We theoretically investigate wide-angle spectrally selective absorber by utilizing dispersionless Tamm plasmon polaritons (TPPs) under TM polarization. TPPs are resonant tunneling effects occurring on the interface between one-dimensional photonic crystals (1DPCs) and metal slab, and their dispersion properties are essentially determined by that of 1DPCs. Our investigations show that dispersionless TPPs can be excited in 1DPCs containing hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) on metal substrate. Based on dispersionless TPPs, electromagnetic waves penetrate into metal substrate and are absorbed entirely by lossy metal, exhibiting a narrow-band and wide-angle perfect absorption for TM polarization. Our results exhibit nearly perfect absorption with a value over 98% in the angle of incidence region of 0–80 degree. PMID:27991565

Software development for the Trospheric Air Motion Measurement Systems (TAMMS) is documented. In July/August the TAMMS was flown on the NASA/Goddard Flight Center Electra aircraft for 19 mission for the ABLE-2A (Amazon Boundary Layer Experiment) in Brazil. In December 1985, several flights were performed to assess the contamination and boundary layer of the Electra. Position data, flow angles, pressure transducer measurements were recorded. The programs written for the ABLE-2A were modified due to timing considerations for this particular program. The 3-step programs written for EBLE (Electra Boundary Layer Experiment) are described. Power up and log-on procedures are discussed. A few editing techniques are described for modification of the programs.

In this study, we investigate localized and resonant optical waves associated with a semi-infinite superlattice made out of superconductor-dielectric bilayers and terminated with a cap layer. Both transverse electric and transverse magnetic waves are considered. These surface modes are analogous to the so-called Tamm states associated with electronic states found at the surface of materials. The surface guided modes induced by the cap layer strongly depend on whether the superlattice ends with a superconductor or a dielectric layer, the thickness of the surface layer, the temperature of the superconductor layer as well as on the polarization of the waves. Differentmore » kinds of surface modes are found and their properties examined. These structures can be used to realize the highly sensitive photonic crystal sensors.« less

Two-component hybrid time-dependent density functional theory within the Tamm-Dancoff approximation.

Kühn, Michael; Weigend, Florian

2015-01-21

We report the implementation of a two-component variant of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) for hybrid functionals that accounts for spin-orbit effects within the Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA) for closed-shell systems. The influence of the admixture of Hartree-Fock exchange on excitation energies is investigated for several atoms and diatomic molecules by comparison to numbers for pure density functionals obtained previously [M. Kühn and F. Weigend, J. Chem. Theory Comput. 9, 5341 (2013)]. It is further related to changes upon switching to the local density approximation or using the full TDDFT formalism instead of TDA. Efficiency is demonstrated for a comparably large system, Ir(ppy)3 (61 atoms, 1501 basis functions, lowest 10 excited states), which is a prototype molecule for organic light-emitting diodes, due to its "spin-forbidden" triplet-singlet transition.

Photoionization cross sections and photoelectron angular distribution asymmetry parameters are calculated for the 4 d10, 5 s2, 5 p6 , and 6 s2 subshells of atomic barium as a test of the relativistic multiconfiguration Tamm-Dancoff (RMCTD) method. The shape resonance present in the near-threshold region of the 4 d subshell is studied in detail in the 4 d photoionization along with the 5 s , 5 p , and 6 s subshells in the region of the 4 d thresholds, as the 4 d shape resonance strongly influences these subshells in its vicinity. The results are compared with available experiment and other many-body theoretical results in an effort to assess the capabilities of the RMCTD methodology. The electron correlations addressed in the RMCTD method give relatively good agreement with the experimental data, indicating that the important many-body correlations are included correctly.

2017-09-01

We present a comprehensive investigation to ascertain the impact of gold and silver films on modifying the quality-factor (Q-factor) of optical Tamm-plasmon (OTP) resonance in a metal-distributed Bragg reflector (M-DBR) geometry. Here, OTP mode is excited using direct incidence of white-light-source at normal incidence as well as oblique incidence on M-DBR geometry. The lifetime of OTP in gold and silver deposited films on DBR mirror was determined from OTP resonance linewidth. The lifetime and the Q-factor of OTP modes are found to depend on DBR bilayers, metal film thickness as well as on different plasmon active metals. This finding would facilitate tuning the Q-factor and consequently, the lifetime of OTP modes for various applications in all-optical switches and modulators. In addition, we discuss the spectral characteristics of OTP modes excited using normal and oblique incident of source.

Urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) are released by cells throughout the nephron and contain biomolecules from their cells of origin. Although uEV-associated proteins and RNA have been studied in detail, little information exists regarding uEV glycosylation characteristics. Surface glycosylation profiling by flow cytometry and lectin microarray was applied to uEVs enriched from urine of healthy adults by ultracentrifugation and centrifugal filtration. The carbohydrate specificity of lectin microarray profiles was confirmed by competitive sugar inhibition and carbohydrate-specific enzyme hydrolysis. Glycosylation profiles of uEVs and purified Tamm Horsfall protein were compared. In both flow cytometry and lectin microarray assays, uEVs demonstrated surface binding, at low to moderate intensities, of a broad range of lectins whether prepared by ultracentrifugation or centrifugal filtration. In general, ultracentrifugation-prepared uEVs demonstrated higher lectin binding intensities than centrifugal filtration-prepared uEVs consistent with lesser amounts of co-purified non-vesicular proteins. The surface glycosylation profiles of uEVs showed little inter-individual variation and were distinct from those of Tamm Horsfall protein, which bound a limited number of lectins. In a pilot study, lectin microarray was used to compare uEVs from individuals with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease to those of age-matched controls. The lectin microarray profiles of polycystic kidney disease and healthy uEVs showed differences in binding intensity of 6/43 lectins. Our results reveal a complex surface glycosylation profile of uEVs that is accessible to lectin-based analysis following multiple uEV enrichment techniques, is distinct from co-purified Tamm Horsfall protein and may demonstrate disease-specific modifications.

Spectrally-tailored interactions of light with material interfaces offer many exciting applications in sensing, photo-detection, and optical energy conversion. In particular, complete suppression of light reflectance at select frequencies accompanied by sharp phase variations in the reflected signal forms the basis for the development of ultra-sensitive singular-phase optical detection schemes such as Brewster and surface plasmon interferometry. However, both the Brewster effect and surface-plasmon-mediated absorption on planar interfaces are limited to one polarization of the incident light and oblique excitation angles, and may have limited bandwidth dictated by the material dielectric index and plasma frequency. To alleviate these limitations, we design narrow-band super-absorbers composed of plasmonic materials embedded into dielectric photonic nanostructures with topologically-protected interfacial Tamm plasmon states. These structures have planar geometry and do not require nanopatterning to achieve perfect absorption of both polarizations of the incident light in a wide range of incident angles, including the normal incidence. Their absorption lines are tunable across a very broad spectral range via engineering of the photon bandstructure of the dielectric photonic nanostructures to achieve reversal of the geometrical phase across the interface with the plasmonic absorber. We outline the design strategy to achieve perfect absorptance in Tamm structures with dissipative losses via conjugate impedance matching. We further demonstrate via modeling how these structures can be engineered to support sharp asymmetric amplitude resonances, which can be used to improve the sensitivity of optical sensors in the amplitude-only detection scheme that does not require use of bulky and expensive ellipsometry equipment.

Memories of David Kirzhnits

In the mid-1950s, a new staff member appeared at the Theory Division of the Physical Institute of the Academy of Sciences (FIAN): David Abramovich Kirzhnits. A Moscow State University alumnus, after graduation he had been assigned to a large defense plant in the city of Gorky, where he had worked for several years as an engineer. He was "liberated" from there by Igor Evgenyevich Tamm, our department head, who managed to transfer him to FIAN. Igor Evgenyevich knew D. A. Kirzhnits - they had met in Moscow before Kirzhnits finished university. At that time Kirzhnits was performing thesis work with professor A. S. Kompaneyets as academic adviser. At his adviser's suggestion, D. Kirzhnits consulted with I. E. Tamm on questions pertaining to the thesis topic. I. E. Tamm took a great liking for the diploma student, and he even wanted to recruit D. A. Kirzhnits for the Theory Division immediately after graduation. But at that time (1949) this proved impossible for several reasons. First, D. Kirzhnits was, as they say, an "invalid of the fifth group" - a Jew - which during those years of violent struggle against cosmopolitanismb often proved an obstacle in looking for work. Second, during the years of mass repressions D. Kirzhnits' father had been arrested on treason charges (according to the charges, he had wanted to sell the Far East to Japan). After intensive investigation his father was released, but he lived only a little longer. Reports of this also could have impeded his acceptance. Third, Igor Evgenyevich didn't have enough weight in officials' eyes at that time and so was unable to overcome "first" and "second."...

A turbulent air motion measurement system (TAMMS) was integrated onboard the Lockheed 188 Electra airplane (designated NASA 429) based at the Wallops Flight Facility in support of the NASA role in global tropospheric research. The system provides air motion and turbulence measurements from an airborne platform which is capable of sampling tropospheric and planetary boundary-layer conditions. TAMMS consists of a gust probe with free-rotating vanes mounted on a 3.7-m epoxy-graphite composite nose boom, a high-resolution inertial navigation system (INS), and data acquisition system. A variation of the tower flyby method augmented with radar tracking was implemented for the calibration of static pressure position error and air temperature probe. Additional flight calibration maneuvers were performed remote from the tower in homogeneous atmospheric conditions. System hardware and instrumentation are described and the calibration procedures discussed. Calibration and flight results are presented to illustrate the overall ability of the system to determine the three-component ambient wind fields during straight and level flight conditions.

Temperature-mediated transition from Dyakonov-Tamm surface waves to surface-plasmon-polariton waves

The effect of changing the temperature on the propagation of electromagnetic surface waves (ESWs), guided by the planar interface of a homogeneous isotropic temperature-sensitive material (namely, InSb) and a temperature-insensitive structurally chiral material (SCM) was numerically investigated in the terahertz frequency regime. As the temperature rises, InSb transforms from a dissipative dielectric material to a dissipative plasmonic material. Correspondingly, the ESWs transmute from Dyakonov-Tamm surface waves into surface-plasmon-polariton waves. The effects of the temperature change are clearly observed in the phase speeds, propagation distances, angular existence domains, multiplicity, and spatial profiles of energy flow of the ESWs. Remarkably large propagation distances can be achieved; in such instances the energy of an ESW is confined almost entirely within the SCM. For certain propagation directions, simultaneous excitation of two ESWs with (i) the same phase speeds but different propagation distances or (ii) the same propagation distances but different phase speeds are also indicated by our results.

Solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics is a rapidly advancing field, which explores the frontiers of light–matter coupling. Metal-based approaches are of particular interest in this field, as they carry the potential to squeeze optical modes to spaces significantly below the diffraction limit. Transition metal dichalcogenides are ideally suited as the active material in cavity quantum electrodynamics, as they interact strongly with light at the ultimate monolayer limit. Here, we implement a Tamm-plasmon-polariton structure and study the coupling to a monolayer of WSe2, hosting highly stable excitons. Exciton-polariton formation at room temperature is manifested in the characteristic energy–momentum dispersion relation studied in photoluminescence, featuring an anti-crossing between the exciton and photon modes with a Rabi-splitting of 23.5 meV. Creating polaritonic quasiparticles in monolithic, compact architectures with atomic monolayers under ambient conditions is a crucial step towards the exploration of nonlinearities, macroscopic coherence and advanced spinor physics with novel, low-mass bosons.

Tamm plasmon-polaritons (TPPs), formed at the interface of a plasmon-active metal and a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), are characterized by sharp resonances in the reflection spectrum. The features of these sharp TPP resonances are primarily dictated by the structural parameters as well as by the nature of materials of the constituent DBR and metal. In the present investigation, we experimentally and theoretically analyze the role played by the DBR parameters and the metal layer thickness in determining the efficiency of TPP-mode excitation using plane waves. The findings reveal that the minimum in the reflection spectrum depicting the TPP resonance is strongly influenced by the thickness of plasmon-active metal film as well as the number of DBR unit cells. In fact, there exists an optimum combination of the geometrical parameters for achieving a maximum coupling to TPP modes. A brief theoretical analysis elucidating the underlying mechanism behind such observations is also presented so as to optimally design TPP-based architectures for different applications.

γ-ray transitions from excited states of {}16{{N}} and {}16{{O}} isomers that appear in the γ spectrum of the {}616{{{C}}}10\\to {}716{{{N}}}9\\to {}816{{{O}}}8 beta decay chain are investigated. The theoretical approach used in this research starts with a mean-field potential consisting of a phenomenological Woods-Saxon potential including spin-orbit and Coulomb terms (for protons) in order to obtain single-particle energies and wave functions for nucleons in a nucleus. A schematic residual surface delta interaction is then employed on the top of the mean field and is treated within the proton-neutron Tamm-Dancoff approximation (pnTDA) and the proton-neutron random phase approximation. The goal is to use an optimized surface delta interaction interaction, as a residual interaction, to improve the results. We have used artificial intelligence algorithms to establish a good agreement between theoretical and experimental energy spectra. The final results of the ‘optimized’ calculations are reasonable via this approach.

Semiempirical UNO-CAS and UNO-CI: method and applications in nanoelectronics.

Dral, Pavlo O; Clark, Timothy

2011-10-20

Unrestricted Natural Orbital-Complete Active Space Configuration Interaction, abbreviated as UNO-CAS, has been implemented for NDDO-based semiempirical molecular-orbital (MO) theory. A computationally more economic technique, UNO-CIS, in which we use a configuration interaction (CI) calculation with only single excitations (CIS) to calculate excited states, has also been implemented and tested. The class of techniques in which unrestricted natural orbitals (UNOs) are used as the reference for CI calculations is denoted UNO-CI. Semiempirical UNO-CI gives good results for the optical band gaps of organic semiconductors such as polyynes and polyacenes, which are promising materials for nanoelectronics. The results of these semiempirical UNO-CI techniques are generally in better agreement with experiment than those obtained with the corresponding conventional semiempirical CI methods and comparable to or better than those obtained with far more computationally expensive methods such as time-dependent density-functional theory. We also show that symmetry breaking in semiempirical UHF calculations is very useful for predicting the diradical character of organic compounds in the singlet spin state.

There are sex differences in mortality while awaiting heart transplantation, and the reason remains unclear. We included all adults in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients placed on the heart transplant active waitlist from 2004 to 2015. The primary end point was all-cause mortality. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were performed to evaluate survival by United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) status at the time of listing. Random survival forest was used to identify sex interactions for the competing risk of death and transplantation. There were 33 069 patients (25% women) awaiting heart transplantation. This cohort included 7681 UNOS status 1A (26% women), 13 027 UNOS status 1B (25% women), and 12 361 UNOS status 2 (26% women). During a median follow-up of 4.3 months, 1351 women and 4052 men died. After adjusting for >20 risk factors, female sex was associated with a significant risk of death among UNOS status 1A (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.29) and UNOS status 1B (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.17; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-1.30). In contrast, female sex was significantly protective for time to death among UNOS status 2 (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.76-0.95). Sex differences in probability of transplantation were present for every UNOS status, and >20 sex interactions were identified for mortality and transplantation. When stratified by initial UNOS status, women had a higher mortality than men as UNOS status 1 and a lower mortality as UNOS status 2. With >20 sex interactions for mortality and transplantation, further evaluation is warranted to form a more equitable allocation system. © 2017 American Heart Association, Inc.

Tamm-plasmon and surface-plasmon hybrid-mode based refractometry in photonic bandgap structures.

The transverse magnetic (TM) polarized hybrid modes formed as a consequence of coupling between Tamm plasmon polariton (TM-TPP) mode and surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode exhibit interesting dispersive features for realizing a highly sensitive and accurate surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor. We found that the TM-TPP modes, formed at the interface of distributed Bragg reflector and metal, are strongly dispersive as compared to SPP modes at optical frequencies. This causes an appreciably narrow interaction bandwidth between TM-TPP and SPP modes, which leads to highly accurate sensing. In addition, appropriate tailoring of dispersion characteristics of TM-TPP as well as SPP modes could ensure high sensitivity of a novel SPR platform. By suitably designing the Au/TiO₂/SiO₂-based geometry, we propose a TM-TPP/SPP hybrid-mode sensor and achieve a sensitivity ≥900  nm/RIU with high detection accuracy (≥30  μm⁻¹) for analyte refractive indices varying between 1.330 and 1.345 in 600-700 nm wavelength range. The possibility to achieve desired dispersive behavior in any spectral band makes the sensing configuration an extremely attractive candidate to design sensors depending on the availability of optical sources.

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a major problem in human medicine for which better understanding of native immune defenses may reveal new pathways for therapeutic intervention. Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (THP), the most abundant urinary protein, interacts with bacteria including uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) as well host immune cells. In addition to its well-studied functions to antagonize bacterial colonization, we hypothesize that THP serves a critical host defense function through innate immune modulation. Using isolated human neutrophils, we found that THP binds neutrophils and that this interaction reduces reactive oxygen species generation, chemotaxis, and killing of UPEC. We discovered that THP engages the inhibitory neutrophil receptor sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin-9 (Siglec-9), and mouse functional ortholog Siglec-E, in a manner dependent on sialic acid on its N-glycan moieties. THP-null mice have significantly more neutrophils present in the urine compared to WT mice, both with and without the presence of inflammatory stimuli. These data support THP as an important negative regulator of neutrophil activation in the urinary tract, with dual functions to counteract bacterial colonization and suppress excessive inflammation within the urinary tract.

Distributional and regularized radiation fields of non-uniformly moving straight dislocations, and elastodynamic Tamm problem

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Lazar, Markus; Pellegrini, Yves-Patrick

2016-11-01

This work introduces original explicit solutions for the elastic fields radiated by non-uniformly moving, straight, screw or edge dislocations in an isotropic medium, in the form of time-integral representations in which acceleration-dependent contributions are explicitly separated out. These solutions are obtained by applying an isotropic regularization procedure to distributional expressions of the elastodynamic fields built on the Green tensor of the Navier equation. The obtained regularized field expressions are singularity-free, and depend on the dislocation density rather than on the plastic eigenstrain. They cover non-uniform motion at arbitrary speeds, including faster-than-wave ones. A numerical method of computation is discussed, that rests on discretizing motion along an arbitrary path in the plane transverse to the dislocation, into a succession of time intervals of constant velocity vector over which time-integrated contributions can be obtained in closed form. As a simple illustration, it is applied to the elastodynamic equivalent of the Tamm problem, where fields induced by a dislocation accelerated from rest beyond the longitudinal wave speed, and thereafter put to rest again, are computed. As expected, the proposed expressions produce Mach cones, the dynamic build-up and decay of which is illustrated by means of full-field calculations.

V L Ginzburg and the Atomic Project

This paper is an expanded version of the author's talk presented at a session of the Physical Sciences Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences celebrating the 100th anniversary of V L Ginzburg's birth. Tamm's Special group was organized in June 1948 with the task to clarify the feasibility of constructing a hydrogen bomb. Having verified and confirmed the calculated results by Ya B Zel'dovich's group, the Tamm group proposed an original hydrogen bomb design, which, following A D Sakharov's idea, consisted of an atomic bomb surrounded spherically by nested uranium and heavy water layers: the heavy water, on V L Ginzburg's suggestion, was replaced by higher-calorie solid lithium-6 deuteride. The ionization implosion of deuterium by uranium, both heated by the atomic bomb's explosion, greatly accelerates nuclear reactions in deuterium and uranium and increases the total energy release. Upon their approval by the KB-11 top researchers, the Atomic project leadership, and the government, the proposals were implemented in the RDS-6s bomb, which was successfully tested on 12 August 1953. Lithium-6 deuteride turned out to be a convenient multipurpose nuclear fuel. The paper highlights the recognition by the leaders of the country and of the Atomic project that fundamental science plays a crucial role in promoting scientists' ideas and proposals.

Hoping to raise funds in 1975 for his namesake institute, Linus Pauling submitted to Esquire magazine a 32-page handwritten manuscript, "American Scientists and the Spirit of the Frontier." Angered when his submission for publication was declined, Pauling eventually gifted the original manuscript in 1986 to his friend, Linus Pauling Institute fundraiser Stephen Maddox, who would sell it in 2004 to the Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology. Published accurately here for the first time, the manuscript captures not only Pauling's sweeping metaphor of scientists as frontiersmen but also the creative process by which Pauling formulated his hydrate microcrystal theory of general anesthesia.

The development of electronics technology especially in the field of microcontroller occurs very rapidly. There have been many applications and useful use of microcontroller in everyday life as well as in laboratory research. In this study used Arduino Uno R3 as microcontroller-based platform ATMega328 as a sensor distance meter to know the distance of an object with high accuracy. The method used is to utilize the function Timer / Counter in Arduino UNO R3. On the Arduino Uno R3 platform, there is ATMEL ATmega328 microcontroller which has a frequency generating speed up to 20 MHz, 16-bit enumeration capability and using C language as its programming. With the Arduino Uno R3 platform, the ATmega328 microcontroller can be programmed with Arduino IDE software that is simpler and easier because it has been supported by libraries and many support programs. The result of this research is distance measurement to know the location of an object using US ultrasonic wave sensor US 100 with Arduino Uno R3 based on ATMega328 microcontroller which then the result will be displayed using Image Processing.

Ultra-fast computation of electronic spectra for large systems by tight-binding based simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation (sTDA-xTB)

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Grimme, Stefan, E-mail: grimme@thch.uni-bonn.de; Bannwarth, Christoph

2016-08-07

The computational bottleneck of the extremely fast simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximated (sTDA) time-dependent density functional theory procedure [S. Grimme, J. Chem. Phys. 138, 244104 (2013)] for the computation of electronic spectra for large systems is the determination of the ground state Kohn-Sham orbitals and eigenvalues. This limits such treatments to single structures with a few hundred atoms and hence, e.g., sampling along molecular dynamics trajectories for flexible systems or the calculation of chromophore aggregates is often not possible. The aim of this work is to solve this problem by a specifically designed semi-empirical tight binding (TB) procedure similar to the wellmore » established self-consistent-charge density functional TB scheme. The new special purpose method provides orbitals and orbital energies of hybrid density functional character for a subsequent and basically unmodified sTDA procedure. Compared to many previous semi-empirical excited state methods, an advantage of the ansatz is that a general eigenvalue problem in a non-orthogonal, extended atomic orbital basis is solved and therefore correct occupied/virtual orbital energy splittings as well as Rydberg levels are obtained. A key idea for the success of the new model is that the determination of atomic charges (describing an effective electron-electron interaction) and the one-particle spectrum is decoupled and treated by two differently parametrized Hamiltonians/basis sets. The three-diagonalization-step composite procedure can routinely compute broad range electronic spectra (0-8 eV) within minutes of computation time for systems composed of 500-1000 atoms with an accuracy typical of standard time-dependent density functional theory (0.3-0.5 eV average error). An easily extendable parametrization based on coupled-cluster and density functional computed reference data for the elements H–Zn including transition metals is described. The accuracy of the method termed sTDA-xTB is first benchmarked for vertical excitation energies of open- and closed-shell systems in comparison to other semi-empirical methods and applied to exemplary problems in electronic spectroscopy. As side products of the development, a robust and efficient valence electron TB method for the accurate determination of atomic charges as well as a more accurate calculation scheme of dipole rotatory strengths within the Tamm-Dancoff approximation is proposed.« less

The hexadecapole transition strength distribution is measured for the deformed nucleus 150Nd using the (p,p') reaction at Ep=30 MeV. The experimental information on B(E4) values in this nucleus and in 156Gd is interpreted in the framework of the sdg interacting boson model. It is found that the main features of the experimental data are fairly well reproduced by a Hartree-Bose method plus Tamm-Dancoff approximation.

To explore the concentration changes of Tamm-Horsefall protein (THP) under centrifugation in rat urine and discuss its association with urolithiasis formation. A total of 40 Wistar rats were divided randomly into 4 groups of flying with stone (A), flying without stone (B), stone without flying (C) and control (D). After centrifugation, the THP concentrations of each group were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Then urinary system was dissected, stained with hematoxylin & eosin and observed under electron microscopy to examine the distribution and number of each section. The SPSS 13.0 software was used for data analyses. Group A showed significant difference in THP concentrations with groups C and D ( (11 ± 4) vs (15 ± 6), (17 ± 4) ng/ml, P = 0.037 and 0.005).No statistically significant difference existed between groups A and B ((11 ± 5) ng/ml, P = 0.998) or groups C and D (P = 0.422). Group B had significant difference in THP concentrations with groups D (P = 0.036). Regarding the number of stones in ureter, Group A had statistically significant difference with B (P = 0.029).However, there was no difference in the number of bladder stones.In kidney stones, there was significant difference (P = 0.029) on "+ +" rating. Centrifugation may reduce the urinary concentration of THP so as cause urolithiasis formation in rats.

The effect of basis set and exchange-correlation functional on time-dependent density functional theory calculations within the Tamm-Dancoff approximation of the x-ray emission spectroscopy of transition metal complexes.

PubMed

Roper, Ian P E; Besley, Nicholas A

2016-03-21

The simulation of X-ray emission spectra of transition metal complexes with time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is investigated. X-ray emission spectra can be computed within TDDFT in conjunction with the Tamm-Dancoff approximation by using a reference determinant with a vacancy in the relevant core orbital, and these calculations can be performed using the frozen orbital approximation or with the relaxation of the orbitals of the intermediate core-ionised state included. Both standard exchange-correlation functionals and functionals specifically designed for X-ray emission spectroscopy are studied, and it is shown that the computed spectral band profiles are sensitive to the exchange-correlation functional used. The computed intensities of the spectral bands can be rationalised by considering the metal p orbital character of the valence molecular orbitals. To compute X-ray emission spectra with the correct energy scale allowing a direct comparison with experiment requires the relaxation of the core-ionised state to be included and the use of specifically designed functionals with increased amounts of Hartree-Fock exchange in conjunction with high quality basis sets. A range-corrected functional with increased Hartree-Fock exchange in the short range provides transition energies close to experiment and spectral band profiles that have a similar accuracy to those from standard functionals.

Mutant tamm-horsfall glycoprotein accumulation in endoplasmic reticulum induces apoptosis reversed by colchicine and sodium 4-phenylbutyrate.

As a consequence of uromodulin gene mutations, individuals develop precocious hyperuricemia, gout, and progressive renal failure. In vitro studies suggest that pathologic accumulation of uromodulin/Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (THP) occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but the pathophysiology of renal damage is unclear. It was hypothesized that programmed cell death triggered by accumulation of misfolded THP in the ER causes progressive renal disease. Stably transfected human embryonic kidney 293 cells and immortalized thick ascending limb of Henle's loop cells with wild-type and mutated uromodulin cDNA were evaluated to test this hypothesis. Immunocytochemistry, ELISA, and deglycosylation studies indicated that accumulation of mutant THP occurred in the ER. FACS analyses showed a significant increase in early apoptosis signal in human embryonic kidney 293 and thick ascending limb of Henle's loop cells that were transfected with mutant uromodulin constructs. Colchicine and sodium 4-phenylbutyrate treatment increased secretion of THP from the ER to the cell membrane and into the culture media and significantly improved cell viability. These findings indicate that intracellular accumulation of THP facilitates apoptosis and that this may provide the pathologic mechanism responsible for the progressive renal damage associated with uromodulin gene mutations. Colchicine and sodium 4-phenylbutyrate reverse these processes and could potentially be beneficial in ameliorating the progressive renal damage in uromodulin-associated kidney diseases.

Calcium oxalate monohydrate aggregation induced by aggregation of desialylated Tamm-Horsfall protein

2011-01-01

Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) is thought to protect against calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) stone formation by inhibiting COM aggregation. Several studies reported that stone formers produce THP with reduced levels of glycosylation, particularly sialic acid levels, which leads to reduced negative charge. In this study, normal THP was treated with neuraminidase to remove sialic acid residues, confirmed by an isoelectric point shift to higher pH. COM aggregation assays revealed that desialylated THP (ds-THP) promoted COM aggregation, while normal THP inhibited aggregation. The appearance of protein aggregates in solutions at ds-THP concentrations ≥1 µg/mL in 150 mM NaCl correlated with COM aggregation promotion, implying that ds-THP aggregation induced COM aggregation. The aggregation-promoting effect of the ds-THP was independent of pH above its isoelectric point, but was substantially reduced at low ionic strength, where protein aggregation was much reduced. COM aggregation promotion was maximized at a ds-THP to COM mass ratio of ~0.025, which can be explained by a model wherein partial COM surface coverage by ds-THP aggregates promotes crystal aggregation by bridging opposing COM surfaces, whereas higher surface coverage leads to repulsion between adsorbed ds-THP aggregates. Thus, desialylation of THP apparently abrogates a normal defensive action of THP by inducing protein aggregation, and subsequently COM aggregation, a condition that favors kidney stone formation.

Tamm-Horsfall Protein Regulates Granulopoiesis and Systemic Neutrophil Homeostasis

Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) is a glycoprotein uniquely expressed in the kidney. We recently showed an important role for THP in mediating tubular cross-talk in the outer medulla and in suppressing neutrophil infiltration after kidney injury. However, it remains unclear whether THP has a broader role in neutrophil homeostasis. In this study, we show that THP deficiency in mice increases the number of neutrophils, not only in the kidney but also in the circulation and in the liver, through enhanced granulopoiesis in the bone marrow. Using multiplex ELISA, we identified IL-17 as a key granulopoietic cytokine specifically upregulated in the kidneys but not in the liver of THP−/− mice. Indeed, neutralization of IL-17 in THP−/− mice completely reversed the systemic neutrophilia. Furthermore, IL-23 was also elevated in THP−/− kidneys. We performed real-time PCR on laser microdissected tubular segments and FACS-sorted renal immune cells and identified the S3 proximal segments, but not renal macrophages, as a major source of increased IL-23 synthesis. In conclusion, we show that THP deficiency stimulates proximal epithelial activation of the IL-23/IL-17 axis and systemic neutrophilia. Our findings provide evidence that the kidney epithelium in the outer medulla can regulate granulopoiesis. When this novel function is added to its known role in erythropoiesis, the kidney emerges as an important regulator of the hematopoietic system. PMID:25556169

Point mutation in D8C domain of Tamm-Horsfall protein/uromodulin in transgenic mice causes progressive renal damage and hyperuricemia

2017-01-01

Hereditary mutations in Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP/uromodulin) gene cause autosomal dominant kidney diseases characterized by juvenile-onset hyperuricemia, gout and progressive kidney failure, although the disease pathogenesis remains unclear. Here we show that targeted expression in transgenic mice of a mutation within the domain of 8 cysteines of THP in kidneys’ thick ascending limb (TAL) caused unfolded protein response in younger (1-month old) mice and apoptosis in older (12-month old) mice. While the young mice had urine concentration defects and polyuria, such defects progressively reversed in the older mice to marked oliguria, highly concentrated urine, fibrotic kidneys and reduced creatinine clearance. Both the young and the old transgenic mice had significantly higher serum uric acid and its catabolic product, allantoin, than age-matched wild-type mice. This THP mutation apparently caused primary defects in TAL by compromising the luminal translocation and reabsorptive functions of NKCC2 and ROMK and secondary responses in proximal tubules by upregulating NHE3 and URAT1. Our results strongly suggest that the progressive worsening of kidney functions reflects the accumulation of the deleterious effects of the misfolded mutant THP and the compensatory responses. Transgenic mice recapitulating human THP/uromodulin-associated kidney diseases could be used to elucidate their pathogenesis and test novel therapeutic strategies. PMID:29145399

The most exact description of the management of nasal fractures given by any physician of ancient times belongs to Paul of Aegina (AD 625-690). The goal of this article is to describe the therapeutic methods and surgical techniques used by Paul of Aegina in the treatment of nasal injuries. We studied the original Greek texts and the translation published in Venice, titled "The seven books of excellent doctor Paul of Aegina." The sixth book of his medical compendium is devoted to surgery. We identified the treatments and techniques applied to the restoration of injured noses. In this historical article we present the management of nasal fractures by Paul of Aegina. Paul of Aegina's conservative and surgical management for each form of injury was adopted by later physicians and influenced European medicine, a management surprisingly identical with the way nasal fractures are managed nowadays.

Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD) are increasingly used as a bridge to transplant (BTT) for patients with advanced congestive heart failure (CHF) and are assigned United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) high priority status (1B or 1A). The purpose of our study was asses the effect of organ allocation in the era of continuous flow pumps. A retrospective chart review was performed of all patients transplanted between 1/2001-1/2011 at Columbia University Medical Center. Seven hundred twenty six adult heart transplantations were performed. Two hundred seventy four BTT patients were implanted with LVAD; of which 227 patients were transplanted. Sixty three patients were transplanted as UNOS-1B, while 164 were transplanted as UNOS-1A (72%). Of these 164 patients, 65 were transplanted during their 30-day 1A period (43%) and 96 after upgrading to UNOS-1A for device complication (56%). For 452 non-device patients 139 (31%) were transplanted as UNOS-1A, 233 as UNOS-1B (52%), and 80 as UNOS-2 (17%). The percentage of patients bridged with LVAD increased from 19% in 2001 to 64% in 2010 while the number transplanted during their 30 day 1A grace period declined from 57% in 2005 to 16% in 2011; i.e. 84% of BTT patients in 2011 needed more than 30 days 1A time to be transplanted. Most LVAD patients are now transplanted while suffering device complication. There was no difference in post transplant survival between LVAD patients transplanted as UNOS 1B, 1A grace period or for a device complication As wait time for cardiac transplantation increased the percentage of patients being bridged to transplant with an LVAD has increased with the majority of them transplanted in the setting of device complication.

In this paper, we propose a full characterization of a generalized q-deformed Tamm-Dancoff oscillator algebra and investigate its main mathematical and physical properties. Specifically, we study its various representations and find the condition satisfied by the deformed q-number to define the algebra structure function. Particular Fock spaces involving finite and infinite dimensions are examined. A deformed calculus is performed as well as a coordinate realization for this algebra. A relevant example is exhibited. Associated coherent states are constructed. Finally, some thermodynamics aspects are computed and discussed.

[Fatal diseases and "imaginary" suffering. "Hypochondria" and "consumption" in the correspondence between Jean Paul and Johann Bernhard Hermann, with a perspective on Jean Paul's literature and aesthetics].

PubMed

Meier, Monika

2007-01-01

The German writerJean Paul (Johann Paul Friedrich Richter, 1763-1825) and his friendJohann Bernhard Hermann (1761-1790) became acquainted with the thoughts of late Enlightenment at the University of Leipzig. They particularly appreciated the anthropology of Ernst Platner, who taught philosophy and aesthetics as well as medicine. Their confidential correspondence contains reflections on their respective situation and well being. Both write about feeling ill and label their illness "hypochondria". In the course of the correspondence Jean Paul's understanding of hypochondria evolves from an illness of the entrails as he follows Hermann, who supports the modern concept of hypochondria as an illness of the nerves. Two important themes from this correspondence recur in Jean Paul's novels and tales: firstly, his way of expressing comfort is related to his aesthetics, and secondly, the satirical way of portraying at least certain aspects of illness as imaginary reappears in his first successful novel "The Invisible Lodge" (1793).

Objective Describe cross-cultural differences in nutrition-related factors among adolescents from São Paulo, Brazil and St. Paul/Minneapolis, U.S. Design Two large- population-based studies with cross-cultural comparisons Setting 12 São Paulo and 10 St. Paul/Minneapolis high schools in 2009-2010 Participants 1148 adolescents from São Paulo; 1632 adolescents from St. Paul/Minneapolis Main outcome measure(s) Meal consumption, family meals, fast food consumption and home food availability Analysis Binomial regressions, weighted for age distributions and adjusted for gender, were used to compare identical measures from each sample. Results Generally, São Paulo adolescents reported healthier nutritional outcomes than St. Paul/Minneapolis adolescents. São Paulo adolescents were seven times less likely to report high fast food consumption than St. Paul/Minneapolis adolescents (p<0.001). While most measures of the home environment indicated healthier home environments in São Paulo, more São Paulo adolescents reported that sugar-sweetened beverages was usually available at home than St. Paul/Minneapolis adolescents (p<0.001). Conclusions and implications São Paulo youth tended to have healthier eating behaviors and home food environment factors than St. Paul/Minneapolis youth. Brazilian eating patterns tend to be healthier and support a connection with food and culture. Interventions are needed to encourage youth and their families to maintain these patterns.

Tamm-Horsfall Protein Regulates Circulating and Renal Cytokines by Affecting Glomerular Filtration Rate and Acting as a Urinary Cytokine Trap*

PubMed Central

Liu, Yan; El-Achkar, Tarek M.; Wu, Xue-Ru

2012-01-01

Although few organ systems play a more important role than the kidneys in cytokine catabolism, the mechanism(s) regulating this pivotal physiological function and how its deficiency affects systemic cytokine homeostasis remain unclear. Here we show that elimination of Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) expression from mouse kidneys caused a marked elevation of circulating IFN-γ, IL1α, TNF-α, IL6, CXCL1, and IL13. Accompanying this were enlarged spleens with prominent white-pulp macrophage infiltration. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exacerbated the increase of serum cytokines without a corresponding increase in their urinary excretion in THP knock-out (KO) mice. This, along with the rise of serum cystatin C and the reduced inulin and creatinine clearance from the circulation, suggested that diminished glomerular filtration may contribute to reduced cytokine clearance in THP KO mice both at the baseline and under stress. Unlike wild-type mice where renal and urinary cytokines formed specific in vivo complexes with THP, this “trapping” effect was absent in THP KO mice, thus explaining why cytokine signaling pathways were activated in renal epithelial cells in such mice. Our study provides new evidence implicating an important role of THP in influencing cytokine clearance and acting as a decoy receptor for urinary cytokines. Based on these and other data, we present a unifying model that underscores the role of THP as a major regulator of renal and systemic immunity. PMID:22451664

Homeopathic potencies of Arnica montana L. change gene expression in a Tamm-Horsfall protein-1 cell line in vitro model: the role of ethanol as a possible confounder and statistical bias.

PubMed

Chirumbolo, Salvatore; Bjørklund, Geir

2017-07-01

Marzotto et al. showed that homeopathic preparations of Arnica montana L. acted directly on gene expression of Tamm-Horsfall protein-1 (THP-1) monocyte/macrophage cell lines activated with phorbol12-myristate13-acetate and interleukin-4 (IL-4). A. montana homeopathic dilutions are used in complementary and alternative medicine to treat inflammation disorders and post-traumatic events as well as for wound repair. The French Pharmacopoeia of these remedies uses 0.3% ethanol in each centesimal dilution. In this paper, we discuss how ethanol-containing A. montana homeopathic centesimal dilutions can change gene expression in IL-4-treated monocyte/macrophage THP-1. We assessed the role of ethanol in the Arnica homeopathic dilutions containing this alcohol by investigating its action on gene expression of THP-1 cell. Evidence would strongly suggest that the presence of ethanol in these remedies might play a fundamental role in the dilutions ability to affect gene expression, particularly for doses from 5c to 15c. Where, rather than playing a major role in the mesoscopic structure of water, the ethanol might have a chemical-physical role in the induction of THP-1 gene expression, apoptosis, and deoxyribonucleic acid function. This evidence generates a debate about the suggestion that the use of a binary-mixed solvent in homeopathic chemistry, used by Hahnemann since 1810, may be fundamental to explain the activity of homeopathy on cell models.

The great man from Tarsus: Freud on the apostle Paul.

Westerink, Herman

2007-01-01

The author describes developments in Freud's writings concerning his views on the apostle Paul. This development shows that Freud more and more clearly regarded Paul as a key figure in understanding the complex relationship between Judaism and Christianity--and also as a man who essentially has no comfortable place in either of these religions. For Freud, Paul was a unique figure, an analyst of the human character and of his own culture and religion--a Jew who tried to free himself and his people from the burden of the sense of guilt.

Multistep estimators of the between-study variance: The relationship with the Paule-Mandel estimator.

PubMed

van Aert, Robbie C M; Jackson, Dan

2018-04-26

A wide variety of estimators of the between-study variance are available in random-effects meta-analysis. Many, but not all, of these estimators are based on the method of moments. The DerSimonian-Laird estimator is widely used in applications, but the Paule-Mandel estimator is an alternative that is now recommended. Recently, DerSimonian and Kacker have developed two-step moment-based estimators of the between-study variance. We extend these two-step estimators so that multiple (more than two) steps are used. We establish the surprising result that the multistep estimator tends towards the Paule-Mandel estimator as the number of steps becomes large. Hence, the iterative scheme underlying our new multistep estimator provides a hitherto unknown relationship between two-step estimators and Paule-Mandel estimator. Our analysis suggests that two-step estimators are not necessarily distinct estimators in their own right; instead, they are quantities that are closely related to the usual iterative scheme that is used to calculate the Paule-Mandel estimate. The relationship that we establish between the multistep and Paule-Mandel estimator is another justification for the use of the latter estimator. Two-step and multistep estimators are perhaps best conceptualized as approximate Paule-Mandel estimators. © 2018 The Authors. Statistics in Medicine published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Paul's gospel and the rhetoric of apostolic rejection: A study of Galatians 1:15--17, 1 Corinthians 15:8, F. C. Baur, and the origins of Paul's Gentile mission

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Mitchell, Matthew Wesley

This dissertation proposes a new understanding of Paul's Gentile mission and its relationship to his so-called "conversion." This dissertation examines the origins of Paul's mission to the Gentiles, and locates it in his claims to have been personally commissioned to undertake such a mission by Jesus. Specifically, I argue that it is the rejection of Paul's claim to be an apostle, a claim founded upon his "conversion" experience, that precipitates his mission to the Gentiles. In arguing this view, I draw upon Ferdinand Christian Baur's nineteenth century theories concerning both the unreliability of Acts as a historical source, and his proposal of a clear division between Paul and the other apostles. In establishing the methodological and theoretical framework of the dissertation, I discuss the "New Perspective on Paul" that has dominated New Testament scholarship over the past thirty years. My study is also informed methodologically by the growing interest in rhetorical criticism among biblical scholars, although the emphasis of this dissertation bears more of a resemblance to the approach of the New Rhetoric than the categories of classical, Greco-Roman rhetoric. The textual component of this work falls into two stages. The first contains a full examination of Paul's "conversion passages" in Galatians 1:15--17 and 1 Corinthians 15:8, attempting to situate these seemingly unusual self-descriptions in their cultural contexts. The second involves an examination of F. C. Baur's presentation of Paul, and the reception of Baur's views among biblical scholars throughout the years following his scholarly activity. This dissertation makes two claims, each of which can stand on its own as an important contribution to scholarship. My first claim is that components of Baur's work support my proposal concerning Paul's Gentile mission and his experience of apostolic rejection, and that this proposal has much to commend it as an explanation of a perennial scholarly puzzle. My second claim is methodological, as I demonstrate that scholarly writings about Paul and his modern interpreters are themselves exercises in argumentation, and thus are not to be accepted uncritically, or without close attention to the rhetorical practices they utilize.

The University of Nebraska at Omaha has been a state leader in helping Nebraska teachers embrace earth systems science education, with a special emphasis in online coursework. UNO was one of the initial members in the Earth Systems Science Education Alliance (ESSEA) and has offered three different ESSEA courses, with a total of 167 students having taken ESSEA courses at UNO for graduate credit. UNO is currently involved in expanding its earth system science courses, modules, and educational research. We are also integrating these courses into several degree programs, including a Masters of Science in Education, a new Middle School Endorsement, a Certificate in Urban Education, and the Graduate Program for the Department of Geography/Geology. UNO is beginning to examine teacher content learning and science reasoning within its coursework. Feedback surveys from earlier ESSEA offerings already indicate a strongly positive perception of the courses by the teachers enrolled in the coursework. Project impact has been documented in teacher projects, quotes, and lessons associated with the coursework activities. We will describe the UNO earth system science efforts (emphasizing ESSEA coursework), and describe past efforts and teacher perceptions, as well as new strategies being undertaken to more closely examine content learning and science reasoning impact with course participants. We will also describe online course modules being developed within the UNO online course efforts, including one on the global amphibian crisis, and also the impact of urbanization on a local native prairie environment.

We analyzed 36,789 patients who were listed for heart transplantation from January 1999 through April 2012. These patients were separated into 2 eras centered on the July 12, 2006 UNOS policy change. Pre- and post-transplantation characteristics were compared by UNOS regions. Waitlist mortality decreased nationally (up to 180 days: 13.3% vs. 7.9% after the UNOS policy change, p < 0.001) and within each region. Similarly, 2-year post-transplant mortality decreased nationally (2-year mortality: 17.3% vs. 14.6%; p < 0.001) as well as regionally. Waitlist time for UNOS status 1A and 1B candidates increased nationally 17.8 days on average (p < 0.001) with variability between the regions. The greatest increases were in Region 9 (59.2-day increase, p < 0.001) and Region 4 (41.2-day increase, p < 0.001). Although the use of mechanical circulatory support increased nearly 2.3-fold nationally in Era 2, significant differences were present on a regional basis. In Regions 6, 7, and 10, nearly 40% of those transplanted required left ventricular assist device bridging, whereas only 19.6%, 22.3%, and 15.5% required a left ventricular assist device in regions 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The 2006 UNOS policy change has resulted in significant regional heterogeneity with respect to waitlist time and reliance on mechanical circulatory support as a bridge to transplantation, although overall both waitlist mortality and post-transplant survival are improved.

The efficient and accurate description of the electronic structure of strongly correlated systems is still a largely unsolved problem.

Ukrainian network of Optical Stations for man-made space objects observation

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Sybiryakova, Yevgeniya

2016-07-01

The Ukrainian Network of Optical Stations (UNOS) for man-made objects research was founded in 2012 as an association of professional astronomers. The main goals of network are: positional and photometric observations of man-made space objects, calculation of orbital elements, research of shape and period of rotation. The network consists of 8 stations: Kiev, Nikolaev, Odesa, Uzhgorod, Lviv, Yevpatoriya, Alchevsk. UNOS has 12 telescopes for observation of man-made space objects. The new original methods of positional observation were developed for optical observation of geosynchronous and low earth orbit satellites. The observational campaigns of LEO satellites held in the network every year. The numerical model of space object motion, developed in UNOS, is using for orbit calculation. The results of orbital elements calculation are represented on the UNOS web-site http://umos.mao.kiev.ua/eng/. The photometric observation of selected objects is also carried out in network.

Tiryaki, Erhan; Coşkun, Emre; Kocahan, Özlem; Özder, Serhat

2017-02-01

In this work, the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) with Paul wavelet was improved as a tool for determination of refractive index dispersion of dielectric film by using the reflectance spectrum of the film. The reflectance spectrum was generated theoretically in the range of 0.8333 - 3.3333 μm wavenumber and it was analyzed with presented method. Obtained refractive index determined from various resolution of Paul wavelet were compared with the input values, and the importance of the tunable resolution with Paul wavelet was discussed briefly. The noise immunity and uncertainty of the method was also studied.

Exposures to 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate during polyurethane spray painting in the U.S. Air Force.

PubMed

Carlton, G N; England, E C

2000-09-01

1,6-Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) exposures were measured during polyurethane enamel spray painting at four Air Force bases. Breathing zone samples were collected for HDI monomer and polyisocyanates (oligomers) using three sampling methods: NIOSH Method 5521, the Iso-Chek sampler, and the total aerosol mass method (TAMM). Exposures to HDI monomer are low when compared to current occupational exposure limits; the highest 8-hr time-weighted average (TWA) exposure found was 3.5 micrograms/m3, below the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) threshold limit value (TLV) of 34 micrograms/m3. HDI oligomer levels were higher; mean task exposures indicated by either the Iso-Chek sampler or TAMM are above the Oregon ceiling limit of 1 mg/m3. Eight-hour TWA exposures, however, were much lower, with only one exceeding the Oregon standard of 0.5 mg/m3. Poor worker practices commonly observed during this study included: standing in downwind positions so paint overspray passed through breathing zones; spraying toward other painters; and using excessive paint spray gun air cap pressures. Workers should stand in upwind orientation relative to the aircraft being painted, causing overspray to move away from the painter's breathing zone; adjust their position to prevent spraying other painters or limit paint application to one worker at a time; and use air cap pressure gauges prior to spraying to limit spray gun air cap pressures and reduce paint overspray generation rates. These improved techniques will result in reduced worker exposures to isocyanates.

Renal calcinosis and stone formation in mice lacking osteopontin, Tamm-Horsfall protein, or both.

Although often supersaturated with mineral salts such as calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate, normal urine possesses an innate ability to keep them from forming harmful crystals. This inhibitory activity has been attributed to the presence of urinary macromolecules, although controversies abound regarding their role, or lack thereof, in preventing renal mineralization. Here, we show that 10% of the mice lacking osteopontin (OPN) and 14.3% of the mice lacking Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) spontaneously form interstitial deposits of calcium phosphate within the renal papillae, events never seen in wild-type mice. Lack of both proteins causes renal crystallization in 39.3% of the double-null mice. Urinalysis revealed elevated concentrations of urine phosphorus and brushite (calcium phosphate) supersaturation in THP-null and OPN/THP-double null mice, suggesting that impaired phosphorus handling may be linked to interstitial papillary calcinosis in THP- but not in OPN-null mice. In contrast, experimentally induced hyperoxaluria provokes widespread intratubular calcium oxalate crystallization and stone formation in OPN/THP-double null mice, while completely sparing the wild-type controls. Whole urine from OPN-, THP-, or double-null mice all possessed a dramatically reduced ability to inhibit the adhesion of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals to renal epithelial cells. These data establish OPN and THP as powerful and functionally synergistic inhibitors of calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate crystallization in vivo and suggest that defects in either molecule may contribute to renal calcinosis and stone formation, an exceedingly common condition that afflicts up to 12% males and 5% females.

Does ammonia trigger hyperventilation in the elasmobranch, Squalus acanthias suckleyi?

PubMed

De Boeck, Gudrun; Wood, Chris M

2015-01-15

We examined the ventilatory response of the spiny dogfish, to elevated internal or environmental ammonia. Sharks were injected via arterial catheters with ammonia solutions or their Na salt equivalents sufficient to increase plasma total ammonia concentration [TAmm]a by 3-5 fold from 145±21μM to 447±150μM using NH4HCO3 and a maximum of 766±100μM using (NH4)2SO4. (NH4)2SO4 caused a small increase in ventilation frequency (+14%) and a large increase in amplitude (+69%), while Na2SO4 did not. However, CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) also increased and arterial pHa and plasma bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3(-)]a) decreased. NH4HCO3 caused a smaller increase in plasma ammonia resulting in a smaller but significant, short lived increases in ventilation frequency (+6%) and amplitude (36%), together with a rise in PaCO2 and [HCO3(-)]a. Injection with NaHCO3 which increased pHa and [HCO3(-)]a did not change ventilation. Plasma ammonia concentration correlated significantly with ventilation amplitude, while ventilation frequency showed a (negative) correlation with pHa. Exposure to high environmental ammonia (1500μM NH4HCO3) did not induce changes in ventilation until plasma [TAmm]a increased and ventilation amplitude (but not frequency) increased in parallel. We conclude that internal ammonia stimulates ventilation in spiny dogfish, especially amplitude or stroke volume, while environmental ammonia only stimulates ventilation after ammonia diffuses into the bloodstream.

Vitamin C supplementation and the common cold--was Linus Pauling right or wrong?

PubMed

Hemilä, H

1997-01-01

In 1970 Linus Pauling claimed that vitamin C prevents and alleviates the episodes of the common cold. Pauling was correct in concluding from trials published up till then, that in general vitamin C does have biological effects on the common cold, but he was rather over-optimistic as regards the size of benefit. His quantitative conclusions were based on a single placebo-controlled trial on schoolchildren in a skiing camp in the Swiss Alps, in which a significant decrease in common cold incidence and duration in the group administered 1 g/day of vitamin C was found. As children in a skiing camp are not a representative sample of the general population, Pauling's extrapolation to the population at large was too bold, erring as to the magnitude of the effect. Nevertheless, Pauling's general conclusion that vitamin C has physiological effects on the common cold is of major importance as it conflicts with the prevailing consensus that the only physiological effect of vitamin C on human beings is to prevent scurvy.

Comparative study of numerical schemes of TVD3, UNO3-ACM and optimized compact scheme

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

Lee, Duck-Joo; Hwang, Chang-Jeon; Ko, Duck-Kon; Kim, Jae-Wook

1995-01-01

Three different schemes are employed to solve the benchmark problem. The first one is a conventional TVD-MUSCL (Monotone Upwind Schemes for Conservation Laws) scheme. The second scheme is a UNO3-ACM (Uniformly Non-Oscillatory Artificial Compression Method) scheme. The third scheme is an optimized compact finite difference scheme modified by us: the 4th order Runge Kutta time stepping, the 4th order pentadiagonal compact spatial discretization with the maximum resolution characteristics. The problems of category 1 are solved by using the second (UNO3-ACM) and third (Optimized Compact) schemes. The problems of category 2 are solved by using the first (TVD3) and second (UNO3-ACM) schemes. The problem of category 5 is solved by using the first (TVD3) scheme. It can be concluded from the present calculations that the Optimized Compact scheme and the UN03-ACM show good resolutions for category 1 and category 2 respectively.

A structure preserving Lanczos algorithm for computing the optical absorption spectrum

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Shao, Meiyue; Jornada, Felipe H. da; Lin, Lin

2016-11-16

We present a new structure preserving Lanczos algorithm for approximating the optical absorption spectrum in the context of solving full Bethe-Salpeter equation without Tamm-Dancoff approximation. The new algorithm is based on a structure preserving Lanczos procedure, which exploits the special block structure of Bethe-Salpeter Hamiltonian matrices. A recently developed technique of generalized averaged Gauss quadrature is incorporated to accelerate the convergence. We also establish the connection between our structure preserving Lanczos procedure with several existing Lanczos procedures developed in different contexts. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our Lanczos algorithm.

On the Support of Minimizers of Causal Variational Principles

Finster, Felix; Schiefeneder, Daniela

2013-11-01

A class of causal variational principles on a compact manifold is introduced and analyzed both numerically and analytically. It is proved under general assumptions that the support of a minimizing measure is either completely timelike, or it is singular in the sense that its interior is empty. In the examples of the circle, the sphere and certain flag manifolds, the general results are supplemented by a more detailed and explicit analysis of the minimizers. On the sphere, we get a connection to packing problems and the Tammes distribution. Moreover, the minimal action is estimated from above and below.

The first 'molecular disease': a story of Linus Pauling, the intellectual patron.

PubMed

Gormley, Melinda

2007-06-01

In November 1949, chemist Linus Pauling and three colleagues published an article on sickle-cell anemia, a study that opened up new and exciting possibilities for research into such 'molecular diseases'. Even before this celebrated publication appeared in Science, Pauling foresaw its potential benefits and announced it as a medical breakthrough: '... our structural chemistry and understanding of molecules is getting to the point where it should be of assistance in converting medicine into a real science' [Guiles, R. (1949) Discovery of blood disease called key to cancer research. The Detroit Times 13 Sep 1949, Newspaper Clippings 1949n.18, Pauling Papers.]. Their discovery--that this debilitating disorder was caused by an abnormal form of hemoglobin--was borne out of a rich mix of expertise, from Pauling's remarkable intuition to the careful experimental chemistry of his student Harvey A. Itano. It also relied upon technological innovation: a custom-made electrophoresis machine housed at the California Institute of Technology was the perfect tool to reveal fundamental chemical differences between normal and abnormal forms of hemoglobin. Not only did this work establish a new way of looking at inherited diseases, it also stimulated the mass production of the electrophoresis machine as an essential investigative and diagnostic tool. A close inspection of this case study illustrates just how Pauling ran his laboratory and helps to explain how one man could achieve so much over his lifetime.

A pioneer in the novel application of seismic observations to infer the flow field of Earth's mantle and the mechanics of fault zones, Paul Gordon Silver tragically was killed on 7 August in an automobile accident that also took the life of his 22-year-old daughter, Celine. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Calif., Paul received all of his degrees from the University of California. Following receipt of a B.A. in psychology from the University of California (UC), Los Angeles (1970), he pursued a career as a musician for several years. Drawn to Earth science, Paul obtained a B.A. in geology from UC Berkeley, in 1976, and he was recruited by Tom Jordan (now at the University of Southern California) to the graduate program of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.

Major Additions to the Linus Pauling Canon

The National Library of Medicine has also just posted a Web site on Linus Pauling in its Profiles of Science series. While by no means as rich as the various Oregon State University sites, it is well worth visiting. There are texts of various speeches (including his Nobel address), many downloadable photographs, correspondence (including a poignant letter to James Watson and Francis Crick concerning their "rival" structures for DNA), and much else besides. There is a certain irony in Linus Pauling being honored by the National Library of Medicine. Ever since his 1949 presidential address to the American Chemical Society, and perhaps earlier, Pauling had been at loggerheads, sometimes acrimoniously so, with the medical establishment. It is easy to imagine him somewhere in the timeless infinitude of the empyrean sporting his characteristic ear-to-ear grin.

Linear-scaling time-dependent density-functional theory beyond the Tamm-Dancoff approximation: Obtaining efficiency and accuracy with in situ optimised local orbitals.

PubMed

Zuehlsdorff, T J; Hine, N D M; Payne, M C; Haynes, P D

2015-11-28

We present a solution of the full time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) eigenvalue equation in the linear response formalism exhibiting a linear-scaling computational complexity with system size, without relying on the simplifying Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA). The implementation relies on representing the occupied and unoccupied subspaces with two different sets of in situ optimised localised functions, yielding a very compact and efficient representation of the transition density matrix of the excitation with the accuracy associated with a systematic basis set. The TDDFT eigenvalue equation is solved using a preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm that is very memory-efficient. The algorithm is validated on a small test molecule and a good agreement with results obtained from standard quantum chemistry packages is found, with the preconditioner yielding a significant improvement in convergence rates. The method developed in this work is then used to reproduce experimental results of the absorption spectrum of bacteriochlorophyll in an organic solvent, where it is demonstrated that the TDA fails to reproduce the main features of the low energy spectrum, while the full TDDFT equation yields results in good qualitative agreement with experimental data. Furthermore, the need for explicitly including parts of the solvent into the TDDFT calculations is highlighted, making the treatment of large system sizes necessary that are well within reach of the capabilities of the algorithm introduced here. Finally, the linear-scaling properties of the algorithm are demonstrated by computing the lowest excitation energy of bacteriochlorophyll in solution. The largest systems considered in this work are of the same order of magnitude as a variety of widely studied pigment-protein complexes, opening up the possibility of studying their properties without having to resort to any semiclassical approximations to parts of the protein environment.

Urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein, albumin, vitamin D-binding protein, and retinol-binding protein as early biomarkers of chronic kidney disease in dogs.

Proteinuria is a marker and mediator of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In clinical practice, the urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UP/C) is of limited usefulness, because it indicates only the magnitude of proteinuria and not the origin of the loss (glomerular or tubular). The complete assessment of proteinuria includes quantitative and qualitative evaluations, both of which are required in order to optimize the therapy. In addition to measuring the UP/C, we performed SDS-PAGE and western blotting to determine the expression of albumin, vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP), retinol-binding protein (RBP), and Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) in urine samples of 49 dogs: healthy (control) dogs ( n  =   9); and dogs with CKD ( n  =   40), stratified by stage. In the dogs with stage 3 or 4 CKD, there was a predominance of tubular proteins. Neither VDBP nor RBP was observed in the urine of the control dogs. Among the dogs with stage 1 or 2 CKD, VDBP and RBP were detected in those without proteinuria or with borderline proteinuria. The expression of urinary albumin was significantly higher in the stage 4 group than in any other group ( P  ≤   0.01). In the stage 4 group, urinary THP was either undetectable or lower than in the control group ( P  ≤   0.01). In conclusion, urinary VDBP and RBP might act as early markers of kidney injury, and a decrease in urinary THP could be an indicator of CKD progression. © 2017 The Authors.

A simplified Tamm-Dancoff density functional approach for the electronic excitation spectra of very large molecules

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Grimme, Stefan

2013-06-01

Two approximations in the Tamm-Dancoff density functional theory approach (TDA-DFT) to electronically excited states are proposed which allow routine computations for electronic ultraviolet (UV)- or circular dichroism (CD) spectra of molecules with 500-1000 atoms. Speed-ups compared to conventional time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) treatments of about two to three orders of magnitude in the excited state part at only minor loss of accuracy are obtained. The method termed sTDA ("s" for simplified) employs atom-centered Löwdin-monopole based two-electron repulsion integrals with the asymptotically correct 1/R behavior and perturbative single excitation configuration selection. It is formulated generally for any standard global hybrid density functional with given Fock-exchange mixing parameter ax. The method performs well for two standard benchmark sets of vertical singlet-singlet excitations for values of ax in the range 0.2-0.6. The mean absolute deviations from reference data are only 0.2-0.3 eV and similar to those from standard TD-DFT. In three cases (two dyes and one polypeptide), good mutual agreement between the electronic spectra (up to 10-11 eV excitation energy) from the sTDA method and those from TD(A)-DFT is obtained. The computed UV- and CD-spectra of a few typical systems (e.g., C60, two transition metal complexes, [7]helicene, polyalanine, a supramolecular aggregate with 483 atoms and about 7000 basis functions) compare well with corresponding experimental data. The method is proposed together with medium-sized double- or triple-zeta type atomic-orbital basis sets as a quantum chemical tool to investigate the spectra of huge molecular systems at a reliable DFT level.

Tunneling time in attosecond experiments, intrinsic-type of time. Keldysh, and Mandelstam-Tamm time

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Kullie, Ossama

2016-05-01

Tunneling time in attosecond and strong-field experiments is one of the most controversial issues in current research, because of its importance to the theory of time, the time operator and the time-energy uncertainty relation in quantum mechanics. In Kullie (2015 Phys. Rev. A 92 052118) we derived an estimation of the (real) tunneling time, which shows an excellent agreement with the time measured in attosecond experiments, our derivation is found by utilizing the time-energy uncertainty relation, and it represents a quantum clock. In this work, we show different aspects of the tunneling time in attosecond experiments, we discuss and compare the different views and approaches, which are used to calculate the tunneling time, i.e. Keldysh time (as a real or imaginary quantity), Mandelstam-Tamm time, the classical view of the time measurement and our tunneling time relation(s). We draw some conclusions concerning the validity and the relation between the different types of the tunneling time with the hope that they will help to answer the question put forward by Orlando et al (2014 J. Phys. B 47 204002, 2014 Phys. Rev. A 89 014102): tunneling time, what does it mean? However, as we will see, the important question is a more general one: how to understand the time and the measurement of the time of a quantum system? In respect to our result, the time in quantum mechanics can be, in more general fashion, classified in two types, intrinsic dynamically connected, and external dynamically not connected to the system, and consequently (perhaps only) classical Newtonian time remains as a parametric type of time.

Human Tamm-Horsfall protein, a renal specific protein, serves as a cofactor in complement 3b degradation

PubMed Central

2017-01-01

Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) is an abundant urinary protein of renal origin. We hypothesize that THP can act as an inhibitor of complement since THP binds complement 1q (C1q) of the classical complement pathway, inhibits activation of this pathway, and is important in decreasing renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (a complement-mediated condition). In this study, we began to investigate whether THP interacted with the alternate complement pathway via complement factor H (CFH). THP was shown to bind CFH using ligand blots and in an ELISA (KD of 1 × 10−6 M). Next, the ability of THP to alter CFH’s normal action as it functioned as a cofactor in complement factor I (CFI)–mediated complement 3b (C3b) degradation was investigated. Unexpectedly, control experiments in these in vitro assays suggested that THP, without added CFH, could act as a cofactor in CFI-mediated C3b degradation. This cofactor activity was present equally in THP isolated from 10 different individuals. While an ELISA demonstrated small amounts of CFH contaminating THP samples, these CFH amounts were insufficient to explain the degree of cofactor activity present in THP. An ELISA demonstrated that THP directly bound C3b (KD ~ 5 × 10−8 m), a prerequisite for a protein acting as a C3b degradation cofactor. The cofactor activity of THP likely resides in the protein portion of THP since partially deglycosylated THP still retained cofactor activity. In conclusion, THP appears to participate directly in complement inactivation by its ability to act as a cofactor for C3b degradation, thus adding support to the hypothesis that THP might act as an endogenous urinary tract inhibitor of complement.

Tamm-Horsfall protein translocates to the basolateral domain of thick ascending limbs, interstitium, and circulation during recovery from acute kidney injury

PubMed Central

McCracken, Ruth; Liu, Yan; Heitmeier, Monique R.; Bourgeois, Soline; Ryerse, Jan; Wu, Xue-Ru

2013-01-01

Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) is a glycoprotein normally targeted to the apical membrane domain of the kidney's thick ascending limbs (TAL). We previously showed that THP of TAL confers protection to proximal tubules against acute kidney injury (AKI) via a possible cross talk between the two functionally distinct tubular segments. However, the extent, timing, specificity, and functional effects of basolateral translocation of THP during AKI remain unclear. Using an ischemia-reperfusion (IRI) model of murine AKI, we show here that, while THP expression in TAL is downregulated at the peak of injury, it is significantly upregulated 48 h after IRI. Confocal immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy reveal a major redirection of THP during recovery from the apical membrane domain of TAL towards the basolateral domain, interstitium, and basal compartment of S3 segments. This corresponds with increased THP in the serum but not in the urine. The overall epithelial polarity of TAL cells does not change, as evidenced by correct apical targeting of Na+-K+-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC2) and basolateral targeting of Na+-K+-ATPase. Compared with the wild-type, THP−/− mice show a significantly delayed renal recovery after IRI, due possibly to reduced suppression by THP of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 during recovery. Taken together, our data suggest that THP redistribution in the TAL after AKI is a protein-specific event and its increased interstitial presence negatively regulates the evolving inflammatory signaling in neighboring proximal tubules, thereby enhancing kidney recovery. The increase of serum THP may be used as a prognostic biomarker for recovery from AKI. PMID:23389456

Catalytic creativity. The case of Linus Pauling.

PubMed

Nakamura, J; Csikszentmihalyi, M

2001-04-01

This article illustrates how creativity is constituted by forces beyond the innovating individual, drawing examples from the career of the eminent chemist Linus Pauling. From a systems perspective, a scientific theory or other product is creative only if the innovation gains the acceptance of a field of experts and so transforms the culture. In addition to this crucial selective function vis-à-vis the completed work, the social field can play a catalytic role, fostering productive interactions between person and domain throughout a career. Pauling's case yields examples of how variously the social field contributes to creativity, shaping the individual's standards of judgment and providing opportunities, incentives, and critical evaluation. A formidable set of strengths suited Pauling for his scientific achievements, but examination of his career qualifies the notion of a lone genius whose brilliance carries the day.

Brotherly Advice: Letters from Hugo to Paul Ehrenfest in his Final Years

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Halpern, Paul

2006-03-01

At the start of the 1930s, theoretician Paul Ehrenfest spent much of his time traveling through America and Europe while engaged in a steady stream of lectures. This traveling phase coincided with a frantic and intense period of negative self-examination, financial difficulty, and various other personal concerns that would ultimately lead to his 1933 suicide. Throughout these final years, he kept up a steady correspondence with his brother Hugo, a physician based in Saint Louis. Ten years older than Paul, Hugo freely doled out frank psychological advice about subjects ranging from the proper treatment of children to the dangers of self-pity. Through a look at some of the letters exchanged between the two brothers, this talk will examine the role Hugo played during the dark final years of Paul Ehrenfest's life.

The use of GIS for monitoring and predicting urban growth in east and west St Paul, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

PubMed

Hathout, S

2002-11-01

Most urban growth in Canada occurs in the urban-rural fringe. The increasing dispersal of the Canadian urban population is due to centrifugal forces pulling urbanites past the suburbs into the surrounding exurban communities. Most Canadian urban centres are located on prime agricultural land. Exurban sprawl devours an inordinate amount of the better agricultural land. The growth around the city of Winnipeg is a case in point. Within Winnipeg's urban field are the rural municipalities of East and West St Paul. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of urban growth on the agricultural land of these RMs as well as the rate of urban growth in both Municipalities based on database analysis using aerial photographs taken in 1960 and 1989 and Geographic Information System (GIS). East St Paul was found to have a higher rate of urbanization (from 10.14% to 43.75%) between 1960 and 1989 than West St Paul (from 7.36% to 23.57%). The growth prediction using Markov probability chain analysis showed that East St Paul will henceforth experience a reduced rate of increase than West St Paul. The rate of urbanization for both RMs is found to be comparable with areas surrounding other major cities such as Toronto. The largest increases in urban land use categories occurred in and around the existing exurban settlements. It was found that most urbanization take place on the most fertile soil.

Accidental degeneracies in nonlinear quantum deformed systems

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Aleixo, A. N. F.; Balantekin, A. B.

2011-09-01

We construct a multi-parameter nonlinear deformed algebra for quantum confined systems that includes many other deformed models as particular cases. We demonstrate that such systems exhibit the property of accidental pairwise energy level degeneracies. We also study, as a special case of our multi-parameter deformation formalism, the extension of the Tamm-Dancoff cutoff deformed oscillator and the occurrence of accidental pairwise degeneracy in the energy levels of the deformed system. As an application, we discuss the case of a trigonometric Rosen-Morse potential, which is successfully used in models for quantum confined systems, ranging from electrons in quantum dots to quarks in hadrons.

Paul Trap Simulator Experiment (PTSX) to simulate intense beam propagation through a periodic focusing quadrupole field

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Davidson, Ronald C.; Efthimion, Philip C.; Gilson, Erik; Majeski, Richard; Qin, Hong

2002-01-01

The Paul Trap Simulator Experiment (PTSX) is under construction at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory to simulate intense beam propagation through a periodic quadrupole magnetic field. In the Paul trap configuration, a long nonneutral plasma column is confined axially by dc voltages on end cylinders at z=+L and z=-L, and transverse confinement is provided by segmented cylindrical electrodes with applied oscillatory voltages ±V0(t) over 90° segments. Because the transverse focusing force is similar in waveform to that produced by a discrete set of periodic quadrupole magnets in a frame moving with the beam, the Paul trap configuration offers the possibility of simulating intense beam propagation in a compact laboratory facility. The experimental layout is described, together with the planned experiments to study beam mismatch, envelope instabilities, halo particle production, and collective wave excitations.

Asymptotic solution of Fokker-Planck equation for plasma in Paul traps

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Shah, Kushal

2010-05-15

An exact analytic solution of the Vlasov equation for the plasma distribution in a Paul trap is known to be a Maxwellian and thus, immune to collisions under the assumption of infinitely fast relaxation [K. Shah and H. S. Ramachandran, Phys. Plasmas 15, 062303 (2008)]. In this paper, it is shown that even for a more realistic situation of finite time relaxation, solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation lead to an equilibrium solution of the form of a Maxwellian with oscillatory temperature. This shows that the rf heating observed in Paul traps cannot be caused due to collisional effects alone.

Headache classification and the Bible: Was St Paul's thorn in the flesh migraine?

PubMed

Göbel, H; Isler, H; Hasenfratz, H P

1995-06-01

The conversion of Saul to Paul was a major event in the history of Western culture. Compared with its impact, any medical comments may seem redundant, but they have kept their place in the literature for many centuries. The flashing light that caused Saul to fall is often explained as solar retinopathy or keratitis, a seizure, or even a hysterical fit. These interpretations propose either a trivial injury or disease that would interfere with mental health. Neither version is quite compatible with the dramatic dimension of the event and with Paul's later achievements and sufferings. In later years, Paul became a great manager, preacher and writer who was able to carry on under any kind of duress, though not without very painful reactions. He was suffering from bouts of unilateral headache, and also from a chronic eye condition which gave great trouble to his followers but did not cause lasting damage; the descriptions fulfil the criteria for migraine without aura of the 1988 Headache Classification. If the flashing light that caused Paul to fall down is interpreted as a visual migraine aura, with the additional symptoms of "not seeing" or photophobia and anorexia, it falls into place with his later history of migraine.

Historical review: another 50th anniversary--new periodicities in coiled coils.

PubMed

Gruber, Markus; Lupas, Andrei N

2003-12-01

In 1953, Francis Crick and Linus Pauling both proposed models of supercoiled alpha helices ('coiled coils') for the structure of keratin. These were the first attempts at modelling the tertiary structure of a protein. Crick emphasized the packing mode of the side-chains ('knobs-into-holes'), which required a periodicity of seven residues over two helical turns (7/2) and a supercoil in the opposite sense of the constituent helices. By contrast, Pauling envisaged a broader set of periodicities (4/1, 7/2, 18/5, 15/4, 11/3) and supercoils of both senses. Crick's model became canonical and the 'heptad repeat' essentially synonymous with coiled coils, but 50 years later new crystal structures and protein sequences show that the less common periodicities envisaged by Pauling also occur in coiled coils, adding a variant packing mode ('knobs-to-knobs') to the standard model. Pauling's laboratory notebooks suggest that he searched unsuccessfully for this packing mode in 1953.

Linus Pauling's "molecular diseases": between history and memory.

PubMed

Strasser, Bruno J

2002-08-30

In 1949, Linus Pauling and his collaborators published a study in the journal Science entitled "Sickle Cell Anemia, a Molecular Disease." In this now classic study, they showed that hemoglobin from patients suffering from sickle cell anemia has a different electrical charge than hemoglobin from healthy individuals. This result demonstrated for the first time that an abnormal protein could be causally linked to a disease, and that genes determined the structure of proteins. This report made headline news and had a powerful impact on both the biomedical community and the general public. Fifty years later, this study is discussed in almost every medical and biological textbook and has became a favorite example in editorials to illustrate the progress of biomedical research. This article explores the history of Pauling's sickle cell anemia and its subsequent integration in different collective memories, up to the present day.

Are we hammering square pegs into round holes? An investigation of the meta-analyses of reading research with students who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing and students who are hearing.

In a qualitative meta-analysis, the researchers systematically reviewed qualitative and quantitative meta-analyses on reading research with PK-12 students published after the 2000 National Reading Panel (NRP) report. Eleven qualitative and 39 quantitative meta-analyses were reviewed examining reading research with typically developing hearing students, special education hearing students (including English Language Learners), and d/Deaf or hard of hearing (d/Dhh) students. Generally, the meta-analysis yielded findings similar to and corroborative of the NRP's. Contradictory results (e.g., regarding the role of rhyme awareness in reading outcomes) most often resulted from differing definitions of interventions and their measurements. The analysis provided evidence of several instructional approaches that support reading development. On the basis of the qualitative similarity hypothesis (Paul, 2010, 2012; Paul & Lee, 2010; Paul & Wang, 2012; Paul, Wang, & Williams, 2013), the researchers argue that these instructional strategies also should effectively support d/Dhh children's reading development.

The hippocampus is an important brain region involved in memory and learning. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB), and phospho-p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) are known to contribute to hippocampal memory/learning. The present study aimed to clarify the effects of nasal obstruction during the growth period on memory/learning in an animal model, using combined behavioral, biochemical, and histological approaches. Male BALB/C mice underwent unilateral nasal obstruction (UNO) by cauterization at 8 days of age and were subjected to Y-maze and passive avoidance tests at 15 weeks of age. The serum corticosterone levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and brain tissues were subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining and histological analysis or homogenization and Western blot analysis. Compared with control mice, UNO mice had lower blood oxygen saturation levels and exhibited apparent memory/learning impairments during behavioral testing. Additionally, the UNO group had higher hippocampal BDNF levels and serum corticosterone levels, lower hippocampal TrkB and phospho-p44/p42 MAPK levels, and reduced neuron numbers relative to controls. Our findings suggest that UNO during adolescence affects the hippocampus and causes memory/learning impairments. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Paul Langerhans: a prilgrim "traveling" from functional histology to marine biology.

Raica, Marius; Cimpean, Anca Maria

2017-06-01

The nineteenth century was the time of a real revolution in science and medicine. A lot of seminal discoveries in medicine and biology were done in this time, and many of them were coincident with the introduction of the compound microscope by Hermann van Deijl and the standard histological technique by Paul Ehrlich. The main tissue types and individual cells were characterized and originally classified more than hundred years ago, although less attention was paid to their basic functions. This was mainly due to the modality of tissue specimen processing that allowed particularly detailed descriptive studies. Even so, we can notice some attempts to correlate the structure with the function. The German scientist Paul Langerhans, well-known for the discovery of Langerhans islets of the pancreas and Langerhans cells from the epidermis, tried to change the conventional fate of morphological studies introducing in his works functional hypothesis based on traditional microscopic observations even from the beginning of his scientific career. Paul Langerhans was a complex personality of the second half of the nineteenth century, not only in medicine, but also in other fields of biology. In the present review, presented is the life and research activity of Paul Langerhans, not only because of the importance of his discoveries, but also for perspectives that were opened by these findings in unexpected fields of medicine and biology.

2014-01-01

This article reports on the disease that afflicted Paul Klee, the famous artist. He died before the disease that killed him could be properly diagnosed. There was some conjecture afterwards that he may have suffered from scleroderma. The thorough and diligent research the author of this article has carried out over many years allows him to argue that Paul Klee was suffering from this autoimmune disease since 1935. With a degree of probability that borders on certainty, it seems that the artist suffered from ‘diffuse systemic sclerosis’, and it is from this, the most severe form of the rare autoimmune disease, that he died in 1940.

Use of a Linear Paul Trap to Study Random Noise-Induced Beam Degradation in High-Intensity Accelerators

2009-04-10

A random noise-induced beam degradation that can affect intense beam transport over long propagation distances has been experimentally studied by making use of the transverse beam dynamics equivalence between an alternating-gradient (AG) focusing system and a linear Paul trap system. For the present studies, machine imperfections in the quadrupole focusing lattice are considered, which are emulated by adding small random noise on the voltage waveform of the quadrupole electrodes in the Paul trap. It is observed that externally driven noise continuously produces a nonthermal tail of trapped ions, and increases the transverse emittance almost linearly with the duration of themore » noise.« less

Thirty-three years of recruiting and graduating minority students at the University of New Orleans.

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Serpa, L. F.; Pavlis, T. L.

2006-12-01

The University of New Orleans (UNO) began a formal program to recruit minority geoscience students in 1974 when Dr. Louis Fernandez initiated the program through a grant from the National Science Foundation. A major tool in the original program was to take minority high school students on a field trip. That early program was a major success at a time when even one African American student graduating with a B.S. degree in Geology or Geophysics from any university in the U.S. was considered to be significant. The field trip has continued every year since the program began and it continues to be part of a very successful recruiting effort. Over the last approximately 15 years, the minority geoscience undergraduate student population at UNO rose to approximately 40% with African American students making up the largest single ethnic group. The retention and graduation rates of these minority undergraduates at UNO are high and minority students are often graduating at or near the top of their class. Despite the disproportionate displacement of African Americans from the New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina, those minority geoscience students who can return to UNO are doing so in significant numbers. Thus, the minority program appears to have achieved a high level of sustainability. Recently we took a closer look at the program to determine the possible explanations for its success. Although availability of scholarships, tutoring and mentors clearly contributes to our success, the key to the success of the program remains the field trip. The trip not only serves as an academic opportunity for students to see geological features first hand and develop a curiosity for earth sciences, but it also affords an opportunity to build trust and a relationship between the faculty on the trip and the meet other potential students. That trust may be the most important key to our successful recruitment of minority students at UNO. In addition, the approximately 2 week field trip is spent traveling in areas where minorities, particularly African Americans, are uncommon (southern Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, etc). Perhaps it is the thrill of feeling that they are traveling in hostile territory combined with the close living quarters and continuous interactions as a group, as well as the outstanding instruction, during the trip, that gives them the incentive to go to UNO and study geology.

Progressive renal papillary calcification and ureteral stone formation in mice deficient for Tamm-Horsfall protein

PubMed Central

Liu, Yan; Mo, Lan; Goldfarb, David S.; Evan, Andrew P.; Liang, Fengxia; Khan, Saeed R.; Lieske, John C.

2010-01-01

Mammalian urine contains a range of macromolecule proteins that play critical roles in renal stone formation, among which Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) is by far the most abundant. While THP is a potent inhibitor of crystal aggregation in vitro and its ablation in vivo predisposes one of the two existing mouse models to spontaneous intrarenal calcium crystallization, key controversies remain regarding the role of THP in nephrolithiasis. By carrying out a long-range follow-up of more than 250 THP-null mice and their wild-type controls, we demonstrate here that renal calcification is a highly consistent phenotype of the THP-null mice that is age and partially gene dosage dependent, but is gender and genetic background independent. Renal calcification in THP-null mice is progressive, and by 15 mo over 85% of all the THP-null mice develop spontaneous intrarenal crystals. The crystals consist primarily of calcium phosphate in the form of hydroxyapatite, are located more frequently in the interstitial space of the renal papillae than intratubularly, particularly in older animals, and lack accompanying inflammatory cell infiltration. The interstitial deposits of hydroxyapatite observed in THP-null mice bear strong resemblances to the renal crystals found in human kidneys bearing idiopathic calcium oxalate stones. Compared with 24-h urine from the wild-type mice, that of THP-null mice is supersaturated with brushite (calcium phosphate), a stone precursor, and has reduced urinary excretion of citrate, a stone inhibitor. While less frequent than renal calcinosis, renal pelvic and ureteral stones and hydronephrosis occur in the aged THP-null mice. These results provide direct in vivo evidence indicating that normal THP plays an important role in defending the urinary system against calcification and suggest that reduced expression and/or decreased function of THP could contribute to nephrolithiasis.

Linear-scaling time-dependent density-functional theory beyond the Tamm-Dancoff approximation: Obtaining efficiency and accuracy with in situ optimised local orbitals

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Zuehlsdorff, T. J., E-mail: tjz21@cam.ac.uk; Payne, M. C.; Hine, N. D. M.

2015-11-28

We present a solution of the full time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) eigenvalue equation in the linear response formalism exhibiting a linear-scaling computational complexity with system size, without relying on the simplifying Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA). The implementation relies on representing the occupied and unoccupied subspaces with two different sets of in situ optimised localised functions, yielding a very compact and efficient representation of the transition density matrix of the excitation with the accuracy associated with a systematic basis set. The TDDFT eigenvalue equation is solved using a preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm that is very memory-efficient. The algorithm is validated on amore » small test molecule and a good agreement with results obtained from standard quantum chemistry packages is found, with the preconditioner yielding a significant improvement in convergence rates. The method developed in this work is then used to reproduce experimental results of the absorption spectrum of bacteriochlorophyll in an organic solvent, where it is demonstrated that the TDA fails to reproduce the main features of the low energy spectrum, while the full TDDFT equation yields results in good qualitative agreement with experimental data. Furthermore, the need for explicitly including parts of the solvent into the TDDFT calculations is highlighted, making the treatment of large system sizes necessary that are well within reach of the capabilities of the algorithm introduced here. Finally, the linear-scaling properties of the algorithm are demonstrated by computing the lowest excitation energy of bacteriochlorophyll in solution. The largest systems considered in this work are of the same order of magnitude as a variety of widely studied pigment-protein complexes, opening up the possibility of studying their properties without having to resort to any semiclassical approximations to parts of the protein environment.« less

In addition to calculating the ionization dose, the code scores Cerenkov energy released in the wavelength range 375–425 nm corresponding to the pick of the PpIX absorption spectrum (Fig. 1) using the Frank-Tamm formula. Results: The simulations shows thatmore » the produced Cerenkov dose suitable for activating PpIX is 4000 to 5500 times lower than the overall radiation dose for all considered beams (18MV, 45 MV and 45 MeV). These results were contradictory to the recent experimental studies by Axelsson et al. (Med. Phys. 38 (2011) p 4127), where Cerenkov dose was reported to be only two orders of magnitude lower than the radiation dose. Note that our simulation results can be corroborated by a simple model where the Frank and Tamm formula is applied for electrons with 2 MeV/cm stopping power generating Cerenkov photons in the 375–425 nm range and assuming these photons have less than 1mm penetration in tissue. Conclusion: The Cerenkov dose generated by high-energy photon and electron beams may produce minimal clinical effect in comparison with the photon fluence (or dose) commonly used for photo-dynamic therapy. At the present time, it is unclear whether Cerenkov radiation is a significant contributor to the recently observed tumor regression for patients receiving radiotherapy and PpIX versus patients receiving radiotherapy only. The ongoing study will include animal experimentation and investigation of dose rate effects on PpIX response.« less

Nitrogen metabolism, acid-base regulation, and molecular responses to ammonia and acid infusions in the spiny dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias).

Although they are ureotelic, marine elasmobranchs express Rh glycoproteins, putative ammonia channels. To address questions raised by a recent study on high environmental ammonia (HEA) exposure, dogfish were intravascularly infused for 24 h at 3 ml kg(-1) h(-1) with isosmotic NaCl (500 mmol l(-1), control), NH4HCO3 (500 mmol l(-1)), NH4Cl (500 mmol l(-1)), or HCl (as 125 mmol l(-1) HCl + 375 mmol l(-1) NaCl). While NaCl had no effect on arterial acid-base status, NH4HCO3 caused mild alkalosis, NH4Cl caused strong acidosis, and HCl caused lesser acidosis, all predominantly metabolic in nature. Total plasma ammonia (T(Amm)) and excretion rates of ammonia (J(Amm)) and urea-N (J(Urea-N)) were unaffected by NaCl or HCl. However, despite equal loading rates, plasma T(Amm) increased to a greater extent with NH4Cl, while J(Amm) increased to a greater extent with NH4HCO3 due to much greater increases in blood-to-water PNH3 gradients. As with HEA, both treatments caused large (90%) elevations of J(Urea-N), indicating that urea-N synthesis by the ornithine-urea cycle (OUC) is driven primarily by ammonia rather than HCO3(-). Branchial mRNA expressions of Rhbg and Rhp2 were unaffected by NH4HCO3 or NH4Cl, but v-type H(+)-ATPase was down-regulated by both treatments, and Rhbg and Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE2 were up-regulated by HCl. In the kidney, Rhbg was unresponsive to all treatments, but Rhp2 was up-regulated by HCl, and the urea transporter UT was up-regulated by HCl and NH4Cl. These responses are discussed in the context of current ideas about branchial, renal, and OUC function in this nitrogen-limited predator.

Initial Results of On-Line Earth System Science Course Offerings at the University of Nebraska-Omaha Through the Earth System Science Education Alliance

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Shuster, R. D.; Grandgenett, N. F.; Schnase, W. L.; Hamersky, S.; Moshman, R.

2008-12-01

The University of Nebraska at Omaha has been offering on-line Earth System Science coursework to teachers in Nebraska since 2002. UNO was one of the initial members in the Earth Systems Science Education Alliance (ESSEA) and has offered three different ESSEA courses, with nearly 200 students having taken ESSEA courses at UNO for graduate credit. Our experiences in delivering this coursework have involved both teachers who have received a stipend to take the course and those who have paid their own tuition and fees and received graduate credit for the course. We will report on the online behavior of teachers from both populations and also discuss pros and cons of each approach. UNO has also experimented with different approaches in the support and management of the course, including using undergraduate majors as content experts. This improves access of teachers to content-related feedback and is a positive experience for the undergraduate major. Feedback surveys from earlier ESSEA offerings indicate a strongly positive perception of the courses by the teachers enrolled in the coursework. Project impact has been documented in teacher projects, quotes, and lessons associated with the coursework activities. We will also describe online course modules being developed within the UNO online course efforts, including one focusing on the global amphibian crisis.

Fine structure of striations observed in barium plasma injections in the magnetospheric cleft

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Simons, D.J.; Eastman, T.E.; Pongratz, M.B.

1976-01-01

In January and November of 1975, the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory sponsored four high altitude shaped charge barium plasma injections in the magnetospheric cleft region. These experiments were TORDO UNO (January 6), TORDO DOS (January 11), PERIQUITO UNO (November 25), and PERIQUITO DOS (November 28). All four injections took place near 500 km altitude, and optical data were taken from two aircraft and a ground station. The TORDO DOS and the PERIQUITO experiments showed rapid formation of striations (within one minute after injection), and fast horizontal spreading in contrast with TORDO UNO. In PERIQUITO DOS, the debris cloud spread magneticallymore » east-west with a small net northerly motion. TORDO UNO shows very rapid poleward motion, and the remaining two events resulted in magnetically east-west horizontal spreading, with no noticeable poleward motion. Striations observed in the PERIQUITO DOS experiment separate in opposite directions with relative velocities of up to 3 km/sec. These field-aligned structures appear to form in sheets of approximately constant magnetic latitude. Significant spatial variations occur on a scale of less than 200 meters. Spatial frequency power spectra across these striations have been determined at various times. Observations of the debris cloud and the fast barium streak show strong field-aligned coherency of striation fine structure, indicating a field line mapping of transverse electric fields and gradients.« less

Timing and causes of mid-Holocene mammoth extinction on St. Paul Island, Alaska

2016-01-01

Relict woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) populations survived on several small Beringian islands for thousands of years after mainland populations went extinct. Here we present multiproxy paleoenvironmental records to investigate the timing, causes, and consequences of mammoth disappearance from St. Paul Island, Alaska. Five independent indicators of extinction show that mammoths survived on St. Paul until 5,600 ± 100 y ago. Vegetation composition remained stable during the extinction window, and there is no evidence of human presence on the island before 1787 CE, suggesting that these factors were not extinction drivers. Instead, the extinction coincided with declining freshwater resources and drier climates between 7,850 and 5,600 y ago, as inferred from sedimentary magnetic susceptibility, oxygen isotopes, and diatom and cladoceran assemblages in a sediment core from a freshwater lake on the island, and stable nitrogen isotopes from mammoth remains. Contrary to other extinction models for the St. Paul mammoth population, this evidence indicates that this mammoth population died out because of the synergistic effects of shrinking island area and freshwater scarcity caused by rising sea levels and regional climate change. Degradation of water quality by intensified mammoth activity around the lake likely exacerbated the situation. The St. Paul mammoth demise is now one of the best-dated prehistoric extinctions, highlighting freshwater limitation as an overlooked extinction driver and underscoring the vulnerability of small island populations to environmental change, even in the absence of human influence.

Missed opportunities in crystallography.

Dauter, Zbigniew; Jaskolski, Mariusz

2014-09-01

Scrutinized from the perspective of time, the giants in the history of crystallography more than once missed a nearly obvious chance to make another great discovery, or went in the wrong direction. This review analyzes such missed opportunities focusing on macromolecular crystallographers (using Perutz, Pauling, Franklin as examples), although cases of particular historical (Kepler), methodological (Laue, Patterson) or structural (Pauling, Ramachandran) relevance are also described. Linus Pauling, in particular, is presented several times in different circumstances, as a man of vision, oversight, or even blindness. His example underscores the simple truth that also in science incessant creativity is inevitably connected with some probability of fault. Published 2014.

Quantum speed limits in open system dynamics.

PubMed

del Campo, A; Egusquiza, I L; Plenio, M B; Huelga, S F

2013-02-01

Bounds to the speed of evolution of a quantum system are of fundamental interest in quantum metrology, quantum chemical dynamics, and quantum computation. We derive a time-energy uncertainty relation for open quantum systems undergoing a general, completely positive, and trace preserving evolution which provides a bound to the quantum speed limit. When the evolution is of the Lindblad form, the bound is analogous to the Mandelstam-Tamm relation which applies in the unitary case, with the role of the Hamiltonian being played by the adjoint of the generator of the dynamical semigroup. The utility of the new bound is exemplified in different scenarios, ranging from the estimation of the passage time to the determination of precision limits for quantum metrology in the presence of dephasing noise.

Formation of Degenerate Band Gaps in Layered Systems

2012-01-01

In the review, peculiarities of spectra of one-dimensional photonic crystals made of anisotropic and/or magnetooptic materials are considered. The attention is focused on band gaps of a special type—the so called degenerate band gaps which are degenerate with respect to polarization. Mechanisms of formation and properties of these band gaps are analyzed. Peculiarities of spectra of photonic crystals that arise due to the linkage between band gaps are discussed. Particularly, it is shown that formation of a frozen mode is caused by linkage between Brillouin and degenerate band gaps. Also, existence of the optical Borrmann effect at the boundaries of degenerate band gaps and optical Tamm states at the frequencies of degenerate band gaps are analyzed. PMID:28817024

Molecular excited states from the SCAN functional

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Tozer, David J.; Peach, Michael J. G.

2018-06-01

The performance of the strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) meta-generalised gradient approximation exchange-correlation functional is investigated for the calculation of time-dependent density-functional theory molecular excitation energies of local, charge-transfer and Rydberg character, together with the excited ? potential energy curve in H2. The SCAN results frequently resemble those obtained using a global hybrid functional, with either a standard or increased fraction of exact orbital exchange. For local excitations, SCAN can exhibit significant triplet instability problems, resulting in imaginary triplet excitation energies for a number of cases. The Tamm-Dancoff approximation offers a simple approach to improve the situation, but the excitation energies are still significantly underestimated. Understanding the origin of these (near)-triplet instabilities may provide useful insight into future functional development.

Houston, We Have a Podcast. Episode 41 The Space Launch System Part.1

2018-04-20

Production Transcript for Ep41 The Space Launch System Part.1.mp3 Gary Jordan (Host): Houston, we have a podcast. Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center Episode 41, the Space Launch System part one. I'm Gary Jordan, and I'll be your host today. On this podcast, we bring in the experts, NASA scientists, engineers, astronauts, all to let you know the coolest information right here at NASA. So, today, we're talking about the most powerful rocket since the Saturn V moon rocket. It's called NASA's Space Launch System. So, we've got two guests from Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama here with us today to tell us a little bit about the rocket, the payloads it will carry. Don't worry. We'll define what a payload is. And then, where it's going to go. Spoiler alert, it will bring people big stuff and little stuff all farther than we've ever gone before. Wait. Why did I do that? That totally ruins the, oh wait. Never mind. It doesn't ruin anything. This is a really good topic, jam packed with information. So much information that we're going to do this in two parts. This is part one. So, with us today are David Smith and Paul Bookout. David is the Vice President for Advanced Programs at Victory Solutions in Huntsville, Alabama. He has a long career in aerospace engineering and is a Subject Matter Expert on rocket architecture and how payloads fit inside the rocket. He wrote the SLS mission planner's guide which gives payload developers a general idea of the capabilities of the rocket and some technical specifications, so they can determine how their payloads might fit inside of it. He looks after some of the big payloads. Our other guest is Dr. Paul Bookout, EM-1 Secondary Payloads Integration Manager who manages integration of five CubeSats in the giant rocket as well as the avionics that will control deployment of the 13 small satellite payloads on the first mission of SLS and Orion called Exploration Mission-1, EM-1. He spends his time managing the little payloads, not much bigger than a shoebox, that goes inside of a skyscraper-sized rocket. So, we're going to be talking about just how powerful this monster rocket is, its unique capabilities, and what it will be used for, where it is in its development, its first mission with the Orion crew vehicle, and then look ahead to the future to missions to the moon, to Mars, and throughout the solar system. So, we are go for launch with Mr. David Smith and Dr. Paul Bookout for the Space Launch System Program. T minus five, four, three, two, one, zero, and liftoff of Episode 41 of Houston, We Have a Podcast. Always wanted to do that. Feel like I just ruined it. You know what? Let's just start. [ Music ] Host: T minus five second and counting. Mark. [ Music ] Host: There she goes. Host: Houston, we have a podcast. [ Music ] Host: All right. Paul and David, thanks so much for coming on the podcast today. We talked about Orion on a few episodes so far but really haven't had the privilege to talk about he giant rocket that Orion is going to be on, the SLS. And, we have you guys here from Marshall to actually talk to us about this rocket. So, thank you very much for coming on. David Smith: Sure. David Smith: Thank you for having us. Host: Our pleasure. Host: All right. Just to sort of back up, we have Paul Bookout and David Smith, so you guys want to talk a little bit about each one, so we can identify your voices. Paul Bookout: David, go ahead. David Smith: Well, sure. I'm just an engineer. My associate Dr. Bookout is a doctor. Host: Okay. David Smith: But, we both work together on trying to find innovative ways to associate payloads with the capability of SLS which is going to be the world's largest rocket. So, I kind of look at the larger payloads, and Dr. Bookout looks at maybe some of the other kind, smaller payloads that can fit in the niches that are left over. Paul Bookout: Well, thank you Vice President David. David Smith: Yes. Paul Bookout: I appreciate you talking about introducing myself. So, what we have is secondary payloads. Again, we're just trying to understand the whole utilization of SLS since it's going to be the most powerful rocket built since the Saturn V. It's going to have a lot more capability, so we want to utilize it to its fullest. Host: Okay. So, you said there's going to be, basically, we're going to utilize the rocket to its maximum potential. We got this big rocket, and we're going to test it. But, while we test it, let's put some cool stuff on it. Paul Bookout: Exactly. Host: So, let's back up and talk about just SLS. What is SLS? What is this giant rocket that we're talking about? Paul Bookout: SLS is America's rocket. It's the next NASA's launch vehicle that's going to be able to put humans back to the moon and further out into deep space. Of course, a lot of it's built on shuttle hardware heritage. The SLS rocket's made up of the solar rocket boosters, a main core, an upper stage, and then the crew Orion spacecraft with a co-manifest payload or a primary payload. And, David will talk a little bit more about that later. So, of course, this is NASA's first exploration class launch vehicle since Saturn V, so we're going to be putting humans back to the moon, out to deep space, and eventually, you know, to Mars systems. It has a very large mass lift capability and also volume, so some of these larger probes that are satellites or probes that are going to outer planets that they'll be able to arrive at their destination in just a few years instead of maybe eight to ten years. [00:05:24] You're cutting that trip down to one or two years. So, it's a lot of savings there. Host: So, that's a really important part to kind of hone in on is just the versatility of this rocket. You're talking about a giant rocket that can take people, giant payloads, faster, farther. That's pretty much the whole summary of the SLS, right? Paul Bookout: Yes. Definitely. Host: So, what's, what does it take to be human rated? So, I guess the difference between something that's not a rocket and something that is. Paul Bookout: Of course, it goes through the whole development process, starts at the beginning. You have to have safety emission assurances involved from the very beginning. Just an overview, you have to have, like redundant systems. If something goes wrong with one system, there's another system to kick in to back up to still make the vehicle safe. There's safety reviews throughout the whole process. We do additional testing, a lot more testing than other commercial launch vehicles do just to make sure that the vehicle is safe for humans. Host: That's really the main thing, right? Paul Bookout: Yeah. [00:06:33] Host: The safety. But, then, also the redundancy because I guess redundancy is cost. Redundancy is weight. So, you have to factor that into a rocket where you can just say, "Oh, if it fails, you know, with the primary systems, it fails." But, at least the only thing we lose is this piece of hardware. And, not to say that that's not a bad thing, but. Paul Bookout: Right. Host: It's very different from human life. So, I guess, absolutely, you need to be considerate of that. Paul Bookout: Right. And, there is a tradeoff, as you was saying. Additional systems, more mass, and that's mass that is being taken away from your primary payloads. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: And lift capability, but we need that to be safe. Host: You know what? I actually always wanted to ask this question, but you said primary payloads. I get this question all the time from folks not in NASA, and it's just, we use this term all the time, but what, to you, is a payload? [00:07:22] Paul Bookout: A payload is anything that goes up on top of the rocket that's lifted into space. It can be a satellite. I can be probes. Of course, the Orion spacecraft, once it's on the rocket, it can have its own second co-manifested payload along with it. So, just anything, really, that's launched into space. Host: Does a person count as a payload. Paul Bookout: We don't like to refer to. [ Laughter ] Host: It doesn't humanize it as much, right? Paul Bookout: No, it doesn't. No. Host: So, I guess, for example, going back to that co-manifest thing, the Orion. The Orion would be the payload. That would be the primary thing that you want to bring into orbit. Paul Bookout: Correct. Host: But, then, there's something that is, something called co-manifested which means it's not the primary thing, but it's also part of the part that you want to lift the mission. Paul Bookout: Correct. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: For example, on the second generation of the SLS rocket, it will have capability of launching a co-manifest payload along with Orion, and it could be anywhere from additional probe going out into the moon, or it can be call separation bus, propulsion system that's launched. And, then, when a habitat is launched, then they can be combined and go to the moon. So, it's, allows us to build capabilities out in space, too, with co-manifested payloads. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: Along with Orion. Host: Is that one of the things you're working on? Or, you're working on, I guess, secondary payload? Paul Bookout: Yes. I'm mainly focused in on secondary payloads. Host: So, what's secondary payloads? Paul Bookout: Okay. Secondary payloads, or they call auxiliary payloads. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: They're payloads that do not drive the primary mission of the, of that launch. For example, on EM-1, we have secondary payloads on that. That's EM-1, Exploration Mission-1. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: First launch of SLS rocket. David Smith: Yeah. Paul Bookout: We have 13 payloads on that, and I'll talk a little bit more about that later. But, the primary requirements they have is for secondary payloads in general is do no harm to the vehicle and minimal impact. So, the do no harm aspect is that we have to fly safe. The whole system, deployment system and everything, is designed to be safe. Like, all the CubeSats are turned off during launch. They have to have, like, redundant systems, as in two separation switches that allow them to turn on. Because, if one fails while we're being launched, it could turn on the systems. So, we have two there. Host: Oh, okay. Paul Bookout: To back that up, to keep it safe. And then, minimal requirements, of course, if the rocket is ready to launch and the secondary payload's not ready yet, it's going to launch. Because it does not affect the primary mission of the payload, of the launch. Host: Right. Paul Bookout: Of that. Host: Well, that puts a lot of constraints on you, then, huh? Paul Bookout: Yes, yes it does. Host: Because, not only do you have to worry about these, and I guess we can kind of hone in on the CubeSats a little bit later. But, you have to worry about the CubeSats, but now you have to add something else to it. Now, you have to add these redundant systems. And then, there's no guarantee that if you're not ready, that's okay. We're going to go without you. Paul Bookout: Right. Exactly. SLS is, the first rocket's not going to be the only configuration of SLS. And, of course, SLS is Space Launch System. We, the first launch is going to be called Block 1. Then, we're going to be stepping up to Block 1B which means we're going to be adding a different upper stage. Right now, we're utilizing an existing Boeing ULA upper stage to use on this mission, mainly to save initial money so we can develop the core stage. And, once the core stage has been developed, then we can have additional funds to start developing the new upper stage or exploration upper stage. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: Okay? And, that's going to be the Block 1B configuration. And, Block 1B will have actually two configurations. It'll be a crew which was, as we talked about before, the Orion spacecraft with a co-manifested payload. The other configuration will be the Block 1B cargo where that would be your primary payloads. So, the only payload will be that major payload. Host: Okay. So, when you say "Block", you're looking at the entire rocket configuration. Paul Bookout: Correct. Host: And, Block 1 is this configuration with the ULE booster, right? Paul Bookout: Right. Host: Okay. And then, Block 1B has the NASA booster on top. Paul Bookout: Correct. Host: Instead of the ULA, but then you can do crew or cargo on that one. Paul Bookout: Exactly. Host: Whereas, EM-1 you don't, and EM-1, we can get into this later, is, you're not going to have crew on it, right? That's not part of the test. That's for one of the later missions. Paul Bookout: Correct. Host: I see. So, really, the blocks are kind of the stages of developing the rocket into its full capability of. Paul Bookout: Right. Host: Of this eventual Mars lander. That's awesome. So, now, you're using these commercial elements. You're using ULA in Block 1 and the leftover solid rocket boosters until, eventually, 1B, 1B crew, you get to Block 2. Now, you have the configuration. New boosters. You got the NASA upper stage. You got all of these configurations, and now you can go to, where can you go? David Smith: Well. Host: Is it just to Mars? David Smith: Well, you really need Block 2, ultimately, to fulfill a human settlement on the lunar surface as well. Host: Really? David Smith: You need a kind of lift capability. But, if you want to assemble an architecture, because it'll take multiple flights of a Block 2 to assemble a human architecture capable of transiting to Mars, you'll need four to five Block 2 flights at a time to assemble that stack that can go to Mars. Host: So, what's, I guess, how much more power does Block 2 provide you that, I guess, Block 1B would not? David Smith: Well, it nominally, you're talking another 25 tons or so. So, it could bring a second Orion vehicle in comparison because Orion weighs about 25 tons. So, it, really, from a lift standpoint, is maybe a fifth more powerful than the Block 1B, and it gives you that extra diameter, potentially for the payload ferrying that would allow, you know, the smaller the diameter of the ferrying, the taller a lander needs to be. And, think about a lander on the surface of the moon or Mars, if it's three or four stories, that's a lot of vertical height an astronaut has to overcome every time they're taking stuff back and forth. Host: That's right. David Smith: So, we're, the larger the diameter, the shorter can be the squatter, can be the easier it is to manipulate items on and off a lander. Whether it's on the moon or Mars. Host: Okay. Wow. So, then, you're talking about once this Block 2 configuration is done with the new solid rocket boosters, you can actually have a wider payload go on top of the rocket. David Smith: Right. Well, there's a nuclear thermal propulsion that's out there that has the potential of getting people to Mars a lot sooner. It needs a much larger diameter because it used hydrogen as a fuel. Hydrogen is very bulky because it isn't very dense. And so, if we were ever to use a new kind of propulsion that would lower the time to get to Mars, you need a Block 2 vehicle. A smaller rocket will never allow you to do nuclear thermal propulsion. Host: Okay. Let's go back to some of these other configurations. I kind of want to get a sense of the look and feel of this rocket. We sort of talked about it, but to just sort of go into detail. If I was looking at let's just say the Block 1 configuration, the one that's actually going to go for EM-1, what does that look like? How tall is it? What's the weight of it? How much power? David Smith: Right. So, roughly Block 1 and 1B are somewhat similar. Host: Okay. David Smith: They're going to be about the same height as the Saturn V. Host: Oh. David Smith: Which means it's a big rocket, but part of that's because we can't really exceed the vehicle assembly building limitations that are at the Cape. So, you want to make it as big as you can, so you can put as much fuel in it as you can. Basically, the thrust of the Block 1 vehicle which is similar to the Block 1B for the solid rocket motors is about 3.6 million pounds each. Those only fly for about two minutes. Then, you have the core engines. There's four space shuttle era type SSMEs that each have about 512,000 pounds of thrust. You multiply that by four. They operate for about eight minutes. Together, you get about a total thrust of about 8.8 million pounds which gives you an escape velocity of over 22,000 miles an hour. The core stage itself is about 2/3 the length of a football field which is pretty tremendous. One single stage of this vehicle's about 2/3 of a football stadium. And, which is around 212 feet, and the Block 1B ferrying that we talked about, the 8.4-meter diameter ferrying, could accommodate up to three school buses inside its volume. So, that's pretty incredible when you think about the size of what can be lofted in a single vehicle like that. In comparison, the Block 1 vehicle, you know, can throw 70 tons to lower earth orbit where the shuttle can only do 28 tons to low earth orbit. So, it's about three times more powerful than the shuttle. Host: Wow. So, you're talking, you're comparing it to the Saturn V in terms of its size but talking about these efficient engines. What makes, what is it about the engines that's more efficient that's giving you this extra power? David Smith: Well, they, you know, the shuttle engines were rated at 100% thrust originally, and I think they got them up to 109%. So, they actually got them to work 9% more efficiently at the end of the shuttle program. We're taking these up to 11% more thrust, and maybe even 13% more thrust. So, you're really pushing these engines to their limit, and the, it's really coupling their efficiency now at 113% thrust with the reliability of the shuttle system. Host: Unbelievable. The engine itself is called an RS25, right? Paul Bookout: Yes. Host: That's what it's called. And, these are the engines that were on the shuttle. Now, you're pretty much just putting it on the SLS, but it sounds like there's a good reason for that. It's because you've flown the shuttle so many times, improved the capability of it past its, like, total 100% thrust ratio. Now, you're going, you're going past the 100%. So, basically, is like why would we, why would we do something else? We worked so hard on this one. This one is, like, extremely efficient. Why would we, and we can make it even more efficient. That's the logic behind it? Paul Bookout: Well, right. Initially, of course, we have about, I believe, 16 space shuttle main engines or these RS25s left over from the shuttle program. So, we're utilizing the existing hardware to save cost while we're developing the core stage. You know, the first part of the SLS. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: And, as you mentioned, we are updating the engines, getting more capability out of them. So, to that point, we can do four per, so we can do about four launches, four rocket, or four engines on each launch. So, we can do about four launches with the current RS25s. Host: Okay. And, that, is that for one of the later configurations? Paul Bookout: That's correct. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: Yeah. Host: Is it the Block 2? Paul Bookout: The Block 2. Host: Block 2? Paul Bookout: Block 2 and beyond. Host: Oh, okay. I see. I see where the whole idea of staging this whole thing comes from, right? Paul Bookout: Correct. Host: You've got, you're using the leftover solid rocket boosters, and you're using this commercial upper stage. And, it's just basically getting to this point where you're going to maximize the efficiency of the rocket. Paul Bookout: Right. Host: Unbelievable. So, three school buses inside of the 1B configuration, right? That's, is it about the weight of three school buses? Is like taking three school buses to space? David Smith: No, it would be, it would be more than that. Host: More than that? David Smith: I mean, nominally, if you went to the moon, we're going to take, the Block 1B could take roughly 40 tons to lunar vicinity which is, which is pretty incredible. Host: Wow, and just in terms of not only, like, quantity, you're talking three school buses. But, also size. David Smith: Yeah, and mass. Host: Also weight. David Smith: Right. Host: You know, you got all of these, all these different components. So, I guess we can kind of focus in on now that we kind of understand the rocket and the evolution of the rocket, let's go to that first, that first test flight, EM-1. We've talked about EM-1 on the podcast before, especially from testing Orion and that. But, really haven't focused in on what is it about, what is it about EM-1 that we're testing SLS for? So, let's start with that. What are we going to test, and I guess we can kind of start with the overview of EM-1 for those who haven't listened to it before. Paul Bookout: Right. So, EM-1 is, of course, going to be the first launch of the SLS rocket. Its primary segments are, of course, solid rocket motors which are a heritage from shuttle hardware. Shuttle had four segments, where EM-1 is going to have five segment motors. Then, of course, the core stage which is heritage off the shuttle external tank but made longer for additional capability of fuel. And, we're also using the main engines from the shuttle program with updated technology and ratings to get more power out of those four rockets on there. So, that makes up the primary lift capability of the SLS rocket. On top of that, we have an interim cryogenic propulsion stage, which, or second stage, upper stage, that we're utilizing from Boeing, existing hardware for EM-1 mission. And then, of course, in addition to adaptors, then there will be the Orion spacecraft, which is the primary mission of EM-1 is to test out the SLS rocket. Then, also, to test out the Orion spacecraft with its trajectory and telemetries and communications. It's going to be on about a 25 1/2 day mission to distant retrograde orbit. That really means just go way past the moon and come back. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: You know, a 25 1/2 day trip. Of course, and, you know, we're doing all this because, again, for the safety aspects. We want to test the vehicle out and Orion spacecraft before we put humans in it. Host: Right. Paul Bookout: So, we want to make sure it's safe, make sure everything works. And, that's that safety aspect, that human rated part of a launch vehicle. Host: So, the human rated part is the Orion can go to 25.5 days, or is this going past what it's expected to possibly operate at? David Smith: I think that's a nominal timeframe for the Orion with crew. So, this is pretty much, I think, its extreme capability. Host: Yeah. David Smith: But, you know, part of it is testing just the systems period. You always, for human rating, you always want to test it far in, you know, far from what the humans will actually experience so that you have a safety factor that's sufficient for human use. Host: Oh, yeah. Because if you're going to be operating on, say, 16 day missions, you don't really want to, okay. Well, let's just test 16. Paul Bookout: Exactly. Host: You really want to go kind of further out and see, all right. Let's see how far this puppy can go. David Smith: And, I think part of this mission's objective is to bring it in at a lunar return velocity to test that heat shield. Host: Yeah. David Smith: You can't do it from low earth orbit. You got to kind of go out and bring it in fast, so. Host: So, what's the difference with EFT-1? That was one of the first test flights we did where we didn't go all the way out to the moon, but we did kind of a, this large apogee so that we can get up to, I think it was some, like 25,000 miles. Or, maybe it was a little slower than that. The difference is between EFT-1 and EM-1. David Smith: I think, I think it was very close to what they would experience in a lunar return, but it's not the actual lunar return. Host: I see. David Smith: Right, so you want to be able to stage it. You want to go out in orbit. You want to test the time that you're out in orbit. That was a very short mission, maybe five or six hours. Now, we're talking 25 days. Well, all the equipment still work when it's, you know, soaked in a cold temperature, hot temperature, all those days. And, now, you're coming in. Will it all work when it comes to the right moment. So, this really puts the pedal to the metal. Host: That's right. So, what is it? I guess the relationship between what are you guys looking at for SLS versus Orion on this particular mission, EM-1? Paul Bookout: So, for SLS, again, we want to test all the systems, make sure they're fully functional. We'll be checking out redundant systems indirectly, of course. And, communications with the vehicle, since it's the first time the vehicle's being launched. We're all, we're talking with the vehicle all the way up. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: So, we want to make sure all those ground systems are ready to support, actually, human flight mission. So, it's just not the vehicle. It's the overall architecture of everything that goes into supporting a launch that we want to verify and check out. Host: Oh, that's right. Now, we're preparing to go into fly deep space missions. So, not only is it, all right, let's test the hardware, but let's test to operational aspect. Paul Bookout: Exactly. Host: Let's test what it's going to take to actually do these missions from the broadest perspective possible. David Smith: And, that includes, even, just bringing the, you know, the pieces are being built all over the place. Host: Yeah. David Smith: And, tested all over the place. So, just bringing them together at the cape and making sure they can be integrated in a safe and timely fashion for launch. That, in itself, is a really important objective. We're talking about such a large rocket. Paul Bookout: Yeah, so this is the first time all those components going to be coming together, and there's going to be hiccups along the way. And, we just need to understand how this vehicle goes together and make sure we do it correctly. Host: So, you say the vehicle's going to be talking to you guys throughout its flight. What is it going to be telling you? What kinds of data are you really looking for that's really going to tell you that this thing is working how we're expecting it to work? David Smith: Well, remember, you're talking to payload guys, so, you know, we're more interested in seeing what the payload's going to experience. Host: Yeah. David Smith: But, think about this. When it launches on the pad, it has an incredible noise issue coming off that mobile launch platform. That's why, if you remember, they had these things called rainbirds, the big sprinklers that start spraying as soon as the engines go to try to mitigate that noise. Host: Right. David Smith: The payload is particularly sensitive to it. Obviously, the vehicle itself is sensitive to that noise as well. So, acoustic mitigation is one of the most important things at launch. Then, we have a thermal issue, right? We go up to max Q, max dynamic pressure. We have a certain heating that is, occurs on the outside of the vehicle. And, before, we got to get through all that heating before we can make sure that the crew is going to be safe, that we can take the shielding off the Orion and so forth. So, we're going to be testing all those environmental concerns as we go forward, and of course, the jettisoning of, you know, the SRBs off the core stage. Then, the ICPS in Orion off the core stage. And then, of course, then, the Orion off the ICPS. All these jettison events, and there's quite a few of them, are extremely important, and we need to test those. Each one has its associated thermal and acoustic issues. So, we're going to test each one of those as it goes forward. Paul Bookout: Since this is the first launch of SLS rocket, we don't really understand the full environments that it's going to be launched in. As David mentioned, the thermal, interior thermal, acoustic, vibration. It's the first time we're going to launch it. So, what we're also have is a lot of instrumentation on this vehicle to be able to measure the actual vibration levels and everything else. So, we can, once we go back to designing and looking at what we call safety factors, reducing those so we can have more margin on the vehicle and means that goes into more mass lift capabilities. So, we're trying to understand the overall characteristics of the vehicle itself. So, in addition, for secondary payload, or payloads in general, we can give them more of an accurate environment that they will see during launch. As in, how much vibration they'll feel, how much thermal environments that they'll see. So, when they start designing their payloads for, to run the ride on this vehicle, they can have more of an accurate environment. And, maybe not have, make it a lot more efficient design. Host: Okay. So, then, what data are you going off of now based on, you guess you haven't launched the SLS. So, what are you assuming, or where are you getting the data from? David Smith: We have, we started off with assuming, at least for the payloads, that we would provide an ELV, and expendable launch vehicle class environment. Host: Okay. David Smith: So, if you've flown on Atlas or Delta, you should expect nothing worse than that. Host: Okay. David Smith: That's our starting point. Host: Oh, okay. David Smith: Now, what Paul's going into is we're going to try to characterize is that really true? So, the first flight's important. Are we in? Are we out? What do we have to do? Is there more foam that you got to put in the payload section to mitigate the noise? That's what we're trying to figure out. But, we should be within an ELV class is what we're projecting right now. Host: Okay. So, then, I'm assuming you're going to have some actual science on board EM-1, right? Because you're testing, you're testing the structure of EM-1. You're testing the rocket. But then, you have this mission. Why not take advantage of it? Is there anything else going on the EM-1? Paul Bookout: Oh, definitely. Host: Okay, good. Paul Bookout: Yes. We have, we'll have 13 secondary payloads that we're going to be launching on EM-1. Host: Wow. Paul Bookout: That'll, that is located in the Orion stage adapter. That's the segment that connects the SLS rocket to the Orion spacecraft. So, it's a small ring about five feet high. About 18 or so feet in diameter. And, along the inner circumference of that is where we are mounting these 13 secondary payloads. Host: Oh, so I guess they have to be kind of small, right? That's not a lot of space compared to the, what's in the ferrying. Paul Bookout: Correct. So, on EM-1, we have 13 CubeSats. CubeSats are defined as a, we call a 1U, which is about ten by ten by ten-centimeter cube. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: So, what we're having on EM-1 is allowing them to go up to what we call a 6U. So, it's a CubeSat that's about the, a little bit larger than the size of a shoebox, a large shoebox. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: And, that's kind of the dimensions of these 6U CubeSats that we're having on EM-1. David Smith: Which is the most common CubeSat, really, today, right? Paul Bookout: Correct. Exactly. So, we have multiple missions that these payloads are going to be doing. So, we've got one destination is to the moon. We have Lunar Flashlight which is out of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and their primary mission is to search for ice deposits and resources on the moon using a laser. Host: Ooh. Paul Bookout: Okay. And, the second one is Lunar IceCube which is Morehead State University up in Kentucky. And, they're going to also be searching for water of all forms and volatiles on the moon using infrared spectrometer. These are some big words that I can't even define, so. [ Laughter ] LunaH-Map is from Arizona State University, and they're going to be creating high fidelity map of near surface hydrogen in craters on the moon. Lunar IR is from Lockheed Martin in Colorado, and they're going to be performing advanced infrared imagery of lunar surface. We've got one that's going to the sun facility, and it's called CuSP. It's from Southwest Research Institute here in Texas, and it's going to be measuring particles and magnetic fields of space weather between us and the sun. We have one that's going around the Earth. It's called EQUULEUS. It's a Japanese payload, and we actually have three international payloads on this mission. And, I'll touch on those others. Host: Awesome. Paul Bookout: So, again, EQUULEUS is from JAXA. It's the University of Tokyo supporting that. I mean, it's imaging the Earth's plasma sphere for a better understanding of Earth radiation environment. And also, it's going to be initially on the far side of the moon and detecting any meteor crater flashes that may impact the far side of the moon. Host: Wow. Paul Bookout: So, they'll be out there for about two months or so and just hopefully they'll be able to catch something. Some of the other missions are BioSentinel. It's from Ames Research Center, and they're going to be using baker's yeast to see the effects of radiation on actual live items, you know, live yeast. And, then, ArgoMoon, which is the European Space Agency, is built in Italy. It's going to be observing the interim cryogenic propulsion stage. That's upper stage is going to be deployed. Look at that upper stage, and then it's going to go on some additional missions. And, it's going to look at the upper stage to see what kind of effects the environment has during liftoff on the upper stage. Because, until now, we, once the upper stage is launched, we usually don't get a chance to look the conditions of that. This will give us some feedback and see what the upper stage has went through, if there's any damage or anything. Host: It sounds like these CubeSats are all over the place. Paul Bookout: Yes. Yeah. I've got a couple more here. Host: Oh, really. Paul Bookout: I haven't got to my two favorite yet. So. Host: Oh, we're standing by. Paul Bookout: Okay. Centennial Challenge. That was a challenge that NASA set up called Cube Quest, and it's to help develop communications for these smaller CubeSats. There's two challenges. One was a lunar challenge to around the lunar surface and for longevity. And, the other one was a deep space mission which was a CubeSat, as it says, going out into deep space to see how far and long and what burst rates and clarity that you can have in your signals. So, there's total prizes for everything through all the development and final missions. It's up to $5 million. Host: Wow. Paul Bookout: So, that's a lot of money. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: Spread out over those. So, you did, you asked what my two favorite payloads are. Host: Oh, yeah. Paul Bookout: Let me tell you. One of them is NEA Scout. That's developed at Marshall Spaceflight Center. What's unique about that is NEA Scout means Near Earth Asteroid. So, they're going to be going to a near earth asteroid. But, the exciting thing about it is that they're going to be using solar cell to get there for their propulsion system. So, this is the first time a solar cell will be used to, for propulsion out into deep space. There have been other missions in low earth orbit to check out the technology and feasibility of solar cells, but this is the first time going out to deep space. And, for a CubeSat that's a little bit larger than a shoebox, it will be deploying the cell that will be 40 by 40 feet. Host: Whoa. Paul Bookout: So, that's huge. Host: Wait, and a little CubeSat. Paul Bookout: In a little CubeSat. Host: And, it deploys a 40 foot. Paul Bookout: Yes. Host: Oh, wow. Paul Bookout: Yeah, so that solar cell is very thin material. Host: Yeah. It must be to fold up into, like, this ten-centimeter cube thing. Paul Bookout: Exactly. Host: So, so, the solar. Paul Bookout: You said ten centimeters. 6U CubeSat is 10 by 20 by 30. Host: Oh, because this is 6U. Paul Bookout: 6U, correct. Host: Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. So, solar sails, though, this is, it basically unfurls this 40-foot sail, and is it the one where the high-power laser that pushes it? Paul Bookout: No. Paul Bookout: That's different. Paul Bookout: This is going to ride the solar winds. Paul Bookout: Ride the solar winds. Paul Bookout: Solar particles will be pushing it along. It'll do actually a fly by the near-earth asteroid as it comes up. It'll be taking images all the way around as it passes. Host: Okay. Wow. Paul Bookout: So, and my ultimate favorite one is. Host: Yeah, we didn't get the last one. Paul Bookout: Is actually the one that I'm the Secondary Payload Integration Manager for. Host: Oh. Paul Bookout: So, it's one of my CubeSats. Host: So, it's an unbiased favorite, then. Paul Bookout: Yes. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: Yeah, still. It's called OMOTENASHI. It's another Japanese CubeSat. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: And, their mission is to land on the moon. Host: Oh. Paul Bookout: Can you imagine a small little CubeSat, you know, a little bit larger than a shoebox, land on the moon? Of course, and the big thing about it is that they're going to be using a solid rocket motor to slow down to be able to land on the moon. So, that's one of the things on EM-1 that we're offering that previous commercial launch vehicles and that don't offer propulsion systems for secondary payload to be able to utilize that. That's one thing EM-1 and SLS is allowing. So, that's a huge deal. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: For those. So, if OMOTENASHI is successful at landing on the moon, they'll be the fourth nation in the world to have actually land and do some science on the moon. Host: Wow. Paul Bookout: You know. Host: So, what kind of science? Paul Bookout: Well, because, again, they're still a small payload, so they can't get large science instruments to the moon, when they land, actually land on the moon, all that will be left is about the size of a sandwich box. Because they have to get rid of all the extra weight to be able to slow down enough to be able to land. And, they'll probably so some soil impact measurements, as in how soft vibration, shock, as it's landing on the moon. And, I, so, and they're only going to be able to do it for about 30 minutes or so. Again, because of the size, what we're limiting them to. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: They can't get the mechanics, orbital mechanics and velocities and everything. I'm sorry. Host: So, it's, it's kind of general on where you can land, then? It's just like, it's just going to land. It's not going to land in a targeted spot, I guess? Paul Bookout: Correct. They know the general vicinity where it's going to land. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: But, they can't have ultimate control, like any of the other landers that have larger systems, propulsion systems, to slow them down. So, they would be actually, once the solar motor fires, they'll still be traveling at about 60 miles an hour when they impact the moon. So, they're going to inflate these impact balloons to actually bounce, similar to what they've done on Mars, some of the Mars Rovers. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: So, it'll come and impact moon and bounce and then finally rest on the moon. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: And, do about 30 minutes of impact soil measurements. Host: Wow. How would that be, though? I'm imagining, I mean, landing at 60 miles an hour. That's, you know. Paul Bookout: Well. Host: That's not slow, but at the same time, it's the moon, right? It's. Paul Bookout: Right. Yes, but then again, you're not going directly into it. You know, you're coming in at an angle, too. Host: At an angle. Paul Bookout: So, it's not a fully impact. Host: Okay. Great. Paul Bookout: Direct impact, so. Host: So, you got all these CubeSats going around the Earth, around the upper stage, around the moon, on the moon, to deep space. Where do you deploy, how does that work? Where do you deploy everything? It's not just like you just let everything go at all. It has to be pretty controlled because each one has a very specific mission. Paul Bookout: Right. We've created what we call bus stops. Host: Oh. Paul Bookout: They're basically different aspects of the trajectory of the upper stage. So, the first bus stop is when you're in between the two radiation belts or Van Allen belts. Bus stop two is when you've passed all the radiation belts. Bus stop three is half way between the Earth and the moon. Bus stop four is the closest proximity to the moon, and bus stop five is when you're going into a heliosynchronous or sun orbit. And, that's where the upper stage will be disposed into the sun orbit. So, when a payload says, "Hey, I want to get off at 200,000 miles away from the Earth." Well, okay, where is that exactly? So, that's why we kind of created these bus stops. Host: I see. Paul Bookout: They can get off anywhere they want to, but it helps us relate to the areas where they want off. So, most of them are wanting off at stop one. About seven or eight of them. Because they need to get out and start changing their trajectory as soon as possible. Again, we're offering propulsion systems, but they're not large enough to have really change their directions further on. So, a little change at first makes a big change later. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: So, they want to get off to be able to do that, make those little changes. Most of the payloads that are going to lunar orbit, what they're wanting to do is slow down because the ICPS, you know, is launching Orion into this distant retrograde orbit. And, you know, way past the moon. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: So, it has a lot of velocity heading that way, and if the payloads don't slow down, they'll just go flying past the moon. The moon can't, doesn't have enough gravity to pull them back into an orbit. And, some of them, even though they are going to the moon, they'll actually fly past the moon, and it may take a month or so for them to come back, to slow down enough to come back and get hooked into the moon's gravity and start orbiting the moon. Host: Oh, wow. Paul Bookout: So, it's not a direct flight into the moon orbit, just because they don't have the propulsion systems large enough to be able to do that. Host: So, is it fair to say they're all going to be in a very similar orbit, or are they all going to kind of go their respective directions? Paul Bookout: They're going to do their respective ways. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: Some of them wants to do in the crater, so they're going to be going to the pole system, up to the poles to look see if there's ice up in there. And, some of them will just be doing a regular geosynchronous type of orbit. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: Type thing. Host: All right. Paul Bookout: We talked about where these, what the payloads are and where they're going to want to get off. To be able to allow them to get off, again, we have to have a deployment system where, again, some of the primary requirements for EM-1 was or SLS is to do no harm and to have minimal impact to the vehicle. Host: Yes. Paul Bookout: Well, to do that latter one, what we've come up with a system is that we will receive an energy, the avionics unit for deploying the secondary payloads will receive an energy pulse for, from Orion. Or, I'm sorry. Will receive an energy pulse from the upper stage once Orion has already left and the upper stage has gone through its disposal maneuvers. That means burning off extra fuel and everything making it safe. Right before it shuts down, it will turn on the avionics unit for deploying the secondary payloads. Then, the upper stage turns off. So, we wake up, and we've got our own internal battery system. And, each payload is inside of a dispenser, and so, the dispenser operates as the, has a spring-loaded lid. And, the payloads inside are installed by compressing the spring. So, when the, when it's time for that particular payload to be deployed, we get an energy pulse from the avionics unit sent to the dispenser to open the door. The door flings open, and then the secondary payload is pushed out by springs. So, that's how they're deployed. Host: Okay. So, like a, so, like an SLS jack in the box. [laughter] Paul Bookout: If you will. Host: That's what I'm imagining. Obviously, it's going to shoot out. Paul Bookout: We have pulled those analogies before, but I'll let you state it. Host: And then, I guess there's, you get this power pulse that's going to, I guess, be directed to whatever seven is going to be part of bus stop one, and whatever the next ones for bus stop two. Paul Bookout: Correct. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: And, they'll be deployed, if there's multiple at a particular bus stop, they'll be deployed a minute or two away from each other, after each other because we don't want to be able to deploy one and then deploy another one right behind it. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: And then, they have recontact. Host: So, I'm trying to imagine the way everything is situated in my head, and at this part of the flight when you're starting to deploy these secondary payloads, what does, what does the rocket, I guess, or what does the piece that's actually flying, what does it look like? I guess you have Orion and then there's this deployment system, and then there's, is it the upper stage behind it? Paul Bookout: Okay. So, once we've launched. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: After about two minutes, the solar rocket motors are. David Smith: Jettisoned. Paul Bookout: Jettisoned. And then, the core stage lifts the rest of the vehicle up into orbit. And, after that time, when the core stage is spent, then it'll be jettisoned. And then, you'll have your upper stage and your Orion spacecraft which of course the secondary payloads are still in part of that. And then, then, it'll go into what they call a translunar injection that's basically the upper stage will ignite and put Orion into its mission profile going past the moon. Host: So, at this point, right before it ignites, it's still in, I guess, Earth orbit, and the translunar injection gets it to the moon. Paul Bookout: Correct. Host: Okay. Paul Bookout: Okay. So, once the upper stage has spent its fuel, the Orion spacecraft will separate, okay? From the upper stage. So, it'll go through on to its mission. And then, about 30 minutes later, 20, 30 minutes later, the secondary payloads will start their deployment. Host: I see. Okay. Paul Bookout: So, Orion is well away and actually speeding faster away from the upper stage. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: The upper stage, once it goes through its disposal maneuver, is actually flying kind of, you would say, backwards, engine first, towards the moon. Host: Oh. Paul Bookout: So, the secondary payloads will be ejected out the other direction. So. Host: Okay. So, so. Paul Bookout: So, when they're deployed, the ICPS won't run back into them. Host: That's right. Paul Bookout: Okay. So, they'll be deployed in the other direction. Host: But, now, Orion is going in, it's doing its own thing. Paul Bookout: Correct. Host: Because it did its job. It delivered Orion. That's the primary payload. Now, it's off. But, the secondary payloads are still part of this upper stage. They haven't gone with Orion. They're totally separate. Paul Bookout: Correct. They have their own. Host: So, it's like, they're kind of doing, they're going. Paul Bookout: Yeah. Host: Different ways. Interesting. Paul Bookout: Yeah, they have their own mission profiles going in all different directions. Host: Okay. Okay. I don't know why that wasn't clear to me before but thank you. All right. So, I guess kind of backing up from there, you're talking about the solid rocket boosters are disposed. The core stage is disposed. Where are all these pieces going? Paul Bookout: Okay. Depending on their mission profile, all the secondary payloads are going to end of missions at different places. Some of them will be actually crashing into the moon, and that's common where the other countries and their lunar missions depositing on the moon. Some will, one or two will burn up in Earth's atmosphere as it comes back. Some of the other ones that are going out into deep space, of course, just keep going. The CuSP, which is going to solar. I'm sorry. CuSP, which is going to the sun's vicinity will just stay out there and eventually be pulled into the sun. Host: Okay. Host: So, that's all the secondary payloads. Paul Bookout: Correct. And, for each mission, each payload that's launched on U.S. rockets, they all have to have an end of mission plan. What are they going to do to end their mission, not just to be left out there as space junk. Because that's, we're having, sorry. We're starting to have a lot of problems with, as you know, there's a lot of space junk around Earth. Host: Oh, yeah. Paul Bookout: And, you don't want that same situation around other planets, too. Host: That's fair. That's fair. And, that's why, that's part of the, I mean, this is going back, but Cassini, right? That was the whole. It did its thing, and instead of just letting it be. It had a controlled entry into Saturn so that it didn't contaminate any other. Paul Bookout: Exactly. Yes. Host: Any other bodies. Yes, yes, of course. Paul Bookout: And, it doesn't matter what size you are. Host: Yeah. Paul Bookout: Even these small CubeSats have to have an end of mission. Host: Have to have an end of mission. Paul Bookout: Yes. Host: Awesome. But, I did want to go back to some of the earlier parts of the mission, right after launch. You know, you're talking about solid rocket boosters separating being. David Smith: Those go into the ocean. Host: Ocean? Okay. David Smith: Still, but they're not recovered this time. Host: Oh, okay. David Smith: You know, for shuttle, they were recovered. This time, it's too difficult. They're too large. So, they're just going to sink. Host: Okay. [00:48:19] David Smith: The external tank is, it can't go into orbit, so it's kind of lofted in such a way that it'll break up over the Indian Ocean safely. Host: Ah. David Smith: So, it's a very large tank. You know, this is much larger than the external tank of shuttle, so it's very important that it break up safely. So, that's, that's why you need the upper stage to actually bring the payload up into a circular orbit around the Earth. Otherwise, the payload would go down with the core module as well. Host: Okay. Okay. And, what about the, I guess, the upper stage. You said it's going to be doing this deployment, but then, after it deploys [inaudible]. David Smith: It's heliocentric. It goes into a sun, heliocentric disposal. Host: Sun heliocentric disposal. David Smith: So, it kind of goes away, and we should, hopefully, not see it again. Host: Okay. All right. That's a very nice summary of EM-1, and I feel like there's so much more to talk about. I kind of wanted to get into, you know, where are we now with SLS, all the history of it. So, I think we should take a break and just sort of let this one be Episode 41. We'll come back, and we'll do Episode 42 and just sort of get into the process behind building the SLS and then the journeys of where it's going to go and beyond. So, guys, thank you so much for coming on. We'll take a break. I'll see you in a few minutes. And, for everyone else, I guess we'll see you for the next episode. David Smith: All right. David Smith: Great, thank you. Look forward to it. Paul Bookout: Thank you. [ Music ] Houston, go ahead. [ Inaudible Comment ] [inaudible] for all mankind. Not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Welcome to space [echo]. Host: Hey, thanks for sticking around. So, the best places to follow development and delivery of the rocket as we test the major components and deliver it piece by piece to the Kennedy Space Center are on the social media channels on the web for the Space Launch System. So, first the website. You can go to www.nasa.gov/ guess what? SLS. That's where you can get the latest, the greatest on the Space Launch System. On Twitter, it's @nasa underscore SLS. On Facebook, it's NASASLS, that's one word. Or, this is one of the things that actually David Smith wrote. You can actually search SLS Mission Planner's Guide. And, it's a document that you can find on the web. You can download it, and it actually has a lot of great information on just the whole scope of the Space Launch System. We're really looking forward to the first launch of SLS and Orion from the Kennedy in a couple years. Sounds like we're well on our way to the pad, and we'll be launching astronauts back to the moon in just a few short years. If you have questions on SLS and its development, use the hashtag asknasa on your favorite platform. Just go to the Johnson accounts. Those are the ones we look at. The NASA Johnson Space Center accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You can send an idea or a question, and we'll make sure to mention it's for, or just make sure to mention it's for Houston, We Have a Podcast, and we'll bring it up in a later episode. Or, maybe address it in an entire episode. The whole episode will be dedicated to the question. Who knows? So, this podcast was recorded on March 20, 2018. Thanks to Alex Perryman, Rachel Craft, Laura Reshawn [assumed spelling], Kelly Humphries, Pat Ryan, Tyler Martin, Bev Perry, and all the folks at the Marshall Spaceflight Center for coming on to help to put this together. Thanks again to Dr. Paul Bookout and Mr. David Smith for coming on the show. We'll be back next week with part two.

Automated hydroponics nutrition plants systems using arduino uno microcontroller based on android

2018-03-01

Technological developments today make the combination of science is very common, including in Computer Science and Agriculture to make both of science need each other. This paper aims to develop a control tool for the flow of nutrients of hydroponic plants automatically using Arduino microcontroller and controlled by smartphone. We use an Arduino Uno microcontroller to automatically control the flow of nutrient solution with logic if else. The microcontroller can also send data of fluid level (solution) and temperature around the plant to smartphone android of the owner of the hydroponics plant. The height of the nutrient solution (water) is detected by the Ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04 and the temperature is detected by the temperature sensor LM35. Data from the sensor will forward into Arduino Uno and displayed in liquid crystal display (LCD) then via wireless fidelity (WIFI) ESP8266 module will transmit the height of the nutrient solution and the temperature around of the plants to Android smartphone.

Examining the potential exploitation of UNOS policies.

Zink, Sheldon; Wertlieb, Stacey; Catalano, John; Marwin, Victor

2005-01-01

The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) waiting list was designed as a just and equitable system through which the limited number of organs is allocated to the millions of Americans in need of a transplant. People have trusted the system because of the belief that everyone on the list has an equal opportunity to receive an organ and also that allocation is blind to matters of financial standing, celebrity or political power. Recent events have revealed that certain practices and policies have the potential to be exploited. The policies addressed in this paper enable those on the list with the proper resources to gain an advantage over other less fortunate members, creating a system that benefits not the individual most in medical need, but the one with the best resources. These policies are not only unethical but threaten the balance and success of the entire UNOS system. This paper proposes one possible solution, which seeks to balance the concepts of justice and utility.

The current electricity needs is very primary, all objects including electronics require power, it encourages people not to be able to save electricity so the theft of electric power would be done. The use of ACS712 current sensor as the sensor with arduino uno would find out the power consumption continuously and prevent the theft of electricity because of the use of electricity which has been determined by PLN and the people fetl that it is not enough for every house, so the author made a tool for prevention of theft of electric power by using the arduino uno, buzzer, ACS712 current sensor, lcd, and relay then the power usage can be controlled according to the use to prevent the occurrence of theft of electricity so the use can be seen directly on the lcd 16x2and GSM modem to give information to employees of PLN so that it can reduceelectrical theft by the public.

TDX Foundation undertook this project in an effort to evaluate alternative transportation options and their application in the community of Saint Paul, Alaska an isolated island community in the Bering Sea. Both hydrogen and electric vehicle technology was evaluated for technical and economic feasibility. Hydrogen technology was found to be cost prohibitive. TDX demonstrated the implementation of various types of electric vehicles on St. Paul Island, including side-by-side all terrain vehicles, a Chevrolet Volt (sedan), and a Ford Transit Connect (small van). Results show that electric vehicles are a promising solution for transportation needs on St. Paul Island. Limited batterymore » range and high charging time requirements result in decreased usability, even on a small, isolated island. These limitations were minimized by the installation of enhanced charging stations for the car and van. In collaboration with the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), TDX was able to identify suitable technologies and demonstrate their applicability in the rural Alaskan environment. TDX and UAF partnered to engage and educate the entire community of Saint Paul – fom school children to elders – through presentation of research, findings, demonstrations, first hand operation of alternative fuel vehicles.« less

A retrospective diagnosis of epilepsy in three historical figures: St Paul, Joan of Arc and Socrates.

PubMed

Muhammed, Louwai

2013-11-01

It has been suggested that undiagnosed epilepsy profoundly influenced the lives of several key figures in history. Historical sources recounting strange voices and visions may in fact have been describing manifestations of epileptic seizures rather than more supernatural phenomena. Well-documented accounts of such experiences exist for three individuals in particular: Socrates, St Paul and Joan of Arc. The great philosopher Socrates described a 'daimonion' that would visit him throughout his life. This daimonion may have represented recurrent simple partial seizures, while the peculiar periods of motionlessness for which Socrates was well known may have been the result of co-existing complex partial seizures. St Paul's religious conversion on the Road to Damascus may have followed a temporal lobe seizure which would account for the lights, voices, blindness and even the religious ecstasy he described. Finally, Joan of Arc gave a detailed narrative on the voices she heard from childhood during her Trial of Condemnation. Her auditory hallucinations appear to follow sudden acoustic stimuli in a way reminiscent of idiopathic partial epilepsy with auditory features. By analysing passages from historical texts, it is possible to argue that Socrates, St Paul and Joan of Arc each had epilepsy.

Big Data, Predictive Analytics, and Quality Improvement in Kidney Transplantation: A Proof of Concept.

Srinivas, T R; Taber, D J; Su, Z; Zhang, J; Mour, G; Northrup, D; Tripathi, A; Marsden, J E; Moran, W P; Mauldin, P D

2017-03-01

We sought proof of concept of a Big Data Solution incorporating longitudinal structured and unstructured patient-level data from electronic health records (EHR) to predict graft loss (GL) and mortality. For a quality improvement initiative, GL and mortality prediction models were constructed using baseline and follow-up data (0-90 days posttransplant; structured and unstructured for 1-year models; data up to 1 year for 3-year models) on adult solitary kidney transplant recipients transplanted during 2007-2015 as follows: Model 1: United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) data; Model 2: UNOS & Transplant Database (Tx Database) data; Model 3: UNOS, Tx Database & EHR comorbidity data; and Model 4: UNOS, Tx Database, EHR data, Posttransplant trajectory data, and unstructured data. A 10% 3-year GL rate was observed among 891 patients (2007-2015). Layering of data sources improved model performance; Model 1: area under the curve (AUC), 0.66; (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.60, 0.72); Model 2: AUC, 0.68; (95% CI: 0.61-0.74); Model 3: AUC, 0.72; (95% CI: 0.66-077); Model 4: AUC, 0.84, (95 % CI: 0.79-0.89). One-year GL (AUC, 0.87; Model 4) and 3-year mortality (AUC, 0.84; Model 4) models performed similarly. A Big Data approach significantly adds efficacy to GL and mortality prediction models and is EHR deployable to optimize outcomes. © 2016 The American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons.

[Stinging nettle root extract (Bazoton-uno) in long term treatment of benign prostatic syndrome (BPS). Results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled multicenter study after 12 months].

PubMed

Schneider, T; Rübben, H

2004-03-01

Phytotherapy of BPS has a long tradition in Germany; nevertheless, data referring to single phytotherapeutic agents are rare. We therefore performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study for 1 year with Bazoton uno (459 mg dry extract of stinging nettle roots) with 246 patients. The IPSS decreased on average from 18.7+/-0.3 to 13.0+/-0.5 with a statistically significant difference compared to placebo (18.5+/-0.3 to 13.8+/-0.5; p=0.0233). The median Q(max) increased by 3.0+/-0.4 ml/s in comparison to 2.9+/-0.4 ml/s (placebo), thus not statistically significantly different, as well as the median volume of residual urine, which changed from 35.5+/-3.4 ml before therapy to 20.0+/-2.8 ml and from 40.0+/-4.0 ml to 21.0+/-2.9 ml under placebo application. The number of adverse events (29/38) as well as urinary infections etc. (3/10 events) was smaller under Bazoton uno therapy compared to placebo. Treatment with Bazoton uno can therefore be considered a safe therapeutic option for BPS, especially for reducing irritative symptoms and BPS-associated complications due to the postulated antiphlogistic and antiproliferative effects of the stinging nettle extract. A strong increase of Q(max) or reduction of residual urine are not to be expected.

Ion-neutral-atom sympathetic cooling in a hybrid linear rf Paul and magneto-optical trap

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Goodman, D. S.; Sivarajah, I.; Wells, J. E.; Narducci, F. A.; Smith, W. W.

2012-09-01

Long-range polarization forces between ions and neutral atoms result in large elastic scattering cross sections (e.g., ˜106a.u. for Na-Na+ or Na-Ca+ at cold and ultracold temperatures). This suggests that a hybrid ion-neutral trap should offer a general means for significant sympathetic cooling of atomic or molecular ions. We present simion 7.0 simulation results concerning the advantages and limitations of sympathetic cooling within a hybrid trap apparatus consisting of a linear rf Paul trap concentric with a Na magneto-optical trap (MOT). This paper explores the impact of various heating mechanisms on the hybrid system and how parameters related to the MOT, Paul trap, number of ions, and ion species affect the efficiency of the sympathetic cooling.

Gamma ray spectroscopy with Arduino UNO

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Lavelle, C. M.

2018-05-01

We review a simple gamma ray spectrometer constructed on a solderless breadboard. The spectrometer's detector consists of a CsI(Tl) scintillator and silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and its readout is facilitated by an Arduino UNO. The system is low cost and utilizes a minimum of components while still achieving satisfactory charge linearity and noise levels. This instrument can be used in instructional laboratories to introduce both radiation detection and analog signal processing concepts. We also expect it will be of interest to those seeking to introduce gamma spectroscopy to the expanding ecosystem of Arduino hardware.

Neuroscience of water molecules: a salute to professor Linus Carl Pauling.

PubMed

Nakada, Tsutomu

2009-04-01

More than 35 years ago double Nobel laureate Linus Carl Pauling published a powerful model of the molecular mechanism of general anesthesia, generally referred to as the hydrate-microcrystal (aqueous-phase) theory. This hypothesis, based on the molecular behavior of water molecules, did not receive serious attention during Pauling's life time, when scientific tools for examining complex systems such as the brain were still in their infancy. The situation has since drastically changed, and, now, in the twenty first century, many scientific tools are available for examining different types of complex systems. The discovery of aquaporin-4, a subtype of water channel abundantly expressed in glial systems, further highlighted the concept that the dynamics of water molecules in the cerebral cortex play an important role in important physiological brain functions including consciousness and information processing.

Stable Trapping of Multielectron Helium Bubbles in a Paul Trap

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Joseph, E. M.; Vadakkumbatt, V.; Pal, A.; Ghosh, A.

2017-06-01

In a recent experiment, we have used a linear Paul trap to store and study multielectron bubbles (MEBs) in liquid helium. MEBs have a charge-to-mass ratio (between 10^{-4} and 10^{-2} C/kg) which is several orders of magnitude smaller than ions (between 10^6 and 10^8 C/kg) studied in traditional ion traps. In addition, MEBs experience significant drag force while moving through the liquid. As a result, the experimental parameters for stable trapping of MEBs, such as magnitude and frequency of the applied electric fields, are very different from those used in typical ion trap experiments. The purpose of this paper is to model the motion of MEBs inside a linear Paul trap in liquid helium, determine the range of working parameters of the trap, and compare the results with experiments.

Serum samples from 40 students with suspected infectious mononucleosis were tested for the presence of antibodies to intermediate filaments (AIFA) of the cytoskeleton. Twenty had antibodies to the Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen before their illness, and during it their sera remained negative by the Paul-Bunnell test. The other 20 patients did not have antibodies to the Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen before their illness and seroconverted during the illness. These patients (true infectious mononucleosis group) developed positive Paul-Bunnell tests. Sera from normal subjects (blood donors) were also tested for AIFA. AIFA was present in titres greater than 1/10 in 80% of the infectious mononucleosis group (mean titre 1/40-1/80), 10% of the Paul-Bunnell negative glandular fever group, and 8.5% of the normal blood donors.

Paul trapping of charged particles in aqueous solution

2011-01-01

We experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of an aqueous Paul trap using a proof-of-principle planar device. Radio frequency voltages are used to generate an alternating focusing/defocusing potential well in two orthogonal directions. Individual charged particles are dynamically confined into nanometer scale in space. Compared with conventional Paul traps working in frictionless vacuum, the aqueous environment associated with damping forces and thermally induced fluctuations (Brownian noise) exerts a fundamental influence on the underlying physics. We investigate the impact of these two effects on the confining dynamics, with the aim to reduce the rms value of the positional fluctuations. We find that themore » rms fluctuations can be modulated by adjusting the voltages and frequencies. This technique provides an alternative for the localization and control of charged particles in an aqueous environment.« less

SL3-28-009 (July-September 1973) --- A near vertical view of the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota area, as photographed from Earth orbit by one of the six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment in the Multiple Docking Adapter of the Skylab space station. A 150mm lens, with SO-356 high definition Ektachrome film, was used to take this picture. The Mississippi River flows southeasterly through this large metropolitan area. Minneapolis is on the west bank of the Mississippi. The Minnesota River makes a large bend at the southern edge of the picture then flows northeasterly to empty into the Mississippi at Minneapolis-St. Paul. The St. Croix River, which serves as a portion of the boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin, flows into the Mississippi downstream from the twin cities. A long, nearly straight, stretch of Interstate 35 leads southward from Minneapolis-St. Paul. Interstate 94 parallels the Mississippi toward the northwest. The highway and road network in the area is clearly visible. Note the numerous small lakes in the photograph. This view includes the smaller cities of Hastings, Faribault, Owatonna, Mankato, St. Peter, New Ulm and St. Cloud. The S190-A experiment is part of the Skylab Earth Resources Experiments Package.

The effect of the tracking network on long (greater than 100 km) GPS baseline estimates was estimated using various subsets of the global tracking network initiated by the first Central and South America (CASA Uno) experiment. It was found that best results could be obtained with a global tacking network consisting of three U.S. stations, two sites in the southwestern Pacific, and two sites in Europe. In comparison with smaller subsets, this global network improved the baseline repeatability, the resolution of carrier phase cycle ambiguities, and formal errors of the orbit estimates.
