Measurement of Intraocular Pressure with Pressure Phosphene Tonometry in Children

To study the accuracy and acceptability of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement by the pressure phosphene tonometer, non-contact tonometer, and Goldmann tonometer in children.Fifty children (5 to 14 years old) participated in this prospective comparative study. IOP was measured with the pressure phosphene tonometer, non-contact tonometer, and Goldmann tonometer by three different examiners who were masked to the results. The children were also asked to grade the degree of discomfort from 0 to 5 (0 = no discomfort; 5 = most discomfort).The mean IOPs measured by the Goldmann tonometer, pressure phosphene tonometer, and non-contact tonometer were 15.9 mm Hg (standard deviation [SD]: = 5.5 mm Hg; range: 10 to 36 mm Hg), 16.0 mm Hg (SD: 2.9 mm Hg; range: 12 to 25 mm Hg), and 15.7 mm Hg (SD = 5.1 mm Hg; range: 8 to 32 mm Hg), respectively (P = .722). The mean difference between pressure phosphene tonometer and Goldmann tonometer readings was 2.9 mm Hg and that between non-contact tonometer and Goldmann tonometer readings was 2.1 mm Hg. The 95% confidence interval of the mean difference between pressure phosphene tonometer and Goldmann tonometer readings was -1.07 and 1.19, and that between non-contact tonometer and Goldmann tonometer readings was -1.07 and 0.53. The mean discomfort ratings for the pressure phosphene tonometer, non-contact tonometer, and Goldmann tonometer were 0.6, 2.0, and 2.3, respectively (P < .001).Although the pressure phosphene tonometer was less accurate than the non-contact tonometer compared with Goldmann tonometer, it gave a reasonably close estimate and had a high specificity of raised IOP. In addition, measurement by the pressure phosphene tonometer is most acceptable to children. The pressure phosphene tonometer can be considered as an alternative method of IOP measurement in children.
A natural SUSY Higgs near 125 GeV

The naturalness of a Higgs boson with a mass near 125 GeV is explored in a variety of weak-scale supersymmetric models. A Higgs mass of this size strongly points towards a non-minimal implementation of supersymmetry. The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model now requires large A-terms to avoid multi-TeV stops. The fine-tuning is at least 1% for low messenger scales, and an order of magnitude worse for high messenger scales. Naturalness is significantly improved in theories with a singlet superfield S coupled to the Higgs superfields via \lambda\ S H_u H_d. If \lambda\ is perturbative up to unified scales, a fine-tuning of about 10% is possible with a low mediation scale. Larger values of \lambda, implying new strong interactions below unified scales, allow for a highly natural 125 GeV Higgs boson over a wide range of parameters. Even for \lambda\ as large as 2, where a heavier Higgs might be expected, a light Higgs boson naturally results from singlet-doublet scalar mixing. Although the Higgs is light, naturalness allows for stops as heavy as 1.5 TeV and a gluino as heavy as 3 TeV. Non-decoupling effects among the Higgs doublets can significantly suppress the coupling of the light Higgs to b quarks in theories with a large \lambda, enhancing the \gamma \gamma\ and WW signal rates at the LHC by an order one factor relative to the Standard Model Higgs.

An automated Bayesian pipeline for rapid analysis of single-molecule binding data

Single-molecule binding assays enable the study of how molecular machines assemble and function. Current algorithms can identify and locate individual molecules, but require tedious manual validation of each spot. Moreover, no solution for high-throughput analysis of single-molecule binding data exists. Here, we describe an automated pipeline to analyze single-molecule data over a wide range of experimental conditions. In addition, our method enables state estimation on multivariate Gaussian signals. We validate our approach using simulated data, and benchmark the pipeline by measuring the binding properties of the well-studied, DNA-guided DNA endonuclease, TtAgo, an Argonaute protein from the Eubacterium Thermus thermophilus. We also use the pipeline to extend our understanding of TtAgo by measuring the protein's binding kinetics at physiological temperatures and for target DNAs containing multiple, adjacent binding sites.
Forms for: Adapting to Climate Change through Territorial Strategies!

F:ACTS! means ‘Forms for: Adapting to Climate change through Territorial Strategies’. Climate change and its predictable effects in terms of natural hazards offer a big challenge for policy makers at regional and local level that deal with integrated territorial approaches. The big gap between the increasing body of scientific research and the concrete and necessary preparation at regional and local level is the main rationale for F:ACTS! It brings together a partnership of 14 organisations, many of them experienced and committed to interregional learning and developing. All of the partners have the competence to carry out, support or innovate in the field of integrated territorial development and all have the urgent task to anticipate on climate change. The discussion about climate change has surpassed its theoretical / hypothetical level. The partnership considers the developments as ‘FACTS’ and it will look very structured and creatively F(or concrete):ACT(ion)S!
F:ACTS! is focused on risk prone areas that lack resilience to respond to and recover from extreme weather. Prevention of hazards often has a spatial dimension touching functions and land use structures. Examples are; creating room to prevent flooding, improving access, zoning and managing of forests to reduce risks of wild fires, creating climate buffers around vulnerable natural areas to mitigate effects of extreme weather on valuable ecosystems. Regional and local governments are not well prepared to use integrated territorial strategies for adapting to climate change. Such strategies aim to make room for new land use functions, to rearrange ownership and use and to convert areas into these new functions. Territorial strategies are sometimes misunderstood to be the same as spatial planning. Territorial strategies in F:ACTS! context is a pro-active implementation oriented package of interventions in which governments and private parties work together in active stakeholder approaches.
F:ACTS! is a partnership of regions across Europe. It contains a mix of organisations dealing with policy making, implementation and innovation at relevant government levels. Via review, study visits, thematic workshops and identification of good practice, the stage is set for concrete work in pilot areas. The pilots - in tune with a well-planned dissemination approach - will deliver important outcome for policy makers and practitioners and it will facilitate active transfer of approaches. F:ACTS! will deliver useful accessible documents, a handbook and recommendations for policy makers. All of this will strengthen the implementation capacity, it will lead to increased awareness among experts and policy makers to act and it will deliver more effective territorial development approaches at regional and local level.
ALPINE MOBILITY MANAGEMENT

Facing common mobility issues, Austrian, French and Italian territories gather together in order to develop innovative sustainable mobility offers and services for transport users at local and regional level. The project encompasses all kinds of alpine mobilities (work, tourism, business…) and involves its different actors. It promotes a strong transnational cooperation through common approaches and experience exchanges. Practically, the project aims at setting innovative and sustainable mobility services and offers through pilot actions. It sets, develops and networks mobility centres. The results will be formalised in a Charter on Sustainable Alpine Mobility in order to be valued at Alpine and European level . Giving an operational content to the notion of sustainable mobility, the project is most relevant in the fields of environment and planning. It promotes the use of clean technologies, collective transports and soft mobilities and also aims at improving the Alpine image.
Child support repositioning mechanism

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a repositioning mechanism adapted for use with a swing and configured to permit a child support to be secured a forward-facing position and one or more side-facing positions. In particular, the repositioning mechanism is configured to maintain the child support's center of gravity in the same lateral position in both the forward-facing and side-facing positions, as well as to effect longitudinal movement ensuring the child support remains longitudinally proximate to its point or points of support, such as a point of rotation.
Contemporary Philosophy of Mind and Buddhist Thought

Recent years have seen a growing interest in Buddhist thought as a potential source of alternative conceptions of the nature of the mind and the relation between the mental and the physical. This article considers and assesses three different models of what contemporary philosophy of mind can learn from Buddhist thought. One model, advocated by Alan Wallace, holds that we can learn from Buddhist meditation that both individual consciousness and the physical world itself emerge from a deeper, “primordial” consciousness. A second model, supported by Owen Flanagan, maintains that we should accept from Buddhist thought only what is compatible with physicalism, and thus draws from Buddhism only insights into moral psychology and spirituality. Evan Thompson has developed a third, phenomenological approach, which derives from Buddhism a non-dualistic account of the relation between the mental and the physical, dissolving the “explanatory gap” between them. I suggest that all of these models face significant challenges, and propose a different model derived from the Buddhist philosopher Nāgārjuna, which shows the potential to resolve some of the challenges facing contemporary theories of consciousness.
Application of the Stirling engine driven with cryogenic exergy of LNG (liquefied natural gas) for the production of electricity

Abstract LNG (liquefied natural gas) delivered by means of sea-ships is pressurized and then regasified before its introduction to the system of pipelines. The utilization of cryogenic exergy of LNG for electricity production without combustion of any its portion is analyzed. For the conversion of LNG cryogenic exergy into electricity, the Stirling engine is proposed to be applied. The theoretical thermodynamic model of Stirling engine has been applied. This model is used to investigate the influence of pinch temperature in heat exchangers, engine compression ratio and dead volumes ratios on the thermodynamic parameters of the Stirling engine. The results of simulation represent the input data for investigations of thermodynamic performance of the proposed system. In order to evaluate the thermodynamic performance of the proposed process, an exergy analysis has been applied. The exergy efficiency and influence of design and operational parameters on exergy losses are determined for each of the proposed system configurations. The obtained results represent the background for advanced exergy-based analyses, including thermo-ecological cost.
MIST TREATMENT OF GARMENTS

An apparatus and method for applying textile treatment finishing agents to garments or garment work pieces is provided. The apparatus includes a rotating drum (32) and a nozzle (15) for generating a fine mist or fog of textile treatment agents inside the rotating drum (32). The apparatus can be constructed as a dedicated processing machine, or a conventional, industrial washer or dryer can be fitted with an appropriate nozzle (15) and feed lines (16, 19) to provide a dual purpose machine which can be used for its originally intended purpose, and can be selectively used for applying textile treatment agents. Uniform coverage of the surface of the garment is assured by tumbling the garments through the fog created by the nozzle means (15). By controlling the size of the droplets, and the time during which mist or fog is generated, the amount of chemical agent absorbed by the garments can be controlled. The use of the finely divided, air dispersed liquid agent avoids wasted processing chemicals and permits the use of more concentrated chemical agents.

Comic motifs in romances of chivalry of spanish golden age

Romances of chivalry are one of the most representative literary genres of Spanish Golden Age,
which gained great popularity in XVI century. In the last few years, critical studies have stressed the
importance of the uniformity of this corpus, which includes many imitations, sequels, and prequels resuming
the threads of the narration where they were dropped. The main consequence is that the genre involves a
great deal of stereotyping of the same situations, contexts, even episodes, which became common motifs and
recognizable formulas for the readers. The fictitious biography of a knight-errant, a Christian prince who
establishes his heroic credentials, finding love and power, is only the basic thread of a structure which
presents a reiterative pattern where themes and motifs are usually combined in the same fashion. A motif is
the smallest narrative unit of a tale, that shows persistence in the tradition, where it survived with a specific
identity, and can be included in different contexts; it is a recurrent unit with a fixed narrative or descriptive
content; generally, it concerns a specific episode or accident: the main action is consistent in every
manifestation of the motif, but details can (and do) change. The main focus of this proposal is the analysis
and categorisation of comic motifs (jokes and pranks) in the corpus of chivalric novels, starting from its most
famous cycles. The research is also meant to study poetic and literary treatises of XVI-XVII centuries, to
develop a reflection on the value, function and meaning of comic expression at the time. The comic elements
of the genre will be then compared to the parody of the romances of chivalry realised by Cervantes in Don
Quixote. This research will consolidate the general paradigm of the genre, studying its morphology; the
concept of motif will be used as the interpretative key to approach both the formal aspect of the genre and its
ideological background.
Crustal accretion of thick mafic crust in Iceland: implications for volcanic rifted margins

Rifting near hotspots results in mantle melting to create thick mafic igneous crust at volcanic rifted margins (VRMs). This mafic crust is transitional between rifted continental crust with mafic intrusions landward and oceanic crust into which it grades seaward. Seismic velocities, crustal drilling, and exhumed margins show that the upper crust in these areas is composed of basaltic lava erupted in subaerial to submarine conditions intruded by downward increasing proportions of dikes and sparse gabbroic intrusions. The lower crust of these regions is not exposed but is inferred from seismic velocities (Vp &gt; 6.5 km/sec) and petrological constraints to be gabbroic to ultramafic in composition. Limited access to crustal sections generated along VRMs have raised questions regarding the composition and structure of this transitional crust and how it evolves during the early stages of rifting and subsequent seafloor spreading. Active processes in Iceland provide a glimpse of subaerial spreading with the creation of a thick (40–25 km) mafic igneous crust that may be analogous to the transitional crust of VRMs. Segmented rift zones that propagate away from the Iceland hotspot, migrating transform fault zones, and rift-parallel strike-slip faults create a complex plate boundary zone in the upper, brittle crust. These structures may be decoupled from underlying lower crustal gabbroic rocks that are capable of along-axis flow that smooths-out crustal thickness variations. Similar processes may be characteristic of the early history of VRMs and volcanic hotspot ridges related to rifting and seafloor spreading proximal to hotspots.
Use of operational amplifiers and discrete off-the-shelf components to teach fuzzy logic controller concepts

This paper presents the realization of Fuzzy Logic Controller concepts using operational amplifiers as a tool to teach students about design and modeling. Design of a FLC is performed because this path provides a good background for the student to experience a complete process approach that goes from verbal description of a problem throughout the final practical implementation, passing through the process of mathematical modeling and the understanding of what a realization of a function means. All the basic blocks consist of operational amplifier circuits that are taught in a first circuit course, just pushing the application a little beyond but still within the reach of the already acquired background.
Kühne, Wilhelm (Willy) Friedrich

German physiologist Wilhelm (Willy) Friedrich Kühne (1837–1900) made fundamental contributions to three main areas: (1) enzymes and digestion, (2) neuromuscular physiology, and (3) the photochemical transduction of rhodopsin in retinal rod cells. During his protracted training, Kühne worked in the laboratories of some of the best European scientists of the day where he gained considerable and varied experience with different experimental methods. Kühne's research was subsequently interrupted by a cholera epidemic and the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, but in 1871, his career was rejuvenated when he was invited to succeed Hermann von Helmholtz as professor of physiology in Heidelberg. The incredible range and depth of his studies are reflected by some of the terms and concepts he introduced and greatly elaborated on: enzyme, trypsin, neuromuscular junction, muscle spindle, rhodopsin, optogram, and optochemical hypothesis (i.e., photochemical transduction).
