In the USA, as many as 20 % of recruits sustain stress fractures during basic training. In addition, approximately one-third of female recruits develop Fe deficiency upon completion of training. Fe is a cofactor in bone collagen formation and vitamin D activation, thus we hypothesised Fe deficiency may be contributing to altered bone microarchitecture and mechanics during 12-weeks of increased mechanical loading. Three-week old female Sprague Dawley rats were assigned to one of four groups: Fe-adequate sedentary, Fe-deficient sedentary, Fe-adequate exercise and Fe-deficient exercise. Exercise consisted of high-intensity treadmill running (54 min 3×/week). After 12-weeks, serum bone turnover markers, femoral geometry and microarchitecture, mechanical properties and fracture toughness and tibiae mineral composition and morphometry were measured. Fe deficiency increased the bone resorption markers C-terminal telopeptide type I collagen and tartate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAcP 5b). In exercised rats, Fe deficiency further increased bone TRAcP 5b, while in Fe-adequate rats, exercise increased the bone formation marker procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide. In the femur, exercise increased cortical thickness and maximum load. In the tibia, Fe deficiency increased the rate of bone formation, mineral apposition and Zn content. These data show that the femur and tibia structure and mechanical properties are not negatively impacted by Fe deficiency despite a decrease in tibiae Fe content and increase in serum bone resorption markers during 12-weeks of high-intensity running in young growing female rats.

Changes in landscape composition and structure may impact the conservation and management of protected areas. Species that depend on specific habitats are at risk of extinction when these habitats are degraded or lost. Designing robust methods to evaluate landscape composition will assist decision- and policy-making in emerging landscapes. This paper describes a rapid assessment methodology aimed at evaluating land-cover quality for birds, plants, butterflies and bees around seven UK Natura 2000 sites. An expert panel assigned quality values to standard Coordination of Information on the Environment (CORINE) land-cover classes for each taxonomic group. Quality was assessed based on historical (1950, 1990), current (2000) and future (2030) land-cover data, the last projected using three alternative scenarios: a growth-applied strategy (GRAS), a business-as-might-be-usual (BAMBU) scenario, and sustainable European development goal (SEDG) scenario. A quantitative quality index weighted the area of each land-cover parcel with a taxa-specific quality measure. Land parcels with high quality for all taxonomic groups were evaluated for temporal changes in area, size and adjacency. For all sites and taxonomic groups, the rate of deterioration of land-cover quality was greater between 1950 and 1990 than current rates or as modelled using the alternative future scenarios (2000–2030). Model predictions indicated land-cover quality stabilized over time under the GRAS scenario, and was close to stable for the BAMBU scenario. The SEDG scenario suggested an ongoing loss of quality, though this was lower than the historical rate of c. 1% loss per decade. None of the future scenarios showed accelerated fragmentation, but rather increases in the area, adjacency and diversity of high quality land parcels in the landscape.

Background
Local structural and metabolic as well as inter-regional connectivity abnormalities have been implicated in the neuropathology of major depressive disorder (MDD). How local tissue properties affect intrinsic functional connectivity is, however, unclear. Using a cross-sectional, multi-modal imaging approach, we investigated the relationship between local cortical tissue abnormalities and intrinsic resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in MDD.
MethodA total of 20 MDD in-patients and 20 healthy controls underwent magnetic resonance imaging at 3 T for structural and functional imaging. Whole-brain cortical thickness was calculated and compared between groups. Regions with reduced cortical thickness defined seeds for subsequent whole-brain RSFC analyses. Contributions of structural tissue abnormalities on inter-regional RSFC were explicitly investigated.
ResultsLower cortical thickness was observed in MDD in the right dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (PFC), superior temporal gyrus/temporal pole, middle-posterior cingulate cortex, and dorsolateral PFC. No differences in local fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations were observed. Lower thickness in patients' dorsomedial PFC further directly and selectively affected its RSFC with the precuneus, which was unaffected by symptom severity. No effects of cortical thickness in other regions showing abnormal thickness were observed to influence functional connectivity.
ConclusionsAbnormal cortical thickness in the dorsomedial PFC in MDD patients was observed to selectively and directly affect its intrinsic connectivity with the precuneus in MDD patients independent of depression severity, thereby marking a potential vulnerability for maladaptive mood regulation. Future studies should include an unmedicated sample and replicate findings using independent component analysis to test for morphometric effects on network integrity.

Objective
To examine the use of vitamin D supplements during infancy among the participants in an international infant feeding trial.
DesignLongitudinal study.
SettingInformation about vitamin D supplementation was collected through a validated FFQ at the age of 2 weeks and monthly between the ages of 1 month and 6 months.
SubjectsInfants (n 2159) with a biological family member affected by type 1 diabetes and with increased human leucocyte antigen-conferred susceptibility to type 1 diabetes from twelve European countries, the USA, Canada and Australia.
ResultsDaily use of vitamin D supplements was common during the first 6 months of life in Northern and Central Europe (>80 % of the infants), with somewhat lower rates observed in Southern Europe (>60 %). In Canada, vitamin D supplementation was more common among exclusively breast-fed than other infants (e.g. 71 % v. 44 % at 6 months of age). Less than 2 % of infants in the USA and Australia received any vitamin D supplementation. Higher gestational age, older maternal age and longer maternal education were study-wide associated with greater use of vitamin D supplements.
ConclusionsMost of the infants received vitamin D supplements during the first 6 months of life in the European countries, whereas in Canada only half and in the USA and Australia very few were given supplementation.

Background
Neuroimaging research has demonstrated medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) hyporesponsivity and amygdala hyperresponsivity to trauma-related or emotional stimuli in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Relatively few studies have examined brain responses to the recollection of stressful, but trauma-unrelated, personal events in PTSD. In the current study, we sought to determine whether regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) abnormalities in mPFC and amygdala in PTSD could be observed during the recollection of trauma-unrelated stressful personal events.
MethodParticipants were 35 right-handed male combat veterans (MCVs) and female nurse veterans (FNVs) who served in Vietnam: 17 (seven male, 10 female) with current military-related PTSD and 18 (nine male, nine female) with no current or lifetime PTSD. We used positron emission tomography (PET) and script-driven imagery to study rCBF during the recollection of trauma-unrelated stressful versus neutral and traumatic events.
ResultsVoxelwise tests revealed significant between-group differences for the trauma-unrelated stressful versus neutral comparison in mPFC, specifically in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Functional region of interest (ROI) analyses demonstrated that this interaction in mPFC represented greater rCBF decreases in the PTSD group during trauma-unrelated stressful imagery relative to neutral imagery compared to the non-PTSD group. No differential amygdala activation was observed between groups or in either group separately.
ConclusionsVeterans with PTSD, compared to those without PTSD, exhibited decreased rCBF in mPFC during mental imagery of trauma-unrelated stressful personal experiences. Functional neuroanatomical models of PTSD must account for diminished mPFC responses that extend to emotional stimuli, including stressful personal experiences that are not directly related to PTSD.

Simultaneous streamwise velocity measurements across the vertical direction obtained in the atmospheric surface layer (Reτ ≃ 5 × 105) under near thermally neutral conditions are used to outline and quantify interactions between the scales of turbulence, from the very-large-scale motions to the dissipative scales. Results from conditioned spectra, joint probability density functions and conditional averages show that the signature of very-large-scale oscillations can be found across the whole wall region and that these scales interact with the near-wall turbulence from the energy-containing eddies to the dissipative scales, most strongly in a layer close to the wall, z+ ≲ 103. The scale separation achievable in the atmospheric surface layer appears to be a key difference from the low-Reynolds-number picture, in which structures attached to the wall are known to extend through the full wall-normal extent of the boundary layer. A phenomenological picture of very-large-scale motions coexisting and interacting with structures from the hairpin paradigm is provided here for the high-Reynolds-number case. In particular, it is inferred that the hairpin-packet conceptual model may not be exhaustively representative of the whole wall region, but only of a near-wall layer of z+ = O(103), where scale interactions are mostly confined.

In standard diffraction experiments, ensembles of objects are characterized yielding averaged, statistical properties (meaningful only if the ensemble is monodisperse). Focused x-ray beams are used here to localize single nanostructures, identifying and probing individual objects one by one. In a scanning mode, a 2-dimensional image of the sample is recorded, which allows the reproducible alignment of a specific nanostructure for analysis. The x-ray scattered signal is analyzed and modelled, to give access to the shape, strain and composition inside the single object with sub-micron resolution. Combination of x-ray microdiffraction technique with other micro-probe experiments on the very same individual object (simultaneous coupling of x-ray diffraction measurements with atomic force microscopy (AFM)) is also shown; we prove the possibility to interact with the objects and to address elastic properties for individual nano-structures out of an ensemble.

The fluctuating wall pressure and its gradients in the plane of the surface were measured beneath the turbulent boundary layer that forms over the salt playa of Utah's west desert. Measurements were acquired under the condition of near-neutral thermal stability to best mimic the canonical zero-pressure-gradient boundary-layer flow. The Reynolds number (based on surface-layer thickness, δ, and the friction velocity, uτ) was estimated to be 1 × 106 ± 2 × 105. The equivalent sandgrain surface roughness was estimated to be in the range 15≤ks+≤85. Pressure measurements acquired simultaneously from an array of up to ten microphones were analysed. A compact array of four microphones was used to estimate the instantaneous streamwise and spanwise gradients of the surface pressure. Owing to the large length scales and low flow speeds, attaining accurate pressure statistics in the present flow required sensors capable of measuring unusually low frequencies. The effects of imperfect spatial and temporal resolution on the present measurements were also explored. Relative to pressure, pressure gradients exhibit an enhanced sensitivity to spatial resolution. Their accurate measurement does not, however, require fully capturing the low frequencies that are inherent and significant in the pressure itself. The present pressure spectra convincingly exhibit over three decades of approximately −1 slope. Comparisons with low-Reynolds-number data support previous predictions that the inner normalized wall pressure variance increases logarithmically with Reynolds number. The wall pressure autocorrelation exhibits its first zero-crossing at an advected length that is between one tenth and one fifth of the surface-layer thickness. Under any of the normalizations investigated, the present surface vorticity flux intensity values are difficult to reconcile with low-Reynolds-number data trends. Inner variables, however, do yield normalized flux intensity values that are of the same order of magnitude at low and high Reynolds number. Spectra reveal that even at high Reynolds number, the primary contributions to the pressure gradient intensities occur over a relatively narrow frequency range. This frequency range is shown to be consistent with the scale of the sublayer pocket motions. In accord with low-Reynolds-number data, the streamwise pressure gradient signals at high Reynolds number are also characterized by statistically significant pairings of opposing sign fluctuations.

Ordering of Co nanoparticles (∼11 nm in diameter) into 2-D and 3-D arrays on Si/Si3N4 substrates in external magnetic field and without field is reported. Arrays of particles were studied by TEM, SEM and GISAXS. The GISAXS measurements were performed at the wavelengths 0.155 nm and 0.336 nm and the spectra were simulated using distorted wave Born approximation approach. From results it follows that 2-D ordered monolayers of particles are composed of hexagonal close-packed mosaic blocks. 3-D arrays – rods are formed along magnetic field direction, being parallel or perpendicular to the substrate surface, when the colloid was more concentrated. Distribution of particles in rods was analyzed only by GISAXS and it was described by close packing of hard spheres. Their effective diameter was 14.7 nm.

Measurement of recombination and minority-carrier lifetimes has become a very common activity in current semiconductor technology. The two primary measurement techniques are based on photoconductive decay (PCD) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL). The measurement of the “true” lifetime depends on the carriers being confined to a given spatial region of a diagnostic device. When internal electric fields exist that separate the charges, the measured value does not represent the real minority-carrier lifetime. In these cases, the measured quantity is a function of the true lifetime and the measurement technique.

In a grazing incidence x-ray diffuse scattering study of defects in boron implanted and annealed silicon we have discovered narrow rods of intensity along [111] directions. These diffuse rods of intensity arise from stacking faults formed in the early stages of annealing in the range around 1000°C. From the width of the stacking fault induced rods we can estimate their size, while the integrated intensity is a measure of the total stacking fault area in the implanted layer. Surprisingly we find that these faults initially grow in size and density and after reaching a maximum begin to dissolve and ultimately are totally annihilated. The intensity rods are distinct from the point defect or point defect cluster scattering in the tails of the Bragg peaks referred to as Huang Scattering. From the nature of the q dependence of the diffuse scattering in the Bragg tails we find unequivocal evidence for the presence of clusters in our annealed samples. The average effective size seems remarkably independent of annealing temperature. These observations will be discussed in the context of the enhanced diffusion of boron over its bulk value.

We have developed a method to determine the relationship between strain and lateral size of coherent self-organized quantum dots. In our approach, X-ray grazing incidence diffraction is used to collect information on strain and shape effects in the vicinity of a prominent surface reflection. We demonstrate that for highly strained nano-scale islands it is possible to separate strain-induced and form factor-induced scattering without comparing different reflections. Experimental data from InAs on GaAs(100) quantum dots is discussed with respect to this model. Reciprocal space mapping around the (220) surface reflection shows a linear relationship between relaxation from the substrate lattice parameter and the outer perimeter of the dot. In addition, the functional form of the gradient of relaxation is found to be nonmonotonous and rapidly increasing towards the tip of the dot.

We investigate whether the currently available Galactic Cepheid kinematic data can put interesting constraints on large scale low amplitude non-axisymmetry of the Galactic plane rotation pattern. In this connection we address the experimental design problem of where in the Galactic plane additional Cepheids would prove the most useful for the axisymmetric and the non-axisymmetric modeling of the kinematics.
