Enabling a More Externally Focused and Operational PLA â 2020 PLA Conference Papers
Although the Peopleâs Liberation Army is not yet a global expeditionary force on par with the US military, the former has nevertheless significantly expanded its ability to operate abroad. Through enhanced technological capabilities, robust relationships with foreign militaries, increased access to overseas military bases and dual-use facilities, and the implementation of major structural reforms, the Peopleâs Liberation Army has built a more integrated joint force capable of conducting a wider and more complex array of missions. This volume advances the understanding of the Peopleâs Liberation Armyâs capability to conduct overseas missions by examining Chinaâs military relations with Europe, Africa, and Latin America; the countryâs military activities in the Indian Ocean, polar regions, and Pacific Island countries; and the emerging roles of the Peopleâs Liberation Army Rocket Force and the Joint Logistic Support Force. This volume finds the Peopleâs Liberation Army is engaged in a wide range of activities throughout the world, including port calls, joint exercises, seminars, and personnel exchanges. China sells weapons to some parts of the world and seeks to acquire military and dual-use technology from others. In addition, the Peopleâs Liberation Army seeks to increase its capability to operate in parts of the world, such as the Indian Ocean, Pacific Island countries, and polar regions, where the organization has only had a minimal presence in the past.https://press.armywarcollege.edu/monographs/1947/thumbnail.jp
A new isomer in La
Levels in La have been studied via /EC decay of on-line
mass-separated Ce using the HIGISOL technique. A new (390 40) ms isomer
is definitely attributed to La by conversion electron measurements of the 107 keV E3
isomeric transition
Beta-decay properties of Si and P
The -decay properties of the neutron-deficient nuclei Si and
P have been investigated at the GANIL/LISE3 facility by means of
charged-particle and -ray spectroscopy. The decay schemes obtained and
the Gamow-Teller strength distributions are compared to shell-model
calculations based on the USD interaction. B(GT) values derived from the
absolute measurement of the -decay branching ratios give rise to a
quenching factor of the Gamow-Teller strength of 0.6. A precise half-life of
43.7 (6) ms was determined for P, the - (2)p decay mode of which
is described
Recurrent Scedosporium apiospermum mycetoma successfully treated by surgical excision and terbinafine treatment: a case report and review of the literature
Background:
Scedosporium apiospermum
is an emerging opportunistic filamentous fungus, which is notorious for its
high levels of antifungal
âresistance. It is able to cause localized cutaneous or subcutaneous infections in both immuâ
nocompromised and immunocompetent persons, pulmonary infections in patients with predisposing pulmonary
diseases and invasive mycoses in immunocompromised patients. Subcutaneous infections caused by this fungus
frequently show chronic mycetomatous manifestation.
Case report:
We report the case of a 70
âyear
âold immunocompromised man, who developed a fungal mycetomaâ
tous infection on his right leg. There was no history of trauma; the aetiological agent was identified by microscopic
examination and ITS sequencing. This is the second reported case of
S. apiospermum
subcutaneous infections in
Hungary, which was successfully treated by surgical excision and terbinafine treatment. After 7
months, the patient
remained asymptomatic. Considering the antifungal susceptibility and increasing incidence of the fungus,
Sce

dosporium
related subcutaneous infections reported in the past quarter of century in European countries were also
reviewed.
Conclusions:
Corticosteroid treatment represents a serious risk factor of
S. apiospermum
infections, especially if the
patient get in touch with manure
âenriched or polluted soil or water. Such infections have emerged several times in
European countries in the past decades. The presented data suggest that besides the commonly applied voriconaâ
zole, terbinafine may be an alternative for the therapy of mycetomatous
Scedosporium
infections
Restauration morpho-dynamique et redynamisation de la section court-circuitée du Rhin en aval du barrage de Kembs (projet INTERREG / EDF)
National audienceThe Upper Rhine River has been heavily impacted by channelization for flood protection and navigation, and then by damming for hydropower generation. In normal non flooding conditions, most of the flows are diverted in a canalized section whereas the regulated âold Rhineâ bypassed reach runs a minimum flow. Between Huningue and Neuf-Brisach, engineering works induced simplification and stabilization of the channel pattern from a formerly braiding sector to a single incised channel, hydrological modifications, bottom armouring due to bedload decrease, and thus ecological alterations. Two complementary and interdisciplinary projects have been initiated to restore alluvial morphodynamics: i) the international âINTERREG IV - Redynamisation of the old Rhineâ project (2009-2012) coordinated by the Alsace region, France; ii) the left bank âcontrolled erosionâ project launched by ElectricitĂ© de France (EDF) within Kembs hydroelectric station relicensing process since 2003-2004. The purpose of these projects is to evaluate the feasibility of an important hydro-morphological and ecological restoration plan on a 45 km long reach, through both field testing of bank erosion techniques at favourable locations, and artificial sediments input from right bank excavations. This will help define possible long term prospective scenarios, in order to restore sustainable sediment transport, morphodynamics variability and associated ecological functions. The study will involve historical analysis, hydro-morphological / hydraulic physical and numerical modelling, physical and ecological monitoring, and sociological aspectsLe Rhin alsacien-allemand a enregistrĂ© de profondes modifications morphologiques et hydrologiques Ă la suite de sa correction et de sa rĂ©gularisation pour la protection contre les crues et la navigation, puis aprĂšs la construction de barrages hydro-Ă©lectriques. Les amĂ©nagements rĂ©alisĂ©s entre Huningue et Neuf-Brisach ont engendrĂ© une simplification et une stabilisation du style fluvial. Un fleuve en tresses a cĂ©dĂ© la place Ă un chenal unique incisĂ©. Le fond de chenal est devenu pavĂ© Ă cause dâune diminution des apports de charge de fond et des altĂ©rations Ă©cologiques ont Ă©tĂ© observĂ©es (simplification des habitats aquatiques et riverains). Deux projets complĂ©mentaires et interdisciplinaires ont Ă©tĂ© engagĂ©s afin de restaurer une dynamique des formes alluviales : i) le projet international INTERREG IV â Redynamisation du Vieux Rhin (2009-2012) sous lâimpulsion de la rĂ©gion Alsace ; ii) le projet dâĂ©rosion maitrisĂ©e des berges de la rive gauche conduit par ElectricitĂ© de France (EDF) dans le cadre du renouvellement de la concession de lâamĂ©nagement de Kembs. Lâobjectif des deux projets est de dĂ©finir un plan de restauration hydro-morphologique et Ă©cologique conduisant Ă la redynamisation dâun tronçon de 45 km. LâĂ©tude repose sur une analyse historique, lâexploitation de modĂšles Ă la fois physiques et numĂ©riques, et les suivis morphologiques in situ dâune recharge artificielle en sĂ©diments et dâĂ©rosions de berge contrĂŽlĂ©es. Ces Ă©tudes de faisabilitĂ© sont complĂ©tĂ©es par des analyses Ă©cologique et sociologique pour apprĂ©cier lâimpact socio-environnemental de ces projets

Acanthaster planci Outbreak: Decline in Coral Health, Coral Size Structure Modification and Consequences for Obligate Decapod Assemblages
Although benthic motile invertebrate communities encompass the vast majority of coral reef diversity, their response to habitat modification has been poorly studied. A variety of benthic species, particularly decapods, provide benefits to their coral host enabling them to cope with environmental stressors, and as a result benefit the overall diversity of coral-associated species. However, little is known about how invertebrate assemblages associated with corals will be affected by global perturbations, (either directly or indirectly via their coral host) or their consequences for ecosystem resilience. Analysis of a ten year dataset reveals that the greatest perturbation at Moorea over this time was an outbreak of the corallivorous sea star Acanthaster planci from 2006 to 2009 impacting habitat health, availability and size structure of Pocillopora spp. populations and highlights a positive relationship between coral head size and survival. We then present the results of a mensurative study in 2009 conducted at the end of the perturbation (A. planci outbreak) describing how coral-decapod communities change with percent coral mortality for a selected coral species, Pocillopora eydouxi. The loss of coral tissue as a consequence of A. planci consumption led to an increase in rarefied total species diversity, but caused drastic modifications in community composition driven by a shift from coral obligate to non-obligate decapod species. Our study highlights that larger corals left with live tissue in 2009, formed a restricted habitat where coral obligate decapods, including mutualists, could subsist. We conclude that the size structure of Pocillopora populations at the time of an A. planci outbreak may greatly condition the magnitude of coral mortality as well as the persistence of local populations of obligate decapods
