description: Introduction: Thailand will become a complete aged society in 2021 and a super-aged society in 2030, resulting in a high proportion of older people. Living environments, especially at home, play an essential health determinant for the elders. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study evaluated 319 households in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province according to the standard of housing sanitation for elders and assessed biological contamination in food, water, and indoor air in the homes. Results: The housing assessment results revealed some issues that are necessary to be improved, i.e., the wet and dry areas in bathrooms were not separated (89.4%), there was no anti-slip sheet in the bathrooms (97.2%), and handrails were not suitably installed (92.8%). The proportion of coliform bacteria contamination in the samples of elderly hand, dish, spoon, cooked rice, side dish, and drinking water was 78.4%, 82.1%, 88.3%, 93.4%, and 97.5%, respectively. The average total bacteria count in bedrooms and kitchens was 110 CFU/m3 and 148 CFU/m3, respectively. The average total fungi count was 82 CFU/m3 in bedrooms and 92 CFU/m3 in kitchens. Most indoor air quality parameters complied with the standards. Conclusions: Significant health risks for the elderly workers while living at home were injuries due to slipping fall in the house, especially in the bathroom, as well as foodborne and waterborne diseases. The health risks should be communicated to the elders. Prevention of the risks should be performed by the cooperation of relevant government agencies and the older adults in the study area.

Deconfining phase transition in the 3D Georgi-Glashow model with finite Higgs-boson mass

description: The (2+1)D Georgi-Glashow model is explored at finite temperature in the regime when the Higgs boson is not infinitely heavy. The resulting Higgs-mediated interaction of monopoles leads to the appearance of a certain upper bound for the parameter of the weak-coupling approximation. Namely, when this bound is exceeded, the cumulant expansion used for the average over the Higgs field breaks down. The finite-temperature deconfining phase transition with the account for the same Higgs-mediated interaction of monopoles is further analysed. It is demonstrated that in the general case, accounting for this interaction leads to the existence of two distinct phase transitions separated by the temperature region where W-bosons exist in both, molecular and plasma, phases. The dependence of possible ranges of the critical temperatures corresponding to these phase transitions on the parameters of the Georgi-Glashow model is discussed. The difference in the RG behaviour of the fugacity of W-bosons from the respective behaviour of this quantity in the compact-QED limit of the model is finally pointed out.

title: High-temperature Sulfidic Attack on Carbon Steel and Select Alloys
Creators: name: Gunarathna, Madushan Dhammika
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Chemistry--Physical

description: In the oil and gas industry, H2S is a prevalent compound that arises from various geological processes (i.e., thermal and microbial sulfate reduction) and is also generated during some upgrading operations (i.e., hydrotreating). As such, immense efforts are taken not to release H2S into the environment during the exploitation of natural resources. In this context, the modified Claus process is the most widely used technology in sulfur recovery, whereby, across multiple thermal and catalytic stages, H2S gas is converted to elemental sulfur. While this is a mature technology, the waste heat boiler after the thermal reactor in the modified Claus process has a finite life. This is due to a corrosion phenomenon referred to as high-temperature sulfidic attack on the metal tubes providing thermal transfer from process gas to water/stream. However, there is a scarcity of kinetic models which can be used to predict corrosion rates under the aforementioned conditions, and the existing models are known to be unreliable. This research focuses on optimizing the method that is used to obtain steady-state corrosion rates. A custom-built furnace apparatus was used for these studies, and carbon steel coupons (ASTM A36) were used as the test material in the initial stages of this research. However, the use of coupons was discontinued and replaced by smaller metal spheres to increase accessible surface area. H2S concentrations ranging from 10 – 20 mol% were investigated, and some initial experiments probing the effect of H2O were also performed. Weight loss measurements using carbon steel spheres yielded a corrosion rate of 6.0 ± 0.3 mpy, while weight gain measurements (assuming FeS1.5) resulted in 5.1 ± 0.1 mpy. However, calculating the corrosion rate assuming FeS1.3 produced 5.9 ± 0.2 mpy, which is consistent with the weight loss method. In addition, preliminary thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) investigations were conducted utilizing carbon steel spheres with a 20 mol% H2S feed gas stream. Combined with a comparison of the techniques, the TGA method shows promise for future experiments. Finally, the compositions of the resultant corrosion scales were studied using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD).

description: We have used an NMR technique to measure the short-time, three-dimensional displacement of grains in a system of mustard seeds vibrated vertically at 15g. The technique averages over a time interval in which the grains move ballistically, giving a direct measurement of the granular temperature profile. The dense, lower portion of the sample is well described by a recent hydrodynamic theory for inelastic hard spheres. Near the free upper surface the mean free path is longer than the particle diameter and the hydrodynamic description fails.

description: MONTACUTIDAE  Montacutid sp.  (figures 99–102)
 Material examined. A single shell with partially damaged rv from Stn 34, Gravier, south-east Rodrigues, 19 ‡ 43.9 ’ S, 63 ‡ 28.9 ’ E. NMW.Z.2000.086.00014.
 Description. Shell 3.32 6 2.17 mm. Equivalve. Inequilateral, beaks close to the anterior margin. Outline elongate–subovate; anterior reduced, margin narrowly rounded; ventral and dorsal margins gently curved, oblique and subparallel; posterior broadly rounded. Small depressed lunule present. Sculpture smooth except for growth lines and faint radial striations which are most obvious under transmitted light. Hinge with prominent teeth in lv (figure 101), much weaker in rv (figure 102); small anterior tooth (at) at anterior end of lunule margin; remote posterior lateral tooth (pt) separated from beak by contiguous nymph. Internal resilium large, external ligament present on nymph. Inner margin smooth. Pallial line as a series of discontinuous scars. Shell white in colour.
 Remarks. This shell is distinctive and unusual for the Montacutidae in its strongly inequilateral outline. We have placed this shell in the Montacutidae because of the lack of true cardinal teeth and the presence of a large internal resilium. In outline it is similar to Thecodonta A. Adams, 1864, but the dentitions, as given in Chavan (1969), do not agree.

description: leaves are popularly used to treat asthma and diabetes. Despite the widespread consumption of this plant, there are few scientific studies regarding its toxicological potential. In order to conduct a thorough study concerning the potential adverse effects, the aim of this study was to assess acute and subacute toxicity tests of crude aqueous extract from C. pachystachya leaves (CAE-Cp) using in vivomodel, as well as in vitro cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and antioxidant activity. In addition, genotoxicity, and cytotoxicity of chlorogenic acid (CGA) and cytotoxicity of isoorientin (ISOO) were also evaluated. The antioxidant activity was verified by DPPH, cytotoxicity using sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and genotoxicity by comet assay on V79 cells. The phytochemical analysis of CAE-Cp detected flavonoids and tannins, CGA and ISOO as the major compounds utilizing HPLC. The total flavonoid content (6.52 mg/g EQ) and antioxidant activity (EC50 = 62.15 µg/ml) of CAE-Cp were determined. In vitro evaluations with CAE-Cp showed genotoxic effects at 0.31 to 2.5 mg/ml and an expressive cytotoxicity on HT-29 (IC50 = 4.43 µg/ml) cells. CGA was genotoxic against V79 cells at 0.07 mg/ml and cytotoxic against to HT-29 (IC50 = 71.70 µg/ml), OVCAR-3 (IC50 = 80.07 µg/ml), MCF-7 (IC50 = 45.58 µg/ml) and, NCI-H460 (IC50 = 71.89 µg/ml) cancer cell lines. Wistar rats treated with a single dose (2,000 mg/kg) CAE-Cp decreased hemoglobin levels after 14 days, although no significant toxicity was observed in animals after 28 days. In view of the in vitro cytotoxicity and genotoxicity detected, further studies are necessary to establish the safe use of CAE-Cp.

description: The Fermi energy, Ef of newly discovered high-Tc superconductor MgB2 and cuprates is estimated from the measured London penetration depth using a parameter-free expression. Ef of MgB2 and more than 30 lanthanum, yttrium and mercury-based cuprates appears to be about or below 100 meV, depending on doping. There is every evidence that the remarkable low value of Ef and the strong coupling of carriers with high-frequency phonons is the cause of high Tc in all newly discovered superconductors. Taking into account that the carriers mainly reside on oxygen in cuprates, on boron in magnesium diborade, and on carbon in doped fullerenes, these superconductors form what is essentially $nonadiabatic$ 'metallic' oxygen, boron and carbon, respectively. The boron isotope effect on the carrier mass in magnesium-diboride similar to the oxygen isotope effect on the supercarrier mass observed by Guo-meng Zhao et al. in cuprates is predicted.

description: Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer among women, accounting for about 4% of all cancers associated with women. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study based on extraction of cancer incidence data and cancer mortality rates from the Global Cancer Data in 2018. The incidence and mortality rates and ovarian cancer distribution maps were drawn for World countries. To analyze data, correlation test and regression tests were used to evaluate the correlation between its incidence and mortality with HDI. The results showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between ovarian cancer incidence (R = 0.409, P <0.0001) and mortality (R = 0.193, P <0.05) with HDI. The results showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between incidence with GNI ,MYS ,LEB and EYS ( P <0.0001). The results also demonstrated that there was a positive and significant correlation between mortality and GNI, MYS, LEB and EYS ( P <0.05).The linear regression model showed that a higher MYS [B = 0.2, CI95%: (- 0.03,0.5)] significantly increased the incidence of ovarian cancer and increased MYS [B = 0.2, CI95% (0.03, 0.4)] increased mortality. Given the positive and significant correlation between ovarian cancer incidence and mortality with HDI, attention to risk factors in these countries can be effective in curbing its incidence and mortality.

description: Introduction. Hand cleansing and disinfection is the most effi- cient method for reducing the rates of hospital-acquired infections which are a serious medical and economic problem. Striving to ensure the maximum safety of the therapeutic process, we decided to promote hand hygiene by implementing the educational pro- gram titled “Clean Care is a Safer Care”. The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the compliance with procedures related to the sanitary regime, including the frequency and accu- racy of hand decontamination by medical personnel. Objective. The objective of the study was to assess the useful- ness of the educational program titled “Clean Care is a Safer Care” as a tool for increasing compliance with hand hygiene principles. Methods. We monitored the compliance with the hygiene proce- dure before implementation of the program as well as during the hand hygiene campaign by means of direct observation as well as the disinfectant consumption rates. Results. In the initial self-assessment survey, the hospital had scored 270/500 points (54%). Preliminary audit revealed the hygiene compliance rate at the level of 49%. After broad-scaled educational efforts, the semi-annual audit revealed an increase in hand hygiene compliance rate up to 81% (hospital average) while the final audit carried out after one year of campaigning revealed a compliance rate of 77%. The final score for the hospi- tal increased to 435/500 points. Conclusions. COVID-19 pandemic dramatically increased accu- racy of proper hand hygiene procedures and consumption of dis- infectant agents. The educational program has succeeded to reach its goal; however, long-term educational efforts are required to maintain and improve the quality of provided services.

description: The epidemic of a novel coronavirus, named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is still gradually spreading worldwide. Real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, RT-PCR), run in biological samples, is the gold standard method for confirmation of infection. In Italy, two consecutive negative results in oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swabs allow patients’ discharging from the hospital or quarantine interruption. Since several recent studies reported false-negative swab results, we present a peculiar double negative case then become positive after a new contact with her boyfriend. Additionally, we discuss the risk derived from SARS-CoV-2 asymptomatic spreader’s confinement suspension.

description: An analysis of the $α$ + core properties of $^{104}$Te along with a global discussion on the $α$-cluster structure above the double-shell closures is presented from the viewpoint of the local potential model. The $α$ + core interaction is described by a nuclear potential of (1 + Gaussian)$\times$(W.S. + W.S.$^3$) shape with two free parameters, which has been successfully tested in nuclei of different mass regions. The model produces $Q_α$ values and $α$-decay half-lives for $^{104}$Te in agreement with the 2018 experimental data of Auranen et al. in the energy range $5.13 \; \mathrm{MeV} < Q_α < 5.3 \; \mathrm{MeV}$ using an $α$ preformation factor $P_α = 1$. The comparison of the calculated reduced $α$-widths for the ground state bands of $^{104}$Te, $^{94}$Mo and $^{212}$Po indicates that $^{104}$Te has an $α$-cluster degree significantly higher than $^{94}$Mo and much higher than $^{212}$Po. These results point to $^{104}$Te as a preferential nucleus for $α$-clustering in the $N,Z = 50$ region and corroborate the statement on the superallowed $α$-decay in $^{104}$Te.

description: The global spread of multidrug-resistant strains has prompted the scientific community to explore novel sources of chemicals with antimicrobial activity. The aim of the study was to examine the antimicrobial activity in vitro of 28 extracts against carbapenem-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, individually and in combination with antibiotics and in vivo toxicological assessment of the most active product. The multi-resistant K. pneumoniae strain was submitted for phenotypic and molecular characterization. The antibacterial activity of 28 plant extracts was evaluated alone and in combination with antibiotics against this strain through the agar disk diffusion. Of these, 16 extracts showed synergism against carbapenem-producing K. pneumoniae, being that B. crassifolia extract exhibited synergism with three antibiotics. Based on this assessment, B. crassifolia-extract-induced toxicity on Swiss male mice was evaluated by administering this extract and subsequently determining apoptosis and splenic phagocytosis using the comet and micronucleus assays. The results of this study showed that B. crassifolia extract had synergistic activity promising and groups treated with B. crassifolia exhibited no genotoxic or mutagenic activity, indicating that B. crassifolia extract exerted beneficial effects and appeared safe to use at the studied concentrations.

description: We study Fermi fields defined on tori in the presence of gauge backgrounds carrying non-trivial topology. We show that 2k dimensional field space can alternatively be described by fields over a k-dimensional space. This dual description is particularly natural when the background is uniform and abelian. The reduction in number of dimensions carries over to the lattice. The lattice ultraviolet regularization induces an infrared regularization of the lower dimensional representations. We focus on k=1,2.

description: Introduction. Microbiological quality of recreational environ- ments included restrooms, is generally assessed by water and surface monitoring. In this study, an environmental monitoring, conducted in spring, of swimming pool restrooms of a recreation center located in the Marche region has been carried out. Seven water samples and seven surface swabs were collected. Moreover, six air samples have been included. The aim of this study was to evaluate if air microbiological monitoring, along with molecular detection in real-time PCR, could give additional useful information about the hygienic conditions of the facility. Methods. Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) both at 22°C (psy- chrophilic) and 37°C (mesophilic) was determined by separate cultures in all samples. The presence of Legionella pneumophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated by both culture and real-time PCR. Results. The analysis of shower water recorded a HPC load of mesophilic bacteria (37°C) more than 10-fold higher in men restroom, respect to women’s one (> 100 vs < 10 CFU/ml), while in air samples was between < 100 and > 500. Concerning pathogen presence, both species Legionella pneumophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were detected only in men restroom, but in different sample types by using different methods (culture and real-time PCR). Conclusions. Air sampling may offer the advantage of giving more representative data about microbial presence in restrooms, including bacterial species transmitted through aerosol, like Legionella. Moreover, the concurrent use of molecular and micro- biological detection in an integrated approach could offer the advantage of greater sensitivity.

Symmetry in a space of conceptual variables

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A conceptual variable is any variable defined by a person or by a group of persons. Such variables may be inaccessible, meaning that they cannot be measured with arbitrary accuracy on the physical system under consideration at any given time. An example may be the spin vector of a particle; another example may be the vector (position, momentum). In this paper, a space of inaccessible conceptual variables is defined, and group actions are defined on this space. Accessible functions are then defined on the same space. Assuming this structure, the basic Hilbert space structure of quantum theory is derived: Operators on a Hilbert space corresponding to the accessible variables are introduced; when these operators have a discrete spectrum, a natural model reduction implies a new model in which the values of the accessible variables are the eigenvalues of the operator. The principle behind this model reduction demands that a group action may also be defined also on the accessible variables; this is possible if the corresponding functions are permissible, a term that is precisely defined. The following recent principle from statistics is assumed: every model reduction should be to an orbit or to a set of orbits of the group. From this derivation, a new interpretation of quantum theory is briefly discussed: I argue that a state vector may be interpreted as connected to a focused question posed to nature together with a definite answer to this question. Further discussion of these topics is provided in a recent book published by the author of this paper.

Reconstruction of asbestos exposure in cases of workers suffering from pleural neoplasms and employed in sectors not generally associated with high exposure levels: the importance of an accurate standardized assessment of occupational medicine.

description: Introduction Malignant pleural mesothelioma onset in workers exposed to asbestos is well known with reference to multiple working sectors. In some cases, occurring among workers of sectors characterized by a presumed lower relevance of asbestos exposure, the absence of a well-defined correlation can prevent their emergence and compensation. To improve definition of these cases, this article underlines the importance of a standardized approach to occupational anamnesis. Methods Thorough standardized occupational health assessment method application in a case of pleural malignant neoplasm occurred in a hauler, a job generally not associated with high levels of exposure to asbestos fibers. Results Assessment of malignant pleural mesothelioma diagnosis and dual mode relevantoccupational exposure to asbestos during both truck driving and loading and unloading operations of asbestos-containing goods. Conclusions Systematic occupational medicine assessment with accurate standardized approach is essential for reconstruction of asbestos exposure, in order to highlight every aspect useful to establish causal link between cases of pleural mesothelioma and possible occupational and non-occupational exposure to the mineral, even in cases where the first-level occupational history does not appear to be suggestive.

description: Many consumer products are manufactured or synthesized from chemicals. However, consumers may be hesitant to purchase consumer products that are perceived as synthetic or derived with chemical substances. Prior studies suggested a preference for chemicals of natural origin and an irrational fear of synthetic chemicals, a phenomenon that is referred to as chemophobia. The aim of this study was two-fold as follows: to (1) investigate the levels of knowledge with respect to toxicological principles, chemophobia, and trust in stakeholders in South Korea and (2) experimentally test the effect of information provision on acceptance and willingness-to-buy for the specific case of trace chemicals in consumer products. For this purpose, an online survey and experiment was conducted with consumers in South Korea. Data suggested that in South Korea chemophobia correlated with an individual’s knowledge regarding toxicological principles. Accordingly, a small intervention providing information on the dose-response mechanism increased consumers’ acceptance of the presence of trace chemicals and subsequent willingness to purchase the products in this study. In conclusion, this investigation stresses the importance of educating the public regarding basic principles of toxicology to avoid chemophobia, while simultaneously discussing other factors that need to be taken into account such as attitudes and trust in communicators.

description: We present a preliminary result for second moment of the light cone wave function of the pion. This parameter is the subject of a discrepancy between theoretical predictions (coming from lattice and sum rules) and a recent experimental result (that remarkably agrees with purely perturbative predictions). In this work we exploit lattice hypercubic symmetries to remove power divergences and, moreover, implement a full 1-loop matching for all the contributing operators.
