description: Results of the collaborative study of TU-Darmstadt and PTB in the HIT project were presented at the final workshop at INRIM, Torino, Italy. PTB has set up a system for the validation of dTDLAS-hygrom-eters which were developed by TU-Darmstadt within the frame-work of HIT. The calibration facility is designed to calibrate hu-midity in air measurement devices at temperatures up to 100 °C. The system was designed to perform validations and/or calibrations of a device under test like the dTDLAS-hygrometer from TU DA. Traceability was achieved by comparison to a pri-mary humidity standard via a reference chilled mirror hygrome-ter. The developed dTDLAS hygrometer was shown to yield relative deviations of less than 5 % as compared to the reference value. This is nicely confirming its capability to be used as a transfer standard. Based on PTB’s validation result and on further vali-dation performed at INRIM for temperatures above 100°C the dTDLAS hygrometer could subsequently be applied success-fully at an industrial site within the project thus demonstrating the valuable capabilities of such dTDLAS systems for industrial applications. The measurement approach of dTDLAS-hygrometers comply-ing with the TILSAM method 1 like the one from TU-Darmstadt in HIT is promoted by PTB 3.42.

description: Background: The clinical feasibility of using pseudo-computed tomography (pCT) images derived from magnetic resonance (MR) images for external bean radiation therapy (EBRT) planning for prostate cancer patients has been well demonstrated. This paper investigates the feasibility of applying an MR-derived, pCT planning approach to additional types of cancer in the pelvis. Material and methods: Fifteen patients (five prostate cancer patients, five rectal cancer patients, and five gynecological cancer patients) receiving EBRT at Turku University Hospital (Turku, Finland) were included in the study. Images from an MRCAT (Magnetic Resonance for Calculating ATtenuation, Philips, Vantaa, Finland) pCT method were generated as a part of a clinical MR-simulation procedure. Dose calculation accuracy was assessed by comparing the pCT-based calculation with a CT-based calculation. In addition, the degree of geometric accuracy was studied. Results: The median relative difference of PTV mean dose between CT and pCT images was within 0.8% for all tumor types. When assessing the tumor site-specific accuracy, the median [range] relative dose differences to the PTV mean were 0.7 [−0.11;1.05]% for the prostate cases, 0.3 [−0.25;0.57]% for the rectal cases, and 0.09 [−0.69;0.25]% for the gynecological cancer cases. System-induced geometric distortion was measured to be less than 1 mm for all PTV volumes and the effect on the PTV median dose was less than 0.1%. Conclusions: According to the comparison, using pCT for clinical EBRT planning and dose calculation in the three investigated types of pelvic cancers is feasible. Further studies are required to demonstrate the applicability to a larger cohort of patients.

description: Objective: To evaluate existing evidence regarding surgical treatments for gallbladder cancer in a Health Technology Assessment. A specific aim was to evaluate whether extended surgery regarding liver, lymph nodes, bile duct, and adjacent organs compared with cholecystectomy alone in the adult patient with gallbladder cancer in early and late stages implies improved survival. Methods: In April 2015 and updated in June 2016, a systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Two authors independently screened titles, abstracts, and full-text articles. The certainty of evidence was evaluated according to GRADE. Main results: Forty-four observational studies (non-randomised, controlled studies) and seven case series were included. Radical resection, including liver and lymph node resection, compared with cholecystectomy alone showed significantly better survival for patients with stages T1b and above. All studies had serious study limitations and the certainty of evidence was very low (GRADE ⊕○○○). A survival benefit seen in patients with stage T1b or higher with lymph node resection, was most evident in stage T2, but the certainty of evidence was low (GRADE ⊕⊕○○). It is uncertain whether routine bile duct resections improve overall survival in patients with gallbladder cancer stage T2–T4 (GRADE ⊕○○○). Conclusion: Data indicate that prognosis can be improved if liver resection and lymph node resection is performed in patients with tumour stage T1b or higher. There is no evidence supporting resection of the bile duct or adjacent organs if it is not necessary in order to achieve radicality.

description: Hypertension in male and aging female rodents is associated with glutamate-dependent plasticity in the hypothalamus, but existing models have failed to capture distinct transitional menopausal phases that could have a significant impact on the synaptic plasticity and emergent hypertension. In rodents, accelerated ovarian failure (AOF) induced by systemic injection of 4-vinylcyclohexane diepoxide mimics the estrogen fluctuations seen in human menopause including the perimenopause transition (peri-AOF) and postmenopause (post-AOF). Thus, we used the mouse AOF model to determine the impact of slow-pressor angiotensin II (AngII) administration on blood pressure and on the subcellular distribution of obligatory N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor GluN1 subunits in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN), a key estrogen-responsive cardiovascular regulatory area. Estrogen-sensitive neuronal profiles were identified in mice expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein under the promoter for estrogen receptor (ER) β, a major ER in the PVN. Slow-pressor AngII increased arterial blood pressure in mice at peri- and post-AOF time points. In control oil-injected (nonhypertensive) mice, AngII decreased the total number of GluN1 in ERβ-containing PVN dendrites. In contrast, AngII resulted in a reapportionment of GluN1 from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane of ERβ-containing PVN dendrites in peri-AOF mice. Moreover, in post-AOF mice, AngII increased total GluN1, dendritic size and radical production in ERβ-containing neurons. These results indicate that unique patterns of hypothalamic glutamate receptor plasticity and dendritic structure accompany the elevated blood pressure in peri- and post-AOF time points. Our findings suggest the possibility that distinct neurobiological processes are associated with the increased blood pressure during perimenopausal and postmenopausal periods.

description: In this research, salicylic acid is proposed as an alternative biocide-free agent suitable for a preventive or integrative anti-biofilm approach. Salicylic acid has been proved to: (1) reduce bacterial adhesion up to 68.1 ± 5.6%; (2) affect biofilm structural development, reducing viable biomass by 97.0 ± 0.7% and extracellular proteins and polysaccharides by 83.9 ± 2.5% and 49.5 ± 5.5% respectively; and (3) promote biofilm detachment 3.4 ± 0.6-fold. Moreover, salicylic acid treated biofilm showed an increased amount of intracellular (2.3 ± 0.2-fold) and extracellular (2.1 ± 0.3-fold) reactive oxygen species, and resulted in increased production of the quorum sensing signal indole (7.6 ± 1.4-fold). For the first time, experiments revealed that salicylic acid interacts with proteins that play a role in quorum sensing, reactive oxygen species accumulation, motility, extracellular polymeric matrix components, transport and metabolism.

description: The results of in-water vortex-induced vibration (VIV) experiments on circular cylinders artificially covered with barnacles are reported. The paper focusses on the effects of the partial coverage and the shape of the fouling elements. An artificial barnacle typical of marine fouling was synthesised using 3-D printing. Coverage ratios of 80, 50 and 30% were examined and the results compared with those from a smooth cylinder. The Reynolds number ranged from 5.8 × 103 to 6.6 × 104. The experimental results show that the fouling reduced the peak VIV amplitude, narrowed the synchronisation region and lowered the hydrodynamic force coefficients such as the coefficients of lift force RMS, the mean drag force and the fluctuating drag force RMS. The shape of the artificial barnacles had little effect on the maximum oscillation amplitude. The coverage ratio appeared to have a lower impact on the lift force than those on the amplitude and the frequency responses.

description: There is currently strong motivation due to ecological concerns to develop effective anti-biofouling coatings that are environmentally benign, durable, and stable for use by the maritime industry. The antifouling (AF) and fouling-release (FR) efficacy of amphiphilic, charged copolymers composed of ~52% acrylamide, ~34% acrylic acid, and ~14% methyl acrylate grafted to poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMSe) surfaces were tested against zoospores of the green alga Ulva linza and the diatom Navicula incerta. The biofouling response to molecular weight variation was analyzed for grafts ranging from ~100 to 1,400 kg mol−1, The amphiphilic coatings showed a marked improvement in the FR response, with a 55% increase in the percentage removal of diatoms and increased AF efficacy, with 92% reduction in initial attachment density of zoospores, compared to PDMSe controls. However, graft molecular weight, in the range tested, was statistically insignificant. Grafting copolymers to PDMSe embossed with the Sharklet™ microtopography did not produce enhanced AF efficacy.

description: Robust evaluation and comparison of antimicrobial technologies are critical to improving biofilm prevention and treatment. Herein, a multi-pronged experimental framework and statistical models were applied to determine the effects of quaternary pyridinium salt, 4-acetyl-1-hexadecylpyridin-1-ium iodide (QPS-1), on Streptococcus mutans in the planktonic, biofilm-forming and biofilm cell states. Minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations (MIC and MBC, respectively) were determined via common methods with novel application of statistical approaches combining random effects models and interval censored data to estimate uncertainties. The MICs and MBCs for planktonic and biofilm-forming states ranged from 3.12 to 12.5 μg ml−1, with biofilm values only ≈ 8 times higher. Potent anti-biofilm activity and reactive structural features make QPS-1 a promising antibacterial additive for dental and potentially other biomedical devices. Together, the experimental framework and statistical models provide estimates and uncertainties for effective antimicrobial concentrations in multiple cell states, enabling statistical comparisons and improved characterization of antibacterial agents.

description: Aims: To compare economic and clinical outcomes between patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRY) or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) with use of powered vs manual endoscopic surgical staplers. Materials and methods: Patients (aged ≥21 years) who underwent LRY or LSG during a hospital admission (January 1, 2012–September 30, 2015) were identified from the Premier Perspective Hospital Database. Use of powered vs manual staplers was identified from hospital administrative billing records. Multivariable analyses were used to compare the following outcomes between the powered and manual stapler groups, adjusting for patient and hospital characteristics and hospital-level clustering: hospital length of stay (LOS), total hospital costs, medical/surgical supply costs, room and board costs, operating room costs, operating room time, discharge status, bleeding/transfusion during the hospital admission, and 30, 60, and 90-day all-cause readmissions. Results: The powered and manual stapler groups comprised 9,851 patients (mean age = 44.6 years; 79.3% female) and 21,558 patients (mean age = 45.0 years; 78.0% female), respectively. In the multivariable analyses, adjusted mean hospital LOS was 2.1 days for both the powered and manual stapler groups (p = .981). Adjusted mean total hospital costs ($12,415 vs $13,547, p = .003), adjusted mean supply costs ($4,629 vs $5,217, p = .011), and adjusted mean operating room costs ($4,126 vs $4,413, p = .009) were significantly lower in the powered vs manual stapler group. The adjusted rate of bleeding and/or transfusion during the hospital admission (2.46% vs 3.22%, p = .025) was significantly lower in the powered vs manual stapler group. The adjusted rates of 30, 60, and 90-day all-cause readmissions were similar between the groups (all p > .05). Sub-analysis by manufacturer showed similar results. Limitations: This observational study cannot establish causal linkages. Conclusions: In this analysis of patients who underwent LRY or LSG, the use of powered staplers was associated with better economic outcomes, and a lower rate of bleeding/transfusion vs manual staplers in the real-world setting.

description: This study is distinct from prior research focusing mainly on the relationship of corporate governance mechanisms to earnings management or earnings informativeness because it examines the associations between governance structure, ownership structure, and earnings predictability. Using a sample of 330 firms for the period of 2008 through 2009, the findings reveal that the predictive ability of earnings is high when firms have small boards, an independent chairperson, and high shareholding by institutions. However, in contradiction to our expectation is the significant but negative effect of board independence on earnings predictability. The results also demonstrate that investors do not perceive independent audit committees, more active audit committees, competent audit committees, and a high shareholding of management as good indicators of earnings numbers with a high predictive value

description: This study examines market reactions towards the appointment of women to corporate boards and observes if women’s attributes as well as the role that they play in discharging their monitoring responsibilities would affect the value of firms. We observe 127 Malaysian firms that appoint women directors over the period 1999-2011. We use the market model to assess abnormal returns surrounding the appointment of women directors from day -10 to day 10. Using conventional t-test, share time series test and rank test, we find that investors welcome the appointment of women directors. A positive average abnormal return (AAR) is observed on day -1 using all the three tests. Cumulative average abnormal returns (CAAR) are positive over the period day 1 to day 10. We also find that investors are more likely to favour women who are prominent, younger, have no international exposure and no family relationship with any other directors. Our findings support the initiative taken by the Malaysian Government to promote greater women participation on corporate boards. Policy makers may benefit from this study because it provides them an input at enhancing the policy related to women on boards.

description: Edge detection is a very commonly adopted operation in any pattern recognition task like image segmentation as edges are the prominent features which form the outlines in an image. Detecting edges for a color image is a bit difficult than the same in a gray image. In this paper, a novel approach for edge detection in color images is proposed. This approach is based on Multidirectional Sobel filter. For the color arrangement, HSV color space is used. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.

description: Board diversity is important especially in countries which practice a one-tier board system, such as Malaysia. Under the system, board appointments are usually controlled by the firm’s substantial shareholders, and as a result, directors are chosen based on “the old-boy” network or “people like us”, who are typically middle-aged males and from similar ethnicity which could lead to “group think”. Board diversity ensures breadth and depth of the board’s judgments. To this end, this study examines board diversity of the top 100 non-financial Malaysian firms, specifically directors’ gender, ethnicity and age and their effects on firm performance. Data are collected from the 2007 annual reports of the sample firms. The evidence indicates the lack of diversity of the Malaysian boards of directors. Results from the multivariate analyses reveal that gender diversity is negatively associated with Tobin’s q and ROA. Age diversity is found to be negatively related to ROA. Ethnic diversity, on the other hand, is found to be positively associated with ROA. Hence, findings on the effect of board diversity and firm performance are mixed. Nevertheless, this study offers insights to policy makers in enhancing corporate governance in Malaysia where diversity is one of the areas that could strengthen the effectiveness of the board.

description: This paper examines the relationship between board of directors’ characteristics (educational level diversity, nationality diversity, board interlocking, board size and number of independent directors) and intellectual capital performance in a sample of 147 banks in Gulf Cooperation council (GCC) countries for the period 2008-2010. The results show that IC performance of GCC listed banks is low. In contrast to our expectation, the number of independent directors has a significant negative relationship with IC performance of GCC listed banks. All other variables are not associated with IC performance.

description: Background: The association of blood pressure (BP) variability (BPV) in hospitalized patients, which represents day-to-day variability, with mortality has been extensively reported in patients with stroke, but poorly defined for other medical conditions. Aim and method: To assess the association of day-to-day blood pressure variability in hospitalized patients, 10 BP measurements were obtained in individuals ≥75 years old hospitalized in a geriatric ward. Day-to-day BPV, measured 3 times a day, was calculated in each patient as the coefficient of variation of systolic BP. Patients were stratified by quartiles of coefficient of variation of systolic BP, and 30-day and 1-year mortality data were compared between those in the highest versus the lowest (reference) group. Results: Overall, 469 patients were included in the final analysis. Mean coefficient of variation of systolic BP was 12.1%. 30-day mortality and 1-year mortality occurred in 29/469 (6.2%) and 95/469 (20.2%) individuals respectively. Patients in the highest quartile of BPV were at a significantly higher risk for 30-day mortality (HR =4.12, CI 1.12–15.10) but not for 1-year mortality compared with the lowest BPV quartile (HR =1.61, CI 0.81–3.23). Conclusions: Day-to-day BPV is associated with 30-day, but not with 1-year mortality in hospitalized elderly patients.

description: RESUMO

 

A ausência de identificação biométrica de neonatos e crianças tem se constituído em grande obstáculo para diversos países que buscam a implantação de políticas públicas voltadas à saúde e ao combate a casos de troca de bebês em maternidades, tráfico de crianças, dentre outros. A Papiloscopia como método de identificação, se mostra suficientemente segura e precisa para a identificação de adultos, mas sua aplicação em maternidades é controversa, apesar da obrigatoriedade prevista na legislação brasileira. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo empregar uma escala de qualidade adaptada do Centre for Applied Science and Technology (CAST) para a investigação da qualidade técnica de padrões biométricos de papilogramas neonatais coletados pela técnica tradicional de tinta em papel e por scanner de captura biométrica. Ao todo, foram analisados 177 podogramas de neonatos e 168 impressões digitais provenientes de bebês e crianças com faixas etárias variáveis até quatro anos. Os resultados indicaram (i) a baixíssima qualidade de podogramas coletados de neonatos pela técnica tradicional, constituindo biometrias ineficazes para a finalidade da identificação; (ii) ampla variação de qualidade dos datilogramas coletados por scanner de captura biométrica, com queda de qualidade nas primeiras 23 horas de vida e estabilidade em boa qualidade após um ano do nascimento. É importante que tomadas de decisão de gestores públicos encontrem amparo em pesquisas científicas que avaliem a viabilidade de soluções propostas para a identificação neonatal.
