Technological level in the relationship between absorptive capacity and response capacity in manufacturing companies

Abstract Purpose: This research analyzed the influence of the acquisition, assimilation, and exploitation of knowledge on the organizational response capacity, given the moderation of the technological level in Mexican manufacturing companies. Originality/value: A conceptual contribution of response capacity as an understanding of organizational agility is fundamentally necessary for organizations facing changing conditions to use new knowledge to achieve the objectives of the organization, employees, and shareholders. An empirical contribution from the absorptive capacity to make companies respond with innovations to environmental changes and help them develop their absorptive capacity so the opportunities and restrictions in their technological level within a company can be seen. Design/methodology/approach: The quantitative study was conducted through a survey with a sample of 102 manufacturing companies that promoted some innovation activity in the State of Mexico, Mexico. The data were analyzed using a hierarchical regression model. Findings: The results showed that the technological level only moderated the relationship between the assimilation of knowledge and organizational response capacity. Also, this study contributed empirically by showing that companies have the same opportunity to improve their absorptive capacity and respond to changes in the environment regardless of their technological level.
Gevrey Hypoellipticity for Non-subelliptic Operators

Em,k = LmLm + Lm|z|Lm, L = ∂ ∂z − iz|z|2(m−1) ∂ ∂t was introduced and shown to be hypoelliptic, yet to lose k−1 m derivatives in L2 Sobolev norms. Christ [3] showed that the addition of one more variable destroyed hypoellipticity altogether. Here we show that this operator with an Oleinik-type singularity Em,k + |z|2(p−1) ∂2 ∂s2 is Gevrey hypoelliptic Gs for any s ≥ 2m p−k , (2m > p > k). A related result is that for the ‘real’ version, with X = ∂ ∂x − ixq−1 ∂ ∂t , Rq,k + x2(p−1) ∂2 ∂s2 = X∗X + (xkX)∗(xkX) + x2(p−1) ∂2 ∂s2 is Gevrey hypoelliptic Gs for any s ≥ q p−k , (q > p > k), although the method of proof is different, and that the result is sharp. The situation is reminiscent of the Baouendi-Goulaouic example, in which adding a new variable to a Grushin type analytic hypoelliptic operator destroys the analyticity and drops the regularity to G2 yet prefacing that new second derivative by a power of the first variable to obtain an Oleinik-type operator improves the Gevrey index substantially (cf. [1]).

A navigation star catalog is used to identify stars and determine satellite altitudes and the capacity,content,storage mode of the navigation star catalog are vital to the function and performance of a star tracker.Through analyzing distribution of stars on the celestial sphere,the relationship between the completeness and redundancy and the number of stars appearing in the field of view of the star sensor is established.The number of navigation stars is determined,and then principles and methods choosing navigation stars from a set of candidates are given.The storage mode of navigation stars is discussed to realize quick search.Based on 2510 navigation stars with 0~6 magnitude,a navigation star catalog satisfying requirements of the star pattern recognition and attitude determination is constructed.
A 5-year retrospective study of intraocular pressure control after trabeculectomy: a retrospective cohort study

Background: Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve in the eye, resulting in vision loss and, in severe cases, blindness. The prevalence of glaucoma and glaucoma blindness is highest in West Africans. Objective: The study presents a 5-year retrospective analysis of intraocular pressure (IOP) and complications after trabeculectomy. Materials and methods: Trabeculectomy was performed using 5 mg/ml of 5-fluorouracil. A gentle diathermy was performed to secure hemostasis. Using a blade fragment of the scleral thickness, a 4×3 mm rectangular scleral flap was dissected. The central part of the flap was dissected 1 mm into the clear cornea. Before being tailed down, the patient was given topical 0.05% dexamethasone qid, 1% atropine tid, and 0.3% ciprofloxacin qid for 4–6 weeks. Patients with pain were given pain relievers, and all patients with photophobia were given sun protection. A successful surgical outcome was defined as a postoperative IOP of 20 mmHg or less. Results: There were 161 patients over the 5-year period under review, with men constituting 70.2% of the total. Out of 275 eyes operated on, 82.9% were bilateral cases, while 17.1% were unilateral. Glaucoma was found in both children and adults aged 11–82 years. However, it was observed to predominate between the ages of 51 and 60, with males having the highest incidence. The average preoperative IOP was 24.37 mmHg, while it was 15.24 mmHg postoperatively. The complication with the highest ranking was shallow anterior chamber (24; 8.73%) due to overfiltration, followed by leaking bleb (8; 2.91%). The most common late complications were cataract (32; 11.64%) and fibrotic bleb (8; 2.91%). Bilateral cataracts developed at an average of 25 months after trabeculectomy. It was seen in patients aged 2–3 with a frequency of 9, whereas 5 years after, 77 patients had improved vision, with a postoperative visual acuity of 6/18-6/6. Conclusion: Postoperatively, the patients had satisfying surgical outcomes as a result of the decrease in preoperative IOP. Although postoperative complications occurred, they had no effect on the surgical outcomes because they were temporary and not optically threatening. In our experience, trabeculectomy is an effective and safe procedure for achieving IOP control.

Semi‐global leader‐following consensus of multiple linear systems with position and rate limited actuators

This paper studies the semi‐global leader‐following consensus problem for a group of linear systems in the presence of both actuator position and rate saturation. Each follower agent in the group is described by a general linear system subject to simultaneous actuator position and rate saturation. For each follower agent, we construct both a linear state feedback control law and a linear output feedback control law by using low gain approach. We show that semi‐global leader‐following consensus can be achieved by using these control laws when the communication topology among follower agents is a connected undirected graph, and the leader is a neighbor of at least one follower. Simulation results illustrate the theoretical results. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Finiteness of De Rham Cohomology

When k = C these groups have topological significance. Grothendieck proved in [1] that HDRt(A) -H$(V;C) where V is the complex manifold attached to A. From this one can see that I"DR (A) is finite dimensional when k C, and the result extends easily to all k of characteristic zero. But it is desirable (especially to a p-adic cohomologist) to give a purely algebraic proof of finite dimensionality. Such a proof has been given by Hartshorne (unpublished); it is global in nature and like Grothendieck's proof makes essential use of resolution of singularities. The object of this note is to give a purely local proof. In llartshorne's proof, the Gysin sequence is used to reduce a question concerning affine varieties to one on projective varieties. We also will use the Gysin sequence to reduce to the case when A is a localization of a polynomial ring. In this case HDR(A) turns out to be the homology of a Koszul complex of first order differential operators on a polynomial ring. Deformation techniques from [2] may then be used to handle this complex. Indeed our paper is nothing more than a simplification and reinterpretation of some results from [2] in terms of DeRham cohomology. That such translations may be made has been shown by Katz, and the map of Lemma 2. 1 relating the De Rham complex t.o a K? oszul complex on a polynomial ring comes from his thesis ( [3] ).
Dynamics of tumor virotherapy: A deterministic and stochastic model approach

ABSTRACT Cancer virotherapy is studied in mathematical modeling to improve tumor elimination. Since various oncolytic viruses are used for cancer therapy and virus selection is an important research problem, we, therefore, constructed deterministic and stochastic models of cancer-virus dynamics. We investigated virus characteristic parameter sensitivities using a reproduction ratio. Locally and globally asymptotically stable equilibrium points that are respectively related to therapy failure/partial success and therapy failure were determined. A stochastic system was derived from the deterministic model. Tumor extinction probabilities depending on changing parameter values were investigated. Results suggest that viruses with high infection rates and optimal cytotoxicity are effective for cancer treatment.
Prospective Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features of Magnesium-Based Alloy Screw Resorption in Pediatric Fractures

Background: The resorption of magnesium-based alloy bioabsorbable screws results in the release of hydrogen gas, which can mimic infection and enter the growth plate. The screw itself and the released gas may also affect image quality. Objective: The evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings during the most active phase of screw resorption is the objective, with particular focus on the growth plate and to assess for the presence of metal-induced artifacts. Material and Methods: In total, 30 prospectively acquired MRIs from 17 pediatric patients with fractures treated with magnesium screws were assessed for the presence and distribution of intraosseous, extraosseous, and intra-articular gas; gas within the growth plate; osteolysis along the screw; joint effusion; bone marrow edema; periosteal reaction; soft tissue edema; and metal-induced artifacts. Results: Gas locules were found in the bone and soft tissues in 100% of the examinations, intra-articular in 40%, and in 37% of unfused growth plates. Osteolysis and the periosteal reaction were present in 87%, bone marrow edema in 100%, soft tissue edema in 100%, and joint effusion in 50% of examinations. Pile-up artifacts were present in 100%, and geometric distortion in 0% of examinations. Fat suppression was not significantly impaired in any examination. Conclusions: Gas and edema in the bone and soft tissues are normal findings during the resorption of magnesium screws and should not be misinterpreted as infection. Gas can also be detected within growth plates. MRI examinations can be performed without metal artifact reduction sequences. Standard fat suppression techniques are not significantly affected.
Expanding the Edge: Enabling Efficient Winograd CNN Inference With Deep Reuse on Edge Device

Deep learning on edge devices is becoming increasingly important, especially with the explosion of IoT devices. For example, the total number of devices connected to IoT reaches 29 billion in 2022. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), as common deep learning representatives, are among the most popular neural networks in knowledge and data engineering. However, CNN employs a high degree of computing. In comparison to the training phase, the inference process is more frequently done on low-power computing equipments, such as edge devices. The limited computing resource and high computation pressure limit the effective use of CNN algorithms at the edge. Fortunately, a minimal filtering algorithm called Winograd can reduce convolution calculations by minimizing multiplication operations. We find that Winograd convolution can be accelerated further by deep reuse technique, which reuses the similar data and computation processes. In this paper, we propose a new inference method, called DREW, which combines deep reuse with Winograd for further accelerating CNNs. DREW handles three difficulties. First, it can detect the similarities from the complex minimal filtering patterns by clustering. Second, it reduces the online clustering cost in a reasonable range. Third, it provides an adjustable method in clustering granularity balancing the performance and accuracy. We perform evaluation on Raspberry PI and NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier edge devices, and experiments show that on five popular networks, 1) DREW further accelerates the Winograd convolution by an average of 8.27× speedup. Even for the highly parallel Winograd implementation, DREW still can provide 2.21× speedup. 2) When DREW is applied to end-to-end Winograd CNN inferences, DREW achieves 5.94× the average performance speedup with no ($< $<</mml:mo>0.4%) accuracy loss. 3) Energy consumption is an important factor for inference in practice. DREW reduces the number of convolution operations to 10% of the original operations, thus achieving up to 60% energy-efficiency benefits than the original Winograd inference.
Application of the pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC rule) and age-adjusted D-Dimer in patients undergoing computed tomography pulmonary angiography for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism

Abstract Background Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) constitutes a challenge for practitioners. Current practice involves use of pre-test probability prediction rules. Several strategies to optimize this process have been explored. Objectives To explore whether application of the pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC rule) and age-adjusted D-dimer (DD) would have reduced the number of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) examinations performed in patients with suspected PE. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study of adult patients taken for CTPA under suspicion of PE in 2018 and 2020. The PERC rule and age-adjusted DD were applied. The number of cases without indications for imaging studies was estimated and the operational characteristics for diagnosis of PE were calculated. Results 302 patients were included. PE was diagnosed in 29.8%. Only 27.2% of ‘not probable’ cases according to the Wells criteria had D-dimer assays. Age adjustment would have reduced tomography use by 11.1%, with an AUC of 0.5. The PERC rule would have reduced use by 7%, with an AUC of 0.72. Conclusions Application of age-adjusted D-dimer and the PERC rule to patients taken for CTPA because of suspected PE seems to reduce the number of indications for the procedure.
Early and Late Response and Glucocorticoid-Sparing Effect of Belimumab in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with Joint and Skin Manifestations: Results from the Belimumab in Real Life Setting Study—Joint and Skin (BeRLiSS-JS)

Aim. To assess the efficacy of belimumab in joint and skin manifestations in a nationwide cohort of patients with SLE. Methods. All patients with skin and joint involvement enrolled in the BeRLiSS cohort were considered. Belimumab (intravenous, 10 mg/kg) effectiveness in joint and skin manifestations was assessed by DAS28 and CLASI, respectively. Attainment and predictors of DAS28 remission (<2.6) and LDA (≥2.6, ≤3.2), CLASI = 0, 1, and improvement in DAS28 and CLASI indices ≥20%, ≥50%, and ≥70% were evaluated at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months. Results. DAS28 < 2.6 was achieved by 46%, 57%, and 71% of patients at 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. CLASI = 0 was achieved by 36%, 48%, and 62% of patients at 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. Belimumab showed a glucocorticoid-sparing effect, being glucocorticoid-free at 8.5%, 15.4%, 25.6%, and 31.6% of patients at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months, respectively. Patients achieving DAS-LDA and CLASI-50 at 6 months had a higher probability of remission at 12 months compared with those who did not (p = 0.034 and p = 0.028, respectively). Conclusions. Belimumab led to clinical improvement in a significant proportion of patients with joint or skin involvement in a real-life setting and was associated with a glucocorticoid-sparing effect. A significant proportion of patients with a partial response at 6 months achieved remission later on during follow-up.
Impact of Baseline Clinical Variables on SGLT2i’s Antiproteinuric Effect in Diabetic Kidney Disease

Introduction: Proteinuria is a major risk factor for the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) demonstrated a nephroprotective and antiproteinuric effect in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and proteinuric CKD. We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate clinical and laboratory variables that can help predict proteinuria reduction with SGLT2i therapy. Materials and methods: Patients affected by T2DM and CKD who started any SGLT2i were included in the study. Patients were stratified into two subgroups, Responder (R) and non-Responder (nR), based upon the response to the therapy with SGLT2i, namely the reduction in a 24 h urine proteins test (uProt) of ≥30% from baseline levels. The aim of the study is to analyse differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups and to investigate the relationship between them and the proteinuria reduction. A Kruskal–Wallis test, unpaired t-test and Chi2 test were used to test the difference in means and the percentage (%) between the two groups. Linear and logistic regressions were utilized to analyse the relationship between proteinuria reduction and basal characteristics. Results: A total of 58 patients were enrolled in the study: 32 patients (55.1%) were in the R group and 26 patients (44.9%) in the nR group. R’s patients had a significant higher uProt at baseline (1393 vs. 449 mg/24 h, p = 0.010). There was a significant correlation between baseline uProt and proteinuria reduction with SGLT2i in both univariate (β = −0.43, CI −0.55 to −031; p < 0.001) and multivariate analyses (β = −0.46, CI −0.57 to −0.35, p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, there was a significant positive correlation between the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria reduction (β = −17, CI −31 to −3.3, p = 0.016) and a significant negative correlation with body mass index (BMI) (β = 81, CI 13 to 50, p = 0.021). The multivariate logistic regressions show a positive correlation of being in the R group with diabetic retinopathy at baseline (Odds Ratio (OR) 3.65, CI 0.97 to 13.58, p = 0.054), while the presence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at baseline is associated with being in the nR group (OR 0.34, CI 0.09 to 1.22, p = 0.1), even if these statements did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions: In this real-life experience, following the administration of SGLT2i, a reduction of more than 30% in proteinuria was observed in more than half of the patients, and these patients had a significantly higher baseline proteinuria value. Variables such as eGFR and BMI are variables that, considered in conjunction with proteinuria, can help predict treatment response before therapy initiation. Different phenotypes of diabetic kidney disease may have an impact on the antiproteinuric response.
N-Acetyl-L-cysteine Affects Ototoxicity Evoked by Amikacin and Furosemide Either Alone or in Combination in a Mouse Model of Hearing Threshold Decrease

Drug-induced ototoxicity resulting from therapy with aminoglycoside antibiotics and loop diuretics is one of the main well-known causes of hearing loss in patients. Unfortunately, no specific protection and prevention from hearing loss are recommended for these patients. This study aimed at evaluating the ototoxic effects produced by mixtures of amikacin (AMI, an aminoglycoside antibiotic) and furosemide (FUR, a loop diuretic) in the mouse model as the hearing threshold decreased by 20% and 50% using auditory brainstem responses (ABRs). Ototoxicity was produced by the combinations of a constant dose of AMI (500 mg/kg; i.p.) on FUR-induced hearing threshold decreases, and a fixed dose of FUR (30 mg/kg; i.p.) on AMI-induced hearing threshold decreases, which were determined in two sets of experiments. Additionally, the effects of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC; 500 mg/kg; i.p.) on the hearing threshold decrease of 20% and 50% were determined by means of an isobolographic transformation of interactions to detect the otoprotective action of NAC in mice. The results indicate that the influence of a constant dose of AMI on FUR-induced hearing threshold decreases was more ototoxic in experimental mice than a fixed dose of FUR on AMI-induced ototoxicity. Moreover, NAC reversed the AMI-induced, but not FUR-induced, hearing threshold decreases in this mouse model of hearing loss. NAC could be considered an otoprotectant in the prevention of hearing loss in patients receiving AMI alone and in combination with FUR.
Halophytic Clonal Plant Species: Important Functional Aspects for Existence in Heterogeneous Saline Habitats

Plant modularity-related traits are important ecological determinants of vegetation composition, dynamics, and resilience. While simple changes in plant biomass resulting from salt treatments are usually considered a sufficient indicator for resistance vs. susceptibility to salinity, plants with a clonal growth pattern show complex responses to changes in environmental conditions. Due to physiological integration, clonal plants often have adaptive advantages in highly heterogeneous or disturbed habitats. Although halophytes native to various heterogeneous habitats have been extensively studied, no special attention has been paid to the peculiarities of salt tolerance mechanisms of clonal halophytes. Therefore, the aim of the present review is to identify probable and possible halophytic plant species belonging to different types of clonal growth and to analyze available scientific information on responses to salinity in these species. Examples, including halophytes with different types of clonal growth, will be analyzed, such as based on differences in the degree of physiological integration, ramet persistence, rate of clonal expansion, salinity-induced clonality, etc.
