Authors: Bilcati Géssica Katalyne , Da Costa Marienne Do Rocio de Mello Maron , Bonatto Franciele , Lengowski Elaine Cristina
Published: December 2019

A avaliação do desempenho térmico de paredes de uma edificação é de suma importância, uma vez que, as condições de conforto térmico refletem diretamente na qualidade de moradia dos usuários. Deste modo, o objetivo deste trabalho é desenvolver uma revisão sistemática da literatura para analisar através de indicadores bibliométricos oportunidades de pesquisas no campo de desempenho térmico e, explorar os fatores, técnicas e materiais utilizados e que interferem na avaliação do conforto térmico na construção civil. Dessa forma, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura, a nível internacional, dos últimos 10 anos, utilizando a metodologia MethodiOrdinatio. Com base no estudo dos artigos foi concluído que o estudo de radiação térmica em argamassas de revestimento teve um crescimento significativo no ano de 2017. A radiação térmica geralmente é negligenciada nos cálculos de desempenho térmico, não sendo considerada nas normas de muitos países. O método da câmera de termografia por infravermelho como ferramenta para análise do desempenho térmico, tem sido amplamente utilizado em análises qualitativas em elementos de construção. No entanto, para estudos quantitativos, os ensaios por termografia por infravermelho ainda estão em fase de investigação.
Apomorphine therapy: alternative initiation for patients with complex Parkinson's disease presentation
Authors: Mills Jane
Published: December 2019

The apomorphine challenge test can be a distressing experience for some patients and, if they are not experienced, a discouraging option for some healthcare professionals (HCPs). The test is repeated exposure to bolus-dose injection of the medication to assess response and patient-specific dose before embarking on apomorphine therapy. Recent changes in prescribing of the anti-emetic domperidone (limited use because of QT prolongation), a drug which is a prerequisite for most patients embarking on therapy, has also added a possible complication. While recognising the value of the apomorphine challenge test, the author suggests an alternative approach of establishing apomorphine by subcutaneous infusion pump (SCAI) without the challenge test. This approach makes it more ‘user friendly’ for people with complex Parkinson's disease (PwPd) and their HCPs, and can eliminate the need for preloading with domperidone or other anti-emetic (if one is available in the country of practice). It is a viable option in acute situations, such as nil by mouth, surgery and oral dopamine agonist withdrawal, because of the associated harmful impulsive behaviour. Starting immediately with SCAI without the challenge test has proven both helpful and beneficial in clinical practice, especially in PwPd who have potential to abuse the intermittent injection, have complicated regimens and are vulnerable to drug-induced adverse effects. Some patients only need nocturnal infusions; injections during the night are difficult to administer and miss the objective of better sleep. Facilitating the process of initiation with the SCAI could improve uptake of this underused treatment through easier use and positive experience, and overcome the need for short- and longer-term domperidone use.

When dementia and delirium come together
Authors: Moore Angela , Dening Karen Harrison
Published: December 2019

Delirium is a multifactorial syndrome that, when superimposed on dementia, can lead to twice the risk of being admitted to acute care than for a person who is cognitively intact. Early detection of delirium can be a challenge, especially when there is an existing diagnosis of dementia. Despite the wealth of literature, there continues to be a widespread lack of knowledge about delirium, and under-detection in all types of health and social care settings. This lack of recognition may lead to poor health outcomes and increased mortality. There is a need for effective training for staff working in community settings, and effective communication between health and social care staff and families who are affected by delirium. Furthermore, delirium superimposed on dementia is common, and may cause distress for patients, caregivers and staff. This article will explore some of the common factors when delirium is comorbid with dementia.

Diagnosis of canine hyperadrenocorticism
Authors: Knight Sarah , Mooney Carmel T , Robert Shiel
Published: December 2019

Although hyperadrenocorticism is a relatively common disease in dogs, diagnosis can be challenging due to earlier recognition of affected dogs and lack of a single test with both high sensitivity and high specificity. This review summarises the clinical and clinicopathological features of this disease, as well as the tests used to confirm a diagnosis and to differentiate between pituitary- and adrenal-dependent causes. Practical methods of maximising the clinician's ability to confirm a diagnosis in suspect cases are highlighted.

Do Muslim Americans Support Racial Profiling at Airports?
Authors: Abualnaja Nader , Nayer Gautam
Published: December 2019

Muslim Americans have been treated with prejudice, discrimination and bias in multiple incidents after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 (9/11). While all of the 9/11 terrorists were identified as Muslims, collateral damage in the aftermath resulted in innocent and wholly blameless Muslim Americans being swept up in the prejudicial discriminatory profiling incidents at airports. Muslim Americans have been collectively accused of the 9/11 attacks that were orchestrated by individuals who were fanatical Muslims; very few of whom would be considered in that category. Since 9/11, as the nation has mourned the loss of so many Americans in the attack, they have been joined by the thoughts and prayers from the vast majority of Muslim Americans who have suffered equally, if not more so. There were Muslims who lost their lives in the attack on the Twin Towers, yet the Muslim American community has been collectively blamed as a co-conspirator for the terrorist attack. Our research examines the city of Houston's Muslim American community's opinions regarding the support for racial profiling at airports after 9/11. Data were gathered through surveys administered at local mosques in the city. Surprisingly, there was robust support for racial profiling at airports by most Muslim Americans we surveyed.
Islamophobia, Racism and the Vilification of the Muslim Diaspora
Authors: Acim Rachid
Published: December 2019

Is Islamophobia a new phenomenon? Are Islam and the Judeo-Christian West still hateful of and hostile toward each other? Do Muslim women with veils and headscarves constitute a threat to the West's secular and liberal values? What has fueled the sudden rhetoric of Islamophobia in the United States of America and Europe? How does Anglophone print and digital media report pressures, prejudices and discriminatory practices against male and female students? How do Western media cover the social exclusion of the Muslim diaspora? These questions need a thoughtful coverage and concentration in academia. It is believed that most of the grievous and painful stories experienced, for example, by Muslim immigrants— be they legal or illegal, asylum seekers, refugees, or whatsoever, still do not find a room in scholastic research. This paper utilizes the narrative research method to study and probe into the problem of Islamophobia, the vilification of and racism against Muslims in the United States of America and Europe. The usage of human stories, people's personal experiences and narrative accounts or recounts of Islamophobic incidents (real or imagined) as the basis of this inquiry is particularly suitable for research because it can help understand the status quo of Muslim diaspora in the United States of America and Europe. Narrative data are retrieved from five major US-news publications and press elite (e.g.,Foreign Policy, The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA TodayandChicago Tribune). The analysis of these data can be used to improve the situation of Muslim diaspora and their interaction with non-Muslims all over the world. The mediums cited above have been chosen because they are the prime source of information for intellectuals and policy-makers. Decidedly, they construct and build up ample epistemologies on Islamophobia and other epiphenomena of racism.
Scientistic Anti-Islamism: The Exploitation of Science and Cognates in Anti-Islamic Narratives
Authors: Buhari Omer Kemal
Published: December 2019

This is a historical-philosophical exploration of “scientistic anti-Islamism,” which denotes the justification and expression of anti-Islamic contents through the exploitation of the concept of science. I first discuss, dissect, and disprove the underlying premise that Islam would be incompatible with science and cognates. Qur'anic anchoring of reason, the harmony of faith and knowledge in Islam, the civilizational-scientific influence of Islam to the West are the three major domains of my objections. Then, I contextualize some related core concepts that are knowledge, rationality, science and scientism to elucidate the issue. After a critical reading of Renan as a probable archetype of scientistic anti-Islamists, I introduce the promotors of scientistic anti-Islamism in the three distinct areas of methodology, worldview and politics. It emerges that scientistic anti-Islamism's main patrons are erroneous induction, rivalry of orthodoxies and political hegemony. Finally, I arrive at a definition of the basic characteristics of “scientistic anti-Islamism.”
From Virtual Internment to Actual Liberation: The Epistemic and Ontic Resistance of US Muslims to the Ideology of (Counter)terrorism–Islamophobia/Islamophilia
Authors: Beshara Robert K.
Published: December 2019

This paper draws from my radical qualitative research on the link between Islamophobia/Islamophilia and (counter)terrorism in the US. For my book, Decolonial Psychoanalysis, I interviewed 19 US Muslims asking them about not only their experiences with Islamophobia but also, and more significantly, how they resist it. My conclusion, based on the analysis, is that US Muslims resist Islamophobia in at least two distinct ways: epistemically and ontically. These forms of resistance constitute what I call “actual liberation”.
There Is No Kurdish Art
Authors: Cockrell-Abdullah Autumn
Published: December 2019

This essay considers the powerful practice of art in Iraqi Kurdistan as it balances practices and nationalities, values and identities to create an aesthetic that is uniquely Kurdish in its expression. This examination of contemporary Kurdish art begins by considering the challenges to writing about the visual arts in Kurdistan and discusses some of the indigenous projects that have worked to create an arts infrastructure to preserve and promote the arts in the city of Sulaimani. While reflecting on Kurdish legacies within Iraq, this essay further interrogates the contemporary products of a combined heritage and questions what pieces of this historical legacy will be brought forward into the future of Kurdistan.
Adaptive fiber-ring lasers based on an optical fiber Fabry–Perot cavity for high-frequency dynamic strain sensing
Authors: Wei Heming , Krishnaswamy Sridhar
Published: December 2019

A fiber-optic Fabry–Perot (FP) interferometer integrated with an adaptive fiber-ring laser is configured as a switchable multi-wavelength fiber laser that can be utilized for ultrasound detection. Because the FP sensor acts as a wavelength filter and a reflector of the fiber-ring laser, the reflective spectrum of the FP sensor changes due to static/dynamic strains, and the wavelength of the laser output shifts accordingly, which is subsequently converted into a corresponding phase shift and demodulated by an unbalanced interferometer. By carefully controlling the polarization of the system, the lasing outputs with a side-mode suppression ratio higher than 30 dB can be obtained, and the lasing linewidth is much narrower than that of the spectrum of the FP sensor. The experiments show that the proposed sensing system has high sensitivity for ultrasound detection and can be adaptive to the low-frequency drifts due to environmental noise.
Precision heterodyne oxygen-corrected spectrometry: vertical profiling of water and carbon dioxide in the troposphere and lower stratosphere
Authors: Bomse David S. , Tso Jared E. , Flores Monica M. , Miller J. Houston
Published: December 2019

We describe the development of a near-infrared laser heterodyne radiometer: the precision heterodyne oxygen-corrected spectrometer (PHOCS). The prototype instrument is equipped with two heterodyne receivers for oxygen and water (measured near 1278 nanometers) and carbon dioxide (near 1572 nanometers) concentration profiles, respectively. The latter may be substituted by a heterodyne receiver module equipped with a laser to monitor atmospheric methane near 1651 nanometers. Oxygen measurements are intended to provide dry gas corrections and—more importantly—determine accurate temperature and pressure profiles that, in turn, improve the precision of theCO2andH2Ocolumn retrievals. Vertical profiling is made feasible by interrogating the very low-noise absorption lines shapes collected at≈0.0067cm−1resolution. PHOCS complements the results from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2), Active Sensing ofCO2Emissions over Nights, Days, and Seasons (ASCENDS), and ground-based Fourier transform spectrometers. In this paper, we describe the development of the instrument by Mesa Photonics and present the results of initial tests in the vicinity of  Washington, DC.

Miniaturized multimodal multiphoton microscope for simultaneous two-photon and three-photon imaging with a dual-wavelength Er-doped fiber laser
Authors: Huang Lin , Zhou Xin , Liu Qihao , MacAulay Calum E. , Tang Shuo
Published: December 2019

A multimodal multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is developed to acquire both two-photon microscopy (2PM) and three-photon microscopy (3PM) signals. A dual-wavelength Er-doped fiber laser is used as the light source, which provides the fundamental pulse at 1580 nm to excite third harmonic generation (THG) and the frequency-doubled pulse at 790 nm to excite intrinsic two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) and second harmonic generation (SHG). Due to their different contrast mechanisms, the TPEF, SHG, and THG images can acquire complementary information about tissues, including cells, collagen fibers, lipids, and interfaces, all label-free. The compact MPM imaging probe is developed using miniature objective lens and a micro-electro-mechanical scanner. Furthermore, the femtosecond laser pulses are delivered by a single mode fiber and the signals are collected by a multimode fiber, which makes the miniaturized MPM directly fiber-coupled, compact, and portable. Design considerations on using the dual excitation wavelengths are discussed. Multimodal and label-free imaging by TPEF, SHG, and THG are demonstrated on biological samples. The miniaturized multimodal MPM is shown to have great potential for label-free imaging of thick and live tissues.
Effect of surface roughness of optical waveguide on imaging quality and a formula of RSE tolerance and incident angle
Authors: Kuang Ying , Liu Juan , Shi Xueliang
Published: December 2019

The optical waveguide is a lightweight and portable scheme for augmented reality near-eye display devices. However, the surface roughness of the waveguide affects its imaging performance, which has not been studied. In this work, we investigate the light scattering caused by the root-mean-square roughness of the waveguide surface and present two methods to numerically analyze the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the display system. Here, we consider the effects of different surface roughness, incident angle, and incident wavelength on the scattering distribution when other conditions are constant. For a simplified optical waveguide display system, the MTF degradation and the variation of the tolerance is calculated. And when the MTF (@ 40 cycles/mm) is required to be 0.3 and the incident angles of the total reflection surface are 45°, 55°, 65° and 75°, the random surface error (RSE) tolerances are 0.207λ0, 0.255λ0, 0.347λ0 and 0.566λ0 (λ0=0.5461µm), respectively. We find a formula descripting the relationship between RSE tolerance and incident angle. If the RSE tolerance exceeds the value of the formula at an angle, the imaging quality of the system will drop significantly. The formula can predict tolerances and incident angles and provide basic tool for imaging quality analysis and manufacturing for optical waveguide AR/VR display systems.
Effects of nitrogen/oxygen on the electrical and optical properties and microstructure of triple layer AZO/Ag/AZO thin films
Authors: Li Ying-Tsung , Han Chang Fu , Lin Jen-Fin
Published: December 2019

Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO)/Ag/aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AAA) specimens are prepared by varying O2 and N2 flow rates during the AZO deposition to investigate the gas effects on surface morphology, microstructure, conductivity type and optical and electrical properties. The AZO specimens are found to have decreases in grain size and RMS surface roughness (SRq), and an increase in compressive residual stress when the N2 flow rate increases higher than 2.5 sccm. The addition of O2 can contribute a similar tendency to grain size, SRq and residual stress; the grain size and SRq are always comparatively smaller, while the residual stress is higher than that prepared with N2. The grain size and SRq are obtained to be proportional to the AZO thickness, whereas they are inversely proportional to the compressive residual stress of AZO. Specimen D prepared with (N2: 0, O2: 2.5) sccm and having 60-nm AZO thickness possesses the strongest anti-reflection effect of the AAA structure, and therefore impedes the reflection from the Ag interlayer significantly. P-type conductivity is achieved by introducing the N2 into the AZO layers and (N2: 15, O2: 0) sccm is used to achieved the highest carrier concentration (CC) and mobility (Mb), and thus the lowest resistivity (R) of all specimens in this study. Increasing the O2 flow rate leads to decreases in Mb and CC, but can obtain the highest average transmittance (

T

¯

) as (N2: 0, O2: 2.5) sccm is applied. The O2 flow rate becomes the dominant factor for the electrical and optical properties and microstructure as AZO films are deposited in the N2 and O2 mixed atmosphere. (N2: 15, O2: 0) sccm is used to achieve the highest CC and the lowest R of the oxide/metal/oxide specimens reported in the literatures.
Effects of coupling and phase imperfections in programmable photonic hexagonal waveguide meshes
Authors: Zand Iman , Bogaerts Wim
Published: December 2019

We present a study of the effect of imperfections on the transmission and crosstalk in programmable photonic meshes with feedback loops consisting of tunable couplers and phase shifters. The many elements in such a mesh can generate a multitude of parasitic paths when the couplers and phase shifters deviate even slightly from their nominal value. Performing Monte Carlo simulations, we show that small stochastic imperfections in the phase and coupling (

<
1.0
%

) can introduce unwanted interferences and resonances and significantly deteriorate the frequency response of the circuit. We also demonstrate that, in the presence of imperfections, the programming strategy of the unused couplers can reduce effects of such parasitics.
Hybrid waveguide scheme for silicon-based quantum photonic circuits with quantum light sources
Authors: Yu Lingjie , Yuan Chenzhi , Qi Renduo , Huang Yidong , Zhang Wei
Published: December 2019

We propose a hybrid silicon waveguide scheme to avoid the impact of noise photons induced by pump lights in application scenarios of quantum photonic circuits with quantum light sources. The scheme is composed of strip waveguide and shallow-ridge waveguide structures. It utilizes the difference of biphoton spectra generated by spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) in these two waveguides. By proper pumping setting and signal/idler wavelength selection, the generation of desired photon pairs is confined in the strip waveguide. The impact of noise photons generated by SFWM in the shallow-ridge waveguide can be avoided. Hence, the shallow-ridge waveguide could be used to realize various linear operation devices for pump light and quantum state manipulations. The feasibility of this scheme is verified by theoretical analysis and a primary experiment. Two applications are proposed and analyzed, showing its great potential in silicon-based quantum photonic circuits.

Published: December 2019

We developed adjustable and movable droplet microlenses consisting of a liquid with a high refractive index. The microlenses were prepared via ultrasonic shaking in deionized water, and the diameter of the microlenses ranged from 1 to 50 μm. By stretching the microlenses, the focal length can be adjusted from 13 to 25 μm. With the assistance of an optical tweezer, controllable assembly and movement of microlens arrays were also realized. The results showed that an imaging system combined with droplet microlenses could image 80 nm beads under white light illumination. Using the droplet microlenses, fluorescence emission at 550 nm from CdSe@ZnS quantum dots was efficiently excited and collected. Moreover, Raman scattering signals from a silicon wafer were enhanced by

Published: December 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es evaluar el estado del arte de la aplicación del crowdsourcing a la arquitectura de mediana escala y detectar posibles nuevos modelos de aplicaciones. Para ello, primero, se establecerá un marco teórico sobre el crowdsourcing donde se tratará cuáles fueron los fenómenos de los que nació (sus raíces) y la definición del término. Estos recursos teóricos servirán para detectar y evaluar los casos de aplicación de crowdsourcing a la arquitectura.A continuación, se tratará el estado actual de aplicación del crowdsourcing a la arquitectura. El crowdsourcing ha sido ampliamente utilizado para proyectos de gran escala (urbana y territorial) como medio para realizar cartografías colaborativas de todo tipo. Sin embargo, en la escala mediana, este modelo de colaboración masiva apenas se ha aplicado. Los únicos casos de aplicación del crowdsourcing al proyecto de arquitectura, implementados públicamente, han sido Arcbazar y Pillar. Ambas son plataformas de concursos donde se implementan procesos de crowdsourcing selectivo.Para encontrar nuevos modelos alternativos, se buscarán, casos de arquitectura que se encuentran vinculados a las raíces el crowdsourcing. Tras realizar una lista de casos, estos se evaluarán según la definición del término de Estellés y González para determinar su cercanía al crowdsourcing. Los casos más cercanos al crowdsourcing se analizarán para estudiar las posibles nuevas vías de aplicación.Finalmente se concluye con la detección de dos posibles modelos alternativos al modelo de concurso: el modelo para la creación de colecciones y el modelo para el desarrollo de sistemas.
NEW RULES ON BRAZIL / US COOPERATION, BETWEEN THE FRUSTRATED PRODUCTION OF RENEWABLE FUELS AND THE CHALLENGES OF THE BIO-ECONOMY1 (2006-2018)
Authors: Yang Antonio , Almeida Wilson
Published: December 2019

The industry of the 21st Century will be totally different from the one we experienced in the 19th and 20th centuries. It will be technology-intensive and energy-wise clean. The industry of the 21st century should be biodegradable and sustainable. Instead of transforming only products and raw materials it must transform the human beings. Brazilian agriculture with its technological advances and sophisticated production may be an important partner of the United States to create a new biological industry for the 21st Century. Brazil is the world’s leading producer of cotton, orange juice, chicken, beef, sugar, ethanol, biodiesel, soy, corn, among others. Brazil has the latest technology to genetically modify plants and animals. The United States is the world’s largest producer of many of the state-of-the-art technology products. Cooperation between the two countries in terms of genetic improvement of plants and animals has lasted for more than 40 years. Now, the next challenge is to invent a new industry and a new economy that can face the challenges ahead. These are some of the key gates to the bioeconomy.

A FLORESTA LABIRÍNTICA: UMA ANÁLISE DA “FLORESTA DAS TREVAS” NA OBRA O HOBBIT DE J.R.R.TOLKIEN
Authors: Soncini Gabriela
Published: December 2019

Um labirinto representa um estado do ser que está perdido. A situação labiríntica se apresenta não somente em labirintos em forma, com suas curvas, caminhos emaranhados e com sua difícil travessia para a chegada ao centro ou ao fim. Os labirintos podem se apresentar de diversas formas ao viajante que está em busca de algo, ou seja, daqueles com o propósito de chegar a determinado lugar no fim de sua jornada. Neste sentido, este artigo pretende realizar uma análise da passagem pela “Floresta das Trevas”, um dos caminhos atravessados na aventura contada na obra O Hobbit (1937) do escritor J.R.R.Tolkien. Ao passarem por essa floresta misteriosa, os personagens em jornada irão se deparar com sensações e sentimentos de um estado labiríntico, de perda, esquecimento, e de extrema necessidade de se chegar ao fim dessa floresta.
O ESPAÇO DA CIDADE COMO EXPRESSÃO DO ABANDONO NA OBRA DE FRANCISCO ESPINHARA

Published: December 2019

Neste artigo analisa-se de que forma se constrói o estilo pessimista de Francisco Espinhara no que diz respeito às relações que sua linguagem estabelece com o mundo contemporâneo das cidades. Trata-se aqui de um estudo que pretende investigar o abandono e o espaço como recortes e marcas de uma obra cuja expressão advém da diluição do homem em suas infinitas possibilidades de solidão e isolamento frente à concretude impassível do espaço em que se insere. Acrescente-se a isso que esta obra foi escrita na efervescência do Movimento dos Escritores Independentes de Pernambuco, que em sua produção literária se identifica com o sentimento da urbe em sua intimidade. O trabalho, de cunho bibliográfico, toma como princípios as ideias de autores que trazem a marca do pessimismo e do niilismo enquanto elementos de suporte da linguagem poética do autor, entre eles, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche e Arthur Schopenhauer e o teórico da lírica moderna Hugo Friedrich. Investiga-se de forma o autor se volta para uma obsessão incidente em sua própria existência na busca por algo que possa amparar sua solidão e sua angústia, vinculando-se a temas voltados para a poesia lírica do final do século XIX e início do século XX. Neste sentido, inserem-se o olhar de Mikhail Bakhtin e Gaston Bacherlard, enquanto aportes que sustentam parte das nossas reflexões no que diz respeito às vozes que encontramos no sujeito e suas relações com o espaço com o qual se relaciona.
EXPERIÊNCIAS LABIRÍNTICAS EM A GERAÇÃO DA UTOPIA, DE PEPETELA
Authors: Silva de Oliveira Mariana
Published: December 2019

Imagem recorrente nas metaficções contemporâneas, o labirinto alegoriza a própria experiência pós-moderna. As características particulares desta estrutura — fragmentação, descontinuidade, multiplicidade e infinitude — e as sensações associadas à experiência labiríntica — desorientação, incerteza, angústia, ambiguidade — mantêm uma relação estreita com o conceito de metaficção. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar imagens labirínticas presentes no romance A geração da utopia, do escritor angolano Pepetela. Considerando que o labirinto guarda uma ambiguidade intrínseca, representada tanto na estrutura física quanto no campo simbólico, este trabalho também pretende expor uma reflexão sobre a experiência labiríntica como alegoria da metaficção. Serão articuladas teorias sobre metaficção e ficção desenvolvidas por Linda Hutcheon e Vilém Flusser, para discorrer sobre alguns aspectos da literatura metaficcional identificados no romance, como a intertextualidade e a multiplicidade de “verdades”.

Background

Prediction of the properties of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) from a compound is essential, especially for modified novel compounds. Previous research has successfully designed several modified compounds of 5-O-benzoyl derivatives from pinostrobin, a flavanone that has cytotoxic activity. This study aims to describe the properties of ADMET from the 5-O-benzoylpinostrobin derivative.

Methods

Prediction of the properties of ADMET was carried out using three web servers consisting of SwissADME, pkCSM, and ProTox-II. The observed parameters are divided into ADMET parameters.

Results

In general, absorption parameters indicate that the 5-O-benzoylpinostrobin derivative has lower water solubility than the parent pinostrobin. Distribution parameters show mixed results for distribution through the blood-brain barrier. Metabolism parameters showed different results with generally inhibitory activity shown in CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4. The excretion parameters showed a higher total clearance than pinostrobin except in the trifluoromethyl derivative. The toxicity parameters showed both pinostrobin and the 5-O-benzoylpinostrobin derivatives, including the class IV toxicity category with the lowest LD50 value indicated by the nitro derivative of 1500, with the possible target of the androgen receptor and prostaglandin G/H synthase 1.

Conclusions

Overall, the 5-O-benzoylpinostrobin derivative has the predicted ADMET profile that is relatively similar to pinostrobin, with the most noticeable difference being shown in the absorption parameters where all 5-O-benzoylpinostrobin derivatives have lower water solubility than pinostrobin.
Utilization of 60/70 penetration grade asphalt on ballast structures with the variation of percentage and the number of pouring layers
Authors: Setiawan Dian M.
Published: December 2019

Railroad ballast structure layer may experience a decline in mechanical and geometrical performance due to heavy train and environmental loads. In order to improve the quality of ballast structure, the addition of asphalt to ballast layer can be considered as a solution. Therefore, this research utilizes 60/70 penetration grade asphalt for ballast layer binding and stabilization. The objective of this study was to evaluate and analyze the mechanical behavior of clean-ballast and fouled-ballast layers with 2% and 4% penetration grade 60/70 asphalt poured in one (ballast surface layer) and three ballast surface layers. Compressive strength test was performed to analyze the weight of specimen, vertical deformation, and ballast material abrasion. The most prominent finding to emerge from this research was that the use of 60/70 penetration grade asphalt on ballast surface layer is crucial in retaining the load applied by UTM, in order to produce preferable load distribution to the entire ballast structure. It is found that, the higher the 60/70 penetration grade asphalt proportion and the more layers poured with asphalt, the stronger asphalt in reducing ballast abrasion percentage.
The utility of cranial ultrasound as a screening tool for neonatal ECMO

Published: December 2019

Background

Neurologic complications including hemorrhage, ischemia, and infarction are often identified in neonates undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and may contribute to the high morbidity observed in ECMO survivors. Screening for intracranial complications is reliant on bedside transcranial ultrasound (CUS) prior to and during ECMO therapy, and advanced imaging [i.e. computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)] is recommended after completion of ECMO support. The goal of this study is to describe the correlation of intracranial complications identified on CUS during ECMO and MRI after completion of ECMO.

Methods

Fifty-five neonates underwent ECMO support at the Children’s Hospital of Georgia at Augusta University from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2017. Forty-four (80%) had a brain MRI performed prior to transfer or discharge. Ultrasound studies were reviewed by a single blinded pediatric radiologist and MRIs were reviewed by a single blinded neuro-radiologist.

Results

Of the 44 neonates with post-ECMO MRI, CUS during ECMO identified intracranial lesions in nine neonates, which were all confirmed on post-ECMO MRI. Sixteen subjects (46%) with unremarkable CUS during ECMO had identifiable lesions on post-ECMO MRI, yielding a sensitivity of 36% and a specificity of 100% for CUS in the detection of intracranial lesions. Despite the lack of correlation between CUS and MR, 84.6% of survivors exhibited normal development at 24 months of age.

Conclusion

While necessary for the identification of intracranial lesions during neonatal ECMO, CUS demonstrated low correlation with post-ECMO MRI in the identification of intracranial lesions, which supports Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) recommendations.
Modifiable risk factors for spontaneous preterm birth in nulliparous women: a prospective study
Authors: Dagklis Themistoklis , Tsakiridis Ioannis , Mamopoulos Apostolos , Dardavessis Theodore , Athanasiadis Apostolos
Published: December 2019

Background

Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) has a detrimental impact on perinatal outcome, as well as on the resources of health systems in high-income countries. Thus, the objective of the current study was to determine the incidence of modifiable risk factors in pregnancy and their impact on the rate of sPTB.

Methods

All nulliparous pregnant women, in singleton pregnancies, with free medical and obstetric history, were eligible to participate in this study. The primary outcome of interest was the incidence of specific modifiable risk factors for sPTB. The correlations between these risk factors and sPTB were also investigated.

Results

Overall, 2027 women were eligible for the study and agreed to participate. The incidence of sPTB was 4.9%; 25.5% (n = 518) of the participants were in extreme maternal age (<20 or >35 years), 34.5% (n = 701) had an abnormal body mass index (BMI) (<18.5 or ≥25 kg/m2), 4.4% (n = 89) reported use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and 10.9% (n = 220) reported themselves as smokers in pregnancy. In the multivariate analysis, sPTB was significantly correlated with ART conception [odds ratio (OR): 2.494, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.196–5.199].

Conclusion

Approximately one in 20 primiparous pregnant women in the study had a sPTB. The study population included a high percentage of women of advanced maternal age, with abnormal BMI and smokers, but these characteristics did not affect the incidence of sPTB. On the other hand, conception following ART increased two-fold the risk of sPTB.

Intrinsic connectivity networks (ICNs) identified through task-free fMRI (tf-fMRI) offer the opportunity to investigate human brain circuits involved in language processes without requiring participants to perform challenging cognitive tasks. In this study, we assessed the ability of tf-fMRI to isolate reproducible networks critical for specific language functions and often damaged in primary progressive aphasia (PPA). First, we performed whole-brain seed-based correlation analyses on tf-fMRI data to identify ICNs anchored in regions known for articulatory, phonological, and semantic processes in healthy male and female controls (HCs). We then evaluated the reproducibility of these ICNs in an independent cohort of HCs, and recapitulated their functional relevance with apost hocmeta-analysis on task-based fMRI. Last, we investigated whether atrophy in these ICNs could inform the differential diagnosis of nonfluent/agrammatic, semantic, and logopenic PPA variants. The identified ICNs included a dorsal articulatory-phonological network involving inferior frontal and supramarginal regions; a ventral semantic network involving anterior middle temporal and angular gyri; a speech perception network involving superior temporal and sensorimotor regions; and a network between posterior inferior temporal and intraparietal regions likely linking visual, phonological, and attentional processes for written language. These ICNs were highly reproducible across independent groups and revealed areas consistent with those emerging from task-based meta-analysis. By comparing ICNs' spatial distribution in HCs with patients' atrophy patterns, we identified ICNs associated with each PPA variant. Our findings demonstrate the potential use of tf-fMRI to investigate the functional status of language networks in patients for whom activation studies can be methodologically challenging.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTWe showed that a single, short, task-free fMRI acquisition is able to identify four reproducible and relatively segregated intrinsic left-dominant networks associated with articulatory, phonological, semantic, and multimodal orthography-to-phonology processes, in HCs. We also showed that these intrinsic networks relate to syndrome-specific atrophy patterns in primary progressive aphasia. Collectively, our results support the application of task-free fMRI in future research to study functionality of language circuits in patients for whom tasked-based activation studies might be methodologically challenging.
