Radiation Processing: An Emerging Preservation Technique for Meat and Meat Products
Authors: Jayathilakan K. , Sultana Khudsia , Pandey M. C. 
Published: June 2017

<p>Development of shelf stable meat and meat products is a challenging task due to physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory alterations during storage. Lot of thrust is being given in the application of radiation processing in meat sector due to its microbial safety. Maintaining and delivering quality and safety products both in civilian and service sectors is the need of the hour. Even though irradiation can ensure complete microbial sterility it can lead to lipid and protein oxidation due to the formation of free radicals which can cause flavour changes. Several studies on the usage of natural antioxidants which can arrest these changes have been reported. Irradiation can find excellent applications in the extension of shelf life of chilled and non chilled carcasses and birds in service sectors. There are several radiation processing plants in India commissioned in the private sector which can also be utilized by Armed forces for extending the shelf life of whole carcass and birds with an extension of shelf life. This will be of great<strong> </strong>significance to the defence forces.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

Published: June 2017

Elektroplanting tembaga pada besi baja telah dilakukan dengan menggunakan larutan elektrolit tak beracun asam asetat sebagai pengganti larutan beracun sianida. Variable proses yang dipelajari yaitu perbandingan konsentrasi asam asetat terhadap tembaga sulfat (X1), suhu elektrolit (X2), kerapatan arus katoda (X3), kerapatan arus anoda (X4), dan jarak anoda-katoda (X5). Percobaan menunjukkan bahwa pemakaian asam asetat sebagai elektrolit asam lemah menghasilkan endapan yang cemerlangdengan efisiensi arus cukup tinggi berkisar 95%. Variable yang mempunyai efek positif berturut-turut yaitu perbandingan konsentrasi, kerapatan arus katoda, dan kerapatan arus anoda. Sedangkan efek negatif berasal dari pengaruh jarak anoda-katoda dan suhu elektrolit. Pengaruh variabel proses terhadap logam berat yang melapisi katoda (Yd) dan efisiensi arus (η) didekati dengan persamaan linier, dengan kesalahan pendekatan relatif sebesar 20%. Kondisi terbaik ditunjukkan oleh efisiensi arus sebesar 94,5% dan hasil plating yang sangat cemerlang pada X1 = 50 (gr/l) / 100 (gr/l), X2 = 50 0C, X3 = 300 Ampere/m2, X4 = 200 Ampere/m2, dan X5 = 3 cm.
Distributed storage and recall of sentences
Authors: Ebner Marc 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The human brain is able to learn language by processing written or spoken language. Recently, several deep neural networks have been successfully used for natural language generation. Although it is possible to train such networks, it remains unknown how these networks (or the brain) actually process language. A scalable method for distributed storage and recall of sentences within a neural network is presented. A corpus of 59 million words was used for training. A system using this method can efficiently identify sentences that can be considered reasonable replies to an input sentence. The system first selects a small number of seeds words which occur with low frequency in the corpus. These seed words are then used to generate answer sentences. Possible answers are scored using statistical data also obtained from the corpus. A number of sample answers generated by the system are shown to illustrate how the method works.
On the completely indeterminate case for block Jacobi matrices
Authors: Osipov Andrey 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
We consider the infinite Jacobi block matrices in the completely indeterminate case, i. e. such that the deficiency indices of the corresponding Jacobi operators are maximal. For such matrices, some criteria of complete indeterminacy are established. These criteria are similar to several known criteria of indeterminacy of the Hamburger moment problem in terms of the corresponding scalar Jacobi matrices and the related systems of orthogonal polynomials.

Clinical outcomes of an inpatient pediatric obesity treatment program in the USA
Authors: Taylor Sharonda J. Alston , Rennie Kimberly , Jon Cindy 
Published: June 2017

Abstract

Background
When treating recalcitrant and severe childhood obesity, pharmaceutical options are limited and few patients qualify for bariatric surgery. A prolonged inpatient program serves as an alternative treatment. The purpose of this project was to describe the development of a medically supervised inpatient weight management program and evaluate its effectiveness.

Methods
This is a retrospective chart review of 18 patients [4–18 years, mean body mass index (BMI) 50.2 kg/m2] admitted to an inpatient pediatric weight management program from October 2011 through December 31, 2012 to evaluate the biometric, laboratory, sleep and behavioral changes that occurred from admission to discharge from the program.

Results
Average weight loss was 15% (6.9%–21.5%, p = 0.0001), the decrease in BMI was 15.1% (1.61–21.57, p = 0.0001), systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure decreased by 7.2% (p = 0.003) and 10.3% (p = 0.040), respectively. The reduction in heart rate was 15% (p = 0.013). Upon admission, nine patients had obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), of which one was treated with tonsillectomy and six were not compliant with home positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. At discharge, three patients no longer required PAP and five required decreased PAP settings. Upon admission, seven patients met the criteria for an internalizing disorder. At discharge, symptom reduction was noted.

Conclusion
An intensive pediatric inpatient weight management program leads to successful weight loss, improvement in hemodynamic parameters, reduction in OSA treatment requirements and symptom improvement in anxiety and depressive disorders in obese children.
Renal lymphangiectasia treated with percutaneous drainage and sclerotherapy
Authors: Choudhury Sunirmal , Sridhar Kartik , Pal Dilip Kumar 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Renal lymphangiectasia is a rare benign condition of the lymphatic system. Primarily, the diagnosis is based upon characteristic imaging findings along with biochemical analysis of aspirated fluid. No definitive algorithm exists for treating this condition owing to its rarity. The literature describes various modes of management ranging from conservative management to nephrectomies. We present a case of bilateral renal lymphangiectasia managed with percutaneous drainage along with sclerotherapy. Our initial findings show a favorable outcome with this approach.
Learning to improve grammar instruction through comprehensive analysis of past research
Authors: Schenck Andrew 
Published: June 2017

AbstractHolistic study of grammar instruction is needed not only to establish the effectiveness of pedagogical techniques, but to determine when, and in what way, they should be utilized. Within a meta-analysis of 33 experimental studies, external stimuli impacting the language learner (scope of instruction, input or output enhancement, frequency of treatment, and EFL/ESL context) were concomitantly considered alongside cognitive factors (grammatical complexity and language proficiency). Results of linear regression revealed that the selected causal factors collectively explain more than 40 % of variability in the effectiveness of pedagogical techniques for English grammar production. Study further suggests that grammar emphasis with a limited scope may be more effective; input enhancement may be more effective with grammatical features that are less essential for communication (redundant, systematic, and less salient features such as past -

Collective Intentionality, Social Domination, and Reification
Authors: Thompson Michael J. 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThis paper addresses the way that social power and domination can be understood in terms of collective intentionality. I argue that the essence of stable forms of rational power and domination must be understood as the functional influence of material resource control and the power to control the norms and collective-intentional, constitutive rules that guide institutions. As a result, the routinization and internalization of these rules by subjects becomes the criterion of success for any system of social power and social domination. I then consider how this relates the phenomenon of reification, which I proceed to show is when consciousness has been shaped by constitutive rules and group collective intentionality that sustain relations of domination and control and accept them as basic social facts, as second nature. I then go on to show parallels between Searle and Lukács before outlining the distinction between descriptive and critical social ontology.
Descriptive Metadata: An Analysis of British Pathé Newsreel Collections from World War Two
Authors: Addica Kerry 
Published: June 2017

AbstractBritish Pathé is considered to be the finest newsreel archive in existence, a treasure trove unrivalled in historical and cultural significance, containing 85,000 short film clips totalling 3,500 hours of footage (predominately shot in grainy black and white with later works in colour) of major events, notable figures, fashion, travel, sports and culture, and is particularly strong in its coverage of the First and Second World Wars. In 2002, the process began to convert the film negatives into high-resolution digital files and upload them onto a computer database. A digital asset management system was utilized to host the archive and provide search abilities. One of the initial problems when converting the film negatives to digital files was a lack of detailed information. To combat this, the adoption of a better descriptive metadata scheme, using clearer, simpler keywords would make the site more user-friendly and easier to access. By comparing, sorting and categorizing a limited number of archival footage files from World War II on the British Pathé website, specifically “D-Day: 70th Anniversary Collection,” to create a statistical analysis of current descriptive metadata, a picture will emerge as to the user-friendly environment of the website. By using graphs, diagrams and stills, a deduction can be made as to whether the current keywords are well served or need improvement.ss

Published: June 2017

Abstract
Wright, MD and Atkinson, G. Changes in sprint-related outcomes during a period of systematic training in a girls' soccer academy. J Strength Cond Res 33(3): 793–800, 2019—The longitudinal tracking of performance indicators is lacking during the training of young female soccer players. Therefore, changes in 5-m acceleration, 20-m speed, change-of-direction (COD) speed, and repeated-sprint ability (RSA) were quantified during a 3-year period in an English Football Association Center of Excellence. Fourteen players (mean age = 12.1 years, SD = ±0.9) were recruited, and their best performance scores from preseason and in-season testing were averaged. Players were typically exposed to soccer (2 × 90 minutes per week) and strength and conditioning training (1 × 70 minutes per week) and played 20 soccer matches (50–80 minutes) during 35-week seasons. Mean (±90% confidence limits (CL)) overall improvements over the 3 years were 5.9% (1.3) (most likely large) for speed, 4.0% (1.0) (most likely large) for RSA, 8.8% (1.1) for acceleration, and 8.3% (1.4) for COD speed (both most likely very large). Improvements between years one and 2 ranged from most likely moderate to very large. Further small improvements in COD speed and 20-m speed (both likely) were observed between years 2 and 3. Individual differences in response were apparent only for COD speed, which were moderate and small between years 2 and 3. Most likely very large to near-perfect within-player correlations were observed between maturation and sprint measures. These data from a single-arm longitudinal study indicate that systematic exposure to training, which includes one dedicated strength and conditioning session each week, is associated with improvements in sprint-related physical qualities in girls.
Higher glucocorticoid replacement doses are associated with increased mortality in patients with pituitary adenoma
Authors: Hammarstrand Casper , Ragnarsson Oskar , Hallén Tobias , Andersson Eva , Skoglund Thomas , Nilsson Anna G , Johannsson Gudmundur , Olsson Daniel S 
Published: June 2017

Objective
Patients with secondary adrenal insufficiency (AI) have an excess mortality. The objective was to investigate the impact of the daily glucocorticoid replacement dose on mortality in patients with hypopituitarism due to non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA).

Methods
Patients with NFPA were followed between years 1997 and 2014 and cross-referenced with the National Swedish Death Register. Standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was calculated with the general population as reference and Cox-regression was used to analyse the mortality.

Results
The analysis included 392 patients (140 women) with NFPA. Mean ± s.d. age at diagnosis was 58.7 ± 14.6 years and mean follow-up was 12.7 ± 7.2 years. AI was present in 193 patients, receiving a mean daily hydrocortisone equivalent (HCeq) dose of 20 ± 6 mg. SMR (95% confidence interval (CI)) for patients with AI was similar to that for patients without, 0.88 (0.68–1.12) and 0.87 (0.63–1.18) respectively. SMR was higher for patients with a daily HCeq dose of >20 mg (1.42 (0.88–2.17)) than that in patients with a daily HCeq dose of 20 mg (0.71 (0.49–0.99)), P = 0.017. In a Cox-regression analysis, a daily HCeq dose of >20 mg was independently associated with a higher mortality (HR: 1.88 (1.06–3.33)). Patients with daily HCeq doses of ≤20 mg had a mortality risk comparable to patients without glucocorticoid replacement and to the general population.

Conclusion
Patients with NFPA and AI receiving more than 20 mg HCeq per day have an increased mortality. Our data also show that mortality in patients substituted with 20 mg HCeq per day or less is not increased.
The Epidemiology, Management, and Outcomes of Bacterial Meningitis in Infants
Authors: Ouchenir Lynda , Renaud Christian , Khan Sarah , Bitnun Ari , Boisvert Andree-Anne , McDonald Jane , Bowes Jennifer , Brophy Jason , Barton Michelle , Ting Joseph , Roberts Ashley , Hawkes Michael , Robinson Joan L. 
Published: June 2017

OBJECTIVES:
The pathogens that cause bacterial meningitis in infants and their antimicrobial susceptibilities may have changed in this era of increasing antimicrobial resistance, use of conjugated vaccines, and maternal antibiotic prophylaxis for group B Streptococcus (GBS). The objective was to determine the optimal empirical antibiotics for bacterial meningitis in early infancy.

METHODS:
This was a cohort study of infants &lt;90 days of age with bacterial meningitis at 7 pediatric tertiary care hospitals across Canada in 2013 and 2014.

RESULTS:
There were 113 patients diagnosed with proven meningitis (n = 63) or suspected meningitis (n = 50) presented at median 19 days of age, with 63 patients (56%) presenting a diagnosis from home. Predominant pathogens were Escherichia coli (n = 37; 33%) and GBS (n = 35; 31%). Two of 15 patients presenting meningitis on day 0 to 6 had isolates resistant to both ampicillin and gentamicin (E coli and Haemophilus influenzae type B). Six of 60 infants presenting a diagnosis of meningitis from home from day 7 to 90 had isolates, for which cefotaxime would be a poor choice (Listeria monocytogenes [n = 3], Enterobacter cloacae, Cronobacter sakazakii, and Pseudomonas stutzeri). Sequelae were documented in 84 infants (74%), including 8 deaths (7%).

CONCLUSIONS:
E coli and GBS remain the most common causes of bacterial meningitis in the first 90 days of life. For empirical therapy of suspected bacterial meningitis, one should consider a third-generation cephalosporin (plus ampicillin for at least the first month), potentially substituting a carbapenem for the cephalosporin if there is evidence for Gram-negative meningitis.
Nanoporous and nanostructured materials made out of clusters for environmental applications
Authors: Antony Jiji , Nutting Joseph , Baer Donald R. , Qiang You 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThe nanoporous materials prepared from iron-iron oxide core-shell nanoparticles are of great interest due to their enhanced possibilities for distribution in the environment, a high rate of chemical reactivity and also the possibility to enhance environmentally friendly reaction paths. However, production of these nanoparticle porous materials by conventional methods is difficult. Therefore, we use a cluster deposition system, which prepares the iron nanoclusters and iron-iron oxide core shell nanoclusters at room temperature. The nanoporous films are synthesized by using the nanoclusters as building blocks. These films are characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method for surface area determination.
