A Matlab GUI for calculating the solar radiation and shading of surfaces on the earth
Authors: Keller Bastian , Costa Alexandre M. S. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractPredicting the amount of solar radiation that strikes a surface is of the highest importance in several engineering applications. Just to name a few, solar radiation estimates is fundamental during the design of technologies such as: flat plates and concentrating collectors, solar energy storage devices, solar heaters, and photovoltaic systems. Furthermore, solar radiation estimates are important in energy studies for buildings, as during the cooling load calculation for air conditioning systems. The calculation of the solar radiation and shading involves many equations and a lot of influencing factors must be considered. Therefore, a Matlab GUI was developed that execute the equations and considers all the influencing factors. The program calculates the solar radiation and shadows caused by a rectangle as well as shadows on a rectangle surface caused by fins beside it. The user only has to set few values (like the location, time, etc.) and he can choose between the calculations either for a selectable time of the day or for a completely day. Then the results are plotted either in simple editor frames or in 2D‐ and 3D‐graphics. The program also shows the results of some influencing angles subject to the location of the sun in the sky that can be helpful for many applications. Finally, on the educational side, the Matlab program can be useful for the engineering student performing some what if studies involving solar radiation. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Developing an attitude towards bullying scale for prisoners: structural analyses across adult men, young adults and women prisoners
Authors: Ireland Jane L. , Power Christina L. , Bramhall Sarah , Flowers Catherine 
Published: July 2010

AbstractBackground Few studies have attempted to explore attitudes towards bullying among prisoners, despite acknowledgement that attitudes may play an important role.Aim To evaluate the structure of a new attitudinal scale, the Prison Bullying Scale (PBS), with adult men and women in prison and with young male prisoners.Hypotheses That attitudes would be represented as a multidimensional construct and that the PBS structure would be replicated across confirmatory samples.Method The PBS was developed and confirmed across four independent studies using item parceling and confirmatory factor analysis: Study I comprised 412 adult male prisoners; Study II, 306 adult male prisoners; Study III, 171 male young offenders; and Study IV, 148 adult women prisoners.Results Attitudes were represented as a multidimensional construct comprising seven core factors. The exploratory analysis was confirmed in adult male samples, with some confirmation among young offenders and adult women. The fit for young offenders was adequate and improved by factor covariance. The fit for women was the poorest overall.Conclusion The study notes the importance of developing ecologically valid measures and statistically testing these measures prior to their clinical or research use.Implications The development of the PBS holds value both as an assessment and as a research measure and remains the only ecologically validated measure in existence to assess prisoner attitudes towards bullying.

Published: July 2010

AbstractBackground: Small randomized trials have shown short‐term improved outcome with drug‐eluting stents (DES) over bare metal stent (BMS) in saphenous vein graft (SVG) interventions by reducing in‐stent restenosis and target vessel revascularization (TVR). It is not clear, however, if these benefits are maintained long term. The aim of this study is to compare the outcome in a larger cohort of patients undergoing SVG stent implantation with DES or BMS, at 2 years. Methods: From among 250 patients who underwent SVG stenting, 225 patients with available follow‐up were selected from data bases at the three participating institutions. One‐hundred‐six patients had DES (sirolimus, paclitaxel or tacrolimus eluting stent) and 119 patients had any available BMS from April 2002 to December 2006. The primary endpoint was MACE rate, a combination of cardiac death, S‐T elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and target lesion revascularization. Secondary end points were the individual components of the primary endpoint. Follow‐up was obtained by mailed interviews or telephone calls and review of the hospital chart. Results: The DES and BMS groups had similar age (71 ± 8 years vs. 70 ± 7 years, P = 1.0), diabetes (45% vs. 36%, P = 0.3), history of MI (58% vs. 51%, P = 0.6), EF (44% vs. 47%, P = 0.2) and previous PCI (40% vs. 35%, P = 0.4). Reference vessel diameter (3.15 ± 0.5 mm vs. 3.5 ± 0.5 mm. P = 0.001) and stent size (3.3 ± 0.4 mm vs. 3.9 ± 0.5 mm, P = 0.001) were smaller in the DES group; however, the BMS were longer (24 ± 10 mm vs. 21 ± 6 mm, P = 0.05). At one year there was a trend (P = 0.1) for lower MACE rate in the DES group, but at two years there was no difference in MACE free survival between the DES and BMS groups (81 % vs. 82%, P = 0.9). The death rate was similar (6% each) with three patients having STEMI (two in the DES and one in the BMS). TVR was also similar (14% in each group). Conclusion: In patients undergoing treatment of SVG disease with a stent, the marginal benefit of DES seen at 1 year was lost at 2‐year follow‐up. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Current status of vulnerable plaque detection
Authors: Sharif Faisal , Murphy Ross T. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractCritical coronary stenoses have been shown to contribute to only a minority of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and sudden cardiac death. Autopsy studies have identified a subgroup of high‐risk patients with disrupted vulnerable plaque and modest stenosis. Consequently, a clinical need exists to develop methods to identify these plaques prospectively before disruption and clinical expression of disease. Recent advances in invasive and noninvasive imaging techniques have shown the potential to identify these high‐risk plaques. The anatomical characteristics of the vulnerable plaque such as thin cap fibroatheroma and lipid pool can be identified with angioscopy, high frequency intravascular ultrasound, intravascular MRI, and optical coherence tomography. Efforts have also been made to recognize active inflammation in high‐risk plaques using intravascular thermography. Plaque chemical composition by measuring electromagnetic radiation using spectroscopy is also an emerging technology to detect vulnerable plaques. Noninvasive imaging with MRI, CT, and PET also holds the potential to differentiate between low and high‐risk plaques. However, at present none of these imaging modalities are able to detect vulnerable plaque neither has been shown to definitively predict outcome. Nevertheless in contrast, there has been a parallel development in the physiological assessment of advanced atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Thus recent trials using fractional flow reserve in patients with modest non flow‐limiting stenoses have shown that deferral of PCI with optimal medical therapy in these patients is superior to coronary intervention. Further trials are needed to provide more information regarding the natural history of high‐risk but non flow‐limiting plaque to establish patient‐specific targeted therapy and to refine plaque stabilizing strategies in the future. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Antibond Breaking—The Formation and Decomposition of He@Adamantane: Descriptions, Explanations, and Meaning of Concepts
Authors: Wang Shu‐Guang , Qiu Yi‐Xiang , Schwarz W. H. Eugen 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe reaction path from the inclusion complex He@adamantane to its two separated fragments over the transition barrier is investigated by using quantum chemistry. The changes of structure and wavefunction are intuitively anticipated, accurately computed, and qualitatively rationalized. With the help of the traditional concepts of chemical bonding and nonbonding interactions, and with numerical results from a chemically oriented energy‐partitioning approach, we can rationalize the details of the chemical process, and qualitatively predict and interpret the two chosen alternative descriptions: the energy‐partitioning approach and the topological electron‐density analysis. The meaning of bonding within these two approaches, and unsolved aspects of the latter tool are clarified.
The Conformational Landscape of Nicotinoids: Solving the Conformational Disparity of Anabasine

Published: July 2010

AbstractThe conformational landscape of the alkaloid anabasine (neonicotine) has been investigated by using rotational spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. The results allow a detailed comparison of the structural properties of the prototype piperidinic and pyrrolidinic nicotinoids (anabasine vs. nicotine). Anabasine adopts two most stable conformations in isolation conditions, for which we determined accurate rotational and nuclear quadrupole coupling parameters. The preferred conformations are characterized by an equatorial pyridine moiety and additional N–H equatorial stereochemistry at the piperidine ring (eq‐eq; eq=equatorial). The two rings of anabasine are close to a bisecting arrangement, with the observed conformations differing by an approximately 180° rotation of the pyridine subunit, denoted either syn or anti. The preference of anabasine for the eq‐eq‐syn conformation has been established by relative intensity measurements (syn/anti∼5(2)). The conformational preferences of free anabasine are directed by a weak N⋅⋅⋅HC hydrogen bond interaction between the nitrogen lone pair at piperidine and the closest CH bond in pyridine, with N⋅⋅⋅H distances ranging from 2.686 (syn) to 2.667 Å (anti). Supporting ab initio calculations by using MP2 and the recent M05‐2X density functional are provided, evaluating the predictive performance of both methods.
