Travel time inversion from ground level to gallery: protocol for the characterization of P‐wave seismic signature in a fractured‐porous Urgonian platform at hectometric scale
Authors: Maufroy Emeline , Gaffet Stéphane , Operto Stéphane , Guglielmi Yves , Boyer Daniel 
Published: August 2014

A tomographic ‐wave velocity model is inferred from a ground level‐to‐gallery vertical 500 m × 800 m seismic experiment conducted at the inter‐Disciplinary Underground Science and Technology Laboratory (LSBB, France). No initial knowledge of the velocity structure of the surrounding fractured‐porous carbonates was previously available. Ninety‐four shots at the surface were recorded by a line of 189 seismometers on the steep slope of the topographic surface and by a line of 150 geophones in an 800 m‐long, 250‐500 m‐depth gallery. The ‐wave velocities inferred from first‐arrival travel time inversion display a relatively large set of values ranging from 4000 to 6000 m/s. Such variations correlate well with the 5 to 20% porosity variations between the main geological units that consist of two sedimentary facies affected by a complex cemented fault zone.Taking advantage of the known geology of the site, this study explores the influence of the acquisition geometry impacted by the topography and of the near‐surface weathered zone onto the shallow tomography resolution ability. Considering the mesoscopic scale of the targeted medium, reliable imaging of hectometric geological bodies with 10% contrasts in porosities can be achieved only with the simultaneous association of (i) a high density of sources and receivers in the monitoring array geometry, and (ii) the equal consideration of surface‐to‐gallery and surface‐to‐surface first‐arrival travel times, as an essential constraint to correctly image the underlying structures.
Diversity and abundance of arthropod by-catch in semiochemical-baited traps targeting apple clearwing moth (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) in organic and conventional apple orchards in British Columbia, Canada

AbstractApple clearwing moth (ACM),Synanthedon myopaeformis(Borkhausen) (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), is an invasive species and destructive pest of commercial apple trees in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Mass trapping with Concord grape juice and sex pheromone is being developed as an organic pest management tactic. We quantified the diversity and abundance of arthropod by-catch in these traps during the 2009 flight (13 June–31 July) of ACM. Paired traps were deployed in organic and conventionally managed apple orchards planted using different tree densities representing the extremes of the current BC apple industry. Using seasonal by-catch and community-level statistical analyses we determined that family communities of arthropods caught in juice-baited and pheromone-baited traps differed significantly. Yellow juice-baited traps caught a greater variety of arthropod families in greater abundance than pheromone-baited yellow Unitraps®. We show that for each trap type, family communities caught in organic versus conventional orchards were significantly different. Organic orchard management affected abundance of some beneficial taxa, but the sign of the difference depended on the taxon examined (e.g., ladybeetles increased versus lacewings declined). Tree density had no effect on by-catch. Managing ACM by mass trapping may be detrimental to ecosystem services because many nontarget beneficial species are caught. A balanced risk-to-benefit approach should be taken before this technology is widely implemented against ACM.
Lower levels of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are associated with a worse Duke treadmill score in men but not in women
Authors: Erkan AF , Ekici B , Demir GG , Töre HF 
Published: August 2014

Background:
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are inversely related to the atherosclerotic burden and are higher in women than in men. We aimed to investigate the sex-specific relationship between serum HDL-C levels and the Duke treadmill score (DTS) in this study.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 111 patients (59 men, 42 women) with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent exercise treadmill test (EST) were included. Fasting blood samples were obtained for the assessment of serum lipid levels. DTS was calculated for each patient based on EST findings including ST segment deviation and symptoms.

Results:
Patients were categorized into a moderate to high risk group based on the DTS score (group-I: 38 patients) and a low risk group (group-II: 63 patients). There was a significant positive correlation between serum HDL-C levels and DTS (r = 0.230; P=0.021). The mean HDL-C level was significantly higher in group-II relative to group-I (49.25 ±11.21 vs. 44.43 ± 11.18, respectively, P = 0.04). An HDL-C level less than the cut-off value of 41.39 mg/dL predicted a moderate to severe risk DTS with 65% sensitivity and 69% specificity in men (area under curve = 0.732, P = 0.004), but not in women (area under curve = 0.505, P = 0.958). After adjustment for traditional CAD risk factors (age, sex, and smoking status), the relationship of DTS to HDL-C remained significant. (P = 0.030; adjusted OR = 0.948 [95% CI, 0.904-0.995]).

Conclusion:
Low HDL-C levels may be associated with a moderate to high risk Duke treadmill score in men, but not in women. Further research is required to clarify the sex-specific relationship between HDL-C and DTS.
Association of polymorphisms of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and ABCB1, and activity of P-glycoprotein with response to anti-epileptic drugs
Authors: Taur SR , Kulkarni NB , Gandhe PP , Thelma BK , Ravat SH , Gogtay NJ , Thatte UM 
Published: August 2014

Background and Objective:
Epilepsy, the most common neurological disorder, has treatment failure rate of 20 to 25%. Inter-individual variability in drug response can be attributed to genetic polymorphism in genes encoding different drug metabolizing enzymes, drug transporters (P-gp), and enzymes involved in sodium channel biosynthesis. The present study attempted to evaluate association of polymorphisms of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and ABCB1, and P-gp activity with treatment response in patients with epilepsy.

Materials and Methods:
Patients with epilepsy on phenytoin and/or phenobarbital and/or carbamazepine were categorized into responders and non-responders as per the International League Against Epilepsy. Plasma drug concentration was estimated by high-performance liquid chromatography. P-gp activity was measured by flow cytometry using rhodamine efflux. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RFLP) was used to study polymorphisms of ABCB1 (C3435T), CYP2C9 (416 C > T, and 1061 A > T), and CYP2C19 (681 G > A and 636 G > A).

Results:
Of total 117 patients enrolled in this study, genotype data was available for 115 patients. P-gp activity was higher in non-responders (n = 68) compared to responders (n = 47) (P<0.001). No association of 416 C > T and 1061 A > T in CYP2C9 or 681 G > A and 636 G > A in CYP2C19 was observed with response phenotype in genotypic analysis. Significant genotypic (odds ratio, OR = 4.5; 95% CI, 1.04 to 20.99) and allelic association (OR = 1.73; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.95) was observed with ABCB1 C3435T and response phenotype.

Conclusions:
The response to antiepileptics seems to be modulated by C3435T in ABCB1 or P-gp activity. At present, role of other genetic factors in treatment responsiveness in epilepsy appears limited, warranting analysis in a larger cohort.

ABSTRACTBackground and objectivesMenopause is a physiological state that gives rise to adaptive changes at both oral and systemic level. One of the major problems in these patients is burning mouth syndrome though no appreciable organic lesions are present. Xerostomia is another frequent symptom seen in menopause. The present study was undertaken to correlate between possible oral complications – xerostomia, anemia, and candidal colonization among postmenopausal women of different socioeconomic statuses. With this background the present study was undertaken to correlate between possible oral complications – xerostomia, anemia, and candidal colonization among postmenopausal women of different socioeconomic statuses.Materials and methodsAfter obtaining explained and informed consent, 40 females subjects with age range from 40 to 80 years attending outpatient department of our dental school were included in the study. A specially designed proforma was used to record demographic details and annual percapita income. A structured questionnaire was used for assessing clinical subjective symptoms of xerostomia. Hemoglobin estimation was done by cyanomethemoglobin method. Saliva sampling for estimation of colony forming units was performed using oral rinse technique.ResultsTotal sample of 40 subjects anemia was prevalent in 57.5%. Xerostomia was prevalent in 75% of total sample. Association between anemia and xerostomia status showed a significant positive correlation (p = 0.04) between anemia and xerostomia. Correlation between socioeconomic status with the variables (xerostomia score and candidal counts) showed no significant positive correlation.ConclusionDental practitioners need to be aware about menopause and its oral manifestations as a possible risk factor for various oral health problems. Oral physicians should be vigilant and encourage postmenopausal women to seek appropriate oral healthcare which in turn improves systemic health.How to cite this articleKotha R, Sudhakarareddy R, Alapati S.

Published: August 2014

ABSTRACT
Following tooth extraction, cortical bone suffers greater resorption on the vestibular area and patients typically present narrow and low alveolar crests. In case of moderate to severe mandibular atrophy; the bone height between alveolar crest and mental nerve is too narrow and patients may feel pain under pressure. Repositioning of the mental nerve is an effective preprosthetic surgery procedure in patients with hyperesthesia caused by dental prosthesis. As well as this surgical repositioning of the mental nerve facilitates the placement of implants can prevent pain, in overdenture prosthesis and fixed dentures. In this report, mental nerve repositioning, implant placement in the interforaminal region of the mandible and prosthetic rehabilitation of two cases with hyperesthesia due to severe mandibular atrophy is presented. Nerve repositioning may constitute a treatment alternative in patients with a consequent risk of mental nerve damage during the placement of dental implants.

Published: August 2014

ABSTRACT
The term ‘solitary bone cyst’ defines several lesions such as simple bone cyst, hemorrhagic cyst, traumatic bone cyst, and idiopathic bone cavity. Solitary bone cysts are not true cysts, they lack an epithelial lining and their etiology is uncertain. Solitary bone cysts are common lesions affecting long bones and less frequently, the jaws, especially the mandible. Lesions usually presents a typical radiographic appearance. The goal of this paper is to report a case of a solitary bone cyst in a 19-yearold female mimicking multiloculer benign neoplasm and review the literature. The lesion was treated by surgical curettage. No additional treatment, such as a surgical reconstruction or bone graft was needed.

Published: August 2014

ResumoNeste trabalho, são apresentados dados relativos à potencialidade do uso da madeira de Corymbia citriodora, Eucalyptus cloeziana e Eucalyptus dunnii como cruzetas de madeira para redes de distribuição de energia elétrica. Os resultados apresentam o rendimento do processo produtivo para cada espécie, com análise dos ensaios mecânicos de flexão, estudo de penetração em tratamento com o preservativo arseniato de cobre cromatado (CCA) e discussão relativa a considerações econômicas e funcionais do material madeira. A espécie Corymbia citriodora apresentou o melhor rendimento, de 75%, seguido pelo Eucalyptus cloeziana, com 42%. A espécie Eucalyptus dunnii foi desclassificada, por apresentar um rendimento de apenas 7%. Os ensaios mecânicos demonstraram que tanto a espécie Corymbia citriodora quanto a Eucalyptus cloeziana atendem aos requisitos de resistência da norma técnica NBR 8458. No tratamento preservativo das cruzetas, observou-se penetração total de CCA no alburno da espécie Corymbia citriodora, o que, em conjunto com o cerne naturalmente resistente e o rendimento produtivo, classifica essa espécie como a mais indicada entre as estudadas. Com base nos resultados obtidos, conclui-se que o uso de cruzetas de madeira é viável no Brasil, além de menos impactante ao meio ambiente, por se tratar de um recurso natural renovável.Palavras-chave: Madeira tratada; cruzetas; resistência à flexão.

Esta pesquisa avaliou os postos de trabalho em uma fábrica de produção de ferramentas florestais visando otimizar as condições ergonômicas e o layout do processo de produção baseado nos parâmetros ergonômicos e de produtividade. Para analisar o conforto térmico, foi utilizado o índice de bulbo úmido termômetro de globo (IBUTG); para medir a velocidade do vento, anemômetro; luxímetro para avaliar a quantidade de luz do galpão de produção; e decibelímetro, para coletar o ruído a que os trabalhadores estavam expostos. O posicionamento de todas as máquinas foi mensurado junto com o caminhamento no processo de produção, sendo realizado estudo de tempos, movimentos e de produtividade. De acordo com os resultados, a área das forjadoras 1 e 2 apresentou valores de IBUTG acima do limite permitido de 25 °C. A velocidade do vento em todas as atividades foi menor que 0,75 m/s e apenas a região do orvado, área de corte 1 e soldagem apresentaram níveis de iluminância acima do mínimo permitido (NR-15). Todas as atividades extrapolaram os níveis de ruído toleráveis para a atividade, exceto o envernizamento. Pela análise do layout, propõe-se uma nova disposição física, para reduzir os tempos improdutivos, melhorar as condições ergonômicas e facilitar a sequência de produção e escoamento dos produtos.Palavras-chave: Ergonomia; arranjo físico; produção de ferramentas. AbstractLayout adequacy of a forestry tool factory for ergonomic parameters. This research evaluated the work in a forestry tools factory in order to optimize ergonomic condition and layout of production process based on ergonomic parameters and productivity. Different methods had been used to analyze the factory environment as the Wet Bulb Globe Thermometer Index (WBGT), to analyze thermal comfort, the anemometer, to measure the wind speed, the lux meter, to assess the amount of light inside the production building, and decibel meter, to collect the workers exposure to noise. The placement of all the machines was measured along the development pathway of the production process, and studies of time, movements and productivity had been developed. According to the results, the area of forger 1 and 2 had values above the allowable WBGT limit of 25 °C. The wind speed in all activities was less than 0.75 m/s and only the region of orvado, welding and cutting area 1 presented illumination levels over the minimum allowed (NR-15).
