description: In this study, two-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis was carried out to model simply supported curved-soffit reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with CFRP sheets. Five models of simply-supported RC (curved and flat) soffit beams were loaded monotonically with one incremental concentrated load up to failure. The beams were simulated to obtain the load versus mid-span deflection, failure load, and failure mode, in order to understand the influence of concavity on the performance of this type of structural member. Five experimental beams were considered in this study. All models had an identical cross-sectional area and effective span similar to those of the experimental beams. The curvature of the curved-soffit beams adopted was 20 mm per metre. The results show that curvature of 20 mm per metre reduces the efficiency of FRP strengthening by 17.8%, and beams experience premature CFRP de-bonding due to the high concentration of tensile stresses generated by the induced curvature. Interfacial cracks followed by de-bonding are the dominant failure mode. The peak load, crack patterns and load-displacement curves of the experimental tests were simulated accurately using a nonlinear FE prediction models.

description: Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) has become one of the most significant methods of strengthening which can be used for enhancing the capacity of structural elements. However, extensive research has shown that the effectiveness of such strengthening systems is highly dependent on the bond properties between the CFRP composite and the concrete. Therefore, failure of strengthened systems is usually governed by the debonding of the CFRP composite. To mitigate this type of failure, a variety of anchorage systems can be used to prevent CFRP debonding. Recent studies have shown the efficiency of patch anchors, which increase the load capacity and ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) members subjected to shear and flexural actions. This paper presents a 2-D finite element model in order to study the efficiency of patch anchors in anchoring RC slabs subjected to flexural loads.

description: Alkali-activated cements are rather new binders that are produced by the activation of pozzolans with different alkali solutions. The utilization of these types of materials might solve an important ecological problem in terms of the use of an industrial sub product. Among the precursor materials used, blast furnace slag (BFS) and fly ash (FA) has been prominent ones because of their favorable chemistry. Turkey is rich in natural pozzolans and has extensive deposits of pumice. Pumice may contain up to 75% SiO2 and has a high pozzolanic activity. There are limited numbers of studies about using pumice powder (PP) as a binder in alkali activated mortars. In this study, alkali activated mortars were produced with using different amount of BFS, FA and PP. The mortar mixture proportions were 1:2.5:0.5 by weight of binder, sand and water respectively. BFS to binder ratio was kept constant as 0.5. PP was replaced with FA by 10, 20 and 30% by weight. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was chosen as the alkaline activator. Compressive strength development, physical properties and abrasion resistance of mortars were determined. Compressive strength increased with the increase in PP ratio and NaOH amount. Physical properties did not change considerably. Abrasive resistance improved by increase in the NaOH amount.

description: Punching shear failure is a typical failure mode for flat reinforced concrete (RC) slabs and develops in a brittle manner and with little warning. To avoid this type of failure, the punching shear capacity of slabs needs to be carefully considered in the design process and adequate punching shear reinforcement provided. Many existing slabs are required to take increased loading which exceeds their original load ratings due to changes of use. These require strengthening in punching shear to safely carry the increased loading requirements. In this paper, L CFRP laminates are explored for shear strengthening of RC flat slabs. FRP laminates were inserted vertically through predrilled holes in the slabs to act as shear reinforcement. Four tests were carried out on large scale specimens representing internal slab-column connections. All the slabs had the same dimensions of 2300mmx2300mmx200mm. One slab, without strengthening, served as a control slab while the other three slabs were each strengthened with a different shear strengthening configuration. The behavior of the strengthened slabs was assessed in terms of failure load, FRP strain and failure mode. The experimental results confirm that using L CFRP laminates approximately doubles the shear capacity of a strengthened slab compared to the control slab. The dominant failure for the strengthened slabs was punching shear outside the shear reinforced zone. The maximum strain of FRP laminates achieved from the strengthening method was more than 5000 microstrain prior to the failure.

description: The conventional criteria for predictive model selection do not indicate the absolute goodness of models. For example, the quantity of Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) has meanings only when we compare AIC of different models for a given amount of data. Thus, the existing criteria do not tell us whether the quantity and quality of data is satisfactory, and hence we cannot judge whether we should collect more data to further improve the model or not. To solve such a practical problem, we propose a criterion RD that lies between 0 and 1. RD is an asymptotic estimate of the proportion of improvement in the predictive ability under a given error structure, where the predictive ability is defined by the expected logarithmic probability by which the next dataset (2nd dataset) occurs under a model constructed from the current dataset (1st dataset). That is, the predictive ability is defined by the expected logarithmic probability of the 2nd dataset evaluated at the model constructed from the 1st dataset. Appropriate choice of error structures is important in the calculation of RD. We illustrate examples of calculations of RD by using a small dataset about the moth abundance.

description: The chemical industry is pushed by public opinion and brand owners to a more sustainable resource utilization such as changing from fossil feedstocks to biomass which is a renewable resource. The major component of biomass are polysaccharides, so to drive the competitive utilization of (2nd generation) polysaccharides towards non-food applications and thereby creating biorefinery supply chains it is essential that all (side-)products are valorized at maximal added value. Nowadays biobased building materials are used in various fields and for a wide range of applications such as polymers, fillers, coatings, adhesives, impregnation materials or high performance composites. This work focuses on humins, a biomacromolecular by-product of a FDCA biorefinery. Humins are obtained by acidic treatment of polysaccharides and show very interesting potential as a reactive, semi-ductile thermoset matrix to impregnate cellulosic fibers. These encouraging results assure an important future for humins as economic green matrix for the production of textile composite and wood impregnation for instances.

description: Between the end of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, the city of Siena experienced elevated tuberculosis-related morbidity and mortality, to the point that on January 1, 1929 the newspaper La Nazione wrote that “Siena ranks second in the official TB incidence rate”. The author presents statistical data relating to a time span ranging from 1898 to 1935, interpreting them in light of social and sanitary conditions found in the city. The result is an exhaustive picture of the most important actions implemented at city level to prevent tuberculosis and to assist and treat the sick, such as: the creation of seaside hospices conceived by Carlo Livi for children suffering from scrofula, as well as centers committed to the prevention of childhood poverty and malnutrition; the realization of activities in the green areas of the ramparts of the Fortress, upon recommendation by great hygienist Achille Sclavo; the establishment of a Preventorium on the premises of the Monastery of Santa Maria Maddalena to accommodate children from families that included pulmonary tuberculosis patients, and countless activities carried out by the Anti-TB Dispensary. Of particular interest is the identification of the main cause of high TB incidence in the unsanitary homes located in some sections of Siena’s district, which, in 1930 engendered a lively debate hinging upon the notion of building restoration.

description: Tuberculosis (TB) and humans have coexisted for more than 40,000 years. The word "tuberculosis" derives from "tubercle", the histological lesion which appears in the organs, described by Pott in the late Eighteenth century and found, by molecular biology, in human skeletons dating back to 5000 BC. Early description of TB can be found in the writings of ancient India and China and in the Bible. In ancient Greece tuberculosis was not considered contagious, but Aristotle recognized the contagious nature of the pig's and ox's scrofula. The suspicion that phthisis is a contagious disease and that isolation can reduce the risk of transmission was expressed for the first time by the Arabian Avicenna, in his work “The canon of medicine”. In 1699, the Health Council of the Republic of Lucca founded the "sanatorium" concept as place of care and isolation. In 1865 Villemain inoculated tubercular material from a human lymph node into a rabbit, obtaining for the first time the typical tubercular lesions. Some years later, on March 24, 1882, Robert Koch announced to the Berlin Society of Physiology the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In the same period Virchow improved awareness of risk factors and correct behaviours among the general population. In 1952 Waksman won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the first active drug against TB: streptomycin. Nevertheless, drug resistance appeared rapidly some years later and it is still a great challenge in TB fight nowadays.

description: Tuberculosis (TB) has been one of the most important infectious diseases affecting mankind and still represents a plague on a global scale. In this narrative review, the origins of tuberculosis are outlined, according to the evidence of paleopathology. In particular, the first cases of human TB in ancient skeletal remains are presented, together with the most recent discoveries resulting from the paleomicrobiology of the tubercle bacillus, which provide innovative information on the history of TB. The paleopathological evidence of TB attests the presence of the disease starting from Neolithic times. Traditionally, it was thought that TB has a zoonotic origin, being acquired by humans from cattle during the Neolithic revolution. However, the biomolecular studies proposed a new evolutionary scenario demonstrating that human TB has a human origin. The researches show that the disease was present in the early human populations of Africa at least 70000 years ago and that it expanded following the migrations of Homo sapiens out of Africa, adapting to the different human groups. The demographic success of TB during the Neolithic period was due to the growth of density and size of the human host population, and not the zoonotic transfer from cattle, as previously hypothesized. These data demonstrate long coevolution of the disease and its human host. Understanding the changes of TB through time thanks to the advances in the field of paleopathology can help to solve the problems of the present and understand the future evolution of TB.

description: Tuberculosis is a serious respiratory infectious disease, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. It has always represented a permanent, serious public health challenge over the course of human history, because of its severe epidemiological, clinical and societal implications. The present review aims at over-viewing the contributions of the Iranian medicine to the control, management and treatment of tuberculosis, from the glorious past of the eighty-ninth centuries to the present, from Ali Abu al-Hasan Ahmad ibn Sahl-e Rabban al-Tabari to Rhazes, Avicenna, Jorjani and Abolhassan Ziyā-Zarifi. However, despite the efforts, tuberculosis and, in particular, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis still represents a great public health concern in Iran. On the other hand, this country can capitalize on its millennial, incredibly rich story of major achievements in the battle against tuberculosis to develop and implement ad hoc public health programs for the control of the disorder, including targeted and specialized interventions.

description: Tuberculosis is a very serious respiratory infectious disease, caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which generates a relevant societal and clinical burden. It has always represented a permanent concern and a public health challenge over the course of human history, because of its severe epidemiological, and economic-financial implications. The present review aims at over-viewing the impact on tuberculosis on the Israeli healthcare system, its temporal trend and evolution, stratified according to ethnicities and minorities, the need of establishing new facilities and implementing screening techniques, public health strategies and diagnostic tests, following massive immigration waves from countries characterized by a high incidence rate of tuberculosis during the fifties-sixties until the nineties, and the policies implemented by the Israeli government in the control, management and treatment of tuberculosis, as well as the role played by Israeli prominent scientists in discovering new druggable targets and finding bioactive compounds and bio-molecules in the fight against tuberculosis. Israel represents a unique, living laboratory in which features of developed and developing countries mix together. This country as a case-study of immigrant, pluralistic society underlines the importance of adopting a culturally-sensitive community intervention approach. The understanding of the subtle interplay between race/ethnic host and pathogen factors, including the role of gene variations and polymorphisms can pave the way for a personalized treatment and management of tuberculosis patients, contributing to the development of new tools for targeted tuberculosis therapeutics, immunodiagnostics and vaccination products.

description: 人们早已知道，在免疫系统对抗肿瘤或者病毒感染的细胞以及某些微生物的天然防御中，自然杀伤细胞（Natural Killer Cells，NK细胞）发挥着重要的作用。然而，NK细胞的细胞谱系一直未被阐明。本工作借助于骨髓细胞培养，研究了骨髓中的前体细胞，它们通过白细胞介素-2（Interleukin-2，IL-2）的活化（刺激产生NK杀伤活性）能够分化成为NK细胞。原来，这些来自骨髓的NK前体细胞的增殖依赖于髓细胞的生长因子：粒细胞-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子（granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor，GM-CSF）或者集落刺激因子-1（colony-stimulating factor-1, CSF-1，也就是巨噬细胞集落刺激因子）。将这些NK前体细胞单独地与CSF-1或者PMA（Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate，佛波酯）进行培养，在较短时间内（24-72小时）这些前体细胞发育成为典型的成熟巨噬细胞。因此，这些骨髓中的前体细胞——其有能力分化成为NK细胞——被鉴定为巨噬细胞前体（Macrophage Precursors）。 白细胞介素-2是影响骨髓巨噬细胞前体朝着NK细胞方向分化的决定性因子。在与白细胞介素-2培养时，这些巨噬细胞前体能够在3-6天内首先发育成为典型的NK细胞，然后成为它们进一步的活化形式LAK细胞（lymphokine-activated killer cells，淋巴因子活化后的杀伤细胞）。细胞的类型通过形态、表型与功能的研究得以确认。 来自本工作的实验结果表明：NK/LAK细胞可能来自巨噬细胞系。

description: Macrovascular aging is not only a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but also closely related to the disorders of various organs. Yet, little is known about the heterogeneity of aging in various arteries and veins, various constituent cells, as well as key regulatory elements of aging in macrovascular. Here, we generate a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of aging of the major arteries and veins in mouse and human. We profile 305,164 cells from 4 major veins and arteries at 7 life stages of mouse, 172,055 cells from 2 major veins and arteries across the course of the human lifespan, and identified the conserved and species-specific transcriptional programs. We discovered variances in gene expression between different vessel types and age-related alterations in the cellular composition. We identify subpopulations of key cell types and identified a group of cells related to aging. Gene network analyses characterize transcriptional landmarks that regulate vascular aging show their prominence in vascular aging in mouse and human. Our study provides a critical resource for understanding macrovascular aging and contributes important clues to future treatment of age-associated vascular disorders.

Sample processing: Macrovascular isolated then enzymatic digestion, single-cell RNA-seq libraries were prepared using 10X Genomics Chromium NextGEM 3' v3.1 kit.

Knowledge exploration in a franchise network as exemplified by advisory services
Creators: name: Komańda, Marcin
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2014
Subjects: Economics

description: Although the franchise network has been known for more than a century, in the last twenty/thirty years a rapid growth has been observed in terms of the number of newly established systems of this kind. The observation merits attention since franchise networks appear also in these fields of business, in which they had so far been regarded as unattractive for this kind of economic cooperation between enterprises. Meanwhile, contemporary tendencies in the shaping of principles of cooperation between franchise partners point also at popularization of particular regulations governing its operations, which make the whole system diverse when compared to traditional networks of this kind. The implementation of novel solutions within the scope of acquiring knowledge about environment may be pointed at in this respect.

description: Background: The cell survival in tumors is heterogeneous and includes PI3 kinase/AKT, JAK/SRC, and NFkB pathways. The contributions of these pathways in MEN-related tumors and the differential expression in pheochromocytomas and medullary thyroid carcinomas remain unknown.
Design: We selected small (1-2cm) familial (MEN2A and MEN2B) pheochromocytomas (PCC, 29) and medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC, 35), diagnosed and classified according to WHO criteria. We analyzed in a low-density selective cDNA array (LDSelGEA): BCL2, CCND1, FN1, F13A, JUN, MMP7 (matrilysin), MYC (PI3 Kinase
/ AKT Pathway): BCL2, BCL2L1 (Jak / Src Pathway): BCL2A1 (Bfl-1/A1), BIRC2 (c-IAP2), BIRC3 (c-IAP1), NAIP (BIRC1), TERT (NFκB Pathway); and CXCL12, CXCR4 (basic regulators of stem cell phenotype). Total RNA was extracted, cleaned from normal and neoplastic tissues (RNeasy columns), first-strand cDNA synthesized
using T7-(dT24)-oligomer and used as template for cRNA synthesis. The cRNA was fragmented, Cy3-/Cy5-labeled, and hybridized to LD-SelGEA noncompetitively, crossvalidating the results (expression factor>2, significance<0.01). Variables were studied regarding the histological diagnosis and the familial syndrome (MEN2A/MEN2B). Significant variables were then tested on tissue sections by immunohistochemistry.
Results: Statistical significant differences (expression factor>2 at least) were observed for CCND1 (cyclin D1 – up-regulated in MTC), FN1 (fibronectin – up-regulated in MTC), CXCL12/CXCR4 (up-regulated in MTC), and F13A (coagulation factor XIIIA – up-regulated in PCC). All other genes showed no statistically significant differences
by histological subtypes and no significant differences were observed for each diagnostic group by the DNA genotype (MEN2A vs. MEN2B).
Conclusions: Cell survival is differentially promoted in MEN2 thyroid and adrenal medullary neoplasm: (a) MTC cell survival depends on the PI3 kinase/AKT pathways (cyclin D1, fibronectin) and basic regulators of stem cell phenotype (CXCL12/CXCR4). (b) PCC tumor cell promotion is mainly dependent on the vascular supply and the role coagulation factor XIII A subunit. The cell survival mechanism is independent of the familial genotype.

description: The proponents of this eLearning-Kit are currently the members of the “Consortium for the European Network for Cultural Heritage Tourism”, coordinated by X23 Ltd. (Italy, Coordinator G. Laquidara PhD, M. Mazzi Boém), co-financed by the European Union, DG Industry&Enterprise — 44/G/ENT/PPA/12/6460. The initiative is achieving a considerable success, given its particular combination of pan-European cultural aspects, strongly developing the principles of European “Unitarity”, “Identity”, "Differences and Commonalities".
The efficient use of local resources and capabilities, the acute “short/long-clustering” capabilities across European g-local areas heretofore un-correlated, the extension of a consistent Network of Networks [NNs] through the use of Theory of Networks Dynamics criteria, the use of disruptive technological innovation such as data-clustering, machine-learning, and urgent computation, the triple-helix methodology bringing together local communities, gorvernment bodies, academics and industrial/private entities, the sustainable way of growth (through the PRISM2 scheme), are securing the EUHeritageTOUR something "extra” if related to other similar initiatives in the past. The rest of the Consortium includes:
the EUROPEANA Foundation (NL) and its European network;
the Tourist office of Alentejo (P);
Quaternaire Portugal (P);
The Tourist office of Cyprus (CY);
The City of Graz (A).
