Experimental assessment of interaction between boric acid enriched in boron-10 and cementitious matrix (2020)

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;After some decades in applying boric acid with natural isotopic abundance (natural boric acid, NBA) solution as a neutron absorber, some nuclear facilities have started to use boric acid enriched in B-10 (enriched boric acid, EBA) to increase the control ability and parallelly, decrease the amount of liquid waste. Meanwhile, the stabilization condition of EBA in the cementitious matrix and durability of the waste form in disposal facilities have not been assessed or at least have not been reported yet. However, high relative mass difference between the two stable isotopes of boron (B-10 and B-11) implies a different leachability index for cementitious matrix prepared with NBA and EBA wastes.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In this study, the leachability (ASTM C1308-08 standard, 2017) of boron isotopes from cementitious matrix and its geochemical background will be assessed using ICP-OES, XRD, SEM-EDX and Raman-spectroscopy. The effects of parameters such as temperature, water to cement ratio (w/c), boric acid concentration and shape of the waste form will be studied. Geochemical modeling of the experiments will be done via PHREEQC software, which should support our understanding of the different geochemical behavior of NBA and EBA.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Based on the theoretical knowledge, a significant increase in leachability of boron from the cementitious matrix is expected when EBA is used instead of NBA because of the geochemical behavior of the two stable isotopes. Increase in leachability is expected when temperature and w/c increased, whereas the leachability will decrease when the normal cylindrical shape of samples are changed to spherical shape.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;References:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;M.

Management of Auricular Hematoma and the Cauliflower Ear (2010)

Acute auricular hematoma is common after blunt trauma to the side of the head. A network of vessels provides a rich blood supply to the ear, and the ear cartilage receives its nutrients from the overlying perichondrium. Prompt management of hematoma includes drainage and prevention of reaccumulation. If left untreated, an auricular hematoma can result in complications such as perichondritis, infection, and necrosis. Cauliflower ear may result from long-standing loss of blood supply to the ear cartilage and formation of neocartilage from disrupted perichondrium. Management of cauliflower ear involves excision of deformed cartilage and reshaping of the auricle.

Internal Sclerectomy for Glaucoma Filtering Surgery With an Automated Trephine (1987)

A technique is described for performing full-thickness glaucoma filtering operation from within the anterior chamber. The procedure utilizes an automated trephine, designated the "trabecuphine," that is capable of simultaneous cutting and irrigation. The trabecuphine is brought into the anterior chamber through a limbal incision 180 degrees away from the planned filter site. The trephine is passed across the anterior chamber, above the iris, and into the angle to perform the sclerotomy. This procedure was performed successfully in 13 eyes of seven cynomolgus monkeys. Complications included two small hyphemas that cleared completely. Other complications such as flat anterior chamber, corneal damage, iridodialysis, conjunctival buttonhole, and cataract formation did not occur. Internal scleral trephination may offer another alternative in the surgical management of patients with intractable glaucoma.
Efficacy of RNA interference knockdown using aerosolized short interfering RNAs bound to nanoparticles in three diverse aphid species (2017)

RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a promising method for validating gene function; however, its utility in nonmodel insects has proven problematic, with delivery methods being one of the main obstacles. This study investigates a novel method of RNAi delivery in aphids, the aerosolization of short interfering RNA (siRNA)-nanoparticle complexes. By using nanoparticles as a siRNA carrier, the likelihood of cellular uptake is increased, when compared to methods previously used in insects. To determine the efficacy of this RNAi delivery system, siRNAs were aerosolized with and without nanoparticles in three aphid species: Acyrthosiphon pisum, Aphis glycines and Schizaphis graminum. The genes targeted for knockdown were carotene dehydrogenase (tor), which is important for pigmentation in Ac. pisum, and branched chain-amino acid transaminase (bcat), which is essential in the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids in all three aphid species. Overall, we observed modest gene knockdown of tor in Ac. pisum and moderate gene knockdown of bcat in Ap. glycines along with its associated phenotype. We also determined that the nanoparticle emulsion significantly increased the efficacy of gene knockdown. Overall, these results suggest that the aerosolized siRNA-nanoparticle delivery method is a promising new high-throughput and non-invasive RNAi delivery method in some aphid species.
Age-related microbiological changes in the salivary and plaque microflora of healthy adults (1991)

The effect of age on quantitative or qualitative differences in selected bacteria of dental significance and on the carriage of opportunistic pathogens and transient oral species was determined in 79 healthy, non-denture wearing individuals divided into four age groups: 20-39 years (group A), 40-59 years (group B), 60-79 years (group C) and greater than or equal to 80 years (group D). Samples of dental plaque and whole saliva were cultured on appropriate selective and non-selective bacteriological media. The total numbers of viable bacteria in saliva, and the prevalence of mutans streptococci in plaque and saliva were similar in all age groups. Similarly, there was no correlation between the numbers of spirochaetes in plaque and age. In contrast, statistically significantly higher mean proportions (p = 0.004), mean log10 viable counts (p = 0.001) and isolation frequencies (p less than 0.01) of lactobacilli were found in the saliva of those aged greater than or equal to 70 years compared to subjects in group A. The isolation frequency (p less than 0.05) and proportions (p = 0.056) of staphylococci in saliva were also higher in those aged greater than or equal to 70 years. Yeasts were isolated most often and in higher numbers from saliva in those aged greater than or equal to 80 years and the proportion of yeasts was higher after 60 years of age, but these differences were not significant in comparison with results from individuals in group A.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Feline Models of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (2006)

Feline diabetes mellitus (FDM) closely resembles human type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in many respects including clinical, physiological, and pathological features of the disease. These features include age of onset of FDM in middle age, association with obesity, residual but declining insulin secretion, development of islet amyloid deposits, loss of approximately 50% of beta-cell mass, and development of complications in several organ systems including peripheral polyneuropathy and retinopathy. Many of the pathological aspects of the disease are also experimentally inducible, facilitating study of the pathogenesis of these lesions. Physiological aspects of FDM and obesity are also well studied in the cat and provide an excellent basis for comparative studies of human T2DM. The relatively short generation time of cats along with breed predispositions to development of FDM may allow for more rapid screening and identification of genetic markers for diabetes susceptibility. FDM, in both spontaneous and inducible forms, therefore provides a good animal model of human T2DM and may provide additional insights into the pathogenesis of this important condition.
Lanthanide Complexes Based on a 1,7-Diaza-12-crown-4 Platform Containing Picolinate Pendants: A New Structural Entry for the Design of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast Agents (2008)

We have synthesized a new macrocyclic ligand, N,N'-Bis[(6-carboxy-2-pyridyl)methyl]-1,7-diaza-12-crown-4 (H 2bp12c4), designed for complexation of lanthanide ions in aqueous solution. The X-ray crystal structure of the Gd (III) complex shows that the metal ion is directly bound to the eight donor atoms of the bp12c4 ligand, the ninth coordination site being occupied by an oxygen atom of a carboxylate group of a neighboring [Gd(bp12c4)] (+) unit, while the structure of the Lu (III) analogue shows the metal ion being only eight-coordinate. The hydration numbers obtained from luminescence lifetime measurements in aqueous solution of the Eu (III) and Tb (III) complexes suggest an equilibrium in aqueous solution between a dihydrated ( q = 2), ten-coordinate and a monohydrated ( q = 1), nine-coordinate species. This has been confirmed by a variable temperature UV-vis spectrophotometric study on the Eu (III) complex. The structure of the complexes in solution has been investigated by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, as well as by theoretical calculations performed at the DFT (B3LYP) level. The results indicate that the change in hydration number occurring around the middle of the lanthanide series is accompanied by a change in the conformation adopted by the complexes in solution [Delta(lambdalambdalambdalambda) for q = 2 and Lambda(deltalambdadeltalambda) for q = 1]. The structure calculated for the Yb (III) complex (Lambda(deltalambdadeltalambda)) is in good agreement with the experimental structure in solution, as demonstrated by the analysis of the Yb (III)-induced paramagnetic (1)H shifts.
Organic Three‐Component Single Crystals with Pseudo‐Isomorphic Cocrystallization for Nonlinear Optics and THz Photonics (2018)

Abstract A new organic three‐component single crystals are developed using the so‐called “pseudo‐isomorphic cocrystallization” for nonlinear optical and terahertz (THz) photonic applications. The pseudo‐isomorphic cocrystallization is based on two homocrystals exhibiting similar molecular ordering feature in the crystalline state, but different crystallographic space groups. Such new organic cocrystals consist of three components, highly nonlinear optical 2‐(4‐hydroxystyryl)‐1‐methylquinolinium (OHQ) cation, and two different counter anions. Compared to homocrystals having two components (OHQ cation and a single anion type), OHQ‐based cocrystals by isomorphic cocrystallization from isomorphic homocrystals exhibit an isomorphic crystal structure with very similar physical properties. In contrast, OHQ‐based cocrystals by pseudo‐isomorphic cocrystallization provide a different molecular ordering with a different crystallographic space group, resulting in remarkably distinguishable crystal characteristics and physical properties, while maintaining large macroscopic optical nonlinearity with excellent optical quality and morphology suitable for diverse optical experiments. To show a potential for nonlinear optical applications, THz wave generation is demonstrated by optical rectification pumped at fundamental wavelength of 1300 nm. A 0.92 mm thick OHQ‐based cocrystal by pseudo‐isomorphic cocrystallization delivers efficient optical‐to‐THz conversion with one order of magnitude higher peak‐to‐peak THz electric field than the 1.0 mm thick inorganic standard ZnTe crystal and presents a broad spectral bandwidth of up to 8 THz.

Advantages of a conservative velocity interpolation (CVI) scheme for particle‐in‐cell methods with application in geodynamic modeling (2015)

The particle-in-cell method is generally considered a flexible and robust method to model the geodynamic problems with chemical heterogeneity. However, velocity interpolation from grid points to particle locations is often performed without considering the divergence of the velocity field, which can lead to significant particle dispersion or clustering if those particles move through regions of strong velocity gradients. This may ultimately result in cells void of particles, which, if left untreated, may, in turn, lead to numerical inaccuracies. Here we apply a two-dimensional conservative velocity interpolation (CVI) scheme to steady state and time-dependent flow fields with strong velocity gradients (e.g., due to large local viscosity variation) and derive and apply the three-dimensional equivalent. We show that the introduction of CVI significantly reduces the dispersion and clustering of particles in both steady state and time-dependent flow problems and maintains a locally steady number of particles, without the need for ad hoc remedies such as very high initial particle densities or reseeding during the calculation. We illustrate that this method provides a significant improvement to particle distributions in common geodynamic modeling problems such as subduction zones or lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary dynamics.
Wing morph development and reproduction of the ectoparasitoid Melittobia digitata: nutritional and hormonal effects (2004)

Abstract Manipulation studies of the temporal availability of nutrients during parasitoid larval development (high‐quality host vs. host deprivation) demonstrated that parasitoid access to nutrition affected the wing morph development of Melittobia digitata Dahms (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), but not the parasitoid's ovarian development. Around 70% of programmed short wing morph larvae (SWM) that had been host‐deprived at 120 h after host parasitization shifted their development and emerged as long wing morphs (LWM). A reversion in morph development of programmed LWM was also found when the larvae were offered new hosts after up to 120 h of development, and both programmed SWM or LWM larvae that differentiated as SWMs had a similar egg load. Although precocene treatment of programmed SWM induced 30% of LWM development, morph development of programmed LWM remained unaltered if treated with methoprene, a juvenile hormone analogue (JHA), indicating that the morph development of M. digitata does not appear to be under juvenile hormone control. However, both precocene and JHA affected the ovarian development of the emerging female. We hypothesize that specific nutrients from the host hemolymph, or changes in the host internal composition at the parasitoid larval sensitive stage (120–123 h) induce changes in pathways that control parasitoid metabolism and nutrient allocation decisions during the cell growth and development of imaginal discs.
Computed tomography angiography in microsurgery: indications, clinical utility, and pitfalls. (2013)

This large study of CTA obtained for preoperative planning of reconstructive microsurgery at both donor and recipient sites study demonstrates that CTA is safe and highly accurate. Computed tomographic angiography can alter the surgeon's reconstructive plan when abnormalities are noted preoperatively and consequently improve results by decreasing vascular complication rates. The use of CTA should be considered for cases of microsurgical reconstruction where the vascular anatomy may be questionable.
Defect reduction with CMP pad dressing optimization (2014)

CMP is regarded as a process to remove material from wafer surface. And lots of mixture will be created from polishing interface. Consumables, such like pad, retainer ring, dresser and membrane will be consumed during polishing. Furthermore, abrasive, slurry chemicals and wafer surface material will have some specific interaction through well designed chemistry, which produced lots of by-products. These un-expected pollutants from consumable consumed and chemical reactions during polishing will generate defects on wafer surface, such like scratch, pits or others. This study introduces an advanced opinion to ease defect generated. We found pad dressing parameter is a highly correlation factor to post CMP defects. Over dressing condition will shorten pad life time and also create more particles in the polishing interface to cause defects on the wafer. Under dressing condition will get an unstable removal rate and uniformity through pad life time. We had found out a sweet spot for defects reductions with BSL (baseline) RR (removal rate) and uniformity retained with dressing recipe optimized.
Palladium-Catalyzed Stereoselective Difunctionalization of Bicyclic Alkenes with Organoammonium Salts and Organoboronic Compounds (2021)

A palladium-catalyzed difunctionalization of bicyclic alkenes with organoammonium salts and organoboronic compounds was reported. A wide range of functionalized cyclic products, including those bearing functional groups, were produced stereoselectively in good to excellent yields. The gram-scale experiment, one-pot operation, and synthetic application of β-borylated products further demonstrated the synthetic value of this new reaction in organic synthesis.

Selective Advantage of Resistant Strains at Trace Levels of Antibiotics: a Simple and Ultrasensitive Color Test for Detection of Antibiotics and Genotoxic Agents (2011)

Many studies have examined the evolution of bacterial mutants that are resistant to specific antibiotics, and many of these focus on concentrations at and above the MIC. Here we ask for the minimum concentration at which existing resistant mutants can outgrow sensitive wild-type strains in competition experiments at antibiotic levels significantly below the MIC, and we define a minimum selective concentration (MSC) in Escherichia coli for two antibiotics, which is near 1/5 of the MIC for ciprofloxacin and 1/20 of the MIC for tetracycline. Because of the prevalence of resistant mutants already in the human microbiome, allowable levels of antibiotics to which we are exposed should be below the MSC. Since this concentration often corresponds to low or trace levels of antibiotics, it is helpful to have simple tests to detect such trace levels. We describe a simple ultrasensitive test for detecting the presence of antibiotics and genotoxic agents. The test is based on the use of chromogenic proteins as color markers and the use of single and multiple mutants of Escherichia coli that have greatly increased sensitivity to either a wide range of antibiotics or specific antibiotics, antibiotic families, and genotoxic agents. This test can detect ciprofloxacin at 1/75 of the MIC.
