Experimental tests on real-scale EBF structures with horizontal and vertical links.

ABSTRACT: The paper presents data achieved during an experimental test campaign executed on real-scale one storey/one bay EBF steel structures with vertical and horizontal links. Experimental tests were executed in displacement control by applying cyclic loading histories following ECCS45 protocol and constant amplitude-imposed displacements. Data provide indications concerning the energy dissipated by each prototype during tests, the corresponding shear force - angular distortion curves of the dissipative link and, besides, the force-displacement behavior of the steel prototypes until failure.

Vertical and horizontal gene transfer tradeoffs direct plasmid fitness

Project description:Plasmid fitness is directed by two orthogonal processes—vertical transfer through cell division and horizontal transfer through conjugation. When considered individually, improvements in either mode of transfer can promote how well a plasmid spreads and persists. Together, however, the metabolic cost of conjugation could create a tradeoff that constrains plasmid evolution. Here we present evidence for the presence, consequences, and molecular basis of a conjugation-growth tradeoff across 40 plasmids derived from clinical E. coli pathogens. We discover that most plasmids operate below a conjugation efficiency threshold for major growth effects, indicating strong natural selection for vertical transfer. Below this threshold, E. coli demonstrates a remarkable growth tolerance to over four orders of magnitude change in conjugation efficiency. This tolerance fades as nutrients become scarce and horizontal transfer attracts a greater share of host resources. Our results provide insight into evolutionary constraints directing plasmid fitness and strategies to combat the spread of antibiotic resistance.

Horizontal and Vertical Integration of Health Care Providers: A Framework for Understanding Various Provider Organizational Structures.

Project description:IntroductionCurrent U.S. policy and payment initiatives aim to encourage health care provider accountability for population health and higher value care, resulting in efforts to integrate providers along the continuum. Providers work together through diverse organizational structures, yet evidence is limited regarding how to best organize the delivery system to achieve higher value care.MethodsIn 2016, we conducted a narrative review of 10 years of literature to identify definitional components of key organizational structures in the United States. A clear accounting of common organizational structures is foundational for understanding the system attributes that are associated with higher value care.ResultsWe distinguish between structures characterized by the horizontal integration of providers delivering similar services and the vertical integration of providers fulfilling different functions along the care continuum. We characterize these structures in terms of their origins, included providers and services, care management functions, and governance.Conclusions and discussionIncreasingly, U.S. policymakers seek to promote provider integration and coordination. Emerging evidence suggests that organizational structures, composition, and other characteristics influence cost and quality performance. Given current efforts to reform the U.S. delivery system, future research should seek to systematically examine the role of organizational structure in cost and quality outcomes.

Horizontal and vertical distribution of marine virioplankton: a basin scale investigation based on a global cruise.

Project description:Despite the fact that marine viruses have been increasingly studied in the last decade, there is little information on viral abundance and distribution on a global scale. In this study, we report on a global-scale survey covering the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans on viral distribution using flow cytometry. Viruses were stained with the SYBR Green I, which targets only dsDNA viruses. The average viral abundance was 1.10±0.73×10(7) ml(-1) in global surface oceans and decreased from the areas with high chlorophyll concentration (on average, 1.47±0.78×10(7) ml(-1)) to the oligotrophic subtropical gyres (on average, 6.34±2.18×10(6) ml(-1)). On a large-spatial-scale, viruses displayed significant relationships with both heterotrophic and autotrophic picoplankton abundance, suggesting that viral distribution is dependent on their host cell abundance. Our study provided a basin scale pattern of marine viral distributions and their relationship with major host cells, indicating that viruses play a significant role in the global marine ecosystem.

Experimental data from ice basin tests with vertically sided cylindrical structures.

Project description:Basin tests were performed at the Aalto Ice Tank to gather data on ice-structure action and interaction from ice failing against a vertically sided cylindrical pile. The tests were performed with a real-time hybrid test setup, which combined physical and numerical components to simulate a range of test structures in real-time. The dataset includes results from tests with offshore wind turbine structures, structural models representing a series of single- and multi-degree-of-freedom oscillators, and scaled dynamic models of the Norströmsgrund lighthouse and the Molikpaq caisson structure. In addition, forced vibration tests and rigid structure tests were performed. Ice loads and structural response were measured with accelerometers, displacement sensors, potentiometers, strain gauges and load cells and the ice-structure interaction process was filmed from three different camera angles. The resulting raw data have been categorized and stored as unfiltered time series. A total of 259 different tests are included in the dataset. The model ice formation procedure and the test temperature were aimed at creating model ice that mimics the material behavior of full-scale saline ice during crushing failure, with a specific focus on the transition from brittle to ductile behavior. The data can be used for validation of models for dynamic ice-structure interaction. The offshore wind turbine data can be used to study the effect of wind loading on the interaction with ice and the effect of the specific dynamic properties of wind turbine structures with monopile foundations on the ice-structure interaction process. The forced-oscillation data can be used to quantify the time and speed dependant aspects of ice loading. The Norströmsgrund lighthouse and the Molikpaq data can be used as a reference comparison to full-scale data on ice loads.

Horizontal spin of ratchet motor by vertical agitation.

Project description:The horizontal spin of a ratchet motor by vertical vibration is reported. A macroscopic ratchet gear is placed on a granular bed, where nearly half of the gear is penetrated in the bed. The gear and granular bed are mechanically vibrated. The gear shows a random motion or one-way spin that depend on the diameter of the granules, vibration frequency, and degree of vertical motion allowed for the gear. Even when one-way spin is observed, the spin direction depends on the abovementioned factors. Although the dependency is complicated, it is deterministic because the motion or flows of granular matter determines it. The characteristics observed in the experiments are explained by a simple model that accounts for the statistical variance in the motion of the granular matter. Extraction of systematic motion from small and non-useful motions such as mechanical agitation will be developed into energy harvest technology and may facilitate the science of a spontaneously moving system in a uniform potential field.

Does Changing Vertical Disparity Induce Horizontal Head Movement?

Project description:Theoretically, one can estimate the direction of an object that is relative to the head using vertical disparity if the distance from the head to the object is known. However, several reports describe vertical disparity as having little or no effect on the perception of visual direction. It has been suggested, however, that the visual processes involved in action are different from those involved in perception, and the effect of visual disparity on action has not been investigated in previous studies. This study investigated the influence of vertical disparity on the stability of head direction as a motor response to visual information. We presented a stimulus consisting of horizontal lines with vertical size-disparity oscillation, and examined whether the stimulus affected the subject's head movement. The results showed that the head movement in the condition of vertical size-disparity oscillation was not significantly different from that in the condition of no disparity oscillation. Our results suggest that, despite theoretical validity, vertical disparity is not used for controlling head movement.

Contextual spatial modelling in the horizontal and vertical domains.

Project description:Multi-scale contextual modelling is an important toolset for environmental mapping. It accounts for spatial dependence by using covariates on multiple spatial scales and incorporates spatial context and structural dependence to environmental properties into machine learning models. For spatial soil modelling, three relevant scales or ranges of scale exist: quasi-local soil formation processes that are independent of the spatial context, short-range catenary processes, and long-range processes related to climate and large-scale terrain settings. Recent studies investigated the spatial dependence of topsoil properties only. We hypothesize that soil properties within a soil profile were formed due to specific interactions between different features and scales of the spatial context, and that there are depth gradients in spatial and structural dependencies. The results showed that for topsoil, features at small to intermediate scales do not increase model accuracy, whereas large scales increase model accuracy. In contrast, subsoil models benefit from all scales-small, intermediate, and large. Based on the differences in relevance, we conclude that the relevant ranges of scales do not only differ in the horizontal domain, but also in the vertical domain across the soil profile. This clearly demonstrates the impact of contextual spatial modelling on 3D soil mapping.

Horizontal and vertical growth of S. cerevisiae metabolic network.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The growth and development of a biological organism is reflected by its metabolic network, the evolution of which relies on the essential gene duplication mechanism. There are two current views about the evolution of metabolic networks. The retrograde model hypothesizes that a pathway evolves by recruiting novel enzymes in a direction opposite to the metabolic flow. The patchwork model is instead based on the assumption that the evolution is based on the exploitation of broad-specificity enzymes capable of catalysing a variety of metabolic reactions. RESULTS: We analysed a well-studied unicellular eukaryotic organism, S. cerevisiae, and studied the effect of the removal of paralogous gene products on its metabolic network. Our results, obtained using different paralog and network definitions, show that, after an initial period when gene duplication was indeed instrumental in expanding the metabolic space, the latter reached an equilibrium and subsequent gene duplications were used as a source of more specialized enzymes rather than as a source of novel reactions. We also show that the switch between the two evolutionary strategies in S. cerevisiae can be dated to about 350 million years ago. CONCLUSIONS: Our data, obtained through a novel analysis methodology, strongly supports the hypothesis that the patchwork model better explains the more recent evolution of the S. cerevisiae metabolic network. Interestingly, the effects of a patchwork strategy acting before the Euascomycete-Hemiascomycete divergence are still detectable today.

Vertical structures of marine heatwaves.

Project description:A marine heatwave (MHW) is typically defined as an anomalous warm event in the surface ocean, with wide-ranging impacts on marine and socio-economic systems. The surface warming associated with MHWs can penetrate into the deep ocean; however, the vertical structure of MHWs is poorly known in the global ocean. Here, we identify four main types of MHWs with different vertical structures using Argo profiles: shallow, subsurface-reversed, subsurface-intensified, and deep MHWs. These MHW types are characterized by different spatial distributions with hotspots of subsurface-reversed and subsurface-intensified MHWs at low latitudes and shallow and deep MHWs at middle-high latitudes. These vertical structures are influenced by ocean dynamical processes, including oceanic planetary waves, boundary currents, eddies, and mixing. The area and depth of all types of MHWs exhibit significant increasing trends over the past two decades. These results contribute to a better understanding of the physical drivers and ecological impacts of MHWs in a warming climate.

Vertical Lasso and Horizontal Lasso Sutures for Repair of Horizontal Cleavage and Horizontal Oblique Meniscal Tears: Surgical Technique and Indications.

Project description:Horizontal cleavage and horizontal oblique meniscal tears have traditionally been treated with partial meniscectomy. Recent research has shown the deleterious long-term effects of meniscectomy in these patients regarding the development of osteoarthritis. Meniscal preservation is thus the preferred method of surgical treatment in patients with these tears. However, traditional repair techniques using inside-out sutures or suture anchor-based devices do not address the horizontally aligned nature of these particular tears and thus do not compress the meniscal tissue in the correct plane. The recent development of an arthroscopic suture-passing system now allows surgeons to place arthroscopic sutures in any pattern or direction. This allows surgeons to treat tears of any type with sutures ideally placed to repair the given tears. This Technical Note describes and demonstrates 2 all-suture, all-inside, arthroscopic meniscus repair techniques to treat these challenging horizontal tear types. The repair techniques are named the vertical lasso and horizontal lasso.
