Abstract

The first experiments on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) have employed the first four beams to measure propagation and laser backscattering losses in large ignition-size plasmas. Gas-filled targets between 2 mm and 7 mm length have been heated from one side by overlapping the focal spots of the four beams from one quad operated at 351 nm (3ω) with a total intensity of 2×1015W cm-2. The targets were filled with 1 atm of CO2 producing of up to 7 mm long homogeneously heated plasmas with densities of ne = 6 × 1020cm-3 and temperatures of Te = 2 keV. The high energy in a NIF quad of beams of 16kJ, illuminating the target from one direction, creates unique conditions for the study of laser plasma interactions at scale lengths not previously accessible. The propagation through the large-scale plasma was measured with a gated x-ray imager that was filtered for 3.5 keVx rays. These data indicate that the beams interact with the full length of this ignition-scale plasma during the last ∼1 ns of the experiment. During that time, the full aperture measurements of the stimulated Brillouin scattering and stimulated Raman scattering show scattering into the four focusing lenses of 3% for the smallest length (∼2 mm), increasing to 10-12% for ∼7 mm. These results demonstrate the NIF experimental capabilities and further provide a benchmark for three-dimensional modeling of the laser-plasma interactions at ignition-size scale lengths.

Abstract

Every step of microplastic analysis (collection, extraction and characterization) is time-consuming, representing an obstacle to the implementation of large scale monitoring. This study proposes a semi-automated Raman micro-spectroscopy method coupled to static image analysis that allows the screening of a large quantity of microplastic in a time-effective way with minimal machine operator intervention. The method was validated using 103 particles collected at the sea surface spiked with 7 standard plastics: morphological and chemical characterization of particles was performed in <3h. The method was then applied to a larger environmental sample (n=962 particles). The identification rate was 75% and significantly decreased as a function of particle size. Microplastics represented 71% of the identified particles and significant size differences were observed: polystyrene was mainly found in the 2-5mm range (59%), polyethylene in the 1-2mm range (40%) and polypropylene in the 0.335-1mm range (42%)., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract

Background: This study was undertaken to identify the prevalence of pulmonary embolism (PE) in the emergency department (ED) of an urban teaching hospital and also to test a Bayesian model in estimating the number of CT pulmonary angiography (CTA) expected to be performed in an emergency department., Methods: The data for this study was obtained through a retrospective review of electronic medical records for all ED patients suspected of PE who underwent chest CTA or ventilation perfusion scanning (V/Q) between 2009 and 2010. The data is presented as means and standard deviation for continuous variables and percentages with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for proportions. The prevalence of PE was used as pre-test probability in the Bayesian model. Post-test probability was obtained using a Fagan nomogram and likelihood ratios for CTA., Results: A total of 778 patients (560 females) with mean age of 50 years (range 18-98 years) were enrolled (98.3% underwent chest CTA and 1.7% underwent V/Q scan). A total of 69 patients had PE, rendering an overall prevalence of 8.9% (95%CI, 7.1% to 11.1%) for PE. We calculated that 132 CTA's per year could be avoided in our institution, without compromising safe exclusions of PE (keeping post-test probability of PE below 2%)., Conclusions: Despite differences in our patient populations and /or study designs, the prevalence of PE in our institution is about average compared to other institutions. Our proposed model for calculating redundant chest CTA is simple and can be used by institutions to identify overuse of CTA.
