Effects of Thermal Treatment on Gas Transport Through Porous Silica Membranes

Abstract The effects of thermal treatment from 180°C to 1150°C on the gas transport properties of porous silica membranes were systematically studied for various gases. The permeance of all gases, except for CO2, has a maximum at 800°C. The CO2 permeance was constant from 180°C to 600°C and then decreased monotonically. Membranes thermally treated at 1150°C did not exhibit any gas permeation because of pore collapse. The gas transport behavior follows a combination of Knudsen diffusion and surface diffusion for all gases tested except for carbon dioxide. The permeation of carbon dioxide is strongly affected by capillary condensation. We propose a new transport model composed of two components; that is, the Knudsen diffusion factor, α, and the surface diffusion factor, β. A transition was observed for α and β at around 800–900°C, which is close to the strain point of the membrane. This transition treatment temperature can be correlated with the changes in gas permeance. The model allows qualitative evaluation of gas transport through porous membranes regardless of their actual microporous structures.
Concentrations and source apportionment of particulate matter in different functional areas of Shanghai, China

Concentrations of atmospheric particulate matter with different sizes and 9 metallic elements (Al, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) were measured in two sampling sites of Baoshan District and Putuo District from July 2009 to September 2010, to investigate the size distribution and the possible sources of particulate matter. The results showed that in these two sampling sites, crustal elements mainly distributed in coarse mode and heavy metals all distributed in fine mode. Source apportionment results by enrichment factor and principal component analysis indicated that in Baoshan sampling site, PM0.43–2.1 was mainly from industrial metallurgical processes, while PM2.1–10 was mainly from re-suspended soil dust. Local road traffic source was the dominant contributor to PM0.43–2.1 and PM2.1–10 in Putuo sampling site.
Nano-engineered VEGF-C ameliorates gut lymphatic drainage, portal pressure and ascites in experimental portal hypertension

Objective: Gut lymphatic vessels are crucial in maintaining abdominal fluid homeostasis. We studied these vessels in clinical cirrhosis and explored effects of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C), a pro-lymphangiogenic factor, in experimental portal hypertension. Design: Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (vegfr3)-positive lymphatic channels were enumerated in duodenal (D2) biopsies from cirrhotic patients. Vegfr3 antibody-tagged lipid nanocarriers were used to formulate novel nano-engineered (E-VEGF-C) molecule for targeted lymphangiogenesis of gut lymphatic vessels. The uptake of E-VEGF-C was evaluated in lymphatic endothelial cells (LyECs) in vitro and in vivo. The effects of E-VEGF-C were tested in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic animal models of portal hypertension. Animals given nanocarriers alone served as vehicle. Mesenteric lymphatic vessel numbers/proliferation and drainage were analyzed. Abdominal ascites, hepatic and systemic hemodynamics was measured. Liver, duodenum, mesentery and plasma were examined. Results: In D2 biopsies, number of dilated vegfr3+ lymphatic vessels was significantly increased in decompensated as compared to compensated cirrhosis and correlated with presence of ascites. E-VEGF-C was efficiently taken up by the mesenteric LyECs. E-VEGF-C treated rats displayed a marked increase in the proliferation of mesenteric lymphatic vessels and drainage as compared to CCl4-vehicle. Ascites and mesenteric inflammation were markedly reduced in E-VEGF-C treated cirrhotic rats. Portal pressures were attenuated in both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic portal hypertensive rats treated with E-VEGF-C as compared to respective vehicle groups. Conclusion: E-VEGF-C molecule enhances mesenteric lymphangiogenesis and improves lymphatic vessel drainage, attenuating abdominal ascites and portal pressures. Targeted gut lymphangiogenesis may serve as an emerging therapy for portal hypertension.
Morphological Aspects of In-Situ Compatiblized Binary Polymer Blends With Variable Viscosity Ratios of Components

The in-situ compatiblized binary polymer blend polypropylene(PP)/polystyrene(PS)/ anhydrous aluminum chloride(AlCl3) was selected as a model system of a reactive polymer blend to investigate the effect of viscosity ratio of components at a constant shear rate on the phase morphological behavior in in-situ compatibilized systems. The results showed that the well-known interfacial compatibilization effect was related to variations of viscosity ratios of components in the reactive PP/PS blends with different contents of AlCl3 catalyst. The phase morphology evolution of the in-situ compatiblized reactive blend was determined by both the interfacial compatibilization and the variation of the viscosity ratio of components under the fixed mixing conditions, which showed characteristics obviously different from and much more complex than those in binary polymer blends generally compatiblized by added compatiblizers. The results implied that the variation of the viscosity ratio of components should be checked carefully and taken into account if necessary, when the phase morphology of binary polymer blends is investigated, especially in complex in-situ compatiblized reactive polymer blends.
EFFECT OF GIBBERELLIN ON GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF Spondias tuberosa SEEDLINGS

The development of technologies will certainly contribute to boost the commercial exploitation and domestication of Spondias tuberosa. The objective of the present study was to identify morphophysiological effects of gibberellin on the growth of S. tuberosa seedlings. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Goiás State University, Brazil, using 300-day-old S. tuberosa seedlings planted in 12-liter pots containing soil (Typic Hapludox), sand, and manure (3:1:0.5). The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with five replications and six treatments consisting of single foliar applications of 30 mL plant of solutions with different gibberellin (GA3) concentrations (0, 150, 300, 450, 600, and 750 mg L), using a manual sprayer. The plants were evaluated at 60 days after the applications. The maximum biomass accumulation in S. tuberosa seedlings was found with the use of 415 mg L of GA3. The use of gibberellin accelerated the vegetative growth of S. tuberosa plants and enabled the formation of seedlings with better root system and xylopodium, and aerial parts with greater number of leaves, leaf area, and stem weight.
Significant impact of nationwide SARS-CoV-2 lockdown measures on the circulation of other respiratory virus infections

Since the worldwide spread of SARS-CoV-2, different European countries reacted with temporarily nationwide lockdowns with the aim to limit the virus transmission in the population. Also Austria started a lockdown of public life in March. In this study we investigated whether the circulation of different respiratory virus infections in Austria, as assessed by using the established respiratory virus surveillance system, is affected by these measures as well and may reflect the success of the lockdown in limiting respiratory virus transmission. Sentinel data obtained for influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, human metapneumovirus and rhinovirus cases were analyzed and compared between the season 2019/ 2020 and the five previous seasons. We observed a rapid and statistically significant reduction of cumulative cases for all these viruses within short time after the lockdown in March 2020, compared to previous seasons (each p<0.001). Also, sentinel screening for SARS-CoV-2 infections was performed and a decrease of SARS-CoV-2 was seen after the lockdown. While for the seasonally occurring viruses as influenza, respiratory syncytial virus or human metapneumovirus the lockdown led to the end of the annual epidemics, a re-increase of rhinovirus infections was observed after liberalization of numerous lockdown measures. Our data provide evidence that occurrence of different respiratory virus infections reflect not only the efficiency of lockdown measures taken against SARS-CoV-2 but also the effects of their release on respiratory transmission.
Patterns of white matter degeneration in remote brain areas from the basal ganglion lesion of ischemic stroke patients with motor impairment

Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have revealed distinct white matter characteristics of the brain following diseases. Beyond the lesion-symptom mapping, recent studies have demonstrated extensive structural and functional alterations of remote areas to local lesions caused by stroke in the brain. Here, we further investigated the structural changes from a global level using DTI data through multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) and network-based statistic (NBS). Methods: Ten ischemic stroke patients with basal ganglia lesions and motor dysfunctions and eleven demographically matched adults as controls underwent brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging scans. DTI data were processed to obtain fractional anisotropy (FA) maps and MVPA was used to explore brain regions that play an important role in classification based on FA maps. The white matter (WM) structural network was constructed by the deterministic fiber tracking approach according to the Automated Anatomical Labeling (AAL) atlas. NBS was used to explore differences in structural networks between groups. Results: MVPA applied to FA images correctly identified stroke patients with a statistically significant accuracy of 100% (P≤0.001). Compared with the controls, the study patients showed FA reductions in the perilesional basal ganglia and brainstem, with a few showing reductions in bilateral frontal lobes. Using NBS, we found a significant decrease in FA-weighted WM subnetwork in stroke patients. Conclusions: We identified some patterns of WM degeneration affecting brain areas remote to the ischemic lesion, revealing the abnormal organization of WM network in stroke patients, which may be helpful for the understanding of the neural mechanisms of stroke sequela.
Effect of Cellulase Genes Recombinant L. reuteri on Digestibility of Diet Crude Fiber and Adhesion in Gut of Chicken

Background: The aim of this test was study the gut adhesion ability of recombinant Lactobacilli and their improvement of the digestibility of crude fiber in chick diet. Methods: The adhesion ability was observed through in vitro and in vivo tests. Intestinal epithelial cells and recombinant Lactobacillus were co-cultured for observation of adhesion. One hundred one-day-old chicks were randomly divided into four groups; C15, C73, C1573 and control. Each chick in C15, C73, C1573 and control were orally gavaged with 200 ìL of fermentation broth of recombinant L. reuteri XNY-Cel15, 200 ìL of fermentation broth of recombinant L. reuteri XNY-Cel73 and 200 ìL of broth containing equal XNY-Cel15 and XNY-Cel73, 200 ìL of MRS broth, once at the beginning of the trial respectively. Result: Recombinant L. reuteri adhered to chick intestinal epithelial cells which co-cultured together in vitro. After feeding for 30 days, the reporter genes of recombinant Lactobacillus was detected in the crop, small intestine and cecum of trial chicks, with their sequences corresponding to those of the insert genes. The digestibility of crude fiber in experimental groups was higher than that in control group and the digestibility of C15 was significantly higher than other groups (P less than 0.01). It showed that the recombinant Lactobacillus can survive in the digestive tract of chicken for more than 30 days and helped to decompose the crude fiber in the digestive tract.
Debt Structure, Rollover Risk, and Payout Policy

This paper examines the effects of the rollover risk of debt on firms’ payout policies, taking into account differences in the structure of debt. The results show that in the face of rollover risk, firms decrease dividends; in addition, they decrease the total payout given to shareholders including stock repurchases. However, these results only hold for the bank-dependent firms, not for firms with public debt. We find that the relationships between rollover risk and payout policy become weak for firms without any financing constraints. Our results imply that firms’ payout policies can be attenuated when firms facing financial constraints need more financial flexibility.
High-Temperature Degradation Mechanism of Cu(In,Ga)Se2-Based Thin Film Solar Cells

The degradation mechanism of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells under high-temperatures conditions has been investigated. CIGS thin film solar cells were heated at temperatures ranging from 100 to 450 °C in a vacuum for 30 min. It was found that the CIGS devices with chemical bath deposited (CBD)–CdS and CBD–ZnS(O,OH) buffer layers were stable below 320 and 350 °C, respectively. These results suggest that CIGS devices possess high heat-resistance enough for practical usage. Secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS) and electron beam induced current (EBIC) analyses revealed that the main cause for the degradation of CIGS devices at high temperatures is attributable to a shift of the space charge region (SCR) toward the Mo back contact due to excess diffusion of Cd into CIGS absorber layer.
Viral and Bacterial Pneumonia Detection using Artificial Intelligence in the Era of COVID-19

Background: The outbreak of COVID-19 on the eve of January 2020 has led to global crisis around the world. The disease was declared pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) in mid-March. Currently the outbreak has affected more than 150 countries with more than 20 million confirmed cases and more than 700,000 death tolls. The standard method for detection of COVID-19 is the Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) which is less sensitive, expensive and required specialized health expert. As the number of cases continue to grow, there is high need for developing rapid screening method that is accurate, fast and cheap. Methods: We proposed the use of Deep Learning approach based on Pretrained AlexNet Model for classification of COVID-19, non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia and normal Chest X-rays Images (CXR) scans obtained from different public databases. Result and Conclusion: For non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia and healthy datasets, the model achieved 94.43% accuracy, 98.19% Sensitivity and 95.78% Specificity. For bacterial pneumonia and healthy datasets, the model achieved 91.43% accuracy, 91.94% sensitivity and 100% Specificity. For COVID-19 pneumonia and healthy CXR images, the model achieved 99.16% accuracy, 97.44% sensitivity and 100% Specificity. For classification of COVID-19 pneumonia and non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia, the model achieved 99.62% accuracy, 90.63% sensitivity and 99.89% Specificity. For multiclass datasets the model achieved 94.00% accuracy, 91.30% sensitivity and 84.78% specificity for COVID-19, bacterial pneumonia and healthy. For 4 classes (COVID-19, non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia and healthy, the model achieved accuracy of 93.42%, sensitivity of 89.18% and specificity of 98.92%.
Mechanics of Polymer−Clay Nanocomposites

The mechanics of nanocomposites is critical in the design of nanomaterials with desirable properties. In this paper, the mechanics of polymer−clay nanocomposites is studied using a designed polymer and solution nanocomposite synthesis. A copolymer latex, with function groups that strongly interact with the surface of the clay nanoplatelet and glass-transition temperature lower than room temperature, was synthesized. Uniformly dispersed nanocomposites were then generated using water as the intercalation agent through the solution process. The chain mobility in the nanocomposites is greatly reduced as studied by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and dielectric thermal analysis (DETA). The modulus of the composite increases significantly. The modulus enhancement strongly relates to the volume of the added clay as well as the volume of the constrained polymer. This modulus enhancement follows a power law with the content of the clay and is modeled well by Mooney's equation for this soft-polymer-based.
Distrubution of Antibiotic Resistance in Urinary Tract Infections in Children; a Five-Year Evaluation

Distrubution antibiotic tract five-year Abstract Objective: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of microorganisms, antibiotic resistance rates, and changes over a five-year period in order to plan timely and appropriately the treatment of urinary tract infections in children. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, data were obtained by screening the microbiology laboratory records from the automation system of our hospital. Urine samples were collected by the midstream urine or bag culture. 105 colonies with a single microorganism in a urine culture were evaluated as positive urine culture. A total of 4938 urine cultures were retrospectively screened over a five-year period. Results: Of the total 613 (12.4%) positive urine cultures, 83.4% were identified as gram-negative and 16.6% as gram-positive. The most common bacteria in gram-negative growth was Escherichia coli (68.3%), followed by Proteus spp. (16.4%) and Klebsiella spp. (10.6%). The most common bacteria in gram-positive agents was Enterococcus spp. 42.2%. be 22/102 (21.6%) in 2017. The highest ampicillin resistance was observed in Klebsiella strains (79.6%) and the lowest in Proteus strains (44%). Increased ampicillin resistance (54.2% to 66.7%) and decreased trimethoprime/sulfamethoxazole resistance (54.2% to 45.1%) were found over the years. Conclusion: We think that aminoglycosides and nitrofurantoin can be effectively used as an alternative option in empirical treatment due to increased resistance to ESBL, ampicillin, and amoxicillin clavulanate. Antibiotic selection should be customized according to the results of urine culture antibiogram.
Water Use Efficiency of Acacia seyal (Del.) in extreme arid environment prevails in South-Western Desert, Egypt

The present investigation involves the studies of water use efficiency of Acacia seyal (Del.) seedlings under extreme arid conditions. Experiments were performed in a hyper arid environment to study the effects of drought stress using different water regimes at 12%, 9%, 6%, 4% and 2%. Calculated instantaneous water use efficiency was measured under full Photosynthetic Active Radiation range (0-2500μmolsm). Acacia seyal showed maximum photosynthesis rate at 9% soil moisture content, and at high Photosynthetic Active Radiation levels. Maximum transpiration rate recorded at 9% soil moisture content at highest Photosynthetic Active Radiation. The maximum instantaneous water use efficiency was noticed at 4% soil moisture content at high Photosynthetic Active Radiation level. Acacia seyal maximized photosynthesis rate and minimized transpiration rate, giving maximum instantaneous water use efficiency at the high Photosynthetic Active Radiation and low soil moisture content levels.
Fentanyl, Morphine, and Opioid-Induced Constipation in Patients with Cancer-Related Pain

Opioid drugs are known to inhibit gastric emptying and peristalsis in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which results in delayed absorption of medications and increased absorption of fluid. At the receptor level, in the GI tract, the mu and delta receptors predominate and are found in the myenteric and submucosal plexus. The opioid receptors stimulate the production of adenylate cyclase and inhibit the calcium channels, which, in turn, results in a decrease in neurotransmitter release. Tolerance to opioids not only develops pain but also the pharmacological effects on the GI tract. [1,2] The lack of fluid in the intestine leads to hardening of stool and constipation. Most patients with opioid-induced constipation complain of straining and incomplete emptying of the rectum during defecation. Opioids also increase the anal sphincter tone impairing the defecation reflex. Moreover, opioids have been found to decrease emptying of pancreatic juice and bile leading to delayed digestion. [3-5]
Study on Heat Transfer from a Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor to a Membrane Wall

The importance of projection and splashing of bubbling bed particles on the heat transfer rate towards a membrane wall heat exchanger placed above the bed was studied.To characterize the heat transferred from a bubbling fluidized bed to a membrane wall heat exchanger placed above the freeboard, a laboratory scale fluidized bed reactor, heated by a 2 kW electric resistance, was used. The reactor, with an internal diameter of 54.5 mm, had two 0.83 m height double pipe heat exchangers placed one above the other. Only the heat exchanger close to the bed surface participated in the heat exchange process. Tests were done without and with combustion.For experiments without combustion the bed was fluidized with air at superficial velocities of 0.2 to 0.5 m/s in the 400-700 °C temperature range. For experiments with combustion, the fluidizing gas was obtained through propane combustion in the bed in 700-720 °C temperature range, for superficial velocities of 0.2 to 0.3 m/s. Five different bed particle sizes were considered: 107.5, 142.5, 180, 282.5 and 357.5 µm. Particle convective heat transfer coefficients were obtained in the range of 2 to 16 W/m²/K and a correlation for the corresponding Nusselt number as a function of the fluidization characteristics and the combustion equivalence ratio is proposed.For the three smaller bed particle sizes, the particle entrainment ratio had a strong influence on the heat transferred towards the membrane wall and the corresponding bed particle entrainment rate was determined and correlated with the fluidization characteristics and the combustion equivalence ratio.
