Control of buffalo fly ( Haematobia irritans exigua de Meijere) on dairy and beef cattle using traps (1995)

The design and testing of traps are described for control of the buffalo fly Haematobia irritans exigua on dairy and beef cattle in Australia. The initial design, for use on milking cows, consisted of a translucent, plastic-covered tunnel, with compartments separated by plastic partitions and doorways with black shade-cloth curtains. The curtains brushed flies off the cattle as they passed through the tunnel. The flies were attracted to the light and ascended the walls to be confined in the dome-shaped roof. The traps removed 80% of the flies each time the cattle passed through them. During farm trials in 1990-91, fly numbers (8) on milking cows were reduced by 85% compared with those (94) on other cattle on the same farm, and by 65% compared with neighbouring milking cows (30), which received an average of three pesticide treatments. Breeding of buffalo fly was reduced by 81% on the pastures grazed by milking cattle using the traps. In 1992 and 1993, a smaller portable trap was developed for use by all types of cattle. Replacement of the shade-cloth curtains with brushes and addition of a translucent false ceiling increased the efficiency of the trap from 80 to 90%. The traps achieved 90% control on five dairy and two beef properties compared with cattle given traditional pesticide treatments. The results demonstrate the feasibility of controlling Haematobia without insecticides, by using a simple, sustainable and environmentally friendly trap, provided that cattle use the traps regularly.
Paper 7: The Turbo-Charged Diesel as a Road Transport Power Unit (1969)

The lowest possible cost of transport determines the choice of vehicle engine. Installation space, weight, and fuel consumption favour turbo-charged diesels which also have good smoke and noise characteristics. Much development work has been done at Volvo to increase reliability as regards the turbo-charger unit, cylinder head gaskets, valve wear, and bore scuffing. In this connection a decreased compression ratio is an important factor. However, cold starting and white smoke under part load must be solved in a way that does not decrease reliability.
Soroneutralização e imunofluorescência utilizando anticorpos monoclonais no diagnóstico rápido de infecções pelo herpesvírus bovino tipos 1 e 5 (BHV-1 e BHV-5) (2004)

Anticorpos monoclonais (AcMs) produzidos com uma amostra brasileira do herpesvírus bovino tipo 5 (BHV-5) foram utilizados na adaptação e padronização de técnicas rápidas para o diagnóstico de infecções pelo BHV-1 e BHV-5. A detecção de antígenos virais por imunofluorescência em células descamativas (IFCD) foi comparada com o isolamento viral, em secreções nasais de 16 bezerros, sendo 6 inoculados com o BHV-1 e 10 com o BHV-5. De 203 amostras testadas, 182 (89,6%) apresentaram resultados concordantes nos dois testes (143 positivas; 39 negativas). Comparando-se com o isolamento, a IFCD apresentou sensibilidade de 96,6%, especificidade de 70,9%, e precisão de 89,6%. Os AcMs também foram utilizados para detectar antígenos do BHV-5 em impressões frescas do cérebro de bezerros acometidos de enfermidade neurológica e em células de cultivo utilizadas na técnica de soroneutralização (SN), permitindo a obtenção dos resultados em 24 horas. A técnica, denominada de soroneutralização rápida (SNR), apresentou sensibilidade de 97,3%; especificidade de 95,5% e precisão de 96,2% em comparação com a SN tradicional; e sensibilidade de 94,7%, especificidade de 97,3% e precisão de 96,1% em comparação com um ELISA comercial. Esses resultados demonstram que esses AcMs podem ser muito úteis para uso em técnicas rápidas de diagnóstico de infecções suspeitas de BHV-1 ou de BHV-5, sobretudo em situações de surto, quando a tomada de decisões adequadas depende de um diagnóstico rápido e confiável.

The Hypolipidemic Effect of Citrullus colocynthis on Patients with Hyperlipidemia (2010)

Citrullus colocynthis is one of the medical herbs that traditionally have been used as an antidiabetic medication in tropical and subtropical countries. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypolipidemic effect of Citrullus colocynthis beyond the hypoglycemic impact on human. One hundred dislipidemic patients were randomly divided into two groups namely treated (n = 50) group and placebo (n = 50) group. The subjects were treated daily by powdered seeds of Citrullus colocynthis (300 mg) and placebo for 6 weeks. The serums, TG, Chol, LDL-C, HDL-C, SGOT and SGPT were measured with enzymatic methods at the beginning and the end of the project. The significance of differences within these groups was calculated by Paired T-test and by analysis of covariance between them. There were significant differences within and between treated and placebo groups during our treatment in TG and in Cholesterol after intervention (p < 0.05). A daily intake of 300 mg day(-1) of powdered seeds of Citrullus colocynthis can lower the triglyceride and cholesterol concentration significantly in nondiabetic hyperlipidemic patients.
Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Reinforcement of Subcutaneous Drainage (Hybrid-iNPWT) (2021)

Introduction: Incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) is a preventive measure for postoperative wound dehiscence in which negative pressure is applied to the suture wound. Indeed, insufficient drainage in the deep layer is associated with an increased risk of developing subcutaneous hematoma and wound complications. Here, we report two cases of lower limb degloving injury successfully managed by iNPWT, with the reinforcement of subcutaneous drainage (hybrid-iNPWT).Case presentation: Case 1 was that of an 87-year-old man who sustained a deep, dissecting hematoma of the left lower leg associated with the sensation of severe tightness and pain. After emergency incision and removal of the hematoma in the deep fascia, we performed a primary closure of the flap wound. A negative pressure of 80 mmHg was applied to the sutured wound via foam dressing (iNPWT). Concurrently, we connected the negative pressure device with a subcutaneous drainage tube inserted under the flap (hybrid-iNPWT). The flap survived without recurrence of hematoma. Case 2 was that of an 89-year-old woman with a right lower leg degloving injury. The skin and subcutaneous tissues were detached from the underlying fascia. After primary closure of the flap, hybrid-iNPWT was performed at a subatmospheric pressure of 80 mmHg. The patient was discharged without any complications related to wound healing.Discussion: The aim of using hybrid-iNPWT was to apply negative pressure not only to the surface of the sutured wound but also to the posterior portion of the flap. The intensity of the negative pressure provided by the iNPWT device was higher than that of the conventional suction drainage tube system. Hybrid-iNPWT can be an alternative solution for hematoma prevention and may allow early ambulation in the management of lower limb degloving injuries in elderly patients.
Optimization of the grouped sweeping scheduling (GSS) with heterogeneous multimedia streams (1993)

Grouped Sweeping Scheduling was proposed in This class includes, for example, the fixed-order and SCAN scheduling schemes. An optimum design was presented for the homogeneous case, i.e., when all multimedia streams have the same characteristics. In this paper we examine the more general situation in which a mixture of different format multimedia streams, with different characteristics, coexist on the disk. The emphasis is to present and prove a simple procedure for optimizing GSS in this heterogeneous situation. Finally, we discuss how GSS can be used in dynamic settings to support heterogeneous request streams.
Age‐related loss of skeletal muscle function and the inability to express the autocrine form of insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (MGF) in response to mechanical overload (2001)

The response of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signalling and the capacity of skeletal muscle to adapt to mechanical overload was studied using synergistic muscle ablation. Overload of the plantaris and soleus resulted in marked hypertrophy and activation of satellite cells (as indicated by MyoD expression), particularly in young rats. Two muscle IGF-1 splice variants were measured and found to be differentially regulated at the RNA level. The significant changes associated with the inability of the older muscles to respond to mechanical overload included the considerably lower expression of the local splice variant mechano growth factor, and the failure to up-regulate IGF-1 receptor and MyoD mRNA.
Conformational characterization of peptides rich in the cycloaliphatic Cα,α-disubstituted glycine 1-amino-cyclononane-1-carboxylic acid (1997)

A series of N- and C-protected, monodispersed homo-oligopeptides (to the pentamer level) from the cycloaliphatic C alpha,alpha-dialkylated glycine 1-aminocyclononane-1-carboxylic acid (Ac9c) and two Ala/Ac9c tripeptides have been synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. The conformational preferences of all the model peptides were determined in deuterochloroform solution by FT-IR absorption and 1H-NMR. The molecular structures of the amino acid derivatives mCIAc-Ac9c-OH and Z-Ac9c-OtBu, the dipeptide pBrBz-(Ac9c)2-OtBu, the tetrapeptide Z-(Ac9c)4-OtBu, and the pentapeptide Z-(Ac9c)5-OtBu were determined in the crystal state by X-ray diffraction. Based on this information, the average geometry and the preferred conformation for the cyclononyl moiety of the Ac9c residue have been assessed. The backbone conformational data are strongly in favour of the conclusion that the Ac9c residue is a strong beta-turn and helix former. A comparison with the structural propensity of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid, the prototype of C alpha,alpha-dialkylated glycines, and the other extensively investigated members of the family of 1-aminocycloalkane-1-carboxylic acids (Acnc, with n = 3-8) is made and the implications for the use of the Ac9c residue in conformationally constrained analogues of bioactive peptides are briefly examined.

Commercial Ion Exchange Resin Vitrification Studies (2002)

In the nuclear industry, ion exchange resins are used for purification of aqueous streams. The major contaminants of the resins are usually the radioactive materials that are removed from the aqueous streams. The use of the ion exchange resins creates a waste stream that can be very high in both organic and radioactive constituents. Therefore, disposal of the spent resin often becomes an economic problem because of the large volumes of resin produced and the relatively few technologies that are capable of economically stabilizing this waste. Vitrification of this waste stream presents a reasonable disposal alternative because of its inherent destruction capabilities, the volume reductions obtainable, and the durable product that it produces.
C-Arm-Based Navigation and Computer-Aided Surgery (2007)

Purpose: Computer-aided surgery has proved to be helpful for primary and secondary reconstructions in craniofacial surgery. A new C-arms generation allows fast 3D-imaging intraoperatively. This offers new applications, indications, and quality control in computer-aided surgery. The presentation of clinical cases demonstrates the application of C-arm navigation.
Morphological control of impact toughness in poly(methyl methacrylate) /acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber blends (1996)

Abstract Toughening of PMMA by in‐situ polymerisation of methyl methacrylate/acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber solutions to give blends with a multiple‐inclusion morphology has been achieved This contrasts with the lack of impact toughening observed upon direct blending of PMMA with the same rubber. The toughened blends are analogous to HIPS in terms of the multiple‐inclusion morphology and the observed cross‐linking within the separated elastomeric phase but possess significantly larger separated phase domains.
Phenoxybenzamine reduces bladder outlet obstruction in benign prostatic hyperplasia. A urodynamic investigation. (1980)

Nine patients with bladder outlet obstruction attributable to benign prostatic hyperplasia were treated with 15 mg of phenoxybenzamine daily. Spontaneous urinary flow, water cystometry, simultaneous pressure-flow-EMG, and the urethral closure pressure profile were measured before and at the end of 4 weeks of treatment with phenoxybenzamine. A significant reduction in residual urine volume and a significant increase in the first sensation and bladder capacity were found. All voiding pressure parameters were significantly reduced and flow rates significantly increased. Urethral closure pressure decreased significantly.
Auditory masking and MPEG-1 audio compression (1997)

In high-quality digital audio coding, a great deal of attention is focused on the auditory perception process, as the goal of audio compression is to attain perceptually-transparent compression and reproduction. Consequently models for perceptual masking are used extensively in audio coders, allowing quantisation noise to be allocated in the various frequency subbands according to a masking function. In this way, quantisation noise can be made almost inaudible at the receiver. In this paper, the psychoacoustic phenomenon of auditory masking is described. This is followed by a review of the MPEG-1 (Moving Pictures Experts Group) international standard for audio compression, including an outline of the psychoacoustic models used.
Evaluation of Deep Eutectic Systems as an Alternative to Solvents in Painting Conservation (2021)

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) are considered as green solvents, and due to their promising sustainability, they have been applied in many research fields. In this study, the main goal is to use various NADES systems to replace the traditional solvents used in conservation and restoration to remove varnish layers in a painting. The toxicity of traditional solvents, such as toluene or acetone, is well known in the chemistry field. To replace them, it is important to understand the intrinsic physicochemical properties of a solvent that may act as a substitute. Polarity and solubility are proposed as the best parameters required for this study. The Nile red probe was used to confirm the similarity between the polarity of deep eutectic systems (DESs) and traditional solvents. According to their polarities and Hansen solubility parameters, it is possible to predict the best solvents to solubilize the natural resin varnishes. Besides this, some arithmetic models can also be applied to estimate the critical or thermodynamic properties, which are useful tools to predict the behavior of these solvents. We have further proven the possibility of dissolving natural varnishes such as dammar or mastic in hydrophobic DESs, such as menthol + lauric acid, menthol + decanoic acid, or menthol + thymol.
Selective Detachment of Human Primary Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts Using an Addressable Conjugated Polymer Matrix (2014)

In the field of bioelectronics various electronic materials and devices are used in combination with biological systems in order to create novel applications within cell biology and medicine. A famous example of a successful bioelectronics application is the pacemaker. Metals are the most common electrical conductors, whereas polymers are generally considered being insulators. However, in the late 1970s it was shown that a special class of polymers with conjugated double bonds, could in fact, after some chemical modifications, conduct electricity. This was the start of the research field known as conducting polymers, and then later on organic electronics, a research area that has grown rapidly during the last decades. Conjugated polymers are also suitable to interact and interface with cells and tissues, as they are generally soft, flexible and biocompatible. In addition, their chemical properties can be tailor-made through synthesis to fit biological requirements and functions. During the last years applications using organic bioelectronics have become numerous.This thesis describes applications based on different conjugated polymers aiming to stimulate and control cell cultures. When culturing cells it is of interest to be able to control events such as adhesion, spreading, proliferation, differentiation and detachment. First, the impact of different polymer compositions and redox states on the adhesion of bacteria and subsequent biofilm formation was investigated. Similar polymer electrodes were also used to steer differentiation of neural stem cells, through changes in the surface exposure of a relevant biomolecule. Controlled delivery of molecules was achieved by coating nanoporous membranes with polymers that swell and contract when changing the redox state. Finally, electronic control over cell detachment using a water-soluble polymer was achieved. When applying a positive potential to this polymer, it swells, cracks and finally detaches, taking the cells that was cultured on top along with it. Together, the work and results presented in this thesis demonstrate a versatile conjugated polymer technology to achieve electronic control of the different growth stages of cell cultures as well as cellular functions.
Data from 9q31.2-rs865686 as a Susceptibility Locus for Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer: Evidence from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Background:&lt;/b&gt; Our recent genome-wide association study identified a novel breast cancer susceptibility locus at 9q31.2 (rs865686).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Methods:&lt;/b&gt; To further investigate the rs865686–breast cancer association, we conducted a replication study within the Breast Cancer Association Consortium, which comprises 37 case–control studies (48,394 cases, 50,836 controls).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; This replication study provides additional strong evidence of an inverse association between rs865686 and breast cancer risk [study-adjusted per G-allele OR, 0.90; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.88; 0.91, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 2.01 × 10&lt;sup&gt;−29&lt;/sup&gt;] among women of European ancestry. There were ethnic differences in the estimated minor (G)-allele frequency among controls [0.09, 0.30, and 0.38 among, respectively, Asians, Eastern Europeans, and other Europeans; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; for heterogeneity (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;het&lt;/sub&gt;) = 1.3 × 10&lt;sup&gt;−143&lt;/sup&gt;], but no evidence of ethnic differences in per allele OR (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;het&lt;/sub&gt; = 0.43). rs865686 was associated with estrogen receptor–positive (ER&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;) disease (per G-allele OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.86–0.91; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 3.13 × 10&lt;sup&gt;−22&lt;/sup&gt;) but less strongly, if at all, with ER-negative (ER&lt;sup&gt;−&lt;/sup&gt;) disease (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.94–1.02; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.26; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;het&lt;/sub&gt; = 1.16 × 10&lt;sup&gt;−6&lt;/sup&gt;), with no evidence of independent heterogeneity by progesterone receptor or HER2 status. The strength of the breast cancer association decreased with increasing age at diagnosis, with case-only analysis showing a trend in the number of copies of the G allele with increasing age at diagnosis (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; for linear trend = 0.0095), but only among women with ER&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; tumors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; This study is the first to show that rs865686 is a susceptibility marker for ER&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; breast cancer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Impact:&lt;/b&gt; The findings further support the view that genetic susceptibility varies according to tumor subtype. &lt;i&gt;Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 21(10); 1783–. ©2012 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
