Lithium in affective disorders : a seven year observation of lithium clinic.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Out of 692 patients registered in the lithium clinic, King George's Medical College, Lucknow, 122 patients suffering from affective disorders, receiving lithium for at least 6 months continuously, having had at least 5 serum lithium estimations done and having been evaluated at least once in 6 months while on follow-up, were analysed with a view to study the relapses. About one-third patients suffered no relapse while on lithium. The study revealed that longer the duration of lithium treatment lesser were the frequency, number, intensity and duration of manic/depressive relapses. Majority of patients were maintained on the lower side (0.5-0.8 mEq/L) of the usually recommended therapeutic range (0.6-1.2 mEq/L) for lithium prophylaxis. Commonly observed side effects include fine tremors, muscular weakness, polyuria, polydipsia and constipation. All the side effects were easily managed and none had a fatal sides-effect. A reappraisal in the light of existing literature of lithium prophylaxis on manic depressive psychosis is done.
Milk Yield and Composition of Red Sokoto Goats Fed Varying Levels of Baobab (Adansonia digitata) Fruit Meal Supplement in the Diet

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The milk yield and mineral composition of Red Sokoto goats fed varying levels of baobab (Adansonia digitata) fruit meal supplement was investigated over a period of 84 days. Twenty four (24) lactating Red Sokoto goats averaging 19.75 + 1.26 kg body weight were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments with six animals per replicate in a completely randomized design to determine the quantity and quality of milk produced. Treatment 1 was control with no baobab pulp and seed supplement, Treatments 2, 3 and 4 had 10%, 20% and 30% baobab pulp and seed inclusion respectively. The milk yield and mineral composition were significantly affected (P<0.05). Milk yield progressively increased for all treatments to week four where the peak was recorded for the yield with 20% baobab fruit inclusion levels having a clear significant value of 5043.50g, followed by 30%, 10% above the control with varying values of 4905.25g, 4835.60g and 3922.31g respectively. The milk yield recorded a decreased values of 3325.00g, 3189.69g, 3183.25g and 2523.50g for 20%, 10%, 30% and 0% inclusion levels at the end of 12 th week. There were significant difference (P<0.05) in the values of Total solids, Fat and lactose. For milk composition; 30% inclusion level recorded the highest values for Total solids, fat and lactose at figures of 17.38%, 5.78% and 6.64% respectively. The fat content of the milk in the study were at the increasing range of 3.0 %, 4.05%, 4.60% and 5.78% respectively for inclusion levels of 0% – 30% baobab fruit in the experimental diets. Milk produced by the experimental animals on 20% and 30% levels of inclusion recorded the overall best results in term of mineral composition. The results of the study had shown that inclusion of baobab fruit at 20 % in the diet of Red Sokoto goats gave the highest milk yield . Inclusion at 30% level also gave better results in term of mineral composition. Keywords: baobab pulp and seed, red sokoto goat, milk yield and mineral composition.
[Bacterial infections of the lungs in mucoviscidosis patients].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The pathogenesis of lung infections in patients with mucoviscidosis (cystic fibrosis, CF) is multifactorial. Both host- and pathogen-related factors are involved. The most important germ in terms of progression and pulmonary damage is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, the clinical relevance of other CF-typical pathogens has not yet been determined with certainty, and must be assessed on the basis of the clinical presentation of the individual case. To ensure optimal patient management, a CF-specific microbiological diagnostic work-up is mandatory. Since ever more patients now survive into adulthood, the problems associated with chronic infection are gaining in importance. In light of increasing multiresistance, the use of inhalation antibiotics, as well as combined antibiotic treatment, is becoming more and more determinative for the therapeutic outcome.

Collaboration Practices for the Cybersecurity of Supply Chains to Critical Infrastructure

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This work describes the collaboration practices of a community of interest in the UK that brings together cybersecurity professionals with a shared interest in improving supply chain cybersecurity for Operational Technology (OT) environments. This research emphasizes the need for collective responsibility between organizations and provides a set of principles for adopting a code of practice and partnership approach to supply chain cybersecurity. This work has enabled cybersecurity experience from several critical infrastructure sectors, including energy, rail, aviation, water, health, and food, to analyze the uptake and practical use of existing supply chain guidance, identifying gaps and challenges. The community has examined touch points with the supply chain and identified improvements related to the communication of cybersecurity requirements, technical and commercial engagement between customers and suppliers, and in the tailoring of implementations towards operational technology contexts. Communicating the context of securing cyber-physical systems is an essential perspective for this community. This work exemplifies a partnership framework and is translating experiences into useful guidance, particularly for OT systems, to improve cybersecurity levels across multiple contributors to critical infrastructure systems.
<title>Experimental and theoretical investigations on threshold parameters of laser-induced optical breakdown on tissues</title>

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The dependence of the fluence at the threshold of laser- induced optical breakdown on the laser pulse duration has been investigated experimentally and theoretically for human cornea, human enamel, and bovine brain tissue. For the experiments in the range from 100 fs to 200 ps, we used a femtosecond dye laser system and a picosecond Nd:YLF laser system. We observed a significant decrease of the fluence at the threshold when reducing the pulse duration. The measured dependence on the pulse duration is in good agrement with our model.

Control of off-flavor compounds in a full-scale recirculating aquaculture system rearing rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Fish is increasingly produced in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), which can offer some production and environmental benefits. Unfortunately, there is a tendency to develop off-flavors in RAS, mainly caused by geosmin (GSM) and 2-methyl isoborneol (MIB) accumulating in the fish flesh from the circulating water. These off-flavors are objectionable to consumers, reducing the profitability of production and causing an unwanted reputation for this fish production sector. In this study, combinations of oxidative chemicals: ozone (O3), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and peracetic acid (PAA) were applied in a commercial, full-scale (1.3 M kg a−1) RAS rearing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Inlet water from a nearby lake, circulating water, and depuration water were treated to increase their quality and enhance the depuration procedure. The results showed a decrease of 77% (MIB) and 93% (GSM) in the concentrations of off-flavors in circulating water after the treatments with oxidative chemicals.
Ganglioside antigen of DU‐PAN‐2 in a human pancreatic cancer

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

DU‐PAN‐2 reactive gangliosides were isolated from the tumor of a patient with pancreatic cancer (duct cell carcinoma, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma), having a negative Lewis blood phenotype, and were analyzed by means of TLC‐immunostaining, enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), permethylation study, 1 H NMR spectroscopy and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. The structures of the gangliosides were found to be NeuAcα2‐3Ga1β1‐3G1cNAcβ1‐3Ga1β1‐4Glcβ1‐1′Cer, containing normal and hydroxy fatty acids. By TLC‐immunostaining and ELISA with chemically synthesized gangliosides, DU‐PAN‐2 was demonstrated to react strongly with IV 3 αNeuAc‐Lc 4 Cer, weakly with IV 3 αNeuAc‐nLc 4 Cer, and moderately with IV 6 αNeuAc‐Lc 4 Cer and IV 6 αNeuAc‐nLc 4 Cer. Thus it was concluded that the DU‐PAN‐2 reactive ganglioside in the tumor is IV 3 αNeuAc‐Lc 4 Cer and that DU‐PAN‐2 has a rather broad specificity.
A Comparative Study of Biological Sample Preparation Methods Conventional Cryopreservation of Human Tissue

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

Background/Aims: Data that compare the effectiveness of methodologies for cryopreservation of human tissue are very limited. Thus, two different biological sample preparation methods, the conventional cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue using either spontaneous or initiated (so-called “seeded”) ice formation, was carefully investigated and compared. Materials and Methods: Biopsies of ovarian tissue were obtained from women with indications for chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and small pieces of experimental tissue (0.5 mm × 1 mm × 1–3 mm) were randomly distributed into three different groups: group 1 immediately after biopsy, experimental pieces after cryopreservation (thawing) with spontaneous ice formation (Group 2) and cryopreservation with initiated ice formation (Group 3). The pieces of tissue were cultured in vitro for 16 days, after which follicle viability and hormonal activity were evaluated. The level of statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: The obtained results indicated that culture supernatants for Groups 1, 2, and 3 showed estradiol 17-ß concentrations of 476, 465, and 459 pg/mL, respectively. Whereas pProgesterone concentrations were 9.68, 5.77, and 5.61 ng/mL, respectively. In addition, the mean primordial follicle density per mm 3 for Group 1 was 12.1 ± 3.9, 3.1 ± 1.4 for Group 2 and 6.0 ± 2.3 for Group 3. Moreover, it was recognized that 91%, 16%, and 87% follicles for Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively, were normal ( P 2-1, 3 < 0.05; P 1-3 > 0.1). Conclusions: The obtained results revealed that for the best results using cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue, the protocol of conventional cryopreservation must include a step of initiated ice formation. Moreover, an advanced analytical detection technique of high sensitivity, mass spectrometry, can further be used in the future for an accurate determination of hormonal levels and other related compounds and for screening of possible biomarkers using the best-obtained sample preparation method.
[Characteristics of Vibrio cholerae nonO1/nonO139 serogroup strains that caused diseases in population of Rostov region].

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

The data obtained indicates a lack of general source of human infection even in the same location and time period. On the other hand, serological and genotypic features of V. cholerae nonO1/nonO139 may undergo changes in the process of staying in the macro organism or environment due to high plasticity of their genome.
Introduction. The History of the History: The Theory of the Deuteronomistic History and the Problem of the Book of Kings

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The story of the theory of the Deuteronomistic History (DH) is itself a telling review. It begins with Martin Noth, who established the theory of the DH in the field in the first half of a monograph published in 1943. That monograph, with its inimitably German title, Uberlieferungsgeschichtliche Studien, has since become a classic in the study of the Hebrew Bible because it forever changed the way that scholars regard the historical books of the Bible. The observations of Alfred Jepsen and Gerhard von Rad precipitated an erosion of Noth's understanding of the authorship, date, and purpose of the DH. In the past three decades a variety of alternative reconstructions involving redactional levels have been put forward. Again, these alternative theories are founded on research within the book of Kings where it is felt that the material is simply too uneven to accept its assignment to a single write.Keywords: Uberlieferungsgeschichtliche Studien; Alfred Jepsen; book of Kings; Deuteronomistic History (DH); Gerhard von Rad; Hebrew Bible; Martin Noth; redactional theories
Fundamental Catalysis and Engineering Challenges in Energy Harvesting

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

This commentary aims to stimulate further thoughts on pyrolysis technology by highlighting some aspects that are not yet fully resolved. Biocrude pyrolysis oil looks like petroleum oil in appearance, but the composition, energy content, and production process are quite different from those in petroleum oil. Therefore, the question arises on what can be done to make the pyrolysis oil technology—process and product—more attractive for commercial use. In the author's view, the perception created has been that it is a ready-to-use technology, only waiting for a political or business decision to progress in the implementation. There are however many research-related questions not yet answered. From this perspective, three areas involving catalysis and engineering aspects are discussed. First, the energy balance in the reactor is a poorly understood area. In other words, where does the energy required to maintain an endothermal reaction come from, especially in locations where utilities are scarce? Then, options to create additional value to make the technology more competitive and commercially viable are discussed. Finally, one of the least investigated topics, the performance of biocrude pyrolysis oil mixtures and its acid-catalyzed upgraded counterparts, is addressed.
Peculiar-velocity cosmology with Types Ia and II supernovae

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT We present the Democratic Samples of Supernovae (DSS), a compilation of 775 low-redshift Type Ia and II supernovae (SNe Ia and II), of which 137 SN Ia distances are derived via the newly developed snapshot distance method. Using the objects in the DSS as tracers of the peculiar-velocity field, we compare against the corresponding reconstruction from the 2M++ galaxy redshift survey. Our analysis – which takes special care to properly weight each DSS subcatalogue and cross-calibrate the relative distance scales between them – results in a measurement of the cosmological parameter combination $f\sigma _8 = 0.390_{-0.022}^{+0.022}$ as well as an external bulk flow velocity of $195_{-23}^{+22}$ km s−1 in the direction $(\ell , b) = (292_{-7}^{+7}, -6_{-4}^{+5})$ deg, which originates from beyond the 2M++ reconstruction. Similarly, we find a bulk flow of $245_{-31}^{+32}$ km s−1 towards $(\ell , b) = (294_{-7}^{+7}, 3_{-5}^{+6})$ deg on a scale of $\sim 30\, h^{-1}$ Mpc if we ignore the reconstructed peculiar-velocity field altogether. Our constraint on fσ8 – the tightest derived from SNe to date (considering only statistical error bars), and the only one to utilize SNe II – is broadly consistent with other results from the literature. We intend for our data accumulation and treatment techniques to become the prototype for future studies that will exploit the unprecedented data volume from upcoming wide-field surveys.
3D Driving Emulation System

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The driver assistance research group from NTU Future Mobility Lab works on a variety of projects to analyze the driving behavior of people and collect different types of data such as drivers’ visual behavior, EEG signals, eye movements, facial expression, mental awareness and multi-tasking, to detect drivers’ status and to study people’s driving behavior for the purpose of future research on safer driving assistance. This final year project aims to provide a driving emulation system for experiments to collect those different types of data. To enhance the accuracy and reliability of the experiment results to be collected, a 3D car driving emulation system is created, and the car models used in the driving environment act like real cars to improve the driving experiences. To obtain and analyze the experiment data of different driving environments, two scenes are created using Unity 3D: a tutorial track and a city map, with different types of car models created and imported respectively. After the system is created, users are able to take control of the car through keyboard or using the simulative steering wheel for experiments.
QoS Prediction-based Radio Resource Management

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Accurate predictions of the expected change of Quality of Service (QoS) and radio key performance indicators (KPIs) in the radio access network are being enabled by machine learning (ML). These future analytics can be used to support proactive adaptation of end-user applications and in-advance optimization of the radio access network. Predicted QoS information can enable radio resource management schemes provide more reliable future QoS guarantees for individual users even with poor expected performance. In this paper, we introduce a QoS prediction-based radio resource management scheme based on the predictive proportional fairness resource allocation algorithm using expected spectral efficiency information together with QoS prediction information to prioritize individual users well in-advance. Simulation results show that the usage of QoS predictions in radio resource management can lead to future user capacity guarantees for individual users while maximizing fairness and system performance on the prediction horizon. The proposed solution achieves significant system gains in sum-rate and fairness compared to reactive resource allocation in spite of significant levels of uncertainty in the predicted information.
Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channels

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Ion channels that are principally activated by direct binding of intracellular cyclic nucleotides have evolved as cation nonselective transducers for intracellular pathways that regulate synthesis or destruction of cyclic nucleotides. These channels play essential roles in sensory systems, where they interpret the chemical signal produced by external stimulus input – a change in the intracellular concentration of guanosine 3ʹ,5ʹ-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) or adenosine 3ʹ,5ʹ-cyclic monophosphates (cAMP) – into an electrical response via a change in cation conductance through the channel pore. Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels are tetrameric complexes of homologous subunits, with each subunit contributing a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD), part of the ion conduction pathway, and the fundamental machinery to covert cGMP or cAMP binding into channel opening. Here, we review their functional and structural properties and their physiological and pathophysiological contributions, with an emphasis on new structural and mechanistic information.
PRF Lysates Modulate Chemokine Expression in Oral Squamous Carcinoma and Healthy Epithelial Cells

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), originally used to support soft tissue healing, is also considered a therapeutic option for treating oral lichen planus and leukoplakia. The progression from the two premalignant lesions to the aggressive malignant oral squamous cell carcinoma involves an inflammatory process linked to chemokine expression. Thus, there is a rationale for studying how PRF modulates the expression of chemokines in oral squamous carcinoma cells. To this aim, we expose the oral squamous carcinoma cell line HSC2 to IL1β and TNFα either alone or in the presence of lysates obtained from solid PRF membranes. We report here that in HSC2 cells, PRF lysates significantly reduce the forced transcription of chemokines, e.g., CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL8, CXCL10, and CCL5. Moreover, PRF lysates attenuate the nuclear translocation of p65 in HSC2 oral epithelial cells when exposed to IL1β and TNFα. PRF lysates further reduce chemokine expression provoked by poly:IC HMW. Even though less pronounced, PRF lysates reduce IL1β- and TNFα-induced chemokine expression in TR146 cells. In primary oral epithelial cells, however, PRF lysates increase the basal expression of CXCL1, CXCL2 and CXCL8. Thus, PRF can exert a biphasic effect on chemokine expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines and primary oral epithelial cells. These findings suggest that PRF may reduce inflammation in a malignant environment while provoking an immunological response in healthy oral epithelium.
Shaping ability and apical debris extrusion after root canal preparation with rotary or reciprocating instruments: a micro-CT study

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

All systems caused apically extruded debris, without any significant differences among them. TruShape, Reciproc Blue, and ProTaper Universal presented similar percentages of unprepared area after root canal instrumentation; however, ProTaper Universal was associated with higher dentin removal than the other systems.
