Impact of Zinc Supplementation on Intestinal Permeability in Bangladeshi Children with Acute Diarrhoea and Persistent Diarrhoea Syndrome (1992)

Zinc has been shown to enhance intestinal mucosal repair in patients suffering from acrodermatitis enteropathica; but the impact on mucosal integrity during acute (AD) or persistent (PD) diarrhoea is unknown. One hundred eleven children with AD and 190 with PD aged between 3 and 24 months received, randomly and blind to the investigators, either an elemental zinc supplement of 5 mg/kg body wt/day or placebo in multivitamin syrup for 2 weeks while intestinal permeability and, biochemical and anthropometric markers were serially monitored. The permeability test was administered as an oral dose of 5 g lactulose/l g mannitol in a 20-ml solution followed by a 5-h urine collection. The ratio of the urinary probe sugars was correlated to clinical, biochemical, and microbiological parameters. At presentation, lactulose excretion was increased and mannitol excretion decreased in both AD and PD as compared with age-matched asymptomatic children. The lactulose/mannitol ratio (L/M) was higher in subjects with mucosal invasive pathogens (rotavirus and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli) compared with children excreting Vibrio cholera and enterotoxigenic E. coli. Two-week zinc supplementation significantly reduced lactulose excretion in both AD and PD, whereas the change in mannitol excretion and L/M was similar between study groups in both studies. Changes in lactulose excretion were significantly influenced by zinc supplementation in children with E. coli, Shigella sp., and Campylobacter jejuni stool isolates. The greatest reduction in total lactulose excretion was seen in supplemented children who on presentation were lighter (wt/age less than 80%), thinner (wt/ht less than 85%), and undernourished [middle upper arm circumference (MUAC) less than 12.5 cm] or with hypozincaemia (less than 14 mumol/L).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Mutans Streptococci and Caries Prevalence in Children after Early Maternal Caries Prevention: A Follow-Up at 19 Years of Age (2012)

The results indicate that it is possible to remain negative for MS into adulthood if non-colonised at an early age and this affects the development of carious lesions. Strategies for the prevention of dental caries in early childhood should, therefore, include measures to prevent or delay early colonisation by cariogenic bacteria.
A Higher Risk of Acute Rejection of Human Kidney Allografts Can Be Predicted from the Level of CD45RC Expressed by the Recipients’ CD8 T Cells (2013)

Although transplantation is the common treatment for end-stage renal failure, allograft rejection and marked morbidity from the use of immunosuppressive drugs remain important limitations. A major challenge in the field is to identify easy, reliable and noninvasive biomarkers allowing the prediction of deleterious alloreactive immune responses and the tailoring of immunosuppressive therapy in individuals according to the rejection risk. In this study, we first established that the expression of the RC isoform of the CD45 molecule (CD45RC) on CD4 and CD8 T cells from healthy individuals identifies functionally distinct alloreactive T cell subsets that behave differently in terms of proliferation and cytokine secretion. We then investigated whether the frequency of the recipients CD45RC T cell subsets before transplantation would predict acute graft rejection in a cohort of 89 patients who had undergone their first kidney transplantation. We showed that patients exhibiting more than 54.7% of CD8 CD45RC high T cells before transplantation had a 6 fold increased risk of acute kidney graft rejection. In contrast, the proportions of CD4 CD45RC T cells were not predictive. Thus, a higher risk of acute rejection of human kidney allografts can be predicted from the level of CD45RC expressed by the recipients' CD8 T cells.

Treatment of Urinary Incontinence in Children by Endoscopically Directed Bladder Neck Injection of Collagen (1996)

Endoscopically directed injection of collagen around the bladder neck is successful in 64% of children with intrinsic sphincteric deficiency. It is an outpatient treatment with no significant morbidity. Further continence surgery is not precluded when necessary. Patients with adequate capacity and compliant neurogenic bladders, and those with the exstrophy-epispadias complex and failed bladder neck plasty seem to be optimal candidates for collagen injection.

Methyl 2‐Furoate: An Alternative Reagent to Furan for Palladium‐Catalysed Direct Arylation (2011)

Abstract The palladium‐catalysed direct arylation of methyl 2‐furoate with aryl bromides was studied. The use of KOAc as the base, dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as the solvent and Pd(OAc) 2 as the catalyst was found to give 5‐arylfurans regioselectively and without decarboxylation. These methyl 5‐aryl‐2‐furoates gave 2,5‐diarylfurans by decarboxylative coupling by using Pd(OAc) 2 as the catalyst. Methyl 2‐furoate thus represents a convenient alternative substrate to furan for the synthesis of mono‐ or poly‐arylated furans.
A Comparison of the Effects of Intravenous Tramadol, Codeine, and Morphine on Gastric Emptying in Human Volunteers (1998)

We compared the effects of IV tramadol (1.25 mg/kg), codeine (1 mg/kg), morphine (0.125 mg/kg), and saline on gastric emptying in 10 healthy human volunteers using a double-blind, randomized, cross-over design. Subjects received one treatment at each of four sessions, 2 wk apart. Gastric emptying was studied using the paracetamol absorption test. There were significant differences when comparing all treatments for concentration-time data (P = 0.002), peak serum paracetamol concentrations (Cmax; P < 0.001), times at Cmax (Tmax; P = 0.003), and areas under the curves from Time 0 to 360 min (AUC0-360; P = 0.049). Morphine profoundly inhibited gastric emptying. Tramadol had measurable but statistically insignificant inhibitory effects on gastric emptying compared with saline (mean +/- SEM: Cmax 22.4 +/- 2.2 vs 26.8 +/- 2.5 mg/L [P = 0.19], Tmax 33 +/- 5.4 vs 19.5 +/- 2.3 min [P = 0.054] for tramadol versus saline, respectively). Compared with morphine, the Cmax (P < 0.01), Tmax, and AUC0-360 (P < 0.05) values for tramadol were significantly different. The Tmax value for codeine (63.3 +/- 11.7) was greater than that for tramadol (P = 0.034). We conclude that tramadol has a measurable but smaller inhibitory effect on gastric emptying compared with other opioids. Implications: We compared the effect of tramadol, an unconventional opioid painkiller, on stomach emptying with that of codeine and morphine in a human volunteer study. Tramadol had a measurable but smaller effect and may have clinical and economic advantages in acute pain management compared with conventional painkillers. (Anesth Analg 1998;87:445-9)

Metal-backed<i>versus</i>all-polyethylene unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (2017)

AP tibial components display greater volumes of pathologically overstrained cancellous bone than MB implants of the same geometry. Increasing AP thickness does not overcome these pathological forces and comes at the cost of greater bone resection.Cite this article: C. E. H. Scott, M. J. Eaton, R. W. Nutton, F. A. Wade, S. L.

On the Automated Generation of Program Test Data (1976)

Software validation through testing will continue to be a very important tool for ensuring correctness of large scale software systems. Automation of testing tools can greatly enhance their power and reduce testing cost. In this paper, techniques for automated test data generation are discussed. Given a program graph, a set of paths are identified to satisfy some given testing criteria. When a path or a program segment is specified, symbolic execution is used for generating input constraints which define a set of inputs for executing this path or segment. Problems encountered in symbolic execution are discussed. A new approach for resolving array reference ambiguities and a procedure for generating test inputs satisfying input constraints are proposed. References to arrays are recorded in a table. during symbolic execution and ambiguities are resolved when test data are generated to evaluate the subscript expressions. The implementation of a test data generator for Fortran programs incorporating these techniques is also described.
Resilient Distributed Control in the Presence of Misbehaving Agents in Networked Control Systems (2014)

In this paper, we study the problem of reaching a consensus among all the agents in the networked control systems (NCS) in the presence of misbehaving agents. A reputation-based resilient distributed control algorithm is first proposed for the leader-follower consensus network. The proposed algorithm embeds a resilience mechanism that includes four phases (detection, mitigation, identification, and update), into the control process in a distributed manner. At each phase, every agent only uses local and one-hop neighbors' information to identify and isolate the misbehaving agents, and even compensate their effect on the system. We then extend the proposed algorithm to the leaderless consensus network by introducing and adding two recovery schemes (rollback and excitation recovery) into the current framework to guarantee the accurate convergence of the well-behaving agents in NCS. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through case studies in multirobot formation control and wireless sensor networks.

Effect of the amide fragment on 5-HT1A receptor activity of some analogs of MP 3022. (2000)

A new set (3-11) of analogs of MP 3022 (1) containing the amide bond inserted into the intermediate chain linking the terminal heteroaromatic and 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine moieties were prepared and their 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor affinities were determined. Only compounds with trimethylene chain between amide and arylpiperazine fragments (5a, 5b, 7a, 7b and 11) showed satisfactory affinity for 5-HT1A receptor (Ki = 42-87 nM) and high 5-HT2A/5-HT1A selectivity. The new 5-HT1A receptor ligands were investigated in vivo to determine their 5-HT1A agonistic or antagonistic properties. Compounds 7a and 7b with terminal indazole fragment as well as 11 with phenyl substituent behaved like weak 5-HT1A receptor antagonists. The structure-affinity relationship studies in this series of compounds revealed that the amide group along with the terminal aromatic fragments contributed to interaction with 5-HT1A receptor sites, whereas in vivo results indicated that introduction of the amide group into presented arylpiperazine structures was not a profitable modification for their 5-HT1A functional activity.
Marine Air Pollution Control System Development Applying Seawater and Electrolyte (2002)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">This research makes a new attempt to apply the activated seawater by electrolysis in the development of two-stage wet scrubber system to control the exhaust gas of large marine diesel engines. First, with using only seawater that is naturally alkaline (pH typically around 8.1), the SO<sub>2</sub> and SO<sub>3</sub> are absorbed by relatively high solubility compared to other components of exhaust pollutants, and PM (Particulate Matter) is removed through direct contact with sprayed seawater droplets. Besides, the electrolyzed alkaline seawater by electrolysis, which contains mainly NaOH together with alkali metal ions (i.e. Na<sup>+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>), is used as the absorption medium of NOx and CO<sub>2</sub>. Especially, to increase NOx absorption rate into the alkaline seawater, nitric oxide (NO) is adequately oxidized to nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) in the acidic seawater, which means both volume fractions are adjusted to identical proportion.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The results found that the strong acidic seawater was a valid oxidizer from NO to NO<sub>2</sub> and the strong alkaline seawater was effective in CO<sub>2</sub> absorption. In the scrubber test, the SOx reduction of nearly 100% could be achieved and also led to a sufficient PM reduction. Hence, the authors believe that applying seawater and its electrolyte would bring the marine air pollution control system to an economical measure. Additionally, it is well known that NOx and SOx concentration has a considerable influence on the N<sub>2</sub>O emission of green house gas. Although the N<sub>2</sub>O concentration exhausted from diesel engines is not as high, the green house gas effect is around 300 times greater than an equivalent volume of CO<sub>2</sub>. So, we investigated the N<sub>2</sub>O removal efficiency with using the electrolyzed seawater too. Finally, this research would also plan to treat the effluent by applying electro-dialysis and electro-flotation techniques in the future.</div>
Dielectric Anomaly in Mg Doped ZnO Thin Film Deposited by Sol–Gel Method (2010)

Magnesium doped ZnO polycrystalline thin film was deposited on p-type Si by sol–gel method, and the same was annealed at in oxygen rich environment. The magnesium doping in lattice structure of zinc oxide was examined by X-ray diffraction measurements. The dielectric phase transition observed at indicated the existence of ferroelectric properties in the deposited film. The ferroelectricity in the deposited film was confirmed by the polarization and electric field hysteresis curve. Maximum values of the spontaneous polarization and coercive field were found to be and , respectively. The clockwise rotation in capacitance and voltage hysteresis loop of the deposited film on p-type Si indicated that the charge compensation on the Si surface was induced by the ferroelectric polarization. The grain size and microstructure were analyzed by atomic force microscopy.
COS 2 Experiment in Turin: Field Test on an Optical Cable in Ducts (1978)

"COS 2" is the second Italian field trial with an optical cable. In this experiment about 5 km of optical cable were installed in normal telephone ducts of the Turin local network between two telephone exchanges. The cable has a capacity of 8 fibers, but, for cost reasons, in 4 of the 5 km of cable only 3 fibers were inserted. An installation procedure was developed, allowing the independent laying of several cables in one duct; it was possible to pull up to 1 km of optical cable in order to minimize the number of splices. A special splice (Springroove <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">®</sup> splice) and splicing technique, not requiring the use of a microscope or other intricate tools, were employed. Field measurements of transmission characteristics (attenuation and bandwidth) were performed by means of specially designed measurement equipment. An experimental 140 Mbit/s system was tested on a link about 9 km long (without intermediate repeaters) obtained using this cable.

Variable Pitch Approach for Performance Improving of Straight-Bladed VAWT at Rated Tip Speed Ratio (2018)

This paper presents a new variable pitch (VP) approach to increase the peak power coefficient of the straight-bladed vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), by widening the azimuthal angle band of the blade with the highest aerodynamic torque, instead of increasing the highest torque. The new VP-approach provides a curve of pitch angle designed for the blade operating at the rated tip speed ratio (TSR) corresponding to the peak power coefficient of the fixed pitch (FP)-VAWT. The effects of the new approach are exploited by using the double multiple stream tubes (DMST) model and Prandtl’s mathematics to evaluate the blade tip loss. The research describes the effects from six aspects, including the lift, drag, angle of attack (AoA), resultant velocity, torque, and power output, through a comparison between VP-VAWTs and FP-VAWTs working at four TSRs: 4, 4.5, 5, and 5.5. Compared with the FP-blade, the VP-blade has a wider azimuthal zone with the maximum AoA, lift, drag, and torque in the upwind half-cycle, and yields the two new larger maximum values in the downwind half-cycle. The power distribution in the swept area of the turbine changes from an arched shape of the FP-VAWT into the rectangular shape of the VP-VAWT. The new VP-approach markedly widens the highest-performance zone of the blade in a revolution, and ultimately achieves an 18.9% growth of the peak power coefficient of the VAWT at the optimum TSR. Besides achieving this growth, the new pitching method will enhance the performance at TSRs that are higher than current optimal values, and an increase of torque is also generated.
SAFETY AND OPTIMIZATION TRANSFORMATIONS FOR DATA FLOW PROGRAMS (1980)

The data flow concept of computation seeks to achieve high performance by allowing concurrent execution of instructions based on the availability of data. This thesis explores the translation of a subset of the high level languages VAL to data flow graphs. The major problem in performing this translation for the target machine. the Dennis-Misunas data flow computer, stems from the restriction that graph execution sequences place at most one value on any given are at any time. The data/acknowledge are pair transformation is introduced as a means of implementing this required operational behavior. Its effect on data flow graph operation is subsequently explored as it relates to correctness and performance.
