7% vs 74.2%) than men without MG. Among MG-positive participants, 64.4% (95% CI 58.2%-70.3%) had MRM, 11.5% (95% CI 7.9-16.0%) had parC mutations, and 0% had gyrA mutations. Among participants treated with azithromycin-based therapy at enrollment and who completed the follow-up survey, persistent symptoms were reported by 25.8% of MG-positive/MRM-positive men, 13% of MG-positive/MRM-negative men, and 17.2% of MG-negative men. CONCLUSIONS MG infection was common among men with urethritis; MRM prevalence was high among men with MG. Persistent symptoms following treatment were frequent among men with and without MG.

Recently, a mosquito-monitoring program was established in response to the potential development of autochthonous infections of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses, to identify the regional characteristics of Ae. albopictus in Suwon. Daily collections of adult mosquitoes were conducted using Blackhole UV-LED traps and BG-Sentinel traps baited with octenol, carbon dioxide or both at five sites in Suwon (Sungkyunkwan University, Manseok, Seoho, Olympic, and Jungang parks) from 1 July to 1 November 2016. Based on the ecological cycle of mosquitoes, an estimated association between the daily mean temperatures [2 wk prior to the collection date (lag 2 wk)] and relative population abundance were developed using a generalized linear model. The overall proportion of female mosquitoes collected from all traps was 88.3%. Higher female trap indices were observed for mosquitoes collected at BG-Sentinel traps. Additionally, the BG-sentinel trap was more effective collecting Ae. albopictus. Culex pipiens (Coquillett) was the most frequently collected mosquito using UV-LED traps, followed by Ae. vexans nipponii (Theobald), Ochlerotatus koreicus (Edwards), Cx. inatomi (Kamimura and Wada), and members of the Anopheles Hyrcanus Group. Within a certain temperature range, daily mean temperatures 2 wk prior to the collection period was significantly associated with a maximum abundance of Ae. albopictus (P less then 0.05) at 26.2°C (95% confidence interval 24.3-29.4°C). The BG-Sentinel trap is an effective trap for monitoring relative population abundance of Ae. selleck albopictus, and trap catches are significantly correlated with daily mean temperatures. © The Author(s) 2020.

The solution to the linear equation and the consequent solution of the considered nonlinear problem, are corrected here. The solution maintains the same character and the conclusions are the same. Numerical evaluations and graphic outputs have been modified. © The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.

Combining high-throughput genotyping and phenotyping will expedite finding novel alleles for breeding crop varieties with higher NUE. For phenotyping, digital and hyperspectral imaging techniques can efficiently evaluate growth, biophysical and biochemical performances of plant populations by quantifying canopy reflectance response. In this study, these techniques were used to derive automated phenotyping of indicator biomarkers; biomass and chlorophyll levels, corresponding to different nitrogen (N) levels. A detailed description and associated challenges and considerations required for digital and hyperspectral imaging are provided, with application to delineate N response in wheat. Computational approaches for spectrum calibration and rectification, plant area detection, and derivation of vegetation index analysis are presented. We developed a novel vegetation index with higher precision to estimate chlorophyll levels, underpinned by an image processing algorithm that effectively removed background spectra. Digital shoot biomass and growth parameters were derived enabling the efficient phenotyping of wheat plants at vegetative stage, obviating the need for phenotyping till maturity. Overall, results suggest value in the integration of high-throughput digital and spectral phenomics for rapid screening of large wheat populations for N response. © The Author(s) 2020.

We used the prism adaptation motor task (PAT) to probe specific cerebellar circuits in the disorder. PAT requires cerebellum-dependent motor adaptation, perceptual remapping, and strategic control. A failure to engage in early corrective processes may indicate impairment within either the cerebellum or regions contributing to strategic components, such as the parietal lobe, while an inability to develop and retain a visuomotor shift with time strongly suggests cerebellar impairment. Thirty-one individuals with SZ and 31 individuals without a history of psychological disorders completed PAT. Subjects reached to a target before, during, and following prism exposure, while their movements were recorded using motion-sensing technology. The SZ group performed worse on conditions consisting of adaptation, post-adaptation, aftereffects, and reorientation, thereby demonstrating a failure to adapt to the same degree as healthy controls. SZ performance remained impaired even with visual feedback and did not differ from controls at baseline, suggesting the observed deficit is specific to adaptation. Results indicate that sensorimotor adaptation is impaired in SZ and implicate disturbances in cerebellar circuits. © The Author(s) 2020.
