A Reusable Flow-Through Polymerase Chain Reaction Instrument for the Continuous Monitoring of Infectious Biological Agents

Continuous monitoring of the environment for infectious diseases and related biowarfare agents requires the implementation of practical cost-effective methodologies that are highly sensitive and specific. One compatible method employed in clinical diagnostics is real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The utility of this technique for environmental monitoring is limited, however, by the utilization of single-use consumables in commercial PCR instruments. This greatly increases mechanical complexity, because sophisticated robotic mechanisms must replenish the disposable elements. An alternative strategy develops an autonomous monitoring system consisting of reusable modules that readily interface with fluidic circuitry in a flow-through scheme. The reduced complexity should increase reliability while decreasing operating costs. In this report, we describe a reusable, flow-through PCR module that functions as one component in such a system. This module was rigorously evaluated with Bacillus anthracis genomic DNA and demonstrated high repeatability, sensitivity, and efficiency, with no evidence of sample-to-sample carryover.

Clinical status of carbon-monoxide-poisoned patients and the results of rest 99mTc-MIBI and 99mTc-Amiscan heart scintigraphy performed in the acute phase of intoxication and stress-rest 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy six month later.

The double tracer (99mTc-MIBI and 99mTc-Amiscan) scintigraphy is an useful technique to imagine cardiac injury due to CO intoxication. Accumulation (retention) of 99mTc-MIBI is dependent on blood flow and cellular and mitochondrial electrical potential of myocytes. The lower tracer accumulation is seen not only in necrotic heart tissue regions, but also in ischemic area of worse metabolic rate and perfusion. 99mTc-Amiscan contrary to 99mTc-MIBI, is accumulated only in regions of early necrosis so it can be can distinguished from transitory ischemia. Mechanisms of cardiac injury due to CO toxicity is different than due to coronary occlusion and the process of the heart damage is usually much longer. Results of control stress-rest 99mTcMIBI scintigraphy, performed after 6 months from CO exposure in relation to the clinical state on admission and results of 99mTc-MIBI and 99mTc-Amiscans scans obtained in acute phase of poisoning are presented in the study. Initial 99mTc-MIBI SPET examination had confirmed transitory myocardial ischemia of different degree in all the examined patients. The mutual dependence between degree of scintigraphic changes and blood lactate level and CK activity was found. 99mTc-Amiscan scintigraphy demonstrated areas of necrosis in myocardium of some patients; they had statistically higher COHb and blood lactate concentration compared to the rest. A control stress-rest 99mTc-MIBI SPET performed 6 months after CO intoxication, confirmed a late consequences of metabolic abnormalities and a necessity of cardiovascular system follow-up controlling.

Opening the Door to the American Dream: Increasing Higher Education Access and Success for Immigrants

This report describes the demographic and educational characteristics of the U.S. immigrant population and discusses barriers faced by legal immigrants seeking to enroll in postsecondary education. The report focuses on older immigrants, who confront significant challenges in understanding and gaining access to the U.S. system of higher education because they did not attend American primary and secondary schools. It also examines the characteristics of and the barriers to persistence and completion faced by immigrant students who do enroll in college—a group that makes up twelve percent of the U.S. undergraduate population but has received relatively little attention in the public policy arena.

Timing of Changes in Interstitial and Venous Blood Glucose Measured With a Continuous Subcutaneous Glucose Sensor

The objective of this study was to use a subcutaneous continuous glucose sensor to determine time differences in the dynamics of blood glucose and interstitial glucose. A total of 14 patients with type 1 diabetes each had two sensors (Medtronic/MiniMed CGMS) placed subcutaneously in the abdomen, acquiring data every 5 min. Blood glucose was sampled every 5 min for 8 h, and two liquid meals were given. A smoothing algorithm was applied to the blood glucose and interstitial glucose curves. The first derivatives of the glucose traces defined and quantified the timing of rises, peaks, falls, and nadirs. Altogether, 24 datasets were used for the analysis of time differences between interstitial and blood glucose and between sensors in each patient. Time differences between blood and interstitial glucose ranged from 4 to 10 min, with the interstitial glucose lagging behind blood glucose in 81% of cases (95% CIs 72.5 and 89.5%). The mean (±SD) difference between the two sensors in each patient was 6.7 ± 5.1 min, representing random variation in sensor response. In conclusion, there is a time lag of interstitial glucose behind blood glucose, regardless of whether glycemia is rising or falling, but intersensor variability is considerable in this sensor system. Comparisons of interstitial and blood glucose kinetics must take statistical account of variability between sensors.

Vision and Revision of Filial Piety: Analogues and Adaptations of King Lear in Chinese Opera

Although both King Qi's Dream, by the Shanghai Beijing Opera Troupe, and Lear Is Here, by the Contemporary Legend Theatre, are adaptations of Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear, their treatments of its theme of unfiliality differ. Filial piety is one of the core values of Confucianism. Traditional Chinese theatre has a strong moralizing tendency and many of its plays preach filial devotion. Transgression against filial piety is considered a fundamental sin in Confucian culture, and it demands sensitive handling when publicly staged. Analyzing three plays from traditional theatre's repertoire-The Clear Breeze Pavilion (also called Heavenly Thunder's Retaliation), The Story of the Wall, and Birthday Greeting by Five Daughters-I identify four techniques used to mitigate the shock of unfilial children: (A) providential retaliation, (B) comedy and farce, (C) scapegoating, and (D) the ”grand reunion.” While hewing to King Lear's storyline, King Qi's Dream uses comparable tactics to transmute Shakespeare's tragedy into a didactic play of Chinese opera. Conversely, Lear Is Here employs multiple perspectives to recast the notions of filial piety, loyalty, and justice. In doing so, it challenges ethical and aesthetic traditions alike.

Post-Revolutionary Uses of Pascal

I propose to explore a convergence of influences in the period following the French Revolution, when Christian discourse weakens in some respects and is renewed in others. At the dawn of the nineteenth century, counter-revolutionary and neo-Catholic writers acclaim religious and political authority and decry the Enlightenment, whose contribution to the Revolution and effects on social life (as seen from their viewpoint) they denounce. And so the Enlightenment is blamed for the Terror, the persecution of the clergy and the corrosion of society by an all-pervasive scepticism. This denunciation is fed by a revisiting of the great figures of tradition — Montaigne, Descartes, Bossuet, Rousseau — with a view to finding, in given aspects of their thought, explanations or arguments in the struggle to defend authority from dissolution. The place of Pascal within this historical context is a decisive one, recently highlighted by Antoine Compagnon, who identifies in the movement from Rousseau to Pascal the 'usual route' taken by 'antimodern' writers.1 Having been influenced by reading the philosophers of the Enlightenment, especially Rousseau, to an important extent the counter-Revolutionaries use their own arms against them.

Mechanism for early failure in Cu dual damascene structure

An infrared microscope and a convergent electron beam technique have been applied to detect and analyze the weak via in a Cu dual Damascene contact chain. It is shown that the early failure is due to cracking in the barrier metal layer, which opens up a fast diffusion path along the interface between the barrier metal and the dielectric. The subsequent opening and, in some cases, self-recovery of the via is also discussed. This early failure mode may impose severe limitation on the scalability of the dual Damascene structure.

Gender and ethnic identity among second-generation Indo-Caribbeans

Abstract This article discusses second-generation Indo-Caribbean (West Indian of Indian descent) teenagers' ethnic identities, through a look at their taste preferences and self assertions of identity. Both Indo-Caribbean young men and women draw from multiple influences on their identities. In terms of tastes in clothing and movies, however, girls are more interested in things Indian, and in "Indian culture". Boys, on the other hand, choose to distance themselves from an Indian identity. Three factors explain these gender differences in choices about ethnic identity: (1) different media images for South Asian men and women; (2) a school context lending different levels of peer symbolic status to perceived Indian boys and girls; and (3) a gendered process of migration by which women maintain stronger cultural roots in the new country. The findings in this article point to the need to pay attention to gender differences when considering ethnic incorporation.

Asymmetric Labour Markets in a Converging Europe: Do Differences Matter?

In this paper we investigate whether differences we observe in European labour market transmission mechanisms matter for monetary policy design. We are particularly concerned with the robustness of the choice of rule by the European Central Bank (ECB) but we also comment on the choice of rules in the UK. Three different models of labour markets are constructed, one where the relationships are estimated separately, one where the most statistically acceptable commonalities across countries are imposed and one where common relationships are imposed across all countries. Panel estimation techniques are used to test for commonalities. These models are embedded into the National Institute's Global Econometric Model, NiGEM, and stochastic simulations are run to evaluate different monetary policy rules.

Aroma, touch and well‐being: following the mind to wellness

Fragrances have been used since ancient times to deliver a variety of benefits. The term aromatherapy was first coined in the 1920s by a French chemist named Rene‐Maurice Gattefossé, referring specifically to the use of natural fragrance essential oils to treat injury and disease. More recently, the discovery that touch is an important part of healthy human development has led to a greater understanding of its role as an essential part of maintaining wellness. With the growing mainstream acceptance of holistic health care, herbal remedies and nutraceuticals, aromatherapy has become much more broadly defined to include benefits which are strictly cosmetic in nature. Today, a variety of products ranging from candles to dish‐washing liquids are marketed with ‘aromatherapy’ benefits. Although there is no legal definition of aromatherapy in the U.S.A., specific claims can affect whether a product is considered a cosmetic or a pharmaceutical. Outside of the U.S.A., the term aromatherapy itself has very specific connotations which can affect the regulatory status of potential product introductions. In recent years, a number of new tools such as psychophysical measures and brain imaging techniques have greatly enhanced our knowledge of how touch and aromas are interpreted by the mind and body. This symposium will review the current state of our understanding in this area with the objective of providing a clearer understanding of the sometimes subtle differences of the role of fragrance and touch in maintaining well‐being and enhancing personal attractiveness vs. those which are pharmacological in nature.

Preservice science teachers’ conceptions of trees, forests and deforestation

In this study, preservice science teachers' conceptions of trees, forests and deforestation were explored. Thirty-three preservice science teachers who were enrolled in a compulsory ecology course participated in the study. Two open question forms were used to collect data in class hours. A phenomenographic research methodology was used to analyse preservice science teachers' written responses. Outcome space represented the full range of conceptions held by the participants and the relations identified between these conceptions. Participant responses in one of the class activities, i.e. 'Name the Tree', were also used to conclude if the preservice science teachers recognise the trees that they pass daily. Implications for teacher education are considered accordingly.

Accuracy and Efficiency Comparison of Object Detection Open-Source Models

In agriculture, weeds cause direct damage to the crop, and it primarily affects the crop yield potential. Manual and mechanical weeding methods consume a lot of energy and time and do not give efficient results. Chemical weed control is still the best way to control weeds. However, the widespread and large-scale use of herbicides is harmful to the environment. Our study's objective is to propose an efficient model for a smart system to detect weeds in crops in real-time using computer vision. Our experiment dataset contains images of two different weed species well known in our region strained in this region with a temperate climate. The first is the Phalaris Paradoxa. The second is Convolvulus, manually captured with a professional camera from fields under different lighting conditions (from morning to afternoon in sunny and cloudy weather). The detection of weed and crop has experimented with four recent pre-configured open-source computer vision models for object detection: Detectron2, EfficientDet, YOLO, and Faster R-CNN. The performance comparison of weed detection models is executed on the Open CV and Keras platform using python language.

The implications of various gene variant combinations on breeding values for Awassi ewe milk production

Background and Aim: Milk production is an important factor to consider in selecting Awassi sheep. This trait is influenced by various genes that can be managed to boost production. The breeding values (BVs) for milk production in Jordan’s Awassi sheep flocks have been established. This study determined how combined gene variants of BLG, PRL, CSN3, CSN1S1, and CSN2 affect the estimated BVs (EBVs) for milk production in Awassi sheep. Materials and Methods: Milk and blood samples were collected from 391 Awassi sheep, which was then subjected to molecular analysis through sequencing in order to identify potential alleles and genotypes that could be linked to the EBVs of milk. Results: The predicted BVs for milk were significantly influenced by PRL and CSN3 gene variants. Through performing the act of epistasis, the i nteractions of BLG with CSN3 and –CSN1S1 greatly impacted EBVs for milk production. Likewise, the three-way interaction among PRL, CSN3, and CSN1S1, as well as the combined effect of CSN3 with CSN1S1 and CNS1 significantly improved BVs for milk production. When the breeding selection program incorporates the polymorphisms of these genes, gains in milk production can be obtained. Conclusion: Alleles within the examined genomic areas are crucial for evaluating BVs and maximizing genetic gain in milk production. Keywords: Awassi sheep, breeding value, milk production.
