Smoking cessation: Results of three year's activity

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Cigarette smoking is widely considered the most common cause of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases and smoking cessation programs are effective in the treatment of this condition. Aims: To analyse the results of our protocol for smoking cessation after three years of activity; to check the efficacy of follow up; to value the drug success rate of NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy), Varenicline and association between Varenicline and Nicotine Inhaler. Methods: from June 2006 to December 2010 we enrolled 445 subjects, 163 men (37%) and 282 women (63%). All patients who participated in our protocol, which includes a course of three sessions and counselling combinated with drug therapy (Nicotine Therapy Replacement and/or Varenicline), were called by phone in February 2011. Results: The mean age of our patients was 49±11 years and the mean smoking exposure 34 pack/years. The degree of nicotine dependence tested with Fagerstrom Questionnaire was very low (0-2) in 9% of patients, low (3-4) in 17%, medium (5-6) in 34%, high (7-8) in 30% and very high (9-10) in 10%. The average of Exhaled Carbon Monoxide (CO) was 25±13 ppm. The abstinence rate was: after a month 71%, 3 months 38.4%, 6 months 37.9%, 1 year 37.8%, 2 years 36.3% and 3 years 26.5%. The drug therapy success rate was 37.2% for NRT, 28.5% for Varenicline and 34.2% for Varenicline associated with Nicotine Inhaler as needed. Conclusions: Our results confirm the importance of follow up and regular phone calls in improving outcomes in smoking cessation. The NRT has showed the best success rate and the efficacy of Vareniclina can be improved with Nicotine Inhaler association: maybe we can consider this drug combination like an emerging treatment.
HMMR acts in the PLK1-dependent spindle positioning pathway and supports neural development

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

Oriented cell division is one mechanism progenitor cells use during development and to maintain tissue homeostasis. Common to most cell types is the asymmetric establishment and regulation of cortical NuMA-dynein complexes that position the mitotic spindle. Here, we discover that HMMR acts at centrosomes in a PLK1-dependent pathway that locates active Ran and modulates the cortical localization of NuMA-dynein complexes to correct mispositioned spindles. This pathway was discovered through the creation and analysis of Hmmr-knockout mice, which suffer neonatal lethality with defective neural development and pleiotropic phenotypes in multiple tissues. HMMR over-expression in immortalized cancer cells induces phenotypes consistent with an increase in active Ran including defects in spindle orientation. These data identify an essential role for HMMR in the PLK1-dependent regulatory pathway that orients progenitor cell division and supports neural development.

Plant volatiles: Using Scented molecules as food additives

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Secondary metabolism of plants produces molecules that are widely used in the food industry for many years. The demand for these molecules has been increasing, and special focus has been given to volatile molecules. The study of secondary metabolites with special focus on the volatile molecules is overviewed, explaining their bioactivities and examples of application in the food industry. Systematic analysis of volatiles and their applications. Specific analysis of volatile components of plants and their use as active packaging and airborne food preservatives. Some work has been done regarding volatiles in terms of food preservation but is focused mostly on postharvest protection. Considering the number of studies regarding the use of volatiles, the industry should start implementing these molecules for more sustainable approaches to preservation. The food industry has researched plant volatiles for some years, but the focus has been almost exclusively on postharvest protection, and more research can be directed to other food categories. Technology to overcome limitations of plant volatiles is expected to improve, placing pressure on regulatory bodies to allow these molecules in foods, on par with consumer and industry preference for natural-based molecules used in foods.
Galactose Fermentation and Classification of Thermophilic Lactobacilli

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The ability to ferment galactose is a major characteristic which can be used to differentiate Lactobacillus helveticus (galactose positive) from Lactobacillus lactis and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (galactose negative). In milk cultures, galactose-positive strains produced d - and l -lactic acid with little galactose accumulation, whereas galactose-negative strains produced d -lactic acid, and galactose accumulated to high levels.
Precessional reversal in orthogonal spin transfer magnetic random access memory devices

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Single-shot time-resolved resistance measurements have been used to determine the magnetization reversal mechanisms of orthogonal spin transfer magnetic random access memory (OST-MRAM) devices at nanosecond time scales. There is a strong asymmetry between antiparallel (AP) to parallel (P) and P to AP transitions under the same pulse conditions. P to AP transitions are shown to occur by precession of the free layer magnetization, while the AP to P transition is typically direct, occurring in less than 200 ps. We associate the asymmetry with spin torques perpendicular to the plane of the free layer, an important characteristic of OST-MRAM bit cells that can be used to optimize device performance.
Cytotoxicity of bleomycin and external radiation in squamous cell cancer cell lines of head and neck.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Bleomycin, a natural antibiotic toxic to dividing cells, has been successfully used in combinations for treatment of recurrent head and neck cancer. In this study, we investigated five recently established head and neck squamous cell cancer lines (UT-SCC-2, UT-SCC-8, UT-SCC-9, UT-SCC-12A, UT-SCC-19A) in terms of response to bleomycin and radiation treatment. Experiments were carried out using the 96-well plate clonogenic assay for concentration determinations causing 20% (IC20), 50% (IC50), and 90% (IC90) inhibition of clonogenic survival and dose-response calculations for bleomycin. Survival fraction after a radiation dose of 2 Gy (SF2) was used as a measure for radiation sensitivity. The sensitivity for bleomycin was in good accordance with radiation sensitivity except for cell line UT-SCC-9. This was the cell line most sensitive to radiation (SF2 = 0.25 +/- 0.03) but was fairly resistant to chemotherapy (IC50 = 11.5M). Sensitivity patterns may suggest partly different mechanisms of action.
Congenital sideroblastic anemia: A report of two cases

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Sideroblastic anemia, comprising of acquired and congenital forms, is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the presence of ring sideroblasts in the bone marrow. Congenital sideroblastic anemia is a rare condition which is mostly X-linked, caused by mutations of delta-aminolevulinic acid synthase 2. We describe two cases of congenital sideroblastic anemia, one of them indicating an autosomal recessive inheritance, with their clinico-hematological profile. It is important to recognize this entity early in life as a significant percentage of cases respond to pyridoxine thus avoiding any long-term complications.
Immigrant educators and students’ academic achievement

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Using a dataset which allows students to be linked to their teachers, this paper examines how educators with an immigrant background affect the academic achievements of secondary school students in the United States. To account for the possibility that immigrant and native teachers may be assigned to different types of schools, and even within schools, to different types of students, two estimation strategies are employed. The first estimates the immigrant teacher impact by comparing the achievements of students with immigrant teachers to the achievements of observationally similar students with native teachers, within schools. The second compares the achievement of a student with an immigrant teacher in one subject to the achievement of the same student with a native teacher in another subject. Contrary to popular perception, the results suggest that, overall, immigrant teachers do not have a negative impact on the educational achievements of native students.
Optimization of Thermal Control Design for Aerial Reflective Opto-Mechanical Structure

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

To improve the adaptability of aerial reflective opto-mechanical structures to low-temperature environments, an optimized thermal control design is proposed. Firstly, the relationship be-tween conventional heating methods and axial/radial temperature differences of mirrors with different shapes is analyzed. Based on heat transfer analyses, it is pointed out that optimized thermal control design is necessary to ensure the temperature uniformity of the fused silica mirror and take into account the temperature level when working in low temperature environ-ments. A thermal control scheme based on temperature negative feedback variable power zone heating is proposed for the characteristics of aerial electro-optics systems. Using the thermal control scheme at low temperatures ensures that the average temperature of the mirror fluctu-ates slowly and slightly around 20℃. At the same time, the temperature differences within a mirror and between the primary mirror and the secondary mirror can be controlled within 5℃. Thereby, satisfactory image quality is obtained.
The Notion of Love in the Early Twentieth-Century Russian Philosophical Tradition

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article presents the central paradigms of the understanding of love by early twentieth-century Russian philosophers. It shows that interpreting the meaning of erotic love as a way of overcoming death, as proposed by Vladimir Solovyov, largely determined not only the metaphysical inquiries, but also the personal life strategies of those who contributed to Russian Silver-Age culture. The author argues that familiarity with the autobiographies of philosophers and their lives is important for better understanding of the Russian philosophical tradition and appreciation of how this tradition was shaped by love-as-suffering, love-as-service, and love-as-friendship.
Structure and Reactivity of Energetic Chemical Species.

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Energetic chemical species have been investigated by both experimental and theoretical methods. Paramagnetic relaxation methods have been used to probe the spatial distribution of radiation-procuced, trapped radicals and electrons in organic polymers, organic glasses and alkaline ice. Photoionization-produced electrons are trapped uniformly in the matrix while Co-60 gamma and T-beta irradiation produce nonuniform distributions. T-beta irradiation is more densely ionizing than gamma but produces a more uniform distribution. The radius within which electrons are trapped increases with decreasing matrix polarity. Photoconductivity of trapped electrons has been observed and the excited state energy levels have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Charge storage and the conduction mechanism have been studied in organic polymers by measuring thermoelectric currents. The bonding in H3(+) has been analyzed. Gaussian basis orbitals have been introduced into lower energy bound calculations. Methods for finding the best separated pair geminals of a closed shell molecule have been developed. Calculations on large molecules using Gaussian orbitals have been studied by doing calculations on molecular fragments and combining these fragments into molecules. Triplet-triplet transfer in naphthalene-biacetyl mixtures and a search for the triplet biacetyl microwave spectrum is reported. (Author)
The Constitutional Justification of Religion

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article addresses religion from a legal perspective. It argues that religious matters should be settled outside the secular legal system; otherwise, the secular legal system would not be truly secular. However, religion demands special protection as a public good and social value, as it constitutes an extrinsic constitutional limit of the legal. For a secular legal system, protecting religion ultimately means protecting human beings' pursuit of the suprarational. Protecting suprarationality has three important legal consequences: (a) suprarational acts in the strictest sense should never be validated as legal acts; (b) democratic communities should not use suprarational arguments in legal discourse; and (c) the secular legal system cannot regulate suprarationality or the essentials of the religious community. The protection of religion demands both a dualistic structure that distinguishes the political community from the religious community and the treatment of religion as a right: the right to religion.
Sustainable high emissivity of Si&ndash;Zr&ndash;C&ndash;O fiber felts despite oxide layer formation in oxidative environment

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The effect of oxide layer formation on the emissivity of Si–Zr–C–O fibers was examined in this study. In order to form a uniform oxide layer on each fiber surface, the Si–Zr–C–O fiber felt was exposed to air at a high temperature. The oxide layer consisted of SiO2 (cristobalite) and dispersed 10–25 nm ZrO2 particles. Whereas, the fiber core itself exhibited no microstructural changes crystallographically or morphologically despite the exposure. The total emissivity of the exposed fiber felt calculated at 1000°C was 87.6 ± 4.1% and exhibited a similar value to the initial total emissivity (89.2 ± 4.2%). These results indicated that the emissivity of the Si–Zr–C–O fiber felt was unchanged irrespective of the formation of the oxide layer when the layer thickness was less than 5–6 µm. Furthermore, the radiation heat transfer performance was theoretically evaluated taking into consideration the diameter degradation of the fiber core itself. This suggests that the decrease in size of the diameter of the fiber core do not have a significant effect on heat transfer in this study range.

Kant’s Rejection of Leibniz’s Principle and the Individuality of Quantum Objects

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Kant rejects Leibniz’s Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles (PII). In quantum mechanics, Leibniz’s principle is also apparently violated. However, both ways of rejecting the PII differ significantly. In particular, Kant denies that spatiotemporal objects are unique individuals and establishes appearances as merely singular ones. The distinction between ‘unique’ and ‘singular’ individuals is crucial for the role that intuition plays in cognition: it will be shown that Kant’s way of rejecting the PII goes against the standard versions of conceptualism and non-conceptualism which, in turn, points out the relevance of this issue for the understanding of transcendental idealism. Finally, the systematic relevance will be checked by defending a Kantian interpretation of quantum individuality.

The Contribution of HI-Rich Galaxies to the Damped Absorber Population at z=0

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We present a study of HI-rich galaxies in the local universe selected from blind emission-line surveys. These galaxies represent the emission-line counterparts of local damped Lyman-alpha systems. We find that the HI cross-section of galaxies is drawn from a large range of galaxy masses below M_star, 66% of the area comes from galaxies in the range 8.5 < Log M_star < 9.7. Both because of the low mass galaxy contribution, and because of the range of galaxy types and luminosities at any given HI mass, the galaxies contributing to the HI cross-section are not exclusively L_star spirals, as is often expected. The optical and near infrared counterparts of these galaxies cover a range of types (from spirals to irregulars), luminosities (from L_star to <0.01 L_star), and surface brightnesses. The range of optical and near infrared properties as well as the kinematics for this population are consistent with the properties for the low-z damped Lyman-alpha absorbers. We also show that the number of HI-rich galaxies in the local universe does not preclude evolution of the low-z damped absorber population, but it is consistent with no evolution.
Data analytic on student assessment results

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Multiple educational institutes have adopted e-learning platform to enhance their education systems. A significant amount of student learning data has been generated from student activities on the e-learning platform. Many universities tried to make fully utilize these educational data to track student performance and improve the quality of education. This motivates the proposal for this final year project. In the first phase of this project, machine learning techniques are implemented to identify low-participation students and predict students’ final exam performance based on their continuous assessment as well as their engagement with the virtual learning environment (VLE). The VLE is a new form of e-learning system that stores materials, course lectures, and assessment. By only capturing the first few weeks’ student records, Course coordinates can view the prediction result and identify students at risk and take further actions in time. The machine learning implementation stage consists of data preparation, data preprocessing, feature engineering, correlation analysis, data modeling, model tuning, and performance evaluation. In the second phase of this project, a data analysis website is constructed for student statistics visualization purpose. Outcome-Based Learning is implemented. A weekly outcome gain mapping for the designated student can be generated on the website as well. The website development contains two part: the database design and website design. The Open University (OU) is a large university located in Europe. Nearly 200,000 students participated in various courses in the OU. After noticing the transferable properties and structures between OASIS data and OU data, this project implements both simulated OASIS data and real-world student data to avoid limitations of simulated data. OASIS data was used for the website visualization and the OU dataset was implemented for Machine Learning prediction.
