    Abstract Alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) growers in semiarid subtropical regions seek forage crops having a lower irrigation requirement. Perennial forage kochia ( Bassia prostrata (L) A.J. Scott (syn. Kochia prostrata )) can potentially fill this need. The New Mexico State University’s Agricultural Science Center at Tucumcari evaluated four genotypes of B. prostrata (subspecies virescens ”Immigrant” and “Pustinny-select” and subsp. grisea “Snowstorm” and “KZ-6X”) that were direct-seeded in March and May of 2014 under irrigation in semiarid continental precipitation conditions, in three randomized complete blocks. Canopy cover was rated in 2016 and 2018 and biomass production was measured in 2018. Snowstorm did not establish on either date. Canopy cover remained unchanged across years. Immigrant established the greatest canopy cover for the March seeding and Pustinny-select had greater canopy cover for the May seeding. The May seeding tended ( p < 0.10) to have greater biomass production than the March seeding (12,357 and 8909 kg ha −1 , respectively, SEM = 2454). Irrigation or adequate precipitation to maintain soil moisture and weed control are critical to B. prostrata establishment by direct seeding, especially in dry winter regions. Further research is necessary to determine the potential of this species as an alternative to alfalfa in semiarid, subtropical, and continental precipitation regions.

    Abstract Multiscale models aiming to connect muscle's molecular and cellular function have been difficult to develop, in part due to a lack of self-consistent multiscale data. To address this gap, we measured the force response from single, skinned rabbit psoas muscle fibers to ramp shortenings and step stretches performed on the plateau region of the force-length relationship. We isolated myosin from the same muscles and, under similar conditions, performed single-molecule and ensemble measurements of myosin's ATP-dependent interaction with actin using laser trapping and in vitro motility assays. We fit the fiber data by developing a partial differential equation model that includes thick filament activation, whereby an increase in force on the thick filament pulls myosin out of an inhibited state. The model also includes a series elastic element and a parallel elastic element. This parallel elastic element models a titin-actin interaction proposed to account for the increase in isometric force after stretch (residual force enhancement). By optimizing the model fit to a subset of our fiber measurements, we specified seven unknown parameters. The model then successfully predicted the remainder of our fiber measurements and also our molecular measurements from the laser trap and in vitro motility. The success of the model suggests that our multiscale data are self-consistent and can serve as a testbed for other multiscale models. Moreover, the model captures the decrease in isometric force observed in our muscle fibers after active shortening (force depression), suggesting a molecular mechanism for force depression, whereby a parallel elastic element combines with thick filament activation to decrease the number of cycling cross-bridges.

    Abstract A growing number of studies are using birth certificate data, despite data-quality concerns, to study maternal morbidity and associated disparities. We examined whether conclusions about the incidence of maternal morbidity, including Black-White disparities, differ between birth certificate data and hospitalization data. Using linked birth certificate and hospitalization data from California and Michigan for 2018 (N=543,469), we found that maternal morbidity measures using birth certificate data alone are substantially underreported and have poor validity. Furthermore, the degree of underreporting in birth certificate data differs between Black and White individuals and results in erroneous inferences about disparities. Overall, Black-White disparities were more modest in the birth certificate data compared with the hospitalization data. Birth certificate data alone are inadequate for studies of maternal morbidity and associated racial disparities.
