Bilateral and unilateral arm training improve motor function through differing neuroplastic mechanisms: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial
No full textBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
This randomized controlled trial tests the efficacy of bilateral arm training with rhythmic auditory cueing (BATRAC) versus dose-matched therapeutic exercises (DMTEs) on upper-extremity (UE) function in stroke survivors and uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine effects on cortical reorganization.
METHODS:
A total of 111 adults with chronic UE paresis were randomized to 6 weeks (3×/week) of BATRAC or DMTE. Primary end points of UE assessments of Fugl-Meyer UE Test (FM) and modified Wolf Motor Function Test Time (WT) were performed 6 weeks prior to and at baseline, after training, and 4 months later. Pretraining and posttraining, fMRI for UE movement was evaluated in 17 BATRAC and 21 DMTE participants.
RESULTS:
The improvements in UE function (BATRAC: FM Δ = 1.1 + 0.5, P = .03; WT Δ = -2.6 + 0.8, P < .00; DMTE: FM Δ = 1.9 + 0.4, P < .00; WT Δ = -1.6 + 0.7; P = .04) were comparable between groups and retained after 4 months. Satisfaction was higher after BATRAC than DMTE (P = .003). BATRAC led to significantly higher increase in activation in ipsilesional precentral, anterior cingulate and postcentral gyri, and supplementary motor area and contralesional superior frontal gyrus (P < .05). Activation change in the latter was correlated with improvement in the WMFT (P = .01).
CONCLUSIONS:
BATRAC is not superior to DMTE, but both rehabilitation programs durably improve motor function for individuals with chronic UE hemiparesis and with varied deficit severity. Adaptations in brain activation are greater after BATRAC than DMTE, suggesting that given similar benefits to motor function, these therapies operate through different mechanisms

Data for Open water dreissenid mussel control projects: lessons learned from a retrospective analysis
No full textWe collected information on all open-water dreissenid mussel control projects that have occurred in North America through direct contact to natural resource professionals as well as an exhaustive review of published literature. We contacted resource managers and researchers within the invasive species community, including The Invasive Mussel Collaborative listserv (https://invasivemusselcollaborative.net), staff from control product vendors (i.e., Earth Science Labs, Marrone Bio Innovations, and ASI Group Ltd.), and staff within agencies who are known to have conducted treatments (i.e., Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR), US Geological Survey (USGS)), and others identified by the initial contacts. The final list was shared with the Invasive Mussel Collaborative to confirm all control projects were identified. We requested all available information on the control project from the project manager, including summary reports, raw data, personal communication, and maps. Available data were organized in a narrative format and Microsoft Access database (with CSV versions of each table in the zip file) and categorized into pre-treatment, treatment, or post-treatment activities.Dreissenid mussels are one of the most problematic aquatic invasive species (AIS) in North America, causing significant ecological and economic impacts in waterbodies where established. To date, dreissenid mussel control efforts in open water have included physical, biological, and chemical methods. The feasibility of successfully managing or even eradicating dreissenid mussels in lakes is relatively undocumented and unstudied in freshwater management literature. Additionally, control efforts are sometimes stymied by perceptions that the impacts to nontarget species will be unacceptable. The published literature evaluating both these two aspects is limited. Here, we present information on 33 open water dreissenid mussel control projects in 23 lakes across North America. Projects were categorized as rapid response eradication (n=16), established population eradication (n=8), suppression (n=3), or research (n=6).Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC) and the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR), and the State of MinnesotaFletcher Family FoundationPelican Lakes Association of Crow Wing CountyBay Lake Improvement AssociationDahlberg, Angelique, D.; Waller, Diane, L.; Hammond, David; Lund, Keegan; Phelps, Nicholas B.

Study of Some Effects of Urbanization on Storm Runoff From A Small Watershed
No full textThe study analyzes how urbanization has altered the hydrologic character of the Waller Creek watershed. There is a focus on how urbanization is expected to increase flooding in the watershed.The evaluation of the effects of urbanization on the runoff characteristics of
a small watershed is a problem that can be studied by either a short-range or a long- range investigation. Because the long-range type of investigation would require
several years for hydrologic data accumulation, it cannot provide any immediate information on the changes in watershed behavior arising as a result of urbanization. A short-range investigation, however, based on synthetic evaluation of present data would provide immediate answers. It is in the realm of this short-range objective that this study of a small urban watershed is directed.
This study was made to evaluate the various effects of urbanization on the hydrologic characteristics of a small urban watershed located within Austin, Texas. A linear regression analysis o f data from twenty-four urban and eleven rural watersheds was used to derive equations which would evaluate the past rural conditions and predict future
urban conditions for the Waller Creek watershed. The Waller Creek watershed contains two streamflow stations. One i s located at 38th Street and the other at 23rd Street, gaging areas of 2.31 square miles and 4.13 square miles respectively. The watershed above 38th Street is relatively undeveloped when compared to the lower portion of the watershed located between the two stations. The lower portion has extensive residential development and some channel improvement. Results indicate that urban development
in the Waller Creek watershed has caused extensive changes in the discharge hydrograph and runoff for the watershed. Prediction of the effects of future development indicate the same trend. The time sequence of the discharge hydrograph will be shortened, the peak discharge will be increased and the unit (in/mi^2) will be increased.Waller Creek Working Grou
