New Method in Evaluating the Formation Damage in Laboratorial Investigations
Authors: Ghofrani R. , Zhang Y. , Bosch V.
Published: March 2012

Today oil and gas wells are drilled using mostly water-based drilling fluids. The introduction of both the mud solids and polymers into the formation, the changed values of fluid's saturation in the pore spaces, the reactions between the filtrate and the pore contents and/or the matrix materials result in a reduction of the formation's original permeability; thus the formation is damaged.

World wide the range of formation damage has been determined by damage ratio DR. The value of damage ratio is mainly affected by the layer with the lowest permeability (filter cake). Therefore the tested cores have to be evaluated in general as damaged over the whole length, which does not correspond with the real case under reservoir conditions.

In this paper a new defined damage ratio has been used to evaluate the core damage using different drilling fluids. It could be demonstrated, that the new defined damage ratio is an expedient value for rocks with excellent original permeabilities, which allows to determine a reliable extent of the damaged zone of the tested core.

Furthermore, it could be verified that the extent of the damaged zone depends upon the contact time between the drilling fluid and the core, and also upon the stability conditions of the used drilling fluids.
Spatio-temporal variation of flood vulnerability at the Poyang Lake Ecological Economic Zone, Jiangxi Province, China
Authors: Chen Ping , Chen Xiaoling
Published: March 2012

For a long time areas of Poyang Lake have been threatened by floods. It is therefore important to assess flood vulnerability in this area. A composite flood vulnerability index was developed using an indicator approach to detect spatial distribution and temporal variation of flood vulnerability in the Poyang Lake Ecological Economic Zone (abbreviated to PLEEZ). Thematic maps of flood vulnerability showed a spatially ring-shaped distribution. The flood vulnerability ranking of one unit negatively correlated with the distance between the unit and the lake. Although flood vulnerability in PLEEZ declined significantly, the spatial distribution hardly changed from 1997 to 2006. The degree of flood vulnerability is highly related to exposure; variations in flood vulnerability are influenced by sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Based on correlation analysis, three proxies were identified as determinants of flood vulnerability variation over the past 10 years. This approach could provide policymakers with important flood risk information and entry points for flood management.
Long-Term Safety, Tolerability, and Weight Loss Associated With Metformin in the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study
Authors:   The Diabetes Prevention Program Research Group
Published: March 2012

OBJECTIVE

Metformin produced weight loss and delayed or prevented diabetes in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). We examined its long-term safety and tolerability along with weight loss, and change in waist circumference during the DPP and its long-term follow-up.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

The randomized double-blind clinical trial of metformin or placebo followed by a 7–8-year open-label extension and analysis of adverse events, tolerability, and the effect of adherence on change in weight and waist circumference.

RESULTS

No significant safety issues were identified. Gastrointestinal symptoms were more common in metformin than placebo participants and declined over time. During the DPP, average hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were slightly lower in the metformin group than in the placebo group. Decreases in hemoglobin and hematocrit in the metformin group occurred during the first year following randomization, with no further changes observed over time. During the DPP, metformin participants had reduced body weight and waist circumference compared with placebo (weight by 2.06 ± 5.65% vs. 0.02 ± 5.52%, P < 0.001, and waist circumference by 2.13 ± 7.06 cm vs. 0.79 ± 6.54 cm, P < 0.001 in metformin vs. placebo, respectively). The magnitude of weight loss during the 2-year double-blind period was directly related to adherence (P < 0.001). Throughout the unblinded follow-up, weight loss remained significantly greater in the metformin group than in the placebo group (2.0 vs. 0.2%, P < 0.001), and this was related to the degree of continuing metformin adherence (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Metformin used for diabetes prevention is safe and well tolerated. Weight loss is related to adherence to metformin and is durable for at least 10 years of treatment.
Application of the ProteomeLab™ PF2D protein fractionation system in proteomic analysis for human genetic diseases
Authors: Wang Li , Zhong Nanbert
Published: March 2012

Proteomic analysis has been widely used in elucidating the mechanism of diseases. As a classical proteomic approach, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) has been commonly applied in finding differentially expressed proteins through a first dimension of separation by the isoelectric point (pI) of proteins and a second dimension of separation according to the molecular weight (MW) of proteins. Compared to 2DGE, a recently developed commercial system from Beckman Coulter, the two-dimensional protein fractionation (PF2D), separates proteins according to the pI of proteins in the first dimension followed by a second dimension of separation according to the degree of protein hydrophobicity. As a liquid-based fractionation system, PF2D could facilitate the extraction and separation of broader protein categories and improve reproducibility and quantification as well as be less labor-intensive, which are usually identified as limitations of a gel-based 2DGE platform. This review evaluates the applications of the PF2D system and discusses the perspectives and advantages of PF2D in the investigation of cancer and genetic disorders and in protein mapping in human biological fluids and cell cultures.
A model-based approach to fault-tolerant control
Authors: Niemann Hans

A model-based approach to fault-tolerant control

A model-based controller architecture for Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) is presented in this paper. The controller architecture is based on a general controller parameterization. The FTC architecture consists of two main parts, a Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) part and a controller reconfiguration part. The theoretical basis for the architecture is given followed by an investigation of the single parts in the architecture. It is shown that the general controller parameterization is central in connection with both fault diagnosis as well as controller reconfiguration. Especially in relation to the controller reconfiguration part, the application of controller parameterization results in a systematic technique for switching between different controllers. This also allows controller switching using different sets of actuators and sensors.

New fault tolerant control strategies for nonlinear Takagi-Sugeno systems

New methodologies for Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) are proposed in order to compensate actuator faults in nonlinear systems. These approaches are based on the representation of the nonlinear system by a Takagi-Sugeno model. Two control laws are proposed requiring simultaneous estimation of the system states and of the occurring actuator faults. The first approach concerns the stabilization problem in the presence of actuator faults. In the second, the system state is forced to track a reference trajectory even in faulty situation. The control performance depends on the estimation quality; indeed, it is important to accurately and rapidly estimate the states and the faults. This task is then performed with an Adaptive Fast State and Fault Observer (AFSFO) for the first case, and a Proportional-Integral Observer (PIO) in the second. Stability conditions are established with Lyapunov theory and expressed in a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) formulation to ease the design of FTC. Furthermore, relaxed stability conditions are given with the use of Polya's theorem. Some simulation examples are given in order to illustrate the proposed approaches.
Widespread rifting and retreat of ice-shelf margins in the eastern Amundsen Sea Embayment between 1972 and 2011
Authors: MacGregor Joseph A. , Catania Ginny A. , Markowski Michael S. , Andrews Alan G.
Published: March 2012

The major outlet glaciers that drain the eastern sector of the Amundsen Sea Embayment (Smith, Haynes, Thwaites and Pine Island) are among the largest, fastest-flowing and fastest-thinning glaciers in West Antarctica. Their recent ice-flow acceleration is linked to ocean-induced ice-shelf thinning, but may also arise from additional losses of ice-shelf buttressing that are not well understood. Here we present a comprehensive history of coastal change in the eastern Amundsen Sea Embayment between 1972 and 2011 derived mostly from Landsat imagery. The termini of all four major outlet glaciers have retreated, but retreat is most rapid along the ice-shelf margins, where progressive rifting has occurred. This pattern of retreat coincides with the recent acceleration of grounded ice and contributed to loss of ice-shelf buttressing. The observed pattern of margin-led gradual ice-shelf disintegration appears to be common in accelerating ocean-terminating outlet glaciers. We hypothesize that this pattern is part of a positive feedback between glacier acceleration and rift growth that could drive further buttressing loss in the eastern Amundsen Sea Embayment.
Inflammatory Spleen Monocytes Can Upregulate CD11c Expression Without Converting into Dendritic Cells
Authors: Drutman Scott B. , Kendall Julia C. , Trombetta E. Sergio
Published: March 2012

Monocytes can differentiate into various cell types with unique specializations depending on their environment. Under certain inflammatory conditions, monocytes upregulate expression of the dendritic cell marker CD11c together with MHC and costimulatory molecules. These phenotypic changes indicate monocyte differentiation into a specialized subset of dendritic cells (DCs), often referred to as monocyte-derived DCs or inflammatory DCs (iDCs), considered important mediators of immune responses under inflammatory conditions triggered by infection or vaccination. To characterize the relative contribution of cDCs and iDCs under conditions that induce strong immunity to coadministered Ags, we analyzed the behavior of spleen monocytes in response to anti-CD40 treatment. We found that under sterile inflammation in mice triggered by CD40 ligation, spleen monocytes can rapidly and uniformly exhibit signs of activation, including a surface phenotype typically associated with their conversion into DCs. These inflammatory monocytes remain closely related to their monocytic lineage, preserving expression of CD115, scavenging function, tissue distribution and poor capacity for Ag presentation characteristic of their monocyte precursors. In addition, 3–4 d after delivery of the inflammatory stimuli, these cells reverted to a monocyte-associated phenotype typical of the steady state. These findings indicate that, in response to anti-CD40 treatment, spleen monocytes are activated and express certain DC surface markers without acquiring functional characteristics associated with DCs.
Langerhans Cells Require MyD88-Dependent Signals for Candida albicans Response but Not for Contact Hypersensitivity or Migration

Published: March 2012

Langerhans cells (LC) are a subset of skin-resident dendritic cells (DC) that reside in the epidermis as immature DC, where they acquire Ag. A key step in the life cycle of LC is their activation into mature DC in response to various stimuli, including epicutaneous sensitization with hapten and skin infection with Candida albicans. Mature LC migrate to the skin-draining LN, where they present Ag to CD4 T cells and modulate the adaptive immune response. LC migration is thought to require the direct action of IL-1β and IL-18 on LC. In addition, TLR ligands are present in C. albicans, and hapten sensitization produces endogenous TLR ligands. Both could contribute to LC activation. We generated Langerin-Cre MyD88fl mice in which LC are insensitive to IL-1 family members and most TLR ligands. LC migration in the steady state, after hapten sensitization and postinfection with C. albicans, was unaffected. Contact hypersensitivity in Langerin-Cre MyD88fl mice was similarly unaffected. Interestingly, in response to C. albicans infection, these mice displayed reduced proliferation of Ag-specific CD4 T cells and defective Th17 subset differentiation. Surface expression of costimulatory molecules was intact on LC, but expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 was reduced. Thus, sensitivity to MyD88-dependent signals is not required for LC migration, but is required for the full activation and function of LC in the setting of fungal infection.

Published: March 2012

Use of empirical antibiotics in neonates with risk factors of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) is a common practice. A laboratory parameter is needed to help in the accurate diagnosis of EOS to avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics. The aim of this prospective observational cohort study was to compare the statistical validity of cord blood interleukin-6 (IL-6) with conventional sepsis screening as an early diagnostic marker for EOS. Eighty-seven neonates with antenatal risk factors for sepsis were followed up for 72 h for the development of EOS. Cord blood was collected for measurement of IL-6 concentrations. Blood culture and conventional sepsis screening (total leukocyte count, absolute neutrophil count, C-reactive protein and micro-erythrocyte sedimentation rate) were sent for analysis soon after delivery. The study group comprised of symptomatic neonates with positive blood culture (n=36). An equal number of gestational-age matched asymptomatic neonates without risk factor of sepsis served as controls. Statistical validity of IL-6 was compared with sepsis screening parameters as the diagnostic marker for EOS. Gram negative organisms were the predominant cause of EOS. The most commonly isolated organism was Acinetobacter baumanii. The sensitivity and specificity of IL-6 with a cut-off value of 40.5 pg/mL and area under curve of 0.959 were 92.3 and 90.48%, respectively. In contrast, the sensitivity and specificity of different parameters of sepsis screening ranged from 37.5-68.75% and 47.95-57.35%, respectively. In conclusion, cord blood IL-6 can be used as a highly sensitive and specific early diagnostic marker of EOS at a cut-off concentration of 40.5 pg/mL.

Biomimetic Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
Authors: Kim Taek Gyoung , Shin Heungsoo , Lim Dong Woo
Published: March 2012

Biomimetic scaffolds mimic important features of the extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture and can be finely controlled at the nano‐ or microscale for tissue engineering. Rational design of biomimetic scaffolds is based on consideration of the ECM as a natural scaffold; the ECM provides cells with a variety of physical, chemical, and biological cues that affect cell growth and function. There are a number of approaches available to create 3D biomimetic scaffolds with control over their physical and mechanical properties, cell adhesion, and the temporal and spatial release of growth factors. Here, an overview of some biological features of the natural ECM is presented and a variety of original engineering methods that are currently used to produce synthetic polymer‐based scaffolds in pre‐fabricated form before implantation, to modify their surfaces with biochemical ligands, to incorporate growth factors, and to control their nano‐ and microscale geometry to create biomimetic scaffolds are discussed. Finally, in contrast to pre‐fabricated scaffolds composed of synthetic polymers, injectable biomimetic scaffolds based on either genetically engineered‐ or chemically synthesized‐peptides of which sequences are derived from the natural ECM are discussed. The presence of defined peptide sequences can trigger in situ hydrogelation via molecular self‐assembly and chemical crosslinking. A basic understanding of the entire spectrum of biomimetic scaffolds provides insight into how they can potentially be used in diverse tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery applications.

Published: March 2012

Spiders mainly feed on insects. This means that their fangs, which are used to inject venom into the prey, have to puncture the insect cuticle that is essentially made of the same material, a chitin‐protein composite, as the fangs themselves. Here a series of structural modifications in the fangs of the wandering spider Cupiennius salei are reported, including texture variation in chitin orientation and arrangement, gradients in protein composition, and selective incorporation of metal ions (Zn and Ca) and halogens (Cl). These modifications influence the mechanical properties of the fang in a graded manner from tip to base, allowing it to perform as a multi‐use injection needle that can break through insect cuticle, which is made of a chitin composite as well.

Published: March 2012

Three novel spiropyran (SP) dyes containing quaternary ammonium salt or cinnamoyl moiety were synthesized and their photosensitive properties as photoinitiator were characterized by UV–vis spectroscopy. The intramolecular electron transfer of SP dyes containing quaternary ammonium salt was much faster and can initiate the photopolymerization under UV irradiation though the photochromic properties than those of SPs containing cinnamoyl group. A photoinitiation system containing SPs and the hexaarylbisimidazoles was studies, and the initiation properties were tested by monitoring the conversion rate of double‐bond at 810 and 1640 cm−1 with ‐time infrared spectroscopy. It was found that the system containing our SP derivatives exhibited much higher initiating efficiency than ever reported SP dyes in the photopolymerization of 2‐phenoxyethylacrylate/N‐vinylcarbazole. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
