Authors: Kane-Gill Sandra L. , Smithburger Pamela L. , Williams Evan A. , Felton Maria A. , Wang Nan , Seybert Amy L. 
Published: February 2015

Purpose: A previous study of cases published approximately 10–30 years ago reveals that substantial improvement in the quality of adverse drug reaction (ADR) case reports is needed. Since that evaluation, recommendations are available concerning the content and formatting of case reports. Objective: To compare the quality of recently published ADR case reports to a previously published study of the quality of ADR case reports from 10–30 years ago. A secondary objective is to determine the quality of reporting by specialty journal. Methods: This was a two-phase study. Phase 1 included an assessment of the 23 patient, drug and ADR variables evaluated in the previous study to allow comparison with recently published case reports in specialty journals. Phase 2 mimicked the methods of Phase 1 with a random selection of available case reports in a 1-year period from a variety of journals. Results: For Phase 1, 19 of the 23 variables had significant differences in reporting compared with the previous study. Reporting of active diseases, social history, weight, race, other drugs and dose had frequencies ranging from 25 to 80%, which was an improvement, but affording an opportunity for greater improvement. For Phase 2, 21 of the 23 variables had significant differences compared with the previous evaluation; however illicit drug use, mechanism for ADR and route of administration had significant reductions in reporting. Conclusion: Progress has been made in ADR case reporting quality for a variety of journals, but more improvement is required to ensure data are understandable and relatable to patient care.

Authors: Blackwood Stuart , Hsu Richard 
Published: February 2015

Objectives: Duplication of the inferior vena cava (IVC) complicates interventional procedures. This case report aims to shed light on this unusual anomaly and the preoperative considerations necessary when treatment of venous thromboembolism is undertaken. Methods: An IRB approved case report of a 58 year old woman presented emergently with right lower extremity phlegmasia due to extensive thrombosis of her right iliofemoral and infrarenal portion of her duplicated IVC. Results: The patient underwent IVC filter placement and rheolytic thrombectomy with thrombolysis using the Angiojet device followed by venoplasty and stenting of the iliofemoral system and right IVC. Complete symptomatic and radiographic resolution on duplex imaging was achieved at 1 year follow up. Conclusions: With adequate preoperative awareness of IVC anomalies and treatment options available satisfactory results can be achieved and complications minimized for this unique patient population.

AbstractIntroductionMortality and disability following ischemic stroke (IS) remains unacceptably high with respect to the conventional therapies. This study tested the effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on long-term neurological outcome in patients after acute IS. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two consecutive doses of EPO (5,000 IU/dose, subcutaneously administered at 48 hours and 72 hours after acute IS) on improving the 90-day combined endpoint of recurrent stroke or death that has been previously reported. A secondary objective was to evaluate the long-term (that is, five years) outcome of patients who received EPO.MethodsThis was a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial that was conducted between October 2008 and March 2010 in a tertiary referral center. IS stroke patients who were eligible for EPO therapy were enrolled into the study.ResultsThe results showed that long-term recurrent stroke and mortality did not differ between group 1 (placebo-control; n = 71) and group 2 (EPO-treated; n = 71).Long-term Barthel index of <35 (defining a severe neurological deficit) was lower in group 2 than group 1 (P = 0.007). Multiple-stepwise logistic-regression analysis showed that EPO therapy was significantly and independently predictive of freedom from a Barthel index of <35 (P = 0.029). Long-term major adverse neurological event (MANE; defined as: death, recurrent stroke, or long-term Barthel index < 35) was lower in group 2 than group 1 (P = 0.04). Log-Rank test showed that MANE-free rate was higher in group 2 than group 1 (P = 0.031). Multiple-stepwise Cox-regression analysis showed that EPO therapy and higher Barthel Index at day 90 were independently predictive of freedom from long-term MANE (allP<0.04).ConclusionEPO therapy significantly improved long-term neurological outcomes in patients after IS.Trial registrationISRCTN71371114.

A step-by-step construction site photography procedure to enhance the efficiency of as-built data visualization: a case study
Authors: Jadidi Hossein , Ravanshadnia Mehdi , Hosseinalipour Mujtaba , Rahmani Fatemeh 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
Introduction
Visualization of as-built data may change the future of construction project management to a more efficient area of knowledge if appropriate and easy photography and reconstruction tools would be developed and used by practitioners. Most of the current reconstructed 3D point cloud models use unordered photograph collections to generate 4D as-built models. Some of these photographs are not used in the final model mostly because of either a possible overlap with other photos or some faults in photography procedure. Computation time increases exponentially as the number of photos in a photo collection increases. Therefore, the unstructured processes may reduce the performance of a point-cloud model representation. This work shows how the available application of unordered photograph collections are regularly inefficient by measuring the performance of some important criteria, such as the registration success score and the computation time.

Case description
The case study is the construction of a gas compressor station. Such industrial projects involve several building and work areas (e.g., substation, control building, and piping area). The construction site covers approximately 20 hectares. The case study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, preexisting images have been used for image based modelling (IBM). In the second stage, images captured based on a step-by-step photography procedure (SPP) have been used for IBM.

Discussion and evaluation
IBM performance in the first stage of the case study has been compared with the performance of the second stage by comparing the registration success scores. The IBM in the first stage of the case study results in sparse models, which hardly show the geometry of construction scenes. By contrast, capturing images based on the SPP in the second stage of the case study significantly changed the performance of IBM and increased the registration success score.

Conclusion
This study provides an easy applicable on-site photography procedure. By adopting the proposed approach and by training the photographers, the model would be more desirable for application in more construction projects. The application of the SPP in the case study shows a significant improvement in the final reconstructed 3D point cloud model and as-built data visualization criteria.
Co-translational membrane association of the Escherichia coli SRP receptor
Authors: Bercovich-Kinori Adi , Bibi Eitan 
Published: February 2015

ABSTRACT
The signal recognition particle (SRP) receptor is a major player in the pathway of membrane protein biogenesis in all organisms. The receptor functions as a membrane-bound entity but very little is known about its targeting to the membrane. Here, we demonstrate in vivo that the Escherichia coli SRP receptor targets the membrane co-translationally. This requires emergence from the ribosome of the four-helix-long N-domain of the receptor, of which only helices 2–4 are required for co-translational membrane attachment. The results also suggest that the targeting might be regulated co-translationally. Taken together, our in vivo studies shed light on the biogenesis of the SRP receptor and its hypothetical role in targeting ribosomes to the E. coli membrane.

Abstract
A bichromophoric cationic iridium complex having a pyrene-substituted bipyridine ligand acts as a sensitizer for visible-light-driven electron transport from ascorbate (an electron donor) to methyl viologen (an electron acceptor) across hydrophobic vesicle membrane without any additional components acting as electron carriers.
Book Reviews
Authors: Saltzman Matthew J. 
Published: February 2015

The INFORMS Journal on Computing Book Review section covers books on subjects at the interface between operations research and computer science. We welcome books on theory, applications, computer systems, and generally any subject covered by an IJOC Area, or any combination of these. This includes both printed and electronic books. In addition, we consider comparative reviews, i.e. several books on one relevant topic. Team reviews are also possible, particularly for a large, broad-scope book such as an encyclopedia. Please send your suggestions for books to be reviewed to the IJOC book reviews editor. This issue contains two reviews of books in the area of computational algebra and geometry, which is of increasing importance in discrete optimization. Modern Computer Algebra, Third Edition, by Joachim von zur Gathen and Jürgen Gerhard is a general introduction to the field, suitable for use as a text or research-level introduction. It covers algorithms for problems involving integers and polynomials. Reviewer Michael Burr calls the book, “practically useful while theoretically complete, providing intuition for the newcomer while also pointing the expert to more history and cutting edge results.” While Gathen and Gerhard’s book serves as an introduction to the field, Algebraic and Geometric Ideas in the Theory of Discrete Optimization, by Jesus A. De Loera, Raymond Hemmecke, and Matthias Köppe (reviewed by Jon Lee), connects those ideas to optimization. Lee reports that the book is oriented toward researchers who know discrete optimization as operations researchers and mathematical programmers who want to learn about advances made possible by applying methods from other areas of discrete mathematics.
Dapper dudes: Young men’s fashion consumption and expressions of masculinity
Authors: Barry Ben , Martin Dylan 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
Men’s fashion is offering a growing selection of diverse and gender-blurring clothing for mainstream male consumers. This research explores the influence of these contemporary clothing trends on the dressing practices and gendered identities of style-conscious young men – a group of consumers whose voices are scarce in fashion research. Findings from the Canadian sample reveal that young men develop an idiosyncratic and creative sense of style to express their identities. While shifts in menswear and culture have inspired them to participate in fashion, social norms continue to prevent men from fully experimenting with dress. This study reveals the factors that influence young men’s fashion consumption and highlights changes in their consumer practices, including their use of social media. Fashion professionals will glean an understanding of Generation Y men’s fashion consumption habits and attitudes. They are advised to develop brands that focus on creativity and community to reach this audience.

Implementation of SQLite database support in program gama-local
Authors: Petráš Václav 
Published: February 2015

The program gama-local is a part of GNU Gama project and allows adjustment of local geodetic networks. Before realization of this project the program gama-local supported only XML as an input. I designed and implemented support for the SQLite database and thanks to this extension gama-local can read input data from the SQLite database. This article is focused on the specifics of the use of callback functions in C++ using the native SQLite C/C++ Application Programming Interface. The article provides solution to safe calling of callback functions written in C++. Callback functions are called from C library and C library itself is used by C++ program. Provided solution combines several programing techniques which are described in detail, so this article can serve as a cookbook even for beginner programmers. This project was accomplished within my bachelor thesis.
The variational iteration method for solving the Volterra integro-differential forms of the Lane-Emden and the Emden-Fowler problems with initial and boundary value conditions
Authors: Wazwaz Abdul-Majid , Khuri Suheil A. 
Published: February 2015

AbstractIn this paper, the variational iteration method (VIM) is used to examine the Volterra integro-differential forms of the singular Lane–Emden and the Emden–Fowler initial value problems and boundary value problems arising in physics, astrophysics and stellar structures. The Volterra integro-differential forms of the Lane–Emden and the Emden–Fowler equations overcome the singularity behavior at the origin x = 0. The Lagrange multiplier, needed for the VIM, is λ = −1 for the various cases of the specified equations having distinct shape factors. We illustrate our work by analyzing few initial value problems and boundary value problems to emphasize the convergence of the acquired results.

Abstract
A series of 38 new derivatives of cyclic imides containing silicon in the structure was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, ESI-MS, and elemental analysis. Selected compounds (1l,m, 1g, 1o,p, 2l,m, and 2o,p) were tested for their cytotoxic properties in human chronic myelogenous leukemia (K562), human cervical cancer (HeLa), and normal endothelial cells (HUVEC). Seven compounds showed significant cytotoxicity. In addition, two compounds (1l and 2l) were tested toward affinity for 5-HT1A, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 serotonin receptors, and all aryl/heteroarylopiperazino derivatives were tested for antimicrobial activity. The compounds tested toward affinity for selected serotonin receptors showed high and moderate affinity for 5-HT1A and 5-HT7, while the antimicrobial activity of tested compounds was not significant.

Abstract
Novel rel-(5R,6S,7S)-2-oxo-5,7-diaryl-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazol-6-yl-oxo-acetic acids were synthesized in 52–70% yields via regioselective and diastereoselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of 5-arylidene-4-thioxo-2-thiazolidinones with a series of arylidene pyruvic acids. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for anticancer activity in NCI60 cancer cell lines and for antiexudative activity on the carrageenan edema model in rats. Biological screening data led to identification of 3e as having moderate antitumor activity on the colon cancer HT-29 cell line and of 3b as having promising antiexudative effect.

The main idea is to derive the magneto gas dynamic equations from the Boltzmann equation using a complex distribution function, including the electromagnetic terms. The derived equations were used for the formulation of the explicit numerical method of solution for the high performance parallel computing systems. The numerical experiments were performed for the verification of the chosen method.

Published: February 2015

The rac-lipoato (lip-) complexes [Zn(lip)2(H2O)2] (1) and [Cd(lip)2(H2O)2] (2) were obtained in good yields from solutions of sodium lipoate and the respective metal nitrate in methanol/water. 1 and 2 form pale yellow, moderately light-sensitive crystals.
Both compounds were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1: C2/c, a = 39.958(6), b = 5.360(1), c = 10.794(1) Å, β = 95.76(1)°, Z = 4, wR2 = 0.150 (all data). 2: C2/c, a = 38.200(2), b = 5.472(1), c = 11.179(1) Å, β = 92.72(1)°, Z = 4, wR2 = 0.090 (all data). The metal ions are hexacoordinated by the oxygen atoms of two chelating carboxylate ligands and two aqua ligands. The crystal structures are very similar but not isotypic. They are layer structures, in which the complexes within a layer are interconnected by a network of hydrogen bonds. Adjacent layers have contacts via the 1,2-dithiolanyl rings of their lipoato ligands.
Crystals of 1 and 2 decompose on exposure to visible light or ultraviolet radiation in the 280-390 nm range. Photopolymerization by formation of intermolecular S-S bonds is very probably involved. Furthermore, the infrared spectra reveal the transformation of COO- into COOH groups

Abstract
The new compound SrCuTe2O6 has been prepared by quenching single crystals grown from a flux of SrCO3, TeO2 and CuCO3·Cu(OH)2. X-ray investigations show cubic symmetry, space group O7-P41 32, lattice constant a = 12.473(1), Z = 12. The crystal structure is characterized by square planar CuO4 polygons and a one-sided open triangular oxygen coordination of Te4+, both incorporated in a Sr/O network. The one sided oxygen coordination of tellurium is completed by the lone pair of Te4+. Calculations of the Coulomb parts of lattice energy led to the position of the lone pair centre.
