Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against leptospira interrogans serovar sanilae

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Leptospirosis is a widespread zoonotic disease in tropical areas caused by pathogenic gram – negative spirochetes Leptospira spp., which affect both human and animals. The disease is transmitted by contacting urine of the infected animals. Leptospira penetrates through mucosa or open wound skin of infected individuals. Symptoms of leptospirosis are extremely broad such as flu – like illness, red eyes, diarrhea or vomiting. If patients are not diagnosed or treated in time, symptoms can become severe sepsis with multi – organ failure. This study aimed to generate monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against pathogenic Leptospira spp. that can be used in a development of immunological based assay for early diagnosis of leptospirosis. Mice were immunized with whole cells of fixed Leptospira interrogans serovar Manilae. After conventional cell hybridization technique, all MAbs were screened by enzyme – linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with sonicated cell lysates of various serovars of leptospira and other bacteria. The results showed that two MAbs obtained in this study bound specifically with L. interrogans serovar Manilae and serovar Pomona but did not interact with other tested bacteria. The sensitivity indicated by the half maximal effective concentration (EC50) and limit of detection (LOD) by individual MAb was in the range of 4×10 6 –7×10 6 cells/ml and 4×10 5 –5×10 5 cells/ml, respectively. Both clones of MAbs were isotyped as IgM. Therefore, these preliminary studies indicated that the obtained MAbs can be used for application in an immunological detection of L. interrogans serovar Manilae .

Limitations of levitation by iron-cored electromagnets

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We present simple "best-case" calculations of power/lift and lift/weight ratios for iron-cored electromagnetic levitation systems using either the attraction between controlled electromagnets and ferromagnetic guideway members or the repulsion between a.c. electromagnets and guideway conductors. Although power/lift ratios are low, the practical engineering restrictions of conductor current density, iron flux density and magnet size result in poor lift/ weight ratios and limit operation to low suspension heights.
Urban Planning and the Concept of Community

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This thesis examines the concept of community and provides an overview of how it was interpreted andused by planners in Los Angeles, from the middle of the 20th century to the present. First, I study howthe concept of community emerged in sociology, by setting it in historical moments during which bothsocial sciences, society and the city changed importantly. Second, I review the evolution of urbanplanning practices in Los Angeles from the 1960s to the 1990s. To do so, I provide a criticalinterpretation of archive (plans, correspondence, and other documents) and newspaper articles, and Ihighlight how the practice of planning was related to political ideas and ideals about âcommunitiesâ. Iconclude by suggesting how social sciences influenced planners, and how urban planners still envision thecity through the prism of âcommunitiesâ today.

Synaptic and Digital Switching in Diffusion Effect‐Assisted Oxides for All‐Inorganic Flexible Memristor

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In this work, an all‐inorganic memristor based on In ion‐diffused Al 2 O 3 (IAO) is realized by low temperature solution method. Compared to single layer devices, the electrical properties of IAO‐based memristor are highly improved. In this device, both of synaptic and digital switching can be observed by controlling the applied voltage. At a low applied voltage, the memristor exhibits synaptic switching behavior including gradual switching, learning process, forgetting process, and relearning process. If a higher voltage is applied, the switching behavior is changed to digital bipolar switching which could be also archived in bending condition. The switching mechanism is dominated by oxygen vacancies modulation on concentration and formation energy. This novel device can be expected to open a new road for hybrid and printable circuits including synaptic and digital flexible memristors.
Economic Analysis of Pecan Nut Production: An Application of Input Oriented DEA Model

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The economics of pecan nut production in Poonch district of Jammu & Kashmir state was assessed using input oriented DEA model. The NPV and profitability index were positive and the internal rate of return (IRR) was 14 per cent, which shows that investing in pecan nut orchard will be a profitable venture until the market interest rate remains below 14 per cent. The results of input oriented model revealed that growers were efficient in terms of pecan nut production at the given level of inputs, with mean overall technical efficiency of 0.922, mean pure technical efficiency of 0.961 and mean scale efficiency of 0.959. The mean allocative and cost efficiencies were 0.718 and 0.665, respectively. The level of input use in pecan nut was extremely low and if inputs are increased, the output would increase more than the use of inputs. The average allocative and cost efficiency of pecan nut growers was less than the average technical efficiency, which shows that pecan nut growers were relatively more technical than cost efficient.
Educational Reform in Japan in the 1990s: 'Individuality' and other uncertainties

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Despite overseas' observers praise for Japanese education over the last 20 years, within Japan the school system has become the focus of increasing discontent because of its supposed rigidity, uniformity, and exam-centredness. This discontent has given impetus to a series of educational reform proposals and policy measures during the late 1980s and 1990s. These reforms have gone under the slogan of 'stress on individuality' (kosei jūshi), and are purportedly aimed at encouraging creativity by introducing more freedom and choice into the education system. However, critics have alleged that the emphasis on 'individuality' masks a neo liberal agenda driven by business demands. This article analyses the reform measures and the surrounding debate. It concludes that Japan's Ministry of Education remains cautious in its approach to reform. The main reform measures to date have favoured a progressive rather than a neoliberal direction.
Childhood Thyrotoxicosis: A Long-term Perspective

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Thyrotoxicosis is a puzzling disorder, especially from the standpoint of aetiology and epidemiology.Basically it represents a disturbance in thyroidal homoeostasis so that there is un- restricted hormone secretion.Clinically this is manifested as hypermetabolism, goitre, and exophthalmos.The overall paediatric contribution to the incidence of thyrotoxicosis is small, the age-group 0-15 years contributing only about 5 % of the total cases.However, this has been one of the commonest thyroid disorders encountered at our Children's Endocrine and Metabolic Clinic, constituting about 45 % of all goitres.The present report summarizes experience with 70 juvenile thyrotoxic patients seen over the 20-year period 1941- 61.The prolonged follow-up in these patients has provided an opportunity to appraise many of them as adults and thus judge the end-products of our paediatric workmanship.Of the 70 patients, 55 (79%) were female.The ratio of females to males, roughly 4: 1, compares with the overall ratio of 6: 1 reported in the childhood age-group (Hayles, 1962) and 7: 1 in adults with Graves's disease. Onset of DiseaseOnset of hyperthyroidism in both boys and girls was most commonly in the early adolescent group aged 10 to 13 years (29 patients).The age of onset was from birth to 5 years in 9 children, 6 to 10 years in 19, and 11 to 16 years in 42.One patient with neonatal thyrotoxicosis, born of a thyrotoxic mother, constituted the only subject under 3 years of age in this series.In about one-third of the patients the opset of thyrotoxic symptoms so closely followed physical or psychic stress as to arouse suspicion that the stress was directly involved in precipi- tating the condition.Thus in six instances the child has been in an automobile accident within a few weeks of the onset of the disease.In seven children convalescence from an infectious disease merged imperceptibly into thyrotoxicosis.In seven others serious psychic trauma, including attempted rape, death of a parent, or separation of parents, immediately preceded the thyroid disorder.The onset was usually insidious, and for this reason many children had advanced disease before coming to medical atten- tion.In retrospect, mild symptoms were present for four to six months or even longer before beingnoted by parents, teacher, or physician.In eight patients the onset was more acute in nature.It was interesting to note that even well- marked symptoms were passed off as " nervousness," " school phobia,'" " chorea," etc., thyrotoxicosis being omitted from consideration because of its presumed rarity.Looking back
Multistring Analysis of a Mudline Hanger System in High-Temperature Wells During Production

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Summary We present a semi-analytical method to analyze the multistring response of tubulars in offshore wells with a mudline suspension system (MLS). Though the governing equations are linear, structural redundancies at the mudline hangers (MLH) require a one-step iterative solution. The iteration ensures that the final response of the MLS and the tubulars is consistent with restrictions at the wellhead and mudline. Our method is computationally simple and can be implemented in a spreadsheet. We apply the method to an offshore well with six strings, four of which are suspended at the mudline. The hangers at the mudline are arranged such that a suspended string transfers its weight to the next outer string. Furthermore, the MLS hardware is such that a lifted-off string raises its immediate inner neighbor. In the model, the tubulars are regarded as elastic springs, and the load transfer pathways at the MLH shoulders are represented by displacement constraints. The length changes created by pressure and temperature changes during well operations are combined with the installed conditions to determine the contact force at the MLH. The model shows that the net movement at the surface and the forces on the structural members depend on the installed condition, the preload in the casing strings, and annular pressures at the surface wellhead. Furthermore, the reduction of annular pressures significantly reduces the force on the conductor slip lock in the wellhead. Cold injection creates a net downward force at critical locations in the MLS. Finally, the model was used to show that the net downward force did not exceed the design capacity of the MLS hardware and to define annulus pressure management procedures to maintain well integrity.
Intellectual Capital Efficiency Analysis of Indian Private Sector Banks

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Banks happen to be one of the largest Intellectual Capital (IC)-intensive sectors. Measurement and management of intellectual capital, therefore, become essential, as it reflects the true value of the firm. The main aim of this paper is to estimate and analyze the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) for measuring the value-based performance of the Indian private sector banks for a period of five years from 2002-2007. The source of the data is the annual report, especially the profit/loss account and balance sheet, of the concerned banks for the relevant years. The data was collected through the RBI online database on Indian economy. The methodology was finalized based on an extensive review of international literature on intellectual capital with specific reference to literature that reviews measurement techniques and tools of intellectual capital. This study applies the VAIC method (propounded by Pulic Ante in 2000) in order to analyze the data of Indian private sector banks for the five-year period. It analyzes the intellectual or Human Capital (HC) and Physical Capital (CA) of the Indian banking sector and discusses their impact on the banks’ value-based performance. The significance of this study is that it approaches the performance measurement and efficiency of banks in India with a new perspective and dimension. The performance of the banks is closely linked to their valuation and also their future strategies related to mergers and acquisitions.
The comparative performance of Islamic and conventional banks: a meta-analysis

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

To date, several studies have been devoted to comparatively examine the performance of Islamic banks to its conventional counterparts with mixed results. Given these inconclusive findings, the purpose of the study is to systematically review 73 samples of past journals and published thesis related to the performance of Islamic and conventional banks subject to regional and period of study. The results reported from past studies are systematically analysed using meta-analysis approach to effectively estimate the size of effect of the implementation of Islamic banking system to the overall performance of Islamic banks relative to conventional banks. Based on meta-analysis, in overall, there is no significant difference of performance between Islamic and conventional banks. In term of regional aspect, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Malaysia showcase better performance of Islamic banks in comparison to conventional banks. Further, Islamic banks perform better during short-term period while long-term studies show the domination of conventional banks. From policy implication, this study suggests that Islamic banks can perform better than its counterparts in a region that has strong government initiatives and community awareness in Islamic finance.
Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy following radioactive iodine thyroid ablation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

This article evaluates the efficacy of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (eDCR) for nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) in patients exposed to radioactive iodine (RAI) for treatment of thyroid carcinoma. Retrospective chart review of 7 eDCR procedures was performed on 6 patients, aged 18 or older, with prior RAI treatment, who underwent eDCR between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2013 for treatment of epiphora due to NLDO. Average time to tube removal was 159 days, and average follow-up was 341 days. One patient noted complete epiphora relief at the time of their final visit. Partial symptom relief was noted by 3 patients, and recurrent epiphora was noted by 2 patients. In complex patients with RAI-associated NLDO, eDCR may be a reasonable option for relief of epiphora. Appropriate counseling, including the risks of incomplete symptom relief and need for additional surgery, should be discussed pre-operatively with these patients.
The Development and Integration of a Safety Officer Role to Facilitate Prevention of COVID-19 Virus Transmission in an Adult Inpatient Rehabilitation Setting Using Collaborative Change Leadership Methodology

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a large urban academic hospital responded by creating the temporary role of a “Safety Officer (SO).” The key task of the SO role was to supervise staff donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE) and provide real-time feedback on their performance. The support for safe donning and doffing would contribute to staff well-being by reducing their fear of infection transmission. Methods: A Collaborative Change Leadership (CCL) approach was used to facilitate the development, implementation, and evaluation of the role. This included an iterative feedback process with clinicians and safety officers to continually refine the role. Findings: Feedback indicated value in the initiative as increasing staff confidence about preventing virus transmission, as well as their sense of safety at work. Areas for future improvement included additional communication strategies for interprofessional teams and external partners, as well as planning around logistics to better support the safety officers in performing this new, temporary role. Conclusions/Application to Practice: The Safety Officer role was able to help alleviate concerns regarding potential infection transmission and contribute positively to staff well-being.

Feed-Forward Control Algorithm for Hybrid Energy Systems

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the control strategies that can be used for hybrid energy systems. In the system considered, solar energy and battery are the two input sources to the DC-DC converter. Due to the intermittent availability of solar energy, a control circuit needs to be designed for the voltage regulation of the hybrid energy system. A single input fuzzy logic controller can maintain the output voltage constant for variations in either Photovoltaic (PV) or battery voltage only. Hence a control strategy is proposed in this paper to accomplish output voltage regulation for variations in both PV and battery voltages. The comparison of the two control techniques is presented along with the simulation results.
Informal Science Learning for Older Adults

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Recent years have seen rapid growth in informal science learning. Evidence suggests that participation in such learning delivers benefits, including improved performance in formal science learning and enhanced interest in science. To date, such learning has typically attended to children and families, with little attention paid to older populations. Older adults are, however, keen knowledge consumers with their participation in learning associated with improved well-being and better health. This commentary presents our experience of developing and delivering an informal science learning event for older adults. Its successes, challenges, and audience reception are considered with a small number of recommendations provided.
A Prescriptive Approach to Assign Weights to Customer Needs for System Design

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

It is a common practice to assign weights to customer needs in Requirements Engineering. However, there are three hidden traps underlying this practice, which may lead to distortion of customer preferences. Aiming to mitigate these traps, a three-step approach based on group decision analysis is proposed. In the 1st step, real customer needs are identified and structured. Then, measurable attributes are identified for each customer need and used as the input parameters to establish a multi-attribute utility function for individuals. In the 3rd step, customer group’s different preferences are derived from individual customer’s preference to determine a final weight for each customer need. The approach is validated through a case study.
