in the behaviors of their counselor and report significantly higher levels of overall satisfaction with the program when they know or believe their counselor is also a Veteran.

AB - Objective: This report, first in a series of five, directly compares the efficacy of 4 decontamination products and Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents (SERPACWA) in the haired guinea pig model following exposure to VX. Methods: In all experiments, guinea pigs were close-clipped and given anesthesia. In the decontamination experiments, the animals were challenged with VX and decontaminated after a 2-minute delay for the standard procedure or at longer times for the delayed-decontamination experiments. Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents was applied as a thin coating (0.1 mm thick), allowed to dry for 15 minutes, and challenged with VX. After a 2-hour challenge, any remaining VX was blotted off the animal, but no additional decontamination was done. Positive control animals were challenged with VX in the same manner as the treated animals, except that they received no treatment. In addition, the positive control animals were always challenged with 5% VX in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution, whereas the treatment animals received either neat (undiluted) VX or 5% VX in IPA solution. All animals were observed during the first 4 hours and again at 24 hours after exposure for signs of toxicity and death. The protective ratio (PR, defined as the median lethal dose [LD50] of the treatment group divided by the LD50 of the untreated positive control animals) was calculated from the probit dose--response curves established for each treatment group and nontreated control animals. Significance in this report was defined as p < .05. Results: In the standard 2-minute neat VX decontamination experiments, the calculated PRs for Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion (RSDL), 0.5% bleach, 1% soapy water, and the M291 Skin Decontamination Kit (SDK) were 66, 17, 16, and 1.1, respectively. Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion was by far the most effective decontamination product tested and was significantly better than any of the other products. Bleach and soapy water provided equivalent and good (PR > 5) protection. They were both significantly better than the M291 SDK. The M291 SDK did not provide significant protection compared with positive controls. In the neat VX delayed-decontamination experiments, the calculated LT50 (the delayed-decontamination time at which 50% of the animals died in the test population following a 5-LD50 challenge) values for RSDL, 0.5% bleach, and 1% soapy water were 31, 48, and 26 minutes, respectively. The results showed that SERPACWA provided significant, but modest (PR < 5), protection against neat VX, with a PR of 2.1. Conclusions: Several conclusions can be drawn from this study: 1) RSDL provided superior protection against VX compared with the other products tested; 2) 0.5% bleach and 1% soapy water were less effective than RSDL, but still provided good protection against VX; 3) the M291 SDK was the least effective decontamination product and did not provide significant protection against VX; 4) the agent was observed to streak when using the M291 SDK, and efficacy may improve if the agent is first blotted, followed by wiping with a new or clean part of the M291 SDK pad; 5) RSDL, 0.5% bleach, and 1% soapy water provided significant protection against a 5-LD50 challenge of VX, even when decontamination was delayed for up to about 30 minutes; and 6) SERPACWA provided significant, but modest, protection against VX.

AB - Objective: This report, the second in a series of five, directly compares the efficacy of Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion (RSDL), the M291 Skin Decontamination Kit (SDK), 0.5% bleach (sodium or calcium hypochlorite solution), 1% soapy water, and Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents (SERPACWA) in the haired guinea pig model following exposure to soman (GD). Methods: In all experiments, guinea pigs were close-clipped and given anesthesia. In the decontamination experiments, the animals were challenged with GD and decontaminated after a 2-minute delay for the standard procedure or at longer times for the delayed-decontamination experiments. Positive control animals were challenged with GD in the same manner as the treated animals, except that they received no treatment. All animals were observed during the first 4 hours and again at 24 hours after exposure for signs of toxicity and death. The protective ratio (PR, defined as the median lethal dose [LD50] of the treatment group divided by the LD50 of the untreated positive control animals) was calculated from the derived probit dose--response curves established for each treatment group and nontreated control animals. SERPACWA was applied as a thin coating (0.1 mm thick), allowed to dry for 15 minutes, and challenged with GD. After a 2-hour challenge, any remaining GD was blotted off the animal, but no additional decontamination was done. Significance in this report is defined as p <.05. Neat (undiluted) GD was used to challenge all animals in these studies. Results: In the standard 2-minute GD decontamination experiments, the calculated PRs for RSDL, 0.5% bleach, 1% soapy water, and M291 SDK were 14, 2.7, 2.2, and 2.6, respectively. RSDL was by far the most effective decontamination product tested and significantly better than any of the other products. Bleach, soapy water, and the M291 SDK provided equivalent and modest protection. Since only RSDL provided at least good protection (PR > 5), it was the only decontamination product evaluated for delayed decontamination. In the GD delayed-decontamination experiments, the calculated LT50 (the delayed-decontamination time at which 50% of the animals die in the test population following a 5-LD50 challenge) value for RSDL was only 4.0 minutes. Conclusions: Several conclusions can be drawn from this study: 1) Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion provided superior protection against GD compared with the other products tested; 2) The 0.5% bleach solution, the 1% soapy water solution, and the M291 SDK were less effective than RSDL, but still provided modest (2 < PR < 5) protection against GD; 3) Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion, the best product tested, did not provide significant protection against GD when decontamination was delayed for more than 3 minutes; 4) Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents provided significant, but modest, protection against GD; 5) There was good correlation between using the rabbit model and the guinea pig model for decontamination efficacy evaluations; and 6) Soman (GD) is an agent of real concern because it is very difficult to decontaminate and the effects ofexposure are difficult to treat.

AB - As military conflicts around the world persist, a comprehensive approach in managing behavioral health issues will continue to be a key component of military healthcare. Deployed military personnel frequently exposed to trauma are well-known to be at high risk for developing behavioral health disorders, including combat stress reactions and posttraumatic stress disorder. In the U.S. Army, members of combat operational stress control (COSC) units have unique skills to assist soldiers and their families not only throughout all phases of a deployment, but also throughout a soldier's entire career. The purposes of this article are twofold, first to describe the role of COSC operations with an emphasis on interventions in a deployed environment. The second purpose is to present a case study from Operation Iraqi Freedom highlighting the efficacy of the COSC approach to meet a Soldier's behavioral health needs in a deployed environment.

AB - The rapid development of new technologies such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics (Omics) are changing the way ecotoxicology is practiced. The data deluge has begun with genomes of over 65 different aquatic species that are currently being sequenced, and many times that number with at least some level of transcriptome sequencing. Integrating these top-down methodologies is an essential task in the field of systems biology. Systems biology is a biology-based interdisciplinary field that focuses on complex interactions in biological systems, with the intent to model and discover emergent properties of the system. Recent studies demonstrate that Omics technologies provide valuable insight into ecotoxicity, both in laboratory exposures with model organisms and with animals exposed in the field. However, these approaches require a context of the whole animal and population to be relevant. Powerful approaches using reverse engineering to determine interacting networks of genes, proteins, or biochemical reactions are uncovering unique responses to toxicants. Modeling efforts in aquatic animals are evolving to interrelate the interacting networks of a system and the flow of information linking these elements. Just as is happening in medicine, systems biology approaches that allow the integration of many different scales of interaction and information are already driving a revolution in understanding the impacts of pollutants on aquatic systems.

AB - Potentially toxic nitroaromatic and nitramine compounds are introduced onto soils during detonation of explosives. The present study was conducted to investigate the desorption and transformation of explosive compounds loaded onto three soils through controlled detonation. The soils were proximally detonated with Composition B, a commonly used military explosive containing 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and octahydro 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX). Gas-exchangeable surface areas were measured from pristine and detonated soils. Aqueous batches of detonated soils were prepared by mixing each soil with ultrapure water. Samples were collected for 141 d and concentrations of Composition B compounds and TNT transformation products 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2ADNT), 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4ADNT), and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (1,3,5-TNB) were measured. The RDX, HMX, and TNT concentrations in detonated soil batches exhibited first-order physical desorption for the first, roughly, 10 d and then reached steady state apparent equilibrium within 40 d. An aqueous batch containing powdered Composition B in water was sampled over time to quantify TNT, RDX, and HMX dissolution from undetonated Composition B particles. The TNT, RDX, and HMX concentrations in aqueous batches of pure Composition B reached equilibrium within 6, 11, and 20 d, respectively. Detonated soils exhibited lower gas-exchangeable surface areas than their pristine counterparts. This is likely due to an explosive residue coating on detonated soil surfaces, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion of soil particles under the intense heat associated with detonation. Our results suggest that explosive compounds loaded to soils through detonation take longer to reach equilibrium concentrations in aqueous batches than soils loaded with explosive residues through aqueous addition. This is likely due to the heterogeneous interactions between explosive residues and soil particle surfaces. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2011;30:345-353. © 2010 SETAC [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The results of a numerical model study of probable maximum flood (PMF) flow through a system of spillways consisting of an existing service spillway and a new auxiliary spillway are presented. A commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, Fluent, was used to solve the time-dependent Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, a standard turbulence k-[variant_greek_epsilon] model with wall functions, and a water volume of fluid fraction equation. A two-dimensional approach velocity profile was used at the upstream inlet cross section. Water levels, flow splits between the existing and auxiliary spillways, and flow patterns were predicted and compared. A tentative design was chosen, constructed, and tested in a 1:54 scale physical model. Testing results were used to validate the CFD model. Results demonstrate that the CFD model is validated as accurate in the prediction of water levels in the reservoir, the integrated approach used is cost-effective and efficient in optimizing the designs of the auxiliary spillway, the tentative design cannot pass the PMF at the maximum pool level which suggests further modifications being necessary in the physical model.

AB - Background: This commentary evolved from a workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences titled "Superfund Contaminants: The Next Generation" held in Tucson, Arizona, in August 2009. All the authors were workshop participants. Objectives: Our aim was to initiate a dynamic, adaptable process for identifying contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) that are likely to be found in future hazardous waste sites, and to identify the gaps in primary research that cause uncertainty in determining future hazardous waste site contaminants. Discussion: Superfund-relevant CECs can be characterized by specific attributes: They are persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic, occur in large quantities, and have localized accumulation with a likelihood of exposure. Although still under development and incompletely applied, methods to quantify these attributes can assist in winnowing down the list of candidates from the universe of potential CECs. Unfortunately, significant research gaps exist in detection and quantification, environmental fate and transport, health and risk assessment, and site exploration and remediation for CECs. Addressing these gaps is prerequisite to a preventive approach to generating and managing hazardous waste sites. Conclusions: A need exists for a carefully considered and orchestrated expansion of programmatic and research efforts to identify, evaluate, and manage CECs of hazardous waste site relevance, including developing an evolving list of priority CECs, intensifying the identification and monitoring of likely sites of present or future accumulation of CECs, and implementing efforts that focus on a holistic approach to prevention.

AB - Increases in soil freezing associated with decreases in snow cover have been identified as a significant disturbance to nitrogen (N) cycling in northern hardwood forests. We created a range of soil freezing intensity through snow manipulation experiments along an elevation gradient at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF) in the White Mountains, NH USA in order to improve understanding of the factors regulating freeze effects on nitrate (NO) leaching, nitrous oxide (NO) flux, potential and in situ net N mineralization and nitrification, microbial biomass carbon (C) and N content and respiration, and denitrification. While the snow manipulation treatment produced deep and persistent soil freezing at all sites, effects on hydrologic and gaseous losses of N were less than expected and less than values observed in previous studies at the HBEF. There was no relationship between frost depth, frost heaving and NO leaching, and a weak relationship between frost depth and winter NO flux. There was a significant positive relationship between dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and NO concentrations in treatment plots but not in reference plots, suggesting that the snow manipulation treatment mobilized available C, which may have stimulated retention of N and prevented treatment effects on N losses. While the results support the hypothesis that climate change resulting in less snow and more soil freezing will increase N losses from northern hardwood forests, they also suggest that ecosystem response to soil freezing disturbance is affected by multiple factors that must be reconciled in future research.

AB - This paper reviews the tissue residue approach (TRA) for toxicity assessment as it applies to organic chemicals and some organometallic compounds (Sn, Hg, and Pb) in aquatic organisms. Specific emphasis was placed on evaluating key factors that influence interpretation of critical body residue (CBR) toxicity metrics including data quality issues, lipid dynamics, choice of endpoints, processes that alter toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics, phototoxicity, species- and life stage-specific sensitivities, and biotransformation. The vast majority of data available on TRA is derived from laboratory studies of acute lethal responses to organic toxicants exhibiting baseline toxicity. Application of the TRA to various baseline toxicants as well as substances with specific modes of action via receptor-mediated processes, such as chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and organometallics is discussed, as is application of TRA concepts in field assessments of tissue residues. In contrast to media-based toxicity relationships, CBR values tend to be less variable and less influenced by factors that control bioavailability and bioaccumulation, and TRA can be used to infer mechanisms of toxic action, evaluate the toxicity of mixtures, and interpret field data on bioaccumulated toxicants. If residue-effects data are not available, body residues can be estimated, as has been done using the target lipid model for baseline toxicants, to derive critical values for risk assessment. One of the primary unresolved issues complicating TRA for organic chemicals is biotransformation. Further work on the influence of biotransformation, a better understanding of contaminant lipid interactions, and an explicit understanding of the time dependency of CBRs and receptor-mediated toxicity are all required to advance this field. Additional residue-effects data on sublethal endpoints, early life stages, and a wider range of legacy and emergent contaminants will be needed to improve the ability to use TRA for organic and organometallic compounds.

AB - The objective of this work is to present a critical review of the application of the tissue residue approach (TRA) in ecological risk and/or impact assessment (ERA) of chemical stressors and environmental criteria development. A secondary goal is to develop a framework for integrating the TRA into ecological assessments along with traditional, exposure concentration-based assessment approaches. Although widely recognized for its toxicological appeal, the utility of the TRA in specific applications will depend on numerous factors, such as chemical properties, exposure characteristics, assessment type, availability of tissue residue-response data, and ability to quantify chemical exposure. Therefore, the decision to use the TRA should include an evaluation of the relative strengths, limitations, and uncertainties among exposure and residue-based methods for characterizing toxicological effects. Furthermore, rather than supplanting exposure concentration-based toxicity assessments, the TRA can be highly effective for evaluating and reducing uncertainty when used in a complementary manner (e.g., when evaluating multiple lines of evidence in field studies). To address limitations with the available tissue residue-response data, approaches for extrapolating residue-based toxicity data across species, tissues, and exposure durations are discussed. Some of these approaches rely on predicted residue-response relationships or toxicological models that have an implicit residue-response basis (e.g., biotic ligand model). Because risk to an organism is a function of both its exposure potential and inherent sensitivity (i.e., on a residue basis), bioaccumulation models will be required not only for translating tissue residue criteria into corresponding water and sediment criteria, but also for defining the most vulnerable species in an assemblage (i.e., highly exposed and highly sensitive species). Application of the TRA in ecological assessments and criteria development are summarized for bioaccumulative organic chemicals, TBT, and in situ bioassays using bivalve molluscs.

AB - The toxicological effects of many stressors are mediated through unknown, or incompletely characterized, mechanisms of action. The application of reverse engineering complex interaction networks from high dimensional omics data (gene, protein, metabolic, signaling) can be used to overcome these limitations. This approach was used to characterize adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) for chemicals that disrupt the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal endocrine axis in fathead minnows (FHM, Pimephales promelas). Gene expression changes in FHM ovaries in response to seven different chemicals, over different times, doses, and in vivo versus in vitro conditions, were captured in a large data set of 868 arrays. Potential AOPs of the antiandrogen flutamide were examined using two mutual information-based methods to infer gene regulatory networks and potential AOPs. Representative networks from these studies were used to predict network paths from stressor to adverse outcome as candidate AOPs. The relationship of individual chemicals to an adverse outcome can be determined by following perturbations through the network in response to chemical treatment, thus leading to the nodes associated with the adverse outcome. Identification of candidate pathways allows for formation of testable hypotheses about key biological processes, biomarkers, or alternative endpoints that can be used to monitor an AOP. Finally, the unique challenges facing the application of this approach in ecotoxicology were identified and a road map for the utilization of these tools presented. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - When using multiobjective decision analysis with an additive value/utility model, we may define local ranges of the value measures that are bounded by the set of alternatives, or we can define global ranges of the value measures that are bounded by our preferences for some future set of alternatives. Local value models use the full value space defined by the alternatives to distinguish between the alternatives. Global value models may identify new objectives and may help us develop better alternatives, but the alternatives do not usually span the full global value space. We present a mathematical transformation of a global value model's single-dimensional value functions and swing weights to a decision-focused value model using the global value, alternative scores, and transformation equations. When the transformation is appropriate, the decision-focused value model can provide useful distinctions to better communicate the trade-offs between alternatives. We prove that the transformation preserves the rank ordering of the alternatives, and we discuss the appropriate conditions for use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In many practical applications snow depth is known, but snow water equivalent (SWE) is needed as well. Measuring SWE takes ∼∼20 times as long as measuring depth, which in part is why depth measurements outnumber SWE measurements worldwide. Here a method of estimating snow bulk density is presented and then used to convert snow depth to SWE. The method is grounded in the fact that depth varies over a range that is many times greater than that of bulk density. Consequently, estimates derived from measured depths and modeled densities generally fall close to measured values of SWE. Knowledge of snow climate classes is used to improve the accuracy of the estimation procedure. A statistical model based on a Bayesian analysis of a set of 25 688 depth--density--SWE data collected in the United States, Canada, and Switzerland takes snow depth, day of the year, and the climate class of snow at a selected location from which it produces a local bulk density estimate. When converted to SWE and tested against two continental-scale datasets, 90%% of the computed SWE values fell within ±±8 cm of the measured values, with most estimates falling much closer.

AB - The degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB- co-4HB)) coated brown Kraft paper and its components in a constructed soil environment was investigated. Soil burial tests were carried out over 8 weeks. Weight loss measurements, photographic analysis, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were conducted to assess the physical, structural, mechanical and thermal behavior before and after the soil burial test. Paper showed the highest physical degradation and weight loss. With respect to the control samples, the stiffness of the partially degraded samples decreased. The overall crystallinity of the biopolymer and the coated paper was affected significantly by burial. The pure biopolymer's weight loss was substantially enhanced when coated on paper. This result reveals a possible increased microbial population in the coated paper relative to the pure biopolymer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The volume of sediment required to perform a sediment toxicity bioassay is a major driver of the overall cost associated with that bioassay. Sediment volume affects bioassay cost because of sediment collection, transportation, storage, and disposal costs as well as labor costs associated with organism recovery at the conclusion of the exposure. The objective of the current study was to evaluate reduced sediment volume versions of the standard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) 10-d acute Leptocheirus plumulosus method that uses a beaker size of 1,000 ml and 20 organisms. The test design used evaluated the effects of beaker size (250 and 100 ml) and associated sediment volume (75 and 30 ml, respectively) as well as organism loading density (10 and 20 organisms) on test endpoint responsiveness relative to the standard 10-d test method. These comparisons were completed with three different types of contaminated sediments: a field-collected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated sediment, a lead-spiked control sediment, and a control sediment spiked with mineral oil. Assessment criteria included test endpoint sensitivity, endpoint consistency, statistical power, water quality, and logistical assessments. Results indicate that the current U.S. EPA method is preferable to the reduced sediment volume methods we assessed, but that a 250-ml beaker/10 organism experimental design is of comparable utility and may be advantageous when reduced sediment volumes are desirable because of high contaminant (spiking studies) or sediment disposal costs. In addition, the results of the current study provide toxicity reference values for PAHs, lead, and an oil surrogate for petroleum hydrocarbons. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - Birds are exposed to Pb by oral ingestion of spent Pb shot as grit. A paucity of data exists for retention and clearance of these particles in the bird gastrointestinal tract. In the current study, northern bobwhite quail ( Colinus virginianus) were orally gavaged with 1, 5, or 10 Pb shot pellets, of 2-mm diameter, and radiographically followed over time. Blood Pb levels and other measures of toxicity were collected, to correlate with pellet retention. Quail dosed with either 5 or 10 pellets exhibited morbidity between weeks 1 and 2 and were removed from further study. Most of the Pb pellets were absorbed or excreted within 14 d of gavage, independent of dose. Pellet size in the ventriculus decreased over time in radiographs, suggesting dissolution caused by the acidic pH. Birds dosed with one pellet showed mean blood Pb levels that exceeded 1,300 µg/dl at week 1, further supporting dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract. Limited signs of toxicity were seen in the one-pellet birds; however, plasma δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (d-ALAD) activity was persistently depressed, suggesting possible impaired hematological function.

AB - An adjustable shear stress straight flume commonly used to measure cohesive sediment erosion rates has been modified to include downstream bed load traps. The new flume can be used not only to measure erosion rates, but also to analyze and quantify the modes of transport for this complex problem. The new device was used to study transport modes of quartz particles ranging in size from 19 to 1,250 μm. As expected, the traps captured the coarse material (bed load) and the fine material bypassed the traps (suspended load). Transport properties of natural sediments from three locations were also studied. Fine sediments with little or no sand eroded as aggregates which maintained their integrity in the flume channel while moving as bed load into the traps. Natural sediments that included high percentage of sand also eroded as aggregates. However, these aggregates quickly disaggregated. Sand moved as bed load and fell into the traps while fine particles moved predominately in suspension. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper presents the results of a combined laboratory and numerical investigation into the role of infragravity motions in the wave runup process over fringing coral reefs. Laboratory experiments were performed with a reef profile typical of fringing reef systems along the southeast coast of Guam. Spectral analysis of the measured time histories of surface elevation over the reef face and flats show significant changes to the wave energy spectrum shoreward of the break point. Most of the wave energy in the incident wave frequency band is dissipated within a few wavelengths of the reef face with the wave motions over the reef flat and shoreline dominated by oscillations at infragravity periods [O(100s) prototype]. The infragravity wave energy is minimum at the reef crest and increases as waves propagate shoreward over the reef flat and also with increasing water level on the reef. The dominant infragravity mode is the first reef oscillation mode with a wavelength approximately equal to four times the width of the reef flat. This component is resonantly amplified at the shoreline relative to the incident infragravity energy at the reef crest. A numerical model based on the Boussinesq equations is applied to the laboratory data and is able to describe complex changes to the wave spectrum over the reef flat due to nonlinear wave-wave interactions and wave breaking as well as runup at the shoreline.

AB - The critical hydraulic configuration for a set of torque-tube gates controlling the flow through the navigable portion of a spillway was experimentally identified. In this paper, an analytical model for the upstream pressure field on a typical gate within the set is constructed. The gate rotation from the maximum elevation (gate in closed position) and the hydraulic torque transmitted by the pressure field to the gate tube are formulated. Mean values of parameters of response are often sufficient for the preliminary design of a gate. The dispersions of these parameters of response, which are necessary for the final design of a gate, may be computed using the corresponding mean-square values. These were obtained empirically in a flume from experiments on a 1/15-scale physical model of a set of three prototype gates for the Montgomery Point Lock and Dam project. Theoretical predictions of parameter mean and mean-square values compare well with the average corresponding statistics obtained experimentally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - As jet fuel is a common occupational exposure among military and civilian populations, this study was conducted to characterize jet fuel (JP8) exposure among active duty U.S. Air Force personnel. Personnel (n = 24) were divided a priori into high, moderate, and low exposure groups. Questionnaires and personal air samples (breathing zone) were collected from each worker over 3 consecutive days (72 worker-days) and analyzed for total hydrocarbons (THC), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and naphthalene. Air samples were collected from inside the fuel tank and analyzed for the same analytes. Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate the exposure data. Our results show that the correlation of THC (a measure of overall JP8 inhalation exposure) with all other analytes was moderate to strong in the a priori high and moderate exposure groups combined. Inhalation exposure to all analytes varied significantly by self-reported JP8 exposure (THC levels higher among workers reporting JP8 exposure), a priori exposure group (THC levels in high group > moderate group > low group), and more specific job task groupings (THC levels among workers in fuel systems hangar group > refueling maintenance group > fuel systems office group > fuel handling group > clinic group), with task groupings explaining the most between-worker variability. Among highly exposed workers, statistically significant job task-related predictors of inhalation exposure to THC indicated that increased time in the hangar, working close to the fuel tank (inside > less than 25 ft > greater than 25 ft), primary job (entrant > attendant/runner/fireguard > outside hangar), and performing various tasks near the fuel tank, such as searching for a leak, resulted in higher JP8 exposure. This study shows that while a priori exposure groups were useful in distinguishing JP8 exposure levels, job task-based categories should be considered in epidemiologic study designs to improve exposure classification. Finally, the strong correlation of THC with naphthalene suggests that naphthalene may be an appropriate surrogate of JP8 exposure. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.

AB - Objective: This article reviews instructional features used in demonstration-based training (DBT).Background: The need for fast and effective training and performance support that can be accessed from anywhere is a growing need for organizations. DBT programs are one method to address these needs, but a better understanding of how to maximize the effectiveness of DBT activities is needed. Specifically, beyond the content of the demonstration (i.e., the dynamic example of task performance), what instructional features (i.e., information and activities in addition to the demonstration) can be used to improve the effectiveness of DBT interventions?Method:The authors conducted a systematic review of the applied and basic science literatures relevant to DBT.Results: Instructional features in DBT can be categorized according to the degree to which they encourage active learner involvement (i.e., active vs. passive), when they occur relative to viewing the demonstration (i.e., pre-, during-, and postdemonstration conditions), and the observational learning process they are intended to augment. Five categories of instructional features are described: passive guidance or support, preparatory activities, concurrent activities, retrospective activities, and prospective activities.Conclusion: There is a wide variety of instructional features used in DBT, but more systematic research is needed to understand the conditions under which each is most effective as well as to outline a method for sequencing of demonstration with other delivery methods, such as practice opportunities.Application: The framework presented in this article can help guide the systematic development of training systems incorporating DBT as well as provide a direction for future research.

AB - The general phylogeographical paradigm for eastern North America (ENA) is that many plant and animal species retreated into southern refugia during the last glacial period, then expanded northward after the last glacial maximum (LGM). However, some taxa of the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain (GACP) demonstrate complex yet recurrent distributional patterns that cannot be explained by this model. For example, eight co-occurring endemic plant taxa with ranges from New York to South Carolina exhibit a large disjunction separating northern and southern populations by >300 km. Pyxidanthera (Diapensiaceae), a plant genus that exhibits this pattern, consists of two taxa recognized as either species or varieties. We investigated the taxonomy and phylogeography of Pyxidanthera using morphological data, cpDNA sequences, and amplified fragment length polymorphism markers. Morphological characters thought to be important in distinguishing Pyxidanthera barbulata and P. brevifolia demonstrate substantial overlap with no clear discontinuities. Genetic differentiation is minimal and diversity estimates for northern and southern populations of Pxyidanthera are similar, with no decrease in rare alleles in northern populations. In addition, the northern populations harbour several unique cpDNA haplotypes. Pyxidanthera appears to consist of one morphologically variable species that persisted in or near its present range at least through the latter Pleistocene, while the vicariance of the northern and southern populations may be comparatively recent. This work demonstrates that the refugial paradigm is not always appropriate and GACP endemic plants, in particular, may exhibit phylogeographical patterns qualitatively different from those of other ENA plant species.

AB - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in Lake Ontario watershed sediments were assessed for benthic bioavailability through the use of biota-sediment accumulation factors. Sediments from lake and Rochester Harbor (lower Genesee River) areas were investigated. Congeners 47, 66, 85, 99 and 100 were detected in tissues of the oligochaete Lumbriculus variegatus. Biota-sediment accumulation factors ranged from 3.95 (congener 154) to 19.5 (congener 28) and were higher at the Lake Ontario area. The lower biota-sediment accumulation factors for the Rochester Harbor sediment may result from a higher fraction of black carbon generally expected in highly urbanized rivers. Degree of bromination may reduce bioavailability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A probabilistic hydrodynamic model for the wet and dry zone on a permeable structure is developed to predict irregular wave action on the structure above the still water level. The model is based on the time-averaged continuity and momentum equations for nonlinear shallow-water waves coupled with the exponential probability distribution of the water depth. The model predicts the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the water depth and horizontal velocity. The model is compared with four test series in which measurement was made of the wave overtopping rate and probability as well as the water depth, velocity, and discharge exceeded by 2% of incident 1,000 waves. The agreement is mostly within a factor of 2. Damage progression of a stone armor layer is predicted by modifying a formula for bed load on beaches with input from the hydrodynamic model. The damage progression model is compared with three tests that lasted up to 28.5 h. The model predicts the eroded area of the damaged armor layer well but overpredicts the deposited area because it does not account for discrete stone units deposited at a distance seaward of the toe of the damaged armor layer.

Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2010: 19: 361–372. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S Dams without fish passage facilities block access to much of the historic spawning habitat of spring Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in Oregon’s Willamette River basin. Adult salmon are routinely outplanted above the dams to supplement natural production, but many die before spawning despite extensive suitable habitat. In 2004–2007, we examined prespawn mortality patterns using live detection and carcass recovery data for 242 radio-tagged outplants. Total prespawn mortality was 48%, but variability was high, ranging from 0% to 93% for individual release groups. Prespawn mortality was strongly condition dependent, consistently higher for females than males and higher for early release groups. Across years, warm water temperature in the migration corridor and at the collection site was associated with sharply higher mortality. Results highlight a need for better evaluations of the effects of adult mortality on population reintroduction and recovery and relationships among prespawn mortality, dam-related temperature change and salmon life history and behaviour.

AB - Earthen levees are designed for little wave overtopping during a design storm, but excessive overtopping and overflow can occur due to the combined effects of an extreme storm, sea level rise, and land subsidence. The transition from little wave overtopping to excessive wave overtopping and overflow on an impermeable smooth levee is examined in waveflume experiments consisting of 107 tests. Existing empirical formulas are shown to be applicable to the cases of excessive wave overtopping and overflow in these tests. A numerical model based on time-averaged continuity, momentum, and wave action equations is connected to a new probabilistic model for the wet-and-dry zone, in order to predict the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the free surface elevation and depth-averaged fluid velocity from outside the surf zone to the inner slope of the levee. The new model is calibrated to predict the measured overtopping and overflow rates within a factor of about two. The agreement is also shown to be similar for the water depths and velocities measured in the wet-and-dry zone on six different structures in 100 Dutch tests. The developed hydrodynamic model is coupled with new formulas for suspended-sand and bedload transport rates to predict dune erosion and overwash. The coupled model is compared with two small-scale tests on dune erosion with minor overwash, three large-scale tests on dune erosion, and field data on dune erosion and overwash due to severe storms lasting several days. The overwashed-dune profiles are predicted reasonably well, but the coupled model will need to be evaluated using measurements of wave overtopping and overwash rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The present study evaluated sorbent amendments for in situ remediation of sediments contaminated with two divalent metals. A literature review screening was performed to identify low-cost natural mineral-based metal sorbents and high-performance commercial sorbents that were carried forward into laboratory experiments. Aqueous phase metal sorptivity of the selected sorbents was evaluated because dissolved metals in sediment porewater constitute an important route of exposure to benthic organisms. Based on pH-edge sorption test results, natural sorbents were eliminated due to inferior performance. The potential as in situ sediment amendment was explored by comparing the sorption properties of the engineered amendments in freshwater and saltwater (10 PPT salinity estuarine water) matrices. Self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports with thiols (Thiol-SAMMS™) and a titanosilicate mineral (ATS™) demonstrated the highest sorption capacity for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), respectively. Sequential extraction tests conducted after mixing engineered sorbents with contaminated sediment demonstrated transfer of metal contaminants from a weakly bound state to a more strongly bound state. Biouptake of Cd in a freshwater oligochaete was reduced by 98% after 5-d contact of sediment with 4% Thiol-SAMMS and sorbed Cd was not bioavailable. While treatment with ATS reduced the small easily extractable portion of Pb in the sediment, the change in biouptake of Pb was not significant because most of the native lead was strongly bound. The selected sorbents added to sediments at a dose of 5% were mostly nontoxic to a range of sensitive freshwater and estuarine benthic organisms. Metal sorbent amendments in conjunction with activated carbon have the potential to simultaneously reduce metal and hydrophobic contaminant bioavailability in sediments. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - Tungsten, in the form of tungstate, polymerizes with phosphate, and as extensive polymerization occurs, cellular phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reactions may be disrupted, resulting in negative effects on cellular functions. A series of studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of tungsten on several phosphate-dependent intracellular functions, including energy cycling (ATP), regulation of enzyme activity (cytosolic protein tyrosine kinase [cytPTK] and tyrosine phosphatase), and intracellular secondary messengers (cyclic adenosine monophosphate [cAMP]). Rat noncancerous hepatocyte (Clone-9), rat cancerous hepatocyte (H4IIE), and human cancerous hepatocyte (HepG2) cells were exposed to 1–1000 mg/l tungsten (in the form of sodium tungstate) for 24 h, lysed, and analyzed for the above biochemical parameters. Cellular ATP levels were not significantly affected in any cell line. After 4 h, tungsten significantly decreased cytPTK activity in Clone-9 cells at ≥ 18 mg/l, had no effect in H4IIE cells, and significantly increased cytPTK activity by 70% in HepG2 cells at ≥ 2 mg/l. CytPTK displayed a slight hormetic response to tungsten after 24-h exposure yet returned to normal after 48-h exposure. Tungsten significantly increased cAMP by over 60% in Clone-9 cells at ≥ 100 mg/l, significantly increased cAMP in H4IIE cells at only 100 mg/l, and significantly increased cAMP in HepG2 cells between 1–100 mg/l but at much more modest levels (8–20%). In conclusion, these data indicate that tungsten produces complex results that must be carefully interpreted in the context of their respective animal models, as well as the phenotype of the cell lines (i.e., normal vs. cancerous).

AB - Numerous studies have attempted to address the land–precipitation coupling, but scientists’ understanding remains limited and discrepancies still exist from different studies. A new parameter Γ is proposed here to estimate the land–precipitation coupling strength based on the ratio of the covariance between monthly or seasonal precipitation and evaporation anomalies (from their climatological means) over the variance of precipitation anomalies. The Γ value is easy to compute and insensitive to the horizontal scales used; however, it does not provide causality. A relatively high Γ is a necessary—but not sufficient—condition for a relatively strong land–precipitation coupling. A computation of Γ values using two global reanalyses (ECMWF and NCEP), one regional reanalysis [North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR)], and observed precipitation along with Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC)-derived evaporation data indicates that the land–precipitation coupling is stronger in summer and weaker in winter. The strongest coupling (i.e., hot spots) occurs over the western and central parts of North America, part of the Eurasia midlatitude, and Sahel in boreal summer and over most of Australia, Argentina, and South Africa in austral summer. The Community Climate System Model, version 3 (CCSM3) shows much higher Γ values, consistent with the strong coupling shown by its atmosphere–land coupled components in previous studies. Its overall spatial pattern of Γ values is not affected much over most regions by the doubling of CO2 in CCSM3. The Γ values from the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) are more realistic than those from CCSM3; however, they are still higher than those from observations over North America.

AB - 1. Ecotypes may arise following allopatric separation from source populations. The simultaneous transfer of an exotic plant to a novel environment, along with its stenophagous herbivore, may complicate more traditional patterns of divergence from the plant and insect source populations. 2. The present study evaluated herbivory effects by two Cyrtobagous salviniae ecotypes on two species of Salvinia: the larger S. molesta and the smaller S. minima. Evaluations were based on relative growth rates, biomass production, coverage, and nutrient cycling in a series of complementary and comparative laboratory and outdoor tank experiments. 3. In general, the experiment results indicated that the smaller Florida ecotype of C. salviniae impacted both Salvinia species more than the larger Brazil ecotype. Herbivory, especially by the Florida ecotype, also improved water quality and accelerated nutrient cycling by increasing the rates of litterfall from the standing crops of salvinia. 4. The smaller size of the Florida ecotype may be adaptive by allowing maximal exploitation of host plants via internal larval feeding, which presumably reduces predation risk while increasing damage to the plant. These findings provide support for relying on the suppressive effects of the Florida ecotype in Florida, rather than introducing the Brazil ecotype to counter new infestations of S. molesta.

AB - Near-lethal exposure to nerve agents produces prolonged epileptiform seizures requiring the administration of benzodiazepine anticonvulsant drugs, such as diazepam. Clinically, benzodiazepines are reported to lose anticonvulsant effectiveness the greater the delay between seizure onset and benzodiazepine treatment. This time-dependent diminished effectiveness of diazepam was tested in the present study. Seizures elicited by the nerve agent, soman, were produced in guinea pigs instrumented to record brain electrocorticographic (ECoG) activity. Different groups of animals were administered 10 mg/kg, intramuscularly, of diazepam at 5, 40, 60, 80, or 160 minutes after the onset of seizure activity. There was a progressive loss in the anticonvulsant efficacy of diazepam as the treatment was delayed after seizure onset, but no differences in the time for diazepam to stop seizures. The results show a diminished ability of diazepam to stop nerve-agent–induced seizures the longer treatment is delayed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Though environmental impacts of dredging have been studied, no efforts have been applied to the evaluation of air emissions from comparable types of dredging equipment, as in this study. This study provides a procedure to include air emissions resulting from the combustion of diesel fuel during dredging operations into the dredging equipment selection decision-making process. The proposed procedure includes a limited life cycle assessment and is demonstrated for typical dredging methods and data from the Illinois Waterway as performed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, Ill. It was found that commonly used rules of thumb in the dredging industry hold true by indicating that mechanical bucket dredges are better suited for long transport distances and have lower air emissions and cost per cubic meter (m3) for smaller quantities of dredged material. In addition, the results show that a cutterhead pipeline dredge would be preferable for moderate and large volumes of dredged material when no additional booster pumps are required. Finally, the results indicate that production rates can be a significant factor when evaluating the air emissions from comparable dredging equipment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Nano-sized aluminum is currently being used by the military and commercial industries in many applications including coatings, thermites, and propellants. Due to the potential for wide dispersal in soil systems, we chose to investigate the fate and effects of nano-sized aluminum oxide (Al2O3), the oxidized form of nano aluminum, in a terrestrial organism. The toxicity and bioaccumulation potential of micron-sized (50–200 µm, nominal) and nano-sized (11 nm, nominal) Al2O3 was comparatively assessed through acute and subchronic bioassays using the terrestrial earthworm, Eisenia fetida. Subchronic (28-d) studies were performed exposing E. fetida to nano- and micron-sized Al2O3-spiked soils to assess the effects of long-term exposure. No mortality occurred in subchronic exposures, although reproduction decreased at ≥3,000 mg/kg nano-sized Al2O3 treatments, with higher aluminum body burdens observed at 100 and 300 mg/kg; no reproductive effects were observed in the micron-sized Al2O3 treatments. In addition to toxicity and bioaccumulation bioassays, an acute (48-h) behavioral bioassay was conducted utilizing a soil avoidance wheel in which E. fetida were given a choice of habitat between control, nano-, or micron-sized Al2O3 amended soils. In the soil avoidance bioassays, E. fetida exhibited avoidance behavior toward the highest concentrations of micron- and nano-sized Al2O3 (>5,000 mg/kg) relative to control soils. Results of the present study indicate that nano-sized Al2O3 may impact reproduction and behavior of E. fetida, although at high levels unlikely to be found in the environment. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - During the last four years, significant effort has been devoted to understanding the effects that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita had on contaminant distribution and redistribution in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, and the surrounding Gulf Coast area. Elevated concentrations were found for inorganic contaminants (including As, Fe, Pb, and V), several organic pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and volatiles) and high concentration of bioaerosols, particularly Aeromonas and Vibrio. Data from different research groups confirm that some contaminant concentrations are elevated, that existing concentrations are similar to historical data, and that contaminants such as Pb and As may pose human health risks. Two data sets have been compiled in this article to serve as the foundation for preliminary risk assessments within greater New Orleans. Research from the present study suggests that children in highly contaminated areas of New Orleans may experience Pb exposure from soil ranging from 1.37 µg/d to 102 µg/d. These data are critical in the evaluation of children's health. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2010;29:1429–1437. © 2010 SETAC [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The past decade has seen increased international recognition of the importance of the services provided by natural ecosystems. It is unclear however whether such international awareness will lead to improved environmental management in many regions. We explore this issue by examining the specific case of fish migration and dams on the Mekong river. We determine that dams on the Mekong mainstem and major tributaries will have a major impact on the basin's fisheries and the people who depend upon them for food and income. We find no evidence that current moves towards dam construction will stop, and consider two scenarios for the future of the fisheries and other ecosystems of the basin. We conclude that major investment is required in innovative technology to reduce the loss of ecosystem services, and alternative livelihood strategies to cope with the losses that do occur.

AB - A calculation is presented that converts plant frequency per plot size sampled to expected frequency per any plot size of interest so as to compare studies that used different plot sizes or to assess degrees of spatial randomness in individual studies that used multiple plot sizes. Expected frequency is exponentially related to measured frequency, being dependent on plot size of interest relative to plot size from which measured frequency was obtained. Expected frequency per plot size of interest (Fe) may be expressed as Fe = 1 - (1 - Fs)r, where Fs is measured frequency per plot size sampled and r is the ratio of plot size of interest to plot size sampled. The calculation assumes that plants are randomly distributed, or approximately so, and criteria for presence of plants in plots are consistent in studies being compared. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In temperate ecosystems, hibernation allows bats to survive long periods of limited prey and water availability during colder months. Despite the extended amount of time some bats spend in hibernation, researchers have only recently been able to study the hibernation ecology of bats under natural conditions. With the emergence of white-nose syndrome (WNS), a mysterious disease presently killing large numbers of bats during the hibernation period in the northeastern United States, expanding our knowledge of hibernation ecology and natural history has become more crucial. To collect such data, we used temperature-sensitive radio transmitters and data loggers to monitor the skin temperatures (Tsk) of 6 bats (5 Myotis lucifugus [Little Brown Bat], and 1 Myotis septentrionalis [Northern Long-eared Bat]) hibernating in Mount Aeolus Cave, VT in late winter 2008. We recorded Tsk every 14 minutes for the life of the transmitters. We were able to monitor Tsk from near ambient temperatures to above 30 °C. Arousals occurred immediately before the signals were lost and at a time of increased numbers of bats observed on the landscape, thereby suggesting the emergence (and subsequent death) of bats. Our observations provide first data on the hibernating ecology of WNS-affected bats under natural conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A back propagation artificial neural network approach is applied to three common challenges in engineering geology: (1) characterization of subsurface geometry/position of the slip (or failure surface) of active landslides, (2) assessment of slope displacements based on ground water elevation and climate, and (3) assessment of groundwater elevations based on climate data. Series of neural network models are trained, validated, and applied to a landslide study along Lake Michigan and cases from the literature. The subsurface characterization results are also compared to a limit equilibrium circular failure surface search with specific adopted boundary conditions. It is determined that the neural network models predict slip surfaces better than the limit equilibrium slip surface search using the most conservative criteria. Displacements and groundwater elevations are also predicted fairly well, in real time. The models’ ability to predict displacements and groundwater elevations provides a foundational framework for building future warning systems with additional inputs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objective: This study examined whether benefits of conflict probe automation would occur in a future air traffic scenario in which air traffic service providers (ATSPs) are not directly responsible for freely maneuvering aircraft but are controlling other nonequipped aircraft (mixed-equipage environment). The objective was to examine how the type of automation imperfection (miss vs. false alarm) affects ATSP performance and attention allocation.Background: Research has shown that the type of automation imperfection leads to differential human performance costs.Method: Participating in four 30-min scenarios were 12 full-performance-level ATSPs. Dependent variables included conflict detection and resolution performance, eye movements, and subjective ratings of trust and self confidence.Results: ATSPs detected conflicts faster and more accurately with reliable automation, as compared with manual performance. When the conflict probe automation was unreliable, conflict detection performance declined with both miss (25% conflicts detected) and false alarm automation (50% conflicts detected).Conclusion: When the primary task of conflict detection was automated, even highly reliable yet imperfect automation (miss or false alarm) resulted in serious negative effects on operator performance.Application: The further in advance that conflict probe automation predicts a conflict, the greater the uncertainty of prediction; thus, designers should provide users with feedback on the state of the automation or other tools that allow for inspection and analysis of the data underlying the conflict probe algorithm.

AB - Adult Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) were previously recovered from emergence traps on septic tanks in southeastern Puerto Rico. In this study we quantified immature mosquito abundance and its relationship with structural variables of the septic tanks and chemical properties of the water containing raw sewage. A miniaturized floating funnel trap was used to sample 89 septic tanks for larvae in the Puerto Rican community of Playa-Playita. Aedes aegypti larvae were recovered from 18% of the sampled tanks (10.3 larvae per septic tank per day). Larval presence was positively associated with cracking of the septic tank walls and uncovered access ports. Larval abundance was positively associated with cracking of the septic tank walls and larger tank surface areas, and inversely associated with the total dissolved solids (TDS). Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) larvae were also recovered from 74% of the septic tanks (129.6 larvae per septic tank per day). Larval presence was negatively associated with TDS in the water and larval abundance was positively associated with cracking of the septic tank walls. A screened, plastic emergence trap was used to sample 93 septic tanks within the community for Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus adults. Aedes aegypti adults were recovered from 49% of the sampled tanks (8.7 adults per septic tank per day) and Cx. quinquefasciatus adults were recovered from 97% of the sampled tanks (155.5 adults per septic tank per day). Aedes aegypti adult presence was positively associated with cracking, uncapped openings and septic water pH. The Ae. aegypti adult counts were positively associated with cracking and inversely associated with TDS and conductivity. This study marks the first published record of the recovery of Ae. aegypti larvae from holding tanks containing raw sewage in the Caribbean region. Our study indicates that Ae. aegypti larvae are present in sewage water and that septic tanks have at least the potential to maintain dengue transmission during the dry season. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The vast majority of investigations into the bioavailability and toxicity of explosives to receptors in aquatic environments has focused on deriving toxicity metrics for discrete chemical exposures to single species using pure compounds at relatively high concentrations. This study assessed the environmental fate and potential for biological effects of a common military formulation, Composition B, under more realistic exposure scenarios (e.g., those that more closely simulate a breached artillery round or residual exposure following a low-order detonation). We used a novel approach incorporating multiple species and toxicity endpoints in sediment exposures over a 34-d exposure period. Composition B fragments exposed at the sediment surface rapidly released 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) to the overlying water column. In comparison, burial of fragments resulted in dramatically reduced exposure, bioconcentration, and toxicity. The addition of a conservative flow rate to the aquaria also reduced water and tissue concentrations by factors of two to three. Although the exposure system likely represented a worst-case scenario relative to most conditions found in coastal and estuarine environments, overlying water concentrations generally did not approach known toxicity thresholds, while porewater concentrations were sufficiently elevated above toxicity thresholds immediately adjacent to the fragments, limiting hazardous exposure only to very localized scales. Bioconcentration correlated closely with observed toxicity and was either not detectable (buried), or low (exposed), as is expected based on the low hydrophobicities of TNT and RDX. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - The aim of this study was to determine the potential for dietary uptake by trophic transfer using the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and the substantially more hydrophobic dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) utilizing the amphipods Leptocheirus plumulosus as prey and the fish Cyprinodon variegatus as predator. Bioaccumulation did not change significantly over time for TNT but apparent steady-state was not reached for DDT at exposure termination after 7 days of dietary exposure. The bioaccumulation factor was 0.09 mg/mg for TNT and 0.34 mg/mg for DDT, confirming the low potential of TNT to bioaccumulate in fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The modification of land and water resources for human use alters the natural hydrologic flow regime of a downstream receiving body of water. The natural flow regime is essential for sustaining biotic structure and equilibrium within the ecosystem. Best management practices mitigate the increased storm water runoff due to increased imperviousness and are typically designed and located within a watershed to match peak and minimum flows for a small set of targeted design storms. Ecosystems are, however, affected by all the characteristics of a long-term flow regime, including the magnitude, duration, frequency, and timing of flows. A more environmentally sustainable approach for watershed development is presented based on the minimization of differences in the characteristics of the flow regime between predevelopment and postdevelopment conditions. The indicator of hydrologic alteration (IHA) is a set of 33 hydrologic indices that characterize a flow regime and, coupled with the range of variability approach (RVA), can be used to evaluate a development strategy for its alteration of the long-term hydrologic flow regime. This paper presents a methodology to identify watershed management strategies that will have a minimal impact on the flow regime and downstream ecosystems. This methodology utilizes a metric that evaluates development strategies based on an IHA/RVA analysis implemented within a simulation-optimization framework. Continuous simulation of urban runoff for different land use strategies is enabled through the use of the storm water management model, and the resulting long-term hydrograph is analyzed using IHA/RVA. Development is allocated within subcatchments to maintain a predefined minimum level of total development while minimizing the hydrologic alteration. A hybrid optimization approach based on genetic algorithm and Nelder-Meade approaches is used to identify optimal land use allocation. Further analysis is conducted to identify alternative development patterns that allocate impervious development maximally differently among subcatchments while achieving similarly low alteration in the hydrologic flow regime.

AB - The use of lead in military and civilian small arms projectiles is widely acknowledged to have resulted in high soil lead concentrations at many small arms ranges. These ranges are often adjacent to wildlife habitat or have become habitat when no longer used. To assess the potential toxicity of lead to terrestrial amphibians in contaminated areas, we exposed 100 red-backed salamanders ( Plethodon cinereus) to either a control soil or one of four soil treatments amended with lead acetate for 28 days. Analytical mean soil concentrations were 14 (control), 553, 1700, 4700, and 9167 mg Pb/kg soil dry weight. An additional 60 salamanders were also exposed for 28 days to one of six field-collected soil samples from a small arms range and a skeet range. The field soil concentrations ranged from 11 (background) to 16,967 mg Pb/kg soil dry weight. Food consisted of uncontaminated flightless Drosophila melanogaster. Salamander survival was reduced in amended soil treatments of 4700 and 9167 mg/kg by 15% and 80%, respectively. Inappetence was observed at 4700 and 9167 mg/kg and growth decreased in the 9167 mg/kg treatment. Total white blood cells decreased 32% at 4700 mg/kg compared to controls and were 22% lower in the 9167 mg/kg treatment. In contrast, survival was 100% for all field-collected soils with no hematological effects. At 16,967 mg/kg there was evidence of soil avoidance and decreased growth. These data suggest marked differences in toxicity and bioavailability of the lead-amended soil in contrast to the field-collected soil containing lead. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Soil erosion and runoff due to mechanical disturbances on military training ranges can cause problems such as land degradation and environmental pollution of downstream ecosystems. This paper discusses runoff and sediment transport from compost mulch berms on a simulated military training landscape. The berms were constructed using mixtures of municipal yard waste (YW), wood chips (WC), pine bark fines (PB), and sub-soil (SL) in eight different proportions at Hazel Green, North Alabama, in Fall 2006. Berms made from 100% soil, which had over 140 000 L ha-1 of runoff and 13.3 kg ha-1 of sediment transport over the study period, had the greatest risk of causing off-site negative environmental effects. Berms made from 100% PB and 100% WC or combinations of compost materials without soil had the lowest risk of causing environmental pollution from runoff and sediment transport. Compared to soil, compost mulches can significantly reduce negative environmental effects to downstream ecosystems when used for berm construction on military training ranges. However, measures to minimize transport of C and N in runoff sediment, such as planting grass cover crops, need to be evaluated to make the technology more environmentally sustainable.

AB - Japanese medaka ( Oryzias latipes) is a valuable model organism in reproductive and developmental toxicity testing. The purpose of this experiment is to assess the response of medaka to aquatic estrogen exposure over the course of 1 year. Each week, three pairs of adult male medaka were exposed separately for 4 days (100% static renewal daily) to 17β-estradiol at a nominal level of 25 μg/l, with a fourth pair of fish exposed separately to an ethanol control. Vitellogenin (VTG) induction was observed each week, with hepatic and plasma VTG levels significantly higher ( P < 0.001) than reported for ethanol control specimens. A significant ( P < 0.001) increasing trend was observed for plasma VTG results over the duration of the study, whereas a decreasing trend ( P = 0.030) of hepatic VTG was evident. A Durbin–Watson test, however, did not demonstrate any serial autocorrelation of hepatic ( d = 1.180) or plasma ( d = 1.311) VTG levels over the duration of the study. Time-series transformations of the hepatic and plasma VTG data did not reveal any significant seasonal or behavioral patterns. However, significant intermittent peaks in VTG production were observed in both tissue types during the study. These data indicate that some consideration must be taken to time long-term medaka exposures (>20 weeks) in order to eliminate any influence of cyclic changes on plasma VTG response. Alternatively, hepatic cytosolic measurement of VTG appears to show a more sensitive response to aquatic estrogen exposure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Current research suggests that female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) will adopt sedentary breeding strategies in populations with an abundance of males and a more active mate-searching strategy in low-density or unbalanced herds. We used GPS collars to document the movements of 10 female deer during the breeding season at two Mid-Atlantic study sites that support high-density herds with nearly equal sex ratios. We calculated 95% and 50% seasonal and weekly kernel home ranges and the daily percentage of points located outside of the seasonal home range (SHR). Peaks in weekly home range size and in the percentage of points located outside of the SHR occurred between 7 Nov. and 9 Dec. (x̄ = 22 Nov.) for eight deer. Past data from one of the study sites have indicated that most breeding activity occurs from 5-25 Nov. Peaks in the percentage of points outside of the SHR corresponded to brief (x̄ = 24.0 h, sd = 18.2 h; range 8-68 h) excursions. On peak days, 46-100% (x̄ = 68.3%, sd = 17.1%) of data points were located outside of the SHR. No other excursions were observed during the 17 wk study period. Our results suggest that female deer may travel outside of their home range during the breeding season even when presented with an abundance of potential mates; these data suggest females are engaging in a discrete form of mate selection.

AB - Pathogens were not seriously considered as biological control agents for aquatic plants in theU nited States until the Chesapeake Bay Eurasian watermilfoil decline occurred in the 1960s. The decline and suggestion that it was induced by pathogens spawned interest in the use of pathogens as biological control agents for nuisance aquatic species. In the years that followed, emphasis was placed on finding pathogen agents for some of the most problematic aquatic weeds, including waterhyacinth, Eurasian watermilfoil, and hydrilla. The scientist that has contributed the most to our knowledge of pathogen biological control in aquatic plants has been Dr. Raghavan Charudattan (University of Florida, Gainesville, FL). For the past 40 yr, he has authored or coauthored more than 50 manuscripts devoted to the subject in peer-reviewed journals, books, and proceedings. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - Los patógenos no fueron seriamente considerados como agentes de control biológico para plantas acuáticas en los Estados Unidos hasta que empezó a deteriorarse la Myriophyllum spicatum L. en la Bahía de Chesapeake en los sesentas. Este deterioro y la idea de que fue inducido por patógenos despertaron el interés en el uso de patógenos como agentes de control biológico para especies acuáticas difíciles de controlar. En los años posteriores, se puso especial énfasis en la búsqueda de agentes patógenos para algunas de las malezas acuáticas más problemáticas incluyendo la Eichhornia crassipes, la Myriophyllum spicatum L y la Hydrilla verticillata. El científico que más ha contribuido a ampliar nuestros conocimientos en el uso de patógenos como agentes de control biológico en plantas acuáticas ha sido el Dr. Raghavan Charadattan de la Universidad de Florida en Gainesville. Durante los últimos 40 años, él ha sido autor o co-autor de más de 50 ensayos dedicados a este tema, publicados en revistas científicas, libros, minutas y otros medios de comunicación.

AB - The uptake of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) from soil by the earthworm Eisenia andrei was examined by using the equilibrium partitioning (EqP) theory and a three-compartment model including soil (S), interstitial water (IW), and earthworms (E). The RDX concentrations were measured using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Method 8330A and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The S-IW studies were conducted using four natural soils with contrasting physicochemical properties that were hypothesized to affect the bioavailability of RDX. Each soil was amended with nominal RDX concentrations ranging from 1 to 10,000 mg/kg. The HPLC analysis showed that the IW extracted from soil was saturated with RDX at 80 mg/kg or greater soil concentrations. The calculated S-IW coefficient (Kp) values for RDX ranged from 0.4 to 1.8 ml/g soil, depending on the soil type, and were influenced by the organic matter content. In the IW-E studies, earthworms were exposed to nonlethal RDX concentrations in aqueous media. The uptake of RDX by the earthworms correlated well (r2 = 0.99) with the dissolved RDX concentrations. For the E-S studies, earthworms were exposed to RDX-amended soils used in the S-IW studies. The bioconcentration factors (BCF; ratios of E-to-IW RDX concentrations) were relatively constant (∼5) up to 80 mg/kg soil RDX concentrations, which encompass the RDX saturation limit in the interstitial water of the tested soils. At this concentration range, the RDX uptake from interstitial water was likely dominated by passive diffusion and could be used as an indicator of bioavailability. Other mechanisms may be involved at greater RDX soil concentrations. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2010;29:998–1005. © 2009 SETAC [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The invasive silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) has become pervasive in much of the Mississippi River, its tributaries, and in connected lakes and wetlands. As an increasingly abundant planktivore, it competes directly for food with native fishes. Its greatest impact may be in connected backwater lakes and wetlands, which due to their high primary production serve as critical sites for feeding and growth of many fishes. To assess the impact that silver carp may have on one such system, we examined the composition of plankton samples and of alimentary tract (gut) contents of carp collected from an oxbow lake in Mississippi, Forest Home Chute. Through an occasional connection to the Mississippi River, Forest Home Chute was invaded by silver carp in winter 2005, after which the river and lake became disconnected for about two years. In the water-column, the most common types of phytoplankton were euglenoid algae, cyanobactena, and diatoms. The vast majority of zooplankton was rotifers with densities sometimes exceeding 7,000 organisms per liter. Very high concentrations of phytoplankton in the carp gut, relative to in the water-column, indicate substantial consumption of phytoplankton production. In October 2006, euglenoid phytoplankters were a much greater, and cyanobactena a much lesser, proportion of prey in the fish gut compared to their proportions in the water-column. In December, however, there was no evidence of selective consumption by the silver carp population. Some of the phytoplankters observed in the lowest portion of the gut, including pinnate diatoms and euglenoid algae, were motile, indicating they had survived transit through the 5 to 7-m long gut tract. There was no evidence of rotifer survival of gut passage. By its high consumption of plankton, possible selective planktivory, and differential digestion of consumed phytoplankton and zooplankton, the silver carp may be altering the food web structure of these important connected lakes.

AB - The Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) is a large and diverse river system that changes character along its 1,200 mile network of rivers and canals and 2.6 million acres of floodplain. It supports more than 30 million people in its watershed, a significant commercial waterway, more than a million acres of “floodplain” agriculture and about one-half million acres of river-floodplain managed for fish, wildlife, and recreation. Large-scale geomorphology and climate patterns largely determine the hydrologic characteristics of a nested hierarchy of UMRS river reaches. The human impacts above are also important drivers determining hydrologic characteristics within the hierarchy. Understanding the relationship among physical and chemical processes and ecological responses is critical to implement an adaptive management framework for UMRS ecosystem sustainability. Historic or contemporary data from 42 locations were used to examine changes in UMRS hydrology and to demonstrate the utility of a multiple reference condition analysis for river restoration. A multivariate mathematical framework was used to show how river stage hydrology can be characterized by the variability, predictability, seasonality, and rate of change. Large-scale “geomorphic reaches” have distinct hydrologic characteristics and response to development throughout the UMRS region, but within navigation pool hydrology is similar among all impounded reaches regardless of geomorphic reach. Reaches with hydrologic characteristics similar to historic reference conditions should be examined to determine whether those characteristics support desired management objectives. Water levels can be managed, within limits to support navigation and agriculture, to more closely resemble natural hydrology for the benefit of a variety of species, habitats, and ecological processes.

AB - To meet London Protocol requirements, South Korea is preparing to reduce the need for disposal of dredged material at sea. The new requirements controlling ocean disposal of dredged material pose significant challenges to the South Korean government, because the previous practice of offshore disposal of contaminated dredged material is no longer permitted. Hence, other alternatives for treating and disposing of contaminated dredged material are being evaluated and selected for implementation. A new management and decision approach is therefore needed for regulators and implementers to show what information and what decision-making processes were used to make the decision, to increase administrative transparency for such projects in the public domain. To address this need, an iterative approach was developed for dredged material management that includes the essential elements of process, people, and tools needed for successful environmental decision making. The approach has 6 steps: problem definition, developing objectives and criteria, identifying alternatives, performing the evaluation, comparing alternatives, and selecting the preferred alternative. The primary objective of the approach is to provide a systematic means of exploring contaminated dredged material management alternatives in South Korea using criteria that integrate risk with economic and stakeholder value information. The approach incorporates the desired decision-making attributes of transparency, comparative analysis, and inclusion of public input. Although it was developed for South Korea, the approach can be applied in any situation in which dredged material management alternatives are being considered to manage contaminated sediment risks.

AB - Many years of untreated effluent discharge from residential areas, a shipyard, a marina, and a large fish market resulted in substantial contamination of bottom sediment in Southern Busan Harbor, South Korea. Contaminants in these sediments include heavy metals and organic compounds. Newly introduced regulations for ocean disposal of dredged material in South Korea pose significant challenges, because the previous practice of offshore disposal of contaminated dredged material was no longer possible after August 2008. The South Korean government has mandated that such sediments be assessed in a way that identifies the most appropriate dredged material management alternative, addressing environmental, social, and cost objectives. An approach using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) in combination with comparative risk assessment was used as a systematic and transparent framework for prioritizing several dredged sediment management alternatives. We illustrate how MCDA can recognize the multiple goals of contaminated sediment management. Values used in weighting decision criteria were derived from surveys of stakeholders who were sediment management professionals, business owners, or government decision makers. The results of the analysis showed that land reclamation was the preferred alternative among cement-lock, sediment washing, 3 contained aquatic disposal alternatives (one in combination with a hopper dredge), geotextile tubes, solidification, and land reclamation after solidification treatment. Land reclamation was the preferred alternative, which performed well across all MCDA objectives, because of the availability of a near-shore confined disposal facility within a reasonable distance from the dredging area.

AB - Abstract  Backwaters connected to large rivers retain nitrate and may play an important role in reducing downstream loading to coastal marine environments. A summer nitrogen (N) inflow-outflow budget was examined for a flow-regulated backwater of the upper Mississippi River in conjunction with laboratory estimates of sediment ammonium and nitrate fluxes, organic N mineralization, nitrification, and denitrification to provide further insight into N retention processes. External N loading was overwhelmingly dominated by nitrate and 54% of the input was retained (137 mg mâ2 dayâ1). Ammonium and dissolved organic N were exported from the backwater (14 and 9 mg mâ2 dayâ1, respectively). Nitrate influx to sediment increased as a function of increasing initial nitrate concentration in the overlying water. Rates were greater under anoxic versus oxic conditions. Ammonium effluxes from sediment were 26.7 and 50.6 mg mâ2 dayâ1 under oxic and anoxic conditions, respectively. Since anoxia inhibited nitrification, the difference between ammonium anoxicâoxic fluxes approximated a nitrification rate of 29.1 mg mâ2 dayâ1. Organic N mineralization was 64 mg mâ2 dayâ1. Denitrification, estimated from regression relationships between oxic nitrate influx versus initial nitrate concentration and a summer lakewide mean nitrate concentration of 1.27 mg lâ1, was 94 mg mâ2 dayâ1. Denitrification was equivalent to only 57% of the retained nitrate, suggesting that another portion was assimilated by biota. The high sediment organic N mineralization and ammonium efflux rate coupled with the occurrence of ammonium export from the system suggested a possible link between biotic assimilation of nitrate, mineralization, and export.

AB - The vertical and horizontal distribution of juvenile salmonid migrants on approach to the dams influences bypass success in rivers. Accordingly, fish distributions have been studied for nearly three decades. These studies, however, have not been integrated and summarized in a single body of work to determine overall patterns in the spatial distribution of emigrants. We reviewed peer-reviewed and gray literature to summarize species-specific trends in the horizontal and vertical distributions of emigrating salmonids as measured by several different methods. We found that there were no species-specific differences in horizontal distributions and that fish were often oriented with the river thalweg. There were weak differences between species in vertical distributions, e.g., juvenile yearling steelhead were shallower during the day than yearling Chinook salmon. For sockeye, coho, and subyearling Chinook salmon, the data were limited or conflicting. Studies were purposefully designed to measure distributions at certain dams under particular environmental conditions for specific, local purposes. The non-standard sampling design has hampered the development of testable hypothesis on fish distributions in the Snake and Columbia rivers. Recent advances in individual-based models are offering the potential to forecast fish distributions near dams and facilitate improved bypass system design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The U.S. Army adopted forward surgical hospitals (SHs) during World War I on the advice of the British and French armies. The purposes were not just to save lives, but to benefit the military by returning more patients to duty and reducing the size of the hospital system through fewer infections and shorter hospital stays. The Army examined the utility of the units at the end of the war and retained them for any future conflicts, but opposition also survived. The question was the utility for the Army: was it worth making a substantial investment, and reducing care for other wounded soldiers, for the most grievously wounded, perhaps 1 percent of the total? Devising an effective way to organize forward SHs was a problem in the interwar years and early in World War II (WWII). But from the late 1930s, the Army never reexamined whether it should provide forward surgery, only how to do so, including pushing surgeons even further forward on the battlefield. At the end of WWII, the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) was created to perform the mission, although the MASH was only the latest format. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Prior to the repeal of “don't ask, don't tell” (DADT) on September 20, 2011, many observers predicted that allowing lesbian, gay and bisexual troops to serve openly would harm the military, and a group of more than 1,000 retired general and flag officers predicted that repeal could “break the All-Volunteer Force.” This study is the first scholarly effort to assess the accuracy of such predictions about the impact of DADT repeal on military readiness. We conducted our research during the half-year period starting six months after repeal and concluding at the one year mark, and we pursued ten separate research strategies including in-depth interviews, survey analysis, on-site field observations, pretest/posttest quasi experimentation, secondary source analysis, and a comprehensive review of media articles. Our goal was to maximize the likelihood of identifying evidence of damage caused by repeal, and we made vigorous efforts to collect data from repeal opponents including anti-repeal generals and admirals, activists, academic experts, service members and watchdog organizations. Our conclusion, based on all of the evidence available to us, is that DADT repeal has had no overall negative impact on military readiness or its component dimensions, including cohesion, recruitment, retention, assaults, harassment, or morale. If anything, DADT repeal appears to have enhanced the military's ability to pursue its mission. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - While there has been substantial interest in using e-science and cyberinfrastructure technologies to enable synchronous remote participation in experimental research, the details of such participation are in question. On the one hand, there is a desire to give remote participants the same views and capabilities that they would have as local participants. On the other hand, there are settings where experimental specimens and apparatus are large and difficult to manipulate effectively or view from a remote vantage point. This article argues for more novel forms of remote participation by drawing on exploratory interview and observation data gathered in civil engineering laboratories. It is shown that, while experiments are in progress, the engineers studied focus primarily on detecting and preventing specimen failures, and that their unease about remote participation stems from doubts about the ability of remote participants to detect failures adequately. It is argued that this presents the opportunity to consider novel roles for remote participants that exploit the features of e-science technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article details the administration and results of an experiment conducted to assess the impact of three video game design concepts upon learning outcomes. The principles tested include game aesthetics, player choice, and player competition. The experiment participants were asked to play a serious game over the course of a week, and the learning outcomes were measured by comparing their pretest and posttest scores. The results of a one-tailedttest indicated, with apvalue of 0.043, that there was a statistically significant effect of the aesthetic presentation of the game upon the learning outcome. There was no indication of a significant effect by the player choice or player competition conditions, but the results from these experiment groups point to some potentially interesting interactions between the conditions and learning, as well as possible future lines of experimental inquiry.

AB - Military Children who have experienced multiple deployments of one or both parents are more likely to have emotional and behavioral difficulties compared with their civilian peers (e.g., Chandra et al., 2010). The U.S. Army Medical Command has tasked the Child, Adolescent and Family Behavioral Health Office (CAF-BHO) to develop programs to address the behavioral health (BH) needs of Army Children and Families. This article will describe the efforts of the CAF-BHO Training Section to disseminate and implement an evidence based practice training curriculum for Army Child and Family Behavioral Health Providers. Specifically, this article will detail: (a) the decision making strategy used to identify the training protocol for dissemination, (b) adaptations to the training program and treatment protocol to fit a Military context, and (c) efforts to implement, maximize and sustain utilization of evidence-based practices by Military BH providers over a large geographical area with limited resources.

AB - The objectives of this project were to analyze available Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, levee risk information in a Composite Risk Management matrix and examine the results for management decision support. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) guidance documents define risk as the 'probability and severity of loss linked to hazards' and prescribe a composite risk assessment method. The Delta Risk Management Strategy performed for a group of state and federal partners provided analyses of the relative probability of hazards and severity of risks in the Delta and provide the information needed for a risk analysis compliant with USACE requirements. Composite Risk assessment provides rank-ordered lists of the highest risk zones-those with the greatest probability of failure combined with the most severe consequences-for several hundred protected areas in the Delta. Although uncertainties in the absolute magnitude of the results make them most useful for comparisons, the actual values of the probabilities and consequences are alarming. For example, Sargent Barnhart Tract, northwest of Stockton, has a mean annual failure rate of 0.07, or an expected levee failure every 14 years, with a probable 96 fatalities for a nighttime seismic-induced failure. Adjacent tracts with only slightly lower failure probabilities put another 500 lives at risk. An area of the Suisun Marsh has a projected failure rate of 0.5, or once every two years, with maximum possible damages exceeding $250 million. The Sacramento Pocket Area, with a mean annual failure rate of 0.006, has over $9 billion at risk. Although refinements to these risk estimates are possible, this paper and the Delta Risk Management Strategy analyses provide more than sufficient evidence that flooding in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta presents significant risks to California and the nation. Hundreds of lives and billions of dollar damages are at risk. Urgent action is necessary to manage those risks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: The Training Range Environmental Evaluation and Characterization System (TREECS™) (http://el.erdc.usace.army.mil/treecs/) is being developed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) for the U.S. Army to forecast the fate of munitions constituents (MC) (such as high explosives (HE) and metals) found on firing/training ranges, as well as those subsequently transported to surface water and groundwater. The overall purpose of TREECS™ is to provide environmental specialists with tools to assess the potential for MC migration into surface water and groundwater systems and to assess range management strategies to ensure protection of human health and the environment. The multimedia fate/transport models within TREECS™ are mathematical models of reduced form (e.g., reduced dimensionality) that allow rapid application with less input data requirements compared with more complicated models. Although TREECS™ was developed for the fate of MC from military ranges, it has general applicability to many other situations requiring prediction of contaminant (including radionuclide) fate in multi-media environmental systems. TREECS™ was applied to the Borschi watershed near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine. At this site, TREECS™ demonstrated its use as a modeling tool to predict the fate of strontium 90 (90Sr). The most sensitive and uncertain input for this application was the soil-water partitioning distribution coefficient (K d) for 90Sr. The TREECS™ soil model provided reasonable estimates of the surface water export flux of 90Sr from the Borschi watershed when using a K d for 90Sr of 200 L/kg. The computed export for the year 2000 was 0.18% of the watershed inventory of 90Sr compared to the estimated export flux of 0.14% based on field data collected during 1999–2001. The model indicated that assumptions regarding the form of the inventory, whether dissolved or in solid phase form, did not appreciably affect export rates. Also, the percentage of non-exchangeable adsorbed 90Sr, which is uncertain and affects the amount of 90Sr available for export, was fixed at 20% based on field data measurements. A Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis was conducted treating K d as an uncertain input variable with a range of 100–300 L/kg. This analysis resulted in a range of 0.13–0.27% of inventory exported to surface water compared to 0.14% based on measured field data. Based on this model application, it was concluded that the export of 90Sr from the Borschi watershed to surface water is predominantly a result of soil pore water containing dissolved 90Sr being diverted to surface waters that eventually flow out of the watershed. The percentage of non-exchangeable adsorbed 90Sr and the soil-water K d are the two most sensitive and uncertain factors affecting the amount of export. The 200-year projections of the model showed an exponential decline in 90Sr export fluxes from the watershed that should drop by a factor of 10 by the year 2100. This presentation will focus on TREECS capabilities and the case study done for the Borschi Watershed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Antimony (Sb) is a contaminant of concern that can be present in elevated concentrations in shooting range soils due to mobilization from spent lead/antimony bullets. Antimony in shooting range soils has been observed as either metallic Sb(0) or as Sb(V) immobilized by iron (hydr)oxides. The absence of Sb(III) in soils is indicative of rapid Sb(III) oxidation to Sb(V) under surface soil conditions. However, the major controls on antimony oxidation and mobility are poorly understood. To better understand these controls we performed multiple batch experiments under oxic conditions to quantify the oxidation and dissolution of antimony in systems where Sb(0) is oxidized to Sb(III) and further to Sb(V). We also tested how variations in the aqueous matrix composition and the presence of metallic lead (Pb) affect the dissolution, solid phase speciation, and oxidation of antimony. We monitored changes in the aqueous antimony speciation using liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS). To test which solid phases form as a result of Sb(0) oxidation, and therefore potentially limit the mobility of antimony in our studied systems, we characterized the partially oxidized Sb(0) powders by means of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The observed oxidation of Sb(0) to Sb(III) and mobilization to solution is rapid: after 5–15min of reaction the aqueous antimony concentration reached 50–600μM. The amount of dissolved antimony and the rate of Sb(III) oxidation to Sb(V) in deionized water is lower than what we measured in the simulated groundwater systems. Sénarmontite (Sb2O3), the primary crystalline oxidation product of Sb(0), was detected after one month from the beginning of Sb(0) oxidation. The maximum aqueous Sb(III) concentration is about 30 times larger than the predicted equilibrium concentration with respect to sénarmontite in the initial stages (<65h) of our experiment. Concentrations reach equilibrium within 146–222days. The maximum concentration of Sb(V) is controlled by cation availability for the precipitation of an antimonate. In the systems where sodium Na(I) exceeded 20mM precipitation of mopungite is observed. No crystalline phases were detected in the systems with added lead, and the dissolved Sb(V) concentration is several orders of magnitude higher than would be expected in equilibrium with bindheimite (Pb2Sb2O7). The observed solubility of Sb(V) in the systems with Ca(II) is several orders of magnitude larger than the solubility reported for roméite (Ca2Sb2O7). The addition of Pb(0) lowered the extent of Sb(0) oxidation due to competitive oxidation or to the coupling of antimony and lead redox reactions. The results from our research can be used to identify substrates that promote precipitation of relatively insoluble antimony compounds in target berm soils and thus prevent the offsite migration of antimony from shooting range target berms.

AB - This paper presents a controlled experiment comparing several quantitative passive samplers for monitoring concentrations of volatile organic compound (VOC) vapors in soil gas using a flow-through cell. This application is simpler than conventional active sampling using adsorptive tubes because the flow rate does not need to be precisely measured and controlled, which is advantageous because the permeability of subsurface materials affects the flow rate and the permeability of geologic materials is highly variable. Using passive samplers in a flow-through cell, the flow rate may not need to be known exactly, as long as it is sufficient to purge the cell in a reasonable time and minimize any negative bias attributable to the starvation effect. An experiment was performed in a 500 mL flow-through cell using a two-factor, onehalf fraction fractional factorial test design with flow rates of 80, 670 and 930 mL min-1 and sample durations of 10, 15 and 20 minutes for each of five different passive samplers (passive Automatic Thermal Desorption Tube, Radiello®, SKC Ultra, Waterloo Membrane Sampler™ and 3M™ OVM 3500). A Summa canister was collected coincident with each passive sampler and analyzed by EPA Method TO-15 to provide a baseline for comparison of the passive sampler concentrations. The passive sampler concentrations were within a factor of 2 of the Summa canister concentrations in 32 of 35 cases. Passive samples collected at the low flow rate and short duration showed low concentrations, which is likely attributable to insufficient purging of the cell after sampler placement.

AB - Nanoparticles are of concern because of widespread use, but it is unclear if metal nanoparticles cause effects directly or indirectly. We explored whether polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) cause effects through intact nanoparticles or dissolved silver. Females of the model species fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to either 4.8 μg/L of AgNO3 or 61.4 μg/L of PVP-AgNPs for 96h. Microarray analyses were used to identify impacted receptors and toxicity pathways in liver and brain tissues that were confirmed using in vitro mammalian assays. AgNO3 and PVP-AgNP exposed fish had common and distinct effects consistent with both intact nanoparticles and dissolved silver causing effects. PVP-AgNPs and AgNO3 both affected pathways involved in Na+, K+, and H+ homeostasis and oxidative stress but different neurotoxicity pathways. In vivo effects were supported by PVP-AgNP activation of five in vitro nuclear receptor assays and inhibition of ligand binding to the dopamine receptor. AgNO3 inhibited ligand binding to adrenergic receptors α1 and α2 and cannabinoid receptor CB1, but had no effect in nuclear receptor assays. PVP-AgNPs have the potential to cause effects both through intact nanoparticles and metal ions, each interacting with different initiating events. Since the in vitro and in vivo assays examined here are commonly used in human and ecological hazard screening, this work suggests that environmental health assessments should consider effects of intact nanoparticles in addition to dissolved metals.

AB - This work investigates the seismic compression characteristics of nonplastic and low-plasticity silty sands with varying fines content (0≤FC≤60%). Cyclic simple shear testing was performed on various sand-fines mixtures at a range of modified Proctor relative compaction levels and degrees of saturation. Aside from the expected strong influence of relative compaction, increasing fines content is found to generally decrease volume change for fines fractions consisting of silts and clayey silts of moderate-to-low plasticity index (PI≤10). With truly nonplastic fines (rock flour), cyclic volume change increases with FC. Some materials also exhibit an effect of as-compacted saturation in which moderate saturation levels associated with high matric suction cause volume change to decrease. Additionally, the data consistently demonstrate that vertical strains decrease as overburden pressure is increased in a manner consistent with a previous clean sands model. This paper presents empirical equations to capture these effects, which extend a previous clean-sand volumetric-strain material model to account for the previously unconsidered effects of fines content and saturation.

AB - A preliminary laboratory study was conducted to investigate the impact of different residual types and sediment surface roughness on copper contaminant fluxes to the water column. Sediments from Torch Lake, Michigan served as the test samples. These sediments are mining by-products with elevated Cu levels. Six experiments were run during which the sediments were conditioned to simulate different forms of residuals. During these experiments, the water column above the sediments was circulated via peristaltic pumping or orbital shaking and the total and dissolved Cu levels were monitored periodically for 15 days. Dissolved Cu levels indicated that during the first 48 hr the water column concentrations approached equilibrium for all six cases. Total Cu levels increased with time and did reach equilibrium but were more susceptible to fluctuations in water column suspended solids levels. Analysis of the resulting dissolved Cu data indicated that the resulting water column Cu concentrations differed with sediment surface and residual type. The highest dissolved Cu water column concentrations were observed for a roughened surface with a larger surface area. The lowest water column dissolved Cu levels were observed for the case with sediment slurry placed over clean sand. The dissolved Cu levels in the water column for all six simulated conditions were several orders higher than the USEPA ambient water quality criteria for protection of aquatic life. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.* [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Upland birds that display grit ingestion behavior are potentially at risk of detrimental effects and death from lead poisoning at trap and skeet ranges and other areas where vast quantities of spent lead shot pellets abound. Because commonly cited force-feeding pellet exposure studies deviate from true field conditions, their results may not reflect true risks faced by upland birds. In particular, studies that use new shot pellets and administer more pellets than would be reasonably ingested, critically interfere with the understanding of actualized pellet exposures. In this study, northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus), a frequent test species in shot pellet research, were dosed in an ecologically-relevant manner (i.e., with spent shot and with no more than three pellets). Notably, the 56-day post-dosing observation period, during which a battery of physiological measures were recorded, exceeded that of related studies. Despite a sustained suppression of a lead poisoning indicator, the data suggest upland birds can withstand spent shot pellet exposures. Data detected a survivorship ≥95%, absence of illness, demonstrated tolerance for extremely high blood lead concentrations, and unaffected blood parameters. In conjunction with ecological considerations (e.g., spatial scale and animal behavior), concern about bird population losses from the incidental ingestion of spent shot pellets is potentially overstated.

AB - Regional change in the variability and magnitude of flooding could be a major consequence of future global climate change. Extreme floods have the capacity to rapidly transform landscapes and expose landscape vulnerabilities through highly variable spatial patterns of inundation, erosion, and deposition. We use the historic activation of the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway during the Mississippi and Ohio River Flooding of 2011 as a scientifically unique stress experiment to analyze indicators of floodplain vulnerability. We use pre- and postflood airborne Light Detection and Ranging data sets to locate erosional and depositional hotspots over the 540 km² agricultural Floodway. While riparian vegetation between the river and the main levee breach likely prevented widespread deposition, localized scour and deposition occurred near the levee breaches. Eroded gullies nearly 1 km in length were observed at a low ridge of a relict meander scar of the Mississippi River. Our flow modeling and spatial mapping analysis attributes this vulnerability to a combination of erodible soils, flow acceleration associated with legacy fluvial landforms, and a lack of woody vegetation to anchor soil and enhance flow resistance. Results from this study could guide future mitigation and adaptation measures in cases of extreme flooding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Water utilities must continuously ensure safe drinking water within the context of multiple competing objectives and considerable uncertainty. Systematic, transparent prioritization of contaminants can improve utility decision-making. A methodology was developed to identify, screen, evaluate, and determine appropriate actions for a wide range of contaminants, including regulated parameters, contaminants of emerging concern, and aesthetic issues. Actions were assigned on the basis of “utility risk,” defined as the risk that the utility may produce undesirable water through potential health effects of unregulated contaminants, exceeding aesthetic levels, or regulatory noncompliance. Application of this methodology at Washington Aqueduct in Washington, D.C., narrowed a list of more than 700 candidate contaminants down to about a dozen priority contaminants, allowing the utility to focus on the most beneficial actions when considering future capital improvements and nontreatment approaches to enhance drinking water quality.

AB - Environmental windows are seasonal restrictions imposed on dredging operations in the Great Lakes and other waterways of the United States. Such restrictions often generically assume that sediments resuspended by dredg-ing result in adverse impacts to fish; this is the case in western Lake Erie where the environmental window was established due to potential impacts on walleye (Sander vitreus). To address this concern, laboratory studies mimicking sediment resuspension during dredging operations in western Lake Erie were conducted to deter-mine whether suspended sediments affect walleye eggs and fingerlings. Newly laid eggs and 45- to 60-d old fingerlings from separate hatcheries were exposed for 72-h under flow-through conditions to 0,100,250, and 500 mg/L total suspended sediment (TSS). Fingerlings, eggs, and newly hatched larvae were analyzed for multi-ple lethal and sublethal endpoints. Data indicated no significant effects of suspended sediment on egg hatch suc-cess or fingerling survival after three days of exposure. No significant differences were observed when comparing percent egg viability in the control with any TSS treatment; however, a downward trend was observed at 500 mg/L. No significant differences were observed during comparisons of fingerling gill lamellae in the control with any TSS treatment; however, a statistically significant difference was observed when comparing gill lamel-lae in the control with the original supply animals. No significant differences were found between control means and unexposed eggs or any TSS treatment. These effect data for walleye will serve to better inform the setting of environmental windows for this species in western Lake Erie. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: This study addresses the need for a policy-relevant climatic vulnerability model in sub-Saharan Africa, where data is typically poor and people are exposed to a wide range of environmental and socioeconomic stressors that are unique to the region. This research applies a multi-scale, multi-indicator methodology that allows policy-makers and experts flexibility to contextualize causal factors in the modeling process through selection of evidence-based variables of vulnerability. This process is easily scaled to stakeholders needs, whether at a state, district or local level. This article provides a framework to assist stakeholders and policy-makers in Malawi to determine what drives vulnerability at a household level, which areas in the country are most vulnerable and where development solutions should be applied. As financial assistance related to climate adaptation increases rapidly in Africa, this article presents timely results for Malawi and an auspicious methodology that can assist other vulnerable countries.

AB - Rapid pathogen detection is crucial for the timely introduction of therapeutics. Two groups (one in the United Kingdom and one in the United States) independently evaluated inhibitor-resistant PCR reagents for the direct testing of substrates. In the United Kingdom, a multiplexed Bacillus anthracis (target) and Bacillus subtilis (internal-control) PCR was used to evaluate 4 reagents against 5 PCR inhibitors and down-selected the TaqMan Fast Virus 1-Step master mix (Life Technologies Inc.). In the United States, four real-time PCR assays (targeting B. anthracis, Brucella melitensis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus [VEEV], and Orthopoxvirus spp.) were used to evaluate 5 reagents (plus the Fast Virus master mix) against buffer, blood, and soil samples and down-selected the KAPA Blood Direct master mix (KAPA Biosystems Inc.) with added Platinum Taq (Life Technologies). The down-selected reagents underwent further testing. In the United Kingdom experiments, both reagents were tested against seven contrived aerosol collector samples containing B. anthracis Ames DNA and B. subtilis spores from a commercial formulation (BioBall). In PCR assays with reaction mixtures containing 40% crude sample, an airfield-collected sample induced inhibition of the B. subtilis PCR with the KAPA reagent and complete failure of both PCRs with the Fast Virus reagent. However, both reagents allowed successful PCR for all other samples—which inhibited PCRs with a non-inhibitor-resistant reagent. In the United States, a cross-assay limit-of-detection (LoD) study in blood was conducted. The KAPA Blood Direct reagent allowed the detection of agent DNA (by four PCRs) at higher concentrations of blood in the reaction mixture (2.5%) than the Fast Virus reagent (0.5%), although LoDs differed between assays and reagent combinations. Across both groups, the KAPA Blood Direct reagent was determined to be the optimal reagent for inhibition relief in PCR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - To reduce staffing demands and enhance observational accuracy, we designed, implemented, and tested a computerized system for processing underwater video clips captured by static cameras and removing “quiet” frames in which no activity is detected. When the system detects activity, it tracks and counts the moving object. The implementation uses an adaptive background-subtraction algorithm for detection and motion prediction for tracking. The system can be used to reduce the amount of video that must be reviewed by personnel, and it can produce total fish passage counts through the monitored area. The automated system reduced the total number of video hours requiring review by an average of 87.5% for count window videos and 83.5% for videos of picketed leads and lamprey passage orifices. The software detected 98.6% of the 144 Pacific LampreysEntosphenus tridentatusthat were observed in 185 h of raw video. Because the system is fully automated, monitoring requirements are negligible, and the cost reduction for fish monitoring is proportional to the number of quiet frames removed.

AB - Abstract: Large sediment diversions are proposed and expected to build new wetlands to alleviate the extensive wetland loss (5000 km2) affecting coastal Louisiana during the last 78 years. Current assessment and prediction of the impacts of sediment diversions have focused on the capture and dispersal of both water and sediment on the adjacent river side and the immediate outfall marsh area. However, little is known about the effects of sediment diversions on existing wetland surface elevation and vertical accretion dynamics in the receiving basin at the landscape scale. In this study, we used a spatial wetland surface elevation model developed in support of Louisiana's 2012 Coastal Master Plan to examine such landscape-scale effects of sediment diversions. Multiple sediment diversion projects were incorporated in the model to simulate surface elevation and vertical accretion for the next 50 years (2010–2060) under two environmental (moderate and less optimistic) scenarios. Specifically, we examined landscape-scale surface elevation and vertical accretion trends under diversions with different geographical locations, diverted discharge rates, and geomorphic characteristics of the receiving basin. Model results indicate that small diversions (<283 m3 s−1) tend to have limited effects of reducing landscape-scale elevation loss (<3%) compared to a future without action (FWOA) condition. Large sediment diversions (>1500 m3 s−1) are required to achieve landscape-level benefits to promote surface elevation via vertical accretion to keep pace with rising sea level.

AB - Germination of Bacillus spores with a high pressure (HP) of ∼ 150 MPa is via activation of spores' germinant receptors (GRs). The HP germination of multiple individual Bacillus subtilis spores in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) was monitored with phase-contrast microscopy. Major conclusions were that (i) >95% of wild-type spores germinated in 40 min in a DAC at -150 MPa and 37°C but individual spores' germination kinetics were heterogeneous; (ii) individual spores' HP germination kinetic parameters were similar to those of nutrient-triggered germination with a variable lag time (Tlag) prior to a period of the rapid release (▵Trelease) of the spores' dipicolinic acid in a 1:1 chelate with Ca2+ (CaDPA); (iii) spore germination at 50 MPa had longer average Tlag values than that at ∼ 150 MPa, but the ▵Trelease values at the two pressures were identical and HPs of < 10 MPa did not induce germination; (iv) B. subtilis spores that lacked the cortex-lytic enzyme CwIJ and that were germinated with an HP of 150 MPa exhibited average ATrelease values ∼ 15-fold longer than those for wild-type spores, but the two types of spores exhibited similar average Tlag values; and (v) the germination of wild-type spores given a ⩾30-s 140-MPa HP pulse followed by a constant pressure of 1 MPa was the same as that of spores exposed to a constant pressure of 140 MPa that was continued for ⩾35 min; (vi) however, after short 150-MPa HP pulses and incubation at 0.1 MPa (ambient pressure), spore germination stopped 5 to 10 min after the HP was released. These results suggest that an HP of ∼ 150 MPa for ⩾30 s is sufficient to fully activate spores' GRs, which remain activated at 1 MPa but can deactivate at ambient pressure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Models based on simple air temperature–water temperature relationships have been useful in highlighting potential threats to coldwater-dependent species such as Brook TroutSalvelinus fontinalisby predicting major losses of habitat and substantial reductions in geographic distribution. However, spatial variability in the relationship between changes in air temperature to changes in water temperature complicates predictions. We directly measured paired summer air and water temperatures over 2 years in a stratified representative sample of watersheds (<1–274 km2) supporting wild Brook Trout throughout Virginia near the southern edge of the species distribution. We used the temperature data to rank streams in terms of two important components of habitat vulnerability: sensitivity (predicted change in water temperature per unit increase in air temperature) and exposure (predicted frequency, magnitude, and duration of threshold water temperatures). Across all sites, sensitivity was substantially lower (median sensitivity = 0.35°C) than the 0.80°C assumed in some previous models. Median sensitivity across all sites did not differ between the 2 years of the study. In contrast, median exposure was considerably greater in 2010 (a particularly warm summer) than in 2009, but exposure ranks of habitat patches were highly consistent. Variation in sensitivity and exposure among habitat patches was influenced by landscape metrics (percent forested riparian corridor, patch area, and elevation), but considerable unexplained variation in sensitivity and exposure among sites was likely due to local-scale differences in the extent of groundwater influence. Overall, our direct measurement approach identified significantly more Brook Trout habitat patches with low sensitivity and low exposure that may persist under warming air temperatures than did previous large-scale models. Our sensitivity and exposure classification should provide a useful general framework for managers in making investment decisions for protecting and restoring Brook Trout habitat.

AB - Abstract: Untangling drivers of systems and uncertainty for species distribution models (SDMs) is important to provide reliable predictions that are useful for conservation campaigns. This is particularly true for species whose habitat is threatened by climate change that enhances the uncertainty in future species distributions. Global sensitivity and uncertainty analyses (GSUA) is a robust method to globally investigate the uncertainty of SDMs and the importance of species distributions' drivers in space and time. Here we apply GSUA to MaxEnt that is one of the popular presence-only SDMs. We consider the Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) (SP) in Florida that is a shorebird whose habitat is affected by sea level rise due to climate change. The importance of intrinsic and exogenous input factors to the uncertainty of the species distribution is evaluated for MaxEnt. GSUA is applied for three projections of the habitat (2006, 2060, and 2100) according to the A1B sea level rise scenario. The large land cover variation determines a moderate decrease in habitat suitability in 2060 and 2100 prospecting a low risk of decline for the SP. The regularization parameter for the environmental features, the uncertainty into the classification of salt-marsh, transitional marsh, and ocean beach, and the maximum number of iterations for the model training are in this order the most important input factors for the average habitat suitability. These results are related to the SP but, in general MaxEnt appears as a very non-linear model where uncertainty mostly derives from the interactions among input factors. The uncertainty of the output is a species-specific variable. Thus, GSUA need be performed for each case considering local exogenous input factors of the model. GSUA allows quantitative informed species-management decisions by providing scenarios with controlled uncertainty and confidence over factors' importance that can be used by resource managers.

AB - Abstract: Summarized herein are 28 case studies wherein trend-related causative physical, social, or institutional changes were connected to consequential changes in runoff, water quality, and riparian and aquatic ecological features. The reviewed cases were systematically evaluated relative to their identified environmental effects; usage of analytical frameworks, and appropriate models, methods, and technologies; and the attention given to mitigation and/or management of the resultant causative and consequential changes. These changes also represent important considerations in project design and operation, and in cumulative effects studies associated therewith. The cases were grouped into five categories: institutional changes associated with legislation and policies (seven cases); physical changes from land use changes in urbanizing watersheds (eight cases); physical changes from land use changes and development projects in watersheds (four cases); physical, institutional, and social changes from land use and related policy changes in river basins (three cases); and multiple changes within a comprehensive study of land use and policy changes in the Willamette River Basin in Oregon (six cases). A tabulation of 110 models, methods and technologies used in the studies is also presented. General observations from this review were that the features were unique for each case; the consequential changes were logically based on the causative changes; the analytical frameworks provided relevant structures for the studies, and the identified methods and technologies were pertinent for addressing both the causative and consequential changes. One key lesson was that the cases provide useful, “real-world” illustrations of the importance of addressing trend-related changes in cumulative effects studies within water resources planning. Accordingly, they could be used as an “initial tool kit” for addressing trend-related changes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: The thermal infrared (TIR) wavelength region has proved highly useful for remotely extracting important parameters of volcanic activity, such as the composition, texture, and temperature of either the surface or gas/aerosol emissions. However, each of these characteristics can vary within the area of one pixel of a remote sensing dataset, which ultimately affects the accuracy of the retrieval of these characteristics. For example, where multiple temperatures occur in a particular pixel, the derived emissivity spectrum and pixel-integrated brightness temperature for that pixel are inaccurate. We present a new approach for deconvolving thermally-mixed pixels in a day/night pair of the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) thermal infrared (TIR) scenes over Kilauea volcano, acquired during an active effusive phase in October 2006. The thermal deconvolution algorithm identifies thermally-mixed pixels and determines the multiple temperature components and their area, using data from the higher spatial resolution short wave infrared (SWIR) channels of ASTER. The effects of thermal mixing on the emissivity retrievals were quantified using a spectral deconvolution approach comparing the original to the thermally deconvolved data. The root mean squared (RMS) error improved slightly from 0.879 to 0.813, whereas the compositional end-members changed more dramatically (e.g., glass decreased from 70.2% to 49.3% and the vesicularity increased from 0.7% to 16.3%). The results provide more accurate temperature and emissivity data derived from ASTER data over thermally-elevated surfaces such as volcanoes and fires. This approach also serves as rapid means for accurately identifying sub-pixel temperatures, commonly obscured in low to medium spatial resolution orbital datasets. Moreover, it minimizes processing time, allowing critical information to be quickly disseminated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: The albedo of the Greenland ice sheet plays a key role in the energy balance and climate of the arctic. Change in snow albedo values associated with changing climate conditions can be monitored remotely from satellite platforms viewing the entire Greenland ice sheet, yet comparisons to high quality surface measurements are necessary to assess the accuracy of satellite measurements as new snow albedo algorithms are developed with higher spatial and temporal resolution. During May, June, and July 2011, we obtained daily measurements of spectral albedo at Summit, Greenland with an Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) spectroradiometer, scanning at 350–2200nm. We compare our spectral albedo field measurements to the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS), using both the Version 005 Direct Broadcast daily albedo product and the recently developed Version 006 MCD43A daily albedo product. The spectral field measurements allow calculation of weighted integrals to compare to seven MODIS narrow bandwidths ranging the UV through Infrared, as well as a broadband integration to compare to the MODIS shortwave albedo. We additionally compare our field measurements to albedo measured at the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) station at Summit. Using the MODIS Version 005 Direct Broadcast product, high-quality retrievals only, comparison to field measurements results in root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.033 for the MODIS shortwave product, and RMSE for the MODIS narrow bandwidths ranging 0.022–0.077. The new MODIS Version 006 product shows considerable improvement, with shortwave RMSE of 0.026, and narrow bandwidths ranging 0.020–0.048. These error values for the Version 006 albedo product show an improvement in reported error values from previous MODIS field validations in Greenland, which have been limited to broadband data from the Greenland Climate Network Automatic Weather Stations.

AB - The conservation of coastal ecosystems can provide considerable coastal protection benefits, but this role has not been sufficiently accounted for in coastal planning and engineering. Substantial evidence now exists showing how, and under what conditions, ecosystems can play a valuable function in wave and storm surge attenuation, erosion reduction, and in the longer term maintenance of the coastal profile. Both through their capacity for self repair and recovery, and through the often considerable cobenefits they provide, ecosystems can offer notable advantages over traditional engineering approaches in some settings. They can also be combined in 'hybrid' engineering designs. We make 10 recommendations to encourage the utilization of existing knowledge and to improve the incorporation of ecosystems into policy, planning and funding for coastal hazard risk reduction.

AB - Analyzing a difficult subject that pervades contract law and which is vital to the national economy, many scholars have written about boilerplate contracts. With her 2013 book, Boilerplate: The Fine Print, Vanishing Rights and the Rule Of Law, Professor Margaret Jane Radin weighs in on the discussion, rejecting utilitarian-welfare notions that economic efficiency can justify the extensive use of mass market boilerplate. In her main contention, Radin argues that mass market standard form contracts improperly degrade consumer rights in the area of voluntary consent (herein "normative degradation"). Although her book has achieved great renown, receiving high praise from prominent commentators, with plaudits such as "groundbreaking," "a great achievement," and a "masterpiece," I respectfully suggest that the book has problems on both doctrinal and normative grounds. In my Article, I summarize the author's argument on normative degradation, identify my concerns, and propose an alternative formulation. My counter thesis is that both statute and court decisions properly support consumer rights in the area of voluntary consent for mass-market standard form contracts. Besides being the first full-length critique of Boilerplate, this Article also has contributed some original observations to the secondary literature, most prominently identifying a division of authority on whether mutual assent and freedom of contract exist with adhesion contracts. I also provide a solution for these conflicts. Because a valid normative and legal argument must reflect accurate doctrinal principles, I question the views of those commentators praising Radin's book as a valuable contribution to contract law.

AB - The work described herein discusses the application of a frequency-wavenumber signal processing technique to signals from rectangular infrasound arrays for detection and estimation of the direction of travel of infrasound. Arrays of 100 sensors were arranged in square configurations with sensor spacing of 2 m. Wind noise data were collected at one site. Synthetic infrasound signals were superposed on top of the wind noise to determine the accuracy and sensitivity of the technique with respect to signal-to-noise ratio. The technique was then applied to an impulsive event recorded at a different site. Preliminary results demonstrated the feasibility of this approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Speech signals can be converted into electrical audio signals using either conventional air conduction (AC) microphone or a contact bone conduction (BC) microphone. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of the location of a BC microphone on the intensity and frequency spectrum of the recorded speech. Twelve locations, 11 on the talker's head and 1 on the collar bone, were investigated. The speech sounds were three vowels (/u/, /a/, /i/) and two consonants (/m/, /∫/). The sounds were produced by 12 talkers. Each sound was recorded simultaneously with two BC microphones and an AC microphone. Analyzed spectral data showed that the BC recordings made at the forehead of the talker were the most similar to the AC recordings, whereas the collar bone recordings were most different. Comparison of the spectral data with speech intelligibility data collected in another study revealed a strong negative relationship between BC speech intelligibility and the degree of deviation of the BC speech spectrum from the AC spectrum. In addition, the head locations that resulted in the highest speech intelligibility were associated with the lowest output signals among all tested locations. Implications of these findings for BC communication are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - During group marches, soldiers must walk in step with one another at the same imposed cadence. The literature suggests that shorter trainees may be more susceptible to injury due to overstriding that can occur when taller recruits dictate marching cadence. This study assessed the effects of fixed cadence simulated marching at cadences above and below preferred step rate (PSR) on lower extremity joint mechanics in individuals who were unaccustomed to marching. During three separate visits, 13 volunteers walked with a 20 kg load on a force-sensing treadmill at self-selected PSR, PSR+15% (shorter strides), and PSR-15% (longer strides) at 1.3 m/s for 60 min. Two-way RM ANOVAs (cadence by time) were performed during the stance phase. Ranges of motion and anteroposterior ground reaction force increased significantly as cadence decreased (P < .03). Knee extension moment increased slightly when step rate decreased from PSR+15% (shortest strides, 0.85 ± 0.2 N m/kg) to PSR (0.87 ± 0.3 N m/kg, 3% increase); however, this increase was substantially greater (20% increase) when cadence was decreased from PSR to PSR-15% (longest strides, 1.09 ± 0.3 N m/kg). Our results indicate that overstriding during fixed-cadence marching is a factor that can substantially increase mechanical stress on lower extremity joints. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - Background: Infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have a poor prognosis. Intensification of therapy has resulted in fewer relapses but increased early deaths, resulting in failure to improve survival.Procedure: AALL0631 is a Phase 3 study for infants (<366 days of age) with newly diagnosed ALL. Induction initially (Cohort 1) consisted of 3 weeks of therapy based on COG P9407. Due to excessive early mortality, induction was amended to a less intensive 5 weeks of therapy based on Interfant-99. Additionally, enhanced supportive care guidelines were incorporated with hospitalization during induction until evidence of marrow recovery and recommendations for prevention/treatment of infections (Cohort 2).Results: Induction mortality was significantly lower for patients in Cohort 2 (2/123, 1.6%) versus Cohort 1 (4/26, 15.4%; P = 0.009). All induction deaths were infection related except one due to progressive disease (Cohort 2). Sterile site infections were lower for patients in Cohort 2 (24/123, 19.5%) versus Cohort 1 (15/26, 57.7%; P = 0.0002), with a significantly lower rate of Gram positive infections during induction for patients in Cohort 2, P = 0.0002. No clinically significant differences in grades 3-5 non-infectious toxicities were observed between the two cohorts. Higher complete response rates were observed at end induction intensification for Cohort 2 (week 9, 94/100, 94%) versus Cohort 1 (week 7, 17/25, 68%; P = 0.0.0012).Conclusion: De-intensification of induction therapy and enhanced supportive care guidelines significantly decreased induction mortality and sterile site infections, without decreasing complete remission rates.

AB - Background: As the number of sports participants continues to rise, so does the number of sports injuries. Establishing a valid method of identifying athletes at elevated risk for injury could lead to intervention programs that lower injury rates and improve overall athlete performance. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS)TM is an efficient and reliable method to screen movement patterns during the performance of specific tasks. The purpose of this study is to explore the association between pre-season FMS TM scores and the development of injury in a population of collegiate athletes Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study Methods: FMSTM scores were obtained for 160 collegiate athletes and injury development was tracked throughout the season. These athletes were both male and female and participated in contact and noncontact sports. Redundancies were utilized with injury data collection, including medical record reviews and interviews with team athletic trainers, to ensure that all injuries requiring medical attention were captured. At the conclusion of the season, a logistic regression analysis was performed to determine which combination of factors best predicted injury. Results: Athletes with an FMSTM composite score at 14 or below combined with a self-reported past history of injury were at 15 times increased risk of injury. A positive likelihood ratio of 5.8 was calculated which improved the probability of predicting injury from 33% pretest to 74% posttest. Conclusions: This study adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating a predictive relationship between FMSTM composite scores and past history of injury with the development of future injury.

AB - This evidence-based review examined the evidence supporting the use of occupation-based interventions to improve areas of occupation and social participation poststroke. A total of 39 studies met the inclusion criteria and were critically evaluated. Most of the literature targeted activity of daily living (ADL)–based interventions and collectively provided strong evidence for the use of occupation-based interventions to improve ADL performance. The evidence related to instrumental ADLs was much more disparate, with limited evidence to support the use of virtual reality interventions and emerging evidence to support driver education programs to improve occupational performance poststroke. Only 6 studies addressed leisure, social participation, or rest and sleep, with sufficient evidence to support only leisure-based interventions. The implications of this review for research, education, and practice in occupational therapy are also discussed.

AB - Historians have often used a 1966 Army report nicknamed PROVN - full title was "A Program for the Pacification and Long-Term Development of South Vietnam" - either to cast aspersions on the commander of US forces in Vietnam between 1964 and 1968, General William C. Westmoreland, or to praise his successor, General Creighton Abrams. This interpretation is simplistic and inaccurate. Although the report criticized aspects of the war under Westmoreland, its target was really the US and Vietnamese governments. Moreover, PROVN's conclusions were less radical and its remedies less novel than observers have tended to admit. A fresh look at PROVN reveals significant continuities in thought between Westmoreland, the report, and Abrams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Anglo-American air attack on the city of Dresden in February 1945 has become one of the most famous events of World War II. The word "Dresden" is typically one of the first uttered whenever the topic of strategic bombing is raised. And yet, like many other high-profile historical events, the Dresden raid is encrusted with myth and misunderstanding. This article is an effort to make sense of a complicated and much misunderstood episode in the history of modern warfare and to make sense of it in the context in which it occurred. The article draws on 1960's literature on Dresden, earlier histories, and a wide array of primary sources in an effort to provide for teachers, scholars, and general readers a comprehensive but still concise overview of the air raid that has won such a central place in the history of World War II.

AB - This article highlights the development of collaborative virtual design environments (CVDE) a boon for users. There are shortcomings with 2-D generated and projected images because they do not provide a true immersion in a 3-D environment or a feeling of total presence in a real-world situation. To overcome these limitations, more realistic virtual reality (VR) and 3-D displays and environments have been developed. The VR application to product and system design activities, allowing the viewing and review of entire systems, assemblies, and parts. They provide far more realistic 3-D displays and even a rotational capability for viewing inside, on top of, beside, or under objects in reduced, normal, or large scale-in local or networked environments. If needed, tactile response systems provide a sense of grasping, rotating, picking up, and movement. Fortunately, these enabling technologies are available at a time when public and private sector organizations are continuously seeking ways to improve productivity and effectiveness in task accomplishment. Many organizations are using a variety of first and second generation CVDEs routinely as a foundation for collaborative virtual design and product development.

AB - Many manufacturers have discovered that optimizing design parameters is a costeffective means of improving product quality and being competitive in the world market. In this regard, the issues of robust design (RD) and tolerance design (TD) are clearly important, but there is significant room for improvement. The primary objective of this paper is to propose a set of enhanced optimization strategies by combining RD and TD. To be more specific, first, we consider an alternative experimental scheme using response surface methodology, while avoiding the use of controversial tools for RD such as orthogonal arrays and signal-to-noise ratios. Secondly, we discuss an enhanced optimization model by simultaneously considering both the process mean and variance, and then show that this model provides a better (or at least equal) solution in terms of the control factor settings. Thirdly, we show how the response functions for the process mean and variance, which are estimated by using an RD principle, are transmitted into the TD stage. Fourthly, we propose an optimization model for TD and present closed-form solutions for optimum tolerance limits. Finally, we study the possible effects of major cost components, and observe the behaviour of the optimum control parameter settings and the tolerance limits by carrying out sensitivity analysis.

AB - Floods have long had a major impact on society and the environment, evidenced by the more than 1,500 federal disaster declarations since 1952 that were associated with flooding. Calendar year 2011 was an epic year for floods in the United States, from the flooding on the Red River of the North in late spring to the Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri River basin floods in the spring and summer to the flooding caused by Hurricane Irene along the eastern seaboard in August. As a society, we continually seek to reduce flood impacts, with these efforts loosely grouped into two categories: mitigation and risk awareness. Mitigation involves such activities as flood assessment, flood control implementation, and regulatory activities such as storm water and floodplain ordinances. Risk awareness ranges from issuance of flood forecasts and warnings to education of lay audiences about the uncertainties inherent in assessing flood probability and risk. This paper concentrates on the issue of flood risk awareness, specifically the importance of hydrologic data and good interagency communication in providing accurate and timely flood forecasts to maximize risk awareness. The 2011 floods in the central United States provide a case study of the importance of hydrologic data and the value of proper, timely, and organized communication and collaboration around the collection and dissemination of that hydrologic data in enhancing the effectiveness of flood forecasting and flood risk awareness.

AB - For the manufacturing community, determining the optimal process mean can often lead to a significant reduction in waste and increased opportunity for monetary gain. Given the process specification limits and associated rework or rejection costs, the traditional method for identifying the optimal process mean involves assuming values for each of the process distribution parameters prior to implementing an optimization scheme. In contrast, this article proposes integrating response surface methods into the framework of the problem, thus removing the need to make assumptions on the parameters. Furthermore, whereas researchers have studied models to investigate this research problem for a single quality characteristic and multiple nominal-the-best type characteristics, this article specifically examines the mixed multiple quality characteristic problem. A non-linear programming routine with economic considerations is established to facilitate the identification of the optimal process mean vector. An analysis of the sensitivity corresponding to the cost structure, tolerance, and quality loss settings is also provided to illustrate their effect on the solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Despite the widespread use of nourishment in California, few studies estimate the welfare benefits of increased beach width. This paper relies on panel data funded by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other agencies. Beach choices of respondents were combined with beach attribute data to reveal how changes in width affect choice and the economic value of beach visits. We use a random-utility approach to show that the value of beach width varies for different types of beach uses: water contact, sand-, and pavement-based activities. We also find that the marginal value of beach width depends on initial beach width. ( JEL Q50) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The M2 machine gun has a Stellite-lined barrel. When Saboted-Light-Armor-Penetrator (SLAP) ammunition is fired in M2 barrels, the bore often constricts below the minimum diameter in less than 2,500 rounds. The requirement is 10,000 rounds. When fired with ball ammunition, the M2 barrel exceeds that requirement. Although SLAP ammunition is not widely used, solving the wear issue with SLAP may improve the barrel life with ball ammunition. The following work is presented: a literature search, an analysis of the wear phenomenon and manufacturing process, as well as recommendations to improve M2 barrel life. Brief mention will be made of prototype small caliber gun barrels being fabricated and tested. Previous work and testing conducted herein find that the bore constriction is most likely caused by inadequate shrink fit during the barrel assembly process. That is, test results find some correlation between barrels with low round count and non-conforming barrel assembly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The effects of severe thermal and pressure transient pulses on the interior of coated tubes with known defects (cracks and blisters) have been analyzed using finite-element methods. For the modeling, both axisymmetric and three-dimensional (3-D) meshes were developed and used to assess the transient thermal- and stress-states and the propensity for fracture related damage. For all calculations, temperature dependent thermophysical and elastic properties were used during the analysis. The model also utilized uniform heating and pressure across the ID surface imposed via convective coefficients and a piece-wise linear pressure function. Results indicated that both had a significant influence on the maximum circumferential (hoop) stresses and temperatures and that the compressive thermal stresses help to offset the tensile stresses generated by the pressure. Calculations also looked into the influence of these factors when a cracks and/or blister defect was introduced at the interface of the coating and substrate with and without pressure.

AB - Gleeble testing was performed to assess the solid/liquid metal embrittlement of gun steels by copper. An interior ballistics and finite element model provided the maximum bore temperatures in a 155 mm gun after aggressive firing. Specimens were manufactured out of three different steels. Testing was performed on bare steel as well as copper plated specimens at temperatures ranging from 868°C to 1,100°C. Additionally, notched and un-notched specimens were tested. After testing, metallography, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy were performed. Embrittlement occurred in all copper plated steels tested at 1,100°C. Below 1,100°C, there was only slight evidence of embrittlement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Electromagnetic (EM) railguns are similar to conventional guns in that both provide forward acceleration to the projectile, while sustaining the EM force or pressure during launch of projectiles. They both are subjected to an extreme thermal and erosive condition resulting from electrical resistance or combustion gas. While there are similarities, there are also striking differences due to the difference of propulsion mechanisms. Both are explored and compared in the present paper with emphasis placed on the aspect of materials and mechanics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The use of refractory materials is currently being developed for gun barrel coatings and liners. Explosive cladding has been shown to be a successful method for bonding liners into 25-mm M242 Bushmaster barrels. The process relies on commercially available tube products that serve as the liner materials, which are often difficult to manufacture. Cold spray is a novel process used to consolidate metal powders into both thin coatings and large bulk materials that is being investigated as a cost effective alternative to conventional processing techniques. This work examines the use of cold spray as it pertains to the consolidation of Ta donor tubes for explosively bonded gun liners. Ta tubes were consolidated and annealed to increase the ductility of the material from 0.2% strain to 35% strain as determined by tensile testing. Ta donor tube was successfully explosively clad to 25 mm gun barrel forging. Bond strength testing results of explosively clad cold spray tube were found to be comparable to commercially obtained liners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Both conventional understanding and positive psychology recognise an important link between people's character strengths and how they perform their jobs. However, no research to date has focused on the relationship of employees' wisdom strengths, potential mediating effects and creative task performance. Utilising a large heterogeneous sample ( N = 974) of working adults, this study found that participants' levels of the character strengths of wisdom were positively related to their performance on a creative task and negatively related to their reported level of stress. In addition, stress was found to be negatively related to creative task performance, with reported stress partly mediating the relationship between participants' wisdom and their performance on the creative task. Implications for incorporating character strengths in the development of HRM theory and practice conclude the article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Foreign ownership of government debt has increased steadily over the past 30 years with the globalization of financial markets. The increased availability of foreign borrowing may make it easier for countries to pursue bellicose policies by altering the cost-benefit calculations associated with international conflict, giving rise to an underappreciated link between globalization and military action. This has not been addressed because globalization is most often approached through the income statement, such as trade flows, or the asset side of the balance sheet, such as foreign direct investment. A series of empirical tests using time-series cross-section analysis of militarized disputes, finds a strong relationship between foreign debt ownership and conflict. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The improvised explosive device (IED) is a weapon of strategic influence on today's battlefield. IED detonations occur predominantly on roads, footpaths, or trails. Therefore, locations are best described when constrained to the road network, and some spaces on the network are more dangerous at specific times of the day. We propose a statistical model that reduces the spatial location to one dimension and uses a cyclic time as a second dimension. Based on the Poisson process methodology, we develop normalised, inhomogeneous, bivariate intensity functions measuring the threat of attack to support resourcing decisions. A simulation and an analysis of attacks on a main supply route in Baghdad are given to illustrate the proposed methods. Additionally, we provide an overview of the growing demand for the analysis efforts in support of operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and provide an extensive literature review of developments in counter-IED analysis.

AB - Construction project managers are often faced with the challenge of managing a complex construction process consisting of multiple trades working on a large number of interdependent tasks. A social network is a pattern of ties that exist between different entities (i.e., people, organizations, countries). There is an underlying social network of trades that exists with a construction project and recognizing it can help a management team succeed in this challenging environment. A $50 million project involving 43 trades was studied over a 28-week period. Pajek, a social network analysis program, was used to generate a series of 14 social networks for the trades involved. Both degree and eigenvector centrality were analyzed to reflect the distribution of relationships through the network and to identify the key trades. This research is useful to project managers and is significant as it outlines and illustrates a method of identifying the underlying network and associated key trades of a construction project based on spatial proximity. While this research is based upon an individual case study, the apsects of this research are repeatable. The methods presented in this paper will enable others to develop a social network that is tailored for a specific aspect of a project, ranging from contract development teams to the individual trades using a critical path method (CPM) schedule.

AB - Improving productivity and reducing work-in-process are two activities that can improve project performance, but are often difficult to accomplish. The construction process is complex and consists of a large number of interdependent and sequential tasks. Construction activities are simulated as serial production lines, using state- and resource-based simulation of construction processes simulation models, to investigate the effects that different production control strategies (push/pull and balanced/unbalanced) have on productivity and work-in-process. The sensitivity to task duration variance is also examined for different working strategies. Simulation results are used to compare the models based on their performance. In the presence of duration variance, push strategies result in higher productivity, whereas pull strategies result in lower amounts of work-in-process. Pull strategies are more sensitive to the presence of duration variance. Work-in-process is also a function of the coefficient of variance. Simulation results are used to compare the tradeoffs between strategies. The findings will help construction managers better understand the effects of working strategies and conditions to decide which production control strategy is best suited for their needs.

N2 - Ricin and abrin are among the most lethal plant toxins known to humans. Even minute amounts, if effectively used, could cause considerable injury and mortality. Because of potency, stability, relative ease of production, and worldwide availability of their source plants, ricin and abrin are potential biological weapons. Ricin was also developed as an aerosol biological weapon by the U.S. and its allies during WWII, but was never used in battle. Ricin is not considered an effective weapon of mass destruction, but it has been the agent of choice in numerous biocrimes. Despite being associated with death and biological warfare, both ricin and abrin are also well known for their use in therapeutic applications and biomedical research. This article provides an overview of ricin and abrin, and their perspectives in bioterrorism and biocrime.

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

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

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

AB - Objective: Assess the impact of ostomy formation on quality of life for U.S. Service Members.Methods: U.S. personnel sustaining colorectal trauma from 2003 to 2011 were identified using the Department of Defense Trauma Registry. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted utilizing prospective interviews with standard survey instruments. Primary outcome measures were the Stoma Quality of Life Scale and Veterans RAND 36 scores and subjective responses. Patients with colorectal trauma not requiring ostomy served as controls.Results: Of 177 available patients, 90 (50.8%) male veterans consented to participate (55 ostomy, 35 control). No significant differences were observed between ostomy and control groups for Injury Severity Score (25.6 ± 9.9 vs. 22.9 ± 11.8, p = 0.26) or mechanism of injury (blast: 55 vs. 52%, p = 0.75); nonostomates had fewer anorectal injuries (3.2 vs. 47.9%, p < 0.01). Median follow-up was 6.7 years. Veterans RAND-36 Physical and Mental Component Scores were similar between groups. About 45.8% of ostomates were willing-to-trade a median of 10 years (interquartile range = 5-15) of their remaining life for gastrointestinal continuity. At last follow-up, 95.9% of respondents' combat-related ostomies were reversed with a median duration of 6 (range = 3-19) months diverted.Conclusions: Ostomy creation in a combat environment remains safe and does not have a quantifiable impact on long-term quality of life.

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

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

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

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

AB - This paper investigates the effects of pay and reenlistment bonuses on quit rates in the U.S. Army. A three stage least squares analysis of 1981 data shows that quit rates were negatively related to pay level and, even more so, to the size of the bonus offered. The effects on the quit rate were significantly greater, however, for soldiers in combat occupations than for those in noncombat occupations. The author speculates that the skills learned by combat soldiers are less marketable in the civilian labor market than the more general skills acquired by noncombat soldiers; he thus urges higher bonuses in noncombat occupations.

AB - This study, based on Fiedler's Contingency Model of Leadership Effectiveness (1967), examines the effect of job rotation, succession, and reassignment of superiors on the behavior and performance of a sample of 115 infantry squad leaders. Participants were tested at the beginning of their training cycle and again six to nine months later. Task-related behaviors were primarily affected by changes in job relationships - sometimes moderated by leader experience - whereas person-related behaviors tended to be a function of individual leadership style, based on a Least-Preferred Coworker (LPC) score.

AB - This paper investigates the classical n-job, M-machine flow-shop scheduling problem under the assumption that jobs are processed on all machines in the same order. Based on the heuristic job-pairing technique and the decomposition strategy, a heuristic decomposition algorithm is developed which will generate at least a near-optimal schedule for the flow-shop scheduling problem. The proposed algorithm is compared to the existing decomposition approach and is found to be superior to Ashour's decomposition algorithm, both in increased solution quality and decreased computational time required to solve the problem.

AB - The Continental Army entrusted many of its junior officers with a great degree of responsibility and autonomy. Captain Henry Lee's role in commanding a vital foraging operation in Delaware and Maryland for the Main Army at Valley Forge in February and March 1778 sheds light on the role of a company-grade officer within the broader framework of petite guerre. Lee demonstrated his ability at planning and executing autonomous operations and proved himself a capable, thoughtful, and energetic officer in an important, but overlooked expedition that reveals something of the important operational middle ground occupied by American company-grade light officers.

AB - Silicon carbide (SiC) depletion mode junction field-effect transistors (JFETs) are well suited for pulsed power applications as an opening switch due to their normally ON (N-ON) nature. To assess the robustness and breakdown energy tolerance of JFETs under pulsed conditions, they must be evaluated for breakdown energy capability before failure. This is very important for circuit breaker applications due to the large voltage spikes induced during the opening of the circuit breaker while it still conducts substantial load current. These voltage spikes can drive the JFET into the breakdown voltage regime and may result in device failure if the energy dissipation is above the tolerance limit. To determine the maximum avalanche energy of the device under repetitive pulsed conditions, a N-ON SiC JFET with a nominal rating of 1200 V/13 A was driven into punchthrough breakdown using an unclamped inductive switching (UIS) circuit. The testing comprised of 4000 repetitive pulses at 25 ^\circC case temperature at a fixed gate voltage of -20~V . The drain current was increased after every 1000 pulses to increase the energy dissipated. The JFET was able to withstand 1000 pulses at a maximum energy dissipation value of 1160 mJ before failure. The JFET triode breakdown characteristics were analyzed after every 1000 pulses. The peak UIS energy of 1160 mJ corresponded to an energy density of 16.6 J/cm^2 based on their active area.

AB - This study benchmarked rates of mental health problems, adjustment difficulties, and perceptions of unit climate among 505 U.S. soldiers (primarily National Guard) deployed to the Horn of Africa in 2012. In addition, the study examined whether differences across these outcomes exist between combat veterans (n = 239) and noncombat veterans (n = 242). Rates of mental health problems among soldiers on this noncombat deployment were lower than rates typically found among soldiers on combat deployments. Furthermore, soldiers without previous combat experience had lower rates of mental health problems and aggression than combat veterans. Similar differences were evident when adjustment difficulties and unit climate variables were compared. Although combat veterans could be valuable in training new soldiers, the results of this study indicate that combat veterans may need more targeted resources to facilitate their adjustment if they are to be optimally utilized.

AB - Consider the estimation of a signal \({\mathbf {x}}\in \mathbb {R}^{N}\) from noisy observations \({{\mathbf {r}}={\mathbf {x}}+{\mathbf {z}}}\) , where the input \({{\mathbf x}}\) is generated by an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Gaussian mixture source, and \({{\mathbf z}}\) is additive white Gaussian noise in parallel Gaussian channels. Typically, the \(\ell _{2}\) -norm error (squared error) is used to quantify the performance of the estimation process. In contrast, we consider the \(\ell _\infty \) -norm error (worst case error). For this error metric, we prove that, in an asymptotic setting where the signal dimension \(N\to \infty \) , the \(\ell _\infty \) -norm error always comes from the Gaussian component that has the largest variance, and the Wiener filter asymptotically achieves the optimal expected \(\ell _\infty \) -norm error. The i.i.d. Gaussian mixture case can be extended to i.i.d. Bernoulli-Gaussian distributions, which are often used to model sparse signals. Finally, our results can be extended to linear mixing systems with i.i.d. Gaussian mixture inputs, in settings where a linear mixing system can be decoupled to parallel Gaussian channels.

AB - Evidence of an actual or perceived gap in ideological beliefs between civilian and military communities informs current debates on the military and its relationship to broader society. The authors examine one cohort of the military and its members’ perception of their own ideology in relation to their civilian counterparts using a 2009 survey of cadets at the United States Military Academy. The authors ascertain cadet perceptions of (1) cadet ideological leanings on individual and aggregate levels, (2) the ideological leanings of the civilian population, and (3) the civilian population’s assessment of the military’s ideological leanings. The authors attempt to discern whether or not this military subpopulation perceives itself as different from the rest of society. The authors find that while members of the Army’s future officer corps perceive themselves as more conservative than their civilian peers and society writ large, as a group they hold rather moderate political views.

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

AB - Introduction: Musculoskeletal low back pain (LBP) is commonly treated symptomatically, with practice guidelines advocating reserving surgery for cases that fail conservative care. This study examined medical comorbidities and demographic variables as risk factors for chronic/recurrent LBP, spinal surgery, and time to surgery.Methods: A 2015 retrospective cohort study was conducted in U.S. Army soldiers (N=1,092,420) from 2002 to 2011. Soldiers with medical encounters for LBP were identified using ICD-9 codes. Surgical treatment for LBP was identified according to Current Procedural Terminology codes. Comorbid medical conditions (psychological disorders, sleep disorders, tobacco use, alcohol use, obesity) and demographic variables were examined as risk factors for chronic/recurrent LBP within 1 year of the incident encounter, surgery for LBP, and time to surgery.Results: Of 383,586 patients with incident LBP, 104,169 (27%) were treated for chronic/recurrent LBP and 7,446 (1.9%) had surgery. Comorbid variables showed increased risk of chronic/recurrent LBP ranging from 26% to 52%. Tobacco use increased risk for surgery by 33% (risk ratio, 1.33; 95% CI=1.24, 1.44). Comorbid variables showed 10%-42% shorter time to surgery (psychological disorders, time ratio [TR]=0.90, 95% CI=0.83, 0.98; sleep disorders, TR=0.68, 95% CI=0.60, 0.78; obesity, TR=0.88, 95% CI=0.79, 0.98; tobacco use, TR=0.58, 95% CI=0.54, 0.63; alcohol use, TR=0.85, 95% CI=0.70, 1.05). Women showed 20% increased risk of chronic/recurrent LBP than men but 42% less risk of surgery.Conclusions: In the presence of comorbidities associated with mental health, sleep, obesity, tobacco use, and alcohol use, LBP shows increased risk of becoming chronic/recurrent and faster time to surgery.

AB - The aim of this study was to explore the utility of "omics" approaches in monitoring aquatic environments where complex, often unknown stressors make chemical-specific risk assessment untenable. We examined changes in the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) ovarian transcriptome following 4-day exposures conducted at three sites in Minnesota (MN, USA). Within each site, fish were exposed to water from three locations along a spatial gradient relative to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharge. After exposure, site-specific impacts on gene expression in ovaries were assessed. Using an intragradient point of comparison, biological responses specifically associated with the WWTP effluent were identified using functional enrichment analyses. Fish exposed to water from locations downstream of the effluent discharges exhibited many transcriptomic responses in common with those exposed to the effluent, indicating that effects of the discharge do not fully dissipate downstream. Functional analyses showed a range of biological pathways impacted through effluent exposure at all three sites. Several of those impacted pathways at each site could be linked to potential adverse reproductive outcomes associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in female fathead minnows, specifically signaling pathways associated with oocyte meiosis, TGF-beta signaling, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and epidermal growth factor receptor family (ErbB), and gene sets associated with cyclin B-1 and metalloproteinase. The utility of this approach comes from the ability to identify biological responses to pollutant exposure, particularly those that can be tied to adverse outcomes at the population level and those that identify molecular targets for future studies.

AB - Global warming may result in substantial sea level rise and more intense hurricanes over the next century, leading to more severe coastal flooding. Here, observed climate and sea level trends over the last century (c. 1900s to 2000s) are used to provide insight regarding future coastal inundation trends. The actual impacts of Hurricane Katrina (2005) in New Orleans are compared with the impacts of a similar hypothetical hurricane occurring c. 1900. Estimated regional sea level rise since 1900 of 0.75 m, which contains a dominant land subsidence contribution (0.57 m), serves as a 'prototype' for future climate-change induced sea level rise in other regions. Landform conditions c. 1900 were estimated by changing frictional resistance based on expected additional wetlands at lower sea levels. Surge simulations suggest that flood elevations would have been 15 to 60 % lower c. 1900 than the conditions observed in 2005. This drastic change suggests that significantly more flood damage occurred in 2005 than would have occurred if sea level and climate conditions had been like those c. 1900. We further show that, in New Orleans, sea level rise dominates surge-induced flooding changes, not only by increasing mean sea level, but also by leading to decreased wetland area. Together, these effects enable larger surges. Projecting forward, future global sea level changes of the magnitude examined here are expected to lead to increased flooding in coastal regions, even if the storm climate is unchanged. Such flooding increases in densely populated areas would presumably lead to more widespread destruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Aerodynamic particle sizer (APS) users typically calibrate the particle sizing capabilities, but not the counting efficiency upon which aerosol concentration results are based. Herein, comparisons were made between the counts provided by an ink jet aerosol generator (IJAG) with those measured by an APS. Near-monodisperse (geometric standard deviation of about 1.06) liquid or solid aerosols in the size range of 0.95 to 13.3 μm aerodynamic diameter (AD) generated with an IJAG were released into the inner inlet-tube of the APS in a manner that rendered APS wall and aspiration losses negligible. For most experiments, the IJAG generated 75 particles/s, which rate was maintained by the IJAG system through control of electrical pulses applied to its ink jet cartridge. For particles in the size range of 2–13.3 μm AD, the ratio of relative detection efficiency (ratio of the number of particles counted by the APS to the number reported as generated by the IJAG) was 99.3 ± 1.4%; however, for test particles between 0.95 and 2 μm AD, the relative detection efficiency was somewhat lower, but the drop off was less than about 2%. This slight drop off is likely associated with the light scattering detection approach and corresponding counting algorithm of the APS. Tests were conducted where the IJAG produced 7.0 μm AD particles at rates of 1 to 500 s-1and the results showed essentially a 1:1 correspondence between IJAG and APS counts. The presence of smaller-sized background particles did not affect the measured APS counts of larger-sized challenge particles.

This method is based on the measurement of range-resolved PM backscattering values with a micropulse light detection and ranging (LIDAR; MPL) device. Field measurements were completed during March 2010 at Tooele Army Depot, Utah, which is an arid continental site. PM10EFs were quantified for OB of M1 propellant and OD of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). EFs from this study are compared with previous OB/OD measurements reported in the literature that have been determined with point measurements either in enclosed or ambient environments, and with concurrent airborne point measurements. PM10mass EFs, determined with the hybrid-ORS method, were 7.8 × 10−3kg PM10/kg M1 from OB of M1 propellant, and 0.20 kg PM10/kg TNT from OD of TNT. Compared with previous results reported in the literature, the hybrid-ORS method EFs were 13% larger for OB and 174% larger for OD. Compared with the concurrent airborne measurements, EF values from the hybrid-ORS method were 37% larger for OB and 54% larger for OD. For TNT, no statistically significant differences were observed for the EFs measured during the detonation of 22.7 and 45.4 kg of TNT, supporting that the total amount of detonated mass in this mass range does not have an effect on the EFs for OD of TNT.

AB - Abstract: Non-hydrostatic models such as Surface WAves till SHore (SWASH) resolve many of the relevant physics in coastal wave propagation such as dispersion, shoaling, refraction, dissipation and nonlinearity. However, for efficiency, they assume a single-valued surface and therefore do not resolve some aspects of breaking waves such as wave overturning, turbulence generation, and air entrainment. To study the ability of such models to represent nonlinear wave dynamics and statistics in a dissipative surf zone, we compare simulations with SWASH to flume observations of random, unidirectional waves, incident on a 1:30 planar beach. The experimental data includes a wide variation in the incident wave fields, so that model performance can be studied over a large range of wave conditions. Our results show that, without specific calibration, the model accurately predicts second-order bulk parameters such as wave height and period, the details of the spectral evolution, and higher-order statistics, such as skewness and asymmetry of the waves. Monte Carlo simulations show that the model can capture the principal features of the wave probability density function in the surf zone, and that the spectral distribution of dissipation in SWASH is proportional to the frequency squared, which is consistent with observations reported by earlier studies. These results show that relatively efficient non-hydrostatic models such as SWASH can be successfully used to parametrize surf zone wave processes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Springs in arid lands provide critical habitat for a variety of species and functions to humans, yet the ecology and management needs of springs to maintain these values are poorly understood. To examine plant communities along spring watercourse-upland gradients, we sampled 12 springs at low (desert) and high (forest) elevations on the Desert National Wildlife Refuge in the Mojave and Great Basin Deserts in southern Nevada. In contrast to the commonly reported positive relationship between native and exotic species richness in sampling studies, we did not find strong correlations (r² < 0.05) between native and exotic richness at any distance from watercourses. Additionally, exotic species cover was lower nearest (0 and 2 m) watercourses than at uplands 20 m from watercourses, which also differs from the hypothesis that watercourses are more heavily invaded than uplands. Exotic species were more pervasive at low-elevation compared to high-elevation springs, but the proportion of total plant cover comprised by exotics was still small (0.03 - 0.06) at low-elevation springs. Species distributions and ordinations suggested that compositional watercourse-upland gradients were often readily detectable, but the composition of springs was individualistic. Some springs contained wetland species such as Juncus saximontanus, while other springs contained species of dry-site affinity. This study also illustrated challenges associated with estimating reference conditions for arid-land springs, as there are no known data prior to the development (i.e., modifying surface flow) of the springs and no known unmodified springs on this landscape.

AB - Detailed field investigations and numerical modeling were conducted to evaluate transport and fate of chlorinated solvent contamination in a fractured sedimentary bedrock aquifer (sandstone/siltstone/mudstone) at a Superfund site in central New Jersey. Field investigations provided information on the fractured rock system hydrogeology, including hydraulic gradients, bulk hydraulic conductivity, fracture network, and rock matrix, and on depth discrete contaminant distribution in fractures (via groundwater sampling) and matrix (via detailed subsampling of continuous cores). The numerical modeling endeavor involved application of both an equivalent porous media (EPM) model for flow and a discrete fracture network (DFN) model for transport. This combination of complementary models, informed by appropriate field data, allowed a quantitative representation of the conceptual site model (CSM) to assess relative importance of various processes, and to examine efficacy of remedial alternatives. Modeling progressed in two stages: first a large-scale (20 km x 25 km domain) 3-D EPM flow model (MODFLOW) was used to evaluate the bulk groundwater flow system and contaminant transport pathways under historic and current aquifer stress conditions and current stresses. Then, results of the flow model informed a 2-D DFN transport model (FRACTRAN) to evaluate transport along a 1,000-m flowpath from the source represented as a 2-D vertical cross-section. The combined model results were used to interpret and estimate the current and potential future extent of rock matrix and aqueous-phase contaminant conditions and evaluate remedial strategies. Results of this study show strong effects of matrix diffusion and other processes on attenuating the plume such that future impacts on downgradient well fields under the hydraulic stresses modeled should be negligible. Results also showed futility of source remediation efforts in the fractured rock, and supported a technical impracticability (TI) waiver for the site. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB - Expanded use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in consumer products increases the potential for environmental release and unintended biological exposures. As a result, measurement techniques are needed to accurately quantify ENP size, mass, and particle number distributions in biological matrices. This work combines single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICPMS) with tissue extraction to quantify and characterize metallic ENPs in environmentally relevant biological tissues for the first time. ENPs were extracted from tissues via alkaline digestion using tetramethylarnmonium hydroxide (TMAH). Method development was performed using ground beef and was verified in Daphnia magna and Lumbriculus variegatus. ENPs investigated include 100 and 60 nm Au and Ag stabilized by polyvynylpyrrolidone (PVP). Mass- and number-based recovery of spiked Au and Ag ENPs was high (83-121%) from all tissues tested. Additional experiments suggested ENP mixtures (60 and 100 nm Ag ENPs) could be extracted and quantitatively analyzed. Biological exposures were also conducted to verify the applicability of the method for aquatic organisms. Size distributions and particle number concentrations were determined for ENPs extracted from D. magna exposed to 98 μg/L 100 nm Au and 4.8 μg/L 100 nm Ag ENPs. The D. magna nanoparticulate body burden for Au ENP uptake was 613 ± 230 μg/kgww, while the measured nanoparticulate body burden for D. magna exposed to Ag ENPs was 59 ± 52 μg/kgww Notably, the particle size distributions determined from D. magna tissues suggested minimal shifts in the size distributions of ENPs accumulated, as compared to die exposure media.

AB - Leersia oryzoides(rice cutgrass) is an obligate wetland plant common to agricultural drainage ditches. The objective of this greenhouse study was to expose plants to various flooding and aqueous nitrogen (N) concentrations and then to quantify the allocation of nutrients and biomass to plant components. Plants in the continuously flooded treatment (CF) had the highest tissue concentrations of copper (Cu), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), potassium (K), sodium (Na), and manganese (Mn) in one or more plant components. Plants in the partially flooded treatment (PF) had the highest concentrations of magnesium (Mg) in leaves. The N input affected phosphorus (P) and S concentrations in roots. Leaf, stem, and root biomass were highest in PF plants. Rhizome biomass was the lowest in CF plants. These results indicate thatL. oryzoidesmay significantly affect elemental concentrations in surface waters by its ability to uptake various elements and subsequent sequestration in various biomass components.

AB - Data on canopy trees (stems ≥ 15 cm DBH) in riparian wetlands, spanning from headwaters to large river floodplains, were used to test whether forest canopy composition differed among hydrogeomorphic (HGM) riverine subclasses and among physiographic sub-regions (Major Land Resource Areas; MLRA) within a given HGM subclass. Riverine stands ( n = 225) were sampled in four MLRA regions of the Southeastern U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Physiographic Provinces. Composition data were analyzed using Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling and Multiple-Response Permutation Procedures to evaluate differences among HGM subclasses and MLRA regions. Analyses showed that canopy composition differed among three a priori subclasses related to Strahler stream order: headwater complex (along 1st-3rd order streams), mid-gradient floodplain (4th-6th order), and low-gradient floodplain (> 6th order). Further, composition also differed by MLRA region within each subclass. Thus, not only was species composition related to riverine hydrogeomorphology across a wide physiographic area, but differences in composition within HGM subclasses were also related to sub-region. These data could be useful in defining floristic reference standards when evaluating floodplain condition in southeastern USA Coastal Plain stream networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study shows a comprehensive simulation of water and sediment fluxes from the catchment to the reach scale. We describe the application of a modelling cascade in a well researched study catchment through connecting stateof- the-art public domain models in ArcGIS. Three models are used consecutively: (1) the hydrological model SWAT to evaluate water balances, sediment input from fields and tile drains as a function of catchment characteristics; (2) the onedimensional hydraulic model HEC-RAS to depict channel erosion and sedimentation along a 9 km channel onedimensionally; and (3) the two-dimensional hydraulic model AdH for simulating detailed substrate changes in a 230 m long reach section over the course of one year. Model performance for the water fluxes is very good, sediment fluxes and substrate changes are simulated with good agreement to observed data. Improvement of tile drain sediment load, simulation of different substrate deposition events and carrying out data sensitivity tests are suggested as future work. Main advantages that can be deduced from this study are separate representation of field, drain and bank erosion processes; shown adaptability to lowland catchments and transferability to other catchments; usability of the model's output for habitat assessments.

AB - This paper investigates total ionizing dose (TID) effects on the piezoelectric properties of lead zirconate titanate (PZT). The capacitance and contact voltage of thin-film, PZT-based relays were measured following incremental ^60Co TID irradiations. The devices were held in several different bias conditions, during exposure. The direction of the biasing electric field during exposure, along with the polarization prior to exposure, has a measurable impact on post-irradiation operating voltage of the relay. In all cases, the switching voltage, as obtained via the peak values in a capacitance versus voltage sweep, shifted in a direction that would minimize the switching electric field in the direction of pre-exposure polarization. These effects were observed to be both significantly greater than the shifts experienced by a set of control samples, as well as reversible via aging at room temperature. The devices display remarkable robustness, operating during active TID exposure [dose rate = 855.6 rad(Si)/s], failing at a TID greater than 15 Mrad(Si). [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

T1 - CONSTRAINTS ON THE UPPER PRESSURE STABILITY OF BLUESCHIST FACIES METAMORPHISM ALONG THE REACTION: GLAUCOPHANE = TALC + 2 JADEITE IN THE Na2O-MgO-Al2O-SiO2-H2O SYSTEM.

AB - Blueschist-facies metamorphism, which is associated with high pressure and low temperature subduction zone metamorphism, is usually recognized by the presence of the sodic-amphibole glaucophane. Determining the upper- and lower- pressure stability of end-member glaucophane places important constraints on the conditions of blueschist metamorphism. An experimental investigation into the upper-pressure stability of glaucophane has been done in the system Na2O-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O over the range of 600 to 750 °C and 2.5 to 4.5 GPa. Mixtures of synthetic glaucophane, jadeite, and talc were used to determine the location of the reaction boundary glaucophane = 2 jadeite + talc by reversing the sense of reaction direction. The upper-pressure stability of glaucophane is located over a pressure interval (0.2-0.3 GPa in width) whose midpoints lie at 2.6 GPa at 600 °C and at 3.1 GPa at 700 °C, across which the proportion of glaucophane decreases to zero as talc and jadeite increase. This band has a positive dP/dT slope of around 0.005 GPa/°C. Glaucophane showed the largest change in composition, consistent with the incorporation of significant amounts of the nyböite (17-34 mol%) and cummingtonite (10-18 mol%) components. Talc showed minor, but definite incorporation of Na (0.08 atoms per formula unit, apfu) and Al (0.15 apfu) consistent with incorporation of the components aspidolite and tschermak-talc. Jadeite displayed no clear change from its ideal composition. The results from this study were combined with the lower-pressure stability of glaucophane + quartz reported earlier by Corona and Jenkins (2007) to refine the thermodynamic values for glaucophane (ΔfH° = -11,956.36 kj/mol), report an initial set of values for the amphibole nyböite (ΔfH° = -12,165.85 kj/mol) and phyllosilicate aspidolite (ΔfH° = -6163.86 kj/mol), and to develop activity-composition relationships for both the amphibole and talc in this chemical system. The results of this study place an upper-pressure limit to a key index mineral of the blueschist-facies at about 3.2 GPa at 700 °C, which is just above the quartz-coesite transition, allowing nearly end-member glaucophane to remain stable up to the conditions of ultra-high-pressure metamorphism.

AB - Abstract: Winter flounder habitat use in New York/New Jersey Harbor was examined through a long-term (2002–2010) bottom trawl sampling program (Aquatic Biological Survey) in which 5234 winter flounder were captured in 2069 samples collected at approximately 26 stations throughout the harbor. Interannual variability in catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) primarily was attributable to fluctuations in Year-1 juvenile CPUE, which was positively correlated with total annual egg abundances from the previous year. Adult male CPUE during the spawning season was positively correlated with total egg abundances of the same year, whereas adult female CPUE was unrelated to annual egg abundances in the harbor. Annual variation in adult male densities in the harbor during the spawning season reflects the intensity of estuarine spawning activity, whereas adult female densities may include non-reproductive, foraging individuals. Seasonal fluctuations in condition indices reflected energy use during the spawning season, with relatively high condition in January, reduced levels in March and April, and elevated condition again in May. Adult CPUE peaked in April, coincident with the critical feeding period that follows spawning. Mean April water temperatures were positively correlated with egg abundances the following year and Year-1 juvenile CPUE two years later. A similar correlation between April temperatures and Year-1 juvenile abundances two years later was demonstrated using published data for winter flounder collected in Niantic Bay, CT. Higher April water temperatures may enhance benthic secondary production during the critical feeding period, and thus increase prey availability for foraging adults that need to restore energy reserves in order to reproduce the following year. A direct examination of benthic secondary production and variation in winter flounder estuarine foraging and subsequent spawning activity is needed to more fully understand this relationship.

[•] Rapid assessment components were classified as rapid response, response, and stable variables categories. [•] The establishment of restoration milestones and performance standards should focus on rapid response variables within the first years after restoration followed by response variables in later years. [•] Stable variables should be maximized through site selection and restoration methodology. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Partial migration, a term referring to populations in which only a fraction of the individuals migrate, is a widespread phenomenon among fishes. However, it is not always clear whether there are only two alternatives (migration or residency) or a continuum of movement patterns. For example, Coho SalmonOncorhynchus kisutchare anadromous, and most individuals rear over the continental shelf or in offshore waters of the North Pacific Ocean; however, some Coho Salmon (known as residents) spend all or part of their marine lives within Puget Sound. The movements of residents are poorly documented, and it is unclear whether they ever leave Puget Sound and move to the coast of Washington and to what extent they move within Puget Sound. Accordingly, the goal of this study was to investigate the patterns of movement by immature Coho Salmon in Puget Sound at a series of spatial scales. We tagged 45 resident Coho Salmon in the central basin of Puget Sound with acoustic transmitters and detected their movements with fixed receivers in the Salish Sea. Seven individuals were detected as departing Puget Sound through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, but these fish did not differ in body size, origin (wild or hatchery), or tagging date from fish that remained in Puget Sound. The fish remaining as residents seldom moved between the marine basins of Puget Sound. Within the central basin, deeper/offshore sites had higher frequencies of detection and other indices of site use. Fish were more often present and moved more often at shallow sites close to shore during the night, whereas they were more often present and moved more at deep, offshore sites during the day. We suggest that rather than being a discrete behavior, residence in Puget Sound by Coho Salmon is part of a continuum of migratory behavior patterns.

AB - Manganese oxide (MnOx(s)) occurs naturally in soil and has a high affinity for trace metals adsorption. In this work, we quantified the factors (pH; low rate; use of oxidants such as bleach, H2O2, and O3; initial Mn(II) concentrations; and two types of geologic media) affecting MnOx(s) coatings onto Ottawa and aquifer sand using batch and column experiments. he batch experiments consisted of manual and automated titration, and the column experiments mimicked natural MnOx(s) adsorption and oxidation cycles as a strategy for in situ adsorption. A Pb solution of 50 mg L-1 was passed through MnOx(s)--coated sand at a low rate of 4 mL min-1 to determine its adsorption capacity. Batch experimental results showed that MnOx(s) coatings increased from pH 6 to 8, with maximum MnOx(s) coating occurring at pH 8. Regarding MnOx(s) coatings, bleach and O3 were highly effective compared with H2O2. he Ottawa sand had approximately twice the MnOx(s) coating of aquifer sand. he sequential increase in initial Mn(II) concentrations on both sands resulted in incremental buildup of MnOx(s). he automated procedure enhanced MnOx(s) coatings by 3.5 times compared with manual batch experiments. Column results showed that MnOx(s) coatings were highly dependent on initial Mn(II) and oxidant concentrations, pH, low rate, number of cycles (h), and the type of geologic media used. Manganese oxide coating exceeded 1700 mg kg-1 for Ottawa sand and 130 mg kg-1 for aquifer sand. he Pb adsorption exceeded 2200 mg kg-1 for the Ottawa sand and 300 mg kg -1 for the aquifer sand.

AB - Abstract: The presence of both cohesive and cohesionless particles in estuarine and lacustrine sediments makes it essential to model bed exchange of both types of particles. The usual practice is to select a purely empirical estimate of particle diameter marking the transition between the two behaviors. Based on available data on particle erosion and deposition in non-oscillating flows and viscoplastic properties of bed sediment, we have attempted to examine the likelihood of identifying the transition diameter within a less empirical framework. From the relationship between diameter and bed shear stress for a variety of cohesive and cohesionless sediments, it appears that two transition diameters can be defined. One is the largest diameter of clay mineral particles at which cohesion is considered to vanish. The other is the smallest diameter at which cohesionless behavior is assumed to end at the limit of the well-known Shields' relationship extended to very fine particles. These two diameters appear to be reasonably close for mainly inorganic mineral sediments. Assuming they are equal, six zones of bed exchange are identified in terms of diameter and bed shear stress. Depending on these two variables, zones of only erosion, no erosion or deposition, and only deposition can be designated. Realistic modeling of bed exchange of multi-size sediments requires that the full range of diameters be considered. Extension of this analysis to organic-rich sediments is pending better understanding of their rheological properties. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Existing ice and trash sluiceways are commonly used as benign, nonturbine routes for downstream passage of juvenile salmonids at hydropower dams. At The Dalles Dam on the Columbia River, we studied various operational configurations of sluiceway weirs to maximize sluiceway passage of juvenile Pacific salmonOncorhynchusspp. and steelheadO. mykiss. We applied hydroacoustic methods to compare fish passage rates and sluiceway efficiencies for two weir configurations in each year: three weirs (SL 1; i.e., collectively referring to the three weirs above main turbine unit [MU] 1) versus six weirs (SL 1+18) during 2004; and middle (SL 2+5) versus east (SL 2+19) powerhouse weir locations during 2005. Horizontal distributions at the sluiceway and turbines and the effects of operating turbines beneath open sluiceway gates were also analyzed. Sluiceway passage efficiency relative to the powerhouse (SLYphs) varied between study years, between spring and summer, and between day and night. In 2004, sluiceway passage rates were significantly higher (P= 0.0003) for SL 1+18 than for SL 1 during summer–night but were not significantly different between the two configurations during the other three season–day/night periods. The SLYphswas significantly higher for SL 1+18 than for SL 1. The location comparison during 2005 revealed no significant differences between the SL 2+5 and SL 2+19 configurations, except for summer–day. The experimental findings led to recommendations for long-term operations of The Dalles Dam sluiceway: open six rather than three sluiceway weirs to take advantage of the maximum hydraulic capacity of the sluiceway; open the three weirs above the westernmost operating MU and the three weirs at SL 8, where turbine passage rates are relatively high; operate the MUs below open sluiceway weirs as a standard procedure; operate the sluiceway 24 h/d year-round to maximize its benefits to juvenile salmonids; and use the same weir configuration year-round. These operational concepts are transferable to dams where sluiceway surface flow outlets are used to protect downstream-migrating fishes.

AB - Sluiceways at hydroelectric dams are designed to enable floating ice and debris to pass through the dams and may be used as an effective, nonturbine, surface route for out-migrating fishes to pass through dams. Each year, the sluiceway at The Dalles Dam on the Columbia River, USA, is normally operated between 1 April and 30 November and the spillway between 10 April and 31 August to enable downstream-migrating juvenile Pacific salmonids to pass. The only route available for fishes to pass the dam between 1 December and 31 March is through the turbines. This study evaluated downstream passage of adult steelheadOncorhynchus mykissat The Dalles Dam during various periods between 1 November and 10 April for years 2008 through 2010. The purpose of the study was to determine the efficacy of operating the sluiceway between 1 December and 31 March to provide a relatively safe, nonturbine, surface outlet for downstream passage of adult steelhead that overwinter in the lower Columbia River (i.e., fallbacks) or for adult steelhead attempting to emigrate back to the marine environment after spawning (i.e., kelts). We applied a fixed-location hydroacoustic technique to estimate downstream passage rates at the sluiceway and turbines. The sluiceway was used by 91–99% of the adult steelhead during all sampling periods; the remaining 1–9% passed through the turbines. This implies that adult steelhead preferred the sluiceway for downstream passage at the dam. Our results indicate that keeping the sluiceway open between 1 December and 31 March may provide an optimal, nonturbine surface route for downstream passage of overwintering or postspawned adult steelhead at The Dalles Dam. Similar operations are relevant at hydroelectric dams with surface-flow outlets, such as sluiceways, for safe downstream passage of fish species of management concern.

AB - Abstract: The real impact of sea level rise (SLR) on coastal and ocean engineering infrastructures is anticipated to be significant. The associated huge costs of coastal flooding and lasting socio-economic crisis would require planners, decision-makers and engineers to use effectively all available knowledge and data to optimize flood defense protection systems. In this paper, we introduce a Bayesian approach that integrates knowledge from previous performance history of structures (data, models and analysis) with more recent information from the simulations performed using the latest data, methods and modeling technology. These two sets of knowledge and information on past and present status of system contain various uncertainties and errors introduced by different input sources and analysis methods. We employ the concept of global uncertainty to quantify the total uncertainty affecting the design, functionality and maintenance of coastal flood defense systems in order to reduce damages resulting from the SLR and other extreme water level changes (e.g., storm surges by hurricanes, increased precipitation and ice melting). Our objective in this paper is to show coastal engineers how to use the prior knowledge with the most current information to improve the safety of flood defense systems. We demonstrate the proposed method in an example for the failure analysis of the 17th Street Flood Wall in New Orleans, where we estimate uncertainties that affected the design of the I-wall. We provide a methodology that integrates the contribution of SLR with all other available prior information to determine uncertainty levels for failure analysis of the flood defenses. Various uncertainties are present in engineering practice, explicit or implicit, and quantification of these is essential to safety and efficacy of coastal flood protection systems.

AB - There continues to be a need for developing efficient and environmentally friendly treatments for Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax. One emerging approach for inactivation of vegetative B. anthracis is the use of bacteriophage endolysins or lytic enzymes encoded by bacterial genomes (autolysins) with highly evolved specificity toward bacterium-specific peptidogly- can cell walls. In this work, we performed in silico analysis of the genome of Bacillus anthracis strain Ames, using a consensus binding domain amino acid sequence as a probe, and identified a novel lytic enzyme that we termed AmiBA2446. This enzyme exists as a homodimer, as determined by size exclusion studies. It possesses N-acetylmurainoyl-L-alanine amidase activity, as determined from liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of muropeptides released due to the enzymatic digestion of peptidoglycan. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that AmiBA2446 was an autolysin of bacterial origin. We characterized the effects of enzyme concentration and phase of bacterial growth on bactericidal activity and observed close to a 5-log reduction in the viability of cells of Bacillus cereus 4342, a surrogate for B. anthracis. We further tested the bactericidal activity of AmiBA2446 against various Bacillus species and demonstrated significant activity against B. anthracis and B. cereus strains. We also demonstrated activity against B. anthracis spores after pretreatment with germinants. AmiBA2446 enzyme was also stable in solution, retaining its activity after 4 months of storage at room temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The article discusses Operation TITANIC, a deception operation conducted as part of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France on June 6th, 1944. According to the author, the operation was crucial to the success of airborne landings in Normandy because it delayed German officials from committing reserve troops to the Cotentin Peninsula. Details on operation's psychological effects and its use of mannequin paratroopers outfitted with gun simulators are presented.

AB - Two algorithms are described for assessing systematic errors in acoustic travel-time tomography of the atmosphere, the goal of which is to reconstruct the temperature and wind velocity fields given the transducers' locations and the measured travel times of sound propagating between each speaker-microphone pair. The first algorithm aims at assessing the errors simultaneously with the mean field reconstruction. The second algorithm uses the results of the first algorithm to identify the ray paths corrupted by the systematic errors and then estimates these errors more accurately. Numerical simulations show that the first algorithm can improve the reconstruction when relatively small systematic errors are present in all paths. The second algorithm significantly improves the reconstruction when systematic errors are present in a few, but not all, ray paths. The developed algorithms were applied to experimental data obtained at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Dry needling (DN) is an increasingly popular intervention used by clinicians as a treatment of regional neuromusculoskeletal pain. DN is an invasive procedure that involves insertion of a thin monofilament needle directly into a muscle trigger point (MTP) with the intent of stimulating a local twitch response. Current evidence is somewhat limited, but recent literature supports the use of this intervention in specific neuromusculoskeletal conditions. The purpose of this case report is to present the outcomes of DN as a primary treatment intervention in an adolescent subject with subacute posterior knee pain. CASE DESCRIPTION: The subject was a 16-year-old female competitive ballet dancer referred to physical therapy with a two month history of right posterior knee pain. Palpation identified MTPs which reproduced the patient's primary symptoms. In addition to an exercise program promoting lower extremity flexibility and hip stability, the subject was treated with DN to the right gastrocnemius, soleus, and popliteus muscles. OUTCOMES: The subject reported being pain free on the Numerical Pain Scale and a +7 improvement in perceived change in recovery on the Global Rating of Change at final follow-up. Physical examination demonstrated no observed impairments or functional limitations, including normal mobility, full strength, and unrestricted execution of dance maneuvers. DISCUSSION: The patient was able to return to high level dance training and competition without physical limitations and resumed pre-injury dynamic movement activities including dancing, running, jumping, and pivoting without pain. DN can be an effective and efficient intervention to assist patients in decreasing pain and returning to high intensity physical activity. Additional research is needed to determine if DN is effective for other body regions and has long-term positive outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - This article comments on the findings of the report released by Murray Latimer and colleagues on guaranteed wages in the U.S. in 1947. The report, which proposes the extension of the wage plan, does not consider guaranteed wages as a solution to unemployment. The report also recommends that a maximum work week be established through collective bargaining. Included in the discussion was the relationship of guaranteed wages to unemployment compensation. In concluding this aspect of the report, it was said that the adoption of wage plans would be ineffective in case of the adoption of supplementation.

AB - Previous research on route directions largely considers the case when a knowledgeable route-giver conveys accurate information. In the real world, however, route information is sometimes inaccurate, and directions can lead navigators astray. We explored how participants respond to route directions containing ambiguities between landmarks and turn directions, forcing reliance on one or the other. In three experiments, participants read route directions (e.g.,To get to the metro station, take a right at the pharmacy) and then selected from destinations on a map. Critically, in half of the trials the landmark (pharmacy) and turn (right) directions were conflicting, such that the participant had to make a decision under conditions of uncertainty; under these conditions, we measured whether participants preferentially relied upon landmark- versus direction-based strategies. Across the three experiments, participants were either provided no information regarding the source of directions (Experiment 1), or told that the source of directions was a GPS device (Experiment 2), or a human (Experiment 3). Without information regarding the source of directions, participants generally relied on landmarks or turn information under conditions of ambiguity; in contrast, with a GPS source participants relied primarily on turn information, and with a human source on landmark information. Results were robust across gender and individual differences in spatial preference. We discuss these results within the context of spatial decision-making theory and consider implications for the design and development of landmark-inclusive navigation systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The regression framework is often the method of choice used by psychologists for predicting organizationally relevant outcomes from test scores. However, alternatives to regression exist, and these techniques may provide better prediction of outcomes and a more effective means of classifying examinees for selection and placement. This research describes two of these alternatives-decision tree methodology and optimal appropriateness measurement (OAM)-and how they were used to optimize the prediction of attrition among a sample of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 22,537) using a temperament inventory called the Assessment of Individual Motivation (AIM). Results demonstrated that the OAM approach provided better differentiation between 'stayers' and 'leavers' after 12 months than either the traditional logistic regression or the decision tree methods.

AB - Soldiers on today's battlefield find themselves monitoring a host of displays in both vehicles and command centers, with personal-mounted displays looming in the near future. Such display proliferation makes the task of managing limited visual attention while searching for information extremely demanding and the potential for critical information loss due to visual demand overload. Cueing has traditionally provided a performance advantage in search tasks, with the current experiment exploring whether and how a specific tactile display format could guide visual attention. In particular, the use of the tactile cues decreased search response time by more than 30%. This was not a trade of speed for accuracy because the frequency of missed signals themselves was also reduced by approximately 70%, and false positives were suppressed by the addition of the tactile cue by over 50%. These findings represent useful foundational outcomes against which to compare other forms of sensory cueing.

AB - The current study compared expert-observer ratings of situation awareness (SA) with subjective self-ratings of SA in Norwegian military academy cadets during a summer combat survival course. The cadets (N = 30) completed an 8-day combat survival course characterized by sleep and food deprivation, continuous operations, and altered circadian entrainment cues. Results indicated that self-ratings of SA did not correlate consistently with expert-observer SA ratings, and self-ratings were consistently higher than expert-observer ratings. The results are congruent with expected effects of these extreme conditions on cognition and self-awareness, demonstrate a pronounced self-enhancement bias and suggest that subjective measures of SA are not likely to provide valid estimates of SA under extreme conditions.

AB - Although empowerment often makes a team more effective, managers do not use this tool extensively. One explanation for this is that managers fear that individuals will draw negative conclusions about their leadership abilities if they use an inappropriate degree of decision-making empowerment (DME). The current research explored this hypothesis, using scenarios to manipulate DME, organizational setting, manager gender, and task outcome. Officer cadets (N = 173) judged appropriateness of the manager's use of empowerment; degree of leadership shown; and willingness to work for the manager. Cadets saw high DME as significantly more appropriate than low, resulting in significantly higher leadership attributions and a greater willingness to work for the manager. Findings held regardless of context or gender. Task outcome also affected attributions.

AB - Unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming prevalent in tactical networks as they are proving to be an extremely flexible platform for a variety of applications. Increasingly, UAVs need to cooperate with each other in order to perform complex tasks such as target monitoring and prosecution, information gathering and processing, and delivery between disconnected portions of the network. However, UAV cooperation in tactical scenarios represents a major challenge from both the coordination and communication perspectives. In fact, cooperating UAVs must achieve a high degree of coordination in order to accomplish complex tasks in a dynamic and uncertain environment. In turn, as UAVs interact with other entities, the effective coordination of multiple-UAV operations requires specific support in terms of efficient communication protocols and mechanisms exploiting UAVs as mobile assets that facilitate and hasten critical information flows. This article presents a series of considerations and lessons learned that we have collected in our experience with multiple- UAV coordination and communications in tactical edge networks, and discusses some of the main components of a middleware we specifically designed to support multiple-UAV operations.

AB - We examine the structure of soldier's psychological skills and assess the relationship between psychological skills profiles and physical performance with data from 427 soldiers from a Stryker Brigade. Exploratory factor analyses results provided empirical support for a three-factor structure that included foundation skills, psychosomatic skills, and cognitive skills. Cluster analysis revealed three emergent psychological skills profile groups: (a) strong skills, (b) weak skills, and (c) fearful focus clusters. Soldiers in the strong psychological skill profile group performed better than their peers in the other profile groups on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) performance measure. We discuss the implications of our findings for theory, research, and practice.

AB - The U.S. Army has focused on developing leader competencies in order to promote adaptability for asymmetric warfare. Expanding leader adaptive capacity, however, requires integrating competencies with deeper knowledge structures and leader identity. We conduct a three-stage exploratory study using semistructured interviews and three separate samples of experienced combat leaders to assess the organization of tactical leader functional roles. We identify the breadth of roles, tasks, skills, and attributes representative of expert tactical military leaders. We hope to take a first step in circumscribing the requisite cognitive and behavioral complexity required of tactical leaders and thereby provide a referent structure for future research on what constitutes requisite complexity for tactical military leaders.

AB - The present study extended the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model (Siegrist, 1996b), first by differentiating between separate reward components, second by including intrinsic reward, and third by additionally predicting a non-health outcome (i.e., turnover intention) in a military context. Regression analyses of 789 reservists found financial and esteem reward to moderate the impact of extrinsic effort on depressive symptoms, whereas only financial reward moderated the effort turnover intentions relationship. Results supported the usefulness of the extended ERI model in the military context. Relevant areas for future research on the military effort-reward perspective are discussed.

AB - This study projects prosthetic- and assistive-device costs for veterans with limb loss from Vietnam and injured servicemembers returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) to inform the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for these veterans' future care. The 2005 Medicare prosthetic device component prices were applied to current prosthetic and assistive-device use obtained from a national survey of 581 veterans and servicemembers with major traumatic amputations. Projections were made for 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and lifetime costs based on eight Markov models. Average 5-year projected costs for prosthetic and assistive-device replacement for the Vietnam group are lower than for the OIF/OEF cohort due in part to use of fewer and less technologically advanced prosthetic devices and higher frequency of prosthetic abandonment. By limb-loss level, for the Vietnam group and OIF/OEF cohort, 5-year projected unilateral upper limb average costs are $31,129 and $117,440, unilateral lower limb costs are $82,251 and $228,665, and multiple limb costs are $130,890 and $453,696, respectively. These figures provide the VA with a funding estimate for technologically advanced prosthetic and assistive devices within the framework of ongoing rehabilitation for veterans with traumatic limb loss from the Vietnam and OIF/OEF conflicts.

AB - Rehabilitation goals following major combat-associated limb loss in World War II and the Vietnam war focused on treatment of the injury and a return to civilian life. The goal for Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) servicemembers is to restore function to the greatest possible degree and, if they desire, return them to Active Duty, by providing them with extensive rehabilitation services and a variety of prosthetic devices. Our study determines the usefulness of these diverse types of prosthetic devices for restoring functional capability and documents prosthesis use and satisfaction. We compare servicemembers and veterans with major combat-associated unilateral lower-limb loss: 178 from the Vietnam war and 172 from OIF/OEF conflicts. Of survey participants with unilateral lower-limb loss, 84% of the Vietnam group and 94% of the OIF/OEF group currently use at least one prosthetic device. Reasons for rejection varied by type of device, but common reasons were pain, prosthesis too heavy, and poor fit. Abandonment is infrequent (11% Vietnam group, 4% OIF/OEF group). Future efforts should aim to improve prosthetic-device design, decrease pain, and improve quality of life for these veterans and servicemembers.

AB - Prosthetic use and satisfaction in wounded servicemembers and veterans with unilateral upper-limb loss has not been thoroughly explored. Through a national survey, we enrolled 47 participants from the Vietnam conflict and 50 from Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) with combat-associated major unilateral upper-limb loss. Upper-limb prosthetic devices were used by 70% of the Vietnam group and 76% of the OIF/OEF group. Mechanical/body-powered upper-limb devices were favored by the Vietnam group, while a combination of myoelectric/hybrid and mechanical/ body-powered devices were favored by the OIF/OEF group. Upper-limb devices were completely abandoned in 30% of the Vietnam and 22% of the OIF/OEF groups. Abandonment was more frequent for transhumeral and more proximal levels (42% of Vietnam and 40% of OIF/OEF) than more distal limb-loss levels. Upper-limb prostheses were rejected because of dissatisfaction with the device by significantly fewer (23%) members of the Vietnam group than the OIF/OEF group (45%) (p < 0.001). Most common reasons for rejection included pain, poor comfort, and lack of functionality. A significant paradigm shift has been noted in the OIF/OEF group, who use a greater number and diversity of upper-limb prostheses than the Vietnam group.

N2 - Background: Activity-related patient-reported outcome measures are an important component of assessment after knee ligament injury in young and physically active patients; however, normative data for most activity scales are limited.Objective: To present reference values by sex for the Marx Activity Rating Scale (MARS) within a young and physically active population while accounting for knee ligament injury history and sex.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Level Of Evidence: Level 2.Methods: All incoming freshman entering a US Service Academy in June of 2011 were recruited to participate in this study. MARS was administered to 1169 incoming freshmen (203 women) who consented to participate within the first week of matriculation. All subjects were deemed healthy and medically fit for military service on admission. Subjects also completed a baseline questionnaire that asked for basic demographic information and injury history. We calculated means with standard deviations, medians with interquartile ranges, and percentiles for ordinal and continuous variables, and frequencies and proportions for dichotomous variables. We also compared median scores by sex and history of knee ligament injury using the Kruskal-Wallis test. MARS was the primary outcome of interest.Results: The median MARS score was significantly higher for men when compared with women (χ(2) = 13.22, df = 1, P < 0.001) with no prior history of knee ligament injury. In contrast, there was no significant difference in median MARS scores between men and women (χ(2) = 0.47, df = 1, P = 0.493) who reported a history of injury. Overall, median MARS scores were significantly higher among those who reported a history of knee ligament injury when compared with those who did not (χ(2) = 9.06, df = 1, P = 0.003).Conclusion: Assessing activity as a patient-reported outcome after knee ligament injury is important, and reference values for these instruments need to account for the influence of prior injury and sex.

N2 - Endogenous female sex hormones influence muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), a regulator of arterial blood pressure and important factor in hypertension development. Although ≈80% of American women report using hormonal contraceptives sometime during their life, the influence of combined oral contraceptives (OCs) on MSNA and systemic hemodynamics remains equivocal. The goal of this study was to determine whether women taking OCs have altered MSNA and hemodynamics (cardiac output and total peripheral resistance) at rest during the placebo phase of OC use compared with women with natural menstrual cycles during the early follicular phase. We retrospectively analyzed data from studies in which healthy, premenopausal women (aged 18–35 years) participated. We collected MSNA values at rest and hemodynamic measurements in women taking OCs (n=53; 25±4 years) and women with natural menstrual cycles (n=74; 25±4 years). Blood pressure was higher in women taking OCs versus those with natural menstrual cycles (mean arterial pressure, 89±1 versus 85±1 mm Hg, respectively; P=0.01), although MSNA was similar in both groups (MSNA burst incidence, 16±1 versus 18±1 bursts/100 heartbeats, respectively; P=0.19). In a subset of women in which detailed hemodynamic data were available, those taking OCs (n=33) had similar cardiac output (4.9±0.2 versus 4.7±0.2 L/min, respectively; P=0.47) and total peripheral resistance (19.2±0.8 versus 20.0±0.9 U, respectively; P=0.51) as women with natural menstrual cycles (n=22). In conclusion, women taking OCs have higher resting blood pressure and similar MSNA and hemodynamics during the placebo phase of OC use when compared with naturally menstruating women in the early follicular phase.

N2 - The article cites a study which examined the effects of musclespecific exercise variation between consecutive sessions on the repeated bout effect (RBE). The study findings suggest that incline curls conferred a protective effect during subsequent preacher curls in a similar way to repeating incline curls; therefore, the RBE was not exercise specific.

N2 - Objectives: Some current neurocognitive models suggest that physical exertion selectively impairs performance of cognitive tasks demanding engagement of the prefrontal cortex. The present study tested this hypothesis by examining the effects of an acute bout of physical exertion on a prefrontal-dependent task demanding the effortful control of attention and emotion. Design: In a repeated-measures design, participants pedaled a recumbent bicycle ergometer at either a low or high work rate corresponding to percentages (25-35% or 75-85%) of maximum heart rate achieved during a peak exercise test. Method: TO challenge cognitive processes dependent on regions of the brain's prefrontal cortex, participants performed a cognitive interference task that presented either neutral or emotionally distracting images embedded within a spatial working memory task. Results: Working memory decrements on trials with embedded negative versus neutral images; importantly, this effect was exacerbated in the high versus low work rate. This exercise-induced decrement did not maintain during cool-down or rest, and was predicted by participant fitness levels. By comparison, a relatively low-level perceptuo-motor reaction time task showed faster performance during the high versus low work rate. Conclusions: Acute bouts of submaximal exercise induce transient states of reduced effortful control of attention, resulting in heightened distractability to emotional stimuli. Results are discussed with regard to theories detailing dynamic interactions between brain networks mediating physical exertion and higher-level cognitive function.

N2 - A four-year longitudinal cohort and geographic cluster study in rural Thailand was conducted to characterize the clinical spectrum of dengue virus (DENV) infection. Symptomatic DENV infections in the cohort were detected by active school absence-based surveillance that triggered cluster investigations around ill cohort children. Data from 189 cohort children with symptomatic DENV infection and 126 contact children in the clusters with DENV infection were analyzed. Of infected contacts, only 19% were asymptomatic; 81% were symptomatic, but only 65.9% reported fever. Symptom-based case definitions were unreliable for diagnosis. Symptomatic infections in contacts were milder with lower DENV RNA levels than the cohort. Infections in contacts with fever history were more likely to have detectable DENV RNA than infections without fever history. Mild infections identified by cluster investigations account for a major proportion of all DENV infections. These findings are relevant for disease burden assessments, transmission modeling, and determination of vaccine impact.

N2 - Heat acclimation (HA) reportedly conveys conservation in sweat micromineral concentrations when sampled from arm sweat, but time course is unknown. The observation that comprehensive cleaning of the skin surface negates sweat micromineral reductions during prolonged sweating raises the question of whether the reported HA effect is real or artifact of surface contamination. Purpose: To measure sweat mineral concentrations serially during HA and determine if surface contamination plays a role in the reported mineral reductions. Methods: Calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), and zinc (Zn) were measured in sweat obtained from 17 male volunteers using an arm bag on Day 1, 5, and 10 of a HA protocol. To study the role of contamination, sweat was simultaneously (n=10 subjects) sampled twice daily from a cleaned site (WASH) and unclean site (NO WASH) on the scapular surface. Results: Sweat Ca, Cu, and Mg from Arm Bag trended progressively downward from Day 1 to Day 10 of HA (p=.10-0.25). Micromineral concentrations from the WASH site did not change between Day 1, 5, or 10 (Ca=0.30±0.12 mmol/L, Cu 0.41±0.53 µmol/L; Zn 1.11±0.80 µmol/L). Surface contamination can confound sweat mineral estimates, as sweat Ca and Cu from NO WASH site were initially higher than WASH (p<.05) but became similar to WASH when sampled serially. Conclusion: Heat acclimation does not confer reductions in sweat Ca, Cu, Mg, or Zn. When the skin surface is not cleaned, mineral residue inflates initial sweat mineral concentrations. Earlier reports of micromineral reductions during HA may have been confounded by interday cleaning variability.

N2 - Background: While posterior glenohumeral instability is becoming increasingly common among young athletes, little is known of the risk factors for injury. Purpose: To determine the modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors for posterior shoulder instability in a high-risk cohort. Study Design: Case-control study (prognosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: A prospective cohort study in which 714 young athletes were followed from June 2006 through May 2010 was conducted. Baseline testing included a subjective history of instability, instability testing by a sports medicine fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon, range of motion, strength measurement with a handheld dynamometer, and bilateral noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder. A musculoskeletal radiologist measured glenoid version, height, depth, rotator interval (RI) height, RI width, RI area, and RI index. Participants were followed to document all acute posterior shoulder instability events during the 4-year follow-up period. The time to the posterior shoulder instability event during the follow-up period was the primary outcome of interest. Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: Complete data on 714 participants were obtained. During the 4-year surveillance period, 46 shoulders sustained documented glenohumeral instability events, of which only 7 were posterior in direction. The baseline factors that were associated with subsequent posterior instability during follow-up were increased glenoid retroversion (P<.0001), increased external rotation strength in adduction (P=.029) and at 45 of abduction (P=.015), and increased internal rotation strength in adduction (P=.038). Conclusion: This is the largest known prospective study to follow healthy participants in the development of posterior shoulder instability. Posterior instability represents 10% of all instability events. The most significant risk factor was increased glenoid retroversion. While increased internal/external strength was also associated with subsequent instability, it is unclear whether these strength differences are causative or reactive to the difference in glenoid anatomy. This work confirms that increased glenoid retroversion is a significant prospective risk factor for posterior instability.

N2 - Burkholderia mallei is an infectious intracellular pathogen whose virulence and resistance to antibiotics makes it a potential bioterrorism agent. Given its genetic origin as a commensal soil organism, it is equipped with an extensive and varied set of adapted mechanisms to cope with and modulate host-cell environments. One essential virulence mechanism constitutes the specialized secretion systems that are designed to penetrate host-cell membranes and insert pathogen proteins directly into the host cell's cytosol. However, the secretion systems' proteins and, in particular, their host targets are largely uncharacterized. Here, we used a combined in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approach to identify B. mallei proteins required for pathogenicity. We used bioinformatics tools, including orthology detection and ab initio predictions of secretion system proteins, as well as published experimental Burkholderia data to initially select a small number of proteins as putative virulence factors. We then used yeast two-hybrid assays against normalized whole human and whole murine proteome libraries to detect and identify interactions among each of these bacterial proteins and host proteins. Analysis of such interactions provided both verification of known virulence factors and identification of three new putative virulence proteins. We successfully created insertion mutants for each of these three proteins using the virulent B. mallei ATCC 23344 strain. We exposed BALB/c mice to mutant strains and the wild-type strain in an aerosol challenge model using lethal B. mallei doses. In each set of experiments, mice exposed to mutant strains survived for the 21-day duration of the experiment, whereas mice exposed to the wild-type strain rapidly died. Given their in vivo role in pathogenicity, and based on the yeast two-hybrid interaction data, these results point to the importance of these pathogen proteins in modulating host ubiquitination pathways, phagosomal escape, and actin-cytoskeleton rearrangement processes.

N2 - Protein supplements (PSs) are, after multivitamins, the most frequently consumed dietary supplement by U.S. military personnel. Warfighters believe that PSs will improve health, promote muscle strength, and enhance physical performance. The estimated prevalence of regular PS use by military personnel is nearly 20% or more in active-duty personnel, which is comparable to collegiate athletes and recreationally active adults, but higher than that for average U.S. civilians. Although the acute metabolic effects of PS ingestion are well described, little is known regarding the benefits of PS use by warfighters in response to the metabolic demands of military operations. When dietary protein intake approaches 1.5 g . kg-1 . d-1, and energy intake matches energy expenditure, the use of PSs by most physically active military personnel may not be necessary. However, dismounted infantry often perform operations consisting of long periods of strenuous physical activity coupled with inadequate dietary energy and protein intake. In these situations, the use of PSs may have efficacy for preserving fat-free mass. This article reviews the available literature regarding the prevalence of PS use among military personnel. Furthermore, it highlights the unique metabolic stressors affecting U.S. military personnel and discusses potential conditions during which protein supplementation might be beneficial.

N2 - Curcumin, a component of turmeric spice that imparts flavor and color to curry, is thought to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in biological tissues. However, while such efficacies have been described in the context of carcinogenesis, the impact of curcumin on normal cell cycle regulation is poorly understood. Here, we provide evidence of curcumin toxicity in proliferating bovine aortic endothelial cells, at concentrations relevant to the diet and below those previously reported in cancer models. Upon confirming curcumin's ability to upregulate hemeoxygenase-1 in a dose-dependent fashion, we found the minimally efficacious curcumin concentration to also inhibit endothelial cell DNA synthesis. Moreover, curcumin concentrations below the minimum 2 µM threshold required to induce hemeoxygenase-1 bound tubulin protein in vitro and triggered hallmark evidence of mitotic catastrophe in vivo. Concentrations as low as 0.1 µM curcumin led to disproportionate DNA segregation, karyorrhexis, and micronucleation in proliferating endothelial cells. While suggesting a mechanism by which physiological curcumin concentrations inhibit cell cycle progression, these findings describe heretofore unappreciated curcumin toxicity with potential implications for endothelial growth, development, and tissue healing.

N2 - The purpose of this work was to determine the effects of varying levels of dietary protein on body composition and muscle protein synthesis during energy deficit (ED). A randomized controlled trial of 39 adults assigned the subjects diets providing protein at 0.8 (recommended dietary allowance; RDA), 1.6 (2×-RDA), and 2.4 (3×-RDA) g kg-1 d-1 for 31 d. A 10-d weight-maintenance (WM) period was followed by a 21 d, 40% ED. Body composition and postabsorptive and postprandial muscle protein synthesis were assessed during WM (d 9-10) and ED (d 30-31). Volunteers lost (P<0.05) 3.2±0.2 kg body weight during ED regardless of dietary protein. The proportion of weight loss due to reductions in fat-free mass was lower (P<0.05) and the loss of fat mass was higher (P<0.05) in those receiving 2×-RDA and 3×-RDA compared to RDA. The anabolic muscle response to a protein-rich meal during ED was not different (P>0.05) from WM for 2×-RDA and 3×-RDA, but was lower during ED than WM for those consuming RDA levels of protein (energy × protein interaction, P<0.05). To assess muscle protein metabolic responses to varied protein intakes during ED, RDA served as the study control. In summary, we determined that consuming dietary protein at levels exceeding the RDA may protect fat-free mass during short-term weight loss.

N2 - Venezuelan (VEEV), eastern, and western equine encephalitis viruses, members of the genus Alphavirus, are causative agents of debilitative and sometimes fatal encephalitis. Although human cases are rare, these viruses pose a threat to military personnel, and to public health, due to their potential use as bioweapons. Currently, there are no licensed therapeutics for treating alphavirus infections. To address this need, small-molecules with potential anti-alphavirus activity, provided by collaborators, are tested routinely in live alphavirus assays utilizing time-consuming virus yield-reduction assays. To expedite the screening/hit-confirmation process, a cell-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed and validated for the measurement of VEEV infection. A signal-to-background ratio of >900, and a z-factor of >0.8 indicated the robustness of this assay. For validation, the cell-based ELISA was compared directly to results from virus yield reduction assays in a single dose screen of 21 compounds. Using stringent criteria for anti-VEEV activity there was 90% agreement between the two assays (compounds displaying either antiviral activity, or no effect, in both assays). A concurrent compound-induced cell toxicity assay effectively filtered out false-positive hits. The cell-based ELISA also reproduced successfully compound dose-response virus inhibition data observed using the virus yield reduction assay. With available antibodies, this assay can be adapted readily to other viruses of interest to the biodefense community. Additionally, it is cost-effective, rapid, and amenable to automation and scale-up. Therefore, this assay could expedite greatly screening efforts and the identification of effective anti-alphavirus inhibitors.

N2 - Iron is a nutritionally essential trace element that functions through incorporation into proteins and enzymes, many of which contribute to physical and neuropsychological performance. Poor iron status, including iron deficiency (ID; diminished iron stores) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA; poor iron stores and diminished hemoglobin), affects billions of people worldwide. This review focuses on physical and neuropsychological outcomes associated with ID and IDA in premenopausal women, as the prevalence of ID and IDA is often greater in premenopausal women than other population demographics. Recent studies addressing the physiological effects of poor iron status on physical performance, including work productivity, voluntary activity, and athletic performance, are addressed. Similarly, the effects of iron status on neurological performance, including cognition, affect, and behavior, are summarized. Nutritional countermeasures for the prevention of poor iron status and the restoration of decrements in performance outcomes are described.

N2 - Human mortality exhibits a strong seasonal pattern with deaths in winter far exceeding those in the summer. While the pattern itself is clear, there have been very few studies examining whether the magnitude or timing of seasonal mortality varies considerably across space. Thus, the goal of this study is to conduct a comprehensive geographic analysis of seasonal mortality across the United States and to uncover systematic regional differences in such mortality. Unique seasonal mortality curves were created for 28 metropolitan statistical areas across the United States, and the amplitude and timing of mortality peaks were determined. The findings here indicate that the seasonality of mortality exhibits strong spatial variation with the largest seasonal mortality amplitudes found in the southwestern United States and the smallest in the North, along with South Florida. In addition, there were strong intra-regional similarities that exist among the examined cities, implying that environmental factors are more important than social factors in determining seasonal mortality response. This work begins to fill a large gap within the scientific literature concerning the geographic variation and underlying causes of seasonal mortality across the United States.

N2 - In the future, we may be faced with the need to provide treatment for an emergent biological threat against which existing vaccines and drugs have limited efficacy or availability. To prepare for this eventuality, our objective was to use a metabolic network-based approach to rapidly identify potential drug targets and prospectively screen and validate novel small-molecule antimicrobials. Our target organism was the fully virulent Francisella tularensis subspecies tularensis Schu S4 strain, a highly infectious intracellular pathogen that is the causative agent of tularemia and is classified as a category A biological agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We proceeded with a staggered computational and experimental workflow that used a strain-specific metabolic network model, homology modeling and X-ray crystallography of protein targets, and ligand- and structure-based drug design. Selected compounds were subsequently filtered based on physiological-based pharmacokinetic modeling, and we selected a final set of 40 compounds for experimental validation of antimicrobial activity. We began screening these compounds in whole bacterial cell-based assays in biosafety level 3 facilities in the 20th week of the study and completed the screens within 12 weeks. Six compounds showed significant growth inhibition of F. tularensis, and we determined their respective minimum inhibitory concentrations and mammalian cell cytotoxicities. The most promising compound had a low molecular weight, was non-toxic, and abolished bacterial growth at 13 µM, with putative activity against pantetheine-phosphate adenylyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A, encoded by gene coaD. The novel antimicrobial compounds identified in this study serve as starting points for lead optimization, animal testing, and drug development against tularemia. Our integrated in silico/in vitro approach had an overall 15% success rate in terms of active versus tested compounds over an elapsed time period of 32 weeks, from pathogen strain identification to selection and validation of novel antimicrobial compounds.

N2 - We describe virus variations from patients with influenza-like illness before and after the appearance of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 in Kenya during January 2008-July 2011. A total of 11,592 nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from consenting patients. Seasonal influenza B, A/H1N1, A/H3N2, A/H5N1, and influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Of patients enrolled, 2073 (17.9%) had influenza. A total of 1,524 (73.4%) of 2,073 samples were positive for influenza A virus and 549 (26.6%) were positive for influenza B virus. Influenza B virus predominated in 2008 and seasonal A(H1N1) virus predominated in the first half of 2009. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus predominated in the second half of 2009. Influenza A/H3N2 virus predominated in 2010, and co-circulation of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus and influenza B virus predominated the first half of 2011. The reduction and displacement of seasonal A(H1N1) virus was the most obvious effect of the arrival of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. The decision of the World Health Organization to replace seasonal A(H1N1) virus with the pandemic virus strain for the southern hemisphere vaccine was appropriate for Kenya.

N2 - Food waste diversion to enhance biogas production for energy generation in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is an emerging trend in the United States. Using an interested WWTP in Fort Collins, Colorado a study was completed to determine the efficacy and viability of implementing a food waste diversion program utilizing food waste as a feedstock in their existing anaerobic digesters to enhance biogas production. The results of the study concluded that a food waste diversion program would result in a loss of approximately $2.5 million over a 20 year period making the program unfeasible currently. However, the use of excess biogas produced in the plant's anaerobic digesters from the processing of the municipal solid waste stream (MSW) to fuel a reciprocating engine energy generation technology would result in an estimated return on investment of $1.63 million, and an estimated return on investment of $1.25 million for a microturbine energy generation technology over the same 20 year time period. Changes to multiple variables in the economic analysis such as higher energy costs and higher landfill tipping fees could result in a more positive outlook for a future food waste diversion program in Northern Colorado. This study can be used by other WWTPs in the US and other countries as a model to determine the initial economic feasibility of a food waste diversion program in their area. WWTPs in locations with greater costs associated with energy and tipping fees than those reported in this study may find a food waste diversion program economically viable and beneficial.

N2 - Background: Low vitamin D status increases the risk of stress fractures. As ultraviolet (UV) light is required for vitamin D synthesis, low UV light availability is thought to increase the risk of vitamin D insufficiency and poor bone health. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if individuals with low UV intensity at their home of record (HOR) or those with darker complexions are at increased risk of developing stress fractures and lower limb fractures during U.S. Army Basic Combat Training (BCT). Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center data repository. All Basic trainees were identified from January 1997 to January 2007. Cases were recruits diagnosed with stress fractures and lower limb fractures during BCT. The recruit's home of record (HOR) was identified from the Defense Manpower Data Center database. The average annual UV intensity at the recruits' HOR was determined using a U.S National Weather Service database and recruits were stratified into low (≤3.9); moderate (4.0-5.4), and high (≥5.5) UV index regions. Race was determined from self-reports. Results: The dataset had 421,461 men and 90,141women. Compared to men, women had greater risk of developing stress fractures (odds ratio (OR)=4.5, 95% confidence interval (95%CI)=4.4-4.7, p<0.01). Contrary to the hypothesized effect, male and female recruits from low UV index areas had a slightly lower risk of stress fractures (male OR (low UV/high UV)=0.92, 95%CI=0.87-0.97; females OR=0.89, 95%CI=0.84-0.95, p<0.01) and were at similar risk for lower limb fractures (male OR=0.98, 95%CI=0.89-1.07; female OR=0.93, 95%CI=0.80-1.09) than recruits from high UV index areas. Blacks had lower risk of stress and lower limb fractures than non-blacks, and there was no indication that Blacks from low UV areas were at increased risk for bone injuries. Conclusions: The UV index at home of record is not associated with stress or lower limb fractures in BCT. These data suggest that UV intensity is not a risk factor for poor bone health in younger American adults.

N2 - Two commonly used disinfectants, a quaternary ammonium salt and povidone-iodine, were tested for effectiveness against unembryonated Ascaris suum eggs. The quaternary ammonium salt (alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride) had no effect on the Ascaris eggs (10 minutes and 22°C) when compared with the controls in water with egg viabilities of 88.8%±3.3% and 86.9%±6.2%, respectively. An additional quaternary ammonium salt, 2.5% benzethonium chloride, also had no effect. Phenol (5%) and cresol (3%) completely inactivated the eggs. Povidone-iodine at 100%, 50%, 10%, and 1% had no effect on the eggs at exposures of 5, 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes (22°C) compared with the water controls.

N2 - This report summarizes the results of a universal screening programme for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) conducted among all US soldiers who were in-processing to assignments in Korea during calendar year 2009. Males were initially screened upon request; however, the program was expanded in November 2008 to include screening for male soldiers. The programme was discontinued on 1 January 2010. During November 2007 to January 2010, a total of 17 735 soldiers were screened for CT infections; 17 546 had evaluable test results and 742 (4.2%) tested positive. The majority (71.0%) of testing was performed in 2009. Relative to their respective counterparts, CT infection prevalences were higher among women (5.8%), soldiers under 20 years of age (5.7%), black, non-Hispanic soldiers (7.0%), and enlisted members (4.2%). Prevalences among women less than 20 years of age and women 20-24 years old were 12.6% and 7.2%, respectively; prevalences among men in the comparable age groups were 3.9% and 4.7%.

N2 - Objective: Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a key regulator of metabolism during altered energy states. The IGF-I system components respond to prolonged caloric restriction but it is not clear if this system responds similarly to acute caloric restriction. The purpose of this study was to characterize the IGF-I system response to acute caloric restriction with a secondary purpose of determining if two isocaloric diets with different ratios of carbohydrate to fat alter the IGF-I system under conditions of caloric balance. Materials/Methods: A double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover design was used in which 27 subjects underwent three, 48-h experimental treatments: (1) caloric restriction (2) carbohydrate and (3) carbohydrate/fat. Blood was sampled periodically (6 time points total) for IGF-I (total and free), IGFBPs1-4, insulin and glucose. ANOVAs were used with significance set at P<0.05. Results: Total IGF-I decreased 7% during CR (P=0.051) and remained stable during CHO and CHO/F. Free IGF-I decreased 43% during CR (P<0.05) and remained stable during CHO and CHO/F. IGFBP-1 increased by 445% during CR (P<0.05) compared to CHO and CHO/F with no changes for IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-4. There was no change in glucose or insulin during CR over the course of the study. Insulin and glucose increased (P<0.05) after a meal in both the CHO and CHO/F groups with no difference between these two groups. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that free IGF-I decreases and IGFBP-1 increases during caloric restriction, but they are not altered with diets differing in carbohydrate and fat content. Changes in free IGF-I and IGFBP-1 are sensitive to caloric restriction, and their measurement may be valuable in monitoring the physiological response to refeeding in those consuming suboptimal calories.

AB - The article presents HAM a chimpanzee who was trained to participate in flight simulations and became the first chimpanzee to be launched into space. U.S. Army Colonel (Ret) Joseph V. Brady, a behavioral neuroscientist with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research trained HAM to operate a systems of lights and levers and to flip at least one lever every 20 seconds to avoid electric shock to his foot. HAM retired from research in 163 and died of chronic heart and liver disease at age 26.

AB - The article offers opinions about the success of security forces in Afghanistan in cooperation with U.S. and coalition forces in the Afghan war. The successes of coalition and Afghan security forces in combating insurgents, gaining more territory, and waging a campaign against the Taliban terrorist group are discussed. The increased control of forces by the Afghan army and police is discussed. It is suggested that the Afghan army is prepared for the U.S. forces to leave the conflict but that challenges still remain such as partnerships with the government, cooperation from Pakistan in fighting extremists, and U.S. diplomatic relations with Afghanistan.

AB - While experts understand that Al Qaeda's attack patterns and operational qualities are changing, they struggle to identify and generate consensus on Al Qaeda's strategic center of gravity. By defining different levels of Al Qaeda, core, periphery, and movement, this article engages current debates about the threat by focusing on the operational differences across these three levels. Contrary to conventional wisdom about operational efficiency, the social movement has a higher success rate but the core imposes greater costs as measured by casualties. The cells or networks actually executing the attacks also display substantive differences. The social movement networks organize in smaller cells than either affiliated groups or the core; however, they display greater levels of connectedness. The affiliated and organization cells display fewer connections, suggestive of more disciplined operational procedure despite lower success rates. These patterns reflect fundamental differences across characterizations of Al Qaeda, and have significant implications for counterterrorism efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The exact distribution of the nth customer's sojourn time in an M/M/s queue with k customers initially present is derived. Algorithms for computing the covariance between sojourn times for an M/M/1 queue with k customers present at time 0 are also developed. Maple computer code is developed for practical application of transient queue analysis for many system measures of performance without regard to traffic intensity (i.e., the system may be unstable with traffic intensity greater than 1).

AB - This work examines the influence of microcracking on a material's tendency to shear localize under compressive loading. A two-dimensional (2D) finite-element framework with explicit crack representation using cohesive-element methodologies is employed. The influence of microcracking is examined by taking the fracture toughness of the cohesive elements as a free parameter. The simulations suggest that an optimum fracture toughness exists for promoting shear localization. This value corresponds to the limiting mode I fracture toughness, below which microscopic material defects lead to brittle compressive failure, as opposed to shear localization. While in the presence of confinement, this value is shown to be close to zero; in the absence of confinement, it is computed to be 28% of the shear band toughness for the specific case of ultrafine-grained tungsten. More generally, it is found that the ratio of mode I fracture toughness to shear band toughness provides a crude indicator for predicting whether material defects are likely to lead to brittle failure or enhanced shear localization.

AB - We examined the relative effectiveness of hardiness and grit as predictors of performance and retention among first year cadets at the USMA. Based on past research and theory, we expected that both hardiness and grit would predict unique variance in performance and retention even after controlling for past performance as measured by the Whole Candidate Score. Results of regression analyses revealed that hardiness and grit predicted unique variance in first year retention, but only hardiness predicted first year performance at USMA. These findings suggest that hardiness assessment and training may prove valuable in enhancing performance and retention within military training environments. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - This study sought to investigate what happens to trainee performance when an individual sets an unrealistically difficult performance goal early in training, which results in a large goal-performance discrepancy. Data from 185 trainees participating in a videogame-based training environment demonstrated that a single large discrepancy negatively impacts immediate subsequent training performance. Moreover, performance avoid goal orientation and self-efficacy were found to jointly moderate the impact of the discrepancy for both trainees' immediate subsequent performance and their rate of performance improvement across the training program. These findings highlight the importance of realistic goal-setting and trainee self-efficacy for optimizing videogame-based training success. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Shared leadership involves building a broader and deeper capacity for leadership that goes beyond a formally appointed leader. Several models of team leadership are reviewed, distinguishing between the leadership of teams from leadership in teams. Shared leadership is a variant of the latter in which everyone on the team is responsible for leadership and where leadership emerges through patterned interactions of team members. Overall, shared leadership appears to be a possibility for the military-and one that is needed because of the increasing complexity of missions-but efforts need to be undertaken to incorporate it into formal training and doctrine.

AB - A fundamental tension in military ethics is not just how to prevent unethical behavior, but also how to inspire supererogatory conduct 'above and beyond the call of duty.' In this article, we provide a conceptual analysis and integrative framework for understanding the dynamics of military ethics based on two contrasting but complementary moralities-moralities of obligation and aspiration; and two types of moral motivation-rule-following and identity-conferring. We then provide analysis of the exemplary leadership required to inform and inspire military members to realize the aspirations embedded in an exemplary military ethic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A key aspect of leadership effectiveness across geographical distance is communication. However, researchers are only beginning to empirically explore the communicative aspects and constitution of military units and leadership in these contexts. This article highlights communicative features and processes in studies of distributed military units, particularly in those that examine leadership. We discuss aspects of military leadership that are in particular need of a communicative lens, including the communication of command intent, sensemaking, and leading across multiple cultures. We present future research directions that will further advance our understanding of the inextricable relationship between leadership and communication in distributed contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Contemporary reviews of leadership research have called attention to the importance of studying the organizational context in which leadership unfolds. Researchers have also noted the need for increasingly sophisticated studies of leadership processes within complex and challenging environments. These calls have particular relevance for those who study leadership within the military environment. This article summarizes historical changes that have influenced the context of leadership within the military environment. It discusses the implications of these historical events for the content of future research on military leadership. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Prevalence and risk factors associated with soldiers' suicides 2001-2009 (N = 874) were examined. Army suicide rates increased from 9 per 100,000 in 2001 to 22 per 100,000 in 2009. Soldier suicides were lower than civilians from 2001 to 2007, but higher than civilians after 2007. Army suicides were disproportionately higher for men, deployment experience, and a history of a mental health diagnosis/treatment; and lower for African Americans. Many involved planning (38%), communication (21%), alcohol (19%), or drugs (8%). Many had legal problems (31%), high stress loads (90%), a history of self-injury (10%), and other contributing factors prior to entry into the Army (31%). Implications for understanding suicide among military personnel are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Stigma and organizational barriers have been identified as factors for why a small proportion of soldiers with psychological problems seek professional help. In this article, we examine the impact of negative attitudes toward treatment on treatment seeking among soldiers previously deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq (n = 2,623). We asked soldiers with psychological problems questions about stigma, organizational barriers, negative attitudes toward treatment, and whether they sought treatment for their psychological problems. We found that negative attitudes about treatment inversely predicted treatment seeking. These results provide a more comprehensive examination of reasons that soldiers do not seek needed treatment and highlight the need for policy aimed at reducing negative attitudes toward mental health treatment.

AB - Anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a common cause of ulcerative lesions and disfiguring scarring among children in Afghanistan. Most lesions occur on the face and are commonly caused by the trypanosome protozoan parasite Leishmania tropica, transmitted by the bite of an infected sandfly (Phlebotomus sergenti). This study compared the effectiveness of a single localized treatment with thermotherapy to 5 days of intralesional administration of Glucantime for the treatment of CL. Three hundred and eighty-two patients with CL were randomly assigned to the two treatment groups and followed for 6 months. The cure rate for the thermotherapy group was 82.5%, compared to 74% in the Glucantime group. The authors concluded that a single localized treatment with thermotherapy was more effective than 5 days of intralesional administration of Glucantime. Additionally, thermotherapy was more cost-effective, with fewer side effects, of shorter duration, and with better patient compliance than intralesional Glucantime. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A number of amled assaults on public officials occurred in the early 1970s, which prompted the Lightweight Soft Body Armor Program to develop modem, concealable, soft body armor. Methodology needed to be developed to (1) determine the effectiveness of the soft body armor to stop bullet penetration and (2) assess the potential injury from nonpenetrating blunt impacts to the body. Extensive research was performed under the program to develop methodologies to assess soft body armor, including behind-amlor blunt trauma (BABT) evaluation. This methodology is still used today, and it has been applied extensively beyond the original intent. However, the origin of this methodology is not well understood by many researchers in the various fields in which it is being applied because the original documentation is difficult to obtain. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the BABT to offer researchers information about its history and limitations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Military deployment poses many risks for cognitive functioning. When deployed individuals are compared to a nondeployed control group, there is some evidence that deployment may be associated with declines in cognitive functioning. The current study examined cognitive performance before and following deployment in a large sample of active duty military personnel (N = 8,002) who reported no traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cognition was assessed using the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics version 4 TBI Military (ANAM4 TBI-MIL) battery, a computer-based battery of tests measuring attention, processing speed, and general cognitive efficiency. Pre and postdeployment scores were compared using repeated measures analyses. Although statistically significant differences were observed for all tests (with 5 of 7 tests demonstrating performance improvement), effect sizes were very small for all but 1 test, indicating that performance differences had minimal clinical significance. Likewise, determination of change for individuals using reliable change indices revealed that a very small percentage (<3%) of this presumed healthy sample showed meaningful decline in cognition following deployment. Analyses indicated that despite risks for cognitive decline while in theater, deployment had minimal to no lasting effect on cognition as measured by ANAM4 TBI-Mil upon return from deployment.

AB - Iron is a micronutrient necessary tor energy metabolism and for oxygen transport and delivery. Depletion of iron stores (iron deficiency [ID]) may lead to iron deficiency anemia (IDA), which affects mood, cognitive function, and physical performance. Previous studies indicated that iron status may decline during military training. This study assessed the iron status and prevalence of ID and IDA in military personnel deployed to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan (1492 m). Within the pool of 294 participants (149 male and 145 female), 2 males (1%) and 8 females (6%) presented with ID. Although IDA was not observed in males, 3 females (2%) met the criteria for IDA. Female sex (p = 0.05) and self-reported history of anemia (p < 0.05) were associated with diminished iron status. Amenorrhea was associated with higher ferritin (p < 0.05) and hemoglobin (p < 0.05) levels. Although ID and IDA did not affect a large portion of the deployed population assessed in this study, findings suggest that risk factors including female sex, history of anemia, and regular menstruation should be considered in the assessment of iron status in military personnel.

AB - We hypothesize that an anecdotally observed increase in tourniquet breakage and decrease in efficacy may be secondary to environmental exposure during military deployment. This was a study comparing efficacy and breakage of 166 Afghanistan-exposed tourniquets to 166 unexposed tourniquets. Afghanistan exposure was defined as tourniquet carriage by field staff in the operational environment for approximately 6 months. In a controlled environment in the United States, a previously exposed tourniquet was tested on one thigh of each subject, while an unexposed tourniquet was tested on the opposite thigh. We recorded tourniquet efficacy (absence of distal pedal pulse for at least 30 seconds), breakage, and the number of turns required to stop the distal pedal pulse. A Wilcoxon sign-rank test was used to test differences between exposed and unexposed tourniquets. Tourniquets exposed to the environment broke more often (14/166 versus 0/166) and had decreased efficacy (63% versus 91%; p < 0.001). Three turns were required for most tourniquets to be efficacious. Environmental exposure of military tourniquets is associated with decreased efficacy and increased breakage. In most cases, tourniquets require three turns to stop the distal lower extremity pulse.

AB - Objective: To investigate risk factors for time-loss injuries among soldiers attending U.S. Army Ordnance School Advanced Individual Training. Methods: Injuries were obtained from an injury surveillance system. A health questionnaire provided data on age, race, rank, current self-reported injury and illness, and tobacco use. Fitness data was obtained from operations office. Results: Cumulative time-loss injury incidence was 31% for men and 54% for women. For men, higher risk of injury was associated with race, a current self-reported injury, smoking before entering the Army, lower sit-up performance, and slower 2-mile run times. For women, higher risk of injury was associated with race, a current self-reported injury, and slower 2-mile run times. Conclusion: Smoking cessation and fitness training before entry are potential strategies to reduce injuries among soldiers in the Ordnance School. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Recent news media articles have implied a direct relationship between environmental exposures such as burn pits during current deployments and the development of serious and debilitating chronic pulmonary disease. These articles suggest that the military is superficially investigating evidence that establishes a link between deployment and development of chronic lung disease. Anecdotal cases of military personnel with lung disease are detailed to suggest a systemic problem with undiagnosed and untreated pulmonary disease in deployed service members, Despite these contentions, the U.S. Army Medical Department and other agencies have been actively pursuing numerous scientific investigations into deployment-related lung disease to define the severity and prevalence of the issue. This article will review relevant research efforts by the U.S. military in the existing medical literature and address the current efforts planned by the services to systematically investigate the possibility of deployment-related pulmonary disease.

AB - Objective: The purpose of this study is to report the device lessons learned from an emergency tourniquet program and, in particular, to emphasize analysis of discarded devices recovered after clinical use. Methods: Discarded tourniquet devices were analyzed after use in emergency care of war casualties to determine wear and tear patterns, effectiveness rates, and associations among device designs. Results: The 159 devices recovered comprised seven designs. Emergency & Military Tourniquet (92%) and Combat Application Tourniquet (79%) effectiveness rates were significantly different from each other and better than other tourniquets (p < 0.002) as the most effective ambulance and field tourniquets, respectively. Designs had specific pitfalls (e.g., sand-clogged ratchets) and strengths (the pneumatic design was least painful). Every device had wear, abrasions, or deformity about the band edges or bladder. User understanding of how devices work best helped attain better results. Some desirable traits (e.g., one-handed application, use for entrapped limbs) were rarely needed. Tourniquets fit casualty limbs well. Conclusions: Correct user actions (e.g., following the instructions to remove slack before twisting) led to device effectiveness, but misuse did not. Users often assumed that optimal use required more force, but this was associated with misuse. Training should include tourniquet pearls and pitfalls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - There is great focus within the military medical community regarding the ever growing cost of medical care overall and dependent care specifically. A great deal of discussion relates to the delivery of care through a growing military-civilian partnership, where an increased amount of health care will be referred to an ever growing network of civilian providers. The U.S. military establishment now stands at an important crossroad leading into the future of dependent care. However, the special concerns, which arise from the responsibility of caring for military dependents, are not a solely recent phenomenon. Ever since the establishment of a permanent standing U.S. Army in the late 1700s, there have been families in need of medical treatment. Although changes occurred continuously, the development and evolution of policies regulating the delivery of medical care to dependants can be divided into three periods. The first is the longest and ranges from the establishment of the Army until the year 1900. The second period spans from 1900 to the post-Korean War year of 1956. The third and final period is from 1956 to 1975. Special changes and advances in each of these periods have served to shape the face of dependent care in today's Army Medical Department.

AB - Past studies indicated that overall Basic Combat Training (BCT) attrition (discharge) was associated with various risk factors. BCT has changed considerably since many of these studies were conducted. This study examined Soldiers medically attrited from BCT. Potential attrition risk factor data on recruits (n = 4,005) were collected from medical records, BCT unit records, and questionnaires. Attrition data from Fort Jackson, South Carolina, showed 203 medical discharges. Cox regression (univariate and multivariate) obtained hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for attrition risk factors. Higher attrition risk was associated with female gender. Higher attrition risk for men was associated with cigarette smoking, injury during BCT, and less exercise before BCT. Higher attrition risk for both genders was associated with failure on the initial 2-mile run test and separated or divorced marital status. Attrition risk factors found in this study were similar to those previously identified despite changes in BCT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In the U.S. Army, motor vehicle crashes (MVCs), both privately owned and military, are a leading cause of injury and death. Few studies have described the distribution and trends of MVCs among Army personnel, which may have been impacted by current military missions. This descriptive study of risk factors and select outcomes is from safety report data maintained by the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center on 11,469 active duty Army personnel involved in MVCs, 1999-2006. The majority (66%) of Soldiers in MVCs were in military vehicles within the continental United States (68%). The average age of individuals involved in MVCs was 27.7 years old. Males had a consistently higher MVC rate than females. The average cost per MVC related to property damage and injuries was $36,039 and $24,038, respectively. Results suggest a need for additional exploration of MVCs involving Army vehicles, which were the most common and among the most costly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Management of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures in the military, a largely shoulder-bearing population, is controversial. We aimed to report the military-relevant functional outcomes after plate fixation. We performed a nested cross-sectional analysis of active duty service members enrolled in an ongoing multicenter, randomized trial on clavicle plating. For this analysis, we included subjects with >6 months follow-up. Outcome measures included radiographic appearance, physical examination, a military-specific questionnaire, and validated shoulder surveys. Mean follow-up for 28 clavicle fractures was 13 months. Union rate by 12 weeks was 93% (26/28). There was one case of soft tissue irritation requiring hardware removal. At latest follow-up, 75% of patients were satisfied; 68% had mild/no pain; 79% had full range of motion; 75% could perform push-ups; and 21% have deployed. For the majority of active duty personnel, rapid healing, return to military-specific tasks, and satisfaction with outcome are possible after plate fixation of clavicle fractures. However, approximately 25% report some functional limitations at 1 year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Musculoskeletal injuries are the most common cause for disability in deployed environments. Current research is limited to body region affected by the injury. Objective: To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal diagnoses and mechanisms of injury (MOI) as well as associations to specific Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) in a deployed Brigade Combat Team (BCT). Methods: Data collected on 3,066 patient encounters by the Brigade Combat Team physical therapist over 15 months were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ;(2 tests. Results: Mechanical low back pain was the most common diagnosis (19%), whereas overuse was the most prevalent MOI (22%). The Infantry MOS was significantly associated with meniscal tears and pre-existing injuries, the Maintenance MOS with contusions, Signal and Transportation MOSs with weight lifting injuries, and the Administrative MOS with running injuries. Conclusion: Different MOSs are preferentially susceptible to different diagnoses and MOls. Therefore, different injury prevention strategies may be needed across occupations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Environmental sampling technology has improved significantly since Operations Desert Shield and Storm (Gulf War I, August 6, 1990-February 27, 1991). Deployment of U.S. Forces overseas and Joint Service operations have increased, and large numbers of troops are currently deployed for long periods of time. Concerns of adverse health effects from environmental exposures, similar to the concerns about exposures to oil well fires in Gulf War I, continue to occur today. Although progress has been made in developing Joint Service policies for training and conducting environmental sampling, the military doctrine that drives this training and allows for the purchase of updated sampling equipment has been slow to respond to changes, thus resulting in conflicts between current technology and assets available in the field. The military needs to remain flexible to new technology and new requirements, and must standardize doctrine and training across the services, and acquire standardized, state-of-the-art sampling equipment to improve field assets.

AB - Health threats place the military mission and deployed service members at risk. A commander's focus is on preventing acute health risks, such as diarrhea, because these quickly compromise the mission. However, in recent conflicts chronic and long-term illness risks have emerged as concerns. Department of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff mandates require documentation of exposures and environmental conditions to reconstruct exposures and evaluate future health risks. Current processes for identifying and assessing hazards, including identification and assessment before deployment and in time to take action to prevent or reduce exposures, when followed, are generally adequate for known hazards. Identifying and addressing novel, unexpected risks remain challenges. Armed conflicts are associated with rapidly changing conditions, making ongoing hazard identification and assessment difficult. Therefore, surveillance of the environment for hazards and surveillance of personnel for morbidity must be practiced at all times. Communication of risk information to decision makers is critical but problematic. Preventive Medicine (PM) personnel should take responsibility for communicating this information to non-PM military medical people and to military commanders. Communication of risks identified and lessons learned between PM personnel of different military units is extremely important when one military unit replaces another in a deployed environment.

AB - The ultimate goals of environmental sampling are the protection of health, or barring that, the assessment of health impact to exposed populations. However, environmental samples collected for undefined or poorly defined reasons and that are not part of a feasible strategy of hazard identification, intervention, and follow-up will likely be of limited value. Military commanders and their advisors must be aware of the need to quickly identity potential hazards and to respond appropriately with a comprehensive plan that may include sampling. Before samples are collected, the following must be adequately addressed: (1) the reason for sampling, (2) the parameters to be measured, (3) the possible range of results that might be obtained, and (4) the actions that will be taken in response to various results. Additionally. communication of the risks to commanders and the potentially exposed population is important, particularly if the results are inconclusive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Since 1991, the U.S. Department of Defense has conducted deployment occupational and environmental health surveillance activities in the geographic combatant commands for major conflicts, military exercises, and humanitarian and peace-building missions. The DoD has made significant improvements in documenting and assessing deployment environmental hazards and threats since 1991, illustrated by accomplishments in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Operations Noble Eagle (following the September 11,2001 terrorist attacks); Enduring Freedom-Afghanistan; and Iraqi Freedom (2003-2010). Sampling is now recommended as part of the DoD Exposure Assessment Method, a dynamic process that is performed during all phases of military operations: l--Predeployment, II--Mobilization, III--Conflict, and IV--Postdeployment. From 2001 to 2009, deployed personnel collected over 24,500 air, water, soil, and bulk samples during operations. These efforts have lead to the creation of an environmental health surveillance database that has been used to investigate public health issues. However, gaps exist, especially in the assessment of individual exposures during deployment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Deployments of U.S. Forces to the Persian Gulf (1991), Bosnia and Herzegovina (1995), and Kosovo (1999) were associated with diverse, potential environmental exposures. Health effects possibly associated with these exposures were cause for concern among service members, veterans, and military and civilian leaders. A need for the military to effectively respond to these exposures, and more importantly, to assess and mitigate exposures before deployments and to conduct environmental surveillance during deployments was identified. The Department of Defense encountered many obstacles in dealing with the exposures of 1991. Even though these obstacles were being identified, and in some cases, addressed, responses to historical exposure concerns continued to be reactive. In 1996, efforts were intensified to improve policy and doctrine, field sampling equipment, risk assessment processes, geographic information systems, and other tools needed to effectively identify and reduce the impact of exposures before troops deploy and to conduct environmental surveillance while deployed. Success in these efforts resulted in a comprehensive, planned approach being implemented to address environmental health concerns during the 1999 Kosovo deployment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: In prior reports of active data collection, we demonstrated that early use of emergency tourniquets is associated with improved survival and only minor morbidity. To check these new and important results, we continued critical evaluation of tourniquet use for 6 more months in the current study to see if results were consistent. Methods: We continued a prospective survey of casualties and their records at a combat support hospital in Baghdad who had tourniquets used at a combat hospital in Baghdad (NCT00517166 at ClinicalTrials.gov). Results: After comparable methods were verified for both the first and current studies, we report the results of 499 patients who had 862 tourniquets applied on 651 limbs. The clinical results were consistent. No limbs were lost from tourniquet use. Conclusion: We found that morbidity was minor in light of major survival benefits consistent with prior reports.

AB - Ankle and toot injuries (AFI) are a major cause of Active-Duty Army (ADA) soldiers' time lost from training and combat operations. We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database to compute the rates of AFI to identify high-risk ADA groups for the years 2000-2006. During this time, 16% of soldiers were clinically seen at least once for an AFI. Yearly, 60% to 70% of ADA soldiers with AFI had an ankle sprain/strain, and ankle sprain/strain had the highest 7-year rate of all AFIs (103 per 1,000). From 2000 to 2006, all AFI rates declined; however, enlisted male soldiers ≤30 years of age without an advanced degree were at highest risk. A history of an AFI in the previous 2 years increased AFI rates by 93% to 160%. Our findings provide preliminary evidence for identifying specific ADA groups at high risk of AFI: these groups should be targeted for preventive interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article investigates the various conditions, external and internal, that have determined the contemporary conscription policies of Russia, and what conditions must exist should authorities desire to move toward an all-volunteer force. It starts with a brief examination of the historical background behind current Russian conscription policy, and later looks at contemporary Russian attitudes toward service and the institution of the army. Concerns regarding Russian national security posture and fiscal constraints are then addressed. Despite a shift in mentality among Russia's top leaders as to the orientation of their army's posture, real fiscal conditions limit the implementation of many reforms, including a shift to a more contractual and voluntary form of recruitment. Furthermore, the harsh conditions and sometimes criminal climate that populates Russian units serves as a real deterrent to attract qualified soldiers. Not only do current political sensitivities inhibit further reform, but also it is the culture amidst the army itself that needs modernization. For now, any transition to a more contractual and voluntary form of recruitment will depend on more favorable fiscal conditions and political will to transform age old Russian military climate into one founded on basic respect for others.

N2 - Recreational activities, such as boating, on inland waterways are becoming increasingly more popular at a time when public funding for developing and maintaining recreational facilities and services is generally being reduced. In the United States, federal budgetary funds are allocated based on performance outputs and national economic development benefits and clear priority is given to commercial harbours and navigation channels over recreational harbours. This has created significant difficulties particularly when it comes to dredging during this current period of extremely low water levels. Recreational boating advocates argue that boating is too economically important not to maintain and enhance these recreational harbours, and even more so because of the economic downturn in many regions. Considering these backgrounds, this study provides a review of different methods for estimating the economic impacts of water based recreation activities, including recreational boating, fishing and cruise ship, which are benefited from US Army Corps of Engineers' navigation projects. This paper in further demonstrates the proposed methods by a simulation tool, RECONS (Regional Economic System), developed for US Army Corps of Engineers. This study includes a review of various methods (e.g., surveys) for estimating spending (e.g., annual craft, trip spending) required for use in economic impact assessment models. It will also discuss the importance of, and alternative ways to produce reliable estimates of boating use (e.g., boating trips), including several recent surveys designed and conducted by the authors. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the recreational uses of Inland Waterways and develops economic impacts spending frameworks for different types of recreational activities. This was rarely done by previous studies.

AB - Objective To systematically review the medical literature and comprehensively summarize clinical research done on rehabilitation with a novel portable and noninvasive electrical stimulation device called the cranial nerve noninvasive neuromodulator in patients suffering from nervous system disorders. Data Sources PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from 1966 to March 2013. Study Selection Studies were included if they recruited adult patients with peripheral and central nervous system disorders, were treated with the cranial nerve noninvasive neuromodulator device, and were assessed with objective measures of function. Data Extraction After title and abstract screening of potential articles, full texts were independently reviewed to identify articles that met inclusion criteria. Data Synthesis The search identified 12 publications: 5 were critically reviewed, and of these 5, 2 were combined in a meta-analysis. There were no randomized controlled studies identified, and the meta-analysis was based on pre-post studies. Most of the patients were individuals with a chronic balance dysfunction. The pooled results demonstrated significant improvements in the dynamic gait index postintervention with a mean difference of 3.45 (95% confidence interval, 1.75–5.15; P <.001), Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale with a mean difference of 16.65 (95% confidence interval, 7.65–25.47; P <.001), and Dizziness Handicap Inventory with improvements of −26.07 (95% confidence interval, −35.78 to −16.35; P <.001). Included studies suffered from small sample sizes, lack of randomization, absence of blinding, use of referral populations, and variability in treatment schedules and follow-up rates. Conclusions Given these limitations, the results of the meta-analysis must be interpreted cautiously. Further investigation using rigorous randomized controlled trials is needed to evaluate this promising rehabilitation tool for nervous system disorders.

AB - Purpose: Compare virtual bronchoscopy (VB) to fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) for scoring smoke inhalation injury (SII).Methods: Swine underwent computerized tomography (CT) with VB and FOB before (0) and 24 and 48 h after SII. VB and FOB images were scored by 5 providers off line.Results: FOB and VB scores increased over time (p<0.001) with FOB scoring higher than VB at 0 (0.30±0.79 vs. 0.03±0.17), 24 h (4.21±1.68 vs. 2.47±1.50), and 48h (4.55±1.83 vs. 1.94±1.29). FOB and VB showed association with PaO2-to-FiO2 ratios (PFR) with areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC): for PFR≤300, VB 0.830, FOB 0.863; for PFR≤200, VB 0.794, FOB 0.825; for PFR≤100, VB 0.747, FOB 0.777 (all p<0.001). FOB showed 80.3% specificity, 77% sensitivity, 88.8% negative-predictive value (NPV), and 62.3% positive-predictive value (PPV) for PFR≤300 and VB showed 67.2% specificity, 85.5% sensitivity, 91.3% NPV, and 53.4% PPV.Conclusions: VB provided similar injury severity scores to FOB, correlated with PFR, and reliably detected airway narrowing. VB performed during admission CT may be a useful screening tool specifically to demonstrate airway narrowing induced by SII.

AB - SUMMARY We investigated a mixed outbreak of Legionnaires' disease (LD) and Pontiac fever (PF) at a military base to identify the outbreak's environmental source as well as known legionellosis risk factors. Base workers with possible legionellosis were interviewed and, if consenting, underwent testing for legionellosis. A retrospective cohort study collected information on occupants of the buildings closest to the outbreak source. We identified 29 confirmed and probable LD and 38 PF cases. All cases were exposed to airborne pathogens from a cooling tower. Occupants of the building closest to the cooling tower were 6·9 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2·2-22·0] and 5·5 (95% CI 2·1-14·5) times more likely to develop LD and PF, respectively, than occupants of the next closest building. Thorough preventive measures and aggressive responses to outbreaks, including searching for PF cases in mixed legionellosis outbreaks, are essential for legionellosis control.

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

AB - Introduction: The pulsatile secretion pattern of growth hormone (GH) is an important parameter of GH action at peripheral tissues, and more information is needed on how exercise impacts GH secretion. This study hypothesized that both aerobic and resistance exercise would exhibit dose-response relationships with respect to exercise duration and 20-h postexercise GH secretion. Methods: Eight healthy men randomly completed five separate conditions: 1) control (no exercise; CON), 2) a moderate-duration (1-h) aerobic exercise session (MA), 3) a long-duration (2-h) aerobic exercise session (LA), 4) a moderate-duration (1-h) resistance exercise session (MR), and 5) a long-duration (2-h) resistance exercise session (LR). Exercise intensity, diet, sleep, and physical activity were strictly controlled during each condition, and blood was sampled postexercise every 20 min for 20 h, and GH secretion parameters were analyzed via cluster and deconvolution analyses. Results: Only the 2-h aerobic exercise bout resulted in a significant amplification of GH secretion as evidenced by increases in GH burst peak amplitude (~100%), basal GH secretion rate (~127%), total GH basal secretion (~120%), total pulsatile secretion (~88%), and total GH secretion (~89%) over the control (i.e., no exercise) condition. GH secretions for the resistance exercise conditions were not different from control. Conclusions: The fact that the 2-h aerobic exercise condition resulted in higher energy expenditure than the other exercise conditions could offer a partial explanation for the greater GH amplification because of the metabolic effects that GH exerts in stimulating postexercise lipolysis. We conclude that extending the duration of aerobic exercise, but not resistance exercise, from 1- to 2-h significantly amplifies GH secretion during a 20-h period.

AB - Leaders continuously seek to improve organizational performance and enhance work group effectiveness to drive competitiveness and curtail the cost of employee turnover. The diversity of many work groups in the U.S. creates potential benefits and challenges for their leaders. Using data gathered from a manufacturing facility in southeastern U.S., this study examines how Path-Goal leadership styles, diversity, work group effectiveness, and work group members' turnover intention are related. Although all three Path-Goal leadership styles demonstrated significant positive correlations with work group effectiveness, only the Supportive style showed a significant negative relationship with turnover intention. Interestingly, work group effectiveness showed no significant correlation with turnover intention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A coupled system of wind, wind wave, and coastal circulation models has been implemented for southern Louisiana and Mississippi to simulate riverine flows, tides, wind waves, and hurricane storm surge in the region. The system combines the NOAA Hurricane Research Division Wind Analysis System (H*WIND) and the Interactive Objective Kinematic Analysis (IOKA) kinematic wind analyses, the Wave Model (WAM) offshore and Steady-State Irregular Wave (STWAVE) nearshore wind wave models, and the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) basin to channel-scale unstructured grid circulation model. The system emphasizes a high-resolution (down to 50 m) representation of the geometry, bathymetry, and topography; nonlinear coupling of all processes including wind wave radiation stress-induced set up; and objective specification of frictional parameters based on land-cover databases and commonly used parameters. Riverine flows and tides are validated for no storm conditions, while winds, wind waves, hydrographs, and high water marks are validated for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were powerful storms that impacted southern Louisiana and Mississippi during the 2005 hurricane season. In Part I, the authors describe and validate a high-resolution coupled riverine flow, tide, wind, wave, and storm surge model for this region. Herein, the model is used to examine the evolution of these hurricanes in more detail. Synoptic histories show how storm tracks, winds, and waves interacted with the topography, the protruding Mississippi River delta, east–west shorelines, manmade structures, and low-lying marshes to develop and propagate storm surge. Perturbations of the model, in which the waves are not included, show the proportional importance of the wave radiation stress gradient induced setup. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Many poorly graded granular materials of engineering importance can be characterized as gap-graded binary mixtures. Such mixtures display a volume-change response at a threshold value of the coarse fraction that is reminiscent of systems described by percolation theory. An experimental investigation on a sand-clay mixture is presented that clearly displays threshold behavior and sheds light on the role that each soil fraction plays in transferring loads through the medium. There are two key effects. First, an analysis of void ratio of the interpore clay fraction for varying compaction energies reveals an abrupt reduction in clay density at the threshold fraction of sand, whereby it is virtually impossible to impart compaction on the clay fraction at sand contents exceeding this threshold. Second, although force chains cannot be observed directly, analysis of the sand in terms of its component void ratio, computed based on treating the clay as part of the void space, shows that the sand carries a majority of the load at component void ratios that are too high to form stable force chains. The traditional interrelationship between mean stress and void ratio based on critical state theory breaks down when the sand content nears its threshold fraction. When the sand content is near the threshold limit, increasing mean stress results in a greater dilative tendency. Results are compared with findings on consolidation of sand-bentonite mixtures, and so-called reverse behavior of sand-silt mixtures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sand infiltration into gravel frameworks poses significant engineering and ecological difficulties. Ten flume experiments were conducted to quantify a sand bridging threshold in a static gravel bed. The D15 substrate/d85 sand ratio was computed for each of 37 unique sand-substrate pairs and the data were plotted, with previously published flume data, to determine the threshold between bridging and unimpeded static percolation. The process threshold boundary between bridging and unimpeded static percolation fell in the range of 12 80%), but endurance was highly variable among fish. Small juveniles [< 82 mm total length (TL)] had lower escape speeds (< 40 cm s−1) than medium (82–92 mm TL) and large (> 93 mm TL) naïve fish (42–45 cm s−1), all of which had lower escape speeds than trained fish (72 cm s−1). Behavior was also highly variable among fish. Overall, benthic station-holding behaviors were least frequent in small fish, intermediate in medium and large fish, and most frequent in trained large fish. Probability of entrainment of juvenile white sturgeon can be reduced by maintaining dredge head flow fields at less than 45 cm s−1 for wild-spawned fish or by rearing hatchery fish to > 93 mm TL and exposing the fish to moderate flow velocities (10–12 cm s−1) prior to their release.

AB - Thirty-six sturgeon ( Scaphirhynchus spp.) were captured from the lower Mississippi River using baited trot-lines, anesthetized using tricaine methanesulfonate, and subjected to endoscopic evaluation of their coelom (coelioscopy) on the river bank. Using a 2.7 mm rod-lens telescope and gravity–fed sterile saline infusion, gender and reproductive stage were determined in the field, and later re-evaluted and confirmed by histology of endoscopic biopsies in the laboratory. Gender and reproductive stage were determined endoscopically in all fish without complication, and proved to correlate 100% with biopsy histology. Modern rod-lens telescopes and sterile saline insufflation can be used under field conditions, provide superior visualization of sturgeon gonads, and offer a high degree of accuracy even with inactive gonads. Rigid endoscopy is recommended as a minimally-invasive means of assessing the reproductive organs of sturgeon and other fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Clark synthetic unit hydrograph and the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) curve number method has been used to simulate the rainfall and runoff behavior of a watershed for many years. Methodologies like Clark generally rely on the use of lumped or average rainfall and runoff parameters defined for the watershed, even though such parameters are spatially variable. In an attempt to leverage spatial parameters derived from geographic information, a modified Clark (ModClark) method or quasi-distributed model was developed for HEC-HMS. The ModClark method was initially developed to use the national network of WSR-88D radar (NEXRAD) rainfall data but few has been published on its application which is likely because of the difficulties in obtaining usable and reliable radar rainfall data and because of a lack of despisal preprocessing tools required to parameterize a ModClark simulation. While the original implementation and testing of the ModClark method required the use of NEXRAD data in specific formats, this study shows that it is possible to use any real or synthetic rainfall data whether it is spatially distributed or not. By not restricting the use of the distributed ModClark method to the use of spatially varying rainfall, distributed loss methods such as the commonly used SCS curve number can vary spatially over a grid and the effects of distributed watershed loss parameters can be analyzed with or without distributed rainfall. The implementation of the ModClark method in HEC-HMS is validated by comparing results to the Clark method using identical CN values. Further tests and examination of the SCS equation demonstrate that the runoff computed from distributed CN is always greater than the runoff computed from the traditional composite or area-averaged CN for ordinary ranges of rainfall depths. Moreover, by allowing a relatively fine grid resolution, the ModClark method determines the overall runoff from the watershed using a discharge weighted approach as opposed to weighted CN, which as reported in the National Engineering Handbook Part 630 is more accurate.

AB - Cabomba is a submersed aquatic plant native to the southeastern United States that is commonly sold worldwide through the aquarium trade. While infrequently managed in its native range, cabomba has recently been reported as invasive and tolerant to management efforts in the northern areas of the United States and in other countries. Invasive populations of cabomba are characterized by a phenotype that is bright green. In contrast, cabomba native to the southeastern United States is characterized by a red phenotype, while plants sold through the aquarium trade have intermediate characteristics of both the green and red phenotypes. The response of the three cabomba phenotypes to selected herbicides was evaluated by measuring photosynthetic response over the course of a static 144-hr exposure. Plants were exposed to the maximum recommended use-rates of 2,4-D, carfentrazone, copper, diquat, endothall (amine and dipotasium salt formulation), flumioxazin, quinclorac, triclopyr, and a combination of diquat and copper. A submersed plant species known to be sensitive to each of these herbicides was also included to compare photosynthetic response of the cabomba to a susceptible plant. The photosynthetic response of the red and green phenotypes differed following exposure to carfentrazone, diquat, 2,4-D, triclopyr, and flumioxazin. Diquat, diquat plus copper, endothall (amine salt), and flumioxazin were the only products that resulted in a greater than 50% reduction of photosynthesis in all three phenotypes of cabomba. A second experiment was conducted where all three phenotypes of cabomba were exposed to these four herbicides for 24 hr, and photosynthesis was evaluated. Following the 24-hr exposure, results further documented distinct response differences between the green and red phenotypes, with the green phenotype demonstrating a reduced sensitivity to the herbicides evaluated. Results demonstrate clear phenotypic differences in response to herbicide treatments and lack of susceptibility of cabomba to most herbicides. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Over the years, hurricane track forecasts and storm surge models, as well the digital terrain and bathymetry data they depend on, have improved significantly. Strides have also been made in the knowledge of the detailed variation of the surface wind field driving the surge. The area of least improvement has been in obtaining data on the temporal/spatial evolution of the mound of water that the hurricane wind and waves push against the shore to evaluate the performance of the numerical models. Tide gauges in the vicinity of the landfall are frequently destroyed by the surge. Survey crews dispatched after the event provide no temporal information and only indirect indications of the maximum water level over land. The landfall of Hurricane Bonnie on 26 August 1998, with a surge less than 2 m, provided an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the potential benefits of direct airborne measurement of the temporal/spatial evolution of the water level over a large area. Despite a 160-m variation in aircraft altitude, an 11.5-m variation in the elevation of the mean sea surface relative to the ellipsoid over the flight track, and the tidal variation over the 5-h data acquisition interval, a survey-quality global positioning system (GPS) aircraft trajectory allowed the NASA scanning radar altimeter carried by a NOAA hurricane research aircraft to demonstrate that an airborne wide-swath radar altimeter could produce targeted measurements of storm surge that would provide an absolute standard for assessing the accuracy of numerical storm surge models.

AB - The lateral and vertical variability of snow stratigraphy was investigated through the comparison of the measured profiles of snow density, temperature, and grain size obtained during the Snow Science Traverse—Alaska Region (SnowSTAR2002) 1200-km transect from Nome to Barrow with model reconstructions from the Snow Thermal Model (SNTHERM), a multilayered energy and mass balance snow model. Model profiles were simulated at the SnowSTAR2002 observation sites using the 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis (ERA-40) as meteorological forcing. ERA-40 precipitation was rescaled so that the total snow water equivalent (SWE) on the SnowSTAR2002 observation dates equaled the observed values. The mean absolute error (MAE) of measured and simulated snow properties shows that SNTHERM was able to produce good simulations for snowpack temperature but larger errors for grain size and density. A spatial similarity analysis using semivariograms of measured profiles shows that there is diverse lateral and vertical variability for snow properties along the SnowSTAR2002 transect resulting from differences in initial snow deposition, influenced by wind, vegetation, topography, and postdepositional mechanical and thermal metamorphism. The correlation length in snow density (42 km) is quite low, whereas it is slightly longer for snow grain size (125 km) and longer still for snow temperature (130 km). An important practical question that the observed and reconstructed profiles allow to be addressed is the implications of model errors in the observed snow properties for simulated microwave emissions signatures. The Microwave Emission Model for Layered Snowpacks (MEMLS) was used to simulate 19- and 37-GHz brightness temperatures. Comparison of SNTHERM–MEMLS and SnowSTAR2002–MEMLS brightness temperatures showed a very good match occurs at 19 GHz [a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 1.5 K (8.7 K) for vertical (horizontal) polarization] and somewhat larger [5.9 K (6.2 K) for vertical (horizontal) polarization] at 37 GHz. These results imply that the simulation of snow microphysical profiles is a viable strategy for passive microwave satellite–based retrievals of SWE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The heterocyclic polynitramine hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a highly energetic compound found as a soil contaminant at some defense installations. Although RDX is not lethal to soil invertebrates at concentrations up to 10,000 mg/kg, it decreases earthworm cocoon formation and juvenile production at environmentally relevant concentrations found at contaminated sites. Very little is known about the uptake of RDX in earthworms and the potential risks for food-chain transfer of RDX in the environment. Toxicokinetic studies were conducted to quantify the bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) using adult earthworms (Eisenia andrei) exposed for up to 14 d to sublethal concentrations of nonlabeled RDX or [14C]RDX in a Sassafras sandy loam soil. High-performance liquid chromatography of acetonitrile extracts of tissue and soil samples indicated that nonlabeled RDX can be accumulated by the earthworm in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The BAF, expressed as the earthworm tissue to soil concentration ratio, decreased from 6.7 to 0.1 when the nominal soil RDX concentrations were increased from 1 to 10,000 mg/kg. Tissue concentrations were comparable in earthworms exposed to nonlabeled RDX or [14C]RDX. The RDX bioaccumulation also was estimated using the kinetically derived model (BAFK), based on the ratio of the uptake to elimination rate constants. The established BAFK of 3.6 for [14C]RDX uptake was Consistent with the results for nonlabeled RDX. Radioactivity also was present in the tissue residues of [14C]RDX-exposed earthworms following acetonitrile extraction, suggesting the formation of nonextractable [14C]RDX metabolites associated with tissue macromolecules. These findings demonstrated a net accumulation of RDX in the earthworm and the potential for food-chain transfer of RDX to higher-trophic-level receptors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Bonnet Carré Spillway is a flood-control structure that diverts Mississippi River water into Lake Pontchartrain during exceptionally high river stages. Because of elevated water levels in the Mississippi River in the spring of 1997, the Bonnet Carré Spillway was opened on March 17 and fully closed on April 18. The total volume of water discharged into Lake Pontchartrain was approximately 11.8 km3, or two times the volume of the lake, and the total mass of sediment discharged into the lake was approximately 7.1 × 108 kg (780,000 US tons). In 1996, 757 surface sediment samples were collected in Lake Pontchartrain and were analyzed by x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy for major cation constituents. These same sites were revisited following the 1997 Mississippi River discharge event. Analysis of the 1996 and 1997 lake-bed sediment samples was accomplished utilizing fundamental statistical and graphical methods. Element concentration contour maps and variograms for the major cations illustrate meaningful differences between the pre- and postspillway sediment samples that are not readily apparent in the analysis of the descriptive statistics alone. Major cations exhibited significantly greater spatial continuity in the postspillway samples relative to the preceding year. The concentrations of aluminum and silicon in the postspillway sediments are considered to reflect, respectively, relative variations in clay and silt contribution to total sediment. The higher concentrations of magnesium in samples collected prior to the river diversion represent adsorption of magnesium onto exchange sites in surface sediments due to exposure to more saline waters.

AB - Severe cutaneous injuries continue to result from exposure to sulfur mustard [bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide; HD] and thermal burns. Microarray analysis was utilized in this study to evaluate transcriptional changes in porcine skin assessing the underlying repair mechanisms of HD and thermal injury involved in wound healing. Four ventral abdominal sites on each of 4 weanling swine were exposed to 400 μL undiluted HD or a heated brass rod (70°C) for 8 minutes and 45–60 seconds, respectively. At 7 days postexposure, skin samples were excised and total RNA was isolated, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip (Santa Clara, CA, USA) Porcine Genome Arrays (containing 20,201 genes). Based on the gene expression patterns in HD- and thermal-exposed skin at 7 days, the transcriptional profiles do not differ greatly. HD and thermal exposures promoted similar changes in transcription, where 270 and 283 transcripts were increased with HD and thermal exposures, respectively. Both exposures promoted decreases in 317 and 414 transcripts, respectively. Of the significantly increased transcripts, at least 77% were commonly expressed in both HD- and thermal-exposed skin, whereas at least 67% of decreased transcripts were common between both exposure types. Six of the top 10 biological functions were common to HD and thermal injury in which 9 canonical pathways were shared. The present study illustrates the similarities found between HD and thermal injury with respect to transcriptional response and wound healing and identifies specific genes (CXCL2, CXCR4, FGFR2, HMOX1, IGF1, PF4, PLAU, PLAUR, S100A8, SPP1, and TNC) that may be useful as potential therapeutic targets to promote improved wound healing.

AB - Cane (Arundinaria spp.) was one of the most important plant resources for Native Americans living in the southeastern United States prior to Euro-American settlement. The use of cane permeated virtually every aspect of tribal life. Cane was used to make houses and village structures, military and hunting weapons, fishing gear, furniture and domestic implements, personal adornments, baskets, musical instruments, and watercraft. Medicines were prepared from cane, and parts of the plant furnished food and fuel. Canebrakes provided agricultural land, livestock forage, and habitat for wild game. Although large numbers of canes were harvested each year, there is no historic evidence that Native Americans actively managed canebrakes for the production of culms. The cultural importance of cane to Native Americans declined dramatically following Euro-American settlement of the southeast because: 1) trade goods were deemed superior and replaced articles made from cane in local economies; 2) the rapid" disappearance of canebrakes deprived Native Americans of raw material and forced them to seek alternatives; and, 3) many of southeastern tribes were eventually relocated to regions peripheral to or outside of the geographic range of cane.

AB - Few regions in North America have directly incorporated the implications of climate change in water resources planning initiatives because the relevant information is not readily accessible, and methods for adjusting policy and operations are not obvious. To help one community and to provide an example for managers of other watersheds, we engaged stakeholders in a group model building process to explore plausible water resources futures for the Okanagan Basin, British Columbia, Canada. The process was conducted by a team of academic and federal government researchers and comprised of a sequence of five one-day participatory workshops held within the basin over a 12-month period. Primary workshop objectives included: creating a shared learning experience, developing a customized exploration tool, and fostering trust in the model among the participants. Survey results indicate that the exercise helped participants to expand their thinking to the basin scale and to appreciate the complexity of water management. Participants found the resulting model to be suitable for futures exploration and outreach; however, the high turnover rate in participation limited the sense of ownership in the model by the completion of the final session.

AB - Quantitative structural activity relationship (QSAR) models are receiving wide use because of new regulations and public scrutiny regarding new compounds entered into commerce. Accordingly, the US Department of Defense (DoD) supported this study to evaluate QSAR modeling for energetic compounds. Four compounds proposed to replace ammonium perchlorate were examined: ammonium di(nitramido)amine (ADNA); 1,3,5,5-tetranitrohexahydropyrimidine (DNNC); 1,3,3,5,7,7-hexanitro-1,5-diazacyclooctane (HCO); and diammonium di(nitramido)dinitroethylene (ADNDNE). Currently used compounds were evaluated as analogues for those under development. Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) was the analogue for ADNA; hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) for DNNC; octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) for HCO; and 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethene (FOX-7) for ADNDNE. QSAR analysis was performed with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Estimation Program Interface (EPI) Suite™. The comparison of model estimates to literature values ranged from good-to-poor. Results suggested the proposed replacement compounds have low aquatic toxicities and little potential to bioaccummulate, but the uncertainty in the predictions indicates QSAR modeling with EPI Suite™ is only useful for qualitative assessments of these proposed energetic compounds.

AB - Knowledge gaps in nanomaterial fate and toxicity currently limit the ability of risk assessments to characterize the environmental implications of nanomaterials. This problem is further complicated by the lack of standardized characterization and preparation methodologies for researchers to gain the needed information to assist risk assessors. In the present study, data were generated to determine if multiwalled nanotube (MWNT) fate and toxicity are altered by engineered surface modifications or by different dispersal methods. While dissolved organic matter was a good dispersing agent of MWNTs in water, the humic acid fraction was a more effective dispersant than the fulvic acid fraction. When stabilized in organic matter, the functional group attached to the MWNT controlled its toxicity. Underivatized MWNTs induced relatively moderate toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia after 96 h (25 ± 19% survival at 26 mg/L), while hydrophilic groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl) reduced this toxicity (93 ± 12% survival at 48 mg/L). However, other functional groups (alkyl, amine) increased toxicity (0 ± 0% survival at <15 mg/L). In dispersal method studies, sonication of MWNTs increased fragmentation relative to magnetic stirring. The sonication treatment of MWNTs also slightly reduced the mortality of C. dubia in the water column but increased toxicity in the sediment to Leptocheirus plumulosus and Hyalella azteca. Findings in the present study indicate that nanotubes engineered for specific applications need to be managed independently and that laboratory methods to disperse and test nanotubes in bioassays need to be standardized to obtain repeatable results for comparison of materials.

AB - The Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program Meteorological Support Project ensures the accuracy and reliability of data acquired by meteorological monitoring stations located at seven U.S. Army chemical weapons depots where storage and weapons destruction (demilitarization) activities are ongoing. The data are delivered in real time to U.S. Army plume dispersion models, which are used to plan for and respond to a potential accidental release of a chemical weapons agent. The project provides maintenance, calibration, and audit services for the instrumentation; collection, automated screening, visual inspection, and analysis of the data; and problem reporting and tracking to carefully control the data quality. The resulting high-quality meteorological data enhance emergency response modeling and public safety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Although mean or integral properties of wave spectra are typically used to evaluate numerical wave model performance, one must look into the spectral details to identify sources of model deficiencies. This creates a significant problem, as basin-scale wave models can generate millions of independent spectral values. To facilitate selection of a wave modeling technology for producing a multidecade Pacific hindcast, a new approach was developed to reduce the spectral content contained in detailed wave hindcasts to a convenient set of performance indicators. The method employs efficient image processing tools to extract windsea and swell wave components from monthly series of nondirectional and directional wave spectra. Using buoy observations as ground truth, both temporal correlation (TC) and quantile–quantile (QQ) statistical analyses are used to quantify hindcast skill in reproducing measured wave component height, period, and direction attributes. An integrated performance analysis synthesizes the TC and QQ results into a robust assessment of prediction skill and yields distinctive diagnostics on model inputs and source term behavior. The method is applied to a set of Pacific basin hindcasts computed using the WAM, WAVEWATCH III, and WAVAD numerical wave models. The results provide a unique assessment of model performance and have guided the selection of WAVEWATCH III for use in Pacific hindcast production runs for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wave Information Studies Program.

AB - The normal range of human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (RBC-AChE) activity is important when monitoring exposure to pesticides and chemical warfare agents. A modification of Michel’s method measured RBC-AChE activities from 991 individuals (818 males and 173 females) presumably unexposed to nerve agents. Median age was 42 (range, 18–76) years. RBC-AChE (mean ± SD) was 0.74 ± 0.06 delta pH units/hour. Multivariate linear regression showed an association with age (slope +0.0008 delta pH units/hour for each year; P < 0.001) unlikely to be clinically significant. The findings represent the largest study of human RBC-AChE to date providing measures of central tendency and variation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Arthropod-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, scrub typhus, and leishmaniasis continue to pose a significant threat to U.S. military forces deployed in support of operational and humanitarian missions. These diseases are transmitted by a variety of arthropods, including mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, sand flies, and biting midges. In addition to disease threats, biting arthropods can cause dermatitis, allergic reactions, and sleep loss; therefore, monitoring of vector impact and integrated use of personal protective measures (PPM) and methods to reduce the vector populations are needed to protect service members. The U.S. military has played a vital role in vector identification tools and the development and testing of many of the most effective PPM and vector control products available today, including the topical repellent DEET and the repellent/insecticide permethrin, which is applied to clothing and bed nets. Efforts to develop superior products are ongoing. Although the U.S. military often needs vector control products with rather specific properties (e.g., undetectable, long-lasting in multiple climates) in order to protect its service members, many Department of Defense vector control products have had global impacts on endemic disease control.

AB - To support the determination of hydrophytic vegetation in wetland delineations in Alaska, USA, a series of tests were conducted to develop a group of "test positive" species to be used in a "cryptogam indicator." Iin 2004, non-vascular cryptogam species (bryophytes, lichens, and fungi) from Iinterior and South-Central Alaska in the vicinities of Fairbanks and Anchorage were collected at a series of ten 50 x 50 cm plots along two 30 m transects in each of six upland and five wetland sites. Nineteen moss and liverwort species were selected from 86 species surveyed to test for wetland fidelity. In 2005, a plot-based analysis of frequency and cover data yielded a revised list of 17 bryophyte species that were specific to wetland communities dominated by black spruce, Picea mariana (Pp. Mill.) Bb.S.Fungi and lichens were found to be inadequate wetland indicators in the sampled locations because the lichen species were sparsely distributed and the fungi were too ephemeral. The cryptogam indicator was thus restricted to bryophytes. Also in 2005, bryophytes were analyzed for their presence on microtopographic positions within the landscape, including tops of hummocks and hollows at the bases of hummocks. Upland bryophyte species were found on hummock tops inside the wetland boundary, but were not abundant in the hollows (p < 0.05). The fidelity of the species selected for use in the cryptogam indicator was tested. It was determined that if more than 50% of all bryophyte cover present in hollows is composed of one or more of the 17 wetland bryophytes tested in 2005, then vascular vegetation can be considered to be hydrophytic (p < 0.001).

AB - Afin d'étayer la présence de végétation hydrophytique dans les délimitations de zones humides de l'Alaska, aux États-Unis, une série de tests a été effectuée dans le but d'aboutir à un groupe d'espèces «de test positives» à utiliser avec un «indicateur de sporophyte». En 2004, des espèces de sporophytes non vasculaires (bryophytes, lichens et champignons) de l'intérieur et du centre-sud de l'Alaska, aux environs de Fairbanks et d'Anchorage, ont été recueillies à une série de dix parcelles de 50 sur 50 cm le long de deux transects de 30 m dans chacun de six sites montagnards et de cinq sites humides. Dix-neuf espèces de mousse et d'hépatiques ont été choisies à partir de 86 espèces prélevées dans le but d'en déterminer la fidélité aux zones humides. En 2005, une analyse de fréquence de parcelles et des données de couverture ont permis d'obtenir la liste révisée de 17 espèces de bryophytes propres aux zones humides dominées par l'épinette noire, Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. Nous avons constaté que les champignons et les lichens étaient des indicateurs de zones humides inadéquats aux sites échantillonnés parce que les espèces de lichen étaient réparties maigrement et que les champignons étaient trop éphémères. Par conséquent, l'indicateur de sporophytes a été restreint aux bryophytes. Également en 2005, nous avons analysé les bryophytes afin d'en déterminer la présence à des positions microtopographiques du paysage, ce qui comprenait le sommet de hummocks et les creux à la base de hummocks. Des espèces de bryophytes montagnardes ont été décelées aux sommets de hummocks à l'intérieur de la limite des zones humides, mais celles-ci n'abondaient pas dans les creux (p < 0.05). La fidélité des espèces choisies afin d'être utilisées dans l'indicateur de sporophytes a été testée. Nous avons déterminé que si plus de 50 % de toute la couverture de bryophyte présente dans les creux est composée de l'une ou plusieurs des 17 bryophytes de zones humides testées en 2005, la végétation vasculaire peut alors être considérée comme hydrophytique (p < 0,001).

AB - Numerical and physical modeling studies were performed by the Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to investigate the spatial and temporal behavior of waves and wave-induced currents near jetties of an idealized coastal inlet. Hydrodynamics were examined in the vicinity of two extreme types of jetty structure: a highly absorbing jetty (resembling fairly porous rock rubble structure) and a fully reflective jetty (resembling a vertical sheet pile or caisson type breakwater). Laboratory experiments in a Froude scale of 1:50 were conducted with regular and irregular shore-normal (0°) and obliquely incident (20°) unidirectional waves. Current and wave measurements were made on the up-wave side and inside the inlet as well as in the bay, along a number of cross-shore and along-shore transects. Wave directions were measured by a remote-sensing video-camera system and Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters (ADV). Numerical modeling was performed with the Coastal Modeling System (CMS) consisting of a two-dimensional circulation model coupled to a spectral wave model. Calculated current and wave fields from CMS in the area around and between absorbing or reflected jetties were compared to measurements. The highly reflecting jetty created a circulation cell on the up-wave side of the inlet, whereas the absorbing jetty did not. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) were orally exposed via gavage to 0, 0.5, 3, 8, 12, or 17 mg/kg of RDX (1,3,5- trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) in corn oil daily for 14 d to evaluate sublethal effects of this explosive in birds. Mortality occurred at a rates of 100, 67, and 25% for the 17, 12, and 8 mg/kg/d dose groups, respectively. Death was preceded by clonic and tonic convulsions and weight loss caused by gastrointestinal effects. Increases in serum globulin and total leukocytes were observed in the two highest-dose groups. Degeneration of testicular and splenic tissue also was observed. The no-observed-adverse-effects and lowestobserved-adverse-effects levels were determined as 3.0 and 8.0 mg/kg/d, respectively.

AB - More than half of the commercially navigable waterways in the United States are adversely impacted at some time by ice and debris conditions that hinder operation and delay navigation. This paper describes a method of combining a depth-averaged two-dimensional flow model and a discrete element model customized to simulate floating objects such as ice and debris. The flow model is the shallow-water equation module of the adaptive hydraulics system. The discrete element model (DEM) is based on a method that has been used to simulate river ice and debris accumulations and vessels such as barges. The modeling system provides designers of hydraulic structures, bridges, and ice control structures, a physically based method to evaluate design alternatives in dealing with problems due to the presence of floating objects. Descriptions of the flow model and the DEM are presented, and then numerical applications are provided, demonstrating the modeling of debris passage at the Harlan Diversion Tunnel and the evaluation of navigation conditions attributed to the guard wall at the Greenup Locks and Dam.

AB - Details on fall-related circumstances, a leading cause of occupational injury, are scarce. This study aimed to identify modifiable causes of falls using data from safety reports. Coded and narrative data on injured persons, event locations, and circumstances associated with falls sustained by U.S. Army personnel were obtained from safety reports dated September 1994–September 2002. Descriptive statistics are presented for injury outcomes and risk factors, with a focus on falls from elevation. On average, 59 fall-related injuries/100,000 person-years were reported. Higher rates occurred among whites, single persons, and 20–24 year-olds. Falls from elevation resulted in more severe outcomes, longer hospitalizations, and more lost work time compared to falls from the same level. Most falls from elevation occurred in training (32%) and housing (18%) areas. Leading causes included routine activities (e.g., walking, entering/exiting vehicles) (35%), physical training (12%), and sports (12%). Interventions to prevent falls from elevation in this population should focus on reducing risks from routine activities, specifically in training and housing areas. Safety reports provided details necessary for prioritizing and planning fall prevention efforts that are not available from other sources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Thermodynamic analyses can be performed based on energy-gross and exergy-net quantities. These topics are discussed in the context of the United States Military Academy at West Point's power plant and the project that students work on as a part of their course requirements for three courses. A systematic, detailed, and comprehensive methodology is presented based on recent experiences that can be a standard for similar academic instruction of thermodynamic concepts and power plants. A well-defined case study for the classroom will yield more effective learning of and inspire a greater appreciation for critical power technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Public health concerns such as multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, bioterrorism, pandemic influenza, and sick building syndrome have brought about increased interest in the use of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to prevent the spread of airborne infection. UVGI lamps require that radiometric measurements be performed to ensure their safe and effective use. This study evaluates 10 detectors that measure the ultraviolet radiation hazard of low-pressure mercury UVGI lamps, including a polychromator spectroradiometer, narrowband detectors designed to measure the ultraviolet radiation in a short range of wavelengths, and broadband detectors with a varying spectral response designed to follow the UV hazard action spectrum. The angular responses, spectral responses, and linearity of the detectors were measured and compared. The agreement between the measured angular responses and the ideal cosine responses varied widely among the detectors, and in general, the detectors with diffusing optics agreed significantly better with the ideal cosine response. The spectral responses at 254 nm also varied widely among the detectors, and, in general, the narrowband detectors agreed more closely with the 254 nm irradiances measured under the same conditions by a double monochromator spectroradiometer. All detectors displayed good linearity. The angular and spectral response data were then used to develop correction factors for the effective irradiance measurements of two UVGI sources, each measured at 10, 20, and 30 cm. The measured effective irradiances were compared with those measured by a double monochromator spectroradiometer with an integrating sphere input optic. Prior to correction, the effective irradiances measured by the detectors varied widely, ranging from 0.29 to 2.7 times those measured by the spectroradiometer. The application of cosine and spectral response correction factors significantly improved the agreement for the effective irradiances measured by all of the detectors, typically to within 10-20%. Awareness of these detector characteristics can play a key role in ensuring the accuracy of health hazard measurements of UVGI lamps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A risk analysis methodology is presented in this paper for protected hurricane-prone regions. The methodology is intended to assist decision and policy makers, and has the characteristics of being analytic, transparent, quantitative, and probabilistic. The hazard is quantified using a probabilistic framework to obtain hazard profiles as elevation-exceedance rates, and the risk profiles as loss-exceedance rates that are based on a spectrum of hurricanes determined using a joint probability distribution of the parameters that define hurricane intensity. The resulting surges, waves, and precipitations are used to evaluate the performance of a hurricane protection system consisting of a series of basins and subbasins that define the interior drainage characteristics of the system. The protection against flooding is provided by levees, floodwalls, closure gates, and interior drainage system and pumping stations. Stage-storage relationships define the characteristics of subbasins and the population and property at risk. The proposed methodology will enable decision makers to evaluate alternatives for managing risk such as: providing increased hurricane protection, increasing evacuation effectiveness, changing land-use policy, enhancing hurricane protection system operations, and increasing public and governmental preparedness.

AB - This paper describes a case study implementing a methodology for assessing risks to protected hurricane-prone regions. A simple hurricane protection system is constructed to illustrate the required inputs for the system definition, computations, and hazard and risk profiles. The inputs include the required specifications for basin and subbasin reaches, transitions, and associated fragilities, closures, and storm parameters. Moreover, the case study produces elevation- and loss-exceedance probability and rate curves for each subbasin and the system as a whole, and demonstrates quantitative benefit-cost analysis using this risk information. The implementation of the risk model is packaged as the Flood Risk Analysis for Tropical Storm Environments tool currently in use by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineering Interagency Performance Evaluation Team charged with assessing hurricane risks to the New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana, and proposed changes to the hurricane protection system.

AB - Experiments were conducted in the Large-scale Sediment Transport Facility (LSTF) at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center to investigate the importance of wave height, period, and breaker type (spilling and plunging breakers) on total rate of longshore sediment transport (LST) and the cross-shore distribution of LST. Estimates computed by the CERC formula and Kamphius were compared to the accurately measured total LST rates. Several K-values were used with the CERC formula, including the recommended value of 0.39 and calculated values by Kamphuis and Readshaw, Ozhan, Bailard, and Del Valle et al. The recommended K-value and most of the calculated K-values overpredicted the measured total LST rates, but methods that included parameters to indicate breaker type gave good estimates. The Kamphuis and Readshaw equation, in which K is a function of surf similarity parameter, gave consistent estimates with measurements. The Kamphuis equation, which includes wave period and beach slope that in turn influences wave breaking, also compared well with the measurements. Additionally, the CERC formula has been used successfully if K is calibrated, and the formula gave excellent results if K was calibrated with measured data and applied to similar breaker types. The findings indicate that total LST rate is strongly influenced by breaker type. The cross-shore distribution of LST indicated three distinct zones of transport: the incipient breaker zone, the inner surf zone, and the swash zone. Transport in the incipient breaker zone was influenced by breaker type. Transport in the inner surf zone indicated that wave height was the dominating factor and independent of wave period. Swash zone transport, which accounted for a significant percentage of the total transport, showed a dependence on wave height, period, and beach slope. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has been widely used as an explosive in munition formulations, resulting in contamination of wildlife habitat on military installations. To estimate health effects for reptilian species, acute, subacute, and subchronic oral toxicity studies were conducted using the Western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). Estimated oral median lethal doses were 72 (95% confidence interval [CI], 49-106) mg/kg body weight (slope, 3.754) for males and 88 (95% CI, 65- 119) mg/kg (slope, 4.525) for females. Toxicity from RDX suggested the neurological system as the critical target tissue. A 14-d subacute study followed with males dosed orally with RDX (corn oil) at 0, 10, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 mg/kg/d. Signs of toxicity frequently included a characteristic body posture. A significant dose-survival relationship was seen over the range of doses, with a significant decrease in survival at 20 mg/kg/d. Males in the 60-d subchronic study were dosed at 0, 1, 2.5, 5, 8, and 11 mg/ kg/d, and signs of toxicity included lethargy, cachexia, and anorexia. Survival was decreased at 8 and 11 mg/kg/d. Reduced growth rate and food consumption occurred at 5 mg/kg/d. Brain tissue was assayed for RDX when seizures were observed at a residue concentration of at least 18 μg/g. No abnormalities were observed in the hematologic indices, whereas plasma proteins were reduced. Hepatic enlargement and decreased testes mass occurred at 8 and 11 mg/kg/d. Plasma testosterone concentrations, sperm counts, and motility measures were variable for all treatment levels. Based on survival, growth rate, food intake, and testes to brain weight ratios, these data suggest a lowest-observed-adverse effect level of 5 mg/kg/d and a no-observed-adverse effect level of 2.5 mg/ kg/d.

AB - During April 2007, a coordinated series of snow measurements was made across the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada, during a snowmobile traverse from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Baker Lake, Nunavut. The purpose of the measurements was to document the general nature of the snowpack across this region for the evaluation of satellite- and model-derived estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE). Although detailed, local snow measurements have been made as part of ongoing studies at tundra field sites (e.g., Daring Lake and Trail Valley Creek in the Northwest Territories; Toolik Lake and the Kuparak River basin in Alaska), systematic measurements at the regional scale have not been previously collected across this region of northern Canada. The snow cover consisted of depth hoar and wind slab with small and ephemeral fractions of new, recent, and icy snow. The snow was shallow (<40 cm deep), usually with fewer than six layers. Where snow was deposited on lake and river ice, it was shallower, denser, and more metamorphosed than where it was deposited on tundra. Although highly variable locally, no longitudinal gradients in snow distribution, magnitude, or structure were detected. This regional homogeneity allowed us to identify that the observed spatial variability in passive microwave brightness temperatures was related to subgrid fractional lake cover. Correlation analysis between lake fraction and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) brightness temperature showed frequency dependent, seasonally evolving relationships consistent with lake ice drivers. Simulations of lake ice thickness and snow depth on lake ice produced from the Canadian Lake Ice Model (CLIMo) indicated that at low frequencies (6.9, 10.7 GHz), correlations with lake fraction were consistent through the winter season, whereas at higher frequencies (18.7, 36.5 GHz), the strength and direction of the correlations evolved consistently with the penetration depth as the influence of the subice water was replaced by emissions from the ice and snowpack. A regional rain-on-snow event created a surface ice lens that was detectable using the AMSR-E 36.5-GHz polarization gradient due to a strong response at the horizontal polarization. The appropriate polarization for remote sensing of the tundra snowpack depends on the application: horizontal measurements are suitable for ice lens detection; vertically polarized measurements are appropriate for deriving SWE estimates.

AB - Almost 95% of the entire population of the Siberian crane ( Grus leucogeranus) winter in Poyang Lake, China, where they forage on the tubers of the submerged aquatic macrophyte Vallisneria spiralis. The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River may possibly affect this food source of the Siberian crane by affecting the light intensity reaching the top of the V. spiralis canopy. In this study, the photosynthetically active radiation at the top of the V. spiralis canopy (PARtc) in Lake Dahuchi was modeled from 1998 to 2006, and the potential impacts of changes in water level and turbidity on the underwater light climate of V. spiralis were analyzed. PARtc was calculated from incident irradiance while the losses due to reflection at the water surface, absorption, and scattering within the water column were taken into consideration. The results indicated significant differences in PARtc between years. Six years of water level and Secchi disk depth records revealed a seasonal switching of the lake from a turbid state at low water levels in autumn, winter, and spring to a clear state at high water levels during the monsoon in summer. The highest PARtc occurred at intermediate water levels, which were reached when the Yangtze River forces Lake Dahuchi out of its turbid state in early summer and the water becomes clear. The intended operation of the Three Gorges Dam, which will increase water levels in May and June, may advance the moment when Lake Dahuchi switches from turbid to clear. We suggest that this might increase production of V. spiralis and possibly improve the food habitat conditions for wintering Siberian crane in Poyang Lake . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Alluvial fans in southern California are continuously being developed for residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural purposes. Development and alteration of alluvial fans often require consideration of mud and debris flows from burned mountain watersheds. Accurate prediction of sediment (hyper-concentrated sediment or debris) yield is essential for the design, operation, and maintenance of debris basins to safeguard properly the general population. This paper presents results based on a statistical model and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models. The models predict sediment yield caused by storms following wildfire events in burned mountainous watersheds. Both sediment yield prediction models have been developed for use in relatively small watersheds (50-800 ha) in the greater Los Angeles area. The statistical model was developed using multiple regression analysis on sediment yield data collected from 1938 to 1983. Following the multiple regression analysis, a method for multi-sequence sediment yield prediction under burned watershed conditions was developed. The statistical model was then calibrated based on 17 years of sediment yield, fire, and precipitation data collected between 1984 and 2000. The present study also evaluated ANN models created to predict the sediment yields. The training of the ANN models utilized single storm event data generated for the 17-year period between 1984 and 2000 as the training input data. Training patterns and neural network architectures were varied to further study the ANN performance. Results from these models were compared with the available field data obtained from several debris basins within Los Angeles County. Both predictive models were then applied for hind-casting the sediment prediction of several post 2000 events. Both the statistical and ANN models yield remarkably consistent results when compared with the measured field data. The results show that these models are very useful tools for predicting sediment yield sequences. The results can be used for scheduling cleanout operation of debris basins. It can be of great help in the planning of emergency response for burned areas to minimize the damage to properties and lives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Hawaiian fringing reefs display sand bodies on their surfaces that are potentially important components of littoral sediment budgets. This work provides a regional survey of modern reef-top sediment storage and investigated geologic controls on sediment storage potential. Sand bodies are formed when sediment accumulates in topographic depressions that are the result of meteoric water eroding the emerged carbonate reef platform during periods of lower sea level. The relief of some depressions may be modified by Holocene reef accretion. Depression morphology exerts a strong control on volume and internal distribution of sediment. In this study a total of 205 jet probe thickness measurements was collected from 54 major sand bodies on the fringing reef (0-20 m depth) adjacent to 22 km of Southeast O'ahu coastline (Kailua, Lanikai, and Waimānalo). Volumes were determined and synthesized with previous volume estimates of coastal subaerial and deeper submarine sediment bodies (20-200 m depth), giving the total sediment storage within the coastal system. Sand bodies range from 50 to 2,800 m from shore. Measured thickness varied from 0 to greater than 3.0 m with a mean of 0.95 m. For this study sand bodies were classified into three dominate morphologies: channel, field, and karst depression. The volume of sediment stored in channels was 58,253 ± 618 x l0³ m³, fields contained 171 ± 6 x l0³ m³, and karst depressions contained 1,332 ± 248 x l0³ m³. Correlation of sediment body distribution with reef and coastal plain morphology revealed potential geologic controls on sand body formation in this region. Meteoric runoff and reef slope are important controls on spatial distribution of sand bodies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study investigated the effect of high flow conditions on aerosol penetration and the relationship between penetration at constant and cyclic flow conditions. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved N95 and P100 filtering facepiece respirators and cartridges were challenged with inert solid and oil aerosols. A combination of monodisperse aerosol and size-specific aerosol measurement equipment allowed count-based penetration measurement of particles with nominal diameters ranging from 0.02 to 2.9 μm. Three constant flow conditions (85, 270, and 360 L/min) were selected to match the minute, inhalation mean, and inhalation peak flows of the four cyclic flow conditions (40, 85, 115, and 135 L/min) tested. As expected, penetration was found to increase under increased constant and cyclic flow conditions. The most penetrating particle size (MPPS) generally ranged from 0.05 to 0.2 μm for P100 filters and was approximately 0.05 μm for N95 filters. Although penetration increased at the high flow conditions, the MPPS was relatively unaffected by flow. Of the constant flows tested, the flows equivalent to cyclic inhalation mean and peak flows best approximated the penetration measurements of the corresponding cyclic flows. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The prediction of berm and dune erosion during a storm is essential for storm damage assessment. Simple and transparent formulas for the cross-shore and longshore transport rates of suspended sediment and bed load on beaches are proposed and incorporated into a combined wave and current model to predict the berm and dune erosion under normally and obliquely incident irregular waves. Two small-scale experiments for two different berm profiles were conducted for the calibration of the developed numerical model. The calibrated numerical model is shown to predict the measured berm and dune erosion in these experiments as well as dune erosion measured in three large-scale tests with errors less than a factor of two. The numerical model is used to examine the effects of the wave period and incident wave angle on the berm and dune erosion. These effects are computed to be within a factor of two.

AB - We document the development and application of a one-dimensional flow model of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal based on the dynamic form of the St. Venant equations. Model geometry is based on hydrographic surveys obtained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 2006. The model is forced with time-varying tidal boundary conditions at the east and west ends of the Canal, and predicts velocity and discharge at selected locations within the canal. The model was calibrated using current meter data obtained between October 1992 and October 1993, when USACE operated recording current meters in and adjacent to the canal. Following selection of these parameters, the model was run to simulate other periods between October 1992 and October 1993. Comparison of model and prototype current speeds for these simulations demonstrates the ability of the model to reproduce observed flows accurately under a range of tidal forcing conditions. The model was used to describe the average net flow in the canal which is normally from the Chesapeake to the Delaware but which reversed during the Northeaster of December 1992, a period of unusually high meteorologically driven tides of the Delaware Estuary.

AB - The effects of sulfate on the population dynamics of an anaerobic hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX)-degrading consortium were studied using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis. One hundred percent of the initial RDX was degraded in the sulfate-amended culture within 3 days of incubation. In the sulfate-unamended cultures, 35% of the initial RDX remained after 3 days and 8% after 7 days of incubation. Based on the T-RFLP distribution of the community 16S rDNA genes, the microcosm consisted predominantly of two organisms, a Geobacter sp. (78%) and an Acetobacterium sp. (14%). However, in the presence of sulfate, both species decreased to less than 3% of the total population within 3 days and an unclassified Clostridiaceae became the dominant organism at 40% the total fragment distribution. This indicated the explosive-degrading consortium had greater diversity than initially perceived and rapidly adapted to a readily available electron acceptor, which in turn stimulated RDX degradation.

AB - In 1879, General William T. Sherman remarked that, although he had known Ulysses S. Grant for years, "to me he is a mystery, and I believe he is a mystery to himself." Many authors have claimed to have solved or at least shed fresh light on the mystery of Grant. For the most part, they have portrayed Grant as a great general and good man, dissenting strongly with the highly negative portrayal of Grant contained in William S. McFeely's 1981 Pulitzer Prize-winning study. This article traces the evolution of Grant scholarship since 1981 and suggests possible lines of inquiry for future Grant scholars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During these years, however, the army suffered from a crippling manpower dilemma, both in quantity and in quality, the result of a limited national mobilization and President Harry Truman's decision to cut the army's budget without cutting its missions. This dilemma adversely affected combat effectiveness, readiness, and morale while also exposing aspects of the army's institutional culture that some career soldiers found disturbing.

AB - PURPOSE: Sports medicine professionals commonly describe two functionally different units of the vastus medialis (VM), the VM, and the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), but the anatomical support is equivocal. The functional difference of the VMO is principle to rehabilitation programs designed to alleviate anterior knee pain, a pathology that is known to have a greater occurrence in women. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the motor units of the VM and VMO are differentially recruited and if this recruitment pattern has an effect of sex or menstrual cycle phase. METHODS: Single motor unit recordings from the VM and VMO were obtained for men and women during an isometric ramp knee extension. Eleven men were tested once. Seven women were tested during five different phases of the menstrual cycle, determined by basal body temperature mapping. The recruitment threshold and the initial firing rate at recruitment were determined from 510 motor unit recordings. RESULTS: The initial firing rate was lower in the VMO than that in the VM in women (P < 0.001) but not in men. There was no difference in recruitment thresholds for the VM and VMO in either sex or across the menstrual cycle. There was a main effect of menstrual phase on initial firing rate, showing increases from the early follicular to late luteal phase (P = 0.003). The initial firing rate in the VMO was lower than that in the VM during ovulatory (P = 0.009) and midluteal (P = 0.009) phases. CONCLUSION: The relative control of the VM and VMO changes across the menstrual cycle. This could influence patellar pathologies that have a higher incidence in women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: We examined the potential effectiveness of four brief interventions, three behavioral and one nutritional, for helping high math-anxious college students regulate negative emotions immediately prior to a time-pressured arithmetic test. Participants with low versus high math anxiety performed a timed arithmetic task after practicing one of three short-term breathing exercises promoting focused attention, unfocused attention, or worry, and after consuming either 0 or 200mg l-theanine. Overall, participants with high math anxiety underperformed relative to those with low math anxiety. This effect, however, was largely alleviated by a focused breathing exercise, which increased rated calmness and enhanced performance on the arithmetic test amongst those with high math anxiety. l-theanine supplementation showed only minimal effects. These results provide insights into the attentional mechanisms involved in regulating the negative emotions that lead to testing underperformance, and suggest that focused breathing exercises can be a useful, practical tool for helping address the negative impacts of math anxiety.

AB - The foliar pathogen Pseudomonas syringae is a useful model for understanding the role of stress adaptation in leaf colonization. We investigated the mechanistic basis of differences in the osmotolerance of two P. syringae strains, B728a and DC3000. Consistent with its higher survival rates following inoculation onto leaves, B728a exhibited superior osmotolerance over DC3000 and higher rates of uptake of plant-derived osmoprotective compounds. A global transcriptome analysis of B728a and DC3000 following an osmotic upshift demonstrated markedly distinct responses between the strains; B728a showed primarily upregulation of genes, including components of the type VI secretion system (T6SS) and alginate biosynthetic pathways, whereas DC3000 showed no change or repression of orthologous genes, including downregulation of the T3SS. DC3000 uniquely exhibited improved growth upon deletion of the biosynthetic genes for the compatible solute N-acetylglutaminylglutamine amide (NAGGN) in a minimal medium, due possibly to NAGGN synthesis depleting the cellular glutamine pool. Both strains showed osmoreduction of glnA1 expression, suggesting that decreased glutamine synthetase activity contributes to glutamate accumulation as a compatible solute, and both strains showed osmoinduction of 5 of 12 predicted hydrophilins. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the superior epiphytic competence of B728a is consistent with its strong osmotolerance, a proactive response to an osmotic upshift, osmoinduction of alginate synthesis and the T6SS, and resiliency of the T3SS to water limitation, suggesting sustained T3SS expression under the water-limited conditions encountered during leaf colonization.

AB - Although nanotechnology advancements should be fostered, the environmental health and safety (EHS) of nanoparticles used in technologies must be quantified simultaneously. However, most EHS studies assess the potential implications of the free nanoparticles which may not be directly applicable to the EHS of particles incorporated into in-use technologies. This investigation assessed the aquatic toxicological implications of copper oxide (CuO) nanospheres relative to CuO nanorods used in nanoenergetic applications to improve combustion. Particles were tested in both the as-received form and following combustion of a CuO/aluminum nanothermite. Results indicated nanospheres were more stable in water and slowly released ions, while higher surface area nanorods initially released more ions and were more toxic but generally less stable. After combustion, particles sintered into larger, micrometer-scale aggregates, which may lower toxicity potential to pelagic organisms due to deposition from water to sediment and reduced bioavailability after complexation with sediment organic matter. Whereas the larger nanothermite residues settled rapidly, implying lower persistence in water, their potential to release dissolved Cu was higher which led to greater toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia relative to parent CuO material (nanosphere or rod). This study illustrates the importance of considering the fate and toxicology of nanoparticles in context with their relevant in-use applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Bioaerosol detection and identification systems need to be periodically checked for assurance that they are responsive to aerosol challenges. Herein, pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) containing ethanol suspensions of two simulants forB. anthracisspores are considered for providing suitable aerosols. Doses and shot weights from pMDIs with canisters having volumes equal to that of 200 metering-valve actuations were constant for ≤165 actuations, but drop beyond that range. There were statistically significant dose variations between replicate pMDIs and between two types of actuators used on the pMDIs. The storage half-lives of pMDIs filled withBacillus atrophaeus(BG) andBacillus thuringiensissubsp.israelensis(Bti) spore formulations are predicted to be 32 and 136 months, respectively, if the canisters are stored under refrigeration (4°C). The prediction is based on use of a logarithmic regression model relating CFU per actuation to storage time, with data taken at times of 1–12 months. Demonstration of the utility of the concept was provided by producing responses from a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identifier with pMDI-generated BG and Bti aerosols that were collected with a 100 L/min wetted wall bioaerosol sampling cyclone.

AB - Abstract: Small arms firing ranges (SAFRs) contain a mixed amount of bullets and bullet fragments accumulated throughout their designed lifetime. Lead-antimony (Pb-Sb) alloy copper (Cu) jacketed bullets are a common modern ammunition used at SAFRs. The impact of bullets with berm material (i.e., soil) generates a heterogeneous distribution of bullets and bullet fragments in the surrounding soil. As bullets and bullet fragments corrode in the berm soil, the migration potential for antimony compared to other metals is quite high. The goal of this study was to evaluate the spatial Sb migration potential from an SAFR as compared to lead, copper, and zinc (Zn) migration from the same SAFR. Berm soil samples were collected along with surface and ground water samples for a preliminary investigation of the Sb migration from an active SAFR. In addition, different aqueous sample preservation techniques were used and evaluated. Soil sample analysis results show the presence of the metals (i.e., Pb, Sb, Cu, and Zn) in the range floor soil samples, indicating the migration of these metals from the berm to the range floor. The groundwater samples indicate that Sb was migrating from the SAFR more readily than the other metals based on the concentration of Sb in the monitoring well farthest from the SAFR berm.

AB - Abstract: We present theoretical and experimental analysis of photocarrier kinetics in quantum dot (QD) solar cells. The measurements of the J–V characteristics reveal strong effects of QD charging by selective doping of the interdot space on the solar cell characteristics. We demonstrate that charging of QDs significantly increases electron coupling to sub-bandgap photons, provides effective harvesting of IR energy, and serve as an effective tool for manipulating the potential profile at the micro- and nanoscale. The potential well for electrons in InAs QDs is substantially deeper than that for holes and, due to major differences between the effective masses of electrons and holes, the electron level spacing is substantially larger than the level spacing for holes. Therefore, QDs act as deep traps for electrons but shallow traps for holes. Filling of QDs under illumination is determined by a condition of equality of electron and hole capture rates which is realized via strong exponential dependence of the capture rates on the potential barrier around a charged dot. Without adequate doping of the QD medium, QDs are filled by electrons from the n-doped junction area and deteriorate the solar cell performance. However, selective n-doping of the QD medium results in micro- and nanoscale potential profiles favorable for photovoltaic conversion. Potential barriers around charged QDs decrease the photoelectron capture processes and suppress recombination processes via QDs. The filling of QDs predominantly from dopants in the QD medium allows one to maintain the microscale potential profile analogous to that in the best conventional single-junction solar cells.

AB - The output from an earth pressure cell (EPC) is usually related to the normal stress in soil through fluid calibration, where a known pressure is applied to the EPC and the output is recorded. However, distribution of normal stress within a soil is not uniform, and the EPC is not an ideal membrane-bending stiffness affects the response. These factors complicate the performance of the EPC. A calibration procedure for an EPC is reviewed, and it is shown that these controversial sensors can provide an accurate measure of average normal stress if calibrated in soil at a given density. In addition, a soil-structure interaction model is proposed to explain why soil calibration is necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Existing methods for perchlorate remediation are hampered by the common co-occurrence of nitrate, which is structurally similar and a preferred electron acceptor. In this work, the potential for perchlorate removal using cell-free bacterial enzymes as biocatalysts was investigated using crude cell lysates and soluble protein fractions of Azospira oryzae PS, as well as soluble protein fractions encapsulated in lipid and polymer vesicles. The crude lysates showed activities between 41 700 to 54 400 U L-1 (2.49 to 3.06 U mg-1 total protein). Soluble protein fractions had activities of 15 400 to 29 900 U L-1 (1.70 to 1.97 U mg-1) and still retained an average of 58.2% of their original activity after 23 days of storage at 4 °C under aerobic conditions. Perchlorate was removed by the soluble protein fraction at higher rates than nitrate. Importantly, perchlorate reduction occurred even in the presence of 500-fold excess nitrate. The soluble protein fraction retained its function after encapsulation in lipid or polymer vesicles, with activities of 13.8 to 70.7 U L-1, in agreement with theoretical calculations accounting for the volume limitation of the vesicles. Further, encapsulation mitigated enzyme inactivation by proteinase K. Enzyme-based technologies could prove effective at perchlorate removal from water cocontaminated with nitrate or sulfate.

AB - Abstract: LiDAR (light detection and ranging) data can be used to create fine digital elevation and bathymetric models (DEMs). Here we examine natural coastal erosion in Grand Traverse Bay, Michigan, a part of Keweenaw Bay in Lake Superior, and discuss how a variety of geological features (submersed river bed and channels associated with the Houghton Low; Nipissing dunes) interact with long-term sediment accumulation patterns. The geological features also modify migrating tailings from a legacy mining site. The combination of LiDAR derived images and aerial photographs allowed us to reconstruct the historical movement of tailings along the coastline. A total of 22.8million metric tonnes (Mt) of stamp sand were discharged into the coastal environment off Gay, MI. Over a span of 80years, beaches to the southwest of Gay have progressively received 7.0Mt (30.7%) of the mass eroded from the original pile, whereas 11.1Mt (48.7%) have moved into the bay. The total amount accumulated along the beaches now greatly exceeds the mass remaining on the original tailings pile (3.7Mt; 16.2%). Bathymetric differences between two LiDAR surveys (2008 and 2010) were also used to estimate the mass, and to track the movement of migrating underwater stamp sand bars. These bars are moving southwesterly towards Buffalo Reef, creating a threat to the lake trout and lake whitefish breeding ground. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Clustering of large surficial particles affect the critical shear stress, bedload transport rate, and ecological processes of gravel rivers. Particle clusters have been the subject of careful study and taxonomy but would benefit from new quantitative, reproducible, statistical analysis, particularly in the gravel size classes where clusters are difficult to reliably resolve by visual, gestalt methods. This study quantified a clustering length scale for a gravel and cobble bed. The size, orientation, and location of 7726 gravel and cobble particles were measured from 100 photographic samples of a symmetrical bar on the Navarro River, California. Nearest neighbor spatial statistics were used to analyze particle associations. Clustering was identified between gravel particles throughout the river bar. Clustering was also identified for large (>d 84 of the sample) and medium (between the d 50 and d 84 of the sample) particles relative to the local gradation. The spatial scale of these large and medium particle clusters were 1.75d 84 and 3.0d 50, respectively. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Stream piracy substantially affected the geomorphic evolution of the Missouri River watershed and drainages within, including the Little Missouri, Cheyenne, Belle Fourche, Bad, and White Rivers. The ancestral Cheyenne River eroded headward in an annular pattern around the eastern and southern Black Hills and pirated the headwaters of the ancestral Bad and White Rivers after ~660ka. The headwaters of the ancestral Little Missouri River were pirated by the ancestral Belle Fourche River, a tributary to the Cheyenne River that currently drains much of the northern Black Hills. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating techniques were used to estimate the timing of this piracy event at ~22–21ka. The geomorphic evolution of the Cheyenne and Belle Fourche Rivers is also expressed by regionally recognized strath terraces that include (from oldest to youngest) the Sturgis, Bear Butte, and Farmingdale terraces. Radiocarbon and OSL dates from fluvial deposits on these terraces indicate incision to the level of the Bear Butte terrace by ~63ka, incision to the level of the Farmingdale terrace at ~40ka, and incision to the level of the modern channel after ~12–9ka. Similar dates of terrace incision have been reported for the Laramie and Wind River Ranges. Hypothesized causes of incision are the onset of colder climate during the middle Wisconsinan and the transition to the full-glacial climate of the late-Wisconsinan/Pinedale glaciation. Incision during the Holocene of the lower Cheyenne River is as much as ~80m and is 3 to 4 times the magnitude of incision at ~63ka and ~40ka. The magnitude of incision during the Holocene might be due to a combined effect of three geomorphic processes acting in concert: glacial isostatic rebound in lower reaches (~40m), a change from glacial to interglacial climate, and adjustments to increased watershed area resulting from piracy of the ancestral headwaters of the Little Missouri River.

AB - Hydrologie connectivity is critical to the structure, function, and dynamic process of river ecosystems. Dams, road crossings, and water diversions impact connectivity by altering flow regimes, behavioral cues, local geomorphology, and nutrient cycling. This longitudinal fragmentation of river ecosystems also increases genetic and reproductive isolation of aquatic biota such as migratory fishes. The cumulative effects on fish passage of many structures along a river are often substantial, even when individual barriers have negligible impact. Habitat connectivity can be improved through dam removal or other means of fish passage improvement (e.g., ladders, bypasses, culvert improvement). Environmental managers require techniques for comparing alternative fish passage restoration actions at alternative or multiple locations. Herein, we examined a graph-theoretic algorithm for assessing upstream habitat connectivity to investigate both basic and applied fish passage connectivity problems. First, we used hypothetical watershed configurations to assess general alterations to upstream fish passage connectivity with changes in watershed network topology (e.g., linear vs. highly dendritic) and the quantity, location, and passability of each barrier. Our hypothetical network modeling indicates that locations of dams with limited passage efficiency near the watershed outlet create a strong fragmentation signal but are not individually sufficient to disconnect the system. Furthermore, there exists a threshold in the number of dams beyond which connectivity declines precipitously, regardless of watershed topology and dam configuration. Watersheds with highly branched configurations are shown to be less susceptible to disconnection as measured by this metric. Second, we applied the model to prioritize barrier improvement in the mainstem of the Truckee River, Nevada, USA. The Truckee River application demonstrates the ability of the algorithm to address conditions common in fish passage projects including incomplete data, parameter uncertainty, and rapid application. This study demonstrates the utility of a graph-theoretic approach for assessing fish passage connectivity in dendritic river networks assuming full basin utilization for a given species, guild, or community of concern.

AB - In this study we collected information on abundance, age structure, migration, and exploitation to characterize the population demographics and reproductive characteristics of a historically anadromous Columbia River Redband TroutOncorhynchus mykiss gairdneripopulation now isolated in a southwestern Idaho reservoir and limited to resident and adfluvial life histories. We estimated there were 3,905 adfluvial individuals in Mann Creek Reservoir in October 2008 based on a mark–recapture population estimate. The adfluvial population sex ratio of 2.78 females per male captured at a weir, peak spawn timing near the peak of the hydrograph (late April), age at spawning (4–6 years), and growth patterns (slow growth in the stream followed by rapid growth in the reservoir) were all characteristic of an anadromous population. Resident fish abundance was not estimated, but the fish were characterized by relatively slow growth, earlier sexual maturity, and a reverse sex ratio (0.23 females per male) compared with the adfluvial fish. The two life histories (resident and adfluvial) and their differential use by the sexes are consistent with life history theory, which suggests female salmonids maximize fitness by increasing body size and fecundity while males attempt to maximize survival at the expense of growth. The migratory fish in this drainage that could have historically exercised an anadromous life history appear to be exercising the next-best option, an adfluvial life history, which has relatively similar costs and benefits to the anadromous form as distinct from the stream-resident form. Future studies should evaluate other similar native populations isolated in reservoir systems because these populations could play a role in recovery of endangered steelhead (anadromous Rainbow Trout) populations in the western USA.

AB - Abstract: Current research has shown that reductions in nonpoint nutrient loading are needed to reduce the incidence of harmful algal blooms and hypoxia in the western and central basins of Lake Erie. We used the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to test various sediment and nutrient load reduction strategies, including agricultural best management practice (BMP) implementation and source reduction in various combinations for six watersheds. These watersheds, in order of decreasing phosphorus loads, include the Maumee, Sandusky, Cuyahoga, Raisin, Grand, and Huron, and together comprise 53% of the binational Lake Erie Basin area. Hypothetical pristine nutrient yields, after eliminating all anthropogenic influences, were estimated to be an order of magnitude lower than current yields, underscoring the need for stronger management actions. However, cover crops, filter strips, and no-till BMPs, when implemented at levels considered feasible, were minimally effective, reducing sediment and nutrient yields by only 0–11% relative to current values. Sediment yield reduction was greater than nutrient yield reduction, and the greatest reduction was found when all three BMPs were implemented simultaneously. When BMPs were targeted at specific locations rather than at random, greater reduction in nutrient yields was achieved with BMPs placed in high source locations, whereas reduction in sediment yields was greatest when BMPs were located near the river outlet. Modest nutrient source reduction also was minimally effective in reducing yields. Our model results indicate that an “all-of-above” strategy is needed to substantially reduce nutrient yields and that BMPs should be much more widely implemented. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: A study of changes in hydro-climatology of the Great Lakes was performed incorporating the nonparametric Mann–Kendall trend detection test and a recently developed Bayesian multiple change point detection model. The Component Net Basin Supply (C-NBS) and its components (runoff, precipitation, evaporation) as well as water levels of Great Lakes were analyzed for gradual (i.e. trend type) and abrupt (i.e. shift type) nonstationary behaviors at seasonal and annual scales. It was found that the C-NBS experienced significant upward trends only in the lower Great Lakes (Erie, Ontario) during the summer portion of the year. At an annual scale upward trends were observed only in Lake Ontario. Change point analysis suggested an upward shift in Great Lakes C-NBS in the late 1960s and early 1970s. A combination of gradual and abrupt change analysis of Great Lakes water levels indicated a common upward shift along with a change in trend direction around the early 1970s. It was also found that precipitation and runoff are on a plateau and in some cases on a decreasing course following an increasing trend in the early twentieth century. Results obtained from this study show that the hydro-climatology of Great Lakes is characterized by nonstationary behavior. Changes in this behavior have caused the Great Lakes water levels to decrease during the last few decades. This study provides valuable insights into the nature of the nonstationary behavior of hydro-climatic variables of Great Lakes and contributes useful information to the future water management planning.

AB - This case study considers the applicability of collaborative governance to natural resource management challenges in China, particularly when compared with its use in the United States (US). The specific case in point centers on a June 2012 workshop in Beijing co-organized by the China Environmental Law Project of the Beijing Representative Office of the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Beijing Zhonglin Union Forestry Consulting Company, Ltd. The case study is based on participant observation, literature review, and policy analysis. The critical distinction between the applicability of collaborative governance in China and in the US relates to the incentives to collaborate, which differ in China and in the US. The authors suggest eight possible next steps encompassing research, practice, and education.Environmental Practice 15:228–239 (2013) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The fish were collected during a sudden rise in water level. The floodplain-dwelling cicada were likely washed out of their terrestrial habitat and into the river, where opportunistic sturgeon were foraging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Computers have been available to teach and do mathematics for decades. There have been spikes of interest, energy, and results in their use over the years. However, there is little sustained use of computers as they could be used to permit students to learn and do mathematics. To be effective computers need to be embedded in the learning process. They need to be ubiquitous and part of every student's learning kit. Indeed, they should be a first tool of choice for most of what students do with mathematics; that is, plotting, algebraic manipulation, optimization, playing “what if” games, data analysis, etc. I outline a number of scenarios and experiences to show just how pervasive computer use can and should be. I put computer use in context with its most important applications for teaching mathematics—namely, modeling and inquiry or problem-based learning. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - PURPOSE: Musicians have been reported as having a high prevalence of upper-extremity musculoskeletal disorders, including carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of median and ulnar neuropathies in U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Band members at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. METHODS: Thirty-five MEDCOM Band members (30 males, 5 females) volunteered to participate. There were 33 right-handed musicians, and the mean length of time in the MEDCOM Band was 12.2 yrs (range, 1-30 yrs). Subjects completed a history form, were interviewed, and underwent a physical examination of the cervical spine and bilateral upper extremities. Nerve conduction studies of the bilateral median and ulnar nerves were performed. Electrophysiological variables served as the reference standard for median and ulnar neuropathy and included distal sensory latencies, distal motor latencies, amplitudes, conduction velocities, and comparison study latencies. RESULTS: Ten of the 35 subjects (29%) presented with abnormal electrophysiologic values suggestive of an upper extremity mononeuropathy. Nine of the subjects had abnormal median nerve electrophysiologic values at or distal to the wrist; 2 had bilateral abnormal values. One had an abnormal ulnar nerve electrophysiologic assessment at the elbow. Nine of these 10 subjects had clinical examination findings consistent with the electrophysiological findings. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of mononeuropathies in this sample of band members is similar to that found in previous research involving civilian musicians (20-36%) and far exceeds that reported in the general population. Prospective research investigating screening, examination items, and injury prevention measures in musicians appears to be warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - While commonly used ground impedance deduction methods often utilize pairs of vertically separated microphones, deployed arrays rarely have this configuration, which increases the difficulty in automatically deducing local ground impedance from these arrays. The ability to deduce ground impedance using random sounds incident on a three-dimensional array would increase, for example, the accuracy of estimated elevation angles. The methods described by the American National Standards Institute Method for Determining the Acoustic Impedance of Ground Surfaces are extended to simulate deducing ground impedance by a three-dimensional array. Ground parameters indicative of grassland are successfully determined using a simulated three-dimensional array. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The electromagnetic scattering responses of nonlinearly loaded antenna structures excited by single-tone or multi-tone incident fields are considered in the frequency domain by employing a combination of the method-of-moments and a harmonic balance technique. Subsequently, standoff detection and localization of the scatterers in the presence of a half space is demonstrated with a subspace imaging procedure by exploiting the steady-state, multistatic harmonic scattering responses collected over an aspect-limited aperture. The attenuation rates of the harmonic scattered fields as a function of sensing range are investigated. The Green's function vector in the imaging functional is derived efficiently with the application of second-order-accurate asymptotic propagation techniques, and near-field imaging performance for single and multiple targets is also examined in the presence of noise and linear clutter. This study is intended to provide an analysis and simulation framework needed to facilitate the development of a complementary nonlinear detection capability for an existing near-ground, forward-looking linear imaging radar system.

AB - Abstract: The actions of organizational leaders are important determinants of the emergence, management, and consequences of employee emotional experience. However, the nature and dimensionality of leader emotion management and the behaviors that constitute such management are largely unknown. The authors present a comprehensive, theoretically-derived model of leader emotion management which clarifies the nature of emotion management and its role in leadership. This model also delineates the knowledge and skill-based antecedents of emotion management and the consequences of such management. Specifically, we propose linkages between particular KSAOs and specific emotion management dimensions and between those dimensions and particular individual and organizational outcomes. The model is meant to serve as a framework to guide empirical efforts in investigating the nature and correlates of leader emotion management. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Many of the prevailing approaches to understanding leadership assume that leadership operates as an individual-level phenomenon, in which one person takes on the role of a leader. However, a number of recently developed leadership models now describe leadership as a shared process. These collectivistic theories present leadership as a dynamic process in which a leader may selectively utilize the skills of followers and distribute elements of the leadership role among these followers as the situation demands. In this study, we conduct an investigation into the viability of core elements of the collectivistic theories through a historiometric analysis of events from the career of a notable leader, George C. Marshall. One hundred and two events from Marshall's career were identified from historical biographies and were then content coded and analyzed with regard to the components of a collectivistic leadership model. The results of this historiometric analysis indicated that there are key antecedents to collectivistic leadership and that the use of this form of leadership can result in positive team outcomes.

AB - Sparsity-based unmixing algorithms, exploiting the sparseness property of the abundances, have recently been proposed with promising performances. However, these algorithms are developed for the linear mixture model (LMM), which cannot effectively handle the nonlinear effects. In this paper, we extend the current sparse regression methods for the LMM to bilinear mixture models (BMMs), where the BMMs introduce additional bilinear terms in the LMM in order to model second-order photon scattering effects. To solve the abundance estimation problem for the BMMs, we propose to perform a sparsity-based abundance estimation by using two dictionaries: a linear dictionary containing all the pure endmembers and a bilinear dictionary consisting of all the possible second-order endmember interaction components. Then, the abundance values can be estimated from the sparse codes associated with the linear dictionary. Moreover, to exploit the spatial data structure where the adjacent pixels are usually homogeneous and are often mixtures of the same materials, we first employ the joint-sparsity (row-sparsity) model to enforce structured sparsity on the abundance coefficients. However, the joint-sparsity model is often a strict assumption, which might cause some aliasing artifacts for the pixels that lie on the boundaries of different materials. To deal with this problem, the low-rank-representation model, which seeks the lowest rank representation of the data, is further introduced to better capture the spatial data structure. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms provide much enhanced performance compared with state-of-the-art algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Traditional hyperspectral imaging sensors acquire high-dimensional data that are used for the discrimination of objects and features in a scene. Recently, a novel architecture known as the coded-aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) system has been developed for the acquisition of compressive spectral image data with just a few coded focal plane array measurements. This paper focuses on developing a classification approach with hyperspectral images directly from CASSI compressive measurements, without first reconstructing the full data cube. The proposed classification method uses the compressive measurements to find the sparse vector representation of the test pixel in a given training dictionary. The estimated sparse vector is obtained by solving a sparsity-constrained optimization problem and is then used to directly determine the class of the unknown pixel. The performance of the proposed classifier is improved by taking optimal CASSI compressive measurements obtained when optimal coded apertures are used in the optical system. The set of optimal coded apertures is designed such that the CASSI sensing matrix satisfies a restricted isometry property with high probability. Several simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed classifier using optimal coded apertures and the gain in the classification accuracy obtained over using traditional aperture codes in CASSI.

AB - The purpose of this article was to determine proximal and distal antecedents of leadership in the U.S. Army's Officer Candidate School (OCS). A model composed of motivation to lead, leadership self-efficacy, implicit leadership, organizational commitment, general cognitive ability, and personality was proposed. Results from a longitudinal examination of 1,232 officer candidates suggest partial support for the model, and limited evidence for enlisted experience as a moderator. Candidate personality (partially mediated by interest in leadership and leadership self-efficacy) best predicted leadership performance during OCS and peer ratings of leadership potential. Implications for OCS selection and models of leadership performance are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) is the largest commissioning source for the U.S. Army. Although some ROTC cadets receive no scholarship assistance, other cadets receive 2-, 3-, or 4-year ROTC scholarships in exchange for incurring a military service obligation after college graduation. The Army is particularly interested in awarding 4-year scholarships to individuals who are likely to excel in ROTC and become Army leaders. This research examined how well measures of temperament, work values, and leadership knowledge predicted the performance 4-year scholarship winners in various phases of ROTC, including their ranking on a national Order of Merit Listing in their senior year of college. Measures of temperament, work values, and leader knowledge strongly predicted each of the ROTC performance metrics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This research identified competencies required to command a brigade. Interviews and surveys of military personnel provided a multisource perspective of brigade command competencies, including the proficiency level needed for each competency. Thirty-nine competencies were identified and categorized into 4 training-oriented clusters: leadership skills, operational skills, personal capabilities, and knowledge base. Participants reported their preferred methods to develop the competencies within each cluster. The competencies can be used to assess training effectiveness and to identify potential training gaps. Additionally, the model has utility outside of the military, as it describes a framework for leaders who must bridge the gap between organizational and strategic leadership. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The U.S. Army faces complex challenges in building and sustaining its officer force. It needs to identify and develop individuals who can adapt to many different mission types and to the various environments in which the Army operates, develop the strategic and tactical leadership skills necessary to perform effectively in higher ranks, and embrace the Army's warrior ethos. To create a performance-based foundation for accessing, assigning, training, and retaining officers, we conducted a job analysis study. Using Army doctrine, protocol, training manuals, and input from a number of Army officers, we identified 46 leader and management major duties that officers must perform with a high level of competence. The list is intended to be relevant for all Army officer positions and levels up to lieutenant colonel, though the relative importance of and time spent on specific duties varies by level, position, branch, and mission. We also identified 55 stable individual difference attributes and attitudes that underlie the determinants of officer performance and retention. We framed our study according to 2 models of job performance, 1 specifying the determinants of job performance and the other specifying the major components of job performance. The integrated models provide a theoretical basis for designing personnel systems or interventions to impact specific components of officer performance and for predicting their likely outcomes.

AB - The commercial availability of silicon-carbide (SiC) power devices began over a decade ago with the introduction of SiC diodes and has expanded in complexity the past few years to include the offering of SiC transistors and power modules. Recently, characterization of a 1200-V, 800-A all-SiC dual module designed for large-scale electric military vehicle applications has been reported. This paper expands on the previous work by presenting details and results obtained from a long-term evaluation of a similar module. The module has successfully operated in an experimental circuit at a switching frequency of 10 kHz while running vehicle load profiles for over 1000 h and exhibited little change in device characteristics. Of all measured characteristics, none had a significant unfavorable change greater than 10% from its initial value. The 1000 h of circuit operation represents 11 783 miles of use or over half of the expected lifecycle in a military vehicle traction inverter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Many law enforcement agencies have established protective intelligence units that conduct threat assessments, but they often rely on standard criminal investigation approaches rather than the collection and analysis methods typically used by intelligence agencies. This article reviews a basic model of the intelligence cycle and discusses concepts that are particularly relevant to the field of threat assessment, and how it can enhance the assessment and threat management process and guide the allocation of limited resources. The estimate of analytic confidence, based on specific criteria regarding the quality and quantity of information that conclusions are derived from, is especially useful, and provides a more meaningful expression of uncertainty than the “reasonable degree of psychological certainty” often seen with forensic opinions. This approach allows for separate expressions of analytic confidence and the concern for the threat of targeted violence. A proposed matrix based on these separate estimates provides a model for guiding investigative efforts and intervention strategies, as well as the allocation of manpower and other resources. This model may further facilitate much needed research in threat management practices and associated outcomes. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved). (journal abstract)

N2 - Background: U.S. Army Soldiers must meet body weight and composition standards and consequently may use nutritional supplements (NS) purported to assist in weight modification (WM). Nutritional supplements are dietary supplements (DS) and foods intended to supplement the diet. Purpose: This study assessed relationships between NS use, demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, and WM goals among U.S. Army personnel. Methods: Participants (N = 990) self-reported NS use, categorized as energy drinks, sport nutrition products, or DS, and WM goal (lose, gain, or maintain) was ascertained by survey. DS were subcategorized as health, weight-loss, weight-gain, or other DS. Chi-square and logistic regression were used to assess relationships between predictors, NS use, and WM goal. Most respondents (70.3% ± 1.7%) consumed some NS; however, overall NS use was not related to WM goal. Significant relationships were observed between predictors (tobacco use, age, body-mass index, fitness score, general health, and eating habits) and both WM goal and NS use. Respondents attempting to lose or maintain weight were less likely to consume energy drinks and weight-gain DS. Conclusion: WM goal is related to multiple health behaviors including tobacco use, physical fitness score, and self-perception of health and eating behavior. NS are consumed in this population regardless of WM goal. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - Context Software Requirement Specifications (SRSs) are central to software lifecycles. An SRS defines the functionalities and constraints of a desired software system, hence it often serves as reference for further development. Software lifecycles concerned with the conversion of traditional systems into more service-oriented infrastructures can benefit from understanding potential shared capabilities through the analysis of SRSs. Objective In this paper, we propose an automated approach capable of recommending shared software services from multiple text-based SRSs created by different organizations. Our goal is to facilitate the identification of overlapping requirements in these specifications and subsequently recommend shared components, which promotes software reuse. The shared components can be implemented as services that are invoked across different systems. Method Our approach leverages the syntactic similarity of the SRS text augmented with semantic information derived from the WordNet database. This work extends our earlier studies by introducing an algorithm that utilizes noun, verb, and predicate relations to enhance the discovery of equivalent requirements and the recommendation of reusable services. A prototype system is implemented to evaluate the approach and experimental results have shown effective recommendation of requirements and their realized shared services. Results Our automatic recommendation approach generates recommendations in few minutes compared to 9 h when services are manually inspected by developers. Our approach is also able to recommend services that are overlooked by the same developers, and to identify similarity between requirements even if these requirements are reworded. Conclusion We show through experimentation that we can efficiently recommend services by leveraging both the syntactical structure and the semantic information of a requirements document and that our approach is more effective than the manual selection of services by experts. We also show that our approach is effective in detecting similar requirements for a single system and hence discovering opportunities for software reuse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Human observers are often relied upon for monitoring suspicious crowd behavior in both civilian and military contexts. However, little research has examined what individual- and crowd-level variables independently and interactively modulate threat perception among human observers. Five experiments gathered threat estimates while participants viewed static or dynamic crowd simulations. Experiments 1 and 2 used static crowd stimuli and manipulated crowd size (number of entities), crowd density (distance between entities), and historical information about adverse events. Experiments 3-5 used moving crowd stimuli and either fixed (Experiment 3) or dynamic (Experiment 4-5) crowd size and density. Experiments 4 and 5 further examined several individual- and crowd-level parameters subjectively reported by observers as critical to generating risk estimates. Overall, results demonstrated that human observers rely heavily on both crowd size and density cues, but also consider several other cues, such as perceived individual isolation and grouping behavior, when estimating risk levels within a crowd. We also show that reliance on such parameters is highly variable across participants in terms of both directionality and magnitude. Results are discussed within the context of continuing sensor system and modeling efforts, and understanding how threat perception emerges from the observation of intentional agents.

AB - Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is used as pigment in a wide variety of domestic and industrial applications, and is becoming an increasingly valuable nanomaterial. TiO 2 is manufactured by the traditional sulfate process or high temperature chloride process. Several hydrometallurgical processes for manufacturing TiO 2 have recently emerged to reduce the environmental impact of TiO 2 production. A new process is reported that features alkaline roasting of titania slag (ARTS), with subsequent washing, leaching, solvent extraction, hydrolysis, and calcination stages, and implements the recycling and regeneration of alkaline and acid process streams to minimize waste generation. A virtual ARTS processing plant is described in detail and is used to conduct an LCA comparison with the sulfate, chloride, and Altairnano processes. The cumulative energy demand (CED) and total CO 2 emissions for the ARTS process are 92.6 MJ/kg TiO 2 and 7.47 kg CO 2 /kg TiO 2 , respectively, which compares favorably with the traditional and Altairnano processes.

AB - This article introduces concepts and surveys recent results on recurrence and transience of general quantum Markov semigroups (QMS) of bounded linear maps acting on aC*- or von Neumann algebra. In particular, the concept of potentials for classical Markov semigroups/processes is extended to its noncommutative counterpart. The characterization of recurrent and transient quantum Markov semigroups and classification of irreducible quantum Markov semigroups are established in terms of the potential of some subharmonic projection for the QMS. This introductory and survey work can be treated as a continuation of the closely related paper by Chang [12], which dealt with the invariance, mean ergodicity and ergodicity of QMS. Since it is intended as an introduction to large time asymptotic behavior of quantum Markov semigroups, this article is made self-contained by reviewing relevant concepts and results in quantum probability space, quantum states, and quantum Markov semigroups that are necessary for the subsequent developments and readability for nonexperts in this research areas.

AB - Structural capacitors are manufactured from glass fabric/epoxy prepreg dielectrics and metalized polymer film electrodes. The electrical breakdown strengths of these multifunctional materials are investigated across a wide range of electrode constructions and processing parameters. The results show that electrode selection and materials processing have a significant impact on the energy that the device can store. Also, this careful consideration of processing parameters and electrode construction has led to the development of a structural capacitor with an energy density exceeding 0.90 J/cm 3 , the highest yet reported.

AB - BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Dry needling (DN) is an increasingly popular intervention used by clinicians as a treatment of regional neuromusculoskeletal pain. DN is an invasive procedure that involves insertion of a thin monofilament needle directly into a muscle trigger point (MTP) with the intent of stimulating a local twitch response. Current evidence is somewhat limited, but recent literature supports the use of this intervention in specific neuromusculoskeletal conditions. The purpose of this case report is to present the outcomes of DN as a primary treatment intervention in an adolescent subject with subacute posterior knee pain. CASE DESCRIPTION: The subject was a 16-year-old female competitive ballet dancer referred to physical therapy with a two month history of right posterior knee pain. Palpation identified MTPs which reproduced the patient's primary symptoms. In addition to an exercise program promoting lower extremity flexibility and hip stability, the subject was treated with DN to the right gastrocnemius, soleus, and popliteus muscles. OUTCOMES: The subject reported being pain free on the Numerical Pain Scale and a +7 improvement in perceived change in recovery on the Global Rating of Change at final follow-up. Physical examination demonstrated no observed impairments or functional limitations, including normal mobility, full strength, and unrestricted execution of dance maneuvers. DISCUSSION: The patient was able to return to high level dance training and competition without physical limitations and resumed pre-injury dynamic movement activities including dancing, running, jumping, and pivoting without pain. DN can be an effective and efficient intervention to assist patients in decreasing pain and returning to high intensity physical activity. Additional research is needed to determine if DN is effective for other body regions and has long-term positive outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4.

AB - The article focuses on the hybridization of war, a recent trend in warfare being addressed by countries in their military doctrines. The term is used to describe modern conflicts, which are neither purely asymmetric nor purely conventional, but hybrids that display traits from both forms of warfare. The failure of international law, particularly the Law of Armed Conflict, to evolve with the hybridization of war is discussed. It notes that the law has proven incapable of satisfactorily resolving the myriad of legal issues arising from modern warfare.

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

AB - We review the evidence and impact of relocation on outcomes in child development in civilian and military families, both those who relocate regularly and those who do not. Research with broad samples of families and conventional wisdom suggests that frequent relocation leads to negative outcomes in children. However, this observation is not consistently observed for military families or for some civilian families who regularly relocate. The reasons for these differences are not clear, but maternal attitude and parent–child interactions have been suggested as a possible moderator of relocation resilience. Nevertheless, the exact mechanisms or approach for promoting relocation resilience is not clear in the evidence base. Through an analysis of the limited available data, we propose that effectively promoting relocation resilience may involve three primary approaches and related psychological processes: (i) managing the perception of risk (based on prospect theory), (ii) emotional framing, and (iii) priming. These processes are reviewed and presented for further consideration in future research on promoting relocation resilience. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)

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

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

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

AB - Researchers suggest links between mind-wandering and impaired processing of external task stimuli: mind-wandering results in perceptual decoupling. The primary methodology employed to investigate the effects of mind-wandering requires people to report their conscious state and then predicts prior behavior or neurophysiological responses using the person’s self-report. Unfortunately, this method employs reports that occur after the behavior occurs. An alternative methodology employs a word displayed prior to a performance check or catch trial. After the catch trial, participants then report their awareness of the word occurring, attempt to recognize the word, and also report whether they were on- or off-task. We show that participants’ explicit and implicit awareness of the pre-catch trial word is independent of self-reports of conscious state. This finding conflicts with the perspective that mind-wandering reports indicate perceptual decoupling. Reports of mind-wandering may alternatively be how people explain behavioral outcomes.

AB - Emotion measurement has received increasing attention as reflected in the growing number of methods for measuring emotions in a product development context, including questionnaires. One such emotion profile, the EsSense Profile® (King & Meiselman, 2010) contains 39 emotions and has had increased use in product research. One of the practical challenges to its wider adoption is the length of the profile. We present results from 4 sets of studies designed to evaluate the semantic structure of the EsSense Profile®, to develop a shorter version of it, and to validate the shorter version, both conceptually and practically. A sorting methodology was used to sort the 39 EsSense Profile® emotions (printed on cards) into groups based on a similarity criterion, using two subject populations (n = 121). A unique modification was implemented where subjects indicated from each sorted pile which word in that pile best described the sorted group. Hierarchical clustering was used to highlight the structure, and candidate words for removal were chosen, reducing the list to 25 words. Using both the EsSense Profile® and EsSense25 lists, a validation sorting study was performed (n = 87). Confirmation studies conducted online (n = 1728) and in CLTs (n = 306) used the questionnaires in real-world scenarios, including food-name evaluations, brand evaluations and product tasting. Overall both lists performed similarly, but analyses revealed that there may be important context effects in which the meaning of words may change across product categories and across emotion lists. We finish with a discussion of why this might be and what this means to the sensory practitioner. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

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

AB - Sketch maps are effective tools for assessing spatial memory. However, despite their widespread use in cognitive science research, sketch map analysis techniques remain unstandardized and carry limitations. In the present article, we present the Gardony Map Drawing Analyzer (GMDA), an open-source software package for sketch map analysis. GMDA combines novel and established analysis techniques into a graphical user interface that permits rapid computational sketch map analysis. GMDA calculates GMDA-unique measures based on pairwise comparisons between landmarks, as well as bidimensional regression parameters (Friedman & Kohler, 2003), which together reflect sketch map quality at two levels: configural and individual landmark. The configural measures assess the overall landmark configuration and provide a whole-map analysis. Individual landmark measures, introduced in GMDA, assess individual landmark placement and indicate how individual landmarks contribute to the configural scores. Together, these measures provide a more complete psychometric picture of sketch map analysis, allowing for comparisons between sketch maps and between landmarks. The calculated measures reflect specific and cognitively relevant aspects of interlandmark spatial relationships, including distance and angular representation. GMDA supports complex environments (up to 48 landmarks) and two software modes that capture aspects of maps not addressed by existing techniques, such as landmark size and shape variation and interlandmark containment relationships. We describe the software and its operation and present a formal specification of calculation procedures for its unique measures. We then validate the software by demonstrating the capabilities and reliability of its measures using simulation and experimental data. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - In this study we explored the potential for capturing the behavioral dynamics observed in real-world tasks from concurrent measures of EEG. In doing so, we sought to develop models of behavior that would enable the identification of common cross-participant and cross-task EEG features. To accomplish this we had participants perform both simulated driving and guard duty tasks while we recorded their EEG. For each participant we developed models to estimate their behavioral performance during both tasks. Sequential forward floating selection was used to identify the montage of independent components for each model. Linear regression was then used on the combined power spectra from these independent components to generate a continuous estimate of behavior. Our results show that oscillatory processes, evidenced in EEG, can be used to successfully capture slow fluctuations in behavior in complex, multi-faceted tasks. The average correlation coefficients between the actual and estimated behavior was 0.548 ± 0.117 and 0.701 ± 0.154 for the driving and guard duty tasks respectively. Interestingly, through a simple clustering approach we were able to identify a number of common components, both neural and eye-movement related, across participants and tasks. We used these component clusters to quantify the relative influence of common versus participant-specific features in the models of behavior. These findings illustrate the potential for estimating complex behavioral dynamics from concurrent measures from EEG using a finite library of universal features.

AB - Head computed tomography (CT) imaging is still a commonly obtained diagnostic test for patients with minor head injury despite availability of clinical decision rules to guide imaging use and recommendations to reduce radiation exposure resulting from unnecessary imaging. This prospective multicenter observational study of 251 patients with suspected mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) evaluated three serum biomarkers' (glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP], ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 [UCH-L1] and S100B measured within 6 h of injury) ability to differentiate CT negative and CT positive findings. Of the 251 patients, 60.2% were male and 225 (89.6%) had a presenting Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15. A positive head CT (intracranial injury) was found in 36 (14.3%). UCH-L1 was 100% sensitive and 39% specific at a cutoff value > 40 pg/mL. To retain 100% sensitivity, GFAP was 0% specific (cutoff value 0 pg/mL) and S100B had a specificity of only 2% (cutoff value 30 pg/mL). All three biomarkers had similar values for areas under the receiver operator characteristic curve: 0.79 (95% confidence interval; 0.70–0.88) for GFAP, 0.80 (0.71–0.89) for UCH-L1, and 0.75 (0.65–0.85) for S100B. Neither GFAP nor UCH-L1 curve values differed significantly from S100B (p = 0.21 and p = 0.77, respectively). In our patient cohort, UCH-L1 outperformed GFAP and S100B when the goal was to reduce CT use without sacrificing sensitivity. UCH-L1 values < 40 pg/mL could potentially have aided in eliminating 83 of the 215 negative CT scans. These results require replication in other studies before the test is used in actual clinical practice. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - Compared with randomized trials, community-based interventions are delivered by a wider variety of professionals with varied training backgrounds. When evidence-based programs are scaled into larger formats and disseminated to a wider audience, little is understood about how clients experience these interventions. To understand the experience of clients after meetings with nutrition, exercise, and health behavior professionals, researchers surveyed participants after 6 months in a weight management program. A total of 958 participants were recruited in monthly cohorts beginning September 2011 to complete a program evaluation survey. Qualitative inductive analysis was completed on several open-text items querying respondents as to what they found helpful from meetings with a registered dietitian, personal trainer, and health behavior counselor. Results indicate participants benefitted from gaining knowledge, learning new behavioral skills, or from interpersonal interactions. Findings suggest that the various professional services are valued by clients and that professionals appear to stay within their scope of practice. Implications for those working in weight management are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - Mentalization work would have been impossible without the inception of social cognition as a serious field of study in the 1970s and 1980s, which has led to considerable understanding of the processes that people use to perceive, categorize, understand, and respond to other humans. The experimental tradition of social cognition emerged from the synthesis of social psychological questions with the methods and theories of cognitive psychology. This cross-pollination proved especially fruitful, in large part because understanding others is at its heart a quintessentially cognitive ability, which involves the coordination of multiple mental processes. Further knowledge about social cognition has become possible through the use of functional neuroimaging techniques that allow us to view the living brain in action. Here, we surest that mentalizing is a fundamental human mental process at the center of social cognition, necessary for social interaction and sufficient for imbuing any object—animal, mineral, or vegetable—with a mind. We begin by discussing the research introducing mentalizing, and then review empirical evidence that suggests its central role in mental life. In this review, we have described the cognitive construct of mentalizing and discussed its implementation in the brain. Mentalizing is a cognitive process fundamental to our ability to represent others' mental states and to predict their actions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - Fifteen military personnel performed 30-cm drop landings to quantify how body borne load (light, ~6 kg, medium, ~20 kg, and heavy, ~40 kg) impacts lower limb kinematics and knee joint energy absorption during landing, and determine whether greater lower limb flexion increases energy absorption while landing with load. Participants decreased peak hip (P = 0.002), and knee flexion (P = 0.007) posture, but did not increase hip (P = 0.796), knee (P = 0.427) or ankle (P = 0.161) energy absorption, despite exhibiting greater peak hip (P = 0.003) and knee (P = 0.001) flexion, and ankle (P = 0.003) dorsiflexion angular impulse when landing with additional load. Yet, when landing with the light and medium loads, greater hip (R² = 0.500, P = 0.003 and R² = 0.314, P = 0.030) and knee (R² = 0.431, P = 0.008 and R² = 0.342, P = 0.022) flexion posture predicted larger knee joint energy absorption. Thus, military training that promotes hip and knee flexion, and subsequently greater energy absorption during landing, may potentially reduce risk of musculoskeletal injury and optimize soldier performance.

AB - The interpretation of complex DNA profiles is facilitated by a Bayesian approach. This approach requires the development of a pair of propositions: one aligned to the prosecution case and one to the defense case. This note explores the issue of proposition setting in an adversarial environment by a series of examples. A set of guidelines generalize how to formulate propositions when there is a single person of interest and when there are multiple individuals of interest. Additional explanations cover how to handle multiple defense propositions, relatives, and the transition from subsource level to activity level propositions. The propositions depend on case information and the allegations of each of the parties. The prosecution proposition is usually known. The authors suggest that a sensible proposition is selected for the defense that is consistent with their stance, if available, and consistent with a realistic defense if their position is not known.

AB - Can memory be a bad thing? Why is it always taken for granted that states and societies need to remember political tragedies in order to heal? What does 'heal' mean in this respect? In this chapter, we will examine in particular the cases of Argentina and Spain, two societies in which discussions about the legacies of dictatorship, state terror, and grave human rights violations have gained extraordinary importance in contemporary political life. The desaparecidos of the Argentine military juntas (1976—1983) and the victims of Spanish Francoism (1936—1975) appear at the center of fervent discussions in which the processes of political violence, as well as the models of transitional justice that were adopted in its aftermath, are being revisited, questioned, and reinterpreted. The Argentinean and Spanish cases show that notions of trauma and analogies to trauma, human rights advocacy, and memorial production in the arts and literature are intimately entangled. They form the core of what we define as a pervasive 'Never again' metanarrative, which projects criminal pasts unto the future as an avoidance imperative and at the same time renders these pasts insurmountable, haunting, and always present. To highlight this phenomenon and to come to terms with those specific historical cases, we will introduce classic Greek tragedy as method and metaphor for an alternative epistemology in memory studies that restores the political dimension of dealing with the aftermath of mass violence in post-conflict societies, without losing sight of one of the original sites of trauma discourse.

AB - The size and shape of users are an important consideration for many products and environments. Designers and engineers in many disciplines must often accommodate these attributes to meet objectives such as fit and safety. When practitioners have academic training in addressing these issues, it is typically through courses in Human Factors/Ergonomics (HF/E). This paper investigates education related to physical accommodation and offers suggestions for improvement. A survey was conducted wherein 21 instructors at 18 universities in the United States provided syllabi for 29 courses, which were analysed to determine topics related to anthropometry and resources used for the courses. The results show that within the US, anthropometry is covered in the majority of courses discussing physical ergonomics, but important related concepts were often omitted (e.g. digital human modelling, multivariate accommodation and variability across global populations). Curricula could be improved by incorporating more accurate anthropometry, multivariate problems and interactive online tools. Practitioner Summary: This paper describes a study investigating collegiate ergonomics courses within the US in the area of physical accommodation. Course schedules and texts were studied for their treatment of several topics related to accommodating the spatial requirements (anthropometry) of users. Recommendations are made for improving course curricula. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - The article discusses notion of computer hacking and the positive role that computer hackers can play in computing science. The author discusses how computer enthusiasts can create new innovations from outside of the academic or corporate worlds. Many times, computer hackers also alert the computer science industry to vulnerabilities and security flaws that exist within computer software and hardware systems or networks. They also serve to warn against corporate abuse, as was the case with the computer hacker that alerted computing professionals and the media to Sony Corp's "rootkit," which represented a privacy intrusion for computer users.

AB - Videogames are increasingly being used as instructional tools within education, workforce, and military contexts. Yet, additional research is needed to better understand what (and how) videogame-based training design attributes impact trainee performance in this type of training context. Goals/goal-setting and performance feedback represent two such important game design attributes. Goal-setting theory suggests that moderately difficult goals produce modest goal-performance discrepancies, which result in enhanced performance. Yet, goal-performance discrepancies are not universally beneficial. This study investigates the performance consequences of trainees setting an unrealistically difficult goal early in videogame-based training, and the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Data from 387 trainees completing a videogame-based training program demonstrated that an initial unrealistic goal, and subsequently a large goal-performance discrepancy, negatively impacts subsequent training performance. Self-regulation was examined as a mediator of this relationship; yet, was not supported, as goal-performance discrepancy failed to predict self-regulation. However, goal-performance discrepancy and videogame self-efficacy were found to interact in predicting trainees’ self-regulation, suggesting more complex underlying mechanisms. This study also demonstrated that providing trainees with simple goal-setting advisement can facilitate realistic goal-setting. These findings highlight the important role of realistic goal-setting in enhancing videogame-based training effectiveness. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The molecular mechanisms explaining hormetic effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and 4-nonylphenol in Daphnia magna reproduction were studied in juveniles and adults. Transcriptome analyses showed changes in mRNA levels for 1796 genes in juveniles and 1214 genes in adults (out of 15?000 total probes) exposed to two SSRIs (fluoxetine and fluvoxamine) or to 4-nonylphenol. Functional annotation of affected genes was improved by assuming the annotations of putatively homologous Drosophila genes. Self-organizing map analysis and partial least-square regression coupled with selectivity ratio procedures analyses allowed to define groups of genes with specific responses to the different treatments. Differentially expressed genes were analyzed for functional enrichment using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes databases. Serotonin metabolism, neuronal developmental processes, and carbohydrates and lipid metabolism functional categories appeared as selectively affected by SSRI treatment, whereas 4-nonylphenol deregulated genes from the carbohydrate metabolism and the ecdysone regulatory pathway. These changes in functional and metabolic pathways are consistent with previously reported SSRIs and 4-nonylphenol hormetic effects in D. magna, including a decrease in reserve carbohydrates and an increase in respiratory metabolism.

AB - A hormetic response is characterized by an opposite effect in small and large doses of chemical exposure, often resulting in seemingly beneficial effects at low doses. Here, we examined the potential mechanisms underlying the hormetic response of Daphnia magna to the energetic trinitrotoluene (TNT). Daphnia magna were exposed to TNT for 21 days, and a significant increase in adult length and number of neonates was identified at low concentrations (0.002–0.22 mg/L TNT), while toxic effects were identified at high concentrations (0.97 mg/L TNT and above). Microarray analysis of D. magna exposed to 0.004, 0.12, and 1.85 mg/L TNT identified effects on lipid metabolism as a potential mechanism underlying hormetic effects. Lipidomic analysis of exposed D. magna supported the hypothesis that TNT exposure affected lipid and fatty acid metabolism, showing that hormetic effects could be related to changes in polyunsaturated fatty acids known to be involved in Daphnia growth and reproduction. Our results show that Daphnia exposed to low levels of TNT presented hormetic growth and reproduction enhancement, while higher TNT concentrations had an opposite effect. Our results also show how a systems approach can help elucidate potential mechanisms of action and adverse outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Fipronil, a relatively new insecticide more recently developed than organophosphates and pyrethroids, has been detected in surface water draining from agricultural and urban-developed areas. This insecticide is primarily lost through subsurface and surface drainage from terrestrial areas where it has been applied. Invasive aquatic plants often need to be managed in these receiving water bodies to prevent loss of recreational and functional values (e.g., drainage), especially in subtropical and tropical areas. One insect of particular interest is the chironomid midgeCricotopus lebetisSublette, which may be a useful augmentative biocontrol agent for the invasive aquatic weedHydrilla verticillataL.f. Royale. Exposure of aquatic organisms, especially insects, to fipronil may significantly impact nontarget populations. These studies investigated the sensitivity ofC. lebetisto fipronil exposures ranging from 24 to 96 h. The LC50observed for each exposure interval was 7.26 μg/L (24 h), 2.61 μg/L (48 h), 1.78 μg/L (72 h), and 1.06 μg/L (96 h). The LC90values observed were 47.18 μg/L (24 h), 9.55 μg/L (48 h), 6.45 μg/L (72 h), and 4.81 μg/L (96 h). Behavioral changes were seen at all fipronil concentration levels, where larvae exited the plant and exhibited abnormal behavior, such as restricted movement and lack of feeding. Results indicate that acute lethality occurred at environmentally relevant concentrations of fipronil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Adaptive Hydraulics (AdH) code was applied to simulate the hydrodynamic conditions along a stretch of the Kissimmee River in an effort to determine the impacts associated with possible system restoration alternatives. The Kissimmee River Basin flood control project, completed in 1971, had a negative impact on the ecosystem of the Kissimmee River and the adjacent floodplain by reducing floodplain inundation. This numerical model study investigated the expected inundation amounts associated with two restoration alternatives with the first being a return to the historical system and the second being a restored system that would maintain some flood control measures. The model simulations indicate an increase of anywhere from 12 % to 33 % in the floodplain inundation associated with system alternatives when compared to the existing conditions. This indicates that implementation of either of these alternatives would improve the ecosystem productivity for this portion of the Kissimmee River with the restored alternative also providing some flood protection.

AB - [1] The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) radar interferometer satellite mission will provide unprecedented global measurements of water surface elevation (h) for inland water bodies. However, like most remote sensing technologies SWOT will not observe river channel bathymetry below the lowest observed water surface, thus limiting its value for estimating river depth and/or discharge. This study explores if remotely sensed observations of river inundation width and h alone, when accumulated over time, may be used to estimate this unmeasurable flow depth. To test this possibility, synthetic values of h and either cross-sectional flow width (w) or effective width (We, inundation area divided by reach length) are extracted from 1495 previously surveyed channel cross-sections for the Upper Mississippi, Illinois, Rio Grande, and Ganges-Brahmaputra river systems, and from 62 km of continuously acquired sonar data for the Upper Mississippi. Two proposed methods (called "Linear" and "Slope-Break") are tested that seek to identify a small subset of geomorphically "optimal" locations where w or We covary strongly with h, such that they may be usefully extrapolated to estimate mean cross-sectional flow depth (d). While the simplest Linear Method is found to have considerable uncertainty, the Slope-Break Method, identifying locations where two distinct hydraulic relationships are identified (one for moderate to high flows and one for low flows), holds promise. Useful slope breaks were discovered in all four river systems, ranging from 6 (0.04%) to 242 (16%) of the 1495 studied cross-sections, assuming channel bathymetric exposures ranging from 20% to 95% of bankfull conditions, respectively. For all four rivers, the derived depth estimates from the Slope-Break Method have root mean squared errors (RMSEs) of <20% (relative to bankfull mean depth) assuming at least one channel bathymetry exposure of ~25% or greater. Based on historic discharge records and HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling, the Upper Mississippi and Rio Grande rivers experience adequate channel exposures at least ~60% and ~42% of the time, respectively. For the Upper Mississippi, so-called "reach-averaging" (spatial averaging along some predetermined river length) of native-resolution h and We values reduces both RMSE and longitudinal variability in the derived depth estimates, especially at reach-averaging lengths of ~1000-2000 m. These findings have positive implications for SWOT and other sensors attempting to estimate river flow depth and/or discharge solely from incomplete, remotely sensed hydraulic variables, and suggest that useful depth retrievals can be obtained within the spatial and temporal constraints of satellite observations.

AB - Borrow-pit lakes encompass about a third of the lentic water habitats (by area) in the active floodplain of the Lower Mississippi River, yet little is known about their fish assemblages. We investigated whether fish assemblages supported by borrow-pit lakes resembled those in oxbow lakes to help place the ecological relevance of borrow-pit lakes in context with that of natural floodplain lakes. In all, we collected 75 fish species, including 65 species in eight borrow-pit lakes, 52 species in four riverside oxbow lakes, and 44 species in eight landside oxbow lakes. Significant differences in several species richness metrics were evident between borrow-pit lakes and landside oxbow lakes but not between borrow-pit lakes and riverside oxbow lakes. All three lake types differed in fish assemblage composition. Borrow-pit lakes and riverside oxbow lakes tended to include a greater representation of fish species that require access to diverse environments, including lentic, lotic, and palustrine habitats; fish assemblages in landside oxbow lakes included a higher representation of lacustrine species. None of the fish species collected in borrow-pit lakes was federally listed as threatened or endangered, but several were listed as species of special concern by state governments in the region, suggesting that borrow-pit lakes provide habitat for sensitive riverine and wetland fish species. Differences in fish assemblages among borrow-pit lakes were linked to engineered morphologic features, suggesting that diversity in engineering can contribute to diversity in fish assemblages; however, more research is needed to match engineering designs with fish assemblage structures that best meet conservation needs.

AB - The high cost of transportation fuels and the environmental risks associated with acquiring and using nonrenewable energy sources have created a demand for developing renewable bioenergy crops. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a warm-season perennial grass, is a promising feedstock due to its high biomass production under a wide range of growing conditions and its satisfactory forage quality and chemical composition. West Virginia contains vast expanses of reclaimed surface mine lands that could be used to produce switchgrass as a bioenergy feedstock. This study determined dry matter yields of three switchgrass varieties (Cave-In-Rock, Shawnee, and Carthage) during the second to fourth years of production. Two research sites were established on reclaimed surface mines in southern West Virginia: Hobet and Hampshire. The Hobet site was prepared using crushed, unweathered sandstone as the soil material, and yields were significantly lower at 803 kg ha-1 averaged across varieties and years than annual yields at Hampshire. The highest yield at Hobet, with Shawnee in the third year, was 1964 kg ha-1. The Hamphire site, which was reclaimed in the late 1990s using topsoil and treated municipal sludge, averaged 5760 kg ha-1 of switchgrass across varieties and years. The highest yield, obtained with Cavein-Rock during the third year, was 9222 kg ha-1. Switchgrass yields on agricultural lands in this region averaged 12,000 kg ha-1. Although average switchgrass yields at Hampshire were about 50% lower than agricultural lands, they were greater than a target yield of 5000 kg ha-1, a threshold for economically feasible production. Yields during the fourth year from a two-harvest per year system were not significantly different from a single, end-of-year harvest at both sites. Reclaimed lands show promise for growing bioenergy crops such as switchgrass on areas where topsoil materials are replaced and amended like that at the Hampshire site. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Lieutenant General Leslie McNair created the Army Ground Forces (AGF) Observers program to capture lessons learned from the first combat experiences of American troops in World War II. Senior officers from the AGF staff, lieutenant colonels and colonels, were sent overseas to observe and write reports on their observations. These in turn were to be used to modify existing training programs for the very large Army that McNair had been charged with training in the United States. This article looks specifically at the Southwest Pacific Theater and finds that the AGF officers were principally concerned about leadership and the impact of new weapons and combined arms on the battlefield. They based these views principally on their experience and observations at Buna, Port Moresby, and Milne Bay and included an addenda on Guadalcanal. The article closes with a report from the senior AGF observer for the First Cavalry Division at Leyte in 1944 in order to contrast with the themes of the early AGF observer reports. Overall, the program appears to have been a very useful - and even successful - way to get lessons learned from the battlefield back to Ground Forces training programs in the United States.

AB - A large portion of the casualties admitted to military hospitals on the battlefield in Iraq consists of children, of whom 13% had burns. The U.S. Army Combat Support Hospital (CSH) in Baghdad, faced with an influx of such patients, successfully transferred selected burned children by commercial airlines to the Shriners Hospital for Children in Boston, Massachusetts (SHC-B). The authors aimed to document this process, from both an ethical and a procedural standpoint. Care was conducted in six phases: 1) admission to the CSH; 2) selection for transfer; 3) burn care at the CSH; 4) travel to the United States; 5) burn care at the SHC-B; 6) return to Iraq. Transfer and SHC-B care were funded by charitable organizations. A review of patient records was performed. Eight acutely burned pediatric patients participated in this program. All were successfully transferred, treated at SHC-B, and returned to Iraq. They ranged in age from 1.7 to 17 years and in burn size from 6 to 53% of the TBSA. At SHC-B, the hospital length of stay was 14 to 132 days; up to 23 visits to the operating room were performed for acute and reconstructive burn surgery. The cost of war includes the care of injured civilians, and includes burned children. For selected patients, transfer out of the combat zone is one method of fulfilling this obligation.

AB - BACKGROUND: Substituting whole blood osmolality for plasma osmolality could expedite treatments otherwise delayed by the time required to separate erythrocytes from plasma. The purpose of this study was to compare the measured osmolality (mmol/kg) and calculated osmolarity (mmol/l) of whole blood and plasma. METHODS: The osmolality of whole blood and plasma was measured using freezing point depression by micro-osmometer and osmolarity calculated from biosensor measures of sodium, glucose, and blood urea nitrogen. The influence of sample volume was also investigated post hoc by comparing measured osmolality at 20 and 250 [mu]l. RESULTS: Sixty-two volunteers provided 168 paired whole blood and plasma samples for analysis. The mean difference (whole blood - plasma; ±standard deviation) in osmolality was 10 ± 3 mmol/kg. Whole blood was greater than plasma in 168 of 168 cases (100%) and data distributions overlapped by 27%. The mean difference in osmolarity was 0 ± 2 mmol/l. Whole blood was greater than plasma in 90 of 168 cases (56%) and data distributions overlapped by 90%. The osmol gap (osmolality - osmolarity) was 16 ± 6 mmol for whole blood and 7 ± 5 mmol for plasma. Ten volunteers were tested on one occasion post hoc to investigate the potential effects of sample volume. The difference between whole blood and plasma was reduced to 3 ± 2 mmol/kg with a larger (250 [mu]l vs. 20 [mu]l) sample volume. CONCLUSIONS: This investigation provides strong evidence that whole blood and plasma osmolality are not interchangeable measurements when a 20 [mu]l sample is used.

AB - Background: Deficits in the capacity to reflect about the self and others ("social reflection" [SR]) have been identified in schizophrenia, as well as in people with a genetic or clinical risk for the disorder. However, the neural underpinnings of these abnormalities are incompletely understood.Methods: Responses of a network of brain regions known to be involved in self and other processing (e.g., medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and superior temporal gyrus (STG)) were measured during SR in 16 first-degree, non-psychotic relatives (RELS) of schizophrenia patients and 16 healthy controls (CONS). Because of prior evidence linking dysfunction in this network and delusions, associations between SR-related responses of this network and subclinical delusions (measured using the Peters et al. Delusions Inventory) were also examined.Results: Compared with CONS, RELS showed significantly less SR-related activity of the right and left PCC and STG. Moreover, response magnitudes were negatively correlated with levels of delusional thinking across both groups.Conclusions: These findings suggest that aberrant function of the neural circuitry underpinning SR is associated with the genetic liability to schizophrenia and confers vulnerability to delusional beliefs.

AB - Helmets provide soldiers with ballistic and fragmentation protection but impair auditory spatial processing. Missed auditory information can be fatal for a soldier; therefore, helmet design requires compromise between protection and optimal acoustics. Twelve soldiers localised two sound signals presented from six azimuth angles and three levels of elevation presented at two intensity levels and with three background noises. Each participant completed the task while wearing no helmet and with two U.S. Army infantry helmets – the Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT) helmet and the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH). Results showed a significant effect of helmet type on the size of both azimuth and elevation error. The effects of level, background noise, azimuth and elevation were found to be significant. There was no effect of sound signal type. As hypothesised, localisation accuracy was greatest when soldiers did not wear helmet, followed by the ACH. Performance was worst with the PASGT helmet. Practitioner Summary:A soldier's headgear provides ballistic protection but decreases his ability to accurately localise sound sources. Soldiers performed a sound localisation task with no helmet and while wearing each of two Army helmets. The study confirmed that the ACH had less impact on auditory spatial perception than the PASGT helmet.

AB - OBJECTIVES. Executive functioning deficits may result from concussion. The Charge of Quarters (CQ) Duty Task is a multitask assessment designed to assess executive functioning in servicemembers after concussion. In this article, we discuss the rationale and process used in the development of the CQ Duty Task and present pilot data from the preliminary evaluation of interrater reliability (IRR). METHOD. Three evaluators observed as 12 healthy participants performed the CQ Duty Task and measured performance using various metrics. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) quantified IRR. RESULTS. The ICC for task completion was .94. ICCs for other assessment metrics were variable. CONCLUSION. Preliminary IRR data for the CQ Duty Task are encouraging, but further investigation is needed to improve IRR in some domains. Lessons learned in the development of the CQ Duty Task could benefit future test development efforts with populations other than the military.

N2 - Background Thoracic SMT can improve symptoms in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome. However, at this time the mechanisms of SMT are not well established. It is possible that changes in pain sensitivity may occur following SMT. Objectives To assess the immediate pain response in patients with shoulder pain following thoracic spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) using pressure pain threshold (PPT), and to assess the relationship of change in pain sensitivity to patient-rated outcomes of pain and function following treatment. Design Randomized Controlled Study. Methods Subjects with unilateral subacromial impingement syndrome (n = 45) were randomly assigned to receive treatment with thoracic SMT or sham thoracic SMT. PPT was measured at the painful shoulder (deltoid) and unaffected regions (contralateral deltoid and bilateral lower trapezius areas) immediately pre- and post-treatment. Patient-rated outcomes were pain (numeric pain rating scale – NPRS), function (Pennsylvania Shoulder Score – Penn), and global rating of change (GROC). Results There were no significant differences between groups in pre-to post-treatment changes in PPT (p ≥ 0.583) nor were there significant changes in PPT within either group (p ≥ 0.372) following treatment. NPRS, Penn and GROC improved across both groups (p < 0.001), but there were no differences between the groups (p ≥ 0.574). Conclusion There were no differences in pressure pain sensitivity between participants receiving thoracic SMT versus sham thoracic SMT. Both groups had improved patient-rated pain and function within 24–48 h of treatment, but there was no difference in outcomes between the groups. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Background Since 1985, one-third of all US all-terrain vehicle (ATV)-related injuries and one-quarter of deaths involved victims <16 years of age. ATV safety education of youth could help reduce these tragedies. Objectives To assess the efficacy of the Safety Tips for ATV Riders (STARs) school-based programme targeting adolescents. Methods A survey was anonymously administered before and after the programme to determine demographics, knowledge and reported likelihood of using the information learned. Results Over 4600 students in 30 Iowa schools participated from November 2010 to April 2013. Initially, 52% knew most ATVs are designed for one rider, 25% knew the recommended vehicle size for their age range and 42% knew riding on Iowa’s roads was legal only for agricultural purposes. After the programme, this increased to 92%, 82% and 76%, respectively (p<0.0001 in each case), with 61% of students correct on all three. Better preintervention scores were associated with being males, higher riding frequency and being from isolated rural communities. After the programme, 48% and 32% said they were likely/very likely versus unlikely/very unlikely to use the safety information learned, respectively; younger students, females and infrequent riders reported higher likelihoods. Conclusions STARs increased short-term ATV safety knowledge and almost half the participants reported they would use the safety information presented. Males and frequent riders seemed more resistant, but some groups that may be more vulnerable to potential ATV crash and injury appeared amenable to the training with higher increases in postprogramme scores and greater intention of improving safety behaviours.

AB - During the interwar period, while some officers supported mechanization, others, who could accurately be termed "traditionalists," supported the use of horses. One of the most prominent of these traditionalists was Brigadier General Hamilton S. Hawkins, who contended that mechanized vehicles would never be capable or numerous enough to completely eliminate the use of horse cavalry. Even as mechanized forces dominated the battlefield during World War II, Hawkins continued to write about the need for horse cavalry. Faced with overwhelming evidence in favor of mechanized vehicles, Hawkins ultimately demonstrated that his advocacy of the horse was a matter of faith and not of empirical evidence.

AB - Bi- and trilayer composites of titanium aluminides (Ti-Al) and substoichiometric titanium boride (TiB0.6) have been fabricated from green compacts placed under pressure. Ti-Al blends with ratios of 3:1, 1:1, or 1:3 have been prepared by ball milling. Subsequent to the preparation of the precursor blends, plate-shaped green compacts of Ti-Al and Ti-B0.6 were pressed at room temperature. Green compacts were stacked in a layered geometry and were heated rapidly under a static pressure of about 10 bar. After the temperature reached 1300-1400°C, the Ti-Al and TiB0.6 phases were synthesized by the conversion of the reactants into the product phases (also known as 'thermal explosion' processing) and simultaneously consolidated and joined under a pressure of 80-100 bar. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination showed that the Ti-Al layer was highly heterogeneous, and the extent of heterogeneity depended strongly on the respective elemental ratio of Ti to Al. Furthermore, the conversion from reactants to products was found to be determined by the overall heat available during the thermal explosion processing step. Unlike the Ti-Al, the TiB0.6 layer was more uniform; however, the combination of heat and pressure was found to be insufficient to fully densify the aluminide layer. These and other features of the layered intermetallic structures will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Results of the behavior of pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) I-shaped beams subjected to concentrated loads in the plane of the web are presented. Twenty beams with nominal depths from 152.4 to 304.8 mm were tested in three-point bending with a span-to-depth ratio of four. Load was applied to the top flange directly above the web-12 without bearing plates and 8 with bearing plates of varying width and thickness. All test specimens failed with a wedgelike shear failure at the upper web-flange junction. Finite-element results support experimental findings from strain gauge and digital image correlation data. Bearing plates increased beam capacity by 35% or more as a function of bearing plate width and thickness. Bearing plates increased average shear stress in the web at failure from 17.4 to 27.2 MPa-below the accepted value of in-plane shear strength (69 MPa). A design equation is presented, and predicted capacities are compared with experimental results. The average value of experimental capacity to predicted capacity is 1.12 with a standard deviation of 0.11 and coefficient of variation (COV) of 0.10 for sections up to 304.8 mm deep.

AB - This paper considers a portfolio management problem of Merton's type in which the risky asset return is related to the return history. The problem is modeled by a stochastic system with delay. The investor's goal is to choose the investment control as well as the consumption control to maximize his total expected, discounted utility. Under certain situations, we derive the explicit solutions in a finite dimensional space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this research, variation is defined as the time difference between what was planned and what actually happened in terms of task starting times and duration. Variation in construction tasks is important as it can impact productivity performance. Construction projects consist of a large number of interdependent tasks. When the starting time and/or duration of one task varies, it can affect other downstream tasks and result in disruptions to the schedule and/or decreased productivity. The construction process is complex and involves numerous people with different levels of responsibility, which makes identifying the root causes of the variation difficult. A nationwide survey was administered to workers, foremen, and project managers to identify the most prevalent causes and magnitude of both starting time and task duration variation. Fifty individual causes of variation were divided into eight categories: prerequisite work, detailed design/working method, labor force, tools and equipment, material and components, work/job site conditions, management/supervision/information flow, and weather or external conditions. This research examined the similarities and differences in perceptions between craft workers, foremen, and project managers in terms of starting time and task duration variation. The top eight causes of starting time variation and top nine causes of task duration variation were identified. The research also quantitatively analyzed the underlying structure of the causes of variation using factor analysis. This was done by grouping the 50 individual causes into nine orthogonal factors that represent the underlying structure of the affecting causes. The findings will help construction project managers and field managers focus on the root causes of variation during planning in order to develop effective strategies to reduce variation and improve project productivity performance.

AB - Background: The potential exists for laboratory personnel to be exposed to engineered carbonbased nanomaterials (CNMs) in studies aimed at producing conditions similar to those found in natural surface waters [e.g., presence of natural organic matter (NOM)]. Objective: The goal of this preliminary investigation was to assess the release of CNMs into the laboratory atmosphere during handling and sonication into environmentally relevant matrices. Method s: We measured fullerenes (C60), underivatized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (raw MWCNT), hydroxylated MWCNT (MWCNT-OH), and carbon black (CB) in air as the nanomaterials were weighed, transferred to beakers filled with reconstituted freshwater, and sonicated in deionized water and reconstituted freshwater with and without NOM. Airborne nanomaterials emitted during processing were quantified using two hand-held particle counters that measure total particle number concentration per volume of air within the nanometer range (10 -- 1,000 nm) and six specific size ranges (300 -- 10,000 nm). Particle size and morphology were determined by transmission electron microscopy of air sample filters. Discussion: After correcting for background particle number concentrations, it was evident that increases in airborne particle number concentrations occurred for each nanomaterial except CB during weighing, with airborne particle number concentrations inversely related to particle size. Sonicating nanomaterial-spiked water resulted in increased airborne nanomaterials, most notably for MWCNT-OH in water with NOM and for CB. Conclusion: Engineered nanomaterials can become airborne when mixed in solution by sonication, especially when nanomaterials are functionalized or in water containing NOM. This finding indicates that laboratory workers may be at increased risk of exposure to engineered nanomaterials.

AB - This paper investigates the performance of planar inductors based on space filling curves, a family of fractals with the property of completely filling a bounded area. Fractal-based inductor design is a method for obtaining a very long trace lengths—and thus inductance densities—in 2-D space as a replacement for the serpentines currently used in one layer inductors. Because of the intricate course created by a fractal curve, these types of inductors are particularly well suited for stretchable electronics, where a tortuous path relieves mechanical stress and creates a more compliant structure. Inductors based on seven common space filling curves, all bounded within a one square millimeter area, were both simulated and measured experimentally and found to vary between 3.0 and 7.1 nH. Lower order fractals were found to give comparable performance to serpentine inductors with similar inductance density. More complicated fractals, after more than two iterations, were found to have lower inductance density than similar resistance serpentines. Mechanical simulations demonstrate a reduction in stress by a factor of 10 or more compared with the loop and serpentine designs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We demonstrate in detail a semisupervised scheme to classify unexploded ordnance (UXO) by using as an example the data collected with a time-domain electromagnetic towed array detection system during a live-site blind test conducted at the former Camp Butner in North Carolina, USA. The model that we use to characterize targets and generate discrimination features relies on a solution of the inverse UXO problem using the orthonormalized volume magnetic source model. Unlike other classification techniques, which often rely on library matching or expert knowledge, our combined clustering/Gaussian-mixture-model approach first uses the inherent properties of the data in feature space to build a custom training list that is then used to score all unknown targets by assigning them a likelihood of being UXO. The ground truth for the most likely candidates is then requested and used to correct the model parameters and reassign the scores. The process is repeated several times until the desired statistical margin is reached, at which point a final dig is produced. Our method could decrease intervention by human experts and, as the results of the blind test show, identify all targets of interest correctly while minimizing false-alarm counts.

AB - We introduce a fast and accurate numerical technique for the solution of electromagnetic induction sensing problems called the orthonormalized volume magnetic source model. The model assumes that the secondary magnetic field measured by a sensor originates from a set of magnetic dipole sources distributed over a volume that coincides with the interrogated area. The Green functions associated with the responding sources are turned into an orthonormal basis using a generalization of the Gram-Schmidt method, enabling one to determine the sources' strengths directly from measured data without having to invert large and potentially ill-conditioned matrices. The method treats multitarget cases naturally and robustly. Several examples are presented to illustrate the applicability of the method in the discrimination of unexploded ordnance (UXO). In particular, we analyze data taken by the Time-Domain Electromagnetic Multisensor Towed Array Detection System sensor array at a test stand and during a blind test administered at a UXO live site. The method is highly successful in distinguishing UXO from among other UXO and from accompanying clutter. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - In this paper, a novel discriminative dictionary learning method is proposed for sparse-representation-based classification (SRC) to label highly dimensional hyperspectral imagery (HSI). In SRC, a dictionary is conventionally constructed using all of the training pixels, which is not only inefficient due to the large size of typical HSI images but also ineffective in capturing class-discriminative information crucial for classification. We address the dictionary design problem with the inspiration from the learning vector quantization technique and propose a hinge loss function that is directly related to the classification task as the objective function for dictionary learning. The resulting online learning procedure systematically “pulls” and “pushes” dictionary atoms so that they become better adapted to distinguish between different classes. In addition, the spatial context for a test pixel within its local neighborhood is modeled using a Bayesian graph model and is incorporated with the sparse representation of a single test pixel in a unified probabilistic framework, which enables further refinement of our dictionary to capture the spatial class dependence that complements the spectral information. Experiments on different HSI images demonstrate that the dictionaries optimized using our method can achieve higher classification accuracy with substantially reduced dictionary size than using the whole training set. The proposed method also outperforms existing dictionary learning methods and attains the state-of-the-art results in both the spectral-only and spatial-spectral settings. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - The purpose of this study was to longitudinally investigate PTSD and depression between Reserve, National Guard, and active duty continuously and dichotomously. The study consisted of Millennium Cohort Study participants and used self-reported symptoms. Repeated measures modeling assessed PTSD and depression continuously and dichotomously over time. A subanalysis among only recently deployed personnel was conducted. Of the 52,653 participants for the PTSD analysis, the adjusted PCL-C means were 34.6 for Reservists, 34.4 for National Guardsmen, and 34.7 for active duty members, respectively. Of the 53,073 participants for depression analysis, the adjusted PHQ-9 means were 6.8, 6.7, and 7.2, respectively. In dichotomous models, Reservists and National Guardsmen did not have a higher risk of PTSD or depression compared with active duty members. Among deployers, Reservists and National Guardsmen had higher odds (odds ratio = 1.16, 95% confidence limit [CL] [1.01, 1.34] and OR = 1.19, 95% CL [1.04, 1.36], respectively) of screening positive for PTSD, but not depression. Although Reserve and National Guard deployers had modestly increased odds of PTSD compared with active duty members, overall there were minimal differences in the risk and symptom scores of PTSD and depression between service components.

AB - We consider the problem of 20 questions with noise for multiple players under the minimum entropy criterion in the setting of stochastic search, with application to target localization. Each player yields a noisy response to a binary query governed by a certain error probability. First, we propose a sequential policy for constructing questions that queries each player in sequence and refines the posterior of the target location. Second, we consider a joint policy that asks all players questions in parallel at each time instant and characterize the structure of the optimal policy for constructing the sequence of questions. This generalizes the single player probabilistic bisection method for stochastic search problems. Third, we prove an equivalence between the two schemes showing that, despite the fact that the sequential scheme has access to a more refined filtration, the joint scheme performs just as well on average. Fourth, we establish convergence rates of the mean-square error and derive error exponents. Finally, we obtain an extension to the case of unknown error probabilities. This framework provides a mathematical model for incorporating a human in the loop for active machine learning systems. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - An algorithm was developed and tested to blindly focus the acoustic spectra of a rotorcraft that was blurred by time-varying Doppler shifts and other effects such atmospheric distortion. First, the fundamental frequency generated by the main rotor blades of a rotorcraft was tracked using a fixed-lag smoother. Then, the frequency estimates were used to resample the data using interpolation. Next, the motion-compensated data were further focused using a technique based upon the phase gradient autofocus (PGA) algorithm. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated by analyzing the increase in the amplitude of the harmonics due to focusing the data. For most of the data, the algorithm focused the harmonics between approximately 10-90 Hz to within 1-2 dB of an estimated upper bound (UB) obtained from conservation of energy and estimates of the Doppler shift. In addition, the algorithm was able to separate two closely spaced frequencies in the spectra of the rotorcraft. The algorithm developed can be used to preprocess data for classification, nulling, and tracking algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The recent growth of agent-based software systems was achieved without the development of a reference architecture. From a software engineering standpoint, a reference architecture is necessary to compare, evaluate, and integrate past, current, and future agent-based software systems. The agent systems reference architecture (ASRA) advances the agent-based system development process by providing a set of key interaction patterns for functional areas that exist between the layers and protocols of agent-based systems. Furthermore, the ASRA identifies the points for interoperability between agent-based systems and increases the level of discussion when referring to agent-based systems. This paper presents methodology, grounded in software forensics, to develop the ASRA and provides an overview of the resulting architectural representation. The methodology uses an approach based on software engineering techniques adapted to study agent frameworks—the libraries and tools for building agent systems. The resulting ASRA can serve as an abstract representation of the components necessary for facilitating comparison, integration, and interoperation of software systems composed of agents.

AB - This article examines the relationship between the White House and the US Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) during President Richard M. Nixon's administration. It argues that dysfunctional civil-military relations between 1969 and 1972 undermined the implementation of a sound military strategy during the United States' withdrawal from South Vietnam as Nixon attempted to achieve ‘peace with honor’ during the Vietnam War's final campaigns. By 1972, the relationship between the White House and MACV headquarters had reached the nadir of civil-military relations during the Southeast Asian conflict and had served to undercut the United States' ability to effectively disengage from a long and bitterly contested war.

AB - In recent decades, the U.S. military has enjoyed high levels of public confidence. We argue that the rise (and sustainment) of public confidence in the military reflects two phenomena. First, the public has a high regard for the military and its mission, arising from a shift to a professional (nonconscript) force that is perceived to be competent, fair, and accountable. Second, the public has little fear of military abuses in the domestic arena, owing chiefly to the reduced domestic presence of the military in the post-World War II era, with less emphasis on the physical defense of the homeland; and to the military's careful cultivation of an apolitical culture since Vietnam. We conclude with a brief discussion of the military's efforts to develop and encourage public-mindedness among its members, and the challenges to replicating the military approach in other institutional settings.

AB - Objective: To determine if training with electronically-modulated hearing protection (EMHP) and the open ear results in auditory learning on a horizontal localization task. Design: Baseline localization testing was conducted in three listening conditions (open-ear, in-the-ear (ITE) EMHP, and over-the-ear (OTE) EMHP). Participants then wore either an ITE or OTE EMHP for 12, almost daily, one-hour training sessions. After training was complete, participants again underwent localization testing in all three listening conditions. A computer with a custom software and hardware interface presented localization sounds and collected participant responses. Study sample: Twelve participants were recruited from the student population at Virginia Tech. Audiometric requirements were 35 dBHL at 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz bilaterally, and 55 dBHL at 4000 Hz in at least one ear. Results: Pre-training localization performance with an ITE or OTE EMHP was worse than open-ear performance. After training with any given listening condition, including open-ear, performance in that listening condition improved, in part from a practice effect. However, post-training localization performance showed near equal performance between the open-ear and training EMHP. Auditory learning occurred for the training EMHP, but not for the non-training EMHP; that is, there was no significant training crossover effect between the ITE and the OTE devices. Conclusion: It is evident from this study that auditory learning (improved horizontal localization performance) occurred with the EMHP for which training was performed. However, performance improvements found with the training EMHP were not realized in the non-training EMHP. Furthermore, localization performance in the open-ear condition also benefitted from training on the task.

AB - Videogames are emerging as an increasingly popular training tool in the military. Given this trend, it is important to investigate factors that maximize the effectiveness of this training medium. The present research analyzed the impact of trainee attributes (i.e., prior videogame experience, videogame self-efficacy, and goal orientation) on game-based training outcomes. Participants completed a game-based tactics training exercise. The training exercise used America's Army, a first-person-perspective videogame with a single-player section to introduce game-specific tasks, followed by a multiplayer section where participants form small teams to conduct collaborative missions. Prior to and after the training exercise, participants completed online questionnaires. Results suggest that the trainee attributes, as a set, had a positive impact on trainee motivation, trainee satisfaction, ease in using the training game interface, metacognitive strategies utilized during training, and time spent engaging in the training game. These findings have implications for instructors using videogames as training tools. Recommendations for future research in this area are provided.

AB - Building on earlier research that used a 'capabilities/benevolence' framework to examine an 'embracing change' disposition, the current investigation extended previous cadet-based findings to a sample of company- and field-grade military officers. We hypothesized that officers with a high learning orientation and a high propensity to trust others would hold a significantly more positive attitude toward change than other individuals, even when controlling for the officer's general dispositional resistance to change. As with the earlier cadet results, the findings confirmed the hypothesis for learning orientation but not for trust. Discussion focused on the utility of acquiring a better understanding of an embracing change disposition and on the value of salting individuals with high learning orientations throughout the organization. Additionally, for future research, we consider the importance of employing multiple and diverse methods when exploring the embracing change construct. Such methodological expansion will undoubtedly reduce some conceptual ambiguities associated with the current study.

AB - To better understand the adaptive capabilities of junior Army leaders, we applied an existing nine-dimension adaptability model to critical incidents of leader behaviors. We examined interview data from two samples of U.S. Army leaders (40 combat veterans and 24 training facilitators). The adaptive behaviors performed most in combat reflected the Deals with Unpredictability and Handles Emergencies dimensions, whereas in training contexts they reflected the Leads Adaptive Teams and Solves Problems Creatively dimensions. The model represented all of the adaptive capabilities; however, the dimensions varied across the samples. To promote adaptability, the leaders recommended developing mental adaptability skills and adaptive teams.

AB - Public health concerns such as multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, bioterrorism, pandemic influenza, and sick building syndrome have brought about increased interest in the use of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to prevent the spread of airborne infection. UVGI lamps require that radiometric measurements be performed to ensure their safe and effective use. This study evaluates 10 detectors that measure the ultraviolet radiation hazard of low-pressure mercury UVGI lamps, including a polychromator spectroradiometer, narrowband detectors designed to measure the ultraviolet radiation in a short range of wavelengths, and broadband detectors with a varying spectral response designed to follow the UV hazard action spectrum. The angular responses, spectral responses, and linearity of the detectors were measured and compared. The agreement between the measured angular responses and the ideal cosine responses varied widely among the detectors, and in general, the detectors with diffusing optics agreed significantly better with the ideal cosine response. The spectral responses at 254 nm also varied widely among the detectors, and, in general, the narrowband detectors agreed more closely with the 254 nm irradiances measured under the same conditions by a double monochromator spectroradiometer. All detectors displayed good linearity. The angular and spectral response data were then used to develop correction factors for the effective irradiance measurements of two UVGI sources, each measured at 10, 20, and 30 cm. The measured effective irradiances were compared with those measured by a double monochromator spectroradiometer with an integrating sphere input optic. Prior to correction, the effective irradiances measured by the detectors varied widely, ranging from 0.29 to 2.7 times those measured by the spectroradiometer. The application of cosine and spectral response correction factors significantly improved the agreement for the effective irradiances measured by all of the detectors, typically to within 10-20%. Awareness of these detector characteristics can play a key role in ensuring the accuracy of health hazard measurements of UVGI lamps.

AB - The current study examined attitudes of West Point cadets (N = 218), Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets (N = 509), and non-military-affiliated students from civilian colleges (N = 598) toward a variety of roles that women may serve in the military. Respondents were queried whether a woman 'should' or 'should not' serve in the following military jobs: jet fighter pilot, truck mechanic, nurse in a combat zone, typist in the Pentagon, commander of a military installation, handto-hand combat soldier, jet transport pilot, air defense gunner, and crew member on a combat ship. A metric based on a sum of approval across all jobs indicated that women were significantly more approving than men; civilian college students were more approving than ROTC cadets; andWest Point cadets showed the lowest overall approval.

AB - Abstract: Training in virtual environments (VEs) has the potential to establish mental models and task mastery while providing a safe environment in which to practice. Performance feedback is known to contribute to this learning; however, the most effective ways to provide feedback in VEs have not been established. The present study examined the effects of differing feedback content, focusing on adaptive feedback. Participants learned search procedures during multiple missions in a VE. A control group received only a performance score after each mission. Two groups additionally received either detailed or general feedback after each mission, while two other groups received feedback that adapted based on their performance (either detailed-to-general, or general-to-detailed). Groups that received detailed feedback from the start of training had faster performance improvement than all other groups; however, all feedback groups showed improved performance and by the fourth mission performed at levels above the control group. Results suggest that detailed feedback early in the training cycle is the most beneficial for the fastest learning of new task skills in VEs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The article discusses research which was conducted to investigate the effects of short-term physical training on the acute hormonal response (i.e., growth hormone, total and free insulin-like growth factor I [lGF-I], and IGF binding proteins [IGFBP]-1, IGFBP-2, and lGFBP-3) to resistance exercise (RE) in women. Researchers evaluated 46 women who either performed endurance training, resistance training, combined training or no training. They found that participation in resistance training increased total IGF-I and reduced IGFBP-1 concentrations during acute RE, indicating exercise mode-specific adaptations in the circulating IGF-I system.

AB - Abstract: Flame control, particularly at very lean conditions, is a critical requirement for external combustion power sources such as thermoelectric and thermophotovoltaic generators. The availability of in-situ produced hydrogen from JP-8 fuel reforming presents a potential supply of hydrogen at the application site, such as the battlefield, without adding a second fuel to the logistics system. This research investigates the use of small amounts of hydrogen co-fired with JP-8 for improved energy efficiency, operational flexibility and environmental protection. Numerical simulations were conducted in a 6 kW (thermal) swirling flow combustor under different conditions. The simulations use hydrogen and a single hydrocarbon surrogate for JP-8 with a 4-step reaction mechanism. It also examined the effect of using hydrogen-rich reformate containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and other gases dual-fired with JP-8. Results showed that at lean conditions, dual firing of hydrogen or reformate with JP-8 provided improved fuel conversion, better flame stability and higher fuel burnout. Dual firing hydrogen-rich reformate and JP-8 led to increased burner capacity, reduced system size and weight requirements. However, dual firing with hydrogen provided little benefit to JP-8 combustion under stoichiometric or fuel rich conditions because they were limited by mixing rather than chemical kinetics. These results indicate that dual firing of hydrogen with JP-8 is a promising method for improving lean flame stability and burner control. This has the potential to enable small scale power applications with specific temperature requirements such as thermoelectric and thermophotovoltaic generators. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: This paper surveys decision support models that are commonly used in the solid waste management area. Most models are mainly developed within three decision support frameworks, which are the life-cycle assessment, the cost–benefit analysis and the multi-criteria decision-making. These frameworks are reviewed and their strengths and weaknesses as well as their critical issues are analyzed, while their possible combinations and extensions are also discussed. Furthermore, the paper presents how cooperative and non-cooperative game-theoretic approaches can be used for the purpose of modeling and analyzing decision-making in situations with multiple stakeholders. Specifically, since a waste management model is sustainable when considering not only environmental and economic but also social aspects, the waste management bargaining game is introduced as a specific decision support framework in which future models can be developed.

AB - Abstract: Indian River Inlet is located at roughly the mid-point of the Atlantic coast of Delaware and connects the ocean to two Delaware inland bays. Jetties constructed in 1940 have maintained the inlet for navigation purposes but have also acted as a barrier to net northerly alongshore sediment transport causing downdrift erosion. A mobile, land-based bypassing system was initiated in 1990 in an effort to counteract this erosion. Beach profile data from 1985 (pre-bypassing) until 2008 are used to investigate the effect of the sand bypassing system on beaches adjacent to the inlet. The downdrift beach experienced horizontal shoreline erosion between 10 and 60m during the pre-bypassing period but accreted 10–20m during the bypassing period. The mean shoreline location on the updrift beach during bypassing is 10–20m landward (erosion) of its position during the pre-bypassing period. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) amplitudes from analyses performed on mean-removed elevation surfaces during the periods of highest bypassed volume (average of 83% of design rate) showed that the influence of the bypassing system on the downdrift beach extends to about 1500m of the inlet. An EOF analysis showed that different morphologic responses were evident following the initiation of bypass operations. Temporal variations of shoreline and beach morphology were correlated to the temporal variations in bypassing rates on the downdrift beach only. The downdrift beach response was greatest near the inlet for larger bypassing volumes. Correlation in these instances occurred with a roughly 1-year time lag suggesting that the beach quickly redistributes the bypassed sand. EOF amplitude and shoreline response are weakly correlated to bypassed volumes when the system bypassed smaller volumes (average of 56% of design rate) of sand suggesting that there is a minimum bypassing rate, regardless of yearly variability, below which the effect on the downdrift beach is obscured.

AB - Abstract: The selection of metrics for ecosystem restoration programs is critical for improving the quality and utility of design and monitoring programs, informing adaptive management actions, and characterizing project success. The metrics selection process, that in practice is left to the subjective judgment of stakeholders, is often complex and should simultaneously take into account monitoring data, environmental models, socio-economic considerations, and stakeholder interests. With limited funding, it is often very difficult to balance the importance of multiple metrics, often competing, intended to measure different environmental, social, and economic aspects of the system. To help restoration planners and practitioners develop the most useful and informative design and monitoring programs, we propose the use of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods, broadly defined, to select optimal ecosystem restoration metric sets. In this paper, we apply and compare two MCDA methods, multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT), and probabilistic multi-criteria acceptability analysis (ProMAA), for a hypothetical river restoration case study involving multiple stakeholders with competing interests. Overall, the MCDA results in a systematic, quantitative, and transparent evaluation and comparison of potential metrics that provides planners and practitioners with a clear basis for selecting the optimal set of metrics to evaluate restoration alternatives and to inform restoration design and monitoring. In our case study, the two MCDA methods provide comparable results in terms of selected metrics. However, because ProMAA can consider probability distributions for weights and utility values of metrics for each criterion, it is most likely the best option for projects with highly uncertain data and significant stakeholder involvement. Despite the increase in complexity in the metrics selection process, MCDA improves upon the current, commonly-used ad-hoc decision practice based on consultations with stakeholders by applying and presenting quantitative aggregation of data and judgment, thereby increasing the effectiveness of environmental design and monitoring and the transparency of decision making in restoration projects.

AB - The transcriptome of RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine)-degrading strain Gordonia sp. strain KTR9 and its glnR mutant were studied as a function of nitrogen availability to further investigate the observed ammonium-mediated inhibition of RDX degradation. The results indicate that nitrogen availability is a major determinant of RDX degradation and xplA gene expression in KTR9. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Movement strategies of small forage fish (<8cm total length) between temporary and permanent wetland habitats affect their overall population growth and biomass concentrations, i.e., availability to predators. These fish are often the key energy link between primary producers and top predators, such as wading birds, which require high concentrations of stranded fish in accessible depths. Expansion and contraction of seasonal wetlands induce a sequential alternation between rapid biomass growth and concentration, creating the conditions for local stranding of small fish as they move in response to varying water levels. To better understand how landscape topography, hydrology, and fish behavior interact to create high densities of stranded fish, we first simulated population dynamics of small fish, within a dynamic food web, with different traits for movement strategy and growth rate, across an artificial, spatially explicit, heterogeneous, two-dimensional marsh slough landscape, using hydrologic variability as the driver for movement. Model output showed that fish with the highest tendency to invade newly flooded marsh areas built up the largest populations over long time periods with stable hydrologic patterns. A higher probability to become stranded had negative effects on long-term population size, and offset the contribution of that species to stranded biomass. The model was next applied to the topography of a 10km×10km area of Everglades landscape. The details of the topography were highly important in channeling fish movements and creating spatiotemporal patterns of fish movement and stranding. This output provides data that can be compared in the future with observed locations of fish biomass concentrations, or such surrogates as phosphorus ‘hotspots’ in the marsh. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Introduction: The purpose of this research is to describe the leading circumstances of military vehicle crashes to guide prioritization and implementation of crash avoidance and/or warning technologies. Methods: A descriptive study using narrative text analysis on 3,944 military vehicle crash narratives. Crash data on drivers, from 2001 to 2006, were assembled from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center. Reviewers collected information on the circumstances of crashes and determined if vehicle technology could have prevented the crash. Results: Nearly 98% of the crashes were nonfatal; 63% occurred in the U.S. and 24% in Iraq. Among crash events where the direction of the impact was recorded, 32% were to the front of the vehicle and 16% involved a vehicle being rear-ended. Rollovers were mentioned in 20% of the narratives. Technology was determined to have the potential to prevent 26% of the crashes, with the forward collision warning system, rear end collision avoidance, emergency brake assistance, and rollover stability control system likely to have the greatest impacts. Conclusions: Some technologies available for civilian vehicles may prevent certain military crash circumstances. Impact on Industry: The results of this research are significant in light of ongoing global military operations that rely on military vehicles. Improving the preventive technology featured on military vehicles may be an effective strategy to reduce the occurrence of military crashes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The lower portion of the Sacramento River, California, has been highly engineered to protect low-lying surrounding communities from annual flood events. While engineered floodplains have provided adequate protection for the surrounding communities, there remain unintended consequences to migratory fish that become stranded during high flow events. In April 2011, we rescued 24 threatened Green Sturgeon Acipenser medirostris that were stranded in two flood diversions along the Sacramento River. We tagged these 24 Green Sturgeon with acoustic tags and analyzed their survival and migration success to their spawning grounds. Additionally, we provided a population viability analysis to show the potential impacts of stranding and the benefits of conducting rescues at the population level. We found that 17 of these 24 individuals continued their upstream migration to the spawning grounds. Modeling suggests that recurrent stranding of a similar magnitude without rescue could affect the long-term viability of Green Sturgeon in the Sacramento River. Population viability analyses of rescue predicted a 7% decrease below the population baseline model over 50 years as opposed to 33% without rescue. Despite the mitigated impact to the population with rescue, fish passage improvements should be considered as a long-term goal for preventing population risks at flood control diversions.

AB - A lithium ion battery was modified to replace the conventional sealed lead acid battery used to operate a backpack electrofishing unit. Specifications and performance of the lithium ion battery were compared with those of a lead acid battery of similar capacity. The lithium ion battery was 76% lighter in weight than the lead acid battery, reducing the overall weight of a Smith-Root model 12 backpack electrofishing unit and battery by 55%. Including the cost of a charger and parts to make the battery compatible with an electroshocking unit, the lithium ion battery and charger cost was 26% less than that of the lead acid battery and charger. Bench tests indicated the lithium ion battery provided 91% and 98% of the operating time of the lead acid battery per charge when the settings were 300 V at 90 Hz and 500 V at 90 Hz, respectively. The fuel gauge (battery discharge indicator) on the lithium ion battery, which was absent in the lead acid battery, provided the ability for a user to assess the remaining charge level while in the field. The lithium ion battery provided similar performance with a significant reduction in weight and cost compared with a conventional lead acid battery for backpack electrofishing. The lighter weight of the backpack electrofishing unit using the lithium ion battery can reduce fatigue and the risk of fatigue-related injuries to field crews. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: The Sodium-Cooled Heterogeneous Innovative Burner Reactor (SCHIBR) model created at the University of South Carolina uses heterogeneous minor actinide targets. To improve minor actinide transmutation, a hybrid fuel management scheme is utilized involving initially moderated assemblies on the core periphery followed by a second period of irradiation in a fast flux with the moderating rods removed. A multi-tiered recycling strategy was developed to increase plutonium utilization in the SCHIBR model through the recycle of the driver fuel. An equilibrium fuel cycle was evaluated with the computer code ERANOS to determine the improvements in fuel utilization, reduction in high level waste, and safety of the SCHIBR design. Fuel depletion studies were conducted to determine the composition of input and output streams in order to develop reactor recipes for use in the fuel cycle simulation code, VISION. The once-through SCHIBR model reduces the radiotoxicity of high level waste by 66% of the once-through LWR model after 300 years in storage. The multi-tiered recycling strategy offers improvements over the previous once-through SCHIBR model by reducing the radiotoxicity by 86% after 300 years in storage. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Integrated environmental modeling (IEM) is inspired by modern environmental problems, decisions, and policies and enabled by transdisciplinary science and computer capabilities that allow the environment to be considered in a holistic way. The problems are characterized by the extent of the environmental system involved, dynamic and interdependent nature of stressors and their impacts, diversity of stakeholders, and integration of social, economic, and environmental considerations. IEM provides a science-based structure to develop and organize relevant knowledge and information and apply it to explain, explore, and predict the behavior of environmental systems in response to human and natural sources of stress. During the past several years a number of workshops were held that brought IEM practitioners together to share experiences and discuss future needs and directions. In this paper we organize and present the results of these discussions. IEM is presented as a landscape containing four interdependent elements: applications, science, technology, and community. The elements are described from the perspective of their role in the landscape, current practices, and challenges that must be addressed. Workshop participants envision a global scale IEM community that leverages modern technologies to streamline the movement of science-based knowledge from its sources in research, through its organization into databases and models, to its integration and application for problem solving purposes. Achieving this vision will require that the global community of IEM stakeholders transcend social, and organizational boundaries and pursue greater levels of collaboration. Among the highest priorities for community action are the development of standards for publishing IEM data and models in forms suitable for automated discovery, access, and integration; education of the next generation of environmental stakeholders, with a focus on transdisciplinary research, development, and decision making; and providing a web-based platform for community interactions (e.g., continuous virtual workshops).

AB - Acoustic propagation through a forest edge can produce complicated pressure time histories because of scattering from the trees and changes in the microclimate and ground parameters of the two regions. To better understand these effects, a field experiment was conducted to measure low-frequency acoustic pulses propagating in an open field, a forest, and passing through a forest edge in both directions. Waveforms measured in the open field were simple impulses with very low scattering, whereas waveforms at the edge and within the forest had stronger reverberations after the direct arrival. The direct wave pulse shapes increased in duration in accordance with the path length in the forest, which had an effective flow resistivity 12 to 13 that of the grassy open field. The measurements exhibit different rates of attenuation in the two regions, with relatively lower attenuation in the open field than higher rates in the forest. Decay of SEL transmitted into the forest was 4 dB more per tenfold distance than for outbound transmission. Stronger attenuation in the 1-2 kHz range occurs when propagating into the forest. While the measured meteorological profiles revealed three distinct microclimates, meteorological effects are not sufficient to explain the apparent non-reciprocal propagation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Military installations typically rely on noise complaints to indicate adverse noise environments and often restrict the firing of certain weapons to reduce the number of noise complaints. Using complaints in this manner may also imply that the absence of complaints is an indicator of low community annoyance. The relationship between individual complaints and general community annoyance, however, is currently not established, and it is unknown whether implementing restrictions in reaction to individual complaints is an appropriate or necessary way to reduce community annoyance. This paper looks at whether there are significant differences in reported annoyance to complaint-referenced blast events and general military noise annoyance between those who complain and their non-complaining neighbors. Those who complained were significantly more annoyed to both complaint-referenced blast events and general military noise in comparison to their non-complaining neighbors. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of range management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A computationally efficient algorithm was developed and tested to compensate for the effects of motion on the acoustic signature of a rotorcraft. For target signatures with large spectral peaks that vary slowly in amplitude and have near constant frequency, the time-varying Doppler shift can be tracked and then removed from the data. The algorithm can be used to preprocess data for classification, tracking, and nulling algorithms. The algorithm was tested on rotorcraft data. The average instantaneous frequency of the first harmonic of a rotorcraft was tracked with a fixed-lag smoother. Then, state space estimates of the frequency were used to calculate a time warping that removed the effect of a time-varying Doppler shift from the data. The algorithm was evaluated by analyzing the increase in the amplitude of the harmonics in the spectrum of a rotorcraft. The results depended upon the frequency of the harmonics and the processing interval duration. Under good conditions, the results for the fundamental frequency of the target (∼11 Hz) almost achieved an estimated upper bound. The results for higher frequency harmonics had larger increases in the amplitude of the peaks, but significantly lower than the estimated upper bounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An investigation is made of potential reinforcement to limit debris hazard of masonry facade walls of conventional buildings subjected to blast effects using geotextile fabrics anchored to the floor slabs and beams. Fourteen simulation tests using geotextile and geogrid fabrics were conducted to provide an initial evaluation of the performance of this protective system. The ultimate capacity, load-deflection, including the proposed connections of these retrofit systems were determined and recorded in these tests. The tests were conducted by increasing a uniform load (water pressure) in a 1.83 m diameter chamber. The tensile strength of the materials used in the experiments varied from 65 to 328 N/m. It was concluded from the experiments that the proposed system is a viable and a functional means for preventing propagation of wall debris. The primary parameters affecting its functionality were the tensile strength of the fabric and its anchorage into the conventional structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Social status is associated with the vertical spatial dimension, with people conceptualizing higher social status with higher vertical positions. Two experiments tested whether this association influences relatively real-world decisions about others by asking participants to act as real estate agents, aiding in the relocation of clients who explicitly or implicitly varied in social status. Across experiments, higher status clients were placed into higher elevation housing options. This influence of social status persisted when strategy-aware participants were removed from analysis, and was not influenced by individual differences in social dominance or locus of control. Abstract concepts of social status are understood through associations with vertical space, and these mapping of abstract concepts to concrete percepts prove influential in guiding daily decisions.

AB - The importance of identifying and fostering corporate "capabilities" has been confused with creating competencies. Competencies are unique products or services, often created in the R&D labs, which can penetrate existing markets. Capabilities are the operational ability to deliver those new products and services efficiently, repeatedly and in sufficient volume. Capabilities' and competencies are both required to successfully place a product in the market. These must also be supported by corporate resources to ensure longevity The importance of aligning competencies, capabilities and resources can be explained through the analogy of an axe blade splitting dense wood.

AB - The article discusses the evolution of innovation. In its native form, innovation starts with observation and experience. Someone notices something valuable and repeats the activity to repeat the rewards. This lead to practices that appear to capture the value noticed in observation. Practices, however, are very limited and not immediately extensible to other businesses, activities or products. Therefore, practices are soon extended into principles, which seem to generalize the important aspects of specific practices. When principles derive from historical data, models attempt to structure this knowledge so that it can be extrapolated to future applications. Finally, theory-based practices replace limited observations with limited theories in describing the most appropriate practices.

AB - In June 2002, a high-frequency air–sea momentum system was deployed in the surf zone for 3 days as part of an experiment to quantify air–sea momentum transfer when the wind and wave direction were at angles. The system obtained measurements in the nearshore via a high-resolution Campbell Scientific CSAT3 3D sonic anemometer and five high-frequency saltwater wave staffs. An advantage of the air–sea momentum system is that direct measurements of the atmospheric turbulent fluctuations can be obtained and applied to the calculation of momentum transfer at the air–sea interface. The Campbell Scientific CSAT3 sonic anemometer was postcalibrated under turbulent wind conditions to determine incident wind direction measurements influenced by the geometry of the instrument. Measurement results are compared to a pre-established benchmark, constant tow speed; and the mean wind speed, incident wind direction, and spectral density characteristics are evaluated to resolve specific instrument orientations in which the measurements are corrupted by the head and probe supports of the sonic anemometer. Calibration testing of the sonic anemometer determined that the mean wind speeds are reduced by 16% over a 40° range for incident wind angles of 160°–200° relative to the head of the anemometer. Tilting the anemometer is found to decrease mean wind speed reduction influenced by the geometry of the anemometer. Variations in the measured wind directions were found to be greater than 1° for incident wind angles between 160° and 200° for 0° and 10° of tilt. Spectral characteristics were highly repeatable for all wind angles except for incident wind angles of 180° for 0° and 10° of tilt. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A confined disposal facility (CDF) is being designed for 3.5 M m3 of contaminated sediments dredged from the Indiana Harbor Canal at East Chicago, Ind. The sediment will be placed in two cells enclosed by earthern berms about 9 m tall and cover about 36 ha. The air registration for the facility poses limits on particulate emissions; however, very little is known of the potential for particulate emissions from hydraulically placed dredged material. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to (1) determine temporal wind erodibility of the sediments; (2) estimate potential particulate emissions from wind erosion during CDF operations; and (3) simulate emission control measures that allow the CDF to comply with allowable emissions. A composite sample of Indiana Harbor sediment was placed in outdoor sediment bins at Manhattan, Kan., and variations in sediment wind erodibility parameters were determined over a 22 month period. In general, sediment erodibility increased with freeze/thaw cycling, but decreased during the summer. Next, the Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance and the Primary Consolidation, Secondary Compression and Desiccation of Dredged Fill models were used to determine periods when the CDF cell surfaces would be saturated. Finally, the Wind Erosion Prediction System model was used to estimate potential suspended particulate emissions from the CDF during unsaturated periods. Hydraulic placement of the sediments in the cells will result in a sand bed at the north end of the cells that needs to be stabilized to prevent abrasion of the downwind area. Even with the sand bed stabilized, the simulation results showed that additional erosion control would likely be needed. Snow fences, short barriers, and stabilized strips were simulated as potential erosion controls. The results showed any of these could provide adequate reductions in emissions to meet the target emission levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Estimating reproductive success for birds with precocial young can be difficult because chicks leave nests soon after hatching and individuals or broods can be difficult to track. Researchers often turn to estimating survival during the prefledging period and, though effective, mark-recapture based approaches are not always feasible due to cost, time, and animal welfare concerns. Using a threatened population of Piping Plovers ( Charadrius melodus) that breeds along the Missouri River, we present an approach for estimating chick survival during the prefledging period using long-term (1993–2005), count-based, age-class data. We used a modified catch-curve analysis, and data collected during three 5-day sampling periods near the middle of the breeding season. The approach has several ecological and statistical assumptions and our analyses were designed to minimize the probability of violating those assumptions. For example, limiting the sampling periods to only 5 days gave reasonable assurance that population size was stable during the sampling period. Annual daily survival estimates ranged from 0.825 (SD = 0.03) to 0.931 (0.02) depending on year and sampling period, with these estimates assuming constant survival during the prefledging period and no change in the age structure of the population. The average probability of survival to fledging ranged from 0.126 to 0.188. Our results are similar to other published estimates for this species in similar habitats. This method of estimating chick survival may be useful for a variety of precocial bird species when mark-recapture methods are not feasible and only count-based age class data are available.

AB - RESUMEN. Estimar el éxito reproductivo de aves con polluelos precociales puede ser difícil debido a que los polluelos dejan el nido poco después de eclosionar y los individuos o nidadas pueden ser difíciles de seguir. Los investigadores a menudo estiman la supervivencia durante el periodo pre-volantón y aunque son efectivos, los métodos de marcaje y recaptura no son siempre factibles por razones del costo, tiempo y bienestar del animal. Usando una población amenazada de Charadrius melodus que se reproduce sobre el Río Missouri, presentamos un método para estimar la supervivencia de polluelos durante el periodo pre-volantón usando datos de largo plazo (1993–2005) con clases de edades, basados en conteos. Utilizamos un análisis de curva de captura modificada y datos colectados durante tres periodos de muestreo de cinco días cada uno, cerca del medio de la época reproductiva. Este método tiene algunos supuestos ecológicos y estadísticos y nuestros análisis fueron diseñados para minimizar la probabilidad de violar dichos supuestos. Por ejemplo, limitando los periodos de muestreo a solo cinco días dio el resultado razonable de que el tamaño de la población fue estable durante el periodo de muestreo. Las estimaciones de la supervivencia diaria anual variaron entre 0.825 (DE = 0.03) y 0.931 (0.02), dependiendo del año y periodo de muestreo. Estas estimaciones dependieron de la suposición de una supervivencia constante durante el periodo pre-volantón y de ningún cambio en la estructura de la edad de la población. El promedio de la probabilidad de supervivencia en la etapa pre-volantón varió desde 0.126 hasta 0.188. Nuestros resultados son similares a otras estimaciones publicadas para esta especie en hábitats similares. Este método de estimar la supervivencia de los polluelos podría ser útil para una variedad de especies de aves precociales cuando los métodos de marcaje y recaptura no son factibles y cuando solo están disponibles datos con clases de edades basados en conteos.

AB - A common statistical problem is deciding which of two possible sources, A and B, of a contaminant is most likely the actual source. The situation considered here, based on an actual problem of polychlorinated biphenyl contamination discussed below, is one in which the data strongly supports the hypothesis that source A is responsible. The problem approach here is twofold: One, accurately estimating this extreme probability. Two, since the statistics involved will be used in a legal setting, estimating the extreme probability in such a way as to be as generous as is possible toward the defendant’s claim that the other site B could be responsible; thereby leaving little room for argument when this assertion is shown to be highly unlikely. The statistical testing for this problem is modeled by random variables { X i } and the corresponding sample mean $${\bar{X}} = \frac{1}{n}S_{n},\;S_{n} = {\sum\nolimits_{1}^{n} {X_{i}}},$$ the problem considered is providing a bound ɛ for which $$\hbox{Prob} \left({\bar{X}} \geq a_{0} \right) \leq \varepsilon,$$ for a given number a 0. Under the hypothesis that the random variables { X i } satisfy E( X i ) ≤ μ, for some 0 < μ < 1, statistical tests are given, described as “generous”, because ɛ is maximized. The intent is to be able to reject the hypothesis that a 0 is a value of the sample mean while eliminating any possible objections to the model distributions chosen for the { X i } by choosing those distributions which maximize the value of ɛ for the test used.

AB - A streamflow-driven gas-liquid transfer rate model was developed. This model was developed in terms of total surface renewal rate and gas diffusion coefficient. The total surface renewal rate was considered to be the sum of the surface renewal rates caused by the turbulence from the air-water interface and that from the water-bed interface. A general mixing length formula and a vertical fluctuation velocity formula was developed to formulate the surface renewal rate. Predictions of this model show good agreements with the measurements in previous studies and the predictions of Churchill's, O'Connor-Dobbins', and Owens-Gibbs' formulae. It was indicated in some previous studies that the existing streamflow-driven gas-liquid transfer rate formulae have limited application ranges. The model developed in this study can be applied for all the normal ranges of flow velocity and water depth in natural rivers, which generalizes and simplifies the applications.

AB - BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. People with PD, their families, scientists, health care providers, and the general public are increasingly interested in identifying environmental contributors to PD risk. METHODS: In June 2007, a multidisciplinary group of experts gathered in Sunnyvale, California, USA, to assess what is known about the contribution of environmental factors to PD. RESULTS: We describe the conclusions around which they came to consensus with respect to environmental contributors to PD risk. We conclude with a brief summary of research needs. CONCLUSIONS: PD is a complex disorder, and multiple different pathogenic pathways and mechanisms can ultimately lead to PD. Within the individual there are many determinants of PD risk, and within populations, the causes of PD are heterogeneous. Although rare recognized genetic mutations are sufficient to cause PD, these account for < 10% of PD in the U.S. population, and incomplete penetrance suggests that environmental factors may be involved. Indeed, interplay among environmental factors and genetic makeup likely influences the risk of developing PD. There is a need for further understanding of how risk factors interact, and studying PD is likely to increase understanding of other neurodegenerative disorders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - By comparing the sperm parameters of small rodents trapped at contaminated terrestrial sites and nearby habitat-matched noncontaminated locations, the patent-pending Rodent Sperm Analysis (RSA) method provides a direct health status appraisal for the maximally chemical-exposed mammalian ecological receptor in the wild. RSA outcomes have consistently allowed for as definitive determinations of receptor health as are possible at the present time, thereby streamlining the ecological risk assessment (ERA) process. Here, we describe the unanticipated discovery, at a contaminated US EPA Superfund National Priorities List site, of a population of Hispid cotton rats ( Sigmodon hispidus), with a high percentage of adult males lacking sperm entirely (azoospermia). In light of the RSA method’s role in streamlining ERAs and in bringing contaminated Superfund-type site investigations to closure, we consider the consequences of the discovery. The two matters specifically discussed are (1) the computation of a population’s average sperm count where azoospermia is present and (2) the merits of the RSA method and its sperm parameter thresholds-for-effect when azoospermia is masked in an otherwise apparently healthy rodent population.

AB - Aspects of northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida panhandle) processes and barrier islands that are pertinent to their geomorphologic response are contrasted with the broader knowledge base summarized by SCHWARTZ (1973) and LEATHERMAN (1979, 1985). Salient findings from studies documenting the short-term (storm-induced; timescales of hours, days, and weeks) and long-term (timescales of years, decades, and centuries) response of barrier island systems in the NGOM are synthesized into a conceptual model. The conceptual model illustrates the hypothetical evolution of three barrier island morphologies as they evolve through a typical Category 1-2 hurricane, including poststorm recovery (days to weeks) and long-term evolution (years to decades). Primary factors in barrier island geomorphologic response to storms, regardless of location, are the elevation of the island relative to storm (surge plus setup) elevation, and duration of the storm. Unique aspects of the NGOM barrier islands, compared with knowledge summarized for other barrier types, include (1) storm paths, wind speed, and large bays that create the potential for both Gulf and bayshore erosion and (2) in Louisiana and Mississippi, the potential for loading of the underlying substrate by the barrier island, which, through time, increases consolidation, relative sea level rise, overwash, morphologic change, and migration. We recommend that design of large-scale beach restoration projects incorporate the potential for (1) time-dependent consolidation of the underlying sediment due to project loading and future migration, (2) Gulf and bayshore erosion and overwash, and (3) eolian transport toward the Gulf from north winds.

AB - We used ultrasound imaging and passive integrated transponder (PIT)-tagging programs to assess maturation status and iteroparity patterns in summer-run steelhead (anadromous rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss) of the interior Columbia River Basin (Pacific Northwest, USA). Postspawn kelts examined in downstream fish bypass systems at Columbia River and Snake River dams were disproportionately female (>80%) and majorities were of wild origin, unlike prespawn steelhead at these sites. Annual repeat migration estimates varied from 2.9% to 9.0% for kelts tagged at lower Columbia River dams (n = 2542) and from 0.5% to 1.2% for Snake River kelts (n = 3762). Among-site differences reflected greater outmigration distance and additional dam passage hazards for Snake River kelts. There was also strong evidence for condition-dependent mortality, with returns an order of magnitude higher for good- versus poor-condition kelts. Disproportionately more females and wild fish also returned, providing potentially valuable genetic and demographic benefits for the Columbia River’s threatened steelhead populations. Results overall provide baseline data for evaluating kelt mortality mitigation efforts and basic life history information for steelhead conservation planning. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - L’imagerie ultrasonique et les programmes de marquage transpondeurs intégrés passifs (PIT) nous servent à évaluer le statut de maturation et les patrons d’itéroparité chez les truites arc-en-ciel anadromes (Oncorhynchus mykiss) à montaison estivale du bassin intérieur du Columbia (nord-ouest pacifique, .-U.). Les charognards d’après la fraie examinés dans les systèmes de passes migratoires de dérivation vers l’aval aux barrages des rivières Columbia et Snake sont de façon disproportionnée de sexe féminin (>80 %) et la plupart des individus sont d’origine sauvage, contrairement aux truites arc-en-ciel anadromes à ces mêmes sites avant la fraie. Les estimations de l’importance des migrations annuelles répétées varient de 2,9–9,0 % chez les charognards marqués aux barrages du Columbia inférieur (n = 2542) et de 0,5–1,2 % chez les charognards de la Snake (n = 3762). Les différences entre les sites reflètent la plus grande distance de migration vers la mer et les risques additionnels du passage des barrages pour les charognards de la Snake. Il y a aussi de fortes indications de l’existence d’une mortalité reliée à la condition; en effet, les retours sont dix fois plus abondants chez les charognards en bonne condition que chez ceux en mauvaise condition. De façon disproportionnée, il y a aussi plus de retours de femelles et de poissons sauvages, ce qui apporte potentiellement des bénéfices génétiques et démographiques précieux aux populations menacées de truites arc-en-ciel anadromes du Columbia. Globalement, nos résultats fournissent les données de base nécessaires pour évaluer les efforts de mitigation de la mortalité des charognards, ainsi que des informations démographiques fondamentales pour planifier la conservation de la truite arc-en-ciel anadrome.

AB - Throughout Korea, small mammals are hosts to a number of disease-causing agents that pose a health threat to U.S. and Korean military forces while they conduct field-training exercises. A seasonal rodent-borne disease surveillance program was established at two firing points (FP), FP-10, and FP-60, and conducted over five years from 2001 through 2005 in response to hantavirus cases among U.S. soldiers. The ecology of these sites consisted primarily of tall grasses associated with semi-permanent and temporary water sources (drainage ditches and a small stream) and dry-land agriculture farming. Eight species of rodents and one species of insectivore were collected, including Apodemus agrarius, Micromys minutus, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Tscherskia triton, Microtus fortis, Myodes regulus, and Crocidura lasiura. The striped field mouse, A. agrarius, (primary reservoir for Hantaan virus, the causative agent of Korean hemorrhagic fever), was the most frequently collected, representing 90.6% of the 1,288 small mammals captured at both sites. Reported herein are the ecological parameters, seasonal population densities, and seasonal population characteristics associated with small mammals collected at two military training sites in the Republic of Korea.

AB - Numerical experiments of snow accumulation and depletion were carried out as well as surface energy fluxes over four Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX) sites in Colorado using the Snow Thermal model (SNTHERM) and the Fast All-Season Soil Strength model (FASST). SNTHERM is a multilayer snow model developed to describe changes in snow properties as a function of depth and time, using a one-dimensional mass and energy balance. The model is intended for seasonal snow covers and addresses conditions found throughout the winter, from initial ground freezing in the fall to snow ablation in the spring. It has been used by many researchers over a variety of terrains. FASST is a newly developed one-dimensional dynamic state-of-the-ground model. It calculates the ground’s moisture content, ice content, temperature, and freeze–thaw profiles as well as soil strength and surface ice and snow accumulation/depletion. Because FASST is newer and not as well known, the authors wanted to determine its use as a snow model by comparing it with SNTHERM, one of the most established snow models available. It is demonstrated that even though FASST is only a single-layer snow model, the RMSE snow depth compared very favorably against SNTHERM, often performing better during the accumulation phase. The surface energy fluxes calculated by the two models were also compared and were found to be similar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The spatial variation of melt energy can influence snow cover depletion rates and in turn be influenced by the spatial variability of shortwave irradiance to snow. The spatial variability of shortwave irradiance during melt under uniform and discontinuous evergreen canopies at a U.S. Rocky Mountains site was measured, analyzed, and then compared to observations from mountain and boreal forests in Canada. All observations used arrays of pyranometers randomly spaced under evergreen canopies of varying structure and latitude. The spatial variability of irradiance for both overcast and clear conditions declined dramatically, as the sample averaging interval increased from minutes to 1 day. At daily averaging intervals, there was little influence of cloudiness on the variability of subcanopy irradiance; instead, it was dominated by stand structure. The spatial variability of irradiance on daily intervals was higher for the discontinuous canopies, but it did not scale reliably with canopy sky view. The spatial variation in irradiance resulted in a coefficient of variation of melt energy of 0.23 for the set of U.S. and Canadian stands. This variability in melt energy smoothed the snow-covered area depletion curve in a distributed melt simulation, thereby lengthening the duration of melt by 20%. This is consistent with observed natural snow cover depletion curves and shows that variations in melt energy and snow accumulation can influence snow-covered area depletion under forest canopies.

AB - The local scale observation site (LSOS) is the smallest study site (0.8 ha) of the 2002/03 Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX) and is located within the Fraser mesocell study area. It was the most intensively measured site of the CLPX, and measurements here had the greatest temporal component of all CLPX sites. Measurements made at the LSOS were designed to produce a comprehensive assessment of the snow, soil, and vegetation characteristics viewed by the ground-based remote sensing instruments. The objective of the ground-based microwave remote sensing was to collect time series of active and passive microwave spectral signatures over snow, soil, and forest, which is coincident with the intensive physical characterization of these features. Ground-based remote sensing instruments included frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars operating over multiple microwave bandwidths; the Ground-Based Microwave Radiometer (GBMR-7) operating at channels 18.7, 23.8, 36.5, and 89 GHz; and in 2003, an L-, C-, X- and Ku-band scatterometer radar system. Snow and soil measurements included standard snow physical properties, snow wetness, snow depth transects, and soil moisture. The stem and canopy temperature and xylem sap flux of several trees were monitored continuously. Five micrometeorological towers monitored ambient conditions and provided forcing datasets for 1D snow and soil models. Arrays of pyranometers (0.3–3 μm) and a scanning thermal radiometer (8–12 μm) characterized the variability of radiative receipt in the forests. A field spectroradiometer measured the hyperspectral hemispherical-directional reflectance of the snow surface. These measurements, together with the ground-based remote sensing, provide the framework for evaluating and improving microwave radiative transfer models and coupling them to land surface models. The dataset is archived at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper describes satellite data collected as part of the 2002/03 Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX). These data include multispectral and hyperspectral optical imaging, and passive and active microwave observations of the test areas. The CLPX multispectral optical data include the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), the Landsat Thematic Mapper/Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (TM/ETM+), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR). The spaceborne hyperspectral optical data consist of measurements acquired with the NASA Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) Hyperion imaging spectrometer. The passive microwave data include observations from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) for Earth Observing System (EOS; AMSR-E). Observations from the Radarsat synthetic aperture radar and the SeaWinds scatterometer flown on QuikSCAT make up the active microwave data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The present study was aimed at providing data to be used at predicting exposure-based effects of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) aged in soil on endpoint organisms representing two trophic levels. These data can be used to define criteria or reference values for environmental management and conducting specific risk assessment. Long-term exposure tests were conducted to evaluate sublethal toxicity and uptake of aged soil-based explosives, with TNT as the main contaminant. In these tests, plants were exposed for 55 d, and biomass and explosives residues were determined. Worms were exposed for 28 and 42 d, and biomass, number, and tissue residues were determined. Biomass of Lolium perenne significantly decreased with soil-TNT concentration, and an effective concentration causing a 20% decrease in biomass (EC20) for TNT metabolites of 3.75 mg/kg was calculated. The concentrations of TNT metabolites in shoots and roots were significantly related to concentrations in soil, as were concentrations of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5 triazine (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7- tetrazocine (HMX). The mean bioconcentration factors, indicating the potential of a chemical to accumulate in an organism, were 0.9 for TNT metabolites, 71.8 for RDX, and 12.2 for HMX in L. perenne shoots. Biomass of Eisenia fetida adults significantly decreased with soil-TNT concentration, and an EC20 for TNT of 3.70 mg/kg was calculated. The TNT, RDX, and HMX levels in E. fetida were below detection.

AB - Onshore volume transport (Stokes drift) due to surface gravity waves propagating toward the beach can result in a compensating Eulerian offshore flow in the surf zone referred to as undertow. Observed offshore flows indicate that wave-driven undertow extends well offshore of the surf zone, over the inner shelves of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, and North Carolina. Theoretical estimates of the wave-driven offshore transport from linear wave theory and observed wave characteristics account for 50% or more of the observed offshore transport variance in water depths between 5 and 12 m, and reproduce the observed dependence on wave height and water depth. During weak winds, wave-driven cross-shelf velocity profiles over the inner shelf have maximum offshore flow (1–6 cm s-1) and vertical shear near the surface and weak flow and shear in the lower half of the water column. The observed offshore flow profiles do not resemble the parabolic profiles with maximum flow at middepth observed within the surf zone. Instead, the vertical structure is similar to the Stokes drift velocity profile but with the opposite direction. This vertical structure is consistent with a dynamical balance between the Coriolis force associated with the offshore flow and an along-shelf “Hasselmann wave stress” due to the influence of the earth’s rotation on surface gravity waves. The close agreement between the observed and modeled profiles provides compelling evidence for the importance of the Hasselmann wave stress in forcing oceanic flows. Summer profiles are more vertically sheared than either winter profiles or model profiles, for reasons that remain unclear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A pilot-scale rotating drum biofilter (RDB), which is a novel biofilter design that offers flexible flow-through configurations, was used to treat complex and variable volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, including shock loadings, emanating from paint drying operations at an Army ammunition plant. The RDB was seeded with municipal wastewater activated sludge. Removal efficiencies up to 86% and an elimination capacity of 5.3 g chemical oxygen demand (COD) m-3 · hr-1 were achieved at a filter-medium contact time of 60 sec. Efficiency increased at higher temperatures that promote higher biological activity, and decreased at lower pH, which dropped down to pH 5.5 possibly as a result of carbon dioxide and volatile fatty acid production and ammonia consumption during VOC degradation. In comparison, other studies have shown that a bench-scale RDB could achieve a removal efficiency of 95% and elimination capacity of 331 g COD m-3 · hr-1. Sustainable performance of the pilot-scale RDB was challenged by the intermittent nature of painting operations, which typically resulted in 3-day long shutdown periods when bacteria were not fed. This challenge was overcome by adding sucrose (2 g/L weekly) as an auxiliary substrate to sustain metabolic activity during shutdown periods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Outdoor sound propagation predictions are usually made from averaged, instantaneous, or modeled vertical wind and temperature profiles. Because vertical profiles do not capture the full spatial and temporal variability of the atmosphere, the predictive skill is inherently limited. This study compares bias and root-mean-square (rms) errors for predictions made from the actual mean vertical profiles, approximate vertical profiles based on Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST), and profiles for a windless, neutral atmosphere. The errors are calculated by comparing predictions to "ground-truth" data generated by numerically propagating sound through high-resolution large-eddy simulations of the atmosphere. Predictive error; are found to be similar when actual mean and MOST profiles are used. Assuming a windless, neutral atmosphere leads to a large, positive bias errors in upward refraction, but does not affect skill as much in downward refraction. Analyses are presented for single-frequency signals as well as broadband signals (such as impulse events). It is shown that predictive skill improves as bandwidth is increased, particularly for downwind propagation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Regulations require Army installations to log and investigate complaints about the noise of military training and operations. A number of Army installations have sought to improve the investigation of complaints by installing monitors specifically designed for measuring impulsive sounds, but the relationship between measured impulse sound levels and noise complaints remains ill-defined. A previous analysis sought to define this relationship but was unable to find corresponding noise measurements for approximately one-third of the complaints. A new study, conducted at the same military installation, has made several technical improvements that have increased the correspondence between noise measurements and complaints. This paper describes the improvements and compares initial findings on the relationship between complaints and blast levels to work previously done. This article is a government work and as such, is in the public domain and not subject to copyright. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A sprawling U.S. population continues to spread into the fringes of urban development placing both populations and property in areas that were once largely unoccupied. Population tallies, housing unit totals, and housing values for 1990 and 2000 are examined to determine the extent to which this growth has affected the tornado hazard in northeastern Illinois. The growing town of Plainfield, Ill., located southwest of Chicago, is examined to determine how vulnerability to a tornado impact has changed in the town since an F5 tornado stuck the community in 1990. The population and housing data indicate an increase of 8,629 persons and 3,058 housing units affected if the tornado were to have occurred in 2000 rather than 1990. Estimations of housing value affected by the Plainfield tornado indicate a 50% increase in 2000 compared with 1990 values. In addition to studying the impacts on Plainfield, four other scenarios are examined in suburban Chicago counties using the 1990 Plainfield tornado as a model for a potentially devastating strike. The large increase in total value of homes affected for each scenario highlights the overall increase in wealth throughout the study area, specifically along the urban fringe of development. The physical vulnerability throughout the study area has increased with the rise in population, but the most socially vulnerable areas appear to remain in the older urban centers.

AB - Growth chamber studies were conducted using 55-L aquariums to evaluate the efficacy of the herbicide triclopyr and the fungal pathogen Mycoleptodiscus terrestris, applied alone and in combination against Eurasian watermilfoil. Treatments included 0.15, 0.40, and 1.50 mg acid equivalent (ae)/L triclopyr, 0.08, 0.16, and 0.32 ml/L M. terrestris, combinations of both agents at all rates, and an untreated control. Plants were exposed to all treatments for a 24-h contact time and plant biomass (shoot and roots) was recorded 6 wk after application. For both triclopyr and M. terrestris applied alone, plant control increased with treatment concentration. Compared with untreated plants, 1.50 mg/L triclopyr and 0.32 ml/L M. terrestris reduced Eurasian watermilfoil by 100 and 91%, respectively. Lower doses of herbicide or pathogen were less effective and plant recovery was observed from surviving plant tissues (stems and root crowns). Although M. terrestris at 0.08 ml/L did not significantly reduce shoot or root biomass and 0.15 mg/L triclopyr provided only 53% control of plants, combining both agents at these rates reduced Eurasian watermilfoil by 90%. Results demonstrated that integrating low doses of triclopyr with an indigenous pathogen, M. terrestris, can improve control of Eurasian watermilfoil. Lower use rates of triclopyr would minimize impacts to sensitive nontarget vegetation, reduce application costs, and may minimize impacts of label-imposed use restrictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Useful system endurance tests require operating a system in settings similar to operational environments. However, existing test facilities may not be good replicas of the operational environment, especially for systems with long life cycles that are being used in new and unforeseen situations. Because constructing new test facilities can be expensive and time-consuming, it is desirable to use the existing test infrastructure to replicate the operational environment as closely as possible. This study presents an optimization model that determines the most appropriate amount of testing to conduct using each existing test facility. A multi-objective model is also presented, and the application of this work to two military vehicle tests is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The model CASC2D-SED was applied to the Goodwin Creek experimental watershed in Mississippi to define erosion model response to raster-based grid cell sizes. The model was parameterized at a 30 m grid, then calibrated and validated to three representative thunderstorms. The simulated hydrographs replicated the measurements of peak discharge, runoff volume, and time to peak. The model also calculated sediment yields within ±50% of the field measurements. Resampling the watershed digital elevation model at scales from 30 m to 330 m reduced the land surface slopes and changed the channel topology. In general, very good modeling results are obtained at grid sizes of 30 m and 90 m, which is comparable to the plot sizes of the universal soil loss equation. At grid sizes coarser than 150 m, the sediment source areas became less appropriately depicted and the calculated sediment delivery ratios became unrealistically high. Grid sizes smaller than 150 m are recommended for proper watershed simulation of upland erosion and sediment yield. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Invading exotics typically face new competitors and an absence of specialized herbivores in their new ranges. Biological control attempts to reunite invasive weeds with coevolved herbivores and restoration can reduce the return of invaders by maximizing competition from native species. The integration of both approaches is seldom examined in detail, although the two should complement each other. We investigated the potential to suppress an important invasive plant, Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense [L.] Scop.), by integrating biological control and competition from two native grasses frequently used in rangeland restoration. We evaluated the impacts of Ceutorhynchus litura F. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a weevil used for Canada thistle biological control, alone and in combination with either needle and thread grass (Hesperostipa comata [Trin. & Rupr.] Barkworth) or alkali sacaton (Sporobolus airoides [Torr.] Torr.) in greenhouse competitive plantings. Weevil herbivory reduced root, but not shoot, biomass of Canada thistle. Competition from H. comata did not reduce biomass of thistles, but combinations of the weevil and H. comata greatly reduced thistle root biomass. S. airoides suppressed Canada thistle root biomass independent of weevils. Weevils had a positive indirect effect on the cool-season grass H. comata, presumably by reducing the competitive ability of thistles, but had no effect on biomass of the warm-season grass, S. airoides. Benefits of weevil presence as an augmentation of grass competition appear to depend on appropriate timing, and weevils provided the most benefit to the cool-season competitor. Our results suggest that restoration efforts can be complemented with insect biocontrol agents, although the timing of impact will depend on the particular weed species, grass competitors, and biocontrol insect agents involved.

El control biológico intenta reunir las malas hierbas con herbívoros co-evolucionados y la restauración puede reducir el retorno de invasores por lograr maximizar la competencia de especies nativas. La integración de ambos métodos es rara vez examinado en detalle, aunque los dos se deberían complementar entre sí. Nosotros investigamos el potencial para suprimir una importante planta invasora, Cardo triguero de Canadá (Cirsium arvense [L.] Scop.) mediante la integración del control biológico y la competencia de dos gramas nativas utilizadas frecuentemente en la restauración de pastizales. Nosotros evaluamos los impactos del Ceutorhynchus litura F. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), un gorgojo utilizado para el control biológico del cardo triguero de Canadá, solo y en combinación con cualquiera de la "needle and thread grass" (Hesperostipa comata [Trin. & Rupr.] Barkworth) ó "alkali sacaton" (Sporobolus airoides [Torr.] Torr.) en plantaciones competitivas de invernadero. La herbivoría del gorgojo redujo la raíz pero no el crecimiento de biomasa del cardo triguero de Canadá. La competencia de H. comata no redujo la biomasa de los cardos, pero las combinaciones del gorgojo y H. comata redujeron grandemente la biomasa de los cardos. Probolus airoides reprimió la biomasa en la raíz del cardo de Canadá independiente de los gorgojos. Los gorgojos tuvieron un efecto positivo indirecto en la hierba de temporada fría H. comata, se supone que por la reducción de la habilidad competitiva de los cardos, pero no tuvo efecto sobre la hierba de temporada cálida, S. airoides. Los beneficios de la presencia del gorgojo como el aumento de la competencia de hierba parecen depender del tiempo apropiado y los gorgojos proveen muchos beneficios al competidor en la temporada fría. Nuestros resultados sugieren que los esfuerzos de restauración pueden ser complementados con agentes entomológicos de biocontrol, aunque el tiempo adecuado del impacto dependerá en las especies particulares de hierba mala, hierbas competidoras y los agentes entomológicos de biocontrol involucrados.

AB - Over the last quarter-century, hurricane surge has been assumed to be primarily a function of maximum storm wind speed, as might be estimated from the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale. However, Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that wind speed alone cannot reliably describe surge. Herein it is shown that storm size plays an important role in surge generation, particularly for very intense storms making landfall in mildly sloping regions. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, analysis of the historical hurricane record evidenced no clear correlation between surge and storm size, and consequently little attention was given to the role of size in surge generation. In contrast, it is found herein that, for a given intensity, surge varies by as much as 30% over a reasonable range of storm sizes. These findings demonstrate that storm size must be considered when estimating surge, particularly when predicting socioeconomic and flood risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Treatability tests were conducted on soil from the reservoir No. 2 burning ground at the former Plum Brook Ordnance Works in Sandusky, Ohio. This soil is contaminated with explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and 2,4/2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB, Aroclor 1260), as well as lead. Lime treatment (alkaline hydrolysis) and persulfate oxidation were tested individually and in combination to treat explosives and PCBs. Lime treatment removed 98% of TNT, 75% of DNT, and 80% of PCBs. Similar removal levels were found for persulfate treatment as well as lime followed by persulfate. The percentage of contaminant removal was found to be independent of initial contaminant concentrations. Treatments of the most contaminated soil did not meet the preliminary remediation goals for explosives or PCBs but would allow for disposal in a nonhazardous waste landfill. Treatment of soil with lower initial concentrations easily met the residential (most stringent) preliminary remediation goals of 16, 61, and 0.22 mg kg-1 for TNT, 2,6-DNT, and PCB (Aroclor 1260), respectively. Neither alkaline hydrolysis nor persulfate oxidation transferred more than 0.02% of the lead from the soil into the reaction waters. Lead was successfully stabilized via phosphate addition.

AB - Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), a compound used widely in bursting-type munitions, is a concern for the U.S. Department of Defense because it has been detected in soil and groundwater at military installations. Dermal absorption of 14C-RDX from acetone solutions and from two different soils was studied using excised human skin (from surgery) in flow-through diffusion cells. RDX in acetone (10 μL) or in soils (10 mg) was applied to the epidermal surface of the skin (0.64 cm2) and allowed to transverse the skin and become dissolved in a reservoir of receptor fluid that was maintained in contact with the dermal surface. The reservoir was of the flow-through type and receptor fluid was pumped at a rate of 1.5 mL/h. Receptor fluid was collected every 6 h for 24 h. Because the bioavailability of a chemical from soils depends on soil composition, dermal absorption of 14C-RDX from both a low-carbon (1.9%) and a high-carbon (9.5%) soil was assessed. At the conclusion of the experiment, the RDX remaining on the skin was washed with soap and water using cotton swabs, and the radioactivity present in washings was determined. The stratum corneum was removed from the deeper epidermis and radioactivity found in that layer was not considered in calculations of dermal absorption. The dermal absorption of RDX was relatively low. Only about 5.7 ± 1.9% of the RDX that had been applied in acetone was found in the skin (epidermis and dermis) (3.2 ± 1.9) and receptor fluid (2.5 ± 1.8) combined (over the full 24-h duration of the study). The levels of RDX found in the skin layers were stratum corneum 2.1%, epidermis 0.83%, and dermis 0.45%. The total recovery of applied dose (receptor fluid, skin, and washings) was about 80%. The extent of RDX absorption from soil was even lower than from acetone. Approximately 2.6 ± 1.1% of the RDX applied in the low-carbon soil and 1.4 ± 0.41% applied in the high-carbon soil was found in receptor fluid and skin in 24 h. The total recovery of the applied dose (receptor fluid, skin, and washings) was about 87% for the low-carbon soil and 94% for the high-carbon soil. Thus, the dermal absorption of RDX from soils was reduced considerably when compared with absorption from acetone and absorption was lower in the high-carbon soil than in the low-carbon soil.

AB - Carbon nanotubes (NTs) may be among the most useful engineered nanomaterials for structural applications but could be difficult to study in ecotoxicological evaluations using existing tools relative to nanomaterials with a lower aspect ratio. Whereas the hydrophobicity and van der Waals interactions of NTs may suggest aggregation and sedimentation in aquatic systems, consideration regarding how engineered surface modifications influence their environmental fate and toxicology is needed. Surface modifications (e.g., functional groups and coatings) are intended to create conditions to make NTs dispersible in aqueous suspension, as required for some applications. In the present study, column stability and settling experiments indicated that raw, multiwalled NTs (MWNTs) settled more rapidly than carbon black and activated carbon particles, suggesting sediment as the ultimate repository. The presence of functional groups, however, slowed the settling of MWNTs (increasing order of stability: hydroxyl > carboxyl > raw), especially in combination with natural organic matter (NOM). Stabilized MWNTs in high concentrations of NOM provided relevance for water transport and toxicity studies. Aqueous exposures to raw MWNTs decreased Ceriodaphnia dubia viability, but such effects were not observed during exposure to functionalized MWNTs (>80 mg/L). Sediment exposures of the amphipods Leptocheirus plumulosus and Hyalella azteca to different sizes of sediment-borne carbon particles at high concentration indicated mortality increased as particle size decreased, although raw MWNTs induced lower mortality (median lethal concentration [LC50], 50 to >264 g/kg) than carbon black (LC50, 18-40 g/kg) and activated carbon (LC50, 12-29 g/kg). Our findings stress that it may be inappropriate to classify all NTs into one category in terms of their environmental regulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Embankment slopes range from 10 to 45% with median stone sizes ranging from 23.9 to 104.2 mm (from 0.94 to 4.1 in.). The database was analyzed, yielding a unique expression in which the median size of a round-shaped stone can be predicted as a function of the unit discharge, embankment slope, and coefficient of uniformity. It was determined that the requisite round-shaped stones range from 5 to 42% larger than angular stones to stabilize the riprap layer for similar flow conditions with unit flows of 0.2 cm/s and slopes of 40%. The maximum deviation between rounded and angular-shaped stone may approach 70% as flow and bed conditions are extrapolated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In military and civilian environments, serious cutaneous damage can result from thermal burns or exposure to the blistering agent sulfur mustard [bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide; HD]. Similar therapies have historically been used to treat cutaneous thermal and HD injuries; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms of tissue damage and wound healing may differ between the types of burns. Using microarray analysis, this study assessed the transcriptional responses to cutaneous HD and thermal injury at 48 hours post-exposure to identify molecular networks and genes associated with each type of skin injury. Ventral abdominal sites on each of 4 weanling swine were exposed to 400 μl of undiluted HD or a heated brass rod (70°C) for 8 minutes and 45-60 seconds, respectively. At 48 hours post-exposure, total RNA was isolated from excised skin samples and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Porcine Genome Arrays (containing 20,201 genes). Both HD and thermal exposure promoted significant transcriptional changes where 290 and 267 transcripts were increased and 197 and 707 transcripts were decreased with HD and thermal exposure, respectively. HD- and thermal-injured skin expressed 149 increased and 148 decreased common transcripts. Comparison of the 10 most significantly changed biological functions for HD and thermal exposures identified 7 overlapping functional groups. Canonical pathways analysis revealed 15 separate signaling pathways containing transcripts associated with both HD and thermal exposure. Within these pathways, 5 transcripts (CXCR4, FGFR2, HMOX1, IL1R1, and TLR4) were identified as known targets for existing phase II/III clinical trial or Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs. This study is the first to directly assess transcriptional changes in porcine skin subjected to HD or thermal injury over the same time period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), a commonly used military explosive, was detected as a contaminant of soil and water at Army facilities and ranges. This study was conducted to determine the relative oral bioavailability of RDX in contaminated soil and to develop a method to derive bioavailability adjustments for risk assessments using rodents. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats preimplanted with femoral artery catheters were dosed orally with gelatin capsules containing either pure RDX or an equivalent amount of RDX in contaminated soils from Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP) (2300 μ g/g of soil) or Fort Meade (FM) (670 μ g/g of soil). After dosing rats, blood samples were collected from catheters at 2-h intervals (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) and at 24 and 48 h. RDX levels in the blood were determined by gas chromatography. The results show that the peak absorption of RDX in blood was 6 h for neat RDX (1.24 mg/kg) and for RDX from contaminated soil (1.24 mg/kg) of LAAP. Rats dosed with RDX-contaminated FM soil (0.2 mg/kg) showed peak levels of RDX in blood at 6 h, whereas their counterparts that received an identical dose (0.2 mg/kg) of neat RDX showed peak absorption at 4 h. The blood levels of absorbed RDX from LAAP soil were about 25% less than for neat RDX, whereas the bioavailability of RDX from FM soils was about 15% less than that seen in rats treated with neat RDX (0.2 mg/kg). The oral bioavailability in rats fed RDX in LAAP soil and the FM soil was reduced with the neat compound but decrease in bioavailability varied with the soil type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The ability to accurately simulate sediment transport processes in natural and engineered systems is crucial to both engineers and scientists. Many researchers have worked on the development of methods that yield reliable predictions of both sediment transport and morphological change with a minimum of computational burden, so that the long prototype time scales necessary to appropriately investigate these processes can be simulated within a reasonable amount of time. This includes the development of tools for approximating the complex behavior of the sediment concentration in the water column. In this technical note, the classic equilibrium sediment profile first introduced by Rouse is revisited. Following the development of the Rouse profile introduced by Einstein, a generalized nonequilibrium sediment concentration profile is generated. The principal assumption is that the convective term of the nonequilibrium vertical sediment flux can be approximated with the relationship that arises from purely convective transport. The method is compared to numerical solutions for depositional profiles, and appears to yield promising results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Aims: To determine the wet and dry density of spores of Bacillus anthracis and compare these values with the densities of other Bacillus species grown and sporulated under similar conditions. Methods and Results: We prepared and studied spores from several Bacillus species, including four virulent and three attenuated strains of B. anthracis, two Bacillus species commonly used to simulate B. anthracis ( Bacillus atrophaeus and Bacillus subtilis) and four close neighbours ( Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus stearothermophilus), using identical media, protocols and instruments. We determined the wet densities of all spores by measuring their buoyant density in gradients of Percoll and their dry density in gradients of two organic solvents, one of high and the other of low chemical density. The wet density of different strains of B. anthracis fell into two different groups. One group comprised strains of B. anthracis producing spores with densities between 1·162 and 1·165 g ml−1 and the other group included strains whose spores showed higher density values between 1·174 and 1·186 g ml−1. Both Bacillus atrophaeus and B. subtilis were denser than all the B. anthracis spores studied. Interestingly and in spite of the significant differences in wet density, the dry densities of all spore species and strains were similar. In addition, we correlated the spore density with spore volume derived from measurements made by electron microscopy analysis. There was a strong correlation ( R2 = 0·95) between density and volume for the spores of all strains and species studied. Conclusions: The data presented here indicate that the two commonly used simulants of B. anthracis, B. atrophaeus and B. subtilis were considerably denser and smaller than all B. anthracis spores studied and hence, these simulants could behave aerodynamically different than B. anthracis. Bacillus thuringiensis had spore density and volume within the range observed for the various strains of B. anthracis. The clear correlation between wet density and volume of the B. anthracis spores suggest that mass differences among spore strains may be because of different amounts of water contained within wet dormant spores. Significance and Impact of the Study: Spores of nonvirulent Bacillus species are often used as simulants in the development and testing of countermeasures for biodefense against B. anthracis. The similarities and difference in density and volume that we found should assist in the selection of simulants that better resemble properties of B. anthracis and, thus more accurately represent the performance of countermeasures against this threat agent where spore density, size, volume, mass or related properties are relevant.

AB - The article reports on the issue whether the parameters and data collected by the rawinsonde instrumentation may be important to climate variability with regards to high-altitude moisture. Despite the little importance of high-altitude moisture to operational forecasting, it is significant in radiation transfer calculations that affect climate model physics which was discovered to be missing from routine rawinsonde data assimilation for 2006. The rawinsonde coded reports of the World Meteorological Organization from international sites which were using Vaisala rawinsonde systems were affected by this missing parameter. Technological advancements in radiosonde hygristor design have made accurate moisture measurements but the upgrade was not able to meet its target.

AB - Overharvest of wild Echinacea species root has been a significant concern to the herbal industry. Harvesters of wild Echinacea angustifolia showed us that even after harvesting the top 15 to 20 cm of root, some plants resprout. We marked locations of harvested plants at sites in Kansas and Montana and reexamined them two years later to see if they resprouted from remaining root reserves. Approximately 50% of the roots resprouted at both Kansas and Montana sampling sites, despite droughty weather conditions in Montana. The length of root harvested significantly affected the ability of the plant to resprout. Those plants that were more shallowly harvested and had less root length removed were more likely to resprout. These data indicate that echinacea stands can recover over time from intensive harvest if periods of non-harvest occur. Our echinacea harvest study emphasizes that the entire biology of medicinal plants must be considered when evaluating their conservation status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Aboveground Hemiptera and Orthoptera communities were compared among three native and three restored mesic tallgrass prairies along the Platte River in central Nebraska to assess both the relative success of restored sites and the relationship between insect and plant communities. Hemiptera and Orthoptera were sampled using sweep nets in early June, mid-July, and mid-August 2000. Plant species composition was assessed in early June and mid-August. A total of 89 Auchenorrhyncha (71 Cicadellidae, 15 Fulgoroidea, and 3 Membracidae) and 23 orthopterans (15 Acrididae and 8 Tettigoniidae) were collected. Eighty-five plant species were observed in combined study sites. Shannon diversity was significantly higher at restored prairie for Cicadellidae ( H′= 1.38), Fulgoroidea ( H′= 0.796), and Membracidae ( H′= 0.290), which comprised the majority of individual insects collected, but significantly higher at native prairie for Acrididae ( H′= 0.560) and Tettigoniidae ( H′= 0.480) ( p≤ 0.05). Species richness was comparable except for Acrididae which were significantly higher in restored prairie. Density of insects generally followed species diversity but was only significantly higher in restored areas for Membracidae. The number of remnant-dependent species collected was comparable for both native prairie ( n= 15) and restored prairie ( n= 15). These results suggest that, at least for Hemiptera, differences in insect communities between native and restored prairie may best be explained by the presence of insect host plants rather than by whether a site is native or restored.

AB - The article examines the impact of nanomaterials on life cycle assessment (LCA) techniques. First, unlike other types of materials, nanomaterials have no standard specification among nanomaterial suppliers, which leads to varying concentrations of metal catalyst. Second, there is no clear standard by which mass concentration drives toxicity at the nanoscale level. Third, the level of experimentation with nanomaterials has resulted in a rapid expansion of potential end-use applications. Fourth, LCA for nanomaterials will result to uncertainty.

AB - The purpose of this study was to predict the uplift force during floods on confining layers that overlay extensive horizontal confined aquifers that intersect a large river in response to the water level changes that occur with time in a flooding river. Transient flow of water through the confined aquifer was described by a diffusion type of equation with a boundary condition at the river in which the river head varied with time. The transient head distribution developed from the unsteady flow model applied to the aquifer was compared with the hydraulic head distributions obtained from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers steady-state flow model and a finite-element seepage model. This study concluded that the transient flow model has the potential to analyze time lag in head development, and to predict the seepage condition and heaving potential at various times and distances landside of a levee during a flood cycle, but additional case histories are needed to justify widespread use of the model.

AB - Alluvial fans are continuously being developed for residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural uses in southern California. Development and alteration of alluvial fans need to consider the possibility of mud and debris flows from upstream mountain watersheds affected by fires. Accurate prediction of sediment yield (or hyper-concentrated sediment yield) is essential for the design, operation, and maintenance of debris basins to safeguard properly the general populace. This paper presents a model for the prediction of sediment yields that result from a combination of fire and subsequent storm events. The watersheds used in this analysis are located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in southern California. A multiple regression analysis is first utilized to establish a fundamental statistical relationship for sediment yield as a function of relief ratio, drainage area, maximum 1-h rainfall intensity and fire factor using 45 years of data (1938-1983). In addition, a method for multi-sequence sediment yield prediction under fire conditions was developed and calibrated using 17 years of sediment yield, fire, and precipitation data for the period 1984-2000. After calibration, this model was verified by applying it to provide a prediction of the sediment yields for the 2001-2002 fire events in southern California. The findings indicate a strong correlation between the estimated and measured sediment yields. The proposed method for sequence sediment yield prediction following fire events can be a useful tool to schedule cleanout operations for debris basins and to develop an emergency response strategy for the southern California region where plentiful sediment supplies exist and frequent fires occur.

AB - Since World War I, trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been the most commonly used explosive. Environmental contamination associated with synthesis, manufacture of weapons, and use during training exercises has been extensive, with soil concentrations reaching 145,000 mg/kg. Some of these areas include habitats for amphibian species. Earlier studies have shown that salamanders dermally absorb TNT from soil. To ascertain what soil concentrations of TNT are toxic to amphibians, red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) were exposed to one of five concentrations of TNT in soil for 28 d and evaluated for indicators of toxicity. A total of 100 salamanders were randomly sorted by weight and assigned to target TNT concentrations in soil of either 3,000, 1,500, 750, 325, or 0 mg/kg dry weight. Food consisted of uncontaminated flightless Drosophila melanogaster. Survival was reduced in salamanders exposed to 1,500 and 3,000 mg/kg by 10 and 55%, respectively. Most mortality/morbidity occurred within the first week of exposure. Salamanders had a reduction in hemoglobin at 750 mg/kg or greater and a reduction in red blood cell concentration at 1,500 mg/kg or greater. Food consumption was affected in salamanders at 750 mg/kg or greater; a reduction in body mass and liver glycogen content also occurred at and above this concentration. Splenic congestion also was observed in salamanders from these groups. These data suggest that soil TNT concentrations of 373 ± 41.0 mg/kg or greater result in reduced body mass, reduced feed intake, and hematological effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A proposal for facilitating the downstream migration of juvenile fish at The Dalles Dam, Ore. calls for blocking the upper 12.3 m of turbine intakes by J-shaped steel panels (blocked trashracks). These trashracks are expected to reduce velocity near the powerhouse that is responsible for entraining juveniles into the turbine intake flow. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model was used to investigate the forebay hydraulics for the existing and proposed configurations of the intakes. Velocity data from a 1:40 scale physical model and a field program were utilized for model validation. In general, agreements between computed velocities and data were within the variability of field measurements. The model results confirmed the development of low velocity zones adjacent to the powerhouse. Further, the flow field created by the proposed trashracks could aid juveniles in swimming to the downstream end of the powerhouse where the fish bypass system is located. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The present study was undertaken to investigate the miotic potency of soman vapor in the rat, as well as gender differences in the miotic response to soman vapor that have been reported previously for other nerve agents. The results of the present study demonstrate that the miotic potency of soman vapor is significantly less than that of other nerve agents, and that female rats are 2.5-3.0 times more sensitive to soman vapor than male rats. The results also demonstrate that ocular acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activities differ between males and females, although this difference is not likely large enough to account for the observed gender difference.

AB - Aim: To determine the stability and variability in concentration of spore suspensions of Bacillus anthracis (BA) spore suspensions by comparing different methods of enumeration and to detect changes, if any, under different storage conditions. Methods and Results: Plate and microscope counts were compared to measuring the genomic equivalents based on DNA content BA spore suspensions. We developed chemical methods to extract spore DNA and extra-spore (ES) DNA. DNA mass was determined by gel electrophoresis and QPCR assays were developed using the markers on the chromosome (rpoB) and the pXO1 plasmid (pag). The plate counts and microscope counts were very stable (for up to 900 days). The effect of freezing and the presence of additives in samples were tested for up to 300 days, and the results indicated that the additives tested and freezing did not decrease the viability or microscope counts. Conclusions: Bacillus anthracis spore suspensions can be stored for long periods of time without significant loss of viability or clumping. The content of ES DNA was variable and changed with time. Significant and Impact of the Study: The study shows that BA spore suspensions can be developed for reference materials providing a uniform basis for comparing detection equipment and results from different laboratories.

AB - The effects of atmospheric turbulence on munition target scatter are determined from numerical simulations of ballistic trajectories through many realizations of realistic simulated turbulent wind fields. A technique is evaluated for correcting for the effects of turbulence on ballistic testing procedures by using a line of sonic anemometer measurements taken along the trajectory path. The metric used to evaluate the correction is the difference between the target impact scatter produced with and without the use of the anemometers in the trajectory calculations. The improvement in the testing procedure as measured by this metric is determined as a function of the number of sonic anemometers in the line and the sonic averaging time interval. The performance of the simulations is also compared with data from a field test for a standard small-caliber munition, and the predicted and observed target scatter are in good qualitative agreement, supporting the feasibility of the approach.

AB - Centrifuge modeling of the 17th Street Canal and Orleans Canal North levees was performed in this study. During hurricane Katrina the levees on the 17th Street Canal failed, leading to breaches in the outfall canal in the city. Two mechanisms were observed in the centrifuge modeling that could cause a breach. First, a water-filled crack formed in front of the floodwall as the water in the canal rose above the top of the levee. The levees on the 17th Street Canal, which were supported on clay foundations, failed when this cracking led to a translational (sliding) failure in the clay layer commencing at the toe of the floodwall. The levees at Orleans Canal North, where failure did not occur, were also modeled to demonstrate that the model tests could successfully simulate failure and nonfailure conditions. The centrifuge model tests identified the importance of the crack formation in relation to the stability of the floodwall. These tests also confirmed that levee geometry, floodwall depth of penetration, and the underlying soil profile were all critical to the performance of the system under flood loading.

AB - The geologic history of the New Orleans area significantly influences the engineering properties of the foundation soils beneath the levees. Geologic and engineering data gathered from the levee breaches identify a spatially complex geomorphic landscape, caused by Holocene sea level rise, lateral changes in depositional environments, development of Mississippi River delta lobes, and the distributary channels associated with delta development. Overlying the Pleistocene surface beneath New Orleans are predominantly fine-grained, shallow water sediments associated with bay sound (or estuarine), nearshore-gulf, sandy beach, lacustrine, interdistributary, and paludal (marsh and swamp) environments. These environments define the New Orleans area history during the Holocene and comprise the levee foundation beneath the failure areas. A barrier beach ridge is present in the subsurface along the southern shore of Lake Ponchartrain, which blocked the filling of the lake with fluvial-deltaic sediments. This buried beach impacted the supply and texture of sediment being deposited by advancing distributary channels and influenced the engineering properties of these soils. Marsh and swamp soils beneath the failure area at the 17th Street Canal are much thicker in comparison to those beneath the London Avenue Canal failures because of the influence of the beach complex, and are thickest in the Industrial Canal area. Additionally, human activities in the New Orleans area during historic time contributed to the spatial complexity and affected the engineering properties of the foundation soils. These activities include construction of drainage and navigation canals, groundwater pumping, hydraulic filling of the Lake Ponchartrain lake front, and construction of levees to prevent river flooding. Human activities, combined with the geologic setting and subsidence in this region, are responsible for the unique landscape that was impacted by Hurricane Katrina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. The effects of the hurricane were particularly devastating in the city of New Orleans. Most of the damage was due to the failure of the levee system that surrounds the city to protect it from flooding. This paper presents the results of centrifuge models conducted at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers simulating the behavior of the levees at London Avenue North and South that failed during Hurricane Katrina. Those levees failed without being overtopped by the storm surge. Also included are the results of a centrifuge model of one levee section at Orleans Canal South, which did not fail during the hurricane. The key factor of the failure mechanism of the London Avenue levees was the formation of a gap between the flooded side of the levee and the sheetpile. This gap triggered a reduction of the strength at the foundation of the protected side of the levee. The results are fully consistent with field observations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A study was performed to determine average inhaled carbon dioxide (FICO2) concentrations of multiple respirators using unmanned test methods, and to compare results among test procedures to determine whether they could be used interchangeably. Respirator experiments were performed according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (NFICO2), standard European (ENFICO2), and a modified method of the European test (BFICO2) using full-facepiece air-purifying respirators and one air-purifying escape respirator. Bland-Altman statistics for determination of limits of agreement were applied to assess agreement among the various test methods. A considerable lack of agreement was found between NFICO2 and ENFICO2 methods and between BFICO2 and NFICO2 methods for average FICO2. The modified EN136 method produced FICO2 averages about 0.13% to 0.23% above unmodified EN136 values, but the agreement between methods was generally acceptable. These results demonstrate that NIOSH and European unmanned test methods for determining respirator average FICO2 concentrations produce different results for like respirators. However, the findings suggest that the ENFICO2 and BFICO2 unmanned methods could be used interchangeably for quantifying respirator FICO2 concentrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Many “natural” areas are exposed to military or recreational off-road vehicles. The interactive effects of different types of vehicular disturbance on vegetation have rarely been examined, and it has been proposed that some vegetation types are less susceptible to vehicular disturbance than others. At Fort Riley, Kansas, we experimentally tested how different plant community types changed after disturbance from an M1A1 Abrams tank driven at different speeds and turning angles during different seasons. The greatest vegetation change was observed because of driving in the spring in wet soils and the interaction of turning while driving fast (vegetation change was measured with Bray-Curtis dissimilarity). We found that less vegetation change occurred in communities with high amounts of native prairie vegetation than in communities with high amounts of introduced C3 grasses, which is the first experimental evidence we are aware of that suggests plant communities dominated by introduced C3 grasses changed more because of vehicular disturbance than communities dominated by native prairie grasses. We also found that vegetation changed linearly with vehicular disturbance intensity, suggesting that at least initially there was no catastrophic shift in vegetation beyond a certain disturbance intensity threshold. Overall, the intensity of vehicular disturbance appeared to play the greatest role in vegetation change, but the plant community type also played a strong role and this should be considered in land use planning. The reasons for greater vegetation change in introduced C3 grass dominated areas deserve further study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The U.S. Army has been using the day-night average sound level (DNL) to manage the community noise impact from heavy weapons noise since the late 1970's. In this case, the DNL is C-weighted as recommended by the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council Committee on Hearing, Bioacoustics and Biomechanics (CHABA). CHABA's recommendation was justified by the fact that C-weighting (originally developed for the loudness of intense sounds) measures lower frequency sound energy in large guns which is otherwise missed by A-weighting. When the CHABA methodology was first adopted, there was relatively little night firing, but, today, night vision technology makes firing during darkness an absolute necessity for military readiness. Recognizing that the 10-dB penalty incorporated in the DNL methodology was not intended to predict sleep disturbance and that sleep disturbance may be a function of discrete noise event levels rather than annualaverage noise levels, the U.S.Army Engineer Research and Development Center initiated a project to measure sleep disturbance among people living near tank gunnery ranges.A first step in this project was to evaluate whether a commonlyused instrument for measuring sleep disturbance, the actimeter, would be sensitive to awakenings from blast noise. After preliminary screening of three designs of actimeter, the preferred design was tested in cooperation with the Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine with subjects sleeping inside the Army Research Laboratory's Hostile Environment Simulator. Subjects were exposed to nighttime blasts at two linear peak sound pressure levels (110 dB and 120 dB). The results confirmed that the preferred design would be a reliable and rugged instrument for the actual field study of awakening from live fire.

AB - Landscape genetic approaches offer the promise of increasing our understanding of the influence of habitat features on genetic structure. We assessed the genetic diversity of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler ( Dendroica chrysoparia) across their breeding range in central Texas and evaluated the role of habitat loss and fragmentation in shaping the population structure of the species. We determined genotypes across nine microsatellite loci of 109 individuals from seven sites representing the major breeding concentrations of the species. No evidence of a recent population bottleneck was found. Differences in allele frequencies were highly significant among sites. The sampled sites do not appear to represent isolated lineages requiring protection as separate management units, although the amount of current gene flow is insufficient to prevent genetic differentiation. Measures of genetic differentiation were negatively associated with habitat connectivity and the percentage of forest cover between sites, and positively associated with geographic distance and the percentage of agricultural land between sites. The northernmost site was the most genetically differentiated and was isolated from other sites by agricultural lands. Fragmentation of breeding habitat may represent barriers to dispersal of birds which would pose no barrier to movement during other activities such as migration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Contamination of the soil with the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been found at military sites, many of which are habitats used by reptiles. To provide data useful in assessing ecological risk for reptilian species, acute, subacute, and subchronic oral toxicity studies were conducted with the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). Oral median lethal dose (LD50) values for TNT in corn oil were 1,038 and 1,579 mg/kg of body weight for male and female lizards, respectively. Overt signs of toxicity included chromaturia, abdominal enlargement, and tremors. A 14-d subacute study followed in which male lizards were orally dosed with TNT (corn oil) at 0, 33, 66, 132, 263, 525, and 1,050 mg/kg of body weight each day. Clinical signs of toxicity, while similar to the LD50 study, were more subtle and noted in lizards receiving TNT amounts of at least 66 mg/kg/d. Chromaturia was an early consistent sign, often preceding the onset of adverse effects. Male lizards in the 60-d subchronic study were dosed at 0, 3, 15, 25, 35, and 45 mg/kg/d with nearly complete survival (>90%) for lizards in all treatments. Changes in food consumption and body weight were observed at 35 and 45 mg/kg/d. Alterations in hematological end points; blood chemistries (albumin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, calcium); kidney, spleen, and liver weights; and adverse histopathology were observed in lizards exposed at 25 to 45 mg/kg/d. Testosterone concentration, sperm count, and motility were variable between treatments. Although not significant, incidences of hypospermia and testicular atrophy were observed in some individuals. Together, these data suggest a lowest-observed-adverse effect level of 25 mg/kg/d and a no-observed-adverse effect level of 15 mg/kg/d in S. occidentalis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Given the rapid increase in the use of operational mesoscale models to satisfy different specialized needs, it is important for the community to share ideas and solutions for meeting the many associated challenges that encompass science, technology, education, and training. As a contribution toward this objective, this paper begins a series that reports on the characteristics and performance of an operational mesogamma-scale weather analysis and forecasting system that has been developed for use by the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command. During the more than five years that this four-dimensional weather system has been in use at seven U.S. Army test ranges, valuable experience has been gained about the production and effective use of high-resolution model products for satisfying a variety of needs. This paper serves as a foundation for the rest of the papers in the series by describing the operational requirements for the system, the data assimilation and forecasting system characteristics, and the forecaster training that is required for the finescale products to be used effectively.

AB - This study builds upon previous efforts to document the performance of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command’s Four-Dimensional Weather Modeling System using conventional metrics. Winds, temperature, and specific humidity were verified for almost 15 000 forecasts at five U.S. Army test ranges using near-surface mesonet data. The primary objective was to use conventional metrics to characterize the degree to which forecast accuracy varies from range to range, within the diurnal cycle, with elapsed forecast time, and among the seasons. It was found that there are large interrange differences in forecast error, with larger errors typically associated with the ranges located near complex orography. Similarly, significant variations in accuracy were noted for different times in the diurnal cycle, but the diurnal dependency varied greatly among the ranges. Factor of 2 differences in accuracy were also found across the seasons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Output from the Army Test and Evaluation Command’s Four-Dimensional Weather System’s mesoscale model is used to drive secondary-applications models to produce forecasts of quantities of importance for daily decision making at U.S. Army test ranges. Examples of three specific applications—a sound propagation model, a missile trajectory model, and a transport and diffusion model—are given, along with accuracy assessments using cases in which observational data are available for verification. Ensembles of application model forecasts are used to derive probabilities of exceedance of quantities that can be used to help range test directors to make test go–no-go decisions. The ensembles can be based on multiple meteorological forecast runs or on spatial ensembles derived from different soundings extracted from a single meteorological forecast. In most cases, the accuracies of the secondary-application forecasts are sufficient to meet operational needs at the test ranges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - During the summer months at the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command’s (ATEC) White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), forecasting thunderstorm activity is one of the primary duties of the range forecasters. The safety of personnel working on the range and the protection of expensive test equipment depend critically on the quality of forecasts of thunderstorms and associated hazards, including cloud-to-ground lightning, hail, strong winds, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and tornadoes. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Auto-Nowcast (ANC) system is one of the key forecast tools in the ATEC Four-Dimensional Weather System (4DWX) at WSMR, where its purpose is to aid WSMR meteorologists in their mission of very short term thunderstorm forecasting. Besides monitoring the weather activity throughout the region and warning personnel of potentially hazardous thunderstorms, forecasters play a key role in assisting with the day-to-day planning of test operations on the range by providing guidance with regard to weather conditions favorable to testing. Moreover, based on climatological information about the local weather conditions, forecasters advise their range customers about scheduling tests at WSMR months in advance. This paper reviews the NCAR ANC system, provides examples of the ANC system’s use in thunderstorm forecasting, and describes climatological analyses of WSMR summertime thunderstorm activity relevant for long-range planning of tests. The climatological analysis illustrates that radar-detected convective cells with reflectivity of ≥35 dBZ at WSMR are 1) short lived, with 76% having lifetimes of less than 30 min; 2) small, with 67% occupying areas of less than 25 km2; 3) slow moving, with 79% exhibiting speeds of less than 4 m s-1; 4) moderately intense, with 80% showing reflectivities in excess of 40 dBZ; and 5) deep, with 80% of the storms reaching far enough above the freezing level to be capable of generating lightning.

AB - 1. Restoration of shallow turbid lakes to promote growth of submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) requires knowledge of the environmental factors affecting SAV growth and persistence, and a means to predict the success of SAV reestablishment under different management scenarios to improve these environmental conditions. We used a dynamic ecological modelling approach relating SAV responses to changes in physical and chemical conditions, with information on water level, flow and transparency being provided by hydrodynamic and sediment transport models. 2. The potential persistence of Vallisneria americana was similar under simulated environmental conditions in 1946 and in 1954, as was the potential persistence of Potamogeton pectinatus, indicating that the disappearance of V. americana from Peoria Lake (U.S.A.) previously attributed to an extended spring flood in 1954, may have been related to the combined effects of changes in water level, flow and water transparency as well as possibly other factors. 3. Recent environmental conditions (for 2000) proved not to be conducive for the colonization and persistence potential of V. americana, but would allow colonization by P. pectinatus. The construction of a hypothetical levee along the eastern descending line of the navigation channel in Upper Peoria Lake, which was expected to reduce fetch- and navigation-related turbidity, did not improve the situation for V. americana and overall deteriorated the situation for P. pectinatus. Thus, such a hydraulic alteration, generally considered as beneficial for SAV restoration, may not always be successful. 4. The results of the simulations indicated that the environmental conditions for potential persistence in Peoria Lake were generally less favourable for V. americana than for P. pectinatus. Measures suggested to restore SAV communities in such a lake should aim at reducing concentrations of total suspended solids at the point of inflow by a factor of three to four and limiting fetch- and navigation-related resuspension.

AB - Because of rapid forcing by varying cloud and sky conditions, turbulence time series collected in the atmospheric surface layer over land may often be nonstationary. The meteorological community, however, has no consensus definition of what nonstationarity is and, thus, no consensus method for how to identify it. This study, therefore, adopts definitions for first-order and second-order stationarity taken from the time series analysis literature and implements new analysis techniques and probabilistic tests to quantify first-order and second-order nonstationarity. First-order nonstationarity manifests as a change in the series mean; second-order nonstationarity, as a change in the variance. The analysis identifies nonstationarity in surface-level turbulent temperature and water vapour series collected during two sample days with solar forcing influenced by cirrus and cirrostratus clouds, but that nonstationarity is not as severe as expected despite the rapid thermal forcing by these clouds. On the other hand, even with negligible cloud forcing, both sample days exhibited severe nonstationarity at night. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Although normally regarded as a vesicant, inhalation of sulphur mustard (HD) vapor can cause life-threatening lung injury for which there is no specific treatment. Novel therapies for HD-induced lung injury are best investigated in an in vivo model that allows monitoring of a range of physiological variables. HD vapor was generated using two customized thermostatically controlled glass flasks in parallel. The vapor was passed into a carrier flow of air (81 L· min-1) and down a length of glass exposure tube (1.75 m). A pig was connected to the midpoint of the exposure tube via a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined endotracheal tube, Fleisch pneumotachograph, and sample port. HD vapor concentrations (40-122.8 mg. m-3) up-and downstream of the point of exposure were obtained by sampling onto Porapak absorption tubes with subsequent analysis by gas chromatography-flame photometric detection. Real-time estimates of vapor concentration were determined using a photo-ionization detector. Lung function indices (respiratory volumes, lung compliance, and airway resistance) were measured online throughout. Trial runs with methylsalicylate (MS) and animal exposures with HD demonstrated that the exposure system rapidly reached the desired concentration within 1 min and maintained stable output throughout exposure, and that the MS/HD concentration decayed rapidly to zero when switched off. A system is described that allows reproducible exposure of HD vapor to the lung of anesthetized white pigs. The system has proved to be robust and reliable and will be a valuable tool in assessing potential future therapies against HD-induced lung injury in the pig. Crown Copyright (c) 2007 Dstl.

AB - Sublethal test methods are being used with increasing frequency to measure sediment toxicity, but little is known about the relative sensitivity of these tests compared to the more commonly used acute tests. The present study was conducted to compare the sensitivity of several acute and sublethal methods and to investigate their correlations with sediment chemistry and benthic community condition. Six sublethal methods (amphipod: Leptocheirus plumulosus survival, growth, and reproduction; polychaete: Neanthes arenaceodentata survival and growth; benthic copepod: Amphiascus tenuiremis life cycle; seed clam: Mercenaria mercenaria growth; oyster: Crassostrea virginica lysosome destabilization; and sediment-water interface testing with mussel embryos, Mytilus galloprovincialis) and two acute methods (amphipod survival with Eohaustorius estuarius and L. plumulosus) were used to test split sediment samples from stations in California. The test with Amphiascus proved to be the most sensitive sublethal test and the most sensitive overall, identifying 90% of the stations as toxic. The Leptocheirus 10-d test was the most sensitive of the acute tests, identifying 60% of the stations as toxic. In general, the sublethal tests were not more sensitive to sediments than the acute tests, with the sublethal tests finding an average of 35% of the stations to be toxic while the acute found 44%. Of the sublethal tests, only the Amphiascus endpoints and Neanthes growth significantly (p ≤ 0.05) correlated with sediment chemical concentrations. Poor correspondence occurred between the toxicity endpoints and the indicators of benthic community condition. Differences in test characteristics such as mode of exposure, species-specific contaminant sensitivity, changes in contaminant bioavailability, and influence of noncontaminant stressors on the benthos may have been responsible for variation in response among the tests and low correspondence with benthic community condition. The influence of these factors cannot be easily predicted, underscoring the need to use multiple toxicity methods, in combination with other lines of evidence, to provide an accurate and confident assessment of sediment toxicity.

AB - Southern Louisiana is characterized by low-lying topography and an extensive network of sounds, bays, marshes, lakes, rivers, and inlets that permit widespread inundation during hurricanes. A basin- to channel-scale implementation of the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) unstructured grid hydrodynamic model has been developed that accurately simulates hurricane storm surge, tides, and river flow in this complex region. This is accomplished by defining a domain and computational resolution appropriate for the relevant processes, specifying realistic boundary conditions, and implementing accurate, robust, and highly parallel unstructured grid numerical algorithms. The model domain incorporates the western North Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea so that interactions between basins and the shelf are explicitly modeled and the boundary condition specification of tidal and hurricane processes can be readily defined at the deep water open boundary. The unstructured grid enables highly refined resolution of the complex overland region for modeling localized scales of flow while minimizing computational cost. Kinematic data assimilative or validated dynamic-modeled wind fields provide the hurricane wind and pressure field forcing. Wind fields are modified to incorporate directional boundary layer changes due to overland increases in surface roughness, reduction in effective land roughness due to inundation, and sheltering due to forested canopies. Validation of the model is achieved through hindcasts of Hurricanes Betsy and Andrew. A model skill assessment indicates that the computed peak storm surge height has a mean absolute error of 0.30 m.

N2 - Nindl, BC and Sharp, MA. Third International Congress on Soldiers' Physical Performance: translating state-of-thescience soldier research for operational utility. J Strength Cond Res 29(11S): S1-S3, 2015-The Third International Congress on Soldiers' Physical Performance (ICSPP) was held on August 18-21, 2014 in Boston, MA, where it had a record attendance of374 registrants from 27 countries. The Congress included 8 invited keynote lectures, 12 symposia, 1 featured science session, more than 200 oral and poster free communication sessions, 8 thematic poster sessions, and a Warfighter Readiness Roundtable. Collectively, the presentations focused on a fundamental premise that soldiers are the center of warfighting capability, and the human service member is the prime resource and key enabler of all warfighting systems. The intent of the ICSPP series is to focus on the soldier—the individual service member. As we move forward with focus placed on the human dimension of soldiering, the key to our scientific success and what will prove to be transformative will be the extent to which we can operationalize and disseminate our scientific knowledge for the benefit of our soldiers on the ground. The Congress fostered important scientific exchange, and dialog centered on improving military physical performance and readiness. As countries around the globe respond to current and emerging threats to their national security, it is increasingly clear that we must ensure optimal human performance of our military personnel. By taking advantage of the science and applications of physical fitness and injury prevention research, we can leverage our increased understanding for the optimal application of physical readiness processes while minimizing the injury risk potential. We believe that the continued scientific and evidence-based dialog across international partners will prove to be transformative in identifying the most effective strategies for human performance optimization in the 21st century. Innovation, leveraging current state-of-the-science, and international partnerships were all key themes throughout the Congress. From the ICSPP scientific program, it was clear that there is abundant scientific knowledge on how to improve soldiers' sleep, activity, and nutrition and that a major challenge is for scientists and military leaders/policy makers to work together to operationalize what is known for soldier utility on the ground.

N2 - We examined the effect of body water deficits on standing balance and sought to determine if plasma hyperosmolality (Posm) and/or volume reduction (%ΔVplasma) exerted independent effects. Nine healthy volunteers completed three experimental trials which consisted of a euhydration (EUH) balance test, a water deficit session and a hypohydration (HYP) balance test. Hypohydration was achieved both by exercise-heat stress to 3% and 5% body mass loss (BML), and by a diuretic to 3% BML. Standing balance was assessed during quiet standing on a force platform with eyes open and closed. With eyes closed, hypohydration significantly decreased medial-lateral sway path and velocity by 13% (bothp < .040). However, 95% confidence intervals for the mean difference between EUH and HYP were all within the coefficient of variation of EUH measures, indicating limited practical importance. Neither Vplasma loss nor Posm increases were associated with changes in balance. We concluded that standing balance was not altered by hypohydration. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Spinal cord injury (SCI) often affects a person's ability to perform critical activities of daily living and can negatively affect his or her quality of life. Assistive technology aims to bridge this gap in order to augment function and increase independence. It is critical to involve consumers in the design and evaluation process as new technologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are developed. In a survey study of 57 veterans with SCI participating in the 2010 National Veterans Wheelchair Games, we found that restoration of bladder and bowel control, walking, and arm and hand function (tetraplegia only) were all high priorities for improving quality of life. Many of the participants had not used or heard of some currently available technologies designed to improve function or the ability to interact with their environment. The majority of participants in this study were interested in using a BCI, particularly for controlling functional electrical stimulation to restore lost function. Independent operation was considered to be the most important design criteria. Interestingly, many participants reported that they would consider surgery to implant a BCI even though noninvasiveness was a high-priority design requirement. This survey demonstrates the interest of individuals with SCI in receiving and contributing to the design of BCIs. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - This study employs an existing finite-difference model based on the hyperbolic form of the modified mild slope equation (MMSE) to investigate wave reflection near bathymetric depressions such as dredged borrow pits and nearshore canyons. First, the model is tested for numerical limitations on the higher order bottom slope and curvature terms using idealized cases of a simple depth transition and a symmetric trapezoidal trench, with comparisons of the MMSE to both the traditional mild slope equation (MSE) solution and a shallow water analytic solution. It is demonstrated that the model gives accurate solutions on slopes as steep as 1:1, and that the solutions from all three models agree in the shallow water region. However, for waves in intermediate depths, predicted wave reflection from nearshore depressions is shown to differ significantly between the MMSE and MSE models. Next, geometrical data from a wide range of existing and proposed borrow pits and a submarine canyon are gathered and analyzed for whether wave reflection is an important process near realistic nearshore depressions. The geometric data show that realistic nearshore depressions lie within the tested range of the MMSE model and that borrow pits are generally not in shallow water, which means it is important to use a MMSE-type model to calculate reflection from these features. In addition, storm conditions on average lead to a 50% increase in reflection coefficient in comparison to the mean wave conditions, due to the increase in wave period. Finally, the results also indicate borrow pit design criteria that can be used to ensure minimal reflection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Simulation models based on the elliptic mild- or steep-slope wave equation are frequently used to estimate wave properties needed for harbor engineering calculations. To enhance the practical applicability of such models, a method is developed to accommodate the effects of rubble mound structures that are frequently found along the sides of harbor entrance channels. The results of this method are found to match those of other mathematical models under appropriate conditions but also to deviate from those of parabolic approximations in some cases as a consequence of increased angular scattering induced by dissipation. Comparison with hydraulic model data also shows that this approach is useful for designing pocket wave absorbers that are used to attenuate wave heights in entrance channels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A series of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), all containing 1% nucleating agent but varying in structure, were melt-processed into films through single screw extrusion techniques. This series consisted of three polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and three polyhydroxybutyrate-valerate (PHBV) resins with varying valerate content. Processing parameters of temperature in the barrel (165–173 °C) and chill rolls (60 °C) were optimized to obtain cast films. The gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) results showed a loss of 8–19% of the polymer’s initial molecular weight due to extrusion processing. Modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) displayed glass transition temperatures of the films ranging from −4.6 to 6.7 °C depending on the amount of crystallinity in the film. DSC data were also used to calculate the percent crystallinity of each sample and slightly higher crystallinity was observed in the PHBV series of samples. X-ray diffraction patterns did not vary significantly for any of the samples and crystallinity was confirmed with X-ray data. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) verified the glass transition trends for the films from DSC while loss modulus ( E′) reported at 20 °C showed that the PHBV (3,950–3,600 MPa) had the higher E′ values than the PHB (3,500–2,698 MPa) samples. The Young’s modulus values of the PHB and PHBV samples ranged from 700 to 900 MPa and 900 to 1,500 MPa, respectively. Polarized light microscopy images revealed gel particles in the films processed through single-screw extrusion, which may have caused diminished Young’s modulus and tensile strength of these films. The PHBV film samples exhibited the greatest barrier properties to oxygen and water vapor when compared to the PHB film samples. The average oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) for the PHBV samples was 247 (cc-mil/m2-day) and 118 (g-mil/m2-day), respectively; while the average OTR and WVTR for the PHB samples was 350 (cc-mil/m2-day) and 178 (g-mil/m2-day), respectively. Biodegradation data of the films in the marine environment demonstrated that all PHA film samples achieved a minimum of 70% mineralization in 40 days when run in accordance with ASTM 6691. For static and dynamic incubation experiments in seawater, microbial action resulting in weight loss as a function of time showed all samples to be highly biodegradable and correlated with the ASTM 6691 biodegradation data.

While many officials in both nations assert that collaboration between U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will improve international relations, the author cautions that such an alliance may effectively validate Russia’s acts of blackmail, espionage, and military intervention in Europe. Russia’s views on missile defense systems in Europe and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are examined.

AB - Federal test and evaluation agencies, particularly those associated with the U.S. military, are grappling with the challenge of evaluating system of systems (SoS) or a family of systems (FoS)—in short, developing methods whereby the contribution of individual systems can be evaluated when operating in combination with other systems, and determining the effectiveness when various subcomponents are added or removed from the overall SoS. In this article, the authors present a proposed framework for conducting such evaluations through integrating developmental testing, operational testing, and operational performance data into the evaluations. A recent example of the evaluation of a suite of aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems is also discussed, relating the aerial ISR evaluation to the proposed framework.

AB - The article discusses the effectiveness of economic sanctions in preventing nuclear proliferation, using historical examples from 1974 to 1998. Also discussed are issues of why states choose to proliferate, and what would happen if sanctions were not used. A specific example discussed in greater detail is Russia's partially successful effort to deter nuclear proliferation in Ukraine in 1993. The economic cost of sanctions is discussed as a key factor, and sanctions imposed by friendly states are seen as more effective than those imposed by hostile states.

AB - There are numerous ways to estimate the trajectory and subsequent impact point of a projectile. Some complex methods are highly accurate and require a lot of input data while others are fairly trivial and less accurate but require minimal input data. Projectile impact point predictors (IPPs) have three primary error sources: model error, parameter error, and initial state error. While model error typically shrinks as model complexity increases, parameter and initial state errors grow with increasing model complexity. Since all input data feeding an IPP are uncertain to some level, the ideal IPP for an overall situation is not clear cut by any means. This paper examines several different projectile IPPs that span the range of complex nonlinear rigid projectile models to simple vacuum point mass models with the intent to better understand relative merits of each algorithm in relation to the other algorithms and as a function of parameter uncertainty and initial state error. Monte Carlo simulation is employed to compute impact point statistics as a function of the range to the target for an indirect fire 155-mm spin stabilized round. For this specific scenario, results indicated neglecting physical phenomena in the formulation of the equations of motion can degrade impact point prediction, especially early in the flight. Adding uncertainty to the parameters and states induces impact point errors that dominate model error contributions. Impact point prediction errors scaled linearly with parameter and state errors. All IPPs investigated converged to the actual impact point as the time at which the estimate took place approached the time of impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this investigation, a two-dimensional time-domain closed-form mathematical model for the hydrodynamic forces on the upstream vertical face of a given rigid dam subjected to a specified horizontal ground motion accelerogram was developed. The model includes the absorption of energy at the elastic reservoir bottom, characterized by the impedance ratio of the sub-bottom materials with respect to water (α). The formulated boundary-value problem is solved in Laplace's domain and subsequently transformed back to the time domain. Response spectra for the hydrodynamic base shear force and overturning moment are constructed for extreme values of the parameter α. It is found that, frequently, including the solid-foundation elasticity in the reservoir model attenuates the resultant hydrodynamic forces on a rigid barrier, as compared to the results for the case of a rigid reservoir foundation. In this case, the elasticity of the sub-bottom materials constitutes an effective energy dissipating mechanism (radiation damping). By contrast, for sub-bottom materials with less-than-water impedance, amplification of the effective earthquake forces is obtained, as compared to the results for the case of a rigid reservoir foundation.

AB - Soldiers on today's battlefield find themselves monitoring a host of displays in both vehicles and command centers, with personal-mounted displays looming in the near future. Such display proliferation makes the task of managing limited visual attention while searching for information extremely demanding and the potential for critical information loss due to visual demand overload. Cueing has traditionally provided a performance advantage in search tasks, with the current experiment exploring whether and how a specific tactile display format could guide visual attention. In particular, the use of the tactile cues decreased search response time by more than 30%. This was not a trade of speed for accuracy because the frequency of missed signals themselves was also reduced by approximately 70%, and false positives were suppressed by the addition of the tactile cue by over 50%. These findings represent useful foundational outcomes against which to compare other forms of sensory cueing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The regression framework is often the method of choice used by psychologists for predicting organizationally relevant outcomes from test scores. However, alternatives to regression exist, and these techniques may provide better prediction of outcomes and a more effective means of classifying examinees for selection and placement. This research describes two of these alternatives-decision tree methodology and optimal appropriateness measurement (OAM)-and how they were used to optimize the prediction of attrition among a sample of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 22,537) using a temperament inventory called the Assessment of Individual Motivation (AIM). Results demonstrated that the OAM approach provided better differentiation between 'stayers' and 'leavers' after 12 months than either the traditional logistic regression or the decision tree methods.

AB - Although empowerment often makes a team more effective, managers do not use this tool extensively. One explanation for this is that managers fear that individuals will draw negative conclusions about their leadership abilities if they use an inappropriate degree of decision-making empowerment (DME). The current research explored this hypothesis, using scenarios to manipulate DME, organizational setting, manager gender, and task outcome. Officer cadets (N = 173) judged appropriateness of the manager's use of empowerment; degree of leadership shown; and willingness to work for the manager. Cadets saw high DME as significantly more appropriate than low, resulting in significantly higher leadership attributions and a greater willingness to work for the manager. Findings held regardless of context or gender. Task outcome also affected attributions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The current study compared expert-observer ratings of situation awareness (SA) with subjective self-ratings of SA in Norwegian military academy cadets during a summer combat survival course. The cadets (N = 30) completed an 8-day combat survival course characterized by sleep and food deprivation, continuous operations, and altered circadian entrainment cues. Results indicated that self-ratings of SA did not correlate consistently with expert-observer SA ratings, and self-ratings were consistently higher than expert-observer ratings. The results are congruent with expected effects of these extreme conditions on cognition and self-awareness, demonstrate a pronounced self-enhancement bias and suggest that subjective measures of SA are not likely to provide valid estimates of SA under extreme conditions.

AB - The U.S. Army has focused on developing leader competencies in order to promote adaptability for asymmetric warfare. Expanding leader adaptive capacity, however, requires integrating competencies with deeper knowledge structures and leader identity. We conduct a three-stage exploratory study using semistructured interviews and three separate samples of experienced combat leaders to assess the organization of tactical leader functional roles. We identify the breadth of roles, tasks, skills, and attributes representative of expert tactical military leaders. We hope to take a first step in circumscribing the requisite cognitive and behavioral complexity required of tactical leaders and thereby provide a referent structure for future research on what constitutes requisite complexity for tactical military leaders.

AB - We examine the structure of soldier's psychological skills and assess the relationship between psychological skills profiles and physical performance with data from 427 soldiers from a Stryker Brigade. Exploratory factor analyses results provided empirical support for a three-factor structure that included foundation skills, psychosomatic skills, and cognitive skills. Cluster analysis revealed three emergent psychological skills profile groups: (a) strong skills, (b) weak skills, and (c) fearful focus clusters. Soldiers in the strong psychological skill profile group performed better than their peers in the other profile groups on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) performance measure. We discuss the implications of our findings for theory, research, and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The present study extended the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model (Siegrist, 1996b), first by differentiating between separate reward components, second by including intrinsic reward, and third by additionally predicting a non-health outcome (i.e., turnover intention) in a military context. Regression analyses of 789 reservists found financial and esteem reward to moderate the impact of extrinsic effort on depressive symptoms, whereas only financial reward moderated the effort turnover intentions relationship. Results supported the usefulness of the extended ERI model in the military context. Relevant areas for future research on the military effort-reward perspective are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Continuous gradual change is often difficult to detect, although it may be easy to detect the difference between the initial and end state if directly compared. Two experiments examined people's ability to detect gradual changes in icon position on a situation awareness map. People observed sequences of icon moves that consisted of ten .9-mm colinear moves or five 8.75-mm colinear moves and reported when they noticed a change. The relatively small moves were less likely to be detected than the relatively large moves; however, an entire sequence of the .9 mm moves was rarely missed. Green icon moves were significantly less likely to be detected than blue or yellow icon moves. This may have been due to the stimulus features of the icons or those features in interaction with the map background. Various methods that might assist icon change detection are discussed.

AB - Videogames are increasingly being used for military training. One assumption is that the majority of soldiers play videogames regularly; however, research by Orvis, Horn, and Belanich (2009) found that only approximately 40% of U.S. Military Academy cadets reported moderate to heavy game-play. Given that cadets may be a special population, this research examines the frequency of videogame usage across the U.S. Army. Results indicate that fewer than 43% of over 10,000 soldiers surveyed play videogames at least weekly. Junior enlisted soldiers report the highest frequency (51-59%), whereas senior enlisted/officer ranks play much less (11-37%). Implications for utilizing serious videogames for military training are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The present study provides a summary of studies examining the prevalence of posttraumatic stress (PTSD) and related symptoms among reserve personnel deployed during Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The few extant studies showed that in-theater and shortly after returning from deployment, reserve and active duty personnel had similar rates of PTSD and related symptoms. Sometime after deployment, reserve personnel reported higher rates of PTSD and related symptoms than active duty personnel. A work stress model is used to develop several possible explanations of findings, having implications for practices to reduce stress symptoms among reservists and for improving research and theory of future studies examining PTSD and related symptoms among reservists.

AB - The current study examines the relative contributions of cognitions and moods with U.S. military personnel under traumatic stress conditions. Soldiers exposed to traumatic stress conditions reported significantly elevated psychological symptoms. Both cognitive appraisal styles and mood states were related to trait resilience. Both appraisal and mood mediated the relationship between trait resilience and psychological adjustment. Current mood states were a significant predictor of psychological adjustment beyond the trait of resilience and aspects of cognitive appraisal. Positive affect did relate to better psychological adjustment even under traumatic stress conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While investigations in such environments are extremely difficult to conduct, such research is essential if we are to understand the functioning of leadership in contexts where leadership matters most. This paper introduces six studies that accepted the difficulties of this kind of research; and examined leadership in various challenging, dangerous contexts. We discuss the contributions of the six papers in terms of three related questions (1) what precisely is leadership in dangerous environments?; (2) what does danger do to leadership?; and (3) what distinguishes effective leadership in dangerous contexts?

AB - We propose that leadership is uniquely contextualized when confronting dangerous contexts such that specific causations and contingencies occur that are not present in non-dangerous contexts. Yet we know very little about how such leadership operates and what constitutes effective leadership for such dangerous contexts. To guide future research, we take a multilevel and systems approach to leadership and suggest important areas for future research of leadership in dangerous contexts at the micro-, meso-, and macrolevels.

AB - A study conducted in the Iraqi combat zone investigated whether soldiers reconsidered trust in their leaders prior to combat operations. Seventy-two soldiers, assigned to an Army division that was conducting combat and civil military operations in northern Iraq, completed a questionnaire that determined to what degree they reevaluated trust in their direct leaders prior to following them into battle and what impact this reconsideration had on the trust they placed in their leaders. Results indicated that the majority of soldiers did reconsider trust in their leaders prior to combat operations, to ensure that they had the competence and character to meet the greater demands of leading in combat. Findings also suggested that the trust leaders developed during peacetime training seemed to transfer to the combat environment and that leaders' abilities emerged as the most influential factor in the development of trust in the high-vulnerability context of combat. The findings have implications for trust models, leader development, leadership, and training of first responders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We examined the role of contextualized, group-level ratings of a family-supportive work climate on the link between individuals' aggressiveness and marital quality in a sample of 1,604 married male active duty soldiers from brigades in the southeastern United States. Results of multilevel analyses showed that group-level ratings of a family-supportive work climate moderated the negative individual-level link between aggressiveness and marital quality. Findings suggest that the negative association between aggressiveness and perceived marital quality may be influenced by how well the organization fosters a climate that is supportive of married soldiers' family responsibilities. Implications for work climate research and organizational policy in the military are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a member of a large family of structurally related exotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus, which is the etiological agent responsible for toxic shock and staphylococcal food poisoning. SEB binds directly to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells and T-cell receptors on T cells triggering T-cell proliferation and mediator release. SEB is a biothreat agent because of its ability to potently activate cells of the immune system. In vivo animal models are critical in the development of therapeutics against SEB-induced shock. Our results show that three different mouse strains with different susceptibility to SEB can be used to study SEB-induced shock without the use of potentiating agents. The hypothermic response, weight loss, and induction of serum monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), interleukin 2 (IL-2), and IL-6 correlated with mortality in all three models.

AB - Scopolamine (SCP) is an anticholinergic drug used clinically for decades to treat motion sickness, as a surgical preanesthetic, and as a smooth muscle antispasmodic. It has also been used experimentally as a pretreatment and/or treatment adjunct to mitigate the toxic sequelae of organophosphorus (OP) nerve agent intoxication. SCP has been reported to increase survival, prevent or terminate seizures, and reduce morbidity from nerve agent intoxication in a number of animal models. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of atropine dose, pyridostigmine bromide (PB) pretreatment, and oxime selection on the efficacy of SCP as an adjunctive treatment to enhance survival following lethal nerve agent exposure in guinea pigs. The results indicate that the use of an effective oxime and/or PB pretreatment was a critical factor in determining the efficacy of SCE SCP can also reduce the dose of atropine required for survival against lethal nerve agent intoxication.

AB - The purpose of this study was to determine awareness and compliance with recommended running shoe selection, sizing, and replacement guidelines among U.S. Army soldiers. Soldiers (n = 524) attending training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas completed self-report questionnaires and a foot assessment, which included measurement of foot size and arch height index. Researchers examined each soldier's running shoes for type, wear pattern, and general condition. Thirty-five percent of the soldiers wore shoes that were inappropriately sized: 56.5% wore shoes that were inappropriate for their foot type. Thirty-five percent of the soldiers had excessively worn shoes and 63% did not know recommended shoe replacement guidelines. Further efforts may be necessary to ensure that soldiers are aware of and compliant with recommended running shoe selection, sizing, and replacement guidelines. Future research is needed to determine whether adherence to these guidelines has a favorable effect on reducing risk of overuse injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Probiotics are defined as "live organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts confer a benefit on the host." The purpose of this review was to determine whether there is evidence-based justification to recommend purchase and promotion of probiotic-containing food in military dining facilities (DFACs). Peer-reviewed literature was searched to identity well-conducted systematic reviews and original research related to the efficacy of probiotics in preventing and/or treating acute infectious diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, respiratory tract infections, allergic rhinitis, dental health issues, and female urogenital conditions. Probiotics may be useful for preventing and/or treating military-relevant health conditions. However, the available scientific evidence is not sufficient to warrant widespread procurement and promotion of probiotic-containing food items in military DFACs. Health care practitioners considering recommending probiotics should understand that health effects and clinical outcomes discussed herein are specific to the probiotic strain, dose, and method of delivery studied in the articles cited.

AB - Objective: The Evaluation of Risks (EVAR) scale has been used to assess risk-taking propensity in military samples. This report provides preliminary reliability, validity, and normative data on a modified version of the instrument designed to facilitate data entry with optical scanners, the Evaluation of Risks-Bubble Sheet version (EVAR-B). Methods: 2,015 U.S. Army soldiers completed the EVAR-B and a survey assessing risk-related behaviors 3 months after returning home from combat deployment in Iraq. Results: EVAR-B demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and reliability and correlated significantly with independent measures of self reported risk-taking behavior, including alcohol use and aggressive behavior, in the weeks preceding the survey. Tentative cut-offs significantly differentiated heavy drinkers, dangerous drivers, and soldiers reporting recent aggressive outbursts. Normative data are provided for comparison with future studies. Conclusions: The EVAR-B is a reliable and valid measure of risk-taking propensity, which provides enhanced flexibility for administration and scoring in large surveys and field environments.

AB - The dramatic increase in psychological demands associated with current military operations makes psychological fitness of our military personnel more vital than ever. Psychological fitness is defined as the integration and optimization of mental, emotional, and behavioral abilities and capacities to optimize performance and strengthen the resilience of warfighters. The present article proposes a military demand-resource (MDR) model as a comprehensive and integrated model of psychological fitness for the total force. The model emphasizes the importance of identifying military-driven and evidence-informed variables, and selecting operational outcome measures for resilience and performance. The model integrates the roles of internal (personal) and external (environmental) resources specifically for developing, sustaining, and restoring psychological resources, similar to the maintenance of physical fitness and health. Equal attention to the psychological component is critical for achieving the mind-body balance as desired in a total force fitness framework for military forces today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Risk-taking propensity can be influenced by sensation-seeking traits and self-perceived invincibility. We hypothesized that the latter factor may reflect a stable trait that endures across situations and may influence risk-taking behavior. We developed and validated a 20-item scale, the Invincibility Belief Index (IBI) to measure this construct. The IBI demonstrated good internal consistency and excellent test-retest reliability in the development sample (n = 100) and sustained similar levels of reliability in a cross-validation sample (n = 74). Principal components analysis yielded three orthogonal factors measuring self-perceived impunity (immunity from consequences), boldness/audacity (self-assuredness and competitiveness), and adroitness (mental agility and survival skill). In the prediction of risk taking. IBI scores contributed additional unique variance beyond sensation-seeking scores alone. IBI scores demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity with concurrently administered measures. These preliminary results support the reliability and validity of the IBI as a brief measure of self-perceived vulnerability-invincibility in the face of adversity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The diagnosis and management of concussion can be difficult in a combat environment, especially in the absence of loss of consciousness or post-traumatic amnesia. As no validated test exists to diagnose or grade neurocognitive impairment from a concussion, the military currently employs the Military Acute Concussion Evaluation (MACE) in Iraq. This is a two-part test, which incorporates the standardized assessment of concussion (SAC) as its objective score, although it has not been shown to be valid unless administered shortly after injury. A research team deployed to Iraq between January and April 2009 to examine the validity of several tests of neurocognitive function following a concussion, including the MACE. When administered more than 12 hours after the concussive injury, the MACE lacked sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be clinically useful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: A longitudinal cohort analysis of disease nonbattle injuries (DNBI) sustained by a large combat-deployed maneuver unit has not been performed. Methods: A descriptive analysis was undertaken to evaluate for DNBI casualty care statistics incurred by a U.S. Army Brigade Combat Team (BCT) during a counterinsurgency campaign of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Results: Of the 4,122 soldiers deployed, there were 1,324 DNBI with 5 (0.38%) deaths, 208 (15.7%) medical evacuations (MEDEVAC), and 1,111 (83.9%) returned to duty. The DNBI casualty rate for the BCT was 257.0/1.000 soldier combat-years. Females, compared with males, had a significantly increased incidence rate ratio for becoming a DNBI casualty 1.67 (95% CI 1.37, 2.04). Of 47 female soldiers receiving MEDEVAC 35 (74%) were for pregnancy-related issues. Musculoskeletal injuries (50.4%) and psychiatric disorders (23.3%) were the most common body systems involved with DNBI casualties. Among the BCT cohort the psychiatric DNBI casualty rate and suicide rate were 59.8 and 0.58 per 1,000 soldier combat-years. The BCT cohort incidence rates for common musculoskeletal injuries per 1,000 combat-years were as follows: ankle sprain 15.3, anterior cruciate ligament rupture 3.3 and shoulder dislocation 1.2. Conclusions: Musculoskeletal injuries and psychiatric disorders accounted for 74% of the total DNBI casualties, and 43% of the DNBI casualties requiring subsequent MEDEVAC. The BCT cohort had a suicide rate nearly four times greater than previously reported, and selected musculoskeletal injury incidence rates were fivefold greater than the general population.

AB - This investigation evaluated the effects of a 13-month deployment to Iraq on body composition and selected fitness measures. Seventy-three combat arms soldiers were measured pre- and postdeployment. Body composition was assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Strength was measured by single repetition maximum (1-RM) lifts on bench press and squat. Power was assessed by a bench throw and squat jump. Aerobic endurance was evaluated with a timed 2-mile run. Exercise and injury history were assessed by questionnaire. Upper and lower body strength improved by 7% and 8%, respectively (p < 0.001 ). Upper body power increased 9% (p < 0.001) and lean mass increased 3% (p < 0.05). In contrast, aerobic performance declined 13% (p < 0.001) and fat mass increased 9% (p < 0.05). Fewer soldiers participated in aerobic exercise or sports during deployment (p < 0.001 ). Unit commanders should be aware of potential fitness and body composition changes during deployment and develop physical training programs to enhance fitness following deployment.

AB - Objective: To determine the epidemiology of lateral and medial epicondylitis in the U.S. military. Methods: The Defense Medical Epidemiology Database was queried for ICD-9 codes 726.32 (lateral epicondylitis) and 726.33 (medial epicondylitis) for the years 1998-2006. Multivariate Poisson regression was used to calculate incidence rates (IR) and rate ratios (RR) among demographic groups. Results: The IRs for lateral and medial epicondylitis were 2.98 and 0.81 per 1,000 person-years. For lateral epicondylitis, women had a higher incidence (RR = 1.22, 95% CI 1.19-1.26). In both groups, analysis by age showed higher incidence in the ≥40-year-old group. White compared with black race was a risk factor for both lateral (RR = 1.68, 95% CI, 1.63-1.74) and medial epicondylitis (RR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.05-1.17). Conclusions: Female gender was a risk factor for lateral but not medial epicondylitis. Age greater than 40 and white race were significant risk factors for both conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Clinical features of young patients presenting with syncope have been underreported. Methods: Retrospective review using U.S. Military Health System's Theater Medical Data Store and Joint Medical Workstation identified patients evaluated for syncope from January 2005 to October 2007 while deployed to a combat zone. Results: We identified 848 patients with syncope. The majority (80.8%) were under the age of 40. The diagnostic yield of the ECG was 2.0%. In those <40 years, there were no head CTs or transthoracic echocardiograms that identified a cause of syncope. There was no difference in evacuation out of theater between those <40 years and those >40 years (10.8% vs. 8.6%, p = 0.08). Patients with a prior episode of syncope were more likely to undergo medical evacuation outside of the combat zone (16.0% vs. 7.7%, p < 0.01). Discussion: Evacuation of those <40 years to facilities with advanced imaging did not add diagnostic information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Physical therapists (PTs) serve as physician extenders performing direct access evaluations for musculoskeletal conditions. The previous war-time mission of PTs was limited to level III medical care. Recently PTs began providing care at levels I/II with brigade combat teams (BCTs). Purpose: Determine the sentiment of battlefield providers at levels I/II regarding the operational impact of PTs. Methods: Surveys were provided to BCT medical providers. Results: There were 107 responses (response rate of 51%). According to the responses, PTs made a significant impact on overall mission accomplishment (97%) and patient prognosis (83%) and were considered local experts in musculoskeletal pathology (92%), including the ordering of radiographs (79%). Their presence was thought to significantly decrease medical evaluations within theater (68%) and out of theater (73%). Conclusion: There was a positive sentiment toward PTs in the BCT, suggesting they are highly valued. Future studies need to clarify further operational, medical, and fiscal implications.

AB - A total of 675,626 active duty Army soldiers who were known to be at risk for deployment to the Persian Gulf were followed from 1980 through the Persian Gulf War. Hospitalization histories for the entire cohort and Health Risk Appraisal surveys for a subset of 374 soldiers were used to evaluate prewar distress, health, and behaviors. Deployers were less likely to have had any prewar hospitalizations or hospitalization for a condition commonly reported among Gulf War veterans or to report experiences of depression/suicidal ideation. Deployers reported greater satisfaction with life and relationships but displayed greater tendencies toward risk taking, such as drunk driving, speeding, and failure to wear safety belts. Deployed veterans were more likely to receive hazardous duty pay and to be hospitalized for an injury than nondeployed Gulf War-era veterans. If distress is a predictor of postwar morbidity, it is likely attributable to experiences occurring during or after the war and not related to prewar exposures or health status. Postwar excess injury risk may be explained in part by a propensity for greater risk taking, which was evident before and persisted throughout the war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - As American and British troops pushed into the heart of the Third Reich during the spring of 1945 (March-May 1945), the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff began making preparations for a postwar force that supposedly would maintain the peace on the European continent and prevent the outbreak of a third, more devastating conflict. Unfortunately, as events turned out, the victorious U.S. Army of some 8 million men that had fought in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) rapidly demobilized once the surrender of Germany (and later Japan) had been achieved. This in turn left Germany and much of Western Europe, already devastated by the effects of the war on their soil vulnerable to exploitation and possible invasion by the Soviet Army. Maintaining the peace in Europe was a U.S. military that was but a remnant of the mighty U.S. and British military machine that had defeated the Wehrmacht, that had now been whittled down to a mere occupation or constabulary force.1 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Accelerating the healing process and reducing pain during healing are beneficial for the following reasons: faster return to work, lower risk of wound infection, improved quality of life, and possibly reduced need for analgesia. This clinical study assessed the effectiveness of a new oxygen-diffusion dressing (OxyBand; Oxyband Technologies, St. Louis, MO) compared with standard Xeroform gauze dressings (Convidien, Mansfield, MA), in the care of skin-graft donor sites in burn patients. Time to healing was the primary endpoint, and pain scores and cosmetic outcome were also assessed. This was a prospective, randomized, controlled study of burn patients undergoing harvesting of two donor sites. Patients were followed at predetermined time points for 30 to 45 days to determine the time to reepithelialization, cosmetic appearance, and pain. Subjects were adult burn patients with less than 30% TBSA burns admitted to the burn center, who required excision and grafting. Twenty patients were enrolled, of whom 17 completed the study. Average age was 35 years. Average burn size was 9.2% TBSA. Patients underwent harvesting of split-thickness skin grafts with one donor wound dressed with OxyBand and the other dressed in Xeroform gauze. Wounds were inspected and photographed on postoperative days 4 and 8, and then every 2 days until the donor wounds were healed. Pain scores at each site were also collected at these visits (rated by patients on a scale from 0 to 10). Mean time to wound healing for OxyBand was 9.3 ± 1.7 days; for Xeroform, 12.4 ± 2.7 days (P < .001). Pain scores were lower (P < .01) at the OxyBand site compared with the Xeroform site at all time points during postoperative days 4 to 12. There was no difference in the cosmetic outcome of the wounds at 30 to 45 days postoperatively. This study revealed a decrease in the time to healing and in pain at donor sites dressed with an oxygen-diffusion dressing.

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

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

AB - Mayer, Caruso, and Salovey (2016) provide useful updates to the EI ability model and related concepts. However, they do not acknowledge conceptual limitations with the MSCEIT proportion scoring algorithm. In our view, failure to recognize these limitations has impeded refinements to the EI ability model and delayed support for positioning EI within the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) three-stratum theory of intelligence (Carroll, 1993). Fully appreciating algorithm-related issues justifies the reanalysis of MSCEIT data and may expand the range of metrics that are available to refine EI theory.

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

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

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

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

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

AB - This study examined whether blood fatty acid levels, vitamin D status, and/or physical activity are associated with physical fitness scores; a measure of mood, Patient Health Questionnaire-9; and a measure of resiliency, Dispositional Resiliency Scale-15 in active duty Soldiers. 100 active duty males at Fort Hood, Texas, underwent a battery of psychometric tests, anthropometric measurements, and fitness tests, and they also provided fasting blood samples for fatty acid and vitamin D analysis. Pearson bivariate correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among psychometric tests, anthropometric measurements, physical performance, reported physical inactivity (sitting time), and fatty acid and vitamin D blood levels. On the basis of these findings, a regression equation was developed to predict a depressed mood status as determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The equation accurately predicted depressed mood status in 80% of our participants with a sensitivity of 76.9% and a specificity of 80.5%. Results indicate that the use of a regression equation may be helpful in identifying Soldiers at higher risk for mental health issues. Future studies should evaluate the impact of exercise and diet as a means of improving resiliency and reducing depressed mood in Soldiers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

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

AB - Background: There is a paucity of literature describing the accuracy of musculoskeletal injury reporting in the U.S. Army.Purpose: To investigate symptom-management behaviors as well as factors associated with seeking medical treatment among active duty Soldiers who reported that they had concealed at least one musculoskeletal injury.Methods: Anonymous surveys were completed by Soldiers (N = 1,388; 1,269 males, 74 females, and 45 no response) assigned to an Infantry Brigade Combat Team. Soldiers were asked to self-report injuries sustained in the last 12 months and whether or not they reported those injuries to a medical provider. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze treatment alternatives. Chi-square test was used to assess any significant relationships between injury and various demographics.Results: There were 808 (58%) Soldiers who stated they had an injury that they did not report. Over-the-counter pain relief medication (81%) was the most commonly selected alternative treatment.Conclusion: Over-the-counter pain medication was frequently used for symptom management among Soldiers who did not report their injury to a medical provider.

AB - The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries among Soldiers of the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division. A total of 451 subjects (age: 27.6 ± 6.2 years, gender: males 395/451 = 87.6%) volunteered. Musculoskeletal injury data were extracted from subjects' medical charts and injuries that occurred during 1 year were described. Injury frequency, injury anatomic location and sublocation, injury cause, activity when injury occurred, and injury type were described. Injury frequency was 29.5 injuries per 100 subjects per year. Most injures affected the lower extremity (60.2% of injuries) and common anatomic sublocations for injuries were the ankle (17.3%) and knee (15.0%). Frequent causes of injuries were running (13.5%) and direct trauma (9.0%). Physical training was associated with 29.3% of the injuries. A majority of injuries were classified as pain/spasm/ache (29.3%), without further elucidation of pathology. Other frequent injury types were sprain (21.8%) and strain (14.3%). The descriptive epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in this population underscores the need to explore the modifiable risk factors of potentially preventable lower extremity injuries associated with physical training and running. There is scope for the development of an optimized and targeted physical training program for injury prevention in this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objective: Identifying Department of Defense (DoD) occupations affected by injuries to the head and sensory systems.Methods: We explored the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database to identify occupations with the highest incidence of injured personnel, then ranked how frequently they occurred in a top 10 list for each of four injury categories (head/brain, visual, auditory, vestibular) encompassing 25 injury codes. Across all four categories, the most affected occupations were identified, among which we chose three Army combat-related military occupational specialties (MOSs) for detailed study. We identified skills needed to perform these MOSs and explored whether MOS-critical deficits could be expected following the injuries.Results: Some DoD occupations are more likely to suffer from these injuries, including Infantry, Combat Operations Control, Artillery/Gunnery, Motor Vehicle Operator, Combat Engineering, and Armor/Amphibious. Within these DoD occupations, we explored three Army combatant MOSs: Infantry (11B), Cavalry Scout (19D), and Artillery (13B), confirming that these jobs are likely to be disrupted by injuries within the four categories.Conclusions: Head and sensory injuries disproportionately affect certain military occupations. Relatively few injuries disrupt combat-related abilities that are job critical (e.g., firearms operation) and job specific (e.g., Artillery gunnery problems); these should be the focus of efforts to improve rehabilitation and RTD outcomes.

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

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

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

AB - Background: There are no tools to predict outcomes in the U.S. Air Force Critical Care Air Transport Team (CCATT) trauma patients. The objective of this study was to identify associations between preflight variables and outcomes that could assist planning of ongoing critical care.Methods: This Institutional Review Board approved retrospective study included all patients evacuated from Afghanistan by CCATT between 2007 and 2011. Preflight variables were assessed for associations and examined in logistic regression models. Ventilator time over 72 hours, and 30-day mortality were the primary and secondary outcomes respectively.Results: 1,308 trauma patients (24 years, 98% male) were included; 72% blast. Injury severity score (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04 [1.03-1.06]), preflight packed red blood cell units transfused (OR = 1.05 [1.04-1.07]), and preflight intubated status (OR = 11.9 [8.53-16.89]) were independently associated with increased ventilator days; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.85 with 86% sensitivity and 56% specificity. Injury severity score (OR = 1.06 [1.03-1.09]), prothrombin time (OR = 2.13 [1.18-4.47]), preflight intubated status (OR = 9.2 [1.88-166.11]), and whole blood (OR = 3.18 [1.38-7.04]) were associated with 30-day mortality; a composite produced an area under the curve of 0.84 with 71% sensitivity and 57% specificity.Conclusion: In our large CCATT study a number of preflight variables were associated with outcomes, which may assist in the future planning of critical care services.

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

AB - Carbon nanotube (CNT) sheet patch antennas are explored through simulation, fabrication, and measurement to evaluate the performance of the CNT material as an RF radiator. The thickness of the CNT sheet was found to have a significant impact on the radiation performance of the patch antenna due to the material skin depth, with an \sim 5.5-dB improvement to the realized gain achieved when the CNT sheet thickness was increased from 0.5 \mum to 5 \mum, likely due to lower surface impedance. The 5 \mum-CNT sheet patch antenna exhibited 2.1-dBi total realized gain compared with 5.6-dBi realized gain for baseline copper patch antenna yielding a 3.5-dB reduction attributable to the material substitution. A unique polarization sensitivity behavior was seen by adjusting the alignment of the CNTs within the CNT sheet patch structure. Optimal RF performance was observed when the CNTs within the sheet material were aligned with the E-plane of the patch antenna. When the CNT alignment was orthogonal to that of the E-plane of the patch antenna, the realized gain was reduced by over 8 dB. The input reactance changes from inductive to capacitive due to the geometry and alignment of the CNTs within the patch. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper reports the performance of lead–zirconate-titanate (PZT)-on-silicon electromechanical resonators as thin-film piezoelectric transformers. The PZT-on-silicon resonators rely on the odd harmonics of the contour length-extensional modes to provide a convenient means for voltage and current transformations with a single layer of piezoelectric PZT. The resistive-load-dependent voltage gains and efficiencies are derived along with the peak efficiencies and open circuit voltage gains. The models of efficiency and voltage gain are compared to the experimental measurements of fabricated PZT-on-silicon piezoelectric transformers with 2, 4, and 10 \mum of device silicon. The resonant frequencies of the devices range between 14 and 19 MHz. Peak efficiencies as high as 62% are measured and open circuit voltage gains as high as 5.7 are extracted from the measurements. The measured efficiencies with 50-\Omega loads compare within 14% of the models on average (25% peak error). The extracted open-circuit voltage gains and their models compare within 22% on average (67% peak error). The trade between the load-dependent efficiencies and voltage gains are also presented for the n=3, 5, 9, and 13 harmonics. \hfill[2012\-0339] [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Many coherent imaging modalities such as synthetic aperture radar suffer from a multiplicative noise, commonly referred to as speckle, which often makes the interpretation of data difficult. An effective strategy for speckle reduction is to use a dictionary that can sparsely represent the features in the speckled image. However, such approaches fail to capture important salient features such as texture. In this paper, we present a speckle reduction algorithm that handles this issue by formulating the restoration problem so that the structure and texture components can be separately estimated with different dictionaries. To solve this formulation, an iterative algorithm based on surrogate functionals is proposed. Experiments indicate the proposed method performs favorably compared to state-of-the-art speckle reduction methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Traditional biometric recognition systems rely on a single biometric signature for authentication. While the advantage of using multiple sources of information for establishing the identity has been widely recognized, computational models for multimodal biometrics recognition have only recently received attention. We propose a multimodal sparse representation method, which represents the test data by a sparse linear combination of training data, while constraining the observations from different modalities of the test subject to share their sparse representations. Thus, we simultaneously take into account correlations as well as coupling information among biometric modalities. A multimodal quality measure is also proposed to weigh each modality as it gets fused. Furthermore, we also kernelize the algorithm to handle nonlinearity in data. The optimization problem is solved using an efficient alternative direction method. Various experiments show that the proposed method compares favorably with competing fusion-based methods.

AB - Comparisons between one-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses are conducted systematically for advanced geometry blades, which have tip sweep, tip taper, and planform variations near the root with various materials and effects of boundary conditions in order to better understand the differences between the two approaches and the physics behind them. One-dimensional beam analysis is conducted using the rotorcraft comprehensive analysis system with variational asymptotical beam sectional analysis calculated two-dimensional cross-sectional properties. Three-dimensional finite element analysis is conducted using a commercial code MSC/Marc. Natural frequencies are calculated at various rotor rotational speeds, and the differences are quantified. There is very good agreement between the one-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses for free-free aluminum beams, even for a very short beam with beam length five times chord (L = 5 x c). The one-dimensional analysis accurately captures the planform variation near the root for an aluminum beam. In general, the differences between the one-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses occur when there is coupling, either generated from geometry (tip sweep) or material (composite), especially for high-frequency modes. Without coupling, the one-dimensional analysis appears to capture free vibration characteristics of various advanced geometry beams and blades reasonably well for at least the six lowest frequency modes when the beam length is greater than 10 times chord.

AB - A framework for uncertainty propagation in hypersonic aeroelastic and aerothermoelastic analyses is presented. First, the aeroelastic stability of a typical section representative of a control surface on a hypersonic vehicle is examined. Variability in the uncoupled natural frequencies of the system is modeled using beta probability distributions. Uncertainty in the flutter Mach number is computed using stochastic collocation. Next, the stability of an aerodynamically heated panel representing a component of the skin of a hypersonic vehicle is considered. In this case, uncertainty is due to the location of transition from laminar to turbulent flow and the heat flux prediction. The effect of propagating these uncertainties on vehicle behavior is determined. For both cases, uncertainty is treated using stochastic collocation, which is a new and effective approach for incorporating uncertainty in this class of problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Managing and reducing attrition during the first term of enlistment is a continuing priority for the services. Over the past decade, attrition rates in the Army have averaged between 25% and 30% during first-term periods of enlistment. Historically, the services have relied on education credentials, with special emphasis on possessing a high school diploma, as a primary indicator of completion rates after enlistment and as a proxy for the ability to adapt to a military lifestyle. A primary purpose of this paper is to describe Army research to develop new indicators of adaptability to augment the current system based on education credentials. This work has focused primarily on noncognitive, personality measures and how such measures can be combined with other existing measures for attrition screening during enlistment processing. These advances represent a new paradigm that relies less heavily on education credentials and can provide a more comprehensive and inclusive approach. This new approach incorporates advances in testing methodology to make it more viable for use in large-scale, high-stakes testing applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The study of attrition has largely focused on identifying demographic or biographic characteristics that predict whether soldiers complete their enlistment term. As a result, much is known about who attrites. Less is known about why soldiers attrite. This research assessed the influence of two psychological factors on U.S. Army soldier attrition: self-reported confidence that one could complete one's term of service and ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. The study sample consisted of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 14,808) who were respondents to Army surveys. Results of fitting three longitudinal models indicated that confidence in being able to complete one's term of obligation was more predictive of attrition for those reporting greater ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. This effect was significant throughout a 3-year period. This work adds to our understanding of attrition by highlighting the role of confidence and ambivalence. Implications for strategies to reduce attrition are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper presents a simple yet very effective time-domain sparse representation and associated sparse recovery techniques that can robustly process raw data-intensive ultra-wideband (UWB) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) records in challenging noisy and bandwidth management environments. Unlike most previous approaches in compressed sensing for radar in general and SAR in particular, we take advantage of the sparsity of the scene and the correlation between the transmitted and received signal directly in the raw time domain even before attempting image formation. Our framework can be viewed as a collection of practical sparsity-driven preprocessing algorithms for radar applications that restores and denoises raw radar signals at each aperture position independently, leading to a significant reduction in the memory requirement as well as the computational complexity of the sparse recovery process. Recovery results from real-world data collected by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) UWB SAR systems illustrate the robustness and effectiveness of our proposed framework on two critical applications: 1) recovery of missing spectral information in multiple frequency bands and 2) adaptive extraction and/or suppression of radio frequency interference (RFI) signals from SAR data records.

AB - A moving target indication, noncoherent change detection algorithm is introduced to detect moving targets inside buildings. The proposed algorithm is designed to attenuate image artifacts observed in coherent change detection images by utilizing noncoherent change detection, a positive threshold operation, and sidelobe minimization. The proposed algorithm is compared with coherent change detection for three moving target scenarios. It is shown that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces imaging artifacts while preserving the moving target signature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this paper, we present dictionary learning methods for sparse signal representations in a high dimensional feature space. Using the kernel method, we describe how the well known dictionary learning approaches, such as the method of optimal directions and KSVD, can be made nonlinear. We analyze their kernel constructions and demonstrate their effectiveness through several experiments on classification problems. It is shown that nonlinear dictionary learning approaches can provide significantly better performance compared with their linear counterparts and kernel principal component analysis, especially when the data is corrupted by different types of degradations.

AB - The article discusses the 1929-1931 American-led Nicaragua survey to search for potential routes for a canal to provide additional transoceanic routes beyond the existing Panama Canal. The project was under the aegis of the U.S. Secretary of War, controlled by the U.S. Army’s Chief of Engineers, and aided by the Interoceanic Canal Board. The work was undertaken by the provisional U.S. Army Engineer Battalion in Nicaragua led by U.S. Army officer Daniel I. Sultan.

AB - Though harassment and interdiction (HI) strikes were a popular US Army strategy during the early stages of the Vietnam War in 1966-67, HI strikes were effectively discontinued by 1970. The US military used HI strikes during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War, but the use of HI strikes became controversial with the US public during the Vietman War because the rounds were likely to hit nonmilitary targets, creating civilian casualties. Nevertheless, HI strikes were stopped not because of the frequent resulting collateral damage to civilians (as claimed by the army leadership) but because of budgetary concerns and the perception that HI was not cost-efficient.

AB - The U.S. Army's mechanized cavalry forces in World War II proved to be an effective blend of diverse combat capabilities and absolutely necessary for the success of American ground forces in the northwest Europe campaign. The mechanized cavalry forces, a total of twenty-seven separate squadrons organized into thirteen cavalry groups, uniquely possessed a blend of mobility, firepower, communications, and dismounted combat ability that was essential to the operational success of American field armies and corps. Mobility, combined with firepower and communications, enabled operational commanders to cover large expanses of terrain with an economy of force. The economy of force ability of the cavalry, and its ability to dismount and fight as infantry, were critical to mitigating the Army's crippling shortage of infantry units and replacements as the campaign progressed. Cavalry units, primarily the corps cavalry groups, permitted commanders to concentrate infantry at critical points, still have a continuous front, and continue offensive operations. The combat capabilities of mechanized cavalry mitigated the risk caused by the lack of density and depth in the cavalry portions of the front. The ability of mechanized cavalry leaders to order "Dismount!" to conduct operations on the ground was one of the important capabilities that enabled Eisenhower's broad-front strategy and was crucial to the success of the American Army in the European Theater.

AB - The article discusses the Detroit, Michigan, campaign of the U.S. military during the War of 1812. It discusses the role of U.S. brigadier general William Hull in the loss of Detroit to British forces and the U.S. surrender of Detroit on August 16, 1812. The article states that Hull was court-martialed and convicted on several counts of cowardice in 1814 and was sentenced to death, though the sentence was commuted by then-U.S. president James Madison. The article analyzes Hull's tactics, speculates upon his state of mind, and whether his military decisions were treasonous. It examines his mission to provide security to the Michigan territory, invade Upper Canada, and control Lake Erie.

AB - This paper examines the architecture of Dresden in the era of East/West reunification. Traditional theories of German national development have identified three foci for post-World War II development, the Geopolitics of Nostalgia that seeks to return German national identity to an era prior to World War II, Zero Point thinking that seeks to build a new Germany from the ashes of World War II and critical preservation has sought to preserve some Nazi landscapes in an effort to facilitate discussion on the controversial era. Being an East German city, however, Dresden was isolated from the development of West German identity This paper examines the ways in which East German (GDR) memory has been dealt with in the landscape. Buildings and themes of the GDR have been disavowed, modified, or removed from the center of the city. The new Dresden is a city that has minimal clues to either its Nazi or East German past. It is being presented as a city with one eye on its proud, pre-Nazi and Soviet, history and one eye on its future potential. This demonstrates the diffusion of West German models of nationalism into the East after unification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Within the study of modern cosmopolitanism is the concept that people can have multiple citizenships created through overlapping identities. While this idea of cosmopolitanism differs from Kant's one-world law, it creates situations where cosmopolitan ideas or nascent cosmopolitanism exist as a result of these multiple identities. Through connections developed from the importation of various goods, such as ceramics, ideas of taste are expanded, which provides opportunities and intensification of access to the global economy for a contested periphery. This article will combine historical and archaeological data to demonstrate the possibility of nascent cosmopolitanism within La Florida at the end of the of the first Spanish period in the 18th century.

AB - Purpose: To explore in a sample of older African Americans how religious songs were used to cope with stressful life events and to explore the religious beliefs associated with these songs. Design and Methods: Sixty-five African American older adults residing in the Southeastern US participated in a qualitative descriptive study involving criterion sampling, open-ended semi-structured interviews, qualitative content analysis, and descriptive statistics. Results: Religion expressed through song was a coping strategy for participants experiencing stressful life events who described feelings of being comforted, strengthened, able to endure, uplifted, and able to find peace by turning to the types of religious songs described here. Five types of songs were used including those evoking Thanksgiving and Praise, Instructive, Memory of Forefathers, Communication with God, and Life after Death. Implications: Religious songs are an important form of religious expression important to the mental health of older African Americans. The incorporation of religious songs into spiritual care interventions might enhance the cultural relevance of mental health interventions in this population. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - The article focuses on domain-general processes active in domain specific field of spatial cognition. It highlights three domain general processes, attention, memory and representation, which are significant for studying spatial cognition. It suggests studying processes in reverse, that is, study domain general process in domain specific field which would help in thorough understanding of these processes and he believes that spatial domain will also help in understanding these processes.

AB - Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among U.S. Army soldiers. Suicide-related ideation, which is associated with suicide attempts and suicide, can cause considerable distress. In a sample of 1,663 recently redeployed soldiers, we used factor analysis and structural equation modeling to test the associations between combat exposure, unit cohesion, and their interaction in predicting suicide-related ideation. We found that combat exposure was a significant risk factor for suicide-related ideation, while unit cohesion was a significant protective factor. The significant interaction between the two factors indicated that soldiers who experienced greater combat exposure but also had higher levels of unit cohesion had relatively lower levels of suicide-related ideation. In addition, those who had higher levels of combat exposure and lower unit cohesion were most at risk for suicide-related ideation. Our findings indicate the importance of unit cohesion in protecting soldiers from suicide-related ideation and suggest a higher risk group of soldiers who should be targeted for interventions.

AB - We present a multiattribute model called WholeSoldier Performance that measures the performance of junior enlisted soldiers in the U.S. Army; currently there is no formal performance appraisal system in place. The application is unique to decision analysis in that we utilize a common constructed scale and single-dimensional value function for all attributes to match the natural framework of model users and based on operability concerns. Additionally, we discuss model validation in both the terms of decision analysis and psychometrics in models that are used for repeated or routine assessments and thus generate significant quantities of data. We highlight visualization of data for use to support mentoring and personnel decisions to better train, assign, retain, promote, and separate current personnel. Last, we address common cultural concerns related to performance appraisals in organizations by offering a method to standardize ratings and hold raters accountable for their responsibility to mentor subordinates as well as identify their performance to the larger organization.

AB - Palytoxins are potent marine biotoxins that have recently become endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, and are becoming more frequently associated with seafood. Due to their high toxicity, suitable methods to quantify palytoxins are needed. Thus, we developed an indirect sandwich ELISA for palytoxin and 42-hydroxy-palytoxin. An intralaboratory study demonstrated sensitivity (limit of detection, LOD = 1.1 ng/mL; limit of quantitation, LOQ = 2.2 ng/mL), accuracy (bias of 2.1%), repeatability (RSDr = 6% and 9% for intra- and interassay variability, respectively) and specificity: other common marine toxins (okadaic acid, domoic acid, saxitoxin, brevetoxin-3, and yessotoxin) do not cross-react in this assay. It performed well in three different matrices: observed LOQs were 11.0, 9.6, and 2.4 ng/mL for mussel extracts, algal net samples and seawater, respectively, with good accuracy and precision. The LOQ in seafood is 11 μg palytoxin/kg mussel meat, lower than that of the most common detection technique, LC-MS/MS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: DNA vaccines combine remarkable genetic and chemical stability with proven safety and efficacy in animal models, while remaining less immunogenic in humans. In contrast, live-attenuated vaccines have the advantage of inducing rapid, robust, long-term immunity after a single-dose vaccination. Here we describe novel iDNA vaccine technology that is based on an infectious DNA platform and combines advantages of DNA and live attenuated vaccines. We applied this technology for vaccination against infection with Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), an alphavirus from the Togaviridae family. The iDNA vaccine is based on transcription of the full-length genomic RNA of the TC-83 live-attenuated virus from plasmid DNA in vivo. The in vivo-generated viral RNA initiates limited replication of the vaccine virus, which in turn leads to efficient immunization. This technology allows the plasmid DNA to launch a live-attenuated vaccine in vitro or in vivo. Less than 10ng of pTC83 iDNA encoding the full-length genomic RNA of the TC-83 vaccine strain initiated replication of the vaccine virus in vitro. In order to evaluate this approach in vivo, BALB/c mice were vaccinated with a single dose of pTC83 iDNA. After vaccination, all mice seroconverted with no adverse reactions. Four weeks after immunization, animals were challenged with the lethal epidemic strain of VEEV. All iDNA-vaccinated mice were protected from fatal disease, while all unvaccinated controls succumbed to infection and died. To our knowledge, this is the first example of launching a clinical live-attenuated vaccine from recombinant plasmid DNA in vivo. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: The percutaneous absorption of tritiated water (3H2O) through sulfur mustard (SM) exposed abdominal pig skin was measured using in vitro Franz-type static diffusion cells. The barrier function to water permeation following exposure to liquid SM for 8min and excision 3h later did not change significantly. A small, but statistically significant difference (P <0.05) in steady state penetration (Jss), permeability coefficient (Kp) and lag time (t L) of 3H2O was observed between fresh skin and skin stored frozen (−20°C) for up to two weeks. Steady-state penetration and Kp values were significantly higher (P <0.05) in skin stored frozen compared with fresh skin. Fresh naïve skin had an average Kp of 1.65×10−3 cmh−1, whereas frozen naïve skin was 2.04×10−3 cmh−1. Fresh SM exposed skin had a mean Kp of 1.72×10−3 cmh−1, whereas frozen SM exposed skin was 2.31×10−3 cmh−1. Lag times were also shorter (P <0.05) in skin that had been stored frozen. Frozen, SM-exposed porcine abdominal skin may be used for in vitro penetration studies, but effects of treatment and storage on the barrier layer should be taken into account.

AB - This is the second paper in a series of two that describe our research in intelligent energy management in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). In the first paper, we presented the machine-learning framework ML_EMO_HEV, which was developed for learning the knowledge about energy optimization in an HEV. The framework consists of machine-learning algorithms for predicting driving environments and generating the optimal power split of the HEV system for a given driving environment. In this paper, we present the following three online intelligent energy controllers: 1) IEC_HEV_SISE; 2) IEC_HEV_MISE ; and 3) IEC_HEV_MIME. All three online intelligent energy controllers were trained within the machine-learning framework ML_EMO_HEV to generate the best combination of engine power and battery power in real time such that the total fuel consumption over the whole driving cycle is minimized while still meeting the driver's demand and the system constraints, including engine, motor, battery, and generator operation limits. The three online controllers were integrated into the Ford Escape hybrid vehicle model for online performance evaluation. Based on their performances on ten test drive cycles provided by the Powertrain Systems Analysis Toolkit library, we can conclude that the roadway type and traffic congestion level specific machine learning of optimal energy management is effective for in-vehicle energy control. The best controller, IEC_HEV_MISE, trained with the optimal power split generated by the DP optimization algorithm with multiple initial SOC points and single ending point, can provide fuel savings ranging from 5% to 19%. Together, these two papers cover the innovative technologies for modeling power flow, mathematical background of optimization in energy management, and machine-learning algorithms for generating intelligent energy controllers for quasioptimal energy flow in a power-split HEV.

AB - Abstract: Provision of recreational open space is a major factor in determining resident quality of life in cities. However, urban growth and land use change models typically omit park location and allocation issues when simulating changing urban environments. This paper introduces a method for exploring the spatial allocation of urban parks (public, recreational open spaces) given differing municipal and county investment decisions. Park planning literature has established level of service metrics as rough indicators of provision of public park amenities that are useful guides for future park investment decisions within a given jurisdiction. In this study, we create a dynamic-demand location model that simulates political feedback from population growth and LOS metrics to allocate new parklands (∼0.5ha≤neighborhood parks≤∼4ha) in multi-jurisdictional urbanizing regions. We frame parks as a new development type that augments residential development currently driving a version of the Regional Urban Growth (RUG) urban simulation model, an open source, raster-based simulation platform. Our approach allows planners and researchers to explore urban patterns and distributive outcomes associated with different local open space requirements and investment choices. We illustrate this approach under scenarios for the rapidly growing, three-county Raleigh–Durham–Chapel Hill region of North Carolina, USA. We test varying delays in park planning, purchase, and construction, varying maximum park sizes, and the effects of increased investment levels in two jurisdictions within our study area. This model suggests that the most important aspect of successful park planning is the length of the lag time between residential and park development. Perhaps the most successful park planning strategy is to plan parks along with residential areas. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: We analyzed 91 relict grain-bearing micrometeorites (MMs) from two Antarctic collections: Tottuki icefield and the South Pole Water Well. To determine if the MMs are related to specific meteorite groups, we analyzed their relict olivines and low-Ca pyroxenes and compared them with olivines and pyroxenes we analyzed in various meteorites: an enstatite chondrite (EH3), a suite of carbonaceous chondrites (CM2, CR2, CV3.2, CO3.0, and CO3.2), an ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite (Tagish Lake), various unequilibrated ordinary chondrites (H3.2, L3.7, LL3.0, LL3.2, LL3.3), and a Rumuruti chondrite (R3.5/5 breccia). Mg-rich olivines are the most common relict mineral in the MMs studied (42%), followed by Fe-rich olivines (16%), Mg-rich low-Ca pyroxenes (15%), and MMs containing both Mg-rich olivine and low-Ca pyroxene (13%). If one corrects for the effects of atmospheric heating on the proportion of olivines and pyroxenes, then 59% of MMs are related to carbonaceous chondrites, 22% to ordinary chondrites (mostly unequilibrated, UOCs), and 19% to a high-Mn group. Results of textural observations suggest that four MMs resemble chondrules from CO3 carbonaceous chondrites, and one is a shock-melted H chondrite. MMs from the high-Mn group appear to have crystallized from a melt and might be fragments of chondrule-like objects similar to those found in comet 81P/Wild 2. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Sorption site selectivity and mechanism in natural organic matter (NOM) were addressed spectroscopically by the sorption of paramagnetic nitroxyl compounds (spin probes) of different polarity, TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) and HTEMPO (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl). The sorbents were Pahokee peat, Beulah-Zap lignite, and a polystyrene–poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PS-PVME) polymer blend representing the mixed aliphatic–aromatic, polar–nonpolar character of NOM. Nuclear-electron spin interaction serves as an efficient relaxation pathway, resulting in attenuation of the 13C–CP/TOSS NMR signal for 13C nuclei in proximity to the N–O· group (r–6 dependence). In the natural solids the spin probes sorbed more specifically (greater isotherm nonlinearity) and had lower rotational mobility (broader electron paramagnetic resonance signals) than in PS-PVME. Titration with spin probe indicated almost no selectivity for the different carbon functional groups of PS-PVME, and little to no selectivity for the different carbon moieties of Pahokee and Beulah, including aromatic, alkyl, O-alkyl, di-O-alkyl, and O-methyl. In any case, sorption site selectivity of spin probes to NOM was always weaker than partition selectivity found in model solvent–water (toluene, hexadecane, anisole, octanol) and cellulose–water systems. The results indicate little or no preferential sorption in NOM based on functional group chemistry or putative microdomain character, but rather are consistent with the filling of pores whose walls have an average chemical environment reflecting the bulk chemical composition of the solid. This work demonstrates for the first time the use of paramagnetic probes to study sorption specificity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Direct observation of fast-transient single event signatures often involves considerable uncertainty due to the limitations of monitoring circuitry. A built-in-self-test circuit for the measurement of single-event transients (SET) has been implemented in a 45 nm partially depleted silicon-on-insulator technology that allows for the extraction of measurement-induced uncertainty. SET pulse width data from heavy-ion experiments are provided and compared to technology computer aided design simulations. A method for compensating for the measurement bias and skew is provided.

AB - Abstract: This study investigates the effects of sub-grid lake variability on brightness temperature measurements and snow mass retrieval from passive microwave satellite data in the North Slope of Alaska. In situ snow measurements of water equivalent, depth and density collected from field surveys during 1996–2004 snow seasons were collocated with gridded SSM/I brightness temperatures. Sub-grid lake fraction was computed from a high-resolution land cover map derived from LANDSAT imagery. Another dataset was created consisting of multi-year time series of SSM/I and AMSR-E brightness temperatures and computed lake fraction. Consistent with other studies, it was found that lake fraction was negatively correlated with in situ snow depth and snow water equivalent and positively correlated with snow density, which indicates that lakes have a direct effect on snow cover distribution: They accumulate less but denser snow than surrounding land areas. Additionally, lake fraction was positively correlated with the brightness temperature measurements at 18GHz and above, but negatively correlated with the AMSR-E brightness temperatures at low frequency channels (6 and 10GHz), with the highest correlation values for the SSM/I (r=0.57) and AMSR-E (r=0.65) at 37GHz dominating the response. Brightness temperature-based lake fraction algorithms were derived using stepwise regression. Performance assessment showed that the AMSR-E algorithm was superior to the SSM/I algorithm due to the use of the low frequency measurements not available from the SSM/I instrument. Combined lake fraction- and SSM/I brightness temperature-based snow depth and snow water equivalent algorithms were also derived using stepwise regression, with improved performance compared to conventional brightness temperature-based algorithms.

AB - The development of realistic risk models that predict the dissemination, dispersion and persistence of potential biothreat agents have utilized nonpathogenic surrogate organisms such as Bacillus atrophaeus subsp. globigii or commercial products such as Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. Comparison of results from outdoor tests under different conditions requires the use of genetically identical strains; however, the requirement for isogenic strains limits the ability to compare other desirable proper-ties, such as the behavior in the environment of the same strain prepared using different methods. Finally, current methods do not allow long-term studies of persistence or reaerosolization in test sites where simulants are heavily used or in areas where B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki is applied as a biopesticide. To create a set of genetically heterogeneous yet phenotypically indistin-guishable strains so that variables intrinsic to simulations (e.g., sample preparation) can be varied and the strains can be tested under otherwise identical conditions, we have developed a strategy of introducing small genetic signatures (barcodes) into neutral regions of the genome. The barcodes are stable over 300 generations and do not impact in vitro growth or sporulation. Each barcode contains common and specific tags that allow differentiation of marked strains from wild-type strains and from each other. Each tag is paired with specific real-time PCR assays that facilitate discrimination of barcoded strains from wild-type strains and from each other. These uniquely barcoded strains will be valuable tools for research into the environmental fate of released organisms by providing specific artificial detection signatures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Three studies test whether the southern route preference, which describes the tendency for route planners to disproportionately select south- rather than north-going routes, can be attributed to regional elevation patterns; specifically, we ask whether this effect replicates in three topographically disparate international regions, one of which is characterized by higher elevations to the north and lower to the south (Padua, Italy), and two characterized by higher elevations to the south and lower to the north (Enschede, Netherlands; Sofia, Bulgaria). In all cases, we found strong evidence that route planners disproportionately select south- rather than north-going routes at rates exceeding chance. We conclude that the southern route preference is driven by strong associations between canonical direction and perceived effort of route traversal; these effects are somewhat perplexing given that such associations are not founded in the reality of physical space.

AB - Abstract: Tungsten alloys are composed of tungsten microparticles embedded in a solid matrix of transition metals such as nickel, cobalt, or iron. To understand the toxicology of these alloys, male F344 rats were intramuscularly implanted with pellets of tungsten/nickel/cobalt, tungsten/nickel/iron, or pure tungsten, with tantalum pellets as a negative control. Between 6 and 12months, aggressive rhabdomyosarcomas formed around tungsten/nickel/cobalt pellets, while those of tungsten/nickel/iron or pure tungsten did not cause cancers. Electron microscopy showed a progressive corrosion of the matrix phase of tungsten/nickel/cobalt pellets over 6months, accompanied by high urinary concentrations of nickel and cobalt. In contrast, non-carcinogenic tungsten/nickel/iron pellets were minimally corroded and urinary metals were low; these pellets having developed a surface oxide layer in vivo that may have restricted the mobilization of carcinogenic nickel. Microarray analysis of tumors revealed large changes in gene expression compared with normal muscle, with biological processes involving the cell cycle significantly up‐regulated and those involved with muscle development and differentiation significantly down‐regulated. Top KEGG pathways disrupted were adherens junction, p53 signaling, and the cell cycle. Chromosomal enrichment analysis of genes showed a highly significant impact at cytoband 7q22 (chromosome 7) which included mouse double minute (MDM2) and cyclin‐dependant kinase (CDK4) as well as other genes associated with human sarcomas. In conclusion, the tumorigenic potential of implanted tungsten alloys is related to mobilization of carcinogenic metals nickel and cobalt from corroding pellets, while gene expression changes in the consequent tumors are similar to radiation induced animal sarcomas as well as sporadic human sarcomas.

AB - The objective of the study was to investigate the absorption of quercetin aglycone in 18 healthy human subjects administered via the following oral carrier systems: suspension of quercetin (quercetin QU995 powder in Tang® and spring water), nutritional bars (First Strike™), and chews (RealFX™ Q-Plus™). Subjects were divided into 3 groups of 6 individuals each receiving 500 mg quercetin in one of the aforementioned formulations. Blood levels were monitored immediately pre- and for 32 h postadministration. The concentration of total quercetin in blood samples was determined by solid phase extraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by noncompartmental modeling using Kinetica software. The Cmax of quercetin was highest with RealFX™ Q-Plus™ Chews (1051.9 ± 393.1 μg/L) achieved within 3.3 h as compared to that for First Strike™ Bars (698.1 ± 189.5 μg/L in 2.3 h) and Tang® suspension (354.4 ± 87.6 μg/L in 4.7 h). The results showed no statistically significant difference in quercetin absorption among groups due to high variability within groups receiving quercetin from same dosage form. This study represents the first comprehensive evaluation of quercetin absorption from quercetin fortified oral food products at doses commonly used for quercetin supplementation. Practical Application: The current study describes for the first time, comprehensive evaluation of quercetin PK in humans from quercetin fortified oral food products at doses commonly used for quercetin supplementation. Owing to quercetin's potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, quercetin is widely being used as a nutritional supplement. In order to maximize the bioavailability of quercetin for its use in efficacy studies, it is important to determine its ideal oral carrier system and route for its delivery. The current research unveils vital information about quercetin supplementation to the international community, especially to soldiers, athletes, and the dietary supplement industry.

AB - As previously reported, gerP Bacillus subtilis spores were defective in nutrient germination triggered via various germinant receptors (GRs), and the defect was eliminated by severe spore coat defects. The gerP spores' GR-dependent germination had a longer lag time between addition of germinants and initiation of rapid release of spores' dipicolinic acid (DPA), but times for release of >90% of DPA from individual spores were identical for wild-type and gerP spores. The gerP spores were also defective in GR-independent germination by DPA with its associated Ca2+ divalent cation (CaDPA) but germinated better than wild-type spores with the GR-independent germinant dodecylamine. The gerP spores exhibited no increased sensitivity to hypochlorite, suggesting that these spores have no significant coat defect. Overexpression of GRs in gerP spores did lead to faster germination via the overexpressed GR, but this was still slower than germination of comparable gerP+ spores. Unlike wild-type spores, for which maximal nutrient germinant concentrations were between 500 µM and 2 mM for L-alanine and ≤10 mM for L-valine, rates of gerP spore germination increased up to between 200 mM and 1 M L-alanine and 100 mM L-valine, and at 1 M L-alanine, the rates of germination of wild-type and gerP spores with or without all alanine racemases were almost identical. A high pressure of 150 MPa that triggers spore germination by activating GRs also triggered germination of wild-type and gerP spores identically. All these results support the suggestion that GerP proteins facilitate access of nutrient germinants to their cognate GRs in spores' inner membrane. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Multimetric indexes constructed by summing metric scores have been criticized despite many of their merits. A leading criticism is the potential for investigator bias involved in metric selection and scoring. Often there is a large number of competing metrics equally well correlated with environmental stressors, requiring a judgment call by the investigator to select the most suitable metrics to include in the index and how to score them. Data-driven procedures for multimetric index formulation published during the last decade have reduced this limitation, yet apprehension remains. Multivariate approaches that select metrics with statistical algorithms may reduce the level of investigator bias and alleviate a weakness of multimetric indexes. We investigated the suitability of a direct-gradient multivariate procedure to derive an index of biotic condition for fish assemblages in oxbow lakes in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley. Although this multivariate procedure also requires that the investigator identify a set of suitable metrics potentially associated with a set of environmental stressors, it is different from multimetric procedures because it limits investigator judgment in selecting a subset of biotic metrics to include in the index and because it produces metric weights suitable for computation of index scores. The procedure, applied to a sample of 35 competing biotic metrics measured at 50 oxbow lakes distributed over a wide geographical region in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley, selected 11 metrics that adequately indexed the biotic condition of five test lakes. Because the multivariate index includes only metrics that explain the maximum variability in the stressor variables rather than a balanced set of metrics chosen to reflect various fish assemblage attributes, it is fundamentally different from multimetric indexes of biotic integrity with advantages and disadvantages. As such, it provides an alternative to multimetric procedures. Received February 24, 2012; accepted July 29, 2012 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Toxicological experiments in animals are carried outto determinethe type and severity of any potential toxic effect associated witha new lead compound. The collected data are then used to extrapolatethe effects on humans and determine initial dose regimens for clinicaltrials. The underlying assumption is that the severity of the toxiceffects in animals is correlated with that in humans. However, thereis a general lack of toxic correlations across species. Thus, it ismore advantageous to predict the toxicological effects of a compoundon humans directly from the human toxicological data of related compounds.However, many popular quantitative structureâactivity relationship(QSAR) methods that build a single global model by fitting all trainingdata appear inappropriate for predicting toxicological effects ofstructurally diverse compounds because the observed toxicologicaleffects may originate from very different and mostly unknown molecularmechanisms. In this article, we demonstrate, via application to thehuman maximum recommended daily dose data that locally weighted learningmethods, such as k-nearest neighbors, are well suitedfor predicting toxicological effects of structurally diverse compounds.We also show that a significant flaw of the k-nearestneighbor method is that it always uses a constant number of nearestneighbors in making prediction for a target compound, irrespectiveof whether the nearest neighbors are structurally similar enough tothe target compound to ensure that they share the same mechanism ofaction. To remedy this flaw, we proposed and implemented a variablenumber nearest neighbor method. The advantages of the variable numbernearest neighbor method over other QSAR methods include (1) allowingmore reliable predictions to be achieved by applying a tighter moleculardistance threshold and (2) automatic detection for when a predictionshould not be made because the compound is outside the applicabledomain.

AB - Abstract: It is of great interest to develop a pneumonic plague vaccine that would induce combined humoral and cellular immunity in the lung. Here we investigate a novel approach based on targeting of dendritic cells using the DEC-205/CD205 receptor (DEC) via the intranasal route as way to improve mucosal cellular immunity to the vaccine. Intranasal administration of Yersinia pestis LcrV (V) protein fused to anti-DEC antibody together with poly IC as an adjuvant induced high frequencies of IFN-γ secreting CD4+ T cells in the airway and lung as well as pulmonary IgG and IgA antibodies. Anti-DEC:LcrV was more efficient to induce IFN-γ/TNF-α/IL-2 secreting polyfunctional CD4+ T cells when compared to non-targeted soluble protein vaccine. In addition, the intranasal route of immunization with anti-DEC:LcrV was associated with improved survival upon pulmonary challenge with the virulent CO92 Y. pestis. Taken together, these data indicate that targeting dendritic cells via the mucosal route is a potential new avenue for the development of a mucosal vaccine against pneumonic plague.

AB - Studies investigating the impact of particle size and capping agents on nanosilver toxicity in pristine laboratory conditions are becoming available. However, the relative importance of known environmental mitigating factors for dissolved silver remains poorly characterized for nanosilver in context with existing predictive toxicity models. This study investigated the implications of freshly prepared versus stored 20 and 100 nm nanosilver stocks to freshwater zooplankton (Ceriodaphnia dubia) in presence and absence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Results indicated that while the acute toxicity of nanosilver decreased significantly with larger size and higher DOC, storage resulted in significant increases in toxicity and ion release. The most dramatic decrease in toxicity due to DOC was observed for the 20 nm particle (2.5-6.7 fold decrease), with more modest toxicity reductions observed for the 100 nm particle (2.0-2.4 fold) and dissolved silver (2.7-3.1 fold). While a surface area dosimetry presented an improvement over mass when DOC was absent, the presence of DOC confounded its efficacy. The fraction of dissolved silver in the nanosilver suspensions was most predictive of acute toxicity regardless of system complexity. Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) predictions based on the dissolved fraction in nanosilver suspensions were comparable to observed toxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Fish passing downstream through hydroelectric facilities may pass through turbines where they experience a rapid decrease in pressure, which can lead to barotraumas including swim bladder rupture, exopthalmia, emboli, and hemorrhaging. In juvenile Chinook salmon, the main mechanism for injury is thought to be expansion of existing gases (particularly those present in the swim bladder) and the rupture of the swim bladder ultimately leading to exopthalmia, emboli and hemorrhaging. In fish lacking a swim bladder, such as lamprey, barotraumas due to rapid decompression may be reduced, however this has yet to be extensively studied. Another mechanism for barotrauma can be gases coming out of solution and the rate of this occurrence may vary among species. In this study, juvenile brook and Pacific lamprey acclimated to 146.2kPa (equivalent to a depth of 4.6m) were subjected to rapid (<1s) or sustained decompression (17min) to a very low pressure (13.8kPa) using a protocol previously applied to juvenile salmon. No mortality or evidence of barotraumas was observed following rapid decompression, nor up to 120h after sustained decompression. In contrast, mortality or injury would be expected for 97.5% of juvenile Chinook salmon exposed to a similar rapid decompression to these very low pressures. Additionally, juvenile Chinook salmon experiencing sustained decompression died within 7min. Thus, juvenile lamprey may not be susceptible to barotraumas associated with turbine passage to the same degree as juvenile salmonids. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Benthic–pelagic coupling is an important habitat function provided by oyster reefs that is potentially affected by sedimentation impacts. In this study, the distributions of three resident crab species, the flat mud crab (also known as the flatback mud crab)Eurypanopeus depressus, the common mud crab (also known as the Atlantic mud crab)Panopeus herbstii, and the invasive green porcelain crabPetrolisthes armatus, were examined with respect to sedimentation on six restored intertidal eastern oysterCrassostrea virginicasites in South Carolina. Sedimentation among sites ranged from 4% to 60% cover and was composed of silty clay and sand. Crab associations with sedimentation differed among species. Common mud crabs and green porcelain crab densities were negatively correlated with percent sediment cover, whereas flat mud crab densities were not related to sediment cover. Flat mud crabs occupy the interstices of the reef, and their densities were positively correlated with scorched musselBrachidontes exustusdensities. Total crab biomass and individual body weight were converted to annual secondary production estimates, which ranged from 6.1 to 27.2 g/m2(ash-free dry weight) among sites. Sedimentation on oyster habitat reduced crab annual secondary production beyond a prediction made by a proportional inverse relationship between percent sediment cover and crab secondary production. As an example, at 50% sediment cover, crab annual secondary production was reduced by 68%. The discrepancy between observed and predicted (proportional) reductions in crab secondary production estimates were most pronounced when sedimentation levels were less than 60% cover. These results suggest the use of proportional loss estimates to mitigate for sedimentation impacts on oyster habitat, when quantified as percent sediment cover, do not adequately compensate for impacts to resident crabs and consequential energy loss to crustacean and fish predators that include many important recreational and commercial species.

AB - Metallic tungsten has civil and military applications and was considered a green alternative to lead. Recent reports of contamination in drinking water and soil have raised scrutiny and suspended some applications. This investigation employed the cabbage Brassica oleracae and snail Otala lactea as models to determine the toxicological implications of sodium tungstate and an aged tungsten powder-spiked soil containing monomeric and polymeric tungstates. Aged soil bioassays indicated cabbage growth was impaired at 436 mg of W/kg, while snail survival was not impacted up to 3793 mg of W/kg. In a dermal exposure, sodium tungstate was more toxic to the snail, with a lethal median concentration of 859 mg of W/kg. While the snail significantly bioaccumulated tungsten, predominately in the hepatopancreas, cabbage leaves bioaccumulated much higher concentrations. Synchrotron-based mapping indicated the highest levels of W were in the veins of cabbage leaves. Our results suggest snails consuming contaminated cabbage accumulated higher tungsten concentrations relative to the concentrations directly bioaccumulated from soil, indicating the importance of robust trophic transfer investigations. Finally, synchrotron mapping provided evidence of tungsten in the inner layer of the snail shell, suggesting potential use of snail shells as a biomonitoring tool for metal contamination.

AB - Escalating municipal solid waste generation coupled with decreasing landfill space needed for disposal has increased the pressure on military installations to evaluate novel approaches to handle this waste. One approach to alleviating the amount of municipal solid waste being la ml filled is the use of a new garbage-processing technology that sterilizes and separates waste into inorganic and organic components. Thus, a study was initiated to evaluate the effectiveness of using the organic component (Fluff) as a soil amendment for establishing native prairie grasses on disturbed U.S. Army training land. The Fluffmaterial was incorporated (10-20 cm) into a highly degraded sandy loam soil located in a borrow pit at Fort Benning Military Reservation, GA, in 2003. The Fluff was applied at rates of 0, 18, 36, 72, and 143 Mg ha-1 and seeded with native prairie grasses to assess its effect on aboveground and belowground biomass production and C and N cycling after 5 yr. An unseeded control (no Fluff) treatment was also evaluated as a comparison of natural recovery. After 5 yr, revegetation resulting from natural recovery in the unseeded control was sparse. However, Fluff addition improved native grass establishment, with greater biomass production being observed with increasing rates. Fluff addition also decreased soil bulk density and increased soil C and N concentrations. These results show that Fluff can be effectively used in land rehabilitation and revegetation practices as well as to improve C and N cycling of highly degraded soils for periods exceeding 5 yr after application.

AB - Abstract: We investigated two adjacent wetlands in the Lake Pontchartrain basin, one of which receives periodic input of Mississippi River water and one which does not, to gain insight into how isolation from river input impacts wetland loss in the Mississippi delta. The LaBranche (LB) wetlands bordering Lake Pontchartrain are severely degraded due to saltwater intrusion, subsidence, leveeing of the river, and hydrologic alterations including partial impoundment. Directly adjacent is the Bonnet Carré (BC) spillway, a geomorphically similar area that contains healthy baldcypress swamp. The spillway carries river water to the lake during high discharge years and has been opened eleven times in 80 years, with flows as high as 9000m3 s−1. The primary hydrologic difference between the two areas is the regular input of River water to the BC wetlands while the LB wetlands are isolated from the river. The interior of the LB wetlands is also isolated from sediment originating from Lake Pontchartrain. Long-term accretion, tree growth, and elevation were measured in these two wetland areas to determine impacts of riverine input. 137Cs accretion rates in the BC wetlands were 2.6–2.7cmyr−1, compared to 0.43 and 1.4cmyr−1, respectively, in the LB wetlands in areas without and with sediment input from Lake Pontchartrain. Baldypress growth in the BC averaged about 2.3mmringwidthyr−1, compared to 1.4mmyr−1 in LB. Trees are of relatively the same age due to lack of recruitment and widespread logging. Tree height, an indicator of site quality, is about 20% less at the LB sites compared to BC, even though the trees are approximately the same ages. The average wetland elevation in the BC wetlands was about one meter with some areas higher than two meters, and was significantly higher than elevations in the LB (average sea level and 0.3m, respectively, in areas with and without input from Lake Pontchartrain).

AB - Abstract: Ecological indicators provide early warning of adverse environmental change, helping land managers adaptively manage their resources while minimizing costly remediation. In 1999 and 2000, we studied two such indicators, growth and developmental instability, of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) influenced by mechanized infantry training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Disturbed areas were used for military training; tracked and wheeled vehicles damaged vegetation and soils. Highly disturbed sites had fewer trees, diminished ground cover, warmer soils in the summer, and more compacted soils with a shallower A-horizon. We hypothesized that disturbance would decrease the growth of needles, branches, and tree rings, increase the complexity of tree rings, and increase the developmental instability of needles. Contrary to our expectations, however, disturbance enhanced growth in the first year of the study, possibly by reducing competition. In the second year, a drought reduced growth of branches and needles, eliminating the stimulatory effect of disturbance. Growth-ring widths increased with growing-season precipitation, and decreased with growing-season temperature over the last 40 years. Disturbance had no effect on tree-ring complexity, as measured by the Hurst exponent. Within-fascicle variation of current-year needle length, a measure of developmental instability, differed among the study populations, but appeared unrelated to mechanical disturbance or drought.

AB - Management of protected species becomes increasingly complex when one protected population negatively affects another. This occurs along coastlines and in rivers and estuaries of the U.S. Pacific Northwest, where protected marine mammals prey on threatened and endangered Pacific salmonidsOncorhynchusspp. Over 9 years, we observed a growing aggregation of California sea lionsZalophus californianusand Steller sea lionsEumetopias jubatuspreying upon adult Chinook salmonO. tshawytschaand steelheadO. mykissat Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River. Both before and concurrent with the observation study, we monitored radio-tagged salmon at Bonneville Dam and during their upriver spawning migrations. Springtime sea lion abundance steadily increased from 2002 to 2010 and the aggregation formed earlier each winter. The principal prey species in winter were resident white sturgeonAcipenser transmontanusand migratory steelhead and then shifted to predominantly Chinook salmon when the spring run arrived. Observation-based estimates of salmonid consumption from January to May varied 12-fold among years (0.4–4.9%, mean = 2.6% of adult salmonids counted at the dam), and radiotelemetry results corroborated these estimates. The highest proportional impact was in winter and early spring. As salmonid abundance increased, per capita consumption by sea lions increased (Type II functional response) but individual salmonid risk decreased (due to prey swamping). Population-specific risk analyses indicated predation was substantially higher for early-timed than for late-timed salmon populations. The most at-risk group included Snake River and upper Columbia River Chinook salmon listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. These predation indices should help managers simultaneously tasked with salmon recovery and marine mammal management. Received December 19, 2011; accepted April 17, 2012 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The article investigates the ability of high-iron (Fe) biosolids-based composts to reduce the bioaccessibility of soil lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) in situ. A compost with Fe added to the wastewater treatment residuals (Fe WTR compost) added to soils at 100 g kg decreased Pb bioaccessibility in laboratory conditions. Composts tested in the field, however, did not reduce bioaccessible Pb, and limited reductions were noted in bioaccessible As. The findings suggest that addition of high-Fe biosolid compost is an effective way to reduce Pb accessibility just for some types of Fe-rich materials.

AB - Abstract: Accurate spatio-temporal predictions of land-cover are fundamentally important for assessing geomorphological and ecological patterns and processes. This study quantifies the epistemic uncertainty in the species distribution modeling, which is generated by spatio-temporal gaps between the biogeographical data, model selection and model complexity. Epistemic uncertainty is generally given by the sum of subjective and objective uncertainty. The subjective uncertainty generated by the modeler-choice in the manipulation of the environmental variables was analyzed. The Snowy Plover in Florida (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus, SP), a residential shorebird whose geographic range is extended along the Panhandle-Big Bend-Peninsula Gulf coast was considered as case-study. The first fundamental step for studying the species distribution and how it will be affected by climate change is to obtain an accurate description of the shorebird coastal habitat. The land-cover was translated into ecosystem classes using a land-cover model that predicts the evolution of coastal ecosystems affected by sea-level rise scenarios. The best land-cover map decreased the objective uncertainty (intrinsically present in data or models) in representing the spatial structure of the coastal ecosystem, reduced the temporal gaps with the occurrence data, and diminished the subjective uncertainty due to the conversion from land-cover to model-classes. Multimodeling was performed to reduce the uncertainty in the prediction of the species distribution related to model uncertainty. The best representation of the species distribution was performed by MaxEnt. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), the omission/commission test, the similarity index of the response curves, and the jackknife test were used simultaneously as indicators of the predictability of each species distribution model. The availability of updated high-resolution biogeoclimatological data was proven to be necessary in order to properly predict the species ranges for conservation purposes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - In this series of two papers, we present our research on intelligent energy management for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). These two papers cover the modeling of power flow in HEVs, the mathematical background of optimization in energy management in HEVs, a machine learning framework that combines dynamic programming (DP) with machine learning to learn about roadway-type- and traffic-congestion-level-specific energy optimization, machine learning algorithms, and real-time quasi-optimal control of energy flow in an HEV. This first paper presents our research on machine learning for optimal energy management in HEVs. We will present a machine learning framework ML_EMO_HEV developed for the optimization of energy management in an HEV, machine learning algorithms for predicting driving environments, and the generation of an optimal power split for a given driving environment. Experiments are conducted based on a simulated Ford Escape Hybrid vehicle model provided by Argonne National Laboratory's Powertrain Systems Analysis Toolkit (PSAT). Based on the experimental results on the test data, we can conclude that the neural networks trained under the ML_EMO_HEV framework are effective in predicting roadway type and traffic congestion levels, predicting driving trends, and learning optimal engine speed and optimal battery power from DP.

AB - The utility of existing models for describing upscaled mass transfer from nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) were examined when preferential dissolution pathways form in NAPL-contaminated zones that extend over the scale of decimeters. Laboratory experiments were conducted in two well-characterized, heterogeneous packings. Using data from these experiments and simulations, existing methods for upscaling the mass transfer rate coefficient for NAPL dissolution based on dissolution front length growth (LDF), aquifer heterogeneity and spatial moments of NAPL distribution, and the ganglia-to-pool ratio (GTP) were evaluated along with an equilibrium stream tube (EST) model for predicting contaminant flux. When the correlation length of permeability perpendicular to the mean water flow direction was 6.0 cm, greater than the scale of dissolution fingers, only 4.8% of the NAPL resided in pools. Dissolution fingers formed in this experiment, and the LDF, GTP, and EST models resulted in similar predictions of effluent concentrations, with root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) between 0.035 and 0.079 and the LDF-heterogeneous model best. When the correlation scale was smaller (1.0 cm), 66.7% of the NAPL was in pools, and preferential dissolution pathways were dominated by channeling, preferential dissolution caused by spatial variations in aqueous phase permeability, and NAPL saturation. For this experiment the EST and GTP models performed well, with RMSEs of 0.055 and 0.103, respectively. Dissolution fingering was important when the permeability correlation length was sufficiently large that dissolution finger formation was not disrupted and NAPL pools were not dominant.

AB - Interspecies uncertainty factors in ecological risk assessment provide conservative estimates of risk where limited or no toxicity data is available. We quantitatively examined the validity of interspecies uncertainty factors by comparing the responses of zebrafish (Danio rerio) and fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) to the energetic compound 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), a known neurotoxicant. Relative toxicity was measured through transcriptional, morphological, and behavioral end points in zebrafish and fathead minnow fry exposed for 96 h to RDX concentrations ranging from 0.9 to 27.7 mg/L. Spinal deformities and lethality occurred at 1.8 and 3.5 mg/L RDX respectively for fathead minnow and at 13.8 and 27.7 mg/L for zebrafish, indicating that zebrafish have an 8-fold greater tolerance for RDX than fathead minnow fry. The number and magnitude of differentially expressed transcripts increased with increasing RDX concentration for both species. Differentially expressed genes were enriched in functions related to neurological disease, oxidative-stress, acute-phase response, vitamin/mineral metabolism and skeletal/muscular disorders. Decreased expression of collagen-coding transcripts were associated with spinal deformity and likely involved in sensitivity to RDX. Our work provides a mechanistic explanation for species-specific sensitivity to RDX where zebrafish responded at lower concentrations with greater numbers of functions related to RDX tolerance than fathead minnow. While the 10-fold interspecies uncertainty factor does provide a reasonable cross-species estimate of toxicity in the present study, the observation that the responses between ZF and FHM are markedly different does initiate a call for concern regarding establishment of broad ecotoxicological conclusions based on model species such as zebrafish.

AB - Abstract: Applications requiring hydrogen fuel, including portable, mobile and stationary fuel cells for power generation, are increasing. The conversion of JP-8 to hydrogen offers an energy dense feedstock for hydrogen production through fuel reformation. Unfortunately, organic sulfur compounds in logistical fuels, even at part per million levels, can poison reformer and fuel cell catalysts. In this work, adsorbents based on silica supported gold ions and gold nanoparticles were synthesized and evaluated for the adsorptive desulfurization of JP-8 jet fuel. The adsorbents were evaluated with JP-8 fuel containing 430 ppmw sulfur under ambient conditions. The preparation, as well as the sulfur removal and adsorption characteristics for two adsorbents are described in this work. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Arsenic (As) is a redox-active metalloid whose toxicity and mobility in soil depend on oxidation state. Arsenite [As(III)] can be oxidized to arsenate [As(V)] by both minerals and microbes in soil however, the interaction between these abiotic and biotic processes is not well understood. In this study, the time dependency of As(III) oxidation by two heterotrophic soil bacteria (Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Pseudomonas fluorescens) and a poorly crystalline manganese (Mn) oxide mineral (δ-MnO2) was determined using batch experiments. The apparent rate of As(V) appearance in solution was greater for the combined batch experiments in which bacteria and δ-MnO2 were oxidizing As(III) at the same time than for either component alone. The additive effect of the mixed cell-δ-MnO2 system was consistent for short (<1 h) and long (24 h) term coincubation indicating that mineral surface inhibition by cells has little effect the As(III) oxidation rate. Surface interactions between cells and the mineral surface were indicated by sorption and pH-induced desorption results. Total sorption of As on the mineral was lower with bacteria present (16.1 ± 0.8% As sorbed) and higher with δ-MnO2 alone (23.4 ± 1%) and As was more easily desorbed from the cell-δ-MnO2 system than from δ-MnO2 alone. Therefore, the presence of bacteria inhibited As sorption and decreased the stability of sorbed As on δ-MnO2 even though As(III) was oxidized fastest in a mixed cell-δ-MnO2 system. The additive effect of biotic (As-oxidizing bacteria) and abiotic (δ-MnO2 mineral) oxidation processes in a system containing both oxidants suggests that mineral-only results may underestimate the oxidative capacity of natural systems with biotic and abiotic As(III) oxidation pathways.

AB - Abstract: The expedient field disposal of excess gun propellants on the ground is an integral part of live-fire training in many countries. However, burning excess propellant in the field will leave significant quantities of energetic residues and heavy metals in the environment. Compounds such as dinitrotoluene and nitroglycerin and metals such as lead will leach into the soil column, eventually migrating to groundwater. Contamination of the environment will lead to high remediation costs and the possible loss of the training facility. After investigating the contamination at several propellant disposal sites, a portable propellant burn pan was developed and tested. The pan was transported to training sites where excess propellant was loaded and burned in a controlled manner. Up to 120kg of excess single-base propellant charges have been burned during two series of tests at a consumption rate of greater than 99.9%. Less than 0.03% of the energetic material was recovered outside the burn pan. Recovered lead is largely contained within the pan. The turnover rate for burns is 15min. The residues can be collected following cool-down for proper disposal. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Phalaris arundinacea (reed canarygrass) is recognized as a problematic invader of North American marshes, decreasing biodiversity and persisting in the face of control efforts. Less is known about its ecology or management in forested wetlands, providing an opportunity to apply information about factors critical to an invader's control in one wetland type to another. In a potted plant experiment and in the field, we documented strong competitive effects of reed canarygrass on the establishment and early growth of tree seedlings. In the field, we demonstrated the effectiveness of a novel restoration strategy, combining site scarification with late fall applications of pre-emergent herbicides. Treatments delayed reed canarygrass emergence the following spring, creating a window of opportunity for the early growth of native plants in the absence of competition from the grass. They also allowed for follow-up herbicide treatments during the growing season. We documented greater establishment of wetland herbs and tree seedlings in treated areas. Data from small exclosures suggest, however, that deer browsing can limit tree seedling height growth in floodplain restorations. Slower tree growth will delay canopy closure, potentially allowing reed canarygrass re-invasion. Thus, it may be necessary to protect tree seedlings from herbivory to assure forest regeneration.

AB - Abstract: The occurrence of status epilepticus (SE) is considered the main cause of brain lesions and morphological alterations, such as hippocampal neuron loss, that result in chronic epilepsy. Previous work demonstrated the convulsive and widespread neuropathological effects of soman, an organophosphorus compound that causes SE and severe recurrent seizures as a result of exposure. Seizures begin rapidly after exposure, can continue for hours, and contribute to prolonged physical incapacitation of the victim. This study attempts to identify anticonvulsive and neuroprotective drugs against soman exposure. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 1.0LD50 soman. EEGraphical and neuropathological (Fluoro-Jade B staining) effects were analyzed at 72h post-exposure to soman and subsequent treatments with diazepam (DZP) alone or in combination with histone deacetylase inhibitors, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) or valproic acid (VPA). The extent of brain damage was dependent on the length of SE and not on the number of recurrent seizures. DZP treatment alone decreased SE time and damage in hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus and cortex, but not in piriform nuclei. The combination of DZP and VPA 100mg/kg showed more anticonvulsive effects, decreased SE time, and afforded more neuroprotection in the hippocampus, mainly the ventral portion. The combination DZP and SAHA 25mg/kg was more neuroprotective, but not more anticonvulsant than DZP alone. The DZP combination with VPA HDAC inhibitor proved to be a good treatment for SE and neuronal damage caused by soman exposure. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Pharmacological control of seizure activity following nerve agent exposure is critical in reducing neuropathology and improving survival in casualties. Three classes of drugs, anticholinergics, benzodiazepines and excitatory amino acid (EAA) antagonists, have been shown to be effective at moderating nerve agent-induced seizures. However, little is known about which brain structures are involved in producing the anticonvulsant response. This study evaluated drugs from each class, injected directly into one of three specific brain structures, the perirhinal cortex, the entorhinal cortex, or the mediodorsal thalamus, for their ability to modulate seizures induced by the nerve agent soman. The drugs evaluated were the anticholinergic scopolamine, the benzodiazepine midazolam, and the EAA antagonist MK-801. For each drug treatment in each brain area, anticonvulsant ED50 values were calculated using an up-down dosing procedure over successive animals. There was no statistical difference in the anticonvulsant ED50 values for scopolamine and MK-801 in the perirhinal and entorhinal cortices. MK-801 pretreatment in the mediodorsal thalamus had a significantly lower anticonvulsant ED50 value than any other treatment/injection site combination. Midazolam required significantly higher doses than scopolamine and MK-801 in the perirhinal and entorhinal cortices to produce an anticonvulsant response and was ineffective in the mediodorsal thalamus. These findings support the contention that specific neuroanatomical pathways are activated during nerve agent-induced seizures and that the discrete brain structures involved have unique pharmacological thresholds for producing an anticonvulsant response. This study is also the first to show the involvement of the mediodorsal thalamus in the control of nerve agent-induced seizures. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Individually, γ-glutamylcysteine (GGC), a dipeptide and precursor of glutathione (GSH), and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a trans-fatty acid, exhibit antioxidant properties. The objective of this study was to compare effects of co-administration of GGC and CLA to treatment with GGC alone on oxidative stress and GSH synthesis in human endothelial cells. Changes in levels of 8-epi-PGF2α, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), GSH, total antioxidants, GSH synthetase (GSS) expression, and transcription factor DNA binding were assessed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) treated with GGC alone (100μmol/L) or combined with CLA isomer mixture (10, 50, 100μmol/L) for 24h. Significantly higher levels of TBARS, 8-epi-PGF2α, GSH, and GSS protein were found in cells treated with GGC and 10μmol/L CLA, compared to cells treated with GGC alone, indicative of prooxidant effects of CLA. Approximately 40% cell death was microscopically observed in cells incubated with GGC and 100μmol/L CLA. Despite lower levels of GSH, treatment with GGC and 50μmol/L CLA appeared to be protective from oxidative stress similar to treatment with GGC alone, as indicated by lower levels of TBARS, compared to control cells not treated with GGC and CLA.

AB - Abstract: The use of munitions constituents (MCs) at military installations can produce soil and groundwater contamination that requires periodic monitoring even after training or manufacturing activities have ceased. Traditional groundwater monitoring methods require large volumes of aqueous samples (e.g., 2–4L) to be shipped under chain of custody, to fixed laboratories for analysis. The samples must also be packed on ice and shielded from light to minimize degradation that may occur during transport and storage. The laboratory’s turn-around time for sample analysis and reporting can be as long as 45d. This process hinders the reporting of data to customers in a timely manner; yields data that are not necessarily representative of current site conditions owing to the lag time between sample collection and reporting; and incurs significant shipping costs for samples. The current work compares a field portable Gas Chromatograph–Mass Spectrometer (GC–MS) for analysis of MCs on-site with traditional laboratory-based analysis using High Performance Liquid Chromatography with UV absorption detection. The field method provides near real-time (within ∼1h of sampling) concentrations of MCs in groundwater samples. Mass spectrometry provides reliable confirmation of MCs and a means to identify unknown compounds that are potential false positives for methods with UV and other non-selective detectors.

AB - Abstract: Fragmentation grenades contain Composition B (RDX and TNT) within a steel shell casing. There is the potential for off-site migration of high explosives and metals from hand grenade training ranges by transport in surface water and subsurface transport in leachate. This treatability study used bench-scale columns and mesocosm-scale laboratory lysimeters to investigate the potential of hydrated lime as a soil amendment for in situ remediation of explosives and metals stabilization in hand grenade range soils. Compared to the unamended soil there was a 26–92% reduction of RDX in the leachate and runoff water from the lime treated soils and a 66–83% reduction of zinc in the leachate and runoff water samples; where the hand grenade range metals of concern were zinc, iron, and manganese. The amended soil was maintained at the target pH of greater than 10.5 for optimum explosives decomposition. The treatability study indicated a high potential of success for scale-up to an in situ field study. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Multi-pathway risk assessments (MPRAs) of contaminant emissions to the atmosphere consider both direct exposures, via ambient air, and indirect exposures, via deposition to land and water. MPRAs embody numerous interconnected models and parameters. Concatenation of many multiplicative and incompletely defined assumptions and inputs can result in risk estimates with considerable uncertainties, which are difficult to quantify and elucidate. Here, three MPRA case-studies approach uncertainties in ways that better inform context-specific judgments of risk. In the first case, default values predicted implausibly large impacts; substitution of site-specific data within conservative methods resulted in reasonable and intuitive worst-case estimates. In the second, a simpler, clearly worst-case water quality model sufficed to demonstrate acceptable risks. In the third case, exposures were intentionally and transparently overestimated. Choices made within particular MPRAs depend on availability of data as suitable replacements for default assumptions, regulatory requirements, and thoughtful consideration of the concerns of interested stakeholders. Explicit consideration of the biases inherent in each risk assessment lends greater credibility to the assessment results, and can form the bases for evidence-based decision-making.

AB - A conformal embedded wideband metaresonator antenna is proposed for military vehicular applications. Metamaterials are artificial materials that exhibit plasmonic resonances with subwavelength sizes of metallic structures. Metaresonator antennas use metamaterial structures as radiators to reduce the size of antennas and design multiband antennas. A small-dipole antenna is placed on a high-impedance ground plane with a conjoined split-ring resonator (SRR). The total volume of the antenna, including the effectively high impedance ground plane, is only \0.51\lambda0 \times \0.41\lambda0 \times \0.05 \lambda0. The embedded multilayer ceramic antenna was fabricated using a low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technique and is well suited for embedment in the armor. Very good agreement was obtained between full-wave simulation results and measurements of the reflection coefficient and radiation pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Abstract: Successful bioremediation of contaminated soils is controlled by the ability to deliver bioremediation additives, such as bacteria and/or nutrients, to the contaminated zone. Because hydraulic advection is not practical for delivery in clays, electrokinetic (EK) injection is an alternative for efficient and uniform delivery of bioremediation additive into low-permeability soil and heterogeneous deposits. EK-enhanced bioaugmentation for remediation of clays contaminated with chlorinated solvents is evaluated. Dehalococcoides (Dhc) bacterial strain and lactate ions are uniformly injected in contaminated clay and complete dechlorination of chlorinated ethene is observed in laboratory experiments. The injected bacteria can survive, grow, and promote effective dechlorination under EK conditions and after EK application. The distribution of Dhc within the clay suggests that electrokinetic transport of Dhc is primarily driven by electroosmosis. In addition to biodegradation due to bioaugmentation of Dhc, an EK-driven transport of chlorinated ethenes is observed in the clay, which accelerates cleanup of chlorinated ethenes from the anode side. Compared with conventional advection-based delivery, EK injection is significantly more effective for establishing microbial reductive dechlorination capacity in low-permeability soils.

AB - This meta-analysis of both published and unpublished studies assesses factors believed to influence adoption of agricultural Best Management Practices in the United States. Using an established statistical technique to summarize the adoption literature in the United States, we identified the following variables as having the largest impact on adoption: access to and quality of information, financial capacity, and being connected to agency or local networks of farmers or watershed groups. This study shows that various approaches to data collection affect the results and comparability of adoption studies. In particular, environmental awareness and farmer attitudes have been inconsistently used and measured across the literature. This meta-analysis concludes with suggestions regarding the future direction of adoption studies, along with guidelines for how data should be presented to enhance the adoption of conservation practices and guide research.

AB - Summary: The Mississippi is the largest riverine system in North America and one of the most engineered rivers in the world. The challenges of studying the Mississippi River are due to its complex sediment–water dynamics and the multi (and often competing) uses for its resources. Flood control and navigation are primary factors that control how the river is managed. A third factor is the use of river resources, namely water and sediment, for nourishing the degrading coastal wetlands of the states of Louisiana and Mississippi. As such, these factors must be fully considered and coordinated while investigating and developing techniques to harness the sediment resources of the River for coastal restoration. This paper presents a detailed suspended sediment budget analysis for the lowermost Mississippi and Atchafalaya River systems for the flood years of 2008, 2009, and 2010. Data were derived mainly from Federal and State of Louisiana measurements of water discharge and suspended sediment load at (1) monitoring stations along the river channel and (2) boat-based measurements made during specific project studies at natural passes and man-made channel diversions. The present study was focused on flood years 2008–2010 to (1) minimize the influence on the budgets of a historical decline in sediment loads carried by the river as observed by previous investigators and (2) take advantage of recent improvements in the monitoring network. The results show that both the Mississippi and Atchafalaya distributary pathways were efficient at sequestering suspended sediments, particularly the larger (sand) size fraction. Approximately 44% of the total Mississippi+Red River suspended load (80% of the sand) reaching Old River Control structures split between the distributaries was sequestered upstream of the Gulf of Mexico by overbank storage and channel bed aggradation. Increases in bed aggradation in the Mississippi distributary are linked to a loss of stream power associated with man-made and natural exits upstream of the Gulf of Mexico. This further decreased the water and suspended sediment load reaching the deep water Gulf distributary exits in FY08–10 to 46% (water), 19% (total suspended load), and 1.4% (suspended sand). These patterns of sediment storage and delivery have major implications for channel dredging and river sediment diversions planned for Louisiana coastal restoration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Each year, telemetry tags (acoustic, radio, and passive integrated transponder tags) are surgically implanted into thousands of fish to assess their passage and survival through hydropower facilities. One passage route that is of particular concern is through hydroturbines, where fish may be exposed to a range of potential injuries that include barotraumas from rapid decompression. The change in pressure from acclimation to exposure (nadir) has been identified as an important factor in predicting the likelihood of mortality and injury for juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha undergoing rapid decompression associated with simulated turbine passage. The presence of telemetry tags has also been shown to influence the likelihood of mortality and injury for juvenile Chinook salmon. We investigated the likelihood of mortality and injury for telemetry-tagged juvenile Chinook salmon that were exposed to a range of pressure changes associated with simulated turbine passage. Several factors were examined as predictors of mortal injury for fish undergoing rapid decompression; of these factors, the log e transformed ratio of acclimation pressure: exposure pressure (LRP) and the tag burden (tag mass expressed as a percentage of fish mass) were the most predictive. As the LRP and tag burden increased, the likelihood of mortal injury also increased. Our results suggest that previous estimates of survival for juvenile Chinook salmon passing through hydroturbines were negatively biased due to the presence of telemetry tags, and this has direct implications for the management of hydroelectric facilities. Realistic examples indicate how the bias in turbine passage survival estimates could be 20% or higher depending on the LRP and tag burden. Negative bias would increase as the tag burden and the pressure change ratio increase and therefore has direct implications for survival estimates. We recommend that future hydroturbine survival studies use the smallest telemetry tags possible to minimize the potential bias associated with tag presence.

AB - Abstract: Lignite, anthracite, humic acid fraction of lignite, and their laboratory-prepared black carbon (BC) were characterized in detail by advanced solid state 13C NMR spectroscopy to examine how the differences in chemical structures of fuels (lignite and anthracite) would affect the structures of their BC. Anthracite was almost completely dominated by aromatics (96.9%), with very minor CCH3. Although lignite contained mostly aromatics (76.1%), significant aliphatics (21.3%) as well as small amounts of COO/Nh name="dbnd" />O and O-alkyls were also present. In addition, anthracite had more aromatic Cthan lignite. Their BC samples both exhibited increased oxygenated functional groups such as COO, aromatic Clkyl groups, and concomitant decrease of aromatic Cpolar alkyls. The 1H 13C recoupled long-range dipolar dephasing experiments indicated the growth of aromatic cluster sizes in BC. Although the aromaticity of anthracite was much larger than those of lignite and lignite humic acid, their aromatic cluster sizes were quite similar. The BC samples had much larger aromatic cluster sizes than anthracite despite their smaller aromaticities. Therefore, higher rank or higher aromaticity may not imply larger aromatic cluster size in coal. The structures of two BC samples were similar despite the contrasting structural differences of their original coals. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Fire exclusion over the past 100years has changed the vegetative community and led to an increase in the propensity for large catastrophic wildfires of ponderosa pine forests. Prescribed burning is used to reduce fuel loads and achieve desired stand conditions while the impact caused by this restoration process is primarily dependent on the severity of the fire, which is managed by burning in either fall or spring. The objectives of this study were to assess the effect of season and interval of burn on soil and tree productivity in a ponderosa pine forest in Malheur National Forest of the southern Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. Prescribed burning was initiated in the spring of 1997 and fall of 1997 at 5- and 15-year intervals. This study was initiated in 2004 so that the 5-year interval plots had burned twice with 1–2years of recovery while the 15-year interval plots had burned only once with 6–7years of recovery since the last fire. Soils were sampled by major genetic horizon and A horizon samples were analyzed for soil available nitrogen (KCl extractable and ) and phosphorous (Bray 1 extract). Soil temperature (2cm) and moisture (7.5, 25, 50, and 100cm) were monitored for 24months. Observations and previous studies indicated that fall burns were more severe than spring burns consuming more fuel and leading to higher rates of tree mortality. Extractable and phosphate increased with multiple burns relative to the single burn treatments, but were statistically similar to the control. Soil temperatures were found to be highest in the more severe fall burn treatments, particularly the 5-year interval burns. Soil moisture was also slightly higher with the 5-year interval burns, possibly due to reduced transpiration from understory vegetation and/or reduced interception by the O horizon. These changes to the soil did not significantly affect ponderosa pine growth relative to the control and may have caused a slight increase in tree growth with the spring burns applied at a 5-year interval relative to the other burn treatments. We hypothesize that low severity spring burning improved the soil growing environment without injuring trees. Combined with results from previous studies spring burns appear to preserve stand productivity, soil carbon and nitrogen, and understory vegetative communities. However, more research is necessary to examine the long-term consequences of repeated burning in these forest types. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Given evidence that the immune system is sensitive to environmental contaminants, evaluating immunocompetence in toxicology studies is increasingly important. By incorporating a test of humoral response into controlled reproductive and developmental studies, more comprehensive results can be gathered to assess the potential for disease. The foreign red blood cells (RBC) challenge is a minimally invasive method for evaluating humoral responses to a foreign antigen. Typically, antibody response is assessed following injections of sheep erythrocytes; however, Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) are only minimally sensitive to sheep RBC. In the present study, adult Japanese quail were treated with 5% solutions of RBC from goose, goat, cow, donkey, or pig in primary and secondary challenges. After each treatment, plasma samples were taken and antibody responses were measured for total immunoglobulins (Ig), IgG, and IgM. Overall, goose RBC generated the poorest responses in both primary and secondary challenges, while the strongest antibody responses were to pig and donkey RBC. Therefore, pig RBC appear to be a superior antigen for testing humoral response in Japanese quail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The consideration of multiple or cumulative sources of exposure to a chemical is important for adequately protecting human health. This assessment demonstrates one way to consider multiple or cumulative sources through the development of a relative source contribution (RSC) factor for the explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), using the Exposure Decision Tree approach (subtraction method) recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The RSC factor is used to ensure that the concentration of a chemical allowed by a regulatory criterion or multiple criteria, when combined with other identified sources of exposure common to the population of concern, will not result in unacceptable exposures. An exposure model was used to identify relevant potential sources for receptors. Potential exposure pathways include ingestion of soil, water, contaminated local crops and fish, and dermal contact with soil and water. These pathways are applicable only to areas that are in close proximity to current or former military bases where RDX may have been released into the environment. Given the physical/chemical properties and the available environmental occurrence data on RDX, there are adequate data to support a chemical-specific RSC factor for RDX of 50% for drinking water ingestion.

AB - Abstract: The chemical warfare nerve agent, soman irreversibly inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) leading to hypercholinergy and seizures which trigger glutamate toxicity and status epilepticus ultimately resulting in neuropathology and neurobehavioral deficits. The standard emergency treatment comprising of anticholinergic, AChE reactivator and anticonvulsant does not completely protect against soman toxicity. We have evaluated imidazenil, a new anticonvulsant imidazo benzodiazepine with high affinity and intrinsic efficacy at α5-, α2-, and α3- but low intrinsic efficacy at α1-containing GABAA receptors and is devoid of cardiorespiratory depression, sedative/hypnoitc and amnestic actions and does not elicit tolerance and dependence liabilities unlike diazepam, for protection against soman toxicity. Guinea pigs implanted with bipotential radiotelemetry probes for recording EEG and ECG were administered with 26μg/kg pyridostigmine bromide 30min prior to 2× LD50 soman exposure and 1min later treated with a combination of 2mg/kg atropine sulfate and 25mg/kg 2-pralidoxime and various doses of imidazenil. Intramuscular administration of imidazenil, dose-dependently protected against 2× LD50 of soman toxicity up to 1mg/kg. Further increase in the dose of imidazenil to 2.5mg/kg was less effective than 1mg/kg probably due to non-specific actions at sites other than GABAA receptors. Compared to vehicle group, 1mg/kg imidazenil treatment showed optimal increase in survival rate, reduction in behavioral manifestations and high power of EEG spectrum as well as neuronal necrosis. These data suggest that imidazenil is an effective anticonvulsant for medical countermeasure against soman-induced toxicity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - A comprehensive, weight-of-evidence based ecological risk assessment approach integrating laboratory and in situ bioaccumulation and toxicity testing, passive sampler devices, hydrological characterization tools, continuous water quality sensing, and multi-phase chemical analyses was evaluated. The test site used to demonstrate the approach was a shallow estuarine wetland where groundwater seepage and elevated organic and inorganic contaminants were of potential concern. Although groundwater was discharging into the surficial sediments, little to no chemical contamination was associated with the infiltrating groundwater. Results from bulk chemistry analysis, toxicity testing, and bioaccumulation, however, suggested possible PAH toxicity at one station, which might have been enhanced by UV photoactivation, explaining the differences between in situ and laboratory amphipod survival. Concurrently deployed PAH bioaccumulation on solid-phase micro-extraction fibers positively correlated (r 2 ≥ 0.977) with in situ PAH bioaccumulation in amphipods, attesting to their utility as biomimetics, and contributing to the overall improved linkage between exposure and effects demonstrated by this approach.

AB - In situ-based testing using aquatic organisms has been widely reported, but is often limited in scope and practical usefulness in making decisions on ecological risk and remediation. To provide this capability, an integrated deployment system, the Sediment Ecotoxicity Assessment (SEA) Ring was developed, which incorporates rapid in situ hydrological, chemical, bioaccumulation, and toxicological Lines-of-Evidence (LoE) for assessing sediment and overlying water contamination. The SEA Ring system allows for diver-assisted, or diverless, deployment of multiple species of ecologically relevant and indigenous organisms in three different exposures (overlying water, sediment–water interface, and bulk sediment) for periods ranging from two days to three weeks, in a range of water systems. Measured endpoints were both sublethal and lethal effects as well as bioaccumulation. In addition, integrated passive sampling devices for detecting nonpolar organics (solid phase micro-extraction fibers) and metals (diffusive gradients in thin films) provided gradient measures in overlying waters and surficial sediments.

AB - We applied acoustic telemetry methods to characterize migration pathways and estimate associated travel times and survival probabilities for juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and steelhead O. mykiss migrating downstream through the Columbia River estuary (from river kilometer [rkm] 86 to rkm 8). Acoustic-tagged fish were detected as migrating in the navigation channel and in off-channel areas at each of the estuarine reaches we examined during May–August 2010. However, the majority of fish traveled in the main navigation channel from rkm 86 to rkm 37, at which point most fish left the river-influenced navigation channel; crossed a broad, shallow tidal flat; and migrated the final 37 km in a secondary channel, which was characterized as having greater tidal transport than the navigation channel. The pathway used by acoustic-tagged smolts to migrate through the estuary affected their rate of travel. In most reaches, navigation channel migrants traveled significantly faster than fish that migrated through off-channel areas. Contrary to observations from previous studies, smolts that migrated through off-channel areas at a slower rate did not experience lower survival than their cohorts that used the navigation channel. Although no significant differences in survival probability were observed between navigation channel migrants and off-channel migrants, areas of high mortality were identified between rkm 37 and rkm 8. Dispersion of juvenile salmonids into multiple pathways during downstream migration can be beneficial in terms of increased expression of life history diversity and resiliency to environmental perturbations. Our results, which document juvenile salmon migration pathways and associated travel time and survival through a large estuary, can be used to focus future research and management activities in areas identified as having high mortality and therefore can be used to aid in the recovery of Endangered Species Act-listed salmon populations.

AB - Summary: Water surface elevations and daily flows are measured in the St. Johns and Nassau Rivers (north Florida) and reveal a storm event in mid-May 2009 and a sea level anomaly in June and July 2009. In an effort to reproduce these events, wind and tidally driven hydrodynamics are simulated from the deep ocean into the St. Johns and Nassau Rivers using a shallow water equations model. Calibration adjusts spatially distributed Manning’s roughness based on modeled-observed discharge. For validation, the model captures the regular tidal fluctuation as well as the hydrodynamic responses of the storm event in mid-May at the six water level gaging stations. At the flow gaging station, the model captures the ebb tendency of the tide as well as a strong perturbation (flood pulse) that occurs because of the storm event in mid-May. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Scientific visualization of geospatial data provides highly effective tools for analysis and communication of information about the land surface and its features, properties, and temporal evolution. Whereas single-surface visualization of landscapes is now routinely used in presentation of Earth surface data, interactive 3D visualization based upon multiple elevation surfaces and cutting planes is gaining recognition as a powerful tool for analyzing landscape structure based on multiple return Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. This approach also provides valuable insights into land surface changes captured by multi-temporal elevation models. Thus, animations using 2D images and 3D views are becoming essential for communicating results of landscape monitoring and computer simulations of Earth processes. Multiple surfaces and 3D animations are also used to introduce novel concepts for visual analysis of terrain models derived from time-series of LiDAR data using multi-year core and envelope surfaces. Analysis of terrain evolution using voxel models and visualization of contour evolution using isosurfaces has potential for unique insights into geometric properties of rapidly evolving coastal landscapes. In addition to visualization on desktop computers, the coupling of GIS with new types of graphics hardware systems provides opportunities for cutting-edge applications of visualization for geomorphological research. These systems include tangible environments that facilitate intuitive 3D perception, interaction and collaboration. Application of the presented visualization techniques as supporting tools for analyses of landform evolution using airborne LiDAR data and open source geospatial software is illustrated by two case studies from North Carolina, USA.

AB - Given the increasing expansion of human dominated landscapes it often becomes necessary to relocate endangered and at-risk species from existing habitat areas. Further, there is growing research stating that climatic and atmospheric changes attributed to climate change are already affecting species distributions and geographic ranges, requiring endangered species to be relocated. Existing reserve design models mostly focus on choosing the optimal land area given existing species distributions and have not incorporated species relocation as a criterion. This paper introduces linear integer programming formulations for the relocation of multiple populations of a species at risk to clustered conservation areas. We present a basic clustered relocation model and extend the model to minimize the distances of relocation. We apply the models to a dataset related to Gopher Tortoise (GT), a keystone species currently considered ‘at risk’, at Ft. Benning Georgia where expanding military training needs require the relocation of GTs. We present the results and discuss the trade-off between compactness and relocation considerations using an efficiency frontier. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus is a U.S. federally endangered species that occurs in the 320-km middle Mississippi River (MMR). Historic in-channel island habitat has vanished, and the extent of the population's range within the MMR is unknown. We surgically implanted ultrasonic transmitters in 88 adult pallid sturgeon (>600 mm fork length; mean = 791 mm) during 2002–2005 and used boat-mounted hydrophones to quantify their seasonal use of major MMR habitat features (wing dikes, side channels, island side channel tips, tributaries, and main channel; total of 8,629 river kilometers monitored). Distance from habitat features (gravel bars, wing dikes, and island side channels) was quantified during spring, a period considered to be critical for many fish species. We quantified maximum seasonal movement of each fish in the entire MMR with stationary data-logging hydrophones during 2004–2006. Combining data across years and seasons, we found that pallid sturgeon selected the tips of wing dikes over other habitat features. However, during spring pallid sturgeon moved from the tips of wing dikes to within about 100 m of known gravel bars. Maximum distance moved by pallid sturgeon varied the most in spring relative to other seasons. One pallid sturgeon moved through the entire study reach, and a few individuals left the MMR for the Missouri River or the lower Mississippi River. Unique flow and substrate characteristics of wing dikes probably emulated missing habitat complexity (i.e., in-channel islands, deep scour holes, and sand bars). Other habitats such as gravel bars may be important during spring, although their contributions to reproduction, foraging, and survival of pallid sturgeon are unknown. The range of this pallid sturgeon population extends beyond the entire stretch of the MMR into other river basins; thus, the population requires rangewide management.

AB - A proportion of juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and other salmonids travel through one or more turbines during their seaward migration in the Columbia and Snake rivers. There is limited information on how these fish respond to the hydraulic pressures found during turbine passage events. We exposed juvenile Chinook salmon to varied acclimation pressures and subsequent exposure pressures to mimic the hydraulic pressures of large Kaplan turbines. Additionally, we varied abiotic (total dissolved gas and rate of pressure change) and biotic factors (condition factor, fish length, and fish weight) that may contribute to the incidence of mortal injury associated with fish passage through hydropower turbines. We determined that the main factor associated with the mortal injury of juvenile Chinook salmon during simulated turbine passage was the ratio between the acclimation pressure and the lowest exposure pressure. Condition factor, total dissolved gas, and rate of pressure change were found to only slightly increase the predictive power of the equations relating the probability of mortal injury to the conditions of exposure or the characteristics of the test fish during simulated turbine passage. This research should assist engineers and fisheries managers in operating and improving hydroelectric facilities while minimizing mortality and injury to turbine-passed juvenile Chinook salmon. Using these data, models can be built that might determine how much mortal injury is present at different turbine operations as pressures change. Further, pressure data coupled with the mortal injury data should be useful to engineers and turbine manufacturers when designing new turbines, which could not only increase power generation and efficiency but also minimize barotrauma to the fish that pass through them.

AB - The size reduction of acoustic transmitters has led to a reduction in the length of the incision needed to implant a transmitter. Smaller suture knot profiles and fewer sutures may be adequate for closing an incision used to surgically implant an acoustic transmitter. As a result, faster surgery times and reduced tissue trauma could lead to increased survival and decreased infection for implanted fish. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of five suturing techniques on mortality, tag and suture retention, incision openness, ulceration, and redness in juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha implanted with acoustic transmitters. Suturing was performed by three surgeons, and study fish were held at two water temperatures (12°C and 17°C). Mortality was low and tag retention was high for all treatments on all examination days (7, 14, 21, and 28 d postsurgery). Because there was variation by surgeon in suture retention among treatments, further analyses included only the one surgeon who received feedback training in all suturing techniques. Incision openness and tissue redness did not differ among treatments. The only difference observed among treatments was in tissue ulceration. Incisions closed with a horizontal mattress pattern had more ulcerations than did other treatments among fish held for 28 d at 17°C. Results from this study suggest that one simple interrupted 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 suture is adequate for closing incisions on fish under most circumstances. However, in dynamic environments, two simple interrupted 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 sutures should provide adequate incision closure. Reducing bias in survival and behavior tagging studies is important when making comparisons with the migrating salmon population. Therefore, by minimizing the effects of tagging on juvenile salmon (reduced tissue trauma and reduced surgery time) researchers can more accurately estimate survival and behavior.

AB - This paper contains the results of aging study performed on 365-day-old trial highway embankments constructed of field-compacted dredged material (DM), steel slag fines (SSF), and three DM-SSF blends. Key findings include that moisture content of the internal core at 365 days was essentially unchanged from the as-built conditions, and the bulk (major oxide) chemistry of the DM-SSF blends matched what was predicted by the field blending ratios. The addition of SSF to the 100% DM resulted in significant pH buffering and in strength increases up to a factor of 2, as measured by the average cone penetrometer test (CPT) tip resistance. Refusal ( or ) was encountered in the 100% SSF embankment at a depth of approximately 1.5 m. The 365-day aged 100% DM and DM-SSF blend had effective friction angles on the order of 34 and 52°, respectively, where the dry DM content is reported first. Quantitative X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that no new crystalline phases were observed in the DM-SSF blends, such as those commonly associated with typical cementation reactions. For 365-day-old DM-SSF blends containing between approximately (100% SSF) and (100% DM) total arsenic, the 95% upper confidence limit on the average. As concentration from the combined toxicity characteristic leaching procedure/synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (TCLP/SPLP) leaching results was less than the SPLP detection limit (), suggesting that the environmental risk associated with beneficially using the DM-SSF blends may be negligible.

AB - Management of natural resources and infrastructure systems for sustainability is complicated by uncertainties in the human and natural environment. Moreover, decisions are further complicated by contradictory views, values, and concerns that are rarely made explicit. Scenario analysis can play a major role in addressing the challenges of sustainability management, especially the core question of how to scan the future in a structured, integrated, participatory, and policy-relevant manner. In a context of systems engineering, scenario analysis can provide an integrated and timely understanding of emergent conditions and help to avoid regret and belated action. The purpose of this paper is to present several case studies in natural resources and infrastructure systems management where scenario analysis has been used to aide decision making under uncertainty. The case studies include several resource and infrastructure systems: (1) water resources (2) land-use corridors (3) energy infrastructure, and (4) coastal climate change adaptation. The case studies emphasize a participatory approach, where scenario analysis becomes a means of incorporating diverse stakeholder concerns and experience. This approach to scenario analysis provides insight into both high-performing and robust initiatives/policies, and, perhaps more importantly, influential scenarios. Identifying the scenarios that are most influential to policy making helps to direct further investigative analysis, modeling, and data-collection efforts to support the learning process that is emphasized in adaptive management.

AB - The U.S. Army is seeking to produce safer, less sensitive munitions through the addition of two new energetics, 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and -methyl paranitro aniline (MNA), to the munitions' formula. Production of these munitions would add them to the waste stream. The use of an anaerobic fluidized-bed bioreactor (AFBB) was studied for treating these compounds in a simulated wastewater with ethanol as the electron donor. The reactor degraded both of the compounds to below detection limits over a wide range of ethanol concentrations. The degradation was found to be a transformation into secondary products for both energetics: diaminoanisole (for DNAN) and -methyl--phenylenediamine (for MNA). Both of these by-products reacted upon exposure to air, forming azobond dimers. Potassium perchlorate was added to the feed stream to test if additional energetics would disrupt the transformation. The AFBB continued transformation and was able to remove the perchlorate after a two week acclimation period. The AFBB was an effective treatment method for DNAN and MNA, but further study is required to investigate the transformation products more thoroughly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Various international and national regulations hold polluters liable for the cleanup of released hazardous substances and the restoration/rehabilitation of natural resources to preincident baseline conditions, a process often referred to as natural resource damage assessment and restoration (NRDAR). Here, we, the authors, describe how global climate change (GCC) will challenge each of the steps of NRDAR processes and offer eight recommendations to improve these processes in light of GCC. First, we call for a better understanding of the net effects of GCC and contaminants on natural resources. Second, we urge facilities and environmental managers to plan for GCC-related factors that are expected to increase the probability of contaminant releases. Third, we suggest re-evaluating definitions of baseline and reference conditions given that GCC will alter both their trajectories and variability. Fourth, we encourage long-term monitoring to improve the quantification of baseline conditions that will change as climate changes. This will enhance the accuracy of injury assessments, the effectiveness of restoration, and the detection of early warning signs that ecosystems are approaching tipping points. Fifth, in response to or anticipation of GCC, restoration projects may need to be conducted in areas distant from the site of injury or focused on functionally equivalent natural resources; thus, community involvement in NRDAR processes will be increasingly important. Sixth, we promote using NRDAR restoration projects as opportunities to mitigate GCC-related impacts. Seventh, we recommend adaptive management approaches to NRDAR processes and communication of successes and failures widely. Finally, we recommend focusing on managing the stressors that might be exacerbated by GCC, such as pollution and habitat loss, because there is a long history of successfully mitigating these stressors, which can be more easily managed on local scales than climate change. We believe that adoption of these recommendations will lead to a more efficacious NRDAR process, despite the challenges posed by climate change. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - Abstract: Integrated environmental modeling (IEM) is inspired by modern environmental problems, decisions, and policies and enabled by transdisciplinary science and computer capabilities that allow the environment to be considered in a holistic way. The problems are characterized by the extent of the environmental system involved, dynamic and interdependent nature of stressors and their impacts, diversity of stakeholders, and integration of social, economic, and environmental considerations. IEM provides a science-based structure to develop and organize relevant knowledge and information and apply it to explain, explore, and predict the behavior of environmental systems in response to human and natural sources of stress. During the past several years a number of workshops were held that brought IEM practitioners together to share experiences and discuss future needs and directions. In this paper we organize and present the results of these discussions. IEM is presented as a landscape containing four interdependent elements: applications, science, technology, and community. The elements are described from the perspective of their role in the landscape, current practices, and challenges that must be addressed. Workshop participants envision a global scale IEM community that leverages modern technologies to streamline the movement of science-based knowledge from its sources in research, through its organization into databases and models, to its integration and application for problem solving purposes. Achieving this vision will require that the global community of IEM stakeholders transcend social, and organizational boundaries and pursue greater levels of collaboration. Among the highest priorities for community action are the development of standards for publishing IEM data and models in forms suitable for automated discovery, access, and integration; education of the next generation of environmental stakeholders, with a focus on transdisciplinary research, development, and decision making; and providing a web-based platform for community interactions (e.g., continuous virtual workshops).

AB - Hydrodynamic and water quality codes have been frequently linked. These have typically been linked with both the hydrodynamic and water quality models using similar explicit time steps, but for long-term simulations implicit models are required. The water quality codes linked to these hydrodynamic codes are forced to perform their computations using the hydrodynamic time step even though utilizing the same might result in drifting of the water quality solution. This technical note presents the development and testing of an operator splitting-derived method for linking hydrodynamic and water quality codes with adaptive time stepping. The resulting method provides high-fidelity solutions that compare well with analytic solutions and lends itself for extension to various other transported quantities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Rapid advances are being made in the creation and use of nanomaterials, but little is known about the impact these materials might have on key microbial functions if introduced into the environment. Previous studies have generated conflicting results with respect to the impact of fullerenes on microbial activity. In the present study, Salmonella typhimurium TA100 was selected as a model microbial system with which to investigate further the impact of C60 aggregates on microbial growth, mutagenicity, and global transcript expression. Aggregates of C60 predominantly less than 100 nm significantly impacted Salmonella growth at concentrations of ≥0.5 mg/L. In addition, C60 aggregates also displayed mutagenic potential at concentrations ≥0.1 mg/L. Transcript expression analysis of S. typhimurium TA100 exposed to C60 for 24 h indicated that 271 transcripts had significant differential expression relative to controls with twofold or more change. Of particular interest was the increased expression of transcripts coding for proteins involved in energy metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, transcription, and DNA metabolism, and the decreased expression of transcripts coding for proteins involved in protein fate, transport, and binding and bacterial secretion systems. Collectively, these data indicate that C60 interacts with the outer membrane of S. typhimurium TA100, resulting in delayed growth and mutagenicity, most likely by interfering with key transport functions and inducing a stress response, respectively.

AB - Explosive compounds, including known toxicants 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), are loaded to soils during military training. Their fate in soils is ultimately controlled by soil mineralogical and biogeochemical processes. We detonated pure mineral phases with Composition B, a mixture of TNT and RDX, and investigated the fate of detonation residues in aqueous slurries constructed from the detonated minerals. The pure minerals included Ottawa sand (quartz and calcite), microcline feldspar, phlogopite mica, muscovite mica, vermiculite clay, beidellite (a representative of the smectite clay group), and nontronite clay. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and gas adsorption surface area measurements were made of the pristine and detonated minerals. Batch slurries of detonated minerals and deionized water were sampled for 141 days and TNT, RDX, and TNT transformation products were measured from the aqueous samples and from the mineral substrates at day 141. Detonated samples generally exhibited lower gas adsorption surface areas than pristine ones, likely from residue coating, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion. TNT and RDX exhibited analyte loss in almost all batch solutions over time but loss was greater in vermiculite, beidellite, and phlogopite than in muscovite and quartz. This suggests common phyllosilicate mineral substrates could be used on military training ranges to minimize off-site migration of explosive residues. We present a conceptual model to represent the physical and chemical processes that occurred in our aqueous batches over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Construction of six large dams and reservoirs on the Missouri River over the last 50-75 years has resulted in major landscape changes and alterations in flow patterns, with implications for riparian forests dominated by plains cottonwood ( Populus deltoides). We quantified changes in land cover from 1892-1950s and the 1950s-2006 and the current extent and age structure of cottonwood forests on seven segments (two reservoir and five remnant floodplain) comprising 1127 km (53 %) of the unchannelized upper two-thirds of the Missouri River. Riparian forest area declined by 49 %; grassland 61 %; shrubland 52 %; and sandbar habitat 96 %; while agricultural cropland increased six-fold and river/reservoir surface area doubled from 1892 to 2006. Net rates of erosion and accretion declined between the 1892-1950s and 1950s-2006 periods. Accretion exceeded erosion on remnant floodplain segments, resulting in declines in active channel width, particularly in 1950s-2006. Across all study segments in 2006, most cottonwood stands (67 %) were >50 years old, 22 % were 25-50 years old, and only 10 % were <25 years old. Among stands <50 years old, the higher proportion of 25-50 year old stands represents recruitment that accompanied initial post-dam channel narrowing; while declines in sandbar and shrubland area and the low proportion of stands <25 years old suggest declines in geomorphic dynamism and limited recruitment under recent river management. Future conservation and restoration efforts should focus both on limiting further loss of remnant cottonwood stands and developing approaches to restore river dynamics and cottonwood recruitment processes.

AB - Factors used in environmental remedial decision making concerning ecological risk are not well understood or necessarily consistent. Recent Records of Decision (RODs) for Army CERCLA sites were reviewed to select case studies where remedial management occurred in response to ecological risks. Thirty-four Army RODs were evaluated representing decisions promulgated between 1996 and 2004. Five were selected based on assessments that remedial actions were clearly linked to concern for ecological receptors. The Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) approach and the subsequent risk management process were reviewed for each site. The case studies demonstrated that the ERA findings, as well as critical management decisions regarding interpretation of identified ecological risks, were determinants of remedial action objectives. Decisions regarding the selection of remedial alternatives were based on a set of criteria prescribed by Superfund requirements and guidance. Remedial alternative evaluations require protection of human health and the environment, but protective conditions were determined using different methods at each site. Examining the remedial management process for the 5 case study sites revealed that uncertainty in the risk assessment and decisions regarding appropriate spatial scales for both risk assessment and remediation were important factors influencing remedial action decisions. The case reviews also revealed that levels of documentation were variable from site to site. In the future, more detailed documentation of decision criteria and the development of criteria that consider the resilience of the site will result in more technically defensible ecological risk management.

AB - Contaminated sediments are a pervasive problem in the United States. Significant economic, ecological, and social issues are intertwined in addressing the nation's contaminated sediment problem. Managing contaminated sediments has become increasingly resource intensive, with some investigations costing tens of millions of dollars and the majority of remediation projects proceeding at a slow pace. At present, the approaches typically used to investigate, evaluate, and remediate contaminated sediment sites in the United States have largely fallen short of producing timely, risk-based, cost-effective, long-term solutions. With the purpose of identifying opportunities for accelerating progress at contaminated sediment sites, the US Army Corps of Engineers-Engineer Research and Development Center and the Sediment Management Work Group convened a workshop with experienced experts from government, industry, consulting, and academia. Workshop participants identified 5 actions that, if implemented, would accelerate the progress and increase the effectiveness of risk management at contaminated sediment sites. These actions included: 1) development of a detailed and explicit project vision and accompanying objectives, achievable short-term and long-term goals, and metrics of remedy success at the outset of a project, with refinement occurring as needed throughout the duration of the project; 2) strategic engagement of stakeholders in a more direct and meaningful process; 3) optimization of risk reduction, risk management processes, and remedy selection addressing 2 important elements: a) the deliberate use of early action remedies, where appropriate, to accelerate risk reduction; and b) the systematic and sequential development of a suite of actions applicable to the ultimate remedy, starting with monitored natural recovery and adding engineering actions as needed to satisfy the project's objectives; 4) an incentive process that encourages and rewards risk reduction; and 5) pursuit of sediment remediation projects as a public-private collaborative enterprise. These 5 actions provide a clear path for connecting current US regulatory guidance to improved practices that produce better applications of science and risk management and more effective and efficient solutions at contaminated sediment sites.

AB - The article discusses the internment of U.S. airmen in neutral states during World War II. According to the author, many neutral states secretly released U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) personnel who sought asylum after their aircraft were damaged, despite being obligated by treaty to intern them for the duration of the conflict. It is suggested that Switzerland's permanent status of neutrality resulted in its consisted internment of U.S. airmen, while other states were influenced to release internees by political pressure and by the costs associated with interning belligerents. Details on USAAF personnel interned in Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and the Soviet Union are presented.

AB - Evidence of an actual or perceived gap in ideological beliefs between civilian and military communities informs current debates on the military and its relationship to broader society. The authors examine one cohort of the military and its members’ perception of their own ideology in relation to their civilian counterparts using a 2009 survey of cadets at the United States Military Academy. The authors ascertain cadet perceptions of (1) cadet ideological leanings on individual and aggregate levels, (2) the ideological leanings of the civilian population, and (3) the civilian population’s assessment of the military’s ideological leanings. The authors attempt to discern whether or not this military subpopulation perceives itself as different from the rest of society. The authors find that while members of the Army’s future officer corps perceive themselves as more conservative than their civilian peers and society writ large, as a group they hold rather moderate political views.

AB - After the decision to re-arm Germany in the early 1950s, the military leadership in the Federal Republic of Germany or “Bundeswehr” once again set out to create an army capable of not only defending the Federal Republic of Germany but of being able to integrate itself within the framework of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) forward defense of Western Europe. This article examines the Bundeswehr's re-armament and its operational and tactical organization as well as the weapons systems, most notably the development of a whole new generation of main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles or personnel carriers that were far superior to either their Soviet or American counterparts. The article likewise examines the incorporation of tactics and operational doctrine employed by the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front (1941–1945) during World War II. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - The article presents a case study of the enactment of children's rights in municipal defensorías, or government offices, charged with providing assistance for impoverished children in Peru. According to the author, these defensorías depend on a technocratic interpretation of children's rights discourses which conflates women and children and does not address the needs of women who are not mothers or who require other forms of assistance.

AB - Computers have been available to teach and do mathematics for decades. There have been spikes of interest, energy, and results in their use over the years. However, there is little sustained use of computers as they could be used to permit students to learn and do mathematics. To be effective computers need to be embedded in the learning process. They need to be ubiquitous and part of every student's learning kit. Indeed, they should be a first tool of choice for most of what students do with mathematics; that is, plotting, algebraic manipulation, optimization, playing “what if” games, data analysis, etc. I outline a number of scenarios and experiences to show just how pervasive computer use can and should be. I put computer use in context with its most important applications for teaching mathematics—namely, modeling and inquiry or problem-based learning. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Statistical evidence for various models relating day-night sound level (DNL) to community noise annoyance is assessed with the Akaike information criterion. In particular, community-specific adjustments such as the community tolerance level (CTL, the DNL at which 50% of survey respondents are highly annoyed) and community tolerance spread (CTS, the difference between the DNL at which 90% and 10% are highly annoyed) are considered. The results strongly support models characterizing annoyance on a community-by-community basis, rather than with complete pooling and analysis of all available surveys. The most likely model was found to be a 2-parameter logistic model, with CTL and CTS fit independently to survey data from each community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Extraction of Doppler signatures that characterize human motion has attracted a growing interest in recent years. These Doppler signatures are generated by various components of the human body while walking, and contain unique features that can be used for human detection and recognition. Although, a significant amount of research has been done in radio frequency regime for human Doppler signature extraction, considerably less has been done in acoustics. In this work, 40 kHz ultrasonic sonar is employed to measure the Doppler signature generated by the motion of body segments using different electronic and signal processing schemes. These schemes are based on both analog and digital demodulation with homodyne and heterodyne receiver circuitry. The results and analyses from these different schemes are presented.

AB - A common set of signal features measurable by a basic sound level meter are analyzed, and the quality of information carried in subsets of these features are examined for their ability to discriminate military blast and non-blast sounds. The analysis is based on over 120 000 human classified signals compiled from seven different datasets. The study implements linear and Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) support vector machines (SVM) to classify blast sounds. Using the orthogonal centroid dimension reduction technique, intuition is developed about the distribution of blast and non-blast feature vectors in high dimensional space. Recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) is then used to eliminate features containing redundant information and rank features according to their ability to separate blasts from non-blasts. Finally, the accuracy of the linear and RBF SVM classifiers is listed for each of the experiments in the dataset, and the weights are given for the linear SVM classifier. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Variability in received sound levels were investigated at distances ranging from 4 m to 16 km from a typical blast source in two locations with different climates and terrain. Four experiments were conducted, two in a temperate climate with a hilly terrain and two in a desert climate with a flat terrain, under a variety of meteorological conditions. Sound levels were recorded in three different directions around the source during the summer and winter seasons in each location. Testing occurred over the course of several days for each experiment during all 24 h of the day, and meteorological data were gathered throughout each experiment. The peak levels (LPk), C-weighted sound exposure levels (CSEL), and spectral characteristics of the received sound pressure levels were analyzed. The results show high variability in LPk and CSEL at distances beyond 2 km from the source for each experiment, which was not clearly explained by the time of day the blasts occurred. Also, as expected, higher frequency energy is attenuated more drastically than the lower frequency energy as the distance from the source increases. These data serve as a reference for long-distance blast sound propagation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - After 9/11 the United States has a significant disconnect between its strategic and tactical efforts against violent global jihadists. Some American leaders and commanders are confusing effectiveness and success, improperly associating tactical disruption of enemy elements with strategic effect. While the country has won some important tactical victories, it is not clear that they are amounting to a strategic impact, or that the gains will last. The situation is complex, with various dynamics influencing America's prosecution of the Long War and its ability to be successful in the long term. This article looks at what those factors are and provides policy makers with tangible recommendations that, if implemented, will place America's counterterrorism efforts on a more strategic trajectory and hold greater promise of lasting impact.

AB - Scholars of corporate social responsibility (CSR), which refers to the responsibilities of a firm to society in four domains: economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary, have typically excluded defense firms from their research, mainly on ideological grounds. This study challenges these assumptions and measures the CSR orientations of managers of defense firms. The findings reveal the orientations of defense firm managers to be consistent with those of other corporate populations, though the highly regulated environment of defense contracting causes some differences. The findings help to redeem the social standing of defense firms, and by implication, their employees and the military members who use their products, from unwarranted antimilitary biases.

AB - This paper examines an aspect of United States armed forces that has been under-studied in the discipline of political science over the past three decades: the National Guard. The Guard's roles, responsibilities, and relationships with the states and the federal government have changed significantly since the end of the Vietnam War, from "weekend warriors" to an integral component of the national security enterprise. The paper begins by defining the Guard and its constitutional role in American national security, and then evaluates the state of the political science literature on the National Guard. It illustrates changes to the Guard using three recent cases: the War on Drugs, the War on Terror, and Hurricane Katrina. Finally, it explores potential implications of these cases and other recent events on the future role of the National Guard in American politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Over the past three decades, evolving threats to U.S. national security have necessitated changes in the missions, structure, and organization of reserve forces. These changes, while intended to redefine the purposes and functions of the U.S. reserve force, at times had unanticipated effects on the individual reservist’s experience of and identity with reserve military service. Emergent identities include the obliged-conscripted citizen soldier, weekend warrior, instrumental volunteer, identity seeker, soldier warrior, and conservative ideologue. The author elaborates on these identities and their association with geopolitical events and corresponding responses in the U.S. national defense strategy and concludes by discussing the implications of more recent identities for adequately staffing and readying the U.S. reserve force.

AB - The article focuses on the hybridization of war, a recent trend in warfare being addressed by countries in their military doctrines. The term is used to describe modern conflicts, which are neither purely asymmetric nor purely conventional, but hybrids that display traits from both forms of warfare. The failure of international law, particularly the Law of Armed Conflict, to evolve with the hybridization of war is discussed. It notes that the law has proven incapable of satisfactorily resolving the myriad of legal issues arising from modern warfare.

N2 - Background Collider bias, or stratifying data by a covariate consequence rather than cause (confounder) of treatment and outcome, plagues randomised and observational trauma research. Of the seven trials of prehospital hypertonic saline in dextran (HSD) that have been evaluated in systematic reviews, none found an overall between-group difference in survival, but four reported significant subgroup effects. We hypothesised that an avoidable type of collider bias often introduced inadvertently into trauma comparative effectiveness research could explain the incongruous findings. Methods The two most recent HSD trials, a single-site pilot and a multi-site pivotal study, provided data for a secondary analysis to more closely examine the potential for collider bias. The two trials had followed the a priori statistical analysis plan to subgroup patients by a post-randomisation covariate and well-established surrogate for bleeding severity, massive transfusion (MT), ≥10 unit of red blood cells within 24 h of admission. Despite favourable HSD effects in the MT subgroup, opposite effects in the non-transfused subgroup halted the pivotal trial early. In addition to analyzing the data from the two trials, we constructed causal diagrams and performed a meta-analysis of the results from all seven trials to assess the extent to which collider bias could explain null overall effects with subgroup heterogeneity. Results As in previous trials, HSD induced significantly greater increases in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from prehospital to admission than control crystalloid ( p = 0.003). Proportionately more HSD than control decedents accrued in the non-transfused subgroup, but with paradoxically longer survival. Despite different study populations and a span of over 20 years across the seven trials, the reported mortality effects were consistently null, summary RR = 0.99 ( p = 0.864, homogeneity p = 0.709). Conclusions HSD delayed blood transfusion by modifying standard triggers like SBP with no detectable effect on survival. The reported heterogeneous HSD effects in subgroups can be explained by collider bias that trauma researchers can avoid by improved covariate selection and data capture strategies.

N2 - Individuals diagnosed with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) exhibit elevated postprandial lipemia (PPL). The aims of this investigation were to determine 1) if an acute bout of sprint interval training (SIT) attenuates PPL; and 2) if the attenuation of PPL following 6 wk of SIT is magnified compared with a single session of SIT prior to training in women at-risk for MetS (n = 45; 30-65 yr). Women were randomized to SIT (n = 22) or a nonexercise control (n = 23; CON) for 6 wk. Postprandial responses to a high-fat meal challenge (HFMC) were assessed in the CON group before (B-HFMC) and after (Post-HFMC) without prior exercise and in the SIT group at baseline (B-HFMC) without prior exercise, after an acute bout of SIT (four 30-s all-out sprints with 4-min recovery) prior to (Pre-HFMC), and after the 6-wk intervention (Post-HFMC). Responses to the HFMC were assessed by collecting venous blood samples in the fasted state and at 0, 30, 60, 120, and 180 min postprandial. Compared with baseline, an acute bout of SIT before (Pre-HFMC) and after the 6-wk intervention (Post-HFMC) significantly attenuated fasted TG (P < 0.05; 16.6% and 12.3%, respectively) and postprandial area under the curve (13.1% and 9.7%, respectively; tAUC) TG responses. There was no difference in fasted or tAUC TG responses between Pre-HFMC and Post-HFMC. SIT is an effective mode of exercise to reduce fasted and postprandial TG concentrations in women at-risk for MetS. Six weeks of SIT does not magnify the attenuation of PPL in response to a single session of SIT. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

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

AB - An algorithm was developed and tested to blindly focus the acoustic spectra of a rotorcraft that was blurred by time-varying Doppler shifts and other effects such atmospheric distortion. First, the fundamental frequency generated by the main rotor blades of a rotorcraft was tracked using a fixed-lag smoother. Then, the frequency estimates were used to resample the data using interpolation. Next, the motion-compensated data were further focused using a technique based upon the phase gradient autofocus (PGA) algorithm. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated by analyzing the increase in the amplitude of the harmonics due to focusing the data. For most of the data, the algorithm focused the harmonics between approximately 10-90 Hz to within 1-2 dB of an estimated upper bound (UB) obtained from conservation of energy and estimates of the Doppler shift. In addition, the algorithm was able to separate two closely spaced frequencies in the spectra of the rotorcraft. The algorithm developed can be used to preprocess data for classification, nulling, and tracking algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Many studies of terrorism explain the use of violence against civilians with political or economic forces, often relegating social variables to the margins. Social factors, specifically societal-level social capital, play a far more important role in explaining patterns of terrorist activity than previously recognized. Social capital can exert pressures that act as both restraint and catalyst for terrorism, making explicit exposition of these differential effects critical. Analysis shows that higher stocks of social capital positively correlate with the number of terrorist groups, but the average attack activity of those groups increase as measures of social capital decline. The complex relationship makes it difficult to draw simple policy implications, but it does offer insight into the role that social dynamics play in terrorist activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The electromagnetic scattering responses of nonlinearly loaded antenna structures excited by single-tone or multi-tone incident fields are considered in the frequency domain by employing a combination of the method-of-moments and a harmonic balance technique. Subsequently, standoff detection and localization of the scatterers in the presence of a half space is demonstrated with a subspace imaging procedure by exploiting the steady-state, multistatic harmonic scattering responses collected over an aspect-limited aperture. The attenuation rates of the harmonic scattered fields as a function of sensing range are investigated. The Green's function vector in the imaging functional is derived efficiently with the application of second-order-accurate asymptotic propagation techniques, and near-field imaging performance for single and multiple targets is also examined in the presence of noise and linear clutter. This study is intended to provide an analysis and simulation framework needed to facilitate the development of a complementary nonlinear detection capability for an existing near-ground, forward-looking linear imaging radar system.

AB - The proliferation of smart phones with sensing capabilities motivates exploring the applicability limits of (phone-based) mobile sensing. While a phone can directly measure variables such as location, acceleration, and orientation, other interesting quantities one may want to measure have higher-level semantics that a phone does not directly recognize. For example, one might want to map parking lots that are free after hours, or restaurants that are popular after midnight. How can we measure such higher-level logical quantities using sensors on phones? Techniques that address this question fall in the broad area of surrogate sensing, defined as inferring high-level logical quantities by measuring weaker surrogates. The surrogates in question are variables that can be sensed using a phone, but are only weakly related to the original high-level logical quantities one is really after. The key challenge is to exploit appropriate aggregation techniques that leverage the availability of large numbers of phones to overcome the poor quality of individual surrogates. Recently, significant advances have been made in understanding the quality limits of surrogate sensing. This article overviews the main ideas and insights underlying these advances.

AB - We demonstrate in detail a semisupervised scheme to classify unexploded ordnance (UXO) by using as an example the data collected with a time-domain electromagnetic towed array detection system during a live-site blind test conducted at the former Camp Butner in North Carolina, USA. The model that we use to characterize targets and generate discrimination features relies on a solution of the inverse UXO problem using the orthonormalized volume magnetic source model. Unlike other classification techniques, which often rely on library matching or expert knowledge, our combined clustering/Gaussian-mixture-model approach first uses the inherent properties of the data in feature space to build a custom training list that is then used to score all unknown targets by assigning them a likelihood of being UXO. The ground truth for the most likely candidates is then requested and used to correct the model parameters and reassign the scores. The process is repeated several times until the desired statistical margin is reached, at which point a final dig is produced. Our method could decrease intervention by human experts and, as the results of the blind test show, identify all targets of interest correctly while minimizing false-alarm counts.

AB - We introduce a fast and accurate numerical technique for the solution of electromagnetic induction sensing problems called the orthonormalized volume magnetic source model. The model assumes that the secondary magnetic field measured by a sensor originates from a set of magnetic dipole sources distributed over a volume that coincides with the interrogated area. The Green functions associated with the responding sources are turned into an orthonormal basis using a generalization of the Gram-Schmidt method, enabling one to determine the sources' strengths directly from measured data without having to invert large and potentially ill-conditioned matrices. The method treats multitarget cases naturally and robustly. Several examples are presented to illustrate the applicability of the method in the discrimination of unexploded ordnance (UXO). In particular, we analyze data taken by the Time-Domain Electromagnetic Multisensor Towed Array Detection System sensor array at a test stand and during a blind test administered at a UXO live site. The method is highly successful in distinguishing UXO from among other UXO and from accompanying clutter. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - In this paper, a novel discriminative dictionary learning method is proposed for sparse-representation-based classification (SRC) to label highly dimensional hyperspectral imagery (HSI). In SRC, a dictionary is conventionally constructed using all of the training pixels, which is not only inefficient due to the large size of typical HSI images but also ineffective in capturing class-discriminative information crucial for classification. We address the dictionary design problem with the inspiration from the learning vector quantization technique and propose a hinge loss function that is directly related to the classification task as the objective function for dictionary learning. The resulting online learning procedure systematically “pulls” and “pushes” dictionary atoms so that they become better adapted to distinguish between different classes. In addition, the spatial context for a test pixel within its local neighborhood is modeled using a Bayesian graph model and is incorporated with the sparse representation of a single test pixel in a unified probabilistic framework, which enables further refinement of our dictionary to capture the spatial class dependence that complements the spectral information. Experiments on different HSI images demonstrate that the dictionaries optimized using our method can achieve higher classification accuracy with substantially reduced dictionary size than using the whole training set. The proposed method also outperforms existing dictionary learning methods and attains the state-of-the-art results in both the spectral-only and spatial-spectral settings. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Sparsity-based unmixing algorithms, exploiting the sparseness property of the abundances, have recently been proposed with promising performances. However, these algorithms are developed for the linear mixture model (LMM), which cannot effectively handle the nonlinear effects. In this paper, we extend the current sparse regression methods for the LMM to bilinear mixture models (BMMs), where the BMMs introduce additional bilinear terms in the LMM in order to model second-order photon scattering effects. To solve the abundance estimation problem for the BMMs, we propose to perform a sparsity-based abundance estimation by using two dictionaries: a linear dictionary containing all the pure endmembers and a bilinear dictionary consisting of all the possible second-order endmember interaction components. Then, the abundance values can be estimated from the sparse codes associated with the linear dictionary. Moreover, to exploit the spatial data structure where the adjacent pixels are usually homogeneous and are often mixtures of the same materials, we first employ the joint-sparsity (row-sparsity) model to enforce structured sparsity on the abundance coefficients. However, the joint-sparsity model is often a strict assumption, which might cause some aliasing artifacts for the pixels that lie on the boundaries of different materials. To deal with this problem, the low-rank-representation model, which seeks the lowest rank representation of the data, is further introduced to better capture the spatial data structure. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms provide much enhanced performance compared with state-of-the-art algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Traditional hyperspectral imaging sensors acquire high-dimensional data that are used for the discrimination of objects and features in a scene. Recently, a novel architecture known as the coded-aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) system has been developed for the acquisition of compressive spectral image data with just a few coded focal plane array measurements. This paper focuses on developing a classification approach with hyperspectral images directly from CASSI compressive measurements, without first reconstructing the full data cube. The proposed classification method uses the compressive measurements to find the sparse vector representation of the test pixel in a given training dictionary. The estimated sparse vector is obtained by solving a sparsity-constrained optimization problem and is then used to directly determine the class of the unknown pixel. The performance of the proposed classifier is improved by taking optimal CASSI compressive measurements obtained when optimal coded apertures are used in the optical system. The set of optimal coded apertures is designed such that the CASSI sensing matrix satisfies a restricted isometry property with high probability. Several simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed classifier using optimal coded apertures and the gain in the classification accuracy obtained over using traditional aperture codes in CASSI.

AB - Effective management of contaminated sediments is important for long-term human and environmental health, but site-management decisions are often made under high uncertainty and without the help of structured decision support tools. Potential trade-offs between remedial costs, environmental effects, human health risks, and societal benefits, as well as fundamental differences in stakeholder priorities, complicate decision making. Formal decision-analytic tools such as multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) move beyond ad hoc decision support to quantitatively and holistically rank management alternatives and add transparency and replicability to the evaluation process. However, even the best decisions made under uncertainty may be found suboptimal in hindsight, once additional scientific, social, economic, or other details become known. Value of information (Vol) analysis extends MCDA by systematically evaluating the impact of uncertainty on a decision. Vol prioritizes future research in terms of expected decision relevance by helping decision makers estimate the likelihood that additional information will improve decision confidence or change their selection of a management plan. In this study, Vol analysis evaluates uncertainty, estimates decision confidence, and prioritizes research to inform selection of a sediment capping strategy for the dibenzo-p-dioxin and -furan contaminated Grenland fjord system in southern Norway. The Vol model extends stochastic MCDA to model decisions with and without simulated new information and compares decision confidence across scenarios with different degrees of remaining uncertainty. Results highlight opportunities for decision makers to benefit from additional information by anticipating the improved decision confidence (or lack thereof) expected from reducing uncertainties for each criterion or combination of criteria. This case study demonstrates the usefulness of Vol analysis for environmental decisions by predicting when decisions can be made confidently, for prioritizing areas of research to pursue to improve decision confidence, and for differentiating between decision-relevant and decision-irrelevant differences in evaluation perspectives, all of which help guide meaningful deliberation toward effective consensus solutions.

AB - During group marches, soldiers must walk in step with one another at the same imposed cadence. The literature suggests that shorter trainees may be more susceptible to injury due to overstriding that can occur when taller recruits dictate marching cadence. This study assessed the effects of fixed cadence simulated marching at cadences above and below preferred step rate (PSR) on lower extremity joint mechanics in individuals who were unaccustomed to marching. During three separate visits, 13 volunteers walked with a 20 kg load on a force-sensing treadmill at self-selected PSR, PSR+15% (shorter strides), and PSR-15% (longer strides) at 1.3 m/s for 60 min. Two-way RM ANOVAs (cadence by time) were performed during the stance phase. Ranges of motion and anteroposterior ground reaction force increased significantly as cadence decreased (P < .03). Knee extension moment increased slightly when step rate decreased from PSR+15% (shortest strides, 0.85 ñ 0.2 N m/kg) to PSR (0.87 ñ 0.3 N m/kg, 3% increase); however, this increase was substantially greater (20% increase) when cadence was decreased from PSR to PSR-15% (longest strides, 1.09 ñ 0.3 N m/kg). Our results indicate that overstriding during fixed-cadence marching is a factor that can substantially increase mechanical stress on lower extremity joints.

AB - Soldiers must perform a variety of physical tasks that the civilian population does not. The Modified Oswestry Disability Index (M-ODI) is the most widely used measure of function in patients with low back pain but does not include military tasks. The Military Low Back Pain Questionnaire (MBQ) was developed by military Physical Therapists to include tasks such as wearing body armor. The purpose of this study was to provide preliminary evidence for the reliability, responsiveness, and validity of the MBQ in nondeployed Soldiers. The MBQ had good reliability compared to the M-ODI. The inter-rater correlation coefficient for the M-ODI was 0.79 and 0.75 for the MBQ. Cronbach's alpha was 0.75 and 0.85 for the M-ODI and MBQ, respectively. The minimal detectable change for the M-ODI was 21.03 and 22.97 for the MBQ. Responsiveness was assessed using a global rating of change; area under the curve for the M-ODI was 0.82 and 0.90 for the MBQ. The correlation between the M-ODI and the MBQ was r = 0.80 indicating good concurrent validity. The MBQ was as reliable as the M-ODI in an Army population. There were trends in the psychometrics suggesting the MBQ may be more sensitive to change than the M-ODI in this population.

AB - Our goal was to present current data on the incidence of clavicle injuries presenting for urgent evaluation and to report the sports activities associated with injury. Using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database, the number of clavicle fractures presenting to a representative sample of US hospitals was retrospectively calculated and weighted estimates used to extrapolate this data to the US population. Incidence estimates were obtained using validated analyses and US census data, with sports injuries being noted and fractures stratified by sport. A total of 9 428 fractures of the clavicle were reported, representing 357 155 injuries in the US population over 5 years. The estimated incidence of clavicle fractures in the US presenting for emergency care is 24.4 fractures per 100 000 person-years (95 % confidence intervals (CI), 22.8-26.1). The peak incidence was highest between ages 10-19 years. Men were nearly 3 times as likely to sustain a clavicle fracture. Sports were a factor in 45 % of all clavicle fractures. In sports-related injuries, 16 % of fractures occurred from bicycling, followed by football (12 %) and soccer (6 %). In summary, injuries from bicycling were the most common cause of clavicle fracture, followed by contact sports. Male gender and younger age are risk factors for clavicle fractures.

AB - Background: Sleep disturbance is a common feature of depression. However, recent work has found that individuals who are vulnerable to depression report poorer sleep quality compared to their low-risk counterparts, suggesting that sleep disturbance may precede depression. In addition, both sleep disturbance and depression are related to deficits in cognitive control processes. Thus we examined if poor sleep quality predicts subsequent increases in depressive symptoms and if levels of cognitive control mediated this relation.Methods: Thirty-five undergraduate students participated in two experimental sessions separated by 3 weeks. Participants wore an actigraph watch between sessions, which provided an objective measure of sleep patterns. We assessed self-reported sleep quality and depressive symptoms at both sessions. Last, individuals completed an exogenous cuing task, which measured ability to disengage attention from neutral and negative stimuli during the second session.Results: Using path analyses, we found that both greater self-reported sleep difficulty and more objective sleep stability measures significantly predicted greater difficulty disengaging attention (i.e., less cognitive control) from negative stimuli. Less cognitive control over negative stimuli in turn predicted increased depression symptoms at the second session. Exploratory associations among the circadian locomotor output cycles kaput gene, CLOCK, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs11932595, as well as sleep assessments and depressive symptoms also are presented.Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that sleep disruptions may contribute to increases in depressive symptoms via their impact on cognitive control. Further, variation in the CLOCK gene may be associated with sleep quality.

AB - The dose-response relationship between biomechanical variables and the magnitude of external loads is unclear. The use of different load distributions (e.g., pack types) may confound results because of changes in torso center of mass. Therefore, we examined the relationship between load magnitude and sagittal plane lower extremity mechanics of Soldiers walking with two symmetrically distributed loads. Fourteen Soldiers marched on a force-sensing treadmill at 1.34 m/s for 10 minutes with no load (BW_00) and while wearing vest-borne loads of 15 kg (BW_15) and 55 kg (BW_55). The effects of the loads on sagittal plane joint angles and moments were compared using 1-way repeated measures analyses of variance. Compared with BW_00, knee extension moment increased with the 15- and the 55-kg loads (both p < 0.003), confirming previously reported load-related biomechanical responses. Knee moment increases during early stance appeared to be the primary means by which the lower extremity counteracted BW_15 during early stance; in contrast, hip extensors and ankle dorsiflexors appeared to be the primary muscular efforts responsible for propulsion during late stance. Findings elucidated the effects of load magnitude on lower extremity mechanics without postural changes that result from pack-related shifts in torso center of mass.

AB - The effectiveness of an active shutter-glasses stereoscopic display (SD) and a passive polarised SD was evaluated in a live robot-teleoperation task and a simulated indirect-vision driving task in various terrains. Overall, participants completed their tasks significantly faster with the SDs in three-dimensional (3D) mode than with the SDs in the baseline 2D mode. They also navigated more accurately with the SDs in 3D mode. When the effectiveness of the two types of SDs was examined separately, results showed that the active shutter-glasses SD resulted in faster responses and task completion times than the passive polarised SD, though most of the differences failed to reach statistical significance. Perceived workload when interacting with the two SD systems did not differ significantly between the active versus passive display types or between the 3D and 2D modes of operation; however, participants reported more severe discomfort after interacting with the passive polarised SD. Practitioner Summary: This study demonstrated the utility of SDs for enhancing operators' navigation-related performance. The results furthered the understanding of the differential effectiveness of an active stereoscopic system versus a passive system. The findings will facilitate the implementation of stereoscopic systems for robotics control and indirect-vision driving in military settings.

AB - 2,4-dintitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) is an explosive frequently found in the soil of military installations. Because reptiles can be common on these sites, ecological risk assessments for compounds such as 2,4-DNT could be improved with toxicity data specific to reptiles. Western fence lizards, Sceloporus occidentalis, were used to develop a laboratory toxicity model for reptiles. A hierarchical approach was used; acute to subchronic studies were conducted to provide toxicity data relevant to short- and longterm exposures. First, a modified median lethal dose (LD50) study was conducted on male and female lizards using a stage-wise probit model. The LD50 was 577 mg/kg for female and 380 mg/kg for male lizards. Subsequently, a subacute experiment was conducted to further assess 2,4-DNT toxicity to male lizards and to define exposure levels for a longer term, subchronic study. The subchronic study was conducted for 60 consecutive days; male lizards were exposed to 0, 9, 15, 25, 42, 70 mg/kg/d. Dosedependent mortality was observed in the three highest dose groups (25, 42, and 70 mg/kg/d); all other animals survived the study duration. Benchmark dose model calculations based on mortality indicated a 5% effect level of 15.8 mg/kg/d. At study termination, a gross necropsy was performed, organ weights were taken, and blood was collected for clinical and hematological analysis. Body weight, kidney weight, food consumption, postdose observations, and blood chemistries all were found to be significantly different from controls at doses above 9 mg/kg/d. Also, preliminary results suggest behavioral observations, and reduced food consumption may be a sensitive indicator of toxicity. The present study indicates Sceloporus occidentalis is suitable for evaluating toxicity of compounds to reptilian species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Aims: Generally it is more economical to first characterize a concentrator system with nonbiological particles followed by more rigorous bioaerosol testing. This study compares sampling system performance for varions particle types and sizes. Methods and Results: Performances of five concentrators were characterized with five nonviable and viable laboratory aerosols, although not every concentrator was tested with all aerosol types. For particle sizes less than c. 6 μm aerodynamic diameter, similar efficiencies are obtained for all test particles; however, for larger sizes there is a significant difference between liquid and dry particles. Conclusions: Aluminium oxide particles provide results over a broad range of sizes with a single test, but the method is less reproducible than other methods. A combination of monodisperse polystyrene spheres and oleic acid droplets provides an accurate representation of the system performance, but ultimately biological particle tests are needed. Significance and Impact of the Study: Devices are being developed for concentrating bioaerosol particles in the size range of 1–10 μm aerodynamic diameter and this study provides insight into data quality for different test methodologies. Also, the results show some current concentrators perform quite poorly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The intestinal anaerobic symbiont, Bacteroides fragilis, is highly aerotolerant and resistant to H2O2. Analysis of the transcriptome showed that expression of 45% of the genome was significantly affected by oxidative stress. The gene expression patterns suggested that exposure to oxidative stress induced an acute response to rapidly minimize the immediate effects of reactive oxygen species, then upon extended exposure a broad metabolic response was induced. This metabolic response induced genes encoding enzymes that can supply reducing power for detoxification and restore energy-generating capacity. An integral aspect of the metabolic response was downregulation of genes related to translation and biosynthesis which correlated with decreased growth and entry into a stationary phase-like growth state. Examination of oxyR mutants showed that they were impaired for the acute response and they induced the expanded metabolic response with only minimal exposure to stress. The oxyR mutants were more sensitive to oxidants in vitro and in vivo they were attenuated in an intra-abdominal abscess infection model. Aerotolerance and resistance to oxidative stress are physiological adaptations of B. fragilis to its environment that enhance survival in extra-intestinal sites and promote opportunistic infections.

AB - The article discusses common methodological challenges in efforts to estimate accurately the prevalence of military mental health conditions. It explores the use of mental health assessment and screening instruments not validated in military population that weakens inferences regarding the true prevalence of psychiatric conditions and their association with other demographic, military, social and medical factors.

AB - This study benchmarked rates of mental health problems, adjustment difficulties, and perceptions of unit climate among 505 U.S. soldiers (primarily National Guard) deployed to the Horn of Africa in 2012. In addition, the study examined whether differences across these outcomes exist between combat veterans (n = 239) and noncombat veterans (n = 242). Rates of mental health problems among soldiers on this noncombat deployment were lower than rates typically found among soldiers on combat deployments. Furthermore, soldiers without previous combat experience had lower rates of mental health problems and aggression than combat veterans. Similar differences were evident when adjustment difficulties and unit climate variables were compared. Although combat veterans could be valuable in training new soldiers, the results of this study indicate that combat veterans may need more targeted resources to facilitate their adjustment if they are to be optimally utilized.

AB - Measurement of functional impairment is a priority for the military and other professional work groups routinely exposed to stressful traumatic events as part of their occupation. Standard measures of impairment used in general or chronically ill populations contain many items not suitable for these populations, and include mental health symptoms items that are not true measures of functioning. We created a new, 14-item scale—the Walter Reed Functional Impairment Scale—to assess functioning in 4 domains (physical, occupational, social, and personal). We asked 3,380 soldiers how much difficulty they currently have in each of the 4 domains on a 5-point scale. Behaviorally based psychosocial and occupational performance measures and general health questions were used to validate the scale. The utility of the scale was assessed against clinical measures of psychopathology and physical health (depression, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], general health, generalized physical symptoms). We utilized Cronbach’s alpha, item response theory, and the score test for trend to establish consistency of items and the validity of the scale. The scale exhibited excellent reliability (Cronbach’s α= 0.92) and validity. The individual items and quartiles of sum scores were strongly correlated with negative occupational and social performance, and the utility of the scale was demonstrated by strong correlations with depression, PTSD, and high levels of generalized physical symptoms. This scale exhibits excellent psychometric properties in this sample of U.S. soldiers and, pending future research, is likely to have utility for other healthy occupational groups.

AB - The purpose of this article was to determine proximal and distal antecedents of leadership in the U.S. Army’s Officer Candidate School (OCS). A model composed of motivation to lead, leadership self-efficacy, implicit leadership, organizational commitment, general cognitive ability, and personality was proposed. Results from a longitudinal examination of 1,232 officer candidates suggest partial support for the model, and limited evidence for enlisted experience as a moderator. Candidate personality (partially mediated by interest in leadership and leadership self-efficacy) best predicted leadership performance during OCS and peer ratings of leadership potential. Implications for OCS selection and models of leadership performance are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved). (journal abstract)

AB - The U.S. Army faces complex challenges in building and sustaining its officer force. It needs to identify and develop individuals who can adapt to many different mission types and to the various environments in which the Army operates, develop the strategic and tactical leadership skills necessary to perform effectively in higher ranks, and embrace the Army’s warrior ethos. To create a performance-based foundation for accessing, assigning, training, and retaining officers, we conducted a job analysis study. Using Army doctrine, protocol, training manuals, and input from a number of Army officers, we identified 46 leader and management major duties that officers must perform with a high level of competence. The list is intended to be relevant for all Army officer positions and levels up to lieutenant colonel, though the relative importance of and time spent on specific duties varies by level, position, branch, and mission. We also identified 55 stable individual difference attributes and attitudes that underlie the determinants of officer performance and retention. We framed our study according to 2 models of job performance, 1 specifying the determinants of job performance and the other specifying the major components of job performance. The integrated models provide a theoretical basis for designing personnel systems or interventions to impact specific components of officer performance and for predicting their likely outcomes.

AB - The U.S. Military Academy has historically used an academically weighted composite of aptitude, leadership, and physical ability indices for selection of candidates and to predict their performance at the Academy. Researchers at West Point have begun to investigate the incremental contribution of a variety of less traditional nonaptitude or noncognitive factors in predicting performance. Particular focus has centered on hardiness and grit because they have been shown to predict persistence through Cadet Basic Training (CBT) and achievement in the first year at the Academy. In the current investigation, we further examined the predictive validity of grit and hardiness, and their subfacets, on retention and performance through the full 4-year West Point program with data from 1,558 cadets, comprising the West Point classes of 2009 and 2010. Results of regression analyses indicate that whereas grit interest and hardiness commitment were the sole predictors of attrition from CBT, only grit effort predicted persistence across the remaining 4 year period. College Entrance Exam Rank (CEER), a traditional measure of academic success, did not predict persistence. In terms of performance, grit interest, and hardiness control added to CEER in the prediction of 4-year academic performance. Although CEER continued to be the best predictor of military performance, grit effort and hardiness commitment were also important contributors. Finally, grit effort also added to the Athletic Activities Score and CEER in predicting physical performance. These results indicate that the noncognitive factors grit and hardiness are important predictors of success in military officer candidates. We discuss the implication of our findings for selection and prediction of performance of within military environments. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved).

N2 - The prevalence of oculomotor dysfunctions associated with blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in warfighters has increased as a consequence of recent conflicts. This study evaluated the effectiveness of computerized oculomotor vision screening (COVS) in a military population. Oculomotor functions were assessed with COVS and by conventional methods in 20 U.S. military personnel with and 20 without mTBI. The validity of COVS was determined by Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman method or the kappa coefficient. The repeatability of the COVS was assessed with the coefficient of repeatability or the kappa coefficient. The results showed that COVS had high sensitivity and specificity for screening near oculomotor functions. Overall, the COVS showed excellent validity and repeatability for assessing near lateral and vertical phorias, Worth 4 Dot, and fixation, as well as pursuit and saccadic eye movements. Despite the strong Pearson correlation, the Bland-Altman analysis identified minor to moderate discrepancies for both positive and negative fusional vergence and their associated recovery as well as for the monocular accommodative facility measurements. This study demonstrated that non-eye-care professionals may be able to use the COVS as a tool to efficiently screen oculomotor functions in a military population with or without mTBI.

N2 - The flavonoid quercetin is purported to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study examined if quercetin supplementation attenuates indicators of exercise-induced muscle damage in a double-blind laboratory study. Thirty healthy subjects were randomized to quercetin (QU) or placebo (PL) supplementation and performed 2 separate sessions of 24 eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors. Muscle strength, soreness, resting arm angle, upper arm swelling, serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, plasma quercetin (PQ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed before and for 5 d after exercise. Subjects then ingested nutrition bars containing 1,000 mg/d QU or PL for 7 d before and 5 d after the second exercise session, using the opposite arm. PQ reached 202 ± 52 ng/ml after 7 d of supplementation and remained elevated during the 5-d postexercise recovery period (p < .05). Subjects experienced strength loss (peak = 47%), muscle soreness (peak = 39 ± 6 mm), reduced arm angle (-7° ± 1°), CK elevations (peak = 3,307 ± 1,481 U/L), and arm swelling (peak = 11 ± 2 mm; p < .0001), indicating muscle damage and inflammation; however, differences between treatments were not detected. Eccentric exercise did not alter plasma IL-6 (peak = 1.9 pg/ml) or CRP (peak = 1.6 mg/L) relative to baseline or by treatment. QU supplementation had no effect on markers of muscle damage or inflammation after eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Purpose: To examine relationships between changes in body weight, body composition, and fitness level in male students of the general population and those in the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program during the freshman year of college. Methods: Thirty-seven (18.4 ± 0.7 yr) healthy, nonsmoking, first-semester-resident male students were divided into 3 groups: low active (LA), high active (HA), and ROTC. Baseline (beginning of freshman year) and 6-month follow-up measurements included anthropometry, body composition (by DXA), 3-day food records, and physical activity (PA) assessment. Results: Weight and body-mass index did not change significantly within or among groups. HA participants compared with LA and ROTC had a significant decrease in body fat (-1.6% ± 2.5% vs. 1.9% ± 1.2% and 0.8% ± 2.2%, respectively). They also had a significant increase in lean mass compared with LA and ROTC (1.8 ± 1.1 kg vs. -0.2 ± 2.0 kg and 0.2 ± 1.7 kg, respectively). All p values were <.05. ROTC and LA participants were similar in all measures of body composition and PA and had significantly lower PA levels than the HA group. No significant relationships were observed between dietary variables and body-composition changes. Conclusions: These results suggest that higher PA was the most powerful determinant in achieving favorable body-composition outcomes. In addition, current physical training conducted by ROTC at Florida State University (which seems to be a practice nationwide) might not be sufficient to offset gains in body fat.

N2 - Recent catastrophic losses because of floods require developing resilient approaches to flood risk protection. This article assesses how diversification of a system of coastal protections might decrease the probabilities of extreme flood losses. The study compares the performance of portfolios each consisting of four types of flood protection assets in a large region of dike rings. A parametric analysis suggests conditions in which diversifications of the types of included flood protection assets decrease extreme flood losses. Increased return periods of extreme losses are associated with portfolios where the asset types have low correlations of economic risk. The effort highlights the importance of understanding correlations across asset types in planning for large-scale flood protection. It allows explicit integration of climate change scenarios in developing flood mitigation strategy. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - The purpose of this study was to compare the magnitude of knee kinematic coupling between genders and among open- and closed-chain tasks. A secondary purpose was to compare the consistency of knee kinematic coupling between genders and among open- and closed-chain tasks. Vector-coding methods were used to quantify coupling in the sagittal and transverse planes of the knee between full extension and 20 degrees of flexion as 10 males and 10 females walked, ascended and descended stairs, and performed a passive pendulum leg drop. An ANOVA showed no main effect of gender. There was a main effect of task, where coupling during the stance phase of walking was significantly greater than each of the other tasks. Intraclass correlation values suggested that males were slightly more consistent than females. A general lack of divergence between genders may be related to the tasks analyzed in this study. It is possible that more strenuous tasks may elicit larger differences. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - For servicemembers who have sustained amputations and wish to return to Active Duty, performing common military tasks is essential. The purpose of this study was to examine the metabolic requirements of servicemembers with transtibial amputations wearing a loaded rucksack and walking at a steady speed. We tested 12 servicemembers with unilateral transtibial amputations and 12 uninjured controls on a treadmill at two walking speeds (1.34 and 1.52 m/s) while they carried a 32.7 kg load. Oxygen consumption was recorded. Results showed that metabolic demand for the injured servicemembers was significantly higher (8.5% at 1.34 m/s and 10.4% at 1.52 m/s) than for controls. An understanding of energy expended duringload carriage by this study population is critical for decisions regarding return-to-duty requirements. Although significantdifferences existed between uninjured controls and those with amputations, it is important to note that those differences are less than previously published. This finding, coupled with the fact that servicemembers with transtibial amputations have redeployed, implies that, despite statistical significance, results may not be clinically relevant. Future work should include more taxing conditions to identify a threshold for potential limitations. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Background and Purpose: Athletes reporting chest pain are challenging to diagnose and equally challenging to treat. The majority of chest pain is musculoskeletal in origin, yet differentiating these from other more serious conditions should be the initial primary focus. The ability to reproduce the patient's symptoms aids in the differential diagnostic process. The purpose of this case report is to illustrate the use of dry needling (DN) to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of focal chest wall pain. Case Descriptions: A 22 year-old male military athlete with anterior chest pain, refractory to traditional physical therapy, was evaluated and treated with dry needling.Outcomes: Favorable results were achieved as demonstrated by clinically meaningful improvements in the Patient Specific Functional Scale, the Global Rating of Change score, and his physical performance which allowed this athlete to return to competition and military training. Conclusion: Dry needling in the hands of properly trained providers may aid in diagnosis and treatment of focal chest wall syndromes. Level of Evidence: Therapy, Level 4 ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Context: Individuals with low back pain (LBP) are thought to benefit from interventions that improve motor control of the lumbopelvic region. It is unknown if therapeutic exercise can acutely facilitate activation of lateral abdominal musculature. Objective: To investigate the ability of 2 types of bridging-exercise progressions to facilitate lateral abdominal muscles during an abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) in individuals with LBP. Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: 51 adults (mean ± SD age 23.1 ± 6.0 y, height 173.6 ± 10.5 cm, mass 74.7 ± 14.5 kg, and 64.7% female) with LBP. All participants met 3 of 4 criteria for stabilization-classification LBP or at least 6 best-fit criteria for stabilization classification. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to either traditional-bridge progression or suspension-exercise-bridge progression, each with 4 levels of progressive difficulty. They performed 5 repetitions at each level and were progressed based on specific criteria. Main Outcome Measures: Muscle thickness of the external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and transversus abdominis (TrA) was measured during an ADIM using ultrasound imaging preintervention and postintervention. A contraction ratio (contracted thickness:resting thickness) of the EO, IO, and TrA was used to quantify changes in muscle thickness. Results: There was not a significant increase in EO (F1,47 = 0.44, P = .51) or IO (F1,47 = .30, P = .59) contraction ratios after the exercise progression. There was a significant (F1,47 = 4.05, P = .05) group-bytime interaction wherein the traditional-bridge progression (pre = 1.55 ± 0.22; post = 1.65 ± 0.21) resulted in greater (P = .03) TrA contraction ratio after exercise than the suspension-exercise-bridge progression (pre = 1.61 ± 0.31; post = 1.58 ± 0.28). Conclusion: A single exercise progression did not acutely improve muscle thickness of the EO and IO. The magnitude of change in TrA muscle thickness after the traditional-bridging progression was less than the minimal detectable change, thus not clinically significant. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Background: Although upper extremity (UE) closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises have become commonplace in most rehabilitation programs, a clinically meaningful UE CKC functional test of unilateral ability has continued to be elusive. Objectives: To examine reliability of the Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT), evaluate the effects of arm dominance on UQYBT performance, and to determine how the UQYBT is related to specific components of the test (trunk rotation, core stability and UE function and performance) in a college-aged population.Methods: A sample of healthy college students performed the UQYBT and a series of 6 additional dynamic tests designed to assess trunk rotation, core stability, and UE performance. The relationship of these tests compared to the UQYBT was assessed. The effect of upper limb dominance for the UQYBT was also explored. Finally, test re-test reliability was established for the UQYBT. Results: Thirty subjects (24 males, 6 females, mean ages 19.5 ± 1.2 and 18.8 ± 0.8 years) were assessed during the study. The test re-test reliability was excellent for UQYBT measurements (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.9). A significant (p <0.05) fair to moderate association was observed between the UQYBT and several core stability and UE functional tests. There was no significant difference in UQYBT performance between dominant and non-dominant limbs. Discussion: The UQYBT is a reliable UE CKC test that can be used to assess unilateral UE function in a closed chain manner. The UQYBT appears to be most related to dynamic tests involving core stability and UE performance. Similarity on the UQYBT between dominant and non-dominant limbs indicates that performance on this test using a noninjured UE may serve as a reasonable measure for "normal" when testing an injured UE. Future research is needed to determine the clinical applicability of the UQYBT. Level of Evidence: 2b ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Heavy alcohol use in college students is a serious health risk. It is unclear how cultural variables impact alcohol use in Hispanic college populations. Here, the relationships between gender, bicultural identity, familism, and adherence to traditional gender roles with heavy episodic drinking (HED) in a Hispanic college sample are assessed. Participants, 80 males and 80 females, were asked to complete a questionnaire packet, which assessed demographic information, as well as measures designed to rate drinking amount and frequency, bicultural integration, familism, and traditional gender role adherence. Average age of the sample was 19.9 years (SD = 3.05), in which the majority of participants were classified as either Freshmen or Sophomores (88.8%). Overall, 47.5% of participants reported engaging in HED, with 51% of men and 44% of women reporting HED. Univariate analyses along with logistic regression were utilized to assess possible differences and correlates of HED. Neither individual predictors nor the overall model were statistically significant. These findings suggest the need for continued assessment of HED in Hispanic college students using other culturally based constructs, as well as psychosocial factors that are found to predict heavy drinking in other ethnocultural college-aged students.

N2 - Psychological resilience appears to provide a degree of inoculation against some of the most difficult mental health issues currently plaguing the U.S. military. However, the mechanisms which fuel resilience are relatively unexplored This study explored the hypothesis that perceived psychological resilience mediates the relationship between various sport- related psychological skills and indicators of PTSD. The sample was 351 Stryker Brigade soldiers who had at least one previous combat deployment. Results showed that perceived psychological resilience fully mediates the relationship between three sport-related psychological skill factors and indicators of PTSD. These results suggest that sport-related psychological skills may play a role in the development of perceived psychological resilience, which in turn, influences PTSD. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - In these times of global change, many facility emphases are competing for limited resources. Competing factors include, but are not limited to, sustainable design or green buildings; security, hardening or force protection; accessibility; historic preservation; aesthetics; and functionality. Yet, unlimited resources are seldom, if ever, available to fulfill all of these competing requirements in private or public construction. The Georgia Institute of Technology designed a decision matrix to allow owners and planners to balance these competing requirements on a project-by-project basis and to document the rationale.

AB - Human activity is an important factor influencing particle resuspension in the indoor environment. This work studies the applicability of a multizone airflow and contaminant transport model (CONTAM 2.1) in the simulation of indoor dispersion of particles under human activity disturbance. An iterative method is suggested to complement CONTAM 2.1, by tracking the transient particle concentration on floor surface due to dynamic deposition and resuspension process. A three-zone building with a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system is used as the simulation case to test the convergence and accuracy of this algorithm under different particle-release scenarios. The algorithm shows a very fast convergence speed in the simulation. Comparisons of calculation results between the multizone model and the analytical model show good agreement and verify the accuracy of the multizone model simulation. The airborne particle concentration profiles and human breathing dose are also analyzed for the three-zone building model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper presents results from the simulation of localized, short-duration bioaerosol releases in a hypothetical building similar to a dormitory or barracks using public domain multizone air flow and contaminant dispersion modeling software. The primary purpose of the modeling was to generate example exposure data to be used in the development of a comprehensive microbial risk assessment methodology. However, these results are also of intrinsic interest for what they reveal about the contribution of various building characteristics to risk from airborne contaminants. A variety of parameters were varied, including building construction, heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system design, and release characteristics, among others. Results of these simulations demonstrate the variability of exposure possible under different scenarios and, more particularly, the impact that HVAC design decisions can have on risk. Although a single building and restricted set of scenarios was investigated, several general conclusions could be drawn regarding factors, such as HVAC zoning and filter maintenance, that intrinsically contribute to vulnerability reduction.

AB - The Chief Technology Officer position has been adopted by a wide variety of industries that are seeking to leverage technology within products and services. The position calls for an operational executive who can make important strategic decisions that impact the competitive position of the company. However, little research has been done to define the CTO's responsibilities, methods of evaluating the person's performance, and the skills that he or she should bring to the office. This paper identifies five dominant patterns of the CTO position, labeled the Genius, Administrator, Director, Executive, and Advocate. These patterns are useful in understanding the diversity within the position and in matching a CTO from a specific pattern to a business with unique issues to be addressed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Senior leaders responsible for managing US Army installations asked the United States Military Academy to analyze the regional organization of the US Army's Installation Management Agency (IMA) and recommend alternatives. They wanted an analysis of IMA's use of four geographical regions to manage installations in the continental United States. We interviewed stakeholders to identify the functions of the IMA regional organization. We used decision analysis to define the potential value added of various regional alternatives by measuring how well each alternative would perform the functions. The measures captured the effectiveness and efficiency of the regional organization for each function. We then developed and evaluated several regional alternatives (one region, two regions, three regions, four regions, five regions, and eight regions). Using decision analysis, we showed that four was a reasonable number of regions to manage installations effectively. We demonstrated that decreasing the number of regions below four would significantly reduce the value regions added to installation management and increasing the number would provide little additional benefit.

AB - Boundary layer wind data observed by a Doppler lidar and sonic anemometers during the mornings of three intensive observational periods (IOP2, IOP3, and IOP7) of the Joint Urban 2003 (JU2003) field experiment are analyzed to extract the mean and turbulent characteristics of airflow over Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A strong nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ) dominated the flow in the boundary layer over the measurement domain from midnight to the morning hours. Lidar scans through the LLJ taken after sunrise indicate that the LLJ elevation shows a gradual increase of 25–100 m over the urban area relative to that over the upstream suburban area. The mean wind speed beneath the jet over the urban area is about 10%–15% slower than that over the suburban area. Sonic anemometer observations combined with Doppler lidar observations in the urban and suburban areas are also analyzed to investigate the boundary layer turbulence production in the LLJ-dominated atmospheric boundary layer. The turbulence kinetic energy was higher over the urban domain mainly because of the shear production of building surfaces and building wakes. Direct transport of turbulent momentum flux from the LLJ to the urban street level was very small because of the relatively high elevation of the jet. However, since the LLJ dominated the mean wind in the boundary layer, the turbulence kinetic energy in the urban domain is correlated directly with the LLJ maximum speed and inversely with its height. The results indicate that the jet Richardson number is a reasonably good indicator for turbulent kinetic energy over the urban domain in the LLJ-dominated atmospheric boundary layer.

AB - A variety of atmospheric boundary layer parameters are examined as a function of wind direction in both urban and suburban settings in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, derived from measurements during the Joint Urban 2003 field campaign. Heterogeneous surface characteristics result in significant differences in upwind fetch and, therefore, statistically significant differences in measured values, even for small changes in wind direction. Taller upwind obstructions yield larger measured values of drag coefficient and turbulence intensity than do shorter upwind obstructions regardless of whether the obstruction is a building or a tree. The fraction of turbulent kinetic energy going into streamwise, cross-stream, and vertical variances differs depending on the upwind fetch, and reduced cross-stream values may indicate locations of persistent wind stream convergence. In addition, a quadrant analysis of burst/sweep behavior near the surface is examined as a function of wind direction in urban and suburban environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Electrokinetic injection of lactate, a negatively charged biodegradable organic, in homogeneous soils is evaluated. Net lactate migration rate on the order of 5 cm2/V day is measured in sand from cathode towards the anode. The ionic injection in sand was dependent on current density; however, the increase in electric current did not result in an equivalent increase in lactate transport due to development of an appreciable electroosmotic (EO) flow from the anode to the cathode. While high EO flow (ke on the order 10-6 to 10-5 cm2/V s) occurred in clay samples, ion migration from cathode to anode is the dominant transport process under relatively high current density (5.3 A/m2 in this study) and can be used as an effective transport mechanism for negatively charged additives. An effective lactate reactive transport rate of more than 3 cm/d (under 1 V/cm) can be achieved in clays, which is at least two orders of magnitude greater than hydraulic injection under unit hydraulic gradient. Even though lactate concentrations in the clay were below 10% of the boundary value due to biological transformation, these concentrations (few 100 s mg/L) are high enough to maintain microbial activities capable of degrading organic contaminants. At the same time, control experiments showed that, while lactate adsorption was negligible, hydraulic injection under a unit gradient was ineffective because of the low hydraulic conductivity of clay and the biodegradation of lactate.

AB - Wind and tracer data from the Oklahoma City Joint Urban 2003 (JU2003) and the Manhattan Madison Square Garden 2005 (MSG05) urban field experiments are being analyzed to aid in understanding air flow and dispersion near street-level in built-up downtown areas. The mean winds are separately calculated for groups of anemometers having similar exposures such as “near street level” and “on building top”. Several general results are found, such as the scalar wind speed at street level is about 1/3 of that at building top. Turbulent standard deviations of wind speed components and temperature, and vertical fluxes of momentum and sensible heat, are calculated from sonic anemometers near street level at 20 locations in JU2003 and five locations in MSG05, and from two rooftop locations in MSG05. The turbulence observations are consistent with observations in the literature at other cities, although the JU2003 and MSG05 data are unique in that many data are available near street level. For example, it is found that the local (i.e., at the measuring height) $$\sigma_{w}/u_{\ast}$$ averages about 1.5 and the local $$u_{\ast}/u$$ averages about 0.25 in the two cities, where $$\sigma_{w}$$ is the standard deviation of vertical velocity fluctuations, $$u_{\ast}$$ is the friction velocity, and u is the wind speed. The ratio of temperature fluctuations to temperature scale, $$\sigma_{T}/T_{\ast}$$ , averages about −3 in both cities, consistent with similarity theory for slightly unstable conditions, where $$\sigma_{T}$$ is the standard deviation of temperature fluctuations, and $$T_{\ast}$$ is the temperature scale. The calculated Obukhov length, L, is also consistent with slightly unstable conditions near street level, even at night during JU2003. The SF6 tracer concentration observations from JU2003 are analyzed. Values of $$uC_{max}/Q$$ for the continuous releases are calculated for each release and arc distance, where $$C_{max}$$ is the 30-min average arc maximum concentration, Q is the continuous source emission rate, and u is the spatial-averaged wind speed in the downtown area. The basic characteristics of the JU2003 plot of averaged $$uC_{max}/Q$$ agree reasonably well with similar plots for other urban experiments in Salt Lake City and London (i.e., at $$x < 1000 m, C_{max}/Q = Ax^{-2})$$ . A is found to be about 3 during the day and about 10 during the night. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Devils Lake in North Dakota is a terminal, multibasin, saline lake with an overall surface area that is currently approximately 44,520 ha(110,000 acres). Lake elevation has increased by more than 7 m within 10 years, and vast areas of prairie and cropland have been flooded. The lake is rich in sulfate, and water column sulfate concentrations are relatively uniform within each of the five major basins, but increase from 3.1 mM(300 mg/L) in West Bay to 31 mM(3,000 mg/L) in East Devils Lake. Sediment cores were collected from three of the basins at different water depths, and used in laboratory studies to evaluate the spatial distribution of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) activity in the lake sediments. The high sulfate concentrations within the experimental sediment cores suggest that the activity of SRB is limited by the availability of suitable electron donors rather than by the availability of sulfate and that SRB activity can be defined by a zero-order volumetric rate constant (K0). Experimentally determined K0 values ranged from 11 to 88 mmolSO42-m-3 day-1. The water depths from which sediment cores were collected in Devils Lake are related to the elapsed time since inundation by the rising lake level. It was found that time since inundation influences the observed K0 value. Mean K0 values for cores from an average depth of 4.8 m (submergence time of about 5 years), and 9.4 m (submergence time of about 28 years) were 62 and 17 mmolSO42-m-3 day-1, respectively. The significant difference (two-tailed t-test, p<0.05) suggests that SRB activities in the Devils Lake sediments change with submergence times. A uniform sulfate reduction rate applied to all Devils Lake sediments is therefore only a crude approximation of reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objective: The study was done to determine whether thermal comfort (TC), thermal sensation (TS), and subjective factors gauging environmental stress were negatively affected with different cooling methods in men exercising in chemical protective clothing.Background: Previous studies have reported that intermittent regional cooling improved the efficacy of cooling as compared with constant cooling (CC), but no studies have addressed whether there is any improvement in thermal comfort.Methods: Eight male volunteers exercised at moderate work intensity (425 W) in three microclimate cooling tests. The circulating fluid in the cooling garment was provided during exercise to the head (6% body surface area [BSA]), torso (22% BSA), and thighs (44% BSA) and manipulated under three methods: (a) CC, (b) pulsed cooling (PC), and (c) PC activated by mean skin temperature (T(sk)) control (PC(skin)). TC and TS ratings were recorded every 20 min during the 80-min test.Results: TC and TS ratings were not different for PC(skin) and CC; thus the participants perceived PC(skin) as being similar to CC. TS was significantly warmer with PC than with PC(skin) and CC (p < .001). In PC(skin), T(sk) was significantly higher than in PC and CC (p < .001), and PC(skin) was rated as being not as warm as PC according to TS.Conclusion: This indicates that the PC(skin) method was perceived as being as cool as CC and cooler than PC.Application: These findings indicate that the PC(skin) cooling method is an acceptable alternative to CC and PC based on human perceptions.

AB - The use of vinyl ester (VE) resins in the composites industry has increased in the last decade, and the trend is projected to continue. Styrene is a commonly used co-monomer in VE resins, which acts as a reactive diluent and is required in many liquid molding methods to reduce viscosity and increase gel time. The emission rate of styrene from VE resins is affected by various parameters, including styrene content, temperature, and resin surface-to-volume ratio. This study experimentally measured the effect of these parameters on styrene emission rates from VE resins. It was observed that the emission rate and amount of styrene decreased with decreasing surface-to-volume ratio, temperature, and styrene content. It is also shown that diffusion coefficient and evaporation coefficient of styrene have an exponential relationship with temperature, while they remained constant with initial styrene concentration and aspect ratio. Emission rate and amount decreased with increasing resin initial depth to radius ratio. The emission profiles were self-similar for different aspect ratios and were scaled by the ratio of the instantaneous sample depth to radius. Overall, the effect of these various parameters on the emission profile can be accurately modeled using a modification of a simple one-dimensional diffusion model based on the Crank solution to diffusion through a planar sheet.

AB - Aims: To investigate the cause and to eliminate the inactivation of Bacillus anthracis strain Sterne spores settled onto agar and stainless steel surfaces in plastic holders. Methods and Results: In an experimental chamber in which spores settled onto sampling surfaces, vapourous hydrogen peroxide (VHP) was used for decontamination between experiments. It was demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) absorbed into plastic (Plexiglas®) surfaces and could outgas in the sample holders. Further experiments demonstrated that H2O2 was released from Plexiglas® sample holders in sufficient quantity to inactivate spores. High temperature degassing (30–35°C) for several days or aluminum coating of the surfaces were two remedies found to be effective in preventing inadvertent spore inactivation. Conclusions: H2O2 can be absorbed into plastic and released after an extended period of time (weeks), allowing a sufficient concentration to accumulate in small volumes to inactivate spores. Outgassing the plastic or coating the surface with an impermeable layer are potential solutions to reduce spore inactivation. Significance and Impact of the Study: Many studies with bacilli and other organisms are carried out using small plastic containers that may have been sterilized using H2O2 or other agents. This study presents a cautionary note to ensure elimination of H2O2 or other sterilizing agents to prevent spurious results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Consistently at Superfund and other contaminated terrestrial sites, ecological receptors have been chemically exposed for multiple decades by the time risk assessments are conducted. Given that numerous generations of the receptors have lived through the contaminated site condition by the present day, a paradigm shift from risk assessment, where the potential for health effects are forecasted, to a direct, health status assessment scheme for the site-exposed receptor, would seem to be most appropriate. We applied the only such existing direct health status assessment method, Rodent Sperm Analysis (RSA), with small rodents trapped at contaminated sites and at matched noncontaminated reference locations. Reproductive health, ecological risk assessment’s endpoint of greatest concern, is targeted with RSA by comparing the sperm parameters of count, motility, and morphology, for each of which it is known how much of a change from a control condition signifies compromised reproductive capability. Given that sperm parameter thresholds were not exceeded in maximally exposed receptors, the data suggest that in the general case, contaminated terrestrial sites do not need cleanups to afford health protection to ecological species, and particularly the larger, wider-ranging, higher trophic level species. Our findings suggest that RSA has the ability to consistently discriminate between clean and contaminated sites, and that the method can allow for as definitive determinations of terrestrial ecological receptor health as are possible, thereby facilitating early site clean-up decisions.

AB - Use of small arms during training is an important activity associated with the development and proficiency of soldiers. These weapons traditionally have used copper-jacketed lead projectiles; the copper facilitates the oxidation of the metallic lead resulting in more mobile oxides and carbonates. Consequently, many ranges at installations have high soil concentrations of lead. Many of these ranges are no longer used and have become habitat for wildlife. To address the potential for adverse effects from lead exposure in songbirds, we compared the outputs of traditional deterministic exposure models with a spatial model and compared the results of both with blood-lead levels from songbird species at two small arms range complexes. An integrative data collection procedure was used and incorporated into the spatially explicit exposure model (SEEM) for two small arms range sites. Site-specific data were used to refine model input parameters. These data included lead soil concentrations, analysis of lead concentrations in nestling food items, acid-insoluble ash content of feces (to estimate soil ingestion), location and mapping of singing males, and nest site location and characteristics. Territorial males also were spot-mapped to determine likelihood of breeding activity. Modeled estimates of risk were compared with blood and feather lead levels of adults and nestlings. Overall, edge species had higher blood-lead concentrations; however, most had concentrations below subclinical effect levels. Conventional deterministic methods produced risk estimates exceeding 10-fold the highest SEEM estimates. The spatially explicit exposure model provided good agreement with field observations and therefore produced more accurate risk estimates. The present study provides support for the application of spatial methods over conventional deterministic methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Explosives and their breakdown products are commonly found in soils at U.S. military installations. Many areas where these compounds are found represent useful habitat for ground-foraging birds. Because these birds likely are exposed to such compounds, we evaluated the oral toxicity of 2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT) in a representative ground-foraging species of management concern. Adult male and female northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) were exposed to either 0, 5, 10, 40, or 60 mg/kg/d via gavage for 60 d (subchronic) following determination of the median acute lethal dose (320 mg/kg). Circulating levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner; however, levels remained within normal ranges. Plasma concentrations of total protein, albumin, globulin, aspartate aminotransferase, and potassium, sodium, and chlorine ions were significantly decreased, and circulating levels of uric acid were significantly increased. Decreased body weight, enlarged gallbladders, edematous gastrointestinal tracts, pale kidneys, pale and fibrous livers, and loose stools were consistent observations. The effects found in the clinical chemistries taken together with histopathological abnormalities observed in sections of hepatic and renal tissue suggest that the liver and kidneys are major targets for 2,6-DNT. Oral exposures to 2,6-DNT appear to affect northern bobwhite in a manner similar to that of the other main DNT isomer, 2,4-DNT, but in more subtle ways, adversely affecting the gastrointestinal system and leading to diarrhea and, ultimately, emaciation. The lowest-observed-adverse-effect level is 40 mg/kg/d based on hematological measures, and the no-observed-adverse-effect level is 10 mg/kg/d based on the absence of results indicative of adverse effects.

AB - Families are traveling with their children in increasing frequency. Travel to Asia offers children many opportunities to learn about new cultures and history. It also offers the potential for exposure to numerous infectious agents not commonly encountered in the United States. Families must begin to prepare for travel to Asia weeks before departure. Children should be up to date on routine vaccinations. Appropriate education should be given on arthropod avoidance and malaria prophylaxis. Additional education and possible prophylaxis should be completed for other infectious agents frequently encountered in Asia. With appropriate pretrip immunizations and prophylaxis, children can travel to Asia with minimal risk of acquiring infection. This article provides general advice to assist providers with pretravel preparation and education of families traveling with children to Asia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Freezing precipitation is a persistent winter weather problem that costs the United States millions of dollars annually. Costs and infrastructure disruption may be greatly reduced by ice-storm warnings issued by the National Weather Service (NWS), and by the development of climatologies that allow improved design of infrastructure elements. However, neither the NWS nor developers of climatologies have had direct measurements of ice-storm accumulations as a basis for issuing warnings and developing storm design standards. This paper describes the development of an aviation routine/special weather report (METAR/SPECI) remark that will report quantitative ice thickness at over 650 locations during ice storms using new algorithms developed for the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS). Characteristics of the ASOS icing sensor, a field program to develop the algorithms, tests of accuracy, application of the algorithms, and sources of error are described, as is the implementation of an ice-thickness METAR/SPECI remark. The algorithms will potentially allow freezing precipitation events to be tracked with regard to ice accumulation in near–real time as they progress across the United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this article the author examines a problem in the design of the freight rail system operating in the Midwestern region of the United States. As a result of railroad networks having developed through mergers and acquisition rather than through organic evolution or purpose-built design, choke points and bottlenecks have emerged, particularly in the Chicago, Illinois rail hub. The author comments on the proposed plan to develop an integrated Midwestern rail corridor that would avoid the congestion caused at Chicago and at a number of other points.

AB - We investigated factors affecting sightability of oryx (Oryx gazella gazella) during fixed-wing aerial surveys in desert grass-shrubland habitat types to develop a sightability-adjusted population estimator to aid in precise population management. Sightability of oryx was affected by group size, activity, and vegetation type. We used logistic regression to model all possible combinations of the three significant variables, and compared models with a variety of fit and information-theoretic statistics as well as by relative performance. Because no model was superior to the others, we used relative performance among all models and parsimony to select the preferred model. Our preferred model included variables for social group size and three levels of group activity (bedded, standing, moving). This model estimated oryx population size as 3917 (3534-4297) and 3312 (2999-3593) for two annual surveys, and showed a deviance of -0.007 and -0.03 from the grand mean of all models for these surveys, respectively. Full confidence interval widths from complete surveys (100% of area covered) were 19.0% and 17.9% of mean population estimates, allowing for precise estimation and consequently management of the oryx population, although confidence interval widths will vary with group size and behaviour. Oryx surveys should be conducted during periods when group sizes are largest locally, which was the summer in New Mexico, to maximize sightability of oryx and thus minimize variation in population estimates due to sighting error.

AB - At 105-mm howitzer firing points, 2,4-DNT is detectable in the surface soils, but field sampling and laboratory subsampling uncertainty can be large during quantitation. The 2,4-DNT is in particulate form, within fibers or slivers of the nitrocellulose-based propellant. The slender fibers range up to 7.5 mm in length with masses of several 100 μ g. Size fractionation of a firing point soil revealed that most of the 2,4-DNT was in the 0.595- to 2.00-mm size range, although the bulk of the soil was less than 0.6 mm prior to grinding. Machine grinding for five minutes was needed to pulverize the propellant fibers sufficiently so that estimates of 2,4-DNT were reproducible in replicate analytical subsamples. To determine 2,4-DNT, we have adopted the practice of grinding firing point soils for five one-minute intervals, with time for heat dissipation between grinds, prior to obtaining individual or replicate 10-g subsamples.

AB - Measurements of atmospheric turbulence made during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean Experiment (SHEBA) are used to examine the profile stability functions of momentum, φ m , and sensible heat, φ h , in the stably stratified boundary layer over the Arctic pack ice. Turbulent fluxes and mean meteorological data that cover different surface conditions and a wide range of stability conditions were continuously measured and reported hourly at five levels on a 20-m main tower for 11 months. The comprehensive dataset collected during SHEBA allows studying φ m and φ h in detail and includes ample data for the very stable case. New parameterizations for φ m (ζ) and φ h (ζ) in stable conditions are proposed to describe the SHEBA data; these cover the entire range of the stability parameter ζ = z/ L from neutral to very stable conditions, where L is the Obukhov length and z is the measurement height. In the limit of very strong stability, φ m follows a ζ 1/3 dependence, whereas φ h initially increases with increasing ζ, reaches a maximum at ζ ≈ 10, and then tends to level off with increasing ζ. The effects of self-correlation, which occur in plots of φ m and φ h versus ζ, are reduced by using an independent bin-averaging method instead of conventional averaging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sturgeon specimens encountered in the wild that exhibit visible signs of gross physical trauma often look to the naked eye to be in otherwise good condition. Visible morphological anomalies were observed in 9.1% of 176 pallid ( Scaphirhynchus albus) and 4.6% of 4904 shovelnose ( Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) sturgeon specimens captured in the Middle (mouth of Missouri River to mouth of Ohio River) and Lower (below mouth of Ohio River) Mississippi River from 1997 to 2004. Frequencies among the types of anomalies differed between the lower and middle river reaches. In the lower river, deformities from foreign objects (typically rubber bands) comprised almost one-third of anomalies observed and may have contributed to other types of anterior injury which, if combined, would comprise the majority of lower river anomalies. In the middle river, nearly half of the observed anomalies involved damage to the caudal peduncle, usually a missing tail. Power regressions from length–weight relationships were compared for anomalous and non-anomalous specimens and demonstrated no significant disparity, verifying the resiliency of river sturgeons.

AB - Pallid sturgeon ( Scaphirhynchus albus) captured in the Middle and Lower Mississippi River (i.e. below St. Louis, MO, USA) are morphologically very similar to shovelnose sturgeon ( Scaphirhynchus platorynchus). Available empirical data are limited to a few studies based on low sample sizes from disjointed populations. Geneticists are currently searching for markers that will differentiate the two species, but the need for unequivocal species-specific field characters remains. Continuation of commercial fishing for shovelnose sturgeon in some states necessitates an immediate means for accurate field identifications. Previous studies of lower basin river sturgeon classified individuals with simple morphometric character indices and interpreted intermediacy as interspecific hybridization. In this study, morphometric variation among Scaphirhynchus specimens from the Middle and Lower Mississippi River is examined for evidence of hybridization. Data are compared for large (>250-mm standard length) hatchery-reared and wild pallid specimens and wild shovelnose specimens. Specimens are compared using two morphometric character indices, two morphometric/meristic character indices and principal components analysis. Results indicate substantial morphological variation among pallid sturgeon below the mouth of the Missouri River. The amount of variation appears to decrease downstream in the Mississippi River. Sheared principal components analysis of morphometric data shows complete separation of shovelnose and pallid sturgeon specimens, whereas character indices indicate overlap. Both character indices and sheared principal components analysis demonstrate that pallid sturgeon in the Lower Mississippi River are morphologically more similar to shovelnose sturgeon than are pallids from the Upper Missouri River. This similarity, explained in previous studies as hybridization, may be the result of latitudinal morphometric variation and length-at-age differences between populations of the upper and lower extremes of the range.

AB - We investigated the influence of substrate type, water depth, light, and relative water velocity on microhabitat selection in juvenile pallid ( Scaphirhynchus albus) and shovelnose ( Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) sturgeon. Individual sturgeon were placed in an 18 927 L elliptical flume, and their location was recorded after a 2-h period. Data were analyzed using exact chi-square goodness of fit tests and exact tests of independence. Both sturgeon species used substrate, depth, and light in similar proportions. (all comparisons; P > 0.05). Specifically, pallid and shovelnose sturgeon did not use substrate in proportion to its availability (pallid: P = 0.0026; shovelnose: P = 0.0199). Each species used sand substrate more and gravel substrate less than expected based on availability. Additionally, neither species used woody structure. Both species used deep areas in greater proportion than availability while shallow areas were used less than expected based on availability (pallid; P < 0.0001; shovelnose; P = 0.0335). Pallid and shovelnose sturgeon used very dark areas in greater proportion than expected based on availability; however, very light areas were used in lower proportion than expected (P < 0.0001). Overall, neither species changed their use of habitat in relation to a change in water velocity (pallid, all comparisons P > 0.05; shovelnose, all comparisons P > 0.05). This study is the first investigation of juvenile pallid and shovelnose sturgeon habitat selection in a large-scale artificial stream system. Field studies of microhabitat selection by juvenile pallid and shovelnose sturgeon should be carried out to substantiate the results of this study, and to identify critical habitat for recovery and management of sturgeon species. Due to the extensive range, longevity, and migratory behavior of these fishes, proper management likely requires river improvements that provide sturgeon with access to a broad range of habitat conditions over time, including system-wide habitat diversity; natural variation in flow, velocity, temperature, and turbidity; high water quality; a broad prey base; free-flowing river sections which provide suitable spawning and rearing sites, as well as protection from recreational and commercial harvesting.

AB - The gut contents of 12 museum specimens of the federally (USA) endangered Alabama sturgeon were analyzed. This collective series represents 32% of the known museum specimens. Gut contents were dominated by aquatic insects and fishes. At the taxonomic level of insect orders, Dipterans (174.3/fish) were the most numerically abundant food item consumed, followed by Ephemeroptera (19.0/fish), Trichoptera (4.0/fish), Coleoptera (2.4/fish), and Odonata (2.0/fish). Weight, which better reflects the caloric value of food items consumed, showed a similar consumption pattern. Dipterans (12.5%) made up the largest percentage of the total weight of insect prey, followed by Ephemeroptera (8.9%), Trichoptera (6.0%), Odonata, (4.5%) and Coleoptera (0.9%). Volumetric values were substantially higher than weights for Odonata (13.4%) and Ephemeroptera (14.3%), but were comparable for Diptera (10.6%), Trichoptera (4.7%), and Coleoptera (2.2%). The diet of the Alabama sturgeon is similar to the pallid and shovelnose sturgeon, eating both aquatic invertebrates and fish. In terms of piscivory, the volume of fish in the diet of the Alabama sturgeon (34.5%) is intermediate between that of the shovelnose (0% fish) and the pallid sturgeon (60% fish). Based upon the habitat preference of the prey family assemblages present from the 12 guts examined, probable feeding habitats of this sturgeon include sandy to rocky bottoms, slow to swift water velocities, and the water column. Conservation of fish prey may be important to the survival and recovery of the Alabama sturgeon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - 1. Shortcuts to measuring biodiversity enable prioritization of conservation effort in the face of limited time, personnel and funding. The conservation umbrella approach focuses management effort according to individual species that may confer protection to a larger community. This approach can help guide the management agenda towards attainable goals by maximizing conservation returns per unit effort. The development of the umbrella index has shown promise in identifying umbrella species in terrestrial ecosystems but has received little attention with respect to the management of wetland ecosystems. 2. We used the umbrella index to assess the umbrella potential of vascular plants and dragonflies (Odonata) from 15 wetland impoundments in northern Mississippi, USA. The presence of adult odonates was determined by repeated visual surveys and plant lists were compiled from 50 plots per site. 3. Umbrella schemes, or the sites occupied by top umbrella species, missed large numbers of beneficiary species and occurrences. With one exception, umbrella schemes failed to optimize conservation returns relative to randomized schemes in both assemblages. Also, umbrella schemes approximately equalled the performance of non-umbrella schemes both overall and for species with a low rate of occurrence. Low occurrence rates in both assemblages may have hindered umbrella index performance because the index assumes that species with moderate occurrence rates have the most umbrella potential. 4. Cross-taxon analyses (Mantel tests and McNemar tests) suggested transferability of plant and dragonfly umbrella schemes, and non-random association between the plants and dragonflies in these wetlands. 5. Synthesis and applications. Despite the questionable performance of umbrella schemes in our study, the use of a quantitative ecological tool such as the umbrella index instead of political or popularity criteria is strongly recommended for future selection of umbrella species. The results of cross-taxon analyses supported growing evidence for spatial and functional relationships between wetland macrophytes and adult odonates. We suggest that the more easily measured assemblage can be used to set priorities for wetland conservation planning in circumstances where human resources are constrained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The analytical procedure U.S. EPA SW-846 method 8330 is the predominant technique used for analysis of energetic compounds in water and soil. The basis for compound identification is nonspecific and for some complex samples may yield false-positive results for energetic compounds. Suspended particulates and drilling fluids are potential interferents introduced to ground water profile samples. Profile samples had a higher frequency of false positives relative to monitoring well samples. Additionally, the false-positive frequency was lower in samples where no lubricants or greases were used during drilling and sampling. Protocol refinements, the inclusion of photodiode array (PDA) spectral analysis, visual inspection of chromatograms and PDA spectra, and careful manual data evaluation have reduced false-positive detections. A project team investigating ground water with the potential for energetic compounds must have extensive experience with method 8330, knowledge of how to use PDA analysis, and experience in interpreting chromatograms and PDA spectra for the target compounds.

AB - It was discovered in 1995 that, during the spring time, unexpectedly low concentrations of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) occurred in the Arctic air. This was surprising for a pollutant known to have a long residence time in the atmosphere; however conditions appeared to exist in the Arctic that promoted this depletion of mercury (Hg). This phenomenon is termed atmospheric mercury depletion events (AMDEs) and its discovery has revolutionized our understanding of the cycling of Hg in Polar Regions while stimulating a significant amount of research to understand its impact to this fragile ecosystem. Shortly after the discovery was made in Canada, AMDEs were confirmed to occur throughout the Arctic, sub-Artic and Antarctic coasts. It is now known 10 that, through a series of photochemically initiated reactions involving halogens, GEM is converted to a more reactive species and is subsequently associated to particles in the air and/or deposited to the polar environment. AMDEs are a means by which Hg is transferred from the atmosphere to the environment that was previously unknown. In this article we review the history of Hg in Polar Regions, the methods used to collect Hg in different environmental media, research results of the current understanding of AMDEs from field, laboratory and modeling work, how Hg cycles around the environment after AMDEs, gaps in our current knowledge and the future impacts that AMDEs may have on polar environments. The research presented has shown that while considerable improvements in methodology to measure Hg have been made the main limitation remains knowing the speciation of Hg in the various media. The processes that drive AMDEs and how they occur are discussed. As well, the roles that the snow pack, oceans, fresh water and the sea ice play in the cycling of Hg are presented. It has been found that deposition of Hg from AMDEs occurs at marine coasts and not far inland and that a fraction of the deposited Hg does not remain in the same form in the snow. Kinetic studies undertaken have demonstrated that bromine is the major oxidant depleting Hg in the atmosphere. Modeling results demonstrate that there is a significant deposition of Hg to Polar Regions as a result of AMDEs. Models have also shown that Hg is readily transported to the Arctic from source regions, at times during springtime when this environment is actively transforming Hg from the atmosphere to the snow and ice surfaces. The presence of significant amounts of methyl Hg in snow in the Arctic surrounding AMDEs is important because this species is the link between the environment and impacts to wildlife and humans. Further, much work on methylation and demethylation processes have occurred but are not yet fully understood. Recent changes in the climate and sea ice cover in Polar Regions are likely to have strong effects on the cycling of Hg in this environment; however more research is needed to understand Hg processes in order to formulate meaningful predictions of these changes.

AB - Thiodiglycol (TG), a hydrolysis product of sulfur mustard (HD), is a potential contaminant of soil and water at certain military sites. To establish developmental toxicity criteria for TG, an oral developmental toxicity study was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats. Neat thiodiglycol (99.9 %) was administered orally to mated female rats from gestation days (GDs) 5 through 19. The day of positive mating was considered day 0. A pilot study was conducted with TG at dose levels 250, 500, 1000, 2000, or 5000 mg/kg to select suitable doses for the main study. In the main study, three groups of rats (25/group) received TG by gavage at dose levels of 430, 1290, or 3870 mg/kg/day. A fourth group served as a sham control. On day 20 of gestation, all females were euthanized and a cesarean section performed. Litters were examined for soft tissue and skeletal alterations. Maternal toxicity was limited to dams receiving TG at 3870 mg/kg/day. At this dose, body weights and food consumption were reduced during certain periods of gestation. Fetuses derived from those dams exhibited a nonstatistically significant increased incidence of variations when compared to controls. Fetal body weights in the 3870 mg/kg/day group were significantly lower than controls. There was no increased incidence of anomalies when thiodiglycol-treated fetuses were compared to controls. It was concluded that TG did not produce terata. Developmental toxicity (decreased fetal weights and associated delays in development) occurred only at the maternally toxic dose of 3870 mg/kg. It appears that 1290 mg/kg/day could be considered no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for oral developmental toxicity. The lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) was 3870 mg/kg for maternal toxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A numerical model based on the time-averaged continuity, cross-shore momentum, longshore momentum, and energy equations is developed to predict the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the free surface elevation and depth-averaged cross-shore and longshore velocities under obliquely incident irregular breaking waves. The suspended sediment volume per unit horizontal area is estimated using the computed energy dissipation rates due to wave breaking and bottom friction. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is estimated as the product of the longshore current and suspended sediment volume. The developed model is compared with limited field and laboratory data. The calibrated model is in fair agreement with the data. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is shown to be approximately proportional to the square of the longshore current. The developed model appears promising but will need to be evaluated using extensive data sets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Military activities associated with training have resulted in soil residues of munition compounds and their breakdown products. Often, these areas are valuable habitats used by birds. To evaluate the possibility of adverse effects in birds, the effects from oral exposures of 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT) and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) were tested using a controlled dosing regime in northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). Nine groups of birds of mixed sex received either corn oil or 50, 100, 190, or 350 mg 2,6-DNT/kg body weight/d or 20, 80, 125, or 180 mg RDX/kg body weight/d mixed in corn oil via gavage for 14 d. Etiology of disease was markedly different between compounds. Increased RDX exposure caused an inverse relationship to time of death, symptoms including clonic followed by tonic convulsions, and death shortly thereafter. Brain concentrations of RDX postmortem, however, were relatively consistent (mean ± standard error, 20.5 ± 2.9 mg/kg tissue). Observations of 2,6-DNT effects included gastrointestinal distress, dehydration, and a reduction in body mass and feed consumption. Together, these data suggest that RDX is more toxic from short, repeated exposures than 2,6-DNT, resulting in central nervous system—related effects, whereas 2,6-DNT causes gastrointestinal disturbances at higher exposures.

AB - Quantifying vulnerability to critical infrastructure has not been adequately addressed in the literature. Thus, the purpose of this article is to present a model that quantifies vulnerability. Vulnerability is defined as a measure of system susceptibility to threat scenarios. This article asserts that vulnerability is a condition of the system and it can be quantified using the Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment Model (I-VAM). The model is presented and then applied to a medium-sized clean water system. The model requires subject matter experts (SMEs) to establish value functions and weights, and to assess protection measures of the system. Simulation is used to account for uncertainty in measurement, aggregate expert assessment, and to yield a vulnerability (Ω) density function. Results demonstrate that I-VAM is useful to decisionmakers who prefer quantification to qualitative treatment of vulnerability. I-VAM can be used to quantify vulnerability to other infrastructures, supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA), and distributed control systems (DCS). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Results are presented from a pilot study using a fluorescent dye tracer imaged by airborne lidar in the ocean surface layer on spatial scales of meters to kilometers and temporal scales of minutes to hours. The lidar used here employs a scanning, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser to emit an infrared (1064 nm) and green (532 nm) pulse 6 ns in duration at a rate of 1 kHz. The received signal is split to infrared, green, and fluorescent (nominally 580–600 nm) channels, the latter two of which are used to compute absolute dye concentration as a function of depth and horizontal position. Comparison of dye concentrations inferred from the lidar with in situ fluorometry measurements made by ship shows good agreement both qualitatively and quantitatively for absolute dye concentrations ranging from 1 to >10 ppb. Uncertainties associated with horizontal variations in the natural seawater attenuation are approximately 1 ppb. The results demonstrate the ability of airborne lidar to capture high-resolution three-dimensional “snapshots” of the distribution of the tracer as it evolves over very short time and space scales. Such measurements offer a powerful observational tool for studies of transport and mixing on these scales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An earlier paper showed that there is a growing need for increasingly accurate and reliable numerical models to predict optical turbulence conditions, especially in complex (nonuniform) signal propagation environments. Thus, we present a finite-difference computer model to demonstrate a viable approach for predicting the microphysical (microclimate) influences on optical turbulence intensity ( C n 2) around the ARL A_LOT Facility and its surroundings (which consist of multiple building arrays and forests). Our multi-dimensional prototype model begins to address optical turbulence conditions along more complex lines-of-sight and begins to account for inhomogeneities in C n 2 brought about by horizontal changes in landscape, wind flow, temperature, and humidity. For now, the model physics represent advection, pressure gradient, eddy diffusion, and vegetation drag force processes. Simple mechanisms to predict the heat and moisture source terms have also been incorporated. Initial model results have been quite encouraging. The model code is computationally efficient and extremely flexible with regard to modifications and debugging. We anticipate that this kind of computational research will be an important vehicle for investigating C n 2 and related laser-optic propagation effects in complex areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - BACKGROUND: Inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) is characterized by lung injury and inflammation, with significant increases in the numbers of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and alveolar macrophages. This influx of cellular infiltrates is associated with the activation of multiple genes, including cytokines and chemokines, and the production of reactive oxygen species. OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of the lung injury is not fully understood, but alterations in the presence or abundance of a number of proteins in the lung have been observed. Our objective in this study was to further characterize these changes and to ask whether additional changes could be discerned using modern proteomic techniques. METHODS: The present study investigates global alterations in the proteome of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid taken from rats 1, 7, or 30 days after exposure to 5, 35, or 50 mg/kg of animal weight of DEPs. RESULTS: Analysis by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization--time of flight mass spectrometry identified two distinct peaks that appeared as an acute response postexposure at all doses in all animals. We identified these two peaks, with mass to charge ratios (m/z) of 9,100 and 10,100, as anaphylatoxin C3a and calgranulin A by additional mass spectral investigation using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. CONCLUSIONS: With this approach, we found a number of inflammatory response proteins that may be associated with the early phases of inflammation in response to DEP exposure. Further studies are warranted to determine whether serum levels of these proteins could be markers of diesel exhaust exposure in workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Laboratory and field efforts were undertaken to examine trichloroethene (TCE) dechlorination as a function of temperature as an aquifer is heated to temperatures approaching boiling. Experiments were conducted using sediment samples and during electrical resistance heating (ERH) treatment at the East Gate Disposal Yard (Fort Lewis, Washington), which contains nonaqueous phase TCE and hydrocarbon contamination. Laboratory microcosms with these sediments showed TCE dechlorination at 70°C with measured products of acetylene, ethene, and ethane, indicating an abiotic component of the degradation. In contrast, TCE was dechlorinated to cis-1,2-dichloroethene in experiments at 10°C, likely by biological reductive dechlorination. The observed products at 70°C suggest dechlorination catalyzed by reduced sediment iron. Indications of in situ dechlorination were observed in periodic ground water samples collected during field-scale ERH from an average ambient temperature of about 19°C to near boiling. Dechlorination indicators included an increase in chloride concentration at the onset of heating and observation of acetylene, ethene, and methane at elevated temperatures. The data collected in this study suggest that dechlorination can occur during ERH. The overall cost-effectiveness of ERH may be enhanced by fortuitous in situ dechlorination and, potentially, could be further enhanced by specifically designing and operating ERH to maximize in situ dechlorination.

AB - Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), both energetic compounds, share some degree of structural similarity. A noninvasive electrophysiological technique was employed to assess the impacts of acute sublethal exposures on impulse conduction in medial (MGF) and lateral (LGF) giant nerve fiber pathways of the earthworm Eisenia fetida and to evaluate the reversibility of neurotoxic effects. Earthworms were exposed to either 0.02 to 2.15 μg/cm2 of CL-20 or 0.04 to 5.35 μg/cm2 of RDX, for 1 to 14 d, on moistened filter paper. Conduction velocities of MGF and LGF were recorded on a digital oscilloscope before and after exposure. Results indicate that at exposure levels as low as 0.02 μg/cm2 of CL- 20 or 0.21 μg/cm2 of RDX, worms exhibited physiological impacts such as retardation, stiffness, and body shrink. Both MGF and LGF conduction velocities were negatively correlated with increasing doses of CL-20 or RDX. However, such neurotoxic effects were alleviated or even eliminated within a few days after exposed worms were transferred to an uncontaminated environment, indicating that the neurotoxicity is reversible even after 6-d exposure. The CL-20 is more potent than RDX, which is consistent with previous studies on lethality, growth, and reproduction endpoints in soil oligochaetes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Introduction. Hydrogen sulfide is a lipid-soluble gas produced in occupational settings and from decaying organic matter. We present a 36-year-old man who developed acute respiratory arrest from hydrogen sulfide poisoning while performing work as a dairy farmer. Case report. The subject entered a poorly ventilated tank containing degrading eggs and, within seconds, collapsed. Coworkers were able to extract him within minutes but he was apneic. He was intubated by emergency medical services and subsequently managed with supportive care in the intensive care unit. Upon admission, a powerful rotten egg scent was noted and a hydrogen sulfide poisoning was suspected. Serum analysis for the presence of thiosulfate confirmed the diagnosis. Nitrite therapy was not administered as the subject arrived outside of the therapeutic window of effectiveness and showed evidence of excellent oxygenation. His examinations following arrival were consistent with an anoxic brain injury which slowly improved several months after the incident with intensive neuro-rehabilitation. Discussion. Hydrogen sulfide is a mitochondrial toxin and inhibits cytochrome-aa3 and prevents cellular aerobic metabolism. Therapies for toxic exposures include removal from the contaminated environment, ventilation with 100% oxygen, and nitrite therapy if administered immediately after exposure. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has anecdotal support and remains controversial. Conclusion. Hydrogen sulfide is a significant occupational health hazard. Education, personal protective equipment, and early treatment are important in improving outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Geothermal heat pumps can be considered a sustainable technology, as they reclaim and recycle thermal energy from the earth. In climates with a near balance in the annual heating and cooling loads, they function essentially as a seasonal energy storage scheme. This paper presents an overview of the technology. The various types of geothermal heat pumps are explained along with their relative merits. Detailed discussion is included on the most common method of ground coupling for commercial scale applications, the vertical borehole heat exchanger. Issues with sizing the heat exchanger and grouting it are discussed, as well as the motivation for in situ thermal properties testing. In-building equipment, including the heat pumps themselves, is briefly described. Experience with geothermal heat pumps to date is presented for both residential and commercial scale applications. Regional market penetration and competitiveness are also discussed for both residential and commercial scale applications. The paper concludes that the overall outlook for expanded application of geothermal heat pumps is very favorable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A field demonstration of acetate mediated biologically active zone enhancement (BAZE) for in situ reductive transformation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in groundwater was conducted at the former Nebraska Ordnance Plant (NOP). The primary objectives of the field demonstration were to assess the potential of the BAZE process to remediate the RDX-contaminated groundwater, and to quantify the capital and operation/maintenance costs associated with the use of the BAZE process for in situ treatment of RDX contamination in groundwater. The study also delineated the effects of the BAZE process on subsurface biomass, and water quality parameters (metals mobilization, total organic compound, etc.). The results of this 20-month field study demonstrated that acetate is an excellent source of carbon capable of creating reduced conditions conducive for reductive transformation of RDX in groundwater. Over the period of demonstration, the background RDX concentration of about 256 μg/L was reduced to below the U.S. EPA’s health advisory level of 2 μg/L. Besides significant reduction in RDX background concentrations, other chemical (low Eh and nitrate denitrification) and biological (biomass buildup and enrichment) changes in the subsurface validated the development of a biologically active zone after the amendment addition. A total of 2,250 kg runway deicer (∼1,493 kg acetate) was injected into the subsurface over the period of the demonstration, which translates to a stoichiometric consumption of approximately 161 g acetate/g RDX. Approximately 36,200 m3 of groundwater (∼9.27 kg RDX) were treated during the course of study at a unit cost of about $18.85/m3 groundwater treated ($73.70/g RDX destroyed). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Wind-sea generation was observed during two experiments off the coast of North Carolina. One event with offshore winds of 9–11 m s-1 directed 20° from shore normal was observed with eight directional stations recording simultaneously and spanning a fetch from 4 to 83 km. An opposing swell of 1-m height and 10-s period was also present. The wind-sea part of the wave spectrum conforms to established growth curves for significant wave height and peak period, except at inner-shelf stations where a large alongshore wind-sea component was observed. At these short fetches, the mean wave direction θm was observed to change abruptly across the wind-sea spectral peak, from alongshore at lower frequencies to downwind at higher frequencies. Waves from another event with offshore winds of 6–14 m s-1 directed 20°–30° from shore normal were observed with two instrument arrays. A significant amount of low-frequency wave energy was observed to propagate alongshore from the region where the wind was strongest. These measurements are used to assess the performance of some widely used parameterizations in wave models. The modeled transition of θm across the wind-sea spectrum is smoother than that in the observations and is reproduced very differently by different parameterizations, giving insights into the appropriate level of dissipation. Calculations with the full Boltzmann integral of quartet wave–wave interactions reveal that the discrete interaction approximation parameterization for these interactions is reasonably accurate at the peak of the wind sea but overpredicts the directional spread at high frequencies. This error is well compensated by parameterizations of the wind input source term that have a narrow directional distribution. Observations also highlight deficiencies in some parameterizations of wave dissipation processes in mixed swell–wind-sea conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In the methylated form, mercury represents a concern to public health primarily through the consumption of contaminated fish tissue. Research conducted on the methylation of mercury strongly suggests that the process is microbial in nature and facilitated principally by sulfate-reducing bacteria. This study addressed the potential for mercury methylation by varying sulfate treatments and wetland-based soil in microbial slurry reactors with available inorganic mercury. Under anoxic laboratory conditions conducive to the growth of naturally occurring sulfate-reducing bacteria in the soil, it was possible to evaluate how various sulfate additions influenced the methylation of inorganic mercury added to overlying water as well as the sequestration of dissolved copper. Treatments included sulfate amendments ranging from 25 to 500 mg/L (0.26 to 5.2 mM) above the soil’s natural sulfate level. Mercury methylation in sulfate treatments did not exceed that of the nonamended control during a 35-day incubation period. However, increases in methylmercury concentration were linked to bacterial growth and sulfate reduction. A time lag in methylation in the highest treatment correlated with an equivalent lag in bacterial growth. The decrease in dissolved copper ranged from 72.7% in the control to 99.7% in the highest sulfate treatment. It was determined that experimental systems such as these can provide some useful information but that they also have severe limitations once sulfate is depleted or if sulfate is used in excess.

AB - Surface and upper-air analyses from the ECMWF Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) dataset are used to construct a climatology of 177 Alberta clippers over 15 boreal cold seasons (October–March) from 1986/87 to 2000/01. The Alberta clipper (hereafter simply clipper) occurs most frequently during December and January and substantially less frequently during October and March. These cyclones generally move southeastward from the lee of the Canadian Rockies toward or just north of Lake Superior before progressing eastward into southeastern Canada or the northeastern United States, with less than 10% of the cases in the climatology tracking south of the Great Lakes. Characteristics of the structure and evolution of clippers during a 36-h period leading up to departure of the cyclone from the lee of the Canadian Rockies and a 60-h period after departure as the cyclone traverses central and eastern North America are examined through composite analyses. Over the course of the predeparture period, a cyclone over the Gulf of Alaska approaches the west coast of North America, and through its interaction with the mountainous terrain of western North America spawns a surface lee trough, characterized by a thermal ridge at 850 hPa, to the east of the Canadian Rockies. This thermal ridge dampens considerably as the composite clipper moves into central North America away from the immediate lee of the Canadian Rockies. The composite clipper system evolves from a lee cyclone with its nonclassical thermal structure to a more classically structured midlatitude cyclone as it moves through central and eastern North America largely as a result of rotation of the low-level thermal gradient and the increasing westward tilt with height of the composite clipper over the last 36 h of the postdeparture period. The thermal gradient rotation is dynamically linked to convergence of the along-isentrope component of the Q vector and thus to the ascent that sustains the clipper and creates some of its characteristic sensible weather elements. Such dynamical forcing is a direct consequence of the persistent westward displacement of the 500-hPa vorticity maximum with respect to the composite clipper sea level pressure minimum that characterizes the postdeparture period.

AB - We examined potential impacts of removal of timber, road construction, and military operations on a stream system at Fort Polk, Louisiana. In 1989, approximately 1,057 ha of upland pine and riparian hardwood timber were removed from the middle section of the Birds Creek watershed. In addition, roads were installed to facilitate vehicular passage during military exercises. Approximately 2.6-km of Birds Creek stream length occurred within the logged portion, which has been maintained as a cleared area since timber was harvested. During 2001-2005, we evaluated the assemblage structure of fishes and macroinvertebrates and the associated habitat at five sites in Birds Creek and five sites in an adjacent but unaffected stream, Whiskey Chitto Creek. Whatever the effects of timbering and construction, 12-yrs after the disturbance the affected sites on Birds Creek contained heterogeneous habitats that supported rich and diverse fish and macroinvertebrate assemblages, not unlike those of the other sites on Birds Creek and the adjacent control stream.

AB - A numerical model based on time-averaged continuity, momentum, and energy equations is developed to predict the mean and standard deviation of the free surface elevation and horizontal fluid velocities above and inside a porous submerged breakwater. The energy dissipation rate due to irregular breaking waves is estimated using an existing formula that is modified for intense wave breaking on the steep seaward slope of the breakwater. This computationally efficient numerical model is an extension of the existing time-averaged model which is widely used to predict irregular breaking wave transformation on impermeable beaches. The developed model is shown to predict the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the free surface elevation measured in a laboratory experiment where a submerged porous breakwater was placed on a gentle impermeable slope. The agreement for the measured horizontal velocity is marginal partly because this one-dimensional model does not predict the vertical velocity variation. This semiempirical model calibrated using the present experiment will need to be compared with additional experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Recent research has proposed the use of asphalt and tall-oil-pitch emulsions for stabilizing radioactive contamination deposited on surfaces in urban areas. The objective of this project was to investigate whether surface applied emulsions could capture airborne radioactive particulate. Laboratory experiments included wind-blown particulate capture studies using an acrylic column and particulate retainment experiments using a wind box capable of producing wind speeds of 96 km/h. A probe methodology was developed to relate particulate retainment to a tack force on the emulsion surface. Experiments were also performed to determine the potential for such emulsions to absorb particulate matter into their emulsion matrix. Tall-oil-pitch emulsions outperformed asphalt emulsions in terms of particulate retention, tack force, and the ability to absorb magnesium silicate. Both tall-oil-pitch and asphalt emulsions were capable of extracting 22–24 g m-2 of powder from particulate-laden airflow. Tall-oil-pitch emulsions were capable of retaining as much as 5–10% of magnesium silicate powder applied (i.e., retainment densities of 10–20 g m-2) even after seven days of curing and after applying 96.5 km/h(60 mph) wind. Tall-oil-pitch emulsions were able to absorb surface-applied magnesium silicate (approximately 0.1–0.2 g of magnesium silicate per 1.0 g of emulsion within three days) into their emulsion matrix, preventing the magnesium silicate from being exposed to the external environment. Initial results with these five different emulsion formulations suggested particulate capture was feasible. Future emulsion formulations (i.e., longer curing times with greater acid concentrations) should be tested to optimize this postdetonation response strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In 1996, the U.S. Congress mandated the development of a screening program for endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) using validated test systems. Subsequently, the Endocrine Disruptor Screening and Testing Advisory Committee recommended the development of a standardized amphibian assay for tier 2 testing of EDCs. For that reason, a tier 2 testing protocol using Xenopus (Silurana) tropicalis and a 30-week, flow-through exposure to the antiandrogen flutamide from stage 46 tadpoles through sexually mature adult frogs were developed and evaluated in this pilot study. The endpoints for this study included measurements of frog body lengths and weights, liver weights, ovary/egg mass weights, testicular and ovarian histopathology, plasma vitellogenin levels, and notes on any abnormalities observed at necropsy. Increasing exposure concentrations to flutamide caused significant increases in frogs with no recognizable gonadal tissue and increased body and liver weights in male frogs, whereas the body lengths and weights decreased significantly in female frogs. Important issues must be resolved before a tier 2 amphibian assay can be further developed and validated, including the establishment of baseline values in the controls for the parameters under study; the maintenance, measurement, and timing of exposure concentrations; and the development of additional biomolecular markers of effect. This study demonstrated the feasibility of conducting long-term EDC exposure studies using X. tropicalis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Current political conditions, primarily budgetary uncertainty, and the related reluctance to make funding commitments for future generations, have raised questions about the costs of conservation and environmental protection that have not previously been asked. As Federal investments are scrutinized and budgets become ever more constrained, the costs associated with environmental requirements could begin to be of greater importance and to influence decisions on Federal projects. In response to concerns about the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) spending under the Endangered Species Act (P.L. 93-205) (ESA), a limited investigation was performed to determine the accuracy of reported Corps expenditures. The investigation showed that, for particular groups of species, actual conservation costs for threatened and endangered species may be twice the amounts previously reported in the annual ESA expenditure reporting to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In light of this finding, the Corps has sought a means to provide more accurate and consistent reporting of expenditures for addressing threatened and endangered species. A Species Costs Template (template) has been developed to identify the types and magnitude of costs related to the ESA and to counteract the impediments (legal, institutional, and practical) to underreporting costs. The template will be used by the Corps for reporting ESA costs beginning with Fiscal Year 2005 (FY05) (reported in January 2006). Five broad categories of expenditures (effects determination costs, ESA protection and conservation costs, equipment costs, opportunity costs, and other species costs) are identified by the template.

AB - Cost-efficient sample designs for collection of ground data and accurate mapping of variables are required to monitor natural resources and environmental and ecological systems. In this study, a sample design and mapping method was developed by integrating stratification, model updating, and cokriging with Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery. This method is based on the spatial autocorrelation of variables and the spatial cross-correlation among them. It can lead to sample designs with variable grid spacing, where sampling distances between plots vary depending on spatial variability of the variables from location to location. This has potential cost-efficiencies in terms of sample design and mapping. This method is also applicable for mapping in the case in which no ground data can be collected in some parts of a study area because of the high cost. The method was validated in a case study in which a ground and vegetation cover factor was sampled and mapped for monitoring soil erosion. The results showed that when the sample obtained with three strata using the developed method was used for sampling and mapping the cover factor, the sampling cost was greatly decreased, although the error of the map was slightly increased compared to that without stratification; that is, the sample cost-efficiency quantified by the product of cost and error was greatly increased. The increase of cost-efficiency was more obvious when the cover factor values of the plots within the no-significant-change stratum were updated by a model developed using the previous observations instead of remeasuring them in the field.

AB - The incomplete nature of operational records generated during and preserved after the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991) has and will continue to challenge historians', medical researchers', and veterans' understanding of the conflict. This war exposed the deterioration of the U.S. Army's records management after the disestablishment of The Adjutant General's Office (TAGO) in 1986. TAGO had overseen Army records management, holding commanders accountable for their units' records and using trained personnel to manage records within units. Focusing on operational records, this paper explores the breakdown of records management during the Gulf War, discusses the presidentially mandated Gulf War Declassification Project (1995-1996), and briefly reviews current Army operational records management.

AB - American military theorists between the Civil War and World War II have garnered limited attention in military history, but they developed many ideas about the nature and practice of war. These theorists did not fixate on the writings of Carl von Clausewitz, but they were familiar with his work. But independent of Clausewitz, American military theory emphasized the Clausewitzian concept of the relationships among politics and society in preparing for and fighting wars. This article explores Clausewitz and American military theory, explains how Americans became naturally Clausewitzian, and discusses what their thinking has to do with the conduct of war.

AB - A geometrically exact shell element is developed within the finite-element, multibody dynamics-based Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System. The shell element accommodates transverse shear deformation as well as arbitrarily large displacements and rotations. The shell element is developed using an approach that allows for compatibility with other structural elements in the Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System. It is validated by comparing its predictions with benchmark problems. The two-dimensional shell and one-dimensional beam finite-element analyses are compared for three typical blade configurations of varying slenderness ratio: a swept-tip blade, a blade with discontinuous chordwise elastic axis and center-of-gravity locations, and a blade with a flex beam. The purpose is to quantify the differences between two-dimensional-shell one-dimensional-beam finite elements for modeling rotor blades. There is good agreement between the one- and two-dimensional analyses in predicting the natural frequencies of straight blades with a slenderness ratio of greater than 12.5. However, there are up to 16.5% differences in frequency predictions for a slenderness ratio of 17.5 or less and a tip sweep angle of 30 deg or higher. The differences increase with decreasing slenderness ratio and increasing tip sweep angle. For a blade with a discontinuous center-of-gravity offset, frequencies predicted using the two- and one-dimensional analyses show up to 12.5% difference and increase with the center-of-gravity offset. For a blade with discontinuous elastic axis offset, the frequencies predicted using the two analyses have good agreement. The differences are observed when both approaches calculate the structural loads (bending moments) and deformations of a blade with an elastic axis offset. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A time-spectral and adjoint-based optimization method was developed and applied to helicopter rotor design for unsteady level flight. The time-spectral method is a fast and accurate computational fluid dynamics algorithm for computing unsteady flows. It transforms the flow-governing equations into a periodic steady state by using a Fourier spectral derivative operator. An accompanying steady-state adjoint formulation was implemented in the time-spectral form of the governing equations to enable design optimization for unsteady flows. The time-spectral analysis was validated against conventional time-accurate computational fluid dynamics computation and flight test data of a UH-60A helicopter rotor during high-speed forward flight. A multidisciplinary analysis of blade structural dynamics was carried out through a comprehensive analysis coupling procedure that accounted for aeroelasticity and enforced vehicle trim. The adjoint-based design method was applied to optimize the blade shape of the UH-60A rotor. Power minimization was pursued with nonlinear constraints on the thrust and rotor drag force. The blade twist distribution, sectional airfoil shape, and outboard planform shape comprised over 100 design variables. Starting from the initial blade, the optimizer found a new design that showed improved performance. The validation results coupled with the multidisciplinary comprehensive analysis confirmed actual improvement: a 5% decrease in torque accompanied by a decrease in thrust of less than 1%.

AB - Prior to the repeal of “don't ask, don't tell” (DADT) on September 20, 2011, many observers predicted that allowing lesbian, gay and bisexual troops to serve openly would harm the military, and a group of more than 1,000 retired general and flag officers predicted that repeal could “break the All-Volunteer Force.” This study is the first scholarly effort to assess the accuracy of such predictions about the impact of DADT repeal on military readiness. We conducted our research during the half-year period starting six months after repeal and concluding at the one year mark, and we pursued ten separate research strategies including in-depth interviews, survey analysis, on-site field observations, pretest/posttest quasi experimentation, secondary source analysis, and a comprehensive review of media articles. Our goal was to maximize the likelihood of identifying evidence of damage caused by repeal, and we made vigorous efforts to collect data from repeal opponents including anti-repeal generals and admirals, activists, academic experts, service members and watchdog organizations. Our conclusion, based on all of the evidence available to us, is that DADT repeal has had no overall negative impact on military readiness or its component dimensions, including cohesion, recruitment, retention, assaults, harassment, or morale. If anything, DADT repeal appears to have enhanced the military's ability to pursue its mission. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - We present an attitude estimation method for self-guided ballistic munitions from onboard magnetometers. An adaptive feedback filter is used to remove actuator-induced magnetic disturbances whose spectrum overlaps the signal of interest. A state-augmented extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used to estimate roll rate and sensor bias from the filtered data. Experimental results demonstrate that this method is able to accurately estimate the roll without phase delay inherent in other methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Despite the fact that migraine headaches are common and debilitating, little is known about their effect on educational attainment. Using data drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we estimate the relationship between migraine headache and three outcomes: high school grade point average, the probability of graduating high school, and the probability of attending college. Our results provide evidence that migraine headache negatively impacts human capital accumulation. The relationship between migraine headache and educational attainment is explained, in part, through its effect on school absences and the respondent's self-reported ability to pay attention in class and complete homework. "Only if you've had a severe migraine can you appreciate how devastating this is to the life and composure of the victim." Dr. Seymour Diamond, Executive Chairman of the National Headache Foundation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sheets have gained popularity as a viable strengthening technique for existing reinforced concrete structures. The efficiency of the strengthening system largely depends on adequate bond between FRP sheets and the concrete substrate. In recent years, techniques to anchor FRP sheets have been proposed in applications that have limited distance to develop FRP sheet strength. One promising technique consists of fabricating and bonding FRP anchors during the FRP sheet saturation and embedding them into predrilled holes in the concrete substrate. This paper presents experimental results highlighting the complex behavior between FRP sheets and anchors. The primary failure modes that the sheet-anchor system can experience are identified. The experiments identify the main variables that influence the FRP anchor-sheet system behavior. This research contributes to the needed experimental database that will aid in future development of design recommendations of this anchorage system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Leaders continuously seek to improve organizational performance and enhance work group effectiveness to drive competitiveness and curtail the cost of employee turnover. The diversity of many work groups in the U.S. creates potential benefits and challenges for their leaders. Using data gathered from a manufacturing facility in southeastern U.S., this study examines how Path-Goal leadership styles, diversity, work group effectiveness, and work group members' turnover intention are related. Although all three Path-Goal leadership styles demonstrated significant positive correlations with work group effectiveness, only the Supportive style showed a significant negative relationship with turnover intention. Interestingly, work group effectiveness showed no significant correlation with turnover intention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - As military conflicts around the world persist, a comprehensive approach in managing behavioral health issues will continue to be a key component of military healthcare. Deployed military personnel frequently exposed to trauma are well-known to be at high risk for developing behavioral health disorders, including combat stress reactions and posttraumatic stress disorder. In the U.S. Army, members of combat operational stress control (COSC) units have unique skills to assist soldiers and their families not only throughout all phases of a deployment, but also throughout a soldier's entire career. The purposes of this article are twofold, first to describe the role of COSC operations with an emphasis on interventions in a deployed environment. The second purpose is to present a case study from Operation Iraqi Freedom highlighting the efficacy of the COSC approach to meet a Soldier's behavioral health needs in a deployed environment.

AB - When using multiobjective decision analysis with an additive value/utility model, we may define local ranges of the value measures that are bounded by the set of alternatives, or we can define global ranges of the value measures that are bounded by our preferences for some future set of alternatives. Local value models use the full value space defined by the alternatives to distinguish between the alternatives. Global value models may identify new objectives and may help us develop better alternatives, but the alternatives do not usually span the full global value space. We present a mathematical transformation of a global value model's single-dimensional value functions and swing weights to a decision-focused value model using the global value, alternative scores, and transformation equations. When the transformation is appropriate, the decision-focused value model can provide useful distinctions to better communicate the trade-offs between alternatives. We prove that the transformation preserves the rank ordering of the alternatives, and we discuss the appropriate conditions for use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It examines the origin and evolution of the doctrine which can be traced back to 1803 with the defining opinion of Chief Justice John Marshall in the case Marbury v. Madison. The cases Saleh and Ibrahim filed by former Iraqi detainees against contract interrogators and interpreters are said to be an example of the difficulty in applying the doctrine.

AB - This article documents the attitudes—especially those of loyalty—among Gulag prisoners and returnees toward the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), and seeks to ascertain how their incarceration subsequently influenced those sentiments. It is paradoxical that some prisoners—many of whom were falsely convicted—endured gruelling, barely survivable, lengthy terms of labour camp and prison and emerged maintaining their loyalty toward the system of government that was responsible for their imprisonment. With the materials that have become available, we can now begin to understand this phenomenon. Explanations include the 'traumatic bond' (Stockholm Syndrome), communism (the Party) as a surrogate for institutionalised religion, cognitive dissonance and functionalism. This issue may offer insight into the larger question of how repressive regimes are maintained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this issue of Dermatology Nursing, we are fortunate to have an article written by a nursing expert in the areas of tobacco use, addiction, and abstinence. Dr. Lewis provides an overview of the prevalence of tobacco use and the risks of exposure to tobacco and second-hand smoke for both adults and adolescents. He explains the challenges surrounding smoking cessation and encourages abstinence, starting at the grade school level. He concludes by emphasizing that nurses can provide a vital role in addressing this continued public health crisis. Additionally, Web sites that contain valuable information regarding smoking are included. A future article in Dermatology Nursing will focus on tobacco cessation programs, new national guidelines, and policy implications.

AB - In this study, we simulated a generic mounted crew station environment and conducted an experiment to examine the workload and performance of the combined position of gunner and robotics operator. Results showed that participants'gunnery task performances degraded significantly when he had to concurrently monitor, manage, or teleoperate an unmanned ground vehicle compared to the gunnery single task condition. For the robotics tasks, participants had the lowest performance when using the semi-autonomous robot, indicating overreliance on the aided target recognition capabilities available when task load was heavy (i.e., concurrent performance of the gunnery task). Participants' perceived workload increased consistently as the concurrent task conditions became more challenging. Individual difference factors such as spatial ability and perceived attentional control were found to correlate significantly with some of the performance measures. Implications for military personnel selection were discussed.

AB - The ability to filter distracting information and selectively attend to relevant information is critical to effective performance on the battlefield. In addition to the cognitive processing burden imposed upon modern warfighters, the effects of stress upon cognition and action must also be accounted for in evaluating individual warfighting capabilities. The current study examines the relationship between stress and cognition by measuring performance on a multiple object tracking (MOT) task after exposure to stress-inducing photographs. Postexposure performance revealed significant decrements in MOT accuracy relative to a nonstressed control group. Implications are discussed regarding the impact of stress on attentional selection for operational scenarios where it is difficult to distinguish friendly individuals from those with hostile intentions, as well as for the development of technology for command, control, communications (computers), and intelligence (C4I) systems.

AB - Monitoring digital displays for changes will be an increasing part of a soldier's duties as the U.S. Army transforms to a networked system of systems; however, it is well established that humans often fail to detect such changes in contexts with competing demands on attention. Interventions that enhance visual attention might also enhance change detection, because focused attention has been identified as a requirement for change detection. Given current claims that habitual experience with action video games can increase attentional resources, we investigated whether such experience would lessen the incidence of change blindness in two change detection tasks. Although we replicated a previously demonstrated difference between players and nonplayers on the flanker-compatibility test (Green & Bavelier, 2003), we failed to find evidence that habitual action video game players were superior to nonplayers when it came to change detection.

N2 - A suspected case of sexual transmission from a male survivor of Ebola virus disease (EVD) to his female partner (the patient in this report) occurred in Liberia in March 2015. Ebola virus (EBOV) genomes assembled from blood samples from the patient and a semen sample from the survivor were consistent with direct transmission. The genomes shared three substitutions that were absent from all other Western African EBOV sequences and that were distinct from the last documented transmission chain in Liberia before this case. Combined with epidemiologic data, the genomic analysis provides evidence of sexual transmission of EBOV and evidence of the persistence of infective EBOV in semen for 179 days or more after the onset of EVD.

N2 - Background: Francisella tularensis is a select bio-threat agent and one of the most virulent intracellular pathogens known, requiring just a few organisms to establish an infection. Although several virulence factors are known, we lack an understanding of virulence factors that act through host-pathogen protein interactions to promote infection. To address these issues in the highly infectious F. tularensis subsp. tularensis Schu S4 strain, we deployed a combined in silico, in vitro, and in vivo analysis to identify virulence factors and their interactions with host proteins to characterize bacterial infection mechanisms. Results: We initially used comparative genomics and literature to identify and select a set of 49 putative and known virulence factors for analysis. Each protein was then subjected to proteome-scale yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screens with human and murine cDNA libraries to identify potential host-pathogen protein-protein interactions. Based on the bacterial protein interaction profile with both hosts, we selected seven novel putative virulence factors for mutant construction and animal validation experiments. We were able to create five transposon insertion mutants and used them in an intranasal BALB/c mouse challenge model to establish 50% lethal dose estimates. Three of these, ΔFTT0482c, ΔFTT1538c, and ΔFTT1597, showed attenuation in lethality and can thus be considered novel F. tularensis virulence factors. The analysis of the accompanying Y2H data identified intracellular protein trafficking between the early endosome to the late endosome as an important component in virulence attenuation for these virulence factors. Furthermore, we also used the Y2H data to investigate host protein binding of two known virulence factors, showing that direct protein binding was a component in the modulation of the inflammatory response via activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and in the oxidative stress response. Conclusions: Direct interactions with specific host proteins and the ability to influence interactions among host proteins are important components for F. tularensis to avoid host-cell defense mechanisms and successfully establish an infection. Although direct host-pathogen protein-protein binding is only one aspect of Francisella virulence, it is a critical component in directly manipulating and interfering with cellular processes in the host cell.

N2 - In the U.S. Army, falls have historically been among the top five causes of hospitalization and a leading cause of nonbattle injuries in military operations overseas. Objective: For safety and public health professionals, commanders, and supervisors looking to address this problem, a literature review was conducted to identify and summarize existing fall prevention strategies applicable to a working-age population. Methods: A total of nine literature databases were searched for articles published from 1970 to 2011. Article titles and abstracts were screened to select original research with an injury or noninjury outcome. Intervention studies were reviewed in detail and quality scored by 3 public health scientists. Results: The search identified over 2,200 articles. Of these, 525 met inclusion criteria and were reviewed in more detail, resulting in identification of 9 interventions. Nearly all of the identified interventions had been implemented in occupational environments. Study quality was rated and scores ranged from 4.5 to 8.0 (maximum 10 points). Conclusions: Few intervention studies were identified. Multifaceted programs showed the greatest promise for translation to military environments. Additional evaluation research is greatly needed to further efforts to address this leading military public health problem.

N2 - Centralized HIV program oversight and repeal of the Department of Defense policy "Don't Ask Don't Tell" permitted characterization of HIV transmission among soldiers assigned to a large US Army base continental United States from 2012 to 2013. An investigation of a greater than expected number of new HIV infections among soldiers was initiated to characterize transmission and identify opportunities to disrupt transmission and deliver services. All soldiers who were assigned to the base at the time of their first positive HIV test and who had their first positive HIV test in 2012 or in the first 6 months of 2013 and who had a clinical genotype available for analysis were eligible for inclusion in the investigation. All patients (n=19) were men; most were black (52%) and less than 30 years old (64%). Fifteen of the 19 patients participated in in-depth interviews. Eighty percent were men who have sex with men who reported multiple sex partners having met through social and electronic networks. All were subtype B infections. Significant knowledge gaps and barriers to accessing testing and care in the military healthcare system were identified. Most (58%) belonged to transmission networks involving other soldiers. This investigation represents an important step forward in on-going efforts to develop a comprehensive understanding of transmission networks in the Army that can inform delivery of best practices combination prevention services. The Army is developing plans to directly engage individuals in key affected populations most at risk for HIV infection to identify and address unmet needs and expand delivery and uptake of prevention services. Further investigation is underway and will determine whether these findings are generalizable to the Army.

N2 - Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) such as sarin and soman are some of the most toxic chemicals synthesized by man. They exert toxic effects by inactivating acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and bind secondary target protein. Organophosphorus compounds are hemi-substrates for enzymes of the serine hydrolase superfamily. Enzymes can be engineered by amino acid substitution into OP-hydrolyzing variants (bioscavengers) and used as therapeutics. Some enzymes associated with lipoproteins, such as human plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (pPAF-AH), are also inhibited by OPs; these proteins have largely been ignored for engineering purposes because of complex interfacial kinetics and a lack of structural data. We have expressed active human pPAF-AH in bacteria and previously solved the crystal structure of this enzyme with OP adducts. Using these structures as a guide, we created histidine mutations near the active site of pPAF-AH (F322H, W298H, L153H) in an attempt to generate novel OP-hydrolase activity. Wild-type pPAF-AH, L153H, and F322H have essentially no hydrolytic activity against the nerve agents tested. In contrast, the W298H mutant displayed novel somanase activity with a kcat of 5 min-1 and a KM of 590 µM at pH 7.5. There was no selective preference for hydrolysis of any of the four soman stereoisomers.

N2 - Objective: To assess the safety and clinical benefit of intravenous artesunate as an alternative to quinidine. Design: Retrospective case series. Setting: U.S. hospitals. Patients: 102 patients aged 1 to 72 years (90% adults; 61% men) with severe and complicated malaria. Patients received 4 weight-based doses of intravenous artesunate (2.4 mg/kg) under a treatment protocol implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between January 2007 and December 2010. At baseline, 35% had evidence of cerebral malaria, and 17% had severe hepatic impairment. Eligibility required the presence of microscopically confirmed malaria, need for intravenous treatment, and an impediment to quinidine. Measurements: Clinical and laboratory data from each patient's hospital records were abstracted retrospectively, including information from baseline through a maximum 7-day follow-up, and presented before a physician committee to evaluate safety and clinical benefit outcomes. Results: 7 patients died (mortality rate, 6.9%). The most frequent adverse events were anemia (65%) and elevated hepatic enzyme levels (49%). All deaths and most adverse events were attributed to the severity of malaria. Patients' symptoms generally improved or resolved within 3 days, and the median time to discharge from the intensive care unit was 4 days, even for patients with severe liver disease or cerebral malaria. More than 100 concomitant medications were used, with no documented drug-drug interactions. Limitation: Potential late-presenting safety issues might occur outside the 7-day follow-up. Conclusion: Artesunate was a safe and clinically beneficial alternative to quinidine.

N2 - The City of Cambridge, Massachusetts, recognizes the value of the city's urban forest in terms of air quality, lower wind speeds, esthetics, energy conservation, reduced noise pollution, habitat value, decreased runoff, and bolstering of local businesses and property values. The density, composition, and location of street and city park trees comprising the urban forest will be influenced by future climate-driven extreme weather events. In this study, we have developed an approach for assessing impacts of multiple extreme weather scenarios likely to become more frequent under climate change and subsequently influence the composition of street and park trees. This potential for loss of trees as a result of one (or more) of these climate-related extreme weather events is considered to be one indicator of the susceptibility of Cambridge's urban forest to climate-related weather events. The scenarios considered were a hurricane/tropical storm similar to tropical storm Sandy in 2012, heat stress, snow or ice loading (e.g., loss of tree limbs), Asian longhorn beetle or emerald ash borer infestations, and the cumulative effect from the addition of all these scenarios. The literature was used to assess the sensitivity of tree species to each threat and determine the anticipated loss of individuals from each species. The results are a reasonable indication of the more tolerant tree species in Cambridge and their locations. This assessment of susceptibility can inform proactive management of the urban forest.

N2 - Rosmarinic acid and Epigallocatechin gallate concentrations were studied as natural inhibitors of Maillard browning in glucose/glycine model systems, and in bakery rolls and applesauce. The concentrations of the inhibitors were varied to determine the highest level of inhibition without a pro-oxidant/browning effect. UV absorbance and gas chromatography/mass spec (GC/MS) with solid phase microextraction (SPME) sampling was used to study browning in the model systems. Hunter L*, a*, b* was used to analyze the color change results of the inhibitors on applesauce and bakery rolls. It was determined that a 1.0% solution of either antioxidant in the glucose/glycine system produced the greatest inhibition and a synergistic effect was not apparent when the two were combined. Inhibition of browning and a lack of synergy between the antioxidants were also determined in food systems consisting of applesauce and bakery rolls. GC/MS analysis of the model system revealed a high level of pyrazine formation in no-inhibitor control samples and the absence of pyrazines in inhibitor-containing samples.

N2 - Recently, global public health organizations such as Doctors without Borders (MSF), the World Health Organization (WHO), Public Health Canada, National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the U.S. government developed and deployed Field Decontamination Kits (FDKs), a novel, lightweight, compact, reusable decontamination technology to sterilize Ebola-contaminated medical devices at remote clinical sites lacking infra-structure in crisis-stricken regions of West Africa (medical waste materials are placed in bags and burned). The basis for effectuating sterilization with FDKs is chlorine dioxide (ClO2) produced from a patented invention developed by researchers at the US Army Natick Soldier RD&E Center (NSRDEC) and commercialized as a dry mixed-chemical for bacterial spore decontamination. In fact, the NSRDEC research scientists developed an ensemble of ClO2 technologies designed for different applications in decontaminating fresh produce; food contact and handling surfaces; personal protective equipment; textiles used in clothing, uniforms, tents, and shelters; graywater recycling; airplanes; surgical instruments; and hard surfaces in latrines, laundries, and deployable medical facilities. These examples demonstrate the far-reaching impact, adaptability, and versatility of these innovative technologies. We present herein the unique attributes of NSRDEC's novel decontamination technologies and a Case Study of the development of FDKs that were deployed in West Africa by international public health organizations to sterilize Ebola-contaminated medical equipment. FDKs use bacterial spores as indicators of sterility. We review the properties and structures of spores and the mechanisms of bacterial spore inactivation by ClO2. We also review mechanisms of bacterial spore inactivation by novel, emerging, and established non-thermal technologies for food preservation, such as high pressure processing, irradiation, cold plasma, and chemical sanitizers, using an array of Bacillus subtilis mutants to probe mechanisms of spore germination and inactivation. We employ techniques of high-resolution atomic force microscopy and phase contrast microscopy to examine the effects of γ-irradiation on bacterial spores of Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Bacillus atrophaeus spp. and of ClO2 on B. subtilis spores, and present in detail assays using spore bio-indicators to ensure sterility when decontaminating with ClO2.

N2 - The reuse of gray water for applications ranging from irrigation to showering is a viable means to reduce net water demand when water supplies are stressed. The objective of this study was to investigate the treatment of gray water using biologically active granular-activated carbon (GAC) and complementary technologies. Technologies were challenged individually or in combination using a synthetic gray water formulation based on NSF/ANSI Standard 350. Specific technologies included: GAC; biologically active GAC (BAC); a newly developed intermittently operated BAC (IOBAC) process; ion exchange (IX); coagulation with a cationic polymer; microfiltration; ultrafiltration (UF); and multi-barrier combinations thereof. For control of organic contaminants such as surfactants, BAC and IOBAC performed well over test periods as long as 6 months. Combinations of IOBAC treatment with coagulation pretreatment and UF post-treatment resulted in sustained chemical oxidant demand and turbidity value reductions in excess of 90 and 99.5%, respectively. Such an approach would be useful for gray water treatment for low tier applications like irrigation or toilet flushing, or as a pretreatment system upstream of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and/or advanced oxidation processes for high tier reuse applications such as showering.

N2 - Background: Members of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group, including tick-borne encephalitis virus, are responsible for at least 10,000 clinical cases of tick-borne encephalitis each year. To attempt to explain the long-term maintenance of members of this group, we followed Ornithodoros parkeri, O. sonrai, and O. tartakovskyi for >2,900 days after they had been exposed to Karshi virus, a member of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group. Methodology/Principal Findings: Ticks were exposed to Karshi virus either by allowing them to feed on viremic suckling mice or by intracoelomic inoculation. The ticks were then allowed to feed individually on suckling mice after various periods of extrinsic incubation to determine their ability to transmit virus by bite and to determine how long the ticks would remain infectious. The ticks remained efficient vectors of Karshi virus, even when tested >2,900 d after their initial exposure to virus, including those ticks exposed to Karshi virus either orally or by inoculation. Conclusions/Significance: Ornithodoros spp. ticks were able to transmit Karshi virus for >2,900 days (nearly 8 years) after a single exposure to a viremic mouse. Therefore, these ticks may serve as a long-term maintenance mechanism for Karshi virus and potentially other members of the mammalian tick-borne flavivirus group.

N2 - Promotora Nutrition Empowerment Initiative (PNEI) was developed in response to requests by 7 promotora-researchers in the Construyendo Communidades Fronterizas Mas Sanas (Building Healthier Border Communities) research and outreach program to better equip them in the Texas border colonias they serve. This effort provided a framework for evidence-based, culturally and linguistically centered nutrition education and skill-building modules. Eight educational workshops (4 hours per month) comprised of in-depth nutrition education and skill-building lessons were conducted (December 2012-July 2013). Student's paired sample t test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test compared pre- and posttest nutrition knowledge scores for each workshop; scores were significantly improved (P=.02). Medial assessment focus group analysis suggested that nutrition education workshops provided worth, impact, and empowerment. Results suggest that collaborative community efforts involving promotoras/community health workers empower and allow for greater opportunities for outreach and delivery of evidence-based community health education to hard-to-reach residents.

N2 - This report contains a description of a probable case of murine typhus diagnosed in a resident of Texas who was treated at the San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC). The 14-year-old daughter of a retired Air Force non-commissioned officer was initially evaluated in January 2015 at the Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center Urgent Care Center, Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, for fever and abdominal pain. She was managed conservatively (supportive care) but returned 3 days later with ongoing fever. During her hospitalization, serologic testing revealed negative immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titres for Rickettsia rickettsii (cause of Rocky Mountain spotted fever) and Coxiella burnetii (cause of Q fever). An initial R. typhi IgG antibody titre was positive at a 1:128 dilution by indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) in serum obtained during her hospitalization. A convalescent-phase R. typhi IgG antibody titre obtained 3 weeks later was positive at a 1:256 dilution. No serum specimen was ever tested for R. typhi IgM antibody titre.

N2 - Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) is the practice of treating the partners of patients with sexually transmitted infections by providing medications for the patient to deliver to his or her sexual partner (s) without direct clinical assessment of the partner(s). EPT is an evidence-based option that can augment existing partner management strategies. For military health care providers, questions still loom as to the pragmatic medical, legal, and ethical uncertainties of EPT use in military populations. These issues, in addition to the absence of an explicit Department of Defense EPT policy may dissuade military clinicians from fully employing EPT to prevent reinfection and inhibit additional disease transmission in their patients. To advance the notion that EPT could not only be an efficient but also a vital measure to decrease the high sexually transmitted disease burden, this report highlights existing approaches utilized by military providers to treat partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea, benefits of using EPT in military populations, and specific challenges of implementing an EPT program. This report asserts that now is the time to "push the conversation" on the use of EPT as a viable choice for military providers.

N2 - Recent work demonstrated that the Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein is an essential entry receptor for filoviruses. While previous studies focused on filovirus entry requirements of NPC1 in vitro, its roles in filovirus replication and pathogenesis in vivo remain unclear. Here, we evaluated the importance of NPC1, and its partner in cholesterol transport, NPC2, by using a mouse model of Ebolavirus (EBOV) disease. We found that, whereas wild-type mice had high viral loads and succumbed to EBOV infection, Npc1-/- mice were entirely free of viral replication and completely protected from EBOV disease. Interestingly, Npc1+/- mice transiently developed high levels of viremia, but were nevertheless substantially protected from EBOV challenge. We also found Npc2-/- mice to be fully susceptible to EBOV infection, while Npc1-/- mice treated to deplete stored lysosomal cholesterol remained completely resistant to EBOV infection. These results provide mechanistic evidence that NPC1 is directly required for EBOV infection in vivo, with little or no role for NPC1/NPC2-dependent cholesterol transport. Finally, we assessed the in vivo antiviral efficacies of three compounds known to inhibit NPC1 function or NPC1-glycoprotein binding in vitro. Two compounds reduced viral titers in vivo and provided a modest, albeit not statistically significant, degree of protection. Taken together, our results show that NPC1 is critical for replication and pathogenesis in animals and is a bona fide target for development of antifilovirus therapeutics. Additionally, our findings with Npc1+/- mice raise the possibility that individuals heterozygous for NPC1 may have a survival advantage in the face of EBOV infection. IMPORTANCE: Researchers have been searching for an essential filovirus receptor for decades, and numerous candidate receptors have been proposed. However, none of the proposed candidate receptors has proven essential in all in vitro scenarios, nor have they proven essential when evaluated using animal models. In this report, we provide the first example of a knockout mouse that is completely refractory to EBOV infection, replication, and disease. The findings detailed here provide the first critical in vivo data illustrating the absolute requirement of NPC1 for filovirus infection in mice. Our work establishes NPC1 as a legitimate target for the development of anti-EBOV therapeutics. However, the limited success of available NPC1 inhibitors to protect mice from EBOV challenge highlights the need for new molecules or approaches to target NPC1 in vivo.

N2 - The U.S. Department of Defense vaccinates personnel deployed to high-risk areas with the vaccinia virus (VACV)-based smallpox vaccine. Autoinoculations and secondary and tertiary transmissions due to VACV shedding from the vaccination site continue to occur despite education of vaccinees on the risks of such infections. The objectives of this study were to investigate, in naïve smallpox vaccinees, (a) whether the vaccination site can remain contagious after the scab separates and (b) whether the application of povidone iodine ointment (PIO) to the vaccination site inactivates VACV without affecting the immune response. These objectives were tested in 60 individuals scheduled to receive smallpox vaccine. Thirty individuals (control) did not receive PIO; 30 subjects (treatment) received PIO starting on post-vaccination day 7. Counter to current dogma, this study showed that VACV continues to shed from the vaccination site after the scab separates. Overall viral shedding levels in the PIO group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p=0.0045), and PIO significantly reduced the duration of viral shedding (median duration 14.5 days and 21 days in the PIO and control groups, respectively; p=0.0444). At least 10% of control subjects continued to shed VACV at day 28, and 3.4% continued to shed the virus at day 42. PIO reduced the proportion of subjects shedding virus from the vaccination site from day 8 until days 21-23 compared with control subjects. Groups did not differ significantly in the proportion of subjects mounting an immune response, as measured by neutralizing antibodies, IgM, IgG, and interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunospot assay. When applied to the vaccination site starting on day 7, PIO reduced viral shedding without altering the immune response. The use of PIO in addition to a semipermeable dressing may reduce the rates of autoinoculation and contact transmission originating from the vaccination site in smallpox-vaccinated individuals.

N2 - Objective: To investigate injury risk associated with occupation and occupational physical demand levels among U.S. Army Soldiers. Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: Personal characteristics, physical fitness, military occupational specialty (MOS), and injury data were obtained by survey from Soldiers in an Army light infantry brigade (n=2101). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) from a multivariate analysis assessing injury risk were calculated. Results: Injury incidence for the prior 12 months was 43%. Physical fitness and behavioral factors associated with injury risk included age 21-29 (OR [age 21-29/age ≤20]=1.37, 95% CI 1.00-1.90), BMI 27.5-29.9 (high-overweight) (OR high-overweight/normal=1.62, 95% CI 1.20-2.18); BMI >29.9 (obese) (OR obese/normal=1.73, 95% CI 1.23-2.44), cigarette smoking (OR Smoker/Nonsmoker=1.34, 95% CI 1.11-1.63), and poor APFT two mile run performance (OR (Q4/Q1)=1.61, 95% CI 1.19-2.19). Higher risk of injury was associated with some MOSs (OR (Chemical, Explosives & Ammunition/Infantry)=2.82, 95% CI 1.19-6.68; OR (Armor/Infantry)=1.53, 95% CI 1.13-2.07). Conclusion: This study identified a number of potentially modifiable risk factors for injuries including: maintenance of healthy weight, improved aerobic endurance, and reduction in smoking. Results also indicate certain Army occupations may be at higher risk of injury. Further investigation into reasons for their higher risk is warranted.

N2 - Previous reports indicate that the majority of U.S. Army soldiers consume dietary supplements (DSs) >1 time/wk. However, these studies did not evaluate phytonutrient supplementation. A growing literature suggests inclusion of phytonutrients in DSs may pose a risk for toxicity, which could impact the performance of soldier duties, as well as long-term health and wellness. This study was conducted to assess and understand soldiers' motivations to consume phytonutrient-containing DSs, specifically genistein, quercetin, and resveratrol. The study was a cross-sectional, descriptive mixed-methods design using a survey and semistructured interviews. There were 436 soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington who completed the survey, from which 36 soldiers completed an interview. Overall, 34% of soldiers reported taking a single or multicomponent phytonutrient DS >1 time/wk, from which 41 soldiers took >1 supplement/wk. Soldiers' reasons for use included unsure (54%), weight loss (12%), and other, unspecified (24%). The majority of interviewees did not consume DSs based on inclusion of genistein, quercetin, or resveratrol. The majority of soldiers, in our study, appear unable to rationalize their phytonutrient DS choices. Findings from this study illuminate the need for future research to further explore DS practices within military populations and encourage informed use of DSs.

N2 - Two small molecular weight inhibitors, compounds CB7969312 and CB7967495, that displayed inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A in a previous study, were evaluated for inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin serotypes B, C, E, and F. The small molecular weight inhibitors were assessed by molecular modeling, UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay; and an ex vivo assay, the mouse phrenic nerve - hemidiaphragm assay (MPNHDA). While both compounds were inhibitors of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) serotypes B, C, and F in the MPNHDA, compound CB7969312 was effective at lower molar concentrations than compound CB7967495. However, compound CB7967495 was significantly more effective at preventing BoNTE intoxication than compound CB7969312. In the UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay, CB7969312 was also more effective against LcC. Both compounds inhibited BoNTE, but not BoNTF, LcE, or LcF in the UPLC-based peptide cleavage assay. Molecular modeling studies predicted that both compounds would be effective inhibitors of BoNTs B, C, E, and F. But CB7967495 was predicted to be a more effective inhibitor of the four serotypes (B, C, E, and F) than CB7969312. This is the first report of a small molecular weight compound that inhibits serotypes B, C, E, and F in the ex vivo assay.

N2 - Interactions between dietary protein and energy balance on the regulation of human skeletal muscle protein turnover are not well described. A dietary protein intake above the recommended dietary allowance during energy balance typically enhances nitrogen retention and up-regulates muscle protein synthesis, which in turn may promote positive protein balance and skeletal muscle accretion. Recent studies show that during energy deficit, muscle protein synthesis is down-regulated with concomitant increases in ubiquitin proteasome-mediated muscle proteolysis and nitrogen excretion, reflecting the loss of skeletal muscle mass. However, consuming high-protein diets (1.6-2.4 g/kg per day), or high-quality, protein-based meals (15-30 g whey) during energy deficit attenuates intracellular proteolysis, restores muscle protein synthesis, and mitigates skeletal muscle loss. These findings are particularly important for physically active, normal-weight individuals because attenuating the extent to which skeletal muscle mass is lost during energy deficit could prevent decrements in performance, reduce injury risk, and facilitate recovery. This article reviews the relationship between energy status, protein intake, and muscle protein turnover, and explores future research directives designed to protect skeletal muscle mass in physically active, normal-weight adults.

N2 - The predominant human-biting tick throughout the southeastern United States is Amblyomma americanum. Its ability to transmit pathogens causing Lyme disease-like illnesses is a subject of ongoing controversy. Results of previous testing by the Department of Defense Human Tick Test Kit Program and other laboratories indicated that it is highly unlikely that A. americanum transmits any pathogen that causes Lyme disease. In contrast, a recent publication by Clark and colleagues (K. L. Clark, B. Leydet, and S. Hartman, Int. J. Med. Sci. 10:915-931, 2013) reported detection of Lyme group Borrelia in A. americanum using a nested-flagellin-gene PCR. We evaluated this assay by using it and other assays to test 1,097 A. americanum ticks collected from humans. Using the Clark assay, in most samples we observed nonspecific amplification and nonrepeatability of results on subsequent testing of samples. Lack of reaction specificity and repeatability is consistent with mispriming, likely due to high primer concentrations and low annealing temperatures in this protocol. In six suspect-positive samples, Borrelia lonestari was identified by sequencing of an independent gene region; this is not a Lyme group spirochete and is not considered zoonotic. B. burgdorferi was weakly amplified from one pool using some assays, but not others, and attempts to sequence the amplicon of this pool failed, as did attempts to amplify and sequence B. burgdorferi from the five individual samples comprising this pool. Therefore, B. burgdorferi was not confirmed in any sample. Our results do not support the hypothesis that A. americanum ticks are a vector for Lyme group Borrelia infections.

N2 - Ebola viruses (EBOV) cause severe disease in humans and nonhuman primates with high mortality rates and continue to emerge in new geographic locations, including several countries in West Africa, the site of a large ongoing outbreak. Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) are synthetic antisense molecules that are able to target mRNAs in a sequence-specific fashion and suppress translation through steric hindrance. We previously showed that the use of PMOs targeting a combination of VP35 and VP24 protected rhesus monkeys from lethal EBOV infection. Surprisingly, the present study revealed that a PMOplus compound targeting VP24 alone was sufficient to confer protection from lethal EBOV infection but that a PMOplus targeting VP35 alone resulted in no protection. This study further substantiates recent data demonstrating that VP24 may be a key virulence factor encoded by EBOV and suggests that VP24 is a promising target for the development of effective anti-EBOV countermeasures.

N2 - Tularemia is a zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis, which is transmitted to humans most commonly by contact with infected animals, tick bites, or inhalation of aerosolized bacteria. F. tularensis is highly infectious via the aerosol route; inhalation of as few as 10-50 organisms can cause pneumonic tularemia. Left untreated, the pneumonic form has more than >30% case-fatality rate but with early antibiotic intervention can be reduced to 3%. This study compared tularemia disease progression across three species of nonhuman primates [African green monkey (AGM), cynomolgus macaque (CM), and rhesus macaque (RM)] following aerosolized F. tularensis Schu S4 exposure. Groups of the animals exposed to various challenge doses were observed for clinical signs of infection and blood samples were analyzed to characterize the disease pathogenesis. Whereas the AGMs and CMs succumbed to disease following challenge doses of 40 and 32 colony forming units (CFU), respectively, the RM lethal dose was 276,667 CFU. Following all challenge doses that caused disease, the NHPs experienced weight loss, bacteremia, fever as early as 4 days post exposure, and tissue burden. Necrotizing-to-pyogranulomatous lesions were observed most commonly in the lung, lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. Overall, the CM model consistently manifested pathological responses similar to those resulting from inhalation of F. tularensis in humans and thereby most closely emulates human tularemia disease. The RM model displayed a higher tolerance to infection and survived exposures of up to 15,593 CFU of aerosolized F. tularensis.

N2 - Burkholderia mallei, the causative agent of glanders, is a CDC Tier 1 Select Agent for which there is no preventive vaccine and antibiotic therapy is difficult. In this study, we show that a combination of vaccination using killed cellular vaccine and therapy using moxifloxacin, azithromycin, or sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim can protect BALB/c mice from lethal infection even when given 5 days after infectious challenge. Vaccination only, or antibiotic therapy only, was not efficacious. Although antibiotics evaluated experimentally can protect when given before or 1 day after challenge, this time course is not realistic in the cases of natural infection or biological attack, when the patient seeks treatment after symptoms develop or after a biological attack has been confirmed and the agent has been identified. Antibiotics can be efficacious after a prolonged interval between exposure and treatment, but only if the animals were previously vaccinated.

N2 - In vitro susceptibilities to 45 antibiotics were determined for 30 genetically and geographically diverse strains of Yersinia pestis by the broth microdilution method at two temperatures, 28°C and 35°C, following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) methods. The Y. pestis strains demonstrated susceptibility to aminoglycosides, quinolones, tetracyclines, β-lactams, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. Only a 1-well shift was observed for the majority of antibiotics between the two temperatures. Establishing and comparing antibiotic susceptibilities of a diverse but specific set of Y. pestis strains by standardized methods and establishing population ranges and MIC50 and MIC90 values provide reference information for assessing new antibiotic agents and also provide a baseline for use in monitoring any future emergence of resistance.

N2 - Dredging to maintain navigable waterways is important for supporting trade and economic sustainability. Dredged sediments are removed from the waterways and then must be managed in a way that meets regulatory standards and properly balances management costs and risks. Selection of a best management alternative often results in stakeholder conflict regarding tradeoffs between local environmental impacts associated with less expensive alternatives (e.g., open water placement), more expensive measures that require sediment disposal in constructed facilities far away (e.g., landfills), or beneficial uses that may be perceived as risky (e.g., beach nourishment or island creation). Current sediment-placement decisions often focus on local and immediate environmental effects from the sediment itself, ignoring a variety of distributed and long-term effects from transportation and placement activities. These extended effects have implications for climate change, resource consumption, and environmental and human health, which may be meaningful topics for many stakeholders not currently considered. Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a systematic and quantitative method for accounting for this wider range of impacts and benefits across all sediment management project stages and time horizons. This paper applies a cradle-to-use LCA to dredged-sediment placement through a comparative analysis of potential upland, open water, and containment-island placement alternatives in the Long Island Sound region of NY/CT. Results suggest that, in cases dealing with uncontaminated sediments, upland placement may be the most environmentally burdensome alternative, per ton-kilometer of placed material, due to the emissions associated with diesel fuel combustion and electricity production and consumption required for the extra handling and transportation. These results can be traded-off with the ecosystem impacts of the sediments themselves in a decision-making framework.

N2 - The prevalence of a genetic polymorphism(s) at codon 268 in the cytochrome b gene, which is associated with failure of atovaquone-proguanil treatment, was analyzed in 227 Plasmodium falciparum parasites from western Kenya. The prevalence of the wild-type allele was 63%, and that of the Y268S (denoting a Y-to-S change at position 268) mutant allele was 2%. There were no pure Y268C or Y268N mutant alleles, only mixtures of a mutant allele(s) with the wild type. There was a correlation between parasite 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) and parasite genetic polymorphism; mutant alleles had higher IC50s than the wild type.

N2 - Klebsiella pneumoniae, a Gram-negative bacterium, is normally associated with pneumonia in patients with weakened immune systems. However, it is also a prevalent nosocomial infectious agent that can be found in infected surgical sites and combat wounds. Many of these clinical strains display multidrug resistance. We have worked with a clinical strain of K. pneumoniae that was initially isolated from a wound of an injured soldier. This strain demonstrated resistance to many commonly used antibiotics but sensitivity to carbapenems. This isolate was capable of forming biofilms in vitro, contributing to its increased antibiotic resistance and impaired clearance. We were interested in determining how sublethal concentrations of carbapenem treatment specifically affect K. pneumoniae biofilms both in morphology and in genomic expression. Scanning electron microscopy showed striking morphological differences between untreated and treated biofilms, including rounding, blebbing, and dimpling of treated cells. Comparative transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology identified a large number of open reading frames (ORFs) differentially regulated in response to carbapenem treatment at 2 and 24 h. ORFs upregulated with carbapenem treatment included genes involved in resistance, as well as those coding for antiporters and autoinducers. ORFs downregulated included those coding for metal transporters, membrane biosynthesis proteins, and motility proteins. Quantitative real-time PCR validated the general trend of some of these differentially regulated ORFs. Treatment of K. pneumoniae biofilms with sublethal concentrations of carbapenems induced a wide range of phenotypic and gene expression changes. This study reveals some of the mechanisms underlying how sublethal amounts of carbapenems could affect the overall fitness and pathogenic potential of K. pneumoniae biofilm cells.

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

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

AB - Despite significant media and policy attention to the financial conditions of military and civilian households in American over the past few years, little is known about their relative standing and decision making. Using data from large national surveys, this analysis provides descriptive evidence on key differences for comparable young, low‐moderate income and education military and civilian respondents. I find that military members have more types of savings accounts, more problematic credit card behaviors, and equivalent use of alternative financial services. I briefly discuss directions for future research and some policy implications. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - Recent advances in electroencephalographic (EEG) acquisition allow for recordings using wet and dry sensors during whole-body motion. The large variety of commercially available EEG systems contrasts with the lack of established methods for objectively describing their performance during whole-body motion. Therefore, the aim of this study was to introduce methods for benchmarking the suitability of new EEG technologies for that context. Subjects performed an auditory oddball task using three different EEG systems (Biosemi wet—BSM, Cognionics Wet—Cwet, Conionics Dry—Cdry). Nine subjects performed the oddball task while seated and walking on a treadmill. We calculated EEG epoch rejection rate, pre-stimulus noise (PSN), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and EEG amplitude variance across the P300 event window (CVERP) from a subset of 12 channels common to all systems. We also calculated test-retest reliability and the subject’s level of comfort while using each system. Our results showed that using the traditional 75 µV rejection threshold BSM and Cwet epoch rejection rates are ∼25% and ∼47% in the seated and walking conditions respectively. However, this threshold rejects ∼63% of epochs for Cdry in the seated condition and excludes 100% of epochs for the majority of subjects during walking. BSM showed predominantly no statistical differences between seated and walking condition for all metrics, whereas Cwet showed increases in PSN and CVERP, as well as reduced SNR in the walking condition. Data quality from Cdry in seated conditions were predominantly inferior in comparison to the wet systems. Test-retest reliability was mostly moderate/good for these variables, especially in seated conditions. In addition, subjects felt less discomfort and were motivated for longer recording periods while using wet EEG systems in comparison to the dry system. The proposed method was successful in identifying differences across systems that are mostly caused by motion-related artifacts and usability issues. We conclude that the extraction of the selected metrics from an auditory oddball paradigm may be used as a benchmark method for testing the performance of different EEG systems in mobile conditions. Moreover dry EEG systems may need substantial improvements to meet the quality standards of wet electrodes. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - A study was performed to determine average inhaled carbon dioxide (F(I)CO2) concentrations of multiple respirators using unmanned test methods, and to compare results among test procedures to determine whether they could be used interchangeably. Respirator experiments were performed according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (NF(I)CO2), standard European (ENF(I)CO2), and a modified method of the European test (BF(I)CO2) using full-facepiece air-purifying respirators and one air-purifying escape respirator. Bland-Altman statistics for determination of limits of agreement were applied to assess agreement among the various test methods. A considerable lack of agreement was found between NF(I)CO2 and ENF(I)CO2 methods and between BF(I)CO2 and NF(I)CO2 methods for average F(I)CO2. The modified EN136 method produced F(I)CO2 averages about 0.13% to 0.23% above unmodified EN136 values, but the agreement between methods was generally acceptable. These results demonstrate that NIOSH and European unmanned test methods for determining respirator average F(I)CO2 concentrations produce different results for like respirators. However, the findings suggest that the ENF(I)CO2 and BF(I)CO2 unmanned methods could be used interchangeably for quantifying respirator F(I)CO2 concentrations.

They have become the most important retreat areas for threatened and endangered flora and fauna species. The abundance of species demonstrates that military land use and species protection are not mutually exclusive, but form a symbiotic relationship. Military training and the subsequent readiness of troops have highest priority.

AB - Decision-making in environmental projects is typically a complex and confusing exercise, characterized by trade-offs between socio-political, environmental, and economic impacts. Cost-benefit analyses are often used, occasionally in concert with comparative risk assessment, to choose between competing project alternatives. The selection of appropriate remedial and abatement policies for contaminated sites, land-use planning and other regulatory decision-making problems for contaminated sites involves multiple criteria such as cost, benefit, environmental impact, safety, and risk. Some of these criteria cannot easily be condensed into a monetary value, which complicates the integration problem inherent to making comparisons and trade-offs. Even if it were possible to convert criteria rankings into a common unit this approach would not always be desirable since stakeholder preferences may be lost in the process. Furthermore, environmental concerns often involve ethical and moral principles that may not be related to any economic use or value. Considerable research in the area of multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) has made available practical methods for applying scientific decision theoretical approaches to multi-criteria problems. However, these methods have not been formalized into a framework readily applicable to environmental projects dealing with contaminated and disturbed sites where risk assessment and stakeholder participation are of crucial concern. This paper presents a review of available literature on the application of MCDA in environmental projects. Based on this review, the paper develops a decision analytic framework specifically tailored to deal with decision making at contaminated sites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article offers information on a skull that was discovered in 1876 on Morris Island, South Carolina. It belonged to a man of African descent, most likely a soldier of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteers. From the size of the wound, and what appears to be remains of a projectile, it can be surmised that a canister ball had hit the man.

AB - It is necessary to monitor river ice conditions at many northern locations where river ice can pose a risk. Web cameras have been used to monitor real-time ice conditions at hydropower plants, navigation reaches, or locations of ice-related flooding. This study demonstrates how Web cameras can also be used to investigate river ice processes. Hourly images taken over three winters at the confluence of the Allegheny River and Oil Creek in Oil City, Pa. were analyzed. Each image was manually reviewed and classified according to surface ice conditions: stationary ice cover, frazil ice, brash ice, or open lead formation in an ice cover. The percentage of the channel width in the image covered by each ice condition was recorded. The time series of ice data are presented along with the concurrent hydrological and meteorological data. The Web cameras were operational during the 2000–2001, 2001–2002, and 2002–2003 winter seasons and provided an effective and relatively inexpensive means of monitoring and analyzing the river ice conditions.

AB - This article was written at the request of the Secretary of Defense Task Force on DoD Nuclear Weapons Management. While this analysis suggests that certain types of terrorists can be deterred from certain types of attacks, it is less optimistic about the use of nuclear weapons in a terrorist deterrent strategy. A broad approach to deterrence may be effective against certain types of terrorist groups and attacks, making it crucially important to disaggregate the terrorist threat when setting policy. The article goes on to address two types of terrorist groups with a “global reach” that pose a serious threat to the United States: non-state actors driven by doctrines permitting catastrophic attacks and state-sponsored groups capable of carrying out catastrophic attacks. The analysis reveals a number of previously unappreciated tradeoffs and paradoxes associated with the deterrence of terrorists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Suicide missions made their modern debut in 1981. In recent years, however, they have witnessed an unprecedented increase according to several indicators, including number of attacks, number of organizations conducting these attacks, number of countries targeted, and number of victims. Existing explanations, including the occupation and outbidding theses, cannot account for the dramatic increase and spread of suicide attacks. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including analysis of a data set of 1,857 suicide attacks from December 1981 through March 2008, suggests that two interrelated factors have contributed to the "globalization of martyrdom": al-Qaida's evolution into a global terrorist actor and the growing appeal of its guiding ideology, Salafi jihad. As localized patterns of suicide missions have given way to more globalized patterns, states must rethink their counterterrorism strategies. At the same time, because Salafi jihadist groups tend to target Muslims, moderate Muslims and nonviolent Salafists must take the lead in challenging these groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A confined disposal facility (CDF) is being designed for 3.5 M m3 of contaminated sediments dredged from the Indiana Harbor Canal at East Chicago, Ind. The sediment will be placed in two cells enclosed by earthern berms about 9 m tall and cover about 36 ha. The air registration for the facility poses limits on particulate emissions; however, very little is known of the potential for particulate emissions from hydraulically placed dredged material. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to (1) determine temporal wind erodibility of the sediments; (2) estimate potential particulate emissions from wind erosion during CDF operations; and (3) simulate emission control measures that allow the CDF to comply with allowable emissions. A composite sample of Indiana Harbor sediment was placed in outdoor sediment bins at Manhattan, Kan., and variations in sediment wind erodibility parameters were determined over a 22 month period. In general, sediment erodibility increased with freeze/thaw cycling, but decreased during the summer. Next, the Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance and the Primary Consolidation, Secondary Compression and Desiccation of Dredged Fill models were used to determine periods when the CDF cell surfaces would be saturated. Finally, the Wind Erosion Prediction System model was used to estimate potential suspended particulate emissions from the CDF during unsaturated periods. Hydraulic placement of the sediments in the cells will result in a sand bed at the north end of the cells that needs to be stabilized to prevent abrasion of the downwind area. Even with the sand bed stabilized, the simulation results showed that additional erosion control would likely be needed. Snow fences, short barriers, and stabilized strips were simulated as potential erosion controls. The results showed any of these could provide adequate reductions in emissions to meet the target emission levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Every year, construction activities expose millions of acres of soil to the elements of wind, rain, and snow. This greatly increases the potential for erosion; and therefore, the need for efficient erosion and sediment control practices is a high priority. In this research, the performance of a silt fence system with tiebacks (a.k.a., “j-hooks”) was investigated to determine its effectiveness as a sediment control technology at highway construction sites over multiple rainfall events. The data presented provide a qualitative perspective showing sediment migration over time along with the occurrence or lack of failures among two silt fence systems tested. The results from this field test exhibit that silt fence tieback systems are more effective in containing eroded sediment from construction sites and also reduce the risk of silt fence system failures than traditional linear silt fence systems.

AB - The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of three psychosocial resources (social support, mattering, and self-efficacy), together and separately, on soldiers' completion of a physically challenging military program when controlling for the possible mediating effects of stress. A total of 380 male soldiers entering Special Forces Assessment and Selection Course served as subjects. Results showed that the psychosocial resources were significantly and positively related to the program completion. Expected stress and cognitive stress did not mediate this effect. Of the three psychosocial resources, only the effect of self-efficacy was statistically significant. Implications of the findings are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Videogames are emerging as an increasingly popular training tool in the military. Given this trend, it is important to investigate factors that maximize the effectiveness of this training medium. The present research analyzed the impact of trainee attributes (i.e., prior videogame experience, videogame self-efficacy, and goal orientation) on game-based training outcomes. Participants completed a game-based tactics training exercise. The training exercise used America's Army, a first-person-perspective videogame with a single-player section to introduce game-specific tasks, followed by a multiplayer section where participants form small teams to conduct collaborative missions. Prior to and after the training exercise, participants completed online questionnaires. Results suggest that the trainee attributes, as a set, had a positive impact on trainee motivation, trainee satisfaction, ease in using the training game interface, metacognitive strategies utilized during training, and time spent engaging in the training game. These findings have implications for instructors using videogames as training tools. Recommendations for future research in this area are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - To better understand the adaptive capabilities of junior Army leaders, we applied an existing nine-dimension adaptability model to critical incidents of leader behaviors. We examined interview data from two samples of U.S. Army leaders (40 combat veterans and 24 training facilitators). The adaptive behaviors performed most in combat reflected the Deals with Unpredictability and Handles Emergencies dimensions, whereas in training contexts they reflected the Leads Adaptive Teams and Solves Problems Creatively dimensions. The model represented all of the adaptive capabilities; however, the dimensions varied across the samples. To promote adaptability, the leaders recommended developing mental adaptability skills and adaptive teams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Building on earlier research that used a “capabilities/benevolence” framework to examine an “embracing change” disposition, the current investigation extended previous cadet-based findings to a sample of company- and field-grade military officers. We hypothesized that officers with a high learning orientation and a high propensity to trust others would hold a significantly more positive attitude toward change than other individuals, even when controlling for the officer's general dispositional resistance to change. As with the earlier cadet results, the findings confirmed the hypothesis for learning orientation but not for trust. Discussion focused on the utility of acquiring a better understanding of an embracing change disposition and on the value of salting individuals with high learning orientations throughout the organization. Additionally, for future research, we consider the importance of employing multiple and diverse methods when exploring the embracing change construct. Such methodological expansion will undoubtedly reduce some conceptual ambiguities associated with the current study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Over the past two decades, considerable progress has been achieved in an effort to better identify and understand the various types of organizational commitment, the foci toward which such committed bonds are directed, and the myriad outcomes associated with these bonds. This research adds to and extends such work within a military context. Specifically, we explore relations among various forms (e.g., affective, normative, and continuance) of both team- and military-focused commitment and several supervisory-rated performance criteria. Across the different criteria, team-focused commitment tended to be a stronger predictor of performance than military-oriented commitment did. However, military-oriented commitment was inversely related to supervisory ratings of soldiers' negative behaviors. We discuss the psychological mechanisms that likely drive these findings, the implications of this work, and several potentially fruitful next steps within this research domain.

AB - Monitoring digital displays for changes will be an increasing part of a soldier's duties as the U.S. Army transforms to a networked system of systems; however, it is well established that humans often fail to detect such changes in contexts with competing demands on attention. Interventions that enhance visual attention might also enhance change detection, because focused attention has been identified as a requirement for change detection. Given current claims that habitual experience with action video games can increase attentional resources, we investigated whether such experience would lessen the incidence of change blindness in two change detection tasks. Although we replicated a previously demonstrated difference between players and nonplayers on the flanker-compatibility test (Green & Bavelier, 2003), we failed to find evidence that habitual action video game players were superior to nonplayers when it came to change detection.

AB - The ability to filter distracting information and selectively attend to relevant information is critical to effective performance on the battlefield. In addition to the cognitive processing burden imposed upon modern warfighters, the effects of stress upon cognition and action must also be accounted for in evaluating individual warfighting capabilities. The current study examines the relationship between stress and cognition by measuring performance on a multiple object tracking (MOT) task after exposure to stress-inducing photographs. Postexposure performance revealed significant decrements in MOT accuracy relative to a nonstressed control group. Implications are discussed regarding the impact of stress on attentional selection for operational scenarios where it is difficult to distinguish friendly individuals from those with hostile intentions, as well as for the development of technology for command, control, communications (computers), and intelligence (C4I) systems.

AB - We obtained recommendations for a graphical user interface (GUI) design for a new medical monitoring system. Data were obtained from 26 combat-experienced medics. Volunteers were briefed on the medical monitoring system. They then completed a questionnaire on background medical treatment experience, provided drawings on how and what information should be displayed on the GUI screens for use on a personal digital assistant, and participated in focus group sessions with four to seven medics per group to obtain group consensus on what information the GUI screens should contain. Detailed displays on seven screens provide the medical and situational awareness information medics need for triage decisions and for early processing of a casualty. The created GUI screens are a combination of object-based and text-based information using a color-coded system. Medics believed the information displayed with these GUI designs would improve treatment of casualties on the battlefield. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, and leishmaniasis are a threat to military forces deployed outside of the United States. The availability of specific information on the vector-borne disease threat (e.g., presence or absence of a specific disease agent, temporal and geographic distribution of competent vectors, and vector infection rates) allows for effective implementation of appropriate measures to protect our deployed military forces. Vector diagnostics can provide critical, real-time information crucial to establishing effective vector prevention/control programs. In this article we provide an overview of current vector diagnostic capabilities, evaluate the use of vector diagnostics in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, and discuss the concept of operations under which vector diagnostics are employed.

AB - U.S. casualties have developed multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. A surveillance project to evaluate U.S. military patients for the presence of MDR pathogens from wounding through the first 30 days of care in the military healthcare system (MHS) was performed. U.S. military patients admitted to a single combat support hospital in Iraq during June-July of 2007 had screening swabs obtained for the detection of MDR bacteria and a subsequent retrospective electronic medical records review for presence of colonization or infection in the subsequent 30 days. Screening of 74 U.S. military patients in Iraq found one colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Fifty-six patients of these were screened for Acinetobacter in Germany and one found colonized. Of patients evacuated to the U.S., 9 developed infections. Carefully obtained screening cultures immediately after injury combined with look-back monitoring supports the role of nosocomial transmission. Consistent infection control strategies are needed for the entire MHS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Malaria was eradicated and the Republic of Korea (ROK) declared "malaria free" in 1979. However, in 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria, expressing both latent and nonlatent disease populations, re-emerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ), rapidly spread to civilian sectors near the DMZ, and increased exponentially in ROK military, veteran, and civilian populations through 1998. Malaria among all ROK populations decreased 5-fold from a high of 4,142 cases in 2000 to a low of 826 cases in 2004, before increasing again to 2,180 cases by 2007. Each malaria case in the ROK is reported in the metropolitan area/province where the diagnosis is made, which may be at some distance from the area where infection occurred. Therefore, it is difficult to ascertain transmission sites since approximately 60% of vivax malaria in Korea is latent with symptoms occurring >1 month to 24 months after infection. A review of case diagnosis for civilian, veteran, and military populations shows that nearly all malaria south of Gyeonggi and Gangwon Provinces is the result of veterans exposed in malaria high-risk areas along the DMZ and returning to their hometowns where they later develop malaria. Thus, malaria currently remains localized near the DMZ with limited transmission in provinces south of Seoul and has not spread throughout Korea as previously hypothesized. This report describes the reemergence of vivax malaria cases in civilian and military ROK populations and U.S. military personnel and assesses variables related to its transmission and geographic distribution.

AB - Objective: To determine whether military health care beneficiaries with low back pain (LBP) who are likely to respond successfully to spinal manipulation experience a difference in short-term clinical outcomes based on the manipulation technique that is used. Methods: Sixty patients with LBP identified as likely responders to manipulation underwent a standardized clinical examination and were randomized to receive a lumbopelvic (LP) or lumbar neutral gap (NG) manipulation technique. Outcome measures were a numeric pain rating scale and the modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire. Results: Both the LP and NG groups experienced statistically significant reductions in pain and disability at 48 hours postmanipulation. The improvements seen in each group were small because of the short follow-up. There were no statistically significant or clinically meaningful differences in pain or disability between the two groups. Conclusion: The two manipulation techniques used in this study were equally effective at reducing pain and disability when compared at 48 hours posttreatment. Clinicians may employ either technique for the treatment of LBP and can expect similar outcomes in those who satisfy the clinical prediction rule (CPR). Further research is required to determine whether differences exist at longer-term follow-up periods, after multiple treatment sessions, or in different clinical populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objectives: We compared injuries/risk factors in infantry soldiers (I), construction engineers (CE), combat artillery (CA), and Special Forces (SF) during their operational and fitness activities. Methods: Anthropometrics, ethnicity, and fitness data were collected before review of medical records. Results: Injury rates for I, CE, and CA were 4.0, 7.2, and 5.5 injuries/100 soldier-months, respectively: over 70% of them resulted from overuse. SF soldiers had an injury rate of 3.5 injuries/100 soldier-months, 50% of them reported as traumatic. Average limited-duty days (LDDs) were threefold higher in SF. Smoking, BMI ≥25, and APFT run time for 3.2 km >14 minutes were risk factors in I. Caucasian ethnicity, height <170.2 cm, weight ≥90 kg, and BMI ≥25 were risk factors in CE and CA. Age >27 years old was a risk factor in SF. Conclusions: Greater emphasis should be placed on risk factor identification and testing strategies to reduce injuries among SF and other troops.

AB - The Uniformed Services University hosted a conference in July 2008 entitled "Warfighter Nutrition: Advanced Technologies and Opportunities" with Health Affairs and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop strategic and tactical plans that could enhance Force Health Protection (FHP) by optimizing warfighter nutrition within the Department of Defense (DoD). The conference focused on three aspects of military nutrition: (1) fueling the forces, or garrison feeding; (2) performance optimization or operational feeding during deployment: and (3) nutritional interventions to support health reset and healing. Presentations by speakers addressed practical interventions (i.e., ready for implementation now) and advanced technologies (i.e., approaches meriting prioritized research and development efforts to transition into application). The conference concluded that nutritional optimization represents an integral and proactive approach to prevent illness, injury, and performance degradation throughout all phases of military service. The overarching consensus achieved was that warfighter nutrition, as a cornerstone of FHP, warrants the critical attention of both medical and line leadership to move quickly to support current initiatives and future advanced technologies.

AB - Eating disorders are a particular problem for college students, as well as college athletes and military personnel. We examined the incidence, prevalence, and risk of eating disorders at the United States Military Academy (USMA) over a 7-year period (total population 12,731 cadets). The incidence per year for females was 0.02% for anorexia, 0.17% for bulimia, and 0.17% for eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) and for makes was 0.0% for anorexia. 0.003% for bulimia, and 0.02% for eating disorders not otherwise specified. The total prevalence of diagnosed eating disorders for females was 5% and for males was 0.1%. For females over the 7-year period, we found a prevalence of 0.2% for anorexia. 1.2% for bulimia, 1.2% lot eating disorders not otherwise specified, and for males we found a prevalence of 0.0% for anorexia. 0.02% for bulimia, and 0.03% for eating disorders not otherwise specified. Nineteen percent of females and 2% of males scored a 20 or higher on the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT)-26 survey indicating they were at risk for developing an eating disorder. We conclude that the prevalence of eating disorders at USMA is comparable to civilian colleges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Mental health symptoms in military populations are rising and constitute a significant health concern. This study examined the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in soldiers (N = 3,792) undergoing combat medic training. At the start of training, 10.4%, 15.5%, and 4.1% of soldiers had clinically significant depression, anxiety, or suicidal ideation, respectfully. These percentages increased to 12.2%, 20.3%, and 5.7% at completion of training, respectfully. Worsening of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation occurred for 7.7%, 11.4%, and 4% of soldiers. Higher percentages of symptoms were associated with females, lower education, and lower income. Active duty personnel were more likely to worsen following training with respect to suicidal ideation (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.2-2.9) compared to reservists. The identification of these significant predictors of mental health status may serve to identify individuals at risk. Additional work to examine the relative contribution of anticipatory (impending deployment) factors vs. training-related factors is warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Amblyomma americanum is an aggressive human-biting tick that transmits several known human pathogens and is associated with a Lyme disease-like illness of unknown etiology. To determine the frequency, distinguishing clinical characteristics, and etiology of A. americanum-associated illness and identify associated risk factors, a protective study of adult tick-bite victims was conducted at Fort Campbell from 2005-2007. Forty-two participants submitted ticks, none of which contained Borrelia lonestari or B. burgdorferi DNA. Thirty-three participants completed a follow-up health survey; 14 reported at least one symptom: two had erythema migrans-like rash; eight sought medical evaluation for their symptoms. Findings suggest that a variety of symptoms are temporally associated with tick bite but data provide no clear evidence that reported symptoms were caused by an infectious process. Removing a tick by hand or being bitten on a limb may be a risk factor for illness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Malaria is a significant health threat to U.S. combat forces that are deployed to malaria-endemic regions. From 1979. when the Republic of Korea (ROK) was declared malaria free, malaria did not present a health threat to U.S. forces deployed in Korea until the early 1990s, In 1993, a temperate strain of vivax malaria expressing both latent (long prepatent incubation periods of usually 6-18 months after infection) and nonlatent (short prepatent incubation periods <30 days after infection) disease reemerged near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) and once again presented a primary health threat to U.S. military populations in the ROK. Following its reemergence, malaria rates increased dramatically through 1998 and accounted for >44% of all malaria cases among U.S. Army soldiers from 1997 to 2002. More than 60% of all Korean-acquired malaria among U.S. soldiers was identified as latent malaria. Nearly 80% of all latent malaria attributed to exposure in Korea was diagnosed in the U.S. or other countries where soldiers were deployed, These data illustrate the requirement for a comprehensive malaria education program, especially for those soldiers residing or training in malaria high-risk areas, to inform soldiers and providers of the risk of developing malaria after leaving Korea.

AB - This retrospective study was conducted to assess the nature and causes of serious oral-facial illnesses and injuries among U.S. Army personnel deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in 2005. Information for this study came from the U.S. Air Force Transportation Regulating and Command and Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES) database for medical evacuations (MEDEVACS) for 2005. The study found 171 oral-facial MEDEVACS out of Iraq (cumulative incidence: 13.3/10,000 soldiers per year) and 35 out of Afghanistan (cumulative incidence: 21.6/101100 soldiers per year), a total of 206 MEDEVACS. Fifty-three percent (n = 109) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for battle injuries caused by acts of war. Thirty-one percent of all oral-facial MEDEVACS (n = 64) were for diseases of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. Sixteen percent (n = 33) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were fix nonbattle injuries, primarily fractures of the face bones, for the most part because of motor vehicle accidents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The U.S. Department of Defense invested $150 M to investigate undiagnosed Gulf War Illnesses (GWI) and twice that amount in post hoe clinical management. No new disease syndrome was identified, but the research produced new understanding and awareness of important psychosocial and neurotoxicological interactions that represented a difficult and relatively untapped frontier in biomedical research, especially concerning chronic multisymptom illnesses. Some specific Gulf War issues such as effects of depleted uranium. Leishmania diagnosis and treatment, and pesticide and prophylactic drug interactions have been intensively investigated; remaining priorities for further investigation include: markers of neurologic change (e.g., neuroimaging, neuropsychological testing), interactions between psychological resilience and neurotoxicity, structure-function relationships of neurotoxins with neurodegenerative disease potential. and predictors of individual susceptibility. The primary conclusions from the program are that no specific neurotoxic chemical has been identified that explains the chronic multisymptom illness observed but wellness of service members in future deployments may be better sustained based on continuing research on preexposure health baselining, fitness and health-damaging behaviors, and stress resilience. The many scientific discoveries and accomplishments of the GWI research effort have advanced military medical science, provided a solid basis on which to build future protections against health and performance risks to the warfighter, and improved the ability to respond to future deployment health issues.

AB - The aim of this study was to assess the ability of lower limb surrogates to predict injury due to floor/foot plate impact in military vehicles during anti-vehicular land mine explosions. Testing was conducted using two loading conditions simulated to represent those conditions created in the field. The lower condition was represented by a 24-kg mass impactor with a velocity of 4.7 m/s. The higher loading condition was represented by a 37-kg mass impactor with a velocity of 8.3 m/s. Two biomechanical surrogates were evaluated using the loading conditions: 50th percentile Hybrid III foot/ankle and Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint THOR-Lx. Comparisons of the force-time response were made to established corridors. Results show a better correlation to the corridors with the THOR-Lx; however, future improvements to the THOR-Lx are recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Military paratroopers are inherently at risk for a variety of injuries when they jump, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). U.S. Army paratroopers rely on their ballistic helmets for protection against TBIs when jumping. Currently, two different helmets are available to Army paratroopers, that is, the personnel tumor system for ground troops helmet and the advanced combat helmet. This study compared the incidence of self reported, jump-related TBIs in a small sample of paratroopers (N - 585) using each type of helmet. Data were obtained from surveys of soldiers at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The overall relative risk of sustaining a TBI while jumping was 2.3 times (95% confidence interval, 1.3-4.3) higher for personnel armor system for ground troops helmet users. Most of the increase in risk was accounted for by the most-minor TBIs American Academy of Neurology grade I or 2 concussion). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - The aim of this research is to enhance game-based training applications to support educational events in the absence of live instruction. The overarching purpose of the presented study was to explore available tools for integrating intelligent tutoring communications in game-based learning platforms and to examine theory-based techniques for delivering explicit feedback in such environments. The primary tool influencing the design of this research was the open-source Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT), a modular domain-independent architecture that provides the tools and methods to author, deliver, and evaluate intelligent tutoring technologies within any instructional domain. Influenced by research surrounding social cognitive theory and cognitive load theory, the resulting experiment tested varying approaches for utilizing an Embodied Pedagogical Agent (EPA) to function as a tutor during interaction in a game-based training environment. Conditions were authored to assess the tradeoffs between embedding an EPA directly in a game, embedding an EPA in GIFT’s browser-based Tutor–User Interface (TUI), or using audio prompts alone with no social grounding. The resulting data supported the application of using an EPA embedded in GIFT’s TUI to provide explicit feedback during a game-based learning event. Analyses revealed conditions with an EPA situated in the TUI to be as effective as embedding the agent directly in the game environment. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - Cognitive skills training has been linked to greater skills, self-efficacy, and performance. Although research in a variety of organizational settings has demonstrated training efficacy, few studies have assessed cognitive skills training using rigorous, longitudinal, randomized trials with active controls. The present study examined cognitive skills training in a high-risk occupation by randomizing 48 platoons (N = 2,432 soldiers) in basic combat training to either (a) mental skills training or (b) an active comparison condition (military history). Surveys were conducted at baseline and 3 times across the 10-week course. Multilevel mixed-effects models revealed that soldiers in the mental skills training condition reported greater use of a range of cognitive skills and increased confidence relative to those in the control condition. Soldiers in the mental skills training condition also performed better on obstacle course events, rappelling, physical fitness, and initial weapons qualification scores, although effects were generally moderated by gender and previous experience. Overall, effects were small; however, given the rigor of the design, the findings clearly contribute to the broader literature by providing supporting evidence that cognitive training skills can enhance performance in occupational and sports settings. Future research should address gender and experience to determine the need for targeting such training appropriately. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - Visual search is an essential task for many lifesaving professions; airport security personnel search baggage X-ray images for dangerous items and radiologists examine radiographs for tumors. Accuracy is critical for such searches; however, there are potentially negative influences that can affect performance; for example, the displays can be cluttered and can contain multiple targets. Previous research has demonstrated that clutter can hurt search performance and a second target is less likely to be detected in a multiple-target search after a first target has been found, which raises a concern—how does clutter affect multiple-target search performance? The current study explored clutter in a multiple-target search paradigm, where there could be one or two targets present, and targets appeared in varying levels of clutter. There was a significant interaction between clutter and target number: Increasing levels of clutter did not affect single-target detection but did reduce detection of a second target. Multiple-target search accuracy is known to be sensitive to contextual influences, and the current results reveal a specific effect wherein clutter disproportionally affected multiple-target search accuracy. These results suggest that the detection and processing of a first target might enhance the masking effects of clutter around a second target.

AB - The impact of war on local wildlife can be devastating, the effects of which are often felt well beyond the terminus of the initial threat. In areas where wildlife experiences unrestricted movement through previously affected zones, residual, unexploded landmines present a significant and potentially lethal problem. Anecdotal reports of African elephants (Loxodonta africana), in a once war-torn Angola, avoiding minefields together with telemetry data suggest that the species may be able to detect concealed landmines using olfaction. Before any in-field experiments can be conducted, an elephant's olfactory capacity for the detection of the most commonly used component in landmines, trinitrotoluene (TNT), needed to be established. Using three African elephants under controlled conditions, we used operant conditioning to test whether elephants are able to detect and reliably indicate the presence of TNT using olfaction. Elephants detected and indicated TNT using olfaction at levels greater than chance, with high sensitivity and selectivity, even when in the presence of highly volatile distractor odors. Additionally, the sensitivity of detection surpasses that of TNT-detection dogs working under similar conditions, suggesting that the potential application of African elephants within the biosensor-field should not be underestimated.

AB - A good fit of model predictions to empirical data are often used as an argument for model validity. However, if the model is flexible enough to fit a large proportion of potential empirical outcomes, finding a good fit becomes less meaningful. We propose a method for estimating the proportion of potential empirical outcomes that the model can fit: Model Flexibility Analysis (MFA). MFA aids model evaluation by providing a metric for gauging the persuasiveness of a given fit. We demonstrate that MFA can be more informative than merely discounting the fit by the number of free parameters in the model, and show how the number of free parameters does not necessarily correlate with the flexibility of the model. Additionally, we contrast MFA with other flexibility assessment techniques, including Parameter Space Partitioning, Model Mimicry, Minimum Description Length, and Prior Predictive Evaluation. Finally, we provide examples of how MFA can help to inform modeling results and discuss a variety of issues relating to the use of MFA in model validation.

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

AB - Abstract: The actions of organizational leaders are important determinants of the emergence, management, and consequences of employee emotional experience. However, the nature and dimensionality of leader emotion management and the behaviors that constitute such management are largely unknown. The authors present a comprehensive, theoretically-derived model of leader emotion management which clarifies the nature of emotion management and its role in leadership. This model also delineates the knowledge and skill-based antecedents of emotion management and the consequences of such management. Specifically, we propose linkages between particular KSAOs and specific emotion management dimensions and between those dimensions and particular individual and organizational outcomes. The model is meant to serve as a framework to guide empirical efforts in investigating the nature and correlates of leader emotion management. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

However, a number of recently developed leadership models now describe leadership as a shared process. These collectivistic theories present leadership as a dynamic process in which a leader may selectively utilize the skills of followers and distribute elements of the leadership role among these followers as the situation demands. In this study, we conduct an investigation into the viability of core elements of the collectivistic theories through a historiometric analysis of events from the career of a notable leader, George C. Marshall. One hundred and two events from Marshall's career were identified from historical biographies and were then content coded and analyzed with regard to the components of a collectivistic leadership model. The results of this historiometric analysis indicated that there are key antecedents to collectivistic leadership and that the use of this form of leadership can result in positive team outcomes.

AB - This paper investigates the performance of planar inductors based on space filling curves, a family of fractals with the property of completely filling a bounded area. Fractal-based inductor design is a method for obtaining a very long trace lengths—and thus inductance densities—in 2-D space as a replacement for the serpentines currently used in one layer inductors. Because of the intricate course created by a fractal curve, these types of inductors are particularly well suited for stretchable electronics, where a tortuous path relieves mechanical stress and creates a more compliant structure. Inductors based on seven common space filling curves, all bounded within a one square millimeter area, were both simulated and measured experimentally and found to vary between 3.0 and 7.1 nH. Lower order fractals were found to give comparable performance to serpentine inductors with similar inductance density. More complicated fractals, after more than two iterations, were found to have lower inductance density than similar resistance serpentines. Mechanical simulations demonstrate a reduction in stress by a factor of 10 or more compared with the loop and serpentine designs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Defense Acquisition Workforce and defense industry professionals engaged in the acquisition decision process must have extensive knowledge of the relationship between government ownership of Technical Data Rights and the transition of technology from the Science and Technology (S&T) community into Programs of Record (PoR). For purposes of this article, the author's objective was to identify ways to increase such understanding and promote successful transition of Technical Data Rights through use of survey questionnaires that solicited feedback. This research concluded that Program Executive Officers and Program Managers were transitioning the associated Technical Data Rights along with the Advanced Technology Development products; and that DoD ownership of Technical Data Rights makes a statistical difference in the successful transition of technologies.

AB - The commercial availability of silicon-carbide (SiC) power devices began over a decade ago with the introduction of SiC diodes and has expanded in complexity the past few years to include the offering of SiC transistors and power modules. Recently, characterization of a 1200-V, 800-A all-SiC dual module designed for large-scale electric military vehicle applications has been reported. This paper expands on the previous work by presenting details and results obtained from a long-term evaluation of a similar module. The module has successfully operated in an experimental circuit at a switching frequency of 10 kHz while running vehicle load profiles for over 1000 h and exhibited little change in device characteristics. Of all measured characteristics, none had a significant unfavorable change greater than 10% from its initial value. The 1000 h of circuit operation represents 11 783 miles of use or over half of the expected lifecycle in a military vehicle traction inverter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Learning a novel environment involves integrating first-person perceptual and motoric experiences with developing knowledge about the overall structure of the surroundings. The present experiments provide insights into the parallel development of these egocentric and allocentric memories by intentionally conflicting body- and world-centered frames of reference during learning, and measuring outcomes via online and offline measures. Results of two experiments demonstrate faster learning and increased memory flexibility following route perspective reading (Experiment 1) and virtual navigation (Experiment 2) when participants begin exploring the environment on a northward (vs. any other direction) allocentric heading. We suggest that learning advantages due to aligning body-centered (left/right/forward/back) with world-centered ( NSEW) reference frames are indicative of three features of spatial memory development and representation. First, memories for egocentric and allocentric information develop in parallel during novel environment learning. Second, cognitive maps have a preferred orientation relative to world-centered coordinates. Finally, this preferred orientation corresponds to traditional orientation of physical maps (i.e., north is upward), suggesting strong associations between daily perceptual and motor experiences and the manner in which we preferentially represent spatial knowledge.

AB - This article presents the development of a pavement management system (PMS) for the town of Christiansburg, VA, and the effectiveness of pavement management applications as a decision support tool. Researchers worked with personnel from the town of Christiansburg to gather inventory data and past work history on all of the pavements within the town’s network. First, the network was defined by importing existing GIS data into commercially available PMS software. The expected pavement performance was then modeled using age data along with surface condition information gathered during a survey of the network. The surface condition, age, and performance data were all combined to develop several maintenance and rehabilitation scenarios for the pavement network. The results indicated that implementing the PMS provided a framework that significantly enhanced the ability of the municipality’s engineers to determine the optimal work types and work scenarios for long-term budgeting and planning.

AB - We consider the problem of 20 questions with noise for multiple players under the minimum entropy criterion in the setting of stochastic search, with application to target localization. Each player yields a noisy response to a binary query governed by a certain error probability. First, we propose a sequential policy for constructing questions that queries each player in sequence and refines the posterior of the target location. Second, we consider a joint policy that asks all players questions in parallel at each time instant and characterize the structure of the optimal policy for constructing the sequence of questions. This generalizes the single player probabilistic bisection method for stochastic search problems. Third, we prove an equivalence between the two schemes showing that, despite the fact that the sequential scheme has access to a more refined filtration, the joint scheme performs just as well on average. Fourth, we establish convergence rates of the mean-square error and derive error exponents. Finally, we obtain an extension to the case of unknown error probabilities. This framework provides a mathematical model for incorporating a human in the loop for active machine learning systems. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Although intuitively social science has much to contribute to strategy, this article examines the difficulty for strategists doing so. To illustrate the difficulty, the article draws on two social science theories that provided conceptual frameworks for U.S. strategy in the 1960s: deterrence/coercion theory and modernization theory. The article also draws on the cases of Project Camelot in the 1960s and the recent use of human terrain teams to illustrate the difficulty encountered by the military when it tries to use social scientists operationally.

AB - An adaptive loop transfer recovery (LTR) approach for uncertain systems using the Kalman filter-based disturbance accommodating control scheme is presented. This study shows that the full LTR property of disturbance accommodating control is invariant to system uncertainties and external disturbances acting on the system. Also presented here is an adaptive LTR scheme, where the system process noise intensity matrix is updated online to achieve full LTR. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the superiority of the approach compared to the traditional linear quadratic regulator/LTR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Nanoparticles are of concern because of widespread use, but it is unclear if metal nanoparticles cause effects directly or indirectly. We explored whether polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) cause effects through intact nanoparticles or dissolved silver. Females of the model species fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to either 4.8 μg/L of AgNO3 or 61.4 μg/L of PVP-AgNPs for 96h. Microarray analyses were used to identify impacted receptors and toxicity pathways in liver and brain tissues that were confirmed using in vitro mammalian assays. AgNO3 and PVP-AgNP exposed fish had common and distinct effects consistent with both intact nanoparticles and dissolved silver causing effects. PVP-AgNPs and AgNO3 both affected pathways involved in Na+, K+, and H+ homeostasis and oxidative stress but different neurotoxicity pathways. In vivo effects were supported by PVP-AgNP activation of five in vitro nuclear receptor assays and inhibition of ligand binding to the dopamine receptor. AgNO3 inhibited ligand binding to adrenergic receptors α1 and α2 and cannabinoid receptor CB1, but had no effect in nuclear receptor assays. PVP-AgNPs have the potential to cause effects both through intact nanoparticles and metal ions, each interacting with different initiating events. Since the in vitro and in vivo assays examined here are commonly used in human and ecological hazard screening, this work suggests that environmental health assessments should consider effects of intact nanoparticles in addition to dissolved metals.

AB - Regional change in the variability and magnitude of flooding could be a major consequence of future global climate change. Extreme floods have the capacity to rapidly transform landscapes and expose landscape vulnerabilities through highly variable spatial patterns of inundation, erosion, and deposition. We use the historic activation of the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway during the Mississippi and Ohio River Flooding of 2011 as a scientifically unique stress experiment to analyze indicators of floodplain vulnerability. We use pre- and postflood airborne Light Detection and Ranging data sets to locate erosional and depositional hotspots over the 540 km² agricultural Floodway. While riparian vegetation between the river and the main levee breach likely prevented widespread deposition, localized scour and deposition occurred near the levee breaches. Eroded gullies nearly 1 km in length were observed at a low ridge of a relict meander scar of the Mississippi River. Our flow modeling and spatial mapping analysis attributes this vulnerability to a combination of erodible soils, flow acceleration associated with legacy fluvial landforms, and a lack of woody vegetation to anchor soil and enhance flow resistance. Results from this study could guide future mitigation and adaptation measures in cases of extreme flooding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - PURPOSE: Musicians have been reported as having a high prevalence of upper-extremity musculoskeletal disorders, including carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of median and ulnar neuropathies in U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Band members at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. METHODS: Thirty-five MEDCOM Band members (30 males, 5 females) volunteered to participate. There were 33 right-handed musicians, and the mean length of time in the MEDCOM Band was 12.2 yrs (range, 1-30 yrs). Subjects completed a history form, were interviewed, and underwent a physical examination of the cervical spine and bilateral upper extremities. Nerve conduction studies of the bilateral median and ulnar nerves were performed. Electrophysiological variables served as the reference standard for median and ulnar neuropathy and included distal sensory latencies, distal motor latencies, amplitudes, conduction velocities, and comparison study latencies. RESULTS: Ten of the 35 subjects (29%) presented with abnormal electrophysiologic values suggestive of an upper extremity mononeuropathy. Nine of the subjects had abnormal median nerve electrophysiologic values at or distal to the wrist; 2 had bilateral abnormal values. One had an abnormal ulnar nerve electrophysiologic assessment at the elbow. Nine of these 10 subjects had clinical examination findings consistent with the electrophysiological findings. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of mononeuropathies in this sample of band members is similar to that found in previous research involving civilian musicians (20-36%) and far exceeds that reported in the general population. Prospective research investigating screening, examination items, and injury prevention measures in musicians appears to be warranted.

AB - PURPOSE: Sports medicine professionals commonly describe two functionally different units of the vastus medialis (VM), the VM, and the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), but the anatomical support is equivocal. The functional difference of the VMO is principle to rehabilitation programs designed to alleviate anterior knee pain, a pathology that is known to have a greater occurrence in women. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the motor units of the VM and VMO are differentially recruited and if this recruitment pattern has an effect of sex or menstrual cycle phase. METHODS: Single motor unit recordings from the VM and VMO were obtained for men and women during an isometric ramp knee extension. Eleven men were tested once. Seven women were tested during five different phases of the menstrual cycle, determined by basal body temperature mapping. The recruitment threshold and the initial firing rate at recruitment were determined from 510 motor unit recordings. RESULTS: The initial firing rate was lower in the VMO than that in the VM in women (P < 0.001) but not in men. There was no difference in recruitment thresholds for the VM and VMO in either sex or across the menstrual cycle. There was a main effect of menstrual phase on initial firing rate, showing increases from the early follicular to late luteal phase (P = 0.003). The initial firing rate in the VMO was lower than that in the VM during ovulatory (P = 0.009) and midluteal (P = 0.009) phases. CONCLUSION: The relative control of the VM and VMO changes across the menstrual cycle. This could influence patellar pathologies that have a higher incidence in women.

AB - Humans are extremely good at detecting anomalies in sensory input. For example, while listening to a piece of Western-style music, an anomalous key change or an out-of-key pitch is readily apparent, even to the non-musician. In this paper we investigate differences between musical experts and non-experts during musical anomaly detection. Specifically, we analyzed the electroencephalograms (EEG) of five expert cello players and five non-musicians while they listened to excerpts of J.S. Bach's Prelude from Cello Suite No. 1. All subjects were familiar with the piece, though experts also had extensive experience playing the piece. Subjects were told that anomalous musical events (AMEs) could occur at random within the excerpts of the piece and were told to report the number of AMEs after each excerpt. Furthermore, subjects were instructed to remain still while listening to the excerpts and their lack of movement was verified via visual and EEG monitoring. Experts had significantly better behavioral performance (i.e. correctly reporting AME counts) than non-experts, though both groups had mean accuracies greater than 80%. These group differences were also reflected in the EEG correlates of key-change detection post-stimulus, with experts showing more significant, greater magnitude, longer periods of, and earlier peaks in condition-discriminating EEG activity than novices. Using the timing of the maximum discriminating neural correlates, we performed source reconstruction and compared significant differences between cellists and non-musicians. We found significant differences that included a slightly right lateralized motor and frontal source distribution. The right lateralized motor activation is consistent with the cortical representation of the left hand - i.e. the hand a cellist would use, while playing, to generate the anomalous key-changes. In general, these results suggest that sensory anomalies detected by experts may in fact be partially a result of an embodied cognition, with a model of the action for generating the anomaly playing a role in its detection.

AB - The Y-balance test (YBT) is one of the few field expedient tests that have shown predictive validity for injury risk in an athletic population. However, analysis of the YBT in a heterogeneous population of active adults (e.g., military, specific occupations) involving multiple raters with limited experience in a mass screening setting is lacking. The primary purpose of this study was to determine interrater test-retest reliability of the YBT in a military setting using multiple raters. Sixty-four service members (53 males, 11 females) actively conducting military training volunteered to participate. Interrater test-retest reliability of the maximal reach had intraclass correlation coefficients (2,1) of 0.80 to 0.85 with a standard error of measurement ranging from 3.1 to 4.2 cm for the 3 reach directions (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral). Interrater test-retest reliability of the average reach of 3 trails had an intraclass correlation coefficients (2,3) range of 0.85 to 0.93 with an associated standard error of measurement ranging from 2.0 to 3.5cm. The YBT showed good interrater test-retest reliability with an acceptable level of measurement error among multiple raters screening active duty service members. In addition, 31.3% (n = 20 of 64) of participants exhibited an anterior reach asymmetry of >4cm, suggesting impaired balance symmetry and potentially increased risk for injury.

AB - This study aimed to merge existing methodologies of identifying high-risk soldiers to create a comprehensive testable model to assist leaders in the identification, mitigation, and prevention of negative behavioral health (BH) issues. In 2011, a total of 2,664 active duty U.S. Army soldiers completed a survey of demographic and military characteristics, combat exposures, and BH diagnoses and symptoms. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were fit to examine the relationship between demographic and military characteristics, subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, and positive screening for BH symptoms. The 'recent loss of someone close' and self-reporting a history of BH issues were the strongest and most consistent predictors of subthreshold behavioral and social health issues. This study found that individual and occupational factors were associated with subthreshold behavioral and social health issues, which were in turn, associated with screening positive for BH symptoms. The recent loss of someone close (an indicator of grief and loss) was not the study's primary research question, but warrants further investigation to determine its impact on the mental well-being of soldiers.

AB - Configuring products or environments for the size of their human users requires the consideration of several characteristics of the target user population, including body dimensions (anthropometry) and preferred interaction. Users are both adaptable and imperfect observers, which often makes it difficult for them to distinguish between candidate designs. This insensitivity is described by a concept called ‘just noticeable difference’, or JND. This paper presents an implementation of JND modelling and demonstrates how its use in the sizing of products or environments for target user populations can improve expected performance. Two facets of this problem are explored: (1) how experimental measures of JND for dimensional optimisation tasks may be obtained, and (2) how measures of JND may be included in models of user–device interaction for both adjustable and discretely sized products and the assumptions required. A case study demonstrating the collection and modelling of JND for a simple univariate problem is also presented. Practitioner Summary:Since people are adaptable and imperfect observers, there exists a ‘just noticeable difference’ that can be considered when designing products and environments. When JND is modelled for a target population, less variability in design dimensions due to physical user requirements may be necessary. This paper considers JND in quantitative simulations of population accommodation.

AB - Computer-based technologies informed by the science of learning are becoming increasingly prevalent in education and training. For the Department of Defense (DoD), this presents a great potential advantage to the effective preparation of a new generation of technologically enabled service members. Military medicine has broad education and training challenges ranging from first aid and personal protective skills for every service member to specialized combat medic training; many of these challenges can be met with gaming and simulation technologies that this new generation has embraced. However, comprehensive use of medical games and simulation to augment expert mentorship is still limited to elite medical provider training programs, but can be expected to become broadly used in the training of first responders and allied health care providers. The purpose of this supplement is to review the use of computer games and simulation to teach and assess medical knowledge and skills. This review and other DoD research policy sources will form the basis for development of a research and development road map and guidelines for use of this technology in military medicine.

AB - Heat acclimation (HA) reportedly conveys conservation in sweat micromineral concentrations when sampled from arm sweat, but time course is unknown. The observation that comprehensive cleaning of the skin surface negates sweat micromineral reductions during prolonged sweating raises the question of whether the reported HA effect is real or artifact of surface contamination. Purpose: To measure sweat mineral concentrations serially during HA and determine if surface contamination plays a role in the reported mineral reductions. Methods: Calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), and zinc (Zn) were measured in sweat obtained from 17 male volunteers using an arm bag on Day 1, 5, and 10 of a HA protocol. To study the role of contamination, sweat was simultaneously (n = 10 subjects) sampled twice daily from a cleaned site (WASH) and unclean site (NO WASH) on the scapular surface. Results: Sweat Ca, Cu, and Mg from Arm Bag trended progressively downward from Day 1 to Day 10 of HA (p = .10–0.25). Micromineral concentrations from the WASH site did not change between Day 1, 5, or 10 (Ca = 0.30 ± 0.12 mmol/L, Cu 0.41 ± 0.53 μmol/L; Zn 1.11 ± 0.80 μmol/L). Surface contamination can confound sweat mineral estimates, as sweat Ca and Cu from NO WASH site were initially higher than WASH (p < .05) but became similar to WASH when sampled serially. Conclusion: Heat acclimation does not confer reductions in sweat Ca, Cu, Mg, or Zn. When the skin surface is not cleaned, mineral residue inflates initial sweat mineral concentrations. Earlier reports of micromineral reductions during HA may have been confounded by interday cleaning variability.

AB - The physiological burden created by heat strain and physical exercise, also called thermal-work strain, was quantified for 10 male Marines (age 21.9 ± 2.3 years, height 180.3 ± 5.2 cm, and weight 85.2 ± 10.8 kg) during three dismounted missions in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Heart rate (HR) and core body temperature (Tcore) were recorded every 15 seconds (Equivital EQ-01; Hidalgo, Cambridge, United Kingdom) during periods of light, moderate, and heavy work and used to estimate metabolic rate. Meteorological measures, clothing characteristics, anthropometrics, and estimated metabolic rates were used to predict Tcore for the same missions during March (spring) and July (summer) conditions. Thermal-work strain was quantified from HR and Tcore values using the Physiological Strain Index (PSI) developed by Moran et al. July PSI and Tcore values were predicted and not observed due to lack of access to in-theater warfighters at that time. Our methods quantify and compare the predicted and observed thermal-work strain resulting from environment and worn or carried equipment and illustrate that a small increase in ambient temperature and solar load might result in increased thermal-work strain.

AB - OBJECTIVE: To examine the overall and drug-specific positive rates of Army urinalysis specimens tested from fiscal year 2001 (FY01) through FY11. METHODS: We analyzed annual Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory results from FY01 to FY11. RESULTS: From FY01 to FY11, the Army's positive rate was 1.06%. The component rates were 0.84%, 1.53%, and 1.94% for the active duty, Reserve, and National Guard, respectively. The Army's average positive rate for marijuana from FY01 to FY11 was 0.79%, and the cocaine rate was 0.26%. From FY06 to FY11, the average positive rate for oxycodone was 0.74% and the d-amphetamine rate was 0.30%. Apart from oxymorphone, a key metabolite of oxycodone, the positive rate for all other drugs tested was below 0.25%. The FY11 drug positive rates in decreasing order were oxymorphone > oxycodone > marijuana > d-amphetamine > codeine > cocaine > morphine > d-methamphetamine > methylenedioxymethamphetamine > heroin > methylenedioxyamphetamine > phencyclidine. Although the drug positive rate for heroin remains low, the number of positives has increased dramatically since FY05. CONCLUSION: The drug-testing program continues to serve as a vital deterrent as evidenced by the Army's overall positive rate being well below the 8.9% estimated illicit use in the civilian population.

AB - PURPOSE: To compare an empirical, Army doctrine-based (endurance, strength, mobility, military relevant tasks), criterion-referenced, body mass (BM) unbiased Military Optimal Performance Challenge (MOPC) to the Army's Physical Fitness Test (APFT) and thus assisting commanders to determine military readiness. METHODS: Militarily-relevant physical assessments were combined to create a composite MOPC score. The MOPC and APFT were administered to 20 male, military subjects during a 2-week period. Data collection included 3-Mile Run, Mobility Test, Upper/Lower Body Strength/Endurance, Simulated Casualty Evacuation Test. The APFT was administered through Army guidelines before MOPC data collection. RESULTS: The APFT was influenced by BM, lean body mass (LBM) (r = -0.44; r(2) = 0.20; p = 0.04), whereas MOPC was less impacted (r = 0.21; r(2) = 0.04; p = 0.32). Eight subjects, as viewed by %APFT, are 'fit for duty' (80.6%); however, all eight subjects' mean score as %MOPC was <50%. CONCLUSIONS: The MOPC offers a robust approach to military readiness and is free of the confounding influence of BM. The MOPC is a unique assessment requiring a multitude of abilities to garner success and may assist in training for functional combat performance skills demanding high work capacities.

N2 - Objective To systematically review the medical literature and comprehensively summarize clinical research done on rehabilitation with a novel portable and noninvasive electrical stimulation device called the cranial nerve noninvasive neuromodulator in patients suffering from nervous system disorders. Data Sources PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from 1966 to March 2013. Study Selection Studies were included if they recruited adult patients with peripheral and central nervous system disorders, were treated with the cranial nerve noninvasive neuromodulator device, and were assessed with objective measures of function. Data Extraction After title and abstract screening of potential articles, full texts were independently reviewed to identify articles that met inclusion criteria. Data Synthesis The search identified 12 publications: 5 were critically reviewed, and of these 5, 2 were combined in a meta-analysis. There were no randomized controlled studies identified, and the meta-analysis was based on pre-post studies. Most of the patients were individuals with a chronic balance dysfunction. The pooled results demonstrated significant improvements in the dynamic gait index postintervention with a mean difference of 3.45 (95% confidence interval, 1.75–5.15; P <.001), Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale with a mean difference of 16.65 (95% confidence interval, 7.65–25.47; P <.001), and Dizziness Handicap Inventory with improvements of −26.07 (95% confidence interval, −35.78 to −16.35; P <.001). Included studies suffered from small sample sizes, lack of randomization, absence of blinding, use of referral populations, and variability in treatment schedules and follow-up rates. Conclusions Given these limitations, the results of the meta-analysis must be interpreted cautiously. Further investigation using rigorous randomized controlled trials is needed to evaluate this promising rehabilitation tool for nervous system disorders. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - The author discusses research that investigates associations between serum sex steroid hormones and risk of prostate cancer. The research measured serum estrone, estradiol and 13 estrogen metabolites in hydroxylation pathways using an liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) assay, used logistic regression models to estimate confidence intervals and result showed that risk of aggressive prostate cancer was inversely associated with estradiol-testosterone ratio.

N2 - Multiorgan failure is a catastrophic consequence of heat stroke (HS) and considered the underlying etiology of mortality. Identifying novel biomarkers capable of predicting the extent of HS-induced organ damage will enhance point-of-care triage and treatment. Conscious male F344 rats (n = 32) were radiotelemetered for continuous core temperature (Tc), heart rate, and arterial pressure measurement. Twenty-two animals were exposed to ambient temperature of 37°C to a maximum Tc of 41.9 ± 0.1°C. Rats were euthanized at 24 h of recovery for analysis of plasma biomarkers [cardiac troponin I (cTnI), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, glucose] and histology. Tc profiles observed during recovery stratified HS severity into Mild, Moderate, and Severe. Eleven (50%) animals exhibited an acute compensatory hemodynamic response to heat exposure and a monophasic Tc profile consisting of sustained hyperthermia (~1°C). Five (23%) rats displayed hemodynamic challenge and a biphasic Tc profile with rapid return to baseline followed by rebound hyperthermia. All biomarkers were significantly altered from control values (P < 0.05). Four (18%) animals exhibited significant hemodynamic compromise during heat and a triphasic profile characterized by rapid cooling to baseline Tc, rebound hyperthermia, and subsequent hypothermia (~35°C) through 24 h. cTnI showed a 40-fold increase over CON (P< 0.001) and correlated with BUN (r= 0.912) consistent with cardiorenal failure. Hypoglycemia correlated with ALT (r = 0.824) suggestive of liver dysfunction. Histology demonstrated myocardial infarction, renal tubular necrosis, and acute liver necrosis. Two (9%) animals succumbed during HS recovery. This study identified novel biomarkers that predict HS severity and organ damage during acute recovery that could provide clinical significance for identifying key biomarkers of HS pathogenesis.

Since R&D funding creates jobs, it was seen to have direct impact of the national economy. However, economists claim that the link between innovation, R&D and new jobs seems to have stopped. During the financial crisis, the author observed that the administration of President Barack Obama showed the relevance of science and technology in the society, along with the historical effect of successful R&D on the society.

AB - Many environmental toxins have been shown to suppress the immune system across taxa. The foreign red blood cell (RBC) challenge is an important part of a complement of tests used to assess immunocompetence in the laboratory because it can assess an individual’s humoral response without impacting its health. This challenge is used commonly across species and measures antibody titers in response to an intraperitoneal, intravenous, or subcutaneous injection of foreign RBCs. Determination of the best appropriate foreign RBC challenge is therefore important when designing tests for evaluation of humoral responses. The northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) is a commonly used species for avian toxicity tests, however little is known about the relative sensitivities of its humoral responses to foreign erythrocytes. In this pilot study, we exposed adult quail to intravenous injections of 5% solutions of sheep, rat, rabbit, bovine, or chicken erythrocytes and performed antibody titers [hemagglutination assay for total immunoglobulin (Ig), IgG, and IgM] for primary and secondary responses. Although the bobwhites appeared to respond strongly to rat RBCs, high variability in responses were observed among individuals. Chicken RBCs elicited the poorest responses for both primary and secondary challenges. Sheep and bovine RBCs were adequate antigens for this test in bobwhites. We found that rabbit erythrocytes elicited the strongest responses with the least amount of variability between individuals. Rabbit RBCs, therefore, appear to be the ideal antigen for this test of the humoral response in this species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The article focuses on the theoretic approach for modeling ventilation phenomenon in sanitary sewer systems. It is stated that ventilation events in sewers are complex phenomena because of the unpredictable nature of the air exerting forces and the complex interaction between the system air space and the ambient surroundings. It mentioned several pressure-inducing events which include siphon, barometric and wind pressure, downstream air capacity reduction and drop-structure turbulence. It is revealed that temperature difference is important in a cold climate where ambient temperature is different from sewer air temperature.

AB - After the Battle of Saratoga (October 1777) in the American War of Independence, British leaders conducted a comprehensive reassessment of their military strategy but examined the new strategy's ways and means without considering the ends or objectives of the war. Using extensive primary sources, this article examines the reassessment process and concludes that the effort was fatally flawed because King George III and his ministers failed to reevaluate the war's objectives, given the changed strategic environment after Saratoga. The resulting British military strategy suffered from an imbalance between ends, ways, and means. Thus, British leaders incurred significant risk in executing their new strategy.

AB - During World War II, U.S. airmen circulated pernicious rumors about the motives of the hundreds of aircrews who landed in neutral countries. Although investigated and disproven by the leadership of the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF), the rumors persisted in popular memory and ultimately stigmatized the veterans who endured neutral captivity. This essay examines the motives of some airmen who landed in Switzerland, and argues that the stigma associated with neutral captivity resulted in denials of benefits and military decorations to deserving veterans.

AB - Basic combat training plays an important role in military service with approximately 72,000 soldiers participating in the United States annually. Although Drill Sergeant qualities have been widely portrayed in popular media, there is very little empirical research that documents the characteristics of Drill Sergeants and the impact these characteristics may have on trainees. In this study we evaluated a measure of perceived Drill Sergeant qualities and the degree to which these qualities related to mental health symptoms and job-related outcomes of trainees. Three types of perceived Drill Sergeant qualities were found from factor analyses: motivation, respect, and toughness. Using latent growth curve analyses, higher initial scores on motivation and respect, but not toughness, were associated with greater decreases in mental health symptoms over time. Further, changes in perceived Drill Sergeant qualities related to changes in depressive symptoms, unit cohesion, and citizen behaviors assessed over the course of basic combat training.

AB - We evaluated the efficacy of a computer-based situation awareness (SA) measurement system for training dismounted infantry SA in an urban terrain virtual reality (VR) simulation. Based on past research, we hypothesized that the SA measures would be sensitive to individual (squad leader) differences, and that the frequency of specific probes would reveal differences in critical SA requirements among scenarios. Three infantry squads performed multiple trials across two different scenarios. A confederate platoon leader posed probes to squad leaders during trials and experts made ratings afterward. Results revealed squad leaders had similar responses to probes, despite differences in combat experience. Analysis of probe frequency revealed different high priority SA elements and decisions for each scenario. The SA behavior and communication ratings revealed differences among squads, which trended with experience. Measures of SA were also consistent across the test scenario as a result of similar mission types and task difficulties. We discuss the implication of our findings for future research and theory within this area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An optimal strategy for geometric sensor placement to enhance target tracking performance is developed. Recently, a considerable amount of work has been published on optimal conditions for single-update placement of homogeneous sensors (same type and same measurement quality) in which the targets are either assumed perfectly known or the target location uncertainty is averaged out via the expected value of the determinant of the Fisher information matrix (FIM). We derive conditions for optimal placement of heterogeneous sensors based on maximization of the information matrix to be updated by the heterogeneous sensors from an arbitrary Gaussian prior characterizing the uncertainty about the initial target location. The heterogeneous sensors can be of the same or different types (ranging sensors, bearing-only sensors, or both). The sensors can also make, over several time steps, multiple independent measurements of different qualities. Placement strategies are derived and their performance is illustrated via simulation examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An investigation of the feasibility of a mesh network of proximity sensors to track targets is presented. In such a network the sensors report binary detection/nondetection measurements for the targets within proximity. A new probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter and its particle implementation for multiple-target tracking in a proximity sensor network are proposed. The performance and robustness of the new method are evaluated over simulated matching and mismatching cases for the sensor models. The simulations demonstrate the utility of the PHD filter to both track the number of targets and their locations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The channel analysis and design evaluation tool ( CADET) is a numerical program to determine the optimum dredge depth for the offshore portions of entrance channels. A brief description of the theoretical basis and risk assessment in CADET is presented. Validation comparisons between CADET predictions and field measurements of wave-induced vertical motions at Ambrose Channel, New York, are presented. Prototype ship motions were measured with a differential global positioning system in April 1998 along three 488-m-long reaches. Comparisons were made with six ships, three tankers and three containerships, during inbound and outbound transits. In general, the CADET predictions matched the field measurements reasonably well, especially considering the wave heights were relatively small during the measurement period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Lower Mississippi River protrudes into the Gulf of Mexico, and manmade levees line only the west bank for 55 km of the Lower Plaquemines section. Historically, sustained easterly winds from hurricanes have directed surge across Breton Sound, into the Mississippi River and against its west bank levee, allowing for surge to build and then propagate efficiently upriver and thus increase water levels past New Orleans. This case study applies a new and extensively validated basin- to channel-scale, high-resolution, unstructured-mesh ADvanced CIRCulation model to simulate a suite of historical and hypothetical storms under low to high river discharges. The results show that during hurricanes, (1) total water levels in the lower river south of Pointe à La Hache are only weakly dependent on river flow, and easterly wind-driven storm surge is generated on top of existing ambient strongly flow-dependent river stages, so the surge that propagates upriver reduces with increasing river flow; (2) natural levees and adjacent wetlands on the east and west banks in the Lower Plaquemines capture storm surge in the river, although not as effectively as the manmade levees on the west bank; and (3) the lowering of manmade levees along this Lower Plaquemines river section to their natural state, to allow storm surge to partially pass across the Mississippi River, will decrease storm surge upriver by 1 to 2 m between Pointe à La Hache and New Orleans, independent of river flow.

AB - The risk-based design of a reef breakwater requires the prediction of the temporal variations of the damage and wave transmission coefficient during storms. The cross-shore numerical model is extended to the landward zone of the wave transmission. The extended model is compared with 148 tests for a reef breakwater with a narrow crest at or above the still water level where the narrow crest was lowered by wave action. The model is also compared with an experiment on a wide-crested submerged breakwater in which the crest height increased during 20-h wave action. The damage, crest height, and wave transmission coefficient are predicted reasonably well; however, the damaged profile is not predicted accurately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An adaptive hydraulics (AdH) model was applied to lower Knik Arm near the Port of Anchorage, Alaska, to assess its ability to model a macrotidal system with complex hydrodynamics, including the formation and evolution of numerous gyres that are prominent at this site. Lower Knik Arm is an ideal system for this model evaluation because of the large tide range (approximately 10 m at Anchorage) and complex geometry of the system, which results in high velocities and the formation of numerous eddies throughout the study area. One eddy of primary importance is the one generated by Cairn Point, which occurs near the Port of Anchorage. Limitations of previous modeling studies and the availability of recent field data enabled this evaluation. The AdH results were compared with field data (water surface elevations, fluxes, and velocities) collected in August of 2002 and 2006, and favorable comparisons obtained for tidal amplification and eddy generation indicate that AdH reasonably reproduces the complex hydrodynamic conditions in lower Knik Arm. Simulations were also performed to investigate the importance of eddy viscosity specification, frictional specification, and bathymetry on the generation/evolution of eddies present in the system. Upon completion of the model validation, simulations were performed with modified Cairn Point configurations to investigate the impact to the eddy generated at the port. These results illustrate the variation in eddy generation through lengthening, lowering/reducing, or raising Cairn Point. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A probabilistic framework is presented for evaluation of hurricane wave and surge risk with particular emphasis on real-time automated estimation for hurricanes approaching landfall. This framework has two fundamental components. The first is the development of a surrogate model for the rapid evaluation of hurricane waves, water levels, and run-up based on a small number of parameters describing each hurricane: hurricane landfall location and heading, central pressure, forward speed, and radius of maximum winds. This surrogate model is developed using a response surface methodology fed by information from hundreds of precomputed, high-resolution Simulating Waves Nearshore ( SWAN) + Advanced Circulation Model for Oceanic, Coastal and Estuarine Waters ( ADCIRC) and One-Dimensional Boussinesq Model ( BOUSS-1D) runs. For a specific set of hurricane parameters (i.e., a specific landfalling hurricane), the surrogate model is able to evaluate the maximum wave height, water level, and run-up during the storm at a cost that is more than seven orders of magnitude less than the high-fidelity models and thus meets time constraints imposed by emergency managers and decision makers. The second component of this framework is a description of the uncertainty in the parameters used to characterize the hurricane through appropriate probability models, which then leads to quantification of hurricane risk in terms of a probabilistic integral. This integral is then efficiently computed using the already established surrogate model by analyzing thousands of different scenarios (based on the aforementioned probabilistic description). This allows the rapid computation of, for example, the storm surge that might be exceeded 10% of the time based on hurricane parameters at 48 h from landfall. Finally, by leveraging the computational simplicity and efficiency of the surrogate model, a simple stand-alone PC-based risk-assessment tool is developed that allows nonexpert end users to take advantage of the full potential of the framework. The proposed framework ultimately facilitates the development of a rapid assessment tool for real-time implementation but requires a considerable upfront computational cost to produce high-fidelity model results. As an illustrative example, implementation of hurricane risk estimation for the Island of Oahu in Hawaii is presented; results demonstrate the versatility of the proposed approach for delivering accurate tools for real-time hurricane risk estimation that have the ability to cross over technology adoption barriers.

AB - When blasts occur in urban areas, many injuries and sometimes deaths result when glass shards fly from windows fractured by airblast pressure. The use of blast-resistant glazing can mitigate the number and severity of glass-related injuries if blasts occur. In this paper, the writers present two methods to facilitate blast-resistant glazing design. One of these methods is primarily restricted to government facilities while the other exists in a consensus document for public use. Both of these methods rely on laminated glass as the blast-resistant glazing material. Both methods address all facets of blast-resistant glazing design, including attachment of the glazing to the framing members and an estimate of the forces necessary for designing framing members and connections.

AB - The pantheon of 20th century US Army generals contains many great wartime commanders. Military historians have written about their leadership qualities but have not ranked the best generals. We asked 10 experts in US military history to evaluate seven generals--Omar Bradley, Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George Marshall, George Patton, John Pershing, and Matthew Ridgway--using the analytic hierarchy process in a group setting. We developed a ratings hierarchy, and each participant scored each general. We combined individual pairwise comparisons using the geometric-mean method and a new method based on linear programming and obtained a clear, three-tier ranking of generals with George Marshall judged the best US Army general of the 20th century, closely followed by Dwight Eisenhower.

AB - Modern computer gaming technologies initially provided low-end capabilities for a small niche within the simulation industry. However, over time they improved to the point where they became more powerful than many of the established tools in the field. This disruption is following the well-established innovation model that was put forward by Harvard professor Clayton Christensen. Game technologies provide significant advantages in industries like training, education, communication, and data analysis. The disruptive potential of these technologies will spur the growth of new types of companies and threaten the positions of established leaders in a number of industries.

AB - OVERVIEW: Financial data from 91 of the top 100 U.S. companies that invested in R&D during 2004 and 2003 were examined, including the relationship between these companies' sales, profits, growth rates, capital investments, and number of employees. This resulted in two linear equations that provide a high degree of correlation with the data and can be used to estimate R&D investment levels for companies about which that is unknown. The first of these calculates current-year R&D based on previous-year R&D, company size, and capital expenditures. The second, much simpler model, predicts current-year R&D from previous-year R&D. This simpler model may be driven by the relatively static financial years 2002-2004 from which data were analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Reactive halogens are responsible for boundary-layer ozone depletion and mercury deposition in Polar Regions during springtime. To investigate the source of reactive halogens in the air arriving at Barrow, Alaska, we measured BrO, an indicator of reactive halogen chemistry, and correlated its abundance with airmass histories derived from meteorological back trajectories and remotely sensed sea ice properties. The BrO abundance is found to be positively correlated to first-year sea-ice contact (R²=0.55), and essentially uncorrelated with potential frost flower (PFF) contact (R²=0.04). Assuming that PFF accurately predicts frost flowers, these data indicate that snow and ice contaminated with sea salts on first-year sea ice is a more probable bromine source than are frost flowers, for airmasses impacting Barrow, Alaska. Climate-driven changes in Arctic sea ice are likely to alter frost flower and first year sea ice prevalence. An accurate understanding of how these sea ice changes would affect the halogen chemistry of the overlying atmosphere depends upon understanding the relative roles of frost flowers and saline snow and ice surfaces as reactive bromine sources.

AB - Chemical management programs strive to protect human health and the environment by accurately identifying persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic substances and restricting their use in commerce. The advance of these programs is challenged by the reality that few empirical data are available for the tens of thousands of commercial substances that require evaluation. Therefore, most preliminary assessments rely on model predictions and data extrapolation. In November 2005, a workshop was held for experts from governments, industry, and academia to examine the availability and quality of in vivo fish bioconcentration and bioaccumulation data, and to propose steps to improve its prediction. The workshop focused on fish data because regulatory assessments predominantly focus on the bioconcentration of substances from water into fish, as measured using in vivo tests or predicted using computer models. In this article we review of the quantity, features, and public availability of bioconcentration, bioaccumulation, and biota--sediment accumulation data. The workshop revealed that there is significant overlap in the data contained within the various fish bioaccumulation data sources reviewed, and further, that no database contained all of the available fish bioaccumulation data. We believe that a majority of the available bioaccumulation data have been used in the development and testing of quantitative structure--activity relationships and computer models currently in use. Workshop recommendations included the publication of guidance on bioconcentration study quality, the combination of data from various sources to permit better access for modelers and assessors, and the review of chemical domains of existing models to identify areas for expansion.

AB - Objective: A prototype interface was developed to support decision making during tactical operations; a laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the capability of this interface to support a critical activity (i.e., obtaining the status of friendly combat resources).Background: Effective interface design strategies have been developed for domains that have primarily law-driven (e.g., process control) or intent-driven (e.g., information retrieval) constraints. However, design strategies for intermediate domains in which both types of constraints are equally critical, such as military command and control, have not been explored as extensively. The principles of direct perception, direct manipulation, and perception-action loops were used to develop a hybrid interface design strategy ("perception-action icons") that was incorporated into the prototype interface.Methods: A qualitative tactical simulation and an alternative interface (an experimental version of an existing U.S. Army interface) were developed. Participants used both interfaces to provide estimates of friendly combat resources for three different categories of information at three different echelon levels.Results: The results were unequivocal, indicating that the interface with perception-action icons produced significantly better performance.Conclusion: The perception-action icon design strategy was very effective in this experimental context. The potential for this design strategy to be useful for other intermediate domains is explored.Application: Actual or potential applications of this research include both specific interface design strategies for military command and control and general interface design principles for intermediate work domains.

AB - Objective: Effects of four types of automation support and two levels of automation reliability were examined. The objective was to examine the differential impact of information and decision automation and to investigate the costs of automation unreliability.Background: Research has shown that imperfect automation can lead to differential effects of stages and levels of automation on human performance.Method: Eighteen participants performed a "sensor to shooter" targeting simulation of command and control. Dependent variables included accuracy and response time of target engagement decisions, secondary task performance, and subjective ratings of mental work-load, trust, and self-confidence.Results: Compared with manual performance, reliable automation significantly reduced decision times. Unreliable automation led to greater cost in decision-making accuracy under the higher automation reliability condition for three different forms of decision automation relative to information automation. At low automation reliability, however, there was a cost in performance for both information and decision automation.Conclusion: The results are consistent with a model of human-automation interaction that requires evaluation of the different stages of information processing to which automation support can be applied.Application: If fully reliable decision automation cannot be guaranteed, designers should provide users with information automation support or other tools that allow for inspection and analysis of raw data.

AB - This research examined basic and applied aspects of the application of an alkaline source to soil in order to reduce the source zone contamination on live fire ranges and contaminant transport into groundwater. Mesocosms were prepared using soil contaminated with hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) at 38, 11, and 4 mg/kg, respectively, in order to evaluate removal using several alkaline materials. Alkaline application methods examined included topical, well-mixed, and aqueous. These studies were supported by microbiological and toxicological assessments. Well-mixed soil–lime systems yielded high soil pH (>12) and complete removal of TNT, RDX, and HMX from both soil and leachate by 2, 4, and 18 weeks, respectively. The pH of soil and leachate of topical application systems remained similar to the control (pH 5–6). The occurrence of RDX degradation products and anoxic leachate indicated that anaerobic biodegradation had occurred in several of the topical application mesocosms and contributed to explosive removal. The efficacy of the alkaline hydrolysis reaction in soil is indicated by the initial soil pH, and the degree of base saturation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Few studies have determined the toxicity and bioaccumulation potential of explosive compounds in freshwater fish. In the present study, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to a range of 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) concentrations (0.44-44 μmol/L [0.1-10 mg/L] and 4.4-22.0 μmol/L [1.0-5.0 mg/L] in 4- and 10-d experiments, respectively). Median lethal concentrations of 11.93 μmol/L (2.7 mg/L; 95% confidence limit [CL], 10.29-13.83 μmol/L) and 9.68 μmol/L (2.20 mg/L; 95% CL, 9.17-10.22 μmol/L) were calculated in the 4- and 10-d experiments, respectively, and median lethal body residue of 101.0 μmol/kg (95% CL, 86.0-118.7 μmol/kg) was calculated in 4-d experiments. To study bioaccumulation, fish were exposed to 4.4 μmol/L (1 mg/L) of TNT for 12 h. Rapid bioaccumulation of TNT occurred within the first 10 min of exposure (ku = 30.4 L/kg/h). Elimination of ΣTNT (molar sum of TNT and degradation products 2- and 4-aminodinitrotoluenes) was fast, with an elimination rate (ke) of 2.24/h and a short half-life (0.31 h). The bioconcentration factors determined using 6-h mean tissue and water concentrations of ΣTNT were 8.40 and 4.68 L/kg for the uptake experiment and the uptake portion of the elimination experiments, respectively. To determine the target organ for TNT in fish, juvenile fathead minnow were exposed to 2.2 μmol/L (0.5 mg/L) of [14C]TNT for 10 d. Radiolabeled compounds primarily bioaccumulated in the visceral tissues and spleen in comparison to gill, brain, muscle, and remainder tissue groups. The present study demonstrates the low bioaccumulation potential and rapid uptake of TNT in the fathead minnow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Reactive halogens are responsible for boundary-layer ozone depletion and mercury deposition in Polar Regions during springtime. To investigate the source of reactive halogens in the air arriving at Barrow, Alaska, we measured BrO, a marker of reactive halogen chemistry, and correlated its abundance with airmass histories derived from meteorological back trajectories and remotely sensed sea ice properties. The BrO is found to be positively correlated to first-year sea-ice contact (R²=0.55), and weakly negatively correlated to potential frost flower (PFF) contact (R²=0.04). These data indicate that snow contaminated with sea salts on first-year sea ice is a more probable bromine source than are frost flowers. Recent climate-driven changes in Arctic sea ice are likely to alter frost flower and first year sea ice prevalence, suggesting a significant change in reactive halogen abundance, which will alter the chemistry of the overlying Arctic atmosphere.

AB - In December 1999, a nonintrusive directional lidar wave gauge (LWG) was field tested at the Field Research Facility (FRF) in North Carolina. The LWG uses proven lidar technology to directly measure water surface elevation from above the water’s surface. Therefore, unlike bottom-mounted gauges, the surface elevation measurement from the LWG is independent of other hydrodynamic processes. The LWG prototype consists of four rangefinders, where each collects water surface elevation time series at a rate of 10 Hz. During the field test, ground truth data were collected concurrently with the LWG data using a biaxial current and pressure meter mounted directly beneath the LWG. Additional ground truth data were available from the existing FRF wave-gauging infrastructure. This paper describes principles of LWG operation and field experiment setup, LWG environmental and technical constraints, and LWG performance in measuring spectral wave parameters.

AB - 1. Floods are major disturbances to stream ecosystems that can kill or displace organisms and modify habitats. Many studies have reported changes in fish assemblages after a single flood, but few studies have evaluated the importance of timing and intensity of floods on long-term fish assemblage dynamics. 2. We used a 10-year dataset to evaluate the effects of floods on fishes in Kings Creek, an intermittent prairie stream in north-eastern, Kansas, U.S.A. Samples were collected seasonally at two perennial headwater sites (1995–2005) and one perennial downstream flowing site (1997–2005) allowing us to evaluate the effects of floods at different locations within a watershed. In addition, four surveys during 2003 and 2004 sampled 3–5 km of stream between the long-term study sites to evaluate the use of intermittent reaches of this stream. 3. Because of higher discharge and bed scouring at the downstream site, we predicted that the fish assemblage would have lowered species richness and abundance following floods. In contrast, we expected increased species richness and abundance at headwater sites because floods increase stream connectivity and create the potential for colonisation from downstream reaches. 4. Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) was used to select among candidate regression models that predicted species richness and abundance based on Julian date, time since floods, season and physical habitat at each site. At the downstream site, AIC weightings suggested Julian date was the best predictor of fish assemblage structure, but no model explained >16% of the variation in species richness or community structure. Variation explained by Julian date was primarily attributed to a long-term pattern of declining abundance of common species. At the headwater sites, there was not a single candidate model selected to predict total species abundance and assemblage structure. AIC weightings suggested variation in assemblage structure was associated with either Julian date or local habitat characteristics. 5. Fishes rapidly colonised isolated or dry habitats following floods. This was evidenced by the occurrence of fishes in intermittent reaches and the positive association between maximum daily discharge and colonisation events at both headwater sites. 6. Our study suggests floods allow dispersal into intermittent habitats with little or no downstream displacement of fishes. Movement of fishes among habitats during flooding highlights the importance of maintaining connectivity of stream networks of low to medium order prairie streams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Microcosms were prepared using soils from munitions plants and active firing ranges and treated with hydrated lime. The presence of particulate explosives and co-contaminants, and the concentration of soil total organic carbon (TOC) on the alkaline hydrolysis reaction were studied. Trinitrobenzene (TNB) and dinitrobenzene (DNB) were sensitive to alkaline hydrolysis under these experimental conditions. The TNT metabolites, 2A- and 4A-DNT, were also removed, although more slowly than the parent compound, and the reaction required a higher pH (>12). RDX retention in the soil was proportional to the TOC content. The degradation intermediates of the alkaline hydrolysis reaction partitioned in the soil matrix in a manner similar to the parent. Solid particles of explosives are also degraded by alkaline hydrolysis. RDX and HMX exhibited 74 and 57% removal, respectively, in 21 days. TNT, as whole and broken grains, showed 83 and 99.9% removal in 21 days, respectively. The propellants, 2,4- and 2,6-DNT, were insensitive to alkaline hydrolysis. Alkaline hydrolysis is an inexpensive and effective means of reducing the varied explosives contamination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A network flow optimization model is developed to study the operations of the Panama Canal system. The prescriptive model chooses monthly reservoir releases and storage levels that maximize the overall benefit of the system. Solution of the model relies on penalty functions that relate value (either economic or noneconomic) to storage levels, releases, and flows in the system. Penalty functions are developed for the multiple purposes of the system, including water supply, navigation, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control. Patterns observed in the model results can serve as starting points to develop improved operating rules for the existing system, and the model can also help evaluate the potential benefits of structural changes to the system. The primary operational trade-off evaluated herein is between maximizing hydroelectric power generation and meeting navigation requirements with a high degree of reliability. Model results also provide some insights into the capacity expansion decisions faced by the Panama Canal Authority. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Security Technology Certification Program and the Environmental Protection Agency sponsored a project to evaluate the benefits and utility of contaminant transport simulation-optimization algorithms against traditional (trial and error) modeling approaches. Three pump-and-treat facilities operated by the DoD were selected for inclusion in the project. Three optimization formulations were developed for each facility and solved independently by three modeling teams (two using simulation-optimization algorithms and one applying trial-and-error methods). The results clearly indicate that simulation-optimization methods are able to search a wider range of well locations and flow rates and identify better solutions than current trial-and-error approaches. The solutions found were 5% to 50% better than those obtained using trial-and-error (measured using optimal objective function values), with an average improvement of ∼20%. This translated into potential savings ranging from $600,000 to $10,000,000 for the three sites. In nearly all cases, the cost savings easily outweighed the costs of the optimization. To reduce computational requirements, in some cases the simulation-optimization groups applied multiple mathematical algorithms, solved a series of modified subproblems, and/or fit “meta-models” such as neural networks or regression models to replace time-consuming simulation models in the optimization algorithm. The optimal solutions did not account for the uncertainties inherent in the modeling process. This project illustrates that transport simulation-optimization techniques are practical for real problems. However, applying the techniques in an efficient manner requires expertise and should involve iterative modification to the formulations based on interim results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Picric acid is an explosive historically produced and disposed at the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP) in northern Louisiana. The potential for natural degradation of picric acid was investigated by creating picric-acid slurries with four LAAP sediments of variable composition and monitoring for up to 98 days. The concentrations of picric acid decreased rapidly in all slurries during the first day, attributed to adsorption, followed by slower decreases in some samples due to degradation. Degradation in unsterilized slurries was nearly complete within 80 days for two of the four sediments. Increases in nitrite and nitrate concentration over time were proportional to the loss of picric acid and indicate that at least two of the three nitrite groups were removed from the picric acid molecule. The absence of significant concentrations of compounds with a mass greater than 100 amu in the final solutions suggests that all three nitrite groups were removed. No correlation was found between the degree of degradation and grain size, clay content, organic content, carbonate content, or a suite of element concentrations in the sediment. Degradation in sterilized samples was minimal for all sediment slurries, indicating microbial activity as the primary mechanism of degradation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Models used to test whether an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) can be used to describe the relationship between GDP and energy use and/or carbon emissions may be biased by the omission of energy prices. Here we include real energy prices and fuel shares in models that describe energy use and carbon emissions. We test if these models show a turning point in OECD countries. Results indicate that including energy prices eliminates statistical support for a turning point and suggest that the relationship between income and both energy use and carbon emissions is represented most accurately by diminishing returns. These results imply that economic growth per se will not reduce energy use or emissions that cause global climate change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Scalar population models, commonly referred to as count-based models, are based on time-series data of population sizes and may be useful for screening-level ecological risk assessments when data for more complex models are not available. Appropriate use of such models for management purposes, however, requires understanding inherent biases that may exist in these models. Through a series of simulations, which compared predictions of risk of decline of scalar and matrix-based models, we examined whether discrepancies may arise from different dynamics displayed due to age structure and generation time. We also examined scalar and matrix-based population models of 18 real populations for potential patterns of bias in population viability estimates. In the simulation study, precautionary bias (i.e., overestimating risks of decline) of scalar models increased as a function of generation time. Models of real populations showed poor fit between scalar and matrix-based models, with scalar models predicting significantly higher risks of decline on average. The strength of this bias was not correlated with generation time, suggesting that additional sources of bias may be masking this relationship. Scalar models can be useful for screening-level assessments, which should in general be precautionary, but the potential shortfalls of these models should be considered before using them as a basis for management decisions.

AB - Resumen: Los modelos poblacionales escalares, comúnmente conocidos como modelos basados en conteos, se basan en datos de series de tiempo de tamaños poblacionales y pueden ser útiles para evaluaciones de riesgo a nivel de diagnóstico cuando no hay disponibilidad de datos para modelos más complejos. Sin embargo, el uso apropiado de tales modelos con fines de gestión requiere entender los sesgos inherentes que pueden existir en estos modelos. A través de una serie de simulaciones, que comparaban predicciones del riesgo de extinción en modelos escalares y matriciales, examinamos si las discrepancias se pueden originar de las diferentes dinámicas mostradas debido a la estructura de edades y el tiempo generacional. También examinamos modelos escalares y matriciales de 18 poblaciones reales para determinar patrones potenciales de sesgos en las estimaciones de viabilidad poblacional. En el estudio simulado, el sesgo preventivo (i.e., sobreestimación de los riesgos de declinación) de los modelos preventivos incrementó en función del tiempo generacional. El ajuste entre los modelos escalares y matriciales de las poblaciones reales fue pobre, los modelos escalares predijeron significativamente mayor riesgo de extinción en promedio. La robustez de este sesgo no se correlacionó con el tiempo generacional, lo que sugiere que esta relación puede estar enmascarada por fuentes adicionales de sesgo. Los modelos escalares pueden ser útiles para evaluaciones a nivel diagnóstico, que en general deberían ser preventivas, pero las deficiencias potenciales de estos modelos deberían ser consideradas antes de utilizarlos como base para decisiones de manejo.

AB - There has been a long-standing debate regarding the adequacy of airflow rates used in respirator certification testing and whether these test flow rates underestimate actual values. This study investigated breath by breath inspiratory peak flow rate, minute ventilation, and instantaneous flow rates of eight young, healthy volunteers walking on a treadmill at 80-85% of maximal aerobic capacity until exhaustion while wearing an air-purifying respirator with one of eight combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance. An analysis of variance was performed to identify differences among the eight conditions. Scheffe's post hoc analysis indicated which means differed. The group of conditions with the highest average value for each parameter was identified and considered to represent a worst-case scenario. Data was reported for these conditions. A Gaussian distribution was fit to the data and the 99.9% probability levels determined. The 99.9% probability level for the peak and instantaneous flow rates were 374 L/min and 336 L/min, respectively. The minute ventilation distribution was not Gaussian. Less than 1% of the recorded minute ventilations exceeded 135 L/min. Instantaneous flow rates exceeded the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's respirator test standards of 64, 85, and 100 L/min constant flow 91%, 87%, and 82% of the time, respectively. The recorded minute ventilations exceeded the 40 L/min minute ventilation test standard (for tests with a sinusoidal flow pattern) 100% of the time. This study showed that young, healthy respirator wearers generated peak flow rates, minute ventilations, and instantaneous flow rates that consistently exceeded current test standards. Their flow rates should be higher than those of a respirator wearer performing occupational work and could be considered upper limits. Testing respirators and respirator cartridges using a sinusoidal breathing pattern with a minute ventilation of 135 L/min (peak flow rate approximately 424 L/min) would encompass 99% of the recorded minute ventilations and 99.9% of the predicted peak and instantaneous flow rates from this study and would more accurately reflect human respiration during strenuous exercise.

T1 - Reevaluation of a Twenty-Four-Month Chronic Toxicity/Carcinogenicity Study of Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in the B6C3F1 Hybrid Mouse.

AB - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has been widely used as an explosive in U.S. army munitions formulations since World War II. Two-year carcinogenicity studies revealed RDX to be noncarcinogenic in two strains of rats, but a 2-year carcinogenicity study in B6C3F1 mice revealed an increased incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms in females. Based on results of the study in B6C3F1 mice, RDX has been classified as a possible carcinogen. The authors reevaluated the archived histological sections from the B6C3F1 mouse study, using current histopathologic diagnostic criteria and interpretations. The earlier evaluation showed a statistically significant increase in the incidence of hepatocellular adenoma/carcinoma in female mice from the three highest dose groups (7, 35, and 175/100 mg/kg/day). The revaluation yielded a slightly lower incidence at each of the dose levels in female mice. The reduced number of hepatocellular neoplasms was largely due to reclassification of hepatocellular adenomas as foci of cytoplasmic alteration, in compliance with current diagnostic criteria. The reevaluation was reviewed by a pathology working group (PWG), which arrived at a consensus classification of each lesion. Based on the consensus diagnoses of the PWG, only one female group (35 mg/kg/day) showed a significant increase when compared to controls. The incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms for all groups, including the 35 mg/kg/day group, was within the reported incidence range for spontaneous hepatocellular neoplasms in female B6C3F1 mice. The increased incidence of hepatocellular neoplasms in female mice given RDX at 35 mg/kg/day was interpreted as equivocal evidence of a carcinogenic effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The article explores justifications for protection measures against natural hazards, leading to a cycle of increased development and incrementally increasing levels of protection infrastructure. Several possible reasons people live in hazardous areas are presented. However, this article argues that benefits often outweigh the occasional damage costs. Since they do, such areas become developed and hence more economically valuable. If analysis of policies for developing lands on hazardous sites and providing protection against the hazards consider the benefits obtained from such development when the hazards are not occurring, they may well support that development, together with increased hazard protection and mitigation measures.

AB - The potential biological effects of elevated suspended sediment concentrations caused by beach nourishment activities are a commonly cited environmental concern; however, the spatial scope and magnitude of increases in total suspended sediment (TSS) levels are infrequently monitored. In this study, suspended sediment conditions were monitored for two nourishment events on the northern coast of New Jersey in 1997 and 1998. Samples were taken in the swash, surf, and nearshore zones near the discharge pipe and at reference areas both north and south of the fill sites. Sampling was also conducted after two major storms passed through the area in September 1999 (the remnants of Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd). For both nourishment events, swash zone suspended sediment concentrations were significantly higher at sites of active discharge and recently nourished stations than at unnourished stations; however, no differences in TSS concentrations were detected between nourished and unnourished stations in the surf zone and nearshore habitats during either nourishment event. Maximum bottom surf zone and nearshore TSS concentrations related to nourishment activities were 64 mg/L and 34 mg/L, respectively, compared with respective maximum bottom concentrations of 81 mg/L and 425 mg/L after storms. Background maximum bottom TSS concentrations in the surf and nearshore zones on unnourished portions of the beach were less than 20 mg/L. Elevated TSS concentrations associated with the active beach nourishment site were limited to within 400 m of the discharge pipe in the swash zone. More direct monitoring of TSS concentrations is needed to better understand the potential biological effects of beach nourishment activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Each winter, municipal water supply and thermal power plants drawing water from the Great Lakes face the problem of their water intakes becoming blocked by frazil ice formed in the lakes. Little is known about the manner in which frazil forms, how it is drawn down to the depths at which the intakes are located, and how to prevent frazil from fully blocking intakes. This paper presents an overview of frazil formation and intake blockage in the Great Lakes. The paper first reviews the current understanding of the processes of frazil formation and intake blockage, and it adds new insight regarding the processes. It then describes the problem by way of case-study examples of frazil blockage of two intakes in Lake Michigan. Based on the case studies, and experiences with other intakes in the Great Lakes, the paper outlines methods for monitoring and mitigating frazil blockage. Two options are recommended: monitoring rate of water level drop in the pump forebay onshore from the intake, and rate of headloss increase between the intake and the forebay. Laboratory modeling of intake blockage is then presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Automatic mesh refinement can create suitable resolution for a hydrodynamic simulation in a computationally efficient manner. Development of an automatic adaptive procedure will rely on estimating and/or controlling computational error by adapting the mesh parameters with respect to a particular measurement. Since a primary source of error in a discrete approximation of the shallow-water equations is inadequate mesh resolution, an adaptive mesh can be an efficient approach to increase accuracy. This paper introduces a simple indicator for the shallow water equations that measures the error in a norm of mass conservation to determine which elements require refinement or coarsening. The resulting adaptive grid gives results comparable to a much higher resolution (uniformly refined) mesh with less computational expense. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Identifying the differences in ecology between closely related species occupying the same environment contributes to our understanding of community diversity, ecosystem structure, and species conservation. Endemic Bear Lake whitefish (Prosopium abyssicola) and Bonneville whitefish (Prosopium spilonotus) are benthic, morphologically similar, and closely related, yet the extent of differential resource use remains poorly understood. To determine the ecological differences between these two species, we studied their seasonal distribution and diet in Bear Lake, Utah–Idaho. We used bottom-set gill nets to examine how catch of each species of whitefish varied in relation to depth and season (spring and summer). In both spring and summer, Bonneville whitefish dominated the shallower depths (5–30 m), whereas Bear Lake whitefish dominated the deeper depths (45–55 m). Bonneville whitefish ate a variety of benthic invertebrates, but mostly Chironomidae, whereas Bear Lake whitefish fed mostly on Ostracoda. These data describe a closely related morphologically similar, yet ecologically distinct group of whitefish in an ecoregion completely different from those studied before. These results indicated that each species has a very different role in the Bear Lake ecosystem. To conserve this unique fish assemblage, both shallow and deepwater habitats need to be protected.

AB - L'identification des différences dans l'écologie d'espèces fortement apparentées qui vivent dans le même milieu contribue à la compréhension de la diversité des communautés, de la structure des écosystèmes et de la conservation des espèces. Les ménominis du lac Bear (Prosopium abyssicola) et les ménominis de Bonneville (Prosopium spilonotus) sont des poissons endémiques, benthiques, morphologiquement semblables et fortement apparentés; on connaît néanmoins mal leur utilisation différentielle des ressources. Afin de déterminer les différences écologiques entre ces deux espèces, nous avons étudié leur répartition saisonnière et leur régime alimentaire au lac Bear, Utah–Idaho. Des filets maillants installés sur le fond ont servi à montrer comment les captures de chacune des deux espèces de ménominis varient en fonction de la profondeur et de la saison (printemps et été). Tant au printemps qu'en été, les ménominis de Bonneville prédominent dans les profondeurs plus faibles (5–30 m), alors que les ménominis du lac Bear sont plus nombreux dans les eaux plus profondes (45–55 m). Les ménominis de Bonneville se nourrissent d'une variété d'invertébrés benthiques, mais surtout de Chironomidae, alors que les ménominis du lac Bear consomment principalement des Ostracoda. Ces données décrivent un groupe de ménominis proches parents à morphologie semblable, mais à écologie distincte, dans une écorégion totalement différente de celles étudiées antérieurement. Nos résultats indiquent que chacune des espèces a un rôle bien distinct dans l'écosystème du lac Bear. Les habitats, tant de faible que de grande profondeur, doivent donc être protégés afin de conserver cette association exceptionnelle de poissons.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sulfur mustard (SM) is a powerful cytotoxic agent as well as a potent vesicant, mutagen, and carcinogen. This compound reacts with glutathione (GSH) and forms GSH-SM conjugates that appear to be excreted through the mercapturic acid pathway in mammals. The question of whether glutathione-S-transferases (GST) are involved in enzymatic formation of these conjugates remains unresolved. In previous studies, ethacrynic acid (EAA), a putative inhibitor of this transferase, and oltipraz, a known inducer,were ineffective in modulating this enzyme in cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) so this hypothesis could not be tested. Higher levels of intracellular GSH appeared to be solely responsible for resistance of EAA-pretreated cells to SM. A better inducer of GST was needed to test whether this enzyme could be used to modify cytotoxicity following SM exposure. D,L-sulforaphane (DLS), a compound from broccoli extract known to be a potent inducer of this enzyme, was tested for GST induction in cultured NHEK. The enzyme levels increased optimally (40%) in these cells within 4 hours using 0.5 μg DLS/mL over a 48 hour incubation period. When the drug was removed by washing, and pretreated cells were challenged with 0–200 μM SM, there was a 10%–15% increase in survival at 24 hours compared with non-pretreated SM controls. This protective effect due to increased levels of GST was abolished at 300 μM sulfur mustard, where there was no difference in survival between pretreated and non-pretreated controls. Glutathione levels were also assessed and showed no increase at 4 hours in cultured NHEK with DLS pretreatment and appear not to be responsible for this protection against SM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - During the Joint Urban 2003 (JU2003) atmospheric field experiment in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, of July 2003, lidar teams from Arizona State University and the Army Research Laboratory collaborated to perform intersecting range–height indicator scans. Because a single lidar measures radial winds, that is, the dot product of the wind vector with a unit vector pointing along the lidar beam, the data from two lidars viewing from different directions can be combined to produce horizontal velocity vectors. Analysis programs were written to retrieve horizontal velocity vectors for a series of eight vertical profiles to the southwest (approximately upwind) of the downtown urban core. This technique has the following unique characteristics that make it well suited for urban meteorology studies: 1) continuous vertical profiles from far above the building heights to down into the street canyons can be measured and 2) the profiles can extend to very near the ground without a loss of accuracy (assuming clear lines of site). The period of time analyzed spans from 1400 to 1730 UTC (0900–1230 local time) on 9 July 2003. Both shear and convective heating are important during the development of the boundary layer over this period of time. Differences in 10- and 20-min mean profiles show the effect of the variation of position approaching the urban core; for example, several hundred meters above the ground, velocity magnitudes for profiles separated by less than a kilometer may differ by over 1 m s-1. The effect of the increased roughness associated with the central business district can be seen as a deceleration of the velocity and a turning of the wind direction as the flow approaches the core, up to approximately 10° for some profiles. This effect is evident below 400–500 m both in the wind directions and magnitudes. Recommendations are given for how this type of data can be used in a comparison with model data.

AB - Although microarray technology has emerged as a powerful tool to explore expression levels of thousands of genes or even complete genomes after exposure to toxicants, the functional interpretation of microarray data sets still represents a time-consuming and challenging task. Gene ontology (GO) and pathway mapping have both been shown to be powerful approaches to generate a global view of biological processes and cellular components impacted by toxicants. However, current methods only allow for comparisons across two experimental settings at one particular time point. In addition, the resulting annotations are presented in extensive gene lists with minimal or limited quantitative information, data that are crucial in the application of toxicogenomic data for risk assessment. To facilitate quantitative interpretation of dose- or time-dependent genomic data, we propose to use combined average raw gene expression values (e.g., intensity or ratio) of genes associated with specific functional categories derived from the GO database. We developed an extended program (GO-Quant) to extract quantitative gene expression values and to calculate the average intensity or ratio for those significantly altered by functional gene category based on MAPPFinder results. To demonstrate its application, we applied this approach to a previously published dose- and time-dependent toxicogenomic data set (J. F. Dillman et al., 2005, Chem. Res. Toxicol. 18, 28–34). Our results indicate that the above systems approach can describe quantitatively the degree to which functional gene systems change across dose or time. Additionally, this approach provides a robust measurement to illustrate results compared to single-gene assessments and enables the user to calculate the corresponding ED50 for each specific functional GO term, important for risk assessment.

AB - We studied the anaerobic biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in a mineral medium by a mixed culture. RDX degradation activity was maintained for more than a year with only the addition of RDX. We observed a steady increase in the protein concentration of the culture from 4.8 μg mL−1 to more than 24.4 μg mL−1, a >400% increase. There was only a slight increase in protein in the RDX unamended control bottles containing live culture, increasing from 4.8 μg mL−1 to 7.8 μg mL−1. Radiolabeled 14C-RDX confirmed mineralization of the cyclic nitramine to 14CO2. After 164 days, 35% of the radiolabel was recovered as 14CO2. This is the first report demonstrating the mineralization of RDX when it serves as a growth substrate for a mixed culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Seasonal deformation of unsurfaced roads was observed over several years and was studied using pavement deterioration models and finite-element analysis. The Mathematical Model of Pavement Performance is a model designed for pavement deterioration prediction and was successfully used for seasonal deterioration modeling because of its flexibility in defining the pavement structure, properties, and seasonal impact. However, these types of models are designed for highways and are somewhat limited in soils characterization and manipulation of the forces at the road–tire interface. Therefore, a three-dimensional dynamic finite-element model of a wheel rolling over soil was applied to simulate local vehicle traffic on a secondary unpaved road. These simulations were used to study the effects of vehicle speed, load, suspension system, wheel torque, and wheel slip on rutting and washboard formation. Modeling results are compared to field measurements and observations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Historical records suggested the existence of .45 caliber Thompson sub-machine gun ranges near the Fort Lewis Evergreen Range; however, the precise location of the bullet impact area was not known. The site covered 20 acres, too large to cost-effectively characterize using convention grid sampling techniques. As an alternative, a study was conducted using a hand-held metal detector to locate the bullet impact areas. The metal detector chosen, a Garrett Graphic Target Imaging™ (GTI) 2500, has an LCD screen, which provides the user information on the potential size and depth of the object causing the signal. A two-man team performed the study and bullet detection was confirmed by excavation. The metal detector proved effective at finding .45 caliber bullets. Three impact areas were successfully identified and marked using a global positioning system (GPS). The metal detecting strategy saved substantial sampling time and over $35,000.00 by decreasing the sampling area by 93 percent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Here, we contribute to the continuing development of the quasi-wavelet (QW) model of turbulence that is currently being used in simulations of sound propagation and scattering in the turbulent atmosphere. We show that a QW model of temperature fluctuations exists for any physically reasonable temperature spectrum of isotropic homogeneous turbulence, including the widely used von Kármán spectrum. We derive a simple formula for the QW shape that reproduces a given spectrum exactly in the energy, transition, and inertial subranges. We also show that simple QW shapes can be normalized to yield an analytic expression for a temperature spectrum that is fairly close to any given spectrum. As an example, we match the Gaussian QW model to the von Kármán spectrum as closely as possible, and find remarkably good agreement in all subranges including the dissipation subrange. We also derive formulae for the variance and kurtosis associated with the QW model, and show how the latter depends on the QW packing fraction and size distribution. We also illustrate how the visual appearance of several QW-simulated temperature fluctuation fields depends on the QW packing fraction, size distribution, and kurtosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A Bayesian belief network (BBN) methodology is proposed for combining evidence to better characterize contamination events and reduce false positive sensor detections in drinking water distribution systems. A BBN is developed that integrates sensor data with other validating evidence of contamination scenarios. This network is used to graphically express the causal relationships between events such as operational changes or a true contaminant release and consequent observable evidence in an example distribution system. In the BBN methodology proposed here, multiple computer simulations of contaminant transport are used to estimate the prior probabilities of a positive sensor detection. These simulations are run over multiple combinations of possible source locations and initial mass injections for a conservative solute. This approach provides insight into the effect of uncertainties in source mass and location on the detection probability of the sensors. In addition, the simulations identify the upstream nodes that are more likely to result in positive detections. The BBN incorporates the probabilities that result from these simulations, and the network is updated to reflect three demonstration scenarios—a false positive and two true positive sensor detections.

AB - In this note, we present a public domain analytical reactive transport modeling tool (ART3D, version 2.0). The tool is developed in FORTRAN and can be used for solving a system of a set of partial differential equations coupled with a first-order reaction network. ART3D uses a novel analytic solution technique proposed by Clement. The new software includes options for performing Monte Carlo simulations and automated parameter estimation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A critical review is presented on the state of knowledge and calculation capability for coastal overwash. Overwash and overwash deposits (washover) accompanying hurricanes and severe storms can devastate coastal communities and habitat, but in many areas these processes are essential for maintaining the integrity of barrier islands while creating new habitat. This review covers general studies of overwash processes, studies from a geological perspective, physical modeling, field studies including measurements of washovers and related hydraulics, and the state of numerical modeling capability to predict overwash. Although significant literature exists describing individual overwash events and locations experiencing frequent overwash, complete hydrodynamic and morphologic documentation of an overwash event is lacking. A limited number of algorithms or models exist to quantify overwash occurrence, deposited sand volume, and upper beach profile evolution. Existing models of overwash occurrence and one-dimensional beach profile evolution have been shown to perform successfully against available data, and areas of improvement are identified. Models must be made capable of simulating the various washover morphologies that have been produced by different hydrodynamics, overwash spreading based on dune topography, friction and percolation, and interaction between swash bores. Comprehensive laboratory and field data sets to achieve these aims are still lacking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Genetic surveys of reef fishes have revealed high population connectivity within ocean basins, consistent with the assumption that pelagic larvae disperse long distances by oceanic currents. However, several recent studies have demonstrated that larval retention and self-recruitment may be higher than previously expected. To assess connectivity in tropical reef fishes, we contribute range-wide mtDNA surveys of two Atlantic squirrelfishes (family Holocentridae). The blackbar soldierfish, Myripristis jacobus, has a pelagic juvenile phase of about 58 days, compared to about 71 days (~22% longer) in the longjaw squirrelfish, Holocentrus ascensionis. If the pelagic duration is guiding dispersal ability, M. jacobus should have greater population genetic structure than H. ascensionis. In comparisons of mtDNA cytochrome b sequences from 69 M. jacobus (744 bp) and 101 H. ascensionis (769 bp), both species exhibited a large number of closely related haplotypes ( h=0.781 and 0.974, π=0.003 and 0.006, respectively), indicating late Pleistocene coalescence of mtDNA lineages. Contrary to the prediction based on pelagic duration, M. jacobus has much less population structure (φST=0.008, P=0.228) than H. ascensionis (φST=0.091, P<0.001). Significant population partitions in H. ascensionis were observed between eastern, central and western Atlantic, and between Brazil and the Caribbean in the western Atlantic. These results, in combination with the findings from 13 codistributed species, indicate that pelagic larval duration is a poor predictor of population genetic structure in Atlantic reef fishes. A key to understanding this disparity may be the evolutionary depth among corresponding taxonomic groups of “reef fishes”, which extends back to the mid-Cretaceous and encompasses enormous diversity in ecology and life history. We should not expect a simple relationship between pelagic larval duration and genetic connectivity, among lineages that diverged 50–100 million years ago. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Antimicrobial peptides are part of the innate immune system of vertebrates and invertebrates. They are active against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Currently, most antimicrobial peptides are extracted from host organisms or produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis. Recombinant protein expression in Escherichia coli is a tool for greater production yields at a decreased cost and reduces the use of hazardous materials. We have constructed a concatamer of indolicidin and successfully expressed a fusion product with thioredoxin in E. coli BL21DE3. Codons for methionine residues flanking individual indolicidin genes were incorporated for cyanogen bromide cleavage of the fusion protein and liberation of active monomeric indolicidin. Peptide yields of 150 μg/l monomeric indolicidin were achieved in this first report of recombinant production of indolicidin with demonstrated antimicrobial activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Removal of turbidity, phytoplankton, and zooplankton from ballast water with waste-tire-made crumb rubber filtration was evaluated in this study. The influences of various design, operational, and water quality parameters (filter depth, media size, filtration rate, temperature, turbidity, running time, etc.) on filtration performance were investigated. Statistical approaches were used to develop empirical models, including a head loss model which partially resembles the Kozeny equation, to evaluate these factors. Regression models, validated with data from the field study, were used for predicting the influence of operational parameters on crumb rubber filtration. Sensitivity analyses of the significance of each factor were conducted. Results showed that media size played a very important role in the removal of suspended matter, while temperature, filter depth, influent turbidity, and running time did not have a significant influence. Head loss was most affected by filtration rate and media size. These results indicated that the behaviors of the crumb rubber filtration for ballast water treatment cannot be described by the theories and models for conventional granular media filtration without modification.

AB - A revised Bayesian algorithm for estimating surface rain rate, convective rain proportion, and latent heating profiles from satellite-borne passive microwave radiometer observations over ocean backgrounds is described. The algorithm searches a large database of cloud-radiative model simulations to find cloud profiles that are radiatively consistent with a given set of microwave radiance measurements. The properties of these radiatively consistent profiles are then composited to obtain best estimates of the observed properties. The revised algorithm is supported by an expanded and more physically consistent database of cloud-radiative model simulations. The algorithm also features a better quantification of the convective and nonconvective contributions to total rainfall, a new geographic database, and an improved representation of background radiances in rain-free regions. Bias and random error estimates are derived from applications of the algorithm to synthetic radiance data, based upon a subset of cloud-resolving model simulations, and from the Bayesian formulation itself. Synthetic rain-rate and latent heating estimates exhibit a trend of high (low) bias for low (high) retrieved values. The Bayesian estimates of random error are propagated to represent errors at coarser time and space resolutions, based upon applications of the algorithm to TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) data. Errors in TMI instantaneous rain-rate estimates at 0.5°-resolution range from approximately 50% at 1 mm h-1 to 20% at 14 mm h-1. Errors in collocated spaceborne radar rain-rate estimates are roughly 50%–80% of the TMI errors at this resolution. The estimated algorithm random error in TMI rain rates at monthly, 2.5° resolution is relatively small (less than 6% at 5 mm day-1) in comparison with the random error resulting from infrequent satellite temporal sampling (8%–35% at the same rain rate). Percentage errors resulting from sampling decrease with increasing rain rate, and sampling errors in latent heating rates follow the same trend. Averaging over 3 months reduces sampling errors in rain rates to 6%–15% at 5 mm day-1, with proportionate reductions in latent heating sampling errors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The relative accuracy (RA) of a newly developed mercury continuous emissions monitor, based on X-ray fluorescence, was determined by comparing analysis results at coal-fired plants with two certified reference methods (American Society for Testing and Materials [ASTM] Method D6784-02 and U.S. Environment Protection Agency [EPA] Method 29). During the first determination, the monitor had an RA of 25% compared with ASTM Method D6784-02 (Ontario Hydro Method). However, the Ontario Hydro Method performed poorly, because the mercury concentrations were near the detection limit of the reference method. The mercury in this exhaust stream was primarily elemental. The second test was performed at a U.S. Army boiler against EPA Reference Method 29. Mercury and arsenic were spiked because of expected low mercury concentrations. The monitor had an RA of 16% for arsenic and 17% for mercury, meeting RA requirements of EPA Performance Specification 12a. The results suggest that the sampling stream contained significant percentages of both elemental and oxidized mercury. The monitor was successful at measuring total mercury in particulate and vapor forms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper reports on experiments and simulations of subsurface flow from a slotted acrylic tube deployed in a sand-tank flow chamber for two different purposes. In the first instance, the slotted tube is used to represent a single fracture intersected by an uncased well. In the second instance, the slotted tube is used to represent a multislot well screen within a porous medium. In both cases, the scanning colloidal borescope flowmeter (SCBFM) measures ground water velocity within the well by imaging colloids traveling through a well to measure their speed and direction. Measurements are compared against model simulations. For the case of a slotted tube representing a single fracture, SCBFM and model results agree with respect to the flow direction and to within a factor of 1.5 for the speed near the well’s center. Model and experimental agreement lend confidence that for an uncased well drilled in a fractured-rock medium, a calibrated SCBFM could be used to identify and quantify flowing features. Next, the SCBFM was deployed in a four-column multislotted casing with slots aligned with the flow direction. Another numerical model was developed to estimate the flow field within this well screen to evaluate the potential usefulness of employing the SCBFM in a screened well to estimate flow speed and direction in the surrounding porous medium. Results indicate that if the slots are not aligned with the flow, the SCBFM may only provide order-of-magnitude speed measurements and direction measurements with an uncertainty of approximately ±25°.

AB - Scientifically based ecological soil-screening levels are needed to identify concentrations of contaminant energetic materials (EMs) in soil that present an acceptable ecological risk at a wide range of military installations. Insufficient information regarding the toxicity of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) to soil invertebrates necessitated toxicity testing. We adapted the standardized Enchytraeid Reproduction Test (International Standardization Organization 16387:2003) and selected Enchytraeus crypticus for these studies. Tests were conducted in Sassafras sandy loam soil, which supports relatively high bioavailability of nitroaromatic EMs. Weathering and aging procedures for EMs amended to test soil were incorporated into the study design to produce toxicity data that better reflect the soil exposure conditions in the field compared with toxicity in freshly amended soils. This included exposing hydrated, EM-amended soils in open glass containers in the greenhouse to alternating wetting and drying cycles. Definitive tests established that the order of EM toxicity to E. crypticus based on the median effect concentration values for juvenile production in either freshly amended or weathered and aged treatments was (from the greatest to least toxicity) TNB > 2,4-DNT > 2,6-DNT. Toxicity to E. crypticus juvenile production was significantly increased in 2,6-DNT weathered and aged soil treatments compared with toxicity in freshly amended soil, based on 95% confidence intervals. This result shows that future investigations should include a weathering and aging component to generate toxicity data that provide more complete information regarding ecotoxicological effects of energetic contaminants in soil.

AB - Perchlorate, which is highly soluble and is persistent in the environment, is being identified increasingly as a groundwater contaminant. Because perchlorate is biodegradable, a column study was conducted investigating the feasibility of in situ biodegradation of perchlorate using acetate as an organic substrate, which was necessary to stimulate biodegradation of perchlorate. Degradation of the perchlorate was rapid, with a minimal lag phase, once acetate was added to the column. By 72 h, complete removal of the perchlorate occurred (from 10 to <0.05 mg·L-1) within the first 15 cm of the column. The column was then allowed to reach steady-state degradation with an influent perchlorate concentration of 50 mg·L-1 and an influent acetate concentration of 100 mg·L-1. The perchlorate was removed in the first 7.5 cm of the column. Then, the acetate was removed. This study indicated that, although acetate is needed to stimulate perchlorate removal, residual activity remains as the acetate is removed, retarding the decline in performance. Upon the reintroduction of 10 mg·L-1 of acetate in the influent, rapid removal of perchlorate was quickly reestablished. Steady-state operation was compared at three loading rates. In each case, the perchlorate was degraded below 0.05 mg·L-1 within the first 7.5 cm of the column. Volumetric degradation rates for perchlorate were as high as 102.6 g·m-3·day-1, and the rate was completely dependent on the concentration for the loading rate tested. The column effluent was tested using analytical techniques with a method detection limit of 1 μg·L-1. For each loading, the effluent, on average, met the California action level of 6 μg·L-1.

AB - A series of column studies, with site-specific groundwater and aquifer material, were performed to evaluate the reductive biotransformation potential of different carbon sources (electron donors), and to assess the effects of aquifer temperature and the coexistence of inorganic electron acceptors on biologically induced reductive transformation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). All the carbon sources (acetate, ethanol, and soluble starch) studied achieved the necessary reducing conditions conducive for RDX biodegradation; however, only the addition of acetate did not exhibit any toxic effects. Lower temperatures significantly reduced the biological activity of an RDX-degrading mixed culture. The first-order biodegradation rate coefficients for RDX at 15, 10, and 5°C were 3.72, 2.35, and 1.46 per day, respectively. The calculated activation energy for RDX was 63.5 kJ/mol. Columns with acetate as the sole electron donor achieved 22–46% mineralization of initial radiocarbon to 14CO2, as compared to less than 5% in columns with no carbon source. Low sulfate (100 mg/L) levels temporarily delayed the onset of RDX biotransformation, while low nitrate (100 mg/L) levels drastically reduced the first-order biodegradation rate coefficient from 6.61 per day, obtained in the absence of nitrate, to 1.37 per day. High nitrate levels (500 mg/L) initially halted RDX removal completely, and significantly reduced the rate of RDX biotransformation to 0.48 per day with noticeable levels of untreated RDX in the effluent stream. Based on these findings a full-scale field demonstration of biologically active zone enhancement for RDX treatment in aquifers was implemented at the former Nebraska Ordnance plant in Mead, Neb., using acetate as a readily available carbon source.

AB - The micromodel is an extremely small physical river model having a movable bed, varying discharge, and numerous innovations to achieve quick answers to river engineering problems. In addition to its size being as small as 4 cm in channel width, the vertical scale distortion up to 20, Froude number exaggeration up to 3.7, and no correspondence of stage in model and prototype, place the micromodel in a category by itself. The writer was assigned to evaluate the micromodel’s capabilities and limitations to ensure proper application. A portion of this evaluation documents the deviation of the micromodel from similarity considerations used in previous movable bed models. The primary basis for this evaluation is the comparison of the micromodel to the prototype. The writer looked for comparisons that had (1) a reasonable calibration of the micromodel and (2) about the same river engineering structures constructed in the prototype that were tested in the micromodel and (3) a prediction by the micromodel of the approximate trends in the prototype. Evaluation of these comparisons shows a lack of predictive capability by the micromodel. Differences in micromodel and prototype likely result from uncertainty in prototype data and the large relaxations in similitude. Based on the lack of predictive evidence, the micromodel should be limited to demonstration, education, and communication for which it has been useful and should be of value to the profession.

AB - Respirator inspiratory and expiratory breathing resistances impact ventilation and performance when studied independently. However, it is less clear as to how various combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance affect user performance. The present study investigated the performance of 11 individuals during constant load, demanding work to exhaustion while wearing respirators with eight different combinations of inhalation and exhalation resistance. Exercise performance time, performance rating, minute volume, and peak inspiratory and expiratory airflow were recorded at the end of each test trial, and independent correlations with inhalation resistance and exhalation resistance were assessed. The combined impacts of respirator inhalation and exhalation resistances were quantified as the total external work of breathing (WOBtot) and correlations between the test variables and WOBtot were also examined. Significantly linear decreases in performance were found with increased inhalation resistances independent of exhalation resistance (R2 =0.99; p<0.001) and with increased WOBtot (R2 =0.92; p<0.001). Performance also decreased with increased exhalation resistance but no significant relationships were found. Minute volume decreased linearly with increased inhalation resistance independent of exhalation resistance (R2 =0.99; p<0.001), but the linear decrease observed between minute volume and WOBtot was weak (R2 =0.36; p<0.05). These findings suggest that WOBtot serves as a reliable estimate of the combined impacts of respirator inhalation and exhalation resistances on user performance during hard work, but that inhalation resistance alone serves as a better predictor of ventilation during respirator wear.

AB - Capping is a common remediation technology for the containment/stabilization of contaminated sediments. During capping activities, clean material is commonly released from a barge at the water surface and falls through the water column to the sediment surface, providing an uncontaminated surface sediment layer. Little information exists on the potential release of in situ contaminated sediments during and after capping operations. This paper focuses on the measured release of contaminants during capping events at Boston Harbor, Mass. (confined aquatic disposal cells for contaminated sediment) and Eagle Harbor, Wash. (creosote-contaminated sediment from a wood treating facility). The water column was sampled during capping events to evaluate whether cap placement resulted in the release of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)- or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)-contaminated sediments at Boston Harbor, or PAH-contaminated sediments at Eagle Harbor. Though results at both sites indicated some contaminant resuspension during capping operations, in general contaminant resuspension was relatively low for all capping events. PCB and PAH concentrations for most samples were in the low ng/L range. The most significant releases occurred when previously uncapped sediments were initially capped, and the magnitude of contaminant resuspension decreased with successive capping layers. These results may have important implications regarding sediment cap installation techniques and their potential impacts on water quality. Resuspension during capping may be minimized by placing cap material in lifts, where the first lift provides a uniform layer of clean material using techniques that minimize sediment disturbance and subsequent lifts are placed more aggressively once contaminated sediment is covered.

AB - In order to reduce future flood damage in the Red River of the North Basin, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, is developing a Corps Water Management System (CWMS) to assist in real-time operation of reservoirs to regulate reservoir outflows. This paper presents an application of the distributed snow process model (DSPM) and the Hydrologic Engineering Center’s Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) in gridded snowmelt and rainfall-runoff modeling for reservoir operational forecasting, which is an essential component of the CWMS model. The model setup, calibration, and verification are described. The paper particularly focuses on information requirements of DSPM and HEC-HMS for model setup/calibration and continuing forecast operations and shows how these requirements could be met in a practical and operational setting. Elements of the modeling process that are important for operational forecasting are discussed and are expected to benefit similar CWMS operational forecasting in other watersheds both in cold and warm regions.

AB - Based on a set of Chesapeake Bay Estuarine Model (CBEM) scenarios, a three-dimensional response surface of a water quality index, such as chlorophyll concentration, versus a pair of loading constituents, e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus, is constructed. The responses of water quality, such as dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and water clarity, to nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loads are analyzed. From the response surface, a water quality response is estimated under loading conditions beyond that of a limited set of scenarios. Response surfaces may be used to determine the possible universe of nutrient and sediment load reductions needed to obtain a particular water quality standard and to examine the tradeoffs among nutrient and sediment load reductions that achieve the same water quality objective.

AB - The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of alkaline hydrolysis as an alternative ex situ technology for remediating groundwater contaminated with hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). Treatment in both batch reactor and continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was investigated. RDX reactivity was strongly dependent on the reaction pH investigated (11–13). The batch system achieved pseudo-first-order RDX reaction rates in the range of (0.8–27.7)×10-3 min-1, corresponding to half-life periods of 17.9 to 0.5 h, respectively. In the CSTR system operated at the initial RDX concentration of 4.5×10-3 mM, 99% RDX removal was achieved with the hydraulic retention time of 2 days and the reaction pH of 11.9. Formate and nitrite were produced as the major hydrolysates in the CSTR system, indicating a simultaneous reaction mechanism involving RDX ring cleavage and elimination of the ring nitrogen. The net OH- demand used only for RDX removal in the CSTR was found to be 1.5, 390, and 130 MOH-/MRDXremoved at pH values of 11.9, 11.5, and 11.0, respectively. A conceptual cost analysis indicated that the expense of alkaline treatment may be comparable to the expense of granular activated carbon treatment for long treatment periods (30 years or more), due to the potentially lower annual operational cost of alkali treatment.

AB - Previously, it was shown that a one-dimensional, physics-based (conservation-law) computer model can provide a useful mathematical representation of the wind flow, temperatures, and turbulence inside and above a uniform forest stand. A key element of this calculation was a radiation and energy budget algorithm (implemented to predict the heat source). However, to keep the earlier publication brief, a full description of the radiation and energy budget algorithm was not given. Hence, this paper presents our equation set for calculating the incoming total radiation at the canopy top as well as the transmission, reflection, absorption, and emission of the solar flux through a forest stand. In addition, example model output is presented from three interesting numerical experiments, which were conducted to simulate the canopy microclimate for a forest stand that borders the Blossom Point Field Test Facility (located near La Plata, Maryland along the Potomac River). It is anticipated that the current numerical study will be useful to researchers and experimental planners who will be collecting acoustic and meteorological data at the Blossom Point Facility in the near future.

AB - Current uncertainties in our understanding of ecosystems require shifting from optimization-based management to an adaptive management paradigm. Risk managers routinely make suboptimal decisions because they are forced to predict environmental response to different management policies in the face of complex environmental challenges, changing environmental conditions, and even changing social priorities. Rather than force risk managers to make single suboptimal management choices, adaptive management explicitly acknowledges the uncertainties at the time of the decision, providing mechanisms to design and institute a set of more flexible alternatives that can be monitored to gain information and reduce the uncertainties associated with future management decisions. Although adaptive management concepts were introduced more than 20 y ago, their implementation has often been limited or piecemeal, especially in remedial decision making. We believe that viable tools exist for using adaptive management more fully. In this commentary, we propose that an adaptive management approach combined with multicriteria decision analysis techniques would result in a more efficient management decision-making process as well as more effective environmental management strategies. A preliminary framework combining the 2 concepts is proposed for future testing and discussion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Confined aquatic disposal (CAD) cells are increasingly becoming the selected option for the management of unacceptably contaminated sediments. CAD cells are selected as the preferred alternative because this approach provides an acceptable compromise when cost, logistics, regulatory acceptance, environmental risk, and perception of various alternatives are considered. This preference for CAD ceils often occurs even when other alternatives with similar risk reduction and less cost, such as an open water capping alternative, are considered as options.

AB - Determining a remeasurement frequency of variables over time is required in monitoring environmental systems. This article demonstrates methods based on regression modeling and spatio-temporal variability to determine the time interval to remeasure the ground and vegetation cover factor on permanent plots for monitoring a soil erosion system. The spatio-temporal variability methods include use of historical data to predict semivariograms, modeling average temporal variability, and temporal interpolation by two-step kriging. The results show that for the cover factor, the relative errors of the prediction increase with an increased length of time interval between remeasurements when using the regression and semivariogram models. Given precision or accuracy requirements, appropriate time intervals can be determined. However, the remeasurement frequency also varies depending on the prediction interval time. As an alternative method, the range parameter of a semivariogram model can be used to quantify average temporal variability that approximates the maximum time interval between remeasurements. This method is simpler than regression and semivariogram modeling, but it requires a long-term dataset based on permanent plots. In addition, the temporal interpolation by two-step kriging is also used to determine the time interval. This method is applicable when remeasurements in time are not sufficient. If spatial and temporal remeasurements are sufficient, it can be expanded and applied to design spatial and temporal sampling simultaneously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The article offers suggestions for proper handling and use of documentary exhibits at trial. As mentioned, handling and using documents in the courtroom need not be complicated, provided counsel follow certain basic rules established in the U.S. Manual for Courts Martial and the Rules of Practice Before Army Courts-Martial. As suggested, one should start by choosing documents carefully and understand the purpose behind each document.

AB - The article focuses on post-trial delay in appellate decisions in military justice. It has been argued that the appellate courts should stop wandering the Möbius strip path and instead continue to apply the prejudice test to post-trial delay. As mentioned, the courts should adhere to this standard as post-trial delay does not normally affect the findings or the sentence in each case and those cases without prejudice should not receive relief for what amounts to an administrative delay.

AB - This study investigated the role of peer mentoring and voluntary self-development activities (i.e., capitalization) in anchoring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics students to their college majors. Online data were collected from 214 undergraduate students. As hypothesized, mentoring was positively related to capitalization, and both mentoring and capitalization were positively related to satisfaction with one's major, affective commitment to one's major, involvement in one's major, and willingness to be a mentor. Contrary to expectations, capitalization did not mediate the relationship between peer reentering and student outcomes, suggesting that these constructs contribute independently to positive outcomes. Implications and future research directions are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background and Purpose: Athletes reporting chest pain are challenging to diagnose and equally challenging to treat. The majority of chest pain is musculoskeletal in origin, yet differentiating these from other more serious conditions should be the initial primary focus. The ability to reproduce the patient's symptoms aids in the differential diagnostic process. The purpose of this case report is to illustrate the use of dry needling (DN) to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of focal chest wall pain. Case Descriptions: A 22 year-old male military athlete with anterior chest pain, refractory to traditional physical therapy, was evaluated and treated with dry needling.Outcomes: Favorable results were achieved as demonstrated by clinically meaningful improvements in the Patient Specific Functional Scale, the Global Rating of Change score, and his physical performance which allowed this athlete to return to competition and military training. Conclusion: Dry needling in the hands of properly trained providers may aid in diagnosis and treatment of focal chest wall syndromes. Level of Evidence: Therapy, Level 4

AB - The recent growth of agent-based software systems was achieved without the development of a reference architecture. From a software engineering standpoint, a reference architecture is necessary to compare, evaluate, and integrate past, current, and future agent-based software systems. The agent systems reference architecture (ASRA) advances the agent-based system development process by providing a set of key interaction patterns for functional areas that exist between the layers and protocols of agent-based systems. Furthermore, the ASRA identifies the points for interoperability between agent-based systems and increases the level of discussion when referring to agent-based systems. This paper presents methodology, grounded in software forensics, to develop the ASRA and provides an overview of the resulting architectural representation. The methodology uses an approach based on software engineering techniques adapted to study agent frameworks—the libraries and tools for building agent systems. The resulting ASRA can serve as an abstract representation of the components necessary for facilitating comparison, integration, and interoperation of software systems composed of agents.

They posited that participants rotate mental images to achieve a match and that mental rotation recruits motor processes. This interpretation has become central in the literature, but until now, surprisingly few researchers have compared mental and physical rotation. We had participants rotate virtual Shepard and Metzler figures mentally and physically; response time, accuracy, and real-time rotation data were collected. Results suggest that mental and physical rotation processes overlap and also reveal novel conclusions about physical rotation that have implications for mental rotation. Notably, participants did not rotate figures to achieve a match, but rather until they reached an off-axis canonical difference, and rotational strategies markedly differed for judgments of whether the figures were the same or different.

AB - The aim of this study was to explore the utility of "omics" approaches in monitoring aquatic environments where complex, often unknown stressors make chemical-specific risk assessment untenable. We examined changes in the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) ovarian transcriptome following 4-day exposures conducted at three sites in Minnesota (MN, USA). Within each site, fish were exposed to water from three locations along a spatial gradient relative to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharge. After exposure, site-specific impacts on gene expression in ovaries were assessed. Using an intragradient point of comparison, biological responses specifically associated with the WWTP effluent were identified using functional enrichment analyses. Fish exposed to water from locations downstream of the effluent discharges exhibited many transcriptomic responses in common with those exposed to the effluent, indicating that effects of the discharge do not fully dissipate downstream. Functional analyses showed a range of biological pathways impacted through effluent exposure at all three sites. Several of those impacted pathways at each site could be linked to potential adverse reproductive outcomes associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in female fathead minnows, specifically signaling pathways associated with oocyte meiosis, TGF-beta signaling, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and epidermal growth factor receptor family (ErbB), and gene sets associated with cyclin B-1 and metalloproteinase. The utility of this approach comes from the ability to identify biological responses to pollutant exposure, particularly those that can be tied to adverse outcomes at the population level and those that identify molecular targets for future studies.

AB - Expanded use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in consumer products increases the potential for environmental release and unintended biological exposures. As a result, measurement techniques are needed to accurately quantify ENP size, mass, and particle number distributions in biological matrices. This work combines single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICPMS) with tissue extraction to quantify and characterize metallic ENPs in environmentally relevant biological tissues for the first time. ENPs were extracted from tissues via alkaline digestion using tetramethylarnmonium hydroxide (TMAH). Method development was performed using ground beef and was verified in Daphnia magna and Lumbriculus variegatus. ENPs investigated include 100 and 60 nm Au and Ag stabilized by polyvynylpyrrolidone (PVP). Mass- and number-based recovery of spiked Au and Ag ENPs was high (83-121%) from all tissues tested. Additional experiments suggested ENP mixtures (60 and 100 nm Ag ENPs) could be extracted and quantitatively analyzed. Biological exposures were also conducted to verify the applicability of the method for aquatic organisms. Size distributions and particle number concentrations were determined for ENPs extracted from D. magna exposed to 98 μg/L 100 nm Au and 4.8 μg/L 100 nm Ag ENPs. The D. magna nanoparticulate body burden for Au ENP uptake was 613 ± 230 μg/kgww, while the measured nanoparticulate body burden for D. magna exposed to Ag ENPs was 59 ± 52 μg/kgww Notably, the particle size distributions determined from D. magna tissues suggested minimal shifts in the size distributions of ENPs accumulated, as compared to die exposure media.

AB - Abstract: Composites of a polymer–matrix reinforced by polymer ribbon monofilaments are investigated as mechanically robust, transparent composite materials. Transparent nylon monofilaments are mechanically worked to form flattened nylon ribbons, which are then combined with index-matched epoxy resin to create transparent composites. A range of optical and mechanical experiments are performed on composites and surrogate systems in order to quantify properties and guide system design. The results show that these polymer–polymer composites provide good transparency over a wide temperature range, and superior ballistic penetration resistance compared to monolithic transparent polymers.

AB - Introduction: Little data exist regarding the long-term impact of excess weight on lower extremity musculoskeletal injury/disorder (MID) in U.S. Army Soldiers. This prospective analysis examines the association between BMI of Soldiers at accession and risk of MID.Methods: A total of 736,608 Soldiers were followed from accession into the Army, 2001-2011. Data were analyzed January through March 2015. MID was categorized as any first incident lower extremity musculoskeletal injury/disorder, and secondarily, as first incident injury/disorder at a specific site (i.e., hips, upper legs/thighs, knees, lower legs/ankles, feet/toes). Multivariable-adjusted proportional hazards models estimated associations between BMI category at accession and MID risk.Results: During 15,678,743 person-months of follow-up, 411,413 cases of any first MID were documented (70,578 hip, 77,050 upper leg, 162,041 knee, 338,080 lower leg, and 100,935 foot injuries in secondary analyses). The overall MID rate was 2.62 per 100 person-months. Relative to Soldiers with normal BMI (18.5 to <25 kg/m(2)) at accession, those who were underweight (<18.5); overweight (25 to <30); or obese (≥30) had 7%, 11%, and 33% higher risk of MID, respectively, after adjustment. Risks were highest in Soldiers who were obese at accession, and lowest in those with a BMI of 21-23 kg/m(2).Conclusions: Soldier BMI at accession has important implications for MID. A BMI of 21-23 kg/m(2) in newly accessing Soldiers was associated with the lowest risk of incident MID, suggesting that accession be limited to people within this range to reduce overall incidence of MID among service personnel.

AB - The purpose of this study was to longitudinally investigate PTSD and depression between Reserve, National Guard, and active duty continuously and dichotomously. The study consisted of Millennium Cohort Study participants and used self-reported symptoms. Repeated measures modeling assessed PTSD and depression continuously and dichotomously over time. A subanalysis among only recently deployed personnel was conducted. Of the 52,653 participants for the PTSD analysis, the adjusted PCL-C means were 34.6 for Reservists, 34.4 for National Guardsmen, and 34.7 for active duty members, respectively. Of the 53,073 participants for depression analysis, the adjusted PHQ-9 means were 6.8, 6.7, and 7.2, respectively. In dichotomous models, Reservists and National Guardsmen did not have a higher risk of PTSD or depression compared with active duty members. Among deployers, Reservists and National Guardsmen had higher odds (odds ratio = 1.16, 95% confidence limit [CL] [1.01, 1.34] and OR = 1.19, 95% CL [1.04, 1.36], respectively) of screening positive for PTSD, but not depression. Although Reserve and National Guard deployers had modestly increased odds of PTSD compared with active duty members, overall there were minimal differences in the risk and symptom scores of PTSD and depression between service components.

AB - The study of attrition has largely focused on identifying demographic or biographic characteristics that predict whether soldiers complete their enlistment term. As a result, much is known about who attrites. Less is known about why soldiers attrite. This research assessed the influence of two psychological factors on U.S. Army soldier attrition: self-reported confidence that one could complete one’s term of service and ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. The study sample consisted of first-term enlisted soldiers (N = 14,808) who were respondents to Army surveys. Results of fitting three longitudinal models indicated that confidence in being able to complete one’s term of obligation was more predictive of attrition for those reporting greater ambivalence regarding the decision to enlist. This effect was significant throughout a 3-year period. This work adds to our understanding of attrition by highlighting the role of confidence and ambivalence. Implications for strategies to reduce attrition are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved). (journal abstract)

AB - An adequate configuration of the military ethic, which encompasses the U.S. Army’s professional and ethical self-understanding, should integrate the soldier’s ethicopolitical obligations toward the indigenous other; that is, the person who lives where soldiers are deployed. The argument first posits a distinction between cosmopolitan and patriotic configurations of the soldier’s obligations. David Petraeus’s counterinsurgency guidance typifies the former; Matthew Moten’s configuration of the professional military ethic typifies the latter. Second, Hannah Arendt’s distinction between Work and Action instructs that one does not “build” a polity; political foundations are fugitive and unpredictable. Third, considering Arendt’s theory and current missions, the soldier as a political agent cannot produce stability or build a nation with instrumental certitude; however, the soldier can foster conditions and intervene in ways to nudge circumstances toward a better state of affairs. Finally, military professionals should cultivate a cosmopolitan attitude informed by William Connolly’s ethos of engagement to help them fulfill their obligations to the other.

AB - Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) causes lethal shock by potently stimulating the host immune response. Dexamethasone and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) are anti-inflammatory and antioxidative drugs, respectively, which can independently modulate immune function. Dexamethasone was previously shown to be effective in preventing SEB-induced shock models only if administered early and in multiple doses for a long duration. In this study, dexamethasone and NAC were used in tandem and protected mice (75%) against SEB-induced lethal shock. Hypothermia and weight loss elicited by SEB were also diminished by this novel combination treatment. The levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and mouse gamma interferon in lung tissue after intranasal exposure to SEB were also significantly reduced in mice given a combination of dexamethasone and NAC versus controls.

AB - Army uniformed social workers perform as members of the Army Medical Department's team of health care providers. Uniformed social workers of the past and those of today are involved in ensuring the well-being of soldiers and their families during peace and war. The training and development of the post-MSW social worker is an area lacking attention in the literature. This article focuses on an innovative military post-MSW training program that simultaneously prepares the social worker for clinical work in multiple military practice areas while also preparing the trainee for independent social work licensure. In the 4 years since implementation, this 2-year training program has become the model for the professional development of new uniformed Army social workers.

AB - Soldiers in the U.S. Army are deployed more often and for longer than they were in the past. This deployment tempo can have negative effects on the physical and psychological well-being of soldiers and their families. In this article, we examine how changes to the structure of work schedules in a U.S. Army brigade can ameliorate negative effects from an increased deployment tempo. The authors present research from a quasi-experimental design that measures soldier opinions before and after changing their work schedule. The results indicate that schedule changes had a positive effect for some junior-enlisted personnel and did not, on average, adversely affect the social and health outcomes of non-commissioned officers.

AB - In 2010, the Department of the Army implemented the Comprehensive Behavioral Health System of Care Campaign Plan designed, in part, to create a seamless system of behavioral health care. To execute the directive's intent to screen deployed soldiers at risk for domestic violence, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse, Tripler Army Medical Center deployed a fourperson behavioral health team to Iraq to assist in screening soldiers preparing to redeploy home. This article describes the process employed by the team to conduct the mission and discusses strategies to assist at-risk soldiers to access care after a combat deployment.

AB - Environmental heat illness and injuries are a serious concern for the Army and Marines. Currently, the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index is used to evaluate heat injury risk. The index is a weighted average of dry-bulb temperature (Tdb), black globe temperature (Tbg), and natural wet-bulb temperature (Tnwb). The WBGT index would be more widely used if it could be determined using standard weather instruments. This study compares models developed by Liljegren at Argonne National Laboratory and by Matthew at the U.S. Army Institute of Environmental Medicine that calculate WBGT using standard meteorological measurements. Both models use air temperature (Ta), relative humidity, wind speed, and global solar radiation (RG) to calculate Tnwb and Tbg. The WBGT and meteorological data used for model validation were collected at Griffin, Georgia and Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Arizona. Liljegren (YPG: R(2) = 0.709, p < 0.01; Griffin: R(2) = 0.854, p < 0.01) showed closer agreement between calculated and actual WBGT than Matthew (YPG: R(2) = 0.630, p < 0.01; Griffin: R(2) = 0.677, p < 0.01). Compared to actual WBGT heat categorization, the Matthew model tended to underpredict compared to Liljegren's classification. Results indicate Liljegren is an acceptable alternative to direct WBGT measurement, but verification under other environmental conditions is needed.

AB - BACKGROUND: Increasing numbers of Staphylococcus aureus infections demonstrate antibiotic resistance. Military populations experiencing crowding are at increased risk of community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. High prevalence of CA-MRSA infection among Army personnel was previously documented at Fort Benning, GA from 2002 to 2007. PURPOSE: To ascertain recent CA-MRSA trends at Fort Benning regarding antibiotic susceptibility, infection rates, and treatment regimens among Army personnel. METHODS: Incident CA-MRSA cases among active duty members/trainees from January 2008 to December 2010 were identified using active surveillance and laboratory data. RESULTS: In total, 2,171 infections were identified, representing 5,794 CA-MRSA-related clinic visits. Annual rates decreased from 33 to 27 infections per 1,000 soldiers from 2008 to 2010. Approximately 78% of isolates were from training units. Approximately 4% of infections required hospitalization. Most infections (97%) were treated with antibiotics (36% received antibiotics and wound drainage). Antibiotic susceptibility patterns remained comparable to previous assessments. CONCLUSION: The observed decline in CA-MRSA rates and associated hospitalizations, coupled with stable antibiotic susceptibility patterns, is encouraging. Passive surveillance using laboratory records proved useful in identifying infection and could enhance detection across training sites. Given the continued high CA-MRSA prevalence among trainees, providers/public health personnel should remain vigilant to bolster prevention, detection, and treatment efforts.

AB - This article examines how the U.S. Army came to adopt the physical profile. In 1945, the Army adopted the physical profile system that has, with some changes, survived to this day. Although the profile system does not always work smoothly, it replaced a system that was failing completely to deliver physically fit men to combat units. The World War II problems were the outgrowth of two World War I systems that had been adopted to speed mobilization by (1) accepting physically substandard men and (2) matching men to a noncombat job by their skills. By simply identifying a soldier as 'General Service' or 'Limited Service' it did not provide enough information about his limitations. In addition, the Army used an intelligence test to grade manpower, but because it lacked information on a man's physical abilities/limitations, that data were misused to allot manpower. These policies interacted with a societal disdain for the 'handicapped' and 'substandard' and made it hard to use Limited Service men. Adding detail to the information on physical abilities was the Army's solution.

AB - Background. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent that reduces blood loss during surgery, decreases mortality in civilian and military trauma populations, was adopted for prehospital use by the British military, and is now issued to U.S. Special Operations Forces for use on the battlefield. Objective. This study tested whether storage of TXA ampoules at four temperatures (-20°C, 4°C, 22°C, or 50°C) for 1, 2, 4, and 12 weeks would result in chemical degradation and the loss of activity to block streptokinase-induced fibrinolysis in human plasma. Methods. For each temperature and storage duration, normal plasma, plasma plus streptokinase (SK) (50 units/mL), and plasma + SK + TXA (0.2 μg/mL, n = 4) were tested for D-dimer (DD), for fibrin degradation products (FDP), by thromboelastography (to measure the units/mL of SK needed to get 100% fibrinolysis at 60 minutes [LY60]), and by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results were similar for all temperatures and storage durations, and were therefore combined. Results. Streptokinase led to a rise in LY60, DD, and FDP that was significantly (p < 0.05) attenuated with TXA. The results in the three test conditions were LY60: 0.00% ± 0.00%, 70.52% ± 4.7%, 0.02% ± 0.01%; DD: 0.23 ± 0.1, 205.05 ± 101.59, 0.31 ± 0.01 mg/L; and FDP: <10, >40, and <10 μg/mL, respectively. The HPLC results showed no chemical breakdown of TXA. All TXA glass ampoules at -20°C were cracked by week 1. Conclusions. Except for the finding that TXA ampoules cracked when frozen, this study indicated that the drug remains effective when stored under conditions likely to be encountered in the prehospital environment and outside the manufacturer's recommended temperature range for at least 12 weeks.

AB - Abstract: Background: While cervical spine injury biomechanics reviews in motor vehicle and sports environments are available, there is a paucity of studies in military loadings. This article presents an analysis on the biomechanics and applications of cervical spine injury research with an emphasis on human tolerance for underbody blast loadings in the military. Methods: Following a brief review of published military studies on the occurrence and identification of field trauma, postmortem human subject investigations are described using whole body, intact head–neck complex, osteo-ligamentous cervical spine with head, subaxial cervical column, and isolated segments subjected to differing types of dynamic loadings (electrohydraulic and pendulum impact devices, free-fall drops). Findings: Spine injuries have shown an increasing trend over the years, explosive devices are one of the primary causal agents and trauma is attributed to vertical loads. Injuries, mechanisms and tolerances are discussed under these loads. Probability-based injury risk curves are included based on loading rate, direction and age. Interpretation: A unique advantage of human cadaver tests is the ability to obtain fundamental data to delineate injury biomechanics and establish human tolerance and injury criteria. Definitions of tolerances of the spine under vertical loads based on injuries have implications in clinical and biomechanical applications. Primary outputs such as forces and moments can be used to derive secondary variables such as the neck injury criterion. Implications are discussed for designing anthropomorphic test devices that may be used to predict injuries in underbody blast environments and improve the safety of military personnel.

AB - Background Previous studies document the therapeutic potential of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rh BMP-2) in an absorbable collagen sponge ( ACS) carrier for indications in the axial and appendicular skeleton. Nevertheless, the ACS does not comprise structural integrity to adequately support bone formation for onlay indications. The objective of this study was to evaluate local bone formation and osseointegration following surgical implantation of rh BMP-2 soak-loaded onto a compression resistant matrix ( CRM). Methods Routine, contralateral, critical-size, supraalveolar, peri-implant defects in five adult male Hound Labrador mongrel dogs received 0.8 mg rh BMP-2 soak-loaded onto either the ACS (benchmark control) or a CRM (collagen/ β- TCP/hydroxyapatite) followed by submerged wound closure for primary intention healing. The animals were euthanized at 8 weeks for histologic/histometric evaluation. Results Healing was uneventful albeit considerable initial swelling was observed for either treatment. Sites receiving rh BMP-2/ CRM showed significantly increased bone area (20.0 ± 0.9 versus 12.3 ± 2.6 mm2, p = 0.03) and bone density (24.1 ± 1.4% versus 14.6 ± 2.0%, p = 0.04) compared with those receiving rh BMP-2/ ACS. There were no significant differences between treatments for new bone height and osseointegration. Woven and lamellar trabecular bone lined with abundant osteoid was observed for all sites. Inconsistent cortex formation confirmed the immature nature of the newly formed bone. Seroma formation was observed for both treatments (80-100% of the animals/implants). Sites receiving rh BMP-2/ CRM showed residual ceramic granules undergoing biodegradation, including accumulation of foamy macrophages. Conclusions rh BMP-2/ CRM supports bone formation of clinically relevant geometry. Longer observation intervals as well as dose variations appear necessary to capture maturation of the newly formed bone, elimination of residual ceramic granules and resolution of seroma formation(s).

AB - BACKGROUND: Tourniquet use recently became common in war, but knowledge gaps remain regarding analysis of recovered devices. The purpose of this study was to analyze tourniquets to identify opportunities for improved training. METHODS: We analyzed tourniquets recovered from deceased service members serving in support of recent combat operations by a team at Dover Air Force Base from 2010 to 2012. Device makes and models, breakage, deformation, band routing, and windlass turn numbers were counted. RESULTS: We recovered 824 tourniquets; 390 were used in care and 434 were carried unused. Most tourniquets were recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (Combat Application Tourniquet [CAT] or Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet). The band was routed once through the buckle in 37% of used CATs, twice in 62%, and 1% had none. For tourniquets with data, the windlass turn number averaged 3.2 (range, 0-9). The CAT windlass turn number was associated positively with tourniquet deformation as moderate or severe deformation began at 2 turns, increased in likelihood stepwise with each turn, and became omnipresent at 7 or more. CONCLUSIONS: Tourniquet counts, band routings, windlass turn numbers, and deformation rates are candidate topics for instructors to refine training.

AB - BACKGROUND: The Combat Ready Clamp is indicated to stop difficult inguinal bleeding on the battlefield, the most common type of junctional bleeding and now the most common cause of preventable battlefield death. The purpose of the present study is to report the data of clamp development to help appliers use it correctly. METHODS: Wake Forest University investigators used a cadaver model to test the clamp's ability to control hemorrhage. Ten fresh cadavers were made to simulate inguinal and popliteal wound bleeding. Blood simulant was pumped to quantify device effectiveness in testing. Points of application included proximal pressure point control of popliteal, inguinal, and bilateral bleeding. RESULTS: Clamp use promptly controlled pulsing arterial hemorrhages from inguinal, popliteal, and bilateral wounds. The device, when placed on the common iliac artery, stopped all ipsilateral distal bleeding. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of how the clamp works in the cadaver model showed that clamp use can plausibly be tailored to control inguinal hemorrhage from one wound, control two ipsilateral wounds with hemorrhage from one artery (e.g., common iliac artery), and control bilateral inguinal wounds (compression of the origins of bilateral common iliac arteries).

AB - To-date, there has been no international review of mental health resilience training during Basic Training nor an assessment of what service members perceive as useful from their perspective. In response to this knowledge gap, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Human Factors & Medicine Research & Technology Task Group 'Mental Health Training' initiated a survey and interview with seven to twenty recruits from nine nations to inform the development of such training (N = 121). All nations provided data from soldiers joining the military as volunteers, whereas two nations also provided data from conscripts. Results from the volunteer data showed relatively consistent ranking in terms of perceived demands, coping strategies, and preferences for resilience skill training across the nations. Analysis of data from conscripts identified a select number of differences compared to volunteers. Subjects also provided examples of coping with stress during Basic Training that can be used in future training; themes are presented here. Results are designed to show the kinds of demands facing new recruits and coping methods used to overcome these demands to develop relevant resilience training for NATO nations.

AB - Background: Refrigeration of platelets (PLTs) offers an attractive alternative to the currently practiced storage at room temperature since it may mitigate problems associated with bacterial contamination and extend storage lifetime. Refrigeration causes a number of biophysical and biochemical changes in PLTs and decreases PLT circulation time in vivo. However, the effect of refrigeration on PLT hemostatic functions under physiologic and pathophysiologic shear conditions has not been adequately characterized.Study Design and Methods: Washed PLTs prepared from either fresh PLT-rich plasma (PRP) or PRP stored at 4°C for 2 days was mixed with exogenous von Willebrand factor (VWF) and fibrinogen and sheared in a cone-and-plate viscometer. PLT aggregation, activation, and VWF binding after shear and glycoprotein (GP) Ibα receptor expression and ristocetin-induced PLT agglutination were measured.Results: PLTs stored at 4°C for 2 days aggregated significantly more than fresh PLTs particularly at high shear rates (10,000/sec), and this increase was independent of PLT concentration or suspension viscosity. Further, refrigerated PLTs showed a greater increase in GP Ibα-dependent PLT activation under shear and also bound more VWF than fresh PLTs. However, the GP Ibα expression levels as measured by three different antibodies were significantly lower in refrigerated PLTs than in fresh PLTs, and refrigeration resulted in a modest decrease in ristocetin-induced PLT agglutination.Conclusion: The combined results demonstrate that refrigeration increases PLT aggregation under high shear, but not static, conditions and also increases shear-induced VWF binding and PLT activation. Clinically, enhanced shear-induced PLT aggregation due to low temperature storage may be a beneficial strategy to prevent severe bleeding in trauma.

AB - Since 2004, suicides in the U.S. military have risen, most notably in the Army National Guard (ARNG). Data used in this study were obtained for suicides occurring from 2007 to 2010 and for a random sample of nonsuicides from the general ARNG population. Of the military-related variables considered, a few showed relationships to suicide. Rather, the primary variables associated with suicide were soldier background characteristics, including age (17-24 years), race (White), and gender (male). Cluster analysis revealed two distinct suicide groups: 'careerists' (about one third of all suicides) and 'first-termers' (about two thirds of all suicides), each group exhibiting different concurrent behavioral problems.

AB - Sustainable management of contaminated sediments requires careful prioritization of available resources and focuses on efforts to optimize decisions that consider environmental, economic, and societal aspects simultaneously. This may be achieved by combining different analytical approaches such as risk analysis (RA), life cycle analysis (LCA), multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA), and economic valuation methods. We propose the use of stochastic MCDA based on outranking algorithms to implement integrative sustainability strategies for sediment management. In this paper we use the method to select the best sediment management alternatives for the dibenzo-p-dioxin and -furan (PCDD/F) contaminated Grenland fjord in Norway. In the analysis, the benefits of health risk reductions and socio-economic benefits from removing seafood health advisories are evaluated against the detriments of remedial costs and life cycle environmental impacts. A value-plural based weighing of criteria is compared to criteria weights mimicking traditional cost-effectiveness (CEA) and cost-benefit (CBA) analyses. Capping highly contaminated areas in the inner or outer fjord is identified as the most preferable remediation alternative under all criteria schemes and the results are confirmed by a probabilistic sensitivity analysis. The proposed methodology can serve as a flexible framework for future decision support and can be a step toward more sustainable decision making for contaminated sediment management. It may be applicable to the broader field of ecosystem restoration for trade-off analysis between ecosystem services and restoration costs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study was designed to investigate the effects of weaning age on specific components of the adaptive immune system in pigs. Twenty-three crossbred pigs were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments: weaning at 14 (14D, n = 8), 21 (21D, n = 7), or 28 (28D, n = 8) d of age. Peripheral blood samples, obtained when pigs were 13, 15, 20, 22, 27, 29, and 35 d of age, were analyzed for peripheral blood cell percentages and concentrations of neutrophils, lymphocytes, T cell subsets, mature B cells, and plasma cortisol concentrations. For each of the 3 groups, weaning increased plasma cortisol concentrations (P < 0.001) and reduced BW percentage change (P < 0.017). Lymphocyte concentrations displayed a treatment effect for the 14D (P = 0.074) and 28D (P = 0.014) groups. Albeit inconsistent, lymphocyte concentrations were less in weaned pigs on the day after weaning than in pigs remaining on the sow or weaned at a younger age. Specifically, mature B cells (CD21+) and CD4+CD8+ cells decreased (P < 0.05) after weaning at 28 d of age. Other differences occurred among treatments; however, the differences apparently were not associated with weaning. Based upon the immunological measures used in the present study, there was not an explicit benefit to the adaptive immune system for any weaning age. Early weaning did not negatively affect the adaptive immunological competence of pigs as determined by changes in populations of immune cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A series of laboratory experiments was conducted under realistic environmental conditions to test the ability of the Diffusive Gradient in Thin film (DGT) technique to mimic monomethylmercury (MMHg) bioaccumulation by a clam (Macoma balthica, Baltic clam). Using isotope enriched MMHg as tracers, bioavailability was determined by comparing the rate of MMHg uptake by novel DGT devices and sentinel organism over time. Experiments were conducted under varying conditions of salinity and MMHg speciation. Depending on MMHg level and speciation in the dissolved phase, MMHg uptake rates by the sentinel organism varied greatly from 0.4 to 2.4Lg−1 d−1. Reproducibilities of MMHg uptakes by DGT and clams were estimated at 7 and 38%, respectively. A significant linear relationship (log basis) between MMHg accumulation by DGT and clams was observed (r2 =0.89). The study demonstrates that DGT results reasonably predict MMHg uptake by clams from the aqueous phase and provide the basis for application of the DGT device as a surrogate for sentinel organism for monitoring bioavailable MMHg.

AB - The earthworm Eisenia fetida is one of the most used species in standardized soil ecotoxicity tests. End points such as survival, growth, and reproduction are eco-toxicologically relevant but provide little mechanistic insight into toxicity pathways, especially at the molecular level. Here we apply a toxicogenomic approach to investigate the mode of action underlying the reversible neurotoxicity of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), a cyclic nitroamine explosives compound. We developed an E. fetida-specific shotgun microarray targeting 15119 unique E. fetida transcripts. Using this array we profiled gene expression in E. fetida in response to exposure to CL-20. Eighteen earthworms were exposed for 6 days to 0.2 μg/cm² of CL-20 on filter paper, half of which were allowed to recover in a clean environment for 7 days. Nine vehicle control earthworms were sacrificed at days 6 and 13, separately. Electrophysiological measurements indicated that the conduction velocity of earthworm medial giant nerve fiber decreased significantly after 6-day exposure to CL-20, but was restored after 7 days of recovery. Total RNA was isolated from the four treatment groups including 6-day control, 6-day exposed, 13-day control, and 13-day exposed (i.e., 6-day exposure followed by 7-day recovery), and was hybridized to the 15K shotgun oligo array. Statistical and bioinformatic analyses suggest that CL-20 initiated neurotoxicity by noncompetitively blocking the ligand-gated GABAA receptor ion channel, leading to altered expression of genes involved in GABAergic, cholinergic, and Agrin-MuSK pathways. In the recovery phase, expression of affected genes returned to normality, possibly as a result of autophagy and CL-20 dissociation/metabolism. This study provides significant insights into potential mechanisms of CL-20-induced neurotoxicity and the recovery of earthworms from transient neurotoxicity stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Manganese (Mn) oxides are among the strongest mineral oxidants in the environment and impose significant influence on mobility and bioavailability of redox-active substances, such as arsenic, chromium, and pharmaceutical products, through oxidation processes. Oxidizing potentials of Mn oxides are determined by Mn valence states (2+, 3+, 4+). In this study, the effects of beam damage during electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in the transmission electron microscope have been investigated to determine the "safe dose" of electrons. Time series analyses determined the safe dose fluence (electrons/nm²) for todorokite (106 e/nm²), acid birnessite (105), triclinic birnessite (104), randomly stacked birnessite (10³), and δ-MnO2 (<10³) at 200 kV. The results show that meaningful estimates of the mean Mn valence can be acquired by EELS if proper care is taken. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Aims/hypothesis: To evaluate whether vaccination increases the risk of type 1 diabetes mellitus in active component U.S. military personnel. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among active component U.S. military personnel age 17–35 years. Individuals with first time diagnoses of type 1 diabetes between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2008 were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes. We used Poisson regression to estimate risk ratios between individual vaccine exposures and type 1 diabetes. Secondary analyses were performed controlling for receipt of multiple vaccines and available demographic variables. Results: Our study population consisted of 2,385,102 individuals followed for approximately 7,644,098 person-years of service. This included 1074 incident type 1 diabetes cases. We observed no significant increased risk of type 1 diabetes after vaccination with anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) [RR=1.00; 95% CI (0.85, 1.17)], smallpox vaccine [RR=0.84; 95% (CI 0.70, 1.01)], typhoid vaccine [RR=1.03; 95% CI (0.87, 1.22)], hepatitis B vaccine [RR=0.83; 95% CI (0.72, 0.95)], measles mumps rubella vaccine (MMR) [RR=0.71, 95% CI (0.61, 0.83)], or yellow fever vaccine [RR=0.70; 95% CI (0.59, 0.82)]. Conclusions: We did not find an increased risk of diagnosed type 1 diabetes and any of the study vaccines. We recommend that follow-up studies using medical record review to confirm case status should be considered to corroborate these findings. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Catalytic partial oxidation of isobutanol was investigated at various contact times and equivalence ratios for the purpose of H2 production. This reaction was studied using a γ-Al2O3 coated foam as a catalyst, as well as a similar foam with rhodium (Rh) added. The results show that little H2 is produced when the Rh is absent, whereas selectivities as high as 62.92% were achieved (80% is the theoretical maximum) with the noble metal present. The alumina catalyst also displays no complete combustion regime for fuel lean combustion; instead, olefins, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water are the dominant products at all equivalence ratios. Additional results from catalytic partial oxidation of isobutene suggest that isobutene could be an intermediate during catalytic partial oxidation of isobutanol. With approximately 8.25 W of isobutanol, 3.61 W of H2 can be attained with the Rh catalyst for use in small power devices, such as a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The corresponding fuel-to-electricity efficiency was about 20.8%. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Effects of bisphenol A (BPA) on ovarian transcript profiles as well as targeted end points with endocrine/reproductive relevance were examined in two fish species, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) and zebrafish (Danio rerio), exposed in parallel using matched experimental designs. Four days of waterborne exposure to 10 μg BPA/L caused significant vitellogenin induction in both species. However, zebrafish were less sensitive to effects on hepatic gene expression and steroid production than fathead minnow and the magnitude of vitellogenin induction was more modest (i.e., 3-fold compared to 13?000-fold in fathead minnow). The concentration-response at the ovarian transcriptome level was nonmonotonic and violated assumptions that underlie proposed methods for estimating hazard thresholds from transcriptomic results. However, the nonmonotonic profile was consistent among species and there were nominal similarities in the functions associated with the differentially expressed genes, suggesting potential activation of common pathway perturbation motifs in both species. Overall, the results provide an effective case study for considering the potential application of ecotoxicogenomics to ecological risk assessments and provide novel comparative data regarding effects of BPA in fish.

AB - Small organisms can be used as biomonitoring tools to assess chemicals in the environment. Chemical stressors are especially hard to assess and monitor when present as complex mixtures. Here, fifteen polymerase chain reaction assays targeting Daphnia magna genes were calibrated to responses elicited in D. magna exposed for 24 h to five different doses each of the munitions constituents 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,6-dinitrotoluene, trinitrobenzene, dinitrobenzene, or 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane. A piecewise-linear model for log-fold expression changes in gene assays was used to predict response to munitions mixtures and contaminated groundwater under the assumption that chemical effects were additive. The correlations of model predictions with actual expression changes ranged from 0.12 to 0.78 with an average of 0.5. To better understand possible mixture effects, gene expression changes from all treatments were compared using high-density microarrays. Whereas mixtures and groundwater exposures had genes and gene functions in common with single chemical exposures, unique functions were also affected, which was consistent with the nonadditivity of chemical effects in these mixtures. These results suggest that, while gene behavior in response to chemical exposure can be partially predicted based on chemical exposure, estimation of the composition of mixtures from chemical responses is difficult without further understanding of gene behavior in mixtures. Future work will need to examine additive and nonadditive mixture effects using a much greater range of different chemical classes in order to clarify the behavior and predictability of complex mixtures.

AB - Soil contamination near munitions plants and testing grounds is a serious environmental concern that can result in the formation of tissue chemical residue in exposed animals. Quantitative prediction of tissue residue still represents a challenging task despite long-term interest and pursuit, as tissue residue formation is the result of many dynamic processes including uptake, transformation, and assimilation. The availability of high-dimensional microarray gene expression data presents a new opportunity for computational predictive modeling of tissue residue from changes in expression profile. Here we analyzed a 240-sample data set with measurements of transcriptomic-wide gene expression and tissue residue of two chemicals, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX), in the earthworm Eisenia fetida. We applied two different computational approaches, LASSO (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) and RF (Random Forest), to identify predictor genes and built predictive models. Each approach was tested alone and in combination with a prior variable selection procedure that involved the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and HOPACH (Hierarchical Ordered Partitioning And Collapsing Hybrid). Model evaluation results suggest that LASSO was the best performer of minimum complexity on the TNT data set, whereas the combined Wilcoxon-HOPACH-RF approach achieved the highest prediction accuracy on the RDX data set. Our models separately identified two small sets of ca. 30 predictor genes for RDX and TNT. We have demonstrated that both LASSO and RF are powerful tools for quantitative prediction of tissue residue. They also leave more unknown than explained, however, allowing room for improvement with other computational methods and extension to mixture contamination scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper describes an Application Programming Interface (API) for managing multi-dimensional data produced for water resource computational modeling that is being developed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), in conjunction with Brigham Young University. This API, along with a corresponding data standard, is being implemented within ERDC computational models to facilitate rapid data access, enhanced data compression and data sharing, and cross-platform independence. The API and data standard are known as the extensible Model Data Format (XMDF), and version 1.3 is available for free download. This API is designed to manage geometric data associated with grids, meshes, riverine and coastal cross sections, and both static and transient array-based datasets. The inclusion of coordinate system data makes it possible to share data between models developed in different coordinate systems. XMDF is used to store the data-intensive components of a modeling study in a compressed binary format that is platform independent. It also provides a standardized file format that enhances modeling linking and data sharing between models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Fish can sustain injury or mortality when they pass through hydroelectric facilities. To develop a method to monitor the passage and survival of juvenile salmonids without bias through turbines within the Federal Columbia River Power System, we developed and fabricated two designs of neutrally buoyant transmitters: Type A (sutured to the dorsal musculature of the fish anterior to the dorsal fin) and Type B (two-part design attached with wire pushed through the dorsal musculature, ventral to the dorsal fin). To determine the efficacy of the two designs under non-turbine passage-related conditions, fish had one of the tags attached and were held for 14 days to determine any potential effects of the tags on growth, survival and tissue damage. We also evaluated the attachment method by monitoring tag retention. These two neutrally buoyant tag designs were compared to nontagged individuals and those surgically implanted with current Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) transmitters and passive integrated responder (PIT) tags. In addition, two suture materials (Monocryl and Vicryl Rapide) were tested for attachment of Type A tags. When compared with non-tagged individuals, fish tagged with Type A tags did not differ significantly with respect to growth or mortality over a 14-d holding period. However, fish tagged with Type B transmitters had lower growth rates than the nontagged controls or other tag treatments. The efficacy of two designs was also compared to nontagged individuals under shear exposure. Fish were exposed to a submerged, 6.35-cm-diameter water jet at velocities ranging from 3.0 to 12.2m/s in a water flume to simulate turbine conditions within the Columbia River basin. Throughout the shear exposure study, no mortalities or tag loss were observed. There was also no significant difference in the rates of shear injury between untagged fish and fish tagged with Type A or Type B tags. When tissue damage was assessed for tagged individuals exposed to shear forces, those tagged with Type A tags showed lower rates and severity of injury when compared to Type B-tagged fish. Overall, Type A tags may be a viable tag design for juvenile Chinook salmon passing through hydropower facilities. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Comparative inventories in 1969 and 1970 and in 2008 of vegetation from 30 forest stands downstream of Garrison Dam on the Missouri River in central North Dakota showed (a) a sharp decline in cottonwood regeneration; (b) a strong compositional shift toward dominance by green ash; and (c) large increases in invasive understory species, such as smooth brome, reed canary grass, and Canada thistle. These changes, and others discovered during remeasurement, have been caused by a complex of factors, some related to damming (altered hydrologic and sediment regimes, delta formation, and associated wet-dry cycles) and some not (diseases and expansion of invasive plants). Dominance of green ash, however, may be short lived, given the likelihood that the emerald ash borer will arrive in the Dakotas in 5-10 years, with potentially devastating effects. The prospects for recovery of this valuable ecosystem, rich in ecosystem goods and services and in American history, are daunting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The environmental prevalence of engineered nanomaterials, particularly nanoparticulate silver (AgNP), is expected to increase substantially. The ubiquitous use of commercial products containing AgNP may result in their release to the environment, and the potential for ecological effects is unknown. Detecting engineered nanomaterials is one of the greatest challenges in quantifying their risks. Thus, it is imperative to develop techniques capable of measuring and characterizing exposures, while dealing with the innate difficulties of nanomaterial detection in environmental samples, such as low-engineered nanomaterial concentrations, aggregation, and complex matrices. Here the authors demonstrate the use of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, operated in a single-particle counting mode (SP-ICP-MS), to detect and quantify AgNP. In the present study, two AgNP products were measured by SP-ICP-MS, including one of precisely manufactured size and shape, as well as a commercial AgNP-containing health food product. Serial dilutions, filtration, and acidification were applied to confirm that the method detected particles. Differentiation of dissolved and particulate silver (Ag) is a feature of the technique. Analysis of two wastewater samples demonstrated the applicability of SP-ICP-MS at nanograms per liter Ag concentrations. In this pilot study, AgNP was found at 100 to 200 ng/L in the presence of 50 to 500 ng/L dissolved Ag. The method provides the analytical capability to monitor Ag and other metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in fate, transport, stability, and toxicity studies using a commonly available laboratory instrument. Rapid throughput and element specificity are additional benefits of SP-ICP-MS as a measurement tool for metal and metal oxide engineered nanoparticles. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - Ecotoxicology research is using many methods for engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), but the collective experience from researchers has not been documented. This paper reports the practical issues for working with ENMs and suggests nano-specific modifications to protocols. The review considers generic practical issues, as well as specific issues for aquatic tests, marine grazers, soil organisms, and bioaccumulation studies. Current procedures for cleaning glassware are adequate, but electrodes are problematic. The maintenance of exposure concentration is challenging, but can be achieved with some ENMs. The need to characterize the media during experiments is identified, but rapid analytical methods are not available to do this. The use of sonication and natural/synthetic dispersants are discussed. Nano-specific biological endpoints may be developed for a tiered monitoring scheme to diagnose ENM exposure or effect. A case study of the algal growth test highlights many small deviations in current regulatory test protocols that are allowed (shaking, lighting, mixing methods), but these should be standardized for ENMs. Invertebrate ( Daphnia) tests should account for mechanical toxicity of ENMs. Fish tests should consider semistatic exposure to minimize wastewater and animal husbandry. The inclusion of a benthic test is recommended for the base set of ecotoxicity tests with ENMs. The sensitivity of soil tests needs to be increased for ENMs and shortened for logistics reasons; improvements include using Caenorhabditis elegans, aquatic media, and metabolism endpoints in the plant growth tests. The existing bioaccumulation tests are conceptually flawed and require considerable modification, or a new test, to work for ENMs. Overall, most methodologies need some amendments, and recommendations are made to assist researchers.

AB - Using mass balance studies, we show that wheat straw readily bound several times its own weight in crude oil floating on salt water, the straw was reusable following repeated extractions of the oil with diesel, and its presence significantly increased the rate of biodegradation of the oil without the use of dispersants. Previous studies in this area have indicated a preference for synthetic polymeric materials because of their ability to bind greater amounts of oil and their reusability, as compared to organic materials including straw. However, it is clear that plastic leads to ecological problems in marine environments and does not typically provide bioavailable nutrients such as nitrogen or phosphorus to aid the natural oil biodegradation process. Our results suggest the advisability of using biomass such as straw for crude oil remediation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - During the Vietnam War the complex nature of fighting an insurgency posed significant problems for US Army officers attempting to measure progress and military effectiveness. While much of the Vietnam historiography maintains that ‘body counts’ served as the primary, if not only, indicator of wartime success, such arguments overlook the vast numbers of reports attempting to measure progress and performance. Problems in evaluating progress stemmed not from a lack of effort on the part of army officers or from a single-minded commitment to counting bodies. Rather, complications arose from attempting to collect too many facts, figures, and statistics without evaluating how accurately such data reflected progress in a complex political-military environment.

AB - In the aftermath of the historic 2011 Missouri River flood, Missouri River Basin (MRB) state representatives and governors criticize the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for operating the Missouri River Mainstem Reservoir System (System) in support of the multiple, often conflicting, purposes outlined in the Flood Control Act of 1944. These officials envision entering into an interstate compact to divest the Corps of some of its operational authority and to broaden their role in managing water resources. Similarly, MRB tribal leaders argue that the Corps fails to operate its System in a manner that respects the interrelated issues of Indian reserved water rights and tribal sovereignty. As States and Tribes contemplate a rebalancing of power in the MRB, it is essential that any water resources management solution provide a forum in which affected States, Tribes, and the Federal government might work together in pursuit of interconnected interests. Accordingly, it is time for stakeholders to think beyond the dualistic "federal-interstate" compact arrangement and seriously consider a pluralistic "federal-interstate-tribal" approach - even if Indian reserved water rights are not yet quantified. Although such a tripartite approach is a departure from traditional compacting practice, the great weight of Indian reserved water rights warrants tribal representation on any commission charged with implementing a twenty-first century MRB water resources compact. Further, it would be unrealistic to expect a federal commissioner to represent tribal interests until such time as rights are quantified, given the Federal government's conflict of interest in operating the System for other consumptive users. This Article concludes that the Federal government's interests in flood protection, navigation, and national security, and the Tribes' interests in protecting reserved water rights and tribal sovereignty, warrant an inter-sovereign approach whereby power is shared equally among signatories to this compact.

AB - Infrasound data were collected using portable arrays in a region of variable terrain elevation to quantify the effects of topography on observed signal amplitude and waveform features at distances less than 25 km from partially contained explosive sources during the Frozen Rock Experiment (FRE) in 2006. Observed infrasound signals varied in amplitude and waveform complexity, indicating propagation effects that are due in part to repeated local maxima and minima in the topography on the scale of the dominant wavelengths of the observed data. Numerical simulations using an empirically derived pressure source function combining published FRE accelerometer data and historical data from Project ESSEX, a time-domain parabolic equation model that accounted for local terrain elevation through terrain-masking, and local meteorological atmospheric profiles were able to explain some but not all of the observed signal features. Specifically, the simulations matched the timing of the observed infrasound signals but underestimated the waveform amplitude observed behind terrain features, suggesting complex scattering and absorption of energy associated with variable topography influences infrasonic energy more than previously observed.

AB - The authors investigate a gap in attitudes toward homosexuals in the U.S. military among a select group of people—American civilian undergraduates, Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) cadets, and cadets at military academies. Using a subsample (N = 3057) of data from the Biannual Attitude Survey of Students (BASS), being a military academy cadet is associated with the strongest agreement for barring homosexuals from serving in the military, followed by ROTC cadets and civilians. These trends continue when controlling for respondents' sex and political affiliation—the two most significant predictors of agreeing to bar homosexuals from military service. A small reduction in agreement for barring was found among academy cadets over time. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Despite extensive work by the University of Chicago in 1934-44, Kincaid has remained one of the least understood of the large mid-South Mississippian mound complexes. Between 2003 and 2009, large-scale magnetic gradient survey was done on 33.6 ha of the site, roughly half of the total site area and 65 percent of the larger and more accessible Massac County portion. The survey was highly successful, revealing large numbers of cultural features, including palisades, structures, pit features, and midden areas. This paper presents the preliminary results of the geophysical survey, complemented by small-scale ground-truthing excavations. Together these have significantly expanded and refined our understanding of this large prehistoric town. Kincaid is clearly much larger than once thought, both in terms of total site area and area of habitation. The site also exhibits much greater internal complexity, as evidenced by internal palisades and numerous small mounds and earthen platforms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Located at the Cahokia site, immediately east of Monks Mound, the western portion of Ramey Field is known to include several mounds, a stockade that was rebuilt three times, numerous Late Woodland and Mississippian houses and pits, and more than a meter of sub-plow-zone cultural midden. A portion of Ramey Field was surveyed in 2003-4 using magnetic field 8radiometry (43,600 m and electrical resistance (29,200 m²). Survey goals were to identify large-scale public or ritual architecture and to assess the usefulness of near-surface geophysical surveys in an area of deep, complex deposits. Very few typical features such as structures and pits could be identified. At least five construction episodes and a circular structure measuring 20 m in diameter were identified in Mound 36. A massive complex of resistance and magnetic anomalies overlooking Cahokia Creek may represent a previously unknown mound, constructed surface, reclaimed borrow pit, or facility associated with possible stockade entryways.

AB - Archaeological models of Clovis adaptations are divided between those that argue for a single hunting adaptation characterized by high residential mobility without fixed territories and those that argue for a diversity of environment-specific adaptations and settlement systems. The Dietz site (35LK1529), the largest Clovis site in the Pacific Northwest, is composed of many overlapping, spatially coherent artifact clusters from which 75 whole and fragmentary fluted points have been recovered. The artifact assemblage is inconsistent with use of the site as a kill, camp, or quarry site. Geoarchaeological data show that the site area during the Clovis occupation was a sparsely vegetated, seasonal playa that is unlikely to have supported large herds of game animals. However, the site sits astride what was probably a major transportation corridor linking highly productive ecosystems in the adjoining basins, and Clovis foragers appear to have camped at Dietz repeatedly while traveling between these nearby basins. The systematic and redundant use of a geographically small landscape by Clovis foragers is inconsistent with expectations based on a model of residentially mobile foragers occupying new territories. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - Los modelos teóricos de la adaptación Clovis se dividen entre los que abogan por un solo tipo de adaptación basada en la caza, con una movilidad residencial alta y sin territorios fijos, por otro lado están los que contemplan una diversidad de adaptaciones y de sistemas de asentamiento específicos para cada tipo de medio ambiente. El sitio Dietz, el yacimiento Clovis más grande del Pacífico Noroeste de los Estados Unidos, está compuesto de varios estratos culturales con artefactos agrupados de manera coherente entre los que se han recuperado un total de 75 puntas de proyectil tipo Clovis (completas y fragmentadas). El conjunto no parece indicar el empleo del yacimiento como lugar de matanza, de campamento a largo plazo o de taller lítico. Los datos geomorfológicos indican que durante la ocupación Clovis el área tenía una vegetación pobre, con un estanque estacional que no podía abastecer grandes manadas de ungulados. Sin embargo, el sitio está ubicado en medio de un probable corredor que comunica a varios ecosistemas muy productivos en cuencas cercanas. Los cazadores-recolectores Clovis parecen haber acampado en Dietz de manera repetida durante sus trayectos entre dichas cuencas. El empleo sistemático y redundante de un pequeño paisaje por parte de las gentes Clovis no concuerda con las expectativas basadas en un modelo de forrajeros móviles que estaban en búsqueda de nuevos territorios de ocupación.

AB - This study aimed to describe patient-handling demands in inpatient units during a 24-hour period at a military health care facility. A 1-day total population survey described the diverse nature and impact of patient-handling tasks relative to a variety of nursing care units, patient characteristics, and transfer equipment. Productivity baselines were established based on patient dependency, physical exertion, type of transfer, and time spent performing the transfer. Descriptions of the physiological effect of transfers on staff based on patient, transfer, and staff characteristics were developed. Nursing staff response to surveys demonstrated how patient-handling demands are impacted by the staff's physical exertion and level of patient dependency. The findings of this study describe the types of transfers occurring in these inpatient units and the physical exertion and time requirements for these transfers. This description may guide selection of the most appropriate and cost-effective patient-handling equipment required for specific units and patients.

AB - The early detection and accurate localization of threatening sounds is vital for the survival of military personnel. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the detection, localization, and response time to an M-16 rifle magazine insertion click in three background conditions: jungle, pink, and ambient noise. The level of the click varied from -18 to 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Reported results indicate that detection rates of 50, 70, and 100% required SNRs of -6 to -12, DS3, and 0 dB, respectively. Localization accuracy of 50 and 80% within a ±15° angle required SNRs of about DS6 and 0 dB, respectively; 100% accuracy was never achieved. Response time was about 2.0-2.5 s for high SNRs but increased gradually at poorer SNRs. The military relevance of the reported findings is discussed.

AB - BACKGROUND: Inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) is characterized by lung injury and inflammation, with significant increases in the numbers of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and alveolar macrophages. This influx of cellular infiltrates is associated with the activation of multiple genes, including cytokines and chemokines, and the production of reactive oxygen species. OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of the lung injury is not fully understood, but alterations in the presence or abundance of a number of proteins in the lung have been observed. Our objective in this study was to further characterize these changes and to ask whether additional changes could be discerned using modern proteomic techniques. METHODS: The present study investigates global alterations in the proteome of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid taken from rats 1, 7, or 30 days after exposure to 5, 35, or 50 mg/kg of animal weight of DEPs. RESULTS: Analysis by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry identified two distinct peaks that appeared as an acute response postexposure at all doses in all animals. We identified these two peaks, with mass to charge ratios (m/z) of 9,100 and 10,100, as anaphylatoxin C3a and calgranulin A by additional mass spectral investigation using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. CONCLUSIONS: With this approach, we found a number of inflammatory response proteins that may be associated with the early phases of inflammation in response to DEP exposure. Further studies are warranted to determine whether serum levels of these proteins could be markers of diesel exhaust exposure in workers.

AB - The performance of 14 soldiers was evaluated during 3 hr of simulated sentry duty when (a) the primary work rate was varied and (b) participants were required to intermittently perform a simple secondary task. Performance measurements included latency to detect a target, number of correct target detections, correct friend versus foe identification, targets hit, and latency to respond to the presentation of a continuous tone (secondary task). Activity monitors measured motor activity during study participation. During higher work rate sessions, participants responded to the appearance of a target more quickly, discriminated friend from foe more accurately, and hit more foe targets. The addition of a simple auditory task to the primary task did not affect performance on any of the sentry duty measures. These findings demonstrated that moderate increases in task engagement, or work rate, improved most performance metrics on a long duration (3-hr), militarily relevant vigilance task.

AB - Interpersonal skills are listed as 1 of the 7 critical skills for soldiers in the future (Cox, DeRoche, & Leibrecht, 2001) and they are highly important for success in special operations specialties such as Special Forces as well as for success in leadership positions. Factor analytic research of performance dimensions supports the concept that interpersonal task performance is a unique dimension of performance (e.g., Distefano & Pryer, 1986; Pulakos, Borman, & Hough, 1988). Latent models of job performance, however, have not necessarily separated the technical dimension of task performance from an interpersonal dimension of task performance (e.g. Campbell, McCloy, Oppler, & Sager, 1993). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to compare the fit of the Campbell et al. (1993) model with a modified model that also included an interpersonal task performance dimension. Results demonstrated that inclusion of a unique latent dimension for interpersonal task performance improved the fit of the model to data from a job with a high requirement for interpersonal performance. The implications of these results for understanding and summarizing performance are discussed.

AB - The article presents a case study of endangered colonial waterbirds and discusses the consequences of using conspecific models and vocalizations in avian conservation. From 2003-2008, the populations of Forster's Tern (Sterna forsteri) in northeastern Illinois were established using conspecific attractions. The study found a variety of predators were attracted after the establishment of the colonies. It concludes that conspecific attractions may result in individuals nesting.

AB - The literature contains contradictory conclusions regarding the relative effects of urbanization on peak flood flows due to increases in impervious area, drainage density and width function, and the addition of subsurface storm drains. We used data from an urbanized catchment, the 14.3 km2 Dead Run watershed near Baltimore, Maryland, USA, and the physics-based gridded surface/subsurface hydrologic analysis (GSSHA) model to examine the relative effect of each of these factors on flood peaks, runoff volumes, and runoff production efficiencies. GSSHA was used because the model explicitly includes the spatial variability of land-surface and hydrodynamic parameters, including subsurface storm drains. Results indicate that increases in drainage density, particularly increases in density from low values, produce significant increases in the flood peaks. For a fixed land-use and rainfall input, the flood magnitude approaches an upper limit regardless of the increase in the channel drainage density. Changes in imperviousness can have a significant effect on flood peaks for both moderately extreme and extreme storms. For an extreme rainfall event with a recurrence interval in excess of 100 years, imperviousness is relatively unimportant in terms of runoff efficiency and volume, but can affect the peak flow depending on rainfall rate. Changes to the width function affect flood peaks much more than runoff efficiency, primarily in the case of lower density drainage networks with less impermeable area. Storm drains increase flood peaks, but are overwhelmed during extreme rainfall events when they have a negligible effect. Runoff in urbanized watersheds with considerable impervious area shows a marked sensitivity to rainfall rate. This sensitivity explains some of the contradictory findings in the literature.

AB - Macrolide antibiotics have been shown to protect airway epithelial cells and macrophages from sulfur mustard (SM)–induced cytotoxicity. In the current study, the efficacy of roxithromycin in ameliorating SM-induced respiratory injury was further evaluated in a rat model. Anesthetized rats (N = 8/group) were intratracheally exposed to SM by vapor inhalation. For the drug treatment groups, rats were orally given 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg roxithromycin one hr prior to exposure and every twenty-four hr thereafter. After one, three, or seven days of treatment, sections of the lung were examined and scored for histopathological parameters. Treatment with roxithromycin ameliorated many of the symptoms caused by SM in some animals. In particular, treatment at 40 mg/kg for three days showed significant improvements (p < .05) over the untreated group. When the evaluation was focused on trachea, treatment with roxithromycin for three days showed a trend of dose-dependent protection; moreover, the groups treated with 20 or 40 mg/kg of roxithromycin were statistically different (p < .001 and p < .05, respectively) from the untreated group. These results suggest that roxithromycin protects against some damages associated with SM injury in the lung, particularly in the upper respiratory tract. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Abstract: Type I interferons (IFNs) are potent mediators of the innate immune response to viral infection. IFNs released from infected cells bind to a receptor (IFNAR) on neighboring cells, triggering signaling cascades that limit further infection. Subtle variations in amino acids can alter IFNAR binding and signaling outcomes. We used a new gene crossbreeding method to generate hybrid, type I human IFNs with enhanced antiviral activity against four dissimilar, highly pathogenic viruses. Approximately 1400 novel IFN genes were expressed in plants, and the resultant IFN proteins were screened for antiviral activity. Comparing the gene sequences of a final set of 12 potent IFNs to those of parent genes revealed strong selection pressures at numerous amino acids. Using three-dimensional models based on a recently solved experimental structure of IFN bound to IFNAR, we show that many but not all of the amino acids that were highly selected for are predicted to improve receptor binding.

AB - Abstract: Nitroglycerin (NG) is widely used for the production of explosives and solid propellants, and is a soil contaminant of concern at some military training ranges. NG phytotoxicity data reported in the literature cannot be applied directly to development of ecotoxicological benchmarks for plant exposures in soil because they were determined in studies using hydroponic media, cell cultures, and transgenic plants. Toxicities of NG in the present studies were evaluated for alfalfa (Medicago sativa), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crusgalli), and ryegrass (Lolium perenne) exposed to NG in Sassafras sandy loam soil. Uptake and degradation of NG were also evaluated in ryegrass. The median effective concentration values for shoot growth ranged from 40 to 231mgkg−1 in studies with NG freshly amended in soil, and from 23 to 185mgkg−1 in studies with NG weathered-and-aged in soil. Weathering-and-aging NG in soil did not significantly affect the toxicity based on 95% confidence intervals for either seedling emergence or plant growth endpoints. Uptake studies revealed that NG was not accumulated in ryegrass but was transformed into dinitroglycerin in the soil and roots, and was subsequently translocated into the ryegrass shoots. The highest bioconcentration factors for dinitroglycerin of 685 and 40 were determined for roots and shoots, respectively. Results of these studies will improve our understanding of toxicity and bioconcentration of NG in terrestrial plants and will contribute to ecological risk assessment of NG-contaminated sites.

AB - Abstract: Type II methanotrophs produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), while Type I methanotrophs do not. A laboratory-scale fluidized bed reactor was initially inoculated with a Type II Methylocystis-like dominated culture. At elevated levels of dissolved oxygen (DO, 9mg/L), pH of 6.2–6.5 with nitrate as the N-source, a Methylobacter-like Type I methanotroph became dominant within the biofilms which did not produce PHB. A shift to biofilms capable of PHB production was achieved by re-inoculating with Type II Methylosinus culture, providing dissolved N2 as the N-source, and maintaining a low influent DO (2.0mg/L). The resulting biofilms contained both Types I and II methanotrophs. Batch tests indicated that biofilm samples grown with N2 became dominated by Type II methanotrophs and produced PHB. Enrichments with nitrate or ammonium were dominated by Type I methanotrophs without PHB production capability. The key selection factors favoring Type II were N2 as N-source and low DO.

AB - Compounds rich in nitrogen are attracting much scientific interest because of their high energy content. Given this interest, it is desirable to be able to describe accurately the combustion mechanism and kinetics of HN3, the smallest, high-nitrogen compound. We report a combined experimental and modeling study of neat and HN3-doped H2/O2/Ar flames. We employed thin-wire thermometry and hydroxyl (OH) laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) to measure the flame temperatures and molecular beam-mass spectrometry, LIF, or both, to measure the species concentrations. We assembled a detailed chemical mechanism containing 24 species and over 100 reactions and tested it by comparing our experimental profiles HN3, H2, O2, H2O, N2, NO, NH, and OH to those predicted by the PREMIX flame code. Our model predicts well the species profiles, except for HN3 and NO. Rate and sensitivity analyses reveal that the HN3 + OH = N3 + H2O reaction is important in HN3 consumption and NO production, and we provide a revised rate expression for this reaction that is consistent with our experimental results.

AB - Resource professionals rely on soil morphology to make determinations of hydric soil status. Characteristic morphologies led to the development of field indicators for hydric soil identification and delineation. This study examined soils not meeting approved field indicators. These included high-chroma sandy soils, dark sandy soils, and marl soils located in Michigan. All soils displayed high water tables within 25 cm (10 in) of the surface for a minimum of 14 consecutive days. Indicator of reduction in soils (IRIS) tube data confirmed reducing conditions in wetland sites, with average Fe removal of 74%; only 4.8% removal was observed in uplands. Ten of 11 soils examined met the hydric soil technical standard (HSTS). Results indicate that two additional field indicators (S7-Dark surface and F10-Marl) should be approved in the region. Soil chemical data examined the development of hydric soil morphologies. Laboratory incubations monitored the formation of low-chroma colors with artificial C substrate in high-chroma sands. This work expands the range of accepted field indicators and provides a case study for applying the HSTS to problematic soil situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Fisheries research involving surgical implantation of transmitters necessitates the use of methods that minimize transmitter loss and fish mortality and optimize healing of the incision. We evaluated the effects of three incision locations on transmitter loss, healing, survival, growth, and suture retention in juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha. The three incision locations were (1) on the linea alba (LA incision), (2) adjacent and parallel to the LA (muscle-cutting [MC] incision), and (3) extending from the LA towards the dorsum at a 45° angle, between the parallel lines of myomeres (muscle-sparing [MS] incision). A Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System acoustic transmitter (0.44 g in air) and a passive integrated transponder tag (0.10 g in air) were implanted into each fish (total N = 936 fish). The fish were held at 12°C or 20°C and were examined weekly for 98 d. The progression of healing among incision locations and the variability in transmitter loss made it difficult to identify one incision location as the best choice. The LA incisions had a much smaller wound extent (area of visible subepidermal tissue) than MC and MS incisions during the first 28 d of the study. In both temperature treatments, apposition of incisions through day 14 was better for LA incisions than for MC and MS incisions. However, MC and MS incisions were less likely than LA incisions to reopen over time and thus were less likely to allow transmitter loss through the incision.

AB - The LD50 for soman is 10-20-fold higher for a mouse than a human. The difference in susceptibility is attributed to the presence of carboxylesterase in mouse but not in human plasma. Our goal was to make a mouse lacking plasma carboxylesterase. We used homologous recombination to inactivate the carboxylesterase ES1 gene on mouse chromosome 8 by deleting exon S and by introdudng a frame shift for amino adds translated from exons 6 to 13. ESI-/- mice have no detectable carboxylesterase activity in plasma but have normal carboxylesterase adivity in tissues. Homozygous ESI -/- mice and wild-type littermates were tested for response to a nerve agent model compound (soman coumarin) at 3 mg/kg sc. This dose intoxicated both genotypes but was lethal only to ESI-/- mice. This demonstrated that plasma carboxylesterase proteds against a relatively high toxidty organophosphorus compound. The ESI-/- mouse should be an appropriate model for testing highly toxic nerve agents and for evaluating protection strategies against the toxidty of nerve agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Direct experimentation with chemical warfare agents (CWA) to study important problems such as their permeation across protective barrier materials, decontamination of equipment and facilities, or the environmental transport and fate of CWAs is not feasible because of the obvious toxicity of the CWAs and associated restrictions on their laboratory use. The common practice is to use “simulants,” namely, analogous chemicals that closely resemble the CWAs but are less toxic, with the expectation that the results attained for simulants can be correlated to how the CWAs would perform. Simulants have been traditionally chosen by experts, by means of intuition, using similarity in one or more physical properties (such as vapor pressure or aqueous solubility) or in the molecular structural features (such as functional groups) between the stimulant and the CWA. This work is designed to automate the simulant identification process backed by quantitative metrics, by means of chemical similarity search software routinely used in pharmaceutical drug discovery. The question addressed here is: By the metrics of such software, how similar are traditional simulants to CWAs? That is, what is the numerical “distance” between each CWA and its customary simulants in the quantitative space of molecular descriptors? The answers show promise for finding close but less toxic simulants for the ever-increasing numbers of CWAs objectively and fast. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The high risk associated with biological threat agents dictates that any suspicious sample be handled under strict surety and safety controls and processed under high-level containment in specialized laboratories. This study attempted to find a rapid, reliable, and simple method for the complete inactivation of a wide range of pathogens, including spores, vegetative bacteria, and viruses, while preserving microbial nucleic acid fragments suitable for PCRs and proteinaceous epitopes for detection by immunoassays. Formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and guanidium thiocyanate did not completely inactivate high titers of bacterial spores or viruses after 30 min at 21°C. Glutaraldehyde and sodium hypochlorite showed high microbicidal activity but obliterated the PCR or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detection of bacterial spores or viruses. High-level inactivation (more than 6 log10) of bacterial spores (Bacillus atrophaeus), vegetative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa), an RNA virus (the alphavirus Pixuna virus), or a DNA virus (the orthopoxvirus vaccinia virus) was attained within 30 min at 21°C by treatment with either peracetic acid or cupric ascorbate with minimal hindrance of subsequent PCR tests and immunoassays. The data described here should provide the basis for quickly rendering field samples noninfectious for further analysis under lower-level containment and considerably lower cost.

AB - We examined the effect of a low-cover stratum-woody vines-on 1) the outcome of vegetation determinations made using the Prevalence Index (PI) and the Dominance Ratio (DR), and 2) agreement between vegetation and soils during wetland delineations in the United States. Different vine abundance measures-stem counts vs. percent cover-had no effect on the percentage of hydrophytic vegetation determinations made by either formula. Artificial increases and decreases to the woody vine stratum's minimum cover threshold of 5.0% also had no effect. However, in plots that contained borderline hydrophytic/nonhydrophytic vegetation, the percentage of hydrophytic vegetation determinations made by the DR decreased significantly when vine indicator status was artificially increased (p = 0.048). The PI produced significantly fewer hydrophytic determinations in plots with nonhydric soils than in plots with hydric soils (p < 0.001). The DR produced large percentages (81.8-100%) of hydrophytic determinations, regardless of soil type. Plots in which the DR and the PI differed had many commonalities, including nonhydric soils, nonhydrophytic PI/hydrophytic DR values, borderline hydrophytic vegetation, and an odd number of dominant species. During wetland delineations, the PI should be used in plant communities with low-cover strata, high species richness, or a high frequency of hydrophytes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: There is little known concerning the disease caused by Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) when inhaled, the likely route of exposure in a biological attack. Cynomolgus macaques, rhesus macaques, and African green monkeys were exposed to aerosolized ZEBOV to determine which species might be the most relevant model of the human disease. A petechial rash was noted on cynomolgus and rhesus macaques after fever onset but not on African green monkeys. Fever duration was shortest in rhesus macaques (62.7±16.3 h) and longest in cynomolgus macaques (82.7±22.3h) and African green monkeys (88.4±16.7h). Virus was first detectable in the blood 3 days after challenge; the level of viremia was comparable among all three species. Hematological changes were noted in all three species, including decreases in lymphocyte and platelet counts. Increased blood coagulation times were most pronounced in African green monkeys. Clinical signs and time to death in all three species were comparable to what has been reported previously for each species after parenteral inoculation with ZEBOV. These data will be useful in selection of an animal model for efficacy studies. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Photosynthetic responses were quantified for two Zostera japonica Aschers. and Graebn. populations from the northern and southern limits of distribution exposed to a range of salinities along the Pacific Coast of North America. Plants were collected from Padilla Bay, Washington (northern) and Coos Bay, Oregon, USA (southern) and cultured together in experimental tanks at 3 salinities (5, 20 and 35) under saturating irradiance for 3 weeks. Subsequently, photosynthesis–irradiance (P vs. E curves) relationships for leaf segments from the two populations were assessed using an oxygen electrode system. We found no evidence for diel rhythms in either light saturated photosynthesis (P max) or dark respiration (R d). For the Padilla Bay population, P max ranged from 192 to 390μmol O2 gDW−1 h−1; for the Coos Bay population P max ranged from 226 to 774μmol O2 gDW−1 h−1. Photosynthetic maxima of the Coos Bay plants occurred at a salinity of 20, whereas salinity had no effect on the photosynthetic maxima of the Padilla Bay plants. There were significant differences in leaf tissue R d among salinity treatments but the two populations responded similarly to salinity. North American populations of Z. japonica are best adapted to intermediate salinities, displaying minimum R d rates, lower compensation irradiance, higher saturation irradiance, and greater P max rates at a salinity of 20. Additionally, the southern population may be better adapted to southward expansion along the Pacific Coast and changes associated with global climate change. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Urbanization causes fragmentation creating “islands” of natural habitat. The resulting fragmented landscapes represent a challenge for migratory and resident species because of decreased connectivity among fragments. We examined the effects of urbanization on avifauna communities in remnant and restored parks in the greater St. Louis area (St. Louis), Missouri and Illinois, USA. St. Louis is located along the Mississippi flyway, a significant North American migratory bird route, and ranks second among the most sprawl-threatened large cities. We compiled bird assemblages for 20 parks and used multiple linear regressions and Akaike''s Information Criterion (AIC) to analyze seven potential predictors of species richness for breeding, migratory and wintering species: area, habitat diversity, external development within 1km and 5km buffers, internal developed areas, road length, and presence of water bodies. The best predictors of resident bird (i.e., breeding and wintering) species richness was park area and external developed area within 5km, a surrogate for isolation. We suspect that the high species richness in parks in heavily urbanized areas is explained by the parks’ relatively large size and the funneling of species to two large parks within the most urbanized areas of St. Louis. For migratory species, the best predictors were habitat diversity and developed area within the park. As development continues to transform natural habitat along important avian migratory flyways, urban planning that includes large, diverse natural areas within urbanized landscapes is key to conserving local and migratory avifauna diversity.

AB - Abstract: Emissions from Portland cement manufacturing facilities may increase health risks in nearby populations and are thus subject to stringent regulations. Direct testing of pollutant concentrations in exhaust gases provides the best basis for assessing the extent of these risks. However, these tests (i) are often conducted under stressed, rather than typical, operating conditions, (ii) may be limited in number and duration, and (iii) may be influenced by specific fuel-types and attributes of individual kilns. We report here on the results of more than 150 emissions-tests conducted of two kilns at a Portland cement manufacturing plant in Portugal. The tests measured various regulated metals and polychlorinated dibenzo(p)dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs). Stack-gas concentrations of pollutants were found to be highly variable, with standard deviations on the order of mean values. Emission rates of many pollutants were higher when coal was used as the main kiln fuel (instead of petroleum coke). Use of various supplemental fuels, however, had little effect on stack emissions, and few statistically significant differences were observed when hazardous waste was included in the fuel mix. Significant differences in emissions for some pollutants were observed between the two kilns despite their similar designs and uses of similar fuels. All measured values were found to be within applicable regulatory limits. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: We have developed a rapid, reliable, and sensitive quantitative flow cytometric assay to measure the in vitro potency and stability of DNA vaccines to be delivered either by particle-mediated epidermal delivery (PMED) or by electroporation. The method involves transfecting cells with test DNA and comparing the measured antigen expression to that generated with expression from known quantities of reference material DNA. The assay was adapted for performance under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines and was successfully utilized to perform potency testing in support of a Phase I study for two hantavirus DNA vaccines delivered by gene gun. The results from the potency assays conducted over a 24-month period using this method proved to be highly reproducible with high signal-to-noise ratios. The assay was also adapted to assess the in vitro potency and stability of a DNA vaccine for Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus that will be delivered by electroporation. Our results indicate that this assay can be readily applied to support potency and stability testing of numerous DNA vaccines delivered by various methods, including multiagent vaccines.

AB - Adding activated carbon to sediments has been shown to be an effective means of reducing the bioavailability of certain contaminants. The current state of the practice is to mechanically mix activated carbon to a target concentration of 3 percent at depths of approximately 30 cm using a rotovator or similar construction equipment. Waterjets have been used to cut hard material using a mixture of water and an abrasive. If activated carbon is substituted for the abrasive, waterjets have the potential to use surface injection as a replacement for mechanical mixing during sediment remediation. A perceived benefit of waterjet-based sediment remediation is that there may be a reduced potential for benthic organism mortality related to amendment delivery. A set of waterjet parameters were identified that have the potential to achieve amendment placement goals, and a series of waterjet tests were conducted to evaluate the potential impact on the benthic community. The tests included mortality testing using a swimming macroinvertebrate and a burrowing invertebrate, benthic artifacts such as shells, and craft foam as a surrogate for living organisms. The results indicated that the immediate survivability was typically greater than 50 percent, and that empirical relationships between two variables (waterjet nozzle diameter and the water column height between the nozzle and the target) and the depth of cut in the foam could be established. Data are not available in the literature for direct comparison of organism survivability immediately after mechanical mixing, but the results of this study provide motivation for the further evaluation of waterjets on the basis of the low observed mortality rates. Future waterjet work may address field-scale characterization of mixing effectiveness, resuspension potential, technical feasibility, and cost. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: In this study, we propose a novel method to predict microwave attenuation in forested areas by using airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). While propagating through a vegetative medium, microwave signals suffer from reflection, absorption, and scattering within vegetation, which cause signal attenuation and, consequently, deteriorate signal reception and information interpretation. A Fresnel zone enveloping the radio frequency line-of-sight is applied to segment vegetation structure occluding signal propagation. Return parameters and the spatial distribution of vegetation from the airborne LiDAR inside Fresnel zones are used to weight the laser points to estimate directional vegetation structure. A Directional Vegetation Density (DVD) model is developed through regression that links the vegetation structure to the signal attenuation at the L-band using GPS observations in a mixed forest in North Central Florida. The DVD model is compared with currently-used empirical models and obtained better R 2 values of 0.54 than the slab-based models. Finally, the model is evaluated by comparing with GPS observations of signal attenuation. An overall root mean square error of 3.51dB and a maximum absolute error of 9.38dB are found. Sophisticated classification algorithms and full-waveform LiDAR systems may significantly improve the estimation of signal attenuation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Ephemeral and intermittent headwater streams are under increasing pressure from disturbance and development. Rapid, repeatable assessment techniques are needed in order to gauge the condition of these stream systems. Several attributes of these headwater streams constrain the use of the most widely used macroinvertebrate or water quality stream assessment techniques. The hydrogeomorphic (HGM) functional assessment is a reference-based alternative technique. To evaluate this alternative, repeated assessments were conducted in eight high-gradient headwaters in West Virginia by four independent teams. Across-site and measurement variance among teams was assessed using a coefficient of variation (CV, expressed as percent). A variability of >50% CV, which suggests less repeatable results, occurred in only 13.8% of measurements, primarily associated with 2 of the 9 variables examined (snag density and substrate size). Between site measurement variance was the greatest at more highly disturbed sample locations, particularly with regard to the large woody debris, tree species richness, and channel bank erosion variables. Variables with the lowest CV were tree diameter, detrital cover, canopy cover, and channel embeddedness. Based on these results, measurements included when applying HGM approach to these streams should focus on direct measurements or directed estimates that yield a large response range across a spectrum of sites while maintaining consistent repeatability among different teams, with special attention paid to their use in highly disturbed sites.

AB - Reductions in the size of acoustic transmitters implanted in migrating juvenile salmonids have resulted in the use of a shorter incision-one that may warrant only a single suture for closure. However, it is not known whether a single suture will sufficiently hold the incision closed when fish are decompressed and when outward pressure is placed on the surgical site during turbine passage through hydroelectric dams. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of single-suture incision closures on five response variables in juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha that were subjected to simulated turbine passage. An acoustic transmitter (0.43 g in air) and a passive integrated transponder tag (0.10 g in air) were implanted in each fish; the 6-mm incisions were closed with either one suture or two sutures. After exposure to simulated turbine passage, none of the fish exhibited expulsion of transmitters. In addition, the percentage of fish with suture tearing, incision tearing, or mortal injury did not differ between treatments. Expulsion of viscera through the incision was higher among fish that received one suture (12%) than among fish that received two sutures (1%). The higher incidence of visceral expulsion through single-suture incisions warrants concern. Consequently, for cases in which tagged juvenile salmonids may be exposed to turbine passage, we do not recommend the use of one suture to close 6-mm incisions associated with acoustic transmitter implantation.

AB - Abstract: Environmental sustainability (ES) planning was applied to the 981-mile, commercially navigable Ohio River. Navigation improvement needs were identified within the broad study along with actions to restore aquatic and riparian ecological resources to a higher state of sustainability. The actions were identified via an Expert Elicitation Process (EEP) involving aquatic and riparian/terrestrial experts knowledgeable of Ohio River resources. The received information was synthesized into goals for the selected resources (Valued Ecosystem Components — or VECs), actions or measures to attain the goals, and monitoring to evaluate conditions. Finally, 26 types of ES actions were identified and classified into three ES alternatives. These alternatives were then evaluated relative to key decision criteria, and such evaluations, based on pertinent decision criteria, were also conducted for four navigation improvement alternatives. Finally, the best combination of ES and navigation alternatives was identified. The key lessons derived from this use of EEP were that: (1) EEP can support the preliminary identification of ES measures; however, more detailed study of specific designs and cost evaluations will be necessary; (2) the method promotes collaboration between key scientists and policymakers from governmental agencies and private sectors, and such collaboration will ultimately provide the foundation for implementation of sustainability actions; and (3) an effective EEP does not occur by accident, it requires careful planning, implementation, and documentation.

AB - Although roadside fences have been proven effective at reducing deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs), information on how these fences alter deer behavior is lacking. We evaluated the effects of a traditional and a novel fencing design, constructed alongside a roadway, on movements and home ranges of white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus). From January to April 2009, we fitted 14 adult female deer with Global Positioning System collars, programmed to collect ≥24 locations/day. In June 2009 we constructed a 3.2-km fence that included a 1.6-km section of 2.4-m vertical-wire fence and a 1.6-km section of a prototype outrigger fence (i.e., 0.6 m, shade-cloth [50% opaque plastic sheeting] on a 45° outrigger angled toward the deer attached to the top of a 1.2 m, vertical-wire fence). We retrieved collars between January and March 2010. We compared home ranges, fence crossings, and fence circumventions among deer that encountered the outrigger and 2.4-m fences as well as for deer that encountered neither fence (i.e., controls), before and after fence construction. Actual crossings of the fence area were reduced, postconstruction, by 98% and 90% for the 2.4 m and outrigger treatment groups, respectively, suggesting that the fences were sufficiently effective to simulate how deer respond to roadside barriers. Deer with pretreatment home ranges that approached or encompassed the fence endings maintained a high degree of site fidelity by circumventing the endings. This study highlights the importance of incorporating information on deer behavior and resource usage into DVC-reduction strategies. If these factors are not accounted for, DVC frequency will likely stay the same, or increase, near fence endings. Thus, roadside fences should likely end at natural barriers to deer movements (i.e., heavy development) or incorporate some means of safe crossing into their endings. © 2011 The Wildlife Society.

AB - SUMMARY We apply the Bammann inelastic internal state variable model (BIISV) to a mantle convection code TERRA2D to investigate the influence of a history dependent solid mechanics model on mantle convection. We compare and contrast the general purpose BIISV model to the commonly used power-law model. We implemented the BIISV model using a radial return algorithm and tested it against previously published mantle convection simulation results for verification. Model constants for the BIISV are used based on experimental stress-strain behaviour found in the literature. After implementation we give illustrative simulation examples were the BIISV produces hardened areas on the cold thermal boundary layer that the power-law model cannot produce. The hardened boundary layers divert material downward giving a plausible reason for the current subduction zones that are present on the Earth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A recently developed Bayesian Monte Carlo (BMC) method and its application to safety assessment of structures are described in this paper. We use a one-dimensional BMC method that was proposed in 2009 by Rajabalinejad in order to develop a weighted logical dependence between successive Monte Carlo simulations. Our main objective in this research is to show that the extended BMC can dramatically improve simulation efficiency by using prior information from modelling and outcomes of preceding simulations. We provide theory and numerical algorithms for an extended BMC method for multi-dimensional problems, integrate it with a probabilistic finite element model and apply these coupled models to assessment of reliability of a flood defence for the 17th Street Flood Wall system in New Orleans. This is the first successful demonstration of the BMC method to a complex system. We provide a comparison of the numerical efficiency for the BMC, Monte Carlo (MC) and Dynamic Bounds methods that are used in reliability assessment of complex infrastructures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: US Army and the Department of Defense (DoD) facilities generate perchlorate (ClO4−) from munitions manufacturing and demilitarization processes. Ammonium perchlorate is one of the main constituents in Army''s new main charge melt-pour energetic, PAX-21. In addition to ammonium perchlorate, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) are the major constituents of PAX-21. In order to evaluate microbial perchlorate reduction as a practical option for the treatment of perchlorate in PAX-21 wastewater, we conducted biodegradation experiments using glucose as the primary sources of electrons and carbon. Batch experiments showed that negligible perchlorate was removed in microbial reactors containing PAX-21 wastewater while control bottles containing seed bacteria and glucose rapidly and completely removed perchlorate. These results suggested that the constituents in PAX-21 wastewater may be toxic to perchlorate reducing bacteria. A series of batch toxicity test was conducted to identify the toxic constituents in PAX-21 and DNAN was identified as the primary toxicant responsible for inhibiting the activity of perchlorate reducing bacteria. It was hypothesized that pretreatment of PAX-21 by zero-valent iron granules will transform toxic constituents in PAX-21 wastewater to non-toxic products. We observed complete reduction of DNAN to 2,4-diaminoanisole (DAAN) and RDX to formaldehyde in abiotic iron reduction study. After a 3-day acclimation period, perchlorate in iron-treated PAX-21 wastewater was rapidly decreased to an undetectable level in 2 days. This result demonstrated that iron treatment not only removed energetic compounds but also eliminated the toxic constituents that inhibited the subsequent microbial process. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The mechanisms of Ebola (EBOV) pathogenesis are only partially understood, but the dysregulation of normal host immune responses (including destruction of lymphocytes, increases in circulating cytokine levels, and development of coagulation abnormalities) is thought to play a major role. Accumulating evidence suggests that much of the observed pathology is not the direct result of virus-induced structural damage but rather is due to the release of soluble immune mediators from EBOV-infected cells. It is therefore essential to understand how the candidate therapeutic may be interrupting the disease process and/or targeting the infectious agent. To identify genetic signatures that are correlates of protection, we used a DNA microarray-based approach to compare the host genome-wide responses of EBOV-infected nonhuman primates (NHPs) responding to candidate therapeutics. We observed that, although the overall circulating immune response was similar in the presence and absence of coagulation inhibitors, surviving NHPs clustered together. Noticeable differences in coagulation-associated genes appeared to correlate with survival, which revealed a subset of distinctly differentially expressed genes, including chemokine ligand 8 (CCL8/MCP-2), that may provide possible targets for early-stage diagnostics or future therapeutics. These analyses will assist us in understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of EBOV infection and in identifying improved therapeutic strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A needlestick injury occurred during an animal experiment in the biosafety level 4 laboratory in Hamburg, Germany, in March 2009. The syringe contained Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) mixed with Freund's adjuvant. Neither an approved treatment nor a postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) exists for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Following a risk-benefit assessment, it was recommended the exposed person take an experimental vaccine that had shown PEP efficacy in ZEBOV-infected nonhuman primates (NHPs) [12]. The vaccine, which had not been used previously in humans, was a live-attenuated recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (recVSV) expressing the glycoprotein of ZEBOV. A single dose of 5 × 107 plaque-forming units was injected 48 hours after the accident. The vaccinee developed fever 12 hours later and recVSV viremia was detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 2 days. Otherwise, the person remained healthy, and ZEBOV RNA, except for the glycoprotein gene expressed in the vaccine, was never detected in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells during the 3-week observation period.

AB - Abstract: Prediction of the concentration of suspended cohesive sediment in the marine environment is constrained by difficulties in interpreting experimental evidence on bed exchange, i.e. erosion and deposition of particles, which remains sparse in mechanistic details. In this paper, conditions under which bed exchange in turbulent flows collectively determines the concentration of suspended matter have been examined in the heuristic sense based on selective experimental data. It is argued that interpretation of such data can be significantly facilitated when multi-class representation of particle size, collisional interaction between suspended particles and probabilistic representations of the bed shear stress along with variables describing particle behavior (critical shear stress for deposition, bed floc shear strength) are taken into account. Aggregation—floc growth and breakup kinetics—brings about shifts in the suspended particle size distribution; bed exchange is accordingly modulated and this in turn determines concentration dynamics. Probabilistic representation of the governing variables broadens the suspended sediment size spectrum by increasing the possibilities of inter-particle interactions relative to the mean-value representation. Simple models of bed exchange, which essentially rely on single-size assumption and mean-value representation of variables, overlook the mechanistic basis underpinning particle dynamics.

AB - This research investigates the use of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to generate a time-series of snow water equivalent (SWE) for dry snow within the Kuparuk watershed, North Slope, Alaska, during the winter of 1993/1994. Maps depicting relative change in phase and the theoretical relative change in SWE between satellite acquisitions are created for 3-day periods at the end of March 1994 using both ascending and descending ERS-1 overpasses. The theoretical coefficient relating relative change in phase and relative change in SWE for C-band is found to be at least twice as large as what is expected when using a simple single-layer snow model for this study area and time period. Without any direct measurements of SWE on the ground, station measurements of snow depth and hourly wind are linked to each 3-day relative change in phase map. Along with a qualitative assessment, quantitative measures of the rate and magnitude of phase change around these stations are directly compared to the hourly wind data for a given 3-day period. InSAR-derived maps acquired around a measured precipitation event show a considerable relationship to the predominant direction of strong winds over each 3-day period while maps acquired around no measureable precipitation depict much less correlation between phase change and predominant direction of strong winds. Despite limited ground measurements to infer snowpack conditions, these results show continued promise for the InSAR technique to measure changes in snowpack conditions (e.g. SWE) at much higher resolutions than manual sampling methods or passive microwave remote sensing. The extension of this technique to current L-band InSAR satellite platforms is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Bromine is an industrial chemical that can cause severe cutaneous burns. This study was a preliminary investigation into the effect of cutaneous exposure to bromine vapor using a weanling swine burn model and microarray analysis. Ventral abdominal sites were exposed to a mean calculated bromine vapor concentration of 0.69 g L−1 for 10 or 20 min. At 48 h postexposure, total RNA from skin samples was isolated, processed, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Porcine Genome Arrays. Expression analysis revealed that bromine vapor exposure for 10 or 20 min promoted similar transcriptional changes in the number of significantly modulated probe sets. A minimum of 83% of the probe sets was similar for both exposure times. Ingenuity pathways analysis revealed eight common biological functions among the top 10 functions of each experimental group, in which 30 genes were commonly shared among 19 significantly altered signaling pathways. Transcripts encoding heme oxygenase 1, interleukin-1β, interleukin 2 receptor gamma chain, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 were identified as common potential therapeutic targets for Phase II/III clinical trial or FDA-approved drugs. The present study is an initial assessment of the transcriptional responses to cutaneous bromine vapor exposure identifying molecular networks and genes that could serve as targets for developing therapeutics for bromine-induced skin injury. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB - Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a novel thermal conversion process that can be used to convert municipal waste streams into sterilized, value-added hydrochar. HTC has been mostly applied and studied on a limited number of feedstocks, ranging from pure substances to slightly more complex biomass such as wood, with an emphasis on nanostructure generation. There has been little work exploring the carbonization of complex waste streams or of utilizing HTC as a sustainable waste management technique. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the environmental implications associated with the carbonization of representative municipal waste streams (including gas and liquid products), to evaluate the physical, chemical, and thermal properties of the produced hydrochar, and to determine carbonization energetics associated with each waste stream. Results from batch carbonization experiments indicate 49-75% of the initially present carbon is retained within the char, while 20-37% and 2-11% of the carbon is transferred to the liquid- and gas-phases, respectively. The composition of the produced hydrochar suggests both dehydration and decarboxylation occur during carbonization, resulting in structures with high aromaticities. Process energetics suggest feedstock carbonization is exothermic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: This research focused on developing a general health report that conveys an individual’s health readings in a clear, concise and explanatory manner and demonstrating the report’s usefulness. The research examined the need for such a report and focused the design on the determined need and communication through visual display. The designed “Individual Health Report (IHR)” was evaluated using data obtained from an online survey developed for this research. The analysis involved t-tests, McNemar’s tests, linear regression and ANOVA. Results included the finding that the IHR significantly improved respondent’s ability to correctly answer questions about their health status and preventive health in general (p < 0.0001, n = 61). The study also showed that introduction of the IHR by healthcare providers would significantly improve the respondents’ view that they get the preventive healthcare information they need to make appropriate decisions (p = 0.0007, n = 61). In an era when costs of healthcare are of great concern and prevention is starting to gain traction as compared to strictly treatment, an IHR could be a very practical and beneficial step toward prevention focused healthcare. An IHR could be considered as a tool to provide increased public awareness of health status, with resulting gains in proactive and effective health management choices. Relevance to Industry: Degraded health and associated healthcare costs are of significant concerns to industry performance and profits. As several references highlighted in this research have indicated, a lack of health literacy and awareness of critical health indicators are significant concerns in helping employees to manage their own health status. From an economic and societal perspective, it may be considered cost effective for employers to work with healthcare providers to support presentation of employee health status and results of recent healthcare evaluations by means of an IHR. An IHR of the type tested in this research can be seen to both provide clear and understandable health status information, and improve health literacy, for wide sections of the population. Presenting employee information via this type of IHR can effectively supplement healthcare information delivered by healthcare providers. The IHR tested in this research represents a form of clear information presentation and visualization that overcomes issues of jargon that degrades communication between healthcare providers and employees.

AB - Fractions of soil organic matter (SOM) were extracted by an integrated physical-chemical procedure and their chemical natures were characterized through 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. For the 0- to 5-cm depth of a corn (Zea mays L.)--soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merr.] soil in Iowa, we extracted in sequence the light fraction, two size fractions of particulate organic matter (POM), and two NaOH-extractable humic acid fractions based on their binding to soil Ca2+: the unbound mobile humic acid fraction and the calcium humate fraction. Whole SOM was obtained by dissolving the soil mineral component through HF washes. All samples were analyzed by advanced 13CNMR techniques, including quantitative direct polarization/magic angle spinning, spectral-editing techniques, and two-dimensional ¹H-13C heteronuclear correlation NMR. The NMR spectra were comparable for the light fraction and two POM fractions and were dominated by carbohydrates and to a lesser extent lignins or their residues, with appreciable proteins or peptides. By contrast, spectra of the two humic fractions were dominated by aromatic C and COO/N-C=O groups, with smaller proportions of carbohydrates and NCH/OCH3 groups, indicative of more humified material. This trend was yet more pronounced in the calcium humate fraction. The spectrum for whole SOM had signals intermediate between these two groups of SOM fractions, suggesting contributions from both groups. Our results for this soil suggest that either chemical or physical fractions alone will partially represent whole SOM, and their integrated use is likely to provide greater insight into SOM structure and possibly function, depending on the research issue.

AB - Abstract: Vaccinia virus is the prototypical orthopoxvirus of Poxviridae, a family of viruses that includes the human pathogens Variola (smallpox) and Monkeypox. Core viral functions are conserved among orthopoxviruses, and consequently Vaccinia is routinely used to study poxvirus biology and screen for novel antiviral compounds. Here we describe the development of a series of fluorescent protein-based reporter Vaccinia viruses that provide unprecedented resolution for tracking viral function. The reporter viruses are divided into two sets: (1) single reporter viruses that utilize temporally regulated early, intermediate, or late viral promoters; and (2) multi-reporter viruses that utilize multiple temporally regulated promoters. Promoter and reporter combinations were chosen that yielded high signal-to-background for stage-specific viral outputs. We provide examples for how these viruses can be used in the rapid and accurate monitoring of Vaccinia function and drug action. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The effectiveness of in situ treatment using zero-valent iron (ZVI) for nonaqueous phase or significant sediment-associated contaminant mass can be limited by relatively low rates of mass transfer to bring contaminants in contact with the reactive media. For a field test in a trichloroethene (TCE) source area, combining moderate-temperature subsurface electrical resistance heating with in situ ZVI treatment was shown to accelerate TCE treatment by a factor of about 4 based on organic daughter products and a factor about 8 based on chloride concentrations. A mass-discharge-based analysis was used to evaluate reaction, dissolution, and volatilization processes at ambient groundwater temperature (∼10 °C) and as temperature was increased up to about 50 °C. Increased reaction and contaminant dissolution were observed with increased temperature, but vapor- or aqueous-phase migration of TCE out of the treatment zone was minimal during the test because reactions maintained low aqueous-phase TCE concentrations.

AB - The article discusses coupling multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA), life-cycle assessment and risk assessment for identifying emerging threats. According to the author, the emergence of novel materials, technologies and environmental stressors in the marketplace and the public consciousness necessitates an approach to environmental health and safety that integrates life-cycle thinking, public participation and adaptive management strategies. An overview of the four processes involved in MCDA, which is a method used in a complicated or uncertain decision-making process to improve understanding, the limitations of risk analysis and what an integrated process would look like is presented.

AB - Abstract: Techniques utilizing β-glucuronidase (GUS) activity as an indicator of Escherichia coli (E. coli) presence use labeled glucuronides to produce optical signals. Carboxyumbelliferyl-β-d-glucuronide (CUGlcU) is a fluorescent labeled glucuronide that is soluble and highly fluorescent at natural water pHs and temperatures and, therefore, may be an ideal reagent for use in an in situ optical sensor. This paper reports for the first time the Michaelis–Menten kinetic parameters for the binding of E. coli GUS with CUGlcU as K m =910μM, V max =41.0μMmin−1, V max/K m 45.0μmolL−1 min−1, the optimal pH as 6.5±1.0, optimal temperature as 38°C, and the Gibb''s free energy of activation as 61.40kJmol−1. Additionally, it was found CUGlcU hydrolysis is not significantly affected by heavy solvents suggesting proton transfer and solvent addition that occur during hydrolysis are not limiting steps. Comparison studies were made with the more common fluorescent molecule methylumbelliferyl-β-d-glucuronide (MUGlcU). Experiments showed GUS preferentially binds to MUGlcU in comparison to CUGlcU. CUGlcU was also demonstrated in a prototype optical sensor for the detection of E. coli. Initial bench testing of the sensor produced detection of low concentrations of E. coli (1.00×103 CFU/100mL) in 230±15.1min and high concentrations (1.05×105 CFU/100mL) in 8.00±1.01min.

AB - We examined disagreement among three methods used in the USA to make hydrophytic vegetation determinations during wetland delineations: the Dominance Ratio (DR), the Prevalence Index (PI), and the FAC-neutral Dominance Ratio (FN-DR). We had two objectives: to determine whether the number of dominant species in a plot affects the percentage of hydrophytic vegetation determinations made by each of the three methods and, if so, to explain the mathematical origin of disagreements among the methods. We compared the percentage of hydrophytic vegetation determinations produced when each method was applied to 200,000 simulations. The PI was the most consistent method for making hydrophytic vegetation determinations. We found that the DR is biased toward nonhydrophytic vegetation when there is an even number of dominant plant species in a plot; it is biased toward hydrophytic vegetation when there is an odd number of dominants. As the number of dominant species and strata increased, there were >20% more hydrophytic determinations made when we used DR than when we used PI. The FN-DR was also biased; it consistently produced fewer hydrophytic determinations than the other methods. When the DR disagrees with hydric soil and hydrology indicators, delineators should re-examine vegetation using the plot-based PI approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Methodologies used to identify wetland boundaries continue to evolve and impact ecosystem management. Field testing conducted at 232 locations evaluated Regional Supplements to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. These documents are used for wetland delineation by regulatory agencies and resource managers. Wetland delineations compared 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual guidance to Regional Supplement guidance. Supplement testing occurred in 37 States. This document examines changes in the wetland boundary, wetland delineation factors (vegetation, soils, and hydrology), problem situations, and comments provided by field teams. The wetland boundary did not change at 83% (192 sites) of locations. Where the boundary differed, wetland delineation based on Supplement guidance resulted in larger wetland in 12% (28 sites) of cases, while 1987 Manual guidance resulted in a larger wetland in 5% (12 sites) of cases. Changes in the boundary were reported at 25 locations and produced a mean increase of 5.8 m (median 4.6 m). Atypical or problem situations were reported at 22% (51 sites) of the sites examined. Supplement guidance was clear and easily applied at 84% (195 sites) of locations. Teams reported Supplement guidance as more defensible at 79% (183 sites) of locations compared to the 1987 Manual.

AB - The US Sustainable Remediation Forum (SURF) created this Framework to enable sustainability parameters to be integrated and balanced throughout the remediation project life cycle, while ensuring long-term protection of human health and the environment and achieving public and regulatory acceptance. Parameters are considerations, impacts, or stressors of environmental, social, and economic importance. Because remediation project phases are not stand-alone entities but interconnected components of the wider remediation system, the Framework provides a systematic, process-based approach in which sustainability is integrated holistically and iteratively within the wider remediation system. By focusing stakeholders on the preferred end use or future use of a site at the beginning of a remediation project, the Framework helps stakeholders form a disciplined planning strategy. Specifically, the Framework is designed to help remediation practitioners (1) perform a tiered sustainability evaluation, (2) update the conceptual site model based on the results of the sustainability evaluation, (3) identify and implement sustainability impact measures, and (4) balance sustainability and other considerations during the remediation decision-making process. The result is a process that encourages communication among different stakeholders and allows remediation practitioners to achieve regulatory goals and maximize the integration of sustainability parameters during the remediation process. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB - Abstract: Endocrine disrupting chemicals that activate the estrogen receptor are routinely detected in the environment and are a concern for the health of both exposed humans and indigenous wildlife. We exposed the western clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis) to the weak estrogen octylphenol from Nieuwkoop–Faber (NF) stage 46 tadpoles through adulthood in order to document the effects of a weak estrogen on the life history of an amphibian species. Frogs were exposed to 1, 3.3, 11 and 36μg/L octylphenol in a continuous flow-through water system. Just prior to completion of metamorphosis (NF 65), a random subsample of froglets was collected and assessed, while the remaining frogs received continued exposure through 31weeks of exposure when the remaining animals were sampled. Significant induction of the female egg yolk protein precursor vitellogenin was observed in the high treatment at the larval subsampling for both males and females, but not at the final sampling for either sex. No significant deviation from the control sex ratio was observed for either sampling period, suggesting minimal to no effect of octylphenol exposure on gonad differentiation. No effects in the adult frogs were observed for mortality, body mass and size, liver somatic index, estradiol and testosterone serum levels, sperm counts, or oocyte counts. The development and growth of oviducts, a female-specific secondary sex characteristic, was observed in males exposed to octylphenol. These results indicate that octylphenol exposure can induce vitellogenin in immature froglets and the development of oviducts in male adult frogs. The lack of effect observed on the developing gonads suggests that in amphibians, secondary sex characteristics are more susceptible to impact from estrogenic compounds than the developing gonads.

AB - Abstract: The role of primary sludge particulates (PSPs) in ultrasonic disinfection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) was investigated. Entrapment of E. coli by PSP was directly observed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) after E. coli and PSP were incubated together in water for 24 h at 35 °C. Entrapment coefficient was proposed for the first time to reflect the ability of PSP to entrap E. coli and was estimated as 1.4 × 103 CFU/mg PSP under our experimental conditions. Ultrasonication (20 kHz) of different E. coli-PSPs solutions showed that the entrapped E. coli cells were protected by PSP from ultrasonication and the unentrapped cells were not. However, the protection of entrapped E. coli cells gradually decreased as ultrasonication proceeded, suggesting the ability of power ultrasonication to deprotect the entrapped E. coli cells. SEM studies suggested a two-step mechanism for ultrasonic (20 kHz) disinfection of entrapped E. coli: breakdown of the protective PSP refugia and disinfection of the exposed E. coli cells. This research will enable more informed decisions about disinfection of aqueous samples where porous PSP are present. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Ecological and human risks often drive the selection of remedial alternatives for contaminated sediments. Traditional human and ecological risk assessment (HERA) includes assessing risk for benthic organisms and aquatic fauna associated with exposure to contaminated sediments before and after remediation as well as risk for human exposure but does not consider the environmental footprint associated with implementing remedial alternatives. Assessment of environmental effects over the whole life cycle (i.e., Life Cycle Assessment, LCA) could complement HERA and help in selecting the most appropriate sediment management alternative. Even though LCA has been developed and applied in multiple environmental management cases, applications to contaminated sediments and marine ecosystems are in general less frequent. This paper implements LCA methodology for the case of the polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans (PCDD/F)-contaminated Grenland fjord in Norway. LCA was applied to investigate the environmental footprint of different active and passive thin-layer capping alternatives as compared to natural recovery. The results showed that capping was preferable to natural recovery when analysis is limited to effects related to the site contamination. Incorporation of impacts related to the use of resources and energy during the implementation of a thin layer cap increase the environmental footprint by over 1 order of magnitude, making capping inferior to the natural recovery alternative. Use of biomass-derived activated carbon, where carbon dioxide is sequestered during the production process, reduces the overall environmental impact to that of natural recovery. The results from this study show that LCA may be a valuable tool for assessing the environmental footprint of sediment remediation projects and for sustainable sediment management.

AB - Abstract: Chemical and biogenic sources of phosphate are commonly accepted in situ treatment methods for immobilization of lead (Pb) in soil. The metalloid antimony (Sb), commonly associated with Pb in the environment, exists as either a neutral species or a negatively charged oxyanion. Antimony is used in the manufacture of bullets as a hardening agent, constituting approximately 3% of the bullet mass. Technological solutions to reduce the migration of metals from small arms firing range (SAFR) soils for environmental compliance purposes must be robust with respect to multi-component systems containing both cationic and anionic contaminants. The effect of varying physico-chemical soil properties on Sb mobility post-firing was assessed in this study for six soil types using common analytical protocols and methods related to regulatory criteria. The sands (SM and SP) demonstrated the greatest Sb solubility in post-firing leachate samples and therefore were selected to evaluate the effects of five commercially available stabilization amendments on Sb mobility. Enhanced Sb leaching was experimentally confirmed in the phosphate-treated soils compared to both the untreated control soil and the sulfur-based amendment, and thus suggests competition for negative sorption sites between Sb and phosphate. However, the 5% Buffer Block® calcium phosphate amendment did not exhibit the same enhanced Sb release. This can be attributed to the inclusion of aluminum hydroxide in the amendment composition. Technologies are needed that will adequately immobilize Pb without mobilizing oxyanions such as Sb. Further research will be required to elucidate binding mechanisms and redox conditions that govern the mobility of Sb on SAFRs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Plague, which is most often caused by the bite of Yersinia pestis-infected fleas, is a rapidly progressing, serious disease that can be fatal without prompt antibiotic treatment. In late December 2007, an outbreak of acute gastroenteritis occurred in Nimroz Province of southern Afghanistan. Of the 83 probable cases of illness, 17 died (case fatality 20·5%). Being a case was associated with consumption or handling of camel meat (adjusted odds ratio 4·4, 95% confidence interval 2·2–8·8, P<0·001). Molecular testing of patient clinical samples and of tissue from the camel using PCR/electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry revealed DNA signatures consistent with Yersinia pestis. Confirmatory testing using real-time PCR and immunological seroconversion of one of the patients confirmed that the outbreak was caused by plague, with a rare gastrointestinal presentation. The study highlights the challenges of identifying infectious agents in low-resource settings; it is the first reported occurrence of plague in Afghanistan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A specially designed net was used to study fish entrainment and injury through towboat propellers in 13 pools of the Upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers. The net was attached to the stern of a 48.8-m-long towboat with twin propellers (in Kort propulsion nozzles), and sampling typically took place while the towboat pushed 15 loaded barges upstream at a time. In total, 254 entrainment samples over 894 km of the 13 study pools were collected. The sampling efforts produced 16,005 fish representing 15 families and at least 44 species; fish ranged in total length from 3 to 123 cm, but only 12.5-cm or longer fish were analyzed because smaller fish could escape through the mesh of the trawl. Clupeidae (68% of total catch) and Sciaenidae (21%) were the dominant families. We detected no effects of towboat operation variables (speed and engine [i.e., propeller] revolutions per minute [RPM]) on entrainment rate (i.e., fish/km), but entrainment rate showed a wedge-shaped distribution relative to hydraulic and geomorphic characteristics of the channel. Entrainment rate was low (<1 fish/km) in wide sections of the river, deep water, and swift current (or time periods characterized by faster flow); however, entrainment in narrow sections with shallow, slow water was highly variable and occasionally reached high levels (>30 fish/km). Although total entrainment rate was not related to engine RPM, the probability of being struck by a propeller increased with fish length and engine RPM. Limits on engine RPM in narrow, shallow, and sluggish reaches could reduce entrainment impact, particularly for large-bodied fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Nearshore regions act as an interface between the terrestrial environment and deeper waters. As such, they play important roles in the dispersal of fluvial sediment and the transport of sand to and from the shoreline. This study focused on the nearshore of Poverty Bay, New Zealand, and the processes controlling the dispersal of sediment from the main source, the Waipaoa River. Hydrodynamics and sediment-transport in water shallower than 15m were observed from April through mid-September 2006. This deployment afforded observations during 3–4 periods of elevated river discharge and 5 dry storms. Similar wind, river discharge, wave, current, and turbidity patterns were characterized during three of the wet storms. At the beginning of each event, winds blew shoreward, increasing wave heights to 2–3m within Poverty Bay. As the cyclonic storms moved through the system the winds reversed direction and became seaward, reducing the local wave height and orbital velocity while river discharge remained elevated. At these times, high river discharge and relatively small waves enabled fluvially derived suspended sediment to deposit in shallow water. Altimetry measurements indicated that at least 7cm was deposited at a 15m deep site during a single discharge event. Turbidity and seabed observations showed this deposition to be removed, however, as large swell waves from the Southern Ocean triggered resuspension of the material within three weeks of deposition. Consequently, two periods of dispersal were associated with each discharge pulse, one coinciding with fluvial delivery, and a second driven by wave resuspension a few weeks later. These observations of nearfield sediment deposition contradict current hypotheses of very limited sediment deposition in shallow water offshore of small mountainous rivers when floods and high-energy, large wave and fast current, oceanic conditions coincide. Consistently shoreward near-bed currents, observed along the 10m isobath of Poverty Bay, were attributed to a combination of estuarine circulation, Stokes drift, and wind driven upwelling. Velocities measured at the 15m isobath, however, were directed more alongshore and diverged from those at the 10m isobath. The divergence in the currents observed at the 10 and 15m locations seemed to facilitate segregation of coarse and fine sediment, with sand transported near-bed toward the beach, while suspended silts and clays were exported to deeper water.

AB - Hybrid catfish (female channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus × male blue catfish I. furcatus) can be obtained by induced spawning and artificial fertilization; the results, however, are variable. A threshold degree of maturity must be reached before broodfish can be induced to spawn, but selection of such fish can be very subjective. In the present study, female brood channel catfish were classified subjectively as poor, fair, or good as well as on the basis of body weight, total body length, body width and girth, and the ratios of these measurements. Brood females were held at 24, 26, and 28°C in 100-L aquaria and injected with synthetic analogues of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone at 20 μg/kg, followed 12 h later by an additional injection of 100 μg/kg. Data were collected regarding spawning success, time to egg release following injection, fecundity, egg diameter, hatching, and survival rates. For the population as a whole at all three temperatures the spawning rate was 73.8%, but among females that met certain selection criteria greater spawning rates occurred. Females with a length: body width value of less than 5.5 had a spawning rate of 88.9%, and those subjectively classified as good had a spawning rate of 85.7%. The temperature at which broodstock were held affected the spawning rate; females classified as fair and good had spawning rates of 52.9, 82.4, and 95.5% at 24, 26, and 28°C, respectively. Females classified as good spawned earlier than lesser-quality fish. Likewise, females with length: girth values of 1.8 or less or length: width values of 5.0 or less spawned sooner than females with higher values. Brood selection criteria also resulted in selected subsets with greater fecundities, larger egg diameters, and, in some cases, an overall greater production of swim-up fry per kilogram of female.

AB - Aquaculturists have often suffered predation losses in the production of freshwater giant river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii due to the presence of wild fish species in culture ponds. The piscicide rotenone is widely used to remove undesirable fish species from ponds. Although evidence in the technical literature suggests that crustaceans generally have a higher tolerance to rotenone than fish, there are currently no data on the acute or chronic toxicity of rotenone to juvenile freshwater prawns. In this study, two static acute-toxicity bioassays (96 h) were conducted using Prentox Prenfish (5% active ingredient) rotenone to determine the median lethal concentration (LC50) for juvenile freshwater prawns (average weight = 0.55 g, SD = 0.25; length = 41.43 mm, SD = 6.45). In bioassay 1, prawns were exposed to rotenone concentrations of 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, and 10.0 mg/L. In bioassay 2, prawns were exposed to rotenone concentrations of 2.2, 3.6, 6.0, 10.0, and 16.7 mg/L. All rotenone concentrations used in the study were based on the total product of the commercial rotenone formulation. The LC50 calculated in bioassay 1 was 6.2 mg/L, and the LC50 calculated in bioassay 2 was 7.5 mg/L. Freshwater prawns were able to tolerate 3.0 to 3.6 mg/L of rotenone with no mortality or apparent adverse effects during the study. Prawns held at the end of each bioassay for 5 d showed no signs of delayed effects from rotenone exposure. Data from this study indicate that juvenile prawns should be able to tolerate the concentrations of rotenone required to eradicate certain problematic wild fish species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: During the past several decades, central European region has undergone significant political, economical, and geopolitical changes. This period has been marked by sudden swings from the geopolitical and military exploits of Nazi Germany to Soviet dominated communism and then to a free market democracy after the downfall of the Iron Curtain. Following the Soviet Union, the main geopolitical force and military player in this region is the United States of America. The question now arises, which direction is the geopolitical pendulum going to swing in the coming decades? One crucial test of these current developments was the planned deployment of the ground based mid-course defense system (GMD) that was proposed by the United States and supported by the governments of Poland and the Czech Republic. The objective of this research is to determine the current geopolitical atmosphere in Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic regarding the missile deployment and analyze additional factors that form public perception of current geopolitical status quo. As the results indicate, “the geopolitical pendulum” may swing again, but this time away from the United States towards more neutral ground. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: The influence of salmon-derived nutrients (SDN) is widely accepted as a potential factor in the maintenance of aquatic and terrestrial productivity in North American Coastal rainforests. Holocene alluvial landforms are intimately connected with the return of anadromous salmon, but the influence of the soils that occupy these landforms and support this important terrestrial–aquatic ecological coupling have not been examined in SDN studies. We used paleo-ecologic information, soil resource inventories and measurements of soil morphology to construct a soil-geomorphic model for alluvial landforms along salmon spawning channels on Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska, USA. Post-glacial sea-level rise, crustal uplift and subsidence combined with Holocene sediment deposition have formed alluvial terraces and floodplains along rivers on Prince of Wales Island. These alluvial landforms have soils that are mapped as Entisols (Tonowek soil series) and Spodosols (Tuxekan soil series). We propose a soil-geomorphic model where the Spodosols located on terraces are estimated to derive from sediments deposited after the stabilization of landscape approximately 8kybp to 6kybp. The stability of these soils is reflected through mature soil development with organic matter accumulation and podzolization. Our model identifies Entisols on floodplains developed from alluvial deposition in the latter Holocene that have soil morphologic features consistent with recent deposition and limited soil development. We used this soil-geomorphic model to test the hypothesis that the terrestrial end-member value commonly used to quantify nitrogen (N) loading on soils through stable isotope analysis differs by soil type and found that the two soil types had significantly different N isotopic (δ 15N) values more consistent with soil development than SDN loading. The use of a soil-geomorphic model provides a means to stratify alluvial landforms and constrain the natural variability encountered in studies of riparian nutrient cycles associated with the feedbacks between SDN and terrestrial ecosystems to improve estimates of the fate of SDN in soils and vegetation.

AB - Cell-to-cell communication, or quorum sensing (QS), enables cell density-dependent regulation of bacterial gene expression which can be exploited for the autonomous-signal-guided expression of recombinant proteins (C. Y. Tsao, S. Hooshangi, H. C. Wu, J. J. Valdes, and W. E. Bentley, Metab. Eng. 12:291-297, 2010). Earlier observations that the metabolic potential of Escherichia coli is conveyed via the QS signaling molecule autoinducer-2 (AI-2) suggested that the capacity for protein synthesis could also be affected by AI-2 signaling (M. P. DeLisa, J. J. Valdes, and W. E. Bentley, J. Bacteriol. 183:2918-2928, 2001). In this work, we found that simply adding conditioned medium containing high levels of AI-2 at the same time as inducing the synthesis of recombinant proteins doubled the yield of active product. We have hypothesized that AI-2 signaling "conditions" cells as a natural consequence of cell-to-cell communication and that this could tweak the signal transduction cascade to alter the protein synthesis landscape. We inserted luxS (AI-2 synthase) into vectors which cosynthesized proteins of interest (organophosphorus hydrolase [OPH], chloramphenicol acetyltrans- ferase [CAT], or UV-variant green fluorescent protein [GFPuv]) and evaluated the protein expression in luxS-deficient hosts. In this way, we altered the level of luxS in the cells in order to "tune" the synthesis of AI-2. We found conditions in which the protein yield was dramatically increased. Further studies demonstrated coincident upregulation of the chaperone GroEL, which may have facilitated higher yields and is shown for the first time to be positively regulated at the posttranscriptional level by AI-2. This report is the first to demonstrate that the protein synthesis capacity of E. coli can be altered by rewiring quorum sensing circuitry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sheepshead minnows (Cyprinodon variegatus) were exposed to radiolabeled isotopes of the explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), exahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (commonly known as RDX), and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (commonly known as HMX), yielding the bioconcentration factors (BCF) of 3.3, 0.7, and 0.1Lkg−1, respectively. For TNT, the body residue of transformation product exceeded that of the parent compound by factors of 1, 8, and 16 for total aminonitrotoluenes, total extractable compounds, and total transformation products, respectively, with substantial bioaccumulation of both non-identified extractable and unextractable (i.e., tissue-bound), compounds. In comparison, the sum body residues of RDX and HMX transformation products were <4 times higher than for parent compounds. The concentrations of RDX and HMX and their transformation products were similar among liver, viscera (excluding liver), gills, and body remains (integument and muscles), while 46% of the TNT transformation products resided in the liver, and 64% of the parent compound was in the viscera.

AB - The purpose of this paper is to assess the role of water in peacebuilding, cooperation and confidence building in the early phases of counterinsurgency operations in Helmand Province from Summer 2009 to Autumn 2010. For post-conflict Helmand to achieve security, it needs water to stabilize population movement, support a change from poppy cultivation to other crops, ensure food security, support public health and generate electricity. However, officials lack critical information that they need to make informed decisions about water, while counterinsurgency efforts and assistance programmes have overlooked the lead role that water can play.

AB - The effects of dietary calcium (Ca) deficiency on skeletal integrity are well characterized in growing and mature mammals; however, less is known about Ca nutrition during the neonatal period. In this study, we examined the effects of neonatal Ca nutrition on bone integrity, endocrine hormones, and mesenchymal stem cell IMSC) activity. Neonatal pigs (24 ± 6 h of age) received either a Ca-adequate (1.2 g/100 g) or an ∼40% Ca-deficient diet for 18 d. Ca deficiency reduced (P < 0.05) bone flexural strength and bone mineral density without major differences in plasma indicators of Ca status. There were no meaningful differences in plasma Ca, phosphate (PO4), parathyroid hormone, or 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol due to Ca nutrition throughout the study. Calcium deficiency also reduced (P < 0.05) the in vivo proliferation of MSC by ∼50%. In vitro studies utilizing homologous sera demonstrated that MSC activity was affected (P < 0.05) by both the Ca status of the pig and the sera as well as by their interaction. The results indicate that neonatal Ca nutrition is crucial for bone integrity and suggest that early-life Ca restriction may have long-term effects on bone integrity via programming of MSC.

AB - Soil erosion due to water and wind results in the loss of valuable top soil and causes land degradation and environmental quality problems. Site specific best management practices (BMP) are needed to curb erosion and sediment control and in turn, increase productivity of lands and sustain environmental quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of three different types of biodegradable erosion control blankets- fine compost, mulch, and 50–50 mixture of compost and mulch, for soil erosion control under field and laboratory-scale experiments. Quantitative analysis was conducted by comparing the sediment load in the runoff collected from sloped and tilled plots in the field and in the laboratory with the erosion control blankets. The field plots had an average slope of 3.5% and experiments were conducted under natural rainfall conditions, while the laboratory experiments were conducted at 4, 8 and 16% slopes under simulated rainfall conditions. Results obtained from the field experiments indicated that the 50–50 mixture of compost and mulch provides the best erosion control measures as compared to using either the compost or the mulch blanket alone. Laboratory results under simulated rains indicated that both mulch cover and the 50–50 mixture of mulch and compost cover provided better erosion control measures compared to using the compost alone. Although these results indicate that the 50–50 mixtures and the mulch in laboratory experiments are the best measures among the three erosion control blankets, all three types of blankets provide very effective erosion control measures from bare-soil surface. Results of this study can be used in controlling erosion and sediment from disturbed lands with compost mulch application. Testing different mixture ratios and types of mulch and composts, and their efficiencies in retaining various soil nutrients may provide more quantitative data for developing erosion control plans.

AB - The United States Army is concerned that its installations face multiple resource issues, including water security. Critical water issues include supply, cost, and quality. Strategies are needed to mitigate any adverse affects. To develop these strategies, information was gathered from national watershed screenings and regional water budgets, including supply and demand data from regions containing Army installations. The information was then used to develop installation water-demand projections that look beyond the boundaries of an installation and out 30 years into the future to identify the potential for water scarcity. Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and Fort Bliss, Texas???New Mexico, were used as specific examples to illustrate the critical role that water plays in the future of Army installations. Fort Bragg is not likely to have water availability issues out to 2030, because it will be accessing municipal water supplies. Fort Bliss will likely face water availability issues because the aquifer from which it draws its potable water is being used by more and more other parties.Environmental Practice 12:366???376 (2010) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Invasive species are described as the greatest threat to biodiversity, after habitat destruction and climate change, potentially imposing economic impacts and indigenous species impairment. Commonly applied chemical controls present the potential for legacy contamination and non-target organism injury. This study investigated the effects of different substrates and novel topographical surfaces on the behavioral and mechanical associations of the terrestrial gastropod Otala lactea. The gastropod preferentially aestivated on rough glass (61% increase, P < 0.01) relative to smooth glass but avoided a cross-patterned surface tessellation on silicone (82% reduction, P < 0.01) relative to smooth silicone. Significant deviations in turning behavior were found on the cross-patterned topographical surface and hydrophobic Teflon surfaces. The strongest correlation with gastropod adhesion strength to surfaces was found for surface elastic modulus ( R = 0.88, P = 0.03), followed by hydrophobicity ( R = − 0.71, P = 0.14), but no relationship with roughness ( P = 0.36). Preliminary data suggest surface roughness controlled aestivation behavior while elastic modulus (surface flexibility) controlled adhesion strength. In spite of greater adhesion to high-modulus materials, surface modulus was not a statistically significant controlling factor on gastropod aestivation preference. Understanding and exploiting the behavioral and mechanistic cues that organisms use while attaching to surfaces may lead to more environmentally benign control approaches.

Analyzed were computer model data on damage thresholds ex vivo of bovine ex-plant retinas and the microcavitation in-vitro data. Findings indicated that the reduction factor between exposure limit and injury threshold is not big enough in the ns pulse duration regime while the ms pulse duration regime showed independence of injury thresholds on spot size.

AB - Abstract: Bacteria of the genus Moraxella have been isolated from a variety of mammalian hosts. In a prior survey of bacteria that colonize the rhesus macaque nasopharynx, performed at the Tulane National Primate Research Center, organisms of the Moraxella genus were isolated from animals with epistaxis, or “bloody nose syndrome.” They were biochemically identified as Moraxella catarrhalis, and cryopreserved. Another isolate was obtained from an epistatic cynomolgus macaque at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. Based on differences in colony and cell morphologies between rhesus and human M. catarrhalis isolates, we hypothesized that the nonhuman primate Moraxella might instead be a different species. Despite morphological differences, the rhesus isolates, by several biochemical tests, were indistinguishable from M. catarrhalis. Analysis of the cynomolgus isolate by Vitek 2 Compact indicated that it belonged to a Moraxella group, but could not differentiate among species. However, sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene from four representative rhesus isolates and the cynomolgus isolate showed closest homology to Moraxella lincolnii, a human respiratory tract inhabitant, with 90.16% identity. To examine rhesus macaques as potential hosts for M. catarrhalis, eight animals were inoculated with human M. catarrhalis isolates. Only one of the animals was colonized and showed disease, whereas four of four macaques became epistatic after inoculation with the rhesus Moraxella isolate. The nasopharyngeal isolates in this study appear uniquely adapted to a macaque host and, though they share many of the phenotypic characteristics of M. catarrhalis, appear to form a genotypically distinct species.

AB - Abstract: Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX)-based nanocomposite microparticles were produced by a simple, yet novel spray drying method. The microparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which shows that they consist of small RDX crystals (∼0.1–1μm) uniformly and discretely dispersed in a binder. The microparticles were subsequently pressed to produce dense energetic materials which exhibited a markedly lower shock sensitivity. The low sensitivity was attributed to small crystal size as well as small void size (∼250nm). The method developed in this work may be suitable for the preparation of a wide range of insensitive explosive compositions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Despite being essential to the success of participatory ergonomics (PEs) programs, there are currently no known quantitative measures that capture the employees’ perspective of PE program effectiveness. The present study addresses this need through the development of the Employee Perceptions of Participatory Ergonomics Questionnaire (EPPEQ). The questionnaire is designed to assess five key components that are based on a review of the available literature: Employee Involvement, Knowledge Base, Managerial Support, Employee Support, and Strain related to ergonomic changes. In Phase 1, a sample of employees and ergonomists working at a manufacturing plant was used to develop and test an initial set of items. In Phase 2, data was collected from a nation-wide sample of employees representing a wide range of jobs and organizations to cross-validate the results from Phase 1. Phase 2 results indicate that the five EPPEQ subscales demonstrate sound convergent validity and are also correlated with traditional indicators of PE program success. Implications and uses of the EPPEQ are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Nonnative Lehmann lovegrass ( Eragrostis lehmanniana) has invaded large areas of the Southwestern United States, and its impact on native plants is not fully understood. Palmer's agave ( Agave palmeri), an important resource for many pollinators, is a key native plant potentially threatened by E. lehmanniana. Understanding potential impacts of E. lehmanniana on A. palmeri is critical for anticipating the future of the desert community where they coexist and for addressing management concerns about associated threatened and endangered species. Our study provides strong indications that E. lehmanniana negatively impacts A. palmeri in several ways. Areas of high E. lehmanniana abundance were associated with significantly lower densities and greater relative frequencies of small A. palmeri, suggesting that E. lehmanniana may exclude A. palmeri. There were no significant differences in species richness, abundance, or community composition when comparing flower associates associated with A. palmeri in areas of high and low E. lehmanniana abundance. However, we did find significantly lower connectedness within the pollination network associated with A. palmeri in areas with high E. lehmanniana abundance. Although E. lehmanniana forms thick stands that would presumably increase fire frequency, there was no significant association between E. lehmanniana and fire frequency. Interestingly, medium to high densities of A. palmeri were associated with areas of greater fire frequency. The complex ramifications of E. lehmanniana invasion for the long-lived A. palmeri and interlinked desert community warrant continued study, as these species are likely to continue to be found in close association due to their similar soil preferences.

AB - Cesium-137 (C137) is a radioactive source that could be utilized in the construction of a radioactive dispersal device (RDD). The objective of this study was to examine the uptake of Cs+ by common structural materials in the presence of water by using batch experiments with nonradioactive cesium chloride (CsCl133) as a surrogate for the radionuclide. Uptake kinetics and adsorption isotherms of Cs+ were measured on a diverse set of building materials, as were the effects of pH on the sorption processes. The results showed that wood materials, metal filings, and organic building materials and supplies did not sorb significant amounts of Cs+, but red brick, concrete block, drop ceiling panels, and clay materials retained Cs+ strongly. Adsorption kinetics were fast, and sorption isotherms could be characterized as linear. The solution pH did not have a significant effect on Cs+ sorption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The Land Use Input Canal Output Model (LUICOM) was created for the purpose of predicting canal-mediated, total suspended solids (TSS) loading in receiving estuaries. Tidal flushing (related to the tidal prism) within a subject estuary (i.e., Yellow Bluff Creek) was also evaluated. Estimates of flushing times were based on those estimated for Georgia and South Carolina creeks that have better coverage of hypsometric data. Two rain events were sampled for this effort, and TSS concentrations predicted by LUICOM compared favorably with observed values. With subsidence of each rain event, TSS concentrations gradually decreased to baseline concentration in the receiving estuary. Moreover, LUICOM provided a reasonable estimate of the time of peak TSS. The results of this study suggest that TSS measured in the subject canal and creek increase as the result of significant rain events (>1.0 in. in 3 h). The correlation between model-derived and measured TSS values suggest LUICOM could be used to evaluate changes in a basin's land use as it relates to predicting subsequent increases in TSS discharges. The simplicity of the model makes it an ideal tool for resource managers concerned with changes in land use within coastal areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We assessed the impacts of exposure to an environmentally representative concentration (0.83 mg/L) of the explosive cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) on fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) in one-year and multigenerational bioassays. In the one-year bioassay, impacts were assessed by statistical comparisons of females from breeding groups reared in control or RDX-exposure conditions. The RDX had no significant effect on gonadosomatic index or condition factor assayed at 1 d and at one, three, six, nine, and 12 months. The liver-somatic index was significantly increased versus controls only at the 12-month timepoint. RDX had no significant effect on live-prey capture rates, egg production, or fertilization. RDX caused minimal differential-transcript expression with no consistent discernable effect on gene-functional categories for either brain or liver tissues in the one-year exposure. In the multigenerational assay, the effects of acute (96 h) exposure to RDX were compared in fish reared to the F2 generation in either control or RDX-exposure conditions. Enrichment of gene functions including neuroexcitatory glutamate metabolism, sensory signaling, and neurological development were observed comparing control-reared and RDX-reared fish. Our results indicated that exposure to RDX at a concentration representing the highest levels observed in the environment (0.83 mg/L) had limited impacts on genomic, individual, and population-level endpoints in fathead minnows in a one-year exposure. However, multigenerational exposures altered transcript expression related to neural development and function [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study presents the results of an extensive beneficial-use evaluation of 3/8-in. minus steel slag fines (SSF) to immobilize arsenic. Two primary sets of experiments were undertaken to assess (1) the ability of SSF to immobilize 100 mg/kg arsenite (As3+) and arsenate (As5+) in dredged material when blended with SSF, including slag cement doses (up to 2%) to determine if additional environmental polishing was necessary; and (2) the ability of SSF alone to immobilize each As species. Visually, the SSF materials resemble an AASHTO No. 9 (fine) aggregate, with a small fraction passing the No. 200 (0.075 mm) sieve. In order to establish the design parameters for deploying the slag media in geoenvironmental applications (soil blending, drainage, reactive trenches, and filters), the soil classification and grain-size distribution, specific gravity, loss on ignition (ash content), standard and modified Proctor compaction behavior, direct shear strength, and swell behavior of the SSF media were evaluated. Additionally, the following geochemical attributes of the SSF media were evaluated: bulk chemistry, mineralogy, pH, anion scan, total priority pollutant list (PPL) metals, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), and synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) leaching behavior for PPL metals. Arsenic thresholding studies were performed, in which the uptake of each As source on the SSF materials was evaluated. The SSF materials immobilized approximately 7,900 mg/kgAs3+ and 8,800 mg/kgAs5+, producing TCLP and SPLP concentrations less than 0.010 mg/L in three of four cases.

AB - Batch and column leaching tests were conducted to assess the simultaneous stabilization of copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and tungsten (W) in eight representative contaminated firing range soils in the United States using various amendments. The amendments included granulated ferric oxide (GFO), granulated titanium dioxide (GTD), Pahokee peat soil (PPS), Gascoyne leonardite soil (GLS), Elliot silty loam soil (ESLS), calcium phosphate monobasic (CPM), and apatite II. The metal oxides and the organic soil amendments were applied at a dosage of 10%, and phosphates were applied at phosphorus to lead (P/Pb) molar ratio of 1.8. The experimental results indicated that GFO was superior to all materials tested for simultaneously stabilizing Cu, Pb, and W during the batch leaching tests. Flow-through column tests were conducted for one of the soil samples to test the effectiveness of GFO to immobilize Cu, Pb, and W. The concentrations of Cu, Pb, and W were significantly reduced in the effluent of the amended soil columns as compared with the control soil columns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In the wake of the compound March 2011 nuclear disaster at the Fukushima I nuclear power plant in Japan, international public dialogue has repeatedly turned to questions of the accuracy of current risk assessment processes to assess nuclear risks and the adequacy of existing regulatory risk thresholds to protect us from nuclear harm. We confront these issues with an emphasis on learning from the incident in Japan for future US policy discussions. Without delving into a broader philosophical discussion of the general social acceptance of the risk, the relative adequacy of existing US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) risk thresholds is assessed in comparison with the risk thresholds of federal agencies not currently under heightened public scrutiny. Existing NRC thresholds are found to be among the most conservative in the comparison, suggesting that the agency's current regulatory framework is consistent with larger societal ideals. In turning to risk assessment methodologies, the disaster in Japan does indicate room for growth. Emerging lessons seem to indicate an opportunity to enhance resilience through systemic levels of risk aggregation. Specifically, we believe bringing systemic reasoning to the risk management process requires a framework that (i) is able to represent risk-based knowledge and information about a panoply of threats; (ii) provides a systemic understanding (and representation) of the natural and built environments of interest and their dependencies; and (iii) allows for the rational and coherent valuation of a range of outcome variables of interest, both tangible and intangible. Rather than revisiting the thresholds themselves, we see the goal of future nuclear risk management in adopting and implementing risk assessment techniques that systemically evaluate large-scale socio-technical systems with a view toward enhancing resilience and minimizing the potential for surprise.

AB - Evaluation of dredged material for aquatic placement requires assessment of bioaccumulation potentials for benthic organisms using standardized laboratory bioaccumulation tests. Critical to the interpretation of these data is the assessment of steady state for bioaccumulated residues needed to generate biota sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) and to address control correction of day 0 contaminant residues measured in bioassay organisms. This study applied a novel performance reference compound approach with a pulse-chase experimental design to investigate elimination of a series of isotopically labeled polychlorinated biphenyl (C-PCBs) in the polychaete worm Nereis virens while simultaneously evaluating native PCB bioaccumulation from field-collected sediments. Results demonstrated that all C-PCBs, with the exception of C-PCB209 (> 80%), were eliminated by more than 90% after 28 d. The three sediment types yielded similar C-PCB whole-body elimination rate constants ( k) producing the following predictive equation: log k = − 0.09 × log K − 0.45. The rapid loss of C-PCBs from worms over the bioassay period indicated that control correction, by subtracting day 0 residues, would result in underestimates of bioavailable sediment residues. Significant uptake of native PCBs was observed only in the most contaminated sediment and proceeded according to kinetic model predictions with steady-state BSAFs ranging from 1 to 3 and peaking for congeners of log K between 6.2 and 6.5. The performance reference compound approach can provide novel information about chemical toxicokinetics and also serve as a quality check for the physiological performance of the bioassay organism during standardized bioaccumulation testing.

AB - Military and industrial facilities need secure and reliable power generation. Grid outages can result in cascading infrastructure failures as well as security breaches and should be avoided. Adding redundancy and increasing reliability can require additional environmental, financial, logistical, and other considerations and resources. Uncertain scenarios consisting of emergent environmental conditions, regulatory changes, growth of regional energy demands, and other concerns result in further complications. Decisions on selecting energy alternatives are made on an ad hoc basis. The present work integrates scenario analysis and multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to identify combinations of impactful emergent conditions and to perform a preliminary benefits analysis of energy and environmental security investments for industrial and military installations. Application of a traditional MCDA approach would require significant stakeholder elicitations under multiple uncertain scenarios. The approach proposed in this study develops and iteratively adjusts a scoring function for investment alternatives to find the scenarios with the most significant impacts on installation security. A robust prioritization of investment alternatives can be achieved by integrating stakeholder preferences and focusing modeling and decision-analytical tools on a few key emergent conditions and scenarios. The approach is described and demonstrated for a campus of several dozen interconnected industrial buildings within a major installation.

AB - Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different treatment combinations on bupropion recovery as well as time to return of spontaneous circulation.Methods: We conducted an eight group, randomized, experiment to evaluate combinations of epinephrine, vasopressin, and lipids on the restoration of cardiac function in Yorkshire pigs. After tracking the animals' baseline vitals for 10 minutes, we injected the animals with bupropion (35 mg/kg) and initiated a randomized protocol 2 minutes after cardiac arrest.Results: Results demonstrated that animal survival given treatment combinations including epinephrine were statistically superior to any other group (p < 0.001, Fishers' exact test). The odds of survival with use of epinephrine vs. other options were 22:1 (5.47, 88.43). Further, all animals receiving only lipids died. Cox survival analysis with bootstrapped parameter estimates provided evidence that the rapidity of cardiac recovery was maximized with a combination of epinephrine and lipids (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Lipids may require an additional chemical catalyst in order to be effective in cardiac recovery. Epinephrine and lipids combined shortened recovery time for surviving animals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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

AB - The policies governing appointment to division command in the U.S. Army of World War II included a close consideration of the age factor. General George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, and his key subordinate in matters of mobilization and training, Lieutenant General Lesley J. McNair, considered vitality and stamina to be one of the key prerequisites for the demanding job of division command. A series of new laws and policies, promulgated in 1940-41, facilitated Marshall's desire to promote relatively younger men to posts of high responsibility, including that of division command. Under these policies, the mean age of division commanders dropped by nearly ten years between 1939 and 1943. Moreover, division commanders who actually led in combat were younger, as a group, than the officers who mobilized and trained divisions but never fought them. Officers who departed from division command, whether relieved or elevated to higher posts, generally were succeeded by younger men. Airborne divisions had the youngest commanders, on average, followed by the armored divisions and infantry divisions. The army's sole cavalry division to see combat and its only mountain division had the oldest commanders. All told, the Army employed 263 division commanders from 1 September 1939 to the cessation of hostilities in 1945. Of these, 141 commanded in combat, with a mean age of 50.16 years. These men manifested the balance between experience and youth that Marshall sought in his division commanders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article investigates the various conditions, external and internal, that have determined the contemporary conscription policies of Russia, and what conditions must exist should authorities desire to move toward an all-volunteer force. It starts with a brief examination of the historical background behind current Russian conscription policy, and later looks at contemporary Russian attitudes toward service and the institution of the army. Concerns regarding Russian national security posture and fiscal constraints are then addressed. Despite a shift in mentality among Russia's top leaders as to the orientation of their army's posture, real fiscal conditions limit the implementation of many reforms, including a shift to a more contractual and voluntary form of recruitment. Furthermore, the harsh conditions and sometimes criminal climate that populates Russian units serves as a real deterrent to attract qualified soldiers. Not only do current political sensitivities inhibit further reform, but also it is the culture amidst the army itself that needs modernization. For now, any transition to a more contractual and voluntary form of recruitment will depend on more favorable fiscal conditions and political will to transform age old Russian military climate into one founded on basic respect for others.

AB - The goal of this paper is to introduce the application of a globally convergent inverse scattering algorithm to estimate dielectric constants of targets using time-resolved backscattering data collected by a U.S. Army Research Laboratory forward-looking radar. The processing of the data was conducted blind, i.e., without any prior knowledge of the targets. The problem is solved by formulating the scattering problem as a coefficient inverse problem for a hyperbolic partial differential equation. The main new feature of this algorithm is its rigorously established global convergence property. Calculated values of dielectric constants are in a good agreement with material properties, which were revealed a posteriori. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - Improvements in buried mine detection using remote sensing technology rest on understanding the effects on sensor response of spatial and temporal variability created by soil and environmental conditions. However, research efforts on mine detection have generally emphasized sensor development, while less effort has been made to evaluate the effects of the environmental conditions in which the mines are placed. If the processes governing moisture and temperature distribution near the ground surface can be captured, sensor development and deployment can be more realistically tailored to particular operational scenarios and technologies. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the soil environment on landmine detection by studying the influence of the thermal boundary conditions at the land-atmosphere interface and the buried objects themselves on the spatial and temporal distribution of soil moisture around shallow-buried objects. Two separate large tank experiments were performed with buried objects with different thermal properties. Experimental results were compared to results from a fully coupled heat and mass transfer numerical model. Comparison of experimental and numerical results suggests that the vapor enhancement factor used to adjust the vapor diffusive flux described based on Fick's law is not necessary under dry soil conditions. Data and simulations from this study show that the thermal signature of a buried object depends on the complex interaction among a soil's water content and its thermal and hydraulic properties. Simulated thermal and saturation contrasts were generally very different for a buried landmine than for other buried objects. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - There is a need for electromechanical devices capable of operating in high-temperature environments (>200^\circC) for a wide variety of applications. Today's wide-bandgap semiconductor-based power electronics have demonstrated a potential of operating above 400^\circC, however, they are still limited by packaging. Among the most promising alternatives is the Au–Sn eutectic solder, which has been widely used due to its excellent mechanical and thermal properties. However, the operating temperature of this metallurgical system is still limited to \sim250^\circC owing to its melting temperature of 280^\circC. Therefore, a high-temperature-resistant system is much needed, but without affecting the current processing temperature of \sim325^\circC, typically exhibited in most high-temperature Pb-free solders. In this paper, we present the development and characterization of a fluxless die-attach soldering process based on gold-enriched solid–liquid interdiffusion (SLID). A low-melting-point material (eutectic Au–Sn) is deposited in the face of a substrate, whereas a high-melting-point material, gold in this instance, is deposited in its mating substrate. Deposition of all materials was performed using a jet vapor deposition (JVD) equipment where thicknesses are controlled to achieve specific compositions in the mixture. Sandwiched coupons are isothermally processed in a vacuum reflow furnace for different reflow times. Postprocessed samples confirm the interdiffusion mechanism as evidenced by the formation of sound joints that prove to be thermally stable up to \sim490^\circC after the completion of the SLID process. Differential scanning calorimetry demonstrate the progression of the SLID process by quantifying the remaining low-melting-point constituent as a function of time and temperature, this serving as an indicator of the completion of the soldering process. Mechanical testing reveals a joint with shear strength varying from 39 to 45.5 MPa, demonstrating to be stable even after 500 h of isothermal aging. Moreover, these investigations successfully demonstrate the use of the Au–Sn SLID system and the JVD technology as potential manufacturing processes and as a lead-free die-attach technology.

AB - Wind tunnel measurements of the performance, airloads, and structural loads of a full-scale UH-60A Black Hawk main rotor operating at high advance ratios (up to 1.0) are compared with calculations obtained using the comprehensive rotorcraft analysis Comprehensive Analytical Model of Rotorcraft Aerodynamics and Dynamics II to understand physics and quantify this comprehensive code's accuracy and reliability in the prediction of rotor performance and loads at high-advance ratios. Detailed comparisons are made on rotor thrust, control angles, power, and section loads to illustrate and understand unique aeromechanics phenomena in this regime. The analysis correctly predicts the thrust reversal with collective at high advance ratios. Rotor induced plus profile power is also reasonably well predicted with proper modeling of the shank. Airloads and structural loads correlation is fair. A significant underprediction of 2-per-revolution structural loads is observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper documents the prediction of UH-6OA Black Hawk aerodynamic loading using the multisolver Computational Fluid Dynamics/Computational Structural Dynamics analysis framework for rotorcraft Hellos for a range of critical steady forward flight conditions. Comparisons with available flight test data are provided for all of the predictions. The Hellos framework combines multiple solvers and multiple grid paradigms (unstructured and adaptive Cartesian) such that the advantages of each paradigm is preserved. Further, the software is highly automated for execution and designed in a modular fashion to minimize the burden on both the users and developers. The technical approach presented herein provides details of all of the participant modules and the interfaces used for their integration into the software framework. The results composed of sectional aerodynamic loading and wake visualizations are presented. Solution-based adapative mesh refinement, a salient feature of the Hellos framework, is explored for all flight conditions and comparisons are provided for both aerodynamic loading and vortex wake structure with and without adaptive mesh refinement.

AB - This study examined the protective effects of hardiness (dispositional resilience) on self-reported posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in a sample of postdeployed service members. Hardiness was negatively related to PTSD symptoms. Time in the military, number of deployments, and total time spent on deployment were all positively related to PTSD symptoms. Hardiness moderated the effects of time in the military on PTSD symptoms, such that time in the military had no effect on those who were high in hardiness. Hardiness did not moderate the effects of either deployment measure. Suggestions to modify current military resilience training programs to most effectively enhance the bene?ts of hardiness are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Engineers and scientists often identify robust parameter design as one of the most important process and quality improvement methods. Focused on statistical modeling and numerical optimization strategies, most researchers typically assume a process with reasonably small variability. Realistically, however, industrial processes often exhibit larger variability, particularly in mass production lines. In such cases, many of the modeling assumptions behind the robust parameter design models available in the literature do not hold. Accordingly, the results and recommendations provided to decision makers could generate suboptimal modifications to processes and products. As manufacturers seek improved methods for ensuring quality in resource-constrained environments, experimenters should examine trade-offs to achieve the levels of precision that best support their decision making. In contrast to previous research, this paper proposes a trade-off analysis between the cost of replication and the desired precision of generated solutions. We consider several techniques in the early stages of experimental design, using Monte Carlo simulation as a tool, for revealing potential options to the decision maker. This is perhaps the first study to show the avenue which may lead to more effective robust parameter design models with the optimal combination of cost constraints and desired precision of solutions.

AB - A method is presented to consistently tie future mean sea level rise (MSLR) scenario projections to local geodetic and tidal datums. This extends the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) guidance for incorporating the effects of future MSLR into coastal projects. While USACE relies on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 19-year National Tidal Datum Epoch (NTDE) for its datum relationships, the approach proposed herein generalizes this guidance by choosing the appropriate 19-year epoch centered on the start year of the MSLR scenario under consideration. The procedure takes into account the local annual sea level variability, which confounds the matching to any given single year while generalizing and preserving the 19-year averaging long used by NOAA to calculate the NTDE. Examples of the MSLR scenario matching procedure are given using actual data and projections for La Jolla, California, and Sewells Point (Hampton Roads), Virginia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sea-level rise (SLR) estimates vary broadly, but most estimates predict significant increases in sea levels within the next century. Through the use of validated, coupled wave and hydrodynamic models, this study investigates SLR effects on storm surge and nearshore waves, including variation with coastal landscape type and storm characteristics. Both the wave and hydrodynamic models account for bottom friction based on land-use type, so the modeling procedure accounted for SLR-related changes to land cover, in addition to higher mean sea levels. Simulation of storms with similar meteorological characteristics and track but with landfall in the northeastern and southwestern coastal areas allowed examination of how the coastal features influenced the storm surge and wave response to increased sea levels. The simulation results analyzed here demonstrate that the relationship between storm surge and relative SLR (RSLR) varies between geographic region and storm scenario. The increase in an inundated area is linear in the north, and in the south, the inundated area approaches the northern values for similar storms asymptotically. Nearshore wave results indicate, as expected, that larger water depths created by positive RSLR and amplified surge allow larger waves to propagate into inland areas. For the Texas simulations, it was found that an increase in hurricane wind speeds of 25% is approximately equivalent to a RSLR of 0.5 m in terms of increased area of inundation impact. Because of the complexities of storm-surge dependency on storm strength, track, and local topography, there is no one-size-fits-all response to RSLR descriptive of all locations. Site-specific computer modeling should be used to evaluate the risk facing coastal communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper describes the experiences of using an advanced, low-cost robot in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. It presents three innovations: It is a powerful, cheap, robust, and small advanced personal robot; it forms the foundation of a problem-based learning curriculum; and it enables a novel multi-robot curriculum while fostering collaborative team work on assignments. The robot design has many features specific to educators: It is advanced enough for academic research, has a broad feature set to support a wide range of curricula, and is inexpensive enough to be an effective outreach tool. The low cost allows each student to have their own robot for the semester, so they can work on activities outside the classroom. This robot was used in three different classes in which it was the foundation for an innovative problem-based learning curriculum. In particular, the robot has specialized sensors and a communications system that supports novel multi-robot curricula, which encourage student interaction in new ways. The results are promising; the robot was a big success in graduate, undergraduate, and outreach activities. Finally, student assessments indicate a greater interest and understanding of engineering and other STEM majors, and class evaluations were consistently above average. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A randomly varying ground impedance is introduced into the solution for the sound field produced by a point source in a homogeneous atmosphere above a flat ground. The results show that in general the ground with a random impedance cannot be represented by an effective, non-random impedance. The behavior of the solution is studied with a relaxation model for the impedance in which porosity and the static flow resistivity are random variables. Mean values and standard deviations are adopted from measurements of two types of ground surfaces. For both surfaces, the mean intensity of the sound field above a random-impedance ground deviates only slightly from the intensity above a non-random impedance. The normalized standard deviation of intensity fluctuations can, however, be greater than one, thus indicating that for a particular realization of the random impedance, the sound intensity might significantly deviate from the intensity for a non-random impedance.

AB - Abstract: The debate about the cognitive mechanisms behind human temporal processing has raged for decades without a clear resolution. The theory presented here describes a different perspective to the traditional accounts on the issue, namely, that motor behaviors or sequences of motor behaviors provide a means of reproducing time intervals. Evidence behind this perspective includes tapping strategies (exemplified by musicians), counting strategies, and neuropsychological results showing activation of motor areas during temporal cognitive tasks. I propose that motor behaviors aid human timing by offering a set of processes that consistently take a set amount of time to accomplish. Motor behaviors also allow segmentation of larger intervals into smaller intervals that are easier to estimate. I conclude with a discussion of implications of this perspective on temporal cognition.

AB - In this paper, numerical simulations are used to study the turbulent wind noise reduction effect of microphone windscreens with varying shapes and flow resistivities. Typical windscreen shapes consisting of circular, elliptical, and rectangular cylinders are investigated. A turbulent environment is generated by placing a solid circular cylinder upstream of the microphone. An immersed-boundary method with a fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme is implemented to enhance the simulation accuracy for high-Reynolds number flow around the solid cylinder as well as at the interface between the open air and the porous material comprising the windscreen. The Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow are solved in the open air. For the flow inside the porous material, a modified form of the Zwikker-Kosten equation is solved. The results show that, on average, the circular and horizontal ellipse windscreens have similar overall wind noise reduction performance, while the horizontal ellipse windscreen with medium flow resistivity provides the most effective wind noise reduction among all the considered cases. The vertical ellipse windscreen with high flow resistivity, in particular, increases the wind noise because of increased self-generation of turbulence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The concept of networks has become synonymous with terrorism in recent years. Despite the abundance of material engaging the concept of terrorist networks, there is a paucity of research that applies analytic network methods to the empirical study of observed data. This article fills that void by comparing two arguments about terror network structure using a newly released attack network data set. One account suggests that terrorists purposefully structure their networks to maximize operational security (OPSEC) by minimizing connections, while an alternate proposition relies on findings in network sciences showing that many networks have a few well-connected individuals (referred to as scale-free structure). Empirical analysis of six evolving attack networks produces results contradicting both assertions. This article then looks beyond structure to examine whether there are any causal relationships between network characteristics and output, specifically attack casualties. The article concludes by examining possible drivers of network structure and pertinent policy implications. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - While experts understand that Al Qaeda's attack patterns and operational qualities are changing, they struggle to identify and generate consensus on Al Qaeda's strategic center of gravity. By defining different levels of Al Qaeda, core, periphery, and movement, this article engages current debates about the threat by focusing on the operational differences across these three levels. Contrary to conventional wisdom about operational efficiency, the social movement has a higher success rate but the core imposes greater costs as measured by casualties. The cells or networks actually executing the attacks also display substantive differences. The social movement networks organize in smaller cells than either affiliated groups or the core; however, they display greater levels of connectedness. The affiliated and organization cells display fewer connections, suggestive of more disciplined operational procedure despite lower success rates. These patterns reflect fundamental differences across characterizations of Al Qaeda, and have significant implications for counterterrorism efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Simulation plays a vital role in analyzing discrete-event systems, particularly in comparing alternative system designs with a view to optimizing system performance. Using simulation to analyze complex systems, however, can be both prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. Effective algorithms to allocate intelligently a computing budget for discrete-event simulation experiments are presented in this paper. These algorithms dynamically determine the simulation lengths for all simulation experiments and thus significantly improve simulation efficiency under the constraint of a given computing budget. Numerical illustrations are provided and the algorithms are compared with traditional two-stage ranking-and-selection procedures through numerical experiments. Although the proposed approach is based on heuristics, the numerical results indicate that it is much more efficient than the compared procedures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The authors developed and tested a multistage model of distal and proximal predictors of leader performance in an effort to shed greater light on the intermediate linkages between broad leader traits and performance. Predictor and criterion data were obtained from 471 noncommissioned officers in the U.S. Army. A model with cognitive ability and 3 of the Big 5 personality factors as distal antecedents, leadership experiences and motivation to lead as semidistal antecedents, and the knowledge, skills, and ability (KSAs) to lead as proximal antecedents of leader performance provided a good fit to the data. More specifically, the effects of the distal and semidistal antecedents on leader performance were partially mediated by more proximal variables, whereas leader KSAs demonstrated a relatively strong, direct influence on performance. The 1 exception was that Conscientiousness—a hypothesized distal antecedent—had a notable direct effect on leader performance. The implications of these findings for leadership research and practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Researchers posit that adaptability is an important contributor of performance and that it mediates the effects of distal predictors on performance. As limited empirical evidence supports these relationships, the present research examined whether adaptive skill mediated the effects of values on performance for military leaders. We found that adaptive skill was a distinct construct which uniquely contributed to overall performance. Further, we found that adaptive skill fully mediated the effects of values on technical-administrative behaviors and partially mediated the effects of values on contextual performance and leader behaviors. We discuss the need to further test the nomological network of KSAO-adaptability-performance relationships. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Details on fall-related circumstances, a leading cause of occupational injury, are scarce. This study aimed to identify modifiable causes of falls using data from safety reports. Coded and narrative data on injured persons, event locations, and circumstances associated with falls sustained by U.S. Army personnel were obtained from safety reports dated September 1994–September 2002. Descriptive statistics are presented for injury outcomes and risk factors, with a focus on falls from elevation. On average, 59 fall-related injuries/100,000 person-years were reported. Higher rates occurred among whites, single persons, and 20–24 year-olds. Falls from elevation resulted in more severe outcomes, longer hospitalizations, and more lost work time compared to falls from the same level. Most falls from elevation occurred in training (32%) and housing (18%) areas. Leading causes included routine activities (e.g., walking, entering/exiting vehicles) (35%), physical training (12%), and sports (12%). Interventions to prevent falls from elevation in this population should focus on reducing risks from routine activities, specifically in training and housing areas. Safety reports provided details necessary for prioritizing and planning fall prevention efforts that are not available from other sources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An optimal stopping problem for stochastic differential equations with random coefficients is considered. The dynamic programming principle leads to a Hamiltion-Jacobi-Bellman equation, which, for the current case, is a backward stochastic partial differential variational inequality (BSPDVI, for short) for the value function. Well-posedness of such a BSPDVI is established, and a verification theorem is proved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A genetic programming method for solving inverse scattering problems involving cylindrical targets composed of either homogeneous or inhomogeneous dielectrics is presented. Specifically, a tree-shaped chromosome is used to combine convex polygons using either Boolean operations (for homogeneous targets) or an overlapping scheme (for inhomogeneous targets). Convex polygons residing in the terminal nodes of the tree are represented as the convex hull of a variable length list of points. Genetic programming then optimizes the geometry and topology of the target along with all material values. Results show that the method is accurate for a broad class of scattering targets.

AB - The tragic events of 9/11 and the concerns about the potential for a terrorist or hostile state attack with weapons of mass destruction have led to an increased emphasis on risk analysis for homeland security. Uncertain hazards (natural and engineering) have been successfully analyzed using probabilistic risk analysis (PRA). Unlike uncertain hazards, terrorists and hostile states are intelligent adversaries who can observe our vulnerabilities and dynamically adapt their plans and actions to achieve their objectives. This article compares uncertain hazard risk analysis with intelligent adversary risk analysis, describes the intelligent adversary risk analysis challenges, and presents a probabilistic defender–attacker–defender model to evaluate the baseline risk and the potential risk reduction provided by defender investments. The model includes defender decisions prior to an attack; attacker decisions during the attack; defender actions after an attack; and the uncertainties of attack implementation, detection, and consequences. The risk management model is demonstrated with an illustrative bioterrorism problem with notional data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - Introduction: The pulsatile secretion pattern of growth hormone (GH) is an important parameter of GH action at peripheral tissues, and more information is needed on how exercise impacts GH secretion. This study hypothesized that both aerobic and resistance exercise would exhibit dose-response relationships with respect to exercise duration and 20-h postexercise GH secretion. Methods: Eight healthy men randomly completed five separate conditions: 1) control (no exercise; CON), 2) a moderate-duration (1-h) aerobic exercise session (MA), 3) a long-duration (2-h) aerobic exercise session (LA), 4) a moderate-duration (1-h) resistance exercise session (MR), and 5) a long-duration (2-h) resistance exercise session (LR). Exercise intensity, diet, sleep, and physical activity were strictly controlled during each condition, and blood was sampled postexercise every 20 min for 20 h, and GH secretion parameters were analyzed via cluster and deconvolution analyses. Results: Only the 2-h aerobic exercise bout resulted in a significant amplification of GH secretion as evidenced by increases in GH burst peak amplitude (~100%), basal GH secretion rate (~127%), total GH basal secretion (~120%), total pulsatile secretion (~88%), and total GH secretion (~89%) over the control (i.e., no exercise) condition. GH secretions for the resistance exercise conditions were not different from control. Conclusions: The fact that the 2-h aerobic exercise condition resulted in higher energy expenditure than the other exercise conditions could offer a partial explanation for the greater GH amplification because of the metabolic effects that GH exerts in stimulating postexercise lipolysis. We conclude that extending the duration of aerobic exercise, but not resistance exercise, from 1- to 2-h significantly amplifies GH secretion during a 20-h period. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - This study quantified how body borne load impacts hip and knee biomechanics during anticipated and unanticipated single-leg cutting maneuvers. Fifteen male military personnel performed a series of single-leg cutting maneuvers with three different load configurations (light, ~6 kg, medium, ~ 20 kg, and heavy, ~40kg). Subject-based means of the specific lower limb biomechanical variables were submitted to repeated measures ANOVA to test the main and interaction effects of body borne load and movement type. With body borne load, stance time (P < 0.001) increased, while larger hip (P = 0.027) and knee flexion (P=0.004), and hip adduction ( P < 0.001) moments, and decreased hip (P = 0.002) and knee flexion ( P < 0.001), and hip adduction (P = 0.003) postures were evident. Further, the hip (P < 0.001) and ankle (P = 0.024) increased energy absorption, while the knee (P=0.020) increased energy generation with body borne load. During the unanticipated maneuvers, the hip (P=0.009) and knee (P = 0.032) increased energy generation, and peak hip flexion moment ( P = 0.002 ) increased relative to the anticipated movements. With the body borne load, participants adopted biomechanical patterns that decreased their locomotive ability including larger moments and reduced flexion postures of the lower limb. During the single-leg cut, participants used greater energy absorption from the large, proximal muscles of the hip and greater energy generation from the knee with the addition of load. Participant's performance when carrying a range of loads was not compromised by anticipation, as they did not exhibit the hip and knee kinetic and kinematic adaptations previously demonstrated when reacting to an unplanned stimulus.

N2 - The article reports on research which was conducted to investigate the comparative adaptations of lower limb biomechanics during unilateral and bilateral landings after different neuromuscular-based anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention protocols. Researchers evaluated the lower limb biomechanics of 43 female subjects during unilateral and bilateral landings immediately before and after a six-week neuromuscular training program or no training program. They found that plyometric training led to signifcant biomechanical changes but concluded that the changes may not be evident in all landing types.

N2 - Heat stress and hydration may both alter plasma volume (PV) responses during acute exercise; potential interactions have not been fully studied. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of graded elevations in skin temperature (Tsk) on PV changes during steady-state exercise under conditions of euhydration (EU) and hypohydration (HYPO, -4% of body mass). Thirty-two men (22 ± 4 yr) were divided into four cohorts (n = 8 each) and completed EU and HYPO trials in one environment [ambient temperature (Ta) 10, 20, 30, and 40°C]. Thirty minutes of cycle ergometry (50% V̇o2peak) was performed. Core (Tre) and mean skin (Tsk) temperatures were measured; changes in PV, total circulating protein (TCP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were calculated; and skin blood flow (SkBF) was estimated. Hypohydration decreased (P < 0.05) PV by 200 ml (-5.7%) but did not alter TCP. Plasma loss was not different between EU and HYPO during exercise at any Ta. Plasma losses were greater (P < 0.05) with elevated Ta with an average -130, -174, -294, and -445 ml losses during the 10, 20, 30, and 40°C trials, respectively. Significant (P < 0.05) correlations (r = 0.50 to 0.84) were found between ΔTCP and ΔPV during exercise when Tsk was cool/warm (<33°C; Ta 10, 20, and 30°C), but not at 40°C (high Tsk). We conclude that 1) graded skin warming proportionally accentuated plasma loss; 2) plasma loss was associated with plasma protein efflux at lower Tsk and SkBF; 3) at high Tsk, additional plasma loss likely results from increased net filtration at the capillaries; and 4) HYPO did not alter vascular fluid loss during exercise in any environment.

N2 - Background: The objective of this innovative research study was to describe clinical shoulder complex range of motion (ROM) measures for a young, healthy, and physically active population. This investigation represents a crosssectional experiment conducted at a military academy-based sports medicine center. Military cadets with no history of shoulder complex injury were assessed within two months of enrollment in the academy; 548 men (18.8 ± 1.0 yr, 75.2 ± 12.2 kg, 178.3 ± 7.4 cm) and 74 women (18.7 ± 0.9 yr, 63.2 ± 8.9 kg, 165.2 ± 6.9 cm) participated. Descriptive measures included cross-body adduction (CAD), flexion (FLX), external rotation (ER0) with the shoulder complex in adduction and elbow flexed to 90°, internal and external rotation (IR, ER) with the shoulder complex at 90° of abduction and elbow flexed to 90° as well as arc (ARC) of IR-ER using standardized clinical quantification techniques. Bilateral and sex differences were evaluated using dependent and independent t-tests, respectively. Percentiles by arm dominance and sex were also calculated for all ROM measures. Results: Data were normally distributed. Active and passive ROM measures indicated significant bilateral differences (P < 0.05) except for ARC. Sex differences (P < 0.05) were noted for active and passive CAD, FLX and ER0 for the dominant arm as well as active and passive CAD, FLX and ARC for the non-dominant arm. Conclusions: These original data provide descriptive measures for shoulder complex ROM excursions, assisting sports medicine practitioners in potentially identifying clinical deficiencies and functional outcomes following shoulder injury.

N2 - The Thai HIV phase III prime/boost vaccine trial (RV144) using ALVAC-HIV (vCP1521) and AIDSVAX B/E was, to our knowledge, the first to demonstrate acquisition efficacy. Vaccine-induced, cell-mediated immune responses were assessed. T cell epitope mapping studies using IFN-γ ELISPOT was performed on PBMCs from HIV-1-uninfected vaccine (n=61) and placebo (n=10) recipients using HIV-1 Env peptides. Positive responses were measured in 25 (41%) vaccinees and were predominantly CD4+ T cell-mediated. Responses were targeted within the HIV Env region, with 15 of 25 (60%) of vaccinees recognizing peptides derived from the V2 region of HIV-1 Env, which includes the α4β7 integrin binding site. Intracellular cytokine staining confirmed that Env responses predominated (19 of 30; 63% of vaccine recipients) and were mediated by polyfunctional effector memory CD4+ T cells, with the majority of responders producing both IL-2 and IFN-γ (12 of 19; 63%). HIV Env Ab titers were higher in subjects with IL-2 compared with those without IL-2-secreting HIV Env-specific effector memory T cells. Proliferation assays revealed that HIV Ag-specific T cells were CD4+, with the majority (80%) expressing CD107a. HIV-specific T cell lines obtained from vaccine recipients confirmed V2 specificity, polyfunctionality, and functional cytolytic capacity. Although the RV144 T cell responses were modest in frequency compared with humoral immune responses, the CD4+ T cell response was directed to HIV-1 Env and more particularly the V2 region.

N2 - After a 12-year hiatus, military recruit training centers resumed administration of adenovirus type 4 and type 7 vaccine, live, oral (adenovirus vaccine) to trainees beginning in October of 2011. Subsequently, rates of febrile respiratory illnesses (FRI) and adenovirus isolations markedly declined. These findings are consistent with those of a placebo-controlled efficacy trial conducted prior to the vaccine's licensure by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Continued surveillance will clarify the longer term impact of vaccine use.

N2 - Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus (RVFV) can cause severe human disease characterized by either acute-onset hepatitis, delayed-onset encephalitis, retinitis and blindness, or a hemorrhagic syndrome. The existing nonhuman primate (NHP) model for RVF utilizes an intravenous (i.v.) exposure route in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). Severe disease in these animals is infrequent, and large cohorts are needed to observe significant morbidity and mortality. To overcome these drawbacks, we evaluated the infectivity and pathogenicity of RVFV in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) by i.v., subcutaneous (s.c.), and intranasal exposure routes to more closely mimic natural exposure. Marmosets were more susceptible to RVFV than rhesus macaques and experienced higher rates of morbidity, mortality, and viremia and marked aberrations in hematological and chemistry values. An overwhelming infection of hepatocytes was a major consequence of infection of marmosets by the i.v. and s.c. exposure routes. Additionally, these animals displayed signs of hemorrhagic manifestations and neurological impairment. Based on our results, the common marmoset model more closely resembles severe human RVF disease and is therefore an ideal model for the evaluation of potential vaccines and therapeutics.

N2 - Countering aerosolized filovirus infection is a major priority of biodefense research. Aerosol models of filovirus infection have been developed in knock-out mice, guinea pigs and non-human primates; however, filovirus infection of immunocompetent mice by the aerosol route has not been reported. A murine model of aerosolized filovirus infection in mice should be useful for screening vaccine candidates and therapies. In this study, various strains of wild-type and immunocompromised mice were exposed to aerosolized wild-type (WT) or mouse-adapted (MA) Ebola virus (EBOV). Upon exposure to aerosolized WT-EBOV, BALB/c, C57BL/6 (B6), and DBA/2 (D2) mice were unaffected, but 100% of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and 90% of signal transducers and activators of transcription (Stat1) knock-out (KO) mice became moribund between 7-9 days post-exposure (dpe). Exposure to MA-EBOV caused 15% body weight loss in BALB/c, but all mice recovered. In contrast, 10-30% lethality was observed in B6 and D2 mice exposed to aerosolized MA-EBOV, and 100% of SCID, Stat1 KO, interferon (IFN)-γ KO and Perforin KO mice became moribund between 7-14 dpe. In order to identify wild-type, inbred, mouse strains in which exposure to aerosolized MA-EBOV is uniformly lethal, 60 BXD (C57BL/6 crossed with DBA/2) recombinant inbred (RI) and advanced RI (ARI) mouse strains were exposed to aerosolized MA-EBOV, and monitored for disease severity. A complete spectrum of disease severity was observed. All BXD strains lost weight but many recovered. However, infection was uniformly lethal within 7 to 12 days post-exposure in five BXD strains. Aerosol exposure of these five BXD strains to 10-fold less MA-EBOV resulted in lethality ranging from 0% in two strains to 90-100% lethality in two strains. Analysis of post-mortem tissue from BXD strains that became moribund and were euthanized at the lower dose of MA-EBOV, showed liver damage in all mice as well as lung lesions in two of the three strains. The two BXD strains that exhibited 90-100% mortality, even at a low dose of airborne MA-EBOV will be useful mouse models for testing vaccines and therapies. Additionally, since disease susceptibility is affected by complex genetic traits, a systems genetics approach was used to identify preliminary gene loci modulating disease severity among the panel BXD strains. Preliminary quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified that are likely to harbor genes involved in modulating differential susceptibility to Ebola infection.

AB - BACKGROUND: There is a scarcity of analytic research on active duty Army (ADA) knee injuries (KI), such as soft tissue knee injuries (STKI), which are the predominant ADA KI pattern. PURPOSE: To quantify the independent adjusted association of significant ADA STKI risk factors, 2000-2005. MATERIALS/METHODS: Using the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database, we (1) captured absolute STKI numbers and rates (N = 83,323) and (2) developed regression models to determine significant STKI risk factors. Models included STKI overall and subcategories: meniscus, patella, anterior/posterior cruciate ligament, and medial/lateral cruciate ligament. RESULTS: Eight risk factors significantly increased STKI. They are: (1) prior KI (within 2 years) (odds ratio [OR] 9.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 9.67-10.00); (2) increasing length of service (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.76-1.90); (3) increasing age (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.50-1.65); (4) prior deployment (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.36-1.41); (5) prior ankle injury (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.14-1.19); (6) Infantry occupation (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04-1.21); (7) marital status (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.08-1.12); (8) and prior hip injury (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.12). MAJOR CONCLUSION: Soldiers with a prior KI have nearly a 10-fold increased relative risk of developing a subsequent STKI.

AB - This study compared three-dimensional trunk and pelvis range of motion (ROM) during a sustained asymmetric box lift/lower task between a group with a history of low back pain (HBP,n = 9) and a group with no history of low back pain (NBP,n = 9). Participants lifted an 11-kg box for 10 min at 12 cycles/min from ankle height in front to shelves 45 deg off-centre at waist height. Kinematic data were collected at the beginning (min1), middle (min5) and end of the bout (min9). Two-way analyses of variance were performed for all variables. Pelvis and trunk transverse ROM were similar at min1. By min9, HBP group did not change (31.9 ± 9 deg); however, ROM decreased in NBP group (21.6 ± 6 deg,p< 0.05). Therefore, despite no current pain, the HBP group demonstrated protective lifting mechanics compared to controls. Also discussed are implications for studying lifting paradigms at sub-maximal effort over longer periods of time. Practitioner summary:Differences between groups over time demonstrate residual consequences of low back pain (LBP) in a manual materials handling scenario. Individuals with a history of LBP (pain free for 6 months) demonstrated more conservative lifting mechanics towards the end of the bout compared to controls with no history of LBP.

AB - OBJECTIVE: Determine if a higher level of Army flight medic (AFM) training was associated with improved physiological state on arrival to a combat support hospital (CSH). METHODS: A retrospective study comparing casualties who were evacuated by two AFM units with only Emergency Medical Technicians-Basic (EMT-Bs) to an Army National Guard unit with Critical Care Flight Paramedics (CCFPs) in Afghanistan with an injury severity score >16 in different time periods looking at their 48-hour mortality, hematocrit (HCT), base deficit (BD), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and physiological parameters on arrival to the CSH. RESULTS: The CCFP group had better HCT [36.5 (8.8)] than the EMT-B group [33.1 (11.4); p <= 0.001]. BD and SpO2 were better in the CCFP group [-3.2 (4.7)]/[97.8 (4.8)] than the EMT-B group [-4.4 (5.5)]/[96.3 (10.9)] [p <= 0.014]. The CCFP group had a 72% lower estimated risk ratio of mortality with an associated improvement in 48-hour survivability of 4.9% versus 15.8% for the EMT-B-group. CONCLUSIONS: There is a statistically significant improvement in the HCT, BD, SpO2, and 48-hour survivability at the CSH in the cohort transported by the CCFP group when compared to the cohort transported by the EMT-B group.

AB - Previous studies have not reported activities associated with injuries in initial entry training (IET) because these data were seldom available in medical records and not contained in electronic databases. This investigation obtained activities associated with outpatient encounters in IET recorded by primary medical care providers at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Data were entered into a standard database that included fields for diagnosis and activity associated with the injury. Fifty percent of the new injury encounters (i.e., exclusive of follow-ups) were not associated with a specific event but were reported as having a gradual onset. Other activities included physical training (16%), road marching (15%), confidence/obstacle courses (5%), and barracks activities (3%). Risks per unit of training time were estimated at 13, 62, and 97 injuries per hour for physical training, road marching, and the confidence/obstacle courses, respectively. The most frequently recorded diagnoses were joint pain (27%), strains (15%), blisters (14%), sprains (13%), and tendonitis (12%). The types of injuries and their anatomical locations were similar to those reported in other IET investigations, although blister-related encounters were higher. This investigation identifies activities with the highest risk of injury in IET and those that should be targeted for injury prevention efforts.

AB - Background: The use of religious practices to promote mental health among African Americans is well documented. African Americans are more likely to report strong religious affiliations and to use religion over prescribed medications for mental health problems. However, few studies have explored how African Americans use religious practices in response to stressful life events. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine how African American women and men find comfort in using scripture passages from The Bible. Methods: Fifty-four African American adults residing in the Southeastern United States participated in a qualitative descriptive study using open-ended semistructured interviews. Participants were asked to describe their use of scripture passages from The Bible and the personal meanings associated with these scriptures in the context of a family death or life-threatening illness. Results: These participants used scripture passages categorized as God as Protector, God as Beneficent, Praise and Thanksgiving, God as Healer, Memory of Forefathers, Prayers to God, and Life after Death. Few gender differences were noted. However, women were more likely to use scripture passages of Godas Protector and Life after Death, whereas men were more likely to use God as Beneficent and God as Healer. Discussion: The religious practice of reading scripture passages from The Bible is a mental health-promoting strategy used during stressful life events. The findings of this study have practical uses for nurses and can be used to inform acceptable and sensitive approaches in addressing mental health issues and spiritual care needs in African American patients.

AB - The present experiment tested 60 individuals on a multiple screen, visual target detection task. Using a within-participant design, individuals received no-cue augmentation, an augmenting tactile cue alone, an augmenting auditory cue alone or both of the latter augmentations in combination. Results showed significant and substantive improvements in performance such that successful search speed was facilitated by more than 43%, errors of omission were reduced by 86% and errors of commission were reduced by more than 77% in the combinatorial cueing condition compared with the non-cued control. These outcomes were not a trade of performance efficiency for associated mental effort because recorded levels of cognitive workload were also reduced by more than 30% in the multi-cued circumstance compared with the control condition. When the tactile modality was incorporated it led to the highest gain in performance speed, when the auditory modality was incorporated, it led to the best levels of performance accuracy. The combined condition rendered the best of each from of performance increment. Reasons for this outcome pattern are discussed alongside their manifest practical benefits. Practitioner Summary: This experiment tested 60 individuals on a multiple screen, visual target detection task. Individuals received no-cue augmentation, tactile cue alone, an augmenting auditory cue alone or both of the latter augmentations in combination. Results showed significant and substantive improvements in the combinatorial cueing condition compared with the non-cued control.

AB - We examined the effect of body water deficits on standing balance and sought to determine if plasma hyperosmolality (Posm) and/or volume reduction (%[Delta]Vplasma) exerted independent effects. Nine healthy volunteers completed three experimental trials which consisted of a euhydration (EUH) balance test, a water deficit session and a hypohydration (HYP) balance test. Hypohydration was achieved both by exercise-heat stress to 3% and 5% body mass loss (BML), and by a diuretic to 3% BML. Standing balance was assessed during quiet standing on a force platform with eyes open and closed. With eyes closed, hypohydration significantly decreased medial-lateral sway path and velocity by 13% (both p < .040). However, 95% confidence intervals for the mean difference between EUH and HYP were all within the coefficient of variation of EUH measures, indicating limited practical importance. Neither Vplasma loss nor Posm increases were associated with changes in balance. We concluded that standing balance was not altered by hypohydration.

AB - In 2001, Congress enacted legislation that required a 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round to realign military units, remove excess facility capacity, and support defense transformation. The United States Army used multiple-objective decision analysis to determine the military value of installations and an installation portfolio model to develop the starting point to identify potential unit realignments and base closures, providing the basis for all recommendations. Ninety-five percent of the army's recommendations were accepted by the BRAC 2005 Commission. The army expects these recommendations to create recurring savings of $1.5 billion annually after completion of BRAC implementation. This paper offers four contributions to decision analysis literature: an instructive application of multiple-objective decision analysis methods to portfolio selection, a useful method for constructing scales for interdependent attributes, a new method for assessing weights that explicitly considers importance and variation (Swing Weight Matrix), and practical advice on how to use multiple-objective decision analysis methods in a complex and controversial political environment.

AB - The chapter deals with the prospects for future development in aquaculture. The prospects are positive but there are some constraints that must addressed. In commercial terms, the sector remains a young form of business. Distribution of aquaculture products will grow worldwide. There will be an increase in the number of aquatic species that will be cultivated and eventually domesticated will increase as new technology becomes available. Projected annual increases of the aquaculture industry is 10 to 40 percent.

AB - The chapter discusses the factors promoting and constraining aquaculture. A good market for products and skillful entrepreneurs as some of the incentives for aquaculture development. There are additional prerequisites including favorable legislation, that if not present can obstruct or prevent the development of an aquacultural endeavor. Aquaculture operation is dependent on capital, seed and feed and competent management. Marketing products through commercial channels is very important for aquaculture.

AB - The chapter discusses comparisons between production on land and in water and between yields in the fisheries and aquaculture. Production on land consists of plant like cereals and root crops while aquatic production consists of shellfish, fish, marine mammals, inverterbrates and macroalgae. The edible part of different food items varies considerably and it can be calculated by subtracting the amount of wastes from the gross quantity to obtain the net quantity. The reasons for discrepancies between land and aquatic-based production are presented.

AB - The chapter discusses the global production of aquaculture products. It was estimated at 1 million metric tons in 1966 and by 1989 it was more than 14 times of 1 million metric tons. It is predicted that aquaculture production will continue to grow from 20 to 25 million metric tons by the year 2000 and up to 60 million metric tons by 2025. From 1984 to 1989, the annual average increase in aquaculture production was 6.8 percent. The use of ponds and tanks are the leading form of aquaculture production during the mid-1980s. Asian countries that are primary producers of cultured aquatic species include China and the Philippines.

AB - The chapter provides an overview of important indigenous and introduced aquacultural taxa in various part of the world. The rainbow trout, the Atlantic Salmon, Pacific salmon and Chinese carps are some of the genera of fish that dominate the international aquaculture scene. Tilapia farming was started in Egypt and some believe that it is older than the Chinese carp culture in China. The most cosmopolitan finfishes introduced and cultured in most countries are the common carp and rainbow trout. Tropical and subtropical shrimps belonging in the genera Penaeus and Metapenaeus are among the financially attractive aquacultural species in countries with a suitable climate.

AB - The chapter addresses the factors involved in the selection of species suitable for aquaculture. Thermal minina are often serious constraints to aquaculture in temperate climate. Oxygen-rich waters are needed by species for optimum growth and survival. Cultivated aquatic species' protein requirements range from 25 percent to 55 percent of the total feed ingredients, but it varies as a function of the life cycle stage. Thermal shock of the fertilized egg and gynogenesis are the two techniques that are widely employed by producers of grass carp and rainbow trout.

AB - The chapter deals with the important components of aquaculture. Strain selection, breeding, nutrition and disease are the problems caused by high density environment. A scheme of the major biological, technical and socio-economical factors influencing the development of aquaculture are illustrated. It is important to have optimal feeding techniques to promote good growth and preventing fouling of water with wasted feed. The selling price of the marine products must be balanced with the costs of machinery, equipment, energy, feed and seed and interest rates.

AB - The chapter deals with energy use in aquaculture. The energy utilized in aquaculture systems is derived from four sources including solar energy bound in natural production, energy used during the aquaculture process, energy used for the preparation/manufacturing of feeds, equipment and supplies used in the aquaculture process and energy bound in the organic materials provided to the cultured species. In aquaculture, the balance of energy input and output can be calculated by determining the energetic needs of the different processes and the energy content of the product itself.

In developing an aquaculture endeavor, the quantity and the quality of water are the most important considerations. Initially, the amount of water required for farming specific species is determined by that species' oxygen demand. The major physical and chemical water quality factors that affect aquacultre including temperature and dissolved gases are discussed. Wastes must be treated or removed from water to prevent environmental pollution.

AB - The chapter compares the natural aquatic ecosystems and artificial aquaculture ecosystems. The energy transfer from one level on the food chain to the next is in order of 10 percent in natural aquatic ecosystems. Thus, they have high energy losses which result to low yield per unit area. On the other hand, the artificial aquaculture ecosystems are characterized by high inputs of energy and of seed, short food chains with low energy losses and high yields per unit area.tThe fish production is in order of 1,000 to 1,000,000 kg/ha/yr.

AB - The chapter deals with the history and development of aquaculture. The first treatise on aquaculture known to man was by Chinese author Fan Li dated 475 B.C. Aquaculture was brought to Europe about 2000 years ago. In the 18th century, carp farming was practiced in most European countries. American scientists started to bred trout for sport fisheries during the 19th century. In Japan, aquaculture development has been spectacular wherein at least 1 million tons of seafood is cultivated in coastal waters annually.

AB - The RESidual RADioactivity (RESRAD) computer code has been used for years to calculate carcinogenic risk and radiological dose from exposure to radionuclides. The basic ingestion, inhalation, and direct gamma intake equations used by RESRAD, Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS), and the Soil Screening Guidance for Radionuclides (SSG) are similar and can produce similar results, but there are some notable differences. Of particular interest is the fact that RESRAD incorporates sophisticated environmental transport models. Associated environmental parameters allow risk assessors to consider, among other variables, the size (i.e., surface area) of the contaminated zone, a variable not typically addressed quantitatively under the RAGS/SSG paradigm. Considering the similarities between basic RESRAD, RAGS, and SSG intake equations and given the broad acceptance of RESRAD, it stands to reason that RESRAD-derived area factors may be used to supplement RAGS/SSG human health risk calculations. This would allow risk assessors to retrofit existing results or otherwise modify standard RAGS/SSG equations for use in site closeout planning under the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM), given a key component of the MARSSIM method is the consideration of small areas of elevated activity or “hot spots” through the use of area factors.

AB - Contaminated sediments and other sites present a difficult challenge for environmental decisionmakers. They are typically slow to recover or attenuate naturally, may involve multiple regulatory agencies and stakeholder groups, and engender multiple toxicological and ecotoxicological risks. While environmental decision-making strategies over the last several decades have evolved into increasingly more sophisticated, information-intensive, and complex approaches, there remains considerable dissatisfaction among business, industry, and the public with existing management strategies. Consequently, contaminated sediments and materials are the subject of intense technology development, such as beneficial reuse or in situ treatment. However, current decision analysis approaches, such as comparative risk assessment, benefit-cost analysis, and life cycle assessment, do not offer a comprehensive approach for incorporating the varied types of information and multiple stakeholder and public views that must typically be brought to bear when new technologies are under consideration. Alternatively, multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) offers a scientifically sound decision framework for management of contaminated materials or sites where stakeholder participation is of crucial concern and criteria such as economics, environmental impacts, safety, and risk cannot be easily condensed into simple monetary expressions. This article brings together a multidisciplinary review of existing decision-making approaches at regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe and synthesizes state-of-the-art research in MCDA methods applicable to the assessment of contaminated sediment management technologies. Additionally, it tests an MCDA approach for coupling expert judgment and stakeholder values in a hypothetical contaminated sediments management case study wherein MCDA is used as a tool for testing stakeholder responses to and improving expert assessment of innovative contaminated sediments technologies.

AB - Bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) for inorganic mercury in earthworms are usually < 1; however, factors up to ∼10 have been reported. Little information is available concerning the bioaccumulation of organic mercury in earthworms from actual contaminated soils and thus there has been uncertainty in the risk characterization phase of ecological risk assessments of mercury-contaminated sites. This study was initiated to determine the rate of uptake and bioaccumulation of total mercury (T-Hg) and monomethylmercury (MMHg) in Eisenia fetida from soils which have been contaminated with mercury for approximately 30 years. The study consisted of a 28-day uptake phase in three mercury-contaminated soils and one soil with background concentrations of mercury followed by a 14-day depuration phase in background soil only. Total mercury concentrations in the study soils ranged from 85 to 11,542 μg kg−1 dry weight soil; MMHg concentrations ranged from 1.12 to 7.35 μg kg−1 dry weight soil. Time to 90% steady states for T-Hg ranged from 36 to 42 days. A steady state did not occur for any of the MMHg exposures during the 42-day study; estimated time to 90% steady state varied from 97 to 192 days. BAFs for T-Hg ranged from 0.6 to 3.3. BAFs for MMHg ranged from 175 to 249. The BAFs for T-Hg and MMHg were larger in earthworms exposed to the lower contaminated soils and smaller in the higher mercury-contaminated soils. The absolute concentrations of T-Hg and MMHg bioaccumulated in E. fetida, however, were higher in the earthworms exposed to the higher mercury soils and lower in the less mercury-contaminated soils.

AB - This paper deals with accuracy issues related to using ground penetrating radar (GPR) for determining the surface layer thickness of asphalt and concrete pavements. Additionally, tests were conducted to identify GPR’s repeatability on dry versus wet pavements. Finally, an attempt was made to determine the number of actual field cores necessary to accurately postprocess radar data into layer thickness data. At this time, it appears that four calibration cores would be the optimum number of cores that would minimize errors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Treatability tests were conducted on soil from the reservoir No. 2 burning ground at the former Plum Brook Ordnance Works in Sandusky, Ohio. This soil is contaminated with explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and 2,4/2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB, Aroclor 1260), as well as lead. Lime treatment (alkaline hydrolysis) and persulfate oxidation were tested individually and in combination to treat explosives and PCBs. Lime treatment removed 98% of TNT, 75% of DNT, and 80% of PCBs. Similar removal levels were found for persulfate treatment as well as lime followed by persulfate. The percentage of contaminant removal was found to be independent of initial contaminant concentrations. Treatments of the most contaminated soil did not meet the preliminary remediation goals for explosives or PCBs but would allow for disposal in a nonhazardous waste landfill. Treatment of soil with lower initial concentrations easily met the residential (most stringent) preliminary remediation goals of 16, 61, and 0.22 mg kg-1 for TNT, 2,6-DNT, and PCB (Aroclor 1260), respectively. Neither alkaline hydrolysis nor persulfate oxidation transferred more than 0.02% of the lead from the soil into the reaction waters. Lead was successfully stabilized via phosphate addition.

AB - The article outlines various components of Russia's efforts to consolidate and centralize its military-industrial sector. These include the creation of a civilian Military-Industrial Commission with limited powers over the development of new technologies, the centralization of procurement under Russia's Ministry of Defense, and the creation of large holding corporations in various industries. The article argues that Russia's indirect takeover of industry under President Vladimir Putin constitutes a regression to the war economy that existed under Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The lack of technological innovation in Russia is discussed in this context.

AB - The recent agreements concerning North Korea’s nuclear program raise possibilities for providing North Korea with energy (oil and gas) to compensate for the termination of its nuclear program and of integrating it more broadly into the Northeast Asian economy. Russia has long wanted to play the role of provider of oil and gas to North Korea and these agreements open up new opportunities for it to do so. However, serious obstacles in the nature of North Korea’s precarious economic situation and its consequences, international rivalries in Northeast Asia, and Russia’s own energy policies present serious obstacles to the realization of Russia’s ambitions as regards North Korea and as energy provider to Northeast Asia as a whole.

AB - During the nineteenth century, states routinely defeated insurgent foes. Over the twentieth century, however, this pattern reversed itself, with states increasingly less likely to defeat insurgents or avoid meeting at least some of their demands. What accounts for this pattern of outcomes in counterinsurgency (COIN) wars? We argue that increasing mechanization within state militaries after World War I is primarily responsible for this shift. Unlike their nineteenth-century predecessors, modern militaries possess force structures that inhibit information collection among local populations. This not only complicates the process of sifting insurgents from noncombatants but increases the difficulty of selectively applying rewards and punishment among the fence-sitting population. Modern militaries may therefore inadvertently fuel, rather than deter, insurgencies. We test this argument with a new data set of 286 insurgencies (1800-2005) and a paired comparison of two U.S. Army divisions in Iraq (2003-2004). We find that higher levels of mechanization, along with external support for insurgents and the counterinsurgent's status as an occupier, are associated with an increased probability of state defeat. By contrast, we find only partial support for conventional power- and regime-based explanations, and no support for the view that rough terrain favors insurgent success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper considers the option pricing problem for contingent claims of the European type in a ( B, S)-market in which the stock price and the asset in the riskless bank account both have hereditary structures. The Black-Scholes equation for the classical option pricing problem is generalized to an infinite-dimensional equation to include the effects of time delay in the evolution of the financial market as well as a very general payoff function. A computational algorithm for the solution is also obtained via a double sequence of polynomials of a certain bounded linear functional on a Banach space and the time variable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The purpose of this research was to examine how work experiences contribute to junior officers' intentions to leave the Army. Specifically, we hypothesized that psychological climate perceptions have direct and indirect effects on intent to leave through affective commitment and morale and that affective and continuance commitment interact to predict intent to leave the Army. The sample for this study was 649 captains who responded to an Army-wide survey, the Fall 2002 Sample Survey of Military Personnel. Results demonstrate support for full mediation, indicating that psychological climate impacts intent to leave the Army by influencing captains' affective commitment and morale. The psychological climate dimension of leadership had the largest impact on affective commitment, morale, and intent to leave the Army. Affective commitment did not interact with continuance commitment to predict intent to leave. Implications for Army retention policies and leadership are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The effectiveness of emerging technology in helping to develop the tacit or experience-based knowledge needed for effective leadership performance was demonstrated in an on-line environment for discussion and training. One hundred and twenty-seven military students participated in three 20-minute discussions in one of three learning environments: standard classroom; standard on-line discussion; and discussion assisted by semantic technology. Consistent with expectations, semantic technology-supported learning resulted in greater discussion participation and training performance with discussion participation mediating the relationship between the learning environment and training satisfaction. An interaction between learning goal orientation (LGO) and learning environment on tacit knowledge performance showed that face-to-face conditions may help those with low LGO. Implications for improving tacit knowledge acquisition and technology-supported leadership development practices are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The goal of this research was to examine the ways in which human operators interact with simulated semiautonomous unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), semiautonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and teleoperated UGVs (Teleop). Robotic operators performed parallel route reconnaissance missions with each platform alone and with all three platforms. When given all three platforms, participants failed to detect more targets than when given only the UAV or UGV; they were also less likely to complete their mission in the allotted time. Target detection during missions was the poorest with the Teleop alone, likely because of the demands of remote driving. Spatial ability was found to be a good predictor of target-detection performance. However, slowing sensor feed video frame rate or the imposition of a short response latency (250 ms) between Teleop control and Teleop reaction failed to affect target-detection performance significantly. Nevertheless, these video image manipulations did influence assessment of system usability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The military environment has unique stressors. This study investigates the types of stressors, appraisals, and coping responses of U.S. soldiers and their leaders. A qualitative analysis of interviews indicates that the traditional coping buffers of social drinking and seeking social support from fellow soldiers, family, and leaders can potentially serve as sources of stress. While this paradox may be a result of the unique types of stressors in the military work environment, these results should direct researchers to better understand individuals' perceptions and appraisals of stress, with a focus on the meaning of stress, given contextual factors inherent in the workplace. The findings are discussed in relation to the literature on the impact of stress on physical and psychological health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The potential for change detection failure during the monitoring of a military digital situation awareness map was investigated. Participants were asked to monitor the map for icon appearance or disappearance. A change accompanied by two other changes was detected 69.3% of the time, while the same change occurring alone was detected 79.6% of the time. When three changes occurred simultaneously, all three were detected only 37% of the time. Detection of icon appearance was superior to detection of icon disappearance, as might be expected from the literature on visual attention. The discussion addresses the need to represent change explicitly in such systems and suggests properties that a change detection aid should possess. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The goal of this special issue was to identify how the underlying theoretical issues studied in sports psychology might inform research conducted by military psychologists. In the interest of providing the basis for further discussion between these two fields, this commentary highlights several areas discussed in the preceding articles which may inform military research in the behavioral sciences. Further, suggestions are offered for both fields that may lead to additional collaborative opportunities. The recommendations and comments offered cover the domains of expertise development, simulation and training, and team effectiveness among others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Department of Defense (DoD) has mandated development of a system to collect and manage data on the weight, percent body fat (%BF), and fitness of all military personnel. This project aimed to (1) develop a computerized weight and fitness database to track individuals and Army units over lime allowing cross-sectional and longitudinal evaluations and (2) test the computerized system for feasibility and integrity of data collection over several years of usage. The computer application, the Military Services Fitness Database (MSFD), was designed for (1) storage and tracking of data related to height, weight, %BF tot the Army Weight Control Program (AWCP) and Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) scores and (2) generation of reports using these data. A 2.5-year pilot test of the MSFD indicated that it monitors population and individual trends of changing body weight, %BF, and fitness in a military population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Military spouses must contend with unique issues such as a mobile lifestyle, rules and regulations of military life, and frequent family separations including peacekeeping and combat deployments. These issues may have an adverse effect on the health of military spouses. This study examined the mental health status, rates of care utilization, source of care, as well as barriers and stigma of mental health care utilization among military spouses who were seeking care in military primary care clinics. The data show spouses have similar rates of mental health problems compared to soldiers. Spouses were more likely to seek care for their mental health problems and were less concerned with the stigma of mental health care than were soldiers. Services were most often received from primary care physicians, rather than specialty mental health professionals, which may relate to the lack of availability of mental health services for spouses on military installations.

AB - Biomedical ethics training during graduate medical education programs is required by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Apart from this requirement, medical ethics education is an integral component of military medical practice. Although ethics education and training are required, tools to assess the effectiveness of ethics education are not well developed. Furthermore, although biomedical ethics education is mandated for new Army physician trainees, there has not been a systematic objective assessment of the effectiveness of that training. We report the concept underlying the design and implementation of a military biomedical ethics seminar for new Army physician trainees. Combining a didactic component and case analysis through small-group discussions, we emphasized providing tools to analyze ethical dilemmas both in the medical center environment and in the operational medicine environment. A total of 47 Army interns participated in the seminar. Eighty-nine percent of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the ethics orientation met expectations. Seventy-two percent agreed or strongly agreed that the information presented would affect their practice. Ninety-six percent thought that the small-group discussions were effective, and 80% thought that the presentations enhanced knowledge from medical school. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Previous analysis of Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm data yielded a disease and nonbattle injury (DNBI) model using distinct 95th percentile daily admission rates during the three phases of a war-lighting operation to predict medical requirements. This study refines the model with data from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Inpatient health care records of U.S. Army soldiers deployed to OEF and OIF who were admitted with DNBI diagnoses were analyzed. DNBI admission rates for OEF and OIF were compared with rates for Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm. DNBI admission rates for OEF and OIF were lower than those tor Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm. Rates among the phases of OIF were distinctly different. DNBI admission rates have been reduced during recent deployments. The concepts of the original model based on Operation Desert Shield/Operation Desert Storm data were validated by experiences during OEF and OIF. Continuous surveillance of DNBI admission rates is recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study examined self-rated health, impairments in activities of daily living, and treatment for eight health conditions among Vietnam War-era veterans, comparing those who served in Vietnam with those who served elsewhere. Data were from the nationally representative 2001 National Survey of Veterans (N = 7,907; 3.923 veterans served in Vietnam). Age-stratified (<60 years versus >60 years) analyses included multivariate logistic regression. In adjusted analyses, among those <60 years of age, those who served in Vietnam had notably poorer self-rated health and higher stroke risk (odds ratio, 1.51; 95% confidence interval. 1.48-1.53); odds of most other conditions were lower. Among those ≥6(1 years of age, those who served in Vietnam had poorer self-rated health, higher cancer risk (odds ratio. 1.33; 95% confidence interval. 1.32-1.35h and more treatment for hypertension, lung conditions, stroke, and hearing loss. Results suggest greater resource use among older veterans who served in Vietnam. Clinicians and the Department of Veterans Affairs should especially note their substantially higher cancer risk.

AB - The United States faces many existing and emerging mosquito-borne disease threats, such as West Nile virus and Rift Valley fever. An important component of strategic prevention and control plans for these and other mosquito-borne diseases is forecasting the distribution, timing, and abundance of mosquito vector populations. Populations of many medically important mosquito species are closely tied to climate, and historical climate-population associations may be used to predict future population dynamics, Using 2003-2005 U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine mosquito surveillance data, we looked at populations of several known mosquito vectors of West Nile virus, as well as possible mosquito vectors of Rift Valley lever virus, at continental U.S. military installations. We compared population changes with concurrent patterns for a satellite-derived index of climate (normalized difference vegetation index) and observed instances of population changes appearing to be direct responses to climate. These preliminary findings are important first steps in developing an automated, climate-driven, early warning system to flag regions of the United States at elevated risk of mosquito-borne disease transmission.

AB - The Patient Workload Generator (PATGEN) simulation model is an important part of the Army Medical Department force requirement planning. The current version of the PATGEN model is based on historical major combat operations such as World War II and the Korean War. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference between injury distributions used in the PATGEN model and the injury distributions based on the data from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). To make the comparison feasible, the PATGEN injury categories were created using the Barell Injury Matrix. Analyses were performed using two independent OIF data sources, the Joint Theater Trauma Registry and the Standard Inpatient Data Record. Based on X² test results, both analyses suggest a significant difference between PATGEN and OIF injury distributions. A major concern is the underestimation by PATGEN of battle injuries with multiple wounds. The findings support future use of data-driven diagnosis-based injury distributions for current operations and new more flexible simulation models that will allow for changes in injury probability distributions.

AB - Military Health System (MHS) identified patient-centered care and satisfied beneficiaries as main objectives in their 2006 Strategic Plan. The objective of this study was to expand upon the previous MHS model to determine predictors of patient satisfaction behaviors based upon associated attitudes and beliefs in addition to determining the predictive qualities presented by continuity of care. A sample of 90.318 patient responses from 2002 to 2004 was drawn front the Customer Satisfaction Survey database. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to assess the uniquely predictive effects of the independent variables on the outcome variable. Results indicated the constructs from previous studies of satisfaction within the MHS using an attitude model were consistent when tested in a behavioral model. Hypothesis tests also indicated continuity of care demonstrated uniquely predictive qualities suggesting inclusion in the model. The final satisfaction with visit model yielded F(29,90.288) = 7062.37, p < 0.01 with R² = 0.694. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - As members of forward-deployed combat hospitals, World War I Army nurses Miss Jane Rignel, Miss Linnie Leckrone, and Miss Irene Robar received the Citation Star for gallantry in attending to the wounded while under artillery fire in the month of July 1918. In 1932, they were authorized to exchange their Citation Stars for the new Silver Star Medal. Nursing in the war was difficult and required caring for patients exposed to chemical weapons and trauma while in harsh field conditions. These women were among the many Army nurses decorated for their performance in World War I. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This retrospective study was conducted to assess the nature and causes of serious oral-facial illnesses and injuries among U.S. Army personnel deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in 2003 and 2004. Information for this study came from the U.S. Air Force Transportation Regulating and Command & Control Evacuation System database for medical evacuations (MEDEVACS) for 2003 to 2004. The study found 327 oral-facial MEDEVACS out of Iraq (cumulative incidence: 11/10,000 soldiers per year) and 47 out of Afghanistan (cumulative incidence: 21/10,000 soldiers per year), for a total of 374 MEDEVACS. Forty-two percent (n = 158) of all oral-facial MEDEVACS were due to diseases of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. Another 36% (n = 136) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were for battle injuries, primarily fractures of the mandible, caused by acts of war. Twenty-one percent (n = 80) of oral-facial MEDEVACS were due to nonbattle injuries, primarily fractures of the mandible, mainly caused by motor vehicle accidents and fighting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This research identifies the perceptions of U.S. military service members regarding the Department of Defense Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP). The service members' perceptions were addressed in the dimensions of ethics, effectiveness, and safety, as well as the overall perceptions of the AVIP. The study, conducted in October 2004, randomly selected active duty service members from the uniformed services assigned to a Caribbean military base who participated in the AVIP during the period of 1998 to 2000. Their perceptions were measured with a survey instrument with 14 closed-ended, Likert-scale questions. The research demonstrated that a substantial number of service members disagreed with issues regarding the ethics, safety, and efficacy of the AVIP, We recommend enhanced training and education to increase understanding of the benefits of the AVIP.

AB - Brief structured clinical interviews arc a key component of the Department of Defense postdeployment health reassessment program. Such interviews are critical for recommending individuals for follow-up assessment and care. To standardize the interview process, U.S. Army Medical Research Unit-Europe developed a structured interview guide, designed in response to both clinical requirements and research findings. The guide includes sections on depression, suicidality, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger, relationship problems, alcohol problems, and sleep problems, in addition, there is all open-ended section on other problems and a section for case dispositions. Data from a 2005 blinded validation study with soldiers returning from a 1-year-long combat deployment are included to demonstrate the utility of the structured interview. Guidelines and implementation considerations for the use of the structured interview are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objectives: This study assessed the effects of seasons and temperature on injury rates during U.S. Army ordnance advanced individual training. Methods: Injury data were collected each week at two clinics serving two geographically separated military training units. Weekly injury rates were calculated as the number of injured soldiers in each battalion (numerator) divided by the total number of soldiers in each battalion (denominator). A two-way analysis of variance examined weekly injury rates according to training unit and season of the year. Correlations between injury rates and average maximal temperatures were also examined. Results: Analysis of variance indicated significant differences in injury rates according to training unit (p = 0.04) and season (p < 0.01 ) but no significant interaction between unit and season (p = 0.16). Injury rates in the summer were higher than injury rates in the winter or autumn. Coefficients for correlations between weekly injury rates and weekly average maximal temperatures were 0.71 and 0.88 for the two training units. Conclusions: These data support previous work in U.S. Army basic combat training indicating a seasonal effect on injury rates. Higher environmental temperatures were associated with higher injury rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Substance use disorders constitute a serious and persistent threat to military readiness mid to the health and safety of military personnel and their families. Methamphetamine is among the most addictive and damaging of commonly abused drugs; this is of great concern for military health providers in Hawaii due to the unusually high prevalence in the local community. The effect of regional drug use on active duty subpopulations has not been previously studied. This study includes a 6-year retrospective sample of laboratory-confirmed methamphetamine-, cocaine-, and marijuana-positive drug tests among Army soldiers stationed in Hawaii and western and eastern continental U.S. installations. The findings suggest that active duty members are significantly affected by the local drug climate. However, current military drug policies also deter use as evidenced by low absolute drug-positive rates even in regions of high civilian prevalence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Identification of the most significant infectious disease threats to deployed U.S. military forces is important for developing and maintaining an appropriate countermeasure research and development portfolio. We describe a quantitative algorithmic method (the Infectious Diseases Investment Decision Evaluation Algorithm) that uses Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center information to determine which naturally occurring pathogens pose the most substantial threat to U.S. deployed forces in the absence of specific mitigating countermeasures. The Infectious Diseases Investment Decision Evaluation Algorithm scores the relative importance of various diseases by taking into account both their severity and the likelihood of infection on a country-by-country basis. In such an analysis, the top three endemic disease threats to U.S. deployed threes are malaria, bacteria-caused diarrhea, and dengue fever. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In collaboration with the host nation and other organizations, the preventive medicine team performed additional support for operations outside the U.S. compound, including water and sanitation assessments of camps for internally displaced persons, communicable disease investigation and control, and vaccination programs. Preventive medicine personnel were vital to health diplomacy efforts in this operation, particularly because of security concerns that prevented other U.S. medical assets from leaving the compound. Comparisons with the U.S. responses during other humanitarian operations are made. Preventive medicine missions in health diplomacy will continue to increase. Training and collaborative relationships with other government agencies, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development, and with nongovernmental organizations should continue to be developed.

AB - During the time of turbulence and revolution engulfing Russia as it evolved from Tsarist Empire to Bolshevik Soviet Union, the personnel assigned to the US Embassy and associated consulates throughout Russia offered a convenient “window” through which the US and others in the West could view and ponder the momentous developments under way. Among the most useful of those personnel were representatives of he US Marine Corps assigned to protect those diplomatic missions. This article exploits the records, letters, and reports of the Marine Corps detachments and their officers and men to offer a unique perspective regarding those revolutionary times.

AB - This paper investigates the joint-structured-sparsity-based methods for transient acoustic signal classification with multiple measurements. By joint structured sparsity, we not only use the sparsity prior for each measurement but we also exploit the structural information across the sparse representation vectors of multiple measurements. Several different sparse prior models are investigated in this paper to exploit the correlations among the multiple measurements with the notion of the joint structured sparsity for improving the classification accuracy. Specifically, we propose models with the joint structured sparsity under different assumptions: same sparse code model, common sparse pattern model, and a newly proposed joint dynamic sparse model. For the joint dynamic sparse model, we also develop an efficient greedy algorithm to solve it. Extensive experiments are carried out on real acoustic data sets, and the results are compared with the conventional discriminative classifiers in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

AB - Recently, a kernel-based ensemble learning technique for hyperspectral detection/classification problems has been introduced by the authors, to provide robust classification over hyperspectral data with relatively high level of noise and background clutter. The kernel-based ensemble technique first randomly selects spectral feature subspaces from the input data. Each individual classifier, which is in fact a support vector machine (SVM), then independently conducts its own learning within its corresponding spectral feature subspace and hence constitutes a weak classifier. The decisions from these weak classifiers are equally or adaptively combined to generate the final ensemble decision. However, in such ensemble learning, little attempt has been previously made to jointly optimize the weak classifiers and the aggregating process for combining the subdecisions. The main goal of this paper is to achieve an optimal sparse combination of the subdecisions by jointly optimizing the separating hyperplane obtained by optimally combining the kernel matrices of the SVM classifiers and the corresponding weights of the subdecisions required for the aggregation process. Sparsity is induced by applying an l1 norm constraint on the weighting coefficients. Consequently, the weights of most of the subclassifiers become zero after the optimization, and only a few of the subclassifiers with non-zero weights contribute to the final ensemble decision. Moreover, in this paper, an algorithm to determine the optimal full-diagonal bandwidth parameters of the Gaussian kernels of the individual SVMs is also presented by minimizing the radius-margin bound. The optimized full-diagonal bandwidth Gaussian kernels are used by the sparse SVM ensemble to perform binary classification. The performance of the proposed technique with optimized kernel parameters is compared to that of the one with single-bandwidth parameter obtained using cross-validation by testing them on various data sets. On an average, the proposed sparse kernel-based ensemble learning algorithm with optimized full-diagonal bandwidth parameters shows an improvement of 20\% over the existing ensemble learning techniques.

AB - A model-based correlation detection scheme is presented with the aim of detecting and localizing subsurface tunnel infrastructure in an automated fashion. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive detection technology that can be fielded and successfully used by nonexperts, while simultaneously being sufficiently robust as to be effective. Our correlation detection algorithm relies on a library of model signals that are generated using an analytical model of a thin subsurface wire in a homogeneous half-space. The wire is illuminated using an active transmitter source (12, 20, or 200 kHz), and its response is sensed using a man-portable electromagnetic gradiometer (EMG) system. The performance of the detector is assessed using synthetic data and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis as well as experimental data collected during a field test. Preliminary ROC results indicate that at sufficient signal-to-noise ratio, the detector can achieve detection probabilities greater than 0.9 with corresponding false alarm rates of less than one every 1000 m. Results from the field tests revealed that the responses from the EMG can be used to detect and localize (to within 0.5 m in the horizontal) a wire target down to a depth of at least 7 m. We believe the EMG system and correlation detector combine to form a promising technology for detecting tunnel infrastructure that can be used by experts and, more importantly, nonexperts as well.

AB - We introduce a novel longwave polarimetric-based approach to man-made object detection that departs from a more traditional direct use of Stokes parameters. The approach exploits the spatial statistics on two coregistered vertical and horizontal polarization components of the images, where differences of spatial second-order statistics in the bivariate space reveal that man-made objects are separable from natural objects while holding invariant to diurnal cycle variation and geometry of illumination. We exploit the invariant feature using the Bayes decision rule based only on probabilities. Experimental results on a challenging data set, covering a 24-h diurnal cycle, show the effectiveness of the new approach on detecting anomalies; three military tank surrogates posed at different aspect angles are detectable in a natural clutter background. These results yield a negligible false alarm rate as the heating components of the tank surrogates were turned off during data collection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A series of wind-tunnel experiments were conducted in which the drag characteristics and inflated geometry of model parachute canopies with rectangular parallelepiped geometries (polyhedron) were examined. The model- canopy layouts were the same as cross canopies with the adjacent sides completely attached together. All models had a base dimension of 0.2 m, and aspect ratios ranged from 0.2 to 1.2. The models did not have a central vent or any other geometric porosity. The data show the inflated geometry of the canopy differs from the constructed geometry with the smallest change occurring at a constructed aspect of 0.8 and the variation becomes larger for increasing or decreasing constructed aspect ratios. The data also indicate the aerodynamic drag coefficient, based on the projected area, has a maximum value of approximately one for the constructed aspect ratio of 0.3 corresponding to an inflated aspect ratio of 0.53. The drag coefficient is less for smaller and larger aspect-ratio models. If scaled by the canopy surface area drag of the rectangular parallelepiped canopies is lower than flat circular canopy designs. These findings are consistent with the past findings on other flexible parachute canopies and rigid bluff bodies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Effects of trailing-edge flap gaps on rotor performance are investigated using a high-fidelity coupled computational fluid dynamics computational structural dynamics analysis. Both integral flap (the flap is an integral part of the blade such that there are no physical gaps at the flap ends) and discrete flap (the flap is a separate entity with physical gaps in the span and chord directions) are examined on an UH-60A rotor at high-speed forward-flight conditions. A novel grid deformation scheme based on the Delaunay graph mapping is developed and implemented to allow the computational fluid dynamics modeling of the gaps with minimal distortion of mesh around the flap gap regions. This method offers an alternative to the traditional approach of modeling such configurations using overset meshes. The simulation results show that the effectiveness of the flap is minimally affected with span gaps; the penalty on rotor performance is of the order of 1% compared to the integral flap. On the other hand, the chord gaps significantly degrade the benefits of active flap on rotor performance due to the flow penetration between the upper and lower surfaces of the flap.

AB - High-performance heterogeneous computers that employ field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as computational elements are known as high-performance reconfigurable computers (HPRCs). For floating-point applications, these FPGA-based processors must satisfy a variety of heuristics and rules of thumb to achieve a speedup compared with their software counterparts. By way of a simple sparse matrix Jacobi iterative solver, this paper illustrates some of the issues associated with mapping floating-point kernels onto HPRCs. The Jacobi method was chosen based on heuristics developed from earlier research. Furthermore, Jacobi is relatively easy to understand, yet is complex enough to illustrate the mapping issues. This paper is not trying to demonstrate the speedup of a particular application nor is it suggesting that Jacobi is the best way to solve equations. The results demonstrate a nearly threefold wall clock runtime speedup when compared with a software implementation. A formal analysis shows that these results are reasonable. The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the challenging floating-point mapping process while simultaneously showing that such mappings can result in significant speedups. The ideas revealed by research such as this have already been and should continue to be used to facilitate a more automated mapping process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - PC-based games are currently being used for military training, but the instructional and motivational features of such technology are not well understood. To identify features of training games that influence instruction and motivation, a popular first-person-perspective game with a military theme was analyzed empirically. Twenty-one participants played the "basic training" portion of the game, which included Army background information, virtual marksmanship training, an obstacle course, virtual weapons familiarization, and an urban terrain training mission.

AB - Development of a robust estimator for uncertain stochastic systems under persistent excitation is presented. The given continuous-time stochastic formulation assumes norm bounded parametric uncertainties and excitations. When there are no system uncertainties, the performance of the proposed robust estimator is similar to that of the Kalman-Bucy filter and the proposed approach asymptotically recovers the desired optimal performance in the presence of uncertainties and or persistent excitation.

N2 - Introduction: Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a condition that occurs almost exclusively with running whereby exercise increases intramuscular pressure compromising circulation, prohibiting muscular function, and causing pain in the lower leg. Currently, a lack of evidence exists for the effective conservative management of CECS. Altering running mechanics by adopting forefoot running as opposed to heel striking may assist in the treatment of CECS, specifically with anterior compartment symptoms. Case Description: The purpose of this case series is to describe the outcomes for subjects with CECS through a systematic conservative treatment model focused on forefoot running. Subject one was a 21 y/o female with a 4 year history of CECS and subject two was a 21 y/o male, 7 months status-post two-compartment right leg fasciotomy with a return of symptoms and a new onset of symptoms on the contralateral side. Outcome: Both subjects modified their running technique over a period of six weeks. Kinematic and kinetic analysis revealed increased step rate while step length, impulse, and peak vertical ground reaction forces decreased. In addition, leg intracompartmental pressures decreased from pre-training to post-training. Within 6 weeks of intervention subjects increased their running distance and speed absent of symptoms of CECS. Follow-up questionnaires were completed by the subjects at 7 months following intervention; subject one reported running distances up to 12.87 km pain-free and subject two reported running 6.44 km pain-free consistently 3 times a week. Discussion: This case series describes a potentially beneficial conservative management approach to CECS in the form of forefoot running instruction. Further research in this area is warranted to further explore the benefits of adopting a forefoot running technique for CECS as well as other musculoskeletal overuse complaints. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Running speed is critical for sport performance and is the basis for sport selection. The 100 m sprint is the ultimate expression of running speed. As the 100 m sprint is the product of one-dimensional power, sport performance requires one-dimensional power and the translation of that power into change-of-direction power for performance. These would appear to be very different skills, yet the training techniques are largely similar. The purpose of this paper is to review the characteristics of 100 m sprint performance as related to running speed for sport performance and to explore the mechanical and physiological structure-function relationships that support these performance characteristics. Both sprinting and sport performance require great acceleration which depends heavily on muscular strength and power. Undoubtedly, muscle fiber type plays a critical role in determining running speed. However, muscle architecture, specifically muscle fascicle length and localized muscle distribution (muscle shape), appear to confer even greater performance specificity. Both sprinting and sport performance rely heavily on muscle-tendon stiffness for the efficient application of force for what is ultimately change-of-direction power, but with a different point of emphasis and outcome. While the energetic requirement for competition is significantly different, sprinters and sports performers have similar anaerobic and aerobic capacities suggesting an equivalent metabolic conditioning. Given the dependence of running speed on muscle force/power and similar training adaptations, resistance exercise training appears to be a specific analogue for sprint performance and is critical for improving running speed. Ultimately, it appears that the mechanical and physiological structure-function relationships are quite similar only applied in a different manner for speed and purpose. Gender and race differences in structure-function relationships result in some changes in emphasis for performance and for training. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Little information exists on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of U.S. veterans based on rural (versus urban) status, especially those in younger age groups, and whether deployment influences this outcome. We addressed these questions in the Millennium Cohort Study, a prospective investigation of U.S. military personnel assessed first in 2001 and then subsequently every three years via self-administered questionnaires. Participants separated from the military at the time of the most recent survey were eligible (n = 10,738). HRQL was assessed using the SF-36V Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores. Rural status was assigned from zip codes using the Rural-Urban Commuting Area classification. The mean age of participants was 35 years (SD = 8.98). Compared with urban dwellers, rural residents reported significantly lower unadjusted mean PCS (49.80 vs. 50.42) and MCS (49.97 vs. 50.81) scores, but differences became nonsignificant after covariate adjustment. No interaction was seen between deployment and rural status. Rural status is not independently associated with HRQL among recent U.S. veterans. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - US soldiers injured in Iraq, and civilian burn trauma patients are treated at the US Army Institute of Surgical Research. Burn patients experience extrem pain during wound care, and they typically receive opioid analgesics and anxiolytics for debridement. Virtual Reality (VR) has been applied as an adjunct to opioid analgesics for procedural pain. We describe the first use of ketamine combined with immersive VR to reduce excessive pain during wound care. A 21-year-old male US Army soldier stationed in Iraq, and a 41-year-old civilian male sustained a 13% and 50% total body surface area (TBSA) burn, respectively. Each patient received 40 mg ketamine intraveneous (IV) for wound care. Using a within-subject design, nurses conducted half of a painful segment of wound care treatments with no VR and the other half with immersive VR. Graphic pain rating scores for each of the two treatment conditions served as the dependent variables. Compared to ketamine + no VR, both patients reported less pain during ketamine + VR for all three pain ratings. Both patients rated wound care during no VR as 'no fun at all', but those same patients rated wound care during virtual reality as either 'pretty fun' or 'extremely fun', and rated nausea as either 'mild' or 'none'. Results from these first two cases suggest that a moderate dose of ketamine combined with immersive virtual reality distraction may be an effective multimodal analgesic regimen for reducing acute procedural pain during severe burn wound cleanings.

AB - This paper investigates total ionizing dose (TID) effects on the piezoelectric properties of lead zirconate titanate (PZT). The capacitance and contact voltage of thin-film, PZT-based relays were measured following incremental ^60Co TID irradiations. The devices were held in several different bias conditions, during exposure. The direction of the biasing electric field during exposure, along with the polarization prior to exposure, has a measurable impact on post-irradiation operating voltage of the relay. In all cases, the switching voltage, as obtained via the peak values in a capacitance versus voltage sweep, shifted in a direction that would minimize the switching electric field in the direction of pre-exposure polarization. These effects were observed to be both significantly greater than the shifts experienced by a set of control samples, as well as reversible via aging at room temperature. The devices display remarkable robustness, operating during active TID exposure [dose rate = 855.6 rad(Si)/s], failing at a TID greater than 15 Mrad(Si). [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - When optimizing traffic systems using time-expanded network flow models, traffic congestion is an important consideration because it can decrease both the discharge traffic flow rate and speed. One widely used modeling framework is the Cell Transmission Model (CTM) (see Daganzo, Transp Res-B 28(4):269-287, , Transp Res-B 29(2):79-93, ), which is implemented in a linear program (LP) in Ziliaskopoulos (Transp Sci 34(1):37-49, ). While the CTM models the reduction in speed associated with congestion and the backward propagation of congestion, it does not properly model the reduction in discharge flow from a bottleneck after the onset of congestion. This paper discusses this issue and proposes a generalization of the CTM that takes into account this important phenomena. Plainly, an optimization that does not consider this important negative result of congestion can be problematic, e.g., in an evacuation setting such an optimization would assume that congestion does not impact network clearance time, which can result in poor evacuation strategies. In generalizing the CTM, a fairly simple modification is made, yet it can have significant impacts on the results. For instance, we show that for the generalized CTM the traffic holding (a result of the linearization of the CTM flow constraints) plays a more harmful role, which thus requires a scheme to eliminate traffic holding. In this paper, we propose a mixed binary program to eliminate traffic holding, along with methods to improve solvability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this paper, we explore certain algorithmic strategies for accelerating the convergence of Benders decomposition method via the generation of maximal nondominated cuts. Based on interpreting the seminal work of Magnanti and Wong (Operations Research, 29(3), 464-484, ) for generating nondominated cuts within a multiobjective framework, we propose an algorithmic strategy that utilizes a preemptively small perturbation of the right-hand-side of the Benders subproblem to generate maximal nondominated Benders cuts, as well as a complimentary strategy that generates an additional cut in each iteration via an alternative emphasis on decision variable weights. We also examine the computational effectiveness of solving a secondary subproblem using an objective cut as proposed by Magnanti and Wong versus identifying the Pareto-optimality region for cut generation by utilizing complementary slackness conditions. In addition, we exhibit how a standard feasibility cut can be extracted from the solution of subproblems that generate only optimality cuts through the use of artificial variables. With Magnanti and Wong's baseline procedure approximated during implementation via the use of a core point estimation technique (Papadakos in Computers and Operations Research, 36(1), 176-195, ), these algorithmic strategies are tested on instances from the literature concerning the fixed charge network flow program.

AB - Although nanotechnology advancements should be fostered, the environmental health and safety (EHS) of nanoparticles used in technologies must be quantified simultaneously. However, most EHS studies assess the potential implications of the free nanoparticles which may not be directly applicable to the EHS of particles incorporated into in-use technologies. This investigation assessed the aquatic toxicological implications of copper oxide (CuO) nanospheres relative to CuO nanorods used in nanoenergetic applications to improve combustion. Particles were tested in both the as-received form and following combustion of a CuO/aluminum nanothermite. Results indicated nanospheres were more stable in water and slowly released ions, while higher surface area nanorods initially released more ions and were more toxic but generally less stable. After combustion, particles sintered into larger, micrometer-scale aggregates, which may lower toxicity potential to pelagic organisms due to deposition from water to sediment and reduced bioavailability after complexation with sediment organic matter. Whereas the larger nanothermite residues settled rapidly, implying lower persistence in water, their potential to release dissolved Cu was higher which led to greater toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia relative to parent CuO material (nanosphere or rod). This study illustrates the importance of considering the fate and toxicology of nanoparticles in context with their relevant in-use applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Existing methods for perchlorate remediation are hampered by the common co-occurrence of nitrate, which is structurally similar and a preferred electron acceptor. In this work, the potential for perchlorate removal using cell-free bacterial enzymes as biocatalysts was investigated using crude cell lysates and soluble protein fractions of Azospira oryzae PS, as well as soluble protein fractions encapsulated in lipid and polymer vesicles. The crude lysates showed activities between 41 700 to 54 400 U L-1 (2.49 to 3.06 U mg-1 total protein). Soluble protein fractions had activities of 15 400 to 29 900 U L-1 (1.70 to 1.97 U mg-1) and still retained an average of 58.2% of their original activity after 23 days of storage at 4 °C under aerobic conditions. Perchlorate was removed by the soluble protein fraction at higher rates than nitrate. Importantly, perchlorate reduction occurred even in the presence of 500-fold excess nitrate. The soluble protein fraction retained its function after encapsulation in lipid or polymer vesicles, with activities of 13.8 to 70.7 U L-1, in agreement with theoretical calculations accounting for the volume limitation of the vesicles. Further, encapsulation mitigated enzyme inactivation by proteinase K. Enzyme-based technologies could prove effective at perchlorate removal from water cocontaminated with nitrate or sulfate.

AB - Purpose: This study examines the issue of change in newcomers' employer-based psychological contract obligations over time, viewing change as a potentially important determinant of perceived contract breach and subsequent employee attitudes and behaviors. Design/Methodology/Approach: Data were collected using a three-wave longitudinal design from newly hired faculty members ( N = 106). Findings: Newcomers' perceptions of employer-based relational obligations significantly decreased during their first year on the job. Newcomers reacted negatively to these changes, subsequently reporting increased contract breach and more negative work attitudes (i.e., increased turnover intentions and reduced job satisfaction and organizational loyalty). Implications: This study provides evidence of the negative effects of perceived changes to a newcomer's psychological contract. Practitioners should implement interventions to ensure a realistic set of psychological contract obligations are developed from the start in order to minimize the likelihood that newcomers will modify these obligations downward; and, therefore, experience these negative attitudes toward the organization. Originality/Value: Drawing from the realistic job preview and socialization literatures, this study examines a topic that has received little empirical attention in the extant psychological contract research, yet has important implications to the management of employees' psychological contracts. Using both a three-wave longitudinal field design and a more rigorous statistical analysis for assessing change (i.e., latent growth curve modeling), we add a unique contribution to the extant research by identifying the negative consequences of psychological contract change on newcomers' subsequent work perceptions and attitudes.

AB - Background: Traditional animal toxicity tests can be time and resource intensive, thereby limiting the number of chemicals that can be comprehensively tested for potential hazards to humans and/or to the environment. Objective: We compared several types of data to demonstrate how alternative models can be used to inform both human and ecological risk assessment. Methods: We reviewed and compared data derived from high throughput in vitro assays to fish reproductive tests for seven chemicals. We investigated whether human-focused assays can be predictive of chemical hazards in the environment. We examined how conserved pathways enable the use of nonmammalian models, such as fathead minnow, zebrafish, and Xenopus laevis, to understand modes of action and to screen for chemical risks to humans. Results: We examined how dose-dependent responses of zebrafish embryos exposed to flusilazole can be extrapolated, using pathway point of departure data and reverse toxicokinetics, to obtain human oral dose hazard values that are similar to published mammalian chronic toxicity values for the chemical. We also examined how development/safety data for human health can be used to help assess potential risks of pharmaceuticals to nontarget species in the environment. Discussion: Using several examples, we demonstrate that pathway-based analysis of chemical effects provides new opportunities to use alternative models (nonmammalian species, in vitro tests) to support decision making while reducing animal use and associated costs. Conclusions: These analyses and examples demonstrate how alternative models can be used to reduce cost and animal use while being protective of both human and ecological health.

AB - The phreatic surface in an unconfined aquifer exists as a movable interface between the saturated and unsaturated zones. The movement of the phreatic surface depends on recharge, hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and horizontal and vertical flows. The location of the phreatic surface helps define the variably saturated flow domain in the subsurface. The variably saturated flow process in the subsurface is described by a parabolic partial differential equation. In this equation, the hydraulic conductivity and soil moisture capacity are used as the subsurface characteristics. The location of the phreatic surface is governed by a first-order partial differential equation. The governing parabolic partial differential equation is solved using a variational finite element formulation. The first order phreatic surface equation is then solved by loosely coupling with the governing parabolic partial differential equation describing the variably saturated flow. In the present study, a two-dimensional space is used to investigate the movement of the phreatic surface in a variably saturated unconfined flow domain. Based on the time-varying solutions of hydraulic heads, the location of the phreatic surface is simulated in a finite two-dimensional space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - New Bedford Harbor (NBH), MA, is a Superfund site because of high polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations in the sediment. From April 1994 to September 1995, a remedial dredging operation (termed the “Hot Spot”) removed the most contaminated sediments (PCB concentrations greater than 4000μg/g) from the upper harbor. During remediation, a monitoring program assessed the potential environmental impacts to NBH and adjacent Buzzards Bay. The monitoring program was developed with input from federal, state, and local authorities. Site-specific decision criteria were established to assess net PCB transport, water column toxicity, and PCB bioaccumulation in blue and ribbed mussels ( Mytilus edulis and Geukensia demissa, respectively). The remediation was completed without exceeding PCB net transport or acute toxicity effects specified in the decision criteria. In addition, PCB bioaccumulation in mussels during this time period was not significantly greater than pre- or post-operational measurements. The results indicated that approximately 14000 cubic yards of highly PCB contaminated sediment were permanently removed with minimal environmental effects. The lessons learned during this operation, as well as previous pilot studies at the site, will be used to make full-scale remedial efforts in NBH more efficient and environmentally protective.

AB - Loss of grassland species resulting from activities such as off-road vehicle use increases the need for models that predict effects of anthropogenic disturbance. The relationship of disturbance by military training to plant species richness and composition on two soils (Foard and Lawton) in a mixed prairie area was investigated. Track cover (cover of vehicle disturbance to the soil) and soil organic carbon were selected as measures of short- and long-term disturbance, respectively. Soil and vegetation data, collected in 1-m2 quadrats, were analyzed at three spatial scales (60, 10, and 1 m2). Plant species richness peaked at intermediate levels of soil organic carbon at the 10-m2 and 1-m2 spatial scales on both the Lawton and Foard soils, and at intermediate levels of track cover at all three spatial scales on the Foard soil. Species composition differed across the disturbance gradient on the Foard soil but not on the Lawton soil. Disturbance increased total plant species richness on the Foard soil. The authors conclude that disturbance up to intermediate levels can be used to maintain biodiversity by enriching the plant species pool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Effective storm water management plans depend on reliable rainfall intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) relationships. Due to the perception of high-intensity rainfall events as occurring more frequently than expected, the Michigan Dept. of Transportation (MDOT) commissioned a study to update rainfall IDF estimates for each of seven durations (1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 h) and six recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years). In contrast to a traditional at-site frequency analysis using method of moments estimators, this study applied a regional frequency analysis approach based on L-moments. Data were compiled from 76 hourly recording stations and 152 daily recording stations, and trend and outlier analyses were conducted on both annual maximum series (AMS) and partial duration series (PDS) data. With the entire state considered a homogeneous region, two regional index flood models were applied: a generalized Pareto distribution fit to PDS data (PDS/GPA model), and a generalized extreme value distribution fit to AMS data (AMS/GEV model). Verification of results indicated that the revised rainfall IDF estimates provide more reliable values than those previously used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sulfur mustard (HD) undergoes hydrolysis to form various products such as thiodiglycol (TG) in biological and environmental systems. TG is a precursor in the production of HD and it is also considered as a “Schedule 2” compound (dual-use chemicals with low to moderate commercial use and high-risk precursors). Several toxicological studies on TG were conducted to assess environmental and health effects. The oral LD 50 values were > 5000 mg/kg in rats. It was a mild skin and moderate ocular irritant and was not a skin sensitizer in animals. It was not mutagenic in Ames Salmonella , Escherichia coli , mouse lymphoma, and in vivo mouse micronucleus assays, but it induced chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells. A 90-day oral subchronic toxicity study with neat TG at doses of 0, 50, 500, and 5000 mg/kg/day (5 days/week) in Sprague-Dawley rats results show that there are no treatment-related changes in food consumption, hematology, and clinical chemistry in rats of either sex. The body weights of both sexes were significantly lower than controls at 5000 mg/kg/day. Significant changes were also noted in both sexes in absolute weights of kidneys, kidney to body weight ratios, and kidney to brain weight ratios, in the high-dose group. The no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for oral toxicity was 500 mg/kg/day. The developmental toxicity conducted at 0, 430, 1290, and 3870 mg/kg by oral gavage showed maternal toxicity in dams receiving 3870 mg/kg. TG was not a developmental toxicant. The NOAEL for the developmental toxicity in rats was 1290 mg/kg. The provisional oral reference dose (RfD) of 0.4 mg/kg/day was calculated for health risk assessments. The fate of TG in the environment and soil showed biological formation of thiodiglycalic acid with formation of an intermediate ((2-hydroxyethyl)thio)acetic acid. It was slowly biodegraded under anaerobic conditions. It was not toxic to bluegill sunfish at 1000 mg/L and its metabolism and environmental and biochemical effects are summarized.

AB - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine, a polynitramine compound, commonly known as RDX, has been used as an explosive in military munitions formulations since World War II. There is considerable data available regarding the toxicity and carcinogenicity of RDX. It has been classified as a possible carcinogen (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Integrated Risk Information System, 2005, www.epa.gov/IRIS/subst/0313.htm). In order to better understand its gentoxic potential, the authors conducted the in vitro mouse lymphoma forward mutation and the in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assays. Pure RDX (99.99%) at concentrations ranging from 3.93 to 500 μ g/ml showed no cytotoxicity and no mutagenicity in forward mutations at the thymidine kinase (TK) locus in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, with and without metabolic activation. This finding was also confirmed by repeat assays under identical conditions. In addition, RDX did not induce micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells when tested to the maximum tolerated dose of 250 mg/kg in male mice. These results show that RDX was not mutagenic in these in vitro and in vivo mammalian systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a prevalent contaminant in many military installations worldwide. Limited knowledge of the comparative toxicity of sediment-associated TNT and related compounds contributes to uncertainty when assessing ecological risks in contaminated sites. Trinitrotoluene undergoes transformation when associated with soils and sediments and typically occurs as a mixture dominated by its reduction products. The objective of this study was to comparatively evaluate the single-compound toxicity of TNT and its major transformation products to the freshwater midge Chironomus tentans in 10-day exposures to sediment spiked with TNT, 2-aminodinitrotoluene (2-ADNT), 2,4-diaminonitrotoluene (2,4-DANT), or trinitrobenzene (TNB). In addition, the nature of the toxicological interactions of the latter compounds in a mixture was evaluated. Upon spiking to sediment, TNT and TNB rapidly degraded to reduced products, and disappearance of extractable compounds suggested irreversible binding to sediment particles. The high degree of transformation and reactivity occurring during 10 days at spiking concentrations as high as 4000 μmol/kg dry weight suggests that TNT and related compounds are unlikely to be encountered in fine-grained sediments at contaminated sites. Similar to previous investigations, the high reactivity of the spiked compound hampered determination of accurate toxic concentrations of TNT and related compounds, and of the nature of toxicological interaction of compounds in a mixture in this study. Sediment concentrations associated with decreased survival were similar for all four compounds, with the 10-d median lethal concentrations (LC50s) determined using initial concentrations ranging from 175 (2-ADNT) to 605 (2,4-DANT) μmol/kg dry weight. Sublethal decrease in growth was not observed for any compound. Results from the mixture experiment suggest additive interaction among TNT and related compounds in sediment exposures.

AB - Due to the increased use of laser and ground-to-satellite communications the need for reliable optical turbulence information is growing. Optical turbulence information is important because it describes an atmospheric effect that can degrade the performance of electromagnetic systems and sensors, e.g., free-space optical communications and infrared imaging. However, analysis of selected past research indicates that there are some areas (i.e., data and models) in which optical turbulence information is lacking. For example, line-of-sight optical turbulence data coupled with atmospheric models in hilly terrain, coastal areas, and within cities are few in number or non-existent. In addition, the bulk of existing atmospheric computer models being used to provide estimates of optical turbulence are basically one-dimensional in nature and assume uniform turbulence conditions over large areas. As a result, current optical turbulence theory and models may be deficient and in error for inhomogeneous (nonuniform) turbulence conditions, such as those that occur in urban environments or environments with changing topography and energy budgets. While it is anticipated that theoretical advances in environmental physics (and like disciplines) will be a catalyst for much new work this area, in the interim, we suggest that some very practical computational research can be performed to extend existing low-atmospheric turbulence and micrometeorological calculations beyond current limitations.

AB - Dual-Doppler lidar observations are used to assess the accuracy of single-Doppler retrievals of microscale wind and temperature fields in a shear-driven convective boundary layer. The retrieval algorithm, which is based on four-dimensional variational data assimilation, is applied by using dual- and single-Doppler lidar data that are acquired during the Joint Urban 2003 field experiment. The velocity field that was retrieved using single-Doppler data is compared directly with radial velocities that were measured by a second noncollocated lidar. Dual-Doppler retrievals are also performed and then compared with the single-Doppler retrieval. The linear correlation coefficient and rms deviation between the single-Doppler retrieval and the observations from the second lidar are found to be 0.94 and 1.2 m s-1, respectively. The high correlation is mainly the result of good agreement in the mean vertical structure as observed by the two lidars. Comparisons between the single- and dual-Doppler retrieval indicate that the single-Doppler retrieval underestimates the magnitude of fluctuations in the crossbeam direction. Vertical profiles of horizontally averaged correlations between the single- and dual-Doppler retrievals also show a marginal correlation (0.4–0.8) between one of the horizontal velocity components. Again, this suggests that the retrieval algorithm has difficulty estimating the crossbeam component from single-Doppler data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Gene expression profiling is an important tool in the development of medical countermeasures against chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Non-human primates (NHPs), specifically the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), the cynomologus macaque (Macaca fascicularis), and the African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops), are vital models in the development of CWA prophylactics, therapeutics, and diagnostics. However, gene expression profiling of these NHPs is complicated by the fact their genomes are not completely sequenced, and that no commercially available oligonucleotide microarrays (genechips) exist. We, therefore, sought to determine whether gene expression profiling of NHPs could be performed using human genechips. Whole blood RNA was isolated from each species and used to generate genechip probes. Hybridization of the NHP samples to human genechips (Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0) resulted in comparable numbers of transcripts detected compared with human samples. Statistical analysis revealed intraspecies reproducibility of genechip quality control metrics; interspecies comparison between NHPs and humans showed little significant difference in the quality and reproducibility of data generated using human genechips. Expression profiles of each species were compared using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering to determine the similarity of the expression profiles within and across the species. The cynomologus group showed the least intraspecies variability, and the human group showed the greatest intraspecies variability. Intraspecies comparison of the expression profiles identified probe sets that were reproducibly detected within each species. Each NHP species was found to be dissimilar to humans; the cynomologus group was the most dissimilar. Interspecies comparison of the expression profiles revealed probe sets that were reproducibly detected in all species examined. These results show that human genechips can be used for expression profiling of NHP samples and provide a foundation for the development of tools for comparing human and NHP gene expression profiles.

AB - To improve navigation conditions for barges passing through river channels, many submerged weirs (SWs) have been installed along the bendways of many waterways by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This paper presents results from three-dimensional numerical simulations that were conducted to study the helical secondary current (HSC) and the near-field flow distribution around one SW. The simulated flow fields around a SW in a scale physical model were validated using experimental data. The three-dimensional flow fields around a SW, the influence of the SW on general HSC, and the implication of effectiveness of submerged weirs to realign the flow field and improve navigability in bendways were analyzed. The numerical simulations indicated that the SW significantly altered the general HSC. Its presence induced a skewed pressure difference cross its top and a triangular-shaped recirculation to the downstream side. The over-top flow tends to realign toward the inner bank and therefore improves conditions for navigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A cylindrical dialysis sampler (1.2 m in length; 5 cm in diameter) was designed and constructed to sample small–scale phytoremediation processes in the root zone of poplar trees. The study site was a 183–tree plantation of hybrid poplars located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, at the J–Field Area of Concern. The grove was planted in 1996 to intercept a chlorinated solvent plume containing 1,1,2,2–tetrachloroethane (1,1,2,2–TeCA, trichloroethene (TCE) and daughter products. Two dialysis samplers were installed: one directly in the poplar grove (approximately 0.3 m from the trunk of a mature tree) and the other outside of the grove but in the plume. Data collected included concentrations of chlorinated VOCs, organic acids, chloroacetic acids, Cl−, and dissolved gases (ethane, ethene, CH4, CO2). At the control location, the VOC profile was dominated by cis– 1,2–dichloroethene ( cis–1,2–DCE) and trans–1,2–dichloroethene ( trans–1,2–DCE) with concentrations ranging from 0.88-4.5 to 4.4-17.6 mg/L, respectively. Concentrations of VOCs were similar across the vertical profile. At the tree location, 1,1,2,2–TeCA and TCE were the dominant VOCs detected but as opposed to the control location were highly variable within the root zone, with the greatest variability associated with locations in the sampler where roots were observed. This highly variable profile at the tree location is indicative of VOC rhizosphere biodegradation and uptake near the active roots. This variability appears to be on the centimeter scale, emphasizing the importance of these high–resolution samplers for the study of rhizosphere influences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sulfur mustard [bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide, SM] is a chemical warfare agent that penetrates the skin and causes extensive blistering. A weanling swine model was previously developed to evaluate wound healing associated with SM-induced cutaneous injuries. This study was performed to characterize short-term liquid SM exposures using this weanling swine skin model by measuring SM recovery from dosing templates and associated components. Female Yorkshire crossbred swine were exposed cutaneously to approximately 467 mg SM for 15, 20, and 25 seconds as well as for 4, 5, 6, and 7 minutes. At the end of each time period, the dosing template and associated components were removed, the skin was immediately wiped, and the amount of SM present in the dosing template, polytetrafuloroethylene (PTFE) disc, rubber stopper, and towel wipe was measured. The mean total SM extracted from the dosing template, PTFE disc, rubber stopper, and towel wipe decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) over the observed time period with the majority (>99%) of the SM recovered from the dosing template. Significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) amounts of SM were extracted from the PTFE disc over time, whereas a significant time-dependent decrease in SM was extracted from the towel wipes. These results showed significant decreases in total SM recovered from the dosing templates and associated components over the observed time period. The data from this study provide further insight into using the weanling swine skin model for short-term liquid SM exposures. Ultimately, this information may help determine the appropriate length of cutaneous SM exposure resulting in consistent, uniform injuries for evaluating the efficacy of newly developed and existing treatment regimens for SM-induced skin injury.

AB - Statistical analyses of data sets from five case histories indicate that soil–bentonite hydraulic conductivity is distributed log normally. The advection–diffusion equation was used to investigate the impact of log-normal variation in hydraulic conductivity on both steady-state and transient contaminant flux through a cutoff wall with idealized initial and boundary conditions. The results demonstrate that contaminant flux through cutoff walls increases as the variability in hydraulic conductivity increases while all other variables are held constant, including the area-weighted average conductivity. The effect of variability is most pronounced when advective transport and diffusive transport act in opposite directions, as occurs for circumferential cutoff walls that are operated with inward-directed hydraulic gradients to contain contaminated ground water. In this case, the increase in total outward flux due to variability of hydraulic conductivity occurs because the increase in inward advective flux in areas where the seepage velocity is higher than average is more than offset by the increase in outward diffusive flux in areas where the seepage velocity is lower than average.

AB - Turbulent and mean meteorological data collected at five levels on a 20-m tower over the Arctic pack ice during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean experiment (SHEBA) are analyzed to examine different regimes of the stable boundary layer (SBL). Eleven months of measurements during SHEBA cover a wide range of stability conditions, from the weakly unstable regime to very stable stratification. Scaling arguments and our analysis show that the SBL can be classified into four major regimes: (i) surface-layer scaling regime (weakly stable case), (ii) transition regime, (iii) turbulent Ekman layer, and (iv) intermittently turbulent Ekman layer (supercritical stable regime). These four regimes may be considered as the basic states of the traditional SBL. Sometimes these regimes, especially the last two, can be markedly perturbed by gravity waves, detached elevated turbulence (‘upside down SBL’), and inertial oscillations. Traditional Monin–Obukhov similarity theory works well in the weakly stable regime. In the transition regime, Businger–Dyer formulations work if scaling variables are re-defined in terms of local fluxes, although stability function estimates expressed in these terms include more scatter compared to the surface-layer scaling. As stability increases, the near-surface turbulence is affected by the turning effects of the Coriolis force (the turbulent Ekman layer). In this regime, the surface layer, where the turbulence is continuous, may be very shallow (< 5 m). Turbulent transfer near the critical Richardson number is characterized by small but still significant heat flux and negligible stress. The supercritical stable regime, where the Richardson number exceeds a critical value, is associated with collapsed turbulence and the strong influence of the earth’s rotation even near the surface. In the limit of very strong stability, the stress is no longer a primary scaling parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A multigrid numerical method has been applied to a three-dimensional, high-resolution diagnostic model for flow over complex terrain using a mass-consistent approach. The theoretical background for the model is based on a variational analysis using mass conservation as a constraint. The model was designed for diagnostic wind simulation at the microscale in complex terrain and in urban areas. The numerical implementation takes advantage of a multigrid method that greatly improves the computation speed. Three preliminary test cases for the model’s numerical efficiency and its accuracy are given. The model results are compared with an analytical solution for flow over a hemisphere. Flow over a bell-shaped hill is computed to demonstrate that the numerical method is applicable in the case of parameterized lee vortices. A simulation of the mean wind field in an urban domain has also been carried out and compared with observational data. The comparison indicated that the multigrid method takes only 3%–5% of the time that is required by the traditional Gauss–Seidel method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This report presents results from a study on the bacterial diversity of cigarette brands collected from military personnel during the U.S. Army’s investigation of a series of cases of acute eosinophilic pneumonitis in military personnel deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Eight species of Bacillus, including five new species, and one new species of Kurthia were isolated from the cigarettes. Some of these species have been identified elsewhere as causes of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and other respiratory syndromes. All of the isolates were facultative anaerobes, and many displayed mucoid growth under anaerobic conditions. In addition, many isolates also displayed the ability to form surface biofilms under liquid culture. Although biofilm formation and mucoid growth were not correlated, the former was found to be much more pronounced under anaerobic conditions as opposed to aerobic ones. The implications of these findings are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - ABSTRACT. The war in Iraq has spanned the full spectrum of military operations: intense combat, stability-and-support operations, and peacetime activities. Regardless of their nature and relative intensity, military operations are shaped by the characteristics of the military operating environment. Consequently, the scale, tempo, and complexity of any type of military endeavor are linked to the physical and cultural landscapes of the region in which it is conducted. Military geographers use geographical information, tools, and techniques to examine those links. Iraq's operating environment is studied to identify the relevant components of its physical and human geography. This military geographical examination of Iraq tells us a great deal about how the physical and cultural environment have influenced the war, as well as how the complexity of its human landscape continues to affect the postwar rebuilding of the country.

AB - Considerable concentrations of the explosive, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) have been found in the soil at many installations where explosives have been used, manufactured, assembled, or destroyed. To evaluate risk to avian receptors, measures of exposure are compared with a threshold level of sublethal toxicity. To date, a single feeding study has evaluated the responses of oral TNT exposure to birds with equivocal results regarding sublethal effects. The present study followed a controlled dosing regime comprising four dose groups and a control (200, 120, 70, 20, and 0 mg TNT/kg body weight [bw]-day) in the common pigeon ( Columba livia ) for 60 days. Overt signs of toxicity occurred with both sexes between 2 and 3 weeks of exposure. Signs included weight loss, neuromuscular effects (e.g., ataxia, tremors, etc.), and scant red feces (chromaturia). Emetic events following dosing were common and proportional to dose; however, attempts to quantify vomitus compound concentration suggests that birds were marginally successful at removing TNT following administration. Eight of 12 and 2 of 12 males and females died or were moribund in the 200 and 120 mg/kg-day groups, respectively. Changes in hematological parameters, liver, kidney, and ovary weights were related to treatment. Dose-related changes in plasma albumin and sodium concentrations were also observed. These results suggest that subchronic exposure to TNT can adversely affect the central nervous system and hematological parameters in birds. Chemical analysis of blood detected concentrations of the two primary reduction metabolites, but not parent compound, suggesting that toxicity may be due to the bioaccumulation of a toxic intermediate.

AB - Military activities associated with training, munitions manufacturing, and demilitarization has resulted in soil residues of munition compounds and their breakdown products. Two isomers of dinitrotoluene (2,4- and 2,6-) are often found in soil associated with those activities at considerable concentrations. Consequently, issues regarding the effects of exposure to birds that visit these habitats require evaluation. To provide data useful to a risk assessment approach, we followed a controlled dosing regime (gavage) using 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) in the Northern Bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus ) for 60 days following a 14-day range-finding study and the determination of a LD 50 using the up/down method. The LD 50 was determined to be 55 mg/kg using corn oil as a vehicle. Individuals dosed exceeding this level were moribund or died within 60 h of exposure. Morbidity and death occurred during the 14-day range-finding study at dosing regimens of 35 and 55, but not at 15, 5, and 0.5 mg/kg-day. Compound-related morbidity/mortality occurred in the 60-day study during the first week of exposure at 25 and 15, but not at 5, 1, and 0 mg/kg-day. Overt signs of toxicity occurred with both sexes at the onset of exposure. Signs included weight loss, diarrhea, and lethargy. Dose-related changes in egg production, ovary, kidney, and brain mass, and body weight, but not feed consumption, were found. Changes in kidney mass and histological observations suggest accumulation of nitrogenous waste may be the cause of morbidity. These data suggest that oral 2,4-DNT exposures are more acutely toxic and has a different etiology than 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene in birds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper evaluates the performance of two numerical wave models, GHOST and STWAVE, with measurements made in an idealized inlet physical model. The emphasis of this paper is on the overall performance of these models in coastal inlets. Both wave models are similar in that they employ a finite-difference method to solve the wave action conservation equation for the steady-state wave spectral transformation. However, these models differ in the computation of diffraction, reflection, wave breaking, and representation of the directional spectrum transformation. The models’ performance is compared with a new set of physical model data for four different idealized inlet configurations. Wave height is measured in the physical model by a linear array of capacitance wave gauges, and wave direction is measured by a remote-sensing video-camera system. The comparison with data is presented as mean absolute relative errors of wave height and mean absolute difference of wave direction. Both wave models produced similar results, but neither could accurately describe waves observed in the physical model in inlets and near structures. The mean absolute relative error of wave height prediction from models was between 22 and 40% as compared with the measured data. The mean absolute error of wave direction estimates ranged from 5 to 12 degrees. Overall, wave direction estimates from GHOST in inlets and near structures compared slightly better with measurements.

AB - Many U.S. military buildings being targeted for removal contain large quantities of potentially reusable wood materials. In this study, we evaluated approximately 2180 m (7,152 ft) of painted Douglas-fir siding salvaged from U.S. Army barracks. Utilizing a conventional woodworking molder, we evaluated the feasibility of producing several standardized wood product profiles, including flooring, bevel siding, and paneling. Evaluation of visual quality followed by remanufacture of siding coated with lead-based paint indicated that valuable wood products could be produced from the salvaged siding; however, this value is dependent on several factors, including the original quality (grade) as well as the extent of damage (e.g., nail holes, splits, discoloration, decay. weathering). We conclude that wood siding salvaged from military buildings can be successfully remanufactured into value-added products. Tongue & groove (T&G) flooring is a promising product in particular since short pieces of siding can be utilized. As much as 50 percent of the weight of salvaged siding can be diverted from landfill disposal by remanufacturing into T&G flooring. In addition, the market value of T&G flooring may be less affected by nail holes in the salvaged siding. We estimate that T&G flooring has a potential sale value of $3 to $6 per square foot and remanufactured Douglas-fir millwork has a potential producer sale value of about $1.20 to $1.90 per board foot.

AB - It is well known that the lead contained in lead-based paint (LBP) can pose a serious human health risk if ingested. In our nation's building infrastructure, millions of meters of high quality salvageable lumber have been coated with LBP. The study presented in this and a companion paper investigated the feasibility of producing several standardized wood product profiles, including flooring, bevel siding, and paneling, from salvaged LBP-coated wood. This paper presents the results of an evaluation of worker and workplace exposure to lead during wood remilling operations. Approximately 2180 m (7,152 ft) of painted Douglas-fir drop siding salvaged from deconstructed U.S. Army barracks was evaluated. Results indicate that when properly sized and specified, commonly available woodworking machinery and dust collection systems can be used to safely profile, filter, and collect waste LBP shavings and dust from remachining operations. Lead exposure to workers in the vicinity of remanufacturing operations was found to be less than one-tenth that of the OSHA permissible exposure limit for indoor lead exposure. In addition, lead present on the produced wood product was found to be a fraction of that found on the original painted wood material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The paper assesses the bioavailability of mirex in surface sediments from a contaminated area of Lake Ontario using a standard freshwater bioaccumulation test with the aquatic oligochaete worm, Lumbriculus variegatus. The species is a surficial sediment deposit feeder used in prescribed Great Lakes sediment bioaccumulation tests. The sediment samples for the study were collected in 2003 at a 20-meter deep open-lake area off the south shore of Lake Ontario near Rochester Harbor in Rochester, Monroe County in New York. The use of theoretical bioaccumulation potential estimated from empirically derived Biota-Sediment Accumulation Factors provides a simple, cost-effective, screening tool for estimating the bioaccumulation of sediment-associated mirex and other non-polar organic compounds from sediments.

AB - O-isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate, also known as sarin or GB, is a highly toxic organophosphorous compound that exerts its effect by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. While the effects of a single exposure to GB vapor are well characterized, the effects of multiple exposures to GB vapor are less clear. Previous studies in the rat and guinea pig have demonstrated that multiple exposures result in tolerance to the miotic effect of nerve agents. The aim of the present study was to examine potential mechanisms responsible for tolerance to the miotic effect of GB vapor that has been observed in the rat after multiple exposures. Multiple whole-body inhalation exposures to GB vapor were conducted in a dynamic airflow chamber. Exposures lasted 60 min and each of the three exposures occurred at 24-h intervals. The results of the present study demonstrate that the α-adrenergic antagonist phentolamine and the β-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol did not affect the development of tolerance to the miotic effect of GB vapor, suggesting that enhanced sympathetic tone to the eye is not responsible for the observed tolerance. Administration of atropine before the first exposure prevented the tolerance to the miotic effect of GB vapor after the third exposure, suggesting that the tolerance is the result of muscarinic receptor desensitization secondary to receptor stimulation. The present study extends the findings of previous studies to strengthen the hypothesis that the miotic tolerance observed in the rat upon repeated exposure to nerve agents is due to desensitization of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors located on the pupillary sphincter.

AB - Air–sea transfer processes over the ocean strongly affect how hurricanes develop. High winds generate large amounts of sea spray, which can modify the transfer of momentum, heat, and moisture across the air–sea interface. However, the extent to which sea spray can modify extratropical or midlatitude hurricanes and intense cyclones has not been resolved. This paper reports simulations of extratropical Hurricanes Earl (1998) and Danielle (1998) and an intense winter cyclone from January 2000 using a mesoscale atmospheric model and a recent sea spray parameterization. These simulations show that sea spray can increase the sea surface heat flux, especially the latent heat flux, in a midlatitude cyclone and that sea spray’s impact on cyclone intensity depends on the storm structure and development and is strongest for cyclones with high winds.

AB - This study investigates operation efficiency and user satisfaction for spatial and temporal shapes of augmented force-feedback fields to be used with computer pointing devices in target acquisition tasks. In an experiment, three different force-field shapes at two different mean force levels were compared, with an electromechanical force-feedback trackball as control device and with efficiency and user satisfaction as dependent variables. Efficiency was measured by the time required to perform a certain task, and user satisfaction was measured through a subjective rating procedure. Satisfaction results indicate that to a rough approximation, participants can be grouped into those who prefer high and those who prefer low force levels. Members of the former group were most satisfied with force fields with a gradual start and an abrupt ending. This force-field shape also proved to be the most efficient for both groups. When all participants were considered as a single group, none of the effects was found to be statistically significant. A gender effect was also found; in both preference groups women achieved significantly shorter task completion times than men. Actual or potential applications of this research include enabling computer interaction for people prone to repetitive strain injuries and the increment of efficiency and satisfaction in human-computer interaction in general.

AB - Following the derivation of a distributed-parameter large basin runoff model from a lumped-parameter version for the Great Lakes in the companion paper, we here apply it to the Kalamazoo River watershed in southwest Michigan. First we review relevant similar efforts and then describe the digitization of the watershed into a network of cells through which watershed internal flows are routed. We present the technology used on the Kalamazoo River to create grids of topography, soils, land use, and vegetation data. We describe the calibration of both lumped-parameter and distributed-parameter runoff models on the Kalamazoo River and use observed spatial data variations in our parameter determinations. We investigate alternative evapotranspiration schemes, spatial parameter patterns, solar insolation interpretations, and temporal scaling and compare model results. We suggest model extensions for future work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Using a plasma arc torch to vitrify soils contaminated with solid and hazardous wastes produces an extremely durable product greatly reduced in volume and surface area. Although vitrification is understood in principle, thermal and geochemical changes occurring in contaminated soils during vitrification are poorly characterized. In this work, these changes were studied by first constructing a theoretical model and then performing laboratory scale vitrification experiments. The theoretical model is founded on standard heat transfer equations. The model predictions were used to design the subsequent experiments. The model successfully predicted a 100 °C temperature plateau and the width of the vitrified zone formed using kilowatt-size torches. The model indicated that most melting occurs in the first 30 min after the torch is turned on, suggesting that powering the torch for long periods of time is inefficient. The model also showed that melting below the groundwater table is energy inefficient. Laboratory experiments were conducted by filling a 4-foot tall, 4-foot diameter cylinder with compacted soil doped with CsHCO and HoO and inserting a plasma torch in a centrally located borehole. Thermocouples installed at various distances from the torch revealed an extremely steep thermal gradient. Soil and glass samples were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The glasses produced were more homogenous than the starting soil, indicating vigorous convection within the molten zone. Water, organic compounds, and silica were strongly volatilized during vitrification; lead (Pb) had the highest volatility of all trace elements studied, and no significant cesium volatility was observed.

AB - While speculation on effects of dredging on seagrass beds is plentiful, actual empirical data documenting these effects are not. In this study, acoustic-based seagrass mapping techniques were used to generate detailed maps of seagrass distribution before and after dredging operations. Eelgrass (Zostera marina) within Scituate Harbor, MA, was monitored during mid-summer in 2001, 2003, and 2004; navigation maintenance dredging of the harbor was performed during fall 2002. Similar surveys were also performed during the same timeframe at an un-dredged harbor near Wood Island, Maine. Two types of potential impacts were examined. Direct impacts involved physical removal of vegetation along with the dredged sediments. Indirect impacts in adjacent un-dredged areas may occur as a result of increased turbidity and/or siltation associated with dredging activities. Using hydroacoustic techniques, we were able to easily map and quantify direct impacts to eelgrass resources. Assessment of indirect impacts, however, was more complex. In the first post-dredging survey, a substantial reduction in coverage occurred in adjoining un-dredged areas, suggesting possible indirect impacts. This was followed by a modest recovery between the first and second post-dredging years. However, monitoring of other un-dredged sites within the region showed natural year-to-year variations in eelgrass coverage to be almost as large as those occurring at the dredged site. Results emphasize the need for long-term data to discern any potential effects of dredging on seagrass dynamics as opposed to a host of other factors contributing to high variability in measured parameters.

AB - The performance of the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Model Package is examined in four steps of model development. The steps include initial application, grid refinements, addition of living resources, and grid refinements with recalibration. Performance statistics are presented for the mainstem bay and for the James River, a major tributary. Computed salinity has the lowest relative error. Computed total phosphorus and surface chlorophyll have the greatest relative error. Errors in the bay are lower than in the James River. The capacity of the model has increased substantially over more than a decade but quantitative performance, measured by the summary statistics, has reached a plateau. Limited spatial sampling, uncertainty in loading, and difficulty in assigning boundary conditions are among the factors that limit the accuracy that can be attained with the model.

AB - The widely accepted assumption that the equilibrium beach profile in the surf zone corresponds with uniform wave-energy dissipation per unit volume is directly examined in six cases from the large-scale SUPERTANK laboratory experiment. Under irregular waves, the pattern of wave-energy dissipation across a large portion of the surf zone became relatively uniform as the beach profile evolved toward equilibrium. Rates of wave-energy dissipation across a near-equilibrium profile calculated from wave decay in the surf zone support the prediction derived by DEAN(1977). Substantially different equilibrium beach-profile shapes and wave-energy dissipation rates and patterns were generated for regular waves as compared to irregular waves of similar statistical significant wave height and spectral peak period. Large deviation of wave-energy dissipation from the equilibrium rate occurred at areas on the beach profile with active net cross-shore sediment transport and substantial sedimentation and erosion. The rate of wave-energy dissipation was greater at the main breaker line and in the swash zone, as compared to middle of the surf zone. Based on analysis of the SUPERTANK data, a simple equation is developed for predicting the height of irregular waves in the surf zone on an equilibrium profile. The decay in wave height is proportional to the water depth to the one-half power, as opposed to values of unity or greater derived previously for regular waves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The results of two pilot-scale experiments on enhanced electrokinetic extraction of lead from contaminated soil samples collected from a military Small Arms Training Facility are presented. The tests were conducted using two boxes with electrode spacing of 87 cm (Box 1) and 174 cm (Box 2). The soil was formed of a sandy layer on top of a clayey sand layer. The soil contained bullet fragments and the mean initial lead concentration in the minus 2.00 mm soil fraction was 3041 mg/kg and 1187 mg/kg in the sand and clayey sand layers, respectively. A current density of 1.3 A/m2 was used in both tests and was doubled after 112 days of processing. organic acid was used to maintain the catholyte pH between 4 and 5. Box 1 and Box 2 were processed for 9 months and 11 months, respectively. The results showed that organic acid amendment at the cathode reduced the voltage and energy requirement by 70% and enhanced lead extraction. Lead transport showed a delay of about 14 days in the initial transport front development. For the conditions described in this study, the reactive rate of lead transport by ion migration and electroosmosis was 0.4 cm/day under 1 V/cm, which is less than 10% of the theoretical nonreactive value. There was a minimum limit for lead extraction from the soil by electrokinetics. Final lead concentrations in the treated sections were around 500 mg/kg in the sand and 400 mg/kg in the clayey sand. The results represent a reduced lead concentration by 85% in the sand and by 70% in the clayey sand. Complete breakthrough of lead did not occur due to accumulation near the cathode, even though catholyte pH was 4 to 5. A transverse upward transport and accumulation of lead at the soil surface was observed in both tests. Treatment duration of 9 months was adequate for Box 1, while 11 months of processing was not enough for Box 2 to bring the total lead concentration to below 500 mg/kg across the soil. Electrical energy cost for the process was between $14 and $18 per cubic meter per month. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Robust ecosystem analysis of water resource systems remains elusive. A principle reason is the difficulty in linking engineering models used to simulate physicochemical processes associated with project design or operation with biological models used to simulate biological population attributes. A retrospective shows that each modeling tradition can be generally assigned (with exceptions) into either an Eulerian or Lagrangian reference framework. Eulerian and Lagrangian reference frameworks can be coupled to create a new synthesis, the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian Hybrid Ecological Modeling Concept (CEL Hybrid Concept), capable of simulating different ecosystem processes that range widely in spatial and temporal scale. The foundation of the CEL Hybrid Concept is the coupler, a collection of algorithms based on conservation principles that transform and conserve data in a way that allows the two frameworks to share a common information base. The coupling algorithm allows the simulation to aggregate, disaggregate, and translate information, as required by each framework, so that processes that differ substantially in scale can each be adequately simulated. The coupled system is illustrated by linking a fish swim path selection model with a hydrodynamic and water quality model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A 1D nonlinear numerical model, Primary Consolidation, Secondary Compression, and Desiccation of Dredged Fill (PSDDF), is presented to predict the settlement of fine-grained dredged material and/or underlying compressible foundation materials that may be over-, under-, or normally consolidated. The three most important natural processes affecting the long-term settlement and thus service life of dredged material placement areas are primary consolidation, secondary compression, and desiccation. Nonlinear finite-strain consolidation theory is used to predict the settlement due to self-weight and surcharge-induced consolidation. The Cα/Cc concept is used to predict the settlement from secondary compression, and an empirical desiccation model is used to describe the settlement from removal of water from confined dredged material by surface drying. This paper describes the modifications and improvements of PSDDF that present new functions and enhanced numerical efficiency. A companion paper describes the input parameters of PSDDF.

AB - This paper presents practical applications of PSDDF (Primary Consolidation, Secondary Compression, and Desiccation of Dredged Fill), which is described in a companion paper by the writers. In addition, consolidation and desiccation parameters for 27 dredged materials are presented from 20 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers placement areas to facilitate usage of PSDDF. The consolidation parameters of three cohesionless soils for sand capping and drainage and three compressible foundation materials are included to provide a PSDDF user with suitable parameters for these material types. To reduce the difficulty of obtaining the consolidation and desiccation parameters for dredged material, empirical correlations between the required parameters and soil index properties are presented.

If the samples are not representative, any conclusions or decisions will be incorrect. A complete understanding of the data quality objective process, sample plan design, sample plan implementation, and quality control is required to assess sample representativeness.

AB - Field sampling experiments were conducted at various locations on training ranges at three military installations within North America. The areas investigated included an anti-tank range firing point, an anti-tank range impact area, an artillery-range firing point, and an artillery-range impact area. The purpose of this study was to develop practical sampling strategies to reliably estimate mean concentrations of residues from munitions found in surface soil at various types of live-fire training ranges. The ranges studied differ in the types of energetic residues deposited and the mode of deposition. In most cases, the major source zones for these residues are the top two or three centimeters of soil. Multi-increment sampling was used to reduce the variance between field sample replicates and to enhance sample representativeness. Based on these criteria the results indicate that a single or a few discrete samples do not provide representative data for these types of sites. However, samples built from at least 25 increments provided data that was sufficiently representative to allow for the estimation of energetic residue mass loading in surface soils and to characterize the training activity at a given location, thereby addressing two objectives that frequently are common to both environmental and forensic investigations.

AB - The sediment budget is fundamental in coastal science and engineering. Budgets allow estimates to be made of the volume or volume rate of sediment entering and exiting a defined region of the coast and the surplus or deficit remaining in that region. Sediment budgets have been regularly employed with variations in approaches to determine the sources and sinks through application of the primary conservation of mass equation. Historically, sediment budgets have been constructed and displayed (in paper or maps. Challenges in constructing a sediment budget include determining the appropriate boundaries of the budget and interior cells; defining the possible range of sediment transport pathways, and the relative magnitude of each; representing the uncertainty associated with values and assumptions in the budget; and testing the sensitivity of the series of budgets to variations in the unknown and temporally-changing values. These challenges are usually addressed by representing a series of budget alternatives that are ultimately drawn on paper, maps, or graphs. Applications of the methodology include detailed local-scale sediment budgets, such as for an inlet or beach fill project, and large-scale sediment budgets for the region surrounding the study area. The local-scale budget has calculation cells representing features on the order of 10a to 100s of meters, and it must he shown separately from the regional sediment budget, with cells ranging from 100s of meters to kilometers. This paper reviews commonly applied sediment budget concepts and introduces new considerations intended to make the sediment budget process more reliable, streamlined, and understandable. The need for both local and regional sediment budgets is discussed, and the utility of combining, or collapsing, cells is shown to he beneficial for local budgets within a regional system. Collapsing all cells within the budget creates a "macrobudget," which can be applied to check for overall balance of values. An automated means of changing the magnitude of terms, while maintaining the same dependency on other values within the sediment budget, is presented. Finally, the need for and method of tracking uncertainty within the sediment budget, and a means for conducting sensitivity analyses, are discussed. These new concepts are demonstrated within the Sediment Budget Analysis System with an application for Long Island, New York, and Ocean City Inlet, Maryland. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A 4-month deployment on Ice Station Weddell (ISW) in the western Weddell Sea yielded over 2000 h of nearly continuous surface-level meteorological data, including eddy-covariance measurements of the turbulent surface fluxes of momentum, and sensible and latent heat. Those data lead to a new parameterization for the roughness length for wind speed, z0, for snow-covered sea ice that combines three regimes: an aerodynamically smooth regime, a high-wind saltation regime, and an intermediate regime between these two extremes where the macroscale or `permanent' roughness of the snow and ice determines z0. Roughness lengths for temperature, zT, computed from this data set corroborate the theoretical model that Andreas published in 1987. Roughness lengths for humidity,zQ, do not support this model as conclusively but are all, on average, within an order of magnitude of its predictions. Only rarely arezTand zQ equal to z0. These parameterizations have implications for models that treat the atmosphere-ice-ocean system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Restoration projects have an uncertain outcome because of a lack of information about current site conditions, historical disturbance levels, effects of landscape alterations on site development, unpredictable trajectories or patterns of ecosystem structural development, and many other factors. Because of these uncertainties, project costs can rise dramatically in an attempt to come closer to project goals. All of the potential sources of error can be addressed to a certain degree through adaptive management. The first step is admitting that these uncertainties can exist, and addressing as many of the uncertainties with planning and directed research prior to implementing the project. The second step is to evaluate uncertainties through hypothesis-drive experiments during project implementation. The third step is to use the monitoring program to evaluate and adjust the project as needed to improve the probability that the project will reach its goal. The fourth and final step is to use the information gained in the project to improve future projects. A framework that includes a clear goal statement, a conceptual model, and an evaluation framework can help in this adaptive restoration process. Projects and programs vary in their application of adaptive management in restoration, and it is very difficult to be highly prescriptive in applying adaptive management to projects that necessarily vary widely in scope, goal, ecosystem characteristics, and uncertainties. One project, which included directed research and site assessments, resulted in successful restoration of seagrasses near a ferry terminal in Puget Sound and illustrates how an adaptive management process can assist in improving the outcome of small projects. We recommended that all restoration programs be conducted in adaptive management framework, and where appropriate, a more active adaptive management approach be applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene (TNB) is a munitions chemical that causes gliovascular lesions in the brain stem of rats similar to those produced by thiamine deficiency and nitroaromatic compounds, including m -dinitrobenzene. To identify neuropathic indices of toxicity, the effects of varying concentrations (0 to 2 mM) of TNB on cytotoxicity and cellular metabolic activity were examined using cultured astrocytes from Fischer-344 rats. The cytotoxicity was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage into the culture medium. Astrocyte metabolic activity was assessed by measuring the conversion of a tetrazolium salt to a formazan product. Additionally, the effects of oxidative stress on cellular metabolic activity were determined by varying oxygen tension via alteration of culture media depth. In vitro, the toxic concentration 50% (TC 50 ) of TNB, which induced cell death, was 16 µM following a 24-h exposure. The concentration of TNB that reduced cellular metabolic activity by 50% was 29 µM following a 24-h exposure. Varying the depth of the culture media did not influence the cellular metabolic activity in control or TNB-treated astrocytes. These results support the hypothesis that TNB induced neurotoxicity could partially be mediated via injury to astrocytes, a major component of the blood-brain barrier. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Objective: To determine the effects of current hearing protection/enhancement devices (HPEDs) and tactical communications and protection systems (TCAPS) on auditory detection and identification of three critical military signals associated with potential 'threats.' Design: Utilizing a 6 × 3 within-subject experimental design, 24 normal-hearing Virginia Tech Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets and active duty soldiers participated. Study sample: Five HPEDS and TCAP devices plus the open ear were tested. On each trial, either wearing a device or with open ears, subjects walked along a 3000-foot line of discrete distance markers toward the auditory threat, which was not visible but still within line-of-sight over flat terrain, stopping to listen when instructed. On approach to the threat, the linear distance at first detection was measured, followed by a continued approach until positive identification occurred. Then the subject reversed direction, retreating away from the threat until detection was lost. Results: ANOVA and post hoc tests were applied to determine statistically-significant differences among HPEDs, TCAPS, and the open ear on the objective detection and identification distance measures. Conclusions: The results have serious implications for selection of HPDs, HPEDs, and TCAPS for applications where preservation of auditory situational awareness via the fundamental detection and identification tasks are essential.

AB - Soldiers are required to perform basic combat tasks, such as move, shoot, and communicate, and to make decisions under many environmental stressors, including continuous operations and information-processing tasks driven by C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and other types of information systems. Knowledge requires information processing, and increased processing is usually the root cause of increased error. Friend-or-foe decision-making research has primarily focused on the types of equipment being used and task difficulty levels to examine shoot–don’t shoot errors; however, newer theoretical approaches may enhance cognitive performance research and models focused on decision-making performance. Higher explanatory power and better prediction models may be created using multitheoretical individual factors derived from transactional-stress and information-processing theories. The purpose of this study was to examine multitheoretical individual factor effects of emotional and cognitive predictor variables under dual-task simulated shoot–don’t shoot target scenarios. A quantitative repeated-measures approach was used with a convenience sample of 12 U.S. Army soldiers ages 18 to 34 years. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - It seems strange to claim that it is dangerous for organizations to achieve the success they seek; however, there are numerous cases of successful organizations facing decline soon after achieving success. This often occurs because these organizations fall into the trap of focusing too much on execution once they achieve success, which causes them to neglect the innovative approach that enabled achieving success in the first place. To avoid this trap, leaders must ensure that their organizations have a clearly identified and transformative purpose that guides organizational member work and inspires them to improve. The leader must also ensure that there is a well‐established and understood process for improvement that facilitates learning and innovation. Finally, the leader must model, and organizational policies must reflect, the proper balance between execution and innovation. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - Veterans of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield − the 1991 Gulf War (GW) − are a unique population who returned from theater with multiple health complaints and disorders. Studies in the U.S. and elsewhere have consistently concluded that approximately 25–32% of this population suffers from a disorder characterized by symptoms that vary somewhat among individuals and include fatigue, headaches, cognitive dysfunction, musculoskeletal pain, and respiratory, gastrointestinal and dermatologic complaints. Gulf War illness (GWI) is the term used to describe this disorder. In addition, brain cancer occurs at increased rates in subgroups of GW veterans, as do neuropsychological and brain imaging abnormalities. Chemical exposures have become the focus of etiologic GWI research because nervous system symptoms are prominent and many neurotoxicants were present in theater, including organophosphates (OPs), carbamates, and other pesticides; sarin/cyclosarin nerve agents, and pyridostigmine bromide (PB) medications used as prophylaxis against chemical warfare attacks. Psychiatric etiologies have been ruled out. This paper reviews the recent literature on the health of 1991 GW veterans, focusing particularly on the central nervous system and on effects of toxicant exposures. In addition, it emphasizes research published since 2008, following on an exhaustive review that was published in that year that summarizes the prior literature (RACGWI, 2008). We conclude that exposure to pesticides and/or to PB are causally associated with GWI and the neurological dysfunction in GW veterans. Exposure to sarin and cyclosarin and to oil well fire emissions are also associated with neurologically based health effects, though their contribution to development of the disorder known as GWI is less clear. Gene-environment interactions are likely to have contributed to development of GWI in deployed veterans. The health consequences of chemical exposures in the GW and other conflicts have been called 'toxic wounds' by veterans. This type of injury requires further study and concentrated treatment research efforts that may also benefit other occupational groups with similar exposure-related illnesses.

AB - Lightly reinforced and unreinforced masonry buildings have not performed well in earthquakes. Evaluation of past performance of masonry structures has led to more stringent design and construction requirements in the current building codes, and has raised concerns about the performance of existing lightly reinforced and unreinforced masonry buildings in future earthquakes. Base isolation has been shown to be effective in reducing damage to large building structures, and appears to be particularly effective in protecting stiff masonry structures. Using the base isolation principle, Kansas State University’s stiffness decoupler for the base isolation of structures (SDBIS) was designed to effectively reduce the acceleration and force transferred into a building superstructure during a seismic event. The sliding system uses a passive method to provide damping and to dissipate some of the kinetic energy to reduce relative displacements. In addition, the SDBIS system includes a self-centering element that will recover the majority of the induced displacement and provide resistance to overturning. In order to apply the SDBIS system to the masonry building industry, dynamic testes were performed to evaluate the structural response of a full-size one-story masonry model that was supported by the SDBIS system. Acceleration time-history results are presented for dynamic tests using the July 21, 1952 Kern County earthquake, Station 1095 Taft Lincoln School record, the May 19, 1940 Imperial Valley earthquake, Station 117 El Centro Array #9 record, the February 9, 1971 San Fernando earthquake, Station 279 Pacoima Dam record, and the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake, Station 24436 Tarzana Cedar Hill record ground motions. Test results show the system is effective when used with a masonry structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper describes the use of multiple-objective decision analysis to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the quality of an endangered watershed and guide future efforts to improve the quality of the watershed. The Upham Brook Watershed is an urban watershed that lies at the interface of declining inner-city Richmond, Virginia, and growth-oriented Henrico County. A section of stream within the watershed has been identified as so dangerously polluted that it threatens the health of the residents who live within the watershed boundaries. With funding provided by the National Science Foundation, the Upham Brook Watershed project committee was formed to address the quality of the Upham Brook Watershed; it consisted of experts from multiple disciplines: stream ecology, environmental policy, water policy, ground and surface water hydrology and quality, aquatic biology, political science, sociology, citizen participation, community interaction, psychology, and decision and risk analysis. Each member's values and goals were brought together using a watershed management framework to meet the overall objective of the committee: to maximize the quality of the Upham Brook Watershed. The resulting model was used to identify the largest value gaps and to identify future programs needed to improve the quality of the watershed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sulfur mustard [SM; bis-(2-chloroethyl) sulfidel, which causes skin blistering or vesication 1(1991). Hist.o- and cytopathology of acute epithelial lesions. In: Papirmeister, B., Feister, A. J., Robinson, S. 1., Ford, R. U., eds. Medical Defense Against Mustard Gas: Toxic Mechanisms and Pharmacological Implications. Boca Raton: CRC Press, pp. 43-78.], is a chemical warfare agent as well as a potential terrorism agent. SM-induced skin blistering is believed to be due to epidermal-dermal detachment as a result of epidermal basal cell death via apoptosis and/or necrosis. Regarding the role of apoptosis in SM pathology in animal skin, the results obtained in several laboratories. including ours, suggest the following: 11 cell death due to SM begins via apoptosis that proceeds to necrosis via an apoptotic-necrotic continuum and 2) inhibiting apoptosis decreases SM-induced microvesication in vivo. To study the mechanisms of SM- induced apoptosis and its prevention in vitro, we have established a convenient fluorometric apoptosis assay using monolayer human epidermal keratinocytes (HEK) adaptable for multiwell plates (24-, 96-, or 384-well) and high-throughput applications. This assay allows replication and multiple types of experimental manipulation in sister cultures so that the apoptotic mechanisms and the effects of test compounds can be compared statistically. SM affects diverse cellular mechanisms, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ homeostasis, mitochondrial functions, energy metabolism, and death receptors, each of which can independently trigger apoptosis. However, the biochemical pathway in any of these apoptotic mechanisms is characterized by a pathway-specific sequence of caspases, among which caspase-3 is a key member. Therefore, we exposed 80-9O%confluent HEK cultures to SM and monitored apoptosis by measuring the fluorescence generated due to hydrolysis of a fluorogen caspase-3 substrate (acetyl- or benzyl oxycarhonyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp- fluorochrorne, also designated as AC-or Z-DEVD- fluorochrome) added to the assay medium. Fluorescence was measured using a plate reader. We used two types of substrates, one Sigma-Aldrich, CASP-3-F) required cell disruption and the other (Beckman-Coulter CeliProbe HI Caspase-3/7 Whole Cell Assay Kit) was cell permeable. The latter substrate was useful in experiments such as determining the time-course of apoptosis immediately following SM exposure without disruption (e.g., due to cell processing). In SM-exposed HEK, fluorescence generated from the fluorogenic caspase-3 substrate hydrolysis increased in a time (0-24 h) and concentration (0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 mM) dependent manner. SM caused maximum fluorescence at about 0.5 mM. However, at 2 mM SM, fluorescence decreased compared with 0.5 mM, which remains to be explained. Following 0.3 mM SM exposure, which is considered to be the in vitro equivalent of a vesicating dose in vivo (Smith, W. J., Sanders, K. M., Ruddle, S. E., Gross, C. L. (1993). Cytometric analysis of DNA changes induced by sulfur mustard. J. Toxicol.-Cut. Ocular Toxicol. 124):337 -347.), a small fluorescence increase was observed at 6 to S h, which was markedly higher at 12 h. At 24 h. all SM concentrations increased fluorescence. Fluorescence increase due to SM was prevented 100% by a caspase-3-specific peptide inhibitor AC-DEVD-CI1O (acetyl-Azp-Glu-Val-Asp-aldehyde, 0.1 mM), but less effectively by a genera! caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK (benzyl oxycarbonyl-Val-Ala- Asp-fluoromethylketone, 0.01 mM), indicating that the fluorescence increase was due to caspase-3 -mediated apoptosis. These results suggest potential applications of this method to study apoptosis mechanisms involving caspase-3 substrates and possibly those involving other caspase substrates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A coupled surface/subsurface hydrologic model was developed to examine the effects of climatic conditions on stage fluctuations within a semipermanent wetland located in the Prairie Pothole region of east-central North Dakota. Model calibration was accomplished using data collected from 1981 until 1996 to encompass extreme climatic conditions. Simulation results suggest that wetland inflows are dominated by runoff (36%), direct precipitation to the lake (45%) and groundwater inflows (19%), while outflow from the wetland is primarily evaporation (84%) and groundwater discharge to the underlying aquifer (16%). Modeled surface runoff produces short duration, high magnitude flows typically associated with spring thaw while modeled groundwater provides flows smaller in magnitude but longer in duration that may be increasingly important to wetland stage during extended periods of drought and flood. Despite an oversimplification of the complex groundwater component of the wetland system it was found that this modeling approach was able to predict system response over 16 years under extreme climatic conditions.

AB - A tidal prism water quality model (TPWQM) was developed to provide a tool for government agencies for water quality management of small coastal basins. It simulates physical transport using the concept of tidal flushing, includes one of the most sophisticated representations of eutrophication processes in water column and benthic sediment, and employs an innovative solution scheme that is simple, accurate, and computationally efficient. The predictive capability of the water column portion of TPWQM was demonstrated through successful calibration and validation of the model with extensive data sets collected from Lynnhaven Bay, Virginia. The model's general applicability was examined for four other Virginia coastal basins. One value (0.3) of the returning ratio, the only calibration parameter for physical transport, is applicable to all five coastal basins and probably would be adequate for other Virginia coastal basins without further calibration. The values of kinetic parameters determined for Lynnhaven Bay are applicable to at least two of the other four coastal basins. The model underpredicts chlorophyll-a, total carbon, and total phosphorus in two of the tested basins, which is more likely the result of underpredicted nonpoint source loads than the inaccuracy of the kinetic coefficients. Therefore, the set of kinetic coefficients may be applicable to all the Virginia coastal basins with basin-specific refinement in the estimation of nonpoint source loads. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The hydraulic conductivity of soil-bentonite backfill in three pilot-scale cutoff walls was measured using laboratory tests on disturbed samples, laboratory tests on undisturbed samples, piezocone dissipation tests, and piezometer tests (also known as slug tests or single-well tests). In addition, a global measurement of the average hydraulic conductivity of the soil-bentonite backfill in one of the cutoff walls was made using the pilot-scale test facility. Two main factors distinguish these five different methods of measuring hydraulic conductivity: remolding and sample size. Remolding of samples tested in American Petroleum Institute filter press equipment significantly reduced their hydraulic conductivity compared to the hydraulic conductivity of undisturbed samples, which were of similar size. For the other tests, where the degree and extent of remolding were less significant, hydraulic conductivity was found to increase as sample size increased, with the global measurement producing the highest value. The existence of bentonite filter cakes on trench walls reduces the influence of sample size on the equivalent hydraulic conductivity of the barrier. Findings regarding locating defects with a piezocone and hydraulic fracture in piezometer tests are also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Equine epizootics of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) occurred in the southern Mexican states of Chiapas in 1993 and Oaxaca in 1996. To assess the impact of continuing circulation of VEE virus (VEEV) on human and animal populations, serologic and viral isolation studies were conducted in 2000 to 2001 in Chiapas State. Human serosurveys and risk analyses indicated that long-term endemic transmission of VEEV occurred among villages with seroprevalence levels of 18% to 75% and that medical personnel had a high risk for VEEV exposure. Seroprevalence in wild animals suggested cotton rats as possible reservoir hosts in the region. Virus isolations from sentinel animals and genetic characterizations of these strains indicated continuing circulation of a subtype IE genotype, which was isolated from equines during the recent VEE outbreaks. These data indicate long-term enzootic and endemic VEEV circulation in the region and continued risk for disease in equines and humans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Contaminated dredged material is often placed in confined disposal facilities (CDFs) designed and managed to control environmental impacts of the disposed sediment. This note presents equations for use in a screening procedure to evaluate the impact of a CDF on groundwater. The hydrologic evaluation of leachate production and quality model was used to simulate leachate production and transport through the foundation considering a range of foundation soil characteristics and contaminant properties. The model results were used to develop predictive equations of contaminant attenuation and travel time in the foundation soils. When used with equations to predict dispersion in the aquifer, contaminant exposures at receptor locations can be predicted, which is essential in leachate screening applications. The approach does not consider degradation or permanent sequestration of contaminants. Therefore, the procedure is conservative in that it may overestimate actual leachate concentrations and underestimate actual travel times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This research investigated the release of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from spiked materials using thermal desorption mass spectrometry. Experimental methods were developed to obtain real-time PAH desorption data through use of a thermal program desorption probe. Data analysis techniques were investigated to explore the thermal desorption profiles of milligram-size samples. Peak temperatures of desorption were observed to vary among PAHs and among sorbents. For the same absorbent, peak temperatures increased with an increase of PAH molecular weights. For the same PAH, peak temperatures increased as the sorbent varied from sand to alumina to XAD-4 to kaolin. These results have been interpreted in terms of a combined model that include both an activation energy and a desorption/volatilization rate coefficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - 1. We predicted that zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas), genetic structure in the Mississippi River would follow a model of invasive species genetics, which predicts low genetic structure among populations of recently established species. This prediction was upheld in our previous genetic study using allozymes, however, one locus yielded anomalous results. 2. We employed amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis as a neutral marker to assess the amount of genetic structure within and among populations, and as a test of expected population structure from both invasion genetic theory, and the results from our previous study. 3. There was greater spatial differentiation, as measured by Fst, observed using AFLP's than for allozymes (P < 0.001). There was no evidence that AFLP variation conformed to an isolation by distance model, and genetic relationships of populations, as measured by AFLP markers, were not similar to those detected in our allozyme survey. 4. The lack of concordance between these two genetic marker systems probably reflects their differential responses to drift, migration, and selection occurring during this rapid invasion. Strong population structure is counter to predictions that populations of invasive species will not be differentiated, as with observations based on allozyme markers. Therefore, newly established species may require genetic surveys using multiple marker systems to evaluate population structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sulfur mustard[bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide, SM] is a chemical warfare agent that penetrates the skin rapidly and causes extensive blistering. Using the mouse ear vesicant model(MEVM), we evaluated the effect of topically applied anti-inflammatory agents(octyl homovanillamide and heptyl isovanillamide) on ear edema formation and gene expression following SM exposure. Relative ear weight and real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction of GM-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-6 were used to evaluate the effects of octyl homovanillamide and heptyl isovanillamide. Both vanilloids significantly reduced SM-induced edema. At the single dose and number of animals/group tested, octyl homovanillamide produced a trend of reduced mRNA levels; however, the reduction was not significant for GM-CSF, IL-1β, or IL-6. Heptyl isovanillamide significantly reduced(p ≤ 0.05) GM-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-6 mRNA levels. These results show that octyl homovanillamide and heptyl isovanillamide reduce skin edema and heptyl isovanillamide significantly reduced cytokine mRNA expression following SM exposure. In addition to measuring edema formation, monitoring expression of biomarkers such as GM-CSF, IL-1β, and IL-6 may also serve to evaluate therapeutic treatments against SM-induced dermal injury.

AB - Devils Lake in northeastern North Dakota (USA) is a terminal lake of glacial origin with a substantial sulfate content. Since 1940, the lake water level has risen over 13.5m and salinity has decreased. Devils Lake consists of a series of interconnected basins with sulfate concentration increasing in an eastward direction from 450mg/l in West Bay to 3000mg/l in East Devils Lake. Using sulfate as a tracer and linking measurements of specific conductance with observed time series of water surface elevations, wind, and water velocity, this paper illustrates the magnitude and dynamics of mass transport and exchange processes between the multiple basins of Devils Lake. Measurements show small horizontal salinity gradients within the lake basins, but large salinity gradients in some of the exchange zones connecting basins. Vertical salinity gradients were observed in small basins and near exchange zones with strong horizontal salinity differentials. These instances of vertical stratification were associated with buoyancy driven exchange flows and wind sheltering. Exchange flow velocities between selected basins were correlated with wind direction and speed. Interbasin exchange flows were found to reverse direction frequently in response to the prevailing wind direction. Flow direction frequencies in one specific exchange zone were 31% west to east, 48% east to west, and 21% bidirectional (stratified). At the lake level observed in 2000, time averaged, measured interbasin exchange flow rates were 30--40m3/s compared to tributary inflow rates to the lake of 3--9m3/s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We investigated the inhibitory effect of stinging nettle leaf extract on the protease activity of botulinum neurotoxin type A and B light chains. The nettle leaf infusion was fractionated and HPLC-based enzymatic assays were performed to determine the capacity of each fraction to inhibit the protease activity of botulinum neurotoxin type A and B light chains. Assay results demonstrated that a water-soluble fraction obtained from the nettle leaf infusion inhibited type A, but did not inhibit type B light chain protease activity. The inhibition mode of water soluble fraction against protease activity of type A light chain was analyzed and found to be a non-competitive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - To determine how elevation affects the sublimation rate from intercepted snow within a subalpine forest canopy, a cut subalpine fir and an artificial conifer were weighed at each of two elevations (3230 and 2920 m) at a U.S. continental site (39°53′N, 105°54′W) from 1 January to 1 May 2001. Measured stand characteristics included canopy density (67% and 75%) and basal area (43.4 and 24.1 m2 ha-1) for the higher and lower elevations, respectively. Temperature, relative humidity, net radiation, wind speed, and mass of snow on suspended trees provided data to determine whether sublimation rates of intercepted snow are more rapid at higher elevations associated with increased wind speed. Measurements showed the unexpected result that wind speed during sublimation periods was lower at higher elevations, probably because of terrain sheltering. The analysis examined 21 storm-free periods ranging in duration from 9 to 53 h. Sublimation rates per unit mass of intercepted snow were significantly larger at the lower-elevation site associated with warmer temperatures, lower relative humidity, and greater wind speeds. Application of meteorological data to an ice sphere model indicated that predicted mean sublimation rates of an ice sphere index were 23% ± 7% more rapid at the lower elevation due to weather factors alone. However, greater snowfall at higher elevations produced greater interception, resulting in substantially more snow being sublimated back to the atmosphere at the upper site. Over the study period, sublimation of snow intercepted by the test trees amounted to 20%–30% of total snowfall accumulated at the sites during the 21 storms selected for analysis.

AB - This study investigates the dependence of net radiation at snow surfaces under forest canopies on the overlying canopy density. The daily sum of positive values of net radiation is used as an index of the snowmelt rate. Canopy cover is represented in terms of shortwave transmissivity and sky-view factor. The cases studied are a spruce forest in the Wolf Creek basin, Yukon Territory, Canada, and a pine forest near Fraser, Colorado. Of particular interest are the atmospheric conditions that favor an offset between shortwave energy attenuation and longwave irradiance enhancement by the canopy, such that net radiation does not decrease with increasing forest density. Such an offset is favored in dry climates and at high altitudes, where atmospheric emissivities are low, and in early spring when snow albedos are high and solar elevations are low. For low snow albedos, a steady decrease in snowmelt energy with increasing canopy cover is found, up to a forest density close to the actual densities of mature spruce forests. Snowmelt rates for high albedos are either insensitive or increase with increasing canopy cover. At both sites, foliage area indices close to 2 are associated with a minimum in net radiation, independent of snow albedo or cloud cover. However, these results are more uncertain for open forests because solar heating of trees may invalidate the longwave assumptions, increasing the longwave irradiance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In this study, an uncertainty analysis procedure for joint sequential simulation of multiple attributes of spatially explicit models used in geographical informational systems was developed based on regression analysis. This procedure utilizes information obtained from joint sequential simulation to establish the relationship between model uncertainty and variation of model inputs. Using this procedure, model variance can be partitioned by model input parameters on a cell by cell basis. In the partitioning, the correlation of neighboring cells is accounted for. With traditional uncertainty analysis methods, this is not possible. In a case study, spatial variation of soil erodibility from a joint sequential simulation of soil properties was analyzed. The results showed that the regression approach is a very effective method in the analysis of the relationship between variation of the model output and model input parameters. It was also shown for the case study that: (1) the uncertainty of soil erodibility of a cell is mainly propagated from its own soil properties; (2) the interactions of soil properties of neighboring cells could reduce uncertainty of soil erodibility; (3) it is sufficient for uncertainty analysis to include the nearest three neighboring cell groups; and (4) the largest uncertainty contributors vary by soil properties and location.

AB - Wave transformation in the region of Cape Fear. NC, is investigated through field measurements and application of the numerical spectral wave model STWAVE. Field data on offshore and nearshore directional waves, high-resolution bathymetry, tide, and wind were collected starting in the fall of 2000, The applicability of using offshore gauge data as input along the model boundary was evaluated by additional modeling on a coarse grid extending seaward beyond the influence of irregular shelf bathymetry. Model evaluation is presented based on three storm events. For nearshore model and gauge results paired in time, the root-mean-square error in wave height is 0.2-0.5 m and in wave direction is 14-24 deg. The relative importance of accurate bathymetry, tide, wind, nonlinear wave-wave interactions, and spectral shape (measured versus parameterized) are examined with model sensitivity studies. Impacts on potential longshore transport computations are also considered. High-resolution bathymetry is found to be most significant in reducing model versus gauge differences. Use of parametric input spectra gave comparable results to input of measured two-dimensional spectra for the selected storms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Many contaminated sediments and dredged material mixtures of cohesive and non-cohesive sediments occur in wavedominated environments. In-situ analysis is imperative in understanding the erosion and transport of these sediments. Recent research efforts have developed a flume with unidirectional flow that can measure in-situ sediment erosion with depth (SEDflume). However, the flow regime for the SEDflume has limited applicability to wave-dominated environments. Therefore, a unique device, called the SEAWOLF flume, was developed and used by Sandia National Laboratories to simulate high-shear stress erosion processes experienced in coastal waters where wave forcing dominates the system. The SEAWOLF is capable of testing in-situ or laboratory prepared cores. Erosion rates of cohesive and non-cohesive sediments prepared in the laboratory were determined in oscillatory and combined oscillatory and linear flow regimes. Results of these tests were compared to results from the unidirectional SEDflume. Although maximum shear stresses for oscillatory flows were as high as 7 Pa for the tests, the associated erosion rate for specific sediment over the entire wave cycle were comparable to much lower shear stresses found for constant, linear flows. For example, sediment exposed to a maximum of 7 Pa over a 15 s period resulted in erosion rates similar to results for a constant linear shear stress of 3.4 Pa. Analysis of results for all sediments tested led to a determination of values for an effective shear stress that relates wave-induced erosion to linear flow induced erosion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The use of radar-based precipitation is investigated for possible improvement of spatially lumped continuous hydrologic modeling in two subbasins of the Cumberland River basin in Middle Tennessee. Hydrologic predictions of streamflow at the outlets of the subbasins are obtained using HEC-HMS and two precipitation inputs, Stage III radar-derived and gauge-only data. Model performance with each precipitation input is assessed by comparing predicted and measured streamflow at each subbasin outlet and calculating streamflow volume bias, root mean square difference, mean normalized peak error, and mean peak timing error. The results indicate that the Stage III precipitation suffers from systematic underestimation at both the point and subbasin scales and cannot be completely offset by model recalibration. Simulations driven by both the Stage III and gauge-only data periodically failed to reproduce observed flood peaks in both subbasins. But Stage III simulations are generally less accurate in prediction of streamflow volume as compared to gauge-only simulations and, although comparable to the gauge-only simulations in predicting the magnitude and time to peak, offer no apparent improvement in predicting these quantities either.

AB - We tested for competition between pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) and chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) originating from rivers in the Puget Sound area using coded-wire-tagged subyearling hatchery chinook salmon. Following a 2-year life cycle, many juvenile pink salmon enter Puget Sound in even-numbered years, whereas few migrate during odd-numbered years. During 1984–1997, juvenile chinook salmon released during even-numbered years experienced 59% lower survival than those released during odd-numbered years, a trend consistent among 13 chinook salmon stocks. Lower even-numbered-year survival of chinook salmon was associated with reduced first-year growth and survival and delayed maturation. In contrast, chinook salmon released into coastal streams, where few pink salmon occur, did not exhibit an alternating-year pattern of survival, suggesting that the interaction occurred within Puget Sound and the lower Strait of Georgia. Unexpectedly, the survival pattern of Puget Sound chinook salmon was reversed prior to the 1982–1983 El Niño: chinook salmon survival was higher when they migrated with juvenile pink salmon during 1972–1983. We hypothesize that chinook salmon survival changed as a result of a shift from predation- to competition-based mortality in response to recent declines in predator and prey abundances and increases in pink salmon abundance. Alternating-year mortality accounted for most of the 50% decline in marine survival of chinook salmon between 1972–1983 and 1984–1997. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - Nous avons évalué la compétition entre les saumons quinnat (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) et les saumons roses (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) provenant des rivières de la région du Puget Sound en utilizant des saumons quinnat de pisciculture âgés de moins d'un an et marqués avec des fils de fer codés. Après 2 ans de leur cycle, de nombreux jeunes saumons roses se déplacent vers le Puget Sound les années paires, mais peu le font les années impaires. En 1984–1997, les jeunes saumons quinnat relâchés durant les années paires ont connu une survie de 59 % inférieure à ceux qui ont été relâchés les années impaires et la tendance s'est maintenue dans 13 stocks de saumons quinnat. La survie réduite les années paires est associée avec une diminution de la croissance et de la survie la première année et une maturation retardée. En revanche, les saumons quinnat relâchés dans les cours d'eau côtiers, où il y a peu de saumons roses, n'ont pas expérimenté cette alternance d'une année à l'autre dans la survie, ce qui laisse croire que l'interaction se produit dans le Puget Sound ou le détroit de Géorgie inférieur. De façon inattendue, le pattern de survie des saumons quinnat de Puget Sound a été inversé avant l'El Niño de 1982–1983, alors que leur survie était plus élevée lorsqu'ils migraient en compagnie des saumons roses en 1972–1983. Notre hypothèse veut que la survie des saumons quinnat ait changé d'un contrôle de la mortalité par la prédation à un contrôle par la compétition en réaction au déclin récent des abondances de prédateurs et de proies et l'augmentation de l'abondance des saumons roses. La mortalité à tous les deux ans explique la plus grande partie du déclin de la survie en mer des saumons quinnat entre les périodes 1972–1983 et 1984–1997.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Solid phase microextraction fibers are useful for investigating bioavailable organic contaminants in complex environmental matrixes such as aquatic sediments. Solid phase microextraction fibers are polymer-coated silica fibers that sorb dissolved organic compounds from water and sediment. We investigated their concentrations as measures of exposure for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and its degradation products in acute sediment and water-only toxicity tests with Tubifex tubifex, Chironomus tentans, and Ceriodaphnia dubia. Results from these exposures allowed us to compare solid phase microextraction fibers concentrations to two conventional measures of toxicant dose: external matrix (water, sediment) and internal (organism) concentrations. Because trinitrotoluene degrades within sediment and organisms, doses based on sediment, water, and organism concentrations were calculated using the molar sum of trinitrotoluene and its nitroaromatic degradation products. Among species and matrixes, median lethal doses based on solid phase microextraction fiber and organism concentrations ranged from 12.6 to 55.3 (μmol nitroaromatic per ml polyacrylate and 83.4 to 172.3 nmol nitroaromatic per gram tissue, wet weight, respectively. In contrast to matrix concentrations, which are specific to sediment or water, both organism and solid phase microextraction fiber concentrations appeared to provide measures of dose independent of exposure scenario (sediment or water). Median lethal doses based on fiber concentrations in whole-sediment and water-only Tubifex tubifex toxicity tests were within a factor of 1.1 (18.7 and 21.3 (μmol nitroaromatic per ml polyacrylate, respectively). Median lethal doses based on organism concentrations were within a factor 1.4 for Chironomus tentans exposed in water-only or whole-sediment scenarios (118.0 and 83.4 nmol nitroaromatic per gram tissue, wet weight, respectively). Solid phase microextraction fibers may provide a powerful chemical estimate of exposure with which to understand bioavailability and toxicity of organic compounds to benthic organisms.

AB - Management of contaminated sediments has focused predominately on chemical agents, overshadowing risks posed by pathogenic microorganisms. Current accepted bacterial indicator methods do not provide defensible data with respect to the occurrence and types of pathogens in sediments. In an effort to adapt new defensible methods for assessing the risk posed by pathogens in sediments, we evaluated the sensitivity of a commercially available real-time polymerase chain reaction TaqMan¯Escherichia coli 0157:H7detection kit. The lower limit of linear quantitation of this assay was experimentally determined in sediment and sediment extract samples spiked with known amounts of E. coli 0157:H7 DNA. Parallel control experiments were conducted in pure water samples spiked with known amounts of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 DNA. The lower limit of quantification of the TaqMan¯assay was 1000 colony forming units when interrogating 100 mg sediment samples. In contrast, the assay was 20-fold more sensitive with a lower limit of quantification of 50 colony forming units in pure water and sediment extract samples. These results suggest that the sensitivity of the TaqMan¯Escherichia coli 0157:H7detection kit is more dependent on recovery of the desired target from the sediment matrix than efficiency of polymerase chain reaction amplification. The potential human health risk associated with the lower limit of quantification of the TaqMan¯assay in the spiked sediment samples was estimated using a Beta-Poisson dose-response model. Using this approach, lower limit values corresponded to exposure levels of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 that meet United States Environmental Protection Agency accepted illness rates for recreational swimming.

AB - A screening model called the South Florida Systems Analysis Model (SFSAM) was developed to support the Central and South Florida Project Comprehensive Review Study (Restudy). The objective of the Restudy, performed by the Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District, was to recommend a plan for improving environmental quality and urban and agricultural water supply reliability affected by the Central and South Florida water management project. As a “modeler’s model,” SFSAM was limited in scope and was used primarily to assist analysts in the development of alternatives. Additionally, model results provided some insights to operating strategies that could be tested and refined through more detailed modeling of the alternatives. This review of SFSAM includes a brief overview of the Central and South Florida project, a description of the model formulation, some interesting technical challenges faced in modeling the system, and representative and interesting results from the model application.

AB - We developed and applied a suite of risk-based methods for characterizing the contaminant potentials from a former munitions plant in East Texas. The site was originally "clean closed" when a subsequent groundwater monitoring program disclosed areas of contamination by the chlorinated solvent, trichloroethylene (TCE) and others. As part of an overall decision model developed for the site, a series of probability-based mathematical and statistical models were developed to address off-site contamination and plume configuration. As with most historic hazardous waste sites, there was virtually no information relative to contaminant loading rates to the water table aquifer. These loads were reconstructed by comparing the results generated from a Monte Carlo-based technique which linked the vadose and saturated zone models to minimal groundwater data previously collected. The contaminant flux in the aquifer was assumed to coincide with activities at the munitions plants peaking as the plant was decommissioned and tailing off through subsequent years. This curve followed the classic boundary condition where the contaminant source is terminated after a period of flux into the aquifer. Comparisons between simulated data and the site activity curve indicated that the peak of the contamination had occurred before the monitoring program was initiated, generally matching concentrations along the recession limb. Probabilistic transport modeling through the water table aquifer produced a series of statistical distributions of off-site contamination. These curves further corroborated the observation that peak contamination at this site had occurred before the monitoring data were collected. A Bayesian updating technique was applied to compare the revised probabilities associated with various management alternatives and a conditional simulation was completed to define the plume configuration with some statistical confidence.

AB - The slow reaction between peroxodisulfate and formate is significantly accelerated by ascorbate at room temperature. The products of this induced oxidation, CO2 and oxalate (C2O2–4), were analyzed by several methods and the kinetics of this reaction were measured. The overall mechanism involves free radical species. Ascorbate reacts with peroxodisulfate to initiate production of the sulfate radical ion (SO•–4), which reacts with formate to produce carbon dioxide radical ion (CO•–2) and sulfate. The carbon dioxide radical reacts with peroxodisulfate to form CO2 or self-combines to form oxalate. Competition occurring between these two processes determines the overall fate of the carbon dioxide radical species. As pH decreases, protonation of the carbon dioxide radical ion tends to favor production of CO2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Contaminated dredged material is often placed in confined disposal facilities (CDFs) designed and operated to control environmental impacts of the disposed sediment. A CDF is a diked enclosure having structures that retain dredged material solids. When contaminated dredged material is placed in a CDF, contaminants may be mobilized to form leachate that may be transported to the site boundaries by seepage. The purpose of this research is to examine the components of steady-state leachate attenuation in aquifers and to develop a predictive screening tool. The main factors affecting leachate transport and dilution through the saturated zone of an aquifer are evaluated to develop a guidance procedure to assist in decision making regarding the use of leachate controls in the CDF. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys’ MULTIMED model is used to develop predictive equations for the effects of recharge and lateral and vertical dispersion processes on centerline concentrations in the aquifer. The results show that the effects of these processes can be predicted independently. Relationships were developed to estimate the attenuation factor for each process.

AB - In a case study of Lake Ogallala, a reservoir in central Nebraska, large scale particle tracking velocimetry (LSPTV) is used to measure surface velocities in a physical model of the lake. Knowledge of flow patterns in the lake is essential for predicting the transport of dissolved oxygen (DO). A preliminary comparison with acoustic Doppler velocimetery (ADV) measurements shows that both LSPTV and large scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) accurately measure surface velocities. In the present study, LSPTV works better near flow boundaries and in regions with high velocity gradients since smaller sampling areas are possible, and unlike LSPIV measurements, LSPTV measurements are unbiased. Discharges measured at eight different transects using LSPTV were within 6% of the discharge measured with an orifice, the worst correlation occurring where the bathymetry was slightly nonuniform (making application of the 1/7-power law suspect). In the prototype, DO content periodically drops to unacceptable levels throughout most of the Keystone Basin (a subbasin of Lake Ogallala). Predicted flow patterns suggest that low DO problems are exacerbated in regions with low velocities since oxygen consumed by macrophytes during nighttime hours is not quickly replenished.

AB - We evaluated patterns of denitrification and factors effecting denitrification in the upper Mississippi River. Measurements were taken over 2 years, during which river discharge ranged from record flooding to base flow conditions. Over the period of study, average denitrification enzyme activity was highest in backwater lakes and lowest in the main channel. Throughout the study reach, highest denitrification enzyme activity occurred during fall and lowest occurred in winter. Rates during spring floods (2001) were only slightly higher than during the preceding winter. Mean unamended denitrification rates ranged from 0.02 (fall 2001 in backwaters) to 0.40 µg N·cm–2·h–1 (spring 2001 in backwaters). Laboratory experiments showed that denitrification rates increased significantly with addition of NO3– regardless of sediment C content, while rates increased little with addition of labile C (glucose). Denitrification in this reach of the upper Mississippi River appears to be NO3– limited throughout the growing season and the delivery of NO3– is strongly controlled by river discharge and hydrologic connectivity across the floodplain. We estimate that denitrification removes 6939 t N·year–1 or 6.9% of the total annual NO3– input to the reach. Hydrologic connectivity and resultant NO3– delivery to high-C sediments is a critical determinant of reach-scale processing of N in this floodplain system. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - Nous avons évalué les patterns de dénitrification et les facteurs qui opèrent la dénitrification dans le Mississippi supérieur. Les mesures ont été réalisées sur 2 années, pendant lesquelles le débit de la rivière a varié d'inondations record à des conditions d'étiage. Durant la période d'étude, l'activité enzymatique moyenne de dénitrification était maximale dans les lacs de la plaine de débordement et minimale dans le chenal principal. Dans toute la zone d'étude, les valeurs maximales de l'activité enzymatique moyenne de dénitrification ont été mesurées à l'automne et les valeurs minimales en hiver. Les taux durant les inondations du printemps (2001) étaient tout juste un peu plus élevés que l'hiver précédent. Les taux moyens non corrigés de dénitrification variaient de 0,02 (automne 2001 dans des eaux de la plaine de débordement) à 0,40 µg N·cm–2·h–1 (printemps dans des eaux de la plaine de débordement). Des expériences en laboratoire montrent que les taux de dénitrification augmentent de façon significative après l'addition de NO3–, quel que soit le contenu des sédiments en C; ces taux augmentent peu après l'addition de C labile (glucose). La dénitrification dans cette section du Mississippi semble être limitée par NO3– durant la saison de croissance et l'apport de NO3– est fortement contrôlé par le débit de la rivière et la connectivité hydrologique à travers la plaine de débordement. Nous estimons que la dénitrification retire 6 939 t N·an–1, soit 6,95 % de l'apport annuel de NO3– dans la section. La connectivité hydrologique et l'apport de NO3– aux sédiments riches en C qui en résulte sont des facteurs déterminants essentiels du traitement de l'azote à l'échelle de la section dans ce système de plaine de débordement.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The present study proposes a method for predicting stresses in pavements under vehicular loadings. The proposed method characterizes each pavement layer by a coefficient of lateral stress, which is similar to the commonly used coefficient of lateral earth pressure (K). Stress predictions found by the proposed method are compared with stress predictions calculated by conventional linear elastic techniques. Each conventional solution is shown to represent a special case of the more global proposed solution. Several instrumented test sections are explored to determine coefficients of lateral stress for common paving materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The objective of this research was to investigate a sequentially loaded and regenerated granular activated carbon (GAC) biofilter system and to determine whether regenerative ozonation/advanced oxidation could improve the removal and biodegradation of a volatile organic compound from a contaminated airstream. Bench-scale reactors were constructed to operate in a manner analogous to a commercially available system manufactured by Terr-Aqua Environmental Systems (only with longer contact time). The GAC system consisted of two GAC biofilter beds that operated in a cyclical manner. On a given day, the first GAC bed adsorbed methyl isobutyl ketone from a simulated waste airstream, while the second bed underwent regeneration; then on the next day, the second bed was in the adsorption mode while the first was regenerated. Three bench-scale systems were used to compare the performance under three operating conditions: (1) ozone/ associated oxidant regeneration of a GAC biofilter system that was seeded with microorganisms from a field site, (2) a humid air regeneration of a seeded GAC biofilter, and (3) a humid air regeneration of an unseeded GAC biofilter. For the advanced oxidant regenerated GAC biofilter, a maximum removal efficiency of >95% was achieved with an empty bed contact time of 148 sec and an influent concentration of 125 ppm methyl isobutyl ketone, and 90-95% was achieved at 148-sec empty bed contact time and a 1150-ppm influent.

AB - The von Kármán spectra of turbulent temperature and velocity fluctuations have been widely used in the literature on turbulence and electromagnetic, seismic, and acoustic wave propagation in random media. In this paper we provide a phenomenological motivation for the von Kármán velocity spectrum in terms of the quasi-wavelet model of turbulence developed recently. In this model, turbulence is represented as a superposition of self-similar localized eddies of many different scales. We find a functional form for these eddies that yields the von Kármán velocity spectrum exactly. We also show that other eddy functions produce velocity spectra that have the same general form as the von Kármán spectrum, and we consider possible quasi-wavelet representations of the `Kansas' spectrum and the `-1' spectrum. We also present a systematic determination, based on turbulence similarity theories, of the parameters of the von Kármán spectra of temperature and velocity fluctuations in an unstable atmospheric boundary layer.

AB - Since a comprehensive fish survey in 1968, four impoundments have been constructed in the Bear Creek (Tennessee River drainage) watershed in Alabama (Wall 1968). Data from this original study were compared to a recent survey in order to determine if any changes in fish species composition had occurred during the approximately 30 year time period. A comparison of similarity for 44 collections showed low similarity between the two surveys for a large percentage of sites visited (86% for Jaccard's Similarity and 62% for Morisita Similarity). Sites with low similarity between survey dates were typically associated with impoundments. Most species missing in the recent survey include species considered sensitive, such as cyprinids and percids. Species that have increased since 1968 include centrarchids, a group typically tolerant of impoundment and environmental change. Virtually all fish species composition differences indicate a less pristine fish assemblage in the more contemporary survey, suggesting that recent factors have had a negative effect on the fish assemblage of Bear Creek.

AB - To assess the potential for enhancing an existing stand of native perennial grasses on a California Coast Range Grassland site, we experimentally manipulated the seasonal timing and presence of grazing for 3 years (1994 through 1996) and of autumn burning for 2 years (1994 and 1995) and measured species cover for 6 years (1993 through 1998). We subjected the species matrix to classification (TWINSPAN) and ordination (CCA) and tested the ordination site scores as well as diversity indices with linear mixed effects models. Four distinct plant community groups emerged from the classification. Two of these were dominated by annual grasses and two by perennial grasses. No treatment effects were observed on diversity. For composition, temporal and spatial random effects were important mixed effects model parameters, as was the fixed effect covariate, pre-treatment CCA site score, indicating the importance of random environmental variation and initial starting conditions. Incorporation of these random effects and initial condition terms made for more powerful tests of the fixed effects, grazing season, and burning. We found no significant burning effects. Grazing removal imparted a shift in plant community from more annual-dominated toward more perennial-dominated vegetation. Individual perennial grass species responded differently according to genus and species. Nassella spp. increased gradually over time regardless of grazing treatment. Nassella pulchra (purple needlegrass) increase was greatest under spring grazing and N. lepida (foothill needlegrass) was greatest with grazing removal. Danthonia californica (California oatgrass) had little response over time under seasonal grazing treatments, but increased with grazing removal. Under relatively mesic weather conditions it appears that grazing removal from Coast Range Grasslands with existing native perennial grass populations can increase their cover. However if N. pulchra is the sole existing population, spring season-restricted grazing should be equally effective at enhancing cover of the native grass species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In winds approaching hurricane strength, spray droplets proliferate. Once created, these droplets accelerate to the local wind speed in 1 s or less and thereby extract momentum from the wind. Because these droplets have substantial mass, they eventually plunge back into the ocean, delivering their horizontal momentum to the surface in the form of a spray stress. Inadequate information on the production rate and size distribution of spray droplets, however, hampered previous attempts to estimate the magnitude of this spray-mediated momentum exchange. This paper therefore uses recent estimates of the spray generation function to reconsider spray's ability to alter airsea momentum exchange. Conservation of momentum requires that spray cannot enhance the airsea stress beyond what the large-scale flow dictates. However, spray can redistribute stress in the near-surface atmosphere since the wind must slow if the spray droplets accelerate. For a wind of 30 m s&sup-1;, spray supports about 10% of the surface stress; for a wind of about 60 m s&sup-1;, spray supports all of the surface stress. The paper goes on to show how this partitioning affects the near-surface wind speed profile. Last, the paper reviews evidence that suggests the sea surface undergoes a transition in its aerodynamic behavior in the wind speed range 30–40 m s&sup-1;. The fact that whitecap coverage extrapolates to 100% in this range may be one cause. Also in this range, the ‘rain’ of spray droplets back onto the sea surface creates a mass flux with a magnitude that has been shown to damp the short waves that sustain most of the atmospheric drag on the sea surface. As a consequence, spray may play a key role in a negative feedback loop that limits airsea momentum transfer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A group of subjects with a large range of facial characteristics was asked to breathe deeply while wearing a full facepiece respirator. The facial characteristics noted were head length, head depth, bizygomatic breadth, lip length, and Menton- Sellion length. External resistances to inhalation or exhalation were varied in each of the trials. The data collected were analyzed for possible correlation between facial characteristics and breathing resistance. Although respirator resistances were found to vary, no statistically significant correlation was found with anthropometric measurements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In May 2003, the World Health Organization received reports about a possible outbreak of a hemorrhagic disease of unknown cause in the Imatong Mountains of southern Sudan. Laboratory investigations were conducted on 28 serum samples collected from patients in the Imatong region. Serum samples from 13 patients were positive for immunoglobulin M antibody to flavivirus, and serum samples from 5 patients were positive by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction with both the genus Flavivirus-reactive primers and yellow fever virus-specific primers. Nucleotide sequencing of the amplicons obtained with the genus Flavivirus oligonucleotide primers confirmed yellow fever virus as the etiologic agent. Isolation attempts in newborn mice and Vero cells from the samples yielded virus isolates from five patients. Rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis enabled an interagency emergency task force to initiate a targeted vaccination campaign to control the outbreak. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Diminished clarity has been listed as a water quality impairment in Chesapeake Bay. The CE-QUAL-ICM eutrophication model has been revised and recalibrated to provide management guidance in alleviating impaired clarity. The algorithms used to model light attenuation and suspended solids are presented herein. Computed and observed total and volatile solids and light attenuation are examined in several formats. A solids budget constructed for the bay identifies major solids sources as internal production, bank erosion, and watershed loading. Sensitivity to loading sources and a key management scenario are examined. Major but feasible reductions in solids and nutrient loads, coupled with reductions in bank erosion, are calculated to meet clarity goals at the 1-m depth in the main bay and major eastern embayments. Careful examination of model results at small scales is required to verify large-scale findings, however. We recommend major improvements in monitoring, computation of light attenuation, and in sediment transport modeling to improve the state of the art in modeling and management of water clarity.

AB - Eggleton MA, Miranda LE, Kirk JP. Assessing the potential for fish predation to impact zebra mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha): insight from bioenergetics models. Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2004: 13: 85–95. © Blackwell Munksgaard, 2004 Rates of annual food consumption and biomass were modeled for several fish species across representative rivers and lakes in eastern North America. Results were combined to assess the relative potential of fish predation to impact zebra mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha). Predicted annual food consumption by fishes in southern waters was over 100% greater than that in northern systems because of warmer annual water temperatures and presumed increases in metabolic demand. Although generally increasing with latitude, biomasses of several key zebra mussel fish predators did not change significantly across latitudes. Biomasses of some less abundant fish predators did increase significantly with latitude, but increases were not of the magnitude to offset predicted decreases in food consumption. Our results generally support the premise that fishes in rivers and lakes of the southern United States (U.S.) have inherently greater potential to impact zebra mussels by predation. Our simulations may provide a partial explanation of why zebra mussel invasions have not been as rapid and widespread in southern U.S. waters compared to the Great Lakes region.

AB - The research reported herein presents the results of an empirical evaluation that focused on the accuracy and reliability of cognitive models created using a computerized tool: the cognitive analysis tool for human-computer interaction (CAT-HCI). A sample of participants, expert in interacting with a newly developed tactical display for the U.S. Army's Bradley Fighting Vehicle, individually modeled their knowledge of 4 specific tasks employing the CAT-HCI tool. Measures of the accuracy and consistency of task models created by these task domain experts using the tool were compared with task models created by a double expert. The findings indicated a high degree of consistency and accuracy between the different "single experts" in the task domain in terms of the resultant models generated using the tool. Actual or potential applications of this research include assessing human-computer interaction complexity, determining the productivity of human-computer interfaces, and analyzing an interface design to determine whether methods can be automated.

AB - The development of model parametrization methodologies using geographic information systems is becoming increasingly important in hydrologic modeling applications, especially given the continued trend of comprehensive and readily available geospatial databases. This paper discusses the development of parametrization and calibration methodologies for the 12-parameter soil moisture accounting (SMA) algorithm recently added to the Hydrologic Modeling System (HMS) program by the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District, is considering HMS as a tool for continuous hydrologic simulation in the Cumberland River basin. The study demonstrates that parameters for a complex soil moisture accounting model can be derived from publicly available geographic information system (GIS) databases and that the use of seasonal or multiparameter sets improves model performance. Only one of the seven parameters estimated using GIS databases was varied during model calibration. Parameter values after model calibration, including four parameters estimated using historic streamflow records, deviated from estimated values by an average of 37%. Model performance indicates that the developed parametrization and calibration methodologies work well when applied to the test watershed and should be applicable to other watersheds in the Cumberland River basin.

AB - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is planning navigation improvements for many projects to meet predicted increases in tow traffic. Some of these improvements include the addition or replacement of the navigation lock. Innovative design and construction techniques are being investigated to try and reduce construction costs as well as operation and maintenance costs. The Corps identified that a savings in lock construction could be achieved if the conventional concrete gravity lock walls with culverts inside them could be replaced with thin walls and longitudinal culverts located inside the chamber. This culvert design was designated the In-Chamber Longitudinal Culvert System (ILCS). An extensive research effort led to the development of the ILCS design. This paper provides a brief summary of the research results and the accompanying design guidance developed for low to medium lift ILCS locks. The guidance includes culvert location; port size, location, and spacing; port extensions; culvert-roof overhang; and wall baffles. Lock chamber performance characteristics, based on acceptable filling and emptying operations determined using a laboratory model, are also presented. The ILCS is a feasible design based on the hydraulic performance determined from the investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Studies have demonstrated that benzodiazepine compounds are effective at antagonizing seizure activity produced by the organophosphate (OP) cholinesterase inhibitor soman. In this present study we have investigated the pharmacokinetics of midazolam and its associated effects on electroencephalographic (EEG) activity following intramuscular (im) injection to soman-exposed guinea pigs (Crl:(HA)BR). Prior to experiments, the animals were surgically implanted with EEG leads to monitor seizure activity. For the study, animals were administered the following pretreatment/OP/treatment regimen. Pyridostigmine bromide (0.026 mg/kg, im) was given 30 min prior to soman (56 μg/kg, 2 × LD50; subcutaneously, sc), followed in one minute by atropine sulfate (2 mg/kg, im) and pralidoxime chloride (25 mg/kg, im). All animals receiving this regimen developed seizure activity. Midazolam 0.8 mg/kg, im, was administered 5 mm after onset of seizure activity. Based on EEG data, animals were categorized as either seizure-terminated or seizure not-terminated at 30 mm following anticonvulsant administration. Serial blood samples were collected for the plasma midazolam analysis; the assay was accomplished with a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer. The mean time to seizure termination was 8.8 ± 1.6 min. The mean time-plasma concentration data were fit to standard pharmacokinetic models. The following parameter estimates were determined from the model-fit for seizure terminated and not-terminated animals respectively: apparent volumes of distribution (Vd) were 1.4 and 1.7 1/kg; area under the time-concentration curves (AUC), 15,990 and 15,120 ng min/ml; times to maximal plasma concentration (Tmax), 1.66 and 2.91 min and maximal plasma concentrations (Cmax) 535.1 and 436.6 ng/ml. These data indicate that im injection of midazolam is effective at terminating ongoing soman-induced seizure activity. Additionally, the relatively short Tmax and latency to seizure termination demonstrate the rapidity of drug absorption and action respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In previous work, we studied the anaerobic biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) by a methanogenic mixed culture that biodegrades RDX by using H2 as the sole electron donor. Strain HAAP-1 was isolated after enriching for the homoacetogens in a mineral medium containing RDX and an H2-CO2 (80:20) headspace. Strain HAAP-1 degraded 29.0 μM RDX in <14 days and formed 13.0 mM acetate when grown in a mineral medium with an H2-CO2 headspace. Methylenedinitramine was observed as a transient intermediate, indicating ring cleavage had occurred. In live cultures containing an N2-CO2 headspace, RDX was not degraded, and no acetate was formed. The 16S rRNA gene sequence for strain HAAP-1, consisting of 1485 base pairs, had a 99.2% and 99.1% sequence similarity to Acetobacterium malicum and A. wieringae, respectively. This is the first report of RDX degradation by a homoacetogen growing autotrophically and extends the number of genera known to carry out this transformation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Since Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) was isolated in Peru in 1942, >70 isolates have been obtained from mosquitoes, humans, and sylvatic mammals primarily in the Amazon region. To investigate genetic relationships among the Peru VEEV isolates and between the Peru isolates and other VEEV strains, a fragment of the PE2 gene was amplified and analyzed by single-stranded conformation polymorphism. Representatives of seven genotypes underwent sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The results identified four VEE complex lineages that cocirculate in the Amazon region: subtypes ID (Panama and Colombia/Venezuela genotypes), IIIC, and a new, proposed subtype IIID, which was isolated from a febrile human, mosquitoes, and spiny rats. Both ID lineages and the IIID subtype are associated with febrile human illness. Most of the subtype ID isolates belonged to the Panama genotype, but the Colombia/Venezuela genotype, which is phylogenetically related to epizootic strains, also continues to circulate in the Amazon basin.

AB - Sulfur mustard (SM) is a blistering agent that produces DNA strand breaks. To detect SM-induced DNA single strand breaks in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), cells were exposed to various concentrations of SM (10 to 1000 μM), and the comet assay (single-cell gel electrophoresis) was performed. We observed a SM concentration- and time-dependent increase in detectable DNA damage. To test whether SM-induced DNA cross-linking inhibits DNA migration in the comet assay, PBL were exposed to a) SM alone (10 to 1000 μM), b) H 2 O 2 (0.001%), which produces DNA single strand breaks with no cross-links, or c) SM followed at 2, 4, or 6 h by H 2 O 2 . With H 2 O 2 alone, a large amount of strand breakage was detected. With H 2 O 2 plus SM, detectable H 2 O 2 -induced strand breaks decreased as SM concentration increased up to 30 μM; at 30 μM and above, the response with H 2 O 2 plus SM was similar to that with SM alone. Interference with the detection of H 2 O 2 -induced DNA strand breaks appears to be SM concentration-dependent up to 30 μM, and independent of SM concentration at ≥30 μM. This is presumably due to SM-induced cross-linking. It follows that cross-linking in DNA of SM-exposed PBL also interferes with DNA migration and detection of DNA strand breaks when cells are exposed to SM alone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An animal dosing model and related maximum tolerated dose (MTD) were developed for repeated exposures in guinea pigs to three organophosphorus chemical warfare nerve agents (CWNA). Male animals were injected subcutaneously with sarin (GB), soman (GD) or VX once a day (Monday through Friday) for 2-, 4-, or 13-weeks. An initial 13-week study for each CWNA employed doses of vehicle (normal saline), 0.2x, 0.4x, 0.6x, and 0.8x the previously established acute LD 50 . A 2-week and 4-week exposure were also performed for each agent at doses less than the 13-week MTD to verify lack of toxicity. Animals dosed daily for 13 weeks with 0.4x LD 50 of GB or GD or with 0.2x LD 50 of VX did not display signs of acute cholinergic toxicity. In animals dosed daily for either 2- or 4-weeks, the MTDs were 0.4x the acute LD 50 for all three CWNA. There were no differences among these groups and their respective vehicle controls for weight gains, body temperature, complete blood cell counts, blood chemistries, nor by histopathology. At the MTD in all groups, red blood cell cholinesterase activity one hour after the last exposure was inhibited up to 90% compared with controls. The toxicity observed with repeated doses above the MTD for up to chronic exposure durations was not significantly different from symptoms observed after acute exposure. For all three nerve agents the MTDs for subacute exposure durations can be expressed by the same constant fraction of the acute LD 50 , despite differences in the absolute amount of nerve agent administered.

AB - An operational mesoscale model–based forecasting system has been developed for use by U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command meteorologists in their support of test-range operations. This paper reports on the adaptation of this system to permit its rapid deployment in support of a variety of civilian and military emergency-response applications. The innovation that allows for this rapid deployment is an intuitive graphical user interface that permits a non-expert to quickly configure the model for a new application, and launch the forecast system to produce operational products without further intervention. The graphical interface is Web based and can be run on a wireless laptop or a personal digital assistant in the field. The instructions for configuring the modeling system are transmitted to a compute engine [generally a personal computer (PC) cluster], and forecast products are placed on a Web site that can be accessed by emergency responders or other forecast users. This system has been used operationally for predicting the potential transport and dispersion of hazardous material during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, and during military operations in Afghanistan. It has also been used operationally to satisfy the rapidly evolving needs of wildfire managers. Continued use of the modeling system by nonexperts will allow developers to refine the graphical interface and make the model and the interface more fault tolerant with respect to the decisions of model users. * The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper presents insights from a comprehensive study of river ice influences on alluvial-channel bathymetry and stability. The study entailed unique wintertime fieldwork along the Fort Peck reach of the Missouri River. The insights show how ice formation, presence, and breakup can influence channel stability in several important ways, especially when channels must convey substantial water flow during winter. Ice may hasten the migration of channel bends, cause transient scour and sediment deposition during winter, and induce cyclic shifts of flow thalweg through sinuous-braided subreaches. The insights are of direct significance for engineering activities along the Missouri’s Fort Peck reach and other alluvial channels subject to frigid winters. They also are significant for understanding the frigid-winter habitat of aquatic life in such channels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - River sediments were experimentally dewatered via exposure to air from an initial moisture content of 75% to 61% (~20% dewatered), 32% (~60% dewatered), and 4% (~95% dewatered). Sediments dewatered by 20% and 60% and rehydrated exhibited a lower exchangeable ammonium-N (NH4-N) concentration and a lower rate of nitrate/nitrite-N and NH4-N release from sediments compared with controls. In contrast, sediments dewatered by 95% and rehydrated exhibited a marked increase in exchangeable sediment NH4-N and a much higher rate of nitrate/nitrite-N (under oxic conditions) and NH4-N (under oxic and anoxic conditions) release from sediments. Sediment dewatered by 60% and 95% and rehydrated lost total N (18%), suggesting denitrification. Growth of Potamogeton pectinatus responded to changes in the exchangeable sediment NH4-N concentration; it was lower on partially dewatered and rehydrated sediments that exhibited lower exchangeable sediment NH4-N and elevated on sediment that was dewatered by 95%. Our results suggest that sediment N may be altered via sediment dewatering and rehydration to affect macrophyte growth. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - Nous avons déshydraté expérimentalement par exposition à l'air des sédiments de rivière dont le contenu initial d'humidité était de 75 % à 61 % (~20 % de déshydratation), 32 % (~60 % de déshydratation et 4 % (~95 % de déshydratation). Les sédiments déshydratés de 20 % et de 60 % et ensuite réhydratés possèdent une concentration réduite d'azote-ammonium (NH4-N) échangeable et un taux de libération réduit d'azote-nitrate/nitrite et de NH4-N par comparaison aux sédiments témoins. En revanche, les sédiments déshydratés de 95 % et ensuite réhydratés affichent un accroissement marqué de NH4-N échangeable dans les sédiments et des taux beaucoup plus élevés de libération d'azote- nitrate/nitrite (en conditions oxiques) et de NH4-N (en conditions oxiques et anoxiques). Les sédiments déshydratés de 60 % et de 95 % et ensuite réhydratés perdent 18 % de leur azote total, ce qui fait croire à une dénitrification. La croissance de Potamogeton pectinatus réagit aux changements de concentrations du NH4-N échangeable dans les sédiments; elle est plus faible dans les sédiments déshydratés puis réhydratés qui possèdent des concentrations plus basses de NH4-N échangeable et plus élevée dans les sédiments déshydratés à 95 %. Nos résultats indiquent que l'azote des sédiments peut être altéré par la déshydratation et la réhydratation de manière à affecter la croissance des macrophytes.[Traduit par la Rédaction] (French) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Butanol, ether, toluene, and hexane, which have Henry's constants ranging from 0.0005 to 53, were used to investigate the effects of substrate solubility or availability on the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in trickle-bed biofilters. Results from this study suggest that, although removal of a VOC generally increases with a decrease in its Henry's constant, an optimal Henry's constant range for biofiltration may exist. For the treatment of VOCs with high Henry's constant values, such as hexane and toluene, the transfer of VOCs between the vapor and liquid phases or between the vapor phase and the biofilm is a rate-determining step. However, oxygen (O2) transfer may become a rate-limiting step in treating VOCs with low Henry's constants, such as butanol, especially at high organic loadings. The results demonstrated that in a gas-phase aerobic biofilter, nitrate can serve both as a growth-controlling nutrient and as an electron acceptor in a biofilm for the respiration of VOCs with low Henry's constants. Microbial communities within the biofilters were examined using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis to provide a more complete picture of the effect of O2 limitation and denitrification on biofilter performance.

AB - We simulated populations of threeridge mussels (Amblema plicata, Say, 1817) using empirically derived survival rates. Survival rates were derived from a mark-recapture study of mussels conducted in the Mississippi and Otter Tail rivers, Minnesota. The software package VORTEX was used to develop a base line population model which changed little or not at all through time. Models based on the initial base line data were constructed to simulate behaviors of A. plicata populations under various levels of mortality attributed to zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha, Pallas 1771) colonizations. Models were also developed that simulated varying levels of commercial harvesting of A. plicata. Sensitivity analysis revealed that A. plicata populations are most sensitive to alterations in adult survival. Adult survival is the life history stage most often impacted by both D. polymorpha colonizations and commercial harvesting. Population models simulating D. polymorpha mediated mortality revealed that population extinction was likely to occur within 50 y if survival rates remain at the levels recently measured. Models that simulated a commercial harvest of only 5% of the adult A. plicata population predicted that populations will decline by almost 50% in only 40 y. Our recommendation is that a concerted effort should be made to estimate the population size of potentially harvested populations of freshwater mussels. These estimates would allow for a more accurate estimate of what percentage of the adult mussels are actually being harvested. The population estimates would also allow for setting of quotas or limiting the number of permits for harvesters in the face of increased D. polymorpha infestations, thereby ensuring that harvested populations of mussels are not being over exploited. These modeling efforts will be useful for resource managers attempting to establish a sustainable harvest of commercially valuable mussel species which may be competing with a nonindigenous spe...

AB - The kinetics and mechanisms associated with the ozonation of 2,6-, 3,4-, and 3,5-dichlorophenols (DCPs) in aqueous solutions were studied. It was found that 2 moles of ozone are required for the initial degradation of 1 mole of DCP. The overall reaction between ozone and a DCP was found to be second order (first order per reactant). The overall reaction rate constants of all three DCPs increased with pH because of increased dissociation of the dichlorophenol molecules to dichlorophenoxide ions. Due to its high dissociation constant, 2,6-DCP is most reactive of the three with ozone with the overall reaction rate constants varying from 1.31×10[sup 5] to 3.36×10[sup 5] M[sup -1] s[sup -1] within the pH range of 2.0–4.0. Various chlorobenzenediols, chlorocyclohexadienediones, ketones, esters, and carboxylic acids were identified as intermediate and final ozonation products using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis. The initial electrophilic addition of ozone at the ortho and para positions of the molecular and ionic forms is proposed as the likely mechanism for DCP ozonation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Chronic erosion of beaches along the eastern Texas barrier island coast is increasingly mitigated by renourishment efforts that periodically place large volumes of sand onshore. Location of beach-quality sands on the inner continental shelf is challenged in an environment where terrestrial rivers deposit fluvial sediments in back bays and lagoons instead of offshore and by shelf areas that are dominated by muds. The search for beach-quality sands thus requires understanding of the coastal geological framework and morphodynamic processes that accompanied late Quaternary evolution in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The occurrence of surficial sand deposits as positive bathymetric features on the seafloor (ridges, shoals, banks) and presence of sands buried in paleovalley (drowned channels) infill sequences makes for complicated search procedures that must accurately differentiate a range of sedimentary settings by geophysical and geotechnical surveys. Compilation of vast amounts of data from historical core logs and newly acquired information in a marine information system (MIS) permits spatial analyses in a format that is compatible with development of a sand search model. The resulting differentiated investigative sand-search methods, that comprise part of the Texas Sand Search Model (TSSM), are able to target potential borrow areas in ebb-tidal shoals, low-relief ridge deposits, high-relief banks, and in mud-covered paleovalley sequences.

AB - The prediction of liquefaction and resulting displacements is a major concern for earth structures located in regions of moderate to high seismicity. Conventional procedures used to assess liquefaction commonly predict the triggering of liquefaction to depths of 50 m or more. Remediation to prevent or curtail liquefaction at these depths can be very expensive. Field experience during past earthquakes indicates that liquefaction has mainly occurred at depths less than about 15 m, and some recent dynamic centrifuge model testing initially appeared to confirm a depth or confining-stress limitation on the occurrence of liquefaction. Such a limitation on liquefaction could greatly reduce remediation costs. In this paper an effective stress numerical modeling procedure is used to assess these centrifuge tests. The results indicate that a lack of complete saturation and densification at depth arising from the application of the high-acceleration field are largely responsible for the apparent limitation on liquefaction at depth observed in some centrifuge tests.

AB - La prédiction de la liquéfaction et des déplacements qui en résultent est une préoccupation majeure pour les structures en terre localisées dans des régions de séismicité moyenne à forte. Les procédures conventionnelles utilisées pour évaluer la liquéfaction prédisent communément le déclenchement de la liquéfaction à des profondeurs de 50 m et plus. Le confortement pour prévenir ou réduire la liquéfaction à ces profondeurs peut coûter très cher. L'expérience sur le terrain durant les derniers séismes indique que la liquéfaction s'est produite principalement à des profondeurs inférieures de moins de 15 m, et des essais dynamiques récents sur modèle en centrifuge ont semblé confirmer une limitation de la profondeur ou de la contrainte de confinement pour la génération de la liquéfaction. Une telle limitation sur la liquéfaction pourrait réduire considérablement les coûts de confortement. Dans cet article, on utilise une procédure de modélisation numérique en contrainte effective pour évaluer les essais de centrifuge. Les résultats indiquent qu'un manque de saturation complète de même qu'une densification à une profondeur résultant de l'application du champ des fortes accélérations sont largement responsables de la limitation apparente sur la liquéfaction en profondeur observée dans certains essais au centrifuge.

AB - In California's Mediterranean type grasslands, native perennial grasses such as Nassella pulchra are surrounded by introduced annual species and these annuals are thought to have displaced natives through much of their range. Amongst other invaders, two grasses Lolium multiflorum and Bromus hordeaceus, commonly dominate portions of the grassland with potential for N. pulchra restoration. We hypothesized that competitor species differences and small-scale gaps (150 cm2) could be important determinants of N. pulchra survival and performance on these sites. Lolium multiflorum and B. hordeaceus were planted in 20 cm diameter circular plots at a constant rate of 1 seed per cm2 surrounding newly transplanted N. pulchra plants. Nassella pulchra showed no significant effect of the species of competitor or from the distribution of the competitors. Both interspersion of patches of bare ground and separation of competitors into patches did not increase N. pulchra pre-dawn water potential, basal area change, number of seeds produced, or average weight of seeds. The presence of L. multiflorum was associated with a decrease in N. pulchra survival compared with plots with only B. hordeaceus. Plants with increases in basal area of less than 0.75 cm2 during the growing season had 74% mortality compared with no mortality in plants with more growth. However, initial N. pulchra plant size was not a good predictor of mortality. Limiting competition from annuals may increase survival of N. pulchra plantings, but 60% of the plants survived for at least 1 year, despite being transplanted into soil containing substantial annual grass seed.

AB - Adsorption isotherms for alkane, aromatic, and ketone vapors were determined for activated carbon fiber cloth, tire-derived activated carbon and coal-derived activated carbon adsorbents. Physical and chemical properties of the vapors and adsorbents were used to interpret these results that were obtained from 20 to 50°C, with a more limited data set at 125 and 175°C and relative pressures between 0 and 0.99. Fitted isotherms using the Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich adsorption models had mean total relative errors <5.6 and 9.2% for the microporous and mesoporous/macroporous adsorbents, respectively, at the temperature range from 20 to 50°C. The predictive direct quantitative structure activity relationship model had mean total relative errors <9.7 and 61% for the microporous and mesoporous/macroporous adsorbents, respectively, at the temperature range from 20 to 50°C without requiring experimental input.

AB - Activated-carbon-fiber cloth (ACFC) is an alternative adsorbent to granular activated carbon (GAC) for removing and recovering organic vapors from gas streams. Electrothermal desorption (ED) of ACFC provides rapid regeneration while requiring less energy compared to traditional regeneration techniques used with GAC. This paper provides proof-of-concept results from a bench-scale ACFC adsorption system. The automated system captured 1,000 ppmv of hazardous air pollutants/volatile organic compounds (HAPs/VOCs) from air streams and demonstrated the use of ED, using ac voltage, to recover the HAP/VOC as a pure liquid. The desorbed HAP/VOC condensed onto the inner walls of the adsorber and was collected at the bottom of the vessel, without the use of ancillary cooling. Seventy percent of the HAP/VOC was collected per cycle as condensate, with the balance being retained in the regenerated adsorber or recycled to the second adsorber. ED with in-vessel condensation results in minimal N[sub 2] consumption and short regeneration cycle times allowing the process to be cost competitive with conventional GAC-based adsorption processes. This technology extends the application of carbon adsorption systems to situations that were previously economically and physically impractical. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An electrothermal-swing adsorption system was demonstrated on the bench scale for capture and recovery of organic vapors from air streams. Methyl propyl ketone (MPK), methyl ethyl ketone, n-hexane, acetone, and methylene chloride were removed and recovered at 200–1,020 ppm[sub v] in a 40.0 slpm air stream while using activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) adsorbent. Removal efficiencies were greater than 99.9%. Liquid recovery fractions increased with increasing relative pressure, ranging from 0.11 for methylene chloride (P/P[sub sat]=2.1×10[sup -3]) to greater than 0.80 for MPK (P/P[sub sat]=2.2×10[sup -2]). The electrical energy consumed during regeneration per mol of liquid organic compound recovered decreased with increasing relative pressure of the inlet gas stream, ranging from 4,698 kJ/mol for methylene chloride to 327 kJ/mol for MPK. Equilibrium ACFC adsorption capacity, throughput ratio, and length of unused bed were also evaluated. These results are encouraging for the development of a new technology to capture and readily recover a wide range of organic vapors from air streams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A hybrid bioreactor, combining an activated sludge process (ASP) and a rotating drum biofilter (RDB), was developed and evaluated for the treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in waste gas streams. The effects of the influent VOC concentration and the organic loading rate on the VOC removal efficiency and on the pattern of biomass accumulation were investigated. Toluene was used as the model VOC, the flow rate of the waste gas stream was 0.59 L/s, and the empty-bed retention time (EBRT) in the ASP portion was 46 s with an actual retention time of about 2 s. The EBRT in the RDB portion was 38 s based on the drum volume. When the VOC feed concentration increased from 221 to 884 mg toluene/m3 (from 57.2 to 229 ppm), correspondingly the organic loading rate of the hybrid bioreactor increased from 1.58 to 6.32 kg chemical oxygen demand/m3/day (from 0.505 to 2.02 kg toluene/m[sup 3]/day) based on the drum volume, both the ASP and RDB decreased, and the overall toluene removal efficiency declined from 99.8 to 74.1%. Biomass accumulation at different medium depths became more even when the organic loading rate was increased. Part of the applied VOC was biodegraded by the ASP, which suggests that this hybrid bioreactor could achieve longer runs between medium cleanings and higher VOC removal efficiencies than a single RDB bioreactor without an ASP portion at the same organic loading rate.

AB - We examined sediment resuspension and light attenuation in relation to the potential for macrophytes to improve water quality conditions in Peoria Lake, Illinois (U.S.A.). The lake exhibited high total suspended solids (TSS) loading and retention of predominantly fine-grained particles in 2000. Large fetches along prevailing wind rose, coupled with shallow morphometry and sediment particles composed of >90% silt and clay resulted in frequent periods of sediment resuspension. As calculated (wave theory) shear stress increased above the critical shear stress (measured experimentally), turbidity increased substantially at a resuspension monitoring station. Resuspension model explorations suggested that establishment of submersed aquatic macrophytes could substantially reduce sediment resuspension in Peoria Lake. However, Kd is currently very high, while Secchi transparency low, at in-lake stations. Thus, in order to establish a persistent macrophyte population in the lake to control resuspension, the underwater light regime will have to improve quite dramatically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We examined the impacts of macrophyte beds dominated by a canopy-forming (Myriophyllum sibiricum) and a meadow-forming (Chara canescens) species on bottom shear stress (τ) and resuspension in shallow Lake Christina, Minnesota (U.S.A.). Studies were conducted in late summer, 1998, when macrophyte biomass levels exceeded 200 g m-2, and in early summer, 2000, when biomass was greatly reduced (<20 g m-2) in both plant beds. The critical shear stress (τc) of sediments, measured experimentally in the laboratory, was low (1.4 dynes cm-2) indicating potential for resuspension in the absence of macrophytes. During 1998, turbidity was low at the M. sibiricum and Chara station, rarely increasing when calculated bottom τ (calculated from wave theory assuming no biomass obstruction) exceeded τsubcsub, indicating that both beds reduced sediment resuspension at high biomass levels. In situ τ (estimated τ), measured via gypsum sphere dissolution, did not exceed τc above the sediment interface in either bed during 1998. In contrast, sediment resuspension occurred in both beds during similar high winds in 2000. However, estimated τ was lower than calculated bottom τ, suggesting that at low biomass, macrophytes were having some impact on τ. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We collided woody debris (i.e., logs) with structures using flume and test basin laboratory facilities to investigate the maximum impact force that floodplain structures are exposed to from floating woody debris. The tests also investigated the influence of collision geometry, determined by the debris orientation on impact, on the maximum impact forces. We reviewed the three approaches that represent the existing guidance for estimating maximum impact forces. Each approach estimates the maximum impact force based on the debris velocity and mass. We show that all the existing approaches can be derived from a single-degree-of-freedom model of the collision and can be considered to be equivalent. The laboratory data show that the maximum impact force was associated with a log striking a rigid structure with its end. Oblique and eccentric collisions reduced the maximum impact load in a predictable and consistent manner. The approach we refer to as “contact stiffness,” a linear, one-degree-of-freedom model with no damping, was able to reproduce the laboratory results over the entire range of data, with an effective contact stiffness of 2.4 MN/m.

AB - A coat of paint adds considerable value to an automobile. In addition to consuming up to 60% of the energy needed by automobile assembly plants, however, the painting process also creates both economic and environmental impacts. This study investigated the degree of cost and environmental impact improvement that can be expected when modifications are considered for existing paint processes through heat integration. In order to accomplish this goal, a mathematical model was created to describe the energy use, costs, and environmental impacts from energy consumption in an automobile assembly painting facility. The model agrees with measured energy consumption data for process heating and electricity demand to within about 15% for one Michigan truck facility from which model input parameters were obtained. Thermal pinch analysis determined an energy conservation target of 58% of paint process energy demand. A heat exchanger network optimization study was conducted in order to determine how closely the network design could achieve this target. The resulting heat exchanger network design was profitable based on a discounted cash flow analysis and may achieve reductions in total corporate energy consumption of up to 16% if implemented corporatewide at a major automobile manufacturer.

AB - Although not well established, mask leakage measured using submicron aerosol challenges is generally accepted as being representative of vapor challenges. The purpose of this study was to compare simulated respirator fit factors (FFs) measured using vapor challenges to those measured using an aerosol challenge. A full-facepiece respirator was mounted on a headform inside a small enclosure and modified with controlled leaks (laser-drilled orifices) to produce FFs ranging from about 300 to 30,000. A breathing machine was used to simulate breathing conditions of 1.0 L tidal volume and 25 breaths/min. A monodisperse aerosol consisting of 0.72 µm polystyrene latex spheres (PSL) was used for the reference test aerosol, and FFs were measured using a laser aerosol spectrometer. An inert gas, sulfur hexafiuoride (SF6), and an organic vapor, isoamyl acetate (IAA), were used as the vapor challenges. The in-mask concentration of SF6 was measured using a gas chromatograph (GC). A GC was also used to quantify in-mask IAA concentration samples actively collected with sorbent tubes. FF measurements made with the PSL aerosol challenge were conducted in sequence with the SF6 and IAA challenges, without disturbing the mask, to yield matched data pairs for regression analysis. FFs measured using the PSL reference aerosol were found to correlate well with those measured with the SF6 (r2 = 0.99) and IAA (r2 = 0.98) vapor challenges. FFs measured using IAA tended to be higher at values below 10,000. The best agreement was observed with the inert gas, SF6. The results of this study suggest that submicron aerosols are suitable as quantitative fit test challenges for assessing the performance of respirators against inert vapors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The determination of whether an activity is performance improvement governed by The Joint Commission standards and local hospital policy or research governed by federal regulation and requiring institutional review board (IRB) review and approval can be complex, especially in academic clinical organizations. Both processes can address scientific validity, fair participant selection, favorable risk-benefit ratio, respect for participants, and independent review. In an attempt to guide staff as to whether their project needs IRB review or not, a performance improvement/research advisory panel (PIRAP) was formed to serve two military organizations, in this article, performance improvement and quality improvement is differentiated from research as much as possible, the composition and function of PIRAP is described, and guidelines for publishing findings that support the nature of the project are provided.

AB - Each year the Operational Support Office of the US National Reconnaissance Office searches for ways to provide better space-reconnaissance information to military and national leaders. We used future value analysis, a combination of three methods to assess future opportunities: (1) a strategic assessment of future opportunities and challenges, (2) a multiple-objective decision analysis using value-focused thinking, and (3) a portfolio analysis using optimization. We then developed a multiple-objective value model to communicate values, evaluate individual tasks, and develop higher value tasks. We used an optimization model to identify the best portfolio of tasks. The office used the models to identify the best tasks for its annual budget in 1998 and, with revisions, in the next two years.

AB - The mouse ear vesicant model (MEVM) is a screening tool used to identify protective compounds against acute sulfur mustard (SM)-induced skin injury. It provides endpoints of edema and histopathology 24 h following a topical SM exposure to assess protection against inflammation and tissue damage. To further evaluate successful compounds, the MEVM was modified for use as a 7-day model. Dose response studies were conducted with SM to select an optimal challenge dose for the new model. Due to severity of SM-induced tissue damage by Day 7, edema and histopathology were determined unreliable endpoints. Therefore, a modified Draize scoring system (no damage to extensive necrosis) was incorporated as an endpoint to evaluate tissue damage out to Day 7. To aid in optimal SM dose selection, retro synthetic capsaicin (RSCAP), a protective compound in the MEVM, was evaluated as a treatment 15 min before exposure to 0.06, 0.08, and 0.16 mg SM. The RSCAP compound provided similar significant protection at Day 7 against the 0.06- (42% reduction) and 0.08-mg doses (32% reduction), but was not effective against the severely necrotizing 0.16-mg SM dose. Based on these results, an optimum SM dose of 0.08 mg was selected. Retro synthetic capsaicin and two pharmacologically inactive analogs were tested as topical treatments 15 min prior to SM challenge. The RSCAP compound significantly reduced injury, whereas the inactive analogs had no protective effect. The RSCAP also significantly reduced SM injury when administered topically 10 min after SM challenge. These data support the use of the 7-day mouse ear vesicant treatment model (MEVTM) in evaluating candidate antivesicant compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A relatively simple, four-parameter extended hyperbolic model for interfaces was developed for use in soil-structure interaction analyses. The model accommodates arbitrary stress path directions and includes three important elements: (1) development of a yield surface during interface shear; (2) a formulation for yield-inducing shear stiffness that is applicable to any stress path orientation; and (3) a formulation for unloading-reloading shear stiffness. The model was evaluated against the results of shear tests performed at the interface between three different types of sand and a concrete surface under a variety of stress paths. Comparisons between measured and calculated interface response indicate that the model provides accurate estimates of the response of sand-to-concrete interfaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In response to the destructive floods of 1983, 1986, 1995, and 1997, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Reclamation Board of the State of California are partnering a study to investigate flood damage reduction and ecosystem restoration opportunities in the Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basins, California. This paper continues presentation of Comprehensive Study methods and details the construction and application of basin-wide reservoir models in support of ongoing system analyses. Discussion emphasizes model development, simulation results with a focus on headwater and major terminal reservoirs, and potential improvements to the flood damage reduction system. Conclusions are drawn regarding the influence of reservoirs in flood hydrology, use of HEC-5 software in flood analyses, and the role of this effort in the Comprehensive Study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The chemical nerve agent sarin (o-isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate) was hydrolyzed at 7.18 eight percent in aqueous sodium hydroxide yielding primarily o-isopropyl methylphosphonic acid (IMPA). This hydrolysate was diluted and fed as sole carbon source to activated sludge in an aerobic sequencing batch reactor. Feed chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations ranged from approximately 2500 mg/L (initial) to 5000 mg/L (final). The reactor was operated essentially on a 15-day hydraulic residence time. Overall COD removal efficiency was 86.2% and the IMPA in the feed was converted to methylphosphonic acid. MICROTOX ® and Daphnia magna aquatic toxicity testing showed the effluent to be of very low toxicity to aquatic test organisms. The final MPA product was effectively absorbed by Phoslock ™, which is a lanthanide modified clay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - An experimental study of sound propagation near the ground in stable, nighttime conditions was performed in conjunction with the Cooperative Atmosphere–Surface Exchange Study-1999 (CASES-99). Low-frequency sound transmissions were continuously recorded at microphones out to a distance of 1.3 km from a loudspeaker during CASES-99 intensive observation periods (IOPs) 6 and 7. Fading episodes in the received signal energy of 10 to 20 dB, lasting several minutes to an hour, were frequently observed. Strong discrete events, such as the density current and solitary wave of IOP 7, were found to have significant effects on acoustical signals, although substantial variability in received sound energy often occurred outside such events. Sound propagation model predictions demonstrate that wind and temperature data from a tall tower, such as the CASES-99 60-m tower, can be used to predict the momentary variations in a 50-Hz sound signal with good success. Tethersonde and rawinsonde data are generally too infrequent to model many of the strong variations present in the signal. The sensitivity of sound waves to changes in nocturnal boundary layer structure could allow development of new remote sensing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Soy protein isolate (SPI) was modified using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl). Adhesion performance of the modified SPI on fiberboard was studied. The Water-soluble mass of the modified SPI adhesives was examined following modified ASTM D5570. The SDS-modified SPI containing 91% protein had a water-soluble mass of 1.7%. To be considered a water-resistant adhesive, the water-soluble mass of adhesive should be less than 2%. The wet shear strength test showed 100% cohesive failure within fiberboard, indicating that the modified SPI has good water resistance. The effect of drying treatment on adhesion performance of the SDS-modified SPI on fiberboard was then investigated. Drying treatment significantly affected the final adhesion performance. Shear strength did not change much, but the percentage of cohesive failure within fiberboard increased markedly as drying temperature increased. All the unsoaked, soaked, and wet specimens glued by the adhesives treated at 70° or 90°C had 100% cohesive failure within fiberboard. Viscosity also increased greatly with an increase in drying temperature. This information will be useful in developing low-cost adhesive processing system in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Introduced species are a major threat to the planet’s ecosystems and one of the major causes of species extinction. This study deals with some of the economic impacts of one of these “invaders,” variable milfoil. Variable milfoil can clog waterbodies, cause boating and swimming hazards, and crowd out native species. This study analyzed the effects of variable milfoil on shoreline property values at selected New Hampshire lakes. Results indicate that property values on lakes experiencing milfoil infestation may be considerably lower than similar properties on uninfested lakes. Results are highly sensitive to specification (variable selection) of the hedonic equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract Willamette Valley upland prairie in western Oregon, U.S.A. has been severely degraded and fragmented in the past 150 years after European settlement, resulting in vast population reductions of endemic species. Icaricia icarioides fenderi (Fender's blue butterfly) and Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii (Kincaid's lupine) are federally listed as Endangered and Threatened Species, respectively. Both are Willamette Valley upland prairie endemics, and Kincaid's lupine is the primary host plant for the Fender's blue butterfly. Attempts to grow Kincaid's lupine have been partially successful in a greenhouse situation; however, propagating plants from field-sown seed can be tenuous and plant establishment is unpredictable. Kincaid's lupine seeds were planted in the fall 1997 at two different upland prairie sites, and the cohort was followed through the summer 2000. Based on cohort tables the most vulnerable life stages to mortality are the germinant stage and the first growing year. Mechanical scarification of Kincaid's lupine seeds yielded no significant differences in survivorship, maternal function, plant size, and the percentage of seeds germinated compared with unscarified seeds. Differential seed source performance detected at one planting site suggests that underlying differences in population genetics may affect Kincaid's lupine vigor, fitness, and establishment. Future restoration projects for Kincaid's lupine should focus on upland prairie sites with naturally occurring lupine populations because local ecological conditions are favorable for lupine establishment. Moreover, the addition of new individuals to small Kincaid's lupine colonies will buffer against the effects of inbreeding depression and increase the site carrying capacity for Fender's blue butterfly.

AB - Fort Greely, Alaska has an extensive complex of weapon training and testing areas located on lands withdrawn from the public domain under the Military Lands Withdrawal Act (PL106-65). The Army has pledged to implement a program to identify possible munitions contamination. Because of the large size (344,165,000 m²) of the high hazard impact areas, characterization of these constituents will be difficult. We used an authoritative sampling design to find locations most likely to contain explosives-residues on three impact areas. We focused our sampling on surface soils and collected multi-increment and discrete samples at locations of known firing events and from areas on the range that had craters, pieces of munitions, targets, or a designation as a firing point. In the two impact areas used primarily by the Army, RDX was the most frequently detected explosive. In the impact area that was also used by the Air Force, TNT was the most frequently detected explosive. Where detected, the explosives concentrations generally were low (<0.05 mg/kg) except in soils near low-order detonations, where the explosive-filler was in contact with the soil surface. These low-order detonations potentially can serve as localized sources for groundwater contamination if positioned in recharge areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Devils Lake, a terminal, saline lake, of glacial origin, in North Dakota has experienced a 7.5 m rise in lake elevation resulting in the flooding of over 243 km[sup 2] from 1992 to 2002. At lower water surface elevations, Devils Lake functions as a series of connected basins with salinity increasing in an eastward direction due to evaporation. The recent increase in water depth provides an opportunity for increased dispersive exchange flows and mixing between the lake’s basins due to wind and buoyancy forces. This increased mixing will change the future water quality distribution in Devils Lake, and may therefore have an impact on plans for lake level stabilization. In this paper, a model based on energy and conservation of mass principles is applied to estimate the potential redistribution of sulfate within Devils Lake. The rate of redistribution may affect the lake’s ecosystem and the design of a possible water diversion to the Red River of the North for the purpose of stabilizing the water surface elevation. Included in the paper is the selection of model input parameters, model calibration with field measurements, and application of the model to five future scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A synthesis of existing models and formulas is made to compute the virtual performance of rubble mound structures in shallow water under combined storm surge and breaking waves for sequences of hurricanes. The computed results for ten 500-year simulations are presented for a typical structure as an example. The crest height and armor weight of the structure are designed against the peak of a 100-year storm. The structure designed conventionally is exposed to approximately 350 storms for each 500-year simulation. The computed wave overtopping rate and volume during the entire duration of each storm are analyzed to assess the severity of flooding hazards. The computed progression of damage to the armor layer is caused episodically by several major storms but slows down as the structure ages. The computed results are also used to quantify the equivalent duration of the peak of a storm that yields the same overtopping water volume and damage increment as those computed for the entire storm duration.

AB - The equations of motion of a spring-mass system are used to describe a vessel’s mooring system. These equations employ added mass and hydrodynamic damping coefficients, which depend on vessel shape and the proximity of free-surface and solid boundaries. The present study has experimentally determined these coefficients for barge tows moored in the chamber of navigation locks. Seven lock chamber configurations were tested in which the width, depth, and length of the chamber and the beam width and length of the tow were varied. Values of the added mass coefficient and a nondimensional form of the damping coefficient are presented. Subsequent to modeling flow in a lock chamber, these coefficients can be used in conjunction with hawser properties (spring constants) to estimate hawser forces generated during locking operations.

AB - The epidemiological association between black cherry trees and mare reproductive loss syndrome has focused attention on cyanide and environmental cyanogens. This article describes the toxicokinetics of cyanide in horses and the relationships between blood cyanide concentrations and potentially adverse responses to cyanide. To identify safe and humane blood concentration limits for cyanide experiments, mares were infused with increasing doses (1-12 mg/min) of sodium cyanide for 1 h. Infusion at 12 mg/min produced clinical signs of cyanide toxicity at 38 min; these signs included increased heart rate, weakness, lack of coordination, loss of muscle tone, and respiratory and behavioral distress. Peak blood cyanide concentrations were about 2500 ng/mL; the clinical and biochemical signs of distress reversed when infusion stopped. Four horses were infused with 1 mg/min of sodium cyanide for 1 h to evaluate the distribution and elimination kinetics of cyanide. Blood cyanide concentrations peaked at 1160 ng/mL and then declined rapidly, suggesting a two-compartment, open model. The distribution (alpha) phase half-life was 0.74 h, the terminal (beta phase) half-life was 16.16 h. The mean residence time was 12.4 h, the steady-state volume of distribution was 2.21 L/kg, and the mean systemic clearance was 0.182 L/h/kg. Partitioning studies showed that blood cyanide was about 98.5% associated with the red cell fraction. No clinical signs of cyanide intoxication or distress were observed during these infusion experiments. Mandelonitrile was next administered orally at 3 mg/kg to four horses. Cyanide was rapidly available from the orally administered mandelonitrile and the C max blood concentration of 1857 ng/mL was observed at 3 min after dosing; thereafter, blood cyanide again declined rapidly, reaching 100 ng/mL by 4 h postadministration. The mean oral bioavailability of cyanide from mandelonitrile was 57% ± 6.5 (SEM), and its apparent terminal half-life was 13 h ± 3 (SEM). No clinical signs of cyanide intoxication or distress were observed during these experiments. These data show that during acute exposure to higher doses of cyanide (∼600 mg/horse; 2500 ng/mL of cyanide in blood), redistribution of cyanide rapidly terminated the acute toxic responses. Similarly, mandelonitrile rapidly delivered its cyanide content, and acute cyanide intoxications following mandelonitrile administration can also be terminated by redistribution. Rapid termination of cyanide intoxication by redistribution is consistent with and explains many of the clinical and biochemical characteristics of acute, high-dose cyanide toxicity. On the other hand, at lower concentrations (<100 ng/mL in blood), metabolic transformation of cyanide is likely the dominant mechanism of termination of action. This process is slow, with terminal half-lives ranging from 12-16 hours. The large volume of distribution and the long terminal-phase-elimination half-life of cyanide suggest different mechanisms for toxicities and termination of toxicities associated with low-level exposure to cyanide. If environmental exposure to cyanide is a factor in the cause of MRLS, then it is likely in the more subtle effects of low concentrations of cyanide on specific metabolic processes that the associations will be found.

AB - Abstract This paper presents a methodology for the evaluation of land condition and for the allocation of areas requiring restoration. It is based on spatial simulation analysis and fuzzy logic. The method is demonstrated in a restoration allocation problem within a military training area in Texas. Fuzzy logic is integrated with spatial analysis through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to make land condition assessment geographically specific. Two sources of uncertainty in Land Condition Analysis are considered in this paper. First is the uncertainty due to incomplete information on land condition. Second is the uncertainty emanating from identifying the condition of a particular parcel of land. The first is addressed by using sequential Gaussian simulation, a geostatistical tool. Erosion status is selected as the land condition factor, and uncertainty associated with it is considered in this study. Land allocation is based on fuzzy logic to reflect the continuous transition between different land conditions and the minimization of loss that is expected to occur in the case of misallocation. Various forms of loss functions are used for allocating areas in need of restoration. An important result of the study is a map showing the areas allocated for restoration. The proposed method is compared to two alternative methods with varying degrees of determinism and uncertainty. The incorporation of uncertainty led to better allocation strategies and results that are more realistic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract. Field evaluation of a ‘lethal ovitrap’ (LO) to control dengue vector Aedes mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae), was undertaken in two Brazilian municipalities, Areia Branca and Nilopolis, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The LO is designed to kill Aedes via an insecticide-treated ovistrip (impregnated with deltamethrin). In each municipality, the intervention was applied to a group of 30 houses (10 LOs/house) and compared to 30 houses without LOs in the same neighbourhood. Five LOs were put outside and five LOs inside each treated house. Three methods of monitoring Aedes density were employed: (i) percentage of containers positive for larvae and/or pupae; (ii) total pupae/house; (iii) total adult females/house collected by aspirator indoors. Weekly mosquito surveys began during the month before LO placement, by sampling from different groups of 10 houses/week for 3 weeks pre-intervention (i.e. 30 houses/month) and for 3 months post-intervention in both treated and untreated areas. Prior to LO placement at the end of February 2001, Aedes aegypti (L) densities were similar among houses scheduled for LO treatment and comparison (untreated control) at each municipality. Very few Ae. albopictus (Skuse) were found and this species was excluded from the assessment. Post-intervention densities of Ae. aegypti were significantly reduced for most comparators (P < 0.01), as shown by fewer positive containers (4–5 vs. 10–18) and pupae/house (0.3–0.7 vs. 8–10) at LO-treated vs. untreated houses, 3 months post-treatment at both municipalities. Numbers of adult Ae. aegypti females indoors were consistently reduced in LO-treated houses at Areia Branca (3.6 vs. 6.8/house 3 months post-intervention) but not at Niloplis (∼3/house, attributed to immigration). These results demonstrate sustained impact of LOs on dengue vector population densities in housing conditions of Brazilian municipalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We conducted a series of steady-state and short-term experiments on a three-phase circulating-bed biofilm reactor (CBBR) for removing toluene from gas streams. The goal was to investigate the effect of macroporous-carrier size (1-mm cubes versus 4-mm cubes) on CBBR performance over a wide range of oxygen loading. We hypothesized that the smaller biomass accumulation with 1-mm carriers would minimize dissolved-oxygen (DO) limitation and improve toluene removal, particularly when the DO loading is constrained. The CBBR with 1-mm carriers overcame the performance limitation observed with the CBBR with 4-mm carriers: i.e., oxygen depletion inside the biofilm. The 1-mm carriers consistently gave superior removal of toluene and chemical oxygen-demand, and the advantage was greatest for the lowest oxygen loading and the greatest toluene loading. The 1-mm carriers achieved superior performance because they minimized the negative effects of oxygen depletion, while continuing to provide protection from excess biomass detachment and inhibition from toluene.

AB - Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive, enterotoxin-producing coccus. It is a hardy organism and known to survive over a wide range of water activities, pH values, and temperatures. The objective of this study was to model the survival or gradual inactivation of S aureus ATCC 13565 in intermediate moisture foods (IMFs). Various initial concentrations (∼10¹, 10², 10³, and 104 CFU/g) were used to inoculate three different IMFs (beefsteak, bread, and chicken pockets). Viable counts were determined up to 60 days using tryptic soy agar. Inoculum size did not influence the survival or gradual inactivation of S. aureus in these foods. The rate of change (increase or decrease) in log CFU/day was calculated for every consecutive pair of data points and by linear regression for each inactivation curve. Both consecutive pair and linear regression rates of change were fit to logistic distributions (with parameters α and β) for each food. Based on the distribution parameters, survival or gradual reactivation of X aureus was predicted by computer simulation. The simulations indicated an overall decline in X aureus population over time, although a small fraction of samples in the consecutive pair simulation showed a slight population increase even after 60 days, consistent with the observed data. Simulation results were compared to predictions from other computer models. The models of Stewart et al. were fail-safe, predicting the possibility of significant growth only after »3,000 days. The USDA pathogen modeling program predictions were found to be fail-dangerous, predicting declines at least four times faster than observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Thirty-one strains of Microcoleus were isolated from desert soils in the United States. Although all these taxa fit the broad definition of Microcoleus vaginatus (Vaucher) Gomont in common usage by soil algal researchers, sequence data for the 16S rRNA gene and 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region indicated that more than one species was represented. Combined sequence and morphological data revealed the presence of two morphologically similar taxa, M. vaginatus and Microcoleus steenstrupii Boye-Petersen. The rRNA operons of these taxa were sufficiently dissimilar that we suspect the two taxa belong in separate genera. The M. vaginatus clade was most similar to published sequences from Trichodesmium and Arthrospira. When 16S sequences from the isolates we identified as M. steenstrupii were compared with published sequences, our strains grouped with M. chthonoplastes (Mertens) Zanardini ex Gomont and may have closest relatives among several genera in the Phormidiaceae. Organization within the 16S–23S ITS regions was variable between the two taxa. Microcoleus vaginatus had either two tRNA genes (tRNAIle and tRNAAla ) or a fragment of the tRNAIle gene in its ITS regions, whereas M. steenstrupii had rRNA operons with either the tRNAIle gene or no tRNA genes in its ITS regions. Microcoleus vaginatus showed no subspecific variation within the combined morphological and molecular characterizations, with 16S similarities ranging from 97.1% to 99.9%. Microcoleus steenstrupii showed considerable genetic variability, with 16S similarities ranging from 91.5% to 99.4%. In phylogenetic analyses, we found that this variability was not congruent with geography, and we suspect that our M. steenstrupii strains represent several cryptic species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Both permit requirements and ecological assessments have been used to evaluate mitigation success. This analysis combines these two approaches to evaluate mitigation required under Section 404 of the United States Clean Water Act (CWA) and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, which allow developers to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to wetlands. This study reviewed permit files and conducted field assessments of mitigation sites to evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation required by the US Army Corps of Engineers for all permits issued in Orange County, California from 1979 through 1993. The 535 permit actions approved during this period allowed 157 ha of impacts. Mitigation was required on 70 of these actions, with 152 ha of enhanced, restored, and created habitat required for 136 ha of impacts. In 15 permit actions, no mitigation project was constructed, but in only two cases was the originally permitted project built; the two cases resulted in an unmitigated loss of 1.6 ha. Of the remaining 55 sites, 55% were successful at meeting the permit conditions while 11% failed to do so. Based on a qualitative assessment of habitat quality, only 16% of the sites could be considered successful and 26% were considered failures. Thus, of the 126 ha of habitat lost due to the 55 projects, only 26 ha of mitigation was considered successful. The low success rate was not due to poor enforcement, although nearly half of the projects did not comply with all permit conditions. Mitigation success could best be improved by requiring mitigation plans to have performance standards based on habitat functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Twenty-three Section 404 permits in central Pennsylvania (covering a wetland age range of 1–14 years) were examined to determine the type of mitigation wetland permitted, how the sites were built, and what success criteria were used for evaluation. Most permits allowed for mitigation out-of-kind, either vegetatively or through hydrogeomorphic class. The mitigation process has resulted in a shift from impacted wetlands dominated by woody species to less vegetated mitigation wetlands, a trend that appears to be occurring nationwide. An estimate of the percent cover of emergent vegetation was the only success criterion specified in the majority of permits. About 60% of the mitigation wetlands were judged as meeting their originally defined success criteria, some after more than 10 years. The permit process appears to have resulted in a net gain of almost 0.05 ha of wetlands per mitigation project. However, due to the replacement of emergent, scrub–shrub, and forested wetlands with open water ponds or uplands, mitigation practices probably led to a net loss of vegetated wetlands.

AB - An aquatic hazard assessment of contaminated groundwater in a surficial aquifer was conducted at Beach Point which is located in the Edgewood Area of the U.S. Army Garrison, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Toxicity was detected at various groundwater concentrations by seven of 10 toxicity test systems exposed to a mixture of heavy metals and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons. When estimated maximum acceptable toxicant concentrations (MATC) were established, the data for algae, invertebrates, and fish suggested that the groundwater would not be harmful at a concentration of 10% groundwater by volume. Likewise, no genotoxicity (Ames and SEC assays), development toxicity (FETAX), or chronic histopathology (9-month fish test) occurred at 10% groundwater by volume. Near-field (ULINE model) and far-field (dye-tracer model) screening level dilution models were run to estimate the dilution of the groundwater discharge plume from Beach Point into the Bush River. The groundwater was considered to be a potentially excessive hazardous material to the biota in the Bush River when a number of conservative assumptions regarding contaminant distribution and discharge rate of the aquifer were used in the hazard assessment. By modeling the groundwater emanating from Beach Point as the dilution of a discharge from a line diffuser, the potential water quality impacts were judged to be minimal if State of Maryland surface water discharge criteria for a mixing zone were used for the discharge of groundwater to the Bush River.

AB - Biomagnification of organochlorine and other persistent organic contaminants by higher trophic level organisms represents one of the most significant sources of uncertainty and variability in evaluating potential risks associated with disposal of dredged materials. While it is important to distinguish between population variability (e.g., true population heterogeneity in fish weight, and lipid content) and uncertainty (e.g., measurement error), they can be operationally difficult to define separately in probabilistic estimates of human health and ecological risk. We propose a disaggregation of uncertain and variable parameters based on: (1) availability of supporting data; (2) the specific management and regulatory context (in this case, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tiered approach to dredged material management); and (3) professional judgment and experience in conducting probabilistic risk assessments. We describe and quantitatively evaluate several sources of uncertainty and variability in estimating risk to human health from trophic transfer of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) using a case study of sediments obtained from the New York-New Jersey Harbor and being evaluated for disposal at an open water off-shore disposal site within the northeast region. The estimates of PCB concentrations in fish and dietary doses of PCBs to humans ingesting fish are expressed as distributions of values, of which the arithmetic mean or mode represents a particular fractile. The distribution of risk values is obtained using a food chain biomagnification model developed by Gobas by specifying distributions for input parameters disaggregated to represent either uncertainty or variability. Only those sources of uncertainty that could be quantified were included in the analysis. Results for several different two-dimensional Latin Hypercube analyses are provided to evaluate the influence of the uncertain versus variable disaggregation of... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The production of 3,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-hexahydrotriazine (RDX), and octahydro-1,3,5-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) has resulted in significant contamination of soil and groundwater at ammunition plants. The development of remediation and risk management strategies requires an understanding of the environmental fate and transport processes affecting TNT, RDX, and HMX. The transformation and soil sorption are key process descriptors that must be quantified to effectively evaluate the environmental fate of these contaminants in aquifer soils and groundwater. The objective of this laboratory study was to determine the effects of changing composition of simulated groundwater on TNT, RDX, and HMX adsorption in low carbon aquifer soils. Batch shake tests using homo-ionic aquifer soils and clay minerals were used to determine the effects of cation composition on sorption. Results of batch shake tests showed that simulated groundwater cation composition substantially affected the sorption of TNT in aquifer soils. Saturation of the cation exchange sites with K[sup+] and NH[sub4][sup+] resulted in increased TNT sorption to the aquifer soils by up to 9780%. TNT adsorption by biionic K[sup+]:Ca[sup++] aquifer soil increased until 40% saturation of the exchange sites was attained. Past this point, pronounced increases in adsorption were not observed until 100% saturation with K[sup+] was reached. Changing the cation substitution on aquifer soils by saturation with either K[sup+] or NH[sub4][sup+] did not consistently increase the adsorption of RDX and HMX. TNT shows great potential for treatment using cation substitution, while this is not the case for nitramines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Process wastes from ordnance loading have created groundwater and soil contamination at numerous U. S. Army sites. Some of these sites are slated for return to public use after remediation. Potential hazards associated with use of these sites for vegetable gardening after remediation to low-level residual contamination are a special concern. The objective of this study was to quantify plant uptake of explosives from contaminated soil and irrigation water. Greenhouse studies were conducted with corn, tomato, lettuce, and radish to determine uptake of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) from contaminated soil and uptake of RDX from contaminated irrigation water. A mass balance study of tomato, lettuce, and radish was conducted in chambers using carbon-14 labeled RDX. All crops accumulated RDX from soils contaminated at 5.8 mg kg[sup-1], a remediation goal based on a site-specific risk assessment. All edible plant tissues accumulated RDX from soil except corn kernels. TNT was detected only in corn stover. At 100 μ L[sup-1] RDX in irrigation water, accumulation of RDX by plants was undetectable. These results suggest that human health hazards from ingestion of vegetables growing in soils contaminated with low levels of RDX be carefully considered in plans for future use of remediated sites.

AB - The role of sea spray in transferring heat and moisture across the air-sea interface has remained elusive. Some studies have reported that sea spray does not affect the turbulent air-sea heat fluxes for 10-m wind speeds up to at least 25 m s-1, while others have reported important spray contributions for wind speeds as low as 12 m s-1. One goal of the HEXOS (Humidity Exchange over the Sea) program was to quantify spray's contribution to the turbulent air-sea heat fluxes, but original analyses of the HEXOS flux data found the spray signal to be too small to be reliably identified amid the scatter in the data. We look at the HEXOS data again in the context of the TOGA-COARE bulk flux algorithm and a sophisticated microphysical spray model. This combination of quality data and state-of-the-art modelling reveals a distinct spray signature in virtually all HEXOS turbulent heat flux data collected in winds of 15 m s-1 and higher. Spray effects are most evident in the latent heat flux data, where spray contributes roughly 10% of the total turbulent flux in winds of 10 m s-1 and between 10 and 40% in winds of 15–18 m s-1. The spray contribution to the total sensible heat flux is also at least 10% in winds above 15 m s-1. These results lead to a new, unified parameterization for the turbulent air-sea heat fluxes that should be especially useful in high winds because it acknowledges both the interfacial and spray routes by which the sea exchanges heat and moisture with the atmosphere.

AB - Patterns of fish mortality and associated physicochemical factors were studied during late spring in a managed wetland canal along the lower Missouri River, Missouri. Mean dawn dissolved oxygen was lower and mean un-ionized ammonia and turbidity were higher during the fish kill than before or after the kill, or than was observed in a nearby wetland canal where no fish kill occurred. Dissolved oxygen at dawn and un-ionized ammonia concentrations were at critically low and high levels respectively, so that both likely contributed to the fish mortality. Timing and magnitude of observed carcasses suggested that Ameiurus melas Rafinesques was the most tolerant species for the sizes observed compared to Ictiobus cyprinellus Valenciennes, Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque, Cyprinus carpio Linneaus, and Lepomis cyanellus Rafinesque. Decreasing mean lengths of fish carcasses during the fish kill for C. carpio, L. cyanellus, and A. melas, indicate that smaller fishes may have been more tolerant of harsh environmental conditions than larger individuals of the same species. Differential mortalities among species and sizes during drawdowns in actively managed wetland pools may have intentional and unintentional ramifications on wetland and riverine fish community structure, fish-avian interactions, and implementing an ecosystem management perspective to restoring more naturalized river floodplain wetland functions. Late summer and early autumn draining of managed wetlands might be used to benefit a wider diversity of wildlife and fishes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sarin (GB) vapor exposure is associated with both systemic and local toxic effects occurring primarily via the inhalation and ocular routes. The objective of these studies was to develop models for predicting dose-response effects of GB vapor concentrations as a function of exposure duration. Thus, the probability of GB vapor-induced lethality was estimated in rats exposed to various combinations of exposure concentration and duration. Groups of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to one of a series of GB vapor concentrations for a single duration (5–360 min) in a whole-body dynamic chamber. The onset of clinical signs and changes in blood cholinesterase activity were measured with each exposure. Separate effective concentrations for lethality in 50% of the exposed population (LC50) and corresponding dose-response slopes were determined for each exposure duration by the Bliss probit method. Contrary to that predicted by Haber's rule, the interaction of LC50 × time (LCT50) values increased with exposure duration (i.e., the CT for 50% lethality in the exposed population and corresponding dose-response slope was not constant over time). A plot of log (LCT50) versus log (exposure time) showed significant curvature. Predictive models derived from multifactor probit analysis of results describing the relationship between exposure conditions and probability of lethality in the rat are discussed. Overall, female rats were more sensitive to GB vapor toxicity than male rats over the range of exposure concentration and duration studied. Miosis was the initial clinical sign noted after the start of GB vapor exposure. Although blood cholinesterase activity was significantly inhibited by GB vapor exposure, poor correlation between cholinesterase inhibition and exposure conditions or cholinesterase inhibition and severity of clinical signs was noted.

AB - The interaction and behavior of surfaces or colloids is of quantitative significance in understanding the transport and fate of compounds and microorganisms in environmental systems. Historically, the DLVO model of colloid stability has described these interactions. This model finds its basis in a force (energy) balance that comprises attractive van der Waals and repulsive electrostatic interactions. Recently, the DLVO model has been found unable to fully describe biotic and abiotic colloidal behavior in aqueous media. The suspending phase (commonly water) is often treated as a force (energy) transmitting or propagating medium. It is reasonable to believe that the structure of water may participate in a more significant fashion. Moreover, other moieties (sorbed and dissolved) may also have non-DLVO effects. Significant work has been focused on extending the precepts of the traditional DLVO model to accommodate these non-DLVO forces (energies). This paper reviews many of the interactions that play a role in environmental systems and are not commonly subsumed by the traditional DLVO model: e.g., hydrogen bonding and the hydrophobic effect, hydration pressure, non-charge transfer Lewis acid base interactions, and steric interactions.

AB - The Land Condition Trend Analysis (LCTA) program is the US Army's standard for land inventory and monitoring, employing standardized methods of natural resources data collection, analyses, and reporting designed to meet multiple goals and objectives. Critical to using LCTA data in natural resources management decisions is the ability of the LCTA protocols to detect changes in natural resources. To quantify the ability of LCTA protocols to detect resource changes, power analysis techniques were used to estimate minimum detectable effect sizes (MDES) for selected primary and secondary management variables for three Army installations. MDES for a subset of primary variables were estimated using data from 27 installation LCTA programs. MDES for primary and secondary variables varied widely. However, LCTA programs implemented at larger installations with lower sampling intensities detected changes in installation resources as well as programs implemented at smaller more intensively sampled installations. As a national monitoring program that is implemented at individual installations, LCTA protocols provide relatively consistent monitoring data to detect changes in resources despite diverse resource characteristics and implementation constraints.

AB - This article presents a study which was focused on toxicity of diisopropyl methyiphosphonate (DIMP) to aquatic organisms. DIMP is a by-product of the manufacture and detoxification of the nerve gas isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate. For the study, DIMP , which was more than 99 percent pure, was obtained from the U.S. Army Center for Environmental Health Research, Fort Detrick, Maryland. The acute and chronic toxicity data indicate that DIMP is not a potential risk to aquatic organisms at either the Rocky Mountain Arsenal or Aberdeen Proving Ground.

AB - The U.S. Department of Energy’s Columbia River Comprehensive Impact Assessment (CRCIA) was an ambitious attempt to direct its cleanup of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation toward the most significant risks to the Columbia River resulting from past plutonium production. DOE’s approach was uncommonly open, including tribal, regulatory agency, and other Hanford interest group representatives on the board that was to develop the assessment approach. The CRCIA process had attributes of the “analytic-deliberative” process for risk assessment recommended by the National Research Council. Nevertheless, differences between the DOE and other participants over what was meant by the term “comprehensive” in the group’s charge, coupled with differing perceptions of the likely effectiveness of remediation efforts in reducing risks, were never resolved. The CRCIA effort became increasingly fragmented and the role its products were to play in influencing future clean-up decisions increasingly ambiguous. A procedural evaluation of the CRCIA process, based on Thomas Webler’s procedural normative model of public participation, reveals numerous instances in which theoretical-normative discourse disconnects occurred. These had negative implications for both the basic procedural dimensions of Webler’s model—fairness and competence. Tribal and other interest group representatives lacked the technical resources necessary to make or challenge what philosopher Jurgens Habermas terms cognitive validity claims, while DOE and its contractors did not challenge normative claims made by tribal representatives. The results are cautionary for implementation of the analytic-deliberative process. They highlight the importance of bringing rigor to the evaluation of the quality of the deliberation component of risk characterization via the analytic-deliberative process, as well as to the analytic component.

AB - The extent to which multiple past concussions are associated with lingering symptoms or mental health problems in military service members is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between lifetime concussion history, cognitive functioning, general health, and psychological health in a large sample of fit-for-duty U.S. Army soldiers preparing for deployment. Data on 458 active-duty soldiers were collected and analyzed. A computerized cognitive screening battery (CNS-Vital Signs(®)) was used to assess complex attention (CA), reaction time (RT), processing speed (PS), cognitive flexibility (CF), and memory. Health questionnaires included the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI), PTSD Checklist-Military Version (PCL-M), Zung Depression and Anxiety Scales (ZDS; ZAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the Alcohol Use and Dependency Identification Test (AUDIT). Soldiers with a history of multiple concussions (i.e., three or more concussions) had significantly greater post-concussive symptom scores compared with those with zero (d = 1.83, large effect), one (d = 0.64, medium effect), and two (d = 0.64, medium effect) prior concussions. Although the group with three or more concussions also reported more traumatic stress symptoms, the results revealed that traumatic stress was a mediator between concussions and post-concussive symptom severity. There were no significant differences on neurocognitive testing between the number of concussions. These results add to the accumulating evidence suggesting that most individuals recover from one or two prior concussions, but there is a greater risk for ongoing symptoms if one exceeds this number of injuries.

AB - This study examined psychological and physical health factors in a cohort of U.S. Marine recruits with the goal of developing a comprehensive understanding of attributes recruits bring to training. 1,350 male recruits completed a multimeasure survey during the first week of training. A 2-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted to explore the relationship of hardiness dimensions on several psychological and physical factors. Compared with other military samples, this cohort reported similar levels on hardiness control and rigidity subscales. Recruits who reported higher scores on a measure of positive hardiness also reported higher scores on measures of grit, grit ambition, sensation seeking, training expectations, positive ways of coping, physical and mental health, fitness scores, and lower scores on a measure of depression. This study provides a more complete understanding of the complex array of attributes of Marine recruits and forms a foundation for predictive models of injury risk and/or attrition.

AB - The objective of this work was to compare consumer’s liking and perception of meat quality attributes as a function of their familiarity and involvement with fresh meat. Ninety-three meat consumers were classified on the basis of their familiarity with fresh meats. Socio-demographic differences between the clusters were found to relate to gender and age, and high familiarity (HF) consumers showed higher involvement with meat. HF consumers enjoyed consuming meat, and they associated a symbolic value to it. In addition, their liking ratings were higher than those of low familiarity (LF) consumers for both appearance and taste of three specific types of fresh meat over the course of product shelf-life. The perceived risks associated with meat consumption and product choice were similar between groups. Both consumer segments reported that the most important driver of fresh meat purchase is its appearance, while the role of extrinsic cues differed among the groups. The HF group needed more information when choosing meat. Regardless of familiarity level, liking was consistent with beef appearance as affected by storage, but the prediction of experienced sensory quality lacked consistency when the perceived intrinsic cue variation was not associated with meat freshness.

AB - Exposure to organophosphate (OP) nerve agents, such as sarin, may lead to uncontrolled seizures and irreversible brain injury and neuropathology. In rat studies, a median lethal dose of sarin leads to approximately half of the animals developing seizures. Whereas previous studies analyzed transcriptomic effects associated with seizing sarin-exposed rats, our study focused on the cohort of sarin-exposed rats that did not develop seizures. We analyzed the genomic changes occurring in sarin-exposed, non-seizing rats and compared differentially expressed genes and pathway activation to those of seizing rats. At the earliest time point (0.25h) and in multiple sarin-sensitive brain regions, defense response genes were commonly expressed in both groups of animals as compared to the control groups. All sarin-exposed animals activated the MAPK signaling pathway, but only the seizing rats activated the apoptotic-associated JNK and p38 MAPK signaling sub-pathway. A unique phenotype of the non-seizing rats was the altered expression levels of genes that generally suppress inflammation or apoptosis. Importantly, the early transcriptional response for inflammation- and apoptosis-related genes in the thalamus showed opposite trends, with significantly down-regulated genes being up-regulated, and vice versa, between the seizing and non-seizing rats. These observations lend support to the hypothesis that regulation of anti-inflammatory genes might be part of an active and sufficient response in the non-seizing group to protect against the onset of seizures. As such, stimulating or activating these responses via pretreatment strategies could boost resilience against nerve agent exposures. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB - Seventy-one deployed U.S. Army soldiers who presented for concussion care due to either blast or blunt mechanisms within 72 h of injury were assessed using the Military Acute Concussion Evaluation, the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM), traditional neuropsychological tests, and health status questionnaires. Follow-up ANAM testing was performed 10 d after initial testing (± 5 d). Twenty-one soldiers were excluded: two for poor effort and 19 who had combined blast/blunt injuries. Of the remaining 50 male participants, 34 had blast injuries and 16 had blunt injuries. There were no statistically significant differences between blast injury and blunt injury participants in demographic, physical, or psychological health factors, concussive symptoms, or automated and traditional neurocognitive testing scores within 72 h post-injury. In addition, follow-up ANAM scores up to 15 d post-injury were not significantly different (available on 21 blast-injured and 13 blunt-injured subjects). Pre-injury baseline ANAM scores were compared where available, and revealed no statistically significant differences between 22 blast injury and eight blunt injury participants. These findings suggest there are no significant differences between mechanisms of injury during both the acute and subacute periods in neurobehavioral concussion sequelae while deployed in a combat environment. The current study supports the use of sports/mechanical concussion models for early concussion management in the deployed setting and exploration of variability in potential long-term outcomes.

AB - Shooting a firearm involves a complex series of cognitive abilities. For example, locating an item or a person of interest requires visual search, and firing the weapon (or withholding a trigger squeeze) involves response execution (or inhibition). The present study used a simulated shooting environment to establish a relationship between a particular cognitive ability and a critical shooting error—response inhibition and firing on civilians, respectively. Individual-difference measures demonstrated, perhaps counterintuitively, that simulated civilian casualties were not related to motor impulsivity (i.e., an itchy trigger finger) but rather to an individual’s cognitive ability to withhold an already initiated response (i.e., an itchy brain). Furthermore, active-response-inhibition training reduced simulated civilian casualties, which revealed a causal relationship. This study therefore illustrates the potential of using cognitive training to possibly improve shooting performance, which might ultimately provide insight for military and law-enforcement personnel.

AB - Most existing literature on religion/spirituality (R/S) and resiliency focuses on mainstream populations, where R/S appears to be a search for positive meaning, protective factors, and a predictor of successful adaptation in coping with adversity. The role of R/S in fostering resilience among Muslim Military Personnel (MMP) and other minority faith groups is understudied, and it remains unclear how religious coping strategies apply to minority religious groups when faced with faith-related stressors. This study explores situations in which R/S is perceived as both a protective and a risk factor for MMP and describes the effects that faith-related stressors have on their psychological wellbeing. The study used in-depth individual interviews with 20 U.S. MMP, active, reserves/national guards, and retired, from different backgrounds. Grounded thematic analysis guided the processing of qualitative interview data, using the software package NVivo9. The results demonstrate the central role of R/S and practice in the life of MMP, support the approach of understanding resiliency through vulnerability, as well as the importance of the cultural meaning MMP attach to their experiences with adversity and how these meanings contribute to their resiliency. The study has policy and practice implications for social work and other helping professions, as well as for current and likely future American wars and the organization of faith-based services within the total U.S. Armed Forces (USAF).

AB - Comments on an article by M. T. Bulzacchelli et al. (see record [rid]2014-49474-018[/rid]). Bulzacchelli et al. performed a systematic review to determine the level of evidence for 23 potential risk factors for injuries during Army basic combat training (BCT), including gender and physical fitness. They concluded that evidence was limited, mixed, or insufficient for all but age, smoking, and low physical activity prior to basic training. The authors feel that the methodology used by Bulzacchelli et al. dismissed or ignored substantial relevant evidence, and the conclusions do not reflect familiarity with existing data. As a result, the readers are erroneously led to believe little is known about two of the most important and consistent injury risk factors among Army trainees: gender and aerobic fitness. The credibility of a systematic review depends largely on the thoroughness of the search for relevant studies. Bulzacchelli et al. searched only a single database, thus excluding many publically available military reports readily obtainable through the Defense Technical Information Center. As a result of the overly narrow criteria used to score, include, and synthesize studies, Bulzacchelli et al. also failed to capture and adequately assess the breadth of evidence.

AB - Individuals in high-risk occupations (e.g., military service) often report physical, psychological, and organizational problems. Although leaders can partially buffer their subordinates against these problems, the impact of established leadership skills appears limited, especially in high-risk occupations. Thus, building on recent theories of domain-specific leadership, we examined whether leadership focused on the specific domain of sleep might be negatively associated with some specific problems facing individuals in high-risk occupations, beyond their relationship with general leadership. Studying military personnel on peacekeeping and combat deployments, we predicted that 'sleep leadership' would be negatively associated with sleep problems (physical), depressive symptoms (psychological), and negative climate (organizational), and that sleep would mediate the relationship between sleep leadership and the psychological and organizational problems. Results were generally supportive, contributing to theories of domain-specific leadership by showing that sleep-focused leader behaviors may go beyond general leadership behaviors, relating directly to the problems facing individuals in high-risk occupations.

AB - A sediment quality assessment survey and subsequent toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) study was conducted at several sites in Puget Sound, Washington. The sites were previously suspected of contamination with ordnance compounds. The initial survey employed sea urchin porewater toxicity tests to locate the most toxic stations. Sediments from the most toxic stations were selected for comprehensive chemical analyses. Based on the combined information from the toxicity and chemical data, three adjacent stations in Ostrich Bay were selected for the TIE study. The results of the phase I TIE suggested that organics and metals were primarily responsible for the observed toxicity in the sea urchin fertilization test. In addition to these contaminants, ammonia was also contributing to the toxicity for the sea urchin embryological development test. The phase II TIE study isolated the majority of the toxicity in the fraction containing nonpolar organics with high log Kow, but chemical analyses failed to identify a compound present at a concentration high enough to be responsible for the observed toxicity. The data suggest that some organic or organometallic contaminant(s) that were not included in the comprehensive suite of chemical analyses caused the observed toxicological responses.

AB - A toxicity database for ordnance compounds was generated using eight compounds of concern and marine toxicity tests with five species from different phyla. Toxicity tests and endpoints included fertilization success and embryological development with the sea urchin Arbacia punctulata; zoospore germination, germling length, and cell number with the green macroalga Ulva fasciata; survival and reproductive success of the polychaete Dinophilus gyrociliatus; larvae hatching and survival with the redfish Sciaenops ocellatus; and survival of juveniles of the opossum shrimp Americamysis bahia (formerly Mysidopsis bahia). The studied ordnance compounds were 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluene, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 1,3-dinitrobenzene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, 2,4,6-trinitrophenylmethylnitramine (tetryl), 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid), and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). The most sensitive toxicity test endpoints overall were the macroalga zoospore germination and the polychaete reproduction tests. The most toxic ordnance compounds overall were tetryl and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene. These were also the most degradable compounds, often being reduced to very low or below-detection levels at the end of the test exposure. Among the dinitro- and trinitrotoluenes and benzenes, toxicity tended to increase with the level of nitrogenation. Picric acid and RDX were the least toxic chemicals tested overall.

AB - Applications of Kolmogorov's universal equilibrium hypothesis and the Taylor transform to velocity spectra derived from measurements within the low frequency portion of the atmospheric surface layer (ASL) inertial subrange are examined. The measured ratios of lateral to longitudinal velocity component spectra exhibit considerable scatter, but suggest convergence towards 1.0 rather than towards the 4/3 expected from theory. Shear and buoyancy introduce anisotropy to the inertial subrange, thereby contributing to the observed scatter. The apparent discrepancy between the 4/3 velocity component spectrum ratio expected from theory and the measurements could arise as a consequence of the processing used to produce spectra. These processing effects must be considered from the perspective of the propagating eddy. Spectral averaging used with sonic anemometer data is done over time periods that are large with respect to inertial subrange eddy correlation decay times. This averaging causes energy from larger scale eddies to appear as `local convection' that dominates the Taylor transform. Spectrum ratio convergence and cospectra approaching zero are necessary, but not sufficient, conditions for onset of local isotropy. Measurements of spectrum ratios and cospectra over the entire inertial subrange are needed to determine whether or not local isotropy might occur within the ASL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The lethal and sublethal toxicity of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) to the estuarine amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus was determined using sediment spiked with 14C-labeled compound. Juvenile amphipods were exposed to concentrations up to 9.9 nmol/g dry weight (3.5 μg/g). Acute effects on survival were determined in a 10-day experiment. Chronic effects on survival, growth, and reproduction were assessed in a 28-day experiment. The DDT in the sediments transformed to dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD), dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), and polar metabolites during the 14-day sediment storage prior to exposing the amphipods. The mixture of DDT and its breakdown products (tDDT) was comprised mostly of DDT at the beginning of the exposures. DDD was the prevalent compound at termination of the 28-day exposure. Complete mortality occurred at sediment concentrations of tDDT as low as 7 nmol/g (2.3 μg/g) in both acute and chronic experiments. Most of the mortality appeared to have occurred within the first 4 days of exposure. No sublethal reductions in growth or reproduction were observed in the 28-day experiment. In the 10-day experiment, where amphipods did not receive supplemental food, growth was significantly increased in DDT treatments where survival was not affected. The concentration of tDDT in amphipod tissues was determined at exposure termination. In the 10-day experiment, a mean body residue of 14 nmol/g wet weight was associated with significant mortality (30%). Lower critical body residues were observed in the 28-day experiment, where the median lethal tissue residue (LR50) was 7.6 (6.8–8.4, 95% confidence interval) nmol/g wet weight. Based on previous studies, the lethal critical body residue for L. plumulosus is similar to those determined for freshwater amphipods and substantially lower than those determined for cladocerans and polychaetes.

AB - The sea breeze introduces harmonics of its diurnal cycle into water bodies, which can be notable for strong sea breeze and microtidal and nontidal conditions. The harmonics can be of the same magnitude as those produced by bottom friction and dominate those produced by nonlinear terms in the equations of motion. A closed-form analytic solution of the linearized depth-averaged equations of motion including friction is discussed for the situation of a sea breeze blowing on an idealized one-dimensional basin of constant depth. The solution reveals the generation of odd harmonics introduced by the quadratic wind stress and role of (linearized) friction. Sea-breeze forcing on the idealized basin is numerically modeled, and agreement with the analytic solution is found. The numerical model is then run with quadratic bottom friction and nonlinear terms to compare relative contributions to the generation of harmonics. Harmonics of the water motion are distinguished as forced, or arising from the wind forcing, and as response, or arising from the interactions within the water. The hydrodynamics of Baffin Bay, Texas, are modeled and spatial variation and relative strength of the harmonics investigated. Baffin Bay is a large shallow embayment with a weak connection to the Gulf of Mexico that experiences a strong southeast wind and sea breeze during the summer. The wind induces even and odd forced harmonics through the combined quasi-steady southeast wind and sea breeze. At Baffin Bay, ratios of the semidiurnal to diurnal amplitudes of water level and current speed are found to be comparable to M4/M2 ratios for U.S. Atlantic coast embayments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The inductors are designed for on-chip or in-package integration with high-frequency power converter circuits to enable chip-scale power management in size-constrained applications. A process for realizing the inductors through multilevel, three-dimensional molding of electroplated copper structures has been enhanced with capabilities for four independent copper layers in thicknesses of up to 30 \mum each. The impact of increasing the thickness of the stacked copper traces is specifically explored and compared to similar inductors with 10-\mum-thick stacked windings. Impedance characterization revealed a drastic decrease in the series resistance in the thicker inductors as desired but also revealed undesired eddy current and magnetic coupling effects.

AB - Rigorous electromagnetic field modeling is applied to calculate the quantum efficiency of various quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) geometries. We found quantitative agreement between theory and experiment for corrugated-QWIPs, grating-coupled QWIPs, and enhanced-QWIPs, and the model explains adequately the spectral lineshapes of the quantum grid infrared photodetectors. After establishing our theoretical approach, we used the model to optimize the detector structures for 12-micron pixel pitch focal plane arrays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A comparison of snow depths on sea ice was made using airborne altimeters and an Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) simulator. The data were collected during the March 2006 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Arctic field campaign utilizing the NASA P-3B aircraft. The campaign consisted of an initial series of coordinated surface and aircraft measurements over Elson Lagoon, Alaska and adjacent seas followed by a series of large-scale (100 km \times 50 km) coordinated aircraft and AMSR-E snow depth measurements over portions of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. This paper focuses on the latter part of the campaign. The P-3B aircraft carried the University of Colorado Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR-A), the NASA Wallops Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) lidar altimeter, and the University of Kansas Delay-Doppler (D2P) radar altimeter. The PSR-A was used as an AMSR-E simulator, whereas the ATM and D2P altimeters were used in combination to provide an independent estimate of snow depth. Results of a comparison between the altimeter-derived snow depths and the equivalent AMSR-E snow depths using PSR-A brightness temperatures calibrated relative to AMSR-E are presented. Data collected over a frozen coastal polynya were used to intercalibrate the ATM and D2P altimeters before estimating an altimeter snow depth. Results show that the mean difference between the PSR and altimeter snow depths is -2.4 cm (PSR minus altimeter) with a standard deviation of 7.7 cm. The RMS difference is 8.0 cm. The overall correlation between the two snow depth data sets is 0.59. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB - We present a first assessment of airborne laser and radar altimeter data over snow-covered sea ice, gathered during the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Operation IceBridge Mission. We describe a new technique designed to process radar echograms from the University of Kansas snow radar to estimate snow depth. We combine IceBridge laser altimetry with radar-derived snow depths to determine sea ice thickness. Results are validated through comparison with direct measurements of snow and ice thickness collected in situ at the Danish GreenArc 2009 sea ice camp located on fast ice north of Greenland. The IceBridge instrument suite provides accurate measurements of snow and ice thickness, particularly over level ice. Mean IceBridge snow and ice thickness agree with in situ measurements to within ~ 0.01 and ~ 0.05 m, respectively, while modal snow and ice thickness estimates agree to within 0.02 and 0.10 m, respectively. IceBridge snow depths were correlated with in situ measurements (R = 0.7, for an averaging length of 55 m). The uncertainty associated with the derived IceBridge sea ice thickness estimates is 0.40 m. The results demonstrate the retrieval of both first-year and multiyear ice thickness from IceBridge data. The airborne data were however compromised in heavily ridged ice where snow depth, and hence ice thickness, could not be measured. Techniques developed as part of this study will be used for routine processing of IceBridge retrievals over Arctic sea ice. The limitations of the GreenArc study are discussed, and recommendations for future validation of airborne measurements via field activities are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The response of an electromagnetic gradiometer (EMG) system to a subsurface wire is analyzed in terms of experimental and analytical modeling results. Our objective is to explore characteristics of the response and assess the fidelity of our model. The EMG system consists of a static transmitter and a man-portable sensor, which uses a pair of receivers that yield a gradiometric measurement. Experimental results were collected over a range of wire depths from 3.4 to 8.5 m. A number of different transmitter positions were explored, and the tests studied were conducted at 200 kHz. Modeling results were consistent with the experimental results and supported a number of key findings. Results are presented showing that, in order to maximize the strength of the wire response, the transmitter should be positioned approximately 5 m off the wire axis. Furthermore, in order to avoid unwanted transmitter influence on the response, the EMG should be at least 30 m from the transmitter. Using the experimental and modeling results, we found a linear relationship between the width of the magnitude response peak and the wire depth. Based on our experimental results, the EMG is able to yield a discernible target response at a depth of at least 7 m. Lastly, an example of how the model can be used to optimize survey planning is presented. This paper illustrates how an EMG can be used to locate underground wires with applications ranging from underground utility mapping to the detection of shallow subsurface tunnels.

AB - This paper presents an X-band two-bit phase shifter that integrates single-pole four-throw (SP4T) piezoelectric microelectromechanical switches with a compact 3-D passive design on a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) organic substrate. The multilayer LCP process allows a low-cost and lightweight circuit that can easily be integrated with other radio frequency front-end components, such as an antenna, at the packaging level. By routing lines onto embedded multilayers, a 22.5% reduction in area is achieved. In addition, low-loss piezoelectric SP4T switches with a 7 V actuation voltage are used to switch between different phase delays. The phase shifter exhibits a loss of 0.75 dB/bit with 2.25^\circ average phase error at 10 GHz. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Metamaterial (MTM)-inspired antennas leverage techniques that have been developed over the past decade for designing artificial materials whose electromagnetic properties can be tailored to specific applications. One of the key features of the MTM-inspired antennas is their ability to motivate electrically small antenna designs through planar and volumetric loadings of space with resonant parasitic capacitive and inductive structures. In a previous work, we developed the magnetic EZ antenna as a resonant antenna that operates below ka = 0.5. In this paper, we adapt the magnetic EZ antenna concept for use with high-power mesoband quarter-wave oscillator microwave sources that can operate with hundreds of megawatts of peak power and charge voltages in excess of 100 kV in the ultrahigh frequency (500–650 MHz) and demonstrate their performance with charge voltages up to 10 kV. The principal challenges that were overcome in this effort include field management to prevent undesired breakdown and capacitive isolation to decouple the EZ antenna from the source during the charge phase. Antenna design, modeling, and experimental verification are presented here, demonstrating an operating EZ antenna/source system at 510 MHz with antenna ka = 0.436. The results demonstrate that the EZ antenna is a viable antenna to consider when traditional high-power microwave antennas are too large to be integrated into a given platform.

AB - This paper describes temperature measurements made on the high-energy medium-caliber launcher at the Institute for Advanced Technology. Simulations performed in Maxwell 3-D and E-Physics showed that Joule heating from current diffusing into the rails accounts for most of the temperature rise in the conductors. Temporal skin effects increase thermal dissipation significantly over what would be expected by the ohmic losses under fully diffused conditions. Based on this analysis, Joule heating is the overwhelmingly dominant source of heating in low-speed tests. As the velocity of the armature increases, Joule heating remains the dominant source of heat; however, additional mechanisms—which may include frictional heating, arcing energy, aluminum deposition, and temperature-dependent properties—are required to more satisfactorily explain the temperature profile obtained.

AB - Many studies have investigated the effect of vibrotactile cues on task performance, but a wide range of cue and task types have made findings difficult to interpret without a quantitative synthesis. This report addresses that need by reviewing the effectiveness of vibrotactile cues in a meta-analysis of 45 studies. When added to a baseline task or to existing visual cues, vibrotactile cues enhanced task performance. When vibrotactile cues replaced visual cues; however, some effects were attenuated and others moderated by cue information complexity. To summarize such moderating effects, vibrotactile alerts are an effective replacement for visual alerts, but vibrotactile direction cues are not effective when replacing visual direction cues. This meta-analysis of vibrotactile applications underscores the benefits of vibrotactile and multimodal displays, highlights conditions in which vibrotactile cues are particularly effective, and identifies areas in need of further investigation.

AB - Fault detection and protection is an important design aspect for any power converter, especially in high-power high-voltage applications, where cost of failure can be high. The three-level dc-dc converter and its varied derivatives are attractive topologies in high-voltage high-power converter applications. The protection method can not only prevent the system failure against unbalanced voltage stresses on the switches, but also provide a remedy for the system as faults occur and save the remaining components. The three-level converter is subject to voltage unbalance in certain abnormal conditions, which can result in switch overvoltage and system failure. The reasons for the unbalanced voltage stresses are fully investigated and categorized. The solutions to each abnormal condition are introduced. In addition to the voltage unbalance, the three-level converters can be protected against multiple faults by the proposed protection method through monitoring the flying capacitor voltage. Phenomena associated with each fault are thoroughly analyzed and summarized. The protection circuit is simple and can be easily implemented, while it can effectively protect the three-level converters and its derivatives, which has been verified by the experiment with a three-level parallel resonant converter.

AB - This research considers the linear-FM (LFM) of a noise radar waveform for resolving targets when channel noise and four popular radar sidelobe weighting functions are considered. By using large time-bandwidth products and systematically varying the phase scaling factor $\kappa$, results from the digital matched filter output provide evidence that the LFM noise waveform 1) has range-Doppler resolution similar to conventional chirp waveforms and 2) has a low probability of intercept (LPI) similar to random noise waveforms. We acquire the results using a computer-based simulation and verify the location of target peaks using the chirp waveform output for both stationary and moving target cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Sediment transport in wave-dominated environments is of great interest for dredged material placement, contaminated sediments, habitat protection, and other issues. The shear stress at the sediment-water interface during a wave event is an important parameter in determining erosion and transport for both experimental and model simulation applications. Sandia National Laboratories has developed a laboratory and field device called the sediment erosion actuated by wave oscillations and linear flow (SEAWOLF) flume in which high-resolution, particle-image velocimetry (PIV) has been applied to investigate turbulent flow shear stresses for a variety of flow conditions. The results of the PIV analysis for a wave cycle demonstrate a fully developed turbulent flow, relaminarization, and an explosive transition back to turbulence. In many cases, the results of the flume tests did not show good agreement with previously reported computational fluid dynamic results and existing theories, such as Blasius, for wave-current interactions, which raises the question of whether similar phenomena are present in real environments. These results implore more studies to be conducted with similarly high-resolution field measurements and modeling efforts to determine shear stress time history for oscillatory flows and the subsequent effects on erosion and sediment transport in wave-dominated environments.

AB - Two-dimensional tidal flows within the Lake Pontchartrain-Lake Borgne area (Louisiana) are simulated to assess the effects of the surge protection structure on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) on navigation conditions. The region of interest is modeled with a shallow-water, depth-averaged, finite-element model. The water levels and discharge are analyzed at a location in the GIWW to ascertain model behavior. It is shown that the presence of the structure produces infrequent increases in velocities in the GIWW, which can be mitigated by a proposed structure near Lake Pontchartrain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A total of 25 small-scale laboratory experiments simulating combined wave overtopping and storm-surge overflow on a trapezoidal levee were conducted at a nominal prototype-to-model scale of NL=25. Time series measurements of irregular and unsteady flow thickness and velocity were acquired at two locations on the landward-side, 1V : 3H slope. These measurements were used to calculate the time series of instantaneous shear stress representing the average over a 4.8-m-long (prototype scale) levee slope between the two measurement locations. Empirical relationships are presented for estimating the mean shear stresses for steady overflow and for combined wave and surge overtopping. For the latter case, additional formulas are given for estimating representative parameters of the irregular shear stress peaks associated with individual overtopping waves. The collected data were intended primarily for the design of rapidly deployable levee armoring systems; however, the data could also be used to evaluate the erosion of soil or vegetated levees and dikes.

AB - The effects of external currents on the longshore current and sediment transport in the surf zone are examined using the cross-shore numerical model CSHORE, which is extended to include the alongshore pressure gradient term in the longshore momentum equation and to allow oblique waves in the swash zone on a beach. The extended CSHORE is compared with five tests conducted in a wave basin with a recirculation system. The cross-shore variations of the longshore current and sediment-transport rate are predicted fairly well for the cases of no and favorable pressure gradients. The cases of adverse and time-varying pressure gradients are computed to extrapolate the experimental results for wider applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The authors provide a discussion of the paper "Simulated Wave-Induced Erosion of the Mississippi River--Gulf Outlet Levees During the Hurricane Katrina," by Rune Stiresund et al in the May/June 2010 issue. They argue that the selection of hydrodynamic model by the authors with no documented applicability to the levee runup and overtopping problem of interest is puzzling. They also suggest the failure of the authors to check the validity of LS-DYNA model used for overtopping rate calculation.

N2 - The purpose of this study was to compare hemodynamic and blood analyte responses to reduced central venous pressure (CVP) and pulse pressure (PP) elicited during graded lower body negative pressure (LBNP) to those observed during graded blood loss (BL) in conscious humans. We hypothesized that the stimulus-response relationships of CVP and PP to hemodynamic responses during LBNP would mimic those observed during BL. We assessed CVP, PP, heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and other hemodynamic markers in 12 men during LBNP and BL. Blood samples were obtained for analysis of catecholamines, hematocrit, hemoglobin, arginine vasopressin, and blood gases. LBNP consisted of 5-min stages at 0, 15, 30, and 45 mmHg of suction. BL consisted of 5 min at baseline and following three stages of 333 ml of hemorrhage (1,000 ml total). Individual r2 values and linear regression slopes were calculated to determine whether the stimulus (CVP and PP)-hemodynamic response trajectories were similar between protocols. The CVP-MAP trajectory was the only CVP-response slope that was statistically different during LBNP compared with BL (0.93 ± 0.27 vs. 0.13 ± 0.26; P = 0.037). The PP-heart rate trajectory was the only PP-response slope that was statistically different during LBNP compared with BL (-1.85 ± 0.45 vs. -0.46 ± 0.27; P = 0.024). Norepinephrine, hematocrit, and hemoglobin were all lower at termination in the BL protocol compared with LBNP (P < 0.05). Consistent with our hypothesis, LBNP mimics the hemodynamic stimulus-response trajectories observed during BL across a significant range of CVP in humans. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2 - Highlights: [•] Joint power shifted distally down the kinetic chain with load during the walk-to-run transition. [•] Load does not shift the distribution of lower limb joint power during over-ground running. [•] Body borne load did not increase hip or knee flexion during over-ground running. [•] Greater lower limb joint loads may impair performance during load carriage. [•] Biomechanical adaptations maintain performance during dynamic locomotor activities. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB - Abstract: How does government drive the corporate social responsibility of firms that supply it with goods and services? This paper reviews relevant theory and practice to describe ways in which public procurement shapes corporate social responsibility, and it builds upon theory to develop testable propositions to describe these influences. Using the case of U.S. defense procurement, statistical analysis indicates a significant relationship between the extent to which firms engage in defense procurement and the corporate social responsibility orientations of their managers. The findings have application both for social responsibility theory and for public procurement policy and practice. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The molecular mechanisms explaining hormetic effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and 4-nonylphenol in Daphnia magna reproduction were studied in juveniles and adults. Transcriptome analyses showed changes in mRNA levels for 1796 genes in juveniles and 1214 genes in adults (out of 15?000 total probes) exposed to two SSRIs (fluoxetine and fluvoxamine) or to 4-nonylphenol. Functional annotation of affected genes was improved by assuming the annotations of putatively homologous Drosophila genes. Self-organizing map analysis and partial least-square regression coupled with selectivity ratio procedures analyses allowed to define groups of genes with specific responses to the different treatments. Differentially expressed genes were analyzed for functional enrichment using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes databases. Serotonin metabolism, neuronal developmental processes, and carbohydrates and lipid metabolism functional categories appeared as selectively affected by SSRI treatment, whereas 4-nonylphenol deregulated genes from the carbohydrate metabolism and the ecdysone regulatory pathway. These changes in functional and metabolic pathways are consistent with previously reported SSRIs and 4-nonylphenol hormetic effects in D. magna, including a decrease in reserve carbohydrates and an increase in respiratory metabolism.

AB - A hormetic response is characterized by an opposite effect in small and large doses of chemical exposure, often resulting in seemingly beneficial effects at low doses. Here, we examined the potential mechanisms underlying the hormetic response of Daphnia magna to the energetic trinitrotoluene (TNT). Daphnia magna were exposed to TNT for 21 days, and a significant increase in adult length and number of neonates was identified at low concentrations (0.002–0.22 mg/L TNT), while toxic effects were identified at high concentrations (0.97 mg/L TNT and above). Microarray analysis of D. magna exposed to 0.004, 0.12, and 1.85 mg/L TNT identified effects on lipid metabolism as a potential mechanism underlying hormetic effects. Lipidomic analysis of exposed D. magna supported the hypothesis that TNT exposure affected lipid and fatty acid metabolism, showing that hormetic effects could be related to changes in polyunsaturated fatty acids known to be involved in Daphnia growth and reproduction. Our results show that Daphnia exposed to low levels of TNT presented hormetic growth and reproduction enhancement, while higher TNT concentrations had an opposite effect. Our results also show how a systems approach can help elucidate potential mechanisms of action and adverse outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Purpose: To examine relationships between changes in body weight, body composition, and fitness level in male students of the general population and those in the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program during the freshman year of college. Methods: Thirty-seven (18.4 ± 0.7 yr) healthy, nonsmoking, first-semester-resident male students were divided into 3 groups: low active (LA), high active (HA), and ROTC. Baseline (beginning of freshman year) and 6-month follow-up measurements included anthropometry, body composition (by DXA), 3-day food records, and physical activity (PA) assessment. Results: Weight and body-mass index did not change significantly within or among groups. HA participants compared with LA and ROTC had a significant decrease in body fat (-1.6% ± 2.5% vs. 1.9% ± 1.2% and 0.8% ± 2.2%, respectively). They also had a significant increase in lean mass compared with LA and ROTC (1.8 ± 1.1 kg vs. -0.2 ± 2.0 kg and 0.2 ± 1.7 kg, respectively). All p values were <.05. ROTC and LA participants were similar in all measures of body composition and PA and had significantly lower PA levels than the HA group. No significant relationships were observed between dietary variables and body-composition changes. Conclusions: These results suggest that higher PA was the most powerful determinant in achieving favorable body-composition outcomes. In addition, current physical training conducted by ROTC at Florida State University (which seems to be a practice nationwide) might not be sufficient to offset gains in body fat.

AB - The flavonoid quercetin is purported to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study examined if quercetin supplementation attenuates indicators of exercise-induced muscle damage in a double-blind laboratory study. Thirty healthy subjects were randomized to quercetin (QU) or placebo (PL) supplementation and performed 2 separate sessions of 24 eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors. Muscle strength, soreness, resting arm angle, upper arm swelling, serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, plasma quercetin (PQ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed before and for 5 d after exercise. Subjects then ingested nutrition bars containing 1,000 mg/d QU or PL for 7 d before and 5 d after the second exercise session, using the opposite arm. PQ reached 202 ± 52 ng/ml after 7 d of supplementation and remained elevated during the 5-d postexercise recovery period (p < .05). Subjects experienced strength loss (peak = 47%), muscle soreness (peak = 39 ± 6 mm), reduced arm angle (-7° ± 1°), CK elevations (peak = 3,307 ± 1,481 U/L), and arm swelling (peak = 11 ± 2 mm; p < .0001), indicating muscle damage and inflammation; however, differences between treatments were not detected. Eccentric exercise did not alter plasma IL-6 (peak = 1.9 pg/ml) or CRP (peak = 1.6 mg/L) relative to baseline or by treatment. QU supplementation had no effect on markers of muscle damage or inflammation after eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors.

AB - Two newly designed formulations of stick camouflage face paint, one with 30% N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) and the other without DEET, were evaluated for acceptability among soldiers upon completion of normal military field training exercises. A total of 156 soldiers participated and completed a self-administered survey answering questions about product acceptability, packaging, and ease of use. Results of the study indicated that soldiers found stick formulations, with and without DEET, to be acceptable for use (62.9% and 83.7%, respectively). This data will be used by the Program Management Office at the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity to support a request to the Armed Forces Pest Management Board to assign a National Stock Number.

AB - Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among U.S. Army soldiers. Suicide-related ideation, which is associated with suicide attempts and suicide, can cause considerable distress. In a sample of 1,663 recently redeployed soldiers, we used factor analysis and structural equation modeling to test the associations between combat exposure, unit cohesion, and their interaction in predicting suicide-related ideation. We found that combat exposure was a significant risk factor for suicide-related ideation, while unit cohesion was a significant protective factor. The significant interaction between the two factors indicated that soldiers who experienced greater combat exposure but also had higher levels of unit cohesion had relatively lower levels of suicide-related ideation. In addition, those who had higher levels of combat exposure and lower unit cohesion were most at risk for suicide-related ideation. Our findings indicate the importance of unit cohesion in protecting soldiers from suicide-related ideation and suggest a higher risk group of soldiers who should be targeted for interventions.

AB - PURPOSE: To characterize noncombat injury/illness, determine changes in physical fitness, and evaluate the influence of these changes on medical resource utilization by National Guard (NG) Soldiers. METHODS: Fifty-four Soldiers from the Arizona NG completed pre- and postdeployment fitness testing. Additionally, individual deployment medical records were inventoried. RESULTS: The majority of noncombat-related medical visits (41%) were musculoskeletal in nature, followed by miscellaneous (33%) and respiratory (13%). Soldiers experienced significant decreases in percent fat mass (-11.1%, p < 0.001) and VO2 peak (-10.8%, p < 0.001). There were significant increases in push-ups (16.4%, p < 0.001), sit-ups (11.0%, p = 0.001), bench-press (10.2%, p < 0.001), and back squat (14.2%, p < 0.001) measures. VO2 peak was inversely correlated to medical resource utilization (r = -0.45 to -0.28, p < or = 0.05). The tertile of Soldiers experiencing the sharpest declines in VO2 peak had significantly more medical visits over the course of the deployment than the other two tertiles (8.0 vs. 2.6 vs. 3.1 medical visits/Soldier, p < or = 0.05). CONCLUSION: The predominate noncombat medical issue was musculoskeletal injury. NG Soldiers improved their body composition, strength, and endurance but experienced significant declines in aerobic fitness while deployed. These data document the association between declining aerobic fitness and increased utilization of medical resources.

AB - OBJECTIVES: Military health care personnel need to have skills relative to caring for patients on the battlefield. No studies have compared the two teaching strategies of using the human patient simulator (HPS) and a CD-ROM in caring for combat injuries. The objective of this study was to determine if there were statistically significant differences in HPS and CD-ROM educational strategies relative to caring for patients who have trauma. METHODS: A pretest/post-test prospective experimental design was used. Anesthesia students were randomly assigned to one of three groups: HPS, CD-ROM, or a control group. A valid and reliable instrument, Combat Performance, was used to evaluate the participant's ability to give care to trauma patients. RESULTS: A repeated analysis of variance and a least significant difference post hoc test were used to analyze the data. The HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM and control groups relative to performance (p = 0.001). There was no difference between the CD-ROM and control group (p = 0.171). DISCUSSION: We speculate that the HPS group performed better than the CD-ROM group because of the realism. CONCLUSION: In this study, the HPS method of instruction was a more effective method of teaching than the CD-ROM approach.

AB - Understanding the clinical characteristics of patients with low back pain (LBP) who display improved lumbar multifidus (LM) muscle function after spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) may provide insight into a potentially synergistic interaction between SMT and exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the baseline historical and physical examination factors associated with increased contracted LM muscle thickness one week after SMT. Eighty-one participants with LBP underwent a baseline physical examination and ultrasound imaging assessment of the LM muscle during submaximal contraction before and one week after SMT. The relationship between baseline examination variables and 1-week change in contracted LM thickness was assessed using correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple linear regression. Four variables best predicted the magnitude of increases in contracted LM muscle thickness after SMT. When combined, these variables suggest that patients with LBP, (1) that are fairly acute, (2) have at least a moderately good prognosis without focal and irritable symptoms, and (3) exhibit signs of spinal instability, may be the best candidates for a combined SMT and lumbar stabilization exercise (LSE) treatment approach.

AB - With neurocognitive testing being heavily relied on for concussion assessments in the U.S. Warfighter, there is a need to investigate the impact of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. OBJECTIVES: To determine if a nonconcussive injury may have a negative effect on neurocognitive functioning in a deployment setting. METHODS: The current study compared scores on computerized and traditional neurocognitive tests of 166 Soldiers deployed to Iraq. Performance on a battery of tests was compared between a group of healthy deployed Soldiers (n = 102) versus a group of deployed Soldiers seeking outpatient care for mild injuries not involving the head or blast exposure (n = 62). RESULTS: The injured group's performance was not significantly lower on any of the measures administered compared to healthy Soldiers. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that there was no significant effect of nonconcussive injury on neurocognitive functioning. Findings lend support to feasibility of using neurocognitive tests to evaluate the effects of concussion in theater.

AB - A military targeting environment was simulated to examine the effects of an intelligent route-planning agent RoboLeader, which could support dynamic robot re-tasking based on battlefield developments, on the performance of robotics operators. We manipulated the level of assistance (LOAs) provided by RoboLeader as well as the presence of a visualisation tool that provided feedback to the participants on their primary task (target encapsulation) performance. Results showed that the participants’ primary task benefited from RoboLeader on all LOAs conditions compared to manual performance; however, visualisation had little effect. Frequent video gamers demonstrated significantly better situation awareness of the mission environment than did infrequent gamers. Those participants with higher spatial ability performed better on a secondary target detection task than did those with lower spatial ability. Finally, participants’ workload assessments were significantly lower when they were assisted by RoboLeader than when they performed the target entrapment task manually. Practitioner Summary: This study demonstrated the utility of an intelligent agent for enhancing robotics operators’ supervisory control performance as well as reducing their workload during a complex urban scenario involving moving targets. The results furthered the understanding of the interplay among level-of-autonomy, multitasking performance and individual differences in military tasking environments.

AB - In burned patients, inhalation injury can result in progressive pulmonary dysfunction, infection, and death. Although bronchoscopy is the standard for diagnosis, it only assesses the proximal airway and does not provide a comprehensive analysis of pulmonary insult. Chest radiographs have not been proven helpful in diagnosis of inhalation injury. Our hypothesis is that a CT scan alone or in conjunction with bronchoscopy can be used as a prognostic tool for critically ill burn patients, especially those with inhalation injury. The authors performed a retrospective study of all patients admitted to the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research Burn Center between 2002 and 2008 with chest CT within 24 hours of admission. They divided subjects into two groups, those with evidence of inhalation injury on bronchoscopy and those without. They used a radiologist's score to assess the degree of damage to the pulmonary parenchyma. The primary endpoint was a composite of pneumonia, acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome, and death. The inhalation injury group consisted of 25 patients and the noninhalation injury group of 19 patients. Groups were not different in age, TBSA burned, and percentage full-thickness burn. By multiple logistic regression, detection of inhalation injury on bronchoscopy was associated with an 8.3-fold increase in the composite endpoint. The combination of inhalation injury on bronchoscopy and a high radiologist's score was associated with a 12.7-fold increase in the incidence of the composite endpoint. Admission CT assists in predicting future lung dysfunction in burn patients.

AB - The purpose of this study was to compare the magnitude of knee kinematic coupling between genders and among open- and closed-chain tasks. A secondary purpose was to compare the consistency of knee kinematic coupling between genders and among open- and closed-chain tasks. Vector-coding methods were used to quantify coupling in the sagittal and transverse planes of the knee between full extension and 20 degrees of flexion as 10 males and 10 females walked, ascended and descended stairs, and performed a passive pendulum leg drop. An ANOVA showed no main effect of gender. There was a main effect of task, where coupling during the stance phase of walking was significantly greater than each of the other tasks. Intraclass correlation values suggested that males were slightly more consistent than females. A general lack of divergence between genders may be related to the tasks analyzed in this study. It is possible that more strenuous tasks may elicit larger differences.

AB - Background There is a substantial variation in life expectancy across US counties, primarily owing to differentials in chronic diseases. The authors' aim was to examine the association of life expectancy and mortality from selected diseases with altitude. Methods The authors used data from the National Elevation Dataset, National Center for Heath Statistics and US Census. The authors analysed the crude association of mean county altitude with life expectancy and mortality from ischaemic heart disease (IHD), stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cancers, and adjusted the associations for sociodemographic factors, migration, average annual solar radiation and cumulative exposure to smoking in multivariable regressions. Results Counties above 1500 m had longer life expectancies than those within 100 m of sea level by 1.2-3.6 years for men and 0.5-2.5 years for women. The association between altitude and life expectancy became non-significant for women and non-significant or negative for men in multivariate analysis. After adjustment, altitude had a beneficial association with IHD mortality and harmful association with COPD, with a dose-response relationship. IHD mortality above 1000 m was 4-14 per 10 000 people lower than within 100 m of sea level; COPD mortality was higher by 3-4 per 10 000. The adjusted associations for stroke and cancers were not statistically significant. Conclusions Living at higher altitude may have a protective effect on IHD and a harmful effect on COPD. At least in part due to these two opposing effects, living at higher altitude appears to have no net effect on life expectancy.

AB - OBJECTIVE:Coagulopathy is a complication of traumatic brain injury and its presence after injury has been identified as a risk factor for prognosis. It was our aim to determine whether neurologic findings reflected by Glasgow Coma Scale at initial resuscitation can predict hemocoagulative disorders resulting from traumatic brain injury that may aggravate clinical sequelae and outcome in children.DESIGN:A retrospective analysis of 200 datasets from children with blunt, isolated traumatic brain injury documented in the Trauma Registry of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie was conducted. Inclusion criteria were primary admission, age <14 yrs, and sustained isolated blunt traumatic brain injury.SETTING:Trauma Registry of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie-affiliated trauma centers in Germany.PATIENTS:Two hundred datasets of children (age <14 yrs) with blunt isolated traumatic brain injury were analyzed: children were subdivided into two groups according to Glasgow Coma Scale at the scene (Glasgow Coma Scale =8 vs. Glasgow Coma Scale >8) and reviewed for coagulation abnormalities upon emergency room admission and outcome.MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS:Fifty-one percent (n = 102 of 200) of children had Glasgow Coma Scale >8 and 49% (n = 98 of 200) had Glasgow Coma Scale =8 at the scene. The incidence of coagulopathy at admission was higher in children with Glasgow Coma Scale =8 compared to children with Glasgow Coma Scale >8: 44% (n = 31 of 71) vs. 14% (n = 11 of 79) (p < .001). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that Glasgow Coma Scale =8 at scene was associated with coagulopathy at admission (odds ratio 3.378, p = .009) and stepwise regression identified Glasgow Coma Scale =8 as an independent risk factor for coagulopathy. Mortality in children with Glasgow Coma Scale =8 at scene was substantially higher with the presence of coagulation abnormalities at admission compared to children in which coagulopathy was absent (51.6%, n = 16 of 31 vs. 5% n = 2 of 40).CONCLUSIONS:Glasgow Coma Scale =8 at scene in children with isolated traumatic brain injury is associated with increased risk for coagulopathy and mortality. These results may guide laboratory testing, management, and blood bank resources in acute pediatric trauma care.

AB - The U.S. Army continues to evaluate capabilities associated with the Future of Vertical Lift (FVL) program-a futures program (with a time horizon of 15 years and beyond) intended to replace the current helicopter fleet. As part of the FVL study, we investigated required capabilities for future aeromedical evacuation platforms. This study presents two significant capability findings associated with the future aeromedical evacuation platform and one doctrinal finding associated with medical planning for future brigade operations. The three results follow: (1) Given simplifying assumptions and constraints for a scenario where a future brigade is operating in a 300 x 300 km2, the zero-risk aircraft ground speed required for the FVL platform is 350 nautical miles per hour (knots); (2) Given these same assumptions and constraints with the future brigade projecting power in a circle of radius 150 km, the zero-risk ground speed required for the FVL platform is 260 knots; and (3) Given uncertain casualty locations associated with future brigade stability and support operations, colocating aeromedical evacuation assets and surgical elements mathematically optimizes the 60-minute set covering problem.

AB - We sought to summarize knee injuries (KI) in the U.S. Active Duty Army (ADA) in terms of absolute numbers, examine current rate trends, and identify ADA who were at increased risk for experiencing a KI. We used the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD) to compute unadjusted and adjusted rates of KI, categorized by the Barell Matrix, within the ADA for the years 2000-2005. During this period, 21 to 25 per 1,000 ADA suffered from KI. The highest yearly rates were observed for knee dislocation and sprains/strains (31 per 1,000 ADA). In ADA with a history of a KI (within 2 years), rates increased nearly tenfold. Elevated KI rates were also seen in ADA with prior upper or lower leg injuries, those > 30 years of age, and those with a category IV Armed Forces Qualification Test score (lowest admissible in Army). ADA KI rates remained fairly stable throughout the study period. Relative to other ADA Soldiers, those with prior knee, upper leg, or lower leg injuries are at increased risk for subsequent KI.

AB - The purpose of the present study was to assess the occurrence of visual dysfunctions and associated symptoms in active duty warfighters during the subacute stage of blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). A comprehensive visual and oculomotor function evaluation was performed on 40 U.S. military personnel, 20 with blast-induced mTBI and 20 without. In addition, a comprehensive symptom questionnaire was used to assess the frequency of visual, vestibular, and neuropsychiatric-associated symptoms. The most common mTBI-induced visual dysfunctions were associated with near oculomotor deficits, particularly large exophoria, decreased fusion ranges, receded near point of convergence, defective pursuit and saccadic eye movements, decreased amplitude of accommodation, and monocular accommodative facility. These were associated with reduced reading speed and comprehension and an increased Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey score. Photosensitivity was a common visual dysfunction along with hearing, balance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The oculomotor testing for warfighters suspected of blast-induced mTBI should include, at a minimum, the assessment of near lateral and vertical phorias, positive fusional vergence, stereoacuity, near point of convergence, amplitude of accommodation, monocular accommodative facility, saccades, and pursuit eye movements.

AB - RATIONALE: Cytokines are central mediators of the immune-inflammatory response to injury and subsequent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Although previous studies evaluated cytokine levels after trauma, differences between patients with burn and non-burn trauma have not been assessed systematically. METHODS: A prospective database of trauma patients admitted between May 2004 and September 2007 to the burn or surgical intensive care units within 24h of injury with an anticipated stay of at least 72h was analyzed. Sequential clinical and laboratory parameters were collected in the first week, including multiplex analysis data for plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, and IL-8). Patients with known pre-injury coagulopathy were excluded. A Marshall score of 10 or greater was defined as MODS. RESULTS: A total of 179 patients were enrolled (67 burn and 112 non-burn). Plasma IL-6 and IL-8 levels were markedly elevated in both burn and non-burn patients compared to healthy volunteers. Burn subjects had higher levels of IL-6 and IL-8 than the non-burn on days 1 through 7 after injury. Subjects with burns and at least 30% total body surface area were older and had a lower injury severity score, a higher prevalence of MODS, and correspondingly higher mortality. Multivariate analysis of injury type, MODS, and time did not demonstrate an influence of MODS. CONCLUSIONS: Burns were associated with a greater and more sustained immune-inflammatory response than non-burn trauma as evidenced by elevated plasma IL-6 and IL-8 levels during the first week. There was no association between MODS and plasma cytokine levels.

AB - BACKGROUND: Prone positioning (PP) improves oxygenation and may provide a benefit in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This approach adds significant challenges to patients in intensive care by limiting access to the endotracheal or tracheostomy tube and vascular access. PP also significantly complicates burn care by making skin protection and wound care more difficult. We hypothesize that PP improves oxygenation and can be performed safely in burn patients with ARDS. METHODS: PP was implemented in a burn intensive care unit for 18 patients with severe refractory ARDS. The characteristics of these patients were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the impact of PP on Pao2:FiO2 ratio (PFR) during the first 48 hours of therapy. Each patient was considered his or her own control before initiation of PP, and trends in PFR were evaluated with one-way analysis of variance. Secondary measures of complications and mortality were also evaluated. RESULTS: Mean PFR before PP was 87 (±38) with a mean sequential organ failure assessment score of 11 (±4). PFR improved during 48 hours in 12 of 14 survivors (p < 0.05). Mean PFR was 133 (±77) immediately after PP, 165 (±118) at 6 hours, 170 (±115) at 12 hours, 214 (±126) at 24 hours, 236 (±137) at 36 hours, and 210 (±97) at 48 hours. At each measured time interval except the last, PFR significantly improved. There were no unintended extubations. Facial pressure ulcers developed in four patients (22%). Overall, 14 survived 48 hours (78%), 12 survived 28 days (67%), and six survived to hospital discharge (33%). CONCLUSIONS: PP improves oxygenation in burn patients with severe ARDS and was safely implemented in a burn intensive care unit. Mortality in this population remains high, warranting investigation into additional complementary rescue therapies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic study, level IV.

AB - U.S. Army soldiers spend months at a time working in austere environments during deployments. The numerous physical demands placed on them during deployment can lead to musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries account for the majority of medical evacuations and lost duty days, seriously affecting mission readiness. Because of limited electronic injury data, little research has been done on physical demands associated with injury in deployed environments. To this end, this study conducted a survey on 263 soldiers in a Stryker Brigade Combat Team during their third month of deployment to Afghanistan. In the third month, 23% sustained an injury and 43% of injuries affected the low-back, shoulder, or knee. Dismounted patrolling and lifting were reported to account for 36% of injuries. Wearing heavy loads and lifting tasks were identified as injury risk factors. Wearing heavier equipment and lifting objects higher may increase physical demands and may result in injury.

AB - Context: Individuals with low back pain (LBP) are thought to benefit from interventions that improve motor control of the lumbopelvic region. It is unknown if therapeutic exercise can acutely facilitate activation of lateral abdominal musculature. Objective: To investigate the ability of 2 types of bridging-exercise progressions to facilitate lateral abdominal muscles during an abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) in individuals with LBP. Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: 51 adults (mean ± SD age 23.1 ± 6.0 y, height 173.6 ± 10.5 cm, mass 74.7 ± 14.5 kg, and 64.7% female) with LBP. All participants met 3 of 4 criteria for stabilization-classification LBP or at least 6 best-fit criteria for stabilization classification. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to either traditional-bridge progression or suspension-exercise-bridge progression, each with 4 levels of progressive difficulty. They performed 5 repetitions at each level and were progressed based on specific criteria. Main Outcome Measures: Muscle thickness of the external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and transversus abdominis (TrA) was measured during an ADIM using ultrasound imaging preintervention and postintervention. A contraction ratio (contracted thickness:resting thickness) of the EO, IO, and TrA was used to quantify changes in muscle thickness. Results: There was not a significant increase in EO (F1,47 = 0.44, P = .51) or IO (F1,47 = .30, P = .59) contraction ratios after the exercise progression. There was a significant (F1,47 = 4.05, P = .05) group-bytime interaction wherein the traditional-bridge progression (pre = 1.55 ± 0.22; post = 1.65 ± 0.21) resulted in greater (P = .03) TrA contraction ratio after exercise than the suspension-exercise-bridge progression (pre = 1.61 ± 0.31; post = 1.58 ± 0.28). Conclusion: A single exercise progression did not acutely improve muscle thickness of the EO and IO. The magnitude of change in TrA muscle thickness after the traditional-bridging progression was less than the minimal detectable change, thus not clinically significant.

AB - OBJECTIVE: : In adults, early traumatic coagulopathy and shock are both common and independently associated with mortality. There are little data regarding both the incidence and association of early coagulopathy and shock on outcomes in pediatric patients with traumatic injuries. Our objective was to determine whether coagulopathy and shock on admission are independently associated with mortality in children with traumatic injuries. METHODS: : A retrospective review of the Joint Theater Trauma Registry from U.S. combat support hospitals in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2002 to 2009 was performed. Coagulopathy was defined as an international normalized ratio of >=1.5 and shock as a base deficit of >=6. Laboratory values were measured on admission. Primary outcome was inhospital mortality. Univariate analyses were performed on all admission variables followed by reverse stepwise multivariate logistic regression to determine independent associations. SETTING: : Combat support hospitals in Iraq and Afghanistan. PATIENTS: : Patients <18 yrs of age with Injury Severity Score, international normalized ratio, base deficit, and inhospital mortality were included. Of 1998 in the cohort, 744 (37%) had a complete set of data for analysis. INTERVENTION: : None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: : The incidence of early coagulopathy and shock were 27% and 38.3% and associated with mortality of 22% and 16.8%, respectively. After multivariate logistic regression, early coagulopathy had an odds ratio of 2.2 (95% confidence interval 1.1-4.5) and early shock had an odds ratio of 3.0 (95% confidence interval 1.2-7.5) for mortality. Patients with coagulopathy and shock had an odds ratio of 3.8 (95% confidence interval 2.0-7.4) for mortality. CONCLUSIONS: : In children with traumatic injuries treated at combat support hospitals, coagulopathy and shock on admission are common and independently associated with a high incidence of inhospital mortality. Future studies are needed to determine whether more rapid and accurate methods of measuring coagulopathy and shock as well as if early goal-directed treatment of these states can improve outcomes in children.

AB - Objective: A military multitasking environment was simulated to examine the effects of an intelligent agent, RoboLeader, on the performance of robotics operators.Background: The participants' task was to manage a team of ground robots with the assistance of RoboLeader, an intelligent agent capable of coordinating the robots and changing their routes on the basis of battlefield developments.Method: In the first experiment, RoboLeader was perfectly reliable; in the second experiment, RoboLeader's recommendations were manipulated to be either false-alarm prone or miss prone, with a reliability level of either 60% or 90%. The visual density of the targeting environment was manipulated by the presence or absence of friendly soldiers.Results: RoboLeader, when perfectly reliable, was helpful in reducing the overall mission times.The type of RoboLeader imperfection (false-alarm vs. miss prone) affected operators' performance of tasks involving visual scanning (target detection, route editing, and situation awareness). There was a consistent effect of visual density (clutter of the visual scene) for multiple performance measures. Participants' attentional control and video gaming experience affected their overall multitasking performance. In both experiments, participants with greater spatial ability consistently outperformed their low-spatial-ability counterparts in tasks that required effective visual scanning.Conclusion: Intelligent agents, such as RoboLeader, can benefit the overall human-robot teaming performance. However, the effects of type of agent unreliability, tasking requirements, and individual differences have complex effects on human-agent interaction.Application: The current results will facilitate the implementation of robots in military settings and will provide useful data to designs of systems for multirobot control.

AB - Introduction: The coupling and timing of pro- and anti-inflammatory processes in skeletal muscle injury is poorly understood. We investigated the temporal response and regulated processes of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), p38, and IkappaB kinase (IKK) [alpha]/[beta] signaling pathways after traumatic injury. Methods: Traumatic freeze injury was delivered to the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle in C57BL/6J mice, and injured and uninjured TA muscles were analyzed 3-72 h into the recovery period. Results: Significant increases in pro-inflammatory cytokine transcription accompanied IKK[beta] phosphorylation, robust ERK pathway activation, and reduced heat shock protein (Hsp) protein expression at 3-24 h. At 24 h, ERK activation was abolished concomitantly with a significant increase in mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1). After 24 h, cytokine transcription along with ERK1/2 and IKK[beta] phosphorylation remained suppressed, whereas Hsp protein expression rose to significant levels by 72 h and associated with IKK[beta]. Conclusions: Results indicate a bimodal regulation of ERK1/2 in acute inflammation in which it is supportive from 3 to 24 h, and suppressive from 24 to 72 h. Muscle Nerve, 2012.

AB - Background: Although upper extremity (UE) closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises have become commonplace in most rehabilitation programs, a clinically meaningful UE CKC functional test of unilateral ability has continued to be elusive. Objectives: To examine reliability of the Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT), evaluate the effects of arm dominance on UQYBT performance, and to determine how the UQYBT is related to specific components of the test (trunk rotation, core stability and UE function and performance) in a college-aged population.Methods: A sample of healthy college students performed the UQYBT and a series of 6 additional dynamic tests designed to assess trunk rotation, core stability, and UE performance. The relationship of these tests compared to the UQYBT was assessed. The effect of upper limb dominance for the UQYBT was also explored. Finally, test re-test reliability was established for the UQYBT. Results: Thirty subjects (24 males, 6 females, mean ages 19.5 ± 1.2 and 18.8 ± 0.8 years) were assessed during the study. The test re-test reliability was excellent for UQYBT measurements (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.9). A significant (p <0.05) fair to moderate association was observed between the UQYBT and several core stability and UE functional tests. There was no significant difference in UQYBT performance between dominant and non-dominant limbs. Discussion: The UQYBT is a reliable UE CKC test that can be used to assess unilateral UE function in a closed chain manner. The UQYBT appears to be most related to dynamic tests involving core stability and UE performance. Similarity on the UQYBT between dominant and non-dominant limbs indicates that performance on this test using a noninjured UE may serve as a reasonable measure for "normal" when testing an injured UE. Future research is needed to determine the clinical applicability of the UQYBT. Level of Evidence: 2b

AB - In response to an apparent clustering of homicides at Fort Carson, Colorado, the U.S. Army Public Health Command (formerly the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine) Behavioral and Social Health Outcomes Program conducted a multidisciplinary epidemiologic consultation to identify factors contributing to violent behavior among soldiers at Fort Carson. This article summarizes the findings of the epidemiologic consultation report as provided to the Secretary of the Army and the Fort Carson Senior Mission Commander and released in its entirety publicly July 2009 and elaborates on the mixed-methods analytic approach used to study a complex behavioral issue at the community level. To aid in answering the key study questions, six study arms were designed and carried out: (1) index case analysis, (2) confinee interviews, (3) analysis of installation-level trends, (4) retrospective cohort analysis, (5) soldier focus groups and interviews, and (6) aggression risk factors survey. Although not conclusive, the findings suggest a combination of individual, unit, and environmental factors converged to increase the risk of violent behaviors, which made clustering of negative outcomes more likely.

AB - Hardwick, Vt., having experienced 10 ice-jam floods in 30 years, has not experienced one since construction of a sloped-block ice-control structure (ICS) in 1994. This innovative structure consists of four sloped granite blocks spaced across the Lamoille River upstream of the village and adjacent to a treed floodplain. It arrests ice runs, forms partially grounded jams, and retains these jams for hours to days. The measured ice-hydraulic characteristics of the breakup runs and resulting ice jams (e.g., wave celerities and amplitudes, porous-flow seepage coefficients) are similar to characteristics obtained from the 1:10-scale model tests used to develop the structure. Seepage coefficients, and hence jam porosities, generally increase with increasing discharge, and only two breakup events have caused floodplain flow. Water temperatures of 0.1–0.3°C measured during a breakup event confirm that ice melting can account for the rate of porosity increase. Field and model data indicate that ice-jam holding time and jam-release discharge increase with increasing ice-piece thickness to a threshold of 6–7% of ICS gap width, beyond which no releases occur. Consistency between prototype and model ice-hydraulic characteristics and ice-holding capacity reinforce the conclusion that the sloped-block ICS can reliably retain ice jams during breakup events that pose the greatest flood threat: thick, strong ice, and large breakup waves. This ice-retention behavior can account for the observed reduction in ice-jam flooding in Hardwick during the past 11 seasons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The objectives of the research reported in this paper were to monitor and document the rapid bridge deck replacement work of the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) on two bridges in Gainesville, Ga., and two bridges in Atlanta. Documentation of the GDOT work included a time sequence, deck replacement square footage per work period, total construction time, typical work period construction tasks, and photographic display/discussion of the deck replacement work. The precast exodermic deck panel system used by the GDOT provided an excellent means for rapid bridge deck replacement while under staged construction/concurrent traffic conditions. The GDOT work was completed within the imposed time limits while maintaining minimum traffic interruption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In January 2006, Roger Wertheimer, Jeff McMahan, and I presented our arguments about the moral equality (or inequality, as McMahan prefers) of combatants at the Joint Services Conference on Professional Ethics (the conference name has since changed to International Symposium for Military Ethics). The essays that grew out of that discussion are presented in this issue of JME. I argue that combatants on any side of a conflict are moral equals. Two fundamental perspectives inform my argument, the first having to do with social contract theory and the second having to do with the ignorance of combatants with respect to the justice of their nations' wars. Individuals give over to the sovereign their right to use force: they may not seek vengeance in the domestic arena nor are they permitted to wage private wars. As such, it seems inconsistent to demand that the soldier relinquish to the state the authority and responsibility to use violence, and at the same time to condemn her for doing so. It also seems extraordinarily unreasonable to expect combatants really to know, in the relevant sense, the justice of the war. If, as is the case with the current war in Iraq, the so-called cognoscenti disagree about the morality of the war, then it would be almost indecent to suggest that combatants could have the sort of knowledge that would render them morally culpable.

AB - Nielsen's article asks the simple, but profound question: what should government leaders think about as they decide whether or not to go to war? Typically our response to this question draws upon some aspect of Clausewitz. This is hardly surprising given that he is one of the foremost military theorists of all time, and is famous for stating that "war is merely the continuation of politics by other means." One could easily derive from this statement the idea that war is a tool of policy just like any other. However, Nielsen takes issue with this orthodox and amoral view and argues that this interpretation of Clausewitz is misleading and incomplete. Though Clausewitz asserts that war is an instrument of policy, he also sees warfare as a unique form of human interaction. Clausewitz recognized that the cost of war to individuals, communities and societies could be horrendous. Political and military leaders should not deceive themselves, but should recognize that war is a brutal and bloody activity. Only with a full appreciation of the costs and risks would leaders take an approach likely to maximize benefits and minimize the perils of a military undertaking. This article explores Clausewitz's perspective on the moral issues that war inevitably raises by addressing two main questions. First, what views does Clausewitz express on the role of ethical considerations in war? Second, should the statesman's actions in international politics be guided by morality? Whilst it is recognised that Clausewitz does prioritize state interests over moral considerations, he would be the first to remind political leaders of war's uncertainty and inevitable costs. In addition, Clausewitz's approach leaves open the possibility that state interests can vary over time in ways that expand opportunities for moral action beyond those he saw in his time.

AB - The early detection and accurate localization of threatening sounds is vital for the survival of military personnel. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the detection, localization, and response time to an M-16 rifle magazine insertion click in three background conditions: jungle, pink, and ambient noise. The level of the click varied from -18 to 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Reported results indicate that detection rates of 50, 70, and 100% required SNRs of –6 to –12, –3, and 0 dB, respectively. Localization accuracy of 50 and 80% within a ±15° angle required SNRs of about –6 and 0 dB, respectively; 100% accuracy was never achieved. Response time was about 2.0—2.5 s for high SNRs but increased gradually at poorer SNRs. The military relevance of the reported findings is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The performance of 14 soldiers was evaluated during 3 hr of simulated sentry duty when (a) the primary work rate was varied and (b) participants were required to intermittently perform a simple secondary task. Performance measurements included latency to detect a target, number of correct target detections, correct friend versus foe identification, targets hit, and latency to respond to the presentation of a continuous tone (secondary task). Activity monitors measured motor activity during study participation. During higher work rate sessions, participants responded to the appearance of a target more quickly, discriminated friend from foe more accurately, and hit more foe targets. The addition of a simple auditory task to the primary task did not affect performance on any of the sentry duty measures. These findings demonstrated that moderate increases in task engagement, or work rate, improved most performance metrics on a long duration (3-hr), militarily relevant vigilance task.

AB - Interpersonal skills are listed as 1 of the 7 critical skills for soldiers in the future (Cox, DeRoche, & Leibrecht, 2001) and they are highly important for success in special operations specialties such as Special Forces as well as for success in leadership positions. Factor analytic research of performance dimensions supports the concept that interpersonal task performance is a unique dimension of performance (e.g., Distefano & Pryer, 1986; Pulakos, Borman, & Hough, 1988). Latent models of job performance, however, have not necessarily separated the technical dimension of task performance from an interpersonal dimension of task performance (e.g. Campbell, McCloy, Oppler, & Sager, 1993). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to compare the fit of the Campbell et al. (1993) model with a modified model that also included an interpersonal task performance dimension. Results demonstrated that inclusion of a unique latent dimension for interpersonal task performance improved the fit of the model to data from a job with a high requirement for interpersonal performance. The implications of these results for understanding and summarizing performance are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Predictive models of battlefield physical performance can benefit the military. To develop models, 32 physically trained men (mean ± SD: 28.0 ± 4.7 years, 82.1 ± 11.3 kg, 176.3 ± 7.5 cm) underwent ( 1 ) anthropometric measures: height and body mass; (2) fitness tests: push-ups, sit-ups, 3.2-km run, vertical, jump, horizontal jump; (3) simulated battlefield physical performance in fighting load: five 30-m sprints prone to prone, 400-m run, obstacle course, and casualty recovery. Although greater body mass was positively associated with better casualty recovery performance, it showed trends toward poorer performance on all the other fitness and military performance tests. Regression equations well predicted the simulated battlefield performance from the anthropometric measures and physical fitness tests (r = 0.77-0.82). The vertical jump entered all four prediction equations and the horizontal jump entered one of them. The equations, using input from easy to administer tests, effectively predict simulated battlefield physical performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Despite the importance of military leaders in moderating the impact of deployment stressors on unit members, little attention has focused on the training leaders receive in managing unit stress. As part of a NATO Research Panel (Human Factors and Medicine (HFM)-081/Research and Technology Organization Task Group (RTG), 16 nations participated in a needs assessment survey of military leaders who had returned from an operation within the previous 2 years. Findings from 172 leaders emphasized the lack of training specifically geared for leaders to address operational stress issues for trait members and their families and the need for integrated mental health support across the deployment cycle. In general, most leaders regarded stress-related mental health problems as normal and were supportive of help-seeking. The information obtained here was used to develop a Human Factors and Medicine -081/RTG Leader's Guide on operational stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A cross-sectional study of 432 army college students comprising 278 medical cadets and 154 nursing students, ages ranging from 15 to 26 years, was conducted in 2001 to determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) antibody. Serum specimens were tested for HAV antibody by a commercial enzyme immunoassay method. Anti-HAV was detected in 14.0%, 17.5%, and 15.3% of medical cadets, nursing students, and the total cohort, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in seroprevalence between medical cadets and nursing students. Increasing prevalence of HAV correlated with increasing age. Significantly higher seroprevalence was detected in students from provinces outside of Bangkok compared to those who were from Bangkok (18.7% vs. 9.8%). The highest HAV seroprevalence was observed in subjects from the northeastern region of Thailand, suggesting that this region may be associated with greater risk for infection and should be the focus of preventive health strategies.

AB - The purpose of this study was to identify levels and predictors of patient satisfaction and develop a conceptual model for dental patient satisfaction in military treatment facilities. Respondents completed 658,443 surveys during 17 fiscal quarters, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2000. The final data set contained 309,261 surveys, with no missing data. Principal component factor analysis was used for data reduction and hierarchical multiple linear regression to assess the predictive effects of the dependent variables on the two independent variables: (1) overall satisfaction with today's visit and (2) overall satisfaction with the clinic. On a 7-point, bipolar adjective rating scale, patients' mean score was 6.53 regarding satisfaction with visit, suggesting that patients are highly satisfied. Patients' beliefs about care received and environment of care were the most important satisfaction attributes. These findings are useful in educating providers about the relationship of consumer satisfaction with the interpersonal experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Adenovirus-associated acute respiratory disease (AARD) is well documented in the U.S. military, but little information is readily available on its occurrence in other healthy populations that might also benefit from adenovirus vaccines. We reviewed publications on AARD in non-U.S, military, immunocompetent, young adults in group-living settings. Since adenovirus disease can be severe in immunocompromised and pediatric patients, we also considered AARD in health care workers. We evaluated 83 publications, published between 1950 and 2005, concerning 22 countries. Most described outbreaks in foreign military recruits and were published before 1970. More recent reports documented outbreaks in student dormitories and medical facilities. The 83 reports did not provide evidence for AARD being a serious, persistent, contemporary concern in the populations studied, nor did they identify strong interest in adenovirus vaccines. Currently availability, sensitive, molecular diagnostic tests may better define the importance of AARD in populations outside the U.S. military. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - We investigated the impact of a customized alcohol-based instant hand sanitizer hand-hygiene regimen in an Army basic training setting. The entire population at the U.S. Army Field Artillery Training Center, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, participated in the 13-week prospective cohort study between January 18, 2005 and April 18, 2005. Two training battalions were randomly assigned to the control group, one to the primary intervention group (customized Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer regimen, education, reinforcement) and one to the secondary intervention group (customized Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer regimen). When compared to the control group, intervention groups experienced 40% less respiratory illness (p < 0.001), 48% less gastrointestinal illness (p < 0.02), 44% less lost training time (p < 0.001), and 31% fewer health care encounters (p < 0.001). These findings suggest that this intervention is capable of significantly reducing illness in this setting and has the potential to help reduce absenteeism in the military workforce as a whole.

AB - The efficacy of ultraviolet C (UVC) light (100-280 nm) in the decontamination of three hospital-related surfaces, namely, unpainted/ painted aluminum (bed railings), stainless steel (operating tables), and scrubs (laboratory coats), was investigated. Acinetobacter baumannii cells were inoculated (105 or 10³ cells) on small coupons and dried overnight in a class II biosafety cabinet. Drying resulted in ≤50% loss of viability. The UVC fluence of 90 J/m² was observed to be very effective in the decontamination of cells from all metal coupon surfaces (complete killing). However, the same fluence was ineffective in the decontamination of scrubs. The effectiveness of two other common disinfection practices, that is, 15 minutes of boiling or spraying with 70% ethanol, was investigated for the scrubs. Although ethanol treatment was ineffective, the boiling treatment was very effective (complete killing). These results establish that metal surfaces can be decontaminated with UVC irradiation and boiling treatment is effective for scrub decontamination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Introduction: The U.S. Army 28th Combat Support Hospital (CSH), an echelon III facility, deployed to Iraq at the start of military operations in 2003. Shortly after arrival, it was designated as the hospital primarily responsible for burn care for the U.S. military in Iraq. This report reviews the experience of the CSH with burn care during combat operations. Methods: An after-action review was conducted during a 2-day period after the hospital's redeployment. Results: Between April 11, 2003, and August 21, 2003, the 28th CSH treated a total of 7,920 patients, of whom 103 (1.3%) had burns. Patients included U.S. and allied service members, U.S. contractors, and Iraqi prisoners of war and civilians. Although a CSH is designed to care for patients until they can be stabilized and evacuated, usually within 1 to 3 days, the length of stay for some Iraqi patients was as long as 53 days. Definitive care, including excision and grafting of the burn wound, was thus required for some Iraqi patients. The largest graft completed comprised 40% of the total body surface area. The largest burn survived involved ~65% of the total body surface area. Eighteen (17%) of 103 patients returned to duty after treatment at the 28th CSH. The mortality rate for burn patients at the 28th CSH was 8%. Shortages of burn-experienced personnel and burn-specific supplies were identified during the after-action review. Conclusions: The CSH provided complex definitive care to burn patients in an austere environment. Predeployment identification of military field hospitals for such specialized missions, with early assignment of experienced personnel and materiel to these units, may improve future wartime burn care.

AB - The purpose of medical situational awareness is to provide useful and actionable information for preparing and employing medical assets in support of a wide variety of operational missions around the world, and monitoring and protecting the health of the force in the face of rapidly changing health threats. Since 2005, the Medical Situational Awareness in the Theater Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration has exploited advances in information technology, geographic information systems, and open systems architecture to produce a functioning prototype of a medical situational enhancement capability. In May 2006, this prototype supported the medical staff of a combined/joint task force in a realistic command postexercise featuring a simulated outbreak of influenza during Exercise COBRA GOLD in Thailand. The proliferation and maturation of geographic information systems present many opportunities for the military medical community to improve the health of the populations for which it is responsible.

AB - Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of suicides among U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy recruits from 1980 through 2004. Methods: Recruit suicides were identified through the Department of Defense Recruit Mortality Registry. We calculated crude, category-specific, and age-adjusted mortality rates as deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. Results: There were 46 onsite suicides by gunshot (39%), hanging (35%), fall/jump (22%), and drug overdose (4%). An additional 20 recruits committed suicide from 1980 through 2004 after leaving the military training site. Methods included gunshot (70%), hanging (20%), fall/jump (5%), and poisoning (5%). Therefore, the overall recruit suicide rate was 6.9 (95% confidence interval = 5.4-8.8) deaths per 100,000 recruit-years. Only three (5%) suicides occurred among females resulting in a 3.5 times higher risk for males compared to females (95% confidence interval = 1.1-11.2). Conclusions: Suicide rates among military recruits were lower than those of comparably aged U.S. civilians. However, the occurrence of any suicide during basic military training emphasizes the importance of routine evaluation of the effectiveness of each military service's suicide prevention program as it applies to this population.

AB - This study describes injury rates, injury diagnoses, anatomical locations of injuries, limited duty days, and activities associated with injuries in a sample of Army mechanics. Medical records of 518 male and 43 female Army mechanics were screened for injuries during 1 year at a large U.S. Army installation. Weight, height, age, and ethnicity were also extracted from the medical records. Body mass index was calculated as weight/height². Overall injury rates for men and women were 124 and 156 injuries/100 person-years, respectively, with a rate of 127 injuries/100 person-years for all soldiers combined. Women had higher overuse injury rates while men had higher traumatic injury rates. Limited duty days for men and women were 2,076 and 1,966 days/100 person-years, respectively. The lower back, knee, ankle, foot, and shoulder involved 61% of the injuries. Activities associated with injury included (in order of incidence) physical training, mechanical work, sports, airborne-related activities, road marching, garrison/home activities, and chronic conditions. Among the men, elevated injury risk was associated with higher body weight and higher body mass index. It may be possible to prevent many injuries by implementation of evidenced-based interventions currently available in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The purpose of this study was to describe validity and reliability of a skills-based test (the Semi-Annual Combat Medic Skills-Validation Test) used by the Army to determine combat medic competency. An instrumentation design was used in which a panel of experts completed a content validity index on all skills. Simulation testing was used to determine criterion validity, intrarater, interrater, and test-retest reliability. Findings revealed that needle chest decompression, Combitube insertion, and automatic external defibrillator were the only skills with low validity (content validity index ≤ 0.75). Splinting was recommended as an addition to the skill test. The validity criterion of a modified postcourse Emergency Medical Technician-Basic examination score was significantly related to the Semi-Annual Combat Medic Skills-Validation Test scores (r = 0.409, p = 0.006, two tailed). There was high intra- and inter-rater agreement on performance steps and skills. Higher subject scores were seen on the medical skills than on the trauma skills. When retested, there was significant improvement (t - 3.268, df = 7, p < 0.014, two tailed). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: The U.S. military immunizes new recruits against hepatitis A. Since 2001, immunization with the hepatitis A vaccine has been recommended for civilian adolescents in higher risk areas. Recently, the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board recommended serologic screening where feasible to reduce redundant recruit immunizations. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine hepatitis A seroprevalence in recruit populations to inform screening policy. Methods: Banked serum from a sample of military recruits (n = 2,592) in 2004 was tested for total antibody to hepatitis A (anti-hepatitis A virus (HAV)). Results: The overall anti-HAV seroprevalence was 12.0% (95% confidence interval, 10.8%-13.3%). Adjusted to the age distribution of the 18- to 34-year-old population, the seroprevalence was 11,9% (10.5%-I3.4%). The lowest seroprevalence was noted in the 1984 birth cohort, with significantly higher seroprevalence among younger recruits. Conclusions: Rising hepatitis A immunity among successive birth cohorts suggests increasing compliance with immunization recommendations. In anticipation of rising population immunity, universal screening of military recruits for anti-HAV is recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Exoantigens released by Leishmania promastigotes were the subject of a workshop held in Mombasa, Kenya. Investigators from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (Silver Spring, Maryland) met with scientists from government and academic institutes and industry to review the current global status of leishmaniasis and to explore the potential role of exoantigens In the detection of Leishmania in the vertebrate host and arthropod vector. Some encouraging data. particularly in the immunodiagnosis of leishmaniasis, were shared. The participants concluded that the meeting provided a unique opportunity for Investigators working on various aspects of the problem to network and to forge productive collaborations that could potentially lead to the development of more-effective tools to counter this persistent and expanding threat. They recommended periodic meetings to assess interval progress, to revise timelines, and to set achievable goals. The meeting also highlighted the importance of Leishmanin infection in the 21st century, with more movement of people from disease-endemic to non-disease-endemic countries. Increased incidence and geographic spread of leishmaniasis emphasize the need for better and more reliable detection methods. Exoantigen-based diagnostic devices hold promise in this direction.

AB - Military surgical field hospitals are frequently deployed for humanitarian missions. Current Department of Defense doctrine and World Health Organization policy question the appropriateness of their use, because the majority of patients require nonsurgical care. We describe our experiences during the deployment of a mobile army surgical hospital in response to the October 8, 2005, earthquake in Pakistan. More than 20,000 patients received care during a 4-month period. An initially high surgical workload quickly decreased while the volume of primary care patients increased, eventually accounting for 90% of patient visits. Our experience supports deploying primary care-oriented units for humanitarian missions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The purpose of this study was to describe knowledge in managing musculoskeletal conditions among physical therapists in the uniformed services based on their educational background and preparation. A cross-sectional design was used. A total of 182 physical therapists in the uniformed services completed a standardized examination that assesses knowledge in managing musculoskeletal conditions. Physical therapists in the uniformed services who graduated from the U.S. Army-Baylor Doctoral Program in Physical Therapy or had attended a specific continuing medical education course that emphasizes the management of musculoskeletal conditions achieved higher scores and passing rates than their colleagues who had not. Compared with previously published data, physical therapists in the uniformed services demonstrated higher scores than medical students, physician interns and residents, active duty military physicians, and all physician specialists except for orthopedists, Physical therapists in the uniformed services have the requisite knowledge to provide direct access for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. These data may have implications for health and public policy decisions within the military health care system related to the utilization and educational preparation of physical therapists in the uniformed services.

AB - These tests were conducted to develop a database that could be used to assess risks to soldiers from exposure to aerosolized metallic particulates when the crew compartment of an Abrams tank is perforated by a kinetic energy penetrator. Quantitative data are reported for aerosols produced by kinetic energy penetrators containing tungsten, nickel, and cobalt. The following are addressed: (1) concentrations and rates of particle settling inside the vehicle, (2) particle size distribution, (3) inhalable and respirable particulates, (4) distribution of aerosol particles by mass, and (5) particle shapes. The scenario described in this report simulates a rare occurrence. The lessons learned, however, highlight a requirement for developing protocols for analyses of metals in body fluids and urine as soon as practical, and also for implementing targeted postdeployment medical surveillance programs that monitor both body burden for respired metals and pulmonary function.

AB - The Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE), developed by the Department of Defense Global Emerging Infections System (DOD-GEIS), actively analyzes syndromic groupings from electronic International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision data as a proxy for early disease outbreak detection. This study compares International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, data and emergency room records from three hospitals to determine the accuracy of data in ESSENCE. Of 2,474 records reviewed, inter-reviewer variability illustrated excellent consistency, ranging from 0.87 to 1.0. Gastrointestinal disease had the highest overall sensitivity (89.0%) and specificity (96.0%), likely due to less overlap with other groups, unlike the respiratory (sensitivity, 65.7%; specificity, 95.6%) and fever (sensitivity, 69.4%: specificity, 95.5%) groups, where symptoms of both are often seen in the same patient. This study concludes that data used by ESSENCE is accurate and reflects the types of patient visits to these facilities: valuable information for public health decision makers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Dengue virus universal and serotype 1 to 4 fluorogenic probe hydrolysis, reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays and positive-control RNA template were freeze-dried in a thermally stable, hydrolytic enzyme-resistant format and deployed for testing in a dengue fever-endemic region of Thailand. The study site presented austere testing conditions. Held-collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes spiked with inoculated A. aegypti mosquitoes and individual and pooled, field-collected, A. aegypti, A. albopictus, and Culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes were used for RT-PCR assay evaluations. For dengue virus-inoculated A. aegypti mosquitoes and spiked samples, in vitro sensitivity and specificity results for all five assays were concordant with indirect fluorescent antibody assay results. A single pool of field-collected, female, A. aegypti mosquitoes was identified as dengue virus positive. Cross-reactivity was not observed across heterologous serotypes, mosquito vectors, or human DNA. The limit of detection was >7 to ≤70 genomic equivalents. Sample processing and analysis required <2 hours. These results show promise of field-formatted RT-PCR reagents fur rapid, sensitive, specific dengue virus screening and serotype identification in mosquitoes under field-deployed conditions.

AB - Critically injured patients are at risk for hypothermia. This study determined the efficacy of three hypothermia prevention strategies: the ChillBuster warming blanket, ChillBuster with a reflective blanket, and two wool blankets. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare changes in core temperature. Following resuscitation from hypovolemic shock, 20 swine were assigned to one of the three interventions, placed in an environmental chamber set to reproduce in-flight conditions onboard a military cargo aircraft (50°F/airspeed 0.2 m/s), and monitored for 6 hours. A repeated measures analysis of variance and least-squared difference post hoc were performed. The ChillBuster/reflective blanket group was significantly warmer than the ChillBuster only group and the wool blanket group (p < 0.01). After 6 hours of cold exposure, the ChillBuster/reflective blanket group remained warm while the ChillBuster only and wool blanket groups developed mild hypothermia. Combined use of a warming blanket and reflective blanket was effective in preventing hypothermia over 6 hours and is feasible in a deployed military environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Reactive skin decontamination lotion (RSDL) is a proposed replacement for the existing skin and equipment decontamination kit. Because RSDL may need to he used to decontaminate wounded personnel, we conducted an assessment of the effect of this agent on wound healing. A skin incision model using male Sprague Dawley rats (n = 19 rats/group) was used. A 7.0-cm incision was made through the skin, and RSDL was (experimental group) or was not (control group) applied to the open wound; the wound edges were then approximated with sutures. Seven days later, animals were euthanized and wound samples were taken. Healing was assessed by measuring mechanical strength, collagen content, and histological appearance. RSDL-treated wounds had 23% lower tensile strength (p < 0.05) and 11% lower collagen content (p < 0.05) than did the untreated control wounds. Histological assessments did not differ significantly between groups. The results of this investigation demonstrate that the application of RSDL directly to an open wound impairs wound strength and decreases collagen content in the early phases of wound healing. This may have clinical implications for the treatment and outcomes of chemical casualty combat trauma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The effects of short-term oral creatine (Cr) supplementation on exercise performance and on blood pressure and renal function were assessed. Thirty-five healthy, active duty, U.S. Army volunteers (20 men and 15 women; age, 22-36 years) at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, supplemented their diet for 7 days with 20 g/day of either Cr or taurine (as placebo). There was no significant difference in 2-minute push-up counts between the Cr and taurine groups from before to after supplementation (p = 0.437; power = 0.98). The Cr group demonstrated a significant increase in serum creatinine levels (p < 0.001), compared with the taurine group, and this increase could be misinterpreted as impairment of renal function. No adverse changes in blood pressure, body composition, weight, or serum Cr phosphokinase levels were observed. We conclude that short-term Cr supplementation appears to be safe but does not enhance push-up performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study illustrates the feasibility of incorporating technical efficiency considerations in the funding of military hospitals and identifies the primary drivers for hospital costs. Secondary data collected for 24 U.S.-based Army hospitals and medical centers for the years 2001 to 2003 are the basis for this analysis. Technical efficiency was measured by using data envelopment analysis; subsequently, efficiency estimates were included in logarithmic-linear cost models that specified cost as a function of volume, complexity, efficiency, time, and facility type. These logarithmic-linear models were compared against stochastic frontier analysis models. A parsimonious, three-variable, logarithmic-linear model composed of volume, complexity, and efficiency variables exhibited a strong linear relationship with observed costs (R² = 0.98). This model also proved reliable in forecasting (R² = 0.96). Based on our analysis, as much as $120 million might be reallocated to improve the United States-based Army hospital performance evaluated in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Epidemiological studies often have to rely on a participant's self-reporting of information. The validity of the self-report instrument is an important consideration in any study. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the validity of self-reported Army Physical fitness Test (APFT) scores. The APFT is administered to all soldiers in the U.S. Army twice a year and consists of the maximum number of push-ups completed in 2 minutes, the maximum number of sit-ups completed in 2 minutes, and a 2-mile run for time. Army mechanics responded to a questionnaire in March and June 2004 asking them to report the exact scores of each event on their most recent APFT, Actual APFT scores were obtained from the soldier's military unit. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) of actual and self-reported numbers of push-ups was 61 ± 14 and 65 ± 13, respectively. The mean ± SD of actual and self-reported numbers of sit-ups were 68 ± 10 and 68 ± 10, respectively. The mean ± SD of actual and self-reported run times (minutes) were 14.8 ± 1.4 and 14.6 ± 1.4, respectively. Correlations between actual and self-reported push-ups, sit-ups, and run were 0.83, 0.71, and 0.85, respectively. On average, soldiers tended to slightly over-report performance on all APFT events and individual self-reported scores could vary widely from actual scores based on Bland-Airman plots. Despite this, the close correlations between the actual and self-reported scores suggest that self-reported values are adequate for most epidemiological military studies involving larger sample sizes.

AB - The purpose of this article was to review current dental emergency rates for U.S. Army personnel and to identify shortfalls in dental emergency research. The Department of Defense Dental Classification System is intended to identify military personnel at the greatest risk for dental emergencies, allowing military dental assets to prioritize dental treatment. Only two studies have been published on the emergency rates of U.S. Army Soldiers since 2000, both detailing emergency rates for Soldiers deployed to Bosnia. The Stabilization Force VII study identified that Soldiers experienced dental emergencies at a rate of 156 per 1,000 per year, whereas the Stabilization Force VIII study found the rate of 170 per 1,000 per year. No studies have been conducted for the Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom due to difficulty in capturing all dental treatment encounters. Researchers should attempt to standardize the nomenclature and definitions to aid in the comparability of future dental emergency rate studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Hearing deficiency is the condition for which accession medical waivers are most commonly granted. The retention of individuals entering service with a waiver for hearing deficiency has not been previously studied. Methods: Military retention among new enlistees with a medical waiver for hearing deficiency was compared with that among a matched comparison group of fully qualified enlistees. Comparisons according to branch of service over the first 3 years of service were performed with the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method and proportional-hazards model. Results: Army subjects had significantly lower retention rates than did their fully qualified counterparts. In the adjusted model, Army and Navy enlistees with a waiver for hearing deficiency had a significantly lower likelihood of retention than did their matched counterparts. Discussion: The increased likelihood of medical attrition in enlistees with a waiver for hearing loss provides no evidence to make the hearing accession standard more lenient and validates a selective hearing loss waiver policy.

AB - Much like their counterparts in private industry, federal medical officers, particularly preventive and occupational medicine physicians, must ensure a workforce fit to perform their duties. Meeting this objective often requires balancing competing interests between employers and employees. The medical examination is the method for protecting the government's interests in identifying federal civilian applicants and workers who are medically unqualified to perform their duties while also preventing discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. Scant published guidance on performing authorized medical examinations and analyzing the resultant information is available for federal medical officers. This is needed to foster an equitable, compliant decision for both federal employers and employees. Using the Department of Defense as an example, this article provides a legal road map for the practitioner by defining medical standards and physical requirements, discussing medical examinations, and examining disability determinations.

AB - Objective: Deployable medical systems patient conditions (PCs) designate groups of patients with similar medical conditions and, therefore, similar treatment requirements. PCs are used by the U.S. military to estimate field medical resources needed in combat operations. Information associated with each of the 389 PCs is based on subject matter expert opinion, instead of direct derivation from standard medical codes. Currently, no mechanisms exist to tie current or historical medical data to PCs. Our study objective was to determine whether reliable conversion between PC codes and International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnosis codes is possible. Methods: Data were analyzed for three professional coders assigning all applicable ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes to each PC code. Inter-rater reliability was measured by using Cohen's κ statistic and percent agreement. Methods were developed to calculate κ statistics when multiple responses could be selected from many possible categories. Results: Overall, we found moderate support for the possibility of reliable conversion between PCs and ICD-9-CM diagnoses (mean κ = 0.61). Conclusion: Current PCs should be modified into a system that is verifiable with real data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study describes injury and illness rates and some risk factors among soldiers from an armor division during a rotation at the National Training Center (Fort Irwin, California}. Soldiers from a brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division were involved in a 5-week training exercise at the National Training Center. Health care visits were systematically recorded by the unit medics. Of 4,101 men and 413 women who participated in the exercise, 504 soldiers (409 men and 95 women} sought medical care at the main support medical clinic or Weed Army Community Hospital. The rates of injury and illness visits were 1.2% and 0.6% per week for men and 2.3% and 2.2% per week for women, respectively. Women had twice the risk of an injury and 3.5 times the risk of an illness, compared with men. Compared with other branches, combat service support soldiers had higher rates of injuries and illnesses. Enlisted soldiers of lower rank (E1-E4) experienced higher injury and illness rates than did noncommissioned officers and commissioned officers. Musculoskeletal injuries, environmental conditions, and dermatological conditions accounted for most visits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The skew angle affects the geometry and design of a bridge in many ways. For example, skew angles greater than 20° will affect the bending moment and the shear force in an exterior beam. The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center performed a full-scale load test on a skewed railroad steel truss bridge at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, in July, 2007. The superstructure of the bridge was instrumented with 42 reusable strain transducers to accurately measure the structure's response to a 260 kip train engine. Analyses were carried out to determine the effect of the skew angle in that response. A three-dimensional finite-element model (FEM) was developed from the data collected during the load test. The measured internal axial forces compared satisfactorily with the results from the FEM analysis. After the calibration of the model, the results indicated that the skew angle decreased the internal axial forces by approximately 16%, which was comparable to current design practice.

AB - Prior to deployment, military personnel may experience a range of symptoms typically associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); however, the relationship of specific preexisting symptoms characteristic of PTSD to postdeployment PTSD symptoms is not well understood. This prospective study examined (a) pre- to postdeployment changes in reexperiencing, avoidance, numbing, and hyperarousal symptoms among Iraq-deployed military personnel, and (b) pre- to postdeployment associations among these symptom groupings. Seven-hundred and seventy-four U.S. Army soldiers completed the PTSD Checklist pre- and postdeployment to Iraq. Participants demonstrated increases in reexperiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal symptom severity but not in severity of numbing symptoms from pre- to postdeployment. Predeployment numbing was positively correlated with all postdeployment symptom clusters, and predeployment hyperarousal was positively correlated with postdeployment hyperarousal, reexperiencing, and numbing. Findings highlight the role of preexisting numbing and hyperarousal symptoms in the evolution of PTSD symptoms following trauma exposure. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).

AB - Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) has been classically employed as a rescue therapy for patients with respiratory failure not treatable with conventional mechanical ventilation alone. In recent years, however, the timing of ECMO initiation has been readdressed and ECMO is often started earlier in the time course of respiratory failure. Furthermore, some centers are starting to use ECMO as a first line of treatment, i.e., as an alternative to invasive mechanical ventilation in awake, non-intubated, spontaneously breathing patients with respiratory failure ("awake" ECMO). There is a strong rationale for this type of respiratory support as it avoids several side effects related to sedation, intubation, and mechanical ventilation. However, the complexity of the patient-ECMO interactions, the difficulties related to respiratory monitoring, and the management of an awake patient on extracorporeal support together pose a major challenge for the intensive care unit staff. Here, we review the use of vv-ECMO in awake, spontaneously breathing patients with respiratory failure, highlighting the pros and cons of this approach, analyzing the pathophysiology of patient-ECMO interactions, detailing some of the technical aspects, and summarizing the initial clinical experience gained over the past years.

AB - Readers mentally simulate the objects and events described in narratives. One common assumption is that readers mentally embody an actor's perspective; alternatively, readers might mentally simulate events from an external “onlooker” perspective. Two experiments examined the role of pronouns in modulating a reader's adopted perspective when comprehending simple event sentences. Experiment 1 demonstrated that readers embody an actor's perspective when the pronoun you or I is used, but take an external perspective when he is used. Experiment 2 , however, found that a short discourse context preceding the event sentence led readers to adopt an external perspective with the pronoun I. These experiments demonstrate that pronoun variation and discourse context mediate the degree of embodiment experienced during narrative comprehension: In all cases, readers mentally simulate objects and events, but they embody an actor's perspective only when directly addressed as the subject of a sentence.

AB - What makes life most worth living? The simplest summary of findings from the new field of positive psychology is that other people matter. It is within groups that we live, work, love, and play, and groups should therefore be a primary focus of researchers interested in health and well-being. In the present article, we propose morale as an important indicator of group well-being. We survey what is known about overall morale across a variety of groups: its meaning, measurement, enabling factors, and putative consequences. We sketch a future research agenda that would examine morale in multidimensional terms at both the individual and group levels and would pay particular attention to the positive outcomes associated with morale. Qu’est-ce qui fait que la vie vaut le plus la peine d’être vécue? Réduire à leur plus simple expression les résultats de ce nouveau domaine qu’est la psychologie positive revient à mentionner l’importance d’autrui. C’est dans des groupes que nous vivons, travaillons, aimons et jouons, et les groupes devraient donc être une préoccupation première pour les chercheurs concernés par la santé et le bien-être. Dans cet article, on avance l’idée que le moral est un indicateur majeur du bien-être des groupes. On recense ce qui est connu sur le moral en général dans divers types de groupes: sa signification, sa mesure, ses antécédents et ses conséquences supposées. On esquisse un futur programme de recherche qui appréhenderait le moral de façon multidimensionnelle aux niveaux à la fois individuel et groupal et accorderait une attention particulière aux retombées positives relevant du moral.

AB - The importance of identifying and fostering corporate "capabilities" has been confused with creating competencies. Competencies are unique products or services, often created in the R&D labs, which can penetrate existing markets. Capabilities are the operational ability to deliver those new products and services efficiently, repeatedly and in sufficient volume. Capabilities' and competencies are both required to successfully place a product in the market. These must also be supported by corporate resources to ensure longevity The importance of aligning competencies, capabilities and resources can be explained through the analogy of an axe blade splitting dense wood.

AB - The article discusses the evolution of innovation. In its native form, innovation starts with observation and experience. Someone notices something valuable and repeats the activity to repeat the rewards. This lead to practices that appear to capture the value noticed in observation. Practices, however, are very limited and not immediately extensible to other businesses, activities or products. Therefore, practices are soon extended into principles, which seem to generalize the important aspects of specific practices. When principles derive from historical data, models attempt to structure this knowledge so that it can be extrapolated to future applications. Finally, theory-based practices replace limited observations with limited theories in describing the most appropriate practices.

AB - This paper presents a comparative analysis of three different infrastructure assessment tools currently used by the U.S. Army’s combat engineer small units (squad, platoon, company). The infrastructure assessment tools included one pen and paper checklist and two software-based tools based on specialized handheld hardware for data collection in combat conditions. Evaluation was conducted using macroergonomic and applied cognitive task analysis methods with soldiers of varying levels of infrastructure assessment expertise. Each assessment method was evaluated based on performance (time, errors, and accuracy) and usability (ergonomic and cognitive challenges). We found that soldiers documented more accurate data using handheld digital devices instead of pen-and-paper assessment forms, but there was little difference in time between the methods. Contrary to initial expectation, we also found that most soldiers prefer a slightly more difficult to use handheld assessment device with customized checklists rather than an easier to use, less restrictive device. Critiques developed by this research can be used to improve engineering and construction organizations as well as add to our design guidelines for portable infrastructure assessment tools and methods.

AB - To perform effectively in complex mission environments, security personnel and leaders must be flexible and adaptable in responding to rapidly changing conditions. Psychological hardiness marks resilient people who maintain their health and performance despite stressful situations. The present study evaluates psychological hardiness at entry to West Point military academy as a predictor of leader performance and adaptability over time. Predictors also included Scholastic Aptitude Test ( SAT) scores, and a composite indicator of leader potential ( Whole Candidate Score) taken from admissions records. Using the Pulakos adaptability taxonomy as a guide, adaptability performance items were taken from a survey of graduates given 3 years after graduation. Also, military leadership grades as West Point seniors provided an index of traditional military performance. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that Whole Candidate Scores predict military leader performance at West Point, but not leader adaptability after graduation. However, hardiness predicts leader performance at West Point, and also leader adaptability (self- and supervisor ratings) after graduation. SAT scores and the challenge facet of hardiness are negative predictors of leader performance at West Point. Results indicate that while the traditional measures Whole Candidate Score predicts leader performance in the stable, highly regulated environment of West Point, it does not predict leader adaptability and performance in the uncertain environment of real-world operations. In contrast, psychological hardiness (commitment and control facets) measured as academy freshmen predicts leader adaptability in officers measured 7 years later. Psychological hardiness appears to be a promising factor in promoting the development of adaptability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Diffusive gradient in thin film (DGT) sediment probes for methylmercury (MMHg) were successfully deployed for up to 30 h in three mudflat sediments in San Francisco Bay for measuring labile fractions of dissolved MMHg in pore water. Our calculations show that the local DGT-induced depletion of MMHg in sediment pore waters should be fully compensated by the natural in situ MMHg production and its subsequent remobilization from the solid phase. DGT results were interpreted in terms of labile pore water concentration and provide MMHg concentration depth profiles with a centimeter resolution. Average concentrations of DGT-labile MMHg were 2.10 ± 0.29 and 1.64 ± 0.30 ng L-1 at China Camp and Hamilton Army Airfield sediment pore waters, respectively, while the riverine location at Petaluma showed a distinct peak of 7.1 ng L-1 near the sediment surface. Using isotope-enriched mercury species, high resolution depth profiles of MMHg net production rates ranging from 0.2 to 9.8 ng g-1 d-1 were obtained in parallel sediment cores sampled closely to DGT deployment sites. A positive, linear relationship between MMHg net production rates and labile MMHg concentrations acquired through DGT measurements was found and explained 79% of the variability in the data set. The latter illustrates that mercury methylation, a biogeochemical process, strongly affected the quantity of MMHg accumulated by the DGT device in the sediment and suggests that DGT measurements have the potential to predict net methylation rates.

AB - Abstract: 3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) is an energetic explosive proposed for use in weapon systems, to reduce the sensitivity of warheads. In order to develop toxicity data for safety assessment, we investigated the genotoxicity of NTO, using a battery of genotoxicity tests, which included the Ames test, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell chromosome aberration test, L5178Y TK+/− mouse lymphoma mutagenesis test and rat micronucleus test. NTO was not mutagenic in the Ames test or in Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA). NTO did not induce chromosomal aberrations in CHO cells, with or without metabolic activation. In the L5178Y TK+/− mouse lymphoma mutagenesis test, all of the NTO-treated cultures had mutant frequencies that were similar to the average frequencies of solvent control-treated cultures, indicating a negative result. Confirmatory tests for the three in vitro tests also produced negative results. The potential in vivo clastogenicity and aneugenicity of NTO was evaluated using the rat peripheral blood micronucleus test. NTO was administered by oral gavage to male and female Sprague–Dawley rats for 14 days at doses up to 2g/kg/day. Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood demonstrated no significant induction of micronucleated reticulocytes relative to the vehicle control (PEG-200). These studies reveal that NTO was not genotoxic in either in vitro or in vivo tests and suggest a low risk of genetic hazards associated with exposure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Climate change has the potential to impose severe stress on coastal environments. Alaskan coastlines are especially vulnerable to erosion and other changes that have led to significant damage and threats to infrastructure, human health and safety, and economic prosperity. This paper describes an integration of scenario analysis with multi-criteria decision analysis to prioritise the vulnerability of communities for the development of infrastructure protection and other actions. The approach allows stakeholders to account for uncertainty in the prioritisation and also includes value judgements of the multiple relevant stakeholders. We present a case study that evaluates several climate change scenarios and formulates metrics for finding scenarios that most impact priorities. Scenarios including sea-level rise, increased frequency of forest fires, permafrost melting, and others are used. We find the increased frequency of forest fires to be the most upsetting scenario along with four communities that are identified as highly vulnerable and not sensitive to the scenarios.

AB - Abstract: Production, usage and disposal of the munitions constituent (MC) cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) has led to environmental releases on military facilities. The chemical attributes of RDX are conducive for leaching to surface water which may put aquatic organisms at risk of exposure. Because RDX has been observed to cause aberrant neuromuscular effects across a wide range of animal phyla, we assessed the effects of RDX on central nervous system (CNS) functions in the representative aquatic ecotoxicological model species, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). We developed a fathead minnow brain-tissue cDNA library enriched for transcripts differentially expressed in response to RDX and trinitrotoluene (TNT) exposure. All 4,128 cDNAs were sequenced, quality filtered and assembled yielding 2230 unique sequences and 945 significant blastx matches (E ≤10−5). The cDNA library was leveraged to create custom-spotted microarrays for use in transcript expression assays. The impact of RDX on transcript expression in brain tissue was examined in fathead minnows exposed to RDX at 0.625, 2.5, 5, 10mg/L or an acetone-spike control for 10 days. Overt toxicity of RDX in fathead minnow occurred only at the highest exposure concentration resulting in 50% mortality and weight loss. Conversely, Bayesian analysis of microarray data indicated significant changes in transcript expression at concentrations as low as 0.625mg/L. In total, 154 cDNAs representing 44 unique transcripts were differentially expressed in RDX exposures, the majority of which were validated by reverse transcriptase-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Investigation of molecular pathways, gene ontology (GO) and individual gene functions affected by RDX exposures indicated changes in metabolic processes involved in: oxygen transport, neurological function, calcium binding/signaling, energy metabolism, cell growth/division, oxidative stress and ubiquitination. In total, our study indicated that RDX exposure affected molecular processes critical to CNS function in fathead minnow. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Quantification of emissions of fugitive particulate matter (PM) into the atmosphere from military training operations is of interest by the United States Department of Defense. A new range-resolved optical remote sensing (ORS) method was developed to quantify fugitive PM emissions from puff sources (i.e., artillery back blasts), ground-level mobile sources (i.e., movement of tracked vehicles), and elevated mobile sources (i.e., airborne helicopters) in desert areas that are prone to generating fugitive dust plumes. Real-time, in situ mass concentration profiles for PM mass with particle diameters <10 μm (PM10) and <2.5 μm (PM2.5) were obtained across the dust plumes that were generated by these activities with this new method. Back blasts caused during artillery firing were characterized as a stationary short-term puff source whose plumes typically dispersed to <10 m above the ground with durations of 10-30 s. Fugitive PM emissions caused by artillery back blasts were related to the zone charge and ranged from 51 to 463 g PM/firing for PM10 and 9 to 176 g PM/firing for PM2.5. Movement of tracked vehicles and flying helicopters was characterized as mobile continuous sources whose plumes typically dispersed 30-50 m above the ground with durations of 100-200 s. Fugitive PM emissions caused by moving tracked vehicles ranged from 8.3 to 72.5 kg PM/km for PM10 and 1.1 to 17.2 kg PM/km for PM2.5, and there was no obvious correlation between PM emission and vehicle speed. The emission factor for the helicopter flying at 3 m above the ground ranged from 14.5 to 114.1 kg PM/km for PM10 and 5.0 to 39.5 kg PM/km for PM2.5, depending on the velocity of the helicopter and type of soil it flies over. Fugitive PM emissions by an airborne helicopter were correlated with helicopter speed for a particular soil type. The results from this range-resolved ORS method were also compared with the data obtained with another path-integrated ORS method and a Flux Tower method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - In the event of a chemical terrorist attack on a transportation hub, post-event remediation and restoration activities necessary to attain unrestricted facility re-use and re-entry could require hours to multiple days. While timeframes are dependent on numerous variables, a primary controlling factor is the level of pre-planning and decision-making completed prior to chemical release. What follows is the second of a two-part analysis identifying key considerations, critical information and decision criteria to facilitate post-attack and post-decontamination consequence management activities. Decision criteria analysis presented here provides first-time, open-literature documentation of multi-pathway, health-based remediation exposure guidelines for selected toxic industrial compounds, chemical warfare agents, and agent degradation products for pre-planning application in anticipation of a chemical terrorist attack. Guideline values are provided for inhalation and direct ocular vapor exposure routes as well as percutaneous vapor, surface contact, and ingestion. Target populations include various employees as well as transit passengers. This work has been performed as a national case study conducted in partnership with the Los Angeles International Airport and The Bradley International Terminal. All recommended guidelines have been selected for consistency with airport scenario release parameters of a one-time, short-duration, finite airborne release from a single source followed by compound-specific decontamination.

AB - In the event of a chemical terrorist attack on a transportation hub, post-event remediation and restoration activities necessary to attain unrestricted facility re-use and re-entry could require hours to multiple days. While restoration timeframes are dependent on numerous variables, a primary controlling factor is the level of pre-planning and decision-making completed prior to chemical terrorist release. What follows is the first of a two-part analysis identifying key considerations, critical information, and decision criteria to facilitate post-attack and post-decontamination consequence management activities. A conceptual site model and human health-based exposure guidelines are developed and reported as an aid to site-specific pre-planning in the current absence of U.S. state or Federal values designated as compound-specific remediation or re-entry concentrations, and to safely expedite facility recovery to full operational status. Chemicals of concern include chemical warfare nerve and vesicant agents and the toxic industrial compounds phosgene, hydrogen cyanide, and cyanogen chloride. This work has been performed as a national case study conducted in partnership with the Los Angeles International Airport and The Bradley International Terminal. All recommended guidelines have been selected for consistency with airport scenario release parameters of a one-time, short-duration, finite airborne release from a single source followed by compound-specific decontamination.

AB - Abstract: Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were used to monitor metabolism changes in Clostridium acetobutylicum fermentations. When MFCs were inoculated with C. acetobutylicum, they generated a unique voltage output pattern where two distinct voltage peaks occurred over a weeklong period. This result was markedly different to previously studied organisms which usually generate one sustained voltage peak. Analysis of the fermentation products indicated that the dual voltage peaks correlated with glucose metabolism. The first voltage peak correlated with acidogenic metabolism (acetate and butyrate production) and the second peak with solventogenic metabolism (acetone and butanol production). This demonstrates that MFCs can be applied as a novel tool to monitor the shift from acid production to solvent production in C. acetobutylicum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: The unstructured-mesh SWAN spectral wave model and the ADCIRC shallow-water circulation model have been integrated into a tightly-coupled SWAN+ADCIRC model. The model components are applied to an identical, unstructured mesh; share parallel computing infrastructure; and run sequentially in time. Wind speeds, water levels, currents and radiation stress gradients are vertex-based, and therefore can be passed through memory or cache to each model component. Parallel simulations based on domain decomposition utilize identical sub-meshes, and the communication is highly localized. Inter-model communication is intra-core, while intra-model communication is inter-core but is local and efficient because it is solely on adjacent sub-mesh edges. The resulting integrated SWAN+ADCIRC system is highly scalable and allows for localized increases in resolution without the complexity or cost of nested meshes or global interpolation between heterogeneous meshes. Hurricane waves and storm surge are validated for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, demonstrating the importance of inclusion of the wave-circulation interactions, and efficient performance is demonstrated to 3062 computational cores.

AB - Planning for complex ecosystem restoration projects involves integrating ecological modeling with analysis of performance trade-offs among restoration alternatives. The authors used the Everglades Landscape Model and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis to explore the effect of simulated ecosystem performance, risk preferences, and criteria weights on the ranking of three alternatives to restoring overland sheet flow in the Everglades. The ecological model outputs included both hydrologic and water quality criteria. Results were scored in the decision analysis framework, highlighting the trade-offs between hydrologic restoration and water quality constraints. Given equal weighting of performance measures, the alternative with more homogenous sheet flow was preferred over other alternatives, despite evidence of some localized eutrophication risk.

AB - Planning and implementation of unprecedented projects for restoring the greater Everglades ecosystem are underway and the hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling of restoration alternatives has become essential for success of restoration efforts. In view of the complex nature of the South Florida water resources system, regional-scale (system-wide) hydrologic models have been developed and used extensively for the development of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. In addition, numerous subregional-scale hydrologic and hydrodynamic models have been developed and are being used for evaluating project-scale water management plans associated with urban, agricultural, and inland costal ecosystems. The authors provide a comprehensive summary of models of all scales, as well as the next generation models under development to meet the future needs of ecosystem restoration efforts in South Florida. The multiagency efforts to develop and apply models have allowed the agencies to understand the complex hydrologic interactions, quantify appropriate performance measures, and use new technologies in simulation algorithms, software development, and GIS/database techniques to meet the future modeling needs of the ecosystem restoration programs.

AB - Large-scale ecological restoration programs are beginning to supplement isolated projects implemented on rivers and tidal waterways. Nevertheless, the effects of estuary and river restoration often continue to be evaluated at local project scales or by integration in an additive manner. Today, we have sufficient scientific understanding to apply knowledge gained from measuring cumulative impacts of anthropogenic stressors on ecosystems to assessment of ecological restoration. Integration of this knowledge has potential to increase the efficacy of restoration projects that are conducted at several locations but comanaged within the confines of a larger integrative program. We introduce a framework based on a levels-of-evidence approach that facilitates assessment of the cumulative landscape effects of individual restoration actions taken at many different locations. It incorporates data collection at restoration and reference sites, hydrodynamic modeling, geographic information systems, and meta-analyses in a five-stage process: design, data development, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, and application. This framework evolved from the need to evaluate the efficacy of restoration projects that are being implemented in numerous wetlands on the 235 km tidal portion of the Columbia River, USA, which are intended to increase rearing habitat for out-migrating juvenile salmonid fishes.

AB - The rapid development of new technologies such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics (Omics) are changing the way ecotoxicology is practiced. The data deluge has begun with genomes of over 65 different aquatic species that are currently being sequenced, and many times that number with at least some level of transcriptome sequencing. Integrating these top-down methodologies is an essential task in the field of systems biology. Systems biology is a biology-based interdisciplinary field that focuses on complex interactions in biological systems, with the intent to model and discover emergent properties of the system. Recent studies demonstrate that Omics technologies provide valuable insight into ecotoxicity, both in laboratory exposures with model organisms and with animals exposed in the field. However, these approaches require a context of the whole animal and population to be relevant. Powerful approaches using reverse engineering to determine interacting networks of genes, proteins, or biochemical reactions are uncovering unique responses to toxicants. Modeling efforts in aquatic animals are evolving to interrelate the interacting networks of a system and the flow of information linking these elements. Just as is happening in medicine, systems biology approaches that allow the integration of many different scales of interaction and information are already driving a revolution in understanding the impacts of pollutants on aquatic systems.

AB - Potentially toxic nitroaromatic and nitramine compounds are introduced onto soils during detonation of explosives. The present study was conducted to investigate the desorption and transformation of explosive compounds loaded onto three soils through controlled detonation. The soils were proximally detonated with Composition B, a commonly used military explosive containing 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and octahydro 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX). Gas-exchangeable surface areas were measured from pristine and detonated soils. Aqueous batches of detonated soils were prepared by mixing each soil with ultrapure water. Samples were collected for 141 d and concentrations of Composition B compounds and TNT transformation products 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2ADNT), 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4ADNT), and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (1,3,5-TNB) were measured. The RDX, HMX, and TNT concentrations in detonated soil batches exhibited first-order physical desorption for the first, roughly, 10 d and then reached steady state apparent equilibrium within 40 d. An aqueous batch containing powdered Composition B in water was sampled over time to quantify TNT, RDX, and HMX dissolution from undetonated Composition B particles. The TNT, RDX, and HMX concentrations in aqueous batches of pure Composition B reached equilibrium within 6, 11, and 20 d, respectively. Detonated soils exhibited lower gas-exchangeable surface areas than their pristine counterparts. This is likely due to an explosive residue coating on detonated soil surfaces, shock-induced compaction, sintering, and/or partial fusion of soil particles under the intense heat associated with detonation. Our results suggest that explosive compounds loaded to soils through detonation take longer to reach equilibrium concentrations in aqueous batches than soils loaded with explosive residues through aqueous addition. This is likely due to the heterogeneous interactions between explosive residues and soil particle surfaces. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2011;30:345-353. © 2010 SETAC [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The emissions of particulate matter (PM) from anthropogenic sources raise public concern. A new method is described here that was developed to complete in situ rapid response measurements of PM mass emissions from fugitive dust sources by use of optical remote sensing (ORS) and an anemometer. The ORS system consists of one ground-based micropulse light detection and ranging (MPL) device that was mounted on a positioner, two open path-Fourier transform infrared (OP-FTIR) spectrometers, and two open path-laser transmissometers (OP-LT). An algorithm was formulated to compute PM light extinction profiles along each of the plume's cross sections that were determined with the MPL. Size-specific PM mass emission factors were then calculated by integrating the light extinction profiles with particle mass extinction efficiencies (determined with the OP-FTIRs/OP-LTs) and the wind's speed and direction. This method also quantifies the spatial and temporal variability of the plume's PM mass concentrations across each of the plume's cross sections. Example results from three field studies are also described to demonstrate how this new method is used to determine mass emission factors as well as characterize the dust plumes' horizontal and vertical dimensions and temporal variability of the PM's mass concentration.

AB - The toxicological effects of many stressors are mediated through unknown, or incompletely characterized, mechanisms of action. The application of reverse engineering complex interaction networks from high dimensional omics data (gene, protein, metabolic, signaling) can be used to overcome these limitations. This approach was used to characterize adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) for chemicals that disrupt the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal endocrine axis in fathead minnows (FHM, Pimephales promelas). Gene expression changes in FHM ovaries in response to seven different chemicals, over different times, doses, and in vivo versus in vitro conditions, were captured in a large data set of 868 arrays. Potential AOPs of the antiandrogen flutamide were examined using two mutual information-based methods to infer gene regulatory networks and potential AOPs. Representative networks from these studies were used to predict network paths from stressor to adverse outcome as candidate AOPs. The relationship of individual chemicals to an adverse outcome can be determined by following perturbations through the network in response to chemical treatment, thus leading to the nodes associated with the adverse outcome. Identification of candidate pathways allows for formation of testable hypotheses about key biological processes, biomarkers, or alternative endpoints that can be used to monitor an AOP. Finally, the unique challenges facing the application of this approach in ecotoxicology were identified and a road map for the utilization of these tools presented. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - This paper reviews the tissue residue approach (TRA) for toxicity assessment as it applies to organic chemicals and some organometallic compounds (Sn, Hg, and Pb) in aquatic organisms. Specific emphasis was placed on evaluating key factors that influence interpretation of critical body residue (CBR) toxicity metrics including data quality issues, lipid dynamics, choice of endpoints, processes that alter toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics, phototoxicity, species- and life stage-specific sensitivities, and biotransformation. The vast majority of data available on TRA is derived from laboratory studies of acute lethal responses to organic toxicants exhibiting baseline toxicity. Application of the TRA to various baseline toxicants as well as substances with specific modes of action via receptor-mediated processes, such as chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and organometallics is discussed, as is application of TRA concepts in field assessments of tissue residues. In contrast to media-based toxicity relationships, CBR values tend to be less variable and less influenced by factors that control bioavailability and bioaccumulation, and TRA can be used to infer mechanisms of toxic action, evaluate the toxicity of mixtures, and interpret field data on bioaccumulated toxicants. If residue-effects data are not available, body residues can be estimated, as has been done using the target lipid model for baseline toxicants, to derive critical values for risk assessment. One of the primary unresolved issues complicating TRA for organic chemicals is biotransformation. Further work on the influence of biotransformation, a better understanding of contaminant lipid interactions, and an explicit understanding of the time dependency of CBRs and receptor-mediated toxicity are all required to advance this field. Additional residue-effects data on sublethal endpoints, early life stages, and a wider range of legacy and emergent contaminants will be needed to improve the ability to use TRA for organic and organometallic compounds.

AB - The objective of this work is to present a critical review of the application of the tissue residue approach (TRA) in ecological risk and/or impact assessment (ERA) of chemical stressors and environmental criteria development. A secondary goal is to develop a framework for integrating the TRA into ecological assessments along with traditional, exposure concentration-based assessment approaches. Although widely recognized for its toxicological appeal, the utility of the TRA in specific applications will depend on numerous factors, such as chemical properties, exposure characteristics, assessment type, availability of tissue residue-response data, and ability to quantify chemical exposure. Therefore, the decision to use the TRA should include an evaluation of the relative strengths, limitations, and uncertainties among exposure and residue-based methods for characterizing toxicological effects. Furthermore, rather than supplanting exposure concentration-based toxicity assessments, the TRA can be highly effective for evaluating and reducing uncertainty when used in a complementary manner (e.g., when evaluating multiple lines of evidence in field studies). To address limitations with the available tissue residue-response data, approaches for extrapolating residue-based toxicity data across species, tissues, and exposure durations are discussed. Some of these approaches rely on predicted residue-response relationships or toxicological models that have an implicit residue-response basis (e.g., biotic ligand model). Because risk to an organism is a function of both its exposure potential and inherent sensitivity (i.e., on a residue basis), bioaccumulation models will be required not only for translating tissue residue criteria into corresponding water and sediment criteria, but also for defining the most vulnerable species in an assemblage (i.e., highly exposed and highly sensitive species). Application of the TRA in ecological assessments and criteria development are summarized for bioaccumulative organic chemicals, TBT, and in situ bioassays using bivalve molluscs.

AB - The article discusses the effectiveness of economic sanctions in preventing nuclear proliferation, using historical examples from 1974 to 1998. Also discussed are issues of why states choose to proliferate, and what would happen if sanctions were not used. A specific example discussed in greater detail is Russia's partially successful effort to deter nuclear proliferation in Ukraine in 1993. The economic cost of sanctions is discussed as a key factor, and sanctions imposed by friendly states are seen as more effective than those imposed by hostile states.

AB - Prior to World War II, the U.S. Army numbered 187,000 soldiers. Its growth to more than 8 million was a significant accomplishment. Little known to most, the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration's youth program, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), provided the pretrained manpower to fill the U.S. Army's ranks upon mobilization with men who readily assumed the role of Non--Commissioned Officers (NCOs). It also gave Organized Reserve Corps officers the opportunity to occupy leadership positions, an experience that would have been unavailable otherwise. By the same token, it allowed the Regular Army to assess the leadership potential of both Regular and Reserve Officers in leading future citizen soldiers. Last, it provided the Army with an opportunity to exercise its mobilization plans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This article examines negative or destructive leadership behaviors experienced by high-potential senior military officers and civilian employees. The study used a questionnaire based on the Petty Tyranny in Organizations Scale to explore the scope and nature of destructive leadership as reported by U.S. members of the class of 2008 at a military senior service college. It also explored the relationship between leadership experiences and various measures of satisfaction and inclination to remain in service. The authors observe that despite the central role that the concept of leadership holds in the military, even senior personnel reported experiencing toxic leadership. There was a significant negative relationship between destructive leadership and all measures of satisfaction. Surprisingly, there was not a significant negative impact on inclination to remain in service among this career-oriented and dedicated population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This paper discusses the integration of knowledge bases and shape grammars for the generation of building models, covering interaction, system, and implementation. Knowledge-based and generative systems are combined to construct a method for characterizing existing buildings, in particular, their interior layouts based on exterior features and certain other parameters such as location and real dimensions. The knowledge-based model contains information about spatial use, organization, elements, and contextual information, with the shape grammar principally containing style rules. Buildings are analyzed and layouts are generated through communication and interaction between these two systems. The benefit of using an interactive system is that the complementary properties of the two schemes are employed to strengthen the overall process. Ontologies capture knowledge relating to architectural design principles, building anatomy, structure, and systems. Shape grammar rules embody change through geometric manipulation and transformation. Existing buildings are analyzed using this approach, and three-dimensional models are automatically generated. Two particular building types, the vernacular rowhouse and high-rise apartment building, both from Baltimore, Maryland, are presented to illustrate the process and for comparing the utilized methodologies.

AB - Geophysical surveys, including magnetic field gradient and electrical resistance techniques, were conducted at New Philadelphia to identify productive locations for excavation, investigate the community plan, and present students with training in these techniques. Excavation of a sample of the most promising anomalies identified foundations, stone-lined and pit cellars, wells, a privy, and other features. Archival records available during the fieldwork provided no evidence for the presence of four features constructed in the 1840s and 1850s. Features directly associated with houses, such as foundations and cellars, are located very near the platted locations of streets, alleys, and comers, whereas many of the non-residential features occur in the middle portions of lots.

AB - This investigation applied novel techniques for characterizing and fractionating nanosilver particles and aggregates and relating these measurements to toxicological endpoints. The acute toxicity of eight nanosilver suspensions of varying primary particle sizes (10-80 nm) and coatings (citrate, polyvinylpyrrolidone. EDTA, proprietary) was assessed using three aquatic test organisms [Daphnia magna, Pimephales promelas, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata). When 48-h lethal median concentrations (LC50) were expressed as total silver, both D. magna and P. promelas were significantly more sensitive to ionic silver (Ag+) as AgNO3 (mean LC50 = 1.2 and 6.3 μg/L, respectively) relative to a wide range in LC50 values determined for the nanosilver suspensions (2 -126 μg/L). However, when LC50 values for nanosilver suspensions were expressed as fractionated nanosilver (Ag+ and/or <4 nm particles), determined by ultracentrifugation of particles and confirmed field-flow-fractograms, the LC50 values (0.3-5.6 μg/L) were comparable to the values obtained for ionic Ag+ as AgNO3. These results suggest that dissolved Ag+ plays a critical role in acute toxicity and underscores the importance of characterizing dissolved fractions in nanometal suspensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Carbon fullerenes, including buckminsterfullerene (C60), are increasingly available for numerous applications, thus increasing the likelihood of environmental release. This calls for information about their bioavailability and bioaccumulation potential. In this study, 14C-labeled C60 and 14C-phenanthrene (positive control) were added separately to soils of varying composition and organic carbon content (OC), and their bioaccumulation in the earthworm Eisenia fetida was compared. Biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAF) were measured after 24 h depuration in soils with high C60 dosages (60, 100, and 300 mg-C60 kg-1 dry soil), which exceed the soil sorption capacity, as well as in soils with a low C60 dose (0.25 mg kg-1) conducive to a high fraction of sorbed molecular C60. The BSAF value for the low-dose soil (0.427) was 1 order of magnitude lower than for less hydrophobic phenanthrene (7.93), inconsistent with the equilibrium partition theory that suggests that BSAF should be constant and independent of the KOW value of the chemical. Apparently, the large molecular size of C60 hinders uptake and bioaccumulation. Lower BSAF values (0.065-0.13) were measured for high-dose soils, indicating that C60 bioaccumulates more readily when a higher fraction of molecular C60 (rather than larger precipitates) is available. For the high-dose tests (heterogeneous C60 system), soil OC content did not significantly affect the extent of C60 bioaccumulation after 28 d of incubation, although higher OC content resulted in faster initial bioaccumulation. For low-dose soils, C60 BSAF decreased with increasing soil OC, as commonly reported for hydrophobic chemicals due to partitioning into soil OC. There was no detectable transformation of 14C60 in either soil or worm tissue. Overall, the relatively low extent but rapid bioaccumulation of C60 in E. fetida suggests the need for further studies on the potential for trophic transfer and biomagnification.

AB - Abstract: Barotrauma-injuries sustained following rapid decompression occur in many different fisheries applications. Previous attempts to quantify barotrauma in fish have been limited by the functionality of hypo/hyperbaric systems. Further, field studies often are confounded by covariates. The mobile aquatic barotrauma laboratory (MABL) was designed to address these limitations. Specifically, this testing facility allows the user to evaluate similar complex pressure scenarios to which migrating juvenile salmonids are exposed following turbine or spillway passage. In this paper, we describe the MABL and present a case study in which negative and neutrally buoyant juvenile Chinook salmon were exposed to simulated hydro-turbine passage (STP). The severity of the decompression profile and the fish''s ability to gain neutral buoyancy were used as predictor variables. We determined that following STP, fish that achieved neutral buoyancy during a 16-h acclimation period had a greater risk of mortality and injury (gill emboli, swim bladder rupture, and internal hemorrhaging) than negatively buoyant conspecifics. This research solidifies the need to allow fish to become neutrally buoyant when assessing barotrauma and mortality in field and laboratory applications. Future research examining injury and mortality of turbine-passed fish needs to consider the fish''s buoyancy to more appropriately evaluate these endpoints. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Snow distribution patterns are similar from one year to the next because they are largely controlled by the interaction of topography, vegetation, and consistent synoptic weather patterns. On a yearly basis none of these controls changes radically. As a consequence, deep and shallow areas of snow tend to be fixed in space, producing depth differences that may vary in absolute, but not relative, amounts from year to year. While this fact is widely known, the use of patterns in modeling snow cover distribution is limited. Here, on the basis of a training set of nine annual snow depth surveys from a small tundra basin in Alaska, we identify the climatological snow distribution pattern (CSDP). Using this and a few depth measurements, the snow distribution for years that were not included in the training set is predicted and mapped with a near-zero bias and RMSE that ranged from 4.4 to 10.4 cm. The accuracy of this strictly empirical approach to modeling the depth distribution is similar to, or better than, the output from a weather-driven physically based snow model. However, in our view a hybrid approach is best. Ingesting the CSDP into SnowModel, a widely used numerical code that simulates snow processes, the accuracy of the model output is improved by up to 60%. This hybrid approach retains the advantages of running a weather-driven numerical code but adds spatial accuracy currently only obtainable from observed snow patterns. The patterns can be captured in several ways, including aerial photography or satellite remote sensing during snowmelt. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The unprecedented uncertainty associated with engineered nanomaterials greatly expands the need for research regarding their potential environmental consequences. However, decision-makers such as regulatory agencies, product developers, or other nanotechnology stakeholders may not find the results of such research directly informative of decisions intended to mitigate environmental risks. To help interpret research findings and prioritize new research needs, there is an acute need for structured decision-analytic aids that are operable in a context of extraordinary uncertainty. Whereas existing stochastic decision-analytic techniques explore uncertainty only in decision-maker preference information, this paper extends model uncertainty to technology performance. As an illustrative example, the framework is applied to the case of single-wall carbon nanotubes. Four different synthesis processes (arc, high pressure carbon monoxide, chemical vapor deposition, and laser) are compared based on five salient performance criteria. A probabilistic rank ordering of preferred processes is determined using outranking normalization and a linear-weighted sum for different weighting scenarios including completely unknown weights and four fixed-weight sets representing hypothetical stakeholder views. No single process pathway dominates under all weight scenarios, but it is likely that some inferior process technologies could be identified as low priorities for further research.

AB - Abstract: Tropical cyclones that enter or form in the Gulf of Mexico generate storm surge and large waves that impact low-lying coastlines along the Gulf Coast. The Chandeleur Islands, located 161km east of New Orleans, Louisiana, have endured numerous hurricanes that have passed nearby. Hurricane Katrina (landfall near Waveland MS, 29 Aug 2005) caused dramatic changes to the island elevation and shape. In this paper the predictability of hurricane-induced barrier island erosion and accretion is evaluated using a coupled hydrodynamic and morphodynamic model known as XBeach. Pre- and post-storm island topography was surveyed with an airborne lidar system. Numerical simulations utilized realistic surge and wave conditions determined from larger-scale hydrodynamic models. Simulations included model sensitivity tests with varying grid size and temporal resolutions. Model-predicted bathymetry/topography and post-storm survey data both showed similar patterns of island erosion, such as increased dissection by channels. However, the model under predicted the magnitude of erosion. Potential causes for under prediction include (1) errors in the initial conditions (the initial bathymetry/topography was measured three years prior to Katrina), (2) errors in the forcing conditions (a result of our omission of storms prior to Katrina and/or errors in Katrina storm conditions), and/or (3) physical processes that were omitted from the model (e.g., inclusion of sediment variations and bio-physical processes).

AB - Abstract: Anoxic subsurface flow (SSF) constructed wetlands were evaluated for denitrification using nitrified wastewater. The treatment wetlands utilized a readily available organic woodchip-media packing to create the anoxic conditions. After 2 years in operation, nitrate removal was found to be best described by first-order kinetics. Removal rate constants at 20°C (k 20) were determined to be 1.41–1.30d−1, with temperature coefficients (θ) of 1.10 and 1.17, for planted and unplanted experimental woodchip-media SSF wetlands, respectively. First-order removal rate constants decreased as length of operation increased; however, a longer-term study is needed to establish the steady-state values. The hydraulic conductivity in the planted woodchip-media SSF wetlands, 0.13–0.15m/s, was similar to that measured in an unplanted gravel-media SSF control system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Lethal effects of the explosives RDX and HMX were assessed using ten-day water exposures to juvenile sheepshead minnows (Cyprinodon variegatus). For RDX, maximum mortality occurred during the first two days of exposure with a 10-d median lethal concentration (LC50) of 9.9mgL−1. The RDX 10-d median lethal residue (LR50) was 9.6mgkg−1 (34.9μmolkg−1) wet weight (ww), the first RDX critical body residue reported for fish. Previous investigations reported that RDX body residues in marine amphipods up to 96μmolkg−1 ww and in marine mussels up to 86μmolkg−1 ww failed to result in significant mortality. The highest HMX concentration tested, corresponding to its apparent solubility limit in seawater (2.0mgL−1), and the associated mean body residue (3mgkg−1 or 14μmolkg−1 ww) resulted in no significant mortality for exposed minnows. The mean 10-d bioconcentration factors for RDX (0.6–0.9Lkg−1) and HMX (0.3–1.6Lkg−1) were typically lower than 1, reflecting the low bioaccumulative potential for these compounds.

AB - Extensive studies have been conducted in the past decades to predict the environmental abiotic and biotic redox fate of nitroaromatic and nitramine explosives. However, surprisingly little information is available on one-electron standard reduction potentials (E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−)). The E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−) is an essential thermodynamic parameter for predicting the rate and extent of reductive transformation for energetic residues. In this study, experimental (linear free energy relationships) and theoretical (ab initio calculation) approaches were employed to determine E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−) for nitroaromatic, (caged) cyclic nitramine, and nitroimino explosives that are found in military installations or are emerging contaminants. The results indicate a close agreement between experimental and theoretical E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−) and suggest a key trend: E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−) value decreases from di- and tri-nitroaromatic (e.g., 2,4-dinitroanisole) to nitramine (e.g., RDX) to nitroimino compound (e.g., nitroguanidine). The observed trend in E o(R-NO2/R-NO2−) agrees with reported rate trends for reductive degradation, suggesting a thermodynamic control on the reduction rate under anoxic/suboxic conditions.

AB - Abstract: Hurricane flooding is a leading natural threat to coastal communities. Recent evidence of sea level rise coupled with potential future global warming indicate that sea level rise will accelerate and hurricanes may intensify over the coming decades. In regions fronted by barrier islands, the protective capacity of these islands may diminish as they are degraded by rising sea level. Here we present a hydrodynamic and geospatial analysis of the relative role of barrier island degradation on potential future hurricane flooding. For the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, USA, hurricane flooding is projected to rise between 20% and 70% by the 2030s, resulting in an increase in property damages and impacted population. These findings indicate that adaptive management strategies should be developed and adopted for mitigating loss of natural barrier islands when these islands act as protective features for populated bayside communities. Finally, this study illustrates a method for applying models to forecast future storm protection benefits of barrier island restoration projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: A simple anaerobic biodegradation process using wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent, shredded paper, and a purge of nitrogen gas was used to produce hydrogen and simultaneously capture nitrogen and phosphorus. Two reactor configurations, a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and a classic batch reactor (CBR) were tested as simultaneous saccharification and fermentation reactors (enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation in one tank). The CBR demonstrated greater stability of hydrogen production and simplicity of operation, while the SBR provided better nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies. Nuclear magnetic resonance analyses showed acetic acid to be the main product from both reactors. Optimal CBR conditions were found to be pH 5, 4 g/L loading, 0.45 ml/g Accellerase 1500, and 38 °C. Experiments with an argon purge in place of nitrogen and with ammonium chloride spiking suggested that hydrogenase and nitrogenase enzymes contributed similarly to hydrogen production in the cultures. Analysis of a single fermentation showed that hydrogen production occurred relatively early in the course of TOC removal, and that follow-on treatments might extract more energy from the products.

AB - Abstract: Decision-making for sediment management is a complex task that requires the consideration of temporal and spatial impacts of several remedial alternatives as well as the associated economic, social and political impact. Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) is becoming increasingly recognized as an important environmental management tool that can be used to support the selection of suitable remediation alternatives and prioritization of management units in space and time. This paper proposes an MCDA framework for prioritizing sediment management alternatives. This framework involves identifying of a set of feasible options, as well as defining and evaluating criteria which integrate relevant technical, economic, social and environmental aspects of remedies. The methodology allows an explicit consideration of uncertainty in criteria scores and weights by assigning probability distributions and analyzing subsequent Monte-Carlo simulations. The consideration of different stakeholder simulated values is used to assess the robustness of alternative rankings and to guide the selection of remediation options. An application of this methodology to a case study in the Bay of Santander, Spain, is presented. An assessment is conducted for the case of unknown preferences as well as for hypothetical preferences profiles for four types of stakeholders: Idealist, Politician, Environmentalist and Balanced. The results are used to visualize stakeholder positions and potential disagreements, allowing for the identification of a group of least preferred alternatives for each stakeholder. Stakeholder involvement has the potential to ease the remedy selection process during all stages of the decision-making process and to eventually remedy implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Nerve agents are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, exposure to which causes brain damage, primarily by inducing intense seizure activity. Knowledge of the brain regions that are most vulnerable to nerve agent-induced brain damage can facilitate the development of drugs targeting the protection of these regions. Both the amygdala and the hippocampus have been shown to suffer significant damage after nerve agent exposure, but the amygdala appears to be the more severely affected structure. However, damage in the amygdala has generally been compared with damage in the dorsal hippocampus, whereas there is evidence that the ventral hippocampus is significantly more susceptible to seizures than the dorsal region and, therefore, it may also be more susceptible to nerve agent-induced neuropathology. Here, we report that after status epilepticus induced by soman administration to rats, neuronal degeneration as assessed by Fluoro-Jade C staining was more extensive in the ventral than the dorsal hippocampal subfields, 1 day after soman exposure. Seven days later, the difference between dorsal and ventral regions was not statistically significant. In the amygdala, soman-induced neurodegeneration was more severe in the posteroventral regions of the lateral, basolateral, and medial nuclei compared to the anterodorsal regions of these nuclei. In contrast, the basomedial nucleus was more severely affected in the anterodorsal region. The extent of neurodegeneration in the amygdala was not significantly different from that in the ventral hippocampus. However, when compared with the whole hippocampus, the amygdala displayed more severe neurodegeneration, on both day 1 and day 7 after soman exposure. Testing the protective efficacy of drugs against nerve agent-induced brain damage should include examination of the ventral hippocampus and the posteroventral regions of the amygdala, as these areas are most vulnerable to nerve agent-induced neurodegeneration.

AB - Climate strongly affects energy supply and demand in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Washington State (WA). We evaluate potential effects of climate change on the seasonality and annual amount of PNW hydropower production, and on heating and cooling energy demand. Changes in hydropower production are estimated by linking simulated streamflow scenarios produced by a hydrology model to a simulation model of the Columbia River hydro system. Changes in energy demand are assessed using gridded estimates of heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree days (CDD) which are then combined with population projections to create energy demand indices that respond both to climate, future population, and changes in residential air conditioning market penetration. We find that substantial changes in the amount and seasonality of energy supply and demand in the PNW are likely to occur over the next century in response to warming, precipitation changes, and population growth. By the 2040s hydropower production is projected to increase by 4.7–5.0% in winter, decrease by about 12.1–15.4% in summer, with annual reductions of 2.0–3.4%. Larger decreases of 17.1–20.8% in summer hydropower production are projected for the 2080s. Although the combined effects of population growth and warming are projected to increase heating energy demand overall (22–23% for the 2020s, 35–42% for the 2040s, and 56–74% for the 2080s), warming results in reduced per capita heating demand. Residential cooling energy demand (currently less than one percent of residential demand) increases rapidly (both overall and per capita) to 4.8–9.1% of the total demand by the 2080s due to increasing population, cooling degree days, and air conditioning penetration.

AB - The Yakima River Reservoir system supplies water to ~180,000 irrigated hectares through the operation of five reservoirs with cumulative storage of ~30% mean annual river flow. Runoff is derived mostly from winter precipitation in the Cascade Mountains, much of which is stored as snowpack. Climate change is expected to result in earlier snowmelt runoff and reduced summer flows. Effects of these changes on irrigated agriculture were simulated using a reservoir system model coupled to a hydrological model driven by downscaled scenarios from 20 climate models archived by the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report. We find earlier snowmelt results in increased water delivery curtailments. Historically, the basin experienced substantial water shortages in 14% of years. Without adaptations, for IPCC A1B global emission scenarios, water shortages increase to 27% (13% to 49% range) in the 2020s, to 33% in the 2040s, and 68% in the 2080s. For IPCC B1 emissions scenarios, shortages occur in 24% (7% to 54%) of years in the 2020s, 31% in the 2040s and 43% in the 2080s. Historically unprecedented conditions where senior water rights holders suffer shortfalls occur with increasing frequency in both A1B and B1 scenarios. Economic losses include expected annual production declines of 5%–16%, with greater probabilities of operating losses for junior water rights holders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Pacific Northwest (PNW) hydrology is particularly sensitive to changes in climate because snowmelt dominates seasonal runoff, and temperature changes impact the rain/snow balance. Based on results from the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR4), we updated previous studies of implications of climate change on PNW hydrology. PNW 21st century hydrology was simulated using 20 Global Climate Models (GCMs) and 2 greenhouse gas emissions scenarios over Washington and the greater Columbia River watershed, with additional focus on the Yakima River watershed and the Puget Sound which are particularly sensitive to climate change. We evaluated projected changes in snow water equivalent (SWE), soil moisture, runoff, and streamflow for A1B and B1 emissions scenarios for the 2020s, 2040s, and 2080s. April 1 SWE is projected to decrease by approximately 38–46% by the 2040s (compared with the mean over water years 1917–2006), based on composite scenarios of B1 and A1B, respectively, which represent average effects of all climate models. In three relatively warm transient watersheds west of the Cascade crest, April 1 SWE is projected to almost completely disappear by the 2080s. By the 2080s, seasonal streamflow timing will shift significantly in both snowmelt dominant and rain–snow mixed watersheds. Annual runoff across the State is projected to increase by 2–3% by the 2040s; these changes are mainly driven by projected increases in winter precipitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Military small arms ranges in the United States have been used for munitions training with tungsten rounds, which are comprised of powdered tungsten (W) pressed together with polymeric binders. As a result, W has been introduced into surface soils. The environmental and human health effects of W remain open questions. The US Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for environmental monitoring, site assessments, and cleanup of small arms ranges. This work requires routine measurements of tungsten in natural waters and soils. However, the existing sample preparation and analytical procedures were not specifically developed with W in mind for environmental analysis. Our work suggests modification of existing metal sample preparation and analytical procedures are necessary to accurately quantify W in environmental media. Our group has been actively conducting W measurements using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), both with quadrupole and sector field ICPMS systems. We have used heavy rare earth elements and iridium as internal standards. For soils, the great majority of the W from small arms can be dissolved using acid leaching with HNO3-H3PO4 mixtures; more rigorous preparations with fusion or HF digestions can also be used. In ICPMS analysis, the largest challenge involves dealing with the significant carry-over and memory of W in sample introduction systems. This ultimately limits measurement capabilities, particularly at sub-µg L-1 levels. With careful attention to the sample and standards' matrix constituents, and proper washout time, successful analysis is possible and ICPMS is clearly the preferred technique. A commercially available fluoropolymer sample introduction system exhibits significantly improved memory characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Airborne and satellite brightness temperature (T B) measurements were combined with intensive field observations of sub-Arctic tundra snow cover to develop the framework for a new tundra-specific passive microwave snow water equivalent (SWE) retrieval algorithm. The dense snowpack and high sub-grid lake fraction across the tundra mean that conventional brightness temperature difference approaches (such as the commonly used 37GHz–19GHz) are not appropriate across the sub-Arctic. Airborne radiometer measurements (with footprint dimensions of approximately 70×120m) acquired across sub-Arctic Canada during three field campaigns during the 2008 winter season were utilized to illustrate a slope reversal in the 37GHz T B versus SWE relationship. Scattering by the tundra snowpack drives a negative relationship until a threshold SWE value is reached near 130mm at which point emission from the snowpack creates a positive but noisier relationship between 37GHz T B and SWE. The change from snowpack scattering to emission was also evident in the temporal evolution of 37GHz T B observed from satellite measurements. AMSR-E brightness temperatures (2002/03–2006/07) consistently exhibited decreases through the winter before reaching a minimum in February or March, followed by an increase for weeks or months before melt. The cumulative absolute change (Σ|Δ37V|) in vertically polarized 37GHz T B was computed at both monthly and pentad intervals from a January 1 start date and compared to ground measured SWE from intensive and regional snow survey campaigns, and climate station observations. A greater (lower) cumulative change in |Δ37V| was significantly related to greater (lower) ground measured SWE (r 2 =0.77 with monthly averages; r 2 =0.67 with pentad averages). Σ|Δ37V| was only weakly correlated with lake fraction: monthly r 2 values calculated for January through April 2003–2007 were largely less than 0.2. These results indicate that this is a computationally straightforward and viable algorithmic framework for producing tundra-specific SWE datasets from the complete satellite passive microwave record (1979 to present).

AB - Abstract: Using coverboard arrays, we monitored woodland salamanders on the Fernow Experimental Forest in the central Appalachian Mountains, West Virginia, USA prior to and following two prescribed fires in mixed oak (Quercus spp.) forest stands. Treatments were burn plots on upper slopes or lower slopes fenced to prevent white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) herbivory or control plots that were unfenced and unburned. Most of the 7 species we observed were the mountain dusky salamander (Desmognathus ocropheaus), red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus) and slimy salamander (Plethodon glutinosis). Significant population responses were difficult to interpret with numerous treatment and year interactions. Results largely were equivocal. We found no change in woodland salamander assemblage prior to burning or afterwards. There were few differences in adult to juvenile ratios of salamanders among treatments. Still, a priori contrasts of mountain dusky salamanders and red-backed salamander counts corrected for detection probability were greater under coverboards in the 2 years monitored after both prescribed fires had occurred than before burning or in unburned controls. This suggests that these species responded to the reduced leaf litter on the forest floor by utilizing coverboards more. Similarly, the three predominate species of salamanders also were more numerous under coverboards in plots subjected to deer herbivory with less subsequent forest floor vegetation as compared to those burned plots that were fenced. Our observations would suggest that woodland salamanders somewhat are tolerant of two prescribed fires within close temporal proximity. However, because woodland salamanders can be significantly reduced following timber harvest, continued research is needed to fully understand impacts of fire as a pre-harvest management tool in central Appalachian forests.

AB - : Although fish are usually thought of as victims of water quality degradation, it has been proposed that some planktivorous species may improve water quality through consumption of algae and sequestering of nutrients via growth. Within most numerical water quality models, the highest trophic level modeled explicitly is zooplankton, prohibiting an investigation of the effect a fish species may be having on its environment. Conversely, numerical models of fish consumption do not typically include feedback mechanisms to capture the effects of fish on primary production and nutrient recycling. In the present study, a fish bioenergetics model is incorporated into CE-QUAL-ICM, a spatially explicit eutrophication model. In addition to fish consumption of algae, zooplankton, and detritus, fish biomass accumulation and nutrient recycling to the water column are explicitly accounted for. These developments advance prior modeling efforts of the impact of fish on water quality, many of which are based on integrated estimates over an entire system and which omit the feedback the fish have through nutrient recycling and excretion. To validate the developments, a pilot application was undertaken for Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) in Chesapeake Bay. The model indicates menhaden may reduce the algal biomass while simultaneously increasing primary productivity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Understanding the dispersion of contaminants inside buildings is important for improving indoor air quality (IAQ). Detailed information on the dispersion profile within a room is required to design active protection systems and to develop countermeasure strategies against potential threats from particulate based agents. A number of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes in the public and commercial domain can simulate contaminant dispersion inside a building. One of the critical boundary conditions required by these CFD codes is a resuspension source term model. This paper develops general source term models for particle resuspension from indoor surfaces based on dimensional analysis. First, the physical mechanisms responsible for fine particle resuspension from indoor surfaces are investigated and relevant parameters are identified. Then, three different models are developed using dimensional analysis and published resuspension data in the literature. Finally, the models are evaluated against independent experimental data that were not used to determine the model coefficients. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Deep unconsolidated sediments in the Mississippi embayment will influence ground motions from earthquakes in the New Madrid seismic zone. Shear wave velocity profiles of these sediments are important input parameters for modeling wave propagation and site response in this region. Low-frequency, active-source surface wave velocity measurements were performed to develop small-strain shear wave velocity (VS ) profiles at eleven deep soil sites in the Mississippi embayment, from north of New Madrid, Missouri to Memphis, Tennessee. A servo-hydraulic, low-frequency source was used to excite surface wave energy to wavelengths of 600m, resulting in VS profiles to depths of over 200m. The average VS profile calculated from the eleven sites is in good agreement with common reference VS profiles that have been used in seismic hazard studies of this region. The variability in VS profiles is shown to be associated with changes in formation depth and thickness from site-to-site. Using lithologic information at each site, average formation velocities were developed and compared to previous studies. We found average VS values of about 193m/s for alluvial deposits, 400m/s for the Upper Claiborne formations, and 685m/s for the Memphis Sand formation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Ebola virus (EBOV), a negative-sense RNA virus in the family Filoviridae, is known to cause severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and other primates. Infection with EBOV causes a high mortality rate and currently there is no FDA-licensed vaccine or therapeutic treatment available. Recently, heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a molecular chaperone, was shown to be an important host factor for the replication of several negative-strand viruses. We tested the effect of several different Hsp90 inhibitors including geldanamycin, radicicol, and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG; a geldanamycin analog) on the replication of Zaire EBOV. Our results showed that inhibition of Hsp90 significantly reduced the replication of EBOV. Classic Hsp90 inhibitors reduced viral replication with an effective concentration at 50% (EC50) in the high nanomolar to low micromolar range, while drugs from a new class of Hsp90 inhibitors showed markedly more potent inhibition. These compounds blocked EBOV replication with an EC50 in the low nanomolar range and showed significant potency in blocking replication in primary human monocytes. These results validated that Hsp90 is an important host factor for the replication of filoviruses and suggest that Hsp90 inhibitors may be therapeutically effective in treating EBOV infection.

AB - Summary: Two-dimensional (2D) flow models based on the well-known governing 2D flow equations are applied to floodplain analysis purposes. These 2D models numerically solve the governing flow equations simultaneously or explicitly on a discretization of the floodplain using grid tiles or similar tile cell geometry, called “elements”. By use of automated information systems such as digital terrain modeling, digital elevation models, and GIS, large-scale topographic floodplain maps can be readily discretized into thousands of elements that densely cover the floodplain in an edge-to-edge form. However, the assumed principal flow directions of the flow model analog, as applied across an array of elements, typically do not align with the floodplain flow streamlines. This paper examines the mathematical underpinnings of a four-direction flow analog using an array of square elements with respect to floodplain flow streamlines that are not in alignment with the analog’s principal flow directions. It is determined that application of Manning’s equation to estimate the friction slope terms of the governing flow equations, in directions that are not coincident with the flow streamlines, may introduce a bias in modeling results, in the form of slight underestimation of flow depths. It is also determined that the maximum theoretical bias, occurs when a single square element is rotated by about 13°, and not 45° as would be intuitively thought. The bias as a function of rotation angle for an array of square elements follows approximately the bias for a single square element. For both the theoretical single square element and an array of square elements, the bias as a function of alignment angle follows a relatively constant value from about 5° to about 85°, centered at about 45°. This bias was first noted about a decade prior to the present paper, and the magnitude of this bias was estimated then to be about 20% at about 10° misalignment. An adjustment of Manning’s n is investigated based on a considered steady state uniform flow problem, but the magnitude of the adjustment (about 20%) is on the order of the magnitude of the accepted ranges of friction factors. For usual cases where random streamline trajectory variability within the floodplain flow is greater than a few degrees from perfect alignment, the apparent bias appears to be implicitly included in the Manning’s n values. It can be concluded that the array of square elements may be applied over the digital terrain model without respect to topographic flow directions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: Recognition of the occupational hazards from exposure to the propellants hydrazine and monomethylhydrazine (MMH) has led to research into less toxic alternatives. Two hypergolic compounds, dimethylamino-2-ethylazide (DMAZ) and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine (TMEDA), have been identified as possible replacements for MMH. We have obtained genotoxicity data for these compounds from in vitro and in vivo studies. DMAZ did not produce any mutagenic effects at concentrations up to 5mg/plate in the TA98 and TA1537 strains of Salmonella typhimurium and in an Escherichia coli (WP2 uvrA) strain, with or without metabolic activation, but did produce a positive response in the TA100 and TA1535 strains, both with and without metabolic activation. TMEDA was found not to be mutagenic in any of the bacterial strains tested (Salmonella TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E. coli, WP2 uvrA), with or without metabolic activation. DMAZ did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations at levels up to 5mg/mL in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, with or without metabolic activation. TMEDA produced a positive response in this system, with or without metabolic activation, but only at the highest concentration, 5mg/mL. However, according to the OECD guideline TG 473, the compound is considered to be negative in the CHO chromosomal aberration assay, since the compound was not clastogenic at 0.01M (1.140mg/mL). DMAZ and TMEDA, when tested in vivo in the CD-1 mouse at doses up to 500 and 250mg/kg, respectively, did not induce micronuclei in bone marrow erythrocytes. These studies demonstrate that DMAZ is mutagenic in specific strains of Salmonella. However, both compounds were negative for induction of chromosomal aberrations in CHO cells in vitro and in the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: The presence of energetic materials (used as explosives and propellants) at contaminated sites is a growing international issue, particularly with respect to military base closures and demilitarization policies. Improved understanding of the ecotoxicological effects of these materials is needed in order to accurately assess the potential exposure risks and impacts on the environment and its ecosystems. We studied the toxicity of the nitroaromatic energetic material 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crusgalli L. Beauv.), and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) using four natural soils varying in properties (organic matter, clay content, and pH) that were hypothesized to affect chemical bioavailability and toxicity. Amended soils were subjected to natural light conditions, and wetting and drying cycles in a greenhouse for 13weeks prior to toxicity testing to approximate field exposure conditions in terms of bioavailability, transformation, and degradation of 2,4-DNT. Definitive toxicity tests were performed according to standard protocols. The median effective concentration (EC50) values for shoot dry mass ranged from 8 to 229mg kg−1, depending on the plant species and soil type. Data indicated that 2,4-DNT was most toxic in the Sassafras (SSL) and Teller (TSL) sandy loam soils, with EC50 values for shoot dry mass ranging between 8 to 44mg kg−1, and least toxic in the Webster clay loam soil, with EC50 values for shoot dry mass ranging between 40 to 229mg kg−1. The toxicity of 2,4-DNT for each of the plant species was significantly (p ≤0.05) and inversely correlated with the soil organic matter content. Toxicity benchmark values determined in the present studies for 2,4-DNT weathered-and-aged in SSL or TSL soils will contribute to development of an Ecological Soil Screening Level for terrestrial plants that can be used for ecological risk assessment at contaminated sites.

AB - Lethal effects of trinitrotoluene (TNT) to juvenile sheepshead minnows (JSHM) (Cyprinodon variegatus) were assessed in ten-day water exposures. Ten-day median lethal concentrations (LC50s) were 2.3 and 2.5mgL−1, the 10-d median lethal residue value (LR50) was 26.1μmolkg−1 wet weight (ww), and bioconcentration factors (BCFs) ranged from 0.7 to 2.4Lkg−1. The lethal effects of TNT and its transformation products 2-aminodinitrotoluene (2-ADNT), 2,4-diaminonitrotoluene (2,4-DANT) and trinitrobenzene (TNB) to JSHM were compared in 5-d static-renewal exposures. Nitroreduction decreased the toxicity of TNT to SHM, as the 5-d LC50 for 2-ADNT was 8.6mgL−1 and the lowest lethal concentration of 2,4-DANT was 50.3mgL−1. TNB (5-d LC50=1.2mgL−1) was more toxic than TNT to SHM. The 5-d LR50s were 4.3mgkg−1 ww (20.4μmolkg−1) for SumTNT (TNT exposure) and 54.2mgkg−1 ww (275.3μmolkg−1) for 2-ADNT and significant mortality occurred at 47.4mgkg−1 ww (283.6μmolkg−1). The range of BCF values was from 1.8 to 2.4, 5.6 to 8.0, and 0.6 to 0.9Lkg−1 for TNT, 2-ADNT, and 2,4-DANT, respectively. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: The behavior of dense, viscous calcium bromide brine solutions used to remediate systems contaminated with dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) is considered in laboratory and field porous medium systems. The density and viscosity of brine solutions are experimentally investigated and functional forms fit over a wide range of mass fractions. A density of 1.7 times, and a corresponding viscosity of 6.3 times, that of water is obtained at a calcium bromide mass fraction of 0.53. A three-dimensional laboratory cell is used to investigate the establishment, persistence, and rate of removal of a stratified dense brine layer in a controlled system. Results from a field-scale experiment performed at the Dover National Test Site are used to investigate the ability to establish and maintain a dense brine layer as a component of a DNAPL recovery strategy, and to recover the brine at sufficiently high mass fractions to support the economical reuse of the brine. The results of both laboratory and field experiments show that a dense brine layer can be established, maintained, and recovered to a significant extent. Regions of unstable density profiles are shown to develop and persist in the field-scale experiment, which we attribute to regions of low hydraulic conductivity. The saturated–unsaturated, variable-density groundwater flow simulation code SUTRA is modified to describe the system of interest, and used to compare simulations to experimental observations and to investigate certain unobserved aspects of these complex systems. The model results show that the standard model formulation is not appropriate for capturing the behavior of sharp density gradients observed during the dense brine experiments.

AB - We examined the genetic population structure of Spartina alterniflora in Jamaica Bay, Queens, NY and the surrounding area in order to assist the ongoing restoration of Jamaica Bay. AMOVA (Analysis of Molecular Variance) indicated that population differences accounted for 15% of molecular variance ( ΦPT = 0.15, p = 0.001). Observed heterozygosity (Ho) ranged from 0.61 to 0.73 among populations. A Mantel test indicated a weak and non-significant correlation between pairwise ΦPT and geographic distance matrices ( r = 0.34, p = 0.12). A PCA revealed no obvious grouping pattern for sampled populations. Based on these data, we determined that the studied populations contained similar genetic variability to other populations in the New York vicinity and to those of the entire region. It seems likely that collection of germplasm from within the region will prove sufficient in maintaining overall genetic variation in restoration plantings. Given the small amount of genetic structure among populations within Jamaica Bay, however, it would be prudent to collect widely within the target marsh. We also recommend the practice of propagating plugs of S. alterniflora from wild seed, as opposed to using vegetative cuttings, when creating planting stock, in order to maximize genetic diversity in restored marshes.

AB - Increased diversion rates for construction and demolition (C&D) debris from US landfill sites are not only good from a sustainability viewpoint, but it is also an achievable goal. When deconstruction occurs, effective planning begins to take advantage of all technologies and processes available for recycling and reuse along with emerging markets for transformed C&D materials and secondary products. The data collected and analysed in this paper suggests that the benefits of increasing C&D diversion rates resulting primarily from deconstruction projects will have tremendous positive impacts upon a sustainable future, which includes energy production, virgin materials, end items, processed materials and reduced global warming. Deconstruction projects of the Department of Defense (DoD) military installations are analysed in detail in this paper. Although the DoD has been pioneering many C&D solid waste management projects to reap the benefits of high diversion rates from landfills, there have been discernible efforts by industry to attain diversion rates as high as 90% in many instances.

AB - Abstract: This paper presents a mathematical approach and numerical model that simulates beach and dune change in response to cross-shore processes of dune growth by wind and dune erosion by storms, and by gradients in longshore sand transport that will alter shoreline position. Sub-aerial transport processes are represented, whereas sub-aqueous transport is neglected. The system is tightly coupled morphologically, with the berm playing a central role. For example, the potential for sand to be transported to the dune by wind depends on berm width, and sand lost in erosion of the dune during storms can widen the berm. Morphologic equilibrium considerations are introduced to improve reliability of predictions and stability of the non-linear model. An analytical solution is given under simplification to illustrate properties of the model. Sensitivity tests with the numerical solution of the coupled equations demonstrate model performance, with one test exploring beach and dune response to potential increase in storm-wave height with global warming. Finally, the numerical model is applied to examine the consequences of groin shortening at Westhampton Beach, Long Island, New York, as an alternative for providing a sand supply to the down-drift beach. Results indicate that the sand will be released over several decades as the shoreline and dune move landward in adjustment to the new equilibrium condition with the shortened groins.

AB - Abstract: Ecological risks and economical impacts of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) include alterations in the transfer of energy and cycling of materials in aquatic systems, increased accumulation of contaminants in aquatic food chains, clogging of water intakes, and damage to related infrastructure. A risk-based decision model was developed to assess the likelihood of zebra mussel invasion and establishment throughout the St. Croix Basin. The risk-based decision model CASMZM is a version of the comprehensive aquatic systems model (CASM) and that was modified to simulate the growth, reproduction, and spatial distribution of zebra mussels. As a risk management tool, the model simulates the population dynamical complexity of zebra mussel populations, as well as their impacts on phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic invertebrates, fish and natural mussel populations. The CASMZM is based in part on a set of zebra mussel''s physical–chemical habitat requirements such as calcium concentration (17mg/L), total hardness (57.5mg/L), conductivity (62μS/cm), dissolved oxygen concentration (6mg/L), salinity (7PSU), pH (6.8 and 9.4), Secchi disk depths (75 and 205cm), and water temperatures for growth (14°C) and reproduction (30°C). The CASMZM also includes a bioenergetics framework that describes the growth of zebra mussels and their trophic impacts on aquatic food webs. The CASMZM can be used to forecast the risk of successful dreissenid invasions and assess the associated impacts of invasive mussels on food web dynamics of previously uninfested aquatic systems throughout the St. Croix Basin.

AB - 2-Amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2A-DNT) is a metabolite of the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) which is present in the soil at numerous U.S. Army installations as the result of TNT manufacture or training activities. Although many avian species are known to inhabit areas where 2A-DNT has been found in the environment, no published studies of the effects of 2A-DNT exposure in birds are available. In this study, we conducted an evaluation of the oral toxicity of 2A-DNT in a representative ground foraging species of management concern, the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). Subacute (14 days) and subchronic (60 days) oral gavage exposure studies were conducted following determination of the median acute lethal dose (LD50 = 1167 mg/kg). In the subacute study, survival occurred at 50 mg/kg/day. This helped to determine dose groups for the subchronic study: 0, 0.5, 3, 14, and 30 mg 2A-DNT/kg body weight-d in corn oil. The lowest observed adverse effects level (LOAEL) was determined to be 14 mg/kg/day based on mortality, and the no observed adverse effects level (NOAEL) was determined to be 3 mg/kg/day based on lack of effects at this exposure level.

AB - The purpose of our study was to investigate the sub-lethal effects of millimeter wave carbon fibers (MWCF), a military obscurant, on filter-feeding freshwater invertebrates. We observed decreased survival, reproduction, and oxygen consumption in Daphnia magna at realistic loading rates. In experiments with the Asiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea), soft tissue dry weight and tissue condition index were not significantly different among control and MWCF exposed treatments; however, using a 15N labeled alga as food, we observed decreased nitrogen turnover in tissues of clams exposed to MWCF, suggesting lower filtering or ingestion rates. Our findings combined with previous demonstrations of MWCF toxicity to green algae suggest that over a period of several months, bivalve growth may be inhibited, and cladoceran populations may be even more strongly affected by MWCF. Given that these fibers are persistent, further experiments should be conducted to determine the longer-term effects of contamination of water bodies with MWCF. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The effects of PAHs on fish have been described in the literature, but the ability to assess risk to juvenile and adult fish from exposure to PAHs in the field is currently hindered by the lack of a predictive dose–response exposure model. The goal of this paper is to present a framework that can be used to convert concentrations of PAHs in environmental media (e.g., water, food, and sediment) to a dose metric that is predictive of adverse effects. Examples of toxicity studies that can be considered within the framework are presented. Additional toxicity studies are needed to establish the potency and range of toxic responses to mixtures of PAHs that fish encounter in the environment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Cutaneous and ocular injuries caused by sulfur mustard (SM; bis-(2-chloroethyl) sulfide) are characterized by severe inflammation and death of exposed cells. Given the known roles of p38MAPK and NF-κB in inflammatory cytokine production, and the known roles of NF-κB and p53 in cell fate, these pathways are of particular interest in the study of SM injury. In this study, we utilized inhibitory RNA (RNAi) targeted against p38α, the p50 subunit of NF-κB, or p53 to characterize their role in SM-induced inflammation and cell death in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK). Analysis of culture supernatant from 200 μM SM-exposed cells showed that inflammatory cytokine production was inhibited by p38α RNAi but not by NF-κB p50 RNAi. These findings further support a critical role for p38 in SM-induced inflammatory cytokine production in NHEK and suggest that NF-κB may not play a role in the SM-induced inflammatory response of this cell type. Inhibition of NF-κB by p50 RNAi did, however, partially inhibit SM-induced cell death, suggesting a role for NF-κB in SM-induced apoptosis or necrosis. Interestingly, inhibition of p53 by RNAi potentiated SM-induced cell death, suggesting that the role of p53 in SM injury, may be complex and not simply prodeath. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB - Automatic modulation recognition (AMR)-based software-defined radio (SDR) is a research challenge in developing third-generation (3G) and fourth-generation (4G) wireless communications with adaptive modulation capability. However, the existing AMR technology does not satisfy the seamless demodulation requirement of the SDR. A novel design of the AMR method with reduced computational complexity and fast processing speed is needed. This paper describes a discrete likelihood-ratio test (DLRT)-based rapid-estimation approach to identifying the modulation schemes blindly for uninterrupted data demodulation in real time. The statistical performance of the fast AMR associated with its implementation using the SDR is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Introduction The effect of oceanic CO2 sequestration was examined exposing a deep-sea bacterium identified as Vibrio alginolyticus (9NA) to elevated levels of carbon dioxide and monitoring its growth at 2,750 psi (1,846 m depth). Findings The wild-type strain of 9NA could not grow in acidified marine broth below a pH of 5. The pH of marine broth did not drop below this level until at least 20.8 mM of CO2 was injected into the medium. 9NA did not grow at this CO2 concentration or higher concentrations (31.2 and 41.6 mM) for at least 72 h. Carbon dioxide at 10.4 mM also inhibited growth, but the bacterium was able to recover and grow. Exposure to CO2 caused the cell to undergo a morphological change and form a dimple-like structure The membrane was also damaged but with no protein leakage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - To assess the burden of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) in a high-risk population, the monthly incidence of laboratory-confirmed MRSA in service members/trainees stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia, USA without hospitalization or surgery documented 30 days prior to infection was calculated for calendar years 2002-2007. Clinical management and antibiotic susceptibility patterns were also evaluated. By 2007, ~67% of S. aureus strains were MRSA, and ~82% of these were community-associated, primarily in trainees. In total, 3531 CA-MRSA infections were identified. Rates appeared to be seasonal, peaking at 42 cases/1000 soldiers in 2005, with rates remaining above 35/1000 soldiers thereafter. Increased prescription of effective antibiotics was documented. Susceptibility to clindamycin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin decreased from 2002 to 2007 by 6%, 17%, and 14%, respectively. The sustained high prevalence of CA-MRSA observed highlights the need for more vigilant population-based counter-measures at military training installations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Extensive research has been done to characterize transport of bacteria in porous media; however, little is understood on how the presence of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) coupled with the growth state and carbon source of bacteria affect bacterial transport. The objective of this research is to quantify the bacterial adhesion of Pseudomonas saccharophilia P15 (P15), which is known to biodegrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and to interact with coal tars, within a NAPL–water–mineral system. Through a series of short-pulse column experiments, the transport and deposition of P15 in porous media (quartz sand) as a function of growth state and carbon sources (peptone and naphthalene), and in the presence and absence of residual NAPL (hexadecane), is measured and evaluated. Coating 20% of the quartz grain with hexadecane as a model NAPL increased the retention of P15 by as much as a factor of 26 as compared to the retention exhibited in quartz sand with no NAPL present. P15 grown on peptone and in the late exponential growth state exhibited a greater amount of deposition within the hexadecane column than when it was grown on naphthalene or was in early exponential growth phase. During early growth stage P15 grown on naphthalene adhered stronger to the porous media compared to when grown on peptone. Results were compared with results of MATH assays, where P15 partitioning to hexadecane was evaluated as a function of carbon source and growth state. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Asthma increased dramatically in the last decades of the 20th century and is representative of chronic diseases that have been linked to altered microbial exposure and immune responses. Here we evaluate the effects of environmental exposures typically associated with asthma protection or risk on the microbial community structure of household dust (dogs, cats, and day care). PCR-denaturing gradient gel analysis (PCR-DGGE) demonstrated that the bacterial community structure in house dust is significantly impacted by the presence of dogs or cats in the home (P = 0.0190 and 0.0029, respectively) and by whether or not children attend day care (P = 0.0037). In addition, significant differences in the dust bacterial community were associated with asthma outcomes in young children, including wheezing (P = 0.0103) and specific IgE (P = 0.0184). Our findings suggest that specific bacterial populations within the community are associated with either risk or protection from asthma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - A substantial percentage of the Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. and steelhead O. mykiss smolts that emigrate to the ocean each year are smaller than 110 mm (fork length). However, relatively few researchers have implanted acoustic transmitters in fish of this size, and none have reported minimum fish lengths below 110 mm for which the tag burden did not negatively influence growth or survival. The influence of a surgically implanted acoustic microtransmitter and a passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag on the growth and survival of hatchery-reared juvenile Chinook salmon was examined over a period of 30 d. Growth and survival were compared between treatment (tagged) and control (untagged) fish within three size-groups (80-89, 90-99, and 100-109 mm). The acoustic microtransmitter and PIT tag implanted in our study had a combined weight of 0.74 g; the combined tag burden for implanted fish ranged from 4.5% to 15.7%. The results indicated that growth and survival among implanted juvenile Chinook salmon were size dependent. Significant differences in growth rate and survival were observed between treatment and control fish in the 80-89-mm group. The survival of implanted fish smaller than 11.1 g (tag burden, >6.7%) and the growth of fish smaller than 9.0 g (tag burden, >8.2%) were negatively affected by the implantation or presence of an acoustic microtransmitter and PIT tag. The results of this study will aid researchers in determining the minimum fish size suitable for use in acoustic telemetry studies that estimate the short-term (30-d) survival and growth of juvenile salmonids.

AB - The Ibis T5000 is a novel diagnostic platform that couples PCR and mass spectrometry. In this study, we developed an assay that can identify all known pathogenic Vibrio species and field-tested it using natural water samples from both freshwater lakes and the Georgian coastal zone of the Black Sea. Of the 278 total water samples screened, 9 different Vibrio species were detected, 114 (41%) samples were positive for V. cholerae, and 5 (0.8%) samples were positive for the cholera toxin A gene (ctxA). All ctxA-positive samples were from two freshwater lakes, and no ctxA-positive samples from any of the Black Sea sites were detected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: The zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, is widespread in the St. Lawrence River while the conspecific quagga mussel, Dreissena bugensis, is found only in the Lake Ontario outflow region of the river. This situation provided an opportunity to evaluate in situ environmental and interspecific heterogeneity in shell and tissue growth. Shell dry weight, carbon content, and shell strength of D. polymorpha from the four spatially discrete water masses differed significantly. For instance, D. polymorpha total and tissue mass increased over the summer in the shallow fluvial Lac Saint-Pierre but decreased in the upstream and downstream water masses. Standardized shell mass and strength of D. polymorpha was lowest where the mussels experienced salinity or low calcium. Although the response pattern of mass and glycogen content for D. polymorpha was spatially complex, mussels from the stressful oligohaline estuary population had the weakest shells and lowest glycogen content, even though their standardized tissue mass was the heaviest. This disparity in shell and tissue response suggests that some aspect of shell physiology alone may be limiting these mussels in estuarine environments. Tissue characteristics of D. polymorpha and D. bugensis were similar at the site where both were present, but the shell strength of D. bugensis was only equivalent to the weakest of D. polymorpha. We also conclude that lighter shells might make D. bugensis more susceptible to predation or mechanical damage but may also offer a bioenergetic advantage that is contributing to its rapid displacement of D. polymorpha where the two species co-occur.

AB - The development of effective and minimally invasive techniques to determine gender and gonad developmental stage is particularly important in performing accurate fisheries assessments for use in conservation and restoration. The initial and latent survival of shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus was assessed after exposure to a modified endoscopic technique designed to collect that biological information. Rather than inserting the endoscope through the urogenital canal or directly into the body cavity, we inserted a threaded trocar through a ventral incision and used a low-pressure air supply attached to the trocar to gently insufflate the body cavity. The initial survival of both experimental and control shovelnose sturgeon was 100%. Latent survival was 100% and 90% for the experimental and control fish, respectively. Our study suggests that incision endoscopy coupled with insufflation of the body cavity through the use of a trocar and an air supply is a safe and effective way to determine gender and examine the gonad developmental stage of shovelnose sturgeon. The short duration of the procedure and the high postprocedure survival suggest that this technique is suitable for shovelnose sturgeon and perhaps for the evaluation of other endangered fish species (e.g., pallid sturgeon S. alba) as well.

AB - Abstract: Ricin inhibits translation by removal of a specific adenine from 28S RNA. The Ricinus communis genome encodes seven full-length ricin family members. All encoded proteins have the ability of hydrolyzing adenine in 28S rRNA. As expected, these proteins also inhibited an in vitro transcription/translation system. These data show that the ricin gene family contains at least seven members that have the ability to inhibit translation and that may contribute to the toxicity of R. communis.

AB - Abstract: DNA vaccination is a promising immunization strategy that could be applied in the development of vaccines for a variety of prophylactic and therapeutic indications. Utilizing anthrax protective antigen as a model antigen, we demonstrate that electroporation mediated delivery enhanced the immunogenicity of DNA vaccines in nonhuman primates over 100-fold as compared to conventional intramuscular injection. Two administrations of a DNA vaccine with electroporation elicited anthrax toxin neutralizing antibody responses in 100% of rhesus macaques. Toxin neutralizing antibodies were sustained for the nearly 1-year study duration and were correlated with protection against subsequent lethal Bacillus anthracis spore challenge. Collectively, electroporation mediated DNA vaccination conferred protection comparable to that observed following vaccination with an FDA approved anthrax vaccine. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The tantalizing potential of nanotechnology is to fabricate and combine nanoscale approaches and building blocks to make useful tools and, ultimately, interventions for medical science, including nutritional science, at the scale of ∼1-100 nm. In the past few years, tools and techniques that facilitate studies and interventions in the nanoscale range have become widely available and have drawn widespread attention. Recently, investigators in the food and nutrition sciences have been applying the tools of nanotechnology in their research. The Experimental Biology 2009 symposium entitled "Nanotechnology Research: Applications in Nutritional Sciences" was organized to highlight emerging applications of nanotechnology to the food and nutrition sciences, as well as to suggest ways for further integration of these emerging technologies into nutrition research. Speakers focused on topics that included the problems and possibilities of introducing nanoparticles in clinical or nutrition settings, nanotechnology applications for increasing bioavailability of bioactive food components in new food products, nanotechnology opportunities in food science, as well as emerging safety and regulatory issues in this area, and the basic research applications such as the use of quantum dots to visualize cellular processes and protein-protein interactions. The session highlighted several emerging areas of potential utility in nutrition research. Nutrition scientists are encouraged to leverage ongoing efforts in nanomedicine through collaborations. These efforts could facilitate exploration of previously inaccessible cellular compartments and intracellular pathways and thus uncover strategies for new prevention and therapeutic modalities [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: The Joint-Probability Method (JPM) was adopted by federal agencies for critical post-Katrina determinations of hurricane surge frequencies. In standard JPM implementations, it is necessary to consider a very large number of combinations of storm parameters, and each such combination (or synthetic storm) requires the simulation of wind, waves, and surge. The tools used to model the wave and surge phenomena have improved greatly in recent years, but this improvement and the use of very large high-resolution grids have made the computations both time-consuming and expensive. In order to ease the computational burden, two independent approaches have been developed to reduce the number of storm surge simulations that are required. Both of these so-called JPM-OS (JPM-Optimal Sampling) methods seek to accurately cover the entire storm parameter space through optimum selection of a small number of parameter values so as to minimize the number of required storm simulations. Tests done for the Mississippi coast showed that the accuracy of the two methods is comparable to that of a full JPM analysis, with a reduction of an order of magnitude or more in the computational effort.

AB - Abstract: Hurricane Katrina caused devastating flooding in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. Storm surge surrounded the polder that comprises heavily populated sections of the Parish in addition to the Lower 9th Ward section of Orleans Parish. Surge propagated along several pathways to reach levees and walls around the polder''s periphery. Extreme water levels led to breaches in the levee/wall system which, along with wave overtopping and steady overflow, led to considerable flood water entering the polder. Generation and evolution of the storm surge as it propagated into the region is examined using results from the SL15 regional application of the ADCIRC storm surge model. Fluxes of water into the region through navigation channels are compared to fluxes which entered through Lake Borgne and over inundated wetlands surrounding the lake. Fluxes through Lake Borgne and adjacent wetlands were found to be the predominant source of water reaching the region. Various sources of flood water along the polder periphery are examined. Flood water primarily entered through the east and west sides of the polder. Different peak surges and hydrograph shapes were experienced along the polder boundaries, and reasons for the spatial variability in surge conditions are discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - Abstract: A 1:50 scale physical model was constructed for the 17th Street Canal region, New Orleans, on the southern coast of Lake Pontchartrain, as part of the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force (IPET) study of Hurricane Katrina. The purpose of the 1350m2 physical model that represented about 3.4km2 of the local area was to aid in defining wave and water velocity conditions in the 17th Street Canal during the time period leading up to the breaching of the floodwall within the Canal. In the immediate period following this disaster, there were many hypothesis of failure put forth in the media. Some of these hypothesis indicated wave action may have been the underlying cause of the failure of the 17th Street Canal floodwall. Some performed numerical work with inappropriate boundary conditions, which indicated strong wave-generated currents may have caused erosion along the floodwalls. This physical model study indicated a number of wave-attenuating processes occurring as waves approached the location of the breach. Wave height reduction resulted due to: (1) refraction of wave energy over the shallower submerged land areas surrounding the harbor away from the canal; (2) reflection of energy off vertical walls in the region between the entrance to the canal near the Coast Guard Harbor and the bridge; and (3) interaction of the wave with the Hammond Highway bridge, including reflection and transmission loss. Wave heights near the lakeside of the bridge were 0.3–0.9m in height, reduced from 1.8 to 2.7m wave heights in the open lake. Waves on the south side of the bridge, near the breach, were further reduced to heights below 0.3m. These results supported the conclusion that waves were not a significant factor for the 17th Street Canal floodwall failure. Other IPET investigations determined floodwall failure was of a geotechnical nature due to the high surge water level. The physical model also provided calibration information for numerical wave models. The effects of debris on flow and waves after the breach was formed were also investigated.

AB - The volume of sediment required to perform a sediment toxicity bioassay is a major driver of the overall cost associated with that bioassay. Sediment volume affects bioassay cost because of sediment collection, transportation, storage, and disposal costs as well as labor costs associated with organism recovery at the conclusion of the exposure. The objective of the current study was to evaluate reduced sediment volume versions of the standard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) 10-d acute Leptocheirus plumulosus method that uses a beaker size of 1,000 ml and 20 organisms. The test design used evaluated the effects of beaker size (250 and 100 ml) and associated sediment volume (75 and 30 ml, respectively) as well as organism loading density (10 and 20 organisms) on test endpoint responsiveness relative to the standard 10-d test method. These comparisons were completed with three different types of contaminated sediments: a field-collected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated sediment, a lead-spiked control sediment, and a control sediment spiked with mineral oil. Assessment criteria included test endpoint sensitivity, endpoint consistency, statistical power, water quality, and logistical assessments. Results indicate that the current U.S. EPA method is preferable to the reduced sediment volume methods we assessed, but that a 250-ml beaker/10 organism experimental design is of comparable utility and may be advantageous when reduced sediment volumes are desirable because of high contaminant (spiking studies) or sediment disposal costs. In addition, the results of the current study provide toxicity reference values for PAHs, lead, and an oil surrogate for petroleum hydrocarbons. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - Birds are exposed to Pb by oral ingestion of spent Pb shot as grit. A paucity of data exists for retention and clearance of these particles in the bird gastrointestinal tract. In the current study, northern bobwhite quail ( Colinus virginianus) were orally gavaged with 1, 5, or 10 Pb shot pellets, of 2-mm diameter, and radiographically followed over time. Blood Pb levels and other measures of toxicity were collected, to correlate with pellet retention. Quail dosed with either 5 or 10 pellets exhibited morbidity between weeks 1 and 2 and were removed from further study. Most of the Pb pellets were absorbed or excreted within 14 d of gavage, independent of dose. Pellet size in the ventriculus decreased over time in radiographs, suggesting dissolution caused by the acidic pH. Birds dosed with one pellet showed mean blood Pb levels that exceeded 1,300 µg/dl at week 1, further supporting dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract. Limited signs of toxicity were seen in the one-pellet birds; however, plasma δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (d-ALAD) activity was persistently depressed, suggesting possible impaired hematological function.

AB - The degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB- co-4HB)) coated brown Kraft paper and its components in a constructed soil environment was investigated. Soil burial tests were carried out over 8 weeks. Weight loss measurements, photographic analysis, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were conducted to assess the physical, structural, mechanical and thermal behavior before and after the soil burial test. Paper showed the highest physical degradation and weight loss. With respect to the control samples, the stiffness of the partially degraded samples decreased. The overall crystallinity of the biopolymer and the coated paper was affected significantly by burial. The pure biopolymer's weight loss was substantially enhanced when coated on paper. This result reveals a possible increased microbial population in the coated paper relative to the pure biopolymer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The present study evaluated sorbent amendments for in situ remediation of sediments contaminated with two divalent metals. A literature review screening was performed to identify low-cost natural mineral-based metal sorbents and high-performance commercial sorbents that were carried forward into laboratory experiments. Aqueous phase metal sorptivity of the selected sorbents was evaluated because dissolved metals in sediment porewater constitute an important route of exposure to benthic organisms. Based on pH-edge sorption test results, natural sorbents were eliminated due to inferior performance. The potential as in situ sediment amendment was explored by comparing the sorption properties of the engineered amendments in freshwater and saltwater (10 PPT salinity estuarine water) matrices. Self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports with thiols (Thiol-SAMMS™) and a titanosilicate mineral (ATS™) demonstrated the highest sorption capacity for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), respectively. Sequential extraction tests conducted after mixing engineered sorbents with contaminated sediment demonstrated transfer of metal contaminants from a weakly bound state to a more strongly bound state. Biouptake of Cd in a freshwater oligochaete was reduced by 98% after 5-d contact of sediment with 4% Thiol-SAMMS and sorbed Cd was not bioavailable. While treatment with ATS reduced the small easily extractable portion of Pb in the sediment, the change in biouptake of Pb was not significant because most of the native lead was strongly bound. The selected sorbents added to sediments at a dose of 5% were mostly nontoxic to a range of sensitive freshwater and estuarine benthic organisms. Metal sorbent amendments in conjunction with activated carbon have the potential to simultaneously reduce metal and hydrophobic contaminant bioavailability in sediments. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in Lake Ontario watershed sediments were assessed for benthic bioavailability through the use of biota-sediment accumulation factors. Sediments from lake and Rochester Harbor (lower Genesee River) areas were investigated. Congeners 47, 66, 85, 99 and 100 were detected in tissues of the oligochaete Lumbriculus variegatus. Biota-sediment accumulation factors ranged from 3.95 (congener 154) to 19.5 (congener 28) and were higher at the Lake Ontario area. The lower biota-sediment accumulation factors for the Rochester Harbor sediment may result from a higher fraction of black carbon generally expected in highly urbanized rivers. Degree of bromination may reduce bioavailability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Nano-sized aluminum is currently being used by the military and commercial industries in many applications including coatings, thermites, and propellants. Due to the potential for wide dispersal in soil systems, we chose to investigate the fate and effects of nano-sized aluminum oxide (Al2O3), the oxidized form of nano aluminum, in a terrestrial organism. The toxicity and bioaccumulation potential of micron-sized (50–200 µm, nominal) and nano-sized (11 nm, nominal) Al2O3 was comparatively assessed through acute and subchronic bioassays using the terrestrial earthworm, Eisenia fetida. Subchronic (28-d) studies were performed exposing E. fetida to nano- and micron-sized Al2O3-spiked soils to assess the effects of long-term exposure. No mortality occurred in subchronic exposures, although reproduction decreased at ≥3,000 mg/kg nano-sized Al2O3 treatments, with higher aluminum body burdens observed at 100 and 300 mg/kg; no reproductive effects were observed in the micron-sized Al2O3 treatments. In addition to toxicity and bioaccumulation bioassays, an acute (48-h) behavioral bioassay was conducted utilizing a soil avoidance wheel in which E. fetida were given a choice of habitat between control, nano-, or micron-sized Al2O3 amended soils. In the soil avoidance bioassays, E. fetida exhibited avoidance behavior toward the highest concentrations of micron- and nano-sized Al2O3 (>5,000 mg/kg) relative to control soils. Results of the present study indicate that nano-sized Al2O3 may impact reproduction and behavior of E. fetida, although at high levels unlikely to be found in the environment. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - During the last four years, significant effort has been devoted to understanding the effects that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita had on contaminant distribution and redistribution in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, and the surrounding Gulf Coast area. Elevated concentrations were found for inorganic contaminants (including As, Fe, Pb, and V), several organic pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, and volatiles) and high concentration of bioaerosols, particularly Aeromonas and Vibrio. Data from different research groups confirm that some contaminant concentrations are elevated, that existing concentrations are similar to historical data, and that contaminants such as Pb and As may pose human health risks. Two data sets have been compiled in this article to serve as the foundation for preliminary risk assessments within greater New Orleans. Research from the present study suggests that children in highly contaminated areas of New Orleans may experience Pb exposure from soil ranging from 1.37 µg/d to 102 µg/d. These data are critical in the evaluation of children's health. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2010;29:1429–1437. © 2010 SETAC [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Lethal effects of trinitrotoluene (TNT) to juvenile sheepshead minnows (JSHM) (Cyprinodon variegatus) were assessed in ten-day water exposures. Ten-day median lethal concentrations (LC50s) were 2.3 and 2.5mgL−1, the 10-d median lethal residue value (LR50) was 26.1μmolkg−1 wet weight (ww), and bioconcentration factors (BCFs) ranged from 0.7 to 2.4Lkg−1. The lethal effects of TNT and its transformation products 2-aminodinitrotoluene (2-ADNT), 2,4-diaminonitrotoluene (2,4-DANT) and trinitrobenzene (TNB) to JSHM were compared in 5-d static-renewal exposures. Nitroreduction decreased the toxicity of TNT to SHM, as the 5-d LC50 for 2-ADNT was 8.6mgL−1 and the lowest lethal concentration of 2,4-DANT was 50.3mgL−1. TNB (5-d LC50=1.2mgL−1) was more toxic than TNT to SHM. The 5-d LR50s were 4.3mgkg−1 ww (20.4μmolkg−1) for SumTNT (TNT exposure) and 54.2mgkg−1 ww (275.3μmolkg−1) for 2-ADNT and significant mortality occurred at 47.4mgkg−1 ww (283.6μmolkg−1). The range of BCF values was from 1.8 to 2.4, 5.6 to 8.0, and 0.6 to 0.9Lkg−1 for TNT, 2-ADNT, and 2,4-DANT, respectively. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB - The vast majority of investigations into the bioavailability and toxicity of explosives to receptors in aquatic environments has focused on deriving toxicity metrics for discrete chemical exposures to single species using pure compounds at relatively high concentrations. This study assessed the environmental fate and potential for biological effects of a common military formulation, Composition B, under more realistic exposure scenarios (e.g., those that more closely simulate a breached artillery round or residual exposure following a low-order detonation). We used a novel approach incorporating multiple species and toxicity endpoints in sediment exposures over a 34-d exposure period. Composition B fragments exposed at the sediment surface rapidly released 2,4,6-trinitrotolune (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) to the overlying water column. In comparison, burial of fragments resulted in dramatically reduced exposure, bioconcentration, and toxicity. The addition of a conservative flow rate to the aquaria also reduced water and tissue concentrations by factors of two to three. Although the exposure system likely represented a worst-case scenario relative to most conditions found in coastal and estuarine environments, overlying water concentrations generally did not approach known toxicity thresholds, while porewater concentrations were sufficiently elevated above toxicity thresholds immediately adjacent to the fragments, limiting hazardous exposure only to very localized scales. Bioconcentration correlated closely with observed toxicity and was either not detectable (buried), or low (exposed), as is expected based on the low hydrophobicities of TNT and RDX. Environ. Toxicol.

AB - The past decade has seen increased international recognition of the importance of the services provided by natural ecosystems. It is unclear however whether such international awareness will lead to improved environmental management in many regions. We explore this issue by examining the specific case of fish migration and dams on the Mekong river. We determine that dams on the Mekong mainstem and major tributaries will have a major impact on the basin's fisheries and the people who depend upon them for food and income. We find no evidence that current moves towards dam construction will stop, and consider two scenarios for the future of the fisheries and other ecosystems of the basin. We conclude that major investment is required in innovative technology to reduce the loss of ecosystem services, and alternative livelihood strategies to cope with the losses that do occur.

AB - Soil erosion and runoff due to mechanical disturbances on military training ranges can cause problems such as land degradation and environmental pollution of downstream ecosystems. This paper discusses runoff and sediment transport from compost mulch berms on a simulated military training landscape. The berms were constructed using mixtures of municipal yard waste (YW), wood chips (WC), pine bark fines (PB), and sub-soil (SL) in eight different proportions at Hazel Green, North Alabama, in Fall 2006. Berms made from 100% soil, which had over 140 000 L ha-1 of runoff and 13.3 kg ha-1 of sediment transport over the study period, had the greatest risk of causing off-site negative environmental effects. Berms made from 100% PB and 100% WC or combinations of compost materials without soil had the lowest risk of causing environmental pollution from runoff and sediment transport. Compared to soil, compost mulches can significantly reduce negative environmental effects to downstream ecosystems when used for berm construction on military training ranges. However, measures to minimize transport of C and N in runoff sediment, such as planting grass cover crops, need to be evaluated to make the technology more environmentally sustainable.

AB - The aim of this study was to determine the potential for dietary uptake by trophic transfer using the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and the substantially more hydrophobic dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) utilizing the amphipods Leptocheirus plumulosus as prey and the fish Cyprinodon variegatus as predator. Bioaccumulation did not change significantly over time for TNT but apparent steady-state was not reached for DDT at exposure termination after 7 days of dietary exposure. The bioaccumulation factor was 0.09 mg/mg for TNT and 0.34 mg/mg for DDT, confirming the low potential of TNT to bioaccumulate in fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The modification of land and water resources for human use alters the natural hydrologic flow regime of a downstream receiving body of water. The natural flow regime is essential for sustaining biotic structure and equilibrium within the ecosystem. Best management practices mitigate the increased storm water runoff due to increased imperviousness and are typically designed and located within a watershed to match peak and minimum flows for a small set of targeted design storms. Ecosystems are, however, affected by all the characteristics of a long-term flow regime, including the magnitude, duration, frequency, and timing of flows. A more environmentally sustainable approach for watershed development is presented based on the minimization of differences in the characteristics of the flow regime between predevelopment and postdevelopment conditions. The indicator of hydrologic alteration (IHA) is a set of 33 hydrologic indices that characterize a flow regime and, coupled with the range of variability approach (RVA), can be used to evaluate a development strategy for its alteration of the long-term hydrologic flow regime. This paper presents a methodology to identify watershed management strategies that will have a minimal impact on the flow regime and downstream ecosystems. This methodology utilizes a metric that evaluates development strategies based on an IHA/RVA analysis implemented within a simulation-optimization framework. Continuous simulation of urban runoff for different land use strategies is enabled through the use of the storm water management model, and the resulting long-term hydrograph is analyzed using IHA/RVA. Development is allocated within subcatchments to maintain a predefined minimum level of total development while minimizing the hydrologic alteration. A hybrid optimization approach based on genetic algorithm and Nelder-Meade approaches is used to identify optimal land use allocation. Further analysis is conducted to identify alternative development patterns that allocate impervious development maximally differently among subcatchments while achieving similarly low alteration in the hydrologic flow regime.

AB - The use of lead in military and civilian small arms projectiles is widely acknowledged to have resulted in high soil lead concentrations at many small arms ranges. These ranges are often adjacent to wildlife habitat or have become habitat when no longer used. To assess the potential toxicity of lead to terrestrial amphibians in contaminated areas, we exposed 100 red-backed salamanders ( Plethodon cinereus) to either a control soil or one of four soil treatments amended with lead acetate for 28 days. Analytical mean soil concentrations were 14 (control), 553, 1700, 4700, and 9167 mg Pb/kg soil dry weight. An additional 60 salamanders were also exposed for 28 days to one of six field-collected soil samples from a small arms range and a skeet range. The field soil concentrations ranged from 11 (background) to 16,967 mg Pb/kg soil dry weight. Food consisted of uncontaminated flightless Drosophila melanogaster. Salamander survival was reduced in amended soil treatments of 4700 and 9167 mg/kg by 15% and 80%, respectively. Inappetence was observed at 4700 and 9167 mg/kg and growth decreased in the 9167 mg/kg treatment. Total white blood cells decreased 32% at 4700 mg/kg compared to controls and were 22% lower in the 9167 mg/kg treatment. In contrast, survival was 100% for all field-collected soils with no hematological effects. At 16,967 mg/kg there was evidence of soil avoidance and decreased growth. These data suggest marked differences in toxicity and bioavailability of the lead-amended soil in contrast to the field-collected soil containing lead. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - The uptake of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) from soil by the earthworm Eisenia andrei was examined by using the equilibrium partitioning (EqP) theory and a three-compartment model including soil (S), interstitial water (IW), and earthworms (E). The RDX concentrations were measured using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Method 8330A and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The S-IW studies were conducted using four natural soils with contrasting physicochemical properties that were hypothesized to affect the bioavailability of RDX. Each soil was amended with nominal RDX concentrations ranging from 1 to 10,000 mg/kg. The HPLC analysis showed that the IW extracted from soil was saturated with RDX at 80 mg/kg or greater soil concentrations. The calculated S-IW coefficient (Kp) values for RDX ranged from 0.4 to 1.8 ml/g soil, depending on the soil type, and were influenced by the organic matter content. In the IW-E studies, earthworms were exposed to nonlethal RDX concentrations in aqueous media. The uptake of RDX by the earthworms correlated well (r2 = 0.99) with the dissolved RDX concentrations. For the E-S studies, earthworms were exposed to RDX-amended soils used in the S-IW studies. The bioconcentration factors (BCF; ratios of E-to-IW RDX concentrations) were relatively constant (∼5) up to 80 mg/kg soil RDX concentrations, which encompass the RDX saturation limit in the interstitial water of the tested soils. At this concentration range, the RDX uptake from interstitial water was likely dominated by passive diffusion and could be used as an indicator of bioavailability. Other mechanisms may be involved at greater RDX soil concentrations. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2010;29:998–1005. © 2009 SETAC [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Japanese medaka ( Oryzias latipes) is a valuable model organism in reproductive and developmental toxicity testing. The purpose of this experiment is to assess the response of medaka to aquatic estrogen exposure over the course of 1 year. Each week, three pairs of adult male medaka were exposed separately for 4 days (100% static renewal daily) to 17β-estradiol at a nominal level of 25 μg/l, with a fourth pair of fish exposed separately to an ethanol control. Vitellogenin (VTG) induction was observed each week, with hepatic and plasma VTG levels significantly higher ( P < 0.001) than reported for ethanol control specimens. A significant ( P < 0.001) increasing trend was observed for plasma VTG results over the duration of the study, whereas a decreasing trend ( P = 0.030) of hepatic VTG was evident. A Durbin–Watson test, however, did not demonstrate any serial autocorrelation of hepatic ( d = 1.180) or plasma ( d = 1.311) VTG levels over the duration of the study. Time-series transformations of the hepatic and plasma VTG data did not reveal any significant seasonal or behavioral patterns. However, significant intermittent peaks in VTG production were observed in both tissue types during the study. These data indicate that some consideration must be taken to time long-term medaka exposures (>20 weeks) in order to eliminate any influence of cyclic changes on plasma VTG response. Alternatively, hepatic cytosolic measurement of VTG appears to show a more sensitive response to aquatic estrogen exposure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Background: Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder that is characterized by painful vaso-occlusive crises, for which there are few treatment options. Platelets mediate intercellular adhesion and thrombosis during vaso-occlusion in sickle cell anemia, which suggests a role for antiplatelet agents in modifying disease events.Methods: Children and adolescents 2 through 17 years of age with sickle cell anemia were randomly assigned to receive oral prasugrel or placebo for 9 to 24 months. The primary end point was the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis, a composite of painful crisis or acute chest syndrome. The secondary end points were the rate of sickle cell-related pain and the intensity of pain, which were assessed daily with the use of pain diaries.Results: A total of 341 patients underwent randomization at 51 sites in 13 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The rate of vaso-occlusive crisis events per person-year was 2.30 in the prasugrel group and 2.77 in the placebo group (rate ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.66 to 1.05; P=0.12). There were no significant differences between the groups in the secondary end points of diary-reported events. The safety end points, including the frequency of bleeding events requiring medical intervention, of hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic adverse events that occurred while patients were taking prasugrel or placebo, and of discontinuations due to prasugrel or placebo, did not differ significantly between the groups.Conclusions: Among children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia, the rate of vaso-occlusive crisis was not significantly lower among those who received prasugrel than among those who received placebo. There were no significant between-group differences in the safety findings. (Funded by Daiichi Sankyo and Eli Lilly; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01794000.). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - As American and British troops pushed into the heart of the Third Reich during the spring of 1945 (March-May 1945), the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff began making preparations for a postwar force that supposedly would maintain the peace on the European continent and prevent the outbreak of a third, more devastating conflict. Unfortunately, as events turned out, the victorious U.S. Army of some 8 million men that had fought in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) rapidly demobilized once the surrender of Germany (and later Japan) had been achieved. This in turn left Germany and much of Western Europe, already devastated by the effects of the war on their soil vulnerable to exploitation and possible invasion by the Soviet Army. Maintaining the peace in Europe was a U.S. military that was but a remnant of the mighty U.S. and British military machine that had defeated the Wehrmacht, that had now been whittled down to a mere occupation or constabulary force.1 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - This study examines the adoption of business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce by bricks-and-mortar companies comprising the Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) listings between 1992 and 2003. B2C represents a Type III information systems (IS) innovation that integrates IS with core business technologies. Extant studies on Type III innovations have examined organizational and institutional factors, solely or collectively, in explaining adoption, but not how their effects change under shifting environments over time. We develop an integrated model comprising organizational factors (i.e., espoused values and resources) and institutional factors (i.e., normative and mimetic pressures), as well as the moderating influence of shifting environments (i.e., early period and late period demarcated by changes in the environment). Using a piecewise event-history model specification, we examine the adoption of B2C innovations by 93 organizations over time. Our results show that both organizational and institutional factors influence B2C adoption; however, their effects varied with the environmental shifts. Specifically, senior IS executives influenced adoption in the early period whereas bandwagon mimetic pressures and business norms influenced adoption in the late period. The findings of our research demonstrate the importance of explicitly modeling environmental shifts in theorizing organizational adoption of innovations.Journal of Information Technology (2009) 24, 219–230. doi:10.1057/jit.2008.22; published online 2 December 2008 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2 - The article discusses a study that determined the incidence of medial collateral ligament (MCL) tears among athletes, the demographics and other athletic risk factors. Calculated were incidence rates (IRs) of MCL sprains per 1000 person-years and IR per 1000 athlete-exposures (AEs) among intercollegiate, intramural and male and female athletes. Conclusions indicated the prevalence of MCL injuries in contact sports with greater risks for male athletes at 89% than female athletes at 11%.

N2 - Lower body negative pressure (LBNP), a model of hemorrhage (Hem), shifts blood to the legs and elicits central hypovolemia. This study compared responses to LBNP and actual Hem in sedated baboons. Arterial pressure, pulse pressure (PP), central venous pressure (CVP), heart rate, stroke volume (SV), and +dP/df were measured. Hem steps were 6.25%, 12.5%, 18.75%, and 25% of total estimated blood volume. Shed blood was returned, and 4 wk after Hem, the same animals were subjected to four LBNP levels which elicited equivalent changes in PP and CVP observed during Hem. Blood gases, hematocrit (Hct), hemoglobin (Hb), plasma renin activity (PRA), vasopressin (AVP), epinephrine (EPI), and norepinephrine (NE) were measured at baseline and maximum Hem or LBNP. LBNP levels matched with 6.25%, 12.5%, 18.75%, and 25% hemorrhage were -22 ± 6, -41 ± 7, -54 ± 10, and -71 ± 7 mmHg, respectively (mean ± SD). Hemodynamic responses to Hem and LBNP were similar. SV decreased linearly such that 25% Hem and matching LBNP caused a 50% reduction in SV. Hem caused a decrease in Hct, Hb, and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2). In contrast, LBNP increased Hct and Hb, while ScvO2 remained unchanged. Hem caused greater elevations in AVP and NE than LBNP, while PRA, EPI, and other hematologic indexes did not differ between studies. These results indicate that while LBNP does not elicit the same effect on blood cell loss as Hem, LBNP mimics the integrative cardiovascular response to Hem, and validates the use of LBNP as an experimental model of central hypovolemia associated with Hem.

AB - Studies have yielded consistent variables associated with military suicides: age (17 to 30 years), gender (male), race (white), and previous mental health conditions. Military experience variables have shown little associations with suicide. Taken together, findings may be explained, in part, by age-specific psychosocial tasks (e.g., intimacy versus isolation and identity versus role confusion). Both relate directly to the extent that the individual is socially integrated—tasks health and medical research literature have described as increasingly more difficult for youth to effectively accomplish. Contextual circumstances, such as gender and race, appear to provide necessary supports to successfully accomplish these psychosocial tasks.

AB - Many professions vital to the safety of society require workers to face high magnitude and potentially traumatizing events. Because this routine exposure can cause high levels of stress in workers, it is important to investigate factors that contribute to both risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and healthy responses to stress. Although some research has found social support to mitigate the effects of posttraumatic stress symptoms, scant research has investigated organizational support. The aim of the present study is to investigate the temporal relationship between stress symptoms and perceived organizational support in a sample of 1,039 service members deployed to the peacekeeping mission to Kosovo. Participants completed self-report measures of stress symptoms and perceived organizational support at 4 study time points. Bivariate latent difference score structural equation modeling was utilized to examine the temporal relationship among stress and perceived organizational support. In general, across the 4 time points, latent PCL scores evidenced a salient and negative relationship to subsequent POS latent difference scores. However, no significant relationship was found between latent POS variables and subsequent PCL latent difference scores. Findings suggest that prior stress symptoms are influencing service member’s perceptions of the supportiveness of their organization such that increased prior stress is associated with worsening perceptions of support. These results illustrate that targeting stress directly may potentiate the positive influence of organizational support and that institutional support programs should be adapted to better account for the negative biases increased distress may encourage.

AB - Deployments increase risk for adjustment problems in service members. To mitigate this increased risk, mental health training programs have been developed and implemented in several nations. As part of a coordinated effort, three nations adapted a U.S. mental health training program that had been validated by a series of group randomized trials demonstrating improvement in postdeployment adjustment. Implementation of evidence-based programs in a new context is challenging: How much of the original program needs to remain intact in order to retain its utility? User satisfaction rates can provide essential data to assess how well a program is accepted. This article summarizes service member ratings of postdeployment mental health training and compares ratings from service members across four nations. The participating nations (Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States) administered mental health training to active duty military personnel in their respective nations. Following the training, military personnel completed an evaluation of the training. Overall, across the four nations, more than 70% of military personnel agreed or strongly agreed that they were satisfied with the mental health training. Although some differences in evaluations were observed across nations, components of training that were most important to overall satisfaction with the training were strikingly similar across nations. Fundamentally, it appears feasible that despite cultural and organizational differences, a mental health training program developed in one nation can be successfully adapted for use in other nations.

AB - This article details the administration and results of an experiment conducted to assess the impact of three video game design concepts upon learning outcomes. The principles tested include game aesthetics, player choice, and player competition. The experiment participants were asked to play a serious game over the course of a week, and the learning outcomes were measured by comparing their pretest and posttest scores. The results of a one-tailedttest indicated, with apvalue of 0.043, that there was a statistically significant effect of the aesthetic presentation of the game upon the learning outcome. There was no indication of a significant effect by the player choice or player competition conditions, but the results from these experiment groups point to some potentially interesting interactions between the conditions and learning, as well as possible future lines of experimental inquiry.

AB - Cognitive radio techniques are being applied to many different communications systems. They hold promise for increasing utilization of radio frequencies that are underutilized today, allowing for improved commercial data services, and allowing for new emergency and military communications services [1]. For example, these techniques are being considered by the U.S. FCC for communications services in unlicensed VHF and UHF TV bands. Although traditionally these techniques are closely associated with software- defined radios, many standards such as WiFi (IEEE 802.11), Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4), and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) already include some degree of CR technology today. Further advances are occurring rapidly. IEEE 802.22 will be the first cognitive radio-based international standard with tangible frequency bands for its operation. Standardization is at the core of the current and future success of cognitive radio. Industry stakeholders are participating in international standards activities governing the use of cognitive radio techniques for dynamic spectrum access and coexistence, next-generation radio and spectrum management, and interoperability in infrastructure-less wireless networks. This article provides a review of standardization activities for cognitive radio technologies and comments on prospects and issues for future standardization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Abstract: Four dual-task experiments examined visuospatial, articulatory, and central executive working memory involvement during the development and application of spatial mental models. In Experiments 1 and 2 participants read route and survey spatial descriptions while undertaking one of four secondary tasks targeting working memory components. Converging evidence from map drawing and statement verification tasks indicates that while articulatory mechanisms are involved in processing the language itself, visuospatial and central executive mechanisms are involved in developing spatial mental models, particularly during route description reading. In Experiments 3 and 4 participants undertook the same working memory tasks, but did so during testing; results from memory and secondary task performance converge to demonstrate that using spatial mental models is a visuospatially and centrally demanding process, particularly following route description learning. Taken together, results demonstrate that spatial mental model development and application are contingent upon multiple working memory systems and interact with representational formats.

AB - AbstractRehabilitation of mangrove habitat has become common practice, but few studies have investigated the growth and survival of mangrove on artificial substrates. Managers attempting to plant mangrove in sites containing artificial substrates must remove substrates or risk poor performance of rehabilitation efforts. This study compared propagule retention, early survival, growth, flowering success, and nutrient concentrations of Avicennia marina (grey mangrove) grown on sand, naturally occurring substrate, and rock blast furnace slag over two growing seasons at an experimental site near Newcastle, Australia. Nutrient concentrations of experimental plants were also compared to those of naturally occurring plants. Experimental results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in short-term survival, growth over the two growing seasons, and carbon and nitrogen concentrations between plants grown on different substrates. Comparison of plants grown in slag and plants from reference sites suggests, however, that slag does not lead to anomalies in nutrient concentrations of young mangroves. Although the results identified some differences between plants grown on river sand, naturally occurring substrate, and slag substrate, the absence of consistent differences suggests that mangroves planted in slag are under no greater risk of future failure than mangroves planted in naturally occurring substrate.

AB - This article cites a study analyzing the warehouse measurement systems in the context of supply chain implementation. Supply chain management is one of the most popular management concepts to impact business and the logistics concept in the 1990s. This empirical research particularly focuses on how firms measure the performance of their warehouse operations. A survey instrument was designed and was used on a total of 296 respondents. A follow-up phone call was made to all the pre-test survey recipients to clarify any comments that were made about the content and clarity of the survey. The respondents were also asked to identify which primary unit of measurement they would be using when responding to the measurement questions. Finally, various types of demographic data were collected to help describe the respondent base as well as serve as a basis for analysis. Based on findings of the study it was concluded that there appears to be a significant difference between the nature of warehouse measures as well as perceived measure effectiveness for firms following different paths concerning the implementation of a supply chain philosophy.

AB - Summary 1. The ’hydrogeomorphic‘ approach to functional assessment of wetlands (HGM) was developed as a synthetic mechanism for compensatory mitigation of wetlands lost or damaged by human activities. The HGM approach is based on: (a) classification of wetlands by geomorphic origin and hydrographic regime (b) assessment models that associate variables as indicators of function, and (c) comparison to reference wetlands that represent the range of conditions that may be expected in a particular region. In this paper, we apply HGM to riparian wetlands of alluvial rivers. 2. In the HGM classification, riverine wetlands are characterized by formative fluvial processes that occur mainly on flood plains. The dominant water sources are overbank flooding from the channel or subsurface hyporheic flows. Examples of riverine wetlands in the U.S.A. are: bottomland hardwood forests that typify the low gradient, fine texture substratum of the south-eastern coastal plain and the alluvial flood plains that typify the high gradient, coarse texture substratum of western montane rivers. 3. Assessment (logic) models for each of fourteen alluvial wetland functions are described. Each model is a composite of two to seven wetland variables that are independently scored in relation to a reference data set developed for alluvial rivers in the western U.S.A. Scores are summarized by a ’functional capacity index‘ (FCI), which is multiplied by the area of the project site to produce a dimensionless ’functional capacity unit‘ (FCU). When HGM is properly used, compensatory mitigation is based on the FCUs lost that must be returned to the riverine landscape under statutory authority. 4. The HGM approach also provides a framework for long-term monitoring of mitigation success or failure and, if failing, a focus on topical remediation. 5. We conclude that HGM is a robust and easy method for protecting riparian wetlands, which are critically important... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Tall (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and hard (Festuca ovina var. longifolia (L.) Koch) fescues are widely sown to stabilize disturbed soils in the cool--humid and transition climatic zones of the USA. Our objectives were to: a) quantify changes in the allocation of dry matter and growth of tall and hard fescue, forced to grow on stored soil water in sandy soil; and b) compare dry matter allocation over time between roots and shoots to evaluate the dynamics of root-associated drought avoidance mechanisms. A randomized complete block experiment with four replications and two factors (species and stress level) was conducted in a greenhouse. The main blocks consisted of two fescue species: tall fescue and hard fescue; sub-blocks contained stress levels: well-watered and stressed. Low, medium and severe stresses were imposed by withholding water in one set of pots. The types of fescue species grown significantly affected leaf area (LA), plant height (PH), water use (WU), root length (RL), longest root (LR), root area (RA), shoot (SDB) and root dry biomass (RDB), and root : shoot ratio (R/S). Stress level affected PH, WU, LR and RL at low stress; WU, LR and RA at medium stress; LA, PH, SDB, WU, RL, LR, RA and R/S at severe stress. Tall fescue had greater LA, PH, WU, RA, RL, LR. SDB, RDB and R/S than hard fescue under all treatments. Stress reduced LA, PH, SDB, WU, RA, RL, LR and R/S. Significant correlations were obtained for LA with RL. WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; RL with WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; WU with LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; LR with PH, RA, SDB, RDB; PH with RA, SDB, RDB; RA with SDB, RDB; and SDB with RDB. In conclusion, hard fescue had a shallower root system, shorter plant canopy, slower growth, and transpired less water to make it more drought tolerant. Tall fescue, with a deeper root system, longer plant canopy, faster growth, and greater water transpiration, is less drought tolerant at medium and severe stresses. Root attributes strongly correlated with shoot attributes and can be considered for breeding programs promoting drought tolerance. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
AB - Rohr- (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) und Schafschwingel (Festuca ovina var. longifolia (L.) Koch) sind weit verbreitet angesäte Grasarten, mit denen gestörte Böden im kalt-humiden sowie Übergangsklimazonen der USA stabilisiert werden sollen. Unsere Ziet war es zu: a) Änderungen in der Allokation von Trockenmasse und das Wachstum von Rohr- und Schafschwingel, die in sandigen Böden mit Stauwasser zu wachsen gezwungen wurden, zu quantifizieren, b) die Trockenmasseallokation Im Zeitablauf zwischen Wurzeln und Sproß zu vergleichen und die Dynamik der auf die Wurzel bezogenen Trockenheitsvermeidungsmechanismen zu bewerten. Ein randomisiertes komplettes Blockexperiment mit vier Wiederholungen und zwei Faktoren (Arten und Streßstärke) wurde im Gewächshaus durchgeführt. Die Hauptblöcke bestanden aus den beiden Schwingelarten: Rohr- und Schafschwingel; die Unterblöcke enthielten die Streßstärken:gut bewässert und streßbewässert. Geringe, mittlere und starke Streßwirkungen wurden durch Zurückhalten der Bewässerung in den Gefäßen erzielt. Die verwendeten Schwingelarten waren signifikant beeinflußt hinsichtlich der Blattfläche (LA), der Pflanzenhöhe (PH), der Wassernutzung (WU), der Wurzellänge (RL), der längsten Wurzel (LR), der Wurzeloberfläche (RA), der Sproß-(SDB) und der Wurzel-Trockenbiomasse (RDB) sowie des Wurzel:Sproß-Verhältnisses (R/S). Die Streßstärke beeinflußte PH, WU, LR sowie RL bei niedrigem Streß; WU, LR und RA bei mittlerem Streß; LA, PH, SDB, WU, RL, LR, RA und R/S bei starkem Streß. Rohrschwingel hatte eine größere LA, PH, WU, RA, RL, LR, SDB, RDB und R/S als Schafschwingel unter allen Behandlungen. Streß reduzierte LA, PH, SDB, WU, RA, RL, LR und R/S. Signifikante Korrelationen wurden beobachtet für LA mit RL, WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; für RL mit WU, LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; für WU mit LR, PH, RA, SDB, RDB; LR mit PH, RA, SDB, RDB; für PH mit RA, SDB, RDB; für LA mit SDB, RDB und SDB mit RDB. Als Ergebnis kann darauf hingewiesen werden, daß Schafschwingel ein flacheres Wurzelsystem, geringere Pflanzenbestandeshöhe, geringeres Wachstum und eine reduzierte Transpiration als Voraussetzung für Trockenheitstoleranz aufwies. Rohrschwingel mit einem tiefer reichenden Wurzetsystem, höherer Pflanzenbestandeshöhe, schnellerem Wachstum und höherer Transpiration ist dagegen bei mittlerem und schwerem Streß weniger dürretolerant. Die Wurzeleigenschaften waren straff korreliert mit den Sproßeigenschaften und können für Zuchtprogramme zur Verbesserung der Dürretoleranz berücksichtigt werden. (German) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB - Effects of short-term (32 days) flooding on photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, relative growth rate and tissue starch concentrations of flood-intolerant Quercus alba L. (white oak), bottomland Quercus nigra L. (water oak), bottomland Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marshall. (green ash) and flood-tolerant Nyssa aquatica L. (water tupelo) seedlings were studied under controlled conditions. Net photosynthetic rates of flooded N. aquatica seedlings were reduced by 25% throughout the 32-day flooding period. Net photosynthetic rates of flooded Q. alba seedlings fell rapidly to 25% of those of the control seedlings by Day 4 of the flooding treatment and to 5% by Day 16. In F. pennsylvanica and Q. nigra, net photosynthetic rates were reduced to 50% of control values by Day 8 but remained at approximately 30 and 23%, respectively, of control values by Day 32. Leaves of flooded Q. alba seedlings accumulated approximately twice as much starch as leaves of non-flooded control plants, whereas root starch concentrations decreased to 67% of those of control plants by the end of the 32-day flooding treatment. In contrast, flooding caused only a small increase in leaf starch concentrations of N. aquatica plants, but it increased root starch concentrations to 119% of those of the control plants by the end of the experiment. The co-occurring bottomland species, Fraxinus pennsylvanica and Q. nigra, differed from each other in their patterns of stomatal conductance and root starch concentrations. We conclude that the maintenance of low leaf starch concentrations, and high pre-flood root tissue starch concentrations are important characteristics allowing flood-tolerant species to survive in flooded soils.

AB - A series of tracer experiments studying the statistical properties of concentration fluctuations in clouds dispersing in the atmospheric surface layer is described and analyzed. Experiments were conducted at downwind fetches between about 200 and 1200 m, under a wide range of atmospheric conditions ranging from very unstable to moderately stable stratification. The present experiments have addressed basic requirements not met by past field experiments involving instantaneously released clouds; namely, the experiments provided repeat realizations of instantaneously released clouds measured with high-resolution concentration detectors, accompanied by the contemporaneous acquisition of high-quality meteorological and turbulence measurements. Extensive analyses are performed on the cloud concentration data in the framework of relative diffusion. Ensembles of cloud concentration realizations have been constructed. From these ensembles, crosswind and time profiles of the ensemble-mean concentration, concentration variance, ensemble-mean dosage, and dosage variance are obtained. The behaviour of the time profiles of the integral time scale of cloud concentration fluctuations is studied. The use of surface-layer similarity theory for the analysis of the downwind variation of a number of cloud quantities (e.g., cloud size and duration, cloud centre ensemble-mean concentration and dosage, cloud centre concentration and dosage variance, cloud centre integral time scale) is shown to be an effective basis for ordering these quantities. Furthermore, a number of approximate universal relationships describing the behavior of these cloud quantities has been derived. Finally, it is shown that the scaled crosswind and time profiles of ensemble-mean concentration and concentration variance as well as the scaled time profiles of the concentration fluctuation integral time scale exhibit self-similar forms that are independent of atmospheric stratification and downwind fetch.

AB - Refuge has patchy vegetation in sandy soil. During midday and at night, the surface sources and sinks for heat and moisture may thus be different. Although the Sevilleta is broad and level, its metre-scale heterogeneity could therefore violate an assumption on which Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) relies. To test the applicability of MOST in such a setting, we measured the standard deviations of vertical (σ) and longitudinal velocity (σ), temperature (σ), and humidity (σ), the temperature-humidity covariance (tq), and the temperature skewness (S). Dividing the former five quantities by the appropriate flux scales (u, , and q) yielded the nondimensional statistics σ
