Quality evaluation and determination of heavy metal contents in palm oil (2020)

Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil, extracted from the fruit of the Elaeis guineensis which is used for frying foods in most of the restaurants and confectionaries as well as for cosmetic preparations in industries. As the quality of palm oil in Bangladesh is deteriorating day by day, ten brands (S-1 to S-10) of commercially available palm oils were collected from different local markets, their physicochemical properties were tested and compared with the standard parameters stated by Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI). Results revealed that the acid value, free fatty acid value and relative density of all the palm oils (S-1 to S-10) were within the range of BSTI standard. However, the saponification value, peroxide value, iodine value, insoluble impurities and moisture content were much higher than the ranges of BSTI standard in all the samples. Moreover, lead content was higher than the standard value (&gt;0.1 ppm) in brands S-1, S-4 and S-10. In addition, Copper and Iron contents were higher than the BSTI standards (0.1 and 1.5 ppm) in all the tested samples, whereas Cadmium content was below than the standard level (1.0 ppm).&#x0D; Bangladesh J.

Spectral Correlator Technologies (1985)

A spatial filter spectral correlation method capable of distinguishing spectral absorption features due to a target trace gas from interfering absorption features of another gas has been developed. This technique was demonstrated for trace detection of gaseous formaldehyde in the 3.5 µm spectral region in the presence of large and variable amounts of interfering water vapor. The demonstrated success of this spectral correlator method will allow the routine detection and logging of formaldehyde levels of 10 to 100 ppb in indoor environments.

神經語言程式學(NLP)對工作壓力轉變成效之研究－以牙醫助理為例 (2016)

The ILO (International Labour Office, ILO) in 2014 noted that occupational stress is not just for special occasions or a problem, but a global trend of increasing significantly affect all occupations other staff, all workplaces and all countries. It pointed out that scientific evidence does lead to some environmental practice most people work pressure, especially the heavy workload of medical practice environment. Studies have shown that work stress affects not only the physical and mental health nurses, and with the willingness to remain in office, is closely related to quality of care and patient safety. The dental assistant personnel are often required to maintain a good working attitude and enthusiasm, the face of these work caused by stress symptoms, which may affect the health and quality of care of individual employees and unwind. NLP (Neuro- Linguistic Programming, abbreviated NLP) formed in the 1970s to change the mentality of many individuals from the inner effective techniques can be used, and can effectively reduce the individual's behavior problems. In this study, from the Department of Dental assistants and dental clinics operating characteristics perspective, Neuro-Linguistic Programming raised relieving method of transition, in order to improve physical and mental health of employees, but also to promote harmonious labor relations, and thus create a healthy workplace. In this study, the dentist assistance for the study, a randomized controlled trial mining samples were divided into experimental and control groups.

[Assessment of neurovascular compression in patients with trigeminal neuralgia with a boundary fusion three-dimensional magnetic resonance cisternogram/angiogram]. (2007)

Precise assessment of the complex nerve-vessel relationship at the root entry zone (REZ) the trigeminal nerve is useful for the planning of the microvascular decompression (MVD) in patients with trigeminal neuralgia. We have applied a boundary imaging of fusion three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) cisternogram/angiogram. The boundary imaging allows virtual assessment of the spatial relationship of the neurovascular compression at the REZ of the trigeminal nerve. The boundary images depicted complex anatomical relationship of the offending vessels to the trigeminal nerve REZ. The presence of offending vessels, compressive site, and degree of neurovascular compression were assessed from various viewpoints in thl cistern and virtually through the brainstem and trigeminal nerve per se. The 3D visualization of the nerve-vessel relationship with fusion images was consistent with the intraoperative findings. The boundary fusion 3D MR cisternogram/angiogram may prove a useful adjunct for the diag nosis and decision-making process to execute the MVD in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.

Non-invasive Evaluation of Muscle Fatigue Using Mechanomyography and Surface Electromyography - A Pilot Study (2022)

Muscle fatigue is defined as a decline in the ability to maintain a desired force against a load. Muscle fatigue may also be described as a decline in the muscle's maximum force during contraction. In contrast to muscle damage or weakness, characterized by a compromise in the ability of well-rested muscles to generate force, muscle fatigue is generally reversible with rest [2]. In a muscle experiencing fatigue, the nerves cannot sustain the high frequency signal necessary to reach the Maximum Contraction (MC) for a long time, resulting in a decline in muscle force during a sustained contraction. Due to its utility in providing information about nerve signaling and muscle's electrical activity, surface electromyography (sEMG) is currently the dominant method to detect muscle fatigue [2]. Mechanomyography (MMG) can reveal unique information that cannot be derived from the sEMG signal alone about the physiological behavior of muscles during contraction. However, more information may be needed about the ability of MMG to measure changes in muscle's activation patterns and mechanical properties that occur with muscle fatigue. Additionally, investigating the force-dependent characteristics of the MMG signal can provide information about physiological properties such as muscle activation strategies and fiber type distribution, which can be used to explore factors contributing to fatigue responses [1]. The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the electrical and mechanical muscle responses to submaximal isometric contractions, as well as force-varying trapezoidal contractions in the rectus femoris muscle.

Trace gas detection with short-external-cavity InGaAsP diode laser transmitter modules operating at 158 μm (1988)

Detection of CO(2) and CO at 1.58 microm (6322 cm(-1)) using an InGaAsP diode laser and mode control is described.Mode control is a technique whereby a short cavity, external to the laser, is used to force the laser to operate in a single mode. By monitoring the voltage across the terminals of the laser and using electronic feedback it is possible to optimize continually the external cavity so that the laser operates reliably in the mode of choice for scans >3.5 cm(-1). This technique offers the possibility of high-sensitivity detection over a region of ~30 cm(-1) with continuous coverage in overlapping sections of ~3 cm(-1) with conventional (and hence inexpensive) multimode diode lasers.
Economic growth and height of youth: a panel data analysis on 27 provinces in China, 1985–2014 (2019)

<title>Abstract</title> Background: This study aimed to empirically examine the influence of China’s macroeconomic development on the height of Chinese youth in the past 30 years, using provincial panel data collected from more than one million children. Methods: Panel data from seven longitudinal surveys (1985, 1991, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2014) of the Chinese National Surveys on Students’ Constitution and Health, including students aged 7–22 years from 27 provinces, were utilized for data analysis. Fixed-effects models were used to estimate the association between economic growth and height. Results: For every 1% increase in per capita disposable income (PCDI), the average height of students significantly increased by approximately 0.009%. Stated another way, this implies that a doubling of income is associated with 0.9% increase in height, which is significant for height. The coefficient of PCDI in the last decade is higher than that of in the early two decades. The average height of boys was approximately 3.9% higher than that of girls. The average height difference between high and low ages in the sample was 1.9%. The impact of policies on students' height was extremely small and may have little practical significance. Conclusion: China’s economic growth has a significant positive effect on the height of urban Chinese students without stagnation.

Topographic effects on the wind‐driven ocean circulation (1970)

Abstract This is a study of the influence of bottom topography of an ocean basin on the wind‐driven, barotropic ocean circulation. A detailed investigation is made of the role of vorticity transfer to the ocean bottom in the presence of varying topography. It is shown that the wind‐driven gyre over the topography of the North Atlantic has a transport in the western part of the basin only half of that obtained in an ocean of constant depth.
Interactions Between Stress and Sex in Microbial Responses Within the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis in a Mouse Model (2018)

These data suggest sex influences stress response and the microbiota-gut-brain axis and that studies of behavior and the microbiome therefore benefit from consideration of how sex differences drive behavior and microbial community structure. Host stress resilience and absence of associations between stress-induced behaviors with specific microbes suggests that hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation represents a threshold for microbial influence on host behavior. Future studies are needed in examining the intersection of sex, stress response, and the microbiota-gut-brain axis.
Blazing New Trails (Pollen Tube Guidance in Flowering Plants) (1997)

Higher plants minimize their exposure to pollen from diverse species by precise regulation of flowering time, development of floral organs, and interactions with specific pollinators. These measures do not guarantee success, however, because of the vast quantities of pollen in the environment. Consequently, to ensure that only the appropriate sperm are delivered to the eggs, many plants have evolved elaborate signaling pathways that monitor the pollen as it grows into the interior of the pistil. Signals are exchanged at every step along this pathway, beginning with the recognition of pollen by cells on the pistil surface and continuing as the pollen grains extend polarized projections (pollen tubes) that invade the pistil and migrate to the eggs. As the pollen tubes race toward their targets, these signals guide the deposition of new membrane and cell wall components and the transportation of sperm and other cellular contents to the tip of the growing tube. Whether the signals that direct pollen tube growth come from female tissues or from the pollen tube itself remains unknown; successful navigation most likely depends on the interplay of both male and female signals. These signals could be structural or chemical in nature, and probably comprise a combination of positive cues that guide pollen tubes to the eggs and negative signals that repel other tubes. Recent investigations into pollen tube guidance have brought the answers to some of these questions within reach.
Single particle tracking of cell-surface HLA-DR molecules using R-phycoerythrin labeled monoclonal antibodies and fluorescence digital imaging (1996)

The mobility of cell surface MHC molecules and their ability to form dynamic associations may be related to the physiological status of the cell and to the potential to bind effector T lymphocytes. To investigate these properties, we have prepared HLA DR specific monoclonal antibodies coupled in a 1:1 mole ratio to the fluorescent phycobiliprotein, R-phycoerythrin (PE). We show that these small particles can be sequentially imaged using a cooled slow-scan charge coupled device camera and hence can be used for single particle tracking experiments. We have applied this technique to investigate the movements of HLA DR molecules on fibroblasts transfected with human DR alpha and DR beta genes. PE-IgG was bound to the transfected fibroblasts and particle tracks were obtained by sequential imaging over a period of typically 30 minutes. Analysis of particle tracks revealed the presence of directed motion and domain-limited diffusion in addition to random diffusion. The contributions of these three types of motion showed cell to cell variability. Velocities of directed motion were of the order of 2 nm second-1 whilst domain diameters were in the range 200-800 nm. Diffusion coefficients for random diffusion were in the range 1 x 10(-13)-5 x 10(-12) cm2 second-1. The higher mobilities were observed for the lower intensity fluorescent spots, which possibly correspond to images of single particles. Much lower mobility was observed with a cell where the spot intensities were approximately double that of the lower intensity spots. These spots could be images of double particles implying the association of at least two HLA DR alpha beta dimers. These data are relevant to the study of MHC class II cell surface redistribution and antigen presentation in specific immunity.
Intraperitoneal catheter drainage of lymphocele: an outpatient procedure (2005)

Laparoscopic marsupialization of lymphocele carries 13% recurrence rate, 6% injury to other organs, 12% omentoplasty, 6% open conversion and 1.8 average hospital days. A novel, simplified technique of intraperitoneal catheter drainage of lymphocele is described. Under ultrasound guidance and using the Seldinger technique, a 13F Hickman catheter was introduced into the lymphocele and connected subcutaneously to a small peritoneal window performed 5 cm apart. During the last 8 years the procedure was performed under local anesthesia in 14 patients on an outpatient basis with success (e.g. resolution of both hydronephrosis and lymphocele). One wound infection required removal of the catheter without recurrence. In another patient laparoscopy showed retraction of the catheter under the peritoneum as cause for lymphocele recurrence. In all cases absence of injury to the GU tract was confirmed by absence of extravasation of indigo carmine given intravenously. Intraperitoneal catheter drainage of post-transplant lymphocele is an effective outpatient procedure. It avoids the drawbacks of general anesthesia required by open and laparoscopic marsupialization procedures and deserves to be evaluated in a multicenter study.
Directional movement of rat prostate cancer cells in direct-current electric field (2001)

A two-part hypothesis has been tested, which proposes that (1) prostate cancer cells are galvanotactic (i.e. respond to an electric field by moving directionally) and (2) voltage-gated Na+ channel activity, which was shown previously to be expressed specifically by strongly metastatic cells, controls galvanotaxis. Two well-defined rat ('Dunning') cell lines, originally derived from the same prostate tumour but differing markedly in their metastatic ability, were used. Cells were exposed to exogenous direct-current electric fields of physiological strength (0.1-4.0 V cm(-1)), their reactions were recorded by light microscopy and analysed by a quantitative tracking method. Voltage-gated Na+ channel activity was modulated pharmacologically using a range of concentrations of a specific channel blocker (tetrodotoxin) or an opener (veratridine). The results showed that the highly metastatic MAT-LyLu cells responded to the application of the electric field strongly by migrating towards the cathode. By contrast, the weakly metastatic AT-2 cells gave no such response. Tetrodotoxin suppressed the galvanotactic response of the MAT-LyLu cells whereas veratridine enhanced it. Both compounds had little effect on the AT-2 cells. These results are consistent with functional voltage-gated Na+ channel expression occurring specifically in highly metastatic cells. This is also the first demonstration of control of galvanotaxis, in any cell type, by voltage-gated Na+ channel activity. The possible underlying mechanisms and the in vivo relevance of these findings are discussed.
Does Carotid Endarterectomy Modify Cerebral Vasomotor Reactivity? (1997)

The effects of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) on cerebral hemodynamics in certain groups of patients with severe carotid stenosis still remain unclear. Cerebral vasomotor reactivity (CVR) is an important indicator of intracranial blood supply and cerebral autoregulation. Symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with severe carotid stenosis and impaired CVR were evaluated before and after CEA. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) and the Diamox test (i.v. administration of 1.0 g acetazolamide) before and 3 months after CEA were performed in 42 patients (21 symptomatic, 21 asymptomatic) with severe (70–99%) carotid stenosis. CVR was assessed as the difference between peak blood flow velocities in the middle cerebral artery ipsilateral to the carotid stenosis before and after acetazolamide injection and as percent increase of blood flow velocity after acetazolamide (ANOVA). Three months after CEA there was statistically significant improvement of CVR in asymptomatic compared with symptomatic patients (p < 0.05, ANOVA). CEA improves CVR mostly in asymptomatic patients. TCD combined with the Diamox test appears to be a useful tool in assessing cerebral hemodynamics prior to carotid surgery, and might be an additional criterion for selecting asymptomatic patients for CEA.
