Outcome of Open Surgery for Urinary Tract Calculi at Jos University Teaching Hospital

Background : Urinary tract calculi are common affliction of humans. Surgeries to remove stones from the urinary tract are among the oldest forms of open surgery. These surgeries have evolved and minimally invasive procedures are now the choice procedures. Developing countries still depend on open surgeries to treat urinary stone disease due to lack of equipment or high cost. This study aims to review the treatment outcome of open stone surgery in a tertiary health institution in North-Central Nigeria. Materials and methods : A retrospective review of open surgeries for urinary tract calculi done between December 2007 and December 2011 was done and demographics, type of open procedure , stone free rates and complications of surgeries were analysed with Epi-info 3.4.1. Being stone-free was defined as complete extraction of stone which had been preoperatively diagnosed on Intravenous Urogram (IVU) and/or Computed Tomogram Urography (CTU). Results : Forty-seven open procedures for urinary stone disease were done. Age range was 3-81 years with a mean of 40.95±17.39 years. Five (10.6%) Nephrolithotomies, 11(23.4%) Pyelolithotomies, 9(19.1%) Ureterolithotomies, 20(42.6%) Cystolithotomies, 1(2.1%) Nephrectomy and 1(2.1%) Poucholithotomy was done. There was 100% stone-free rate for all the procedures except Pyelolithotomies where stone free rate was 90.9 %. There was a complication rate of 31.9% which included urinary tract infections (UTI), incisional hernia and surgical site infections. Conclusion : For developing countries open stone surgery still remains the main option of treatment. Stone free rates are high following open surgeries, but these surgeries are inundated with morbidities.
DRIVING DIRECTION CHANGING APPARATUS OF BICYCLE HUB

The driving direction changing apparatus includes: a driving portion having a driven sprocket housing movably connected to a hub shaft, a plurality of first and second clutch groups installed at the outer circumference of the leading end of the driven sprocket housing, a first carrier for supporting the first and second clutch pin groups, a clutch housing for driving a hub shell by the expansion force caused by the frictional force of the first clutch pin group, and a first separation preventing member for preventing the clutch housing from being separated; a driving direction changing portion for changing the driving direction by using a second operating lever installed at the driving portion; and a multi-stage transmission portion connected to the driving direction changing portion by a spline, for performing transmission by using the second operating lever.
Detectability of Molecular Signatures on TRAPPIST-1e through Transmission Spectroscopy Simulated for Future Space-based Observatories

Discoveries of terrestrial, Earth-sized exoplanets that lie within the habitable zone (HZ) of their host stars continue to occur at increasing rates. Transit spectroscopy can potentially enable the detection of molecular signatures from such worlds, providing an indication of the presence of an atmosphere and its chemical composition, including gases potentially indicative of a biosphere. Such planets around nearby M-dwarf stars - such as TRAPPIST-1 - provide relatively good signal, high signal/noise, and frequent transits for follow-up spectroscopy. However, even with these advantages, transit spectroscopy of terrestrial planets in the HZ of nearby M-stars will still be a challenge. Herein, we examine the potential for future space observatories to conduct such observations, using a Global Climate Model (GCM), a photochemical model, and a radiative transfer suite to simulate modern-Earth-like atmospheric boundary conditions on TRAPPIST-1e. The detectability of biosignatures on such an atmosphere via transmission spectroscopy is modeled for JWST, LUVOIR, HabEx, and Origins. We show that for any of these observatories, only CO2 would be detectable at the 3 sigma level in transmission spectroscopy, when clouds are included in our simulations. This is because the impacts of clouds on scale height strongly limits the detectability of molecules in the atmosphere. Synergies between space- and ground-based spectroscopy may be essential in order to overcome these difficulties.
Corresponding influences of top-down control on task switching and long-term memory

Three experiments investigated the impact of cognitive control on current performance and later memory in task switching. Participants first switched between object and word classification tasks, performed on picture–word stimuli that each appeared only once, then were tested for their recognition memory of these items. Each experiment replicated the recent finding that task switching results in reduced selectivity in later memory for task-relevant over task-irrelevant items. Top-down control was manipulated through varying the time available for advance task preparation (Experiment 1), the freedom of choice over which task to perform (Experiment 2), and the availability of reward incentives (Experiment 3). For each manipulation, more effective top-down control during task switching was associated with increased selectivity in memory for task-relevant information. These findings shed new light on the role of cognitive control in long-term memory encoding, in particular supporting an interactive model in which long-term memory reflects the enduring traces of perceptual and cognitive processes that operate under the selective influence of top-down control.
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Enhanced Cleaning to Reduce Contamination of Healthcare Worker Gowns and Gloves with Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria

OBJECTIVE. To determine whether enhanced daily cleaning would reduce contamination of healthcare worker (HCW) gowns and gloves with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB). DESIGN. A cluster-randomized controlled trial. SETTING. Four intensive care units (ICUs) in an urban tertiary care hospital. PARTICIPANTs. ICU rooms occupied by patients colonized with MRSA or MDRAB. INTERVENTION. Extra enhanced daily cleaning of ICU room surfaces frequently touched by HCWs. RESULTS. A total of 4,444 cultures were collected from 132 rooms over 10 months. Using fluorescent dot markers at 2,199 surfaces, we found that 26% of surfaces in control rooms were cleaned and that 100% of surfaces in experimental rooms were cleaned (P < .001). The mean proportion of contaminated HCW gowns and gloves following routine care provision and before leaving the rooms of patients with MDRAB was 16% among control rooms and 12% among experimental rooms (relative risk, 0.77 [95% confidence interval, 0.28-2.11]; P = .23). For MRSA, the mean proportions were 22% and 19%, respectively (relative risk, 0.89 [95% confidence interval, 0.50-1.53]; P = .16). DISCUSSION. Intense enhanced daily cleaning of ICU rooms occupied by patients colonized with MRSA or MDRAB was associated with a nonsignificant reduction in contamination of HCW gowns and gloves after routine patient care activities. Further research is needed to determine whether intense environmental cleaning will lead to significant reductions and fewer infections.
Real proven solutions to enable active demand and distributed generation flexible integration, through a fully controllable low voltage and medium voltage distribution grid

Unlike the control and observability put in service in HV/MV, LV networks are still being substantially managed as usual: no visibility of power and voltage or grid components status, poor knowledge of connectivity, manual operation of switches or few tools for worker support. The LV grid characteristics (radial topology, exposition to local disturbances, local accumulation of distributed generation, technical and no-technical loses, aging heterogeneous, etc.) limit the construction and refurbish of LV electric infrastructure and the integration on it of grid remote monitoring and operation and automation resources, bringing to difficulties in the implementation of the LV Smart Grid and the integration of Distributed Generation Resources and Active Demand Management (ADM). 
Smart metering deployment Mandates offer an opportunity to maximize the gains derived from the obliged functions to be deployed related to smart metering, developing and integrating additional innovative grid and ICT infrastructure, functions, services and tools improving grid operation performance and quality and paving the way for benefits and business opportunities for the involved actors (DSOs, customers, retailers and ESCOs).
The project aims to develop, deploy and demonstrate innovative solutions (grid systems, functions, services and tools) for advanced Operation and Exploitation of LV/MV networks in a fully smart grid environment improving the capacity of that networks as enablers for Distributed Generation, ADM, Customer empowering and business opportunities.
The project proposes 4 real pilots in Portugal, Poland, Spain and Sweden covering: Smart grid monitoring and operation, advanced grid maintenance, DER and ADM integration and active Consumer awareness and participation with cost efficiency. Also proposes specific WPs to maximize the socioeconomic impact of results, especially for their market uptake, business opportunities triggering and society awareness on the smart grid benefits
Changes in the intestinal bacterial community during the growth of white shrimp,<i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i>

AbstractIn this study, we documented the changes in theintestinal bacterial community at four stages inLitopenaeus vannamei: 14 days postlarvae (L14)and 1-, 2- and 3-month old juveniles (J1, J2, J3),using 454 pyrosequencing techniques. The intesti-nal bacterial community was dominated by threebacterial phyla, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes andActinobacteria at all stages. However, the relativeabundance and bacterial lineages varied at thefamily level. The intestinal bacterial community ofL14 and J1 was similar, with dominant membersbelonging to the Comamonadaceae of Betaproteo-bacteria. Conversely, bacterial members afﬁliatedto Flavobacteriaceae of Bacteroidetes were domi-nant in J2 and Vibrionaceae of Gammaproteobac-teria was dominant in J3. The abundance ofMicrobacteriaceae of Actinobacteria also ﬂuctuatedduring the four stages. Bacterial members ofFlavobacteriaceae and Rhodobacteraceae (Alpha-proteobacteria) were present through all growthstages, and likely form the intestinal core microbi-ome of L. vannamei. However, they varied at theoperational taxonomic unit (OTU) level throughthe growth stages. The intestinal bacterial com-munity of pond-rearing shrimp included the threemain bacterial phyla identiﬁed above, and anadditional group, Mycoplasmataceae of Mollicutes.Our results demonstrate that the intestinal bacte-rial community of L. vannamei was highlydynamic during the growth stages. Bacterial mem-bers belonging to Commamonadaceae dominatedin the earlier growth stage of shrimp, possiblyinﬂuenced by feeding with Artemia nauplii, butthere was a shift to Flavobacteriaceae in the midand Vibrionaceae in the late growth stages.Keywords: Litopenaeus vannamei, intestinalbacterial community, growth stages, 454pyrosequencingIntroductionLitopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931), commonlyknown as white shrimp, is an economically impor-tant marine species that is widely cultured in thecoastal areas of the Paciﬁc Ocean, particularly inEcuador, Mexico, Peru, and China. The expansionof the white shrimp culture industry has beenfacilitated by development of a high-density cul-ture system that spans the period from larval rear-ing (ca. 10 million larvae/40 m
New directions in theoretical neutrino physics

Thanks to tremendous advances in terrestrial, astrophysical and cosmological experiments, neutrino physics has again become one of the driving forces of progress in astroparticle physics. The proposed project nuDirections provides the indispensable theoretical counterpart to the rapid experimental developments. Our goal is to investigate from a theoretical point of view a multitude of unexplored phenomena within and beyond the Standard Model of particle physics that are now becoming experimentally accessible in new neutrino experiments. The three main pillars of the project are: (1) Light sterile neutrinos. With hypothetical eV-scale sterile neutrinos coming under intense scrutiny by new experiments, sophisticated global fits will remain a linchpin for the theoretical interpretation of experimental data. We plan to carry out these fits using upgrades of our world-leading numerical codes, and to use our results as guidelines for exploring new theoretical models featuring sterile neutrinos as part of a larger ""hidden sector"" of particle physics. This includes in particular the unique phenomenology of self-interacting sterile neutrinos. (2) Decoherence effects in dense neutrino gases. As neutrinos propagate, coherence between different mass eigenstates is eventually lost due to their different group velocities. We will demonstrate that decoherence can completely modify neutrino oscillations in dense environments such as supernovae or the early Universe. Mapping the rich phenomenology of decoherence effects in neutrino oscillations thus has the potential to play a game-changing role in the physics of supernova neutrinos. (3) Neutrinos and dark matter. We plan to develop a new mechanism for the production of sterile neutrino dark matter in the early Universe and to play a leading role in the theory and phenomenology of neutrino signals from dark matter annihilation or decay.

Surface module approach for rapid testing in flight test instrumentation

For the aerodynamic characterization of the RACER IADP, an aerodynamic flight test instrumentation that fulfills the special requirements is demanded. In this project, an innovative flight test instrumentation approach will be realized with the development of a fully integrated instrumentation module technology.
The instrumentation modules will be thin, lightweight, and of high-strength and temperature resistance in a surface-conformal and aerodynamic shape and will be fabricated from compound materials and metals by additive manufacturing. Different sensors and probes, such as pressure ports, Kiel probes or multi-hole probes, will be integrated into these modules for aerodynamic characterization. For data acquisition, miniaturized distributed acquisition nodes (DAN) (pressure and temperature scanners, equipped with an Ethernet interface) will be distributed. These elements and all additional internal channels, wiring, and connectors will be integrated into the modules without disturbing the aerodynamic design.
These modules can be calibrated offsite and installed nonintrusively by reversible bonding on a protection layer and positive locking with low effort. After mounting, only power and data connection will need to be established, presenting a ‘plug&play’ installation scheme. The module approach in combination with an ethernet interface ensures sustainability and compatibility with other flight test instrumentation (FTI) systems. This is crucial to ensure synchronization with the existing flight test instrumentation of the topic manager.

Development and Experimental Investigation of a High Speed Grinding Spindle Equipped with Fully-Ceramic Bearings and Ceramic Shaft

Trend of the high-speed and high efficiency machining has pushed the continuous demand of higher spindle speed and power for the machining center application. However, Conventional steel spindles are not appropriate for high speed operation because of their high rotational inertia and low damping ratio. Moreover, heat generation and dynamic loading caused by high speed rotation have been obstacles for increasing the speed limit in many conventional steel spindles applications. Apart from optimizing lubrication, the application of new materials is an interesting alternative to increase the boundary speed and life-span of roller bearings for machine-tool spindles. In this study, a high speed grinding motorized spindle equipped with hot isostatically pressed silicon nitride (HIPSN) fully-ceramic ball bearings without inner rings and yttria partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) ceramic spindle shaft was designed for higher speed, rigidity, precision and longer operating life. Furthermore, the characteristics of ceramic motorized spindle, such as temperature increase, vibration, power, rigidity, noise and so on, were investigated by the experimentation. The results show that the ceramic motorized spindles have good behaviors under low load, high speed grinding conditions.
Women, politics and media framing (wpmf) in the uk and in israel – tackling western democracies' gender inequality in politics

The goal of this project is to systematically analyse gender inequality in politics in a comparative perspective, as portrayed in the mainstream media, and develop operative actions to reduce such inequality in politics in the European context. This corresponds to H2020 Work Programme for 2016-2017 of reversing inequalities in Europe, and more specifically to the EU Strategic Engagement for Gender Equality 2016-2019.
Applying the theoretical framework of developmental theory, this study examines whether changes occurring in the status of women in the UK and in Israel, as part of the structural and cultural transformations that this theory points to, seep into the political discourse surrounding women and politics over time. We use the print media to analyse relevant frames on women and politics during the study period (1979-2016 in the UK and 1969-2009 in Israel - in which women were realistic candidates/elected for premiership). In addition, we utilize a quantitative content analysis of the news and commentaries in newspapers to locate interpretive references to women and politics. A sub-set of these articles is used for an in-depth qualitative analysis to draw out the key themes surround the framing of women and politics.  
An important contribution of the research lies in the theoretical connection between the framing of women and politics to developmental theory's structural and cultural conditions. That is because the bulk of studies on framing gender and politics are descriptive and lack an empirically supported theoretical explanation of the changes in the framing of these issues. 
The findings of this research will help raising social, political and media awareness to the status of women and to women's issues in Europe, and encourage more women to take part in politics in Europe and worldwide by tackling stereotypical framing of women and politics issues and by suggesting operative steps to face backlashes to political gender equality in Western democracies.
