Objective:
To determine the association between blood markers of white matter injury (e.g., serum neurofilament light and phosphorylated neurofilament heavy) and a novel neuroimaging technique measuring microstructural white matter changes (e.g., diffusion kurtosis imaging) in regions (e.g., anterior thalamic radiation and uncinate fasciculus) known to be impacted in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and associated with symptoms common in those with chronic TBI (e.g., sleep disruption, cognitive and emotional disinhibition) in a heterogeneous sample of Veterans and non-Veterans with a history of remote TBI (i.e., >6 months).
Participants and Methods:Participants with complete imaging and blood data (N=24) were sampled from a larger multisite study of chronic mild-moderate TBI. Participants ranged in age from young to middle-aged (mean age = 34.17, SD age = 10.96, range = 19-58) and primarily male (66.7%). The number of distinct TBIs ranged from 1-5 and the time since most recent TBI ranged from 0-30 years. Scores on a cognitive screener (MoCA) ranged from 22-30 (mean = 26.75). We performed bivariate correlations with mean kurtosis (MK) in the anterior thalamic radiation (ATR; left, right) uncinate fasciculus (UF; left, right), and serum neurofilament light (NFL), and phosphorylated neurofilament heavy (pNFH). Both were log transformed for non-normality. Significance threshold was set at p<0.05.
Results:pNFH was significantly and negatively correlated to MK in the right (r=-0.446) and left (r=-0.599) UF and right (r=-0.531) and left (r=-0.469) ATR. NFL showed moderate associations with MK in the right (r=-0.345) and left (r=-0.361) UF and little to small association in the right (r=-0.063) and left (r=-0.215) ATR. In post-hoc analyses, MK in both the left (r=0.434) and right (r=0.514) UF was positively associated with performance on a frontally-mediated list-learning task (California Verbal Learning Test, 2nd Edition; Trials 1-5 total).
Conclusions:Results suggest that serum pNFH may be a more sensitive blood marker of microstructural complexity in white matter regions frequently impacted by TBI in a chronic mild-moderate TBI sample. Further, it suggests that even years after a mild-moderate TBI, levels of pNFH may be informative regarding white matter integrity in regions related to executive functioning and emotional disinhibition, both of which are common presenting problems when these patients are seen in a clinical setting.

Proglacial environments are ideal for studying the development of soils through the changes of rocks exposed by glacier retreat to weathering and microbial processes. Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) contents as well as soil pH and soil elemental compositions are thought to be dominant factors structuring the bacterial, archaeal and fungal communities in the early stages of soil ecosystem formation. However, the functional linkages between C and N contents, soil composition and microbial community structures remain poorly understood. Here, we describe a multivariate analysis of geochemical properties and associated microbial community structures between a moraine and a glaciofluvial outwash in the proglacial area of a High Arctic glacier (Longyearbreen, Svalbard). Our results reveal distinct differences in developmental stages and heterogeneity between the moraine and the glaciofluvial outwash. We observed significant relationships between C and N contents, δ13Corg and δ15N isotopic ratios, weathering and microbial abundance and community structures. We suggest that the observed differences in microbial and geochemical parameters between the moraine and the glaciofluvial outwash are primarily a result of geomorphological variations of the proglacial terrain.

Geochemical and related studies have been made of near-surface sediments from the River Clyde estuary and adjoining areas, extending from Glasgow to the N, and W as far as the Holy Loch on the W coast of Scotland, UK. Multibeam echosounder, sidescan sonar and shallow seismic data, taken with core information, indicate that a shallow layer of modern sediment, often less than a metre thick, rests on earlier glacial and post-glacial sediments. The offshore Quaternary history can be aligned with onshore sequences, with the recognition of buried drumlins, settlement of muds from quieter water, probably behind an ice dam, and later tidal delta deposits. The geochemistry of contaminants within the cores also indicates shallow contaminated sediments, often resting on pristine pre-industrial deposits at depths less than 1m. The distribution of different contaminants with depth in the sediment, such as Pb (and Pb isotopes), organics and radionuclides, allow chronologies of contamination from different sources to be suggested. Dating was also attempted using microfossils, radiocarbon and 210Pb, but with limited success. Some of the spatial distribution of contaminants in the surface sediments can be related to grain-size variations. Contaminants are highest, both in absolute terms and in enrichment relative to the natural background, in the urban and inner estuary and in the Holy Loch, reflecting the concentration of industrial activity.

Client-responsive behaviours occur commonly among residents in long-term care (LTC) settings; direct-care staff, however, receive little education, support, or opportunities to discuss and collaborate on managing such behaviours. Our participatory action project introduced mental health huddles to support staff in discussing and managing client-responsive behaviours in long-term care. This research project engaged direct-care staff (e.g., personal support workers, registered practical nurses, housekeeping staff, and registered nurses) in learning how to use these huddles. Staff workers used huddles as a forum to stay informed, review work, problem solve, and develop person-centered action plans. Fifty-six huddles occurred over a 12-week period; two to seven direct-care staff participated in each huddle. Focus groups indicated improved staff collaboration, teamwork, support, and communication when discussing specific responsive behaviours. Huddles provided LTC staff with the opportunity to collaborate and discuss strategies to optimize resident care. Further research on how huddles affect resident care outcomes is needed.

We prove that the symmetrizer of a permutation group preserves stability if and only if the group is orbit homogeneous. A consequence is that the hypothesis of permutation invariance in the Grace–Walsh–Szegő Coincidence Theorem cannot be relaxed. In the process we obtain a new characterization of the Grace-like polynomials, introduced by D. Ruelle, and prove that the class of such polynomials can be endowed with a natural multiplication.

Motivated by a property of linear resistive electrical networks, we introduce the class of Rayleigh matroids. These form a subclass of the balanced matroids defined by Feder and Mihail [9] in 1992. We prove a variety of results relating Rayleigh matroids to other well-known classes – in particular, we show that a binary matroid is Rayleigh if and only if it does not contain $\mathcal{S}_{8}$ as a minor. This has the consequence that a binary matroid is balanced if and only if it is Rayleigh, and provides the first complete proof in print that $\mathcal{S}_{8}$ is the only minor-minimal binary non-balanced matroid, as claimed in [9]. We also give an example of a balanced matroid which is not Rayleigh.

Background: Cognitive impairment often occurs with geriatric depression and impairments may persist despite remission of depression. Although clinical definitions of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have typically excluded depression, a neuropsychological model of MCI in depression has utility for identifying individuals whose cognitive impairments may persist or progress to dementia.
Methods: At baseline and 1-year follow-up, 67 geriatric patients with depression had a comprehensive clinical examination that included depression assessment and neuropsychological testing. We defined MCI by a neuropsychological algorithm and examined the odds of MCI classification at Year 1 for remitted depressed individuals with baseline MCI, and examined clinical, functional and genetic factors associated with MCI.
Results: Fifty-four percent of the sample had MCI at baseline. Odds of MCI classification at Year 1 were four times greater among patients with baseline MCI than those without. Instrumental activities of daily living were associated with MCI at Year 1, while age and APOE genotype was not.
Conclusions: These results confirm previous observations that MCI is highly prevalent among older depressed adults and that cognitive impairment occurring during acute depression may persist after depression remits. Self-reported decline in functional activities may be a marker for persistent cognitive impairment, which suggests that assessments of both neuropsychological and functional status are important prognostic factors in the evaluation of geriatric depression.

A well-known theorem states that if $f\left( z \right)$ generates a $\text{P}{{\text{F}}_{r}}$ sequence then $1/f\left( -z \right)$ generates a $\text{P}{{\text{F}}_{r}}$ sequence. We give two counterexamples which show that this is not true, and give a correct version of the theorem. In the infinite limit the result is sound: if $f\left( z \right)$ generates a $\text{PF}$ sequence then $1/f\left( -z \right)$ generates a $\text{PF}$ sequence.

For a finite multigraph G, the reliability function of G is the probability RG(q) that if each edge of G is deleted independently with probability q then the remaining edges of G induce a connected spanning subgraph of G; this is a polynomial function of q. In 1992, Brown and Colbourn conjectured that, for any connected multigraph G, if q ∈ [Copf ] is such that RG(q) = 0 then [mid ]q[mid ] [les ] 1. We verify that this conjectured property of RG(q) holds if G is a series-parallel network. The proof is by an application of the Hermite–Biehler theorem and development of a theory of higher-order interlacing for polynomials with only real nonpositive zeros. We conclude by establishing some new inequalities which are satisfied by the f-vector of any matroid without coloops, and by discussing some stronger inequalities which would follow (in the cographic case) from the Brown–Colbourn conjecture, and are hence true for cographic matroids of series-parallel networks.

We consider the location of zeros of four related classes of polynomials, one of which is the class of chromatic polynomials of graphs. All of these polynomials are generating functions of combinatorial interest. Extensive calculations indicate that these polynomials often have only real zeros, and we give a variety of theoretical results which begin to explain this phenomenon. In the course of the investigation we prove a number of interesting combinatorial identities and also give some new sufficient conditions for a polynomial to have only real zeros.
