Genetic evaluation of cardiomyopathies in Qatar identifies enrichment of pathogenic sarcomere gene variants and possible founder disease mutations in the Arabs

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are serious inherited heart diseases with various causative mutations identified. The full spectrum of causative mutations remains to be discovered, especially in understudied populations. Methods Here, we established the DOHA Registry and Biobank for cardiomyopathies in Qatar, followed by sequencing of 174 genes on 51 HCM and 53 DCM patients, and 31 relatives. Results In HCM, the analysis of 25 HCM‐associated genes showed that 20% of HCM cases had putative pathogenic variants for cardiomyopathy, mainly in sarcomere genes. Additional 49% of HCM cases had variants of uncertain significance, while 31% of HCM cases had likely benign variant(s) or had no variants identified within the analyzed HCM genes. In DCM, 56 putative DCM genes were analyzed. Eight percent of DCM cases had putative pathogenic variants for DCM, in the TTN gene while 70% of cases had variants of uncertain significance, in the analyzed DCM genes, that will need further pathogenicity assessment. Moreover, 22% of DCM cases remain unexplained, by having likely benign variant(s) or having no variants detected in any of the analyzed DCM genes. Conclusion We identified or replicated at least four recurrent variants among cardiomyopathy patients, which could be founder disease mutations in the Arabic population, including a frameshift variant (c.1371_1381dupTATCCAGTTAT) of unknown significance in the FKTN gene which seems to cause DCM in homozygosity, and HCM in heterozygosity. In vivo and/or in vitro functional validation need to be pursued in order to assess the pathogenicity of the identified variants.

Wear and Mechanical Properties of Aluminum Alloy Based Hybrid Composites [(SiC+Gr) and (SiC+Al2O3)] Fabricated by Friction Stir Processing

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In this investigation, the influence of tool rotational speed on wear and mechanical properties of Aluminum alloy based surface hybrid composites fabricated via Friction stir processing (FSP) was studied. The fabricated surface hybrid composites have been examined by optical microscope for dispersion of reinforcement particles. Microstructures of all the surface hybrid composites revealed that the reinforcement particles (SiC, Gr and Al2O3) are uniformly dispersed in the nugget zone. It is observed that the microhardness is decreased with increasing the rotational speed and exhibited higher microhardness value in Al-SiC/Al2O3 surface hybrid composite at a rotational speed of 900 rpm, due to presence and pining effect of hard SiC and Al2O3 particles. It is also observed that high wear resistance exhibited in the Al-SiC/Gr surface hybrid composites at a rotational speed of 900 rpm due to presence of SiC and Gr acted as load bearing elements and solid lubricant respectively. The observed wear and mechanical properties have been correlated with microstructures and worn morphology.
Dynamics of the Immobilization of Anaerobic Meshopilic Bacteria on a Plastic Support

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this article,a study of the dynamics of the immobilization of mesophilic anaerobic bacteria was conducted. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) ground to fine particles was used as immobilization support in an inverse fluidized bed. After 135 d of immobilization, the biomass concentration attained was 375 µg protein/g dry plastic support. The specific rate for acetate consumption was 0. 008 µmol acetate/µg protein/h. The kinetic parameters of the bioparticles (K s = 1.067 mM and V max = 0. 00754 µmol acetate/µg protein/h) were estimated by the initial rate method at different acetate concentrations and were compared to the values obtained by a direct parameter estimation method from the dynamic assays for acetate consumption with an initial substrate concentration of 10 mM. The particles were prepared for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate the biofilm qualitatively. The SEM studies showed that the surface and cavities of the support were colonized, and the bacterial structures found were bacilli similar to Methanothrix as the predominant microorganism and a few groups of Methanosarcina-like cocci. The K svalue found is between those reported for the predominant bacterial group immobilized.
Intergovernmental councils in the United States

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article focuses on intergovernmental councils (IGCs) in the United States in which prominent state-level executive politicians, that is, governors, play a leadership role. In the US case, these IGCs developed out of a desire to facilitate interstate information exchanges and a need for state governments to join forces to protect their autonomy vis-à-vis the federal government. In this latter role, the councils function as lobbyists for state government interests. The research question driving the analysis has to do with impact: what difference do executive-led IGCs make, either vertically or horizontally, in the US federal system? The question of impact is particularly relevant because growing partisan polarization in contemporary federal and state political institutions complicates collective action by states.
[Allergens in the household].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

As an introduction a survey is given of the great changes the biotope "household" has undergone during the last decades which had quite important consequences regarding the composition and quantity of the allergens found there. Organic substances are of primary importance among the inhalation-allergens: especially animals (insects (housedust mites!) and pets), but also moulds and organic dusts. Inorganic substances, like fumes of cleansers or of formaldehyde, act more as primary irritants and only rarely cause real allergies. Among contact-allergens on the contrary, inorganic substances like metals, cleansers and the like are more often the cause of dermatitis than organic material, but juices of fruits, vegetables and sometimes also of meat or fish can provoke real allergic sensitizations.
Shadowdancing: Fear as a pathway to transformation

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This article explores the toxic dynamics of our public sphere today through a lens of the inner, soul-psychological work necessary to alter human reactivity to the sensations of fear. It employs a playful term, shadowdancing, (i) to invite curiosity into what we do not know that we do not know, (ii) to deepen our perceptions of self and other through the natural and avoidant use of projection, and (iii) to examine the ancient-new wisdom of the circle way as a “container” in which to lean into the collective dance of shadow and projection. Rooted in Jungian and object-relations psychological perspectives, each term is defined and examined in the hope of inviting fear to become a pathway to transformation within, and in circle-way gatherings of those willing. Guiding principles of invitation, not obligation; every voice is equal; catching courage from one another; and presume goodwill attempt to pique interest in finding ancient and new ways of becoming more and more conscious, and less and less reactive to the overwhelming flows of fear in our world today.
Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins in neonatal Graves's disease.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Two patients with neonatal Graves's disease are reported. One of them had a delayed onset because of suppression of the fetal thyroid gland by antithyroid drug taken by the mother during pregnancy. Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSAb), measured by a receptor assay, were present in both babies when they were thyrotoxic, and also in their mothers. TSAb were undetectable in both babies 1 year after birth. This strongly supports a pathogenetic role of TSAb in this condition through transplacental transfer of maternal TSAb.
Rorschach Assessment of Psychotic Phenomena

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Rorschach Assessment of Psychotic Phenomena takes the reader beyond where James H. Kleiger's original work, Disordered Thinking and the Rorschach, left off. This new book offers readers a number of conceptual bridges between Rorschach characteristics commonly associated with psychotic phenomena and a range of psychological, neurocognitive, and psychoanalytic constructs that help psychologists move beyond static, test-bound interpretations of scores and indices. Beginning with a broad-based understanding of disordered thinking and reality testing, Kleiger provides an updated review of the contributions of past Rorschach luminaries and contemporary figures who have helped make the Rorschach a robust tool for assessing aspects of psychotic-level experience. The contributions of major figures are highlighted and assessed in terms of their empirical, conceptual, and practical implications. In addition to providing a balanced, respectful review of each of these leading figures and the systems they developed, Kleiger offers a new way of organizing and conceptualizing what is currently understood about Rorschach scoring variables pertaining to psychotic phenomena. Kleiger's aim is to help Rorschach practitioners not only consolidate their grasp of key scoring variables and what each means about an individual's thought processes and internal experiences, but also expand their clinical understanding of the psychotic phenomena being assessed. He includes a wide range of psychotic phenomena, like negative symptoms, cognitive impairment, magical thinking, and impairment of insight, all of which are subjects of diagnostic interest when using the Rorschach with psychotically prone individuals. The final section on psychopathology looks at how the Rorschach is useful in differential diagnosis of primary psychoses and those conditions that may include secondary psychotic phenomena. In step with contemporary DSM-5 standards, Kleiger organizes his discussion of severe psychopathology in a manner consistent with how psychotic phenomena are currently understood in the clinical and scientific literature. In addition to reviewing key clinical characteristics of these conditions, along with Rorschach contributions to the diagnosis of these disorders, he also focuses his lens on the Rorschach assessment of malingered psychosis and psychotic phenomena in children and adolescents. Written with the same well-researched attention to detail and integrative style as Kleiger's earlier work, Rorschach Assessment of Psychotic Phenomena will prove invaluable to clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts interested in understanding and assessing psychosis.
Multilevel Hysteresis Control with Current Balancing of paralleled Two-level Converters

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a novel control concept for paralleled two-level converters. The parallel converters are switched in a coordinated manner. Thus, the overall system is operating like one multilevel converter, which results in a low Total Harmonic Distortion of the grid current. Furthermore, a balancing method for the individual converter currents is introduced.
Transfer Pricing Based on Actual Cost

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This paper analyzes a simple transfer-pricing policy based on the actual cost of production. I show that the performance of actual cost-based transfer pricing can be improved by using an additive markup above the unit production cost. I also show that this additive policy dominates an entire class of alternative markup policies, including the more common multiplicative policy, in which the transfer price is set at the actual cost plus a percentage markup. The optimal additive markup is shown to increase with increasing prices for the firm's product, and decrease with the cost of the supplying division's investment.
A modified modulation scheme for capacitor voltage control of renewable energy-fed grid-connected Z-Source Inverters

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

An important issue in grid connection applications is boosting the limited output voltage of the renewable energy sources. Two-stage converters are most commonly employed for successful grid connection and optimum power transfer. Single-stage converters can be used as alternative solution, since they are more reliable, compact, and efficient. Grid-connected Z-Source Inverter (ZSI) can be employed effectively as a single-stage power conversion process. For renewable energy sources, a splitting-based modulation scheme (SBMS) is proposed for capacitor voltage control to enhance the inverter response and reduce the voltage stress on the semiconductor devices. Simulation results substantiate the proposed concept. Moreover practical results of the inverter in island mode of operation are introduced.
[Electronic quantification of traction force during use of a mechanical calving aid in bovine parturition].

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

In this study, a specially developed computer-controlled system was used to obtain a continuous measurement of the forces that arise when using a mechanical calving aid. By this means, potentiograms for twenty-four births in cows using a tractive device were obtained (fourteen primiparae with an average age of twenty-eight months; ten pluriparae with an average age of fifty-four months; breeds: thirteen RB, eleven SB). A modern mechanical calving device with a locking mechanism was used as an aid in the extraction process. In births with use of light tractive force (approx. 50 kp), extraction took between 41 and +/- 21 seconds. Moderately heavy tractive force (approx. 80-100 kp) was applied in extractions taking 86 to +/- 22 seconds, whereas heavy tractive force (etwa 100-120 kp) was used in extractions lasting between 268 and +/- 117 seconds. The highest levels measured for brief applications of force were between 130 and 140 kp. Single strains of up to 150 kp were reached. Injuries in the soft birth canal were ascertained in 29.2% of the births. Such injuries were discerned more often in primiparae than in the pluriparae. The lacerations were merely superficial and caused no further after-effects. There were no limb injuries in the calves. For the use of mechanical calving aids the use of chains with exact markings should ensure that the limbs are fixated at equal lengths. Furthermore, every device should be equipped with a locking mechanism (150 kp) to prevent the use of too much force. This also prevents misjudgment of the birth situation concerning fetus size and the dimensions of the mother cow's pelvis.

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

The self-adhesive resin cement RelyX Unicem showed acceptable clinical behavior after two years of clinical service. Selective enamel etching prior to luting had no significant influence on marginal integrity, inlay integrity, tooth integrity, sensitivity or complications of the restored teeth after 24 months. Longer term evaluation is needed to confirm this finding.
The Effects of Attentional Focus and Skill Level on the Performance of Golf Putting

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to examine the distance of varying focus of attention for experienced and novice golfers on a golf putting task. Forty-eight experienced and 48 novice golfers were randomized into four attentional focus conditions: control (no instruction), internal (i.e., focus on the arm movement), external proximal (i.e., focus on the golf club), and external distal (i.e., focus on the target) conditions. Performance outcomes (the perceived level of confidence and number of golf putts made) were recorded. Experienced golfers had better performance outcomes than novice golfers. The external proximal focus was specifically beneficial for novice golfers, while experienced golfers had an advantage in both external focus instructions. The external proximal focus might enable a perception-action process for novice golfers to compare the relationship between action planning and the surrounding environment. In addition, the transition to expertise might result in no difference between both external focus instructions for experienced golfers.
High-Performance Triisopropylsilylethynyl Pentacene Transistors via Spin Coating with a Crystallization-Assisting Layer

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The effects of spin speed and an amorphous fluoropolymer (CYTOP)-patterned substrate on the crystalline structures and device performance of triisopropylsilylethynyl pentacene (TIPS-PEN) organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) were investigated. The crystallinity of the TIPS-PEN film was enhanced by decreasing the spin speed, because slow evaporation of the solvent provided a sufficient time for the formation of thermodynamically stable crystalline structures. In addition, the adoption of a CYTOP-patterned substrate induced the three-dimensional (3D) growth of the TIPS-PEN crystals, because the patterned substrate confined the TIPS-PEN molecules and allowed sufficient time for the self-organization of TIPS-PEN. TIPS-PEN OFETs fabricated at a spin speed of 300 rpm with a CYTOP-patterned substrate showed a field-effect mobility of 0.131 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), which is a remarkable improvement over previous spin-coated TIPS-PEN OFETs.
Catalysis and host-guest chemistry of M8L12 self-assembled cages

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Chapter 1 – The first chapter introduces supramolecular chemistry, metal-organic cages, and supramolecular mass spectrometry. Finally, the aims of this work are stated. \n \nChapter 2 – The second chapter covers the synthesis and characterisation of a family of M8L12 cages. Additionally, destructive and non-destructive methods for the recovery of these cages or their contained ligands have been investigated. The addition of EDTA as a complexing reagent to mixtures of guests and M8L12 cages was the most successful and sustainable method for recovering the ligands. It was shown that the cage could be successfully re-synthesised. \n \nChapter 3 – This chapter introduces binding studies of three isomeric guests of different polarities (1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-dicyanobenzene) inside two M8L12 cages in D2O/DMSO-d6 (98:2) and CD2Cl2 via NMR spectroscopy. In both solvents, the guest binding strength correlates with the guest polarity, the binding in water being stronger due to additional hydrophobic contributions. A can’t Hoff analysis in water emphasised that the differences in the guest binding energies arise from the entropy of binding, due to differences in the guest desolation across the series. \n \nChapter 4 – In this chapter, the properties of a M8L12 cage in the gas phase are presented. By utilising electrospray mass spectrometry, a M8L12 cage and its complexes were successfully ionised and their stability studied. Ion mobility spectrometry revealed the guest binding properties for complexes containing cycloundecanone (CUD), 4-methylcoumarin (MC), and 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (MAC) as guests. CUD binds inside the cage cavity forming a 1:1 complex. For MC and MAC, the amino group influences the formation of cage/coumarin complexes: i) MC formed only 1:1 and 1:2 species, whilst with MAC, up to 1:8 stoichiometries were obtained. ii) ion mobility data indicated that the MAC and MC molecules were externally bound. \n \nChapter 5 – The final chapter presents the aldol self-condensation of 1,3-indandione catalysed by a M8L12 cage in water. In the presence of the cage, the reaction undergoes slowly at weak acidic conditions, but without the cage, no reaction is observed. By inhibiting the cavity, the reaction was revealed to occur at the cage surface.
