Epidemiología de la anaplasmosis y babesiosis bovina en el valle geográfico del río Cauca (1978)

Se determina la prevalencia de anaplasmosis y babesiosis bovina en 12 fincas del valle geográfico del río Cauca, en Colombia. Para el análisis de los datos, las fincas se distribuyeron de acuerdo al tipo de explotación, así: fincas de explotación lechera, fincas de explotación mixta, fincas de ganadería de carne. Las prevalencias encontradas indican que las enfermedades son endémicas en la zona. Las prevalencias varían según el tipo de explotación y manejo de la finca. Respectivamente, por tipo de explotación, las prevalencias fueron: para Anaplasma marginale, de 45 por ciento, 73 por ciento y 88 por ciento. Para Babesia bigemina de 46.6 por ciento, 62.5 por ciento, y 87.4 por ciento. Para Babesia bovis de 26 por ciento, 65.4 por ciento y 44.4 por ciento. Estos datos indican que en una zona endémica de hemoparásitos, las variaciones en prevalencia están probablemente más relacionadas con factores de manejo que con factores ambientales. El factor que más contribuyó a las bajas tasas de prevalencia a nivel de finca fué el estricto control de garrapatas. Se encontró una relación inversa entre las prevalencias y los problemas de hematozoarios. En las fincas lecheras, la presentación de casos clínicos agudos es mayor, especialmente entre las edades de 1 a 2 años. Se recomienda la vacunación de animales menores de un año en este tipo de explotaciones. En las fincas de carne la presentación de casos clínicos es muy esporádica. Se encontró A. marginale asociado con casos de secadera Se recomienda la investigación del papel que juegan los hemoparásitos en este síndrome
Electromagnetic tomography for brain imaging: Initial assessment for stroke detection (2015)

Electromagnetic Tomography (EMT) is a novel imaging modality with clinically viable potentials, being capable for fast functional imaging. The technology, when matured, might present an effective supplement to current imaging technologies for an assessment of functionality of brain tissue with unique time resolution in a range of dozens of msec together with decent spatial resolution. We have re-designed EMT imaging technology towards brain imaging and developed novel EMT scanner for human brain imaging. The scanner was used in initial clinical studies for diagnostic of stroke. First EMT tomographic human brain imaging results are presented here.
Database Accuracy Effects on Vehicle Positioning as Measured by the Certainty Factor (1991)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Accurate vehicle positioning with respect to a geographical database is fundamental to successful use of in-vehicle navigation systems. In this paper, the authors examine known distortions in the database by their effect on vehicle positioning as measured by the Certainty Factor. The results are shown graphically as a function of distance as the vehicle traverses the distorted region of the database. Three cases are examined using two vehicle positioning algorithms - one more heavily weighted with GPS than the other. A conclusion made is that the Certainty Factor concept is a valid measure for examining database distortions as well as vehicle positioning algorithms.&lt;/div&gt;
Measurement Of Composition In Transparent Model Alloy (1989)

Variation of FTIR technique developed to enable study of growth of cells of different solid phase in unidirectional solidification of these organic mixtures, which serve as transparent anologs of opaque monotectic metal alloys. Study of organic analogs expected to contribute to understanding of formation of aligned rods and particles in directional solidification of metal alloys. Advantage of technique is redistribution of material caused by solidification determined after fact, to very fine scale.

Characterization of Nutrients and Pilot Biofertilizer Production from Food Waste and Dairy Manure Digestates (2021)

Highlights N, P, Ca, and Mg were mainly localized to fine digestate solids (0.45 µm to 1 mm). 50% to 60% of NH 4 + -N was found in digestate solids between 0.45 and 75 µm. K and Na were mainly transferred to the ultrafiltration permeate (&amp;lt;0.45 µm). Mixing of coarse and fine solids can optimize nutrient and salt ratios in products. Abstract . Food waste and dairy manure digestates from commercial digesters were characterized in the lab for particle and nutrient distributions before pilot-scale processing (vibratory screen, ultrafiltration, sun drying) to produce solid and liquid biofertilizer products. Experimental results showed that the elemental compositions of the two digestates were different but shared similarities. The coarse solids of both digestates had lower concentrations of nutrients than the liquid fractions, which contained most of the K and Na. The dairy manure digestate had a higher amount of fine solids between 0.4 and 75 µm than the food waste digestate, but the majority of TKN was contained in the fine solids of both digestates. An optimization analysis concluded that optimal combinations of digestate fractions included over 70% coarse solids to obtain desired nutrient and salt ratios. The solid and liquid fertilizer products derived from the pilot-scale processing were similar to those expected from the lab-scale investigation. Keywords: Biofertilizer formulation, Digestate, Nutrient distribution, Pilot-scale processing, Ultrafiltration, Value-added products.
Ventricular B1+ perturbation at 7 T – real effect or measurement artifact? (2014)

The objective of this work was to explore the origin of local B1 (+) perturbations in the ventricles measured at 7 T. The B1 (+) field in the human brain was mapped using four different MRI techniques: dual refocusing echo acquisition mode (DREAM), actual flip-angle imaging (AFI), saturated double-angle method (SDAM) and Bloch-Siegert shift (BSS). Electromagnetic field simulations of B1 (+) were performed in male and female subject models to assess the dependence of the B1 (+) distribution on the dielectric properties of cerebrospinal fluid and subject anatomy. All four B1 (+) mapping techniques, based on different B1 (+) encoding mechanisms, show 'residual' structure of the ventricles, with a slightly enhanced B1 (+) field in the ventricles. Electromagnetic field simulations indicate that this effect is real and arises from the strong contrast in electrical conductivity between cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue. The simulated results were in good agreement with those obtained in three volunteers. Measured local B1 (+) perturbations in the ventricles at 7 T can be partially explained by the high contrast in electrical conductivity between cerebrospinal fluid and white matter, in addition to effects related to the particular B1 (+) measurement technique used.

Does Profound Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest Improve Survival in Patients With Acute Type A Aortic Dissection? (2002)

Objective No evidence exists that profound hypothermic circulatory arrest (PHCA) improves survival or reduces the likelihood of distal aortic reoperation in patients with acute type A aortic dissection. Methods Records of 307 patients with acute type A aortic dissection from 1967 to 1999 were retrospectively reviewed. The influence of repair using PHCA (n=121) versus without PHCA (n=186) on death and freedom from distal aortic reoperation was analyzed using multivariable Cox regression models. Propensity score analysis identified a subset of 152 comparable patients in 3 quintiles (QIII–V) in which the effects of PHCA (n=113) versus no PHCA (n=39) were further compared. Results For all patients, 30-day, 1-year, and 5-year survival estimates were 81±2%, 74±3%, and 63±3% (±1 SE). Survival rates and actual freedom from distal aortic reoperation was not significantly different between treatment methods in the entire patient cohort nor in the matched patients in quintiles III–V. Treatment method was not associated with differences in early major complications, late survival, or distal aortic reoperation rates in the entire patient sample or in quintiles III–V. Conclusions Aortic repair with or without circulatory arrest was associated with comparable early complications, survival, and distal aortic reoperation rates in patients with acute type A aortic dissection. Despite the lack of concrete evidence favoring the use of PHCA, it does no harm, and most of our group uses PHCA regularly because of its practical technical advantages and theoretical potential merit.
Bacille Calmette-Guérin induces NOD2-dependent nonspecific protection from reinfection via epigenetic reprogramming of monocytes (2012)

Adaptive features of innate immunity, recently described as "trained immunity," have been documented in plants, invertebrate animals, and mice, but not yet in humans. Here we show that bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination in healthy volunteers led not only to a four- to sevenfold increase in the production of IFN-γ, but also to a twofold enhanced release of monocyte-derived cytokines, such as TNF and IL-1β, in response to unrelated bacterial and fungal pathogens. The enhanced function of circulating monocytes persisted for at least 3 mo after vaccination and was accompanied by increased expression of activation markers such as CD11b and Toll-like receptor 4. These training effects were induced through the NOD2 receptor and mediated by increased histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation. In experimental studies, BCG vaccination induced T- and B-lymphocyte-independent protection of severe combined immunodeficiency SCID mice from disseminated candidiasis (100% survival in BCG-vaccinated mice vs. 30% in control mice). In conclusion, BCG induces trained immunity and nonspecific protection from infections through epigenetic reprogramming of innate immune cells.
Consideration of Design Wave for Port Construction according Recent Observation (2008)

The characteristics of swell are estimated by using the observed wave height data classified by wave period range in NOWPHAS (Nationwide Ocean Wave information network for Ports and HarbourS). Estimated characteristics demonstrate that the direction of swell is approximately derived by using the location of typhoon. As a result of directional spectrum analysis, the design condition for swell are expressed as JONSWAP spectrum with wave angle spreading parameter Smax = 50 ~ 75.
A fast block-based motion compensation video frame interpolation approach (2005)

Skipped video frame reconstruction has been investigated under the limit of network bandwidth and media storage capability. One scenario is video conferencing, where frames are skipped to meet the transmission bandwidth which ends up with a jerky sequence. In this paper, the authors propose a new motion compensated frame rate up-conversion algorithm. Unlike the conventional approaches, the proposed technique investigates the quality and complexity tradeoff of a modified block based motion-compensated interpolation scheme. The time complexities are measured with respect to the quality of reconstructed video sequences by changing various thresholds. Empirical results demonstrate superiority of the proposed improvement.
Fluorous‐Assisted One‐Pot Oligosaccharide Synthesis (2010)

A new method for oligosaccharide assembly that combines the advantages of one-pot synthesis and fluorous separation is described. After one-pot glycosylations are completed, a fluorous tag is introduced into the reaction mixture to selectively "catch" the desired oligosaccharide, which is rapidly separated from non-fluorous impurities by fluorous solid-phase extraction (F-SPE). Subsequent "release" of the fluo rous tag and F-SPE achieved the purification of the desired oligosaccharide without the use of time- and solvent-consuming silica gel chromatography. Linear and branched oligosaccharides have been synthesized with this approach in just a few hours (for the overall oligosaccharide assembly and purification process).
A Roadmap to Implementing Metal–Organic Frameworks in Electronic Devices: Challenges and Critical Directions (2011)

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and related material classes are attracting considerable attention for applications such as gas storage, separations, and catalysis. In contrast, research focused on potential uses in electronic devices is in its infancy. Several sensing concepts in which the tailorable chemistry of MOFs is used to enhance sensitivity or provide chemical specificity have been demonstrated, but in only a few cases are MOFs an integral part of an actual device. The synthesis of a few electrically conducting MOFs and their known structural flexibility suggest that MOF-based electronic devices exploiting these properties could be constructed. It is clear, however, that new fabrication methods are required to take advantage of the unique properties of MOFs and extend their use to the realms of electronic circuitry. In this Concepts article, we describe the basic functional elements needed to fabricate electronic devices and summarize the current state of relevant MOF research, and then review recent work in which MOFs serve as active components in electronic devices. Finally, we propose a high-level roadmap for device-related MOF research, the objective of which is to stimulate thinking within the MOF community concerning the development these materials for applications including sensing, photonics, and microelectronics.

The normal distributions transform: a new approach to laser scan matching (2004)

Matching 2D range scans is a basic component of many localization and mapping algorithms. Most scan match algorithms require finding correspondences between the used features, i.e. points or lines. We propose an alternative representation for a range scan, the normal distributions transform. Similar to an occupancy grid, we subdivide the 2D plane into cells. To each cell, we assign a normal distribution, which locally models the probability of measuring a point. The result of the transform is a piecewise continuous and differentiable probability density, that can be used to match another scan using Newton's algorithm. Thereby, no explicit correspondences have to be established. We present the algorithm in detail and show the application to relative position tracking and simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM). First results on real data demonstrate, that the algorithm is capable to map unmodified indoor environments reliable and in real time, even without using odometry data.
Effect of Alloy States on the Recrystallization Behavior in Single Crystal Superalloy (2013)

Recrystallization behavior after indentation loading and heat treatment at different temperatures of the as-cast and solution-treated alloy was investigated. The results showed that slip deformation occurred in the as-cast and heat treated samples after deformation and apparent slip line can be observed. Slip lines of heat treatment state was significantly more than that of the as-cast samples. Neither equiaxed nor cellular recrystallization occurred in the surface of the as-cast and solution-treated samples after heat treatment at 1120; Slip traces were examined in the vicinity of indentation and M 6 C carbide precipitated on the slip line in heat-treated samples, while cellular recrystallization occurred in the internal part and MC carbides became the nucleation centers. Equiaxed recrystallization occurred simultaneously in samples of the two states with the heat treatment at 1310 after deformation and the recrystallization area increased with the processing time; after heat treatment with same time and temperature, recrystallization area of the cast samples were less than that of heat-treated samples.
Effect of radial flow on deviations from local equilibrium during sorbing solute transport through homogeneous soils (1986)

Several laboratory and theoretical studies of sorbing solute transport through one‐dimensional homogeneous soil columns have recently addressed the validity of the local chemical equilibrium assumption (LEA).This paper extends previous theoretical results to the case of ideal radial flow in homogeneous aquifers. Sorption kinetics are assumed to follow a first‐order reversible rate law. Two sample problems are considered: one involves injection of a contaminant pulse into a diverging radial flow field; the other, extraction of polluted groundwater by a purge well in a converging radial flow field. An analytical time moment analysis is performed to derive formulas for solute breakthrough curve time moments. Comparison of time moment formulas for the kinetic and equilibrium models leads to the definition of criteria for LEA validity. These criteria explicitly show the effect of basic system parameters (e.g., pumping rate, dispersion coefficient, distribution coefficient, reaction rate coefficient) upon deviations from equilibrium behavior. For the case of converging radial flow, formulas are derived to calculate the impact of desorption kinetics upon the time required for aquifer decontamination. The results also show that significant nonequilibrium effects are confined to the vicinity close to the injection‐extraction wells.

Evaluation de méthodes de segmentation bayésiennes pour l'imagerie TEP en oncologie (2007)

This study deals with statistical segmentation methodologies for functional volume determination in PET imaging for oncology applications like radiotherapy. We present here a performance study of various Bayesian approaches (local and global, hard and fuzzy) that were validated using simulated data and that are here confirmed using real acquisitions of the IEC phantom. Results show that the local fuzzy approach is the best one with respect to the reference thresholding method and other Bayesian approaches.

Beating stiff track (2013)

A method being used by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, in order to detect variations in track stiffness is profiled in this article. These variations can lead to severe infrastructure problems and can be a time-consuming and expensive problem to identify. This new method is improving the cost effectiveness of detection. This method combines the more expensive tests from specialized machines with those already carried out for measuring track geometry by a track recording car. Details of the method are presented here.
