    Abstract Background: Screening and diagnostic assessments tools for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are important to administer during childhood to facilitate timely entry into intervention services that can promote developmental outcomes across the lifespan. However, assessment services are not always readily available to families, as they require significant time and resources. Currently, in-person screening and diagnostic assessments for ASD are limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to be a concern for situations that limit in-person contact. Thus, it is important to expand the modalities in which child assessments are provided, including the use of technology.
    Aims: This systematic review aims to identify technologies that screen or assess for ASD in 0-12 year-old children, summarizing the current state of the field and suggesting future directions.
    Methods: An electronic database search was conducted to gather relevant articles to synthesize for this review.
    Outcomes and results: 16 studies reported use of novel technology to assess children suspected of ASD.
    Conclusions and implications: Results strongly supported live-video evaluations, video observations, and online or phone methods, but there is a need for research targeting the feasibility of these methods as it applies to the stay-at-home orders required by the pandemic, and other situations that limit clients from seeing providers in-person.

    Abstract Cover crops have been reported as one of the most effective practices to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) for agroecosystems. Impacts of cover crops on SOC change vary depending on soil properties, climate, and management practices, but it remains unclear how these control factors affect SOC benefits from cover crops, as well as which management practices can maximize SOC benefits. To address these questions, we used an advanced process-based agroecosystem model, ecosys, to assess the impacts of winter cover cropping on SOC accumulation under different environmental and management conditions. We aimed to answer the following questions: (1) To what extent do cover crops benefit SOC accumulation, and how do SOC benefits from cover crops vary with different factors (i.e., initial soil properties, cover crop types, climate during the cover crop growth period, and cover crop planting and terminating time)? (2) How can we enhance SOC benefits from cover crops under different cover crop management options? Specifically, we first calibrated and validated the ecosys model at two long-term field experiment sites with SOC measurements in Illinois. We then applied the ecosys model to six cover crop field experiment sites spanning across Illinois to assess the impacts of different factors on SOC accumulation. Our modeling results revealed the following findings: (1) Growing cover crops can bring SOC benefits by 0.33 ± 0.06 MgC ha

    Abstract Increasing drought and extreme rainfall are major threats to maize production in the United States. However, compared to drought impact, the impact of excessive rainfall on crop yield remains unresolved. Here, we present observational evidence from crop yield and insurance data that excessive rainfall can reduce maize yield up to -34% (-17 ± 3% on average) in the United States relative to the expected yield from the long-term trend, comparable to the up to -37% loss by extreme drought (-32 ± 2% on average) from 1981 to 2016. Drought consistently decreases maize yield due to water deficiency and concurrent heat, with greater yield loss for rainfed maize in wetter areas. Excessive rainfall can have either negative or positive impact on crop yield, and its sign varies regionally. Excessive rainfall decreases maize yield significantly in cooler areas in conjunction with poorly drained soils, and such yield loss gets exacerbated under the condition of high preseason soil water storage. Current process-based crop models cannot capture the yield loss from excessive rainfall and overestimate yield under wet conditions. Our results highlight the need for improved understanding and modeling of the excessive rainfall impact on crop yield.

    Abstract Sustainable agricultural intensification could improve ecosystem service multifunctionality, yet empirical evidence remains tenuous, especially regarding consequences for spatially coupled ecosystems connected by flows across ecosystem boundaries (i.e., metaecosystems). Here we aim to understand the effects of land-use intensification on multiple ecosystem services of spatially connected grasslands and wetlands, where management practices were applied to grasslands but not directly imposed to wetlands. We synthesize long-term datasets encompassing 53 physical, chemical, and biological indicators, comprising >11,000 field measurements. Our results reveal that intensification promotes high-quality forage and livestock production in both grasslands and wetlands, but at the expense of water quality regulation, methane mitigation, non-native species invasion resistance, and biodiversity. Land-use intensification weakens relationships among ecosystem services. The effects on grasslands cascade to alter multifunctionality of embedded natural wetlands within the metaecosystems to a similar extent. These results highlight the importance of considering spatial flows of resources and organisms when studying land-use intensification effects on metaecosystems as well as when designing grassland and wetland management practices to improve landscape multifunctionality.

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) impacts an individual's developmental trajectory across several domains, supporting the importance of early detection and identification, which is ultimately the first step toward treatment planning Children should be exposed to an ASD screening at 18 and 24 months of age, but such services are not always available across demographic groups or accessible to underserved communities Screenings can be especially limited in circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic or other situations dictating that people stay at home Thus, it is important to expand the accessibility of assessment services that can provide accurate identification of ASD in young children through the use of technology such as video or mobile application platforms This systematic review aimed to summarize the state of the literature as it relates to accessible telehealth assessments and screening tools for infants and toddlers suspected to have ASD in remote populations Seven studies that utilized video or mobile applications to assess young children in underserved communities were found, including individuals within their first 3 years of life Although some positive results were found regarding effectiveness, there is a need for more sustainable research for this age group, especially for those with limited access to services (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved) Impact Statement Clinical Impact Statement-This systematic review aimed to understand the current video- and mobile application-based assessments that have been used to assess infants and toddlers in remote areas who are suspected to have autism spectrum disorder Findings suggest that there are a limited number of studies that utilize telehealth platforms in underserved communities The seven studies found did reveal effectiveness of these telehealth assessment tools, but there is still a strong need for more research in this area (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)

    Abstract Proton and carbon ion beams are used in the clinical practice for external radiotherapy treatments achieving, for selected indications, promising and superior clinical results with respect to x-ray based radiotherapy. Other ions, like [Formula: see text] have recently been considered as projectiles in particle therapy centres and might represent a good compromise between the linear energy transfer and the radiobiological effectiveness of [Formula: see text] ion and proton beams, allowing improved tumour control probability and minimising normal tissue complication probability. All the currently used p, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ion beams allow achieving sharp dose gradients on the boundary of the target volume, however the accurate dose delivery is sensitive to the patient positioning and to anatomical variations with respect to photon therapy. This requires beam range and/or dose release measurement during patient irradiation and therefore the development of dedicated monitoring techniques. All the proposed methods make use of the secondary radiation created by the beam interaction with the patient and, in particular, in the case of [Formula: see text] ion beams are also able to exploit the significant charged radiation component. Measurements performed to characterise the charged secondary radiation created by [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] particle therapy beams are reported. Charged secondary yields, energy spectra and emission profiles produced in a poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) target by [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] beams of different therapeutic energies were measured at 60° and 90° with respect to the primary beam direction. The secondary yield of protons produced along the primary beam path in a PMMA target was obtained. The energy spectra of charged secondaries were obtained from time-of-flight information, whereas the emission profiles were reconstructed exploiting tracking detector information. The obtained measurements are in agreement with results reported in the literature and suggests the feasibility of range monitoring based on charged secondary particle detection: the implications for particle therapy monitoring applications are also discussed.

    Abstract We develop an integrated framework to determine and compare greenhouse gas (GHG) intensities and production costs of cellulosic ethanol derived from corn stover, switchgrass, and miscanthus grown on high and low quality soils for three representative counties in the Eastern United States. This information is critical for assessing the cost-effectiveness of utilizing cellulosic ethanol for mitigating GHG emissions and designing appropriate policy incentives to support cellulosic ethanol production nationwide. We find considerable variations in the GHG intensities and production costs of ethanol across feedstocks and locations mostly due to differences in yields and soil characteristics. As compared to gasoline, the GHG savings from miscanthus-based ethanol ranged between 130% and 156% whereas that from switchgrass ranged between 97% and 135%. The corresponding range for GHG savings with corn stover was 57% to 95% and marginally below the threshold of at least 60% for biofuels classified as cellulosic biofuels under the Renewable Fuels Standard. Estimates of the costs of producing ethanol relative to gasoline imply an abatement cost of at least $48 Mg(-1) of GHG emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent) abated and can be used to infer the minimum carbon tax rate needed to induce consumption of cellulosic ethanol.
