Defectless and Uniform Single-Crystallite Dispersions of Sustainable Wood Nanocellulose with a Regulated Right-Handed Twist Periodicity

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Controlling the quality of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), such as dispersibility and defects, is crucial for fully exploiting sustainable wood-derived CNFs. The dispersibility of CNFs is now tailorable, whereas the defects are still uncontrollable. This study is the first to demonstrate defect suppression through the selection of raw material species and the chemical pretreatment for cellulose. Two raw materials of softwood pulp and holocellulose are chosen from the perspective of the nanoscale supramolecular structure of plant celluloses. These two materials are subjected to regioselective surface oxidation using 4-acetamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl as a catalyst at two different pHs to prepare four types of CNFs. Through statistical analysis of the CNF morphology using atomic force microscopy (AFM) image processing, we found a process yielding defectless CNF dispersions comprising uniform single crystallite units of cellulose. Wavelet transform analysis of AFM height profiles further revealed that the defectless CNFs exhibit regulated twist periodicity along much of their length.
100 Computed Tomography Findings Consistent With Rhinosinusitis, Clinical Correlation and Quality of Life in Patients With Common Variable Immunodeficiency. Original Article

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND: Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a reduction and/or absence of IgG, IgM and IgA to respiratory tract infections and/or gastrointestinal can be associated with lymphoproliferative and autoimmune processes. The infections found in paranasal sinuses are an important cause of morbidity and generate deterioration in the quality of life in this patient population. Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) of the sinuses is the Gold standard for diagnosis of rhinosinusitis. The Rhinosinusitis disability index (RSDI) developed by Benninger and Senior, evaluates the quality of life in patients with nasal disease, including rhinosinusitis. METHODS: Fourteen patients were included with a definitive diagnosis of CVID according to the diagnostic criteria of the European Society for Immunodeficiencies in each of the patients were evaluated: (1) The diagnostic criteria according to the European Consensus on Rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis (EPOS 2007) (2) MDCT of Sinuses. (3) Each patient answered the questionnaire of RSDI. Correlation was calculated using Spearman Ro (rs). RESULTS: Ten patients were female (71.4%) and 4 were male (28.5%). The average age was 34 years. In 8 patients (57%) received the diagnosis of rhinosinusitis. The maxillary sinus was affected in 5 patients find us (45%), followed by ethmoid sinus (36%), frontal sinus and sphenoid was affected in 9% of patients. The correlation between clinical symptoms and MDCT study was consistent with rhinosinusitis rs = 0.84. The correlation between the clinical diagnosis, CT and rhinosinusitis disability index was rs = 0.71. In 5 of the 14 patients studied showed no clinical symptoms of rinosinuistis, but in MDCT of the sinuses if they showed data compatible with the disease. Three of these patients showed bilateral location (69%) and in one patient the findings were found in 3 sinuses frontal, ethmoid and maxillary. CONCLUSIONS: The sinus infection is a major cause of morbidity in patients with CVID. As in the initial study, should include a CT scan of paranasal sinuses for proper assessment and timely diagnosis.
Automatic noise floor spectrum estimation in the presence of signals

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper describes a technique for automatically estimating the noise floor spectrum in the presence of signals. The technique works equally well for both flat and non-flat noise floor spectra. The technique is based on applying morphological binary image processing operators to a binary image of the received power spectrum. It is related to rank-order filters but is more computationally efficient. The performance is illustrated on the detection of radio signals.
Selective peripheral blood eosinophilia associated with survival advantage in Hodgkin's disease (BNLI Report No 31). British National Lymphoma Investigation.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A peripheral blood eosinophilia was found at presentation in 193 of 1260 (15%) patients with Hodgkin's disease who had been entered into clinical studies by the British National Lymphoma Investigation (BNLI). Eosinophilia as a component of a general leucocytosis conferred no survival advantage. Eosinophilia without a general leucocytosis was present in 95 patients, and this selective eosinophilia was associated with a clear survival advantage. The association of selective eosinophilia and improved survival was limited to patients with mixed cellularity and grade I nodular sclerosis histology. Selective eosinophilia was found to be a good prognostic indicator both in local and generalised disease. Its survival advantage seemed to lie in the response to second line treatment following relapse.
JAPANESE GARDENS: FROM THE MIDDLE AGES TO PUBLIC SPACES OF THE MEIJI ERA

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Gardens in Japan appeared in the 7th century AD and were formed in accordance with Chinese geomantic ideas. They were not intended for aesthetic admiration and had primarily a utilitarian function: protecting the owner of the house from harmful environmental influences (evil spirits). This function was ensured by the “correct” arrangement of stones and the “correct” arrangement of water flows. These rules were formulated in the first treatise on garden art that has come down to us, “Sakuteiki” (“Records on the Arrangement of Gardens”), which was written by Tachibana no Toshitsuna (1028–1094). To avoid curse from other people, the garden plan was kept secret and known only to the owner. During the Tokugawa period (1603–1867), princes (daimyo) began to establish huge gardens, which served as an indicator of their power. Strangers were not allowed inside, but these gardens acquired an aesthetic function, as demonstrated by the example of the Rikugien Garden in Edo. After the Meiji Revolution, the class organization of society was abolished and the goal of creating a unified Japanese nation was posed. The establishment of gardens of a new public (Western) type was supposed to serve to attain this goal. All types of former gardens were models of ideal nature; public gardens were designed to model state values. Using the example of the Ueno Garden, it is shown that public gardens were a specific space where the authorities demonstrated to the Japanese the value picture of a “modern” imperial-type state.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The level ofyouth unemployment in Nigeriaisvery high in Nigeria; with itsattendantadverse psychological, social, occupational and financial effects.This paper stresses on thecauses and consequences of youth unemployment in Nigeria.The paper also highlights on Technical Vocational Education (TVE) in Nigeria.Conclusions were drawn and recommendations made on how TVE will reduce the level of youth unemployment in Nigeria amongst which are: Graduates of the programs should be encouraged to be selfemployed by assisting them with soft loans and/or micro credit.The quality of technical and vocational educational output must be improved if the expected outcome of employment creation and poverty reduction is to be achieved.The task of TVE provision cannot be tackled by government alone.The involvement of major Nigerian stakeholders, complemented by partnerships with international agencies, NGOs, Foundations, (etc.) will be essential if the goals and potentials of Nigerians are to be realized using TVE for job creation and poverty alleviation.
Natural Products from Polygonum perfoliatum and their Diverse Biological Activities

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Nine components were isolated from the methanol extract of the whole herb of Polygonum perfoliatum and evaluated for their antioxidant activity. Among them, α-tocopherol and methyl trans-ferulate showed significant DPPH free radical scavenging effects with EC 50 values of 11.9 and 7.8 μg/mL, respectively. In addition, five phenolic acids, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, and vanillic acid were isolated from the aqueous extracts of the plant and identified by means of paper and high performance liquid chromatography. These five compounds were confirmed to be allelopathic substances by bioassay against the radicle growth of lettuce ( Lactuca sativa), Chinese cabbage ( Brassica oleracea), and radish ( Raphanus acanthiformis).
Leukopenia Related to Haloperidol in a Case of Chronic Untreated Schizophrenia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Haloperidol is a commonly prescribed first-generation antipsychotic drug in psychiatric practice. It is usually well tolerated and presents with few side effects such as sedation, antiparkinsonian features, and hypotension. Few cases have been reported on leukopenia with haloperidol, none from India. We present a case where a patient with untreated schizophrenia for 9 years developed leukopenia (total leukocyte count [TLC] = 2800 cells/mm 3 ) at 20 mg of oral haloperidol, in our inpatient setting. He chiefly presented with fever. The causality of adverse drug reaction (ADR) was attributed to haloperidol and using the Naranjo algorithm, the score recorded was 8, suggesting probable causal association. Hartwig's Severity Assessment Scale showed the severity of the ADR to be Level 4 (moderate severity). There was prompt reversal after drug discontinuation (TLC = 7000 cells/mm 3 at discharge). Risk factors, possible mechanisms, and role of monitoring are discussed.
Thermodynamics of Random Ferromagnetic Antiferromagnetic Spin-1/2 Chains

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Using the quantum Monte Carlo Loop algorithm, we calculate the temperature dependence of the uniform susceptibility, the specific heat, the correlation length, the generalized staggered susceptibility and magnetization of a spin-1/2 chain with random antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic couplings, down to very low temperatures. Our data show a consistent scaling behavior in all the quantities and support strongly the conjecture drawn from the approximate real-space renormalization group treatment.A statistical analysis scheme is developed which will be useful for the search of scaling behavior in numerical and experimental data of random spin chains.
The interaction between a change in substance use/consequences and a change in moral agency as a mechanism for decreased criminal involvement in low-to-moderate and high-risk youth

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a turning point (change in substance use and substance-related problems) and a cognitive variable (a change in moral agency) interacted to predict recidivism and future offending. Participants were 7,117 (5,640 males, 1,477 females) low-to-moderate-risk justice-involved youth from the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice study and 1,354 (1,170 males and 184 females) high-risk justice-involved youth from the Pathways to Desistance study. The main effects for a change in moral agency and a change in substance use, as well as a change in their interaction, predicted a change in offending. A potentially important inter-study difference surfaced in which the interaction occurred at the promotion end of the bipolar continuum in the low-to-moderate-risk sample (moral agency and absence of substance use/problems), and at the risk end of the bipolar continuum in the high-risk sample (moral neutralization and more social consequences for substance use). It would appear that another way turning points contribute to desistance besides addition/mediation and reciprocity is by interacting with relevant cognitive factors like moral agency.
A convolutional neural network approach to early detect physiological disorders and maturity in ‘Abate Fétel’ pears

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Image processing through the implementation of manually coded algorithms has been adopted to sort fruit depending on their defects and quality during postharvest operations. This study tested convolution neural networks with “You Only Look Once” (YOLO) architecture using a commercial online platform to detect physiological disorders and ripening stage in ‘Abbé Fétel’ pears. Storage disorders such as superficial scald and the starch pattern index (SPI) were assessed. Two different models were trained to detect: I) early symptoms of superficial scald or senescence scald on pear skin; II) the SPI value of pears assessed using the Lugol solution. Preliminary statistics showed that the first model reached low accuracy (up to 20% of true positives) but maintained a good average precision (60%) with different confidence thresholds (40 and 20%). The second had good performances compared to the CTIFL and Laimburg scales, with an F1 score of 0.36 and 0.59, respectively. The effectiveness of the transfer learning method was demonstrated. However, further image labeling and modeling research is needed to improve the performance of the simulations and to develop an application for portable devices for pre and postharvest quality assessment. These results could provide effective tools for producers to manage pears in different cold rooms and thus help them to ensure consumers acceptance.
Common channel syndrome--diagnosis with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and surgical management.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Six patients with intermittent bouts of vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, and jaundice beginning in infancy or early childhood were all demonstrated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to have an anomalous junction of the pancreaticobiliary ductal system with the formation of a characteristic long common channel. A varying degree of dilatation of the bile duct also was noted. Resection of choledochus followed by hepaticoduodenostomy was performed with satisfactory results invariably in all cases. The existence of a pathologic entity that might reasonably be designated "common channel syndrome" is discussed with some comments on its relationship with dilatation of the bile duct (choledochal cyst) as well as on the recommendable method of surgical treatment.
Relational concepts and challenges to network analysis in social archaeology

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In this chapter I offer a theoretical perspective on the challenges faced by archaeologists in addressing micro-scale social interactions with network concepts. I do this by sketching three ontologies – very loosely defined as Melanesian, Classical and Gothic – which allow us to imagine the possibility that social interactions may be locally conceived in ways that do not lend themselves to being abstracted in network terms. If, for example, people are socially constructed as dividuals, with their identity distributed across relations with other people and with things, then it could be difficult identifying separable entities for the purposes of network analysis. I argue that this kind of challenge needs to be tackled through the development of models that problematize these kinds of micro-scale phenomena.
Scaling Up Innovative Participatory Design for Public Transportation Planning: Lessons from Experiments in the Global South

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

New data, new technologies, and greater computational power are changing the possibilities for involving stakeholders in transportation planning. This article explores these possibilities by comparing deployments of an interactive web-based public transportation mapping system in four cities of the Global South. Structured workshops focused on different public transportation improvement projects and involved different types of stakeholders. Despite the differences across the workshops, they allow for some comparison of the effects. In relation to the technology itself, participants broadly agreed about its usefulness and usability. Pre-/post-workshop surveys suggest that participants learned about the transportation projects presented but reveal modest evidence in relation to other impacts, such as learning about the concept of accessibility, and gaining an appreciation for the potential broader urban system impacts of public transport projects. Knowledge among the participants tended to converge, and the tool helped promote dialog among participants and generated some empathy for others. The workshop experiences provide some hope for such tools in enhancing public transportation planning processes, globally, but “scaling up” the technology would need to overcome institutional, technical, and procedural challenges.

Blueberry phytochemicals inhibit growth and metastatic potential of MDA‐MB‐231 breast cancer cells through modulation of the Phosphatidylinositol 3‐Kinase pathway

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

This study investigated the chemopreventive activity of blueberries in triple negative breast cancer. Blueberry juice decreased cell proliferation and motility of MDA-MB-231 cells and decreased matrix metalloproteinase -9 activity and urokinase-type plasminogen activator secretion while increasing tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 secretion. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT and nuclear factor kappa-B (NFκB) activation was decreased in MDA-MB-231 cells, where protein kinase C and extracellular regulated kinase activity were not affected. In vivo, daily gavage of blueberry juice in MDA-MB-231 xenograft-bearing mice significantly decreased tumor growth through decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis compared to controls. Blueberry ingestion decreased activation of AKT and p65 NFκB signaling proteins in tumor samples. Freeze-dried blueberry powder incorporated into the diet showed that 5 and 10% blueberry powder significantly decreased MDA-MB-231 tumor volume. Microarray analysis of tumors from 5% blueberry-fed mice revealed significant changes in genes important to inflammation, cell signaling and metastasis compared to control-fed mice. Metastasis was decreased in mice fed a 5% blueberry diet. These data illustrate the inhibitory effect of blueberry on the growth and metastatic potential of MDA-MB-231 cells.
Three-phase chemical models of dense interstellar clouds: gas, dust particle mantles and dust particle surfaces

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Gas-grain models of the chemistry of dense interstellar clouds are presented in which two grain phases surrounding refractory cores are included. In addition to the actual grain surfaces, on which chemistry occurs, grain mantles, which are formed as adsorbed material trapped below new layers of such material, are considered. Material in grain mantles is assumed to be chemically inert, and therefore protected against destruction. The dust grain and gas temperatures are fixed at 10 K and the gas density |$n = n (\text H) + 2n(\text {H}_{2})$| remains at approximately |$2 \times {10}^{4} \text {cm}^{-3}$| in these models. Differences between the current three-phase (gas–mantle–surface) model results and those of previous two-phase (gas–surface) models for the overall grain abundances of individual species are small for inert species, but can be substantial for chemically reactive species, especially at late times ( ≥ 106 yr) after non-reactive, protected mantles have been built up. It is possible to obtain molecular abundances for different mantle layers deposited at different times; we find that all layers are dominated by water ice. The calculated condensed phase abundance of CO depends strongly on the surface abundance of atomic hydrogen.
