162 HFREF WITH IMPROVED EJECTION FRACTION AFTER CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT (CABG) AND REVERSE REMODELING PREDICTOR FACTORS

Abstract Background The purpose of this study is [1] to evaluate the incidence of heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) in patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF, EF&amp;lt;40%) undergoing surgical myocardial revascularization via coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), [2] to identify predictor factors for improved ejection fraction and [3] to study overall survival between the two populations, i.e. patients with improved EF (i.e. impEF) versus patients with non-improved EF (i.e. non-impEF). Methods N=699 patients, admitted between January 2000 and December 2020, were selected from the Cardiac Surgery database of our facility and analyzed retrospectively. The selection criteria for this study were [1] having EF&amp;lt;40% at the time of surgery and [2] undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Patients were evaluated at preoperative baseline, immediate post-operative, 3-months follow up, 1-year follow-up and the last available follow-up. ImpEF was defined as EF&amp;gt;40% and at least 10% EF points improvement at 1-3 months follow-up. We assessed the incidence of improved Ejection Fraction (impEF) after surgical revascularization at 3-months follow-up, defined as the improvement of Ejection Fraction from a baseline LVEF of ≤40% to a new LVEF &amp;gt;40%, within a measurable improvement of ≥10 points of percentage from baseline EF; predictors of impEF were investigated and the association between impEF and mortality risk was finally explored. Results At 3-months follow-up, 221 patients were evaluated and the 42.5% (n=94) of these showed impEF. BMI, LVESVi and LVEF were predictors of impEF at multivariable analysis. ImpEF was significantly associated with better long-term survival in our cohort. Conclusions In patients with reduced EF undergoing surgical myocardial revascularization, impEF occurs in 42.5% of cases within 3 months and is associated with better overall survival. The predictors of impEF identified in this study might be helpful in the definition of patients at higher probability of impEF before surgery.

Transnational citizens as ‘development partners’ in Coastal Andhra

Through an example of the 'NRI Cell' in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, this chapter shows how the region's 'transnational citizens' have built an alliance with the local state. These transnational engagements have foregrounded NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) as development 'partners' based on their 'global expertise' and philanthropic resources and pre-existing relations of trust emanating from shared regional, political and caste affiliations. However, this alliance was contingent upon the prevailing political dynamics within Andhra Pradesh state in general and Guntur district in particular. Because of the provisional nature of this interaction, NRI involvement in rural development became a contested idea and practice in the region.

Using Cultural Algorithms to generate models for archaic urban centers: The Monte Alban example

Although urban centers are taken for granted today, they have only been in existence for a relatively short period of time, several thousand years. In this paper the emergence of archaic or ancient urban centers is viewed as a Cultural Evolutionary process. The focus here is on one of the earliest urban centers in Meso-America, Monte Albán. The paper examines the first phase of settlement at this site, Monte Albán Ia, using tools from complex systems and data mining to construct structural-functional building blocks. These building blocks are then employed by a Cultural Algorithm to evolve structural functional models of the ancient urban center. The population of the Cultural Algorithm was a set of urban planning agents, each of whom competed to build up a high level model of the site from the building blocks. The best model is compared with existing models of modern cities in order to identify similarities and differences between ancient and modern cities. The resultant comparison suggests that early Monte Albán exhibited a sector-based model that is characteristic of some modern cities.

Dynamic behavior of concrete dam: Lessons learned from the JCOLD database

In order to contribute to the further advancement of seismic safety evaluation and the design of dams, the Japan Commission on Large Dams released databases of earthquake recordings on dams in 1978, in 2002 and updated it in 2014. The study will mainly focus on records on two concrete dams: Tagokura gravity-dam and Kurobe arch-dam with recording devices located in the dam and also in the foundation. For each dam, a minimum set of 5 earthquake records from Magnitude 4 to almost 7 are chosen. Different methods of analysis (transfer function, frequency domain decomposition, cross-spectrum) will be considered and the variability of the results will be evaluated. Afterward, from the multiple records on gravity dams, a simplified formula is proposed to roughly estimate the acceleration amplification ratio between the crest and the bottom of gravity dams.

Geological and geochemical characteristics of the Mengxi Cu-Mo deposit and its constraint to tectonic setting of the Qiongheba magmatic arc in eastern Junggar, Xinjiang.

The Mengxi Cu-Mo deposit located north to the contact zone of Qiongheba granite batholith at the eastern segment of Beitashan-Qiongheba arc, eastern Junggar, is characterized by strong alternation, development of fracture-filled veins, and vertical zoning of veins with various mineral composition, and is kind of porphyritic Cu-Mo deposit strong affected by fault stnjctures in the ore district. Diorite porphyries and feldspar porphyries are ore-forming porphyry in the Mengxi Cu-Mo deposit. Granite in the Qiongheba area are calc-alkaline, and characterized by high Pb, K, Sr, U, Th and Zr, low Rb, Nb, Y, Ta, Yb and Ti, enriched LREE with (La/Yb)_N value from 3. 1 to 15.5. All the 22 analyzed intrusive samples have plots in the VAG (volcanic arc granite) domain in diagrams of Rb-Y + Nb, Nb-Y, Rb-Ta + Yb and Ta-Yb, and similar trace element and REE spiders with that of continental arc volcanic in Andes. These granite were production of continental arc magmatism with a composition containing component from the upper, middle and lower continental crust and equal to the average of continental arc volcanic rocks in Andes. Result of Re-Os dating shows that both the molybdenite and Cu-Mo deposit in the Mengxi area were formed at about 411 Ma BP, the diorite porphyries and feldspar porphyries in the Mengxi ore district and granite in the Qiongheba area were possible formed at latest Silurian- earlist Devonian. This indicates that Yemaquan-Beitashan- Qiongheba porphyries and porphyry copper mineralization belt is most likely the western extending of the the Oyu Tolgoi Silurian-Devonian porphyry copper mineralization belt. The granite belt in the Qiongheba area, as a part of Paleozoic continental arc magmatic belt, is a potential target for porphyritic Cu deposit.

Application of update lifting morphological wavelet and non-negative matrix factorization for wheeled and tracked vehicles classification

Abstract This paper presents an available scheme based on update lifting morphological wavelet (ULMW) and Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) for wheeled and tracked vehicles classification. The ULWM algorithm which utilizes the update operator, means the morphological filter to replace the linear filter can preserve the impulsive shape details in seismic signal. Meanwhile the NMF method can reduce the computation cost. The traditional linear wavelet analysis and statistical analysis are compared with the presented scheme. Experimental results demonstrate that the presented scheme achieves a promising performance on extracting impulsive features of seismic signal and recognizing ground moving target.

Hybridized and Localized 4f Electronic States of Nd-based Intermetallic Compounds in Cubic Symmetry Probed by High-Energy Photoemission

We have performed soft and hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopies on NdTi2Al20 and NdBe13 which show antiferromagnetic ordering at low temperatures. The Nd 3d core-level photoemission and Nd 3d-4f valence-band resonant photoemission spectra show finite 4f4 initial-state components in addition to the 4f3 configurations attributed to the c-f hybridization effects in NdTi2Al20, while the 4f3 initial-state components with localized character are dominant in NdBe13. These results imply the emergence of overscreening channel due to the two-channel Kondo effect in NdTi2Al20 through the the strong c-f hybridization effect.

The Digital Humanities and Democracy

There has been much debate in recent years as to what constitutes the digital humanities. This article argues that one way to articulate the digital humanities is through a focus on the democratization of the humanities, by increasing access to and participation in the humanities, rather than through an emphasis on technology use. Using a case study approach, and the theory of structuration, this article examines how digital humanists are attempting to expand the reach and diversity of the humanities through the digitization of data and the building of digital tools.

Development of redox proteomics methods and the identification of redox-sensitive proteins in arabidopsis

Cellular redox homeostasis mediates a wide range of physiological and developmental processes. Various stresses trigger over-production of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species which leads to oxidative modifications of redox-sensitive proteins. Identification and characterization of redox-sensitive proteins are important steps toward understanding molecular mechanisms of stress responses. In the study, a high-throughput quantitative proteomic approach termed OxiTRAQ was developed for identifying proteins whose thiols undergo reversible oxidative modifications in Arabidopsis cells subjected to oxidative stress. In this approach, a biotinylated thiol-reactive reagent is used for differential labeling of reduced and oxidized thiols, and the biotin-tagged peptides are affinity-purified and labeled with iTRAQ reagents for quantitation. This approach allows identification of the specific redox-regulated cysteine residues in proteins and offers an effective tool for elucidation of redox proteomes. With this approach, we identified 195 cysteine-containing peptides from 179 proteins whose thiols underwent oxidative modifications in Arabidopsis cells following the treatment with hydrogen peroxide. A majority of those redox-sensitive proteins, including several transcription factors, were not identified by previous redox proteomics studies. Besides, this method was also used to identify proteins that underwent oxidative modifications in Arabidopsis cells subjected to 15 minute treatment of salicylate (a key signaling molecule in the plant defense pathway) or flg22 (a peptide from bacterial flagellin that induces pathogen associated molecular patterns-triggered immunity). In total, 127 peptides from 111 distinct proteins were identified as salicylate- and/or flg22-responsive redox-sensitive proteins. Among the identified redox sensitive proteins are many regulatory proteins including those involved in chromatin remodeling, transcription, nucleocytoplasmic shutting, and posttranslational regulation. Furthermore, in vivo 15N metabolic labeling method combined with a cysteine-containing peptide enrichment technique was applied to identify proteins that undergo oxidative modifications in plants in response to pathogen attack. The identification of redox-sensitive proteins provides a foundation from which further study can be conducted toward understanding the biological significance of redox signaling in plant stress response.

LEVON SHAGHOIAN'S ROLE IN SAVING THE VAN-VASPOURAKAN REFUGEES (MARCH-AUGUST 1918)

The activities of several heroes, who dedicated their lives to the Armenian national liberation struggle in the twentieth century, remain unknown or have not been thoroughly studied for various reasons. Among those individuals who dedicated themselves entirely to the national struggle for survival was Levon “Pasha” Shaghoian. It is noteworthy that in the course of history, there have often been individual leaders who either played a fateful role in the survival and development of their nation or, on the contrary, were the cause of their own people’s demise and its subsequent disappearance from the pages of history. Although Levon Shaghoian was not a talkative person, he left us with extensive written records of his writing. Therefore, the notes, memoirs, and articles of his collaborators served as the basis for reflecting on his activities in the Fatherland. The primary sources for this article are archival materials from the National Archives of Armenia, the personal archive of Levon Shaghoian, and the Brief History of the Iraqi-Armenian Diocese. The official central archives of the ARF in Boston, as well as the memoirs of participants in the region's self-defense activities, have also been considered.

Study of the use of gamification elements in e-learning applications

The absence of human interaction in e-learning platforms leads to rapid loss of motivation of learners. As an effective way to motivate them in online learning applications, e-learning designers opt for the use of gamification elements in their applications. This study aims to compare five gamification e-learning applications by an existing Gamification taxonomy in order to propose a modification to improve it. The five applications we used are Duolingo, Socrative, Kahoot, Khan Academy and Classcraft. The objective is to compare the use of each element in these applications to know its usefulness and to propose a new gamification elements model.

Employee-Inventors Compensation in Germany — Burden or Incentive?

In Germany, around 80 to 90 percent of all inventions are created by employees. This leads to a conflict between the German principles of employment law and patent law. According to employment-law principles, the results of work are the property of the employer; the salary compensates the employee for all assigned rights and benefits. Under German patent law, however, the right to an invention arises first of all in the natural person of the employee (inventor principle). To settle this tension, the German Act on Employees’ Inventions created a comprehensive set of rules back in 1957. Under the Act, the employer can acquire the rights to employee inventions on a case by case basis only; in return, the employee is mandatorily entitled to reasonable compensation for each single invention achieved. Thus, the Act on Employees’ Inventions focuses on two key issues: 
• Ownership of inventions • Claim for reasonable compensation (beyond salary) 
In addition, the Act on Employees’ Inventions imposes certain ancillary obligations including the employer’s obligation to apply for a patent or utility model in Germany and to retransfer the rights to the invention or a filed or granted patent to the employee if the employer fails to exercise its right to apply for patent protection or decides to abandon a patent application or to let a granted patent lapse (section 14-16 Act on Employees’ Inventions). In these cases, the employer is obligated to notify the inventor and at the inventor’s request, transfer and assign all rights to the application or granted patent to the inventor at the inventor’s expense.

Enzymatic production of cassava flour using pectinase

This paper presents the studies of enzymatic activity of pectinase enzyme in liberation of starch from cassava (Manihot esculenta), especially in cassava flour. The starch granules in cassava is hold up by pectin molecules, in which its cell wall can be broken by pectinase enzyme activity. Hence, the assumption is made where the amount of starch released is inversely proportional to amount of pectin molecules left after the enzyme activity. The experiment was designed to determine the optimum condition for the pectinase activity, where parameter of incubation time, temperature, pH of the solution and concentration of enzyme is taken into consideration. The final product, which is the dried cassava powder (flour) is analyzed for equivalent pectin weight by titration method. The flour produced based on optimum conditions was then analyzed for its nutritional content. Analysis of total protein content, moisture content, ash content, crude fat content, crude fiber content were carried out. Based on the experiment, it is found that the optimum condition for pectinase activity is at between 45-50°C temperature, 7 hours of incubation time, pH value of 5 and concentration of 20 mg/ml. At these conditions, the increase in starch release is about 6%, where this value could be higher when more detailed starch assay is carried out. The nutritional profile is also satisfactory, in some cases, very healthy profile, which means the cassava flour fermented with pectinase enzyme have high potential to replace wheat flour.&#13;\n

KELLER OPERATION FOR HALLUX VALGUS AND HALLUX RIGIDUS

THIS REPORT is based on the results of 161 Keller operations for hallux valgus and hallux rigidus on 100 patients<sup>1</sup>during a 12 year period (1935 to 1947). Resection of two thirds of the proximal phalanx of the great toe combined with "exostosectomy" of the head of the first metatarsal is our method of choice for treating the majority of patients with hallux valgus and hallux rigidus. In addition, we wish to emphasize the need for attention to the disabilities and deformities of the foot invariably associated with hallux valgus if the patient is to obtain maximum benefit from any type of surgical treatment. Although Keller<sup>2</sup>reported his method of resection of the proximal part of the proximal phalanx and removal of the medial aspect of the metatarsal head in 1904 and 1912,<sup>3</sup>the operation did not become popular until the past decade, in spite of Spiers's
