description: Apparatus and in vivo methods to distinguish normal and abnormal cervical tissue and to detect cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in a diagnostic cervical tissue sample. Induced fluorescence intensity spectra from known normal cervical tissue and a diagnostic tissue sample are obtained from the same patient. Peak fluorescence intensity values for normal tissue samples are averaged, as are slope measurements from predetermined portions of spectra induced in both known normal cervical tissue and the diagnostic tissue sample. Peak fluorescence intensities of diagnostic tissue spectra are divided by average peak fluorescence intensity values for normal tissue in the same patient to yield relative peak fluorescence intensity values. Normal and abnormal cervical tissues are distinguished using a predetermined empirical discriminant function of slope measurements derived from normal tissue spectra and relative peak fluorescence intensity measurements in the same patient. CIN is distinguished from tissue with human papilloma virus injection or inflammation using a predetermined empirical discriminant function of average slope measurements on spectra from known normal tissue and slope measurements on a diagnostic tissue spectrum.

description: Rapsöl oder Palmöl? Kaltgepresstes Rapsöl gilt als äusserst gesund und ideal für die kalte Küche. Es ist reich an ungesättigten Fettsäuren und weist zudem ein besonders günstiges Verhältnis von Omega-3- zu Omega-6-Fettsäuren auf. Neue sogenannte HOLL-Rapssorten eignen sich zum Braten und Frittieren. Wie unterscheiden sich verschiedene Speiseöle in der Qualität und in der Nachhaltigkeit? Solche Fragen diskutieren wir mit Ernährungs- und Landwirtschaftsfachleuten. Speziellen Einblick erhalten wir in die sozialen und ökologischen Folgen des Palmölanbaus. Wir gehen auch ganz allgemein der Frage nach, wie nachhaltig die Produktion von Schweizer Rapsöl im Vergleich zum umstrittenen Palmöl ist und ob Rapsöl oder andere Öle das Palmöl ersetzen können.

description: Methods and apparatus related to design and construction of lightweight and mobile railgun barrels having high L' (inductance per unit length). The barrels comprise stacked metallic annular laminations in combination with prestressed tension elements to add radial and longitudinal stiffness. Laminations have elongated annular shapes to accommodate a plurality of longitudinal rails within the barrel, and the lamination shape is optimized to contain radial forces (tending to spread the rails) associated with the launching of railgun projectiles. Longitudinal stiffness is obtained from tension elements spirally wound around the barrel at a preferred angle with the barrel longitudinal axis. Radial stiffness is obtained by injecting a settable plastic fluid between barrel laminations and internal (bore) components, the latter being held as a subassembly with a longitudinal shrink tube.

description: Background & aims The use of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in the hospital setting is important to reach individual protein and energy goals in patients at risk for malnutrition. Compliance with ONS can be challenging but may be improved by prescribing ONS in smaller portions with medication rounds (MEDPass). We compared the likelihood of meeting energy and protein requirements in patients receiving ONS with MEDPass versus conventional ONS administration. Methods The MEDPass Trial is a randomized, controlled, open-label superiority trial conducted on medical and geriatric wards in a University Hospital in Switzerland. The MEDPass group was allocated to receive 50 ml of ONS four times per day with the medication rounds. The control group received ONS per conventional care between the meals. The primary outcome was the percentage of energy in relation to the individual requirement. Secondary outcomes included the coverage of protein intake in relation to the individual requirement, the amount of daily consumed ONS, the course of handgrip strength (HGS), body weight appetite and nausea. Furthermore, we compared 30-day mortality and hospital length of stay (LOS) was studied in medical patients. Results From November 22nd, 2018 until November 30th, 2021, 204 patients were included in the trial (MEDPass group n = 100, control group n = 104). A total of 203 patients at nutritional risk were analyzed in the intention-to-treat analysis (ITT). Regarding the primary endpoint, there was no difference in the coverage of energy requirement between the MEDPass and control group (82 vs. 85% (Δ −3%, 95%CI -11 to 4%), p = 0.38). Similarly, no differences were found for the secondary outcomes including coverage of protein requirement (101 vs. 104% (Δ −3%, 95% CI -12 -7%), p = 0.57, average daily intake of ONS (170 vs 173 ml (Δ – 3 ml, 95% CI -14 to 8 ml), p = 0.58) and 30-day mortality (3 vs. 8 patients, OR 0.4 (95% CI 0.1–1.4), p = 0.15). The course of HGS, body weight, appetite and nausea did not differ between the groups (p = 0.29, p = 0.14, p = 0.65 and p = 0.94, respectively). The per protocol analysis including 178 patients showed similar results. Conclusion Within this controlled trial setting, we found a high compliance for ONS intake and high coverage of protein requirements but no further improvement when ONS was administered using MEDPass compared to conventional care. MEDPass administration may provide an alternative that is easy to integrate into nursing routines, which may lead to lower workload with cost benefits and reduction of food waste.

description: Methods and apparatus to reduce wear on surfaces in sliding contact by inducing vibratory movement in one or more of the surfaces. The movement is substantially perpendicular to a plane of contact between the surfaces and substantially nonuniform across the area of contact. The nonuniform vibratory motion of one surface with respect to another results in small rotational vibration of one surface with respect to another even as contact is maintained between the surfaces. Rotational motions tend to decrease surface wear due to thermal mounding by moving the zone of actual contact with time; rotational motions also open temporary gaps between the surfaces which allow the escape of wear particles, thus decreasing subsequent abrasive wear. The invention may be applied to sliding electrical contacts, either linear or rotating, and to sliding frictional contacts, as in brakes and clutches. Application of the invention reduces wear on electrical contacts while maintaining electrical continuity, and reduces wear on brake system components without substantially reducing effective braking force.

description: A method of preventing adhesions by topical administration of fibrinolysis enhancing agents is described. The method uses a topically applied polymeric matrix for delivery of a fibrinolyic agent, preferably urokinase, or tPA. In the most preferred embodiment, the matrix is extremely thin and is polymerized in situ to form a biodegradable polymeric matrix. The matrix provides controlled release of the agent over a period of time effective to prevent surgical adhesions and is biodegradable, usually within the same time frame. Examples demonstrate that the combination of the matrix and the urokinase or tPA is effective in preventing surgical adhesions.

description: Antide is the decapeptide, N--Ac--D--2--Nal,D--pClPhe, D--3--Pal, Ser,NicLys, D--NicLys, Leu, ILys, Pro, D--Ala,NH.sub.2 which is an antagonist of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH). This decapeptide, like others of the present invention, has high antiovulatory activity (AOA) and releases negligible histamine. Antide is scheduled for scale-up, safety testing and evaluation in the experimental primate and in clinical medicine. Numerous other peptides having structures related to Antide were prepared and tested. These peptides had variations primarily in positions 5, 6, 7, and 8. Of these, N--Ac--D--2--Nal, D--pClPhe,D--3--Pal,Ser,PicLys,cis--DpzACAla, Leu,ILys,pro,D--Ala--NH.sub.2 was one of the most potent and had higher antiovulatory activity than Antide, i.e. 73%/0.25 ug and 100%/0.5 ug vs. 36%/0.5 ug and 100%/1.0 ug. Antide showed significant, (p<0.001) duration of action, when injected at a dose of 10 ug, 44 hours before 50 ng of the agonist, [D--3--Qal.sup.6 ]--LHRH. Antide showed oral AOA at 600 ug (73%) and at 1200 ug (100%) with negligible difference being found between water and corn oil oral formulations.

description:  The present invention involves a novel tripyrrole dimethine-derived "expanded porphyrin" (texaphyrin), the synthesis of such compounds, their analogs or derivatives and their uses. These expanded porphyrin-like macrocycles are efficient chelators of divalent and trivalent metal ions. Metal complexes of these compounds are active as photosensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen and thus potentially for inactivation or destruction of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), mononuclear or other cells infected with such virus and tumor cells as well. A variety of texaphyrin derivatives have been produced and many more are readily obtainable. Various metal (e.g., transition, main group, and lanthanide) complexes with the texaphyrin and texaphyrin derivatives of the present invention have unusual water solubility and stability which render them particularly useful. These metallotexaphyrin complexes have optical properties making them unique as compared to existing porphyrin-like or other macrocycles. For example, they absorb light strongly in a physiologically important region (i.e. 690-880 nm). These complexes also form long-lived triplet states in high yield and act as efficient photosensitizers for the formation of singlet oxygen. These properties, coupled with their high chemical stability and appreciable solubility in polar media such as water, add to their usefulness.

description: Hydrogels of polymerized and crosslinked macromers comprising hydrophilic oligomers having biodegradable monomeric or oligomeric extensions, which biodegradable extensions are terminated on free ends with end cap monomers or oligomers capable of polymerization and cross linking are described. The hydrophilic core itself may be degradable, thus combining the core and extension functions. Macromers are polymerized using free radical initiators under the influence of long wavelength ultraviolet light, visible light excitation or thermal energy. Biodegradation occurs at the linkages within the extension oligomers and results in fragments which are non-toxic and easily removed from the body. Preferred applications for the hydrogels include prevention of adhesion formation after surgical procedures, controlled release of drugs and other bioactive species, temporary protection or separation of tissue surfaces, adhering of sealing tissues together, and preventing the attachment of cells to tissue surfaces.

description: Described herein is a multi-functional polymeric material for use in inhibiting adhesion and immune recognition between cells and cells, cells and tissues, and tissues and tissues. One component of the polymeric material adsorbs well to cells or tissue, and the other component of the polymeric material does not adsorb well to tissues. A water-soluble polymer that does not bear charge (polynonion) is used as the non-binding component, and a water soluble polymer that is positively charged at physiological pH (polycation) is used as the tissue binding component. When the bi-functional polymeric material contacts a tissue, the tissue-binding component binds and thus immobilizes the attached non-binding component, which will then extend generally away from the tissue surface and sterically block the attachment of other tissues. The method and compositions are useful in inhibiting formation of post-surgical adhesions, protecting damaged blood vessels from thrombosis and restenosis, and decreasing the extent of metastasis of attachment-dependent tumor cells.

description: The present invention involves water soluble hydroxy-substituted texaphyrins retaining lipophilicity, the synthesis of such compounds and their uses. These expanded porphyrin-like macrocycles are efficient chelators of divalent and trivalent metal ions. Various metal (e.g., transition, main group, and lanthanide) complexes of the hydroxy-substituted texaphyrin derivatives of the present invention have unusual water solubility and stability. They absorb light strongly in a physiologically important region (i.e. 690-880 nm). They have enhanced relaxivity and therefore are useful in magnetic resonance imaging. They form long-lived triplet states in high yield and act as photosensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen. Thus, they are useful for inactivation or destruction of enveloped viruses, mononuclear or other cells infected with such viruses as well as tumor cells. They are water soluble, yet they retain sufficient lipophilicity so as to have greater affinity for lipid rich areas such as atheroma and tumors. They may be used for magnetic resonance imaging followed by photodynamic tumor therapy in the treatment of atheroma and tumors. These properties, coupled with their high chemical stability and appreciable solubility in water, add to their usefulness.

description: Class C fly ash containing cementitious mixtures for producing concretes that are resistant to sulfate-containing environments. Class C fly ash is intergound with portland cement clinker and gypsum to produce a cementitions mixture, which, when combined with water and an aggregate produces a hardened concrete that is resistant to sulfate environments. Alternatively, portland cement clinker and gypsum are first interground and the resultant mixture is admixed with Class C fly ash to produce a cementitious mixture. This cementitious mixture, in combination with water and an aggregate, produces a hardened concrete that has improved resistance to sulfate environments. In other aspects, a concrete that is stable in sulfate environments is produced by admixing portland cement, Class C fly ash and water containing a source of ions selected from the group consisting of sulfate and hydroxyl anions. The resultant concrete is capable of hardening in sulfate environments without the formation of such quantities of volume-expanding compositions in the hardened concrete as would cause the hardened concrete to undergo stress failure.

description:  The present invention involves a novel tripyrrole dimethine-derived "expanded porphyrin" (texaphyrin), the synthesis of such compounds, their analogs or derivatives and their uses. These expanded porphyrin-like macrocycles are efficient chelators of divalent and trivalent metal ions. Metal complexes of these compounds are active as photosensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen and thus potentially for inactivation or destruction of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), mononuclear or other cells infected with such virus and tumor cells as well. A variety of texaphyrin derivatives have been produced and many more are readily obtainable. Various metal (e.g., transition, main group, and lanthanide) complexes with the texaphyrin and texaphyrin derivatives of the present invention have unusual water solubility and stability which render them particularly useful. These metallotexaphyrin complexes have optical properties making them unique as compared to existing porphyrin-like or other macrocycles. For example, they absorb light strongly in a physiologically important region (i.e. 690-880 nm). These complexes also form long-lived triplet states in high yield and act as efficient photosensitizers for the formation of singlet oxygen. These properties, coupled with their high chemical stability and appreciable solubility in polar media such as water, add to their usefulness.

description: Texaphyrin metal complexes having improved functionalization include the addition of electron-donating groups to positions 2, 7, 12, 15, 18 and/or 21 and/or the addition of electron-withdrawing groups to positions 15 and/or 18 of the macrocycle. Electron-donating groups at positions 2, 7, 12, 15, 18 and/or 21 contribute electrons to the aromatic .pi. system of the macrocycle which stabilizes the metal complex to demetallation and the imine bonds to hydrolysis. The addition of substituents to the 12 and 21 positions of the macrocycle offer steric protection for the imine bonds against possible in vivo enzyme hydrolysis. Electron-withdrawing groups at positions 15 and/or 18 render the macrocycle more readily reduced, i.e. the redox potential is lower and the macrocycle more readily gains an electron to form a radical. Such texaphyrins having a low redox potential and imine bond stabilization are useful in a variety of applications.

description: The present invention is directed to the synthesis and use of novel macrocyclic compounds, based upon a new class of expanded porphyrins, termed rubyrins. Disclosed herein is the structure and synthesis of a prototypical rubyrin and various substituted rubyrin analogues, conjugates and compositions. Rubyrin itself is characterized by the presence of six pyrrolic subunits contained within a fully aromatic 26 .pi.-electron macrocyclic framework and by UV/VIS absorption bands that are very red-shifted as compared to those of other porphyrins or pentapyrrolic expanded porphyrins. The rubyrin-type class of compounds is further characterized by an ability to undergo facile protonation at the pyrrolic nitrogens and, once protonated, by an ability to form complexes with anions such as nucleotide-containing compounds. Rubyrin-based compounds are useful as, for example, anion chelators and receptors and as transporters for various anionic compounds including antiviral agents. In addition to the 26 .pi.-electron target system, the present invention concerns other oxidation states bearing the same connectivity and the same total number of non-hydrogen atoms, and various analogues in which different substituents are present at the various meso and/or .beta.-pyrrolic positions or in which furan and/or thiophene moieties replace one or more of the six pyrrolic subunits.

description: We investigate the role of financial constraints for product market competition in a general equilibrium model, where firms may differ in terms of own wealth and/or efficiency. We find that, in general, the amelioration of financial constraints increases competition (it lowers the Lerner index of markups) in financially dependent sectors even when other standard concentration indexes indicate otherwise. Our analysis implies that disruptions in financial markets – such as the recent financial crisis – may have adverse effects on competition in product markets, a cost that has not been identified before.
Gender equality and parental leave policies in Switzerland: A discursive and feminist perspective
Creators: name: Lanfranconi, Lucia
name: Valarino, Isabel
Publisher: name: Sage
Year: 2014

description: Taking a discursive and feminist perspective, this paper aims to understand policy changes as well as gendered outcomes in two policy areas within the Swiss welfare state: gender equality and parental leave policies. We conduct a discourse analysis from a social science perspective of policy documents and interviews from 1996 to 2011. Our results show similar discourses concerning welfare responsibility between the two case studies. Specifically, there are opposing state- and economic-oriented discourses, which reveal different gendered assumptions. However, the time period under study shows an increasing mobilisation of discourses arguing for non-state, negotiated solutions between social partners or within work organisations. We discuss the potential risks of gender and class inequalities as well as scenarios for further policy change. Our findings call for an integrative approach to discourse and gender for welfare state analysis in general.

description: Dans le massif du Jura franco-suisse, région périphérique et plutôt défavorisée du point de vue pédoclimatique, promouvoir une production laitière rentable est un objectif prioritaire. Cette communication présente l’adaptation d’un outil de conseil en élevage laitier aux régions du Jura et du Jura bernois en Suisse. Cet outil de conseil innovant permettant d'améliorer le revenu des exploitations laitières a été créé en France en 2011 par la Chambre Interdépartementale d'Agriculture du Doubs et Territoire de Belfort. Sous l'égide du programme Interreg, cet outil a été adapté au contexte propre des régions étudiées en Suisse. La méthode utilisée repose sur la réalisation d'enquêtes dans un échantillon représentatif (n = 64 exploitations) portant sur les pratiques agricoles, le milieu naturel et les résultats économiques. Une analyse des données a permis de mettre en évidence les facteurs expliquant le mieux les pratiques agricoles et les caractéristiques des exploitations. Une hiérarchie reliant ces facteurs et la rentabilité économique des exploitations est à l'origine de l'élaboration d'une typologie. Les facteurs mis en évidence en Suisse tels que les productions laitière et fourragère sont bien différents de ceux identifiés en France. La spécificité Interreg du projet s’avère être un très bon moteur en matière de recherche et développement et permet des échanges transfrontaliers de connaissances. Les résultats mis en avant dans cette étude encouragent à engager un travail spécifique à l'interface entre la production fourragère et sa valorisation par l'animal.
