description: This paper presents scalable traffic stability analysis for both pure autonomous vehicle (AV) traffic and mixed traffic based on continuum traffic flow models. Human vehicles are modeled by a non-equilibrium traffic flow model, i.e., Aw-Rascle-Zhang (ARZ), which is unstable. AVs are modeled by the mean field game which assumes AVs are rational agents with anticipation capacities. It is shown from linear stability analysis and numerical experiments that AVs help stabilize the traffic. Further, we quantify the impact of AV's penetration rate and controller design on the traffic stability. The results may provide insights for AV manufacturers and city planners.

description: Crohn's disease, a transmural inflammatory bowel disease, has many well-known extra-intestinal manifestations and complications. Although acute pancreatitis has a higher incidence in patients with Crohn's disease as compared to the general population, acute pancreatitis is still relatively uncommon in patients with Crohn's disease. Patients with Crohn's disease are at an approximately fourfold higher risk than the general population to develop acute pancreatitis. The risk of developing acute pancreatitis is higher in females as compared to males. Acute pancreatitis can occur at any age with higher incidence reported in patients in their 20s and between 40-50 years of age. The severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis in patients with Crohn's disease is the same as in general population. Acute pancreatitis can occur before onset of intestinal Crohn's disease, this presentation being more common in children than adults. It can also occur as the presenting symptom. However, most commonly it occurs after intestinal symptoms have manifest with a mean time interval between the initial presentation and development of acute pancreatitis being 2 years. There are several etiological factors contributing to acute pancreatitis in patients with Crohn's disease. It is not clear whether acute pancreatitis is a direct extra-intestinal manifestation of Crohn's disease; however, majority of the cases of acute pancreatitis in patients with Crohn's disease are due to GS and medications. Drugs used for the treatment of Crohn's disease that have been reported to cause acute pancreatitis include 5-ASA agents, azathioprine and 6 mercaptopurine, metornidazole and corticosteroids. Recent evidence has emerged correlating both type 1 and 2 autoimmune pancreatitis with Crohn's disease. Understanding the association between the two disease entities is key to effectively manage patients with Crohn's disease and acute pancreatitis.

description: In recent years, nanostructures have attracted the attention of many scientists due to their unique properties. Many properties of nanostructures can be improved by changing the surface. For this purpose, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were covalently modified using Suzuki-cross coupling reactions with microwave-assisted synthesis. First, the MWCNTs were brominated. Aryl functionalized MWCNTs were synthesized from the reaction of brominated MWCNTs with aryl boronic acid derivatives in the presence of palladium catalyst. Synthesized compounds were characterized by the techniques of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Thermogravimetric Analysis and Transmission Electron Microscopy. The hydrogen storage properties of the synthetic compounds were determined. The example with the highest hydrogen storage capacity was N2 and its hydrogen storage capacity was determined as 0.45 wt%. The hydrogen storage capacity of functionalized MWCNTs was consistent with the results of carbon nanomaterials in the literature.

description: Context The potential of lazaroid U-74389G in attenuating injury after ischemia and reperfusion has been reported in various organs. Objective The present study focuses specifically on the pancreas and aims to examine any effects of U-74389G in a swine model of pancreatic ischemia and reperfusion, encompassing ischemic preconditioning. Methods Twelve pigs, weighing 28–35 kg, were randomized into two experimental groups. Group A (control group, n=6): Two periods of ischemic preconditioning (5 min each) separated by a 5-min rest interval; then ischemia time 30 min and reperfusion for 120 min. Group B (n=6): the same as above, with U-74389G intravenous injection in the inferior vena cava immediately prior to the initiation of reperfusion. Blood sampling and pancreatic biopsies were conducted at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after reperfusion. Results Repeated-measures ANOVA was undertaken to evaluate differences between the two study groups. No statistically significant differences were noted concerning the histopathological parameters in the control and therapy groups (P=0.563 for edema, P=0.241 for hemorrhage, P=0.256 for leukocyte infiltration, P=0.231 for acinar necrosis and P=0.438 for vacuolization). In accordance with the above, serum metabolic data (glucose, creatinine, urea, total and direct bilirubin, total calcium, amylase, lipase, SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT, ALP, GGT, LDH, CRP, insulin) were not significantly different between the two groups; similarly, tumor necrosis factor-α values (P=0.705) and tissue malondialdehyde levels (P=0.628) did not differ between the two groups. Conclusion This swine model of pancreatic ischemia and reperfusion, encompassing preconditioning, indicates that U-74389G lazaroid does not seem to exert protective effects from pancreatic damage.

description: Context The surgical treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis includes percutaneous drainage of acute necrotic collections and sequestrectomy in the late phase of the disease. Objective The aim of the study was to compare the conventional open necrosectomy (CON) approach with the alternative focused open necrosectomy (FON) approach in patients with infected necrosis and progression of sepsis. Methods Patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis were included in the study prospectively from January 2004 to July 2014. All patients had been admitted with the first or a new episode of disease. Symptomatic large fluid collections were drained percutaneously. The step-up approach was used in patients with several distant localizations of infected necrosis. The methods were analysed by comparing the individual severity according to the ASA, APACHE II and SOFA scores, infection rate, postoperative complication rate and mortality. Results A total of 31 patients were included in the FON group and 39 in the CON group. The incidence of infection was similar in groups. More ASA III comorbid conditions, a higher APACHE II score, a more frequent need for renal replacement therapy was observed in the CON group. The postoperative complication rate was in the range of 32% to 44%; mortality reached 6.5% in the FON group and 12.8% in the CON group. Conclusions Comorbid conditions, organ failure, and infection are the main risk factors in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis. The step-up approach and perioperative ultrasonography navigation improves the clinical outcome and reduces the extent of invasive surgical intervention in patients unsuited to other minimally invasive procedures.

Anglo-Saxon land charters at Winchester College

Publisher: name: University of Oxford
Year: 2022
Subjects: Archaeology

description: Amongst the archives at Winchester College are 4 Anglo-Saxon charters which conveyed lands to the monastery in Winchester known as New Minster. These charters are the only pre-conquest documents from the New Minster (later known as Hyde Abbey) to survive. The monastery was founded on the initiative of the West-Saxon royal family. It is not certain how these documents came to be preserved amongst the archives at Winchester College, but it is thought that they passed to us in 1543 with other title deeds relating to lands owned by Hyde Abbey in Hampshire. Between the dissolution of the abbey and 1543, the charters and other documents had been in the possession of John Fisher of Chilton Candover and his signature can be seen at the bottom of each charter. The charters are all written in both Latin and Anglo-Saxon. Transcripts of them can be found in Liber Monasterii De Hyda, edited by Edward Edwards (London, 1866). The charters can be described as follows: Item 12091: a grant dated 940 by King Edmund, brother of King Athelstan, of the manor of Pewsey in Wiltshire to the monastery in Winchester dedicated to God and St Peter. Item 12092: a grant dated c925-933, of the manor of Chisledon in Wiltshire Item 12093: a grant dated 1019 of the manor of Drayton in Hampshire by King Cnut to Hyde Abbey Item 12091: this charter purports to be a grant dated 900 by King Edward the Elder, son of King Alfred, of lands in Micheldever, Hampshire, to the Monastery of Holy Trinity in the city of Winchester. However, the charter is actually a forgery of the 11th century. The purpose of the forgery is thought to be to vindicate the legal jurisdiction of New Minster over the hundred of Micheldever. More information about this charter, with a transcript and maps showing the lands it relates to can be found in an article by NP Brooks, 'The Oldest Document in the College Archives?

description: Context Although unripe plantain (Musa paradisiaca) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) are used as single plants to manage diabetes mellitus in Nigeria, the possibility of combining them in a typical diabetic diet and the glycemic response elicited as a result of such combination has not been investigated. Objective To determine the effect of unripe plantain and ginger on serum total proteins, albumin, creatinine and urea levels of streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Methods Twenty four male albino rats were used and were divided into 4 groups of 6 rats each. Group 1 (non-diabetic) received standard rat feeds; Group 2 (diabetic) received standard rat feeds; Group 3 received unripe plantain pellets and Group 4 received unripe plantain+ginger pellets. Results There were significant increases (P=0.045) of both serum urea and creatinine, but significant decreases (P=0.045) of both serum total protein and albumin levels, in Group 2 rats compared with Group 1. There were significant decreases (P=0.033) of both serum urea and creatinine levels of Group 3 and 4 rats compared with Group 2. In addition, there were significant increases of both serum total protein and albumin levels (P=0.033) in Group 3 rats compared with Group 2, but the comparison of serum total protein and albumin levels between Group 4 and Group 2 did not reach the significant level (P=0.056 and P=0.065 for serum total protein and albumin levels, respectively. Conclusion Combination of unripe plantain and ginger at the ratio used in the management of renal dysfunction in diabetics was not very effective compared with unripe plantain alone.

CORRELATION BETWEEN MORPHOMETRIC ASPECTS AND TENO-DESMIC LESIONS DETECTED BY MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING EXAMINATION IN THE EQUINE FOOT
Creators: name: DE ZANI, DONATELLA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: In the evaluation of equine foot radiography clinicians often do not evaluate the morphometric aspect of the foot but focus their attention only on radiographic abnormalities that in most cases reflect cronic pathology. On the basis of biomechanical studies on the forces acting on different structures of the foot, we hypothesized that would be a correlation between foot conformation and incidence/presence of foot lesions.
Seventy-four foot of lame horses were examined: 20 parameters were measured on radiographic views and MRI signal intensity, homogeneity and size of each structure was evaluated. Collected data were used for statistical purpose using simple linear correlation analysis and CART analysis.
Simple linear correlation highlighted the presence of relationship between some morphometric aspects and presence of lesions involving specific structures. Correlation trees explained the partecipation of different radiographic measurements in the development of lesion. CART could be employed during a clinical evaluation of lame horses in order to establish which structure had the major probability to be involved and how to assess proper corrective trimming/shoeing.
In non-lame horses the ?CART approach? could have a prognostic value and could help both veterinarians and farriers in the management of foot in order to prevent the development of pathological disorders.
In the current study a relationship between radiographic morphometric aspect of the equine foot and the presence of bony and teno-legamentous was observed.

description: This contribution presents a method that aims at the numerical analysis of solids represented by oriented point clouds. The proposed approach is based on the Finite Cell Method, a high-order immersed boundary technique that computes on a regular background grid of finite elements and requires only inside-outside information from the geometric model. It is shown that oriented point clouds provide sufficient information for these point-membership classifications. Further, we address a tessellation-free formulation of contour integrals that allows to apply Neumann boundary conditions on point clouds without having to recover the underlying surface. Two-dimensional linear elastic benchmark examples demonstrate that the method is able to provide the same accuracy as those computed with conventional, continuous surface descriptions, because the associated error can be controlled by the density of the cloud. Three-dimensional examples computed on point clouds of historical structures show how the method can be employed to establish seamless connections between digital shape measurement techniques and numerical analyses.

description: We present a novel guidance law that uses observations consisting solely of seeker line of sight angle measurements and their rate of change. The policy is optimized using reinforcement meta-learning and demonstrated in a simulated terminal phase of a mid-course exo-atmospheric interception. Importantly, the guidance law does not require range estimation, making it particularly suitable for passive seekers. The optimized policy maps stabilized seeker line of sight angles and their rate of change directly to commanded thrust for the missile's divert thrusters. The use of reinforcement meta-learning allows the optimized policy to adapt to target acceleration, and we demonstrate that the policy performs as well as augmented zero-effort miss guidance with perfect target acceleration knowledge. The optimized policy is computationally efficient and requires minimal memory, and should be compatible with today's flight processors.

Subjects: Pancreaticoduodenectomy

description: Context Pancreaticoduodenectomy in partially-gastrectomized patients presents some peculiarities of the reconstructive phase. Above all, in B II and Roux-en-Y partial gastrectomies, a gastric re-resection with a redo gastrojejunal anastomosis should be avoided because it is often needlessly time-consuming and risky. In our series of 7 consecutive patients, either one of two reconstruction methods was used, depending upon the length of the pre-existing afferent loop. Case reports In order to better illustrate this strategy, two cases of carcinoma of the duodenal papilla are reported. Both of the patients had previously undergone partial gastrectomy with B II reconstruction for peptic ulcers. Both were admitted to our hospital with a past history of jaundice. However, whereas in Case #2 a sufficiently long pre-existent afferent loop could be utilized for the pancreatic and bile duct anastomoses, in Case #1 a shorter afferent loop was removed and the efferent loop was utilized for the anastomoses. The postoperative course was uneventful in both patients. Conclusions This reconstructive strategy for pancreaticoduodenectomy in gastrectomized patients, which uses either of the methods described above, has produced good results in our series of 7 patients and appears to be rational and straightforward.

description: Context Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the gold standard for patients with resectable periampullary carcinoma. The protection of the anastomosis by positioning of an intraluminal stent is a technique used to lower the frequency of anastomotic fistulas. However the use of anastomotic stents is still debated and stent related complications are reported. Case report A fifty-three-year old male underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for a T2N0 periampullary carcinoma with a pancreaticojejunal (duct to mucosa) anastomosis protected by a free floating 6 Fr Nelaton stent in the Wirsung duct. Twenty-three months after surgery the patient accessed Emergency Department for severe abdominal pain associated to temperature, high white blood cell count and an significant increase in C reactive protein. Method Abdominal CT scan shown the presence of a tubular stent in the mesogastrium/lower right quadrant. No evident free intra-abdominal air was detected. The patient was submitted to explorative laparotomy. After debridement for localized peritonitis the Nelaton trans anastomotic stent was found in the abdomen. There was no evidence of bowel perforation, but intestinal loops covered with fibrin and suspect for impending perforation were resected. Conclusion There is a lack of evidence about the true rate of post-operative complications related to pancreatic stenting. We believe that in patients presenting with abdominal pain or peritonitis that previously underwent PD with stent-guided pancreaticojejunal anastomosis, the hypothesis of stent migration should at least be taken into consideration.

description: The HealthData@EU Pilot Deliverable 7.1 focuses on developing a common European data access application form, a key step in enabling the secure and harmonized cross-border secondary use of electronic health data under the European Health Data Space (EHDS) framework.

This deliverable introduces two distinct forms:

Data Request Form – for accessing anonymous aggregated data, which can be used freely without additional security measures.

Data Access Application Form – for anonymous or pseudonymized personal-level data, requiring a structured approval process, often including ethical review and secure processing environments for data analysis.

Development and Methodology

The design of these forms was guided by the EHDS Regulation proposal (May 2022) and aligned with GDPR and other relevant EU regulations. It was informed by best practices from multiple EU Member States with established health data access frameworks (e.g., Denmark, Finland, France, Norway). Key considerations included:

Ensuring structured and standardized information collection for easier processing and translation.

Balancing completeness (for thorough assessment) with usability (to minimize burden on applicants and data access bodies).

Supporting partial automation in application processing.

The development process involved multiple consultations, workshops, and expert reviews across legal, technical, and research domains. The deliverable provides detailed insights into the current landscape of health data access across partner countries, identifies challenges in harmonization, and offers technical and policy recommendations for implementing a unified EHDS data access system.

This work was led by Findata (Finnish Social and Health Data Permit Authority) and carried out between February and December 2023.

description: Context Late consequences of acute pancreatitis have received little attention. It is controversial whether the pancreas fully recovers after an episode of acute pancreatitis, especially in the presence of necrosis. Therefore, the presence of late pancreatic dysfunction following acute necrotizing pancreatitis is uncertain and there are controversies about how it may affect long-term quality of life. Objectives To evaluate pancreatic function and morphology, besides quality of life, in patients with prior acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Patients Patients who were admitted to our hospital with acute necrotizing pancreatitis in a ten-year interval were identified and thirty-eight survivors were contacted to enroll in the study out of which sixteen patients were included. Methods Exocrine function was studied by qualitative fecal fat excretion. Endocrine function was evaluated by oral glucose tolerance test, HOMA-beta and C-peptide. Pancreatic morphology was examined by computed tomography. Quality of life was measured by 36-item short-form health survey. Tests were performed at least twelve months after the index episode of acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Results The prevalence of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency was 6.2%. Endocrine dysfunction was observed in half the cases, and no association with the extension of necrosis was found. Morphological changes were frequent (62.5%) and more prevalent in those who faced extensive necrosis. Quality of life was considered good, and its impairment was found exclusively in mental health domain, markedly in patients who had alcoholic pancreatitis. There was no correlation between quality of life and prognostic indicators. Conclusions Exocrine function and quality of life were preserved in this group of patients. However, endocrine dysfunction and morphological abnormalities were frequent after acute necrotizing pancreatitis. These findings justify a long-term follow-up in order to initiate specific treatment promptly.

description: In this paper, a very effective method to solve the contiguous face occlusion recognition problem is proposed. It utilizes the robust image gradient direction features together with a variety of mapping functions and adopts a hierarchical sparse and low-rank regression model. This model unites the sparse representation in dictionary learning and the low-rank representation on the error term that is usually messy in the gradient domain. We call it the "weak low-rankness" optimization problem, which can be efficiently solved by the framework of Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM). The optimum of the error term has a similar weak low-rank structure as the reference error map and the recognition performance can be enhanced by leaps and bounds using weak low-rankness optimization. Extensive experiments are conducted on real-world disguise / occlusion data and synthesized contiguous occlusion data. These experiments show that the proposed gradient direction-based hierarchical adaptive sparse and low-rank (GD-HASLR) algorithm has the best performance compared to state-of-the-art methods, including popular convolutional neural network-based methods.

description: Context Acute pancreatitis can be triggered by a variety of factors ranging from short lasting to sustained disruptions. It is plausible that the characteristics and course of disease differ among etiologies. Data distinguishing characteristics of patients with pancreatitis of biliary, alcoholic, idiopathic or other origin are scarce and conflicting. Objective To compare patients' characteristics, baseline parameters on admission, and outcome in patients with an episode of acute pancreatitis in whom the etiology was thoroughly determined. Design Retrospective study. Setting Single center. Patients Three-hundreds and 91 consecutive episodes of acute pancreatitis through the years 2008 to 2011. Main outcome measures Gender, age, body mass index, Charlson comorbidity index, history of pancreatitis, heart rate, blood pressure, plasma lipase, hematocrit, plasma creatinine, white blood cell count, rate of persistent organ failure and necrosis, maximum C-reactive protein, duration of hospitalization, mortality. Results There were marked differences between the groups. Biliary etiology was associated with higher age and body weight, female predominance, higher plasma lipase, and a favourable outcome. Alcoholic etiology had male predominance, a tendency for initial hemoconcentration, a lower plasma lipase, and the highest rate of necrosis. Idiopathic etiology had the highest rate of persistent organ failure and the highest mortality. Conclusions Biliary, alcoholic and idiopathic acute pancreatitis should be treated as distinct entities. While alcoholic episodes have the highest risk of necrosis, the worst outcome was observed in the idiopathic group. Hence, finding no causality for an episode of acute pancreatitis after thorough investigation might be a predictor for poor outcome. Larger studies are warranted to confirm this.

description: Context Undifferentiated (spindle cell) carcinomas of the pancreas are rare anaplastic variants of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with a frequency of 2% of pancreatic exocrine tumors. Their clinicopathological features are limited and obtained by few previously case reports. We report a case of undifferentiated pancreatic carcinoma with a rare focal osteochondroid differentiation. Case report A sixty-six-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for abdominal pain and nonspecific nausea for almost 40 days. Imaging studies revealed a well-defined cystic–solid mass with heterogeneous density involving the tail of the pancreas. We performed an en bloc distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy for radical excision, as well as regional lymphadenectomy. The resected specimen revealed a 4.0×5.0 cm exophytic clear-bordered neoplasm of the tail of the pancreas containing necrotic and calcified areas, without splenic invasion. The lymph node involvement was not detected (0/5) and the surgical margins were negative. Microscopy showed pleomorphism with giant cells, spindle-shaped cells with anaplasia, and osteochondroid differentiation. A diagnosis of undifferentiated (spindle cell) carcinoma of the pancreas with focal osteochondroid differentiation was made. The patient declined chemotherapy and extended lymphadenectomy. She suffered from liver and lymph nodes metastasis 9 months after surgery, and she subsequently died 4 months later due to high tumor burden. Conclusions Undifferentiated pancreatic carcinoma with osteochondroid differentiation is rare but associated with extremely poor prognosis. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic mass lesions.

description: In this paper we propose a new method to assist in labeling data arriving from fast running processes using anomaly detection. A result is the possibility to manually classify data arriving at a high rates to train machine learning models. To circumvent the problem of not having a real ground truth we propose specific metrics for model selection and validation of the results.
 The use case is taken from the food packaging industry, where processes are affected by regular but short breakdowns causing interruptions in the production process. Fast production rates make it hard for machine operators to identify the source and thus the cause of the breakdown. Self learning assistance systems can help them finding the root cause of the problem and assist the machine operator in applying lasting solutions. These learning systems need to be trained to identify reoccurring problems using data analytics. Training is not easy as the process is too fast to be manually monitored to add specific classifications on the single data points.

description: 2006BC6621_jpg_l and 2006BC6622_jpg_l. The cross is one of the rare surviving pieces which give substance to descriptions in contemporary documentary sources of the sumptuous church furnishings of pre-Conquest England. The enamels are unique in Anglo-Saxon art and may have been made by an English goldsmith familiar with German work. A fragmentary and not totally legible inscription around the edge of the cross seems to list the relics of saints once contained in the cavity beneath the ivory figure of Christ. This ivory figure was temporarily removed in 1926 for the purpose of being photographed and cast. Beneath it, lying in a hollow cut in the wood approximately 8.5 cm long, 2 cm wide and 1 cm deep was a dried human finger (perhaps a female index finger) pointing downwards with its outer surface to the front. Despite Papal disapproval of the dismemberment of saints, a finger relic was by no means unusual in Anglo-Saxon England: King Athelstan bestowed one third of his extensive collection of relics to the monastery of St. Mary and St. Peter at Exeter in AD 932. The gift included a finger, purportedly that of Mary Magdalene. All these images are Â© V&A Images/Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
