Abstract

Introduction This article describes the development of a unique mapping of the Kurtzke Functional Systems Scores (KFSS) from International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes among multiple sclerosis (MS) patients within a US Integrated Delivery Network (IDN). Valid identification of increasing disability may allow deeper insight into MS progression and possible treatments. Methods This cohort study identified MS patients in the IDN, Intermountain Healthcare. Experienced clinicians and informaticists mapped electronic health record ICD-9-CM codes to KFSS components generating a modified Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Modified EDSS scores were used to assess disability progression by calculating means, medians, ranges, and changes in KFSS and modified EDSS scores. Results Overall, 608/2960 (20.5%) patients were identified as having MS progression and presented a wide range of scores on the EDSS 10-point scale. The median (range) first and second EDSS scores were 0 (0–6) and 5 (1–8), respectively. The median (range) change from first to second score was 5 (1–7.5). The median first KFSS score for all systems was 0, and the mean differed among components. The highest mean first KFSS score (1.06) was measured for sensory function and lowest (0.12) for cerebellar functions. Of the 544 patients with their first EDSS scores in the ≤ 2.5 group, 75.2% and 15.1% had their second EDSS scores in group 3–5.5 and ≥ 6, respectively. Of the 62 patients with their first EDSS score in the 3–5.5 group, 58.1% had their second EDSS scores in group ≥ 6. Conclusion This innovative mapping technique is a promising method for future comparative effectiveness and safety research of Disease-Modifying Therapy in Real-World Data repositories. Future research to validate and expand on this method in another healthcare database is encouraged.

Abstract

The primary study objectives were to estimate the frequencies and rates of gastrointestinal bleeding and peptic ulcerative disorder in HIV-positive patients compared with age- and sex-matched HIV-negative subjects. Data from a US insurance claims database was used for this analysis. Among 89,207 patients with HIV, 9.0% had a GI bleed, 1.0% had an upper gastrointestinal bleed, 5.6% had a lower gastrointestinal bleed, 1.9% had a peptic ulcerative disorder diagnosis, and 0.6% had both gastrointestinal/peptic ulcerative disorder. Among 267,615 HIV-negative subjects, the respective frequencies were 6.9%, 0.6%, 4.3%, 1.4%, and 0.4% (p

Abstract

In order to provide telecommunication and FTTH services, we, NTT, have installed a large number of facilities such as utility poles and optical cables. The number of poles is about 11.9 million and the total length of all installed cables is now about 2.3 million km. These facilities are inspected and maintained by visual inspection by workers every 5 to 10 years, which imposes great costs on the operator. Therefore, we are researching a novel outside-facility renovation technology that can improve cost-effectiveness by long-term safe use. This technology consists of two techniques: a visualization technique of unbalanced tension and a quantitative analysis technique to determine the relationship between unbalanced tension and structural deterioration. In this paper, we describe the concept of the proposed technology. When a utility pole is newly installed, its design assumes that the maximum load consists of wind pressure on the cables. However, when it is impossible to construct a guy wire for bearing the load applied to the utility pole, an unbalanced load occurs because the load cannot be balanced. In addition, when the number of users of various services increases and cables are newly laid, unbalanced loads are generated. Utility poles carrying these unbalanced loads are at significant risk of collapse due to the presence of deflection, inclination, and cracks. Our proposal focuses on the unbalanced load itself, and by detecting and countering it, we aim to enable the use of outside-facilities for a longer period than at present and to reduce replacement costs without sacrificing safety and security. In addition, we also describe how ensuring the long-term safe use of outside-facilities can improve cost-effectiveness. The proposed technique first acquires 3D point cloud data by using 3D laser scanner. It then creates a 3D facility model and calculates the tension in utility poles and cables. In addition, we introduce a novel method to estimate the loads and tension of a whole span from part of the span. Experiments are conducted to compare the estimated and measured values. The results confirm the good agreement of the values (within 10%) which validates the proposal. We aim to realize a tension visualization scheme with improved accuracy.

9. Technique for Analyzing Relationship Between Unbalanced Load and Structural Deterioration in Outside Facilities

Abstract

In order to provide telecommunication and FTTH services, NTT have installed so many facilities such as utility poles and optical cables. The number of poles is about 11.8 million and the total length of all installed cables is about 2.3 million km. These facilities are now maintained and inspected visually by on-site maintenance staff at great expense. Therefore, we are researching a novel outside-facility renovation technology that increases cost-effectiveness by ensuring the long-term safe use of facilities. When a utility pole is newly constructed, it is designed under the assumption of a maximum load such as wind pressure being applied to the pole via cables and auxiliary attachments. However, the loads can become imbalanced when the guy wire cannot be tensioned as they cross private land or when there are obstacles, etc. We call this condition that unbalanced loads occur. Unbalanced loads are one of the key reasons for the structural deterioration of utility poles. After the deterioration occurs, the risk of pole collapse increases, because deflection and inclination are generated and finally the cracks propagate until collapse. The conventional solution is to replace the damaged pole. However, in many cases, the loads are created by other contiguous poles, so unbalanced loads occur again. Therefore, we are developing a method that can identify the reason by regarding sets of utility poles as "facility systems" and analyzing unbalanced loads quantitatively by FEM. In our research, simulation accuracy is improved by determining the quantitative differences obtained by comparing the calculated results obtained by FEM with measured values obtained by using a reaction wall. The simulations of structural degradation due to unbalanced loads taking into account the deformation of cables due to wind velocity and air temperature in addition to various material properties such as hysteresis and the sectional model of the utility poles. In addition to the above, the effect of soil is considered as a spring element, and the analysis involves the elements of horizontal spring (Kxi, Kzi) and vertical spring (Kv). While the calculated and the measured values show good agreement, there is some small error. This error is considered to be due to the influence of parameters such as tensile and compressive strength, and we aim to improve the simulation accuracy by considering these effects in the future.

Abstract

Since a brace is required to fit to an individual body shape, the tailor-made design is the most effective approach to produce an ideal one. Our research objective is to develop a tailor-made design system for arm brace. In this paper, we propose a shape modeling method for designing an arm brace fits to the user's arm. Our idea is that the tailor-made arm brace can be designed by deforming a standard arm brace as fit to an individual arm. In our system, a user inputs shape models and geometrical constraints of the brace model, and the system outputs the final shape automatically. This system achieves low-cost design of an arm brace with the shape fits to the arm.

Abstract

A detailed study of pseudorapidity densities and multiplicity distributions of primary charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions, atv root s = 0.9, 2.36, 2.76, 7 and 8 TeV, in the pseudorapidity range vertical bar n vertical bar< 2, was carried out using the ALICE detector. Measurements were obtained for three event classes: inelastic, non-single diffractive and events with at least one charged particle in the pseudorapidity interval vertical bar n vertical bar

Abstract

Skeleton based modeling is popular as a deformation method for CG character animation, and have many variations. But the calculation cost and the intuition of operation are trade-off at any conventional method. In this paper, we propose a new skeleton based modeling for 3D mesh models. In this method, user can deform an arbitrary mesh like a rubber along with the skeleton and get the result in interactive speed. This method is composed of 3-step algorithm. In the 1st step, a user makes skeletons on the target mesh. In the 2nd step, a user defines a correspondence between mesh and skeleton. In the 3rd step, a user deforms the skeletons, and the deformed mesh is outputted automatically. In this method, we use extended TGM as deformation structure of skeleton. This method achieves 3D mesh deformation for CG character animation and conceptual design of industrial product.

Abstract

A new mesh modeling method for shape design to avoid interference between a subject shape and an obstacle shape is proposed. This method is based on the tensegric modeling, and the deformation result is achieved automatically according to few user inputs. Tensegric model is generated on a mesh model of subject shape and simulates pseudo-physical deformation for various constraints. In this method, a dis- interfered shape is calculated by two types of methods according to the obstacle representation; “potential based avoidance” and “mesh based avoidance”. The deformation result fits to the obstacle shape smoothly. So, this method is effective for cover shape design of complex shapes, e.g. mechanical product, and is applicable for soft tissue deformation, e.g. human body.

Abstract

ALICE is one of four large experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, specially designed to study particle production in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Located 52 meters underground with 28 meters of overburden rock, it has also been used to detect muons produced by cosmic ray interactions in the upper atmosphere. In this paper, we present the multiplicity distribution of these atmospheric muons and its comparison with Monte Carlo simulations. This analysis exploits the large size and excellent tracking capability of the ALICE Time Projection Chamber. A special emphasis is given to the study of high multiplicity events containing more than 100 reconstructed muons and corresponding to a muon areal density rho(mu) > 5.9 m(-2). Similar events have been studied in previous underground experiments such as ALEPH and DELPHI at LEP. While these experiments were able to reproduce the measured muon multiplicity distribution with Monte Carlo simulations at low and intermediate multiplicities, their simulations failed to describe the frequency of the highest multiplicity events. In this work we show that the high multiplicity events observed in ALICE stem from primary cosmic rays with energies above 10(16) eV and that the frequency of these events can be successfully described by assuming a heavy mass composition of primary cosmic rays in this energy range. The development of the resulting air showers was simulated using the latest version of QGSJET to model hadronic interactions. This observation places significant constraints on alternative, more exotic, production mechanisms for these events.

Abstract

We report on results obtained with the event-shape engineering technique applied to Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV. By selecting events in the same centrality interval, but with very different average flow, different initial-state conditions can be studied. We find the effect of the event-shape selection on the elliptic flow coefficient v(2) to be almost independent of transverse momentum p(T), which is as expected if this effect is attributable to fluctuations in the initial geometry of the system. Charged-hadron, -pion, -kaon, and -proton transverse momentum distributions are found to be harder in events with higher-than-average elliptic flow, indicating an interplay between radial and elliptic flow.

Abstract

The production of (anti-) deuteron and (anti-) He-3 nuclei in Pb-Pb collisions at root sNN = 2.76 TeV has been studied using the ALICE detector at the LHC. The spectra exhibit a significant hardening with increasing centrality. Combined blast-wave fits of several particles support the interpretation that this behavior is caused by an increase of radial flow. The integrated particle yields are discussed in the context of coalescence and thermal-statistical model expectations. The particle ratios, He-3 / d and He-3 / p, in Pb-Pb collisions are found to be in agreement with a common chemical freeze-out temperature of T-chem approximate to 156 MeV. These ratios do not vary with centrality which is in agreement with the thermal-statistical model. In a coalescence approach, it excludes models in which nucleus production is proportional to the particle multiplicity and favors those in which it is proportional to the particle density instead. In addition, the observation of 31 anti-tritons in Pb-Pb collisions is reported. For comparison, the deuteron spectrum in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV is also presented. While the p/p ratio is similar in pp and Pb-Pb collisions, the d/p ratio in pp collisions is found to be lower by a factor of 2.2 than in Pb-Pb collisions.

Abstract

Transverse momentum (p(T)) spectra of pions, kaons, and protons up to p(T) = 20 GeV/c have been measured in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV using the ALICE detector for six different centrality classes covering 0%-80%. The proton-to-pion and the kaon-to-pion ratios both show a distinct peak at p(T) approximate to 3 GeV/c in central Pb-Pb collisions that decreases for more peripheral collisions. For p(T) > 10 GeV/c, the nuclear modification factor is found to be the same for all three particle species in each centrality interval within systematic uncertainties of 10%-20%. This suggests there is no direct interplay between the energy loss in the medium and the particle species composition in the hard core of the quenched jet. For p(T) < 10 GeV/c, the data provide important constraints for models aimed at describing the transition from soft to hard physics.

Abstract

We report on the inclusive production cross sections of J/psi, psi(2S), gamma(1S), gamma(2S) and gamma(3S), measured at forward rapidity with the ALICE detector in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 8 TeV. The analysis is based on data collected at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.23 pb(-1). Quarkonia are reconstructed in the dimuon-decay channel. The differential production cross sections are measured as a function of the transverse momentum p(T) and rapidity y, over the p(T) ranges 0 < p(T) < 20 GeV/c for J/psi, 0 < p(T) < 12 GeV/c for all other resonances, and for 2.5 < y < 4. The cross sections, integrated over p(T) and y, and assuming unpolarized quarkonia, are sigma(J/psi) = 8.98 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.82 mu b, sigma(psi(2S)) = 1.23 +/- 0.08 +/- 0.22 mu b, sigma(gamma(1S)) = 71 +/- 6 +/- 7 nb, sigma(gamma(2S)) = 26 +/- 5 +/- 4 nb and sigma(gamma(3S)) = 9 +/- 4 +/- 1 nb, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one is systematic. These values agree, within at most 1.4 sigma, with measurements performed by the LHCb collaboration in the same rapidity range.

Abstract

The production of prompt D-s(+) mesons was measured for the first time in collisions of heavy nuclei with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The analysis was performed on a data sample of Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair, root s(NN), of 2.76 TeV in two different centrality classes, namely 0-10% and 20-50%. D-s(+) mesons and their antiparticles were reconstructed at mid-rapidity from their hadronic decay channel D-s(+) -> phi pi(+), with phi -> K-K+, in the transverse momentum intervals 4 < p(T) < 12 GeV/c and 6 < p(T) < 12 GeV/c for the 0-10% and 20-50% centrality classes, respectively. The nuclear modi fication factor R-AA was computed by comparing the p(T)-differential production yields in Pb-Pb collisions to those in proton-proton (pp) collisions at the same energy. This pp reference was obtained using the cross section measured at root s = 7 TeV and scaled to root s = 2.76TeV. The R-AA of D-s(+) mesons was compared to that of non-strange D mesons in the 10% most central Pb-Pb collisions. At high p(T) (8 < p(T) < 12 GeV/c) a suppression of the D-s(+)-meson yield by a factor of about three, compatible within uncertainties with that of non-strange D mesons, is observed. At lower p(T) (4 < p(T) < 8 GeV/c) the values of the D-s(+)-meson R-AA are larger than those of non-strange D mesons, although compatible within uncertainties. The production ratios D-s(+)/D-0 and D-s(+)/D+ were also measured in Pb-Pb collisions and compared to their values in proton-proton collisions.

Abstract

We report on the first measurement of an excess in the yield of J/psi at very low transverse momentum (pT < 0.3 GeV/c) in peripheral hadronic Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV, performed by ALICE at the CERN LHC. Remarkably, the measured nuclear modification factor of J/psi in the rapidity range 2.5 < y < 4 reaches about 7 (2) in the p(T) range 0-0.3 GeV/c in the 70%-90% (50%-70%) centrality class. The J/psi production cross section associated with the observed excess is obtained under the hypothesis that coherent photoproduction of J/psi is the underlying physics mechanism. If confirmed, the observation of J/psi coherent photoproduction in Pb-Pb collisions at impact parameters smaller than twice the nuclear radius opens new theoretical and experimental challenges and opportunities. In particular, coherent photoproduction accompanying hadronic collisions may provide insight into the dynamics of photoproduction and nuclear reactions, as well as become a novel probe of the quark-gluon plasma.

Abstract

Soft tissue deformation based on tensegric modeling is extended. This modeling is developed to apply for human females to reform/alter their body shape using tailor-made undergarments. A tensegric model is generated based on body data scanned from real female humans and covers around the bust and hips of the body. It simulates a physically-based deformation of the body shape based on pseudo forces. Variations of the undergarments are represented by different types of constraining lines, which behaves like rubber-bands. When an excessive constraint is imposed to the real body shapes, vibrations of deforming calculation are not negligible small comparing to that of a mannequin shape. Here, it is suppressed by controlling pseudo forces to perform stable calculation. Finally, the deformation result is correlated with a scanned body shape wearing an undergarment.

Abstract

For a digital clay modeling, AR technique is applied with highly cost-performed devices; web camera, print-out markers, and a pair of chopsticks, or "hashi" in Japanese. A user can build up a particle based model by HASHI from scratch. Particles can be moved as a bunch or one-by-one with user's manipulation of chopsticks, and are prevented being scattered or collapsed with pseudo force mechanism. Because any force feedback is not provided as a light system, visual information of particle's color has an importance. When the odeling is finished, a triangular mesh B-rep solid model is generated via voxel smoothing and can be outputted by 3D printers. The genus of B-rep is decided by the size of voxel cube.

Abstract

Background Venous thromboembolic co-morbidities can have a significant impact on treatment response, treatment options, quality of life, and ultimately, survival from cancer. There is a dearth of published information on venous thromboembolic co-morbidity among older soft tissue sarcoma patients. Methods SEER-Medicare linked data (1993–2005) was utilized for this retrospective cohort analysis (n = 3,480 soft tissue sarcoma patients). Non-cancer patients were frequency-matched by age to cancer patients at a ratio of 1:1; coverage and follow-up requirements were the same as for soft tissue sarcoma cases. Venous thromboembolic events were divided into three groups of interest: deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and other thromboembolic events. Relative incidence rates of venous thromboembolic events in soft tissue sarcoma patients with a recent history of cardiovascular event or venous thromboembolic event (12 months before diagnosis) versus soft tissue sarcoma patients without such a recent history were calculated using the Cox proportional hazard models. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to build predictive models to identify important risk factors for each venous thromboembolic event of interest among soft tissue sarcoma patients. Relative incidence rate of VTEs in cancer patients (12 months after diagnosis) versus non-cancer cases (12 months after index date) was calculated using multivariable Cox proportional hazard models. Results We observed that among older soft tissue sarcoma patients, 10.6% experienced a deep vein thrombosis, 3.0% experienced a pulmonary embolism, and 3.1% experienced other thromboembolic events in the 12 months after sarcoma diagnosis. On average, 60% of venous thromboembolic events occurred in the first 90 days after sarcoma diagnosis. The highest rates of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after sarcoma diagnosis were seen in patients with sarcoma not otherwise specified (deep vein thrombosis: 204/1,000 p-y and pulmonary embolism: 50/1,000 p-y). Recent history of a venous thromboembolic event was the strongest predictor of a subsequent venous thromboembolic event after soft tissue sarcoma diagnosis. Conclusion Venous thromboembolic events are common and serious co-morbidities that should be closely monitored in older soft tissue sarcoma patients.

Abstract

In this paper, we explain a new stereolithography involving the separate use of liquid photoinitiator and a base resin (photopolymer resin without photoinitiator). First, the base resin is supplied as a layer, and then a mask pattern is drawn onto the surface with photoinitiator by inkjet printing. When the surface is exposed to a UV lamp, only the pattern drawn with the photoinitiator is cured. In this process, the photoinitiator acts as a positive mask. Also, the idea of multiple-layer exposure, which may enable stair step reduction and fabrication time reduction, is introduced. The proposed idea and method are implemented in an experimental stereolithography system and some experiments are conducted using the system. As a result, the effectiveness and feasibility of the idea and method are confirmed.

Abstract

Soft tissue deformation based on tensegric modeling is proposed. This modeling is especially applicable for human females to reform/alter their body shape using tailor-made undergarments. When a digitized mesh data of customer’s body surface is provided, a tensegric model is generated, simulating a physically-based deformation of the body shape. The tensegric model is based on a sparse triangular mesh, which approximates body shape. The constraints on the deformation are the constant volume of the model, and the length of specific lines lying on the model’s surface, which correlates directly with the size of the undergarments. After the tensegric model is deformed by those constraints, the deformed body shape is calculated by t-FFD (Free Form Deformation by using Triangular mesh). This process operates in real-time in a standard PC environment, and aids customers appreciate the physical effects of the shaping undergarment.

Abstract

Aims: Identification of the bacteriocin produced by Enterococcus mundtii QU 2 newly isolated from soybean and fermentative production of the bacteriocin. Methods and Results: The bacteriocin produced by Ent. mundtii QU 2 inhibited the growth of various indicator strains, including Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus and Listeria. The bacteriocin activity was stable at wide pH range and against heat treatment, but completely abolished by proteolytic enzymes. The bacteriocin was purified from the culture supernatant by the three-step chromatographic procedure. Mass spectrometry, amino acid sequencing and DNA sequencing revealed that the bacteriocin was similar to class IIa bacteriocins produced by other Ent. mundtii strains. The bacteriocin production decreased in the absence of glucose, nitrogen sources, or Tween 80 in MRS medium. Additionally, it was strongly suppressed by addition of Ca2+ (CaCO3 or CaCl2). In pH-controlled fermentations, the highest bacteriocin production was achieved at pH 6·0, whereas the highest cell growth was obtained at pH 7·0. Conclusions: Ent. mundtii QU 2 produced a class IIa bacteriocin. Some growth factors (e.g. Ca2+ and pH) influenced the bacteriocin production. Significance and Impact of the Study: A new soybean isolate, Ent. mundtii QU 2 was found to be a class IIa bacteriocin producer. Factors influencing the bacteriocin production described herein are valuable for applications of the bacteriocins from Ent. mundtii strains.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose new application methods of t-FFD1), a free-form deformation by using triangular mesh, or base-mesh. The first application is “skeleton based modeling”. This method is a shape deformation by line segments, or “control skeleton”, which is used by a designer to control the base-mesh with a rigid transformation. The second application is “tensegrity modeling”. In this method, a TGM3), or a tensegrity model, is generated automatically to control the shape of base-mesh. A designer can manipulate the TGM to get the deformed shape based on the physical characteristics of the TGM. These methods enable an intuitive modeling by a designer with simple and visual operations.

Abstract

We have studied the transverse-momentum (p(T)) dependence of the inclusive J/psi production in p-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV, in three center-of-mass rapidity (y(cms)) regions, down to zero p(T). Results in the forward and backward rapidity ranges (2.03 < y(cms) < 3.53 and -4.46 < y(cms) < -2.96) are obtained by studying the J/psi decay to mu(+)mu(-), while the mid-rapidity region (-1.37 < y(cms) < 0.43) is investigated by measuring the e(+)e(-) decay channel. The p(T) dependence of the J/psi production cross section and nuclear modification factor are presented for each of the rapidity intervals, as well as the J/psi mean p(T) values. Forward and mid-rapidity results show a suppression of the J/psi yield, with respect to pp collisions, which decreases with increasing p(T). At backward rapidity no significant J/psi suppression is observed. Theoretical models including a combination of cold nuclear matter effects such as shadowing and partonic energy loss, are in fair agreement with the data, except at forward rapidity and low transverse momentum. The implications of the p-Pb results for the evaluation of cold nuclear matter effects on J/psi production in Pb-Pb collisions are also discussed.

Abstract

The transverse momentum (p(T)) dependence of the nuclear modification factor R-AA and the centrality dependence of the average transverse momentum for inclusive J/psi have been measured with ALICE for Pb-Pb collisions at root S-NN = 2.76TeV in the e(+)e(-) decay channel at mid-rapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar < 0.8). The is significantly smaller than the one observed for pp collisions at the same centre-of-mass energy. Consistently, an increase of RAA is observed towards low p(T). These observations might be indicative of a sizable contribution of charm quark coalescence to the J/psi production. Additionally, the fraction of non-prompt J/psi from beauty hadron decays, f(B), has been determined in the region 1.5 < p(T) < 10 GeV/c in three centrality intervals. No significant centrality dependence of fB is observed. Finally, the RAA of non-prompt J/psi is discussed and compared with model predictions. The nuclear modification in the region 4.5 < p(T) < 10 GeV/c is found to be stronger than predicted by most models.

Abstract

We report measurements of the primary charged-particle pseudorapidity density and transverse momentum distributions in p-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV and investigate their correlation with experimental observables sensitive to the centrality of the collision. Centrality classes are defined by using different event-activity estimators, i.e., charged-particle multiplicities measured in three different pseudorapidity regions as well as the energy measured at beam rapidity (zero degree). The procedures to determine the centrality, quantified by the number of participants (N-part) or the number of nucleon-nucleon binary collisions (N-coll) are described. We show that, in contrast to Pb-Pb collisions, in p-Pb collisions large multiplicity fluctuations together with the small range of participants available generate a dynamical bias in centrality classes based on particle multiplicity. We propose to use the zero-degree energy, which we expect not to introduce a dynamical bias, as an alternative event-centrality estimator. Based on zero-degree energy-centrality classes, the N-part dependence of particle production is studied. Under the assumption that the multiplicity measured in the Pb-going rapidity region scales with the number of Pb participants, an approximate independence of the multiplicity per participating nucleon measured at mid-rapidity of the number of participating nucleons is observed. Furthermore, at high-pT the p-Pb spectra are found to be consistent with the pp spectra scaled by N-coll for all centrality classes. Our results represent valuable input for the study of the event-activity dependence of hard probes in p-Pb collisions and, hence, help to establish baselines for the interpretation of the Pb-Pb data.

Abstract

We report the measurement of a new observable of jet quenching in central Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV, based on the semi-inclusive rate of charged jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high-p T) charged hadron trigger. Jets are measured using collinear-safe jet reconstruction with infrared cutoff for jet constituents of 0.15 GeV, for jet resolution parameters R = 0.2, 0.4 and 0.5. Underlying event background is corrected at the event-ensemble level, without imposing bias on the jet population. Recoil jet spectra are reported in the range 20 < p(T,jet)(ch) < 100 GeV. Reference distributions for pp collisions at root s = 2.76TeV are calculated using Monte Carlo and NLO pQCD methods, which are validated by comparing with measurements in pp collisions at root s = 7TeV. The recoil jet yield in central Pb-Pb collisions is found to be suppressed relative to that in pp collisions. No significant medium-induced broadening of the intra-jet energy profile is observed within 0.5 radians relative to the recoil jet axis. The angular distribution of the recoil jet yield relative to the trigger axis is found to be similar in central Pb-Pb and pp collisions, with no significant medium-induced acoplanarity observed. Large-angle jet deflection, which may provide a direct probe of the nature of the quasi-particles in hot QCD matter, is explored.

Abstract

Prompt D meson and non-prompt J/psi yields are studied as a function of the multiplicity of charged particles produced in inelastic proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 7 TeV. The results are reported as a ratio between yields in a given multiplicity interval normalised to the multiplicity-integrated ones (relative yields). They are shown as a function of the multiplicity of charged particles normalised to the average value for inelastic collisions (relative charged-particle multiplicity). D-0, D+ and D*+ mesons are measured in five p(T) intervals from 1 GeV/c to 20 GeV/c and for |y| < 0.5 via their hadronic decays. The D-meson relative yield is found to increase with increasing charged-particle multiplicity. For events with multiplicity six times higher than the average multiplicity of inelastic collisions, a yield enhancement of a factor about 15 relative to the multiplicity-integrated yield in inelastic collisions is observed. The yield enhancement is independent of transverse momentum within the uncertainties of the measurement. The D-0-meson relative yield is also measured as a function of the relative multiplicity at forward pseudo-rapidity. The non-prompt J/psi, i.e. the B hadron, contribution to the inclusive J/psi production is measured in the di-electron decay channel at central rapidity. It is evaluated for p(T) > 1.3 GeV/c and |y| < 0.9, and extrapolated to p(T) > 0. The fraction of non-prompt J/psi the inclusive J/psi yields shows no dependence on the charged-particle multiplicity at central rapidity. Charm and beauty hadron relative yields exhibit a similar increase with increasing charged-particle multiplicity. The measurements are compared to PYTHIA 8, EPOS 3 and percolation calculations.

Abstract

We present a measurement of inclusive J/psi production in p-Pb collisions at root S-NN = 5.02 TeV as a function of the centrality of the collision, as estimated from the energy deposited in the Zero Degree Calorimeters. The measurement is performed with the ALICE detector down to zero transverse momentum, p(T), in the backward (-4.46 < y(cms) < -2.96) and forward (2.03 < y(cms) < 3.53) rapidity intervals in the dimuon decay channel and in the mid-rapidity region (-1.37 < y(cms) < 0.43) in the dielectron decay channel. The backward and forward rapidity intervals correspond to the Pb-going and p-going direction, respectively. The p(T)-differential J/psi production cross section at backward and forward rapidity is measured for several centrality classes, together with the corresponding average p(T) and p(T)(2) values. The nuclear modification factor is presented as a function of centrality for the three rapidity intervals, and as a function of p(T) for several centrality classes at backward and forward rapidity. At mid-and forward rapidity, the J/psi yield is suppressed up to 40% compared to that in pp interactions scaled by the number of binary collisions. The degree of suppression increases towards central p-Pb collisions at forward rapidity, and with decreasing p(T) of the J/psi. At backward rapidity, the nuclear modification factor is compatible with unity within the total uncertainties, with an increasing trend from peripheral to central p-Pb collisions.

The strength of forward-backward (FB) multiplicity correlations is measured by the ALICE detector in proton-proton (pp) collisions at = 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV. The measurement is performed in the central pseudorapidity region (|eta| < 0.8) for the transverse momentum p (T) > 0.3 GeV/c. Two separate pseudorapidity windows of width (delta eta) ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 are chosen symmetrically around eta = 0. The multiplicity correlation strength (b (corr)) is studied as a function of the pseudorapidity gap (eta (gap)) between the two windows as well as the width of these windows. The correlation strength is found to decrease with increasing eta (gap) and shows a non-linear increase with delta eta. A sizable increase of the correlation strength with the collision energy, which cannot be explained exclusively by the increase of the mean multiplicity inside the windows, is observed. The correlation coefficient is also measured for multiplicities in different configurations of two azimuthal sectors selected within the symmetric FB eta-windows. Two different contributions, the short-range (SR) and the long-range (LR), are observed. The energy dependence of b (corr) is found to be weak for the SR component while it is strong for the LR component. Moreover, the correlation coefficient is studied for particles belonging to various transverse momentum intervals chosen to have the same mean multiplicity. Both SR and LR contributions to b (corr) are found to increase with p (T) in this case. Results are compared to PYTHIA and PHOJET event generators and to a string-based phenomenological model. The observed dependencies of b (corr) add new constraints on phenomenological models.

Abstract

We report the results of the femtoscopic analysis of pairs of identical pions measured in p-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 5.02 TeV. Femtoscopic radii are determined as a function of event multiplicity and pair momentum in three spatial dimensions. As in the pp collision system, the analysis is complicated by the presence of sizable background correlation structures in addition to the femtoscopic signal. The radii increase with event multiplicity and decrease with pair transverse momentum. When taken at comparable multiplicity, the radii measured in p-Pb collisions, at high multiplicity and low pair transverse momentum, are 10%-20% higher than those observed in pp collisions but below those observed in A-A collisions. The results are compared to hydrodynamic predictions at large event multiplicity as well as discussed in the context of calculations based on gluon saturation.

Abstract

Background Venous thromboembolic co-morbidities can have a significant impact on treatment response, treatment options, quality of life, and ultimately, survival from cancer. The extent of venous thromboembolic co-morbidity among older renal cell cancer patients is poorly described in the literature. It is important to understand the scope of venous thromboembolic events, before and after diagnosis, in order to offer renal cell cancer patients optimal care and improved quality of life. Methods The main goal of this study was to estimate and describe the incidence of venous thromboembolic events before and after renal cell cancer diagnosis. SEER-Medicare linked data (1991–2003) was utilized for this retrospective cohort analysis (n = 11,950) of older renal cell cancer patients (≥ 65 years). Incidence rates and proportions in addition to multivariable Cox proportional hazard and logistic regression models were utilized to describe the incidence and relative risk of venous thromboembolic events. Results We observed that in the 12 months after diagnosis, 8.3% of renal cell cancer patients experienced a deep venous thrombosis, 2.4% experienced a pulmonary embolism, and 3.9% experienced other thromboembolic events. Nearly 70% of venous thromboembolic events occurred in the first 90 days after renal cell cancer diagnosis. Renal cell cancer patients were 2–4 times more likely to have a venous thromboembolic event in the 12 months after cancer diagnosis than non-cancer patients followed during the same time frame. Recent history of a venous event substantially increased the risk of that same event in the 12 months after diagnosis (HR = 5.2-18.8). Conclusion Venous thromboembolic events are common and serious co-morbidities that should be closely monitored in older renal cell cancer patients, particularly during the first 3 months following diagnosis and among those with a recent history of a venous thromboembolic event.

Abstract

Background: In Asia, large-scale studies on anti-HER2 treatment in HER2-positive breast cancer patients with brain metastases are limited. We studied the treatment patterns of these patients in Asia to evaluate the impact of anti-HER2 treatment on the time to occurrence of brain metastases (TTBM) and survival after brain metastasis (BM). Methods: A retrospective study of HER2-positive breast cancer patients diagnosed with BM between January 2006 and December 2008 in six Asian countries was conducted. Demographics, tumour characteristics, treatment details, and events dates were collected from medical records. Results: Data from 280 patients were analysed. Before BM, 63% received anti-HER2 treatment. These patients had significantly longer TTBM than those without anti-HER2 treatment (median 33 vs 19 months; P

Abstract

In this article, the authors investigate, from an interdisciplinary perspective, possible ethical implications of the presence of ubiquitous computing systems in human perception/action. The term ubiquitous computing is used to characterize information-processing capacity from computers that are available everywhere and all the time, integrated into everyday objects and activities. The contrast in approach to aspects of ubiquitous computing between traditional considerations of ethical issues and the Ecological Philosophy view concerning its possible consequences in the context of perception/action are the underlying themes of this paper. The focus is on an analysis of how the generalized dissemination of microprocessors in embedded systems, commanded by a ubiquitous computing system, can affect the behaviour of people considered as embodied embedded agents.

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are common, heritable neurodevelopmental conditions. The genetic architecture of ASDs is complex, requiring large samples to overcome heterogeneity. Here we broaden coverage and sample size relative to other studies of ASDs by using Affymetrix 10K SNP arrays and 1,168 families with at least two affected individuals, performing the largest linkage scan to date while also analyzing copy number variation in these families. Linkage and copy number variation analyses implicate chromosome 11p12-p13 and neurexins, respectively, among other candidate loci. Neurexins team with previously implicated neuroligins for glutamatergic synaptogenesis, highlighting glutamate-related genes as promising candidates for contributing to ASDs. © 2007 Nature Publishing Group.

Abstract

Inappropriate data problems due to mismatching of product data quality are always possible in data communication and sharing. In this problem, the data is evaluated as valid within the original system and its initial usage, but problem brake out during the reuse phase of the same data. This delayed problem requires data repair or rework operation in the subsequent manufacturing process and results in significant economic loss. As cause, current product data is a dumb model and its quality is not guaranteed. The receiver system cannot identify whether the data has sufficient quality for reuse or not. Furthermore, manufacture’s advance notice of their request for data quality is impossible. This paper proposes an establishment of PDQ (product data quality) information for communication of data quality that can be used independently or in combination with product data. The PDQ information model presents qualitative measurements according to given criteria, and the measured portion of product data. Based on PDQ model, a PDQ-S (PDQ for shape data) model has been developed. For PDQ-S, industrial guidelines about shape data communication are systematically categorized as the baseline of guarantee. The PDQ model is intended to be independent and neutral from calculation algorithm of measurement. As the method of development, STEP (ISO 10303: Standard for the exchange of product model data) architecture was adopted and the PDQ model was developed as a resource of STEP standards. We show an example about combination of shape data and concerned quality guarantying data.Copyright © 2007 by ASME

Abstract

A 57 year old female non-smoker with no asbestos exposure was admitted with right chest pain and fever. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a huge mass occupying the right hemithorax (fig 1). She underwent right posterolateral thoractomy following a negative bronchoscopic examination with transbronchial lung biopsy and transthoracic needle biopsy. A giant, well circumscribed, lobulated solitary tumour 13 cm in diameter attached with a pedicle to the visceral pleura was surgically removed (fig 2A). Macroscopically, the tumour was nearly protruding …

Abstract

Rapid prototyping (RP) has been developed as a key technology for mechanical manufacturing. STL format is used to transfer model data from CAD systems to RP hardwares, however it has insufficiency for stable and high-quality processing. Here, we analyze requirements for advanced RP applications and propose a conceptual data model. It includes representation of model and process data for manufacturing. These basic specifications could be formalized as a new AP in STEP.

Abstract

This study was carried out to clarify the efficacy of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in the diagnosis of biliary tract diseases, Three hundred and eleven patients who underwent MRCP and ERCP during the period from January 1999 to December 1999 at our institution were included in the study. Two gastroenterologists who were blinded to results of direct cholangiography and final diagnoses interpreted MRCP images prospectively. The biliary duct was visualized by MRCP and ERCP in 99.4% and 89.5% of the cases, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRCP in the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis were 95%, 97%, and 97%, respectively. MRCP depicted the presence of strictures with a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 97%, 96%, and 96%, respectively. There were three false-positive cases because of artifacts from arterial compression, The accuracy of MRCP and ERCP in differentiation of benign strictures from malignant ones was 85% and 96%, respectively. Based on these results, it is concluded that MRCP has high capability in visualization of the biliary tree, and in detection of stones and strictures, To avoid over and under-diagnosis, awareness of some pitfalls inherent in, MRCP is important. We suggest that MRCP should be recommended for patients with suspicion of biliary tract diseases in the initial stage of making diagnosis.

Abstract

GTP-binding proteins are involved in cell proliferation, development, signal transduction, protein elongation, etc. and construct the GTPase superfamily, whose structures and sequence motifs (G-1 to G-5) are highly conserved from prokaryote to eukaryote. Obg of Bacillus subtilis and Obg homologues of other bacteria belong to the GTPase superfamily and have been suggested as being essential for cell growth, development and monitoring of intracellular levels of GTP. We identified the Obg homologue in Escherichia coli, a protein previously known as YhbZ, which we have renamed ObgE. Double cross-over experiments showed that the obgE gene is essential for growth in E. coli. From characterization of the obgE temperature-sensitive mutant, we found that DNA replication was not inhibited, that the nucleoids did not partition and instead remained in the middle of cell, and that the cells elongated. Overproduction of ObgE also resulted in aberrant chromosome segregation. These data suggested that ObgE is involved directly or indirectly in E. coli chromosome partitioning. Characterization studies showed that ObgE is abundant in normal cells, partially associated with the membrane and does not associate with ribosomes such as in Obg of B. subtilis. We purified ObgE protein from a cell extract of E. coli, and the purified ObgE had GTPase activity and DNA-binding ability.
