Finding innovations to Accelerate Implementation of electric Regional aviation

The main goal of the project is to develop a methodology for an early and efficient commercialization of electric regional flights in the Botnia Atlantica region. The methodology for commercialization of electric aircraft that is developed within the project will give the region the key to realizing the potential that exists in the technology at an early stage. New efficient and sustainable communication solutions provide the opportunity to bridge distances (especially in the east-west direction), which provides a basis for increased collaboration between public and private actors in the region and creates a greater basis for both commercial and public services. Examples include ambulance flights, medical trips and taxi flights that can reach new geographical areas in a cost-effective way. Through the active role of public actors in the project, the public sector's ability to demand and develop innovative measures that reinforce the societal benefits created by technological development increases.The project result means new opportunities to create added value for the region's assets and develop concrete solutions to the region's challenges.
Current smoking and low HRQoL as strong predictive factors for acute care among elderly asthma patients

Objective : To examine risk factors for emergency visits among elderly asthma patients in a well-organized asthma care setting. Methods : The study population was a random sample of 344 patients visiting the Pulmonary Clinic of Helsinki University Hospitals (HUCH) with a diagnosis of asthma (J45-J46) during the years 1995-2006. 117 asthma patients had had at least one emergency visit and formed the active group. 227 patients without emergency visits formed the control group. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the significance of several demographic and clinical variables for the need of emergency treatment. Results : The study population was on average 56 (SD 13) years old and 72 % of the patients were women. Follow-up among cases covered 799 patient years and on average 0.4 emergency visits per patient year was identified. Asthma, lower and upper respiratory infections were described as the discharge diagnosis in 45%, 17% and 6% of the visits, respectively. The cases were older, had suffered longer from asthma, had lower lung functions, and were more often ex- or current smokers. In the multivariate analysis current smoking and poor HRQoL (health related quality of life) remained independent risk factors for emergency room care (OR 3.9, CI 1.7-8.8 and OR 1.9, CI 1.2-3.0, respectively). Conclusions : Current smoking is a risk factor for the need of emergency care. Also those with self-estimated poor HRQoL are in a risk for emergency treatment. In this study population, enrolled in the special care setting, the promotion of smoking cessation might play an important role in prevention of acute hospital care among elderly asthma patients.

A multidimensional analysis of the relations of basic and applied psychology

In an essay addressing the nature of the emergent field of applied cognitive science, Hoffman and Deffenbacher [Hoffman, R.R. and Deffenbacher, K.A., 1993. An analysis of the relations of basic and applied science. Ecological Psychology, 5, 315–352] argued that available distinctions between basic and applied science were inadequate for capturing the pertinent comparisons. Their multidimensional scheme extended Brunswik's [Brunswik, E., 1956. Perception and the representative design of psychological experiments. Berkeley: University of California Press] notions of ecological validity and representativeness. It included ‘outward-looking’ dimensions according to which one can judge methods and settings in terms of their relevance to human experience, several ‘inward-looking’ dimensions referring to judgements of the relevance of research designs and hypotheses to theoretical matters and several ‘effectivity’ dimensions to describe research results in terms of ecological and epistemological utility. In this ...
Antibiotic use for treating dental infections in children

The authors conducted a study to examine the antibiotic prescribing practices of general and pediatric dentists in the management of odontogenic infections in children.The authors relied on a cross-sectional study design to assess the antibiotic prescribing practices of general and pediatric dentists in North Carolina. The survey instrument consisted of five clinical case scenarios that included antibiotic-prescribing decisions in a self-administered questionnaire format. The participants were volunteers attending one of four continuing education courses. The authors invited all pediatric dentists in private practice to participate in the study, as well as general practitioners who treated children in general practice. The authors compared the practitioners' responses for each clinical case scenario with the prescribing guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association.A total of 154 surveys were completed and returned (55 percent response rate). The mean age of respondents was 47 years, and the mean number of years in practice was 19. Of the 154 overall, 106 (69 percent) were general practitioners and 48 (31 percent) were pediatric dentists. Across the three in-office clinical case scenarios, adherence to professional prescribing guidelines ranged from 10 to 42 percent. For the two weekend scenarios, overall adherence to the professional prescribing guidelines dropped to 14 and 17 percent. Dentists who had completed postgraduate education (n = 73 [51 percent]) were more likely (P < .05) to have adhered to published guidelines in prescribing antibiotics.The results of this survey show that dentists' adherence to professional guidelines for prescribing antibiotics for odontogenic infections in children was low. There appears to be a lack of concordance between recommended professional guidelines and the antibiotic prescribing practices of dentists. Clearer, more specific guidelines may lead to improved adherence among dentists.
Global distribution of instantaneous daytime radiative effects of high thin clouds observed by the cloud profiling radar

The instantaneous daytime geographical distribution and radiative effects of high thin clouds (optical thickness < 5) are investigated on the basis of the CloudSat Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) radiative flux and cloud classification products. The regional features of the fraction and radiative effects of high thin clouds are associated with ITCZ, SPCZ and mid-latitude storm track regions. High thin clouds have positive net cloud-induced radiative effect (CRE) at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and negative net CRE at the bottom of the atmosphere (BOA). The magnitudes of TOA and BOA CREs depend on cloud optical thickness, cloud fraction and geographical location. The magnitude of the net CRE of high thin clouds increases at both TOA and BOA as cloud optical thickness increases. Net CRE at both TOA and BOA contributes to a positive net CRE in-atmosphere and warms the atmosphere regardless of cloud fraction. The global annual mean of the net CRE multiplied by cloud fraction is 0.49 W/m2 at TOA, -0.54 W/m2 at BOA and 1.03 W/m2 in-atmosphere. The most radiatively effective cloud optical thickness of a high thin cloud is between 1-2 for the TOA and in-atmosphere CREs or 3-4 for the BOA CRE.

CONFIGURABLE PLIABLE AIR DUCTS

In some example pliable air duct systems, inflatable ducts of various diameters and lengths are created by selectively assembling pre-existing stock pieces in different combinations. In some examples, the stock pieces include disconnectable longitudinal joints and disconnectable circumferential joints, wherein the longitudinal joints enable interconnecting multiple stock pieces to achieve a desired tube diameter, and the circumferential joints allow connecting multiple tube segments end-to-end to produce an air duct assembly of a desired length. To control the volume and/or the direction of air discharged from the duct, the duct assembly, in some examples, includes an adjustable register comprising a movable pliable sheet that overlies a discharge opening in a pliable sidewall of the duct. In some examples, the inflatable duct includes one or more cutout patterns on the duct's sidewall to provide guidance in creating a sidewall discharge opening of a proper size and location.
The influence of natural and human factors in the shrinking of the Ebinur Lake, Xinjiang, China, during the 1972–2013 period

The Ebinur Lake is a closed inland lake located within the arid region of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region in the northwestern part of China, near the Kazakhstan border. The shrinkage of the lake area is believed to be caused by ecological environmental deterioration and has become an important restraining factor for the social development of the local population. Of all the lakes in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, the Ebinur Lake is the most severely impacted water body. The lake has undergone change in size naturally for over thousands of years due to natural causes. However, the authors observed the dramatic changes in the freshwater resources of this region from the aerial images from 1972 to 2013. Thus, this paper traces and analyzes the change in the Ebinur Lake surface area in the past 41 years. A set of six satellite images acquired between 1972 and 2013 was employed to map the change in the surface area of the Ebinur Lake using the water index approach. The authors applied the traditional normalized difference water index (NDWI) and the modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI) to quantify the change in the water body area of the Ebinur Lake during the study period. The results indicate that the lake area has experienced a dramatic decrease of 31.4% from 1972 to 2013. The paper also examines the natural processes and human activities that may have contributed to the decrease in the lake area. The results show that the decrease in total lake area appears to coincide with periods of rapid land reclamation in the study area. Moreover, the uncontrolled land reclamation activities, such as irrigation, can increase the sedimentation in the Ebinur Lake thereby reducing the lake size. Reduction of the lake area has a negative ecological impact on the environment and on human life and property. The lake area is the most important factor to ensure the environment of the watershed and the key index to measure the environment balance.

Serum lipid profile in alcoholic cirrhosis: A study in a teaching hospital of north-eastern India

Background: Alcoholic cirrhosis is often associated with impaired lipid metabolism. However, there are only a few studies regarding lipid profile in alcoholic cirrhosis that have been undertaken in India. The aim of the study is to assess the degree of alteration of serum lipid profile in alcoholic cirrhotic patients and also to detect its relationship with the age of the patients and the alcohol consumption pattern. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a teaching hospital of north-eastern India for 1 year with 100 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis (cases) and 50 healthy individuals (controls) without history of alcohol consumption. A questionnaire of personal characteristics including history of alcoholism was completed for each patient. Serum lipid profile (total, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglyceride) was recorded for each case and control. t test of significance was applied for statistical analysis. Results: Majority of the cases were in the 41-50 years age group. There was no relationship of cirrhosis with the type of alcoholic beverage, but a definite relationship was observed with the quantity and the duration of alcohol consumption. In patients with cirrhosis, the total serum cholesterol level was decreased. There was a significant decrease in serum HDL and LDL cholesterol compared with the control group ( P < 0.001). However, the serum triglyceride levels were significantly increased in alcoholic cirrhotic patients compared with the control group ( P < 0.001). Conclusion: In this study, we found that there was marked alteration of serum lipid profile values in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis compared with normal, non-cirrhotic individuals. Therefore, a search for lipid profile abnormality should be performed in every cirrhotic patient.
Impact of a Workshop About Aging on the Empathy Scores of Pharmacy and Medical Students

To measure changes in pharmacy and medical students' empathy scores after a 40-minute workshop during which students observed and discussed a theatrical performance about the challenges of aging.First-year pharmacy and medical students (n = 187 and n = 183, respectively) participating in the workshop observed and discussed a 10-minute performance in which students enacted problems and concerns faced by elderly patients. The Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE) was administered just prior to the workshop (pretest), immediately afterward (posttest 1), and 7 or 26 days afterward (posttest 2).Empathy increased significantly from pretest to posttest 1 for students of each profession (p <0.01). Improvement in empathy scores declined by the time the JSE was readministered to pharmacy students 7 days later and to medical students 26 days later (posttest 2). Similar patterns of improved and declining empathy were found when the data were analyzed by gender and medical student specialty interest (ie, primary vs non-primary care specialties).Empathy scores increased but were not sustained for both pharmacy and medical students after a brief workshop on aging that required limited personnel resources.
Impact of inorganic, organic and bio-fertilizers on growth and yield of guava (Psidium guajava L.)

Guava is an important fruit crop with regards to its nutritional and commercial value. Production and productivity are the prime concern of the researchers and farmers throughout the world. Looking to the cumulative toxic effects of inorganic fertilizers and chemicals used in maximizing the production and productivity, Integrated Nutrient Management is an effective measure. Keeping these facts in view, an experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of KVK Majhgawan, distt. Satna, MP. with an objective of studying the effect of inorganic, organic and bio-fertilizers on growthand yield of guava, to find out the best treatment combination of inorganic, organic and bio-fertilizers for increasing the growth and yield of guava. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 13 treatments replicated thrice. It was concluded from the experiment that treatment T5 (100% recommended dose of NPK + 50kg FYM + 150g Azotobacter + 100g PSB) gave the best results as far as growth, flowering, fruiting, yield and Quality.

Pollution from the electric power sector in Japan and efficient pollution reduction

Abstract Under the scheme of the Kyoto Protocol, there are plans for the efficient reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. In the electric power sector, nuclear power generation, which emits no carbon dioxide in the process of generating electricity, has come under scrutiny. However, this energy produces a new environmental issue: the disposal of radioactive waste. First, we derive shadow prices of carbon dioxide and low-level waste as marginal abatement costs in the case of the electric power sector in Japan, employing a directional output distance function. It is found that the shadow prices are US$39 per tonne for carbon dioxide and US$1531 per liter for low-level waste. Secondly, we calculate the indirect Morishima elasticity between carbon dioxide and low-level waste in order to identify their substitutability, and it is found that the substitution of low-level waste for carbon dioxide is easier than the reverse. This result suggests that, with the amount of generated electricity fixed, carbon dioxide can be substituted more easily by low-level waste when the relative price of carbon dioxide increases, for example, as a result of implementation of a carbon dioxide tax or an emissions trading system.
Systematic procedure and framework for synthesis and evaluation of bioethanol production processes from lignocellulosic biomass

Abstract Bioethanol from lignocellulosic feedstock rises as a promising alternative to replace liquid fossil fuels in the energy market for the next years. However, the variety of available biomass combined with the necessity of possible pretreatments and their particular features make it difficult to clearly identify the favorable process routes. In this study a systematic approach consisting of seven steps was proposed to obtain possible and feasible alternatives for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into bioethanol. The method was exemplified with the aid of a general case study, from the biomass selection to possible by-products generation. The case study resulted in a corn stover based process to produce bioethanol through ammonia fiber explosion pretreatment. Following the systematic approach different alternatives were proposed to finally obtain the optimal flowsheet with a minimum ethanol selling price of 0.43$/kg of ethanol, 35.4% lower than the initial process.
