Single Stage Cranioplasty Following Benign Calvarial Tumor Resection using Anatomised Three Dimentional Printed Model

In prehistoric era archeological evidences suggest that cranial defect (Trephination) reconstruction was done with gold, silver and shells. The next advancement was the use of bone grafts in late 19th century. In 20th century alternative of bone graft, metals and plastics were used. Cranial reconstruction can be done by autografts, allografts, distinct biomaterials, and even osteoinductive growth factors. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is one of the most popular materials used for cranioplasty. But attainment of desired shape, size and cosmesis is difficult. This problem can be solved with the help of 3 dimentional printing technology, using prefabricated model (template) to prepare implant preoperatively. In this case report, we developed a computer-generated model (template) using the 3D Object printer. A mould (template) was created and it was used intra-operatively to produce a PMMA-alloplastic cranial implant that was well fitted into the anatomical defect. A well-fitted implant improves cosmetic outcome, self confidence and reduces the risk of implant movement or extrusion. 3D printed model helps us to provide exact dimensions of the bony defect along with good cosmesis, accuracy and strength of the anatomic replacement.
Expectation-Driven Facilitation in Japanese: its Independence from Distance

Synopsis: We designed an experiment with Japanese interrogative sentences, and show that the expectation-driven facilitation and the locality-driven difficulty are independently observed even when both of the dependencies are simultaneously terminated by the single word (V+ka). In sum, we suggest that the parser handles a dependency with a syntactic wh-feature and that with lexical/semantic information separately, even when they were encoded in the same lexical item.
An automatic statistical inference approach using Hilbert space embeddings and approximate Bayesian computation Topics in Bayesian Inference applied to Probabilistic Power Flow Analysis

In many science and engineering applications, the central aim concerns the estimation of some parameters that describe a system, using a set of samples or observations representing a particular behavior. In most cases, such an estimation is a difficult task due to the noise contained in the samples, demanding a treatment from probabilistic perspectives. In particular, Bayesian estimation is a useful tool for inferring model parameters since it includes prior knowledge to handle the uncertainty, especially in real-life applications. For straightforward systems, it is easy to find and assess an expression for the likelihood function. However, in non-trivial systems, the application of any Bayesian framework is a very challenging task, because the complexity of a model means that the associated likelihood is computationally intractable, or that it is not even possible to determine an analytical formula for the likelihood function. In this regard, numerical simulation-based techniques have been widely used across the literature since they provide an alternative to the problem of applying Bayesian inference with intractable likelihoods. In particular, Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) allows statistical inference without using a likelihood function via an auxiliary model that generates simulations of the system, which are somehow compared to the observations. Recent progress in this field has included kernel methods and Hilbert spaces to support the Bayesian inference scheme, using probability density functions over the observed and simulated data. The estimation strategy of these densities is an essential component during the inference process, and the selection of free parameters not only in the density estimation but also in the general ABC-based scheme is an increasing challenging task. The present project aims to develop an automatic statistical inference approach based on Hilbert space embeddings and kernel methods, taking into account both the relevance of data in the non-parametric density estimation and the matching between parameters and simulations spaces used in ABC techniques. In particular, the central aim is to develop a strategy that favors the flexibility and accuracy for both supervised and unsupervised inference scenarios, looking for an automatic scheme that encodes relevant structures in the data and allows to tuning of the parameters used in ABC automatically.
A Streamlined Method for Determination of Total and Individual Glucosinolates in Rapeseed Using Spectrophotometry and High Performance Liquid Chromatography

A streamlined method for determination of total and individual glucosinolates in rapeseeds using spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography was developed in this study. The rapeseeds were extracted using 70% methanol solution and purified by a strong anion exchange column. The sample solution was divided into two aliquots. One part was hydrolyzed to determine the total glucosinolates content by evaluating the loss of chromogenic ferricyanide at 420 nm. The quantitative analytical method of total glucosinolates was fully validated with respect to the linearity (r2 >0.995), sensitivity, precision, accuracy (the recovery between 91.7-108%), and robustness (the relative standard deviation ˂ 5.23%). The other part was enzymatic hydrolyzed by sulfatase, with optimized reaction time of one hour to establish the desulfoglucosinolate profiles by high performance liquid chromatography. The concentrations of the individual glucosinolates were calculated based on the total glucosinolate value and their response factors. The developed method was successfully applied to determine the content of individual glucosinolates in rapeseeds without an internal standard. The newly established method is simple, fast and reliable on the quantitation of glucosinolates in rapeseeds.

4 Farm succession is a relevant issue, as it is relat ed to rural and youth migration, sustainability 5 and the ageing of the agricultural sector. Understa nding the factors behind the willingness of 6 potential successors to take over the family busine s is crucial for farm continuity. We 7 examine the factors affecting children’s likelihood f carrying on the family business in a 8 sample of 216 potential heirs of Italian horticultu ral farms. Using local labour market 9 conditions (income gap and employment rate) and sur rounding context variables (population 10 density), we plug the farm labour migration/occupat ional choice theory into farm succession 11 analysis. This approach allows us to treat child su ccession as the opposite of the choice to 12 migrate out of the farm sector. While farm labour m igration theory predicts linear negative 13 effects of labour market/contextual variables on fa rm transfer, we find that the income gap, 14 employment rates and population density exert both negative and positive effects on child 15 succession, according to their intensity. The pro-s uccession effects we find suggest that, 16 despite potential threats, the proximity to wealthy areas may represent an opportunity for farm 17 continuity and thriving. We also examine explicitly he effect of child characteristics (gender 18 and birth order), finding that male and first-born potential successors are more likely to take 19 over the family farm, in accordance with results fr om previous firm succession studies. This 20 finding suggests a persistence of traditional norma tive beliefs in the agricultural sector. 21
Exploring Runtime Reconfigurability of P4 Data Plane

The current trend of network programmability stimulates the endeavor to program the data plane with domain specific languages such as P4. In face of constant changes in user demands and traffic fluctuations, the programmability, if revealed within a short time frame, can lead to runtime recon-figurations and potentially herald network adaptations. Such ability of runtime reconfiguration should be explored and evaluated to fully leverage the capability of programmable networks. In this work, we present two approaches to assist P4’s data plane runtime reconfiguration. We also design a management entity to facilitate the coordination of reconfiguration and the necessary state synchronization. Evaluation results show the migration of a stateful firewall between two forwarding nodes at runtime without an interruption of network operation.
Sma ll Battery-Free Wireless Sensor Networks for Structural Health Monitoring

1 Battery-free wireless sensors developed at the University of Maine under a cooperative agreement with NASA enable a myriad of structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. Embedding these sensors in structures without the need for changing batteries, their rugged design to withstand harsh environments, and coded communication with multiple access features makes this new technology a desirable candidate for a variety of aerospace and civil infrastructure monitoring applications. This paper presents sensor characteristics, communication schemes, and multi tier networking strategies developed to deliver a reliable wireless sensor system for SHM. A large scale inflatable lunar habitat structure built by NASA and instrumented by UMaine is used as test-bed for technology demonstration. Various aspects of this system have been studied and results are published in conferences and journals as presented in the references section. These aspects are summarized in this paper and include: distributed sensing and coding, throughput optimization, channel estimation error analysis, signal detection in presence of interference, two-tiered networking, turbo coding and decoding in distributed sensor networks, cooperative relaying methods, and impact localization. Testing the developed battery free sensors in lab environment with multi-path and interference effects resulted in 16 ft operation range with under 20 mW power. This range can be even extended further if a second tier with battery-operated sensors is added to the network. Noting that several passive sensors and only a few active sensors is required to build this multi-tier architecture, the cost savings in power combined with coding gain is significant compared to conventional sensor networks.
ALASKA MEETING ON FUNDAMENTAL OPTICAL PROCESSES IN SEMICONDUCTORS Conference Chairs

For times shorter than the phonon [1,2] or plasmon period [3,4] (50-100 ferntoseconds in the model semiconductor GaAs) these excitations look almost static and carrier scattering becomes quite unusual. Corresponding results out of this regime of quantum kinetics are briefly summarized. For yet shorter times, i.e. times shorter than the period of light (or, to be precise, the band gap period, 2.9 femtoseconds in GaAs) [5,6] we can observe new nonlinear optical phenomena such as carrier-wave Rabi flopping and the breakdown of the area-theorem. This carrier-wave regime becomes accessible by using both, extremely short (less than 5 femtoseconds) and extremely intense (Rabi periods less than 3 femtoseonds) optical pulses. Corresponding unpublished experimental [7] and theoretical results are presented. This might open the door to studies on electron dynamics on a timeseale of just one or two femtoseconds. [1] L.

Breast Stromal Periductal Sarcoma : A Case Report

DOI: 10.21276/sjpm.2018. 3.10. 9 Abstract: Periductal stromal sarcoma is a rare lesion. It was considered to be a variant of phyllode tumor whereas they are morphologically different. Our patient was a 39 years old, with no previous history, who presented a nodular formation at the level of the inferior-internal quadrant of the right breast operated in 2015 with the realization of a nodule excision. The histological examination carried out was in favor of the diagnosis of a periductal stromal sarcoma with tumoral surgical excision limits. 2 years later, she presented a recurrence at the level of the tumor scar. A bilateral digital mammography was performed which showed an appearance in favor of a tumor recurrence of 63 mm of major axis at the level of the inferior-internal quadrant of the right breast. She was given a biopsy excision communicated to our structure. The diagnosis of the recurrence of a periuctal stromal sarcoma has been retained. The number of studies available on periductal stromal sarcoma (SPP/PSS) is currently limited and a therapeutic strategy for the PSS has not yet been determined. The histological diagnosis of PSS is based on the criteria established by the AFIP, and surgery with significant margins is the cornerstone of treatment.
Analysis of a new fl avodiiron core structural arrangement in Flv 1-Δ FlR protein from Synechocystis sp . PCC 6803

Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) play key roles in biological response mechanisms against oxygen and/or nitric oxide; in particular they are present in oxygenic phototrophs (including cyanobacteria and gymnosperms). Two conserved domains define the core of this family of proteins: a N-terminal metallo-β-lactamase-like domain followed by a C-terminal flavodoxin-like one, containing the catalytic diiron centre and a FMN cofactor, respectively. Members of the FDP family may present extra modules in the C-terminus, and were classified into several classes according to their distribution and composition. The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 contains four Class C FDPs (Flv1-4) that include at the C-terminus an additional NAD(P)H:flavin oxidoreductase (FlR) domain. Two of them (Flv3 and Flv4) have the canonical diiron ligands (Class C, Type 1), while the other two (Flv1 and Flv2) present different residues in that region (Class C, Type 2). Most phototrophs, either Bacterial or Eukaryal, contain at least two FDP genes, each encoding for one of those two types. Crystals of the Flv1 two core domains (Flv1-ΔFlR), without the C-terminal NAD(P)H:flavin oxidoreductase extension, were obtained and the structure was determined. Its pseudo diiron site contains non-canonical basic and neutral residues, and showed anion moieties, instead. The presented structure revealed for the first time the structure of the two-domain core of a

Behavioral Models in Tort Law_10

In this paper, we illustrate how different behavioral problems can be incorporated into the standard economic model of tort law. Through this exercise, we develop a modeling language that can be utilized by law and economic scholars when considering the effect of behavioral biases and cognitive imperfections in tort law. We use these models in conjunction with the standard taxonomy of psychological biases, to show the effect of different biases on the behavior of tort agents. The models we present are applicable to a wide range of tort problems, and have the potential for application to a broader range of legal problems. JEL Codes: K13, K43, D03, D81

COMPARISON OF MUSCULAR ACTIVITY AND GROUND REACTION FORCE BETWEEN LAND – BASED AND AQUATIC JUMPING TRAINING

The benefits of jump-specific plyometric exercises have been studied in athletes and non athletes. Some authors have described the use of aquatic jumping training to obtain the same results, although this training generates a different stimulus. The aim of this study was to analyze the ground reaction force and the muscular activity of the muscles: rectus femoris, biceps femoris, and gastrocnemius during landing on two different ground conditions, land or swimming pool, after jumping from a height of 0.73 m. Nine Physical Education students took part in this study and performed 3 jumps for each condition, landing in the force platform. The data were obtained using a force platform and an electromyography of 8 channels (EMG System of Brazil). The analyzed variables were iEMG for each muscle and the peak force during contact with the force platform. To compare the differences between the trials it was used the statistics t test for dependent samples with significance level of 0.05. The results showed no significant differences in muscle activity for all the muscles, but a significant difference in peak force for the two conditions. Both findings seem to support the studies that propose the use of aquatic jumping training.
Hard Clam Hatchery and Nursery Production

Hard clams of the genus Mercenaria are found from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico and have been introduced to other areas of the United States, notably the coasts of California and Washington. They also have been introduced to Puerto Rico and Great Britain. There are two species, Mercenaria mercenaria and M. campechiensis. M. mercenaria is distributed primarily in the more northerly latitudes, while M. campechiensis is the more southerly species. Both species are found on the west coast of Florida and in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, and some hybridization between the two may occur. A subspecies, M. c. texana, is found in the western Gulf of Mexico. This fact sheet refers specifically to M. mercenaria because it is the major cultured species, although some of the generalizations may apply to all hard clams.
Comparison of in vitro Antibacterial Effects of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius and OcimumgratissimumHydromethanolic Leaf Extracts

The study provided evidence for the ethno-medicinal claims of Chaya and scent leaves. The in vitro antibacterial effect ofCnidoscolusaconitifolius(Chaya) and Ocimumgratissimum (Scent) hydromethanolic leaf extracts were determined and compared. They were tested against pure cultures of clinical isolates of Escherichia coli, Klebsiellaoxytoca,Shigellaflexneri, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcusaureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilisandVibrocholerausing agar well diffusion method.Methanol (80%) was used for theSoxhlet extraction of the active constituents of the plants. The susceptibility patterns of the test isolates to the hydromethanolic extracts of Cnidoscolusaconitifolius and Ocimumgratissimum leaves were determined at concentrations of 0.25g/10ml, 0.5g/10mland 1g/10ml. The results showed that the antibacterial activities of the extracts were concentration dependent and vary with each isolate. The zones of inhibition of the extracts were compared with a standard antibiotic (Chloramphenicol). It was observed that the total percentage bacterial inhibitionof Cnidoscolusaconitifoliuscompared with Chloramphenicol was higher (67.39%) than that ofOcimumgratissimum (45.61%). This affirmed the traditionaluse of both leaves for prophylaxis or treatment of infectious diseases. The work suggested further identification and isolation of the bioactive antibacterial compounds fornewer drug development.
Scalable and Efficient Statistical Inference with Estimating Functions in the MapReduce Paradigm for Big Data

The theory of statistical inference along with the strategy of divide-and-conquer for large- scale data analysis has recently attracted considerable interest due to great popularity of the MapReduce programming paradigm in the Apache Hadoop software framework. The central analytic task in the development of statistical inference in the MapReduce paradigm pertains to the method of combining results yielded from separately mapped data batches. One seminal solution based on the confidence distribution has recently been established in the setting of maximum likelihood estimation in the literature. This paper concerns a more general inferential methodology based on estimating functions, termed as the Rao-type confidence distribution, of which the maximum likelihood is a special case. This generalization provides a unified framework of statistical inference that allows regression analyses of massive data sets of important types in a parallel and scalable fashion via a distributed file system, including longitudinal data analysis, survival data analysis, and quantile regression, which cannot be handled using the maximum likelihood method. This paper investigates four important properties of the proposed method: computational scalability, statistical optimality, methodological generality, and operational robustness. In particular, the proposed method is shown to be closely connected to Hansen's generalized method of moments (GMM) and Crowder's optimality. An interesting theoretical finding is that the asymptotic efficiency of the proposed Rao-type confidence distribution estimator is always greater or equal to the estimator obtained by processing the full data once. All these properties of the proposed method are illustrated via numerical examples in both simulation studies and real-world data analyses.
