“Castor Oil” – The culprit of acute hair felting

Acute hair felting is a rare disorder of scalp hair. In this condition, the hair becomes twisted, entangled as a hard stony mass resembling a bird's nest. Sudden hair matting has been reported earlier in the literature after vigorous use of chemical and herbal shampoos. Plica polonica is a patchy area of hair matting occurring in due course of time in neglected hair or underlying psychiatric illness. This case is interesting as the whole scalp hair matted immediately after using coconut oil and castor oil following washing. Growing long hair and taking oil bath are cultural and religious customs in South India. The high viscosity of castor oil and long hair had contributed to sudden felting of hair. This disorder of hair is irreversible and the hair should be cut off. Acute nature of this disorder will result in a serious psychological impact on the patient and the family.

Development of an innovative and safe ultralight two-seater turbine helicopter

Ultralight helicopters are used for a variety of transportation needs, attracting users from the recreational, private and public market segments because of their agility and convenient storage and transportation capacities. However, most ultralight helicopters on the market today are designed and manufactured with technology dating back to the 1980s. This creates a serious safety issue in adverse weather conditions. Indeed, ultralight helicopter accidents caused an estimated 57 deaths in Europe in 2013. The principal cause of these accidents is “Loss of Control-In Flight”. Many of these accidents could have been prevented with better ultralight helicopter designs and more powerful engines. 

The DISRUPT (Development of an innovative and safe ultralight, two-seater turbine helicopter) project is a state-of-the-art concept to manufacture a new and improved ultralight helicopter. Our helicopter design, turbine engine and parachute safety mechanism will make ultralight helicopter flights safer for passengers and reduce the number of tragedies caused by loss of pilot control.
COLLAPSIBLE MANDREL TOOLS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR FABRICATION OF WOUND COMPOSITE ARTICLES

Mandrels of various configuration, and action, including collapsible mandrels, to be used in forming composite articles with preselected three dimensional shapes and construction are disclosed and described. In one aspect, such a mandrel may have a plurality of discrete segments coupled about a longitudinal axis and collectively forming an enclosure with a substantially continuous exterior working surface. The working surface can have a network of intersecting grooves formed therein, and such grooves can cooperatively establish a substantially continuous interconnected lattice corresponding to the three dimensional geometric configuration to be imparted to a composite article formed. The mandrel may optionally include a removable core assembly to aid in collapse of the mandrel.
Curie surface of Borborema Province, Brazil

Abstract The Curie surface interpreted from magnetic data through spatial frequency domain techniques is used to provide information on the thermal structure of Borborema Province. The Borborema Province is part of the neoproterozoic collision of an orogenic system situated between the Sao Francisco-Congo and Sao Luis-West Africa cratons, which formed the Gondwana Supercontinent. The Curie surface of Borborema Province varies from 18 to 59 km, which reveals the complexity in the crustal composition of the study area. The thermal structure shows different crustal blocks separated by the main shear zones, which corroborates the evolution model of allochthonous terranes. The Curie surface signature for the west portion of Pernambuco Shear Zone may indicate processes of mantle serpentinization, once the Curie isotherm is deeper than Mohorovic discontinuity. In this region, the amplitude of Bouguer anomaly decreases, which corroborates long wavelength anomaly observed in the magnetic anomaly. We interpreted this pattern as evidence of the Brasiliano-Pan-Africano's subduction/collision event. Earthquakes in the region are concentrated mainly in shallow Curie surface regions (less resistant crust) and in transition zones between warm and cold blocks. We calculated the horizontal gradient of the Curie depth to emphasize the signature of contact between the thermal blocks. These regions mark possible crustal discontinuities, and have high correlation with orogenic gold occurrence in the study area.
Communicating without borders: opening of a cross-border cooperation forum between local institutions and organizations 

The project resumes the cross-border cooperation undertaken with the Castelmonte Covenant signed in 1999, that established the Board of Mayors and the Joint Italian-Slovenian Technical Committee. The Covenant also put forward the idea of extending the cooperation to a wider territory including the bordering area between Tarvisio and Gorizia. The project aims at implementing this initiative by setting up a forum, which consists of thematic round tables and is going to carry out political cooperation initiatives. The forum is organized according to different operational groups - institutional (concerning local administrations and development agencies) and thematic groups (related to the technical component of coordination and social, cultural and economic planning); the forum provides representation to the institutional components and to the representative organizations. Moreover, the Forum intends to favour the participants’ mutual knowledge and to coordinate several initiatives undertaken in the bordering area, through joint planning of cultural and socio-economic activities, in order to ensure a harmonious and synergic development. The groups’ work is collected in the homonymous bilingual publication, which is meant to be the starting point for the cross-border planning of the Mountain Community in cooperation with the Regional Development Centre of Kobarid.

Iris detection method using particle filter and edge directional features

In this paper, we propose an eye detection method that is adaptive to facial rotation, using a particle filter and edge directional features. To estimate the boundary between the iris and sclera or eyelid, the gradient intensities are calculated by 4 directional Prewitt filters in 4 regions. The likelihood used in the particle filter is obtained by averaging the gradient intensities for the specific direction in the 4 regions and the upper eyelid area. Moreover, incorrect detection is avoided by using the facial rotation angle and the eye distance, derived from the positional information of both eyes. From experimental results, the average detection rate of both eyes for facial rotation angles between −15° and 15° is 95.3 %. In addition, the rejection function, reflecting incorrect eye detection, provides a 2.8 % increment in the detection rate for both eyes. The experimental results show that the proposed eye detection method is robust to changes in facial rotation.
Horizontal Communication & Capitalization project for Innovation in Blue Growth at Mediterranean level

INTERREG MED promotes horizontal projects, which main objective is to ensure the communication/capitalisation activities of the modular projects in order to increase their impacts towards common identified targets. In the case of the InnoBlueGrowth, these activities are focused on the S.O.1.1. “to increase transnational activity of innovative clusters and networks of key sectors of the MED area”.
It proposes concrete activities—a communication strategy, community building initiatives and capitalisation events, among others—to build a real community of modular projects, dealing with Blue Growth.
This innovative community will allow the reinforcement of the cross-cutting and integrated approach between modular projects and transnational key stakeholders, which is a sine qua non condition to support Mediterranean clusters in their transnational activities processes. Moreover, it will enhance the dissemination and transferability of the modular projects results and will consequently ensure a wider and deeper impact towards external multilevel stakeholders, contributing to the sustainable socio-economic development of the Mediterranean area through innovative investments in the Blue economy.
Besides, developed in parallel of the “platform project” of the Axis 4 of the Programme, InnoBlueGrowth will ensure a close communication and coordination with it. The benefits will reach not only the projects and programmes scales, but also beyond, at the Member states level.
Responding or not responding to training; prediction of balance rehabilitation outcome from structural and functional brain networks in cerebral palsy.

When an injury occurs to the developing brain, as in Cerebral Palsy (CP), these children typically experience sensorimotor disorders such as muscle weakness, abnormal muscle activity, and ataxia. Poor balance control is a primary deficit in CP, which has a large impact on a child’s daily life, since it is crucial for independent mobility and greatly affects the risk of falls. CP is the most common developmental cause of physical disability in the world, with a prevalence of 2-3 in 1000 live births. To improve their quality of life, adequate treatment is essential. However, studies investigating the effectiveness of balance rehabilitation in CP have revealed mixed results. This is due to two reasons. First, due to the various clinical scales and experimental measures available, each measuring different components of balance, it is very complex to diagnose balance control in CP. Second, it is currently unknown which are the underlying neural causes of poor balance control in CP.
Since the success of well-targeted treatment depends on this basic knowledge, a novel experiment is suggested that provides fundamental insights in both areas. I will investigate whether balance training can promote postural and gait balance control in CP children. Clinical and experimental measures will be combined to allow for the determination of the best diagnostic tool for imbalance in CP. Using diffusion kurtosis imaging and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging, I will examine the structural and functional brain networks involved in balance control in CP and whether advances in balance control are supported by neuroplastic changes.
As some children will be less responsive to training, it is hypothesized that this innovative combination of behavioral and neurological assessments allows for the identification of the underlying causes of responsiveness, and, most importantly, the prediction of individual responsiveness based on medical brain images, using machine learning.

EFFECT OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF LEAVES OF Vitex negundo L. ON ACETIC ACID INDUCED COLITIS IN ALBINO RATS.

Objective - As the leaves of Vitex negundo L. possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, this study has been undertaken to evaluate the effect of Vitex negundo L. in experimentally induced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to find its probable mechanism of action including its antioxidant potential. Methods -The extract of Vitex negundo L. was prepared by percolation method. Acute toxicity test was done by using OECD guidelines. Albino rats were divided into four groups (n=5). Group A and B received 3% gum acacia. Group C and D received ethanolic extract of Vitex negundo L. (EEVN) 500 mg/kg BW and 5-aminosalisylic acid (5-ASA) 100 mg /kg BW respectively.  Colitis was induced by transrectal administration of 4% acetic acid on 5 th day. All animals were sacrificed after 48 hour of colitis induction and distal 10 cm of the colon was dissected. Colon was weighed for disease activity index (DAI) and scored macroscopically and microscopically. Biochemical assessment of tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) was done in colonic tissue homogenate and malondialdehyde (MDA) was estimated in serum. Results - Vitex negundo L. showed significant (p<0.05) reduction in DAI, macroscopic and microscopic lesion score as well as significant (p<0.05) improvement in MPO, MDA, CAT, and SOD level as compared to Group B. Conclusion- The ethanolic extract of leaves of Vitex negundo L. showed significant amelioration of experimentally induced colitis, which may be attributed to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant property. Key words : Colitis, Vitex negundo L. , antioxidant.
Architecture of Totalitarian Regimes of the XX° Century in Urban Management

From wounds of an inconvenient & terrible past, the architectural traces of totalitarian regimes of XX° Century could become an important source of local development, if they were managed & valorized through a trans - national cultural route (in compliance with requisites set out by the Council of Europe with the Resolution n° 12/07) corroborated by tourism cultural products. ATRIUM has been designed to address this still largely unexplored opportunity. Around this new cultural route, new services, and hence new jobs, could be created (hosting, guiding, monuments, restoration etc.), especially for young people and women. ATRIUM will pursue the following specific objectives: (I) identification of case-studies in the areas concerned (analysis of urban maps, urban & architectonical works), and hence of their underlying concept of city and power as well as meanings in term of relationships between citizens & totalitarian institutions; (II) selection of buildings & places of particular signification under past regimes, which could have (or currentl y have) a new aesthetical, functional & social task in contemporary democratic city; (III) preparation of a trans-national Manual (also for training purposes) of wise management, preservation re-use & economic valorisation of this "inconvenient" heritage. (IV) identification, collection & digital cataloguing of photograph archives, films, oral witnesses, furniture, etc. of the epochs concerned; (V) design of a cultural route on this heritage, in compliance with requisites set out by the Council of Europe (VI) promotion of forms of cultural tourism for economic valorisation of heritage concerned (and training of necessary operators), capable of attracting segments of international, especially European, growing cultural tourism demand, & hence to create new services & jobs. The partnership involves a balanced mix of 19 bodies (local authorities, universities, cultural & development entities etc.), distributed in 11 countries.
Postseismic afterslip 30 years after the 1978 Tabas-e-Golshan (Iran) earthquake: observations and implications for the geological evolution of thrust belts

This paper presents InSAR observations of postseismic afterslip occurring up to 30 yr after the Mw7.3 1978 Tabas-e-Golshan thrust-faulting earthquake in eastern Iran. Comparison of the surface motion from 1996 to 1999 with that from 2003 to 2010, along with information provided by the Quaternary-averaged slip rates of faults in the region, suggests that the imaged slip is transient and decaying through time. Models of the surface deformation field imply slip on faults dipping at 55 ± 10°, reaching from the surface to depths of 4–5 km, and slipping at 5 ± 1 mm yr-1. These faults outcrop on the margins of low anticlinal hills composed of actively uplifting Neogene deposits. When compared with the previously studied main shock focal parameters (slip on a plane dipping at 16 ± 5° with a centroid depth of \~9 km), and the aftershock distribution (a band at \~6–14 km), the InSAR results imply postseismic slip on a high-angle thrust ramp connecting the surface anticlines to the coseismic low-angle fault plane at depth. In one location, both a thrust ramp and also a backthrust are postseismically active. The InSAR observations demonstrate the role of postseismic afterslip in the growth of these commonly observed thrust belt geometries, and highlight that deformation throughout the seismic cycle can contribute to the geological evolution of regions of active faultin
Resource-sharing through an inter-institutional repository

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to be concerned with the motivations and resistance among an institutional repository (IR) stakeholder – the Library and Information Science (LIS) academicians – with respect to Green Road open access publishing in an inter-institutional repository. Design/methodology/approach – The answers were identified from 47 LIS faculty from three library schools in Malaysia who reported awareness of what an IR is and having had experience in contributing resources to digital repositories. Data were collected using survey and interviews. Findings – The results highlighted the LIS faculty on their motivation to share their intellectual profile, research and teaching resources in an inter-institutional repositories and why the reluctance in contributing. The study reveals that the major motivation to share resources for those practicing self-archiving is related to performance expectancy, social influence, visible and authoritative advantage, career benefit and quality work. The major resistance to share scholarly research output through self-archiving in institutional repositories for those practicing self-archiving is concern on plagiarism, time and effort, technical infrastructure, lack of self-efficacy and insularity. Practical implications – Knowing what conditions predict motivation and resistance to contribute to IRs would allow IR administrators to ensure greater and more effective participation in resource-sharing among LIS academic community. If this resistance is addressed aptly, IRs can be of real benefit to their teaching, scholarship, collaborations, and publishing and to the community that they serve. Originality/value – The first study that has explored the ways LIS academics respond to a situation where knowledge sharing in academe has now been made mandatory through an IR and what makes them resist to do so.

Which one? A comparative study of traditional and sports uniforms on academic achievement, cognitive performance, playtime, bullying, and discrimination in adolescents. The Cogni-Action Project

Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to compare academic achievement, cognitive performance, playtime, bullying, and discrimination in adolescents according to traditional (TU) and sports uniforms (SU) worn at school, while simultaneously exploring the influence of the school vulnerability index. Methods Nine hundred eighty-eight Chilean adolescents (52.6% boys) aged 10–14 years participated in this cross-sectional study. Academic achievement was evaluated by the average grade in maths, language, and science grades, while the cognitive performance was assessed through eight cognitive tasks. TU affecting physical activity, playtime, bullying, and discrimination were queried. Mixed model analyses were performed. Results No differences were observed in academic achievement (TU: 5.4 ± 0.1 vs. SU: 5.5 ± 0.2, p-value = 0.785) or in cognitive performance (TU: 99.6 ± 0.8 vs. SU: 98.9 ± 1.8, p-value = 0.754) according to school uniform type. Moreover, 64.1% of participants declared that wearing TU affects their physical activity, and those who believed so spent more time playing than those who answered negatively (14.5 min, p-value = 0.012). Finally, adolescents wearing SU displayed a lower feeling of bullying and discrimination; this finding depended mainly on the school’s vulnerability. Conclusion It is concluded that wearing a TU does not show an educational advantage at an academic and cognitive level that justifies its obligation. In addition, it could be suggested that schools consider adolescents’ opinions in adopting a more comfortable uniform, such as the SU. This feasible and low-cost measure would help to increase adolescents' physical activity during the school day and, contrary to belief, it would not be related to increased feelings of bullying and discrimination.
