Neural Networks for Multi-Finger Robot Hand Control

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper investigates the employment of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for a multi-finger robot hand manipulation in which the object motion is defined in task-space with respect to six Cartesian based coordinates. The approach followed here is to let an ANN learn the nonlinear functional relating the entire hand joints positions and displacements to object displacement. This is done by considering the inverse hand Jacobian, in addition to the interaction between hand fingers and the object being grasped and manipulated. The developed network has been trained for several object training patterns and postures within a Cartesian based palm dimension. The paper demonstrates the proposed algorithm for a four fingered robot hand, where inverse hand Jacobian plays an important role in robot hand dynamic control.
Designing Carbon Nanotube Membranes for Efficient Water Desalination

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The transport of water and ions through membranes formed from carbon nanotubes ranging in diameter from 6 to 11 A is studied using molecular dynamics simulations under hydrostatic pressure and equilibrium conditions. Membranes incorporating carbon nanotubes are found to be promising candidates for water desalination using reverse osmosis, and the size and uniformity of tubes that is required to achieve a desired salt rejection is determined. By calculating the potential of mean force for ion and water translocation, we show that ions face a large energy barrier and will not pass through the narrower tubes studied ((5,5) and (6,6) "armchair" type tubes) but can pass through the wider (7,7) and (8,8) nanotubes. Water, however, faces no such impediment due to the formation of stable hydrogen bonds and crosses all of the tubes studied at very large rates. By measuring this conduction rate under a hydrostatic pressure difference, we show that membranes incorporating carbon nanotubes can, in principle, achieve a high degree of desalination at flow rates far in excess of existing membranes.
Beta toxin catalyzes formation of nucleoprotein matrix in staphylococcal biofilms

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Biofilms are surface-associated communities of microbes encompassed by an extracellular matrix. It is estimated that 80% of all bacterial infections involve biofilm formation, but the structure and regulation of biofilms are incompletely understood. Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is a major structural component in many biofilms of the pathogenic bacterium Staphylococcus aureus , but its role is enigmatic. Here, we demonstrate that beta toxin, a neutral sphingomyelinase and a virulence factor of S. aureus , forms covalent cross-links to itself in the presence of DNA (we refer to this as biofilm ligase activity, independent of sphingomyelinase activity) producing an insoluble nucleoprotein matrix in vitro. Furthermore, we show that beta toxin strongly stimulates biofilm formation in vivo as demonstrated by a role in causation of infectious endocarditis in a rabbit model. Together, these results suggest that beta toxin cross-linking in the presence of eDNA assists in forming the skeletal framework upon which staphylococcal biofilms are established.

Through the follow up studies of ten cases of the unilateral total hip replacement on bilateral coxa arthrosis, we have got the following results.1. The average total hip point at the time of follow up were 79.6. The points before the operation were 34.6.2. Pain of the unoperated hip and the osteoarthritic findings on X-ray film did not improved or unchanged in 6 cases (60%) and got worse in 4 cases (40%).3. Operative intervention for the unoperated hip should be decided after 2 or 3 years from unilateral hip replacement.
Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of New Pyrimidine Derivatives Incorporating 1H-Tetrazol-5-ylthio Moiety

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

In this study, some new 4,6-dimethoxy pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized. 2-Amino-4,6-dimethoxy-5-thiocyanatopyrimidine (2) was synthesized by a reaction of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine with KSCN and was converted into 2-amino-5-(1H-tetrazol-5-ylthio)-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine (4) by treatment with NaN3 in the presence of NH4Cl in DMF. Then, 1,5-disubstitute tetrazole compounds were obtained from 4 by the alkylation reaction. In addition, some 2-chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-5-substitute-pyrimidines were synthesized by the diazotization method. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of IR, 1H NMR, APT, and HRMS spectral data and were evaluated for antibacterial activities against various bacterial strains. The results showed that some of these compounds exhibited good antibacterial activity as that of standard antibiotics Penicillin, Ampicillin, and Erythromycin.

Basilea rabbit immunoglobulins: detection and characterization by specific alloantiserum.

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Evidence is provided for the existence of the Fbbas (Basilea) gene product (allotype). Specific antisera were raised by immunization of rabbits that did not possess the Basilea genes. With the help of these antisera, the Basilea allotype was detected in sera from rabbits, homozygous and heterozygous with respect to Basilea gene. The Basilea gene is expressed on a very low proportion of immunoglobulin molecules. The isoelectric point of the Basilea light chains is distinct from that of the lambda-light chains (peaks at pH 4.7 and 5.5, respectively). Sera from a large proportion of Ab9-positive rabbits of the Basel Institute for Immunology that were heterozygous at the Ab locus reacted with the anti-Basilea serum, even though they could no possess the Basilea gene at the Ab locus. Sera from Ab9-positive rabbits from Toronto were Basilea-negative. It was suggested that Ab9 and Basilea allotypes are controlled at closely linked loci. Ab9 haplotype prevalent in the Basel animal colony, possesses both Ab9 and Basilea genes, whereas the corresponding Toronto haplotype has only the Ab9, but not Basilea gene. The formation of the Basilea genotype was attributed to a crossing over, during which the Ab9 and Basilea genes separated.
Mitigating Distracted Driving

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The scourge of distracted driving is not limited to any one demographic group or nation. It is global and affects every victim and victims’ families. This dire situation, caused largely by technology such as texting, requires technological solutions, including new traffic safety countermeasures. The transverse rumble strip, a countermeasure reinvented in 2009 as the temporary portable rumble strip, is already proving a significant, innovative addition to work zone safety processes and procedures. This device is designed to reduce accidents and save lives by alerting drivers to changing road conditions. Our presentation will show and discuss design criteria of the temporary portable rumble strip, how the device alerts drivers, work zone applications in which to install temporary rumble strips, and specifications from governing agencies. Attendees will learn effective methods to reduce work zone accidents, techniques to reduce drivers’ speeds in work zones, and how to include the temporary portable rumble strip in design plans and specifications. The installation of RoadQuake 2 temporary portable rumble strip on I-65 in northwest Indiana in fall 2013 will be used as an example.
Modeling a severe supply chain disruption and post-disaster decision making with application to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Modern supply chains are increasingly vulnerable to disruptions, and a disruption in one part of the world can cause supply difficulties for companies around the globe. This article develops a model of severe supply chain disruptions in which several suppliers suffer from disabled production facilities and firms that purchase goods from those suppliers may consequently suffer a supply shortage. Suppliers and firms can choose disruption management strategies to maintain operations. A supplier with a disabled facility may choose to move production to an alternate facility, and a firm encountering a supply shortage may be able to use inventory or buy supplies from an alternate supplier. The supplier’s and firm’s optimal decisions are expressed in terms of model parameters such as the cost of each strategy, the chances of losing business, and the probability of facilities reopening. The model is applied to a simulation based on the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami, which closed several facilities of key suppliers in the automobile industry and caused supply difficulties for both Japanese and U.S. automakers.
Who Cares for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Child?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In the article by Levin and colleagues (Cytomegalovirus retinitis in an infant with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Pediatrics.1989;84:683-687), the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis in an infant infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with the investigational drug ganciclovir is described. The mother of this child was known to be HIV-antibody positive 9 months prior to conception of this child (presumably by sexual contact). Despite apparent successful treatment of his cytomegalovirus retinitis, this baby died 6 weeks after ganciclovir therapy from a fulminant Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. He had normal immunoglobulin levels but reduced number of helper cells. A number of important questions are raised by this tragic case.
Haemangioma of the Maxillary Sinus

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A case of haemangioma of the left maxillary sinus is reported. Epistaxis from the left nasal cavity was the only presenting symptom. The tumor was completely excised by left lateral rhinotomy. The pre-operative diagnostic procedures included plain views, conventional tomography, CT, RI scanning and selective carotid arteriography, which all contributed to a definite pre-operative diagnosis of the tumour.
Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man : Secularizing the Fortunate Fall and Apocalypse

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This essay shows how Ellison secularizes the notion of the Fortunate Fall— vis-à-vis Genesis, Revelation, Augustine, and Milton—in order to deepen his novel’s characterization and socio-political meaning in relation to American history and its flawed founding and early fallenness based on slavery and racism. Gradually, the Invisible Man develops a potentially fortunate vision of his own life and American democracy, blending realism that respects diversity, division, and responsibility and idealism that seeks secular ( i.e. , broadly political) forms of transcendence.
Graph database: A case study for detecting fraud in acquisition of Brazilian Government

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Procurement is one of the main forms of acquisition of the Federal Government and are subject to fraud and corruption. In this context, many institutions such as the Brazilian Office of the Controller General try to identify fraud evidences, e.g., use of queries in databases with information about partnership of companies owned by the same group of people to simulate competition. However, many of these queries are manual or limited by the use of information systems databases. This paper explore the benefits of using graph NoSQL databases to identify the relationships between companies to detect fraud in procurement. A case study was carried out to validate the use of NoSQL databases using companies' partnership information based on queries defined by the CGU's auditors.

Wheat-associated bacterial and fungal communities during the interaction of Fusarium graminearum and Trichoderma gamsii T6085 and infection of a CRISPR/Cas9 derived green-fluorescent protein labeled Leptosphaeria maculans strain on Brassica napus

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The microbial diseases in agriculturally important crops have become a critical problem in countries all around the world. The plant diseases caused by various pathogens are unique and require different management strategies to prevent spreading. The Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease in wheat and the blackleg disease in canola are two major diseases that have been reported all around the world. While the primary causative agents of FHB are Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum, the primary causative agent of the blackleg disease is the Leptosphaeria maculans. All these pathogens are Ascomycetes and feed on decaying plant material. They can survive throughout the winter within dead plant material and initiate infections during spring and summer. The first objective of the current work was to analyze the microbiome associated with wheat plants and to evaluate the effectiveness of the biocontrol method for FHB management in wheat. This work examined the impact of inoculation with Trichoderma gamsii strain T6085 as a biocontrol agent on the natural bacterial and fungal community associated with wheat plants. The effect of T. gamsii T6085 on the microbial communities in wheat tissues was minimal. However, the current T. gamsii T6085 application method needs to be improved to have a good inhibition in the growth of F. graminearum. The second objective of this work was to understand the behaviour of a mutant L. maculans isolate generated through the CRISPR/Cas9 gene engineering technique. The mutant and its wild-type progenitor were tagged with the egfp gene, which expressed the green fluorescent reporter protein. The transformation of L. maculans with the egfp gene led to a decrease in their pathogenicity. According to the results, the mutant L. maculans isolate can colonize the plant tissues, but the plant defence responses inhibit its growth through a hypersensitive reaction.
Musculoskeletal Soft-Tissue Sarcoma: Quality Assessment of Initial MRI Reports Shows Frequent Deviation from ESSR Guidelines

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) are a rare subtype of soft-tissue mass and are frequently misinterpreted as benign lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the primary recommended type of diagnostics. To assess the quality of primary radiology reports, we investigated whether recommended MRI report elements were included in compliance with European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) guidelines. A total of 1107 patients were evaluated retrospectively, and 126 radiological reports on patients with malignant STS were assessed for ESSR quality criteria. One or more required sequences or planes were missing in 67% of the reports. In all 126 cases, the report recognized the mass as anomalous (100%). Sixty-eight percent of the reports mentioned signs of malignancy. The majority of reports (n = 109, 87%) articulated a suspected diagnosis, 32 of which showed a mismatch with the final diagnosis (25%). Thirty-two percent of the reports had a misinterpretation of the masses as benign. Benign misinterpretations were more common in masses smaller than 5 cm (65% vs. 27%). Thirty percent of the reports suggested tissue biopsy and 6% recommended referral to a sarcoma center. MRI reports showed frequent deviations from ESSR guidelines, and protocol guidelines were not routinely met. Deviations from standard protocol and reporting guidelines could put patients at risk for inadequate therapy.
Analysis of Code Switching and Code Mixing on the “Bajra” Film at the Darus Salam Modern Islamic Boarding School Gontor Ponorogo

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Darus Salam Gontor Islamic boarding school students have designed a film entitled Bajra due to the student’s creativity. In the movie, the phenomenon of code-switching and code-mixing in communication between students in the boarding school environment is found. This study aims to discover the types of code-switching and code-mixing in the Bajra film and the causes of their occurrence in the movie. This type of research is qualitative descriptive. At the same time, the data collection method uses listening/listening techniques in the Bajra film and notes essential points about the types of code-switching and code-mixing as well as the causes of what happened in the movie. The results showed that there were 3 types of code-switching in Bajra film: Metaphorical code-switching, Conversational code-switching, and situational code-switching. Meanwhile, code-mixing occurs in words, phrases, and clauses. The causes of code-switching and code-mixing are of two types, namely internal and external causes.
A follow-up of patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, focusing on multimodal rehabilitation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Chronic pain is usually defined as pain of more than three months duration. The prevalence of chronic pain among the general population in Sweden is 18%. Compared with the general population, these patients report lower life satisfaction, decreased activity in daily life and higher levels of depression with decreased work ability, and increased sick leave. Research indicates that multimodal rehabilitation (MMR) programmes, including cognitive behavioural approaches for patients disabled by chronic pain, are effective for return to work. The primary aim of this thesis was to assess outcomes by a long-term follow-up of patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Furthermore, the aim was to evaluate two different rehabilitation strategies regarding impact on pain intensity, activity, depression, life satisfactions, and sick leave. Two groups, comprising 255 (between the years 1999-2002) and 296 (between 2007-2008) patients respectively, from the Pain Rehabilitation Clinic at Umeå University Hospital, Sweden, were all assessed by interdisciplinary teams. They completed questionnaires regarding pain intensity, disability, life satisfaction, anxiety and depression, and sick leave, before intervention, immediately after intervention (only the first group; n=255), and at one-year follow-up, after participating in a MMR programme in a specialist clinic, or after receiving a rehabilitation plan (RP) with follow-up in primary care. Allocation to either of the two groups was based on the initial interdisciplinary team assessment. Furthermore, a five-year follow-up of 158 patients with whiplash injury was conducted. Pain intensity decreased and life satisfaction increased significantly regarding somatic health in both groups, at follow-up. In addition, depression improved and disability decreased to a higher extent after participating in the MMR programme as compared to RP and subsequent follow-up in primary care. Patients’ positive beliefs about recovery, and positive expectations about work correlated with favourable rehabilitation outcomes. Sick leave at one year follow-up decreased in both groups. Regarding whiplash injury, patients who reported moderate or severe disability also reported significantly higher pain intensity, depression and post-traumatic stress scores and lower perception of general health compared with patients who reported mild or no disability. In conclusion, MMR programmes seem to be beneficial by decreasing pain intensity, depression, disability and sick leave among patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Furthermore, patients’ positive beliefs correlate with more favourable long-term outcomes. An interdisciplinary team assessment based on a biopsychosocial approach may be of value for selection of rehabilitation strategy.
