Public attitudes toward cancer pain (1985)

This study examined public attitudes toward pain associated with cancer and its treatment. A variety of issues were assessed, including the extent to which pain is associated with cancer, fear of pain as a factor in the decision to delay seeking treatment, and concerns about the use of narcotic analgesics for pain control. A statewide sample of 496 adult Wisconsin residents completed a telephone interview. It was found that cancer was perceived as an extremely painful disease relative to other medical conditions. Eighteen percent of the respondents reported that they might be reluctant to seek medical attention due to fear of pain. Concerns about disease- and treatment-related pain were rated as significant psychosocial concerns. There were multiple concerns expressed about the consequences of using narcotic analgesics for pain control. Implications for public education and patient management are discussed.
A Survey of Inverse Rendering Problems (2003)

Abstract Inverse rendering problems usually represent extremely complex and costly processes, but their importance in many research areas is well known. In particular, they are of extreme importance in lighting engineering, where potentially costly mistakes usually make it unfeasible to test design decisions on a model. In this survey we present the main ideas behind these kinds of problems, characterize them, and summarize work developed in the area, revealing problems that remain unsolved and possible areas of further research.

Surface Modification of Aramid Fibers by Bio-Inspired Poly(dopamine) and Epoxy Functionalized Silane Grafting (2014)

A novel biomimetic surface modification method for meta-aramid (MPIA) fibers and the improvement on adhesion with rubber matrix was demonstrated. Inspired by the composition of adhesive proteins in mussels, we used dopamine (DOPA) self-polymerization to form thin, surface-adherent poly(dopamine) (PDA) films onto the surface of MPIA fibers simply by immersing MPIA fibers in a dopamine solution at room temperature. An epoxy functionalized silane (KH560) grafting was then carried out on the surface of the poly(dopamine)-coated MPIA, either by a “one-step” or “two-step” method, to introduce an epoxy group onto the MPIA fiber surface. The surface composition and microstructure of the modified MPIA was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicated successful grafting of KH560 on the PDA-coated MPIA surface. A single-fiber pull-out test was applied to evaluate the adhesion of MPIA fibers with the rubber matrix. Compared with the untreated MPIA fibers, the adhesion strength between the modified MPIA fibers by “one step” method with rubber matrix has an increase of 62.5%.
Chemical shift anisotropy and indirect coupling in SnO<sub>2</sub> and SnO (1992)

Abstract The magic angle solid‐state NMR spectra of SnO 2 and SnO were recorded and analysed. The chemical shift tensor anisotropy is much smaller for SnO 2 (136 ppm) than for SnO (975 ppm). Simple calculations suggest that the latter is mainly due to the asymmetry in the valence electron cloud of the tin atom in SnO. An SnSn indirect coupling of 8300 Hz was found in SnO, indicating the possibility of Sn 5s orbitals at the top of the valence band of SnO.

De modo mais preciso e localizado, o artigo propoe mudancas no curriculo e no projeto pedagogico do curso de Artes Cenicas da UFBA. A partir das experiencias do Teatro negro-brasileiro e do metodo retrospectivo e prospectivo que o Teatro Experimental do Negro, a Serie Cadernos Negros e a Filosofia da Ancestralidade nos permitiram arrolar, realizamos uma reflexao sobre a natureza do sistema cultural negro-brasileiro e o seu uso na producao de significados, na producao da existencia, na producao politica e na producao artistica. Neste contexto, partimos do pressuposto de que nao ha unicidade nos objetos da literatura, filosofia e teatro. Igualmente consideramos a pertinencia da pesquisa, da producao e da construcao metodologica no que concerne a construcao de processos formativos de atores, atrizes e encenadores profundamente encruzilhados com o milenar, complexo e dinâmico sistema cultural negro-africano.  Palavras-chave: pedagogia negra; epositemologia negra; artes performaticas; teatro. ____________________________________ ABSTRACT Black pedagogical and epistemic practices aim, in accordance with Law 10.639 / 2003, to renew the historical disciplines, the pedagogical project and above all the curriculum of the Performing Arts. In a more precise and localized way, the article proposes changes in the curriculum and in the pedagogical project of the UFBA Scenic Arts course. From the experiences of the Black-Brazilian Theater and the retrospective and prospective method that the Black Experimental Theater, the Black Notebooks series ande the Ancestral Philosophy allowed us to list,  we reflect on the nature of the Black-Brazilian cultural system and its use in the production of meanings, in the production of existence, in political production, and in artistic production. In this context, we start from the assumption that there is no unicity in the objects of literature, philosophy and theater. We also consider the pertinence of research, production and methodological construction in what concerns the construction of formative processes of actors, actresses and directors deeply crossroads with the millennial, complex and dynamic black African cultural system.

A Nuclear Thermionic Space Power Concept Using Rod Control and Heat Pipes (1968)

A nuclear reactor space power system using out-of-pile thermionic diodes, heat pipes, and a dual central absorber rod type of reactivity control has been studied. Emphasis is placed on the neutronic aspects and general feasibility of the concept. Comparison is made between uranium-233 and -235 nitride and plutonium-239 nitride fuels. From a neutronic standpoint, plutonium-239 nitride is found to be a slightly better fuel than uranium-233 nitride for this fast-spectrum reactor. In this concept, heat is transferred from the reactor core to the thermionic diodes by layers of radial heat pipes stacked alternately with slabs of fuel. For this out-of-pile concept, which would supply ∼130 kW(e), the reactor can be considerably smaller than the equivalent reactor with in-pile diodes. It would be particularly adaptable to a shadow-shielded type of application.
The <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157 Flagellar Regulatory Gene <i>flhC</i> and Not the Flagellin Gene <i>fliC</i> Impacts Colonization of Cattle (2006)

ABSTRACT A virulent European Escherichia coli O157:H − isolate is nonmotile due to a 12-bp deletion in the flagellar regulatory gene flhC . To investigate the contribution of flhC in the relationship between E. coli O157:H7 and cattle, we constructed a similar flhC regulatory mutant in the well-characterized strain ATCC 43894. There was no difference in the growth rate between the wild type and this regulatory mutant, but phenotypic arrays showed substrate utilization differences. Survival in the bovine gastrointestinal tract and colonization of the rectoanal junction mucosa were assessed. Mixtures of both strains were given orally or rectally to steers or administered into the rumen of cattle dually cannulated at the rumen and duodenum. One day post-oral dose, most rectal/fecal isolates (74%) were the regulatory mutant, but by 3 days post-oral dose and throughout the 42-day experiment, ≥80% of the isolates were wild type. Among steers given a rectal application of both strains, wild-type isolates were the majority of isolates recovered on all days. The regulatory mutant survived better than the wild type in both the rumen and duodenum. To test the role of motility, a filament mutant (Δ fliC ) was constructed and similar cattle experiments were performed. On all days post-oral dose, the majority of isolates (64% to 98%) were the filament mutant. In contrast, both strains were recovered equally post-rectal application. Thus, the regulatory mutant survived passage through the bovine gastrointestinal tract better than the wild type but failed to efficiently colonize cattle, and the requirement of flhC for colonization was not dependent on a functional flagellum.
HTLV Type 1 Infection in Squirrel Monkeys ( <i>Saimiri sciureus</i> ): A Promising Animal Model for HTLV Type 1 Human Infection (2000)

We show that the squirrel monkey Saimiri sciureus is susceptible to experimental infection with either syngeneic or allogeneic HTLV-1-immortalized cells. As in humans, such experimental inoculation leads to chronic infection, and HTLV-1 provirus was detected in PBMCs by PCR. Chronically infected monkeys developed high titers of antibodies against the structural proteins of the virus, as do HTLV-1-infected humans. Furthermore, in serially sacrificed squirrel monkeys infected with HTLV-1, proviral DNA was detected at primary phases of infection in PBMCs, spleens, and lymph nodes. Tax/rex mRNA was also detected by RT-PCR in the PBMCs of two monkeys at 12 days after inoculation and in the spleen and lymph nodes of the monkey sacrificed on Day 12. In this animal, scattered HTLV-1-tax/rex mRNA-positive lymphocytes were detected by in situ hybridization in frozen sections of the spleen. These results indicate that PBMCs, spleen, and lymph nodes serve as major reservoirs for HTLV-1 during the early phase of infection. To evaluate the relationship between viral expression and the immune response during infection, humoral and cytotoxic T cell responses (CTL) were studied at various times after inoculation. Antibodies to HTLV-1 were detected 3 weeks after infection and anti-p40Tax and anti-Env CTL activity was detected 2 months after infection and remained detectable thereafter. Our results indicate that the squirrel monkey provides a useful animal model for studying the pathogenesis of HTLV-1 and for evaluating new candidate vaccines.
[An experimental study on airway inflammation and remodeling in a rat model of chronic bronchitis and emphysema]. (2003)

Many inflammatory cells especially neutrophils and alveolar macrophages might play an important role in the airway inflammation of CB and emphysema. Thickening of smooth muscles and collagen in the bronchi and the excessive depositions of extracellular matrix (ECM) constitute the fundamental pathological characteristic of airway remodeling in CB and emphysema. EM may prevent airway inflammation and remodeling to some degree.
Calidad de vida y salud general percibida de pacientes hospitalizados en una entidad de salud en granada (españa) (2012)

Antecedentes: La calidad de vida guarda una estrecha relación con la salud de las personas, por lo que destaca la importancia de profundizar en su conocimiento. Su acercamiento supone considerar factores asociados al contexto social, biológico, psicológico y espiritual del ser humano. El presente estudio pretende analizar la relación entre calidad de vida y salud general percibida de las personas hospitalizadas en unainstitución de Granada, España.Materiales y Métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio de tipo transversal descriptivo. Las personas fueron seleccionadas mediante un muestreo aleatorio estratificado. Seadministró el Perfil de Salud de Nottingham (PSN), que evalúa las dimensiones de energía, dolor, reacciones emocionales, sueño, aislamiento social y movilidad física. Luego de esto, se procedió a calcular un índice de salud general con la suma ponderada de las áreas antes mencionadas.Resultados: En el PSN se obtuvo una puntuación media de salud general de 46,44 (DE: 21,10; IC del 95%, 43,92-48,96). A nivel global hay un deterioro en las áreas que mide el PSN a medida que la salud de las personas hospitalizadas se compromete. Igualmente, existe un empeoramiento de la salud general, conforme se incrementa la edad. Asímismo, las mujeres presentaron un mayor deterioro en la salud generalque los hombres (p = 0.000).Conclusión: Es pertinente priorizar la incorporación de programas salubristas que diseñen intervenciones para las personas que se encuentran en escenarios hospitalarios. Asimismo, se hace necesario incluir terapias anti-álgicas para aumentar lacalidad de vida en esta población.

Real-time Text Analytics Pipeline Using Open-source Big Data Tools (2017)

Real-time text processing systems are required in many domains to quickly identify patterns, trends, sentiments, and insights. Nowadays, social networks, e-commerce stores, blogs, scientific experiments, and server logs are main sources generating huge text data. However, to process huge text data in real time requires building a data processing pipeline. The main challenge in building such pipeline is to minimize latency to process high-throughput data. In this paper, we explain and evaluate our proposed real-time text processing pipeline using open-source big data tools which minimize the latency to process data streams. Our proposed data processing pipeline is based on Apache Kafka for data ingestion, Apache Spark for in-memory data processing, Apache Cassandra for storing processed results, and D3 JavaScript library for visualization. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed pipeline under varying deployment scenarios to perform sentiment analysis using Twitter dataset. Our experimental evaluations show less than a minute latency to process $466,700$ Tweets in $10.7$ minutes when three virtual machines allocated to the proposed pipeline.
The Feasibility of Implementing Videoteleconferencing Systems Aboard Afloat Naval Units (1990)

This study assesses the feasibility of implementing videoteleconferencing systems aboard afloat units to support operational reporting, strategy planning, and intelligence sharing requirements. The information richness that videoteleconferencing (VTC) can provide as a substitute for face-to-face meetings would be extremely valuable to senior afloat commanders, particularly when involved in highly ambiguous situations. This study examines the system components and available commercial and military satellite networks like the Defense Commercial Telecommunications Network that can provide the necessary connectivity with fleet commanders ashore. Afloat user requirements are discussed and illustrated by two peacetime scenarios showing the benefit of using VTC systems. An overview of a proposed VTC system installation is provided to illustrate how a system may be installed within the space and weight limitations aboard ship. Finally, the concept of information richness and the human factors are provided to illustrate why VTC can be a valuable decision support system during critical situations involving afloat units.
Energy Expenditure Comparison Between Walking and Running in Average Fitness Individuals (2012)

Increased energy expenditure (EE) is a key component in maintaining a healthy body mass. Walking and running are 2 common aerobic activities that increase EE above resting values. The purpose of this study was to compare the EE of individuals with average fitness during a walk and run for 1600 meters at 86 m·min(-1) and 160 m·min(-1), respectively. In addition, EE after the walk and run was compared. Fifteen females and 15 males (21.90 ± 2.52 y; 168.89 ± 11.20 cm; 71.01 ± 17.30 kg; 41.51 ± 6.31 ml(-1)·kg(-1)·min(-1)) volunteered to participate. Each participant completed a VO2max test. In addition, oxygen consumption was measured at rest for 10 minutes before exercise, during the walk and run, and after the walk and run for 30 minutes of recovery. EE during exercise was 372.54 ± 78.16 kilojoules for the walk and 471.03 ± 100.67 kilojoules for the run. Total EE including excess postexercise EE was 463.34 ± 80.38 kilojoules and 664.00 ± 149.66 kilojoules for the walk and run, respectively. Postexercise EE returned to resting values 10 minutes after the walk and 15 minutes after the run. Walking and running are both acceptable activities that increase EE above rest and can be performed without the expense of a health club membership and meet adequate kilojoule expenditure according to American College of Sports Medicine guidelines.

Vitamin D supplements with or without calcium to prevent fractures (2014)

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with fractures. This relationship is biologically plausible. The results of 19 randomized clinical trials with vitamin D with or without calcium show varying results: a decreased fracture incidence in 7, neutral in 10 trials, whereas 2 trials with a high dose of vitamin D once per year showed an increased fracture incidence. In three out of four well-powered trials that used recommended doses of vitamin D 700-1000 IU per day, vitamin D supplementation did not significantly influence fracture risk. In one of these trials, a statistically significant fracture reduction was observed in nursing home residents having severe vitamin D deficiency, low calcium intake and good compliance. Thirteen meta-analyses were done, and 11 of these showed a significantly decreased fracture incidence in the supplemented groups. Vitamin D alone was not effective, studies combining vitamin D and calcium showed inconsistent results. Analyses for vertebral fractures were negative in all cases. In conclusion, a vitamin D supplement of 800 IU per day in combination with calcium may decrease the incidence of non-vertebral fractures, especially in persons in the older age groups having low-baseline vitamin D status and low calcium intake and showing good compliance.
