Published: October 2014

Background—
We aimed to test, for the first time, the feasibility of intracoronary delivery of an innovative, injectable bioabsorbable scaffold (IK-5001), to prevent or reverse adverse left ventricular remodeling and dysfunction in patients after ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction.

Methods and Results—
Patients (n=27) with moderate-to-large ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarctions, after successful revascularization, were enrolled. Two milliliters of IK-5001, a solution of 1% sodium alginate plus 0.3% calcium gluconate, was administered by selective injection through the infarct-related coronary artery within 7 days after myocardial infarction. IK-5001 is assumed to permeate the infarcted tissue, cross-linking into a hydrogel and forming a bioabsorbable cardiac scaffold. Coronary angiography, 3 minutes after injection, confirmed that the injection did not impair coronary flow and myocardial perfusion. Furthermore, IK-5001 deployment was not associated with additional myocardial injury or re-elevation of cardiac biomarkers. Clinical assessments, echocardiographic studies, 12-lead electrocardiograms, 24-hour Holter monitoring, blood tests, and completion of Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaires were repeated during follow-up visits at 30, 90, and 180 days after treatment. During a 6-month follow-up, these tests confirmed favorable tolerability of the procedure, without device-related adverse events, serious arrhythmias, blood test abnormalities, or death. Serial echocardiographic studies showed preservation of left ventricular indices and left ventricular ejection fraction.

Conclusions—
This first-in-man pilot study shows that intracoronary deployment of an IK-5001 scaffold is feasible and well tolerated. Our results have promoted the initiation of a multicenter, randomized controlled trial to confirm the safety and efficacy of this new approach in high-risk patients after ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction.

Producing the 'guilt of indifference' and the category of "indifferent witness". A case study of Jan Błoński’s 'Biedni Polacy patrzą na getto'Błoński’s article Biedni Polacy patrzą na getto (1987) is regarded as a milestone for the Polish awareness of the Holocaust. Błoński tried to tackle the issue of the Polish complicity, and his narration updated an important model in the Polish culture. It contained some facts about the wartime reality, but at the same time it overturned much of the knowledge about those times and rendered it mostly transparent. The analysis of Błoński’s article allowed me to elucidate the relation between the catharsis effect and the denial, which appeared as the effect of the article. The paper attempts at answering some important questions: What is the Polish complicity according to Błoński? What are the different perceptions of the relations between Poles and Jews? What is the perception of the majority? How the different opinions on the Polish complicity in the Holocaust are legitimised by the majority? How are they removed and delegitimised at the same time?[The article was prepared with financial support of the NPRH.] Wytwarzanie „winy obojętności” oraz kategorii „obojętnego świadka” na przykładzie artykułu Jana Błońskiego „Biedni Polacy patrzą na getto”Tekst Jana Błońskiego Biedni Polacy patrzą na getto (1987) uznaje się za przełomowy dla polskiej świadomości zbiorowej dotyczącej Zagłady.

Zawiera elementy wiedzy o wojennych realiach, a jednocześnie ją unieważnia i czyni w dużym stopniu niewidoczną. Analiza tekstu Błońskiego pozwala uchwycić związek między efektem przełomu i jednoczesnym wyparciem.

Modernistyczny terror, czyli krótko o "tunnel vision" Jamesa C. Scotta
Authors: Pietryka Mateusz 
Published: October 2014

The terror of modernism or Scott’s 'tunnel vision' The article analyses James C. Scott’s book Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed. Scott’s book examines different aspects of a modern state’s activity and its methods of control over the population. Scott describes diverse failures in state planning and links them to the ideology of what he terms “high modernism”. Scott states that this ideology results in over confidence in scientific progress and omnipresent simplifications, since a modernist plan does not recognize the importance of local knowledge and tradition.Though the book clearly illustrates how the fore-mentioned centralist approach leads to failures, its methodology, however, lacks the critical analysis of the nature of governance and liberal economy. Furthermore, Scott offers no insight on the late capitalism nor legible solutions for the described issues. He seems to be unaware of constructing his own “tunnel vision” by selective case studies and building the narration on simplified oppositions. Modernistyczny terror, czyli krótko o tunnel vision Jamesa C. ScottaArtykuł jest analizą książki Jamesa Scotta, Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed.

Autor opisuje rożnego typu niepowodzenia wynikające z państwowego planowania i wiąże je z ideologią nazwaną przez siebie „zaawansowanym modernizmem”. Scott twierdzi, że skutkuje ona pokładaniem nadmiernej wiary w postęp naukowy i wszechobecnymi uproszczeniami, ponieważ modernistyczny plan nie uznaje znaczenia lokalnej wiedzy i tradycji.Choć książka jasno pokazuje, jak wspomniane centralistyczne podejście kończy się porażkami, jej metodologii brakuje krytycznej analizy natury władzy i liberalnej ekonomii. Ponadto Scott pomija temat późnego kapitalizmu i jasnych rozwiązań opisywanych problemów. Wydaje się, iż poprzez selektywne studia przypadku i budowanie narracji na uproszczonych opozycjach nieświadomie konstruuje swoje własne tunnel vision.
Two Approaches for Statistical Prediction of Non-Gaussian Climate Extremes: A Case Study of Macao Hot Extremes during 1912–2012
Authors: Qian Cheng , Zhou Wen , Fong Soi Kun , Leong Ka Cheng 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
The Gaussian assumption has been widely used without testing in many previous studies on climate variability and change that have used traditional statistical methods to estimate linear trends, diagnose physical mechanisms, or construct statistical prediction/downscaling models. In this study, the authors carefully test the normality of two hot extreme indices in Macao, China, during the last 100 years based on consecutive daily temperature observational data and find that the occurrences of both hot day and hot night indices are non-Gaussian. Simple least squares fitting is shown to overestimate the linear trend when the Gaussian assumption is violated. Two approaches are further proposed to statistically predict non-Gaussian temperature extremes: one uses a multiple linear regression model after transforming the non-Gaussian predictant to a quasi-Gaussian variable and uses Pearson’s correlation test to identify potential predictors, and the other uses a generalized linear model when the transformation is difficult and uses a nonparametric Spearman’s correlation test to identify potential predictors. The annual occurrences of hot days and hot nights in Macao are used as examples of these two approaches, respectively. The physical mechanisms for these two hot extremes in Macao are also investigated, and the results show that both are related to the interannual and interdecadal variability of a coupled El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)–East Asian summer monsoon system. Finally, the authors caution other researchers to test the assumed distribution of climate extremes and to apply appropriate statistical approaches.
Description and Analysis of the Ocean Component of NOAA’s Operational Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model (HWRF)
Authors: Yablonsky Richard M. , Ginis Isaac , Thomas Biju , Tallapragada Vijay , Sheinin Dmitry , Bernardet Ligia 
Published: October 2014

AbstractThe Princeton Ocean Model for Tropical Cyclones (POM-TC), a version of the three-dimensional primitive equation numerical ocean model known as the Princeton Ocean Model, was the ocean component of NOAA’s operational Hurricane Weather Research and Forecast Model (HWRF) from 2007 to 2013. The coupled HWRF–POM-TC system facilitates accurate tropical cyclone intensity forecasts through proper simulation of the evolving SST field under simulated tropical cyclones. In this study, the 2013 operational version of HWRF is used to analyze the POM-TC ocean temperature response in retrospective HWRF–POM-TC forecasts of Atlantic Hurricanes Earl (2010), Igor (2010), Irene (2011), Isaac (2012), and Leslie (2012) against remotely sensed and in situ SST and subsurface ocean temperature observations. The model generally underestimates the hurricane-induced upper-ocean cooling, particularly far from the storm track, as well as the upwelling and downwelling oscillation in the cold wake, compared with observations. Nonetheless, the timing of the model SST cooling is generally accurate (after accounting for along-track timing errors), and the ocean model’s vertical temperature structure is generally in good agreement with observed temperature profiles from airborne expendable bathythermographs.

Published: October 2014

Abstract

Introduction
The axillary artery presents abnormalities in its origin and course and a variable branching.

Case description
A rare case of axillary artery bifurcation and branching was observed in a 60-years-old European male cadaver of Greek origin. The right axillary artery at the second part was bifurcated into a superficial and a deep brachial artery. The superficial brachial artery anteromedial to the median nerve and lateral to the ulnar nerve gave off the acromio-thoracic artery and two lateral thoracic arteries. The deep brachial artery behind the median nerve, after giving rise to the anterior circumflex humeral artery trifurcated into a branch that coursed distally, the posterior circumflex humeral artery and the subscapular artery. The latter subdivided into the circumflex scapular artery, a muscular branch for the subscapularis and the thoracodorsal artery. The continuation of the deep brachial artery divided laterally into a humeral nutrient artery and medially into a trunk which trifurcated into the profunda brachii artery, a deep muscular branch and a branch to the posterior compartment of the arm. The profunda brachii artery ended as radial and middle collateral arteries.

Discussion and evaluation
Deviations from the normal arterial pattern are of immense significance for anatomists, plastic, cardiovascular and orthopedic surgeons, vascular radiologists and interventional cardiologists.

Published: October 2014

AbstractBackgroundThe Malays consist of various sub-ethnic groups which are believed to have different ancestral origins based on their migrations centuries ago. The sub-ethnic groups can be divided based on the region they inhabit; the northern (Melayu KedahandMelayu Kelantan), western (Melayu Minang) and southern parts (Melayu BugisandMelayu Jawa) of Peninsular Malaysia. We analyzed 54,794 autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which were shared by 472 unrelated individuals from 17 populations to determine the genetic structure and distributions of the ancestral genetic components in five Malay sub-ethnic groups namelyMelayu Bugis,Melayu Jawa,Melayu Minang,Melayu Kedah, andMelayu Kelantan. We also have included in the analysis 12 other study populations from Thailand, Indonesia, China, India, Africa andOrang Aslisub-groups in Malay Peninsula, obtained from the Pan Asian SNP Initiative (PASNPI) Consortium and International HapMap project database.ResultsWe found evidence of genetic influx from Indians to Malays, more inMelayu KedahandMelayu Kelantanwhich are genetically different from the other Malay sub-ethnic groups, but similar to ThaiPattani. More than 98% of these northern Malays haplotypes could be found in either Indians or Chinese populations, indicating a highly admixture pattern among populations. Nevertheless, the ancestry lines of Malays, Indonesians and Thais were traced back to have shared a common ancestor with the Proto-Malays and Chinese.ConclusionsThese results support genetic admixtures in the Peninsular Malaysia Malay populations and provided valuable information on the enigmatic demographical history as well as shed some insights into the origins of the Malays in the Malay Peninsula.
Photochemical Cleavage of the Axial Group Attached to the Central Carbon Atom of Triazatriangulene
Authors: Yokoyama Soichi , Hirose Takashi , Matsuda Kenji 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
Photocleavage reaction of triazatriangulene (TATA) leuco derivatives bearing axial substituents proceeded quantitatively in polar solvents with quantum yields (Φr) of up to 0.56. The photoreaction can easily be detected by the red color and yellow fluorescence originating from the photogenerated TATA cation. Electron-withdrawing groups on the axial substituent effectively suppress the photoreaction, in a particular case, Φr became less than 0.01.

Stochastic polynomial chaos based algorithm for solving PDEs with random coefficients
Authors: Shalimova Irina A. , Sabelfeld Karl K. 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
A generalization of a polynomial chaos-based algorithm for solving PDEs with random input data
is suggested. The input random field is assumed to be defined by its mean and correlation function.
The method uses the Karhunen–Loève expansion, in its analytical form, for the input random field.
Potentially, however, if desired, the
Karhunen–Loève expansion can be also constructed by a randomized singular value decomposition of the correlation function recently
suggested in our paper [Math. Comput. Simulation 82 (2011), 295–317].
The polynomial chaos expansion is then constructed by
resolving a probabilistic collocation-based system of linear equations. The method is compared against a direct Monte Carlo
method which solves repeatedly many times the PDE for a set of samples of the input random field.
Along with the commonly used statistical characteristics like the mean and variance of the solution,
we were able to calculate more sophisticated functionals like the instant velocity samples and the mean
for Eulerian and Lagrangian velocity fields.
Vibratory Cavitation Erosion With Vibrating and Stationary Specimens
Authors: Meged Y. 
Published: October 2014

AbstractIn the framework of the International Cavitation Erosion Test (ICET), 119 vibratory cavitation erosion tests were performed. Seventy of these tests were with vibrating specimens (VRV), and forty-nine with stationary specimens (VRS). From these tests, twenty tests of each type were chosen for this study. VRV tests are covered by ASTM G32-10, whereas for VRS, no standard has yet been published. This anomaly stems from the difficulties encountered in both testing and evaluating of VRS tests. All forty cavitation erosion–time curves were analyzed by the Transient Response for Erosion (TRE) method. For each curve, all three parameters were determined, namely: time lag (TL), time constant (τ), and the asymptotic value of the mean depth of erosion, mean depth of erosion (MDE) MDEMAX. These parameters were further applied to calculate the scatter of test results as obtained from various specimens tested under identical conditions. This method enables the determination of the absolute and relative scatter values at any time value along the test. Finally, several guidelines are specified for preparation of a future VRS standard.
A Screen for F1 Hybrid Male Rescue Reveals No Major-Effect Hybrid Lethality Loci in theDrosophila melanogasterAutosomal Genome

AbstractHybrid sons between Drosophila melanogaster females and D. simulans males die as 3rd instar larvae. Two genes, D. melanogaster Hybrid male rescue (Hmr) on the X chromosome, and D. simulans Lethal hybrid rescue (Lhr) on chromosome II, interact to cause this lethality. Loss-of-function mutations in either gene suppress lethality, but several pieces of evidence suggest that additional factors are required for hybrid lethality. Here we screen the D. melanogaster autosomal genome by using the Bloomington Stock Center Deficiency kit to search for additional regions that can rescue hybrid male lethality. Our screen is designed to identify putative hybrid incompatibility (HI) genes similar to Hmr and Lhr which, when removed, are dominant suppressors of lethality. After screening 89% of the autosomal genome, we found no regions that rescue males to the adult stage. We did, however, identify several regions that rescue up to 13% of males to the pharate adult stage. This weak rescue suggests the presence of multiple minor-effect HI loci, but we were unable to map these loci to high resolution, presumably because weak rescue can be masked by genetic background effects. We attempted to test one candidate, the dosage compensation gene male specific lethal-3 (msl-3), by using RNA interference with short hairpin microRNA constructs targeted specifically against D. simulans msl-3 but failed to achieve knockdown, in part due to off-target effects. We conclude that the D. melanogaster autosomal genome likely does not contain additional major-effect HI loci. We also show that Hmr is insufficient to fully account for the lethality associated with the D. melanogaster X chromosome, suggesting that additional X-linked genes contribute to hybrid lethality.
An improved two-stage sintering method for tungsten heavy alloys: conventional solid-phase sintering followed by microwave heating
Authors: Zhang Jiajia , Liu Wensheng , Ma Yunzhu , Ye Xiaoshan , Wu Yayu 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
93W-4.9Ni-2.1Fe (wt.%) alloys were fabricated by means of conventional two-stage sintering, direct microwave sintering and improved two-stage sintering. A more homogeneous microstructure was found in both the direct microwave sintered alloy and the improved two-stage sintered alloy. Numerous pores were present in the direct microwave sintered alloy, but few could be seen in the improved two-stage sintered alloy. The mechanical properties of the improved two-stage sintered alloy were greatly enhanced as compared to those of the direct microwave sintered alloy. These findings suggested that the improved two-stage sintering had little negative effect on absorbing microwaves and could reduce pore defects, which implied a promising sintering process for tungsten heavy alloys and others with liquid stage sintering.

Abstract
Co(OH)2–graphene composite was prepared through a simultaneous hydrothermal method. The structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of the obtained samples were systematically investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, cyclic voltammetry measurements showed that the Co(OH)2–graphene electrode material had an excellent electrochemical capacitance.
