Neurovestibular Symptoms in Astronauts Immediately after Space Shuttle and International Space Station Missions
Authors: Reschke Millard F. , Good Edward F. , Clément Gilles R. 
Published: October 2017

Objectives(1) To assess vestibular changes and related sensorimotor difficulties, especially instability of posture and gait, among astronauts immediately after they return from space and to compare the effects experienced after short‐ and long‐duration space missions. (2) To determine whether any difficulties experienced were severe enough to impair the astronauts’ ability to leave the spacecraft in the event of an emergency.Study DesignProspective cohort study.SettingNational Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Kennedy Space Center and Johnson Space Center.Subjects and MethodsFourteen crewmembers of 3 Space Shuttle missions that lasted about 1 week and 18 crewmembers of 8 International Space Station missions that lasted about 6 months were given brief vestibular examinations 1 to 5 hours after landing. These examinations focused on the presence of vestibular and motor coordination difficulties, as well as motion sickness and motion sensations. Standardized tests included the observation of abnormal eye movements, finger‐to‐nose pointing, standing up from a seated position, postural stability, and tandem gait.ResultsUnsteady walking and postural instabilities were observed after short‐ and long‐duration missions. Motion sickness symptoms were observed after long‐duration missions but not after short‐duration missions. The symptom most frequently reported by the astronauts was an exaggerated perceived motion associated with sudden head movements during reentry and after landing.ConclusionThe severity of the observed abnormalities would limit the ability of crewmembers during the first 5 hours after landing and increase the time required to leave the spacecraft during this period.

Authors: Chen Yicheng , Smith Bradley T. 
Published: October 2017

Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) in the setting of exogenous testosterone use. Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients with a history of exogenous testosterone use and a diagnosis of CSCR at a large retina practice. Patient charts were reviewed for vision, clinical examination, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) results at each visit. Results: Four hundred eighty patients with a diagnosis of CSCR were identified, of which 7 patients had a history of exogenous testosterone use (1.46%). Of all, 0 of 7 patients reported any other steroid use. Ages ranged from 36 to 55 (mean, 46.57), and all were male. Only the right eye was involved in all 7 patients. Testosterone was discontinued in only 1 of the 7 patients. Six of the 7 patients had a visual acuity of 20/40 or better at last follow-up (range, 20/20-4/200). Three (43%) of the 7 had resolution of subretinal fluid at their last visit. The most common formulation of testosterone was for intramuscular injection. Conclusions: Exogenous testosterone use was reported in 1.46% of patients with CSCR compared to 0.8% in the general male population. The majority of patients in this study recovered 20/40 or better vision and 43% had resolution of subretinal fluid on OCT, suggesting a generally favorable prognosis for CSCR in the setting of testosterone supplementation.

Published: October 2017

AbstractThis study specifies and applies a gravity model to provide empirical evidence on determinants of emigration from Turkey to 31 destination European countries over the period between 1960 and 2013. Results under alternative estimation strategies show that economic, demographic and cultural factors have significant influence on migration decision to the destination countries. The model has explanatory power and is useful for testing the given hypothesized determinants of migration from Turkey to 31 European countries from perspective of the country of origin.JEL ClassificationF22, F14, C33

Purpose The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) produced an evidence-based guideline on radiation therapy in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) that was determined to be relevant to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) membership. After applying standard critical appraisal policy and endorsement procedures, ASCO chose to endorse the ASTRO guideline. Methods The ASTRO guideline was reviewed by ASCO content experts for clinical accuracy and by ASCO methodologists for developmental rigor. On favorable review, an ASCO Expert Panel was convened to review the guideline contents and recommendations. The ASCO guideline approval body, the Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee, approved the final endorsement. Results The ASCO Expert Panel determined that the ASTRO guideline recommendations, published in July 2017, are clear, thorough, and based upon the most relevant scientific evidence. ASCO endorsed the ASTRO guideline and added minor qualifying statements. Recommendations Recommendations for the addition of systemic therapy to definitive radiotherapy in the treatment of OPSCC, postoperative radiotherapy with and without systemic therapy following primary surgery of OPSCC, induction chemotherapy in the treatment of OPSCC, and the appropriate dose, fractionation, and volume regimens with and without systemic therapy in the treatment of OPSCC are outlined for a variety of disease stages and clinical scenarios. ASCO Endorsement Panel qualifying statements and minor modifications were made to the ASTRO recommendations. The staging system that is referenced in these guidelines is the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual, 7th edition.

A checkpoint-independent mechanism delays entry into mitosis after UV irradiation
Authors: Rothe Christiane , Rødland Gro Elise , Anda Silje , Stonyte Vilte , Boye Erik , Lopez-Aviles Sandra , Grallert Beáta 
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT
When cells are exposed to stress they delay entry into mitosis. The most extensively studied mechanism behind this delay is the DNA-damage-induced G2/M checkpoint. Here, we show the existence of an additional stress-response pathway in Schizosaccharomyces pombe that is independent of the classic ATR/Rad3-dependent checkpoint. This novel mechanism delays entry mitosis independently of the spindle assembly checkpoint and the mitotic kinases Fin1, Ark1 and Plo1. The pathway delays activation of the mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) Cdc2 after UV irradiation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that translation of the mitotic cyclin Cdc13 is selectively downregulated after UV irradiation, and we propose that this downregulation of Cdc13 contributes to the delayed activation of Cdc2 and the delayed mitosis.
ADF10 shapes the overall organization of apical actin filaments by promoting their turnover and ordering in pollen tubes
Authors: Jiang Yuxiang , Wang Juan , Xie Yurong , Chen Naizhi , Huang Shanjin 
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT
Here, we show that Arabidopsis ADF10 plays an important role in shaping the overall organization of apical actin filaments by promoting their turnover and ordering. ADF10 severs and depolymerizes actin filaments in vitro and is distributed throughout the entire pollen tube. In adf10 mutants, severing and monomer dissociation events for apical actin filaments are reduced, and the apical actin structure extends further toward the tube base than in wild-type tubes. In particular, the percentage of apical actin filaments that form large angles to the tube growth axis is much higher in adf10 pollen tubes, and the actin filaments are more randomly distributed, implying that ADF10 promotes their ordering. Consistent with the role of apical actin filaments in physically restricting the movement of vesicles, the region in which apical vesicles accumulate is enlarged at the tip of adf10 pollen tubes. Both tipward and backward movements of small vesicles are altered within the growth domain of adf10 pollen tubes. Thus, our study suggests that ADF10 shapes the organization of apical actin filaments to regulate vesicle trafficking and pollen tube growth.

Stephen King’s vampire kingdom: Supernatural evil and human evil in TV adaptations of Salem’s Lot (1979, 2004)
Authors: Brown Simon 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This article compares the representation of evil in the two TV mini-series adaptations of Stephen King’s 1975 vampire novel Salem’s Lot. The first adaptation for CBS in 1979 was directed by Tobe Hooper, and used a heightened gothic style in order to depict the takeover of the town by an atavistic European vampire who is presented in the style of Murnau’s Nosferatu (1922). In contrast the 2004 version for TNT, directed by Mikael Salomon, takes a more realist stance, downplaying the gothic in favour of suggesting that it is much more petty and human forms of evil that are the principal force behind the town’s destruction. As articulated by failed catholic priest Father Callaghan, the distinction between supernatural and human evil lies at the heart of King’s novel, and arguably at the centre of his writing more generally, and so by examining the way evil is depicted across these two adaptations, this piece will consider the duality that lies at the heart of King’s vampiric metaphor.
The curious case of the Spanish televisual vampire
Authors: Aldana Reyes Xavier 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This article explores the birth and development of the Spanish televisual vampire within the context of a similarly nascent national television and, more specifically, that of its first horror programme, Historias para no dormir (Stories to Keep You Awake) (1966–82), as well as the career of its director and scriptwriter, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador. The article reads the intrinsic qualities of the first Spanish televisual vampire, its literary credentials and its reliance on adaptation from canonical cultural sources as more largely indicative of the role and perception of horror television in that country. Substantial space is dedicated to a study of the historical and contextual coordinates of the Spanish vampire as it manifests in ‘La pesadilla’ (‘The Nightmare’) (2.1, 1967), but a brief overview of the legacy of this figure in later Spanish television is also provided. The main aim is thus to understand the ways in which the vampire has been adapted and appropriated in Spain, and, to this end, the article considers its parallel appearance in national literary and cinematic texts.

Sphere-valued harmonic maps with surface energy and the K13 problem
Authors: Day Stuart , Zarnescu Arghir Dani 
Published: October 2017

AbstractWe consider an energy functional motivated by the celebrated {K_{13}} problem in the Oseen–Frank theory of nematic liquid crystals. It is defined for sphere-valued functions and
appears as the usual Dirichlet energy with an additional surface term.
It is known that this energy is unbounded from below and our aim has been to study the local minimisers. We show that even having a critical point in a suitable energy space imposes severe restrictions on the boundary conditions. Having suitable boundary conditions makes the energy functional bounded and in this case we study the partial regularity of the global minimisers.

Authors: Andrzejczyk Rafał , Muszyński Tomasz 
Published: October 2017

AbstractIn this study, the influences of different parameters at performance two-phase closed thermosiphon (TPCT) was presented. It has been confirmed that the working fluid, as well as operating parameters and fill ratio, are very important factors in the performance of TPCT. The article shows characteristics of gravitational tube geometries, as well as the technical characteristic of the most important system components, i.e., the evaporator/condenser. The experiment’s plan and the results of it for the two-phase thermosiphon for both evaluated geometries with varying thermal and fluid flow parameters are presented. Experiments were performed for the most perspective working fluids, namely: water, R134a, SES36, ethanol and HFE7100. Obtained research proves the possibility to use TPCT for heat recovery from the industrial waste water.
Analysis of heat flow in a tube bank of a condenser considering the influence of air
Authors: Joachimiak Magda , Joachimiak Damian , Krzyślak Piotr 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The pressure of wet water vapor inside a condenser has a great impact on the efficiency of thermal cycle. The value of this pressure depends on the mass share of inert gases (air). The knowledge of the spots where the air accumulates allows its effective extraction from the condenser, thus improving the conditions of condensation. The condensation of water vapor with the share of inert gas in a model tube bank of a condenser has been analyzed in this paper. The models include a static pressure loss of the water vapor/air mixture and the resultant changes in the water vapor parameters. The mass share of air in water vapor was calculated using the Dalton’s law. The model includes changes of flow and thermodynamic parameters based on the partial pressure of water vapor utilizing programmed water vapor tables. In the description of the conditions of condensation the Nusselts theory was applied. The model allows for a deterioration of the heat flow conditions resulting from the presence of air. The paper contains calculations of the water vapor flow with the initial mass share of air in the range 0.2 to 1%. The results of calculations clearly show a great impact of the share of air on the flow conditions and the deterioration of the conditions of condensation. The data obtained through the model for a given air/water vapor mixture velocity upstream of the tube bank allow for identification of the spots where the air accumulates.

Laser Heating of the Core-Shell Nanowires
Authors: Astefanoaei Iordana , Dumitru Ioan , Stancu Alexandru 
Published: October 2017

AbstractThe induced thermal stress in a heating process is an important parameter to be known and controlled in the magnetization process of core-shell nanowires. This paper analyses the stress produced by a laser heating source placed at one end of a core-shell type structure. The thermal field was computed with the non-Fourier heat transport equation using a finite element method (FEM) implemented in Comsol Multiphysics. The internal stresses are essentially due to thermal gradients and different expansion characteristics of core and shell materials. The stress values were computed using the thermo elastic formalism and are depending on the laser beam parameters (spot size, power etc.) and system characteristics (dimensions, thermal characteristics). Stresses in the GPa range were estimated and consequently we find that the magnetic state of the system can be influenced significantly. A shell material as the glass which is a good thermal insulator induces in the magnetic core, the smaller stresses and consequently the smaller magnetoelastic energy. These results lead to a better understanding of the switching process in the magnetic materials.
Channel Flow and Flood Estimate
Authors: Adegoke James A. , Fakunle Mutiu A. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The movement of water on the land surface, within channels and through the soil is dependent on some hydrological factors. For surface flow, the velocity of flow increases with the bottom gradient of the channel and the flow depth, but when roughness increases, it decreases. For a given flow depth, the velocity decreases as the channel height increases. The construction of sub-surface drainage helps to remove excess soil water that can cause flood. To model overland flow, a kinematic-wave approach is applied so that flood prediction could be made.

Abstract
In this paper, the viability of laser ablation of gold target immersed in medical distillated water used to produce nanoparticles having morphological, structural and compositional properties for medical applications is explored. The morphological properties were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis was used to reveal the composition of resulting particles. The absorbance in the wavelengths range of 300-800 nm can be assigned to the small gold nanoparticles.
Application of Gaussian cubature to model two-dimensional population balances
Authors: Bałdyga Jerzy , Tyl Grzegorz , Bouaifi Mounir 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In many systems of engineering interest the moment transformation of population balance is applied. One of the methods to solve the transformed population balance equations is the quadrature method of moments. It is based on the approximation of the density function in the source term by the Gaussian quadrature so that it preserves the moments of the original distribution. In this work we propose another method to be applied to the multivariate population problem in chemical engineering, namely a Gaussian cubature (GC) technique that applies linear programming for the approximation of the multivariate distribution. Examples of the application of the Gaussian cubature (GC) are presented for four processes typical for chemical engineering applications. The first and second ones are devoted to crystallization modeling with direction-dependent two-dimensional and three-dimensional growth rates, the third one represents drop dispersion accompanied by mass transfer in liquid-liquid dispersions and finally the fourth case regards the aggregation and sintering of particle populations.

Authors: Blatkiewicz Michał , Antecka Anna , Górak Andrzej , Ledakowicz Stanisław 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Foam fractionation process for concentration of laccases from two Basidiomycete strains under different process conditions was investigated. Culture supernatants of Cerrena unicolor and Pleurotus sapidus containing active laccase were used with and without surfactant additives. Two surfactants: cationic cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) and non-ionic Polysorbate 80 were applied in the range from 0.2 mM to 1.5 mM. The pH levels ranging from 3 to 10 were examined with particular attention to pH=4, which is close to the pI of the enzymes. Results show that the source of the enzyme is significant in terms of partitioning efficiency in a foam fractionation process. Laccase from Cerrena unicolor showed the best activity partitioning coefficients between foamate and retentate of almost 200 with yields reaching 50% for pH 7.5 and concentration of CTAB cCTAB = 0.5 mM, whereas laccase from Pleurotus sapidus showed partitioning coefficients of up to 8 with 25% yield for pH 4 and cCTAB = 0.5 mM.
Proper names in Modern Hebrew construct phrases
Authors: Rothstein Susan 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This paper explores the distribution of proper names in construct phrases in Modern Hebrew, and uses the construct phrase as a diagnostic for distinguishing both different types of proper names and different uses of proper names. It is shown that in Modern Hebrew (i) personal proper names and definite descriptions have different grammatical properties; (ii) within the category of personal proper names, different usages can be distinguished; (iii) proper names of places (toponyms) and personal proper names have very different grammatical properties.
