Evaluation of a Capillary Electrophoresis Method for Routine Determination of Hemoglobins A2 and F

Abstract Hemoglobin A2 (Hb A2) and hemoglobin F (Hb F) are important analytes in the diagnosis and follow up of Hb diseases. We evaluated a new capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) kit for Hb A2 and Hb F measurements. The imprecision ranged from 3% to 6% for Hb A2 and Hb F at physiological and pathological concentrations. The method compared well with cation-exchange HPLC for Hb A2 and Hb F and with anion-exchange chromatography in microcolumns (MAEC), for Hb A2. Nevertheless, higher results were obtained [Hb A2 CZE (%) = 1.233 Hb A2 HPLC − 0.2; Hb A2 CZE (%) = 1.190 Hb A2 MAEC + 0.1; Hb FCZE (%) = 1.118 Hb FHPLC + 0.4], and new reference values had to be determined (Hb A2 2.7–3.8%; Hb F &amp;lt;1.2%). Quantification of Hb A2 was not influenced by Hb S. Measurement of Hb F was accurate and precise except at low concentrations in Hb AS patients. This new CZE kit is rapid, precise, and reliable, and seems appropriate for use in clinical laboratories.

Plasticization of amorphous perfluoropolymers

Abstract Poly(perfluoro‐4‐vinyloxy‐1‐butene), which is also known as Cytop, and poly[4,5‐difluoro‐2,2‐bis(trifluoromethyl)‐1,3‐dioxole]‐ co ‐poly(tetrafluoroethylene) copolymers with dioxole monomer contents of 65% or 87% (known as Teflon AF1600 and Teflon AF2400, respectively) were plasticized with four fluorous compounds. While plasticization of all polymers with perfluoroperhydrophenanthrene, perfluoro(1‐methyldecalin), a perfluorotetraether with three trifluoromethyl side groups and one hydrogen atom, and a linear perfluorooligoether with an average of 14.3 ether groups per molecule was successful, these four plasticizers affected the 12 blends very differently. A threshold of plasticization beyond which further increases in the plasticizer volume fraction did not further affect the glass transition temperature, T g , was observed for some blends. Also, the limit of miscibility ranged from as low as 20% plasticizer content to complete miscibility at all volume fractions. The blends of Teflon AF2400 or Teflon AF1600 with high contents of the oligoether provided T g values as low as −114 °C, lower than for any other fully miscible blend. The occurrence of two glass transitions in an intermediate range of plasticizer volume ratios for these two types of blends can be explained by distinct local environments rather than macroscopic phase separation, as anticipated by the Lodge‐McLeish model. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cultural and dynamic capabilities factors facilitating digital transformation of healthcare services

Background Digital transformation of healthcare services was slow until the COVID-19 pandemic, however, global lockdown urged healthcare providers to accelerate the utilisation of advanced technologies in healthcare services. While the researchers focused on the role of technologies, the role of culture as an antecedent of dynamic capabilities responsible for digitalisation of the services, was undermined. Purpose The purpose of the paper is to explore the cultural and dynamic capabilities factors facilitating the digital transformation of healthcare services across three different countries. Methodology/Approach The exploratory multiple case study research design was applied, and data collected in Lithuania, the United States, and Spain. The multiple case study is based on 63 interviews of healthcare providers, start-ups, patients and secondary data analysis across three countries. Results Comparative analysis of the cultural dimensions, dynamic capabilities and performance of the digital healthcare services in Lithuania, California (United States), and Catalonia (Spain) shows that there is a tendency for strong dynamic capabilities to stimulate the more advanced performance of digital healthcare services. In addition, the manifestation of certain cultural dimensions, such as high masculinity and indulgency, might contribute to fostering dynamic capabilities. Conclusion Cultural context matters for developing strong dynamic capabilities in healthcare providers and, in turn, more advanced performance of digital healthcare services. Practice implications In order to accelerate the performance of digital healthcare services, healthcare providers are recommended to enhance dynamic capabilities, paying attention to the specifics of the national cultural dimensions.

Antibiofilm Activity of Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Extracts In Vitro and Food Model

The present study aims at investigating the antibiofilm activity of two various ginger (Zingiber officinale) extracts in comparison to peracetic acid in broth culture and food model against pathogenic bacteria. The GC-MS analysis proved that the major components in the subcritical water extract of ginger were Zingerone (28.99%) and cis-6-shogaol (22.1%), while in the aqueous-ethanolic extract was Gingerol (28.404%) and Zingiberene (11.954%). According to the results, ginger subcritical water extract in a concentration of 50% (V/V) had the highest antibiofilm activity, and no significant difference was observed with peracetic acid (0.5%). However, similar results were obtained regarding the antibiofilm activity of the ginger extracts in both environments (broth culture and fish extract as a food model). The gram-positive B.subtilis bacterium was more susceptible to ginger extracts than the gram-negative P.aeruginosabacterium. In conclusion, ginger subcritical water extract could be recommended as a natural and safe antimicrobial compound with antibiofilm potential in the food industry.

Hindi transliteration and translation of sanskrit-old javanese texts:an attempt to introduce indian cultural influences abroad to native India

Strong imprints of Indian culture in various forms or modes of expressions are significantly found in Java. Sanskrit-Old Javanese texts, amongst those texts and traditions, were produced in the island in the periods between 9th to 15th cen. A.D. It covers various genres and subjects enriching indigenous culture in the archipelago. Tutur or tattva texts were one genre of them recorded the dynamic of Javanese intellectuals or poet-sages in pursuing the truth; they reveal metaphysical or theological aspects of Brahmanism, Saivism, Buddhism, Tantrism, Samkhya, Yoga, etc. This paper attempts to study ideas behind the Hindi transliteration and translation of those texts. This is a library reserach, the data were collected from Hindi translation of those texts. This attempt is of high scientific and cultural values as Indian scholars paid attention to Indian culture spreading in foreign lands. With this attempt Indian intellectuals/scholars/students got acquainted with their own culture flourished outside India in different forms, since the works were written and produced in Devanagari script and Hindi language. It creates nuances of being Indian. It can widen their understanding on philosophical point of view, religious elements, and culture of Java, that unity in diversity does not only exist in native land but also abroad.

Effects of ageing on the electrical characteristics of Zn/ZnS/n-GaAs/In structure

Zn/ZnS/n-GaAs/In structure has been fabricated by the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method and the influence of the time dependent or ageing on the characteristic parameters are examined. The current-voltage (I-V) of the structure have been measured immediately, 1, 3, 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150 and 165 days after fabrication of this structure. The characteristics parameters of this structure such as barrier height, ideality factor, series resistance are calculated from the I-V measurements. It has been seen that the changes of characteristic parameters such as barrier height, ideality factor and series resistance of Zn/ZnS/n-GaAs/In structure have lightly changed with increasing ageing time.

Determination of the AuCu Superlattice Formation Region in Gold-Copper-Silver Ternary System

The composition and temperature range of the AuCu-type superlattice formation in the Au-Cu-Ag ternary system was determined by X-ray powder diffraction. Four distinguishable phase transformations were detected, i.e., 1) α (disordered FCC phase) → AuCu I, 2) α → AuCu II, 3) α → α 1 (Cu-rich FCC phase) + α 2 (Ag-rich FCC phase), and 4) α → AuCu3. The stable temperature range of the AuCu I-type superlattice was restricted to a lower temperature range by adding silver to stoichiometric and off-stoichiometric Au-Cu alloys. Depending on the increase in silver content, the co-existing region of the AuCu II-type superlattice and the silver-rich α 2 phase extended to the lower temperature and over a wide composition range.

Shifts in surface microbiota after cleaning and disinfection in broiler processing plants: incomplete biofilm eradication revealed by robotic high-throughput screening

ABSTRACT Broiler processing environments are a source of spoilage bacteria and potential pathogens. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of cleaning and disinfection (C&amp;D) on bacterial load and diversity in two broiler processing plants and to determine the efficacy of industry-standard disinfectants (DIs). C&amp;D significantly reduced average bacterial loads on surfaces from 3.7 to 1.8 log CFU/cm 2 in Plant A and from 7.0 to 3.8 log CFU/cm 2 in Plant B ( P &lt; 0.001). Metataxonomics revealed that Acinetobacter and an unknown Enterobacteriaceae genus dominated before C&amp;D in Plants A and B, respectively, while Pseudomonas was predominant after C&amp;D in both plants. Bacterial diversity only declined significantly after C&amp;D in Plant B. Bacterial loads also declined across hygienic zones along the broiler processing line in Plant A. During slaughter, Staphylococcus , Lactobacillus , and Anoxybacillus dominated, and bacterial loads were significantly higher compared with post-slaughter zones, which were dominated by Pseudomonas . Culture-dependent analyses confirmed the presence of Pseudomonas spp. and also bacteria affecting food safety, including Listeria monocytogenes , Escherichia coli , Yersinia enterocolitica , Acinetobacter baumannii , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . A selection of these was tested against DIs using robotic high-throughput screening. At the recommended user concentrations, DIs effectively inhibited planktonic bacteria and significantly reduced mono-species biofilms. However, none of the DIs completely eradicated all biofilms at these concentrations, with survival rates ranging from 7% to 53%, depending on the DI. In conclusion, C&amp;D effectively reduces the bacterial burden and reshapes the bacterial microbiota with incomplete biofilm eradication by commercial DIs. IMPORTANCE Broiler meat continues to be involved in bacterial disease outbreaks. The surface microbiota in broiler processing environments can be a source of contaminating bacteria. Our study highlights the importance of effective C&amp;D routines since potential pathogens and spoilage bacteria are found in these environments. Furthermore, the study provides evidence of biofilms surviving high concentrations of industry-standard DIs. This emphasizes the importance of additional measures to facilitate biofilm removal, such as mechanical cleaning, but also suggests that there is a need for DIs with stronger biofilm eradication capabilities. Ultimately, it is important to understand and continuously improve the state of hygiene in broiler processing plants to mitigate the risk of foodborne disease outbreaks.

Tracking citations to research software via PIDs

Tracking citations to research software via persistent identifiers is difficult due to dilution of citations over many PIDs assigned to a software package. On top of this, software citations are often consistently being edited out by every actor part of the scholarly communication process such as reference managers, publishers, professors and discovery systems. Thus, the survival rate of a software citation is extremely low in the current scholarly ecosystem. The Sloan-funded Asclepias project is a collaboration between a publisher, discovery system and repository with the goal to promote scientific software into an identifiable, citable, and preservable object. We have built a citation broker that is currently tracking some 6.000 citations to Zenodo DOIs from NASA ADS, CrossRef and EuropePMC.

Initial Experience to Follow Lung Fluid Levels during Hemodialysis: A Possibility of Remote Dielectric Sensing-Guided Hemodialysis

Remote dielectric sensing (ReDSTM) is a novel technology that noninvasively quantifies lung fluid levels. Trends in ReDS values following hemodialysis remain uninvestigated. In a 64-year-old man with clinically stable hemodynamics, 2.7 L of fluid was drained during hemodialysis whereas the ReDS value remained almost unchanged (from 32 to 30%). In a 60-year-old woman with unstable hemodynamics, only 1.8 L of fluid was drained during hemodialysis, whereas ReDS value decreased considerably from 37 to 27%. Given our initial experience measuring ReDS values during hemodialysis, the ratio of fluid removal by hemodialysis between systemic plasma and lung fluid might vary in each patient. ReDS value might be a promising marker to determine the degree of fluid removal in addition to the conventional multidisciplinary index, particularly for those with unstable hemodynamics. The implications of ReDS-guided hemodialysis remain a future concern.

Two-color optical charge-coupled-device–based pyrometer using a two-peak filter

A two-color optical charge-coupled-device (CCD)–based pyrometer was developed using a multipeak interference filter with a color CCD sensor to measure multicolor signals with specified wavelengths. The effective and simple method adjusts the fixed spectrum response characteristics of a color CCD to allow improved temperature measurements. This pyrometer system not only has the advantage of traditional two-color (two-wavelength) pyrometry, but also overcomes the restrictions of color CCDs that can only be applied in waveband measurements. The measurement performance of the system using a two-peak filter \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\begin{document}$(\lambda _1 = 643\,{\rm nm,}\;\lambda _2 = 564\,{\rm nm})$\end{document}(λ1=643 nm ,λ2=564 nm ) was evaluated by blackbody experiments. The results show that the low temperature detection limit is increased about 200 K with an increase in the sensitivity of the measured signals compared with the original system without two-peak filter [Fu, et al., Opt. Laser Technol. 42, 586 (2010)]. And the effective temperature range is also increased when T &amp;gt; 1233 K. The measured ratio \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\begin{document}$C_{\rm R} /C_{\rm G} $\end{document}CR/CG is monotonically relative to the temperature, which simplifies the measurements. The temperature sensitivity of 2.49 is larger and more uniform than the temperature sensitivity of 1.36 in the previous original system. Thus, the measurement performance of the new system is greatly improved. Finally, as an application, the surface temperature distribution of stainless steel sample in hot environments was determined by this new CCD-based pyrometer. The results agree well with the spectrometer-based results and further verify the applicability of the new system.
