The role of wild goose(Anser) populations of Russia and theTibet Plateau in the spread of the avian influenza virus

Wild birds of the orders Anseriformes and Charadriiformes represent a natural reservoir of low pathogenic avian influenza(LPAI) viruses(family Orthomyxoviridae).Wild geese(order Anseriformes)relating to waterfowls undertake extensive migration flights reaching thousands of kilometers.Isolation of the avian influenza virus(AIV) from wild geese is quite low or absent.The aims of this study are to monitor the AIV in different wild goose species,nesting on Russian territory and the Tibet Plateau and to analyze the derived data for the purpose of determining the role of these wild bird species in spreading pathogens.In our study 3245 samples from nine wild goose species in nine regions of Russia and on the territory of the Tibet Plateau(the Xizang Autonomous Region) were tested and no AIV were detected.Our study shows the non-essential role of wild geese in the spread of the AIV over long distances and reaches theconclusion that geese are probably not natural reservoirs for the primary viruses.However,further inquiry of AIV in wild goose populations is required.Studies of wild geese and AIV ecology will allow us to obtainmore information about pathogen-host relationships and to make arrangements for the maintenance ofwild goose populations.

Effect of Uncertainty of Grid DEM on TOPMODEL:Evaluation and Analysis

TOPMODEL,a semi-distributed hydrological model,has been widely used.In the process of simulation of the model,Digital Elevation Model(DEM) is used to provide the input data,such as topographic index and distance to the drainage outlet;thus DEM plays an important role in TOPMODEL.This study aims at examining the impacts of DEM uncertainty on the simulation results of TOPMODEL.In this paper,the effects were evaluated mainly from quantitative and qualitative aspects.Firstly,DEM uncertainty was simulated by using the Monte Carlo method,and for every DEM realization,the topographic index and distance to the drainage outlet were extracted.Secondly,the obtained topographic index and the distance to the drainage outlet were input to the TOPMODEL to simulate seven rain-storm-flood events,and four evaluation indices,such as Nash and Sutcliffe efficiency criterion(EFF),sum of squared residuals over all time steps(SSE),sum of squared log residuals over all time steps(SLE) and sum of absolute errors over all time steps(SAE) were recorded.Thirdly,these four evaluation indices were analyzed in statistical manner(minimum,maximum,range,standard deviation and mean value),and effect of DEM uncertainty on TOPMODEL was quantitatively analyzed.Finally,the simulated hydrographs from TOPMODEL using the original DEM and realizations of DEM were qualitatively evaluated under each flood cases.Results show that the effect of DEM uncertainty on TOPMODEL is inconsiderable and could be ignored in the model’s application.This can be explained by:1) TOPMODEL is not sensitive to the distribution of topographic index and distance to the drainage outlet;2) the distri-bution of topographic index and distance to the drainage outlet are slightly affected by DEM uncertainty.

Monte Carlo method in optical atomic force microscopy

Scanning probe microscopy(SPM)is a branch of microscopy that forms images of surfaces using a physical probe that scans the specimen.Atomic force microscopy is one of the SPM family which is considered as a very versatile tool for surface imaging and measurements.A wide range of various samples can be measured regardless of being conductive,no-conductive,in vacuum,in air or in a fluid as a unique feature.One of the most challenges in atomic force microscopes(AFMs)is to evaluate the associated uncertainty during the surface measurements by AFMs.Here,an optical AFM is calibrated through the calibration of XYZ stage.The approach is to overcome difficulties experienced when trying to evaluate some uncertainty components which cannot be experimentally determined i.e.tip surface interaction forces and tip geometry.The Monte Carlo method is then used to determine the associated uncertainties due to such factors by randomly drawing the parameters according to their associated tolerances and their probability density functions(PDFs).The whole process follows supplement 2 to“the guide to the expression of the uncertainty in measurement”(GUM).The approach validated in the paper shows that the evaluated uncertainty in AFM is about 10 nm.

The Art of Authenticity： Constantin Stanislavski and Merleau-Ponty

Constantin Stanislavski＇s Russian acting system, further developed by contemporary methodological practices, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty＇s philosophy of the body as object-subject are compared to illustrate how simple, learned techniques can assist in the production of authentic and transparent interrelational presence. Authentic presence requires three components： （1） honest exposition of a person＇s singular, essential being; （2） empathy towards the needs of other, distinct and separate from the self; and （3） mutual reciprocation, which means giving back or responding somewhat equitably to the other with whom the self is in communication, and accepting the same respondence from the other if afforded. The comprehension of Merleau-Ponty＇s ontology combined with Stanislavski＇s performance technique is uniquely suited to interpersonal communications in the ＇real world＇. Stanislavski＇s artistic vision demands an intensity of attentive involvement in order to achieve onstage authenticity. Merleau-Ponty provides supportive philosophical schematics, especially in his controversial but effective use of the expression ＇flesh＇. While this study may initially appear to focus on the artist, the development of interrelational skills is reliably applicable to anyone who desires to obtain a higher degree of authenticity in collaborative presence.

Angular Distributions for φ＇ Sequential Decays into 2（π^＋π^-）pp^-γ via XCJ

Amplitudes for φ（2S） sequential decays into 2（π^＋π^-）pp^-γ via XCJ are constructed in effective coupling scheme. A Mote-Carlo simulation is carried out to study angular distributions of the decayed particles in laboratory system. The results can be taken as a reference for measuring the decay of XCJ into at BESⅡ/BEPC in the near future.

A Monte Carlo Simulation of Radiation Damage of SiC and Nb Using JA-IPU Code

MC （Monte Carlo） simulation code, JA-IPU is used to study radiation damage of SiC irradiated to spallation neutron and AmBe neutron spectra. The code is based on the major physical processes of radiation damage on incorporation of atomic collision cascade and limited to 10 MeV neutron energy. A phenomenological relation for radiation swelling is also derived. Based on the calculation of swelling, DPA （displacement per atom）, defect production efficiency and effective threshold energy, Efff from the data of MC simulation, SiC is inferred to be a highly radiation resistant material when compared with Nb and Ni metals which are used in composition of several reactor steels. Experimental results of hill-hock density measured using AFM （atomic force microscopy）, also confirm radiation resistant behavior of SiC.

Physical Status of Soils Developed from Loesslike Loams in the Southwest of the Central Russian Plain （the Belogor＇e Reserve）

Soils developed from the Quaternary loesslike loams have been studied in the south of the forest-steppe zone on the Central Russian Upland. A polygenetic nature of the soil profile on the loesslike loams is shown. The modem pedogenetic processes in this soil ensure its eluvial-illuvial differentiation with the development of multilayered coatings in the illuvial horizon. The middle horizons in the studied soil profiles are referred to as textural （clay-illuvial） horizons. Differences in physical soil properties （bulk density, airconductivity, texture, water content, and temperature dynamics） were studied in the soil on the loesslike loam.

Remuneration Reforms in Public Sector： A Case of Russian Healthcare

In 2008 remuneration reform for public sector was introduced in Russia. Its main idea was to implement P4P principle well-known in business, including more flexible approach to wage setting. This paper presents an attempt to estimate an influence of the new remuneration system （NRS） on earnings level, inequalities and job motivation. The estimates are based on microdata of monitoring survey of healthcare economic problems conducted in Russia in 2009 and 2010. The extended specification of Mincer earning equation and probit-models were used. One could observe increasing wage rates and earning inequalities within healthcare institutions adopted NRS though worker＇s experience and regional economic differences remain significant wage determining factors. As it occurs, NRS is widely adopted by large regional and central hospitals while smaller health care institutions show less enthusiasm in implementing reform. Obviously, the larger institutions have more money and better educated administrative staff to introduce the new system. Those chief physicians who adopted NRS point out a positive correlation between earnings and individual input. At the same time, those committed to old principles of wage setting more often note declining job turnover. This latter result could possibly indicate negative personnel sorting, less productive workers tending to stay with employer who doesn＇t assess their performance. As concerns anticipated NRS results such as increasing motivation and quality of health services, the evidence is still ambiguous.

Mycotoxins in Brewing Grain Raw Material （Barley, Malt） in Russia

The levels of five mycotoxins （MT）： deoxynivalenol （DON）, T-2-toxin （T-2）, zearalenone （ZEA）, aflatoxin （Aft）, ochratoxin A （OTA） were measured in malting barley and malt samples by enzyme immunoassay （ELISA）, using test systems RIDASCREEN FAST （R-Biopharm, Germany）. 40 samples of malting barley, mainly from the Central part of European Russia and fewer from the Southern part of, and also some samples from Altai （Asian Russia） were analyzed during 2007-2011 years as well as 120 samples of malt from Russian malting companies. It was found that 17% of barley samples were contaminated with MT; in two cases （5%）, the MT concentration exceeded maximum allowable levels （MAL）. Among malt samples in more than half （in 56%） MT were detected, in 9% of samples, the MT concentration exceeded MAL （Aft-3 incidents, T-2-3 incidents, OTA-2 incidents, ZEA-1 incident）. Maximum levels ofmycotoxins in malt were found to be higher than those in barley. These facts support the idea about risky conditions during malting processing.

The Trace Element Content Observed in the Elderly People of Russia＇s North Regions

To investigate the status of mineral metabolism in people residing in huge regional centers of north-western and north-eastern parts of Russia by AES-IBP （atom-emission spectrometry with inductively bonded argon plasma）, the content of 25 elements in hair samples of surveyed people was examined. The results of the study carried out in Russia＇s north could testify to significant deformation found in the elderly people bodies＇ element profiles. The pronounced deficit in such essential elements as Ca, Cr, Mg can be considered the common north-related profile typical for the elderly people from European and Asian north. In addition, age-related formation of all the elements＇ deficit due to their risen spending at pathologies as well as the increased need in such elements as Zn, Se, Cr, Cu, Mn. The age-related excess of arsenic proved to be typical for Magadan residents. In Anadyr, the age-related excess of lead was found, in Petrozavodsk mercury, and in Arkhangelsk--boron and aluminium.

Characterization of Soil Clay Minerals of the River Nile Sediments, Sohag Region, Egypt： Decomposition of X-Ray Diffraction Patterns

Up till now all the clay mineral studies on the soils of the River Nile flood plain in Egypt could not trace the very rapid mineral change observed in these soils. So, the clay mineralogy of the River Nile flood plain soils in Sohag region, Egypt, has been studied using the method of numerical analysis of X-ray diffraction recordings （curve decomposition） as a new, powerful tool for precise mineral identification. The X-ray patterns of the studied soil clay fraction show that 2：1 clay minerals are much more abundant than kaolinite and that this clay fraction contains fair amounts of K-feldspar and quartz. XRD pattems obtained on the 〈 2 μm fraction of the River Nile sediments indicate the presence of smectite, mixed-layer illite-expanding minerals, kaolinite, mica-illite and chlorite. The decomposed XRD patterns reveal significant changes in the mineralogy of the clays. The major clay phases present in the 4-11 20 range are well crystallized illite （10 A）, poorly crystallized illite （10.2-10.4 A）, two mixed-layer I-S （illite/smectite） minerals, one with a peak near 13.5 A （rich-smectite） and the other near 11 A （rich-illite）.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis and the risk of colon neoplasia in patients with Crohn’s colitis

Background and aim:Crohn’s colitis(CC)is associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC).However the risk of colon cancer or dysplasia in CC and PSC is unclear.Our aim was to study the risk of colon neoplasia in CC in patients with and without PSC.Methods:This is a nested,case-control cohort study of all patients diagnosed with concurrent CC and PSC,seen at the Cleveland Clinic between 1985 and 2012.Forty-three patients with both CC and PSC were compared with a random sample of 159 CC controls without PSC during the same period.Results:Seven(16.3%)of 43 CC patients with PSC developed colon cancer or dysplasia,compared with 22(13.8%)of 159 controls(P=0.98).Of seven colon neoplasia cases in the PSC group,100%occurred proximal to the splenic flexure,compared with 50%(11/22)cases of colon neoplasia in controls occurring in the proximal colon(P=0.001).Based on Cox regression analysis,male gender independently increased the risk of neoplasia[hazard ratio(HR)=2.68;95%confidence interval(CI)1.30-5.54;P=0.008],as did age at CC diagnosis(HR=1.29;95%CI 1.14-1.47;P<0.001),while the use of azathioprine/6-mercaptopurine was protective(HR=0.30;95%CI 0.13-0.70;P=0.005).The presence of PSC did not increase the risk for colon neoplasia(HR=0.45;95%CI 0.18-1.13;P=0.09).Conclusions:CC patients with PSC appear not to be at increased risk of developing colon neoplasia.Among patients in our cohort with colon neoplasia and concurrent PSC,the neoplasia occurred in the proximal colon in all cases.

A stress-rifting origin of Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is a massive rift in the Colorado Plateau. How and when it developed has been debated for nearly 150 years. Most geologists believe the unusual landscape was primarily shaped by water erosion.Here we propose a stress-rifting model to provide an alternative explanation for the origin of Grand Canyon.This paper adopts a brittle–ductile double layer model to simulate the deformation and rifting of the plateau due to the mantle-melting-induced expansion. Our results show that the uplift induced by thermal expansion and its associated horizontal extension can cause open fractures that extend from the brittle surface to the underlying ductile layer in a top-down way. In addition, we find that episodic uplift can deepen and connect multiple fractures together to form a larger fracture network. Our findings suggest that the formation of the Grand Canyon might have been driven by plateau uplift and its associated rifting under crustal extension, wherein water erosion played only a minor role in shaping the course of the Colorado River. The new paradigm provides simpler explanations to some of the long-standing geological mysteries surrounding the canyon.

New ommatids from the Late Jurassic of western Liaoning, China （Coleoptera： Archostemata）

A new genus Amblomma gen. nov. of fossil beetles is erected and can be assignedto the family Ommatidae because its two procoxal cavities are contiguous and the articulations of the abdominal ventrites are abutting. The new genus is similar to Zygadenia Handlirsch, 1906 (=Notocupes Ponomarenko, 1964), Tetraphalerus Waterhouse, 1901,Rhobdocupes Ponomarenko, 1966 and Sinocupes Lin, 1976, but can be distinguished from other genera according to the following characters: the second segment of antennae is shorterthan the third one in length; the posterior tarsi with the basal segment is obviously shorter than the three following taken together in length; the antennae reach the posterior ridge of prothroax in length, and the sides of the prothroax with serrulate margin. Four new species of the new genus are described and figured: Amblomma psilata gen. et sp. nov., Amblomma rudis gen. et sp. nov., Amblomma epicharis gen. et sp. nov., and Amblomma stabilis gen. etsp. nov. A key to species within this new genus is provided. All the specimens are collected from the Late Jurassic Yixian Formation of western Liaoning and are now housed in the College of Life Science, Capital Normal University, Beijing, China.

Nomogram to predict primary non-response to infliximab in patients with Crohn’s disease:a multicenter study

Background:Infliximab(IFX)is effective at inducing and maintaining clinical remission and mucosal healing in patients with Crohn’s disease(CD);however,9%–40%of patients do not respond to primary IFX treatment.This study aimed to construct and validate nomograms to predict IFX response in CD patients.Methods:A total of 343 patients diagnosed with CD who had received IFX induction from four tertiary centers between September 2008 and September 2019 were enrolled in this study and randomly classified into a training cohort(n=240)and a validation cohort(n=103).The primary outcome was primary non-response(PNR)and the secondary outcome was mucosal healing(MH).Nomograms were constructed from the training cohort using multivariate logistic regression.Performance of nomograms was evaluated by area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve(AUC)and calibration curve.The clinical usefulness of nomograms was evaluated by decision-curve analysis.Results:The nomogram for PNR was developed based on four independent predictors:age,C-reactive protein(CRP)at week 2,body mass index,and non-stricturing,non-penetrating behavior(B1).AUC was 0.77 in the training cohort and 0.76 in the validation cohort.The nomogram for MH included four independent factors:baseline Crohn’s Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity,CRP at week 2,B1,and disease duration.AUC was 0.79 and 0.72 in the training and validation cohorts,respectively.The two nomograms showed good calibration in both cohorts and were superior to single factors and an existing matrix model.The decision curve indicated the clinical usefulness of the PNR nomogram.Conclusions:We established and validated nomograms for the prediction of PNR to IFX and MH in CD patients.This graphical tool is easy to use and will assist physicians in therapeutic decision-making.
