Rotational spectra of rare isotopic species of fluoroiodomethane:Determination of the equilibrium structure from rotational spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations
No full textSupported by accurate quantum-chemical calculations, the rotational spectra of the mono- and bi-deuterated species of fluoroiodomethane, CHDFI and CD2FI, as well as of the 13C-containing species, 13CH2FI, were recorded for the first time. Three different spectrometers were employed, a Fourier-transform microwave spectrometer, a millimeter/submillimter-wave spectrometer, and a THz spectrometer, thus allowing to record a huge portion of the rotational spectrum, from 5 GHz up to 1.05 THz, and to accurately determine the ground-state rotational and centrifugal-distortion constants. Sub-Doppler measurements allowed to resolve the hyperfine structure of the rotational spectrum and to determine the complete iodine quadrupole-coupling tensor as well as the diagonal elements of the iodine spin-rotation tensor. The present investigation of rare isotopic species of CH2FI together with the results previously obtained for the main isotopologue [C. Puzzarini, G. Cazzoli, J. C. López, J. L. Alonso, A. Baldacci, A. Baldan, S. Stopkowicz, L. Cheng, and J. Gauss, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 174312 (2011); G. Cazzoli, A. Baldacci, A. Baldan, and C. Puzzarini, Mol. Phys. 109, 2245 (2011)] enabled us to derive a semi-experimental equilibrium structure for fluoroiodomethane by means of a least-squares fit procedure using the available experimental ground-state rotational constants together with computed vibrational corrections. Problems related to the missing isotopic substitution of fluorine and iodine were overcome thanks to the availability of an accurate theoretical equilibrium geometry (computed at the coupled-cluster singles and doubles level augmented by a perturbative treatment of triple excitations)
Validity of the Novel Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging and Correlation of Cheng Lymphedema Grading for Unilateral Extremity Lymphedema
No full textOBJECTIVE: The aim was to validate the new Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging, correlate it with Cheng Lymphedema Grading (CLG) and evaluate the treatment outcomes of unilateral extremity lymphedema. BACKGROUND: No consensus has been reached for diagnosis and staging for patients with lymphedema among medical specialties. METHODS: We included 285 patients with unilateral extremity lymphedema using lymphoscintigraphy. Lymphoscintigraphy was correlated to clinical symptoms and signs, and classified into normal lymphatic drainage, partial obstruction, and total obstruction. Inter- and intraobserver reliability of Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging, correlation between Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging and clinical findings were conducted. Patients were categorized in "surgical" (n = 154) or "nonsurgical" (n = 131) groups for outcome evaluation. RESULTS: Lymphoscintigraphy found 11 patients (3.9%) with normal lymphatic drainage, 128 (44.9%) with partial obstruction, and 146 (51.2%) with total obstruction. Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging showed high interobserver agreement [intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.89 (95% confidence interval, 0.82-0.94)], and significantly correlated to computed tomography volumetric difference (r = 0.66, P < 0.001) and CLG [intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.79 (95% confidence interval 0.72-0.84)]. At a mean follow-up of 31.2 ± 2.9 months, significant improvement in the circumferential difference (from 23.9% ± 17.6% to 14.6% ± 11.1%; P = 0.03) with a mean circumferential reduction rate of 40.4% ± 4.5% was found in surgical group. At a mean follow-up of 26.6 ± 8.7 months, the nonsurgical group had increase of mean circumferential difference from 24.0% ± 17.2% to 25.3% ± 19.0% (P = 0.09), with a mean circumferential reduction rate was -1.9% ± 13.0%. CONCLUSIONS: The Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging is a reliable diagnostic tool, correlated with clinical findings and CLG, aiding in the selection of the appropriate treatment to achieve favorable long-term outcomes in unilateral extremity lymphedema

Reprocessing of eXpendable BathyThermograph (XBT) profiles from the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian seas over the time period 1999–2019 with a full metadata upgrade
Get PDFThe advent of open science and the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development are revolutionizing the ocean-data-sharing landscape for an efficient and transparent ocean information and knowledge generation. This blue revolution raised awareness on the importance of metadata and community standards to activate interoperability of the digital assets (data and services) and guarantee that data-driven science preserves provenance, lineage and quality information for its replicability. Historical data are frequently not compliant with these criteria, lacking metadata information that was not retained, crucial at the time of data generation and further ingestion into marine data infrastructures. The present data review is an example attempt to fill this gap through a thorough data reprocessing starting from the original raw data and operational log sheets. The data gathered using XBT (eXpendable BathyThermograph) probes during several monitoring activities in the Tyrrhenian and Ligurian seas between 1999 and 2019 have first been formatted and standardized according to the latest community best practices and all available metadata have been inserted, including calibration information never applied, uncertainty specification and bias correction from Cheng et al. (2014). Secondly, a new automatic quality control (QC) procedure has been developed and a new interpolation scheme applied. The reprocessed (REP) dataset has been compared to the data version, presently available from the SeaDataNet (SDN) data access portal, processed according to the pioneering work of Manzella et al. (2003) conducted in the framework of the European Union Mediterranean Forecasting System Pilot Project (Pinardi et al., 2003). The comparison between REP and SDN datasets has the objective to highlight the main differences derived from the new data processing process. The maximum discrepancy among the REP and SDN data versions always resides within the surface layer (REP profiles are warmer than SDN ones) until 150 m depth generally when the thermocline settles (from June to November). The overall bias and root mean square difference are equal to 0.002 and 0.041 °C, respectively. Such differences are mainly due to the new interpolation technique (Barker and McDougall, 2020) and the application of the calibration correction in the REP dataset. The REP dataset (Reseghetti et al., 2024; https://doi.org/10.13127/rep_xbt_1999_2019.2) is available and accessible through the INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Bologna) ERDDAP (Environmental Research Division’s Data Access Program) server, which allows for machine-to-machine data access in compliance with the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) principles (Wilkinson et al., 2016)

Habitus as in Fig. 2B. Reddish brown, head usually darker, blackish brown; mouthparts fuscous brown; antennae yellowish brown; elytra with small subtriangular yellow maculae near middle; legs reddish brown, except of paler apex of tibiae and tarsi. Pubescence of body pale, evident and recumbent. Head subtriangular, coarsely and sparsely punctate, widest across eyes; eyes prominent, 1.86 times longer than temples; ocelli distinct, distance between ocelli 1.75 times as long as distance between ocellus and posterior margin of eye. Antennae elongate, relative lengths of the antennomeres I–XI: 1.54: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1.15: 1.15: 1.15: 1.15: 1.77. Pronotum subcordate, moderately convex, widest near anterior third; lateral margins arcuate at anterior twothirds and nearly straight at posterior third; punctation and pubescence as that on head; disc with shallow U-shaped depression. Scutellum subtriangular, surface with fine punctation and pubescence. Elytra subtrapezoidal, gradually dilated posteriorly, posterior angles broadly rounded; punctation and pubescence distinctly finer and sparser than those on pronotum. Abdomen broad, widest at segment IV (first visible abdominal segment), then distinctly narrowed posteriorly. Tergites with dense, fine punctation and decumbent pubescence, devoid of microsculpture; middle of the tergites IV and V with one pair of tomentose patches, but patches on tergite V smaller and less transverse. Male. Apical margin of the tergite VIII (Fig. 3G) broadly concave; sternite VIII (Fig. 3H) transverse, apical margin weakly concave; median lobe of the aedeagus (Figs 5 D–F) slightly longer than parameres; parameres somewhat asymmetrical, each slightly narrowed in anterior half, with three long apical setae; internal sac without sclerotized spines and without distinct dark membranous structures. Female. Abdominal sternite VIII without concavity apically. In other morphological characters similar with males. Comparative notes. Lesteva concava is closest to L. cooteri Rougemont in sharing similar body size, and punctation and pubescence of the head and pronotum. These two species can be readily separated by the different coloration of the body, and especially the narrower aedeagus with longer median lobe and narrower and longer parameres in L. concava. For illustrations of L. cooteri see Figs 6A, 8 A–B, 9A–C and Rougemont (2000: figs 1, 13). Distribution and nature history. China: Anhui, Zhejiang (Fig. 24). Some specimens were sifted from leaf litter near a stream in mixed deciduous forests at Mt. Tianzhu, Anhui. Etymology. The new specific epithet refers to the broadly concave apical margin of the male tergite VIII.Published as part of Cheng, Zhi-Fei, Li, Li-Zhen & Peng, Zhong, 2019, New species and new records of Lesteva Latreille, 1797 (Coleoptera Staphylinidae: Omaliinae) from China, pp. 1-39 in Zootaxa 4560 (1) on pages 5-9, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4560.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/262725
