Abstract:
The accuracy of a 1-mile walking test to estimate aerobic power was assessed in a group of 28 sedentary elderly women (age = 73.5 ±0.8 yrs; body mass = 66.0 ±2.2 kg). Subjects were given the walk test and a graded maximal treadmill test for VO2peak at baseline and then were randomly assigned to either a walking group or a mild calisthenics control group for 12 weeks. Both the treadmill test and the walk test were re-administered at 5 weeks and at 12 weeks. The data suggest that regression approaches underestimate measured VO2peak by 17% in sedentary elderly women, but that accuracy is much improved after 5 weeks of brisk walking. Measurements at 12 weeks demonstrated even closer approximations of the laboratory measurement of VO2peak for the walking group. The 1-mile walk test underestimated VO2peak for the calisthenics group by 11% at the end of the 12 weeks. It was concluded that the 1-mile walk test underestimates measured VO2peak in elderly women unless they are accustomed to brisk walking.

Abstract:
Abstract Transportation costs of wood chips may be a significant component of the total wood chip procurement costs of a plant. Transportation costs may influence plant location and define the radius of the wood procurement area. A survey of 80 trucking companies in the southeast that haul wood chips indicated that haul costs, on a cost per ton-mile basis, were not linear with respect to distance. Haul costs for wood chips ranged from $0.139/per ton-mile for haul distances of 1 to 20 miles, to $0.074/ton-mile for haul distances greater than 60 miles. Most wood chips were transported by either contract or private motor carriers. There were no significant difference between haul costs for common, contract, and private motor carriers. The variation in haul costs of private motor carriers was smaller than that of contract or common motor carriers. South. J. Appl. For. 12(4):267-269.

Abstract:
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the influence of ingesting a carbohydrate-electrolyte (CHO-E) beverage ad libitum or as a prescribed volume on 10-mile run performance and gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort. Nine male recreational runners completed the 10-mile run under the following 3 conditions: no drinking (ND; 0 ml, 0 g CHO), ad libitum drinking (AD; 315 ± 123 ml, 19 ± 7 g CHO), and prescribed drinking (PD; 1,055 ± 90 ml, 64 ± 5 g CHO). During the AD and PD trials, drinks were provided on completion of Miles 2, 4, 6, and 8. Running performance, speed (km/hr), and 10-mile run time were assessed using a global positioning satellite system. The runners’ ratings of perceived exertion and GI comfort were recorded on completion of each lap of the 10-mile run. There was a significant difference (p < .10) in performance times for the 10-mile race for the ND, AD, and PD trials, which were 72:05 ± 3:36, 71:14 ± 3:35, and 72:12 ± 3.53 min:s, respectively (p = .094). Ratings of GI comfort were reduced during the PD trial in comparison with both AD and ND trials. In conclusion, runners unaccustomed to habitually drinking CHO-E beverages during training improved their 10-mile race performance with AD drinking a CHO-E beverage, in comparison with drinking a prescribed volume of the same beverage or no drinking.

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board 1842, no. 1 (January 2003): 99–108. http://dx.doi.org/10.3141/1842-12.

Full text
Abstract:
Heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) classifications used for modeling emissions in the MOBILE6 model have been expanded from 2 classifications in MOBILE5 to 16 classifications in MOBILE6. The new classifications are based on vehicle weight and fuel used (i.e., gasoline or diesel). The heavier vehicles have higher emissions, so it is important to use correct vehicle weight distributions. Tennessee’s HDV registration data show a distribution very similar to the national defaults, but with more vehicles in the heaviest weight category (HDV8B). More than 50% of Tennessee’s HDVs fall in the lightest vehicle category (HDV2B). The biggest difference in truck characteristics in Tennessee versus national defaults in MOBILE6 is the higher HDV fraction on Tennessee rural Interstates. Also, the ratio of single-unit trucks to trailer trucks varies considerably by facility type. The emissions of volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide per mile of travel of gasoline-fueled single-unit trucks can be 2.5 to 5 times higher than those of heavy-duty diesel trailer trucks. The emissions of nitrogen oxides per mile of travel of diesel-fueled tractor–trailer trucks can be five times higher than those of gasoline-fueled single-unit trucks. For these reasons it is important to accurately characterize the HDV fleet. The characteristics of the Tennessee HDV fleet are compared with national defaults used in MOBILE6, and a new scheme for classifying vehicles by road type is presented.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify the most accurate predictor of VO2max from a variety of running tests. 32 young adult male undergraduates of (mean ± SE) age 20.14 ± 0.34 yr., height 179.4 ± 1.8 cm, weight 73.7±2.8 kg, and VO2max 57.89 ± 1.1 ml · kg−1 · min.−1 were randomly tested on four different predictive VO2max running tests to assess their actual VO2max, based on a continuous, progressive treadmill protocol and obtained via gas analysis. The four tests consisted of a treadmill jogging test, 1.5 mile run, Cooper's 12-min. run, and the 20-m progressive shuttle-run test. An analysis of variance applied to means indicated significance. Post hoc analysis between the means with correction by Scheffé showed significant difference between the predictive submaximal treadmill jogging test and the 12-min. run but no other difieren .es. The strength of the relationship between predictive tests and VO2max varied, wit1 the 12-min run having the highest correlation of .87, followed by the 1.5 mile rur .87, 20-m progressive shuttle run .82, and the treadmill jogging test .50. The 12-min. run had the highest correlation of all tests with VO2max in young men, with active to trained levels of fitness. The 1.5 mile and 20-m shuttle run also provided accurate predictions of VO2max and so should be used for an accurate prediction of young men's VO2max.

Abstract:
IntroductionThe 1.5-mile best-effort run is used in the British Army to assess the fitness of all recruits and trained service personnel by means of the physical fitness assessment (PFA). The 1.5-mile run is a basic measure of fitness and slower times have been associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal injury (MSkI), particularly during this early stage of training. The aim of this study was to establish whether 1.5-mile run times were associated with subsequent MSkIs among female recruits during their 14-week basic training.MethodRetrospective data were analysed from female recruits who had undertaken basic military training between June 2016 and October 2017. This included retrieving the results of their week 1 PFA; recording the type, cause and week of MSkI if they had sustained one; and noting down their outcome from basic training. Run times were statistically analysed in relation to MSkI occurrence of 227 female recruits using binomial logistic regression with an accepted alpha level of p value <0.05.Results1.5-mile run time predicted risk of MSkI (χ2 (1)=12.91, p<0.0005) in female recruits. The mean run time for injury-free recruits was faster than for injured recruits (12 min 13 s compared with 12 min 43 s). Every 10 s increase in run time was associated with an 8.3% increase in risk of injury.ConclusionSlower 1.5-mile best-effort run time, as a surrogate of aerobic fitness, is associated with increased risk of MSkI in female recruits during basic training.

December 17, 1903, Marked a Mile-stone in history when the Wright brothers launched the first powered flight. This initial flight lasted only 12 seconds and traveled only 120 feet. However, one of the later flights that day produced better results, traveling 852 feet in 59 seconds, and was met with great enthusiasm for the possibility of sustained controlled travel. Since that momentous day, flight has changed dramatically, with jets cruising at speeds around 600 miles per hour (mph) at altitudes around 40,000 feet.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the interplay between configuration dimensions (network structure, network flow, relationship governance, and service architecture) of last-mile supply networks (LMSN) and the underlying mechanisms influencing omnichannel performance. Design/methodology/approach Based on mixed-method design incorporating a multiple embedded case study, mapping, survey, and archival records, this research involved undertaking in-depth within- and cross-case analyses to examine seven LMSNs, employing a configuration approach. Findings The existing literature in the operations management (OM) field was shown to provide limited understanding of LMSNs within the emerging omnichannel context. Case results suggest that particular configurations have intrinsic capabilities, and that these directly influence omnichannel performance. The study further proposes a taxonomy of LMSNs comprising six forms, with two hybrids, supporting the notion of equifinality in configuration theory. Propositions are developed to further explore interdependencies between configurational attributes, refining the relationship between LMSN types, and factors influencing omnichannel performance. Practical implications The findings provide retailers with a set of design parameters for the (re)configuration of LMSNs and facilitate performance evaluation using the concept of fit between configurational attributes. The developed model sheds light on the consequential effects when certain configurational attributes are altered, preempting managerial attention. Given the global trend in urbanization, improved LMSN performance would have positive societal impacts in terms of service and resource efficiency. Originality/value This is one of the first studies in the OM field to critically analyze LMSNs and their behaviors in omnichannel retailing. Additionally, the paper offers several important avenues for future research.

Abstract:
Purpose Increasingly, the logistics industry offers innovative solutions that interact with end-consumers directly. The purpose of this paper is to examine the consumer participation behaviour in co-creating logistics service values, using self-collection via automated parcel station as an example. Built on the synthesised insights from logistics studies and behavioural theories on consumers’ attitude and affect, the effect of cognitions (what consumers think) and affects (what consumers feel) are investigated. Design/methodology/approach A total of 500 valid responses are collected from an online panel of respondents and the data are analysed using exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. Findings Consumers’ affects towards participation are stronger motivations that not only intrinsically motivate consumers to participate but also exert an indirect influence via consumers’ cognitions. Practical implications To elicit consumers’ affections, it is critical to create enjoyable (enjoyment), assuring (assurance) and secure (security) service experiences. On the other hand, an overly straightforward service offering (in terms of cognitive functionality), void of the aforementioned experiences, may discourage consumers from participation. Originality/value This research unveils consumer participation in co-creating logistics service values, contributing to studies on the emerging phenomenon of consumer logistics. A rebalancing of the logistics research from a utility-creation perspective to an experience-creation perspective has been advocated.

Effect of Wearing the Cosmed K4b2Metabolic System on 1 Mile Walking Performance in Older AdultsThis study examined in older adults the effects of wearing the Cosmed K4b2 metabolic system with face mask during the 1-mile Rockport Fitness Walking Test (RFWT). A randomised cross-over design was used (13 males, 12 females, age: 67±4 (yrs). Walking time, walking speed and final heart rate were recorded and predicted VO2max calculated. Participants had a constant walking speed during the RFWT (P = 0.24) not influenced by wearing the Cosmed K4b2. Using Bland-Altman analysis, bias for walking time, heart rate and predicted VO2max was not significant. The predicted VO2max wearing the Cosmed K4b2 was within 0.05±0.36 L·min-1. Wearing the Cosmed K4b2 metabolic system with face mask did not influence 1-mile walking performance in older adults. This observation allows the Cosmed K4b2 metabolic system to be used during walking tests in older adults to examine metabolic and physiologic adaptations by controlled exercise interventions.

Abstract:
Following upon the Third Conference on the Law of the Sea begun in 1973, the principal maritime States of the world assumed exclusive national jurisdiction over a 12- mile zone extending from their coastlines and a 188-mile economic zone beyond territorial waters. Together they constitute the more familiarly referred to « 200-mile zone ». This new practice radically changed the political geography of the oceans, lessened the area within which the freedom of the seas exists, diminished by more than a third the surface area of the high seas and dealt a heavy blow to the fishing xpeditions of foreign trawlers. Canada is one of the principal users and one of the most vigourous defenders of the 200-mile principle for geographical reasons as much as for economic or political ones. The excessive exploitation of the seabed has been felt to be a threat for a portion of the population of the Eastern part of Canada. A firm policy criticized for being somewhat unilateral has enabled Canada to eliminate foreign fleets from its 200-mile zone. Over a period of 30 years the International Commission for North-West Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF) attempted to introduce a positive international cooperation in order to eliminate the anarchic excessive exploitation. It was replaced in 1979 by the North-West Atlantic Fisheries Organization. A major dispute exists between France and Canada with respect to the delimitation of the economic zone of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, French land since 1604. More generally, the question is posed as to how long the 200-mile principle will prevail in this new political geography of the oceans.

AbstractIntroduction:Few prearranged events provide better opportunities for emergency health system coordination and planned disaster management than does medical coverage of a major city marathon. No guidelines exist as to the appropriate level of care that should be provided for such an event.Methods:The medical coverage for 2,900 marathon runners and an estimated 500,000 spectators along a 26.2-mile course over city streets for the 1986 Pittsburgh Marathon was examined prospectively. Support groups included physicians, nurses, and medical students from area hospitals and emergency departments and podiatrists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and massage therapists from the Pittsburgh area. Emergency medical services were provided by city and county advanced life support (ALS) and basic life support (BLS) units, the American Red Cross, and the Salvation Army. A total of 641 medical volunteers participated in the coverage. Data were collected by volunteers as to acute medical and sports medical complaints of all patients, their vital signs, and the treatment provided. Medical care was provided at 20 field aid-stations along the race route (including a station every mile afier the 12-mile mark, and at four stations at the finish line).Results:Race day weather conditions were unusually warm with a high temperature of 86°F (30°C), relative humidity of 64%, partly sunny with little ambient wind, and a high wet bulb-globe temperature of 78°F (25.6°C). Records were obtained on 658/2,900 (25%) runner-patients of which 52 (8%) required transportation to area hospitals after evaluation at aid-stations: three were admitted to intensive care units. Analysis showed that 379/658 (58%) of the patients were treated at the finish line medical areas, and of the remaining 279 patients treated on the course, 218/279 (78%) were seen at seven, mile-aid-stations between 16.2 and 22.8 miles. The conditions of heat and humidity constitute a near “worst-case” scenario and the numbers of medical personnel that should be available to deliver acute care of hyperthermia/hypothermia and fluid/electrolyte disorders are recommended. Also it is recommended that approximately 50% of medical personnel and equipment should be deployed in the finish line area and that 80% of the remaining resources on the race course be deployed in aid-stations located every mile between miles 16 and 23.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To present an 8-year (1985–1992) cumulative analysis of the 12 743 calls received by the Medication Information Line for the Elderly (MILE), a consumer-oriented drug information service. DESIGN: Data on all calls received by MILE were documented using a standard format. Certain calls were selected by the pharmacist for follow-up based on the nature and predicted severity of the inquiry. SETTING: MILE is located within the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Manitoba and staffed by experienced, practicing pharmacists. Calls were received from the elderly and their care providers. Calls were initially taken on a local Winnipeg line, although in 1987 a toll-free number was made available to rural Manitoba residents. RESULTS: The majority of the calls received by MILE were from women aged 65 years or older who accessed MILE on their own initiative. Ninety-one percent of the calls were rated as not serious. Only 6% of calls were from outside Winnipeg. Although 94% of the older consumers reported having a regular pharmacist, they commonly never thought of using their pharmacist for inquiries. The drugs cited most often by consumers, nurses, physicians, and dentists were the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents, cardiac drugs, diuretics, antihypertensives, benzodiazepines, and antidepressants. The types of inquiries most frequently involved adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, and therapeutic use. The drugs cited and inquiries made by pharmacist callers were more diverse than those of consumers and other healthcare professionals. CONCLUSIONS: Many older drug consumers have medication information needs that are not being met. Since a large proportion of the callers appeared to be self-motivated women, MILE may not be accessing all older consumers in need of information. This analysis also suggests that many older consumers are not aware that the pharmacist is available and capable of providing drug information.

From the present-day perspective Harlem Renaissance poetry represents an epoch-making contribution by America's black authors to the mainstream literature. However, in the post World War 1 era black authors struggled for recognition in their homeland. The publication of a German anthology Afrika singt in the late 1920s agitated Europe as well as the German-speaking authors in Slovenia. Mile Klopčič, a representative of the poetry of Social Realism, translated a handful of Har­ lem Renaissance poems into Slovene using, except in two cases, the German anthology as a source text. His translations are formally accomplished but fail to reproduce the cultural significance of the Harlem Renaissance poetry.

AbstractHypothesis:Paramedics accurately estimate the closest trauma hospital for ground transport.Population:Ground ambulance scene transports of trauma system patients to six participating trauma hospitals in Multnomah County, Oregon from 1 January 1986 to 1 January 1987 were studied. Transports involving multiple patients or pediatric patients were excluded.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on consecutive patient transports to be taken to the closest trauma hospital as required by protocol. The availability of each hospital to receive trauma patients was monitored continuously by a central communications facility. Paramedics were provided hospital availability data at the time of patient system entry. When several hospitals were available, the paramedics were required by protocol to select the “closest” hospital. Subsequently, the vector distance from the trauma site to each of the available hospitals was measured using a grid map. This method was validated by odometer measurement (r2 = 0.924). Chisquare analysis was used to analyze hospital bypasses to specific hospitals.Results:Of the 1193 eligible patients entered into the trauma system, 160 (13%; 95% CI = 11–15%) transports bypassed the closest available hospital for a receiving hospital ≥1 mile more distant. There were 11 (1%; 0–2%) patients transported to a hospital more than five miles more distant. Of the 132 patients with a trauma score (TS) <12, 15 (11%; 6–18%) were taken to a hospital one mile or further beyond the closest hospital. None (0%; 0–2%) were transported more than five miles past the closest hospital. Of the six hospitals, three were bypassed more than one mile significantly more often then they received bypass patients. One hospital received such patients four times more than it was bypassed (p <.001).Conclusion:While paramedics generally can identify the closest hospital for trauma patient transport, some systematic hospital bypass errors occur. If a community wants assurance of an equitable patient distribution among participating trauma hospitals and assignment of the closest geographic hospital for injured patients, then map vector distance determination to identify the closest available hospital should supplement paramedic dispatching.

Abstract Browsing preferences by white-tailed deer were evaluated for 6 tree species in northeastern Connecticut. Deer density averaged 23/mile². Deer exhibited no species-specific preferences for seedlings greater than 19 in. For seedlings less than 19 in., hemlock and black birch were preferred. Red maple, sugar maple, and white pine seedlings were avoided. Red oak seedlings were neither preferred nor avoided. A much higher proportion of seedlings greater than 19.7 in. in height was browsed, regardless of species. Browsing preferences for species in the smaller seedling class, combined with a lack of preference for species in the larger class may result in future stands with less diverse tree species composition. Deer densities in excess of 23/mile² may be incompatible with regeneration of diverse forests in southern New England. North. J. Appl. For. 12(3):115-120.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Coxiella burnetii is a highly infectious obligate intracellular bacterium. The phase I form is responsible for Q fever, a febrile illness with flu-like symptoms that often goes undiagnosed. The attenuated C. burnetii phase II (having a truncated “O” chain of its lipopolysaccharide) does not cause disease in immunocompetent animals; however, phase II organisms remain infectious, and we questioned whether disease could be produced in immunodeficient mice. To study C. burnetii phase II infections, febrile responses in gamma interferon knockout (IFN-γ−/−), BALB/c, Toll-like receptor 2 knockout (TLR2−/−), and C57BL/6 mice were measured using the Nine Mile phase II (NMII) strain of C. burnetii. Immunocompetent mice showed minimal febrile responses, unlike those obtained with IFN-γ−/− and TLR2−/− mice, which showed elevated rectal temperatures that were sustained for ∼15 days with transient increases in splenic weights. Reinfection of IFN-γ−/− and TLR2−/− mice with C. burnetii NMII 30 days after primary infection protected mice as evident by reduced febrile responses and a lack of splenic inflammation. Although minimal detection of Coxiella in TLR2−/− mouse spleens was observed, greater colonization was evident in the IFN-γ−/− mice. Cytokine analysis was performed on infected peritoneal macrophages isolated from these mice, and immunocompetent macrophages showed robust tumor necrosis factor alpha, IFN-γ, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) but no interleukin-12 (IL-12) responses. IFN-γ−/− macrophages produced elevated levels of IL-6, IL-10, and IL-12, while TLR2−/− macrophages produced GM-CSF, IL-12, and minimal IL-10. To distinguish immunity conferred by innate or adaptive systems, adoptive transfer studies were performed and showed that immune lymphocytes obtained from immunocompetent mice protected against a subsequent challenge with NMII, indicating that adaptive immunity mediates the observed protection. Thus, our data show that NMII is capable of eliciting disease in immunocompromised mice, which may help in evaluation of vaccine candidates as well as the study of host-pathogen interactions.

Abstract:
Subject area The subject areas are social entrepreneurship and marketing in social enterprises. Study level/applicability This study is applicable to undergraduate or MBA-level courses; possibly executive programs as well. Case overview Farm Shop was established in 2012 as a not-for-profit trust, with an aim of developing a distribution platform for poor, rural communities across sub-Saharan Africa so that smallholder farmers could get the farm inputs and services needed to increase their productivity and income. Attempting to reach scale, this social enterprise is in the process of building a micro-franchise network. Unlike franchises in industrialized countries where the franchisor starts with a vetted and replicable turnkey business, Farm Shop was created from scratch. After prototyping the shop concept and validating the business model in Kiambu County of Kenya, Farm Shop has 10 fully operational shops and is keen to start its growth phase, aiming to have 120 shops in its network within the next 12-18 months. It is only at that point that break-even will be achieved. Recognizing the key role of marketing in Farm Shop’s growth efforts, the founders are now focused on finalizing their go-to-market (GTM) strategy. Having initiated and measured the results of a number of marketing activities over the past six months, it is now time to decide which of these activities should be incorporated into their micro-franchise system. The management team knows that to provide advice, training and quality products to farmers, they first needed to develop awareness, interest and desire for what Farm Shop has to offer, not to mention the need to gain the farmers’ trust. Fundamentally, farmers needed to be convinced that Farm Shop can help them improve their productivity and income. Expected learning outcomes The study enables to gain an overall understanding of the range of challenges and opportunities associated with establishing a micro-franchise in an emerging market context; to gain a better understanding of social marketing, including the four types of behavioral influence it attempts to achieve and the similarities and differences between social and commercial marketing; to introduce the “theory of change” concept, providing a framework for understanding how and why change will occur; to introduce the concept of business models and explore the differences between “traditional” and “social entrepreneurship” business models; to understand how a competitive advantage is created; to introduce basic marketing concepts and the GTM concept and its role and application in a business model for a new social enterprise and to understand how marketing contributes to the social enterprise’s strategic goals and sustainability, thereby gaining an understanding of how “social marketing” is differentiated from commercial marketing.

Abstract:
The Daily Mile (TDM) is a school-based physical activity intervention encompassing a 15-minute run at least three times per week. This study aimed to determine (1) the effects of performing TDM for 12 weeks on Dutch primary school children’s aerobic fitness levels and (2) if additional personal support for teachers impacted the effectiveness of TDM. Nine Dutch primary schools (n = 659 children, grades 5–8) were allocated to a control (no TDM), intervention (12 weeks TDM) or intervention-plus (12 weeks TDM, additional personal support) group. The Shuttle Run Test (SRT) was used to assess aerobic fitness at baseline and follow-up. Data were analyzed using a multiple-imputed dataset and multilevel linear regression models to account for the clustering of students within classes and classes within schools. The regression analyses were adjusted for sex and age. Compared with the control group, significant intervention effects of TDM on SRT score were observed for the intervention group (β = 1.1; 95% CI: 0.8; 1.5) and the intervention-plus group (β = 0.6; 95% CI 0.3; 0.9). Additional personal support had no impact on the effectiveness of TDM. These results suggest that performing TDM at least three times per week for approximately 12 weeks increases primary school children’s aerobic fitness. Additional personal support did not improve the effectiveness of TDM on aerobic fitness within this period. These results contribute to the body of evidence surrounding TDM, but further research is needed regarding long-term implementation of TDM.

Abstract:
The importance of the customary regimes of internal waters for the delimitation of the other coastal state maritime zones is analyzed. The rules of baselines in the 1958 and 1982 Conventions on the Law of the Sea are not exhaustive. They are supplemented by the customary regimes of internal waters. These regimes contain few and very vague restrictions on coastal state sovereignty to delimit areas of adjacent sea as internal waters. No definite maximum mile limit has been agreed upon. The outer limits of the customary regimes are baselines for the other maritime zones. Consequently the coastal state can extend the 12, 24, and 200 miles zones based on these customary regimes with wide-ranging legal consequences. The practical result of constructive application of these regimes is-shown by possible extensions of the present Danish maritime zones.

Abstract:
Mile-a-minute (Persicaria perfoliata (L.) H. Gross; family: Polygonaceae) is an exotic annual barbed vine that has invaded the northeastern USA and Oregon (2). In July of 2010, in a search for potential biological control pathogens (3), diseased P. perfoliata plants were found along the Firtina River near Ardesen, Turkey. Symptoms were irregular dark necrotic lesions along leaf margins and smaller irregular reddish lesions on the lamellae of leaves. Symptomatic leaves were sent to the quarantine facility of FDWSRU, USDA, ARS in Ft. Detrick, MD, for pathogen isolation and testing. Symptomatic leaves were excised, surface disinfested in 0.615% NaOCl, and then incubated for 2 to 3 days in sterile moist chambers at 20 to 25°C. Numerous waxy sub-epidermal acervuli with 84-μm-long (mean) black setae were observed in all of the lesions after 2 to 3 days of incubation. Conidiophores within acervuli were simple, short, and erect. Conidia were one-celled, hyaline, guttulate, subcylindrical, straight, 12.3 to 18.9 × 3.0 to 4.6 μm (mean 14.3 × 3.7 μm). Pure cultures were obtained by transferring conidia onto 20% V-8 juice agar. Appressoria, formed 24 h after placing conidia on dialysis membrane over V-8 juice agar, were smooth, clavate, aseptate, regular in outline, and 6.4 to 10.0 × 5.1 to 7.2 μm (mean 7.5 × 6.6 μm). These characters conformed to the description of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. (1). A voucher specimen was deposited in the U.S. National Fungus Collections (BPI 882461). Nucleotide sequences for the internal transcribed spacers (ITS 1 and 2), directly sequenced from ITS 1 and ITS 4 standard primers (4), were deposited in GenBank (JN887693). A comparison of these sequences with ITS 1 and 2 sequences of the C. gloeosporioides epitype IMI 356878 (GenBank EU 371022) (1) using BLAST found 479 of 482 identities with no gaps. Conidia from 14-day-old cultures, in an aqueous suspension of 1.0 × 106 conidia ml–1, were spray-inoculated onto healthy stems and leaves of twenty 30-day-old P. perfoliata plants. Another 10 plants were not inoculated. All plants were placed in a dew chamber at 25°C for 16 h with no lighting. They were then placed in a 20 to 25°C greenhouse with a 14-h photoperiod. Light was generated using 400W sodium vapor lights. Lesions developed on leaves and stems of all inoculated plants after 7 days, and symptoms were the same as observed in the field. Each plant was rated weekly for disease severity on a 0 to 10 rating scale where 0 = no disease symptoms and 10 = 100% symptomatic tissue. After 28 days, the average disease rating of inoculated plants was 3.95 ± 0.94. No disease developed on noninoculated plants. C. gloeosporioides was reisolated from all inoculated plants. Host range tests will determine the potential of this isolate as a biological control agent for P. perfoliata. To our knowledge, this is the first report of anthracnose caused by C. gloeosporioides on P. perfoliata. References: (1) P. F. Cannon et al. Mycotaxon 104:189, 2008. (2) J. T. Kartesz and C. A.

Abstract:
To determine whether peak vertical and horizontal impact accelerations were different while running on a track or on a treadmill, 12 healthy subjects (average age 32.8 ± 9.8 y), were fitted with a novel, wireless accelerometer capable of recording triaxial acceleration over time. The accelerometer was attached to a custom-made acrylic plate and secured at the level of the L5 vertebra via a tight fitting triathlon belt. Each subject ran 4 miles on a synthetic, indoor track at a self-selected pace and accelerations were recorded on three perpendicular axes. Seven days later, the subjects ran 4 miles on a treadmill set at the individual runner’s average pace on the track and the peak vertical and horizontal impact magnitudes between the track and treadmill were compared. There was no difference (P= .52) in the average peak vertical impact accelerations between the track and treadmill over the 4 mile run. However, peak horizontal impact accelerations were greater (P= .0012) on the track when compared with the treadmill. This study demonstrated the feasibility for long-term impact accelerations monitoring using a novel wireless accelerometer.

Abstract:
This article examines the impact of Phoenix’s light rail system, which opened in 2008, on new firm formation in specific industries. Individual business data from 1990–2014 are used in a quasi-experimental adjusted-interrupted time series (AITS) regression to compare the impact of the transit system’s construction on new business starts in ‘treatment’ and ‘control’ areas before and after the opening of the line. Findings show that the transit adjacency is worth an 88% increase in knowledge sector new starts, a 40% increase in service sector new starts and a 28% increase in retail new starts at the time the system opened, when compared with automobile-accessible control areas. However, the light rail also appears to suffer from a ‘novelty factor’– after the initial increase in new establishment activity in adjacent block groups, the effect diminishes at the rate of 8%, 6% and 7% per year, respectively. The results also provide insight into the spatial extent of light rail impacts to new business formation, with areas 1 mile from stations observing 21% fewer retail new business starts and 12% fewer knowledge sector new starts than areas within a quarter of a mile of stations.

Abstract:
Flexible pavements are often rehabilitated by milling distressed asphalt and placing new asphalt at a thickness that accounts for expected traffic growth and pavement life. However, there are many reported benefits to concrete overlays as a method to rehabilitate and preserve distressed asphalt pavements. In 1988, the Florida Department of Transportation designed and constructed an unbonded concrete overlay on US-1 between Daytona Beach and Titusville. The 1.9-mile concrete overlay was part of a larger 8-mile milling and resurfacing of a deteriorated asphalt pavement. The concrete overlay test sections were divided into three groups based on design thicknesses of 6, 7, and 8 inches. Each of these groups included subsections with three joint spacing levels and two dowel bar configurations consisting of standard 12-inch spacing and wheel path only. The overlay sections are still in service with no major rehabilitation effort. The primary distress is pavement roughness found in sections with wheel path dowels only. The section with the most cracked slabs had joint spacings of 20 ft, which is no longer recommended. This paper documents the experimental program and presents the analysis and findings.

Abstract:
804 Background: Physical capability describes the ability to do the physical tasks of everyday living. Oncologists usually evaluate physical capability through anamnesis generating a performance status (PS) score. Some authors have proposed the use of cardiorespiratory reserve, muscular strength and objective evaluation of physical activity to avoid the subjective, unreliable and non-reproducible condition of PS. Methods: Patients with a recent diagnosis of colorectal cancer who accepted to participate were evaluated at the hospital setting. Walking speed was evaluated through both one-mile walk test and six-minute walk test. VO2max was calculated through the Kilne formula. Muscular strength was measured through dynamometry (hand-grip) and “sit to stand” test. Physical activity was objectively evaluated with accelerometers. Fatigue was evaluated through the PERFORM questionnaire (12-60). ECOG was evaluated by the medical oncologist. Results: 100 pats were recruited between March 15 and Jul 17. ECOG O/1/2 (80/14/2). 40 (40 %) were metastatic. Mean age 66 (25-81), Sex M/F; 68/32. Conclusions: Objective evaluation of physical condition is feasible at the hospital setting. There were no differences in BMI, heart rate, fatigue, muscular strength and objective functional performance (weekly PA) between localized and metastatic CRC. In metastatic pts with an excellent ECOG-PS the time to walk one mile and the estimated VO2max could be more sensitive than ECOG to evaluate the functional capacity impairment. In pts with cancer the One- mile walk test could be superior to the Six-minute walk to estimate the cardiorespiratory fitness. The objective evaluation of physical condition is a useful additional tool to select pts for aggressive therapies. [Table: see text]

Abstract:
The purposes of this study were (a) to describe the relation of 1-mile run/walk time (MRWT) to skinfold thickness measures in a national probability sample of students 8 to 18 years of age (NCYFS I and II, n = 11,123) and (b) to evaluate the impact of adjusting MRWT scores for the effect of skinfold thickness on the classification of scores using percentile ranks and criterion referenced standards (CRS). MRWT was significantly related to the sum of subscapular and triceps skinfolds in all age-gender groups. In 12-year-olds, MRWT scores adjusted for sum of skinfolds by regression analysis resulted in individual percentile ranks that differed by more than 10 from percentile ranks of unadjusted scores in 29% of girls and 39% of boys, and altered classifications on the Fitnessgram and AAHPERD mile run/walk time CRS in 11-14% of boys and girls. It is concluded that the relation between MRWT and skinfold thickness is strong enough, and the impact of adjusting MRWT scores for skinfold thickness sufficient, to justify using adjusted scores for classification of cardiorespiratory capacity as part of the assessment of health related physical fitness in youth. Additional research is needed to cross-validate the equations developed in this study.

Findings Ben talks about his inpatient treatment for anorexia and his long journey of recovery. Research limitations/implications Single case studies provide us with unique insights into the lived experience of people with mental health problems. They often provide us with hints as to how services could be improved. Practical implications Ben argues that the voice of service users needs to be heard more by professionals. “The only experts of a mental health problem are the people who have been through a mental health issue themselves”. Social implications One of the classic recovery reports talked about “going the extra mile”. Ben talks about how his family therapist would visit him at the end of her working day. As he says, “this was something she didn’t have to do, but wanted to do as she genuinely cared for us”. Originality/value Ben is determined to use his experiences for the benefit of others. Even to have helped a single person will be his biggest life achievement.

Abstract:
Chip seal has been widely used as an effective surface treatment for pavement preservation. The Indiana Department of Transportation (DOT) chip sealed a total of 373 lane mile pavements in 2008 and 700 lane mile pavements in 2009. However, many issues, such as the optimal use of local materials and new aggregates, remained unsolved. No original information was available at the time for Indiana DOT engineers to assess the performance of chip seal pavements. A research study was initiated by the Indiana DOT to evaluate the field performance of chip seal pavements, particularly the surface friction properties. Eighteen chip seal projects were selected as the test sections for this study. Field testing was conducted to measure pavement surface friction and texture properties. The true surface friction numbers were identified for chip seals after 12 months of service. The variation of surface friction on chip seals was analyzed. Factors affecting chip seal surface friction, such as aggregate, traffic volume, and existing pavement condition, were identified and examined. Three traffic levels were defined for better chip seal application. The international roughness index on the existing pavement affected chip seal friction performance. A criterion was recommended for assessing the friction performance of chip seal and identifying the possible failure of a chip seal.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to generate a physical fitness profile of an interagency hotshot crew mid-way through the wildland fire season. Twenty interagency hotshot crew firefighters completed measures of body composition, aerobic fitness, hamstring flexibility, muscular strength, explosive strength and muscular endurance. Firefighters exhibited 12.9 ± 2.3% body fat, scored 9.4 ± 0.4 min on the 1.5-mile (2.41 km) run, 48.8 ± 5.3 cm on the sit-and-reach test, 63.7 ± 8.2 kg and 58.7 ± 7.6 kg for right- and left-hand grip strength, and 55.9 ± 9.9 cm on the vertical jump. Firefighters scored 45 ± 12 for push-ups, 60 ± 6 for sit-ups and 13 ± 4 for pull-ups. All fitness scores were at or above average compared with sex- and age-corrected norms, and interagency hotshot crew-specific recommendations for completion of the 1.5-mile run, push-up, sit-up and pull-up tests. Although these data provide a cross-sectional gauge of mid-season fitness parameters, it is unclear how the occupational stresses of the job alter common measures of fitness in interagency hotshot crews. Future research may help highlight seasonal fluctuations in physical fitness, and the effect of physical fitness training on fitness parameters throughout the fire season.

Abstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assess the benefits of integrating IT tracking and routing systems into last-mile distribution operations. The paper also demonstrates the role of field experiments as a valid approach for improving the rigour of logistics research.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs a field experiment approach. Data were collected before and after the experimental treatment from 16 participating vehicles, which were used as inputs and outputs to calculate vehicles' efficiencies using data envelopment analysis.FindingsThrough employing manipulation and random assignment to investigate causality in naturally occurring contexts, the study results show statistical evidence for the role of vehicle tracking and routing systems in enhancing fleet efficiency. Furthermore, results show that field experiment is an appropriate method for capital budgeting of deploying IT systems in the distribution function.Practical implicationsDistribution managers can use a field experiment setup to assess the potential impact of installing IT solutions prior to large-scale implementation or prior to purchasing.Originality/valueThe study fills a gap in the literature through the application of a field experiment approach to establish causality relationships in distribution and logistics research. This study should encourage new research on the role of field experimentation in evaluating the benefits gained from, and the capital budgeting of, the modern disruptive technologies in supply chains.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT IMPACT: The mobilization of a CTSA-sponsored team with multi-disciplinary translational science expertise enabled the university to provide a range of T1-T4 expertise to a large, complex school district that resulted in permanent learning and data science infrastructure. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The Clinical Translational Science Institute (CTSI) formed a multidisciplinary science team to provide expertise in support of the re-opening of in-person learning in the second-largest U.S. school district during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The assembled interdisciplinary science team provided expertise in epidemiology, machine learning, causal inference and agent-based modeling, data and improvement science, biostatistics, clinical and laboratory medicine, health education, community engagement, and experience in outbreak investigation and management. The team included TL1 pre and postdoctoral fellows and mobilized scientists from multiple professional schools and T1-T4 stages of translational research. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Tangible outcomes achieved using this team approach included the development of practical metrics for use in the school community, a learning process, the integration of preventive design elements into a testing and tracing program, and targeted and data-driven health education. The team, for example, generated new data displays for community engagement and collaborated with the school district in their use to visualize, learn from, and act on variation across a 700 square mile region. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Novel translational methods can be used to establish a learning environment and data science infrastructure that complements efforts of public health agencies to aid schools in the COVID-19 pandemic. These new capabilities apply to COVID-19 testing and vaccines and can be mobilized for future population health challenges faced by school districts.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between peak VO2 and the 1-mile walk test (WALK) performance of forty 12–17-year-old males (mean age = 14.13 years) with mental retardation (mean IQ = 50). Test-retest reliability of the WALK was high for WALK times (R = .97), WALK End-HR (R = .88), and WALK HRpeak (R = .92). Test-retest reliability of relative peak VO2 was .90. Partial correlation analysis indicated that when weight and various combinations of variables with weight were held constant, the relationship between WALK time and peak VO2 was strengthened. Multiple regression analysis of WALK performance variables and peak VO2 measures indicated the best model for estimating relative peak VO2: VO2peak = 95.56 − 3.345 (walk time) − 0.174 (WT) and the best model for estimating absolute peak VO2: VO2peak = 2.90 − .176 (walk rime) + .031 (WT). Results indicated the WALK as a reliable field test for the sample tested.

Abstract:
Purpose. To examine the extent to which theoretical fidelity, or precision in replicating theory-based recommendations, influenced the effectiveness of two walking programs based on social cognitive theory (SCT). Design. Two-group randomized controlled trial. Setting. College town in Virginia. Subjects. Sixty-one sedentary adult women. Intervention. Two 12-week e-mail–based walking programs were compared. The high fidelity program was designed to more precisely follow SCT recommendations for operationalizing mastery procedures than the low fidelity program, which was designed to simulate how mastery procedures were operationalized in most existing SCT-based physical activity programs. Treatment contact and walking prescription were controlled across groups. Measures. The 1-mile walk test of physical fitness and SCT measures were completed at baseline and posttest. Self-reported walking quantity was assessed at baseline, posttest, and 1-year follow-up. Walking logs were completed during the program. Process evaluation measures were completed at posttest. Results. Fifty women completed the study. The high fidelity group improved more than twice as much as the low fidelity group on 1-mile walk test time (86 vs. 32 seconds, p < .05), goal setting (p < .05), and positive outcome expectations (p < .05) and reported greater program satisfaction (p < .01). Conclusion. Theoretical fidelity could advance the quality of physical activity interventions, which have often shown small effects.
