Published: May 2018

AimTo compare changes in the shape and astigmatism of the total and posterior cornea between eyes with a nasal clear corneal incision (CCI) and eyes with a temporal CCI in cataract surgery.MethodsThe left eyes of 100 patients undergoing phacoemulsification were randomly assigned to undergo a 2.4 mm nasal (nasal CCI group) or temporal CCI (temporal CCI group). Corneal astigmatic changes were compared between groups using power vector analysis, and corneal shape changes were compared using videokeratography maps at 2 days, and at 2, 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively.ResultsThe mean J0and J45values of the total cornea were significantly greater in the nasal CCI group than in the temporal CCI group at 2 and 4 weeks postoperatively (p≤0.0392), but did not differ significantly between groups at 2 days and 8 weeks. The videokeratography maps revealed a wedge-shaped flattening in the total cornea and a steepening in the posterior cornea around the CCIs in both groups at 2 days postoperatively; those were more prominent in the nasal CCI group than in the temporal CCI group. The wound-related changes diminished by 8 weeks postoperatively in the total and posterior cornea, and were not markedly different between groups at 8 weeks postoperatively.ConclusionCorneal shape and astigmatic changes were comparable between groups at 8 weeks postoperatively, although the changes were greater after nasal CCI than after temporal CCI in the early postoperative periods, indicating that nasal or temporal CCI can be selected based on the surgeon’s preference.

Abstract
Ras signaling originates from transient nanoscale compartmentalized regions of the plasma membrane composed of specific proteins and lipids. The highly specific lipid composition of these nanodomains, termed nanoclusters, facilitates effector recruitment and therefore influences signal transduction. This suggests that Ras nanocluster proteolipid composition could represent a novel target for future chemoprevention interventions. There is evidence that consumption of fish oil containing long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5Δ5,8,11,14,17) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6Δ4,7,10,13,16,19) may reduce colon cancer risk in humans, yet the mechanism underlying this effect is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that dietary n-3 PUFA reduce the lateral segregation of cholesterol-dependent and -independent nanoclusters, suppressing phosphatidic acid-dependent oncogenic KRas effector interactions, via their physical incorporation into plasma membrane phospholipids. This results in attenuation of oncogenic Ras-driven colonic hyperproliferation in both Drosophila and murine models. These findings demonstrate the unique properties of dietary n-3 PUFA in the shaping of Ras nanoscale proteolipid complexes and support the emerging role of plasma membrane-targeted therapies.
Significance: The influence of dietary long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on plasma membrane protein nanoscale organization and KRas signaling supports development of plasma membrane-targeted therapies in colon cancer.

Abstract
Purpose: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for many hematologic cancers. Use of haploidentical (mismatched) donors increases HSCT availability but is limited by severe graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and delayed immune reconstitution. Alloanergization of donor T cells is a simple approach to rebuild immunity while limiting GvHD after haploidentical HSCT, but the optimal T-cell dose and impact on immune reconstitution remain unknown.
Patients and Methods: We performed a multicenter phase I trial of alloanergized donor lymphocyte infusion (aDLI) after CD34-selected myeloablative haploidentical HSCT. The primary aim was feasibility and safety with secondary aims of assessing the less frequently addressed issue of impact on immune reconstitution.
Results: Nineteen patients with high-risk acute leukemia or myelodysplasia were enrolled. Engraftment occurred in 18 of 19 patients (95%). Pre-aDLI, 12 patients (63%) had bacteremia, nine of 17 at-risk patients (53%) reactivated CMV, and one developed acute GvHD. Sixteen patients received aDLI at dose levels 1 (103 T cells/kg, n = 4), 2 (104, n = 8), and 3 (105, n = 4). After aDLI, five patients developed clinically significant acute GvHD, and four of 14 at-risk patients (29%) reactivated CMV. T-cell recovery was significantly greater, and functional virus- and tumor-associated antigen-specific T cells were detectable earlier in patients receiving dose level 2 or 3 versus dose level 1/no aDLI. Alloanergization of donor cells expanded the CD4+ T-regulatory cell frequency within aDLI, which increased further in vivo without impeding expansion of virus- and tumor-associated antigen-specific T cells.
Conclusions: These data demonstrate safety and a potential role for aDLI in contributing to immune reconstitution and expanding tolerogenic regulatory T cells in vivo after CD34-selected myeloablative haploidentical HSCT. Clin Cancer Res; 24(17); 4098–109. ©2018 AACR.

Published: May 2018

Background
We sought to identify patient and surgical factors associated with time to hospital discharge in patients undergoing complete repair for tetralogy of Fallot.

Methods and Results

We performed a prospective cohort study of patients with tetralogy of Fallot admitted for complete repair between May 1, 2012 and June 2, 2017 at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia with detailed demographic, clinical, and operative characteristics. The primary outcome was time to hospital discharge. Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify patient and operative predictors of time to hospital discharge. We enrolled 151 subjects, 62.8% male, 65.6% non‐Hispanic white, and 9.9% non‐Hispanic black. The median time to hospital discharge was 7 days (interquartile range 4, 12). Five patients died in the hospital, all of whom underwent tetralogy of Fallot repair beyond the neonatal period. Greater birth weight was associated with higher rate of hospital discharge (hazard ratio [

CI

HR
[per 10 minutes]=0.88, 95%
CI
=0.79, 0.97) were associated with lower rate of hospital discharge.

Conclusions
Postoperative hospital stay after complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot is in part determined by patient and operative factors. Some (eg, surgical strategy for the symptomatic neonate) may be modifiable. These results may impact patient counseling, choice of surgical approach, and postoperative care.
Laboratory and Flight Tests of 2D Imaging Probes: Toward a Better Understanding of Instrument Performance and the Impact on Archived Data
Authors: Gurganus Colin , Lawson Paul 
Published: May 2018

AbstractTwo-dimensional (2D) imaging probes, such as the 2D stereo (2D-S) probe and the cloud imaging probe (CIP), are routinely used to provide in situ measurements of cloud particle properties. The basic measurement is shadowgraphs of water drops and ice particles from which particle size distributions, projected particle area, and mass concentrations are determined. These data permeate data archives of domestic and foreign government agencies, universities, and the private sector. This paper provides results from laboratory tests and flight tests on a Learjet research aircraft that give new insights into the performance of the 2D imaging probes, and how their performance may have impacted measurements collected in data archives. The laboratory tests are conducted with the aid of two devices: 1) a droplet generator that provides known concentrations of water drops from 15 to 65 µm ± 1 µm that can be positioned in the probe’s sample volume with 10-µm precision; and 2) a motorized spinning platform that supports transparent disks with small opaque features (i.e., a “spinning disk”), which replicates the effect of particles transecting the probe’s sample volume at translational speeds up to 190 m s−1. The flight tests were conducted with a Learjet research aircraft that collected cloud particle data at true airspeeds from 99 to 170 m s−1. The results provide new insights into how probe optics, time response, and data throughput of the 2D-S and CIP electro-optics impact the measurements of cloud particles. The results, summarized in the conclusions, suggest how archived data are impacted.
Using High-Resolution Simulations to Quantify Errors in Radar Estimates of Tornado Intensity
Authors: Dahl Nathan A. , Nolan David S. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Observation experiments are performed on a set of high-resolution large-eddy simulations of translating tornado-like vortices. Near-surface Doppler wind measurements are taken by emulating a mobile radar positioned from 1 to 10 km south of each vortex track and conducting single-level scans every 2 s. The departure of each observed gust (wind measurement averaged over two successive scans) from the corresponding true maximum 3-s gust at 10 m AGL (“S10–3s”) is partitioned into error sources associated with resolution volume size, wind direction relative to the radar beam, beam elevation, and temporal sampling. The distributions of each error type are diagrammed as functions of range, observed wind speed, and predicted deviation between the wind direction and the radar beam. The results indicate that the deviation between the wind direction and the radar beam is the predominant source of error in these rapid scan scenarios, although range is also a substantial factor. The median total error is ~10% for small deviation at close range, but it approximately doubles if the range is increased from 1 to 10 km; a more pronounced increase in both the median value and the variance of the total error is seen as the deviation becomes large. Because of this, the underestimate of the global maximum S10–3s approaches 30–40 m s−1 at a longer range, although the global maximum of the time-averaged observed wind speed gives a reasonable approximation of the time-mean maximum S10–3s in many cases. Because of simplifying assumptions and the limited number of cases examined, these results are intended as a baseline for further research.
Developmentally inspired human ‘organs on chips’
Authors: Ingber Donald E. 
Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT
Although initially developed to replace animal testing in drug development, human ‘organ on a chip’ (organ chip) microfluidic culture technology offers a new tool for studying tissue development and pathophysiology, which has brought us one step closer to carrying out human experimentation in vitro. In this Spotlight article, I discuss the central role that developmental biology played in the early stages of organ-chip technology, and how these models have led to new insights into human physiology and disease mechanisms. Advantages and disadvantages of the organ-chip approach relative to organoids and other human cell cultures are also discussed.
Posttreatment Technique for SN2 Alkylation of Aromatics with Alkyl Halides: Aiming toward Large-Scale Synthesis of Building Blocks for Soft π-Molecular Materials
Authors: Okamoto Ken , Lu Fengniu , Nakanishi Takashi 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Unreacted alkyl halide and byproduct olefin contaminants in products of SN2 alkylation reactions of aromatic compounds can be efficiently removed by sequential posttreatments with a base and a boron compound (sodium borohydride or 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane), followed by column chromatography on silica gel. These treatments permit large-scale purification of various alkylated aromatics, thereby assisting in the development of soft π-conjugated materials, such as monomers for semiconducting polymers or alkylated π-functional liquids.
One-Step Synthesis of Polyethylenimine-Coated Fe3O4 Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles for Latent Fingermark Enhancement
Authors: Chen Hongyu , Liu Li 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
We report a one-step synthesis procedure for obtaining polyethyleneimine-coated Fe3O4 superparamagnetic nanoparticles (PEI-Fe3O4 NPs) for latent fingermark enhancement. The as-prepared nanoparticles were then characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), zeta potential analyzer (ZetaPALS), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA). The experiment displayed the PEI-Fe3O4 NPs with high magnetization and well-defined structure were successfully synthesized and the cladding rate of PEI was 33.3%. The PEI-Fe3O4 NPs were later applied to develop latent fingermarks on various surfaces, including porous and nonporous, which showed clear ridges and good contrast, even for the minutiae and pores. To compare with Fe3O4 NPs, the PEI-Fe3O4 NPs were used to detect aged fingermarks, and it achieved great advantages especially for porous surfaces. Above all, the PEI-Fe3O4 NPs can efficiently enhance latent fingermarks, and thus have great potential in forensic investigations.
Strategic Open Routing in Service Networks
Authors: Arlotto Alessandro , Frazelle Andrew E. , Wei Yehua 
Published: May 2018

We study the behavior of strategic customers in an open-routing service network with multiple stations. When a customer enters the network, she is free to choose the sequence of stations that she visits, with the objective of minimizing her expected total system time. We propose a two-station game with all customers present at the start of service and deterministic service times, and we find that strategic customers “herd,” that is, in equilibrium all customers choose the same route. For unobservable systems, we prove that the game is supermodular, and we then identify a broad class of learning rules—which includes both fictitious play and Cournot best response—that converges to herding in finite time. By combining different theoretical and numerical analyses, we find that the herding behavior is prevalent in many other congested open-routing service networks, including those with arrivals over time, those with stochastic service times, and those with more than two stations. We also find that the system under herding performs very close to the first-best outcome in terms of cumulative system time.The online appendices are available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2017.2971 .This paper was accepted by Gad Allon, operations management.
Fashion exhibition as film
Authors: Moloney Alison 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This article reflects on the film project 1914 Now: Four Perspectives on Fashion Curation (2014) in which I invited internationally renowned fashion curators to present their curatorial thesis on film rather than working with dress in three dimensions within the familiar context of the gallery or museum. When I devised this experimental project, I set out to test notions of curatorial authorship as evidenced upon the final public presentation and to appraise film as a medium for curatorial interpretation. This article examines museological concepts associated with the curation of fashion and dress and assesses curatorial trajectories and interventions, scenography and the animation of objects as applied to film. What happens when a curator, used to dealing with the object, no longer has the object to install?
A fashion exhibition as cinematic experience
Authors: Mida Ingrid 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Both the museum and cinema encourage the viewer to escape from the experience of the everyday and sequentially mobilize the gaze on a temporal itinerary that triggers personal affective responses. In this article, I will analyse the scenography of the exhibition Catwalk, a thematic display of historic dress at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (20 February–22 May 2016). Designed by photographer Erwin Olaf, the exhibit made explicit connections to the catwalk even though many of the garments on display predate the origins of the catwalk or runway as a mode of presentation for fashion. The scenography negated the sensation of time and historicity and produced the affect of glamour, such that the Catwalk exhibition might be linked to Sophia Coppola’s film Marie Antoinette (Coppola, 2006) in borrowing from the third-wave feminist aesthetic.
Re-Contextualizing the Object: Using New Technologies to Reconstruct the Lost Interiors of Medieval Islamic Buildings
Authors: McClary Richard Piran 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
There has been a common theme arising in the display of Islamic architectural fragments. Decontextualized and alone, so often their rather opaque provenance, and questions as to how the objects became detached from their original locations, have led to a profound disconnect between the objects and the buildings from which they came. This article proposes a new way of displaying and understanding such items in situ that directly confronts the issue of origin. Its focus is on the Ilkhanid lustre tiles from the tomb of Shaykh ‘Abd al-Samad in Natanz, Iran. A number of the tiles are in major museum collections around the world, with little sense of the cumulative appearance of the complete composition, or the other decorative elements of the building. By using low-cost building materials and high-quality printing it is possible to recreate a sense of the Ilkhanid-era appearance of the interior of the Natanz tomb. Through such an installation the original scale, context, and epigraphic programme will become clear. This article challenges several curatorial conventions and bridges the divide between the objects and the building of which they originally formed an integral part.
Interpolated Spaces: The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s ‘Damascus Room’ Reinstalled
Authors: Kenney Ellen 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In the 1975 iteration of the Islamic art galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), curators assembled historical architectural elements, mainly from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Damascus, to create a Damascene period room that came to be known as the ‘Nur al-Din Room’. Positioned near the introductory gallery, the room captured the imagination of museum visitors, who felt transported through space and time by its romantic allure. Only the most specialized of visitors would have known the extent to which the ‘Nur al-Din Room’ represented a pastiche incorporating elements from different interiors and periods, or that its previous owners remained anonymous. For the reinstallation of the Islamic galleries, which opened in fall 2011, the room was entirely dismantled and reassembled after receiving conservation treatment. It was positioned in a new location within the galleries and was reconfigured to better reflect the original layout of its main elements: a group of wooden wall panels decorated with a colourful relief technique known as ‘ajami. Information about this technique, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Damascus and its residential architecture, as well as the collection and display history of the room itself, is provided on a touch-screen inside the space.
A Sanctuary for Carpets: The New Installation at the MAK – Museum für angewandte Kunst, Vienna, 2014
Authors: Karl Barbara , Völker Angela , Embacher Michael 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This article deals with the latest and quite daring installation of the one of the most famous and oldest carpet collections worldwide: the collection of the MAK – Museum für angewandte Kunst, Vienna, which includes pieces from the former Austrian imperial household. Michael Embacher designed a sanctuary-like space in which the individual carpets are suspended from different levels and presented at varying angles. The underlying curatorial concept stresses the interconnectedness of carpet designs during the classical age of the large Islamic empires from the late fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. This unique presentation enables the visitor to experience their splendour and to contextualize them within carpet history in an atmospherically dense space.
