Relapse rate and long-term management of plaque psoriasis after treatment with photochemotherapy and dithranol.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The relapse rate of plaque psoriasis after initial clearing with the "Ingram" dithranol regimen or photochemotherapy was comparable when no maintenance treatment was given. It was estimated that psoriasis recurs to half of its pretreatment extent after about six months in half the patients. Maintenance treatment with photochemotherapy once a week or once every three weeks was useful in reducing the relapse rate. This study failed to show any statistical difference in relapse rates between these two maintenance schedules. If this finding turns out to be true over longer periods of study the maintenance schedule entailing treatment once every three weeks with its lower cumulative dose of long-wave ultraviolet light will clearly be preferable. The psoriasis in most patients was under better overall control with maintenance treatment than with intermittant clearing courses given when the extent of the psoriasis had become unacceptable to them. There was, however, a group of roughly one-fifth of patients who remained in satisfactory remission for over 16 months after initial clearing. Regular maintenance treatment was unnecessary in them. Much more information is needed on response to treatment in subgroups of patients to permit recognition from the start of which patients are likely to have long remission and which are not.
Circular Raft Footings Strengthened By Stone Columns Under Dynamic Harmonic Loads

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Stone column technique has been successfully employed to improve the load-settlement characteristics of foundations. A series of finite element numerical analyses of harmonic dynamic loading have been conducted on strengthened raft footing to study the effects of single and group stone columns on settlement of circular footings. The settlement of circular raft footing that improved by single and group of stone columns are studied under harmonic dynamic loading. This loading is caused by heavy machinery foundations. A detailed numerical investigation on behavior of single column and group of stone columns is carried out by varying parameters like weight of machinery, loading frequency and period. The result implies that presence of single and group of stone columns enhanced dynamic behavior of the footing so that the maximum and residual settlement of footing significantly decreased.
Call centre service quality for the public: a Scottish framework for the future

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the quality of service provided by the Stirling Council call centre with a view to determining the essential elements of best practice. Design/methodology/approach The method involves questionnaires to Scottish local authorities about their use of call centres, interviews with Stirling Council managers and call centre employees and some participant observation to gain a detailed view of both the management and operations of the call centre. Findings The findings are grouped into the topics of communication, training, quality and systems/technology, with improvements suggested in a few areas. Overall, the approach to service quality in the call centre tends to be more qualitative than quantitative with a good awareness of learning and management related issues. Originality/value The value/contribution of the paper lies in the definition of essential best practice call centre management components, presented in a framework involving aims, enablers and results. This model is proposed for generalised use in both the public and private sectors; it would henceforth benefit from some testing and further refinements.
Area selection for conservation of Mexican mammals

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Three sets of priority cells for mammal conservation in Mexico were identified using distributional data. A complementarity approach was implemented through linear integer programming. The minimum set of sites required for the representation of each mammal species varied between 38 (5.4%) grid cells for at least one occurrence, 110 (15.6%) grid cells for at least three occurrences, and 173 (24.5%) grid cells for at least five occurrences. The complementary analyses mainly highlighted three regions of particular concern for mammal conservation in Mexico: (i) the trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and natural provinces of the Pacific Coast, (ii) Sierra Madre del Sur and the Highlands of Chiapas, and (iii) the northern portion of the Sierra Madre Occidental. The results reported here did not indicate absolute priority locations for conservation activities, but rather identified locations warranting further investigation at finer resolutions more appropriate to such activity
A Series of One‐ to Three‐Dimensional Copper Coordination Polymers Based on N‐Heterocyclic Ligands

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A family of copper coordination polymers containing different N‐heterocyclic ligands, namely [Cu(CN)(dmpyz)] n ( 1 ),[Cu 2 (CN) 2 (imz)] n ( 2 ), [Cu 3 (CN)(trz) 2 ] n ( 3 ), [Cu 6 (CN) 6 (dmtrz) 3 ] n ( 4 ), [Cu 2 (CN)(5‐metta)] n ( 5 ), [Cu 2 (CN)(5‐phtta)] n ( 6 ), and {[Cu 6 (CN) 6 (dmtrz)] 2 [Cu 2 (CN) 2 (dmtrz) 2 ]} n ( 7 ) has been prepared and structurally characterized by X‐ray crystallography. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 are 1D chain frameworks. Compound 3 is a twofold interpenetrating 2D supramolecular framework in which the cyanide groups act as bridging ligands to link the copper centers into an unusual bilayer motif with large channels. Compounds 4 – 6 all possess 3D networks. Compound 4 is constructed by two parts: 2D rectangular‐grid layers and {Cu 2 (CN) 2 (dmtrz) 2 } building blocks. Compound 5 is built up by X‐shaped chains that connect each other in an ABAB arrangement to generate the3D network. The structure of 6 is a 3D network includingone‐dimensional square‐grid channels, with a shortest Cu2 ··· Cu2A (A: – x + 1, – y + 1, – z ) distance of about 2.347(1) Å. Compound 7 features a peculiar 3D + 1D network in which 1D guest metal‐organic polymer chains are filled in an unusual 3D architecture constructed by double helical host tubes. Compounds 1 – 7 show a systematic variation in dimensionality from 1D to 3D to 3D + 1D. The luminescence properties of these compounds have been also studied. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Vertical Deformation Difference Analysis of Super High-rise Hybrid Structures Considering Construction Process

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In the paper,the vertical deformation of a super high-rise structure during construction and service was analyzed.According to concrete creep and shrinkage provisions in CEB-FIP Code,the vertical deformation difference between CFT column and reinforced concrete core wall was calculated;and the influence of deformation on the inner force of key members was estimated.The factors such as construction sequence,creep and shrinkage of concrete,and construction adjustment were considered in the calculation.The results show that the maximum vertical deformation of composite columns was 50 mm on the 51th floor,while that of reinforced concrete core wall was 55 mm on the 51th floor.The maximum vertical deformation difference reaches 12.9mm on the 68th floor,one year after the completion of the main structure.Additional internal forces of outrigger,caused by the vertical deformation difference are small and the structure has enough safety redundancy.
Greed, idealization, and the paranoid-schizoid experience of insatiability

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Some patients try to reach an internal vision of an ideal object they can bond with and find emotional nourishment from. The way they go about this quest is desperate and aggressive, the result of extreme greed. This greed is bound with anxieties of loss, envy, and guilt, all experienced within the paranoid-schizoid position. These patients rely heavily on the defenses of splitting and projective identification, which are used to maintain the phantasy of an ideal object or an ideal self. Some patients wish to merge with this wonderful object. With an insatiable hunger, they empty it of all its goodness. Others turn these urges inward and strive to become perfect themselves. As Melanie Klein has pointed out, these strong cycles of greed and envy cause even greater levels of persecutory fear. Case material is used for illustration.

Virtual organelle self-coding for fluorescence imaging via adversarial learning

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

These findings contribute to the understanding of the utility and limitations of deep learning image-regression to predict fluorescence microscopy datasets of biological cells. We infer that predicted image labels must have either a structural and/or a functional relationship to input labels. Furthermore, the approach introduced here holds promise for modeling the internal spatial relationships between organelles and biomolecules within living cells, leading to detection and quantification of alterations from a standard training dataset.
Biodiversidad y seguridad

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Agricultural biodiversity, which is crucial to feed humanity, for the\nenvironment and sustainable development, is being lost at an alarming\nrate. Considering the enormous interdependence of countries and\ngenerations on this diversity, its loss raises socioeconomic, ethical,\npolitical and strategic implications which are capable of endangering\nfood security, national sovereignty and global Security. The negotiation\nand ratification of an international treaty binding on the countries and\nthe development of technologies to conserve and use resources more\neffectively are the reasons for hope. But it is necessary to act now\nbefore it is too late. This chapter also identifies the challenges that\nwe face in this area and makes recommendations to the national and\ninternational level to overcome them successfully.
ARCTIC The Fate of Oil in the Water Column Following Experimental Oil Spills in the Arctic Marine Nearshore

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT. Petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in the water column were monitored after a release of crude oil onto the water surface and subsurface release of chemically dispersed oil. During the surface r lease, petroleum hydrocarbons did not disperse into the water column deeper than m. The highest concentrations observed under the slick were less than 2 m g P. The chemically dispersed oil release resulted in concentrations over 5 mg.f &apos; in the Bay 9 study area for 12 hours, and petroleum hydrocarbons were detectable by in siru fluorometry for more than 4 days. The dispersed oil di not undergo further weathering for 24 hours. Estimated exposures of the benthic communities to oil in the three experimental bays were 3 mgd-&apos;.h, 3 mg.f&apos;.h, and 300 mg#&apos;.h respectively.

Comparison Between Peripheral and Central Blood Cultures in Pediatric Oncology Patients With Blood Stream Infections

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Current guidelines for fever in children with cancer recommend obtaining blood cultures from all lumens of the central venous catheter (CVC) and to consider a concurrent peripheral blood culture. We assessed the characteristics of blood stream infections (BSI) in oncology children and compared central and peripheral pathogen growth. Methods: A prospective, computerized surveillance of BSI in children treated at the oncology unit between May 2014 and July 2020. The growth of the same organism within a month was considered a single episode, ≥2 organisms in the same culture were defined as different episodes. Only children with concomitant cultures, drawn at presentation before initiation of antibiotics were included in the comparison between CVC and peripheral cultures. Results: A total of 139 episodes in 81 children (with implanted Port-A-catheters) were considered true BSI. Of the 94/139 (67.6%) cases where a central and peripheral culture were concomitantly obtained, 52/94 (55.3%) had positive central/peripheral cultures that grew the same organism, 31/94 (33.0%) had positive central cultures only, and 11/94 (11.7%) had positive peripheral cultures only. In 3/94 cases, the organisms that grew from the CVC were not identical to those from the peripheral site. Four of 52 (7.7%) of the same positive central/peripheral pathogens had different susceptibility testing results. Higher CVC removal rates were observed when both peripheral and CVC cultures were positive ( P =0.044). Conclusions: Overall, 11.7% of BSI episodes were identified only by peripheral culture and 7.7% of paired organisms did not share the same susceptibility test results which emphasizes the importance of a peripheral culture in managing fever in oncology children.
FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRESSOR EFFECT OF SUBSTANTIA NIGRA AND DEPRESSOR EFFECT OF NUCLEUS ARCUATUS HYPOTHALAMI

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

In curarized, artificially ventilated rats, microinjection of sodium glutamate(Glu) into nucleus arcuatus (AR) induced both depressor and bradycardiaresponse. On the contrary, injection of apomorphine into AR or Glu into substantianigra (SN) produced pressor and tachycardia effects. The SN effect could beblocked by bilateral injection of haloperidol into AR. The above results indicatethat the pressor and tachycardia effects of SN is due to excitation of DA-receptorsin AR which leads to the inhibition of the depressor and bradycardia effects of AR.
One-pot synthesis of SnO2 nanoparticles and SnO2@rGO nanocomposite by laser pyrolysis and its application in Li-ion batteries

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Laser pyrolysis has be employed many times previously as an affordable method to synthesize small size nanoparticles. In this study, we report for the first time the use of laser pyrolysis to create SnO2 nanoparticles and SnO2@rGO nanocomposite via a one-pot synthesis method. SnO2 was used due to its high theoretical capacity coming mostly from both conversion and alloying reaction. The resulting materials were characterized via SEM, XRD, XPS and TGA, which reveals very low level of impurities and particle dimensions of mostly 15nm or less. The materials were also tested for electrochemical performance via cyclic voltammetry, galvanic charge/discharge and rate cycling at different current densities. The results portray great storage capacity of the materials, especially the nanocomposite, at both low and high current rate. For SnO2@rGO, charge capacity can reach as high as 1650 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and 1370 mAh g-1 at 2000 mA g-1. The material also showed great rate capability with capacity still remain as high as 988 mAh g-1 at extremely high current rate of 10A g-1. However, it was also noted that capacity retention during cycling is only satisfactory as capacity drop of as high as 23% has been observed after only 50 cycles of charge/discharge. The entire investigation can be deemed a success as it has demonstrated that one-pot laser pyrolysis are able to synthesize nanoparticles and metal oxide/graphene nanocomposite with decent electrochemical properties.
Compound Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Paphia undulate Meat and Development of Its Functional Oral Liquid

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Paphia undulate meat was hydrolyzed into amino acid hydrolysate using papain, pineapple protease and neutral protease. The optimum papain hydrolysis procedure determined by orthogonal array design was as follows: using enzyme amount of 6000 U/g and a solid/liquid ratio of 1:10, hydrolysis at 50 ℃ and pH 6.5 for 4 h. Under these conditions, the degree of hydrolysis was 35.84%. Then the papain hydrolysates were continuously hydrolyzed in turn by 5000 U/g of pineapple protease and 1000 U/g of neutral protease for 4 h, and the final degree of hydrolysis reached 50.36%. The final hydrolysate had plenty of free amino acids (about 923.0 mg/100 ml, without the caculation of tryptophan), among which the essential amino acid accounted for 33.0%. A functional oral liquid which has special flavor and rich nutrition for good health could be obtained by blending the compound enzymatic hydrolysate of Paphia undulate meat and other auxiliary ingredients.
Notes towards a history of Khoi literature

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article puts forward a revisionist history of Khoi literature, and also presents a number of translated Khoi narratives that have not been available in English before. Compared to the large volume of Bushman literature and scholarship, there has been very little Khoi literature and engagement with it, and an argument is presented to account for this gap in South African cultural history. Until now, the major source of Khoi literature was Wilhelm Bleek’s Reynard the Fox in South Africa (1864), and this text is critically interrogated as a limiting version of Khoi orature. An alternative corpus of Khoi narratives is presented that was originally published in Leonard Schultze’s Aus Namaland und Kalahari (1907).
Seasonal effect on seed germination of guava under Punjab conditions

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The studies were conducted on seed germination of the rainy and winter season guava fruit crops. Seeds from the rainy season fruits had more germination potential than winter season crop. Freshly extracted seeds from the rainy season crop gave maxium germination (89 - 92%) during September. The germination percentage declined with the passage of time. Seeds remain viable up to one-and-a-half years. Use of medium-sized fruits from the rainy season guava crop is recommended for the production of rootstock seedlings commercially.
Characterization of immune responses correlating with protection and the development of an efficacious treatment against Ebola virus infections

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Ebola virus (EBOV) is a zoonotic pathogen which causes a fulminant hemorrhagic fever and results in up to 90% fatality. Despite efforts over the past 38 years, a licensed prophylactic or post-exposure option remains unavailable. Several experimental vaccines have already demonstrated protection from lethal EBOV disease in nonhuman primates (NHPs). However, attempts to translate this research from bench to bedside have been hampered, since the immune responses that correlate with protection against EBOV are not well-defined. Without this information, it is not possible to reliably predict the efficacy of vaccines or treatments in humans without lethal challenge. The goal of this thesis is to determine the immune parameters that are predictive of protection against EBOV. Due to the rapid speed of EBOV pathogenesis, it was originally hypothesized that a rapid and robust CD8+ T-cell response must be crucial for survival. Using a previously-characterized adenovirus-vectored Ebola vaccine (Ad5-optGP), transgenic/knockout C57BL/6J mice with ablation for selected immune responses were vaccinated and challenged 28 days later. Surprisingly, while CD8+ T-cell knockout mice survived infection, B-cell knockout mice did not, indicating that the antibody response played a critical role in protection. Humoral and cell-mediated responses were compared between survivor and moribund guinea pigs and NHPs from previous vaccination and post-exposure therapy experiments, either with Ad5-optGP or a vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-vectored vaccine (VSVΔG/EBOVGP). Circulating EBOV glycoprotein (GP)-specific IgG antibody levels were the best correlation for protection independent of vaccine platform or timing of exposure (p<0.0001), strongly supporting the role of antibody responses in the control of EBOV infection. To demonstrate that antibodies are also responsible for protection, three previously-characterized monoclonal antibodies recognizing different GP epitopes were combined into a cocktail (ZMAb). Initiation of ZMAb treatment 1 and 2 days post infection (dpi) with EBOV protected 100% and 50% of NHPs, respectively. These results provide a reliable measure for predicting protection from EBOV in three commonly used animal models, and present a strong case for the use of antibodies as an effective post-exposure treatment. This knowledge will ultimately help in the development and validation of a clinical product against EBOV infection.
[Right bronchial intubation using a left-sided double-lumen tube in a patient with situs inversus].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 74-year-old man was scheduled for resection of a pulmonary tumor in the left upper lobe. He had asymptomatic complete situs inversus, and therefore his left lung had three lobes whereas his right lung had two. Since the tumor had been growing through the left upper bronchus into the left main bronchus, it seemed that the use of a bronchial blocker in the left bronchus should be avoided. A 37-Fr left-sided double-lumen tube was rotated in the opposite direction (clockwise) and advanced easily into the right (anatomically left) main bronchus under fiberoptic guidance. One lung ventilation during the operation was performed successfully and there was no postoperative airway complication. Several ways of achieving one lung ventilation in patients with situs inversus are discussed in this report. The use of a bronchial blocker should be considered first-choice, but sometimes its use is inappropriate as in this case. Commercially available double-lumen tubes are not intended for use in cases of situs inversus. If a double-lumen tube is desired, intentional right bronchial insertion of a left-sided double-lumen tube seems to be an easy and reliable option.
