Evaluación del transporte apical producido por cinco sistemas de instrumentación en raíces mesiales de molares inferiores

L'objectiu mes important del tractament de conductes es reduir al minim el nombre de microorganismes i residus patologics a l'interior del sistemes de conductes per prevenir o tractar la periodontitis apical. La instrumentacio completa de la regio apical s'ha considerat durant molt temps com un component essencial en el proces de neteja i conformacio. Durant molts anys s'ha descrit la zona apical com la zona mes critica de la fase d'instrumentacio. El transport apical implica una deformacio iatrogenica de l'anatomia originaria del conducte, aixo produeix una preparacio dificil de segellar correctament predisposant a una major filtracio que pot comprometre el correcte segellat apical. Per a la realitzacio d'aquest treball s'han fet servir cinc sistemes d'instruments rotatoris, per avaluar el transport produit en arrels mesials de molars mandibulars, mitjancant la tecnica de superposicio radiografica. S'han triat aquests cinc sistemes per les seves caracteristiques de disseny i fabricacio. La tecnica de superposicio radiografica es una tecnica que ens proporciona la deformacio apical dels conductes en dues dimensions d'una forma eficac i amb un baix cost. La hipotesi que es planteja en aquest estudi es que no hi haura diferencies estadisticament significatives en comparar el transport apical produit per cinc sistemes rotatoris de niquel titani en arrels mesials de primers molars mandibulars instrumentats fins a un calibre apical de 40.04. L'objectiu principal d'aquest estudi es comparar el transport apical produit pels diferent sistemes. Al seu torn de forma especifica s'ha avaluat el transport apical produit per cada un dels sistemes d'instruments rotatoris de niquel titani. Els resultats obtinguts conclouen que no hi ha diferencies estadisticament significatives en el transport apical produit pels diferents sistemes, encara que aquests tenen diferencies de disseny i fabricacio. Aquests resultats determinen que els cinc sistemes son segurs valids per al seu us, ja que tots produeixen una preparacio centrada en el conducte amb una minima deformacio del terc apical del conducte. En conclusio, la instrumentacio de la regio apical es un repte per al professional, ja que es la zona del conducte on hi ha un major nombre d'irregularitats i on es mes dificil aconseguir una correcta neteja i conformacio. Coneixer i usar els instruments de forma adequada es indispensable per no produir deformacions en el terc apical que ens puguin fer fracassar el tractament per un segellat inadequat.
Drainage water storage for improved resiliency and environmental performance of agricultural landscapes

Abstract. Drained lands, which include some of the most productive lands in the world, can experience both water excess and water deficit within a year. Storing drained water within the landscape could increase the sustainability of water for agriculture, particularly as intense rainfall and prolonged summer drought continue to increase under future climate change. A team of researchers and extension specialists from nine states are currently working towards a vision of transforming the process of designing and implementing agricultural drainage to include storage through the use of controlled drainage, saturated buffers, and drainage water recycling (i.e. capture, storage, and reuse). Field research data from experimental drainage sites from across the U.S. Corn Belt have been brought together in a database to support synthesis and modeling to determine economic and environmental impacts of drainage water storage. Results from this effort will extend the strategies and tools to agricultural producers, the drainage industry, watershed managers, agencies, and policy makers, and educate the next generation of engineers and scientists to design drainage systems that include water storage in the landscape.
Plant elicitor peptide induces endocytosis of plasma membrane proteins in Arabidopsis

In plants, the regulation of plasma membrane (PM) dynamics through endocytosis plays a crucial role in responding to external environmental cues and defending against pathogens. The Arabidopsis plant elicitor peptides (Peps), originating from precursor proteins called PROPEPs, have been implicated in various aspects of plant immunity. This study delves into the signaling pathway of Peps, particularly Pep1, and its effect on PM protein internalization. Using PIN2 and BRI1 as PM markers, we demonstrated that Pep1 stimulates the endocytosis of these PM-localized proteins through clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). CLC2 and CLC3, two light chains of clathrin, are vital for Pep1-induced PIN2-GFP and BRI1-GFP internalization.The internalized PIN2 and BRI1 are subsequently transported to the vacuole via the trans-Golgi network/early endosome (TGN/EE) and prevacuolar compartment (PVC) pathways. Intriguingly, salicylic acid (SA) negatively regulates the effect of Pep1 on PM endocytosis. This study sheds light on a previously unknown signaling pathway by which danger peptides like Pep1 influence PM dynamics, contributing to a deeper understanding of the function of plant elicitor peptide.
Significance of Electrocardiographic QTc Interval on Assessment of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Hypertensive Patient: A Simple Screening Tool

Background: Diastolic dysfunction as part of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has gain interests, due to the increasing prevalence rate and poor prognosis. Besides the mechanism is not fully understood, there are some difficulties in detecting the presence of diastolic dysfunction. Previous studies have shown correlation between some electrocardiographic parameters and diastolic function. Furthermore, the aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of the QTc interval in detecting left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on patients with clinical suspicion of heart failure. Electrocardiographic examination was performed to obtain QTc interval (msec) using the Bazett formula. Left ventricular diastolic function was assessed using Tissue Doppler Imaging by echocardiography. Using correlation test and ROC method, the relationships between QTc interval and LV diastolic function were investigated.Results: Of 82 patients analyzed, there were 62 patients (75.9%) known to have diastolic dysfunction. The QTc interval was found to be longer in the group with diastolic dysfunction compared to the normal group (442.9±27 vs. 402.1±18.2, p <0.001). There was a strong negative correlation between the QTc interval and diastolic function (r = -0.619; p <0.001). Using ROC analysis, the cut off point for QTc interval was 410 ms with 91% sensitivity, 70% specificity, and 90% positive predictive value.Conclusion: The QTc interval is an accurate, simple and highly feasible electrocardiographic parameter as a screening tool to determine the presence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
In silico comparative transcriptome analysis of Papaver somniferum cultivars

Papaver somniferum is a medicinal plant of the Papaveraceae family that has traditionally been used for diet or its therapeutic value for thousands of years. Mainly, morphine and noscapine alkaloids exhibit anti-analgesic and anti-cancer effects. However, gene expression patterns and regulatory elements, such as transcription factors between different tissues, still need to be detected. In this study, comparative in silico transcriptome analyses were conducted to examine the tissue-specificity of the benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) biosynthetic genes and transcription factors (TFs) between morphine and noscapine cultivars. Analysis showed that BIA biosynthetic genes are expressed in a different pattern between two varieties. Results showed that some members of plant-specific secondary metabolites related to TF families, such as MYB, MADS-box, bHLH, NAC, and WRKY, are differentially expressed between tissues and varieties.
Investigation of the effect of free fatty acids on cell growth and Cytokine secretion

Interactions between immune and inflammatory cells are mediated primarily through the interaction of proteins, termed interleukins (IL) that are able to promote cell growth, differentiation as well as functional activation. TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 are the most important cytokines produced by monocytes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DAH), on immune cell proliferation along with cytokine production. This was tested using the THP-1 monocytic cell line, which in turn allowed observing how surface protein cytokine expression was affected by docosahexaenoic acid treatment and whether the effect of incubation would reduce the stimulus-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The experimental method employed Linked Immunosorbent Assays, while both Cell Titer 96® AQueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay and Titer 96 AQueous One Solution were used to determine cell proliferation. THP-1 cells induce growth-promoting activity and, the concentration of DHA toxic effect began at around 100 µM and reached maximum toxicity at around 200 µM. The results demonstrate that DHA inhibited endogenous IL-8 release when compared to a control group where the inhibition was maintained for 3 days. The study revealed the effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on immune cell proliferation and cytokine production.
System and method for managing casino chip using rfid

PURPOSE: A casino chip management system using RFID and a method thereof recognize the location of each chip on the table where a game is ongoing on a real time basis, thereby checking the number and location of chips which each user possesses, the total number of chips in each batting zone, and the number and location of chips which a dealer possesses. CONSTITUTION: An RFID tag is mounted on a casino chip (100). A plurality reader antenna (200) is mounted on a casino table (500) and at least one among the reader antennas receives an RF signal from the RFID tag. Each arrival angle estimator corresponds to each reader antenna and estimates the arrival angle of the RF signals. Using the estimated arrival angle and received RF signals, an RFID reader (300) checks the location of each chip. A location display unit (400) displays the location of each chip.
Paradoxes and Challenges Facing the Person Centered Approach

As we approach the 21st Century, major challenges await the Person-Centered (PC) approach if it is to continue in the pioneering spirit of Carl Rogers and remain true to being process oriented. One challenge relates to the resolution of the internal contradictions within the approach. Another relates to the ethnocentrism of the approach. Both challenges center on the concept of the self that underlies the PC approach. In terms of recent work in mainstream psychology and several other disciplines on the concept of the self, different models of the self seem to be entertained in PC therapy for the client and the therapist. The concept appropriate for optimal functioning of the client can be described as high on agency and independence (the separate self) and that for the therapist as high on agency and relatedness (the autonomous-relational self). Resolution of this discrepancy can not only resolve the internal contradictions within the approach, but allign the purpose of PC therapy with recent models of the concept of the self underlying mental health, as well as facilitate the approach to transcend its individuocentric cultural boundarie.
Adaptation of a Commercial Qualitative BAX® Real-Time PCR Assay to Quantify Campylobacter spp. in Whole Bird Carcass Rinses

Poultry is the primary reservoir of Campylobacter, a leading cause of gastroenteritis in the United States. Currently, the selective plating methodology using selective agars, Campy Cefex and Modified Charcoal Cefoperazone Deoxycholate agar, is preferentially used for the quantification of Campylobacter spp. among poultry products. Due to the specific nature of Campylobacter, this methodology is not sensitive, which can lead to skewed detection and quantification results. Therefore, Campylobacter detection and quantification methods are urgently needed. The objective was to develop a shortened enrichment-based quantification method for Campylobacter (CampyQuant™) in post-chill poultry rinsates using the BAX® System Real-Time PCR assay for Campylobacter. The specificity and sensitivity for the detection of C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. lari in pure culture were determined. The BAX® System Real-Time PCR assay consistently detected and identified each species 100% of the time with an enumeration range of 4.00 to 9.00 Log10 CFU/mL. Enrichment time parameters for low-level concentrations (0.00, 1.00, and 2.00 Log10 CFU/mL) of Campylobacter using the BAX® System Real-Time PCR assay were elucidated. It was determined that an enrichment time of 20 h was needed to detect at least 1.00 Log10 CFU/mL of Campylobacter spp. Using the BAX® System Real-Time PCR assay for Campylobacter. As a result, time of detection, detection limits, and enrichment parameters were used to develop the CampyQuant™ linear standard curve using the detected samples from the BAX® System Real-Time PCR assay to quantify the levels in post-chill poultry rinsates. A linear fit equation was generated for each Campylobacter species using the cycle threshold from the BAX® System Real-Time PCR assay to estimate a pre-enrichment of 1.00 to 4.00 Log10 CFU/mL of rinsates detected. The statistical analyses of each equation yielded an R2 of 0.93, 0.76, and 0.94 with a Log10 RMSE of 0.64, 1.09, and 0.81 from C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. lari, respectively. The study suggests that the BAX® System Real-Time PCR assay for Campylobacter is a more rapid, accurate, and efficient alternative method for Campylobacter enumeration.

Photovoltaic Conversion: Outlook at the Crossroads Between Technological Challenges and Eco-Strategic Issues

Photovoltaic (PV) conversion or the production of electricity directly through the use of solar energy (Fig. 1) is undoubtedly a promising source of renewable energy despite the negligible position it still holds in the global energy landscape, namely barely 0.2% of the global electricity produced in 2010 (European Photovoltaic Industry Association [EPIA], 2011a; British petroleum Global [BPG], 2011). In fact, it is difficult not to take its breathtaking growth into consideration since the production of PV electricity increased from 1 TWh in 1999 to 50 TWh (40 GW) in 2010, for an annual increase of 36% with a spectacular leap of 50% between 2009 and 2010 (Observ’ER, 2010; EPIA, 2011; BPG, 2011). Various hypotheses predict a global capacity between 131 GW and 196 GW in 2015 (EPIA, 2011). In comparison, from 1999 to 2009, wind energy increased 29% whereas fossil energy only grew 3.7% (Observ’ER, 2010). Therefore, it is not surprising that the term “solar revolution” was already in use in the field of renewable energy as of 2006 (Bradford, 2006). However, although PV conversion is a credible and preferred candidate as a safe source of energy in the highly probable context of mixed energy and sustainable development, it remains marginal and there are legitimate questions concerning its development, which is still in the very early stages, particularly with respect to performance, production costs and competitiveness. It should be noted that fossil energies still satisfy 80% of the global demand for electricity (Observ’ER, 2010). The purpose of this chapter is to assess both the performance of PV conversion, in economic and energetic terms, in a favourable global market and the intense research into the use of innovative technologies to improve performance. These assessments require an excursion into the life cycle of PV systems from the synthesis of semi-conductors to the use of the electricity generated, the storage of the energy and finally on to the dismantling and recycling of facilities. The development of PV systems, from the design to the end of their life, is accompanied by environmental, health and safety concerns related to the expansive use of potentially toxic

Furthermore, compound 16 showed cytotoxicity toward three human cancer cell lines, including SK-LU-1, MCF7, HepG2, with IC50 values in the range of 6.5-8.0 μM.
Hyperspectral Real-Time Local Anomaly Detection Based on Finite Markov via Line-by-Line Processing

Real-time anomaly detection technique can efficiently and effectively leverage available data and operates in tandem with data collection, avoiding dependence on unacquired spectral data. Nonetheless, there are no restrictions or discussions regarding the scope of utilization for existing data. Overloading the analysis with excessive information, particularly encompassing dynamically changing background scenes, can introduce interference, undermining the statistical characteristics of the data and hampering anomaly detection. Studies indicate that local anomaly detection can enhance detection performance. Consequently, determining the optimal scope of the row space within the context of real-time line-by-line processing by integrating local processing and real-time technology stands pivotal in enhancing efficacy. In order to realize real-time hyperspectral local anomaly detection, based on the most widely used push-broom hyperspectral imaging sensor, this article proposes a finite Markov local real-time correlation matrix $R$ anomaly detection (FMLRT-RAD) by studying the similarity of spectra in adjacent regions of the same substance and the independence of spectra in different regions in hyperspectral images. FMLRT-RAD can adaptively determine the size of the local background region, and solve the challenging task of selecting a suitable data range for local background suppression when an imaging sensor obtains a large amount of data. In addition, based on sample correlation matrix $R$ anomaly detection, two different correlation matrix representations are designed for dynamically updating finite local samples. Woodbury matrix identity is used to update background suppression, and corresponding update equations with causal recursion characteristics are derived to achieve local real-time anomaly detection to further reduce time consumption and improve detection capability. The experimental results of several real-world hyperspectral image datasets show that the detector has superior detection performance compared with other advanced detectors.
Analysis of Direct Torque Control with pace Vector Modulation for Synchronous Reluctance Motor Motion Control Applications and a Comparison with Other Torque-Control Algorithms

Abstract Motion control is facing an increasing popularity in the present research activities. Owing to the expected wide spreading of motion control applications, it can be predicted that the advancements in the field of electric motor drives will have a high level of influence on the new results in the field of motion control. The synchronous reluctance motor drives mean an excellent and yet cost-effective solution for actuators in motion control applications. In this article, the direct torque control with space vector modulation is analysed as a possible candidate for synchronous reluctance motor motion control applications. Its torque-control performance is investigated as a function of torque-control sample time, and a comparison of the torque ripples is made with other torque-control algorithms by an FFT analysis.
