Phénomènes et configurations des huit premiers satellites de Saturne pour 2011

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The Institut de mécanique céleste et de calcul des éphémérides (Bureau des longitudes) publishes each year in the Connaissance des Temps, the positions of the Planets, the Sun and the Moon as Chebyshev polynomials. Starting from 1996, this ephemeris gives also the positions of the satellites of Mars, of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter, of the first eight satellites of Saturn and of the five satellites of Uranus. Another supplement to the Connaissance des Temps is also published and gives: – the configurations and the phenomena of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter; The present supplement gives the configurations and the phenomena of the first eight satellites of Saturn in order to help the observers to identify those satellites. The precision of the curves allows an accuracy in the position of about 10 to 15 seconds of degree ( ′′).
Quality of Life after Critical Illness

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The demand for critical care is on the rise and is expected to grow significantly in coming decades. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a relevant outcome measure for patients recovering from critical illness. This chapter addresses several key questions about HRQoL, namely: Why measure HRQoL in critically ill patients? What do we mean with HRQoL? Which HRQoL instruments are being used? How to estimate HRQoL before ICU admission, and what is the impact of critical illness on HRQoL, particularly in the elderly? This chapter also addresses the phenomenon of response shift in survivors of critical illness related to their perceived HRQoL. It is argued that HRQoL measures for physical and psychological factors, functional status, and social interactions should be incorporated as standard quality indicators of ICU performance. These measurements will provide further insight on long-term post-ICU recovery and might be used to evaluate and track the utility of follow-up clinics after hospital discharge.
Estimation of SCC Resistance of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu System Alloy from Residual Stress and Random Strain by X-Ray Analysis.

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance of two types of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu system alloys, one of which contains a superplastic material of fine grain structure prepared by thermo mechanical treatment and the other commercial materials of coarse grain structure prepared by conventional process, was evaluated. The SCC resistance of the two materials were markedly different ; Al-Zn-Mg-Cu system alloy with coarse grains was superior to that with fine grains. In this study, the effect of X-ray residual stress and random strain on the SCC resistance in the two alloys was discussed on the basis of experimental results. The main results obtained in the present work are as follows. (1) The macro residual stress in these alloys with fine grains and coarse grains measured by X-ray diffraction method. These alloys had compressive stress, and SCC life of these alloys increased with increasing compressive stress. (2) The random strains were estimated by X-ray diffraction method. The random strain values of the alloy with fine grains were larger than those of the alloy with coarse grains. The SCC life of the alloy increased with decreasing random strain. (3) The difference in SCC threshold stresses in L and T directions in the alloys with fine and that with coarse grains agreed with the difference in sum stress of macro and micro residual stresses from random strain. Furthermore. SCC threshold stress in both materials was determined from the total stress which is the sum of the macro and the micro residual stresses and the applied stress. (4) The SCC resistance of the materials can be estimated from the residual stress and the random strain by X-ray analysis.
Sports Economy and Fight against Corruption: Which Limits to the Sporting Organisations Autonomy?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This research studies the impact of the growth of the sports economy on the limitation of the autonomy of sports organisations, taking into account the driving role of the sovereign power of public orders to fight against corruption. It illustrates the idea according to which the economic governance of sport is based on the specific governance of the International Sports Movement and it verifies how and to what extent the public orders are affecting the regulatory autonomy of sport’s transnational legal orders. The study analyses, firstly, the legal status of the sporting organisations, arguing that the fundamental operational and organisational requirements of sporting organisations have international sources and transnational effects. Secondly, it considers the economic competences of sporting organisations, detecting the limits of sport autonomy due to the exercise of economic activities. Thirdly, it points up the international convergences on managerial transparency and some examples of national and international monitoring of economic activities in sporting organisations, delineating the emergence of a specific international legal framework for economic sports governance. The analysis, finally, identifies the limits of the recent developments at international level, exposing the potential role of the European authorities and the legitimate ways to justify the international limitation of the autonomy of sport.

Does short Bowel Syndrome Increase the risk of Malign Transformation in the Intestine.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Intestinal adaptation after extensive resections is an augmented self-renewal process that might increase the risk of malignant transformation in the intestine. Furthermore, patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) may also have other risk factors for colonic malignancy. Crohn’s disease and radiation enteritis are frequent reasons for resection. Patients with SBS receive medical therapy that might increase the risk of intestinal malignancy, as well. In the present study, our purpose was to determine the incidence of gastrointestinal malignancy in a cohort of adult patients with SBS. Methods: We reviewed the records of 21 adult patients with documented SBS identified from January 2000 to December 2016 in our clinic. Patients with SBS who died in the intensive care unit in early postoperative period were excluded. There were 9 men and 12 women ranging in age from 26 to 78 years. Follow-up from the time of diagnosis of SBS ranged from 6–168 months, with a mean value of 96. A total of 12 (57.1 %) patients were followed over 5 years. Serum cancer markers, contrasted abdominal computed tomography and colonoscopy at 1 year and every 2 years, or for other indications if necessary, were used as screening methods on routine outpatient controls. Results: Three of our patients with SBS died in the first year after surgery due to accompanying diseases, and these patients were also excluded from the study. Of the remaining 18 patients, 2 (11 %) patients underwent intestinal transplantation in a different hospital. Four (22 %) patients had a previous abdominal malignancy, including colorectal cancer in 2 patients. Two (11.1 %) received radiation therapy. Recurrent colon cancer was found in one patient with liver metastases. New colon cancer was found in one patient (5.5 %), a 57 year-old man with chronic fulminant Crohn’s disease. Conclusion: There are limitations to the present study, particularly related to its retrospective nature and the heterogeneity of the patient population. However, surveillance for intestinal malignancy was performed routinely. Our findings suggest that the frequency of developing a new colon cancerin patients with SBS is low and the risk of developing a new colon cancer in patients with SBS is not increased. Reference: 1.

Salinactinospora qingdaonensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a halophilic actinomycete isolated from a salt pond

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

A novel halophilic, filamentous, actinomycete strain, designated CXB832 T , was isolated from a salt pond in Qingdao, China. Optimal growth occurred at 37 °C, pH 7.0–8.0 and 9–12 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain CXB832 T formed pale yellow to deep yellow branched substrate mycelium without fragmentation. Abundant white aerial mycelium differentiated into long chains of spores and the spores were rod-shaped with smooth surfaces. Strain CXB832 T contained meso -diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid of the cell-wall peptidoglycan, and glucose and xylose as the major whole-cell sugars. The phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phospholipids, glycolipid and unidentified lipids. MK-10(H 8 ), MK-9(H 8 ), MK-10(H 2 ) and MK-10(H 6 ) were the predominant menaquinones. The major fatty acids were i-C 16 : 0 (30.71 %), ai-C 17 : 0 (13.31 %) and C 16 : 0 (11.28 %). The G+C content of the DNA was 60.1 mol%. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel strain was most closely related to genera within the family Nocardiopsaceae , but formed a separate lineage. The highest sequence similarities were to Nocardiopsis arabia DSM 45083 T (95.4 %) and Haloactinospora alba DSM 45015 T (94.9 %). On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain CXB832 T represents a new genus and novel species in the family Nocardiopsaceae , for which the name Salinactinospora qingdaonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is CXB832 T ( = DSM 45442 T = LMG 25567 T ).
Efficacy of Two Paediatric Rotary Systems: Kedo-SG Blue™ and Prime Pedo™ Files in Primary Mandibular Molars: A Randomised Clinical Trial

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Introduction: The success of root canal procedures depends on cleaning and shaping of canals. There are several instrumentation techniques available for root canal preparation. Recently, exclusive rotary file systems called Kedo-SG Blue and Prime-Pedo have been introduced for root canal preparation in primary teeth. The inherent flexibility of these files allows them to preserve the anatomy of curved canals in primary molars. Aim: To compare the instrumentation time, obturation time, and quality of obturation using two paediatric rotary file systems, KedoSG BlueTM and Prime-PedoTM, in mandibular primary molars. Materials and Methods: A randomised clinical trial was conducted in the outpatient Department of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Narayana Dental College and Hospital, Nellore Andhra Pradesh, India, from February 1, 2019 to January 20, 2020. Fifty primary molars with necrotic pulp were included and randomly divided into two groups, with 25 teeth in each group. Group 1 and Group 2 were instrumented with Kedo-SG BlueTM and Prime-PedoTM, respectively. The time taken for instrumentation and obturation was noted in minutes, and the quality of root canal filling was recorded as optimal, underfilled, or overfilled. The data were statistically analysed using an independent Student’s t-test for time measurements and a Chi-square test for the quality of obturation. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in instrumentation time and obturation time between the two groups (p-value=0.009; 0.011). The Kedo-SG BlueTM rotary system showed a better quality of obturation compared to the Prime-PedoTM rotary system, although the difference was not statistically significant (p-value=0.22). Conclusion: The Kedo-SG BlueTM rotary system demonstrated shorter instrumentation and obturation times, as well as a higher number of optimally filled canals compared to the Prime-PedoTM rotary system. Therefore, the Kedo-SG BlueTM rotary system exhibited better clinical performance in primary molars than the Prime-PedoTM rotary system.

Electrospun polymer nanofibers as solid-phase extraction sorbents for extraction and quantification of microcystins

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Electrospun polymer nanofibers were used as novel solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents to extract and quantify the microcystins (MCs) including microcystin-RR (MC-RR) and microcystin-LR (MC-LR) from in-suit water samples. The parameters that influenced the extraction efﬁciency were studied, including the amount of nanofiber, eluted solvent, eluted volume, pH, and the water sample volume. Under optimized conditions, a linear response for MC-RR and MC-LR over the range of 0.25–4 μg/L was achieved with r2 values of 0.998 and 0.997, respectively. The extraction recovery of MC-RR and MC-LR was 97%–102% and 98%–100%, respectively, when the MC concentration was 0.25–4 μg/L. When their concentrations ranged from 0.05 μg/L to 0.25 μg/L, the MCs could be detected with high accuracy by the nanofiber SPE sorbent combined with nitrogen gas. Due to its simplicity, environment-friendliness, high efficiency, reusability, and sensitivity, the electrospun polymer nanofiber can be applied as a novel SPE sorbent to extract and detect the MCs from in-suit water samples.Supplemental_materials.zip
P4‐085: CATATONIA AS CLINICAL PRESENTATION OF ANTI‐N‐METHYL‐D‐ASPARTATE (ANTI‐NMDA) RECEPTOR ENCEPHALITIS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis, the most common type of autoimmune encephalitis, may present with neuropsychiatric symptoms. This case report describes a patient with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis who presented with a clinical syndrome resembling catatonia. A 52-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with a 5-month history of progressive deterioration of verbal output, ambulation and urinary incontinence. She was diagnosed with bipolar disease in 2010 and started on lithium treatment. She had an episode of catatonic depression in 2010, a manic episode in 2012 and an episode of psychotic depression in 2014. She received electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) after depressive episodes in 2010 and 2014. She did not fully recover to baseline psychiatric status after these episodes. Five months prior to admission, she started developing apathy and ataxia and then became increasingly more apathetic. On admission, her neurologic examination revealed severe apathy and decreased responsiveness, her verbal output was limited to a few words. She was unable to stand and walk. She had bilateral increased muscle tone with waxy flexibility. Psychiatric consultation resulted in a suspected diagnosis of catatonic psychosis. MRI showed frontoparietal cortical atrophy. Electroencephalography (EEG) depicted irregular theta waves on both hemispheres. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein level was elevated (70.8 mg/dL), and anti-NMDA receptor antibodies were positive in the CSF. Detailed screening for malignancies remained negative. Intravenous methylprednisolone (1 gr/kg for 5 days) and intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg) treatments were started. After immunosuppressive treatment, her mental status improved and verbal output increased. After 7 days of treatment she was able to sit and walk with assistance, her EEG became normalized. In patients with a clinical presentation resembling catatonic psychosis, the possibility of anti-NMDA encephalitis should be considered.
Product Development and Quality Characterization of Pulse-based Extruded Ready to Eat Snacks

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This study was aimed to enhance the value of pulse based food products and estimate its suitability for manufacturing of extruded snack products. Response surface methodology (RSM) was implemented to study the effect of extrusion process parameter and to optimize proximate and mineral composition, phytochemicals, physical properties (expansion ratio, bulk density and specific length), functional properties (WHC, WAI and WSI), microbial load and sensory quality attributes during extrusion process. Chickpea (Desi), Haricot Bean (Nasir), Maize (Melkassa 2) and Finger Millet (Taddesse) varieties were studied for proximate composition, phytochemical content, physical properties and functional properties. By applying mixture experimental design D-optimal software formulation containing 41.1g/100g Chickpea flour,16.0g/100g Haricot Beans flour, 31.9g/100g Maize flour and 10.9g/100 of Finger Millet flour was selected as the greatest source of energy (400.561kcal) and protein (18.09g/10g). The extrusion process variables were barrel temperature (120, 140 and 160°C) and screw speed (200, 270 and 340 rpm) feed moisture (15, 16.5 and 18%) through a die diameter of 6mm. The optimum extrudate which was obtained at 120oC (barrel temperature), 340rpm (screw speed) and 15% (feed moisture content) had 16.24% protein, 6.49 % fat, 2.66 % fiber, 2.51% ash and 74.01 % total CHO and 3.38, 2.22, 15.53, 90.47mg/100g for Fe, Zn, Ca, and Mg and 38.05 % phytate and 56.34% reduction of tannins was observed in this study. The maximum water absorption index (6.017g/g) and minimum load at break (16 N) values of the extrudates from texture analyzer (LLOYD level-05) were observed at 120oC, 340 rpm screw speed and 15% feed moisture content. Sensory quality evaluation of extrudate produced at 120oC, 340 rpm screw speed and 15% feed moisture content were significantly (P<0.05) better in color (8.22 ± 0.667), appearance (8.22± 0.441) crispiness (8.44 ± 0.527) flavour (8.33± 0.50), and overall acceptability (8.33 ± 0.50). The increment in mass flow rate from 19.84g/sec to 33.82g/sec was observed due to increase in screw speed from 200 to 340 rpm. Microbiological result showed that Coliform and E. coli were not detected at all in all extrudate. The total plate count and yeast and mold count analysis was found in the safe limit according to FAO and WHO. In conclusion 120oC barrel temperature, 340 rpm screw speed and 15% moisture content have been found to be ideal operating variables for pulse-based extrudate development. Key words: - Haricot beans, finger millets, Maize, response surface methodology, mixture design, ready to eat snacks.

Regional Warming and Emerging Vector-Borne Zoonotic Dirofilariosis in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Other Post-Soviet States from 1981 to 2011 and Projection by 2030

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We analyze through a climatic model the influence of regional warming on the geographical spreading and potential risk of infection of human dirofilariosis in Russia, Ukraine, and other post-Soviet states from 1981 to 2011 and estimate the situation by 2030. The model correctly predicts the spatiotemporal location of 97.10% of 2154 clinical cases reported in the area during the studied period, identified by a retrospective review of the literature. There exists also a significant correlation between annual predicted Dirofilaria generations and calculated morbidity. The model states the progressive increase of 14.8% in the potential transmission area, up to latitude 64°N, and 14.7% in population exposure. By 2030 an increase of 18.5% in transmission area and 10.8% in population exposure is expected. These findings strongly suggest the influence of global warming in both geographical spreading and increase in the number of Dirofilaria generations. The results should alert about the epidemiological behavior of dirofilariosis and other mosquito-borne diseases in these and other countries with similar climatic characteristics.
Chapter 4: Judicial Control of the Guardian – Explaining Patterns of Governmental Annulment Litigation against the European Commission

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter investigates actions for annulment. Annulment actions constitute a central yet by-and-large neglected device of judicial review in the European Union. We focus on cases in which member states take the European Commission to the Court of Justice of the European Union in order to fend off interferences with domestic policy application. Specifically, we ask when and why member states initiate such actions for annulment. To assess the validity of different answers to this question, we use data on the frequency of annulment litigation and evaluate the impact of four potential explanatory factors: the creative agency of the supervising Commission, the inept application of EU law by a shirking agent government, the heterogeneity of preferences held by the collective principal (i.e., the Council), and the interruption of the relationship between the commission and member state governments.
