Effect of 10 Minutes of Prewarming and Prewarmed Intravenous Fluid Administration on the Core Temperature of Patients Undergoing Transurethral Surgery under General Anesthesia

Background: Patients undergoing transurethral urologic procedures using bladder irrigation are at increased risk of perioperative hypothermia. Thirty minutes of prewarming prevents perioperative hypothermia. However, its routine application is impractical. We evaluated the effect of 10 minutes of prewarming combined with the intraoperative administration of warmed intravenous fluid on patients' core temperature. Methods: Fifty patients undergoing transurethral bladder or prostate resection under general anesthesia were included in this study and were randomly allocated to either the control group or the prewarming group. Patients in the prewarming group were warmed for 10 minutes before anesthesia induction with a forced-air warming device and received warmed intravenous fluid during operations. The patients in control group did not receive preoperative forced-air warming and were administered room-temperature fluid. Participants' core body temperature was measured on arrival at the preoperative holding area (T0), on entering the operating room, immediately after anesthesia induction, and in 10-minute intervals from then on until the end of the operation (Tend), on entering PACU, and in 10-minute intervals during the postanesthesia care unit stay. The groups' incidence of intraoperative hypothermia, change in core temperature (T0 - Tend), and postoperative thermal comfort were compared. Results: The incidence of hypothermia was 64% and 29% in the control group and prewarming group, respectively (P = 0.015). Change in core temperature was 0.93 ± 0.3 °C and 0.55 ± 0.4 °C in the control group and prewarming group, respectively (P = 0.0001). Thermal comfort was better in the prewarming group (P = 0.004). Conclusions: Ten minutes of prewarming combined with warmed intravenous fluid significantly decreased the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia and resulted in better thermal comfort in patients undergoing transurethral urologic surgery under general anesthesia.

Surface Fault Ruptures Associated with the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake

Distinctive ruptures of the surface faulting which generated the destructive 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake (Ms=7.2) appeared along the Nojima fault, an active fault on the northwestern coast of Awaji island, Japan. The surface fault ruptures in Awaji island extend southwestward continuously for about 9km from Easki near the epicenter to Toshima in Hokudan town, and caused prominent right-latearl off-sets of 1.9m at maximum on roads, paddy dikes with vertical displacement of 1.2m at maximum, while no large surface faulting has been reported in Kobe where major damage and casualties have appeared.Most of the surface ruptures follow along the pre-existing active fault traces of the Nojima fault. The ruptures are generally arranged in left-stepping echelon, and local extensional and compressional jog forms such as trenches, mole tracks, buldges are sometimes related to changes in fault strikes.The earthquake fault seems to have propagated bilaterally northeastward and southwestward from the hypocenter in the Straits of Akashi near the major jog of the earthquake fault system. The source process of the earthquake deduced from the slip distribution along the earthquake fault in Awaji island well explains near-field P-waveforms of broad-band seismometers for early part in about 4 seconds. The later part of much larger amplitude should attribute to the northeast fault ruptures toward Kobe.
Research and Implementation of 3D Object Detection Based on Autonomous Driving Scenarios

Perception function, as an important part of autonomous driving, ensures the safety and intelligence of driving. We collect the surrounding environment of driving through hardware sensors, providing a basis for subsequent decision-making of autonomous driving. In recent years, deep learning has made breakthrough progress in object detection. Based on this, this paper uses lidar point cloud data, combined with deep learning theory and method, to carry out three-dimensional target detection tasks around lidar point cloud data, and carries out theoretical analysis, method verification, and result analysis. A 3D object detection method based on LiDAR point cloud data is proposed. The backbone network of the network model corresponding to the method is VoxelNet’s backbone network. After outputting the feature matrix, sparse point clouds are supplemented with point clouds, and then the feature matrix is decoded to generate candidate boxes. The model used in this paper on the KITTI data set can effectively solve the problem of 3D target detection in the process of autonomous driving and has good performance.
Characterizing and Modeling Transformation-Induced Plasticity in 13Cr-4Ni Welds upon Cooling

Dilatometric experiments were conducted with the main purpose of measuring the transformation-induced coefficients of 13% chromium and 4% nickel, which are martensitic stainless steel base and filler materials used for hydraulic turbine manufacturing. To this end, a set of experiments was conducted in a quenching dilatometer equipped with loading capabilities. The measurement system was further improved by means of modified pushrods to allow for the use of specimens with geometries that are compliant with tensile test standards. This improvement allowed for the measurement of the materials’ phases and respective yield strengths. The dataset was further used to determine the relationship between the applied external stress and the martensitic start temperature (Ms) upon cooling. The TRIP coefficient’s K values for both the S41500 steel and E410NiMo filler material were measured at 8.12×10−5 and 7.11×10−5, respectively. Additionally, the solid phase transformation model parameters for both the austenitic and martensitic transformation of the filler material were measured. These parameters were then used to model austenitic-phase-transformation kinetics and martensite transformation, including transformation-induced plasticity effects. Good agreement was achieved between the calculation and the experiments.
Suspending ekphrasis: Christopher Marlowe’s ‘Brazen World’ in Part 2 of Tamburlaine the Great and its influence

Abstract I argue that Part 2 of Christopher Marlowe’s Tamburlaine the Great (1587; published 1590) upends the narrative operations of ekphrasis at work in Part 1 to expose Sir Philip Sidney’s ‘brazen world’ progressively. I track Part 2’s descent into this world through rhetorical insufficiencies that generate flawed ekphrases, which lack the requisite enargeia (vivid description) to be seen in the mind’s eye. Particular attention is paid to Zenocrate’s death scene as well as Tamburlaine’s preservation of her body in a gold-lined coffin. I argue that the coffin is a symbol of Tamburlaine’s rhetorical inadequacy and an aesthetic time capsule in which Marlowe suspends ekphrasis. This suspension complicates the ways in which audiences ‘see’, and is the site of a contest between ‘poetic’ (ekphrastic) and ‘dramatic’ (spectacular) ways of seeing. Through the ekphrastic interaction between the Tamburlaine plays, Marlowe challenges dramatists to revive the operations of ekphrasis in new ways. I examine William Shakespeare’s response to this challenge in The Winter’s Tale (1611; published 1623), arguing that he reconciles the poetic and dramatic ways of seeing to create a stage-picture of the revival of ekphrasis in the coming to life of Hermione’s statue.
Operational Prognostic Model Evaluation

Prognostic analytic models have become a viable way to reduce operational interruptions when sufficient timely data is available. This work describes a set of evaluation metrics which can characterize model performance as a degradation estimate and as a decision enabler. The model accuracy over time is assessed against a correlation with the remaining useful life. This yields both a prediction accuracy and confidence interval. The decision can be based on the level of confidence around the prediction, which is based on both how far into the future the event is predicted and how well the current health and its deterioration is estimated. With an effective means of evaluating prognostic models, better benchmarks can be established to communicate model effectiveness and appropriately schedule routine service.
VARIABILIDAD DE LA TEMPERATURA SUPERFICIAL DEL MAR EN BAHÍA MAGDALENA, B.C.S.

Sea surface temperature was recorded at various stations at Magdalena Bay by the CICIMAR- I.P.N. from 1981 through 1998; individual determinations are shown together with some previously reported data obtained during similar studies from 1973-74 and one single value from 1913. Monthly averages were obtained for each sampling point. Annual cycles inside the Bay are compared to that of the 114°W-112°W and 24°N-26°N quadrant from the COADS database. Anomalies were estimated as departures from the mean cycle for the series and compared. The inside bay area is consistently warmer than the open ocean (0.89°C in the average). Seris are further calibrated to estimate variation along the Century; most CICIMAR sampling was done during ENSO events, except during 1988-89. Principal component analysis shows four main modes of variation, the three most important ones related to offshore influence, while the least important seems to reflect the system's own variation.
Frequency Distribution of Fasciolosis in Small Ruminants Population at District Sargodha

2 Abstract: The present investigation described some epidemiological aspects of fasciolosis in small ruminant population of district Sargodha, Punjab, Pakistan. Coprological examination of randomly selected sheep (n=2172) and goats (n=2268) was performed in six tehsils of district Sargodha during October, 2011 to September, 2012. The prevalence of disease was significantly higher in female and younger goats as compared to male and adult sheep, respectively. Significant impact of season on the occurrence of disease was noted, being highest during November and lowest in April in sheep while, it was highest in July and lowest in January in goats. The magnitude of disease was significantly higher in grazers followed in order by ground and trough feeders. Prevalence of disease was higher in population provided with river water followed by pond water and tap water. This study will be helpful for the control of disease in small ruminant population of study area.
Impact of Germline Depletion of Bonus on Chromatin State in Drosophila Ovaries

Gene expression is controlled via complex regulatory mechanisms involving transcription factors, chromatin modifications, and chromatin regulatory factors. Histone modifications, such as H3K27me3, H3K9ac, and H3K27ac, play an important role in controlling chromatin accessibility and transcriptional output. In vertebrates, the Transcriptional Intermediary Factor 1 (TIF1) family of proteins play essential roles in transcription, cell differentiation, DNA repair, and mitosis. Our study focused on Bonus, the sole member of the TIF1 family in Drosophila, to investigate its role in organizing epigenetic modifications. Our findings demonstrated that depleting Bonus in ovaries leads to a mild reduction in the H3K27me3 level over transposon regions and alters the distribution of active H3K9ac marks on specific protein-coding genes. Additionally, through mass spectrometry analysis, we identified novel interacting partners of Bonus in ovaries, such as PolQ, providing a comprehensive understanding of the associated molecular pathways. Furthermore, our research revealed Bonus’s interactions with the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 and its co-purification with select histone acetyltransferases, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms behind these changes in chromatin modifications.
Efectos de la regulación bursátil sobre la eficiencia de los mercados de valores. Comparación entre España y Reino Unido

RESUMEN Este trabajo presenta el primer estudio comparado sobre la rentabilidad obtenida por los directivos en sus operaciones con acciones propias en dos mercados de valores caracterizados por marcos legales diferentes: España y Reino Unido. Analiza si las diferencias en el grado de regulación y coerción del «abuso de mercado» producen diferencias en el grado de eficiencia del mercado. Esto permitirá expresarnos sobre el grado de efectividad de los denominados close periods o periodos de censura implantados en Reino Unido o sobre el mayor rigor en el cumplimiento de los plazos fijados por ley para el anuncio pùblico de las operaciones de directivos. Los resultados evidencian que las mayores restricciones establecidas en el Reino Unido no impiden que los directivos obtengan rentabilidades anormales, detectadas por igual en ambos países, pero sí contribuyen positivamente sobre la transparencia del mercado y la correcta formación de precios al favorecer la forma semi-fuerte de eficiencia.
A Novel Cyber Resilience Method for Frequency Control in Power Systems Considering Nonlinearities and Practical Challenges

Contemporary power systems are threatened by cyberattacks as a result of their interactions with information and communication technologies (ICT). Load frequency control (LFC) system is a fundamental power system application whose role is to maintain the power balance of the grid by sensing frequency deviations and properly regulating the output of the generators. Due to its dependence on ICT, the LFC is directly exposed to digital threats. This article introduces a novel method for the estimation and mitigation of False Data Injection Attacks (FDIAs) to address cyber threats against LFC. The proposed method utilizes an innovative sliding mode technique to approximate the launched FDIAs against the LFC. Then, the estimated attack vector is added to the control loop to eliminate the cyberattack impact on LFC, forming an attack-resilient control strategy. This approach is robust against external system disturbances as it is designed to be completely decoupled from them. For experimental validation, several real-world power system features are implemented, including nonlinearities, network delays, diverse types of tie-lines and multiple topologies, and a Hardware-in-the-Loop testbed is developed for real-time testing. The results confirm the effectiveness, the feasibility, and the scalability of the proposed defense method along with its superiority compared to other similar techniques.
P and S velocity structure of the upper mantle beneath the Transantarctic Mountains, East Antarctic craton, and Ross Sea from travel time tomography

P and S wave travel times from teleseismic earthquakes recorded by the Transantarctic Mountains Seismic Experiment (TAMSEIS) have been used to tomographically image upper mantle structure beneath portions of the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM), the East Antarctic (EA) craton, and the West Antarctic rift system (WARS) in the vicinity of Ross Island, Antarctica. The TAM form a major tectonic boundary that divides the stable EA craton and the tectonically active WARS. Relative arrival times were determined using a multichannel cross‐correlation technique on teleseismic P and S phases from earthquakes with mb ≥ 5.5. 3934 P waves were used from 322 events, and 2244 S waves were used from 168 events. Relative travel time residuals were inverted for upper mantle structure using VanDecar's method. The P wave tomography model reveals a low‐velocity anomaly in the upper mantle of approximately δVp = −1 to −1.5% in the vicinity of Ross Island extending laterally 50 to 100 km beneath the TAM from the coast, placing the contact between regions of fast and slow velocities well inland from the coast beneath the TAM. The magnitude of the low‐velocity anomaly in the P wave model appears to diminish beneath the TAM to the north and south of Ross Island. The depth extent of the low‐velocity anomaly is not well constrained, but it probably is confined to depths above ∼200 km. The S wave model, within resolution limits, is consistent with the P wave model. The low‐velocity anomaly within the upper mantle can be attributed to a 200–300 K thermal anomaly, consistent with estimates obtained from seismic attenuation measurements. The presence of a thermal anomaly of this magnitude supports models invoking a thermal buoyancy contribution to flexurally driven TAM uplift, at least in the Ross Island region of the TAM. Because the magnitude of the anomaly to the north and south of Ross Island may diminish, the thermal contribution to the uplift of the TAM could be variable along strike, with the largest contribution in the Ross Island region. The tomography results reveal faster than average velocities beneath East Antarctica, as expected for cratonic upper mantle.
The Oases in the Desert: Mobility and Settlement in the Middle Paleolithic Record of Jordan

The Levantine Paleolithic record is central to understanding human migrations out of Africa and the relationship between Neanderthals and Anatomically Modern Homo sapiens. Lithic remains are the most plentiful source of information on these ancient peoples, and understanding how they can be used to infer cognitive abilities, mobility patterns and settlement strategies is essential to Paleolithic studies. A review of published Middle Paleolithic sites in Jordan demonstrates that currently accepted theories on Levantine Middle Paleolithic archaeology can be used as a framework only. Sites must be understood according to their specific contexts, and local Jordanian environments depend as much on tectonics and base water levels as they do on generalized climatic records. Lithic assemblages show that organizational flexibility was a key component to human adaptations and modern behavior is already present in Jordan early in the Middle Pleistocene. Les donnees du Levant paleolithique sont indispensables pour l'etude des migrations humaines hors de l'Afrique et pour celle des relations entre les Neanderthaliens et Homo sapiens sapiens. Les vestiges lithiques representent la source de renseignements la plus importante au sujet de ces populations anciennes. Il est essentiel pour l'etude du Paleolithique de comprendre comment l'on peut utiliser ces renseignements afin d'en deduire les capacites cognitives, les trajectoires de mobilite et les strategies d'etablissement de ces hommes. Une revision des publications au sujet des sites du Paleolithique moyen en Jordanie demontre que les theories archeologiques courantes s'y rapportant ne peuvent constituer qu'un cadre. En effet, les sites doivent etre etudies selon le contexte particulier de chacun. Ainsi, la tectonique et le niveau de la nappe phreatique produisent des environnements locaux en Jordanie qui different des donnees climatiques generalisees. En outre, l'on peut demontrer a l'aide d'assemblages lithiques que la souplesse organisationnelle representait un element cle de l'adaptation humaine. Le comportement moderne est deja present en Jordanie au debut du Pleistocene moyen.

Reactivation of telomerase reverse transcriptase expression in cancer: the role of TERT promoter mutations

Telomerase activity and telomere elongation are essential conditions for the unlimited proliferation of neoplastic cells. Point mutations in the core promoter region of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene have been found to occur at high frequencies in several tumour types and considered a primary cause of telomerase reactivation in cancer cells. These mutations promote TERT gene expression by multiple mechanisms, including the generation of novel binding sites for nuclear transcription factors, displacement of negative regulators from DNA G-quadruplexes, recruitment of epigenetic activators and disruption of long-range interactions between TERT locus and telomeres. Furthermore, TERT promoter mutations cooperate with TPP1 promoter nucleotide changes to lengthen telomeres and with mutated BRAF and FGFR3 oncoproteins to enhance oncogenic signalling in cancer cells. TERT promoter mutations have been recognized as an early marker of tumour development or a major indicator of poor outcome and reduced patients survival in several cancer types. In this review, we summarize recent findings on the role of TERT promoter mutations, telomerase expression and telomeres elongation in cancer development, their clinical significance and therapeutic opportunities.
