Authors: Yu Shui , Liu He , Bai Lu , Han Fuhong
Published: June 2019

To solve the problem of the low utilization ratio of clean renewable energy in public institutions, the basic information of energy utilization in public institutions was investigated. The suitability of passive energy use in public institutions was studied. According to the basic information and evaluation index of passive energy utilization in public institutions, the suitability of different types of passive energy (solar and geothermal energy) was studied by combining the resource conditions in different climate zones and the characteristics of energy utilization in typical public institutions, and the suitability distribution map was formed. In terms of research methods, the CRITIC (Criteria Importance Though Intercrieria Correlation) method based on the characteristics of objective data, and the natural breakpoint method based on the structure of objective data, were selected. Based on the climatic zoning of the buildings, this study conducted a suitability zoning. Each climatic region of buildings was divided into three sub-regions, which were the passive energy suitability regions of public institutions in the climatic region of the buildings. Finally, all of the regions with the same suitability were partitioned in order to obtain the final results. The distribution map of suitability for the different types of public institution buildings in the different regions is creatively established, which provides the basis for the selection of passive energy technology application schemes for public institution buildings in different regions, and provides macro guidance for energy planners and scheme designers.

Published: June 2019

The present paper introduces an iterative methodology to progressively reduce building simulation model complexity with the aim of identifying potential trade-offs between computational requirements (i.e., model complexity) and energy estimation accuracy. Different levels of model complexity are analysed, from commercial building energy simulation tools to low order calibrated thermal networks models. Experimental data from a residential building in Germany were collected and used to validate two detailed white-box models and a simplified white-box model. The validation process was performed in terms of internal temperature profiles and building thermal energy demand predictions. Synthetic profiles were generated from the validated models and used for calibrating high order models. A reduction (trimming) procedure was applied to reduce the model complexity using an energy performance criterion prior to model trimming. The proposed methodology has the advantage of keeping the physical structure of the original RC model, thus enabling the use of the trimmed lumped parameter building model for other applications. The analysis showed that it is possible to reduce the model complexity by half, while keeping the accuracy above 90% for the targeted building.

Autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins are a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis, a destructive inflammatory arthritis. Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) has been hypothesized to contribute to rheumatoid arthritis by citrullinating histones to induce neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which display citrullinated proteins that are targeted by autoantibodies to drive inflammation and arthritis. Consistent with this theory, PAD4-deficient mice have reduced NETs, autoantibodies, and arthritis. However, PAD4′s role in human rheumatoid arthritis is less clear. Here, we determine if single nucleotide polymorphism rs2240335 in PADI4, whose G allele is associated with reduced PAD4 in neutrophils, correlates with NETs, anti-histone antibodies, and rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility in North Americans. Control and rheumatoid arthritis subjects, divided into anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody positive and negative groups, were genotyped at rs2240335. In homozygotes, in vitro NETosis was quantified in immunofluorescent images and circulating NET and anti-histone antibody levels by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results were compared by t-test and correlation of rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis with rs2240335 by Armitage trend test. NET levels did not significantly correlate with genotype. G allele homozygotes in the CCP− rheumatoid arthritis group had reduced anti-native and anti-citrullinated histone antibodies. However, the G allele conferred increased risk for rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis, suggesting a complex role for PAD4 in human rheumatoid arthritis.
Mitochondria as a Source and a Target for Uremic Toxins

Published: June 2019

Elucidation of molecular and cellular mechanisms of the uremic syndrome is a very challenging task. More than 130 substances are now considered to be “uremic toxins” and represent a very diverse group of molecules. The toxicity of these molecules affects many cellular processes, and expectably, some of them are able to disrupt mitochondrial functioning. However, mitochondria can be the source of uremic toxins as well, as the mitochondrion can be the site of complete synthesis of the toxin, whereas in some scenarios only some enzymes of the pathway of toxin synthesis are localized here. In this review, we discuss the role of mitochondria as both the target and source of pathological processes and toxic compounds during uremia. Our analysis revealed about 30 toxins closely related to mitochondria. Moreover, since mitochondria are key regulators of cellular redox homeostasis, their functioning might directly affect the production of uremic toxins, especially those that are products of oxidation or peroxidation of cellular components, such as aldehydes, advanced glycation end-products, advanced lipoxidation end-products, and reactive carbonyl species. Additionally, as a number of metabolic products can be degraded in the mitochondria, mitochondrial dysfunction would therefore be expected to cause accumulation of such toxins in the organism. Alternatively, many uremic toxins (both made with the participation of mitochondria, and originated from other sources including exogenous) are damaging to mitochondrial components, especially respiratory complexes. As a result, a positive feedback loop emerges, leading to the amplification of the accumulation of uremic solutes. Therefore, uremia leads to the appearance of mitochondria-damaging compounds, and consecutive mitochondrial damage causes a further rise of uremic toxins, whose synthesis is associated with mitochondria. All this makes mitochondrion an important player in the pathogenesis of uremia and draws attention to the possibility of reducing the pathological consequences of uremia by protecting mitochondria and reducing their role in the production of uremic toxins.

Published: June 2019

Some lipoxygenase (LOX) isoenzymes can co-oxidize carotenoids. Carotenoids are collectors of light energy for photosynthesis and can protect plants from reactive oxygen species and coloration. This study isolated the cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) yellow-green leaf mutant (ygl1), which had yellow-green leaves with decreased chlorophyll synthesis, increased relative carotenoid content, and delayed chloroplast development. Genetic analysis demonstrated that the phenotype of ygl1 was caused by a recessive mutation in a nuclear gene. The bulked segregants were resequenced, and the candidate ygl1 locus identified was mapped to the 9.2 kb region of the chromosome 4. Sequence analysis revealed that ygl1 encodes the tandem 13-LOX genes in a cluster. Four missense mutations were found in four tandem 13-LOX genes (Csa4M286960, Csa4M287550, Csa4M288070, and Csa4M288080) in the ygl1 mutant, and the four 13-LOX genes showed high similarity with one another. The transient RNA interference and virus-induced gene silencing of these genes simultaneously resulted in yellow-green leaves with a reduced amount of chloroplasts and increased relative carotenoid content, which were observed in the ygl1 mutant. This evidence supported the non-synonymous SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) in the four tandem 13-LOX genes as being the causative mutation for the yellow-green leaves. Furthermore, this study provides a new allele for breeding cucumbers with yellow-green leaves and serves as an additional resource for studying carotenoid biosynthesis.

Published: June 2019

We present a single-photon sensor based on the single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) that is suitable for low-cost and low-voltage light detection and ranging (LiDAR) applications. It is implemented in a zero-change standard 0.18-μm complementary metal oxide semiconductor process at the minimum cost by excluding any additional processing step for customized doping profiles. The SPAD is based on circular shaped P+/N-well junction of 8-μm diameter, and it achieves low breakdown voltage below 10 V so that the operation voltage of the single-photon sensor can be minimized. The quenching and reset circuit is integrated monolithically to capture photon-generated output pulses for measurement. A complete characterization of our single-photon sensor is provided.

Published: June 2019

Background and objectives: T regulatory lymphocytes (Treg) are one of the subsets of T-lymphocytes involved in the interaction of neoplastic tumors and the host immune system, and they may impair the immune reaction against cancer. It has been shown that Treg are increased in the peripheral blood of patients with various cancers. In colorectal cancer, the prognostic role of Treg remains controversial. Colorectal cancer is a heterogenous disease, with many variations stemming from its primary tumor location. The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between the amount of Treg in the peripheral blood of patients with left-sided colorectal cancer in various stages of disease and long-term survival. Materials and Methods: A prospective analysis of 94 patients with left-sided colorectal cancer and a group of 21 healthy volunteers was carried out. Treg levels in peripheral blood were analysed using flow cytometry. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the amount of Treg in the Ist and IInd TNM stages (p = 0.047). The number of Treg in the entire study group was significantly lower than in the control group (p = 0.008) and between patients in stages II and III and the control group (p = 0.003 and p = 0.018). The group of pT3+pT4 patients also had significantly lower Treg counts in their peripheral blood than the control group (p = 0.005). In the entire study group, the level of Treg cells in the peripheral blood had no influence on survival. The analysis of the TNM stage subgroups also showed no difference in survival between patients with “low” and “high” Treg counts. Conclusion: The absolute number of Treg in the peripheral blood of patients with left-sided colorectal cancer was significantly decreased in comparison to healthy controls, especially for patients with stage II+III disease. Treg presence in the peripheral blood had no impact on survival.

Published: June 2019

Background and Objectives: Electrocautery adenoidectomy (ECA) is a common procedure performed in paediatric otolaryngology. ECA has been preferred over curettage adenoidectomy due to its lower intraoperative bleeding rates, decreased procedure time, and higher subjective success. However, post-ECA symptoms of pain and halitosis have never been studied. The objective of our study was to identify the pattern of post-ECA halitosis and pain in the paediatric population. Materials and Methods: This is a single centre, prospective observational study that uses visual analogue scales (VAS) by parent proxy to assess post-ECA pain and halitosis in paediatric patients (age < 18) in South Australia. A total of 19 patients were enrolled in the study and followed for seven days. Results: Postoperative pain and halitosis reaches a peak 3 days post-ECA (median = 2 for pain; median = 6 for halitosis) but resolves 7 days post-ECA (median = 0 for both). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that halitosis and pain occur over a seven-day period in patients undergoing ECA and will resolve post-operatively with simple analgesia and without antibiotics.

Published: June 2019

Inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase by specified synthetic compounds during the digestion of starch helps control post-prandial hyperglycemia and could represent a potential therapy for type II diabetes mellitus. A new series of spiroheterocyclic compounds bearing oxindole/benzofuran/pyrrolidine/thiazolidine motifs were synthesized via a 1,3-dipolar cyclo-addition reaction approach. The specific compounds were obtained by reactions of chalcones having a benzo[b]furan scaffold (compounds 2a–f), with a substituted isatin (compounds 3a–c) and heterocyclic amino acids (compounds 4a,b). The target spiroindolone analogues 5a–r were evaluated for their potential inhibitory activities against the enzymes α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Preliminary results indicated that some of the target compounds exhibit promising α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Among the tested spiroindolone analogues, the cycloadduct 5r was found to be the most active (IC50 = 22.61 ± 0.54 μM and 14.05 ± 1.03 μM) as α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors, with selectivity indexes of 0.62 and 1.60, respectively. Docking studies were carried out to confirm the binding interaction between the enzyme active site and the spiroindolone analogues.
Analyses of Time Series InSAR Signatures for Land Cover Classification: Case Studies over Dense Forestry Areas with L-Band SAR Images
Authors: Yun Hye-Won , Kim Jung-Rack , Choi Yun-Soo , Lin Shih-Yuan
Published: June 2019

As demonstrated in prior studies, InSAR holds great potential for land cover classification, especially considering its wide coverage and transparency to climatic conditions. In addition to features such as backscattering coefficient and phase coherence, the temporal migration in InSAR signatures provides information that is capable of discriminating types of land cover in target area. The exploitation of InSAR signatures was expected to provide merits to trace land cover change in extensive areas; however, the extraction of suitable features from InSAR signatures was a challenging task. Combining time series amplitudes and phase coherences through linear and nonlinear compressions, we showed that the InSAR signatures could be extracted and transformed into reliable classification features for interpreting land cover types. The prototype was tested in mountainous areas that were covered with a dense vegetation canopy. It was demonstrated that InSAR time series signature analyses reliably identified land cover types and also recognized tracing of temporal land cover change. Based on the robustness of the developed scheme against the temporal noise components and the availability of advanced spatial and temporal resolution SAR data, classification of finer land cover types and identification of stable scatterers for InSAR time series techniques can be expected. The advanced spatial and temporal resolution of future SAR assets combining the scheme in this study can be applicable for various important applications including global land cover changes monitoring.

Cross-Cultural Influences in Makam Theory: The Case of Greek-Orthodox Theorists in the Ottoman Empire
Authors: ŞAHİN Nevin , GÜRAY Cenk , AYDIN Ali Fuat
Published: June 2019

The makam theory, which has been transmitted for nearly 5,000 years in Anatolian culture through the periods of Ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Empires, Medieval Islam, the Ottoman Empire, and the Turkish Republic, presents an efficient cultural base on which sociocultural changes can be traced. In this regard, the works of Greek Orthodox theorists, who played a dominant role in the transmission of Ottoman music theory, especially after the 17th century, establish a powerful database for research on such topics as multi-culturalism in Ottoman music, the effect of Byzantine Music theory on Ottoman music, and the reflections of national identities in music. To be able to derive conclusions on these topics, the scope of this paper concentrates on a comparative survey of works of three Greek Orthodox theorists, namely Halaçoğlu, Marmarinos, and Kiltzanidis from the 18th and 19th centuries, and the works of other prominent theorists of the Ottoman music scene, such as Cantemir and Nâsır Abdülbâkî Dede. The comparative analysis provides a scope to better understand how the music related to the social life of the Ottoman Empire at the time, and how the aesthetic and social changes were reflected in the music.

Authors: BAYRAM Tuba , ARGUN Yusuf Alparslan , TIRINK Sevtap
Published: June 2019

In the world, where human population exceeds 6 billion, industrialization process has been spreading in developing countries and it has caused a great increase in the amount of waste. Development levels of world countries are the significant impact to determine the amount and formation of solid wastes. The first legal regulations on the collection and evaluation of solid wastes in Turkey were entered into force in 1930. Turkey had 3140 municipalities in 2002. While 2977 (92%) of these municipalities were giving solid waste collection service, only 12 municipalities had disposal facilities according to the regulations. There were 12 regular storage and 4 composting facilities belonging to these municipalities. Basic policy in waste management in Turkey is the waste minimization, recycling and final disposal. In the case of pollution/contamination, authorities are responsible for taking required measures to prevent contamination and polluting individuals are obliged to stop pollution, take measures to reduce or eliminate its effects. This study presents a brief history of the legislative trends in Turkey for Municipality solid waste (MSW) management. In addition, submits the MSW responsibility and management structure along with the current production, composition, recycling, and treatment. The legislative system that will provide legal, administrative and technical guidance or a roadmap to the most important handicap projects of local governments which want to put their budget projects into practice isn’t sufficient and effective in terms of institution. The directive on control of solid waste is crucially important for local administrations to implement urgently such infrastructure projects which are the most important actors to achieve the process of European Union (EU) accession process where legislative, administrative and technical frameworks have to be adherent to EU. Such an approach will be needed for Turkish people to live in a healthy environment and sustainable development in the country.

Purpose of the study. To study systemic inflammatory response indexes in patients with neck phlegmons.

Materials and methods. All patients were divided on two groups. In general group (84 people) treatment included vulnerosorption with modern composition. The control group consisted of 57 patients taking hydrophilic ointments. To investigate the severity of endotoxicosis, Morozova’s scales and predictors of leukocyte index of intoxication, the index of the ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes, lymphocyticgranulocyte index, were used.

Results. The most frequent complications included sepsis (64,5%), toxic myocarditis (60%), toxic nephritis (68%) and mediastinitis (48,2%).

Morozov's index of 113 (80%) patients was 41,5 ± 5 (severe endogenous intoxication); among the last 28 (20%) it showed 29,7 ± 2,6 (the average degree of intoxication). Changes of leukocyte index of intoxication, the index of the ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes, lymphocytic-granulocyte index in patients treated with sorption composition showed more positive dynamics compared with the control group. The mortality in general group was 4,8% vs 14% in the control group.

Conclusions. Deep neck phlegmons are characterized by severe endotoxicosis and lead to sepsis in 64,5% and mediastinitis in 48,2% cases. Morozova’s scales are useful to study the level of endotoxicosis in patients with neck phlegmons. Investigated sorption composition is more effective than a hydrophilic ointment, what confirms the dynamics of leukocyte index of intoxication, the index of the ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes, lymphocytic-granulocyte index.

Published: June 2019

Introduction. The problem of purulentinflammatory processes treatment and the prevention of sepsis remains one of the most pressing problems of surgery.

Purpose of the study. Is to estimate the effectiveness of sorption composition with antimicrobial properties on the basis of nanodisperse silica on the adhesive properties of microorganisms and to substantiate the expediency of its use for the purulent and inflammatory processes treatment and prevention of sepsis.

Materials and methods. To determine the antimicrobial activity and the influence of the antiseptics of decasan, myramistin, ethonium, chlorhexidine and the sorption on the microorganisms adhesion properties composition was used the method of diffusion in agar of the museum strains of microorganisms S. Aureus ATCC 25923, E. Coli ATCC 25922, R. Vulgaris 4636, R. Aureginosa ATCC 27853, S. AIbicans 855/653, SI. Perfringens 28, Peptostreptococcus anaerobicus 22, Bacteroides fragilis 13/83, and clinical strains of S. Aureus, R. Aeuroginosa, E. Coli. Adhesive properties of microorganisms were studied according to the Brillis method et al. (1986) with the subsequent statistical processing of the data.

Results. Studies have shown that antiseptics have high antimicrobial activity and reduce the adhesion ability of microorganisms. But the use of only antiseptics or only antibiotics for the purification of purulent foci can lead to toxins absorption and tissue decay products from purulent foci. That processes could be the trigger mechanism for sepsis development. The sorption composition is able to reduce the adhesive activity of bacteria, allows to absorb toxic substances from pathological foci, what preventing their resorption and thereby prevent the development of sepsis.

Conclusions. The composition made from sorbents and antiseptics is not inferior to antimicrobial activity to antiseptics, which can reduce the virulence of bacteria, by reducing their adhesive activity, and absorb toxins of microorganisms and tissue decomposition products on their surface, thus prevent their absorption, which will prevent the purulent-inflammatory process progression and sepsis development.

Recently, on Facebook, an editor asked some biblical scholars to share what books got us interested in biblical studies. As I look back, what really got me excited were books that invited me into knowing God more through the Old Testament in light of the bigger story of Scripture. In this reflection, I will share about three such books. None of these books would qualify as “Old Testament theologies,” yet I reckon that they have had a far greater theological impact upon me than anything I have read in the field of Old Testament theology.

Self-Concept and Social Adjustment of First-Year Students
Authors: Hidayah Rifa
Published: June 2019

Objective - Students who study in higher education institutions should have a good socialization process since it later influences their happiness and sadness during their first year of university life. They may face some difficulties and problems that may inhibit their academic success if they cannot adjust well. One of the successful social adjustment criteria is self-concept, in which is derived from interactions with others, for example, the environment. For that reason, it is important to investigate the self-concept and social adjustment of Psychology students, at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, during the first semester. This paper therefore aims to a) determine the degree of student social adjustment, b) determine the quality of self-concept, and c) identify the relationship between self-concept and social adjustment among first year students of Psychology, UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang.
Methodology/Technique – The subjects of this study include 134 first year students at the Faculty of Psychology, UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, East Java. The data was collected in accordance with the scale of self-concept and social adjustment.
Finding & Novelty - The results show that 1) the degree of first students’ self-concept is in average scale, 69.4%, 2) the social adjustment of first year students belongs to a moderate category, 71,6%, and 3) self-concept has positive correlation to social adjustment (r = 0,703, p = 0,000). These findings confirm that the higher the self-concept the students poses, the better the social adjustment they perform. This study suggests the need for intervention to escalate self-concept and social adjustment of students by collaborating with some stakeholders, particularly students’ parents, universities, government, societies, and religious figures.

We report on a multiobservatory campaign to examine asteroid 3200 Phaethon during its 2017 December close approach to Earth, in order to improve our measurements of its fundamental parameters, and to search for surface variations, cometary activity, and fragmentation. The mean colors of Phaethon are B – V = 0.702 ± 0.004, V – R = 0.309 ± 0.003, and R – I = 0.266 ± 0.004, neutral to slightly blue, consistent with previous classifications of Phaethon as a F-type or B-type asteroid. Variations in Phaethon’s B – V colors (but not V – R or R – I) with observer sublatitude are seen and may be associated with craters observed by the Arecibo radar. High-cadence photometry over phases from 20° to 100° allows a fit to the values of the HG photometric parameters; H = 14.57 ± 0.02, 13.63 ± 0.02, 13.28 ± 0.02, 13.07 ± 0.02; G = 0.00 ± 0.01, −0.09 ± 0.01, −0.10 ± 0.01, −0.08 ± 0.01 in the BVRI filters respectively; the negative G values are consistent with other observations of F-type asteroids. Light-curve variations were seen that are also consistent with concavities reported by Arecibo, indicative of large craters on Phaethon’s surface whose ejecta may be the source of the Geminid meteoroid stream. A search for gas/dust production sets an upper limit of 0.06 ± 0.02 kg s−1 when Phaethon was 1.449 au from the Sun, and 0.2 ± 0.1 kg s−1 at 1.067 au. A search for meter-class fragments accompanying Phaethon did not find any whose on-sky motion was not also consistent with background main-belt asteroids.
Anionic Carbon Chain Growth in Reactions of

Published: June 2019

The observed abundances of interstellar carbon chain anions are not yet fully understood in recent models of astrochemical reaction networks. The major formation route is assumed to be the chain growth of neutral carbon chains followed by the formation of anions via radiative electron attachment. Besides this, chemical reactions with ions and, in a single study, the anionic chain growth reaction C2n
H− + C2H2 → C2n+2H− + H2 have been proposed to influence molecular abundances. In the present work, the title reactions have been investigated experimentally by velocity map imaging in a crossed beam setup. All reactions take place at well-defined collision energies in the range from 0.3 to 3.0 eV. The dominant products are C4H−, C6H−, and C8H− in the reactions with n = 1, 2, 3, respectively. Preferentially at low energies,

,

, and

are also formed. The reactions of C2H−, C4H−, and C6H− with acetylene are slower than those with

,

, and

, respectively. Increasing collision energy and reactant ion chain length appears to enhance the reaction rates of the hydrogenated species relative to the latter ions, forming both

and

. These results are discussed with the aim to clarify their possible relevance in interstellar environments.
Isovector Effects in Neutron Stars, Radii, and the GW170817 Constraint

Published: June 2019

An isovector–scalar meson is incorporated self-consistently into the quark–meson coupling description of nuclear matter, and its most prominent effects on the structure of neutron stars are investigated. The recent measurement of GW170817 is used to constrain the strength of the isovector–scalar channel. With the imminent measurements of the neutron star radii in the NICER mission, it is particularly notable that the inclusion of the isovector–scalar force has a significant impact. Indeed, the effect of this interaction on the neutron star radii and masses is larger than the uncertainties introduced by variations in the parameters of symmetric nuclear matter at saturation, namely the density, binding energy per nucleon, and the symmetry energy. In addition, as the analysis of GW170817 has provided constraints on the binary tidal deformability of merging neutron stars, the predictions for this parameter within the quark–meson coupling model are explored, as well as the moment of inertia and the quadrupole moment of slowly rotating neutron stars.
Short-term Variability of Evolved Massive Stars with TESS

Published: June 2019

We present the first results from a study of Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) Sector 1 and 2 light curves for eight evolved massive stars in the LMC: six yellow supergiants (YSGs) and two luminous blue variables (LBVs), including S Doradus. We use an iterative prewhitening procedure to characterize the short-timescale variability in all eight stars. The periodogram of one of the YSGs, HD 269953, displays multiple strong peaks at higher frequencies than its fellows. While the field surrounding HD 269953 is quite crowded, it is the brightest star in the region, and has infrared colors indicating it is dusty. We suggest HD 269953 may be in a post-red supergiant evolutionary phase. We find a signal with a period of ∼5 days for the LBV HD 269582. The periodogram of S Doradus shows a complicated structure, with peaks below frequencies of 1.5 cycles per day. We fit the shape of the background noise of all eight light curves, and find a red noise component in all of them. However, the power-law slope of the red noise and the timescale over which coherent structures arise changes from star to star. Our results highlight the potential for studying evolved massive stars with TESS.
A Principal Component Analysis-based Method to Analyze High-resolution Spectroscopic Data on Exoplanets

Published: June 2019

High-resolution spectroscopy has been used to study the composition and dynamics of exoplanetary atmospheres. In particular, the spectrometer CRIRES installed on the ESO-VLT has been used to record high-resolution spectra in the near-IR of gaseous exoplanets. Here we present a new automatic pipeline to analyze CRIRES data sets. Said pipeline is based on a novel use of the principal component analysis and the cross-correlation function. The exoplanetary atmosphere is modeled with the

-REx code using opacities at high temperatures from the ExoMol project. In this work we tested our analysis tools on the detection of CO and H2O in the atmospheres of the hot Jupiters HD209458b and HD189733b. The results of our pipeline are in agreement with previous results in the literature and other techniques.

BACKGROUND: In HIV-infected patient who accompanied by syphilis often difficult to diagnose and difficult to treat. The aim is to diagnostics understanding and to optimise the management and response therapy in patients with neuroretinitis syphilis in HIV-infected patients. CASE PRESENTATION: A 53-years old, bisexual, male patient whose initial presentation was a blurry vision on the left eye. History of a painless genital lesion, HIV infection (+) on ARV therapy. The visual acuity of hand movement (HM), RAPD (+), with vitreous opacities and optic disc swelling. The OCT RNFL showed neural layer thickening in all areas. VEP showed increased P100 latency, normal head and orbital CT scan. High VDRL and TPHA titer. Lumbar puncture examination showed non-reactive VDRL. Treated with topical prednisolone eye drops, oral neurotropic vitamin, and intramuscular injection of Benzathine Penicillin G. Diagnosed with OS neuroretinitis et causa syphilis infection, HIV stage II on HAART. Follow up in 2 months, the visual acuity improved, and serology post-therapy VDRL was decreased. CONCLUSION: High accuracy is needed for screening signs and symptoms in syphilis patients because of the varied clinical manifestations. Ocular syphilis manifestation in HIV has a higher risk for neurologic complications and the risk of failing treatment with the standard regimen.
