widget: source_sentence: Hypersensitivity to Chironomidae (non-biting midges) has been a problem in Northern Sudan since about and is probably due to the working of dams which have produced lake-like conditions on parts of the Blue and main Niles where breeding has evidently increased. Studies were undertaken to determine whether this hypersensitivity is mediated by IgE. Sixteen Sudanese, with bronchial asthma associated with exposure to the chironomid, Cladotanytarsus lewisi ('green nimitti'), were investigated. All patients gave a positive immediate-type skin reaction to an extract of the midge and the majority had markedly elevated concentrations of circulating IgE. Serum from all patients passively sensitized human lung fragments in vitro for the release of histamine and slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis by the 'nimitti' antigen. This tissue-sensitizing activity could be removed by immunoabsorption with an anti-IgE. These results indicate that this widespread and important hypersensitivity in the Sudan is IgE-mediated and thus may potentially be treated by desensitization.
sentences: Fifty-eight poultry farmers were questioned for possible respiratory reactions suggesting a hypersensitivity reaction to chicken antigens. In addition, their sera were tested for the presence of antibodies against chicken antigens by several immunologic techniques. Of the poultry farmers examined, % had hemagglutinating antibodies in titers over : against chicken antigens in their sera while none of ten controls had antibodies at a level of : . Furthermore, % of the poultry farmers had precipitins against chicken antigens in their sera, but no precipitating antibodies could be demonstrated in the sera from ten controls. No poultry farmer, however, had symptoms characteristic of a hypersensitivity pneumonitis following contact with chickens., Variations in the time course of flowering and in its intensity were recorded for regions in Israel along with variable climatic conditions. Such variations had an effect on pollen release into the air and on pollen counts. Two approaches for forecasting allergenic pollen dispersion were compared: ( ) a survey of floral development and flowering intensity and ( ) a survey of airborne pollen. There was a positive correlation between the survey of flowering and airborne pollen counts, although pollen was occasionally found after the flowering season. Further, it predicted fairly accurately the beginning of the flowering time of each species in each regio, the expected flowering duration, and intensity. Conducting a survey of flowering is a simple, easy and inexpensive operation. It is highly recommended for regions with variable climates., Deficiency of surfactant in alveoli leads to increased resistance to breathing. Histamine is a mediator in allergic respiratory diseases. Though the bronchoconstrictor effect of histamine is well recognised, histamine may have additional actions that contribute to pathogenesis in these diseases. The present study aimed to observe the effect of histamine on lecithin, a major component of alveolar surfactant. Lecithin content in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of healthy adult male rats was estimated by enzymatic method using Boehringer-Mannheim kits. Lecithin content in these control animals was compared with that in three groups of healthy adult male rats following subcutaneous administration of mg of histamine diphosphate at minutes, minutes and minutes intervals, respectively. A significant reduction in lecithin levels in BAL fluid was observed up to one hour after administration of histamine. The results indicate a possible additional action of histamine in the pathogenesis of allergic respiratory diseases., source_sentence: Educational training of a select group of construction workers on a nuclear power plant demonstrates the value of both training and experience. Training classes were given to three groups of workers involved in the installation of surfacemounted plates. These workers were then given an exam that covered the topics presented in the training sessions. Each of the three groups differed in some respect, notably the time delay between the training sessions and the examinations and the amount of experience the workers had in installing the surfacemounted plates. Scores are highest for workers who took the examination shortly after the training session was given. Among the experienced workers, the workers with more work experience have higher scores. It is noted that experienced workers differed from the inexperienced workers in the answers given for different types of questions. Furthermore, the experienced workers perform better on those exam questions that related to issues encountered in the workplace on a regular basis. Results also show that workers understand their work better when they are regularly informed about the reasons for work items being rejected.
sentences: The Basal Triassic Sandstone is the basal member of the Lower Triassic Kockatea Shale. It is widely distributed adjacent to, and on the Precambrian Greenough Block in the northern Perth Basin, Western Australia. This member is lowermost Lower Triassic in age in the subsurface of the Don-gara gas field. In outcrop on the Greenough Block, the member is represented by a thin basal conglomerate, conformably overlain by upper Lower Triassic Kockatea Shale. In this stratigraphic study, detailed well-to-well correlations and lithologic studies were integrated to reconstruct the depositional history of the interval encompassing the Basal Triassic Sandstone. This sandstone is a composite of near-shore marine, and strand line accumulations deposited around the flanks and on the Greenough Block during a Lower Triassic marine transgression. The sandstone bodies were deposited on a drowned, topography of low relief, on progressively truncated Permian formations and Precambrian basement. The topography was formed following uplift and tilting of the Greenough Block and the overlying Lower Permian formations during mild Upper Permian tectonism., Few people would contest the statement that 'training is an investment'. It is an investment in the future, one which it is essential for industry to undertake in order to meet the continually growing demand for skilled personnel to handle the ever increasing pace of change. Rightly, then, training as an investment is emphasised on basic training officer courses, it is the subject of many a Government exhortation and prominent businessmen go out of their way to emphasise their belief in it. It is widely publicised by the Industrial Training Boards. The slogan 'train and gain' was not coined by an Industrial Training Board simply to advertise the fact that they had been throwing money around as though it were going out of fashion, it was also intended to emphasise the long term gains to be made by investing in training. Looking even further back to the discussions which preceded the passing of the Industrial Training Act, one of the objectives much stressed when the levy and grant system was established was to spread the costs of this investment evenly across industry. The firms who undertook training were to be subsidised by those who benefited from it but did not undertake it. Talking and listening to training practitioners it seems axiomatic that training is an investment and equally axiomatic that, due to the inexplicable failure of management to recognise this, it is one which is in danger of being seriously neglected. To doubt what is so evidently the case is something which, in the training field, amounts to nothing less than heresy., Out-of-sequence (OOS) construction is regarded as one of the most significant factors contributing to construction inefficiencies and loss of labor productivity. Nevertheless, no prior research efforts have attempted to study the impacts of OOS work on productivity, cost, or even schedule. The goal of this paper is to identify and study the causes and early warning signs of OOS work. Using an expert-based analytic approach, the authors formed an industry panel of construction professionals to gather the basic information related to OOS work and consequently surveyed other industry respondents. The panel as well as the survey enabled the authors to ( ) recognize the extent of OOS work, ( ) identify causes of OOS work and quantify their characteristics, ( ) identify early warning signs of OOS work and investigate their relationship with the occurrence of OOS events, ( ) classify the causes and early warning signs of OOS into different categories, and ( ) investigate the impacts of OOS work on project performance in terms of productivity, schedule, cost, quality, and safety. Among many important and interesting results, it was clear that late design deliverables represented the most important factor causing OOS work, and late start of precommissioning activities was the most highly ranked early warning sign for OOS work. This research adds to the body of knowledge by providing unprecedented knowledge on why OOS work occurs and by providing a suite of practices that contribute most to OOS work in construction projects. This paper fills a significant gap in the literature and contributes in assisting project participants in better understanding the overall industry perception on the different causes, early warning signs, and impacts of OOS work., source_sentence: Asian-Pacific Economic LiteratureVolume , Issue p. - Book Review Mineral Economics and Policy , J E Tilton and J I Guzman RFF Press, New York City, Pp. .

sentences: The urgent need for very large increases in investment in infrastructure in most developing countries in Asia is very clear. This paper surveys the challenges facing policymakers in the region. Nearly all of the main concerns for policymakers in Asia in addressing the global infrastructure imbalance are on the supply side. In particular, there are seven related supplyside issues that are of high priority for policymakers: selection and preparation of appropriate projects, finance, pricing, access, governance and management, policy and regulatory policies, and climate change. Governments and utilities need to improve their policies and performance to build confidence among stakeholders. Access to infrastructure services needs to be improved so that consumers will support realistic pricing policies, and investors will be encouraged to provide finance for infrastructure sectors., ADVERTISEMENT RETURN TO ISSUEPREVArticleThe Electromotive Determination of Small Amounts of Ferric IronJ.

Neither endotoxin levels in people with S. mansoni but without hepatosplenic disease nor the impact of treatment on endotoxin levels have been described. We used a methodically optimized Limulus amebocyte lysate assay to measure plasma endotoxin in community-dwelling women from an S. mansoni-endemic area without clinical hepatosplenic disease. We found no difference in baseline mean plasma endotoxin levels between those with (n = ) and without (n = ) infection ( versus EU/mL, P = ). Endotoxin levels did not change in schistosome-infected women after successful treatment ( versus EU/mL, P = ) and were not correlated with circulating anodic antigen or stool egg burden. Our findings do not support the hypothesis that translocating eggs in S. mansoni infection introduce bacterial sources of endotoxin to the circulation.
sentences: In January , a survey of intestinal parasitic infections was performed in a primary school, central Thailand. Of stool samples, Blastocystis was identified with a prevalence of %. Genetic characterization of Blastocystis showed subtype ( %) and subtype ( %). Study of the water supply in this school was performed to find the possible sources of Blastocystis. Blastocystis from one water sample was identified as subtype , which had a nucleotide sequence of small subunit (SSU) ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene that was % identical to that of Blastocystis infected in schoolchildren. Our information supports the evidence of water-borne transmission in this population., Background: The acute phase proteins (APPs) are plasma proteins whose concentration rise or reduce in reaction to infection, inflammation or trauma (Baumann and Gauldie, ). The circulating concentration of these proteins are related to the severity of the underlying condition,thus quantification of their concentrations provide a ready means of giving valuable clinical information and extent of the disease processes (Thompson et. al., ). Materials and Methods: Serum levels of three acute phase proteins (transferrin, a0-macroglobulin and haptoglobin) were determined using single radial immuno-diffusion technique in one hundred and eight Nigerian women aged between and years. Theywere made up of thirty pregnant women with urinary schistosomiasis (P+USS), thirty-six pregnant women without USS (P-USS), eighteen non-pregnant women with USS (NP+USS), and twenty-four healthy non-pregnant women without USS (NP-USS) as controls.Results: The result shows that transferrin was least in P-USS group and highest in NP+USS. The highest mean value of alpha- macroglobulin was found in P+USS group and the least in NP+USS. Haptoglobin was significantly reduced in P+USS compared with other groups.Conclusions: The finding of this study suggests an independent effect of USS and pregnancy on serum levels of APPs, therefore APPs could be used to distinguish P+USS from P-USS, Aging is associated with a loss of skeletal muscle mass and function that negatively impacts the independence and quality of life of older individuals. Females demonstrate a distinct pattern of muscle aging compared to males, potentially due to menopause, when the production of endogenous sex hormones declines. This systematic review aims to investigate the current knowledge about the role of estrogen in female skeletal muscle aging. A systematic search of MEDLINE Complete, Global Health, Embase, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and CINHAL was conducted. Studies were considered eligible if they compared a state of estrogen deficiency (e.g. postmenopausal females) or supplementation (e.g. estrogen therapy) to normal estrogen conditions (e.g. premenopausal females or no supplementation). Outcome variables of interest included measures of skeletal muscle mass, function, damage/repair, and energy metabolism. Quality assessment was completed with the relevant Johanna Briggs critical appraisal tool, and data were synthesized in a narrative manner. Thirty-two studies were included in the review. Compared to premenopausal women, postmenopausal women had reduced muscle mass and strength, but the effect of menopause on markers of muscle damage and expression of the genes involved in metabolic signaling pathways remains unclear. Some studies suggest a beneficial effect of estrogen therapy on muscle size and strength, but evidence is largely conflicting and inconclusive, potentially due to large variations in the reporting and status of exposure and outcomes. The findings from this review point toward a potential negative effect of estrogen deficiency on aging skeletal muscle, but further mechanistic evidence is needed to clarify its role., source_sentence: normal subjects, residents of the Ural region, were examined by a dichromatic bone densitometer of "GE/Lunar" firm (USA). After that they were divided according to their somatotype: normosthenics, hypersthenics and asthenics. Age-related groups in girls were formed from the age of years, in youths from years, up to years every other year, after years every years up to the age of years. The somatotype has been revealed to influence the mineral density (MD) of skeleton, the mass of muscular, connective and fatty tissues: MD in girls has been formed at the age of years, in youths at that of years. In normosthenics and asthenics MD at the same age was % and %, respectively. At the age of years MD in women with hypersthenia was % less than peak bone mass, in those with normosthenia it was % less and in women with asthenia % less. In men these measurements were and %, respectively.
sentences: The C control chart is mostly used to monitor the number of non-conformities per inspection unit of constant size. It is known that the classic C-chart control limits often experience a high false alarm rate and thus lead to the increase of unnecessary costs of inspection. Among many works performed to improve C-charts, this paper presents the optimised control limits approach to the C-chart. In addition, different C-charts are evaluated through factors related to the design of the control chart. Optimally selecting design parameters depends on several process parameters from statistical and/or economic aspects in the literature. This study presents multi-objective economic-statistical design of different C control charts under single assignable cause. An algorithm using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) is employed to solve the models. A numerical example is used to illustrate the algorithm procedure and to evaluate the performances of different designs., Early adult changes in the facial profile were studied longitudinally from to years of age in a Swedish Caucasian sample of female and male dental students. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were analysed by the conventional point-based method and by the structure-based method of superimposing serial films, adapted for computerized numerical analysis. Skeletal and soft tissue changes were described by linear and angular variables. The magnitude of linear dimensional changes was similar in the two sexes. The largest changes were found in the vertical dimensions. Total anterior facial height increased by about mm in the -year period, suggesting that the major part of the increase in vertical facial dimensions during the third decade of life takes place in the first half of this decade. Sagittal jaw relationship increased by about in both sexes. Soft tissue changes reflected those of the vertical skeletal dimensions., x-ray images of patients with posttraumatic defects of forearm bones have been analyzed using DiaMorph computer-assisted complex. Mean optical density of regenerated bone shadows has been evaluated for the purpose of studying the dynamics of osteogenesis and mineralization of newly formed bone tissue during osteosynthesis. By planimetry of distraction regenerated bones it was established that osteogenesis developed by normoplastic type. Typical distraction regenerated bones were formed while filling defect-diastases; the regenerated bones lost their zonal structure at the end of fixation period. During formation of wedge-shaped regenerated bones clear zonal structure of newly formed tissue was not traced, the area of interlayer occupied significantly less part than it was in case of filling the defects of forearm bones by fragment lengthening and formation of typical distraction regenerated bone.
