The Metabolic Oncolytic Regimen For Effecting Lysis in Solid Tumors (Revised 2011)

Summary The Revised Metabolic Oncolytic Regimen is based on an approach to achieving lysis in solid tumors pioneered by Clarence Cone, Jr., Ph.D. (NASA, retired). Dr. Cone's novel therapy, which is reflected in patents granted various versions of same [U.S. patent #s 4,724,230 (1988), 4,724,234 (1988), and 4,935,450 (1990)] essentially involves manipulating various metabolic and biochemical pathways such that tumors produce prodigious quantities of lactic acid. This is achieved using a specific dietary regimen plus various synthetic and natural drugs, e.g., the bioflavonoid quercitin is employed to block export of lactate from the tumor which results in a lethal drop in intratumor pH. [The Cone therapy involves two treatment phases with a resting or nontreatment interval between them]. The principle shortcoming of the Cone therapy lies in the fact that it is hypoxic clusters within certain solid tumors - and not the entire tumor - which synthesizes and exports lactic acid
Title Droop Control of Distributed Electric Springs for StabilizingFuture Power Grid

This paper describes the droop control method for parallel operation of distributed electric springs for stabilizing ac power grid. It provides a methodology that has the potential of allowing reactive power controllers to work in different locations of the distribution lines of an ac power supply and for these reactive power controllers to support and stabilize the ac mains voltage levels at their respective locations on the distribution lines. The control scheme allows these reactive power controllers to have automatically adjustable voltage references according to the mains voltage levels at the locations of the distribution network. The control method can be applied to reactive power controllers embedded in smart electric loads distributed across the power grid for stabilizing and supporting the ac power supply along the distribution network. The proposed distributed deployment of electric springs is envisaged to become an emerging technology potentially useful for stabilizing power grids with substantial penetration of distributed and intermittent renewable power sources or weakly regulated ac power grid.
Diagrammatics of a colored SYK model and of an SYK-like tensor model, leading and next-to-leading orders

The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model is a model of q interacting fermions. Gross and Rosenhaus have proposed a generalization of the SYK model which involves fermions with different flavors. In terms of Feynman graphs, those flavors are reminiscent of the colors used in random tensor theory. This gives us the opportunity to apply some modern, yet elementary, tools developed in the context of random tensors to one particular instance of such colored SYK models. We illustrate our method by identifying all diagrams which contribute to the leading and next-to-leading orders of the 2-point and 4-point functions in the large N expansion and argue that our method can be further applied if necessary. In the second part, we focus on the recently introduced Gurau-Witten tensor model and also extract the leading and next-to-leading orders of the 2-point and 4-point functions. This analysis turns out to be remarkably more involved than in the colored SYK model.
Academic Procrastination among Undergraduates Attending School of Physical Education and Sports: Role of General Procrastination, Academic Motivation and Academic Self-Efficacy.

Today, procrastination is a more common phenomenon among students than ever. Because they have lots of thing to do but they have limited time. When the literature concerning procrastination is reviewed, it can be easily made out that reasons for procrastination behaviours are various. Because of these reasons, sometimes, we do not go into action until the very last minute, sometimes, we go into action after the scheduled time is over or we never go into action. Especially, undergraduates frequently exhibit procrastination behaviour toward their academic tasks such as preparing homework, studying and preparing for exams. Researches on this subject clearly show that it is impossible to explain procrastination behaviour with only one variable. So the aim of this study was to investigate whether general procrastination, academic motivation and academic self-efficacy can act as predictors of academic procrastination among undergraduates attending different departments (physical education and sport teaching, trainer education, sport management and recreation) at school of physical education and sports. In addition, their academic procrastination was examined in terms of gender, department and grade variables. The study group consisted of 774 students attending school of physical education and sports at Selcuk University, Samsun University, and Nigde University in Turkey. The academic procrastination scale, general procrastination scale, academic motivation scale, academic self-efficacy scale and a personal data form were used as scaling instruments. Pearson’s correlation coefficient, multiple regression analysis, independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data collected. The results show a significant positive correlation between academic procrastination and general procrastination, while the relationship between academic procrastination and, academic motivation, academic self-efficacy was not statistically significant. Furthermore, general procrastination was determined to be a significant predictor of academic procrastination. The results also show a significant difference in academic procrastination in terms of students’ departments and grade though levels of academic procrastination did not differ in terms of gender. These findings are discussed in the light of the relevant literature and some new directions for further studies are suggested. Key words: School of physical education and sports academic procrastination, general procrastination, academic motivation, academic self-efficacy.
When Eastern Labour Markets Enter Western Europe: CEECs Labour Market Institutions Upon Euro Zone Accession

This paper reviews the literature on the labour market institutions in European Union Member States in the context of monetary integration. Traditionally, labour markets are a key concept in the optimal currency area theory, playing the role of the only accommodation mechanism of asymmetric shocks after the monetary unification. There are several theoretical frameworks linking the institutional design of the labour market to the potential effectiveness of monetary policy in the context of currency areas. Many empirical studies addressed these issues too, yielding important policy implications for labour market reforms in the process of monetary unification. However, there seem to be "white spots" in this patchwork, which may actually be particularly useful from the perspective of CEECs upon the accession to the euro zone. We suggest these research directions encompassing labour supply and theoretical frameworks of labour market flexibility benchmarking in the context of monetary integration.
CMC surfaces in locally homogenous three-manifolds

This paper is a preliminary version. Throughout this paper, we let N denote the set of complete, locally homogeneous1 three-manifolds; for a given N ∈ N , we letM(N) denote the set of complete, embedded, constant mean curvature surfaces in N , and letM denote the union ⋃ N∈N M(N). We frequently restrict our attention to the subset N1 ⊂ N of complete, locally homogeneous three-manifolds with absolute sectional curvature at most 1 and to the related set M1 = ⋃ N∈N1M(N). We will study the geometry and topology of surfaces M ∈ M. For some of our results we will restrict our attention to the case where M has finite topology2. For the sake of simplicity, we will assume that both M and N are connected and orientable. We will call M minimal if its mean curvature is zero and will call M a CMC surface if its mean curvature is a positive constant. The classical examples of complete, embedded, finite topology minimal surfaces are the plane, the helicoid, and the catenoid, which were proven to be minimal by Meusnier [33] in 1776. In 1841 Delaunay [4] gave analytic descriptions of singly-periodic surfaces M(t), t ∈ (0, 1], of revolution in R with constant mean curvature one. The surface M(1) is the cylinder of radius 1 2 around the x1-axis and as t → 0, the surfaces M(t) converge to a periodic chain of unit radius spheres with centers on the x1-axis. By homothetically scaling the surface M(t) by positive constants λ, one obtains surfaces λM(t) of constant mean curvature 1 λ . As t→ 0, there exist numbers λ(t)→∞ so that the surfaces λ(t)M(t) converge smoothly on compact sets of R to the catenoid obtained by revolving the curve c(t) = (t, cosh t, 0) around the x1-axis. We will call the images of the surfaces {λM(t) | t ∈ ∗This material is based upon work for the NSF under Award No. DMS 0405836.

A Riemannian manifold N is locally homogeneous if given any two points p, q ∈ N , there exists an e > 0 such that the balls BN (p, e), BN (q, e) are isometric. M has finite topology means that it is homeomorphic to a compact surface c M minus a finite number of points.
Facial and Hand Landmark Measurements for Making Accurate Occlusal Vertical Dimension Determinations

The aim of this study is to create a more accurate method of measurement for determining occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). Many dentists face difficulties in determining correct OVD, especially in fully edentulous patients or patients who no longer have stable tooth contact. Hayakawa has created a formula for predicting occlusal vertical dimensions in the Mongoloid race of the Japanese population, and earlier studies have been conducted by Kusdhany et al. on the Deutero-Malay race of Indonesia. This is a cross-sectional study, and the measurements of certain facial and hand landmarks are compared to the measurement of OVD from the base of nasal septum to the inferior of the chin (Sn-Gn). The facial landmarks measured are inner zygomatic distance (Zy-Zy), inner to outer eye corner distance, interpupillary distance (P-P), pupil to mouth corner distance (P-Ch), tragus to eye corner distance (Tr-Cn), vertical ear length, palm length, thumb length, index finger length, little finger length, and the width of four fingers. The result of this study is the following multivariate analysis-based formula for measuring OVD: Sn-Gn = 28.01 + 0.44 (P-P) + 0.29 (Tr-Cn) + (−0.23 (width of four fingers)) + 5.98 (sex) [unit mm]. This formula can be used as a baseline for creating a more accurate measurement of OVD in edentulous patients. Clinical article (J Int Dent Med Res 2017; 10(Special Issue): pp. 696-700)
A Comparative Study of Intramedullary Nailing Versus Plating in Fracture Tibia and Fibula

DOI: 10.21276/sjams.2018. 6.3. 71 Abstract: Malalignment has been frequently reported after intramedullary stabilization of distal tibia fractures. Nails have also been associated with knee pain in several studies. Historically, plate fixation has resulted in increased risks of infection and non-union. Our purposes were to compare plate and nail stabilization for distal tibia shaft fractures by assessing complications and secondary procedures. We hypothesized that nails would be associated with more malalignment and non-union. 68 patients with extra-articular distal tibia shaft fractures with a mean age of 38 years (range, 18-95 years) and mean Injury Severity Score of 13.5 were included in this study. Patients were randomized to a reamed intramedullary nail (n =34) or a large fragment medial plate (n = 34). Forty fractures (39%) were open. Twenty-eight (27%) had concomitant fibula fractures that were stabilized. Outcomes like Mansion, nonunion, infection, and secondary operations were measured Eighty-three percent of infections occurred in open fracture (P < 0.001). Four patients (7.1%) developed nonunion after nailing versus two (4.2%) after plating (P = 0.25) with a trend for nonunion in patients who had distal fibula fixation (12% versus 4.1%, P = 0.09). All nonunion occurred after open fracture (P = 0.0007); the primary union rate for closed fractures was 100%. Primary angular malalignment of 5° or greater occurred in 13 patients with nails (23% of all nails) and four with plates (8.3% of all plates; P = 0.02 for plates versus nails). Six additional patients experienced malalignment after immediate weight bearing against medical advice. Valgus was the most common deformity (n = 16). Malunion was more common after open fracture (55%, P = 0.04). Eighty-five percent of patients with malalignment after nailing did not have fibula fixation. Eleven patients underwent 15 secondary procedures after plating, five of which were for prominent implant removal. This was not significantly different from patients treated with nailing: 10 patients had 14 procedures and five for prominent implant removal. High primary union rates were noted after surgical treatment of distal tibia shaft fractures with both no locked plates and reamed intramedullary nails. Rates of infection, non-union, and secondary procedures were similar. Open fractures had higher rates of infection, non-union, and mansion. Intramedullary nailing was associated with more malalignment versus plating.

Guidance for risk assessment of food and feed from genetically modified plants

This document provides updated guidance for the risk assessment of food and feed containing, consisting or produced from genetically modified (GM) plants, submitted within the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on GM food and feed. The risk assessment strategy for GM plants and derived food and feed proposed seeks to deploy appropriate approaches to compare GM plants and derived food and feed with their respective comparators. The underlying assumption of this comparative approach is that traditionally cultivated crops have gained a history of safe use for consumers and/or domesticated animals. The document provides guidance on how to perform the comparative analysis of the relevant characteristics of the GM plant. The document addresses the details of the different components of the risk assessment: the molecular characterisation, which provides information on the structure and expression of the insert(s) and on the stability of the intended trait(s); the toxicological assessment, which addresses the impact of biologically relevant change(s) in the GM plant and/or derived food and feed resulting from the genetic modification; the assessment of potential allergenicity, of the novel protein(s) as well as of the whole food derived from the GM plant; the nutritional assessment to evaluate whether food and feed derived from a GM plant is not nutritionally disadvantageous to humans and/or animals. In addition every section of the document addresses specifically the requirements for GM plants containing a combination of transformation events, providing guidance on how to establish that the combination is stable and that no interactions occurs between the events that may raise safety concerns. The document does not cover the environmental risk assessment of GM plants which is addressed in a stand-alone environmental risk assessment (ERA) guidance document developed by the EFSA GMO Panel.
Lithospheric structure and its relationship to seismic and volcanic activity in southwest China

[1] The Sichuan-Yunnan region in southwest China is located in the boundary area between the active Tibetan Plateau to the west and the stable South China platform to the east. This region is characterized by complex Cenozoic structures and active seismotectonics. In this study, we have used over 30,000 arrival times from 1315 local earthquakes recorded by 172 seismic stations to determine a detailed three-dimensional (3-D) P wave velocity structure of the lithosphere down to 85 km depth in this region. We have taken into account the complex morphology of the Moho discontinuity to conduct the tomographic inversions, which leads to a better result than that with a flat Moho as in the previous studies. Our results show that large velocity variations of up to 7% exist in the crust and upper mantle in the Sichuan-Yunnan region. The velocity image of the upper crust correlates with the surface geological features. The Sichuan basin is imaged as a prominent low-velocity zone, while the Panzhihua mining district is imaged as a high-velocity feature. Velocity changes are visible across some of the large fault zones, and the faults and some large crustal earthquakes seem to occur at the boundary areas between slow and fast velocity anomalies. Some of the faults, such as the Red River fault, may have cut through the crust and reached up to the upper mantle. Under the Tengchong volcanic area, strong low-velocity zones are visible down to 85 km depth, with a lateral extent of about 100 km, suggesting the existence of magma chambers under the volcano. It is unclear how the Tengchong intraplate volcanism was generated. It may be related to the collision processes between the Indian plate, Burma microplate and the Eurasian plate, and the possible subduction of the Burma microplate under the Eurasian plate. Another possibility is that it was caused by the extensional fractures of the lithosphere and the upward intrusion of the hot asthenospheric materials. It is also possible that the Tengchong volcanism represents a hot spot with a lower mantle origin.
Epicyclic gear train dynamics including mesh efficiency

The paper presents an epicyclic gear train dynamic mathematical model including mesh efficiency, bearings/seals losses and inertial effects. The mathematical model treats separately the mesh between sun and planets gears and the mesh between planets and ring gears. Two different ordinary efficiency values for each gear pair can be specified for forward and reverse power transmission through it. The mesh efficiency is inserted into the dynamic model through a change in the direction of the mean reaction force between tooth surfaces [4]. The extension of the equations valid for ordinary gearing to elementary gear train with epicyclic arrangement is made by using the kinematic inversion [2]. A formula for selecting the correct efficiency value, to be used in the model, depending on the direction of power flows along the epicyclic gear train is presented. Finally, in order to check the validity of the dynamic model proposed, a steady-state working condition is analysed in detail and the mesh efficiency resulting from a numerical simulation of the model is compared with analytical formulas [7].
Candidate Water Vapor Lines to Locate the H2O Snowline Through High-dispersion Spectroscopic Observations. II. The Case of a Herbig Ae Star

Observationally measuring the location of the H 2 O snowline is crucial for understanding planetesimal and planet formation processes, and the origin of water on Earth. In disks around Herbig Ae stars (T* ∼ 10,000 K, M* ≳ 2.5M⊙), the position of the H 2 O snowline is farther from the central star compared with that around cooler and less massive T Tauri stars. Thus, the H 2 O emission line fluxes from the region within the H 2 O snowline are expected to be stronger. In this paper, we calculate the chemical composition of a Herbig Ae disk using chemical kinetics. Next, we calculate the H 2 O emission line profiles and investigate the properties of candidate water lines across a wide range of wavelengths (from mid-infrared to submillimeter) that can locate the position of the H 2 O snowline. Those lines identified have small Einstein A coefficients ( ∼ 10 − 6 – 10 − 3 s−1) and relatively high upper-state energies (∼1000 K). The total fluxes tend to increase with decreasing wavelengths. We investigate the possibility of future observations (e.g., ALMA, SPICA/SMI-HRS) locating the position of the H 2 O snowline. Since the fluxes of those identified lines from Herbig Ae disks are stronger than those from T Tauri disks, the possibility of a successful detection is expected to increase for a Herbig Ae disk.
Structural roles of CTG repeats in slippage expansion during DNA replication

CTG triplet repeat sequences have been found to form slipped-strand structures leading to self-expansion during DNA replication. The lengthening of these repeats causes the onset of neurodegenerative diseases, such as myotonic dystrophy. In this study, electrophoretic and NMR spectroscopic studies have been carried out to investigate the length and the structural roles of CTG repeats in affecting the hairpin formation propensity. Direct NMR evidence has been successfully obtained the first time to support the presence of three types of hairpin structures in sequences containing 1–10 CTG repeats. The first type contains no intra-loop hydrogen bond and occurs when the number of repeats is less than four. The second type has a 4 nt TGCT-loop and occurs in sequences with even number of repeats. The third type contains a 3 nt CTG-loop and occurs in sequences with odd number of repeats. Although stabilizing interactions have been identified between CTG repeats in both the second and third types of hairpins, the structural differences observed account for the higher hairpin formation propensity in sequences containing even number of CTG repeats. The results of this study confirm the hairpin loop structures and explain how slippage occurs during
Imitation in Undergraduate Teaching and Learning.

Research in developmental psychology and neuroscience has demonstrated the critical role of imitation in human learning. Self-report questionnaires collected from 456 undergraduate students in two U.S. institutions and one Chinese institution demonstrated that undergraduate students from both U.S. and Chinese cultures used various imitations in learning, and most undergraduate students perceived those imitations to have positive effects on their learning. Gender, grade-level, disciplinary, and especially, cultural differences of undergraduate students’ uses of imitation and their perceptions of the usefulness of those imitations varied in ways that suggest the significance of broad norms using imitation in teaching and learning in higher education. This study contributed to a better understanding of the significance of imitation in undergraduate student learning across cultures, provided implications for teachers and students in using imitation as an effective teaching and learning tool, and offered important avenues for future research on the topic.
