Total serum alkaline phosphatase (SAP) and serum cholesterol in relation to secretor status and blood groups in myocardial infarction patients.

The relation of total serum alkaline phosphatase and serum cholesterol in convalescing patients of myocardial infarction with secretor status and blood groups have been studied. Serum cholesterol and alkaline phosphatase levels showed significant difference in secretors (98) and nonsecretors (56) in myocardial groups. Total cholesterol and total serum alkaline phosphatase levels showed significant difference in secretors when blood groups A and O are compared. While in nonsecretors, significant values obtained in A/O, A/B for cholesterol and A/B, A/AB for alkaline phosphatase levels.

Femtosecond Z-scan and degenerate four-wave mixing measurements of real and imaginary parts of the third-order nonlinearity of soluble conjugated polymers

We investigated the third-order nonlinear optical properties of several soluble π-conjugated polymers with a goal of reliable determination of the parameters that characterize the nonlinearity, such as the real and imaginary parts of the nonlinear refractive index n2 and the one-photon loss and two-photon loss merit factors W and T, respectively. The measurements were performed at 800 nm with 100-fs pulses from an amplified Ti:sapphire system. We present results of investigations of several 2,5-substituted poly(p-phenylene vinylenes), including poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-p-phenylenevinylene] and a soluble ladder poly (p-phenylene) polymer. In particular, Z-scan measurements of polymer solutions were found to be useful for the determination of the complex nonlinear refractive index. The results could be verified by time-dependent degenerate four-wave mixing studies performed on thin films of the polymers. We found generally good agreement between the values of n2 determined from Z scan and those from degenerate four-wave mixing. The results indicate that the nonlinear refractive index of the order of 10-12 cm2/W can be readily obtained for various conjugated polymers. However, the two-photon merit factors T larger than unity are commonly encountered within the two-photon absorption ranges of these compounds.

Application of the material‐independent PML absorbers to the FDTD analysis of electromagnetic waves in nonlinear media

To more accurately and effectively simulate waves propagating in nonlinear media with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, a material-independent perfectly matched layer (MIPML) absorber is proposed. Within this absorber, electric displacement D and magnetic field H are directly absorbed, whereas electric field E is simultaneously absorbed through the relation of D and E. It is shown that, with the help of this MIPML absorber, Berenger's PML can be simply and effectively extended to nonlinear media. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Tarnishing of AuAgCu alloys. Choice of an accelerated test

Abstract Three tarnish‐testing procedures were applied to three 14 and 18 ct AuAgCu and one 14 ct AuAgCuZn alloys widely used in decorative applications. Two gaseous phase tarnishing tests were investigated: the flower of sulphur test carried out at 50 °C and 75% relative humidity for 5 days, and the thioacetamide test performed at ambient temperature and 75% relative humidity for 5 days. In addition, a liquid based method known as the Tuccillo‐Nielsen test where the samples are alternatively immersed in an aqueous sulphide solution for 3 h was also studied. It was found that the general tarnishing aspect encountered in field trials was better reproduced in the liquid medium than in the gas phase tests. The colorations are more heterogeneous in the liquid test. The main advantage of the Tuccillo‐Nielsen test is that it requires only 3 h, but it can give rise to galvanic effects and may be difficult to apply to any forms of finished products. The thioacetamide test gave poorly reproducible and reliable results. In addition the colour changes after 5 days' exposure were small; moreover, thioacetamide is a carcinogen. The flower of sulphur test yielded large, reproducible colour changes. It should be preferred to the thioacetamide test for the accelerated testing of silver – and copper‐containing alloys.

Fatty Infiltration of the Gastrocsoleus after Tendo-Achilles Lengthening and Gastrocnemius Recession in a Rabbit Model

Background: Tendo-Achilles lengthening (TAL) and gastrocnemius recession (GR) are components of the operative treatment for certain foot conditions. We investigated changes in rabbit gastrocsoleus weight, volume, and percent fat resulting from TAL, GR, and immobilization. Materials and Methods: Eighteen rabbits were randomized into three groups. Group I = gastrocnemius recession; Group II = (TAL) Z-plasty lengthening; Group III = immobilization only. Treatment limbs were randomized. Six randomly selected contralateral limbs were used for controls. At 12 weeks the gastrocnemius and soleus were weighed (g) and measured (ml) separately. Values were combined and analyzed as a gastrocsoleus complex. The weight, volume, and percentage of fatty infiltration were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The following differences were statistically significant. GR volume was less than control ( p &lt; 0.01); TAL weight and volume was less than control ( p &lt; 0.01); GR percent fat was greater than control ( p &lt; 0.05) and TAL percent fat was greater than control ( p &lt; 0.05). GR weight and volume was less than cast only ( p &lt; 0.01); TAL weight and volume was less than cast only ( p &lt; 0.01); TAL percent fat was greater than cast only ( p &lt; 0.01); GR percent fat was greater than cast only ( p &lt; 0.05); GR weight was greater than TAL ( p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion: In a rabbit model, the findings suggest the gastrocsoleus undergoes atrophy and fatty infiltration after TAL or GR. Immobilization does not contribute to either process. Clinical Relevance: These findings correlate with human functional studies documenting the relationship between TAL or GR and decrease in plantarflexion strength. Further studies are needed to determine if significant variation in functional differences due to TAL versus GR exists.

Prognostic role of preoperative albumin-bilirubin grade on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after surgical resection: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Recent studies have reported albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade affected the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To more precisely evaluate the relationship among the ALBI grade and the prognosis of patients with HCC after liver resection. We systematically retrieved articles from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CNKI. The prognostic value of ALBI grade on overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) of patients with HCC after liver resection was evaluated by pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).Through multiple databases search, we enrolled 20 high-quality studies with 11365 patients, regarding the association between the ALBI grade and the prognosis of patients with HCC after liver resection. Our results showed that higher ALBI grade is associated with poored OS (HR, 1.64; 95% CI: 1.51–1.78; P &lt; 0.001; I 2 = 24.9%) and RFS (HR, 1.42; 95% CI: 1.26–1.59; P &lt; 0.001; I 2 = 0). Moreover, subgroup analysis showed the significant correlation between ALBI grade and poor long-term survival was not altered in different geographical areas, sample sizes, follow-up duration, and quality scores. The ALBI grade may be as effective predictive biomarkers for prognosis in patients with HCC after liver resection.

Is pandrug-resistance in <i>A. baumannii</i> a transient phenotype? Epidemiological clues from a 4-year cohort study at a tertiary referral hospital in Greece

Pandrug-resistant <i>A. baumannii</i> (PDRAB) is increasingly being reported but remains rare. Several case studies show that <i>A. baumannii</i> can acquire resistance to last resort antibiotics during treatment by single-step chromosomal mutations. However, re-emergence of the ancestral susceptible strain after withdrawal of antibiotics has been described, possibly due to fitness cost associated with acquired resistance. Therefore, PDRAB may be a transient phenotype. Epidemiological data to show this process in larger cohorts are currently lacking. In this study of 91 hospitalized patients with PDRAB we showed the frequent (60%) isolation of non-PDRAB, often susceptible only to colistin, aminoglycosides and/or tigecycline, preceding and/or following PDRAB isolation. However, the isolation of PDRAB in two outpatients, 25 and 36 days after their discharge from the hospital, suggests the potential of some PDRAB strains to persist even in the absence of antimicrobial pressure.

Benefits of bioradar sleep monitoring in self-isolation

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to maintain self-isolation, the vast majority of outpatient services are closed, and the inpatient clinics have limited the workload admitting almost only urgent cases. Outpatients, including ones with various sleep disorders, are left without access to the specialized examinations. This will lead to the late diagnosis and untimely therapy prescriptions. In such conditions, it is relevant to take into account new instrumental diagnostic methods that could be used by the patient themselves to register their vital parameters at home. The obtained data can be transmitted via the Internet to the attending physician for further analysis followed by prescriptions when required. One of these methods is bioradiolocation, which allows noncontact recording of breathing patterns, heart rate and movement of a person during sleep, as well as detection of various sleep disorders and determination of sleep stages. This method is easy to use, and can be recommended for home-screening by patients. Sleep has a significant immunomodulating function, and sleep assessment is important in both patients at risk and afflicted with novel coronavirus infection. Thus, the use of bioradiolocation method at home for non-contact sleep monitoring may be relevant in case of closure of outpatient facilities and will provide the doctor with objective data on sleep patterns and patterns of breathing, motor activity, the presence and amount of respiratory disturbances during sleep.

Intermediate-scale modeling to investigate up-scaling issues related to mass transfer from non-aqueous phase waste chemicals in heterogeneous aquifers

Understanding and characterization of nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) behavior at laboratory scale do not lend in a straightforward manner to the description of the processes in the field. Physical modeling using intermediate-scale tanks provides a cost-effective alternative to collect accurate data to up-scale processes from laboratory to the field. Insights and experiences gained in designing experiments to study dissolution of entrapped NAPLs are presented.

Oxygen vacancy effects on double perovskite Bi <sub>2</sub> FeMnO <sub>6</sub> : A first-principles study

Double perovskite Bi2FeMnO6 (BFMO) is a potential candidate for the highly sought single-phase multiferroic system. The large orbital radius of the Bi 6s2 lone pairs is responsible for BFMO to exhibit low symmetries and spontaneous polarization, whereas B-site ordering of Mn and Fe contributes to its magnetic properties. In this work, we study both electronic correlation and oxygen vacancy effects on magnetic, electronic and optical properties of BFMO by performing first-principles simulations using density functional theory within the local spin-density approximation (LSDA) and the LSDA+U method. We have numerically demonstrated that a strong on-site Hubbard interaction is critical for the gap opening in a pristine BFMO. We have performed calculations on a supercell constructed with eight chemical formula units of BFMO, from which oxygen atoms were removed incrementally. We showed that the average magnetization decreases with the increase of oxygen vacancy concentration. From the calculated band structure and optical conductivity, an insulator-metal transition or crossover was identified with oxygen in BFMO.

Efficient asymptotic preserving schemes for BGK and ES-BGK models on cartesian grids

Dans cette thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés à des écoulements complexes où les régimes hydrodynamique et raréfiés coexistent. On retrouve ce type d'écoulements dans des applications industrielles comme les pompes à vide ou encore les rentrées de capsules spatiales dans l'atmosphère, lorsque la distance entre les molécules de gaz devient si grande que le comportement microscopique des molécules doit être pris en compte. Pour ce faire, nous étudions 2 modèles de l'équation de Boltzmann, le modèle BGK et le modèle ES-BGK. Dans un premier temps, nous développons une nouvelle condition au bord permettant une transition continue de la solution du régime raréfié vers le régime hydrodynamique. Cette nouvelle condition permettant de préserver l'asymptotique vers les équations d'Euler compressible est ensuite incluse dans une méthode de frontière immergée pour traiter, à une précision raisonnable (ordre 2), le cas de solides immergés dans un écoulement, sur grilles cartésiennes. L'utilisation de grillescartésiennes permet une parallélisation aisée du code de simulation numérique afin d'obtenir une réduction considérable du temps de calcul, un des principaux inconvénients des modèles cinétiques. Par la suite, une approche dites aux grilles locales en vitesses est présentée réduisant également le temps de calcul de manière importante (jusqu'à 80%). Des simulations 3D sont également présentées montrant l'efficacité des méthodes. Enfin, le transport passive de particules solides dans un écoulement raréfié est étudié avec l'introduction d'un modèle de type Vlasov couplé au modèle cinétique. Grâce à une résolution basée sur des méthodes de remaillage, la pollution de dispositif optiques embarqués sur des satellites dues à des particules issues de la combustion incomplète dans les moteurs contrôlant d'altitude est étudiée.

A study on sonoluminescence emitted from micro bubbles

In this study, the sonoluminescence emitted from the bubbles in a cylindrical flask full of sodium chloride solution, which is oscillated by an ultrasonic wave with a frequency of 36.5 kHz, is captured by a still camera. The spectrum of the sonoluminescence is measured with a monochrometer and a PMT to confirm their spectral properties, especially the sodium D emission line near 589 nm. Also a new computational method for an analysis of a single spherical sonoluminescing bubble in water is proposed, in which the bubble inside is simulated using the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method, while the motion of the bubble wall follows from the well-known Keller equation. The histories of the bubble radius, pressure and temperature inside the bubble are calculated, revealing a propagation of a shock wave in the bubble.

Austria’s post-colonial present: Missing memorialization of colonial violence

This article situates Austria in wider discussions around the repercussions of colonial violence on a global scale. It focusses on the ways in which anthropological disciplines fashioned specific ideas of racial and ethnographic belonging both within and outside the Austrian-Hungarian empire. Understanding how Austrian knowledge production relied on and participated in colonial expropriation sheds light on the significance of the post-colonial for a nation that did not establish formal colonial rule overseas. The unearthing of the mortal remains of people and other forms of colonial exploitation such as geological extraction were deeply intertwined; they were often conducted within the very same expedition. These processes of colonial dispossession continue to be operative today. Anthropological and other ‘collections’ from colonial contexts that are housed in European institutions speak to the currency of these issues. This paper argues that different conceptions of time–of the relation between past and present–complicate ongoing negotiations of the meaning of Austria’s colonial history.

[A conjugate of ristomycin A ristosaminylaglycon-polymyxin B: the spectrum of its antimicrobial action and its membranolytic activity].

Antimicrobial activity of a conjugate based on two antibiotics, i.e. ristomycin A and polymyxin B was studied. The conjugate was shown to have a broad antimicrobial spectrum. In concentrations of 5 to 30 micrograms/ml it inhibited the growth of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and in concentrations of 5 to 40 micrograms/ml it inhibited the growth of the pathogenic clinical strains. An insignificant membranolytic action of the conjugate with respect to membranes of the susceptible bacteria and no hemolytic action on human red blood cells were detected.

A Place at the Multicultural Table: The Development of an American Hinduism

This is a book about Hinduism and the forms—sometimes unique, sometimes heavily influenced by Indian norms—it takes in the United States. It is not a book about Hinduism's place in the American religious context. This is not surprising given Kurien's previous work on the Hindu immigrant experience in other parts of the world, where she pays close attention to immigrant communities' relationships with India and to the mutual influence of immigrant and home communities on one another. Key to Kurien's exploration of Hinduism's growth and change in America is the relationship between religion and politics, particularly the Hindu nationalist movement in India. She argues that existing social science literature on immigrant communities tends to focus “on the role immigrant religion plays in creating a subcultural ethnic identity or on the transnational political and social involvement of immigrants” (2). Here, she seeks to combine the two inquiries, using ethnographic studies of representatives of five types of Hindu groups in the United States: satsangs (local worship groups); bala vihars (educational groups for children); temples (both ecumenical and sectarian); Hindu student organizations; and “umbrella groups” that claim to represent the concerns of all Hindus. Defining these groups as representatives of “popular” or “official” Hinduism and organizing her studies of each type of group under these headings, Kurien examines the ways in which Hindu American groups transmit the beliefs and practices of Indian Hindu communities, how they selectively utilize and adapt religious and cultural ideas to their new American context, and how the growth of a uniquely American Hindu community has also affected the construction of Hindu identity in India.
