QUALITY ASSURED SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF ISO 9613 ACCORDING TO ISO/TR 71534-3

The ISO 9613-2 standard is a well-known method for the calculation of industrial environmental noise. The standard was published in 1996 and since then has been implemented in numerous commercial software applications. The standard however, does not contain quality requirements for applications, such as test cases and recommendations for implementation. Therefore, the calculated results of different implementations for the exact same situation cannot be expected to be the same. When comparing different software implementations of ISO 9613-2 the results of different applications can differ up to 5dB for simple situations and up to 10dB for complex situations. This makes the result of noise prediction software even more uncertain. Not because of bugs or errors in the software, but because of unclear text and ambiguous algorithms in the standard. For many years now this has been an inconvenient truth in the world of noise prediction. At the Forum Acusticum congress in 2005, special focus was put on uncertainties while implementing noise prediction standards. More papers on quality requirements for software implementation were presented in the years following. This has all contributed to the new quality standard ISO 17534 in 2015. In TR3 (ISO/TR 17534-3) test cases and recommendations for implementation of ISO 9613-2 are described in detail. This should make ISO 9613-2 unambiguous and makes it straight forward to implement in software. But to what extend is this true, and will this approach work for other calculation standards such as CNOSSOS-EU? This paper describes the experiences of DGMR, member of the ISO 17534 working group, while using the recommendations of TR3 for a fresh and new software implementation of ISO 9613-2. Based on the experiences, this paper makes recommendations for quality requirements of CNOSSOS-EU.

Extended Tapes of Cyclic Water Hexamers in an Unusual Oxalate-Bridged One-Dimensional Copper(II) Complex

Extended tapes of cyclic water hexamers are formed in a one-dimensional copper(II) complex bridged by oxalate with a rare mono, bidentate coordination mode. The water tapes are stabilized by the hydrogen bond interactions between uncoordinated oxalate oxygen atoms and water molecules. Magnetic analysis reveals weak ferromagnetic interactions mediated by the oxalate bridge with the exchange parameter J = 0.36 cm-1.

Novel homozygous mutation in the human <i>RAX</i> homeobox gene in a patient with bilateral anophthalmia and severe endocrine dysfunction – a case report and literature review

Abstract Objectives Childhood visual impairment due to congenital malformation leads to severe handicaps and lifelong consequences for the affected child. Congenital anophthalmia remains a rare condition marked by a child born with an empty eye socket. The embryonic plant of the eye occurs approximately on day 22 of intrauterine development and ends within the first trimester of pregnancy. Mutations in the RAX gene located on chromosome 18 (# 601881) cause a spectrum of head malformations, ranging from isolated microphthalmia/anophthalmia with cleft lip and palate to complex brain malformations. Case presentation Here, we present a child’s case diagnosed with bilateral anophthalmia at 33 weeks of gestation. The newborn was delivered vaginally with a RAX -gene-linked syndrome. Besides craniofacial malformations (bilateral anophthalmia, craniofacial hypoplasia, bilateral cleft lip), the female child had severe endocrine dysfunction (congenital hypopituitarism and diabetes insipidus) postnatal that required specialised monitoring and clinical management. Our case study reports a novel homozygous autosomal recessive non-sense mutation (c.106G&gt;T; p.Glu36Ter) of the RAX gene. This is the first description of this pathogenic gene variant in the literature. Conclusions Early and precise sonography is crucial in detecting these conditions on time to prepare postpartum care and avoid delays in optimal clinical treatment for the affected child. This case report aims to raise the scientific community’s awareness about this rare genetic syndrome, showing an individualised two-year follow-up program that could help guide physicians and future parents of affected children.

Impacts of Cover Crop Mixtures on Productivity of Cropping Systems

A field study and a meta-analysis were conducted to compare the impact of cover crops on carbon and nitrogen dynamics and cash crop yield. The field study included six treatments: winter cereal rye, winter cereal rye-Austrian winter pea at two seeding rates, cereal rye-Austrian winter pea-radish at two seeding rates, and a no cover control. Meta-analysis data sets were compiled from studies published between 1994 and 2017. Treatments were grouped into the following classifications: monoculture, binary mix, polyculture, or control. In both the field study and meta-analysis, cover crops did not affect cash crop yield. However, plant biomass and plant biomass N in binary mixtures containing legumes were greater in both the field study and meta-analysis. Binary mixtures proved as beneficial as polycultures potentially reducing grower’s seed costs and management decisions. The meta-analysis allowed data to be analyzed across all regions, environments, and crops, and highlighted a lack of cover crop mixture data emphasizing the need for additional future research

A Review of the List of Plant Diseases in Korea and the Names of Korean Tree Diseases

Since the List of Plant Diseases in Korea (DisList) was first published in 1986, the 6th edition appeared 36 years later. In 2023, the 6.1 edition, a revised and improved version of the 6th edition, was released to the public on the web free of charge. The contents of DisList increased, with the number of hosts increasing from 437 taxa to 1,420 taxa and the number of disease species increasing from 1,539 to 6,680. Among these, tree diseases are 3,586 species and their hosts include 504 taxa, providing much help to experts who need them. Meanwhile, the importance of accurate disease names continues to grow with the legalization of tree care, but many disease names are still inappropriate or misused, causing confusion. Disease names that do not follow the naming regulations are still registered, and even if the same pathogen infects hosts of the same taxa, the disease names are given differently, and there are many disease names that do not indicate the characteristics of the disease. Also, there are diseases reported without Korean names. In order to make DisList better, the review committee for disease names should establish the regulations to review and register disease names, and establish a system to review new disease names before publishing papers.

Increased expression of I-region-associated antigen (Ia) on B cells after cross-linking of surface immunoglobulin.

Abstract Both surface Ig (sIg) surface Ia (sIa) have been shown to have important roles in B lymphocyte activation. In order to investigate a possible relationship between these molecules, we studied the effects of cross-linking of sIg on the expression of sIa, as measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis of lymphoid cells stained with conventional anti-Ia anti-serum or with fluorescein-labeled anti-Ia antibodies. Exposure of cells for 24 hr in vitro to anti-delta, anti-mu, anti-kappa antibodies, or their F(ab')2 fragments induced a very dramatic increase in expression of sIa. Similarly, i.v. injection of anti-delta antibodies into adult mice induced a 2- to 3-fold increase in expression of B cell sIa on spleen, lymph node, and Peyer's patch lymphocytes. There was no increase under these conditions in expression of other B lymphocyte surface antigens, including H-2, 4B9, and 17C9. Furthermore, exposure of B lymphocytes to antibodies directed to B lymphocyte surface antigens other than sIg did not result in an increase in expression of sIa. The anti-Ig-induced increase in sIa expression appeared to be T independent, required cellular protein synthesis, and required more time to occur than did the cross-linking and removal of sIg. This increase in expression of sIa did not occur on B lymphocytes obtained from mice younger than 3 wk old. This increase in expression of sIa may reflect a proximal event in B lymphocyte activation that occurs after cross-linking of sIg by antigen and that may enhance subsequent cellular interactions involving B lymphocytes.

Salmonella Bacteremia and Ovarian Abscess in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Woman

Salmonella infections are generally self-limited and restricted to the gastrointestinal tract. In contrast, in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, there is a higher incidence of bacteremia caused by non-typhi Salmonella, as well as focal manifestations, although these ones still remain rare. In women with persistent abdominal pain or in those who present with pelvic inflammatory disease and history of Salmonella infection, ovarian abscess should be considered in the differential diagnosis. We present a case of Salmonella bacteremia and tubo-ovarian abscess in an HIV-infected woman. To our knowledge, this is the first case of non-typhi Salmonella ovarian abscesses in HIV-infected women reported in the literature.

Nonmetastatic, high-risk prostate cancer patients with biochemical relapse after local treatment: A prospective, randomized phase III study comparing hormonal therapy ± docetaxel—An analysis of final safety results.

4685 Background: More than 75% of high risk prostate cancer (PC) patients (pts) will undergo PSA recurrence within 2 years after local treatment. Docetaxel (D) is indicated for metastatic castrated-refractory PC. D activity in high risk patients was investigated. Methods: A multicenter, randomized phase 3 study was designed to compare HT (triptorelin, every 3 months for 1 year) to HT+D (70 mg/m2 Q3W, 6 cycles) in non-metastatic PC pts at high risk of systemic recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) and/or radiotherapy (RT). Inclusion criteria were at least 1 of the following: Gleason ≥ 8, PSA-DT ≤ 6 months, positive surgical margins, PSA velocity > 0.75 ng/mL/year, pathological pelvic lymph nodes, time from initial treatment to inclusion ≤ 12 months. Within maximum 90 days before inclusion, at least 3 consecutive progressive PSA > 0.2 ng/mL (RP) or >1 ng/mL (RT). Primary endpoint was PSA Progression Free Survival; secondary endpoints were PSA response, time to clinical progression, overall survival and safety (NCI-CTC 2.0). Results: 254 patients were included, 127 pts in both arm (A: HT+D and B: HT). For A and B arms, median age at inclusion was 64 and 66 years, delay from initial diagnosis to study entry 34 and 33 months, ECOG=0 95.5% and 93.6% and Gleason score ≥ 8 31% and 25%, respectively. In arm A, the most commonly observed grade 3-4 toxicities were: neutropenia (47.5%), febrile neutropenia (7.3%), thrombocytopenia (2.5%) and anemia (<1%), 17.1% received growth factors. Grade 1-2 toxicities were: asthenia (73.8%), hair loss (49.2%), nausea (28.7%), vomiting (10.6%), constipation (17.1%), diarrhea (31.9%), edema (24.6%), nail changes (38.5%) and sensory neuropathy (7.3%). Hormone-therapy related toxicities in both arms were comparable and essentially grade 2 hot flushes and depression. Conclusions: Final safety analysis exhibited mainly hematological toxicity due to D. These results suggest favorable safety of D in early stage PC patients. In June 2010, 140 patients will have completed the follow-up period and preliminary results on biological and clinical efficacy will be available.

Competitiveness and Export Similarity of Indonesia’s Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is one of the vegetable oils that became potential export product in Indonesia. Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia are three of the biggest exporters of coconut oil in ASEAN, by knowing their position in the Internastional trade of Coconut Oil it become an evauation for the sustainability of the Indonesia’s coconut oil trade.,The aims of this research are knowing the position of Coconut Oil (Crude Coconut Oil with HS Code 151311 and Its derivative with HS code 151319) compared to the competitors during 2001 to 2017 by using Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Acceleration Ratio (AR), Trade Specialization Index (ISP) and Export Similarity Index (ESI) for adding information about the similarity of the export structure of coconut oil from Indonesia, Philippines, and Malaysia to the world market. The results of the research show that Indonesia has high competitiveness, and has the highest acceleration in the growth of Crude Coconut Oil’s exports (HS Code 151311) compared to the Philippines and Malaysia. Meanwhile, Indonesia and Philipines have a higher similarity market of coconut oil than Indonesia and Malaysia. Indonesia should increase the capacity industries for derivative of crude coconut oil (HS code 151319) so it could increase volume and value export because it has a higher benefit than crude coconut oil.

Increasing Faculty Use of Instructional Technology: Barriers and Incentives

Abstract Although much discussion in the media suggests that instructional technologies are being widely used in education, little empirical evidence exists to support this notion. Many factors inhibit the acceptance of any instructional innovation into the academic community, particularly in higher education. This study examined the factors influencing use of technology by faculty members at an American university. The findings of this investigation suggest that the most important factor influencing the university faculty's use of technology is their need to be certain that the technology will contribute to improved student learning. Availability of equipment is another highly important factor that influences utilization. Funds to purchase materials, advantages over traditional delivery methods, contribution to improved student interest, time to learn the technology and university support are other factors that affect use of instructional technology by this population.

Oclacitinib in feline nonflea‐, nonfood‐induced hypersensitivity dermatitis: results of a small prospective pilot study of client‐owned cats

Background Oclacitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor that decreases pruritus and lesions in allergic dogs. In cats, it is able to inhibit interleukin‐31‐induced pruritus; no information is available on its clinical effectiveness. Hypothesis/Objectives To evaluate the efficacy, ease of administration and tolerability of oclacitinib in feline nonflea‐, nonfood‐induced hypersensitivity dermatitis. Methods Cats &gt;12 months of age and &gt;3 kg body weight with a diagnosis of nonflea‐, nonfood‐induced hypersensitivity dermatitis were treated with oclacitinib, 0.4–0.6 mg/kg orally (p.o.) twice daily for 2 weeks, then once daily for an additional 14 days. Clinical lesions were evaluated with the Scoring Feline Allergic Dermatitis ( SCORFAD ) system and pruritus was evaluated with a 10‐cm‐long visual analog scale ( VAS ) before and at the end of the study. Owners assessed global efficacy, ease of administration and tolerability with a four‐point scale. Results Twelve cats were treated with a mean initial oclacitinib dose of 0.47 mg/kg p.o. twice daily. There was good improvement in SCORFAD and VAS pruritus scores in five of 12 cases, while the other cats were unchanged, deteriorated or dropped out due to treatment failure. Owners scored global efficacy as good/excellent in four of 12 cases and ease of administration and tolerability as good/excellent in 10 of 12. Conclusions and clinical importance Oclacitinib at 0.4–0.6 mg/kg p.o. may be an effective and safe drug for some cats with nonflea‐, nonfood‐induced hypersensitivity dermatitis. Further studies are needed to identify the most effective dose range for this species.

Multimodality approach to a big defect of the abdominal wall

Aim. Abdominal wound dehiscence is common, usually resulting from laparotomies associated with contamination and necrosis. Dehiscences are managed by controlling the infection and local wound toilet, until local conditions at the site allow for wound closure. When this is not feasible, healing is by secondary intention. The objective of our study was to find a simple and reproducible method for abdominal wall reconstruction after trauma. Methods. This paper describes our experience in four cases of post-trauma reconstruction of complex abdominal wall defects by means of skin expansion associated with the use of a prosthetic mesh to repair the fascial defects. Results. In the cases described, we found a method for restoring abdominal wall integrity, with the use of skin expansion and a mesh for fascial closure. Tissue expansion has the advantage of ensuring a well vascularised and innervated autologous tissue reconstruction. Conclusion. This method was simple and had good clinical, functional and aesthetic results, achieving reconstructions with a long term stability and patients' satisfaction.

Superintendent Relations: Impact of Leadership on Student Learning

Since the implementation of No Child Left Behind school systems across America have been searching for the answer to increasing student achievement. Researchers have found many methods of increasing achievement through leadership behaviors, however others have found that superintendents have a very small impact on achievement and proficiency. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between superintendent leadership behaviors and student proficiency rates in school districts in rural West Virginia. This quantitative, correlational study specifically sought to discover how accurately school proficiency rates could be predicted from a linear combination of superintendent instructional leadership behaviors. Fifty-five school districts in rural West Virginia were the target for this study. Of the 55 districts, a convenience sample of 41 superintendents were used for this study. Superintendents self-ranked their level of emphasis placed on leadership behaviors in the Superintendent Instructional Leadership Survey (SILS) using a five-point Likert Scale. A multiple regression was conducted to determine the correlation between the independent variable (superintendent leadership behaviors) and dependent variable (student proficiency) and found a high level of prediction, R=.962, p &lt; .001.
