Deuterated trityl spin probe for in vivo pO2 imaging with improved precision using Time-Domain EPR

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Due to the narrow linewidth and slower signal decay, it was expected that Ox071 is suitable for wide range pO2 estimation. In this work, we present our first 3D in vivo EPR oximetry using Ox071 in comparison with Ox063. EPR imaging of MIA Paca-2 tumor and healthy kidneys were performed on successive days by using either Ox071 or Ox063, resulting in similar spin density, pO2 maps, and pO2 histograms in the tumor regions and more homogeneous pO2 profile with Ox071 in kidney compared with Ox063. The result suggested that Ox071 is applicable for oximetry in tissue at higher pO2.
Calculation of equilibria at elevated temperatures using the MINTEQ geochemical code

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Coefficients and equations for calculating mineral hydrolysis constants, solubility products and formation constants for 60 minerals and 57 aqueous species in the 13 component thermodynamic system K/sub 2/O-Na/sub 2/O-CaO-MgO-FeO-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-SiO/sub 2/-CO/sub 2/-H/sub 2/O-HF-HCl-H/sub 2/S-H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ are presented in a format suitable for inclusion in the MINTEQ computer code. The temperature functions presented for minerals are based on the MINTEQ data base at 25/degree/C and the integration of analytical heat capacity power functions. This approach ensures that the temperature functions join smoothly with the low-temperature data base. A new subroutine, DEBYE, was added to MINTEQ that is used to calculate the theoretical Debye-Hueckel parameters A and B as a function of temperature. In addition, this subroutine also calculates a universal value of the extended Debye-Hueckel parameter, b/sub i/, as a function of temperature. The coefficients and equations provide the capability to use MINTEQ to more accurately calculate water/rock equilibrium for temperatures of up to 250/degree/C, and in dilute, low-sulfate, near neutral groundwaters to 300/degree/C. 52 refs., 1 fig., 6 tabs.
A Neuromuscular Model for Symbiotic Man-Machine Exoskeleton Control Accounting for Patient Impairment Specificity

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Millions of people worldwide live with impaired locomotion. The degree of impairment is highly variable and the causes are multiple. This variation necessitates the design of a new generation of exoskeleton controllers for personalised, symbiotic man-machine interaction. One of the characteristics of such a controller is the ability to realistically include the characteristics of both normal and neurologically impaired human locomotion. The information can be used to recover only the relevant missing features of locomotion. In this paper, we describe the main characterisation tools used to describe human movement and discuss possible ways to include the resulting information in a neuromuscular model in order to create a personalised controller for a wearable exoskeleton.

identified by the international participants. The audiotapes from the workshop discussions were summarised by the organising chairs of the Symposium and the resulting document was circulated for input from all invited workshop participants. In total, 100 key questions and research needs were identified. Identified needs included: provision of different definitions depending on the use of data; explanations for differences in frequency studies; and better characterisation of genetic and environmental determinants of occupational asthma. The role of irritants and the pathogenesis of various forms of work-related asthma need further research, and there are also questions and research needs for diagnosis, prevention and understanding of persistence and airway remodelling. In conclusion, although advances have been made in the understanding of occupational asthma and other work-related asthma, further key issues remain that need addressing.
Decomposition of Carbon Dioxide by Ionizing Radiation. Part I

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The irradiation of gaseous carbon dioxide with radon or in a nuclear reactor, produces about 0.1 percent decomposition of primarily dissociated carbon dioxide, correlating with previous results in the literature. The irradiation of solid carbon dioxide with radon produces carbon monoxide and oxygen with a G value of 9 to 10. The irradiation of gaseous carbon dioxide, containing a small amount of nitrogen dioxide, by radon or in a nuclear reactor, produced carbon monoxide and oxygen, with a G value of 9 to 10. Percentages as small as 0.5 percent of nitrogen dioxide are sufficient to stop the back reaction to carbon dioxide. A new mechanism has therefore been proposed for the ineffectual decomposition of carbon dioxide by ionizing radiation, and the effective decomposition when nitrogen dioxide is present. With the proposed mechanisms, the classical experiments of Lind, the carbon monoxide oxidation and the carbon monoxide decomposition, are quantitatively explained.
Challenges in Implementing a Time-Limited Martial-Arts Curriculum in Middle-School Physical Education Classes: A Research Consultation Case

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The present program consultation and evaluation examines the use of a martial-arts (MA) program in a middle-school physical education (PE) setting. Prior work and anecdotal reports suggest that MA instruction has the potential to produce both physical and psychosocial benefits for adult and adolescent participants, but rarely has a systematic program been implemented in schools. At the impetus of an MA organization, self-report measures of emotional intelligence and behavior of seventy 7th- and 8th-grade boys and girls who participated in a structured 18-session tae kwon do program as a component of their school’s PE curriculum were compared with those of 45 students who received typical PE class instruction. Participant satisfaction with the tae kwon do program and feedback received from the MA instructors and PE teachers suggest that this sport can be successfully integrated into school-based PE classes; this represents an opportunity to provide a novel programming alternative to students that promotes exercise and continued pursuit of physical activities, nonviolence, and respect of self and others. The project content, process, and challenges in working with a client MA organization to develop the curriculum, gaining entry into a public school, and explaining limitations of the research are discussed.
Treatment of Involuntary Movements with Carbamazepine in Dystonic‐Choreoathetoid Cerebral Palsy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Choreoathetoid movements are quite common in cerebral palsy (CP). This is the first report of a patient with choreoathetoid CP who was successfully treated with carbamazepine. Therefore, clinicians should try carbamazepine for involuntary movements in CP patients before pursuing other procudures.
Effect of Vessel Tortuosity on Stress Concentration at the Distal Stent–Vessel Interface: Possible Link With New Entry Formation Through Biomechanical Simulation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract A computational approach is used to investigate potential risk factors for distal stent graft-induced new entry (dSINE) in aortic dissection (AD) patients. Patient-specific simulations were performed based on computed tomography images acquired from six AD patients (three dSINE and three non-dSINE) to analyze the correlation between anatomical characteristics and stress/strain distributions. Sensitivity analysis was carried out using idealized models to independently assess the effect of stent graft length, stent tortuosity and wedge apposition angle at the landing zone on key biomechanical variables. Mismatch of biomechanical properties between the stented and nonstented regions led to high stress at the distal stent graft–vessel interface in all patients, as well as shear strain in the neighboring region, which coincides with the location of tear formation. Stress was observed to increase with the increase of stent tortuosity (from 263 kPa at a tortuosity angle of 50 deg to 313 kPa at 30 deg). It was further amplified by stent graft landing at the inflection point of a curve. Malapposition of the stent graft led to an asymmetrical segment within the aorta, therefore changing the location and magnitude of the maximum von Mises stress substantially (up to +25.9% with a +25 deg change in the distal wedge apposition angle). In conclusion, stent tortuosity and wedge apposition angle serve as important risk predictors for dSINE formation in AD patients.
Abstract WP134: Association Between Hyperacute Blood Pressure Variability And Hematoma Expansion In Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Secondary Analysis Of The Field Administration Of Stroke Therapy - Magnesium Database

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Blood pressure variability (BPV) has emerged as a significant factor associated with clinical outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). While hematoma expansion (HE) is also associated with clinical outcomes, the relationship between BPV and HE has not been established. In this secondary database analysis, we aim to describe the association between BPV and HE. We hypothesized that BPV was positively associated with HE. Methods: Among 1,690 enrolled in the NIH-funded Field Administration of Stroke Therapy - Magnesium (FAST-MAG) study, 268 patients sustained ICH and received repeat CT or MRI head imaging within 6 to 48 hours of arrival. BPV was calculated by standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) of the hyperacute, prehospital data using the systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements taken on ED arrival, 15min-post maintenance infusion start, 1-hour post maintenance infusion start, 4-hours after ED arrival. HE was defined by hematoma volume expansion greater than 6ml. Multivariate logistic regression was used for presence of HE in quintiles of SD and CV of SBP. Results: Of the 268 patients from the FAST-MAG study who had follow up head imaging, 116 (43%) had HE. Proportions of patients with HE was not statistically significant in the higher quintiles of the SD and CV of SBP for either hyperacute or acute period. Conclusions: HE was not found to be associated with higher quintiles of BPV using SD and CV of SBP in the hyperacute or the acute period. Expanded inclusion criteria or new statistical markers for BPV incorporating temporality for SBP could help in future studies.

Re/Casting Kokoschka: Ethics and Aesthetics, Epistemology and Politics in Fin-De-Siecle Vienna

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This interpretative study of Kikiscka's Expressionist work critically examines the claims for truth often made on behalf of Kokoschka's portraits, as well as the fundamental assumptions underlying his portraiture: the interchangeability of the physical and psychological, the psychological veracity of mythical narratives, and the ability of style to convey ethical and epistemological truth. This study also draws attention to the numerous parallels between Kokoschka's Expressionism and Freudian psychoanalysis, to the ways in which style in Vienna in 1900 could convey political (especially antifeminist and anti-Semitic) meanings.
Identification of gait asymmetry using wireless gyroscopes

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Gait asymmetry can be found in individuals with pathologic gait. Gait asymmetry is commonly identified using Symmetry Index (SI). SI is determined using kinematic parameters measured by the optical motion capture system. Despite being standard instrument in gait analysis, it possesses several limitations. Hence, wireless gyroscopes are proposed in this paper to obtain the kinematic parameter i.e. angular rate of the lower extremity during walking. This parameter is utilized as the main variable in determining SI in both normal and abnormal walking. Normalized SI is also introduced to bound SI values to ±100%. Besides that, duration of the stride, stance phase, and swing phase are also considered to examine the efficacy of wireless gyroscopes and SI in identifying gait asymmetry.
Effect of the Brane-Dicke coupling parameter on weak gravitational lensing by wormholes and naked singularities

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we analyze the deflection angle of light by Brane-Dicke wormhole in the weak field limit approximation to find the effect of the Brane-Dicke coupling parameter on the weak gravitation lensing. For this purpose, we consider new geometric techniques, i.e., Gauss-Bonnet theorem and optical geometry in order to calculate the deflection angle. Furthermore, we verify our results by considering the most familiar geodesic technique. Moreover, we establish the quantum corrected metric of Brane-Dicke wormhole by replacing the classical geodesic with Bohmian trajectories, whose matter source and anisotropic pressure are influenced by Bohmian quantum effects and calculate its quantum corrected deflection angle. Then, we calculate the deflection angle by naked singularities and compare with the result of wormhole's. Such a novel lensing feature might serve as a way to detect wormholes, naked singularities and also the evidence of Brane-Dicke theory.
Equal Employment Opportunity: Pilot Projects Could Help Test Solutions to Long-standing Concerns with the EEO Complaint Process

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "Delays in processing federal equal employment opportunity (EEO) complaints, apparent or perceived lack of fairness and impartiality in complaint processing, and fear of retaliation in the workplace have been long-standing concerns of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), other federal agencies, and Congress. Based on a Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act mandate, GAO analyzed (1) factors that EEO practitioners have identified as impeding the fair, prompt, and impartial processing of federal EEO complaints and (2) actions that EEO practitioners and other stakeholders think could be taken to help address those factors. GAO also identified actions that EEOC is taking to improve the federal complaint process. GAO surveyed 65 EEO practitioners representing a wide cross section of professionals knowledgeable about the federal EEO complaint process, who were selected from 16 federal agencies that accounted for about 88 percent of complaints filed in fiscal year 2005, EEOC, and private sector attorneys' offices. GAO did not assess the validity of practitioners' views or evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives."
Evaluation and Comparison of Oral Health Status between Spanish and Immigrant Children Residing in Barcelona, Spain

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the level of oral health among Spanish and immigrant children residing in Barcelona, Spain. Oral health status was evaluated in 1400 children aged 3 to 14 years between September 2018 and June 2019. Multiple variables (dental caries lesions, exodontia, trauma, malocclusions, gingivitis, fillings, stainless steel crowns in primary dentition, and pit and fissure sealings in permanent dentition) were compared in both populations. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) were found in the prevalence of caries in the primary dentition, which was higher in the immigrant group (62.3%) than in the Spanish group (42.6%). For the permanent dentition, the prevalence of dental caries lesions was 12.2% in Spanish children and 16.4% in immigrant children, showing statistically significant differences (p = 0.026) between the two groups. The prevalence of fillings in the primary dentition was 14.6% in Spanish and 12.5% in immigrant children (p = 0.253). Regarding the permanent dentition, the number of fillings was also higher in the Spanish population (6.8%) compared to the immigrant population (3.5%), again evidencing statistically significant differences (p = 0.006). Our findings suggest a better oral health status in Spanish children than in immigrant children.

International Law as a System of Legal Pluralism

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This chapter examines how international law might be understood as a legally pluralistic system. International law is rooted in value pluralism, but that value pluralism does not translate evidently into legal pluralism. What legal pluralism there is within the international legal system is very much at its discretion and characterized by the ascendancy of states, themselves often not paragons of pluralism. That is not the end, however, of the ways in which international law and legal pluralism might be conceptualized. To say that international law is pluralistic might mean that there are distinct regimes of international law within international law, that international law is uniquely decentralized, that spaces exist between states that manifest plurality, that international law is a series of functional systems of regulation, that international law encourages domestic legal pluralism, or that international law includes a range of actors that are already shaping it plurally beyond the state. The chapter concludes with some thoughts on the desirability and challenges of ordering pluralism.

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Sustainable development in the agriculture sector can be boosted by integrating a sustainable bioeconomy and transforming renewable resources into added-value products. There are various methods to determine, measure, and compare the extent of sustainability. We promote the bioeconomy concept by utilizing agricultural waste in biopolymers considering the sustainable development in the agriculture sector. This research aims to evaluate biopolymer alternatives based on sustainability criteria and indicators using the integrated multi-criteria decision analysis approach under the sustainability umbrella. The authors evaluated the PLA, PHA/PHB, starch, protein, and cellulose-based biopolymers. As a result, the cellulose-based biopolymer shows the best performance. The research findings provide valuable information to establish a sustainable pathway for biopolymer production for industries.

The fine structure of the ependymal tanycytes at the level of the arcuate nucleus

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract The ependymal tanycytes of the third ventricle at the level of the arcuate nucleus were studied with the electron microscope. Criteria were discovered for identifying the tanycyte process as it courses through the arcuate neuropil, making it possible to describe the entire ependymal cell from the apical surface to the end foot. The apical membranes of the tanycytes are characterized by a lack of cilia and by numerous microvilli. The apical lateral membranes may be extensively interdigitated, and the junctional complexes between adjacent apical lateral membranes often lack maculae occludentes. The cells are well endowed with large Golgi apparatus. The endoplasmic reticulum is principally smooth. The tanycyte processes contain small paraxially oriented mitochondria and numerous paraxial microtubules as well as lipid droplets and accumulations of smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the form of concentric rings. Some of the tanycytes end on capillaries in the arcuate nucleus. These pericapillary ependymal sheaths contain irregular inclusions of varying densities. The ependymal tanycytes have been implicated as secretory cells involved in hypothalamic control of the anterior pituitary gland. This concept is discussed in relation to the present fine structural findings.
Computation of the electrical conductivity for rocks containing smectite

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Electromagnetic surveys such as magnetotellurics are known to be sensitive to the presence of smectite, which is abundant in subduction zones. However, the contribution of smectite to bulk conductivity is complex and still needs to be quantitatively understood better. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effect of smectite on bulk conductivity by numerical modeling using the finite element method. In our simulations, we investigated the effects of four conditions: porosity, fraction of smectite in the quartz matrix, temperature, and NaCl concentration of pore water. Here, we randomly assigned each element's conductivity tensor of either material: smectite, quartz, or pore water. In addition, we introduced an anisotropy to the conductivity tensor of smectite between the directions parallel and perpendicular to the T-O-T layer. Meanwhile, the conductivity tensors of quartz and pore fluid were considered isotropic. The simulation results showed that the spatial arrangement of the materials significantly affected the bulk conductivity for the porosity greater than 0.01. In contrast, for smaller porosity, the effect of the spatial arrangement was almost negligible, and the volume fraction of smectite, pore water salinity, and temperature controlled the bulk conductivity. These results suggest that proper parameterization of the element arrangement patterns is essential when calculating the bulk conductivity of smectite-bearing rocks.
