Abstract: Snort is one of the well-known signature-based network intrusion detection systems (NIDS). The Snort sensor placement must be in the same physical network. The defense center in the typical NIDS architecture cause limited network coverage to be monitored, especially for remote networks with restricted bandwidth and network policy. Moreover, the increasing number of sensor instances, followed by a rapid increase in log data volume, caused the existing system to face Big data challenges. This research paper aims to propose a novel design of cloud-based Snort NIDS using containers and implementing Big data in the defense center to overcome these problems. Our design consists of Docker as the sensor's platform, Apache Kafka as the distributed messaging system, and various big data technology orchestrated on lambda architecture. Experiments are conducted to measure sensor deployment, optimum message delivery from sensors to the defense center, and aggregation speed, and data processing performance efficiency on the defense center. In summary, we successfully developed a cloud-based Snort NIDS and found the optimum message delivery method from the sensor to the defense center. Our design also represents the first report on implementing the Big data architecture, namely lambda architecture, to the defense center as a part of a network security monitoring platform.

Abstract: Background The Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction recommends the 99th centile diagnostic threshold using a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assay and the classification of patients by the etiology of myocardial injury. Whether implementation of this definition improves risk stratification, treatment or outcomes is unknown. Methods In a stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial, we implemented a high-sensitivity troponin assay and the recommendations of the Universal Definition in 48,282 consecutive patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome across ten hospitals. In a pre-specified secondary analysis, we compared the primary outcome of myocardial infarction or cardiovascular death, and secondary outcome of non-cardiovascular death at one year across diagnostic categories as per the Fourth Universal Definition. We applied competing risks methodology in all analyses, using a cumulative incidence function and determining the cause-specific hazard ratio (csHR) for competing outcomes. Results Cardiac troponin concentrations were elevated in 21.5% (10,360/48,282) of all trial participants. Implementation increased the diagnosis of type 1 myocardial infarction by 11% (510/4,471), type 2 myocardial infarction by 22% (205/916), acute myocardial injury by 36% (443/1,233) and chronic myocardial injury by 43% (389/898). The risk and rate of the primary outcome was highest in those with type 1 myocardial infarction, whereas the risk and rate of non-cardiovascular death was highest in those with acute myocardial injury (Table, Figure). Despite increases in anti-platelet therapy and coronary revascularization after implementation, the primary outcome was unchanged in patients with type 1 myocardial infarction (csHR 1.00, 95% CI 0.82 to 1.21), or in any other category. Adjusted csHR for competing outcomes Myocardial infarction or cardiovascular death Non-cardiovascular death Adjusted csHR (95% CI) Adjusted csHR (95% CI) Type 1 myocardial infarction 5.64 (5.12 to 6.22) 0.83 (0.72 to 0.96) Type 2 myocardial infarction 3.50 (2.94 to 4.15) 1.72 (1.44 to 2.06) Acute myocardial injury 4.38 (3.80 to 5.05) 2.65 (2.33 to 3.00) Chronic myocardial injury 3.88 (3.31 to 4.55) 2.06 (1.77 to 2.40) Cox regression models adjusted for age, sex, diabetes, ischaemic heart disease, season, days since trial onset and site of recruitment (as a random effect). Cumulative incidence and number at risk Conclusions Implementation of the recommendations of the Universal Definition identified patients with different risks of future cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular events, but did not improve outcomes. Greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms and effective strategies for the investigation and treatment of patients with myocardial injury and infarction are required if we are to improve outcomes.

Abstract: The data taken with the ANTARES neutrino telescope from 2007 to 2010, a total live time of 863 days, are used to measure the oscillation parameters of atmospheric neutrinos. Muon tracks are reconstructed with energies as low as 20 GeV. Neutrino oscillations will cause a suppression of vertical upgoing muon neutrinos of such energies crossing the Earth. The parameters determining the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos are extracted by fitting the event rate as a function of the ratio of the estimated neutrino energy and reconstructed flight path through the Earth. Measurement contours of the oscillation parameters in a two-flavour approximation are derived. Assuming maximal mixing, a mass difference of Delta m(32)(2) = (3.1 +/- 0.9) . 10(-3) eV(2) is obtained, in good agreement with the world average value. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: Free-electron lasers (FELs) are promising devices for generating light with laser-like properties in the extreme ultraviolet and X-ray spectral regions. Recently, FELs based on the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) mechanism have allowed major breakthroughs in diffraction and spectroscopy applications, despite the relatively large shot-to-shot intensity and photon-energy fluctuations and the limited longitudinal coherence inherent in the SASE mechanism. Here, we report results on the initial performance of the FERMI seeded FEL, based on the high-gain harmonic generation configuration, in which an external laser is used to initiate the emission process. Emission from the FERMI FEL-1 source occurs in the form of pulses carrying energy of several tens of microjoules per pulse and tunable throughout the 65 to 20 nm wavelength range, with unprecedented shot-to-shot wavelength stability, low-intensity fluctuations, close to transform-limited bandwidth, transverse and longitudinal coherence and full control of polarization.

Abstract: Data from the Pierre Auger Observatory are analyzed to search for anisotropies near the direction of the Galactic Centre at EeV energies. The exposure of the surface array in this part of the sky is already significantly larger than that of the fore-runner experiments. Our results do not support previous findings of localized excesses in the AGASA and SUGAR data. We set an upper bound on a point-like flux of cosmic rays arriving from the Galactic Centre which excludes several scenarios predicting sources of EeV neutrons from Sagittarius $A$. Also the events detected simultaneously by the surface and fluorescence detectors (the `hybrid' data set), which have better pointing accuracy but are less numerous than those of the surface array alone, do not show any significant localized excess from this direction., Comment: Matches published version

Abstract: SCOTT is an ASIC designed for the readout electronics of photomultiplier tubes developed for KM3NeT, the cubic-kilometer scale neutrino telescope in Mediterranean Sea. To digitize the PMT signals, the multi-time-over-threshold technique is used with up to 16 adjustable thresholds. Digital outputs of discriminators feed a circular sampling memory and a “first in first out” digital memory. A specific study has shown that five specifically chosen thresholds are suited to reach the required timing accuracy. A dedicated method based on the duration of the signal over a given threshold allows an equivalent timing precision at any charge. To verify that the KM3NeT requirements are fulfilled, this method is applied on PMT signals digitized by SCOTT.

Abstract: We report on the status of the project to install large-area triple-foil gas electron multiplier (GEM) detectors in the end-cap muon system of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the LHC operating at the high luminosity planned after the current period of data-taking (run 2). In the pseudo-rapidity region $1.6 < \lvert\eta\rvert < 2.4$, the GEM detectors will suppress the rate of background triggers while maintaining high trigger efficiency for low transverse momentum muons, and enhancing the robustness of muon detection in the high-flux environment of the end-cap region. GEM detectors will also be used to extend the range of muon identification up to about $\lvert\eta\rvert = 3.0$. We describe the design of the GEM chambers, readout electronics, and data acquisition system for the three stations in each endcap, located at increasing distances from the interaction point. For the intermediate station, the design is fixed and we describe plans to install several of the intermediate station detectors in the CMS detector during the current data-taking period, run 2. We describe the design and requirements for GEM (and other micro-pattern gas detector) systems for the innermost and outermost stations. Compact, fast-timing designs are under consideration for the innermost station. Mechanical design for the outermost station, which requires the largest detector area of the three stations, is also described. In order to cope with the harsh environment expected from the high luminosity LHC, the CMS forward muon system requires an upgrade. The two main challenges expected in this environment are an increase in the trigger rate and increased background radiation leading to a potential degradation of the particle ID performance. Additionally, upgrades to other subdetectors of CMS allow for extended coverage for particle tracking, and adding muon system coverage to this region will further enhance the performance of CMS.

Abstract: Micropattern gaseous detectors (MPGD) underwent significant upgrades in recent years, introducing resistive materials to build compact spark-protected devices. Exploiting this technology further, various features such as space and time resolution, rate capability, sensitive area, operational stability and radiation hardness can be improved. This contribution introduces a new type of MPGD, namely the Fast Timing Micropattern (FTM) detector, utilizing a fully resistive WELL structure. It consists of a stack of several coupled layers where drift and WELL multiplication stages alternate in the structure, yielding a significant improvement in timing properties due to competing ionization processes in the different drift regions. Two FTM prototypes have been developed so far. The first one is uWELL-like, where multiplication takes place in the holes of a kapton foil covered on both sides with resistive material. The second one has a resistive Micromegas-like structure, with multiplication developing in a region delimited by a resistive mesh. The structure of these prototypes will be described in detail and the results of the characterization study performed with an X-Ray generator with two different gas mixtures will be presented. First results on rate capability and time resolution based on data collected with cosmic rays and muon/pion test beams will also be presented. This contribution introduces a new type of Micropattern Gaseous Detector, the Fast Timing Micropattern (FTM) detector, utilizing fully Resistive WELL structures. The structure of the prototype will be described in detail and the results of the characterization study performed with an X-ray gun will be presented, together with the first results on time resolution based on data collected with muon/pion test beams.

Abstract: KM3NeT aims to build a cubic-kilometer scale neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea based on a 3D array of photomultiplier tubes. A dedicated ASIC, named SCOTT, has been developed for the readout electronics of the PMTs: it uses up to 16 adjustable thresholds to digitize the signals with the multi-time-over-threshold technique. Digital outputs of discriminators feed a circular sampling memory and a “first in first out” digital memory for derandomization. At the end of the data processing, the ASIC produces a digital waveform sampled at 800 MHz. A specific study was carried out to process PMT data and has showed that five specifically chosen thresholds are suited to reach the required timing precision. A dedicated method based on the duration of the signal over a given threshold allows an equivalent timing precision at any charge. A charge estimator using the information from the thresholds allows a charge determination within less than 20% up to 60 pe.

Abstract: FERMI@elettra is a fourth-generation light source user facility under construction at the Elettra Laboratory in Trieste, Italy. The high-quality 1.2 GeV electron beam drives two-seeded Free Electron Lasers (FELs) in the wavelength range 100−10 nm. Wavelength tunability, variable polarization and higher electron beam energies to reach even shorter output wavelengths are also in the machine delivery plan. This paper describes the physics processes that have been modelled to simulate FERMI@elettra and the computer codes used to optimize the machine design. The paper focuses on several design challenges and how these translate into modelling and simulation challenges.

17. Relationship between structure of hydrocolloid gels and solutions and flavour release

Abstract: To provide further insight into the relationship between the structure of hydrocolloid solutions and gels and perception of taste and flavour, solutions of gelatin and locust bean gum (LBG), and gels prepared from mixtures of (a) high acetyl and low acetyl and gellan (b) carrageenan and LBG were studied. Both the solutions contained sodium chloride and the gels were flavoured with ethyl butyrate. The gels were classified from rheological measurements into three categories: strong/brittle, intermediate and soft/elastic. Volatile release was measured by monitoring nose space volatile concentration during consumption using atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation-mass spectrometry (APCI–MS). In addition headspace measurements were performed with APCI–MS. The headspace concentrations did not exhibit significant differences between the gels system but the release of ethyl butyrate in-nose was affected by the matrix, showing a higher intensity for the more brittle gels containing high levels of low acetyl gellan. The release of Na+ following a two-bite compression was monitored by the use of an ion-specific electrode. The more brittle gels containing high levels of low acetyl gellan and high amount of κ-carrageenan exhibited significantly higher release of Na+. Strain at break correlated inversely with salt release (r2=−0.87) and more weakly inversely with the maximum nose space volatile concentration (r2=−0.55). When LBG solutions containing salt were mixed with distilled water it was found that both salt release and mixing efficiency decreased at polysaccharide concentrations above c*. In contrast gelatin solutions, measured at 50 °C, maintained good salt release and mixing behaviour at high concentrations. It is concluded that the intensity of flavour perception in hydrocolloid solutions and gels is dominated by the release of the tastant. In solutions this is favoured by good mixing behaviour between the hydrocolloid solution and saliva and in gels by a low strain at break. A gelatin replacement should not only show melt in the mouth behaviour but good mixing between the gelatin melt and the saliva.

Abstract: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector installed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has an extensive muon system which provides information simultaneously for identification, track reconstruction and triggering of muons. As a consequence of the extreme particle rate and high integrated charge, the essentiality to upgrade the LHC has given rise to the High Luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC) project so that the CMS muon system will be upgraded with superior technological challenges. The CMS GEM collaboration offers a solution to equip the high-eta region of the muon system for Phase 2 (after the year 2017) with large-area triple-layer Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors, since GEMs have the ability to provide robust and redundant tracking and triggering functions with an excellent spatial resolution of order 100 micron and a high particle rate capability, with a close to 100% detection efficiency. In this contribution, the present status of the triple-GEM project will be reviewed, and the significant achievements from the start of the R&D in 2009 will be emphasized.

Abstract: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is one of the two general-purpose detectors at the CERN LHC. LHC will provide exceptional high instantaneous and integrated luminosity after second long shutdown. The forward region |η| ≥ 1:5 of CMS detector will face extremely high particle rates in tens of kHz/cm2 and hence it will affect the momentum resolution, efficiency and longevity of the muon detectors. Here, η is pseudorapidity defined as η = −ln(tan(θ/2)), where θ is the polar angle measured from z-axis. To overcome these issues the CMSGEM collaboration has proposed to install new large size rate capable Triple Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors in the forward region of CMS muon system. The first set of Triple GEM detectors will be installed in the GE1/1 region (1:6 2 (70/30) and Ar/CO 2 /CF 4 (45/15/40). In 2014, good quality data was collected during test beam campaigns. In this paper, the performance of the detectors is summarized based on their tracking efficiency and time resolution.

Abstract: A search for neutrino-induced muons in correlation with a selection of 40 gamma-ray bursts that occurred in 2007 has been performed with the ANTARES neutrino telescope. During that period, the detector consisted of 5 detection lines. The ANTARES neutrino telescope is sensitive to TeV-PeV neutrinos that are predicted from gamma-ray bursts. No events were found in correlation with the prompt photon emission of the gamma-ray bursts and upper limits have been placed on the flux and fluence of neutrinos for different models., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat à l’ énergie atomique et aux énergies alter-natives (CEA), Agence National de la Recherche (ANR), Commission Européenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Région Alsace (contrat CPER), Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Département du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium fúr Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS - UEFI SCDI), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Brometeo of Generalitat Valenciana and MultiDark, Spain; Agence de l’Oriental, Morocco.

Abstract: Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) are a proven position sensitive gas detector technology which nowadays is becoming more widely used in High Energy Physics. GEMs offer an excellent spatial resolution and a high particle rate capability, with a close to 100% detection efficiency. In view of the high luminosity phase of the CERN Large Hadron Collider, these aforementioned features make GEMs suitable candidates for the future upgrades of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector. In particular, the CMS GEM Collaboration proposes to cover the high-eta region of the muon system with large-area triple-GEM detectors, which have the ability to provide robust and redundant tracking and triggering functions. In this contribution, after a general introduction and overview of the project, the construction of full-size trapezoidal triple-GEM prototypes will be described in more detail. The procedures for the quality control of the GEM foils, including gain uniformity measurements with an x-ray source will be presented. In the past few years, several CMS triple-GEM prototype detectors were operated with test beams at the CERN SPS. The results of these test beam campaigns will be summarised., 0, SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

24. In-Mouth Amylase Activity Can Reduce Perception of Saltiness in Starch-Thickened Foods

Abstract: Sensory scores for saltiness and thickness obtained for savory liquids thickened with starches or the nonstarch hydrocolloid hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) were correlated with the panelists' amylase activity. Although higher enzyme activities were linked to lower thickness scores for systems thickened by starch, they were also associated with a decreased taste perception, particularly for starches retaining a granular structure after gelatinization (wheat and modified waxy maize). Microscopic evidence showed that the enzyme can disrupt such structures, and this is associated with a decreased mixing efficiency with water and consequently a reduced transport of tastant (sodium) to the saliva (aqueous) phase and to the taste buds. This explains the lower saltiness scores for subjects with higher amylase activity, even if they are associated with a lower perceived thickness.

Abstract: Involuntary movements, or dyskinesia, represent a debilitating complication of levodopa therapy for Parkinson's disease. Taking advantage of a monkey brain bank constituted to study the pathophysiology of levodopa-induced dyskinesia, we here report the changes affecting D1, D2 and D3 dopamine receptors within the striatum of four experimental groups of non-human primates: normal, parkinsonian, parkinsonian treated with levodopa without or with dyskinesia. We also report the possible role of arrestin and G protein-coupled receptor kinases.

Abstract: Resume Introduction. – La morbidite des pseudarthroses de l'humerus n'est pas negligeable, les buts de cette etude retrospective etaient d'apprecier les resultats de ces reprises difficiles et d'essayer de codifier la prise en charge chirurgicale. Patients et methodes. – Entre 1996 et 2000, 21 patients ont ete operes d'une pseudarthrose de la diaphyse humerale. A la revision, l'âge moyen etait de 40 ans. Les causes du traumatisme initial etaient : 12 AVP, sept chutes de hauteur d'homme, une defenestration, un accident de travail par machine agricole. Les localisations de la fracture etaient le plus souvent au niveau du tiers moyen. Dans 17 cas de reprise pour pseudarthrose, l'osteosynthese etait effectuee par plaque vissee. Trois patients ont beneficie d'un fixateur externe devant l'existence d'un sepsis. Un patient a ete osteosynthese par un clou verrouille de type Seidel. Dans six cas il s'agissait de la prise en charge d'une pseudarthrose iterative dont une patiente qui a ce jour n'a toujours pas consolide. Nous avons utilise le score de la Societe d'orthopedie de l'ouest (SOO). Resultats. – Selon le score d'evaluation de la « SOO » nous avons constate : dix tres bons resultats, cinq bons resultats, trois resultats moyens, un mauvais resultat. Le seul mauvais resultat correspondait a la patiente chez qui la consolidation n'a pas ete obtenue. Discussion et conclusion. – Le traitement plus precoce des pseudarthroses d'humerus parait justifie, cependant le meilleur traitement des pseudarthroses d'humerus reste celui de la prise en charge de la fracture initiale.

Abstract: [EN] The MOSCAB experiment (Materia OSCura A Bolle) uses the Geyser technique for dark matter search. The results of the first 0.5 kg mass prototype detector using superheated C3F8 liquid were very encouraging, achieving a 5 keV nuclear recoil threshold with high insensitivity to gamma radiation. Additionally, the technique seems to be easily scalable to higher masses for both in terms of complexity and costs, resulting in a very competitive technique for direct dark matter search, especially for the spin dependent case. Here, we report as well in the construction and commissioning of the big detector of 40 kg at the Milano-Bicocca University. The detector, the calibration tests and the evaluation of the background will be presented. Once demonstrated the functionality of the detector, it will be operated at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in 2015., We acknowledge the financial support of the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN) and Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO), Grants FPA2012-37528-C02-02, and Consolider MultiDark CSD2009-00064, and of the Generalitat Valenciana, Grants ACOMP/2014/153 and PrometeoII/2014/079.

Abstract: Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology is being considered for the forward muon upgrade of the CMS experiment in Phase 2 of the CERN LHC. Its first implementation is planned for the GE1/1 system in the $1.5 < \mid\eta\mid < 2.2$ region of the muon endcap mainly to control muon level-1 trigger rates after the second long LHC shutdown. A GE1/1 triple-GEM detector is read out by 3,072 radial strips with 455 $\mu$rad pitch arranged in eight $\eta$-sectors. We assembled a full-size GE1/1 prototype of 1m length at Florida Tech and tested it in 20-120 GeV hadron beams at Fermilab using Ar/CO$_{2}$ 70:30 and the RD51 scalable readout system. Four small GEM detectors with 2-D readout and an average measured azimuthal resolution of 36 $\mu$rad provided precise reference tracks. Construction of this largest GEM detector built to-date is described. Strip cluster parameters, detection efficiency, and spatial resolution are studied with position and high voltage scans. The plateau detection efficiency is [97.1 $\pm$ 0.2 (stat)]\%. The azimuthal resolution is found to be [123.5 $\pm$ 1.6 (stat)] $\mu$rad when operating in the center of the efficiency plateau and using full pulse height information. The resolution can be slightly improved by $\sim$ 10 $\mu$rad when correcting for the bias due to discrete readout strips. The CMS upgrade design calls for readout electronics with binary hit output. When strip clusters are formed correspondingly without charge-weighting and with fixed hit thresholds, a position resolution of [136.8 $\pm$ 2.5 stat] $\mu$rad is measured, consistent with the expected resolution of strip-pitch/$\sqrt{12}$ = 131.3 $\mu$rad. Other $\eta$-sectors of the detector show similar response and performance., Comment: 8 pages, 32 figures, submitted to Proc. 2014 IEEE Nucl. Sci. Symposium, Seattle, WA, reference added

Abstract: During the next shutdown of the LHC at CERN, the CMS experiment plans to start installing GEM detectors in the endcap (high pseudorapidity) region. These muon detectors have excellent spatial and temporal resolution as well as a high chemical stability and radiation hardness. A report is given on preliminary results of materials studies that aimed to fully characterize the GEM detector components before and after the exposure to a high-radiation environment. © CERN 2014 for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract: The CMS collaboration considers upgrading the muon forward region which is particularly affected by the high-luminosity conditions at the LHC. The proposal involves Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) chambers, which are able to handle the extreme particle rates expected in this region along with a high spatial resolution. This allows to combine tracking and triggering capabilities, which will improve the CMS muon High Level Trigger, the muon identification and the track reconstruction. Intense R&D has been going on since 2009 and it has lead to the development of several GEM prototypes and associated detector electronics. These GEM prototypes have been subjected to extensive tests in the laboratory and in test beams at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). This contribution will review the status of the CMS upgrade project with GEMs and its impact on the CMS performance.

Abstract: Objectives: To determine whether the three mailings routinely used by researchers for epidemiological surveys are useful and appropriate, by comparing social characteristics and selected disease histories to find out if there are differences between individuals responding at different times.Methods: Social characteristics and selected disease histories of 11,797 British women still under general practitioner observation in the Royal College of General Practitioners' Oral Contraception Study were compared. The women aged 40-78 at December 1992 were sent health survey questionnaires via their general practitioners between November 1994 and July 1995.Results: Significant differences in the characteristics of first, second and third mailing respondents and non-respondents were found for smoking habits, social class, parity, area of residence, further contact, bronchitis, hysterectomy and mental illness. First mailing respondents were more likely to be from a non-manual social class, have a parity of less than...

Abstract: The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to Earth-skimming tau neutrinos that interact in Earth’s crust. Tau leptons from ντ charged-current interactions can emerge and decay in the atmosphere to produce a nearly horizontal shower with a significant electromagnetic component. The data collected between 1 January 2004 and 31 August 2007 are used to place an upper limit on the diffuse flux of ντ at EeV energies. Assuming an E−2ν differential energy spectrum the limit set at 90% C.L. is E2νdNντdEν, La lista completa de autores puede verse en el archivo asociado., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: Data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory provide evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of the cosmic rays with the ighest-energies, which are correlated with the positions of relatively nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN) [Pierre Auger Collaboration, Science 318 (2007) 938]. The correlation has maximum significance for cosmic rays with energy greater than ~6 x 1019 eV and AGN at a distance less than ~75 Mpc. We have confirmed the anisotropy at a confidence level of more than 99% through a test with parameters specified a priori, using an independent data set. The observed correlation is compatible with the hypothesis that cosmic rays with the highest-energies originate from extra-galactic sources close enough so that their flux is not significantly attenuated by interaction with the cosmic background radiation (the Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuz’min effect). The angular scale of the correlation observed is a few degrees, which suggests a predominantly light composition unless the magnetic fields are very weak outside the thin disk of our galaxy. Our present data do not identify AGN as the sources of cosmic rays unambiguously, and other candidate sources which are distributed as nearby AGN are not ruled out. We discuss the prospect of unequivocal identification of individual sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays within a few years of continued operation of the Pierre Auger Observatory., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: An upper limit of 16% (at 95% c.l.) is derived for the photon fraction in cosmic rays with energies greater than 1019 eV, based on observations of the depth of shower maximum performed with the hybrid detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory. This is the first such limit on photons obtained by observing the fluorescence light profile of air showers. This upper limit confirms and improves on previous results from the Haverah Park and AGASA surface arrays. Additional data recorded with the Auger surface detectors for a subset of the event sample support the conclusion that a photon origin of the observed events is not favored., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: ANTARES is a neutrino telescope being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of a three dimensional array of photomultiplier tubes that can detect the Cherenkov light induced by charged particles produced in the interactions of neutrinos with the surrounding medium. High angular resolution can be achieved, in particular when a muon is produced, provided that the Cherenkov photons are detected with sufficient timing precision. Considerations of the intrinsic time uncertainties stemming from the transit time spread in the photomultiplier tubes and the mechanism of transmission of light in sea water lead to the conclusion that a relative time accuracy of the order of 0.5 ns is desirable. Accordingly, different time calibration systems have been developed for the ANTARES telescope. In this article, a system based on Optical Beacons, a set of external and well-controlled pulsed light sources located throughout the detector, is described. This calibration system takes into account the optical properties of sea water, which is used as the detection volume of the ANTARES telescope. The design, tests, construction and first results of the two types of beacons, LED and laser-based, are presented., 21 pages, 18 figures, submitted to Nucl. Instr. and Meth. Phys. Res. A

Abstract: In 2005, the ANTARES Collaboration deployed and operated at a depth of 2500 m a so-called Mini Instrumentation Line equipped with Optical Modules (MILOM) at the ANTARES site. The various data acquired during the continuous operation from April to December 2005 of the MILOM confirm the satisfactory performance of the Optical Modules, their front-end electronics and readout system, as well as the calibration devices of the detector. The in-situ measurement of the Optical Module time response yields a resolution better than 0.5 ns. The performance of the acoustic positioning system, which enables the spatial reconstruction of the ANTARES detector with a precision of about 10 cm, is verified. These results demonstrate that with the full ANTARES neutrino telescope the design angular resolution of better than $0.3^\circ$ can be realistically achieved., Comment: 18 pages, 12 figures, submitted to Astroparticle Physics

Abstract: The ANTARES neutrino telescope, to be immersed depth in the Mediterranean Sea, will consist of a 3 dimensional matrix of 900 large area photomultiplier tubes housed in pressure resistant glass spheres. The selection of the optimal photomultiplier was a critical step for the project and required an intensive phase of tests and developments carried out in close collaboration with the main manufacturers worldwide. This paper provides an overview of the tests performed by the collaboration and describes in detail the features of the PMT chosen for ANTARES., Comment: 21 pages, 10 figures.

42. Cardiovascular sequelae of toxaemia of pregnancy

Author: Sybil Hirsch, S. Ferry, and Philip C Hannaford
Subjects: Risk, medicine.medical_specialty, Myocardial Infarction, Myocardial Ischemia, Disease, Angina Pectoris, Cohort Studies, Angina, Pre-Eclampsia, Pregnancy, Thromboembolism, Internal medicine, Epidemiology, medicine, Humans, Myocardial infarction, Prospective cohort study, business.industry, Vascular disease, medicine.disease, United Kingdom, Parity, Cardiovascular Diseases, Hypertension, Cohort, Cardiology, Female, Family Practice, Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine, business, Research Article, Cohort study
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the rate of cardiovascular disease is different among parous women with a general practitioner reported history of toxaemia of pregnancy than among those not reported to have experienced toxaemia, or among nulliparous women. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: 1400 general practitioners throughout the United Kingdom. SUBJECTS: Women who had never used oral contraceptives who were recruited to the Royal College of General Practitioners' oral contraception study (original cohort about 23000). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Age, social class, and smoking standardised incidence rates for hypertensive disease, acute myocardial infarction, other acute ischaemic heart disease, other chronic ischaemic heart disease, angina pectoris, total ischaemic heart disease, total cerebrovascular disease, and total venous thromboembolic disease in the three groups. RESULTS: Compared with parous women with no history of toxaemia, those who had experienced toxaemia had a significantly increased risk of hypertensive disease (relative risk (RR) 2.35), acute myocardial infarction (RR 2.24), chronic ischaemic heart disease (RR 1.74), angina pectoris (RR 1.53), all ischaemic heart disease (RR 1.65), and venous thromboembolism (RR 1.62). The rates for all cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease were also increased but not significantly. Nulliparous women were more likely to develop hypertension or all cerebrovascular disease later in life than parous women without a history of toxaemia. CONCLUSIONS: A history of toxaemia of pregnancy increases the risk of several distinct cardiovascular conditions later in life. Although causality cannot be inferred (other characteristics of the women may account for both an increased risk of toxaemia and a risk of subsequent vascular disease), the findings merit further research because of their potential importance.

Abstract: The dedicated CMS R&D program was intended to study the feasibility of using micropattern detectors for the instrumentation of the vacant vertical bar eta vertical bar > 1.6 region in the present Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) endcap system. The proposed detector for CMS is a Triple-Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) trapezoidal chamber, equipped with 1D readout. While during 2010-2011 the Collaboration worked on the prototyping of the detector, during the first part of 2012 a newly developed assembly technique to be used for the mass production was adopted. GEMs can provide precision tracking and fast trigger information, contributing on one hand to the improvement of the CMS muon Trigger and on the other hand to provide the missing redundancy in the high eta region. In the view of the next LHC long shutdown (LS1) the CMS GEM Collaboration designed and built four full-size Triple GEM based muon detectors.

Abstract: In view of an upgrade of the CMS experiment, the GEM for CMS collaboration is performing feasibility studies on employing Triple-GEM detectors for the high- η region (1.6–2.4) of the CMS endcaps. A detailed review of the development and characterization of the CMS full-size prototype baseline detector will be presented. GEMs have excellent spatial and time resolution, high rate capability and radiation hardness, they are an appealing option for simultaneously enhancing muon tracking and triggering capabilities in the high- η region. The GEM for CMS collaboration has studied the performance of small and full-size prototype detectors during several test beam campaigns in order to validate new technologies and techniques in view of a mass production for CMS experiment. Results from measurements with x-rays and from test beam campaigns at the CERN SPS will be shown from both small and large prototypes.

Abstract: This paper describes the parameters that characterize methohexital-albumin binding and the influence of physiological or analytical factors on this binding. Two useful and reproducible methods for measuring the free concentration-equilibrium dialysis (ED) and ultrafiltration (UF)-are described and their performances are compared. Methohexital binds exclusively to albumin according to a two-class binding model. The first is a saturable class site of high affinity constant (KA = 11 200 M-1) and a number of sites per albumin molecule of 1. The second is a non-saturable site of poorer affinity (nKA = 810 M-1). The bound fraction of methohexital in the therapeutic range and at physiological albumin concentration is 86.7 +/- 0.9% in isolated albumin solution. In serum, it ranges from 80 to 84.5%, according to subjects (n = 6). Binding is inhibited by the presence of endogenous compounds of serum (for a given albumin concentration the bound fraction decreases from 90.3% in isolated albumin solution to 82.6% in serum), probably by free fatty acids. An increase in the bound fraction is observed when the pH is increased from 7 to 9. This phenomenon may be explained by a higher affinity of the drug towards the basic (B-form) conformation of the albumin molecule, in analogy with the close barbiturate thiopental. A decrease in the bound fraction against temperature is shown, as though binding forces diminished with increase in temperature. Indeed, the binding modification is less pronounced in the presence of serum endogenous compounds. As expected, there is no evidence of any effect of heparin anticoagulant on the bound fraction. Methohexital binding is strongly modified by the albumin concentration; the bound fractions change from 67 to 91% in the albumin range 150-900 microM.

Abstract: Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) are an interesting technology under consideration for the future upgrade of the forward region of the CMS muon system, specifically in the 1.6 < ∣η∣ < 2:4 endcap region. With a sufficiently fine segmentation GEMs can provide precision tracking as well as fast trigger information. The main objective is to contribute to the improvement of the CMS muon trigger. The construction of large-area GEM detectors is challenging both from the technological and production aspects. In view of the CMS upgrade we have designed and built the largest full-size Triple-GEM muon detector, which is able to meet the stringent requirements given the hostile environment at the high-luminosity LHC. Measurements were performed during several test beam campaigns at the CERN SPS in 2010 and 2011. The main issues under study are efficiency, spatial resolution and timing performance with different inter-electrode gap configurations and gas mixtures. In this paper results of the performance of the prototypes at the beam tests will be discussed.

49. Concentrations plasmatiques du diltiazem et de ses métabolites en chirurgie coronarienne : relation avec le traitement préopératoire

Abstract: Preoperative oral administration of calcium channel blocking agents has been found ineffective to prevent perioperative myocardial ischaemia. Our hypothesis was that low plasma concentrations may account for this inefficiency. Twenty-three male patients, scheduled for surgical myocardial revascularisation, were administered their usual anti-anginal treatment, including 180 to 360 mg of diltiazem since more than one week. The usual dosage was given at 8.00 p.m. on the day before surgery. On the morning of surgery, after withdrawal of a first blood sample, 60 mg of diltiazem were administered per month before the induction of anaesthesia. The anaesthesia was obtained with fentanyl, midazolam or flunitrazepam, pancuronium and isoflurane as required. The cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was associated with total haemodilution with Ringer's Lactate and a membrane oxygenator. A second blood sample was withdrawn after CPB. Plasma concentrations of diltiazem and its two active metabolites, N-monodemethyldiltiazem (MA) and desacetyldiltiazem (M1), were assessed by HPLC. Plasma diltiazem concentrations decreased from 78 +/- 66 (mean +/- SD) to 51 +/- 42 micrograms.l-1 (p < 0.05) with wide individual variations. These concentrations were under therapeutic levels in 18 out of 23 patients before (p < 0.05) with wide individual variations. These concentrations were under therapeutic levels in 18 out of 23 patients before induction and in 22 patients after CPB. The metabolite/diltiazem ratios remained constant. A dosage-plasma concentration relationship was observed preoperatively with diltiazem and MA. It is concluded that plasma concentrations of diltiazem should be optimized preoperatively in order to prevent myocardial ischaemia.
