Cardiovascular Consequences of Exposure to Low-Dose Radiation

Subjects: classificationCode: 329999
subject: Other biomedical and clinical sciences not elsewhere classified

description: The damage and repair are normally in dynamic equilibrium. The harm caused by radiocontamination would tend to zero with a dose rate decreasing down to the level of natural background. Moreover, evolutionary adaptation to a changing factor would correspond to some average from the past. The radiation background has been decreasing during the time of life existence on the Earth. Epidemiological studies in humans will hardly add reliable information on low-dose low-rate exposures. Screening effect, selection, self-selection and ideological bias will lead to appearance of new reports on enhanced risks from low doses, which would not prove causality. Today there are no alternatives to nuclear power. Fossil fuels will become increasingly expensive in the long run, contributing to excessive population growth in producing countries, and poverty elsewhere. Apparently, some scientific writers and environmental campaigners, exaggerating medical and ecological consequences of the anthropogenic increase in the radiation background, do not realize that they serve the interests of fossil fuel producers. Some of them may have good intentions; others are ideologically biased, serve certain governments or companies. Today, when a probability of conflicts is enhanced, the attitude to a moderate anthropogenic increase of the radiation background should be changed. The research must be separated from economical and political interests. Reliable results can be obtained in large-scale animal experiments. The life duration is a sensitive endpoint attributable to radiation, which can measure the net harm, if any, from low-dose exposures.

description: Resumo

O quilotórax é uma patologia rara no feto e no recém-nascido que resulta de uma anomalia do desenvolvimento (quilotórax congénito) ou traumatismo (quilotórax traumático) do canal torácico e consequente acumulação de linfa no espaço pleural. A clínica depende do volume e rapidez de formação do derrame e baseia-se em sinais de dificuldade respiratória, diminuição da amplitude da expansão torácica, diminuição dos sons respiratórios na auscultação pulmonar e macicez à percussão. O diagnóstico é confirmado por um doseamento, no líquido pleural, de triglicerídeos superior a 110 mg/ dl (com alimentação entérica) e uma contagem de células superior a 1000/ mm3 com predomínio de linfócitos (70% a 100%). O tratamento, independente da causa, é inicialmente conservador e consiste na drenagem do derrame quiloso e reposição das perdas nutricionais. O tratamento cirúrgico é reservado para os casos que não respondem a medidas conservadoras ou que apresentam complicações durante a sua aplicação.

A mortalidade neonatal associada ao quilotórax apresentou uma diminuição acentuada nos últimos anos. Trabalhos recentes referem 100% de bons resultados empregando tratamento conservador ou conservador e cirúrgico. Amortalidade perinatal do quilotórax fetal excede os 50% sendo o prognóstico pior nos casos associados a hipoplasia pulmonar e hidrópsia fetal.

Neste artigo, os autores apresentam uma revisão teórica, focando os principais aspectos relacionados com o quilotórax no feto e no recém-nascido.

A study of 4-H local leadership in South Carolina
Creators: name: Clayton, Leon O.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Local 4-H Club leaders play an important part in the conduct of the 4-H Club program. One means of increasing the educational values of the program to rural boys and girls who are 4-H members is to improve the work done by these leaders. They perform many different jobs; the methods and criteria used in selecting them very greatly; and many of them are not trained in the techniques of 4-H leadership. Since 4-H leadership is voluntary, satisfactions obtained from their work are other than monetary. In this study, an attempt is made to determine what jobs leaders should perform; to arrive at criteria for selection of leaders; to determine methods for training them; and to learn what satisfactions to emphasize in maintaining morale.
Search for planets in hot Jupiter systems with multi-sector TESS photometry. II. Constraints on planetary companions in 12 systems

description: Uninterrupted observations from space-borne telescopes provide the photometric precision that is required to detect shallow transits of small planets missed by ground-based surveys. We used data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to search for nearby planetary companions in 12 planetary systems with hot Jupiters: HD 2685, Qatar-10, WASP-4, WASP-48, WASP-58, WASP-91, WASP-120, WASP-121, WASP-122, WASP-140, XO-6, and XO-7. We also applied the transit timing method based on homogeneously determined mid-transit times in order to search for non-transiting companions that could gravitationally perturb the already known planets. We found no additional planets in those systems down to the regime of sub-Neptunian globes. This negative result is in line with statistical studies, supporting the high-eccentricity migration as a pathway of the investigated giant planets to the tight orbits observed today.

description: Dr. William J. Brady was a physician and pathologist who served as the Multnomah County Coroner and as the Oregon State Medical Examiner. Born in 1932, Brady attended the University of Oregon Medical School, training in autopsies and pathology under the guidance of Dr. Warren Hunter. In 1960, he won the election to become Multnomah County’s Coroner, on the promise that he would dissolve the position of County Coroner and fold it into the State Medical Examiner’s office, which he did in 1964. He then served as the Oregon Medical Examiner from 1969 until 1985, continuing afterward with his private practice until his death in 2017.
 In this interview conducted in 2007, Brady discusses his career and education, including the specificities involved with the politics and day to day routines of determining causes of death. He also discusses the history of coroners in regard to both its English roots and its status in Oregon, the doctors who shaped the profession and his development and his opinions on depictions of forensic pathology in television and media.

description: We show that the chiral anomaly of quantum field theories with Dirac fermions subject to an axial background field is an inherent property of kinematics of a perfect classical fluid. Celebrated Beltrami flows (stationary solutions of Euler equations with extensive helicity) exhibit the chiral anomaly equivalent to that known for Dirac fermions. A prominent effect of the chiral anomaly is the transport electric current at equilibrium. We show that it is also a property of Beltrami flows.

A Primer on the Dynamical Systems Approach to Transport in Porous Media

description: Historically, the dominant conceptual paradigm of porous media flow, solute mixing and transport was based on steady two-dimensional flows in heterogeneous porous media. Although it is now well recognised that novel transport phenomena can arise in unsteady and/or three-dimensional flows at both the pore- or Darcy-scales, appropriate methods for analysis and understanding of these more complex flows have not been widely employed. In this primer we advocate for methods borrowed from dynamical systems (chaos) theory, which aim to uncover the \emph{Lagrangian kinematics} of these flows: namely how fluid particle trajectories (which form a dynamical system) are organized and interact and the associated impacts on solute transport and mixing. This dynamical systems approach to transport is inherently Lagrangian, and the Lagrangian kinematics form Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs), special sets of trajectories that divide the Lagrangian frame into chaotic mixing regions, poorly mixing hold-up regions (and in some cases non-mixing ``islands'') and the transport barriers that organise these regions. Hence the dynamical systems approach provides insights into flows that may exhibit chaotic, regular (non-chaotic) or mixed Lagrangian kinematics, and also into how LCSs organize solute transport and mixing. Novel experimental methods are only recently permitting visualization of LCSs are in porous media flows. In this primer we review the dynamical systems approach to porous media flow and transport and connect the associated tools and techniques with the latest research findings from pore to Darcy scales. This primer provides an introduction to the methods and tools of dynamical systems theory. Once familiar with these approaches, porous media researchers will be better positioned to know when to expect complex Lagrangian kinematics, how to uncover and understand LCSs and their impacts ...

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit Lernwirkungen von blinden und sehbehinderten Menschen im Museum und setzt sich mit der Frage auseinander, welche individuellen Lernwirkungen bei einer speziellen Blindenführung in der Österreichischen Galerie Belvedere feststellbar sind. In diesem Zusammenhang wurde im theoretischen Teil zunächst die Barrierefreiheit und die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen in Museen thematisiert, bevor der Lernbegriff allgemein und später Lernen im Museum behandelt wurden. Für die Bearbeitung der Forschungsfrage wurden qualitative Methoden herangezogen, wobei die Erhebung des Datenmaterials zu drei unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten erfolgte. Die vier teilnehmenden Besucher wurden jeweils vor, nach und noch einmal zwei Wochen nach der gemeinsam besuchten Führung im Belvedere in Form von halbstandardisierten Interviews nach Mayring (2002) interviewt. Ausgewertet wurde das Material mit der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse, ebenfalls nach Mayring (2010). Die mit Hilfe eines Kodierleitfadens erstellten Kategorien wurden zunächst beschrieben, um sie dann vor dem Hintergrund des Theorieteils zu interpretieren.

The paper first outlines the possible ways in which education contributes to greater conflict rather than to peace. It next explores issues in impact assessment. Then it details evaluation possibilities in three domains: international comparisons and linkages; long-term individual and group evaluation or tracer studies; and short-term or immediate evaluations. It finally argues for a focus on structures and processes within schools, looking at democratic versus authoritarian schooling, the impact of violent schools, how schools teach about conflict and the need to promote citizen research and evaluation.

description: We investigate the analytic properties of the fixed charge expansion for a number of conformal field theories in different space-time dimensions. The models investigated here are $O(N)$ and $QED_3$. We show that in $d=3-ε$ dimensions the contribution to the $O(N)$ fixed charge $Q$ conformal dimensions obtained in the double scaling limit of large charge and vanishing $ε$ is non-Borel summable, doubly factorial divergent, and with order $\sqrt{Q}$ optimal truncation order. By using resurgence techniques we show that the singularities in the Borel plane are related to worldline instantons that were discovered in the other double scaling limit of large $Q$ and $N$ of Ref. [1]. In $d=4-ε$ dimensions the story changes since in the same large $Q$ and small $ε$ regime the next order corrections to the scaling dimensions lead to a convergent series. The resummed series displays a new branch cut singularity which is relevant for the stability of the $O(N)$ large charge sector for negative $ε$. Although the $QED_3$ model shares the same large charge behaviour of the $O(N)$ model, we discover that at leading order in the large number of matter field expansion the large charge scaling dimensions are Borel summable, single factorial divergent, and with order $Q$ optimal truncation order.

Effect of spin-orbit interaction on circular current: Pure spin current phenomena within a ring conductor

description: A net circulating current may appear within a quantum ring under finite bias. We study the characteristic features of the circular current in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI). Both charge and spin currents appear within the ring. Whereas when the ring is symmetrically connected to the external leads, we can get a pure charge current at non-zero Fermi-energy. On the other hand, for asymmetric ring-to-leads configuration, at zero Fermi-energy, the spin current vanishes but a pure charge current flows within the ring. Tuning RSOI, we demonstrate a way to control the pure spin current externally. This new perspective of the generation of the pure spin circular current can open a new basis for the highly efficient, low energy cost spintronic devices.

Using birefringent elements and imaging Michelsons for calibration of high precision planet finding spectrographs

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)

description: One of the main methods used for finding extrasolar planets is the radial velocity technique, in which the Doppler shift of a star due to an orbiting planet is measured. These measurements are typically performed using cross-dispersed echelle spectrographs. Unfortunately such spectrographs are large and expensive and their accurate calibration continues to be challenging. The aim is to develop a different way to provide a calibration signal. A commonly used way to introduce a calibration signal is to insert an iodine cell in the beam. Disadvantages of this include that the lines are narrow, do not cover the entire spectrum and that light is absorbed. Here I show that inserting a birefringent element or an imaging Michelson, combined with Wollaston prisms eliminates these three shortcomings, while maintaining most of the benefits of the iodine approach. The proposed designs can be made very compact, thereby providing a convenient way of calibrating a spectrograph. Similar to the iodine cell approach, the calibration signal travels with the stellar signal, thereby reducing the sensitivity to spectrograph stability. The imposed signal covers the entire visible range and any temperature drifts will be consistent and describable by a single number. Based on experience with similar devices used, in a different configuration, by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager, it is shown that the calibration device can be made stable at the 0.1 m/s level, over a significant wavelength range, on short to medium time scales. While promising, many details still need to be worked out. In particular a number of laboratory measurements are required in order to finalize a design and estimate actual performance and it would be desirable to make a proof of concept.

The administration of the Davis-Bacon law
Creators: name: Simonson, Richard Castellar
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The history of national minimum wage legislation in the United States begins with the enactment of the Davis-Bacon statute in 1931. This law guarantees to workers on certain classes of Federal public works the wages prevailing in the locality of each project.The problems involved in the operation of the law are the subject of this thesis. Special attention is devoted to the relations of administrators, employers, and labor organizations.The policies of these groups decisively affect the earnings of thousands of workers, the strength of a score of important unions, the profits of hundreds of employers, and the expenditure of millions of dollars for public works. The attitudes of contractors and of unions toward Federal labor legislation have been powerfully influenced by the extent to which their policies have been satisfied or frustrated by the Davis-Bacon Act.By describing the cooperation and the conflicts between the interested groups, this study discloses certain issues which must be faced in the administration of minimum wage laws. The improvements needed in the operation of the Davis-Bacon Act are discussed in the light of the experiments which have already been made.At present, material is very limited in regard to the regulation of wages paid on public works. It is the hope of this student that the gap will be partially filled by this detailed history of the foremost. Federal prevailing wage statute. This study also includes analyses of the administrative and economic interrelations of the Government and the Interested parties. The thesis is concluded by an original record of the evaluations of the law which have been made by the organizations involved.

(Fig. 6)
Material examined. Egypt, Hurghada: St. 13: 1 intermediate valve, width 4 mm, Figs 6 A–D (MZB 50529).
Description. Intermediate valves trapezoidal, rounded in anterior profile, elevated (height/width ratio 0.61), anterior margin almost straight in jugal area, lateral areas weakly raised.
Tegmentum surface appears rough, sculptured with fine granules, fusing into continuous longitudinal lines in central area, radially in lateral areas.
Articulamentum with short, wide apophyses connected at jugum by lamina, insertion plates short, with two slits, slit rays visible.
Remarks. This intermediate valve is characterised by the lack of longitudinal grooves on the pleural area (as in C. vanninii), the rounded anterior profile and the strong elevation (H/W = 0.61), higher than that seen in intermediate valves of C. vanninii (H/W = 0.30–0.48). These characters do not agree with those of the other named Indian Ocean Callochiton species, C. clausadeae Kaas & Van Belle, 1985b (from Madagascar, Mauritius, Réunion, and the Maldive Islands), C. levatus Kaas & Van Belle, 1998 (from Madagascar, Réunion, Mauritius and Chagos Archipelago) and C. christamariae Schwabe, 2003 (from Mauritius).
Two fossil species of Callochiton have a similar dorsal elevation. Callochiton calcatus Dell’Angelo & Palazzi, 1994 (H/W = 0.65–0.72), known from the Recent Mediterranean and the submerged Pleistocene of the Tyrrhenian Sea geographic area between Capraia and Capo Corso, Italy (Dell’Angelo & Giusti 1997), differs from Callochi- ton sp. mainly by the presence of longitudinal grooves on the pleural areas and the more angulated intermediate valves. Callochiton pouweri Dell’Angelo, Landau, Van Dingenen & Ceulemans, 2018b (H/W = 0.58–0.64), known from the upper Miocene of Anjou, France, differs from Callochiton sp. mainly by the presence of longitudinal grooves on the pleural areas and the valves being carinated in anterior profile.
Distribution. Late Pleistocene: Egypt (Hurghada: this study).

description: The history of national minimum wage legislation in the United States begins with the enactment of the Davis-Bacon statute in 1931. This law guarantees to workers on certain classes of Federal public works the wages prevailing in the locality of each project.The problems involved in the operation of the law are the subject of this thesis. Special attention is devoted to the relations of administrators, employers, and labor organizations.The policies of these groups decisively affect the earnings of thousands of workers, the strength of a score of important unions, the profits of hundreds of employers, and the expenditure of millions of dollars for public works. The attitudes of contractors and of unions toward Federal labor legislation have been powerfully influenced by the extent to which their policies have been satisfied or frustrated by the Davis-Bacon Act.By describing the cooperation and the conflicts between the interested groups, this study discloses certain issues which must be faced in the administration of minimum wage laws. The improvements needed in the operation of the Davis-Bacon Act are discussed in the light of the experiments which have already been made.At present, material is very limited in regard to the regulation of wages paid on public works. It is the hope of this student that the gap will be partially filled by this detailed history of the foremost. Federal prevailing wage statute. This study also includes analyses of the administrative and economic interrelations of the Government and the Interested parties. The thesis is concluded by an original record of the evaluations of the law which have been made by the organizations involved.
title: Die Kraft der Erlebnisunmittelbarkeit der Freude im Denken und Handeln
Creators: name: Dungl, Eva
Year: 2017

description: „Freude“ gehört zu den bedeutsamen Grunderfahrungen eines jeden Menschen, und dennoch spielt sie in den Konzepten der Philosophie eine untergeordnete und wenig differenzierte Rolle. Ein Gewinn der Freude am Schönen gemeinsam mit dem Guten im Streben nach Wissen wird auf Grundlage des bekannten Eros-Konzepts Platons und auf einer anderen Quelle, des „aktiven Nichts“ der Zen-Philosophie, kulturphilosophisch und metaphysisch mit der Methode der Komparatistik untersucht. Oft ist heute bereits von einer Vernachlässigung des Gefühls als Basis für Menschlichkeit die Rede. Demgegenüber steht die große Skepsis der Wissenschaftlichkeit, dem eine Emotionalität im Wege stehen könnte. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll zeigen, dass „Freude“ weniger bei der Egozentrik und Triebhaftigkeit verortet ist, als vielmehr im geistig schöpferischen „Nicht-Selbst“. „Freude“ ist verbunden mit dem achtsamen, aktiven Sehen und einem lebendigen, flexiblen Geist, der in der Realität tätig ist. Sie gibt Kraft zu Durchhalten, während mit dem Verschwinden von Materiellem diese auch schwindet. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll mit Rück¬griff auf das Konzept der griechischen Antike der Trias vom „Wahren, Guten und Schönen“ unter einer Art Zuhilfenahme des Zen-Buddhismus die humanitäre Grundlage des allseitig offenen „Herz-Geistes“ zu neuem Leben erwecken.

description: We examine the multistability associated with miscibility-immiscibility conditions for a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to the light field in an optical cavity. For a strongly immiscible condition, the system exhibits a variety of density structures, including separated state, stripe state, and their coexistence. The multistability arises from these spatial structures of the two-component condensate, which significantly alter the hysteresis curve with respect to the intensity of cavity pumping. We present a variational approach to confirm our numerical results.

description: Progress in high-performance computing demands significant advances in memory technology. Among novel memory technologies that promise efficient device operation on a sub-ns timescale, resistance switching between charge ordered phases of the 1T-TaS$_2$ has shown to be potentially useful for the development of high-speed, energy efficient non-volatile memory device. While ultrafast switching was previously reported with optical pulses, determination of the intrinsic speed limits of actual devices that are triggered by electrical pulses is technically challenging and hitherto still largely unexplored. A new optoelectronic laboratory-on-a-chip, designed for measurements of ultrafast memory switching, enables an accurate measurement of the electrical switching parameters with 100 fs temporal resolution. A photoconductive response is used for ultrashort electrical pulse generation, while its propagation along a coplanar transmission line is detected using electro-optical sampling using a purpose-grown highly-resistive electro-optic (Cd,Mn)Te crystal substrate. By combining the transmission line and the 1T-TaS$_2$ device in a single optoelectronic circuit a non-volatile resistance switching with a single 1.9 ps electrical pulse is demonstrated, with an extremely small switching energy density per unit area E$_A$ = 9.4 fJ/$μ$m$^2$. The experiments demonstrate ultrafast, energy-efficient circuits utilizing switching between non-volatile charge-ordered states offers a new technological platform for cryogenic memory devices.

description: Genus Rhyssoplax Thiele, 1893
Type species. Chiton affinis Issel, 1869, by subsequent designation (International Committee of Zoological Nomenclature 1971, Opinion 951, as proposed by Beu et al. 1969).
Remarks. The genus Chiton was subdivided into numerous subgenera by Kaas et al. (2006), some of which (e.g. Rhyssoplax Thiele, 1893) were promoted to full genus rank by Sirenko (2006), based mainly on soft part morphology.
Distribution. Tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific (except for the East Pacific), also in the Eastern Atlantic. The fossil record extends back to the Oligocene of New Zealand (Dell’Angelo et al. 2011a), the Neogene of Europe (Dell’Angelo et al. 2004, 2015; Garilli et al. 2005; Studencka & Dulai 2010), Africa (Algeria: De Lamothe 1911; Tunisia: Castany et al. 1956), New Zealand (Beu & Maxwell 1990) and Japan (Itoigawa et al. 1976).
