Acute pancreatitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Pancreastasis, a metabolic blockade to exocytosis, seems to provoke pancreatitis through a reversal in secretory polarity. Oxidative stress appears to be seminal in each phase of this evolution, such that inflammation is intrinsically oriented towards the systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Therefore a parenteral cocktail of antioxidants to include components and refurbishers of the intracellular methionine transsulfuration pathway is poised to offer first-line medical treatment to every patient with pancreatitis. Until the efficacy of this approach is proved, the provision of antioxidant supplements should logically be part and parcel of standard damage-limiting measures when multiple organ dysfunction occurs.
Combined Use of Different Antipsychotic Drugs

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

To the Editor.— This is in reference to the question of whether there are valid instances in which combined use of different antipsychotic agents is indicated, eg, chlorpromazine and haloperidol. 1 I don't believe that Kimball and Glass explained the rationale of many of the psychiatrists who combine antipsychotics and consequently have to defend this practice from reviewers whose guidelines label it an indicator of inappropriate prescribing. The guidelines are based on the statements of authorities in psychopharmacology cited by the respondents that combined use is seldom indicated 2 and has no rational basis. 3 My letter is intended to describe the rational basis for combined use and some of the indications. The indications are based on two facts. The first, mentioned by the respondents, is that many of the antipsychotics have different adverse effect profiles. The second, which they did not mention, is that the most frequent effects are
Using 2D and 3D models as tools during a workplace design process - a question of how and when

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The benefits of involving users in a development process are well described. This paper describes a procedure for using 2D and 3D models in a workplace design process, which is based on three rounds of user studies within the maritime domain. The process includes various kinds of models that can be used in order to elicit design feedback in a cost-effective manner. Design teams can greatly benefit from using such mediating objects to draw out the users’ previous experiences. It was found that different model types allow different levels of reflection and questioning of the design from the prospective users.
Searching for GEMS: TOI-5916 b & TOI-6158 b are two Saturn-density planets orbiting M2 dwarfs

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We confirm the planetary nature of (1) TOI-5916 b and (2) TOI-6158 b, two Exoplanets Transiting M-dwarf Stars (GEMS), both discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Both systems were confirmed with ground-based photometry (Red Buttes Observatory and Swope, respectively) and radial velocity data from the Habitable-zone Planet Finder. Their radii are $R_{1}=11.8^{+0.52}_{-0.51}\text{ }R_{\oplus}$ and $R_{2}=10.4^{+2.70}_{-1.11}\text{ }R_{\oplus}$ and masses are $M_{1}=219\pm28\text{ }M_{\oplus}$ and $M_{2}=135^{+19}_{-18}\text{ }M_{\oplus}$. Both planets have Saturn-like densities ($ρ_{1} = 0.73^{+0.14}_{-0.13}\,\text{g cm}^{-3}$, $ρ_{2} = 0.66^{+0.41}_{-0.23}\,\text{g cm}^{-3}$), which appears to be a growing trend among GEMS systems and, more generally, warm Jupiters. In confirming both of these exoplanets, we add to the growing evidence for a population of Saturn-density planets among the GEMS systems. We also find evidence for a preliminary trend in which GEMS exhibit systematically closer orbits compared to FGK giants.

The study group also policyholders' survey conducted and a life two surveys a agents' survey. Interviews with various 1 if e insurance companies were also conducted to gather information.
Statistical Inference for Feature Selection after Optimal Transport-based Domain Adaptation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Feature Selection (FS) under domain adaptation (DA) is a critical task in machine learning, especially when dealing with limited target data. However, existing methods lack the capability to guarantee the reliability of FS under DA. In this paper, we introduce a novel statistical method to statistically test FS reliability under DA, named SFS-DA (statistical FS-DA). The key strength of SFS-DA lies in its ability to control the false positive rate (FPR) below a pre-specified level $α$ (e.g., 0.05) while maximizing the true positive rate. Compared to the literature on statistical FS, SFS-DA presents a unique challenge in addressing the effect of DA to ensure the validity of the inference on FS results. We overcome this challenge by leveraging the Selective Inference (SI) framework. Specifically, by carefully examining the FS process under DA whose operations can be characterized by linear and quadratic inequalities, we prove that achieving FPR control in SFS-DA is indeed possible. Furthermore, we enhance the true detection rate by introducing a more strategic approach. Experiments conducted on both synthetic and real-world datasets robustly support our theoretical results, showcasing the superior performance of the proposed SFS-DA method.

Testing the damping capacity of shape memory alloys

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the study of shape memory alloys (SMAs) by many. This is because shape memory has two distinctive features and they are namely the shape memory effect and pseudoelasticity effect. The material also exhibits high damping capacity, biocompatibility and high kinetic output. An extensive study on the factors that will affect the damping capacity of the NiTi wire at different phases during the heating process, namely martensitic phase, austenitic phase and at transformation was carried out in this project. The phase transformation temperatures were measured using the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and the damping capacity of the NiTi wire was measured using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). Results from the DSC shows that there is a presence of R-phase in the as-received wire. Heat treatment was carried out to eliminate R-phase as the study of R-phase is not under the scope of this project. From the experiments, it is observed that the damping capacity of martensitic NiTi is significantly higher as compared to the austenitic NiTi. This is believed to be due to the twinning and detwinning effect of the martensitic variants. An increase in frequency at the low frequency range will result in a decrease in damping capacity while an increase in frequency at the high frequency range will lead to an increase in the damping capacity. This result was attributed to the inability of the NiTi wire to dissipate energy quickly and the resonant frequency respectively. An increase in the strain amplitude was found to result in a decrease in the damping capacity when the material is in the martensitic phase. On the other hand, when the material is in the austenitic phase, the strain amplitude does not have any significant effect on the damping capacity.

Internal fixation of pilon fractures of the distal radius.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

When closed manipulation fails to restore articular congruity in comminuted, displaced fractures of the distal radius, open reduction and internal fixation is required. Results of surgical stabilization and articular reconstruction of these injuries are reviewed in this retrospective study of 49 patients with 52 displaced, intra-articular distal radius fractures. Forty-three patients (87%) with a mean age of 37 years (range of 17 to 79 years) were available for evaluation. The mean follow-up time was 38 months (range 22-69 months). When rated according to the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (ASIF), 19 were type C2 and 21 were type C3. We devised an Injury Score System based on the initial injury radiographs to classify severely comminuted intra-articular fractures and to identify those associated with carpal injury (3 patients). Post-operative fracture alignment, articular congruity, and radial length were significantly improved following surgery (p < .01). Grip strength averaged 69% +/- 22% of the contralateral side, and the range of motion averaged 75% +/- 18% of the contralateral side post-operatively. A combined outcome rating system that included grip strength, range of motion, and pain relief averaged 76% +/- 19% of the contralateral side. There was a statistically significant decrease in the combined rating with more severe fracture patterns as defined by the ASIF system (p < .01), Malone classification (p < .03), and the Injury Score System (p < .001). The Injury Score System presented here, and in particular the number of fracture fragments, correlated most closely with outcome of all the classification systems studied. Operative treatment of these distal radius fractures with reconstruction of the articular congruity and correction of the articular surface alignment with internal fixation and/or external fixation, can significantly improve the radiographic alignment and functional outcome. Furthermore, the degree to which articular stepoff, gap between fragments, and radial shortening are improved by surgery is strongly correlated with improved outcome, even when the results are corrected for severity of initial injury, whereas correction of radial tilt or dorsal tilt did not correlate with improved outcome.
Study of Intra-Tumoral Injection of Boiling Carboplatin Solution in Treatment of Experimental Liver Cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: To develop a new method of local hyperthermal chemical injection therapy for liver cancer. Methods: Carboplatin (CBP) solution of various concentrations was heated to 60℃, 80℃, and 100℃; and the changes in its concentration (high performance liquid chromatography), PH value, and violet absorption spectrum after heating were assayed. After constructing BALB/c mouse subcutaneous transplant liver cancer model, intra tumoral injection of boiling carboplatin (BCBP) solution (group A), normothermal carboplatin solution (group B), boiling distilled water (group C) and normothermal distilled water (control group) was carried out, and tumor growth curve, tumor ablation rate, and pathohistological examination were assessed. Results: Carboplatin solution remained unchanged in its concentration, PH value and violet absorption spectrum after being heated to 60℃, 80℃, and 100℃ for 20 minutes. Intra tumoral injection of BCBP solution raised the central temperature of tumor up to 80℃ and marginal temperature up to 53℃. Following treatment, one hundred percent of tumors (16/16) in group A disappeared and none of them recurred, which were statistically significantly different from other groups (P 0.01). In group C, all tumors disappeared for some time, but 75% of them (12/16) recurred. In group B, no tumor disappeared, but tumor doubling time was significantly prolonged compared with that of control group(P 0.01). Histological examination revealed that early time after injection tumor foci in group A and C presented massive necrosis with some degenerated tumor cells at margin, with infiltration of a large quantity of lymphocytes. Twenty one days after injection, all tumor foci in group A presented complete necrosis, recurrent lesions in group C had a large number of tumor cells, and tumor foci in group B presented focal necrosis with considerable viable tumor cells. Conclusion: Carboplatin solution remained stable in boiling status. Intra tumoral injection of BCBP solution could completely devitalize liver cancer tissue via direct tumoricidal role of high temperature and strong tumoricidal role of CBP enhanced by heat effect.
Investigating the Effects of Lubricant Infusion Methods on Polymer SLIPS

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Slippery lubricant infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) are promising bioinspired surfaces with self-healing and droplet wetting properties, among many others, that are desirable due to their range of applications. Recently, there have been many developments in the SLIPS field regarding the creation of textured surfaces and lubricant selection. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the method of lubricant infusion. In this study, we aim to fill this void by investigating different infusion methods that impose external forces on the lubricant. We developed our SLIPS by hot embossing nanostructures onto polypropylene by using molds that were laser micromachined. These textured surfaces were then infused with silicone oil using three different infusion methods: ultrasonication, vacuum, and hydrostatic pressure. We analyzed the wettability and slipperiness of the SLIPS by evaluating the critical tilt angle and comparing the sliding velocities of water droplets on each sample at a tilt angle of 20°. Additionally, the durability of the SLIPS was tested by dropping 50 successive water drops onto the samples and evaluating the droplet-surface interactions throughout. The sonicated infusion method yielded SLIPS that performed the best with a contact angle hysteresis of 13°, a critical tilt angle of 18.3°, a sliding velocity of 1.66 mm/s, and the least accumulation of droplets over time with use. These values are greatly improved when compared to the control sample where lubricant was simply dripped on, which resulted in a contact angle hysteresis of 20°, a critical tilt angle of 26.3°, and a sliding velocity of 0.23 mm/s. The sonicated and drip infusion methods were also compared with different materials (stainless steel) and different textures (microstructures). It was found that the improvement in slipperiness using the sonicated infusion method is prominent for nanoscale textures on both stainless steel and polypropylene. In this study, we discuss the challenges with oil depletion in SLIPS (cloaking and wetting ridges) and with the selection of contact angle measurement methods. While further investigation as to why certain applied forces during infusion yield better SLIPS is warranted, these forces greatly affect the outcome. This work suggests that researchers should consider using sonication or other methods of lubricant infusion that apply external forces as infusion techniques to yield better SLIPS on the nanoscale.

Thin-layer chromatographic quantification of three alkaloid compounds in Sophora alopecuroides and TLC—bioautography for screening antioxidant components

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

This study aims at establishing a thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) scanning method for the determination of three alkaloids in Sophora alopecuroides and preliminary screening of antioxidant active components in S. alopecuroides with TLC—bioautography technology. The alkaloids in S. alopecuroides were identified by silica gel thin-layer chromatography; the expansion agent was toluene— acetone—methanol—ammonia—water (8:3:0.2:0.5:8), and the chromogenic agent was modified bismuth potassium iodide solution, sophoridine, matrine, and sophocarpine in S. alopecuroides by TLC scanning at 500 nm. The linear ranges were 0.4152–2.4912 μg for sophordine, 0.4245–2.5470 μg for matrine, and 0.4101– 2.4606 μg for sophocarpine, with correlation coefficients of 0.9939, 0.9956, and 0.9975. Ultraviolet (UV) method was used to determine the total scavenging activity of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhdrazyl (DPPH) free radical. The best TLC identification condition was selected, and the antioxidant activity of DPPH was screened with the color. DPPH tests indicated that IC50 of S. alopecuroides was 0.40 mg mL−1. The TLC—bioautography technology showed the alkaloids in the purple background, and a white spot was not evident. Precision, accuracy, and repeatability of the TLC scanning method were evaluated, and the results were in accordance with the requirements of methodology validation. S. alopecuroides exhibits certain antioxidant activity, but the three alkaloids do not exhibit an evident antioxidant effect, and the unknown components of S. alopecuroides show weak antioxidant effect. The specific components need further studies.
In search of image manipulation mechanisms in a public person’s speech interpretation – a case study

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper presents a qualitative analysis of a public person’s speech with its language and translation, and the way they can be manipulated to create a public image. As a public person, Lech Wałęsa has been subject to public scrutiny politically and ideologically ever since he became involved in public affairs as a trade union member and activist. Later, as a presidential candidate in the first democratic presidential election in post-communist Poland which he won in 1990, his publicity soared. Consequently, with his popularity came a heavier price of fame; he was subjected to strong criticism, and the way he spoke became a source of jokes and mocking nationwide. Public image is what others receive and read us by. It is an amalgamation of several factors – language being one of the major ones in creating one’s identity.
Smart Bi-eBikes (SBB): a low cost UGV solution for precision agriculture applications

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Crop pest management has vast economic consequences vital to agricultural, natural lands, and even public health. In this work, we contribute a new low-cost UGV (unmanned ground vehicle) solution to solve this precision agriculture problem. This UGV is made of two electric bikes (bi-eBike) that are commercially off the shelves (COTS) and driven by a ROS (robotics operational system) compatible UGV. Our bi-eBike system offers a mobile platform that can be used as a mobile sensing service with multiple sensors such as multispectral cameras, microwave scanners, etc., as well as a mobile actuation/application service with actuators such as UV-C light insecticide, beneficial bugs, growth stimulant spreaders or sprayers, etc. By mapping and imaging plants in the field, farmers can treat individual plants instead of troubleshooting the entire field, reducing both their costs and negative environmental impact. This smart bi-eBike system can be supplemented with solar panels (photovoltaic) and a UAV (unmanned aircraft vehicle) landing/charging pad. Thus, one can expect that the SBB can have a long operational duration (10 hours or more) and large coverage of acreages where UAVs are used for variability mapping for site-specific treatment. This paper describes the system level concept, subsystem designs and integration, vehicle control electronics, autonomous navigation architecture, and some preliminary experimental results.
