Evaluation of tension stiffening and momentcurvature of high performance reinforced concrete beams under sustained load.
Authors: Ahmed Kawa 
Published: July 2017

In this paper, the effects of creep and shrinkage on the deflection and cracking of
reinforced high performance concrete beams subjected to sustained load type in bending
are investigated. Mid-span deflections, cracking and surface strain profiles were
monitored over a 90 day period so that to verify the structural response of HPRC (high
performance reinforced concrete) beams. Using the results obtained from the
experiments, the effect on tension stiffening was examined. Four concrete strengths 52,
95, 96 and 100 MPa were included as a major experimental parameter. The results
showed that as higher strength concrete was employed, not only cracks along the
reinforcement more extensive, but also the transverse crack spacing became smaller.
Thereby, the effective tensile stiffness of the high-performance concrete specimens at
the stabilized cracking stage was much smaller than those of normal-strength concrete
specimens. This observation is contrary to the current design provisions, and the
reduction in the tension stiffening effect by employment of high-performance concrete
is much greater than that would be expected. Measured surface strains in both the
tension and compression zones of beams of HPC subjected to sustained load were
considerably higher than the normal strength concrete beam. This was thought to be
primarily due to the effects of creep in the compression zone and a higher degree of
cracking within the tension zone. The progressive long-term increase in deflection is
shown to be a result of strain development primarily in the compression zone. The
sustained load is shown to affect the section stiffness most significantly within the early
stages of loading. Using experimental results, the validity of Eurocode 2 (EC2) is
examined.
Previously licensed anti-mycobacterial drugs: a re-appraisal.
Authors: Ameen Sirwan 
Published: July 2017

The discovery of antimycobacterial agent was the outcome of intensive efforts made between 1930
and 1970 to identify antimicrobial drugs. Sulfonamides (1930s), Streptomycin (1944) and Rifampicin
(1965) are first and the last of the anti-mycobacterial drugs currently in use. Despite the availability
of effective anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy, significant morbidity and mortality due to this disease
continue to occur. The emergence and spread of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively-drug
resistant (XDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has more complicated the problem of
tuberculosis (TB) control and reduced the effectiveness of the current anti-TB drug. The present
situation clearly demonstrates the need for a re-evaluation of our knowledge to treating TB and the
current TB drugs. One of the highest achievements of modern medicine has been the development of
antibiotics for the treatment of lethal infections. Unfortunately, the progress for new drugs against
tuberculosis has been very inadequate over the past four decades. In the fight against emerging MDR
and XDR resistance we can no longer rely completely on the finding of new antibiotics; we must also
follow rational approaches to the use of older antibiotics such as sulfonamide. This review provides
a concise historical of previously licensed drugs for treatment of tuberculosis and the targets and their
mode of action of these drugs are briefly discussed.
Zones of maximum discontinuity in the western house mouse (M. m. domesticus) genetic landscape: a computational geometry method.
Authors: Zarei Fatah , Hussein Ridha 
Published: July 2017

To represent the zones of maximum genetic discontinuity in a network of geographically
located populations of western house mouse from the previously published mitochondrial
DNA D-loop sequence datasets which we acquired from the NCBI GenBank database,
we applied a computational geometry approach using the Monmonier’s maximum
difference algorithm implemented in the BARRIER 2.2 software. We defined ten zones
where genetic change among populations is locally increased, three of them occur within
the Middle East, while seven occur in Europe. Analysis of molecular variance among
post-hoc defined regions using the pattern generated by the BARRIER analysis showed
that a significant portion of the genetic diversity was because of among groups
component.

Published: July 2017

PURPOSE: This study investigated the association between vancomycin blood brain barrier penetration and clinical response in patients with postsurgical meningitis. METHODS: Adult patients with postsurgical meningitis were recruited. Eligible patients received vancomycin 500 mg every 6 h for at least 5 days. On day 3 or 4, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and simultaneous serum samples were obtained to determine CSF minimum concentrations (Cmin), serum Cmin and CSF to serum Cmin ratio. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients (14 men and 8 women; mean age of 52.6± 12.1 years) were recruited. The vancomycin Cmin was 3.63 ± 1.64 mg/L in CSF and 13.38 ± 5.36 mg/L in serum, with the CSF to serum Cmin ratio of 0.291 ± 0.118. The Cmin in serum and in CSF showed a significant correlation (p=0.005, r =0.575). The vancomycin CSF Cmin had a significant correlation with the decline of white blood cell counts (WBCs) in CSF (p=0.003, r =0.609). CSF Cmin, serum Cmin and CSF to serum Cmin ratio all showed no significant correlation with clinical response (p=0.335, 0.100, 0.679, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: There was a positive correlation between serum Cmin and CSF Cmin. However, only CSF Cmin is positively correlated with WBCs improvement in CSF. All other parameters such as serum Cmin, CSF Cmin and CSF to serum Cmin ratio had no correlation with clinical response. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

Current Treatment Options for Glenohumeral Instability and Bone Loss
Authors: Provencher Matthew T. , Ferrari Marcio B. , Sanchez George , Anavian Jack , Akamefula Ramesses , LeBus George F. 
Published: July 2017

* Management of recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability with bone loss is challenging and may necessitate osseous augmentation.* Glenoid and humeral-head osseous deficits should be managed simultaneously when there is severe bipolar bone loss. This is determined on the basis of the size of glenoid bone loss and/or Hill-Sachs lesion and the risk of engagement via the glenoid track concept based on the location and orientation of the lesion(s).* The quantification of glenoid bone loss and Hill-Sachs lesions should be done via 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) scanning or high-quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).* Clinically important glenoid bone loss may be primarily treated via coracoid transfers (e.g., Bristow and Latarjet procedures) or via iliac crest autograft or distal tibial allograft transfer in revision cases or cases with severe bone loss.* Smaller humeral-head defects may be ignored, but can be treated effectively with remplissage, and large defects may require allograft reconstruction or resurfacing.

Published: July 2017

Недостаток углерода может являться основным лимитирующим фактором при выращивании микроводорослей, поэтому подбор оптимального способа подачи углерода в культуральную среду для конкретной культуры и фотобиореактора является определяющим для их интенсивного культивирования. Культуру микроводоросли Dunaliella salina выращивали в лабораторных фотобиореакторах плоскопараллельного типа при круглосуточном искусственном освещении 15 кЛк. Подачу воздуха осуществляли аквариумным компрессором со скоростью 0.8 л·л-1·мин-1 культуры в минуту. В первом варианте барботаж осуществляли через стеклянную трубку, во втором — через специальный распылитель воздуха. Экспериментально показана возможность интенсивного выращивания культуры D. salina на распыляемом атмосферном воздухе с максимальной продуктивностью 0.34 г сухой биомассы с 1 л в сутки. Проведена сравнительная оценка затрат для выращивания культуры зелёной микроводоросли D. salina на распыляемом атмосферном воздухе и с дополнительным введением СО2 в газовоздушную смесь.
Evidences of hydraulic relationships between groundwater and lake water across the large floodplain wetland of Poyang Lake, China
Authors: Li Yunliang , Yao Jing , Zhao Guizhang , Zhang Qi 
Published: July 2017

AbstractHydraulic relationship between wetlands and lakes has become an important topic for the scientific and decision-making communities. Poyang Lake, an open freshwater lake in China, and the extensive floodplain wetland surrounding the lake, plays an important role in protecting the biodiversity of this internationally recognized wetland system. This paper is the first field-based study into an investigation of the groundwater dynamics in the floodplain wetland and the associated hydraulic relationship with the lake using hydrological, hydrochemical and stable isotope evidence, as exemplified by Poyang Lake wetland. Results show that groundwater stores within the floodplain wetland exhibit spatial and temporal variability in terms of the magnitudes of groundwater level variations. Floodplain groundwater fluctuations largely reflect patterns of the precipitation and the lake water level; however, the groundwater dynamics are highly affected by the variations in the lake water level, rather than local precipitation. Floodplain wetland is most likely to receive the lake water during spring and summer and may recharge the lake during periods of low lake water level. Additionally, floodplain groundwater displays similar hydrochemical and environmental isotope signatures to that of the lake at different sampling periods, indicating a close hydraulic relationship between groundwater and the lake throughout the year.

MEMPERTANYAKAN NILAI-NILAI PANCASILA PADA PROFESI AKUNTAN: BERCERMIN PADA KODE ETIK IAI
Authors: Setiawan Achdiar Redy 
Published: July 2017

Sebagai negara bangsa, Indonesia menghadapi tantangan besar di depan arus besar globalisasi. Secara historis, para founding fathers Indonesia setuju untuk menggunakan nilai-nilai bersama, yaitu Pancasila, sebagai dasar, jiwa dan kehidupan bernegara. Profesi akuntansi yang bekerja di daerah ekonomis juga memiliki kewajiban untuk menyelaraskanpengembangan profesi sejalan dengan nilai-nilai Pancasila. Tujuan dari artikel konseptual ini untuk mengkritisi apakah profesi akuntansi sejalan (atau tidak) dengan jiwa Negara: Pancasila. Berdasarkan review pada Kode Etik IAI (semacam analisis konten), ditemukan bahwa ada banyak nilai-nilai belum termaktub dalam kode etik. Nilai Pancasila menjadi alat untuk mengkritisi keberadaan dan substansi Kode Etik IAI. Salah satu temuan yang muncul adalah absennya pernyataan bahwa tanggung jawab utama dari akuntan sejatinya kepada Allah. Selain itu, keadilan sosial, keseimbangan distribusi pendapatan dan beberapa nilai-nilai Pancasila harus didorong muncul dan menjadi concerm dalam pengembangan profesi akuntan di masa depan.

Septal Extension Graft in “Closed” Revision Rhinoplasty: A Simplified Technique
Authors: Scattolin Alberto , Galzignato Pier-Francesco , Longari Fabrizio , D'Ascanio Luca 
Published: July 2017

Background The septal extension graft (SEG) is widely used in secondary rhinoplasty for correction of a short nose with loss of tip support and projection, columellar retraction, and hyper-rotated tip secondary to an overresection of the caudal septum. Although SEG precise fixation can be relatively easy in the external approach, the difficulties of SEG placement in “closed” rhinoplasty can be discouraging. Objective To describe an easy surgical technique for SEG placement in endonasal revision rhinoplasty and to analyze the aesthetic results of the procedure. Methods Thirty-eight patients were submitted to an endonasal approach revision rhinoplasty with endonasal placement of SEG for the correction of a short nose with a hypoprojected and hyper-rotated nasal tip. Pre- and postoperative nasal length, tip projection, and tip rotation (nasolabial and lobulocolumellar angles) were measured for each patient. Results An increase (mean ± standard deviation) of nasal length by 15.02 ± 3.91% and an augmentation of tip projection by 11.34 ± 2.26% were noticed after surgery with respect to preoperative conditions. A significant (p < 0.001) decrease in the columellar-labial angle was recorded on postoperative (91.23 ± 3.85°) examination with respect to preoperative (99.81 ± 6.49°) conditions. A decrease (p < 0.001) in the columellar-lobular angle was noted on postoperative assessment (34.02 ± 5.28°) with respect to preoperative examination (50.02 ± 0.36°). No relevant postoperative complication was recorded. Conclusion The “endonasal” approach described for SEG placement was an easy and reliable procedure to treat a short nose with loss of tip support and projection, columellar retraction, and hyper-rotated tip, especially in revision surgery. The advantages of our technique over previously described approaches were reported.
