Water quality aspects of optimal operation of rural water distribution systems for supply of irrigation and drinking water (2004)

Abstract This paper considers the control of quality in rural water supply systems by means of dilution and treatment plants. Diverse quality sources can be used to supply consumers with differing quality requirements, such as irrigation of agricultural crops with differing water quality tolerance levels, domestic requirements at drinking water standards, and industrial and municipal uses. Models for optimal operations of such systems are difficult to develop due to the complexity of formulating dilution conditions at junctions as functions, for which the derivative can be calculated (because the flow directions at incident pipes change as the solution procedure progresses); strong scaling effects due to the treatment plants; and the presence of several water quality parameters. The model presented here solves the operation problem for a single period under steady state conditions. The formulation is simplified by representing the hydraulics by a conveyance cost in each pipe with bounds on the maximum allowed discharges (the authors have also developed a model that includes the hydraulics explicitly). The model is therefore suited both to canal and pipe systems for supply of irrigation and drinking water. Improvement of water quality by treatment plants located at the supply system is also considered here. This improvement has been achieved by lowering the concentration of conservative substances (those whose concentration remain time invariant) in the water only such as in the reverse osmosis process. The applicability of the model to practical situations is demonstrated by a case study of a regional rural water supply system with 39 pipes and 37 nodes (of which 11 are source nodes with different qualities, 10 are agricultural consumers with different quality requirements, and 4 are domestic consumers requiring high quality drinking water). The model determines the optimal discharges in all pipes, values of quality parameters at consumer nodes, and removal ratios of the treatment plants. Three cases were studied: (1) a single water quality parameter (salinity) without treatment plants; (2) three quality parameters (salinity, sulphur, and magnesium) without treatment plants; and (3) three quality parameters and eight treatment plants, each located at a different source node. Water quality requirements are represented by constraints on the maximum allowable concentrations at consumer nodes, and, for the case of irrigation, a crop yield function that relates yield loss to salinity. The value of the objective function for Case 3 was 10% lower than for the other cases due to savings in yield loss at the agricultural consumers that were obtained by improvement of the quality of the irrigation water.

Coexistence of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and crescentic IgA nephropathy treated with eculizumab: a case report (2016)

Rapid progression to end-stage renal disease has been reported in a minority of patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. In particular, crescentic IgA nephropathy has a poor prognosis in patients with a higher initial serum creatinine level. The complement system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of crescentic IgA nephropathy. Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), which is characterized by thrombotic microangiopathy, is distinct from Shigatoxin-induced HUS and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. aHUS is associated with dysregulation of the alternative complement system. Eculizumab, an anti-C5 antibody, is effective in limiting complement activation in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, aHUS, or refractory IgA nephropathy in some case reports. We herein report the case of a 42-year-old man with acute kidney injury (AKI) clinically and histologically diagnosed with the coexistence of aHUS and crescentic IgA nephropathy. The patient was treated with steroids, plasmapheresis, and hemodialysis; however, eculizumab treatment was initiated on hospital day 21 due to resistance to and dependence on the conventional aggressive therapy. Clinical remission of aHUS was achieved on day 70, but the renal function failed to recover from dialysis dependence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report showing the clinical course of a refractory patient with the coexistence of aHUS and crescentic IgA nephropathy treated with eculizumab. This case highlights the clinical importance of early diagnosis and appropriate initiation of eculizumab for the treatment of this type of AKI.

Coiled-Tubing Drilling: Continued Performance Improvement in Alaska (2002)

Summary Coiled-tubing drilling (CTD) has thrived in recent years on the North Slope of Alaska. To date, CTD has sidetracked more than 250 wells in a continuous program of activity since 1995. In that time, Alaska has become a proving ground for CTD tools and techniques. CTD has matured into a highly efficient and economical means of sidetracking wells on the North Slope. Key reasons for the success of the program include continuous use, which allows rapid learning; a culture of technical innovation; effective performance-based service contracts; the right people with the right expertise; and the vision and support of senior management. This paper summarizes the performance improvements realized in North Slope CTD operations, detailing how the tools and techniques have changed. Applying new technologies and improving existing tools are major levers of CTD progress. Major performance improvement areas include window milling, bottomhole assembly (BHA) reliability, and lost circulation. Reliability improvements in equipment and persistent innovation will continue to fuel CTD's underlying economic performance in Alaska. Included in this paper is a discussion of the remaining problems associated with through-tubing, slim-hole drilling with CTD technology. Examples of new CTD technologies being used or about to be implemented in Alaska will also be presented.

Analysis and Optimization of an Electronic Throttle for Linear Operating Modes (2002)

Electronic throttles are increasingly being used in automotive systems in order to improve vehicle driveability, fuel economy, and emissions. The paper presents an analysis of the electronic throttle body linear model. The analysis results in simplifications of the process model structure and controller optimization procedure. A method of identification of the simplified process model is outlined. A linear feedback/feedforward throttle position controller is algebraically optimized according to the damping optimum. The linear controller is extended with a gain scheduling algorithm, in order to deal with different process parameters for the regions below and above the limp-home position. The proposed controller represents a core of the overall nonlinear electronic throttle control strategy which also includes friction and limp-home compensators. The designed control system is examined by computer simulation and experiment.
A single-base substitution within an intronic repetitive element causes dominant retinitis pigmentosa with reduced penetrance (2009)

We report the study of a large American family displaying autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa with reduced penetrance, a form of hereditary retinal degeneration. Although the inheritance pattern and previous linkage mapping pointed to the involvement of the PRPF31 gene, extensive screening of all its exons and their boundaries failed in the past to reveal any mutation. In this work, we sequenced the entire PRPF31 genomic region by both the classical Sanger method and ultrahigh throughput (UHT) sequencing. Among the many variants identified, a single-base substitution (c.1374+654C>G) located deep within intron 13 and inside a repetitive DNA element was common to all patients and obligate asymptomatic carriers. This change created a new splice donor site leading to the synthesis of two mutant PRPF31 isoforms, degraded by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As a consequence, amounts of PRPF31 mRNA derived from the mutant allele were very reduced, with no evidence of mutant proteins being synthesized. Our results indicate that c.1374+654C>G causes retinitis pigmentosa via haploinsufficiency, similar to the vast majority of PRPF31 mutations described so far. We discuss the potential of UHT sequencing technologies in mutation screening and the continued identification of pathogenic splicing mutations buried deep within intronic regions.
Schedule Optimization for Cash Flow Management of Owner Portfolios (2023)

Although new infrastructure has been widespread in many countries, the owners' main obstacle to complete new projects has been the cash flow problems.If cash flow problems are not appropriately addressed, projects will undoubtedly fail.The current study's goal is to help portfolio owners to avoid cash flow problems and achieve portfolios' goals.A modified finance-based scheduling method is proposed to optimize project schedules within owners' portfolios using genetic algorithms (GA).Finance-based scheduling helps owners to control portfolios' cash flow by balancing contractors' payouts during the fiscal years with the available budget amounts.The random key (RK) representation system of GA is used effectively to implement finance-based scheduling for multiple projects simultaneously.
Effects of phase separation on the mechanical properties of polystyrene/poly(vinyl methyl ether) blends (1991)

Abstract The effects of phase separation temperature and time on the tensile, dynamic mechanical, and tear properties of blends of polystyrene and poly(vinyl methyl ether) were investigated after phase separation above their respective cloud points with specified temperature‐annealing time protocols. The results are analyzed in terms of the phase connectivity, interfacial adhesion, and changes in the glass transition temperature.
International Rice Research Institute, Los Baños, Philippines (1999)

A system for agroinoculating rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV), one of the two viruses of the rice tungro disease complex, has been optimised. A nontumour‐inducing strain of Agrobacterium (pGV3850) was used in order to conform with biosafety regulations. Fourteen‐day‐old seedlings survived the mechanical damage of the technique and were still young enough to support virus replication. The level of the bacterial inoculum was important to obtain maximum infection, with a high inoculum level (0.5 × 10 12 cells/ml) resulting in up to 100% infection of a susceptible variety that was comparable with infection by insect transmission. Agroinoculation with RTBV was successful for all three rice cultivarss tested; TN1 (tungro susceptible), Balimau Putih (tungro tolerant), and IR26 (RTSV and vector resistant). Agroinoculation enables resistance to RTBV to be distinguished from resistance to the leafhopper vector of the virus, and should prove useful in screening rice germplasm, breeding materials, and transgenic rice lines.
Human erythrocyte band 3 polymorphism (band 3 Memphis): characterization of the structural modification (Lys 56----Glu) by protein chemistry methods (1991)

Band 3 variants occur rather frequently in different populations. Based on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide electrophoretic properties, a widespread polymorphism (band 3 Memphis) has been previously described. It corresponds to a protein that has been hypothesized to be elongated in its N-terminal cytoplasmic domain. Band 3 from a heterozygote subject for this polymorphism and that displays a normal reactivity towards stilbene disulfonates has been isolated and its primary structure determined by protein chemistry. Reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography tryptic peptide mapping showed, as the only difference with controls, that the enzymatic cleavage between the two N-terminal peptides did not occur, yielding a 69 residue-long fragment. Further cleavages of this peptide (cyanogen bromide, V8 protease), amino acid composition, and sequence analyses demonstrated that the lysine at position 56 was replaced by a glutamic acid. Thus, surprisingly, a single amino acid change is responsible for the large difference in the electrophoretic behavior. This result suggests that single amino acid substitutions may similarly be involved in the structural modification of several other protein variants, described as elongated or shortened based only on SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis studies. When deletions/insertions were confirmed by sequence analysis, their extent was often different from that expected from electrophoresis.
Computations of multispecies mixing between scramjet nozzle flow andhypersonic freestream (1992)

The objective of this paper is to compute the expansion of a supersonic flow through an internal-external nozzle and its viscous mixing with the hypersonic flow of air. The supersonic jet may be that of a multispecies gas other than air. Calculations are performed for one case where both flows are those of air, and another case where a mixture of freon-12 and argon is discharged supersonically to mix with the hypersonic airflow. Comparisons are made between these two cases with respect to gas compositions, and fixed versus flow-adaptive grids. All the computational results are compared successfully with the wind-tunnel tests results.

Effects of Sensitization Heat Treatment on SCC of Type 316L Stainless Steel in Hot Lithium Hydroxide Solution (1993)

This paper describes the effect of extended sensitization heat treatment (650°C) and applied potential on the corrosion behavior and the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of low-carbon AISI 316L (UNS S31603) stainless steel (0.02%C) in a concentrated lithium hydroxide solution at 95°C. The results are compared to the behavior of solution-annealed material under the same conditions. In general, there is a fairly clear effect of prolonged heat treatment times on the material, and its susceptibility to intergranular attack (IGA) and SCC, as determined in slow strain rate tests, increases with increasing times of sensitization heat treatment. When the heat treatment extends to 100 h or more, the potential range in which IGA is observed extends to lower potentials (–300 mV SCE, open-circuit conditions) compared to the solution-annealed material. On the other hand, SCC is observed on both materials in approximately the same potential ranges (i.e., above approximately –100 mV SCE). However, both intergranular and transgranular cracking occur with the heat-treated specimens. Moreover, transgranular SCC, not intergranular SCC, is even the predominant fracture mode when the heat treatment time is increased to 200 h, if the applied potential is sufficiently high (+100 mV SCE). No such phenomenon has been observed with the solution-annealed material. A possible explanation for these different results and for the effects of sensitization treatment is provided based on the electrochemical and the surface-chemical behavior of the alloy.
Electron microscope characterization of AgBr heterojunctions with silver carboxylates and their influence on the morphology of developed silver particles in thermally developed photomaterials (1998)

Silver halide crystals formed during in situ treatment of silver stearate crystals with various halidizing agents are observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy to form on the lateral edges of the silver carboxylate crystals. The location of the silver halide phase on the crystal edge is dictated by the anisotropic structure of the silver stearate crystal lattice, specifically, the layered structure in which silver ion layers are separated by long-chain hydrocarbon groups. The formation of AgBr on the lateral faces of these crystals is proposed to be typical not only of the formation of silver halide on silver stearate but also for all silver carboxylates of the general formula [AgCnH2n-1O2]2 when the crystals of these silver carboxylates have anisotropic, layered structures. The silver bromide/silver carboxylate heterojunction in an in situ system has been clearly observed by transmission electron microscopy. The heterojunction is comprised of a distorted silver carboxylate lattice, which accommodates the misalignment between the AgBr and [Ag(O2CR)]2 crystal lattices. The nature of heterojunction between the AgBr and the silver carboxylate when the AgBr is prepared separately from the preparation of the silver carboxylate differs from the in situ heterojunction. In this case, a layered compound, proposed to have a Ag1-xNaxSt composition, forms between the AgBr and the silver stearate which is a unique feature of this interface. The differences in the structure of interfaces formed between the silver halide and the silver fatty acid complex result in different silver particle morphologies during thermal development of exposed photothermographic films. The developed silver is generally filamentary when the photothermographic material contains silver halide prepared by the in situ exchange reaction between silver carboxylate and a brominating agent. If the photothermographic material is prepared from previously synthesized silver halide crystals, the preformed AgBr route, the developed silver generally crystallizes as dendritic crystals.

Abstract 27: Galectin-3 Binding Protein: A New Factor Promoting Venous Thrombosis (2012)

Galectin-3 binding protein (Gal-3BP) was detected in procoagulant microparticles from mice and patients with venous thrombosis (VT), in prior studies from our laboratory. However, the mechanistic role of Gal-3BP and Galactin-3 (Gal-3) in the pathophysiology of thrombosis is unknown. Our hypothesis is that Gal-3BP and Gal-3 are critical to thrombus formation. Methods: Mice : Using our inferior vena cava ligation mouse model of VT, microparticle samples from thrombosed and non-thrombosed wild type mice were analyzed for Gal-3BP. We then either neutralized Gal-3BP, using an antibody (Anti-M-Gal-3BP), or utilized Gal-3 knock-out (Gal-3 KO) mice, compared to mice given saline as controls (NaCl). We evaluated thrombus weight (TW), inflammatory cell counts, and the cell source of the molecules Gal-3BP and Gal-3 using western blot. Patients: Microparticles and plasma samples from patients who were positive or negative for VT were tested for Gal-3BP using ELISA. Results: Mice : Two days after thrombosis, blocking Gal-3BP significantly reduced both vein wall inflammatory cells ( p =0.0369) and TW ( p =0.0024), compared to NaCl. In Gal-3 KO mice, TW was significantly smaller versus controls ( p =0.0061). We found Gal-3BP on microparticles and platelets while Gal-3 was on monocytes. Patients : Gal-3BP was significantly elevated in microparticles ( p =0.0495) and in plasma ( p =0.0400), versus patients negative for VT. Conclusions: We demonstrated a clear link between Gal-3BP and VT, in both mice and patients. This is the first time that Gal-3BP has been shown to be involved with thrombus formation, making it a promising biomarker and potential target for therapeutic interventions of VT.

Lung Vascular Targeting Using Antibody to Aminopeptidase P: CT-SPECT Imaging, Biodistribution and Pharmacokinetic Analysis (2010)

These data show that APP expressed in endothelial caveolae appears to be readily accessible to circulating antibody rather specifically in lung. Targeting lung-specific caveolar APP provides an extraordinarily rapid and specific means to target pulmonary vasculature and potentially deliver therapeutic agents into the lung tissue.
