Wheelchair Seating Assessment and Intervention: A Comparison between Telerehabilitation and Face-to-Face Service
Authors: Barlow Ingrid G , Liu Lili , Sekulic Angela
Published: May 2010

This study compared outcomes of wheelchair seating and positioning interventions provided by telerehabilitation (n=10) and face-to-face (n=20; 10 in each of two comparison groups, one urban and one rural). Comparison clients were matched to the telerehabilitation clients in age, diagnosis, and type of seating components received. Clients and referring therapists rated their satisfaction and identified if seating intervention goals were met. Clients recorded travel expenses incurred or saved, and all therapists recorded time spent providing service. Wait times and completion times were tracked. Clients seen by telerehabilitation had similar satisfaction ratings and were as likely to have their goals met as clients seen face-to-face; telerehabilitation clients saved travel costs. Rural referring therapists who used telerehabilitation spent more time in preparation and follow-up than the other groups. Clients assessed by telerehabilitation had shorter wait times for assessment than rural face-to-face clients, but their interventions took as long to complete.

Determination of %polyvinyl alcohol in vinyl acetate‐alcohol resins by quantitative near infrared spectroscopic analysis
Authors: Patel S. H. , Bakeev Katherine A. , Chen Gary , Zhang Qi , Wan Chen
Published: May 2010

A number of vinyl acetate‐alcohol resins (VAAR) samples were collected during partial hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate) at different conversions levels (<30%). Using these VAAR samples with known OH (hydroxyl) content, it has been demonstrated that near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic data produced a near perfect fit for the calibration of OH content. A 4‐factor partial least‐squares method was employed and gave the best results. Further work also confirmed that NIR, operating at a well‐controlled environment, is able to quantify, with great precision, the OH content of the selected model compound. In the case for the OH content analysis of VAAR resins, solvent mix ratio (methyl acetate: methanol) and temperature have been identified to be the two most influential factors on the analytical results. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran is a more potent cytochrome P4501A inducer than 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in herring gull hepatocyte cultures
Authors: Hervé Jessica C. , Crump Doug L.D. , McLaren Kristina K. , Giesy John P. , Zwiernik Matthew J. , Bursian Steven J. , Kennedy Sean W.
Published: May 2010

Concentration-dependent effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran (PeCDF), and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) on cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) induction were determined in primary cultures of embryonic herring gull (Larus argentatus) hepatocytes exposed for 24 h. Based on the concentration that induced 50% of the maximal response (EC50), the relative potencies of TCDD and TCDF did not differ by more than 3.5-fold. However, also based on the EC50, PeCDF was 40-fold, 21-fold, and 9.8-fold more potent for inducing ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity, CYP1A4 mRNA expression, and CYP1A5 mRNA expression than TCDD, respectively. The relative CYP1A-inducing potencies of PeCDF and of other dioxin-like chemicals (DLCs) in herring gull hepatocytes (HEH RePs), along with data on concentrations of DLCs in Great Lakes herring gull eggs, were used to calculate World Health Organization toxic equivalent (WHO-TEQ) concentrations and herring gull embryonic hepatocyte toxic equivalent (HEH-TEQ) concentrations. The analysis indicated that, when using avian toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) recommended by the WHO, the relative contribution of TCDD (1.1–10.2%) to total WHO-TEQ concentration was higher than that of PeCDF (1.7–2.9%). These results differ from the relative contribution of TCDD and PeCDF when HEH RePs were used; PeCDF was a major contributor (36.5–52.9%) to total HEH-TEQ concentrations, whereas the contribution by TCDD (1.2–10.3%) was less than that of PeCDF. The WHO TEFs for avian species were largely derived from studies with the domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus). The findings of the present study suggest that it is necessary to determine the relative potencies of DLCs in wild birds and to re-evaluate their relative contributions to the biochemical and toxic effects previously reported in herring gulls and other avian species.

Numerical estimation of mixed convection heat transfer in vertical helically coiled tube heat exchangers
Authors: Mirgolbabaei Hessam , Taherian Hessam , Domairry G. , Ghorbani N.
Published: May 2010

A numerical investigation of the mixed convection heat transfer from vertical helically coiled tubes in a cylindrical shell at various Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers, various coil‐to‐tube diameter ratios and non‐dimensional coil pitches was carried out. The particular difference in this study compared with other similar studies is the boundary conditions for the helical coil. Most studies focus on constant wall temperature or constant heat flux, whereas in this study it was a fluid‐to‐fluid heat exchanger. The purpose of this article is to assess the influence of the tube diameter, coil pitch and shell‐side mass flow rate on shell‐side heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger. Different characteristic lengths were used in the Nusselt number calculations to determine which length best fits the data and finally it has been shown that the normalized length of the shell‐side of the heat exchanger reasonably demonstrates the desired relation.

A novel Cartesian cut cell solver for incompressible viscous flow in irregular domains
Authors: Luo X. L. , Lei K. B. , Gu Z. L. , Wang S. , Kase K.
Published: May 2010

A Cartesian cut cell solver with solution‐based adaptive mesh refinement is developed for simulating viscous, incompressible flows with arbitrary complex geometries. The cut cells are automatically generated using Volume CAD (VCAD), a framework for storing geometric and material attribute data. Unlike earlier cut cell methods, this solver organizes the cutting patterns into only six categories and further subdivides the resulting pentagon into two quadrilaterals, such that mesh data can be stored by uniform data structure and the post‐processing of flow data can be handled conveniently. A novel method is proposed to treat minuscule cut cells without the process of cell merging. A collocated finite volume method, which can be used even when multiple cell shapes and orthogonal and non‐orthogonal grids exist in the decomposition, is employed to discretize the Navier–Stokes equations. A modified SIMPLE‐based smoothing pressure correction scheme is applied in this cut cell method to suppress checkerboard pressure oscillations caused by collocated arrangement. The solver is first used to simulate a channel flow to demonstrate its calculation accuracy expressed with L1 and L∞ norm errors and then the method is utilized to solve three benchmark problems of flow and heat transfer within irregular domains to verify its feasibility, efficiency, accuracy and potential in engineering applications.

Exploring process capability with Mathematica
Authors: Spiring Fred
Published: May 2010

Several methods for estimating, assessing and monitoring process capability are illustrated using the software package Mathematica 7 (Mathematica 7. Wolfram Media: Champaign, IL, 2009). Graphical techniques that allow assessment of the underlying distributional properties of the process data as well as process capability are presented and illustrated. Several new conventions are proposed that attempt to provide insights into the process with diagnostic tools useful for, but not limited to the manufacturing sector. Several estimation and inferential techniques for the more common indices are presented with tools for determining associated values and the resulting inferences. This notebook is best viewed using Mathematica 7 or Mathematica Player 7. Mathematica Player 7 is a free download available at www.Wolfram.com/products/player/ that allows all features of the notebook to be viewed. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The Storing Matter technique: Application to PVC using Au and Ag collectors
Authors: Becker N. , Wirtz T. , Migeon H.‐N.
Published: May 2010

The Storing Matter technique has been developed to perform quantitative surface analysis with high sensitivity. This technique consists in decoupling the sputtering of the specimen from the subsequent analysis step. In the recently developed prototype instrument, the sample surface is sputtered by an ion beam and the emitted particles are deposited at submonolayer level on a dedicated collector under UHV conditions. In a second step, the matter deposited on the collector is analyzed by SIMS in dynamic or static mode. The chemical nature of the collector surface is chosen with regard to the subsequent SIMS analysis (high or low work function to enhance positive or negative ionization, metallic overlayer for optimized organic information by cationization, etc.) by depositing thin films by electron beam evaporation.

This paper presents the first results obtained on PVC samples with the Storing Matter prototype instrument. The chosen collector surfaces were Au and Ag, which are known to enhance cationization in static SIMS. The positive mass spectra obtained from Storing Matter deposits on these collectors were compared to those recorded on a PVC reference sample, on a PVC sample covered with a thin metallic overlayer, on a PVC thin film deposited on a metal substrate, and on the pristine collectors. This study showed that the Storing Matter technique allows for a clear identification of the PVC deposit on the Ag collector, while identification was impossible in the case of the Au collector due to a high degree of organic contaminations on the pristine collector.

Layer‐by‐layer engineered polyelectrolyte microcapsules studied by ToF‐SIMS and related analytical techniques
Authors: Yin Yu‐Sheng , Lei Shiou‐Ling , Chen Yu‐Wen , Ling Yong‐Chien
Published: May 2010

Engineered polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films of polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) assembled on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate as well as PEM microcapsules of PAH and PSS templated onto polystyrene latex were fabricated through a layer‐by‐layer assembly and characterized by various analytical techniques. The characteristic ion intensities from the respective outermost layer obtained by ToF‐SIMS accorded well with the layer composition. The S and C8H7SO3 ion intensities were higher in PSS layers; whereas Cl ion intensity was higher in PAH layers. The SEM image displayed morphology which involved electrostatic interactions during the formation of the multilayer. AFM measurement showed the shell thickness of PEM microcapsules as 1.21 nm. ToF‐SIMS total ion, S ion, and Cl ion images were useful to delineate the PEM microcapsules location and to indicate successful assembly. The results demonstrated for the first time the feasibility of label‐free ToF‐SIMS imaging of PEM microcapsules. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
