Emerging clinical principles on the use of bevacizumab for the treatment of malignant gliomas
Authors: Chamberlain Marc C. 
Published: May 2010

AbstractDespite advances in adjuvant therapy, the prognosis for most patients with high‐grade glioma (HGG) is poor, and almost all HGGs have a likelihood of disease recurrence. HGGs are highly vascularized tumors with elevated expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an important mediator of angiogenesis. A compelling biologic rationale, a pressing need for improved therapeutics and positive results from studies of bevacizumab in other tumor types, led to the evaluation of bevacizumab in the treatment of HGG. It was demonstrated previously that bevacizumab, which is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets VEGF, improved outcomes when combined with chemotherapy (most commonly irinotecan) in patients with recurrent HGG; and, on the basis of an improved objective response rate in 2 prospective phase 2 studies, bevacizumab was granted accelerated approval by the US Food and Drug Administration as a single agent in patients with previously treated glioblastoma (GB). Bevacizumab‐containing therapy has been associated with manageable, class‐specific toxicity; however, severe treatment‐related adverse events are observed in a minority of patients. Preliminary data on bevacizumab‐based therapy in recurrent anaplastic gliomas, in the frontline treatment of GB, and in additional patient populations are also encouraging. With the goal of addressing unanswered questions regarding the optimal use of bevacizumab, the objective of the current review was to provide a summary of the clinical efficacy and safety data on bevacizumab in patients with HGG, the practical issues surrounding the administration of bevacizumab, and ongoing investigations of bevacizumab in additional brain tumor treatment settings.

Myosin‐actin interaction in Dictyostelium cells revealed by GFP‐based strain sensor and validated linear spectral unmixing
Authors: Iwai Sosuke , Uyeda Taro Q. P. 
Published: May 2010

AbstractMyosin is an actin‐based motor protein that is involved in a wide range of cellular motile processes. Although in vitro properties of the myosin‐actin interaction have been extensively studied, the interaction in vivo remains poorly understood. Recently, we developed a GFP‐based strain sensor termed PriSSM (PRIM‐based strain sensor module), by using the proximity imaging (PRIM) technique, which detects spectral changes of two GFP molecules that are in direct contact. Using PriSSM‐myosin II fusion proteins, the interaction between myosin II and F‐actin can be detected in Dictyostelium cells. In the spectroscopic measurements of PriSSM, to decompose the measured spectra of the cells expressing the sensor proteins into the contributions from the sensor and the background autofluorescence, we applied the linear spectral unmixing approach, which was based on the assumption that the errors at each wavelength were independent. Cellular autofluorescence, however, often includes systematic errors, so that the unmixing procedures might lead to biased estimates. Here, to validate our spectral unmixing procedures, we estimate the possible maximum errors in the fluorescence ratio values that are obtained by unmixing spectra including such systematic errors. This estimation provided a general criterion to validate the results obtained by linear unmixing of spectra including serially correlated error terms. Using the proposed criterion and PriSSM‐myosin II fusion proteins, we examined the interaction between myosin II and F‐actin in Dictyostelium cells under several different conditions. The spectroscopic results, together with the microscopic observations of the cells expressing the proteins, suggest that the formation of myosin filaments through the tail region has only a slight effect on binding to F‐actin but has significant effects on the cortical localization of myosin II. © 2010 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry
Viability states of bacteria—Specific mechanisms of selected probes
Authors: Sträuber Heike , Müller Susann 
Published: May 2010

AbstractSingle cell techniques like flow cytometry combined with viability staining can help to obtain information on viability states of bacteria. Many fluorescent dyes are available for this purpose and can be chosen according to the available excitation source, the species used, and the background of scientific questions and relevant specifications. Within this short overview, we focus on two diverse groups of bacteria: the gram−Escherichia coliand representatives of the gram+Mycobacteriumto demonstrate differences and similarities in dye uptake principles, processing and binding. We call for attention to possible diverse responses of different species to various viability assays. The cell surface structure of bacteria and the chemical properties of fluorescent probes considerably determine the success of a certain staining practice. Particular focus was drawn on analysis of membrane integrity, uptake of substrates and transformation of fluorogenic substrates. © 2010 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry
Determination of the enantiomers of α‐hydroxy‐ and α‐amino acids in capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection
Authors: Pormsila Worapan , Gong Xiao Yang , Hauser Peter C. 
Published: May 2010

AbstractThe enantiomers of the anions of five α‐hydroxy acids, namely lactic acid, α‐hydroxybutyric acid, 2‐hydroxycaproic acid, 2‐hydroxyoctanoic acid and 2‐hydroxydecanoic acid, as well as the two α‐amino acids aspartic acid and glutamic acid, were baseline separated and detected by CE with contactless conductivity detection. Vancomycin was employed as chiral selector and could be used with conductivity detection without having to resort to a partial filling protocol as needed when this reagent is used with UV absorbance measurements. The procedure was successfully applied to the determination of the lactic acid enantiomers in samples of milk and yogurt. Linearity was achieved in the concentration range of 10–500 μmol/L with good correlation coefficients (0.9993 and 0.9990 for L‐ and D‐lactic acid, respectively). The LODs (3 S/N) for L‐ and D‐lactic acid were determined as 2.8 and 2.4 μmol/L, respectively.
Reliability evaluation for distribution systems with distribution generation
Authors: Liu Bo , Zhang Yan , Liu Chuanquan , He Weiguo , Bao Hailong 
Published: May 2010

AbstractThe increasing distributed generation (DG) penetration on distribution systems requires the development of reliability model including DGs for evaluating the impact of DGs on distribution systems. This paper presents a new reliability evaluation model considering the DGs, which can handle the influence of DGs on the distribution system, and an optimization model of distribution network islanding program is built, in which the maximum equivalent load is taken as the objective function. The depth‐first search and breadth‐first search technology are used to solve the problem. Besides, the minimal path method of the traditional assessment analysis is well modified to suit for the calculation of the distribution system with DGs. An IEEE‐RBTS system is analyzed to exhibit the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Investigating the Dynamics of a Direct Parallel Combination of Supercapacitors and Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Authors: Papra M. , Büchi F. N. , Kötz R. 
Published: May 2010

AbstractHydrogen fuelled vehicles with a fuel cell based powertrain are considered to contribute to sustainable mobility by reducing CO2 emissions from road transport. In such vehicles the fuel cell system is typically hybridised with an energy storage device such as a battery or a supercapacitor (SC) to allow for recovering braking energy and assist the fuel cell system for peak power. The direct parallel combination of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) and a SC without any control electronics is investigated in the present study. It is demonstrated that the combination enhances the dynamics of the PEFC significantly during load changes. However, due to the lack of a power electronic interface the SC cannot be utilised to its optimum capacity.
The strength of HR practices in India and their effects on employee career success, performance, and potential
Authors: Stumpf Stephen A. , Doh Jonathan P. , Tymon, Walter G. 
Published: May 2010

AbstractThis study explores the role of HR practices for individual and organizational success via a survey of 4,811 employees from 32 units of 28 companies operating in India. We report on employee perceptions of the effectiveness of three specific human resource practices within their firms and the relationship of these practices to career success, performance, and potential. Companies operating in India appear to be creating strong human resource climates based on structured HR practices in performance management, professional development, and normalized performance ratings. The perceived effectiveness of these HR practices influences employees' perceptions of career success and, to a lesser extent, organizationally rated performance and potential. We report differences in perceptions of HR practices among national, international, and global companies and among the industries of information technology (IT), manufacturing, and services. The relationship to perceived HR practices and outcomes was partially contingent on firm geographic scope and industry sector. Implications for research and practice are discussed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Effect of an acute d‐amphetamine administration on context information memory in healthy volunteers: evidence from a source memory task
Authors: Zeeuws Inge , Deroost Natacha , Soetens Eric 
Published: May 2010

AbstractRationalePrevious research demonstrated a positive effect of d‐amphetamine on long‐term verbal memory. An improvement in memory for contextual information is proposed as a possible mechanism underlying the d‐amphetamine facilitation effect.ObjectivesA double blind, placebo controlled experiment was used to examine the processes involved in episodic memory affected by an acute administration of d‐amphetamine. We investigated whether positive effects of d‐amphetamine on item memory could be extended to context information by using a source memory paradigm.MethodsIn a within‐subjects design with two sessions, two study lists were presented in each session and participants were required to make an old/new recognition decision (item memory) and a list discrimination judgement (source memory) after delays of 1 h, 1 day and 1 week.ResultsEnhancement of item memory after d‐amphetamine intake was observed on delayed tests only, confirming that amphetamine does not affect short‐term memory or memory acquisition, but rather a process operating after initial encoding. Importantly, we found an enhancement in remembering the source of recognized items after d‐amphetamine administration.ConclusionThe present study suggests that an acute administration of d‐amphetamine helps to bind different features of an item in memory, in turn leading to an increased ability to recollect both the item and its context.

Role of bedrock groundwater in the rainfall–runoff process in a small headwater catchment underlain by volcanic rock
Authors: Iwagami Sho , Tsujimura Maki , Onda Yuichi , Shimada Jun , Tanaka Tadashi 
Published: May 2010

AbstractThe role of bedrock groundwater in rainfall–runoff processes is poorly understood. Hydrometric, tracer and subsurface water potential observations were conducted to study the role of bedrock groundwater and subsurface flow in the rainfall–runoff process in a small headwater catchment in Shiranui, Kumamoto prefecture, south‐west Japan. The catchment bedrock consists of a strongly weathered, fractured andesite layer and a relatively fresh continuous layer. Major chemical constituents and stable isotopic ratios of δ18O and δD were analysed for spring water, rainwater, soil water and bedrock groundwater. Temporal and spatial variation in SiO2 showed that stream flow under the base flow condition was maintained by bedrock groundwater. Time series of three components of the rainstorm hydrograph (rainwater, soil water and bedrock groundwater) separated by end member mixing analysis showed that each component fluctuated during rainstorm, and their patterns and magnitudes differed between events. During a typical mid‐magnitude storm event, a delayed secondary runoff peak with 1·0 l s−1 was caused by increase in the bedrock groundwater component, whereas during a large rainstorm event the bedrock groundwater component increased to ≈ 2·5 l s−1. This research shows that the contribution of bedrock groundwater and soil water depends strongly on the location of the groundwater table, i.e. whether or not it rises above the soil–bedrock interface.

An improved AMC‐coupled runoff curve number model
Authors: Sahu Ram Kumar , Mishra S. K. , Eldho T. I. 
Published: May 2010

AbstractIn the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS‐CN) method, the three levels of antecedent moisture condition (AMC) permit unreasonable sudden jumps in curve numbers, which result into corresponding jumps in the estimated runoff. A few recently developed SCS‐CN‐based models obviate this problem, yet they have several limitations. In this study, such a model incorporating a continuous function for antecedent moisture has been presented. It has several advantages over the other existing SCS‐CN‐based models. Its application to a large dataset from US watersheds showed to perform better than the existing SCS‐CN method and the others based on it. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Hydrograph characteristics of quick and slow runoffs of a watershed outlet, Taiwan
Authors: Cheng Shin‐Jen 
Published: May 2010

AbstractThis study explores the hydrograph characteristics of quick and slow runoffs in watershed outlet hydrographs. The quick and slow runoffs were modelled using a conceptual model of three linear cascade reservoirs that have exponential decay response expressions. Mean rainfall for model inputs was estimated using the block Kriging method. The 107 storms during the 1966–2008 events were classified as large, medium and small events according to the observed streamflow. The optimal hydrograph parameters for 61 rainfall‐runoff events were calibrated using the shuffled complex evolution optimal algorithm. The efficacy of the model was verified using the seven averaged parameters of three types of 46 events and was compared with three evaluation criteria resulting from the Nash model. The 61 calibrations were used to analyse and compare the characteristics of quick and slow flows in early and later periods (1966–2002 and 2003–2008). Finally, the following five conclusions were obtained: (1) The base time of a slow runoff hydrograph is the same as that of a total runoff hydrograph. (2) A quick runoff with a long period occurs when soil antecedent moisture is low and with a short period under a high value. (3) The time to peak of hydrograph components is directly proportional to peak time of a hyetograph; the time to peak of quick and slow flows is about 0·97 and 1·12 times the peak time of a hyetograph, respectively. (4) The peak of hydrograph components is relative to a total runoff hydrograph; the percentages for quick runoff are approximately 71% and 13% for slow flow. Finally, (5) the volume of a quick runoff component is 49% of a total runoff volume and 37% for a slow runoff volume. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Simulating current global river runoff with a global hydrological model: model revisions, validation, and sensitivity analysis
Authors: Gosling Simon N. , Arnell Nigel W. 
Published: May 2010

AbstractGlobal hydrological models (GHMs) model the land surface hydrologic dynamics of continental‐scale river basins. Here we describe one such GHM, the Macro‐scale—Probability‐Distributed Moisture model.09 (Mac‐PDM.09). The model has undergone a number of revisions since it was last applied in the hydrological literature. This paper serves to provide a detailed description of the latest version of the model. The main revisions include the following: (1) the ability for the model to be run for n repetitions, which provides more robust estimates of extreme hydrological behaviour, (2) the ability of the model to use a gridded field of coefficient of variation (CV) of daily rainfall for the stochastic disaggregation of monthly precipitation to daily precipitation, and (3) the model can now be forced with daily input climate data as well as monthly input climate data. We demonstrate the effects that each of these three revisions has on simulated runoff relative to before the revisions were applied. Importantly, we show that when Mac‐PDM.09 is forced with monthly input data, it results in a negative runoff bias relative to when daily forcings are applied, for regions of the globe where the day‐to‐day variability in relative humidity is high. The runoff bias can be up to − 80% for a small selection of catchments but the absolute magnitude of the bias may be small. As such, we recommend future applications of Mac‐PDM.09 that use monthly climate forcings acknowledge the bias as a limitation of the model. The performance of Mac‐PDM.09 is evaluated by validating simulated runoff against observed runoff for 50 catchments. We also present a sensitivity analysis that demonstrates that simulated runoff is considerably more sensitive to method of PE calculation than to perturbations in soil moisture and field capacity parameters.

Challenges for a mature insolvency system in a transitional economy: Lessons from Croatia
Authors: Sajter Domagoj 
Published: May 2010

AbstractBeing a post‐communist, central‐eastern economy, Croatia and its insolvency system resembles many transitional countries in the region. In order to achieve a better perspective of the current situation, problems, and their possible solutions, a broad research of the Croatian insolvency system was carried out. Questionnaires were sent out to bankruptcy practitioners, interviews with some of the most experienced experts in the field were performed, and extensive databases have been obtained.The findings show a high level of tolerance of government institutions towards insolvency, making insolvency procedure in practice non‐compulsory even though the Corporations law (Article 626) proclaims non‐filing as punishable, with the penalties rising up to 2 years of imprisonment. As the data present, filing for bankruptcy does not necessarily have to be expected even in the case of long‐term (over 1 year) insolvency. This tolerance was present long before the recession and the global crisis of the late 2000s began. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
