A404 SLEEP, Volume 40, Abstract Supplement, 2017 Results: The PTSD+ group demonstrated less SWA [F 1, 113 =5.11, p=.03] than the PTSD- group, but no group differences were observed in sigma. In the PTSD+ group, SWA positively correlated with over- all PTSD severity determined by the CAPS (r=.21, p=.05) and sigma negatively correlated with CAPS cognitive items (r=-.21, p=.05). Adjusting for age did not impact the significance of relationships tested. However, age correlated with overall PTSD severity (r=-.50, p< .001) CAPS cognitive items (r=-.26, p=.01) and SWA (r=-.48, p< .001), but not with sigma. Conclusion: SWA is associated with overall PTSD severity and age, while sigma is related to CAPS cognitive items. Although sigma did not differ between groups, other related features, such as sleep spin- dles, may be related to cognitive functioning in PTSD, and age may uniquely contribute to relationships involving SWA. More precise and objective measures are necessary to fully assess the relationships between SWA, sigma, PTSD, and cognitive functioning in military veterans.

In addition to sleep-wake dis- turbances, mTBI is commonly associated with headache and chronic pain. As the relationship between sleep-wake disturbances and chronic pain/headache may be potentiated by the co-existence of trauma, the purpose of this study is to describe the association between sleep-wake disturbances and pain in a large sample of Veterans without trauma exposure, with mTBI, with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and with co-morbid mTBI+PTSD. Methods: Veterans without trauma exposure (Control; n=309), with mTBI (n=117), with PTSD (n=130), and with comorbid mTBI and PTSD (mTBI+PTSD; n=96) were consented and enrolled from the VA Portland Health Care System Sleep Disorders Laboratory. Data collected included overnight in-lab polysomnography, self-reported sleep-wake disturbances assessed via the insomnia severity index (ISI), and the presence/severity of headache/pain as assessed via the NIH PROMIS Global Health scale. TBI and PTSD symptom sever- ity was assessed using the Rivermead Post-Concussive Questionnaire (RPQ) and the PTSD Checklist (PCL-5), respectively. Results: Trauma exposure was associated with worse ISI scores (Control=13 ± 0.3, mTBI=15 ± 0.6, PTSD=18 ± 0.5, and mTBI+PTSD=19 ± 0.5; max=26). ISI was positively correlated with RPQ scores in mTBI Veterans (r=0.65, P<0.0001), and with PCL-5 scores in PTSD Veterans (r=0.31, P<0.0007). The prevalence of head- aches increased with trauma exposure (Control=35%, mTBI=50%, PTSD=63%, mTBI+PTSD=72%). Additionally, the frequency of expe- riencing a headache >25% of days/month increased with trauma expo- sure (Control=35%, mTBI=69%, PTSD=67%, mTBI+PTSD=73%). Finally, self-reported global pain also increased with trauma expo- sure (Control=3.3 ± 0.1, mTBI=4.1 ± 0.2, PTSD=4.7 ± 0.2, and mTBI+PTSD=5.4 ± 0.2; max=6). Conclusion: The present study highlights how trauma exposure poten- tiates the association between sleep-wake disturbances and headache/ pain in a large sample of Veterans with mTBI, PTSD, and co-morbid mTBI+PTSD. Future work will explore novel biomarkers using these subjects’ in-lab polysomnography data in association with measures of self-reported and quantitative pain.

We tested the hypothesis that ear- ly-night wake therapy (EWT: sleep 3:00 - 7:00 am) vs. late-night wake therapy (LWT: sleep 9:00 pm - 01:00 am) improves mood more in antepartum vs. postpartum depression by differentially altering mela- tonin and sleep timing relationships. Methods: In 50 women: 26 antepartum (17 healthy comparison (HC) subjects, 9 DP, by DSM-IV criteria) and 24 postpartum (8 HC, 16 DP) initially randomized to a cross-over trial of one night of either EWT or LWT, we measured, pre- and post-treatment, interview-based mood assessments; plasma melatonin (sampled at 30-min intervals from 6:00 pm - 11:00 am); polysomnography (PSG); and melatonin-sleep phase-angle differences (PADs) in relation to ambient day length. Results: After EWT, mood improved significantly more in antepar- tum vs. postpartum DP; after LWT, mood improved more in post- partum than in antepartum DP. In antepartum DP after EWT, mood improvement correlated with a normalized later melatonin onset time, an earlier sleep onset and a reduced PAD between melatonin and sleep onset time. In contrast, in postpartum DP after LWT, mood improve- ment correlated with normalization and increase in total sleep time. Longer day length was associated with later melatonin onset time and enhanced mood improvement in antepartum DP after EWT. Conclusion: In peripartum depression, one night of non-pharma- cological behavioral sleep/wake intervention, targeted to specific underlying circadian rhythm abnormalities, improves mood, offering a treatment strategy to women with a potentially severe illness, con- sistent with the aims of “precision medicine.” Support (If Any): Supported by NIH grants 1 RO1 HD076476-01, R01 MH-070788, 1 RO1 AT007169-01A1 to Barbara Parry (PI) and NIH Clinical Research Center (CRC) grant M01-RR-00827.

Microwaves are frequently used to produce high density plasmas for industrial and laboratory applications, because they present several advantages when compared to radio-frequency discharges and discharges created using electrodes. Stable and reliable microwave plasma equipment based on magnetrons, and designed for automatic control of the operating parameters has already proved its efficiency in low temperature diamond deposition, exhaust gas abatement, thin-film deposition, etc. However, larger-scale processing with high density and uniform plasma is mandatory for surface treatments to get uniform etching or deposition rates. To meet these industrial requirements AuraWave, an ECR microwave plasma source operating in the 10-2–1 Pa pressure range, and Hi-Wave, a collisional plasma source for higher pressure gas processing (i.e. 1 – 100 Pa) have been designed. Furthermore, because each plasma source is powered by its own microwave solid-state generator, multiple sources operating in ...
It is a strange new world: baboons and humans have swapped places. It is like a twenty-first-century remake of Macbeth, with the earth feverous, the humans feverish and the natural world out of kilter. Or perhaps it is more like some improbable Freaky Friday 'body swap' movie from the 1980s. Either way, in the Cape, on some streets the only pedestrians are baboons. Suddenly, in a reversal of fortune, the humans are locked down, caged in, forbidden to roam freely, and pursued by law enforcement for venturing across boundaries. This is because we write this book during unprecedented times: we are all watching the victorious progression of a microbe-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Perhaps a third, or even up to half, of the earth's eight billion people are in confinement or under curfew to help stop the rapid spread of this little bit of genetic code gone rogue. The final drafts of our chapters are written on a mandatory lockdown by the South African state in order to try to contain the disease in our own country by 'flattening the curve' of infection. The virus seems to have come to us from the animal kingdom, from a so-called 'wet market' in China. First reports suggested that the trade in wildlife triggered this virus spillover, with it jumping from animals to humans. Such leaps are likely when human exploitation and habitat destruction threaten wild animals, but in point of fact domesticated mammals (our companion animals and livestock) host most of the viruses likely to be passed to us. So humans are compelled to think afresh about zoonoses in this time of crisis. 1 We reconsider our relationships with the animals close to us physically (like pets, many of whom have been abandoned or killed by their owners as panic rises, and livestock, whose mass production in industrial agriculture poses massive environmental problems) and close to us physiologically (especially our close cousins, the primates). This latter concern-the 'primate as proxy' or the 'baboon as almost-human'-has a complicated history, as this chapter will contend.
Dentro de los antioxidantes naturales encontrados en la quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) se destaca la importancia de los compuestos fenólicos, cuya aplicación en la formulación de potenciales alimentos funcionales, por sus efectos beneficiosos para la salud, hace interesante su extracción de manera selectiva. Se propone optimizar los parámetros del proceso de extracción de los compuestos fenólicos, sobre la base de un diseño experimental de 3 variables a 3 niveles. Los parámetros fueron temperatura de secado, relación Liquido/Sólido (L/S) y concentración de etanol en el solvente; sus niveles fueron, respectivamente, 40, 60 y 80° C; 20:1, 30:1 y 40:1 y 30, 50, 70% v/v. La cuantificación de los polifenoles se realizó según el método de Folin-Ciocalteu, expresando los resultados como mg de ácido gálico equivalente (AGE)/100 g de quinoa (en base seca). Se obtuvieron resultados entre 179 y 229 mg de AGE /100 g de quinoa. Las predicciones del modelo se correlacionaron con los valores ex...

Generating Peptide Mass Spectrometry Ground Truth Data Chairperson: Rob Smith Mass spectrometry (MS) uses mass-to-charge ratios of measured particles to decode the identities and quantities of molecules in a sample. Interpretations of raw MS depends upon data processing software that renders it human-interpretable. Quantitative MS workflows are complex experimental chains and it is crucial to know the performance and bias of each data processing method as they impact accuracy, coverage, and statistical significance of the result. Although existing MS workflows are ubiquitous, many practitioners encounter data processing results that question current workflow accuracy. Benchmark datasets are often used to quantitatively assess the strengths and weaknesses of existing solutions and to create and develop new solutions. Quantitative evaluations of data processing are scarce, in part because of the scarcity of ground truth data available. The properties of MS data make ground truth espec...
Gold Chalcolithic implements of the prehistoric walled settlement of Outeiro Redondo (Sesimbra) and of the Bell-Beaker burial cave of Verdelha dos Ruivos (Vila Franca de Xira).
The paper discusses a group of five gold artifacts originating from Central Portugal, dating back to the latter half of the 3rd millennium BC.
One of these artifacts was discovered in the fortified settlement of Outeiro Redondo in Sesimbra, while the remaining four were found in the natural cave of Verdelha dos Ruivos in Vila Franca de Xira which served as a collective burial site associated with the Bell Beaker culture.
The study primarily focuses on a typological analysis of the artefacts aimed at comparing these specific gold implements with similar artifacts found elsewhere on the Iberian Peninsula. Additionally, we conducted a non‑invasive analysis using a portable X‑ray fluorescence spectrometer, which determined that they are composed of over 90% gold with varying amounts of silver and copper. Such a composition is consistent with other findings from the same period and geographical region, suggesting a commonality in the sourcing of gold from alluvial deposits along the Tagus River. Overall, the findings contribute to our understanding of metallurgical practices, material culture, and social dynamics during the Chalcolithic in Iberia, particularly within the context of the Bell Beaker phenomenon.
In this study, different amounts (from 2% to 4.5%) of dietary fiber-rich cranberry pomace (CP) were added to yogurt before or after fermentation to increase dietary fiber content without changing the textural properties of the product. The addition of CP reduced whey loss, improved the firmness and viscosity, increased the total phenol compound content and the antioxidant capacity values (DPPH•, ABTS, and ORAC) of the yogurt in a dose-dependent manner, and had no significant effect on the viability of the yogurt culture bacteria. For all CP-supplemented yogurt samples, the bioaccessibility index of the polyphenols after in vitro intestinal phase digestion was approximately 90%. However, yogurt with CP added before fermentation exhibited a significantly (p < 0.05) lower degree of protein hydrolysis post-gastric and post-intestinal than the yogurt with CP added after fermentation. Yogurt supplemented with 4.5% CP could be considered a good antioxidant dairy product and a good sourc...
