[Mucosa dimensions and cell proliferation in intestinal organ cultures with and without inhibition of cholesterol synthesis].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The changes in the structure and proliferative activity of rabbit ileal mucosa have been studied with morphometric and stathmokinetic techniques during 24 h organ culture. Under control conditions the villus base diameter and villus height decreased by 34 and 53%, respectively, whereas the number of villi per mm2 remained constant. The reduction of crypt depth was less pronounced than the loss in villus height, leading to a decrease in the villus height to crypt depth ratio from 3.4 to 2.3. The likely reason for this culture induced hypoplasia was a significant drop in mitotic activity as early as 2 h after starting the culture. Inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase, the key enzyme of cholesterogenesis, lead to a further reduction in mucosal dimensions and a near complete suppression of crypt cell regeneration. These data imply that despite the well-known preservation of differentiated function mucosal cell renewal during organ culture is impaired.
148 Acute Renal Infarcts from Spontaneous Intra-Renal Dissection

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Spontaneous renal artery dissection and acute renal infarcts are rare occurrences and often misdiagnosed in clinical practice. We present four male patients, between 30-50 years of age, who have no underlying cardiac conditions, hypertension, or diabetes mellitus. They presented with abdominal/loin/flank pain due to spontaneous renal artery dissection and were all treated with endovascular stenting. Two patients had renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia, confirmed by CT angiogram, a rare pathology which is reported in literature to mostly affect women. All four patients recovered fully from the operation, with no post-operative complications noted. These patients were post-operatively managed medically with anti-platelet therapy for two years and did not experience any post-procedural complications at their 24-month follow up. Classically visceral artery dissection can be managed by anti-platelet therapy alone, however fibromuscular dysplasia can cause spontaneous dissection with renal infarcts and this requires urgent treatment with endovascular stents. Further research is needed on the post-procedural medical management guidelines.
Short term outcome of primary un-cemented total hip arthroplasty in osteonecrosis of femoral head

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is characterised by cell death in the subchondral bone caused by abnormalities of blood flow to the femoral head. About 5% to 13% of arthroplasties are performed yearly for ONFH in United States. Ficat and Arlet classification is the commonest system used for grading of ONFH. Advanced stages 3 and 4 are best managed with total hip arthroplasty (THA). THA restores hip range of movement and allows early ambulation in ONFH.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> After seeking approval from local institutional ethical committee 25 patients with stage 3 and stage 4 ONFH (Ficat and Arlet) were admitted from OPD of SKIMS MC and Hospital Bemina, Srinagar. The study was conducted from February 2018 to February 2020 in department of Orthopaedics SKIMS MC and Hospital Bemina, Srinagar. 25 patients with mean age of 50.64 years comprising of 13 females and 12 males with unilateral osteonecrosis of femoral head with collapsed head underwent uncemented total hip arthroplasty and were followed up to a minimum of 1 year post-operatively.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Outcome was evaluated by comparing pre-operative and post-operative Harris hip scores.

No revisions were performed during the study. One patient developed superficial surgical site infection which healed with supervised dressings and oral antibiotics.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Uncemented THA has excellent short-term outcomes in advanced stages of ONFH. It provides mobile hip joint and pain free ambulation shortly after surgery.</p>
A New Algorithm for Mobile Robot Obstacle Avoidance Based on Hydrodynamics

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The algorithm for mobile robot obstacle avoidance based on hydrodynamics applies the continuity and smoothness of fluid motion into the motion of mobile robot. First, the basic principle of the algorithm is introduced based on the reference pattern of non-circulation circumfluence. Second, the smooth obstacle-avoidance is put into reality by combining the movement characters of mobile robot and liquid. Finally, the validity of the algorithm is got by simulation test. At the same time, the algorithm can be broadened the research field of mobile robot kinematics.
An Experimental Evaluation on Network-Listening Based Synchronization with Loop-Back Interference Avoidance

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In deploying co-channel heterogeneous networks, which use the same frequency band for both macro and small cells, it is essential to avoid mutual interference. This can be achieved by enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (eICIC), in which some of the downlink transmitted signals are muted in order to reduce the interference from a macro-cell base station to small cells or vice versa. Because interference control in eICIC is conducted in the time domain, accurate timing synchronization is required between macro and small cells. Network-listening-based synchronization is recently attracting attention as an effective timing synchronization method even for indoor small-cell base stations, which cannot utilize GPS- based synchronization. It uses only the macro-cell downlink signal to establish synchronization with the overlaying macro cell. However, the loop-back signal from the small-cell base station itself interferes with the reception of the macro-cell downlink signal. To solve this issue, we proposed a synchronization method that avoids loop-back interference and clarified its synchronization accuracy by computer simulations. In this paper, we propose an advanced synchronization- timing detection algorithm that improves the tolerance of loop-back self-interference. Furthermore, we prototype the proposed synchronization method and clarify its feasibility and performance by computer simulations and laboratory experiments on actual equipment. Moreover, we propose a control architecture for network-listening based synchronization that enables accurate synchronization even in dense small cell deployments where neighboring small-cell interference degrades the accuracy of macro-cell signal detection.
Improving Survey Methodology to Monitor Rare Grassland Birds in South Dakota

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data for grassland bird species has shown the most rapid population decline of any other bird group. Current roadside survey techniques, however, may fall short of providing accurate numbers of rare grassland bird species such as chestnut-collared longspur (Calcarius ornatus), lark bunting (Calamospiza melanocorys), Sprague’s pipit (Anthus spragueii), and Baird’s sparrow (Ammodramus bairdii). Trends resulting from roadside data for grassland birds are oftentimes determined to be statistically insignificant because many grassland bird species occur on too few routes, occur in low numbers per route, and show high annual fluctuations in number. It is possible roadside surveys may be providing inaccurate assessments of population trends. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine if increasing the number of routes will increase detection, 2) determine if detection of grassland birds is different on paved versus gravel roads, 3) determine if grassland birds are more likely to occur along routes with more grassland cover, 4) determine if there is an interaction between grassland cover and road type on the occurrence of grassland birds, 5) and to determine if the occurrence of grassland birds is greater away from roads. We utilized BBS methodology to conduct roadside surveys and paired on and off-road surveys along new and existing BBS routes over three seasons (2013-15) in western South Dakota. We used analysis of covariance to determine whether grassland birds were significantly affected by road type or percent grassland or differed between on and off-road surveys. The amount of grassland within point counts was the most significant variable effecting the abundance of grassland bird species. Higher percentages of grassland within a point count negated road effects for some species and resulted in an increase in abundance of focal bird species. Further, the inclusion of off-road point counts 800 m from roads increased abundance of two Species of Conservation Concern. Our findings suggest that increasing routes in areas with intact grassland habitat on gravel roads and incorporating off-road surveys at 800 m will allow for increased detection of focal grassland bird species which in turn can better advise conservation programs within South Dakota and beyond.
Surgical Management of Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor with Adjunctive Chemotherapy Combination

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

One male and a female 2-year-old Neapolitan Mastiff dogs weighing 41 and 40 kg, respectively, were presented to the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Jos, Nigeria, with complaints of continuous bleeding from the prepuce and vulva which were first observed about 2 months before presentation. Clinical examination revealed preputial bleeding of the male dog and serosanguinous vulva discharges with the presence of palpable masses with multiple nodules that were cauliflower-like. Cytological evaluations of smears from preputial and vaginal swabs revealed characteristic round cells with large eccentric nuclei, large nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, and intracytoplasmic vacuolations as well as anisocytosis and anisokaryosis. Based on these cytological features, a diagnosis of canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) was made in each case. Blood samples were collected for hematology and clinical chemistry. Debulking of the masses was carried out under general anesthesia using atropine sulfate and chlorpromazine as pre-anesthetics and Ketamine hydrochloride as induction and maintenance anesthetics. Following debulking, the resulting defect was reconstructed and the surgical wound was managed by daily wound cleaning and the administration of vincristine sulfate (0.025 mg/kg) slowly intravenously, ivermectin (0.3 mg/kg) subcutaneously, and piroxicam (0.3 mg/kg) and 20% amoxicillin (20 mg/kg) intramuscularly. There were no observed known vincristine sulfate-associated adverse effects as the dogs recovered and were discharged 3-week post-tumor debulking with no recurrence within 6 months of follow-up examinations. The debulked mass histologically showed several sheets of round neoplastic cells with prominent nuclei, mitotic figures, and infiltrating lymphocytes. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of CTVT was further confirmed. The hemogram showed moderate leukocytosis at day 1 in the bitch with a mild left shift at days 1 and 14 while clinical chemistry showed a marked increase in alkaline phosphatase, moderate increase in serum creatinine, and mild hypoproteinemia. In conclusion, management of CTVT with adjunctive vincristine sulfate and ivermectin combination resulted in complete healing with amelioration of known associated adverse effects.
Study on Raman Spectrum Characteristics of Amber

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

In recent years,authenticity identification and origin identification of ambers are becoming a hot topic in the academic research field.Scholars both at home and abroad make use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)to determine the amber authenticity and origin.Raman spectrum is considered to be a useful supplement of FTIR.The authors selectively collect different varieties of amber samples from three major producing areas in the world,the Baltic Sea,Dominica and Myanmar.With the help of laser Raman spectrometer,peak positions,peak shapes and relative strength characteristics of Raman spectra and their vibration patterns are described,mainly in the range of 3 200-400cm-1.Some molecular groups are analyzed such as vibration of C—H and C—O.The Raman spectra of amber samples from the same origin are compared and analyzed to find out their similar features, while the Raman spectra of amber samples from different origins are compared and analyzed to find out their discriminative features.The result clearly shows that the vibration of carbon chain frame in the molecular structure of amber is the main formation factor of Raman spectrum.The features of peaks in the Raman spectra of different varieties of ambers from the same producing area are almost the same.The golden amber,foamy amber and cloudy amber from Baltic Sea have similar Raman spectrum.The Dominican golden amber has the sameRaman spectrum with the blue amber and the Raman spectra of golden amber,blood amber and brown red amber from Myanmar are consistent.The Raman spectra of ambers from different producing areas only have slight differences in the Raman shift.Comparing with Raman spectra of ambers from the Baltic Sea,Myanmar and Dominica,Raman spectra of the Dominican ambers have some differences in the range of 1 700-1 400cm-1 and the Raman shift of Burmese amber below 1 200cm-1 has significantly fewer spectral peaks as well as less absorption intensity.The previous arguments and initial assumptions put forward that using intensity ratio ofν(C C)andδ(CH2)(N=I1 450cm-1/I1 645cm-1)could determine the natural maturity of resin.The authors confirm that the value of Ncan react the change of the relative quantity of unsaturated carbon functional groups and saturated carbon functional groups in the amber internal structure as well as detect the status of the crosslinking polymerization.However,the value of Ncould not be the only indicative evidence for origin identification,since the Burmese amber has a lower value of N,while the Nvalues of the Baltic ambers and the Dominican ambers are close.
Power Management Framework for Optical Infrastructure

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The sustainability issue of modern infrastructures is an important topic, considering the always-increasing demand of bandwidth and the new requirements coming from the introduction of innovative applications and services enabled by the recent evolution of the hardware platforms and the related control and orchestrator technologies. If the power consumption of hardware platform has been reduced over the time by technological evolution, this is not compensated by the incremental demand of features and performances. For this reason, the only chance to reduce the infrastructure footprint is to put in place optimisation strategies, to guarantee the infrastructure scalability, being able to optimise the energy associated to a certain application, keeping alive only the needed resources for its deployment. Project INTENTO, focused in the design and development of a largescale network Cloud infrastructure simulator, reserves a specific focus on sustainability issue implementing a pervasive Power Management Subsystem as VNF instance. Scope of this paper is to report on the first results of this development, describing the key technology selection, the basic architectural approach and the development strategy of this very important feature. Particular emphasis is given to the modelling aspect, taking as a reference the ETSI 203 237 standard.

A comparative study of the perception of music emotion between adults with and without visual impairment

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In music listening, limitations on visual experience affect a listener’s abstract information processing and conceptualization of the music. The aim of this study is to examine the differences in emotional responses to music between adults with visual impairment (VI) and adults with normal vision (NV). By using specific, emotion-inducing music reflecting happiness, sadness, anger, and fear, this study considers factors such as music emotion identification, emotional valence, arousal, intensity, and musical preference. A total of 120 participants (60 VI and 60 NV) listened to sixteen 15-second music excerpts and reported which emotion and to what extent they perceived it, using a self-reported music emotion evaluation scale. The results indicated that both of the groups showed high congruence in music emotion identification. However, the VI group showed significantly higher arousal, intensity and preference for sadness, while showing the lowest score for the intensity of fear. The main factor affecting emotion identification was preference for the VI group, and valence for the NV group.
Metabolic regulation during early frog development. Identification of proteins labeled by 32P-glycolytic intermediates.

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

When 32P-labeled phosphoenolpyruvate is injected into Xenopus laevis oocytes, a 50-60-kDa protein of subunit size Mr 29,000 is rapidly labeled, followed by a second (monomeric) protein of 66 kDa concomitant with the loss of label from the first protein. We have identified these proteins as, respectively, the glycolytic enzymes phosphoglyceromutase and phosphoglucomutase. The phosphoglyceromutase is labeled at a histidine and the phosphoglucomutase at a serine, presumably at their active sites during the gluconeogenic transformation of phosphoenolpyruvate into glycogen. The transfer of the 32P label from phosphoenolpyruvate to these two enzymes also occurs in in vitro lysates made from full-grown Xenopus oocytes, eggs, or early embryos, but with a slower time course. Lysates prepared from leg muscle show labeling of the phosphoglyceromutase, but not the phosphoglucomutase, when incubated with [32P]phosphoenolpyruvate. This last result is expected in tissues showing metabolic flux largely in the glycolytic direction. The data indicate that in full-grown oocytes and embryos metabolic flux occurs largely in the gluconeogenic direction.
Towards the Integration of Topology Optimization into the CAD Process

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a contribution to the automation and integration of topology optimization methods (TOM) with CAD, in the context of the design of statically loaded mechanical structures and parts.Starting from an initial CAD model with relevant engineering data, the goal is automatically generating an optimized CAD model with respect to engineering objectives and constrains.Though many optimization methods are now available, their complete and efficient integration into the design process faces several problems.After introducing the basic steps involved in the whole process and identifying the challenges inherent to this integration, this paper presents our contribution in addressing these challenges.The paper is focused on the specification of design and non-design sub-domains, on automatic mesh generation problems induced and on the adaptation of TO concepts in the context of 3D unstructured meshes.TO itself is adapted from a SIMP scheme, which is an arbitrary choice as any other optimization method could also have been used.Sets of results are presented to illustrate the potential and difficulties inherent to integrating TOM into the product design process with CAD.
