Surface characterization of powder-bed fusion 3D-printed metal parts

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Electron beam melting (EBM) is a subset of the powder-bed fusion metal additive manufacturing process. The biomedical and aerospace industries and many others use this technology to print complex functional components to meet its stringent requirements. This technology often requires post-processing techniques to achieve its final desired properties (i.e. surface finish). While earlier studies on powder-bed fusion processes focused on the microstructures, mechanical properties, and printing parameters, research on surface characteristics of on powder-bed fusion metal printed parts are limited. Despite the advantage to print complex geometries with high density and mechanical properties, relatively rough as-printed surface still poses a major issue for EBM -printed parts. This project aims to study the surface characterization (i.e. surface roughness, waviness, texture, and flaw) of EBM printed metal parts of basic geometries. Fine spherical stainless steel (SS)316L powder (25 - 63 µm) was used to print designed geometrical shapes such as a cube, pyramid, cylinder, semi-cylinder, hemisphere, cone and a truncated cone. The surfaces of each EBM-printed parts were then measured using a laser scanning 3D confocal microscope followed by image processing and filtering. Surface roughness measurement involved the use of high pass cut-off filter of λ_c=8 mm and low pass cut-off filter of λ_s = 0 mm, the parameters used for the 2D surface profile analysis were Ra, Rp, Rv, and Rz. Waviness measurement involved the use of λ_c=0 mm and low pass cut-off filter of λ_s = 0 mm, the parameters used for the same 2D profile were Wa, Wp, Wv, and Wz. Surface texture and flaw were observed by area mapping dependent on geometry surface constraints. The results and conclusions allow readers to have a better understanding of the surface characteristics of powder-bed fusion 3D-printed parts, in particular using EBM technology.

Free-radical Scavenging and Quantitative Estimation of Flavonoids from the Polar Extracts of Corchorus depressus Leaves

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Background: The investigation of total flavonoids and antioxidant activity of polar extracts of Corchorus depressus is the major aim of this study. As observed from ancient literatures and folkloric claims the plant Corchorus depressus worshipped by the married women of Odisha, India, in the rituals called as “Jama Jutia”, possesses different biological activities including antioxidant property. Methods: The diphenyl picryl hydrazine, hydroxyl radical and nitric oxide radical scavenging methods were performed for measurement of the antioxidant activity at different extracts. The flavonoid and phenolic content of the extracts were determined by using aluminium chloride and Folin-Ciocalteau’s reagent (FCR) methods respectively. Results: The results for estimation of total phenolic content (mg/ 100 g) expressed as gallic acid equivalent (GAE) and total flavonoid (mg/ 100 g) in weight of quercetin equivalent (QE) was highest in methanolic extract 78.46 and 21.2 respectively, followed by 18.18 mg/100 g in GAE and 1.80 mg/100 g in QE for aqueous extract. Conclusion: The methanolic extract of C. depressus at 100µg/ml showed highest DPPH, hydroxyl and nitric oxide radical scavenging activity and this activity may be attributed to the presence of saponins and flavonoids as detected in the extract.
[An Evaluation of Outcome of Surgical Treatment for Recurrence after Curative Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Ductal Cancer].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of surgical treatment for recurrence after curative pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal cancer. Ten cases were enrolled, and the time from initial pancreatectomy to recurrence, location of recurrence, and outcome after surgical treatment for recurrence was evaluated. The time to recurrence was more than 1 year in 4 cases, and the locations of recurrence in these cases were the remnant pancreas and lung in 3 and 1 patients, respectively. Among these 4 cases, a second recurrence was observed in only 1 case, and survival after surgical treatment of the first recurrent site was more than 3 years in the other 3 cases. For the remaining 6 cases, the time to recurrence was less than 1 year and the recurrences were located in the abdomen but not in the remnant pancreas. A second recurrence was observed in all cases, and the survival time was less than 2 years in 4 out of 6 cases. Based on the results of this study, recurrence in the remnant pancreas and lung after curative resection for pancreatic ductal cancer could be a potential indication for surgical treatment.
Experimental Studies of the Process of Obtaining Biogas from Wastes from Agricultural Enterprises

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

At present, alternative energy systems are widely used in many countries of the world. One of the promising areas of alternative energy is the production of biogas from the organic waste of agricultural enterprises. To study the biogas production process, an experimental setup with a bioreactor of 5 liters was developed. A series of full-scale experiments on the effect of the composition of the initial substrate on the qualitative and quantitative composition of biogas was carried out. As the substrate used: corn silage, poultry manure, pig manure and manure of cattle. Dependences of the volume of biogas and methane content on the type of substrate being processed and the temperature of the process are obtained. It has been established that the greatest amount of biogas is released during fermentation of corn silage and avian manure, and the smallest of pig manure drains. The greatest content of methane is observed when processing bird droppings - 64%, and the smallest of corn silage - 50%.
A Meta-Model Architecture for Fusing Battlefield Information

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract : The principal contributions of this study are four-fold. First, we propose and illustrate a unifying meta-model architecture for fusing information in sensor-based decision support systems capable of delivering to the user strong inference results in support of tactical decision-making. Second, we demonstrate the feasibility of a completely automated system performing simulation. Third, we show that this architecture can readily accommodate several major network inference methods that are designed to handle battlespace uncertainty. And lastly, we discuss how this approach can be sued to directly assess the information advantage of US Forces relative to opposing force intelligence gathering capabilities and the implications of doing so on developing strategic deception operations.
PD15-06 IMMEDIATE SHOCKWAVE-LITHOTRIPSY VERSUS DELAYED SECONDARY SHOCKWAVE-LITHOTRIPSY AFTER EMERGENCY URETERAL STENTING IN PATIENTS WITH URETERAL OR PYELOURETERAL UROLITHIASIS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The most common cause of acute colic flank pain is a ureteral obstruction caused by ureterolithiasis. Emergency intervention is often necessary due to intractable pain. Options include insertion of a ureteral stent or emergency shockwave lithotripsy(SWL). Definitive guidelines are lacking whether the one or the other option should be preferred in absence of signs of infection. We assessed efficacy and safety of immediate SWL (eSWL) without previous ureteral stenting compared to secondary ESWL after emergency ureteral stenting (sSWL). METHODS: A total of 104 eligible patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were treated between 01/2015 and 11/2017 due to an obstructive ureterolithiasis. Patients were matched regarding stone size and stone localization and assigned to group eSWL (n= 52) or group sSWL (n= 52). Within 48 hours the eSWL group was treated by shock waves, the sSWL group by stenting and 23 ± 14.6 days later by secondary SWL. We evaluated the stone-free rate 6 weeks after SWL, complication- and reintervention rates. Subgroup analysis was carried out for stone size and stone location. RESULTS: Overall there was no significant difference in complication- and stone-free-rate in both groups. Re-intervention rate was significantly higher in group sSWL (54% versus 33%, p= 0.0456). For stones sized 6-9 mm, stone-free-rate was significantly higher in group eSWL (72% versus 45%; p= 0.04). No significant differences were observed regarding re-intervention- and complication-rate in the subgroup analysis. CONCLUSIONS: eSWL seems to be an effective and safe emergency procedure when compared to sSWL and should be considered as a treatment option in patients without absolute indications for an immediate ureteral drainage.

Eponymic Terms as Fragments of Terminological Systems of Medicine Sublanguage

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The aim of the study is to identify the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of eponymic nominations in the sublanguage of medicine. The article deals with the problems of terminology standardization since this phenomenon significantly expands the definition of a special notion and makes it possible to identify the main trends in the process of such term formation. It has been noted that a number of researchers focus on the general cultural and educational significance of such units of scientific discourse. The scientific novelty is due to the fact that for the first time positive and negative characteristics of eponyms of the sublanguage of medicine, their quantitative distribution in twelve terminological systems are obtained and described in terminological practice; formal structures and morphological-syntactic models are indicated. As a result of the study, it has been found that the eponymic nominations of the sublanguage of medicine are dominated by negative characteristics, and therefore it is necessary for the scientific community to develop a unified approach to replacing such terms, to create strict rules governing the assignment of eponymic nominations to scientific notions.
Initiative leads to 11% drop in HF readmissions.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

A multi-pronged readmission reduction program at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center resulted in a 46% drop in readmissions for heart failure patients over a three-year period. The program is led by two heart failure coordinators who spend 15 to 20 minutes with at-risk patients every day during their hospital stay and follow up by telephone after discharge. A multidisciplinary team revised the educational materials to make them easy to understand and had them reviewed by cardiologists and the program's Patient Advisory Council. The heart failure team collaborates with post-acute providers and outpatient treatment centers to develop ways to improve transitions between levels of care and ensure that patients receive the same education on managing their conditions regardless of where they are receiving care.

A Region-Based Collaborative Management Scheme for Dynamic Clustering in Green VANET

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Green Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a newly-emerged research area that focuses on reducing harmful impacts of vehicular communication equipment on the natural environment. Recent studies have shown that grouping vehicles into clusters for green communications in VANETs can significantly improve networking efficiency and reduce infrastructure costs. As a dynamic network system, maintaining the network connectivity and reducing the communication overlap are two critical challenges for green VANET clustering. However, most existing work studies connectivity and overlap separately, lacking a deep understanding of the relationship between them. To address this issue, we present a comprehensive analysis that jointly considers the two critical factors in one model. Specifically, we first design a state resemblance prediction (SRP) model based on the historical trajectory feature relevance between vehicles; Combined with the SRP model, we propose the region-based collaborative management scheme (RCMS) to establish the dynamic clustering; Lastly, we take extensive experiments to verify the region-based collaborative management scheme for dynamic clustering. The results demonstrate that the proposed clustering algorithm can achieve high networking efficiency and better communication stability.
Effects of periodic weight support on medial gastrocnemius fibers of suspended rat

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Based on the current view that muscle fiber types reflect, at least to some degree, the probability of excitation of motor units in most normal movements, it was hypothesized that brief moderate periods of weight support would have little effect on a muscle that consists predominantly of high-threshold motor units. To test this hypothesis, the effects of 7 days of hindlimb suspension (HS) and HS plus intermittent weight support activity on the size and metabolic properties of individual fibers in the medial gastrocnemius (MG) were studied. HS resulted in a 40% decrease in the mean cross-sectional area of fibers that stain either dark or light for myosin adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) at an alkaline preincubation and are located in the deep region (i.e., close to the bone) of the MG. Dark ATPase fibers located in the superficial region were 17% smaller than controls (P greater than 0.05). Although the mean succinate and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activities (optical density/min) per muscle fiber were not significantly (P greater than 0.05) affected by HS, it appeared that selected fibers of the deep MG region of HS rats had elevated enzyme activities. HS plus walking on a treadmill for 10 min every 6 h at 5 m/min and at a 19 degrees incline (total of 40 min/day) resulted in mean fiber cross-sectional area and enzyme activities nearer to control than the HS values. All adaptations were much less obvious in the fibers in a superficial (i.e., away from the bone) MG region.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

This research uses a qualititave descriptive method with a case study approach. Data collection uses interview methods, observation, physical examination, supporting examinations, medical records, KIA books and other literature. Conclusions in the research can be concluded that health research can broaden the knowledge of pregnant women and can also understand the importance of the dangers of breech presentation delivery.
Satellite Broadcasting?

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Now that the first demonstrations of satellite-relayed transoceanic television may occur within two years, what is the probable future of satellite broadcasting? This study examines problems of broadcasting via satellites directly to home television receivers, compared with those of relaying to earth-terminals and rebroadcasting locally. The former eventually may be possible, but would require high-power, highly engineered satellites and would involve other problems, which are discussed here. Direct FM audio broadcasting may be less difficult but also less spectacular and rewarding.

Efficacy of a Waist-Mounted Sensor in Predicting Prospective Falls Among Older People Residing in Community Dwellings: A Prospective Cohort Study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Falls pose a significant health risk for older people, necessitating accurate predictive tools for fall prevention. This study evaluated the sensitivity of a wearable waist-belt sensor, the Booguu Aspire system, in predicting prospective fall incidents among 37 community-dwelling older people in Hong Kong. A prospective cohort design was employed, involving two analytical groups: the overall cohort and a subset with cognitive performance data available, measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Participants were categorized into moderate- or high-risk groups for falls using the sensor and further assessed with physical function tests, including the Single Leg Stand Test (SLST), 6 Meter Walk Test (6MWT), and Five Times Sit to Stand Test (5STS). Fall incidents were monitored for 12 months through quarterly follow-up phone calls. Statistical analyses showed no significant differences in physical performance between high- and moderate-risk groups and no significant correlations between sensor-based fall risk ratings and physical function test outcomes. The SLST, 6MWT, 5STS, and MoCA tests classified sensor-determined fall risk ratings with accuracies of 51.4%, 64.9%, 59.5%, and 50%. The sensor showed low sensitivity, with 13.51% true positives for fallers and a 20% sensitivity for high-risk individuals. ROC analysis yielded an Area Under the Curve of 0.688. Our findings indicate that the wearable waist-belt Sensor System may not be a sensitive tool in predicting prospective fall incidents. The algorithm for fall risk classification in the wearable sensor merits further exploration.
