Oral health in preschool children with cerebral palsy: a case-control community-based study

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry 2010; 20: 330-335 Objectives. To assess and compare the oral health status of preschool children with and without cerebral palsy (CP). Methods. Preschool children with CP (72) were recruited from 23 Special Child Care Centers in Hong Kong. An age (+/-3 months) and gender matched sample of preschool children from mainstream preschools were recruited as the control group. Dental caries status, gingival health status, tooth wear, developmental defect of enamel, malocclusion, dental trauma and oral mucosal health were assessed and compared between the two groups. Results. Significant differences in gingival health status were found between children with and without CP (mean plaque index scores, P = 0.001 and mean gingival index scores, P < 0.05). Tooth wear involving dentine was more prevalent among CP children (P < 0.001), as were evidence of anterior open-bite (P < 0.001) and oral mucosal lesions (P < 0.05). Children with and without CP had similar caries experiences (P > 0.05), prevalence of enamel defects (P > 0.05) and dental trauma (P > 0.05). Conclusions. Differences of oral health status exist among preschool children with and without CP. Preschool children fare worse in terms of gingival health, tooth wear, oral mucosal health and malocclusion.
Trimethine cyanine dyes with an indole nucleus: Synthesis and spectral properties studies

Abstract A series of trimethine quinoline cyanine dyes with an indole nucleus were designed and synthesized based on the chemical structures of Cy3 and TO. The structures of all dyes were confirmed by 1HNMR and MS. Studies on their spectral properties showed that the trimethine cyanine dyes had properties of both the embedded dye TO and the bonded dye Cy3. The maximum fluorescence wavelength of the final cyanine dyes shifted red compared with those of Cy3 and TO alone. When we changed the substituent groups on the indole ring of the dye, both the fluorescence intensity and wavelength exhibited corresponding changes. The fluorescence wavelength of indole quinoline with an electron donor group shifted red and the fluorescence intensity was enhanced with good photostability. When labeled with BSA, a significant fluorescence enhancement could be observed.
Quantitative Fit Analysis of Orthopedic Bone Plates: Methods, Criteria and Approach

Studies on quantitative fit analysis of precontoured fracture fixation plates emerged within the last few years and therefore, there is a wide research gap in this area. Quantitative fit assessment facilitates the measure of the gap between a fracture fixation plate and the underlying bone, and specifies the required plate fit criteria. For clinicallymeaningful fit assessment outcome, it is necessary to establish the appropriate criteria and parameter. The present paper studies this subject and recommends using multiple fit criteria and the maximum distance between the plate and underlying bone as fit parameter for clinically relevant outcome. We also propose the development of a software tool for automatic plate positioning and fit assessment for the purpose of implant design validation and optimization in an effort to provide better fitting implant that can assist proper fracture healing. The fundamental specifications of the software are discussed.

Assessment of solar energy potential over the United Arab Emirates using remote sensing and weather forecast data

Abstract This research proposes innovative maps to describe the land relative suitability indices for the implementation of solar energy systems (PV and CSP) over the United Arab Emirates. These maps have been developed by combining the solar irradiances maps (global horizontal irradiance and direct normal irradiance) with the effects of the land constraints (land slope, land use and land accessibility to the transportation infrastructure) and weather conditions (airborne dust properties, wind speed, relative humidity, air temperature). Remote sensing, weather forecast models and geospatial information system (GIS) offer excellent tools for estimating and monitoring the aforementioned data at high temporal and spatial resolutions. Indeed, these data have acceptable accuracy to provide a good understanding of the degree of exposure to these data over each location. Our results highlight the potential for using the considered tools to estimate the UAE land capability map, dust/relative-humidity/air-temperature risk map and finally the land relative suitability index for both PV and CSP power plants setting. The obtained results confirm that PV power plants are more appropriate for the UAE context than CSP power plants. In fact, the most suitable areas for PV power plants are located in the eastern side of the country, an area which represents 9.7% of the UAE’s total land area. As for the CSP power plants, their most suitable areas are located on the coast nearby Abu-Dhabi and the extreme south of the UAE, with an area that represents 1%.
Welcome for new International Markets in Haute-Provence and Langhe Roero

Development of touristic activity is one the major factor of competitivity within ALCOTRA’s territories. However, a lot of transalpine territories suffered of a common problematic: the atomisation of the touristic offer and the lack of a collective approach to put in network public and private actors. AMPELO propose to increase cross-border knowledges related to e-tourism, welcoming tourists and a good understanding of foreign client’s expectations. AMPELO aims to increase operator’s competences, reach international markets to have access to economic benefits, and finally, be focused on wine sector for its landscapes and cultural resources.
An Energy Aware Schedule Based Remote Triggered Wireless Sensor Network Laboratory

Over the past decade, experimentation for wireless sensor network (WSN) has been widely used to enrich the learning experience of educators and learners. Our remote triggered WSN laboratory is a multi-set, multi-group, WSN experimental setup that provides an intuitive web-based interface to carry out remote experimentation as well as code editing by registered users. This paper presents a multi-level time based scheduling algorithm for our lab which provides optimum utilization, performance and service. Our WSN testbed consists of more than 150 sensor nodes deployed in indoor and outdoor environment. Energy efficiency and delay optimization of WSN testbed are ensured in the design which employs TDMA and state transition schemes. We have implemented and tested two approaches for energy efficiency namely an on demand scheduling and a TDMA based approach which incorporates state transition and CDMA. The performance evaluation result shows that 78% power consumption has been reduced in second approach compared to first. The paper details the implementation of energy efficiency with dynamic scheduling for our real-time remote triggered WSN.

Tritium<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>β</mml:mi></mml:math>decay in chiral effective field theory

We evaluate the Fermi and Gamow-Teller (GT) matrix elements in tritium $\beta$-decay by including in the charge-changing weak current the corrections up to one loop recently derived in nuclear chiral effective field theory ($\chi$ EFT). The trinucleon wave functions are obtained from hyperspherical-harmonics solutions of the Schrodinger equation with two- and three-nucleon potentials corresponding to either $\chi$ EFT (the N3LO/N2LO combination) or meson-exchange phenomenology (the AV18/UIX combination). We find that contributions due to loop corrections in the axial current are, in relative terms, as large as (and in some cases, dominate) those from one-pion exchange, which nominally occur at lower order in the power counting. We also provide values for the low-energy constants multiplying the contact axial current and three-nucleon potential, required to reproduce the experimental GT matrix element and trinucleon binding energies in the N3LO/N2LO and AV18/UIX calculations.
The Correlation between Chemical Composition, as Determined by UPLC-TOF-MS, and Acute Toxicity ofVeratrum nigrumL. andRadix paeoniae alba

The eighteen incompatible medicaments is an important theory in traditional Chinese medicine. The theory suggests that drugs in the eighteen incompatible medicaments can be toxic when used together. Veratrum nigrum L. and Radix paeoniae alba belong to the eighteen incompatible medicaments and have been prohibited for thousands of years. This study offers preliminary insight into the mechanism and chemical constituents responsible for the incompatibility and toxicity of these two agents. Specifically, we performed toxicology studies to identify and quantify the constituent substances of the two agents. Experiments revealed that acute toxicity increases when the dose of V. nigrum L. is higher than, or equal to, RPA. UPLC-TOF-MS analysis showed that, although the volumes of V. nigrum L. were the same, the content of some veratrum alkaloids changed significantly and had a trend toward a highly positive correlation<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mfenced separators="|"><mml:mrow><mml:mfenced open="|" close="|" separators="|"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>r</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:mfenced><mml:mo>≥</mml:mo><mml:mn>0.8</mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:mfenced></mml:math>with toxicity. This suggests that the increased toxicity of the V. nigrum L. and RPA combination was due mainly to increased content of the special veratrum alkaloids. The cytotoxicity of veratridine in SH-SY5Y cells was decreased with increasing paeoniflorin concentrations. This study provides insight into the mechanism behind the incompatibility theory of TCM.

A Power Management Strategy for Hybrid Buses Using Measured Driving Route Information

Pontryagin's Minimum Principle (PMP)-based power management strategy is known as one of the promising candidates for hybrid vehicles. The point of this strategy in the real-world driving condition is the determination of the costate value. This research deals with hybrid buses. The characteristic of the specified driving route of the buses makes the realization of the PMP-based strategy easier compared to the case of passenger cars. This research proposes a realization methodology of the PMP-based power management strategy for hybrid buses by presenting a case study of a fuel cell hybrid bus. Several points on the proposed methodology are also discussed.

Fibre optic sensor that can be placed inside a barrel or vat to give real time analytics of the critical parameters for vinification.

Vinification is the process of turning grapes into wine. Wine production is directly linked to vinification monitoring by measuring certain critical parameters. Buying the testing equipment is not an option for most winemakers: a spectrometer for wine applications can go up to €150k (high CAPEX) and requires highly qualified operating personnel (high OPEX). Therefore, the most common methods used by EU producers for vinification monitoring are sampling and offline testing which also still involve enormous costs to the wine producers. Indeed, in a worldwide market worth €261 billion, winemakers are spending yearly €667 million in Europe alone for vinification technologies.

Winegrid® is a real time and remote monitoring platform that will allow winemakers to have an eye inside the wine vat. Winegrid is a smart solution based on a network of innovative sensors placed in a container (barrel, tank, press) during the vinification process of wine. It is capable of providing, for the first time ever, real-time analysis and control the 5 crucial vinification parameters (level, colour, turbidity, density and temperature), sending information directly to a specially built online platform. It is the internet of things (IoT) for wine production. 

This project fills a highly desired need in Europe by revolutionising the vinification process. Our commercialisation plan is to sell to European winemakers that want to reduce costs, improve efficiency and the quality of their wine. For this project, we intend optimise our equipment through miniaturisation and gain a greater understanding of different market segments within our target markets. Following this in phase 2 we plan to demonstrate our product’s benefits in a large scale in order to reduce the entry barriers in a traditional field as is winemaking.
Lunga notte della ricerca - lange nacht der forschung 2014

In the alpine province of South Tyrol (500,000 inhabitants) science and innovation do not have a long tradition, but as everywhere they are crucial for the future development of the economy. LUNA (LUnga Notte della ricerca – Lange NAcht der Forschung), which takes place every other year, is a great opportunity for the population to get in touch with scientists, to learn about research projects in the region and to have fun with scientific themes. The main organisers of LUNA are committed to creating a tradition for science and innovation in South Tyrol, organising different science events at planned intervals: LUNA every second year, science cafés every summer, activities for schools throughout the school year, etc. LUNA will be organised for the fourth time on 26 September in Bolzano/Bozen, the principal town of South Tyrol with 100,000 inhabitants. Once again a consortium comprising the European Academy of Bolzano/Bozen, the Free University of Bolzano /Bozen  and Techno Innovation South Tyrol will be the main organisers with their headquarters used as the major venues. A further five to seven additional partners (businesses, museums and other research institutions) are expected to open their doors as well. The Night will thus transform Bolzano into an exciting science park, where children and adults will be able to have fun with science at up to ten different venues connected via a free shuttle service. An intensive Awareness Campaign will ensure that about 300,000 people will be aware of  LUNA. We expect around 14,000 – 16,000 visitors. From 5 pm until midnight we will show our guests, how “Science makes you fly” – which is the main theme for this year’s event. People will be given the opportunity to participate in many different interactive presentations, games, quizzes, experiments and science performances. They will have the chance to talk, enjoy themselves, eat, drink and even dance with experts and scientists from many different discipline
Cross-modal Interactions during Perception of Audiovisual Speech and Nonspeech Signals: An fMRI Study

Abstract During speech communication, visual information may interact with the auditory system at various processing stages. Most noteworthy, recent magnetoencephalography (MEG) data provided first evidence for early and preattentive phonetic/phonological encoding of the visual data stream—prior to its fusion with auditory phonological features [Hertrich, I., Mathiak, K., Lutzenberger, W., &amp; Ackermann, H. Time course of early audiovisual interactions during speech and non-speech central-auditory processing: An MEG study. Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 21, 259–274, 2009]. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, the present follow-up study aims to further elucidate the topographic distribution of visual–phonological operations and audiovisual (AV) interactions during speech perception. Ambiguous acoustic syllables—disambiguated to /pa/ or /ta/ by the visual channel (speaking face)—served as test materials, concomitant with various control conditions (nonspeech AV signals, visual-only and acoustic-only speech, and nonspeech stimuli). (i) Visual speech yielded an AV-subadditive activation of primary auditory cortex and the anterior superior temporal gyrus (STG), whereas the posterior STG responded both to speech and nonspeech motion. (ii) The inferior frontal and the fusiform gyrus of the right hemisphere showed a strong phonetic/phonological impact (differential effects of visual /pa/ vs. /ta/) upon hemodynamic activation during presentation of speaking faces. Taken together with the previous MEG data, these results point at a dual-pathway model of visual speech information processing: On the one hand, access to the auditory system via the anterior supratemporal “what” path may give rise to direct activation of “auditory objects.” On the other hand, visual speech information seems to be represented in a right-hemisphere visual working memory, providing a potential basis for later interactions with auditory information such as the McGurk effect.
