TL;DR: The RBD1Q screening question is designed, a screening question for dream enactment with a simple yes/no response foriopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder.
Abstract: REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by dream-enactment behavior, diagnosed by clinical history in combination with video-polysomnography to document REM atonia loss. Idiopathic RBD (iRBD) is receiving increased attention as an important risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, especially alpha-synucleinopathies.2–4
Despite increasing recognition of its importance, knowledge of RBD epidemiology is limited. Except for two studies, which primarily screened for sleep injury (a subtype of RBD)5,6 no large-scale epidemiologic surveys have estimated RBD prevalence. A major barrier to conducting prevalence studies is that RBD is probably uncommon, thus requiring very large epidemiologic surveys. Such large surveys are generally broad, assessing many nonsleep outcomes, with strict limitations upon the time demands upon respondents. This precludes the use of polysomnographic diagnosis and lengthy screening questionnaires. Therefore, simple (i.e., one- or two-question) screens are needed to assess RBD in large-scale epidemiologic surveys. To meet this need, we designed the RBD Single-Question Screen (RBD1Q) a single “yes-no” question that queries the classic dream-enactment behavior of RBD. We present here the validation results of this question, in relation to gold-standard polysomnographic diagnosis, in a 12-center case-control study.

Abstract: In this paper a collection of control algorithms which are able to give rise to 2-sliding modes have been presented, and for each of them the sufficient convergence conditions are given. Furthermore, the real sliding behaviour is briefly considered, and, in some cases, the upper bound of the convergence time is given.

TL;DR: In this article, the Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) technique is used to detect surface deformation and to analyze their space-time characteristics. But the authors highlight the peculiarities of the SBAS technique and its surface deformer retrieval capability for what concerns both large-scale deformation phenomena and more localized displacement effects.
Abstract: We present an overview of the Differential SAR Interferometry algorithm referred to as Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) technique, that allows us to detect surface deformation and to analyze their space-time characteristics. Following the description of the main theoretical aspects of the algorithm, we present several results obtained by applying the SBAS approach in selected case studies relevant to phenomena affecting volcanic areas (Campi Flegrei caldera and Somma-Vesuvio complex, Italy), aquifers (Santa Clara area within the San Francisco bay, California) and landslides (Maratea Valley, Italy). The overall analysis is carried out by using multilook DInSAR interferograms with a spatial resolution of the order of 100 × 100 m, computed from SAR data acquired by the ERS-1 and ERS-2 sensors. In particular, we highlight the peculiarities of the SBAS technique and its surface deformation retrieval capability for what concerns both large-scale deformation phenomena and more localized displacement effects.

TL;DR: It seems that chlorogenic acid acts in synergism with other components of the extracts to exhibit their total antimicrobial activities.
Abstract: Quince (Cydonia oblonga Miller) fruit aqueous acetone extracts were evaluated. High-performance liquid chromatography−diode array detection and electrospray ionization−mass spectrometry were used for the identification and quantification of the phenolic compounds. The total phenolic content of the pulp and peel parts ranged from 37 to 47 and 105 to 157 mg/100 g of fresh weight, respectively. Chlorogenic acid (5-O-caffeoylquinic acid) was the most abundant phenolic compound in the pulp (37%), whereas rutin (quercetin 3-O-rutinoside) was the main one in the peel (36%). The radical scavenging potential of the extracts was determined and compared with that of synthetic antioxidants. The stronger properties corresponded to those obtained from peel material with a 70−80% inhibitory effect on DPPH radicals. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts against different microorganism strains was also investigated. Quince peel extract was the most active for inhibiting bacteria growth with minimum inhibitory and bac...
