Blood Substitutes and Oxygen Therapeutics: A Review

Despite the exhaustive search for an acceptable substitute to erythrocyte transfusion, neither chemical-based products such as perfluorocarbons nor hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers have succeeded in providing a reasonable alternative to allogeneic blood transfusion. However, there remain scenarios in which blood transfusion is not an option, due to patient’s religious beliefs, inability to find adequately cross-matched erythrocytes, or in remote locations. In these situations, artificial oxygen carriers may provide a mortality benefit for patients with severe, life-threatening anemia. This article provides an up-to-date review of the history and development, clinical trials, new technology, and current standing of artificial oxygen carriers as an alternative to transfusion when blood is not an option.

STUDIES OF MIXED LIGAND COMPLEXES FROM DIALKYLDITHIOPHOSPHATE AND THIOSEMICARBAZIDE OR THIOSEMICARBAZONES WITH NICKEL(II)

The complexes [Ni{(RO)2PS2}2Tsc], [Ni{(RO)2PS2}2ApTsc], and [Ni{(RO)2PS2}FurTsc.2H2O] where R = methyl (Me), ethyl (Et) or propyl (Prop); Tsc = thiosemicarbazide, ApTsc = 2-acetylpyridine-thiosemicarbazone, and FurTsc = furfuraldhydethiosemicarbazone have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, and spectral studies (IR, UV-Vis, and mass). Thermal studies of the complexes have been carried out using TG and DTG techniques. An octahedral structure has been proposed for all types of the complexes. A representative types of the complexes are tested against various pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The [Ni{(EtO)2PS2}2ApTsc] shows a high degree of activity against bacteria and fungi; this may be attributed to the pyridyl ring of the 2-acetylpyridinethiosemicarbazone ligand.

Synthesis and surface characterization of mesoporous carbon for the adsorption of methane gas

This study was designed to synthesize mesoporous carbon, porous carbonic material and to characterize its surface in an attempt to adsorption methane gas(<TEX>$CH_4$</TEX>). Synthesis of mesoporous carbon was carried out under two steps ; 1. forming a RF-silica complex with a mold using CTMABr, a surfactant, and TEOS, raw material of silica, and 2. eliminating silica through carbonization and HF treatment. The mesoporous carbon was synthesized under various conditions of synthesis time and calcination. Eight different types of mesoporous carbon, which were designated as MC1, MC2, MC3, MC4, MCT1, MCT2, MCT3, and MCT4, were prepared depending upon preparation conditions. The analysis of mesoporous carbon characteristics showed that the calcination of silica stabilized the mixed structure of silica and carbonic complex, and made the particle uniform. The results also showed that hydrothermal synthesis time did not have a strong influence on the size of pore. The bigger specific surface area was obtained as the hydrothermal synthesis time was extended. However, the specific surface area was getting smaller again after a certain period of time. In adsorption experiments, <TEX>$CH_4$</TEX> was used as adsorbate. For the case of <TEX>$CH_4$</TEX>, MCT3 showed the highest adsorption efficiency.

An International Perspective on Risk/Reward Contracting: Comparison of U.S., Middle East and U.K. Alliances

The purpose of (he paper is to compare the structure of six contracts considered by clients and contractors to be partnering or alliance arrangements. Two are in the U.K., three in the U.S. and one in the Middle East. Particular emphasis is placed on the management structure and risk/reward elements found in the contracts.Basic project characteristics such as total value, work scope and length of agreement highlight the impossibility of applying a simple checklist to identify a likely partnering candidate. Each client determines if its project is best served through a partnering arrangement with a risk/reward structure.The management of the agreements has more similarities than differences, with four of the six projects being managed via Integrated Teams. While only two contracts studied are termed alliances, there nevertheless appears to be a trend to alliances by companies with some partnering experience.The risk/reward structure of the six contracts shows a great deal of variability. The sharing of upside potential is most frequently on a 50/50 basis between the client and the contractor. However, as multiple contractors are introduced into an alliance, the percentage sharing changes. One alliance treats all contractors equally for reward sharing, while another rewards in relation to relative value in the contract.The sharing of downside risk is highly dependent on the amount of perceived risk in the contract. One contract shows zero downside for the client, several share 50/50 with the contractors, while another places most of the downside risk on the client.The offshore industry is still at an early stage of implementing partnering, alliancing and risk/reward elements. One would expect an increasing number of alliances and more complex risk/reward structures as companies gain experience with the concepts.

COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance In Pregnancy

Background: Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, limited data existed regarding the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine in pregnant women. As such, many pregnant women have reservations about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. However, pregnant women are of particular concern as they are considered a vulnerable population due to the increased risk of severe complications from COVID-19. This study investigates the willingness of pregnant patients to receive the vaccine before and after discussion with a health care provider. Methods: 124 pregnant women were surveyed from February to March of 2021 at a perinatal center. Patients were queried about their willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine before and after reading a fact sheet and discussing the vaccine's safety with a provider. Results: There was a statistically significant effect of discussing the vaccine with a physician regarding patients' willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Additionally, patients who received the annual influenza vaccine were significantly more likely to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusion: Pregnant women were more willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine after discussion with a health care provider. The importance and impact of health education should be given special consideration in medical offices.

Optimizing MRI pulse sequence for displaying gold markers in radiation therapy simulation of patients with prostate cancer

Abstract Background: Magnetic resonance localization of gold markers for radiotherapy is critical for the treatment planning of prostatic cancer. This study sought to enhance the visualization of gold markers by applying the three-dimensional gradient echo (3D GRE) T 2 * sequence and comparing it with CT scan. Methods: 29 Patients who underwent both a 3D GRE T 2 * sequence and a CT were evaluated by an oncologist and radiologist. The SNR, CNR and prostate volume were calculated. Result: The depiction of gold markers using 3D GRE T 2 * exhibited an enhanced quality in comparison to CT ( p &lt; 0·05). Prostate SNR, fat SNR, muscle SNR and Osteon SNR were found to be elevated in 3D GRE T 2 *, as opposed to the CT ( p &lt; 0·05). The comparison of the average prostate volume revealed a significant difference between the mean measurements (sig = 0, p &lt; 0·05). The prostate Volume in 3D GRE T 2 * 29·03% smaller in magnitude when compared to the CT, thus bringing it into closer alignment with its authentic dimensions. Conclusion: The comparison between the MRI and the CT demonstrated that 3D GRE T 2 * is an exceptional tool for visualizing gold markers in the realm of prostate cancer radiotherapy planning. It has the potential to minimize collateral damage to healthy cells while enhancing the precision of cancer cell targeting.

$\textit{Ab initio}$ electron-phonon coupling theory of elastic helium atom scattering

We propose a fully $ \textit{ab initio} $ approach to predicting thermal attenuation in elastic helium atom scattering amplitudes, validated through strong agreement with experiments on Nb(100) and (3$\times$1)-O/Nb(100) surfaces. Our results reveal the relative contributions from bulk, resonant, and surface phonon modes, as well as from different surface mode polarizations, providing insights into differences between smooth and corrugated surfaces. These findings advance understanding of surface dynamics and electron-phonon coupling, laying groundwork for future studies on surface superconductivity.

The Bible in the Aramaic Bowls: Between Memorization, Orality, and Writtenness

Abstract The Jewish Aramaic incantation bowls from talmudic Babylonia quoted biblical material as part of their written spells, in order to bolster the apotropaic ritual. Current scholarship is making it increasingly apparent that these spells were part of the Jewish “mainstream,” rather than its margins. The bowl spells were often (sometimes?) produced by professional scribes many of whom—as I argue here —were also steeped in Jewish Scripture and liturgy. Moreover, given the high number of artifacts found, the spells can be considered representative of widespread religious practices and beliefs. The quotations are thus an unparalleled (and the only Babylonian epigraphic) source for the study of pre-Masoretic Bible traditions. The orthographic practices encountered in the biblical quotations become a lens through which to view attitudes to the Bible’s “writtenness” and the functions of writtenness, orality, and different types of memory. On the one hand, many spells provide evidence for the prominence of orality and memorization in Bible transmission and its reproduction. On the other, many bowls also imply a conceptual prestige of writtenness, alongside scribal training. At the same time, most bowls suggest a degree of self-sufficiency of the Bible as an oral, memorized, and liturgical text. While the Bible was construed as a written authority by the rabbis, in practice, its written component was likely neither always present, nor strictly necessary for achieving spiritual efficacy within the spells.

Inhibitors to Business Model Change Realization: Evidence from the European niche banking market.

The concept of business model offers several views on what it means and how it serves to enhance value capture, creation and delivery of an organization. However an organization which have experienced continuous growth, fails to realize the necessity for change. Moreover when the “wake up” call for change occurs, some factors, as the authors identify as inhibitors, severely hinders the urge to move towards change. There might be some underlying issues or rather challenges behind the creation/emergence of an inhibitor, but how does that translate when the competitive landscape shifts and a change in the existing business model becomes a necessity?

Marketing System and Market Structure for Secondhand Tractors in Punjab

The secondhand tractor markets in Punjab have assumed special significance. Around 20000 tractors are transacted annually in these markets, which are generally held on a fixed day of the week specific for each market. About 80 % of the secondhand tractors sold pass through the marketing channel: Farmer ! Agent / Sub-agent ! Farmer. The markets are unorganized and unregulated. The market place is also not proper, congested, costly, inconvenient with hardly any facility. Generally the large farmers sell their secondhand tractor to replace with a new one and the small farmers purchase the secondhand tractor. The price determination is fairly competitive. The distress sale has not been ruled out but has declined with escalation in land prices. The malpractices have been rare but as usual the farmer is the weaker party. The study has suggested that secondhand tractor markets in Punjab should be organized and regulated; the dealers should be registered and the market charges should be fixed. The market agency should maintain record of transactions in the market

Evolution of the composition of the troposphere over the past 10 years

A global and and a regional chemistry transport model were used to simulate the evolution of the lower atmosphere over the 1997-2007 period. The simulations were performed using different datasets for the emissions resulting from anthropogenic, biomass burning and natural processes. We will describe the different datasets we have used: the anthropogenic emissions are based on the emissions inventory developed for the IPCC AR5 report. The regional emissions are based on the most recent release of the EMEP emissions. We will discuss the consistency between the global and regional emissions. The evolution of the biomass burning emissions, which are provided on a monthly basis will be discussed. Different sets of emissions of biogenic hydrocarbons have been used in the simulations. We will discuss the evolution of several tropospheric species over the considered period, and the impact of the different types of emissions. First results on the comparison of model results from this retro-analysis with air pollutant observations available for the last decade including satellite measurements of tropospheric NO2 columns will be presented, as well as discussions on the expected impact of emission reductions.

STAM : traduction des textes non structurés (dialectes du Maghreb) (STAM: Translation of unstructured text (Maghreb dialects) The use of communication platforms (social networks, discussion forums).

L’utilisation des plateformes de communication (reseaux sociaux, forums de discussions, ...) a pris une ampleur considerable. Ces plateformes permettent aux internautes d’exprimer leur avis concernant un sujet, demander ou echanger des informations, commenter un evenement, etc. Ainsi, nous retrouvons dans ces differentes sources d’informations une quantite importante de textes rediges dans des dialectes locaux dont sont originaires les redacteurs. Cependant, ces textes non structures rendent l’exploitation des outils de traitement automatique des langues tres difficile. Le systeme STAM aborde cette problematique en proposant un systeme capable de transcrire automatiquement des textes ecrits dans un dialecte parle dans les pays du Maghreb en un texte facilement interpretable et comprehensible (francais ou anglais).

Smallpox and Other Orthopoxvirus Diseases

Smallpox was a severe disease causing substantial mortality among populations over several thousand years. It is caused by an orthopoxvirus, the variola (= smallpox) virus. Smallpox is a febrile disease with a maculo-, papulo-, vesicular and finally pustular rash, the typical pox lesions, numerous complications and a fatality rate of approximately 30%. Material from smallpox patients was used to inoculate healthy subjects (“variolation”) in medieval China, possibly offering some protection, but it was associated with high risk of complications and death. In 1796, the English physician Edward Jenner discovered that material from cowpox lesions inoculated into healthy subjects protected against smallpox in a comparatively safe way. This discovery was the invention of vaccination. Vaccination campaigns in the 19th and 20th century controlled smallpox, and following a global WHO-coordinated eradication campaign, it was finally declared eradicated by 1980. Other orthopoxviruses, such as the monkeypox virus, are still causing human disease in some geographies and may be emerging due to waning population immunity and population growth in previously rural or forested areas. Two antiviral compounds have been licensed for specific treatment. Various vaccines based on Jenner’s invention, using scarification with replicating live vaccinia strains, are still available globally for outbreaks. In the Western world, two smallpox vaccines are licensed and stockpiled today for emergency use: ACAM2000, a cell culture GMP-produced vaccinia strain; and a non-replicating, “Modified Vaccinia Ankara” (MVA) vaccine, GMP-produced on chicken embryo fibroblasts.
