Chronic myeloid leukemia data from India

Abstract In an effort to collaborate the data of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patient from all over India,meeting was conceived by ICON ( Indian Cooperative Oncology Network) in 2010. This article presents the summarized picture of the data presented in the meeting. In the meeting 8115 patients data was presented and 18 centres submitted their manuscripts comprising of 6677 patients. This data represents large series of patients from all over the country treated on day to day clinical practice and presents the actual outcomes of CML patients in India. The compilation of data confirms the younger age at presentation, increased incidence of resistance and poor outcomes in patients with late chronic phase. It also addresses the issues like Glivec versus Generic drug outcomes, safety of Imatinib during pregnancy and mutational analysis among resistant patients. It concludes that survival and quality of life of CML patients in India has improved over the years especially when treated in early chronic phase. The generic drug is a good option where original is unable to reach the patient due to various reasons. Hopefully, this effort will provide a platform to conduct systematic studies in learning the best treatment options among CML patients in Indian settings.
Contribution au transport de poudre par actionnement piézoélectrique ultrasonique

Les systemes industriels de transport de poudre sont, en general, des systemes mecaniques bruyants, energivores, mais surtout couteux en maintenance. L’objectif de cette these consiste a investiguer des solutions alternatives exploitant des vibrations ultrasonores, moins contraignantes pour la structure et ses jonctions. Dans une premiere partie, une methode de transport, baptisee « frottement controle », exploite un actionnement piezo-electrique afin de moduler le coefficient de frottement equivalent entre la poudre et son guide de transport en mouvement. La mise en œuvre experimentale de cette methode demontre son potentiel et vient egalement corroborer une proposition de modele analytique simplifie pour ce mode de transport. Dans une seconde partie, des solutions exploitant uniquement des vibrations ultrasonores sont etudiees. Ces solutions se basent sur la generation et le controle d’une onde progressive acoustique dans un element de type poutre ou tube. Des modeles analytiques et elements finis de ces differentes solutions de transport sont exploitees afin de mieux apprehender les phenomenes physiques influencant le transport, mais aussi afin d’optimiser le dimensionnement de la structure en minimisant le taux d’onde stationnaire. En se basant sur les considerations et preconisations precedentes, des bancs de tests specifiques a chacune des solutions envisagees sont developpes. Les differentes campagnes d’essais realisees permettent finalement de mener une analyse comparative de la qualite des solutions de transport de poudre par onde ultrasonique.
Arterial tonometry for noninvasive, continuous blood pressure monitoring during anesthesia.

Arterial tonometry is a technique used to measure arterial blood pressure noninvasively. The authors developed a new tonometer system containing an array of 15 piezoresistive pressure transducers, a mechanical positioning system, signal conditioning and multiplexing electronics, and a display and control console. The authors evaluated the accuracy, reliability, and clinical acceptability of this system by comparing tonometric blood pressure measurements with intraarterial blood pressure measurements in 60 anesthetized patients. Blood pressure was measured intraarterially in either the right or left radial artery by a Gould P23XL calibrated transducer, whereas blood pressure was measured by tonometer at the radial artery of the other arm. The tonometric waveform was similar to the intraarterial waveform. Simultaneous tonometer and intraarterial systolic blood pressures of the 60 patients (3,036 data sets) had an overall regression coefficient, r = 0.97, and an equation, regression equation = 0.95X + 5.8. Similar values were obtained for mean and diastolic pressures. Regression analyses of the paired tonometric and intraarterial blood pressure values showed good correlations in both sexes and in ages ranging from 8 to 82 yr (r = 0.94-0.97). Mean absolute values of error (precision) for the systolic, mean, and diastolic measurements did not differ significantly among the five systolic, five mean, and four diastolic pressure groups and ranged from 3.6 to 6.6 mmHg, with negligible bias, with intraarterial pressure used as the reference. Bias for the various pressure groups was small: -0.9-3.6 mmHg for systolic; -3.0-0.7 mmHg for mean; and -2.1-4.5 mmHg for diastolic. The "limits of agreement" (mean difference +/- two standard deviations) were within an acceptable range for clinical anesthesia. (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Research on power factor improvement technology of quasi-Z-source

This paper proposes a novel control strategy for electrolytic capacitor-less quasi-Z-source inverter, which fed adjustable-speed drive (ASD) system with almost unit input power factor. The system has no shoot through issues and gains high reliability. By using E-caps-less topology, the life time can be greatly increased. In order to guarantee the high power factor and the ability of resisting grid voltage sags, the voltage and current double closed loop structure is used to control the QZSI. Choose PMSM driving system as the control object, a new control strategy is adopted to improve the power factor further. The effectiveness of the proposed system has been verified by simulation.
Muramyl dipeptide and anti‐CD10 monoclonal antibody immunoconjugate enhances anti‐leukemia immunity of T lymphocytes

It is necessary to completely eliminate minimal residual disease (MRD) to cure acute leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) have been shown to be effective to eliminate MRD. In this study we aimed to investigate the effect of anti‐CD10 MAb conjugated to muramyl dipeptide immunoconjugate (MDP‐Ab) on the function of lymphocytes and activated lymphocytes using leukemia xenografts in nude mice as a model. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and induced into dendritic cells (DCs) and lymphocytes. Cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes was detected by LDH release assay. Leukemia xenografts in nude mice were established to assess tumor growth. We found that the killing rate was significantly higher in MDP‐Ab group, LPS group and MDP‐Ab+LPS group than in control group, and was the highest in MDP‐Ab+LPS group. Tumor‐bearing mice in MDP‐Ab group showed obvious coagulation necrosis. In conclusion, our data suggest that MDP‐Ab could effectively prime DCs to improve the anti‐tumor immunity of T lymphocytes and inhibit the tumor growth. MDP‐Ab may be used as suitable candidate for eliminating residual leukemia cells to prevent relapse.
Research Issues in Pervasive Health Care Monitoring Applications and Systems

Health monitoring of patients has been proposed to reduce health care expenses by managing chronic conditions, resulting fewer hospitalizations and improving patients' quality of life. Thus health monitoring of patients can be applied at any time at any location. Pervasive health care monitoring has the advantages of reduced medical costs, increased medical quality, continuous and timely patient monitoring, complete patient physical data collection, and timely decisions of the correct adaptive remedy. They can also reduce the time between the occurrence of an emergency and the arrival of the needed help. Although a large number of research papers and survey papers on health care monitoring systems are already accessible, many novel ideas and applications are progressively emerging and providing potential opportunities and challenges for further research. In this paper an overview of pervasive health care monitoring systems is presented. The main objective is to identify emerging trends and research issues in health monitoring

This paper presents an overview of Blockchain Technology and its potential applications in developing countries especially Uganda. It was noted thatthese nations have the potential to progress, but do not have adequate access to present day technology, primarily due to lack of infrastructure and thus Blockchain Technology will fill the gaps. Fundamentally, these nations need transparency, security
Recognition of Dynamic Data Structures to Support Porting of Applications to the Cloud

In the present work we describe a methodology, based on previous research efforts, for the recognition of dynamic Data structures (queue, pipe, stack and similar) from sequential source code. The recognized structures are then mapped to Cloud services in order to support the semi-automatic restructuring of the source code. The objective is to support software developers in the complex process of porting their native applications to a Cloud Platform, through a general methodology which is independent from the target environment. A prototype tool which implements the methodology is also presented, with examples of the intermediate representations of source code (parallel skeletons, Cloud patterns) and of the Prolog rules which enable the recognition and the transformation process.
Chapter 3: The Impact of Inter-Firm Collaborations on SME Internationalisation

Several studies have proposed that small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) lack resources and experiential knowledge to internationalise to distant markets. The authors argue that SMEs can handle the lack of these tangible and intangible internal resources through external collaborations; they can achieve success in international markets by collaborating with business partners. The role of inter-firm marketing collaboration and its impact on internationalisation efforts has not been thoroughly studied, particularly in the context of SMEs. This study will thus advance our understanding of SMEs’ inter-firm marketing collaborations and how they influence performance in international markets. In this chapter, authors conceptually develop this line of arguments through an extensive literature review and develop some hypotheses and a framework that can be empirically tested. The authors believe this framework will serve as a starting point for further studies on this topic. Theoretically, we endeavour to contribute by showing that firms can enhance their level of international performance through inter-firm collaboration. The authors believe this type of study would have considerable theoretical as well as managerial implications in this important field of research.
Centers of Gravity: The Effect of Stable Shared Leadership in Top Management Teams on Firm Growth and Industry Evolution

Research Summary We study the processes of firm growth in the evolution of the Japanese cotton spinning industry during 1883–1914 by integrating strategy and historical approaches and utilizing rich quantitative firm‐level data and detailed business histories. The resultant conceptual model highlights growth outcomes of path dependencies as firms evolve across periods of single versus shared leadership, establish stability in shared leadership, or experience repeated discord‐induced top management team (TMT) leader departures. While most firms do not experience smooth transitions to stable shared TMT leadership, a focus on value creation, in conjunction with talent recruitment and promotion, enabled some firms to achieve stable shared leadership despite discord‐induced departures, engage in long‐term expansion, and emerge as “centers of gravity” for output and talent in the industry. Managerial Summary We demonstrate stable shared leadership is at root of firms who emerge as centers of gravity in an industry and account for the lion's share of output. Stable shared leadership enables growth strategies such as talent recruitment, product diversification, downstream integration, and acquisitions. Stable shared leadership, however, is extremely difficult to maintain. Most firms experience discord‐induced departures in TMTs due to politics and power struggles. Firms that deviate from this norm to become industry leaders achieve stable shared leadership by adhering to fundamental principles related to long‐term value creation as opposed to short‐term gain, adoption of merit‐based promotion systems in defiance of stereotypes, sharing of power within TMT leadership to enable efficient division of labor, and honorable resolution of conflicts and ethical breaches.
NS4: A P4-driven Network Simulator

We present NS4, a P4-driven network simulator, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the first research effort in applying P4 to network simulation. Key features of NS4 include (1) elimination of laborious and redundant work for developing internal models of the simulator; (2) direct migration from simulation code to real-world P4 devices; (3) simulation of P4-enabled devices and network systems; (4) seamless compatibility with ns-3; (5) better scalability over other P4 behavioral model validation tools. We proposed and prototyped NS4 by integrating a P4 behavioral model in ns-3, and evaluated its effectiveness by a user case study. Source codes and examples of NS4 are publicly available at https://ns-4.github. io/
Lipopolysaccharide Phosphorylation by the WaaY Kinase Affects the Susceptibility of Escherichia coli to the Human Antimicrobial Peptide LL-37*

Background: LL-37 is a human antimicrobial peptide that acts by damaging bacterial membranes. Results: The absence of WaaY kinase decreases E. coli susceptibility to LL-37. Conclusion: Lipopolysaccharide phosphorylation by WaaY is relevant to LL-37 activity. Significance: This work provides insight into the first interaction of LL-37 and the bacterial outer membrane. The human cathelicidin LL-37 is a multifunctional host defense peptide with immunomodulatory and antimicrobial roles. It kills bacteria primarily by altering membrane barrier properties, although the exact sequence of events leading to cell lysis has not yet been completely elucidated. Random insertion mutagenesis allowed isolation of Escherichia coli mutants with altered susceptibility to LL-37, pointing to factors potentially relevant to its activity. Among these, inactivation of the waaY gene, encoding a kinase responsible for heptose II phosphorylation in the LPS inner core, leads to a phenotype with decreased susceptibility to LL-37, stemming from a reduced amount of peptide binding to the surface of the cells, and a diminished capacity to lyse membranes. This points to a specific role of the LPS inner core in guiding LL-37 to the surface of Gram-negative bacteria. Although electrostatic interactions are clearly relevant, the susceptibility of the waaY mutant to other cationic helical cathelicidins was unaffected, indicating that particular structural features or LL-37 play a role in this interaction.
Does the Use of Special Purpose Entities Affect Firm Value? Evidence from Indonesian Listed Nonfinancial Firms

This objective of this paper is to examine the effect of the use of special purpose entities (SPEs) on firm value. Applying a multiple regression analysis on a sample of 124 Indonesian listed nonfinancial firms during the year 2015 and using Tobin's Q ratio as a proxy for firm value, this paper finds a positive relation between the use of SPEs and firm value. The results show that the effect of the use SPEs on firm value is statistically and economically significant, where firms that use SPEs have a 21.52% higher value than firms that do not use SPEs. The sources of higher firm value might result from lower cost of capital, higher after-tax cash flows, and increased information value of reported earnings associated with the use of SPEs to serve tax planning, financing, and financial reporting objectives. Keywords— special purpose entities; securitization; bankruptcy costs; tax planning; earnings management; firm value
Endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2 + measurements reveal that the cardiac ryanodine receptor mutations linked to cardiac arrhythmia and sudden death alter the threshold for store-overload-induced Ca 2 + release

A number of RyR2 (cardiac ryanodine receptor) mutations linked to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death are located within the last C-terminal ∼500 amino acid residues, which is believed to constitute the ion-conducting pore and gating domain of the channel. We have previously shown that mutations located near the C-terminal end of the predicted TM (transmembrane) segment 10, the inner pore helix, can either increase or decrease the propensity for SOICR (store-overload-induced Ca2+ release), also known as spontaneous Ca2+ release. In the present study, we have characterized an RyR2 mutation, V4653F, located in the loop between the predicted TM 6 and TM 7a, using an ER (endoplasmic reticulum)-targeted Ca2+-indicator protein (D1ER). We directly demonstrated that SOICR occurs at a reduced luminal Ca2+ threshold in HEK-293 cells (human embryonic kidney cells) expressing the V4653F mutant as compared with cells expressing the RyR2 wild-type. Single-channel analyses revealed that the V4653F mutation increased the sensitivity of RyR2 to activation by luminal Ca2+. In contrast with previous reports, the V4653 mutation did not alter FKBP12.6 (FK506-binding protein 12.6 kDa; F506 is an immunosuppressant macrolide)– RyR2 interaction. Luminal Ca2+ measurements also showed that the mutations R176Q/T2504M, S2246L and Q4201R, located in different regions of the channel, reduced the threshold for SOICR, whereas the A4860G mutation, located within the inner pore helix, increased the SOICR threshold. We conclude that the cytosolic loop between TM 6 and TM 7a plays an important role in determining the SOICR threshold and that the alteration of the threshold for SOICR is a common mechanism for RyR2associated ventricular arrhythmia.
Cross-polarized printable chipless RFID tag with superior data capacity

A novel technique in chipless RFID systems is presented providing high data capacity on a fully printable tag. Tag structure includes small polarizers that orthogonally backscatter signal respect to the interrogation wave. The reader utilizes a simple continuous wave (CW) form on its separate TX and RX antennas. The fully printable tag is capable of carrying up to 35 bits in a credit card size while the system is very robust towards multipath, clutter and noise. The printer inaccuracy is also considered in the proposed theory and suitable solution is suggested. High data capacity, small frequency band usage, fully printable tag, robustness to multipath and noise are the main aspects of the proposed technique.
Growing New Corporate Businesses: From Initiation to Graduation

Large companies initiate many new businesses, but few of them reach scale. The ambidexterity literature describes how companies create exploratory businesses, but says little about how they subsequently scale these businesses. The strategy literature uses real option theory to explain the transition to scale, but does not consider the complex relationships between corporate ventures and their parent organizations. By comparing six longitudinal cases of large firms' new business initiatives, we find that corporate businesses that scale undergo a graduation process in which they meet the varying expectations of multiple organizational resource providers. At the unit level, they convince established core units that the potential value from combining their resources exceeds the cost of cannibalization and internal competition. They do so by initially differentiating themselves to develop distinctive capabilities, but subsequently integrate these capabilities with those of the core units. At the corporate level, the new units demonstrate their value by adding strategic capabilities that complement those of their main organizations. They initially integrate with their corporate parents to ensure resource flows, but then differentiate themselves to develop their own strategic profile. We contribute to the ambidexterity literature by unpacking the triggers, conditions, and interaction patterns that allow exploratory units to scale. We also contribute to the strategy literature by showing the importance of multilevel exchange relationships, complementary resources, time effects, and identity dynamics for corporate decisions on whether, and when, to scale new opportunities.
