In Vivo Confocal Microscopy: A Promising Diagnostic Method for Cutaneous Oncology

Confocal microscopy enables the acquisition of non-invasive microscopic images with real-time visualization of nuclear and cellular morphologies in vivo, which is analogous to histological imaging at high magnification. Thus, this tool has become useful in the diagnosis of melanoma and non-melanoma cutaneous tumors. The resulting images are oriented parallel to the surface of the skin (transverse sections), which is the major difference compared to conventional histology. The fact that confocal microscopy images the tissue in the horizontal plane, similar to dermoscopy, and provides high magnification with a cellular resolution that is similar to that of histopathology, makes this technique an important area of clinical research in evaluating skin cancer. The objective of the article is to describe this technique and its primary diagnostic findings for different types of skin cancer.
Mitigating potential and antioxidant properties of aqueous seed extract of Leea guineensis against dichlorovos-induced toxicity in Wistar rats

This work was carried out to access the mitigating potential of Leea guineensis aqueous seed extract against dichlorovos (DDVP)-induced toxicity in Wistar rats for ten days. Twenty Wistar albino rats (weighing 90 to 106 g) were divided into four groups (Normal, DDVP-induced untreated, DDVP-induced treated with 200 mg/kg of L. guineensis seed and DDVP-induced treated with 400 mg/kg L. guineensis seed by oral gavage). DDVP was induced in the rats as a source of the main drinking water (5% v/v). The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total protein, albumin, bilirubin and the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined. The results revealed that exposure of rats to the pesticide water (DDVP) resulted in significant increase (p<0.05) in the levels of MDA and bilirubin with significant decrease (p<0.05) in the levels of total protein, albumin and the activities of GPx, CAT, SOD, ALT and AST, while administration with L. guineensis seed showed ameliorative effects in all biochemical parameters evaluated. This showed that treatment with aqueous seed extract of L. guineensis (200 and 400 mg/kg), most especially 400 mg/kg could ameliorate the biochemical indices related to liver toxicity in the animals. Key words: Leea guineensis, dichlorovos, pesticide, antioxidant enzymes, oxidative stress.
Arthroscopic Surgery and Radiosynovectomy to the Hip Joint with Diffuse Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis

A 32-year-old female patient admitted with right hip pain that was diagnosed of diffuse PVNS in right hip joint with magnetic resonance imaging. She went arthoscopic synovectomy for this lesion. Six weeks after the surgery, RS was applied. Before RS three phase bone scintigraphy was taken and minimal increased perfusion, minimal hyperemias were detected in right hip joint. On the late phase images relatively increased activity accumulation in right hip joint was seen. 3 mCi (111 MBq) yttrium-90 colloid was administered to the hip joint under fluoroscopy guidance. The Bremsstrahlung imaging was performed using a gamma camera equiped four hours after RS. In the six and nine months control after RS patient did not have any complaints. In nine months control, MRI and three phase bone scintigraphy were taken and no pathologic radioactivity accumulation on bone scan, any residual lesion or recurrence on MRI was present. To our best knowledge, this is the first case with arthroscopic surgery and adjuvant RS with Y-90 colloid which rarely applied in routine practice for treatment of diffuse PVNS of the hip.
nfluence of photo-selective netting on fruit quality parameters and ioactive compounds in selected tomato cultivars eter

Tomato fruit quality for fresh consumption is determined by size, colour, firmness, flavour, aroma and nutritional properties. Choice of tomato cultivar is important in terms of fruit quality and bioactive compounds. The aim of this study is to verify the influence of photo-selective nettings on fruit quality and nutritional properties of tomato cultivars. Three types of photo-selective nets (red, yellow and pearl with 40% shading) were compared with commercial black net (25% shading) for fruit quality parameters [firmness, soluble solids concentration, titratable acidity, fruit mass, CIE-Lab colour parameters (L*, a*, b*] bioactive compounds (ascorbic acid, lycopene, -carotene, total phenols) and total antioxidant activity in three tomato cultivars (AlfaV, Irit and SCX 248) at harvest. Principle component analysis illustrated cv. AlfaV fruits under black nets were lower in mass, less firm, higher in bioactive compounds and soluble soild concentration (SSC) but lower in titratable acidity (TA) and intense in red colour. However, under pearl nets cv. AlfaV showed higher fruit mass, firmness and moderately higher bioactive compounds. Cultivar SCX 248 fruits under red nets were moderate in size, firmness, and bioactive compounds in comparison to the other nets. Cv. Irit fruit under all net types were small, less firm, low SSC, higher in TA while the black nets increased their bioactive compounds. Significant correlations were observed between bioactive compounds and the air temperature and photosynthetic active radiation. Cultivar AlfaV grown under the red net showed higher number of odour active aroma compounds in fruit while yellow nets significantly affected the synthesis of odour active aroma compounds. Pearl and red photoselective nets improved the overall fruit quality; fruit mass, fruit firmness and bioactive components in cv. AlfaV and cv. SCX 248 respectively and can be further implemented within protected cultivation practices.

Fluvial flux of nitrogen from Great Britain 1974–2005 in the context of the terrestrial nitrogen budget of Great Britain

Long‐term records of the concentration of nitrogen species from British rivers were compiled in order to assess temporal change in the total fluvial nitrogen flux compared to the other inputs to, and outputs from, the UK terrestrial biosphere. The following nitrogen species are considered: ammoniacal N, nitrate, nitrite, dissolved organic nitrogen, and particulate organic nitrogen. Concentration and flow records were reconstructed from 1974 to 2005 for ammoniacal N, nitrate, nitrate, and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and from 1992 for particulate organic nitrogen (PON). The reconstructed fluvial nitrogen time series was compared to records for inorganic fertilizer, atmospheric emissions, industrial and sewage effluent, and imports. The results show that (1) the total dissolved nitrogen flux over the study period, after flow correction, varied from 470 to 980 kt N a−1, which, on average, comprised 69% nitrate N; 26% dissolved organic N; 4% ammoniacal N; and 1% nitrite N; (2) the total nitrogen flux including PON varied from 504 to 1004 kt N a−1; (3) the flux of ammoniacal N shows a significant decline over the study period, but significant increases in both nitrate N and dissolved organic N mean that the total dissolved nitrogen flux still shows a significant increase at a rate of 6.3 kt N a−1; and (4) the dissolved nitrogen flux record shows both a steady increase over the period 1974 to 2005 and sharp discrete rises in response to severe droughts. Flux increases (up to 69% increase compared to the 4 years prior to the drought) in response to severe droughts are not consistent with a storage effect caused by reduced flows but, instead, appear to represent enhanced production in the year of the drought. The long‐term rise of fluvial nitrogen flux from British rivers is in contrast to declines in inputs and other N outputs.
The turbulent life of dust grains in the supernova-driven, multiphase interstellar medium

Dust grains are an important component of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies. We present the first direct measurement of the residence times of interstellar dust in the different ISM phases, and of the transition rates between these phases, in realistic hydrodynamical simulations of the multiphase ISM. Our simulations include a time-dependent chemical network that follows the abundances of H+, H, H2, C+ and CO and take into account self-shielding by gas and dust using a tree-based radiation transfer method. Supernova explosions are injected either at random locations, at density peaks, or as a mixture of the two. For each simulation, we investigate how matter circulates between the ISM phases and find more sizeable transitions than considered in simple mass exchange schemes in the literature. The derived residence times in the ISM phases are characterized by broad distributions, in particular for the molecular, warm and hot medium. The most realistic simulations with random and mixed driving have median residence times in the molecular, cold, warm and hot phase around 17, 7, 44 and 1 Myr, respectively. The transition rates measured in the random driving run are in good agreement with observations of Ti gas-phase depletion in the warm and cold phases in a simple depletion model. ISM phase definitions based on chemical abundance rather than temperature cuts are physically more meaningful, but lead to significantly different transition rates and residence times because there is no direct correspondence between the two definitions.
Infant Attractiveness Predicts Maternal Behaviors and Attitudes

The relations between infant attractiveness and maternal behavior were examined by observing mothers feeding and playing with their firstborn infants while they were still in the hospital after giving birth (N = 144) and again when the infants were 3 months of age (N= 115). The attitudes of the mothers toward their infants were also assessed. Mothers of more attractive infants were more affectionate and playful compared with mothers of less attractive infants. In contrast, the mothers of less attractive infants were more likely to be attentive to other people rather than to their infant and to engage in routine caregiving rather than affectionate behavior. The attitudes of the mothers of less attractive infants were also more negative than those of mothers of more attractive infants, but the number of differences in attitudes was not as great as the behavioral differences. Queen Victoria, who bore nine children, once said that "an ugly baby is a very nasty object" (Fulford, 1964, p. 191). If current conventional wisdom is true, most modern-day mothers are either not as forthright as the Queen or they have considerably more positive attitudes about unattractive infants. It is commonly assumed that the attractiveness of an infant is neither evaluated nor important to parents; all offspring supposedly seem beautiful to doting new parents. The purpose of the study we report here is to examine the validity of this widely held belief by assessing the attitudes and behaviors of mothers toward their firstborn infants as a function of infant attractiveness. There is a literature suggesting that mothers may not be as sanguine about infant appearance as conventional wisdom would have us believe. Rather, mothers may treat their infants differently on the basis of the infant's attractiveness. Experimental laboratory studies have shown that attractive compared
Paper on Wireless Power Transmission for Energy Harvesting System

According to current stage every human being wireless system as we know there is lots of systems are there which are use for wireless communication like GSM, WiFi, BLE, Bluetooth etc. Now if we are talking about wireless power transmission so this is still a current research area for all researchers. Right now we are using wire system for power transmission but everyone demand wireless system. Right now there is lots of commercial and non commercial sector where everyone need wireless power transmission system, those sector like WSN networking, Remote Location based industries etc. These applications are currently using battery system or direct wired system now if we are talking about WSN network system so those system are require less power and working on battery but lifetime of battery is limited so that’s why there is need of wireless power system. In this paper basically we did comparative study about the previous existing wireless power transmission system and find out some research issue which can be treating like a future research objective for this area.
A wireless implantable multichannel digital neural recording system for a micromachined sieve electrode

This paper reports the development of an implantable, fully integrated, multichannel peripheral neural recording system, which is powered and controlled using an RF telemetry link. The system allows recording of /spl plusmn/500 /spl mu/V neural signals from axons regenerated through a micromachined silicon sieve electrode. These signals are amplified using on-chip 100 Hz to 3.1 kHz bandlimited amplifiers, multiplexed, and digitized with a low-power (<2 mW), moderate speed (8 /spl mu/s/b) current-mode 8-b analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The digitized signal is transmitted to the outside world using a passive RF telemetry link. The circuit is implemented using a bipolar CMOS process. The signal processing CMOS circuitry dissipates only 10 mW of power from a 5-V supply while operating at 2 MHz and consumes 4/spl times/4 mm/sup 2/ of area. The overall circuit including the RF interface circuitry contains over 5000 transistors, dissipates 90 mW of power, and consumes 4/spl times/6 mm/sup 2/ of area.
Robust target tracking using adaptive color feature and likelihood fusion

Designing a robust and accurate object tracker is important in many computer vision applications. The problem becomes more complicated when additional factors like changing appearance, illumination, and scale are introduced in the sequence. Recently, trackers that are based on the correlation filter method like Sum of Template and Pixel-wise Learners (STAPLE)1 have shown state-of-the-art short-term tracking performance. STAPLE consists two major modules: learning correlation filter on HOG features and representing color information using RGB histogram. In this paper, we propose an improved STAPLE (iSTAPLE) tracker by adding the Color Names (CN)2 to the correlation part of the tracker. CN complements HOG feature because using only HOG can lead to tracking failures in some cases where occlusion or deformation is present. As the color information could be a confusing factor and unreliable in tracking due to the rapid illumination changes, Bhattacharyya distance is used to measure the color similarity between the target and surrounding area to decide whether the color information is helpful. Since we use multiple feature cues to improve tracking performance, a robust approach to fuse multiple features is required. To fully utilize all features and optimize the tracking result, numerous weight combinations assigned to each feature are tested. We show through comprehensive experiments on the VOT Challenge 2016 dataset3 that iSTAPLE obtains a gain of 25% in tracking robustness.
A Review on Modeling, Synthesis, and Properties of Graphene

Every few years, a new material with unique properties emerges and fascinates the scien‐ tific community, typical recent examples being high-temperature superconductors and carbon nanotubes. Graphene is the latest sensation with unusual properties, such as halfinteger quantum Hall effect and ballistic electron transport. In this work, we introduce graphene and its property such as mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Further‐ more, we briefly mention some of processes that are used for production of graphene. We will continue our discussion to review the approaches that have arose to analyze gra‐ phene and other nanoplates.
Evaluation of soil fertility and fertilisation practices for irrigated maize (Zea mays L.) under Mediterranean conditions in Central Chile

The main aim of this study was to carry out an evaluation of soil fertility and fertilisation practices for irrigated maize (Zea mays L.) under Mediterranean conditions in central Chile. Soil samples were collected from 31 maize fields for macro- and micronutrient analysis; additionally a crop management survey was carried out in each field. These data were used to identify the range of critical soil-test concentrations of nutrients and the relationships among these soil fertility parameters; to assess the relationship between maize yields and nutrient status of soils; to evaluate the current fertiliser practices of farmers comparing them with nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertiliser model calculations; and to analyse whether The results showed that there was a dominance of neutral-alkaline soils with low organic matter and N levels, and high P, cations and micronutrient levels. Regression analysis explained at least 59% of the variation in maize yields, when soil pH and available zinc (Zn) content were identified as the most important variables controlling maize yield. Results suggest that in neutral-alkaline soils cultivated with maize and high inputs of N-P-K, there may be a maize yield response to Zn applications. It was found that most farmers over-fertilised with N (from 60 to 360 kg N ha-1) and P (from10 to 120 kg P2O5 ha-1), converting maize fields in an important non-point source of pollution of water bodies in Central Chile.
EVIDENCE FOR WIDESPREAD ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS-DRIVEN OUTFLOWS IN THE MOST MASSIVE z ∼ 1 – 2 STAR-FORMING GALAXIES ∗

In this paper, we follow up on our previous detection of nuclear ionized outflows in the most massive (log(M∗/M ) 10.9) z ∼ 1–3 star-forming galaxies by increasing the sample size by a factor of six (to 44 galaxies above log(M∗/M ) 10.9) from a combination of the SINS/zC-SINF, LUCI, GNIRS, and KMOS3Dspectroscopic surveys. We find a fairly sharp onset of the incidence of broad nuclear emission (FWHM in the Hα, [N ii], and [S ii] lines ∼450–5300 km s−1), with large [N ii]/Hα ratios, above log(M∗/M ) ∼ 10.9, with about two-thirds of the galaxies in this mass range exhibiting this component. Broad nuclear components near and above the Schechter mass are similarly prevalent above and below the main sequence of star-forming galaxies, and at z ∼ 1 and ∼2. The line ratios of the nuclear component are fit by excitation from active galactic nuclei (AGNs), or by a combination of shocks and photoionization. The incidence of the most massive galaxies with broad nuclear components is at least as large as that of AGNs identified by X-ray, optical, infrared, or radio indicators. The mass loading of the nuclear outflows is near unity. Our findings provide compelling evidence for powerful, high-duty cycle, AGN-driven outflows near the Schechter mass, and acting across the peak of cosmic galaxy formation.
Sex Hormones and Multiple Sclerosis

Experimental and clinical data about the influence of sex hormones on the course of multiple sclerosis (MS) grow rapidly during the past two decades. Estrogens, proges‐ terone, and androgens have been shown to ameliorate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in animals, and pregnancy in women is associated with a dramatic reduction in disease activity. Immunomodulatory and neuroprotective properties of sex hormones are the most probable underlying mechanisms, creating a background for testing similar hormonal treatments in humans. Several pilot studies in this field present promising results, but larger trials are necessary to identify the adverse events and to estimate precisely the place of sex steroids in multiple sclerosis thera‐ peutic strategies. The objective of this chapter is to summarize the recent advances in the research about the effects of sex steroids in EAE and MS and to create a ground for the development of more powerful treatments in the future.
Automated Design of Paper Workbooks , for Electronic Learning Environments

The paper and the electronic worlds provide complementary affordances and we envision a framework where there is continuous transfer of knowledge between the two environments. This paper shall discuss the automatic generation of a paper workbook using principles of graphic design, a consequence of electronic world interactions. Our approach incorporates user context models as well a graphic design principles. User interaction in the electronic world affects the user context, thus critically determining media to be selected for paper. The paper workbook creation is then informed by design principles involving layout consistency, concept dominance, contrast and proximity. The media selection and the paper layout are both fully automated. Our preliminary experimental results indicate that the paper designs are well liked and deemed relevant to prior electronic interaction.
Global patterns of mainland and insular pollination networks

Aim Interaction networks are being increasingly used to evaluate macroecological patterns. We explored a global dataset to identify differences in the structure of pollination networks from islands (of oceanic and continental origin) and mainlands. For oceanic islands, we further evaluated the effects of key island traits on network structural parameters. Location Fifty-two quantitative plant–pollinator networks from continental islands (n = 23), oceanic islands (n = 18) and mainlands (n = 11) located world-wide. Methods The effect of geographical origin upon network structure was explored by means of generalized mixed models, accounting for biogeographical region, sampling intensity, latitude and network size. For oceanic island networks, the influence of area, age, elevation and isolation was also evaluated. Results The structure of pollination networks was fairly consistent between mainland and continental islands and only a few differences were noted. Oceanic island networks, however, were smaller and topologically simplified, showing a lower interaction diversity, and higher plant niche overlap than mainland and continental island networks. Isolation and elevational range of oceanic islands influenced the total number of species and interactions. Networks from higher-elevation oceanic islands were less nested and those located towards the equator exhibited higher interaction richness. Island area showed no significant effect on any of the network metrics studied here. Main conclusions Pollination networks appear structurally similar regardless of their geographical origin. However, networks from continental islands are more similar to their mainland counterparts than to those from oceanic islands, probably due to the geological nature of continental islands, which are fragments of the mainland to which they were once connected. Oceanic island networks are the least species- and link-rich, and exhibit the lowest interaction diversity and the highest plant niche overlap, possibly due to lower pollinator richness. The most isolated and low-elevation islands show the simplest networks, and are thus probably the most vulnerable to pollination disruptions.
