A novel genetic score model of UGT1A1 and TGFB pathway as predictor of severe irinotecan related diarrhea in metastatic colorectal cancer patients
Venue: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology

PurposeUGT1A1*28/*6 as predictors of severe irinotecan related diarrhea (SIRD) were duplicated by many studies. However, some patients of lower risk genotype (UGT1A1*1/*1) still suffered SIRD and the extremely low frequency of UGT1A1*6/*6 limited its clinical usage. Previous studies proved that the transforming growth factor (TGFB) family may have some effect on MTX induced mucositis. However, the associations between TGFB gene variants and SIRD have never been reported so far. Our aim was to improve the predictive value of UGT1A1 gene variants on SIRD.MethodsSix SNPs (TGFB1 rs1800469; TGFBR1 rs10733710, rs334354 and rs6478974; TGFBR2 rs3087465; UGT1A1*6) and UGT1A1*28 were selected for genotyping in 160 metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with irinotecan in a prospective multicenter trial (NCT01282658).ResultsUGT1A1*6, UGT1A1*28, rs1800469 and rs3087465 were all associated with SIRD (p 0.026, 0.014, 0.047 and 0.045 respectively) A novel genetic score model (with a cut off value of 1.5) based on them was created to predict SIRD (OR 11.718; 95 CI 2.489 55.157, p 0.002) In patients of gene score 1.5, the risk of SIRD was much higher (23.5 vs. 2.8 p 2.24E 04) and continued in the first 6 cycles of chemotherapy, while in patients with gene score =1.5, the risk was much lower and none of them suffered SIRD after the first cycle of chemotherapy (p 0.0003).ConclusionsThe novel genetic score model improved the predictive value of UGT1A1 on SIRD. If validated, it will provide valuable information for clinical use of irinotecan.

Gas turbine modeling using adaptive fuzzy neural network approach based on measured data classification

The use of gas turbines is widespread in several industries such as; hydrocarbons, aerospace, power generation. However, despite to their many advantages, they are subject to multiple exploitation problem that need to be solved. Indeed, the purpose of the present paper is to develop mathematical models of this industrial system using an adaptive fuzzy neural network inference system. Where the knowledge variables in this complex system are determined from the real time input/output data measurements collected from the plant of the examined gas turbine. It is obvious that the advantage of the neuro fuzzy modeling is to obtain robust model, which enable a decomposition of a complex system into a set of linear subsystems. On the other side, by focusing on the membership functions for residual generator to get consistent settings based on the used data structure classification and selection, where the main goal is to obtain a robust system information to ensure the supervision of the examined gas turbine.

It is needed that complete Block controllability and Block observability be a necessary and sufficient conditions for the proposed method in order to assign whole set of poles via the output feedback for linear multivariable system. The parameterization of the output feedback leads to the solution of nonlinear system of equations, for the demonstration of the proposed method efficiency a numerical example of gas turbine model is illustrated.
Secondary victimization and the collective identity of crime victims: a qualitative analysis of Swedish crime news discourse

This article presents an analysis of how secondary victims of murder in this context, the parents or close family members of a primary murder victim are represented in Swedish crime news discourse. The study is based on a discourse analysis of media coverage of secondary victims, and statements made by them, in relation to four highly publicized murder cases during the last two decades. The analysis shows that portrayals of secondary victimization reinforce the conflictual character of victim offender relationships in the news, but also limit the conditions for talking about the significance of social support, mediation and reconciliation for crime victims. News representations of crime victims become less clearly marked by the characteristics of the 'ideal' victim as secondary victims, and persons who are explicitly critical toward the legal system, claim victimhood. Furthermore, the identity of the crime victims' movement as a collective becomes destabilized when the category of the victim is widened to include individuals whose interests are framed as subjective, rather than related to the needs of other crime victims or the general public. In sum, increased media focus on secondary victims may thus undermine the legitimacy of victim claims in public discourse.
Strategy to Lock the Knee of Exoskeleton Stance Leg: Study in the Framework of Ballistic Walking Model

The paper aim is to show theoretically the feasibility and efficiency of a passive exoskeleton for human carrying a load. Human is modeled using a mathematical model of a planar bipedal five link anthropomorphic mechanism. This mechanism consists of a trunk and two identical legs; each leg consists of a thigh and shin with point foot. The exoskeleton is considered also as a five link anthropomorphic mechanism. The shape and the degrees of freedom of the exoskeleton are identical to biped (to human) If the biped is equipped with an exoskeleton, then the links of this exoskeleton are attached to the corresponding links of the biped and the corresponding hip knee and ankle joints coincide. We compare the walking of a biped alone (without exoskeleton) and of a biped equipped with exoskeleton; both models are with a load. A ballistic walking gait is designed in both cases. During the ballistic walking of the biped with exoskeleton the knee of the stance leg of the exoskeleton (and as a consequence of the biped) is locked. The locking can be realized in the knee of each leg of the exoskeleton by any mechanical brake device with no energy consumption. There are not any actuators in our exoskeleton. Therefore, we call it passive exoskeleton. The walking of the biped consists of alternating single and double support phases. In our study, the double support phase is assumed as instantaneous. At the instant of this phase, the knee of the previous swing leg is locked and the knee of the previous stance leg is unlocked. Numerical results show that during the load transport the human with the exoskeleton spends less energy than human alone.
A novel multi articular leg mechanism for biped robots inspired by bi articular muscle
Venue: 2016 6th IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob)

This paper proposes a novel multi articular leg system for biped robot. The structure and actuation scheme of the mechanism are inspired by redundantly actuated manipulators, of which actuators span over multiple joints like bi articular muscles. The proposed mechanism for robotic leg contributes to improved capacity in end effector force exertion, which allows less performance requirements in individual actuators. For the purpose of evaluation, we provide the static torque force transmission analysis, as well as walking simulation results conducted in the dynamic simulator. The results indicate that the proposed mechanism can benefit from the improved output force capacity.
Review on Removal of Phenol from Wastewater Using Low Cost Adsorbent I

Phenol is a major pollutant in the wastewater because of its presence in the effluent of petroleum refining, coal conversion, plastics, textiles, iron and steel manufacturing as well as pulp and paper manufacturing. It is very important to remove phenol from contaminated water before discharge into any natural water because of their toxicity to aquatic organisms. It has severe effect on human being, both short term and long term. The methods such as adsorption, polymerization, electrocoagulation, extraction, photodecomposition, advanced oxidation and ion exchange are used for removal of phenol from waste water. Among them, physical adsorption method is generally considered to be the best, effective, low cost and most frequently used method for the removal of phenolic pollutions. This method is suitable for phenol removal can be selected based on availability of the material, extent of separation required and properties of phenolic effluent. Locally available sawdust, easily and abundantly available material is tested experimentally as an adsorbent, after carbonization, for the removal of phenol from industrial waste waters for a safe disposal. The experiments are performed batch wise to remove phenol from synthesized aqueous solutions. The aim of the present work is to investigate the capability of sawdust used as an adsorbent for removal of phenol from wastewater and to study the effects of initial phenol concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH value and contact time on the adsorption process, then workout optimum conditions for removal. The efficiency of adsorbents is described and correlated with the usual Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations. Index TermAdsorption, Langmuir and Freundlich, Phenol, Removal. Sonawane B.

Further creation of awareness toward zoonotic diseases is of utmost important.
OSCAR: Orchestrating STT RAM cache traffic for heterogeneous CPU GPU architectures
Venue: 2016 49th Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO)

As we integrate data parallel GPUs with general purpose CPUs on a single chip, the enormous cache traffic generated by GPUs will not only exhaust the limited cache capacity, but also severely interfere with CPU requests. Such heterogeneous multicores pose significant challenges to the design of shared last level cache (LLC) This problem can be mitigated by replacing SRAM LLC with emerging non volatile memories like Spin Transfer Torque RAM (STT RAM) which provides larger cache capacity and near zero leakage power. However, without careful design, the slow write operations of STT RAM may offset the capacity benefit, and the system may still suffer from contention in the shared LLC and on chip interconnects. While there are cache optimization techniques to alleviate such problems, we reveal that the true potential of STT RAM LLC may still be limited because now that the cache hit rate has been improved by the increased capacity, the on chip network can become a performance bottleneck. CPU and GPU packets contend with each other for the shared network bandwidth. Moreover, the mixed criticality read/write packets to STT RAM add another layer of complexity to the network resource allocation. Therefore, being aware of the disparate latency tolerance of CPU/GPU applications and the asymmetric read/write latency of STT RAM, we propose OSCAR to Orchestrate STT RAM Caches traffic for heterogeneous ARchitectures. Specifically, an integration of asynchronous batch scheduling and priority based allocation for on chip interconnect is proposed to maximize the potential of STT RAM based LLC. Simulation results on a 28 GPU and 14 CPU system demonstrate an average of 17.4% performance improvement for CPUs, 10.8% performance improvement for GPUs, and 28.9% LLC energy saving compared to SRAM based LLC design.
