Machining characteristics evaluation of aluminium composites based on cBN and PCD inserts
Year: 2018

Today's industrial trend encouraged the usage of advanced materials due to their superior properties like a high strength to weight ratio and good corrosion resistance. This advanced materials also termed as composite, especially aluminium based composite having a vast number of applications such as transportation, aerospace, automobiles and defence. Generally aluminium based composites were reinforced with alumina, silicon carbide, boron carbide and graphite etc. to improve their properties. Machining of composite materials is inevitable to realize the products or components. In this paper, it is aimed to present that the AA 6061 B4C Graphite composite fabrication and its machining characteristics. The aluminium composite was fabricated through stir casting route. The turning experiment was conducted by varying the speed, feed and depth of cut. The machining performance was evaluated using PCD and cBN tools to the lesser tool wear attainment. SEM images analysis was carried out to assess the tool wear mechanism.
Computation of Operational and Environmental Benchmarks within Selected Galician Fishing Fleets
Year: 2011

Increasing the eco efficiency of fishing fleets is currently a major target issue in the seafood sector. This objective has been influenced in recent years by soaring fuel prices, a fact particularly relevant to a sector whose vessels present high energy consumption rates. Efforts to minimize fuel consumption in fishing fleets result in economic benefits and also in important reductions regarding environmental impacts. In this article, we combine life cycle assessment (LCA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to jointly discuss the operational and environmental performances of a set of multiple, similar entities. We applied the "five step LCA DEA method" to a wide range of vessels for selected Galician fisheries, including deep sea, offshore, and coastal fleets. The environmental consequences of operational inefficiencies were quantified and target performance values benchmarked for inefficient vessels. We assessed the potential environmental performance of target vessels to verify eco efficiency criteria (lower input consumption levels, lower environmental impacts) Results revealed the strong dependence of environmental impacts on one major operational input: fuel consumption. The most intensive fuel consuming fleets, such as deep sea trawling, were found to entail the diesel consumption levels nearest to the efficiency values. Despite the reduced environmental contributions linked to other operational inputs, such as hull material, antifouling paint, or nets, these may contribute to substantial economic savings when minimized. Finally, given that Galicia is a major fishing region, many of the conclusions and perspectives obtained in this study may be extrapolated to other fishing fleets at the international level.
The effect of trans 10, cis 12 conjugated linoleic acid on gene expression profiles related to lipid metabolism in human intestinal like Caco 2 cells
Venue: Genes Nutrition
Year: 2009

We conducted an in depth investigation of the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the expression of key metabolic genes and genes of known importance in intestinal lipid metabolism using the Caco 2 cell model. Cells were treated with 80 mmol/L of linoleic acid (control) trans 10, cis 12 CLA or cis 9, trans 11 CLA. RNA was isolated from the cells, labelled and hybridized to the Affymetrix U133 2.0 Plus arrays (n 3) Data and functional analysis were preformed using Bioconductor. Gene ontology analysis (GO) revealed a significant enrichment (P 0.0001) for the GO term lipid metabolism with genes up regulated by trans 10, cis 12 CLA. Trans 10, cis 12 CLA, but not cis 9, trans 11 CLA, altered the expression of a number of genes involved in lipid transport, fatty acid metabolism, lipolysis, b oxidation, steroid metabolism, cholesterol biosynthesis, membrane lipid metabolism, gluconeogenesis and the citrate cycle. These observations warrant further investigation to understand their potential role in the metabolic syndrome.
Improving management of patients with autism spectrum disorder having scheduled surgery: optimizing practice.
Venue: Journal of pediatric health care official publication of National Association of Pediatric Nurse Associates Practitioners
Year: 2014

Surgical preparation for children with autism spectrum disorders can be a challenge to perioperative staff because of the unique individual needs and behaviors in this population. Most children with autism function best in predictable, routine environments, and being in the hospital and other health care settings can create a stressful situation. This prospective, descriptive, quality improvement project was conducted to optimize best practices for perioperative staff and better individualize the plan of care for the autistic child and his or her family.  Forty three patients with a diagnosis of autism or autistic spectrum disorder were seen over 6 months at a suburban pediatric hospital affiliated with a major urban pediatric hospital and had an upcoming scheduled surgery or procedure requiring anesthesia. Caregivers were interviewed before and after surgery to collect information to better help their child cope with their hospital visit.  In an evaluation of project outcomes, data were tabulated and summarized and interview data were qualitatively coded for emerging themes to improve the perioperative process for the child.  Findings showed that staff members were able to recognize potential and actual stressors and help identify individual needs of surgical patients with autism. The families were pleased and appreciative of the individual attention and focus on their child's special needs. Investigators also found increased staff interest in optimizing the surgical experience for autistic children.
Improving Target driven Visual Navigation with Attention on 3D Spatial Relationships
Venue: ArXiv
Year: 2020

Embodied artificial intelligence (AI) tasks shift from tasks focusing on internet images to active settings involving embodied agents that perceive and act within 3D environments. In this paper, we investigate the target driven visual navigation using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in 3D indoor scenes, whose navigation task aims to train an agent that can intelligently make a series of decisions to arrive at a pre specified target location from any possible starting positions only based on egocentric views. However, most navigation methods currently struggle against several challenging problems, such as data efficiency, automatic obstacle avoidance, and generalization. Generalization problem means that agent does not have the ability to transfer navigation skills learned from previous experience to unseen targets and scenes. To address these issues, we incorporate two designs into classic DRL framework: attention on 3D knowledge graph (KG) and target skill extension (TSE) module. On the one hand, our proposed method combines visual features and 3D spatial representations to learn navigation policy. On the other hand, TSE module is used to generate sub targets which allow agent to learn from failures. Specifically, our 3D spatial relationships are encoded through recently popular graph convolutional network (GCN) Considering the real world settings, our work also considers open action and adds actionable targets into conventional navigation situations. Those more difficult settings are applied to test whether DRL agent really understand its task, navigating environment, and can carry out reasoning. Our experiments, performed in the AI2 THOR, show that our model outperforms the baselines in both SR and SPL metrics, and improves generalization ability across targets and scenes.
Clinical heart transplantation with extended preservation time >5 hours) experience with University of Wisconsin solution.
Venue: Transplantation proceedings
Year: 2009

Use of University of Wisconsin solution has been suggested for extended organ preservation >4 hours in experimental cardiac transplantation, but few data have been reported from clinical use. This study investigated the impact of preservation with UW solution after prolonged ischemic times on myocardial damage and outcomes after heart transplantation.  Between 1994 and 2006, 34 orthotopic heart transplantations were performed at our institution with cold ischemic times of >or=300 minutes (mean, 325.1 21.3) Donor organs were perfused with and stored in 1000 mL of University of Wisconsin solution. No significant differences were observed with regard to age, gender, diagnosis, donor inotropic support, and donor recipient weight ratio when compared with recipients undergoing an ischemic time <300 minutes.  After a mean follow up of 47.6 months (range, 1 day to 147.1 months) Kaplan Meier survival analysis revealed survivals of 91.0% at 3 months, and 82.9% for the entire observation period. The time required to wean from bypass (mean, 78.1 minutes) was equal when compared with that of recipients experiencing grafts undergoing an ischemic time of <300 minutes, but there was a significantly greater average need for inotropic support over the first 48 posttransplant hours. Neither hospital stay in the ICU (mean, 13.0 days; range, 1 55 days) nor the incidence of acute graft failure or survival was different.  We conclude that heart preservation with UW limited ischemic damage from prolonged storage and improved myocardial function in the early posttransplant period, thus allowing transplantation of organs with ischemic times >300 minutes.
Prognostic factors for olfactory groove meningioma with nasal cavity extension
Venue: Oncotarget
Year: 2018

Meningioma recurrence remains a significant issue. No study has described the relationship between the clinical features and prognosis of communicating meningioma that primarily originates from the olfactory groove. The aim of the study was to identify prognostic factors of communicating olfactory groove meningiomas that could be stratified according to their risk of recurrence.  A Simpson grade one or two resection was achieved. Complications with cerebrospinal rhinorrhoea occurred in two patients: one required reoperation, and the other was managed successfully with external drainage of lumbar cistern. There were 5 known clinical recurrences within the median follow up of more than 5 years. The median 5 year recurrence free survival for patients was 88.4% Factors such as gender, tumour size, T2 signal and the hyperostotic bone had no significant effect on recurrence free survival. However, recurrence was activated by oedema range, hyperostosis, dural tail sign and tumor texture (p 0.05) Interestingly, female patients with the disease were younger than males at diagnosis, and the difference was statistically significant (p 0.013)  Based on these features of communicating olfactory groove meningiomas, different strategies may be adopted for the follow up and subsequent treatment. Due to the relatively uncommon incidence, more investigations into the clinical behaviour of this entity are crucial.  A retrospective study of 43 patients harbouring olfactory groove meningiomas invading the ethmoid or nasal cavity was conducted at three medical centers from 2000 to 2010. The records were reviewed for clinical presentations, imaging studies, surgical observation, histological features and follow up.
Integrative taxonomy of Leptonetela spiders (Araneae, Leptonetidae) with descriptions of 46 new species
Venue: Zoological research
Year: 2017

Extreme environments, such as subterranean habitats, are suspected to be responsible for morphologically inseparable cryptic or sibling species and can bias biodiversity assessment. A DNA barcode is a short, standardized DNA sequence used for taxonomic purposes and has the potential to lessen the challenges presented by a biotic inventory. Here, we investigate the diversity of the genus Leptonetela Kratochvil, 1978 that is endemic to karst systems in Eurasia using DNA barcoding. We analyzed 624 specimens using one mitochondrial gene fragment (COI) The results show that DNA barcoding is an efficient and rapid species identification method in this genus. DNA barcoding gap and automatic barcode gap discovery (ABGD) analyses indicated the existence of 90 species, a result consistent with previous taxonomic hypotheses, and supported the existence of extreme male pedipalpal tibial spine and median apophysis polymorphism in Leptonetela species, with direct implications for the taxonomy of the group and its diversity. Based on the molecular and morphological evidence, we delimit and diagnose 90 Leptonetela species, including the type species Leptonetela kanellisi(Deeleman Reinhold, 1971) Forty six of them are previously undescribed. The female of Leptonetela zhai Wang Li, 2011 is reported for the first time. Leptonetela tianxinensis (Tong Li, 2008) comb. nov. is transferred from the genus Leptoneta Simon, 1872;the genus Guineta Lin Li, 2010 syn. nov. is a junior synonym of Leptonetela; Leptonetela gigachela(Lin Li, 2010) comb. nov. is transferred from Guineta. The genus Sinoneta Lin Li, 2010 syn. nov. is a junior synonym of Leptonetela; Leptonetela notabilis(Lin Li, 2010) comb. nov. and Leptonetela sexdigiti(Lin Li, 2010) comb. nov. are transferred from Sinoneta; Leptonetela sanchahe Wang Li nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name for Sinoneta palmata(Chen et al, 2010) because Leptonetela palmata is preoccupied.

John Money's "Chronophilia" Untimely Sex between Philias and Phylisms
Year: 2019

Pursuing a number of fashionable but irredeemably divergent scientific tangents, John Money's 1980s through 1990s work contains a protracted but ill fated attempt to capture erotic age orientation in broader than strictly forensic psychiatric frames. Money bemoaned "medicalization" and pseudo science but also advanced a speculative, grand opponent process theory for what he called "the paraphilias" If Money's ad hoc term and taxonomical concept of "chronophilia" has remained unassimilable both culturally and (until very recently) academically, this historical outcome is not without significance and invites pondering by any contemporary practitioner burdened by the inheritance of the nineteenth century medicalization of untimely sex Money was struggling to make

The article deals with the comparison of mining companies extracting building materials in the Czech Republic. First, the legal form of all companies operating in the selected raw material segment is analysed. Subsequently, the actual comparison of the enterprises is carried out, which includes the most important enterprises of the different raw material groups (brick raw material, dimension stone, building stone, gravel, and sand) Selected companies are compared in the period 2011 2018 using six indicators: ROA, inventory turnover, total debt, immediate liquidity, DHM productivity, net working capital turnover time. The weighted sum method is used for self evaluation. Indicator weights are determined using the Fuller triangle. The comparison shows that the following companies are the best in the raw material groups: (i) Heluz s.r.o. (Ltd. (brick clays) (ii) Granit Lipnice s.r.o. (Ltd. (dimension stone) (iii) EUROVIA Kamenolomy, a.s. (Plc. (building stone) (iv) Ceskomoravsky sterk, a.s. (Plc. (gravel and sand) When comparing the companies in the whole building material segment, EUROVIA Kamenolomy, a.s. (Plc. is the best company, followed by Kamenolomy CR, s. r. o. (Ltd. and KAMEN Zbraslav (Plc. The analysis also found that 54.24 of mining companies in the Czech Republic use the legal form of s.r.o. (Ltd. and 26.69 are public or private limited companies a.s.
Communicative Language Teaching
Year: 2006

Communicative language teaching (CLT) is best understood within the broader historical spectrum of methods or approaches to language teaching. Seen from a 20th century modernist perspective that views teaching as rather more science than art, the theoretical grounding for the epistemology of practice offered by CLT can be found in (1) the second or foreign language acquisition research that began to flourish in the 1970s and (2) a long standing functional view of language and language use as social behavior. The interpretation or implementation of practice in language teaching contexts around the world is of course yet another matter. A consideration of these various influences highlights the major issues that confront CLT on the threshold of the 21st century.

Se planifico un estudio transversal con un diseno orientado a la prediccion del riesgo de problemas en los marcadores de salud fisica derivado del tipo de familia (familias intactas vs. familias con ruptura de los progenitores) El estudio se llevo a cabo en el area asistencial primaria del Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago de Compostela (Espana) Participaron en el estudio 467 ninos y adolescentes, de los que 300 (64.2% provenian de familias con ruptura de progenitores y 167 (35.8% de familias intactas. Los datos de salud fisica se recogieron por medio de la entrevista estructurada Historia Estructurada de Desarrollo, del BASC. Se encontro que los hijos de progenitores separados tienen aproximadamente el doble de probabilidades de desarrollo de problemas gastrointestinales, genitourinarios, dermatologicos y neurologicos que los de familias intactas. La ruptura de los progenitores supone un factor de riesgo para la salud fisica de los hijos, incluyendo problemas genitourinarios, gastrointestinales, dermatologicos y neurologicos.
Using focus groups for strategic planning in a CME unit.
Venue: The Journal of continuing education in the health professions
Year: 2008

A skilled interviewer external to the university was approached to assist in the planning process. The same expert established the interview process and protocol. The schedule was developed through feedback and discussions with CME unit staff. The proposed questions and content were developed by the external expert with input from the CME unit. A total of three focus group sessions, with duration of 3 hours each, was determined to be adequate for data collection. The participants were selected from the CME unit's stakeholders. The process was conducted over a period of 6 months in 2007. The three groups consisted of the Advisory Committee on Continuing Medical Education including all the CME directors from the 22 university departments. The second group included the basic and clinical chairs from these departments, and the third group was a mix of community members, university administrators, and physicians who had used the services of the CME unit. The first group had 9 participants out of an invited 30, the second group had 7 participants out of 21, and the third group had 7 out of 20. A formal invitation via e mail and letter was sent to each participant member of the group seeking their participation. The invitation described the purpose, goals, and objectives for conducting these focus group sessions. All the groups received material to read before the sessions. The material included an update on the CME unit since its inception. The group sessions were taped and transcribed by an external agency, and collected data were forwarded to the external consultant for analysis and reporting.
Estudio de la capacidad portante del suelo del centro poblado Santa Rosa de Cumbaza en el distrito de Tarapoto
Year: 2018

The following research titled as "Study of soil carrying capacity in Santa Rosa Village Center in the District of Tarapoto" was developed with the purpose of studying, identifying and evaluating the types of soils that exist in the urban area of said Painted Center and determine its carrying capacity, to be used in building constructions, looking for practical and scientific solutions to the problem of building without knowing the real behavior of the soil, avoiding settlement and deterioration of the buildings, affecting the omato and therefore the quality of life of the users, among others. Applying for this the fundamental concepts of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnics, said study was based on the results obtained after having executed the respective exploration and soil sampling indicated in the Standard E050 of the National Regulation of Buildings and laboratory tests of moisture content limits of consistency (atterberg) granulometric analysis, field density, direct cutting and classification of soils, taking into account the established norms in force, likewise these tests have allowed to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the foundation soil, as well as the type of soil and its characteristics. Soils were classified by the SUCS method, which indicates the presence of soils of fine granulometry throughout the sector divided into soils of fine granulometry of clayey type CL and CH, and fine grained granulometry soils of type SM SC and SM, with a low to medium percentage of humidity, Two well defined geotechnical zones have been determined, called Zone I and Zone II, which are delimited in Zone I by C 01, C 02, C 03, C 05, C 06, C 09, C 10, C 14, C 15, C 16, C 17 and C 18, in Zone II by C 04, C 07, C 08, C 11, C 12 and C 13, C 19 and C 20, the allowable capacity in Zone I with a foundation depth of 1.50 meters and a foundation width of 1.00 meters is between 0.74 to 0.80 Kg cm2 with an average allowable capacity of 0.77 kg cm2 or 7.70 tn m2, the allowable capacity in Zone II with a foundation depth of 1.50 meters and a foundation width of 1.00 meters is between 1.39 to 1.90 Kg cm2 with an average allowable capacity of 1.65 kg cm2 or 16.50 tn m2.
