Published: May 2018

Introduction:Increased femoral vein size may lead to a higher first pass success rate during central venous cannulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of body position on femoral vein anatomy for cannulation.Methods:This prospective study examined the femoral vein of healthy volunteers by ultrasound scanner. The changes in cross‐sectional area and diameter of the femoral vein were evaluated. Right‐sided measurements were taken at four different leg positions: neutral, frog leg, back‐up, and back‐up/frog leg position.Results:A total of 50 subjects were enrolled in the study. The mean femoral vein cross‐sectional area were 0.57 ± 0.29 cm2, 0.90 ± 0.26 cm2, 1.05 ± 0.33 cm2, and 1.47 ± 0.34 cm2, and the mean femoral vein diameter were 0.75 ± 0.20 cm, 1.05 ± 0.28 cm, 1.25 ± 0.21 cm, and 1.46 ± 0.25 cm in order of neutral, back‐up, frog leg, and back‐up/frog leg position (p < 0.001).Conclusion:Performing the right femoral vein catheterization in back‐up and frog leg position is associated with a greater cross‐sectional area of the femoral vein.
Walking with controlled breathing improves exercise tolerance, anxiety, and quality of life in heart failure patients: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Teng Hsiu-Chin , Yeh Mei-Ling , Wang Mei-Hua 
Published: May 2018

Background: Patients with heart failure experience not only impaired physical condition, but also their physical activity, moods, and quality of life may be diminished. Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12-week walking with breathing program on physical activity tolerance considering time-dependent physiological factors and time-independent interoceptive awareness, as well as psychosocial factors. Methods: This randomized controlled trial recruited 90 heart failure patients and randomly assigned them. The walking with breathing group received the walking and breathing intervention for 12 weeks but the control group did not. Outcomes included activity tolerance measured by 6-minute walk distance, moods assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, quality of life determined by the EuroQol 5-Dimensions, oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry, and interoceptive awareness by the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness scale. Data were collected before the intervention at baseline and at Weeks 2, 4 and 12. Results: The results of the generalized estimating equation showed the 6-minute walk distance in the walking with breathing group was significantly different across time ( p<0.001) compared with the control group at baseline. Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry ( p=0.04) and Trusting on the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness scale ( p=0.001) significantly and positively correlated with results of the 6-minute walk distance. There were significant between-group differences at Week 12 in anxiety ( p=0.03) and quality of life ( p=0.02) but not depression ( p=0.06). Conclusions: Walking with breathing improved heart failure patients’ tolerance of physical activity, probably because of improved oxygen saturation and trusting interoceptive awareness. Walking with breathing also improved patients’ anxiety and quality of life.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The β-functionalization of 5,15-diazaporphyrins (DAPs) with phosphoryl, phenoxy, sulfanyl, and sulfonyl groups was achieved by either cross-coupling or aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions of β-bromo- and β,β′-dibromo-DAPs. The heteroatom-containing functional groups at the β-positions strongly affected the redox properties of the DAP π-systems.

A spin to spark creativity: The role of early Jamaican popular music recordings in Los Angeles’ traditional ska scene
Authors: Cole Nina 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In the late 1980s, a revival movement dedicated to 1960s Jamaican popular music began taking shape in Los Angeles, CA. Hepcat and Jump With Joey were two bands at the forefront of this movement, playing their own interpretations of Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae, interlaced with genealogically related influences. Using oral history interviews I conducted with band members, I analyse the role of recorded media in shaping Angeleno adaptations of 1960s Jamaican popular music. In doing so, I highlight how audio recordings help stimulate cross-cultural and inter-generational communication and explore the complexities of music revival subcultures and generic classifications.
Levels of locality and recent expressions of reggae in Mexico
Authors: López-Negrete Miranda Christian Eugenio 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This article discusses various issues surrounding the presence of Jamaican popular music in Mexico and focuses on issues of great importance as the arrival, development, adoption and adaptation of these musical practices that arise in specific times or time periods; in different levels of locality that are related to each other, at the same time related to the global; and that they express themselves by reinterpreting these genres in their own ways. Each period has characteristics that distinguish it and at the same time coexist today in a same musical scene that involves several smaller scenes, as much regional as stylistic, in which continue to arise new expressions of reggae in Mexico.

Multi-color imaging of sub-mitochondrial structures in living cells using structured illumination microscopy
Authors: Opstad Ida S. , Wolfson Deanna L. , Øie Cristina I. , Ahluwalia Balpreet S. 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThe dimensions of mitochondria are close to the diffraction limit of conventional light microscopy techniques, making the complex internal structures of mitochondria unresolvable. In recent years, new fluorescence-based optical imaging techniques have emerged, which allow for optical imaging below the conventional limit, enabling super-resolution (SR). Possibly the most promising SR and diffraction-limited microscopy techniques for live-cell imaging are structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and deconvolution microscopy (DV), respectively. Both SIM and DV are widefield techniques and therefore provide fast-imaging speed as compared to scanning based microscopy techniques. We have exploited the capabilities of three-dimensional (3D) SIM and 3D DV to investigate different sub-mitochondrial structures in living cells: the outer membrane, the intermembrane space, and the matrix. Using different mitochondrial probes, each of these sub-structures was first investigated individually and then in combination. We describe the challenges associated with simultaneous labeling and SR imaging and the optimized labeling protocol and imaging conditions to obtain simultaneous three-color SR imaging of multiple mitochondrial regions in living cells. To investigate both mitochondrial dynamics and structural details in the same cell, the combined usage of DV for long-term time-lapse imaging and 3D SIM for detailed, selected time point analysis was a useful strategy.
Molding light with metasurfaces: from far-field to near-field interactions
Authors: Hassani Gangaraj Seyyed Ali , Monticone Francesco 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThe field of metasurfaces is revolutionizing the way we control and manipulate light and electromagnetic fields based on engineered ultrathin structures. In this review article, we discuss the theory, modeling, and applications of metasurfaces, with particular focus on controlling the near-field response of sources close to the artificial surface. Although metasurfaces have attracted large attention for their ability to control and mold the wavefront of propagating waves, hence acting as flat lenses, they can also be used to modify the emission/radiation from near-field sources and control the generation and propagation of surface waves guided and confined along the surface. We discuss the analytical modeling of metasurfaces treated as homogenized impedance sheets and elucidate the application and limits of this approach for near-field sources. We devote a large part of the review article to anisotropic and hyperbolic metasurfaces, which enable some of the most exciting and extreme examples of anomalous surface-wave propagation on planarized artificial structures, with important implications for light focusing, confinement, and subwavelength imaging. We also connect these ideas with the emerging area of 2D materials and discuss how to implement hyperbolic metasurfaces with graphene and black phosphorus. We hope that this review article may provide the reader with relevant physical insights and useful analytical tools to study metasurfaces and their near-field interactions with localized sources and, more generally, offer an overview of this field and its ambitious goal of ideal light control on a surface.
From photoinduced electron transfer to 3D metal microstructures via direct laser writing
Authors: Waller Erik Hagen , von Freymann Georg 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
We review the fundamental concepts of direct laser writing (DLW) of 3D metallic structures via photoreduction and give an overview over the state-of-the-art. On the one hand, metallic microstructures and nanostructures play an important role in photonic applications such as resonators, antennas, metamaterials, and polarizers. On the other hand, DLW offers a flexible and fast way to fabricate microstructures. Because the underlying mechanisms from the first photoreaction to the final 3D microstructure are quite complex and not yet well controlled, we believe that a review of the photochemistry and photophysics of the direct writing process of metal structures helps to promote development in this field. To this end, we first summarize the principles of electroplating and electroless plating as this helps understand the photoresist’s components. Next, we describe the different photoreducing agents and photoreactions that lead to metal seeds and in consequence to nanoparticles. This is followed by insights into the physics of nanoparticle agglomeration to the desired microstructure. Finally, we give an overview over the state-of-the-art of DLW metallic 3D microstructures.

AbstractINTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to present our current practice of counseling patients and families with the most severe congenital malformations in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and to develop practical guidelines for our team and involved healthcare/ socialcare professionals. MATERIAL & METHODS: It was a retrospective evaluation of a series of fetal cases in 2017 from single tertiary center. Maternal obstetrical medical history, time of prenatal detection of the anomaly (1st, 2nd or 3rd trimester), time between last fetal echocardiography and delivery, type of delivery, neonatal birth weight and time of neonatal demise. The total study group was subdived into early demise (during the 1st day after delivery) or late demise > 1st day after delivery. RESULTS: Mean maternal age was 30,4 +/- 5,6 years, and varied between 26 and 38 years. No chronic maternal diseases were found in medical history and no congenital malformations were present in previous children. All women had 1st trimester ultrasound, in 9 cases, it was reported as normal (with NT measurement < 2 mm), in 2 cases extracardiac abnormalities were detected: diaphragmatic hernia and omphalocele ( in both fetal karyotype 46,XY). In nine cases, the abnormalities were detected in midgestation and with maternal wish to continue the pregnancies. There were 8 neonatal deaths within 60 minutes after delivery, including one intrapartum death and 3 “late” neonatal deaths in the intensive care unit (on 12th, 21st and 22nd day). We stress upon the prenatal team approach and counseling of future parents, in order to prepare them for poor neonatal outcome. CONCLUSIONS: 1. In the most severe cases when fetal or neonatal demise was suspected, the two different opinions of specialists might not be enough and a third opinion should be recommended before final decision. 2. A Fetal Team of specialists is necessary in cases of expected fetal/neonatal demise in order to prepare a written report of recommended perinatal management for all sides involved in this difficult problem.

Authors: YERSAL Özlem , YİĞİT Mehmet , MEYDAN Nezih , BARUTCA Sabri 
Published: May 2018

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze high risk breast cancer patients with
involvement of five or more axillary lymph nodes with an overall survival of at
least five years, and to determine the predictive and prognostic factors by
comparing patients by recurrence/metastases status retrospectively. Methods: From a total of 500 patients those were followed up in Adnan Menderes University,
Medical Oncology department, 37 were eligible for the study; 23 were disease
free and 14 had recurrence/metastases in the follow up period. The patients
were analyzed, for demographical (such as age, menopausal status, obesity),
anatomical and histological characteristics of tumor (primary tumor’s diameter,
stage, grade, Ki-67, hormon receptors and Her-2 status), treatment modalities
and prognosis. Results: Both number of metastatic lymph nodes and
(metastatic/sampled) lymph node ratio were not significantly different between
the recurrence-free and metastatic patients. In the recurrence-free patients
both grade 3 (48% vs none, p = 0.03)
and p53 negative tumors (64% vs 36%, p
= 0.036) were significantly more than metastatic patients. Also in the recurrence
free patients as compared to metastatic patients, adjuvant chemotherapy was applied
more than 6 cycles (87% vs 43%, p = 0.004),
the regimens included more taxane based regimens (91% vs 64%, p = 0.042), aromatase inhibitors were
used higher (100% vs 75%, p = 0.019)
and the period of tamoxifen treatment in switch regimens were shorter. Conclusion: The results of this study suggested that, high risk breast cancer patients with
involvement of five and more nodes that have the predictive factors as grade 3 and/or
p53 negative tumors are propably more responsive to adjuvant treatments. Chemotherapy
of more than 6 cycles, administering taxane based regimens and aromatase inhibitors
in the adjuvant regimens may favourably effect the prognosis.
Fuzzy mapping of momentum fluxes in complex shear flows with limited data
Authors: Hankin B. G. , Kettle H. , Beven K. J. 
Published: May 2018

This study is divided into three parts centred around modelling the complex turbulent fluxes across strong shear layers, such as exist between the channel and floodplain flow in an over bank flood flow. The three stages utilize Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) to make fuzzy mappings between the fluxes and different data types. The de-fuzzification stage commonly used in Fuzzy Inference Systems is adapted to avoid the generation of crisp outputs, a process which tends to hide the underlying uncertainty implicit in the fuzzy relationship.
Each stage of the study utilizes conditioning data that makes the fuzzy mappings more tenuously linked with what would normally be considered physically based relationships. The need to make such mappings in distributed models of complex systems, such as flood models, stems from the sparsity of available distributed information (e.g. roughness) with which to condition the models. If patterns in distributed observables which clearly affect, or are affected by, the river hydraulics can be linked to the local fluxes, then the conditioning of the model would improve. Mappings such as these often suffer from scaling effects, an issue addressed here through training the fuzzy rules on the basis of both laboratory and field collected data.

THE STOCHASTIC APPROACH TO WATERSHED MODELING
Authors: DeCoursey Donn G. 
Published: May 2018

The stochastic approach to watershed modeling refers to the techniques used to generate synthetic hydrologic data. These data may be used either for input to a parametric watershed model or to provide directly an estimate of the output of a hydrologic process. In both cases the basic techniques of the generation processes are the same. The type of process depends primarily on the purpose for which the data are being generated and on the quality and quantity of sample data.
Techniques are presented which can be used to generate data for one or any number of variates. The data generated can be normal, skewed, or log normal, and include serial correlation. If two or more variates are involved, cross correlation may also be considered.
Brief discussions concerning missing data, statistical tests, random number generation, and interpretation of results are presented along with a review of the generation schemes that have been used in the stochastic generation of hydrologic data.
THE MEANDERING OF ALLUVIAL RIVERS
Authors: HÅKANSON LARS 
Published: May 2018

To explain the formation of meanders, the author has synthesized relevant knowledge and utilized basic physical principles of flowing turbulent water and its interaction with the river bed.
Starting from an initially straight and smooth channel, one can argue that the most probable site of the first erosional scar will be lateral from the centre of the river. This scar will then develop into a cavity, which in turn will affect the streamline situation of the flow. In front of the cavity the streamlines will converge, and behind it they will diverge. The diverging streamlines, together with unaffected or less affected streamlines, will then create a new convergence zone behind the first cavity but on the opposite side of the river's centre line. The ultimate and most probable and stable result will be a meander.

Published: May 2018

This article deals with the problem of insulating measuring weirs to avoid ice disturbances.
The development of a simple method for insulating a conventional V-weir is described. This method will serve its purpose in many cases. For more difficult cases a special type of a fully insulated weir is described. The experiments described were carried out by The Division of Hydraulic Engineering, The University of Trondheim, The Norwegian Institute of Technology, at the River and Harbour Laboratory of the University, and at the IHD representative basin Sagelva.
