Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe control of Salmonella from farm to fork is challenging because of the lack of symptoms on contaminated fresh produce and the limited effectiveness of control methods before and after harvest. Therefore, the identification of new antimicrobials effective against Salmonella is needed to improve food safety. In this study, we investigated the activity of four anti-Salmonella small molecules (SMs; SM1, SM3, SM4, and SM5) on tomato tissues contaminated with Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype Typhimurium (JSG626). No toxicity was detected on tomato seeds, seedlings, and fruits when tissues were treated with 200 μM SM. Moreover, SM1 and SM4 reduced (79 and 64%, respectively) the Salmonella Typhimurium population in tomato seedlings when sprayed on the leaves with two times the minimal bactericidal concentration (SM1 = 100 μM, SM3 and SM5 = 50 μM, and SM = 20 μM) at −1 and 3 days postinfection. The four SMs (200 μM) that have antagonistic effects on Salmonella had limited effect on the growth of beneficial plant bacteria (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain BA1 and Bacillus subtilis strain BS1, and Enterobacter sp. strain SM1796). SM1 and SM4, when combined with BA1 or SM1796, reduced the Salmonella Typhimurium population by at least 98.2% in tomato plants. The four SMs (at two times the minimal bactericidal concentration) also reduced the Salmonella Typhimurium population on the surface and inside contaminated green mature and ripe tomato fruits up to 95% after spraying or soaking the fruits in cold water for 30 min. The real-time in vivo imaging data showed that the stem abscission zone in fruits represents a major source of internalization and persistence of Salmonella Typhimurium against antimicrobials. The four SMs also displayed bactericidal effect on phytopathogens at 200 μM. This study demonstrates that these novel SMs could represent safe bactericides for control of Salmonella and phytopathogens in fresh produce and are compatible for use in combination with biocontrol agents.HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to reuse waste generated from mushroom farm called composted spent mushroom substrate (SMS) as casing material for the production of milky white mushroom. The production trial of milky white mushroom was conducted with five casing mixture viz. Loam soil + Sand (3:1) (farmer’s practice), SMS compost + Sand (3:1), Loam soil + SMS compost + Sand (2:1:1), Loam soil + SMS compost + FYM (1:1:1) and SMS compost + FYM (1:1). Results revealed the suitability of SMS to reuse as casing materials through composting. Casing treatments containing SMC alone or combination with sand (3:1) and soil + FYM (1:1:1) produced statistically similar yield which were statistically higher than farmer’s practice. Among these three treatments, pH, EC, particle density and organic carbon ranged between 7.16-7.82, 1.69-1.84 mmhos cm−1, 1.52-1.90 g cc−1 and 11.3%-15.8%, respectively. Below or above this range reduced the yield of milky white mushroom. SMC, SMC + Sand (3:1) and Soil + SMC + FYM (1:1:1) produced statistically similar yield but SMC and SMC + Sand (3:1) took shorter time to harvest than Soil + SMC + FYM (1:1:1). So, SMC or SMC + Sand (3:1) can be recommended to use as casing material.J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 15(2): 239-247, December 2017

Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to observe the performance of the composted spent mushroom substrate (SMS) along with chemical fertilizers on the yield, fruit quality and nutrient uptake by tomato plant for using the mushroom waste through composting. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with seven replications. Treatments were T1: no fertilizer and compost application (control), T2: recommended dose of fertilizers (RFD), T3: 25% SMC-N+ 75% fertilizer-N, T4: RFD + 2.5 t ha-1 SMC, T5: 50% SMC-N + 50% fertilizer-N, T6: 100% SMC-N and T7: 100% SMC-N + 50% fertilizer-N. Application of SMS compost at 2.5 t ha-1 along with recommended fertilizer dose showed the best performance for number of fruits, fruit yield, fruit quality (total protein, vitamin C, total sugar, reducing sugar) and nutrient uptake by tomato. This treatment showed significantly higher fruit yield, quality and nutrient uptake not only over control but also RFD, SMS compost alone and combination of SMS compost & RFD. Though SMS compost alone proved less effective, however combined application of SMS compost at 2.5 tha-1 with chemical fertilizer of recommended dose had shown to be more effective.Asian J. Med.

Abstract:
In smooth muscle cells (SMCs) isolated from rabbit carotid, femoral, and saphenous arteries, relative myosin isoform mRNA levels were measured in RT-PCR to test for correlations between myosin isoform expression and unloaded shortening velocity. Unloaded shortening velocity and percent smooth muscle myosin heavy chain 2 (SM2) and myosin light chain 17b (MLC17b) mRNA levels were not significantly different in single SMCs isolated from the luminal and adluminal regions of the carotid media. Saphenous artery SMCs shortened significantly faster ( P < 0.05) than femoral SMCs and had more SM2 mRNA ( P < 0.05) than carotid SMCs and less MLC17b mRNA ( P < 0.001) and higher tissue levels of SMB mRNA ( P < 0.05) than carotid and femoral SMCs. No correlations were found between percent SM2 and percent MLC17b mRNA levels and unloaded shortening velocity in SMCs from these arteries. We have previously shown that myosin heavy chain (MHC) SM1/SM2 and SMA/SMB and MLC17a/MLC17bisoform mRNA levels correlate with protein expression for these isoforms in rabbit smooth muscle tissues. Thus we interpret these results to suggest that 1) SMC myosin isoform expression and unloaded shortening velocity do not vary with distance from the lumen of the carotid artery but do vary in arteries located longitudinally within the arterial tree, 2) MHC SM1/SM2 and/or MLC17a/MLC17b isoform expression does not correlate with unloaded shortening velocity, and 3) intracellular expression of the MHC SM1/SM2 and MLC17a/MLC17b isoforms is not coregulated.

Abstract:
In the frame of an on-going 4-years research project, the Aviation Academy Safety Management Systems (AVAC-SMS) metric for the self-assessment of aviation Safety Management Systems (SMS) was designed based on the Safety Management Manual of the International Civil Aviation Organization and in cooperation with knowledge experts and aviation companies. The particular metric evaluates three areas, namely (1) the degree of institutionalisation of SMS (design and implementation of processes), (2) the extent of managers' capability to deliver the SMS processes, and (3) the employees' perceived effectiveness of the SMS-related deliverables. The metric concludes with a score per area and per SMS component/element assessed, and it is scalable to the size and complexity of each organisation. Results of a survey at 18 aviation companies did not show statistically significant differences in their SMS scores across all three assessment areas but revealed a distance between the area of Institutionalization and the areas of Capability and Effectiveness. Also, differences were detected regarding the scores per SMS component and element within and across companies and assessment areas. The various assessment options offered for the AVAC-SMS metric accommodates the resources each SME and large company can invest in the application of the metric. Even the lowest level of resolution of the SMS metric can trigger companies to investigate further their weaker areas and foster their SMS-related activities. Therefore, the AVAC-SMS metric is deemed useful to organisations that want to self-assess their SMS and proceed to comparisons amongst various functions and levels and/or over time.

Abstract:
Plant pathogenic bacteria in the genus Erwinia cause economically important diseases, including bacterial wilt of cucurbits caused by Erwinia tracheiphila. Conventional bactericides are insufficient to control this disease. Using high-throughput screening, 464 small molecules (SMs) with either cidal or static activity at 100 µM against a cucumber strain of E. tracheiphila were identified. Among them, 20 SMs (SM1 to SM20), composed of nine distinct chemical moiety structures, were cidal to multiple E. tracheiphila strains at 100 µM. These lead SMs had low toxicity to human cells and honey bees at 100 µM. No phytotoxicity was observed on melon plants at 100 µM, except when SM12 was either mixed with Silwet L-77 and foliar sprayed or when delivered through the roots. Lead SMs did not inhibit the growth of beneficial Pseudomonas and Enterobacter species but inhibited the growth of Bacillus species. Nineteen SMs were cidal to Xanthomonas cucurbitae and showed >50% growth inhibition against Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans. In addition, 19 SMs were cidal or static against Erwinia amylovora in vitro. Five SMs demonstrated potential to suppress E. tracheiphila when foliar sprayed on melon plants at 2× the minimum bactericidal concentration. Thirteen SMs reduced Et load in melon plants when delivered via roots. Temperature and light did not affect the activity of SMs. In vitro cidal activity was observed after 3 to 10 h of exposure to these five SMs. Here, we report 19 SMs that provide chemical scaffolds for future development of bactericides against plant pathogenic bacterial species.

Abstract:
Abstract Somatostatin, or its structural analog SMS 201–995 (SMS), is recognized to exert a growth-inhibitory action in rat pancreas, but the cellular mechanisms are not completely understood. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of SMS on p42/p44 MAP kinases and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation and to analyze expression of some cell cycle regulatory proteins in relation to pancreatic acinar cell proliferation in vivo (rat pancreas), as well as in the well-established tumoral cell line AR4–2J. We herein report that: 1) SMS inhibits caerulein-induced pancreatic weight and DNA content and abolishes epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated AR4–2J proliferation; 2) SMS only moderately reduces the stimulatory effect of caerulein on p42/p44 MAP kinase activities in pancreas and has no effect on EGF-stimulated MAP kinase activities in AR4–2J cells; 3) SMS repressed caerulein-induced Akt activity in normal pancreas; 4) SMS has a strong inhibitory action on cyclin E expression induced by caerulein in pancreas and EGF in AR4–2J cells and as expected, the resulting cyclin E-associated cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk)2 activity, as well as pRb phosphorylation, are blunted by SMS treatment in both models; and 5) SMS suppresses mitogen-induced p27Kip1 down-regulation, as well as marginally induces p21Cip expression. Thus, our data suggest that somatostatin-induced growth arrest is mediated by inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway and by enhanced expression of p21Cip and p27Kip1, leading to repression of pRb phosphorylation and cyclin E-cdk2 complex activity.

Abstract:
IntroductionShort message service (SMS) reminders coupled with a small monetary incentive conditioned on prompt vaccination have been shown to improve first-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV1) uptake. We assessed whether SMS reminders and unconditional monetary incentives—more amenable to programmatic implementation—can improve MCV1 uptake in Kenya.MethodsCaregivers of eligible infants aged 6–8 months were enrolled into an individually randomised controlled trial and assigned to receive either: no intervention (control), two SMS reminders (SMS) sent 3 days, and 1 day before the scheduled MCV1 date, or SMS reminders coupled with a Kenya Shilling (KES) 150 incentive (SMS +150 KES) sent 3 days before the scheduled MCV1 date. Study staff conducted a household follow-up visit at age 12 months to ascertain vaccination status. Log-binomial regression was used to estimate the relative and absolute difference in MCV1 timely coverage (by age 10 months), the primary outcome.ResultsBetween 6 December 2016 and 31 March 2017, 179 infants were enrolled into each of the three study arms. Follow-up visits were completed between 19 April 2017 and 8 October 2017 for control (n=170), SMS (n=157) and SMS + 150 KES (n=158) children. MCV1 timely coverage was 68% among control arm infants compared with 78% in each intervention arm. This represented a non-statistically significant increase in the SMS arm (adjusted relative risk 1.13; 95% CI 0.99 to 1.30; p=0.070; adjusted risk difference 9.2%; 95% CI: −0.6 to 19.0%; p=0.066), but a statistically significant increase in the SMS + 150 KES arm (1.16; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.32; p=0.035; 10.6%; 95% CI 0.8 to 20.3%; p=0.034).ConclusionThese findings suggest that the effect of SMS reminders coupled with a small unconditional monetary incentive on MCV1 uptake is comparable to that of SMS reminders alone, limiting their utility. Further studies in the absence of unexpected supply-side constraints are needed.Trial registration numberNCT02904642

Abstract:
<p class="Pa10">Samarium monosulfide SmS (Fm3m, а = 5.967 Å, ΔЕ = 0.23 V, n = 10<sup>20</sup> cm<sup>–1</sup>, <em>σ</em><em> </em>= 500 Ω<sup>–1</sup> cm<sup>–1</sup>, <em>α</em><em> </em>= 350 μВ/K) is a thermoelectric material (Z&gt;1) and, at the same time, a pressure-sensitive material (K≥40–50). Samarium monosulfide is a daltonide phase with a solid solution whose extent is mostly in the range of cationic vacancies: Sm<sub>1+x </sub>S<sub>1-x</sub>□<sub>2x</sub> (<em>x </em>= 0–0.035; 1750 K). The congruent melting temperature of SmS is 2475 K. In the Sm–S system, Sm<sub>3</sub>S<sub>4</sub> crystallizes from melt without change in composition. Samarium monosulfide thermally dissociates to Sm<sub>3</sub>S<sub>4</sub> and Sm. Large-scale SmS lots are produced from samarium and sulfur. Synthesis is carried out in sealed-off silica glass ampoules at 500–1350 K followed by heat treatment in tantalum crucibles at 1500–2400 K. The reaction of metal samarium with sulfur results in the formation of sulfide phases that coat the samarium surface in the following order: SmS, Sm<sub>3</sub>S<sub>4</sub>, Sm<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>, and SmS<sub>2</sub>. Subsequent annealing at 1500–1800 K provides SmS yields up to 96–97 mol %. Equilibrium minor phases for SmS are Sm<sub>3</sub>S<sub>4</sub>, Sm<sub>2</sub>О<sub>2</sub>S, and Sm. X-ray amorphous SmS was prepared by reacting organic samarium compounds with sulfur or H2S. The samarium (+2) oxidation state determines the chemical specifics of SmS. 90–120 μm SmS powders are thermally hydrolyzed starting at 600 K with Н<sub>2</sub> evolution and oxidize starting at 520 K to yield Sm<sub>3</sub>S<sub>4</sub> and then Sm<sub>2</sub>О<sub>2</sub>S phases. A 90–120 μm SmS fraction for film deposition by flash evaporation is prepared by milling annealed SmS samples. Tablets 75 mm in diameter for use in magnetron sputtering are pressed from a &lt;60-μm fraction.</p>

Abstract:
Text messaging, also known as short message services (SMS), is a burgeoning innovation area showing promise in eliciting health behavior changes. This dissertation details two intervention trials that each comparatively tests the efficacy of different text message sets intended to improve behaviors. In light of pervasive road traffic injuries amongst young men in Tanzania, the first intervention tested messaging strategies aimed at increasing helmet wearing amongst commercial motorcycle taxi drivers. Participants (N=391) were randomized to receive either: 1) social norming messages emphasizing society’s positive stance on helmets; 2) fear appeal messages emphasizing the dangers of riding without helmets, or 3) control messages. After 6-weeks, the odds of drivers reporting wearing their helmet “on every trip” was 1.58 times higher in the social norming group than amongst controls, though this difference was not significant after accounting for multiple hypothesis testing. There was little difference between fear appeal recipients and controls. In light of China’s excessive caesarean section rate of up to 54.9%, the second trial tested messaging strategies aimed at reducing unnecessary caesareans. This quasi-randomized trial assigned pregnant women (N= 4,375) to receive one of four message sets: 1) Limited “Basic” messages, 2) A set primarily regarding Care-Seeking, 3) A set primarily regarding good prenatal Home Practices, or 4) All Texts. Amongst women that acknowledged receiving program texts, care-seeking messages alone were associated with reduced odds of caesarean delivery (OR=0.71, p=.045). Assignment to receive All Texts was associated with strongly reduced odds (OR = 0.65, p=0.008). Last, an observational study utilizing the Xi’an data investigated the association newborns being born small for gestational age (SGA) and women’s levels of family support. Adjusted logistic regression found that high support was associated with reduced odds of SGA (OR =0.681 p=.013). Mediation analysis suggested this association was at least partially mediated by better nutrition supplementation and more moderate exercise. These results suggest SMS interventions may be useful tools in eliciting behavior change surrounding helmet wearing and mode of delivery. Some message types may outperform others, and family support may be a useful leverage point. Further investigation is warranted.

Abstract:
Under året 2009 publicerade den internationella organisationen IASB ett internationellt redovisningsregelverk under namnet IFRS for SMEs. Denna självständiga redovisningsstandard komma att ligga till grund för det svenska redovisningsregelverket K3, som är avsett för icke börsnoterade små och medelstora företag som upprättar årsredovisning. BFN började år 2004 med ett nytt arbete med normgivning för icke börsnoterade företag, ett regelverk som kallas K-projektet vars syfte är att förenkla redovisningsarbetet. Samtliga onoterade företag som är bokföringsskyldiga skall innefattas, och beroende på företagets storlek och utformning delas de in i olika kategorier (K1-K4).I september 2010 skickade BFN ut en komplettering av K3 på en redan utskickad remiss. I kompletteringen återfanns det bland annat förslag med kapitel 11 och kapitel 12, som tar upp värderingar och redovisningsprinciper för finansiella instrument. Remissen skickades ut till 34 institutioner och av dessa svarade 20. Vi har behandlat samtliga svar.Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka och redogöra för de olika attityderna som de olika instanserna har yttrat i sina remissvar gällande kapitel 11 och kapitel 12 ur K3-regelverket. Studien är av kvalitativ karaktär med en induktiv ansats, där empirin har bestått av institutionernas remissvar.Instansernas attityder har varit av olika karaktär och detsamma gäller mängden av synpunkter som har framförts. Resultatet av studien visar att en minoritet anser att användarvänligheten i kapitel 11 och 12 är undermålig. Vår slutsats är att varken kapitel 11 eller kapitel 12 i dagsläget är tillräckligt välutvecklat. Vi är av den uppfattningen att mer arbete måste läggas ner när det kommer strukturen och värderingen kring finansiella instrument trots att majoriteten av intressenterna sammantaget har positiva synpunkter kring regelverket.

Abstract:
Tot i que l'alta direcció és concebuda en la literatura com un stakeholder important en la funció de RRHH, hi ha una important manca d'atenció acadèmica en relació amb el paper que exerceix com a agent actiu en tots els aspectes de la GRH. Així, la present tesi intenta contribuir a aquesta literatura a través d'una anàlisi del paper necessàriament rellevant que juguen els directors generals en la GRH. Així mateix, l'observació d'aquest paper es realitza en un context poc investigat com és el de les pimes, contribuint també a la literatura de GRH en pimes. La tesi es pregunta, doncs, sobre quins són els factors i mecanismes que donen forma al paper de l'alta direcció en la GRH. Per arribar a una resposta de manera exploratòria, s'utilitza una metodologia qualitativa d’estudi de casos, per a cadascun dels quals es recullen dades amb entrevistes semiestructurades a directius, comandaments intermedis i treballadors. La mostra està composada de 25 casos d'estudi en pimes del sector hoteler. Els resultats identifiquen algunes relacions entre les característiques dels alts directius i els seus comportaments en relació amb la GRH, així com les pràctiques que acaben adoptant-se. El treball mostra també com els gerents de les pimes exerceixen un paper dual a causa de la curta distància que separa l'alta direcció dels seus empleats. Com a conseqüència, els gerents, a més de ser decisors últims de la seva empresa, també es responsabilitzen d'altres funcions més típiques de comandaments intermedis, del propi departament de RRHH o fins i tot dels treballadors. Aquestes troballes donen lloc a una sèrie d'aportacions pràctiques que destaquen la importància dels comportaments de lideratge exhibits pels directius de les pimes per sobre de les característiques específiques de les pràctiques de GRH utilitzades. Per això, és primordial informar i formar a aquests directius.
Aunque la alta dirección es concebida en la literatura como un stakeholder importante en la función de RRHH, existe una importante falta de atención académica en relación con el rol que ejerce como agente activo en todos los aspectos de la GRH. Así, la presente tesis intenta contribuir a esta literatura a través de un análisis del papel necesariamente relevante que juegan los directores generales en la GRH. Asimismo, la observación de este rol se realiza en un contexto poco investigado como es el de las pymes, contribuyendo también a la literatura de GRH en pymes. La tesis se pregunta sobre los factores y mecanismos que dan forma al rol de la alta dirección en la GRH. Para llegar a una respuesta de manera exploratoria, se utiliza una metodología cualitativa de estudio de casos, para cada uno de los cuales se recogen datos con entrevistas semiestructuradas a directivos, mandos intermedios y trabajadores. La muestra está compuesta de 25 casos en pymes del sector hotelero. Los resultados identifican algunas relaciones entre las características de los altos directivos y sus comportamientos en relación con la GRH, así como las prácticas que acaban adoptándose. El trabajo muestra también como los gerentes de las pymes ejercen un rol dual debido a la corta distancia que separa a la alta dirección de sus empleados. Como consecuencia, los gerentes, además de ser decisores últimos de sus empresas, también se responsabilizan de otras funciones más típicas de mandos intermedios, del propio departamento de RRHH o incluso de los trabajadores. Estos hallazgos dan lugar a una serie de aportaciones prácticas que destacan la importancia de los comportamientos de liderazgo exhibidos por los directivos de pymes por encima de las características específicas de las prácticas de GRH utilizadas. Por ello, es primordial informar y formar a estos directivos.
Although top management is presumed to be an important stakeholder in the HR function in the literature, there is a significant lack of academic attention paid in relation to the role they play as an active agent in all aspects of HRM. Thus, this thesis attempts to contribute to this literature through an analysis of the necessarily relevant role played by CEOs in HRM. Likewise, scarce research examining this role has been carried out in the context of SMEs, and thus the thesis also contributes to the HRM in SMEs literature. This thesis, therefore, enquires about the factors and mechanisms that shape the role of top management in HRM. To reach an answer through an exploratory approach, a case study qualitative methodology was used, collecting data through semi-structured interviews with top managers, middle managers and workers for each case. The sample was made up of 25 case studies in SMEs of the hotel sector. The results identify some relationships between the characteristics of top managers and their behaviours in relation to HRM, as well as the practices that end up being adopted. The study also shows how SME managers play a dual role due to the short distance that separates top management from their employees. As a consequence, CEOs, in addition to being the ultimate decision-makers in their company, are also responsible for other functions more typical of middle management, the HR department itself, or even the workers. These findings lead to a series of practical contributions that highlight the importance of the leadership behaviours exhibited by SME managers over and above the specific characteristics of the HRM practices used. Therefore, it is essential to inform and train these managers.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1994 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California
The area of range telemetry and communications has been under budget constraints and interoperability enhancement requirements for some time. The near-term onslaught of multimedia communications offerings by telephony and communications companies is certain to cause range engineering personnel to conduct extensive research and possibly make numerous decisions on procurements and technologies before standards are finalized. This paper will address a low-risk migration path for range telemetry to the new multimedia communications for ranges based on current capabilities. This migration path has an end goal of positioning the ranges to take advantage of future multimedia communications as they become available, while leveraging off of current products and procurements, without a major investment.

Mao, Xianqing. "Effets des contraintes mécaniques cycliques sur la génération de thrombine à la surface des cellules musculaires lisses de rat." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012LORR0003/document.

Full text
Abstract:
Les cellules musculaires lisses (CML) vasculaires les composants cellulaires principaux de la paroi artérielle, sont exposées constamment aux contraintes mécaniques. Les contraintes mécaniques cycliques régulent de nombreuses fonctions des CML vasculaires via les intégrines. Parmi les intégrines, l'[alpha]v[gamma]3 est non seulement un mécano-transducteur mais aussi le récepteur de la prothrombine à la surface des CML. L?activation de l'intégrine [alpha]v[gamma]3 par les contraintes mécaniques pourrait favoriser l'adhésion des CML à la prothrombine et aussi accélérer la génération de thrombine à la surface des CML. Pour vérifier cette hypothèse, nous avons étudié l'effet des contraintes mécaniques sur la génération de thrombine par les CML et identifié les voies de la signalisation impliquées. Nous avons utilisé un modèle de Flexcell utilisant les CML aortiques de rat, soumises à un étirement cyclique (10%, 1Hz). L'exposition à l'étirement cyclique pendant 1h et 6h induit un phénotype de différenciation et non-apoptotique des CML et une augmentation de l'expression de l'intégrine [alpha]v[gamma]3. Il y a aussi une augmentation de la phosphorylation de Src, FAK, AKT de façon temps dépendant et une augmentation de la phosphorylation de l'ILK à 15 min et du clivage de taline de 5 à 60 min. L'étirement cyclique augmente l'adhésion des CML à la prothrombine et la génération de thrombine avec un effet maximum à 6h de 67% et 30% respectivement. Le peptide mimétique de l'intégrine [alpha]v[gamma]3 (cRGDPV) et le siARN [alpha]v bloquent tous les effets de l'étirement cyclique sur les CML. Le siARN taline inhibe l'expression de la sous-unité [alpha]v et également la phosphorylation de Src, AKT et ILK. Le siARN ILK n'a pas d'effet sur l'expression de l'[alpha]v mais inhibe la phosphorylation d'AKT et le clivage de taline à 6h de l'étirement cyclique. Ainsi, l'étirement cyclique induit une plus forte génération de thrombine par les CML vasculaires via l'activation des voies de signalisation dépendante de l'[alpha]v[gamma]3. Cette étude suggère que la génération de thrombine intravasculaire peut être régulée par des antagonistes de l'intégrine [alpha]v[gamma]3 et peut devenir une nouvelle cible thérapeutique chez les patients avec une pression pulsée élevée
Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC), the main cellular components of the arterial wall, are constantly exposed to mechanical stretch. Cyclic mechanical stress regulates many functions of vascular SMC via integrins. Among the integrins, [alpha]v[gamma]3 is not only a mechanotransducer but also the receptor of prothrombin in the vascular SMC. Activation of integrin [alpha]v[gamma]3 by mechanical stretch may promote SMC adhesion to prothrombin and also accelerate thrombin generation on the surface of SMC. To test this hypothesis, we have studied the effect of mechanical stretch on the generation of thrombin by SMC and identified possible signaling pathway involved. We used a Flexcell model using rat aortic SMC subjected to cyclic stretch (10%, 1Hz). Exposure to cyclic stretch for 1h and 6h induced a phenotype of differentiation and non-apoptosis of SMC and an increased expression of integrin [alpha]v[gamma]3. There was also an increase in phosphorylation of Src, FAK, and AKT in a time dependent manner, increased phosphorylation of ILK at 15min and the cleavage of talin from 5 to 60min. Cyclic stretch increased the adhesion of prothrombin to the SMC, and thrombin generation with a maximum effect of 67% and 30% respectively. A peptide mimetic of integrin [alpha]v[gamma]3 (cRGDPV) and [alpha]v siRNA both blocked all the effects of cyclic stretch on SMC. A talin siRNA inhibited the expression of [alpha]v and the phosphorylation of Src, AKT and ILK. An ILK siRNA has no effect on the expression of [alpha]v but inhibited the phosphorylation of AKT and the cleavage of talin at 6h of stretch. Thus, cyclic stretch induced a higher thrombin generation by vascular SMC via activation of signaling pathways dependant on [alpha]v[gamma]3. This study suggests that intravascular thrombin generation can be regulated by antagonists of integrin [alpha]v[gamma]3 and can become a new therapeutic target for the patients with a high pulse pressure

Abstract:
This paper reports our efforts towards developing a mathematical and information framework for optimization of machining processes within a Smart Machining System (SMS). An SMS uses diverse integrated technologies that enable an enterprise to: (1) produce the first and every product correct; (2) improve the response of the production system to changes in demand (just in time); (3) realize rapid and agile manufacturing; and (4) provide data to the rest of the enterprise as needed. Optimization of machining processes is an important component of an SMS and contributes to realizing these capabilities. Based on a prototype, we demonstrate the concepts for robust optimization within an SMS and develop requirements and challenges for robust optimization in an SMS.

Abstract:
Oil offloading from Spread Mooring System (SMS) FPSO is usually done by means of a dynamically positioned shuttle tanker (DPST) in tandem configuration. The ST receives the oil pumped by the FPSO from a bow or stern offloading station, and the operation may take up to 3 days. In order to minimize the risks associated with the operation, the shuttle tanker (ST) should be kept within a safety zone with respect to the FPSO, which is usually given as a minimum distance between the two ships and an aperture angle from the FPSO centerline. In order to guarantee the tanker position during the whole operation, the operation must be performed with tankers provided with DP (dynamic positioning) systems. Since SMS FPSOs may be not aligned to the environmental forces, keeping the shuttle tanker in position may be a hard task for the DP system, depending on the environmental conditions. There are non-rare situations in which the ST must be disconnected and the operation interrupted. The present paper applies a methodology based on static calculation of DP capacity for evaluating the downtime of such offloading operation. The three generations of DP tankers applied in Brazilian waters are considered. Santos and Campos Basin long-term (8-year) environmental conditions (current, wind, local-sea and swell) are used in the downtime calculation. The main objective is to provide a quantitative tool to analyze important parameters of the operation, in order to support some redefinitions in the operational procedure adopted by Petrobras. The main parameters are: the angle of the safe green-zone defined from the FPSO centerline, the installed DP power, the necessity of bow and stern offloading stations in the FPSO, among others. The results indicated that due to the large variation of wave-wind conditions along the year, both offloading stations are indeed necessary, since the ST can avoid the conditions in which it is pushed towards the FPSO. The results also indicated that incrementing the angle that defines the green-zone substantially decreases the offloading downtime. However, such decision also depends on a comprehensive risk analysis, since in that case the ST may be kept in a perpendicular position related to the FPSO. The risk analysis is beyond the scope of the present work. The DP power specified for the ST generations 2 and 3 are shown to be quite adequate, since it is demonstrated that increasing this power will not lead to a substantial reduction in the downtime.

Abstract:
Sustainable nuclear power to promote energy security is a key national energy priority. The development of small modular reactors (SMRs) is expected to provide the United States with an economically viable energy option that supports this priority. Small modular reactors (SMR) are typically defined as nuclear reactors that have electrical output less than about 300 MWe [1]. In recent years, SMRs are seeing renewed interest due to several factors: 1. Economy of scale. Modular or grid-appropriate reactors can be used to expand power plants to meet needs [2], resulting in potential economies of scale that larger reactors cannot easily provide. 2. Ease of fabrication/construction. The forging capabilities for the smaller reactor pressure vessels and piping necessary for SMRs are more readily available. This also enables potentially faster and easier construction of SMRs. 3. Usually grid-following. SMRs can ramp up or down production of electricity as needed as the modular design allows for better control of grid-appropriate reactors. 4. Improved safety characteristics. Most current SMR designs rely on passive rather than active safety systems.

Abstract:
Aims: Q-LAMP aims to identify risk factors and resilience factors for symptoms of psychiatric illness during the pandemic. Study strengths include the 1-year longitudinal design and the use of standardized instruments already available in English and Arabic. The results will increase understanding of the impact of the pandemic on mental health for better support of the population during the pandemic and in future epidemics. Until an effective vaccine is available or herd immunity is achieved, countries are likely to encounter repeated ‘waves’ of infection. The identification of at-risk groups for mental illness will inform the planning and delivery of individualized treatment including primary prevention. Methodology: Longitudinal online survey; SMS-based recruitment and social media platforms advertisements e.g. Facebook, Instagram; Online consent; Completion time for questionnaires: approx. 20 to 30 minute; Baseline questionnaire with follow up at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months; Study completion date: Sept. 2021. Inclusion criteria: Currently living in Qatar; Qatari residents: citizens and expatriates; Age 18 years; read Arabic or English (questionnaire and consent form available in both languages). Instruments: Sociodemographic questionnaire including personal and family experience of COVID-19 infection; Standard instruments to assess psychiatric morbidity including depression, anxiety and PTSD; research team-designed instruments to assess social impact of pandemic; standard questionnaires to assess resilience, personality, loneliness, religious beliefs and social networks. Results: The analysis was based on 181 observations. Approximately, 3.5% of the sample was from the sms-recruitment method. The sample of completed surveys consisted of 65.0% females and 35.0% males. Qatari respondents comprised 27.0% of the total sample, while 52% of the sample were married, 25% had Grade 12 or lower level of educational attainment, and 46.0% were unemployed. Covid-19 appears to have affected different aspects of people’s lives from personal health to living arrangements, employment, and health of family and friends. Approximately, 41% to 55% of those who responded to the survey perceived changes in their stress levels, mental health, and loneliness to be worse than before the pandemic. Additionally, the wide availability of information about the pandemic on the internet and social media was perceived as source of pandemic-related worries among members of the public. Conclusion: The continued provision of mental health service and educational campaigns about effective stress and mental health management is warranted.

Oil offloading from Spread Mooring System (SMS) FPSO is usually done by means of a shuttle tanker (ST) in tandem configuration. The ST receives the oil pumped by the FPSO from a bow or stern offloading station, and the operation may take up to 3 days. In order to minimize the risks associated with the operation, the shuttle tanker (ST) should be kept within a safety zone with respect to the FPSO, which is usually given as a minimum distance between the two ships and an aperture angle from the FPSO centerline. In order to guarantee the tanker position during the whole operation, the operation is usually assisted by tug boats or performed with tankers provided with DP (dynamic positioning) systems. Since SMS FPSOs may be not aligned to the environmental forces, keeping the shuttle tanker in position may be a hard task either for the DP system or for the tug boats, depending on the environmental conditions. There are non-rare situations in which the ST must be disconnected and the operation interrupted. The present paper presents a methodology based on fully-nonlinear dynamic simulations for evaluating the downtime of such offloading operations, considering both DP and conventional non-DP tankers, in the later case assisted by a tugboat. Typical Brazilian waters environmental conditions (current, wind and waves) are considered for each seasonal period of the year. The main objective is to provide a quantitative comparison between both cases in each season. The results may also be used for strategic definition concerning logistics of oil production. The procedure is based on exhaustive dynamic simulations, and a statistical analysis of the oceanographic data was used to generate a representative set of environmental conditions together with the corresponding probability of occurrence for each season. A full time-domain dynamic simulation is then carried out for each case, considering detailed models for the dynamics of each floating structure, mooring lines and DP system. The vessel excursion, hawser tension and other operational parameters are then evaluated for each case, and the occurrence of unsafe conditions may be properly evaluated. A statistical procedure is finally applied to compute the associated downtime. Illustrative results for two different classes of ST (Aframax and Suezmax) are presented and discussed, and the advantages of employing DP assisted vessels become clear.

Abstract:
In recent years, there have been an increased interest in manufacturing and controlling of smart materials such as NiTi Shape Memory for variety of applications in the fields of robotics, automotive, aerospace, and biomedical. In the past, there have been several studies done to control the position of SMA actuators, they mostly use a position sensor which directly measures the position [1][2]. The use of a position sensor adds substantially to the cost of an actuator unit. Moreover, there have been a few studies done in the field of self-sensing control of SMA actuators, however, they either assume a constant environmental conditions[3] or don’t consider the full complexity of the hysteresis behavior of SMAs [4]. Shape memory effect of SMAs, such as NiTi, are inherently due to a thermal process which leads to a phase transformation between the two solid phases of austenite and martensite [5]. The objective of this paper is to develop an adaptive electrical resistance feedback controller which controls the temperature of the NiTi SMA actuator based on the identified unknown heat convection coefficient.

Abstract:
Active structures composed of Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) and High Temperature SMAs (HTSMAs) continue to be developed for applications that benefit from solid-state actuation. The need to account for the response of these materials under non-conventional loading paths that include elevated temperature conditions has become important. Conventional SMAs are exposed to such temperatures during processing, including final shape-setting. HTSMAs, by virtue of their title, are exposed to such high temperatures during transformation. This work addresses new developments in the constitutive modeling and numerical analysis pertaining to irrecoverable inelasticity in SMAs at high temperatures, where this behavior becomes rate-dependent. The description of such behavior requires the development of a theoretical framework able to capture the coupling between the rate-independent transformation and the rate-dependent creep. The proposed phase transformation-viscoplastic model is based on continuum thermodynamics; here the elastic relations, the inelastic evolution equations, and the transformation criteria are summarized. The evolution equation for the viscoplastic strain is non-homogeneous in time, and thus rate-dependency results. The viscoplastic parameters are generally assumed to exhibit a strong dependence on temperature. The rate-independent and rate-dependent constitutive equations that comprise the full 3-D model are numerically integrated using a scheme that accounts for both transformation and viscoplastic deformation in a coupled manner. The implementation allows for 3-D analysis of SMA bodies using an FEA framework that includes Abaqus and an associated user material subroutine. Example analyses are discussed, including shape-setting in a conventional SMA and experimentally validated structural analysis of an HTSMA specimen.

Abstract:
With the funding programme Talents, the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) supports people in applied research throughout their entire career. The overarching goal is to increase the utilisation of human potential in the application-oriented, scientific and technical RTI sector. The programme objectives are 1) to inspire young people for research and development, 2) to connect researchers with the economic sector, 3)to guarantee equal opportunities for all. Within the framework of three fields of intervention, there are various programme lines: 1) Intervention field Young Talents with the programme lines Internships for Students and Talents Regional, 2) Intervention field Female Talents with the programme lines FEMtech Internships for Female Students, FEMtech Career and FEMtech Career Check for SMEs (2015 and 2016), as well as FEMtech Research Projects; and 3) Intervention field Professional Talents with the programme lines The Austrian Job Exchange for Research, Development and Innovation as well as Career Grants for Interviews, Relocation and Dual Careers in Applied Research. After an interim evaluation in 2014, a final evaluation took place at the end of the programme period (end of 2020). The programme was analysed with regard to its conception, implementation, achievement of objectives and impact. Furthermore, conclusions and recommendations for the further development of the Talents programme have been drawn. The methodological basis of the evaluation is a document analysis, secondary data analysis (FFG monitoring data), interviews with experts, online surveys of funding recipients (FEMtech Career / FEMtech Career Check for SMEs and Career Grants), case studies (FEMtech Career projects) and workshops.
