The Seventh Cell of a Six-Cell Battery

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract—Increasing the capacity of existing battery technologies could play an important role in today’s mobile society. To improve the reliability and efficiency of modern portable power sources, it is critical to not only manage the hardware and software relying on the power, but also the discharging of the battery cells. In this work, we propose an alternate method, called autonomous battery clusters (ABC), of building batteries and new ways to manage the discharging of the individual power cell. Our three discharge management policies attempt to maximize the energy utilization of any devices that could be powered by Lithium Ion batteries. Experimental results showed an increment of up to 16.2 % of the power delivered by battery cells in a heavily loaded situation, which would amount to a much longer running time of any device requiring mobile electric power source.
Dexamethasone Suppression Test and Subtypes of Depression

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To the Editor.— In reference to the Schlesser et al article, Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Activity in Depressive Illness: Its Relationship to Classification (Archives1980;37:737-743), the conclusions drawn by the authors do not appear to be valid based on the methodology used in their study. Carroll et al 1 have shown that most patients with endogenomorphic depression did not show escape from dexamethasone suppression of cortisol until late afternoon (4Pm) or evening (12Am) on the day following dexamethasone administration. This point was also brought up by Brown and Shuey in their article, Response to Dexamethasone and Subtype of Depression, which appeared in the same issue of theArchives(1980;37:747-751). The methodology used by Schlesser et al (ie, measuring only the 8Amcortisol levels after dexamethasone administration) could have missed a substantial proportion of patients with familial pure depressive disease (FPDD), sporadic depressive disease (SDD), or depressive spectrum disease (DSD),
Single-molecule Fluorescence Spectroscopy of TOTO on Poly-AT and Poly-GC DNA

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Excited state lifetime and amplitude measurements were made on thiazole orange dimer (TOTO), a dimeric DNA-intercalating fluorophore, at single-molecule concentrations. As expected from previous study, the excited state lifetime of TOTO intercalated in DNA is dependent on the sequence of the double-stranded DNA, having values of 2.2 ns in poly-GC DNA and 1.8 ns in poly-AT DNA. The distribution of excited state lifetimes of single molecules of TOTO intercalated into oligonucleotides having varying proportions of poly-GC sequences relative to poly-AT sequences were analyzed as a function of the fraction of poly-GC. By using excited state lifetime distributions from the purely GC and purely AT oligonucleotides as a basis set, it was possible to estimate the GC content of oligonucleotides with intermediate GC composition to within a few percent error. This serves as a model for the analysis of equilibrium binding distributions in DNA using single-molecule methods.
Comparison Of Quantitative Techniques Including Xpert MTB/RIF To Evaluate Mycobacterial Burden

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Introduction: Accurate quantification of mycobacterial load is important for the evaluation of patient infectiousness, disease severity and monitoring treatment response in human and in-vitro laboratory models of disease.We hypothesized that newer techniques would perform as well as solid media culture to quantify mycobacterial burden in laboratory specimens. Methods:We compared the turn-around-time, detection-threshold, dynamic range, reproducibility, relative discriminative ability, of 4 mycobacterial load determination techniques: automated liquid culture (BACTEC-MGIT-960), [ 3 H]-uracil incorporation assays, luciferase-reporter construct bioluminescence, and quantitative PCR(Xpert -MTB/RIF) using serial dilutions of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV.Mycobacterial colony-forming-units(CFU) using 7H10-Middlebrook solid media served as the reference standard.Results: All 4 assays correlated well with the reference standard, however, bioluminescence and uracil assays had a detection threshold $1610 3 organisms.By contrast, BACTEC-MGIT-960 liquid culture, although only providing results in days, was user-friendly, had the lowest detection threshold (,10 organisms), the greatest discriminative ability (1 vs. 10 organisms; p = 0.02), and the best reproducibility (coefficient of variance of 2% vs. 38% compared to uracil incorporation; p = 0.02).Xpert-MTB/RIF correlated well with mycobacterial load, had a rapid turn-around-time (,2 hours), was user friendly, but had a detection limit of ,100 organisms.Conclusions: Choosing a technique to quantify mycobacterial burden for laboratory or clinical research depends on availability of resources and the question being addressed.Automated liquid culture has good discriminative ability and low detection threshold but results are only obtained in days.Xpert MTB/RIF provides rapid quantification of mycobacterial burden, but has a poorer discrimination and detection threshold.
Recycled Waste Glass [WG] in Concrete

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this study, WG was used as partial substitution of basalt (coarse aggregate), with 0%,5%,10%,15% ,20%, 25%,30%,35%,40%,45% and 50% ratios by weight of basalt. Some mechanical and other concrete properties have been investigated at both hardened and fresh stages. The investigational results that were taken from the tested specimens illustrated that with WG using as a coarse aggregate occurred a loss in a slump, density, and water absorption. It also resulted in the enhancement of the strengths of concrete [compression and tension] until a 25% ratio of substitution by weight. Test results registered that with WG content increase, the strengths gradually increase up to a given limit, and then beyond which they gradually decrease. The maximum influence reached a 25% substitution ratio. At this percentage, the strengths [tension and compression] increasing were approximately 15 % and 14 % with relating to control concrete [0% WG] respectively.

Optimization of the crash behaviour of the magnetic-levitation train Transrapid

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Analyzing crash and impact situations of high-speed trains requires numerical simulation tools. The paper describes the use of Finite-Element methods to simulate possible crash situations of the magnetic-levitation train Transrapid TR07. Experimental testing at lower velocities provides the FE-model with input parameters and approves the numerical method for studying collisions under safety considerations. The simulation of high-speed impacts makes the damage to the system visible and allows an assessment of the effects on passengers. By means of numerical simulation it was also possible to improve system components in order to obtain an optimal crash behaviour of the overall system. (orig.)
Variability of Travel Time, Users’ Uncertainty, and Trip Information

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Travel time saving plays an important role in the socioeconomic studies of the profitability of transport projects. This paper presents some parts of the studies performed in collaboration with SETRA, a department of the French Ministry of Transport, on the economic evaluation of operating roads. The paper includes four main parts. The first includes a description of how travelers’ decisions are influenced by the variability of travel time. The statistical analysis of the recorded travel time on a motorway in île-de-France, France, is developed to quantify the variability of travel time and to measure its magnitude. The second section is devoted to developing the methodological framework to capture the safety margin considered by travelers in their trip-making behaviors. A model is formulated to reflect the behavior of the traveler before making a trip. This model highlights the effect of each travel component, the mean of the travel time, the level of variability, and the safety margin chosen by the traveler before traveling. The third section extracts the optimal safety margin that minimizes the cost of the total time allocated to travel. The last section of the paper is devoted to some algebraic manipulation to characterize the features of the output if the variability of travel time in the economic evaluation of transport projects is incorporated. An expression is also given for the gain that operators bring when they reduce the variability of travel time or reduce the uncertainty that travelers feel by providing them with information.
Conical diffraction mounting generalization of a rigorous differential method

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A generalization of the method of J. Chandezon et al. (1982) is presented for conical diffraction mounting. The applicability of the invariance theorem for real metal and dielectric gratings is discussed and the existence of some polarization effects is demonstrated. A formulation of the reciprocity theorem in conical diffraction mounting is proposed, valid not only for the efficiencies of the diffracted orders but for the amplitudes, too.
Relationship between Platelet Aggregation and the Condition of GPIIb-IIIa Complex in Unstimulated Platelets

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We used a monoclonal antibody against GP IIb-IIIa complex (NNKY1-32) to study the relationship between platelet aggregation and the condition of GP II b- IIIa complex in unstimulated platelets. The quantities of GP II b- IIIa complex in Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (Type I, Type II), Heterozygote, EDTA-treated and cation-treated platelets were classified into three groups according to the binding of anti-GP IIb-IIIa complex antibody. Despite the similarity in binding of monoclonal anti-GP IIb-IIIa complex antibody within each groups, however, differences were found in platelet aggregability between samples. Ca2+ and Mg2+ promoted the reassociation of dissociated GP IIb and GP IIIa in intact cells, and restored aggregabilities of platelets. In particular, mixed materials (Ca2+ Mg2+ + auto-plasma) significantly restored ADP-induced aggregabilities of platelets. These results suggest the following. The conformational change of GP IIb / IIIa after platelet activation also depends on the conditions of complex formation by GP IIb and GP IIIa and the microenvironment around GP IIb / IIIa in resting platelets. Compl ex formation alone is insufficient for ADP-induced aggregation, and the presence of Ca2+, Mg2+and some factors in plsma appears to be necessary condition.

Predictors of Pain Associated With Hysterosalpingography (HSG): A Prospective Cohort

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Predictive factors of pain were evaluated prospectively in a cohort of 157 women undergoing hysterosalpingography (HSG). 94% of women experienced pain associated with the procedure. A history of dysmenorrhea or tubal obstruction at time of procedure was a significant predictor of increased pain associated with HSG. Pre-procedure treatment with Non-Steroidal AntiInflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) was not associated with changes in pain scores. Objective: To identify predictive factors of pain associated with Hysterosalpingography (HSG). Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Academic medical center. Patients: 157 consecutive women undergoing HSG as part of infertility evaluation. Interventions: Completion of standardized pre- and post-procedure questionnaires, including Post-Procedure Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Present Pain Intensity (PPI) and Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) Main Outcome Measures: Prevalence and nature of HSG-associated pain, VAS, PPI and SF-MPQ results, predictors of HSG-associated pain. Results: Of the 157 women undergoing HSG, 94% of patients experienced pain during the procedure. Not surprisingly, the most common description of the nature of pain was “cramping” (86.5%). The severity of reported preprocedure dysmenorrhea was statistically significantly associated with the occurrence of HSG-associated pain (r=0.315, p<0.01). Additionally, women with tubal obstruction experienced a significant increase in HSG-associated pain (p=0.011). Patients using pre-procedure non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, 85.4% of women) experienced no significant decreases in VAS pain scores (73.7 versus 82.0, p=0.40). Conclusion: The majority of women experience pain during HSG. A history of dysmenorrhea and a finding of tubal obstruction were statistically significant predictors of HSG-associated pain.Pre-procedure treatment with NSAIDs reduced pain scores, however this was not statistically significant.
Anticoccidial Activity of Narasin in Broiler Chickens Reared in Floor Pens

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

The anticoccidial activity of the ionophore narasin was tested in 3 floor-pen experiments. Narasin was tested at levels of 40, 60, 80, 100, or 120 ppm and compared against feeding ration containing 80, 100, or 121 ppm monensin or no medication. Feeding at all levels of narasin significantly prevented coccidiosis-induced mortality and improved weight gains and feed conversion ratios compared with the same parameters in groups given unmedicated feed. Protection with narasin was equal to or slightly greater than the protection obtained with monensin. The reduction in intestinal lesion scores was greater with narasin medication than with monensin. Analysis of pooled data from these trials indicated that a level between 48 and 96 ppm narasin would provide the optimum, depending on whether maximum weight gain or optimum feed conversion ratio was desired. Testing for coccidial immunity using the immunity challenge technique indicated that, based on the parameters of weight gain and lesion scores, even levels as low as 40 ppm narasin had enough efficacy to significantly reduce the amount of immunity which developed in medicated birds compared with the level of immunity developed in birds receiving unmedicated feed.
Research progress on transanal endoscopic surgery for rectal tumors

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In the context of preoperative staging evaluation and neoadjuvant therapy, transanal endoscopic surgery for rectal tumors aims to reduce surgical trauma and preserve good anal function for patients. Transanal endoscopic surgery includes various procedures. With the continuous development of technology and equipment, transanal endoscopic surgery has evolved from traditional transanal local excision to the currently more commonly used transanal endoscopic microsurgery, transanal minimally invasive surgery, and transanal total mesorectal excision. However, transanal endoscopic surgery is still in the emerging stage of development, and there is no consensus on the selection and evaluation of procedures. Therefore, summarizing the characteristics of various transanal endoscopic surgical methods is of great significance for the rational selection of surgical methods for rectal tumors.
Characterization of long period polytypoid structures in the Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-AIN system

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Long period polytypoid structures observed along the pseudobinary Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-A1N composition join at a composition of 95 mol% A1N have been investigated by convergent beam electron diffraction and lattice imaging. Two new long period structures, 32H (Ramsdell notation) and 16H with c-periodicities of 8.3 nm and 4.07 nm respectively, have been independently identified by these two techniques. However, the 32H polytypoid was sometimes found to be intergrown with faulted 27R long period structure of periodicity 7.2 nm. Further, it has been shown that the 32H polytypoid is stabilized by local compositional fluctations during the sintering process.
THE EFFECT OF TREHALOSE, CAFFEINE AND GLUTATHIONE ON BOVINE SPERMATOZOA: 1. MOTILITY IN VITRO

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Results of this study show that trehalose, caffeine and glutathione supplementations have stimulating effects on spermatozoa motility
parameters. Stimulating effects of trehalose were lasting over a longer time period, with recommendation of trehalose supplementation for a long-time spermatozoa cultivation. Caffeine and glutathione have the most markedly stimulating effects especially over the first 24 hours of cultivation, and they could be used as additives for a short-term in vitro spermatozoa preservation.
Proteomic Analysis\nof <i>Plasmodium</i> Merosomes:\nThe Link between Liver and Blood Stages in Malaria

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

The\npre-erythrocytic liver stage of the malaria parasite, comprising\nsporozoites and the liver stages into which they develop, remains\none of the least understood parts of the lifecycle, in part owing\nto the low numbers of parasites. Nonetheless, it is recognized as\nan important target for antimalarial drugs and vaccines. Here we provide\nthe first proteomic analysis of merosomes, which define the final\nphase of the liver stage and are responsible for initiating the blood\nstage of infection. We identify a total of 1879 parasite proteins,\nand a core set of 1188 proteins quantitatively detected in every biological\nreplicate, providing an extensive picture of the protein repertoire\nof this stage. This unique data set will allow us to explore key questions\nabout the biology of merosomes and hepatic merozoites.
GENDER RESPONSES TO STRESS OUTCOMES

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Gender differences have been highlighted by the researchers in discussing the stress outcomes. Stress studies consistently show that females report significantly higher levels of psychological and physical stress than their male counterparts. The literature has shown that rarely have there been any studies conducted which are able to look at the gender responses to stress outcomes among supporting staff. The main objective of this paper is to compare the stress outcomes experienced by male and female employees who are working as supporting staff. The population of this study is 1, 056, 410.6 million support staff and 1, 668 were selected as the sample. The data for this research were obtained by administrating a Likert-scaled Malay language questionnaire. From the analysis, majority of them were female and have worked with the organizations for 3 – 5 years. T-test analysis was conducted and confirms that there is no significant difference in the stress outcomes experienced by male and female employees. It is argued that the nature of work as a supporting staff doesn’t shows any gender differences in psychological responses to a stressor
Natural enemies and environmental factors affecting the population dynamics of the gypsy moth

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract The population densities of the gypsy moth ( L ymantria dispar ; Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) may reach outbreak levels that pose considerable economic and environmental impacts to forests in E urope, A sia, A frica and N orth America. Compared with the situation in its native European range feeding damage by gypsy moth is often found to be more severe in N orth America and other parts of the world. Thus, the release from natural enemies can be interpreted as an important cause for high feeding damages. Natural enemies, especially parasitoids, can cause delayed density‐dependent mortality, which may be responsible for population cycles. In N orth America where only few parasitoids have been introduced and the parasitism rates are considerably lower than in Europe, generalist predators play a larger role than in E urope. Many other factors seem to influence the population dynamics of the gypsy moth such as the host plants and weather. Nevertheless, much of the variability in population densities of the gypsy moth may be attributed to interacting effects of weather conditions and attack by natural enemies. In spite of the considerable number of studies on the ecology and population dynamics of the gypsy moth and the impact of their natural enemies, more quantitative information is required to predict the population dynamics of this pest species and to control its economic and ecologic impact.
