Study of Rib Fracture Mechanisms Based on the Rib Strain Profiles in Side and Forward Oblique Impact

Rib fractures constitute a good indication of severity as there are the most frequent type of AIS3+ chest injuries. In 2008, Trosseille et al. showed a promising methodology to exhibit the rib fracture mechanisms, using strain gauges glued on the ribs of Post-Mortem Human Subjects (PMHS) and developing a specific signal analysis. In 2009, they published the results of static airbag tests performed on 50th percentile male PMHS at different distances and angles (pure lateral and 30 degrees forward oblique direction). To complete these already published data, a set of 8 PMHS lateral and oblique impactor tests were performed with the same methodology. The rib cages were instrumented with more than 100 strain gauges on the ribs, cartilage and sternum. A 23.4 kg impactor was propelled at 4.3 or 6.7 m/s. The forces applied onto the PMHS at 4.3 m/s ranged from 1.6 kN to 1.9 kN and the injuries varied from 4 to 13 rib fractures. At 6.7 m/s, the forces applied onto the PMHS ranged from 2.6 kN to 4 kN and the injuries varied from 9 to 16 rib fractures. The results of 24 tests from Trosseille et al. 2008 and 2009 and from the current study were processed in the same way and analyzed together. The time and location of the fractures were determined for each test and a ribcage fracture scenario was defined for each configuration. Strain profile corridors were built for pure lateral and forward oblique impacts, in the case of a rigid impact (impactor) or for an airbag loading. They can be used to assess the human body model biofidelity and the validation of rib fracture mechanisms in these models. Based on these corridors, the effects of the severity, the impact angle and the loading system on rib strain profiles were analyzed and are presented in this paper.
A Network Conditions Aware Geographical Forwarding Protocol for Real-Time Applications in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper presents a new routing protocol named RACE (network conditions Aware geographical forwarding protocol for real-time applications in mobile wireless sensor networks) that was developed to address the challenges found while using WSNs in a running competition scenario: QoS, mobility, and high workload. RACE aims to provide QoS requirements to the application layer by giving priority to real-time messages and also by handling network congestions. Routing is performed node-by-node, where each node calculates a score to choose the best node to forward the message. The main feature of our protocol is to also consider network conditions for calculating the score. Our simulation experiments show that RACE presents excellent performance in respect to message delivery ratio (up to 95\%) and deadline miss ratio (7\% in the worst case). For instance, we compared RACE with a well known protocol and observed that it outperformed this protocol in both metrics.
Using zebrafish as a novel tool to improve the diagnosis and outcome of marfan syndrome

Recent technological advances have brought the implementation of personal and precision medicine in the clinic within reach. In this project, we are proposing to use zebrafish as a novel, efficient tool to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment of Marfan Syndrome (MFS), a rare genetic disorder with a wide spectrum of clinical features. Since there is no definitive cure for MFS, patients need lifelong supportive treatment to prevent morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular complications. Together with the detection of a number of syndromic symptoms, positive diagnosis of MFS relies on the identification of a deleterious mutation in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene. Nevertheless, genetic testing often leads to the discovery of FBN1 variants which are not unequivocally linked to disease development. Current practice relies on the evaluation of historical and predictive parameters to classify variants of unknown significance as potentially causal mutations, but no biological model exists to efficiently validate the genetic classifications.
This project aims to make optimal use of the combination of the know-how of the researcher, Dr. Sips, in the field of cardiovascular physiology and animal models of disease, with the clinical expertise of the supervisor, Prof. De Backer, in the diagnosis and treatment of MFS patients. The goal is to develop a zebrafish-based model that will allow for the quick classification of unknown variants in the FBN1 gene to aid in the diagnosis of MFS. In addition, the model will allow an efficient screening of drug libraries to look for potential new therapies, which might make it possible to find patient-specific treatments.
Taken together, this project aims to take advantage of the synergy between the researcher and the supervisor in order to develop a novel strategy for a personalized approach to medicine. MFS is studied as a proof-of-concept clinical challenge with unmet needs in diagnosis and treatment.

The Effect of Dietary Protein Level on Total Ammonia Nitrogen and Free Ammonia Nitrogen Concentrations in a Serial-use Raceway used to Farm South African Abalone,<i>Haliotis midae</i>Linnaeus, 1758

ABSTRACT Ammonia is a toxic metabolite of protein catabolism that can limit growth and health of aquatic animals. This study investigated the effect of dietary protein level on the average total ammonia (TAN) and free ammonia nitrogen (FAN) concentrations in a serial-use raceway used to farm South African abalone, Haliotis midae Linneaus. Three isoenergetic diets contained 33% (P33), 26% (P26), and 22% (P22) protein. Biomass of abalone was 7.6 ± 0.1 kg/300-L tank (45–55 g/abalone). TAN and FAN concentrations were significantly correlated with dietary protein (P) (P < 0.0001) and flow index (FI; as measured by liters per hour per kilogram; P < 0.0001), and could be estimated using the models TAN = 9.73 P – 110.3 log (FI), and FAN = 0.132 P – 1.10 log (FI). Mean FAN concentration in the P22 and P26 treatments was 67% and 41% lower, respectively, than in tanks fed the P33 diet. Because this species can grow well on low-protein diets, it is hypothesized that a reduction in percentage protein will improve the ...

Emergency pre-hospital care of burn patients

Intensive care and the surgical therapy of burn injuries have made significant advancements. The immediate care on the scene of the accident, however, is not uniform. There is no 'golden hour' which will decide the further clinical process. The acute estimate of the percentage of the extent of the burns is of little relevance and does not facilitate the admission to a burn unit. The emergency calculation of the volume of intravenous infusion is not advisable. The choice of transport has no discernible impact on the prognosis of the patient. Avoiding hypothermia and perceiving associated trauma can be of crucial prognostic importance in the pre-hospital care of burn patients. Detailed knowledge about the circumstances of the injury is of exceeding importance.

Neural network and wavelets in prediction of cosmic ray variability: The North Africa as study case

Abstract Since the Earth is permanently bombarded with energetic cosmic rays particles, cosmic ray flux has been monitored by ground based neutron monitors for decades. In this work an attempt is made to investigate the decomposition and reconstructions provided by Morlet wavelet technique, using data series of cosmic rays variabilities, then to constitute from this wavelet analysis an input data base for the neural network system with which we can then predict decomposition coefficients and all related parameters for other points. Thus the latter are used for the recomposition step in which the plots and curves describing the relative cosmic rays intensities are obtained in any points on the earth in which we do not have any information about cosmic rays intensities. Although neural network associated with wavelets are not frequently used for cosmic rays time series, they seems very suitable and are a good choice to obtain these results. In fact we have succeeded to derive a very useful tool to obtain the decomposition coefficients, the main periods for each point on the Earth and on another hand we have now a kind of virtual NM for these locations like North Africa countries, Maroc, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Cairo. We have found the aspect of very known 11-years cycle: T1, we have also revealed the variation type of T2 and especially T3 cycles which seem to be induced by particular Earth's phenomena.

Application of Petri nets towards improved utilization of machines in job shop manufacturing environments

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the use of Petri nets in a job shop setup for the improvement in the utilization of machines. Design/methodology/approach The study discusses concepts such as reachable state, token and matrix equations set, and demonstrates the improvements in machines’ utilization in a job shop. It makes use of algorithms to generate reachable markings to obtain utilization. The study not only describes the application of theory, but also extends the body of knowledge on Petri nets and job shops. Findings In this study, machines’ utilization has been studied in a job shop with six machines and eight products. The study finds that substantial utilization improvement in job shop set up can be obtained through the application of Petri nets. The study also exposes that Petri nets are mostly used for machines, jobs and tools scheduling problems, but its use in machines’ utilization is neglected. The framework and application presented here along with generalizable findings, is the first to report about machine utilization improvement in job shop manufacturing environment. Practical implications Job shops are characterized by high unit production cost, low investments, low volume and high variety, complex flows, flexible and skilled work force, general purpose machines, high material handling; resulting in poor utilization of machines. Therefore, the findings of this study can help in reducing such costs through better machine utilization. This can help in increasing the competitiveness of the companies. Originality/value The contribution of study lies in investigating and improving stage wise utilization in a job shop setup. It has never been reported before.
Progressive Keratolysis with Pseudopterygium Associated with Erythema Elevatum Diutinum

To report a patient with a rare case of progressive keratolysis with pseudopterygium associated with erythema elevatum diutinum (EED).Interventional case report and literature review.One patient with ocular presentation of EED was identified.A 64-year-old woman presented with recurrent pterygium and painful corneal thinning with impending perforation of the left eye. Examination revealed intensely inflamed pseudopterygium, paracentral and peripheral corneal ulcerations, and descemetocele with a pinpoint leakage.Clinical course and laboratory and histopathologic findings.Disseminated skin lesions developed during hospital admission. Examination revealed multiple, well-demarcated, discrete, red to violaceous, firm nodules and plaques on the knuckles and dorsum of the hands, and the extensor surface of the forearms, elbows, knees, right ankle, and buttocks. A skin biopsy of the recent lesions showed a dense and diffuse inflammatory cell infiltration, predominantly neutrophilic infiltrates and nuclear dust (leukocytoclasis), located around small blood vessels in the dermis, consistent with the diagnosis of EED. The diagnosis of progressive keratolysis with pseudopterygium associated with EED was made. Spontaneous, rapid resolution of both cutaneous and ocular lesions occurred after dapsone therapy.Erythema elevatum diutinum is a rare, chronic, and recurrent disease that has both dermatologic and ocular manifestations. Peripheral ulcerative keratitis seems to be the most common ocular finding and may be the initial presenting feature of EED. Ophthalmologists should be aware of this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of ulcerative or nonulcerative peripheral keratitis.
Propeeler: enhanced shrimp peeling machine with full control and optimisation of the process to enable full automation of the shrimp peeling industry

ProPeeler is an optimised peeling machine that will disrupt the current paradigm of the shrimp industry, one of the most popular seafood traded worldwide (20% of all seafood). Shrimp suppliers need solutions to increase their yields all while they reduce environmental footprint, improve the working conditions of their facilities, and ensure careful food safety and hygiene production while meeting growing demands. Automation has been one of the trends to respond to these growing pressures, evidenced by the fact that the processing equipment market is projected to surpass the €70 billion by 2022. 
Hand-peeling continues to dominate shrimp production since a stable electricity and water supply, high costs of upfront investment and fluctuating global market prices of shrimp continue to be barriers for the switch to automation. With 30 years of experience in the sector, Martak has led the development of innovative products for the cold-water shrimp segment, securing 60% of the market. ProPeeler, the most innovative edition of our peeling technology incorporates automated features of the machinery (direct drive mechanisms, unique water control system, improved uplift system and angle control mechanism) with real-time monitoring via a revolutionary vision control system that facilitates immediate intervention of the operator. ProPeeler allows shrimp producers to increase their yields, saves up to 70% of electricity and 20% of water usage. In addition, the return of investment can be expected within 6-7 months.
Since ProPeeler is 20 years ahead of the current technology in the warm-water shrimp segment, it presents a real opportunity to enter a new market. Five years after ProPeeler market launch we plan to have penetrated the EU-Mediterranean countries, the US, South America and Asia. We have forecasted an accumulated revenue of €25 million in the five-year period after market launch and the creation of up to 10 new job positions
A Survey Conducted on Patients’ and Urologists’ Perceptions of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

To better understand the discrepancy that may exist between urologists and patients on various aspects of their perception of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Questionnaires on BPH for patients and urologists and a BPH patient education brochure were developed. 141 patients with symptoms of BPH completed a set of two questionnaires, to be filled out before and after reading the education brochure. 172 urologists practicing in Korea were randomly selected to complete the questionnaire.Nearly 60% of patients misunderstood the risk for BPH to progress to prostate cancer. In addition, the perceived risks of untreated BPH, desirable treatment effects and undesirable side effects were significantly different between the patients and the urologists. Among the discrete attributes of available medical therapy, the 5α-reductase inhibitor monotherapy was the preferred method chosen by patients. Although the patient brochure significantly improved most of the patients' misconceptions about BPH, the patient preference did not change significantly.Patients with BPH do not have accurate information about their disease and their expectations of treatment may be very different from their urologist.
