[Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD): an alternative for the treatment of children with terminal chronic renal insufficiency in Argentina].

Twenty three children aged 0.4 to 15 years, (x 7.5 years) with end-stage renal disease were treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) over 46 months. The mean time of treatment for the group was 13 months (range 1.0 to 31 months). Sixty five percent of the patients had readmission after catheter placement; 53% were for peritonitis. Nine out of 23 patients (39%), presented 20 episodes of peritonitis, an incidence of one episode per 15 patient months. Gram positive organisms were culture in 60% of these episodes. A total of 26 peritoneal catheters were placed in 23 patients. Of the five catheters that required replacement, three were for peritonitis. Seven out of 23 patients had nephrotic syndrome when admitted to CAPD, four of which develop peritonitis. Although no difference was seen between nephrotic and non nephrotic patients in relation to CAPD initiation and peritonitis development, nephrotic patients without peritonitis and non nephrotic had significantly higher initial growth index for height and iron binding capacity than those with nephrotic syndrome and peritonitis (-1.71 +/- 0.90 vs -2.29 +/- 0.27, P less than 0.05, and 265 +/- 50.5 vs 175 +/- 5.0 mg/dL, P less than 0.0005, respectively). No difference in mean plasma gamma globulin concentration was seen between patients with and without peritonitis. In 14 patients followed for a period greater than to 6 months, the delta growth index for weight and height and was: -0.13 +/- 0.31 and -0.31 +/- 0.46, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Review of Continuous Fermentative Hydrogen-Producing Bioreactors from Complex Wastewater

In recent years, the production of hydrogen through dark fermentation has become increasingly popular because it is a sustainable approach to produce clean energy. Thus, an evaluation of studies reported on hydrogen production from different complex wastewaters will be of immense importance in economizing production technologies. This work presents a review of the advances in the bioreactor and bioprocess design for biohydrogen production from different complex wastewaters. The biohydrogen production is discussed emphasizing the production metabolic pathways, bioreactor configuration and operation, organic loading rate (OLR), pretreatment of wastewater, as well as microbial diversity. Also, in this review, various bioreactor configurations and performance parameters including H2 yield (HY) and hydrogen production rate (HPR) are evaluated and presented. The work concludes with challenges and prospects of biohydrogen production and claims for more systematic and comprehensive studies on the subject.

Tangled Myths and Moral Networks: Pacific Comparanda and the Samothracian Sea

Abstract Political and spiritual ecologies provide a framework for comparative analysis between the Melanesian kula and the civic and ritual institutions around the mystery cult of the Great Gods of Samothrace. These ecologies recognize the role of cosmology and cultural narrative in organizing social behavior into resilient responses that enable social and economic needs. This study utilizes three categories F. H. Damon has established for exploring the kula: collective thinking, social organizations, and the coupling of nature and culture in complex adaptive systems. Both Greek and Melanesian systems are characterized by asymmetrical exchange, a role for prominent families, identity, trust, and emotional intensity. Analogies at the cosmological level, legible in three Samothracian myths, suggest that the Greek systems rendered the natural world a model of the moral forces stipulated by proxenia grants that mitigated the anthropogenic risks of maritime travel, making myth as critical as civic institutions in realizing maritime safety.

Tuition Rich, Mission Poor: Nonresident Enrollment Growth and the Socioeconomic and Racial Composition of Public Research Universities

Many public research universities fail to enroll a critical mass of low-income and under-represented minority (URM) students. Though founded with a commitment to access, public research universities face pressure to increase tuition revenue and to recruit high-achieving students. These pressures create an incentive to recruit nonresident students, who tend to pay more tuition and score higher on admissions exams, but who also tend to be richer and are less likely be Black or Latino. This paper examines whether the growing share of nonresident students was associated with a declining share of low-income and URM students at public research universities. Institution-level panel models revealed that growth in the proportion of nonresident students was associated with a decline in the proportion of low-income students. This negative relationship was stronger at prestigious universities and at universities in high-poverty states. Growth in the proportion of nonresident students was also associated with a decline in the proportion of URM students. This negative relationship was stronger at prestigious universities, universities in states with large minority populations, and universities in states with affirmative action bans. These findings yield insights about the changing character of public research universities and have implications for the campus climate experienced by low-income and URM students.

Adaptability of three newly introduced apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars to Egyptian conditions

An experiment was conducted in 2013 and 2014 with three newly introduced cultivars of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.), namely “Antonio Errani”, “Tirynthos” and “Ninfa” to study their performance and adaptability under Egyptian conditions. Results indicated that calculating the chilling hours temperature at or below 15°C was more suitable than temperatures at or below 7.2°C and 10°C. The cultivar with a low chilling requirement started with the opening of vegetative and flower buds earlier when compared to other cultivars. Furthermore, the cultivar Ninfa required less heat units as compared to the other two cultivars. Thus, the accumulated growing degree-days (GDDs) from the time of the flower bud break l until fruit maturity was low in early matured Ninfa cultivar. However, Antonio Errani and Tirynthos cultivars were late in the date of fruit ripening. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the opening percentage of vegetative and flower buds, trunk circumference, fruit drop, fruit number and yield weight among cultivars during the two seasons. Conversely, the leaf drop of Antonio Errani cultivar was earlier while Ninfa cultivar started it’s leaf drop later in the two seasons. Tirynthos gave the highest fruit weight, fruit size and fruit surface lightness. Meanwhile, the Antonio Errani cultivar was the highest in fruit firmness and total soluble solids. The appearance and behavior of cultivars under the study varied from one season to another with shoot length, leaf area, percentage of fruit set and acidity. It can be recommended from the present study that, Antonio Errani, Tirynthos and Ninfa cultivars are well adapted under Egyptian conditions. Further, fruits from the cultivars mature early and late in the season and can fulfill the demands of the market.

High prevalence of red blood cell alloantibodies in patients with inflammatory bowel disease - a prospective study

Background and aim: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with chronic anemia which, upon disease exacerbation or intestinal surgery, may necessitate allogenic blood transfusion (ABT). However, ABT and pregnancy may induce red blood cell alloantibodies (RBCA), with the potential to complicating further ABTs and pregnancies. Recent evidence suggests that inflammation may escalate RBCA formation; therefore, the prevalence and clinical modulators of RBCA acquisition were studied in IBD patients.

Post-Panamax Container Ship Access at Port of Miami

In 2002, the Port of Miami-Dade requested that CH2M HILL assess Maersk S-Class container ship transit and mooring guidelines for the Port of Miami-Dade Capital Improvement Program. The S-Class vessels, with a reported container capacity of 6,600 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), have a length of 347.0 m, a beam of 42.8 m (post-panamax), and a maximum draft of 14.5 m. To date, the Maersk Sealand Atlantic Class vessel is the largest container vessel to operate at the Port of Miami, with a length of 290.0 m, a beam of 32.3 m (panamax), a draft of 10.7 m, and a capacity of 4,400 TEUs. The assessment involved two phases of work. The first phase required a real-time ship navigation simulation study at the RTM STAR Center in Dania Beach, Florida. The second phase utilized information obtained in the simulation study to evaluate passing S-Class ship effects on a moored S-Class container ship at the east container berths. This paper discusses the performance and results of the STAR Center's operational evaluation of container vessels relative to safety of navigation issues and summarizes the significant passing ship effects on moored vessels. Based on the prevailing environmental conditions of wind and current in Fisherman's Channel, passing ship forces on a moored vessel are compared with environmental forces on the moored vessel. General S-Class vessel transit and mooring guidelines that support the safety of navigation and moored vessels at the Port of Miami-Dade are presented.

Overcoming the challenges in K-12 STEM education

New studies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have investigated the factors why students do or do not appreciate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses. Many indicators point mainly to the effectiveness, or ineffectiveness, of teachers. The main purpose of this paper is to identify significant factors that affect teachers' effectiveness. This is done through an analysis of the results of a twenty-four-question survey, developed by the authors, given to 200 STEM teachers, from Kindergarten to Grade 12, in public and private schools across the country. A literature review consisting of comparable studies in other countries served as a backdrop to the many trends discovered in the analysis of teachers' responses. Furthermore, the authors provide additional critical interpretations to address the unique nature of the findings in the UAE educational system. Overall, the findings point to the dire need to address teachers' dissatisfaction with the teaching profession in the UAE. Specifically, addressing monetary compensation, improving the curricula, lack of resources and providing professional guidance via development courses and seminars are necessary if teachers are to be more effective in the classroom. The paper also provides recommendations that can improve the current conditions, not only in the UAE, but also in other regions of the world being affected by the same.

Staged fault at Denver International Airport

Electric utilities occasionally conduct staged faults to test transmission and substation circuit breakers and relay protection schemes. This paper discusses a staged fault test conducted on a 25kV distribution system at Denver International Airport (DIA) to test sophisticated fault detection hardware and software in distribution automation field equipment. In 1993 and the first part of 1994, supervisory controlled 25kV switch cabinets were installed along key distribution feeder tie points at DIA. The supervisory switch cabinets monitor and report voltage, current, switch status, etc. and provide remote and local fault indication utilizing digital signal processing. The switch cabinets are monitored and controlled by Public Service Company of Colorado`s (PSCo) energy management and SCADA system. On July 29, 1994, PSCo conducted two staged faults to test the fault indication software and hardware as part of the complete system. This paper will illustrate why and how these two faults were initiated. It will also reveal the preparation required to stage the faults, the expected results, the actual results, conclusions, and solutions to problems found.

Design Strategies for the Eternal Reoccurrence of the New

In response to increasing resource pressures and environmental degradation in relation to the fashion industry, the body of academic work on extending garment lifetimes is growing steadily. Yet there is a lack of knowledge regarding how design strategies for longevity play out in practice. This research aims to bridge that gap by drawing on both theoretical knowledge and empirical data from three case studies conducted in UK-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Each case study comprised in-depth interviews and visual observations. The results reveal that a range of design strategies for extended garment lifetimes are evident in practice, as garments are inspired by deep-rooted personal interests rather than fleeting trends; silhouettes are honed and evolve slowly over time; and removable modular elements creating updateable pieces and eternally mendable clothing are found. Furthermore, the longevity of a garment is influenced by a complex interplay between the material objects themselves, cultural norms and individual behavior. By focusing on small innovative labels that may be described as exemplars, simultaneously challenging and shaping the future of fashion, this study contributes to knowledge by describing fashion design strategies for sustainability. Greater clarity in relation to sustainable practices is also provided for industry.

Alternative technologies and coatings for electroplated cadmium and hard chromium

Electroplated cadmium and hard chromium have been used extensively as protective coatings for the most demanding aerospace applications. Despite excellent technical performance and low deposition costs, these coatings are being phased out from industrial usage because of the serious health and environmental hazards they present. Cadmium is highly toxic in its metallic form, and the plating bath contains lethal cyanides. Thus, both the coating and the deposition process are potentially harmful. Chromium, while being completely benign in its metallic form, is usually deposited from highly toxic hexavalent chromium solutions that are targeted by strict environmental regulations. The regulatory limitations have increased the life-cycle cost of cadmium and hard chrome coatings and effectively prohibited their further usage. This tendency is especially evident in Europe, but it is also evident in the United States and Canada. General industry has been working under cadmium and hexavalent chromium bans for years while the aerospace and military have been exempt from the respective regulations. However, growing legislative pressure and logistic issues are forcing aerospace and military agencies to adapt to changing standards and to look for viable alternatives. The major challenge is to identify potential alternatives for hugely diversified applications previously served by just two materials. Recently, considerable progress in technical and legislative aspects has been observed, and this review provides some highlights of the major findings and new developments on both hard chromium and cadmium alternative materials and technologies.

Spatial variations in the character of off-the-books entrepreneurship: lessons from a study of contrasting districts in Moscow

Although there is growing recognition that many entrepreneurs start up trading partially or wholly off-the-books, few have evaluated whether the character of this hidden enterprise culture varies spatially. To begin to do so, this paper evaluates whether and how the nature of off-the-books entrepreneurship differs across an affluent, a mixed and a deprived district of Moscow. Drawing upon 313 face-to-face interviews, the finding is that wholly legitimate enterprises represent just the tip of the iceberg in Moscow. Beneath the surface in all the districts is a large hidden enterprise culture. However, off-the-books entrepreneurship in the affluent district is composed more of registered businesses trading partially off-the-books and conducted as a voluntarily chosen spin-off from their formal employment. In the deprived district, meanwhile, it is composed more of unregistered wholly off-the-books businesses and such entrepreneurship is largely a survival tactic and last resort. The paper concludes by discussing the theoretical and policy implications of these findings.

Spacetime evolution of lepton number densities and wave packet-like effects for neutrino flavor and chiral oscillations in quantum field theory

We present a formulation of lepton family numbers, based on quantum field theory, for neutrino oscillation phenomenology that can be applied to nonrelativistic and relativistic energies for neutrinos. It is formulated for both types of neutrinos, Dirac and Majorana. The formulation is constructed as the time evolution of a lepton family number density operator. Then, the time evolution of the lepton family number density operator becomes dependent on the mass and new features appear. The expectation value of the density operator is evaluated for the initial state with a Gaussian distribution for the momentum amplitude. This enables us to study wave packet-like decoherence effects. We show in the nonrelativistic regime, the type of neutrino mass are distinguishable even under the presence of wave packet-like decoherence effects.

CCWI2017: F87 'Infection Delay Time Analysis for Enhancing Water Networks Vulnerabilities to Contamination Intrusions'

In water distribution systems, the prediction of infection spread along the system's components is critical both for minimizing impact on the system population and for real-time response. Delaying the overall spread of an infection from a single or from multiple infection sources can be a very useful tool for handling such contamination scenarios. In this study, a new parameter for Infection Delay Time (IDT) is presented and the methodology utilizing it is presented on simple and complex networks, along with highlighting the IDT advantages and applications for system’s design and operation.

The Effects of Military Affiliation, Gender, and Political Ideology on Attitudes toward the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq

The United States armed-forces-and-society intersection is explored comparing attitudes toward the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan among West Point, Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), and civilian undergraduates. A survey was administered in January and February 2003 to determine if military affiliation is associated with attitudes toward sending troops into Afghanistan after the war started and Iraq before sending troops. Majorities of all students supported both war efforts, though United States Military Academy at West Point and ROTC cadets are somewhat more supportive of both wars compared to civilian students. However, most differences are explained by students’ gender and political affiliation, suggesting that differences between groups result from selection effects rather than cultural differences. The authors contend a fourth wave in civil-military affairs potentially has emerged in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 through a civil-military attitude fusion complicated by a gender-politics gap.
