PROGNOSTIC DETERMINANTS IN PATIENTS WITH LONG-TERM CARDIAC PACING

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A follow-up study of 196 patients with atrioventricular block and long-term cardiac pacing revealed that the presence of congestive heart failure, cardiomegaly, significant coronary sclerosis and the advanced age were the important factors in a worsening prognosis. On the other hand, no prognostic factors were identified in sick sinus syndrome.Forty of 275 patients with long-term cardiac pacing died during the last 12 years. Thirty-one died within three years after the implantation of the cardiac pacemaker. The leading cause of death was congestive heart failure (13 cases), followed by cerebro-vascular accidents (12 cases), sudden unexpected death (five cases), malignancies (five cases) and acute myocardial infarction (two cases).
Design and Representation of Suboptimum Methods for Radar Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) Techniques Using a Canonical Framework

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract — Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is a technique used by moving radars to detect slow moving targets. The goal is to reject interference and noise. However, rejection requires a great number of training samples and a large computational cost. To keep the task manageable, suboptimum STAP methods (SOMs) have been proposed by several authors. We have developed a framework to encompass all these methods in a canonical structure. In the appendices, some famous SOMs will be described using the canonical framework. The canonical framework can also be seen as a tool that can be used to design new techniques. This paper is a guideline for designing suboptimum STAP techniques using the framework. Choices that designers have to make are presented in regard with the impact of these choices. Index Terms — radar, space-time adaptive processing (STAP), suboptimum processing, framework. I.
A conceptual model for understanding vulnerability in the context of migration

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The notion of ‘vulnerability’ is as popular as it is fuzzy. Its increased prominence in social research and in political and humanitarian discourses on migration has led many scholars and practitioners to treat the concept as self-explanatory, without problematizing neither its conceptualization nor its use and possible negative societal and psychological consequences. Set within the framework of the EU-funded project MIMY (n°870700), investigating the processes of integration of young migrants in 9 European countries, this paper critically evaluates different conceptualizations and uses of vulnerability and proposes a new multilevel conceptual model for understanding vulnerability in the context of migration. Focusing on different levels of analysis, the model situates individuals and groups in the broader socio-political hierarchies and power dynamics that inevitably affect them (structural vulnerability), acknowledges how these systems are (re)produced in situated interpersonal relationships (situational vulnerability) and accounts for migrants’ biographical and psychological experiences of vulnerability. Focusing on the interrelationships between levels of analysis, the model highlights how macro conditions and definitions of vulnerability may affect individual experiences, through processes such as stigmatization, internalization of stereotypes, disempowerment, but also how individuals can actively negotiate their ascribed ‘vulnerability’ through processes such as resistance, mobilization and collective action.

Fast Re-Association Scheme in Beacon-Enabled Wireless Sensor Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Zigbee has been considered as a promising standard for wireless sensor networks. There are two recovery mechanisms when node is orphaned. Although an orphan realignment mechanism is provided in Zigbee, it is only suitable for orphaned node associating with the coordinator which has 64-bit physical address of the orphaned node, and not suitable for beacon enabled network. And the re-association mechanism is time consuming because there is a long delay for channel scan before association. In this paper, we propose a fast re-association scheme for beacon enabled network based on Zigbee, in which the passive channel scan is not needed before association. Orphaned node selects the coordinator which has the highest estimation value. Because the channel scan is not needed, the re-association delay could be reduced greatly.
Inhibitor of Apoptosis ( IAP ) and BIR ‐containing Proteins

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

Abstract The inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family of proteins are characterized by presence of one or more baculoviral IAP Repeat (BIR) domains, so they are also termed BIRCs, for ‘BIR‐containing’ proteins. The first IAPs were identified in insect‐attacking viruses, which use them to inhibit defensive apoptosis of the host cell. Subsequently, other BIR‐containing proteins have been found in organisms from yeasts to mammals. The human IAP XIAP can block apoptosis by directly inhibiting caspases, whereas cIAP1 and cIAP2 inhibit apoptosis by reducing caspase‐activating signals from tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily members. As the genes for some IAPs are amplified in cancers, they appear to be able to act as oncogenes. IAP‐antagonist compounds modelled on the IAP antagonist Smac/Diablo are being developed for the treatment of cancer, and are currently undergoing clinical trials. Key concepts All IAPs bear at least one BIR domain, but not all BIR‐containing proteins are inhibitors of apoptosis. XIAP can block apoptosis by directly inhibiting caspases, but cIAP1 and cIAP2 inhibit apoptosis by reducing caspase‐activating signals from TNF receptor superfamily members, and by promoting activation of canonical NFκB pathways rather than noncanonical NFκB pathways. Genes for some IAPs are amplified in cancers, and IAP‐antagonist compounds modelled on the IAP antagonist Smac/Diablo are being developed for the treatment of cancer. Survivin and BRUCE are not apoptosis inhibitors, but are needed for cell division.

Atomic parity violation in a single trapped radium ion

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Atomic parity violation (APV) experiments are sensitive probes of the electroweak interaction at low energy. These experiments are competitive with and complementary to high-energy collider experiments. The APV signal is strongly enhanced in heavy atoms and it is measurable by exciting suppressed (M1, E2) transitions. The status of APV experiments and theory are reviewed as well as the prospects of an APV experiment using one single trapped Ra+ ion. The predicted enhancement factor of the APV effect in Ra+ is about 50 times larger than in Cs atoms. However, certain spectroscopic information on Ra+ needed to constrain the required atomic many-body theory, was lacking. Using the AGOR cyclotron and the TRIμP facility at KVI in Groningen, short-lived 212 - 214Ra+ ions were produced and trapped. First ever excited-state laser spectroscopy was performed on the trapped ions. These measurements provide a benchmark for the atomic theory required to extract the electroweak mixing angle to sub-1% accuracy and are an important step towards an APV experiment in a single trapped Ra+ ion.
Briquetting Pressure Roles in Selective Reduction Process of Limonitic Nickel Laterite

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Direct reduction is one of the methods used in nickel extraction from limonitic nickel laterite. Briquettes become an essential part of the direct reduction. This research examines the appropriate com-paction pressure of briquettes to achieve the optimum concentration, recovery of Ni and Fe, and selectivity factors also analyze the com-pounds formed. The briquettes were made at a pressure of 20 Kgf/cm 2 , 30 Kgf/cm 2 , 40 Kgf/cm 2 , and 50 Kgf/cm 2 . This study was performed out by mixing the prepared materials and then compact-ing them to form briquettes. Then, it was put into a crucible, and the coal-limestone bed mixture is added and put into the muffle fur-nace. Then, the direct reduction was started by heating at 700°C for 2 hours and continued at 1400°C for 6 hours. Next, it was continued with magnetic separation and weighing of the reduction products. The products were tested with SEM-EDX to determine the content. The products were tested with XRD to determine the compounds formed. The optimal results were obtained at variations of 30 Kgf/cm 2 with a Ni content of 5.00% and Recovery of 86.76%.
Analysis of compliant mechanisms with lumped compliance

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Compliant mechanism is a new concept in Precision Engineering that is growing ever more popular due to the unique advantages that it possesses. However, there is no systematic and established synthesis methodology available for the designing of compliant mechanisms. In this study, a simplified analysis method, known as the Linear scheme, for determining the displacement characteristics of a compliant mechanism was introduced. It was found that the linear scheme results when compared to those obtained from the finite element analysis using ANSYS show a maximum difference of 2% only while the time spent on the analysis by the linear scheme was significantly reduced.
Variability of ChlorophyllaConcentration and Halocline Depth in La Paz Bay (Gulf of California, Mexico) and the Relationship to Pacific Large-Scale Climatic Phenomena

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Guevara-Guillén, C.; Shirasago-Germán, B.; Pérez-Lezama, E.L., and Obeso-Nieblas, M., 2018. Variability of chlorophyll a concentration and Halocline depth in La Paz Bay (Gulf of California, Mexico) and the relationship to Pacific large-scale climatic phenomena.Variability of the chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentration and halocline depth in La Paz Bay were analyzed and compared against the variability of North Pacific (NP) large-scale phenomena and local winds during 1999–2009. Chl a data were obtained from satellite images, and halocline depth was obtained from in situ data. Eight large-scale phenomenon climate indices and satellite wind data were also used in this work. Chl a was processed on three timescales—interannual, mean annual cycle, and monthly time series. The halocline depth was processed as a time series. The Chl a interannual analysis revealed a high variability in the study period, with the highest concentration in 2001 and the lowest in 2005. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) was the dominant phenomenon in this timescale. The Chl a mean annual cycle showed two concentration periods, a higher one during December to March and lower one during April to November. The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and PDO were the most determinant phenomena in the mean annual cycle. The monthly time series also showed high variability with the highest anomalies during 2000–01 and the lowest anomalies in 2003 and 2005. The ENSO and PDO were the most influential phenomena on the monthly timescale. The halocline depth analysis revealed high and noncyclic variability, contrasting depths of 90 m during February 2002 and November 2005 with other sampling dates such as July 2001 and July 2002, when the halocline reached the surface. The NP and local winds were the main factors that influenced the halocline depth.
Employing a Modified Diffuser Momentum Model to Simulate Ventilation in the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to model the flow field in the Orion crew exploration vehicle (CEV) cabin. The CFD model employs a momentum model used to account for the effect of supply grilles on the supply flow. This model is modified to account for nonuniform velocity profiles at the approach of the supply grille. The modified momentum model is validated against a detailed vane-resolved model before inclusion in the Orion CEV cabin model. Results for this comparison, as well as that of a single-ventilation configuration, are presented.

‘It's Not Fair!’—Voicing Pupils’ Criticisms of School Rules

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Socialisation theories have traditionally focused on how children are socialised in a rather unidirectional manner, according to a transmission model. However, more recent research and theories show that children are not just passive recipients, but active agents in their socialisation process. At the same time, children are subordinated to adult control. In school, they are regimented and involuntarily subjected to mass routines, discipline and control. The aim of this study was to explore and give a voice to pupils’ critical thinking about school rules and their teachers’ behaviour in relation to these rules. Ethnographic fieldwork and group interviews with students were conducted in two Swedish primary schools. The findings show that pupils criticise some school rules, distrust teachers’ explanations of particular school rules, perceive some school rules and teachers’ interventions as unfair and inconsistent, perceive no power over the construction of school rules, and express false acceptance and hidden criticism. The findings are discussed in terms of hidden curriculum, power, mentality resistance, democracy, participation and democratic citizenship education.
Perceived Posttraumatic Growth and Depreciation after Spinal Cord Injury: Actual or Illusory?

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Objective: This study examined whether retrospective reports of posttraumatic growth (PTG) and depreciation (PTD) of individuals recently diagnosed with a spinal cord injury (SCI) coincide with prospectively measured changes in the conceptually close domains of general self-efficacy (SE) and purpose in life (PIL). The study also tested whether PTG/D and changes in SE and PIL independently predict psychological adjustment to the injury (depressive symptoms, anxiety, life satisfaction). Methods: Adopting a longitudinal design, a sample of 206 newly-injured patients admitted to one of the four Swiss SCI rehabilitation centers was analyzed. SE and PIL were assessed one month after injury diagnosis and at rehabilitation discharge, PTG/D and the adjustment indicators only at discharge. Structural equation modelling was used to calculate latent change scores for SE and PIL, to correlate these scores to PTG/D scores, and to regress the adjustment indicators on both of them. Results: PTG/D scores were weakly (rmax=.20, p=.033) correlated to changes in SE and PIL. In the multivariate analyses, positive changes in SE and PIL and PTG scores were all associated with better adjustment (e.g., fewer depressive symptoms). In contrast, PTD scores were related to lower adjustment. Conclusions: These results suggest that PTG/D in the initial time after a potentially traumatic medical event seem to be illusory to some degree, as indicated by their weak association with “actual” (i.e., longitudinally measured) changes. Nevertheless, both, PTG/D and actual changes, need to be considered by researchers and clinicians, as they seem to be independently related to psychological adjustment.
“This Isn’t Your Data, Friend”: Black Twitter as a Case Study on Research Ethics for Public Data

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

While research has been conducted with and in marginalized or vulnerable groups, explicit guidelines and best practices centering on specific communities are nascent. An excellent case study to engage within this aspect of research is Black Twitter. This research project considers the history of research with Black communities, combined with empirical work that explores how people who engage with Black Twitter think about research and researchers in order to suggest potential good practices and what researchers should know when studying Black Twitter or other digital traces from marginalized or vulnerable online communities. From our interviews, we gleaned that Black Twitter users feel differently about their content contributing to a research study depending on, for example, the type of content and the positionality of the researcher. Much of the advice participants shared for researchers involved an encouragement to cultivate cultural competency, get to know the community before researching it, and conduct research transparently. Aiming to improve the experience of research for both Black Twitter and researchers, this project is a stepping stone toward future work that further establishes and expands user perceptions of research ethics for online communities composed of vulnerable populations.
A study on the countersinking of aluminium sheet (1st Report)

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

When aluminium sheet is countersunk with a twist drill, it is well known that it is not easy to obtain a circular countersink but an odd numbered polygonal holes, such as the rounded triangular, pentagonal or heptagonal hole. It is due to so-called "the walking phenomenon of drill" which gets into trouble not to be neglected in practice from the viewpoint of machining accuracy, finished appearance and others.In this paper, the influence of chisel edge angle of drill on the geometry of countersink is examined and the drilling conditions to obtain the circular hole are searched in the case of countersinking sixsorts of aluminium sheets, e. g., 2S-H, 3S-H, 14S-O, 52S-H, 61S-H and G4-H.As the results, chisel edge angle was found to heve a large affect on increasing "the out of roundness". And the latter In the case of using high-tension hard alloy, such as, 52S-H and G4-H, the countersink is enarly circular and has smallusing roundness, even if the chisel edge angle is considerablly large (in this experiment, 140°), however, in the case of low-tension soft alloy, such as, 2S-H and 3S-H, the countersink has small out of roundness, unless the chisel edge angle is small (in this experiment, not more than 120°).This study was conducted uuder the partial financial support of the fund furnished by Scholarship Committee of the Institute of Light Metals for which we feel deeply grateful.
