The Relationship

**The uploaded manuscript is still in preparation** In this study, we tested the relationship between visual arrays tasks and working memory capacity and attention control. Specifically, we tested whether task design (selection or non-selection demands) impacted the relationship between visual arrays measures and constructs of working memory capacity and attention control. Using analyses from 4 independent data sets we showed that the degree to which visual arrays measures rely on selection influences the degree to which they reflect domain-general attention control.

New archaeological research in Borno by the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, has included the analysis of pottery excavated from several sites during the 1990s. This important investigation made us search through our old files for a statistical analysis of pottery from the same region, which although completed in 1981 was never published. The material came from approximately one hundred surface collections and seven excavated sites, spread over a wide area, and resulted from fieldwork in the 1960s and 1970s. Although old, the analysis remains relevant because it provides a broad geographical context for the more recent work, as well as a large body of independent data with which the new findings can be compared. It also indicates variations in both time and space that have implications for the human history of the area, hinting at the ongoing potential of broadscale pottery analysis in this part of West Africa and having wider implications of relevance to the study of archaeological pottery elsewhere.

Generalised Sensitivity Analysis

An application of a dynamic model of the activated sludge process is described within the context of real-time river basin management. The model has been calibrated and validated on independent data and then applied to investigate losses of nitrification at the Mogden Works. Monte Carlo simulation and generalised sensitivity analysis were found to be effective ways of identifying appropriate parameter values and their importance. The prediction of unmeasured states such as the autotroph population enabled the effects of alternative control actions to be better understood and the most suitable measures found.

Abstract Background The use of the Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) is recommended in national, European and American guidelines. However, there are almost exclusively data from the manufacturer's own data network. Independent data on the experience with the WCD are rare. Objective The aim of the retrospective study from one cardiologic department was to record efficiency, safety and compliance of the WCD. Patients and methods The study included all patients, to whom a WCD was described between 1.11.2010 and 1.5.2018 at one cardiologic department. Clinical data were obtained from the patients' records and the data about the WCD from the information network of the manufacturer. Results This study enrolled 66 patients, 51 males (77%) and 15 females (23%). The median age was 55 years (IQR: 45–63). They suffered from ischemic cardiomyopathy (n=33; 49%), dilated cardiomyopathy (n=12; 18%), myocarditis (n=7; 11%), explantation of an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD; n=5; 8%) and other indications (n=6; 9%). The median wearing time of the WCD was 73 days (interquartile range-IQR: 39–126), with median daily use of 22.91 h (IQR: 19.58–23.61). Among 38 patients with LVEF ≤35%, LVEF improved to ≥35% in 19 patients (50%) during WCD therapy. Over 1600 times the WCD detected a VT falsely. Four patients (8%) suffered from 212 non-sustained VT. One patient was successfully shocked because of ventricular fibrillation (appropriate shock rate: 1.5%). There were no inappropriate shocks. All patients, who wore the WCD, survived and one patient died when he did not wear the WCD. At the end of therapy 32 patients (48%) received an ICD. In terms of wearing time and events (shocks, arrhythmias, artifacts) there were no significant differences between patients receiving ICD and those who did not receive an ICD. Patients who received an ICD had a significantly lower LVEF after 3 months than patients who did not receive an ICD. Conclusion Our data confirm, that the WCD is safe and that the patients, who wear a WCD, have a high adherence. More than half of the patients with reduced LVEF improved their systolic function during WCD therapy, thus obviating the need for ICD implantation. Questions about the effectiveness of the detection algorithm remained open. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background Pollen limitation occurs widely and has an important effect on flowering plants. The East Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains region is a global biodiversity hotspot. However, to our knowledge, no study has synthetically assessed the degree of pollen limitation in this area. The present study aims to reveal the degree of pollen limitation for the flowering plants growing on East Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains and to test whether the reproductive features or the elevation is closely correlated with the degree of pollen limitation in this area. Results We complied data from 76 studies, which included 96 species and 108 independent data records. We found that the flowering plants in this area undergo severe pollen limitation [overall Hedges’ d = 2.004, with a 95% confidence interval (1.3264, 2.6743)] that is much higher than that of the flowering plants growing in many other regions around the world. The degree of pollen limitation was tested to determine the correlation with the capacity for autonomous self-reproduction and with the pollination pattern (generalized vs. specialized pollination) of plants. In addition, we found a clear relationship between elevation and the degree of pollen limitation, which indicates that plants might undergo more severe pollen limitation in relatively high places. Conclusions This paper is the first to address the severe pollen limitation of the flowering plants growing in East Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains region. Moreover, we reveal the positive correlation between elevation and the degree of pollen limitation.

ABSTRACT Several genotypic interpretation scores have been proposed for the evaluation of susceptibility to lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) but have not been compared using an independent data set. This study was a retrospective multicenter cohort of patients initiating LPV/r-based therapy. The virologic response (VR) was defined as a viral load of <500 copies/ml at week 24. The genotypic interpretation scores surveyed were the LPV mutation score, the ViroLogic score, the ATU score, the Stanford database score, and the International AIDS Society-USA mutation list. Of the 103 patients included in the analysis, 76% achieved VR at 24 weeks. For scores with clinical breakpoints defined (LPV mutation, ATU, ViroLogic, and Stanford), over 80% of the patients below the breakpoints achieved VR, while 50% or less above the breakpoints responded. Protease mutations at positions 10, 54, and 82 and at positions 54, 84, and 90 were associated with a lack of VR in the univariate and multivariate analyses, respectively. The area under the receiver-operator characteristic curves for the five genotypic interpretation scores studied ranged from 0.73 to 0.76. The study confirms that the currently available genotypic interpretation scores which are widely used by clinicians performed similarly well and can be effectively used to predict the virologic activity of LPV/r in treatment-experienced patients.
