TY - JOUR T1 - Modified Method for Detection of Benzoylecgonine in Human Urine by GC-MS: Derivatization Using Pentafluoropropanol/Acetic Anhydride. AN - 1861593057; 28111370 AB - An existing GC-MS method for detecting benzoylecgonine (BZE) in urine was modified by changing derivatizing reagents. This method modification presents a cost-effective alternative derivatization procedure for the detection of BZE in urine by GC-MS. The combination of pentafluoropropanol and acetic anhydride was found to produce the same reaction product for BZE as pentafluoropropanol with pentafluoropropionic anhydride, while reducing reagent cost. With no anhydride present, derivatization of BZE by pentafluoropropanol did not occur. Published by Oxford University Press 2017.

AN - 1861583700; 28106761 AB - Botulinum neurotoxins are diverse proteins. They are currently represented by at least seven serotypes and more than 40 subtypes. New clostridial strains that produce novel neurotoxin variants are being identified with increasing frequency, which presents challenges when organizing the nomenclature surrounding these neurotoxins. Worldwide, researchers are faced with the possibility that toxins having identical sequences may be given different designations or novel toxins having unique sequences may be given the same designations on publication. In order to minimize these problems, an ad hoc committee consisting of over 20 researchers in the field of botulinum neurotoxin research was convened to discuss the clarification of the issues involved in botulinum neurotoxin nomenclature. This publication presents a historical overview of the issues and provides guidelines for botulinum neurotoxin subtype nomenclature in the future.

AN - 1852677546; 27966961 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.

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.

AN - 1844023402; 27886449 AB - Geometric gradients within ordered micro/nanostructures exhibit unique wetting properties. Well-defined and ordered microsphere arrays with geometric gradient (OMAGG) are successfully fabricated through combining colloidal lithography and inclined reactive ion etching (RIE). During the inclined RIE, the graded etching rates in vertical direction of etcher chamber are the key to generating a geometric gradient. The OMAGG can be used as an effective mask for the preparation of micro/nanostructure arrays with geometric gradient by selective RIE. Through this strategy, a well-defined wettability "library" with graded silicon cone arrays is fabricated, and the possibility of screening one desired "book" from the designated wettability "library" is demonstrated. Meanwhile, the silicon cone arrays with geometric gradient (SCAGG) can be applied to control the wetting behavior of water after being modified by hydrophilic or hydrophobic chemical groups. Based on this result, a temperature-responsive wetting substrate is fabricated by modifying poly n-isopropyl acrylamide (PNIPAM) on the SCAGG. These wettability gradients have great potential in tissue engineering, microfluidic devices, and integrated sensors. © 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

AN - 1837023772; 27666475 AB - Despite growing concerns over the potential for hydraulic fracturing to impact drinking water resources, there are limited data available to identify chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing fluids that may pose public health concerns. In an effort to explore these potential hazards, a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework was employed to analyze and rank selected subsets of these chemicals by integrating data on toxicity, frequency of use, and physicochemical properties that describe transport in water. Data used in this analysis were obtained from publicly available databases compiled by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of a larger study on the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water. Starting with nationwide hydraulic fracturing chemical usage data from EPA's analysis of the FracFocus Chemical Disclosure Registry 1.0, MCDAs were performed on chemicals that had either noncancer toxicity values (n=37) or cancer-specific toxicity values (n=10). The noncancer MCDA was then repeated for subsets of chemicals reported in three representative states (Texas, n=31; Pennsylvania, n=18; and North Dakota, n=20). Within each MCDA, chemicals received scores based on relative toxicity, relative frequency of use, and physicochemical properties (mobility in water, volatility, persistence). Results show a relative ranking of these chemicals based on hazard potential, and provide preliminary insight into chemicals that may be more likely than others to impact drinking water resources. Comparison of nationwide versus state-specific analyses indicates regional differences in the chemicals that may be of more concern to drinking water resources, although many chemicals were commonly used and received similar overall hazard rankings. Several chemicals highlighted by these MCDAs have been reported in groundwater near areas of hydraulic fracturing activity. This approach is intended as a preliminary analysis, and represents one possible method for integrating data to explore potential public health impacts. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AN - 1835628021; 27778053 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.

AN - 1835000965; 27799295 AB - Exposure to organophosphorus toxins induces seizures that progress to status epilepticus (SE), which can cause brain damage or death. Seizures are generated by hyperstimulation of muscarinic receptors, subsequent to inhibition of acetylcholinesterase; this is followed by glutamatergic hyperactivity, which sustains and reinforces seizure activity. It has been unclear which muscarinic receptor subtypes are involved in seizure initiation and the development of SE in the early phases after exposure. Here, we show that pretreatment of rats with the selective M1 receptor antagonist, VU0255035 [N-(3-oxo-3-(4-(pyridine-4-yl)piperazin-1-yl)propyl)-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole-4 sulfonamide], significantly suppressed seizure severity and prevented the development of SE for about 40 minutes after exposure to paraoxon or soman, suggesting an important role of the M1 receptor in the early phases of seizure generation. In addition, in in vitro brain slices of the basolateral amygdala (a brain region that plays a key role in seizure initiation after nerve agent exposure), VU0255035 blocked the effects produced by bath application of paraoxon-namely, a brief barrage of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents, followed by a significant increase in the ratio of the total charge transferred by spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents over that of the inhibitory postsynaptic currents. Furthermore, paraoxon enhanced the hyperpolarization-activated cation current Ih in basolateral amygdala principal cells, which could be one of the mechanisms underlying the increased glutamatergic activity, an effect that was also blocked in the presence of VU0255035. Thus, selective M1 antagonists may be an efficacious pretreatment in contexts in which there is risk for exposure to organophosphates, as these antagonists will delay the development of SE long enough for medical assistance to arrive.

AN - 1835538877; 27773723 AB - The present experiments determined the intramuscular LD50 of VX in male Göttingen minipigs at two stages of development. In pubertal animals (115 days old), the LD50 of VX was indeterminate, but approximated 33.3μg/kg. However, in sexually mature animals (152 days old), the LD50 was estimated to be only 17.4μg/kg. Signs of nerve agent toxicity in the Göttingen minipig were similar to those described for other species, with some notable exceptions (such as urticaria and ejaculation). Latencies to the onset of sustained convulsions were inversely related to the administered dose of VX in both ages of minipigs. Additionally, actigraphy was used to quantify the presence of tremor and convulsions and, in some cases, was useful for precisely estimating time of death. The main finding indicates that in minipigs, as in other species, even relatively small differences in age can substantially alter the toxicity of nerve agents. Additionally, actigraphy can serve as a non-invasive method of characterizing the tremors and convulsions that often accompany nerve agent intoxication.

AN - 1851296996; 27988303 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 (125mg/kg, ip) 30min prior to soman exposure (225μg/kg, sc) and then treated with atropine methylnitrate (AMN, 2.0mg/kg, im) 1min after soman. Cyproheptadine (10, 13, 16 or 20mg/kg, ip) was given at one of three time points: 1min after soman intoxication, at the onset of soman-induced seizures or 5min 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 24h were 100%. When cyproheptadine was given at a dose of 13 or 20mg/kg 1min after soman exposure, the incidence of seizures was reduced from 100% to 13% and 30%, respectively. In addition, cyproheptadine given at 1min 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 10mg/kg. The survival rate with cyproheptadine treatment at the onset of seizure was ≥83%. Seizures terminated in ≥75% of the animals that received cyproheptadine 5min after soman-induced seizure onset. When given at 5min 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.

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.

However, that control ebbed as US presence weakened. Non-state actors, such as the Taliban, the Haqqani network, the Islamic State, and Al Qaeda, gained control of segments of the population. Transnational Criminal Organizations capitalized on this permissive environment to strengthen their networks, often eroding the legitimacy of the host nation government, fueling regional instability, and, ultimately, undermining US policy objectives. The proliferation of deviant globalization, or the connectedness of subversive elements, is a key indicator of future conflict. Strategic landpower is uniquely positioned to influence the physical, psychological, economic, and social interactions of various non-state actors and their association with deviant globalization. It is no longer enough to seize and hold terrain. Landpower must also have the capability to influence the actions and attitudes of populations on that terrain wherever and whenever these interactions occur.

AN - 1841800000; 27864804 AB - Biofilm formation is a major virulence factor for numerous pathogenic bacteria and is cited as a central event in the pathogenesis of chronic human infections, which is in large part due to excessive extracellular matrix secretion and metabolic changes that occur within the biofilm rendering them highly tolerant to antimicrobial treatments. Polyamines, including norspermidine, play central roles in bacterial biofilm development, but have also recently been shown to inhibit biofilm formation in select strains of various pathogenic bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the biofilm dispersive and inhibitory activities of norspermidine against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii(n = 4), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 3), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 5) and Staphylococcus aureus (n = 4) associated with chronic extremity wound infections using the semi-quantitative 96-well plate method and confocal laser microscopy. In addition to the antibiofilm activity, biocompatibility of norspermidine was also evaluated by measuring toxicity in vitro to human cell lines and whole porcine tissue explants using MTT viability assay and histological analysis. Norspermidine (5-20 mM) had variable dispersive and inhibitory activity on biofilms which was dependent on both the strain and species. Of the clinical bacterial species evaluated herein, A. baumannii isolates were the most sensitive to the effect of norspermidine, which was in part due to the inhibitory effects of norspermidine on bacterial motility and expression of genes involved in the production of homoserine lactones and quorum sensing molecules both essential for biofilm formation. Importantly, exposure of cell lines and whole tissues to norspermidine for prolonged periods of time (≥24 h) was observed to reduce viability and alter tissue histology in a time and concentration dependent manner, with 20 mM exposure having the greatest negative effects on both tissues and individual cell lines. Collectively our findings demonstrate that, similar to other polyamines, norspermidine displays both inhibitory and dispersive activities on biofilms of clinical multidrug-resistant bacterial isolates, in particular for strains of A. baumannii. Additionally our findings suggest that direct application may be considered on tissues, albeit for limited exposure times.

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.

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.

AN - 1835693591; 27791981 AB - Decision analysis-a systematic approach to solving complex problems-offers tools and frameworks to support decision making that are increasingly being applied to environmental challenges. Alternatives analysis is a method used in regulation and product design to identify, compare, and evaluate the safety and viability of potential substitutes for hazardous chemicals. Assess whether decision science may assist the alternatives analysis decision maker in comparing alternatives across a range of metrics. A workshop was convened that included representatives from government, academia, business, and civil society and included experts in toxicology, decision science, alternatives assessment, engineering, and law and policy. Participants were divided into two groups and prompted with targeted questions. Throughout the workshop, the groups periodically came together in plenary sessions to reflect on other groups' findings. We conclude the further incorporation of decision science into alternatives analysis would advance the ability of companies and regulators to select alternatives to harmful ingredients, and would also advance the science of decision analysis. We advance four recommendations: (1) engaging the systematic development and evaluation of decision approaches and tools; (2) using case studies to advance the integration of decision analysis into alternatives analysis; (3) supporting transdisciplinary research; and (4) supporting education and outreach efforts.

AN - 1835353190; 27696922 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, an in 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 appropriate in vitro model 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.

AN - 1835445781; 27603675 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.

AN - 1835374716; 27724849 AB - 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. 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.

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.

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 (sub 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.

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.

Research should test whether associations between ACEs and health outcomes are the same for prospective and retrospective ACE measures. Methods We estimated agreement between ACEs prospectively recorded throughout childhood (by Study staff at Study member ages 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15) and retrospectively recalled in adulthood (by Study members when they reached age 38), in the population-representative Dunedin cohort (N = 1,037). We related both retrospective and prospective ACE measures to physical, mental, cognitive, and social health at midlife measured through both objective (e.g. biomarkers and neuropsychological tests) and subjective (e.g. self-reported) means. Results Dunedin and U.S. Centers for Disease Control ACE distributions were similar. Retrospective and prospective measures of adversity showed moderate agreement (r = .47, p < .001; weighted Kappa = .31, 95% CI: .27-.35). Both associated with all midlife outcomes. As compared to prospective ACEs, retrospective ACEs showed stronger associations with life outcomes that were subjectively assessed, and weaker associations with life outcomes that were objectively assessed. Recalled ACEs and poor subjective outcomes were correlated regardless of whether prospectively recorded ACEs were evident. Individuals who recalled more ACEs than had been prospectively recorded were more neurotic than average, and individuals who recalled fewer ACEs than recorded were more agreeable. Conclusions Prospective ACE records confirm associations between childhood adversity and negative life outcomes found previously using retrospective ACE reports. However, more agreeable and neurotic dispositions may, respectively, bias retrospective ACE measures toward underestimating the impact of adversity on objectively measured life outcomes and overestimating the impact of adversity on self-reported outcomes. Associations between personality factors and the propensity to recall adversity were extremely modest and warrant further investigation. Risk predictions based on retrospective ACE reports should utilize objective outcome measures. Where objective outcome measurements are difficult to obtain, correction factors may be warranted.

AN - 1814679051; 27556621 AB - The restoration of complex tissue deficits with vascularized composite allotransplantation is a paradigm shift in reconstructive surgery. Clinical adoption of vascularized composite allotransplantation is limited by the need for systemic immunosuppression, with associated morbidity and mortality. Small-animal models lack the biological fidelity and preclinical relevance to enable translation of immunologic insights to humans. Large-animal models have been described; however, limitations persist, including the inability of heterotopic models to evaluate functional nerve regeneration, and the sensitivity of primates to toxicity of immunosuppressive drugs. The authors' novel orthotopic porcine limb transplant model has broad applicability and translational relevance to both immunologic and functional outcomes after vascularized composite allotransplantation. Recipients underwent amputation at a level corresponding to the mid forearm. Replantation or transplantation of grafts was performed by plate fixation of the radio-ulna, microsurgical repair of brachial artery and median nerve, and extensor and flexor tendon repairs. Viability of replants was monitored clinically and radiologically. Transplants were monitored for clinicopathologic signs of rejection. Animals mobilized freely postoperatively. Replantations remained viable until the endpoint of 14 days. Transplants developed Banff grade 4 acute rejection by postoperative day 7. Doppler sonography and angiography confirmed vascular patency. Serial biopsy specimens of skin and histopathology of replants at endpoint confirmed tissue viability and bone healing. An orthotopic load-bearing porcine forelimb vascularized composite allotransplantation model was successfully established. Technical, procedural, and logistic considerations were optimized to allow model use for immunologic, bone healing, functional nerve regeneration, and other translational studies.

AN - 1808376180; 27343702 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. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AN - 1805487675; 26362124 AB - The inflammatory process plays an important role in sulfur mustard (HD) injury and HD pathogenesis, suggesting that anti-inflammatory treatments applied as soon as possible following HD injury may reduce tissue damage and accelerate healing. This study used the HD dermal weanling swine model to investigate the efficacy of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, capsaicin and diclofenac, when applied in combination with the steroid, clobetasol. The therapeutic regimen was also investigated with respect to initiation of treatment post-exposure, frequency and duration. Yorkshire-cross pigs were randomly assigned to experimental groups, corresponding to all combinations of treatment (capsaicin with clobetasol or diclofenac with clobetasol), onset time (1, 2 or 4 h post-exposure), treatment duration (1, 3 or 5 days) and frequency of applications (2, 3 or 4 per day). For each animal, two sites on the ventral abdomen were exposed to 400 μL of neat HD for 8 min to achieve superficial dermal (SD) lesions and two sites were exposed to 400 μL neat HD for 30 min to achieve deep dermal (DD) lesions. Each treatment regimen was tested against a SD and a DD injury. Untreated SD and DD lesion sites served as within-animal controls. Assessments, up to one week post-challenge, included digital photographs, clinical assessments (lesion size measurements and modified Draize scoring), transepidermal water loss (TEWL), reflectance colorimetry and histopathologic evaluations that included an estimate for depth of injury and wound healing parameters. Diclofenac plus clobetasol treatment resulted in significant reductions in lesion contracture and modified Draize scores, increased barrier function (decreased TEWL), and increased healing as determined by histopathology for both SD and DD injury when compared with untreated sites and sites treated with capsaicin plus clobetasol. An increased duration of treatment from 1 to 5 days was most commonly associated with decreased clinical assessment and histopathological severity scores. Therefore, a combination of diclofenac and clobetasol application, when administered for at least five days, shows promise in ameliorating HD-induced lesions.

AN - 1804854460; 26725466 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.

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.

AN - 1807078476; 27267114 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 24mg/kg (sum of 50 PAHs or tPAH50). Survival and growth rate were significantly decreased in the 2.6, 11.4 and 24.2mg/kg treatments, but only growth in 5.5mg/kg. Offspring production was dramatically decreased but was variable and significantly different only for 24.2mg/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. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

As the depth of investigation decreases, denser sampling is required, especially of the near offsets, to accurately characterize the shallow subsurface. We have developed a field data example using high-resolution shallow seismic reflection data to demonstrate how quickly near-surface properties can change over short distances and the effects on field data and processed sections. The addition of a relatively thin, 20 cm thick, low-velocity layer can lead to masked reflections and an inability to map shallow reflectors. Short receiver intervals, on the order of 10 cm, were necessary to identify the cause of the diminished data quality and would have gone unknown using larger, more conventional station spacing. Combined analysis of first arrivals, surface waves, and reflections aided in determining the effects and extent of a low-velocity layer that inhibited the identification and constructive stacking of the reflection from a shallow water table using normal-moveout-based processing methods. Our results also highlight the benefits of using unprocessed gathers to pragmatically guide processing and interpretation of seismic data.

AN - 1815976776; 27510619 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.

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 plus or minus 1.81 mm) was significantly less than that seen in the transosseous group (5.71 plus or minus 1.58 mm) ( P < .001). The mean load to failure of the anchor group (669.9 plus or minus 91.8 N) was significantly higher than that of the transosseous group (582.8 plus or minus 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.

Specifically, we tested the null hypothesis that intraspecific interactions (ISI) among D. magna have neither effect on the life history strategies of this species, nor impact toxicological outcomes in exposure experiments with Cu and Pb. The results show that ISI significantly increased mortality of D. magna in both Cu and Pb exposure experiments, decreasing 14 day LC50 s and 95 % confidence intervals from 14.5 (10.9-148.3) to 8.4 (8.2-8.7) mu g Cu/L and from 232 (156-4810) to 68 (63-73) mu g Pb/L. Additionally, ISI potentiated Pb impacts on reproduction eliciting a nearly 10-fold decrease in the no-observed effect concentration (from 236 to 25 mu g/L). As an indication of environmental relevance, the effects of ISI on both mortality and reproduction in Pb exposures were sustained at both high and low food rations. Furthermore, even with a single pair of Daphnia, ISI significantly increased (p < 0.05) neonate production in control conditions, demonstrating that ISI can affect life history strategy. Given these results we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that results from scale-up assays cannot be directly applied to observations from single-animal assessments in D. magna. We postulate that D. magna senses chemical signatures of conspecifics which elicits changes in life history strategies that ultimately increase susceptibility to metal toxicity.

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.

We argue that two factors account for this failure. The first concerns the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), the law that was enacted in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, providing options to the U.S. President to authorize the use of Armed Forces "against those responsible" for the 9/11 attacks. We contend that this law served as an incentive to lump regional jihadi groups under the AQ umbrella instead of discerning their differences. The second factor concerns what we term as the "al-Qa'ida fixation," it has to do with a post-9/11 bias towards understanding the threat emanating from jihadi groups around the world through the lens of AQ. This translated into falsely constructing a so-called "al-Qaeda Central" in the business of 'franchising' its brand and cloning its violent operations by establishing regional jihadi groups that served as its "affiliates" and carried out its orders. In the post-9/11 era, these two factors fed off each other. Our critique is not meant to suggest that the CT community is expected to predict the unpredictable, and we also recognize that one gains greater clarity with the benefit of hindsight. However, we argue that had the CT community given due attention to the differences between jihadi groups, there was ample evidence in the open source realm that was pointing to IS being AQ's bête noire, and was seeking to outbid it.

Seismic waves incident upon these discontinuities generate a scattered wavefield. We have developed various surface-wave techniques, currently being fielded, that have consistently delivered accurate and precise results across a wide range of survey parameters and geographical locations. We use the multichannel analysis of surface waves approach to study the multimode Rayleigh wave, the backscatter analysis of surface waves (BASW) method to detect anomalies, 3D visualization for efficient seismic interpretation, BASW correlation for attribute analysis, and instantaneous-amplitude integration in the complex BASW method. Discrete linear moveout functions and f-k filter designs are optimized for BASW considering the fundamental and higher mode dispersion trends of the Rayleigh wave. Synthetic and field data were used to demonstrate multimode BASW and mode separation, which accentuated individual scatter events, and ultimately increased confidence in points of interest. Simple correlation algorithms between fundamental and higher-mode BASW data offer attribute analysis that limits the subjective interpretation of BASW images. Domain sorting and Hilbert transforms allow for 3D visualization and rapid interpretation of an anomaly's wavefield phenomena within an amplitude cube. Furthermore, instantaneous-amplitude analysis can be incorporated into a more robust complex BASW method that forgives velocity-estimation inaccuracies, while requiring less rigorous preprocessing. Our investigations have suggested that a multifaceted surface-wave analysis provides a valuable tool for today's geophysicists to fulfill anomaly-detection survey requirements.

The full-wave approach employs a parallelized 3-D finite-difference time-domain algorithm deployed on high-performance computing systems to simulate the far-field scattering responses from scenes. The backscattering behaviors of a single tree are first considered as a function of frequency, polarization, signal incidence angle, and structural fidelity, and then, large-scale simulations are carried out to examine the responses of a forest stand in both the frequency and imaging domains. The results featured are from the first phase of an ongoing study to investigate the feasibility of applying large-scale electromagnetic simulations to support airborne-based sensing of obscured ground targets.

Analytical results showed that cadmium (Cd) concentrations ranged between 115.7-1126.7 and 108.8-2059.3 mg/kg while lead (Pb) values ranged between 234-3000 and 145-4292 mg/kg in the surface and bottom sediments, respectively. The results also indicated that high levels of Cd and Pb were present in the vicinity of the channel mouth and confluence area. Indices for potential ecological risk and geo-accumulation were used to evaluate the environmental effects and intensity of heavy metal pollution over time. High concentrations of Cd and Pb in the bottom sediments of Laoxiawan Channel were mainly associated with wastewater discharge (10 (super 6) m (super 3) /year). Thus, the Laoxiawan Channel may be an important metal contaminant source for the Xiang River.

The observations indicate that a distant storm (Hurricane Bill, 2009) with large waves has low variability in directional wave characteristics resulting in alongshore currents that are driven mainly by the changes in wave energy. A storm close to the coast (Hurricane Earl, 2010), with strong local wind stress and combined sea and swell components in wave energy spectra, has high variability in wave direction and wave period that influence wave breaking and nearshore circulation as the storm passes. During both large wave events, the horizontal current shear is strong and radiation stress gradients, bottom stress, wind stress, horizontal mixing, and cross-shore advection contribute to alongshore momentum at different spatial locations across the nearshore region. Horizontal mixing during Hurricane Earl, estimated from rotational velocities, was particularly strong suggesting that intense eddies were generated by the high horizontal shear from opposing wind-driven and wave-driven currents. The results provide insight into the cross-shore distribution of the alongshore current and the connection between flows inside and outside the surf zone during major storms, indicating that the current shear and mixing at the interface between the surf zone and shallow inner shelf is strongly dependent on the distance from the storm center to the coast.

To address this challenge, a quantitative structure activity relationship model was developed to predict acute fathead minnow toxicity of insensitive munitions and energetic materials. Computational predictive toxicology models like this one may be used to identify and prioritize environmentally safer materials early in their development. The developed model is based on the Apriori market-basket/frequent itemset mining approach to identify probabilistic prediction rules using chemical atom-pairs and the lethality data for 57 compounds from a fathead minnow acute toxicity assay. Lethality data were discretized into four categories based on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. Apriori identified toxicophores for categories two and three. The model classified 32 of the 57 compounds correctly, with a fivefold cross-validation classification rate of 74 %. A structure-based surrogate approach classified the remaining 25 chemicals correctly at 48 %. This result is unsurprising as these 25 chemicals were fairly unique within the larger set.

Cellulose was modeled as trimeric form of the linear chain of 1 arrow right 4 linked of beta -D-glucopyranos in super(4)C sub(1) chair conformation. Geometries of modeled cellulose, munitions compounds and their complexes were optimized at the M06-2X functional level of Density Functional Theory using the 6-31G(d,p) basis set in gas phase and in water solution. The effect of water solution was modeled using the CPCM approach. Nature of potential energy surfaces was ascertained through harmonic vibrational frequency analysis. Interaction energies were corrected for basis set superposition error and the 6-311G(d,p) basis set was used. Molecular electrostatic potential mapping was performed to understand the reactivity of the investigated systems. It was predicted that adsorbates will be weakly adsorbed on the cellulose surface in water solution than in the gas phase.

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 plus or minus 0.65, 9.04 plus or minus 2.61, and 4.34 plus or minus 2.72 mg/L/day while rates of nitrate removal were 20.08 plus or minus 1.13, 21.58 plus or minus 1.20, and 24.84 plus or minus 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.

The feature selection algorithms associated with nonlinear kernel-based support vector machines (SVM) are either NP-hard or greedy and hence, not very optimal. To deal with this problem, a metric based on the principles of CGT called Shapely value (SV) and a sampling approximation is used to determine the contributions of individual features toward the classification task. Feature subsets are randomly drawn from a probability distribution function (pdf) generated using normalized SVs of the individual features. These feature subsets are then used to build kernels corresponding to individual weak classifiers in the sparse kernel-based ensemble learning (SKEL) framework. By weighting the kernels optimally and sparsely, a small number of useful subsets of features are selected which improve the generalization performance of the ensemble classifier. The algorithm is applied on real hyperspectral datasets, and the results are presented in the paper.

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.

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.

RFI sources pose critical challenges for UWB systems since 1) RFI often occupies a wide range of the radar's operating frequency spectrum; 2) RFI might have significant power; and 3) RFI signals are difficult to predict and model due to the nonstationary nature as well as the complexity of various communication devices. Our proposed framework involves an initial RFI estimation step that operates directly on already contaminated radar signals to identify RFI-dominant frequency sub-bands. This vital prior information is then taken into account to construct an adaptive RFI dictionary with various sinusoidal patterns covering the aforementioned RFI-contaminated frequency spectrum. Finally, we employ a sparsity-driven optimization strategy to separate and then extract RFI from the received radar signals. Our method can be implemented as a denoising preprocessing stage for raw radar signals prior to image formation and other follow-up tasks such as target detection and classification. Recovery results from extensive simulated data sets as well as real-world signals collected by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) UWB synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems illustrate the robustness and effectiveness of our proposed framework.

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 time-frame 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 post-conflict 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 state-non-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.

AN - 1803794231; 27123828 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.

AN - 1792377873; 27016940 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.

AN - 1792377786; 26988223 AB - Real-time detection of hydrocarbon contaminants in the environment presents analytical challenges because traditional laboratory-based techniques are cumbersome and not readily field portable. In the current work, a method for rapid and semi-quantitative detection of organic contaminants, primarily crude oil, in natural water and soil matrices has been developed. Detection limits in the parts per million and parts per billion were accomplished when using visual and digital detection methods, respectively. The extraction technique was modified from standard methodologies used for hydrocarbon analysis and provides a straight-forward separation technique that can remove interference from complex natural constituents. For water samples this method is semi-quantitative, with recoveries ranging from 70 % to 130 %, while measurements of soil samples are more qualitative due to lower extraction efficiencies related to the limitations of field-deployable procedures.

AN - 1792377197; 26846314 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 (O2 (-)), 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.

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.

However, typical structural materials, like tightly cross-linked epoxies, are very brittle. Recent experiments demonstrated that cross-linked poly(dicyclopentadiene) (pDCPD) networks can circumvent this trade-off by providing structural properties such as a high glass transition temperature and glassy modulus, while simultaneously exhibiting excellent toughness and high-rate impact resistance. The greater performance of pDCPD was attributed to more facile plastic deformation and nano-scale void formation, but the chemical and structural mechanisms underlying this response were not clear. Here, we use atomistic molecular dynamics to compare the molecular- and chain-level properties of pDCPD and epoxy networks undergoing high strain rate deformation. We quantify the tensile modulus and yield strength of the networks as well as the prevalence and characteristics of nanovoids that form during deformation. Networks of similar molecular weight between cross-links are compared. Two key molecular-level properties are identified - monomer flexibility and polar chemistry - that influence the behavior of the networks. Increasing monomer flexibility reduces the modulus and yield strength, while strong non-covalent interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonds) that accompany polar moieties provide higher modulus and yield strength. The lack of strong non-covalent interactions in pDCPD was found to account for its lower modulus and yield strength compared to the epoxies. We examine the molecular-level properties of nanovoids, such as shape, alignment, and local stress distribution, as well as the local chemical environment, finding that nanovoid formation and growth are increased by the monomer rigidity but decreased by polar chemistry. As a result, the pDCPD network, which has a stiff chain backbone with nonpolar alkane chemistry, exhibits more and larger nanovoids that grow more readily during deformation, which could account for the higher toughness and more ductile behavior observed in pDCPD.

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 (sub ASR) 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 (sub ASR) . 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.

The severity of this hazard is compounded by sea level rise and a potential increase in storm intensities due to climate change. The ability of coastal communities to plan for, resist, and quickly and completely recover from severe coastal storm events and flooding is of critical importance. There is a growing interest in applying complementary and redundant approaches to reduce the flood risk of these vulnerable communities, such as incorporating natural and nature-based features into the project planning process. However, accounting for the benefits of these nature-based features in coastal design is still challenging. One of the natural features generally acknowledged to offer coastal protection benefits is wetlands. Using laboratory experiments of artificial vegetation as a foundation, the bounds of wave dissipation by vegetation are explored analytically and the effectiveness of wave dissipation by vegetation over large scales is investigated using the spectral wave model STWAVE. Wave heights modeled using a vegetation dissipation formulation are compared to those modeled with the current practice of representing vegetation using bottom friction, particularly the Manning formulation. The vegetation dissipation formulation reduced more wave energy than the Manning bottom friction formulation for submerged wetlands. Because the Manning formulation does not integrate vegetation properties, to achieve consistent results would require varying the Manning n coefficient to account for the spatial and temporal variation in form drag induced by the plants due to changes in plant density, diameter, and degree of plant submergence. Thus, a re-evaluation of existing methods for assessing wave dissipation by vegetation is recommended for wider application of vegetation dissipation formulations in numerical models. Such models are critical for evaluating coastal resiliency of communities protected by wetland features. . Abstract Copyright Published 2016.

S. ACE Civil Works Missions to Restore Habitat and Increase Environmental Resiliency AN - 1793364434 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.

AN - 1787994662; PQ0002953424 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 1.5m, 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 <1.5m 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 <1.5m 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.

HIV-negative, BCG-vaccinated Kenyan adults without evidence of tuberculosis, 10 QuantiFERON registered -TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-G)(-) and 10 QFT-G(+), were randomized 4:1 to receive AERAS-402 or placebo as two doses, on Days 0 and 56, with follow up to Day 182. There were no deaths, serious adverse events or withdrawals. For 1 AERAS-402 QFT-G(-) and 1 AERAS-402 QFT-G(+) subject, there were 3 self-limiting severe AEs of injection site pain: 1 after the first vaccination and 1 after each vaccination, respectively. Two additional severe AEs considered vaccine-related were reported after the first vaccination in AERAS-402 QFT-G(+) subjects: elevated blood creatine phosphokinase and neutropenia, the latter slowly improving but remaining abnormal until study end. AERAS-402 was not detected in urine or throat cultures for any subject. In intracellular cytokine staining studies, curtailed by technical issues, we saw modest CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses to Mtb Ag85A/b peptide pools among both QFT-G(-) and (+) subjects, with trends in the CD4+ T cells suggestive of boosting after the second vaccine dose, slightly more so in QFT-G(+) subjects. CD4+ and CD8+ responses to Mtb antigen TB10.4 were minimal. Increases in Adenovirus 35 neutralizing antibodies from screening to end of study, seen in 50% of AERAS-402 recipients, were mostly minimal. This small study confirms acceptable safety and tolerability profiles for AERAS-402, in line with other Phase 1 studies of AERAS-402, now to include QFT-G(+) subjects.

AN - 1781535806; 27029770 AB - In this work we investigate the interaction between plasmonic and excitonic resonances in hybrid MoSe2@Au nanostructures. The latter were fabricated by combining chemical vapor deposition of MoSe2 atomic layers, Au disk processing by nanosphere lithography and a soft lift-off/transfer technique. The samples were characterized by scanning electron and atomic force microscopy. Their optical properties were investigated experimentally using optical absorption, Raman scattering and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The work is focused on a resonant situation where the surface plasmon resonance is tuned to the excitonic transition. In that case, the near-field interaction between the surface plasmons and the confined excitons leads to interference between the plasmonic and excitonic resonances that manifests in the optical spectra as a transparency dip. The plasmonic-excitonic interaction regime is determined using quantitative analysis of the optical extinction spectra based on an analytical model supported by numerical simulations. We found that the plasmonic-excitonic resonances do interfere thus leading to a typical Fano lineshape of the optical extinction. The near-field nature of the plasmonic-excitonic interaction is pointed out experimentally from the dependence of the optical absorption on the number of monolayer stacks on the Au nanodisks. The results presented in this work contribute to the development of new concepts in the field of hybrid plasmonics.

AN - 1797543737; 2016-054092 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 Atlantic-style 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.

AN - 1826670683; 27088631 AB - Today there are more than 80,000 chemicals in commerce and the environment. The potential human health risks are unknown for the vast majority of these chemicals as they lack human health risk assessments, toxicity reference values, and risk screening values. We aim to use computational toxicology and quantitative high-throughput screening (qHTS) technologies to fill these data gaps, and begin to prioritize these chemicals for additional assessment. In this pilot, we demonstrate how we were able to identify that benzo[k]fluoranthene may induce DNA damage and steatosis using qHTS data and two separate adverse outcome pathways (AOPs). We also demonstrate how bootstrap natural spline-based meta-regression can be used to integrate data across multiple assay replicates to generate a concentration-response curve. We used this analysis to calculate an in vitro point of departure of 0.751 μM and risk-specific in vitro concentrations of 0.29 μM and 0.28 μM for 1:1,000 and 1:10,000 risk, respectively, for DNA damage. Based on the available evidence, and considering that only a single HSD17B4 assay is available, we have low overall confidence in the steatosis hazard identification. This case study suggests that coupling qHTS assays with AOPs and ontologies will facilitate hazard identification. Combining this with quantitative evidence integration methods, such as bootstrap meta-regression, may allow risk assessors to identify points of departure and risk-specific internal/in vitro concentrations. These results are sufficient to prioritize the chemicals; however, in the longer term we will need to estimate external doses for risk screening purposes, such as through margin of exposure methods. © 2016 Society for Risk Analysis.

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.

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 Copyright (2016) Elsevier, B.V.

We tested the hypothesis that native congeners differ in their nodule bacteria associations compared to L. cuneata. 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. 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. 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.

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 Bass Micropterus salmoides between 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.

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.

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.

However, most real-time BCIs require extensive individualized calibration prior to use, and systems often have to be recalibrated to account for changes in the neural signals due to a variety of factors including changes in human state, the surrounding environment, and task conditions. Novel approaches to reduce calibration time or effort will dramatically improve the usability of BCI systems. Active Learning (AL) is an iterative semi-supervised learning technique for learning in situations in which data may be abundant, but labels for the data are difficult or expensive to obtain. In this paper, we apply AL to a simulated BCI system for target identification using data from a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) paradigm to minimize the amount of training samples needed to initially calibrate a neural classifier. Our results show AL can produce similar overall classification accuracy with significantly less labeled data (in some cases less than 20%) when compared to alternative calibration approaches. In fact, AL classification performance matches performance of 10-fold cross-validation (CV) in over 70% of subjects when training with less than 50% of the data. To our knowledge, this is the first work to demonstrate the use of AL for offline electroencephalography (EEG) calibration in a simulated BCI paradigm. While AL itself is not often amenable for use in real-time systems, this work opens the door to alternative AL-like systems that are more amenable for BCI applications and thus enables future efforts for developing highly adaptive BCI systems.

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.

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.

AN - 1765117773; 26562769 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 (16ppm, 8min), 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 24h lethality from whole body CG inhalation exposure in mice (8-10ppm×20min). Thus the TRP channel mechanism appears to be a potential target for intervention in CG toxicity. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

AN - 1762340887; 26714047 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.

There are also multiple mandates to address this suite of EGS. What facets of the ocean EGS does this portfolio of mandates collectively address? How are these mandates interrelated? Are there gaps in their coverage of EGS? Are there areas of reinforcement? To elucidate this set of issues, we characterize the portfolio of mandates that a leading governmental ocean agency, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the subset of those that one of its Line Offices, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA-Fisheries), is responsible for implementing. We link these mandates to a suite of EGS, evaluating the relative degree that each mandate addresses each EGS. The weighted overlap across mandates with respect to EGS was also estimated. Of the nearly 100 NOAA mandates, and the subset of 50 NOAA-Fisheries mandates, there was broad coverage of ocean EGS. Food production, habitat provision, genetic resources, recreation, tourism, historical and heritage value, and knowledge and science value were the EGS that had the highest degree of coverage. All EGS had at least some mandate coverage, although some had a limited number of mandates associated with them. There was some reinforcement across mandates, particularly for the top EGS, suggesting that the multiple facets of these EGS are being reasonably well addressed. The large number of mandates and the importance of EGS they address suggest that some form of coordination is warranted, particularly via adoption of an ecosystem-based approach to management.

Efforts are being made to reprogram, maintain, and differentiate iPSCs in defined conditions to provide a safe source of stem cells for regenerative medicine. Recently, human fibroblasts were successfully reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells using four recombinant proteins (OCT4, c-Myc, KLF4, and SOX2) fused with a cell-penetrating peptide (9R). These protein-induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSCs) are maintained and propagated on a feeder layer of mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Use of animal-derived products in maintenance and differentiation of iPSCs poses risks of zoonotic disease transmission and immune rejection when transplanted into humans. To avoid potential incorporation of xenogenic products, we cultured piPSCs on recombinant human matrix proteins. We then tested whether recombinant human matrix proteins can support self-renewal and pluripotency of piPSCs. After long-term culture on recombinant human vitronectin in xeno-free conditions, piPSCs retained the expression of pluripotent markers. The pluripotency of these cells was further evaluated by differentiating toward ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm lineages in vitro. In conclusion, recombinant human vitronectin can support the long-term culture and maintain the stemness of piPSCs in defined nonxenogenic conditions.

AN - 1803791233; 26804465 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.

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).

AN - 1760922833; 26615023 AB - Clinical manifestations of tetanus and botulism result from an intricate series of interactions between clostridial neurotoxins (CNTs) and nerve terminal proteins that ultimately cause proteolytic cleavage of SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins and functional blockade of neurotransmitter release. Although detection of cleaved SNARE proteins is routinely used as a molecular readout of CNT intoxication in cultured cells, impaired synaptic function is the pathophysiological basis of clinical disease. Work in our laboratory has suggested that the blockade of synaptic neurotransmission in networked neuron cultures offers a phenotypic readout of CNT intoxication that more closely replicates the functional endpoint of clinical disease. Here, we explore the value of measuring spontaneous neurotransmission frequencies as novel and functionally relevant readouts of CNT intoxication. The generalizability of this approach was confirmed in primary neuron cultures as well as human and mouse stem cell-derived neurons exposed to botulinum neurotoxin serotypes A-G and tetanus neurotoxin. The sensitivity and specificity of synaptic activity as a reporter of intoxication was evaluated in assays representing the principal clinical and research purposes of in vivo studies. Our findings confirm that synaptic activity offers a novel and functionally relevant readout for the in vitro characterizations of CNTs. They further suggest that the analysis of synaptic activity in neuronal cell cultures can serve as a surrogate for neuromuscular paralysis in the mouse lethal assay, and therefore is expected to significantly reduce the need for terminal animal use in toxin studies and facilitate identification of candidate therapeutics in cell-based screening assays.

AN - 1760931418; 26741498 AB - We demonstrate that sol-gel-derived manganese oxide (MnOx) nanoarchitectures exhibit broad-spectrum filtration activity for three chemically diverse toxic gases: NH3, SO2, and H2S. Manganese oxides are synthesized via the reaction of NaMnO4 and fumaric acid to form monolithic gels of disordered, mixed-valent Na-MnOx; incorporated Na(+) is readily exchanged for H(+) by subsequent acid rinsing to form a more crystalline H-MnOx phase. For both Na-MnOx and H-MnOx forms, controlled pore-fluid removal yields either densified, yet still mesoporous, xerogels or low-density aerogels (prepared by drying from supercritical CO2). The performance of these MnOx nanoarchitectures as filtration media is assessed using dynamic-challenge microbreakthrough protocols. We observe technologically relevant sorption capacities under both dry conditions and wet (80% relative humidity) for each of the three toxic industrial chemicals investigated. The Na-MnOx xerogels and aerogels provide optimal performance with the aerogel exhibiting maximum sorption capacities of 39, 200, and 680 mg g(-1) for NH3, SO2, and H2S, respectively. Postbreakthrough characterization using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) confirms that NH3 is captured and partially protonated within the MnOx structure, while SO2 undergoes oxidation by the redox-active oxide to form adsorbed sulfate at the MnOx surface. Hydrogen sulfide is also oxidized to form a combination of sulfate and sulfur/polysulfide products, concomitant with a decrease in the average Mn oxidation state from 3.43 to 2.94 and generation of a MnOOH phase.

AN - 1760863673; 26718688 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 [PRNT80]) as well as RVF-specific IgM and IgG. The highest peak geometric mean PRNT80 titers were observed in IM Group 2. Of 34 RVF MP-12 recipients available for testing 1 year following inoculation, 28 (82%) remained seropositive (PRNT80≥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.

AN - 1764138765; 26775027 AB - Chlorpyrifos (CPF), an organophosphorus pesticide (OP), is one of the most widely used pesticides in the world. Subchronic exposures to CPF that do not cause cholinergic crisis are associated with problems in cognitive function (i.e., learning and memory deficits), but the biological mechanism(s) underlying this association remain speculative. To identify potential mechanisms of subchronic CPF neurotoxicity, adult male Long Evans (LE) rats were administered CPF at 3 or 10mg/kg/d (s.c.) for 21 days. We quantified mRNA and non-coding RNA (ncRNA) expression profiles by RNA-seq, microarray analysis and small ncRNA sequencing technology in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Hippocampal slice immunohistochemistry was used to determine CPF-induced changes in protein expression and localization patterns. Neither dose of CPF caused overt clinical signs of cholinergic toxicity, although after 21 days of exposure, cholinesterase activity was decreased to 58% or 13% of control levels in the hippocampus of rats in the 3 or 10mg/kg/d groups, respectively. Differential gene expression in the CA1 region of the hippocampus was observed only in the 10mg/kg/d dose group relative to controls. Of the 1382 differentially expressed genes identified by RNA-seq and microarray analysis, 67 were common to both approaches. Differential expression of six of these genes (Bdnf, Cort, Crhbp, Nptx2, Npy and Pnoc) was verified in an independent CPF exposure study; immunohistochemistry demonstrated that CRHBP and NPY were elevated in the CA1 region of the hippocampus at 10mg/kg/d CPF. Gene ontology enrichment analysis suggested association of these genes with receptor-mediated cell survival signaling pathways. miR132/212 was also elevated in the CA1 hippocampal region, which may play a role in the disruption of neurotrophin-mediated cognitive processes after CPF administration. These findings identify potential mediators of CPF-induced neurobehavioral deficits following subchronic exposure to CPF at a level that inhibits hippocampal cholinesterase to less than 20% of control. An equally significant finding is that subchronic exposure to CPF at a level that produces more moderate inhibition of hippocampal cholinesterase (approximately 50% of control) does not produce a discernable change in gene expression.

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 IC50 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. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

It is important to understand the relationship between these contaminants, infrastructure, and water supplies in order to better protect public health. Sanitary sewers are an important component of the urban environment that protect the population from viruses and other pathogens found in human waste. However, as sewers age they can lose integrity and begin to leak into the subsurface. Several recent studies in Madison, Wisconsin detected human enteric viruses in both groundwater and public supply wells. These viruses are typically not monitored in groundwater and have been linked with aging, leaking urban sewers. The potential also exists for leaking sewers to impact surface water when the two are in close proximity. Current research in the Washington, D.C. area has the goal of determining if leaking sewers are a substantial source of microbiological contamination in urban streams. These studies have shed light on how deteriorating sewers may impact water quality in urban settings. Compared with sanitary sewers, titanium dioxide concrete is a recent addition to the urban landscape. The addition of TiO (sub 2) nanoparticles to concrete imparts photocatalytic properties that make it self-cleaning with the added benefit of improving air quality by reducing nitrous oxide concentrations. The growing use of these materials in buildings and roads is of concern because the release of TiO (sub 2) nanoparticles due to weathering and their subsequent fate and transport are not well understood. Laboratory experiments determined the amount of TiO (sub 2) nanoparticle release when these materials are subjected to ultraviolet light and acidic precipitation. The results of this research will guide the installation and management of TiO (sub 2) concrete in urban environments in order to better protect water supplies.

An analysis of regional skew using Bayesian weighted least-squares/Bayesian generalized-least squares regression was performed for Arkansas, Louisiana, and parts of Missouri and Oklahoma. The newly developed constant regional skew of -0.17 was used in the computation of annual exceedance probability discharges for 281 streamgages used in the regional regression analysis. Based on analysis of covariance, four flood regions were identified for use in the generation of regional regression models. Thirty-nine basin characteristics were considered as potential explanatory variables, and ordinary least-squares regression techniques were used to determine the optimum combinations of basin characteristics for each of the four regions. Basin characteristics in candidate models were evaluated based on multicollinearity with other basin characteristics (variance inflation factor < 2.5) and statistical significance at the 95-percent confidence level (p < or = 0.05). Generalized least-squares regression was used to develop the final regression models for each flood region. Average standard errors of prediction of the generalized least-squares models ranged from 32.76 to 59.53 percent, with the largest range in flood region D. Pseudo coefficients of determination of the generalized least-squares models ranged from 90.29 to 97.28 percent, with the largest range also in flood region D. The regional regression equations apply only to locations on streams in Arkansas where annual peak discharges are not substantially affected by regulation, diversion, channelization, backwater, or urbanization. The applicability and accuracy of the regional regression equations depend on the basin characteristics measured for an ungaged location on a stream being within range of those used to develop the equations.

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% plus or minus 1.6% vs. 64% plus or minus 1.7%; p less than or equal to 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% plus or minus 2.5% vs 62.3% plus or minus 2.4%; p less than or equal to 0.01). Protein (22% plus or minus 1.4% vs. 26% plus or minus 1.5%; p less than or equal to 0.001) and combination (10.0% plus or minus 1.0% vs. 24% plus or minus 1.4%; p less than or equal to 0.001) product consumption also increased over the 4 years. Individual vitamin and mineral use - including iron, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A, B sub(6), B sub(12), and D - significantly increased as well (p less than or equal to 0.05). In addition, expenditures on DSs by soldiers increased over time (p >) par les soldats de l'armee americaine different de la population civile. Les tendances longitudinales d'utilisation des DS par les civils ont ete scrutees; on constate cependant l'absence de donnees concernant les sous-populations telles que les membres du service militaire. Cette etude analyse les variations longitudinales de l'utilisation des DS par les soldats. On a soumis un questionnaire standardise sur l'utilisation de DS a un echantillon de commodite comprenant 989 soldats en 2006-2007 et 1196 soldats en service actif en 2010-2011. Les donnees sont ponderees en fonction des variables demographiques de la population entiere : age, sexe et rang. L'utilisation reguliere de DS par les soldats augmente significativement (56 plus or minus 1,6 % vs 64 plus or minus 1,7 %; p less than or equal to 0,001) en 4 ans surtout a cause de l'augmentation de l'utilisation des DS chez les soldats du groupe des 18-24 ans (43,0 plus or minus 2,5 % vs 62,3 plus or minus 2,4 %; p less than or equal to 0,01). La consommation de proteines et de produits combines augmente aussi en 4 ans : 22 plus or minus 1,4 % vs 26 plus or minus 1,5 %; p less than or equal to 0,001 et 10,0 plus or minus 1,0 % vs 24 plus or minus 1,4 %; p less than or equal to 0,001, respectivement. Durant cette periode, on observe aussi une augmentation significative (p less than or equal to 0,05) de l'utilisation de vitamines et de mineraux : fer, magnesium, selenium et vitamines A, B sub(6), B sub(12) et D. En outre, les depenses reliees aux DS augmentent aussi (p < 0,01). Les soldats rapportent prendre des DS pour repondre aux exigences professionnelles du service militaire. Il faut developper des interventions educatives afin de reduire l'utilisation injustifiee des DS chez les soldats, et ce, pour diminuer les effets secondaires causes par l'utilisation inutile des DS et minimiser le fardeau financier associe a leur utilisation.

AN - 1835447177; 27754820 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.

AN - 1807877976; 27072693 AB - Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), the most potent known toxins, cause severe muscle paralysis and death at nanogram exposures and are considered biothreat agents. BoNTs target the neuromuscular junction where they release smaller zinc metalloprotease light chains (LCs) into the neuron cytosol that selectively cleave SNARE proteins and thus block the exocytosis of acetylcholine neurotransmitters necessary for skeletal muscle contraction. The majority of efforts to develop post-symptomatic therapeutics for botulism poisoning have focused on inhibiting the LC and tremendous strides have been made in understanding how the LC binds to the SNARE proteins via X-ray crystallography. Subsequent homology modeling and structure based drug design have led to the discovery of multiple small molecule BoNT/A inhibitors in the 0.05 ~10 μΜ range, but to date none have shown significant post-symptomatic efficacy in an animal model of botulinum intoxication. With the lack of reported pharmacokinetic data, we have analyzed the BoNT/A inhibitor lead chemical matter from a physicochemical property point of view and have attempted to understand if bioavailability of drug at the neuromuscular junction is the root cause of this apparent in vitro/in vivo disconnect in the field.

These tools will be particularly applicable in discontinuous permafrost where climate warming or disturbances such as human development or fire can lead to rapid permafrost degradation. We have linked field-based geophysical, point-scale, and imagery surveying measurements to map permafrost at five fire scars (1930, 1975, 1988, 2001, and 2010) on the Tanana Flats in central Alaska. Ground-based elevation surveys, seasonal thaw-depth profiles, and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements were combined with airborne imagery and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to identify relationships between permafrost geomorphology and elapsed time since fire disturbance. ERT proved to be a robust technique for mapping the presence or absence of permafrost because of the marked difference in resistivity values for frozen versus unfrozen material. There was no clear relationship between elapsed time since fire and permafrost extent at our sites. However, we have found that the transition zone boundaries between permafrost soils and unfrozen soils in the collapse-scar bogs at our sites had complex and unpredictable morphologies. This result suggested that attempts to quantify the presence or absence of permafrost using aerial measurements alone could lead to incomplete results. Taken in total, the results from our study indicated that although ground-based ERT measurements were the most rapid means of mapping permafrost, we were still limited in being able to apply airborne surveying measurements at the landscape scale toward accurately estimating permafrost extent.

To project trends in peak mountain snowpack and runoff in the upcoming decades, multiple linear regression models of peak mountain snowpack and total May-July runoff were developed for the Fort Peck Lake (above Fort Peck Dam) and lower Lake Sakakawea watersheds (between Fort Peck and Garrison Dams) in the Upper Missouri River basin. Input to regression models included seasonal estimates of precipitation, air temperature, and total reference evapotranspiration stratified by elevation. Calibration was based on records from 107 weather stations from 1991 to 2011. Regressed annual peak mountain snowpack was used as input to the transfer function of May-July runoff. Peak snowpack and May-July runoff were projected for 2012-99 on the basis of air temperature and precipitation from the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) output. Two estimates of projected peak snowpack and May-July runoff for 2012-99 were computed: one estimate was based on output from the CCSM, version 3.0 (CCSM3), and the second estimate was based on output from the CCSM, version 4.0 (CCSM4). The significance of projected trends was based on the Kendall's tau nonparametric test. Annual peak snowpack was projected to have a downward trend for the Fort Peck Lake watershed and an upward trend for the lower Lake Sakakawea watershed. Projections of May-July runoff had a significant downward trend for the Fort Peck Lake, lower Lake Sakakawea, and Lake Sakakawea (combination of Fort Peck Lake and lower Lake Sakakawea) watersheds. Downward trends in projected May-July runoff indicated that power production at Fort Peck Dam might be affected particularly in the later part of the simulation (2061-99); however, confidence in projected May-July runoff for the later part of the simulation was less certain because bias-corrected air temperatures from CCSM3 and CCSM4 commonly fell outside of the observed range used for calibration. Projected May-July runoff combined for the Fort Peck Lake and lower Lake Sakakawea watersheds were on the order of magnitude of the 2011 flood for 1 simulation year for each of the CCSM-based simulations. High peak snowpack and precipitation in April, May, and June in the plains was associated with large May-July runoff events; therefore, high precipitation at lower elevations in the Fort Peck Lake and lower Lake Sakakawea watersheds was a factor in the simulation of extreme runoff events at the magnitude of the 2011 flood.

Gallium(III) is an iron analog capable of inhibiting essential iron-dependent pathways, exerting broad antimicrobial activity against multiple microorganisms, including Staphylococcus spp. Herein, we evaluated PMMA and CaSO sub(4) as carriers for delivery of gallium(III) nitrate (Ga(NO sub(3) ) sub(3) ) to infected surgical sites by assessing the release kinetics subsequent to incorporation and antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and S. epidermidis . PMMA and to a lesser extent CaSO sub(4) were observed to be compatible as carriers for Ga(NO sub(3) ) sub(3) , eluting concentrations with antimicrobial activity against planktonic bacteria, inhibiting bacterial growth, and preventing bacterial colonization of beads, and effective against established bacterial biofilms of S. aureus and S. epidermidis . Collectively, our in vitro results indicate that PMMA is a more suitable carrier compared to CaSO sub(4) for delivery of Ga(NO sub(3) ) sub(3) ; moreover they provide evidence for the potential use of Ga(NO sub(3) ) sub(3) with PMMA as a strategy for the prevention and/or treatment for orthopaedic infections.

AN - 1761470877; 26711353 AB - Neurological toxicity and brain injury following vapor inhalation exposure to the chemical warfare nerve agent (CWNA) soman (GD) were examined in untreated non-anesthetized rats. In this study, male Sprague-Dawley rats (300-350 g) were exposed to 600 mg × min/m(3) of soman or vehicle in a customized head-out inhalation system for 7 min. Convulsant animals were observed for clinical signs and various regions of the brain (dorsolateral thalamus, basolateral amygdala, piriform cortex, and lateral cortex) were collected for pathological observations 24 h post-exposure. Signs of CWNA-induced cholinergic crises including salivation, lacrimation, increased urination and defecation, and tremors were observed in all soman-exposed animals. Soman-exposed animals at 24 h post-exposure lost 11% of their body weight in comparison to 2% in vehicle-exposed animals. Whole blood acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was significantly inhibited in all soman-exposed groups in comparison to controls. Brain injury was confirmed by the neurological assessment of hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining and microscopy in the piriform cortex, dorsolateral thalamus, basolateral amygdala, and lateral cortex. Severe damage including prominent lesions, edematous, congested, and/or hemorrhagic tissues was observed in the piriform cortex, dorsolateral thalamus, and lateral cortex in soman-exposed animals 24 h post-exposure, while only minimal damage was observed in the basolateral amygdala. These results indicate that inhalation exposure to soman vapor causes neurological toxicity and brain injury in untreated unanesthetized rats. This study demonstrates the ability of the described soman vapor inhalation exposure model to cause neurological damage 24 h post-exposure in rats.

AN - 1760886661; 26623679 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 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.

AN - 1760861133; 26756814 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.

Our goal was to find further information on the origin of the deposition and formation of intra-ice layers, bottom topography, and subbottom deposits using GPR with pulses centered near 850 MHz on two permanently ice-covered lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. The profiles were obtained using a one-person sled operation over Lake Bonney, which is typical of lakes in the region, having an ice thickness that ranges between 3 and 5 m, and Lake Vida, where the maximum ice depth is at least 27 m. Lake Bonney exhibits a semicontinuous sediment horizon at approximately a 2-m depth and several minor horizons. In contrast, Lake Vida contains unconformably eroded and folded continuous reflection horizons, packages of minor horizons between major horizons, evidence of incised fluvial deposition along the bottom, and subbottom penetration of at least 4.5 m in some areas. Where the ice thickness is less than 20 m, the lake is frozen to the bottom. Most horizon waveform phase attributes indicate relatively lower permittivity than in the surrounding matrix. Consequently, we interpreted these strata to be caused by layers of pure ice embedded within a salty and dirty ice matrix, which were formed during minor flooding. These findings supported previous conclusions that Lake Vida ice formed from surface runoff in combination with periods of ablation.

We used a lightweight robotic vehicle to tow 200- and 400-MHz ground-penetrating radar antennas simultaneously along 100 parallel transects over a 28 km (super 2) grid spanning the SZ width. Transects were generally orthogonal to the ice flow. Total firn and meteoric ice thickness was approximately 160 m. Firn crevasses profiled at 400 MHz were up to 16 m wide, under snow bridges up to 10 m thick, and with strikes near 35 degrees -40 degrees to the transect direction. From the top down, 200-MHz profiles revealed firn diffractions originating to a depth of approximately 40 m, no discernible structure within the meteoric ice, a discontinuous transitional horizon, and at least 20 m of stratified marine ice; 28-31 m of freeboard found more marine ice exists. Based on 10 consecutive transects covering approximately 2.5 km (super 2) , we preliminarily interpreted the transitional horizon to be a thin saline layer, and marine ice hyperbolic diffractions and reflections to be responses to localized fractures, and crevasses filled with unstratified marine ice, all at strikes from 27 degrees to 50 degrees . We preliminarily interpreted off-nadir, marine ice horizons to be responses to linear and folded faults, similar to some in firn. The coinciding and synchronously folded areas of fractured firn and marine ice suggested that the visibly unstructured meteoric ice beneath our grid was also fractured, but either never crevassed, crevassed and sutured without marine ice inclusions, or that any ice containing crevasses might have eroded before marine ice accretion. We will test these interpretations with analysis of all transects and by extending our grid and increasing our depth ranges.

Examples of the ground matrix include sands, glacial till, sub-lacustrine diamicton, glaciers and even icy moons. The likely anomalies are cylindrical or spherical water-filled conduits, boulders or saturation bulbs. In such cases refractive focusing within the anomaly may be the cause, whereby waves propagating along the curved surface continually refract along short cuts through the anomaly, which results in enhanced backscatter that emanates from the near the anomaly base. Although Mie scattering and optical ray path propagation of this phenomenon are well understood, the associated backscatter attributes of amplitude, dispersion and phase are not conceptually obvious from the mathematics. Here we try to provide some understanding of these attributes with theory, laboratory experiments with GPR pulses and higher permittivity spheres buried in lower permittivity sand, and numerical models that simulate the experiments. Our experiments clearly show amplitude enhancement of waves whose time delay is predicted by the surface wave explanation, yet with an unexpected reversal of waveform phase polarity. Theoretically we provide a geometrical model that predicts the position of the focal point as a function of the geometric and dielectric parameters, which we evaluate to find those that cause the focus to occur inside the sphere, and the unexpected phase change.

Hundreds of molecular structural moieties have been proposed as structural alerts. An emerging issue is that strict application of these alerts will result in a significant reduction of the chemistry space for new drug discovery, as more than half of the oral drugs on the market match at least one of the alerts. To mitigate this issue, we propose to apply a rigorous statistical analysis to derive/validate structural alerts before use. To derive human liver toxicity structural alerts, we retrieved all small-molecule entries from LiverTox, a U.S. National Institutes of Health online resource for information on human liver injuries induced by prescription and over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements. We classified the compounds into hepatotoxic, nonhepatotoxic, and possible hepatotoxic classes, and performed detailed statistical analyses to identify molecular structural fragments highly enriched in the hepatotoxic class beyond random distribution as structural alerts for human liver injuries. We identified 12 molecular fragments present in multiple marketed drugs that one can consider as common "drug-like" fragments, yet they are strongly associated with drug-induced human liver injuries. Thus, these fragments may be considered as robust hepatotoxicity structural alerts suitable for use in drug discovery screening programs. The use of structural alerts has contributed to the identification of many compounds with potential toxicity issues in modern drug discovery. However, with a large number of structural alerts published to date without proper validation, application of these alerts may restrict the chemistry space and prevent discovery of valuable drugs. To mitigate this issue, we showed how to use statistical analyses to develop a small, robust, and broadly applicable set of structural alerts.

Up-to-date knowledge about the pre-storm morphology of the coast can be instrumental in making accurate predictions about coastal change and damage during large storms like Hurricanes and Nor'Easters. For example, alongshore variations in the shape of ephemeral sandbars along the coastline can focus wave energy, subjecting different stretches of coastline to significantly higher waves. Variations in beach slope and width can also alter wave runup, causing higher wave-induced water levels which can cause overwash or inlet breaching. Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) offer a new capability to rapidly and inexpensively map vulnerable coastlines in advance of approaching storms. Here we present results from a prototype system that maps coastal topography and surf-zone morphology utilizing a multi-camera sensor. Structure-from-motion algorithms are used to generate topography and also constrain the trajectory of the sUAS. These data, in combination with mount boresight information, are used to rectify images from ocean-facing cameras. Images from all cameras are merged to generate a wide field of view allowing up to 5 minutes of continuous imagery time-series to be collected as the sUAS transits the coastline. Water imagery is then analyzed using wave-kinematics algorithms to provide information on surf-zone bathymetry. To assess this methodology, the absolute and relative accuracy of topographic data are evaluated in relation to simultaneously collected terrestrial lidar data. Ortho-rectification of water imagery is investigated using visible fixed targets installed in the surf-zone, and through comparison to stationary tower-based imagery. Future work will focus on evaluating how topographic and bathymetric data from this sUAS approach can be used to update forcing parameters in both empirical and numerical models predicting coast inundation and erosion in advance of storms.

These data may also be used by other agencies to monitor progress on damage repairs and restoration efforts by emergency responders and the public. Related requirements include repeatedly obtaining reference or baseline imagery before a major disaster occurs, as well as maintaining careful geodetic control on all imagery in a time series so that absolute georeferencing may be applied to the image stack through time. In addition, repeated post-event imagery acquisition is required, generally at a higher repetition rate soon after the event, then scaled back to less frequent acquisitions with time, to capture phenomena (such as fault afterslip) that are known to have rates that decrease rapidly with time. For example, lidar observations acquired before and after the South Napa earthquake of 2014, used in our extensive post-processing work that was funded primarily by FEMA, aided in the accurate forecasting of fault afterslip. Lidar was used to independently validate and verify the official USGS afterslip forecast. In order to keep pace with rapidly evolving technology, a development pipeline must be established and maintained to continually test and incorporate new sensors, while adapting these new components to the existing platform and linking them to the existing base software system, and then sequentially testing the system as it evolves. Improvements in system performance by incremental upgrades of system components and software are essential. Improving calibration parameters and thereby progressively eliminating artifacts requires ongoing testing, research and development. To improve the system, we have formed an interdisciplinary team with common interests and diverse sources of support. We share expertise and leverage funding while effectively and rapidly improving our system, which includes the sensor package and software for all steps in acquiring, processing and differencing repeat-pass lidar and electro-optical imagery, and the GRiD metadata and point cloud database standard, already used during disaster response surge events by other agencies (e.g., during Hurricane Sandy in 2012).

Research over the past decade involving energetic and metallic residues indicates conventional grab sampling yields unreproducible, biased, results with poor precision non-representative of site conditions. Spatially, grab sampling yields information only about the point sampled. However, risk assessment and remedial decisions are based on contaminant distribution over an area. Multiple grab samples are collected for spatial coverage with the number often based on "expert opinion". Recent research suggests new field sampling and laboratory processing procedures encompassed in the Incremental Sampling Methodology (ISM) and incorporated into United States Environmental Protection (USEPA) Method 8330B for energetics and the update to Method 3050B for metals are necessary to overcome heterogeneity issues. The ISM approach is different from conventional grab sampling due to the focus on a spatially averaged result over a decision unit (DU) obtained by the collection of many increments using a systematic random sampling approach to form a single sample. Total precision error using ISM is typically 100% are observed between field splits and laboratory replicates with conventional grab sampling. Field splitting often employed prior to laboratory sample processing resulted in poor precision and is not recommended. Milling or grinding of soil samples is necessary to reduce the total error of the sample and to obtain acceptable precision, especially in situations where the mean contaminant concentration is expected to be near the action level or other regulatory value.

These products have been created and served out publicly with the hope of enhancing decision-making capabilities and potentially improving the use of climate change information in water-resource planning and management. To date, all this work - used extensively to compute climate change threats and water-resource vulnerabilities - has been done for the contiguous U.S. (CONUS); these and most other tools and datasets produced by others have not been primarily concerned with the unique hydrometeorological problems in Alaska and Hawaii. However, the different hydroclimatic regions of both those states are especially sensitive to specific climate change threats made more difficult to characterize by the intense spatial climatic gradients tracked with sparse station networks there and the dominance of distinctive hydrologic processes relatively rare in the CONUS. Examples of those processes include glaciers and permafrost in Alaska; and volcanic subsurface hydrogeology, intense tropical rainfall, and high rates of evapotranspiration in Hawaii, to name but a few. To address these knowledge and capability gaps for these regions outside the CONUS, USACE and its partners are now developing new tools and datasets of current and projected future climatologies and hydrologies to provide enhanced streamflow simulations and support both climate risk assessments and climate adaptation strategies in Alaska and Hawaii. This presentation will focus on our early stage analysis of historical hydroclimate variability in Alaska and Hawaii using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model simulations and probabilistic interpolation of local gauge data in support of future new streamflow modeling. We will conclude with discussion of the ongoing and future research planned to better characterize and understand the sensitivity of the terrestrial component of the water cycle in Hawaii and Alaska to climate variability and change, and how this work can prepare for work in other similarly unique regions.

The Mississippi River and Tributaries (MR&T) Project that was spawned from the FCA of 1928 has produced a massive, comprehensive system for flood control and channel stabilization that includes levees, channel improvements, and floodways, as well as tributary reservoirs and other basin improvements. Additionally, the development of the river for safe and dependable navigation has generated a substantial engineering effort involving river training structures, meander cutoffs, and dredging. The historical, and present-day morphology of the LMR reflects an integration of all these engineering interventions (and the process-responses they have triggered in the fluvial system), combined with natural drivers of channel change and evolution, including floods and droughts, hurricanes, neotectonic activity, geologic outcrops, climate change, and relative sea-level rise. In response to the complex requirements in navigation, flood risk reduction, and environmental restoration, all with multiple stakeholders, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers created the Mississippi River Geomorphology & Potamology (MRG&P) Program. The goals of the MRG&P are to advance the knowledge of the geomorphology of the LMR and to transfer this technology to improve and sustain long-term management of the system. The results presented herein come from several MRG&P studies. The historical river morphology, and particularly the sources and delivery of sediments have changed dramatically over the past two centuries. In this presentation, the changes in sediment sources, and the manner in which this sediment is delivered through the channel system from the early 1800s to present-day is described.

Many southern California, USA salt marshes import sediment during El Nino storm events, but sediment fluxes and mechanisms during dry weather are also potentially important for marsh stability. We calculated tidal creek sediment fluxes within a sediment starved 1.5 km (super 2) salt marsh (Seal Beach) and a less modified 1 km (super 2) marsh (Mugu) with a watershed 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 12000 and 8800 kg in a western channel. This offset 8700 kg export during two months of dry weather, while landward net fluxes in the eastern channel accounted for 33% of the import. During the storm, 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 at Mugu yielded 4.4 g/s mean sediment flux, importing 1700 kg, accounting for 20% of dry weather fluxes. Overall, low sediment fluxes were observed, suggesting that these salt marshes are currently geomorphically stable. Our results suggest that storms and exceptionally 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 may lead to marsh elevational instability, based on estimated mineral sediment deficits.

Despite advances in computing power and the numerical solution of partial differential equations since Richards first published the RE in 1931, the solution remains unreliable. That is to say that there is no guarantee that for a particular set of soil constitutive relations, moisture profile conditions, or forcing input that a numerical RE solver will converge to an answer. This risk of non-convergence renders prohibitive the use of RE solvers in hydrological models that need perhaps millions of infiltration solutions. In lieu of using unreliable numerical RE solutions, researchers have developed a wide array of approximate solutions that more-or-less mimic the behavior of the RE, with some notable deficiencies such as parameter insensitivity or divergence over time. The improved Talbot-Ogden (T-O) finite water-content scheme was shown by Ogden et al. (2015) to be an extremely good approximation of the 1-D RE solution, with a difference in cumulative infiltration of only 0.2 percent over an 8 month simulation comparing the improved T-O scheme with a RE numerical solver. The reason is that the newly-derived fundamental flow equation that underpins the improved T-O method is equivalent to the RE minus a term that is equal to the diffusive flux divided by the slope of the wetting front. Because the diffusive flux has zero mean, this term is not important in calculating the mean flux. The wetting front slope is near infinite (sharp) in coarser soils that produce more significant hydrological interactions between surface and ground waters, which also makes this missing term 1) disappear in the limit, and, 2) create stability challenges for the numerical solution of RE. The improved T-O method is a replacement for the 1-D RE in soils that can be simulated as homogeneous layers, where the user is willing to neglect the effects of soil water diffusivity. This presentation emphasizes the transformative nature of the improved T-O finite water-content solution, and highlights the benefits of the methods' reliability in high-resolution large watershed simulations in the high performance computing environment, and discusses coupling of the soil matrix and non-Darcian macropores.

These heterogeneities such as differences in soil type, packing and moisture, combined with changes in surface and climate conditions can oftentimes mask the presence of the mine. Understanding the impact of heterogeneity on heat and mass transfer behavior in the vicinity of landmines is paramount to properly identifying landmine locations for demining operations. This study investigates the impact of soil heterogeneity on soil moisture and temperature distributions around buried objects with the goal of increasing our ability to model and predict the environmental conditions that are most dynamic to mine detection performance. A ten-day field experiment was conducted in which two anti-personnel landmines at different depths and a limestone block of comparable size were buried. The site was instrumented with a series of sensors, monitoring atmospheric, surface and subsurface conditions to include measurements of soil moisture, soil and air temperature, relative humidity, vapor concentration, and meteorological conditions such as wind speed and net radiation. Infrared thermal imaging was used to provide continuous profiles of surface temperature conditions. The soil was well characterized in the laboratory to provide good understanding of field conditions for numerical modeling efforts. Experimental results demonstrate the strongest thermal contrast between shallow landmine emplacement and the surrounding soil occurring as the sun approaches its zenith and two hours after sunset until the sun directly impacts the soil above the landmine. A finite-element model of fluid flow and heat transport through porous media is compared against experimental observations, capturing the diurnal variation. A validated model, like this one, offers the opportunity to improve landmine detection probabilities and reduce false alarms caused by environmental variability.

This information is frequently unknown or estimated with significant uncertainty. We developed a methodology for the ensemble prediction of the propagation of weak seismic pulses for short ranges. The ranges of interest are 10-100 of meters, and the pulse bandwidth is up to 200 Hz. Instead of specifying specific values for viscoelastic site properties, the methodology operates with probability distribution functions of the inputs. This yields ensemble realizations of the pulse at specified locations, where mean, median, and maximum likelihood predictions can be made, and confidence intervals are estimated. Starting with the site's Vs30, the methodology creates an ensemble of plausible vertically stratified Vs profiles for the site. The number and thickness of the layers are modeled using inhomogeneous Poisson process, and the Vs values in the layers are modeled by Gaussian correlated process. The Poisson expectation rate and Vs correlation between adjacent layers take into account layers depth and thickness, and are specific for a site class, as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). High-fidelity three-dimension thin layer method (TLM) is used to yield an ensemble of frequency response functions. Comparison with experiments revealed that measured signals are not always within the predicted ensemble. Variance-based global sensitivity analysis has shown that the most significant parameter in the TLM for the prediction of the pulse energy is the shear quality factor, Qs. Some strategies how to account for significant uncertainty in this parameter and to improve accuracy of the ensemble predictions for a specific site are investigated and discussed.

At tidewater outlet glaciers the characteristics of proglacial discharge affect fjord circulation, sediment deposition, submarine melt rates, and iceberg calving. Information about the spatio-temporal variability of discharge is limited by the challenges of in situ data collection at tidewater glaciers. Here, we present summertime measurements of subglacial discharge variability using a thermal infrared (7.5mu m to 13mu m) camera and intervalometer at Kangerlussuup Sermia (KS), a nearly equal 4km wide outlet glacier in the Uummannaq Bay region of West Greenland (71.46 N, 51.43 W). KS has an advantageous geometry for this investigation because of its shallow grounding zone and well-entrenched subglacial hydrologic system. In tandem, these characteristics promote buoyant freshwater to rise to the fjord surface from discrete outlets at the glacier's base. We investigate the timing of plume activity at these outlets and discuss potential controls on outlet switching. Raw camera measurements cannot be accurately converted to surface temperature without correcting for environmental variables and scene geometry, both of which are time-evolving during data acquisition. Our processing methodology relies on a variety of existing techniques -- image segmentation, ray casting, atmospheric radiative transfer modeling, Monte Carlo simulations -- and a variety of ancillary data products -- satellite imagery, atmospheric reanalysis, meteorologic and hydrologic measurements -- to produce the final results. What is gained is an unprecedented view into interactions between the cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere that control the dynamic and sensitive terminus region of a tidewater outlet glacier.

Geochemically-based hydrograph separation techniques in combination with glacier mass balance and runoff measurements can help refine our understanding of the contributing sources and therefore, support the refinement of both short-term flood forecasts and long-term runoff projections. Our study was designed to quantify the contribution of glacier melt, snow melt and rainfall to lowland streamflow of a sub-arctic basin and to assess hydrologic pathways of glacier wastage. Jarvis Creek watershed (634 km (super 2) ), Interior Alaska, drains the north-facing Eastern Alaska Range, starting at the Jarvis Glacier (6.7 km (super 2) ) and flows 69 km to its outlet in the Delta River, Delta Junction. Glacial contribution accounts for at least 15% of total runoff as estimated from measured glacier melt and lowland runoff. Daily stable water isotope samples near the Jarvis Creek outlet show distinct chemical signatures in contributing sources and large seasonal and interannual delta (super 18) O variability. For example, geochemical measurements from 2011 show low rainfall contribution into Jarvis Creek, whereas 2014 show high input of rainfall; and, unlike 2014, spring 2013 show a strong snowmelt contribution in late spring. Stable water isotopes will be the primary signature to inform our end-member volumetric mixing modeling efforts, while dissolved ion concentrations will support a differentiation between glacier- and groundwater sources. Ultimately, the combination of glacier mass balance, hydrological and geochemical measurements will allow us to gain a fundamental knowledge about the current regional hydrologic system.

However, the surface crevassing prevents ordinary vehicle access to investigate its structure geophysically. We used a lightweight robotic vehicle to tow 200 and 400 MHz ground-penetrating radar antennas simultaneously along 100 evenly spaced transects over a 28 km2 grid spanning the shear zone width. Transects were mainly orthogonal to ice flow. Total firn and meteoric ice thickness was about 160 m. Firn crevasses profiled at 400 MHz were up to 16 m wide, under snow bridges up to 10 m thick, and with strikes near 50-55 degrees to general flow direction. From top down, 200-MHz profiles reveal firn diffractions originating to about 40 m depth, no discernible structure within the meteoric ice, a discontinuous transitional horizon, and at least 20 m of disturbed and stratified marine ice. Freeboard ranging from 28-31 m shows more marine ice exists. We interpret the transitional horizon to be a thin saline layer, and marine ice hyperbolic diffractions and reflections to be responses to localized fractures and to crevasses of various widths, filled with unstratified marine ice, and at strikes mainly between 41-63 degrees . We interpret off-nadir, marine ice horizons to be responses to linear and folded faults, the structure and orientation of which are similar to some in firn. The coinciding and synchronously folded areas of fractured firn and marine ice suggest the visibly unstructured meteoric ice is also fractured, but either never crevassed, or crevassed and sutured without sea water penetration, and that any bottom crevasses that occurred near grounding lines have been thermally eroded. Consequently any fractures in the meteoric ice beneath our grid are likely to have formed far from any grounding area, but it is unclear why there is no evidence of sea water penetration given the fractured and crevassed marine ice.

It is a critical domain for marine biota and it regulates ocean-atmosphere exchange, including the exchange of greenhouse gases such as CO (sub 2) and CH (sub 4) . In this study, we determined the rates and pathways that govern gas transport through a mixed sea ice cover. N (sub 2) O, SF (sub 6) , (super 3) He, (super 4) He, and Ne were used as gas tracers of the exchange processes that take place at the ice-water and air-water interfaces in a laboratory sea ice experiment. Observation of the changes in gas concentrations during freezing revealed that He is indeed more soluble in ice than in water; Ne is less soluble in ice, and the larger gases (N (sub 2) O and SF (sub 6) ) are mostly excluded during the freezing process. Model estimates of gas diffusion through ice were calibrated using measurements of bulk gas content in ice cores, yielding gas transfer velocity through ice (k (sub ice) ) of approximately 5 X 10 (super -4) m d (super -1) . In comparison, the effective air-sea gas transfer velocities (k (sub eff) ) ranged up to 0.33 m d (super -1) providing further evidence that very little mixed-layer ventilation takes place via gas diffusion through columnar sea ice. However, this ventilation is distinct from air-ice gas fluxes driven by sea ice biogeochemistry. The magnitude of k (sub eff) showed a clear increasing trend with wind speed and current velocity beneath the ice, as well as the combination of the two. This result indicates that gas transfer cannot be uniquely predicted by wind speed alone in the presence of sea ice. Abstract Copyright (2015), . American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved.

High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) ocean regions, such as the North Pacific, are hypothesized to play a significant role in changing atmospheric CO-2 concentrations on glacial-interglacial timescales. Phytoplankton blooms generate methanesulfonate (MSA), an atmospheric oxidation product of dimethylsulfide (DMS) that is readily aerosolized and deposited in nearby glacial ice. In the summer of 2013, an NSF-funded team from Dartmouth College and the Universities of Maine and New Hampshire collected two 1000 year-long parallel ice cores to bedrock from the summit plateau of Mount Hunter in Denali National Park, Alaska (62.940 degrees N, 151.088 degrees W, 3912 m elevation). The Mt. Hunter ice core site is well situated to record changes in trans-Pacific dust flux and MSA emissions in the North Pacific. Here we investigate the history of dust flux to Denali over the last millennium using major and trace element chemistry and microparticle concentration and size distribution data from the Mt. Hunter cores. We evaluate potential controlling mechanisms on Denali dust flux including conditions at Asian dust sources (storminess, wind speed, precipitation), the strength of the Aleutian Low, and large-scale climate modes such as the El Nino-Southern Oscillation and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. We also evaluate the Mt. Hunter record for relationships between dust flux and MSA concentrations to investigate whether dust fertilization enhanced North Pacific phytoplankton production over the past 1000 years. Future work will create a composite North Pacific dust record using new and existing Mt. Logan ice core records to evaluate these relationships over the entire Holocene.

A millennial-length precipitation proxy record is needed to place late 20th century Alaskan precipitation increases into longer context, and to evaluate hydroclimate changes during the Little Ice Age and Medieval Climate Anomaly. High-elevation summer temperature records would be valuable for understanding the sensitivity of Alaskan glaciers to past warm and cool periods. Here we present an overview of the new Denali Ice Core record collected from the summit plateau (4000 m a.s.l.) of Mt. Hunter (63 degrees N, 151 degrees W) in Denali National Park, Alaska. Two parallel ice cores were collected to bedrock (208 m in length) in May-June 2013, sampled using the Dartmouth continuous melter system, and analyzed for major ions, trace elements, particle concentration and size distribution, and stable isotope ratios at Dartmouth and the Universities of Maine and New Hampshire. The cores are dated using robust annual oscillations in dust elements, methanesulfonate, ammonium, and stable isotopes, and validated using major volcanic eruptions recorded as sulfate, chloride and heavy metal spikes, and the 1963 nuclear weapons testing (super 137) Cs spike. Preliminary analyses indicate a significant increase in both summer temperature and annual accumulation over the 20th century, and significant relationships with major ocean-atmospheric modes including the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. We compare the new Denali record to the Eclipse Icefield and Mt. Logan ice core records and develop composite records of North Pacific hydroclimate and atmospheric circulation variability over the past millennium.

In Alaska, the development of centennial scale precipitation records is needed to contextualize the current rapid changes in precipitation and glacial mass balance occurring along the North Pacific margin. Here, we investigate precipitation changes over the last three centuries using an ice core collected to bedrock from Mt. Hunter (63 degrees N, 151 degrees W, 4,000 meters above sea level) in Denali National Park, Alaska. To develop the snow accumulation record, we calculated water equivalent annual layer thicknesses in the ice core by identification of annual peaks in major ions (MSA, Cl (super -) , NO (sub 3) (super -) , SO (sub 4) (super 2-) , Na (super +) , NH (sub 4) (super +) , K (super +) , Mg (super 2+) , and Ca (super 2+) ) and water isotopes. We then corrected the annual layer thickness for thinning using three different flow models (Nye, Hooke and Dansgaard-Johnsen) that have been widely used to simulate layer thickness with depth near an ice divide. Each of these models is optimized such that the discrepancy between the annual layer counted age scale and the modeled age scale is minimized. Our results show that water equivalent annual accumulation has increased from 1.43 meters in 1900 to 2.03 meters by 2012, an increase of 42%. The Mt. Hunter accumulation record is regionally representative of precipitation in southwest and central Alaska based on strong correlations with reanalysis precipitation data. Comparisons with ERA-Interim reanalysis data show that years of high accumulation on Denali are associated with stronger southerly winds, warmer sea surface and air temperatures, and pressure anomalies resembling a positive phase of the East Pacific-North Pacific Pattern. Together, this analysis shows that precipitation on Mt. Hunter has a strong positive correlation (R2=0.73) with annual average meridional wind strength in southwestern Alaska, which is related to atmospheric pressure gradients between the Bering Sea and the eastern Gulf of Alaska.

This glacial retreat began at the end of the Little Ice Age in the late 19th century, and early glacial fluctuations during the Medieval Climate Anomaly are known from AK moraine chronologies. Glacier mass balance is most susceptible to summertime temperatures, but instrumental records only extend to the early 20th century, and few paleoclimate records preserve a pure summertime record of past temperatures. A high-resolution record of past Alaskan summertime temperatures would improve glaciological model hindcasts of MCA and LIA advances and retreats, and improve predictions of future glacial melt under various warming scenarios. Here we present an ice core melt layer record from a plateau location on Mt. Hunter (63 degrees N, 151 degrees W, 4,000 meters above sea level), providing a robust proxy of central AK summertime temperatures over the past 1000 years. Melt layers in the ice core were identified visually and quantified by brightness contrast with the surrounding ice matrix. Melt layer taphonomy due to densification, thinning and ice core quality was taken into account in developing the record. Our results show that melt layers were present in the ice core between the years 1000-1500 before nearly disappearing between the years 1500 and 1900 (about 0-3 events/century). During the early 20th century, the study site experienced a rapid 20-fold increase in the frequency of melt events. Since the year 1900, melt events have occurred during 35% percent of summers, with an acceleration of melt frequency in the late 20th century. Using modern meteorological records from the Alaska Range, we estimate that this increase in melt equates to an increase of 3-4 degrees C in mean summer temperature.

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data recorded on a linear trenched fiber optic cable sensor can accurately sample surface waves in a near continuous fashion (>1 kHz) with high spatial resolution (>1 receiver/m) and long range (10's of km). DAS recordings of ambient noise represent a unique means to explore the practical reliability of field-scale seismic property estimation from seismic interferometry. We test this hypothesis using continuous DAS field recordings from a shallow trench experiment near a busy road with diurnally-variable traffic patterns. Continuous records are processed using a modified ambient noise workflow consisting of receiver pair crosscorrelation, signal stacking, dispersion analysis, and a Monte Carlo search procedure to determine a best-fitting Vs model. The same processing flow is also applied to campaign data acquired with geophones to determine the repeatability benefit of trenched DAS deployment.

Following cross-correlations the resulting coherent waveforms are then synthesized into a velocity estimate, often in the form of a dispersion image. As we move towards larger surveys and arrays for continuous subsurface monitoring, this computation can become prohibitively expensive. We show that theoretically equivalent results can be achieved by a simple algorithm which skips the cross-correlations, and scales as O(n). Additionally, this algorithm is embarrassingly parallel, and is significantly cheaper than the commonly used algorithms. We demonstrate the algorithm on two field data sets: (1) a continuously recording linear trenched distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) array designed as a pilot test to develop a permafrost thaw monitoring system, and (2) the Long Beach Array, an irregularly spaced 3D array. These results show superior performance in both speed and numerical accuracy. An open-source implementation of this algorithm is available.

The recent development of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) provides a clear path for inexpensively recording high spatial resolution (< 1m sampling) surface wave data in the context of infrastructure monitoring over significant spatial domains (10s of km). Infrastructure monitoring is particularly crucial in the context of high-latitude installations where a changing global climate can trigger reductions in soil strength due to permafrost thaw. DAS surface wave monitoring systems, particularly those installed in/near transport corridors and coupled to ambient noise inversion algorithms, could be a critical "early warning" system to detect zones of decreased shear strength before failure. We present preliminary ambient noise tomography results from a 1.3 km continuously recording subsurface DAS array used to record traffic noise next to an active road in Fairbanks, AK. The array, deployed at the Farmer's Loop Permafrost Test Station, was designed as a narrow 2D array and installed via trenching at nearly equal 30 cm. We develop a pre-processing and QC approach to analyze the large resulting volume of data, equivalent to a 1300 geophone array sampled at 1 khz. We utilize automated dispersion analysis and a quasi-2D MC inversion to generate a shear wave velocity profile underneath the road in a region of discontinuous permafrost. The results are validated against a high-resolution ERT survey as well as direct-push data on ice content. We also compare vintages of ambient noise DAS data to evaluate the short-term repeatability of the technique in the face of changing noise environments. The resulting dataset demonstrates the utility of using DAS for real-time shear-modulus monitoring in support of critical infrastructure.

The aim of this study was to develop specific molecular diagnostic assays for M. macacae and to determine their performance characteristics. Methods We developed six real-time PCR assays on the Roche LightCycler. The accuracy, precision, selectivity, and limit of detection (LOD) were determined for each assay, in addition to further validation by testing nasal swabs from macaques presenting with epistaxis at the Tulane National Primate Research Center. Results All assays exhibited 100% specificity and were highly sensitive with an LOD of 10 fg for chromosomal assays and 1 fg for the plasmid assay. Testing of nasal swabs from 10 symptomatic macaques confirmed the presence of M. macacae in these animals. Conclusions We developed several accurate, sensitive, and species-specific real-time PCR assays for the detection of M. macacae in captive macaques.

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.

Daily Activity Patterns and Nest Predation by Snakes AN - 1776649825; PQ0002796349 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.

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.

AN - 1736411334; 26368006 AB - The recent availability of multiple Clostridium botulinum genomic sequences has initiated a new genomics era that strengthens our understanding of the bacterial species that produce botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs). Analysis of the genomes has reinforced the historical Group I-VI designations and provided evidence that the bont genes can be located within the chromosome, phage or plasmids. The sequences provide the opportunity to examine closely the variation among the toxin genes, the composition and organization of the toxin complex, the regions flanking the toxin complex and the location of the toxin within different bacterial strains. These comparisons provide evidence of horizontal gene transfer and site-specific insertion and recombination events that have contributed to the variation observed among the neurotoxins. Here, examples that have contributed to the variation observed in serotypes A-H strains are presented to illustrate the mechanisms that have contributed to their variation.

AN - 1730023394; 26343853 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 kcat of 5min(-1) and a KM of 590μM at pH7.5. There was no selective preference for hydrolysis of any of the four soman stereoisomers. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AN - 1733929535; 26505999 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.

AN - 1731784357; 26522088 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 Ki 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. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Spectral measurements were made for both bare and ponded ice types at a total of 19 ice stations in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. These data, along with irradiance profiles taken within boreholes, laboratory measurements of the optical properties of core samples, ice physical property observations, and radiative transfer model simulations are employed to describe representative optical properties for melting first-year Arctic sea ice. Ponded ice was found to transmit roughly 4.4 times more total energy into the ocean, relative to nearby bare ice. The ubiquitous surface-scattering layer and drained layer present on bare, melting sea ice are responsible for its relatively high albedo and relatively low transmittance. Light transmittance through ponded ice depends on the physical thickness of the ice and the magnitude of the scattering coefficient in the ice interior. Bare ice reflects nearly three-quarters of the incident sunlight, enhancing its resiliency to absorption by solar insolation. In contrast, ponded ice absorbs or transmits to the ocean more than three-quarters of the incident sunlight. Characterization of the heat balance of a summertime ice cover is largely dictated by its pond coverage, and light transmittance through ponded ice shows strong contrast between first-year and multiyear Arctic ice covers.

Two forced-gradient bacterial transport tests of site groundwater containing chloride or bromide tracer and either a mixed culture of Gordonia sp. KTR9 (xplA super(+)Km super(R)), Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 (pGKT2 transconjugant; xplA super(+)Km super(R)) and Pseudomonas fluorescens I-C (xenB super(+)), or a single culture of Gordonia sp. KTR9 (xplA super(+); 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.

AN - 1727987635; 26500288 AB - Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) offer a pathway-based toxicological framework to support hazard assessment and regulatory decision-making. However, little has been discussed about the scientific confidence needed, or how complete a pathway should be, before use in a specific regulatory application. Here we review four case studies to explore the degree of scientific confidence and extent of completeness (in terms of causal events) that is required for an AOP to be useful for a specific purpose in a regulatory application: (i) Membrane disruption (Narcosis) leading to respiratory failure (low confidence), (ii) Hepatocellular proliferation leading to cancer (partial pathway, moderate confidence), (iii) Covalent binding to proteins leading to skin sensitization (high confidence), and (iv) Aromatase inhibition leading to reproductive dysfunction in fish (high confidence). Partially complete AOPs with unknown molecular initiating events, such as 'Hepatocellular proliferation leading to cancer', were found to be valuable. We demonstrate that scientific confidence in these pathways can be increased though the use of unconventional information (eg, computational identification of potential initiators). AOPs at all levels of confidence can contribute to specific uses. A significant statistical or quantitative relationship between events and/or the adverse outcome relationships is a common characteristic of AOPs, both incomplete and complete, that have specific regulatory uses. For AOPs to be useful in a regulatory context they must be at least as useful as the tools that regulators currently possess, or the techniques currently employed by regulators.

AN - 1725026364; 26375160 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.

AN - 1725025156; 26418828 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.

Models predict that the maximum rate of sea level rise a marsh can survive is proportional to suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and accretion. In contrast, we find that SSC and accretion are higher in an unstable marsh than in an adjacent stable marsh, suggesting that these metrics cannot describe wetland vulnerability. Therefore, we propose the flood/ebb SSC differential and organic-inorganic suspended sediment ratio as better vulnerability metrics. The unstable marsh favors sediment export (18 mg L (super -1) higher on ebb tides), while the stable marsh imports sediment (12 mg L (super -1) higher on flood tides). The organic-inorganic SSC ratio is 84% higher in the unstable marsh, and stable isotopes indicate a source consistent with marsh-derived material. These simple metrics scale with sediment fluxes, integrate spatiotemporal variability, and indicate sediment sources. Abstract Copyright (2015), . The Authors.

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.

AN - 1720449666; 26359671 AB - Water- and solvent-soluble polymeric materials based on polyalkylamines modified with nucleophilic groups are introduced as catalysts of chemical warfare agent (CWA) hydrolysis. A comparative study conducted at constant pH and based on the criteria of the synthetic route simplicity, aqueous solubility, and rate of hydrolysis of CWA mimic, diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), indicated that 4-aminopyridine-substituted polyallylamine (PAAm-APy) and polyvinylamine substituted with 4-aminopyridine (PVAm-APy) were advantageous over 4-pyridinealdoxime-modified PVAm and PAAm, poly(butadiene-co-pyrrolidinopyridine), and PAAm modified with bipyridine and its complex with Cu(II). The synthesis of PVAm-APy and PAAm-APy involved generation of a betaine derivative of acrylamide and its covalent attachment onto the polyalkylamine chain followed by basic hydrolysis. Hydrogel particles of PAAm-APy and PVAm-APy cross-linked by epichlorohydrin exhibited pH-dependent swelling and ionization patterns that affected the rate constants of DFP nucleophilic hydrolysis. Deprotonation of the aminopyridine and amine groups increased the rates of the nucleophilic hydrolysis. The second-order rate of nucleophilic hydrolysis was 5.5- to 10-fold higher with the nucleophile-modified gels compared to those obtained by cross-linking of unmodified PAAm, throughout the pH range. Testing of VX and soman (GD) was conducted in 2.5-3.7 wt % PVAm-APy suspensions or gels swollen in water or DMSO/water mixtures. The half-lives of GD in aqueous PVAm-APy were 12 and 770 min at pH 8.5 and 5, respectively. Addition of VX into 3.5-3.7 wt % suspensions of PVAm-APy in DMSO-d6 and D2O at initial VX concentration of 0.2 vol % resulted in 100% VX degradation in less than 20 min. The unmodified PVAm and PAAm were 2 orders of magnitude less active than PVAm-APy and PAAm-APy, with VX half-lives in the range of 24 h. Furthermore, the PVAm-APy and PAAm-APy gels facilitated the dehydrochlorination reaction of sulfur mustard (HD) and its analogue 2-chloroethyl ethylsulfide (CEES). The ability of the reported aminopyridine-modified polyalkylamine materials to degrade the most persistent of CWAs, coupled with aqueous solubility, and the presence of numerous amino groups that provide convenient "handles" for covalent attachment on polymeric and inorganic supports yields promise for applications such as protective fabric and textile treatment and components of decontaminating materials.

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 Copyright (2015) Elsevier, B.V.

Here, we describe a means to target the photocatalysis by surface modification of nanoparticulate TiO sub(2) with a 13 amino acid streptavidin binding peptide (SBP) for the selective degradation of streptavidin, a 60 kDa tettamene protein. Modification of the TiO sub(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 sub(2). Photodegradation studies using the visible region of simulated solar radiation (> or =360 nm) showed rapid streptavidin degradation by SBP-TiO sub(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 sub(2) surface retained its ability to bind streptavidin demonstrating that the SBP is stable at the TiO sub(2) surface and that the SBP-TiO sub(2) surface is reusable. These results indicate that the modification of TiO sub(2) with covalently bound peptide recognition moieties offers the ability to selectively degrade target proteins of interest, leaving non-target components largely unaffected.

AN - 1716939606; 26381092 AB - In this study, we used high-throughput computational screening to discover drug-like inhibitors of the host MyD88 protein-protein signaling interaction implicated in the potentially lethal immune response associated with Staphylococcal enterotoxins. We built a protein-protein dimeric docking model of the Toll-interleukin receptor (TIR)-domain of MyD88 and identified a binding site for docking small molecules. Computational screening of 5 million drug-like compounds led to testing of 30 small molecules; one of these molecules inhibits the TIR-TIR domain interaction and attenuates pro-inflammatory cytokine production in human primary cell cultures. Compounds chemically similar to this hit from the PubChem database were observed to be more potent with improved drug-like properties. Most of these 2(nd) generation compounds inhibit Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB)-induced TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-1β production at 2-10 μM in human primary cells. Biochemical analysis and a cell-based reporter assay revealed that the most promising compound, T6167923, disrupts MyD88 homodimeric formation, which is critical for its signaling function. Furthermore, we observed that administration of a single dose of T6167923 completely protects mice from lethal SEB-induced toxic shock.

AN - 1710657034; 26274608 AB - The V-type organophosphorus nerve agents are among the most hazardous compounds known. Previous efforts to evolve the bacterial enzyme phosphotriesterase (PTE) for the hydrolytic decontamination of VX resulted in the identification of the variant L7ep-3a, which has a kcat value more than 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of wild-type PTE for the hydrolysis of VX. Because of the relatively small size of the O-ethyl, methylphosphonate center in VX, stereoselectivity is not a major concern. However, the Russian V-agent, VR, contains a larger O-isobutyl, methylphosphonate center, making stereoselectivity a significant issue since the SP-enantiomer is expected to be significantly more toxic than the RP-enantiomer. The three-dimensional structure of the L7ep-3a variant was determined to a resolution of 2.01 Å (PDB id: 4ZST ). The active site of the L7ep-3a mutant has revealed a network of hydrogen bonding interactions between Asp-301, Tyr-257, Gln-254, and the hydroxide that bridges the two metal ions. A series of new analogues that mimic VX and VR has helped to identify critical structural features for the development of new enzyme variants that are further enhanced for the catalytic detoxification of VR and VX. The best of these mutants has been shown to have a reversed stereochemical preference for the hydrolysis of VR-chiral center analogues. This mutant hydrolyzes the two enantiomers of VR 160- and 600-fold faster than wild-type PTE hydrolyzes the SP-enantiomer of VR.

Substitution of Fe super(2+) for Mg is fairly extensive in certain rock types, particularly banded iron formations, yet there is relatively limited fundamental crystal-chemical information on this substitution. This study is an experimental investigation of Fe super(2+) substitution for Mg using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Talc was synthesized in 0.5 Fe cation [0.17 X sub(Fe), X sub(Fe) = Fe/(Fe + Mg )] increments along the join Mg sub(3)Si sub(4)O sub(10)(OH) sub(2)-Fe sub(3)Si sub(4)O sub(10)(OH) sub(2) over the range of 350-700 degree C, oxygen fugacities (fO sub(2)) from ~Ni-NiO to 3.3 log(fO sub(2)) units below Ni-NiO, and at a pressure of 0.2 GPa. High yields of talc without any coexisting Fe-bearing phases were obtained up to 0.33 X sub(Fe), beyond which talc coexisted with fayalitic olivine, magnetite, or both, indicating saturation in Fe for syntheses along the talc join. Infrared spectroscopy was used to determine independently the X sub(Fe) of talc, showing a deviation from the observed and expected composition starting at X sub(Fe) of 0.37 plus or minus 0.03. Minor additional solid solution occurred beyond this to a maximum X sub(Fe) solubility of 0.50. Mossbauer spectroscopy indicated the dominance of octahedral Fe super(2+) in talc with octahedral Fe super(3+) ranging from 2.9 to 21.5 at.%, depending on the ambient fO sub(2). X-ray diffraction analysis did not confirm the strong dependence of the interplanar spacing d sub(003) on the oxygen fugacity as reported earlier in the literature. This study provides the first experimentally constrained unit-cell volume of 474.4 plus or minus 2.2 Aa super(3) (142.6 plus or minus 0.7 cm super(3)/mol) for the end-member Fe sub(3)Si sub(4)O sub(10)(OH) sub(2). The observed upper limit of iron solubility in talc of about 0.5 X sub(Fe) agrees with the majority of analyses reported for talc, and that values above this are attributed to intergrowths of talc with the structurally distinct minnesotaite.

Advances in technology for creating DEMs have increased their resolution and data size with the result that algorithms for processing them are frequently memory limited. This paper presents a new approach to the management of memory in the parallel solution of hydrologic terrain processing using a user-level virtual memory system for shared-memory multithreaded systems. The method includes tailored virtual memory management of raster-based calculations for datasets that are larger than available memory and a novel order-of-calculations approach to parallel hydrologic terrain analysis applications. The method is illustrated for the pit filling algorithm used first in most hydrologic terrain analysis workflows.

However, the application of commercially available mitochondria trackers is limited due to their poor photostability. To overcome these disadvantages, we designed and synthesized a mitochondria-localized fluorescent probe by conjugating 1,8-naphthalimide with triphenylphosphonium (i.e. NPA-TPP). The structure and characteristic of NPA-TPP was characterized by UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, FTIR, MS, etc. The photostability and cell imaging were performed on the laser scanning confocal microscopy. Moreover, the cytotoxicity of NPA-TPP on cells was evaluated using (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay. The results showed that NPA-TPP not only has high sensitivity and specificity to mitochondria, but also exhibits super-high photostability, negligible cytotoxicity and good water solubility. In short, NPA-TPP indicates great potential for targeting mitochondria and enables a real-time and long-term tracking mitochondrial dynamics changes.

AN - 1717485010; 25637943 AB - With the recent development of more sensitive biomarkers to assess kidney injury preclinically, a survey was designed i) to investigate what strategies are used to investigate renal toxicity in both ICH S7A compliant Safety Pharmacology (SP) studies after a single dose of a compound and within repeat-dose toxicity studies by large pharmaceutical companies today; ii) to understand whether renal SP studies have impact or utility in drug development and/or if it may be more appropriate to assess renal effects after multiple doses of compounds; iii) to ascertain how much mechanistic work is performed by the top 15 largest pharmaceutical companies (as determined by R&D revenue size); iv) to gain an insight into the impact of the validation of DIKI biomarkers and their introduction in the safety evaluation paradigm; and v) to understand the impact of renal/urinary safety study data on progression of projects. Two short anonymous surveys were submitted to SP leaders of the top 15 pharmaceutical companies, as defined by 2012 R&D portfolio size. Fourteen multiple choice questions were designed to explore the strategies used to investigate renal effects in both ICH S7A compliant SP studies and within toxicology studies. A 67% and 60% response rate was obtained in the first and second surveys, respectively. Nine out of ten respondent companies conduct renal excretory measurements (eg. urine analysis) in toxicology studies whereas only five out of ten conduct specific renal SP studies; and all of those 5 also conduct the renal excretory measurements in toxicology studies. These companies measure and/or calculate a variety of parameters as part of these studies, and also on a case by case basis include regulatory qualified and non-qualified DIKI biomarkers. Finally, only one company has used renal/urinary functional data alone to stop a project, whereas the majority of respondents combine renal data with other target organ assessments to form an integrated decision-making set. These short surveys highlighted areas of similarity: a) urinary measurements are most commonly taken on repeat-dose toxicity studies, and b) renal SP studies are less often utilised. The two major differences are a) lack of consistent use of DIKI biomarkers in urinary safety studies and b) the way large pharmaceutical companies assess renal function. Finally, suggestions were made to improve the safety assessment methods for determining the safety of compounds with potential renal liability. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

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.

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.

AN - 1711537212; 26227567 AB - 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. 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. 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%. 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. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

(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.

AN - 1706575872; 26170251 AB - To lower the possibility of late-stage failures in the drug development process, an up-front assessment of absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and toxicity is commonly implemented through a battery of in silico and in vitro assays. As in vitro data is accumulated, in silico quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models can be trained and used to assess compounds even before they are synthesized. Even though it is generally recognized that QSAR model performance deteriorates over time, rigorous independent studies of model performance deterioration is typically hindered by the lack of publicly available large data sets of structurally diverse compounds. Here, we investigated predictive properties of QSAR models derived from an assembly of publicly available human liver microsomal (HLM) stability data using variable nearest neighbor (v-NN) and random forest (RF) methods. In particular, we evaluated the degree of time-dependent model performance deterioration. Our results show that when evaluated by 10-fold cross-validation with all available HLM data randomly distributed among 10 equal-sized validation groups, we achieved high-quality model performance from both machine-learning methods. However, when we developed HLM models based on when the data appeared and tried to predict data published later, we found that neither method produced predictive models and that their applicability was dramatically reduced. On the other hand, when a small percentage of randomly selected compounds from data published later were included in the training set, performance of both machine-learning methods improved significantly. The implication is that 1) QSAR model quality should be analyzed in a time-dependent manner to assess their true predictive power and 2) it is imperative to retrain models with any up-to-date experimental data to ensure maximum applicability.

AN - 1705475125; 26182079 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.

AN - 1702654543; 26251320 AB - A systems toxicology investigation comparing and integrating transcriptomic and proteomic results was conducted to develop holistic effects characterizations for the wildlife bird model, Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) dosed with the explosives degradation product 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2A-DNT). A subchronic 60 d toxicology bioassay was leveraged where both sexes were dosed via daily gavage with 0, 3, 14, or 30 mg/kg-d 2A-DNT. Effects on global transcript expression were investigated in liver and kidney tissue using custom microarrays for C. virginianus in both sexes at all doses, while effects on proteome expression were investigated in liver for both sexes and kidney in males, at 30 mg/kg-d. As expected, transcript expression was not directly indicative of protein expression in response to 2A-DNT. However, a high degree of correspondence was observed among gene and protein expression when investigating higher-order functional responses including statistically enriched gene networks and canonical pathways, especially when connected to toxicological outcomes of 2A-DNT exposure. Analysis of networks statistically enriched for both transcripts and proteins demonstrated common responses including inhibition of programmed cell death and arrest of cell cycle in liver tissues at 2A-DNT doses that caused liver necrosis and death in females. Additionally, both transcript and protein expression in liver tissue was indicative of induced phase I and II xenobiotic metabolism potentially as a mechanism to detoxify and excrete 2A-DNT. Nuclear signaling assays, transcript expression and protein expression each implicated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) nuclear signaling as a primary molecular target in the 2A-DNT exposure with significant downstream enrichment of PPAR-regulated pathways including lipid metabolic pathways and gluconeogenesis suggesting impaired bioenergetic potential. Although the differential expression of transcripts and proteins was largely unique, the consensus of functional pathways and gene networks enriched among transcriptomic and proteomic datasets provided the identification of many critical metabolic functions underlying 2A-DNT toxicity as well as impaired PPAR signaling, a key molecular initiating event known to be affected in di- and trinitrotoluene exposures.

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.

Field measurements were combined with numerical modeling of soil thermal dynamics to assess the roles of fire severity and climate history in postfire permafrost dynamics. Field-based calculations of potential thaw settlement following the loss of remaining ice-rich permafrost averaged 0.6 m. This subsidence would cause the surface elevations of forests to drop on average 0.1 m below the surface water level of adjacent collapse-scar features. Up to 0.5 m of thaw settlement was documented after recent fires, causing water impoundment and further thawing along forest margins. Substantial heterogeneity in soil properties (organic layer thickness, texture, moisture, and ice content) was attributed to differing site histories, which resulted in distinct soil thermal regimes by soil type. Model simulations showed increasing vulnerability of permafrost to deep thawing and thaw settlement with increased fire severity (i.e., reduced organic layer thickness). However, the thresholds of fire severity that triggered permafrost destabilization varied temporally in response to climate. Simulated permafrost dynamics underscore the importance of multiyear to multidecadal fluctuations in air temperature and snow depth in mediating the effects of fire on permafrost. Our results suggest that permafrost is becoming increasingly vulnerable to substantial thaw and collapse after moderate to high-severity fire, and the ability of permafrost to recover is diminishing as the climate continues to warm.

We describe a series of linked modules for benefits calculation. The modules include: oyster (Crassostrea virginica) bioenergetics, materials transport via the tidal prism, and benefits quantification. Quantified benefits include carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus removal and shell production. The modules are demonstrated through application to the Great Wicomico River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, USA. Oysters on seven reefs (total area 2.8 10 super(5) m super(2)) are calculated to remove 15.2, 6.2, and 0.2 tons per annum of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, respectively, from the Great Wicomico.

Immobilized SMAP orientation-dependent activity was probed against multiple bacteria of clinical interest including Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus anthracis sterne and Staphylococcus aureus. A kinetic microplate assay was employed to reveal both concentration and time-dependent activity for elucidation of minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and sub-lethal effects. Immobilized SMAP activity was equivalent or reduced compared with soluble SMAP_c and c_SMAP regardless of immobilization orientation, with only one exception. A comparison of immobilized SMAP_c and c_SMAP activity revealed a bacteria-specific potency dependent on immobilization orientation, which was contrary to that seen in solution, wherein SMAP_c was more potent against all bacteria than c_SMAP. Sub-MBC kinetic studies displayed the influence of peptide exposure to the cells with multiple bacteria exhibiting increased susceptibility and efficacy at lower concentrations upon extended exposure (i.e. MBC enhancement). For instances in which complete killing was not achieved, two predominant effects were evident: retardation of growth rate and an increased lag phase. Both effects, seen independently and concomitantly, indicate some degree of induced cellular damage that can serve as a predictor toward eventual cell death. SMAP_c immobilized on glass through standard silanization chemistry was also investigated to ascertain the influence of substrate on activity against select bacteria. Immobilized antimicrobial peptide, SMAP-29, demonstrated orientation-dependent activity against multiple bacteria of clinical interest that, contrary to solution state, possessed bacteria specific potency. Time-dependent activity studies demonstrated potency enhancements as a function of peptide-cell exposure time and revealed sub-lethal effects that can serve as useful predictors toward eventual cell death. Results herein could have implications on the future development of broad-based novel antimicrobial surfaces.

AN - 1701312345; 25782181 AB - 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. We report herein a current Standard of Knowledge in general toxicology compiled from the experience and opinions of 889 certified practicing professional toxicologists. 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. This work was conducted toward ensuring the scientific integrity of the products produced by professional toxicologists.

AN - 1701297783; 26232259 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 50mg/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.

AN - 1698961182; 26200980 AB - AVI-7288 is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer with positive charges that targets the viral messenger RNA that encodes Marburg virus (MARV) nucleoprotein. Its safety in humans is undetermined. We assessed the efficacy of AVI-7288 in a series of studies involving a lethal challenge with MARV in nonhuman primates. The safety of AVI-7288 was evaluated in a randomized, multiple-ascending-dose study in which 40 healthy humans (8 humans per dose group) received 14 once-daily infusions of AVI-7288 (1 mg, 4 mg, 8 mg, 12 mg, or 16 mg per kilogram of body weight) or placebo, in a 3:1 ratio. We estimated the protective dose in humans by comparing pharmacokinetic variables in infected nonhuman primates, uninfected nonhuman primates, and uninfected humans. Survival in infected nonhuman primates was dose-dependent, with survival rates of 0%, 30%, 59%, 87%, 100%, and 100% among monkeys treated with 0 mg, 3.75 mg, 7.5 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg of AVI-7288 per kilogram, respectively (P<0.001 with the use of the log-rank test for the comparison of survival across groups). No safety concern was identified at doses up to 16 mg per kilogram per day in humans. No serious adverse events were reported. Drug exposure (the area under the curve) was dose-dependent in both nonhuman primates and humans; drug clearance was independent of dose but was higher in nonhuman primates than in humans. The protective dose in humans was initially estimated, on the basis of exposure, to be 9.6 mg per kilogram per day (95% confidence interval, 6.6 to 12.5) for 14 days. Monte Carlo simulations supported a dose of 11 mg per kilogram per day to match the geometric mean protective exposure in nonhuman primates. This study shows that, on the basis of efficacy in nonhuman primates and pharmacokinetic data in humans, AVI-7288 has potential as postexposure prophylaxis for MARV infection in humans.

In a heterogeneous tree collection, each tree can contain a unique set of taxa. An ideal compression method would allow for the efficient archival of large tree collections and enable scientists to identify common evolutionary relationships over disparate analyses. In this paper, we extend TreeZip to compress heterogeneous collections of trees. TreeZip is the most efficient algorithm for compressing homogeneous tree collections. To the best of our knowledge, no other domain-based compression algorithm exists for large heterogeneous tree collections or enable their rapid analysis. Our experimental results indicate that TreeZip averages 89.03 percent (72.69 percent) space savings on unweighted (weighted) collections of trees when the level of heterogeneity in a collection is moderate. The organization of the TRZ file allows for efficient computations over heterogeneous data. For example, consensus trees can be computed in mere seconds. Lastly, combining the TreeZip compressed (TRZ) file with general-purpose compression yields average space savings of 97.34 percent (81.43 percent) on unweighted (weighted) collections of trees. Our results lead us to believe that TreeZip will prove invaluable in the efficient archival of tree collections, and enables scientists to develop novel methods for relating heterogeneous collections of trees.

The model calculates heating from solar radiative transfer and simulates the formation and movement of brine/melt water through the ice system. Initialization for the model is based on observations of snow topography made during the summer melt seasons of 2009, 2010, and 2012 from a location off the coast of Barrow, AK. Experiments are conducted to examine the importance of snow properties and snow and ice thickness by comparing observed and modeled pond fraction and albedo. One key process simulated by the model is the formation of frozen layers in the ice as relatively warm fresh water grid cells freeze when cooled by adjacent, cold brine-filled grid cells. These layers prevent vertical drainage and lead to flooding of melt water commonly observed at the beginning of the melt season. Flooding persists until enough heat is absorbed to melt through the frozen layer. The resulting long-term melt pond coverage is sensitive to both the spatial variability of snow cover and the minimum snow depth. For thin snow cover, initial melting results in earlier, reduced flooding with a small change in pond fraction after drainage of the melt water. Deeper snow tends to generate a delayed, larger peak pond fraction before drainage. Abstract Copyright (2015), American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved.

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.

AN - 1693711185; 25281651 AB - A commercial diet fed to a colony of inbred strain 13 guinea pigs for approximately 6 weeks was subsequently recalled for excessive levels of vitamin D. Twenty-one of 62 animals exhibited clinical signs, including anorexia, lethargy, and poor body condition. Nine affected and 4 clinically normal animals were euthanized for further evaluation, including serum chemistry, urinalysis, and gross and/or histopathology. Macroscopic findings included white discoloration in multiple organs in 8 animals, and microscopic evaluation confirmed multiorgan mineralization in tissues from 7 animals. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were elevated in 10 animals. Serum inorganic phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels were increased in all exposed animals; however, total calcium and ionized calcium levels were not significantly higher in exposed animals than in control strain 13 guinea pigs from a different institution. The data support a diagnosis of hypervitaminosis D with metastatic calcification. Following the diet recall, the remaining guinea pigs increased their food intake and regained body condition. Diagnostic testing of 8 animals euthanized approximately 3 months after returning to a normal diet demonstrated that serum parathyroid hormone remained significantly lower, and ionized calcium and ionized magnesium were significantly higher, in recovered animals compared to controls and exposed animals. These results indicate that diagnostic tests other than serum calcium are necessary for a diagnosis of hypervitaminosis D in guinea pigs. © The Author(s) 2014.

The SFR has an operating band of 300-2000 MHz, and a minimum frequency step-size of 1 MHz. The custom-made TEM horn antennas are used for the transmission of the SFR's ultra-wideband (UWB) spectrum. This paper discusses a comparison analysis between a commercially available UWB antenna and the currently used TEM horns. Gain, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), and antenna pattern measurements for each antenna are presented. The antennas were also tested for their ability to detect buried targets in a simple stepped-frequency radar system using a network analyser as a transmitter and receiver. An analysis of the gain, VSWR, beamwidth, and measured data from radar test of each antenna was performed, providing insights into each antenna's performance on the SFR's ability to detect buried targets. The information provided in this paper will be useful to the radar community in exploring developmental standoff detection solutions for military applications such as obscured target detection of obstacles and explosive hazards.

The results show that the obtained CP[at]FeS microcrystals consist of two FeS phases and contain a small amount of sulphur. In storage, FeS transforms into Fe sub(3)S sub(4), which is further oxidized by oxygen in air to release elemental sulphur. Interestingly, such transformation and oxidation are found to affect only the first discharge voltage profile with negligible impact on the specific capacity and cycling performance of a Li/FeS battery. It is shown that the cyclability of the Li/FeS battery is greatly affected by the electrolyte solvent and charging cutoff voltage. In this paper, we discuss the chemical stability and redox mechanism of the FeS cathode material, and investigate the factors that affect the cycling performance of Li/FeS batteries.

As first-year students often have difficulty with real-world tasks that may require a multitude of verb tenses and situation-specific vocabulary, these task-based activities can be designed to enhance vocabulary acquisition and to complement the current language level and classroom lesson at hand, all with the aim of initiating spontaneous speech in the target language by completing the objective of the activity. At the United States Military Academy, we use one such task-based activity in our first- through third-semester Portuguese language sequence, which we rather generically call the 'Proficiencies' (Proficiencias). A stand-alone task-based activity can be an effective tool in gaining foreign-language proficiency at even the lowest levels of classroom instruction by limiting the scope of the task to a more attainable level. It can also encourage incidental vocabulary acquisition, increased student engagement in the classroom, and greater student responsibility in their language-learning process.

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.

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.

Recent proclamations from the White House, Department of Defense, and elsewhere have called for increased resilience in our cyber capabilities. The growth of cyber threats extends well beyond the traditional areas of security managed by Information Technology software. The new cyber threats are introduced through vulnerabilities in infrastructures and industries supporting IT capital and operations. These vulnerabilities drive establishment of the area of cyber physical systems security. Cyber physical systems security integrates security into a wide range of interdependent computing systems and adjacent systems architectures. However, the concept of cyber physical system security is poorly understood, and the approach to manage vulnerabilities is fragmented. As cyber physical systems security is better understood, it will require a risk management framework that includes an integrated approach across physical, information, cognitive, and social domains to ensure resilience. The expanse of the threat environment will require a systems engineering approach to ensure wider, collaborative resiliency. Approaching cyber physical system security through the lens of resilience will enable the application of both integrated and targeted security measures and policies that ensure the continued functionality of critical services provided by our cyber infrastructure.

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.

Linkov et al.'s (Environ Sci Technol 47(18):10108-10110, 2013a; Environ Syst Decis 33(4):471-476, 2013b) 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.

While progress has been made in the rapid detection of arthropod-borne pathogens via quantitative real-time (qPCR), or even hand-held detection devices, a simple and robust maceration and nucleic acid extraction method is necessary to implement biosurveillance capabilities. In this study, a comparison of maceration techniques using five types of beads followed by nucleic acid extraction and detection were tested using two morphologically disparate arthropods, the Aedes aegypti mosquito and Xenopsylla spp. flea, to detect the zoonotic diseases dengue virus serotype-1 and Yersinia pestis. Post-maceration nucleic acid extraction was carried out using the 1-2-3 Platinum-Path-Sample-Purification (PPSP) kit followed by qPCR detection using the Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS). We found that the 5mm stainless steel beads added to the beads provided in the PPSP kit were successful in macerating the exoskeleton for both Ae. aegypti and Xenopsylla spp. Replicates in the maceration/extraction/detection protocol were increased in a stepwise fashion until a final 128 replicates were obtained. For dengue virus detection there was a 99% positivity rate and for Y. pestis detection there was a 95% positive detection rate. In the examination of both pathogens, there were no significant differences between qPCR instruments, days ran, time of day ran, or operators.

PQ0002826767 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.

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 [ 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.

Over the past few decades work has begun to understand how land use change has impacted the system and what best management practices (BMPs) are effective at mitigating sediment delivery. Seven Mile Creek, a tributary to the Minnesota River in South Central Minnesota that is impaired for sediment and nutrients, was chosen for in-depth investigation as part of a US Army Corps of Engineers study of the Minnesota River. This small, agricultural watershed (79.8 km (super 2) ) provides a case study for the role of ravine systems in the deeply incised Minnesota River basin. Our goal is to understand the sources of sediment and the erosion processes at work in the ravine tributaries of Seven Mile Creek. The physical parameters measured include soil bulk density, soil erodibility, phosphorous, carbon, and those used to calculate BEHI scores. Soil erodibility was measured in the lab using a jet tester device that fires a stream of water at an undisturbed sample collected below the O horizon and approximately 6" in diameter and 6" thick. Blaisdell K values were calculated based on the erosion rates for each soil core. The Blaisdell K values varied widely from 0.198 to 14. These K values reflect the wide range of erodibility in ravine systems. BEHI scores also reflected this variability ranging from 20.6 to 44. These scores correspond to moderate to very high erodibility ratings. The sediment eroding in the ravines appears to be primarily legacy alluvium that was deposited more than 70 years ago (based on tree ring ages) as colluvial terraces and then remobilized as the drainage basin continues to adjust to the base level drop created by Glacial River Warren, as well as to changes in flow resulting from tile drainage and climate change. Future research in the basin will focus on further constraining the sources of sediment and nutrients to the basin through hydrologic monitoring including chemical fingerprinting of water and suspended sediment. Hopefully this research will result in a better understanding of the processes that control ravine erosion and what BMPs can decrease ravine erosion. This can then provide guidance to watershed managers on how to best decrease sediment and nutrient delivery to the Minnesota River, Mississippi River, and beyond.

Throughout this period the bacteria and their toxins have defied such attempts at categorization. Below is a description of both historic and current Clostridium botulinum strain and neurotoxin information that illustrates how each new finding has significantly added to the knowledge of the botulinum neurotoxin-containing clostridia and their diversity.

However, the models often yielded delayed predictions, limiting their application as a real-time warning system. To mitigate this problem, here we combined AR-model point estimates with statistically derived prediction intervals (PIs) and assessed the performance of three new alert algorithms [AR model plus PI, median filter of AR model plus PI decisions, and an adaptation of the sequential probability ratio test (SPRT)]. Using field-study data from 22 soldiers, including five subjects who experienced hyperthermia, we assessed the alert algorithms for AR-model prediction windows from 15-30 min. Cross-validation simulations showed that, as the prediction windows increased, improvements in the algorithms' effective prediction horizons were offset by deteriorating accuracy, with a 20-min window providing a reasonable compromise. Model plus PI and SPRT yielded the largest effective prediction horizons ( greater than or equal to 18 min), but these were offset by other performance measures. If high sensitivity and a long effective prediction horizon are desired, model plus PI provides the best choice, assuming decision switches can be tolerated. In contrast, if a small number of decision switches are desired, SPRT provides the best compromise as an early warning system of impending heat illnesses.

Groups of Aedes aegypti (L.) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) were orally infected with 1.5 x 10 super(5) PFU/ml of CHIKV and 3.2 x 10 super(6) FFU/ml of DENV-2 simultaneously or separately in inverse orders and evaluated for dissemination and transmission by qRT-PCR. Simultaneous dissemination of both viruses was detected for all groups in Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus while cotransmission of CHIKV and DENV-2 only occurred at low rates after sequential but not simultaneous infection.

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.

Cultural variation, fundamental attribution error, causal attribution, and durability bias create obstacles to Western understanding of irregular war and have created a significant institutional bias in how the US military perceives its enemies- a perception only somewhat softened after a decade of irregular war. United Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is in a better position to overcome these problems through persistent engagement. In the event of major conflict, environmentally sensitized military planners will be better able to achieve military and policy objectives. Reprinted by permission of Frank Cass & Co. Ltd.

AN - 1669839914; 25707753 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. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AN - 1672091747; 25723653 AB - Hybrid nanostructures that couple plasmon and exciton resonances generate hybridized energy states, called plexcitons, which may result in unusual light-matter interactions. We report the formation of a transparency dip in the visible spectra of colloidal suspensions containing silver nanoplatelets and a cyanine dye, 1,1'-diethyl-2,2'-cyanine iodide (PIC). PIC was electrostatically adsorbed onto the surface of silver nanoplatelet core particles, forming an outer J-aggregate shell. This core-shell architecture provided a framework for coupling the plasmon resonance of the silver nanoplatelet core with the exciton resonance of the J-aggregate shell. The sizes and aspect ratios of the silver nanoplatelets were controlled to ensure the overlap of the plasmon and exciton resonances. As a measure of the plasmon-exciton coupling strength in the system, the experimentally observed transparency dips correspond to a Rabi splitting energy of 207 meV, among the highest reported for colloidal nanoparticles. The optical properties of the silver platelet-J-aggregate nanocomposites were supported numerically and analytically by the boundary-element method and temporal coupled-mode theory, respectively. Our theoretical predictions and experimental results confirm the presence of a transparency dip for the silver nanoplatelet core J-aggregate shell structures. Additionally, the numerical and analytical calculations indicate that the observed transparencies are dominated by the coupling of absorptive resonances, as opposed to the coupling of scattering resonances.

The modeling framework, introduced in the companion paper, uses a general set of conservation equations with flexibility in the choice of process parameterizations (closure relationships) and spatial architecture. This second paper specifies the model equations and their spatial approximations, describes the hydrologic and biophysical process parameterizations currently supported within the framework, and illustrates how the framework can be used in conjunction with multivariate observations to identify model improvements and future research and data needs. The case studies illustrate the use of SUMMA to select among competing modeling approaches based on both observed data and theoretical considerations. Specific examples of preferable modeling approaches include the use of physiological methods to estimate stomatal resistance, careful specification of the shape of the within-canopy and below-canopy wind profile, explicitly accounting for dust concentrations within the snowpack, and explicitly representing distributed lateral flow processes. Results also demonstrate that changes in parameter values can make as much or more difference to the model predictions than changes in the process representation. This emphasizes that improvements in model fidelity require a sagacious choice of both process parameterizations and model parameters. In conclusion, we envisage that SUMMA can facilitate ongoing model development efforts, the diagnosis and correction of model structural errors, and improved characterization of model uncertainty.

Without treatment, the mortality rate approaches 100%. Antibiotic treatment is not always effective, and alternative treatments are needed, such as monotherapy for antibiotic-resistant inhalational anthrax or as an adjunct therapy in combination with antibiotics. The Bacillus anthracis antitoxin monoclonal antibody (MAb) ETI-204 is a high-affinity chimeric deimmunized antibody which targets the anthrax toxin protective antigen (PA). In this study, a partial protection New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit model was used to evaluate the protective efficacy of the adjunct therapy with the MAb. Following detection of PA in the blood, NZW rabbits were administered either an antibiotic (doxycycline) alone or the antibiotic in conjunction with ETI-204. Survival was evaluated to compare the efficacy of the combination adjunct therapy with that of an antibiotic alone in treating inhalational anthrax. Overall, the results from this study indicate that a subtherapeutic regimen consisting of an antibiotic in combination with an anti-PA MAb results in increased survival compared to the antibiotic alone and would provide an effective therapeutic strategy against symptomatic anthrax in nonvaccinated individuals.

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. Reprinted by permission of Frank Cass & Co. Ltd.

AN - 1665121881; 25631479 AB - Invasive fungal wound infections (IFIs) are increasingly reported in trauma patients and cause considerable morbidity and mortality despite standard of care treatment in trauma centers by experienced medical personnel. Topical agents such as oil of melaleuca, also known as tea tree oil (TTO), have been proposed for adjunctive treatment of IFIs. We evaluated the activity of TTO against filamentous fungi associated with IFIs by testing 13 clinical isolates representing nine species via time-kill assay with seven concentrations of TTO (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 10%, 5%, and 1%). To ascertain the safety of topical application to wounds, cell viability assays were performed in vitro using human fibroblasts, keratinocytes, osteoblasts, and umbilical vein endothelial cells with 10 concentrations of TTO (75%, 50%, 25%, 10%, 5%, and 10-fold serial dilutions from 1 to 0.0001%) at five time points (5, 15, 30, 60, and 180 min). Compatibility of TTO with explanted porcine tissues was also assessed with eight concentrations of TTO (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 10%, 5%, 1%, and 0.1%) at the time points used for cellular assays and at 24 h. The time-kill studies showed that fungicidal activity was variable between isolates. The effect of TTO on cell viability was primarily concentration dependent with significant cytotoxicity at concentrations of ≥ 10% and ≥ 50% for cells lines and whole tissue, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that TTO possesses antifungal activity against filamentous fungi associated with IFIs; furthermore that negligible effects on whole tissues, in contrast to individual cells, were observed following exposure to TTO. Collectively, these findings indicate a potential use of TTO as topical treatment of IFIs. © The Author 2015.

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.

However, these relationships are difficult to quantify which results in only a coarsely mapped distribution (depth and extent) of permafrost in Alaska. Alaskan permafrost and ground ice act as a significant greenhouse gas sink and have tremendous impacts on local geotechnical engineering (e.g. roads, oil pipelines, polar structures). Therefore, an ultimate goal in Alaskan permafrost research is to develop accurate predictive estimates of permafrost distribution relative to climate change scenarios. Herein, I compare available digital terrain data and satellite imagery to ground-penetrating radar and galvanic resistivity surveys used to map permafrost distribution in Tanana Flats near Fairbanks and surrounding 12-Mile Lake within the drainage corridor of the Yukon River, Alaska. Results show qualitative relationships between permafrost distribution mapped with geophysical surveys and surface slope, aspect, and modeled solar radiation determined from high resolution digital terrain data. Vegetation biomass and vegetation type determined from remotely sensed data also show qualitative relationships to permafrost extent. Quantitative analysis show similar, albeit weaker, trends between permafrost distribution and each of these variables, likely because numerous variables impact permafrost at each study location. This study indicates that the combination of digital terrain, remote sensing, and geophysical data may provide a robust dataset for determining current extent of permafrost and estimating changes in extent with respect to future climate change scenarios.

One certain explanation is the action of turbidity currents, which exist in lakes of all sizes, but seismic and acoustic imaging to identify their evidence can be defeated by gaseous organics and scattering from coarse sediments. In New Hampshire however, most lakes are electrically resistive, and allow exceptional subbottom penetration of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) signals. Consequently these lakes can be surveyed with GPR to find where an ideal site might exist and the cause of anomalous deposits. I discuss select GPR profiles from Squam, Mirror, Profile and Loon Lakes, Joe English and Cherry Ponds, and Quincy Bog, the sediments beneath which include gyttja, glaciofluvial silts, sands and gravels, and till. I imaged these sediments at subbottom depths of 6 to more than 30 m and at a variety of pulse bandwidths. I interpret bright, layered horizons as sandy end members of turbidites, single horizons leading to stacked beds as evidence of turbidity currents that failed to erode or deposit, and vertical strings of diffractions as evidence of meandering turbidites. Abrupt changes in signal intensity within stacks show the historical transition from sandy to silty sediments, while the signal wavelet phase shows that these horizons represent thin layers of relatively higher density due to relatively higher mineral content. Creation and erosion of deltaic clinoforms, and of along-shore river channels are likely to have been caused by high energy turbidity currents. Shore-to-shore continuity of horizons suggests storms mainly caused these apparently episodic pulses of deposition.

Associated measurements of stratigraphy from 11 snowpits were used to help interpret the radar-detected stratigraphy. Results show that the point measurements of stratigraphy can be extrapolated over most of the accumulation zone of the icefield to map variations of mass balance with elevation [b(z)]. Radar-detected stratigraphy in the northwest and southwest branches of Taku Glacier show a b(z) gradient decreasing from the coast towards the mainland; the main trunk of Taku Glacier, which originates from the Mathes-Llewellyn ice divide, shows a similar decrease in b(z) from the divide to the equilibrium line altitude (ELA). The observations are consistent with mass-balance gradients expected in accumulation zones; the notably high mass balance in the upper catchments of the southwest and northwest branches likely result from their close proximity to the ocean. The aspect of each tributary has an influence on b(z) gradient, lowering the overall correlation between elevation and b(z) when all profiles are grouped together. Lastly, a strong reflector also occurs near the ELA and is interpreted as the firn-ice transition or previous year equilibrium line altitude. Sequential mapping of this transition and other visible unconformities between the winter accumulation and deeper firn layers may provide an annual time-series of end-of-season snowlines that can be used to infer the balance state of glaciers.

Investigations based on coring in the 1970s and 1980s concluded that Holocene gyttja-organic sediment-was unusually focused to the deeper basin and most strongly after 4000 years BP because accumulation rates between peripheral and mid basin subsequently, and most significantly, differed. Based on presumed pollen rates, decreased allochthonous or autochthonous input was discarded. The age-dated cores reached a layer of sub Holocene, 11-14 ka BP glacial silt, which generally coincides with recent varve dating for glacial retreat in this area, but went no deeper. However, ground-penetrating radar profiles I recorded over Mirror Lake go much deeper to reveal several episodes of environmental change. A delta is buried within the gyttja, and its age of final deposition approximately corresponds with the 4000 year depth of gyttja. Beneath at least these two stages of gyttja deposition is the silt. Late glacial coeval slumps beneath the silt and recorded along different profiles imply either massive fluvial input or an earthquake. The glaciofluvial clinoforms that comprise the delta lay beneath the glacial silt and may be the source of the slumps. The clinoforms are up to 11 m thick and must be older than 14 ka BP. Deeper still are layered, coarsening-upward diamicton that resides on bedrock. The source is surely the boulder till that surrounds the lake and the stratigraphy of the diamicton suggests catastrophic flow.

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.

One hypothesis invokes a change from a persistent La Nina-like state during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) to a persistent El Nino-like state during the Little Ice Age (LIA). A test of this hypothesis is to reconstruct and evaluate the spatial precipitation anomaly pattern in the Northeast Pacific across the MCA-LIA transition, because modern observations show an enhanced (weaker) coastal-inland precipitation gradient in the region during La Nina (El Nino) conditions. We therefore predict that the NE Pacific precipitation anomaly pattern will weaken across the MCA-LIA transition. For the past decade, we have been developing an ice core array in the NE Pacific that targets the two nodes of this precipitation dipole (i.e., St. Elias Range and Central Alaska), most recently (2013) with the recovery of two surface-to-bedrock 210-meter ice cores from Mt. Hunter (Denali National Park). To determine precipitation variability at the Mt. Hunter site over the past millennium, we rely on a suite of supporting geophysical data to constrain glacier geometry (including digital elevation models and bedrock topography from ground penetrating radar), velocity, boundary conditions, and rheological properties in a 3-dimensional finite element numerical model. The combined observational and model datasets will allow us to remove influences of ice flow (which causes layer thinning) and spatial variability in snow accumulation rate to estimate temporal accumulation variability from the two ice cores. Here we focus on our overall approach, and highlight results of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) conducted on the Mt. Hunter plateau during May-June 2014 with the goals of producing a high precision DEM as input for the glaciological model and evaluating surface elevation change through time.

Ecotones in interior Alaska have unique vegetative cover and heterogeneous terrains that are underlain by sporadic discontinuous permafrost. Permafrost thaw is expected to cause ecological consequences; and because vegetation and local soil microflora are tightly coupled, changes to this system offer a source of significant impacts on surface hydrology and soil strength. The objective of this study was to investigate potential relationships between vegetative vigor and soil biochemistry in permafrost-affected areas for use in the development of standoff sensors for mapping the subsurface composition of permafrost terrains and to help in predicting how and where thawing permafrost will alter vegetation and soil ecology. Our results showed that redox chemistry is an important driver of ecosystem dynamics, and we identified relationships between fluorescence and reducing conditions at these transects. While it is well known that redoxymorphic conditions help drive plant composition in wetlands, it is less apparent how permafrost thaw influences this dynamic.

Human subject volunteers completed an anonymous, written survey consisting of 20 questions. The survey included feedback on crewmember demographics, flight experience, history of back pain, approaches to managing back pain, and possible non-operational confounders of back pain. Correlations among these factors were then calculated, in an effort to discern potential key associations. Also, subjects were asked to provide narrative feedback on their perceptions of aircraft seating and quality of cockpit ergonomics. The incidence of back pain was found to be associated with crewmember perceptions of lumbar support quality, seating material, and wearing combat gear. Moreover, approximately 90% of respondents with experience flying in UH-60, AH-64, and/or CH-47 aircraft indicated that their occupational duties likely contributed to back pain.

Humans possess three separate photopigments displaying unique spectral sensitivities. All share the same base chromophore (11-cis-retinal), but differ in their associated/covalently-linked heptahelical transmembrane protein or "opsin." This is a basic science review of the underlying mechanisms that may emerge when attempting to establish a standardized clinical screening program. Current visual performance viewing of LED-based flat panel and heads-up displays can be unpredictable, potentially endangering the aircraft, pilot and crew. Color sensitivity can be accurately measured against a standardized wavelength-based continuum. The purpose of the reported research is to identify a standardized color vision testing procedure which could predictably identify all performance characteristics. The apparent simplicity of the standardized applied clinical color vision assessments belies the complexity of the underlying chromophore specialization. The data from the preceding panel presentations will be summarized, highlighting each of their apparent methodological difficulties.

Two problematic MS assertions were evaluated in this presentation. These assertions were evaluated via two narrative literature reviews using Google Scholar, PubMed, Defense Technical Information Center, and other sources to be discussed. Regarding Assertion #1, a causal link from vection to MS has not yet been confirmed, and only 30% (3/10) of the identified studies observed a significant correlation between the two. Regarding Assertion #2, a greater number of studies have been identified than in any other review. Adding one more relevant study in preparation by Brill would bring the estimate to 50.9% (29/57).

AsOs are highly specialized vision experts who offer expertise in military vision standards, aviation personnel selection and assessment, aeromedical training, aviation safety, human visual performance and visual systems integration. DISCUSSION: To meet the challenges of modern naval aviation, AsOs encompass a few key focus areas in Navy medicine: 1) The advent of enhanced color displays, such as in F-35, demands the utilization of more sensitive color vision screening tests. New computerized color vision tests have been tested and evaluated to extend and improve upon current capabilities. Fielding of these more reliable and sensitive tests will improve operational performance and enhance safety. 2) Navy refractive eye surgery provides critical visual advantages to the U.S. Warfighter via world-class surgical treatments and vision research; however, long-term outcomes need to be systematically evaluated and newer surgical technologies/procedures require additional validation for military personnel. 3) Given the increased incidence of lethal or non-lethal laser exposure incidents in aviation and maritime operations, there is a critical need for a night time cockpit/instrumental compatible laser eye protection countermeasures to mitigate these laser threats. 4) Spatial disorientation remains the number one Aeromedical causal factor in Class A mishaps. Motion-based mitigation strategies are needed. 5) Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) require investigation in performance-based vision standards for UAS operators and address issues such as stress, fatigue and visual performance degradation. And, 6) AsOs investigate and assess U.S. Navy vision readiness and develop operational vision requirement for deployed personnel.

It was predicted that participants would make leftward (counter-clockwise; CCW) locomotion errors after viewing, while stationary, a vection-inducing visual stimulus of a clockwise (CW) rotating dot pattern. Nineteen participants performed 45 s walk-in-place task trials before and after viewing a CW rotating visual stimulus known to induce CCW CV. Participants viewed the stimulus while seated and performed the task, while blinded, inside an optokinetic drum. Movement measures from four pre-CV exposure trials for each participant were averaged to establish a baseline to examine changes in five post-CV exposure trials. Repeated measures ANOVAs revealed significant changes from baseline in x-axis (i.e., left/right), y-axis (i.e., forward/backward), and angular (i.e., rotation) movement. Net movement (i.e., radial distance) did not significantly change. X-axis and angular movements were towards the left.

We considered seven tactile display strategies that have been prototyped to tell the user when a hazard is approaching or being approached: 1) a vibration cue that indicates the presence of the hazard; 2) vehicle, head, or torso-based vibrations that also cue gross hazard direction (left/right). All seven display strategies have advantages and disadvantages. Strategies #1 and 2 are the simplest but too primitive for many applications. Strategies #2 and 5, when head-based, are highly salient but provide a changing frame of reference. Displays #3 and 4 are the most mature and well-studied; studies show that transverse rumble strips (#3) that increase rumble beat speed as a stoplight approaches and the Tactile Situation Awareness System (#4) should decrease accidents by 39% and 24%, respectively.

On July 1, 2015 the US Army School of Aviation Medicine at Ft Rucker, Alabama will matriculate its inaugural class into the Army's first Aerospace Medicine Program. Already home to the largest fleet of military aircraft and aviators in the world, Ft Rucker will now unite Army initial and advanced flight training with a permanent and accredited Aerospace Medicine Graduate Medical Education (GME) program. The philosophical and programmatic marriage of the existing Occupational Medicine Residency with the new Aerospace Medicine Residency ensures new Army Aeromedical Specialists are capable of providing quality comprehensive primary, preventive and deployment health care to the Army Aviation enterprise. From conception and approval through resourcing and accreditation, birthing a new residency takes considerable time and effort. Changing practices, advancing technology and evolving risk assessments call for a nimble and responsive Aerospace Medical educational paradigm.

THE RISKS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION AND VERTEBRAL ARTERY DISSECTION AN - 1701489143; PQ0001669003 AB - Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) is a common treatment for neck and back pain and generally considered to be safe. SMT has a small risk of severe complications such as vertebral artery dissection. The risks versus benefits will be outlined utilizing the latest literature. A 39 year old healthy U.S. Army Aviator presented to primary care complaining of a severe headache for three days, tingling in right thumb, index, and middle fingers. He was initially treated for the headache and released however after two days of worsening symptoms, returned and was diagnosed with a right cerebellar infarction via MRI. The aviator was released from Neurology three months after dissection to return to full duties with Flight Surgeon determining aviation duties. The follow up MRI reported encephalomalcia of the right cerebellum without evidence of residual vertebral artery dissection. The aviator returned to full flight status eleven months after dissection and has remained symptom free with no long term complications.

CVD and CVN determination was initially assessed with the Oculus anomaloscope. Each test was administered monocularly, and according to the test protocol. The main outcome measures were tests' sensitivity, specificity and administration time. All PIP tests had a sensitivity/specificity greater than 0.80 in each eye, except the Hardy-Rand-Rittler (HRR) specificity (mean = 0.66). The FALANT had greater than 0.80 sensitivity and specificity in both one- and three-test administration. Finally, the CCT administration time was significantly faster than the CAD test (6 min vs. 14 min; p<0.001), but significantly slower than the PIP tests (6 min vs. 3 min; p<0.001).

Demographic characteristics of ANSUR II pilots are compared against DMDC census data for Army pilots, and suitable subject weights calculated to match the age and race/ethnicity distributions. U.S. Army male pilots measured in 2012 (n=977) are not significantly different in stature and sitting height than male pilots measured in 1988 (n=447). Male pilots in 2012 are, however, 8.3kg heavier on average (p<.0000), and their trunk circumferences are significantly larger than in 1988: Chest Circumference is 72.9 mm larger, Waist Circumference is 76.0 mm larger, and Buttock Circumference is 41.8 mm larger on average (P<.0000 for all three circumferences).

During a planned crash test of a CH-46 helicopter, space was provided to install three litters stacked above each other with wall stanchions and ceiling hanging straps. The upper and lower litters were loaded with non-instrumented test dummies to produce representative dynamic loads. The center litter was loaded with an anthropometric test device (ATD), instrumented to collect the forces, moments, and accelerations. Additional accelerometers were installed to collect dynamic loads acting on the four support hooks of the middle litter. Instrumented ATD data is being assessed against established injury assessment reference values for automotive testing. Review of the on-board video revealed the upper test dummy was partially ejected off the litter prior to impact. All litters collapsed during the event and separated from their support hooks.

The prediction models utilized in the software were developed at the USARIEM using inputs of target altitude, time at altitude, gender, work rate, and body mass index. User needs and preferences were also solicited to design the graphical user interfaces. The software application functions on an Android-based mobile device per U.S. Army Nett Warrior program specifications. The software application is organized into three modules. The AMS module provides an estimate of the prevalence and severity of AMS as a function of time at the target altitude. The work performance module provides an estimate of the duration to complete a physical task at the target altitude relative to sea level performance.

Since these protective lenses will be worn at all times in theatre, their effect on the visual performance of volunteers in both bright and dim environments was evaluated. Five different conditions were evaluated. (1) No eyewear, (2) Approved Protective Eye ware List (APEL) Clear eyewear, (3) APEL Sun eyewear, (4) APEL Step Filter eyewear, and (5) Electro-optical eyewear. For each spectacle condition, visual acuity and precision marksmanship were measured under bright conditions (50.7 Foot-Lamberts [FL]). Visual acuity and marksmanship results were not significantly different between any of the five conditions. The preference ratings show that the Step Filter and Electronic eyewear were preferred over no eyewear, APEL Clear eyewear, and APEL Sun eyewear.

Sixty-nine aircrew members (65 rotary and 2 fixed wing pilots, and 2 non-pilots) wore the AFF-OP eyewear during normal operational duties over a 3-month period and completed a Likert scale survey (1=much better, 2=slight better, 3=SAME, 4=slightly worse, 5=much worse) at 1,6, and 12-week intervals. Fourteen questions were asked in the survey with the main outcome measure being frame preference. The AFF-OP eyewear was significantly more preferred than the current HGU-4/P (p<0.001). The three highest subjective reasons for AFF-OP preference were: 1) Comfort around ears without helmet or headset (mean= 1.75 + or - 0.82); 2) Comfort around ears with helmet or headset (mean= 1.90 + or - 1.04); 3) Effect on ear cup seal (mean= 1.94 + or - 0. 80).

With the Department of Defense (DoD) using over two million high-explosive (HE) munitions per year with a significant fraction as UXO, reducing costly range remediation and environmental restoration efforts will offer significant savings. The developed Seismic Acoustic Impact Monitoring Assessment (SAIMA) system is not designed for past ranges, but as a complementary technology to detect, locate within two meters, and classify UXO in near real-time to aid existing cleanup technologies. Feasibility and descriptions of system components have been previously provided (VanDeMark et al., 2009, 2010, 2013). The current system is composed of multiple buried seismic arrays encircling a mortar or artillery impact area, communications from the arrays to a central processing station, and a processing unit that employs an algorithm suite based in the seismology and statistical analysis disciplines to detect, locate, and classify the HE or UXO impact. Recent deployments of the SAIMA system have demonstrated hardware maturity and algorithm refinements to nearly enable the goal of locations within two meters. A field deployment at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, in June 2012 demonstrated acoustic locations at a large range (QTSI, 2012). Subsequent systems tests with five arrays using a synthetic UXO source (kinetic source only; no acoustic phases) on a small field (80 m by 80 m) resolved locations within 0.5 m of ground truth with coverage ellipses at 0.1 m (super 2) (time and azimuth). On a small mortar field, approximately 365 m by 480 m, simulated UXO (inert rounds) were located within an average mislocation distance of 4.1 m and confidence ellipses on the order of 5.8 m by 3.8 m. Scheduled field testing in the near future will validate the system.

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.

However, the unique properties of nanomaterials and uncertainty regarding applicable test methods have led to a lack of consensus regarding the collection and evaluation of data related to hazard and exposure potentials. Often, overly conservative approaches to characterization and data collection result in prolonged, unfocused, or irrelevant testing, which increases costs and delays deployment. In this paper, we provide a novel testing guidance framework for determining whether a nanotechnology has the potential to release material with nano-specific parameters that pose a risk to humans or the environment. The framework considers methods to categorize nanotechnologies by their structure and within their relevant-use scenarios to inform testing in a time- and resource-limited reality. Based on the precedent of dredged sediment testing, a five-tiered approach is proposed in which opportunities are presented to conclude testing once sufficient risk-related information has been collected, or that the technology in question does not require nano-specific scrutiny. A series of screening stages are suggested, covering relevant aspects including size, surface area, distribution, unique behaviors, and release potential. The tiered, adaptive guidance approach allows users to concentrate on collecting the most relevant data, thus accelerating technology deployment while minimizing risk.

Thus, the importance of monitoring air for microbial, toxic, or allergic content is recognized in clinical, occupational, and biodefense arenas. However, accurate monitoring of potentially contaminated environments can be hampered by selection of aerosol samplers with inadequate performance for the intended task. In this study, 29 aerosol samplers were evaluated based on their respective air flow, size, weight, power consumption, and efficiency in sampling particles in the respirable range. The resulting data demonstrates that sampling air flow and efficiency vary widely, and cannot be predicted from the physical characteristics of air samplers, and hence, that proper selection of air samplers should be more involved than shopping for a device based on the limited characteristics that are published by the manufacturers. The findings are summarized in an approach to rationally select bioaerosol samplers for use in infection control and environmental biomonitoring. The presented data demonstrates that inadequate selection of air samplers could result in a failure to collect particles of interest and thus, underestimate the risk and provide a false sense of security in contaminated health care settings and environments contaminated with infectious or toxic aerosols.

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.

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.

These resuspended sediments are an often cited concern used to justify restrictions applied to dredging schedules in many areas of the USA. One example of a temporal restriction, commonly referred to as an environmental window, involves dredging schedules in the James River, Virginia, because of potential impacts on the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica Gmelin). Yet, effects' data are lacking to understand the effects of suspended sediments to C. virginica. To address this data gap, we performed a laboratory study mimicking sediment resuspension during annual dredging operations in the James River. Field-collected oysters were exposed for 7 days under flow-through conditions to 0, 100, 250, and 500-mg/L total suspended solids (TSS) in a unique exposure system where oyster movements could be electronically monitored. Endpoints analyzed were survival, percent of time open, total number of shell movements, weight change, and condition index. Data indicated no significant effects of suspended sediment on these endpoints after 7 days of exposure. Weight change in oysters attached vertically to monitor their movements was significantly less than in oysters not monitored in every treatment. No significant differences in condition index, an indicator of oyster growth sensitive to environmental pollutants, were observed among treatments measured 30 days postexposure. Correlations performed for each treatment among monitored oyster endpoints found significant negative associations between number of movements and percent open in the 100, 250, and 500-mg/L TSS treatments and in all treatments combined. These data will help reduce the uncertainty surrounding the effects of suspended sediments on C. virginica.

AN - 1652456245; 25489752 AB - The whole genomes for six botulinum neurotoxin-producing clostridial strains were sequenced to provide references for under-represented toxin types, bivalent strains or unusual toxin complexes associated with a bont gene. The strains include three Clostridium botulinum Group I strains (CDC 297, CDC 1436, and Prevot 594), a Group II C. botulinum strain (Eklund 202F), a Group IV Clostridium argentinense strain (CDC 2741), and a Group V Clostridium baratii strain (Sullivan). Comparisons of the Group I genomic sequences revealed close relationships and conservation of toxin gene locations with previously published Group I C. botulinum genomes. The bont/F6 gene of strain Eklund 202F was determined to be a chimeric toxin gene composed of bont/F1 and bont/F2. The serotype G strain CDC 2741 remained unfinished in 20 contigs with the bont/G located within a 1.15Mb contig, indicating a possible chromosomal location for this toxin gene. Within the genome of C. baratii Sullivan strain, direct repeats of IS1182 insertion sequence (IS) elements were identified flanking the bont/F7 toxin complex that may be the mechanism of bont insertion into C. baratii. Highlights of the six strains are described and release of their genomic sequences will allow further study of unusual neurotoxin-producing clostridial strains. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AN - 1652415789; 25407157 AB - 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. 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). 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). De-intensification of induction therapy and enhanced supportive care guidelines significantly decreased induction mortality and sterile site infections, without decreasing complete remission rates. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AN - 1641857834; 25451328 AB - In this study, we employed site-directed mutagenesis to understand the role of amino acids in the gorge in oxime-induced reactivation of nerve agent-inhibited human (Hu) acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents studied included GA (tabun), GB (sarin), GF (cyclosarin), VX, and VR. The kinetics of reactivation were examined using both the mono-pyridinium oxime 2-PAM and bis-pyridinium oximes MMB4, HI-6, and HLö-7. The second-order reactivation rate constants were used to compare reactivation of nerve agent-inhibited wild-type (WT) and mutant enzymes. Residues including Y72, Y124 and W286 were found to play important roles in reactivation by bis-pyridinium, but not by mono-pyridinium oximes. Residue Y124 also was found to play a key role in reactivation by HI-6 and HLö-7, while E202 was important for reactivation by all oximes. Residue substitutions of F295 by Leu and Y337 by Ala showed enhanced reactivation by bis-pyridinium oximes MMB4, HI-6, and HLö-7, possibly by providing more accessibility of the OP moiety associated at the active-site serine to the oxime. These results are similar to those observed previously with bovine AChE and demonstrate that there is significant similarity between human and bovine AChEs with regard to oxime reactivation.

As such, up to 49,000 people will die each year from flu-related causes, which makes influenza (along with pneumonia) the eighth leading cause of death in American men.

Perovskite, stishovite, and residual melt were synthesized from natural Bamble enstatite samples (Mg/(Fe + Mg) = 0.89 and 0.93; Al (sub 2) O (sub 3) < 0.1 wt% with 35 and 2065 ppm weight H (sub 2) O, respectively) in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell at 1600-2000 K and 25-65 GPa. Combined Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and ex situ transmission electron microscopy analysis demonstrates little difference in the resulting perovskite as a function of initial water content. Four distinct OH vibrational stretching bands are evident upon cooling below 100 K (3576, 3378, 3274, and 3078 cm (super -1) ), suggesting four potential bonding sites for OH in perovskite with a maximum water content of 220 ppm weight H (sub 2) O, and likely no more than 10 ppm weight H (sub 2) O. Complementary, Fe-free, first-principles calculations predict multiple potential bonding sites for hydrogen in perovskite, each with significant solution enthalpy (0.2 eV/defect). We calculate that perovskite can dissolve less than 37 ppm weight H (sub 2) O (400 ppm H/Si) at the top of the lower mantle, decreasing to 31 ppm weight H (sub 2) O (340 ppm H/Si) at 125 GPa and 3000 K in the absence of a melt or fluid phase. We propose that these results resolve a long-standing debate of the perovskite melting curve and explain the order-of-magnitude increase in viscosity from upper to lower mantle.

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.

Based on the availability of data, three sites were chosen for the study: Cheorwon, South Korea; Laboue, Lebanon; and Asham, Nigeria. The simulated SMAP satellite data are representative of May conditions. For all three regions, this is best represented by the "average" soil moisture used in the current climatology approach. The cumulative distribution frequency of the two soil moisture sources indicates good agreement at Asham, Nigeria; mixed agreement at Cheorwon, South Korea; and no agreement at Laboue, Lebanon. Soil strengths and resulting vehicle speeds for a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) M1097 were calculated based on the Harmonized World Soil Database soil types used by the two soil moisture sources, as well as with a finer-resolution National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency product. Better agreement was found in soil strengths using the finer-resolution soil product. Finally, fairly large differences in soil moisture become muted in the speed calculations even when all factors except soil strength, slope, and vehicle performance are neglected. It is expected that the 0.04 volumetric uncertainty in the final SMAP L3 soil moisture product will have the greatest effect at low vehicle speeds. Field measurements of soil moisture and strength as well as soil type are needed to verify the results.

KTR9 AN - 1654678651; 21339122 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.

AN - 1629587622; 25204221 AB - Exposure to nerve agents can cause brain damage due to prolonged seizure activity, producing long-term behavioral deficits. We have previously shown that LY293558, a GluK1/AMPA receptor antagonist, is a very effective anticonvulsant and neuroprotectant against nerve agent exposure. In the present study, we examined whether the protection against nerve agent-induced seizures and neuropathology conferred by LY293558 translates into protection against pathophysiological alterations in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) and the development of anxiety, which is the most prevalent behavioral deficit resulting from exposure. LY293558 (15 mg/kg) was administered to rats, along with atropine and HI-6, at 20 min after exposure to soman (1.2 × LD50). At 24 h, 7 days, and 30 days after exposure, soman-exposed rats who did not receive LY293558 had reduced but prolonged evoked field potentials in the BLA, as well as increased paired-pulse ratio, suggesting neuronal damage and impaired synaptic inhibition; rats who received LY293558 did not differ from controls in these parameters. Long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission was impaired at 7 days after exposure in the soman-exposed rats who did not receive anticonvulsant treatment, but not in the LY293558-treated rats. Anxiety-like behavior assessed by the open field and acoustic startle response tests was increased in the soman-exposed rats at 30 and 90 days after exposure, while rats treated with LY293558 did not differ from controls. Along with our previous findings, the present data demonstrate the remarkable efficacy of LY293558 in counteracting nerve agent-induced seizures, neuropathology, pathophysiological alterations in the BLA, and anxiety-related behavioral deficits.

AN - 1645229963; 25461321 AB - Utilizing our previously reported in silico pharmacophore model for reactivation efficacy of oximes, we present here a discovery of twelve new non-oxime reactivators of diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP)-inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) obtained through virtual screening of an in-house compound database. Rate constant (kr) efficacy values of the non-oximes were found to be within ten-fold of pralidoxime (2-PAM) in an in vitro DFP inhibited eel AChE assay and one of them showed in vivo efficacy comparable to 2-PAM against brain symptoms for DFP induced neuropathology in guinea pigs. Short listing of the identified compounds were performed on the basis of in silico evaluations for favorable blood brain barrier penetrability, octanol-water partition (Clog P), toxicity (rat oral LD50) and binding affinity to the active site of the crystal structure of a OP- inhibited AChE.

Here we report geophysical results that indicate that Lake Vida, one of the largest lakes in the region, is nearly frozen and underlain by widespread cryoconcentrated brine. A ground penetrating radar survey profiled 20 m into lake ice and facilitated bathymetric mapping of the upper lake basin. An airborne transient electromagnetic survey revealed a low-resistivity zone 30-100 m beneath the lake surface. Based on previous knowledge of brine chemistry and local geology, we interpret this zone to be a confined aquifer situated in sediments with a porosity of 23-42%. Discovery of this aquifer suggests that subsurface liquid water may be more pervasive in regions of continuous permafrost than previously thought and may represent an extensive habitat for microbial populations.

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-0 Scaphirhynchus spp. (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.

Wolf Creek Dam on the Cumberland River in southern Kentucky has become well known for karst related seepage issues underneath the embankment section, and yet has had little to no seepage issues associated with the concrete masonry portion of the dam. Post-construction efforts to control seepage underneath the embankment began in 1967 and 1968. Emergency grouting commenced and continued through 1970. Between 1975 and 1979 a more permanent solution of a concrete diaphragm cut-off wall was constructed through the centerline of the left portion of the embankment section down to competent bedrock. The wall interrupted the progression of foundation erosion, but post construction monitoring, instrumentation readings, and persistent wet areas downstream showed that seepage paths under or around the wall continued. A second cut-off wall upstream of the first was constructed between 2007 and 2013, extending nearly the entire length of the embankment and up to 75 ft (22.9 m) deeper than the original wall. Cost of the second wall and other concurrent rehabilitation efforts reached nearly JF - Proceedings - Multidisciplinary Conference on Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karsts AU - Robison, David M AU - Veni, George AU - Barr, Kelton AU - LaMoreaux, Jim Y1 - 2015 PY - 2015 DA - 2015 SP - 595 EP - 604 PB - National Cave and Karst Research Institute, [varies] VL - 14 KW - United States KW - limestone KW - embankments KW - Catheys Limestone Formation KW - engineering properties KW - excavations KW - seepage KW - remediation KW - dredging KW - foundations KW - sedimentary rocks KW - dams KW - construction KW - construction materials KW - bedrock KW - soil mechanics KW - Cumberland River KW - abutments KW - southern Kentucky KW - spillways KW - concrete KW - history KW - soil-structure interface KW - safety KW - Wolf Creek Dam KW - Kentucky KW - erodibility KW - carbonate rocks KW - 30:Engineering geology UR - http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/1861077899?accountid=14244 L2 - http://vb3lk7eb4t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQ%3Ageorefinprocess&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Proceedings+-+Multidisciplinary+Conference+on+Sinkholes+and+the+Engineering+and+Environmental+Impacts+of+Karsts&rft.atitle=Successful+foundation+preparations+in+karst+bedrock+of+the+masonry+section+of+Wolf+Creek+Dam&rft.au=Robison%2C+David+M%3BVeni%2C+George%3BBarr%2C+Kelton%3BLaMoreaux%2C+Jim&rft.aulast=Robison&rft.aufirst=David&rft.date=2015-01-01&rft.volume=14&rft.issue=&rft.spage=595&rft.isbn=&rft.btitle=&rft.title=Proceedings+-+Multidisciplinary+Conference+on+Sinkholes+and+the+Engineering+and+Environmental+Impacts+of+Karsts&rft.issn=&rft_id=info:doi/10.5038%2F9780991000951.1067 L2 - http://www.karstportal.org/taxonomy/term/10494 LA - English DB - GeoRef N1 - Conference title - Fourteenth multidisciplinary conference on Sinkholes and the engineering and environmental impacts of karst N1 - Copyright - GeoRef in Process, Copyright 2017, American Geosciences Institute.

The results of these studies have provided evidence of both relatively rapid advective transport via conduits and an extreme capacity for dye storage and retardation. The tracer results, coupled with other subsurface investigation data, are used to develop a conceptual model for groundwater movement through this karst aquifer in the Frederick Valley of Maryland, as well as identify implications for remediation. Three fluorescent tracer dyes used in the initial study were detected in several background monitoring locations established for the second study conducted 18 years later; demonstrating the persistence of these dyes in the aquifer. One of these dyes was not detected during the original study, providing useful information regarding flow and transport in the aquifer. At some of these sampling locations, at least one of the dyes was degraded, and would have gone undetected without the use of activated carbon samplers. Lastly, even though relatively rapid first detections occurred during both studies (as compared to non-karst groundwater systems) the majority of injected dye mass remained in the aquifer after the studies were completed. This suggests that the aquifer has a large capacity to store contaminants and that low levels of contaminants can be expected to persist in groundwater discharged from springs for a long period of time.

During the subsurface investigation a seven foot air-filled void was encountered in the bedrock within the building footprint. Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) was conducted in an attempt to determine the lateral extent of the encountered void and to establish the general prevalence of karst features at the site. Due to uncertainty in the subsurface conditions, a rock treatment and soil modification program was developed which consisted of a series of targeted exploratory grout holes advanced in 126 locations in the structural areas of the building footprint. The intent of the program was not to prevent the development of a soil dropout, but to improve the foundation support of the structure so that the facility would perform acceptably if a future soil dropout were to occur during the design life of the facility. This was achieved by targeting each footing with 3 exploratory grout holes. The intent of each grout injection was 1) to identify the top of rock elevation, 2) determine if a karst feature existed, 3) cap the karst bedrock below the footing and treat defects in the rock, and 4) provide localized improvement of soft soils through the use of low mobility grout columns under each footing. Drilling refusal elevations were obtained for every grout hole and were assumed to represent the top of bedrock. Each exploratory hole was closely monitored for pressure and volume in 0.61 meter (2-foot) stages. Zones where the bedrock had lower elevations or took excessive grout at low pressures were targeted with additional tertiary holes. The tertiary holes were verified with additional SPT sampling. Documented ground improvement was achieved, evident by increased SPT blow counts ranging between 25 to 50+ post treatment. Based on results from this program, lower grouting pressures could have been utilized as part of the refusal criteria to successfully identify and treat karst features.

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.

Runway surface grooving is often required to provide high skid resistance for aircraft braking, particularly in wet conditions where hydroplaning must be minimized. An area of potential concern with the use of WMA on the surface of airfield runway pavements is the material response to surface grooving. If the asphalt binder in WMA is softer than that of comparable HMA because of reduced binder aging during production and placement, the WMA mixture may be more likely to experience groove closure or collapse. This condition could result in hydroplaning issues because of the reduction in water discharge and also in chipping of aggregate from the groove edges, which could increase the potential for foreign object damage. A full-scale experiment was designed to evaluate two pavement curing conditions and three WMA mixtures. Traffic was applied to the pavements with an F-15 load cart, and testing occurred during the summer of 2013. The performance of WMA, measured as the percentage of groove closure, was compared with that of comparative HMA. It was concluded that WMA could perform as well as HMA under different pavement curing conditions. This result indicates that WMA runway surface pavement that is properly cured before grooving should not exhibit groove closure under normal aircraft traffic conditions.

Friction factors are based on traction coefficients for low-volume roads provided in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (FS) Road Preconstruction Handbook and are also referenced by the AASHTO Guidelines for Geometric Design of Very Low-Volume Local Roads (ADT < or =400). These traction values are based on measurements from the 1950s to the 1970s. However, tire design, construction, and even test methods have changed considerably since then. To evaluate the validity of the design coefficients, and to determine replacement values or ranges, a literature search, data mining, and a limited test program were conducted by the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory and FS. This paper presents existing FS handbook values and design guidelines, updated values collected from the literature, and new measurements taken on gravel and snow-covered roads. For longitudinal friction-traction, updated values are similar to the FS handbook values, except for asphalt and gravel, which has presented friction values up to 30% and 100% higher, respectively. Lateral traction shows even higher values for gravel and snow, being 2 to 2.5 times as high as the handbook's median values. Fortunately, these differences err on the side of safety. Future evaluations should consider the impact of the higher values on road design, operations, and economics to see whether a change is warranted. Testing of additional surfaces is recommended, as are measurements that use a wider range of tires and vehicles.

Scientists and engineers working in the nuclear industry have a vested interest in this issue, as do politicians, government officials, and members of the armed forces. The academic community can also contribute to nuclear non-proliferation efforts by conducting research and training experts in the fields of radiochemistry, nuclear forensics, and nuclear security. The Radiochemistry Center of Excellence (RCOE), established at the University of Tennessee (UT) and funded by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), is training students and developing new analysis techniques to improve the timeliness of nuclear forensics results. To support these efforts UT has developed and patented methods for creating surrogate nuclear melt glass for forensic analysis [1]. Most recently, researchers at UT have designed an analytical method for developing urban matrix formulations to be used in the synthesis of urban nuclear melt glass surrogates [2]. The work presented here focuses on modeling efforts designed to predict and compare activation products found in urban nuclear melt glass produced by notional events in two different metropolitan areas within the United States.

The site was designated a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) property, administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, after trichloroethylene (TCE) concentrations exceeding the USEPA maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 5 mu g/L were detected in two onsite groundwater supply wells and three neighboring residential bedrock wells. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize bedrock fractures, specifically their orientation and density, in the vicinity of the NIKE PR-79 Site, using integrated remote sensing based fracture trace analysis, outcrop field mapping and fracture trace verification, and geophysical borehole methods. Fracture orientation and fracture density are critical parameters to understanding the three-dimensional distribution of fractures in the subsurface, and ultimately, to determining the movement of groundwater in the area. Results of the three methods determined that fractures trend from northwest (NW) to northeast (NE) and are steeply dipping (>60 degrees ) towards the east. Average fracture density (regardless of orientation) was similar between the outcrop study (0.3 ft-1) and the borehole study (0.8 ft-1). Likewise, fracture spacing was similar in the outcrop study (3.3 ft/fracture) as in the borehole study (1.3 ft/fracture). The difference in fracture density and spacing was attributed to lithological differences in the vicinity of NIKE PR-79 Site. Results of the remotely sensed fracture trace study indicated that the area mapped as fine-grained quartz diorite was more densely fractured (45.4 fracture traces/mi (super 2) ) than the areas mapped as Ponaganset Gneiss and South Foster Migmatite, which were similarly fractured (34.8 and 31.0 fracture traces/mi (super 2) , respectively). Further investigation of bedrock wells including re-interpretation of lithology from Optical Televiewer and supporting logs is necessary to determine the fracture density on a lithological basis and estimate transmissive fracture trends below grade. Results from this study improve the overall conceptual site model of the NIKE PR-79 Site and will be used to construct a representative groundwater and surface water monitoring network.

Rock Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River, spans 33 miles originating in the agricultural and suburban areas of Maryland (MD) and continuing through the more urbanized District of Columbia (D.C.), ultimately running into the Chesapeake Bay. Downstream, the land use becomes increasingly more urbanized and the sewer and stormwater systems transition from separate (MD) to combined (D.C). Known contaminants associated with sewer and stormwater discharges as well as stormwater runoff which traverse vegetated and impervious surfaces, include nitrate, phosphate, and Escherichia coli (E. coli).The purpose of this study is to investigate environmental and anthropogenic factors that impact surface water quality in the Rock Creek watershed. Water quality samples were collected weekly from 15 sites along Rock Creek for approximately four months. The samples were analyzed for physical and chemical parameters including: turbidity, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Additionally, concentrations of E. coli and total coliforms were quantitatively assessed. Additional samples were collected following significant rain events, in order to assess the impact of precipitation events on the water quality. Spatial and temporal data analysis using geographic information systems software determined that water quality variation is not uniform along the creek. The most probable factors responsible for the variation in the study area are agricultural runoff, sewer type and condition, and impervious surface coverage. These data may ultimately assist decision makers in understanding the relationship between water quality of Rock Creek, the factors studied, and the potential health hazards resulting from precipitation events and sewer/stormwater discharges.

The yellow indication is used to inform drivers of an upcoming change in the status of the traffic signal. Yellow interval durations are currently calculated to provide dilemma zone protection for passenger cars. Because of differences in vehicle characteristics and driver characteristics, heavy trucks such as tractor trailers behave differently at the onset of a yellow indication. This paper characterizes the difference in driver behavior between truck and light-duty vehicles at the onset of the yellow indication and then revises the yellow timing procedures to address the truck requirements. A data set of 910 stop-go records was collected through the use of a truck driving simulator located at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. From the data collected, statistical models were created to model driver perception-reaction times and deceleration levels with a consideration of driver attributes and the time to the intersection at the onset of the yellow indication. The data collected, along with the statistical models developed, were compared with the data collected and the statistical models created by the same research organization in a study of passenger car drivers. Last, a Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to develop appropriate yellow indication timings to provide adequate dilemma zone protection for trucks.

This is a result of firing excercises that use soil berms as backstops. Fragments of bullets are susceptible to weathering processes in soil environments, leading to the release of metal(loid) species into solution. Pb and Sb are contaminants of interest because they primarily constitute small arms rounds. Pb and Sb are both toxic, and Sb is also a suspected carcinogen. The geochemistry of Pb in soils has been the subject of numerous studies, while less is known about the environmental behavior of Sb. Understanding both Pb and Sb speciation and mobility is essential for identifying the potential toxicity of a range soil and for remediating a given site. As a result, stabilization of metal contaminants is of interest, particularly, what types of substrates have potential to promote the retention of Pb and Sb from migrating off-site. Treating soils with both cationic (Pb) and oxyanionic (Sb) components can be difficult due to enhanced mobility of Sb at circumneutral/high pHs and enhanced mobility of Pb at low pHs. Traditional treatments, such as phosphate or carbonate would not be appropriate, however, iron (Fe) has been shown to be a potentially effective sorbent. In the present study, we fired identical bullets in a controlled event into newly constructed berms made from four well charaterized soils. Over the past 4 years, we have been continuously monitoring both the berm soil and porewater. In addition, we designed and monitored parallel laboratory soil columns to study Pb and Sb behavior in a more controlled environment. In the past year, we added Fe(II) chloride and nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI), in a dispersion, to the four types of soil in both the laboratory columns and the shooting range berms in order to study the effects Fe has on metal attenuation. The field berms remain open to the environment and the columns were flushed with simulated rainwater and monitored. We found significant attenuation of Sb by Fe in certain systems, whereas Pb initially became more mobilized. The results from this study are essential for understanding the potential for off-site migration, as well as determining the ultimate bioavailability and toxicity of Pb and Sb in shooting ranges.

AN - 1765871406; 2016-014637 AB - It is widely recognized that sediment availability plays a critical role in coastal evolution. At large time and space scales, it governs the volume of sediment available for barrier island formation. At medium scales, it has been shown to influence decadal coastal change patterns. However, the importance of sediment availability at interannual and event scales remains largely unexplored. Further exploration of nearshore geology, specifically alongshore variability in wave ravinement formation, could improve understanding of the response and recovery of the coastal zone over event to interannual time scales. At Fire Island, NY, decades of study have established a connection between the geology of the inner shelf and long- and medium-term coastal behavior. An extensive data set and the significant impact of Hurricane Sandy on the island provides the opportunity to improve understanding of the role of nearshore sediment availability in coastal recovery. During June 2014, in collaboration with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Field Research Facility, high-resolution seismic profiles were collected along approximately 30 km of the island, extending from the beach to approximately 2 km offshore and spanning a variety of previously documented shoreface morphologies. The morphology and character of the shoreface wave ravinement surface varies spatially and with depth, resulting in variability in shoreface sediment available for beach recovery. Geophysical data are compared to the results of repeated shoreface bathymetry surveys and beach recovery data to explore links between nearshore geology and morphodynamics and upper shoreface recovery.

The desired outcome is for added sediments to have a beneficial effect on the littoral system. Many small inlets in Florida are dredged using the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) hoppers Murden and Currituck. These vessels dredge up to 500 and 300 cubic yards (CY) per load respectively, and can place material as shallow as 5-feet of water. Stakeholders commonly question if positive effects on the littoral system from nearshore placement are documented. Questions remain about morphological change following nearshore placements at small inlets on the east coast of Florida where strong littoral currents persist. USACE Wilmington District's dredge Murden placed approximately 150,000 CY of sediment from St. Augustine Inlet and the Intracoastal Waterway in the nearshore along the St. John's County Shore Protection Project in Florida over a period of 45 days. USACE personnel and local stakeholders created a placement plan that concentrated sediment in two 1,000-ft. berms with different placement designs adjacent highly eroded sections of shoreline. Multi-beam and cross-shore surveys of the placement area were taken prior to construction. During construction, researchers from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) deployed two camera arrays recording changes to the planform beach. Monitoring cameras collected time lapse video and single photos over a 180 degree swath during and post placement. The camera images were geo-rectified and analyzed for planform beach changes attributed to the nearshore placement. Multiple post-construction multi-beam and cross shore surveys were taken. Researchers applied the nearshore berm Sediment Mobility Tool developed by ERDC that uses linear and nonlinear wave theories to predict frequency of sediment mobility, onshore/offshore migration, and wave dominant axis of sediment transport in the nearshore. The project was numerically modeled with the Coastal Modeling System (CMS) for additional prediction, verification and visualization of sediment transport and morphodynamic behavior. Researchers will be determining if nearshore placement resulted in positive littoral changes, added dry berm width and increased shore protection.

One such application is the integration of nano-sized titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) in concrete substrate for exploitation of its photo-catalytic properties as a self-cleaning construction material. There is a lack of knowledge regarding how nanomaterials utilized in this manner may erode from the concrete substrate during normal weathering and potentially enter surface water and groundwater environments. Our research demonstrates through the use of accelerated ultraviolet (UV) weathering instrumentation and exposure to four different acidic water solutions, the concentration of nano-TiO2 released from nano-TiO2 integrated concrete, potentially impacting natural water sources. This durability testing model simulates an annual amount of UV and acid rain weathering by exposing nano-TiO2 integrated concrete pucks to thirty UV photoactivation and acidic precipitation events. Effluent from each acidic rinse was subsequently analyzed by ICP-MS and ICP-OES for total titanium, calcium, and magnesium concentrations. Single particle ICP-MS, a relatively new method of measuring nano-sized particles in an aqueous solution, was performed to confirm and provide evidence of nano-TiO2 release. This research provides evidence that normal weather conditions can impact the durability of nano-TiO2 concrete applications, releasing nano-TiO2 into surface and groundwater sources.

Currently, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point graduates approximately 35 (3 percent total graduating body) environmental science/engineering students per year with an additional 150 (14 percent) who have also had a three-course primer on geoscience thinking. These are good starting figures for pre-developing these critical-thinking skills before soldiers enter the battle space. Unfortunately, however, these students invariably ask the question, 'how can I use this major [or these skills] in the military.' The lesson they will learn on or off the battlefield is that, it's not their academic major that matters, it's the observational, quantitative, descriptive and contextual training used to develop their major. Overall, soldiers are getting smarter with an ~3 percent increase in recruits with some college education and a full 98 percent having completed high school (cf. 75 percent of non recruits); now, let's help them think critically in a flexible and adaptable way. What these soldiers need to do once they have these skills is to convince their commander(s) of their abilities and to flex their mental muscles wherever they are-on or off the battlefield.

This report contains an up-to-date review of the state of the science for oil-particle aggregates (OPAs), in terms of their formation and stability which may alter the transport, fate, and toxicity of the residual oil and, hence, its level of ecological risk. Operational considerations-detection, containment, and recovery-are discussed. Although much is known about oil-particle interactions in coastal marine environments, there remains a need for additional science on methods to detect and quantify the presence of OPAs and to understand their effects on containment and recovery of oil spilled under various temperature regimes and in different aquatic habitats including freshwater environments.

For the first time, Lake Vida was drilled to a depth of 27 m. Below 21 m the ice is marked by well-sorted sand layers up to 20 cm thick within a matrix of salty ice. From ice chemistry, isotopic composition of delta (super 18) O and delta (super 2) H, and ground penetrating radar profiles, we conclude that the entire 27 m of ice formed from surface runoff and the sediment layers represent the accumulation of surface deposits. Radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence dating limit the maximum age of the lower ice to 6300 (super 14) C yr BP. As the ice cover ablated downwards during periods of low surface inflow, progressive accumulation of sediment layers insulated and preserved the ice and brine beneath, analogous to the processes that preserve shallow ground ice. The repetition of these sediment layers reveals hydrologic variability in Victoria Valley during the mid- to late Holocene. Lake Vida is an exemplar site for understanding the preservation of subsurface brine, ice, and sediment in a cold desert environment.

Several members of these virus groups can cause significant disease in humans that is generically termed viral hemorrhagic fever (HF) and is characterized as a febrile illness with an increased propensity to cause acute inflammation. Human interaction with rodent carrier populations leads to infection. Arenaviruses are also viewed as potential biological weapons threat agents. There is an increased interest in studying these viruses in animal models to gain a deeper understating not only of viral pathogenesis, but also for the evaluation of medical countermeasures (MCM) to mitigate disease threats. In this review, we examine current knowledge regarding animal models employed in the study of these viruses. We include analysis of infection models in natural reservoirs and also discuss the impact of strain heterogeneity on the susceptibility of animals to infection. This information should provide a comprehensive reference for those interested in the study of arenaviruses and hantaviruses not only for MCM development but also in the study of viral pathogenesis and the biology of these viruses in their natural reservoirs.

AN - 1705010991; 26275214 AB - The paralytic disease botulism is caused by botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT), multi-domain proteins containing a zinc endopeptidase that cleaves the cognate SNARE protein, thereby blocking acetylcholine neurotransmitter release. Antitoxins currently used to treat botulism neutralize circulating BoNT but cannot enter, bind to or neutralize BoNT that has already entered the neuron. The light chain endopeptidase domain (LC) of BoNT serotype A (BoNT/A) was targeted for generation of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that could reverse paralysis resulting from intoxication by BoNT/A. Single-chain variable fragment (scFv) libraries from immunized humans and mice were displayed on the surface of yeast, and 19 BoNT/A LC-specific mAbs were isolated by using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Affinities of the mAbs for BoNT/A LC ranged from a KD value of 9.0×10-11 M to 3.53×10-8 M (mean KD 5.38×10-9 M and median KD 1.53×10-9 M), as determined by flow cytometry analysis. Eleven mAbs inhibited BoNT/A LC catalytic activity with IC50 values ranging from 8.3 ~73×10-9 M. The fine epitopes of selected mAbs were also mapped by alanine-scanning mutagenesis, revealing that the inhibitory mAbs bound the α-exosite region remote from the BoNT/A LC catalytic center. The results provide mAbs that could prove useful for intracellular reversal of paralysis post-intoxication and further define epitopes that could be targeted by small molecule inhibitors.

This is compared with an empirical record based on the generalized observations of the summer albedo progression along with melt onset dates determined from remote sensing. Only the contributions to albedo from ice, snow, and ponds are analyzed; fractional ice area is not considered in this assessment. Key factors dictating summer albedo evolution are the timing and extent of ponding and accumulation of snow. The CCSM4 summer sea ice albedo decline was found, on average, to be less pronounced than either the empirical record or the CLARA-SAL satellite record. The modeled ice albedo does not go as low as the empirical record, nor does the low summer albedo last as long. In the model, certain summers were found to retain snow on sea ice, thus inhibiting ice surface melt and the formation or retention of melt ponds. These "frozen" summers were generally not the summers with the largest spring snow accumulation, but were instead summers that received at least trace snowfall in June or July. When these frozen summers are omitted from the comparison, the model and empirical records are in much better agreement. This suggests that the representation of summer Arctic snowfall events and/or their influence on the sea ice conditions are not well represented in CCSM4 integrations, providing a target for future model development work.

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.

Of the 2843 compounds screened, 120 compounds exhibited greater than or equal to 60% antiviral activity. Four compounds (E225-0969, E528-0039, G118-0778, and G544-0735), which were most active against Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) and showed broad-spectrum antiviral activity, were selected for further evaluation for their concentration-response profile and cytotoxicity. These compounds did not show any visible cytotoxicity at the highest concentration of compound tested (200 mu M). All four of these compounds were more active than ribavirin against several viruses. One compound, E225-0969, had the lowest effective concentration (EC50 = 1.9-8.92 mu M) for all the viruses tested. This compound was 13- and 43-fold more inhibitory against RVFV and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), respectively, than ribavirin. The highest selectivity index (>106.2) was for E225-0969 against CHIKV. Time-of-addition assays suggested that all four lead compounds targeted early steps in the viral life cycle (entry and/or replication) but not virus egress. Overall, this work demonstrates that high-content image analysis can be used to screen chemical libraries for new antivirals against highly pathogenic viruses.

AN - 1680178014; 25927990 AB - Many viruses have been implicated in utilizing or modulating the Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) to enhance viral multiplication and/or to sustain a persistent infection. The mosquito-borne Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) belongs to the Togaviridae family and is an important biodefense pathogen and select agent. There are currently no approved vaccines or therapies for VEEV infections; therefore, it is imperative to identify novel targets for therapeutic development. We hypothesized that a functional UPS is required for efficient VEEV multiplication. We have shown that at non-toxic concentrations Bortezomib, a FDA-approved inhibitor of the proteasome, proved to be a potent inhibitor of VEEV multiplication in the human astrocytoma cell line U87MG. Bortezomib inhibited the virulent Trinidad donkey (TrD) strain and the attenuated TC-83 strain of VEEV. Additional studies with virulent strains of Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) and Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) demonstrated that Bortezomib is a broad spectrum inhibitor of the New World alphaviruses. Time-of-addition assays showed that Bortezomib was an effective inhibitor of viral multiplication even when the drug was introduced many hours post exposure to the virus. Mass spectrometry analyses indicated that the VEEV capsid protein is ubiquitinated in infected cells, which was validated by confocal microscopy and immunoprecipitation assays. Subsequent studies revealed that capsid is ubiquitinated on K48 during early stages of infection which was affected by Bortezomib treatment. This study will aid future investigations in identifying host proteins as potential broad spectrum therapeutic targets for treating alphavirus infections.

This report describes a pilot study completed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to assess two methods to identify undocumented levees by using remotely sensed, high-resolution topographic data. For the first method, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers examined hillshades computed from a digital elevation model that was derived from light detection and ranging (lidar) to visually identify potential levees and then used detailed site visits to assess the validity of the identifications. For the second method, the U.S. Geological Survey applied a wavelet transform to a lidar-derived digital elevation model to identify potential levees. The hillshade method was applied to Delano, Minnesota, and the wavelet-transform method was applied to Delano and Springfield, Minnesota. Both methods were successful in identifying levees but also identified other features that required interpretation to differentiate from levees such as constructed barriers, high banks, and bluffs. Both methods are complementary to each other, and a potential conjunctive method for testing in the future includes (1) use of the wavelet-transform method to rapidly identify slope-break features in high-resolution topographic data, (2) further examination of topographic data using hillshades and aerial photographs to classify features and map potential levees, and (3) a verification check of each identified potential levee with local officials and field visits.

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. © The Author(s) 2015.

The pharmacology of colistin is complex, and pharmacokinetic data are limited, especially in patients requiring renal replacement therapy. As a result, dosing for patients who require renal replacement remains a challenge. Here, we present pharmacokinetic data for colistin from two burn patients (37 and 68 years old) infected with colistin-susceptible isoclonal Acinetobacter baumannii and receiving continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH). To our knowledge, we are the first to examine data from before and during CVVH (for one patient), allowing analysis of the effect of CVVH on colistin pharmacokinetics. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis indicated that a dose increase from 1.5 to 2.2 mg/kg of body weight colistin base activity on CVVH was insufficient to satisfy the target parameter of an AUC24/MIC (area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h in the steady state divided by the MIC) of greater than or equal to 60 at an MIC of greater than or equal to 1 mu g/ml in one patient with residual endogenous renal function. Plasma concentrations of colistin ranged from 0 to 15 mu g/ml, with free colistin levels ranging from 0.4 to 2.2 mu g/ml. While both patients resolved their clinical infections and survived to discharge, colistin-resistant colonizing isolates resulted from therapy in one patient. The variabilities observed in colistin concentrations and pharmacokinetic characteristics highlight the importance of pharmacokinetic monitoring of antibiotics in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy.

Accordingly, acoustic telemetry was used to quantify movements by wild and hatchery steelhead smolts released from 2006 to 2009 in the Green River, and tracked through Puget Sound, Washington. Survival varied by release group and migration segment but overall survival rates from release to the Strait of Juan de Fuca were 9.7 % for wild and 3.6 % for hatchery fish. These rates are low relative to similar studies on steelhead. Survival was higher for wild fish along all migration segments than hatchery-origin fish; the greatest loss for both groups coincided with the slowest travel rates as fish first entered the estuary and as they exited Puget Sound. Wild fish travelled faster than hatchery fish in the river (15.1 vs. 4.4 km/d) with the fastest travel in the lower river (41 vs. 20.2 km/d) and slowest immediately after release (3.7 vs. 2.4 km/d). The travel rates of wild and hatchery fish became progressively more similar over time: 15.4 vs. 10.6 km/d in the estuary, and 10.3 vs. 9.3 km/d in nearshore areas. Movement was primarily nocturnal in the river, nearly equal between day and night in the upper estuary, and predominately diurnal in the lower estuary and nearshore waters, with no difference between wild and hatchery fish. The migration in marine water showed an early offshore movement and a strong northward and westward orientation, and all fish exited the Strait of Juan de Fuca rather than the Strait of Georgia. The findings support research suggesting that declines in wild and hatchery steelhead populations may be caused primarily by factors in the early marine period.

AN - 1640483639; 25331496 AB - 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. 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. 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. 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. © The Author 2014.

AN - 1640483349; 25352572 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. © The Author 2014.

for breakup of Sino-Korean Craton from Gondwana AN - 1692741447; 2015-059883 AB - In the early Paleozoic the Sino-Korean Craton (SKC) and South China Craton (SCC) were situated along the margin of east Gondwana. The SKC was connected to core Gondwana by an epeiric sea which was the site for deposition of lower Paleozoic sequences of SKC. The SKC and SCC may have drifted away from core Gondwana sometime during the mid-Paleozoic and would have been outboard microcontinents in the late Paleozoic, until they collided to form the East Asian continent in the Triassic. The breakup of SCC from Gondwana was suggested to have taken place at approximately 380 Ma, while no reliable suggestions have hitherto been made for breakup of SKC from Gondwana. This study presents a convincing evidence for breakup of SKC from Gondwana, based on the recognition of Late Ordovician volcanism in Korea. New SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages, 445.0 + or - 3.7 Ma and 452.5 + or - 3.2 Ma, are obtained from trachytic rocks of the Ongnyeobong Formation of Taebaeksan Basin in Korea which occupied the marginal part of the SKC in the early Paleozoic. This Late Ordovician volcanism along with previous records of Ordovician volcanic activities along the western margin of the SKC is interpreted indicating the development of an incipient oceanic ridge. The oceanic ridge uplifted the SKC including the epeiric sea, which subsequently resulted in terminating the early Paleozoic sedimentation of the epeiric sea. The paucity of lower Paleozoic volcanic rocks across much of the SKC however suggests that the oceanic ridge did not extend into the epeiric sea. Instead, spreading of oceanic ridge entailed dextral movement of associated transform faults, which may have played a major role in breakup of SKC from mainland Gondwana by the end of Ordovician.

AN - 1564354532; 25201767 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.

Recent advances in high speed measurement of Rayleigh scattering has enabled distributed recording of seismic waves over long sections of fiber; this approach, referred to as distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has the potential to allow nearly continuous monitoring of near-surface mechanical properties, a crucial target for geotechnical management of infrastructure dependent on soil strength. We present initial results from our effort to build a real-time soil property monitoring system based on DAS; our approach employs seismic interferometry and dispersion analysis of ambient noise generated by infrastructure to provide a continuously updated model of shear modulus. Our preliminary results include an in-depth investigation of DAS fiber response in the context of active sources; this component of our study verifies classical models for the azimuthal response of straight fibers to propagating surface waves. We also explore the "noisescape" of linear infrastructure and show a usable seismic signal band of 8-40 hz at a series of sites, primarily consisting of Rayleigh waves. Finally, we present preliminary results from a DAS monitoring array installed at the Richmond Field Station near a heavily used road and compare interferometric processing of the acquired data to that generated by surface deployment of geophones.

Accurately identifying the character and extent of these ice features in permafrost terrains allows engineers and planners to cost effectively create innovative infrastructure designs to withstand the changing environment. We are assembling a holistic view of how a variety of surficial and standoff geophysical measurements can be combined with classic ground based measurements to delineate subsurface permafrost features. We are combining horizontal geophysical measurements; borehole mapping; multispectral and radar remote sensing; airborne and ground-based LiDAR; snow, soil, and vegetation mapping; and subsurface thermal measurements and modeling at three field sites in discontinuous permafrost of Interior Alaska. Our sites cross transects representing upland and lowland permafrost and a variety of soil and vegetation compositions. With our measurements we identified and mapped a 300 meter wide swath of ice rich frozen peat at one of our lowland field sites. The high ice content was confirmed with borehole measurements. This ice rich permafrost region yields higher electrical resistivity values than the nearby permafrost and is associated with anomalously low seasonal thaw depths compared to other sites nearby. Surface soils in the ice rich region have high soil moisture contents, low redox potential (30-100 mV), and elevated soil microbial activity. The ice rice region yields low phase changes from paired interferometric synthetic aperture radar measurements collected in late spring and late summer. One interpretation of this result is that the ice rich area experiences minimal summer season subsidence. Taken in total, our results suggest the ice rich peat region has distinct surface signatures and subsurface geophysical characteristics that may be extrapolated to other areas to identify ice rich permafrost in the subsurface.

Laboratory experiments were patterned after the experiments of Childs and Poulovassilis (1962. The moisture profile above a moving water table, Journal of Soil Science, 13(2), 271-285) and conducted in a Wedron sand packed column (14.5 cm in diameter and 141 cm in length) using different upper boundary fluxes and varying water table velocities. A constant head tank reservoir suspended from a stepper motor was used to control water table movement. Time-domain reflectrometry (TDR) probes were used to measure water content at seven different depths, while tensiometers measured capillary pressures at three depths. Measured water contents and pressures indicated hysteresis effect. The retention curves were affected by the wetting/drying processes, soil surface rainfall conditions, and varied at different locations. A single set of van Genuchten parameters were identified that resulted in adequate description of soil water retention relations for both rising and falling water table cases. The water flow dynamics were simulated using the one-dimensional Talbot-Ogden (T-O) infiltration and redistribution method (Talbot and Ogden, 2008. A method for computing infiltration and redistribution in a discretized moisture content domain, Water Resources Research, 44(8), W08453, DOI: 10.1029/2008WR006815) modified to consider the influence of the groundwater table on the vadose zone. Simulation results agreed satisfactorily with measurements for the evolution of water content profile, though hysteresis effect was not considered in the T-O method. Predicted ponding/deponding times using T-O method were generally acceptable. The performance of T-O method was compared with the numerical solution of Richards' equation (RE). Results showed similar performance for both methods, however the RE solver performed better in cases with a falling water, while the T-O method performed better in cases with a rising water table. The performance of both T-O and RE were best when the water table velocity was less than 20 percent of the saturated hydraulic conductivity.

Unfortunately, many different mathematical model formulations are required to model particular processes and scales of interest, and each formulation often requires specialized numerical methods. The Proteus toolkit is a software package for research on models for coastal and hydraulic processes and improvements in numerics, particularly 3D multiphase processes and parallel numerics. The models considered include multiphase flow, shallow water flow, turbulent free surface flow, and various flow-driven processes. We will discuss the objectives of Proteus and recent evolution of the toolkit'sdesign as well as present examples of how it has been used used to construct computational models of multiphase flows for the US Army Corps of Engineers. Proteus is also an open source toolkit authored primarily within the US Army Corps of Engineers, and used, developed, and maintained by a small community of researchers in both theoretical modeling and computational methods research. We will discuss how open source and community development practices have played a role in the creation of Proteus.

The replacement compound being tested is 2, 4-dinitroanisole (DNAN). DNAN is less sensitive to shock, high temperatures, and has good detonation characteristics. However, DNAN is more soluble than TNT, which can influence transport and fate behavior and thus bioavailability and exposure potential. DNAN has been shown to have some human and environmental toxicity. The objective of this study was to investigate the environmental fate of DNAN in soil, with a specific focus on sorption processes. Batch experiments were conducted using 11 soils collected from military installations located across the United States. The soils were characterized for pH, specific surface area, electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, and organic carbon content. Adsorption kinetic data determined at room temperature were fitted using the first order kinetic equation. Adsorption isotherms were fitted with linear and Freundlich isotherm equations. The magnitudes of the linear adsorption coefficients ranged from 0.6 to 6 cm3/g. Results indicated that the adsorption of DNAN is strongly dependent on the amount of organic carbon present in the soil.

Today a community of open-source codes have been developed that address a multitude of different needs including non-conservative balance laws, high-order accurate methods, and parallelism while remaining extensible and easy to use, largely by the judicious use of Python and the original Fortran codes that it wraps. This talk will present some of the recent developments in projects under the Clawpack umbrella, notably the GeoClaw and PyClaw projects. GeoClaw was originally developed as a tool for simulating tsunamis using adaptive mesh refinement but has since encompassed a large number of other geophysically relevant flows including storm surge and debris-flows. PyClaw originated as a Python version of the original Clawpack algorithms but has since been both a testing ground for new algorithmic advances in the Clawpack framework but also an easily extensible framework for solving hyperbolic balance laws. Some of these extensions include the addition of WENO high-order methods, massively parallel capabilities, and adaptive mesh refinement technologies, made possible largely by the flexibility of the Python language and community libraries such as NumPy and PETSc. Because of the tight integration with Python technologies, both packages have benefited also from the focus on reproducibility in the Python community, notably IPython notebooks.

In a dropwise condensation system, the heat transferred to the condensing surface is related to the size distribution of attached drops. This study subjects a vertically-oriented condensing surface to mechanical vibrations ranging from 100 to 400 Hz, exciting the resonance modes of appropriately sized condensate drops. Resonating drops mobilize and shed from the surface at smaller size and with greater frequency than compared to a case without vibration, reducing the population of large, thermally inefficient drops on the surface. Excitation frequencies of 100 and 200 Hz yielded net improvement in estimated heat transfer rate in excess of 70% over the stationary case, suggesting that substantial reductions in fuel usage and footprint may be realized by applying this concept in condenser design.

This investigation compared injury rates between the two parachute systems during mass tactical parachute training exercises at Fort Bragg, NC. Methods: Investigators were on the drop zone for all parachute operations. Data on injured jumpers were collected on the drop zone and supplemented with medical records. Operational data were collected from standard reports and weather data were obtained using a Kestrel(R) Model 4500 pocket weather tracker. Results: There were a total of 131,747 jumps resulting in 1101 injured service members for a crude incidence of 8.4 injuries/1000 jumps. Most injuries (88%) with a known injury mechanism were associated with ground impact. In univariate analysis, risk of injury with the T-10 was 9.1/1000 jumps and that with the T-11 was 5.2/1000 jumps [odds ratio (T-10/T-11) = 1.72, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.45-2.08, P < 0.01]. Other factors that independently increased injury risk included night jumps, combat loads, higher wind speeds, higher temperatures, certain aircraft, and entanglements. After controlling for these factors in a multivariate analysis, injury risk was still higher for the T-10 parachute when compared to the T-11 [odds ratio (T-10/T-11) = 1.56, 95%CI = 1.28-1.89, P < 0.01). For virtually all strata of the independent risk factors, the T-11 had a lower injury rate. Conclusion: Compared to the T-10, the T-11 parachute had a lower injury incidence under virtually all the operational conditions examined.

In interior Alaska thick sand and gravel grading and its frozen state by late winter generally afford up to 10 m of signal penetration at lower frequencies. Consequently, this penetration potentially allows identification of pavement issues involving frost heave and thaw settlement, while the smooth surface allows assessment of GPR performance in permafrost areas under ideal survey conditions. Here I discuss profiles using pulse center frequencies from 50 to 360 MHz, recorded over sections of the Steese and Elliott Highways within and just north of Fairbanks, respectively, and of the Tok Highway near Glennallen. Construction fill is easily recognized by its stratification; where marginally present along the Elliott it is replaced by steeply dipping horizons from the underlying schist. The frost depth and water table horizons are recognized by phase attributes of the reflected pulse, as dictated by the contrasts present in dielectric permittivity, their relative depths, and their continuity. Undulating stratification in the sand and gravel fill indicates thaw settlement, as caused by the melting of buried massive ice. The Tok section reveals the top and likely the bottom of massive ice. Generally, signal penetration is greatly reduced beneath the water table and so the highest resolution, at 360 MHz, covers all horizons. There is rare evidence of a permafrost table because it is most likely masked or nearly coincident with the water table. Permafrost penetration in frozen silts is a long-standing problem for GPR, for which I discuss a possible cause related to Maxwell-Wagner dielectric relaxation losses associated with unfrozen water.

Beginning in 2009, the US Corps of Engineers has taken steps to provide guidance on evaluating and adapting to sea level change. Close collaboration with national and international experts is an essential component in our process of developing practical, nationally consistent, and cost-effective measures to reduce potential vulnerabilities resulting from global changes. The next stage of USACE evaluation is to provide guidance on procedures to evaluate the magnitudes and effects of total water levels at USACE projects. The guidance will outline project specific analysis and assessment of total water level with respect to four primary mission areas: flood damage risk reduction, navigation, coastal storm damage risk reduction, and ecosystems.

Most tool designs utilize strong permanent magnets in order to achieve sufficient S/N, this has the side effect that the measured NMR phenomenon occur in the presence of a constant static-field gradient (nablaB0)mathbf{B} (sub 0) ). The gradient can be exploited, using enhanced diffusion methods (EDM), in order to measure the temperature-dependent effective diffusion (Deff(T)D (sub mathit{eff) }(T)) constant of the investigated fluids. EDM have proven to be powerful and reliable techniques for fluid-type discrimination.In water-only samples deviation of the apparent diffusion from the intrinsic molecular diffusion coefficient of water (Dw(T))(D (sub w) (T)) is primarily controlled by restricted diffusion--the physical obstruction of spins which impedes free diffusion within the gradient. The ability to relate hydraulic conductivity to NMR measurements is of fundamental interest in hydrogeophysics. Commonly, NMR relaxation and recovery time constants (T1,2)(T (sub 1,2) ) are used for this purpose. A growing body of work has highlighted the complicated nature of these relationships, particularity in unconsolidated high-porosity media. Furthermore, these relationships are dependent on the surface relaxivity (rho Nrho (sub N) ) and micro-porosity of the media. DeffD (sub mathit{eff}) is intrinsically linked to the mobility of spins within a sample, has been related to pore geometry, and intriguingly shares units with transmissivity. The short-time behavior of DeffD (sub mathit{eff}) is independent of rho Nrho (sub N) while full records can be used to yield estimates of relaxivity. In this study we compare data collected from laboratory and borehole NMR instruments with laboratory permeameter measurements for unconsolidated mixtures of sands, silt, and fine gravels. A 2D inversion for T2T (sub 2) and DeffD (sub mathit{eff}) was developed under the assumption that all diffusion-related signal attenuation occurs in the motional averaging regime. Correlation between T2T (sub 2) , D0D (sub 0) , and hydraulic conductivity is then investigated as well as limitations of the approaches. We find that the addition of DeffD (sub mathit{eff}) information yields valuable additional information for NMR hydraulic studies.

Seven different levels of sorption activity were observed, which were broadly grouped into three categories-high performing, middle performing, and low performing aggregates. Chemical analysis of Ca, Al, Fe, and Mg was used to describe the differences between LWAs. There was a significant correlation between cation (especially Al, Ca, Fe, and Mg) content and P sorbed. Langmuir isotherms were used to describe P sorption maximum and binding affinity for four of the top five performing LWAs, Universal, Stalite "D", Stalite "Mix", and TXI. The fifth aggregate, Lehigh, exhibited more complex sorption, and was better described by the Freundlich isotherm. Universal had a mean P sorption at the highest concentration of 824 mg kg super(-1), well above its calculated sorption maximum (702 mg kg super(-1)), and also had the highest binding affinity (1.1 L mg super(-1)). This experiment suggests that the top performing LWA (Universal) may perform poorly in column and field studies due to observed precipitates, which could degrade constructed wetland performance. Other LWAs may exhibit superior field performance due to their high calculated sorption maxima. In general, these results highlight the importance of batch experiments as a first step in identifying materials suitable for column and field experiments.

Source and runup scenarios based on real world events are physically modeled using generalized Froude similarity in the three dimensional NEES tsunami wave basin at Oregon State University. A novel pneumatic landslide tsunami generator (LTG) was deployed to simulate landslides with varying geometry and kinematics. The bathymetric and topographic scenarios tested with the LTG are the basin-wide propagation and runup, fjord, curved headland fjord and a conical island setting representing a landslide off an island or a volcano flank collapse. The LTG consists of a sliding box filled with 1,350 kg of landslide material which is accelerated by pneumatic pistons down slope. Two different landslide materials are used to study the granulometry effects: naturally rounded river gravel and cobble mixtures. Water surface elevations are recorded by an array of resistance wave gauges. The landslide deformation is measured from above and underwater camera recordings. The landslide deposit is measured on the basin floor with a multiple transducer acoustic array (MTA). Landslide surface reconstruction and kinematics are determined with a stereo particle image velocimetry (PIV) system. Wave runup is recorded with resistance wave gauges along the slope and verified with video image processing. The measured landslide and wave parameters are compared between the planar hill slope used in various scenarios and the convex hill slope of the conical island. The energy conversion rates from the landslide motion to the wave train is quantified for the planar and convex hill slopes. The wave runup data on the opposing headland is analyzed and evaluated with wave theories. The measured landslide and tsunami data serve to validate and advance three-dimensional numerical landslide tsunami prediction models. Two 3D Navier-Stokes models were tested, the commercial code FLOW-3D and the tsunami model TSUNAMI3D. The prediction of the wave fields and runups by the models were compared and analyzed to improve methodologies and key parameters for landslide rheology. Model errors with respect to the set of experiments were estimated and compared against the allowable errors indicated by the NTHMP.

The TCAT approach provides advantages that include a firm connection between the microscale, or pore scale, and the macroscale; a thermodynamically consistent basis; explicit inclusion of factors such as interfacial areas, contact angles, interfacial tension, and curvatures; and dynamics of interface movement and relaxation to an equilibrium state. In order to render the TCAT model solvable, certain closure relations are needed to relate fluid pressure, interfacial areas, curvatures, and relaxation rates. In this work, we formulate and solve a TCAT-based two-fluid-phase flow model. We detail the formulation of the model, which is a specific instance from a hierarchy of two-fluid-phase flow models that emerge from the theory. We show the closure problem that must be solved. Using recent results from high-resolution microscale simulations, we advance a set of closure relations that produce a closed model. Lastly, we use locally conservative spatial discretization and higher order temporal discretization methods to approximate the solution to this new model and compare the solution to the traditional model.

The mapping covers 48-m long and 4-m high walls and the ceiling of the tunnel. A general cryostratigraphic map of the entire tunnel and more detailed maps of several parts of the tunnel were compiled, and ground-ice content was estimated. The tunnel presents features typical of ice-rich syngenetic permafrost (yedoma): ice wedges with a vertical extent of more than 10 m, the prevalence of micro-cryostructures, and the occurrence of large amount of almost undecomposed organic matter. The isotope composition of the Late Pleistocene ice wedges ranges between -28.7 ppm and -25.5 ppm for delta 18O (mean value -27.3 ppm, n=18), while for the Holocene wedges the range is between -26.5 ppm and -21.9 ppm (mean value -24.3 ppm, n=26). Numerous bodies of thermokarst-cave ice and several layers of segregated ice (both of the Late Pleistocene age) were also sampled: delta 18O values for thermokarst-cave ice vary from -25.5 ppm to -19.3 ppm (mean value -23.0 ppm, n=23), and for layers of segregated ice (ice "belts")--from -23.4 ppm to -21.0 ppm (mean value -21.7 ppm, n=9). Five main cryostratigraphic units include (described from the top): (1) active layer, 0.6 to 0.8-m thick; (2) intermediate layer (ice-rich silt, up to 0.6-m thick); (3) yedoma silts reworked by thermokarst and thermal erosion during the Holocene, 3 to 5-m thick, generally ice-poor, with thin ice wedges; (4) Late Pleistocene ice-rich yedoma silts with large ice wedges, 10 to 14-m thick; (5) ice-poor alluvial gravels. Occurrence of the ice-poor deposits in the upper permafrost protects ice-rich yedoma deposits from thermokarst development. These studies revealed significant differences in the cryostratigraphy of the new and old CRREL tunnels: permafrost in the new tunnel has been less affected by erosional events.

However, few quantitative studies of variations in shallow stratigraphic layers, as differentiated by variations in mean grain size, have been conducted, in no small part due to the difficulty of collecting undisturbed sediment cores in the energetic lower beach and swash zone. Due to this lack of quantitative stratigraphic grain size data, most coastal morphology models assume that uniform grain sizes dominate sandy beaches, allowing for little to no temporal or spatial variations in grain size heterogeneity. In a first-order attempt to quantify small-scale, temporal and spatial variations in beach stratigraphy, thirty-five vibracores were collected at the USACE Field Research Facility (FRF), Duck, NC, in March-April of 2014 using the FRF's Coastal Research and Amphibious Buggy (CRAB). Vibracores were collected at set locations along a cross-shore profile from the toe of the dune to a water depth of approximately 1m in the surf zone. Vibracores were repeatedly collected from the same locations throughout a tidal cycle, as well as pre- and post a nor'easter event. In addition, two approximately 1.5m deep trenches were dug in the cross-shore and along-shore directions (each approximately 14m in length) after coring was completed to allow better interpretation of the stratigraphic sequences observed in the vibracores. The elevations of coherent stratigraphic layers, as revealed in vibracore-based fence diagrams and trench data, are used to relate specific observed stratigraphic sequences to individual storm events observed at the FRF. These data provide a first-order, quantitative examination of the small-scale temporal and spatial variability of shallow grain size along an open, sandy coastline. The data will be used to refine morphological model predictions to include variations in grain size and associated shallow stratigraphy.

In areas where the surface is frozen, lenses of water present in the subsurface may act as microbial refugia. In the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, the presence of highly saline brine in valley lakes raises the potential for the existence of a deep groundwater network. We report on a geophysical study that shows Lake Vida, in Victoria Valley, is nearly frozen, and the remaining brine is confined beneath thick ice. Near surface, bathymetric mapping of grounded lake ice was accomplished from a series of ground penetrating radar surveys. Radar penetration was limited to 20 m. An airborne transient electromagnetic survey (AEM) revealed a low resistivity zone at 30-100 m depth beneath the surface of the lake. Based on previous knowledge of brine chemistry and local geology, this zone is interpreted as brine saturated unconsolidated sediments with a porosity of 23-42%. Brine volume is calculated at 15 to 32 million cubic meters, which is of similar magnitude to the brine volume in nearby saline lakes. The AEM survey provided a means of quantifying the spatial extent of deep subsurface brine in this remote environment, and has provided a new perspective on the potential for subsurface habitats in areas often considered devoid of life.

Recent studies have shown that not only does grain size vary on the surface of beaches, it is also correlated with the morphology and the grain size surface patterns change as the morphology changes. XBeach is now being used, with a multi grain size module, to predict transport of different grain sizes, their sorting and separation and to determine the importance of grain size variation on the beach. However, only surface grain sizes have been measured and compared with model results. In March and April of 2014, a pilot experiment was performed at the Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility. During the experiment, 36 stratigraphic cores were collected along a cross-shore profile from the dune to the lowest extent of the swash. These cores are being sampled with a digital imaging system (DIS) to estimate grain size. The DIS can streamline the process of collecting grain size information. Errors associated with the technique and with coring (and compaction) will be discussed. Grain size stratigraphy in the beach and its variations with location and in time are being examined at this time. These data will be used, together with observations from a large trench (see related abstract by Wadman et al.), to interpret layering in the beach owing to storms, rising and falling tides and wave-by-wave transport mechanism. In addition, the data will be used to drive model predictions to assess the importance of grain size variation, differential grain transport and layering on the morphodynamics of beaches (see related abstract by Reniers et al.).

This could potentially lead to a significant mismatch between predictions and observations of profile evolution given the strong sensitivity of sediment transport formulae to the grain size. To explore this in more detail, numerical simulations with XBeach have been performed to simulate the observations of changes in beach profile and stratigraphy within the swash zone at Duck, NC, under a range of wave and tidal conditions (see presentations by Wadman et al., and Gallagher et al. for complementary information on the observations at this conference). The research focus is to establish the morphodynamic response to the sediment dynamics at short and longer time scales in the presence of stratigraphy. A better understanding of the mechanisms and subsequently improved modeling will provide more accurate predictions of the morphodynamic response of the beach during moderate and extreme conditions. It will also help in the interpretation of sediment layering of the beach to relate to past extreme storms on geological time scales.

Microbial strategies for survival and carbon metabolism over geologic time in a Pleistocene permafrost chronosequence AN - 1718054225; 2015-095557 AB - Permafrost soils have received tremendous interest due to their importance as a global carbon store with the potential to be thawed over the coming centuries. Instead of being "frozen in time," permafrost contains active microbes. Most metagenomic studies have focused on Holocene aged permafrost. Here, we target Pleistocene aged ice and carbon rich permafrost (Yedoma), which can differ in carbon content and stage of decay. Our aim was to understand how microbes in the permafrost transform organic matter over geologic time and to identify physiological and biochemical adaptations that enable long-term survival. We used next-generation sequencing to characterize microbial communities along a permafrost age gradient. Samples were collected from the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) Permafrost Tunnel near Fox, AK, which penetrates a hillside providing access to permafrost ranging in age from 12 to 40 kyr. DNA was extracted directly from unthawed samples. 16S rRNA amplicon (16S) and shotgun metagenome sequencing revealed significant age-driven differences. First, microbial diversity declines with permafrost age, likely due to long-term exposure to environmental stresses and a reduction in metabolic resources. Second, we observed taxonomic differences among ages, with an increasing abundance of Firmicutes (endospore-formers) in older samples, suggesting that dormancy is a common survival strategy in older permafrost. Ordination of 16S and metagenome data revealed age-based clustering. Genes differing significantly between age categories included those involved in lipopolysaccharide assembly, cold-response, and carbon processing. These data point to the physiological adaptations to long-term frozen conditions and to the metabolic processes utilized in ancient permafrost. In fact, a gene common in older samples is involved in cadaverine production, which could potentially explain the putrefied smell of Pleistocene aged permafrost. Coupled with soil chemistry analysis, these processes show how a tightly linked microbial food web can survive over geologic time with no influx of new energy or materials. This web may also help to explain differences in Pleistocene carbon chemistry and why this carbon is highly bioavailable for microbial consumption post thaw.

We examined the effects of fire disturbance on permafrost across a chronosequence of fire scars (1930-2010) in the forested areas of collapse-scar bog complexes in the Tanana Flats of Interior Alaska, and utilized a thermal permafrost model (GIPL) to assess the roles of soil physical properties and historic climate. Field-based calculations of potential thaw settlement following the loss of ice-rich permafrost ranged from 0.4 m to 0.9 m. This subsidence would cause the surface elevations of current day forests to drop, on average, to 0.1 m below the surface water level of adjacent collapse-scar bogs, likely resulting in water impoundment. However, the vulnerability of permafrost to deep thawing and talik formation was variable among fire scars due to heterogeneity in organic layer thickness, soil texture, moisture, and associated thermal properties. Simulated reductions in organic layer thickness predicted talik formation in peat and silt loam-dominated soils, but not in sandy loams. The vulnerability of permafrost to talik formation increased under the climatic conditions since 1970, which were characterized by higher air temperatures. Pronounced permafrost thawing occurred during periods of high snow accumulation, whereas periods of low snow accumulation appeared to facilitate permafrost recovery. Simulations of the complete removal of the organic layer (high severity fire) in silt loam-dominated sites suggested the long-term loss of permafrost under the climate of the last century. Overall, the influence of fire on permafrost in these lowland ecosystems appears to be dependent on soil physical properties, fire severity, and climatic conditions.

The participants reviewed community accomplishments over the past four decades. Federal agencies, including FEMA, NOAA, NPS, USGS, USACE, and NRL discussed the most pressing societal needs within the coastal zone. The group engaged in a retrospective of the last four decades of progress, assessed the current status and limitations of nearshore processes research, and developed a vision for the future that focuses on societally relevant problems. The top research topics identified included: Long-term Coastal Impacts: Meaningfully improve our understanding and prediction of the long-term coastal effects of sea level rise and changes in storminess patterns and associated efforts to protect coastal infrastructure. Extreme Events: Coastal flooding, overland flow, and concurrent morphological evolution during extreme events including the subsequent process of coastal recovery. Human and Ecosystem Health: Linkages between physical coastal processes (transport and mixing) and land-based pollution (pathogens, nutrients, toxic contaminants). Critical for addressing these research questions is enabling infrastructure, such as new observational tools and data sets, models, and nearshore-community communication and collaboration. Idea and concepts developed during the meeting (to be published in Shore and Beach) will be presented to foster collaboration and advocacy amongst the wider nearshore community.

PURPOSE: To examine the likelihood of return to sport and the recurrence of instability after an in-season anterior shoulder instability event based on the type of instability (subluxation vs dislocation). Additionally, injury factors and patient-reported outcome scores administered at the time of injury were evaluated to assess the predictability of eventual successful return to sport and time to return to sport during the competitive season. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study (prognosis); Level of evidence, 2. METHODS: Over 2 academic years, 45 contact intercollegiate athletes were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter observational study to assess return to play after in-season anterior glenohumeral instability. Baseline data collection included shoulder injury characteristics and shoulder-specific patient-reported outcome scores at the time of injury. All athletes underwent an accelerated rehabilitation program without shoulder immobilization and were followed during their competitive season to assess the success of return to play and recurrent instability. RESULTS: Thirty-three of 45 (73%) athletes returned to sport for either all or part of the season after a median 5 days lost from competition (interquartile range, 13). Twelve athletes (27%) successfully completed the season without recurrence. Twenty-one athletes (64%) returned to in-season play and had subsequent recurrent instability including 11 recurrent dislocations and 10 recurrent subluxations. Of the 33 athletes returning to in-season sport after an instability event, 67% (22/33) completed the season. Athletes with a subluxation were 5.3 times more likely (odds ratio [OR], 5.32; 95% CI, 1.00-28.07; P = .049) to return to sport during the same season when compared with those with dislocations. Logistic regression analysis suggests that the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.00-1.09; P = .037) and Simple Shoulder Test (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.00-1.05; P = .044) administered after the initial instability event are predictive of the ability to return to play. Time loss from sport after a shoulder instability event was most strongly and inversely correlated with the Simple Shoulder Test (P = .007) at the time of initial injury. CONCLUSION: In the largest prospective study evaluating shoulder instability in in-season contact athletes, 27% of athletes returned to play and completed the season without subsequent instability. While the majority of athletes who return to sport complete the season, recurrent instability events are common regardless of whether the initial injury was a subluxation or dislocation.

In winter and spring, the ice cover consists of large, snow-covered plate-like ice floes, with very little open water. By the end of summer, the snow cover is gone and the large floes have broken into a complex mosaic of smaller, rounded floes surrounded by a lace of open water. This evolution strongly affects the distribution and fate of the solar radiation deposited in the ice-ocean system and consequently the heat budget of the ice cover. In particular, increased floe perimeter can result in enhanced lateral melting. We attempt to quantify the floe evolution process through the concept of a floe size distribution that is modified by lateral melting and floe breaking. A time series of aerial photographic surveys made during the SHEBA field experiment is analyzed to determine evolution of the floe size distribution from spring through summer. Based on earlier studies, we assume the floe size cumulative distribution could be represented by a power law D (super -alpha ) , where D is the floe diameter. The exponent alpha as well as the number density of floes N (sub tot) are estimated from measurements of total ice area and perimeter. As summer progressed, there was an increase in alpha as the size distribution shifted toward smaller floes and the number of floes increased. Lateral melting causes the distribution to deviate from a power law for small floe sizes. Abstract Copyright (2014), American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved.

As warming occurs, the seasonally thawed active layer will propagate downward into previously frozen mineral-rich soil, releasing carbon and introducing unique chemical weathering signatures into rivers. We use variations in the 87Sr/86Sr, delta 13CDIC, delta 44/40Ca, and major ion geochemistry of rivers to track seasonal active layer dynamics. We collected water from six streams on the North Slope of Alaska between May and October, 2009 and 2010. All rivers drain continuous permafrost but three drain tussock tundra-dominated watersheds and three drain steeper bedrock catchments with minor tundra coverage. In tundra streams, elevated 87Sr/86Sr ratios, low delta 13CDIC values and major ions ([Na+]+[K+]/[Ca+2]+[Mg+2]) in spring melt runoff suggest flushing of shallow soils with relatively low carbonate content. By July, 87Sr/86Sr ratios stabilize at relatively low values and delta 13CDIC at relatively higher values, indicating the active layer thawed into deeper carbonate-rich soils. In bedrock streams, elevated 87Sr/86Sr ratios correlate with high discharge. By late fall, bedrock stream 87Sr/86Sr ratios decrease steadily, consistent with increased carbonate weathering. Nearly constant delta 13CDIC values and high [SO4-2] for most of the melt season imply significant sulfuric acid-carbonate weathering in bedrock streams. delta 13CDIC values suggest a shift to carbonic acid-carbonate weathering in late 2010, possibly due to limited oxygen for pyrite oxidation during freezing of the active layer. delta 44/40Ca values in both tundra and bedrock streams increase during the seasons, suggesting increased uptake of 40Ca by plants. delta 44/40Ca values of rivers are at least 0.1-0.2 ppm higher than their watershed soils, rocks and sediments, suggesting significant plant uptake. Our findings show how seasonal changes in mineral weathering have potential for tracking active layer dynamics.

We used pulses centered from 150-200 MHz and 300-360 MHz. The boulder-rich sediments reside over granitic and metavolcanics, the horizons of which we recognize from the relative strengths and phase of their waveforms, underlying fractures, and well-developed diffraction asymptotes. The till produced an apparent dense distribution of diffractions with limited asymptotes and dispersion, and occasional minor stratification. We use these diffractions and moveout profiles to calculate relative dielectric permittivities between 17 and 27, values which suggest up to 30% volumetric water, and likely saturation within these over-consolidated sediments. The evidence for transitions from till to bedrock ranges from a simple horizon to complex horizon segments, all characterized by diffractions and amenable to single-layer migration. A gradational loss in diffraction strength with depth suggests gradational weathering or changes in grain size as the cause. Maximum profiled depths range from 4 m to at least 10 m, with estimated scattering attenuation rates of about 3.3 dB m (super -1) . In contrast, one and possible two colluvial diamicts, which likely contained 3-m-size boulders, show short segments of stratification, rare diffraction asymptotes, allow more than 20-m penetration and provide scattering losses of about 0.5 dB m (super -1) . We measured extremely low conductivity and calculated permittivities ranging from 9-12, which suggest high densities and volumetric water content of 4-12%. Low, single scattering loss and deep penetration in the till are consistent with evidence of ground waves traveling up to 40 m one way. The phase polarity of waveforms within till and colluvial events show they may originate from either high or low dielectric contrasts, likely related to water or large boulders, respectively.

Development of novel decontamination strategies that have minimal environmental impacts remains a high priority. Although ungerminated spores are amongst the most resilient organisms known, once exposed to germinants, the germinating spores, in some cases, become susceptible to antimicrobial environments. We evaluated the concept that once germinated, B. anthracis spores would be less hazardous and significantly easier to remediate than ungerminated dormant spores. Through in vitro germination and sensitivity assays, we demonstrated that upon germination, B. anthracis Ames spores and Bacillus thuringiensis Al Hakam spores (serving as a surrogate for B. anthracis) become susceptible to environmental stressors. The majority of these germinated B. anthracis and B. thuringiensis spores were nonviable after exposure to a defined minimal germination-inducing solution for prolonged periods of time. Additionally, we examined the impact of potential secondary disinfectant strategies including bleach, hydrogen peroxide, formaldehyde and artificial UV-A, UV-B and UV-C radiation, employed after a 60-min germination-induction step. Each secondary disinfectant employs a unique mechanism of killing; as a result, germination-induction strategies are better suited for some secondary disinfectants than others. These results provide evidence that the deployment of an optimal combination strategy of germination-induction/secondary disinfection may be a promising aspect of wide-area decontamination following a B. anthracis contamination event. By inducing spores to germinate, our data confirm that the resulting cells exhibit sensitivities that can be leveraged when paired with certain decontamination measures. This increased susceptibility could be exploited to devise more efficient and safe decontamination measures and may obviate the need for more stringent methods that are currently in place.

AN - 1623294782; 25245806 AB - Francisella tularensis is a highly infectious bacterium that causes the potentially lethal disease tularemia. This extremely virulent bacterium is able to replicate in the cytosolic compartments of infected macrophages. To invade macrophages and to cope with their intracellular environment, Francisella requires multiple virulence factors, which are still being identified. Proteins containing tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-like domains seem to be promising targets to investigate, since these proteins have been reported to be directly involved in virulence-associated functions of bacterial pathogens. Here, we studied the role of the FTS_0201, FTS_0778, and FTS_1680 genes, which encode putative TPR-like proteins in Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica FSC200. Mutants defective in protein expression were prepared by TargeTron insertion mutagenesis. We found that the locus FTS_1680 and its ortholog FTT_0166c in the highly virulent Francisella tularensis type A strain SchuS4 are required for proper intracellular replication, full virulence in mice, and heat stress tolerance. Additionally, the FTS_1680-encoded protein was identified as a membrane-associated protein required for full cytopathogenicity in macrophages. Our study thus identifies FTS_1680/FTT_0166c as a new virulence factor in Francisella tularensis. Copyright © 2014, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.

It is proposed that previously reported Raman analyses of (EC) sub(n)-UX mixtures have utilized faulty assumptions. In the present studies, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have provided corrections in terms of both the scaling factors for the solvent's Raman band intensity variations and information about band overlap. By accounting for these factors, the solvation numbers obtained from two different EC solvent bands are in excellent agreement with one another. The same analysis for PC, however, was found to be quite challenging. Commercially available PC is a racemic mixture of (S)- and (R)-PC isomers. Based upon the quantum chemistry calculations, each of these solvent isomers may exist as multiple conformers due to a low energy barrier for ring inversion, making deconvolution of the Raman bands daunting and inherently prone to significant error. Thus, Raman spectroscopy is able to accurately determine the extent of the EC...Li super(+) cation solvation interactions using the provided methodology, but a similar analysis of PC...Li super(+) cation solvation results in a significant underestimation of the actual solvation numbers.

PQ0003494061 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.

PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: To determine the modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors for anterior shoulder instability in a high-risk cohort. The hypothesis was that specific baseline factors would be associated with the subsequent risk of injury. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study (prognosis); Level of evidence, 2. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study in which 714 young athletes were followed from June 2006 through May 2010. Baseline assessments included a subjective history of instability, physical examination by a sports medicine fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon, range of motion, strength with a handheld dynamometer, and bilateral noncontrast shoulder magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A musculoskeletal radiologist measured glenoid version, glenoid height, glenoid width, glenoid index (height-to-width ratio), glenoid depth, rotator interval (RI) height, RI width, RI area, RI index, and the coracohumeral interval. Subjects were followed to document all acute anterior shoulder instability events during the 4-year follow-up period. The time to anterior 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 were available for 714 subjects. During the 4-year surveillance period, there were 39 anterior instability events documented at a mean of 285 days. While we controlled for covariates, significant risk factors of physical examination were as follows: apprehension sign (hazard ratio [HR], 2.96; 95% CI, 1.48-5.90; P = .002) and relocation sign (HR, 4.83; 95% CI, 1.75-13.33; P = .002). Baseline range of motion and strength measures were not associated with subsequent injury. Significant anatomic risk factors on MRI measurement were glenoid index (HR, 8.12; 95% CI, 1.07-61.72; P = .043) and the coracohumeral interval (HR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.08-1.34; P = .001). CONCLUSION: This prospective cohort study revealed significant risk factors for shoulder instability in this high-risk population. Physical examination findings of apprehension and relocation were significant while controlling for history of injury. The anatomic variables of significance were not surprising-tall and thin glenoids were at higher risk compared with short and wide glenoids, and the risk of instability increased by 20% for every 1-mm increase in coracohumeral distance.

This represents the Initial experience for pre-hospital blood product transfusion by U.S. Army flight medics. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of clinical records, operating guidelines, after-action reviews, decision and Information briefs, bimonthly medical conferences, and medevac-related medical records. Results: A successful program was administered at 10 locations across Afghanistan. Adherence to protocol transfusion Indications was 97%. There were 61 casualties who were transfused without any known Instance of adverse reaction or local blood product wastage. Shock Index (heart rate/systolic blood pressure) Improved significantly en route, with a median shock Index of 1.6 (IQR 1.2-2.0) pre-transfusion and 1.1 (IQR 1.0-1.5) post-transfusion (P < 0.0001). Blood resupply, training, and clinical procedures were standardized across each of the 10 areas of medevac operations. Discussion: Potential risks of medical complications, reverse propaganda, adherence to protocol, and diversion and/or wastage of limited resources were Important considerations In the development of the pilot program. Aviation-specific risk mitigation strategies were Important to ensure mission success In terms of wastage prevention, standardized operations at multiple locations, and prevention of adverse clinical outcomes.

A total of 66,097 mosquitoes (50 mosquito species from 12 genera) were collected from May 2001 through March 2002 at a forested site near Iquitos, Peru. Mosquitoes were collected using Aotus nancymae Hershkovitz monkey-baited CDC light traps set for 12-h day and night periods at varying heights (e.g., ground and canopy) in the forest. Of the 12 genera, three accounted for 75% of all mosquitoes collected: Culex (33%), Aedes (23%), and Psorophora (18%). The most prevalent species collected were Aedes serratus (Theobald), Culex pedroi Sirivanakarn & Belkin, Psorophora albigenu (Peryassu), and a combination of Mansonia indubitans Dyar & Shannon and Mansonia titillans (Walker), which accounted for 56% of all mosquitoes captured. In general, mosquitoes were collected more often at night and on the ground. Exceptions include Coquillettidia venezuelensis (Theobald), which were collected in relatively even numbers at both day and night and most Mansonia and some species of Anopheles, which were collected more often in the canopy. Total mosquito populations had two peaks, June-July (Ma. indubitans/titillans and Cq. venezuelensis) and December-January (Ps. albigenu, Cx. pedroi, and Ae. serratus). Observations of the eight most collected mosquitoes indicated that behavioral shifts were not observed between collection months. These data provide a better understanding of the species diversity, population density, and seasonal distribution of potential mosquito vectors within the Amazon Basin region and allow for the development of appropriate vector and disease prevention strategies.

This study uses a stochastic simulation framework consisting of a non-homogeneous Markov chain model (NHMM) to simulate the climate state using Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI)-reconstructed data, and K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) to resample observational net basin supply magnitudes for the Great Lakes of North America. The method was applied to generate 500 plausible simulations, each with 100 years of monthly net basin supply for the Upper Great Lakes, to place the observed data into a longer temporal context. The range of net basin supply sequences represents what may have occurred in the past 1,000 years and which can occur in future. The approach was used in evaluation of operational plans for regulation of Lake Superior outflows with implications for lake levels of Superior, Michigan, Huron and Erie, and their interconnecting rivers. The simulations generally preserved the statistics of the observed record while providing new variability statistics. The framework produced a variety of high and low net basin supply sequences that provide a broader estimate of the likelihood of extreme lake levels and their persistence than with the historical record. The method does not rely on parametrically generated net basin supply values unlike parametric stochastic simulation techniques, yet still generates new variability through the incorporation of the paleo-record. The process described here generated new scenarios that are plausible based on the paleo and historic record. The evaluation of Upper Great Lakes regulation plans, subject to these scenarios, was used to evaluate robustness of the regulation plans. While the uncertain future climate cannot be predicted, one can evaluate system performance on a wide range of plausible climate scenarios.

Methods: Blood was collected from 22 men (age 24 plus or minus 4 years) before and after training. Follow-up measurements were made in a subset of 8 subjects between 2 and 6 weeks after training. Serum was analyzed for bone formation biomarkers [bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and osteocalcin (OCN)], bone resorption biomarkers [C-telopeptide cross-links of type I collagen (CTX) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP5b)], calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D (25(OH)D). Data were analyzed using a paired t test to compare baseline to immediate post-training measures. A repeated-measures ANOVA with time as the only factor was used to analyze data on the subset of 8 subjects who completed follow-up data collection. Results: BAP and OCN significantly decreased by 22.8 plus or minus 15.5 % (pre 41.9 plus or minus 10.1; post 31.7 plus or minus 7.8 ng/ml) and 21.0 plus or minus 23.3 % (pre 15.0 plus or minus 3.5; post 11.3 plus or minus 2.1 ng/ml), respectively, with training, suggesting suppressed bone formation. OCN returned to baseline, while BAP remained suppressed 2-6 weeks post-training. TRAP5b significantly increased by 57.5 plus or minus 51.6 % (pre 3.0 plus or minus 0.9; post 4.6 plus or minus 1.4 ng/ml) from pre- to post-training, suggesting increased bone resorption, and returned to baseline 2-6 weeks post-training. PTH Increased significantly by 37.3 plus or minus 45.2 % with training. No changes in CTX, calcium, or PTH were detected. Conclusions: These data indicate that multi-stressor military training results in increased bone resorption and suppressed bone formation, with recovery of bone metabolism 2-6 weeks after completion of training.

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.

201507689 AB - The ideological literature of jihad excludes women from combat, even though the classical doctrine of defensive jihad (jihad al-daf') that jihadis invoke stipulates that all Muslims-men, women, children, and slaves-have an obligation to go out to fight (fard 'ayn) in defense of their territory and their faith. Thus, the validity of the doctrine of defensive jihad is inherently linked to its universal application to all Muslims. Jihadi ideologues and leaders, however, have either purposely refrained from calling on women to make their presence felt on the battlefield as warriors or have explicitly excluded them. This article is an investigation into this lacuna in jihadi ideology. It addresses a dimension that is hardly, if ever, discussed in the academic literature, namely the jihadis' exclusion of women from combat. This exclusion represents a gaping hole in jihadi ideology and undermines the validity of the jihadis' defensive jihad. Adapted from the source document.

Variation in a planet's mineralogy subsequently affects planetary mantle dynamics as well as any deep water or carbon cycle. Through thermodynamic models and high pressure diamond anvil cell experiments, we demonstrate that the oxidation potential of C is above that of Fe at all pressures and temperatures, indicative of 0.1-2 Earth-mass planets. This means that for a planet with (Mg+2Si+Fe+2C)/O > 1, excess C in the mantle will be in the form of diamond. We find that an increase in C, and thus diamond, concentration slows convection relative to a silicate-dominated planet, due to diamond's approximately 3 order of magnitude increase in both viscosity and thermal conductivity. We assert then that in the C-(Mg+2Si+Fe)-O system, there is a compositional range in which a planet can be habitable. Planets outside of this range will be dynamically sluggish or stagnant, thus having limited carbon or water cycles leading to surface conditions inhospitable to life as we know it.

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.

Currently, detection and identification of TMUV are limited to research laboratories, because quantitative rapid diagnostic assays for the virus do not exist. We describe the development of sensitive and specific conventional and real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assays for detecting TMUV RNA in infected cell culture supernatant and Culex tarsalis mosquitoes. We used this assay to document the replication of TMUV in Cx. tarsalis, where titers increased 1,000-fold 5 days after inoculation. These assays resulted in the detection of virus-specific RNA in the presence of copurified mosquito nucleic acids. The use of these rapid diagnostic assays may have future applications for field pathogen surveillance and may assist in early detection, diagnosis, and control of the associated arthropod-borne pathogens.

In 2009 the model was reassessed with 3 clinical standards: primaquine (PQ), tafenoquine (TQ), and atovaquone-proguanil. Both control monkeys were parasitemic on day 8 post-sporozoite inoculation on day 0. Primaquine at 1.78 mg base/kg/day on days (-1) to 8 protected 1 monkey and delayed parasitemia patency of the other monkey to day 49. Tafenoquine at 6 mg base/kg/day on days (-1) to 1 protected both monkeys. However, atovaquone-proguanil at 10 mg atovaquone/kg/day on days (-1) to 8 did not protect either monkey and delayed patency only to days 18-19. Primaquine and TQ at the employed regimens are proposed as appropriate doses of positive control drugs for the model at present.

While the pharmacokinetics of caffeine in the body is well-understood, its alertness-restoring effects are still not well characterized. In fact, mathematical models capable of predicting the effects of varying doses of caffeine on objective measures of vigilance are not available. In this paper, we describe a phenomenological model of the dose-dependent effects of caffeine on psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) performance of sleep-deprived subjects. We used the two-process model of sleep regulation to quantify performance during sleep loss in the absence of caffeine and a dose-dependent multiplier factor derived from the Hill equation to model the effects of single and repeated caffeine doses. We developed and validated the model fits and predictions on PVT lapse (number of reaction times exceeding 500ms) data from two separate laboratory studies. At the population-average level, the model captured the effects of a range of caffeine doses (50-300mg), yielding up to a 90% improvement over the two-process model. Individual-specific caffeine models, on average, predicted the effects up to 23% better than population-average caffeine models. The proposed model serves as a useful tool for predicting the dose-dependent effects of caffeine on the PVT performance of sleep-deprived subjects and, therefore, can be used for determining caffeine doses that optimize the timing and duration of peak performance.

However, there is limited information on doxycycline efficacy in Kenya, and genetic polymorphisms associated with reduced efficacy are not well defined. In vitro doxycycline susceptibility profiles for 96 Plasmodium falciparum field isolates from Kenya were determined. Genetic polymorphisms were assessed in P. falciparum metabolite drug transporter (Pfmdt) and P. falciparum GTPase tetQ (PftetQ) genes. Copy number variation of the gene and the number of KYNNNN amino acid motif repeats within the protein encoded by PftetQ were determined. Reduced in vitro susceptibility to doxycycline was defined by 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of greater than or equal to 35,000 nM. The odds ratio (OR) of having 2 PfTetQ KYNNNN amino acid repeats in isolates with IC50s of >35,000 nM relative to those with IC50s of 1 had a median IC50 of 9,912 nM (P = 0.0245). Isolates with 1 copy of PftetQ had a median IC50 of 6,370 nM, whereas isolates with a PftetQ copy number of >1 had a median IC50 of 3,422 nM (P < 0.0007). Isolates with 2 PfTetQ KYNNNN motif repeats had a median IC50 of 26,165 nM, whereas isolates with 3 PfTetQ KYNNNN repeats had a median IC50 of 3,352 nM (P = 0.0023). PfTetQ sequence polymorphism is associated with a reduced doxycycline susceptibility phenotype in Kenyan isolates and is a potential marker for susceptibility testing.

To fulfill these needs, this study examined critical process parameters during phage propagation to increase phage production capability. A representative scale-down system was created in tube spin reactors to allow parallel experimentation with single- and multi-variable analysis. Temperature, harvest time, media composition, feed regime, bacteriophage, and bacteria concentration were analyzed in the scale-down system. Temperature, media composition, and feeding regimens were found to affect phage production more than other factors. Temperature affected bacterial growth and phage production inversely. Multi-variate analysis identified an optimal parameter space which provided a significant improvement over the base line method. This method should be useful in scaled production of bacteriophage for biotechnology.

AN - 1563061159; 25045830 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.

AN - 1562663289; 25022580 AB - Daptomycin, a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic, and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) are commonly administered in the inpatient setting and are associated with creatine phosphokinase (CPK) elevations, myalgias, and muscle weakness. Safety data for coadministration of daptomycin with statins are limited. To determine the safety of coadministration of daptomycin with statin therapy, a multicenter, retrospective, observational study was performed at 13 institutions in the Southeastern United States. Forty-nine adult patients receiving statins concurrently with daptomycin were compared with 171 patients receiving daptomycin without statin therapy. Detailed information, including treatment indication and duration, infecting pathogen, baseline and subsequent CPK levels, and presence of myalgias or muscle complaints, was collected. Myalgias were noted in 3/49 (6.1%) patients receiving combination therapy compared with 5/171 (2.9%) of patients receiving daptomycin alone (P = 0.38). CPK elevations of >1,000 U/liter occurred in 5/49 (10.2%) patients receiving combination therapy compared to 9/171 (5.3%) patients receiving daptomycin alone (P = 0.32). Two of five patients experiencing CPK elevations of >1,000 U/liter in the combination group had symptoms of myopathy. Three patients (6.1%) discontinued therapy due to CPK elevations with concurrent myalgias in the combination group versus 6 patients (3.5%) in the daptomycin-alone group (P = 0.42). CPK levels and myalgias reversed upon discontinuation of daptomycin therapy. Overall musculoskeletal toxicity was numerically higher in the combination group but this result was not statistically significant. Further prospective study is warranted in a larger population.

AN - 1561978911; 25217541 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.

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.

Applying temporal, geographic, thematic, and citation algorithms to an archive of more than 21 billion words spanning 1.5 million publications from 7 collections, including the entire contents of JSTOR, DTIC, CORE, CiteSeerX, and the Internet Archiveʼs 1.6 billion PDFs, academic literature is seen to offer a powerful new lens onto global culture. Four case studies demonstrate using this archive to map the Nuer ethnic group and identify its top experts, map the literature on food and water security, explore the thematic underpinnings of the Rwandan genocide, and construct a network over the ethnic groups of the world as seen through the combined academic literature of the past half century.

Over the past few decades, summer areal extent has declined over 30%, and all months show statistically significant declining trends. New satellite missions and techniques have greatly expanded information on sea ice thickness, but many uncertainties remain in the satellite data and long-term records are sparse. However, thickness observations and other satellite-derived data indicate a 40% decline in thickness, due in large part to the loss of thicker, older ice cover. The changes in sea ice are happening faster than models have projected. With continued increasing temperatures, summer ice-free conditions are likely sometime in the coming decades, though there are substantial uncertainties in the exact timing and high interannual variability will remain as sea ice decreases. The changes in Arctic sea ice are already having an impact on flora and fauna in the Arctic. Some species will face increasing challenges in the future, while new habitat will open up for other species. The changes are also affecting people living and working in the Arctic. Native communities are facing challenges to their traditional ways of life, while new opportunities open for shipping, fishing, and natural resource extraction. Significant progress has been made in recent years in understanding of Arctic sea ice and its role in climate, the ecosystem, and human activities. However, significant challenges remain in furthering the knowledge of the processes, impacts, and future evolution of the system. Abstract Copyright (2014), American Geophysical Union.

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.

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 predation, 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.

Utilizing a 6 x 3 within-subject experimental design, 24 normal-hearing Virginia Tech Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets and active duty soldiers participated. 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. 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. 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.

Evaluation and comparison of these methods can aid in the planning of future animal studies, as well as, inform clinical assessments as the engineered scaffolds translate into clinical studies and applications. To evaluate multiple bone assessment techniques, bone regrowth potential of tyrosine-derived polycarbonate (TyrPC) scaffolds loaded with various dosages of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) (0, 10, 25, and 50 mu g) was assessed after 16 weeks in vivo in a rabbit calvarial model. Traditional X-ray radiography and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analyses were used to quantify the volume and density of regenerated bone. Histomorphometric analysis was performed as the traditional gold standard of evaluation. While these techniques are fairly standard in bone tissue engineering, we also investigated 64-slice CT, a tool more commonly used clinically, for comparison and to guide translational efforts. The 64-slice CT scans were carried out at 4 and 16 weeks to monitor temporal bone healing patterns. Study results indicated a clear dose-dependent response of increasing regenerated bone volume with rhBMP-2 loaded on the TyrPC scaffolds after 16 weeks of implantation. Significantly more bone formation was observed at the highest dose of rhBMP-2 (50 mu g), which is 25-50% of the previously recommended dose (100-200 mu g) for this defect. A significant difference was observed between the lowest and highest doses using radiographs (p<0.001), micro-CT (p=0.002), and CT (p<0.001) and a high correlation was found between techniques (R2 values between 0.446 and 0.911). It was found that the number of animals required per group to detect significant dose effects ranged between 6 and 8 for the imaging methods while histomorphometric analysis would require 25 animals per group to detect similar differences (desired power=0.9, alpha =0.05). Radiographic analysis provided quantifiable % defect coverage and radio-opacity, micro-CT provided spatial volumetric and bone density measures, histomorphometry provided biological confirmation, and 64-slice CT allowed for establishing of clinically relevant translational guidelines. These methodologies allow for a standardized and comprehensive description of bone regeneration and provide guidelines for the planning of future preclinical and clinical studies.

The system complexity calls for a transparent and prescriptive approach grounded in creative problem solving, transformative design, and collaborative adaptive management. Here, a spiral-based approach to ecosystem modeling is presented emphasizing system conceptualization while encouraging reflection, active learning, and hypothesis-driven monitoring. A case study on the Missouri River focuses on the development of a conceptual model for the cottonwood forest community lining the banks of this highly regulated river system. Between 2006 and 2010, eighty local stakeholders were engaged in six, week-long interactive workshops to integrate their existing knowledge of the cottonwood ecosystems and to synthesize this information into critical drivers, stressors, and valued ecosystem components using conceptual diagramming and tabular crosswalks. The final product has exposed clear lines of evidence tying essential ecosystem responses to measureable endpoints that are now being used to establish performance measures for both alternative comparisons and adaptive management thresholds that will trigger future management responses.

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.

To improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of lower airways, we studied airflow characteristics in the lung between the 8th and the 14th generations using a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model, where we compared normal and obstructed airways for a range of breathing conditions. We employed a novel technique based on computing the Pearson's correlation coefficient to quantitatively characterize the differences in airflow patterns between the normal and obstructed airways. We found that the airflow patterns demonstrated clear differences between normal and diseased conditions for high expiratory flow rates (>2300ml/s), but not for inspiratory flow rates. Moreover, airflow patterns subjected to filtering demonstrated higher sensitivity than airway resistance for differentiating normal and diseased conditions. Further, we showed that wall shear stresses were not only dependent on breathing rates, but also on the distribution of the obstructed sites in the lung: for the same degree of obstruction and breathing rate, we observed as much as two-fold differences in shear stresses. In contrast to previous studies that suggest increased wall shear stress due to obstructions as a possible damage mechanism for small airways, our model demonstrated that for flow rates corresponding to heavy activities, the wall shear stress in both normal and obstructed airways was <0.3Pa, which is within the physiological limit needed to promote respiratory defense mechanisms. In summary, our model enables the study of airflow characteristics that may be impractical to assess experimentally.

AN - 1557081493; 24907636 AB - E75 (nelipepimut-S) is a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2/A3-restricted immunogenic peptide derived from the HER2 protein. We have conducted phase I/II clinical trials vaccinating breast cancer patients with nelipepimut-S and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in the adjuvant setting to prevent disease recurrence. All patients have completed 60 months follow-up, and here, we report the final analyses. The studies were conducted as dose escalation/schedule optimization trials enrolling node-positive and high-risk node-negative patients with tumors expressing any degree of HER2 (immunohistochemistry 1-3+). HLA-A2/3+ patients were vaccinated; others were followed prospectively as controls. Local and systemic toxicity was monitored. Clinical recurrences were documented, and disease-free survival (DFS) was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves; groups were compared using log-rank tests. Of 195 enrolled patients, 187 were assessable: 108 (57.8%) in the vaccinated group (VG) and 79 (42.2%) in the control group (CG). The groups were well matched for clinicopathologic characteristics. Toxicities were minimal. Five-year DFS was 89.7% in the VG versus 80.2% in the CG (P = 0.08). Due to trial design, 65% of patients received less than the optimal vaccine dose. Five-year DFS was 94.6% in optimally dosed patients (P = 0.05 versus the CG) and 87.1% in suboptimally dosed patients. A voluntary booster program was initiated, and among the 21 patients that were optimally boosted, there was only one recurrence (DFS = 95.2%). The E75 vaccine is safe and appears to have clinical efficacy. A phase III trial evaluating the optimal dose and including booster inoculations has been initiated.

AN - 1552371358; 24951536 AB - In order to achieve chromatographic separation, urine samples shown to be initially positive for amphetamines and methamphetamines in US Department of Defense immunoassays are derivatized with R-(-)-α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride (R-(-)-MTPA) prior to gas chromatography-electron impact-mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS) analysis. Phentermine, a member of the phenethylamine class of drugs and a common appetite suppressant, interferes with GC-EI-MS assays of R-(-)-MTPA-derivatized d-amphetamine, degrading the chromatography of the internal standard and analyte ions and skewing concentration calculations. Additionally, when specimens with high concentrations of l-methamphetamine are derivatized with R-(-)-MTPA, signal peaks have the potential to be misidentified by integration software as d-methamphetamine. We have found that replacing R-(-) MTPA with (S)-(+)-α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride reduces phentermine interference problems related to internal standard chromatography, reduces the possibility of concentrated l-methamphetamine peaks being misidentified by integration software, improves resolution of d-methamphetamine in the presence of high l-methamphetamine concentrations, and is a cost-neutral change that can be applied to current amphetamines GC-EI-MS methods without the need for method modification.

We study vortices that are evident from grain displacements at the start of loading and bear a direct mathematical connection to boundary conditions, uniform continuum strain and shear bands. Motions of three grains in mutual contact, that is, 3-cycles, manifest vortices. In the initial stages of loading, 3-cycles initiate a rotation around a region Omega (super *) where the shear band ultimately develops. This bias sets a course in 3-cycle evolution, determining where they will more likely collapse. A multiscale spatial analysis of 3-cycle temporal evolution provides quantitative evidence that the most stable, persistent 3-cycles degrade preferentially in Omega (super *) , until essentially depleted when the shear band is fully formed. The transition towards a clustered distribution of persistent 3-cycles occurs early in the loading history-and coincides with the persistent localisation of vortices in Omega (super *) . In 3D samples, no evidence of spatial clustering in persistent 3-cycle deaths is found in samples undergoing diffuse failure, while early clustering manifests in a sample that ultimately failed by strain localisation. This study not only delivered insights into the possible structural origins of vortices in dense granular systems but also a tool for the early detection of the mode of failure-localised versus diffuse-a sample will ultimately undergo.

AN - 1554942004; 25019657 AB - One-dimensional materials (1D) capable of transporting liquid droplets directionally, such as spider silks and cactus spines, have recently been gathering scientists' attention due to their potential applications in microfluidics, textile dyeing, filtration, and smog removal. This remarkable property comes from the arrangement of the micro- and nanostructures on these organisms' surfaces, which have inspired chemists to develop methods to prepare surfaces with similar directional liquid transport ability. In this Account, we report our recent progress in understanding how this directional transport works, as well our advances in the design and fabrication of bioinspired 1D materials capable of transporting liquid droplets directionally. To begin, we first discuss some basic theories on droplet directional movement. Then, we discuss the mechanism of directional transport of water droplets on natural spider silks. Upon contact with water droplets, the spider silk undergoes what is known as a wet-rebuilt, which forms periodic spindle-knots and joints. We found that the resulting gradient of Laplace pressure and surface free energy between the spindle-knots and joints account for the cooperative driving forces to transport water droplets directionally. Next, we discuss the directional transport of water droplets on desert cactus. The integration of multilevel structures of the cactus and the resulting integration of multiple functions together allow the cactus spine to transport water droplets continuously from tip to base. Based on our studies of natural spider silks and cactus spines, we have prepared a series of artificial spider silks (A-SSs) and artificial cactus spines (A-CSs) with various methods. By changing the surface roughness and chemical compositions of the artificial spider silks' spindle-knots, or by introducing stimulus-responsive molecules, such as thermal-responsive and photoresponsive molecules, onto the spindle-knots, we can reversibly manipulate the direction of water droplet's movement on the prepared A-SSs. In addition, the A-SSs with nonuniform spindle-knots, such as multilevel sized spindle-knots and gradient spindle-knots, further demonstrate integrated directional transport ability for water droplets. Through mimicking the main principle of cactus spines in transporting water droplets, we were able to fabricate both single and array A-CSs, which are able to transport liquid droplets directionally both in air and under water. Lastly, we demonstrated some applications of this directional liquid transport, from aspects of efficient fog collection to oil/water separation. In addition, we showed some potential applications in smart catalysis, tracer substance enrichment, smog removal, and drug delivery.

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.

GIC surface mass balance (SMB) magnitudes and individual and regional mean conditions and trends (1979-2009) were simulated for all GIC having areas greater or equal to 0.5 km (super 2) in the Northern Hemisphere north of 25 degrees N latitude (excluding the Greenland Ice Sheet). Recent datasets, including the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI; v. 2.0), the NOAA Global Land One-km Base Elevation Project (GLOBE), and the NASA Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) products, together with recent SnowModel developments, allowed relatively high-resolution (1-km horizontal grid; 3-h time step) simulations of GIC surface air temperature, precipitation, sublimation, evaporation, surface runoff, and SMB. Simulated SMB outputs were calibrated against 1422 direct glaciological annual SMB observations of 78 GIC. The overall GIC mean annual and mean summer air temperature, runoff, and SMB loss increased during the simulation period. The cumulative GIC SMB was negative for all regions. The SMB contribution to sea level rise was largest from Alaska and smallest from the Caucasus. On average, the contribution to sea level rise was 0.51 + or - 0.16 mm sea level equivalent (SLE) yr (super -1) for 1979-2009 and approximately 40% higher 0.71 + or - 0.15 mm SLE yr (super -1) for the last decade, 1999-2009.

In winter, it insulates sea ice from cold air temperatures, slowing sea ice growth. From spring to summer, the albedo of snow determines how much insolation is absorbed by the sea ice and underlying ocean, impacting ice melt processes. Knowledge of the contemporary snow depth distribution is essential for estimating sea ice thickness and volume, and for understanding and modeling sea ice thermodynamics in the changing Arctic. This study assesses spring snow depth distribution on Arctic sea ice using airborne radar observations from Operation IceBridge for 2009-2013. Data were validated using coordinated in situ measurements taken in March 2012 during the Bromine, Ozone, and Mercury Experiment (BROMEX) field campaign. We find a correlation of 0.59 and root-mean-square error of 5.8 cm between the airborne and in situ data. Using this relationship and IceBridge snow thickness products, we compared the recent results with data from the 1937, 1954-1991 Soviet drifting ice stations. The comparison shows thinning of the snowpack, from 35.1 + or - 9.4 to 22.2 + or - 1.9 cm in the western Arctic, and from 32.8 + or - 9.4 to 14.5 + or - 1.9 cm in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas. These changes suggest a snow depth decline of 37 + or - 29% in the western Arctic and 56 + or - 33% in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas. Thinning is negatively correlated with the delayed onset of sea ice freezeup during autumn. Abstract Copyright (2014), . American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved.

However, remote-sensing techniques can provide spatially and spectrally contiguous data in a timely manner. For this study, 20 root zone soil moisture maps derived from Landsat images during the growing season were used for the detection of soil boundaries. A split moving-window analysis along two demonstration transects in, respectively, a semi-arid desert and riparian area located in the Middle Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico showed that remotely sensed root zone soil moisture can reveal subsurface trends that can be used to identify soil boundaries that do not have a strong surface expression. Overall, the use of multiple remotely sensed root zone soil moisture and Landsat images for soil boundary delineation shows great promise of becoming a valuable tool in the field of digital soil mapping.

The desert southwest provides a critical asset for the U.S. military--open space. Installations in the desert southwest tend to be much larger than installations in other regions of the nation, with several exceeding 400,000 ha. This open-space asset has allowed the military to historically establish large training areas and ranges on installations and to define expansive air maneuver regions above these ranges and above the vast public lands of other agencies. It also offers critical training and testing areas that are analogs to similar worldwide environments where the military operates. Training and testing activities are conducted in the three-dimensional land and air space that replicates the modern battle space. Land and air space use is highly variable among installations depending on mission requirements. Natural resource management challenges include the large spatial extent of lands and air space under Department of Defense management, highly variable military land-use requirements, significant endangered species regulatory and conservation requirements, encroachment and Base Realignment and Closure requirements, competition for water resources, and climate change. Department of Defense natural resource managers attempt to meet these challenges through interagency cooperative agreements, integrated natural resource management plans, and Department of Defense sustainable range programs.

S. military installations as bioreserves; a case study from Fort Hood, Texas AN - 1618135302; 2014-085156 AB - U.S. military installations increasingly have become de facto bioreserves as the result of legacy and current land uses, urbanization, and historical siting of installations. The relative value of military lands as bioreserves compared to land holdings of other federal agencies is not proportional to total land area. Ironically, a significant reason that U.S. military installations have become important bioreserves is that they were not established with the purpose of conserving or extracting natural resources. This historical factor has resulted in a broad representation of U.S. ecoregions on military lands and largely has shielded those lands from the habitat loss and degradation that has occurred in surrounding regions due to urbanization, agricultural development, and other non-military land uses. Fort Hood, Texas, is used as a case study to illustrate the characteristics of military installations that fit the model for bioreserves as areas for conservation of biological resources and processes in the context of human use of the environment. A major current challenge for management of natural resources on military lands is that the value of U.S. military lands as bioreserves is increasing as surrounding habitats and natural communities continue to be degraded.

In the United Kingdom, nineteenth-century practice was commonly to teach elementary geology to army officer cadets, and in twentieth-century conflicts to deploy a single uniformed geologist as a staff officer within each major regional headquarters, initially leaving terrain analysis to geographers. In Germany, considerably greater use was made of uniformed geologists serving as teams within all theaters of military operation in both world wars, generating a wealth of data now published or accessible in national archives. In the United States, a few military geologists were appointed to serve in uniform in France during World War I, but during World War II, a far greater number were civilians, based within a Military Geology Unit of the U.S. Geological Survey at Washington, D.C. Despite different organizational backgrounds, and irrespective of nationality, military geologists have addressed similar geoscience problems.

It is imperative that military equipment is designed and tested for use in this environment; that soldiers are trained to operate in the desert; and that they can accomplish their missions under the extreme conditions presented by this distinct operating environment. Understanding desert processes and terrain is fundamental to accomplishing these goals. Scientists have long debated demarcation and classification of deserts, considering many measurable factors. However, few have classified deserts in a way that specifically supports the military missions of operating, training, and testing. This research was undertaken to classify deserts using both physical and military variables and to develop a system that examines deserts from a military perspective. A panel of scientists and military officers developed and tested a model of warm and hot desert classification. The robustness of the model was tested at the Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, and the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California. This work is a preliminary step toward a thorough examination of desert training and testing sites and potential conflict areas in desert locations throughout the world.

S. military bases AN - 1618135117; 2014-085150 AB - The United States Army has been a functioning entity for nearly 240 years and throughout those years has faced changing military threats. We focus here on when, where, and why military installations, primarily those of the Army, were created and placed on the landscape, and we examine some of the ways in which their situation changed as the country shifted from a domestic protection stance to a more internationalist projection-oriented operational philosophy. The 1790s, the 1890s, and the 1990s each presented challenges--but of very different types. Were we responding to external or internal threats? What were the needs of the era? Were they focused on material production, on leadership and training, on protecting our coastlines, on protecting travel routes within the country, or on preparing to project force hundreds or thousands of miles outside the United States? At one time, one or more of these differing concerns were the driving reasons behind the establishment of a military installation. The current "landscape" of installations reflects a response to these differing threats across our entire nation's history. This is why the U.S. Defense Department has recently been reviewing the inventory of military bases, to determine if they are all still relevant and useful. Do we now have too many or too few installations? Or, are they in the wrong place to answer the current and emerging threats? Finally, what happens when an installation is believed to no longer be needed? When and how may an installation be converted to another life?

Fundamental geographic factors such as radiation balance, wind and dust, and unique terrain have affected the outcome of desert campaigns and battles throughout history. While the scientific community understands desert geography, the fundamental effects of environmental factors on military operations are rarely well known or understood. Some level of understanding is necessary to provide context for researchers solving military problems. The purpose of this paper is to offer a military context for the work in this volume. This study provides a brief summary of the influences selected environmental factors may have on modern military forces operating in hot desert environments. In particular, this research examines the effects of unique desert terrain, aeolian processes and dust, and radiation balance with regard to troops, equipment, and tactics; historical and modern examples illustrate these effects.

S. Army material testing AN - 1618135032; 2014-085155 AB - Airborne dust suppression is of critical importance to military operations conducted in desert environments. Airborne dust is commonly generated in the desert by surface and near-surface operations during operational, testing, and training missions. Currently, there is no standardized procedure for testing dust suppressants, and the U.S. military lacks a specific test operations procedure (TOP) designed to provide realistic testing of the performance and durability of commercial products sold for dust abatement. The primary purpose of this study is to provide recommendations for the future development of a TOP for testing dust suppressants applied to desert soils. Recommendations were developed from the evaluation of a polyvinyl-based synthetic polymer as a dust suppressant, which was tested at four test intervals over a 19-week period in the late spring and summer of 2008 at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground. The dust suppressant was applied at three separate test sites having different surface characteristics and soil properties ranging from loose, sandy gravel to gravelly sand, alluvial-fan soils to soft, sandy-silt, alluvial-plain soils. Each test site was subjected to a variety of traffic impact types consisting of an increasing number of cumulative passes by different vehicle types--including a low-flying helicopter, a light-weight armored tracked vehicle, and heavy-, medium-, and lightweight wheeled vehicles, plus pedestrian foot traffic. In addition to the sites of traffic impact, three types of control plots were concurrently tested to act as reference sites, as well as to evaluate the longevity of the suppressant, which included: disturbed and static (undisturbed) baseline plots and a static benchline plot. Surface soil and dust-suppressant physical properties were measured following each traffic impact in the form of shear strength and bearing capacity, plus dust-emission flux as measured by a Portable In Situ Wind ERosion Laboratory (PI-SWERL). Results from this study show that dust-emission flux and surface-strength measurements from a layout of control and traffic impact test plots provide a quantifiable and repeatable approach in measuring the efficacy of a dust suppressant for a TOP used by the U.S. Army.

In addition, feedbacks among (1) nearshore bathymetry, (2) waves and nearshore circulation, and (3) underlying geology directly affect the morphology of the adjacent beach as well as the shoreline"s response to storm events, resulting in localized erosional "hotspots." These hotspots are potentially hazardous for equipment and personnel staging along the beach, but they are not easily identifiable from a time-series of aerial photographs alone. We identify several environmental metrics necessary for the reliable prediction of potential coastal landing and staging hazards, including: (1) nearshore bathymetric gradients, (2) nearshore sediment volume, and (3) changes in shoreline and vegetation line position. Coupled with a quantitative understanding of the relevant coastal processes, these data allow an assessment of potential nearshore bathymetric hazards and realistic predictions of short-term shoreline stability and thus suitability for the temporary staging of equipment and personnel. These metrics are applied to Onslow Beach, North Carolina, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the largest amphibious training ground in the United States, and they are used to identify potential amphibious transit and staging hazards along the entire coastal zone, from the beach out to approximately 11 m water depth.

Floods are likely to be particularly important in dryland channels, and riparian vegetation exerts a strong influence on channel processes and form. Land managers working in dryland channel networks particularly need to answer the following questions: What is stable? What is the role of disturbance? How do ecosystems depend on physical form and process? This paper explores methods for determining thresholds and resiliency within a channel network and suggests metrics that can be used to assess the condition of a channel segment or entire drainage network relative to management goals. The management metrics focus on flow regime, sediment supply, bed grain size, bedform configuration, width/depth ratio, bed gradient, channel planform, and extent and type of riparian vegetation. For each of these metrics, geological, historical, and systematic records can be used to define the natural range of variability for a particular channel form in the absence of direct land-use impacts. The range of variability present under land use such as military training activities can then be compared to the natural range to assess whether these activities are negatively affecting the dryland channel network. The Yuma Wash drainage in the Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, is used as a case study.

AN - 1618134902; 2014-085164 AB - Military lands are among the last places most people would list as being pristine. Withdrawn for training and testing, they are tucked away from public exploration, and the results of this isolation have been unexpected: The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) harbors more rare, threatened, and endangered species on its lands than any other landowner. Despite the vast acreage held in other public ownership, it is the combination of the "tragedy of the commons," too little funding, and a multi-use mandate that have been the downfall of biodiversity on most non-DOD public lands. Simultaneously, private landowners permanently alter remaining lands at increasing rates. By these processes, the U.S. DOD is now in the position of being capstone stewards. Thus begins an exploration into the question: Does wilderness exist on military installations? In the United States, motorized vehicles are prohibited in federally designated wilderness. On military bases, there are areas where no vehicles may go, such as active air-ground impact areas. If a bomb falls where no tires tread, is it wilderness? The Korean demilitarized zone represents another example of the impact of human conflict and use, or nonuse. Here, the legacy of military actions has unexpectedly created an ecological refuge. Closer to home in the Mojave Desert of California, the juxtaposition of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center and Joshua Tree National Park offers direct comparison between a landscape where people are prohibited and a landscape where people are encouraged. This paper is about the way in which we came to such an unexpected place by examining the trade-off between lands off-limits to civilians, and those where people are encouraged, with the benefits realized from keeping "out," drawing on examples from the United States and abroad. The objective is to stimulate lively discussion without necessarily coming to a right/ wrong determination or judge whether or not credit is due.

Based on shoreline features such as barrier bars, wave-cut benches, and beach gravel deposits, the playas of Mud Lake, Gold Flat, and Kawich Lake contained pluvial lakes. Based on fossils, palustral clay sediments, paleospring, and seep deposits, the playas of Stonewall Flat, Indian Springs Valley, and Three Lakes Valley contained extensive wetlands. Two playas in Cactus Flat and one at Dog Bone Lake contain none of these surface deposits and are interpreted to have hosted seasonal lakes and grassy meadows, based on modern analogs in the Pahranagat Valley. Radiocarbon dates from Mud Lake, Gold Flat, and Stonewall Flat indicate these environments existed up to the beginning of the Holocene ca. 10,000 years before present (yr B.P.) and would have provided resources of fresh water, fish and game, edible and medicinal plants, fuel, and materials for the construction of shelter. As changing climate conditions from 10,000-8000 radiocarbon yr B.P. forced the contraction and eventual disappearance of these lakes and wetlands, basins with larger surface water budgets probably furnished early inhabitants with useful resources after the pluvial features in the smaller basins had disappeared.

The crusts are highly susceptible to disturbance. The degree of perturbation is governed, at least in part, by the nature, intensity, and spatial and temporal distribution of the disturbance, as well as the soil type and soil moisture content at the time of disturbance. When disturbed, biological soil crusts lose their capacity to perform their ecological functions. Natural recovery of disturbed crusts can range from several years to millennia. Several strategies have been attempted to accelerate recovery of crusts. At present, artificial recovery is not economically feasible on large tracts of disturbed desert landscape. Management options available to the military on arid landscapes include: (1) eliminating or minimizing training in desert ecosystems, (2) avoiding critical seasons, (3) avoiding critical areas, (4) artificially restoring damaged crusts, and (5) considering desert training lands as "sacrifice areas." Given the need to train in environments representative of the locations of many current and projected world conflicts, the first option is untenable. At this time, the most plausible alternative is to consider desert training lands as "sacrifice areas." However, it is recommended that attempts be made to avoid critical seasons and areas inasmuch as logistically feasible, and that the military continue to support research into the development of cost-effective technologies for biological soil crust restoration.

The complex geology in this country includes active tectonics and mountain ranges. Afghanistan is subdivided into three distinct hydrogeological areas: the Central Highlands, the Northern Plain, and the Great Southern Plain. Most groundwater is located in the Central Highlands, where water of sufficient quantity to meet the needs of the population is available primarily by digging wells into unconsolidated alluvial aquifers located in mountain valleys. A lack of sustainable, high-quality water supplies can have a negative impact on the ability to conduct military operations. An understanding of hydrogeological conditions is required in order to minimize exposures to natural and anthropogenic sources of contamination that may pose either acute or chronic health risks to military forces. This same scarcity of potable water can have a negative impact on the local population.

The world that we live in today causes us to rethink this idea as the realities of today's defense missions take shape. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are part of what is reshaping our image of national defense, but also emerging is the recognition that large-scale environmental degradation manifests security threats that can be global in scope. This paper examines this issue in the context of environmental security analysis. Although, the security implication of climate change is the issue that has brought new focus to this concept, this one environmental calamity is not the only environmental security challenge we will face in the future. The paper outlines an approach to analyzing environmental security threats on a regional and world scale. It is a fusion of science, political science, and strategic defense analysis. The product of this work is an environmental security analytical model. The secondary value of this paper is to advance the debate and discussion of environmental security as a fundamental component of strategic defense analysis.

Not only does dust cause maintenance problems and slow offensive ground operations, but it can also substantially disrupt air operations. This paper presents a historic vignette of how a dust storm contributed to the failure of Operation Eagle Claw, the mission undertaken to rescue U.S. hostages in Iran in 1980. The flight crews that were involved in that mission encountered a dust storm that was likely generated by thunderstorm activity in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. Weather forecasters were aware that dust storms were a possibility in the region, but they did not forecast haboobs. The pilots were expecting clear weather and had no contingency plans to cope with the adverse weather conditions. The dust storm caused confusion, slowed the helicopters, and greatly increased pilot fatigue. These factors appeared to have contributed to mission failure, and, as a result, the U.S. military later implemented many improvements in mission planning, pilot training, and weather forecasting techniques to manage the risk associated with operations in areas where dust storms are likely.

These gullies have depths up to several meters, which can restrict the mobility of troops and vehicles during training exercises. They also have the potential to grow in size, which can degrade training lands. At the upstream end, gullies usually begin with an abrupt headwall, and in the downstream direction, gullies also tend to terminate abruptly. In this paper, we hypothesize that the small extent of convective storms and significant transmission losses in channels promote the downstream disappearance of gullies. The role of these factors is tested by applying a geomorphic model in which storms occur within circular portions of the simulation domain and channel flow is lost to seepage up to a specified infiltration or seepage capacity in each grid cell. The net effect of these processes is to reduce the sediment transport capacity in the downstream direction relative to the case with an infinite storm size and no channel losses. The reduced sediment capacity alters the relationship between slope and drainage area for topographies at equilibrium. In addition, limited storm sizes can also produce disconnected areas of incision within generally depositional portions of the landscape.

A better understanding of the metabolic processes required during the asexual blood-stage reproduction will enhance our basic knowledge of P. falciparumand help identify critical metabolic reactions and pathways associated with blood-stage malaria. We developed a metabolic network model that mechanistically links time-dependent gene expression, metabolism, and stage-specific growth, allowing us to predict the metabolic fluxes, the biomass production rates, and the timing of production of the different biomass components during the IDC. We predicted time- and stage-specific production of precursors and macromolecules for P. falciparum(strain HB3), allowing us to link specific metabolites to specific physiological functions. For example, we hypothesized that coenzyme A might be involved in late-IDC DNA replication and cell division. Moreover, the predicted ATP metabolism indicated that energy was mainly produced from glycolysis and utilized for non-metabolic processes. Finally, we used the model to classify the entire tricarboxylic acid cycle into segments, each with a distinct function, such as superoxide detoxification, glutamate/glutamine processing, and metabolism of fumarate as a byproduct of purine biosynthesis. By capturing the normal metabolic and growth progression in P. falciparumduring the IDC, our model provides a starting point for further elucidation of strain-specific metabolic activity, host-parasite interactions, stress-induced metabolic responses, and metabolic responses to antimalarial drugs and drug candidates.

Biofilms are associated with chronic infections and represent a tremendous clinical challenge. As antibiotics are often ineffective against biofilms, use of dispersal agents as adjunctive, topical therapies for the treatment of wound infections involving biofilms has gained interest. We evaluated in vitro the dispersive activity of d-amino acids (d-AAs) on biofilms from clinical wound isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa; moreover, we determined whether combinations of d-AAs and antibiotics (clindamycin, cefazolin, oxacillin, rifampin, and vancomycin for S. aureus and amikacin, colistin, ciprofloxacin, imipenem, and ceftazidime for P. aeruginosa) enhance activity against biofilms. d-Met, d-Phe, and d-Trp at concentrations of greater than or equal to 5 mM effectively dispersed preformed biofilms of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa clinical isolates, an effect that was enhanced when they were combined as an equimolar mixture (d-Met/d-Phe/d-Trp). When combined with d-AAs, the activity of rifampin was significantly enhanced against biofilms of clinical isolates of S. aureus, as indicated by a reduction in the minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) (from 32 to 8 mu g/ml) and a >2-log reduction of viable biofilm bacteria compared to treatment with antibiotic alone. The addition of d-AAs was also observed to enhance the activity of colistin and ciprofloxacin against biofilms of P. aeruginosa, reducing the observed MBIC and the number of viable bacteria by >2 logs and 1 log at 64 and 32 mu g/ml in contrast to antibiotics alone. These findings indicate that the biofilm dispersal activity of d-AAs may represent an effective strategy, in combination with antimicrobials, to release bacteria from biofilms, subsequently enhancing antimicrobial activity.

We hypothesized that it may also mediate virulence through inhibition of the host's immune responses. During an infection, the capsule exists attached to the bacterial surface but also free in the host tissues. We sought to examine the impact of free capsule by assessing its effects on human monocytes and immature dendritic cells (iDCs). Human monocytes were differentiated into iDCs by interleukin-4 (IL-4) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) over 7 days in the presence of capsule derived from wild-type encapsulated B. anthracis Ames (WT) or a control preparation from an isogenic B. anthracis Ames strain that produces only 2% of the capsule of the WT (capA mutant). WT capsule consistently induced release of IL-8 and IL-6 while the capA mutant control preparation elicited either no response or only a minimal release of IL-8. iDCs that were differentiated in the presence of WT capsule had increased side scatter (SSC), a measure of cellular complexity, when assessed by flow cytometry. iDCs differentiated in the presence of WT capsule also matured less well in response to subsequent B. anthracis peptidoglycan (Ba PGN) exposure, with reduced upregulation of the chemokine receptor CCR7, reduced CCR7-dependent chemotaxis, and reduced release of certain cytokines. Exposure of naive differentiated control iDCs to WT capsule did not alter cell surface marker expression but did elicit IL-8. These results indicate that free capsule may contribute to the pathogenesis of anthrax by suppressing the responses of immune cells and interfering with the maturation of iDCs.

It represents a truly non-invasive closed-head injury caused by a blunt impact. The original design, however, has several drawbacks that limit the manipulation of injury parameters. The present study describes engineering advancements made to the PCI injury model including helmet material testing, projectile impact energy/head kinematics and impact location. Material testing indicated that among the tested materials, 'fiber-glass/carbon' had the lowest elastic modulus and yield stress for providing an relative high percentage of load transfer from the projectile impact, resulting in significant hippocampal astrocyte activation. Impact energy testing of small projectiles, ranging in shape and size, showed the steel sphere produced the highest impact energy and the most consistent impact characteristics. Additional tests confirmed the steel sphere produced linear and rotational motions on the rat's head while remaining within a range that meets the criteria for mTBI. Finally, impact location testing results showed that PCI targeted at the temporoparietal surface of the rat head produced the most prominent gait abnormalities. Using the parameters defined above, pilot studies were conducted to provide initial validation of the PCI model demonstrating quantifiable and significant increases in righting reflex recovery time, axonal damage and astrocyte activation following single and multiple concussions.

AN - 1551026256; 24978939 AB - The toxicity of dichlorvos (DDVP), an organophosphate (OP) pesticide, classically results from modification of the serine in the active sites of cholinesterases. However, DDVP also forms adducts on unrelated targets such as transferrin and albumin, suggesting that DDVP could cause perturbations in cellular processes by modifying noncholinesterase targets. Here we identify novel DDVP-modified targets in lysed human hepatocyte-like cells (HepaRG) using a direct liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) assay of cell lysates incubated with DDVP or using a competitive pull-down experiments with a biotin-linked organophosphorus compound (10-fluoroethoxyphosphinyl-N-biotinamidopentyldecanamide; FP-biotin), which competes with DDVP for similar binding sites. We show that DDVP forms adducts to several proteins important for the cellular metabolic pathways and differentiation, including glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and actin. We validated the results using purified proteins and enzymatic assays. The study not only identified novel DDVP-modified targets but also suggested that the modification directly inhibits the enzymes. The current approach provides information for future hypothesis-based studies to understand the underlying mechanism of toxicity of DDVP in non-neuronal tissues.

AN - 1549633505; 24913163 AB - Hematotoxicity in individuals genetically deficient in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity is the major limitation of primaquine (PQ), the only antimalarial drug in clinical use for treatment of relapsing Plasmodium vivax malaria. PQ is currently clinically used in its racemic form. A scalable procedure was developed to resolve racemic PQ, thus providing pure enantiomers for the first time for detailed preclinical evaluation and potentially for clinical use. These enantiomers were compared for antiparasitic activity using several mouse models and also for general and hematological toxicities in mice and dogs. (+)-(S)-PQ showed better suppressive and causal prophylactic activity than (-)-(R)-PQ in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei. Similarly, (+)-(S)-PQ was a more potent suppressive agent than (-)-(R)-PQ in a mouse model of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. However, at higher doses, (+)-(S)-PQ also showed more systemic toxicity for mice. In beagle dogs, (+)-(S)-PQ caused more methemoglobinemia and was toxic at 5 mg/kg of body weight/day given orally for 3 days, while (-)-(R)-PQ was well tolerated. In a novel mouse model of hemolytic anemia associated with human G6PD deficiency, it was also demonstrated that (-)-(R)-PQ was less hemolytic than (+)-(S)-PQ for the G6PD-deficient human red cells engrafted in the NOD-SCID mice. All these data suggest that while (+)-(S)-PQ shows greater potency in terms of antiparasitic efficacy in rodents, it is also more hematotoxic than (-)-(R)-PQ in mice and dogs. Activity and toxicity differences of PQ enantiomers in different species can be attributed to their different pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles. Taken together, these studies suggest that (-)-(R)-PQ may have a better safety margin than the racemate in human. Copyright © 2014, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.

AN - 1547543220; 24887324 AB - Opiates are an important component for drug testing due to their high abuse potential. Proper urine opiate interpretation includes ruling out poppy seed ingestion; however, detailed elimination studies after controlled poppy seed administration with known morphine and codeine doses are not available. Therefore, we investigated urine opiate pharmacokinetics after controlled oral administration of uncooked poppy seeds with known morphine and codeine content. Participants were administered two 45 g oral poppy seed doses 8 h apart, each containing 15.7 mg morphine and 3mg codeine. Urine was collected ad libitum up to 32 h after the first dose. Specimens were analyzed with the Roche Opiates II immunoassay at 2000 and 300 μg/L cutoffs, and the ThermoFisher CEDIA(®) heroin metabolite (6-acetylmorphine, 6-AM) and Lin-Zhi 6-AM immunoassays with 10 μg/L cutoffs to determine if poppy seed ingestion could produce positive results in these heroin marker assays. In addition, all specimens were quantified for morphine and codeine by GC/MS. Participants (N=22) provided 391 urine specimens over 32 h following dosing; 26.6% and 83.4% were positive for morphine at 2000 and 300 μg/L GC/MS cutoffs, respectively. For the 19 subjects who completed the study, morphine concentrations ranged from <300 to 7522 μg/L with a median peak concentration of 5239 μg/L. The median first morphine-positive urine sample at 2000 μg/L cutoff concentration occurred at 6.6 h (1.2-12.1), with the last positive from 2.6 to 18 h after the second dose. No specimens were positive for codeine at a cutoff concentration of 2000 μg/L, but 20.2% exceeded 300 μg/L, with peak concentrations of 658 μg/L (284-1540). The Roche Opiates II immunoassay had efficiencies greater than 96% for the 2000 and 300 μg/L cutoffs. The CEDIA 6-AM immunoassay had a specificity of 91%, while the Lin-Zhi assay had no false positive results. These data provide valuable information for interpreting urine opiate results.

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. Adapted from the source document.

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.

Two doses were administered 6 months apart to 120 healthy, predominantly flavivirus-primed adults (87.5% and 97.5% in the two vaccine groups and 92.5% in the placebo group). Symptoms and signs reported after vaccination were mild to moderate and transient. There were no vaccine-related serious adverse events or dengue cases reported. Asymptomatic, low-level viremia (dengue virus type 2 [DENV-2], DENV-3, or DENV-4) was detected in 5 of 80 vaccine recipients. One placebo recipient developed a subclinical natural DENV-1 infection. All flavivirus-unprimed subjects and at least 97.1% of flavivirus-primed subjects were seropositive to antibodies against all four DENV types 1 and 3 months post-TDEN dose 2. The TDEN vaccine was immunogenic with an acceptable safety profile in flavivirus-primed adults.

Theories such as transformational, ethical, authentic, and other "newer genre" theories were created to address neglected topics such as leader vision and inspirational messages, transparency, emotional effects, morality, individualized attention, and intellectual stimulation. Critiques of these theories, however, have been raised. In this paper, we address five of those critiques and argue for the validity and practical effectiveness of the new genre theories. Further, we describe how newer genre leadership research should be viewed as a performative epistemology, entailing a process of co-creation involving scholars and practitioners. Finally, from this view, we provide general ideas for leader development.

The pillar indentation modulus and hardness are measured ex situ as-fabricated, in situ during lithiation at two different potentials (or stages of lithiation, 50 mV and 10 mV), and in situ after delithiation at 2 V. The measured modulus of the pristine amorphous silicon nanopillars was 74.7 + or - 12.1 GPa. The hardness of the pristine pillars depended on depth and the contact conditions. In general, the mechanical properties of the nanopillars decreased with increased degrees of lithiation and only partially recovered upon delithiation. The inability of the silicon to recover the as fabricated mechanical properties indicates overall degradation of the pillar during only one lithiation-delithiation cycle, which could only be directly measured in situ using the employed atomic force microscopy based technique.

AN - 1549630857; 24741084 AB - Budding of filoviruses, arenaviruses, and rhabdoviruses is facilitated by subversion of host proteins, such as Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligase, by viral PPxY late (L) budding domains expressed within the matrix proteins of these RNA viruses. As L domains are important for budding and are highly conserved in a wide array of RNA viruses, they represent potential broad-spectrum targets for the development of antiviral drugs. To identify potential competitive blockers, we used the known Nedd4 WW domain-PPxY interaction interface as the basis of an in silico screen. Using PPxY-dependent budding of Marburg (MARV) VP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) as our model system, we identified small-molecule hit 1 that inhibited Nedd4-PPxY interaction and PPxY-dependent budding. This lead candidate was subsequently improved with additional structure-activity relationship (SAR) analog testing which enhanced antibudding activity into the nanomolar range. Current lead compounds 4 and 5 exhibit on-target effects by specifically blocking the MARV VP40 PPxY-host Nedd4 interaction and subsequent PPxY-dependent egress of MARV VP40 VLPs. In addition, lead compounds 4 and 5 exhibited antibudding activity against Ebola and Lassa fever VLPs, as well as vesicular stomatitis and rabies viruses (VSV and RABV, respectively). These data provide target validation and suggest that inhibition of the PPxY-Nedd4 interaction can serve as the basis for the development of a novel class of broad-spectrum, host-oriented antivirals targeting viruses that depend on a functional PPxY L domain for efficient egress. There is an urgent and unmet need for the development of safe and effective therapeutics against biodefense and high-priority pathogens, including filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg) and arenaviruses (e.g., Lassa and Junin) which cause severe hemorrhagic fever syndromes with high mortality rates. We along with others have established that efficient budding of filoviruses, arenaviruses, and other viruses is critically dependent on the subversion of host proteins. As disruption of virus budding would prevent virus dissemination, identification of small-molecule compounds that block these critical viral-host interactions should effectively block disease progression and transmission. Our findings provide validation for targeting these virus-host interactions as we have identified lead inhibitors with broad-spectrum antiviral activity. In addition, such inhibitors might prove useful for newly emerging RNA viruses for which no therapeutics would be available. Copyright © 2014, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.

1547865210; 20207789 AB - In combination with antibiotics, quinine is recommended as the second-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria, an alternative first-line treatment for severe malaria, and for treatment of malaria in the first trimester of pregnancy. Quinine has been shown to have frequent clinical failures, and yet the mechanisms of action and resistance have not been fully elucidated. However, resistance is linked to polymorphisms in multiple genes, including multidrug resistance 1 (Pfmdr1), the chloroquine resistance transporter (Pfcrt), and the sodium/hydrogen exchanger gene (Pfnhe1). Here, we investigated the association between in vitro quinine susceptibility and genetic polymorphisms in Pfmdr1codons 86 and 184, Pfcrt codon 76, and Pfnhe1 ms4760 in 88 field isolates from western Kenya. In vitro activity was assessed based on the drug concentration that inhibited 50% of parasite growth (the IC50), and parasite genetic polymorphisms were determined from DNA sequencing. Data revealed there were significant associations between polymorphism in Pfmdr1-86Y, Pfmdr1-184F, or Pfcrt-76T and quinine susceptibility (P < 0.0001 for all three associations). Eighty-two percent of parasites resistant to quinine carried mutant alleles at these codons (Pfmdr1-86Y, Pfmdr1-184F, and Pfcrt-76T), whereas 74% of parasites susceptible to quinine carried the wild-type allele (Pfmdr1-N86, Pfmdr1-Y184, and Pfcrt-K76, respectively). In addition, quinine IC50 values for parasites with Pfnhe1 ms4760 3 DNNND repeats were significantly higher than for those with 1 or 2 repeats (P = 0.033 and P = 0.0043, respectively). Clinical efficacy studies are now required to confirm the validity of these markers and the importance of parasite genetic background.

The cytotoxicity of 10 mmol L(-1) HEMA, 10 mmol L(-1) HEMA + 1 mmol L(-1) GSH, 10 mmol L(-1) HEMA + 5 mmol L(-1) GSH and 10 mmol L(-1) HEMA + 10 mmol L(-1) GSH was compared (6 h and 24 h). Cells viability was measured by means of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, followed by morphological observation of cells. Etched-dentine surfaces were rinsed and treated with one of the following solutions: 2% GSH, 5% GSH or 10% GSH, bonded with Adper Single Bond Plus (3M, ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) and restored with resin composite. The control group received no GSH treatment. After 1 day of water-storage at 37 °C, the specimens were subjected to μTBS testing. Cytotoxicity and μTBS data were analysed by one-way anova and Tukey post hoc tests (P < 0.05). There were significant differences between the groups. HEMA elicited a remarkable toxic effect. 10 mmol L(-1) GSH prevented HEMA-induced damage at both exposure times. Whilst 5 mmol L(-1) GSH lost its protective effect at 24-h exposure time and 1 mmol L(-1) GSH showed no protective effect at both exposure times, GSH had no significant effect on the immediate μTBS; however, 5% GSH had higher bond strength value when compared to 10% GSH (P = 0.003). Controlled concentrations of GSH had a protective effect against HEMA cytotoxicity. GSH had neither positive nor negative influence on μTBS. © 2013 International Endodontic Journal.

AN - 1534790718; 24742624 AB - The impact of pregnancy on the course of Crohn disease is largely unknown. Retrospective surveys have suggested a variable effect, but there are limited population-based clinical data. We hypothesized pregnant women with Crohn disease will have similar rates of surgical disease as a nonpregnant Crohn disease cohort. International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes were used to identify female Crohn patients from all patients admitted using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (1998-2009). Women were stratified as either pregnant or nonpregnant. We defined Crohn-related surgical disease as peritonitis, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, intra-abdominal abscess, toxic colitis, anorectal suppuration, intestinal-intestinal fistulas, intestinal-genitourinary fistulas, obstruction and/or stricture, or perforation (excluding appendicitis). Of the 92,335 women admitted with a primary Crohn-related diagnosis, 265 (0.3%) were pregnant. Pregnant patients were younger (29 versus 44 y; P<0.001) and had lower rates of tobacco use (6% versus 13%; P<0.001). Pregnant women with Crohn disease had higher rates of intestinal-genitourinary fistulas (23.4% versus 3.0%; P<0.001), anorectal suppuration (21.1% versus 4.1%; P<0.001), and overall surgical disease (59.6% versus 39.2%; P<0.001). On multivariate logistic regression analysis controlling for malnutrition, smoking, age, and prednisone use, pregnancy was independently associated with higher rates of anorectal suppuration (odds ratio [OR], 5.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.8-7.0; P<0.001), intestinal-genitourinary fistulas (OR, 10.4; 95% CI, 7.8-13.8; P<0.001), and overall surgical disease (OR, 2.9; 95% CI, 2.3-3.7; P<0.001). Pregnancy in women with Crohn disease is a significant risk factor for Crohn-related surgical disease, in particular, anorectal suppuration and intestinal-genitourinary fistulas.

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.

AN - 1510404527; 24582361 AB - In benthic sediment bioassays, determining the relative contribution to exposure by contaminants in overlying water, porewater, and sediment particles is technically challenging. The purpose of the present study was to assess the potential for membranes to be utilized as a mechanism to allow freely dissolved hydrophobic organic contaminants into a pathway isolation exposure chamber (PIC) while excluding all sediment particles and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). This investigation was conducted in support of a larger effort to assess contaminant exposure pathways to benthos. While multiple passive samplers exist for estimating concentrations of contaminants in porewater such as those using solid-phase micro extraction (SPME) and polyoxymethylene (POM), techniques to effectively isolate whole organism exposure to porewater within a sediment system are not available. We tested the use of four membranes of different pore sizes (0.1-1.2μm) including nylon, polycarbonate, polyethylsulfone, and polytetrafluoroethylene with a hydrophilic coating. Exposures included both diffusion of radiolabeled and non-labeled contaminants across membranes from aqueous, sediment slurry, and whole sediment sources to assess and evaluate the best candidate membrane. Data generated from the present study was utilized to select the most suitable membrane for use in the larger bioavailability project which sought to assess the relevance of functional ecology in bioavailability of contaminated sediments at remediation sites. The polytetrafluoroethylene membrane was selected for use in the PIC, although exclusion of dissolved organic carbon was not achieved. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Common landslide monitoring techniques include: inclinometers, global position system (GPS), and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR). While these techniques provide valuable data for monitoring landslides, they can be difficult to apply with adequate spatial or temporal resolution needed to understand complex landslides, specifically in forested environments. Comparison of the center coordinates (determined via least-squares fit of the TLS data) of a cross section of the tree trunk between consecutive surveys enable quantification of landslide movement rates, which can be used to analyze patterns of landslide displacement. The capabilities of this new methodology were tested through a case-study analyzing the Johnson Creek Landslide, a complex, quick moving coastal landslide, which has proven difficult to monitor using other techniques. A parametric analysis of fitting thresholds was also conducted to determine the reliability of tree trunk displacements calculated and the number of features that were extracted. The optimal parameters in selecting trees for movement analysis were found to be less than 1.5cm for the RMS residuals of the circle fit and less than 1.0cm for the difference in the calculated tree radii between epochs.

Deployment of PIT reader arrays at entrances to caves and mines can yield insight into bat behavior during swarming, winter activity, and emergence. This application has the potential to address questions about bat activity at cave and mine entrances in response to white-nose syndrome or bat seasonal movements; however, no studies have examined the response of bats to these arrays. We describe bat response to placement of PIT tag reader arrays using camcorders and supplemental infrared illuminators at three cave entrances near Bloomington, Indiana, during spring 2006. A random subset of 5-min periods was viewed and bat behavior was classified. Circling represented >70% of all behavior noted for two caves but only represented approximately 30% of behavior at the third cave. Proportions of observed activity that resulted in contacts or landings were consistently low across the three caves (x = 1.34%; range 0.5-3.0%), with most contacts causing bats to simply change course and fly away. Based on our observations, positioning reader PIT tag reader arrays at cave entrances to passively recapture PIT tags does not limit bat movements. However, video monitoring during initial sampling efforts of future projects should be conducted to verify appropriate placement and configuration of PIT tag reader arrays. This research provides data illustrating the lack of significant impact in using PIT tag reader arrays at cave entrances, thereby opening up the potential use of this technology to address issues of bats ecology that cannot be obtained with other marking techniques.

Sites first measured in 1952-1955 are revisited, showing long-term trends in firn temperature. Results indicate a pattern of substantial firn warming (up to +5.7 degree C) at midlevel elevations (1400-2500m) and little temperature change at high elevations (>2500m). We find that latent heat transport into the firn due to meltwater percolation drives the observed warming. Modeling shows that heat is stored at depth for several years, and energy delivered from consecutive melt events accumulates in the firn. The observed warming is likely not yet in equilibrium with recent melt production rates but captures the progression of sites in the percolation facies toward net runoff production. Key Points * Substantial warming is observed in Greenland ice sheet firn since the 1950s * Warming is driven by increases in meltwater percolation * Firn temperature changes highlight progress toward runoff production JF - Geophysical Research Letters AU - Polashenski, Chris AU - Courville, Zoe AU - Benson, Carl AU - Wagner, Anna AU - Chen, Justin AU - Wong, Gifford AU - Hawley, Robert AU - Hall, Dorothy AD - U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Fort Wainwright, Alaska, USA.

Prototype ship motions and environmental data were obtained in May 1999 in the deep-draft entrance channel at Barbers Point, HI. These field measurements were reproduced in controlled laboratory studies in 2000 and 2002 with a model of the World Utility (WU) bulk carrier. These measurements constitute some of the data being used to validate the Corps's Channel Analysis and Design Evaluation Tool (CADET), a suite of programs to determine the optimum dredge depth for entrance channels. In general, the CADET predictions matched the field and laboratory measurements within cm-accuracy for wave heights that ranged from 45 cm to 75 cm.

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.

AN - 1541374555; 24967809 AB - Alphaviruses present serious health threats as emerging and re-emerging viruses. Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), a New World alphavirus, can cause encephalitis in humans and horses, but there are no therapeutics for treatment. To date, compounds reported as anti-VEEV or anti-alphavirus inhibitors have shown moderate activity. To discover new classes of anti-VEEV inhibitors with novel viral targets, we used a high-throughput screen based on the measurement of cell protection from live VEEV TC-83-induced cytopathic effect to screen a 340,000 compound library. Of those, we identified five novel anti-VEEV compounds and chose a quinazolinone compound, CID15997213 (IC50 = 0.84 µM), for further characterization. The antiviral effect of CID15997213 was alphavirus-specific, inhibiting VEEV and Western equine encephalitis virus, but not Eastern equine encephalitis virus. In vitro assays confirmed inhibition of viral RNA, protein, and progeny synthesis. No antiviral activity was detected against a select group of RNA viruses. We found mutations conferring the resistance to the compound in the N-terminal domain of nsP2 and confirmed the target residues using a reverse genetic approach. Time of addition studies showed that the compound inhibits the middle stage of replication when viral genome replication is most active. In mice, the compound showed complete protection from lethal VEEV disease at 50 mg/kg/day. Collectively, these results reveal a potent anti-VEEV compound that uniquely targets the viral nsP2 N-terminal domain. While the function of nsP2 has yet to be characterized, our studies suggest that the protein might play a critical role in viral replication, and further, may represent an innovative opportunity to develop therapeutic interventions for alphavirus infection.

The contribution of host immune factors to pathogenesis has yet to be determined and may reveal efficacious targets for potential treatment. In this study, we show that the interleukin (IL)-10 signaling pathway modulates Ebola pathogenesis. IL-10-/- mice and wild-type mice receiving antisense targeting IL-10 signaling via disrupting expression through aberrant splice altering were resistant to ebola virus infection. IL-10-/- mice exhibited reduced viral titers, pathology, and levels of IL-2, IL-6, keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC), and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha and increased interferon (IFN)- gamma relative to infected wild-type mice. Furthermore, antibody depletion studies in IL-10-/- mice suggest a requirement for natural killer cells and IFN- gamma for protection. Together, these data demonstrate that resistance to ebola infection is regulated by IL-10 and can be targeted in a prophylactic manner to protect against lethal hemorrhagic virus challenge.

AN - 1529839297; 24766293 AB - This study evaluated acute toxicity and pulmonary injury in rats at 3, 6 and 24 h after an inhalation exposure to aerosolized O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate (VX). Anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were incubated with a glass endotracheal tube and exposed to saline or VX (171, 343 and 514 mg×min/m³ or 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8 LCt₅₀, respectively) for 10 min. VX was delivered by a small animal ventilator at a volume of 2.5 ml × 70 breaths/minute. All VX-exposed animals experienced a significant loss in percentage body weight at 3, 6, and 24 h post-exposure. In comparison to controls, animals exposed to 514 mg×min/m³ of VX had significant increases in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) protein concentrations at 6 and 24 h post-exposure. Blood acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was inhibited dose dependently at each of the times points for all VX-exposed groups. AChE activity in lung homogenates was significantly inhibited in all VX-exposed groups at each time point. All VX-exposed animals assessed at 20 min and 3, 6 and 24 h post-exposure showed increases in lung resistance, which was prominent at 20 min and 3 h post-exposure. Histopathologic evaluation of lung tissue of the 514 mg×min/m³ VX-exposed animals at 3, 6 and 24 h indicated morphological changes, including perivascular inflammation, alveolar exudate and histiocytosis, alveolar septal inflammation and edema, alveolar epithelial necrosis, and bronchiolar inflammatory infiltrates, in comparison to controls. These results suggest that aerosolization of the highly toxic, persistent chemical warfare nerve agent VX results in acute pulmonary toxicity and lung injury in rats.

AN - 1523406855; 24706983 AB - We investigated the ability of the engineered paraoxonase-1 variants G3C9, VII-D11, I-F11, and VII-D2 to afford protection against paraoxon intoxication. Paraoxon is the toxic metabolite of parathion, a common pesticide still in use in many developing countries. An in vitro investigation showed that VII-D11 is the most efficient variant at hydrolyzing paraoxon with a kcat/Km of 2.1 × 10(6) M(-1) min(-1) and 1.6 × 10(6) M(-1) min(-1) for the enzyme expressed via adenovirus infection of 293A cells and mice, respectively. Compared with the G3C9 parent scaffold, VII-D11 is 15- to 20-fold more efficacious at hydrolyzing paraoxon. Coinciding with these results, mice expressing VII-D11 in their blood survived and showed no symptoms against a cumulative 6.3 × LD50 dose of paraoxon, whereas mice expressing G3C9 experienced tremors and only 50% survival. We then determined whether VII-D11 can offer protection against paraoxon when present at substoichiometric concentrations. Mice containing varying concentrations of VII-D11 in their blood (0.2-4.1 mg/ml) were challenged with doses of paraoxon at fixed stoichiometric ratios that constitute up to a 10-fold molar excess of paraoxon to enzyme (1.4-27 × LD50 doses) and were assessed for tremors and mortality. Mice were afforded complete asymptomatic protection below a paraoxon-to-enzyme ratio of 8:1, whereas higher ratios produced tremors and/or mortality. VII-D11 in mouse blood coeluted with high-density lipoprotein, suggesting an association between the two entities. Collectively, these results demonstrate that VII-D11 is a promising candidate for development as a prophylactic catalytic bioscavenger against organophosphorous pesticide toxicity.

AN - 1517878123; 24486384 AB - Organophosphorus nerve agents are powerful neurotoxins that irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. One of the consequences of AChE inhibition is the generation of seizures and status epilepticus (SE), which cause brain damage, resulting in long-term neurological and behavioral deficits. Increased anxiety is the most common behavioral abnormality after nerve agent exposure. This is not surprising considering that the amygdala, and the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA) in particular, plays a central role in anxiety, and this structure suffers severe damage by nerve agent-induced seizures. In the present study, we exposed male rats to the nerve agent soman, at a dose that induce SE, and determined the time course of recovery of AChE activity, along with the progression of neuropathological and pathophysiological alterations in the BLA, during a 30-day period after exposure. Measurements were taken at 24 h, 7 days, 14 days, and 30 days after exposure, and at 14 and 30 days, anxiety-like behavior was also evaluated. We found that more than 90% of AChE is inhibited at the onset of SE, and AChE inhibition remains at this level 24 h later, in the BLA, as well as in the hippocampus, piriform cortex, and prelimbic cortex, which we analyzed for comparison. AChE activity recovered by day 7 in the BLA and day 14 in the other three regions. Significant neuronal loss and neurodegeneration were present in the BLA at 24 h and throughout the 30-day period. There was no significant loss of GABAergic interneurons in the BLA at 24 h post-exposure. However, by day 7, the number of GABAergic interneurons in the BLA was reduced, and at 14 and 30 days after soman, the ratio of GABAergic interneurons to the total number of neurons was lower compared to controls. Anxiety-like behavior in the open-field and the acoustic startle response tests was increased at 14 and 30 days post-exposure. Accompanying pathophysiological alterations in the BLA - studied in in vitro brain slices - included a reduction in the amplitude of field potentials evoked by stimulation of the external capsule, along with prolongation of their time course and an increase in the paired-pulse ratio. Long-term potentiation was impaired at 24 h, 7 days, and 14 days post-exposure. The loss of GABAergic interneurons in the BLA and the decreased interneuron to total number of neurons ratio may be the primary cause of the development of anxiety after nerve agent exposure.

2014-069107 AB - The stage-discharge relation, often called rating curve, is employed to determine discharge in natural and engineered channels. There are several methods for deriving a rating curve most of which are empirical. It is well recognized that rating curves are subjected to significant uncertainty, yet most of these methods do not have any provision to account for or do not quantify the uncertainty. This study employs the Tsallis entropy for deriving the rating curve, based on two simple constraints: (1) total probability and (2) mean discharge. Parameters of the derived curve are determined with the use of these two constraints. The rating curve is also determined by reparameterization with the use of an entropy parameter. The Tsallis entropy permits a probabilistic characterization of the rating curve and hence the probability density function of discharge underlying the curve. It also permits a quantitative assessment of the uncertainty of discharge obtained from the rating curve. The derived rating curve is found to be in agreement with field data and is also applied to ungaged watersheds. The rating curve is also extended beyond the range of discharge values used in its construction and its validity is then evaluated. Abstract Copyright (2014) Elsevier, B.V.

20081718 AB - LiCoPO sub(4) is a promising cathode material to enable high energy, abuse tolerant Li-ion batteries. However, LiCoPO sub(4) has relatively poor electronic conductivity which may be improved by chemical substitution. In this work, the ionic and electronic conductivities of dense, polycrystalline LiCoPO sub(4) and Fe super(2+)/Fe super(3+)-sub stituted LiCoPO sub(4)(Li sub(1-x)Co sub(0.9)Fe sub(0.1)PO sub(4)) are measured and compared. Both materials are predominantly ionic conductors with relatively good bulk ionic and relatively poor electronic conductivities. Li sub(1-x)Co sub(0.9)Fe sub(0.1)PO sub(4) exhibits both higher bulk ionic and electronic conductivity. The increased bulk ionic conductivity of Li sub(1-x)Co sub(0.9)Fe sub(0.1)PO sub(4) is believed to originate mainly from extra Li vacancies and the increased electronic conductivity is believed to originate mainly from creating more mobile hole polarons compared to LiCoPO sub(4) as a result of Fe super(2+)/Fe super(3+) substitution.

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 CO (sub 2) 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.

2016-027384 AB - The Training Range Environmental Evaluation and Characterization System (TREECS (super TM) ) (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 (super TM) 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 (super TM) 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 (super TM) 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 (super TM) was applied to the Borschi watershed near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine. At this site, TREECS (super TM) demonstrated its use as a modeling tool to predict the fate of strontium 90 ( (super 90) Sr). The most sensitive and uncertain input for this application was the soil-water partitioning distribution coefficient (K (sub d) ) for (super 90) Sr. The TREECS (super TM) soil model provided reasonable estimates of the surface water export flux of (super 90) Sr from the Borschi watershed when using a K (sub d) for (super 90) Sr of 200 L/kg. The computed export for the year 2000 was 0.18% of the watershed inventory of (super 90) Sr 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 (super 90) Sr, which is uncertain and affects the amount of (super 90) Sr available for export, was fixed at 20% based on field data measurements. A Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis was conducted treating K (sub 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 (super 90) Sr from the Borschi watershed to surface water is predominantly a result of soil pore water containing dissolved (super 90) Sr being diverted to surface waters that eventually flow out of the watershed. The percentage of non-exchangeable adsorbed (super 90) Sr and the soil-water K (sub 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 (super 90) Sr 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. Abstract Copyright (2014) Elsevier, B.V.

To support selection of an appropriate condition at which SVE may be terminated for site closure or for transition to another remedy, an evaluation is needed to determine whether vadose zone VOC contamination has been diminished sufficiently to keep groundwater concentrations below threshold values. A conceptual model for this evaluation was developed for VOC fate and transport from a vadose zone source to groundwater when vapor-phase diffusive transport is the dominant transport process. A numerical analysis showed that, for these conditions, the groundwater concentration is controlled by a limited set of parameters, including site-specific dimensions, vadose zone properties, and source characteristics. On the basis of these findings, a procedure was then developed for estimating groundwater concentrations using results from the three-dimensional multiphase transport simulations for a matrix of parameter value combinations and covering a range of potential site conditions. Interpolation and scaling processes are applied to estimate groundwater concentrations at compliance (monitoring) wells for specific site conditions of interest using the data from the simulation results. The interpolation and scaling methodology using these simulation results provides a far less computationally intensive alternative to site-specific three-dimensional multiphase site modeling, while still allowing for parameter sensitivity and uncertainty analyses. With iterative application, the approach can be used to consider the effect of a diminishing vadose zone source over time on future groundwater concentrations. This novel approach and related simulation results have been incorporated into a user-friendly Microsoft (super (R)) Excel (super (R)) -based spreadsheet tool entitled SVEET (Soil Vapor Extraction Endstate Tool), which has been made available to the public.

Remarkably little is known of the epidemiology of this injury. PURPOSE: To define the incidence of MCL tears and to determine the demographic and athletic risk factors. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive epidemiological study. METHODS: A longitudinal cohort study was performed to examine the epidemiology of isolated MCL sprains at the United States Military Academy (USMA) between 2005 and 2009. Charts and radiographic studies were reviewed by an independent orthopaedic surgeon to identify all new isolated MCL sprains resulting in time lost to sport and activity that occurred within the study period. Incidence rates (IRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated per 1000 person-years at risk and by sex, sport, and level of competition. The IR per 1000 athlete-exposures (AEs) was also determined. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and respective 95% CIs were calculated between male and female students, intercollegiate and intramural athletes, and male and female intercollegiate athletes involved in selected sports. Chi-square and Poisson regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between the variables of interest and the incidence of MCL sprains, with statistical significance set at P < .05. RESULTS: A total of 128 cadets sustained isolated MCL injuries during 17,606 student person-years from 2005 to 2009. This resulted in an IR of approximately 7.3 per 1000 person-years. Of the 128 injuries, 114 were in male athletes (89%) and 14 were in female athletes (11%). Male cadets had a 44% higher IR than did female cadets (7.60 vs 5.36, respectively), although this was not significant (P = .212). Of 5820 at-risk intercollegiate athletes, 59 (53 male, 6 female) sustained an isolated MCL sprain during 528,523 (407,475 male, 121,048 female) AEs for an overall IR of 10.14 per 1000 person-years and 0.11 per 1000 AEs. The IRR of MCL sprains of men compared with women involved in intercollegiate athletics was 2.87 (95% CI, 1.24-8.18) per 1000 person-years and 2.62 (95% CI, 1.13-7.47) per 1000 AEs. Of 21,805 at-risk intramural athletes, with quarterly participation, 16 (all male) sustained isolated MCL injuries during 225,683 AEs for an overall IR of 0.07 per 1000 AEs. The IRs of MCL injuries of intercollegiate and intramural athletes did not differ significantly. In intercollegiate sports, wrestling (0.57), judo (0.36), hockey (0.34), and rugby (men's, 0.22; women's, 0.23) had the highest IRs per 1000 AEs. When examining men's intercollegiate athletics, the IRRs of wrestling (13.41; 95% CI, 1.80-595.27) and hockey (8.12; 95% CI, 0.91-384.16) were significantly higher compared with that of lacrosse. Among women's intercollegiate sports as well as intramural sports, there were no significant differences in IRs. A median of 16 days was lost to injury, with 2407 total days lost for all injuries. Grade 1 MCL injuries lost a median of 13.5 days, while higher grade injuries lost a median of 29 days. CONCLUSION: Medial collateral ligament injuries are relatively common in athletic cohorts. The most injurious sports are contact sports such as wrestling, hockey, judo, and rugby. Male athletes are at a greater risk than female athletes. Intercollegiate athletes are at a greater risk than intramural athletes. The average amount of time lost per injury was 23.2 days, with greater time lost with higher grade sprains than grade 1 sprains.

To test the hypothesis that cell-seeded HA scaffolds improve bone regeneration, HA scaffolds without cell seeding (HA-empty), HA scaffolds with 1.5 10 super(4) BMSCs (HA-low), and HA scaffolds with 1.5 10 super(6) BMSCs (HA-high) were implanted in a 10-mm rabbit radius segmental defect model for 4 and 8 weeks. Three different fluorochromes were administered at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after implantation to identify differences in temporal bone growth patterns. It was observed from fluorescence histomorphometry analyses that an increased rate of bone infiltration occurred from 0 to 2 weeks (p < 0.05) of implantation for the HA-high group (2.9 plus or minus 0.5 mm) as compared with HA-empty (1.8 plus or minus 0.8 mm) and HA-low (1.3 plus or minus 0.2 mm) groups. No significant differences in bone formation within the scaffold or callus formation was observed between all groups after 4 weeks, with a significant increase in bone regenerated for all groups from 4 to 8 weeks (28.4% across groups). Although there was no difference in bone formation within scaffolds, callus formation was significantly higher in HA-empty scaffolds (100.9 plus or minus 14.1 mm super(3)) when compared with HA-low (57.8 plus or minus 7.3 mm super(3); p less than or equal to 0.003) and HA-high (69.2 plus or minus 10.4 mm super(3); p less than or equal to 0.02) after 8 weeks. These data highlight the need for a better understanding of the parameters critical to the success of cell-seeded HA scaffolds for bone regeneration. copyright 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Early detection of fatigue-related performance decrements is an important component of injury prevention and can help to ensure optimal performance and mission readiness. This study used a predictive visual tracking task and a computer-based measure of attention to characterize fatigue-related attention decrements in healthy Army personnel during acute sleep deprivation. Methods: Serving as subjects in this laboratory-based study were 87 male and female service members between the ages of 18 and 50 with no history of brain injury with loss of consciousness, substance abuse, or significant psychiatric or neurologic diagnoses. Subjects underwent 26 h of sleep deprivation, during which eye movement measures from a continuous circular visual tracking task and attention measures (reaction time, accuracy) from the Attention Network Test (ANT) were collected at baseline, 20 h awake, and between 24 to 26 h awake. Results: Increases in the variability of gaze positional errors (46-47%), as well as reaction time-based ANT measures (9-65%), were observed across 26 h of sleep deprivation. Accuracy of ANT responses declined across this same period (11%). Discussion: Performance measures of predictive visual tracking accurately reflect impaired attention due to acute sleep deprivation and provide a promising approach for assessing readiness in personnel serving in diverse occupational areas, including flight and ground support crews.

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 (super -3) ) and with a bank angle of 90 degrees 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.

To develop an infection mouse model, a mite-derived isolate of O. tsutsugamushi was established from a laboratory-maintained colony of Leptotrombidium chiangraiensis (O. tsutsugamushi Lc-1). This Lc-1 isolate was initially presented to ICR (CD-1) mice by feeding an infected Lc chigger on the ear of a mouse. Once the Lc-1 was adapted to the ICR mice, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to investigate O. tsutsugamushi genomic equivalent copies in tissues and sera. Furthermore, times to onset of the signs of infection are reported in this study. This study provides information useful for future research on this host-pathogen interaction and the associated vaccine efficacy trials.

The UV-LIF-RDI technique measured LIF spectra via direct laser beam illumination onto the particles that were impacted on a RDI strip with a spatial resolution of 1.2 mm, equivalent to an averaged time resolution in the aerosol sampling of 3.6 h. Excited by a 263 nm or 351 nm laser, more than 2000 LIF spectra within a 3-week aerosol collection time period were obtained from the eight individual RDI strips that collected particles in eight different sizes ranging from 0.09 to 10 mu m in Djibouti. Based on the known fluorescence database from atmospheric aerosols in the US, the LIF spectra obtained from the Djibouti aerosol samples were found to be dominated by fluorescence clusters 2,5, and 8 (peaked at 330,370, and 475 nm) when excited at 263 nm and by fluorescence clusters 1,2,5, and 6 (peaked at 390 and 460 nm) when excited at 351 nm. Size- and time-dependent variations of the fluorescence spectra revealed some size and time evolution behavior of organic and biological aerosols from the atmosphere in Djibouti. Moreover, this analytical technique could locate the possible sources and chemical compositions contributing to these fluorescence clusters. Advantages, limitations, and future developments of this new aerosol analysis technique are also discussed.

Puget Sound is characterized by drowned river valleys, coastal bluffs, numerous small river mouths and deltas, and relatively low wave energy (in contrast to the open Pacific coast). Much of the sediment exposed in river valleys and along the coastal bluffs is glacially derived, consisting of lake-bed clays, outwash sands and gravels, coarse-grain till and glacial marine drift, and interglacial fluvial (riverine) deposits (Shipman 2010). About half of Puget Sound's 4,000 km of shore consists of bluffs and small barriers, with the remainder comprising bedrock shores, several large river deltas, and hundreds of sheltered estuaries and barrier lagoons. Beaches on the sound consist of a wide mixture of grain sizes, but are dominated by gravel and coarse sand. Natural beaches in this region typically comprise a steep, coarse-grained beach face and a gently-sloping, sandy low-tide terrace (Finlayson 2006).

The scales are calculated using sonic anemometer data from two elevations, 5 and 50 m above the ground at the main tower site of the CASES-99 field campaign. In general, none of these scales agrees with the other, although the scale of maximum TKE is often similar to the boundary-layer depth during daytime hours, and the length scales derived from anisotropy characteristics are sometimes similar to Kappa z, z, and 2z depending on scale definition and thermal stability. Except for the scale with the strictest isotropy threshold, the turbulence is anisotropic for each of the various candidates for the outer scale. Length scales for maximum buoyancy flux and temperature variance are evaluated and the turbulence characteristics at these scales are almost always found to be anisotropic.

The purpose of this study was to quantify using a patented microclimate cooling technique, the heat transfer from the plantar surface of the foot for comparison to other commonly cooled body regions. Methods: A military boot was fitted with an insole embedded with a coiled, 1.27 m length of hollow tubing terminating in inlet and outlet valves. A thermal foot manikin with a surface temperature of 34[degrees]C was placed in the boot and the valves were connected to a system that circulated water through the insole at a temperature of 20[degrees]C and flow rate of 120 ml [middot] min super(-1). The manikin foot served as a constant heat source to determine heat transfer provided by the insole. Testing was done with the foot model dry and sweating at a rate of 500 ml [middot] h super(-1) [middot] m super(-2). Climatic chamber conditions were 30[degrees]C with 30% RH. Results: Heat loss was ~4.1 + or - 0.1 and ~7.7 + or - 0.3 W from the dry and sweating foot models, respectively. On a relative scale, the heat loss was 3.0 W and 5.5 W per 1% (unit) body surface area, respectively, for the dry and sweating conditions. Discussion: The relative heat loss afforded by plantar foot cooling was similar compared to other body regions, but the absolute amount of heat removal is unlikely to make an impact on whole body heat balance.

However, using GPE in lithium/sulphur (Li/S) batteries reduces the capacity because the highly viscous GPE traps lithium polysulfide (PS) within the electrolyte and makes the PS electrochemically inactive. In order to compensate for the loss of capacity, a porous poly(ethylene oxide)-sulphur composite has been selected to modify the commercial separator. It is shown that elemental sulphur in the composite layer not only serves as the pore-making agent (or called wetting agent) to facilitate filling of the liquid electrolyte in the cell assembly, but also provides additional sulphur to increase the cell's capacity. As a result, the Li/S cell with a GPE-modified separator has even higher capacity than the liquid electrolyte cell while still retaining the advantages of GPE. In this paper we discuss the effect of the composite's composition on the morphology, electrolyte wettability and cell's performance. JF - Journal of materials chemistry.

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.

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.

AN - 1510107925; 24494696 AB - Using a benchmark Ames mutagenicity data set, we evaluated the performance of molecular fingerprints as descriptors for developing quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models and defining applicability domains with two machine-learning methods: random forest (RF) and variable nearest neighbor (v-NN). The two methods focus on complementary aspects of chemical mutagenicity and use different characteristics of the molecular fingerprints to achieve high levels of prediction accuracies. Thus, while RF flags mutagenic compounds using the presence or absence of small molecular fragments akin to structural alerts, the v-NN method uses molecular structural similarity as measured by fingerprint-based Tanimoto distances between molecules. We showed that the extended connectivity fingerprints could intuitively be used to define and quantify an applicability domain for either method. The importance of using applicability domains in QSAR modeling cannot be understated; compounds that are outside the applicability domain do not have any close representative in the training set, and therefore, we cannot make reliable predictions. Using either approach, we developed highly robust models that rival the performance of a state-of-the-art proprietary software package. Importantly, based on the complementary approach used by the methods, we showed that by combining the model predictions we raised the applicability domain from roughly 80% to 90%. These results indicated that the proposed QSAR protocol constituted a highly robust chemical mutagenicity prediction model.

In gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), a score that can combine fold change and P-value together is needed for better gene ranking.Results: We defined a gene significance score pi -value by combining expression fold change and statistical significance (P-value), and explored its statistical properties. When compared to various existing methods, pi -value based approach is more robust in selecting DE genes, with the largest area under curve in its receiver operating characteristic curve. We applied pi -value to GSEA and found it comparable to P-value and t-statistic based methods, with added protection against false discovery in certain situations.

AN - 1499115815; 24378260 AB - Palytoxins (PLTXs) are known seafood contaminants and their entrance into the food chain raises concern about possible effects on human health. The increasing number of analogs being identified in edible marine organisms complicates the estimation of the real hazard associated with the presence of PLTX-like compounds. So far, 42-OH-PLTX is one of the few congeners available, and the study of its toxicity represents an important step toward a better comprehension of the mechanism of action of this family of compounds. From this perspective, the aim of this work was to investigate the in vivo and in vitro effect of 42-OH-PLTX on skeletal muscle, one of the most sensitive targets for PLTXs. Our results demonstrate that 42-OH-PLTX causes damage at the skeletal muscle level with a cytotoxic potency similar to that of PLTX. 42-OH-PLTX induces cytotoxicity and cell swelling in a Na(+)-dependent manner similar to the parent compound. However, the limited Ca(2+)-dependence of the toxic insult induced by 42-OH-PLTX suggests a specific mechanism of action for this analog. Our results also suggest an impaired response to the physiological agonist acetylcholine and altered cell elasticity. Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

CLINICAL ASSOCIATIONS OF TELOMERE LENGTH IN A COHORT OF REPATRIATED PRISONERS OF WAR AN - 1832256997; 20275494 AB - METHODS: Clinical data were collected on 127 RPW's during annual subject examinations carried out at the Robert E. Mitchell Center for Prisoner of War Studies (REMC). This data included results from common blood and urine tests, incarceration length and solitary confinement, Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS), SF-12, and the Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI). Analysis included the construction of stepwise linear and logistic regression models, as well as odds ratios and Fisher Exact Test calculations. RESULTS: Linear regression calculations failed to produce an acceptable model of LTL based upon 51 clinical parameters. Likewise, logistic regression analysis of upper/lower LTL tertiles versus the 51 clinical parameters produced no statistically significant results. Our analysis showed a statistically non-significant odds ratio of 1.784 (CI = 0.647-4.916) for incarceration rates greater than 30 weeks having an LTL in the lower tertile. The Fisher Exact Test for Resilient/Non-Resilient versus upper LTL tertile/lower LTL tertile produced a non-significant two-tailed p-value of 0.7907. DISCUSSION: No significant correlation between LTL and clinical markers of health in our study raises concerns about the clinical applicability of commercially available LTL tests for health screening. Future studies focusing on the development of externally validated LTL reference standards should be considered prior to further investigation in this field.

RESULTS: Among the phytonutrients concurrently examined, sulforaphane (derived from broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables) was clearly the most potent in stimulating QR activity. Our findings furthermore establish the ability of sulforaphane to upregulate QR at doses relevant to the diet and that do not disrupt hepatic cell cycle progression. Indeed, while 100 nM sulforaphane triggered a significant (p<0.05) 64% increase in Hepa1c1c7 cell QR activity, a 10-fold higher sulforaphane concentration was necessary to minimally inhibit cell proliferation, induce cell cycle arrest, or lead to aberrant mitotic phenotypes. DISCUSSION: Taken together, these findings support a novel role through which nutrition may support the health and wellness of aviators, aviation fuel handlers, and other personnel exposed to naphthalene-based petroleum chemicals.

Forty-five adults with laboratory-confirmed Chikungunya in Songkhla province, Thailand were clinically assessed and serially bled throughout the acute and convalescent phase of the disease. Patient symptoms, antibody responses, and viral kinetics were evaluated using observational assessments, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and serological assays. All subjects experienced joint pain with 42 (93%) involving multiple joints; the interphalangeal most commonly affected in 91% of the subjects. The mean duration of joint pain was 5.8 days, 11 (25%) experiencing discomfort through the duration of the study. Rash was observed in 37 (82%) subjects a mean 3.5 days post onset of symptoms. Patents were positive by PCR for a mean of 5.9 days with sustained peak viral load through Day 5. The IgM antibodies appeared on Day 4 and peaked at Day 7 and IgG antibodies first appeared at Day 5 and rose steadily through Day 24.

However, given the nature of these dynamic and uncertain threats, traditional risk assessment techniques may not be sufficient. Instead, there is a critical need for an integrated approach in which decision analytic techniques are used to assess evidence-based data with the values and preferences of decision makers. We point to three examples in the fields of nuclear power regulation, nanotechnology, and cybersecurity, where risk-based approaches (bottom-up) have been combined with decision analysis (top-down) to guide decision makers toward risk management policies that manifest both the best available evidence and the plurality of values within a society.

In controlled laboratory settings this classification approach works well; however, transitioning these approaches into more dynamic, unconstrained environments will present several significant challenges. One such challenge is an increase in temporal variability in measured behavioral and neural responses, which often results in suboptimal classification performance. Previously, we reported a novel classification method designed to account for temporal variability in the neural response in order to improve classification performance by using sliding windows in hierarchical discriminant component analysis (HDCA), and demonstrated a decrease in classification error by over 50% when compared to the standard HDCA method (Marathe et al., 2013). Here, we expand upon this approach and show that embedded within this new method is a novel signal transformation that, when applied to EEG signals, significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio and thereby enables more accurate single-trial analysis. The results presented here have significant implications for both brain-computer interaction technologies and basic science research into neural processes.

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.

Using a 10mm segmental rabbit radius defect model, a bilayer scaffold architecture mimicking the cortical-cancellous organization of bone (pore size 200 mu m outer layer, 450 mu m inner layer) was compared to a purely trabecular-like architecture (pore size 340 mu m) and an untreated defect. Bone regeneration was measured using micro-computed tomography and histology after four and eight weeks of in vivo implantation, and the mechanical strength of the defect site after eight weeks' implantation was assessed using flexural testing. Although both bilayer and trabecular architectures promoted bone growth, the trabecular scaffolds were observed to have more uniform new bone distribution within the scaffold interior at four weeks and greater bone regeneration overall after eight weeks' implantation (149 plus or minus 9mm3 compared to 121 plus or minus 8mm3 in the bilayer and 66 plus or minus 14mm3 in the defect). Additionally, the trabecular scaffolds were observed to exhibit significantly greater flexural strength (124% increase) and toughness (388% increase) when compared to the empty defects after eight weeks' implantation. It was concluded from this study that a larger uniform pore size led to greater functional bone regeneration over a longer implantation period for large segmental defects.

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.

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 (1500 m (super 3) s (super -1) ) are required to achieve landscape-level benefits to promote surface elevation via vertical accretion to keep pace with rising sea level.

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.

A quick Google search revealed a pleasing series of rose pins indicating numerous browsing locations. Quickly, I made the two-hour drive from Mobile and was in the French Quarter and my first book store by around 10:00. Faulkner House Books, is a small bookstore of new and rare books. My next stop was Crescent City Books, a comforting location with creaking wooden floors, ratty carpets, and high bookshelves. Before entering Beckhamʼs Bookshop, I waited as two teenagers admired the doors of the "bada" old bookshop. Beckhamʼs was my favorite book store in the French Quarter, a completely eclectic and disorganized mix that provides the patient browser a wide and well-priced selection.

Six different internal erosion failure modes may occur within a dam or levee, its abutments, or the foundation that are triggered or facilitated by different mechanisms and therefore have different failure criteria. In non-cohesive soils, suffusion, backward erosion, heave, or concentrated leak erosion (scour) are possible, although the physical mechanisms driving the failure criterion for each of these are very different. This article presents derivation of a specific failure criterion for initiation of backward erosion in non-cohesive soils using the critical kinetic energy (Ekcrit) of initiation. The advantage of this method is that laboratory-derived Ekcrit can take into account the natural factors that affect initiation of backward erosion. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the application of the factor of safety methodology under typical field conditions.

Given the emerging nature of the field and complexity of nanomaterials, multiple studies on even basic material properties often result in varying data pointing in different directions when data interpretation is attempted. Weight of evidence (WOE) evaluation has been recommended for nanomaterial risk assessment, but the majority of WOE frameworks are qualitative in nature and do not satisfy the growing needs for objectivity and transparency that are necessary for regulatory decision making. This paper implements a quantitative WOE framework that utilizes multi-criteria decision analysis methodology for integrating individual studies on nanomaterial hazard resulting from physicochemical and toxicological properties of nanomaterials. For the first time, a WOE approach explicitly integrates expert evaluation of data quality of available information. Application of the framework is illustrated for titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO sub(2)), but the approach is designed to compare the relative hazard of several nanomaterials as well as emerging stressors in general.

To best fulfill this role, chaplains need to have a broad understanding of the nature of alcohol problems and current strategies for effectively interacting with individuals who have these problems, especially those with severe problems, and with their families. This article is designed to expand the chaplain's knowledge about alcohol use disorders as well as evidence-based treatments and to offer recommendations on how chaplains can promote recovery of individuals with alcohol-related problems.

This investigation examined risk factors for closed-head injuries in an Army airborne infantry unit. Methods: Closed-head injuries were defined as energy exchanges in which the head contacted the ground or an object and the soldier sought medical care for external trauma, headache, loss of consciousness, or altered mental state. Injury data were obtained by investigators in the drop zone and diagnoses were confirmed by a physician. Operational data on potential injury risk factors were obtained from routine reports published by the infantry unit. Weather data were obtained using a pocket weather tracker. Results: There were 96,132 jumps resulting in 310 closed-head injuries for a crude incidence of 3.22/1000 jumps. In 98% of known cases the injury was associated with parachute landings. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that independent risk factors for closed-head injuries included night jumps, combat loads, higher wind speeds, higher temperatures, enlisted rank, and entanglements. Conclusions: This study identifies the current incidence and extrinsic risk factors for closed-head injuries during military airborne operations. Although it is necessary to conduct airborne training under realistic conditions, trainers and commanders should be aware of these risks and plan airborne operations accordingly.

The tactile situation awareness system (TSAS) has been shown to improve flight performance in conditions of degraded visual environments and to safely maintain performance during hover over moving targets. The potential for the user to adapt and habituate to the stimulus of tactile display systems has not yet been investigated. Methods: Four UH-60 current, rated aviators (all male) participated in the pilot study. Subjects completed four consecutive iterations of a 3-h flight profile consisting of 10 maneuvers, totaling 12 h of continuous flight. Flight performance, factor information, responses to a discomfort questionnaire, and ratings of fatigue symptoms were recorded. Results: The independent variable in all analyses was session (four levels). The results showed that performance per maneuver and proportion of stimulus cues (measure of response to cues) per maneuver were consistent across sessions using independent-samples Kruskal-Wallis tests. Discussion: The findings of this preliminary assessment support the use of tactile displays (consistent with parameters of TSAS) in continuous operations since performance and proportion of stimulus cues presented was consistent over a period of 12 h. In conclusion, the system will require further experimental testing, but these preliminary findings do not suggest performance or response to be affected by any adaptation or habituation to the stimulus.

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.

Inherent physiologic compensatory mechanisms may prevent accurate diagnosis and mask true severity in many circumstances. The objective of this project was the development and validation of a multiparameter machine learning algorithm and system capable of predicting the need for life-saving interventions (LSIs) in trauma patients. Statistics based on means, slopes, and maxima of various vital sign measurements corresponding to 79 trauma patient records generated over 110,000 feature sets, which were used to develop, train, and implement the system. Comparisons among several machine learning models proved that a multilayer perceptron would best implement the algorithm in a hybrid system consisting of a machine learning component and basic detection rules. Additionally, 295,994 feature sets from 82 h of trauma patient data showed that the system can obtain 89.8 % accuracy within 5 min of recorded LSIs. Use of machine learning technologies combined with basic detection rules provides a potential approach for accurately assessing the need for LSIs in trauma patients. The performance of this system demonstrates that machine learning technology can be implemented in a real-time fashion and potentially used in a critical care environment.

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.

To study the effect of particle shape on moisture bonding, we use two types of particles nearly equal in size: spherical glass beads (d sub(50) = 134 mu m) and sieved quartz sand (d sub(50) = 139 mu m). Both are poorly graded soils. We conducted these experiments at low moisture contents (<1%). We found that the spherical particles were more sensitive to changes in moisture than the sand, attributable to the large differences in specific surface area of the two particles. The larger specific surface area for sand is due to the surface roughness of the angular sand particle. Consequently, sand "stores" more moisture via surface adsorption, requiring higher soil moisture content to form liquid bridges between sand particles. Based on these findings, we extend the concept of a threshold moisture content, w'-originally proposed for clayey soils-to soils that lack any measureable clay content. This allows application of existing models developed for clayey soils that quantify the moisture effect on the threshold friction velocity to sand and silty soils (i.e., clay content = 0). Additionally, we develop a model that quantifies the moisture effects on near-surface airborne particulate concentration, using experimental observations to determine the functional dependence on fluid and particle properties, including soil specific area. These models can be applied to numerical simulation of particulate plume formation and dispersion.

AN - 1492678511; 24291454 AB - Rats were exposed intraperitoneally (3 times a week up to 20 injections) to either Cadmium and Lead salts in doses equivalent to their 0.05 LD50 separately or combined in the same or halved doses. Toxic effects were assessed by more than 40 functional, biochemical and morphometric indices. We analysed the results obtained aiming at determination of the type of combined toxicity using either common sense considerations based on descriptive statistics or two mathematical models based (a) on ANOVA and (b) on Mathematical Theory of Experimental Design, which correspond, respectively, to the widely recognised paradigms of effect additivity and dose additivity. Nevertheless, these approaches have led us unanimously to the following conclusions: (1) The above paradigms are virtually interchangeable and should be regarded as different methods of modelling the combined toxicity rather than as reflecting fundamentally differing processes. (2) Within both models there exist not merely three traditionally used types of combined toxicity (additivity, subadditivity and superadditivity) but at least 10 variants of it depending on exactly which effect is considered and on its level, as well as on the dose levels and their ratio.

AN - 1492686527; 24464236 AB - The majority of modern war wounds are characterized by high-energy blast injuries containing a wide range of retained foreign materials of a metallic or composite nature. Health effects of retained fragments range from local or systemic toxicities to foreign body reactions or malignancies, and dependent on the chemical composition and corrosiveness of the fragments in vivo. Information obtained by chemical analysis of excised fragments can be used to guide clinical decisions regarding the need for fragment removal, to develop therapeutic interventions, and to better anticipate future medical problems from retained fragment related injuries. In response to this need, a new U.S Department of Defense (DoD) directive has been issued requiring characterization of all removed fragments to provide a database of fragment types occurring in combat injuries. The objective of this study is to determine the chemical composition of retained embedded fragments removed from injured military personnel, and to relate results to histological findings in tissue adjacent to fragment material. We describe an approach for the chemical analysis and characterization of retained fragments and adjacent tissues, and include case examples describing fragments containing depleted uranium (DU), tungsten (W), lead (Pb), and non-metal foreign bodies composed of natural and composite materials. Fragments obtained from four patients with penetrating blast wounds to the limbs were studied employing a wide range of chemical and microscopy techniques. Available adjacent tissues from three of the cases were histologically, microscopically, and chemically examined. The physical and compositional properties of the removed foreign material surfaces were examined with energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), laser ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass-spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), and confocal laser Raman microspectroscopy (CLRM). Quantitative chemical analysis of both fragments and available tissues was conducted employing ICP-MS. Over 800 fragments have been characterized and included as part of the Joint Pathology Center Embedded Fragment Registry. Most fragments were obtained from penetrating wounds sustained to the extremities, particularly soft tissue injuries. The majority of the fragments were primarily composed of a single metal such as iron, copper, or aluminum with traces of antimony, titanium, uranium, and lead. One case demonstrated tungsten in both the fragment and the connected tissue, together with lead. Capsular tissue and fragments from a case from the 1991 Kuwait conflict showed evidence of uranium that was further characterized by uranium isotopic ratios analysis to contain depleted uranium. The present study provides a systematic approach for obtaining a full chemical characterization of retained embedded fragments. Given the vast number of combat casualties with retained fragments, it is expected that fragment analysis will have significant implications for the optimal short and long-term care of wounded service members.

AN - 1490696689; 24275069 AB - Inhibition of DNA repair is a recognized mechanism for arsenic enhancement of ultraviolet radiation-induced DNA damage and carcinogenesis. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a zinc finger DNA repair protein, has been identified as a sensitive molecular target for arsenic. The zinc finger domains of PARP-1 protein function as a critical structure in DNA recognition and binding. Since cellular poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation capacity has been positively correlated with zinc status in cells, we hypothesize that arsenite binding-induced zinc loss from PARP-1 is equivalent to zinc deficiency in reducing PARP-1 activity, leading to inhibition of DNA repair. To test this hypothesis, we compared the effects of arsenite exposure with zinc deficiency, created by using the membrane-permeable zinc chelator TPEN, on 8-OHdG formation, PARP-1 activity and zinc binding to PARP-1 in HaCat cells. Our results show that arsenite exposure and zinc deficiency had similar effects on PARP-1 protein, whereas supplemental zinc reversed these effects. To investigate the molecular mechanism of zinc loss induced by arsenite, ICP-AES, near UV spectroscopy, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy were utilized to examine arsenite binding and occupation of a peptide representing the first zinc finger of PARP-1. We found that arsenite binding as well as zinc loss altered the conformation of zinc finger structure which functionally leads to PARP-1 inhibition. These findings suggest that arsenite binding to PARP-1 protein created similar adverse biological effects as zinc deficiency, which establishes the molecular mechanism for zinc supplementation as a potentially effective treatment to reverse the detrimental outcomes of arsenic exposure.

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.

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.

This paper examines one potential source, the subsampling of a processed field sample. Five archived ground field samples were subsampled to determine the optimal number of increments to construct a 10-g subsample. Bulk samples ranged from 338 g to 2150 g. The analytes were energetic compounds: crystalline, easy-to-grind explosives and difficult-to-grind propellants in a nitrocellulose matrix. A two-phase study was conducted with moderately high concentration samples and low concentration samples of each type of analyte. All samples were ground with a puck mill according to EPA method 8330B and analyzed on liquid chromatography instrumentation. Up to 40 increments were used to build each subsample and seven replicates executed for each test. Results demonstrate that for a well-ground and mixed sample, a single 10 g subsample is sufficient. For triplicate subsamples, however, 20 to 40 increments will give a result much closer to the concentration of the bulk sample. To minimize overall error due to incomplete mixing, improper grinding, or very low concentrations, we recommend about 30 increments be taken over the complete sample to construct the subsample.

A critical area of concern to design engineers is the exit gradient at the toe of the levee and other sensitive areas. If the exit gradient becomes too large, water flows too fast, thus creating the potential for piping and internal erosion. Seepage analyses using the finite element method were conducted where the hydraulic conductivity k within an estimated root zone was varied. These analyses were based on the assumption that a root system alters the k of a soil. Exit gradients calculated for root zones placed at the bottom of the dewatered drainage ditch in Albuquerque, NM, and on and just beyond the toe of the levee in the other levee systems showed changes in exit gradients when k was varied. Field measurements were not a part of this study.

In view of an active debate at the International Civil Aviation Organization level on further adjustments to the design procedure, a U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) research team reformulated the original CBR procedure. The new CBR design procedure was redefined with the introduction of Frohlich's theory for computing the pavement thickness and validated through full-scale testing. This study evaluated the influence of each layer in the stress distribution with the final objective of recommending specific values of the Frohlich stress concentration factor. The data for this investigation were collected during full-scale testing at the ERDC in 2008. The analysis allowed identification of several influencing factors in the stress distribution for computing the stress acting at the top of the subgrade. Such factors included the subbase and subgrade CBR, the thickness of the subbase layer, and the stress distribution represented by the respective n factor of the layer group. The linear regression confirmed the statistical importance of these variables in assessing stress distribution above the subgrade. This case study provided encouraging results for additional investigations on the stress distribution within a layered system with the objective of quantifying more accurately the stress acting at the top of the subgrade.

The recent field testing of a new airfield precast panel repair system indicated that precast panels were suitable for expedient airfield pavement repairs; the panels could withstand between 5,000 and 10,000 passes of C-17 aircraft traffic. Failure of the panels was due to spalling of the transverse doweled joints. The purpose of this study was to determine the load transfer effectiveness, or load transfer efficiencies (LTEs), of the panel repairs. A heavy weight deflectometer was used to collect deflection data before, during, and after trafficking to calculate precast panel LTE on the basis of deflections (LTE sub( delta )) or transferred stresses (LT). The LTE values were then evaluated to determine whether current measures of effectiveness were suitable for precast panel repairs. From the results of this investigation, few of the joints provided the current military airfield design assumption of 25% LT, but the majority of the transverse joints exceeded the proposed LTE sub( delta ) threshold of 70% even after failure of the transverse joints. It was recommended that additional field tests be conducted without the use of rapid-setting grout in the joints before recommendations on thresholds were made.

Three WMA mixtures and one hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixture produced in an asphalt plant were evaluated under simulated heavy aircraft traffic. The evaluation was conducted at extreme traffic conditions, including heavy aircraft loading, high tire pressure, and high pavement temperature. Pavement structural response and rutting were evaluated to assess the susceptibility to permanent deformation of WMA mixtures compared with that of HMA produced with the same aggregate blend. Test results indicated that WMA was a viable product for surface mixtures on airfield pavements.

These records have identified a warm interval centered on 950 CE and subsequent cooling considered to be intervals of the Little Ice Age and the contemporary warming of the last hundred years. Efforts to extend this record are underway using sub fossil wood recently exposed in the wake of retreating glaciers. Using samples collected from Muir Inlet of Glacier Bay, Alaska in the summer of 2014 and previously compiled chronologies from the surrounding area, this project intends to add more tree ring series to the present chronologies to better reconstruct the 2000 year history of surface air temperature variability throughout the GOA. Preliminary results display long period cooling likely associated with Milankovich forcing recognized in other high latitude proxy temperature records and consistent with glacier records from the region. Warm intervals rivaling contemporary warming are evident prior to the recent century and cooling around 600 CE precedes a strong glacial expansion. Overall, the reconstruction is more similar to recent multi proxy reconstructions for western continental North America than for the higher Arctic records which have included the GOA tree-ring temperature records in the past.

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.Original Abstract: La connectivite de la plaine d'inondation est importante pour les organismes aquatiques dans les grandes rivieres. Les modifications anthropogeniques de regulation de la riviere Missouri ont limite la connectivite et affecte negativement la faune indigene. Determiner la reponse biologique a des evenements d'inondation rares peut etre important lors de l'examen des options de restauration possibles sur une riviere regulee; nous avons etudie les communautes d'invertebres benthiques et de zooplancton sur trois sites d'une plaine d'inondation de la riviere Missouri au cours d'un evenement historique d'inondation. Les larves de chironomes sont dominantes pendant la plupart des campagnes d'echantillonnage; les densites etaient souvent plus elevees au cours des campagnes d'echantillonnage initiales et plus faibles quand la submersion persiste. Des tendances similaires sont trouvees pour les densites de rotiferes, cladoceres, et copepodes. L'analyse multidimensionnelle non metrique a egalement montre une dissemblance relativement elevee des densites entre campagnes d'echantillonnage precoces et tardives pour les communautes d'invertebres benthiques et de zooplancton. En tant que telle, l'inondation a court terme peut etre plus benefique a la production d'invertebres benthiques (principalement les larves de chironomes) et de zooplancton de la riviere Missouri que les inondations de plus longue duree, d'un mois ou plus. En outre, les projets de restauration peuvent etre concus a des altitudes permettant des inondations de plus courte duree, qui seraient susceptibles de beneficier aux poissons indigenes avec un habitat supplementaire de fraie, de nurserie et d'alimentation. La rupture de digue peut etre une option de restauration efficace pour augmenter la quantite d'habitat disponible lors d'inondations de courte duree, tout en fournissant potentiellement des benefices socio-economiques de reduction des risques d'inondation en ameliorant les ecoulements.

Multiple geogenic processes contribute to the release and mobilization of As and control the spatial variation of low and high-As localizations. The current study focuses on As sorption and release mechanisms from sediment fractions to groundwaters within aquifers. It also probes the extent of bioaccumulation, speciation, and localization of As within rice cultivated in these soils with high As irrigation waters. Results indicate contents of organic matter (OM) within sediments, and dominance of Fe and Mn together play a key role in sorption of As. Extractions from core sediments collected in contrasting low and high-As areas indicate residual and Fe-oxyhydroxide fractions dominating As adsorption. OM-adsorbed As, Fe and Mn were quantified by NaOCl extractions on the sediments. Leftover dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the above extracts demonstrated sediment-bound organics varying from shallow to deep parts even within the high-As areas. Positive correlations were observed between total As (As (sub T) ) in groundwater and dissolved Fe-Mn ratios; As (sub T) and DOC in groundwater; and bulk As and TOC of sediments. Rice samples collected from low and high-As areas (n=14) and domestically purchased (n=10) were de-husked, dried, ground, and microwave digested. IC-ICP-DRC-MS analyses show a diverse range of As uptake by rice grains cultivated in both dry and wet seasons. Our results indicate rice grains with long and slender (LS) physical dimensions bioconcentrated on average more As than short and stocky (SS) grains. Rice samples that exceeded 125 mu g/kg AsT (n=10) were selected for water digestion and HPLC-ICP-MS analysis for speciation. Organic As (MMA, DMA) and As (V) were undetectable at <1 mu g/kg. As (III) was the dominant species, detected in 40% of samples in concentrations between 6.8 mu g/kg and 52.3 mu g/kg. mu XANES and mu XRF analyses were conducted to further investigate As speciation and map As localization to reveal important uptake mechanisms within rice grains.

Geologic study was conducted in Sections 19-20, T30S, R40E of the Johannesburg 7.5 minute quadrangle to deduce the mechanisms, extent and timing of faults that displace the pre-Miocene tectonostratigraphy of the RTC. Well-exposed fault striations and distinctive marker units facilitate determination of net slip. Mapped faults that crosscut the RTC include: (1) an early south-dipping brittle-ductile shear zone with chlorite-epidote alteration that records normal and left-lateral (LL) displacements, (2) six prominent NNE-striking LL-oblique normal faults that cause significant clockwise rotation of older RTC lineations, and (3) several late ENE-dipping normal faults associated with quartz breccia and limonite striations. Calculation of net slip for the NNE-striking fault system yields a total horizontal extension and LL displacement of 11.6 km and 3.6 km, respectively. Four significant NNE-striking faults outside the study area mapped by Nourse (1989) record additional horizontal extension and LL slip of 5.7 km and 7.8 km, respectively, using assumed oblique slip vectors. Depending on the degree of domino-style block rotation that accompanied strike-slip displacements, the integrated extensional strain produced by these faults may approach 100% in the E-W direction. The Rand Mountains occupy an accommodation zone between the LL Garlock fault and three NW-striking right-lateral faults of the eastern California shear zone. Mid-Miocene to Recent displacements on these faults likely accompanied clockwise transrotation of the Rand Mountains block, facilitated by LL slip on the ENE-striking Cantil fault along the north range-front and a hypothetical fault of similar orientation located south near the termination of the right-lateral faults. Smaller scale block rotation and coincident extension occurred within the Rand Mountains along the cross faults mapped in this study.

First, the piece provides a concise working definition for culture, including a beneficial cultural toolkit concept. Second, the article discusses the concept of postmodernism and then explores applicable examples of contested, divergent, fragmented, and complementary cultural changes, currents, and new tools in US military culture. This study explains cases of cultural innovation linked to the global growth of ambiguity, movement toward greater multiculturalism, impact of the information age, growth of military civilians, increasing questioning of authority and ideas, and the emergence of a multimission military. This project illuminates the stark oppositional qualities and cultural tools of two currently prominent and highly relevant cultural orientations-the warrior and the peacekeeper-diplomat-which, along with other conflicted and necessary cultural spheres, ultimately coalesce and comprise emergent postmodern US military culture. Finally, the article argues that the postmodern military theory requires a new military culture variable.

The Karp genotype was found in all of the chiggers examined, whereas Gilliam and UT302 genotypes were only observed in combination with the Karp genotype. From analysis of these OT genotypes after transmission from chiggers to mice it was determined that with the Lc and Li mites, the OT genotype composition in the rodent spleens post-infection had not changed and therefore resembled that observed in the feeding chiggers. However, only the Karp genotype was found in rodents after feeding by Ld chiggers carrying Karp and Gilliam genotypes. The current findings reveal a complex association among the host, pathogen, and vector.

We noted differences in the phenology and infection prevalence among Ixodes scapularis ticks submitted from military installations in different geographic regions. The aim of this study was to characterize these observed differences, comparing the phenology and pathogen infection rates of I. scapularis submitted from soldiers at two sites in the upper Midwest (Camp Ripley, MN, and Ft. McCoy, WI) and one site in the northeastern US (Ft. Indiantown Gap, PA). Methods: From 1997 through 2012, the HTTKP received 1,981 I. scapularis from the three installations and tested them for Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia microti, Borrelia burgdorferi and the Ehrlichia muris-like (EML) agent using PCR; pathogen presence was confirmed via sequencing or amplification of a second gene target. Pathogen and co-infection prevalence, tick engorgement status, and phenology were compared among installations. Results: Greater rates of A. phagocytophilum and Ba. microti infections were detected in ticks submitted from installations in Minnesota than in Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, and the EML agent was only detected in ticks from Minnesota and Wisconsin. Midwestern ticks were also more likely to be co-infected than those from Pennsylvania. Both adult and nymphal ticks showed evidence of feeding on people, although nymphs were more often submitted engorged. Adult I. scapularis were received more frequently in June from Minnesota than from either of the other sites. Minnesota adult and nymphal peaks overlapped in June, and submissions of adults exceeded nymphs in that month. Conclusions: There were clear differences in I. scapularis phenology, pathogen prevalence and rates of co-infection among the three military installations. Seasonal and temperature differences between the three sites and length of time a population had been established in each region may contribute to the observed differences. The synchrony of adults and nymphs observed in the upper Midwest has implications for pathogen infection prevalence. The EML agent was only detected in Minnesota and Wisconsin, supporting the previous assertion that this pathogen is currently limited to the upper Midwest.

AN - 1640328581; 25531884 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.

The research presented here sought to examine the decision to allocate dredge resources to projects systemwide under necessary constraints. These constraints included environmental restrictions on when dredging could take place in response to the migration patterns of turtles, birds, fish, and other wildlife; dredge equipment resource availability; and varying equipment productivity rates that affected project completion times. The paper discusses problem definition and model formulation of optimal dredge fleet scheduling within environmental work windows. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to provide decision makers with quantitative insights into dredging program efficiency gains that could be realized systemwide if environmental restrictions were relaxed. Opportunities exist to provide decision makers with quantitative insights into how efficiencies might be obtained if targeted research were to show that particular restricted periods could be relaxed without adverse consequences to sensitive and endangered species.

AN - 1622597046; 25380136 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.

1618150373; 20818223 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 plus or minus SD = 2.36 plus or minus 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.

Bed-sediment samples were collected once from 22 sites in Barnegat Bay and selected major tributaries during August-September 2012 and analyzed for toxicity and a suite of organic and inorganic contaminants by the USGS and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Sampling sites were selected to coincide with an existing water-quality monitoring network used by the NJDEP and others in order to evaluate water-quality conditions in Barnegat Bay and the surrounding watershed. Two of the 22 sites are reference sites and are within or adjacent to the study area; bed-sediment samples from reference sites allow for comparisons of results for the Barnegat Bay watershed to results from less affected settings within the region. Toxicity testing was conducted by exposing the estuarine amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus and the freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca to sediments for 28 days, and the percent survival, difference in biomass, and individual dry weights were measured. Reproductive effects also were evaluated for estuarine samples. Bed-sediment samples from four sites within Barnegat Bay were subjected to a toxicity identification evaluation to determine probable causes of toxicity. Samples were analyzed for a suite of 94 currently-used pesticides, 21 legacy pesticides, 24 trace elements, 40 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 7 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as Arochlor mixtures, and 145 individual PCB congeners. Concentrations of detected compounds were compared to sediment-quality guidelines, where appropriate. JF - Data Series - U. S.

AN - 1563059863; 25226513 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.

AN - 1557083724; 25153316 AB - Biological phenotypes of tri-segmented arboviruses display characteristics that map to mutation/s in the S, M or L segments of the genome. Plaque variants have been characterized for other viruses displaying varied phenotypes including attenuation in growth and/or pathogenesis. In order to characterize variants of Bunyamwera and Ngari viruses, we isolated individual plaque size variants; small plaque (SP) and large plaque (LP) and determined in vitro growth properties and in vivo pathogenesis in suckling mice. We performed gene sequencing to identify mutations that may be responsible for the observed phenotype. The LP generally replicated faster than the SP and the difference in growth rate was more pronounced in Bunyamwera virus isolates. Ngari virus isolates were more conserved with few point mutations compared to Bunyamwera virus isolates which displayed mutations in all three genome segments but majority were silent mutations. Contrary to expectation, the SP of Bunyamwera virus killed suckling mice significantly earlier than the LP. The LP attenuation may probably be due to a non-synonymous substitution (T858I) that mapped within the active site of the L protein. In this study, we identify natural mutations whose exact role in growth and pathogenesis need to be determined through site directed mutagenesis studies.

However there is limited long-term longitudinal data on the effect of AL on gametocyte dynamics in asymptomatic children. Methods: An epidemiological study was conducted in Kombewa, Western Kenya, in which 270 asymptomatic children aged between 12 and 47 months were enrolled. The subjects were randomized to receive either a course of AL or placebo at enrolment. Active follow-up was conducted for one year. Results: The gametocyte prevalence and density dynamics throughout the study period mirrored that of the asexual forms. The proportion of initially parasitaemic subjects becoming gametocytaemic was significantly lower in the AL arm for the first 12 weeks following randomization. The geometric mean gametocyte density was lower in the AL arm for 2 weeks following randomization. None of the variables of interest had a statistically significant effect on the duration of gametocytaemia. There is no effect seen in subjects who are not parasitaemic at the time of drug administration.

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 B urkholderia 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 .

However, SP still remains the recommended drug for intermittent preventive treatment in pregnant women and infants (IPT sub(P/I)) owing to its safety profile. This study assessed the prevalence of mutations in dihydrofolate reductase (Pfdhfr) and dihydropteroate synthase (Pfdhps) genes associated with SP resistance in samples collected in Kenya between 2008 and 2012. Methods: Field isolates collected from Kisumu, Kisii, Kericho and Malindi district hospitals were assessed for genetic polymorphism at various loci within Pfdhfr and Pfdhps genes by sequencing. Results: Among the Pfdhfr mutations, codons N51I, C59R, S108N showed highest prevalence in all the field sites at 95.5%, 84.1% and 98.6% respectively. Pfdhfr S108N prevalence was highest in Kisii at 100%. A temporal trend analysis showed steady prevalence of mutations over time except for codon Pfdhps 581 which showed an increase in mixed genotypes. Triple Pfdhfr N51I/C59R/S108N and double Pfdhps A437G/ K540E had high prevalence rates of 86.6% and 87.9% respectively. The Pfdhfr/Pfdhps quintuple, N51I/C59R/S108N/A437G/K540E mutant which has been shown to be the most clinically relevant marker for SP resistance was observed in 75.7% of the samples. Conclusion: SP resistance is still persistently high in western Kenya, which is likely due to fixation of key mutations in the Pfdhfr and Pfdhps genes as well as drug pressure from other antifolate drugs being used for the treatment of malaria and other infections. In addition, there is emergence and increasing prevalence of new mutations in Kenyan parasite population. Since SP is used for IPT sub(P/I), molecular surveillance and in vitro susceptibility assays must be sustained to provide information on the emergence and spread of SP resistance.

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 + or - 0.2 N m/kg) to PSR (0.87 + or - 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 + or - 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.

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).

The Bp genome encodes a repertoire of virulence factors, including the cluster 3 type III secretion system (T3SS-3), the cluster 1 type VI secretion system (T6SS-1), and the intracellular motility protein BimA, that enable the pathogen to invade both phagocytic and non-phagocytic cells. A unique hallmark of Bp infection both in vitro and in vivo is its ability to induce cell-to-cell fusion of macrophages to form multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs), which to date are semi-quantitatively reported following visual inspection. Results: In this study we report the development of an automated high-content image acquisition and analysis assay to quantitate the Bp induced MNGC phenotype. Validation of the assay was performed using T6SS-1 (...hcp1) and T3SS-3 (...bsaZ) mutants of Bp that have been previously reported to exhibit defects in their ability to induce MNGCs. Finally, screening of a focused small molecule library identified several Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors that inhibited Bp-induced MNGC formation of macrophages. Conclusions: We have successfully developed an automated HCI assay to quantitate MNGCs induced by Bp in macrophages. This assay was then used to characterize the phenotype of the Bp mutants for their ability to induce MNGC formation and identify small molecules that interfere with this process. Successful application of chemical genetics and functional reverse genetics siRNA approaches in the MNGC assay will help gain a better understanding of the molecular targets and cellular mechanisms responsible for the MNGC phenotype induced by Bp, by other bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, or by exogenously added cytokines.

The lack of a concurrent placebo control arm prevented an internal estimate of the malaria attack rate and so the protective efficacy of the study regimens was not determined at the time. Methods: In a retrospective analysis of the trial results, the all species malaria attack rate was estimated for the prophylactic phase of the study which was defined as the period between administration of the first prophylactic dose and the first dose of post-deployment medication. First, the Plasmodium vivax attack rate was estimated during the prophylactic phase of the deployment by adjusting the observed P. vivax relapse rate during post-deployment to account for the known anti-relapse efficacies (or effectiveness) of the study medications (determined from prior studies). The all species malaria attack rate (P. vivax and Plasmodium falciparum) was then determined by adjusting the P. vivax attack rate based on the ratio of P. falciparum to P. vivax observed during prior ADF deployments to Timor Leste. This estimated all species malaria attack rate was then used as the 'constant estimated attack rate' in the calculation of the protective efficacy of tafenoquine and mefloquine during the prophylactic phase of the deployment. Results: The estimated attack rate during the prophylactic phase of the study was determined to be 7.88%. The protective efficacies of tafenoquine and mefloquine, with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), were determined to be 100% (93%-100%) and 100% (79%-100%) respectively. Conclusions: The protective efficacy of tafenoquine (200 mg per day for three days, followed by weekly 200 mg maintenance doses) is similar to that of the weekly standard of care (mefloquine, 250 mg).

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.

AN - 1499143095; 24510058 AB - The rat has been used extensively as a model for evaluating chemical toxicities and for understanding drug mechanisms. However, its transcriptome across multiple organs, or developmental stages, has not yet been reported. Here we show, as part of the SEQC consortium efforts, a comprehensive rat transcriptomic BodyMap created by performing RNA-Seq on 320 samples from 11 organs of both sexes of juvenile, adolescent, adult and aged Fischer 344 rats. We catalogue the expression profiles of 40,064 genes, 65,167 transcripts, 31,909 alternatively spliced transcript variants and 2,367 non-coding genes/non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) annotated in AceView. We find that organ-enriched, differentially expressed genes reflect the known organ-specific biological activities. A large number of transcripts show organ-specific, age-dependent or sex-specific differential expression patterns. We create a web-based, open-access rat BodyMap database of expression profiles with crosslinks to other widely used databases, anticipating that it will serve as a primary resource for biomedical research using the rat model.

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 km super(2)) 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 degree C) than the 0.80 degree 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.

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 sturgeon. 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.

AN - 1490752532; 23891618 AB - Decoquinate has potent activity against both Plasmodium hepatic development and red cell replication when tested in vitro. Decoquinate, however, is practically insoluble in water. To achieve its maximal in vivo efficacy, we generated nanoparticle formulations of decoquinate with a mean particle size less than 400 nm. Three separate preparations at doses of decoquinate 0.5-5 mg/kg were examined in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei. Oral administration of nanoparticle decoquinate at a dose of 1.25 mg/kg effectively inhibited the liver-stage parasite growth and provided complete causal prophylactic protection. This efficacy is 15 fold greater than that observed for microparticle decoquinate, which requires minimal dose of 20 mg/kg for the same inhibitory effect. Further in vitro studies utilizing dose-response assays revealed that decoquinate nanoformulation was substantially more potent than decoquinate microsuspension in killing both liver and blood stage malarial parasites, proving its potential for therapeutic development. In this study, a nanoparticle formulation of decoquinate is shown to have superior bioavailability and efficacy in a mouse model of malaria, paving the way to the development of novel, potentially less toxic and more effective therapeutics to combat a disease that still has an enormous impact on a global scale despite the available partially effective therapies. © 2013.

AN - 1477552558; 24079987 AB - A 28-year-old man presented to the emergency department (ED) 20 minutes after injecting 20 mL of an insecticide containing 0.05% β-cyfluthrin. Upon presentation, he had no complaints; and vital signs demonstrated a sinus tachycardia of 150 beats per minute, blood pressure of 140/65 mm Hg, no fever, and a normal respiratory rate. Further physical examination was notable only for the lack of tremor and the presence of a left antecubital recent injection site. The patient denied use of other drugs that day, but admitted to recent use of methamphetamine. He was taking oxcarbazepine, lurasidone, and venlafaxine for reported bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia. The ED evaluation included an electrocardiogram demonstrating sinus tachycardia, undetectable acetaminophen and salicylate levels, and a urine drug screen that was positive for methamphetamine and tetrahydrocannabinol. The patient was treated with an intravenous fluid bolus of 2000 mL and observed in the ED. Over the course of the subsequent 3 hours, his pulse rate went down to 90/min. He remained asymptomatic and was transferred to the Psychiatric Assessment Unit after approximately 6 hours of observation. We present the first published case of cyfluthrin parenteral human injection. Although this patient experienced a benign clinical course, vigilance for pyrethroid toxic effects such as seizures, severe tremors, diaphoresis, and choreoathetosis is paramount.

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.

AN - 1459564356; 24095615 AB - Selenium (Se) chemistry can be very complex in the natural environment, exhibiting different valence states (-2, 0, +4, +6) representing multiple inorganic, methylated, or complexed forms. Since redox associated shifts among most of known Se species can occur at environmentally relevant conditions, it is important to identify these species in order to assess their potential toxicity to organisms. In June of 2009, researchers from the US Army Engineer Research & Development Center (ERDC) conducted investigations of the fly ash spilled 6 months previously into the Emory River at the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant, TN. Ash samples were collected on site from both the original ash pile (that did not move during the levee failure), from the spill zone (including the Emory River), and from the ash recovery ditch (ARD) containing ash removed during dredging cleanup operations. The purpose of this work was to determine the state of Se in the spilled fly ash and to assess its potential for transformation and resultant chemical stability from its prolonged submersion in the river and subsequent dredging. Sequential chemical extractions suggested that the river environment shifted Se distribution toward organic/sulfide species. Speciation studies by bulk XANES analysis on fly ash samples showed that a substantial portion of the Se in the original ash pile had transformed from inorganic selenite to a mixture of Se sulfide and reduced (organo)selenium (Se(-II)) species over the 6-month period. μ-XRF mapping data showed that significant trends in the co-location of Se domains with sulfur and ash heavy metals. Ten-d extended elutriate tests (EETs) that were bubbled continuously with atmospheric air to simulate worst-case oxidizing conditions during dredging showed no discernible change in the speciation of fly ash selenium. The enhanced stability of the organo- and sulfide-selenium species coincided with the mixture of the ash material with humic materials in the river, corresponding with notable shifts in the ash carbon- and nitrogen-functionality.

AN - 1464500718; 23886498 AB - Respiratory toxicity, injury and treatment following vapor inhalational exposure to the chemical warfare nerve agent (CWNA) soman (GD) were examined in non-anesthetized rats. This study exposed male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300g) to 520, 560, 600, 825 or 1410mg×min/m(3) of soman in a customized head-out inhalation system. Signs of CWNA-induced cholinergic crises were observed in all soman-exposed animals. The LCt50 of vaporized soman as determined by probit analysis was 593.1mg×min/m(3). All animals exposed to 825 and 1410mg×min/m(3) developed severe convulsions and died within 4-8min post-exposure. Edema measured by wet/dry weight ratio of the left lung lobe increased in a dose-dependent manner in all soman-exposed animals. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and blood acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities were inhibited dose-dependently in soman-exposed groups at 24h. A significant increase in total BAL protein was observed in soman-exposed animals at all doses. AChE activity was inhibited in lung and whole brain tissues in all soman-exposed animals. Histopathological analysis of the lungs of animals exposed to 600mg×min/m(3) of soman revealed prominent morphological changes including alveolar histiocytosis, hemorrhage and inflammation consisting of neutrophilic exudate. Exposure of animals to 600mg×min/m(3) of soman followed by treatment with two actuations for 10s of Combivent (21μg of ipratropium bromide and 120μg of albuterol sulfate) and Symbicort (80μg budesonide and 4.5μg formoterol) by inhalation into a modified metered dose inhaler (MDI) 10min post-exposure resulted in increased minute volume, but did not decrease mortality. These results indicate that inhalation exposure to soman vapor causes acute respiratory toxicity and injury in untreated, un-anesthetized rats and that inhalation treatment with Combivent or Symbicort did improve the respiratory outcomes, but did not influence lethality.

The remote locations and cold climate of Alaska provide unique challenges associated with phytoremediation such as finding effective plant species that can achieve successful site cleanup despite the extreme environmental conditions and with minimal site management. A long-term assessment of phytoremediation was performed which capitalized on a study established in Fairbanks in 1995. The original study sought to determine how the introduction of plants (Festuca rubra, Lolium multiflorum), nutrients (fertilizer), or their combination would affect degradation of petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contaminated soils (crude oil or diesel) over time. Within the year following initial treatments, the plots subjected to both planting and/or fertilization showed greater overall decreases in TPH concentrations in both the diesel and crude oil contaminated soils relative to untreated plots. We re-examined this field site after 15years with no active site management to assess the long-term effects of phytoremediation on colonization by native and non-native plants, their rhizosphere microbial communities and on petroleum removal from soil. Native and non-native vegetation had extensively colonized the site, with more abundant vegetation being present on the diesel contaminated soils than the more nutrient poor, more coarse, and acidic crude oil contaminated soils. TPH concentrations achieved regulatory cleanup levels in all treatment groups, with lower TPH concentrations correlating with higher amounts of woody vegetation (trees & shrubs). In addition, original treatment type has affected vegetation recruitment to each plot with woody vegetation and more native plants in unfertilized plots. Bacterial community structure also varies according to the originally applied treatments. This study suggests that initial treatment with native tree species in combination with grasses could be an effective means for phytoremediating petroleum contaminated soils and promoting ecological recovery in cold regions.

In this work, we quantified the factors (pH; flow 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. The 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 flow 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. The Ottawa sand had approximately twice the MnOx(s) coating of aquifer sand. The sequential increase in initial Mn(II) concentrations on both sands resulted in incremental buildup of MnOx(s). The 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, flow 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. The Pb adsorption exceeded 2200 mg kg?1 for the Ottawa sand and 300 mg kg?1 for the aquifer sand.

Advantages of this method include simple instrument deployment, lack of flow disturbance, and relative insensitivity to biofouling and water column stratification. Although this method is being used with increasing frequency in coastal and estuarine environments, to date it has received little direct ground truthing. This study compared in situ estimates of w (sub s) inferred by a 5-MHz ADV to independent in situ observations from a high-definition video settling column over the course of a flood tide in the bottom boundary layer of the York River estuary, Virginia, USA. The ADV-based measurements were found to agree with those of the settling column when the current speed at about 40 cm above the bed was greater than about 20 cm/s. This corresponded to periods when the estimated magnitude of the settling term in the suspended sediment continuity equation was four or more times larger than the time rate of change of concentration. For ADV observations restricted to these conditions, ADV-based estimates of w (sub s) (mean 0.48+ or -0.04 mm/s) were highly consistent with those observed by the settling column (mean 0.45+ or -0.02 mm/s). However, the ADV-based method for estimating w (sub s) was sensitive to the prescribed concentration of the non-settling washload, C (sub wash) . In an objective operational definition, C (sub wash) can be set equal to the lowest suspended solids concentration observed around slack water.

Mirror Lake, New Hampshire, within the Hubbard Brook research area, has long been studied, but its subbottom stratification has only been estimated from coring that revealed up to 13 m of gyttja above about 1 m of Late Wisconsin glacial silt. However, the very low water conductivity of 0.002-0.003 S/m allows exceptional penetration of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) signals. Here we discuss several GPR profiles recorded at pulse center frequencies of 60 and 120 MHz along 300-600 m transects that crossed the entire lake in many directions. With care not to misinterpret multiple reflection horizons, the profiles clearly delineate gyttja, till, bedrock horizons, boulder horizons near shore and deltaic deposition. Hyperbolic backscatter in the well-stratified gyttja may be responses from buried logs because they often occur in nests of close, deepening diffractions and much logging historically occurred. Strong local horizons within the gyttja suggest sediment retransport and focusing, as suggested by Davis and Ford in their 1982 interpretation of cores. The generally deeper and underlying till is characterized by sections of dense diffractions. In some profile sections internal till horizons appear draped over the bedrock horizons. In others parallel and deep horizons may be responses to bedrock fractures. Using estimated minimal wave speeds based on maximum possible dielectric permittivities calculated from assumed saturated conditions, and partly verified by diffraction interpretation after statics removal, our 60 MHz profiles show gyttja (permittivity no greater than 53) thicknesses of at least 11 m, till (permittivity no greater than 33) thicknesses of at least 25 m and depths to bedrock (Littleton schist) up to 28 m. This till thickness far exceeds the average 4-5 m on the surrounding slopes of the Hubbard Brook watershed. We will return with more powerful and lower frequency antennas during January 2014 to try to find deeper gyttja horizons and more continuity in the bedrock horizons, while improving our positioning by using the ice cover.

This program addresses issues arising from the use of geophysical techniques to solve engineering problems through persistent monitoring of critical infrastructure using infrasound. In the original 2006-2009 study of a railroad bridge in Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, the fundamental modes of motion of the structure were detected at up to 30 km away, with atmospheric excitation deemed to be the source driver. Follow-on research focused on the mechanically driven modes excited by traffic, with directional acoustic emanations. The success of the Ft. Wood ambient excitation study resulted in several subsequent programs to push the boundaries of this new technique for standoff assessment, discussed herein. Detection of scour and river system health monitoring are serious problems for monitoring civil infrastructure, from both civilian and military perspectives. Knowledge of overall system behavior over time is crucial for assessment of bridge foundations and barge navigation. This research focuses on the same steel-truss bridge from the Ft. Wood study, and analyzes 3D and 2D substructure models coupled with the superstructure reaction loads to assess the modal deformations within the infrasound bandwidth and the correlation to scour of embedment material. The Urban infrasound program is infrasound modeling, data analysis, and sensor research leading to the detection, classification and localization of threat activities in complex propagation environments. Three seismo-acoustic arrays were deployed on rooftops across the Southern Methodist University campus in Dallas, Texas, to characterize the urban infrasound environment. Structural sources within 15 km of the arrays have been identified through signal processing and confirmed through acoustical models. Infrasound is also being studied as a means of structural impact assessment. The Interstate-20 Mississippi River Bridge in Vicksburg, MS is a 7 span, cantilever bridge. On March 23, 2011, a barge moving downstream struck a pier of the bridge. Infrasound stations located approximately 4.5 km away detected the impact. Coincidentally, ERDC had instrumented the bridge with strain gages and accelerometers as part of a structural health monitoring project. Finite Element (FE) models were developed to investigate the structural behavior of the bridge due to the impact, with experimental data and FE models validating source mechanism of the infrasound from the bridge. Health assessment of large dams, whether for flood control or power generation, is critical for both civilian and military applications. Ambient excitations can induce measurable responses in the dam, adjacent foundation and in the reservoir, some of which are in the infrasound passband. The Portugues Dam outside of Ponce, Puerto Rico, is being investigated. Currently in the final stages of construction, infrasound array data collections over all four seasons before and after the opening of the dam will provide a seasonally variable database, begun in July 2013. Impulsive excitation using an instrumented Cold Gas thruster (CGT) instrumented with a dynamic force sensor induces transient frequency responses in the dam, reservoir, and along the dam-foundation interface below 20 Hz, to allow for controlled source validation.

The dam may 'self-rehabilitate' if a properly designed granular filter is engineered around the embankment. Currently, the design criteria for such filters have only been based on experimental studies. We demonstrate the numerical prediction of filter effectiveness at the soil grain scale and relate it to the larger dam scale. Validated computer predictions highlight that a resilient (or durable) filter is consistent with the current design specifications for dam filters. These predictive simulations, unlike the design specifications, can be used to assess filter success or failure under different soil or loading conditions and can lead to meaningful estimates of the timing and nature of full-scale dam failure.

We detected statistically significant change (99% confidence interval), defined as contiguous areas (>10 m (super 2) ) that had changed in height by at least 0.55 m, in 0.3% of the study region. Erosional features indicative of ice-rich permafrost degradation were associated with ice-bonded coastal, river, and lake bluffs, frost mounds, ice wedges, and thermo-erosional gullies. These features accounted for about half of the area where vertical change was detected. Inferred thermo-denudation and thermo-abrasion of coastal and river bluffs likely accounted for the dominant permafrost-related degradational processes with respect to area (42%) and volume (51%). More than 300 thermokarst pits significantly subsided during the study period, likely as a result of storm surge flooding of low-lying tundra (<1.4 m asl) as well as the lasting impact of warm summers in the late-1980s and mid-1990s. Our results indicate that repeat airborne LiDAR can be used to detect landscape change in arctic coastal lowland regions at large spatial scales over sub-decadal time periods.

To support selection of an appropriate endpoint, i.e., the VOC concentration at which the remedy can be terminated for site closure or for transition to another remedy, an evaluation is needed to determine whether vadose zone contamination has been diminished sufficiently to protect groundwater. When vapor-phase diffusive transport is an important component of the overall contaminant fate and transport from a vadose zone source, a numerical analysis has shown that the expected groundwater concentration is controlled by a limited set of parameters, including site-specific dimensions, vadose zone properties, and source characteristics. Based on that approach, a framework was developed for estimating the VOC concentration in groundwater emanating from a vadose zone source. The framework uses results from three-dimensional VOC transport simulations for a matrix of parameter value combinations covering a range of potential site conditions. Interpolation and scaling processes are then applied to estimate contaminant concentrations at compliance (monitoring) wells for specific site conditions of interest. The framework has been incorporated into a user-friendly Microsoft(Registered) Excel(Registered)-based spreadsheet tool, which is made available to the public. The spreadsheet methodology provides a less computationally intensive alternative to three-dimensional multiphase modeling, while still allowing for parameter sensitivity and uncertainty analyses. In many cases, the framework spreadsheet may be appropriate to consider the effect of a diminishing vadose zone source over time. In this presentation, the conceptual model and spreadsheet development will be discussed.

New, advanced technologies exist to sense chemical signatures and gas leakage at the land/atmosphere interface, but interpretation of sensor signals remains a challenge. Chemical vapors are subject to numerous interactions while migrating through the soil environment, masking source conditions. The process governing movement of gases through porous media is often assumed to be Fickian diffusion through the air phase with minimal quantification of other processes, such as convective gas flow and temporal or spatial variation in soil moisture. Vapor migration is affected by atmospheric conditions (e.g. humidity, temperature, wind velocity), soil thermal and hydraulic properties and contaminant properties, all of which are physically and thermodynamically coupled. The complex coupling of two drastically different flow regimes in the subsurface and atmosphere is commonly ignored in modeling efforts, or simplifying assumptions are made to treat the systems as de-coupled. Experimental data under controlled laboratory settings are lacking to refine the theory for proper coupling and complex treatment of vapor migration through porous media in conversation with atmospheric flow and climate variations. Improving fundamental understanding and accurate quantification of these processes is not feasible in field settings due to lack of controlled initial and boundary conditions and inability to fully characterize the subsurface at all relevant scales. The goal of this work is to understand the influence of changes in atmospheric conditions to transport of vapors through variably saturated soil. We have developed a tank apparatus with a network of soil and atmospheric sensors and a head space for air flow to simulate the atmospheric boundary layer. Experiments were performed under varying temperature values at the soil surface bounded by the atmospheric boundary layer. The model of Smits et al. [2011], accounting for non-equilibrium phase change and coupled heat, water vapor and liquid water flux through soil, was amended to include organic vapor in the gas phase and migration mechanisms often overlooked in models (thermal and Knudsen diffusion, density driven advection). Experimental results show increased vapor mass flux across the soil/atmospheric interface due to heat applied from the atmosphere and coupling of heat and mass transfer in the shallow subsurface for both steady and diurnal temperature patterns. Comparison of model results to experimental data shows dynamic interactions between transport in porous media and boundary conditions. Results demonstrate the value of considering interactions of the atmosphere and subsurface to better understand chemical gas transport through unsaturated soils and the land/atmospheric interface.

Current and potential future applications of geophysical techniques to identify subsurface permafrost conditions AN - 1680753624; 2015-040573 AB - For infrastructure design, operations, and maintenance requirements in the North the ability to accurately and efficiently detect the presence (or absence) of ground ice in permafrost terrains is a serious challenge. Ground ice features including ice wedges, thermokarst cave-ice, and segregation ice are present in a variety of spatial scales and patterns. Currently, most engineering applications use borehole logging and sampling to extrapolate conditions at the point scale. However, there is high risk of over or under estimating the presence of frozen or unfrozen features when relying on borehole information alone. In addition, boreholes are costly, especially for planning linear structures like roads or runways. Predicted climate warming will provide further challenges for infrastructure development and transportation operations where permafrost degradation occurs. Accurately identifying the subsurface character in permafrost terrains will allow engineers and planners to cost effectively create novel infrastructure designs to withstand the changing environment. There is thus a great need for a low cost rapidly deployable, spatially extensive means of "measuring" subsurface conditions. Geophysical measurements, both terrestrial and airborne, have strong potential to revolutionize our way of mapping subsurface conditions. Many studies in continuous and discontinuous permafrost have used geophysical measurements to identify discrete features and repeatable patterns in the subsurface. The most common measurements include galvanic and capacitive coupled resistivity, ground penetrating radar, and multi frequency electromagnetic induction techniques. Each of these measurements has strengths, weaknesses, and limitations. By combining horizontal geophysical measurements, downhole geophysics, multispectral remote sensing images, LiDAR measurements, and soil and vegetation mapping we can start to assemble a holistic view of how surface conditions and standoff measurements can be used to delineate subsurface permafrost geomorphology. This presentation will include examples of projects in Alaska and Greenland where a combination of geophysical and other measurement techniques have been used to identify subsurface conditions. These include projects at multiple locations around Interior Alaska where a variety of ground based and standoff measurements are being used to identify subsurface conditions, and infrastructure projects at Thule, Greenland, where geophysical measurements are being used to cut costs for new construction and maintenance. The expansion of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratories' Fox Permafrost Tunnel is to provide a three dimensional test bed for geophysical measurements, and construction is aided by geophysical measurements. The array of geophysical research tools used to interrogate the subsurface in permafrost terrains can likely provide worthwhile information in non-frozen ground terrains to support sensor development and geomorphological interpretation.

Observations over the past two decades have documented changes including notable increases in ice discharge, significant warming in coastal regions, and expanded areal extent of annual surface melt (e.g., Rignot and Thomas, 2002; Mote, 2007; Hanna and others, 2008). In contrast, observations document little change in temperature or accumulation in the central regions of the ice sheet (Hanna and others, 2008, 2011). The 1120 km-long Greenland Inland Traverse (GrIT), between Thule Air Base in northwest Greenland and Summit Station in central Greenland, is a logistics traverse that follows a nearly identical route taken by Carl Benson and the US Army Snow, Ice and Permafrost Research Establishment (SIPRE) between 1952 and 1955 (Benson, 1962). Observations from the SIPRE and GrIT traverses provide two snapshots of surface conditions across the northwest region of the GIS separated by 56 years. Hawley and others (in review) observe an increase in snow accumulation rates along the GrIT traverse route based on internal reflecting horizons in radar data dated with firn cores, with larger accumulation increases observed in the coastal region near Thule. Here we expand upon the analysis of Hawley and others (in review) by determining coast-to-interior gradients in snow accumulation, density, hardness (Rammsonde), and snow chemistry using samples from 18 snow pits and 3 firn cores collected during the 2010 and 2011 GrIT traverses. Snow pit and firn core samples were analyzed for trace element ( (super 23) Na, (super 24) Mg, (super 27) Al, (super 32) S, (super 39) K, (super 44) Ca, (super 47) Ti, (super 51) V, (super 52) Cr, (super 55) Mn, (super 56) Fe, (super 59) Co, (super 63) Cu, (super 66) Zn, (super 75) As, (super 88) Sr, (super 111) Cd, (super 133) Cs, (super 138) Ba, (super 139) La, (super 140) Ce, (super 141) Pr, (super 208) Pb, (super 209) Bi, (super 238) U) concentrations and stable water isotope ratios (delta D, delta (super 18) O), and were dated by seasonal oscillations in chemical concentrations and isotope ratios. We compare the GrIT data to those of Benson to determine changes in physical parameters over the past 56 years. Firn cores collected from coastal (2Barrel; 76.9317 degrees N, 63.1467 degrees W) and interior (Galen, 74.4223 degrees N, 39.2943 degrees W; Owen, 72.6 degrees N, 38.5 degrees W) locations along the traverse provide a multi-decadal context to the snow pit snapshots, and allow us to investigate temporal trends in accumulation. Furthermore, we utilize climate reanalysis data to investigate associated changes over the past half-century in surface temperature, atmospheric circulation (e.g., North Atlantic Oscillation) and sea ice extent.

However, a unified program across the Department of Defense (DoD) that meets family needs and connects to communities is elusive. Military Family Life Project data show that participation in many programs is limited, but when the programs are used, they often work well. The data suggest the 'coercive bureaucracy' that envelopes the military extends to the family and limits motivation to utilize programs. We propose that the military employ the Self-Determination Theory to motivate families to elevate above basic survival so they can thrive. With 73% of families living outside of military installations, their participation in programs will require community involvement because the government cannot meet the needs of most families by itself. Connecting government and community programs requires a transparent unified program structure. We propose that product life-cycle management will elucidate and integrate existing programs across the entire service life cycle and enhance community connectivity.

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.

In particular, national governments, including the U.S. Government, do not yet have well-formed cyber attack policies and strategies or the frameworks around which to build them.[1] Furthermore, accelerating changes in power distribution, cyber technology, and other dynamics of the strategic environment exacerbate the dearth of open, distinct, and explicit cyber attack guidance. If such well-defined guidance did exist, what questions would one reasonably expect it to answer? On what intellectual foundation should a state build its cyber attack policy and strategy? If an outsider wanted to understand an actor's strategic guidance, what clues would he look for? Adapted from the source document.

First, when the Department of Defense (DOD) revised its security cooperation doctrine, it did so assuming a relatively unrestricted environment. Second, the Arms Export Control Act and the Foreign Assistance Act, statutory authorities supporting U.S. security cooperation with foreign governments, were largely developed during the Cold War. The former's broad construct does not fully account for statutory authorities and the constraints of fiscal resources while the latter does not account for current global realities. Taken in combination, these two conditions limit the ability of the United States to use security cooperation for achieving its objectives in fragile or failing states. The resulting disconnect creates varied policy interpretations and gaps that must be closed for effective security cooperation in the 21st century. The purpose of this article is to highlight the security cooperation potential that organizations could use to meet our nation's capacity-building strategic objectives, identify shortfalls in doctrine and authorizations, and propose solutions.

This work specifically addresses the assessment of downwind agent vapor concentration resulting from an evaporating simulant droplet. A previously developed methodology was used to estimate the mass diffusivities of the chemical warfare agent simulants methyl salicylate, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, di-ethyl malonate, and chloroethyl phenyl sulfide. Along with the diffusivity of the chemical warfare agent bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, the simulant diffusivities were used in an advection-diffusion model to predict the vapor concentrations downwind from an evaporating droplet of each chemical at various wind velocities and temperatures. The results demonstrate that the simulant-to-agent concentration ratio and the corresponding vapor pressure ratio are equivalent under certain conditions. Specifically, the relationship is valid within ranges of measurement locations relative to the evaporating droplet and observation times. The valid ranges depend on the relative transport properties of the agent and simulant, and whether vapor transport is diffusion or advection dominant.

Concentrations of major ions and black carbon have been quantified in these samples. We will discuss spatial patterns in both the concentrations in near surface layers and the inventories (mass/unit area) over different water equivalent depth intervals of these impurities as indicators of provenance of the snow falling on different regions along the 4000 km traverse route. Surface albedo measurements made at each sampling location will also be compared to the burden and depth profiles of the major absorbing impurities, black carbon, and calcium (a tracer of dust). Preliminary assessment of the relationship between impurity concentrations and snow microphysical characteristics (describe more fully by Courville at al.) in individual pit strata will also be presented.

In situ measurements capture variability over very short time intervals, but with limited spatial coverage and significant cost and risk to employ. Conversely, airborne and satellite remote sensing is capable of measuring changes over large spatial extents but at limited temporal sampling. Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning (TLS) combines rapid acquisition capabilities of in situ measurements with the broad spatial coverage of traditional remote sensing. This paper describes efforts to develop and field a new long-range (6-10 km) terrestrial full-waveform LiDAR scanner that is optimized for glaciated environments. Our work seeks to gain insights into the processes of glacier flow and terminus dynamics on two of the world's most active tidewater glaciers. Helheim Glacier, a large East Greenland outlet glacier is known to move at speeds >25 m/d near its terminus; rapid readjustments in speed are also know to occur following terminus retreat. Hubbard Glacier, located in southeast Alaska an outlet glacier flowing 90 Km out of the St Elias mountains is approximately 13 km across at its terminus, exhibits flow rates up to 5 m/d and is advancing and thickening. These two glacial systems have similar characteristics yet represent inverse phases of tidewater glacier activity. Our understanding of these processes is limited by incomplete observational datasets. Most TLS instruments operate in the near-infrared spectrum (1550 nm), which greatly limits range (<150 m) and its application as a tool for long-range standoff glaciology. High spatial and temporal resolution surveys were conducted at Helheim Glacier during the summer of 2012 and 2013 and surveys were conducted at Hubbard Glacier in the spring of 2013. Both were conducted over multi-day periods ranging from 3-7 days. Preliminary results from these surveys have allowed us to quantify short-term horizontal displacement rates and terminus activities at temporal and spatial resolutions previously not possible. Furthermore, these results allow for a comparative analysis of two similar yet different tidewater glacier systems representing altering phases of dynamic activity. Identifying the operational limitations of these sensors in our work is a key guide to the optimal design characteristics for new, improved LiDAR instruments for campaign deployments in glacierized environments.

Recent advances of Hubbard Glacier (1986 and 2002) caused the damming of Russell Fjord, creating one of the largest glacier-dammed lakes on the continent and exposing the community of Yakutat to a host of potential hazards. Detailed observations of the terminus of Hubbard Glacier were conducted during a field campaign in May 2013. Ground-based radar interferometer (GBRI) and ground-based light detection and ranging (LiDAR) scanning systems were deployed to observe changes in ice motion in response to calving events and tidal cycles. GBRI and LiDAR units were co-located and data acquisition was synchronized to maximize data recovery and to aid inter-system comparisons. Observations from ground-based scanners were also compared to meteorological and tidal measurements and to time-lapse photography and satellite data. Both ground-based scanning systems capture ice motion at very high resolution, but each offer specific technical and logistical advantages. The combination of these ground-based remote sensing techniques allows us to quantify high-frequency changes in the velocity and surface deformation at the terminus of Hubbard Glacier and to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms associated with advancing tidewater termini.

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. Adapted from the source document.

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.

Almost all the components of the model system, including the terrain data processing, morphological data generation, meteorological data gathering and initialization, and displaying/visualizing the model results, have been improved by using this approach. Different from the traditional stand-along model system, this novel system takes advantages of enormous resources in map and image data retrieving/handling, four-dimensional (space and time) data visualization, overlaying, and many other advanced GIS features that the Google Maps/Earth platform has to offer. We have developed modular components for all of the model system controls and data processing programs which are glued together with the JavaScript language and KML/XML data. We have also developed small modular software using the Google application program interface to convert the model results and intermediate data for visualizations and animations. Capabilities such as high-resolution image, street view, and 3D buildings in the Google Earth/Map are also used to quickly generate small-scale vegetation and building morphology data that are required for the microscale meteorological models. This system has also been applied to visualize the data from other instruments such as Doppler wind lidars. Because of the tight integration of the internet based GIS and a microscale meteorology model, the model system is more versatile, intuitive, and user-friendly than a stand-along system we had developed before. This kind of system will enhance the user experience and also help researchers to explore new phenomena in fine-scale meteorology. Abstract Copyright (2013) Elsevier, B.V.

In response, regulatory authorities call for focusing attention on enhancing infrastructure resilience. For example, in the USA, President Obama issued an Executive Order and policy directives focusing on improving the resilience and security of cyber infrastructure to a wide range of cyber threats. Despite the national and international importance, resilience metrics to inform management decisions are still in the early stages of development. We apply the resilience matrix framework developed by Linkov et al. (Environ Sci Technol 47:10108-10110, 2013) to develop and organize effective resilience metrics for cyber systems. These metrics link national policy goals to specific system measures, such that resource allocation decisions can be translated into actionable interventions and investments. In this paper, a number of metrics have been identified and assessed using quantitative and qualitative measures found in the literature. We have proposed a generic approach and could integrate actual data, technical judgment, and literature-based measures to assess system resilience across physical, information, cognitive, and social domains.

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.

AN - 1459565616; 23927578 AB - As observed in the aftermath of the anthrax attacks of 2001, decontamination and remediation of a site contaminated by the accidental or intentional release of Bacillus anthracis spores is difficult, costly and potentially damaging to the environment. The identification of novel strategies that neutralize the threat of spores while minimizing environmental damage remains a high priority. We investigated the efficacy of d-cycloserine (DCS), an antibiotic and inhibitor of the spore-associated enzyme (alanine racemase) responsible for converting l-alanine to d-alanine, as a spore germination enhancer and antimicrobial agent. We characterized the impact of DCS exposure on both germinating spores and vegetative cells of fully virulent B. anthracis by evaluating spore germination kinetics, determining the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) required to affect growth of the bacteria and performing macrophage viability assays. DCS enhanced germination induced by l-alanine and also efficiently killed the newly germinated spores. Furthermore, DCS proved nontoxic to macrophages at concentrations that provided protection from the killing effects of spores. Similar tests were conducted with Bacillus thuringiensis (subspecies kurstaki and Al Hakam) to determine its potential as a possible surrogate for B. anthracis field trials. Bacillus thuringiensis spores responded in a similar manner to B. anthracis spores when exposed to DCS. These results further support that DCS augments the germination response of spores in the presence of l-alanine but also reveal that DCS is bactericidal towards germinating spores. DCS (or similar compounds) may be uniquely suited for use as part of decontamination strategies by augmenting the induction of spore germination and then rendering the germinated spores nonviable. © 2013.

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.

PQ0002463178 AB - The purposes of this study were to determine the following: 1) the threshold between 2500-4300 m at which simple and complex military task performance is degraded; 2) whether the degree of degradation, if any, is related to changes in altitude illness, fatigue, or sleepiness at a given altitude; and 3) whether the level of hypoxemia, independent of altitude, affects simple and complex military task performance. Disassembly and reassembly of a weapon (DsAs, simple), rifle marksmanship (RM, complex), acute mountain sickness (AMS), fatigue, sleepiness, and arterial oxygen saturation (S[suba]O[sub 2]) were measured at sea level (SL), and after 8 h (HA8) and 30 h (HA3O) of exposure to each altitude. DsAs did not change from SL to HA8 or HA3O at any altitude. Simple psychomotor performance was not affected by exposures between 2500-4300 m; however, complex psychomotor performance (i.e., RM speed) was degraded at 4300 m most likely due to increased sleepiness. Greater levels of hypoxemia were associated with greater decrements in RM speed.

Degradation of permafrost has the potential to dramatically affect soil thermal, hydrological, and vegetation regimes. Projections of long-term effects of climate warming on high latitude ecosystems require a coupled representation of soil thermal state and hydrological dynamics. Such a framework was developed to explicitly simulate the soil moisture effects of soil thermal conductivity and heat capacity and its effects on hydrological response. The model is the result of coupling the Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA) model with the Geophysical Institute Permafrost Laboratory (GIPL) model. The GIPL model simulates soil temperature dynamics, the depth of seasonal freezing and thawing, and the permafrost location by numerically solving a one-dimensional nonlinear heat equation with phase change. The GSSHA model is a spatially explicit hydrological model that simulates two dimensional groundwater flow and one-dimensional vadose zone flow. These two models were combined by incorporating the GIPL model into the GSSHA model. The GIPL model is used to compute a soil temperature profile in every two-dimensional GSSH A grid. GSSHA uses this information to adjust hydraulic conductivities for both the vertical unsaturated soil flow and lateral saturated groundwater flow. Test case results indicate that freezing temperatures reduces soil storage capacity thereby producing higher peak discharges and lower base flow.

Although TMUV has been isolated from several mosquito species in Asia, no studies have ever shown competent vectors for this virus. Therefore, we allowed mosquitoes captured near Sangkhlaburi to feed on young chickens that had been infected with TMUV. These mosquitoes were tested approximately 2 weeks later to determine infection, dissemination, and transmission rates. Culex vishnui developed high viral titers after feeding on TMUV-infected chicks and readily transmitted virus to naive chickens. In contrast, Cx. fuscocephala seemed less susceptible to infection, and more importantly, zero of five fuscocephala with a disseminated infection transmitted virus by bite, indicating a salivary gland barrier. These results provide evidence for the involvement of Culex mosquitoes in the transmission of TMUV in the environment.

Studies were designed to generate ecotoxicological benchmarks that can be used for developing ecological soil-screening levels for ecological risk assessments of contaminated soils and to identify and characterize the predominant soil physicochemical parameters that can affect the toxicities of TNT and RDX to E. crypticus. Soils, which had a wide range of physicochemical parameters, included Teller sandy loam, Sassafras sandy loam, Richfield clay loam, Kirkland clay loam, and Webster clay loam. Analyses of quantitative relationships between the toxicological benchmarks for TNT and soil property measurements identified soil organic matter content as the dominant property mitigating TNT toxicity for juvenile production by E. crypticus in freshly amended soil. Both the clay and organic matter contents of the soil modulated reproduction toxicity of TNT that was weathered and aged in soil for 3 mo. Toxicity of RDX for E. crypticus was greater in the coarse-textured sandy loam soils compared with the fine-textured clay loam soils. The present studies revealed alterations in toxicity to E. crypticus after weathering and aging TNT in soil, and these alterations were soil- and endpoint-specific.

As such, ice from the AH BIA could potentially be used to extend the ice core record of paleoclimate beyond 800 ka. We collected samples from 5 to 10 cm depth along a 5 km transect through the main icefield and drilled a 225 m ice core (S27) at the midpoint of the transect to develop the climate archive of the AH BIA. Stable water isotope measurements (delta D) of the surface chips and of ice core S27 yield comparable signals, indicating that the climate record has not been significantly altered in the surface ice. Measurements of (super 40) Ar (sub atm) and delta (super 18) O (sub atm) taken from ice core S27 and eight additional shallow ice cores constrain the age of the ice to approximately 90-250 ka. Our findings provide a framework around which future investigations of potentially older ice in the AH BIA could be based. Abstract Copyright (2013) Elsevier, B.V.

The military is an organization with a unique professional and social organization. Evaluating military attitudes from a network perspective may offer insight into the role of formal and informal leadership in engendering attitudinal change and cultural tolerance around homosexuality. This study evaluates the role of network centrality and network exposure across formal (command networks) and informal (friendship and perceived leadership networks) structures on attitudes toward homosexuality in the military. This work analyzes survey data from a single cadet company within the U.S. Military Academy (n = 139) prior to the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Results indicate that popular students tend to show tolerance toward homosexuality, whereas those who hold command leadership positions are more likely to have personal and professional opposition to homosexuality. In addition, formal superior-subordinate relationships are somewhat more likely to suggest social contagion compared to informal leadership and friendship relationships. Recommendations offer guidance for training strategies particularly with respect to a military leaders and socialization. Future research should monitor these issues relative to the post-DADT environment. Adapted from the source document.

S. Army recruits AN - 1496665033; 201401126 AB - Personality assessment tools have been studied as predictors of performance in civilian and military work settings. The Tailored Adaptive Personality Assessment System (TAPAS) was developed to improve selection of new military recruits by predicting motivational outcomes such as job effort, physical fitness, and drive to perform at high standards. The purpose of this study is to examine the utility of TAPAS as a predictor of psychiatric morbidity and early discharge in a sample of 15,082 Army, active duty, enlisted, nonprior service recruits. Associations between TAPAS personality dimension score quintiles and mental disorder diagnoses, attrition, and health care utilization in United States Army recruits who took TAPAS in the fiscal year 2010 were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression and log-linear modeling. TAPAS physical conditioning dimension scores were predictive of mental disorder diagnosis and attrition, with TAPAS scorers in the lowest quintile at increased odds of early discharge (odds ratio [OR]: 2.08, 95% CI 1.73, 2.51), mental disorder diagnosis (OR: 1.41, 95% CI 1.20, 1.66) and greater mental health care utilization (1.61, 95% CI 1.46, 1.78) compared with TAPAS scorers in the highest quintile. Results indicated that TAPAS may have an important use as a mental health fitness screening tool for those who wish to serve in the military by identifying a limited high risk group of applicants for mental health diagnostic evaluation. TAPAS may augment current cognitive and educational screens and potentially reduce the burden of mental disorders and premature attrition.

AN - 1496664710; 201402352 AB - The period after returning from combat deployment is a dynamic time for relationships. Anecdotally, some couples report their relationship is stronger after the deployment and others report the onset of marital problems. In a sample of 194 soldiers, we examined the association between combat exposure, mental health symptoms, aggressive behaviors, and intent to divorce or separate during the 4- and 9- month post-deployment period. At Time 1, 37% soldiers reported problems in their marriage and the degree of marital distress was positively associated with PTSD symptoms, depressive symptoms, and aggression. Time 2 intent to divorce or separate was bivariately associated with Time 1 marital distress, relationship psychological aggression, and PTSD re-experiencing symptoms; there were also trends for combat exposure and general aggression to be bivariately associated with Time 2 intent to divorce or separate. Further, there was a significant interaction between marital distress and combat exposure such that military personnel with a combination of high levels of combat exposure and marital distress were at heightened risk for intent to divorce at Time 2, even after accounting for PTSD symptoms. This finding suggests higher levels of combat exposure may influence willingness to stay in a distressed marriage; possible mechanisms for this, such as changes in life priorities, are discussed.

Participants were exposed to bright light while pupil size was monitored using an eye tracker; eyewear was configured across four transition conditions: constant low-light filtering, constant high-light filtering, variable-light filtering in response to light detection and a control condition without eyewear. Before light onset, pupil diameter was largest in the high-filter condition, medium in the variable- and low-light filtering conditions and smallest in the control condition. Following light onset, the low-light filtering and control conditions, and the high-light filtering and variable-light filtering conditions converged over time. Critically, automatically transitioning between low- and high-light filtering reduced the magnitude (approximately 0.2 mm) and duration (approximately 360 ms) of the pupillary response relative to constant low-light filtering. Practitioner Summary: Emerging civilian and specialised industrial and military eyewear technologies incorporating variable transmission lenses quickly and automatically adapt lens tints to environmental lighting conditions. We demonstrate that this technology alters the dynamics of pupillary light reflexes, optimising the efficiency with which humans can adapt to sudden changes in environmental lighting.

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.

Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is the presumptive remedy for such contamination and has been used successfully for innumerable sites; however, SVE operations typically exhibit reduced mass-removal effectiveness at some point due to the impact of poorly accessible contaminant mass and associated mass-transfer limitations. Assessment of SVE performance and closure is currently based on characterizing contaminant mass discharge associated with the vadose-zone source and its impact on groundwater or vapor intrusion. These issues are addressed in this overview, with a focus on summarizing recent advances in our understanding of the transport, characterization, and remediation of chlorinated solvents in the vadose zone. The evolution of contaminant distribution with time and the associated impacts on remediation efficiency are discussed, as is potential impact of persistent sources on groundwater quality and vapor intrusion. In addition, alternative methods for site characterization and remediation are addressed.

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 sub(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.

AN - 1448208523; 23916749 AB - Two compounds, 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) are the main ingredients in a suite of explosive formulations that are being, or soon will be, fielded at military training ranges. We aim to understand the dissolution characteristics of DNAN and NTO and three insensitive muntions (IM) formulations that contain them. This information is needed to accurately predict the environmental fate of IM constituents, some of which may be toxic to people and the environment. We used Raman spectroscopy to identify the different constituents in the IM formulations and micro computed tomography to image their three-dimensional structure. These are the first three-dimensional images of detonated explosive particles. For multi-component explosives the solubility of the individual constituents and the fraction of each constituent wetted by water controls the dissolution. We found that the order of magnitude differences in solubility amongst the constituents of these IM formulations quickly produced hole-riddled particles when these were exposed to water. Micro-computed tomography showed that particles resulting from field detonations were fractured, producing conduits by which water could access the interior of the particle. We think that micro-computed tomography can also be used to determine the initial composition of IM particles and to track how their compositions change as the particles dissolve. This information is critical to quantifying dissolution and developing physically based dissolution models. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

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.

AN - 1444389970; 23992113 AB - Using electron beam lithography, amorphous Si (a-Si) nanopillars were fabricated with a height of 100 nm and diameters of 100, 200, 300, 500, and 1000 nm. The nanopillars were electrochemically cycled in a 1 M lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate in propylene carbonate electrolyte. In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to qualitatively and quantitatively examine the morphology evolution of the nanopillars including volume and height changes versus voltage in real-time. In the first cycle, an obvious hysteresis of volume change versus voltage during lithiation and delithiation was measured. The pillars did not crack in the first cycle, but a permanent volume expansion was observed. During subsequent cycles the a-Si roughened and deformed from the initial geometry, and eventually pillars with diameters >200 nm fractured. Furthermore, a degradation of mechanical properties is suggested as the 100 and 200 nm pillars were mechanically eroded by the small contact forces under the AFM probe. Ex situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, combined with analysis of the damage caused by in situ AFM imaging, demonstrate that during cycling, the silicon became porous and structurally unstable compared to as-fabricated pillars. This research highlights that even nanoscale a-Si suffers irreversible mechanical damage during cycling in organic electrolytes.

AN - 1443998785; 24045986 AB - Sulfur mustard (SM) is a highly reactive vesicant that causes severe ocular injuries. Following exposure to moderate or high doses, a subset of victims develops a chronic injury known as mustard gas keratopathy (MGK) involving a keratitis of unknown etiopathogenesis with secondary keratopathies such as persistent epithelial lesions, corneal neovascularization, and progressive corneal degeneration. This study was designed to determine whether SM exposure evokes acute endothelial toxicity and to determine whether endothelial pathologies were specifically observed in MGK corneas as opposed to healed corneas. Corneas of New Zealand white rabbits were exposed to SM vapor, and the corneal endothelium was evaluated at 1 day and 8 weeks using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in vivo confocal microscopy (IVM), and fluorescent microscopy. Barrier function was measured by uptake of a fluorescent dye injected into the anterior chamber. A centripetal endothelial injury at 1 day was observed by SEM, TEM, IVM, and fluorescent microscopy. In vivo confocal microscopy revealed additional cytotoxicity between 1 and 13 days. In contrast to healed corneas, which appeared similar to sham-exposed naive eyes at 8 weeks, MGK corneas exhibited significant evidence of continued pathological changes in the endothelium. Endothelial toxicity occurs at the right time and with the appropriate pathophysiology to contribute to MGK. Based on these findings, we propose a model that explains the relationships among SM dose, the biphasic progression, and the various clinical trajectories of corneal SM injury and that provides a mechanism for temporal variations in MGK onset. Finally, we discuss the implications for the management of SM casualties.

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. Abstract Copyright (2013) Elsevier, B.V.

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 lowlevel 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.

Alarmed, Army leaders and researchers have offered various explanations and prescriptions, often lacking any evidence. In the present study, three data sets were used to examine evidence for various perspectives on suicide-dispositional risk, social cognitive, stressor-strain, and social cultural/institutional, each having different emphases on relevant explanatory variables and underlying mechanisms of suicide. Primary risk factors associated with having committed suicide among the 2007-2010 ARNG suicide cases were age (young), gender (male), and race (white), supporting the dispositional risk perspective on suicide. Some evidence supported the stressor-strain perspective in that postdeployment loss of a significant other and a major life change showed statistically significant, yet weaker associations with increased suicide intentions. Implications of results are discussed for future research and preventive strategies.

The eutrophication model is part of a larger model package and is forced, in part, by models of atmospheric deposition, watershed flows and loads, and hydrodynamics. Results from the model are compared with observations in multiple formats including time series plots, cumulative distribution plots, and statistical summaries. The model indicates only one long-term trend in computed water quality: light attenuation deteriorates circa 1993 through the end of the simulation. The most significant result is the influence of physical processes, notably stratification and associated effects (e.g., anoxic volume), on computed water quality. Within the application period, physical effects are more important determinants of year-to-year variability in computed water quality than external loads.

Three unstructured coastal circulation models (ADCIRC, FVCOM, and SELFE) validated with similar skill on a new common Gulf scale mesh (ULLR) with identical frictional parameterization and forcing for the tidal validation and hurricane hindcasts. Coupled circulation and wave models, SWAN+ADCIRC and WWMII+SELFE, along with FVCOM loosely coupled with SWAN, also validated with similar skill. NOAA's official operational forecast storm surge model (SLOSH) was implemented on local and Gulf scale meshes with the same wind stress and pressure forcing used by the unstructured models for hindcasts of Ike and Rita. SLOSH's local meshes failed to capture regional processes such as Ike's forerunner and the results from the Gulf scale mesh further suggest shortcomings may be due to a combination of poor mesh resolution, missing internal physics such as tides and nonlinear advection, and SLOSH's internal frictional parameterization. In addition, these models were benchmarked to assess and compare execution speed and scalability for a prototypical operational simulation. It was apparent that a higher number of computational cores are needed for the unstructured models to meet similar operational implementation requirements to SLOSH, and that some of them could benefit from improved parallelization and faster execution speed.

Health interventions (e.g., increased access to health services and safe water) designed to address this problem are difficult to implement in resource-limited settings. In this paper, we present a tool for understanding the complex relationship between water and public health in rural areas of a developing country. A spatial and temporal agent-based model (ABM) was developed to simulate the current water, sanitation, and health status in two villages in Limpopo Province, South Africa. The model was calibrated using empirical data and published sources. It was used to simulate the effects of poor water quality on the frequency of diarrheal episodes in children, and consequently on child development. Preliminary simulation results show that at the current total coliform levels in the water sources of the studied villages, children are expected to experience stunting by as much as -1.0 standard deviations from the World Health Organization height norms. With minor modifications, the calibrated ABM can be used to design and evaluate intervention strategies for improving child health in these villages. The model can also be applied to other regions worldwide that face the same environmental challenges and conditions as the studied villages. Adapted from the source document.

We have undertaken the first systematic experimental effort to understand the effects of magnetite for ground-penetrating radar (GPR) characterization of the shallow subsurface. Laboratory experiments were conducted to study how homogeneous magnetite-sand mixtures and magnetite concentrated in layers affect the propagation behavior (velocity, attenuation) of high-frequency GPR waves and the reflection characteristics of a buried target. Important observations were that magnetite had a strong effect on signal velocity and reflection, at magnitudes comparable to what has been observed in small-scale laboratory experiments that measured electromagnetic properties of magnetite-silica mixtures. Magnetite also altered signal attenuation and affected the reflection characteristics of buried targets. Our results indicated important implications for several fields, including land mine detection, Martian exploration, engineering, and moisture mapping using satellite remote sensing and radiometers.

The model of these regions is unified with the system-wide model but places emphasis on locally significant components and processes, notably submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), sediment resuspension, and their interaction with light attenuation (Ke). The SAV model is found to be most suited for computing the equilibrium distribution of perennial species. Addition of plant structure and propagation are recommended to improve representation of observed trends in SAV area. Two approaches are taken to examining shallow-water Ke. The first compares observed and computed differences between deep- and shallow-water Ke. No consistent difference in observations is noted. In the preponderance of regions examined, computed shallow-water Ke exceeds computed deep-water Ke. The second approach directly compares Ke measured in shallow water with modeled results. Model values are primarily lower than observed, in contrast to results in deep water where model values exceed observed. The shortfall in computed Ke mirrors a similar shortfall in computed suspended solids. Improved model representation of Ke requires process-based investigations into suspended solids dynamics as well as increased model resolution in shallow-water regions.

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.

Increasing rates of H. pylori clarithromycin resistance has led to higher rates of disease development. Because antibiotic resistance involves modifications of outer membrane proteins (OMP) in other Gram-negative bacteria, this study focuses on identification of H. pylori OMP's using comparative proteomic analyses of clarithromycin-susceptible and -resistant H. pylori strains. Comparative proteomics analyses of isolated sarcosine-insoluble OMP fractions from clarithromycin-susceptible and -resistant H. pylori strains were performed by 1) one dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis protein separation and 2) in-gel digestion of the isolated proteins and mass spectrometry analysis by Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. Iron-regulated membrane protein, UreaseB, EF-Tu, and putative OMP were down-regulated; HopT (BabB) transmembrane protein, HofC, and OMP31 were up-regulated in clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori. Western blotting and real time PCR, respectively, validated UreaseB subunit and EF-Tu changes at the protein level, and mRNA expression of HofC and HopT. This limited proteomic study provides evidence that alteration of the outer membrane proteins' profile may be a novel mechanism involved in clarithromycin resistance in H. pylori.

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 steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss at 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.

It can contribute to significant performance deficits and crucial safety lapses. Despite maximal implementation of accepted techniques and best practices for mitigation strategies, the deployed military rotary-wing (RW) environment must still contend with substantial fatigue-related issues among aircrew. Methods: We introduce a novel subjective peer-to-peer fatigue rating system recently demonstrated in a deployed military RW environment. Each pilot provides an anonymous weekly fatigue rating for every other pilot in the unit exclusive of self. Median and variance of the peer ratings for each pilot are recorded by the safety officer and tracked over time. Results: The program allows for a multidimensional external perspective on a pilot's fatigue state, relative function, and degree of coping. Scoring is predicated upon the recognition of a significant deviation from a peer's baseline that may include social and interpersonal interactions or the observation of deficits in duty performance. Discussion: The research basis for scientific validity and reliability regarding current peer fatigue scoring systems is exiguous. This novel approach may be of merit, particularly among military aircrew in a deployed-type setting with sustained high workload, operational stress, and limited time for supernumerary tasks. An anonymous subjective peer-to-peer fatigue scoring system is worthy of further scientific investigation, particularly warranting studies of reliability and validity.

AN - 1443389650; 23971725 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.

AN - 1443386887; 23851002 AB - Uncontrolled inflammation contributes to cutaneous damage following exposure to the warfare agent bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide (sulfur mustard, SM). Activation of the p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) precedes SM-induced cytokine secretion in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). This study examined the role of p38-regulated MAPK activated kinase 2 (MK2) during this process. Time course analysis studies using NHEK cells exposed to 200μM SM demonstrated rapid MK2 activation via phosphorylation that occurred within 15 min. p38 activation was necessary for MK2 phosphorylation as determined by studies using the p38 inhibitor SB203580. To compare the role of p38 and MK2 during SM-induced cytokine secretion, small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting these proteins was utilized. TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 secretion was evaluated 24h postexposure, while mRNA changes were quantified after 8h. TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 up regulation at the protein and mRNA level was observed following SM exposure. IL-1β secretion was also elevated despite unchanged mRNA levels. p38 knockdown reduced SM-induced secretion of all the cytokines examined, whereas significant reduction in SM-induced cytokine secretion was only observed with TNF-α and IL-6 following MK2 knockdown. Our observations demonstrate potential activation of other p38 targets in addition to MK2 during SM-induced cytokine secretion. Copyright © 2013. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AN - 1433268160; 23939039 AB - 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.

AN - 1431294535; 23872555 AB - The bacterial SOS response is a well-characterized regulatory network encoded by most prokaryotic bacterial species and is involved in DNA repair. In addition to nucleic acid repair, the SOS response is involved in pathogenicity, stress-induced mutagenesis, and the emergence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance. Using high-throughput sequencing technology (SOLiD RNA-Seq), we analyzed the Burkholderia thailandensis global SOS response to the fluoroquinolone antibiotic, ciprofloxacin (CIP), and the DNA-damaging chemical, mitomycin C (MMC). We demonstrate that a B. thailandensis recA mutant (RU0643) is ∼4-fold more sensitive to CIP in contrast to the parental strain B. thailandensis DW503. Our RNA-Seq results show that CIP and MMC treatment (P < 0.01) resulted in the differential expression of 344 genes in B. thailandensis and 210 genes in RU0643. Several genes associated with the SOS response were induced and include lexA, uvrA, dnaE, dinB, recX, and recA. At the genome-wide level, we found an overall decrease in gene expression, especially for genes involved in amino acid and carbohydrate transport and metabolism, following both CIP and MMC exposure. Interestingly, we observed the upregulation of several genes involved in bacterial motility and enhanced transcription of a B. thailandensis genomic island encoding a Siphoviridae bacteriophage designated E264. Using B. thailandensis plaque assays and PCR with B. mallei ATCC 23344 as the host, we demonstrate that CIP and MMC exposure in B. thailandensis DW503 induces the transcription and translation of viable bacteriophage in a RecA-dependent manner. This is the first report of the SOS response in Burkholderia spp. to DNA-damaging agents. We have identified both common and unique adaptive responses of B. thailandensis to chemical stress and DNA damage.

This paper presents a simplified method to evaluate the increase in elastic buckling strength and corresponding unbraced length due to the improved warping restraint provided by split pipe stiffeners located at the ends of doubly symmetric W-shapes. The solution is based on analytical studies and results from a finite element parametric study validated using large-scale laboratory tests. The laboratory tests include specimens exposed to concentrated loads with split pipe warp restraining devices and others with standard plate stiffeners. The proposed analytic method is based on uniform moment and shows that warping restraint can increase the elastic buckling capacity of a girder by 30% to 100%. The improved warping stiffness can result in increases in the unbraced length in the range of 20% to 35% compared to systems with plate stiffeners.

The index lesion cure rate after 6 months follow-up was 13 of 15 (87%) for WR 279,396 and 9 of 15 (60%) for Paromomycin Alone (P = 0.099). When all treated lesions were included, the final cure rate for WR 279,398-treated patients was again 87%, but the final cure rate for Paromomycin Alone-treated patients was 8 of 15 (53.3%; P = 0.046). Both creams were well tolerated with mild application site reactions being the most frequent adverse event. The increased final cure rate in the WR 279,396 group in this small Phase 2 study suggests that the combination product may provide greater clinical benefit than paromomycin monotherapy against L. panamensis cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Three surface techniques were implemented during construction to determine their effect on successfully restoring target wetland hydrology. The surface treatments, replicated within a randomized complete block design, were: plugging field ditches without altering the land surface (PLUG), plugging the field ditches and roughening the surface (ROUGH), and plugging the field ditches and removing the field crown (CR). Hydrologic conditions for the restoration and a nearby reference site were evaluated based on three years of monitoring data. Daily water table depths between the restoration and reference were within 11cm on average. An initial evaluation found inconsistencies of treatment effect between blocks, and an as-built survey later confirmed surface elevations within Block 3 deviated from the intended design and was excluded from further analysis. Water table and outflow conditions for the remaining treatment plots and the reference were evaluated using several hydrologic criteria. The CR treatment was found to produce the wettest surface conditions and exported the lowest volume of outflow. For the majority of criterion considered, CR also produced significantly wetter conditions than the reference. The PLUG and ROUGH treatments produced similar hydrologic conditions and tracked closely with the median hydrologic conditions in the reference. Based on the results of this study and several others in low lying coastal areas, plugging pre-existing field ditches may be adequate to restore jurisdictional wetland hydrology and match reference hydrologic conditions. However, surface roughening is low cost method to increase surface storage and introduce microtopographic diversity. For many areas, the removal of existing field crown may be cost-prohibitive and produce wetter than desired conditions. Crown removal should be reserved for sites which have borderline historic wetland hydrologic characteristics.

Method: Nine test volunteers, wearing an Army Combat Uniform and body armor, participated in three sessions at 25 degree C/50 % relative humidity (RH); 35 degree C/70 % RH; and 42 degree C/20 % RH. Each session consisted of two 1-h treadmill walks at ~350 W and ~540 W intensity. T sub(s) and HF from six sites on the forehead, sternum, pectoralis, left rib cage, left scapula, and left thigh, and T sub(c) (i.e., core temperature pill used as a suppository) were measured. Multiple linear regressions were conducted to derive algorithms that estimate T sub(c) from T sub(s) and HF at each site. A simple model was developed to simulate influences of thermal conductivity and thickness of the local body tissues on the relationship between T sub(c), T sub(s), and HF. Results: Coefficient of determination (R super(2)) ranged from 0.30 to 0.88, varying with locations and conditions. Good sites for T sub(c) measurement at surface were the sternum, and a combination of the sternum, scapula, and rib sites. The combination of T sub(s) and HF measured at the sternum explained ~75 % or more of variance in observed T sub(c) in hot environments. The forehead was found unsuitable for exercise in heat due to sweating and evaporative heat loss. The derived algorithms are likely applicable only for the same ensemble or ensembles with similar thermal and vapor resistances. Conclusion: Algorithms for T sub(c) measurement are location-specific and their accuracy is dependent, to a large degree, on sensor placement.

The organophosphate diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) induces classical cholinergic toxicity following inhalation exposure and was utilized to validate the effectiveness of this newly designed inhalation exposure system. A saturator cell apparatus was used to generate DFP vapor at 9750, 10 950, 12 200, 14 625 and 19 500 mg x min/m super(3) which was carried by filtered nitrogen into a glass mixing tube, where it combined with ambient air before being introduced to the custom-made glass exposure chamber. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were restrained in individual head-out plethysmography chambers, which acquired respiratory parameters before, during and after agent exposure. All animals were acclimated to the exposure system prior to exposure to reduce novel environment-induced stress. The LCt sub(50), as determined by probit analysis, was 12 014 mg x min/m super(3). Weight loss in exposed animals was dose-dependent and ranged from 8 to 28% of their body weight 24 h after exposure. Increased salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation (SLUD) and mild muscular fasciculation were observed in all DFP-exposed animals during and immediately following exposure. In all exposed animals, DFP vapor produced significant inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in cardiac blood, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), whole brain and lung tissue as well as alterations in tidal volume and minute volume. These studies have provided valuable information leading to the initiation of studies evaluating inhalational toxicity and treatments following exposure to the more lethal and potent chemical warfare nerve agents.

AN - 1531923504; 2011-634026 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.

Except for the approximately 1.3 Ga Pilanesberg dikes, these rocks have not previously been studied paleomagnetically. Isotopic dates from igneous rocks in the province generally indicate emplacement between 1.4 and 1.35 Ga, which falls in a time frame where the apparent polar wander path (APWP) for the Kaapvaal craton is poorly known. In order to help address this problem, we report paleomagnetic data for syenitic rocks in the large Pilanesberg Complex near the western limit of the alkaline province, two separate syenitic intrusions in the Pienaars River Complexes near Pretoria, and the Spitskop ijolite-nepheline syenite-carbonatite complex near the eastern limit of the province. These intrusive units yield poles that allow a tentative extension of the Mesoproterozoic Kaapvaal APWP back to 1.4 Ga. The data suggest a pronounced bend or cusp in the APWP at 1.1 Ga, which may record a major change in plate motion occurring at the same time as emplacement of the Umkondo large igneous province in southern Africa.

If social capital declines precipitously, the strength of the Army Profession will face a similar drop. Challenges include limited training resources, making what once occurred naturally the development of social capital and its trustworthiness and pride hard to find, leaving soldiers to fight alone, instead of as a team. Beyond training, other chances to foster the Army's culture are diminishing. Adapted from the source document.

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 24h of the day, and meteorological data were gathered throughout each experiment. The peak levels (L sub(pk)), C-weighted sound exposure levels (CSEL), and spectral characteristics of the received sound pressure levels were analyzed. The results show high variability in L sub(pk) 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. 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 lona-distance blast sound Drooaaation.

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.

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.

We hypothesized that a metric called the compensatory reserve index (CRI), derived using computer modeling with continuous feature extraction from arterial waveforms, would provide an earlier indicator of cardiovascular instability than SI during progressive central hypovolemia. Methods: There were 1 5 subjects (men = 8; women = 7) who underwent progressive reduction in central blood volume induced by lower body negative pressure (LBNP) until SAP < 90 mmHg. CRI was normalized on a scale of 1 (normovolemia) to 0 (circulatory volume at which instability occurs) and displayed on a colored bar. The times at which the CRI equaled 0.6 (threshold of green to amber) or 0.3 (threshold of amber to red) were compared to a clinical threshold of SI (greater-than or equal to) 0.9. Results: A SI (greater-than or equal to) 0.9 required 22.4 (plus-or-minus sign) 6.2 min (95%CI = 19 to 25.8 min). CRI reached 0.6 (amber) at 12.5 (plus-or-minus sign) 4.9 min (95%CI = 9.8 to 15.3 min) when SI = 0.61 (plus-or-minus sign) 0.03, and became 0.3 (red) at 20.3 (plus-or-minus sign) 5.1 min (95%CI = 17.5 to 23.1 min) when SI = 0.81 (plus-or-minus sign) 1.4. Conclusions: CRI provided a significantly earlier indicator of impending hemodynamic decompensation than SI (greater-than or equal to) 0.9 during progressive LBNP. These results support the notion that the CRI represents an improved 'shock index' as an indicator of impending hemorrhagic shock compared to standard vital signs.

Female mosquitoes that had fed on adult hamsters inoculated with RVFV were incubated for 7-21 d at 26 degree C, then allowed to refeed on susceptible hamsters, and tested to determine infection, dissemination, and transmission rates. We also inoculated mosquitoes intrathoracically, held them for 7 d, and then allowed them to feed on a susceptible hamster to check for a salivary gland barrier. When exposed to hamsters with viremias greater than or equal to 107.6 plaque-forming units per milliliter of blood, at least some individuals in each of the species tested became infected; however, Cx. nigripalpus, An. crucians, and Ae. infirmatus were essentially incompetent vectors in the laboratory because of either a midgut escape or salivary gland barrier. Each of the other species should be considered as potential vectors and would need to be controlled if RVFV were introduced into an area where they were found. Additional studies need to be conducted with other geographic populations of these species and to determine how environmental factors affect transmission.

Here we demonstrate the potential utility of polyelectrolyte nanoparticle complexes of novel self-assembling anionic graft copolymers for protecting peptides from degradation in human plasma. The anionic graft copolymers are synthesized by covalently attaching pendent polyether-amine chains to poly(alkylacrylic acid) backbones by carbodii-mide coupling. The peptide:copolymer nanocomplexes' particle size, zeta-potential, peptide binding, and controlled release of the peptide are shown to be dependent upon the pendent chain graft density, polymer backbone alkyl groups (propyl vs. methyl), and the nanocomplexes' electrostatic charge ratio. The nanocomplexes can provide substantial protection to the bound peptides from degradation in human plasma for at least 24 h and, in standard microbiological assays are shown to retain some or all of the peptide's antimicrobial activity against a clinically relevant strain of Staphylococcus aureus.

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.

AN - 1415610195; 23686570 AB - As the production and applications of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) increase, it is essential to characterize fate and effects in environmental systems. Nanosilver materials may settle from suspension; therefore, the authors' objective was to utilize environmentally relevant bioassays and study the impact, bioaccumulation, tissue distribution, uptake, and depuration of AgNPs on a sediment-dwelling invertebrate, Lumbriculus variegatus. Hydrodynamic diameters of uncoated 30-nm, 80-nm, and 1500-nm AgNP powders and a polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) AgNP suspension were measured utilizing dynamic light scattering in freshwater media (0-280 µS/cm). Aggregation for 30 nm, 80 nm, and 1500 nm silver increased with conductivity but was minimal for PVP silver. Lumbriculus variegatus were exposed to AgNPs or silver nitrate (AgNO3 ) spiked into sediment (nominally 100 mg/kg) and water (PVP 30 nm and 70 nm Ag, nominally 5 mg/L). Uptake was assessed through inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) and hyperspectral imaging. Particle sizes were examined through field flow fractionation-ICP-MS (FFF-ICP-MS) and ICP-MS in single particle mode (SP-ICP-MS). Lumbriculus variegatus were also depurated for 6 h, 8 h, 24 h, and 48 h to determine gut clearance. Bioaccumulation factors of sediment-exposed L. variegatus were similar regardless of particle size or coatings. The FFF-ICP-MS and SP-ICP-MS detected AgNPs for up to 48 h post depuration. The present study provides information on bioaccumulation and interactions of AgNPs within biological systems. Copyright © 2013 SETAC.

AN - 1413166040; 23706374 AB - A storage-pond dike failure occurred on December 22, 2008 at the Tennessee Valley Authority Kingston Fossil Plant resulting in the release of over 4million cubic meters (5million cubic yards) of fly ash. Approximately half of the released ash was deposited in the main channel of the Emory River, Tennessee, USA. Remediation efforts of the Emory River focused on hydraulic dredging, as well as mechanical excavation in targeted areas. However, agitation of the submerged fly ash during hydraulic dredging introduces river water into the fly ash material, which could promote dissolution and desorption of metals from the solid fly ash material. Furthermore, aeration of the dredge slurry could alter the redox state of metals in the fly ash material and thereby change their sorption, mobility, and toxicity properties. The research presented here focuses on the concentrations and speciation of metals during the fly ash recovery from the Emory River. Our results indicate that arsenite [As(III)] released from the fly ash material during dredging was slowly oxidized to arsenate [As(V)] in the slurry recovery system with subsequent removal through precipitation or sorption reactions with suspended fly ash material. Concentrations of other dissolved metals, including iron and manganese, also generally decreased in the ash recovery system prior to water discharge back to the river. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AN - 1426751045; 23898970 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.

AN - 1420611026; 23938825 AB - Colloidal suspensions of multilayer nanoparticles composed of a silver core, a polyelectrolyte spacer layer (inner shell), and a J-aggregate cyanine dye outer shell have been prepared for the first time. Absorption properties of the colloid were measured in the visible region. This multilayer architecture served as a framework for examining the coupling of the localized surface plasmon resonance exhibited by the silver core with the molecular exciton exhibited by the J-aggregate outer shell. The polyelectrolyte spacer layer promotes the formation of an excitonic J-aggregate while serving as a means of controlling the plasmon-exciton (i.e. plexciton) coupling strength through changing the distance between the core and the shell. An analytical expression based on Mie Theory and the Transfer Matrix Method was obtained for describing the optical response of these multilayered nanostructures. Computational and experimental results indicate that the absorption wavelength of the J-aggregate form of the dye is dependent on both the distance of the dye layer from the silver core and the degree of dye aggregation.

Rapid assessment methodologies determining ecosystem condition and function continue expansion, especially within wetlands. Few studies determine the accuracy of rapid assessment approaches by applying quantitative parameters, especially with respect to biogeochemical functions. Functional measurements require extensive sampling and analytical expertise, beyond financial and time constraints of most restoration projects. Further, measuring biogeochemical ecosystem functions requires the coupling of abundance measures (e.g., soil nutrient concentrations) with processing or transport mechanisms (e.g., microbial activity, flood frequency). This work assessed nutrient cycling, organic C export, and water quality improvement functions applied to >300 km (super 2) of restored bottomland hardwood forests, Mississippi River Valley. Assessment parameters (e.g., sapling shrub density, organic soil horizon thickness) and biogeochemical measures (e.g., microbial biomass C, potentially mineralizable N) were determined at 45 reforested areas and 21 control locations representing an 80-yr restoration chronosequence. Significantly higher rapid assessment outcomes were associated with increased ecosystem functionality (P = 0.001-0.029). These findings suggest that rapid assessment tools serve as reliable proxies for measurements of nutrient and biogeochemical cycling; validating the procedure examined. Assessment scores were also associated with increased restoration stand age (ps < 0.001) supporting further development of similar rapid assessments using ecosystem classification, qualitative data collection, and scaling based on reference data. The wide variety of rapid assessments in use underscores the need for validation with biogeochemical and hydrological measurements.

Push-pull tests were conducted using a phased approach to measure in situ hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) degradation rates associated with various carbon substrates. Phase I included short-duration transport tests conducted in each well to determine dilution rates and retardation factors for RDX and TNT. Phase II included aquifer "feedings" conducted by injecting 150 gallons of treated site groundwater amended with ethanol, corn syrup, lactose or emulsified oil (concentrations 10, 25 and 27 mM, respectively; 12% by volume for emulsified oil). Wells received up to 6 substrate "feedings" over the course of 3 months followed by monitoring dissolved oxygen, nitrate, Fe(II), and sulfate to gauge in situ redox conditions as indicators of anaerobic microbial activity. Phase III included push-pull tests conducted by injecting 150 gallons of site groundwater amended with approximately 1000 mu g/L RDX, 350 mu g/L TNT, carbon substrate and a conservative tracer, followed by sampling over 8 d. Corn syrup resulted in the best RDX removal (82% on average) and the largest RDX degradation rate coefficient (1.4+ or -1.1 d (super -1) ). Emulsified oil resulted in the best TNT removal (99%) and largest TNT degradation rate coefficient (5.7X10 (super -2) d (super -1) ). These results will be used to simulate full-scale in situ bioremediation scenarios at Umatilla and will support a go/no-go decision to initiate full-scale bioremediation remedy optimization.

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. Adapted from the source document.

Large-scale, spatially explicit models that predict population density as a function of habitat and landscape variables can provide important insight for its management and recovery. We used distance sampling to model detection probability and to estimate the density and abundance of singing male Golden-cheeked Warblers on Fort Hood Military Reservation. We used an information-theoretic approach to evaluate hypotheses concerning the effects of proportion of forest type and forest cover, forest-edge density, and patch size on density. We fitted generalized linear models with detection probability as an offset term to predict density as a function of the habitat and landscape variables, calculate a model-based density and abundance estimate, and map density across the area sampled. The design-based estimates were 0.39 males ha-1 and 7557 singing males. The most supported model contained proportion of forest type and forest cover, both of which had a positive effect on density, as well as forest-edge density, which had a negative effect. The model-based estimates of 0.39 males ha-1 and 7571 singing males were greater than estimates extrapolated from intensive territory monitoring. Knowledge of factors affecting Golden-cheeked Warbler density can be used to inform recovery efforts, and our density model can be used to assess the effects of various activities proposed for military training and of environmental disturbance on warbler densities.

Previous reviews of telehealth economic analysis studies have concluded that there are significant methodological deficiencies and inconsistencies that limit the ability to make generalized conclusions about the costs and benefits of telehealth programs. Published economic evaluations specific to TMH are also limited. There are unique factors that influence costs in TMH that are necessary for those who are planning and evaluating economic analyses to consider. The purpose of this review is to summarize the main problems and limitations of published economic analyses, to discuss considerations specific to TMH, and to inform and encourage the economic evaluation of TMH in both the public and private sectors. The topics presented here include perspective of costs, direct and indirect costs, and technology, as well as research methodology considerations. The integration of economic analyses into effectiveness trials, the standardization of outcome measurement, and the development of TMH economic evaluation guidelines are recommended.

Antimicrobial nanoemulsions are emulsified mixtures of detergent, oil, and water (droplet size, 100 to 800 nm) which have broad antimicrobial activity against bacteria, enveloped viruses, and fungi. Here, we screened the antimicrobial activities of five nanoemulsion preparations against four Acinetobacter baumannii isolates to identify the most suitable preparation for further evaluation. Among them, N5, which contains 10% (vol/vol) Triton X-100, 25% (vol/vol) soybean oil, and 1% (wt/vol) cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), showed the best efficacy against A. baumannii in both its planktonic and biofilm forms and was selected for further study. Our data demonstrate that, while the killing of planktonic forms of A. baumannii was due to the 1% CPC component of our nanoemulsions, the breakdown of biofilms was achieved via the emulsified oil and detergent fractions. Furthermore, we documented the effect of ethanol and NaCl in combination with N5 on planktonic A. baumannii. In killing curves of N5 combined with other agents (ethanol or NaCl), a synergistic effect of a greater than or equal to 2-log decrease in CFU/ml was observed. The antibiofilm activity of N5 was confirmed via a cell proliferation test and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of exposure to severe environmental conditions, which simulates the field conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan, were evaluated, and this exposure did not affect the overall antimicrobial activity of N5. These studies lay a solid foundation for the utilization of nanoemulsions against the antibiotic-resistant forms of A. baumannii.

AN - 1398435399; 23767819 AB - The hydrolysis of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide has been examined in an effort to better understand its mechanism under more concentrated conditions. Two salts formed during hydrolysis were synthesized, and an emphasis was placed on determining their effect on the reaction as it proceeded. Unexpected changes in mechanism were seen when excess chloride was added to the reaction. By measuring rates and product distributions as the products were added back into the hydrolysis, a mechanism was developed. The formation of these sulfonium salts represents additional products in the disappearance of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide with k3 in particular causing a deviation away from expected first-order behavior. Sulfonium salts 3 and 4 do not appear to interconvert, and the system as a whole had fewer pathways available than previously proposed. Initial conditions for studying the hydrolysis were very important and could lead to different conclusions depending on the conditions used. This work will aid in better understanding the hydrolysis of the very toxic chemical warfare agent mustard (bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide) in the environment and during its decontamination.

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.

To accurately assess PM sub(2.5) mass emission factors and concentrations, real-time particle monitors must be calibrated for individual sources. Sixty-six experiments were conducted with a common, real-time laser photometer (TSI SidePak(TM) Model AM510 Personal Aerosol Monitor) and a filter-based PM sub(2.5) gravimetric sampler to quantify the monitor calibration factors (CFs), and to estimate emission factors for common indoor sources including cigarettes, incense, cooking, candles, and fireplaces. Calibration factors for these indoor sources were all significantly less than the factory-set CF of 1.0, ranging from 0.32 (cigarette smoke) to 0.70 (hamburger). Stick incense had a CF of 0.35, while fireplace emissions ranged from 0.44-0.47. Cooking source CFs ranged from 0.41 (fried bacon) to 0.65-0.70 (fried pork chops, salmon, and hamburger). The CFs of combined sources (e.g., cooking and cigarette emissions mixed) were linear combinations of the CFs of the component sources. The highest PM sub(2.5) emission factors per time period were from burned foods and fireplaces (15-16 mg min super(-1)), and the lowest from cooking foods such as pizza and ground beef (0.1-0.2 mg min super(-1)).

While there are several factors that may affect the MFC variability across studies (populations studied, environmental conditions, etc.), one aspect of the discrepancies in the literature may be the result of different placements of shoe markers and/or MFC calculation methods. A marker on the toe is often used, but may only quantify one aspect of how the foot actually clears the trip hazard. The purpose of this study was to determine the location on the shoe where MFC occurs during locomotor tasks with the highest risk of tripping. Ten young adults performed three trials of locomotor tasks which included overground walking, obstacle crossing, level change and stair negotiation. Clearance was calculated for 72 points on each shoe, including those most commonly used in past research. The location of the overall MFC on the shoe sole differed both between limbs and across locomotor tasks. Additionally, the region of the obstacle, step or stair over which the MFC occurred varied both within and across task. Use of this 3D MFC methodology provided further insight into which portions of the shoe may come closest to the tripping hazard. Future research should examine whether the location and value of the MFC changes between different populations, or with environmental modifications.

Zanzibar, critical geopolitics and language AN - 1435358714; 4484463 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.

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). Adapted from the source document.

It is estimated that about 70,000 U.S. Department of Defense-affiliated individuals (about 53,000 were at shore-based locations and about 17,000 individuals were afloat, participated in air crew operations, or visited J-Village) were potentially exposed to small amounts of the released radioactive material. The U.S. Pacific Command Surgeon's Office implemented an internal monitoring program using a combination of full body commercial scanners and portable scintillation detectors resulting in the monitoring of 8,380 individuals during the period from 16 March thru 31 August 2011. About 11% percent were monitored in the U.S. using existing equipment at naval shipyards, about 87% percent were monitored in and around Japan using a combination of portable instruments and fixed whole-body monitoring systems, and about 2% percent were monitored as part of a voluntary self-referral period. About 3% percent of those monitored had a measured activity greater than the minimum detectable activity, with a maximum committed effective dose of 0.4 mSv and a maximum thyroid committed equivalent dose of 6.5 mSv. Important technical details unique to the emergent use of portable instruments for internal monitoring are discussed and include: calibration transfer techniques using individuals with detectable activity on both fixed and portable systems, the use of surrogate non-contaminated humans as phantoms for measuring background radiation, determination of multiplication factors for scaling doses that were measured from a single radioisotope to include doses from other radioisotopes present but undetectable, and quantifying the relationship between the internal dose associated with the minimum detectable activity level as a function of time between intake and in vivo measurement.

Arsenic, released by pyrite oxidation during the recharge phase, sometimes results in groundwater concentrations that exceed the 10 mu g/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 mu g/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.

Seepage is a primary driver of levee and dam failure, and understanding its potential is of paramount concern to engineers and resource managers. This paper reports the results of a computational modeling study that simulated alluvial floodplain construction using a suite of simple geomorphic process-imitating rules. A model aggrades a floodplain cross section within an alluvial basin, creating floodplain architecture by differentiating between sediment deposited by channel processes (sand) and sediment deposited by overbank flood processes (clay). The evolution of two floodplain cross sections of the Trinity River, near Dallas, Texas is simulated using five different experimental scenarios. The study area is the site of large levee rehabilitation projects in which accurate characterization of the geologic environment has significant engineering importance. Study results predict that scenario components including the alluvial basin width, the initial topography of the floodplain base level, and the channel aggradation rate significantly affect the fraction of the floodplain width that contains channel deposits by influencing the avulsion frequency of the river during floodplain construction. Increased avulsion frequency equated to more numerous, yet smaller channel deposits. The dimensions of the channel deposits predicted by this study are similar to those typically observed in large, fully meandering river systems. The model devised for this study is relatively simple and can be run in multiple iterations to produce probabilistic outputs, such as the likely range of channel deposit widths within a floodplain cross section. This type of information is useful to engineers for a host of applications including predicting the data collection density necessary to characterize the geotechnical properties of a project site.

These must also be environmentally sustainable and convenient to implement. Glucose has been proposed as a renewable energy source for several reasons including its energy density, safety, sustainability, and the ability to be scavenged from native ecosystems or from waste streams. Here we describe the use of a bio-hybrid fuel cell to oxidize the glucose to ethanol and limit parasitic power losses by using the fermented alcohol with minimal preparation in a direct alcohol fuel cell. Moving from using dilute alcohol in deionized water to the complex matrices of fermented media raises many questions about the performance and lifetime of the fuel cell and its components. These questions include but are not limited to the effects of starting materials and byproducts of the fermentations and the performance of the catalytic oxidation of ethanol at metal catalysts in batch mode. This study examines the effects of multiple components such as ionic strength, cation size, buffering strength, alcohol concentration, fermentation/fuel cell byproducts, and interfering organics on fuel cell operation.

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.

AN - 1356391401; 23603142 AB - Stroke patients are at a high risk of developing post-ischemic seizures and cognitive impairment. Nefiracetam (NEF), a pyrrolidone derivative, has been shown to possess both anti-epileptic and cognitive-enhancing properties. In this study the anti-seizure effects of NEF were evaluated in a rat model of post-ischemic nonconvulsive seizures (NCSs). Its potential mechanisms were investigated in neuronal cell culture assays of neurotoxicity associated with ischemic brain injury and epileptogenesis. In the in vivo study, rats received 24h permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion. NEF was administered intravenously either at 15 min post-injury but prior to the first NCS event (30 mg/kg, pre-NCS treatment) or immediately after the first NCS occurred (30 or 60 mg/kg, post-NCS treatment). In the in vitro study, neuronal cell cultures were exposed to veratridine or glutamate and treated with NEF (1-500 nM). The NEF pre-NCS treatment significantly reduced the NCS frequency and duration, whereas the higher NEF dose (60 mg/kg) was required to achieve similar effects when given after NCS occurred. The NEF treatment also dose-dependently (5-500 nM) protected against neuronal cell death induced by veratridine as measured by MTT cell viability assay, but higher doses (250-500 nM) were required against glutamate toxicity. The anti-seizure property of NEF was demonstrated in a clinically relevant rat model of post-ischemic NCS. The preferential effects of NEF against in vitro veratridine toxicity suggest the involvement of its modulation of sodium channel malfunction.

To effectively model saltwater intrusion, the impacts of increased salt content on fluid density must be accounted for to properly model saltwater/freshwater transition zones and sharp interfaces. We present a model for variable density fluid flow and solute transport where a conforming finite element method discretization with a locally conservative velocity post-processing method is used for the flow model and the transport equation is discretized using a variational multiscale stabilized conforming finite element method. This formulation provides a consistent velocity and performs well even in advection-dominated problems that can occur in saltwater intrusion modeling. The physical model is presented as well as the formulation of the numerical model and solution methods. The model is tested against several 2-D and 3-D numerical and experimental benchmark problems, and the results are presented to verify the code.

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.

Rates of suicide based on military occupational categories were computed for the Department of Defense (DoD) active component population between 2001 and 2010. The combined infantry, gun crews, and seamanship specialist group was at increased risk of suicide compared to the overall military population even when adjusted for gender, age, and deployment history. The results provide useful information that can help inform the DoD's suicide prevention mission. Data limitations and recommended areas for future research are discussed.

In this way, the outer hardening of a structure or vehicle would not limit the ability of occupants to arrive at an actionable picture of the outer environment. To this end, various sensor modalities employed by insects are compared and contrasted with their current human-engineered equivalents. In several sensing modalities, biosensors perform better, are smaller, and more energy efficient than human-engineered equivalents. They note that biological designs tend to employ non-linear response to signal amplitude and respond with heightened sensitivity over a greater dynamic range of signals than human-engineered sensors. The insect biological sensors have structural and mechanical innovations that preserve the protective capacity of the exoskeleton. Adapted from the source document.

There is an urgent need for models that can rapidly down-select novel CSP-based vaccine candidates. In the present study, the mouse-mosquito transmission cycle of a transgenic Plasmodium berghei malaria parasite stably expressing a functional full-length P. falciparum CSP was optimized to consistently produce infective sporozoites for protection studies. A minimal sporozoite challenge dose was established, and protection was defined as the absence of blood-stage parasites 14 days after intravenous challenge. The specificity of protection was confirmed by vaccinating mice with multiple CSP constructs of differing lengths and compositions. Constructs that induced high NANP repeat-specific antibody titers in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were protective, and the degree of protection was dependent on the antigen dose. There was a positive correlation between antibody avidity and protection. The antibodies in the protected mice recognized the native CSP on the parasites and showed sporozoite invasion inhibitory activity. Passive transfer of anti-CSP antibodies into naive mice also induced protection. Thus, we have demonstrated the utility of a mouse efficacy model to down-select human CSP-based vaccine formulations.

The Bruun Rule assumes that all sand removed from the upper profile is deposited offshore as sea level rises, although overwash during storms and landward Aeolian transport clearly indicate otherwise. Herein, we examine processes associated with sandy beach evolution in response to relative sea level rise and propose a modified form of the Bruun Rule that considers the full range of parsing cross-shore transport, from completely seaward to completely landward depending on the prevailing storm and surge conditions and whether there is a surplus or deficit of sand in the profile with respect to the equilibrium beach profile. A methodology is proposed that more appropriately represents the long-term processes and beach response. However, an improved quantitative understanding of landward transport is required for optimal application of the proposed method. Abstract Copyright (2013) Elsevier, B.V.

This strategy involves (1) early detection of hydrilla, (2) use of registered herbicides for plant suppression along with stocking 20 triploid Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella per surface acre of infestation, and (3) maintenance stocking of triploid Grass Carp to prevent hydrilla regrowth from tubers. Following this strategy, hydrilla in the water column was eliminated within one calendar year after Grass Carp introduction in four out of five reservoirs. This suggests that integrating herbicide applications with stocking Grass Carp largely eliminates the multiyear lag effect normally associated with using Grass Carp alone. A maintenance density of at least one triploid Grass Carp per eight surface acres of the reservoir prevented hydrilla regrowth except for a brief and minor reinfestation in one of five study reservoirs. This management approach proved successful when hydrilla coverage was as little as 1-3% of the reservoir's surface area. Detecting and controlling hydrilla early during the infestation should reduce the cost of management and perhaps minimize some adverse effects associated with the introduction and use of triploid Grass Carp.

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.

Like many here, I think that IWRM may be the most used water resources term worldwide; so frequently used that many liken it to a Mantra more than professional tool. IWRM is the Emperor of today's water resources jargon. But is it and can it be more? So, this morning I would ask: Does the IWRM Emperor have clothes? I think YES; however, we are only beginning the process of refitting the Emperor's clothes for a new generation of water resources professional; a generation that works with marvelous new hard and soft technologies; technologies and processes which promise to help manage the gray area between the political and technical that is the water resources professional's life and which holds the key to achieving IWRM -- we broadly call such processes collaborative modeling; they are a major part of the Emperor's new clothing.

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. JF - Journal of Vector Ecology AU - Phasomkusolsil, Siriporn AU - Tawong, Jaruwan AU - Monkanna, Nantaporn AU - Pantuwatana, Kanchana AU - Damdangdee, Nuttapon AU - Khongtak, Weeraphan AU - Kertmanee, Yossasin AU - Evans, Brian P AU - Schuster, Anthony L AD - Department of Entomology, U.S. Army Medical Component, Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangkok 10400, Thailand, siripornp@afrims.org Y1 - 2013/06// PY - 2013 DA - June 2013 SP - 38 EP - 45 PB - Society for Vector Ecology VL - 38 IS - 1 SN - 1081-1710, 1081-1710 KW - Entomology Abstracts; ASFA 3: Aquatic Pollution & Environmental Quality; ASFA 1: Biological Sciences & Living Resources; Ecology Abstracts KW - Blood source KW - feeding KW - fecundity KW - Anopheles KW - Aedes KW - Feeding KW - Vectors KW - Survival KW - Malaria KW - Hosts KW - Pathogens KW - Arbovirus KW - Eggs KW - Public health KW - Disease transmission KW - Rearing KW - Blood KW - Fecundity KW - Feeding behaviour KW - Anopheles dirus KW - Hatching KW - Aquatic insects KW - D 04040:Ecosystem and Ecology Studies KW - Q1 08484:Species interactions: parasites and diseases KW - Z 05350:Medical, Veterinary, and Agricultural Entomology KW - Q5 08524:Public health, medicines, dangerous organisms UR - http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/1372059820?accountid=14244 L2 - http://vb3lk7eb4t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQ%3Aasfaaquaticpollution&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Journal+of+Vector+Ecology&rft.atitle=Maintenance+of+Mosquito+Vectors%3A+Effects+of+Blood+Source+on+Feeding%2C+Survival%2C+Fecundity%2C+and+Egg+Hatching+Rates&rft.au=Phasomkusolsil%2C+Siriporn%3BTawong%2C+Jaruwan%3BMonkanna%2C+Nantaporn%3BPantuwatana%2C+Kanchana%3BDamdangdee%2C+Nuttapon%3BKhongtak%2C+Weeraphan%3BKertmanee%2C+Yossasin%3BEvans%2C+Brian+P%3BSchuster%2C+Anthony+L&rft.aulast=Phasomkusolsil&rft.aufirst=Siriporn&rft.date=2013-06-01&rft.volume=38&rft.issue=1&rft.spage=38&rft.isbn=&rft.btitle=&rft.title=Journal+of+Vector+Ecology&rft.issn=10811710&rft_id=info:doi/10.3376%2F038.038.0120 LA - English DB - ProQuest Environmental Science Collection N1 - Date revised - 2013-06-01 N1 - Number of references - 19 N1 - Last updated - 2016-10-12 N1 - SubjectsTermNotLitGenreText - Blood; Fecundity; Feeding behaviour; Survival; Pathogens; Hosts; Aquatic insects; Disease transmission; Public health; Rearing; Feeding; Vectors; Malaria; Hatching; Eggs; Anopheles dirus; Arbovirus DO - http://dx.doi.org/10.3376/038.038.0120 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - FEATURED COLLECTION INTRODUCTION: COLLABORATIVE MODELING FOR DECISION SUPPORT AS A TOOL TO IMPLEMENT IWRM AN - 1372059674; 18197393 AB - Distilled to its essence, collaborative modeling is building models with rather than for participants (van den Belt et al., 2013a; van den Belt et al., 2013b). As part of a collaborative approach, a model structures the dialogue by encouraging a holistic view, and it focuses attention on problem causes that come from the system (rather than on the personalities in the room) before discussing alternatives. With all interests represented and actively engaged in the process, the model better reflects what is important to participants related to the decision at hand. Participants can learn together about interdependencies among each of their interests, their differing values, and the implications of making various tradeoffs. Exchange between technical and political participants is encouraged to explore differences in information and values, helping to move from an understanding of "what is" to an aligned group consideration of "what should be and how to get there." The immediate output often includes: (1) a model that is more transparent and accepted, (2) increased understanding of what structurally matters (and what details may not be relevant), and (3) improved relationships among participants. Resulting decisions can therefore be both better informed and better able to be implemented, with improved relationships forming a framework for continued collaboration and the jointly developed model providing a ready means for considering future issues. In the complex, often conflict-laden realm of water resources management, this is no small matter; every step in the direction of a shared vision is important progress toward making more resilient communities (of stakeholders and the wider public, at local and watershed scales) who can manage their resources more equitably with less conflict.

AN - 1365986139; 23530079 AB - Anti-malarial 8-aminoquinolines drugs cause acute hemolytic anemia in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDD). Efforts to develop non-hemolytic 8-aminoquinolines have been severely limited caused by the lack of a predictive in vivo animal model of hemolytic potential that would allow screening of candidate compounds. This report describes a G6PDD mouse model with a phenotype closely resembling the G6PDD phenotype found in the African A-type G6PDD human. These G6PDD mice, given different doses of primaquine, which used as a reference hemolytic drug, display a full array of hemolytic anemia parameters, consistently and reproducibly. The hemolytic and therapeutic indexes were generated for evaluation of hemotoxicity of drugs. This model demonstrated a complete hemolytic toxicity response to another known hemolytic antimalarial drug, pamaquine, but no response to non-hemolytic drugs, chloroquine and mefloquine. These results suggest that this model is suitable for evaluation of selected 8-AQ type candidate antimalarial drugs for their hemolytic potential.

Stroboscopic illumination may prevent retinal slip by providing snapshots of the visual environment that are brief enough so each image is stationary on the retina. Methods: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an 8-Hz stroboscopic environment as a motion sickness countermeasure for passengers during a nauseogenic flight in a helicopter. The study population was comprised of 18 motion sickness susceptible subjects. Subjects completed a motion sickness symptom questionnaire, a psychomotor vigilance test, weapons utilization tasks, a time estimation task, and a sustained attention task after nauseogenic flights with and without 8-Hz stroboscopic illumination in the cabin. Results: Baseline-corrected scores of self-reported nausea were significantly lower after the stroboscopic condition (M = 36.57 plus or minus 6.95) than the nonstroboscopic condition (M = 50.88 plus or minus 7.36). Furthermore, the stroboscopic condition resulted in significantly better performance on the vigilance task than the nonstroboscopic condition. However, baseline-corrected scores of oculomotor symptoms were greater after the stroboscopic condition (M = 33.27 plus or minus 5.52) than the nonstroboscopic condition (M = 24.85 plus or minus 4.10). Discussion: These results support the use of stroboscopic illumination as a nonpharmacologic countermeasure for motion sickness related to retinal slip. However, due to the uncontrolled nature of the flights, the possibility that these results could have been influenced by differences in motion between flights cannot be excluded. This technology should be investigated in other forms of transportation (i.e., ground vehicles).

AN - 1171887105; 23106216 AB - Sulfur mustard (SM) is a highly reactive vesicating agent that can induce severe ocular injury. The clinical features of this injury have been well documented, but the molecular basis for this pathology is not well understood. Identification and validation of specific targets is necessary in the effort to develop effective therapeutics for this injury. Currently used rabbit models are not well suited for many molecular studies because the necessary reagents are not widely available. However, these reagents are widely available for the mouse model. Our objective is to develop a mouse model of SM-induced ocular injury suitable for the study of the molecular mechanisms of injury and the evaluation of therapeutics. Ocular exposure to sulfur mustard vapor was accomplished by using a vapor cup method. Dose response studies were conducted in female BALB/c mice. An exposure dose which produced moderate injury was selected for further study as moderate injury was determined to be amenable to studying the beneficial effects of potential therapeutics. Histopathology and inflammatory markers were evaluated for up to 28 days after exposure, while clinical injury progression was evaluated for 1 year post-exposure. A biphasic ocular injury was observed in mice exposed to SM. Acute phase SM ocular injury in mice was characterized by significant corneal epithelium loss, corneal edema, limbal engorgement, and ocular inflammation. This was followed by a brief recovery phase. A delayed injury phase then ensued in the following weeks to months and was characterized by keratitis, stromal edema, infiltrates, neovascularization, and eventual corneal scarring. SM-induced ocular injury in mice is consistent with observations of SM-induced ocular injury in humans and rabbit models. However, in the mouse model, the SM ocular injury, a more rapid onset of the delayed injury phase was observed. We have developed an animal model of SM injury that is suitable for studies to elucidate molecular mechanisms of injury and identify potential therapeutic targets.

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.

The first human brucellosis case reported in 1922 was in Pardabil village of a region currently named Shabran. Household members of brucellosis index cases are a population at risk for brucellosis infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of seropositivity of brucellosis among household and neighboring community members of brucellosis index cases in Azerbaijan. Twenty-one household members of 8 index brucellosis cases and 27 community neighbors were serologically tested for evidence of exposure by the serum agglutination test. Of these, the brucellosis seropositivity rate was 9.5% and 7.4%, respectively. Screening of household members of index cases and individuals who live in proximity to infected household members is a practical approach to increase the detection of brucellosis exposure.

Overnight, the security forces advisory team (SFAT), rather than the brigade combat team (BCT), became the focal point of the war effort. Senior level military planners had the unenviable task of converting the theoretical into reality. When the first wave of these advisory teams were set to deploy in spring of 2012, the entire leadership of several BCTs received orders to start planning for a short-notice deployment as combat advisors. Such a dramatic strategy shift from the BCT to the 12-man SFAT in Afghanistan was a necessary change in methodology, but brought with it the natural friction and challenges inherent to any rapid change of mission.

It is imperative when evaluating an injury to the ankle or foot to have a high clinical index of suspicion for Lisfranc injury, as physical examination findings are often subtle.Case Description:An 18-year-old military cadet reported to a direct-access sports physical therapy clinic with foot pain. Despite negative radiographic findings, there was a high suspicion for Lisfranc injury based on the injury mechanism and physical examination. A computed tomography scan demonstrated an oblique fracture through the base of the third metatarsal, a small marginal fracture at the plantar base of the second metatarsal, and a subtle diastasis. Two days following his injury, he underwent an open reduction and internal fixation, completed subsequent rehabilitation, and returned to full activity approximately 1 year following injury.Conclusion:Early diagnosis of Lisfranc injuries is imperative for proper management and prevention of a poor functional outcome. If a strong clinical suspicion exists, negative radiographic findings are insufficient to rule out a Lisfranc injury, and therefore, advanced imaging is required.

Despite the high prevalence, this condition is not clearly understood, as evidenced by the numerous proposed causes and recommended treatments. Notwithstanding, recent evidence suggests that treatments directed at the hip or spine may lead to beneficial results.Methods:A convenience sample of 18 participants (12 men and 6 women, 19.5 plus or minus 1.15 years old) with unilateral PFPS was recruited. Participants were randomized by sex to 1 of 3 groups: Kinesio taping, manipulation, and control taping. The main outcome measures included the Y-balance test, squatting range of motion (ROM), and the Lower Extremity Functional Scale.Results:Compared with the lumbopelvic manipulation and control groups, those in the Kinesio taping group performed significantly better on the Y-balance test (F = 5.59, P = 0.02) and with squatting ROM (F = 3.93, P = 0.04). The Kinesio taping and lumbopelvic groups were also significantly better than the control (sham) group with double-leg squatting ROM performance 3 days later.Conclusion:Kinesio taping may facilitate gluteus medius activation and improve postural stability and a double-leg squat.Clinical Relevance:The improvement in affected limb reach and double-leg squatting ROM highlights the potential for Kinesio taping to improve gluteus medius activation. Lumbopelvic manipulation may also immediately improve rehabilitation programs for PFPS.

AN - 1448222517; 18678517 AB - Botulism is a severe neuroparalytic disease caused by the toxins produced from several Clostridium species. Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) cause flaccid paralysis by inducing a blockade at voluntary motor and autonomic cholinergic junctions that, if not treated, can be fatal. Vaccination to elicit protective circulating antibodies that bind, neutralize and clear toxins before they can be internalized and affect cholinergic neurons remains the most effective form of protection against BoNT. A pentavalent BoNT toxoid vaccine administered in the USA under an Investigational New Drug protocol to at-risk workers was discontinued by the CDC in 2011 due to diminished potency and reactogenic effects. Subsequent research efforts have primarily focused on recombinant protein antigens. This review focuses on the development of a recombinant bivalent vaccine (rBV A/B) composed of purified recombinant BoNT/A and BoNT/B receptor-binding domain proteins, as well as presenting a summary of progress and issues associated with alternative vaccines currently being developed against botulism.

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.

Research shows that African Americans have the lowest percentage of advance directives completed among the major racial groups in the United States despite the PSDA's purpose. African American elderly rely on community supports such as social workers and the church to meet physical and spiritual needs. However, these two entities have yet to collaborate to eradicate the dismal percentages of completed advance directives among African American elderly. This article explores how the religious community and social workers can work toward educating this population on the importance of advance directives and empowering them to take the necessary steps at completion if they choose to do so.

AN - 1372056081; 18122598 AB - Introduction: Several medical journals published viewpoints and counter-viewpoints supporting or opposing a wider utilization of statins for primary prevention. The objective of this article is not to weigh in the benefits versus risks of statin use, but to discuss various aspects of this controversy. Areas covered: This review discusses the challenges in examining the pleotropic effects/adverse events of statins. It also discusses the pitfalls in assessment of adverse events in randomized controlled trials and observational studies. Expert opinion: The challenges in solving this controversy include that the pleotropic effect of statins results in an extremely wide spectrum of reported benefits or adverse events, the reported harms/benefits are contradictory, there is basic research ground supporting both sides of the controversy, it is difficult to separate if adverse events are due to statins or due to lower cholesterol, and that there is a lack of standardized definition of statin-associated adverse events and their methods of ascertainment. Both randomized controlled trials and observational studies have pitfalls and caveats in assessment of adverse events. Understanding the points of debate is of paramount significance to enable clinicians to individualize patient care.

Throughout both courses, I examined how diversity in decision-making bodies leads to better decisions, and how the organizations with the highest percentage of women on their executive boards consistently perform better than organizations with the fewest women. One of the course readings was the White House Projects report on benchmarking women's leadership. The report examined various professions within the United States and evaluated each profession on its incorporation of women's leadership. None of the sectors studied did particularly well, but I was dismayed (though not surprised) to find that the military fared the worst out of all professions examined in the study. This raised a critical question if diverse leadership is so good for organizations, how can a profession as important as the military afford to be at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to any kind of leadership benchmark?

Organized into units called "armored brigade combat teams," which consist of about 4,500 soldiers outfitted with Abrams tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles, the US Army's armored forces are among the most expensive ground formations to train and equip. At a time when budget constraints are forcing the Pentagon to make tough choices, the army's armored forces may seem like an extravagance. And at a time when precision-guided missiles can destroy faraway targets in seconds, tanks and armored vehicles might appear obsolete. Decisions about the US Army's force structure and capabilities are complicated and rarely discussed outside the Pentagon. But they matter greatly: once taken, they will shape the military options available to the US president and affect the Pentagon's ability to execute defense strategy for years to come.

AN - 1349399622; 22985105 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. © 2012 Society for Risk Analysis.

In a unique longitudinal study of teen driving, risky driving behaviour and the occurrence of crashes or near crashes are measured prospectively over the first 18 months of licensure. Of scientific interest is relating the two processes and developing a predictor of crashes from previous risky driving behaviour. In this work, we propose two latent class models for relating risky driving behaviour to the occurrence of a crash or near-crash event. The first approach models the binary longitudinal crash or near-crash outcome by using a binary latent variable which depends on risky driving covariates and previous outcomes. A random-effects model introduces heterogeneity among subjects in modelling the mean value of the latent state. The second approach extends the first model to the ordinal case where the latent state is composed of K ordinal classes. Additionally, we discuss an alternative hidden Markov model formulation. Estimation is performed by using the expectation-maximization algorithm and Monte Carlo expectation-maximization. We illustrate the importance of using these latent class modelling approaches through the analysis of the teen driving behaviour.

OP compounds are considered acting primarily via cholinergic pathways by binding irreversibly to acetylcholinesterase, an important regulator of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Many studies over the past years have suggested that other mechanisms of OP toxicity exist, which need to be unraveled by a comprehensive and systematic approach such as genome-wide gene expression analysis. Here we performed a microarray study in which cultured human neural cells were exposed to 0.1 or 10 mu M of VX for 1 h. Global gene expression changes were analyzed 6, 24, and 72 h post exposure. Functional annotation and pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes has revealed many genes, networks and canonical pathways that are related to nervous system development and function, or to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease. In particular, the neuregulin pathway impacted by VX exposure has important implications in many nervous system diseases including schizophrenia. These results provide useful information valuable in developing suitable antidotes for more effective prevention and treatment of, as well as in developing biomarkers for, VX-induced chronic neurotoxicity.

This study examines how rainfall alters the measured directional-hemispherical thermal infrared (8-14 mu m ) spectral reflectance of a disturbed soil with a specified sand/silt ratio using a calibrated rainfall simulator. For an accumulated rainfall of 8.0 cm, the mean disturbed soil thermal infrared spectral reflectance within 8.1-9.2- mu m waveband increases from an initial reflectance of 13 syntax error at token to a maximum reflectance of 31 syntax error at token. Sixty percent of this reflectance change occurred with only 1.0-cm accumulated rainfall. This study shows that, for this described disturbed sand/silt soil mixture, small accumulated rainfall amounts significantly alter the directional-hemispherical thermal infrared spectral reflectance.

The goal is to provide mission planning tools that realistically capture complex environmental factors impacting sensor performance, yet are simple enough for users with little specialized training. This paper describes incorporation of infrared (IR) modeling into EASEE, and the subsequent challenges of supporting imaging sensors within a framework that had previously evolved primarily for non-imaging sensors, such as acoustic and seismic. The design requires independently interchangeable modules for signature generation, propagation, and signal processing. Sensor performance metrics, such as probability of detection, are characterized statistically rather than through simulation of actual images. Some key enhancements needed to support imaging sensors were: (1) geometric models for targets, (2) packaging of multiple attributes representing target image properties (radiance, projected area, and spatial spectrum), (3) explicitly distinguishing between signals for the background, target of interest, and nuisance targets, and (4) calculation of apparent temperature differences (as opposed to incoherent energy summation). Target signatures are generated using MuSES (Multi-Service Electro-optic Signature), whereas the IR background properties are generated using FASST (Fast All-Season Soil STrength) and numerical weather prediction models. Propagation is handled primarily with MODTRAN (MODerate resolution atmospheric TRANsmission), although simpler models such as a line-of-sight calculation can also be employed. The Johnson criteria were added to the available library of detection algorithms.

This metaproteomic approach will evaluate the secreted proteins associated with pathogenicity and utilize their signatures as differentiation biomarkers between EHEC and EPEC strains. Experimental peptides identified lies in the region of the HlyD haemolysin secretion protein-D that is responsible for transporting the haemolysin A toxin. The results of FY-2012 are promising to pursue further experimentation to statistically validate the results and to further explore the impact of environmental conditions on the nature of the secreted biomarkers in various E. coli strains that are of public health concerns in various sectors.

Someone in a neutral or negative affective state might draw the association between cold and hot, whereas someone in a positive affective state might spontaneously form the more distant association between cold and sneeze. Could the reverse be true, that generating increasingly broad or narrow associations will put someone in a more or less positive affective state? We test this possibility by using verbal free association tasks, and asking whether the breadth of semantic associativity between cue words and generated responses might predict resulting affective states. Two experiments show that generating broader associations, regardless of their valence, changes affect; specifically, broader associations lowered negative affect and marginally increased positive affect over time. These findings carry implications for theories positing interactions between brain areas mediating associative processing and affect, and may hold promise for enhancing affect in clinical contexts.

The recent mapping synthesizes the results of field mapping and sampling as well as petrographic and pedogenic evaluations with existing and recently collected surface and subsurface data to investigate the origin, continuity, and extent of subsurface deposits constituting levee foundations. Collection of outcrop data and development of 3-D surface contour maps, geologic cross sections, and longitudinal correlations has helped resolve questions regarding the thickness, lateral and longitudinal extents, and contact relationships of key units. The results provide evidence that the Plio-Pleistocene-aged Fair Oaks formation, not the previously interpreted Riverbank- or Modesto-age formations, underlies much of the LAR channel bed. The formation is relatively fine-grained and hard, and appears to be laterally extensive and continuous beneath the levees, which may have implications for channel incision and lateral erosion. A variable thickness of unconsolidated modern and/or upper Modesto Formation-age gravels and cobbles unconformably overlies the Fair Oaks formation. The formation's top surface lies mostly at elevations too low to be exposed in the modern channel bed downstream of Watt Avenue. Synthesis of subsurface data suggests considerable relief of the eroded top of the formation, which may locally correspond with paleochannels identified via historical maps, as well as geophysical and LiDAR data.

Few studies have examined whether the training achieves its intended effects. To fill this gap, resilience-trained Army National Guard soldiers and civilians (N=611) completed online questionnaires about their resilience training experience (72% completion rate, N=441). Respondents (92% or more) indicated the training was helpful and improved resilience competencies that enhanced coping with stressful circumstances. Respondents (97% or more) indicated that these competencies were subsequently used in their military and civilian jobs. A measure of resilience competencies was developed and showed self-reported changes largely pertained to increased self-awareness and strength of character, including improved optimism, mental agility, and connection with others. Self-reported change in resilience competencies was associated with fewer behavioral health symptoms, especially, for those reporting more current stressful events (known as the buffering effect). Findings are discussed in terms of resilience's potency of training, content of the training, and the need to elaborate on resilience's relationship to specific stressors.

These lands are used for various military training programs. Training activities inevitably degrade the land condition, and the degraded land condition, in turn, limits the land's military training carrying capacity. To sustain the military training land carrying capacity and the environment, land managers must monitor and predict changes to the land condition under various military training schemes. The objective of this study is to develop prediction models for land condition based on military training intensity and on independent variables that play a significant role in driving land condition changes at Fort Riley, Kansas. It is assumed that land condition can be quantified using soil erosion as a surrogate measure, which is mainly determined by a ground and vegetation cover factor, in which the larger the factor, the poorer the land condition. In addition to military training intensity, the independent variables used in these prediction models of land condition included distance from the location to roads, terrain slope (which affects military training access), ground cover, landscape fragmentation (an indirect measure of military training induced disturbance), and spatial variability of canopy cover and military training induced disturbance (as reflected in Landsat Thematic Mapper [TM] images). Various regression models were developed, and predictions made by linear and nonlinear models were compared with and without TM images, with and without stepwise regression procedures, and with and without historical land condition variables. Results showed that the absolute Pearson product moment correlation coefficients of ground cover with the cover factor were larger than 0.63; the correlation was greatest and significant at a risk level of 5%. Ground cover was thus involved in all the stepwise regression and nonlinear models. Although military training intensity was significantly correlated with the cover factor, training intensity was excluded from the best models mainly because both ground cover and landscape fragmentation that existed in the models also reflected the military training induced disturbance. Compared to models in which all the variables were involved, the stepwise regression models reduced the number of the independent variables from 11 or 15 to 3 or 6 (depending on analysis year) with no significant loss of accuracy. In most cases, adding the near and middle infrared TM images, which revealed the spatial variability of military training induced disturbance, improved the prediction of land condition. Based on the correlation coefficient and root mean square error (RMSE) between the predicted and observed values of the cover factor, the nonlinear models that used significant independent variables led to more accurate predictions than the linear regression models. This suggests that the combination of stepwise regression and nonlinear models could increase the accuracy of prediction. Moreover, adding the historical land condition variables, such as historical cover factor and ground cover, into the models could greatly decrease prediction errors.

In just under 12 months, dictators fell in three countries: Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. In Bahrain, Yemen, and Syria, protests and violence continued throughout 2012 to shake what were once assumed to be the solid foundations of long-standing autocratic regimes. Although it is too soon to assess the outcome of these events, one immediate consequence is clear: the empowerment of public opinion in Arab politics. For the first time in more than 50 years, the voices of average Tunisians, Egyptians, and Libyans can directly influence political outcomes. This shift may yet prove to be temporary, but its importance in driving current events cannot be discounted. Adapted from the source document.

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.

Many of the bluffs are steeper than their equilibrium angles and typically move as slow earth slides or occasional rapid slumps. Such movements develop largely where interlayered sand and clay contain perched groundwater that acts to reduce effective stress during winter months when perched potentiometric surface elevations rise because water cannot discharge through frozen soil. Aerial photograph records dating back to 1938 show that bluffs recede in amphitheater-like depressions followed by "catch up" where headlands between amphitheaters are attacked by other forms of erosion. This bluff recession is particularly pronounced during stages of high lake levels. The erosion control experiment described herein has been designed to determine the manner in which groundwater activity influences the causes and mechanisms of mass wasting on the Great Lakes coasts. Three dewatering demonstration sites were selected, monitored electronically for virtually all movement and cause relationships, and dewatered to demonstrate a potential mitigation strategy other than construction of wave barriers. Erosion activity and dewatering effects were carefully monitored for three seasonal cycles. Results show that (1) dewatering greatly reduces ground displacements during winter months, and (2) bluff movements are almost perfectly timed to, or lag slightly after, the hours when potentiometric surfaces near the bluff face reach their highest elevations during freezing (greatest soil pore pressure) or their greatest rates of surficial discharge (soon after thaw).

Veteran Identity, Representative Bureaucracy, and Vocational Rehabilitation AN - 1364697493; 201319827 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.

One challenge is the selection of inputs that reflect the dynamic nature of operational environments. A method was developed to address the uncertainty inherent in inputs to enhance TM applications. METHODS: Each required input (N) contains a potential error of A, and its representative points are N-A, N, and N+A. Combinations of representative points of all inputs define the input uncertainty. They are entered into TM for simulation and the corresponding outcomes are distributions. A validated TM was used for two hypothetical case analyses: exercise in air (case A, CA), and at rest during immersion in water (case B, CB). For CA, the ambient temperature (Ta) was 29 and 35 degree C (containing plus or minus 5% error), metabolic rate 500W ( plus or minus 10%). For CB, the water temperature (Tw) was 5 and 15 degree C ( plus or minus 5%), body fat 20% ( plus or minus 10%). Other TM inputs were constants ( plus or minus 5%): wind speed 0.5 m/s, relative humidity 50%, height 1.75 m, weight 75 kg. Predicted outcomes are endurance time (tendu), until core temperature (Tcore) reaches the heat injury threshold of 39.5 degree C (CA), and survival time (tsurv), when Tcore falls to the lethal threshold of 30 degree C (CB). RESULTS: For CA: tendu ranges from 1.0 to 3.2 h for Ta 35 degree C. tendu ranges from 1.5 h to indefinite for Ta 29 degree C, indicating a possible sustainable thermal status. For CB: tsurv ranges from 2.9 to 5.9 h and 6.0 to 16.2 h for Tw of 5 and 15 degree C respectively. DISCUSSION: The results demonstrated the impact of errors in inputs on the prediction. Uncertainty analysis considers these errors in the simulation process, and enables TM to generate distributions which provide more complete information to decision making than a single value.

The purpose of USAARL's Precision Marksmanship Range (PMR) is to evaluate the effects that optical devices such as lenses, protective eyewear, and face shields have on this important visual task. The present study was conducted to determine the limits in the precision of the PMR instrumentation (machine mount, rifles, and electronic targets) in order to ensure that it is capable of assessing human visually-limited marksmanship performance. METHODS: Each rifle was rigidly secured in a custom machine mount (USAARL) aligned to a commercial electronic target (MegaLink) at a 10 meters distance. Three rifles were tested: (1) Anschutz 8002, (2) Crossman MAR177 and (3) Creedmoor AiR15. They were equipped with custom trial lens mounts (USAARL) and configured to duplicate the iron sight picture of the M16A2 service rifle. RESULTS: The data consist of 6 groups of 10 shots for each rifle. From each shot's horizontal and vertical location, score, shot radius, and group size were calculated. The Anschutz 8002, the MAR177, and the AiR15 average shot group radius was 0.90, 1.38, and 0.72 minutes of arc, respectively; differences in radius that are statistically significant (p <0.01). Thus, the PMR instrumentation (all three rifles, the custom machine mount, and electronic targets) can produce maximum scores on standard marksmanship targets with a level of precision that few, if any, marksmen can achieve with standard issue iron sights. DISCUSSION: The PMR provides a resolution that is precise enough to measure the limits of even the most expert marksmanship performance. Thus the PMR promises to be useful for the evaluation of optical devices' effect on operational visual performance. The present results, describing the assembled components of the PMR as a complete system without the human-in-the-loop, provide a baseline to evaluate individual sighting variability.

This data includes kinematics of the human head and neck response to vertical and horizontal acceleration. A unique challenge of analyzing historical research is the heightened need for confidence in the data's validity. To this end, NBDL kinematic data has been validated by cross-correlating film-derived and accelerometer-derived kinematic variables for the head andT1 anatomical origins. METHODS: Fifty one unhelmeted vertical acceleration runs from 14 volunteers were analyzed. Velocities from two independent sources-displacement and acceleration-were computed. Cross correlations were computed between accelerometer-derived and photo-derived velocities for all kinematic variables to determine the correlation coefficient at zero time lag as well as the lag at peak correlation. Mean and standard deviation of correlation coefficients were assessed. RESULTS: Based on the resulting correlation coefficients and the support of the literature, angular velocity of the head with respect to T1 in the sagittal plane and resultant linear velocity of the head were selected as critical variables. The mean correlation coefficient for angular velocity was 0.807 (SD = 0.151) and for resultant linear velocity was 0.937 (SD = 0.046). Mean lag in milliseconds was 9.655 (SD = 5.664) for angular velocity and 3.583 (SD = 12.039) for resultant linear velocity. The mean +/- standard deviation values define the acceptable zone for correlation and lag values to validate the data. DISCUSSION: Results show strong kinematic agreement overall and enable identification of runs with discrepant data that should be excluded from analyses.

Stabilizing the aircraft in a hover position in areas of limited contrast is a difficult task made more complex when over water due to the motion of the waves and the drift of the rescue target. This study assessed the efficacy of a tactile system providing directional cues in a simulated extraction task under varied conditions (e.g., degraded visual environment, fatigue). It was hypothesized that the tactile cues would enhance performance. METHODS: This study employed a mixed-model 24 factorial design. There was one between-subjects variable: training amount (minimal, additional); and three within-subjects variables: state (rested, fatigued), visual environment (degraded, good), andTSAS-Lite belt (active, inactive). Sixteen UH-60 rated, healthy U.S. Army aviators participated in the study. RESULTS: Mixed-model analyses of variance showed a significant main effect of the tactile cues such that the mean range of the aircraft to the target was less when the tactile system was active (tactile cues were administered) than when inactive. Also, there was a significant main effect of the visual environment such that the mean range was less when the visual environment was degraded than when it was good. A principal components analysis and subsequent multiple linear regression showed that patterns of the cues (relative to location on the garment) influenced performance. DISCUSSION: The results of this study support the use of cues delivered by a tactile system. Results also indicate that participants were fatigued (evidenced by mood and vigilance data) but performance was unaffected by this condition. The data patterns indicate that participants developed a strategy for using the cues (in some cases with minimal training) which influenced how well they performed. This study provides support for the efficacy of a tactile system in aviation settings.

Tactical displays use color coding as a friend/foe discriminator, which stresses the importance of normal color discrimination. New display technologies demand that personnel color vision standards remain task relevant. The ultimate goal is to provide recommendations for a color vision test that is quick to administer, easy to interpret, and able to accurately classify and quantify color deficiencies. METHODS: A battery of color vision tests were administered to 42 color vision normal (CVN) and 39 color vision deficient (CVD; 26 deutan and 13 protan) Soldiers. The color vision test battery included: Dvorine pseudoisochromatic plates (PIP), Standard PIP 2 (SPP2); PIP Ishihara Compatible (PIPIC); Hardy Rand and Ritter (HRR) PIP, 4th Edition; Farnsworth Lantern (FALANT); Farnsworth D-15 (D15); Colour Assessment & Diagnosis (CAD) test, and the Cone Contrast Test (CCT). All tests were administered monocularly following the manufacturer's instructions. The sensitivity and specificity of each test were determined using the anomaloscope as the gold standard. RESULTS: The sensitivity and specificity, respectively, for detection of color perception were high for: PIPIC (1.0; 1.0); Dvorine PIP (1.0; 0.98), HRR (0.97; 0.93); SPP2 (0.89; 1.0); and FALANT (0.86; 0.95). The D-15 had the lowest sensitivity (0.36; 1.0). The sensitivity and specificity for detection and categorization of color deficiencies were higher for the CCT (1.0; 1.0) than for the CAD (0.94; 0.89), when compared to the anomaloscope. The average administration time for the CCT and CAD tests were 6 and 25.5 min, respectively. DISCUSSION: When properly administered, the PIPC and the Dvorine PIP have the highest sensitivity and specificity as screening tests for color vision. The CCT has the highest sensitivity and specificity as well as the shortest administration time for detection and categorization of color vision perception.

This collaborative 10-year longitudinal occupational medicine study was conducted under the auspices of The Technical Cooperative Program, Subgroup HUM, Technical Panel 7, (Human Factors in the Aviation Environment). The HMD is the Integrated Helmet and Display Sighting System (IHADSS) employed on the AH Mk 1 Apache helicopter. The system consists of a right-sided monocular Helmet Display Unit that serves as the pilot's primary source of information concerning the aircraft's state and the outside environment. Over the past 20 years, numerous anecdotal reports have arisen among Apache pilots regarding visual problems resulting from the long-term use of the IHADSS HMD. Past user surveys have documented these complaints. METHODS: The study followed Apache pilots and a control population of non-Apache pilots. Data were collected via an expanded battery of monocular and binocular tests (e.g., refractive error, low/high contrast visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, depth perception, accommodation, color perception) administered during annual flight physicals. RESULTS: Of the 227 subjects enrolled during the conduct of the study, 46 Apache pilots and 70 control pilots accrued sufficient visual exams to be included in the final analysis. Apache pilots had a mean age of 34 years and a mean of 592 flight hours using the AH-64's monocular IHADSS HMD. Control subjects had a mean age of 31 years and a mean of 49 flight hours using night vision goggles (NVGs). Neither between-group nor within-subject comparisons showed any statistically significant differences for any vision test parameter. DISCUSSION: There is no indication from this study that long-term use of the IHADSS HMD results in negative performance effects on monocular or binocular vision.

A more detailed analysis, now presented, demonstrates the repeatability of thickness measurements across the three-dimensional corneal landscape by time of day, traversing three separate days of data gathering. METHODS: The OrbScan copyright system methodology has been previously reported both via peer-reviewed manuscript as well as via published abstract (Lattimore et al., 1999). RESULTS: Surprisingly, the thickness difference at all corneal loci, across the critical times of day, revealed a uniformity of corneal diurnal thickness variation. The Two-Way ANOVA of thickness, by both corneal loci and time of day indicated highly significant thickness differences; polynomial trend lines of the two extremes yielded combined R2 values of 0.9984. DISCUSSION: Corneal swelling is commonly a reflection of extracellular fluid accumulating within the stroma, composed of highly hydrophilic collagen fibrils. The corneal endothelium is capable of controlling the stroma's hydrostatic imbibation pressure by actively pumping fluid out of the cornea into the anterior chamber. The apparent mechanism of this diurnal thickness change is NOT indexed against the density of its endothelial cellular structure (densely packed apically, with fewer cells in the periphery); otherwise, the thickness changes in the periphery would be greater than those in the apical region. In conclusion, while corneal thickness is the standard by which refractive change is surgically accomplished, the underlying indices for metabolic change are necessarily via tissue volumetric measurement, necessitating in-depth modeling. This uniformity of diurnal change is important to the Aerospace community, because it is in-line with pachymetry data reported under weightless conditions (implying the presence of a common underlying mechanism).

The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of using skin surface measurements to estimate core temperature (Tc), and to document heat strain levels while wearing BA during exercise in warm environments. METHODS: Nine (9) volunteers walked on a treadmill for 60 min at a moderate work rate (~350 W), then attempted a second walk at a higher intensity (~550 W) in warm (25 degree C, 50% RH), hot-humid (35 degree C, 70% RH), and hot-dry (40 degree C, 20% RH) environments. Measurements included Tc, six heat flux (HF) and surface temperature (Ts) values (forehead, sternum, pectoralis, scapula, rib, thigh), heart rate (HR), and two standing, two walking metabolic rates (M). The Tc safety limit was 39.5 degree C. RESULTS: Eight (8) volunteers completed the second walk in the warm environment, 6 in the hot-dry environment, and 3 in the hot-humid environment. There were no significant differences in M among environments for either the moderate 347 plus or minus 28 W or higher 537 plus or minus 28 W intensity walks. ForTc there were significant differences between hot-humid condition and the other environments (ATc values for second walk, warm = 0.8 plus or minus 0.4, hot-humid = 1.7 plus or minus 0.3, hot-dry = 1.3 plus or minus 0.3 degree C/h). For mean HR there were significant differences among all environments for the second walk (warm = 135 plus or minus 20, hot-humid = 163 plus or minus 12, hot-dry = 153 plus or minus 12 bpm. Based on correlations, the strongest overall relationship between Tc and HF was for the thigh (r = 0.59), and for Ts, the sternum (r = 0.69). DISCUSSION: The hot-humid environment was the most stressful for volunteers, wearing BA. It may be feasible to estimate Tc using a combination of HF and Ts surface measurements.

The device is a unified hybrid, dual-mode design including both an electromechanical acoustic (passive) mode and a 2 to 3MHz Doppler (active) mode. Testing has validated the device's ability to function in high ambient noise conditions. METHODS: Four providers completed an end-user evaluation within a military treatment facility (Madigan Army Medical Center) giving feedback on 47 patients (50 patient observations and multiple observations on 3 patients). Non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney U tests) evaluated clinicians' reported perceptions of ease of use; confidence in hearing heart and lung sounds, and detecting known pathology (heart and lung anomalies). RESULTS: All providers gave positive feedback on ease of use and increased confidence in the acoustic over the Doppler mode. In contrast, sparse comments made on known pathology lacked statistical significance resulting in limited insight on diagnosing anomalies. DISCUSSION: While the Doppler mode proved problematic, due to a lack of familiarity with an ultrasound modality, the results of this study still support the use of the NIS.

Nine healthy volunteers completed three experimental trials which consisted of aeuhydration (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 V sub(plasma) loss nor P sub(osm) increases were associated with changes in balance. We concluded that standing balance was not altered by hypohydration.

Methods: As part of a larger neuroepidemiology study, balance tasks were completed by JP-8-exposed individuals (n = 37). Short-term JP-8 exposure was measured using personal breathing zone levels and urinary biomarkers. Multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between workday JP-8 exposure and postural sway. Results: Balance control decreased as the task became more challenging. Workday exposure to JP-8, measured by either personal air or urinary metabolite levels, was not significantly related to postural sway. Increases in workday postural sway were associated with demographic variables, including younger age, being a current smoker, and higher body mass index. Conclusion: Results suggest that short-term workday JP-8 exposure does not significantly contribute to diminished balance control.

This expansion in genetic diversity is expected to give rise to viruses with altered antigenicity, virulence, and transmissibility. We previously demonstrated the co-circulation of multiple DENV genotypes in Thailand and identified a predominant genotype for each serotype. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis of the complete genomic sequences of 28 DENV-3 predominant genotype II strains previously collected during different DENV-3 epidemics in Thailand from 1973 to 2001 with the goal to define mutations that might correlate with virulence, transmission frequency, and epidemiological impact. The results revealed (1) 37 amino acid and six nucleotide substitutions adopted and fixed in the virus genome after their initial substitutions over nearly 30-year-sampling period, (2) the presence of more amino acid and nucleotide substitutions in recent virus isolates compared with earlier isolates, (3) six amino acid substitutions in capsid (C), pre-membrane (prM), envelope (E), and nonstructural (NS) proteins NS4B and NS5, which appeared to be associated with periods of high DENV-3 epidemic activity, (4) the highest degree of conservation in C, NS2B and the 5'-untranslated region (UTR), and (5) the highest percentage of amino acid substitutions in NS2A protein.

One mutant exhibited an accelerated rate of germination in association with disruption of benK. This gene encodes a putative protein with high homology to membrane transporters that facilitate benzoate transport. We hypothesized that BenK may not be only spore associated, but also have a vegetative cell role. A reporter strain with a translational fusion of benK to green fluorescent protein demonstrated that full-length BenK was present in vegetative cells and that a BenK degradation product was present in spores by detecting the reporter using fluorescence and Western blot analysis. A minimum inhibitory concentration assay indicated that vegetative cells of a benK::Kan mutant were more susceptible to the antimicrobial effects of Na-benzoate. The mutant spores germinated to a greater extent within 1 h than the wild type in an in vitro fluorescence assay. The disruption of benK also resulted in spores that were less readily phagocytosed in a macrophage assay. Despite these altered in vitro phenotypes, no apparent effect of the BenK protein on virulence in the intranasal mouse model or the guinea pig competitive assay was observed. This work shows that, although the BenK protein does not impact fitness or virulence in an infection model, it is involved in other aspects of both the spore and vegetative forms of the organism.

AN - 1318096002; 23354755 AB - On December 22, 2008, failure of an earthen containment structure resulted in the release of approximately 4.1 million m(3) 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.

Variations in the chemical structures of kerogens from high volatile bituminous coal near two igneous dike intrusions in the Illinois Basin were characterized in detail by advanced solid-state (super 13) C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. With decreasing distance to dike contacts and increasing thermal maturity (vitrinite reflectance R (sub o) from 0.62% to 5.03%), the new insights into the chemical structural changes in coal kerogens include (i) the C(CH (sub 2) )C groups removed faster than CCH (sub 3) groups, suggesting that the major cleavage of aliphatics should not occur at aryl rings, (ii) a progressive decrease of the relative abundance of protonated aromatic carbons, possibly due to replacement of aromatic hydrogens by aryl groups via cross-linking, and (iii) an increase in the aromatic cluster size, in addition to the well established changes of the elimination of aliphatics and aromatic C-O groups and an increase in aromaticity. For the first time the growth of aromatic cluster sizes with increasing maturity was quantitatively estimated. Another novel finding is that coal kerogen (kerogen #22) directly at the contact with the large dike retained considerable aliphatic components with olefinic and COO groups. These aliphatic components could have been entrapped and failed to diffuse out rapidly enough because intense and very fast heating rendered this kerogen partially fluidized. Our advanced solid-state NMR techniques provided deep insights into the structural changes in kerogen from bituminous coal in response to dike intrusions which cannot be achievable using routine (super 13) C cross polarization/magic angle spinning technique.

In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) forecast a sea-level rise from 1990 to 2100 between 0.18 and 0.59 m, but they did not completely consider contributions from Greenland and Antarctica in determining the upper limit. Recent projections by others have been larger, typically 1-2 m, with Greenland and Antarctica being the greatest contributors. However, these projections are usually maximum possible rises without probabilities of occurrence, whereas the maximum IPCC projection is at the 95% confidence level with a 2.5% probability of being equaled or exceeded. Project planning and design generally require projections with associated probabilities to determine risk. This paper shows what worldwide tide gauge data tell us about sea-level rise trends and accelerations in the twentieth century, and satellite altimeter recordings tell us about the rise since the early 1990s. Using IPCC methodology, sea level projections with associated probabilities are made from 1990 to 2100. Projections of Greenland and Antarctica contributions are estimated based on satellite measurements of current ice-mass-loss trends and accelerations, and then they are added to contributions from thermal expansion and melting of glaciers and ice caps based on the latest information. Sea-level rise projections from 1990 to 2100 are 0.18, 0.48, and 0.82 m at 5, 50, and 95% confidence levels, respectively.

This study quantified head sweating rate (m sub(sw)) in eight males during rest and exercise at three metabolic rates (338 plus or minus 36, 481 plus or minus 24, 622 plus or minus 28 W) in hot-dry (HD: 45 degree C, 21 % RH) and hot-wet (HW: 35 degree C, 69 % RH) conditions (matched at 31.6 degree C WBGT), which were counterbalanced. Heads were shaved, and surface area was (458 plus or minus 61 cm super(2)) measured by 3D scanner. For measurement of head m sub(sw), dry air was passed through a sealed helmet, whereas for forearm m sub(sw) a capsule (15.9 cm super(2)) was ventilated with ambient air. Evaporation rate was determined from the increase in vapor pressure in the exiting air. Whole-body sweat loss was calculated from the change in nude weight plus fluid intake and corrected for respiratory fluid losses. Head m sub(sw) increased (p = 0.001) with metabolic rate, and was lower (p = 0.018) in HD (0.4 plus or minus 0.2 mg cm super(-2) min super(-1) at rest to 1.1 plus or minus 0.6 mg cm super(-2) min super(-1) at 622 W), compared to HW (0.5 plus or minus 0.3-1.4 plus or minus 0 .8 mg cm super(-2) mi n super(-1)). Forearm m sub(sw) increased (p < 0.001) with metabolic rate, but was higher (p = 0.002) in HD (0.4 plus or minus 0.3-1.4 plus or minus 0 .7 mg cm super(-2) mi n super(-1)) than HW (0.1 plus or minus 0.1-1.1 plus or minus 0 .3 mg cm super(-2) mi n super(-1)). Whole-body sweat loss was not significantly different (p = 0.06) between HD (647 plus or minus 139 g m super(-2) h super(-1)) and HW (528 plus or minus 189 g m super(-2) h super(-1)). This study demonstrates the importance of the head for evaporative heat loss, particularly for populations who wear protective clothing which can impair vapor transfer from the skin.

Although flow through fractures has typically been associated with either crystalline or carbonate rocks, there is growing evidence that it can be an important component of flow in relatively permeable sandstone formations. The objective of this work is to determine the role that fractures serve in the transport of near-surface contaminants such as wastewater from leaking sewers, to public supply wells in a deep bedrock aquifer. A part of the Cambrian aquifer system in Madison, Wisconsin (USA), was studied using a combination of geophysical, geochemical, and hydraulic testing in a borehole adjacent to a public supply well. Data suggest that bedrock fractures are important transport pathways from the surface to the deep aquifer. These fractured intervals have transmissivity values several orders of magnitude higher than non-fractured intervals. With respect to rapid transport of contaminants, high transmissivity values of individual fractures make them the most likely preferential flow pathways. Results suggest that in a siliciclastic aquifer near a public supply well, fractures may have an important role in the transport of sewer-derived wastewater contaminants.Original Abstract: Afin de proteger des puits publics d'alimentation contre une large gamme de polluants, il est imperatif de comprendre le flux physique et les mecanismes de transport dans le systeme aquifere. Bien qu'un flux a travers des fractures ait ete typiquement associe a des roches soit cristallines soit carbonatees, il y a une evidence grandissante qu'il peut etre une composante importante de flux dans des formations greseuses relativement permeables. L'objectif de ce travail est de determiner le role que les fractures jouent dans le transfert de contaminants de sub-surface, tels que eaux usees d'egouts fuyants, a des puits d'alimentation dans un substrat aquifere profond. Une partie du systeme aquifere de Madispn, Wisconsin (USA) a ete etudie en utilisant une combinaison de tests geophysique, geochimique et hydraulique dans un forage adjacent a un puits d'alimentation publique. Les donnees suggerent que les fractures du substrat sont des chemins importants de passage depuis la surface a l'aquifere profond. Ces intervalles fracturees ont une transmissivite d'ordre de grandeur plusieurs fois superieure a celle des intervalles non fractures. En raison du transport rapide des contaminants, des valeurs de transmissivite elevees des fractures singulieres en font les chemins preferentiels les plus vraisemblables. Les resultats suggerent que dans un aquifere silicate pres d'un puits d'alimentation public, des fractures peuvent avoir un role important dans le transport de contaminants d'eau residuaire provenant d'egouts.

The most common mechanism of injury leading to a scaphoid fracture is a fall on an outstretched hand (FOOSH), causing a hyperextension force on the wrist. The following 2 cases, which occurred within 3 months of each other, highlight the difficulty of managing patients with possible scaphoid fractures. Neither patient had a typical FOOSH-related mechanism of injury, and neither was initially tender over the scaphoid.Conclusion:Differential diagnoses should include a scaphoid fracture with any hyperextension traumatic injury (FOOSH or non-FOOSH), even in the absence of scaphoid tenderness and when initial radiographic findings are normal.

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 60 m during the pre-bypassing period but accreted 10-20 m during the bypassing period. The mean shoreline location on the updrift beach during bypassing is 10-20 m 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 1500 m 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.

Nevertheless, neither the processes for scenario analysis (SA) nor evaluation criteria and metrics have been regularized. In this paper, SA-reported applications and implementation methodology are discussed in the context of an extensive literature review covering papers published between 2000 and 2010. Over 340 papers were identified through a series of queries in the web of science database. The papers were classified based on the North American Industrial Classification System and SA application goals (environmental, business, and social). SA methodology used in each paper was assessed based on four main criteria: coverage, consistency, uncertainty assessment, and efficiency. We find a significant increase in SA applications, especially in the environmental field. Theoretical developments in the field represent a small fraction of published studies and do not increase in time. The methods used to develop different scenarios vary widely across the academic literature and applications reviewed. Similarly, the methods and data used to characterize the scenarios and develop response strategies are extremely diverse and are limited by factors such as computational tractability and available time and resources. Based on this review, we recommend a regular process for scenario analysis that includes the steps of analysis, scenario definition, and evaluation.

We used automated radiotelemetry to provide the first detailed tests of the hypothesis that the nocturnal activity of free-ranging snakes should be influenced by temperature, moon phase, and prey abundance by using data for Ratsnakes (Pantherophisspp.) from Texas and Illinois. Ratsnakes exhibited some nocturnal behavior throughout their active season in both Texas and Illinois, although snakes were much more active at night in Texas than in Illinois. Texas snakes transitioned from primarily diurnal activity to primarily nocturnal activity over this snake's active season, whereas Illinois snakes were always most active in the middle of the day. For both populations, nocturnal activity was positively related to temperature but unrelated to moon phase. Ratsnakes in Texas exhibited a stepwise increase in nocturnal activity in mid-summer, independent of temperature and coincident with the shift in their diet to almost exclusively mammals active at night. Given the ability of snakes in both populations to be active at night when temperatures allow, warming climates could lead to an increase in nocturnal activity, with consequences for both the snakes and the species on which they prey.

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.

In this report, the serologic and phylogenetic relationships of the Uukuniemi group viruses and their relationships with other recently characterized tick-borne phleboviruses are described using full-length genome sequences. We propose that the viruses currently included in the Uukuniemi virus group be assigned to five different species as follows: Uukuniemi virus, EgAn 1825-61 virus, Fin V707 virus, Chize virus, and Zaliv Terpenia virus would be classified into the Uukuniemi species; Murre virus, RML-105-105355 virus, and Sunday Canyon virus would be classified into a Murre virus species; and Grand Arbaud virus, Precarious Point virus, and Manawa virus would each be given individual species status. Although limited sequence similarity was detected between current members of the Uukuniemi group and Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) and Heartland virus, a clear serological reaction was observed between some of them, indicating that SFTSV and Heartland virus should be considered part of the Uukuniemi virus group. Moreover, based on the genomic diversity of the phleboviruses and given the low correlation observed between complement fixation titers and genetic distance, we propose a system for classification of the Bunyaviridae based on genetic as well as serological data. Finally, the recent descriptions of SFTSV and Heartland virus also indicate that the public health importance of the Uukuniemi group viruses must be reevaluated.

A small percentage does not explode, thus generating unexploded ordnance (UXO) in current range areas at a substantial rate. As these ranges are closed, the DoD becomes responsible for the environmental restoration of the affected properties. Current methods of UXO remediation are costly because of high false alarm rates. Our current research is to develop a complementary technology that will alleviate false alarm rate by detecting, classifying, and locating UXO in near real time (less than 1 minute) as a munition impacts the range. This technology will utilize an array of buried seismic sensors in a calibrated range area, along with a set of algorithms based on theoretical and applied seismology and statistical analysis. Initial field tests at three sites focused on developing concepts of the seismic and acoustic location of ordnance impacts. Our research program developed from these initial field tests has four primary objectives: 1) fully implement a wired seismic-acoustic ordnance impact location system for live fire ranges; 2) develop a system capability to discriminate high-order (HE), low-order (partially exploded), and zero-order (UXO) events; 3) reduce location error to a stringent program metric of 1-2 m; and 4) investigate the feasibility of developing a wireless implementation of the technology. This paper describes the procedures and results from follow-on tests that were conducted in two locations at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland. These tests were used to evaluate potential seismic-acoustic methods and system configurations for a Seismic-Acoustic Impact Monitoring Assessment (SAIMA) system for mitigating UXO hazards. Significant results from this work include: 1) seismic impulses from low-order impacts were detected at distances up to 1,000 meters; 2) classification features based on measurements of the amplitude of acoustic and seismic phases produce clear discrimination between HE and UXO impacts; 3) calculated location solutions for HE and UXO impacts yield an average location error of 10-20 meters; and 4) empirical observation and waveform modeling demonstrated that surface waves dominate the signal at all distances and therefore should be the primary phase used for all components of analysis. Furthermore, these tests demonstrated the current system design, allowing further enhancements, is capable of meeting the initial research objectives (1) and (2). Future research will focus on improving system performance with refinement of the sensor-layout geometry and the detection and location algorithms through system error analyses and follow-on field testing.

The chemical structure of organic matter in raw oil shale and spent shale samples was examined in this study using advanced solid-state (super 13) C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Oil shale was collected from Mahogany zone outcrops in the Piceance Basin. Five samples were analyzed: (1) raw oil shale, (2) isolated kerogen, (3) oil shale extracted with chloroform, (4) oil shale retorted in an open system at 500 degrees C to mimic surface retorting, and (5) oil shale retorted in a closed system at 360 degrees C to simulate in-situ retorting. The NMR methods applied included quantitative direct polarization with magic-angle spinning at 13 kHz, cross polarization with total sideband suppression, dipolar dephasing, CH (sub n) selection, (super 13) C chemical shift anisotropy filtering, and (super 1) H- (super 13) C long-range recoupled dipolar dephasing. The NMR results showed that, relative to the raw oil shale, (1) bitumen extraction and kerogen isolation by demineralization removed some oxygen-containing and alkyl moieties; (2) unpyrolyzed samples had low aromatic condensation; (3) oil shale pyrolysis removed aliphatic moieties, leaving behind residues enriched in aromatic carbon; and (4) oil shale retorted in an open system at 500 degrees C contained larger aromatic clusters and more protonated aromatic moieties than oil shale retorted in a closed system at 360 degrees C, which contained more total aromatic carbon with a wide range of cluster sizes.

The root causes of the conflict can be understood by use of globalization theory, which dialectically brings together the clashing forces from above and below. Civil society in Chechnya deteriorated, is politically curtailed, and has no resilience left. It thus results in a frozen conflict and an excluded and victimized society. Russian-style reconstruction does alleviate living conditions, but does not remediate the frozen conflict character of the present situation. The dynamics of the globalizing forces from below and above, summarized in the glocalization concept, not only explains the resistance by the Chechen people, for whom revolt, rebellion, and terrorism remain attractive options, but also serves as a model for other insurgencies. Reflecting on the two recent Chechen-Russian wars results in a paradigmatic case study. Reprinted by permission of Frank Cass & Co. Ltd.

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.

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.

A newly formulated desensitizer containing tetracalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (CPD-100) was evaluated in comparison to oxalate containing desensitizer (SS) regarding permeability reduction (PR%) by measuring hydraulic conductance on the etched dentin discs in vitro. CPD-100 exhibited mean PR% of 91%, which significantly increased to 98% after immersion in artificial saliva (AS) for 4 weeks (p < 0.001), while SS showed a significant decrease from 99% to 93% (p < 0.01). SEM observation showed newly formed crystallites on CPD-100 treated dentin, which did not exist in SS treated dentin after AS immersion, suggesting that calcium oxalate inhibited formation of new calcium-phosphate minerals. Five-minute acid challenge did not significantly affect PR% of dentin treated by any of the desensitizers. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis indicated that the formed layer of CPD-100 were minerals with similar Ca/P ratio to hydroxyapatite. In conclusion, the newly developed calcium-phosphate desensitizer has the potential to exhibit long-term stability in the oral environment, owing to its chemical properties that promote the crystal growth in salivary fluid. copyright 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Because all present drugs have been grandfathered into clinical use, there are no examples of a pre-clinical product evaluation scheme that lead to new candidates for formal development. To provide oral agents for development targeting cutaneous leishmaniasis, we have implemented a discovery scheme that incorporates in vitro and in vivo testing of efficacy, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics/metabolism. Particular emphasis is placed on in vivo testing, progression from higher-throughput models to those with most clinical relevance, and efficient use of resources.

We evaluated amplification strategies and the practicality of a portable DNA microarray platform to analyze virus-infected mosquitoes. The prototype microarray design used here targeted the nonstructural protein 5, ribosomal RNA, and cytochrome b genes for the detection of flaviviruses, mosquitoes, and bloodmeals, respectively. We identified 13 of 14 flaviviruses from virus inoculated mosquitoes and cultured cells. Additionally, we differentiated between four mosquito genera and eight whole blood samples. The micro array platform was field evaluated in Thailand and successfully identified flaviviruses (Culex flavivirus, dengue-3, and Japanese encephalitis viruses), differentiated between mosquito genera (Aedes, Armigeres, Culex, and Mansonia), and detected mammalian bloodmeals (human and dog). We showed that the microarray platform and amplification strategies described here can be used to discern specific information on a wide variety of viruses and their vectors.

This article reviews the literature on brace use for patients with anterior cruciate ligament tears in order to provide a guide for clinicians. There is evidence to support immediate postoperative bracing, with the goals of maintaining full extension and decreasing effusion. There may be a psychological benefit for its use in return to sport; however, this should be weighed against decreased performance.

The determination of toxicity by inhalation is important for the rational development of timely therapeutic countermeasures. This study was designed to deliver aerosolized dilute nerve agents in a dose-response manner to investigate the extent of lethality of nerve agents: soman, sarin, VX and VR. Male rats were anesthetized intramuscularly with 10 mg/kg xylazine and 90 mg/kg ketamine. Following anesthesia, rats were intubated with a glass endotracheal tube (ET) and placed in a glove box. These relationships were converted to actual 10 min Lct[sub 50] equivalents: VX = 632.2, VR = 367, GD = 954.3 and GB = 880 mg.min/m[sup 3]. Validation of exposure was verified by the determination of blood levels of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) across doses for the agent VR.

The back-barrier system is strongly affected by sedimentation and shoaling problems, as well as rapidly migrating channels and shifting sand bodies that result in shoreline erosion, navigation problems, and loss of anchorage. As a result, Hampton-Seabrook Harbor has been significantly modified by engineering activities including construction of jetties, periodic dredging, and a reconfiguration of a major tidal channel and shoal system. In 2005, as part of the National Shoreline Erosion Control and Demonstration Program, one of the major tidal channel systems was modified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to alleviate shoreline erosion and navigation problems. A tidal channel that naturally cut through a large intertidal shoal in the harbor was closed off with bulkheads and a new channel dredged to handle the tidal prism. Following the placement of the bulkheads, a study was conducted to assess morphologic changes, tidally and meteorologically forced water levels, tidal currents in selected channels and adjacent to the bulkheads, and bottom sediment characteristics. Results of the field program show that water level fluctuations at the stations monitored in the harbor are dominantly controlled by eight tidal constituents (99% of the variance), with the M2 and N2 constituents accounting for 96% of the variance. However, the M2, as well as several higher harmonic amplitudes (M4, M6 and M8) increase up-estuary, accompanied by an 11 to 15 minute tidal lag. Despite the strong control of the water level changes by the tidal constituents, meteorological conditions cause aperiodic storm surges as demonstrated by water levels in the upper estuary being approximately 50 cm higher than predicted. The tidal forcing in Hampton-Seabrook Estuary results in strong tidal currents with peak observed velocities on the order of 50 to 75 cm/s, with significant vertical and cross-channel flows ( approximately 10 to 20 cm/s). The strong tidal currents and transport of coarser-grained sediments result in channel instability, shoal development, and rapid changes in the morphologic character of the system.

Much of the state has been successfully mapped through the federally funded STATEMAP program. However, due to vegetation cover, challenging terrain, and many geological complexities, some ambiguities, simplifications, and unknowns exist within New Hampshire geology interpretations. Here we explore the potential of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) as a tool for aiding surficial and bedrock geology mapping efforts in New Hampshire and we provide case studies in support of these efforts. We have collected approximately 200 km of GPR data with center frequencies between 80-400 MHz within the Upper Connecticut River Valley and regions surrounding the Presidential and Franconia Mountain Ranges of New Hampshire. Profiles were collected on class II-VI roads, hiking trails, and off-trail, during the months of February-September 2012. Lower frequency profiles revealed maximum penetration depths over 30 m with greater penetration over solid bedrock and shallower penetration generally occurring over till. Attenuation rates vary considerably depending on water content, till cover, and bedrock type. However, the wet till sequences are generally the most lossy with meta-volcanic bedrock also exhibiting higher attenuation rates than granites. Relative permittivity contrasts between till, granite, and fractures within granite allow for easy delineation of till over bedrock (aiding estimates of till volume) and constituents within granite fractures (i.e. water or air). In some instances, a contrast in reflection characteristics between bedrock type is evident (e.g. granite versus metamorphic-volcanic bedrock) allowing the potential sub-surface delineation of bedrock type. These results suggest that GPR may be useful for delineating some rock types at depth, till depth and associated till volume, aquifer dimensions, and water volume based on till-bedrock geometry and calculated relative permittivity values.

We mainly used pulses centered from 150-200 MHz. The boulder-rich diamicts reside over granites and metamorphosed volcanics, the horizons of which are recognized by the relative strength and phase of their waveforms, underlying fractures, and well-developed diffraction asymptotes. The till produced an apparent dense distribution of diffractions with limited asymptotes, limited dispersion, and minor stratification. We exploit these diffractions, and use moveout profiles to calculate relative dielectric permittivities from 17 to 27, which suggest likely saturation within these over-consolidated sediments. The transitions from till to bedrock range from a simple horizon to complex segmented horizons, all characterized by diffractions and amenable to single-layer migration. Maximum profiled till depths ranged from 4 to at least 10 m with estimated attenuation rates of about 3.3 dB m (super -1) caused by scattering. In contrast, one and possibly two colluvial diamicts, which contained boulders likely up to 3 m in dimension, show short segments of stratification, rare diffraction asymptotes, more than 20 m penetration and scattering losses of about 0.5 dB m (super -1) . We measured extremely low conductivity and calculated permittivities ranging from 9-12, which suggest high densities and volumetric water contents of 4-12 %. Scattering appears to be a significant cause of signal loss in the till but not in the colluvial diamict, for which single scattering and deep penetration are consistent with surface ground waves traveling up to 40 m. The phase polarity of waveforms within till and colluvial events show they may originate from either high or low dielectric contrasts, likely related to water or large boulders, respectively.

Although the biochemical properties of native prolidase purified from human erythrocytes, liver, kidney, and fibroblast cells are well known, it is very poorly characterized with regard to its OP hydrolyzing activity. Also, the high cost of purification of large quantities of native enzyme limits its use as a bioscavenger. Thus, recombinant human prolidase with similar biochemical properties to those of native enzyme would be more suitable as a catalytic bioscavenger. In this study, we established an Escherichia coli expression system, which produced a large amount of tagged human liver prolidase that was purified to over 95% purity from the soluble fraction of cell lysate by affinity chromatography on Streptavidin-agarose resin. The catalytic properties of the recombinant enzyme were compared in vitro with those of highly purified prolidase I isolated from human erythrocytes. The catalytic properties of recombinant prolidase overlap with those of the erythrocyte-derived native enzyme. Both enzymes efficiently hydrolyzed diisopropylfluorophosphate, sarin, soman, tabun and cyclosarin, but were much less efficient at hydrolyzing paraoxon and methyl paraoxon. These results suggest that human prolidase expressed in E. coli is suitable for further development as a catalytic bioscavenger for OP nerve agents.

Although the identity and the relative influence of meteorological forces responsible for the development of hurricanes continue to be debated, most scientists agree that many of these key processes vary over decadal and longer time periods. Discerning relevant climate variables that drive hurricane development using traditional harmonic analysis techniques therefore requires a much longer, high-resolution time series, particularly when attempting to tune predictive models for long-term forecasts related to global warming. We present a new methodology for reconstructing such a storm history for the Eastern Caribbean using both the geologic record and early historical accounts. Flood deposits resulting from heavy rainfalls spawned by passing tropical systems (tropical wave - hurricane) are examined at multiple locations across the Eastern Caribbean. Criteria used to select study sites include 1) geographic location across traditional hurricane paths, 2) predominant rainfall events derived from tropical systems, and 3) natural catchment ponds. Sediment cores collected from natural catchment ponds show layers of flood deposits, defined by oxidation bands and grain size, strongly correlate to documented hurricanes. Chronological control over the last 350 years is obtained using both traditional radioisotopes as well as a more novel technique that quantifies the relative abundance of black carbon preserved in the sediment. Wavelet analyses suggest strong recurrence frequencies of 30 years and 70 years, in both the historical storm record and the sediment cores. Our reconstructed cyclone history spans 500 years, from the 16 (super th) through the 20 (super th) century.

Despite substantial research, debate still exists regarding the potential impact of climate change on hurricane frequency and intensity. Long-term records of hurricane activity from a range of proxies potentially provide insight into the complex relationship between global climate and hurricane activity, but proxies are frequently limited in either temporal scale or storm resolution. In addition, the ability of these proxies to accurately record climate-driven trends in hurricane activity in the Eastern Caribbean has, in the past, only been reliably verified using a relatively short historical database ( approximately 50 years). In the process of developing a new, high-resolution geologic proxy for hurricane activity, we compiled a written history of hurricane activity for the Eastern Caribbean over the last 400 years based on a wide range of local, historical sources for the regions of Puerto Rico, Vieques, St. Croix and Antigua. These data also yielded a new chronological marker: black carbon formed during forest fires, critical for developing robust age models for geologic proxies. The historical records indicate significant spatial variability in the likelihood of a hurricane impacting a specific region in a given year, and further suggest that high/low hurricane activity at one site is not indicative of basin-wide hurricane activity. Predictions regarding the impact of climate change on future hurricane activity based on proxies obtained at only a few sites are thus not necessarily applicable to other locations, limiting their usefulness for future coastal planning.

Soil thermal properties are difficult to measure at high temperatures, however, due to the lack of suitable measurement devices and the potential for measurement-induced changes. Therefore, thermal property data are often scarce and incomplete and very often limited to specific soils. Due to this scarcity of accurate experimental data, empirical relationships often do not accurately predict the thermal properties of soils as a function of both soil moisture and temperature. In this study, thermal conductivity and diffusivity were measured for silica sands under loose and tight packing conditions and a field sand under varied water saturation and temperature. Several recent sensor-based technologies were integrated into a small cell modified to have a network of sampling ports, continuously monitoring water saturation, temperature, and soil thermal properties. For the test sands studied, data showed that the thermal conductivity and diffusivity increased noticeably for sample temperatures >50 degrees C. At sample temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees C, any change in thermal properties with temperature was small. Thermal conductivities measured in this study were compared with independent estimates made using empirical models from the literature. In general, good agreement was observed for most thermal conductivity data when proper fitting parameters were established, except at intermediate saturation values.

However, few studies have identified the AMF species associating directly with plant invaders, or how these associations differ from those of native plant species. Identifying changes to the AMF community due to plant invasion could yield key plant-AMF interactions necessary for the restoration of native plant communities. This research compared AMF associating with coexisting Bromus tectorum, an invasive annual grass, and Artemisia tridentata, the dominant native shrub in western North America. At three sites, soil and root samples from Bromus and Artemisia were collected. Sporulation was induced using trap cultures, and spores were identified using morphological characteristics. DNA was extracted from root and soil subsamples and amplified. Sequences obtained were aligned and analyzed to compare diversity, composition, and phylogenetic distance between hosts and sites. Richness of AMF species associated with Artemisia in cultures was higher than AMF species associated with Bromus. Gamma diversity was similar and beta diversity was higher in AMF associated with Bromus compared to Artemisia. AMF community composition differed between hosts in both cultures and roots. Two AMF species (Archaeospora trappei and Viscospora viscosum) associated more frequently with Artemisia than Bromus across multiple sites. AMF communities in Bromus roots were more phylogenetically dispersed than in Artemisia roots, indicating a greater competition for resources within the invasive grass. Bromus associated with an AMF community that differed from Artemisia in a number of ways, and these changes could restrict native plant establishment.

KTR9 AN - 1291609387; 17671717 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.

Madigan Army Medical Center, Refractive Surgery Center, Fort Lewis, Washington, and Micro-Constants Laboratory, San Diego, California, USA. Case-control study. The study comprised male and female active-duty soldiers having excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy with MMC. Patients who met inclusion criteria were asked to provide a blood sample immediately after being treated with MMC 0.2 mg/mL (0.02%) for 30 seconds. Human plasma samples were evaluated by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry to determine whether MMC was present. Thirty samples were submitted for evaluation. There was zero detection of MMC in the submitted samples. The quantifiable limit was greater than 10.0 ng/mL. All samples were below this. In this study of 30 patients with topical application of MMC for refractive surgery, there was no measurable evidence of systemic absorption. Although systemic absorption has been found with use in larger quantities, it was not known whether MMC toxicity concerns could be extrapolated to the refractive surgery population.

AN - 1273247215; 23149253 AB - During recent decades, research on biological systems such as abalone shell and fish armor has revealed that these biological systems employ carefully arranged hierarchical multilayered structures to achieve properties of high strength, high ductility and light weight. Knowledge of such structures may enable pathways to design bio-inspired materials for various applications. This study was conducted to investigate the spatial distribution of structure, chemical composition and mechanical properties in mineralized fish scales of the species Atractosteus spatula. Microindentation tests were conducted, and cracking patterns and damage sites in the scales were examined to investigate the underlying protective mechanisms of fish scales under impact and penetration loads. A difference in nanomechanical properties was observed, with a thinner, stiffer and harder outer layer (indentation modulus ∼69 GPa and hardness ∼3.3 GPa) on a more compliant and thicker inner layer (indentation modulus ∼14.3 GPa and hardness ∼0.5 GPa). High-resolution scanning electron microscopy imaging of a fracture surface revealed that the outer layer contained oriented nanorods embedded in a matrix, and that the nanostructure of the inner layer contained fiber-like structures organized in a complex layered pattern. Damage patterns formed during microindentation show complex deformation mechanisms. Images of cracks identify growth through the outer layer, then deflection along the interface before growing and arresting in the inner layer. High-magnification images of the crack tip in the inner layer show void-linking and fiber-bridging exhibiting inelastic behavior. The observed difference in mechanical properties and unique nanostructures of different layers may have contributed to the resistance of fish scales to failure by impact and penetration loading.

2013-021124 AB - Thawing of permafrost and a shift in the timing of major seasonal transitions (spring melt and fall freeze-up) are two anticipated effects of climate warming in northern regions. These fundamental changes in terrestrial ecosystems could have major ramifications for the timing and fluxes of carbon and nutrient exports from watersheds and the geochemical signatures of northern rivers. Discontinuous permafrost, which underlies watersheds in Interior Alaska (USA), is expected to degrade rapidly in response to climate warming and this will likely alter subsurface flows and flow paths, water residence times, water-soil, and water-rock interactions. This study of the Chena River in Interior Alaska was undertaken to quantify dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), major ion, strontium isotope, and stable oxygen and hydrogen isotope values during two year-long time series sampling periods. Our goal was to identify the hydrogeochemical signatures associated with the major seasonal flow regimes. Periods of increased discharge such as spring melt and major summer precipitation events yielded elevated DOC and TDN concentrations, diluted major ion concentrations, and shifted stable oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios from base flow toward precipitation values. During dry summer periods nutrient concentrations decreased and strontium isotope values were indicative of a higher proportion of silicate versus carbonate mineral dissolution. Winter base flow had a unique geochemical signal with a slight increase in TDN concentrations compared to typical summer conditions, and a lower proportion of silicate versus carbonate mineral dissolution. Since flow paths in subarctic watersheds can change dramatically over the course of a year we interpreted our results within the context of a schematic model for subsurface flow to identify how permafrost degradation might affect nutrient exports and hydrogeochemical patterns in these watersheds.

Small-scale primary screen that provide data on the relative sensitivity of a species to a given herbicide or herbicide use rate can be used to enhance the design of more-costly and time-consuming, large-scale, growth-chamber and mesocosm studies. Flumioxazin are protoporphyrinogen oxidase (protox)-inhibiting herbicides recently registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for use in aquatic sites. Eurasian water-milfoil, fanwort, hydrilla, long-beak buttercup, spring-tape, variable water-milfoil, and water-star-grass. Of the species tested, carfentrazone-ethyl only increased electrolyte leakage of coontail, Eurasian water-milfoil, and variable water-milfoil.

Native to Eurasia, it is an aggressive colonizer that can form dense monospecific stands, interfering with intended water uses and crowding out native plants (Countryman 1970). Ploidy has been strongly correlated with reproductive capacity of flowering rush (Lui et al. 2005). Diploid plants reproduce sexually through seed production, while triploid plants reproduce clonally through rhizome lateral branching. The production of bulbils, a vegetative reproductive structure, has been associated with diploid rather than triploid plants (Lui et al. 2005).

The first experiment assessed the response of narrow-leaf and wide-leaf bio-types of vallisneria (Vallisneria americana Michaux), whereas the second experiment tested American pond-weed (Potamogeton nodosus Poir.), Illinois pond-weed (Potamogeton illinoensis Morong), and coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum L.). The federally registered aquatic herbicides bispyribac-sodium, diquat, endothall, flumioxazin, imazamox, and penoxsulam were applied alone and in combination to determine species selectivity. All herbicides applied alone to narrow-leaf and wide-leaf vallisneria, except the dipotassium salt of endothall 500 mu g ai L[sup -1], failed to reduce shoot biomass compared to the non-treated control 11 wk after treatment (WAT). The data indicate that non-target aquatic plants vary in their tolerance to low-dose herbicide and herbicide combination treatments.

Similar to the herbicides penoxsulam [2-(2,2-difluoroethoxy)-N-(5,8-dimethoxy [1,2,4] triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-2-yl)-6 (trifluoromethyl) benzenesulfonamide] and imazamox [2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl] - 5-(methoxymethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid], bispyribac-sodium inhibits the production of branched-chain amino acids by binding to the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme (Tranel and Wright 2002). Without these essential amino acids, protein synthesis and growth are inhibited, ultimately resulting in plant death (WSSA 2007). While the ALS inhibitors target the same plant enzyme, the large number of ALS inhibitors registered for terrestrial use attests to significant differences in plant selectivity between these compounds; therefore, evaluation of two or three different ALS inhibitors on a suite of plant species may yield very different outcomes. For example, Koschnick et al. (2007) reported EC sub(50) values for penoxsulam, bispyribac-sodium and imazamox on duck potato shoot biomass (Sagittaria lancifolia L.) to be 9, 105, 96 mu g (9, 105, and 96 ppb) active ingredient (ai) L super(-1) respectively.

Migratory waterbirds have the potential of introducing A/H5N1 into east Africa through the Rift Valley of Kenya. We present the results of a wild bird surveillance system for A/H5N1 and other avian influenza viruses based on avian fecal sampling in Kenya. We collected 2630 fecal samples in 2008. Viral RNA was extracted from pools of 3-5 fecal samples and analyzed for presence of avian influenza virus RNA by real-time RT-PCR. Twelve (2.3%) of the 516 sample pools were positive for avian influenza virus RNA, 2 of which were subtyped as H4N6 viruses. This is the first report of avian influenza virus in wild birds in Kenya. This study demonstrates the success of this approach in detecting avian influenza virus in wild birds and represents an efficient surveillance system for avian influenza virus in regions with limited resources.

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.

Strength comparisons are often made between the patient's injured and uninjured shoulders, with the uninjured side used as a reference without regard to upper extremity dominance. Despite the importance of strength measurements, little is known about expected normal baselines of the uninjured shoulder. The purpose of this study was to report normative values for isometric shoulder strength for physically active college-age men and women without history of shoulder injury.Methods:University students-546 males (18.8 plus or minus 1.0 years, 75.3 plus or minus 12.2 kg) and 73 females (18.7 plus or minus 0.9 years, 62.6 plus or minus 7.0 kg)-underwent thorough shoulder evaluations by an orthopaedic surgeon and completed bilateral isometric strength measurements with a handheld dynamometer. Variables measured included internal rotation, external rotation, abduction, supine internal rotation and external rotation at 45 degree , and lower trapezius in prone flexion.Results:Significant differences were found between the dominant and nondominant shoulder for internal rotation, internal rotation at 45 degree , abduction, and prone flexion in males and in internal rotation at 45 degree and prone flexion for females (P less than or equal to 0.01).

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.

Elementary modeling is used to estimate the probability distribution of land elevations at time of failure for 36 of these subsided islands, assuming a reasonable potential subsidence reversal rate. Given estimated annual probabilities of levee failure, elevation gains at this rate are not expected to exceed 1 to 2 m before flooding, which would be insufficient to restore most subsided islands to mean sea level (msl). However, under some circumstances 1- to 2-m gains are significant. A framework is introduced for evaluating islands as promising candidates for subsidence reversal based on elevation goals other than msl, as demonstrated though a hypothetical aquatic habitat example. Here, we recommend relevant subsidence reversal strategies by comparing an elevation goal with each island's anticipated flooded depth, and we prioritize islands for investment based on trade-offs between anticipated outcome and lost agricultural revenues. This approach might help integrate subsidence-reversal activities into long-term Delta planning under a range of flooding, land use, and habitat management scenarios.

This project is part of a wide scale effort to improve spatial resolution of current permafrost extent estimates which will be used as input for future permafrost change modeling. Seven profiles were collected at five different locations using either dipole-dipole or wenner setups. Data was inverted using RES2DINV with RTK GPS for surface topography correction using either a distorted finite-element grid with damped distortion or uniform distortion. In general, higher resistivity is interpreted as permafrost with thicknesses ranging between 0-15 m in most places and beginning within 1-3 m of the surface. In some regions, permafrost extends outside the maximum depth range of the resistivity surveys. High resolution (1 m) World View imagery was obtained over portions of the study site and unsupervised k-means classification was performed with 25 classes. The classification was based on a pre-existing 30-m resolution vegetation classification of Alaska. Only two transects, labeled TF50 and TF70 were in the range of the imagery. However, there appears to be good qualitative correspondence of vegetation cover type to permafrost depth and extent. Namely, thicker permafrost is generally covered by thicker vegetation cover and depth to the top of permafrost is generally minimal (1-2 m) in the same regions. Efforts to expand this comparison are ongoing and include borehole logging and field vegetation mapping, for ground truth.

Work in Sections 19-20, T30S, R40E of the Johannesburg 7.5 minute quadrangle is ongoing to deduce the mechanisms, extent and timing of fault displacements, and to better understand the regional geologic context. A GPS receiver refined the location of previously mapped geologic contacts and facilitated precise positioning of new outcrop observations and structural measurements. The RTC consists of four tectonic plates separated by low angle faults. All plates are well exposed within the map area along the S-dipping flank of an E-trending antiform. The deepest unit is Rand Schist (Plate 1): greenschist facies metagraywacke, metachert and metabasalt. Plate 1 is structurally overlain by Johannesburg Gneiss (Plate 2): garnet-amphibolite grade granitic and dioritic orthogneiss, marble and calcsilicate. A Late Cretaceous (87 Ma) hornblende-biotite-sphene granodiorite (Plate 3; Atolia Granodiorite) is sandwiched between Plate 2 and structurally higher biotite alkali granite (Plate 4). The basal contact of Plate 4 is marked by a qtz-rich ultramylonite zone that locally truncates fault contacts between the lower plates. Structural data collected from mylonitic and brittle fault fabrics documents multiple movements that post-date metamorphism of Rand Schist at approximately 80 Ma. The earliest shearing episode records transport of Plate 3 over Plate 1 with intervening Plate 2 retrograded to greenschist facies and mylonitized to produce NW-trending lineation. A later ductile shearing episode is recorded by shallow NE-dipping mylonites of Plate 4 that display consistently oriented lineation with associated microstructures and asymmetric folds indicating top-to-the-NNE shear. Younger brittle structures that crosscut these low-angle faults include a ENE-dipping normal fault associated with quartz breccia and limonitic striations and two WNW-dipping sinistral-oblique normal faults that displace the west end of the RTC and cause significant CW rotation of older lineations. The observed crosscutting structural pattern is consistent with elements of Mojave Desert tectonic history: Late Cretaceous crustal shortening, Miocene extension, then Late Cenozoic left-lateral faulting likely associated with the Garlock fault.

The system integrates digital terrain data and a flexible physical model with GRASS GIS-based analysis and simulation tools. The physical model can be modified by hand and scanned to create digital representations of altered landscapes within a GIS. The results of topographic analysis and GIS-based simulations applied to the modified landscape are then projected over the physical model, providing the users with feedback about the impact of the changes on the terrain parameters or modeled processes. The new prototype system replaced the costly laboratory laser scanner with a Kinect-based solution, making the system affordable, lighter and more flexible, while providing adequate accuracy and scanning speed. Advances in 3D printing and new modeling materials extended the techniques for building the physical models from a carved foam with plasticine surface to 3D printing or moulding from polymer-enriched sand for rapid 3D sketching. We demonstrate the system applications for analysis of terrain change impacts on selected processes in natural and engineered landscapes, and for testing simulation algorithms in various landscape configurations. The examples include overland water and sediment transport patterns modeled by standard flowrouting and unit stream power based method and by a robust particle sampling algorithm. Coastal terrain inundation and dynamics of solar irradiation under changing topographic conditions is also explored. The demonstration examples highlight the TanGeoMS application for collaborative explorations, communication of terrain change impacts and testing of algorithms for dynamic land surface process simulations.

Contained within the pit is an active lava lake whose level fluctuates with changes in the summit magma reservoir and associated plumbing system. Quantifying the pit's topographical changes has been difficult due to the technical limitations of previous sensors and data processing, and the presence of a thick gas and ash plume that interferes with the emitted pulse and hampers the use of single-return LiDAR systems. In recent years, advancements in ground-based LiDAR scanners have enhanced our ability to capture topographic data in a diversity of volcanic settings at the highest spatial and temporal resolutions possible. Moreover, advancements in waveform digitization have significantly improved the acquisition of dense topographic data in environments where gas emissions have historically hampered efforts. Using LiDAR scanning, we developed a methodology that allows for the rapid and accurate measurement of the geometry of the Overlook pit and its lava lake during biannual LiDAR surveys throughout 2012 and 2013. Our research focuses on developing a methodology for quantifying volumetric changes between survey dates that is capable of differentiating between areas of fresh rock and tephra accretion and volume loss from the pit walls. Previously available methods for change detection capture only the net volume difference, whereas our approach allows us to successfully delineate both loss and gain. Though this study focuses on a cylindrical pit, our methodology may be applied in a variety of complex landscapes for rapid acquisition and processing of LiDAR data to monitor hazardous areas and identify topographical change.

The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase included laboratory tests on 11 WMA technologies. The tests in Phase 2 were performed on three WMA mixtures and one hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixture produced in an asphalt plant. The evaluation included performance tests to assess WMA susceptibility to permanent deformation and moisture damage compared with that of HMA produced with the same aggregate blend. Test results indicated that WMA potentially was a viable product for surface mixtures on airfield pavements. Although WMA exhibited poorer performance than HMA in moisture damage tests on laboratory-produced specimens, the plant-produced mix indicated little difference compared with HMA. Rutting potential for WMA was somewhat greater than for HMA for mixtures produced both in the laboratory and in an asphalt plant according to asphalt pavement analyzer and Hamburg wheel tracking tests. Differences in performance of WMA mixtures were not attributed to a specific WMA technology category. Variations in performance test results between laboratory-produced specimens and plant-produced specimens were noted and indicated a need to require performance testing as part of a comprehensive quality assurance plan.

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.

The notion that multiple phenomena contribute to As release and varying spatial concentrations is a widely accepted theory. This study focuses on As sorption and release mechanisms of sediment fractions within groundwater as well as As bioaccumulation within rice grown in West Bengal, India (Murshidabad district). The result indicates organic matter (OM) in sediments to play an important role As sorption, as well as dominance of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) within these sediments. Extensive extraction of sediments from high and low As areas in Murshidabad indicate residual and Fe-oxyhydroxide fractions to dominate As adsorptions for the high and low As cores. OM-adsorbed As, Fe and Mn were quantified by NaOCl extractions on the sediments. Leftover dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the extracts showed sediment bound organics varying from shallow to deep aquifers within the high As areas. Positive correlations were observed between As in groundwater and dissolved Fe/Mn ratios, As and DOC in groundwater, and As and TOC of sediments. ICP-OES analyses of extracted, sediment-bound organic carbon indicates As concentrations up to 188 mu g/L. Rice samples (n=14) collected from high and low As areas were de-husked, dried, ground and digested via microwave (MARSXpress, CEM, NC). IC-ICP-DRC-MS analyses show a diverse range of As uptake by rice grains (long+slender and short+stalky) cultivated in both dry and wet seasons. Analyses on locally purchased rice varieties (n=10) were conducted as well. A 2012 Consumer Reports study of rice varieties (n=32) obtained within the USA revealed total inorganic As [As(III+V)] levels as high as 214 ug/L. Availability of water with safe As levels is less common in the more abundant shallow (<40 m) aquifers characteristic of OM-rich Holocene sediment compared to deeper aquifers with higher oxidized older Pleistocene sediment and little-no OM (Datta et al., 2011). Inhabitants exposed to As-contaminated water are susceptible to arsenicosis, severe skin lesions and terminal illnesses such as cancers of internal organs and respiratory diseases. Exposure to As through water and rice continue to threaten the health of tens of millions within the region.

Ground-penetrating radar profiles were collected perpendicular to the long axis of the Schmidt Hills and the margin of Foundation Ice Stream (FIS). Within the valley confines, the glacier consists of blue ice, and profiles show internal stratigraphy dipping steeply toward the nunataks and truncated at the present-day ablation surface. Below the valley confines, the blue ice is overlain by firn. Data show that upward-progressing overlap of actively accumulating firn onto valley-glacier ice is slightly less than ice flow out of the valleys over the past approximately 1200 years. The apparent slightly negative mass balance (-0.25 cm a (super -1) ) suggests that ice-margin elevations in the Schmidt Hills may have lowered over this time period, even without a change in the surface elevation of FIS. Results suggest that (1) mass-balance gradients between local valley glaciers and regional ice sheets should be considered when using local information to estimate regional ice surface elevation changes; and (2) interpretation of shallow ice structures imaged with radar can provide information about local ice elevation changes and stability.

Objectives were to develop specifications for improved hot-applied, jet fuel-resistant (JFR) and non-jet fuel-resistant (non-JFR) sealants and to determine the impact of installation configuration on field performance. The laboratory phase identified desired sealant properties, evaluated sealants for those properties, and developed sealants with improved low-temperature and aging properties. The field phase was installed in June 1991 at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, to determine performance of developed sealants compared with standard sealants and to determine whether performance could be improved by changing installation geometry. Thirteen sealants were installed. The field study documented installation and evaluations at 6 and 12 months. After study completion, the installations were monitored several additional times. Detailed papers were prepared after 5 and 10 years. At 10 years, some sealants had greater than a 10-year life. In 2011, the installations reached 20 years of age. The JFR sections had been replaced, and non-JFR sections were still intact and were evaluated in April 2012. Results of the 21-year evaluation are presented. One silicone sealant and the improved non-JFR sealant achieved a 21-year life. Results also show that the flush-fill installation geometry increased life of the hot-applied asphalt sealants by more than 50% compared with the standard recessed configuration and should be considered for joint sealant installations.

Method: We surveyed the majority of Army behavioral health providers (n=2,310); surveys were obtained from 543 (26%). These clinicians reported clinical data on a total sample of 399 service member patients. Of these patients, 110 (28%) had a reported PTSD diagnosis. Data were weighted to account for sampling design and nonresponses. Results: Army providers reported 86% of patients with PTSD received evidence-based psychotherapy (EBP) for PTSD. As formal training hours in EBPs increased, reported use of EBPs significantly increased. Although EBPs for PTSD were reported to be widely used, clinicians who deliver EBP frequently reported not adhering to all core procedures recommended in treatment manuals; less than half reported using all the manualized core EBP techniques. Conclusions: Further research is necessary to understand why clinicians modify EBP treatments, and what impact this has on treatment outcomes. More data regarding the implications for treatment effectiveness and the role of clinical context, patient preferences, and clinical decision-making in adapting EBPs could help inform training efforts and the ways that these treatments may be better adapted for the military.

We captured, measured (23 metrics), and tagged the fish. After it had spent a week at large on the floodway, we recaptured and released it back into the Mississippi River. The specimen was re-captured eight months later in northern Mississippi, 627 km upriver from where it was released. Distance traveled and water velocities in the river indicate that the fish was traveling at least 90-197 cm/s for prolonged periods, equivalent to gross speeds of 77-170 km/d. This incident suggests that a large entrained fish, trapped for several days in a hyperthermic and hypoxic habitat, can be viable when returned to the river.

The Korean Paleozoic, as a part of Sino-Korean sedimentary system, are mostly distributed in two relatively large sedimentary basins, the Taebaeksan and Pyeongnam basins, and consist of lower and upper Paleozoic strata with a great unconformity between them. The unconformity period is conventionally thought to be of non-deposition, but the cause of the unconformity is still ambiguous. The Oknyobong Formation (OFm), consisting of volcanoclastics, tuffs, basalt and rhyolite, overlies Cambro-Ordovician strata in Taebaeksan basin. It was considered to be Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous stratum, based on incorrect age data. In this study we reported SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages and geochemical data for the volcanic rocks from the OFm. SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages of 452.5 + or - 3.2 (2s) Ma and 445.0 + or - 3.7 (2s) Ma were obtained from two felsic volcanics, indicating that the OFm is of Upper Ordovician in age. Petrological and geochemical features suggest that the OFm extruded at the within-plate tectonic environment. The Upper Ordovician within-plate volcanic activity, confirmed by the OFm, is coeval well with the Ordovician ( approximately 470 Ma) kimberlite volcanism in SKB, suggestive of regional lithospheric uplift at that time. Therefore epeirogenic uplift from mantle plumes (or hotspot epeirogeny) is suggested as a possible cause of the regional development of middle Paleozoic unconformity in SKB.

Between these seasons is the spring freshet, a dramatic two to three week period when up to three quarters of the yearly precipitation runs off. The summer to winter transition is far less remarkable as temperatures and light slowly decrease until winter arrives. The intense seasonality and transitions in Arctic rivers are associated with unique biogeochemical signatures, a landscape scale "view" of vegetation, soil, weathering, and water column processes. Discerning sources or fluxes of compounds out of Arctic rivers is difficult in large rivers because they represent the combined effect of innumerable plot-scale melt water sources, each coming from different soil and vegetation types, each experiencing a slightly different melt timing and evolution, and each following its own timing. Work at Arctic sites typically means field work in remote locations with sparse ancillary data and this provides added challenges. Spring melt is characterized by an ionic pulse of solutes, dissolved organic carbon and other nutrients (ammonium, phosphate and nitrate) leached by snow melt water from the surface organic mat of vegetation and near-surface soil. Summer and fall flows are comprised largely of shallow flow from a deepening seasonally thawed ("active") layer. During late summer with an expanded active layer or at sites where permafrost is degrading these processes may be associated with an increasing mineral weathering signal into watersheds. The watershed biogeochemical response to precipitation in continuous and discontinuous terrains may also yield insight into subsurface permafrost geomorphological characteristics. Winter processes are the least studied or understood but overflow ice ("aufeis") provides access to deep, old waters. This presentation will focus on using water stable isotopes, major ion concentrations, and permafrost delineation to identify biogeochemical sources in watersheds draining continuous and discontinuous permafrost. Field sites represent permafrost terrains in Alaska from the North Slope to the Interior. Biogeochemical processes associated with scaling, meteorology, and climate warming will be discussed.

Here we discuss a small cold glacier that contains buried crevasses at and near an ice divide. Surface-conformable stratigraphy, the glacier's small size, and cold temperatures argue for limited rheological variability at this site. Surface ice-flow velocities of (1.2-15.5)+ or -0.472 m a (super -1) imply classic saddle flow surrounding the ice divide. Numerical models that incorporate field-observed boundary conditions suggest extensional strain rates of 0.003-0.015 a (super -1) , which fall within the published estimates required for crevasse initiation. The occurrence of one crevasse beginning at 50 m depth that appears to penetrate close to the bed suggests that it formed at depth. Field data and numerical models indicate that a higher interior stress at this crevasse location may be associated with steep convex bed topography; however, the dynamics that caused its formation are not entirely clear.

The fine-grained nature of the alluvial matrix creates a highly heterogeneous environment, which adds to the difficulty of characterizing the flow of groundwater and the fate of aqueous constituents of concern. The analysis of the groundwater geochemical data collected in October 2009 provides evidence that is used to identify four groundwater flow paths and their extent in the aquifer and indicates the dominant attenuation processes for the constituents of concern. The extent and interaction of groundwater flow paths were delineated by the major ion concentrations and their relations to each other. Four areas of groundwater recharge to the study area were identified based on groundwater elevations, hydrogeologic characteristics, and geochemical and isotopic evidence. One source of recharge enters the study area from the saturated alluvial deposits underlying the South Fork of the Puerco River to the north of the study area. A second source of recharge is shown to originate from a leaky cistern containing production water from the San Andres-Glorieta Aquifer. The other two sources of recharge are shown to enter the study area from the south: one from an arroyo valley draining an area to the south and one from hill-front recharge that passes under the reported release of perchlorate and explosive constituents. The spatial extent and interaction of groundwater originating from these various sources along identified flow paths affect the persistence and attenuation of constituents of concern. It was determined that groundwater originating in the area of a former explosives' wash-out operation and an accidental spill of perchlorate was spatially limited, and that dilution is the primary attenuation process for these constituents. The explosive concentrations of the nitramine 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and the oxidizer perchlorate both support that determination. Unlike RDX and perchlorate, there were no detectable concentrations of trinitrotoluene (TNT) in the aquifer. Based on the chemical nature of TNT and the redox conditions found in the aquifer, it is interpreted that TNT is lost to irreversible sorption and aerobic degradation. Nitrate was ubiquitous in the alluvial groundwater in October 2009. The nitrate concentrations in wells associated with the explosives' groundwater flow path indicate attenuation primarily through dilution, similar to that of RDX. The origin of nitrate concentrations in the wells located in the Administration Area is uncertain but may have resulted from the leakage of aging clay sewage pipes that service most of the structures within that area or as a relic of a former hydrologic regime in which water from the washout operation migrated across a broader area. Sufficient data do not exist to definitively identify the location(s) of water discharge in this area, but transpiration from near the Administration Area is supported by the geochemical concentrations.

This article explores the online clash between the hacker group, Anonymous, and the Mexican drug cartel, Los Zetas. This type of cyberwar was unique: it was an incident where two clandestine non-state groups used the digital domain to attack each other and it was largely a private affair. Yet the incident had public consequences that left the Mexican government as a bystander. Such criminal activity beyond the reach of government intervention blurs the line between public safety and national security. Adapted from the source document.

Despite treatment, chronic infection often develops which is associated with increased rates of treatment failure, delayed osseous-union, and extremity amputation. Within affected bone, bacteria exist as biofilms, however the impact of biofilms on osteoblasts during disease are unknown. Herein, we evaluated the effect of S. aureus biofilms on osteoblast viability, osteogenic potential, and the expression of the pro-osteoclast factor, receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANK-L). Methods: Osteoblasts were exposed to biofilm conditioned media (BCM) from clinical wound isolates of Staphylococcus aureus under normal growth and osteogenic conditions to assess cellular viability and osteoblast differentiation, respectively. Cell viability was evaluated using a live/dead assay and by quantifying total cellular DNA at days 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7. Apoptosis following treatment with BCM was measured by flow-cytometry using the annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis kit. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed by measuring alkaline phosphatase activity and intracellular accumulation of calcium and osteocalcin for up to 21 days following exposure to BCM. Expression of genes involved in osteogenic differentiation and osteoclast regulation, were also evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR. Results: BCM from clinical strains of S. aureus reduced osteoblast viability which was accompanied by an increase in apoptosis. Osteogenic differentiation was significantly inhibited following treatment with BCM as indicated by decreased alkaline phosphatase activity, decreased intracellular accumulation of calcium and inorganic phosphate, as well as reduced expression of transcription factors and genes involved in bone mineralization in viable cells. Importantly, exposure of osteoblasts to BCM resulted in up-regulated expression of RANK-L and increase in the RANK-L/OPG ratio compared to the untreated controls. Conclusions: Together these studies suggest that soluble factors produced by S. aureus biofilms may contribute to bone loss during chronic osteomyelitis simultaneously by: (1) reducing osteoblast viability and osteogenic potential thereby limiting new bone growth and (2) promoting bone resorption through increased expression of RANK-L by osteoblasts. To our knowledge these are the first studies to demonstrate the impact of staphylococcal biofilms on osteoblast function, and provide an enhanced understanding of the pathogenic role of staphylococcal biofilms during osteomyelitis.

A systematic vector surveillance programme spanning 5 years and covering 11 sites representing seven of the eight provinces in Kenya and located in diverse ecological zones was carried out. Methods: Mosquitoes were sampled bi-annually during the wet seasons and screened for arboviruses. Mosquitoes were identified to species, pooled by species, collection date and site and screened for arboviruses by isolation in cell culture and/or RT-PCR screening and sequencing. Results: Over 450,000 mosquitoes in 15,890 pools were screened with 83 viruses being detected/isolated that include members of the alphavirus, flavivirus and orthobunyavirus genera many of which are known to be of significant public health importance in the East African region. These include West Nile, Ndumu, Sindbis, Bunyamwera, Pongola and Usutu viruses detected from diverse sites. Ngari virus, which was associated with hemorrhagic fever in northern Kenya in 1997/98 was isolated from a pool of Anopheles funestus sampled from Tana-delta and from Aedes mcintoshi from Garissa. Insect only flaviviruses previously undescribed in Kenya were also isolated in the coastal site of Rabai. A flavivirus most closely related to the Chaoyang virus, a new virus recently identified in China and two isolates closely related to Quang Binh virus previously unreported in Kenya were also detected. Conclusion: Active transmission of arboviruses of public health significance continues in various parts of the country with possible undetermined human impact. Arbovirus activity was highest in the pastoralist dominated semi-arid to arid zones sites of the country where 49% of the viruses were isolated suggesting a role of animals as amplifiers and indicating the need for improved arbovirus disease diagnosis among pastoral communities.

DO - http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1743-422X-10-140 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Reconstituting protein interaction networks using parameter-dependent domain-domain interactions AN - 1367488950; 18076857 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.

Accurate identification of the infecting Plasmodium species relies on detailed examination of parasite morphological characteristics, such as size, shape, pigment granules, besides the size and shape of the parasitized red blood cells and presence of cell inclusions. This work explores misclassifications of four Plasmodium species by conventional microscopy relative to the proficiency of microscopists and morphological characteristics of the parasites on Giemsa-stained blood films. Case description: Ten-day malaria microscopy remedial courses on parasite detection, species identification and parasite counting were conducted for public health and research laboratory personnel. Proficiency in species identification was assessed at the start (pre) and the end (post) of each course using known blood films of Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium vivax infections with densities ranging from 1,000 to 30,000 parasites/[mu]L. Outcomes were categorized as false negative, positive without speciation, P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, P. vivax and mixed infections. Discussion and evaluation: Reported findings are based on 1,878 P. falciparum, 483 P. malariae, 581 P. ovale and 438 P. vivax cumulative results collated from 2008 to 2010 remedial courses. Pre-training false negative and positive misclassifications without speciation were significantly lower on P. falciparum infections compared to non-falciparum infections (p < 0.0001). Post-training misclassifications decreased significantly compared to pre- training misclassifications which in turn led to significant improvements in the identification of the four species. However, P. falciparum infections were highly misclassified as mixed infections, P. ovale misclassified as P. vivax and P. vivax similarly misclassified as P. ovale (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that the misclassification of malaria species could be a common occurrence especially where non-falciparum infections are involved due to lack of requisite skills in microscopic diagnosis and variations in morphological characteristics within and between Plasmodium species. Remedial training might improve reliability of conventional light microscopy with respect to differentiation of Plasmodium infections.

In the last few decades, work has been done on the antimicrobial properties of copper and its alloys against a range of micro-organisms threatening public health in food processing, healthcare and air conditioning applications; however, an optimum copper method of surface deposition and mass structure has not been identified. Results: A proof-of-concept study of the disinfection effectiveness of three copper surfaces was performed. The surfaces were produced by the deposition of copper using three methods of thermal spray, namely, plasma spray, wire arc spray and cold spray The surfaces were then inoculated with meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). After a two hour exposure to the surfaces, the surviving MRSA were assayed and the results compared. The differences in the copper depositions produced by the three thermal spray methods were examined in order to explain the mechanism that causes the observed differences in MRSA killing efficiencies. The cold spray deposition method was significantly more effective than the other methods. It was determined that work hardening caused by the high velocity particle impacts created by the cold spray technique results in a copper microstructure that enhances ionic diffusion, and copper ions are principally responsible for antimicrobial activity. Conclusions: This test showed significant microbiologic differences between coatings produced by different spray techniques and demonstrates the importance of the copper application technique. The cold spray technique shows superior anti-microbial effectiveness caused by the high impact velocity imparted to the sprayed particles which results in high dislocation density and high ionic diffusivity.

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.

The data obtained indicate that: (1) the virucidal effect of natural sunlight can be mimicked adequately by an artificial light source with similar spectral characteristics in the UVB, (2) viral sensitivity to UVB or to solar radiation can be correlated with experimental data previously obtained with UVC, (3) the correlation factor between virus inactivation by solar radiation (measured at 300 plus or minus 5 nm) and by UVC (254 nm) is between 33 and 60, and (4) the sensitivity of viruses either dry on glass surfaces or in liquid suspension is similar when in the presence of similar amounts of cellular debris and growth media. The findings reported in this study should assist in estimating the threat posed by the persistence of virus during epidemics or after an accidental or intentional release.

The results suggested that disinfection could be caused not only by photochemical changes from UV radiation, but also by photophysical stress damage caused by the disturbance from incoming pulses. The study called for more research in this area. The recent advances in light-emitting diode (LED) technology include the development of LEDs that emit in narrow bands in the ultraviolet-C (UV-C) range (100-280nm), which is highly effective for UV disinfection of organisms. Further, LEDs would use less power, and allow more flexibility than other sources of UV energy in that the user may select various pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs), pulse irradiances, pulse widths, duty cycles and types of waveform output (e.g. square waves, sine waves, triangular waves, etc.). Our study exposed Escherichia coli samples to square pulses of 272nm radiation at various PRFs and duty cycles. A statistically significant correlation was found between E. coli's disinfection sensitivity and these parameters. Although our sample size was small, these results show promise and are worthy of further investigation. Comparisons are also made with pulsed disinfection by LEDs emitting at 365nm, and pulsed disinfection by xenon flash lamps. It has been suggested that cells exposed to pulsed UV radiation can be damaged by the photophysical disturbance of incoming pulses. We investigated this effect by exposing Escherichia coli samples to pulsed 272nm radiation emitted by light emitting diodes (LEDs), at various pulse repetition frequencies and duty cycles. Then, we investigated the parameters for the most time-effective and energy-efficient disinfection, and compared our results with those from other studies.

A management strategy aimed at improving water clarity through reduction of nutrient and solids loads to the bay is under development. The strategy is informed through the use of the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Modeling Package. We describe herein aspects of the model devoted to suspended solids, a major contributor to poor water clarity. Our approach incorporates a dynamic model of inorganic solids into an eutrophication model, in order to account for interactions between physical and biotic factors which influence suspended solids transport and fate. Solids budgets based on the model indicate that internal production of organic solids is the largest source of suspended solids to the mainstem bay. Scenario analysis indicates that control of solids loads reduces solids concentration in the vicinity of the loading sources.

AN - 1273634124; 23323979 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.

We discuss ground-penetrating radar profiles of fractures recorded with 150, 350, 600 and 1000 MHz pulse dominant frequencies, and quantitative data obtained from their horizons and pulse wavelet attributes. We recorded the profiles along dirt roads and bare rock transects, beneath which include the mid Ordovician Oliverian granodiorite and binary granite of western New Hampshire and just north of the Presidential Range, respectively, and the late Devonian biotite granite just west of the Presidential Range. The overriding till is characterized by numerous diffractions, and from 0 to about 5 m thick. We use a known relative dielectric permittivity of 6.6 for granodiorite and assume the same for the other types to calibrate depth from the reflection time scale. Dielectric permittivity values for the till range from about 13-21. The sheet fracture responses are up to 25 m deep while the deepest tectonic fracture horizon extends to at least 35 m depth. Some horizons are associated with numerous diffractions originating along their length, while others have very few. The less clear horizons recorded in seasonal profiles of the binary granite suggest grusification, a possible factor to help explain the greater height of the more durable metamorphic Presidential Range. Sheet fracture spacing can be closer than one meter, with horizons comprised of thin layer responses because the wavelets, even at 1000 MHz, are similar to the transmitted wavelet. Therefore, the fractures are likely less than a few cm thick, as is apparent from quarry wall exposures, and from models that predict that even one mm fractures are detectable. The wavelet phase structure generally indicates a higher dielectric medium, which could mean calcite, and more likely water, but this structure is not consistent along individual horizons. The higher frequency profiles reveal a complex fracture network that appears connected through cross-cutting tectonic fractures. The cm scale of fracture horizon roughness is evident at 1000 MHz.

(2012), we estimate latest Pleistocene/Holocene earthquake-recurrence intervals, propose scenarios for earthquake-rupture segmentation, and estimate potential earthquake moment magnitudes for the Tahoe-Sierra frontal fault zone (TSFFZ), west of Lake Tahoe, California. We have developed a new technique to estimate the vertical separation for the most recent and the previous ground-rupturing earthquakes at five sites along the Echo Peak and Mt. Tallac segments of the TSFFZ. At these sites are fault scarps with two bevels separated by an inflection point (compound fault scarps), indicating that the cumulative vertical separation (VS) across the scarp resulted from two events. This technique, modified from the modeling methods of Howle et al. (2012), uses the far-field plunge of the best-fit footwall vector and the fault-scarp morphology from high-resolution LiDAR profiles to estimate the per-event VS. From this data, we conclude that the adjacent and overlapping Echo Peak and Mt. Tallac segments have ruptured coseismically twice during the Holocene. The right-stepping, en echelon range-front segments of the TSFFZ show progressively greater VS rates and shorter earthquake-recurrence intervals from southeast to northwest. Our preliminary estimates suggest latest Pleistocene/ Holocene earthquake-recurrence intervals of 4.8+ or -0.9X10 (super 3) years for a coseismic rupture of the Echo Peak and Mt. Tallac segments, located at the southeastern end of the TSFFZ. For the Rubicon Peak segment, northwest of the Echo Peak and Mt. Tallac segments, our preliminary estimate of the maximum earthquake-recurrence interval is 2.8+ or -1.0X10 (super 3) years, based on data from two sites. The correspondence between high VS rates and short recurrence intervals suggests that earthquake sequences along the TSFFZ may initiate in the northwest part of the zone and then occur to the southeast with a lower frequency. Utilizing regressions of earthquake moment-magnitude (M (sub W) ) and surface-rupture length from well-characterized historic normal faults by Wells and Coppersmith (1994), coseismic rupture of the range-front sections of the Echo Peak and Mt. Tallac segments would potentially generate an earthquake with M (sub w) ranging from 6.5+ or -0.25 and 6.7+ or -0.25. If the entire mapped length of the Rubicon Peak segment were to rupture, M (sub w) could range from 6.6+ or -0.25 to 6.9+ or -0.25. In a worst-case scenario, where the entire length of the Rubicon Peak fault ruptures coseismically with the Mt. Tallac fault, the potential M (sub w) could range from 6.8+ or -0.25 to 7.0+ or -0.25. Fault scarps along the Mt. Tallac and Rubicon Peak segments differ in morphology, indicating that the Rubicon Peak segment probably did not rupture coseismically during the last ground-rupturing earthquake along the Mt. Tallac segment. On the basis of this qualitative comparison, the estimated timing of the most recent earthquake along the Mt. Tallac segment (4.3+ or -0.7 ka), and the maximum estimate of earthquake recurrence intervals for the Rubicon Peak segment (2.8+ or -1.0X10 (super 3) years), we believe that the Rubicon Peak segment of the TSFFZ is overdue for a ground-rupturing earthquake JF - American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting AU - Howle, J AU - Bawden, G W AU - Schweickert, R A AU - Hunter, L E AU - Rose, R AU - Anonymous Y1 - 2012/12// PY - 2012 DA - December 2012 SP - Abstract NH31C EP - 1611 PB - American Geophysical Union, Washington, DC VL - 2012 KW - 22:Environmental geology UR - http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/1645570934?accountid=14244 L2 - http://vb3lk7eb4t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQ%3Ageorefmodule&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=American+Geophysical+Union+Fall+Meeting&rft.atitle=Preliminary+results+on+earthquake+recurrence+intervals%2C+rupture+segmentation%2C+and+potential+earthquake+moment+magnitudes+along+the+Tahoe-Sierra+frontal+fault+zone%2C+Lake+Tahoe%2C+California&rft.au=Howle%2C+J%3BBawden%2C+G+W%3BSchweickert%2C+R+A%3BHunter%2C+L+E%3BRose%2C+R%3BAnonymous&rft.aulast=Howle&rft.aufirst=J&rft.date=2012-12-01&rft.volume=2012&rft.issue=&rft.spage=&rft.isbn=&rft.btitle=&rft.title=American+Geophysical+Union+Fall+Meeting&rft.issn=&rft_id=info:doi/ LA - English DB - GeoRef N1 - Conference title - American Geophysical Union 2012 fall meeting N1 - Copyright - GeoRef, Copyright 2015, American Geosciences Institute.

Field validation of models is often restricted to analyzing elevation change between surveys conducted "pre" and "post" storm, but lack the hydrodynamic and morphologic data throughout the duration of the storm event needed to assess the modeled physical processes. Even fewer data sets exist that provide continuous observations during quiescent time periods (weeks-months) when much of the beach is re-built after storms. Using an automated terrestrial laser scanner mounted in the dune at the Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, NC, we collected hourly 20-minute measurements of the elevation of the beach and inner surf-zone free-surface profile. These data enable simultaneous analysis of foreshore morphologic evolution, wave runup, and inner-surf zone wave and water level characteristics. The laser data is collected along a narrow profile in line with the FRF's cross-shore array of wave gauges which provide observations in 2-23m of water depth. Roughly 700 hours of semi-continuous laser observations from 26 Aug through 29 Sep 2011 (including the landfall of Hurricane Irene and offshore swell from Hurricane Katia and Tropical Storm Maria), and from 26 Oct through 13 Nov 2011 (during the arrival of multiple Nor'Easters), are used to analyze wave runup statistics and beach morphology change and are compared to model predictions from XBeach. Initial analysis of observational data revealed a strong tidal signal in de-tided runup statistics, such that the 2% exceedence runup elevation and mean swash elevation is higher at high tide than at low tide for a given wave condition. This was similar to the significant incident band wave height (HsIN) at the base of the foreshore (defined as the 98% exceedence elevation), which also showed a strong tidal dependence. Our results suggest that particularly during quiescent time periods, mean swash elevation (setup) and incident band swash scale best with HsIN, though correlations are slightly improved when beach foreshore slope is included (r (super 2) = 0.74 vs 0.71). These data suggest that increased or decreased breaking over the sandbar at low and high tides respectively may filter the amount of energy left in the incident band to be transferred to runup at the shoreline. Observed incident and infragravity band swash and wave statistics from the laser and nearshore wave gauges will be compared to modeled hydrodynamics from XBeach. Assessments of the modeled physics are performed during quiescent and storm time periods and we focus on the role that under/overpredicting these hydrodynamic quantities has in making accurate predictions of profile change.

Roads, parking lots, roof tops and other impervious areas increase total runoff production. Soils are extensively modified through compaction and importation of fill and placement of sod. Streams are modified, moved, and replaced with lined channels, further increasing runoff and storm peaks. Subsurface drainage may supplement or supplant the function of natural streams, compounding the effects of channel modifications. Increased runoff results in increased erosion and transport of sediment and associated contaminants. Efforts to mitigate the effects of urbanization, channel improvements, levees, low impact development, detention basins, grassed swales, and other best management practices further complicate the issue. These attempts may or may not affect the overall system response as anticipated or desired. Analysis of the effects of urbanizing watersheds and design of abatement measures using simplified empirical methods and/or analyzing only the local effects may produce erroneous results. In this paper we will present and discuss simulation results from various studies related to the application of models to predicting the effects of urbanizing watersheds. We will contrast physics based hydrologic modeling efforts to simpler, empirical methods. We will also discuss the relative importance of various urbanizing features and modeling strategies to incorporate the important features.

The best way to prevent internal erosion is using adequate granular filters in the transition areas where important hydraulic gradients can appear. In case of cracking and erosion, if the filter is capable of retaining the eroded particles, the crack will seal and the dam safety will be ensured. Numerical modeling has proved to be a cost-effective tool for improving our understanding of physical processes. Traditionally, the consideration of flow and particle transport in porous media has focused on treating the media as continuum. Practical models typically address flow and transport based on the Darcy's law as a function of a pressure gradient and a medium-dependent permeability parameter. Additional macroscopic constitutes describe porosity, and permeability changes during the migration of a suspension through porous media. However, most of them rely on empirical correlations, which often need to be recalibrated for each application. Grain-scale modeling can be used to gain insight into scale dependence of continuum macroscale parameters. A finite element numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow together with Lagrange multiplier technique for solid particles was applied to the simulation of soil filtration in the filter layers of gravity dam. The numerical approach was validated through comparison of numerical simulations with the experimental results of base soil particle clogging in the filter layers performed at ERDC. The numerical simulation correctly predicted flow and pressure decay due to particle clogging. The base soil particle distribution was almost identical to those measured in the laboratory experiment. It is believed that the agreement between simulations and experimental data demonstrates the applicability of the proposed approach for prediction of the soil transport and clogging in embankment dams. To get more precise understanding of the soil transport in granular filters we investigated sensitivity of particle clogging mechanisms to various aspects such as particle size ration, the amplitude of hydraulic gradient, particle concentration and contact properties. By averaging the results derived from the grain-scale simulations, we investigated how those factors affect the semi-empirical multiphase model parameters in the large-scale simulation tool.

Researchers rely on the accuracy of topography datasets for this purpose, especially in remote areas like Greenland where in situ validation data are difficult to acquire. A number of new remotely-sensed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) have recently become available for Greenland, but a comparative study of their respective quality and suitability for hydrologic modeling has not been undertaken. We examine five such remotely-sensed DEMs acquired for proglacial and supraglacial ablation zones of Greenland, namely (1) WorldView stereo DEMs, (2) NASA GLISTIN-A experimental radar, (3) NASA/IceBridge Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM), (4) Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) DEM, and (5) ASTER DEM. The quality, strengths and weaknesses of these DEMs for GrIS hydrologic modeling is assessed through intercomparison and in situ terrestrial lidar scanning data with precise RTK GPS control. Additionally, gridded bedrock (i.e. NASA/IceBridge Multichannel Coherent Radar Depth Sounder (MCoRDS); Bamber DEMs) and surface topography datasets are combined to create a hydraulic potentiometric surface for hydrologic modeling. Finally, the suitability of these combined topographic products for hydrologic modeling, characterization of GrIS meltwater runoff, and estimating sub- and/or englacial pathways is explored.

Altimeter surveys of ice sheet elevation changes are a common method used to estimate changes in ice volume and mass balance. In-situ validation of CryoSat-2's measurements is key to assessing the satellite's performance. The 2011 Greenland Inland Traverse (GrIT) provides a detailed elevation profile across 1120 km of the Greenland Ice Sheet. We compare GrIT Kinematic GPS elevations to remotely sensed elevation values from CryoSat-2's synthetic aperture interferometric radar altimeter (SIRAL). We examine CryoSat-2 measurement repeatability by comparing "crossover" points from ascending and descending satellite tracks. Overall CryoSat-2 crossover elevations agree, though some repeat measurements differ due to varying surface slope and facies conditions. Comparison of in-situ GPS data along the traverse with CryoSat-2 measured elevations reveals a small but constant vertical offset between GPS and CryoSat-2 elevation measurements. Comparing the mean GPS elevation within a single footprint reduces the offset. Calibrating CryoSat-2 elevations with GPS elevation measurements improves confidence in CryoSat-2 elevation values.

The framework integrates the standard line feature extraction and raster-based statistics with novel volume representation of evolving terrain and defines metrics for quantification of observed change. Within the raster-based approach, the stable core and envelope surfaces are derived by applying per-cell statistics to time series of lidar-based digital elevation models (DEMs). The core and envelope are then used to map the contour displacement range and compute the relative volume intensity graphs that characterize the redistribution of mass in the study area. To fully capture the properties of evolving surfaces in both space and time, a discrete and a continuous space-time cube (STC) approach is introduced. Simple to implement, discrete STC stacks series of DEMs into a voxel model which is then used to derive isosurfaces representing a given contour evolution and to extract space-time crossections that represent evolution of elevation along a given profile. Raster maps representing DEM differences can also be stacked into a voxel model and evolution of change of a given magnitude is then extracted as an isosurface. Continuous STC represents the dynamic surface as a trivariate function where time is the third dimension and elevation is the modeled variable. To compute the continuous STC the time series of point cloud data is merged into a single point cloud that is then interpolated into a voxel model at a desired spatial and temporal resolution. Trivariate regularized smoothing spline with octree-based segmentation is used to compute voxel models of elevation evolution and its first and second order derivatives directly from time series of point cloud data. The resulting voxel models are then used to identify the locations and time of the fastest rate of change, possible acceleration or areas and time intervals of stability. The presented concepts and methods were applied to a 15 year time series of airborne lidar surveys of the North Carolina barrier islands. The analysis of coastal terrain dynamics includes sections of barrier island characterized by different types of landforms, including a beach-foredune system, active back island dune and a cape. Evolution of these landforms has been influenced by wind, wave and storm surge processes creating impacts that are reflected in specific STC-derived isosurface topologies. Terrestrial lidar application is illustrated by analysis of two year monitoring data acquired at a meander bend of an eroding stream in North Carolina Piedmont. The presented STC methodology is simple to implement yet powerful in its ability to condense surface evolution complexity into meaningful information. Furthermore, the methodology is general and can be used with any software that supports 2D and 3D raster data processing, trivariate interpolation, and volume visualization. Our implementation was based on open-source GRASS GIS.

Projections of long-term effects of climate warming on high latitude ecosystems require a representation of soil thermal state and hydrological dynamics. We developed a coupled framework to explicitly model the soil moisture effects of soil thermal conductivity and heat capacity and its effects on hydrological dynamics. Our model is the result of coupling the Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA) model with the Geophysical Institute Permafrost Laboratory (GIPL) model. The model platform can account for the effect of frozen ground on hydrology by infiltration, lateral flows and storage capacity. The GIPL model simulates soil temperature dynamics and the depth of seasonal freezing and thawing by numerically solving a 1-D nonlinear heat equation with phase change. The GSSHA model is a spatially explicit hydrological model that simulates 2-D overland flow, 2-D groundwater flow, and 1-D flow in stream networks. We combined these two models into one framework and tested it using data from Caribou Poker Creek Research Watershed in Interior Alaska. Simulation results reproduce the typical characteristics observed in the watersheds underlain by permafrost, where the reduced storage capacity produces higher peak and lower base flow.

Between 1952 and 1955, Carl Benson led a series of traverses of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS), and characterized the GIS via mapping of the spatial distribution of annual net accumulation and classifying the diagenetic glacier facies (Benson, 1962). While polar ice sheets represent a unique archive of past atmospheric and climatic conditions, little information exists on large-scale geographical trends in trace element snow chemistry across GIS because of the remote, challenging location. In the spring of 2011, we undertook a 1120 km traverse of the GIS from Thule Air Base to Summit Station. Samples from 11 snow pits and 3 firn cores, dated by stable water isotopes, were analyzed and evaluated in seasonal resolution for their trace element content ( (super 23) Na, (super 24) Mg, (super 27) Al, (super 32) S, (super 39) K, (super 44) Ca, (super 47) Ti, (super 51) V, (super 52) Cr, (super 55) Mn, (super 56) Fe, (super 59) Co, (super 63) Cu, (super 66) Zn, (super 75) As, (super 88) Sr, (super 111) Cd, (super 133) Cs, (super 138) Ba, (super 139) La, (super 140) Ce, (super 141) Pr, (super 208) Pb, (super 209) Bi, (super 238) U). Here, we present an initial analysis of the spatial gradients of these trace elements and an interpretation of how their depositional patterns characterize the GIS. The seasonal trends coupled with spatial variability of certain trace elements establish the behavior of specific aerosols (e.g. dust, sea salt, pollution), which will be useful in quantifying geochemical cycling across the GIS and comparing characterizations with results from Benson's traverses.

In situ measurements are able to capture variability over very short time intervals, but with limited spatial coverage. Conversely, airborne and satellite remote sensing is capable of measuring changes over large spatial extents but at a very limited temporal sampling. Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning (TLS) is an emerging glaciological tool which combines the rapid sampling capabilities of in situ measurements with the broad spatial coverage of traditional remote sensing. We are using TLS methods to gain insights into the processes of rapid flow on a large East Greenland outlet glacier. Helheim Glacier is known to move at speeds >25 m/d near its terminus; rapid readjustments in speed are also know to occur following terminus retreat. Our understanding of these processes is limited by incomplete observational datasets. Most TLS instruments operate in the near-infrared spectrum (1550 nm), which greatly limits range (<150 m) and its application as a tool for long-range standoff glaciology. This paper describes recent efforts to develop and deploy a new alternate wavelength (1064 nm) long-range (6-10 km) ground-based full-waveform LiDAR scanner that is optimized for glaciated environments. High spatial and temporal resolution surveys were conducted at Helheim Glacier during the summer of 2012 over a multi-day period. Preliminary results allow us to quantify short-term horizontal and vertical displacement rates at temporal and spatial resolutions previously not possible. Identifying the operational limitations of these sensors in our Helheim Glacier work is a key guide to the optimal design characteristics for new, improved LiDAR instruments for campaign and long-term deployments in glacierized environments.

This process may affect the geochemical composition of surface waters in the Alaskan Arctic, which is controlled by a variety of factors, including permafrost thickness, depth of the active layer, and the composition of underlying soils. Determining watershed system responses to a changing climate relies heavily on understanding seasonal controls on freshwater processes in the Arctic. The majority of studies on elemental concentrations in Arctic river systems have focused on sampling only from spring snowmelt to the summer season. Consequently, there remains a limited understanding of trace metal transport and behavior during late fall and early winter. In this study we investigated the seasonality of trace metal geochemistry in two high Arctic watersheds by measuring Fe, Mn, Al, and Ba concentrations in surface waters collected from spring melt to fall freeze-up, as well as major and trace element concentrations and mineral phases in a soil core collected from one of the watersheds. Our overall goal is to identify seasonal variability in trace metal flux to surface waters in the Arctic, characterize the bulk solid and aqueous phase chemical composition on a watershed scale, and relate soil and soil pore water chemistry to measured surface water concentrations. We also monitored soil temperatures as a function of depth to identify the permafrost soil thermal regime over time and to track active layer thawing as a potential late season source of trace elements to surface waters. Concentrations of dissolved Fe, Al and Mn in Imnavait Creek watershed and dissolved Ba in Roche Mountanee watershed were highest in late fall/early winter suggesting there is a signature weathering response related to the thawing of the lowest portion of the active layer. This inference is based on analysis of trace metal concentrations within the active layer as well as deposited deeper within the permafrost table. These results further suggest that potential increases in air temperatures that extend active layer thaw into previously frozen material will be evident through an increase in dissolved concentrations of trace metals in surface waters late in the season.

The OHWM is defined in the Clean Water Act as "that line on the shore established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as a clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, the presence of litter and debris, or other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas". This working definition can be highly problematic where OHWM indicators are unclear or contradictory and can lead to multiple interpretations and inconsistency in delineation at a given location. A rigorous and repeatable approach to OHWM delineation is needed, and an effort to standardize the field methods for doing so is currently under way by the U.S. Army Corps. Attempts to correlate OHW with flow recurrence indicate that substantial variability exists in the temporal component of OHW. Likewise, flow indicators such as drift or debris have been shown to be misleading with respect to OHWM delineation. Early studies suggest that the most accurate and repeatable description of OHW is in terms of the geomorphically effective flow event--that with a low to moderate frequency of occurrence and which gives the channel its average appearance. Further investigation and field sampling is needed, however, to accurately characterize the variability in OHWM indicators both along a given stream and between different streams.

The objective of this work was to identify depth and extent of the active layer, permafrost, and shallow geology. We collected 100-400 MHz ground-penetrating radar (GPR) profiles in the summer and spring of 2011-2012 across three vegetation regimes, bordering two small lakes, and near inactive flow channels of the Yukon River, Alaska. From these data we seek to infer controls on groundwater/surface water interaction and utilize the baseline information as means of assessing future change with projected warming. The elevation range of the study region is < 20 meters. Vegetation is characterized by black spruce transitioning into aspen, low growth shrubs, and grasses with increasing proximity to current or recent water bodies. Shallow sediment cores (1-3 m deep) revealed mixtures of silt, gravel, and sandy lenses, with each unit ranging from 10-50 cm in thickness. Shallow (< or = 2 m) ground truth pits exposed these units to be sub-horizontal to steeply dipping, laterally intermittent, yet commonly in sequence throughout the study region. Frost probing and coring in the summer suggested a water table between 1-2 m depth at lower elevation sites whereas cores extracted from the higher elevation sites did not reach the water table. A discontinuous frozen layer mostly confined within a 20-50 cm thick organic silt-rich layer was also extracted from sediment cores in the low grassland/shrub brush at approximately 1 m depth. Thawed material below this frozen unit varied from saturated clay to gravel. Maximum depth of penetration for the 400 MHz GPR antenna ranged between 1-3 m whereas the 100 MHz antenna reached < or = 30 m depth. Regions with shallower penetration depths are interpreted as thaw zones exhibiting high silt of free water content which causes high signal attenuation via volume scattering. Permittivity values were calculated at 5 to 26 in drier and wetter regions, respectively, which fall within values recorded in similar studies. The 400 MHz data reveal shallow (0-2 m depth) dipping and discontinuous reflectors in the low lying regions, which we interpret as prograding sand, silt, and clay layers resulting from channel migration and infill. Sub-horizontal and relatively continuous reflectors within GPR profiles are interpreted as either the water table, permafrost, or the discontinuous shallow frozen unit prevalent in many of the ground truth data; exact interpretation depends on the GPR signal phase change at each horizon. Maximum penetration occurred within the black spruce regions where we expect permafrost thicknesses to be greatest. Unfortunately, direct wave interference makes it difficult to distinguish the top of permafrost using the 100 MHz data. Shallow and deep water flow is likely minimal beneath the black spruce due to extensive permafrost. However, we interpret the localized thin frozen layer as indication of seasonal ice within the shrub and grasslands; this layer may exhibit more localized control on surface and shallow water flow in the future as vegetation succession continues.

AN - 1623265467; 2014-090336 AB - In the Antarctic Dry Valleys, what might seem to be a permafrost periglacial feature such as a moraine, may actually be a dirt-rich or dirt-covered glacial structure. We discuss ground-penetrating radar (GPR) profiles we recorded along transects over the deeply frozen deposits of Hjorth Hill in Eastern Taylor Valley, Antarctica, overlooking the Ross Sea. The dirt-covered surface, uneven topography, and proximity to the nearby Wilson Piedmont Glacier and to the long receded Ross Sea Ice Sheet (RSIS), suggest the confluence of several glacial moraines and therefore, a permafrost feature. A few borehole logs up to 14 m depth reveal the nature and age of a few important horizons. Instead of a more random and partially or unstratified morainal structure, our 100 and 200 MHz profiles are well stratified, the major events of which are piece-wise continuous layers of ice 1-2 m thick and extending at least hundreds of meters. Bubbles within some of this ice suggest a lake-type origin. Although one log shows that a 9 m layer between these ice horizons is only about 22 percent ice by volume and not visibly stratified, thereby making this layer appear as an embedded permafrost feature, in the profiles the layers often appear relatively transparent, which suggests greater ice content at other locations and a glacial origin. In addition, and stratification within some of the ice within the cores appears basal (glacial) in origin. The relative dielectric permittivity for the whole section is near 5, as expected for ice and felsic mineralogy. Most C14 dates within the core range from 10000-12000 years BP. Wavelet phase structures suggest that the long horizons deeper than the cores are also responses to ice layers and that they are less thick than the insitu wavelength of about 2 m. The more detailed 400 MHz profiles show that material within 10 m of the surface appears be mainly ice with suspended clasts. Maximum penetration achieved within our time range was about 45 m within which there is good evidence for a deepest, bedrock horizon. We interpret this structure to represent layers of flooding overriding dirt-rich basal ice at the edge of the RSIS of the late Wisconsin, and therefore to represent multiple advances of the RSIS, each time fronted by a proglacial lake. The amount of ice suggests that some of the surface topography was formed by differential erosion caused by ice sublimation.

While many point measurements of accumulation exist from shallow and deep ice cores, there are few spatially extensive and continuous records of accumulation in Greenland, particularly in the northwest quadrant. In April and May 2011, the Greenland Inland Traverse traveled via tractor train from Thule Air Base in northwest Greenland to Summit Station, at the center of the ice sheet. The science team on the traverse collected both point and profile measurements along the route. Kinematic GPS and 400 MHz GPR profiles provide geolocated subsurface stratigraphy. Density measurements from snowpits and shallow cores on the profile allow us to determine the true depth of radar reflecting horizons, commonly interpreted to be isochrons. We use three ice cores collected at the beginning, the end, and roughly the middle of the route to date horizons. We traced strong reflecting horizons along the entire route. From the combination of dated, traced horizons, density measurements, and position measurements, we determine accumulation rates continuously along the traverse route. We find our traverse route begins in a high-accumulation area, and accumulation decreases as we cross to the east side of the summit ridge. Accumulation then climbs again as we approach summit (directly on the summit ridge). We compare our accumulation rates with previous studies, both measurements (traverse and point measurements) and models.

Recent dataset and modeling developments permit relatively high-resolution (1-km horizontal grid; 3-h time step) GIC estimates for 1979 through present. Using MicroMet and SnowModel in conjunction with land cover (the Randolph glacier inventory), topography, and the NASA Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) atmospheric reanalysis data, a distributed and individual GIC dataset was created including air temperature, snow precipitation, winter mass-balance, summer mass-balance, net mass-balance, and freshwater runoff. Regional variability was analyzed to highlight the spatial and temporal variability in mass-balance between GIC in e.g., Alaska, Svalbard, Himalaya, Central Europe, Caucasus, etc., and the GIC contribution to global sea-level rise.

The first approximately 70 miles of the GrIT route are heavily crevassed. These hazardous features are dynamic and must be assessed each year to select a safely navigable traverse route. Since GrIT's initial route assessment in 2007 we have observed increasing sizes and numbers of crevasses/crevasse fields using satellite imagery analysis, field-based ground penetrating radar (GPR) acquisition/analysis, helicopter reconnaissance, and in-situ measurements. The cause of this observed rapid change is yet to be determined. For example, increased crevassing may be attributed to increased flow rates of outlet glaciers, climatological trends, presence of subsurface liquid water, isostatic rebound, or by seismic events. Here we present relationships between observed changes in crevassing along the GrIT route and trends in remotely sensed data, including ice velocity, elevation, and meteorology. Understanding the behavior and timing of past ice dynamics in this region will enable us to better predict future changes, facilitating safe and efficient GrIT route selection and science support. Results of tracking annual crevasses and spatially analyzing available ancillary datasets may yield a better understanding of regional ice dynamics in the determination of mass balance trends.

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers intentionally inundated 500 square kilometers of agricultural floodplain in May of 2011 as an emergency flood control measure. We use pre-flood (2005) and post-flood (2011) high resolution Lidar data to establish the landscape impact of the levee breach on the floodplain. The Lidar DEMs were corrected for flight line errors using a Fourier filtering technique, and then subtracted to obtain a differential DEM of erosion and deposition patterns. We use soil erosion characteristics, AVIRIS remote sensing data, and 2D floodplain modeling to analyze the three components of vulnerability: sensitivity, exposure, and adaptive capacity. HydroSed2D (Liu, Landry and Garcia 2008), a 2D flow model, is implemented to simulate flow depths and speeds, or flood exposure, over the entire floodway, as well as smaller sections at increased resolution using a nested grid. We classify woody vegetation based on AVIRIS remote sensing data, and represent vegetated regions in the model as varied values of the Manning's n coefficient. Soil erodibility, vegetation, topography, and flow characteristics are compared to observed landscape changes within the floodplain. Overall, the floodway showed a remarkable resilience to an extreme flood event. When compared to levee breaches on similar rivers in other floods, the lack of newly deposited sediment is noticeable and likely attributable to the presence of a substantial riparian corridor between the main channel of the Mississippi River and the floodway. Although many meander scars indicating former channels of the Mississippi River are apparent in the topography, only one, known as O'Bryan Ridge, experienced high volumes of erosion and deposition due to the flooding. The vulnerability analysis supports the hypothesis this high impact is due to a combination of vulnerability factors such as high flow speed, few localized patches of vegetation, and high soil erodibility at this ridge compared to other similar meander scars. The methodology of this analysis can be used to locate regions of high vulnerability in future floodplain management and flood control, and mitigate potentially catastrophic landscape change.

A soil warming prototype was developed, installed, and tested, to simulate increased soil temperature scenarios, using an automatically controlled heater array. The prototype is installed at the U.S. Army, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Permafrost Experiment Station, in Fairbanks, Alaska. A plot area of 30 m-by-30 m was chosen in a spruce, birch, and willow stand. Trees were cleared, with care taken to minimize disturbance to the understory. The soil consists of ice-rich permafrost, generally present to a depth of 60 m, with an active layer that varies from 55 to 85 cm. Soils consist of tan and grey silt with permafrost moisture contents ranging from 26 to 41 percent by mass, which is relatively low moisture content for permafrost. The warming system consists of a hexagonal array of 127 vertically-installed heating elements arranged in a 25-by-29 m area. Heaters are spaced at a distance of 2.4 m apart, and at a depth of 4 m, with the effective heating depth at the bottom 0.6 m. Three heat zones within the array can be adjusted to a set-point above the current ambient ground temperature. Using integrated feedback loops, the system is able to monitor real time temperature data and automatically adjust the output of 6 separate heater circuits to maintain the desired set-point. Over temperature protection is included to cut power to a zone in the event that the zone temperature overshoots the desired set-point by a specified amount. Temperature monitoring stations are strategically placed throughout the plot area to collect temperature data at different depths. By compiling the temperature data, a three dimensional thermal picture of the area can be created. Power usage data is collected for each heater circuit so that performance can be monitored. Scenarios of 2, 4, 6, and 8 degree Celsius set-points above ambient soil temperatures have been successfully tested and collected data shows that temperatures can be tightly controlled. Results show that this system provides a promising means to simulate a soil warming scenario, and sets the stage for larger test plots to be installed in the future. The system will be useful in future studies such as comparing computer models, analyzing the effects on organisms within the environment, and ice transitions within the permafrost.

Sediment transport module was built into existing water quality model, CE-QUAL-ICM, for the Chesapeake Bay to better represent dynamics of total suspended solids (TSS). The transport process was supplied by a numerical hydrodynamic model, the Curvilinear Hydrodynamics in Three Dimensions, Waterway Experiment Station version (CH3D-WES). 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. Comparable to hydrological forcing, loadings of sediments to the Bay were imposed as above fall line load and distributed or non-point source load as well as atmospheric loading. In addition, shoreline erosion was also considered as a sediment source. Dynamic response of sediment bed was estimated by implicating wave-current interacting bottom boundary layer dynamics. The sediment transport model was based on the hypothesis that surface TSS is dependent on sediment loading whereas bottom TSS reflects bed dynamics. To validate the model, a long-term simulation over 7 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 and total suspended solid distribution 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.

In order to analyze the different pahoehoe emplacement regimes, we have acquired simultaneous high-resolution topographic and thermal measurements of advancing and inflating flow lobes at high temporal frequency. These datasets allow the creation of flow lobe maps at regular intervals during flow emplacement that document morphologic, thermal, and morphometric characteristics of individual pahoehoe elements (e.g., pahoehoe toes) as well as compound pahoehoe features (e.g., toe networks, channels with lateral levees). These datasets reveal patterns in flow behavior and provide quantitative documentation of flow emplacement processes. Field investigations were conducted in February and March, 2012 on tube-fed pahoehoe flows in the Puu Oo flow field, Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii. We utilized a ground-based, full-waveform scanning LiDAR and FLIR SC645 thermal infrared camera, supplemented by high-definition video and time-lapse photography. The LiDAR scanner is capable of acquiring rapid, successive scans with reproducible 5 mm resolution data at a rate of 300 kHz. The FLIR camera acquires calibrated thermal images in the 7.5-13 mm range; the object temperature range is -20 degrees C to +2000 degrees C, with a thermal sensitivity of <0.05 degrees C at 30 degrees C. An RTK GPS was used to acquire precise locations of scan positions and to georeference LiDAR point cloud data to real-world coordinates. The combined LiDAR/FLIR system provides rapid acquisition of high-resolution spatial and high-precision thermal datasets for advancing pahoehoe flows.

In response, a variety of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine treatments are under preclinical development. A wide variety of animal models are being used, all with critical limitations. The objective of this study was to develop a model of VML that was reproducible and technically uncomplicated to provide a standardized platform for the development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine solutions to VML repair. A rat model of VML involving excision of 20% of the muscle's mass from the superficial portion of the middle third of the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle was developed and was functionally characterized. The contralateral TA muscle served as the uninjured control. Additionally, uninjured age-matched control rats were also tested to determine the effect of VML on the contralateral limb. TA muscles were assessed at 2 and 4 months postinjury. VML muscles weighed 22.7% and 19.5% less than contralateral muscles at 2 and 4 months postinjury, respectively. These differences were accompanied by a reduction in peak isometric tetanic force (Po) of 28.4% and 32.5% at 2 and 4 months. Importantly, Po corrected for differences in body weight and muscle wet weights were similar between contralateral and age-matched control muscles, indicating that VML did not have a significant impact on the contralateral limb. Lastly, repair of the injury with a biological scaffold resulted in rapid vascularization and integration with the wound. The technical simplicity, reliability, and clinical relevance of the VML model developed in this study make it ideal as a standard model for the development of tissue engineering solutions for VML.

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.

Such evidence can be used to show that it takes not only the right number of nursing staff on every shift to ensure safe patient care, but also the right mix of expertise and experience. Based on findings from the MilNOD project, the authors present realistic scenarios of common dilemmas hospitals face in nurse staffing, illustrating the potential hazards for patients and nurses alike.

Methods: Thirty-seven (18.4 plus or minus 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% plus or minus 2.5% vs. 1.9% plus or minus 1.2% and 0.8% plus or minus 2.2%, respectively). They also had a significant increase in lean mass compared with LA and ROTC (1.8 plus or minus 1.1 kg vs. -0.2 plus or minus 2.0 kg and 0.2 plus or minus 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.

They have been used for military airfields, construction platforms, and similar applications. Previous evaluation studies of matting systems have typically consisted of full-scale testing, with only a limited amount of numerical modeling found in literature. This paper presents results of full-scale accelerated testing of twenty-one test sections encompassing five matting systems, five soil support conditions, and two aircraft loadings. One of the soil support conditions was instrumented and tested in conjunction with three matting systems and one aircraft loading. Three-dimensional finite element modeling was performed on the instrumented sections using the measured test data for calibration. Good matches of measured soil stresses were obtained with the model for two of the mats, while the model under-predicted stresses in the third mat. Modeling of the type performed in this paper was capable of correctly ranking the performance of the matting systems modeled relative to the full-scale test results.

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.

17320556 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.

A Bayesian network consists of a graphical structure and a probabilistic description of the relationships among the different variables of the analyzed system. The graphical structure explicitly represents cause and effect relationships, allowing a complex causal chain to be structured in a series of conditional relationships. Due to these characteristics, Bayesian networks are particularly useful for modeling complex environmental systems with multiple components related by different dependencies. As a case study, we present a Bayesian network integrating the outputs of ecological and geomorphological models of a wetland ecosystem. Specifically we consider the Sian Ka'an wetland for comparative purposes with the Florida Everglades. In this case we consider all the variables averaged in the spatial domain. The variability of future climate, expressed by rainfall variability and different anthropic pressures, is described as uncertain nodes in the Bayesian network. All of the variables are characterized by multiple states, representing their future variability, in the form of probability distributions that are propagated to the model endpoint - the habitat value that expresses the overall quality of the wetland ecosystem. The habitat value calculated under different scenarios, as a function of climate change and anthropic pressure, can reveal the linkages between these external stressors and ecogeomorphological dynamics. We plan also to compare the dynamics of the pristine Sian Ka'an wetland versus the highly impacted Florida Everglades under the same stressors. The Bayesian network can also inform public policies about the best use of wetland ecosystems in order to preserve ecosystem structure and function.

In general, sea level rise can be characterized by a trend and an acceleration. The overall trend and acceleration for the 20 (super th) century are quite well established at approximately 1.7 mm/yr and 0.0 mm/yr (super 2) , respectively as demonstrated by reference to a number of journal papers. Short term global sea level change characteristics are more difficult to quantify with accuracy. The satellite data document that the current sea level trend is on the order of 3 mm/year, substantially higher that the 20 (super th) century rate. Thus, there has been an acceleration which Ray and Douglas (2012) determine to have commenced in the mid 1980's. The satellite data also document a significant deceleration, thus indicating oscillatory characteristics. Two approaches are applied to examine whether the recent trend increase is part of a long-term change or part of a cycle. First, reconstruction results of global sea level change developed by Church and White (2011) and Ray and Douglas (2012) through application of empirical orthogonal function methods are examined to see if similar past oscillations have occurred. Secondly, the satellite results are examined by fitting an equation which contains both a trend and an oscillatory term. The best fit to this equation establishes the trend and the period, phase and amplitude of the oscillating term. It is found that the reconstructed global results of both Church and White (2011) and Ray and Douglas (2012) include oscillations comparable to those in the satellite data. Secondly, the fit by the oscillation equation provides a better representation of the satellite data than a linear fit (with the number of degrees in each representation taken into consideration). The root-mean square differences for the linear and oscillation fits are 4.51 and 4.01 mm, respectively.

However, even though the BR was developed to account for shoreline response to sea level rise, it does not account for landward sediment transport such as occurs during major storm events. Landward sediment transport and deposition is Nature's way of maintaining land elevation relative to rising sea level and is accomplished dominantly by overwash and Aeolian processes. Although landward transport is taken into consideration in the modified "Barrier Island BR" as presented by Dean and Maurmeyer (1983), it has not been discussed for the more general case of a mainland or barrier shoreline which may have landward transport limited to a specified cross-shore distance as contrasted to the barrier case in which the entire island translates upward and toward the bay or lagoon without change of form. The hypothesis examined herein is that landward sediment transport in the nearshore plays a substantial role in long-term nearshore response. Evidence supporting this hypothesis includes the aforementioned washover deposits, the de Beaumont theory (1845) of barrier island formation, general lack of nearshore sediment deposits as predicted by the BR and sediment sorting across the nearshore. Generalization of the original BR to account for landward sediment transport in the nearshore and on the upland results in the same form of relationship as the original BR except now the characteristics of the landward transport are required to determine the shoreline recession. Thus the implications of the generalized BR to account for landward transport are that in order to better quantify the nearshore long-term response to sea level rise, the characteristics of overwash during storms and long-term Aeolian transport must be much better understood.

From geotechnical to hydrologist to environmental restorationists to geospatial engineers, a "pure" geologist is difficult to find. There are a variety of ways one can put geologic information to use in the resolution of the many challenges facing this nation for which the Corps of Engineers has responsibility to address. If one is looking for a real challenge a geologist on active duty opens a whole new realm on the imaginative use of ones geology skills. R. A. F. Penrose in his 1917 booklet, Things a geologist can do in war, lists eight ways to do as the title says. Plus, he offers a unique qualification why a geologist can "go to war." Most of these are still true today, just the tools used have changed. Image analysis and interpretation play a large role in geospatial engineering, in traditional-speak topographic engineering. However, geology degreed individuals have found interesting niches through out the US Army--Active, Reserve, National Guard. The only limitations are imagination, flexibility, and desire to pursue a particular career direction.

The dam was completed in 1979 and is operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Norfolk District. The foundation and abutments of Gathright Dam have several geologic units that are highly prone to chemical solutioning. For example, the geotechnical investigation revealed that 44% of the 2800 feet of drilling in the Coeymans Formation , which is present in the both dam abutments, was drilled through air- or clay-filled voids. This presentation will focus on the results of a recent seepage assessment of Gathright Dam as requested by the USACE. The goal of our study was to determine if the dam was safe with respect to seepage and piping. The study included a significant amount of subsurface data reduction and 3-D data visualization, which played an instrumental role in our understanding of the complex interactions between the geology and dam seepage control features. Results of the seepage study indicated that there is no immediate dam safety concerns related to seepage through the dam itself or its foundation or abutments.

The BCS diverts floodwaters from the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain, thereby reducing the water discharge flowing past New Orleans. In the 81 years since construction, BCS has been opened ten times, diverting water for between 13 and 75 days. The 2011 Mississippi River flood, which had the highest peak discharge since 1927, necessitated opening the BCS for 42-days (May 9-June 20), and during this period, average spillway discharge (6010 m (super 3) s (super -1) ) amounted to 10-20% of the total river discharge. Sediment-laden water entered the adjacent floodway and was guided for 10 km into Lake Pontchartrain. The 2011 flood event thus presented a unique opportunity to examine the operation of the BCS as a possible analogy for evaluating how water and sediment diversions along the Mississippi River could be effectively engineered to mitigate coastal land loss in Louisiana. Field studies were conducted both during and after the BCS opening, in order to assess the quantity and character of sand routed from the river and into the spillway. Sand, rather than mud, is crucial for land and delta growth because it settles proximally to the fluvial source and provides a stable substrate for vegetation growth, which then aids mud deposition. Our findings show how local river conditions impacted the diversion of sand from the river into the spillway, by influencing channel bed sediment composition, and promoting elevated suspended sand concentrations within the water column. We conservatively estimate that 31-46% of the total sand load carried by the Mississippi River during the period of spillway opening was diverted into the floodway, by skimming only the upper 10-15% of the water column. Therefore, the results of this study have important implications for the design of engineered river diversions in Louisiana to mitigate coastal wetland loss, by demonstrating that sand can be diverted from the main channel if the appropriate morphological controls are present.

The dam, owned and operated by the Norfolk District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, was constructed between 1967 and 1979. The foundation and abutment bedrock consists of karst-prone sedimentary rock, which required extensive treatment of joints and solution cavities to cut off potential seepage pathways. This presentation will cover a case history of the treatment that was completed on the embankment foundation and abutment bedrock at Gathright Dam. Treatment methods included 30-foot deep consolidation grouting and 150-foot deep curtain grouting in the foundation and both abutments. In addition to the grouting, an 800-foot long concrete membrane wall was constructed in the left abutment to isolate extensively solutioned bedrock layers.

New capabilities for field analyses of active lava flow emplacement provide important constraints from both the process-oriented and surface morphologic perspectives. In February and March, 2012, we collected high-resolution spatial and high-precision thermal datasets for advancing tube-fed pahoehoe flows in the Puu Oo flow field, Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii. We utilized a ground-based, full-waveform scanning LiDAR system and FLIR SC645 thermal infrared camera, supplemented by high-definition video footage and time-lapse photography, to acquire simultaneous topographic (mm-scale) and thermal (with 0.05 degrees C precision) measurements at high temporal frequency (repeat time of 30 seconds). These datasets are being used to create flow lobe maps at regular intervals during flow emplacement that reveal patterns in flow behavior and provide quantitative documentation of flow emplacement processes. Pahoehoe lava flows exhibit morphologically complex surfaces due to spatial and temporal variations during flow development. The compound flow surfaces typical of pahoehoe flows result from the formation of multiple overlapping and interfingering lobes and interconnected networks of pahoehoe toes, as well as inflation of the flow surface at a variety of scales. Our investigation is designed to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize pahoehoe flow surfaces and link surface morphology to observed emplacement processes, providing a robust foundation for interpretation of volcanic processes on other planets.

AN - 1373488034; 201312884 AB - Group randomized trials of a resilience training program (formerly Battlemind training) demonstrated effectiveness of the program in reducing postdeployment adjustment problems among military personnel. These results are promising, but program evaluation is a dynamic, multifaceted task, and many questions remain. This article is designed to address one component of resilience training program evaluation: soldiers' perceptions of the training. Specifically, a self-report measure assessing attitudes and satisfaction in domains theorized to be important to resilience training was developed. This measure was administered to 782 soldiers who participated in a 1-hr resilience training session at 4-months postdeployment. Several mental health outcomes (e.g., alcohol problems, posttraumatic stress symptoms, physical health symptoms, unit morale) were assessed before training and 6 months later. Structural validity, internal consistency, concurrent validity, and predictive validity of the measure were examined. Analyses identified two factors reflecting attitudes toward Training Content and Training Process. The factors demonstrated good internal consistency, and both correlated with overall training satisfaction and mental health-related attitudes. In addition, both factors predicted significant positive change in a set of mental health outcomes at 6-month follow-up. Implications for postdeployment resilience training are discussed.

A fully coupled two-phase flow model was used to simulate nearshore fluid-sediment turbulent flow in the cross-shore direction. It includes the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and turbulent stress closures for each phase, and accounts for inter-granular stresses. The model has previously been validated using laboratory-scale data, so the results are likely more reliable for that scale. It was used to simulate wave breaking and the ensuing hydrodynamics and sediment transport processes in the surf/swash zones. Numerical experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of varying beach and wave characteristics (e.g., beach slope, sediment grain size, wave periods and heights) on the foreshore profile changes. Spilling and plunging breakers occur on dissipative and intermediate beaches, respectively. The impact of these wave/beach types on nearshore zone hydrodynamics and beach morphology was determined. The numerical results showed that turbulent kinetic energy, sediment concentrations and transport rate are greater on intermediate than on dissipative beaches. The results confirmed that wave energy, beach grain size and bed slope are main factors for sediment transport and beach morphodynamics. The location of the maximum sediment transport is near the breaking point for both beach types. Coarse- and fine-sand beaches differ significantly in their erosive characteristics (e.g., foreshore profile evolutions are erosive and accretionary on the fine and coarse sand beaches, respectively). In addition, a new parameter (based on main driving factors) is proposed that can characterize the sediment transport in the surf and swash zones. The results are consistent with existing physical observations, suggesting that the two-phase flow model is suitable for the simulation of hyper-concentrated mixed water-sediment flows in the nearshore. The model thus has potential as a useful tool for investigating interactions between nearshore hydrodynamics and beach morphology. Abstract Copyright (2012) Elsevier, B.V.

The concept of R2P is to protect populations from genocide and other atrocities, and it recognizes, first and foremost, that it is the responsibility of sovereign governments to protect the populations located within their borders. Under the principle of responsibility to protect, members of the international community should only intervene when the sovereign government in question proves unable or unwilling to protect members of a persecuted population. When either the sovereign government or the international community offers protection, prevention of atrocities is emphasized over crisis response. The challenges of an R2P policy, as seen in Libya and the on-going debate over an intervention in Syria, are deciding in which conflict to commit the United States and in operationalizing R2P to prevent or, if necessary, respond to atrocities that occur across the globe.

Molded plastic storage containers, purchased at a department store, were modified to fashion the tanks. The remaining construction materials were also inexpensive and the NeST design made it virtually leak-proof. The uniformity of flow in the NeST was evaluated with three independent tracer tests. Estimated velocities were within about + or -20% including all test results, indicating a high degree of predictability and uniformity in the flow. The NeST is a simple and robust tool suitable for research and teaching purposes, particularly for the testing of flow measurement sensors like the point velocity probes.

To our knowledge, there have not been any systematic studies that have examined this issue. For this field study, three fill rates (50 mL/min, 250 mL/min, and approximately 1 L/min) and three filling methods (top-pour, side-pour, and bottom-fill) were used to fill sample vials. We found that the bottom-fill method, with the tubing submerged in the sample as it fills, yielded the greatest recovery (i.e., highest concentrations) of VOCs. Little improvement was observed by pouring down the side of a vial vs. simply pouring straight down from the top. We also found that filling the vials at the fastest fill rate ( approximately 1 L/min) yielded higher recovery than the slowest fill rate (50 mL/min) using all three filling methods. These results are counter to prevailing guidance and conventional wisdom that slower filling is preferable to faster filling and that pouring down the side of a sample vial is the best practice for VOC sampling. However, because we were unable to randomize the order the samples were collected with respect to fill rate, we recommend a follow-on study be conducted that will allow us to confirm our findings and better determine which fill rates minimize losses of VOCs.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved a survey of 593 volunteers from two battalions of a Stryker Brigade Combat Team upon completion of a 12-mo deployment to Afghanistan. The survey included questions on physical characteristics, work duties, equipment worn, fitness training, and injuries experienced during the deployment. Results: Of the surveyed soldiers, 45% sustained an injury during the deployment. Total injuries resulted in 5049 d of limited duty, an average of 8.5 d per injury. The body regions with the largest numbers of injuries were the low back (17.4%), knee (12.7%), and shoulder (10.0%). The majority (65%) of injuries occurred while working. The most frequent activities soldiers reported as the cause of injury were lifting and carrying (9.8%), dismounted patrolling (9.6%), and physical training (8.0%). Older age, higher enlisted rank, female sex, months deployed, more time spent standing, longer strength training sessions, heaviest load worn, and heavier or more frequent lifting tasks were all associated with injury. Discussion: Tasks requiring physical energy expenditure such as load carriage, lifting, or standing resulted in an increased risk of musculoskeletal injury in this study. Lifting/carrying, dismounted patrols, and physical training were associated with 26% of musculoskeletal injuries. The weight of loads carried and lifting may be exceeding the work capacity of the soldiers, resulting in injury. These injuries in turn limit available work days for military units, reducing combat power.

The problem is that it is extremely difficult for pilots to subjectively and accurately determine visibility range during flight. As such, pilots operating under visual flight rules (VFR) are prone to fly into poor visibility situations and not realize it until too late.

The objectives of this experiment were twofold: to compare the effectiveness of a forehead-mounted reflectance oximeter and finger-mounted pulse oximeter for application in a hypoxia early warning detection system, and to determine whether the forehead-mounted sensor could be placed within an aviation helmet. Methods: Subjects donned an aviation flight mask and were instrumented with a forehead reflectance oximeter, a finger pulse oximeter, a blood pressure cuff, and a skin temperature sensor. Following instrumentation, subjects breathed ambient air for 10 min through the Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device (ROBD) to allow for acclimation. The baseline period was followed by one of two counterbalanced ascent profiles used to model rapid exposures to altitude. Data were collected at 1 Hz from both sensors for the duration of the protocol. Results: Analyses indicated an exceptionally strong agreement between the forehead and finger sensors at all ranges of desaturation. The sensitivity data revealed that the forehead sensor was significantly faster when responding to rapid changes in S(p)O(2) than the finger. The sensor was successfully integrated inside the helmet; however, once donned by the subject, there was considerable artifact due to pressure fluctuations. Discussion: While these data may seem to suggest that the forehead sensor is accurate and sensitive to altitude induced changes in S(p)O(2), major drawbacks exist for the technology utilized in the current study. Significant improvements aimed at diminishing noise, curbing motion artifact, and improving reliability are required to reduce errant measurements.

AN - 1112345104; 22963722 AB - Toxicological experiments in animals are carried out to determine the type and severity of any potential toxic effect associated with a new lead compound. The collected data are then used to extrapolate the effects on humans and determine initial dose regimens for clinical trials. The underlying assumption is that the severity of the toxic effects in animals is correlated with that in humans. However, there is a general lack of toxic correlations across species. Thus, it is more advantageous to predict the toxicological effects of a compound on humans directly from the human toxicological data of related compounds. However, many popular quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methods that build a single global model by fitting all training data appear inappropriate for predicting toxicological effects of structurally diverse compounds because the observed toxicological effects may originate from very different and mostly unknown molecular mechanisms. In this article, we demonstrate, via application to the human maximum recommended daily dose data that locally weighted learning methods, such as k-nearest neighbors, are well suited for predicting toxicological effects of structurally diverse compounds. We also show that a significant flaw of the k-nearest neighbor method is that it always uses a constant number of nearest neighbors in making prediction for a target compound, irrespective of whether the nearest neighbors are structurally similar enough to the target compound to ensure that they share the same mechanism of action. To remedy this flaw, we proposed and implemented a variable number nearest neighbor method. The advantages of the variable number nearest neighbor method over other QSAR methods include (1) allowing more reliable predictions to be achieved by applying a tighter molecular distance threshold and (2) automatic detection for when a prediction should not be made because the compound is outside the applicable domain.

PQ0003948558 AB - In this paper, a specific component of the global heat budget, the cryosphere, is focused upon towards development of simplified mathematical models that may be useful in further understanding possible global climate change impacts and underpinnings. The cryosphere may be useful in further assessing future impacts to the climate currently captured by global Circulation Models (or GCMs) by providing an opportunity for validation of GCMs. Additionally, such focused analysis may also provide information for use in enhancing GCMs with their ongoing efforts to include additional climate components and feedback elements such as the cryosphere relationship with the atmosphere, among other climatic components. The resulting 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, and may be useful to the researcher and student in investigating other climatic components that may be similarly analyzed for possible GCM validation. The current trend in GCM advancement is to increase the complexity and sophistication of the various heat transport effects that are represented in the governing mathematical model in cumulative form as the heat forcing function. In this paper, the heat forcing function is assumed to be a linear transformation of temperature which is, in turn, assumed to be represented by proxy realizations obtained from ratios of particular isotopes of hydrogen obtained from ice cores. The output from the governing mathematical model is total ice volume of the cryosphere (i.e., the total volume of frozen water in the earth) which is assumed to be represented by proxy realizations obtained from ratios of particular isotopes of oxygen obtained from benthic sediment cores. Given these two sets of proxy data used as representations of model input/output, the relationship between such proxy data is limited by the accuracy of the representations themselves of the actual model input/output, namely, the heat forcing function and the total ice volume. The assumed governing mathematical model that is used to relate the heat forcing function and total ice volume is a further limitation of the modeling approach. However, 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.

AN - 1082238634; 22950762 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.

PMOs are neutral DNA analogues that inhibit gene expression in a sequence-specific manner. In this study, several cationic, membrane-penetrating peptides were conjugated to PMOs (PPMOs) that target 2 bacterial essential genes: acyl carrier protein (acpP) and gyrase A (gyrA). These were tested for their ability to inhibit growth of Bacillus anthracis, a gram-positive spore-forming bacterium and causative agent of anthrax. PPMOs targeted upstream of both target gene start codons and conjugated with the bacterium-permeating peptide (RFF) sub(3)R were found to be most effective in inhibiting bacterial growth in vitro. Both of the gene-targeted PPMOs protected macrophages from B. anthracis induced cell death. Subsequent, in vivo testing of the PPMOs resulted in increased survival of mice challenged with the virulent Ames strain of B. anthracis. Together, these studies suggest that PPMOs targeting essential genes have the potential of being used as antisense antibiotics to treat B. anthracis infections.

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.

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.

Religious organisations and political groups, especially those influenced by socialism and Zionism, founded school networks. Their programmes reflected the heterogeneity of the Polish Jewish community. Schools with a Zionist orientation stood next to those who stressed Jewish national autonomy within Polish society, moderate religious institutions next to ultra-Orthodox facilities. Many Jews predisposed to assimilation sent their children to public Polish schools. During the 1930s, nationalist, anti-minority government policy and widespread anti-Semitism increasingly destabilized the Jewish school system. Adapted from the source document.

A laboratory incubation, a field trial, and a second laboratory incubation were conducted to test the ability of high-Fe biosolids-based composts to reduce the bioaccessibility of soil Pb and As in situ. Lead and As bioaccessibility were evaluated using an in vitro assay. Changes in Pb, As, and Fe speciation were determined on select samples after the second laboratory incubation using mu -X-ray fluorescence mapping followed by mu -X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES). A compost with Fe added to wastewater treatment residuals (Fe WTR compost) added to soils at 100 g kg (super -1) decreased Pb bioaccessibility in both laboratory incubations. Mixed results were observed for As. Composts tested in the field trial (Fe added as Fe powder or FeCl (sub 2) ) did not reduce bioaccessible Pb, and limited reductions were observed in bioaccessible As. These composts had no effect on Pb bioaccessibility during the second laboratory incubation. Bulk XANES showed association of Pb with sulfates and carbonates in the control soil. mu -XANES for three points in the Fe WTR amended soil showed Pb present as Fe-sorbed Pb (88 and 100% of two points) and pyromorphite (12 and 53% of two points). Bulk XANES of the Fe WTR compost showed 97% of total Fe present as Fe (super 3+) . The results of this study indicate that addition of high-Fe biosolids compost is an effective means to reduce Pb accessibility only for certain types of Fe-rich materials.

Hypersensitivity reactions limit the use and efficacy of asparaginase products. However, Erwinia asparaginase gained the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in November 2011, for use in patients with allergic reactions to Escherichia coli-derived asparaginase. Areas covered: Erwinia asparaginase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the amino acid asparagine. This review examines the properties of Erwinia asparaginase compared to the two other preparations of asparaginase available for use in the United States. Results of selected clinical trials involving Erwinia asparaginase, including the pivotal study resulting in FDA approval, are presented. Expert opinion: Erwinia asparaginase is well tolerated, and it is effective in achieving asparaginase levels associated with efficacy in the treatment of ALL. With FDA approval of Erwinia asparagainse, oncologists now have an alternative for ALL patients who become hypersensitive to E. coli-derived asparaginase. Future studies will be needed to establish optimal dosing of Erwinia asparaginase (e.g., intravenous vs. intramuscular) and to better define the most appropriate indications for its use in patients previously treated with E. coli-derived asparaginase.

Little is known about the early in vitro events that guide the assembly of 'bioartificial tissue' (constructs) and recapitulate the key aspects of smooth muscle differentiation and development before surgical implantation. Biomimetic approaches have been proposed that enable the identification of in vitro processes which allow standardized manufacturing, thus improving both product quality and the consistency of patient outcomes. One essential element of this approach is the description of the SMC secretome, that is, the soluble and deposited factors produced within the three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment. In this study, we utilized autologous SMC from multiple tissue types that were expanded ex vivo and generated with a rigorous focus on operational phenotype and genetic stability. The objective of this study was to characterize the spatio-temporal dynamics of the first week of organoid maturation using a well-defined in vitro-like, 3D-engineered scale model of our validated manufacturing process. Functional proteomics was used to identify the topological properties of the networks of interacting proteins that were derived from the SMC secretome, revealing overlapping central nodes related to SMC differentiation and proliferation, actin cytoskeleton regulation, and balanced ECM accumulation. The critical functions defined by the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis included cell signaling, cellular movement and proliferation, and cellular and organismal development. The results confirm the phenotypic and functional similarity of the SMC generated by our platform technology at the molecular level. Furthermore, these data validate the biomimetic approaches that have been established to maintain manufacturing consistency.

A systematic literature review was conducted regarding hypoxic impairment, including mental functions, sensory deficits, and other pertinent research findings that may affect aviation-related duties at moderate altitude (8000 to 15,000 ft/2438 to 4572 m). The results of this review suggest that cognitive and psychomotor deficits may include learning, reaction time, decision-making, and certain types of memory. However, results are difficult to quantify and reliably reproduce. Inconsistency of results may be related to the subtlety of deficits compared to high altitude, differences among individual compensatory mechanisms, variation in methodology or sensitivity of metrics, presence or absence of exercise, heterogeneous neuronal central nervous system (CNS) response, and interindividual variation. Literature regarding hypoxic visual decrements is more consistent. Rod photoreceptors are more susceptible to hypoxia; visual degradation has been demonstrated at 4000 to 5000 ft (1219 to 1524 m) under scotopic and 10,000 ft (3048 m) under photopic conditions. Augmented night vision goggle resolution demonstrates more resilience to mild hypoxic effects than the unaided eye under starlight conditions. Hypocapnia enhances visual sensitivity and contrast discrimination. Hyperventilation with resulting respiratory alkalosis and cerebral vasoconstriction may confound both cognitive/ psychomotor and visual experimental results. Future research should include augmentation of validated neuropsychological metrics (surrogate investigational end points) with actual flight metrics, investigation of mixed gas formulations, contribution of hypocapnic vasoconstrictive effects on hypoxic performance, and further investigation into cellular-and systems-level approaches for heterogeneous CNS response. Research is also required into the contribution of mild-moderate hypoxia in human factors- and spatial disorientation-related mishaps.

Rapid sample processing time is important for the earliest administration of therapeutic and containment measures, especially in the case of biothreat agents. In this context, we compared the Fujifilm QuickGene-Mini80 to Qiagen's QIAamp Mini Purification kits for extraction of DNA and RNA for potential use in austere settings. Qiagen (QIAamp) column-based extraction is the currently recommended purification platform by United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases for both DNA and RNA extraction. However, this sample processing system requires dedicated laboratory equipment including a centrifuge. In this study, we investigated the QuickGene-Mini80, which does not require centrifugation, as a suitable platform for nucleic acid extraction for use in resource-limited locations. Quality of the sample extraction was evaluated using pathogen-specific, real-time PCR assays for nucleic acids extracted from viable and gamma -irradiated Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis, vaccinia virus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, or B. anthracis spores in buffer or human whole blood. QuickGene-Mini80 and QIAamp performed similarly for DNA extraction regardless of organism viability. It was noteworthy that gamma -irradiation did not have a significant impact on real-time PCR for organism detection. Comparison with QIAamp showed a less than adequate performance of the Fujifilm instrument for RNA extraction. However, QuickGene-Mini80 remains a viable alternative to QIAamp for DNA extraction for use in remote settings due to extraction quality, time efficiency, reduced instrument requirements, and ease of use.

Although female Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis Miller and Allen, 1928) have been documented to migrate >500 km, knowledge of their migratory patterns is still extremely limited. We used the relationship between latitude and stable hydrogen isotope ratio in bat hair ( delta super(2)H sub(hair)) to estimate the north-south extent of the summer range (catchment area) of bats hibernating in 14 Indiana bat hibernacula in eight states throughout its range. Range of delta super(2)H sub(hair) values varied substantially among hibernacula, suggesting large differences among sites in the north-south distance travelled by bats between summer and winter habitats. In particular, hibernacula in the southern portion of the range had greater catchment areas than those in the central and northern portions of the range. Variability in movement distances among sites was not associated with the number of hair samples analyzed or colony size. Significant year-to-year variation (2007-2008 to 2008-2009) in the distribution of delta super(2)H sub(hair) for two sites in Tennessee was observed. Currently, hibernacula considered important for species conservation are largely determined by population size, but our results suggest that migratory diversity should also be considered.Original Abstract: Il importe de bien comprendre les deplacements saisonniers des chauves-souris pour assurer l'efficacite des efforts de conservation visant ces animaux. Bien que la migration de chauves-souris de l'Indiana (Myotis sodalis Miller et Allen, 1928) femelles sur plus de 500 km soit documentee, les connaissances sur leurs patrons de migration demeurent extremement limitees. Nous avons utilise la relation entre la latitude et les rapports d'isotopes stables d'hydrogene dans les poils de chauve-souris ( delta super(2)H sub(poils)) pour estimer l'etendue nord-sud de l'aire de repartition estivale (aire de recrutement) de chauves-souris hibernant dans 14 hibernaculums de chauves-souris de l'Indiana repartis dans huit Etats a l'echelle de leur aire de repartition. Des variations substantielles de la fourchette de valeurs du delta super(2)H sub(poils) entre hibernaculums suggerent de grandes differences entre les sites en ce qui concerne les distances de deplacement nord-sud parcourues par les chauves-souris entre leurs habitats estivaux et hivernaux. Plus particulierement, les hibernaculums dans la partie meridionale de l'aire de repartition etaient caracterises par des aires de recrutement plus grandes que ceux situes dans le centre et le nord de l'aire de repartition. La variabilite des distances de deplacement d'un site a l'autre n'etait pas reliee au nombre d'echantillons de poil analyses, ni a la taille de la colonie. Des variations interannuelles significatives (de 2007-2008 a 2008-2009) dans la distribution du delta super(2)H sub(poils) pour deux sites au Tennessee ont ete observees. Si, actuellement, la determination des hibernaculums consideres comme importants pour la conservation de l'espece repose principalement sur la taille de la population, nos resultats suggerent que la diversite migratoire devrait egalement etre prise en consideration.

The objectives of the workshop were to obtain guidance for government researchers, to spur research community involvement in the field of traumatic wound research informed by a microbiome perspective, and to spark collaborative efforts serving the Wounded Warriors and similarly wounded civilians. During the discussions, it was made clear that the complexity of these infections will only be met by developing a new art of clinical practice that engages the numerous microbes and their ecology. It requires the support of dedicated laboratories and technologists who advance research methods such as community sequencing, as well as the kinds of data analysis expertise and facilities. These strategies already appear to be bearing fruit in the clinical management of chronic wounds. There are now funding announcements and programs supporting this area of research open to extramural collaborators.

AN - 1080611922; 22873527 AB - Ebolaviruses and marburgviruses cause severe and often lethal human hemorrhagic fevers. As no FDA-approved therapeutics are available for these infections, efforts to discover new therapeutics are important, especially because these pathogens are considered biothreats and emerging infectious diseases. All methods for discovering new therapeutics should be considered, including compound library screening in vitro against virus and in silico structure-based drug design, where possible, if sufficient biochemical and structural information is available. This review covers the structure and function of filovirus proteins, as they have been reported to date, as well as some of the current antiviral screening approaches. The authors discuss key studies mapping small-molecule modulators that were found through library and in silico screens to potential sites on viral proteins or host proteins involved in virus trafficking and pathogenesis. A description of ebolavirus and marburgvirus diseases and available animal models is also presented. To discover novel therapeutics with potent efficacy using sophisticated computational methods, more high-resolution crystal structures of filovirus proteins and more details about the protein functions and host interaction will be required. Current compound screening efforts are finding active antiviral compounds, but an emphasis on discovery research to investigate protein structures and functions enabling in silico drug design would provide another avenue for finding antiviral molecules. Additionally, targeting of protein-protein interactions may be a future avenue for drug discovery since disrupting catalytic sites may not be possible for all proteins.

AN - 1040997477; 22767539 AB - 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.

AN - 1040996882; 22981032 AB - A 59-year-old woman was admitted to the internal medicine service after presenting to the emergency department with complaints of abdominal pain and hematuria. Upon further evaluation, the patient was found to be significantly coagulopathic secondary to the intentional ingestion of brodifacoum, the active ingredient in D-Con rat poison, in an attempt to commit suicide. The patient was treated and discharged only to return several days later with new pain and the inability to urinate. She was found to be in acute renal failure and renal ultrasonography revealed bilateral ureteral and renal pelvis thrombus leading to acute obstructive nephropathy. She was taken emergently to the operating room for placement of bilateral ureteral stents which resulted in decompression of her collecting system and resolution of her renal failure.

This paper analyzed the evolution of the performance of flexible pavements to forecast the change in the serviceability level offered by the structure. Data from the Minnesota Road Research Project (MnROAD) road test corresponding to the low-volume traffic loop were used in the study. The data analysis centered on the normalized truncated Levy walk model. It was concluded that the truncated Levy distribution optimally describes the decrease of pavement serviceability caused by traffic and climatic conditions specific to the infrastructure location and traffic. The Truncated Levy Flight (TLF) provided a better approximation over the full range of the normalized pavement serviceability index than the Gaussian distribution for dataset considered.

2013-015654 AB - Tropical hydrology is poorly understood for a number of reasons. Intense biological activity in the tropics introduces complexities to the hydrologic process. Bioturbation, rapid rates of decay, and intensive insect activity all tend to promote rapid flow paths in the upper soil. Aggressive weathering leads to clays depleted of light cations and deep soil profiles. Processes in the seasonal tropics are further complicated by seasonal transitions, and very large changes in catchment storage between seasons. Beginning in 2005, we installed a suite of hydrologic sensors in a 16.7ha first-order catchment in the Panama Canal Watershed to observe hydrologic variables and identify the dominant streamflow generation processes. The site is located near the village of Gamboa, which is located on the east bank of the Panama Canal at the confluence of Lake Gatun and the Chagres River. The study catchment is located on the north side of a ridge off the eastern flank of a 230m tall hill known as Cerro Pelado, and is covered by 70-120 year old re-growth triple-canopy forest. Measurements included: rainfall above the canopy, throughfall, stemflow, evapotranspiration, shallow groundwater levels and streamflow. Deep groundwater storage was not measured. This paper describes measurements made, data collected, and the worth of those data in estimating the mass balance closure of a first-order catchment during the wet season. We compare measurements of the different components of the water cycle with observations from other published studies from the tropics. Data analysis results indicate water balance closure errors of approximately 8%. Abstract Copyright (2012) Elsevier, B.V.

Instream wood loads in tropical rivers might be expected to differ from those in analogous temperate rivers because of the higher transport capacity and higher rates of wood decay in the tropics. We use data from four field sites in Costa Rica and Panama to demonstrate that wood loads are consistently lower in tropical rivers, despite substantial variations among tropical sites as a result of differences in mechanisms of wood recruitment. We develop a model of wood dynamics (recruitment, transport, and retention) based on differences in dominant wood recruitment mechanism. The steady-state end-member reflects sites where gradual recruitment of wood through individual tree fall creates a relatively consistent wood load through time and development of logjams is minimal. The episodic end-member reflects sites dominated by episodic mass recruitment via landslides or blowdowns. This facilitates formation of transient logjams, so that wood loads exhibit substantial spatial and temporal variation along the channel network. The model presented here should also apply to headwater streams in the temperate zone, although existing documentation suggests that jams are more persistent along streams in the temperate zone.

Rainfall (P) and streamflow (Q) were measured continuously, whereas dry canopy evaporation (transpiration E (sub t) ), wet canopy evaporation (rainfall interception I), and cloud water interception (CWI) were quantified using a combination of field measurements and modeling. Mean annual P was 3467mm, of which typically 80% fell during the wet season (May-October). Fog interception occurred exclusively during the dry season (November-April), and was < 2% of annual P for both forests. Rainfall interception loss was dominated by post-event evaporation of intercepted water rather than by within-event evaporation. Therefore, the higher overall I (i.e. including CWI) by the MAT (16% of P vs. 8% for the SEC) reflects a higher canopy storage capacity, related in turn to higher leaf area index and greater epiphyte biomass. Annual E (sub t) totals derived from sapflow measurements were nearly equal for the MAT and SEC ( approximately 790mm each). Total annual water yield calculated as P minus (E (sub t) +I) was somewhat higher for the SEC (2441mm) than for the MAT (2077mm), and mainly reflects the difference in I. Mean annual Q was also higher for the SEC (1527mm) than for the MAT (1338mm), and consisted mostly of baseflow ( approximately 90%). Baseflow recession rates were nearly equal between the two forests, as were stormflow coefficients (4% and 5% for MAT and SEC, respectively). The very low runoff response to rainfall is attributed to the high infiltration and water retention capacities of the volcanic soils throughout the approximately 2m deep profile. The water budget results indicate that approximately 875 and 700mmyear (super -1) leave the SEC and MAT as deep groundwater leakage, which is considered plausible given the fractured geology in the study area. It is concluded that 20 years of natural regeneration following cloud forest disturbance in central-eastern Mexico is capable of producing near-original hydrological behavior.

On peaks and ridges, laurel forest gives way to mixed evergreen tree-heath/beech forest of low stature ("fayal-brezal") that has to cope with rapidly changing light, temperature and humidity conditions due to the occurrence of intermittent sunny and foggy periods during the mostly rainless summer. These conditions are poorly understood and there is a lack of information on the interrelations between tree physiological behavior and ambient climatic and soil water conditions in fayal-brezal. In this study sap velocities were measured for 2 years in two dominant tree species (Myrica faya and Erica arborea) in a ridge-top forest in the National Park of Garajonay on the Island of La Gomera. The resulted average daily stand transpiration was 1.2 + or - 0.12mm (416mmyear (super -1) ). However, the narrow-leaved E. arborea exhibited higher sap velocities than the broad-leaved M. faya. Also, sap velocity increased with stem diameter in E. arborea but not in M. faya. Nocturnal flow activity was observed throughout the year and reflected ambient conditions on some occasions, and stem water storage recovery on others. Strong stomatal control in response to increases in vapor pressure deficit was seen in both species. Fog reduced sap velocity from 10% up to 90% but no consistent pattern was found. Soil water uptake during the dry summer (246mm) was much larger than atmospheric water inputs (41mm, rain and fog). The low moisture levels in the top 0.3m of the soil had limited influence on transpiration rates indicating that vegetation must have had access to moisture in deeper layers.

In contrast to more temperate settings where there is a plethora of rainfall-runoff modeling studies, the world's tropical regions, including those of Australia, have received little attention and thus the predictive skill of various rainfall-runoff models and methods in tropical basins is less known. Using data from 105 catchments in tropical Australia, five daily rainfall-runoff models and three methods of regionalizing model parameters were compared. When locally calibrated, the more complex rainfall-runoff models performed best. However, when the models were used to predict streamflow in "ungauged" catchments the differences in model performance was negligible. The adoption of multiple criteria to select an optimal parameter set resulted in an improved ability to simulate low-flows with no loss in predictive capacity for higher flows. An "informed" transposition of parameter sets from gauged to ungauged catchments was better than random assignment of intact parameter sets for medium to high-flows, but not for low-flows. Assigning model parameters on the basis of spatial proximity outperformed physical similarity methods, particular with respect to model bias. The use of spatially distributed rainfall data did not improve model performance over the use of catchment average rainfall data. When models were locally calibrated there was a weak inverse correlation between catchment area and model performance. However, constraining donor-target parameter allocation by similar catchment area did not improve predictive capability in ungauged catchments. Although model performance was not as good as that reported for southern Australia and other temperate regions of the world, this study confirmed that modelling strategies similar to those claimed as successful elsewhere have application in tropical savanna environments.

As the Cuieiras Reserve contains pristine tropical rainforest, hydrological data collected in these catchments offers an opportunity to test the Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model's (DHSVM) ability to simulate hydrological responses, and to represent the spatial distribution of hydrological phenomena such as evapotranspiration, soil moisture and water table depth. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data were obtained from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data. We used a novel approach to produce high resolution (30m) soil and vegetation maps that enabled a representative set of relevant parameters to be acquired. These soil and vegetation maps were derived from a hydrologically normalized DEM through the HAND (Height Above the Nearest Drainage) technique, a new type of terrain model procedure. The DHSVM model was calibrated and validated using the second order watershed. To test the model's ability to represent processes at different spatial scales, the parameter set derived from the calibration was used to simulate the discharge of the first and third order streams. Model simulations of soil moisture, groundwater levels and discharge were compared with observed data and exhibited satisfactory performance overall, with the exceptions of the predicted water table depth and the underestimation of peak flows during the wet season. The results from these DHSVM runs indicate that the model is applicable to tropical forests environments (equatorial climates, lowland watersheds with deep soil), which are quite distinct from the environments for which the model was developed (temperate climates, mountainous watersheds with shallow soil). The study also demonstrated that the HAND terrain model is a useful tool for representing the spatial distributions of key hydrological parameters. Abstract Copyright (2012) Elsevier, B.V.

Analysis of the cycles indicates a strong correlation of stage change with ET demand, similar to the variation found in riparian water table elevation by previous researchers. Links between daily forest ET demand cycles and stream discharge cycles have been reported in temperate humid and semi-arid regions, but the frequent flood hydrographs of the wet tropics tend to obscure this daily signal. This study modifies and combines two established empirical methods for analyzing the diel ET signal in streamflow which lead to estimates of riparian ET derived from groundwater (ET (sub G) ) at hourly time scales and spatial extent of the riparian area. The model has a direct dependence on the estimate of specific yield, a difficult to constrain parameter, which we estimate from previously published soil analyses. For the six baseflow periods analyzed, the model estimates groundwater ET losses ranging from 1.8 to 3.9mm/day within the riparian area. These estimates are 52-81% of the total ET estimated with the Penman-Monteith equation (ET (sub PM) ). The signal of ET (sub G) in the stream lags ET (sub PM) by 1.5-3h, with apparent peak decay and signal duration lengthening during propagation. Model results indicate that the area of the riparian zone that influences streamflow by means of ET withdrawal increases with stream stage and ranges from 2.5% to 6.6% of the total basin area. Variations in the rate of change of nightly stream stage recovery suggest possible variations in the relative importance of subsurface hydraulic properties. At high stages, the rate of stream stage recovery from ET losses decreases throughout the night, whereas at low stages the rate of stream stage recovery increases throughout the night.

AN - 1038071497; 22873780 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.

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 the results of several experiments are presented. The system cooled a 27 m3 enclosed, insulated structure to -20 degree to -25 degree C using a 10-m borehole and a fan pumping the naturally cool air. The system was easy to install in a short timeframe and was low cost from an equipment and an operating perspective.

International organizations such as the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and liberal democratic states have aggressively promoted democratic values, human rights, and global stability. International law has been the instrument of choice to advance this liberal agenda. The above factors have led many to conclude that a period of relative peace is at hand, an era in which most conflicts will be local and states and international organizations like the European Union (if it survives) will pursue their own interests but avoid confrontation wherever possible. Shoring up the global economy has become the primary focus of major economic powers. War is an expensive, destructive luxury few can afford. Global order may well depend on a new balance of power much like the ones that existed for centuries before World War II. In this environment, Just War theory assumes greater relevance. In relative terms, international law is an exhausted force, and traditional models of legitimacy like Just War will fill the void, although neither will stop states from asserting sovereignty when their interests dictate. Realpolitik has replaced the idealism ascendant for the past two decades. Adapted from the source document.

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.

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.

The Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device (ROBD-2) is one of several commercial devices for generating such normobaric hypoxia. Reported here are results of a procedure to check the calibration of the ROBD-2 using methods that may be readily available in physiology and psychophysiology facilities. Methods: The %O(2) output by the ROBD-2 was measured concurrently in two ways for altitudes from mean sea level (MSL) to 34,000ft above MSL at 2000-ft intervals five times over 2d. One measurement method used was the one built into the ROBD-2, which reports the %O(2) the device is delivering at the selected target altitude. The other method diverted a sample of the ROBD-2's output gas to the paramagnetic O(2) sensor of a metabolic measuring system via its sampling line. The %O(2) measured with the two techniques was compared using Bland-Altman statistical procedures. Results: The two measurement methods produced %O(2) readings differing by no more than 0.18% O(2) from MSL to 34,000ft (from 20.95 to about 4.40% oxygen, respectively), the full operating range of the device. Calculating altitude from the measured %O(2) showed the ROBD-2 operated within its design error margins over its whole operational range. Discussion: The purpose for which the ROBD-2 is used should determine whether the reliability of its output in normobaric equivalent altitude is adequate. Differences between devices and device stability over time and with use have yet to be assessed.

There is a considerable body of scientific literature devoted to the problem, including epidemiologic and experimental studies addressing prevalence, characteristics, primary etiology, and contributing factors. It is endemic and multinational, with a prevalence ranging from 50-92%. Archetypal pain begins with flight or within hours of flight, is mostly targeted in the low back/lumbar region and/or buttocks, is transient, and is commonly described as dull and achy. A minority develop chronic, persistent pain that is variously described with dissimilar characteristics. The pernicious effects of back pain or discomfort while piloting may affect flight performance and safety, including reduced operational effectiveness and lost duty time, occupational attrition, curtailed or cancelled missions, compromised emergency egress, and performance deficits during critical phases of flight. The majority of etiologic studies have focused on the pathophysical posture adopted by pilots for aircraft control and exposure to whole body vibration. With more evidence for the former, it remains likely that both, as well as other factors, may have a contributory and perhaps integrative or concerted role. Corrective and mitigation strategies have addressed lumbar support, seat and cockpit ergonomic redesign, and improved aircrew health. Flight surgeons should be familiar with this prevalent issue and future research must address longitudinal cohort studies with clear definitions, relevant and valid exposure data, dose-response detail, and control for contributing factors and confounders.

However, further research to evaluate the relative role of combat exposures and overt physical behaviors is required to further elucidate potential associations between military service, combat deployment, and overt physical aggression. The purpose of the current study was to assess the prevalence of self-reported physical aggression in a sample of US Army soldiers using an adaptation of the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2), and examine factors associated with higher levels of aggression. A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted at a single US Army Installation within a sample of active duty US Army soldiers (n = 6,128) from two large units. Anonymous surveys were collected 6 months following deployment to measure overt aggressive behaviors, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, traumatic brain injury, and misuse of alcohol. There were a relatively higher number of minor and severe physical overt aggressive actions reported among soldiers who previously deployed, notably highest among deployed soldiers reporting the highest levels of combat intensity. Soldiers screening positive for the misuse of alcohol were also significantly more likely to report relatively higher levels of physical aggression. This study quantified overt aggressive behaviors and associated factors, showing increasing combat exposures may result in increased physical aggression. Clinicians treating service members returning from combat may consider assessing relative levels of combat.

Recently, this insect has undergone a major territory expansion into the eastern United States and has become a pest throughout much of the Corn Belt. This study was instigated to examine the population genetics of this pest to facilitate control and resistance management, as well as to shed light on the current habitat expansion. S. albicosta individuals were collected from 24 different locations across the traditional and expanded range and amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis was conducted to assess genetic variability. In total, 90 markers were analyzed, encompassing >90% of genetic variation. Gst across all locations was moderately high (Gst = 0.5032). AMOVA analysis revealed that the majority of genetic variation was within locations (54%) and among locations within groups (45%) indicating genetic differentiation of subpopulations. The Mantel test revealed no correlation between geographic and genetic distance (n = 548; r = 0.0045; P = 0.4350). Locations sampled in the eastern United States did not exhibit any reduction in genetic variation in comparison to locations sampled in the western United States, so we conclude that no bottleneck event has occurred with this territory expansion.

AN - 1035102410; 22333669 AB - After extensive literature review utilizing PubMed and Medline searches, we present a rare case of oxaliplatin-induced grade 3/4 hepatocellular injury and ototoxicity. The patient is a 46-year-old female diagnosed with stage IIIC (pT3N2bM0) adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. PET/CT prior to surgery and chemotherapy was negative for distant metastatic disease and baseline liver-associated enzymes were within normal limits. Following sigmoidectomy, patient began adjuvant chemotherapy with 5-florouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX-6). Cycle 1 was complicated only by refractory nausea. However, cycle 2 was complicated by vertigo with refractory nausea, tinnitus, and marked elevation in liver enzymes in a hepatocellular pattern. Extensive workup was negative and the etiology of her symptoms and grade 3/4 hepatocellular injury was hypothesized to be the result of oxaliplatin. Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase decreased after two additional weeks off therapy and during cycle 3 in which oxaliplatin was held. She had no evidence of 5-florouracil toxicity. On cycle 4, oxaliplatin was restarted at 50% dose; symptoms and liver-associated enzymes remained stable. However, oxaliplatin was increased up to 75% full dose for cycle 5 with reported vertigo, tinnitus, nausea, and return of elevation in liver-associated enzymes. Oxaliplatin is a chemotherapy agent widely used in the treatment of many malignancies including colon cancer. Side effects include peripheral neuropathy, gastrointestinal toxicity, neutropenia, grade 1/2 hepatocellular injury, and hepatic vascular lesions. However, grade 3/4 hepatocellular injury and ototoxicity are extremely rare with the administration of oxaliplatin. Therefore, we present the unusual chemotherapy side effects.

Characterizing surface soils for energetic contamination has been conducted extensively in the past. However, deriving mass deposition rates on soils for specific munition-related activities, necessary for determining the cumulative impact of these activities and developing range sustainability models, has been problematic. Factors include determining the energetic residues deposition area, discriminating current deposition from previous activities, separating the residues from the collection matrix, and processing the samples. To circumvent these problems, methods were developed for sampling energetic residues on clean snow surfaces. At firing points, a clean snow surface allows the collection of propellant residues from a known quantity and type of munition. Explosives residues from projectile detonations can be sampled from clean snow- and ice-covered surfaces in active impact areas. Sampling protocols have been optimized and quality assurance procedures have been developed during years of research on munition residues deposition rates. These methods are currently being used in the US, Canada, and Norway for both energetics and metal contaminants with other applications under consideration. This paper describes the current sampling protocol for clean snow surfaces and presents examples of its application.

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 ( plus or minus SE) mortality (90.7 plus or minus 3.6 %) than mite lines of Li (62.9 plus or minus 5.6 %) or Ld (53.6 plus or minus 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.

AN - 1032736054; 22717005 AB - Among other things, the wide-scale development and use of nanomaterials is expected to produce costly regulatory and civil liabilities for nanomanufacturers due to lingering uncertainties, unanticipated effects, and potential toxicity. The life-cycle environmental, health, and safety (EHS) risks of nanomaterials are currently being studied, but the corresponding legal risks have not been systematically addressed. With the aid of a systematic approach that holistically evaluates and accounts for uncertainties about the inherent properties of nanomaterials, it is possible to provide an order of magnitude estimate of liability risks from regulatory and litigious sources based on current knowledge. In this work, we present a conceptual framework for integrating estimated legal liabilities with EHS risks across nanomaterial life-cycle stages using empirical knowledge in the field, scientific and legal judgment, probabilistic risk assessment, and multicriteria decision analysis. Such estimates will provide investors and operators with a basis to compare different technologies and practices and will also inform regulatory and legislative bodies in determining standards that balance risks with technical advancement. We illustrate the framework through the hypothetical case of a manufacturer of nanoscale titanium dioxide and use the resulting expected legal costs to evaluate alternative risk-management actions.

Similarities or differences between them have not been defined fully and the terms are often used interchangeably or in association with one another. Erodibility is a property of soil that describes erosion potential. Therefore, a proper understanding of erodibility should help predict scour more accurately. In the past, researchers have looked into erosion of soils with the ultimate objective of understanding the erodibility with respect to the standard geotechnical properties. Most research has shown the difficulties associated with correlating erodibility to any one or more soil properties. The research described in this paper is mainly focused on the relationship between erodibility and dry unit weight of soil with varying fractions of fines. Soils tested using laboratory Jet Erosion Test (JET) indicated that the logarithm of erodibility makes a linear inverse relationship with the dry unit weight. In situ JETs confirmed the range of erodibilities established by the laboratory JETs. The best correlations between erodibility and dry unit weight appeared within a single category of soil as classified by the Unified Soil Classification System. In addition, it was also determined that the logarithm of erodibility is inversely related to the angle of internal friction of the fluvial soils tested during this investigation.

Nevertheless, studies have not assessed the impact of mental health training with this at-risk population. The present study evaluated the efficacy of a prototype mental health training module designed for U.S. soldiers 3-6 months after returning from combat; the module was a component of the Battlemind Training system. Soldiers (N = 1,645) were randomly assigned by platoon to 1 hour of training or a survey-only control group. Baseline surveys were conducted immediately before training; a training satisfaction survey was administered immediately after training, and a follow-up survey was administered 6 months later. Immediate postsession surveys were conducted with 681 subjects, and follow-up surveys were conducted with 542 soldiers. The Battlemind Training module received positive ratings from participants, and those who received it reported significantly better adjustment in terms of posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, depression, and life satisfaction at follow-up compared to those in the survey-only control group. Changes in attitudes about the stigma of seeking mental health care were found immediately posttraining, but not at follow-up. The findings demonstrate that brief mental health training can be effective in reducing mental health systems with at-risk occupational groups.

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. Key Points * Dissolution fingering or channeling can lead to preferential NAPL dissolution * When the correlation length of permeability is small, channeling occurs * Different upscaling approaches are used to model channeling versus fingering JF - Water Resources Research AU - Farthing, M W AU - Seyedabbasi, MA AU - Imhoff, P T AU - Miller, C T AD - Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, U.S. Army Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, Mississippi, USA., imhoff@udel.edu Y1 - 2012/08// PY - 2012 DA - Aug 2012 SP - [np] PB - American Geophysical Union, 2000 Florida Ave., N.W.

Vortical structure in the flow field is identified using a local swirl strength criterion evaluated from the two-dimensional flow field. The starting jet dipole vortices and vortices formed as the lateral boundary layers are expelled during flow reversal are characterized by their trajectory, size, and circulation. Using these quantities, a model is developed to predict the size and strength of the expelled lateral boundary layer vortices based on the inlet velocity, channel length, and width of the lateral boundary layer. The expelled boundary layer vortices are found to disrupt the formation of the primary tidal jet dipole through two mechanisms. First, because the boundary layer vortices themselves form a dipole with each half of the starting-jet dipole, the starting-jet vortices are pulled apart and advected away from the inlet mouth early in the tidal cycle, resulting in a reduction in the spin-up time and the amount of vorticity input during starting-jet vortex formation. Second, the advection of each dipole away from the inlet disconnects each starting-jet vortex from the starting jet; hence, the vortices are not fed by fluid in the jet or energized by shear in the jet boundary layers. These influences of the lateral boundary layer on the starting-jet vortices' formation and propagation are found to be a function of the channel length L, maximum velocity U, and tidal period T, resulting in a predictive value to characterize their trajectory, strength, and evolution.

Military rotary-wing (RW) operations are not immune. The U.S. Army has retired many "legacy aircraft" represented in older studies, developed new-training regimens for aircrew, continued to expand its night vision capabilities, and has prosecuted combat operations for some 10 yr utilizing new tactics, techniques, and procedures. For these reasons, it is important and relevant to re-engage the subject of SD among accidents within the Army's RW community. Methods: The U.S. Army's Combat Readiness/Safety Center database at Fort Rucker, AL, was queried for the previous 10 yr RW mishaps from fiscal year (FY) 2002 through FY 2011 FYII current through 01 July). Accidents identified as having SD as a contributing factor were selected. Results: From FY 2002 to FY 2011, there were 100 Class A through C rotary-wing flight mishaps involving SD. This represents 11% of all Class A through C rotary-wing flight accidents for this period. Of the 100 SD-related accidents, 22% involved fatalities, and 39% involved fatalities and/or injuries. The total number of RW SD-related accidents with fatalities represents 31% of the total helicopter accidents with fatalities for the 10-yr period. Discussion: This review of accident data confirms that SD remains a substantial issue for the Army aviation community and reinforces the importance and relevance of SD awareness, research, education, and training in RW operations.

This mechanical behavior may be adaptive and protective against aneurysm formation in tissues whose primary loading is pressure-based. "J"-shaped behavior arises from the synergistic interplay of two main structural proteins: collagen and elastin. An innovative electrospinning technique has been utilized to form tubular scaffold composites with structural features reminiscent of the corrugated laminae seen in blood vessels. In doing so, tubular scaffolds have been fabricated with complex "J"-shaped behavior through the use of elastic polyurethane and reinforcing poly-glycolic acid (PGA) woven mesh. In these studies, corrugated laminae were formed on the 175 mu m and 1.5 mm scale. Initial moduli were 0.5 plus or minus 0.17 MPa (mean plus or minus standard deviation) giving rise to stiffer moduli of 36.09 plus or minus 6.72 MPa at a strain of 1.31 plus or minus 0.15. Burst pressures were physiologically relevant at 3095 plus or minus 1016 mmHg. The toughness of these prototypes was 6.3 plus or minus 1.9 MJ/m super(3). The ability to employ different materials and different formation parameters utilizing this technique promises the ability to match complex stress-strain behaviors in soft tissues with a high degree of fidelity.

AN - 1017758457; 22469871 AB - Rainbow trout gill epithelial cells (RTgill-W1) are used in a cell-based biosensor that can respond within one hour to toxic chemicals that have the potential to contaminate drinking water supplies. RTgill-W1 cells seeded on enclosed fluidic biochips and monitored using electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) technology responded to 18 out of the 18 toxic chemicals tested within one hour of exposure. Nine of these chemical responses were within established concentration ranges specified by the U.S. Army for comparison of toxicity sensors for field application. The RTgill-W1 cells remain viable on the biochips at ambient carbon dioxide levels at 6°C for 78weeks without media changes. RTgill-W1 biochips stored in this manner were challenged with 9.4μM sodium pentachlorophenate (PCP), a benchmark toxicant, and impedance responses were significant (p<0.001) for all storage times tested. This poikilothermic cell line has toxicant sensitivity comparable to a mammalian cell line (bovine lung microvessel endothelial cells (BLMVECs)) that was tested on fluidic biochips with the same chemicals. In order to remain viable, the BLMVEC biochips required media replenishments 3 times per week while being maintained at 37°C. The ability of RTgill-W1 biochips to maintain monolayer integrity without media replenishments for 78weeks, combined with their chemical sensitivity and rapid response time, make them excellent candidates for use in low cost, maintenance-free field-portable biosensors.

AN - 1026863096; 22697906 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.

The granular nature [a well graded sand (SW) soil], mineralogy, reactivity, and residual lime content of the SSF media make it well suited for blending with DM high-plasticity organic (OH) soil, so that geotechnical and environmental soil improvement occur simultaneously with one amendment. The source materials (100% DM, 100% SSF) were evaluated along with 80/20, 60/40, 50/50, 40/60, and 20/80 DM-SSF blends (dry weight basis), where the DM content is reported first. Key findings include that the 100% DM had a phi CIU[macr]' of 27.3 degree , which increased to a peak phi CIU[macr]' value of 45 degree for the 50/50 DM-SSF blend. The hydraulic conductivity (k) of the 100% DM (10-8 cm/s) remained relatively constant until SSF content reached 80%, where an abrupt increase to 10-5 cm/s was observed. The field demonstration project confirmed that the DM-SSF blends could be easily blended to within plus or minus 5% of their target DM content. Trial highway embankments were constructed with 100% DM, 100% SSF, and the 80/20, 50/50, and 20/80 DM-SSF blends to modified Proctor compaction goals ranging from 85 to 95% relative compaction on the maximum dry unit weight, depending on the blend. The average cone penetration test (CPT) tip resistance for 100% DM and 100% SSF media were approximately 1.3 and 57.3 MPa, respectively. The compacted 80/20, 50/50, and 20/80 DM-SSF blend embankments were generally characterized by average CPT tip resistances on the order of 2.9, 6.2, and 11.6 MPa, respectively.

The Sediment Delivery Ratio (SDR) approach is effective for predicting the sediment yield as it moves through the stream system to a concentration point (debris basin) in the watershed. A statistical model, the Multi-Sequence Debris Prediction Model (MSDPM), was developed for use in relatively small watersheds (50-800 ha) in the Los Angeles area. In this study, the MSDPM was extended to include a sediment delivery ratio for modeling of sediment transport through the stream network in the large watershed. The sediment delivery ratio approach was implemented to express the percent of sediment yield that is delivered through a stream system from the sub-watersheds to the debris basin. After adding the sediment delivery ratio to estimate the sediment yields from large watersheds, the revised MSDPM (MSDPM-R) was calibrated and validated based on precipitation, sediment yield and fire data collected from the William Fire (September 2002) and Grand Prix Fire (October and November 2003) events in southern California. Results from MSDPM-R were compared with the available field data obtained from several debris basins within Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties. The MSDPM-R yields remarkably consistent results when compared with the measured field data.

In the wake of the latest strategic guidance from the Defense Department, Sustaining Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense (January 2012), the looming reductions of American ground forces have been much discussed. Whatever the merits of a smaller ground force from a defense or budgetary perspective, a smaller ground force is clearly inevitable, and the priority of the defense community is to develop plans to execute America's military strategy in light of this new reality.

This avalanche of literature has given students of that titanic struggle a much better perspective on the Russo-German War, a war that not only determined the outcome of the Second World War but defined the post-World War II world until the collapse of the USSR in 1991 that signaled the end of the Cold War. While this survey is not definitive, it is nonetheless an attempt to examine some of the more notable books that have recently been made available to students of that conflict. And this essay is not intended as a 'review' in the traditional sense. The author's intent is to draw attention to recent works on the War in the East, in the hope that scholars may further review them as they represent some of the finest scholarship on a conflict that remains largely forgotten by scholars of World War II.

The premise of this article is that this is a systemic problem, that although the number of offenders is low, it is too high. The excessive (and increasing) number of COs fired for personal misconduct is symptomatic of cultural issues within the Navy and of a confusing ethical context in society, combined with a failure to set effectively and uphold an ethical standard within the service. The Navy needs to make adjustments in priority, policy, training, and personnel processes in order to stem the tide of personal misconduct by leaders. As a new Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) ends the first year of his tour of command, this article opens the door for debate and reexamination of the Navy's policies, standards for command, and ethical foundations.

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.

Laryngeal airway resistance (Rlaw) and phonation threshold pressure (PTP) were hypothesized to be sensitive to changes in laryngeal function that may occur after thyroidectomy separate from changes that may occur from endotracheal intubation alone. Study Design: Prospective longitudinal clinical trial with comparison group. Methods: Eighty patients were evaluated preoperatively, and 2 weeks and 3 months postoperatively to assess voice outcomes after thyroidectomy. In addition, 16 patients who underwent a nonneck operation were tested as a control group. Maximum phonation time (MPT), mean airflow, Rlaw, and PTP were determined at two vocal fundamental frequency (F0) levels (30% and 80% of the F0 range). Results: No systematic differences were detected for MPT, mean airflow, or Rlaw as a short-term or intermediate-term outcome of either surgical group. PTP decreased significantly over time for both groups of participants and at both F0 levels. F0 range decreased significantly at the short-term postsurgical assessment and covaried with the PTP results, thereby explaining some of the variability in the PTP data. Conclusions: Aerodynamic assessment did not reveal systematic changes in vocal function associated with thyroidectomy, although PTP decreased postoperatively for both surgical groups. This may be attributable in part to a learning effect or to postoperative reductions in F0 range.

Many studies of surprise do not look beyond the opening bolt from the blue to examine the impact of surprise based on the broader strategic objectives. A comparative case study of centrally planned surprise attacks from 1950 to 1990 suggests that surprise rarely achieves strategic ends. They did not deter the targets from military action, and more surprisingly, did not contribute to less deadly wars. This runs counter to conventional beliefs about surprise, since attacks are supposed to impair a target's desire or ability to mount a military response. Instead, the most damaging surprises are followed by particularly bloody conflict, a phenomenon referred to here as backfire. The article examines a number of possible strategic explanations for this empirical pattern and ultimately concludes that behavioral decision-making processes characterized by prospect theory offer the best possible explanation. An increased propensity for risk, resulting from the losses suffered during a large surprise, drives target military reaction despite the lower likelihood of success.

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.

Some drugs with potential for cognition enhancement have already been studied for use in military operations specific to their primary effect in sleep regulation (i.e., dextroamphetamine, modafinil, caffeine). There is considerable information available on many of these drugs. However, considerations for military appropriateness must be based on proficient research (e.g., randomly controlled trial design). Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted to summarize the current state of knowledge of these potentially cognition-enhancing drugs. The analysis only included studies which met inclusion criteria relevant to military research. Results: The results of the literature review reveal a gap in research of the enhancement properties of the drugs of interest. The results yielded three studies (all of which studied modafinil) that met the criteria. The metaanalysis of these three studies revealed a relatively weak pooled effect of modafinil on some aspects of cognitive performance in normal, rested adults. Discussion: While the results of this study support the efficacy of modafinil, the main finding is the large literature gap evaluating the short- and long-term effects of these drugs in healthy adults.

All of these viruses are Risk Group 4 biosafety pathogens. MACV causes human disease outbreak with high case-fatality rates. To date, at least 1,200 cases with Delta #~200 fatalities have been recorded. Areas covered: This review summarizes available systems and technologies for the identification of antivirals against MACV. Furthermore, the article summarizes animal models that have been used for the in vivo evaluation of novel inhibitors. The article highlights present treatments for arenaviral diseases and provides an overview of efficacious small molecules and other therapeutics reported to date. Finally, the article summarizes strategies to identify novel inhibitors for anti-arenaviral therapy. Expert opinion: New high-throughput approaches to quantitate infection rates of arenaviruses, as well as viruses modified to carry reporter genes, will accelerate compound screens and drug discovery efforts. RNAi, gene expression profiling and proteomics studies will identify host targets for therapeutic intervention. New discoveries in the cell entry mechanism of MACV and other arenaviruses as well as extensive structural studies of arenaviral L and NP could facilitate the rational design of antivirals effective against all pathogenic New World arenaviruses.

The aim of this paper was to describe the incidence and pretreatment patient factors that are associated with SI when taking varenicline. We conducted a smoking cessation trial of 217 patients at a single center, all of whom took varenicline. Between 6 and 18 months after study completion (when the risk for SI became known), we successfully contacted 72 (response rate 33%) and queried them for SI during varenicline treatment. Of these, 4 (6%) had SI. Self-reported history of depression was not associated with SI (p = 0.11), but depressive symptoms at the time of varenicline initiation as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (p = 0.004) and Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (p = 0.007) were associated with SI. The Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (which is only two questions) had a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 90% to predict SI. We conclude that current depressive symptoms, not necessarily a history of depression, are associated with SI when taking varenicline for smoking cessation. Providers should consider screening for depressive symptoms before treatment with varenicline. Adapted from the source document.

AN - 1020831311; 22511527 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 C(60) aggregates on microbial growth, mutagenicity, and global transcript expression. Aggregates of C(60) predominantly less than 100 nm significantly impacted Salmonella growth at concentrations of ≥ 0.5 mg/L. In addition, C(60) aggregates also displayed mutagenic potential at concentrations ≥ 0.1 mg/L. Transcript expression analysis of S. typhimurium TA100 exposed to C(60) 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 C(60) 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.

The traditional colony-forming-unit assay for quantifying this type of virus was impractical as a screening tool due to the cumbersome nature of the setup and high costs in labor and supplies. Therefore, a smaller-scale and higher-throughput means of scoring antiviral activity was successfully developed and used to evaluate a specific batch of 25-nm silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The new assay employed a unique application of the traditional cell proliferation/cytotoxicity test that is based on the chemical 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, which produces a colorimetric readout. The AgNPs showed a half maximal inhibitory concentration against the virus of 11.2 plus or minus 0.6 mu g/ml (p<0.0001) with no significant toxicity against the cells. Because the virus was engineered to undergo only the first half of its replication cycle, the observed AgNP inhibition must have occurred at one of the early stages of infection. Overall, the new assay was very efficient and will be useful for testing different viral pseudotypes, screening different types of nanomaterials, and investigating other antiviral agents.

AN - 1022259484; 22631565 AB - Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, 2D6, 2C9, 2C19, and 1A2 are the most important drug-metabolizing enzymes in the human liver. Knowledge of which parts of a drug molecule are subject to metabolic reactions catalyzed by these enzymes is crucial for rational drug design to mitigate ADME/toxicity issues. SMARTCyp, a recently developed 2D ligand structure-based method, is able to predict site-specific metabolic reactivity of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 substrates with an accuracy that rivals the best and more computationally demanding 3D structure-based methods. In this article, the SMARTCyp approach was extended to predict the metabolic hotspots for CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP1A2 substrates. This was accomplished by taking into account the impact of a key substrate-receptor recognition feature of each enzyme as a correction term to the SMARTCyp reactivity. The corrected reactivity was then used to rank order the likely sites of CYP-mediated metabolic reactions. For 60 CYP1A2 substrates, the observed major sites of CYP1A2 catalyzed metabolic reactions were among the top-ranked 1, 2, and 3 positions in 67%, 80%, and 83% of the cases, respectively. The results were similar to those obtained by MetaSite and the reactivity + docking approach. For 70 CYP2C9 substrates, the observed sites of CYP2C9 metabolism were among the top-ranked 1, 2, and 3 positions in 66%, 86%, and 87% of the cases, respectively. These results were better than the corresponding results of StarDrop version 5.0, which were 61%, 73%, and 77%, respectively. For 36 compounds metabolized by CYP2C19, the observed sites of metabolism were found to be among the top-ranked 1, 2, and 3 sites in 78%, 89%, and 94% of the cases, respectively. The computational procedure was implemented as an extension to the program SMARTCyp 2.0. With the extension, the program can now predict the site of metabolism for all five major drug-metabolizing enzymes with an accuracy similar to or better than that achieved by the best 3D structure-based methods. Both the Java source code and the binary executable of the program are freely available to interested users.

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.

With such advancements, substantial improvements to existing standards-of-care are very real possibilities. This review will focus on regenerative medicine approaches to treating specific maladies of the bladder and kidney, including the biological basis of regeneration and the history of regenerative medicine in the urinary system. Current clinical management approaches will be presented within the context of future directions including cell-based regenerative therapies.

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.
