Synthesis and incorporation of ZnO/TiO2 in PMMA to study its thermal properties

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The creation of films formed by the incorporation of ZnO or TiO2 in poly(methylmethacrylate) PMMA matrices was proposed in order to improve their properties as resistance to high temperatures. ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel method, which does not require the use of surfactants and is easily scalable. In the present work, zinc oxide (ZnO) or titanium oxide (TiO2) incorporations were carried out in a polymeric matrix of Poly(methylmethacrylate) PMMA. Both oxides were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy. PMMA was obtained by the suspension free radical polymerization method and PMMA composites containing ZnO or TiO2 were obtained. Polymer characterization was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The composites were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and its thermal resistance was found to be the best incorporation of TiO2 in 1%.
Theoretical Investigation\nof Actinide Ligation in\nAqueous and Organic Phase for Nuclear Waste Treatment

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The generation of radioactive waste has a prominent negative\nimpact\non the use of nuclear energy due to potential health concerns and\ncost of waste storage. This potential impact continues to rise as\nthe quantity of waste increases due to the increasing growth in energy\ndemand. One of the leading contributions to the radioactivity of this\nwaste is due to the presence of actinides. The removal of these actinides\nby ligand-based solvent extraction methodologies provides an invaluable\nprocess necessary for the promotion of nuclear energy. By evaluating\ndifferent ligands that are currently applied for actinide solvent\nextractions, more effective ligands could be proposed and synthesized\nfor the successful separation of actinides from nuclear waste. Here,\ndensity functional theory (DFT) calculations for a variety of ligands\nand actinides are reported to explain the extraction process. Different\nsolvation and ligation effects were evaluated for the computation\nof stability constants. The ratio of water and nitrate ligands in\nthe coordination environment of actinides (Ac(III), Th(IV), Am(III),\nand Cm(III)) was first examined. Results from this step provided reliable\ninitial conditions for the extraction of these actinides in both the\naqueous (343HOPO) and the organic phase (BTBP). We also report a DFT\nbenchmarking study as well as a modified BTBP ligand performance evaluation.
99mTc red blood cells for detection of gastrointestinal bleeding: experience with 80 patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Imaging was done in 80 patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhage using red blood cells labeled with 99mTc by a modified in vivo technique. Bleeding was detected in 65% of 40 patients with bright red blood per rectum, 71% of 35 patients with melena, and in none of the five patients with occult bleeding and chronic anemia. No clinical evidence of further gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in 26 of the 29 patients who were negative on imaging. The imaging study could be carried out for over 24 hr which increased the sensitivity of the test, since only 16% of the studies were abnormal on the initial images. Neither the need for blood replacement nor the presence of bright red blood per rectum correlated strongly with early image positivity, supporting the contention that patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhage do not necessarily bleed continuously. Labeled red cell imaging was more sensitive in the detection of bleeding than angiography. It corresponded to the overall angiographic findings in 23 of 31 cases and in 17 of the 18 patients who had demonstrable extravasation. 99mTc red blood cells may be used effectively in patients with melena as well as with bright red blood per rectum, and thus would seem to be the preferred radiopharmaceutical for imaging.

Wear resistance and friction-surface characteristics of gas-thermal coatings with ultra-disperse additives

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The friction-surface characteristics and wear resistance of gas-thermal coatings with ultradisperse modifiers are studied. The concentration ranges of ultradisperse additives of CoAl2O4 and CuAl2O4 spinels forming the structure of the wear-resistant coating are determined. The wear resistance of gas-thermal coatings is shown to increase 1.3–1.5 times with the use of ultradisperse modifying additives.
The Downside of Financial Aid: An Analysis of Student Loan Default at a Midwest Public University

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The goal of this study is to compare the likelihood of student loan default by students from a Midwest public university amongst a variety of variables. A dataset was acquired from an institution in the Midwest. A logistic regression was run to determine the predictive value of several identifiers on student loan default amongst several race groups. The findings of this study reveal that grade point average (GPA), age, total scholarships and grants received, and transfer status impact likelihood of student loan default. The results of this study challenge higher education institutions to analyze their student loan default and identify populations who need additional attention and support to ensure they are not making a negative financial decision. Through the lens of social contract theory, human capital theory, monetary theory and critique, and a critical lens of neoliberalism, student loan default is analyzed for a Midwest public institution, with recommendations on how to move forward with the findings.
Renal Tubular Damage Evaluation through Enzyme Change Monitoring after Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To evaluate a possible onset of “biological effects” following ESWL lithotripsy, the Authors measured urinary excretion levels of two enzymes, NAG and GGT. In fact, a rise in the levels of these enzymes is regarded as an early and sensitive sign of renal injury. Fourteen patients with no complicated renal lithiasis were selected; the enzymatic levels before and after a single treatment with Lithostar Plus, a lithotriptor supplied with an electromagnetic impact wave generator, were measured. The results show that a single treatment doesn't produce any significant variation in their excretion. These results were discussed and their significance analysed. Probably, they could be explained by the lower pressure produced in the focal area by the impact wave, due to an electromagnetic generator.
Reduction in drug-induced DNA double-strand breaks associated with β1 integrin–mediated adhesion correlates with drug resistance in U937 cells

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

Abstract We previously showed that adhesion of myeloma cells to fibronectin (FN) by means of β1 integrins causes resistance to certain cytotoxic drugs. The study described here found that adhesion of U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cells to FN provides a survival advantage with respect to damage induced by the topoisomerase (topo) II inhibitors mitoxantrone, doxorubicin, and etoposide. Apoptosis induced by a topo II inhibitor is thought to be initiated by DNA damage. The neutral comet assay was used to determine whether initial drug-induced DNA damage correlated with cellular-adhesion–mediated drug resistance. Cellular adhesion by means of β1 integrins resulted in a 40% to 60% reduction in mitoxantrone- and etoposide-induced DNA double-strand breaks. When the mechanisms regulating the initial drug-induced DNA damage were examined, a β1 integrin–mediated reduction in drug-induced DNA double-strand breaks was found to correlate with reduced topo II activity and decreased salt-extractable nuclear topo IIβ protein levels. Confocal studies showed changes in the nuclear localization of topo IIβ; however, alterations in the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio of topo IIβ in FN-adhered cells were not significantly different. Furthermore, after a high level of salt extraction of nuclear proteins, higher levels of topo IIβ–associated DNA binding were observed in FN-adhered cells than in cells in suspension. Together, these data suggest that topo IIβ is more tightly bound to the nucleus of FN-adhered cells. Thus, FN adhesion by means of β1 integrins appears to protect U937 cells from initial drug-induced DNA damage by reducing topo II activity secondarily to alterations in the nuclear distribution of topo IIβ.
Takotsubo syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute, transient left ventricular dysfunction with distinct wall motion abnormalities that extend beyond the territory of a single coronary artery. Four different types of TTS are known: apical, basal, mid-ventricular, and focal. TTS was first described by Sato and colleagues in Japan in 1990, with an increasing incidence over the last years. It predominantly affects postmenopausal women. Predisposing diseases and physical or emotional triggers are frequent. The pathophysiology is not yet completely understood; however, elevated catecholamine levels seem to be central. Its clinical presentation is comparable to that of an acute coronary syndrome, and the basis of its diagnosis is exclusion of epicardial coronary lesions as the culprit for the wall motion abnormalities. Therapeutic management of TTS is still challenging, and evidence-based treatment is entirely lacking. TTS is not a benign disease and outcome is comparable to that of acute myocardial infarction.
Integrity Reinforcement Management in Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri (MTsN) 2 Tasikmalaya

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Integrity is one character instilled into the participants of Character Education Reinforcement (Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter-PPK) policies, as mentioned in the Government Regulation Number 87 of 2017. The research revealed integrity reinforcement management in MTsN 2 Tasikmalaya. The present study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interview, and documentation to collect the data. The results showed that the management of integrity character education in MTsN included several activities. (1) Planning, conducted by the stakeholder representatives to discuss the intra-curricular activities (learning), co-curricular (enrichment), extracurricular, and counseling. (2) Organizing, conducted by the principal, committee, teachers, and staff of the madrasah. (3) Implementing the activities, treating the civic education subject as the leading sector for implementing integrity reinforcement. (4) Monitoring by the principal, vice-principal in charge of the students, and civic education and counseling teachers. The management success was supported by the surrounding environments of the madrasah, teachers, and staff (internal) and parents and society (external). Meanwhile, the program faced some obstacles from the social media and the social environment of the learners. The findings imply the need for good cooperation between the madrasah, parents, and society. Monitoring the social media and the social interaction among learners become the concerns of the stakeholders.

Errors in Medical Interpretation and Their Potential Clinical Consequences in Pediatric Encounters

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background. About 19 million people in the United States are limited in English proficiency, but little is known about the frequency and potential clinical consequences of errors in medical interpretation. Objectives. To determine the frequency, categories, and potential clinical consequences of errors in medical interpretation. Methods. During a 7-month period, we audiotaped and transcribed pediatric encounters in a hospital outpatient clinic in which a Spanish interpreter was used. For each transcript, we categorized each error in medical interpretation and determined whether errors had a potential clinical consequence. Results. Thirteen encounters yielded 474 pages of transcripts. Professional hospital interpreters were present for 6 encounters; ad hoc interpreters included nurses, social workers, and an 11-year-old sibling. Three hundred ninety-six interpreter errors were noted, with a mean of 31 per encounter. The most common error type was omission (52%), followed by false fluency (16%), substitution (13%), editorialization (10%), and addition (8%). Sixty-three percent of all errors had potential clinical consequences, with a mean of 19 per encounter. Errors committed by ad hoc interpreters were significantly more likely to be errors of potential clinical consequence than those committed by hospital interpreters (77% vs 53%). Errors of clinical consequence included: 1) omitting questions about drug allergies; 2) omitting instructions on the dose, frequency, and duration of antibiotics and rehydration fluids; 3) adding that hydrocortisone cream must be applied to the entire body, instead of only to facial rash; 4) instructing a mother not to answer personal questions; 5) omitting that a child was already swabbed for a stool culture; and 6) instructing a mother to put amoxicillin in both ears for treatment of otitis media. Conclusions. Errors in medical interpretation are common, averaging 31 per clinical encounter, and omissions are the most frequent type. Most errors have potential clinical consequences, and those committed by ad hoc interpreters are significantly more likely to have potential clinical consequences than those committed by hospital interpreters. Because errors by ad hoc interpreters are more likely to have potential clinical consequences, third-party reimbursement for trained interpreter services should be considered for patients with limited English proficiency.
PRODUCTION OF ACTIVATED CARBONS FROM THE WOODWORKING INDUSTRY WASTE

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Effective waste management is an urgent task of the woodworking industry. Thermochemical methods of wood biomass processing allow to secure comprehensive processing of untapped wood resources. This work considers the possibility of obtaining carbon adsorbents from the woodworking industry waste of hazard class V. Small waste from wood processing such as sawdust and chips of different breeds of softwood were used as raw materials. The paper shows the effect of introducing small amounts of inorganic additives (sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and a mixture of acids) on the porous structure and adsorption properties of the resulting activated carbons. The kinetics of carbonization of modified and unmodified carbon base as well as the kinetics of activation of carbonisates by water vapor are investigated. It is shown that the introduction of inorganic acids noticeably intensifies reactions of the synthesis of the organic mass of carbon, which leads to a decrease in the initial temperature of thermal decomposition, an increase in the temperature range of mass loss, and the yield of carbon residue during pyrolysis. The use of phosphoric acid and a mixture of inorganic acids as softwood waste modifiers slows the process of activation by water vapor, which results from the predominance of the polycondensation reaction. While modification with sulfuric acid does not significantly affect the activation rate, it contributes to a more uniform course of the process. The technological characteristics and parameters of the porous and microporous structures of activated carbons based on woodworking industry waste are evaluated. The influence of the degree of burn-off on activated carbons is determined. A significant change in the macroporous structure during the activation process is observed for chip samples, which is associated with the size and density of the material. The most intensive development of adsorbing porosity occurs due to an increase in the degree of burn-off from 30 to 45%. Modification with inorganic acids leads to an increase in the clarification capacity compared to commercially produced carbons. Based on the conducted research, a schematic diagram of obtaining clarified powdered carbons from softwood waste is proposed.
Thermodynamics of a Bose-Einstein Condensate with Weak Disorder

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We consider the thermodynamics of a homogeneous superfluid dilute Bose gas in the presence of weak quenched disorder. Following the zero-temperature approach of Huang and Meng, we diagonalize the Hamiltonian of a dilute Bose gas in an external random delta-correlated potential by means of a Bogoliubov transformation. We extend this approach to finite temperature by combining the Popov and the many-body T-matrix approximations. This approach permits us to include the quasi-particle interactions within this temperature range. We derive the disorder-induced shifts of the Bose-Einstein critical temperature and of the temperature for the onset of superfluidity by approaching the transition points from below, i.e., from the superfluid phase. Our results lead to a phase diagram consistent with that of the finite-temperature theory of Lopatin and Vinokur which was based on the replica method, and in which the transition points were approached from above.
Business Entity Matching with Siamese Graph Convolutional Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Data integration has been studied extensively for decades and approached from different angles. However, this domain still remains largely rule-driven and lacks universal automation. Recent developments in machine learning and in particular deep learning have opened the way to more general and efficient solutions to data-integration tasks. In this paper, we demonstrate an approach that allows modeling and integrating entities by leveraging their relations and contextual information. This is achieved by combining siamese and graph neural networks to effectively propagate information between connected entities and support high scalability. We evaluated our approach on the task of integrating data about business entities, demonstrating that it outperforms both traditional rule-based systems and other deep learning approaches.
Chapter 3. Roman Law In Medieval Russia

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter looks at the various views which have been advanced through the years on the question of Roman law influence on early Russian law. It focuses on pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet scholarship in Russia itself. The actual investigation could be compared to a criminal trial, where a charge is brought, the evidence is collected, and then investigated, whereupon a decision is reached. The chapter then addresses the question: which laws, in the context of this investigation, are to be considered as influencing, and as being influenced? It considers in a general way what is to be understood by influences of one legal system on another, and looks more closely at the 'evidence'. Next, the chapter is devoted to a critical examination of the arguments in favour of Roman and Byzantine legal influences on medieval Russian law, in light of the evidence. Finally it considers subsequent developments in Russian law.Keywords: Byzantine legal influences; medieval Russian law; Roman law
INCIDENCE OF TENOSYNOVITIS IN

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

SUMMARY A tenosynovitis has been observed in numerous broiler and roaster flocks in Maine. Grossly the tendons of the distal tibiotarsal region are enlarged and hardened. Histologically there is a thickening of the flexor tendon sheaths, with much of the loose connective tissue surrounding the sheath being replaced by granulomatous and fibrous connective tissue. Tenosynovitis is believed to be a precursor of ruptured tendons, resulting in considerable condemnation of roasters.
Immunoactivity analysis of album pollen allergen

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

AIM: To analyse protein components in album pollen and evaluate their allergenicity and immunogenicity. METHODS: The components of protein allergen were collected from the crude extract of chenopodium album pollen with Sephacryl S-200 HR gel filtration for removing the impurities. Molecular weights of the components were tested through SDS-PAGE. Then the reaction rates of IgE and IgG in asthmatic patients serum to chenopodium album pollen were counted by immunoblotting. RESULTS: Twelve bands of protein were obtained through SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of each band was 92, 63.1, 61, 52, 45, 43, 39.7, 38.9, 34, 31.6, 28.4 and 18.5~12 ku. Immunobloting identified 4 protein bands recognized by sIgE, molecular weights being 92, 34, 31.6 and 18.5~12 ku, which reacted with 70%, 50%, 80% and 90% of asthmatic patient serum. Eight protein bands with molecular weights being 92, 61, 52, 45, 43, 39.7, 31.6 and 18.5~12 ku showed sIgG binding capacity, which reacted with 80%, 40%, 10%, 20%, 80%, 10%, 10% and 100% of asthmatic patient serum. CONCLUSION: Album pollen comprises 12 major protein components. Components with strong allergenicity and immunogenicity are the proteins with molecular weight of 18.5~12 and 92 ku. Proteins with molecular weight of 34 and 31.6 ku have strong allergenicity, and weak immunogenicity or not. Proteins with molecular weight of 61,43,45,52 and 39.7 ku possess certain immunogenicity, but no allergenicity.
