Formation of Oxygenated and Hydrocarbon Intermediates in
Premixed Combustion of 2-Methylfuran
Authors: Moshammer Kai , Lucassen Arnas , Togbé Casimir , Kohse-Höinghaus Katharina , Hansen Nils 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
This paper focuses on the combustion chemistry of 2-methylfuran
(2-MF), a potential biofuel, and it is built on the previous work of
Tran et al. [Combust. Flame 161 (2014) 766]. In
their work, they had combined detailed flame chemistry modeling with
flame speciation data based on flame-sampling molecular beam mass
spectrometry (MBMS) with electron ionization and gas chromatography
with MS detection. In this work, we significantly extend those
previous studies by in-situ isomer-resolving species
identification and quantification. Specifically, we have determined
the detailed chemical structure of a premixed laminar 2-MF flame using
flame-sampling high-resolution MBMS with synchrotron-generated
vacuum-ultraviolet radiation. Mole fraction profiles of 60
intermediate, reactant, and product species were measured in order to
assess the pollutant potential of this possible next-generation
biofuel. Special emphasis is paid towards the fuel's ability to form
aromatic and oxygenated intermediates during incomplete combustion
processes, with the latter species representing a variety of different
classes including alcohols, ethers, enols, ketones, aldehydes, acids,
and ketenes. Whenever possible the experimental data are compared to
the results of model calculations using the 2-MF combustion chemistry
model of Tran et al., but it should be noted that many newly
detected species are not included in the calculations. The
experimental data presented in this work provides guidance towards to
development of a next-generation 2-MF combustion chemistry model.
Simplified Descriptions of Cool-Flame Chemistry
Authors: Williams Forman A. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Correct detailed chemical-kinetic descriptions of the consequences of
the additions of oxygen molecules to alkyl radicals involve large
numbers of elementary steps. The resulting complexity of the system of
equations needed to describe combustion processes often taxes
computational capabilities. Simplified descriptions of the chemical
kinetics that retain essential elements of the results therefore can
be useful for a number of purposes, even though they fail to include
many of the chemical processes. Such simplified descriptions for
combustion processes are presented here for certain normal
alkanes. Their potential utility and prospects for future developments
are discussed.

Published: November 2014

Context and objectivePatients with cranial diabetes insipidus (CDI) are at risk of developing both hypernatraemia and hyponatraemia, due to the condition itself or secondary to treatment with vasopressin-analogues or during administration of i.v. fluids. We aimed to assess the frequency and impact of dysnatraemias in the inpatient (INPT) and outpatient (OPT) setting in desmopressin-treated CDI, comparing those with normal thirst with those with abnormal thirst.DesignThe study included 192 patients with cranial diabetes, who were identified from the Beaumont Pituitary Database, a tertiary referral centre. Retrospective case note audit was performed and the clinical and biochemical information of 147 patients with CDI were available for analysis.ResultsA total of 4142 plasma sodium measurements for 137 patients with normal thirst, and 385 plasma sodium measurements for ten patients with abnormal thirst were analysed. In those with normal thirst, the most common OPT abnormality was mild hyponatraemia (pNa+131–134 mmol/l) in 27%, while 14.6% had more significant hyponatraemia (pNa+≤130 mmol/l). Of those patients with normal thirst, 5.8% were admitted due to complications directly related to hyponatraemia. Compared with patients with normal thirst, those with abnormal thirst were more likely to develop significant OPT hypernatraemia (20% vs 1.4%,P=0.02) and significant INPT hyponatraemia (50% vs 11.1%,P0.02).ConclusionOPT management of CDI is complicated by a significant incidence of hyponatraemia. In contrast, OPT hypernatraemia is almost exclusively a complication seen in adipsic CDI, who also had more frequent INPT hyponatraemia. CDI associated with thirst disorder requires increased physician attention and patient awareness of potential complications.

Published: November 2014

Background: Nonresolving pneumonia is a pneumonia with a delayed or slow resolution of radiographic infiltrates or clinical symptoms despite adequate treatment with antibiotics for a minimum period of 10 days. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) and CT guided FNAC has a specific role in diagnosis of Non resolving pneumonia. Aims and Objectives: To assess the diagnostic efficacy of fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) and computed tomography (CT)- guided fi ne needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in evaluation of non-resolving or slowly resolving pneumonia with special emphasis on clinical outcome. Material and Methods: The study was designed as a prospective observational study. We reviewed FOB in Sixty-five consecutive patients of Non-resolving pneumonia admitted under Respiratory Medicine unit of Sri aurobindo medical college and PG Institute Indore from June 2012 to May 2014. We also reviewed role of CT guided FNAC in selected case where FOB result was inconclusive. Result: Out of total Sixty-five case of non resolving pneumonia, Fifty-two patient (81%) were diagnosed with the help of FOB and Eleven patients (91%) were diagnosed with help of CT guided FNAC out of Twelve patient subjected for procedure. Conclusion: FOB should be the first option before CT-guided FNAC in evaluating non-resolving pneumonia. Both the procedures were safe and no major complication was observed.

Objectives: To determine the seroprevalence of HBsAg in the prevalence of HBsAg positivity among male and female blood donors. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in blood bank. Voluntary and replacement blood donors including male and female donors over a period of two years six month to assess the prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection. ELISA method and alternatively Hepacard kit were used for screening the donors. Results: A retrospective study was carried on 7,018 blood donors out of which males were 5,936 and 1,082 were females. The prevalence of HBsAg sero positivity in 2011 July to December in male donors were 2.8%; in female donors 0.0%; 2012 January to December in male donors were 2.9% and female donors were 0.3%; 2013 January to December in male donors were 1.8% and Female donors were 0.0% . Overall prevalence was estimated to be 7.8%. Conclusion: Hepatitis B infection remains a significant public health problem in India and its seroprevalence was more as compared to other transfusion transmitted infections, especially in younger age group. The increasing prevalence of HBsAg can be reduced by more sensitive screening assays.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i3.10862Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(3) 2015 12-15
An unexpected case of bilateral kidneys studded with multiple abscesses, in a nondiabetic healthy woman-A case report
Authors: Kamble Vijaya , Mitra Kajal 
Published: November 2014

Bilateral multiple renal abscesses have been found in individuals with predisposing factors but are infrequently encountered in otherwise healthy individuals. In our case , a lady presented with history of fever and chills with bilateral renal angle tenderness. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed both kidneys to be studded with multiple renal abscesses of varying sizes. USG Guided percutaneous aspiration was done to establish the correct diagnosis and identify the causative micro organism. Her blood culture and urine culture were negative. The patient was successfully treated with combined intravenous and oral course of antibiotics. In conclusion, as contrary to the usual belief, bilateral renal abscesses can occur in a healthy individual without any history of diabetes or immunocompromised status. In addition full recovery is possible solely with antibiotics. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i3.10933Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(3) 2015 91-93

Authors: Takkar Jaspreet , Bansal Babita , Grover Ganagandeep Singh , Manchanda K. C. 
Published: November 2014

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is an important health issue throughout the world. It is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder. Neuropathy is the most precocious and frequent late complication of diabetes mellitus. Evoked potentials offer the possibility to perform a functional evaluation of neural pathways in the central nervous system. Aims and Objectives: This study is a modest attempt to find the relationship of central diabetic neuropathy with the disease, if any, by evaluating the brainstem auditory evoked potentials. Materials and Methods: Brainstem auditory evoked potentials were recorded in type-2 diabetic patients taken from OPD of Medicine department of Guru Nanak Dev Hospital, Amritsar. Patients were divided into three groups based upon the duration of disease. The parameters recorded were absolute latencies of waves I, III and V & Inter-peak latencies (IPL) I-III, I-V, III-V. Results: The results showed no statistically significant changes in any of the above parameters. Discussion: This could be attributed to fairly good glycemic control of the patients included in the study. Thus, we conclude that patients with good glycemic control develop no auditory peripheral or central diabetic neuropathy irrespective of the duration of disease. However this study has its own limitations and further research is required to substantiate these results.

OBJECT
The incidence of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) due to mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) can be high in developing countries. Current diagnosis of MTS relies on structural MRI, which is generally unavailable in developing world settings. Given widespread effects on temporal lobe structure beyond hippocampal atrophy in TLE, the authors propose that CT volumetric analysis can be used in patient selection to help predict outcomes following resection.

METHODS
Ten pediatric patients received preoperative CT scans and temporal resections at the CURE Children's Hospital of Uganda. Engel classification of seizure control was determined 12 months postoperatively. Temporal lobe volumes were measured from CT and from normative MR images using the Cavalieri method. Whole brain and fluid volumes were measured using particle filter segmentation. Linear discrimination analysis (LDA) was used to classify seizure outcome by temporal lobe volumes and normalized brain volume.

RESULTS
Epilepsy patients showed normal to small brain volumes and small temporal lobes bilaterally. A multivariate measure of the volume of each temporal lobe separated patients who were seizure free (Engel Class IA) from those with incomplete seizure control (Engel Class IB/IIB) with LDA (p < 0.01). Temporal lobe volumes also separate normal subjects, patients with Engel Class IA outcomes, and patients with Class IB/IIB outcomes (p < 0.01). Additionally, the authors demonstrated that age-normalized whole brain volume, in combination with temporal lobe volumes, may further improve outcome prediction (p < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS
This study shows strong evidence that temporal lobe and brain volume can be predictive of seizure outcome following temporal lobe resection, and that volumetric CT analysis of the temporal lobe may be feasible in lieu of structural MRI when the latter is unavailable. Furthermore, since the authors' methods are modality independent, these findings suggest that temporal lobe and normative brain volumes may further be useful in the selection of patients for temporal lobe resection when structural MRI is available.

Portes entrouvertes sur l'industrie du loisir créatif
Authors: Auger Claudine 
Published: November 2014

L’industrie du loisir créatif, portée par le « fait maison », profite d’une vision qui emprunte à des contextes tels que le mouvement écologique, le logiciel libre et les œuvres artistiques distribuées sans intermédiaire grâce à Internet. Cet article montre que cette industrie, qui connaît une croissance soutenue, est dominée au Québec par deux colosses, soit DeSerres, une institution centenaire, et un nouveau concurrent arrivé en force, le géant américain Michaels. Il reste tout de même de la place pour de nombreux petits commerces. Toutefois, pour bénéficier de ce marché, où une population vieillissante a du temps et un budget à consacrer à ses rêves d’artistes, ces concurrents doivent définir clairement leur champ d’action et savoir se réinventer.

Évaluer les actions de prévention et leurs impacts auprès du public est un véritable défi. Cette contribution retrace la création et le développement d’un instrument d’analyse destiné à saisir les représentations et pratiques du public en matière de santé individuelle : le baromètre santé. Sous l’impact de la problématique de la nutrition au début des années 2000, la question de l’activité physique est un item rapidement intégré au dispositif. L’article s’intéresse aux conceptions successives de cette thématique du « sport-santé » et aux différentes manières de mesurer et de percevoir l’activité physique au cours des vingt dernières années.
Le stade de Colombes et la question du grand stade en France (des origines à 1972)
Authors: Delépine Michaël 
Published: November 2014

Le stade de Colombes est sans doute l’une des constructions sportives françaises les plus éminentes du xx e siècle. L’installation qui remplace, en 1907, l’ancien champ de courses, est en effet devenue une enceinte de 60 000 places pour les Jeux olympiques de 1924. Théâtre des plus importantes épreuves internationales (Coupe du Monde de football 1938, championnats d’Europe d’athlétisme 1938), Colombes a surtout été le stade national français jusqu’en 1972 et la réalisation du nouveau Parc des Princes. Il accueille à ce titre les principales compétitions hexagonales. L’objectif du présent article est de présenter l’histoire de ce lieu à partir de sources diverses en évitant toute dérive monographique. Il s’agit donc d’appréhender le stade Yves-du-Manoir à travers le prisme du grand stade et de démontrer que Colombes, tout en étant la plus grande installation sportive de l’Hexagone, est également une tentative avortée d’un projet monumental qui a jalonné toute son existence. Après avoir dressé un état des lieux des stades français au début du xx e siècle, nous évoquerons les heures pré-olympiques du site avant de souligner les enjeux majeurs et les transformations réalisées pour les J.O. de Paris 1924. L’étude de l’exploitation et de la gestion du site constitue le second axe de cet article. Il s’agit ainsi de comprendre les divers héritages du stade olympique de Colombes à travers un inventaire précis de son utilisation. La rivalité avec d’autres enceintes, l’image négative des lieux, les réflexions nées autour de son éventuelle modernisation et l’ombre planante incarnée par le mythe d’un stade monumental compléteront cette présentation.
Au-delà de « l'échec » en centre de formation. La recomposition des aspirations professionnelles d'un ancien apprenti footballeur
Authors: Rasera Frédéric 
Published: November 2014

Plusieurs enquêtes sociologiques ont montré le caractère particulièrement sélectif du cursus de formation au métier de footballeur, très peu d’apprentis étant finalement retenus par leur club formateur pour signer un contrat de joueur professionnel. À partir d’une méthodologie combinant entretiens et observations répétés entre 2007 et 2013, cet article est centré sur la recomposition des aspirations professionnelles d’un jeune apprenti footballeur qui a été évincé de son club formateur à l’âge de 18 ans. À rebours du regard spontané qui saisit les jeunes exclus de l’élite du football professionnel à travers le prisme de « l’échec », il analyse les « ressources » et « handicaps » sociaux qui façonnent un parcours et rend compte des conditions sociales qui contribuent à entretenir des espoirs de professionnalisation sportive.

Nous traitons plus particulièrement de la pratique du football, envisagée comme un éventuel recours à une relégation scolaire et sociale, à partir de l’étude de cas d’un père, Samir, engagé corps et âme dans la réussite footballistique de son fils âgé de 14 ans. À l’aune de sa trajectoire sociale, nous analyserons ses efforts constants pour placer son fils dans un club d’excellence. Nous mettrons alors en évidence ses difficultés à se soumettre aux exigences de la sélection sportive qui entravent leur entreprise de réhabilitation sociale.
Trendalysing Social Work
Authors: Trygged Sven 
Published: November 2014

This report describes an exploration of Google Trends in an attempt to determine its usefulness for social work research. Web searches on Google Trends related to social work were undertaken for the period 2007-2013. Hits related to jobs and education dominated. Emerging trends related to social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin, but also came up for words such as evidence, technology and measure that might be interpreted in terms of theories or concepts, e,g., New Public Management and managerial social work. These findings were compared with numbers of reported studies in the databases Web of Science and PsycInfo. The paper includes some practical suggestions that might improve searches; but Google Trends is a tool still in the process of development and so far its usefulness for academic social work appears to be limited.
