Environmental DNA signatures distinguish between tsunami and storm deposition in overwash sand

AbstractSandy onshore deposits from tsunamis are difficult to distinguish from storm deposits, which makes it difficult to assess coastal hazards from the geological record. Here we analyse environmental DNA from microbial communities preserved in known tsunami and storm-deposited sediments and intercalating soils and non-marine sediments near Cuddalore, India, and Phra Thong Island, Thailand. Both sites were impacted by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and a subsequent storm flooding event (2011 Cyclone Thane at Cuddalore and a 2007 storm at Phra Thong Island). We show that the microbial communities in the overwash deposits are significantly different from soil and sediments that are not derived by overwash processes at both locations. Our method also successfully discriminates between modern tsunami deposits and storm deposits. We suggest molecular techniques have the potential to accurately discriminate overwash deposits from catastrophic natural events.</jats:p

AMD, an Automated Motif Discovery Tool Using Stepwise Refinement of Gapped Consensuses

Motif discovery is essential for deciphering regulatory codes from high throughput genomic data, such as those from ChIP-chip/seq experiments. However, there remains a lack of effective and efficient methods for the identification of long and gapped motifs in many relevant tools reported to date. We describe here an automated tool that allows for de novo discovery of transcription factor binding sites, regardless of whether the motifs are long or short, gapped or contiguous

PENGARUH VARIASI LEBAR PONDASIh DAN JUMLAH LAPISAN PERKUATAN GEOGRID PADA TANAH RC 85% TERHADAPPDAYA DUKUNG TANAH DENGAN PONDASI MENERUS

Daya dukung tanah merupakan faktor yang berperan penting dalam perencanaan pondasi. Apabila daya dukung tanah asli tidak mampu menahan beban bangunan, maka diperlukan perkuatan tanah. Pada tanah pasir perkuatan bisa dilakukan dengan penambahan geogrid. Tujuan dari penelitian yang dilakukan adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari lebar pondasi dan jumlah lapisan geogrid yang optimum pada daya dukung tanah dengan perkuatan geogrid. Pada penelitian menggunakan rasio jarak geogrid pertama ke pondasi sebesar 0,25 B, rasio kedalaman sebesar 0,5B, variasi lebark pondasi sebesar 6 cm, 8 cm, dan 10 cm, dan variasi jumlah lapisan geogridh sebesar 1,2, dan 3 lapis. Dari penelitian ini diambil kesimpulan bahwa semakin lebar pondasi dan semakin banyak jumlah geogrid daya dukung semakin meningkat. Kata Kunci : Pasir, Pondasi menerus, Geogrid, Lebar pondasi, Jumlah lapisan geogri

Role of outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy in the treatment of community acquired skin and soft tissue infections in Singapore

Abstract Background Treatment of community acquired skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) is a common indication for outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) in USA, UK and Australasia, however data from Asia are lacking. OPAT is well established within the Singapore healthcare since 2002, however, systematic use of OPAT for the treatment of SSTIs remains infrequent. In this report, we describe the treatment and outcome of patients with SSTIs referred directly from Emergency Department (ED) to OPAT for continuation of intravenous (IV) antibiotics in Singapore, thus avoiding potential hospital admission. Method This is a single center university hospital retrospective study of patients with SSTIs presenting to ED who were assessed to require IV antibiotics and accepted to the OPAT clinic for continuation of IV treatment. Exclusion criteria were: haemodynamic instability, uncontrolled or serious underlying co-morbidities, necessity for inpatient surgical drainage, facial cellulitis and cephalosporin allergy. Patients returned daily to the hospital’s OPAT clinic for administration of IV antibiotics and review, then switched to oral antibiotics on improvement. Results From 7 February 2012 to 31 July 2015, 120 patients with SSTIs were treated in OPAT. Median age was 56 years and 63% were male. Lower limbs were affected in 91%. Diabetes was present in 20%. Sixty-seven (56%) had been treated with oral antibiotics for a median duration of 3 days prior to OPAT treatment. Common symptoms were erythema (100%), swelling (96%), pain (88%) and fever (55%). Antibiotics administered were IV cefazolin with oral probenecid (71%) or IV ceftriaxone (29%) for median 3 days then oral cloxacillin (85%) for median 7 days. Clinical improvement occurred in 90%. Twelve patients (10%) were hospitalized for worsening cellulitis, with 4 patients requiring surgical drainage of abscess. Microbiological cultures from 2 patients with drained abscess grew methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Klebsiella pneumoniae, both of which were susceptible to cefazolin and ceftriaxone. Hospital bed days saved was 318 days. Conclusion OPAT treatment of community acquired SSTIs in a selected patient population has good outcomes in Singapore. Treatment with IV cefazolin or IV ceftriaxone was successful in the majority with low hospital readmission rate
