    Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization may be a sustainable sanitary treatment for wet organic waste including human excreta. Human-excreta-derived hydrochar properties differ from those of typical wet biomass due to the formation of a biocrude-like phase at low reaction temperatures. This study characterized the importance of this phase in terms of hydrochar combustion properties and potential agricultural use. Hydrothermal carbonization of raw human excreta was undertaken at 180, 210, and 240 °C, after which the biocrude phase was extracted with dichloromethane. Physicochemical properties, surface-area parameters, combustion profiles, and gas emissions of non-extracted hydrochar, biocrude, and extracted hydrochar were compared. The potential agricultural use of extracted hydrochar was assessed in germination experiments. Biocrude comprised up to 49.5% of hydrochar mass with a calorific value of >60% that of extracted hydrochar. Biocrude combustion properties were better than those of hydrochar, before and after extraction as demonstrated by higher combustion index value (S

    Abstract During the Covid-19 pandemic, accurate PCR tests were augmented by the cheap, rapid, and logistically convenient, yet less sensitive antigen tests. In Israel, a testing policy shift was implemented due to limited availability of PCR tests during the Omicron surge. Thus, both PCR and antigen tests were used, as this was the only alternative for mass testing and surveillance at the time. Yet, evidence-based surveillance requires a robust understanding of the expected consequences of changing the testing policy. Using 41,065 paired tests performed by trained staff between January and April 2022 in Israel, we estimate how the sensitivity of antigen tests changes as a function of Ct value and other key covariates. The results reveal a logarithmic relationship between antigen detection probability and viral load, as quantified by Ct-values of the PCR tests. Further analysis shows a statistically significant association with an odds ratio of approximately 0.76 with each unit of Ct-value. The analysis suggests that in spite of their compromised sensitivity, antigen tests are a natural solution for routine use, while PCR tests should be considered in situations where a false negative result could have serious consequences. These findings are the foundations of policies that will utilize the strengths of the different tests, and achieve enhanced hybrid surveillance.

    Abstract Objectives: Military conflicts may be ongoing and encompass multiple medical facilities. This study investigated the impact of a military conflict ("Protective Edge" PE) on emergency department (ED) function in a tertiary medical center.
    Methods: Visits to the ED during PE (July-August 2014) were compared with ED visits during July-August 2013 and 2015 with regard to admission rates, waiting times and 30-d mortality. Odds ratios (ORs) adjusted for confounders were used for the multivariable regression models.
    Results: There were 32,343 visits during PE and 74,279 visits during the comparison periods. A 13% decrease in the daily number of visits was noted. During PE, longer waiting times were found, on average 0.25 h longer, controlling for confounders. The difference in waiting times was greater in medicine and surgery. Admission rates were on average 10% higher during PE military conflict, controlling for confounders. This difference decreased to 7% controlling for the daily number of visits. Thirty-day mortality was significantly increased during PE (OR = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.18-1.70). ORs for mortality during PE were significantly higher in medicine (OR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.15-1.81) and pediatrics (OR = 4.40; 95% CI: 1.33-14.5).
    Conclusions: During an ongoing military conflict, waiting times, admission rates, and mortality were statistically significantly increased.

    Abstract COVID vaccination can reduce virus levels in breakthrough infections, which in turn may reduce transmission of the virus. By using qRT-PCR cycle threshold as a surrogate of virus levels, the authors here show that this positive effect of vaccination wanes relatively quickly for Omicron breakthrough infection.

    Abstract We target the problem of estimating the center of mass of objects in noisy two-dimensional images. We assume that the noise dominates the image, and thus many standard approaches are vulnerable to estimation errors, e.g., the direct computation of the center of mass and the geometric median which is a robust alternative to the center of mass. In this paper, we define a novel surrogate function to the center of mass. We present a mathematical and numerical analysis of our method and show that it outperforms existing methods for estimating the center of mass of an object in various realistic scenarios. As a case study, we apply our centering method to data from single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), where the goal is to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of macromolecules. We show how to apply our approach for a better translational alignment of molecule images picked from experimental data. In this way, we facilitate the succeeding steps of reconstruction and streamline the entire cryo-EM pipeline, saving computational time and supporting resolution enhancement.
