Case Article—Optimal Movement Plan of Rice in the State of Andhra Pradesh
Authors: Narayanaswami Sundaravalli , Narasimhan Ravichandran 
Published: July 2017

The case discusses an optimal movement plan for food grains (rice) by a state sponsored agency, the Food Corporation of India (FCI) in the State of Andhra Pradesh in India. There are five resource locations and eleven demand locations in this distribution network. Resource capacity and demand requirement for the three product (rice) variants at each location are known. There is no storage capacity restriction either in the demand or source location. Information related to rail network, its connectivity, distance in kilometers between origin-destination pairs, cost of transportation per tonne of food grain by rail or road are known. The primary issue is to develop a monthly movement plan to minimize the overall transportation costs subject to meeting the demand-supply restrictions. The total supply available for distribution and the total requirement at various locations are both equal at the product variant and aggregate level. The secondary issue is to develop an alternative movement plan to fulfil the demand requirements at a location, Karimnagar, which does not have a direct rail connection. Few plans are proposed to resolve the issues; the case encourages analysis of the problem situation and evaluation of the alternate resolution plans.

A Simulation-Based Optimization Algorithm for Dynamic Large-Scale Urban Transportation Problems
Authors: Chong Linsen , Osorio Carolina 
Published: July 2017

This paper addresses large-scale urban transportation optimization problems with time-dependent continuous decision variables, a stochastic simulation-based objective function, and general analytical differentiable constraints. We propose a metamodel approach to address, in a computationally efficient way, these large-scale dynamic simulation-based optimization problems. We formulate an analytical dynamic network model that is used as part of the metamodel. The network model formulation combines ideas from transient queueing theory and traffic flow theory. The model is formulated as a system of equations. The model complexity is linear in the number of road links and is independent of the link space capacities. This makes it a scalable model suitable for the analysis of large-scale problems. The proposed dynamic metamodel approach is used to address a time-dependent large-scale traffic signal control problem for the city of Lausanne. Its performance is compared to that of a stationary metamodel approach. The proposed approach outperforms the stationary approach. This comparison illustrates the added value of providing the algorithm with analytical dynamic problem-specific structural information. The performance of a signal plan derived by the proposed approach is also compared to that of an existing signal plan for the city of Lausanne, and to that of a signal plan derived by a mainstream commercial signal control software. The proposed method can systematically identify signal plans with good performance. The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/trsc.2016.0717 .
Folgen der Fahreradaption beim vollautomatischen Fahren
Authors: Popp Michael 
Published: July 2017

Zusammenfassung
Im Rahmen der Einführung vollautomatischer Fahrzeuge als Teilnehmer am
Straßenverkehr wird es unumgänglich sein, die Folgen längerer Phasen der reinen
Überwachung des reibungslosen automatischen Fahrens genauer zu betrachten.
Wahrnehmung, Entscheidungen und Reaktionen des Fahrers werden nun anders
verlaufen. Dem müssen potentielle Maßnahmenkataloge Rechnung tragen. Denkbar
sind je nach Defizitart und -stärke Warnungen für den Fahrer. Eine weitere Möglichkeit
wäre auch, anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern mitzuteilen, dass der Fahrer des
betreffenden Fahrzeugs momentan nicht vollständig aufmerksam und reaktionsbereit
ist. Exotischere Möglichkeiten beinhalten die Übernahme der Fahrzeugkontrolle durch
eine Leitzentrale oder ähnliche Maßnahmen, die jedoch stark von einer potentiellen
Infrastruktur abhängig sind.

Authors: Kaçar Semra , Başhan Mehmet 
Published: July 2017

Abstract

Objective
The aim of the study was to investigate quantitative and qualitative fatty acid profiles of the gonad and liver tissue of female Mastacembelus mastacembelus (spiny eel).

Methods
Total lipids were extracted with 5 mL of chloroform-methanol (2:1 v/v). Samples containing gonad and liver lipid were transesterified with acidified methanol. The fatty acid methyl esters were extracted with hexane. Fatty acids were detected by gas chromatography (GC).

Results
The major saturated fatty acids (SFAs) were myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0) and stearic acid (C18:0) in both gonad and liver tissue. Oleic acid (C18:1 ω-9) and palmitoleic acid (C16:1 ω-7) were the prominent monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA). The dominant polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were linoleic acid (LA, C18:2 ω-6), arachidonic acid (AA, C20:4 ω-6), docosapentaenoic acid (C22:5 ω-3) and docoesahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6 ω-3). The ratio of ω-3/ω-6 ranged from 1.55 to 3.44 and 1.18 to 2.71 in the gonad and liver tissue, respectively.

Conclusion
The findings of this study will be useful for understanding the seasonal distribution of fatty acid composition in the liver and gonad of spiny eel.

Published: July 2017

<p>Radiation has a potent to damage cells. Radiation may act directly or indirectly on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that results in the degeneration of tissues and necrotic, and thereby it needs a potent radioprotector to prevent these damages. Vitamin E is natural product known as an antioxidant which has potential as radioprotector. This research aimed to determine the capability of vitamin E with emphasized on the searching for its optimal concentration as radioprotector of DNA damage. This study used blood samples of healthy person irradiated with gamma rays at a dose of 6 Gy as the lethal dose to lymphocytes. The cocentrations of vitamin E from 0 to 0.8 mM was added into blood 15 minutes before irradiation. Isolation of lymphocytes was done using gradient centrifugation method. Evaluation on the capability of this compound in suppressing DNA damage was done by using alkaline Comet assay and data analysis was done using CaspLab program. The results show that addition of vitamin E could suppres these DNA damages and 0.8 mM of vitamin could reduce DNA damage up to 94.2%. We conclude that vitamin E effectively suppresed DNA damages induced by radiation. These results may benefit to enrich the radioprotectant information for radiotherapy patients.</p>

Published: July 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:In 2000, the US Congress authorized the National Institutes of Health to conduct a prospective national longitudinal study of environmental influences on children’s health and development from birth through 21 years. Several recruitment methodologies were piloted to determine the optimal strategy for a main National Children’s Study.METHODS:After an initial pilot recruitment that used a household enumeration strategy performed poorly, the National Children’s Study Vanguard Study developed and evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and cost of 4 alternate strategies to recruit a large prospective national probability sample of pregnant women and their newborn children. We compare household-based recruitment, provider-based recruitment, direct outreach, and provider-based sampling (PBS) strategies with respect to overall recruitment success, efficiency, cost, and fulfillment of scientific requirements.RESULTS:Although all 5 strategies achieved similar enrollment rates (63%–81%) among eligible women, PBS achieved the highest recruitment success as measured by the ratio of observed-to-expected newborn enrollees per year of 0.99, exceeding those of the other strategies (range: 0.35–0.48). Because PBS could reach the enrollment target through sampling of high volume obstetric provider offices and birth hospitals, it achieved the lowest ratio of women screened to women enrolled and was also the least costly strategy. With the exception of direct outreach, all strategies enrolled a cohort of women whose demographics were similar to county natality data.CONCLUSIONS:PBS demonstrated the optimal combination of recruitment success, efficiency, cost, and population representativeness and serves as a model for the assembly of future prospective probability-based birth cohorts.

Standard approach to ultrasound investigation of monochorionic twin pregnancy in centers of primary and secondary level of care
Authors: Nekrasova Ekaterina S. 
Published: July 2017

Introduction. Management of multiple pregnancy complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is one of the most difficult parts of contemporary obstetrics. This syndrome develops only in presence of anastomoses in common placenta of monochorionic twins. Without intrauterine correction of severe TTTS in 80-100% of cases one or both twins die in utero.
The aim of this study is to define the signs that can help in differentiation of monochorionic twins to low or high risk group that needs to be managed in centers of secondary level of care. We investigated 115 monochorionic twin pregnancies at gestational age weeks.
Materials and methods. There was 214 ultrasound and Doppler studies in total.
Results. We measured biometric parameters of both fetuses and PI in umbilical artery, ductus venosus and middle cerebral artery. We demonstrated that monochorionic twins with weight difference less than 15% and normal amniotic fluid can be managed in centers of primary level of care, whereas fetuses with weight difference more than 15% and olygohydramnion/polyhydramnion sequence need to be transfered to the special centers of secondary level of care. Appearance of reversed blood flow in umbilican artery of the donor twin or ductus venosus of the recipient twin is indicative for in utero laser coagulation of placental anastomoses.

Published: July 2017

Chronic placental insufficiency remains a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. In this regard, prediction of this pregnancy complications becomes particularly relevant. Currently, the frequency of pregnancy as result of assisted reproductive technology (ART) increases among the population. Pregnancies after ART administration compare to naturally occurred are accompanied by a higher risk of miscarriage as well as the formation of placental insufficiency. Older women with endocrine and physical disorder participate in the ART programs most frequently.
The aim of our study was to investigate the course of pregnancy, after ART administration, selection groups threatened by the development of placental insufficiency. 261 medical records of women with singleton pregnancies after ART have been studied. It was the main group. 167 women had a chronic placental insufficiency. There were allocated two groups of pregnant women: group I – 86 patients with placental insufficiency and preeclampsia, group II – 81 women with placental insufficiency indeed. The comparison group consisted of 30 women without infertility with a normal singleton pregnancy. The development of placental insufficiency in the main group (after ART) depends on a large causes of somatic pathology due to age of pregnant women as well. Therefore, patients after ART have to allocate in the high risk group of developing preeclampsia and placental insufficiency.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) is used to treat sleep apnea in heart failure (HF). However, it is unclear whether ASV improves the long-term prognosis for all patients with HF, regardless of the severity of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). We therefore aimed to estimate the long-term prognosis associated with ASV therapy for patients with HF by the severity of SDB.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> Sixty-one consecutive patients with HF (mean age ± standard deviation: 70 ± 10 years) were initiated on ASV therapy for HF treatment after polysomnography. Patients were then classified into the following three groups based on their apnea–hypopnea index (AHI): a severe group with an AHI of ≥40/h (n = 28); a moderate group with an AHI of ≥20/h but &lt;40/h (n = 20); and a mild group with an AHI of &lt;20/h (n = 13). To estimate long-term prognosis, we reviewed the 3-year follow-up data, including that concerning fatal cardiovascular events (death from myocardial infarction, cardioembolic stroke, and fatal cardiac arrhythmias).</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> No significant differences were observed between the three study groups in the risk of fatal cardiovascular events (p = 0.207).<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Our results suggest that ASV therapy is associated with a good prognosis and that ASV therapy is effective, regardless of the severity of SDB.</p><p> </p>

Authors: Liu Mi-Hua , Lin Xiao-Long 
Published: July 2017

NLRP3 inﬂammasome has emerged as a key regulator of glucose and insulin homeostasis. Several studies have shown that activation of the NLRP3 inﬂammasome contributes to obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance . Increased oxidative stress may also contribute to NLRP3 inﬂammasome activation during diabetes and its complications . Therefore, selective inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome is a promising target to prevent diabetes and slow down the progression of its complications.

Published: July 2017

Background: Firearm injuries are associated with substantial emotional, physical and financial burden on community and hospital resources leads to profound morbidity. It is a global public health problem and pose therapeutic challenges to surgeons. Proper management of firearm wounds requires a working knowledge of physical factors involved in the creation of such injuries. Regional variations of the parameters of medico legal aspects of firearm injuries are still lacking. Objective is to analyse pattern of firearm injuries managed at rural tertiary hospital.Methods: All firearm injury cases brought to the emergency department of Hospital, from January 2016 to December 2016 were included in the study.Results: In this study 108 (83.7%) victims were males and 21 (16.3%) were female. Most common age group victimized was 20-29 year (33.3%). Most cases occurred in winter season.113 cases (87.3%) victim were unemployed.81 cases (62.8%) had below intermediate education. 110 (85.3%) cases were of homicidal motive. Shotgun/ ‘kattas’ outnumbered the rifled firearm injuries (109) cases (84.5%). Trunk was involved in 45 cases (34.8%) and lower extremity in (32.6%) 42 cases,) Exit wound found in 93(72.2%) cases only. The fatality rate was 3.9% (5 cases). . Wound debridement was performed for 48 cases (37.2%) of patients, while emergency exploration was done for 30 cases (23.3%). The hospital stay of 49 cases (37.9%) of patients was more than one week. 111 cases (86.1%) were discharged.Conclusions: Addressing the root causes of violence such as poverty, unemployment, substance abuse will reduce the incidence of firearm injuries in our environment. Establishment of efficient emergency health care services for pre-hospital care and effective ambulance system for rapid transport of injured victims to hospital will reduce morbidity and mortality. Management requires knowledge ATLS protocols, mode, presentation and ballistic of firearm. Authorities issuing license for possession of firearms need to be more strict and vigilant.
