P‐138: Driving Waveforms for Reducing Address Discharge Time Lag in an AC PDP with Auxiliary Electrodes

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The address discharge time lag in an AC PDP with auxiliary electrodes was improved by applying auxiliary pulses and a stepped scan pulse during the address period. Interaction between the auxiliary pulse and the stepped scan pulse generated priming particles during the address period, influencing the address discharge positively. As a result, the minimum address voltage was reduced, and was lower than that of conventional driving waveforms. Furthermore, when the proposed waveforms were applied, the address discharge time lag was improved by 32% compared to that of the conventional driving waveforms with the same address voltage.
Brain Responses to Acupuncture Stimulation in the Prosthetic Hand of An Amputee Patient

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

This report describes the brain responses to acupuncture in an upper limb amputee patient. A 62-year-old male had previously undergone a lower left arm amputation following an electrical accident. Using functional MRI, we investigated brain responses to acupuncture stimulation in the aforementioned amputee under three conditions: (a) intact hand, (b) prosthetic hand (used by the patient), and (c) fake fabric hand. The patient described greater de qi sensation when he received acupuncture stimulation in his prosthetic hand compared to a fake hand, with both stimulations performed in a similar manner. We found enhanced brain activation in the insula and sensorimotor cortex in response to acupuncture stimulation in the amputee's prosthetic hand, while there was only minimal activation in the visual cortex in response to acupuncture stimulation in a fake hand. The enhanced brain responses to acupuncture stimulation of the patient's prosthetic hand might be derived from cortical reorganisation, as he has been using his prosthetic hand for over 40 years. Our findings suggest the possible use of acupuncture stimulation in a prosthetic hand as an enhanced sensory feedback mechanism, which may represent a new treatment approach for phantom limb pain.
Removal of Phenol from Oil Mill Effluent Using Activated Carbon Prepared from Kernel Shell in Thailand’s Palm Industry

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The main aim of this study is to treat palm oil mill effluent (POME) containing phenol, which is a hazardous compound, using activated carbon (AC) prepared from palm kernel shell (PKS), one of the byproducts of the palm oil industry. First, PKS from Thailand was characterized by proximate, elemental, and thermogravimetric analyses. The high carbon and low ash contents in the PKS indicated that PKS is a promising precursor for producing AC. Then, palm kernel shell activated carbon (PKSAC) was prepared using chemical activation with orthophosphoric acid as an activating reagent under various conditions. The physical and chemical properties of the PKSACs were characterized using nitrogen adsorption–desorption and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), respectively. Chemical activation improved the yield and physical properties, even as it changed the chemical properties of PKSACs. The PKSACs thus prepared contained large volumes of micropores. Using the prepared PKSACs, batch equilibrium adsorption was conducted to remove phenol from the POME model. The PKSACs could successfully adsorb and remove phenol from the POME model. The phenol adsorption followed the Langmuir model, and the saturated adsorbed amount of phenol increased with increase in surface area. Based on these results, it is concluded that the treatment of POME using PKSACs produced by chemical activation would be a practicable treatment method since the prepared PKSACs provide a high yield and are capable of treating model hazardous compound in POME.
Reversible down-regulation of photosystems I and II leads to fast photosynthesis recovery after long-term drought in Jatropha curcas

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Jatropha curcas is a drought-tolerant plant that maintains its photosynthetic pigments under prolonged drought, and quickly regains its photosynthetic capacity when water is available. It has been reported that drought stress leads to increased thermal dissipation in PSII, but that of PSI has been barely investigated, perhaps due to technical limitations in measuring the PSI absolute quantum yield. In this study, we combined biochemical analysis and spectroscopic measurements using an integrating sphere, and verified that the quantum yields of both photosystems are temporarily down-regulated under drought. We found that the decrease in the quantum yield of PSII was accompanied by a decrease in the core complexes of PSII while light-harvesting complexes are maintained under drought. In addition, in drought-treated plants, we observed a decrease in the absolute quantum yield of PSI as compared with the well-watered control, while the amount of PSI did not change, indicating that non-photochemical quenching occurs in PSI. The down-regulation of both photosystems was quickly lifted in a few days upon re-watering. Our results indicate, that in J. curcas under drought, the down-regulation of both PSII and PSI quantum yield protects the photosynthetic machinery from uncontrolled photodamage.

Insert-Type Hearing protector Stability as a Function of Controlled Jaw Movement

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Samples of five insert-type hearing protectors (three viscose foam, one poly-flanged, and one glass fiber) were evaluated for change in attenuation as a result of 30 min of controlled jaw movement. Protected-ear, narrow-band noise thresholds were obtained at octave intervals (between 0.25 and 4.0 kHz) before and after the jaw-movement activity. Frequency and interaction effects were not significant. Protector effects were significant beyond the 0.01 level of probability that chance caused the observed differences. As a group, the viscose foam protectors were more stable than the others. The most stable protector was E.A.R., and the least stable was Bilsom Soft.
Synergic effect of sulfur and nitrogen on morpho-physiological and biochemical traits of sunflower

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Macronutrients are essential for plant growth and development because they give plants the building blocks, they need to stay healthy and do important biological processes. A completely randomized designed (CRD) pot experiment was done to find out how nitrogen and sulfur affected the morphology and biochemistry of sunflowers. There were three replicates of each treatment: N1 (0), N2 20 kg ha-1 and N3 40 kg ha-1 and sulfur S1 (0), S2 40 kg ha-1 and S3 60 kg ha-1. Sunflower growth and physiology were improved by exogenously applied sulfur and nitrogen to the plant. Root and shoot length, fresh and dry weight, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, plant height, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, total soluble protein, and shoot calcium, potassium, and sodium ions contents all went up compared to the control conditions. Furthermore, sulfur and nitrogen have positive impacts on sunflowers' growth, ionic parameters and there was increase for anthocyanin (24.98%. and 36.66%), ascorbic acid (43.17% and 97.88%), and flavonoid (34.56%. and 112.91%) amounts with the highest levels at 60 kg ha-1 of S and 40 kg ha-1 of N, respectively. There was significant increase in photosynthetic pigments on application of Sulphur (Chl a. :19.15%, Chl b. 52.17%) and Nitrogen (chla. 20.53%, Chl b. 57.16%). Thus, applying sulfur and nitrogen externally to the plant is suggested to boost sunflower growth and chlorophyll levels at different nutritional levels.
Crossbreeding in Swine: Experimental Results

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A review of recent swine crossbreeding experiments is presented and integrated with earlier work. Variation among experiments in observed heterosis for specific crosses was large for reproduction and sow productivity traits. However, standard errors of estimates were also large. It seems likely that heterosis, expressed in absolute values or in percentage units, is different for specific crosses. It is unclear whether these differences are large enough to warrant the use of unique parameter values for comparisons of alternate mating systems. In addition to average heterosis values, average direct and maternal genetic effects are given.

Fossil onychophorans from Dominican and Baltic amber: Tertiapatus dominicanus n.g., n.sp. (Tertiapatidae n.fam.) and Succinipatopsis balticus n.g., n.sp. (Succinipatopsidae n.fam.) with a proposed classification of the subphylum Onychophora

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Tertiapatus dominicanus n.g., n.sp. (Tertiapatidae n.fam.) and Succinipatopsis balticus n.gen., n.sp. (Succinipatopsidae n.fam.) (Lobopodia: Onychophora), the first Tertiary fossils of the Lobopodia, are described from Dominican and Baltic amber, respectively. Both families are characterized by the presence of simple legs lacking foot portions with claws and pads. Tertiapatidae is further characterized by soluble body pigments and oral papillae shorter than the legs. Succinipatopsidae is characterized by non-soluble body pigments and oral papillae longer than the legs. Nomenclatural changes include the erection of the class Udeonychophora n.nom. for terrestrial onychophorans with a ventral mouth, the order Ontonychophora n.nom. for extant onychophorans possessing legs with a differentiated “foot” portion, and the family Helenodoridae n.nom. for the genus Helenodora from the Carboniferous. The biogeographical significance of these fossils and their phylogenetic relationship with previously described onychophorans are discussed.
A duality method in prediction theory of multivariate stationary sequences

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Let W be an integrable positive Hermitian q x q -matrix valued function on the dual group of a discrete abelian group G such that W^{-1} is integrable. Generalizing results of T. Nakazi and of A. G. Miamee and M. Pourahmadi for q=1 we establish a correspondence between trigonometric approximation problems in L^2(W) and certain approximation problems in L^2(W^{-1}). The result is applied to prediction problems for q-variate stationary processes over G, in particular, to the case where G is the group of integers Z.
[Occupational exposure in cancer of the mouth, pharynx and larynx].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The AA. have scheduled a case-control study in order to assess the ambient hazards factors in these cancers, through the evaluation of its occupational risk. The program cover 242 cases of the epidermoid type of carcinoma (positive biopsy), and the group was parallelled with another group of 322 (after the age) admitted at the same Hospital, but affected with several processes. Were excluded the cancer of the lung, bladder, pancreas and kidney because of the causal link with tobacco smokers. In oral and pharyngeal cancer the AA. found out that the workers of high risk were butchers, blacksmiths, masons, drivers, electricians and railwaymen. Regarding the cancer of the larynx mechanics, plumbers, farmers, textile workers and drivers showed the greatest linkage. These findings are in accordance with those published in previous papers.
A subset of centrosomal proteins are arranged in a tubular conformation that is reproduced during centrosome duplication

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The centrosome plays a fundamental role in organizing the interphase cytoskeleton and the mitotic spindle, and its protein complexity is modulated to support these functions. The centrosome must also duplicate itself once during each cell cycle, thus ensuring the formation of a bipolar spindle and its continuity through successive cell divisions. In this study, we have used a battery of antibodies directed against centrosomal components to study the general organization of the centrosome during the cell cycle and during the centrosome duplication process. We demonstrate that a subset of centrosomal proteins are arranged together to form a tubular pattern within the centrosome. The tubular conformation defined by these proteins has a polarity and is closed at one end. The centriole complement of the centrosome is normally placed near this end. We show that the “wall” of the tube is enriched in proteins such as CDC2, ninein, and pericentrin as well as γ-tubulin. In addition, a subset of γ-tubulin is localized to the “lumen” of the tube. We also demonstrate, for the first time, that antibody staining can be used to detect centrosome duplication allowing the identification of duplication intermediates. We show that one product of centrosome duplication is the replication of the tubular structure found within the centrosome. The position of the centriole duplexes prior to and during centrosome duplication is documented and a model of the morphogenesis of the centrosome during the duplication process is proposed.

Visual Aesthetics Of Fashion Brands: The Role Of Visual Framing On Instagram And The Effects On Consumer Buying Behavior

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

With social media platforms on the rise, such as Instagram, a plethora of marketing and branding techniques have been developed in order to capture the consumers’ attention. This study analyzes the visual aesthetics of local fashion brand’s Instagram in Hawaiʻi and how it affects consumer buying behavior. This study borrows concepts from aesthetics, an important component of visual communication, and the theory of framing. However, with the complexity of aesthetics, little research has been done on how it affects consumer buying behavior on Instagram. In my thesis, I conducted a semi-structured in-depth interview with 16 local small fashion brands and 16 fashion consumers. Four themes were derived from the local small fashion brands that examined intangible components of the brand, lifestyle portrayal, tangible facets of branding, and authenticity. Four themes also emerged from the fashion consumer participants that examine intangible feelings from consumers, branding efforts, personal aesthetics, and mixed Instagram aesthetics. Implications of these findings are discussed.
pH-Triggered Strand Exchange in Coiled-Coil Heterotrimers

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The capacity for pH-triggered strand exchange in designed coiled-coil heterotrimers is demonstrated. Systems employing both hydrophobic core (steric matching) and hydrophilic interface (electrostatic matching) design principles assemble into specific 1:1:1 heterotrimers. Alteration of pH creates electrostatic mismatches, inducing strand exchange in the presence of a suitable replacement peptide. Complexes with one Lys/Lys interface, favored at neutral to high pH, can be transformed to ones with a Glu/Glu contact by lowering pH and adding an appropriate new binding partner. The need to simultaneously maintain matched core alignments enforces specificity in this exchange, such that only a single specific peptide is replaced. These principles have subsequently been applied to the design of dynamically triggered cross-linked structures, in which a bifunctional disulfide-tethered peptide can cross-link two heterotrimers. Both formation and disruption of the cross-link are under pH control.
Primary total hip arthroplasty in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Total hip arthroplasty has become a successful way of treating the painful and destroyed hip joint in the patient with rheumatoid arthritis( RA). Two hundred twenty(135 cemented and 85 noncemented) total hip arthroplasties we were performed in 180 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The average age was 48,61 years and the average follow-up was 8,4 years. Clinical evaluation was based on a Harris hip score that showed significant improvement in pain and function preoperatively compared with pain and function at follow-up. There were two deep infections requiring removal of the prosthesis. Four cemented acetabular cups and one cemented femoral component were revised due to aseptic loosening. Three acetabular rings were revised due to aseptic loosening. The relatively inferior results of total hip arthroplasty among RA patients is due not only to fixation method, but also to the poorer bone quality and weakening musculature. The results in these patients suggest that cement less total hip arthroplasty might become a successful way of treating the destroyed hip joint in the patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) structure of Anopheles superpictus populations in IRAN

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Background: Malaria is still one of the main health problems in south and southeast provinces of Iran and recently on average 10,000-30,000 malaria cases were reported annually. Mosquitoes of Anopheles superpictus are one of the main malaria vectors in Iran and have been reported from all areas of the country including central plateau and plains of Alborz and Zagrous Mountains chains, and with low numbers in shore plains of the Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea. There are variations in larval and adult morphological characters and also in vectorial capacity of this species in different areas of Iran. Methods: This study has been conducted to investigate rate of mtDNA variation among various populations of this species in Iran. The sequence variation of an 1512 bp length of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome oxidase subunits 1 and 2 (COI-COII) and an 708 bp sequences of COI gene were analyzed by PCR-RFLP and PCR-direct sequencing respectively. Results: This study showed that there are considerable variations between and within populations. Rate of variation was 12.3 % between populations and this was 2-5% for within Baluchistan population. Totally 4 haplotypes were observed between populations where 3 occur in Baluchistan and one in other places. Conclusion: This is the first report on existence of various haplotypes in An. superpictus in science, and presumably this species comprising siblings and is a species complex. Further studies need to confirm this result and to determine the relationship between mtDNA haplotypes and their role in malaria transmission in each locality.
