Study on improvement of design method for airport flexible pavement in Vietnam

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Presently, there are 22 airports in operation comprising of 9 international airports and 13 domestic airports in Vietnam. According to the master plan of airports national wide, there are 124 airports and aerodromes both civil airports and military airfield. Design of airport flexible pavement is an important step during design the airport runway and taxi. Currently airport flexible pavement in Vietnam designs based on Vietnamese national standards, American standards and Russian standards. However, these standards have some issues such as design load, effect depth of the aircraft load, relative deflection caused by the aircraft and critical relative deflection. Therefore, this research points out improper issues that is not compatible with current practices of increase in airplane total weight. It also clarifies unfavorable effects of existing flexible pavement design method to the performance of runway pavement in some airports in Vietnam. Some technical measures are proposed for improvement of the current flexible pavement design standards and specifications are also recommended.
Dynamics of coupled topological solitons in a weakly coupled discrete sine-Gordon system with local impurities

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The authors study the dynamics of kinks and/or antikinks in two weakly coupled discrete sine-Gordon chains with local impurities. They use the Lagrangian formalism to derive the effective equations of motion for the soliton coordinates, which takes into account the inhomogeneities, the discreteness of the lattice and the coupling between chains. It appears that the repulsive or the attractive character of the impurities depends on the soliton polarities and on competition between the impurities related to the elastic constants, the substrate potential barriers and the coupling between the chains. Conditions for the reflection and the attraction of low-velocity kink-kink, kink-antikink and antikink-antikink pairs are obtained and the threshold velocities for soliton reflection by impurities are derived.

Properties of Internal Water Exchange in Leaves ofIlex opacaAit. andCornus floridaL.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

<sec> Resistances, capacitances, and time constants for internal water transfer were estimated in leaves from naturally-occurring individuals of <it>Ilex opaca</it> Ait. and <it>Cornus florida</it> L., both common under-story tree species in the North Carolina piedmont deciduous forest. The water exchange properties depended strongly on the current water status of the leaf tissue. Resistance to water transfer from leaf storage sites, capacitance of storage sites, and the time constant for transfer of water out of storage sites all increased as tissue water deficits developed. The exchange properties were determined over a range of leaf water potentials which the plants typically experienced in the field. The measured responses are viewed as properties integrally associated with other aspects of water transfer elsewhere in the plant and in the soil and atmosphere, and may be significant in determining leaf water deficits under a fluctuating environment. </sec>

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Berna Dogan,1 Muhammet Kazim Erol,1 Devrim Toslak,1 Deniz Turgut Coban,1 Mehmet Bulut,1 Ayse Cengiz,1 Esin Sogutlu Sari2 1Antalya Training and Research Hospital, Eye Clinic, Antalya, Turkey; 2Balikesir University Medicine Faculty, Eye Clinic, Balikesir, Turkey Abstract: Bone marrow-derived multiple myeloma is a type of plasma cell tumor that may be associated with ocular complications. A 52-year-old male patient was admitted to our eye clinic with the complaint of sudden visual loss and a visual acuity of 20/50 in the right eye and 20/800 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed common flame-shaped hemorrhages, venous dilatation and tortuosity, Roth spots, serous macular detachment, and yellow macular deposits in both eyes. Evaluation with fundus fluorescein angiography, fundus autofluorescence, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography resulted in suspicion of hyperviscosity retinopathy and referral to the hematology clinic. After hematology consultation confirmed a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, chemotherapy and plasmapheresis were initiated. Four months after presentation, best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes and improvement in hyperviscosity retinopathy, serous macular detachment, and yellow macular deposits was observed. Keywords: serous macular detachment, yellow macular deposit, prominent middle limiting membrane, multiple myeloma
Effect of pix regulator on vegetative growth of cotton plant

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In this research pix effect as plant growth regulators on growth parameters of cotton plant were evaluated. Cotton seeds (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv Ci-Ocra) were planted under pots condition in photoperiods 20 ± 2 oC and 14– h light /10 –h dark. After 80 days, pix was sprayed in different concentrations include 0 (control), 0.5,1, 1.5, 2 L.ha-1 twice within ten days on shoot of cotton plants. Three weeks after spraying were separated root from shoot and growth parameters were determined. The results showed that pix different treatments decreased stem length, leaf number and leaf area in comparison with control .Also pix in higher concentration reduced shoot to root rate, nodes number. Our data showed pix application in concentration 2 L.ha-1 increased fresh and dry weight in leaf cotton. Parameters as root length, fresh and dry weight of stem and root did not change significantly at different concentrations of pix.
Tinjauan Skizofrenia Secara Psikoneuroimunologi

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that indicates a mental disorder characterized by abnormal perception or disturbances regarding reality. A number of abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia have been linked to the field of psychoneuroimmunology. Schizophrenia occurs due to various factors (multifactorial), including genetic factors, environment and neurological abnormalities. Psychologically, schizophrenia occurs due to a mismatch between affection, cognition and behavior. Neurologically, in schizophrenia there is overactivity of the dopaminergic system, in the main dopamine pathway, namely in the mesolimbic, mesocortex, nigrostriatal and tuberoinfundibular, as well as increased serotonergic activity. Meanwhile, immunologically, schizophrenia occurs due to changes in microglia activity which affects the immune response and an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines. The clinical manifestations of schizophrenia consist of 3 categories of symptoms, in the form of positive symptoms, negative symptoms and cognitive symptoms/interpersonal relationship disorders. Management of schizophrenia is carried out comprehensively with pharmacological antipsychotic treatment and psychosocial therapy which aims to improve quality of life and reduce morbidity and mortality of the disease.
Sialic acid utilization by bacterial pathogens

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Sialic acid occupies the terminal position within glycan molecules on the surfaces of many vertebrate cells, where it functions in diverse cellular processes such as intercellular adhesion and cell signalling. Pathogenic bacteria have evolved to use this molecule beneficially in at least two different ways: they can coat themselves in sialic acid, providing resistance to components of the host's innate immune response, or they can use it as a nutrient. Sialic acid itself is either synthesized de novo by these bacteria or scavenged directly from the host. In this mini-review we will summarize recent findings relating to sialic acid transport, modification of sialic acid by O-acetylation, and the mechanisms of sialic acid-mediated complement resistance.
Clergy in Politics: The Opportunistic Engagement of Faith-Based Organisations in Malawi’s Politics

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Malawi is a profoundly religious society and faith-based organisations ( FBO s) play a significant role in politics, addressing social concerns and governance. This article investigates their role in Malawi’s political realm when engaging with the state and argues that the FBO s are opportunistic in their engagement. They seize upon opportunities for exerting influence when political and social issues dictate that action be taken in accordance with religious tenets of social responsibility, in tandem with fluctuating levels of political tension. Typical high points of tension are elections, but other controversial issues may also feature prominently. FBO s consider suitable entry points and tools of advocacy at their disposal within existing opportunity structures. As organised religion, we find that faith communities have engaged and continue to engage with the political establishment through various means, predominantly by issuing pastoral letters and statements.
On the use and improvement of Hull and White's control variate technique

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

A study of the use and improvement of Hull and White's (1988) control variate technique in pricing options is provided. It contributes to the literature in two ways. First it is shown that it is not optimal to use the entire error of a control variate against its known price (usually a closed-form solution) to correct and improve the unknown error of the unknown price of a complex option and a better error correction fraction is derived. Secondly, while Hull and White only advocated the use of the simplest European option control variate, it is shown how to choose better controls to reduce pricing errors more effectively and the role of so called static hedges as the best theoretical control variates is discussed.
Petromagnetic Study of Igneous Rocks of the Taitao Ridge, Chile Triple Junction, Site 862

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

This paper reports and discusses the petromagnetic (i.e., rock magnetic) properties and chemical compositions of titanomagnetites occurring within a bimodal suite of late Pliocene volcanic rocks obtained from the Taitao Ridge, at Site 862 in the Chile Triple Junction region.The results indicate a marked contrast in magmatic sources, as well as in the cooling and alteration histories for the silicic and basaltic lavas.Basaltic units have petromagnetic and chemical characteristics generally consistent with a mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) affinity, and show systematic differences that correlate with the texturally-inferred cooling and alteration histories.Magnetic phases in the silicic lavas are similar to those reported from calc-alkaline circum-Pacific suites.The secondary alteration of the titanomagnetites within the silicic units is much less than that observed within the basaltic lavas, in which titanomagnetite has been altered to titanomaghemite.Given the elevated forearc geothermal gradients encountered in the Triple Junction Chile Margin region, the calculated Curie points for observed ferrimagnetic phases in the basalts, and that titanomaghemite is the dominant magnetic carrier, it is highly probable that young oceanic crust near the triple junction is quickly remagnetized when underthrust along the toe of the continental forearc.

We report the first case of infection by Neosartorya hiratsukae, an ascomycete in which the conidial state resembles Aspergillus fumigatus. The fungus caused a brain infection in a Brazilian woman, who died despite itraconazole treatment. Diagnosis was established by direct microscopic examination, computed tomographic scan, and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, and repeated cultures from the lesions. The in vitro antifungal susceptibility of the isolate is provided.
Inadvertent Right Ventricle Perforation by Temporary Pacemaker Lead: A Case Report Requiring Surgical Exploration

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Right ventricle perforation by pacemaker lead is rare but a life-threatening complication. It may present acutely within few hours of pacemaker implantation as hemopericardium, dreaded cardiac tamponade, leading to acute hemodynamic deterioration; even death, if not address immediately. At times, it presents gradually with progressive decline in hemodynamic and requires surgical exploration. The authors report a case of 51-year old female whose hemodynamic worsens gradually after temporary pacemaker implantation, requiring surgical exploration.

Renal mechanisms of antihypertensive effects caused by inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase in Cyp1a1‐Ren‐2 transgenic rats.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

We examined the hypothesis that antihypertensive responses to inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) are mediated by natriuretic effects of increased epoxyeicosanoids in transgenic rats with inducible expression of the mouse renin gene [strain name Cyp1a1‐Ren‐2]. Hypertension was induced in Cyp1a1‐Ren‐2 rats through dietary administration of indole‐3‐carbinol (I3C; 0.3%) for 11 days. The sEH inhibitor, cis ‐4‐[4‐(3‐Adamantan‐1‐yl‐ureido)‐cyclohexyloxy]‐benzoic acid ( c ‐AUCB, 13 mg/L) was given in drinking water. Blood pressure (BP) was monitored by radiotelemetry in conscious animals (n=6‐8). Sodium excretion and proteinuria were determined in 24 hour urine samples. c ‐AUCB had no effects in non‐induced normotensive group. However, at the end of experimental period, c‐AUCB treatment attenuated the development of hypertension induced by I3C (systolic BP 181 ± 4 vs. 202 ± 5 mmHg, p<0.05), the loss in body weight (254 ± 4 vs. 228 ± 3 g, p<0.05) and proteinuria (27 ± 2 vs. 34 ± 3 mg/day, p<0.05) when compared with untreated rats. Moreover, c ‐AUCB induced natriuretic responses in treated rats (0.79 ± 0.06 vs. 0.57 ± 0.07 mmol/day, p<0.05) compared to untreated group. These data suggest that antihypertensive responses to inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase in these transgenic rats are mediated by the natriuretic and renoprotective effects in the kidney.
Expression of Stress-Responsive Genes in Wheat (Triticum Aestivum) and its Progenitors Under Heat Stress

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum, AABBDD) had developed from tetraploid and diploid progenitors with different genomic background.During evolution, changes in genome organization, gene expression, and genomic interactions occur.Real time PCR was employed to disclose changes in gene expression of three abiotic induced genes (DREB2, NAC6D, HSP17) in T. aestivum and four of its progenitors which had contributed in its development including Triticum turgidum (AABB), Triticum monococcum (AA), Aegilops spltoides (BB), and Aegilops taushii (DD) with different ploidy levels.Results showed that the three genes presented wide variations between T. aestivum and its progenitors as well as among its progenitors.Results suggested that T. aestivum could have inherited the high expression pattern of DREB2 from its progenitor A. speltoids, inherited its expression pattern of NAC6D form T. turgidum and/or A. taushii.The high expression pattern of HSP17 in T. aestivum could have been inherited from A. speltoides and/or T. turgidum.The obtained results support the notion that wheat progenitors have contributed in the gene expression profile of the hexaploid wheat.Results of this study will help detection of important genes in wheat progenitors that could be introduced into breeding programs for devolving new wheat varieties with desired characteristics.
Comparison of Teacher-Rated Achievement Levels of Behaviorally Disordered, Learning Disabled, and Nonhandicapped Adolescents

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Teachers rated the achievement levels of behaviorally disordered, learning disabled, and nonhandicapped adolescents in four different academic areas: reading recognition, reading comprehension, arithmetic, and written expression. Comparisons across the three groups revealed that behaviorally disordered and learning disabled adolescents were seen as performing significantly below expected levels of achievement. Differences found between behaviorally disordered and learning disabled students' rated achievement appeared to depend upon particular age levels. Results are discussed in terms of the instructional needs of behaviorally disordered and learning disabled students.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract This study included patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage who were treated in intensive care unit of GATA Haydarpasa Training Hospital, Division of Internal Medicine during 1 year. Medical and demographic data of the patients were recorded. These patients were followed for 3 months after being discharged from the intensive care unit. Of the 50 patients in the study, 18 were female (36%), 32 were male (64%). The mean age was 47±2 years, and the ages ranged between 17 and 89 years. We did not find any statistically significant results in our evaluation of the relationship between the mean platelet volume and the number of transfusions, endoscopic findings, and prognosis after 3 months of follow-up.
Wearable Sunlight-Triggered Bimorph Textile Actuators

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Photothermal bimorph actuators have attracted considerable attention in intelligent devices because of their cordless control and lightweight and easy preparation. However, current photothermal bimorph actuators are mostly based on films or papers driven by near-infrared sources, which are deficient in flexibility and adaptability, restricting their potential in wearable applications. Herein, a bimorph textile actuator that can be scalably fabricated with a traditional textile route and autonomously triggered by sunlight is reported. The active layer and passive layer of the bimorph are constructed by polypropylene tape and a MXene-modified polyamide filament. Because of the opposite thermal expansion and MXene-enhanced photothermal efficiency (>260%) of the bimorph, the textile actuator presents effective deformation (1.38 cm-1) under low sunlight power (100 mW/cm2). This work provides a new pathway for wearable sunlight-triggered actuators and finds attractive applications for smart textiles.
Energy Transport\nState Resolved Raman for Probing\nInterface Energy Transport and Hot Carrier Diffusion in Few-Layered\nMoS<sub>2</sub>

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Quantitative understanding\nof 2D atomic layer interface thermal\nresistance (<i>R</i>) based on Raman characterization is\nsignificantly hindered by unknown sample-to-sample optical properties\nvariation, interface-induced optical interference, off-normal laser\nirradiation, and large thermal-Raman calibration uncertainties. In\nthis work, we develop a novel energy transport state resolved Raman\n(ET-Raman) to resolve these critical issues, and also consider the\nhot carrier diffusion, which is crucial but has been rarely considered\nduring interface energy transport study. In ET-Raman, by constructing\ntwo steady heat conduction states with different laser spot sizes,\nwe differentiate the effect of <i>R</i> and hot carrier\ndiffusion coefficient (<i>D</i>). By constructing an extreme\nstate of zero/negligible heat conduction using a picosecond laser,\nwe differentiate the effect of <i>R</i> and material’s\nspecific heat. In the end, we precisely determine <i>R</i> and <i>D</i> without need of laser absorption and temperature\nrise of the 2D atomic layer. Seven MoS<sub>2</sub> samples (6.6–17.4\nnm) on c-Si are characterized using ET-Raman. Their <i>D</i> is measured in the order of 1.0 cm<sup>2</sup>/s, increasing against\nthe MoS<sub>2</sub> thickness. This is attributed to the weaker in-plane\nelectron–phonon interaction in thicker samples, enhanced screening\nof long-range disorder, and improved charge impurities mitigation. <i>R</i> is determined as 1.22–1.87 × 10<sup>–7</sup> K·m<sup>2</sup>/W, decreasing with the MoS<sub>2</sub> thickness.\nThis is explained by the interface spacing variation due to thermal\nexpansion mismatch between MoS<sub>2</sub> and Si, and increased stiffness\nof thicker MoS<sub>2</sub>. The local interface spacing is uncovered\nby comparing the theoretical Raman intensity and experimental data,\nand is correlated with the observed <i>R</i> variation.
