Mapping Stress and Structure From Subducting Slab to Magmatic Rift: Crustal Seismic Anisotropy of the North Island, New Zealand
Authors: Illsley-Kemp Finnigan , Savage Martha , Wilson Colin , Bannister S
Published: May 2020

© 2019. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. We use crustal seismic anisotropy measurements in the North Island, New Zealand, to examine structures and stress within the Taupō Volcanic Zone, the Taranaki Volcanic Lineament, the subducting Hikurangi slab, and the Hikurangi forearc. Results in the Taranaki region are consistent with NW-SE oriented extension yet suggest that the Taranaki volcanic lineament may be controlled by a deep-rooted, inherited crustal structure. In the central Taupō Volcanic Zone anisotropy fast orientations are predominantly controlled by continental rifting. However at Taupō and Okataina volcanoes, fast orientations are highly variable and radial to the calderas suggesting the influence of magma reservoirs in the seismogenic crust (≤15 km depth). The subducting Hikurangi slab has a predominant trench-parallel fast orientation, reflecting the pervasive presence of plate-bending faults, yet changing orientations at depths ≥120 km beneath the central North Island may be relics from previous subduction configurations. Finally, results from the southern Hikurangi forearc show that the orientation of stresses there is consistent with those in the underlying subducting slab. In contrast, the northern Hikurangi forearc is pervasively fractured and is undergoing E-W compression, oblique to the stress field in the subducting slab. The north-south variation in fore-arc stress is likely related to differing subduction-interface coupling. Across the varying tectonic regimes of the North Island our study highlights that large-scale tectonic forces tend to dictate the orientation of stress and structures within the crust, although more localized features (plate coupling, magma reservoirs, and inherited crustal structures) can strongly influence surface magmatism and the crustal stress field.

Для супрамолекул с межмолекулярными водородными связями (ВС) типа А⋯Х⋯А, где А — 4-н-пропилоксикоричная кислота, Х — молекула немезогена с бифункциональными акцепторами ВС, методом TD-DFT/B97-D/6-311G** рассчитаны электронные спектры поглощения. Немезогены Х (B, C, D, E) состоят из двух пиридильных фрагментов с разной природой мостиковой группы между ними: В — 4,4'-бипиридин, С — 1,2-бис(4-пири­дил)этан, D — 1,2-бис(4-пиридил)этилен, Е — 4,4'-азопиридин. Показано, что введение мостиковых групп (—CН2—CН2—, —CН=СН—, —N=N—) существенно изменяет энергии граничных орбиталей и электронные спектры поглощения (ЭСП) немезогенов Х в области ближнего УФ. Выполнено сравнение ЭСП двух структурных единиц A⋯В⋯A, A⋯A, которые могут быть образованы в результате самосборки в двухкомпонентных системах мезоген А—немезоген В. Отмечено, что наличие разных по типу (O—H⋯N и O—H⋯O) и силе водородных связей в этих комплексах приводит к смещению высокоинтенсивной полосы в область меньших длин волн в комплексе А⋯В⋯А и в область больших длин волн — в комплексе А⋯А по отношению к полосе λ = 333 нм мономера А. Показано, что ЭСП водородосвязанных комплексов А⋯Х⋯А не являются суперпозицией ЭСП отдельных компонентов. В них наблюдаются электронные переходы, связанные с переносом заряда между составляющими комплексов. Использование немезогенов Х разной природы в супрамолекулах А⋯Х⋯А позволит направленно изменять их электрооптические свойства и обеспечивать интенсивное поглощение в заданных областях УФ спектра.
Theoretical study on the structures and growth mechanisms of Ag-rich clusters: Ag(Ag2S)n and Ag2(Ag2S)n (n = 1—6)
Authors: Tian Z. , Song C.
Published: May 2020

The Ag-rich clusters Ag(Ag2S)n and Ag2(Ag2S)n (n = 1—6) are studied by the genetic algorithm combined with the density functional theory method. The PBE0/Lanl2tz(Ag)/6-311G(d,p)(S) method is used to optimize the structures. The global minimum structures, HOMO and LUMO frontier orbitals, and increment mechanisms of the clusters are investigated. The S—Ag—S unit is present in the structure when n > 1 for Ag(Ag2S)n and Ag2(Ag2S)n (n = 1—6) clusters. The triangular Ag3S3 unit is found to be an elemental building block to construct Ag(Ag2S)n and Ag2(Ag2S)n (n = 3—6) clusters. The S—Ag—Ag—S unit is present in the structures of Ag(Ag2S)5 and Ag(Ag2S)6 clusters. Beginning from Ag(Ag2S), the increment progress is exothermic when one Ag2S molecule or Ag atom is added to the molecule. The structural evolution of the studied clusters follows an edge-to-face growth mechanism. As the clusters increase, the structures evolve from open to cage ones.

Published: May 2020

Segmentation is a grand challenge, and there are many contests are held around the world to solve this challenge, especially in the biomedical image. There are many solutions to solve this challenge have been published.

Nowadays, neural networks, including deep learning is a powerful and state-of-the-art way to segment objects from the background. But to use deep learning effectively, besides design a good network architecture, the preparation of input data is also an important requirement. Active contour (another name: Snake) is a classical segmentation technique in image processing. But the accuracy of this technique is not as high as we need for health care problems, and soft techniques such as neural networks or deep learning can improve this problem. But in those researches, deep learning is supplied to change the parameters of the active contour algorithm.

We propose a combination of two fields of solving segmentation problem, a classical one, and a modern: using data from active contour to be the input of deep learning. The images to be used in this research are human liver CT images.

Published: May 2020

The mixing of hard inclusions into materials is one way to strengthen and increase the durability of the materials, creating granular composite materials. However, apart from the hard inclusions in material, other impurities (soft inclusions) and holes still have the ability to appear and affect the durability of the material. The existence of holes, impurities will affect the behavior of the crack. In this paper, the authors will investigate the effects of holes, hard inclusions, soft inclusions on the behavior of crack when growing under the effect of dynamic loads by extended twice-interpolation finite element method-XTFEM. The results of the dynamic stress intensity factor obtained from numerical examples will clearly show the impact of different types of particles on cracks... The results obtained by XTFEM will be compared with the results published in a prestigious international scientific journal to verify reliability.

Published: May 2020

In biological tissue, there are different kinds of endogenous chromophores. Their absorption spectra in the optical range are sensitive to the physiological change of the animal body. In the near-infrared region (700-1200 nm wavelength), hemoglobin has a characteristic absorption spectrum which is dependent on its redox state. Therefore, the functional information inside the animal body could be obtained noninvasively by measuring the transmitted light. By detecting the change of the absorption characteristics of the animal body, the functional change inside the body can be detected in a two-dimensional transillumination image. In this paper, we propose preliminary research on developing a novel imaging modality of biological body parts. Using the two-dimensional images obtained in many different orientations, three-dimensional physiological function imaging of the biological body by transillumination could be expected. This paper presents a preliminary result in the experiment to show the feasibility of this technique.

We have been focussing a eliminate weeding operation because it is one of the hard work in the forestry works. This research proposing the computation of trajectory capable of traversing in the entire forest. The method is based on a graph whose vertices are trees located in the forest. Trees located in the forest will be treated as vertices in a graph. In the first, the initial graph is made with considering the safety of the robot. Next, editing the initial graph to be Eulerian, and finally, the Hamiltonian circuit is obtained which could be used for trajectory. By our proposed method, the trajectory of which feasible route for traversing of the entire forest would be obtained. In the experiment, we show the result of the method applying to actual artificial forest.

Authors: Truong Duc Quynh , Tran Thanh Dung , Mai Van Dung , Le The Vinh
Published: May 2020

The microstructural characteristics of liquid lithium silicate (Li2SiO3) are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation using the Born-Mayer pairwise potentials. The simulations were performed on the systems with up to 2025 atoms (consist of 750 Li, 375 Si, and 1125 O atoms) at 3200K in the 0-30 GPa pressure range. The microstructure of liquid Li2SiO3 is analyzed via pair radial distribution functions (PRDFs), coordination distributions, angular distributions. The results show that the structure of the liquid lithium silicate consists the basic structural units TO4 (T= Li, Si) at ambient pressure, and these units decrease as the pressure increases. Besides, the shape and size of the basic structural units are slightly dependent on pressure. Calculations also indicate that calculated data agree well with the experimental ones.
The Application of PenH Simulation on Proton Imaging
Authors: Nguyen Anh Duy , Tran Thi Kim Lan , Ly Anh Tu
Published: May 2020

Proton therapy is one of the most accurate forms of cancer therapies, which requires accurate knowledge of the dose delivered to the patient and verification of the correct patient position with respect to the proton beam to avoid damage to critical normal tissues and geographical tumor misses. In existing proton treatment centers, dose calculation is performed based on X-ray computed tomography (CT), and the patient is positioned with x-ray radiographs. The use of X-ray CT images for proton treatment planning ignores fundamental differences in physical interaction processes between photons and protons and is therefore inherently inaccurate. Further, X-ray radiographs depict only skeletal structures; they do not show the tumor itself. Ideally, the image of the patient taken directly with proton CT by measuring the energy loss of high-energy protons that traverse the patient. The main content of this report is the application of simulation program PENH proton transmission via phantom associated with the PENEASY creation in proton imaging that can be applied in proton therapy.

Published: May 2020

This experimental study aimed to evaluate if the effect simultaneously wavelengths of 780 nm and 940 nm enhances bone regeneration of the broken bone. Experiments on pets: 14 dogs, were randomly divided into 2 groups: group I (low-level laser therapy) and group II (control). The results showed that dogs in group I had better bone regeneration and bone marrow formation than the control group. Then, we treated 25 patients with different fracture levels. They agreed to enjoy our method. After treatment, the fracture is no longer visible on X-ray film. The majority of patients after treatment only feel no pain or mild pain. This suggests that osteoblasts are positively affected when projected by low-level laser. It is very practical for the treatment of older patients because osteoblasts grow slowly than osteoclast.
Optimal Vertically Ascending Flight of an Insect-Like Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle
Authors: Nguyen Anh Tuan , Dinh Hoang Quan , Nguyen Van Thang , Le Vu Dan Thanh , Pham Thanh Dong , Nguyen Dinh Quang
Published: May 2020

This paper explores the optimal flight condition of an insect-like flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV) while ascending vertically at constant speeds. The FWMAV is assumed to have the same mass properties and wing geometry as those of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta. The optimization is conducted through the combination of an artificial neural network and a genetic algorithm. The training data for the artificial neural network are provided by the unsteady vortex-lattice method written in the programming language FORTRAN using parallel computation techniques. The results show that the FWMAV has to alter its wing kinematics and flapping frequency to sustain vertically ascending flight. Moreover, while ascending, the FWMAV requires more energy than that in hover. The findings from this work are useful for the design of control strategies used for insect-like FWMAVs

Published: May 2020

O objetivo dessa revisão é destacar a importância do tratamento do hipotireoidismo nas gestantes, visando evitar complicações maternas e neonatais, como por exemplo, o parto prematuro, restrição do crescimento intrauterino, comprometimento neurocognitivo fetal e descolamento de placenta. A causa maior causa de hipotireoidismo na gestação é a tireoidite crônica auto-imune, conhecida como tireoidite de Hashimoto. Outras causas são terapias realizadas com radioiodo previamente e tireoidectomia. Já o hipotireoidismo hipofisário é raro durante a gestação.  Em áreas endêmicas, a deficiência de iodo atinge cerca de 1,2 bilhão de pessoas. O hipotireoidismo é definido pelo aumento dos níveis de TSH e pela redução do T4 livre. Em grupos de mulheres que apresentam maior risco para desenvolver esta doença, a dosagem de TSH e T4 livre deve ser realizada na primeira consulta do pré-natal, visando o bem estar materno e fetal. O tratamento deve ser feito na gestação com considerações especiais, pois podem acarretar danos ao feto e a mãe.

Published: May 2020

Introdução: O infarto omental é uma rara causa de abdome agudo inflamatório, sendo a torção omental uma de suas principais etiologias. A clínica do infarto omental se assemelha com as outras patologias do abdome agudo inflamatório com queixas inespecíficas. O diagnóstico é normalmente realizado durante exame de imagem ou procedimento cirúrgico. Objetivo: Descrever um caso de infarto omental que evoluiu com formação de abscesso. Relato de caso: Paciente masculino, 65 anos, procurou atendimento devido a dor abdominal difusa. Foram solicitados exames laboratoriais e TC abdominal. A TC abdominal apresentou imagem sugestiva de infarto segmentar do omento maior com áreas de necrose de permeio. Foi indicado o tratamento conservador com antibioticoterapia oral ambulatorial, analgesia e orientações para retorno. Uma semana após, retornou com relato de piora do quadro, evoluindo com aumento da dor abdominal, com maior intensidade em região abdominal esquerda e febre. Foi realizada nova TC abdominal, exames laboratoriais e EAS, para avaliar evolução da lesão. O estudo comparativo com a TC realizada 7 dias antes mostra discreto aumento da reação inflamatória da estrutura lesional acima descrita e acrescido ao espessamento da parede abdominal adjacente. Foi indicada a omentectomia da lesão e foi enviada para análise histológica. Paciente foi internado com antibioticoterapia intravenosa e após 3 dias recebeu alta hospitalar. Conclusões: Em pacientes com abdome agudo apresentando uma clínica inespecífica, é importante pensar no infarto omental, pois, apesar de ser uma patologia rara, pode gerar complicações caso ocorra erro diagnóstico ou atraso do mesmo.

Role of Adipose Tissue and Skeletal Muscle in Atherosclerosis and in Central Hemodynamics
Authors: Ferreira Joana , Cunha Pedro , Mansilha Armando , Cunha Cristina , Silva Cristina , Vila Isabel , Carneiro Alexandre , Mesquita Amílcar , Cotter Jorge
Published: May 2020

Background

Carotid Arterial Disease (CAD) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are atherosclerotic diseases. Adipose tissue (AT) and skeletal muscle (SM) are endocrine organs producing polypeptides with vascular effects. The main objective of this study is to characterize the AT and SM in PAD and CAD. It is also an aim to determine their role in central hemodynamics.

Methods

A prospective, observational, case–control study is being conducted. The study group includes patients with PAD/CAD, with and without surgical indication. The control group includes subjects without PAD/CAD, with indication for elective non-vascular surgery, in order to allow access to samples of AT and SM. The quantity, histology and endocrine function of AT and SM are being determined.

Results

From December 2018 to August 2019, 47 PAD were studied: 33 with Intermittent Claudication (IC) - (28 male; age: 67.24 ± 9.97 years) and 14 Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) - (seven male; age: 69.21 ± 8.33 years). CLI patients have a lower quantity of SM and higher quantity of visceral and subcutaneous AT, determined on the CT scan, but these differences were not statistically significant. CLI had significant lower SM strength and density [muscle strength right hand: 22.62 ± 8.20 kgf IC vs. 16.38 ± 7.84 kgf CLI, p = 0,02; SM strength left hand: 21.98 ± 8.98 kgf IC vs. 16.37 ± 8.35 kgf CLI, p = 0.04; SM density: 20.44 ± 11.73 Hounsfield Units (HU) IC vs. 9.04 ± 2.47 HU CLI, p = 0.01].

Conclusion

This preliminary data suggests that CLI patients could have a SM dysfunction, inferred from hand grip strength and SM density. These results would be corroborated with the project development. The novelty of this research is the possibility to study the histology features and endocrine markers of AT and SM and to find an association with artery function, arteriosclerosis an atherosclerosis, in human.

VolcDeGas: A program for modelling hydrogen isotope fractionation during degassing of rhyolitic melts
Authors: Walter Sebastian , Castro Jonathan
Published: May 2020

Magma degassing mechanisms are key determinants of explosive and effusive eruption styles. Paired measurements of H2O content and hydrogen isotopic ratios (e.g., δD) in pyroclastic and effusive products can elucidate end-member degassing mechanisms (e.g. closed and open system) during eruption.  Here we present VolcDeGas, a MatLab program that models δD-H2O degassing trajectories of rhyolitic magma.  Operating within an intuitive GUI, VolcDeGas calculates degassing paths based on: initial δD (in ‰), the H2O content of the melt (wt.%), degassing step size, and temperature.  VolcDeGas also calculates hydrous speciation based on either empirical models or analytical data, and incorporates this effect in simulations.  VolcDeGas solves open-, closed-, and batched-system fractionation equations, and also combines these into multi-stage (e.g. closed-to-open) degassing paths. Tests show that degassing is highly sensitive to step size, and multi-stage scenarios involving progressively declining steps (e.g. batched-system) provide the best statistical fit to pyroclastic and effusive obsidian geochemical datasets.

Alrededor de la mitad residían en Bogotá (51.4 %) o trabajaban en un hospital universitario privado (48.3 %). El 78.8% de los encuestados consideraron que las recomendaciones de seguridad son efectivas y 76.6% se sienten seguros realizando procedimientos con ellas. Sin embargo, el 63% consideran que estas se cumplen parcialmente. Hasta el momento, 20% de los participantes reportó haber tenido contacto directo con pacientes COVID-19 positivos. Finalmente, la mayoría (93%) estan de acuerdo con la cancelación de procedimientos electivos y estan dispuestos a ser reubicados en otros servicios en caso de ser necesario.

Conclusiones. Para el inicio de la fase de mitigación en Colombia existe consenso en la percepción del impacto de la pandemia COVID-19 en los servicios de cirugía. No se observó una variabilidad significativa respecto al nivel de entrenamiento ni al tipo institución hospitalaria.

La pandemia por el virus SARS-CoV-2 y la enfermedad generada (COVID-19, del inglés Coronavirus 2019 Disease), llevó a nivel mundial a cambios significativos en la forma de prestar los servicios de salud, incluida la actividad quirúrgica. Como parte de esta realidad, se recomendó en Colombia la adopción de disposiciones enfocadas a preparar nuestro sistema de salud para enfrentar una avalancha de pacientes COVID-19, que se esperaba fuera similar a la presentada en otros países. Las medidas se tomaron en el momento oportuno, ganando tiempo de preparación, sin que hasta la fecha (8 semanas después del primer caso diagnosticado en Colombia) se haya desbordado la demanda de atención, modificando la forma esperada de la curva epidemiológica, con un número menor de pacientes.

Authors: Sandoval Moreno Adriana
Published: May 2020

Este trabajo analiza la gestión del agua en México desde 1980 a 2019, examina los problemas y debilidades que obstaculizan garantizar el derecho humano al agua y plantea los aportes de la gestión comunitaria de este recurso para impulsar el cambio institucional hacia el modelo de gobernanza del agua. La pregunta central planteada: ¿Es factible el cambio institucional hacia la gobernanza a partir de los procesos de gestión local de tipo autogestivo? A modo de hipótesis se propone que la gestión comunitaria del agua podría mostrar el camino hacia el modelo de gobernanza debido a cuatro características: la participación social, la toma de decisiones y representación colectiva, la movilización de recursos propios y el beneficio colectivo. Los resultados muestran que la gestión comunitaria del agua puede aportar, desde lo local, hacia el cambio institucional, orientado al modelo de gobernanza del agua.
