Hungaria asteroid family as the source of aubrite meteorites

The Hungaria asteroids are interior to the main asteroid belt, with semimajor axes between 1.8 and 2AU, low eccentricities and inclinations of 16–35°. Small asteroids in the Hungaria region are dominated by a collisional family associated with (434) Hungaria. The dominant spectral type of the Hungaria group is the E or X-type (Warner et al. [2009]. Icarus, 204, 172–182), mostly due to the E-type composition of Hungaria and its genetic family. It is widely believed the E-type asteroids are related to the aubrite meteorites, also known as enstatite achondrites (Gaffey et al. [1992]. Icarus, 100, 95–109). Here we explore the hypothesis that aubrites originate in the Hungaria family. In order to test this connection, we compare model Cosmic Ray Exposure ages from orbital integrations of model meteoroids with those of aubrites. We show that long CRE ages of aubrites (longest among stony meteorite groups) reflect the delivery route of meteoroids from Hungarias to Earth being different than those from main-belt asteroids. We find that the meteoroids from Hungarias predominantly reach Earth by Yarkovsky-drifting across the orbit of Mars, with no assistance from orbital resonances. We conclude that the CRE ages of aubrites are fully consistent with a dominant source at the inner boundary of the Hungaria family at 1.7AU. From here, meteoroids reach Earth through the Mars-crossing region, with relatively quick delivery times favored due to collisions (with Hungarias and the inner main-belt objects). We find that, after Vesta, (434) Hungaria is the best candidate for an asteroidal source of an achondrite group.

A medico-legal view on the importance of the external examination of the traumatized patient

Introduction. the correct registration of the external traumatic lesions is extremely important in the clinical management of the trauma, as well as in its forensic and judicial assessment. Nevertheless, the quantity and quality of the information registered in the observation charts may be suboptimal, thus significantly affecting the forensic assessment regarding the cause of death, the relationship between lesions and death, and therefore the judicial implications of the case. Material and method. We have conducted a study on a sample of 77 consecutive deaths by violence, all examined at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Iasi. A comparative analysis was conducted of the external lesions documentation in the observation chart and the forensic autopsy report, and a degree of consistency was established between the two. For each case a series of data was collected and then statistically analyzed in order to observe the existence of a correlation between the degree of accordance and of the two examinations and the registered parameters. Results. the present study has found 62.3% discordant cases. From the selected parameters, three were correlated to the degree of concordance, having the capacity to foretell whether an external lesion would be registered correctly in the observation chart: the biochemical analysis level - patients who received complete blood investigations were more frequently subject to complete skin examination in the clinic; the existence of a surgical intervention - concordance was higher in patients who suffered a surgical intervention during hospitalization; cause and context of death - patients who died as a result of burns or electrocution showed perfect concordance in 100 % of cases, while less than 3 % of patients who died in the context of aggression were recorded all types of injury. Conclusions. Better documentation of external injuries in hospital is many times essential for the medico-legal evaluation and the subsequent judicial implications. While there are factors that may explain the disregard of the registration of all traumatic marks, in the context of lack of time and the need for quick delivery of treatment, the importance of the observation sheet as a document of medico-legal and legal value must be recognized by all physicians.

SU-E-T-226: Junction Free Craniospinal Irradiation in Linear Accelerator Using Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy : A Novel Technique Using Dose Tapering

Purpose: Spatially separated fields are required for craniospinal irradiation due to field size limitation in linear accelerator. Field junction shits are conventionally done to avoid hot or cold spots. Our study was aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of junction free irradiation plan of craniospinal irradiation (CSI) for Meduloblastoma cases treated in linear accelerator using Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) technique. Methods: VMAT was planned using multiple isocenters in Monaco V 3.3.0 and delivered in Elekta Synergy linear accelerator. A full arc brain and 40° posterior arc spine fields were planned using two isocentre for short ( 10 cm) at the conventional field junction. Results: In this primary study five patients were planned and three patients were delivered using this novel technique. As the dose contribution from the adjacent beams were varied (gradient) to create a complete dose distribution, therefore there is no specific junction exists in the plan. The junction were extended from 10–14 cm dependingmore » on treatment plan. Dose gradient were 9.6±2.3% per cm for brain and 7.9±1.7 % per cm for spine field respectively. Dose delivery error due to positional inaccuracy was calculated for brain and spine field for ±1mm, ±2mm, ±3mm and ±5 mm were 1%–0.8%, 2%–1.6%, 2.8%–2.4% and 4.3%–4% respectively. Conclusion: Dose tapering in junction free CSI do not require a junction shift. Therefore daily imaging for all the field is also not essential. Due to inverse planning dose to organ at risk like thyroid kidney, heart and testis can be reduced significantly. VMAT gives a quicker delivery than Step and shoot or dynamic IMRT.« less

기능주도개발 Agile 방법을 사용할 때의 안전한 소프트웨어 개발에 관한 문헌연구

Agile 방법론은 시간적 제약하에서도 효율적인 개발 프로세스로 빠르게 제품을 완성할 수 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 scrum, XP, DSDM 등과 같은 여타 Agile 방법들처럼 기능주도개발 (FDD) Agile 방법도 보안요소의 불가용성으로 인해 비판을 받고 있다. 이러한 이슈를 보다 자세히 살펴보기 위해 본 연구는 2001년부터 2012년사이에 나타난 연구들에 대한 체계적인 문헌연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과, 현재 FDD 방법은 안전한 소프트웨어 개발을 부분적으로 지원하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 안전한 소프트웨어 사용에 관한 상세한 정보가 문헌에 거의 나타나고 있지 않은 것으로 보아 이 분야에 대한 연구 노력은 거의 없어 보인다. 따라서 현재의 5단계 FDD 방법은 안전한 소프트웨어 개발에 충분하지 않음을 알 수 있고 결국, 본 연구는 FDD 방법에서 보안에 기반을 둔 새로운 수행 단계와 프랙티스가 제안될 필요가 있음을 보여준다. Agile methodologies have gained recognition as efficient development processes through their quick delivery of software, even under time constraints. However, like other agile methods such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP) and The Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Feature Driven Development (FDD) has been criticized due to the unavailability of security elements in its twelve practices. In order to examine this matter more closely, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) and studied literature for the years 2001-2012. Our findings highlight that, in its current form, the FDD model partially supports the development of secure software. However, there is little research on this topic, as detailed information about the usage of secure software is rarely published. Thus, we have been able to conclude that the existing five phases of FDD have not been enough to develop secure software until recently. For this reason, security-based phase and practices in FDD need to be proposed.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide1. They are present in 6-8% of young mothers and the prevalence increases with advancing age. The purpose of this study was to study all patients of with hypertensive disorder of pregnancy admitted in Sultania Lady Hospital, Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal which is a tertiary care centre, classify them and analyse the maternal and fetal outcomes associated.This was a prospective study carried out in Department of Obstetrics &Gynecology, Sultania Lady Hospital, Gandhi medical college Bhopal over a duration of 1 year. Total of 1633 patients were admitted with various hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.Hypertensive disorders are associated with many antepartum and intrapartum complications like placental insufficiency, abruption placentae hence the SB rate is so high. Besides the prematurity in these patients is mostly iatrogenic as delivery of baby and placenta is the only definitive treatment of preeclampsia/ eclampsia.Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a wide spectrum with multifactorial etiology and significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is possible to reduce the severity of disease and its effect with good antenatal care, timely intervention and quick delivery. INTRODUCTION: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide 1 . They are present in 6-8% of young mothers and the prevalence increases with advancing age 2 . Preeclampsia/ eclampsia is an unpredictable multiorgan disorder unique to human pregnancy whose exact etiology still remains unknown. It has been thought to be neurological, renal, hepatic, hypertensive and recently placental disorder. It is associated with high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality which is declining with improvement in treatment facilities. There are many different treatment regimens for eclampsia, best and most widely used being Mag. sulf therapy. Magnesium sulphate therapy and prompt delivery in eclampsia has improved maternal and fetal outcome considerably.

Reliability Analysis Considering the Component Collision Behavior for a Large‐scale Open Source Solution

Open source software systems that serve as key components of critical infrastructures in the society are still ever‐expanding now. Many open source software systems are developed in all parts of the world, that is, Firefox, Apache HTTP server, Linux, Android, and so on. Especially, a large‐scale open source solution composed of several open source software is now attracting attention as a next‐generation software development paradigm because of the cost reduction, quick delivery, and work saving. In this paper, we propose a new approach to software reliability assessment based on stochastic differential equations and a hierarchical Bayesian model in order to consider the interesting aspect of the collision status in the binding phase of open source software. Also, we analyze actual software fault‐count data to show numerical examples of software reliability assessment considering the component collision for several open source software. Moreover, we show that the proposed reliability analysis can assist improvement of quality for the large‐scale open source solution. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Stroke Severity as Well as Time Should Determine Stroke Patient Triage

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke studies,1 published in 1995, demonstrated for the first time that in patients selected by clinical and noncontrast computed tomography criteria, intravenous TPA (IV tissue plasminogen activator) resulted in improved outcomes compared with standard treatment. Since that time, safe and quick delivery of IV TPA has become the primary focus of acute stroke management and forever changed the way that acute stroke care is delivered. The most important variable that predicts response to treatment is time from symptom onset to treatment initiation.2,3 On the basis of European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study III (ECASS III),4 treatment with IV TPA in Europe is approved out to 4.5 hours, but the benefit of treatment if started >3 hours is marginal if any. IV TPA is not approved >3 hours in the United States and best results occur if treatment is started within 2 hours. The number needed to treat of 3.1 within 3 hours5 is probablyμ2 if treatment is started within 2 hours. Recently, this lesson has been reinforced by the International Stroke Trial (IST),6 which once again confirmed that time is the most important determination of IV TPA benefit, and that other criteria, such as advanced age and increased stroke severity, commonly used to exclude patients from treatment, do not in fact preclude benefit.7 Although such a narrow time window necessarily limits treatment to only a subset of stroke patients, such is the reality of reperfusion therapy at least with IV TPA as demonstrated now by abundant human clinical trial data. Because IV TPA was approved in 1996, this critical importance of time to treatment has generated a massive change in the way stroke is managed by prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) and emergency departments (EDs).

Concealed post-partum haemorrhageaemor: A case report

A woman with five previous normal vaginal deliveries and a history of right salpingectomy for ectopic preg-nancyhas sudden pain in term labour, with epidural analgesia. A concurrent worsening of fetal heart rate pattern with bradycardia urges quick vacuum delivery. Maternal post-partum pain and hemoglobin (Hb) drop suggest intra-abdominal haemorrhage. The combination of sudden, strong intra-partum pain and fetal distress should raise the suspicion of intra-abdominal haemorrhage. After vaginal delivery an accurate follow-up is mandatory.

The evolving role of lyophilized plasma in remote damage control resuscitation in the French Armed Forces Health Service

Freeze-dried plasma was developed by the US Army for the resuscitation of combat casualties during World War II. The French Military Blood Institute began producing French lyophilized plasma (FLYP) in 1949, in accordance with French blood product guidelines. Since 2010, a photochemical pathogen inactivation process has been implemented to reduce the remaining transfusion-related infectious risk. All quality controls for this procedure verify that the hemostatic properties of FLYP are conserved. FLYP is compatible with all blood types, can be stored at room temperature for 2 years, and its reconstitution requires less than 6 minutes. As a result, FLYP allows quick delivery of all the coagulation proteins and the application of a 1:1 ratio of FLYP and red blood cells in the context of a massive transfusion. Hemovigilance data collected in France since 1994 have included FLYP. Results indicate no reporting of infection related to the use of FLYP. Clinical monitoring with a focus on hemostasis was implemented in 2002 and expanded in 2010. The data, obtained from overseas operations, confirmed the indications, the safety and the clinical efficacy of FLYP. Further research is needed to determine specific indications for FLYP in the therapeutic management of civilian patients with severe hemorrhage.

Rapid and Efficient Gene Delivery into Plant Cells Using Designed Peptide Carriers

To develop a new easy and quick gene delivery system for any types of plants, we prepared ionic complexes of plasmid DNA with designed peptide carriers, each of which combined a cell-penetrating peptide (Bp100 or Tat(2)) with a polycation (nona-arginine or a copolymer of histidine and lysine). The present system via the designed peptides demonstrated rapid and efficient transient transfections into intact leaf cells of Nicotiana benthamiana and Arabidopsis thaliana without protoplast preparations. The designed peptides demonstrated significantly higher transfection efficiency in comparison to the nonfusion peptides (Bp100, Tat2, nona-arginine, and copolymer of histidine and lysine), indicating that the combination of functional peptides was a key to develop an efficient peptide-based gene delivery system. On the basis of the results, we exhibited the versatility of the designed peptide-based gene delivery system, which will explore the application of plant biotechnology.

Autonomous Planning using the Basic Principles of Gene Transcription Regulatory Control

The vast majority of the research efforts in finite capacity scheduling over the past several years has focused on the generation of precise and almost exact measures for the working schedule presupposing complete information and a deterministic environment. During execution, however, production may be the subject of considerable variability, which may lead to frequent schedule interruptions. Adopting biological control principles refers to the process where a schedule is developed prior to the start of the processing after considering all the parameters requirements at a machine and updated accordingly as the process executes. This research reviews the best practices in gene transcription and translation control methods and adopts these principles in the development of an autonomous finite capacity scheduling control logic aimed at reducing excessive use of manual input in planning tasks. With autonomous decision-making functionality, finite capacity scheduling will as much as practicably possible be able to respond autonomously to process variability by deployment of proactive scheduling procedures that may be used to revise or re-optimize the schedule when variability process requirements is noted. The novelty of this work is the ability for processing machine to autonomous take decisions just as decisions are taken by autonomous entities in the process of gene transcription and translation. The idea has been implemented by the integration of simulation modelling techniques with Taguchi analysis to investigate the contributions of finite capacity scheduling factors, and determination of the ‘what if’ scenarios encountered due to the existence of variability in production processes. The control logic adopts the induction rules as used in gene expression control mechanisms, studied in biological systems. Scheduling factors are identified to that effect and are investigated to find their effects on selected performance metrics for each machine used. How they are used to deal with variability in process is one major objective for this research as it is because of the variability that autonomous decision making becomes of interest. Although different scheduling techniques have been applied and are successful in production planning and control, the results obtained from the inclusion of the autonomous finite capacity scheduling control logic has proved that significant improvement can still be achieved. This research demonstrated that the correct choice of values for finite capacity scheduling factors has a great impact on the performance measurements, such that, high throughput rate can be reached with a bigger batch size, lower percentage of rework, and shorter stoppages. Quicker movement of goods through the facility means better utilisation of assets. Better utilisation of assets creates additional capacity resulting from faster throughput thereby improving customer satisfaction through quicker delivery. It has also been shown that %waiting, %blocking and %stoppage makes it possible to examine different manufacturing constraints as well as the relationship between non-utilisation and different performance measurements.
