Papel do cirurgião bucomaxilofacial nas unidades de terapia intensiva
Authors: Riboli Rafaela , Pinheiro Siqueira Simone , De Conto Ferdinando
Published: December 2016

Objetivo: fazer uma revisão da literatura que trata das atividades que o cirurgião bucomaxilofacial realiza em pacientes internados nas unidades de terapia intensiva (UTIs). Revisão de literatura: o zelo com a saúde do paciente em âmbito hospitalar exige que esse trabalho seja realizado por uma equipe multiprofissional, o que demandou a inserção da odontologia nesse ambiente. O ganho de espaço nessas equipes ocorreu, principal-mente, devido a estudos epidemiológicos, efetuados ao longo dos anos, que mostraram a correlação entre a saúde bucal e a sistêmica. De modo geral, o cirurgião bucomaxilofacial atua no hospital para auxiliar tanto no manejo de pacientes internados em leitos ou em unidades de terapia intensiva quanto para realizar procedimentos orais contraindicados em consultórios odontológicos convencionais. Considerações finais: os pacientes internados nas UTIs estão com seu esta-do clínico comprometido, estando mais susceptíveis a infecções, e por esse motivo devem receber cuidado odontológico constante como parte integrante da atenção para assegurar a saúde geral.

Published: December 2016

Objetivo: avaliar a influência do número de imersões em ácido peracético na colonização bacteriana, na composição química, na rugosidade e na capacidade de recuperação após a deformação de tubos endotraqueais. Materiais e método: quatro tubos foram sub-metidos a sucessivas imersões em ácido peracético, constituindo quatro grupos: um controle (esterilizado pelo fabricante) e outros submetidos a uma, duas ou três imersões, de forma a simular o reprocessamento dos tubos. Os ensaios realizados foram: espectroscopia de infravermelho, rugosidade superficial, deformação da luz do tubo após compressão e colonização por Staphylococcus aureus. Resultados: o número de imersões (reprocessamento) não influenciou a colonização dos tubos por Staphylococcus aureus (p = 0,235), nem a composição química, nem a rugosidade (p = 0,621). Além disso, não houve diferença na capacidade do tubo em recuperar-se após deformação (p = 0,633). Conclusão: o reprocessamento por até três vezes não traz prejuízo às propriedades do material e não aumenta a colonização bacteriana na superfície dos tubos.

Published: December 2016

Objetivo: avaliar a conduta dos alunos do curso de Odontologia de um centro universitário em relação ao controle de infecção cruzada, comparando a conduta dos alunos iniciantes e concluintes. Sujeitos e método: a amostra, composta por 201 alunos, foi dividida em dois grupos (iniciantes e concluintes) e aplicou-se um questionário estruturado abordando as questões relativas ao uso de equipamento de proteção individual (EPI), etapas da esterilização, acondicionamento
do material estéril, desinfecção e barreiras de superfícies. Foi realizada a análise descritiva e comparativa dos dados utilizando-se o teste do Qui-Quadrado, com um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: a maioria
(97%) dos alunos utiliza o EPI, porém, 16,4% e 29,8% não descartam máscaras e gorro, respectivamente, sendo a maioria concluinte. Das etapas de esterilização, 93,5% realizam a lavagem do instrumental e 59,2% negligenciam a desinfecção pré-lavagem. A desinfecção de superfícies foi realizada por 89,6% dos alunos e 94,5% utilizam barreiras de proteção. Os concluintes realizam menos desinfecção de superfície e esterilizam menos as peças de mão, e 93% dos alunos acondicionam o material estéril no escaninho pessoal. Conclusão: a conduta dos alunos em relação ao uso de EPI, à realização do processo de desinfecção e ao uso de barreiras de superfícies apresenta-se satisfatória quando
comparada a outros estudos. Nas etapas de esterilização, a principal falha está na desinfecção pré-lavagem,independente do período. Em geral, alunos concluintes apresentaram mais desvio de conduta em relação às normas de biossegurança, o que ressalta a necessidade de outros estudos para identificação dos motivos desse comportamento.

Authors: De Lima Anna Letícia Xavier , De Souza Paulo Henrique , Amorim Débora Michelle Gonçalves , Caldas Sergei Godeiro Fernandes Rabelo , Galvão Marília Regalado
Published: December 2016

Introdução: uma polimerização adequada é crucial para a obtenção das propriedades físicas ideais e o desempenho clínico das resinas compostas. Objetivo: avaliar o grau de conversão (GC) e dureza de resinas compostas fotoativadas com diferentes potências e tempos de polimerização. Materiais e método: foram confeccionados oitenta (n = 80) corpos de prova de re-sina composta (FiltekTM Z350 XT na cor A2B) com 4 mm de diâmetro e 2 mm de espessura, desses, quarenta (n = 40) foram destinados à avaliação do grau de conversão e quarenta (n = 40) para dureza. Foram feitos dez (n = 10) corpos de prova para cada grupo avaliado, sendo cinco para avaliar o grau de conversão e cinco, a
dureza (P10T2, P7T2, P4T2, P1T2, P10T4, P7T4, P4T4, P1T4). Tendo as resinas do grau de conversão e de dureza fotoativadas por LEDS em 20 segundos na intensidade de potência de 1.000 mW/cm2, 700 mW/cm2, 400 mW/cm2 e 100 mW/cm2, os grupos P10T2, P7T2, P4T2 e P1T2, respectivamente. Os grupos P10T4, P7T4, P4T4 e P1T4 foram polimerizados na mesma intensidade de potência de luz, no entanto, com tempo de 40 segundos. Resultado: em relação ao grau de conversão, as resinas do P1T2 tiveram o menor valor, alcançado em média 22,67%, e o P10T4, com média 87,09%, alcançou o maior valor. Em relação à dureza, as resinas do P1T2 tiveram também a pior média, com 30,93 Kgf/mm², e o P10T4, a melhor média, com 82,02 Kgf/mm².
Conclusão: quanto maior a potência do aparelho foto-polimerizador, maior será o GC e a dureza das resinas compostas. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que um aparelho com intensidade de 100 mW/cm² não oferece um grau de conversão e dureza satisfatório, comprometendo o desempenho do material restaurador.
Elementos contribuintes para a aplicação da Odontologia baseada em evidências: parte I
Authors: Rodrigues Junior Sinval Adalberto
Published: December 2016

A Odontologia baseada em evidências (OBE) visa racionalizar a prática odontológica com base na melhor evidência científica disponível, na experiência clínica sistematizada e nas preferências e condições dos pacientes. Objetivos: este estudo apresenta elementos que fundamentam a OBE e orientam a busca de evidências acerca de intervenções terapêuticas em odontologia. Revisão de literatura: a tradução da evidência gerada em pesquisas para a aplicabilidade clínica é fundamental para respaldar o atendimento clínico e é mediada por revisões sistemáticas de literatura. Essas revisões podem ser feitas em estudos primários in vitro ou em ensaios clínicos controlados randomizados (ECCRs). A busca por referências que apresentem as evidências de dado assunto é construída a partir de uma pergunta estruturada com o tipo de paciente/problema/população, a intervenção, as comparações entre alternativas e o desfecho esperado. A(s) estratégia(s) de busca deve(m) ser aplicada(s) a mais de uma base de dados de referências, incluindo necessariamente o Medline-PubMed e a Biblioteca Cochrane de revisões sistemáticas e ECCRs. Quando a pergunta visa responder a uma dúvida terapêutica, os maiores níveis de evidência são apresentados por revisões sistemáticas de literatura e ECCRs. Considerações finais: a OBE é um movimento irreversível sobre como pensar o cuidado com a saúde e, portanto, deve ser abordada em todas as áreas de atuação da odontologia, tanto na graduação quanto na pós-graduação. Esta revisão de literatura apresentou elementos para a construção da pergunta clínica e das estratégias de busca por alternativas terapêuticas em odontologia.

Análise temporal e comparação de gravações do excerto orquestral para flauta do Prélude à l´après-midi d´un faune de Claude Debussy
Authors: Sinico André , Gerling Cristina Capparelli
Published: December 2016

O presente estudo visa analisar alguns aspectos temporais do excerto orquestral para flauta do Prélude à l´après-midi d´un faune de Claude Debussy. Para tal, foram selecionadas dez vídeos de gravações ao vivo de orquestras profissionais europeias no sítio do YouTube. Os quatro primeiros compassos que constituem o solo de flauta foram analisados por meio do Sonic Visualiser e comparados quanto ao andamento, acurácia rítmica e rubato. Como resultados, não encontramos um andamento em comum entre as gravações, porém observamos a utilização pródiga do rubato em contradição à literatura (McCutchan, 1994; Lord, 1998; Buck, 2003; Rodrigues, 2015). Por fim, discutimos também a influência da respiração sob o timing em relação as demais competências técnico-interpretativas como estilo, fraseado e expressividade musical.

There are many risks and benefits of performing and publishing of H5N1 studies in the United States. Some restriction in DURC are needed to take place to make sure the benefits outweigh the risks, so research could be performed to ensure the global health.
In vivo Anti-Cancer Activity of N-halamines
Authors: Zahran Faten , Keshta Akaber T. , Ahmed Abd El-Shafey I.
Published: December 2016

Purpose: N-halamines were known for their antimicrobial action due to the presence of halogen in their structure. In our search for new anti-cancer agents, we have evaluated the anti-cancer and anti-oxidant properties of some synthetic N-Halamines with high and low molecular weight in comparison with their non-halogenated forms. Urea epichlorohydrin copolymer (1), 4(1H, 3H-2, 6-dioxo-1, 3, 5-trizenyl)-O-iminomethylpolyethylene (3) and cynuric acid (5) in addition to their halogenated forms 2, 4 and 6 were selected for this study. Methodology: the toxicity for the synthesized compounds was determined. The anti-cancer and anti-oxidant activities were studied by evaluation the viability of tumor cells, life span prolongation, and estimation of antioxidants, and effects of these compounds on liver histology. Findings: Doses up to 2000 mg/kg indicated good safety in all investigated compounds. In Vivo antitumor activity results against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells for the investigated compounds revealed that, the volume of ascites was significantly decreased in compounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 treated groups. EAC cell count was significantly reduced for similar groups, respectively, compared to the positive control group. Malonadildehyde, and nitric oxide showed a significant reduction in their levels in the treated groups, while catalase showed a significant elevation in its activity in the same groups compared to positive control group. Conclusion: Halogenated compounds showed good anti-oxidant behavior while compound 6 showed the best anti-tumor effect.
First-passage Time Estimation of Diffusion Processes through Time-Varying Boundaries with an Application in Finance
Authors: Allab Imene , Watier Francois
Published: December 2016

In this paper, we develop a Monte Carlo based algorithm for estimating the FPT (first passage time) density of the solution of a one-dimensional time-homogeneous SDE (stochastic differential equation) through a time-dependent frontier. We consider Brownian bridges as well as local Daniels curve approximations to obtain tractable estimations of the FPT probability between successive points of a simulated path of the process. Under mild assumptions, a (unique) Daniels curve local approximation caneasily be obtained by explicitly solving a non-linear system of equations.
Characteristics of static and dynamic loading of the plantar surface of the foot in women with hallux valgus deformity
Authors: Masłoń Agata , Czechowska Dorota , Szczygieł Elżbieta , Golec Joanna
Published: December 2016

Hallux valgus is one of the most common foot deformations, which occurs twice as frequently in women than in men. The aim of the study was to evaluate the feet soles pressure distribution pattern of young women with hallux valgus deformity.

The study sample consisted of 23 young women (21-27 years). Among the participants, 14 demonstrated the presence of single- or double-sided hallux valgus (study group – a total of 22 feet with hallux valgus) and 15 women had the correct angle of the big toe for one or both feet (control group – a total of 23 feet without deformation). The research tool was the Podoscan 2D platform and the FreeMED force platform (Sensor Medica, Italy). Using the FreeStep Professional software on the plantocontourograms of the feet, the angle of hallux valgus was determined (ALFA angle). In statics the following parameters were assessed: maximal fore- and rear-foot loading, percentage loading of forefoot and the Weissflog indicator, and in dynamics (gait): the percentage loading of forefoot and medial part of the foot, the value of maximum foot pressure and the passage point of the center of pressure line.

There were no differences between the study and control group regarding loading of the fore- and rear-foot or pressure distribution pattern on the lateral and medial side of the foot, however, statistically significant differences were observed in the value of the Weissflog indicator and the exit place of the center of pressure line.

1. Hallux valgus deformity changes the foot rollover pattern, in which instead of the big toe as the main place to transfer forces during the fi nal support phase, the increased load is transferred through the second foot ray. 2. hallux valgus promotes fl attening of the transverse arch of the foot. 3. changes in foot pressure pattern observed in the group of women with hallux valgus are not dependent on the valgus angle.

The occurrence and significance of coexisting diseases and disorders in the process of diagnosis and treatment of sensory integration disorders – preliminary report
Authors: Zdzienicka-Chyła Agnieszka
Published: December 2016

Therapy of sensory processing disorders is becoming more widespread and available as a therapeutic method, and supports the development of a child. Recently, the availability of classes conducted using this method has greatly increased, and more and more children are beginning to take part in these therapeutic activities. Sensory processing disorders have signiﬁ cant impact on the functioning of a child. The study was conducted to answer the question of whether and how co-existing diseases and disorders can affect the process of diagnosis and therapy in the ﬁ eld of sensory processing disorders. The study included a group of children reported to diagnosis for sensory integration disorders at the Center for Sensory Integration Disorders and Rehabilitation in Lublin between 2012-2014. All subjects lived in the Lublin Voivodeship. We analyzed records of 40 children aged 2 years 6 months to 9 years 8 months, for whom the diagnosis was carried out in the direction of sensory processing disorders, and their diagnosis indicated a sensory integration dysfunction. At the time of beginning therapy, on the basis of interviews conducted with parents/legal guardians, co-existing diseases or disorders related to 37% of those undergoing therapy. Additional tests and consultations, conducted already in the course of therapy, showed co-existing disorders or diseases for a larger group of children - data collected during the 6-month period from the beginning of treatment showed that 65% of children required care of a specialist clinic. The largest group were children who required additional orthoptic therapy. Knowledge of co-existing diseases and disorders is a condition making the therapy safe and effective.

Carandiru: os usos da memória de um massacre
Authors: Borges Viviane Trindade
Published: December 2016

O massacre do Carandiru, ocorrido em 1992, é caracterizado como um marco simbólico na história do sistema penal brasileiro. A rememoração desse passado dialoga com questões como a dimensão do ocorrido, a impunidade, a tentativa de apagamento e conformação da memória e a instituição do massacre como metáfora para novas tragédias. Nesse processo é possível observar a construção de dois passados possíveis: um empreendido pelo Estado, instituindo uma memória oficial, e outro ligado a diferentes segmentos da sociedade civil organizada. Analisarei os usos dessa memória e suas estratégias de rememoração, categorias estas entendidas a partir da história do tempo presente e da história pública. Palavras-chave: Carandiru; Memória; História Pública; História do Tempo Presente.

Authors: Ramos Márcia Elisa Teté
Published: December 2016

Pretende-se divulgar resultados da pesquisa sobre como jovens estudantes do Ensino Médio das escolas públicas de Londrina - PR se apropriam da história/memória da cidade. Retomam-se os três estudos realizados segundo a “teoria fundamentada” (Grounded Theory): estudo exploratório (com Grupo Focal e brainstorming), estudo piloto (história hipotética) e estudo principal (netnografia). Este último, destacando duas questões que implicavam em análise de fontes históricas pelos estudantes. Utilizam-se como referenciais dois campos investigativos diferentes, mas interdependentes em alguns pontos: Didática da História e Educação Histórica. As ideias históricas dos alunos remetem à permanência de uma História Oficial/Tradicional sobre a cidade, mas nos mostra a potencialidade para a explicação histórica quando se tem possibilidade de debate, imaginação histórica capaz de construir empatia e interpretação comparativa de fontes históricas. Palavras-chave: História; Ensino Médio; Estudo e Ensino; Londrina (PR); Cidades e Vilas.
Monumento Estela de Luz: disputas en torno a los usos públicos de la historia en el México del Bi/Centenario
Authors: Vargas Álvarez Sebastián
Published: December 2016

Este artículo parte de la premisa de que actualmente es imprescindible para los historiadores reconocer la importancia de la vida pública y de los usos públicos de la historia, e involucrarse activamente en los debates sobre la representación del pasado en contextos que exceden la práctica disciplinar y los espacios académicos. Para ello, se propone un caso de estudio concreto: la Estela de Luz, monumento erigido en México, en el 2010, ocasión del Bicentenario de la Independencia y Centenario de la Revolución. Un examen de la historicidad de la Estela –de su planeamiento y ejecución; de sus críticas y resignificaciones–, permite dar cuenta de las maneras en que diversos actores sociales contienden en la arena pública por el sentido de la historia. Palabras clave: Monumento, Usos públicos de la historia, México, Bi/Centenario, Estela de Luz.

Effect of Nanocrystalline Diamond Films Deflection on Wear Observed in Reciprocating Sliding Tests
Authors: Podgursky V. , Bogatov A. , Sobolev S. , Viljus M. , Sedov V. , Ashkinazi E.
Published: December 2016

The present study deals with the tribological behavior of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films. The diamond films were deposited by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) in methane/hydrogen/air plasma on the Si(100) substrates. The tribological properties were studied by reciprocal sliding tests against Si3N4 balls. The depth profiles and surface morphology of the wear scars were investigated by means of mechanical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Various adaptation processes occur between contacting surfaces including asperity polishing, formation of carbonaceous tribolayer and ripple patterns on the wear scar surfaces. The film deflection is the specific form of adaptation decreasing contact pressure and, therefore, the damage (including wear) of both counter bodies. The deflection of NCD films in sliding tests can be related with the effect of fatigue.
Non-Destructive Evaluation of Protective Coatings on AA2024-T3 Aluminum Alloy Used in Aeronautical Parts by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
Authors: Robin Alain , Pacheco Luis Gustavo , Lourenço Júlio César
Published: December 2016

Plasma treatments have faced growing interest as important strategy to modify the hydrophobic/hydrophilic characteristics of materials. However, challenges related to the plasma modification of polymers are the improvement of the chemical resistance without decreasing the mechanical resistance. In this letter, we present for the first time a plasma treatment, using Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), analogous to vulcanization process, of natural rubber surface, which resulted in a chemical and tension resistance improvements. The natural rubber membranes were coated with glow discharge plasmas generated in sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) atmospheres at a total pressure of 160 mTorr and applying 70 W of radiofrequency. Plasma treatment increases the contact angles from 64° to 125° i.e. leading to a hydrophobic surface. The tension at rupture increased from 3.7 to 6.1 MPa compared to natural rubber without plasma treatment demonstrated by stress-strain investigation. These results provide a fast alternative approach to improve mechanical and chemical properties of rubber-based products.

An improved comprehensive evaluation method, is designed for the assessment by optimizing initial weights and thresholds of back propagation (BP) neural network using genetic algorithm. By empirical study conducted in one air traffic control sector, 400 sets of sample data are selected and divided into 350 sets for network training and 50 sets for network testing, and the architecture of genetic algorithm-based back propagation (GABP) neural network is established as a three-layer network with 17 nodes in input layer, 5 nodes in hidden layers, and 1 node in output layer. Further testing with both GABP and traditional BP neural network reveals that GABP neural network performs betterthan BP neural work in terms of mean error, mean square error and error probability, indicating that GABP neural network can assess operational performance of air traffic control sector with high accuracy and stable generalization ability. The multivariate detection index system and GABP neural network method in this paper can provide comprehensive, accurate, reliable and practical operational performance assessment of air traffic control sector, which enable the frontline of air traffic service provider to detect and evaluate operational performance of air traffic control sector in real time, and trigger an alarm when necessary.

The aim of this paper is the analysis of indicators of corporate responsibility in road freight transport, with special emphasis on freight transport and delivery to Fast Moving Consumers Goods (FMCG) retailers and final consumer. The main task is to rank the importance of corporate responsibility indicators in freight transport from the perspective of the management of transport companies, as well as management of retail stores. In this context, empirical research was conducted on a sample of 124 managers of transport enterprises and 181 managers of FMCG retailers in Serbia. The results showed that the impact of indicators does not depend on the region, transport company and retail store. The indicators show a statistically significant dependence on FMCG type that is being transported. The conducted analysis and achieved results are important in practice as they show to the management of transport companies which indicators should be developed, so that customers (retailers), and thus the users of final products are satisfied. Disadvantages of the existing research and suggestions for future studies are provided in the paper.

Published: December 2016

Level crossing (LC) accidents are a significant safety challenge worldwide and for that reason they have been subject of numerous research activities. Joint conclusion is that human behaviour is the main cause of accidents. This study examines how and to which extent certain influential parameters cause accident mechanisms on level crossings. To gain the necessary data we used an on-line survey questionnaire that was sent internationally to key experts in the field of road and railway safety. A total of 185 experts were asked to rank how much certain parameters influence level crossings accident mechanisms and what are the best countermeasures for diminishing accidents at level crossings. To our knowledge, this is the first time that an international survey among key experts was used to gain necessary data about influential parameters regarding level crossings safety. The results of this study could be used by road and railway traffic engineers and policy makers for further enhancement of LC’s safety.

x
N multiple quantum wells (MQWs) is proposed. By applying quadratic modulation to AlN mole fractions along the c-axis, local bandgap energies and concentrations of immobile charges induced by polarization discontinuity are simultaneously controlled throughout the MQW structure, and optimized band profiles are eventually achieved. The I
2 value can be substantially increased to 94% when the well width (L
w) is smaller than 4.0 nm. In addition, I
2 greater than 80% is predicted even for thick MQWs with L
w of 10 nm.
Laser-induced actuation of individual microsize liquid metal droplets on an open solid surface

Published: December 2016

The actuation of microsize liquid metal droplets on an open solid surface with laser offset heating is reported in this work. The process allows the droplets to move towards the laser beam center. The analysis of the actuations showed that the droplets were predominantly driven by the thermally induced wettability alteration on the solid; in contrast, Marangoni flow and vapor recoil weakened the motion of the droplets. This indicates that a localized thermal gradient was the driving force for droplet motion and suggests that it may be an alternative actuation technique in manipulating liquid metal droplets for microsystems.
Impact of roll-over-shaped current–voltage characteristics and device properties of Ag(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells
Authors: Umehara Takeshi , Nakada Kazuyoshi , Yamada Akira
Published: December 2016

The roll-over shape often observed in the current–voltage curve of Ag(In,Ga)Se2 (AIGS) solar cells degrades the open circuit voltage (V
OC) and particularly the fill factor (FF). The origin of the roll-over shape was investigated by experimental measurements and device simulation. By combining AC Hall measurement and the peel-off process, we estimated the AIGS hole concentration to be 2.2 × 1012 cm−3. Theoretical simulation revealed that the roll-over shape is attributed to this low hole concentration. Under an applied forward bias, the band bending near the back contact of the AIGS layer forms an intrinsic semiconductor owing to the injected electrons, leading to the formation of an inverted diode. To solve this issue, the addition of NaF by the postdeposition treatment of the AIGS layer was performed. As a result, the hole concentration of the AIGS layer increased, significantly improving its V
OC, FF, and conversion efficiency.

Published: December 2016

Fronts and eddies identified with aerial guidance are seeded with drifters to quantify submesoscale flow kinematics. The Lagrangian observations show mean divergence and vorticity values that can exceed 5 times the Coriolis frequency. Values are the largest observed in the field to date and represent an extreme departure from geostrophic dynamics. The study also quantifies errors and biases associated with Lagrangian observations of the underlying velocity strain tensor. The greatest error results from undersampling, even with a large number of drifters. A significant bias comes from inhomogeneous sampling of convergent regions that accumulate drifters within a few hours of deployment. The study demonstrates a Lagrangian sampling paradigm for targeted submesoscale structures over a broad range of scales and presents flow kinematic values associated with vertical velocities O(10) m h−1 that can have profound implications on ocean biogeochemistry.
Model evidence for low‐level cloud feedback driving persistent changes in atmospheric circulation and regional hydroclimate

Published: December 2016

Recent studies suggest that low clouds in the Pacific play an important role in the observed decadal climate variability and future climate change. In this study, we implement a novel modeling experiment designed to isolate how interactions between local and remote feedbacks associated with low cloud, SSTs, and the large‐scale circulation play a significant role in the observed persistence of tropical Pacific SST and associated North American drought. The modeling approach involves the incorporation of observed patterns of satellite‐derived shortwave cloud radiative effect (SWCRE) into the coupled model framework and is ideally suited for examining the role of local and large‐scale coupled feedbacks and ocean heat transport in Pacific decadal variability. We show that changes in SWCRE forcing in eastern subtropical Pacific alone reproduces much of the observed changes in SST and atmospheric circulation over the past 16 years, including the observed changes in precipitation over much of the Western Hemisphere.
One day prediction of nighttime VLF amplitudes using nonlinear autoregression and neural network modeling
Authors: Santosa H. , Hobara Y.
Published: December 2016

The electric field amplitude of very low frequency (VLF) transmitter from Hawaii (NPM) has been continuously recorded at Chofu (CHF), Tokyo, Japan. The VLF amplitude variability indicates lower ionospheric perturbation in the D region (60–90 km altitude range) around the NPM‐CHF propagation path. We carried out the prediction of daily nighttime mean VLF amplitude by using Nonlinear Autoregressive with Exogenous Input Neural Network (NARX NN). The NARX NN model, which was built based on the daily input variables of various physical parameters such as stratospheric temperature, total column ozone, cosmic rays, Dst, and Kp indices possess good accuracy during the model building. The fitted model was constructed within the training period from 1 January 2011 to 4 February 2013 by using three algorithms, namely, Bayesian Neural Network (BRANN), Levenberg Marquardt Neural Network (LMANN), and Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG). The LMANN has the largest Pearson correlation coefficient (r) of 0.94 and smallest root‐mean‐square error (RMSE) of 1.19 dB. The constructed models by using LMANN were applied to predict the VLF amplitude from 5 February 2013 to 31 December 2013. As a result the one step (1 day) ahead predicted nighttime VLF amplitude has the r of 0.93 and RMSE of 2.25 dB. We conclude that the model built according to the proposed methodology provides good predictions of the electric field amplitude of VLF waves for NPM‐CHF (midlatitude) propagation path.

Published: December 2016

This article deals with polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) using polysiloxanes and low‐molecular‐weight liquid crystals (LCs). These composite materials exhibit generally a film texture consisting of nearly spherical microdomains filled with LC molecules and dispersed in a solid polymer matrix. These compounds are interesting because they raise a number of still unresolved fundamental questions, they lead to applications in the market of display devices and switchable windows and potential applications are foreseen in telecommunications. Applications of these systems are based essentially on their electrooptical responses when they are activated with an electric field. In the common situation of normal mode conditions, PDLC films are initially opaque but they become transparent to incident light when an electric field is applied. Understanding the electrooptical responses requires a detailed investigation of thermophysical properties and morphology to quantify the miscibility parameters and identify textures under various conditions of temperature and composition. This is the first step toward establishing correlations with the electrooptical properties and in particular understanding the variation of light transmission through the film before (off‐state) and after application of the field (on‐state).

This work gives a detailed description of thermophysical and morphology properties in polymer/LC systems made of linear monodisperse polysiloxanes and nematic LCs. Two different polysiloxanes were used: poly(dimethylsiloxane) or PDMS and poly(methylphenylsiloxane) or PMPS with different molecular weights. Likewise, two model LCs were employed: the eutectic mixture of cyanoparaphenylenes E7 and the single component 4‐cyano‐4′‐n‐pentyl‐biphenyl or 5CB. A variety of experimental tools are employed to reach a good view on the film morphology, evaluate the thermophysical parameters, construct the phase diagrams, and understand the structural properties. The experimental data are rationalized in terms of a theoretical formalism adopted to the specific conditions of our systems.

Published: December 2016

Introducing analytic samples into plasma leads to the generation of light and ions. By detecting these ions and light, trace quantities of elements within the samples can be analyzed. The light and ions are generated not only by the high temperature of the plasma but also as a result of the complex atomic/molecular process within plasma. By understanding this process, the characteristics of plasma (e.g. the connection between operating conditions of the analysis equipment and the results of the analysis) and the effect to elements other than analytes, a clear understanding of phenomena such as the matrix effect can be acquired.

This report focuses on the atomic and molecular processes that occur within an argon inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and explains the various characteristics of such plasma.
Surface‐EnhancedRaman Scattering of Biological Materials
Authors: Todorovic Smilja , Murgida Daniel H.
Published: December 2016

Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a very powerful vibrational method that can be applied to a variety of biological samples provided that drawbacks, such as poor reproducibility of the signal and biocompatibility of the substrates, can be satisfactorily overcome. SERS is characterized by very low limits of detection, mainly due to the electromagnetic enhancement of the Raman signals, capable of achieving the single‐molecule level. Moreover, the spectra of small molecules represent authentic molecular fingerprints with very narrow linewidths that, along with the additional enhancement and inter‐/intramolecular selectivity gained through resonant laser excitation (surface‐enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy, SERRS), make this technique particularly suited for multiplexing applications in complex biological samples. In this article, we introduce first the physical principles of SER(R)RS and describe the different types of substrates, as well as the basic modern instrumentation. We then provide an overview of recent biological applications, including biophysical mechanistic and structural studies on isolated biomolecules, their direct and indirect detection, chemical imaging of biological samples, and biomedical applications. Finally, we briefly discuss our outlook for the future research in this field.

Authors: Nishimura Satoshi
Published: December 2016

We made multi‐scale imager including micro 2P XYZT microscope, macro 1P imager, and on‐chip fluorescence imager. We utilized multi‐modalities to cover from micro to macro scale for space and time axis, and we revealed thrombotic and inflammatory processes in diseased conditions.

First one is high resolution imaging system based on non‐linear optics. Real‐time, multi‐color XYZT multi‐photon imaging enabled us to visualize single platelet behavior, morphological changes, and elucidate thrombus formation in cardiovascular events. Second, macro imaging system for awake mice was developed, and free behavior monitoring revealed the tight association between metabolism and vascular reactions for daily stress.. Fluorescent imaging from body surface using 8K CMOS camera, image intensifier, and macro‐lens enabled us to visualize cellular dynamics without anesthesia. Third, wearable and implantable devices for long‐time recording were developed using lens‐less and on‐chip technologies.

We utilized these system with light‐manipulation technique, to induce thrombus or inflammation reactions. We induced thrombus formation by photo‐chemical reactions in vein, and observed rapidly developing thrombi composed of discoid platelets, and elucidated the novel contributing factor; Endothelial cell disruption by laser irradiations induced inflammation and thrombus formation. Remarkable transient neutrophil accumulation was induced, which was followed by spontaneous cell death and monocyte recruitment. Artery contraction reactions were induced by ROS, and elucidated the dynamics NO/ROS balances.

In sum, we developed multi‐scale imaging system which can evaluate the therapeutic strategies against thrombotic and inflammatory processes in adult‐common disease.
