Abstract:

The performance benefits of adopting an external relative to an internal focus of attention have been demonstrated for many different targeting and balance tasks. No study has examined attentional focus effects for interceptive motor skills. Also, the majority of studies have used adult participants. In this study, children (mean age: 8.75 years, SD=0.79; 15 girls, 9 boys) were required to catch tennis balls in the frontal plane under the external focus (EF), internal focus (IF), and control (Cont) conditions. Participants were asked to stand behind a yellow line (2 × 100 cm), 15 m apart from a tennis ball throwing machine. In a within-participant design, participants performed 10 trials under each IF (“concentrate on your hands”), EF (“concentrate on the ball”), or Cont (no focus instructions) conditions. The order of conditions was counterbalanced. Performance data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures on attentional focus conditions (internal, external, and control) (alpha=.05). Catching performance was significantly different and more effective in the EF (M=1.53, SD=0.25) than in the IF (M=1.39, SD=0.35) condition, while both EF and IF were not significantly different from the Cont (M=1.49, SD=0.28) condition. The current findings suggest that the external focus of attention is more beneficial, compared to the internal focus, to motor performance of an interceptive skill in children.

Abstract:

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of external compression with blood flow restriction on power output and bar velocity changes during the back-squat exercise (SQ). The study included 10 judo athletes (age = 28.4 ± 5.8 years; body mass = 81.3 ± 13.1 kg; SQ one-repetition maximum (1-RM) 152 ± 34 kg; training experience 10.7 ± 2.3 years). Methods: The experiment was performed following a randomized crossover design, where each participant performed three different exercise protocols: (1) control, without external compression (CONT); (2) intermittent external compression with pressure of 100% arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) (EC-100); and (3) intermittent external compression with pressure of 150% AOP (EC-150). To assess the differences between conditions, the participants performed 3 sets of 3 repetitions of the SQ at 70% 1-RM. The differences in peak power output (PP), mean power output (MP), peak bar velocity (PV), and mean bar velocity (MV) between the three conditions were examined using repeated measures two-way ANOVA. Results: The post hoc analysis for the main effect of conditions showed a significant increase in PP (p = 0.03), PV (p = 0.02), MP (p = 0.04), and MV (p = 0.03), for the EC-150, compared to the CONT. Furthermore, a statistically significant increase in PP (p = 0.04), PV (p = 0.03), MP (p = 0.02), and MV (p = 0.01) were observed for the EC-150 compared to EC-100. There were no significant changes in PP, PV, MP, and MV, between EC-100 and CONT conditions. Conclusion: The results indicate that the use of extremely high-pressure external compression (150% AOP) during high-loaded (70% 1-RM) lower limb resistance exercise elicits an acute increase in power output and bar velocity.

"Lack of protective effect of oral enprostil, a synthetic prostaglandin E2, on intestinal transport and morphology following abdominal irradiation in the rat."

Abstract:

Previous studies have demonstrated that abdominal irradiation alters intestinal uptake of nutrients. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an orally administered synthetic prostaglandin E2, enprostil, given on three occasions shortly prior to a single exposure to 600 cGy external abdominal irradiation, on intestinal active and passive transport processes and villus morphology measured 7 days later. Animals were sham-irradiated (CONT) or were exposed to a single dose of 600 cGy external abdominal irradiation (RAD); two and one mornings before the day of irradiation or sham irradiation, and 1 h before irradiation or sham irradiation enprostil was administered. One half of CONT and RAD groups were dosed orally with enprostil, 5 μg/kg body weight, and the other half of the CONT and RAD groups were dosed with placebo. Seven days later the in vitro uptake of glucose, galactose, long-chain fatty acids, and cholesterol was determined in the four groups (CONT with and without enprostil, and RAD with and without enprostil). In CONT, enprostil was associated with increased jejunal uptake of glucose and ileal uptake of galactose. In RAD given enprostil, there was increased jejunal uptake of galactose but reduced ileal uptake of glucose and galactose. The expected radiation-associated decline in jejunal galactose uptake was prevented with enprostil. In CONT given enprostil, there was increased jejunal uptake of fatty acid (FA) 14:0 and 16:0 but reduced uptake of FA 18:0, 18:1, and 18:2; enprostil had no effect on lipid uptake in the ileum in CONT. Enprostil had a different effect in RAD, with reduced jejunal uptake of FA 14:0; 16:0, 18:0, 18:3, and cholesterol and reduced ileal uptake of FA 16:0, 18:1, 18:2, 18:3, and cholesterol. Enprostil was associated with a reduced jejunal mucosal surface area in CONT and a reduced ileal mucosal surface area in RAD. The irradiation-associated decline in body weight was not observed in animals given enprostil despite the lack of change in food intake. The alterations in nutrient uptake were not due to differences in food intake, weight change, or mucosal surface area. Thus, enprostil given on three occasions just before a single dose of abdominal irradiation was associated with increased intestinal uptake of galactose, but failed to prevent most of the other irradiation-associated changes in active and passive intestinal transport, and accentuated rather than prevented the irradiation-associated diminution in mucosal surface area.Key words: adaptation, cholesterol, fatty acids, galactose, glucose, ileum, jejunum.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to compare the muscle activity between the sling shot assisted (SS) and control (CONT) flat barbell bench press for selected external loads of 70%, 85%, 100% one-repetition maximum (1RM). Ten resistance-trained men participated in the study (age = 22.2 ± 1.9 years, body mass = 88.7 ± 11.2 kg, body height = 179.5 ± 4.1, 1RM in the bench press = 127.25 ± 25.86 kg, and strength training experience = 6 ± 2.5 years). Evaluation of peak muscle activity of the dominant body side was carried out using surface electromyography (sEMG) recorded for the triceps brachii, pectoralis major, and anterior deltoid during each attempt. The three-way repeated measure ANOVA revealed statistically significant main interaction for condition x muscle group (p < 0.01; η2 = 0.569); load x muscle group (p < 0.01; η2 = 0.709); and condition x load (p < 0.01; η2 = 0.418). A main effect was also observed for condition (p < 0.01; η2 = 0.968); load (p < 0.01; η2 = 0.976); and muscle group (p < 0.01; η2 = 0.977). The post hoc analysis for the main effect of the condition indicated statistically significant decrease in %MVIC for the SS compared to CONT condition (74.9 vs. 88.9%MVIC; p < 0.01; ES = 0.39). The results of this study showed that using the SS significantly affects the muscle activity pattern of the flat bench press and results in its acute decrease in comparison to an equal load under CONT conditions. The SS device may be an effective tool both in rehabilitation and strength training protocols by increasing stability with a reduction of muscular activity of the prime movers.

Abstract:

External municipal financial control bodies based on the existing models of the evaluating the effec-tiveness of their activities. The authors of this article have developed the model of the effectiveness of the external municipal financial control bodies, composed of complex criteria for control and expert-analytical activities, including the system of indicators for comprehensive assessment of performance, efficiency, intensity and dynamism of the activities of external municipal financial control bodies. The features of the activities of the external municipal financial control bodies of the different subjects of the Russian Federation, their powers, scale and differences in the level of economic development, quantitative results of the activities, the quality of external municipal financial cont-rol, as well as scientific approaches of Russian and foreign authors were taken into account. In order to exclude the impact on the comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of the external municipal financial control bodies of the dimension of indicators, the method was chosen for normalizing the values of indicators relative to the highest and lowest values, with the conversion of the values of indicators to the point scale in the range from 1 to 10. The convo-lution of point values of indicators into the complex criterion is carried out on the basis of normalization of the sum of actual point values relative to the sum of the maximum possible point value of the indicator. On the basis of complex criteria, generalized criterion for the effectiveness of the external municipal financial control bodies is determined; it is calculated as the geometric weighted average of complex criteria. For the purpose of analyzing the effectiveness of the external municipal financial control bodies, the discriminant function divides them into more or less effective ones.

Full text

Abstract:

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this study is to propose and test a model in which perceived barriers to technology integration are handled within a broad framework. It can be argued that the proposed model will have the dynamics to examine the studies performed on technology integration in a generic way and to have an important place in explaining the technology barriers at individual and school level under internal and external barriers. This can then be used to minimize such barriers and facilitate technology integration. Background: As seen in previous studies, barriers constitute a complex structure that is encountered in almost every environment for different reasons, affects the teaching-learning process, and contains several variables under primary and secondary barriers. It is thought that exploring this complex structure plays a key role in technology integration. In many studies, it is observed that the barriers are addressed as internal and external aspects but work on such aspects is quite limited. Methodology: Based on the convenience sampling method, the research was planned and conducted in accordance with the relational survey model. A structural regression model was used to examine the barriers that teachers perceive in technology integration. The sample of the study involved 449 teachers working in different branches at nine public schools in the academic year of 2018-2019 at the city center of Kirsehir province, and they participated on a voluntary basis. The number of teachers in the research sample corresponds to 73% of the total number of teachers in Kirsehir. Contribution: The contribution to the literature is proposing and testing a model which can be used to measure technological barriers in technology integration in education considering internal and external factors with a large perspective and holistically. Findings: The findings of the structural regression model used in this study showed that beliefs towards learning-teaching activities (BLTA), beliefs towards the expert support (BES), technological self-efficacy beliefs (TSEB), family resistance (FR), assessment (ASSES), and pedagogical self-efficacy beliefs (PSEB) are located under internal barriers and that lack of vision (LV), lack of money (LM), lack of training (LT), infrastructure (INF), content (CONT), and time (TIME) are all part of external factors. Furthermore, the results showed that external barriers affect the internal barriers directly and positively. Finally, it was observed that beliefs towards change (BC) and lack of leadership (LL) had no effect on internal or external barriers. Recommendations for Practitioners: As the findings of this study were discussed under internal and external barriers to technology integration, the results of the study could shed a light for managers, teachers or candidate teachers within the framework of “technology integration.” The identification of barriers in different settings should be used as the first step in minimizing the impact of such barriers in technology integration in education. Recommendation for Researchers: The work done can form the basis of investigating the impacts of latest technology on education, and necessary dimensions on the technology integration within the context of internal and external factors in the classroom or in a virtual learning environment for further research. Findings should then be used to aid technology integration in education. Impact on Society: The effective and successful technology integration may be reached by minimizing the barriers identified. Future Research: Future research can investigate technological barriers with reference to external variables (e.g., motivation, acceptance, satisfaction) using the developed scale. The findings can then be used to eliminate the barriers and facilitate technology integration.

Abstract:

The present in vitro study evaluated a new drill design to improve the temperature control during the osteotomies for dental implant installation, comparing with two drill designs that use conventional external irrigation. Three blocks of synthetic cortical bone were used for osteotomy procedures. Three groups were created: control group 1 (Con1), where a conical multiple drill system with a conventional external irrigation system was used; control group 2 (Con2), where a single bur with a conventional external irrigation system was used; and, test group (Test), where the new single bur (turbo drill) with a new irrigation system was used. Twenty osteotomies were made without irrigation and with intense irrigation, for each group. A thermocouple was used to measure the temperature produced during the osteotomies. The measured temperature were: 28.9 ± 1.68 °C for group Con1; 27.5 ± 1.32 °C for group Con2; 26.3 ± 1.28 °C for group Test. Whereas, the measured temperatures with irrigation were: 23.1 ± 1.27 °C for group Con1; 21.7 ± 1.36 °C for group Con2; 19.4 ± 1.29 °C for group Test. The single drill with a new design for improving the irrigation and temperature control, in comparison with the drill designs with conventional external irrigation.

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate whether a single injection of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2-loaded artificial collagen-like peptide gel (rhBMP-2/ACG) accelerates consolidation at the bone defect site and bone union at the docking site in a mouse segmental bone transport (SBT) model. A critical sized bone defect (2 mm) was created in the femur of mice and subsequently reconstructed using SBT with an external fixator. Mice were divided into four treatment groups: Group CONT (immobile control), Group 0.2 (bone segments moved 0.2 mm/day for 10 days), Group 1.0 (bone segments moved 1.0 mm/day for 2 days), and Group 1.0/BMP-2 (rhBMP-2/ACG injected into the bone defect and segments moved 1.0 mm/day for 2 days). Consolidation at the bone defect site and bone union at the docking site was evaluated radiologically and histologically across eight weeks. Bone volume and bone mineral content were significantly higher in Group 0.2 than in Group 1.0. Group 0.2 showed evidence of rebuilding of the medullary canal eight weeks after surgery at the bone defect site. However, in Group 1.0, maturation of regenerative bone at the bone defect site was poor, with the central area between the proximal and distal bone composed mainly of masses of fibrous and adipose tissue. Group 1.0/BMP-2 had higher bone volume and bone mineral content compared to Group 1.0, and all mice achieved bone union at the bone defect and docking sites. Single injection of rhBMP-2/ACG combined with SBT may be effective for enhancing bone healing in large bone defects.

Abstract:

This paper aims to examine the influence of ring stiffener reinforcement on the buckling behavior of cone-cylinder intersection subjected to external pressure. Three different stiffener locations were analyzed; they are (i) cone-cylinder intersection, (ii) cone mid-section, and (iii) cylinder mid-section. Internal and external stiffeners are used in the study. Buckling strength of the stiffened cone-cylinder intersections were obtained with the aid of FE analyses for all the cases above. Cone-cylinder intersections are modelled as elastic-perfectly plastic of Hiduminium alloy (HE-15). Validations of the present results with the published experimental data were presented. Result indicates that the introduction of stiffener reinforcement in externally pressurized cone-cylinder intersections seemed to be desirable in a preliminary design process, thus promotes a stronger shell to resist buckling.

Abstract:

As reabsorções dentárias associadas ao tratamento ortodôntico são as reabsorções apicais externas inflamatórias; as demais têm outras causas relacionadas e são simultâneas e/ou coincidentes. No entanto, em pleno andamento do tratamento ortodôntico, a reabsorção cervical externa pode estar presente em duas outras situações que podem ser associadas ao tratamento em si, apesar de induzidas por procedimentos cirúrgicos solicitados ao cirurgião bucomaxilofacial: 1) o preparo cirúrgico para tracionamento ortodôntico, pela manipulação do folículo pericoronário; e 2) a exodontia de dentes íntegros como parte do planejamento e tratamento ortodôntico. A reabsorção cervical externa é comum e, muitas vezes, confundida com a abfração ou cárie de colo. Ela é recoberta ou “escondida” por tecido gengival normal e até sutilmente inflamado, enquanto a cárie de colo e a abfração se encontram expostas nas superfícies coronárias e voltadas diretamente para a cavidade bucal.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The treatment of external root resorption and associated periodontal defect can be challenging to the most ingenious clinician. A correct diagnosis and an understanding of the etiology and dynamics of root resorption, which is the progressive loss of dentin and cementum through action of osteoclastic cells, are critical for effective management. The article describes the management of an external root resorption in maxillary central incisor where a combined endo-perio management strategy was implemented. Cone beam computed tomography was used as an adjunctive diagnostic aid. A combined approach using biodentine for root surface repair, bone graft, collagen membrane, and platelet-rich fibrin to address the associated osseous lesion appears to be viable modality in treatment of the same. After a follow-up period of 12 months, the patient was found to be asymptomatic. Postoperative radiographs also demonstrated satisfactory bone fill and arrest of the resorptive lesion.

Abstract:

Otitis externa (OE) is an external microbial Meatus acousticus (MAE) infection due to damage to the normal MAE serumen skin coat that protects and maintains MAE moisture and temperature. Living in the warm and humid tropics, a decrease in skin pH due to activity in the water including swimming, and excess cerumen cleaning are predisposing factors for OE. The use of antibiotics locally concentrated in OE can not only attack pathogenic microbes but also have an impact on normal flora so that it has the potential to cause resistant microbes. Honey has anti-bacterial properties without the risk of resistance and has even been shown to modulate immunity and inflammation. Various invivo and invitro studies prove that honey has broad spectrum anti-bacterial activity. Honey is proven invitro to modulate immunity by affecting the release of various inflammatory cytokines. This shows that honey has the potential for OE therapy. This article aims to discuss the potential of honey as a topical OE therapy in the hope that it can be an alternative choice of therapy in the management of OE in humans that is safe, effective, and efficient.

Abstract:

4571 Background: In phase II studies ECF with 5- FU inf. resulted in response rates (RR) > 50 %. Despite high responses the potential drawback of ECF may be the poor patient’s (pts) acceptability of the indwelling catheter and external infusion pump and related complications: sepsis, catheter-related infections, shoulder pain, thrombosis and pneumothorax. Capecitabin can maintain a constant level of 5- FU without complications and inconvenience associated with central venous access. The aim was to compare the efficacy and safety ECF versus ECX. Secondary endpoint was overall survival. Methods: Pts with histological proven, previously untreated advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, >18 years, ECOG performance status 0- 2 and adequate organ and hematological function were randomized to ECF or ECX. In ECF epidoxorubicin 50 mg/m2 and cisplatin 60 mg/m2 were administrated on day 1 by i.v., 5- FU 200 mg/m2/day was administrated by cont. inf. day 1- 14 of each cycle. Cycle was repeated every 3 weeks. In ECX epidoxorubicin 50 mg/m2 and cisplatin 60 mg/m2 were administrated on day 1 by i.v., capecitabin 825 mg/m2 twd was administrated orally day 1- 14. Cycle was repeated every 3 weeks. Results: Seventy- one pts were enrolled in this study between Jan 03 to Dec 05. Male 80 %, median age 56 yrs (40- 77). Thirty pts received ECF and 41 pts received ECX . All pts were assessable for responses and toxicity. The overall clinical RR were 45 % including 12.9 % partial responses (PR) and 6.4 % complete responses (CR) in ECF group and 69 % including 21.4 % PR and 4.7 % CR in ECX group. Median OS and TTP were 8.8 months (mos) ± 7.8 and 6.0 mos ± 4.4 in ECF group and 10.5 mos ± 7.2 and 7.0 mos ± 4.6 in ECX group respectively. The most frequent grade ¾ side effects graded according to CTCAE - 3 were fatigue - 20 % in ECF group and 19.5 % in ECX group, hematological (neutropenia) - 16 % in ECF group and 4.8 % in ECX group, nausea - 10 % in ECF group and 7.3 % in ECX group, diarrhea - 2.4 % in ECX group, hand- foot syndrome - 2.4 % in ECX group. Conclusions: ECX is at least effective as ECF with less toxic pattern and more convenient for pts and could replace ECF in first- line therapy in pts with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

The proposed research and application programme can be seen as a text-constitutive programme, which enables the user to appeal to computerized information, while planning, formulating and revising a particular writing task. The computerized information is stored in interactive modules, i.e. 1) a CONST-specific thesaurus and an adapted version of the electronic Van DALE 12 dictionary, 2) an algorithmic framework, actualized by a number of question-packages regarding business texts and memos, and 3) a set of corresponding predefined and ad hoc constructed structural descriptions. Important topics of research are the symmetric internal and external electronic communication links inside and between the various modules, as for example the internal link between the two thesauri or the external links between structural description, question-package and thesauri. What can be demonstrated, is a prototypical framework, in which each CONST-component is represented properly and in which the various communication links have been actualized.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The φX174 external scaffolding protein D mediates the assembly of coat protein pentamers into procapsids. There are four external scaffolding subunits per coat protein. Organized as pairs of asymmetric dimers, the arrangement is unrelated to quasi-equivalence. The external scaffolding protein contains seven α-helices. The protein's core, α-helices 2 to 6, mediates the vast majority of intra- and interdimer contacts and is strongly conserved in all Microviridae (canonical members are φX174, G4, and α3) external scaffolding proteins. On the other hand, the primary sequences of the first α-helices have diverged. The results of previous studies with α3/φX174 chimeric external scaffolding proteins suggest that α-helix 1 may act as a substrate specificity domain, mediating the initial coat scaffolding protein recognition in a species-specific manner. However, the low sequence conservation between the two phages impeded genetic analyses. In an effort to elucidate a more mechanistic model, chimeric external scaffolding proteins were constructed between the more closely related phages G4 and φX174. The results of biochemical analyses indicate that the chimeric external scaffolding protein inhibits two morphogenetic steps: the initiation of procapsid formation and DNA packaging. φX174 mutants that can efficiently utilize the chimeric protein were isolated and characterized. The substitutions appear to suppress both morphogenetic defects and are located in threefold-related coat protein sequences that most likely form the pores in the viral procapsid. These results identify coat-external scaffolding domains needed to initiate procapsid formation and provide more evidence, albeit indirect, that the pores are the site of DNA entry during the packaging reaction.

Abstract:

We have examined the relationship of externally accessible proteins associated with the internal cytoskeleton of procyclic Trypanosoma brucei. Two approaches were taken. First, externally disposed glycoproteins were identified with lectins and examined for their persistence and location in isolated cytoskeletons. Second, proteins containing tyrosine residues available for chemical modification on the outer surface were identified in isolated cytoskeletons and probed for glycosylation. The procyclic form of T. brucei that was employed does not express the variable surface glycoprotein. The lectin concanavalin A (ConA) bound to the outer surface of T. brucei in two discrete locations; one a narrow line close to the flagellum attachment zone on the cell body, the other at the distal tip of the flagellum itself. Of these, only the cell body labelling was detected when isolated cytoskeletons were probed with fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled ConA. When cytoskeletons were prepared from cells labelled with gold-conjugated ConA, a narrow line of label was detected parallel to the flagellum attachment zone but was distinct from it. Only one cytoskeletal protein, of Mr 88,000, could be labelled at the cell surface by the 125I/iodogen procedure. This protein could be precipitated from SDS-solubilized cytoskeletons with ConA-agarose. These data indicate the existence of a previously undetected cytoskeletal structure, situated in the cell body, close to the point of flagellum attachment, which has a transmembrane association with an external Mr 88,000 glycoprotein.

Abstract:

In many circles, brown coal continues to be viewed as a cheap source of energy, resulting in numerous investments in new opencast brown coal mines. Such a perception of brown coal energy is only possible if the external costs associated with mining and burning coal are not considered. In past studies, external cost analysis has focused on the external costs of coal burning and associated emissions. This paper focuses on the extraction phase and assesses the external costs to agriculture associated with the resulting depression cone. This paper discusses the difficulties researchers face in estimating agricultural losses resulting from the development of a depression cone due to opencast mineral extraction. In the case of brown coal, the impacts are of a geological, natural-climatic, agricultural-productive, temporal, and spatial nature and result from a multiplicity of interacting factors. Then, a methodology for counting external costs in crop production was proposed. The next section estimates the external costs of crop production arising from the operation of opencast mines in the Konin-Turek brown coal field, which is located in central Poland. The analyses conducted showed a large decrease in grain and potato yields and no effect of the depression cone on sugar beet levels. Including the estimated external costs in the cost of producing electricity from mined brown coal would significantly worsen the profitability of that production.

Abstract:

Objective: To compare differences in setup error assessment and correction between planar kilovolt images and cone beam computed tomography images for external beam partial breast irradiation during free breathing. Methods: Nineteen patients who received external beam partial breast irradiation after breast-conserving surgery were recruited. Interfraction setup error was acquired using planar kilovolt images and cone beam computed tomography. After online setup correction, the residual error was calculated, and the setup error was compared. The residual error and setup margin were quantified for planar kilovolt and cone beam computed tomography images. Results: The largest setup error was observed in the anteroposterior direction for both cone beam computed tomography and planar kilovolt imaging (−1.45 mm, 1.74 mm). The cone beam computed tomography–based setup error (systematic error [Σ]) was less than the planar kilovolt images based on Σ in the anteroposterior direction (–1.2 mm vs 2.00 mm; P = .005), and no significant differences were observed for random error (σ) in 3 dimensions ( P = .948, .376, .314). After online setup correction, cone beam computed tomography significantly reduced the residual setup error compared with planar kilovolt images in the anteroposterior direction (Σ: −0.20 mm vs 0.50 mm, P = .008; σ: 0.45 mm vs 1.34 mm, P = .002). The cone beam computed tomography–based setup margin was smaller than the planar kilovolt image-based setup margin in the anteroposterior direction (−1.39 mm vs 5.57 mm, P = .003; 0.00 mm vs 3.20 mm, P = .003). Conclusions: Discrepancy between the setup errors observed with planar kilovolt and cone beam computed tomography was obvious in the anteroposterior direction. Compared to cone beam computed tomography, the elapsed treatment time was smaller when the initial alignment used kilovolt planar imaging. Whether using planar kilovolt or cone beam computed tomography, residual errors can be reduced to 1.5 mm for external beam partial breast irradiation procedures.

Abstract:

This research analyzes the thermal and strain behavior of external thermal insulation cladding systems (ETICS) with Glazed Hollow Beads (GHB) thermal insulation mortar under hygrothermal cycles weather test in order to measure its durability under extreme weather (i.e., sunlight and rain). Thermometers and strain gauges are placed into different wall layers to gather thermal and strain data and another instrument measures the crack dimensions after every 4 cycles. The results showed that the finishing coat shrank at early stage (elastic deformation) and then the finishing coat tends to expand and become damaged at later stage (plastic deformation). The deformation of insulation layer is similar to that of the finishing coat but its variation amplitude is smaller. Deformation of substrate expanded with heat and contracted with cold due to the small temperature variation. The length and width of cracks on the finishing coat grew as the experiment progressed but with a decreasing growth rate and the cracks stopped growing around 70 cycles.

Relationships between external cone characteristics (length, width, wet and dry mass), cone quality (total seed mass as a proportion of cone mass, total number of seeds per cone, total seed mass per cone), and number of cones in caches were evaluated for caches of jack pine (Pinus banksiana) cones belonging to red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) in two plantations in southern New Brunswick. Cone length and mass were good predictors of the total number of seeds per cone and total seed mass per cone. Length accounted for a small proportion of the variance of total seed mass as a proportion of cone mass. There was no relationship between the number of seeds or total seed mass per cone and the number of cones per cache.

Abstract:

This study examined the effect of individually tailoring an external focus reference point in line with ability on standing long jump (SLJ) performance. Twenty-one female Division III hockey players (ages 18–23 years) performed two SLJs under 4 attentional focus conditions: (a) no focus provided (control), (b) focused on rapid knee extension (internal); (c) focused on jumping as close as possible to a cone placed at 3 m (external far), and (d) focused on jumping as far as possible past a cone placed, unbeknownst to them, at the maximum distance achieved on their last SLJ test, recorded during team testing at an earlier date (attainable). Findings were consistent with the literataure in that instructions that induced an external versus internal focus of attention resulted in significantly longer jumping distances. In addition, horizontal displacement was significantly longer when participants adopted an external focus of attention toward an attainable distance goal versus all other conditions. Results suggest that for goal-oriented movements that require maximum effort, individualizing the distance of an external focus of attention according to capability enhances its effect.

Full text

Abstract:

The egg envelope (zona radiata) of the full-grown oocytes before fertilization was examined by electron microscope in eight viviparous species of Goodeidae (Cyprinodontiformes) from the Mexican plateau. The egg envelope is composed of a homogeneous electron-dense zona radiata perforated mainly by oocyte microvilli. The thickness of the zona radiata ranged from 0.5 μm (Xenoophorus captivus) to 1.5 μm (Ameca splendens). Egg envelopes of Ataeniobius toweri and Ilyodon xantusi appeared to have two layers, tentatively described as a zona radiata interna and a zona radiata externa. The most complex envelope was observed in Girardinichthys multiradiatus, which showed a small filamentous zona radiata interna and an electron-dense zona radiata externa covered by an additional flocculent layer, which is probably the gelatinous coat found in many eggs. The egg envelope of Ameca splendens, Girardinichthys viviparus, and Xenotoca eiseni displayed short external processes resembling attaching filaments, which are known from eggs of substrate-spawning teleosts. The thickness and differentiation of the zona radiata in other viviparous teleosts are compared and discussed with reference to mode of reproduction.

Full text

Abstract:

Fire-retardant performance was imparted to the existing wood-fiber insulation boards (WIB) via internal and external treatment with silica- and phosphorus-based fire-retardants. The combustion and smoke characteristics were investigated using a cone calorimeter. Based on combustion for 600 s, the weight loss and shrinkage of WIBs decreased due to fire-retardant treatment. The time to ignition was delayed to more than 400 s on the WIBs treated internal and external fire- retardant (WIB-IEs), whereas that of WIB with only internal treatment (WIB-I) was 5 s. The overall heat release rate (HRR), HRRpeak, and total heat release (THR) of WIB-IE specimens decreased, and the fire resistance standard Class II was satisfied. The WIB-IE2 showed higher fire resistance performance, with a HRRmean level of 6.7 kW/m2 and a THR of 1.3 MJ/m2. The WIB-I showed extremely low total smoke release (TSR) compared to the external fire-retardant treated specimen. However, the externally treated WIB-IEs had an increased TSR of 165 to 256 m2/m2 due to the increase in incomplete combustion caused by the fire-retardant. After fire-retardant treatment, CO2 generation decreased because the rate of complete combustion decreased, but CO emission increased slightly. Therefore, silica- and phosphorus-based fire-retardants by internal and external treatments were suitable for WIBs.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objective: This study evaluated two implant-abutment connection systems under immediate loading of lower prosthesis in edentulous mandibles. Methods: Seventy-two implants placed in 18 patients were analyzed. The parameters evaluated included probing depth, stability of implants and perimplant bone loss, which were measured immediately when installing the prosthesis and after 3 and 6 months. All data underwent statistical analysis (T-Test and ANOVA, 5% significance level). Results: Implants with Morse cone connections showed smaller, statistically significant probing depth values for all periods (0.68/1.19/1.31), when compared to the external hexagon connections (1.08/1.52/1.64). A statistically significant difference was observed between baseline, 3 months (p<0.01 for Morse cone; p<0.001 for external hexagon) and 6 months (p<0.001 for both connections). When periods were considered there was a statistically significant difference in Implant Stability Quotient ISQ values between baseline and 6 months for both prosthetic connections. Conclusion: Immediate loading of the lower prosthesis is a viable option for the treatment of edentulous mandibles and that the external hexagon or Morse cone connections do not interfere with the success of the implants in a short-term evaluation.

Fast Ignition (FI) attracts much attention owing to its advantages. The fabrication of fast ignition targets is one of the key technologies in FI study. Based on the single point diamond turning (SPDT) technology, Diamond post-turning method is adopted in this paper for the fabrication of gold cone. It not only helps to reduce the end-effect of cone mandrel and consequently improve the coaxiality of internal and external cone surface, but also helps to improve the quality of cone surface and the wall thickness consistency. Besides, the processing parameter of diamond post-turning is experimentally studied in this paper for its effect on the cone surface roughness. According to results, the cone surface roughness is Ra 9.21nm, the wall thickness consistency is 3μm and the cone end surface roughness is Ra5.72nm。

Abstract:

Abstract This report describes the isolation and characterization of second-site suppressors of a cold-sensitive (cs) external scaffolding protein, gpD, of bacteriophage phi X174. Seven genetically distinct suppressors were isolated. Six of them are located in gene F which encodes the major coat protein of the virus. The seventh is located in gene J which encodes the DNA-binding protein. A subset of the suppressors are trans-acting. These second-site suppressors do not exhibit allele specificity; they are able to suppress defects associated with a csD protein for which they were not selected. The initial characterization of the second-site suppressors and their locations within the major coat protein suggest that the mechanism of suppression may involve both structural and stoichiometric phenomena.

Abstract:

AbstractIn order to know the characteristics of reducing the exhaust gas infrared signal of the lobed mixer according to the external air mixing ratio, an infrared signal and temperature distribution measurement using a micro-turbojet engine is performed. A certain amount of compressed air is supplied through an external duct mounted on the micro-turbojet engine exhaust to simulate bypass flow, which is mixed with high-temperature core air and ejected to the atmosphere. The exhaust nozzle used in the experiment is a lobed mixer with a lobe of sinusoidal shape and is designed to have a penetration of 0.2. Exhaust gas temperature and infrared signal are measured according to distance from nozzle outlet under conditions of bypass ratio of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.4. Infrared reduction rates are compared to data without compressed air supply. As a result of the experiment, as the bypass ratio increased, the infrared signal of the exhaust gas and the temperature decrease with bypass ratio increase, and in the case of a bypass ratio of 1.4, the effect of reducing the temperature is observed even at a long distance. In addition, we compared the results of previous studies of a simple cone shape without mixer with infrared reduction effect. The results show that the lobed mixer has a greater effect on reducing the temperature of the exhaust gas and reducing the infrared signal than the cone nozzle. The structure of the mixed jet flow is also studied through Schlieren visualisation and 3D temperature distribution.

Increase in durability the piercing mandrels is evaluated as 1,3–4,3 times when using calibration of cone-shaped rolls with a smaller corner of an output cone. Improvement of quality of external surface of produced pipes was made due to application of experimental ring calibration of rolls. It is shown that this calibration demands big expenses of energy at the piercing.

Abstract:

Under external electric field, a free standing silicene monolayer is investigated for the physical and electronic features using the density functional theory with norm-conserving pseudopotentials and pseudo-atomic localized basis functions. It is found that silicene tends to be flat instead of buckled as applying electric field perpendicular to the surface. We observed on some range magnitude of electric field and noticed that there is a monotonic decreasing in number of DOS near the Fermi level showing the possibility of tunable bandgap on silicene. We also found that in this higher magnitude electric field, the Dirac cone is no longer occurring at K-point while the band gap term remains direct. The asymmetry onsite potential between the Si atom at site A and B spoils the degeneracy at the K point by the presence of external or internal influence. In this work, we try to combine those influences by considering Stone Wales (SW) defect and outer z-direction of electric field as internal and external factors respectively. A non-linear correlation of the result is profoundly becoming more effective way in effort to bring remarkable band-gap in silicene monolayer.

No caso brasileiro, a evidência é de solvência externa, mas sem diferença entre as taxas de retorno dos ativos e dos passivos externos.

Abstract:

Surface instability of a swirling liquid sheet emanating from a centrifugal injector in presence of external and internal gas flows is studied in this paper. A three-dimensional flow for the liquid sheet and two-dimensional flows for external and internal gas flows are considered. The set of equations involved in this analysis differs from the earlier analyzes. In previous studies, a cylindrical liquid sheet has been considered to implement the linear theory but in this study, the linear stability theory is implemented on a cone-shaped liquid sheet for different cone angles. Actually more over than axial and tangential movements, the radial movements of liquid sheet and gas flows are considered in the present model. Due to complexity of the derived governing equations, semi-analytical and numerical methods were applied to solve them. The case study is oxidizer injector of rocket engines. Implementation of linear stability theory on a hollow cone-shaped liquid sheet better can predict instability phenomenon than the general linear stability analysis for this type of liquid sheets. The results show very close agreement with available experimental data.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the effect of an existing façade’s construction (viz. clear/grey/solar film, with and without external shade) and orientation on the performance of low-e (hard coat)-based retrofit double glazing in a tropical climate. The performance of double-glazed façades is characterized by the ability to reduce solar heat gain and the consequent reduction in power consumption of air-conditioning systems. This study involves a real-life test-bedding of a low-e (hard coat)-based retrofit double-glazing façade for a few specific cases—clear glass southeast façade without shade, clear glass southwest façade with external shade, and northwest façade with solar film and external shade. Subsequently, energy modelling simulations were done to analyze other scenarios involving various combinations of façade orientation (north, south, west, and east) and façade material (clear glass, tinted grey glass, clear glass with solar film) with and without external sunshades. The east/west-facing façades had a higher impact on the retrofit solution, and more so when the existing façade was of tinted glass or with solar film. For the case analyzed, with a window-to-wall ratio of 8% (based on overall building envelope), a grey tinted east-facing façade could benefit from annual average HVAC energy savings of up to 5.9%.

Abstract:

Centrolobium robustum seed coat is made up of an external layer of macrosclereids and an internal layer of osteosclereids, followed by a layer of dead cells. The endosperm is closely united to the seed coat and is made up of up to three layers of living cells rich in lipid and protein bodies. All the embryonic cells that form the different tissues of the cotyledons and embryonic axis, including the apical meristematic tissues, are storage tissues since they accumulate mainly lipids and proteins, in the form of lipid and protein bodies, water-soluble polysaccharides, and starch. In the seed coat, lignin, simple phenols and hydrolysable tannins were chemically detected.
