5G New Radio for Public Safety Mission Critical Communications

Driven by increasing demands on connectivity to improve safety, situational awareness and operational effectiveness for first responders, more and more public safety agencies are realizing the need of modernization of their existing non-3GPP networks. 3GPP based cellular networks offer the unique opportunity of providing fast, reliable, and prioritized communications for first responders in a shared network. In this article, we give an overview of service requirements of public safety mission critical communications. We identify key technical challenges and explain how 5G NR features are being evolved to meet the emerging safety critical requirements, including enabling connectivity everywhere, supporting efficient group communications, prioritizing mission critical traffic, and providing accurate positioning for first responders.

A multicast-based cooperative communication method for platoon management (poster)

Driving with low-fuel consumption is a significant challenge for automobile society and cooperative platooning is one of the solutions. Thus, studies about platooning is widely discussed. Platooning vehicles are expected to drive short inter-vehicular distance in order to enhance the energy-saving effect. Hence, the vehicular communication is applied to support platooning. However, an existing unicast-based one-request/one-response communication is not reliable since the network traffic load is increased as the number of platoon vehicles increase. In this paper, we propose a multicast-based cooperative communication for platoon management. The method is intended for intra-platoon communication and realizes multicast, loss detection and cooperative retransmission. This scheme enables to reduce the amount of communication and improve reliability. We simulate and evaluate the proposed method and the results show that the method is efficient in terms of the delay, the success ratio and the network traffic load.

Revision of Icacinaceae from the Early Eocene London Clay flora based on X-ray micro-CT1

The Early Eocene (Ypresian) London Clay Formation contains one of the most important fruit and seed assemblages from the Paleogene, including a large diversity of taxa (&amp;gt;350 spp.) preserved as pyrite permineralizations retaining 3D structure as well as anatomical detail. Despite the importance of the flora for understanding angiosperm biogeographic and evolutionary history, the majority of the fossil material has not been revisited since the original taxonomic treatments by E.M. Reid and M.E.J. Chandler. Given subsequent advances in our understanding of angiosperm phylogeny and fruit morphology, coupled with technological advances in imaging/visualizing fossil material, many of the taxa represented in the flora deserve further study. Here we present a revision of the pantropical family Icacinaceae using X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) images of 21 species from the flora. Based on the results, four new combinations are made, a new fossil-genus is established for a distinctive species with affinities to the Phytocreneae, and emended diagnoses are provided for eight taxa. Of the seven genera recognized from the flora, only one, Iodes Blume, is extant. This study offers important insights on the biogeographic and evolutionary history of Icacinaceae, which is one of the most abundant and diverse components of the flora from the London Clay Formation.

Hyperprolactinemia Due to the Sulpiride Addition to Venlafaxine Treatment: A Case Report

Hyperprolactinemia, is the most common hypothalamo-hypopysial endocrine disorder. The most common etiologies are; hypophysis adenoma, chronic kidney failure and antiphyschotic drug use. Normal range of prolactin blood level is below 20–25 ng/ml. Antipsychotic drugs cause hyperprolactinemia by blocking the D2 dopamine receptors in the frontal lobe of the hypophysis. The most common symptoms of hyperprolactinemia due to antipsychotic drug use are: galactorrhea, menstrual cycle dysregulation, amenorrhea, decrease in libido, breast sensitivity, decrease in the bone mineral density. Therefore, it is important to diagnose galactorrhea as early as possible. As far as we know there is no reported cases of hyperprolactinemia induced galactorrhea due to very low dose (50 mg/day) sulpiride use. In this study, we report a case of galactorrhea due to hyperprolactinemia as a result of sulpiride 50 mg/daily drug addition to the venflaxine 150 mg/daily treatment in a depressive patient.

A new approach to the linear theory of single‐species tearing in two‐dimensional quasi‐neutral sheets

We have developed the linear theory of collisionless ion tearing in a two‐dimensional magnetotail equilibrium for a single resonant species. We have solved the normal mode problem for tearing instability by an algorithm that employs particle‐in‐cell simulation to calculate the orbit integrals in the Maxwell‐Vlasov eigenmode equation. The results of our single‐species tearing analysis can be applied to ion tearing where electron effects are not included. We have calculated the tearing growth rate as a function of the magnetic field component B n normal to the current sheet for thick and thin current sheets, and we show that marginal stability occurs when the normal gyrofrequency Ω n is comparable to the Harris neutral sheet growth rate. A cross‐tail B y component has little effect on the growth rate for B y ≃ B n . Even in the limit B y ≫ B n , the mode is strongly stabilized by B n . We report that random pitch angle scattering can overcome the stabilizing effect of B n and drive the growth rate up toward the Harris neutral sheet ( B n = 0) value when the pitch angle diffusion rate is comparable to Ω n .

Costs and benefits of mate choice in the lek-breeding reed frog,

Direct benefits to females of choosing mates have recently been suggested to play a role in the evolution of female preferences even in non-resource-based mating systems. Direct benefits affect the fecundity or survival of females whereas females gain indirectly from being choosy by passing on good genes to offspring or by producing sons that are themselves more attractive to females. I investigated two potential direct benefits that females gain from being choosy in the lek-breeding painted reed frog, Hyperolius marmoratus broadleyi: assurance of fertilization and reduction in search costs. Males did not differ in their fertilization rates, indicating that choosy females did not benefit by gaining higher rates of fertilization. However, costs of mate searching were high due to predation risk by brown water snakes, Lycodonomorphus rufulus, at the breeding site. Small natural choruses were monitored using an acoustic localization technique based on the measurement of arrival time differences of a male's signal at an array of microphones. Females preferred males that were near to their release site and that called at high rates. These preferences were corroborated experimentally in two-choice arena trials and are consistent with the notion that females should reduce search time under high predatory pressure. Because sampling costs are high, females are selected to reduce search time and males are predicted to call so that females can locate them easily. High sampling costs also make direct selection on female preferences a plausible solution to the lek paradox.

Impact of External Environment Factors on Human Resource Management Function, a Generic Model study with reference to Multi-National Companies in India

In this paper ,we explore models of  environmental analysis, organizational design and HR strategy. Thus the theme , is the interaction between human resource management (HRM), the environment and the organization (MNC in India) . The theoretical underpinning for this approach is the best-fit or contingency model of HR strategy, This model argues that there is no one model of HR strategy which suits all circumstances. Instead, different strategies are appropriate in different environmental and organizational settings. However we should bear  in mind that the best-fit model is not the only model of HR strategy. Other models include the best practice model, which argues that there is one approach to HR strategy; the high performance workplace model, which is suitable in nearly all organizational and environmental settings; and the resource-based model, which argues that resources, particularly human capital and core  competencies, are much more important for HR strategy than the environment.

SEASONAL AND DIURNAL TRENDS OF CHORUSING HUMPBACK WHALES WINTERING IN WATERS OFF WESTERN MAUI

A bstract A portable data logger controlled by a Tattletale 7 microcontroller was used to record humpback whale choruses during the 1998 humpback whale winter season in Hawaii. The data logger sampled the sounds for four minutes every half hour using a digitizing rate of 2 kHz, and the data were stored on a hard disk. The results between January and April showed a peak in the sound pressure level between mid‐February and mid‐March. This peak of approximately 120 dB re 1 μPa coincided with the peak in the number of whales sighted by aerial survey on 7 March 1998. The choruses had spectral peaks at 315 Hz and 630 Hz. Some of the sounds at 630 Hz were second harmonics of the 315 Hz peak and others were not. The data also indicated a diurnal pattern in the sound pressure level, with levels at night significantly louder than the daytime levels. The sound levels began to increase during sunset and remained relatively high until sunrise, when they progressively decreased to a minimum. The nighttime peak occurred within an hour before and after midnight, and the daytime minimum occurred between 1100 and 1500. That more humpback whales appear to sing at night may reflect a switch to sexual advertisement as the primary male mating strategy at this time. It may also indicate that daylight and vision play key roles in the formation of competitive groups. It is suggested that the relative number of humpback whales in a given locale may be estimated by monitoring changes in sound pressure levels.

Test eyes received a combination therapy (prednisolone acetate 1%, gatifloxacin 0.5%, and bromfenac sodium 0.075%) while control eyes received the same medications in separate drops (bromfenac sodium was 0.07%). Subjects were examined 1, 15 and 30 days after surgery. Visual acuities were measured, along with the refraction, intraocular pressure, patient pain and satisfaction, macular thickness and corneal pachymetry. The primary measure of interest was the change in macular thickness from baseline to the 15- and 30-day visits. The frequency and severity of reported ocular adverse events were tabulated for each group and compared.Results: Thirty-three subjects completed the study. Changes in central macular thickness were similar between groups, with only one control eye exhibiting significant macular edema. No differences in visual acuity, corneal edema, cells or flare were observed between groups. There were eight mild adverse events reported for all eyes of all subjects; the difference in the number of eyes experiencing adverse events was not statistically significantly different between groups (p &ge; 0.05 for all comparisons). While subjective symptoms were similar, all subjects indicated that they preferred the combination drop.Conclusion: A combination drop showed similar efficacy to multiple drops and was overwhelmingly preferred by subjects.Keywords: bromfenac sodium, gatifloxacin, prednisolone acetate, combination drop

Toward a Detailed Description of the Pathways of Allosteric Communication in the GroEL Chaperonin through Atomistic Simulation

GroEL, along with its coprotein GroES, is essential for ensuring the correct folding of unfolded or newly synthesized proteins in bacteria. GroEL is a complex, allosteric molecule, composed of two heptameric rings stacked back to back, that undergoes large structural changes during its reaction cycle. These structural changes are driven by the cooperative binding and subsequent hydrolysis of ATP, by GroEL. Despite numerous previous studies, the precise mechanisms of allosteric communication and the associated structural changes remain elusive. In this paper, we describe a series of all-atom, unbiased, molecular dynamics simulations over relatively long (50-100 ns) time scales of a single, isolated GroEL subunit and also a heptameric GroEL ring, in the presence and absence of ATP. Combined with results from a distance restraint-biased simulation of the single ring, the atomistic details of the earliest stages of ATP-driven structural changes within this complex molecule are illuminated. Our results are in broad agreement with previous modeling studies of isolated subunits and with a coarse-grained, forcing simulation of the single ring. These are the first reported all-atom simulations of the GroEL single-ring complex and provide a unique insight into the role of charged residues K80, K277, R284, R285, and E388 at the subunit interface in transmission of the allosteric signal. These simulations also demonstrate the feasibility of performing all-atom simulations of very large systems on sufficiently long time scales on typical high performance computing facilities to show the origins of the earliest events in biologically relevant processes.

A Sandwich-Structured Piezoresistive Sensor with Electrospun Nanofiber Mats as Supporting, Sensing, and Packaging Layers

Electrospun nanofiber mats have been used as sensing elements to construct piezoresistive devices due to their large surface area and high porosity. However, they have not been utilized as skin-contact supporting layers to package conductive nanofiber networks for the fabrication of piezoresistive sensors. In this work, we developed a sandwich-structured pressure sensor, which can sensitively monitor human motions and vital signs, with electrospun nanofiber mats as supporting, sensing, and packaging layers. The nanofiber mats were prepared by electrospinning with biocompatible poly (l-lactide) (PLA), silk fibroin (SF), and collagen (COL) as raw materials. The synthesized PLA–SF–COL mat possesses a non-woven structure with a fiber diameter of 122 ± 28 nm and a film thickness of 37 ± 5.3 μm. Polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles were grown in-situ on the mat to form a conductive layer. After stacking the pristine and conductive mats to form a PLA–SF–COL mat/(PPy-coated mat)2 structure, another layer was electrospun to pack the multilayers for the construction of a sandwich-structured piezoresistive sensor. The as-prepared device can sensitively detect external pressures caused by coin loading and finger tapping/pressing. It can also tolerate more than 600 times of pressing without affecting its sensing capability. The human body-attached experiments further demonstrate that the sensor could real-time monitor finger/arm bending, arterial pulse, respiration rate, and speaking-caused throat vibration. The electrospinning-based fabrication may be used as a facile and low-cost strategy to produce flexible piezoresistive sensors with excellent skin-compatibility and great pressure sensing capability.

EAPH-04. SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY OF CONCOMITANT MULTI-AGENT INTRA-VENTRICULAR CHEMOTHERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF RECURRENT CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) TUMORS

BACKGROUND: The safety of intra-ventricular or intrathecal monotherapy with topotecan, thiotepa and etoposide has previously been demonstrated in several publications. To our knowledge, the utility of the combination topotecan, thiotepa and etoposide through an intraventricular reservoir as a treatment strategy has never been documented. DESIGN: We describe 8 patients who underwent multi-agent intra-ventricular chemotherapy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital with topotecan, thiotepa and etoposide. The pathological diagnoses included 3 children with medulloblastoma, 2 with ependymoma (1 child, 1 adult), 1 child with AT/RT (atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor) and 2 children with atypical malignant tumors with neuraxis dissemination. All intra-ventricular chemotherapy was administered in the setting of relapsed disease concomitant with other forms of systemic chemotherapy. RESULTS: Patients received intra-ventricular chemotherapy from 2 to 84 weeks (median: 8.5 weeks). Four patients died of progressive disease. Of the 4 living patients, one continues on therapy nearly two years from initiation (ependymoma), one has progressive disease (fibromyxoid sarcoma), one has stable disease (primitive neuroepithelial tumor) and one (medulloblastoma) is proceeding to transplant in a minimal disease state. Although we do report several children with myelosuppression, this was in the setting of heavily pre-treated and concurrently-treated patients. Furthermore, we report no headaches, seizures, other neurological toxicities, bleeding or infections from this treatment strategy. CONCLUSIONS: We have documented the safety and tolerability of multi-agent intra-ventricular chemotherapy, which can be performed quickly and effectively in the ambulatory clinic. The utilization of multi-agent intra-ventricular chemotherapy could provide an alternative treatment regimen, in combination, for patients with relapsed disease.
