LOW VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR AN ELECTRIC BLANKET OR THE LIKE

A power supply system for outputting low voltage electrical power from a high voltage power source includes an isolation-type power conversion device, such as a transformer having a primary high voltage side and an isolated secondary low voltage side. The low voltage side is interconnected with a power output arrangement, which is adapted to supply low voltage power to a load, which may be in the form of an electric blanket or the like. A switching arrangement is interconnected with the high voltage primary side of the power conversion device, for providing intermittent operation of the power conversion device. The period of intermittent operation of the power conversion device is controlled via a control arrangement, to vary the power output from the low voltage secondary side of the transformer and thereby to the electrical load. The control arrangement is preferably in the form of a pulse width modulation (PWM) control, which receives inputs from a controller that is powered from the isolated secondary low power output of the power conversion device via isolated primary and secondary circuits, to vary the duty cycle of the switching power conversion device. The power supply includes a burst logic circuit that provides high frequency intermittent operation of the power conversion device through the switching arrangement when the controller is off, to supply low voltage power to the controller which enables initial operation of the controller and thereby operation of the power conversion device. The low voltage output is interconnected with a load detection arrangement which disables the controller in the event the load is disconnected from the low voltage output. An over-voltage switch is also interconnected with the low voltage output, to shutdown the power supply in the event the voltage of power supplied to the low voltage output exceeds a predetermined low voltage threshold.

Early and long-term results of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting in elderly patients.

Background: Standard (conventional) coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is an invasive procedure which requires full
median sternotomy and is performed with extracorporeal circulation (ECC), which can lead to serious complications. Aim: To analyse the results of minimally invasive CABG (MIDCAB) in elderly patients.
 Methods: Between 1999 and 2007, a total of 698 MIDCAB procedures were performed at our institution. We present the
data on 235 elderly (≥ 70 years) patients (160 males, mean age 74.5 ± 3.2 years, range: 70-83 years) who were consecutively
operated on in this period. Early mortality, post-operative complications, long-term survival, impact of multivessel disease
(MVD) and hybrid coronary artery revascularisation on total mortality were analysed. Logistic EuroSCORE was 8.7%. The
survival of 235 elderly patients was compared to the survival of the remaining 463 MIDCAB patients aged Results: The 30-day mortality was 2.5% (six patients). During follow-up, two patients underwent coronary reoperation and
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed in 16 patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a 1.5-year survival of
89.8% (95% CI 85.9-93.7%) and five-year survival of 79.7% (95% CI 74.3-85%). Compared to single vessel disease (SVD)
patients, the MVD patients had significantly higher total mortality (p = 0.0038). Our study revealed MVD (p = 0.0016) and
male sex (p = 0.0091) as important independent factors of total mortality in this group of elderly patients. The difference in
total mortality between non-hybrid vs hybrid MIDCABs was not significant (p = 0.63). The younger MIDCAB patients ( Conclusions: The MIDCAB is a reasonable option for elderly patients with SVD, and in selected patients with MVD. The
decision to perform MIDCAB rather than PCI in these high risk patients should always be very carefully considered in conjunction
with the interventional cardiologist.

Polysaccharide-Based membrane for sublingual vaccination

Vaccination has been acknowledged as one of the most effective methods against life-threatening diseases. Vaccines administered by the mucosal route (oral, vaginal…) present the advantage to be needle-free and reduce the risk of pathogen transmission. Among the existing mucosal vaccines, the sublingual ones are an interesting way of immunization since the sublingual mucosa is particularly thin and would allow easy penetration of antigens. Also, this administration allows to bypass the gastrointestinal tract, has better safety record than intranasal vaccines and have better compliance for vaccinating infants and children. Additionally, they have a fast removal by body fluids and enzymes. PolyVac introduces a pioneering system for controlled targeted delivery of bioactive molecules and, for the proof of concept envisages the development of a sublingual vaccine for HIV. This concept comprises the development of a free-standing (FS) multilayer membrane that will present the double specificity to be immunoactive and specifically target the immune cells. To achieve this end, the FS will be loaded with a model antigen for immunotherapy and a chemotactic cytokine to specifically target the antigen presenting cells. Once loaded with the proteins, the FS membrane will become a bioactive patch. This patch will permit to deliver subunit vaccine components both spatially and temporally as dendritic cells will be attracted at the sublingual mucosa/patch interface ensuring efficient immune responses. Preclinical studies will follow in mice, by monitoring their immune response, for clinical translation and commercialisation of the proposed technology. It is expected to have, as final product, an innovative sublingual patch for human immunotherapy that among the advantages presented above will also overcome one of the main drawbacks of injected vaccines that is the storage at around 4°C. Overcoming this issue they could be widely used for immunotherapy in the developing countries.

In this framework, CARTRE is accelerating development and deployment of automated road transport by increasing market and policy certainties. CARTRE supports the development of clearer and more consistent policies of EU Member States in collaboration with industry players ensuring that ART systems and services are compatible on a EU level and are deployed in a coherent way across Europe. 
CARTRE includes a joint stakeholder’s forum in order to coordinate and harmonise ART approaches at European and international level. CARTRE creates a solid knowledge base of all European activities, supports current activities and structures research outcomes by enablers and thematic areas.
CARTRE involves more than 60 organisations to consolidate the current industry and policy fragmentation surrounding the development of ART.
Structural dynamics of membrane receptors at native-like conditions

Proteins embedded in cell membranes are vital signaling and trafficking platforms connecting the outside to the inside of a cell, and functioning as primary drug targets. DYNAMO is an integrative dynamic structural biology project, with the ambitious  goal of developing and implementing comprehensive experimental and computational approaches for studying the structural dynamics of membrane receptors (MRs) and their complexes at native-like conditions. DYNAMO is highly interdisciplinary, combining protein chemistry and computational physics to study dynamical processes underlying the function of MRs, and is designed to combine the expertise of the fellow and host. The project will establish an integrated platform based on the nanodisc-technology and the combined use of low- and high-resolution structural biology techniques to bring unique and alternative insights into the structural dynamics of MRs containing ”fuzzy” (i.e highly flexible) domains, and the role this plays in functional signaling assemblies. In order to broaden the scope of the project and secure a general applicability of the developed methodology, full-length tissue Factor (TF) and Ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) are selected as models of single-pass and multi-pass MRs. These MRs do not only display different topologies and functional assemblies but also different selectivity towards lipids. TF and GHS-R1a are central to blood coagulation and energy homeostasis, respectively, and also connected to genetic and metabolic disorders, and thereby not only relevant as model systems but also promising drug targets. The project will exploit the recent advances in SAXS/SANS-  and NMR-based methods to study the TF and GHS-R1a in nanodiscs, with an emphasis on their conformational ensemble nature. Upon the establishment of the methodology, it will be extended to study the interaction with their endogenous ligands.
Remote Sensing of Epibenthic Shellfish Using Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellite Imagery

On intertidal mudflats, reef-building shellfish, like the Pacific oyster and the blue mussel, provide a myriad of ecosystem services. Monitoring intertidal shellfish with high spatiotemporal resolution is important for fisheries, coastal management and ecosystem studies. Here, we explore the potential of X- (TerraSAR-X) and C-band (Radarsat-2) dual-polarized SAR data to map shellfish densities, species and coverage. We investigated two backscatter models (the integral equation model (IEM) and Oh’s model) for inversion possibilities. Surface roughness (vertical roughness RMSz and correlation length L) was measured of bare sediments and shellfish beds, which was then linked to shellfish density, presence and species. Oysters, mussels and bare sediments differed in RMSz, but because the backscatter saturates at relatively low RMSz values, it was not possible to retrieve shellfish density or species composition from X- and C-band SAR. Using a classification based on univariate and multivariate logistic regression of the field and SAR image data, we constructed maps of shellfish presence (Kappa statistics for calibration 0.56–0.74 for dual-polarized SAR), which were compared with independent field surveys of the contours of the beds (Kappa statistics of agreement 0.29–0.53 when using dual-polarized SAR). We conclude that spaceborne SAR allows one to monitor the contours of shellfish-beds (thus, distinguishing shellfish substrates from bare sediment and dispersed single shellfish), but not densities and species. Although spaceborne SAR cannot replace ground surveys entirely, it could very well offer a significant improvement in efficiency.
An econometric analysis of the Spanish fresh fish market

Abstract This article seeks to analyse the factors that determine the dynamics of the balance between supply and demand in the Spanish fresh fish market. For this, the time-series of fresh fish landed in the 1973–2009 period is analysed through an estimation of the series of transfer function models. Among other things, the findings in the Spanish case show a complex relationship between the amount of fish landed and price; a clear substitution relationship between fresh fish and aquaculture; a negative impact of labour costs in a manual labour-intensive sector such as fishing, which in developed countries is being affected by an exodus of manpower to other sectors where there is less uncertainty surrounding labour conditions; the impact of Spain being barred from international fishing grounds a result of the delimitation of exclusive economic zones (EEZs); and the dwindling importance of fisheries traffic as a result of the port devolution process begun in Spain in the early 1990s. The non-significance of a priori key factors, such as the price of oil and Spain's entry into the EEC, can be explained by widespread energy subsidies and contradictions in the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy, respectively.
Reshaping the Antarctic Circumpolar Current via Antarctic Bottom Water Export

Abstract Zonal momentum input into the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) by westerly winds is ultimately removed via topographic form stress induced by large bathymetric features that obstruct the path of the current. These bathymetric features also support the export of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) across the ACC via deep, geostrophically balanced, northward flows. These deep geostrophic currents modify the topographic form stress, implying that changes in AABW export will alter the ocean bottom pressure and require a rearrangement of the ACC in order to preserve its zonal momentum balance. A conceptual model of the ACC momentum balance is used to derive a relationship between the volume export of AABW and the shape of the sea surface across the ACC’s standing meanders. This prediction is tested using an idealized eddy-resolving ACC/Antarctic shelf channel model that includes both the upper and lower cells of the Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation, using two different topographic configurations to obstruct the flow of the ACC. Eliminating AABW production leads to a shallowing of the sea surface elevation within the standing meander. To quantify this response, the authors introduce the “surface-induced topographic form stress,” the topographic form stress that would result from the shape of the sea surface if the ocean were barotropic. Eliminating AABW production also reduces the magnitude of the eddy kinetic energy generated downstream of the meander and the surface speed of the ACC within the meander. These findings raise the possibility that ongoing changes in AABW export may be detectable via satellite altimetry.
Why Do We Do As We Do? Factors Influencing Clinical Reasoning and Decision-Making among Physiotherapists in an Acute Setting

Despite the current movement for health-care to become more informed by evidence, knowledge on effective implementation of evidence-based practice is scarce. To improve research application among physiotherapists, the process of implementation and clinical reasoning needs to be scrutinized. The aim of this study was to identify various experiences of factors that influence the physiotherapist's clinical reasoning in specialist care.A phenomenographic approach was chosen.Eleven physiotherapists at two acute care hospitals in nn.Data was obtained by observations and interviews. Phenomenographic data analysis identified various experiences of clinical decision-making.The Ethical Review Board of the nn approved the study.The observations and the interviews enabled identification of various experiences that influenced clinical decision-making. The physiotherapists' clinical reasoning was perceived to be constrained by contextual factors. The physiotherapists collected current information on the patient by using written and verbal information exchange and used this to generate an inner picture of the patient. By creating hypotheses that were accepted or rejected, they made decisions in advance of their interventions. The decisions were influenced by the individual characteristics of the physiotherapist, his/her knowledge and patient perceptions.Clinical reasoning is a complex and constantly evolving process. Contextual factors such as economy and politics are not easily changed, but factors such as the patient and the physiotherapist as a person are more tangible.

Chiral porphyrazine near-IR optical imaging agent exhibiting preferential tumor accumulation

A chiral porphyrazine (pz), H(2)[pz(trans-A(2)B(2))] (247), has been prepared that exhibits preferential in vivo accumulation in the cells of tumors. Pz 247 exhibits near-infrared (NIR) emission with lambda > 700 nm in the required wavelength range for maximum tissue penetration. When MDA-MB-231 breast tumor cells are treated with 247, the agent shows strong intracellular fluorescence with an emission maximum, 704 nm, which indicates that it localizes within a hydrophobic microenvironment. Pz 247 is shown to associate with the lipophilic core of LDL and undergo cellular entry primarily through receptor-mediated endocytosis accumulating in lysosomes. Preliminary in vivo studies show that 247 exhibits preferential accumulation and retention in the cells of MDA-MB-231 tumors subcutaneously implanted in mice, thereby enabling NIR optical imaging with excellent contrast between tumor and surrounding tissue. The intensity of fluorescence from 247 within the tumor increases over time up to 48 h after injection presumably due to the sequestration of circulating 247/LDL complex by the tumor tissue. As the need for cholesterol, and thus LDL, is elevated in highly proliferative tumor cells over nontumorigenic cells, 247 has potential application for all such tumors.
