Tentativas de Resistência na Arte (2017)

Trata-se de entender a arte e seu desdobramento como ato de criacao e de resistencia – diante dos sistemas de exclusao e de dominacao sociocultural – a partir de algumas ideias de Michel Foucault e Gilles Deleuze. Tais posicionamentos foram analisados na medida em que possibilitam a compreensao de certas manifestacoes nas artes que evidenciam a ideia de resistencia aos padroes pre-estabelecidos pelas sociedades de controle. Nesse sentido, propusemos uma leitura critica, que valoriza o ato de criacao por meio do dialogo com algumas producoes contemporâneas brasileiras.
Simultaneous Oculomotor and Facial Nerve Palsies in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Sjögren’s Syndrome (2019)

A 70-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presented with simultaneous right oculomotor nerve palsy and right facial nerve palsy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed no abnormality. Coexistent Sjögren's syndrome was diagnosed on the basis of anti-SS-A antibody positivity, salivary gland scintigraphy, and histological findings on minor salivary gland biopsy. As there was no obvious cause of multiple cranial neuropathies, we supposed that the palsies were induced by either of the underlying diseases. The patient was treated with a high-dose of prednisolone and intravenous cyclophosphamide, and both palsies recovered almost completely within two weeks.
Reducing Compressor Station Ambient Noise Level by Controlling Compressor Internal Noise Source (2002)

Dresser-Rand single stage pipeline booster compressors have been popular for gas transmission applications due to their high efficiency. As more compressors are installed in natural gas compressor stations close to populated areas, the noise level emitted from the compressor stations becomes a concern. To address the potential community noise concerns, Dresser-Rand recently developed a very effective noise control device — the Duct Resonator array or DR array, to attenuate the internal noise of the compressor, which is typically a major noise source of a compressor station. This technology has been validated by extensive in-house experimental study to be acoustically effective and yet have no measurable adverse effect on aerodynamic performance. This paper discusses the application of DR arrays in two compressors that are in-service at a Williams Gas Pipeline compressor station. Note: the DR arrays are now included in the third unit addition. A successful collaboration among the compressor manufacturer, the compressor user, and a third party acoustics expert was coordinated to take acoustic measurements independently to evaluate the noise reduction provided by the DR arrays. The comprehensive acoustic data acquisition included sound pressure level and sound intensity level measurements around each of the two compressors and several noise level surveys both inside and outside of the compressor building. Noise testing was first performed on each of the two compressors prior to the installation of the DR arrays and was repeated after the compressor hardware modification with DR arrays. A comparison of the noise data recorded before and after the installation of the DR arrays confirmed that the compressor noise level inside the compressor building and the noise level outside of the building were reduced significantly. The DR array has proved to be an efficient and effective device for reducing noise and vibration levels of both existing and new centrifugal compressors and associated piping.
[Production of specific CTL induced by exosomes derived from K562 cells]. (2006)

The aim of this study was to investigate whether exosomes derived from K562 cells and human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) transfected with total RNA of K562 cells are capable of inducing antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) responses in vitro. DCs were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) of healthy volunteers in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4, and then were transfected with K562 RNA by using DOTAP lipofection. Exosomes was extracted from the supernatant of DCs and K562 cells. The T cell were activated to be tumor specific CTL after DCs and exosomes were co-cultured with autologous T cells derived from healthy volunteers' PBMNC. The effect of CTL on K562 cells was detected by MTT assay. The results showed that treatment of T cells with exosomes derived from K562 cells or DCs transfected with total RNA of K562 cells could significantly promote their killing ability on K562 cells as compared with untreated T cells (P < 0.05). The killing ability of T cells treated with exosomes on K562 cells was stronger than on HL-60 cells (P < 0.05). It is concluded that the specific CTL immune response to leukemia cells can be induced by exosomes derived from K562 cells.

Quantification of functional weakness and abnormal synergy patterns in the lower limb of individuals with chronic stroke (2006)

The results of this study indicate that in a standing position stroke subjects are significantly weaker in their affected leg when compared to age-matched controls, yet showed little evidence of the classic lower-limb abnormal synergy patterns previously reported. The findings here suggest that the primary contributor to isometric lower limb motor deficits in chronic stroke subjects is weakness.
Studies on the rheumatoid factor synthesis of the peripheral blood and synovial fluid mononuclear cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (1982)

Peripheral blood and synovial fluid mononuclear cells (MNC) were cultured with pokeweed mitogen for 7 days, and the media which contained secreted IgM rheumatoid factor (IgM RF) were assayed by double antibody radio-immunoassay technique, which was specific and sensitive enough to assay them.Peripheral blood and synovial fluid MNC from seropositive RA patients synthesized high levels of IgM RF, whereas those from seronegative RA patients, patients of osteoarthritis and normal subjects synthesized low levels of it. The IgM RF titers in media were correlated well with the level present in the sera of the donors which were assayed by haemagglutination methods. Synthesis of IgM RF by synovial fluid MNC but not by peripheral blood MNC led to a concomitant synthesis of total IgM. Moreover B lymphocytes demanded helper activity of T lymphocytes for the synthesis of IgM. These data suggested that peripheral blood and synovial fluid MNC from patients with RA play an important role in the synthesis of IgM RF in vivo.
Ulvan molecular weight modulates murine macrophage inflammatory response in vitro (2020)

Ulvan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from the green seaweed genus Ulva, has bioactive properties including an immunomodulating capacity. The immunomodulatory capacity of ulvan from Ulva ohnoi, however, has not been assessed in detail. We depolymerised purified ulvan from U. ohnoi to obtain a range of molecular weight fractions (Mw 7, 9, 13, 21, 209 kDa), which were characterised by constituent sugar analysis, SEC-MALLS, and NMR. Ulvan fractions contained 48.8–54.7 mol% rhamnose, 32.5–35.9 mol% glucuronic acid, 4.5–7.3 mol% iduronic acid, and 3.3–5.6 mol% xylose. ¹H and ¹³C NMR was consistent with hydrolysis occurring at the anomeric centre without further modification to the oligosaccharide structure. The in vitro immunomodulatory effect of ulvan fractions was quantified by measuring levels of inflammatory-mediating signalling molecules released from LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 murine macrophages. All ulvan fractions showed no toxicity on RAW264.7 cells at concentrations below 100 μg mL⁻¹ over 48 h. Secreted interleukin-10 and prostaglandin E2 demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect by higher molecular weight ulvan fractions at 100 μg mL⁻¹. To a lesser extent, these fractions also enhanced the LPS-induced inflammation through minor increases of IL-1β and IL-6. This study confirms that ulvan from U. ohnoi has a mild in vitro immunomodulatory effect.
Homogeneity in the distribution of matrix components in the hamster zona pellucida as revealed by backscattered electron imaging fracture‐label (1994)

Our results indicate that BEI-FL can be advantageously used to examine extracellular matrices and are consistent with the concept that glycoproteins are uniformly distributed throughout the ZP of the hamster oocyte.
A stable phosphanyl phosphaketene and its reactivity (2015)

Sodium phosphaethynolate, Na(OCP), reacts with the bulky P-chloro-diazaphosphole yielding a phosphanyl phosphaketene, which is stable for weeks under an inert atmosphere in the solid state. This compound is best described as a tight ion pair with a remarkably long P-P bond distance (2.44 Å). In solution, this phosphaketene dimerizes under loss of CO to give 1,2,3-triphosphabicyclobutane identified by an X-ray diffraction study. As an intermediate, a five-membered heterocyclic diphosphene was trapped in a Diels-Alder reaction with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene. The formation of this intermediate in a hetero-Cope-rearrangement as well as dimerization/CO loss were computed with various DFT methods which allowed us to understand the reaction mechanisms.
Mechanical properties of blood clots – a new test method (2010)

Abstract A blood clot needs to have the right degree of mechanical, chemical and biological properties to stem the flow of blood and yet to be suitable for lytic enzymes or mechanical thrombectomy so as not to form a thrombotic event. The origin and understanding of these mechanical properties are still not known in detail. Clots are made of a three‐dimensional network of fibrin fibers stabilized through ligation with a transglutaminase, factor XIIIa. New methods to achieve information about mechanical properties were established in this work. We performed compressive strength experiments of aged human blood clots. Furthermore after the set up of a new test environment, it was possible to perform tensile strength measurements of aged animal blood clots. Stress strain curves of aged clots were measured and discussed. The viscoelastic properties of the clot material were quantitatively described. This work should make a contribution to a better understanding of the behaviour of aged blood thrombus bulk material and induced mechanical stress. In der Behandlung ischämischer Schlaganfälle sind mechanische, chemische und biologische Eigenschaften von Blutgerinnseln von essentieller Bedeutung und entscheidend über den Erfolg einer Lyse‐Therapie bzw. mechanischer Thrombektomie. Die Einflussfaktoren der Gerinnungsbedingungen auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften sind jedoch bisher noch nicht eingehend untersucht. Aus Schrifttum ist bekannt, dass auf mikrostruktureller Ebene die Blutgerinnsel aus Fibrinfasern, die untereinander in Knotenpunkten verbunden sind und in der Gesamtheit ein dreidimensionales Netzwerk bilden, bestehen. Dabei haben besonders die Faserdicke und die Knotenpunktendichte einen direkten Einfluss auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften eines Thrombus. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden Druck‐ und Zugversuche an Thrombus‐Proben (hergestellt aus humanem bzw. tierischem Blut) durchgeführt und die Messergebnisse hinsichtlich der Gerinnungsbedingungen diskutiert.

P300 Brain-Computer Interface Performance: A dry electrode study (2013)

Abstract — Most brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are based on one of three types of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals: P300s, steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP), and event-related desynchronization (ERD). EEG is typically recorded non-invasively using active or passive electrodes mounted on the human scalp. The common setup requires conductive electrode gel to get the best entrance impedance and noise ratio. However, electrode gel is inconvenient, uncomfortable, and entails setting problems that are especially pronounced when trained users are not available. Some work has introduced dry electrode systems that do not require gel, but often entail reduced comfort and signal quality. The principal goal of this study was to compare the performance of dry vs. gel-based electrodes in a very common BCI system: P300 spelling.

Neocosmospora rubicola, a stem rot disease in potato: Characterization, distribution and management (2022)

Potato (<i>Solanum tuberosum</i> L.) is one of the most important crops in maintaining global food security. Plant stand and yield are affected by production technology, climate, soil type, and biotic factors such as insects and diseases. Numerous fungal diseases including <i>Neocosmospora rubicola, causing stem rot</i>, are known to have negative effects on potato growth and yield quality. The pathogen is known to stunt growth and cause leaf yellowing with grayish-black stems. The infectivity of <i>N. rubicola</i> across a number of crops indicates the need to search for appropriate management approaches. Synthetic pesticides application is a major method to mitigate almost all potato diseases at this time. However, these pesticides significantly contribute to environmental damage and continuous use leads to pesticide resistance by pathogens. Consumers interest in organic products have influenced agronomists to shift toward the use of biologicals in controlling most pathogens, including <i>N. rubicola</i>. This review is an initial effort to carefully examine current and alternative approaches to control <i>N. rubicola</i> that are both environmentally safe and ecologically sound. Therefore, this review aims to draw attention to the <i>N. rubicola</i> distribution and symptomatology, and sustainable management strategies for potato stem rot disease. Applications of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) as bioformulations with synthetic fertilizers have the potential to increase the tuber yield in both healthy and <i>N. rubicola</i> infested soils. Phosphorus and nitrogen applications along with the PGPB can improve plants uptake efficiency and reduce infestation of pathogen leading to increased yield. Therefore, to control <i>N. rubicola</i> infestation, with maximum tuber yield benefits, a pre-application of the biofertilizer is shown as a better option, based on the most recent studies. With the current limited information on the disease, precise screening of the available resistant potato cultivars, developing molecular markers for resistance genes against <i>N. rubicola</i> will assist to reduce spread and virulence of the pathogen.
Firearm Injuries of Children and Adolescents in 2 Colorado Trauma Centers: 2000-2008 (2013)

Given recent firearm-related fatalities combined with declining gun research funding,1 it is important to monitor firearm injuries in youths. Injury death rates are available but provide an incomplete picture of these potentially preventable injuries.2
Pharyngeal and upper esophageal sphincter manometry in humans (1990)

Manometric studies of pharyngeal-upper esophageal sphincter (UES) coordination during swallowing have proven difficult. Asymmetry of the UES makes pressure measurements with a single, unoriented transducer suspect. Perfused systems lack the necessary response rate for measuring peak pharyngeal contraction pressures. Precise quantification of the coordination of pharyngeal contractions and UES relaxations during swallowing is difficult because of rapid pressure changes. We tested a modified solid-state transducer that measures pressures over 360 degrees. This transducer was placed in the proximal UES with a second, single transducer 5 cm proximal. Data were collected and analyzed with an Apple IIe microcomputer. A computer program was developed to measure nine timing sequences, UES resting pressure, nadir of UES relaxation, and pharyngeal contraction pressures. We studied 21 volunteers with six swallows each for dry, 5, 10, and 20 ml of water. Dry swallows differed significantly (P less than 0.05) from wet (5 ml). All timing sequences became progressively longer with increasing bolus size. Residual pressures were unchanged. Timing sequences were also measured for wet (5 ml) and dry swallows in seven volunteers using a Dent sleeve and single perfused orifice in the UES; no differences were seen.
Immunoreactivity of the nuclear antigen p105 is associated with plaques and tangles in Alzheimer's disease. (1993)

The characterization of the patterns of expression of this class of nuclear antigen in the brain might provide important clues as to the mechanisms of plasticity and abnormal growth under normal conditions, as well as in AD.
Breakthrough: micro-electronic photovoltaics (2012)

Sandia developed tiny glitter-sized photovoltaic (PV) cells that could revolutionize solar energy collection. The crystalline silicon micro-PV cells will be cheaper and have greater efficiencies than current PV collectors. Micro-PV cells require relatively little material to form well-controlled, highly efficient devices. Cell fabrication uses common microelectric and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) techniques.

A thunderstorm near Yakutsk on July 1, 2020, according to measurements by three instrumental systems (2022)

In 2009, two lightning location systems were installed in the center of the city of Yakutsk: the sferic sensor of the World wide lightning location network (WWLLN) and single-point lightning direction finder Stormtracker (Boltek Co.). The third system was an electric field mill detector (fluxmeter) EZ NMLS 411124000 (NIRFI UNN). In this paper, we present a preliminary comparative analysis of measurements by three systems of a nighttime thunderstorm on July 1, 2020, in the vicinity of the city at 14–16 UT and a video sequence in a half-hour period around 15 UT.

Residential Baseload Energy Use: Concept and Potential for AMI Customers (2008)

Household electrical baseload is a concept launched by the BRANZ group, while working on the 10 year HEEP end-use load research study in New Zealand. “The baseload1 of a house is the typical lowest power consumption when everything that is usually switched off is off, and was on average (112±4) W. This baseload represents the upper limit for the standby power consumption. ” (Camilleri, M., et al 2006, 9-61). The BRANZ group investigated how much of the “lowest 10-minute period load ” is composed of standby load, and how much is driven by other identifiable causes. This paper endeavours to take this new concept, “baseload”, integrate it with available 15-minute utility load research data, in an attempt to provide tools for the utilization of the new utility advanced metering infrastructure (AMI2) hourly usage data for all residential households. Customers need to see how their dwelling uses energy at various times of the day, and they need to see how well they are doing compared a baseline, such as their neighbours, before investing more effort or money in energy savings. Many utility uses for hourly AMI data have been identified, but to use this data for residential customer information and energy savings guidance is of great importance to BC Hydro.
Transformation Mechanism of the Dehydration of Diaspore (2003)

The dehydration of diaspore to corundum was investigated by means of X‐ray powder diffraction at reaction temperatures (400° and 600°C) as well as by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM studies were performed at the reaction interface of partially dehydrated natural diaspore crystals. The corundum produced consisted of thin dense regions which were separated by nanometer‐sized pores forming lamellae with a periodicity of 3.7 nm. At the reaction front a transition phase (D′) could be detected in electron diffraction patterns. The phase D′ is isotypic to diaspore, but with a larger spacing of the close‐packed (100) oxygen planes ( a D′ from 0.475 to 0.480 nm). The expansion with respect to diaspore is explained by breaking of the hydrogen bonds of diaspore, considered to be the initial step of the transformation. The spacing of the lamellar pore system in corundum is explained by the misfit of the (100) planes of D′ and the (0003) planes of corundum. We conclude that at well‐fitting regions of the closed‐packed planes at the D′/C interface, dense corundum is formed, while at misfitting regions, the formation of corundum is not favored and the pores are produced. Hence, the transformation of the solid phases takes place as a two‐step process, i.e., D → D′→ C.
Degree design of coupled infrastructures (2011)

A recent asymptotic model of cascading failure in two-domain, coupled infrastructures is used to pose and solve a specific degree-distribution design problem. Low-order non-linear analysis exposes the mechanisms by which optimised graphs can form star-like clusters, and suggests why the optimisation is well-behaved numerically. Through computational examples on coupled systems of finite size, we demonstrate that the model assumption of degree independence can be somewhat relaxed, which is significant for geometric connectivity. Further, an assortative heuristic rule that matches degrees across the domain boundary can offer benefits in most finite-size cases.
