Hereditary sacral agenesis associated with presacral tumours
Abstract This paper reports a family in which 6 females and 3 males have sacral agenesis. Four of the female members of the family have associated presacral tumours: 1 meningocele, 1 dermoid, and 2 of an undetermined nature at present. Similar sacral lesions associated with presacral meningoceles in 4 female members of a family of 29 have been reported by Cohn and Bay-Nielsen (1969).

How women's experiences and perceptions of care influence uptake of postnatal care across sub-Saharan Africa: a qualitative systematic review
Abstract Background The burden of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality is a global health concern with the highest burden documented after childbirth in women and babies living in sub-Saharan Africa. To date, there is limited information on the quality of postnatal care and/or whether evidence-based interventions to improve postnatal care in a way that meets the specific health needs of each mother and her baby have been lacking. There is also limited data related to how quality of care (respectful or disrespectful) influences women's decision to access postnatal care. Objective To systematically review available qualitative evidence for how quality of care (respectful or disrespectful) influences perceptions and experiences of, and decisions to, access postnatal care for women living in sub-Saharan Africa. Search strategy CINAHL plus, Cochrane library, Global Health, Medline, PubMed, Web of Science were searched from 2009—2019. Grey literature was searched on Google Scholar. Selection criteria Qualitative literature in English describing women’s perceptions and experiences of the quality of care they received after childbirth and how this influenced their perceptions of and decisions to access postnatal care. Data analysis Thematic analysis was performed to extract subthemes and themes. Outcomes were themes from the qualitative data used to form a thematic synthesis. Results Fifteen studies were included with data from 985 women interviewed face-to-face across eight countries. Descriptions of respectful care included healthcare providers being kind, supportive and attentive to women’s needs. Women described preferring healthcare services where the healthcare providers communicated in a respectful and caring manner. Descriptions of disrespectful care included verbal and/or physical abuse and power imbalances between women and healthcare providers. Some women were denied postnatal care when attending a healthcare facility after giving birth at home. There is evidence to suggest that vulnerable women (adolescents; women with poor socioeconomic status; women who are HIV positive) are more likely to receive disrespectful care. Conclusions This systematic review describes how aspects of respectful and disrespectful maternity care influence women’s perceptions and experiences of, and decisions to access postnatal care services. There is a need for a renewed focus to prioritise respectful maternity care and to sustainably provide good quality postnatal care to all women and their babies in a way that meets their expectations and health needs.

Crescimento e qualidade de mudas de pinhão-manso produzidas em ambiente protegido
Devido ao recente Programa de Produção de Biocombustíveis do Brasil, o interesse comercial tem crescido em relação à produção de pinhão-manso (Jatropha curcas L.). Informações sobre esta cultura ainda são escassas, o que remete a necessidade de mais pesquisas que possam estabelecer condições de adaptabilidade desta cultura em diferentes condições. Neste contexto, realizou-se um experimento para estudar o crescimento e a qualidade das mudas de pinhão-manso, produzidas em ambiente protegido; as mudas foram monitoradas até o momento de serem transplantadas para o campo. Foi analisada a influência dos tipos e volumes de recipientes, juntamente com diferentes substratos e formas de adubação; o consumo de água também foi analisado durante o experimento. De acordo com os resultados, as melhores taxas de crescimento e qualidade de mudas até a condição de transplantio, foram obtidas com a combinação do substrato comercial, maior tubete e adubo de liberação lenta.

Can Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Identify Epileptogenic Tubers in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex? Correlation With α-[11C]methyl-l-tryptophan ([11C] AMT) Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
In this study, we determined whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a more widely available imaging modality, is as effective as α-[11C]methyl-l-tryptophan (AMT)–positron emission tomography (PET) in localizing epileptogenic tubers in tuberous sclerosis complex. Following that, coregistration of AMT-PET and diffusion tensor imaging scans apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) were measured in all tubers using a region-of-interest approach and were compared with AMT-PET tuber/cortex uptake ratios, which were used to differentiate between epileptogenic and nonepileptogenic tubers. Forty-three tubers, out of a total of 320 tubers, had AMT-PET uptake ratios greater than 1 and hence were classified as potentially epileptogenic. FA in epileptogenic tubers was reduced compared with the other tubers ( P = .03). A significant negative correlation was observed between AMT-PET uptake ratio of epileptogenic tubers and FA values ( r = –.45; P = .003). Tubers with higher AMT-PET uptake ratios corresponded well with lower FA values in tuberous sclerosis complex patients.

PROPAGATION OF RADIO WAVES OVER A STRATIFIED GROUND
The propagation of vertically polarized radio waves over a horizontally stratified medium is investigated. A general expression for the “wave tilt” is derived for the case of any number of layers with arbitrary properties in each layer. Numerical calculations are carried out for the special case of only two layers which show that the conductivity and dielectric constant variations of the lower layers will affect the magnitude and phase of the wave tilt.

Advanced 3D Photogrammetric Surface Reconstruction of Extensive Objects by UAV Camera Image Acquisition
This paper proposes a replicable methodology to enhance the accuracy of the photogrammetric reconstruction of large-scale objects based on the optimization of the procedures for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) camera image acquisition. The relationships between the acquisition grid shapes, the acquisition grid geometric parameters (pitches, image rates, camera framing, flight heights), and the 3D photogrammetric surface reconstruction accuracy were studied. Ground Sampling Distance (GSD), the necessary number of photos to assure the desired overlapping, and the surface reconstruction accuracy were related to grid shapes, image rate, and camera framing at different flight heights. The established relationships allow to choose the best combination of grid shapes and acquisition grid geometric parameters to obtain the desired accuracy for the required GSD. This outcome was assessed by means of a case study related to the ancient arched brick Bridge of the Saracens in Adrano (Sicily, Italy). The reconstruction of the three-dimensional surfaces of this structure, obtained by the efficient Structure-From-Motion (SfM) algorithms of the commercial software Pix4Mapper, supported the study by validating it with experimental data. A comparison between the surface reconstruction with different acquisition grids at different flight heights and the measurements obtained with a 3D terrestrial laser and total station-theodolites allowed to evaluate the accuracy in terms of Euclidean distances.

In-work benefits for married couples: an ex-ante evaluation of EITC and WTC policies in Italy
Abstract This paper investigates labor supply and redistributive effects of in-work benefits for Italian married couples using a tax-benefit microsimulation model and a multi-sectoral discrete choice model of labor supply. We consider in-work benefits based on the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Working Tax Credit (WTC) existing in the US and the UK, respectively. The standard design of these income support mechanisms is however augmented with a premium for two-earner households to avoid potential disincentive effects on secondary earners. Revenue neutral policy simulations show that our reforms may greatly improve the current Italian tax-benefit system in terms of both incentive and redistributive effects. Furthermore, neglecting sector-specific attributes of the various job opportunities may lead to overstated estimates of the policy effects. JEL classification I38; H31; H53

Epizoozoan Trepostome Bryozoans on Nautiloids from the Upper Ordovician (Katian) of the Cincinnati Arch Region, U.S.A.: An Assessment of Growth, form, and Water Flow Dynamics
Spatiopora Ulrich, 1882 is a trepostome bryozoan that is found encrusting living orthoconic nautiloids in the Upper Ordovician (Katian) of North America, as do several other bryozoans. These epizoozoan bryozoans are characterized by possessing thin unilaminate zoaria with rows of elongate maculae, which may be monticulate and aligned coaxially to the host growth axis. These develop a distinctive linear shape in response to growing on a conical host, rather than as a response to channelized water flow along the host. Monticules increase in size and spacing adorally until a maximum inter-macular area is reached that results in a decline in surface water flow efficiency, and a new monticular line is inserted. Orthocones normally swam forward at lower velocities that enabled lophophore eversion and feeding, which would have been impossible at the higher speeds reached when the host jetted backwards during escape. Monticules reduced drag and turbulence acting on the orthocones which allowed for more efficient venting of bryozoan macular excurrents. Characteristic elliptical monticule growth continued even after death of the motile host. A Trypanites-bryozoan-orthoconic nautiloid association shows a complex biological and taphonomic relationship between these organisms.

Localization of catalytic and regulatory subunits of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases in mitochondria from various rat tissues
Observation and quantification of the catalytic subunit C of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases by immuno-gold electron microscopy suggested a high concentration of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases in mitochondria from liver, kidney, heart and skeletal muscle, pancreas, parotid gland and brain cells. The position of gold particles pointed to a localization in the inner membrane/matrix space. A similar distribution was obtained by immunolocalization of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunits RI and RII in liver, pancreas and heart cells. The results indicated the presence of both the type I and the type II cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases in mitochondria of hepatocytes, and the preferential occurrence of the type I protein kinase in mitochondria from exocrine pancreas and heart muscle. The immunocytochemical results were confirmed by immunochemical determination of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase subunits in fractionated tissues. Determinations by e.l.i.s.a. of the C-subunit in parotid gland cell fractions indicated about a 4-fold higher concentration of C-subunit in the mitochondria than in a crude 1200 g supernatant. Immunoblot analysis of subfractions from liver mitochondria supported the localization in situ of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases in the inner membrane/matrix space and suggested that the type I enzyme is anchored by its regulatory subunit to the inner membrane. In accordance with the immunoblot data, the specific activity of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase measured in the matrix fraction was about twice that measured in whole mitochondria. These findings indicate the importance of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases in the regulation of mitochondrial functions.

Abstract CT109: Phase I study of mTORC1-2 inhibitor sapanisertib (TAK-228) in combination with carboplatin plus paclitaxelin patients with advanced solid malignancies and mTOR pathway alterations
Abstract Introduction: Pre-clinical models show that the addition of the mTORC1/2 inhibitor sapanisertib (TAK-228) restores sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy and dramatically enhances paclitaxel-induced cancer cell killing. Carboplatin plus paclitaxel is an established therapy in a variety of cancers including non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer and others. This phase 1 study (NCT03430882) assessed the safety and tolerability of sapanisertib in combination with carboplatin plus paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid malignancies enriched with mTOR pathway alterations. Methods: Eligible patients, enriched for mTOR pathway aberrant tumors by CLIA-certified next-generation sequencing, received increasing sapanisertib doses on day 2-4 of each week at 2mg (Dose level 1; 4 patients), 3mg (Dose level 2; 4 patients) and 4mg (Dose level 3; 4 patients) combined with carboplatin (AUC 5) intravenously every 3 weeks on day 1 of each cycle plus paclitaxel 40mg/m2 (Dose levels 1-3), 60mg/m2 (Dose level 4; 7 patients) on day 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Results: Among the patients enrolled, males were 8/19 (42%), median age was 59 (range: 33-74). Of the 12 patients treated with Dose levels 1-3, 11 patients were evaluable for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and no DLTs were observed. Seven patients were treated in Dose level 4 and among the 6 patients that were evaluable for DLTs, 1 patient had a DLT. Genomic alterations included PI3K/PTEN in 11/19 (58%), NF1 in 2/19 (10.5%), NF2 in 2/19 (10.5%), TSC1 in 1/19 (5%), TSC2 in 1/19 (5%), and EWSR1-POU5F1 fusion in 1/19 (5%). Of 17 patients evaluable for response, disease control rate (CR+PR+SD) was 76.4 % including 2 patients who achieved partial response. Responders were a patient with sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma harboring EWSR1-POU5F1 fusion, who remains on therapy for more than 18 months. In addition, a patient with castrate resistant prostate cancer who progressed on cabazitaxel but harbors PTEN loss and remained on therapy for 7.3 months. There were no unanticipated toxicities. Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events included anemia (4/19; 21%), neutropenia (4/19; 21%), thrombocytopenia (2/19; 10.5%), and transaminitis (1/19; 5%). Conclusion: Sapanisertib in combination with carboplatin plus paclitaxel demonstrated a manageable safety profile, with preliminary antitumor activity observed in patients with advanced malignancies harboring mTOR pathway alterations.

VOT merger in Heritage Korean in Toronto
AbstractKorean has a typologically unusual three-way laryngeal contrast in voiceless stops among aspirated, lenis, and fortis stops. Seoul Korean is undergoing a female-led sound change in which aspirated stops and lenis stops are merging in voice onset time (VOT) and are better distinguished by the F0 (fundamental frequency) of the following vowel than by their VOT, in younger speakers' speech. This paper compares the VOT pattern of Homeland (Seoul) and Heritage (Toronto) Korean speakers and finds that the same change is in progress in both. However, in the heritage variety, younger speakers do not advance the change, unlike their Seoul counterparts. Rather they have leveled off or are perhaps reversing the change, and there is very little sex difference among the younger heritage speakers' patterns. We consider possible accounts of the differences between the Seoul and Toronto patterns, building our understanding of how language-internal variation operates in bilingual speakers, a topic that has received relatively less attention in the variationist literature.

Pixel-Wise Crack Detection Using Deep Local Pattern Predictor for Robot Application
Robotic vision-based crack detection in concrete bridges is an essential task to preserve these assets and their safety. The conventional human visual inspection method is time consuming and cost inefficient. In this paper, we propose a robust algorithm to detect cracks in a pixel-wise manner from real concrete surface images. In practice, crack detection remains challenging in the following aspects: (1) detection performance is disturbed by noises and clutters of environment; and (2) the requirement of high pixel-wise accuracy is difficult to obtain. To address these limitations, three steps are considered in the proposed scheme. First, a local pattern predictor (LPP) is constructed using convolutional neural networks (CNN), which can extract discriminative features of images. Second, each pixel is efficiently classified into crack categories or non-crack categories by LPP, using as context a patch centered on the pixel. Lastly, the output of CNN—i.e., confidence map—is post-processed to obtain the crack areas. We evaluate the proposed algorithm on samples captured from several concrete bridges. The experimental results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed method.
