Using of modified rapid palate expander with miniscrews in a patient affected by ectodermic dysplasia: doi: 10.7417/CT.2019.2127 (2019)

ObjectiveTo show the orthodontic treatment in a 8-year-old patient affected by Ectodermal Dysplasia (hypohidrotic type) and presenting multiple agenesiae, contraction of the maxilla and skeletal Class III malocclusion.
Study designBecause of both oligodontia of primary and secondary dentition and no good retention and anchoring, a hybrid modified rapid palatal expander (RPE) was used. It presented dental anchoring with two bands on first upper molars and skeletal anchoring with two miniscrews in the anterior palate. The project included the use of a CBTC for the bone examination and precise silicon dental impression for the insertion of miniscrews.
ResultsThe procedure was successful and the patient solved the expansion in few days, so RPE has been embedded throughout 6 months in order to develop the bone at the median suture.
ConclusionThis case report can be considered as a valid example for approaching patients affected by Ectodermal Dysplasia with multiple agenesiae and palatal contraction because of the difficult retention
Geometric derived motion vector for motion prediction in block-based video coding (2017)

Motion compensation plays an important role in inter picture prediction but the representation of motion vector (MV) is highly redundant. The existing motion model only selects the MVs of neighbor blocks as candidates even if they are very different from the MV of current block, which results in additional RD cost. In this paper, a geometric motion model is proposed to derive a geometric derived motion vector (GDMV) when an object has a relative movement that is close to or away from the camera. The proposed GDMV is integrated to HM 16.0 to further improve the motion prediction in HEVC. In order to ensure the accuracy of the motion vector predictor, a refining process is adopted before integrating the model into HEVC motion vector prediction. Experimental results show that compared to HM 16.0, the proposed GDMV can bring 0.14%~1.13% BD bitrate saving in low delay P main test.
Characteristics of Emergency Department Presentations of Pediatric Poisoning Between 2011 and 2016 (2018)

Over 6 years, the annual number of total poisoning cases and of accidental poisoning cases in particular increased despite a lack of change in the types of causative agents related to pediatric poisoning. This phenomenon may reflect failed preventative measures. Thus, the implementation of tailored preventative measures based on epidemiological data should be accelerated.
Atomic Fluorescence Flame Spectrometry (1968)

Atomic fluorescence flame spectrometry is a new flame method of analysis which is competitive with and often superior to atomic absorption and flame emission methods for the analysis of trace inorganics. Various experimental arrangements with different burners, flames, and excitation sources have been used successfully. Several advantages of atomic fluorescence as compared with the other flame methods are discussed. Using an intense line source, atomic fluorescence is more sensitive for most elements than other flame methods. Using a continuum source, such as the xenon arc, a qualitative and quantitative analysis can be performed simultaneously by scanning the spectrum. Chemical interferences are similar to those found in atomic absorption and can usually be eliminated by use of a suitable suppressing agent, such as strontium chloride.

Cells respond to a sudden increase in temperature with the transcription of a special set of genes, a phenomenon known as the heat shock response. In the yeast S. cerevisiae, the molecular chaperone Hsp26 is one component of the heat shock response. Hsp26 has the remarkable ability to sense increases in temperature directly and can switch from an inactive to a chaperone-active state. The underlying principle of this temperature regulation has remained enigmatic. Hsp26 variants with altered spectroscopic properties allowed us to identify structural elements controlling this activation process. We show that temperature sensing by Hsp26 is a feature of its middle domain that changes its conformation within a narrow temperature range. This structural rearrangement allows Hsp26 to respond autonomously and directly to heat stress by reversibly unleashing its chaperone activity. Thus, the Hsp26 middle domain is a thermosensor and intrinsic regulator of chaperone activity.
KDD and Its Applications in Automotive Sector - A Brief Survey. (2008)

Modern information society is facing many challenges due to the exploding sources of heterogeneous information. The typical of them include managing the data, integrating disparate data sources, imputing missing values in the data, extracting meaningful information from structured/unstructured data, developing tools for data analysis and predictive models, to name a few. The information technologies, such as data-mining, text-mining and semantic web, are playing major roles in tackling these issues. Automotive industry is one of the examples, where these technologies are not as deeply explored as other areas, but they could play a vital role in managing/analyzing automotive data. In this paper, we provide a brief survey of KDD technologies and their application to automotive sector, with particular attention to automotive service.
Asphaltene Adsorption onto an Iron Surface: Combined Near-Infrared (NIR), Raman, and AFM Study of the Kinetics, Thermodynamics, and Layer Structure (2010)

A combination of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to analyze the adsorption behavior of petroleum macromolecules (asphaltenes) on an iron (Fe) surface. A partial least-squares (PLS/PLSR) regression method was used for determining the concentration from NIR spectroscopic data. A Langmuir model was used to fit the experimental data. Effective kinetic and thermodynamic parameters (Gibbs energy of adsorption, adsorption/desorption rate constant, maximal adsorbed mass density) of asphaltenes adsorbed from benzene solution were evaluated: the maximum adsorbed mass density (Γmax) was found to be 4.90 ± 0.07 mg m−2; the adsorption constant (K) was found to be 0.084 ± 0.007 L mg−1; and a value of 34.3 ± 0.2 kJ mol−1 was calculated for the effective Gibbs energy of absorption (−ΔGads). The structure of the adsorbed layer was also analyzed by AFM. Asphaltenes were found to form aggregates on Fe surface with an average size of a few hundred nanometers. The notion of a nonuniform distribution of crude oil macromolecules adsorbed on metal surfaces was experimentally confirmed.

Quality of Service Enabled Database Applications (2006)

Abstract. In today’s enterprise service oriented software architectures, database systems are a crucial component for the quality of service (QoS) management between customers and service providers. The database workload consists of requests stemming from many different service classes, each of which has a dedicated service level agreement (SLA). We present an adaptive QoS management that is based on an economic model which adaptively penalizes individual requests depending on the SLA and the current degree of SLA conformance that the particular service class exhibits. For deriving the adaptive penalty of individual requests, our model differentiates between opportunity costs for underachieving an SLA threshold and marginal gains for (re-)achieving an SLA threshold. Based on the penalties, we develop a database component which schedules requests depending on their deadline and their associated penalty. We report experiments of our operational system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the adaptive QoS management. 1
Subsynchronous Resonance Mitigation for Series-Compensated DFIG-Based Wind Farm by Using Two-Degree-of-Freedom Control Strategy (2014)

This paper investigates a special class of dynamic power system problem, namely subsynchronous resonance (SSR) resulted from a series-compensated network connecting doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind farms. A novel two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) control strategy combined with a damping control loop is designed and analyzed for enhancing the system stability and alleviates the SSR that may arise due to the induction generator effect (IGE). The proposed control strategy is tested at different operating conditions of series compensation levels and low wind speeds to ensure the system stability. The doubly-fed induction generator based wind farms without the proposed control strategy leads to overall system instability during high series compensation and low wind speeds. Hence, the mitigation of the SSR and damping enhancement are critical to the entire power system stability. A reliable way of analyzing the system and designing effective control strategies against SSR based on the eigenvalue analysis and impedance based stability criterion is deployed. Moreover, analytical explanations have been elaborated to verify the procedure of the controller design. Fault ride-though capability has also been investigated with the proposed control strategy that is flexible to be integrated with the FRT schemes so as to assist the wind farm in mitigating the SSR during the fault recovery stage. Finally, time domain simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy for mitigating the SSR and damping power system oscillations.
Flexural strength of sapphire: Weibull statistical analysis of stressed area, surface coating, and polishing procedure effects (2004)

The results of fracture testing are usually reported in terms of a measured strength, σM=σi¯±Δσi¯, where σi¯ is the average of the recorded peak stresses at failure, and Δσi¯ represents the standard deviation. This “strength” does not provide an objective measure of the intrisic strength since σM depends on the test method and the size of the volume or the surface subjected to tensile stresses. We first clarify issues relating to Weibull’s theory of brittle fracture and then make use of the theory to assess the results of equibiaxial flexure testing that was carried out on a variety of sapphire specimens, at three mechanical test facilities. Specifically, we describe the failure probability distribution in terms of a characteristic strength σC—i.e., the effective strength of a uniformly stressed 1cm2 area—which allows us to predict the average stress at failure of a uniformly loaded “window” if the Weibull modulus m is available. A Weibull statistical analysis of biaxial-flexure strength data thus amounts to obtaining the parameters σC and m, which is best done by directly fitting estimated cumulative failure probabilities to the appropriate expression derived from Weibull’s theory. We demonstrate that: (a) measurements performed on sapphire test specimens originating from two suppliers confirm the applicability of the area scaling law; for mechanically polished c- and r-plane sapphire, we obtain σC≃975MPa, m=3.40 and σC≃550MPa, m=4.10, respectively. (b) Strongly adhering compressive coatings can augment the characteristic strength by as much as 60%, in accord with predictions based on fracture-mechanics considerations, but degrade the Weibull modulus, which mitigates the benefit of this approach. And (c) Measurements performed at 600°C on chemomechanically polished c-plane test specimens indicate that proper procedures may enhance the characteristic strength by as much as 150%, with no apparent degradation of the Weibull modulus.
Content adaptive video compression for autonomous vehicle remote driving (2021)

It is anticipated that in some extreme situations, autonomous cars will benefit from the intervention of a ״Remote Driver״. The vehicle computer may discover a failure and decide to request remote assistance for safe roadside parking. In a more extreme scenario, the vehicle may require a complete remote-driver takeover due to malfunctions or an inability to resolve unknown decision logic. In such cases, the remote driver will need a sufficiently good quality real-time video stream of the vehicle cameras to respond quickly and accurately enough to the situation at hand. Relaying such a video stream to the remote Command and Control (C&C) center is especially challenging when considering the varying wireless channel bandwidths expected in these scenarios. This paper proposes an innovative end-to-end content-sensitive video compression scheme to allow efficient and satisfactory video transmission from autonomous vehicles to the remote C&C center.
Can We Observe Nonperturbative Vacuum Shifts in Cavity QED? (2023)

We address the fundamental question of whether or not it is possible to achieve conditions under which the coupling of a single dipole to a strongly confined electromagnetic vacuum can result in nonperturbative corrections to the dipole's ground state. To do so we consider two simplified, but otherwise rather generic cavity QED setups, which allow us to derive analytic expressions for the total ground-state energy and to distinguish explicitly between purely electrostatic and genuine vacuum-induced contributions. Importantly, this derivation takes the full electromagnetic spectrum into account while avoiding any ambiguities arising from an ad hoc mode truncation. Our findings show that while the effect of confinement per se is not enough to result in substantial vacuum-induced corrections, the presence of high-impedance modes, such as plasmons or engineered LC resonances, can drastically increase these effects. Therefore, we conclude that with appropriately designed experiments it is at least in principle possible to access a regime where light-matter interactions become nonperturbative.
A framework for disease diagnosis based on fuzzy semantic ontology approach (2020)

In this paper, we propose an OWL2 ontology based on SNOMED CT standard medical terminology. It can provide significant help to support physicians in diabetes risk level diagnosis problem. It explicitly defines the semantics of diabetes knowledge by using ontology and deal with the imprecise and vague nature of its data by using fuzzy set theory. It involves building a complete linguistic fuzzy rule-base that can integrate knowledge from expert and CPG with knowledge extracted from training data and knowledge extracted from the semantic model. This step enhances the level of automation and interoperability of CDSS. The importance of our work comes from the current lack of studies related to the integration of the formal integration between the ontology semantics and FES reasoning, especially in the medical domain. The ontology acts as an integral and complementary component of the FES.
Influenzavaccinatie van ziekenhuismedewerkers vanuit werkgeversperspectief: batig saldo (2010)

OBJECTIVE: To assess the annual productivity loss among hospital healthcare workers attributable to influenza and to estimate the costs and economic benefits of a vaccination programme from the perspective of the the employer. DESIGN: Cost-benefit analysis. METHODS: The percentage of work loss due to influenza was determined using monthly age and gender specific figures for productivity loss among healthcare workers of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), the Netherlands over the period January 2006-June 2008. Influenza periods were determined on the basis of national surveillance data. The average increase in productivity loss in these periods was estimated by comparison with the periods outside influenza seasons. The direct costs of productivity loss from the perspective of the employer were estimated using the friction cost method. In the sensitivity analyses various modelling parameters were varied, such as the vaccination coverage. RESULTS: In the UMCG, with approximately 9,400 employees, the estimated annual costs associated with productivity loss due to influenza before the introduction of the yearly influenza vaccination program were € 675,242 or on average, € 72 per employee. The economic benefits of the current vaccination program with a vaccination coverage of 24% with a vaccine effectiveness of 71% were estimated at € 89,858 or € 10 per employee. The nett economic benefits of a vaccination program with a target vaccination coverage of 70% with a vaccine effectiveness of 71% were estimated at € 244,325 or € 26 per employee. CONCLUSION: This modelling study performed from the perspective of the employer showed that an annual influenza vaccination programme for hospital personnel can save costs.

Performance versus moment of inertia of sporting implements (2009)

Abstract A review is presented of the importance of the moment of inertia (MOI) to the performance of a sporting instrument. It is shown that for a given coefficient of restitution (COR), both the intrinsic power and the swing speed of a tennis racquet or baseball bat correlate strongly with the MOI about an axis through the handle and only weakly with the mass. It is further shown that for non‐wood baseball bats approved for use in college baseball in the USA, batted ball speed is a stronger function of COR than of MOI. When comparing two implements with the same MOI, the primary factor affecting performance is the COR, which can be enhanced by means of the trampoline effect. A new method of matching the MOI of a set of golf clubs is also described.

Structural studies in azolylmethanes (1984)

Abstract The crystal structures of a number of fungicidal azolylmethanes are compared. In the benzyl compounds [1‐aryl‐4,4‐dimethyl‐2‐(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)pentan‐3‐ones, the corresponding pentan‐3‐ols, and 1‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐3‐(2‐fluorophenyl)‐2‐(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)propan‐1‐one], the benzyl and tert‐butyl groups (or 4‐chlorophenyl group) are trans, whereas in the analogous phenoxy compounds [1‐(4‐chlorophenoxy)‐3,3‐dimethyl‐1‐(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)butan‐2‐one and the corresponding butan‐2‐ol], the tert‐butyl groups are trans to the triazole and gauche to the phenoxy group. Coupling constants, determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy, suggest that for some compounds there is one dominant solution conformation. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding, observed by infrared spectroscopy in two of the compounds, supports the findings by n.m.r. For some compounds, the crystal and solution conformations appear to be very similar, whereas in others they are quite different. Published data on the relative activity of the enantiomers of the benzyl‐ and phenoxy‐compounds are discussed, but differences in the relative activity of enantiomers in the two series cannot be readily rationalised. It is concluded that different enantiomers may have different modes of binding at the active site.
Structure of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase (2001)

The structure of mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isozyme 2 is of interest because it represents a family of serine-specific protein kinases that lack sequence similarity with all other eukaryotic protein kinases. Similarity exists instead with key motifs of prokaryotic histidine protein kinases and a family of eukaryotic ATPases. The 2.5-A crystal structure reported here reveals that pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isozyme 2 has two domains of about the same size. The N-terminal half is dominated by a bundle of four amphipathic alpha-helices, whereas the C-terminal half is folded into an alpha/beta sandwich that contains the nucleotide-binding site. Analysis of the structure reveals this C-terminal domain to be very similar to the nucleotide-binding domain of bacterial histidine kinases, but the catalytic mechanism appears similar to that of the eukaryotic serine kinases and ATPases.
