Molybdenum/Bismuth Based Mixed Metal Oxide Catalysts for Selective Propylene Oxidation and Zeolite Membrane Protected Palladium/Alumina Catalysts for Selective Carbon Monoxide Oxidation and Application in a Process Loop Using a Propane Feed
Authors: Velazco Maria Rivas , McDonnell William , Smith Andrew W. J.
Published: February 2017

As part of a process loop to make acrylic acid from propane, catalysts for two reactions have been investigated. Mo/Bi based mixed metal oxides for selective oxidation of propylene in a propane feed have been prepared by a sol-gel method which increased activity over the standard catalyst. Modifications of the molecular formula led to an increase in selectivity towards acrolein whilst maintaining the improved conversion. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed the sol-gel method helped incorporate the various mixed metal oxides and prevented segregation during reaction conditions. A Pd-loaded 4A zeolite membrane catalyst was developed on the surface of 1 mm beads γ-Al2O3 support. The membrane was employed in the selective oxidation of CO in a propane-rich mixture. The zeolite coating was developed by using a new modification of the hydrothermal synthesis (dilution method). Catalytic test results confirmed that the selective oxidation of CO in the presence of propane is possible by using a 4A zeolite membrane coated on a Pd based catalyst. Temperature and time during zeolite preparation are key parameters in the stability and reproducibility of the zeolite membrane. The seeding method improves the growth of the zeolite on the catalyst surface and does not affect the stability and reproducibility of catalyst. By using this catalyst it is possible to get a temperature window for the selective oxidation of CO (65°C).
Platinum Group Metal Compounds in Cancer Chemotherapy
Authors: Barnard Christopher
Published: February 2017

It was some 50 years ago that Barnett Rosenberg and coworkers published their studies on unusual patterns of bacterial growth that led to the identification of platinum compounds as highly effective agents against some cancers, particularly those of genitourinary origin. This sparked a renewed interest around the world in the potential of metal compounds as small molecule therapeutic agents. Some of that history, particularly related to the platinum group metals (pgm) platinum and ruthenium, is described in this overview.

Der Vikar
Authors: Staub Martial
Published: February 2017

«Ein protestantischer Landgeistlicher ist vielleicht der schönste Gegenstand einer modernen Idylle; er erscheint, wie Melchisedek; als Priester und König in einer Person» – so führt Goethe das evangelische Pfarrhaus in Dichtung und Wahrheit ein. Der Geistliche, auf dessen Autobiographie Goethe sein Urteil stützt, ist allerdings weder evangelisch noch deutsch und zugleich zumindest teilweise fiktiv. Die Rede ist bei Goethe vom Pfarrer von Wakefield, dessen Geschichte wiederum von ihrem Autor, dem anglo-irischen Pfarrerssohn Oliver Goldsmith, in seinem Roman über den «Landpriester» – oder eben: Vikar – als ein Märchen tituliert wird, a tale, supposed to be written by himself.
Participación y legislación sobre agua en México. Una aproximación histórica
Authors: Romero-Navarrete Lourdes
Published: February 2017

El artículo analiza dos ángulos de la participación social en la legislación sobre agua en México, formulada a partir de la Constitución Política de 1917. Con base en los presupuestos de la ecología política, discierne sobre el papel de la discusión parlamentaria en torno al tema y sobre las plataformas de participación planteadas en cada legislación. Enfatiza la débil intervención del Congreso en el diseño de cada ley y los límites de la participación, distinguiendo tres etapas: una postrevolucionaria, carente de debate parlamentario, que estructuralmente favoreció el control clientelar de la participación. La segunda, marcada con la ley de 1972, que inauguró el debate sobre la democratización de los espacios de concertación, aunque operativamente reforzó el control centralizado de las decisiones. La tercera corresponde a la legislación de 1992, vigente, que innovó en el tema de la participación con la creación de los Consejos de Cuenca, pero que además de merecer atención marginal en la discusión parlamentaria, instrumentalmente limita la construcción de consensos. Concluye que las acciones legislativas, aún tienen pendiente la concreción de la participación como un ejercicio del principio de propiedad nacional asentado en la Constitución Política vigente.
Tierra y agua: efectos culturales por la construcción de la Hidroeléctrica en los pueblos indígenas nahuas de Zongolica, Veracruz
Authors: Flores-Pacheco Martha I.
Published: February 2017

El artículo que se presenta tiene como objetivo exponer el caso concreto del pueblo indígena nahua afectado por la construcción de una presa hidroeléctrica en Zongolica, Veracruz. El caso muestra cómo, una vez más, el estado mexicano realiza este tipo de obras sin cumplir con los debidos procesos de consulta y participación de la población afectada. Más aún, sin tomar en cuenta los perjuicios de la obra en el territorio y la cultura de los indígenas de la zona. La metodología utilizada en la investigación del caso es inductiva, basada en el método etnográfico y en la observación participante. Se recupera información de entrevistas realizadas en el trabajo de campo y se utilizan fuentes hemerográficas. Los resultados de la investigación muestran que una constante en este tipo de obras es la violación a los derechos de los pueblos indígenas; así como las irregularidades cometidas reiteradamente por las instituciones de gobierno que se hacen cargo de estos procesos de consulta, indemnización y reacomodo de las poblaciones. La investigación documenta el proceso seguido por el gobierno mexicano en la afectación de los indígenas nahuas de Veracruz y la forma en que se está alterando y será modificado su modo de vida y su cultura. A lo largo del texto se abordan preguntas como ¿cuáles son los efectos (sociales, culturales y territoriales) de estas grandes obras en la vida de los pueblos indígenas? ¿Por qué estas obras no toman en cuenta los derechos de los pueblos indígenas ya consagrados en la legislación nacional e internacional? y ¿cómo pueden los pueblos indígenas obligar al estado mexicano a respetar sus derechos?

Published: February 2017

At product manufacturing the time-to-market factor, the profitability and the delivered value define the success of an enterprise. The increasing number of modules in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) programs is a facing problem, when there is a margin between the manufacturing cells and the ERP. Nowadays, the connection between the industrial machines and the ERP is an important requirement especially at automated warehouses and smart factories. Other concerns at manufacturing are the maintenance schedules of the machines, and flexible and easy reconfiguration of the production lines or the production cells. Information technology provides solutions and software environments to implement complex production supervisor ERPs at smart factories. At a production line or an automated warehouse several technical parameters and information can influence the planning of the resources at the enterprise, like maintenance, machine error, stockpile, product ID, defective product ratios, etc. When there is machine maintenance, the company needs to order the service parts, as well as schedule the service time and the stop of the production line. In case of a machine error, the system can estimate the length of the service time from error messages, and reorganize orders, transportation, or even maintenance schedules of other machines. Our plug and play type robot and industrial automation controller project gives a solution for these hardware demanding needs.
Comparative clinical study of the effect of oral clonidine premedication on intraoperative haemodynamics in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Authors: Kotwani Deepti M. , Kotwani Manish B. , Kamdar Beena
Published: February 2017

Background: Pneumoperitoneum created during laparoscopy results in patho-physiologic changes, especially in the cardiovascular system. Clonidine diminishes stress response by reducing circulating catecholamines and hence increases perioperative circulatory stability in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries. This comparative clinical study was planned compare with controls the effects of oral clonidine premedication (150 micrograms) on the intraoperative haemodynamics during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: Sixty adult patients between 15-50 years, scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to two study groups of 30 patients each, Group CL: received oral clonidine (150 microgram) 90 minutes before induction of anaesthesia and Group C: received placebo. Anaesthetic technique was same for both the study groups. Hemodynamic variables (Heart rate, systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and EtCO2 were recorded at specific times - baseline; 90 minutes following study drug administration; induction of anaesthesia; 5 and 10 minutes following intubation; At skin incision; after creation of CO2 pneumoperitoneum and every 15 minutes thereafter till end of surgery; after desufflation; 5 minutes following extubation.Results: Patients in clonidine group had lower HR, SBP and DBP values as compared to control group at all points of time after giving the study drug (P <0.05). Percent change from baseline in HR and Blood pressure at different points of time was significantly high in control group than in clonidine group.Conclusions: Oral clonidine premedication (150 micrograms) is safe and provides perioperative hemodynamic stability in ASA I and II patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and hence can be recommended as a routine premedication for laparoscopic procedures.

Authors: Asokan Senthil , Narasimhan Murali , V. Rajagopalan
Published: February 2017

Background: Over the past few decades, the developments in the field of Nephrology have improved the life expectancy of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This situation provides more time for the dermatological conditions to manifest. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the different clinical patterns of cutaneous manifestations in chronic kidney disease and also to compare the cutaneous manifestations in CKD patients on dialysis and medical management.

Methods:. 120 consecutive cases of chronic kidney disease were included in the study. This included inpatients and outpatients, patients on medical management as well as those undergoing hemodialysis. A detailed history was taken and complete dermatological examination was performed. Digital photographs of skin lesions were taken. Relevant investigations like complete blood counts, blood urea, serum creatinine, serum electrolytes were performed routinely. Special investigations like KOH mount for fungus, Tzanck smear and skin biopsies were performed when clinically indicated.

Results: The number of cutaneous manifestations present in each patient is compared based on severity and duration of CKD. 82.8% of patients with severe CKD had more than one dermatoses compared to 60% of patients with mild CKD. So, multiple cutaneous manifestations could be found in the same patient, as the severity of CKD increases. Xerosis and hyperpigmentation were more prevalent in patients undergoing dialysis than those on medical management alone.
Conclusion: In patients with CKD xerosis, pruritus, pigmentation, nail changes and cutaneous infections were the predominant cutaneous manifestations. The prevalence of xerosis and hyperpigmentation were higher in patients with longer duration of disease and increased as the severity of CKD increased. The prevalence of pruritus was independent of the duration and severity of CKD.

Realizou-se uma análise faunística e da sazonalidade dos insetos edáficos coletados em quatro ecossistemas da Área de Proteção Ambiental do Araripe, Barbalha-CE. Coletas semanais foram conduzidas em mata úmida, Arajara Park, área agrícola e fragmento de mata, de 03 de setembro de 2010 a 22 de fevereiro de 2011 (estação chuvosa) e de 01 de março a 30 de agosto de 2011 (estação seca), em Barbalha, Ceará, utilizando a armadilha pitfall. A fauna encontrada nos diferentes ecossistemas foi caracterizada por meio dos índices de frequência, dominância, abundância, constância e riqueza. Os insetos edáficos ocorrem com maior abundância na estação chuvosa da Área de Proteção Ambiental do Araripe, com maior concentração na mata úmida, sendo que os Coleoptera são mais ricos em número de famílias e espécimes nos quatro ecossistemas, tanto na estação chuvosa como na seca. Já os Hymenoptera, da família Formicidae, ocorrem frequentemente em todos os ecossistemas, predominando na área agrícola da estação chuvosa as formigas cortadeiras, enquanto que os Orthoptera Gryllidae e os Hemiptera Cydnidae predominam no fragmento de mata, onde os grilos ocorrem tanto na estação chuvosa como seca na mesma frequência, e os percevejos castanhos ocorrem com maior frequência somente na estação chuvosa. Os Coleoptera Nitidulidae predominam na mata úmida da estação chuvosa devido à presença de frutos silvestres em processo de fermentação, enquanto que os Coleoptera Bostrichidae predominam no Arajara Park, na estação chuvosa, devido à presença de madeiras e árvores caídas utilizadas na construção das instalações do balneário.

Authors: Gunawan Rahmat , Radiman Cynthia Linaya , Martoprawiro Muhamad Abdulkadir , Dipojono Hermawan K.
Published: February 2017

The Hydrogen storage based-graphite materials have been investigated theoretically via Density Functional Theory (DFT) approach. The native graphite was compared to the modified graphite, namely the intercalation graphite (GICs, graphite intercalated compounds). Here the GICs was intercalated by alkali metals (Li, Na and K). The electronic structures, energetics and atomic orbital contributions of hydrogen-graphite system, GICs, and hydrogen-GICs were studied by calculation approach of gradient corrected PBE (Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof) for recovery of exchange-correlation energy. The calculation was supported by using basis set of the plane waves whereas the computation of electron-core by using Ultrasoft Vanderbilt pseudopotential. The computational calculation provides four main studies i.e. molecular geometry relaxation, determination of electronic bands structure of energy, energy state density (DOS) and atomic orbital contribution by charge density differences.Keywords: Density Functional Theory, hydrogen gas, graphite intercalated material

O artigo analisa a origem das universidades, suas lutas pela autonomia, organização das estruturas administrativa e curricular e relata a existência das bibliotecas ligadas às universidades, desde a Idade Média até a Modernidade. No século XIX a educação é assumida pelo Estado, criando uma cobertura legal que garante às universidades a liberdade científica e pedagógica. A biblioteca universitária teve o seu desenvolvimento ao longo dos séculos, tentando acompanhar essas mudanças. Mas, é no decorrer desse século que alguns serviços e foram surgindo os entendimentos da relação da biblioteca com a universidade. Entretanto, foi a partir da Segunda Guerra que o ensino começa a ter característica de atividade de massa, e a biblioteca universitária se torna uma parte importante na universidade. Cresce a ênfase ao acesso às coleções, há financiamento do Estado para desenvolvimento de coleções e estruturação de suas bibliotecas, dão-se início às atividades de cooperação e de automação. Estas começam a mudar a forma como são oferecidos os serviços e produtos das bibliotecas universitárias. A partir de 1970, as novas tecnologias penetram nessas áreas, e as universidades e suas bibliotecas são afetadas por tais tecnologias. Propostas de reformas surgem gerando novos desafios para estas duas instituições centenárias.
Dietary Practices and Nutritional Status of Elderly having Varied Dental Status
Authors: Chamoli Ritushri , Gupta Shipra
Published: February 2017

Advancing age brings with it lots of physiological changes in the body and loss of teeth is one of them. Lack of appropriate dental health may pose difficulties which may make the elderly vulnerable to dietary restrictions with possible consequences on their nutritional status. The present study was undertaken to assess and compare the dietary practices and nutritional status of elderly having varied dental status. A total of 90 free living elderly men and women (60 - 80 years) belonging to middle income group; 30 using no dentures, 30 with fixed dentures/ implants and 30 using removable dentures constituted the study sample. Data were gathered from the subjects using a questionnaire-cum-interview schedule and one day 24 hour diet recall method. Anthropometric measurements were also taken. The findings revealed that elderly using removable or fixed dentures/ implants had better self-perception about their dental status, experienced less discomfort while eating and had lower adverse effect on their chewing ability as compared to non-denture wearers. Elderly with fixed dental implants also had slightly better intakes of more nutrients, however, no distinct pattern was observed between the elderly from different groups. Elderly, not using any dentures in spite of having less number of natural teeth experienced reduced pleasure in eating different types of foods and were at the maximum risk of a compromised nutritional status among the three study groups. It could be concluded that getting their lost teeth replaced either as fixed implants or using removable dentures may help elderly enjoy a variety of foods and meet their nutritional requirements optimally.
Potential Adherence of Flue Gas Desulfurization Gypsum to Forage as a Consideration for Excessive Ingestion by Ruminants
Authors: Torbert H. A. , Chaney R. L. , Watts D. B.
Published: February 2017

Gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate, CaSO4⋅2H2O) has long been used to improve soils and crop production, and its use has recently been encouraged by the USDA–NRCS for soil conservation through a new Conservation Practice Standard: Code 333. However, there is concern regarding the adverse effects of excessive direct ingestion of sulfate in gypsum by ruminants. The standard requires ruminants to be removed from grazing after application until after a rainfall, but there has been no research documenting gypsum adherence to forage or the potential for rainfall to reduce gypsum adherence. A study was established to examine the adherence and persistence of gypsum on different forage species. Two forages (bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon L.] and tall fescue [Festuca arundinacea Schreb.]) were examined after gypsum applications at rates of 0, 1, and 5 Mg ha−1. The forage was sampled immediately after application, 1 wk after application, after a 1.5‐cm rain, and after a 3.3‐cm rain. Immediately after gypsum application, more gypsum adhered to the tall fescue (27.9 g gypsum kg−1) compared with bermudagrass (8.6 g gypsum kg−1), likely due to differences in the leaf structure. This represents S concentrations of 0.16 and 0.52% for any grazing ruminants feeding exclusively on the bermudagrass and tall fescue pastures. On succeeding sampling dates, substantial amounts of gypsum persisted only on the wider‐leaved tall fescue. With tall fescue, a difference in gypsum adherence could be observed after a 1.5‐cm rain, but no significant difference was observed between the gypsum application and the control after an additional 3.3‐cm rain. Results indicate that care should be observed with grazing after gypsum application, especially on wide‐leaved forages. However, using application rates within normal agronomic beneficial use guidelines (NRCS standard 333), negative results from direct ingestion of gypsum are not likely if grazing is discontinued several weeks and until a rainfall event occurs.

Core Ideas

Gypsum adherence to forage may be risk for PEM for ruminants feeding exclusively on pasture.

Gypsum adherence was greater on tall fescue than bermudagrass, likely due to leaf structure.

No gypsum adherence was observed after a second rainfall, indicating gypsum can be washed off.

Normal application rates are not likely to result in S concentrations sufficient to cause PEM.

Many farmers in West and Central Africa (WCA) prefer tall (>3 m) grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] for various reasons. This study seeks to determine (i) what yield superiority newly bred, tall, photoperiod‐sensitive guinea‐race sorghum hybrids can provide relative to an adapted landrace variety across a wide range of productivity conditions, and (ii) the risk of these hybrids failing to provide yield superiority for individual farmers. Seven hybrids, one local check, and eight pure‐line progenies were evaluated in 37 farmer‐managed, on‐farm yield trials across three Malian zones and 3 yr. Environments were classified into four productivity groups (low [0.78–1.10 Mg ha−1], mid‐low [1.10–1.50 Mg ha−1], mid‐high [1.50–2.00 Mg ha−1] and high [2.00–2.65 Mg ha−1]) based on their trial mean grain yield. Mean yields of the seven tall hybrids were 3 to 17% (ranging from 0.06 to 0.28 Mg ha−1) higher than that of the local check across all environments and were highest (14–47%) averaged across the seven trials with the lowest mean yields. The individual overall highest‐yielding hybrid showed superiorities over the local check in the low, mid‐low, mid‐high, and high productivity levels of 0.43 (47%), 0.14 (10%), 0.47 (27%), and 0.34 (14%) Mg ha−1, respectively. The tall hybrids rarely had yields significantly inferior to the local check. Farmers’ preference for, and the possible benefits of, taller plant types may lead farmers to grow tall hybrids, particularly under the typical low‐productivity production conditions of WCA.

A artrite idiopática juvenil é uma doença inflamatória crônica das articulações, com início antes dos 16 anos de idade, após exclusão de outras causas. Glicocorticóides são utilizados para seu tratamento, podendo ocasionar eventos adversos metabólicos. Devido ao fato de existirem publicações inconclusivas sobre o tema, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática. Foram pesquisadas as bases Pubmed, LILACS, Scopus e Web of Science. A seleção de resumos e artigos completos e extração de dados com formulário específico foram realizadas de forma independente por dois pares de revisores. As buscas resultaram em 106 resumos dos quais selecionamos 12. Foram incluídos quatro artigos que avaliaram 470 pacientes. Os principais efeitos foram síndrome de Cushing e catarata. Os resultados demonstram que o tratamento da artrite idiopática juvenil com glicocorticóides causa efeitos adversos que devem ser melhor monitorizados. Há necessidade da realização de mais estudos prospectivos sobre os efeitos dos mesmos no tratamento da artrite idiopática juvenil.

The purpose of this study is to consider cultural issues in the context of the teaching of science in Indonesia. The connection between students’ culture, home experiences and experiential knowledge of students which is identified as funds of knowledge have been incorporated into learning science. This study took place within two sub-urban Junior High Schools in Indonesia. Two teachers and 173 students (94 males and 79 females) participated in this study. This study findings reveals that “compatibility” between students’ real-life experiences, their funds of knowledge, and science concepts can be the major factor in sustaining science learning in science classes. It is important worthwhile to develop the teaching and learning of science which put emphasis on incorporating students’ funds of knowledge especially in presenting science that is relevant to students’ everyday life.

Background and objectives

Our study explored the association of histopathologic classification of ANCA-associated GN with renal survival in Chinese patients with myeloperoxidase-ANCA–associated GN.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

Two hundred fifteen patients with biopsy-proven myeloperoxidase-ANCA–associated GN were included from January of 1996 to December of 2014. The biopsies included focal (n=27), mixed (n=82), crescentic (n=47), and sclerotic (n=59) classes. The long-term renal outcome and risk factors of myeloperoxidase-ANCA–associated GN for different histopathologic classes were retrospectively analyzed.

Results

During a median follow-up time of 22 (9–51) months, 88 (40.9%) patients reached ESRD. The 5-year renal survival (overall 58.7%) was highest in the focal class (100.0%) and lowest in the sclerotic class (20.7%), with no difference between the mixed (58.9%) and crescentic (67.4%) classes. Patients in the mixed (hazard ratio, 0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.20 to 0.57; P<0.001) and crescentic (hazard ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.16 to 0.59; P<0.001) classes were at lower risk for ESRD compared with patients in the sclerotic class, as were patients who received glucocorticoids plus mycophenolate mofetil (hazard ratio, 0.32; 95% confidence interval, 0.18 to 0.60; P<0.001) compared with those receiving glucocorticoids alone. In addition, patients with a serum creatinine level ≥4 mg/dl (hazard ratio, 2.93; 95% confidence interval, 1.77 to 4.85; P<0.001) or hypoalbuminemia (hazard ratio, 2.11; 95% confidence interval, 1.32 to 3.34; P=0.002) were at higher risk for ESRD. A serum creatinine level ≥4 mg/dl and a percentage of global sclerotic glomeruli ≥60% were the two independent risk factors for ESRD in the sclerotic class.

Conclusions

The histopathologic classification of ANCA-associated GN in combination with serum creatinine and serum albumin levels and treatment regimen is associated with renal outcome in myeloperoxidase-ANCA–associated GN. The evaluation of serum creatinine level and percentage of global sclerotic glomeruli provides additional information on the risk of renal survival in the sclerotic class of myeloperoxidase-ANCA–associated GN.

Background and objectives

Prior work has suggested a higher risk of hypertension in kidney stone formers but lacked disease validation and adjustment for potential confounders. Certain types of stone formers may also be at higher risk of hypertension.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

In our study, incident symptomatic stone formers in Olmsted County from 2000 to 2011 were manually validated by chart review and age and sex matched to Olmsted County controls. We followed up patients through November 20, 2015. Hypertension was also validated by manual chart review, and the risk of hypertension in stone formers compared with controls was assessed both univariately and after adjusting for comorbidities. The risk of hypertension among different subtypes of stone formers was also evaluated.

Results

Among 3023 coded stone formers from 2000 to 2011, a total of 1515 were validated and matched to 1515 controls (mean age was 45 years old, and 56% were men). After excluding those with baseline hypertension (20% of stone formers and 18% of controls), 154 stone formers and 110 controls developed hypertension. Median follow-up time was 7.8 years in stone formers and 9.6 years in controls. Stone formers were found to have a higher risk of hypertension compared with controls (hazard ratio, 1.50; 95% confidence interval, 1.18 to 1.92), even after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, serum creatinine, CKD, diabetes, gout, coronary artery disease, dyslipidemia, tobacco use, and alcohol abuse (hazard ratio, 1.58; 95% confidence interval, 1.12 to 2.21). Results were similar after excluding patients who were ever on a thiazide diuretic (hazard ratio, 1.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.16 to 2.38). Stone composition, radiographic stone burden, number of subsequent stone events, and stone removal surgeries were not associated with hypertension (P>0.05 for all).

Conclusions

The risk of hypertension was higher after the first symptomatic kidney stone event. However, kidney stone severity, type, and treatment did not associate with hypertension.
