Variability in food consumption patterns of adults in the U.S. population

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study used the 24‐hour dietary recall data of white adult respondents in the NHANES I to demonstrate variability in food consumption patterns among subgroups of this population. Both a quantitative dimension, mean intake levels and the qualitative dimensions of nutrient density and diet diversity were used. Generally males consumed more food energy and nutrients than did females, as did younger, as compared to older subjects. This pattern was less consistent for vitamins A and C than for other nutrients. Sex differences in diet diversity were small. The higher energy and nutrient consumption of males, similarity in the number of “nutritious” foods in the diet and higher nutrient density values found among females, together, support the existence of variability in food consumption.
Partial Empty Sella Turcica Syndrome: Syndrome: A Case Report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Here, we present a case of a young female who presented with secondary amenorrhoea postpartum and was diagnosed ultimately to have partial empty sella syndrome and partial Sheehan syndrome. Empty sella syndrome is a condition in which the pituitary gland which occupies the sella turcica shrinks or gets flattened. As a result, it is replaced with fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) completely and when seen on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, it looks like an empty sella. Sheehan syndrome (SS) is the clinical manifestation that results due to necrosis of pituitary gland resulting from severe postpartum haemorrhage during pregnancy and is one of the causes of gland. Partial empty sella is the term given when part of the gland is visible on imaging. Patients with SS have varying degrees of anterior pituitary hormone deficiency. It’s frequency is decreasing worldwide and it is a rare case of hypopituitarism in developed countries owing to better obstretric care. However, it is still frequent in under-developed and developing countries. A 23-year-old female, parity 1/intrauterine fetal death 1 (P1IUFD1) who had undergone previous lower segment cesarian section (LSCS) presented to our outpatient department (OPD) with complaints of secondary amenorrhea for 4 years. Also, Sheehan syndrome as a cause of the same has not been frequently observed. History of post partum haemorrhage, failure to lactate and cessation of menses are important clues to diagnosis.

He challenges the group to find terms that can take all three suffixes without modification or irregularity: Equaled Equally Equalness Steadied Steadily Steadiness 12:40 An imperfect example: The fool, easily fooled, was foolishly foolish. 14:10 A pure inflected language would preserve distinctions. 17:00 States (ness) and manner (ly) can participate to become (lyness) [Scott: my own whimsical example: Wholeness + Wholly = Wholliness] 17:30 "What Socrates is doing in the Phaedo...." This is the intelligibility. 18:30 This is the state (ness); this participates (ly); this has participated (ed).

Do you assent to this view of cause?" 46:00 Cause: ”How" a cause is gained as a cause is not Plato's focus. The condition that allows something to be before the "how" is what Plato regards as cause. 51:00 Four divided by two equaling two is not the cause of two. Twelve divided by six does not cause two. Two is two because it inherently participates in twoness. 51:40 "ness" is ousia The proper "ness" of each thing essence = "ness" = ousia 1:08:00 105a Opposites will not admit their opposites (without withdrawing or changing their nature...by ceasing to be opposites...or perishing).

Fine-tuning a method for DNA-extraction of myxomycetes

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In this paper we describe in detail the procedure for a genomic DNA extraction method from spores of myxomycetes that was inspired by the direct PCR technique. We include results of small-scale tests that were set up for the optimization of this extraction method. These tests were performed to select the grinding breads, assess the result of different estimated spore quantities, compare the extraction medium, evaluate the temperature to weaken the cell walls of amoeboflagellates, and to ascertain whether the storage method of the extract is appropriate. The results are presented as agarose gel images of either crude genomic DNA extracts or PCR products of partial SSU and are discussed in detail. From the tests the following combination was withheld: extraction solution TE pH: 8, grinding with 1 mm Zirconia/Silica beads during 60 sec at 30 Hz, cell weakening at 90°C and storage at -20°C. The specimens that were used for the tests are listed in this paper along with collection data and the GenBank accession numbers for the submitted SSU sequences. This simple approach can serve as a fast, cheap, and cleaner alternative to other extraction protocols, or it can be used as a preparation phase for such established methods.
EUROPEAN ITS PLATFORM: RETHINKING ITS

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The expectations placed on the existing European transport infrastructure are increasing due to the growing mobility needs of the population on the one hand and the rising volume of freight traffic on the other. The aim of the European ITS Platform is to increase the efficiency of the TEN-T core network through a better use of the existing infrastructure by implementing Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). It fosters interoperability and the development of uniform technical standards by monitoring and disseminating the results delivered by the five CEF ITS Road Corridor Projects. One major outcome is the drafting of the “Reference Handbook for harmonized ITS Core Service Deployment in Europe”. This digital freely available handbook comprises a series of guidance and advice for use by road authorities and operators to support them in the development of their strategic approach, design development, deployment, installation and operation of ITS and remain compliant with European legislation. Its key features include: Deployment Guidance for 14 different ITS Services, including DATEX reference profiles, Guidance on the provision and use of traffic information provided under the European Directive (2010/40/EU), C-ITS developments, Knowledge gained from the collection of 100 Best Practices etc.
Cutaneous Granulomas with Predominantly CD8+ Lymphocytic Infiltrate in a Child with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Combined immunodeficiency disorders comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by both humoral and cell-mediated immunodeficiency. Cutaneous granulomas manifestations in children with combined immunodeficiency are rare. Objective: We report the case of a 6-year-old boy who presented with disseminated cutaneous granulomas and a history of multiple infections. Methods and Results: Laboratory evaluation revealed severe combined immunodeficiency, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis confirmed mutations on a gene of chromosome 19 that encodes an enzyme called Janus kinase 3 (Jak-3). Immunohistochemistry revealed expression of CD8 + in the perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate Conclusion: Disseminated granulomatous lesions in children with a history of frequent infections should prompt the clinician to initiate detailed immunocompetence evaluation as they might prove to be the first manifestation of immunologic impairment.
Regional cooperation for energy connectivity

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

This chapter focuses on seamless and sustainable connectivity in the electric power system, and the role it can play to support sustainable development. Energy connectivity can help countries make progress towards several SDGs. Most relevant in this regard is the goal of ensuring access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services for all (Goal 7). In addition, energy connectivity can support progress towards realizing SDGs related to poverty, education, gender equality, jobs, cities and climate action (Goals 1, 4, 5, 8, 11 and 13, respectively).
Selective vs, Nonselective Media and Direct Plating vs. Enrichment Technique in Isolation of Vibrio cholerae: Recommendations for Clinical Laboratories

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

The occurrence of human cholera along the Gulf of Mexico and the isolation of Vibrio cholerae O1 from the Gulf and Chesapeake Bay make it imperative that microbiology laboratories along estuaries develop the capabilities to culture for these pathogens. In attempts to devise a simplified but efficient culture procedure, a selective medium, thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose (TCBS) agar, was compared with a nonselective medium, gelatin agar (GA), and the utility of enrichment was examined. TCBS agar detected 99% of the stools found to be positive by all techniques combined, whereas GA identified only 80%. Of acute diarrheal stools, 96% were positive on direct plating, whereas only 66% of formed stools containing V. cholerae were detected by direct plating. Stools from patients with acute diarrhea can be plated directly into TCBS agar alone; stools from persons shedding low numbers of organisms (such as contacts, carriers, or patients receiving antibiotics) should be incubated first in an enrichment broth and then on TCBS agar.
Measuring vs30 using surface wave tests

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Given that Singapore has adopted the Eurocode since 1st April 2013, there is a need to test out methods to obtain the average shear wave velocity or VS as it is one of the main parameters used in the classification of ground types. The usual parameter involving VS is the VS,30 or the average shear wave velocity of the top 30m of soil layer. This project focuses on a specific type of site test, the continuous surface wave system (CSWS) test. This is a non-invasive test method that involves a vertically oscillating mass vibrator, geophone receivers, a CPU and a vibrator control unit. Seismic waves are sent into the ground by the vibrator and the geophone receivers pick up the corresponding phase angles. The receivers are placed at different offset distances during the course of each site test to ensure homogeneity in the ground layers. The objective of the field tests is to acquire parameters that will aid in the calculation of the shear wave velocity profile, which will lead to the VS,30 value being able to be obtained. The results from six test sites in Singapore were taken and analyzed. In order to produce the shear wave velocity profile, inversion process had to be used and for this project, the weighted average velocity (WAVe) method was employed. Also, it has to be noted that for all the test sites, the depth of penetration of the seismic waves into the ground did not reach 30m. As such, the VS,30 value could not be obtained directly but instead, a correlation method had to be used to estimate the VS,30 value. It was shown that although both the VS,5 and VS,10 values could be used to estimate the VS,30, they were not very accurate as three out of the six values were out of the historical data range of their respective sites. It was seen that while the CSWS tests were not a very accurate measure to estimate the VS,30 values, it was still useful as a rough guide to obtain the ground classification type.
Higgs boson as a gluon trigger

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In the forthcoming high-luminosity phase of the LHC many of the most interesting measurements for precision QCD studies are hampered by large pile-up conditions, especially at not very high transverse momenta.However, with the recently discovered Higgs boson, which couples in the heavy top limit directly to gluons, we have access to a novel production process to probe QCD by a colour-singlet current.In this study we compare observables in Higgs boson and Drell-Yan production and investigate whether measuring ratios or subtractions can yield results that are stable in high pile-up environments, and yet sensitive to (small-p T ) QCD physics in gluon fusion processes.We present results of Monte Carlo event generator calculations for a few specific examples.
Extensins in graminaceous monocots and dicots compared

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Is the cellulose-extensin warp-weft model of primary cell wall organization generally applicable, or restricted to dicots. Although wall-bound hydroxyproline is usually a quantitative measure of extensin content, it is not definitive at low hyp levels typical of graminaceous monocots. Therefore the authors searched for putative soluble extensins ionically-bound to the cell wall of maize cell suspension cultures. Fractionation of AlCl/sub 3/ eluates on cellex-P, Cellex-E, and Superose-6 gave two HRGPs CEV and CE1 which compositionally resembled extensins rather than the arabinogalactan HRGPs. CEV and CE1 did not react with Yariv's antigen, but did cross-react with antibodies raised against tomato extensin. A tryptic peptide map of CEV gave some major peptides enriched in hydroxyproline and proline residues, indicating peptide periodicity. TEM of the low-angle shadowed protein gave flexuous rodlike molecules of 80 nm contour length. This is the best evidence to date for extensin in monocots.
Classification of surface electromyographic signals for control of upper limb virtual prosthesis using time-domain features

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The development of a training system in the field of rehabilitation has always been a challenge for scientists. Surface electromyographical signals are widely used as input signals for upper limb prosthetic devices. The great mental effort of patients fitted with myoelectric prostheses during the training stage, can be reduced by using a simulator of such device. This paper presents an architecture of a system able to assist the patient and a classification technique of surface electromyographical signals, based on neural networks. Four movements of the upper limb have been classified and a rate of recognition of 96.67% was obtained when a reduced number of features were used as inputs for a feed-forward neural network with two hidden layers.
Towards a Smart Tourism Business Ecosystem based on Industrial Heritage: research perspectives from the mining region of Rio Tinto, Spain

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The implications of the study provide suggestions for future improvements relating to the development of industrial tourism destinations. The possibility of 're-using' the old industrial and mining heritage could favour the development of an economic opportunity to the recession that affected most industrial regions after the 1960s. This paper is focused on the field of industrial heritage tourism management (IHTM) to deepen the knowledge about its business ecosystem. The IHTM is chosen because a number of evidences highlight the interconnections that exist between this field and the business ecosystem concept. To explore these interconnections, the purpose of this article is to define a frame of analysis based also on the emergent initiative of smart tourism and to set up a theoretical framework not only used to the case study of the region of Rio Tinto mine in Spain, but also used as a policy instrument to suggest propositions for recommending new paths for future studies.
Feminist Epistemology: The Foundation of Feminist Research and its Distinction from Traditional Research

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

There are many questions surrounding feminist research. The most common question is: “What makes feminist research distinctive from traditional research within the Social Sciences?” In trying to answer this question, we need to examine feminist epistemology and the intertwining nature of epistemology, methodology (theory and analysis of how research should proceed), and methods (techniques for gathering data) utilized by feminist researchers. Feminist epistemology in contrast to traditional epistemologies is the foundation on which feminist methodology is built. In turn, the research that develops from this methodology differs greatly from research that develops from traditional methodology and epistemology. Therefore, I argue that one must have a general understanding of feminist epistemology and methodology before one can understand what makes this type of research unique. Such a foundation will assist us in our exploration of the realm of feminist research, while illuminating the differences between feminist and traditional research.
Extensible executable models in the development of an ePortfolio

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The ePortfolio have become a valuable tool applied in multiple contexts such as education and employment, with many of purposes and audiences. In the educational context the ePortfolios help to guide, motivate and track training processes and facilitate communication between participating agents. The IMS ePortfolio specification intends to standardize the structure of ePortfolios to enable the exchange and interoperability between applications that use them. This article proposes the application of extensible executable models to model the domain of features or attribute-value properties, and apply it to building a student ePortfolio. The context of use of the portfolio is defined by the projects Cumbia LD and cupi2, and takes into consideration the IMS ePortfolio specification for the design.
DNP-an endothelial cell derived member of the natriuretic peptide family

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

DNP is a potent 38 amino acid peptide isolated from the Dendroaspis angusticeps which shares structural similarity with ANP, BNP and CNP as it possesses a 17 amino acid ring structure. Recently, we have reported DNP-like immunoreactivity in human plasma with elevation in congestive heart failure achieving concentrations similar to CNP, an endothelial cell-derived peptide. The goal of the current study was to determine the presence and secretion of DNP in cultured human aortic endothelial cells and its ability to activate cGMP compared to other known natriuretic peptides (NPs). The rationale for these studies was based upon preliminary studies which have detected DNP-like immunoreactivity associated with isolated blood vessels. Immunohistochemistry utilizing a specific DNP antibody revealed markedly positive endothelial cell granular staining which was localized to the perinuclear position. Staining for nonimmune control was negative. Utilizing a specific radioimmunoassay for DNP, we found that DNP was present at a concentration of 82.2 ± 1.2 pg/ml. To determine the biological actions of DNP upon endothelial cell cGMP generation, we stimulated ECs with DNP at 1nM, 10 nM, 100 nM, and 1uM for 60 minutes and compared its action to other NPs. All NPs increased cellular cGMP generation with DNP being the most potent stimulator (p<0.05). The potency of the NPs to stimulate EC cGMP production was DNP>ANP>BNP>CNP. The current studies report for the first time presence and secretion of DNP in human endothelial cells together with documented potent cGMP generating actions. We conclude that DNP may be an additional potent cGMP generating CV peptide of endothelial origin.
KIDNEY DAMAGE IN PATIENTS AFTER ALLOGENEIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The aim of the review is to present the most common renal complications after HSCT such as acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease glomerulopathies. HSCT is a critical therapy for many cancer patients with cancer, as well as patients with some other nonmalignant hematologic disorders and certain congenital immune deficiencies. Kidney complications after HSCT in a form of acute kidney injury is associated with significant morbidity and worse patient outcome. In addition, risk of chronic kidney disease is also increased following HSCT. It is very important to be aware, prevent, early recognize and treat renal damage to improve kidney and patient survival.
Relationship of survival to stage of the tumour and duration of symptoms in colorectal cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

It has been suggested that reduction of diagnostic delay in symptomatic colorectal cancer will not improve survival. Published reports show varying effects of duration of symptoms both on stage of cancer and on survival. However, tumour stage can be measured only at the end of the symptomatic period and, therefore, conclusions cannot be drawn about early diagnosis of symptomatic colorectal cancer and its effect on survival. On current evidence, early diagnosis and treatment may improve survival and should be encouraged.
