Portable valve-less peristaltic micropump design and fabrication

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper is to describe a design and fabrication method for a valve-less peristaltic micro-pump. The valve-less peristaltic micro-pump with three membrane chambers in a serial is actuated by three piezoelectric (PZT) actuators. With the fluidic flow design, liquid in the flow channel is pumped to a constant flow speed ranged from 0.4 to 0.48 mm/s. In term of the maximum flow rate of the micro-pump is about 365 mircoliters/min, when the applied voltage is 24V and frequency 50 Hz. Photolithography process was used to fabricate the micro-pump mold. PDMS molding and PDMS bonding method were used to fabricate the micro-channel and actuator chambers. A portable drive controller was designed to control three PZT actuators in a proper sequence to drive the chamber membrane. Then, all parts were integrated into the portable valve-less peristaltic micro-pump system.
Elaboration and Mechanical Behavior of High Strength Foam Glass

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The new high strength foam glass-ceramics were prepared by sintering method using waste cathode ray tube (CRT) as the raw material and SiC as foaming agent. The effect of foaming agent dosage, heating rate, cooling rate and holding time on mechanical properties of the sample were analyzed by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The experimental results indicate that mechanical strength is strongly affected by dosage of foam agent, heating rate, cooling rate and holding time. Due to the precipitation of Pb, Pb3O4 and Al6Si2O13 and a dense porous structure, high mechanical strength values of 2~20 MPa could be obtained by adding 1~7 wt% SiC, a relatively low sintering temperature around 840℃ and a cooling rate of 1~2℃/min. Good correlations between mechanical strength, precipitation of micro-crystals and SiC dosage were observed.
PENGARUH BODY IMAGE TERHADAP KEPERCAYAAN DIRI SISWA

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Everyone has their own standard of physical form. But in reality, not everyone has a physique that matches the standards he has made. This triggers many people who are less confident with their physical form. This condition makes researchers carry out research that intends to see the effect of body image on self-confidence. This research uses correlational quantitative research with student subjects. This research instrument uses a body image scale and a self-confidence scale. Validity testing uses expert tests and trials, while reliability uses Cronbach's Alpha. This research data analysis technique uses the Linear Regression formula. The results of the research show that there is an effect of body image on students' self-confidence. The magnitude of the influence of Body Image on self-confidence is 35.8%.
A Selection Method for Pipe Network Boosting Plans

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Based on the fuzzy mathematics theory, a multi-objective fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method used for selection of pipe network boosting plans was proposed by computing relative membership matrix and weight vector for indexes. The example results show that the multi-objective fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method combining the indexes and the fuzzy relationship between them is suited to realities and can provide reference for decision of pipe network boosting plan.

[Intraperitoneal administration of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) for peritoneal carcinomatosis caused by gastric cancers].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The effectiveness of the intraperitoneal administration of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) for peritoneal carcinomatosis by gastric cancers was evaluated through experimental and clinical studies. In experimental studies, the effect of sodium thiosulfate (STS) on cytotoxic activity of DDP was evaluated by MTT assay using human gastric cancer cell lines. The cytotoxic activity of DDP was reduced by 50% with 100-fold STS in the area under the curve (AUC), whereas 10-fold STS in AUC did not reduce the cytotoxicity of DDP. In clinical studies, patients were treated with one of three protocols: Group A was treated by the intraperitoneal injection (ip) of DDP at a dose of 70 mg/m2, and group B or C was treated by ip DDP at a dose of 110 mg/m2 with or without STS rescue. The pharmacodynamics and the adverse effects of treatments were evaluated between these three protocols. In group C, the means of AUC of STS were 2.43-, 10.8- and 86.8-fold those of total platinum in the peritoneal cavity, plasma, and urine, respectively. There were 1/5, 1/2 and 2/2 partial responses in peritoneal carcinomatosis patients treated with A, B and C. Renal toxicity was not observed in the patients treated with DDP and STS rescue. STS does not seem to reduce the antitumor activity of DDP in peritoneal cavity and plasma, while the renal cytotoxicity was reduced by STS rescue. The result led us to conclude that intraperitoneal DDP treatment combined with STS rescue would be useful chemotherapy against peritoneal carcinomatosis by gastric cancer.
Joint Media Streaming Optimization of Energy and Rebuffering Time in Cellular Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Streaming services are gaining popularity and have contributed a tremendous fraction of today's cellular network traffic. Both playback fluency and battery endurance are significant performance metrics for mobile streaming services. However, because of the unpredictable network condition and the loose coupling between upper layer streaming protocols and underlying network configurations, jointly optimizing rebuffering time and energy consumption for mobile streaming services remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that effectively addresses the above limitations and optimizes video transmission in cellular networks. We design two complementary algorithms, Rebuffering Time Minimization Algorithm (RTMA) and Energy Minimization Algorithm (EMA) in this framework, to achieve smoothed playback and energy-efficiency on demand over multi-user scenarios. Our algorithms integrate cross-layer parameters to schedule video delivery. Specifically, RTMA aims at achieving the minimum rebuffering time with limited energy and EMA tries to obtain the minimum energy consumption while meeting the rebuffering time constraint. Extensive simulation demonstrates that RTMA is able to reduce at least 68% rebuffering time and EMA can achieve more than 27% energy reduction compared with other state-of-the-art solutions.

The 'Growth Disease' in American Institutional Medicine-Reply

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In Reply.—

I have had considerable correspondence from physicians concerning my commentary on "The 'Growth Disease' in American Institutional Medicine," but none from administrators or hospital board members. Mr Bader's thoughtful and incisive letter is, therefore, interesting and particularly welcome. It seems to me that the views expressed in my article, which reflect the thinking of most physicians I know, are strikingly consistent with Mr Bader's views. He states that there are reasons other than institutional growth that explain rising medical costs. I certainly agree. He stresses the need for controlling the ambitions of physicians for their particular vested interests. I certainly agree with that. Mr Bader approves of the "corporate governance model" that was outlined in the article and appropriately defines how to strengthen it and what its proper role should be. I have no disagreement. He stresses the need for effective management, and in this he is certainly
Alternative approach to endoluminal treatment of an anastomotic aneurysm.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Conventional surgical treatment of patients with an anastomotic aneurysm can be a surgical challenge if severe adhesions are present. We report here effective treatment of an anastomotic aneurysm using an endoluminal stent graft. A 71-year-old man had undergone an aorto-bifemoral bypass for Leriche's syndrome in 1989 and partial gastrectomy for cancer in 1996. He was admitted to our department with a pseudoaneurysm of a proximal anastomosis located at the aorta below both renal arteries. Based on his medico-surgical history, we considered that an endovascular stent should be placed. This graft composed of an UBE(UBE-WOVEN GRAFT) graft and self-expandable Z stents were introduced through the right limb of the bifurcated graft previously implanted, then were placed using the delivery system while advancing under fluoroscopic control, using a pusher rod. Endoleakage was not evident and the postoperative course was uneventful. An endovascular graft is one alternative approach for treating patients with an anastomotic aneurysm as it is less invasive. This procedure proved satisfactory for this patient.
Effect of Age on Prediction of Hearing Loss with the Bivariate-Plotting Procedure

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The effect of age on accuracy of prediction of hearing impairment with the bivariate-plotting procedure was investigated in 72 normal-hearing subjects aged 20–69 years and in 86 sensorineural hearing-impaired subjects aged 20–83 years. The predictive accuracy with the bivariate-plotting procedure improved markedly when the data from subjects over 44 years of age were excluded from the bivariate plot. The predictive accuracy improved further when the construction of the line segments in the traditional bivariate plot was modified.

Thermoeconomic modelling for power plants under flexible operation: The case of a turbogas for CCPP generation

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

The power generation mix has deeply changed due to penetration of RES (Renewable Energy Sources) into the grid and fluctuation of the supply/demand of electricity. In Italy the power generation mix has relied on CCPPs (Combined Cycle Power Plants) so far. Therefore these plants, which were designed for base-load generation, are now called to cover the peak-load demand in order to maintain competitiveness and to balance the fluctuations of RES. This new asset will be essential for the reliability of the network in the middle term, until large storage capacity and smart grids are introduced. Indeed, plant operators face unknown response of the plants to the dynamic operation and a new structure of the production costs. It is therefore necessary to evaluate the internal cost structure of electricity generation in order to identify the best operation strategy for CCPPs in this new dynamic framework and to assess its consequences on capital and resources expenditure. The present work proposes thermoeconomic analysis as a tool to fulfil such objective, since it may provide a consistent cost allocation basis and a unique ground for weighing cost sources. The model is applied to quasi-steady operation profiles of a turbogas for CCPP generation. Thermoeconomic costs, exergoeconomic factors, relative cost differences are calculated as functions of the load profile and its slope, so that an evaluation of the capital and exergy expenditure of the different operation strategies can be carried out.

Learning Activity Packets (LAPs) for Personal Development in Senior High School in Ilocos Norte, Philippines

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The study developed and validated Learning Activity Packets (LAPs) for Personal Development. The LAPs contain lessons based on the most essential learning competencies (MELCS). The following are provided for in every lesson: learning competencies and objectives, background information for learners, activities, rubric and guide questions (if needed), reflection, assessment, references and answer key. The Research and Development (R & D) method was employed. The following steps were followed: 1) preliminary preparation; 2) detailed writing specifications; 3) writing the LAPs; 4) preparation for the initial draft of the LAPs; 5) validation of the LAPs to panel of experts; 6) revision of the LAPs based from the evaluators’ comments and suggestions; and 7) final production of the LAPs. Data were gathered using two instruments namely: a) survey checklist on the least mastered competencies of Personal Development which served as the basis for the development of learning activity packets (LAPs) in Personal Development; and b) validation scale to determine the validity of the learning activity packets in terms of competencies, content, instructional qualities and assessment. The validity of the LAPs was determined using the weighted mean. The results revealed that the LAPs for teaching Personal Development in senior high school met the requirements for developing instructional materials as manifested by the overall mean of 3.70 with descriptive interpretation as highly valid. The Learning Activity Packets for Personal Development is recommended for use and to further validate and determine its effectiveness, and so that it can be further revised and refined. Similar research is recommended to continue the development of learning activity packets in other grade levels in the Araling Panlipunan curriculum and senior high school subjects.

The primary objective of this “Glossary of Terms Used in Immunotoxicology” is to give clear definitions for those who contribute to studies relevant to immunotoxicology but are not themselves immunologists. This applies especially to chemists who need to understand the literature of immunology without recourse to a multiplicity of other glossaries or dictionaries. The glossary includes terms related to basic and clinical immunology insofar as they are necessary for a self-contained document, and particularly terms related to diagnosing, measuring, and understanding effects of substances on the immune system. The glossary consists of about 1200 terms as primary alphabetical entries, and Annexes of common abbreviations, examples of chemicals with known effects on the immune system, autoantibodies in autoimmune disease, and therapeutic agents used in autoimmune disease and cancer. The authors hope that among the groups who will find this glossary helpful, in addition to chemists, are toxicologists, pharmacologists, medical practitioners, risk assessors, and regulatory authorities. In particular, it should facilitate the worldwide use of chemistry in relation to occupational and environmental risk assessment.
[A new, empirically established hypochondriasis diagnosis--secondary publication].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The narrow ICD-10 and DSM-IV definition of hypochondriasis makes it a rarely used diagnosis. Based on a latent class analysis of the symptoms exhibited by 701 patients (ages 18-65) in general practice, a new and more valid hypochondriasis diagnosis was defined in this study. The main symptom is "obsessive rumination about illnesses", and the patient must also have at least one of five other symptoms. The prevalence was 9.5 for both genders. There was a good agreement between the diagnoses made during the psychiatric interview and the physicians' assessments.
Estimating service level impacts from changes in cycle count, buffer stock, or corrective action

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Inventory managers, tasked with providing adequate levels of material support, need to be able to gain insights, in a computationally easy manner, to the magnitude of improvements in protection levels against stockouts that can be gleaned from the three mechanisms available to them—more buffer stock, more physical inventories, or more corrective action to eliminate or reduce the causes for the errors arising in the first place. Armed with quantitative conservative estimates of the types of improvements available from any of these three mechanisms or combinations of the mechanisms, and the relative cost of each, the manager is is a better position to select a cost‐effective, remedial course of action.
In vitro Evaluation of Fungicides Plant Extracts and Bio-agents against Alternaria helianthi causing Leaf Blight of Sunflower

Alternaria leaf blight of sunflower caused by Alternaria helianthi is an important disease of sunflower. The study conducted on in vitro evaluation of new molecules of fungicides and plant extracts against Alternaria helianthi, causal agent of Alternaria blight of sunflower. In vitro evaluation of fungicides revealed that, among four systemic fungicides hexaconazole and propiconazole were highly effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth with 100% inhibition among non systemic fungicides the maximum inhibition of mycelial growth was found in captan (86.30%) at 600 ppm concentration followed by copper oxy chloride (84.07%) whereas, among the botanicals neem seed kernel extracts at 10 per cent(43.74%) showed positive effect on inhibition of pathogen mycelium growth followed by neem leaf extracts(25.26%). Trichoderma harzianum shows the best bio agents against Alternaria helianthi with highest per cent inhibition (72.48%).
Marginalization through social ostracism: Effects of being ignored and excluded

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Humans rely on social interactions with others to fulfill fundamental social, psychological, and survival needs. These interactions provide basic survival needs for mating, food, and protection, but also provide the higher-order socioeconomic advantages of cooperation and reciprocity. Perhaps most importantly, however, social interactions provide individuals with a sense of belonging and recognition from their mates. Not all social interactions are pleasant, yet they still provide a sense of recognition, and in some cases belonging. For instance, aversive forms of interpersonal interaction such as bullying and overt forms of rejection still provide the individual with a sense of recognition and importance. Others must go out of their ways to bully, to overtly reject, and this expended effort alone is substantiation that one deserves recognition. However, another aversive interpersonal behavior deprives the individual of the sense of recognition and meaning: ostracism. We define ostracism as being ignored and excluded (Williams, 1997, 2001, 2007, 2009). Ostracism can occur through the physical banishment or exile of an individual or group to venues that are separate from the others. In this sense, extreme forms of segregation could be viewed as physical ostracism. Ostracism can also occur without physical separation. When society's actions communicate to individuals or groups that they are psychologically invisible and inaudible to the larger society, they become socially ostracized. By being marginalized in this way, they have no measurable impact on their society. They are not recognized, nor do they have voice.
