Modal Assignment Effects on Decentralized Control of a Large Space Structure.

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The more modes a designer can keep in the model of the sytem/space structure, the less inaccurate it will be. But the computational burden to an online computer, functioning as the controller, grows also. The thrust of this thesis is to implement time response output for the nontrivial model and investigate the effect on time response of certain modal assignments by fixed groups to any of the three controllers with another fixed group assigned as residuals. The inclusion of residuals provides in a limited sense a truth model for the analysis of stability and performance. There may be significant differences in time response caused by the fact that a controller is known to provide more relative controllability and less observability, or vice versa for its assigned modes. The investigation will involve initially the fixing of certain baseline parameters to allow a parallel comparison of reasonable results. Then line-of-sight pointing and defocus performance will be generated for comparison among various cases. The simulation model is a version of the so-called 'Draper-2' space structure model. The next section describes the selected model configuration and discuss its finite element representation. Then the modal control and matrix transformation methods will be explained. The implementation of the simulation program will be discussed. The last sections will detail the investigation, results, conclusions and recommendations. Keywords: Large flexible space structures, CSOL models, and Modal control.
Identification of the Epstein-Barr virus gp85 gene

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

The Epstein-Barr virus glycoprotein gp85 has been mapped to the Epstein-Barr virus DNA open reading frame BXLF2 (R. Baer, A. Bankier, M. Biggin, P. Deininger, P. Farrell, T. Gibson, G. Hatfull, G. Hudson, S. Stachwell, C. Sequin, P. Tufnell, and B. Barrell, Nature [London] 310:207-211, 1984). A gp85-specific monoclonal antibody reacts with the BXLF2 in vitro transcription-translation product. The monoclonal antibody also precipitates an 85-kilodalton protein from rodent cells transfected with the BXLF2 open reading frame DNA. In these cells, gp85 localizes to the cytoplasm and nuclear rim rather than to the plasma membrane as in lymphocytes. Northern (RNA) blot hybridization and analysis of a cDNA clone containing BXLF2 indicate that gp85 is translated from an unspliced, late, 2.5-kilobase transcript. Similarities between the predicted amino acid sequences of gp85 and herpes simplex virus gH (D. McGeoch and A. Davison, Nucleic Acids Res. 14:4281-4292, 1986) are noted.
Electrochemical Deposition of Cisplatin on Pure Magnesium

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In this research, the cisplatin has been successfully deposited on pure Mg specimen, degradable and promising for the tumor treatment by its local sustained release to prevent the cancer from metastasis and even to achieve its apoptosis. The cathodic polarization tests coupled with electrochemical reactions in various concentrations of cisplatin solutions were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed to speculate the deposition mechanism of cisplatin by UV visible spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, focused ion beam, and X-ray diffractometer. The drug, cisplatin, is deposited on the pure Mg through exchanging Cl− with OH−, produced by the electrochemical method, to form strong hydrogen bonds for attracting one another. The FESEM images of cisplatin coated Mg specimens reveal that the diameter of cisplatin particle is around 50–150 nm with sphere-like shape. While that on cisplatin/HAp composite is less than 30 nm. Due to the high porosity, the drug loading on cisplatin/HAp coated one can be enhanced from 34.65 to 84.93 μg/cm2. Also, the drug release duration can be elongated from one day burst to 3 weeks sustained release, which is promising for future clinical applications.

The work‐related stressors and coping strategies of group‐employed rural health care practitioners: A qualitative study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background Escalating demands on practitioners, stagnating/dwindling resources, and diminishing autonomy have heightened patient‐care work‐related stress. Using qualitative content/thematic analysis of responses to open‐ended survey questions, plus spontaneous comments, we sought to identify rural clinicians’ subjective perceptions of their workplace stressors and typical adaptive/coping strategies. Methods Within a hybrid inductive‐deductive approach, we framed empirical themes (derived by consensus, corroborated with text segments, and extant literature) into theory‐based coding templates by which we analyzed the data. Results Of 308 (65.1% of) recipients completing questionnaires, 290 (94%) answered open‐ended questions and/or provided comments. Categorizing stressors by socio‐ecology, they cited four themes: Organizational, practitioner/staff‐related, patient‐related, and third party‐induced stressors. Organizational stressors were referenced most conspicuously. How respondents described their coping fitted the Stress, Appraisal and Coping. [Lazarus and Folkman (1984): New York, NY: Springer Publishing Company, Inc] model. Emotion‐focused were referenced more than problem‐focused approaches. Themes scarcely differed by demographics, except for marital status. Conclusions Findings highlight needs for resilience coaching, rekindling work meaningfulness, mentorship in work‐home balance/limit‐setting, supportive peer networks, and deeper teamwork.
Capture of (3H)-choline by Fibrocytes of Frog Motor Endplate Region.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

A radioautographic study of [3H]-choline was performed in the motor endplate region of the frog. The incorporation of the radioactive ligand was detected in the motor nerve terminal, as already seen in previous experiments. A dense labeling was observed in fibrocytes of the motor endplate region. Such substantial incorporation of choline in the fibrocytes, which has not been reported so far, brings new suggestions concerning the role of non-neural cells in the cholinergic metabolism.
GLP-1 receptor agonists in the context of cancer: the road ahead

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A rapidly increasing proportion of the population in the United States is taking glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) for type 2 diabetes or weight loss. Consequently, an increasing number of patients presenting with new cases of cancer also have a current prescription for GLP-1RAs. The impact of GLP-1RAs on metabolism is quite profound, and it is entirely reasonable to assume these agents are also very impactful on the metabolism of cancer cells, in addition to the general metabolism of the patient. Although these drugs are relatively recent on the market, the study of metabolism in cancer is a well-established field and we can make predictions about how GLP-1RAs will interface with cancer treatments. In fact, some evidence points to a possible neoadjuvant effect of these drugs for patients with cancer that would justify the initiation of GLP-1RAs to support therapy in a subset of patients. At the same time, there is a very present concern that drugs that induce weight loss may also precipitate the loss of muscle mass, cachexia, in patients. Here, we will provide an overview of the existing literature around diabetes and metabolism in the context of cancer and cachexia.
Combined therapy for critical limb ischaemia: Biomimetic PLGA microcarriers potentiates the pro-angiogenic effect of adipose tissue stromal vascular fraction cells

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We propose a regenerative solution in the treatment of critical limb ischaemia (CLI). Poly-lactic/glycolic acid microcarriers were prepared and coated with laminin to be sterilized through γ-irradiation of 25 kGy at low temperature. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells were extracted through enzymatic digestion of adipose tissue. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice underwent arteriotomy and received an administration of SVF cells combined or not with biomimetic microcarriers. Functional evaluation of the ischaemic limb was then reported, and tissue reperfusion was evaluated through fluorescence molecular tomography. Microcarriers were stable and functional after γ-irradiation until at least 12 months of storage. Mice that received an injection of SVF cells in the ischaemic limb have 22% of supplementary blood supply within this limb 7 days after surgery compared with vehicle, whereas no difference was observed at Day 14. With the combined therapy, the improvement of blood flow is significantly higher compared with vehicle, of about 31% at Day 7 and of about 11% at Day 14. Injection of SVF cells induces a significant 27% decrease of necrosis compared with vehicle. This effect is more important when SVF cells were mixed with biomimetic microcarriers: -37% compared with control. Although SVF cells injection leads to a non-significant 22% proprioception recovery, the combined therapy induces a significant recovery of about 27% compared with vehicle. We show that the combination of SVF cells from adipose tissue with laminin-coated poly-lactic/glycolic acid microcarriers is efficient for critical limb ischaemia therapy in a diabetic mouse model.
Tripe palms and Malignant Acanthosis Nigricans: More than a diagnostic pointer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Tripe palms (TP) is one of the rare cutaneous paraneoplastic manifestations of various intra‐abdominal malignancies. TP and malignant acanthosis nigricans (MAN) occur together and may precede even years before the index cancer. Though rare, the clinical significance of TP and MAN holds significance as an indicator of internal malignancy. Case Here, we describe 71‐year, postmenopausal female with ovarian cancer who presented to us with a history of dyspepsia, abdominal distension, and weight loss. On detailed history and evaluation, it was found that she had TP and MAN 4 years before diagnosis. Conclusion The unique presentation preceding the primary illness necessitates extensive early work‐up to look for malignancy and the initial consideration for surgery due to the tumor biology in such patients.
Status of the Development and Application of Oil Sand

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Oil and natural gas are important energy and chemical raw materials, its resources are gradually reduced. With the rapid development of the global economy, the conventional oil resources can’t meet the rapid growth of oil demand, people began turning to unconventional oil resources, one of which is the oil sands. Oil sands is unconventional oil resources, if its proven reserves are converted into oil, it will be much larger than the world's proven oil reserves. Canadian oil sands reserves stand ahead in the world, followed by the former Soviet Union, Venezuela, the United States and China. However, due to its special properties, different mining and processing technology, and higher mining costs compared with conventional oil, the research of oil sands makes slow progress. At present, due to the rising of world oil price, oil sands mining technology have attracted more and more attention, and have developed a lot.
Iron-Based Low-Dimensional Magnets

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Iron cations Fe $${}^{3+}$$ (S = 5/2) in inorganic compounds usually effectively interact with each other along three directions, which excludes the presence of correlation effects associated with short-range order. However, some systems with distant fragments containing Fe $${}^{3+}$$ ions due to ligands or other nonmagnetic cations, retain signs of low-dimensional magnetic behavior both above and below the temperature of magnetic ordering. In this review, we have selected examples of iron compounds that can be attributed to the different classes of low-dimensional magnets, including magnetic clusters: dimers in Fe(Te $${}_{1.5}$$ Se $${}_{0.5}$$ )O $${}_{5}$$ Cl, magnetic chains in Bi $${}_{2}$$ Fe(SeO $${}_{3}$$ ) $${}_{2}$$ OCl $${}_{3}$$ , Fe $${}_{2}$$ O(SeO $${}_{3}$$ ) $${}_{2}$$ , magnetic chains with different spins Na $${}_{x}$$ Fe $${}_{7}$$ (PO $${}_{4}$$ ) $${}_{6}$$ (x = 0, 0.65), MCuFe $${}_{2}$$ (VO $${}_{4}$$ ) $${}_{3}$$ (M $$=$$ Li, Na), magnetic two-dimensional planes with triangular arrangement of magnetic ions MFeO $${}_{2}$$ (M $$=$$ Ag $${}^{+}$$ , Cu $${}^{+}$$ ), MFe(MoO $${}_{4}$$ ) $${}_{2}$$ (M $$=$$ K $${}^{+}$$ , Rb $${}^{+}$$ , Cs $${}^{+}$$ , Tl $${}^{+}$$ ), NaFe $${}_{3}$$ (HPO $${}_{3}$$ ) $${}_{2}$$ ((H,F)PO $${}_{2}$$ OH) $${}_{6}$$ .

PRENATAL DEVELOPMENT OF RADIO-ULNAR AND TIBIO-FIBULAR BONES IN RED SOKOTO GOAT (CAPRA HIRCUS): A HISTOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Ability of ruminate neonates to run with the herd hours after birth necessitated this study. This study, therefore, was carried out to evaluate morphometry of radio-ulnar and tibio-fibular bones during prenatal period in Red Sokoto goat (RSG) and determined the specific gestation days of primary and secondary ossifications. A total of 45 abbatoir-sourced foetal samples obtained from slaughter houses were used for the study. The foetuses were categorized into eight age groups, based on established aging formulae. The radio-ulnar and tibio-fibular bones of foetuses were collected and prepared for histological examination. Results showed that primary ossification centre of the diaphysis was established by gestation day (GD) 54 in RSG fetuses with formation of tiny bone spicules in the diaphysis. This ossification spread towards the epiphysis by GD 57 while the epiphysis remained quiescent. Secondary ossification centre in the epiphysis was observed by GD 65 with numerous cartilage canals which coalesced into larger ones by GD 75, all associated with osteogenic tissues. Well advanced secondary ossification centre was observed by GD 90. Well-developed epiphyseal cartilage which separated well-formed and advanced diaphyseal and epiphyseal bones was observed at GD 105. Complete ossification of the diaphysis and epiphysis, leaving an epiphyseal plate, was observed at GD 124.
Superacid catalysis of light hydrocarbon conversion. Eleventh quarterly report, April 1, 1996--June 30, 1996

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The new catalyst Fe- and Mn-promoted sulfated zirconia is remarkably active for the low-temperature (even room temperature) isomerization of n-butane to give isobutane in the near absence of side products. Thus this catalyst offers excellent potential for practical application in this process. The catalyst is so active that it even converts smaller alkanes, including propane and ethane. The ethane conversion is orders of magnitude slower than the butane conversion, and the prospects for practical application with ethane are apparently negligible. However, the results for ethane conversion provide strong evidence that the alkane conversions proceed (at least under some conditions) by protonation of the alkane with the catalyst; thus the catalyst is comparable to superacids, and the chemistry is analogous to that occurring in superacid solutions. This insight will be useful in further improvement of the catalyst and the potential process for butane isomerization. The catalyst is active for alkane cracking at temperatures of typically 200-300{degrees}C, and evidence, summarized here, indicates that numerous reactions of alkanes begin as the catalyst protonates the alkane reactant. The kinetics data for this family of reactions fall on a linear compensation effect plot; such data for reactions that do not proceed via such a mechanism do not fall near the line representing the compensation effect. Thus the analysis of the kinetics data provides a good diagnostic tool for understanding the fundamental chemistry of the acid-catalyzed hydrocarbon conversions.
On the structural mechanism of the Reaction Pb(H2PO4)2 → PbHPO4 + H3PO4

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Decomposition of Pb(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 into PbHPO 4 and amorphous H 3 PO 4 proceeds crystallographically oriented. In order to prove a topotactic model for the mechanism of the reaction formerly derived from comparison of the structures, the As/P ratios of arsenatephosphate mixed crystals Pb[H 2 (As,P)O 4 ] 2 and of their reaction products PbH(As,P)O 4 and H 3 (As,P)O 4 were determined. The crystalline PbH(As,P)O 4 showed in each case a higher As‐content than the educt and the amorphous H 3 (As,P)O 4 . Comparison of these results with the expectation values according to probability theory for the As/P‐distribution confirm the topotactic mechanism of the reaction.

Point Cloud to BIM Using Python Codes

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The construction industry has witnessed a significant development in digitalization, leading to the emergence of Construction 4.0. This term refers to integrating modern digital technologies to enhance project efficiency, quality, safety, and sustainability. In light of the growing emphasis on ecological responsibility, there is an increasing interest in revitalising ageing structures to meet the current sustainability and energy efficiency standards. Proposed solutions to the challenges of ageing infrastructure include renovation, modernization, and deconstruction with material recycling. Nevertheless, the lack of adequate documentation of existing buildings represents a significant obstacle. The utilization of point cloud technology through laser scanning or digital photogrammetry provides a solution, facilitating the creation of accurate three-dimensional models. While scan-to-BIM processes are traditionally lengthy due to the manual work of people, semi-automatic and automatic segmentation solutions are emerging. These solutions aim to streamline the conversion of point clouds to Building Information Models (BIM), improving efficiency and accuracy in the modelling process. This research presents an open-source method for classifying, segmenting, and reconstructing fully volumetric 3D models from the point cloud into Industry foundation classes (IFC). The openBIM format ensures that the data can be used in various software applications.
