Coronary arterial bypass surgery with beating heart in a patient with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: Usage of thrombin inhibitor (Lepirudin; r-hirudin)
Authors: Erkut Bilgehan , Becit Necip , Diler Serpil , Ceviz Munacettin 
Published: January 2010

Abstract
One of the most important adverse drug reactions that physicians encounter is the life-threatening prothrombotic syndrome known as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). In patients with a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and coronary arterial disease, alternative anticoagulatory regimens are needed during cardiac surgery for prevention of thrombosis. Treatment options for such patients now generally include the use of alternative anticoagulants such as lepirudin, bivalirudin, argatroban or danaparoid. In this article, we present a case where heparin-induced thrombocytopenia was properly performed coronary arterial bypass grafting by using lepirudin. (This sentence is confusing)

Published: January 2010

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of Ankaferd Blood Stopper® against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Enterococcus species, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas species, Acinetobacter species and Klebsiella species of nosocomial origin. Ankaferd inhibited growth in 72.4% to 100% of the bacteria tested, depending on the type of the isolate. As a result, it can be stated that Ankaferd inhibits the in vitro growth of nosocomial bacteria. This is a novel, important finding since severe hospital infections coexist with many hemostatic disorders, and the use of Ankaferd may increase hemostatic potential in such clinical conditions.

Pseudocomplementation on the Lattice of Convex Sublattices of a Lattice
Authors: Rahman R. M. H. 
Published: January 2010

By a new partial ordering relation "≤" the set of convex sublattices CS(L) of a lattice L is again a lattice. In this paper we establish some results on the pseudocomplementation of (CS(L); ≤). We show that a lattice L with 0 is dense if and only if CS(L) is dense. Then we prove that a finite distributive lattice is a Stone lattice if and only if CS(L) is Stone. We also prove that an upper continuous lattice L is a Stone lattice if and only if CS(L) is Stone.

Authors: Noor B. , Rahman J. A. M. S. , Hossain K. 
Published: January 2010

This study presumes the existence of causal framework interlinking different predictor variables with the response variables. That is why it determines the risk and concerned factors, which affect blood sugar level of the diabetic patients either directly or indirectly or through making implied effect by the optional factors. Data have been collected from two diabetic diagnostic centers in Rajshahi City. The result implies that blood glucose level of both tablet and insulin users have positive and significant relation to systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and calorie intake. For both tablet and insulin users, body mass index (BMI) affects blood sugar most prominently through walking distance covered by the patients. The index, for instance, is found to be 69.74% and 58.82% for the tablet and insulin users, respectively. Thus controlling BMI through taking regulatory calorie intake, controlling blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic pressure) a patient could find himself or herself in the safe zone.

Source Characteristics of 20 MeV Tabletop Synchrotron Radiation Source
Authors: Haque M. M. , Moon A. , Miura N. 
Published: January 2010

The low energy storage ring MIRRORCLE-20, operating at electron energy Eel = 20 MeV can produce a powerful infrared (IR) synchrotron radiation with wavelengths over mid-IR and far-IR regions. To clarify the applicability of this light source, its far-IR output as well as spectrum was measured. The IR emission is forced by a circular optics, named photon storage ring (PhSR), placed around the electron orbit, and is collected by a magic mirror associated with two plane mirrors in the storage ring. It is proven that the FIR intensity is boosted by the PhSR. The SR spectrum of MIRRORCLE-20 in the far-IR region is much broader and more intense than that of a typical black body light source, and therefore can be used for far infrared spectroscopy (FIRS).

Published: January 2010

The present study was aimed at investigating the antioxidant activities of the hydromethanolic extract of Phoenix dactylifera (HEPD) fruit (Arecaceae). The antioxidant activities of extract have been evaluated by using a range of in vitro assays and in vivo hepatoprotective model. In case of in vitro studies the IC50 values were found to be 160, 1400, 1115, 1050 μg/ml in DPPH, nitric oxide, superoxide, hydroxyl radical scavenging assays, respectively. In case of in vivo studies the levels of liver enzymatic, non-enzymatic systems [serum glutamate oxalo-acetate transaminases (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminases (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin, total protein, catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD)] and lipid peroxidation (LPO) were restored towards the normal value in HEPD treated carbon tetrachloride intoxicated rats. The free radical scavenging and antioxidant activities may be attributed to the presence of phenolic (pyrocatechol and gallic acid contents are 6.2 and 2.906 μg/mg, respectively), vitamin C (ascorbic acid content is 0.66 μg/mg) and flavonoid compounds (4.79 μg/mg) present in HEPD. The results obtained in the present study indicate that the Phoenix dactylifera fruit is a potential source of natural antioxidant.

Prediction of Corrosion Inhibitor Efficiency of Some Aromatic Hydrazides and Schiff Bases Compounds by Using Artificial Neural Network
Authors: Al-Hazam Hanan A. 
Published: January 2010

Artificial neural networks are used for evaluating the corrosion inhibitor efficiency of some aromatic hydrazides and Schiff bases compounds. The nodes of neural network input layer represent the quantum parameters, total negative charge (TNC) on molecule, energy of highest occupied molecular orbital (E Homo), energy of lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (E Lomo), dipole moment (μ), total energy (TE), molecular volume (V), dipolar-polarizability factor (Π) and inhibitor concentration (C). The neural network output is the corrosion inhibitor efficiency (E) for the mentioned compounds. The training and testing of the developed network are based on a database of 31 published experimental tests obtained by weight loss. The neural network predictions for corrosion inhibitor efficiency are more reliable than prediction using other conventional theoretical methods such as AM1, PM3, Mindo, and Mindo-3.

Published: January 2010

In this paper, we have developed an instantaneous replenishment policy for deteriorating items with price-dependent demand. The demand and deterioration rates are continuous and differentiable function of price and time respectively. A variable proportion of the items will deteriorate per time, where shortages are permissible and completely backordered. We have developed a policy with price-dependent demand under profit maximization. The net profit per unit time is a concave function. Further, it is illustrated with the help of a numerical example.

Published: January 2010

The antidiabetic effects of Ethyl acetate (Et-Ac), Petroleum-ether (Pet-ether), and Chloroform fractions from ethanolic extract of the leaves of Ocimum sanctum were investigated in normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats (AIDRs). The effect of these fractions (200 mg/kg body weight i.p) on fasting blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminases, serum glutamate pyruvate transaminases (SGOT, SGPT) level, and liver glycogen content were investigated in AIDRs and found significant effects. The most significant reduction of FBG level of around 80.19% was observed for Et-Ac fraction in AIDRs. A significant reduction (p< 0.01) in serum TC and TG level of 54.49% and 79.78% respectively was also found for Et-Ac fraction of O. sanctum. The hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities were comparable to metformin HCl (150 mg/kg). In severely diabetic rats, liver glycogen content was decreased by 50.60%. Administration of these fractions to the AIDRs resulted in the significant elevation of liver glycogen content. In diabetic rats, SGOT and SGPT levels were significantly elevated that were further reduced after intraperitoneal administration of these fractions. These results indicate that different fractions of O. sanctum have favorable effects in bringing down the severity of diabetes together with hepatoprotectivity.

AbstractThe effects of mold preheating temperature on the glass‐forming ability of Zr64.9Al7.9Ni10.7Cu16.5 and Zr47Cu37.5Ag7.5Al8 alloys are investigated using traditional copper mold casting. It is found that there exists an optimum mold temperature for glass‐forming alloy systems. For the two Zr‐based alloy systems studied the optimum mold temperature is 353 K. This is explained from the perspectives of heat transfer efficiency and the wettability between liquid alloy and copper mold.

Published: January 2010

AbstractPorous materials have received extensive attention for energy absorption in the last years. In terms of this study austenitic TRIP‐steel/Mg‐PSZ composite–open cell foam structures are formed based on replicas using open‐celled polyurethane foam as a skeleton with and without a supporting dense face (jacket) coating. Their compression strength as well as their specific energy absorption SEA has been registered as a function of the compressive strain. The zirconia addition has reinforced the composite material with the face coating up to a compressive strain of 50%. The stress‐induced martensitic transformation of partially stabilized zirconia phases has been investigated as a function of the compressive strain by EBSD. The zirconia phase transformation is triggered already at low compressive strains below 2%.
Functionalized Self‐Assembled InAs/GaAs Quantum‐Dot Structures Hybridized with Organic Molecules

Published: January 2010

AbstractLow‐dimensional III–V semiconductors have many advantages over other semiconductors; however, they are not particularly stable under physiological conditions. Hybridizing biocompatible organic molecules with advanced optical and electronic semiconductor devices based on quantum dots (QDs) and quantum wires could provide an efficient solution to realize stress‐free and nontoxic interfaces to attach larger functional biomolecules. Monitoring the modifications of the optical properties of the hybrid molecule–QD systems by grafting various types of air‐stable diazonium salts onto the QD structures surfaces provides a direct approach to prove the above concepts. The InAs/GaAs QD structures used in this work consist of a layer of surface InAs QDs and a layer of buried InAs QDs embedded in a wider‐bandgap GaAs matrix. An enhancement in photoluminescence intensity by a factor of 3.3 from the buried QDs is achieved owing to the efficient elimination of the dangling bonds on the surface of the structures and to the decrease in non‐radiative recombination caused by their surface states. Furthermore, a narrow photoluminescence band peaking at 1620 nm with a linewidth of 49 meV corresponding to the eigenstates interband transition of the surface InAs QDs is for the first time clearly observed at room temperature, which is something that has rarely been achieved without the use of such engineered surfaces. The experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid molecule–QD systems possess a high stability, and both the surface and buried QDs are very sensitive to changes in their surficial conditions, indicating that they are excellent candidates as basic sensing elements for novel biosensor applications.

AbstractThe dioxovanadium(V) complexes [VO2(3,5‐Me2Hpz)3][BF4] (1) (pz=pyrazolyl), [VO2{SO3C(pz)3}] (2), [VO2{HB(3,5‐Me2pz)3}] (3) and [VO2{HC(pz)3}][BF4] (4), bearing pyrazole or scorpionate ligands, were obtained by reaction of triethyl vanadate [VO(OEt)3] with hydrotris(3,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrazolyl)methane [HC(3,5‐Me2pz)3] or 3,5‐dimethylpyrazole (3,5‐Me2Hpz; 1), lithium tris(1‐pyrazolyl)methanesulfonate {Li[SO3C(pz)3], 2}, potassium hydrotris(3,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrazolyl)borate {K[HB(3,5‐Me2pz)3], 3} and hydrotris(1‐pyrazolyl)methane [HC(pz)3, 4], respectively. Treatment of [VO(OEt)3] with potassium hydrotris(1‐pyrazolyl)borate {K[HB(pz)3]} led to the mixed η3‐tris(pyrazolyl)borate and η2‐bis(pyrazolyl)borate oxovanadium(IV) complex [VO{HB(pz)3}{H2B(pz)2}, 5]. The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, NMR and EPR spectroscopy, FAB and ESI mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry and, for 5, also by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. All complexes exhibit catalytic activity in the single‐pot carboxylation [in trifluoroacetic acid/potassium peroxodisulfate (CF3COOH/K2S2O8)] of gaseous alkanes (methane and ethane) to carboxylic acids (yields up to 40%, TONs up to 157) and in the peroxidative oxidation [in water/acetonitrile (H2O/NCMe)] of liquid alkanes (cyclohexane and cyclopentane) to the corresponding alcohols and ketones (yields up to 24%, TONs up to 117), under mild conditions.

Impacts of alternative marketing agreement cattle procurement on packer costs, gross margins, and profits: evidence from plant‐level profit and loss data
Authors: Koontz Stephen R. , Lawrence John D. 
Published: January 2010

AbstractThis work measures the impact of captive supplies, or cattle procured through alternative marketing agreements (AMAs), on meatpacker costs, gross margins, and profits. Confidential profit and loss data were examined from all the individual packing plants within the four largest packing firms for a 30‐month period. Alternative marketing agreement use resulted in improved beef supply chain efficiency, product demand, and plant profitability. The slaughter and processing costs were lower for plants with higher volumes of AMA cattle relative to cash market cattle. Plants that slaughter cattle from AMA sources operated at higher volumes, had less variable volumes, and had lower average total costs per head because of the substantive economies of size. Plants that slaughter cattle from AMA sources also had higher gross margins and average profits per head. The general conclusion is clear: If policies are implemented that limit AMA use then packing industry efficiency would be negatively impacted. [EconLit Citation: Q130]. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
A novel search framework for multi‐stage process scheduling with tight due dates
Authors: He Yaohua , Hui Chi‐Wai 
Published: December 2009

AbstractThis article improves the original genetic algorithm developed by He and Hui (Chem Eng Sci. 2007; 62:1504–1527) and proposes a novel global search framework (GSF) for the large‐size multi‐stage process scheduling problems. This work first constructs a comprehensive set of position selection rules according to the impact factors analysis presented by He and Hui (in this publication in 2007), and then selects suitable rules for schedule synthesis. In coping with infeasibility emerging during the search, a penalty function is adopted to force the algorithm to approach the feasible solutions. The large‐size problems with tight due dates are challenging to the current solution techniques. Inspired by the gradient used in numerical analysis, we treat the deviation existing among the computational tests of the algorithm as evolutionary gradient. Based on this concept, a GSF is laid out to fully utilize the search ability of the current algorithm. Numerical experiments indicate that the proposed search framework solves such problems with satisfactory solutions. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010
