  1. Department of Labor. Challenges in Ensuring Workforce Development and Worker Protection. Testimony before the Subcommittee on Human Resources, Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, House of Representatives.

    ERIC Educational Resources Information Center

    Joyner, Carlotta C.

    In Fiscal Year 1997, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has an estimated budget of $34.4 billion and is authorized 16,614 full-time-equivalent staff-years. DOL's many programs fall into two major categories: enhancing workers' skills through job training and ensuring worker protection. The DOL's work force development mission is being challenged…

  5. Capitalizing on Federal Agencies' Intentions To Protect Youth Working in Agriculture.

    PubMed

    Murphy, Dennis J

    2017-01-01

    Nearly 750,000 youth work on farms across the United States. The U.S. Department of Labor's (U.S. DOL) Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Hazardous Occupations Orders for Agriculture (HOOA) applies to approximately 37% of these youth. The HOOA regulations had not been updated since their inception in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. An attempt by U.S. DOL to update the regulations in 2011 was met with fierce opposition by the agricultural community, and the proposed updated regulations were withdrawn. One impactful outcome of these two events was a rededication by USDA and the farm community to address agricultural youth farm safety through education rather than through regulation. An agriculturally based National Steering Committee has developed consensus Belief Statements and Guiding Principles to proactively influence agricultural youth safety. In this case, USDA was clearly a 'sphere of influence' for youth agricultural safety.

  6. The U.S. Department of Labor's Tractor and Machinery Certification Program: management styles and perceptions held by community stakeholders and instructors.

    PubMed

    Jepsen, S D

    2012-07-01

    A mixed-mode, descriptive study was conducted on the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Tractor and Machinery Certification Program. Legislated by the Fair Labors Standards Act, the Hazardous Occupations Order in Agriculture (HOOA) was enacted in 1968 as a public policy measure to reduce the number of injuries to youth on farms. An educational exemption allows youth 14 and 15 years of age to work for hire after they successfully complete a training program. In the 40+ years since the legislation went into effect prescribing such training exemptions, deficiencies and variations have occurred in the quality of the educational program and the system by which agencies certify young people. To gain a better understanding of the DOL Tractor and Machinery Certification program, community stakeholders were asked to identify management practices, curriculum resources, and perceptions of the DOL program. The study design used qualitative data from 49 agricultural representatives participating in regional focus groups and quantitative data from 330 community instructors responding to an electronic-formatted questionnaire (representing a 70.7% response rate) in an effort to answer the question: "What is the current status of the DOL Tractor and Machinery Certification program in the United States?" The findings revealed that 55.2% of the instructors taught a qualifying DOL program. Of these, the certification was administered through an Extension or 4-H program (68.7%), an agricultural education program (24.7%), or as a combination of Extension and agricultural education (6.0%). Course instructors believed the training was beneficial to students and had opportunity to attract more students than currently enrolled These instructors placed a higher value on standardized teaching materials than on standardized testing procedures; they also supported the need for additional teaching aids, which included hands-on activities, videotapes, student workbooks, and DVDs. Study participants did not believe the program should be offered in its entirety as a self-study program but suggested that portions of the training could be offered in that manner The local instructors identified four primary issues that would increase the effectiveness of the DOL Tractor and Machinery Certification program: community awareness, employer support, access to teaching resources, and enforcement of the legislation.

  7. Recycling of dolichyl monophosphate to the cytoplasmic leaflet of the endoplasmic reticulum after the cleavage of dolichyl pyrophosphate on the lumenal monolayer.

    PubMed

    Rush, Jeffrey S; Gao, Ningguo; Lehrman, Mark A; Waechter, Charles J

    2008-02-15

    During protein N-glycosylation, dolichyl pyrophosphate (Dol-P-P) is discharged in the lumenal monolayer of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Dol-P-P is then cleaved to Dol-P by Dol-P-P phosphatase (DPPase). Studies with the yeast mutant cwh8Delta, lacking DPPase activity, indicate that recycling of Dol-P produced by DPPase contributes significantly to the pool of Dol-P utilized for lipid intermediate biosynthesis on the cytoplasmic leaflet. Whether Dol-P formed in the lumen diffuses directly back to the cytoplasmic leaflet or is first dephosphorylated to dolichol has not been determined. Incubation of sealed ER vesicles from calf brain with acetyl-Asn-Tyr-Thr-NH(2), an N-glycosylatable peptide, to generate Dol-P-P in the lumenal monolayer produced corresponding increases in the rates of Man-P-Dol, Glc-P-Dol, and GlcNAc-P-P-Dol synthesis in the absence of CTP. No changes in dolichol kinase activity were observed. When streptolysin-O permeabilized CHO cells were incubated with an acceptor peptide, N-glycopeptide synthesis, requiring multiple cycles of the dolichol pathway, occurred in the absence of CTP. The results obtained with sealed microsomes and CHO cells indicate that Dol-P, formed from Dol-P-P, returns to the cytoplasmic leaflet where it can be reutilized for lipid intermediate biosynthesis, and dolichol kinase is not required for recycling. It is possible that the flip-flopping of the carrier lipid is mediated by a flippase, which would provide a mechanism for the recycling of Dol-P derived from Man-P-Dol-mediated reactions in N-, O-, and C-mannosylation of proteins, GPI anchor assembly, and the three Glc-P-Dol-mediated reactions in Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-P-P-Dol (DLO) biosynthesis.

  8. Adolescent occupational fatalities in North Carolina (1990-2008): an investigation of child labor and OSHA violations and enforcement.

    PubMed

    Rauscher, Kimberly; Runyan, Carol

    2012-01-01

    This study investigated adolescent worker fatalities involving violations of the child labor laws and/or Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, as well as the enforcement activity involved in each case. Medical examiner records were used to identify work-related deaths among adolescents ages 11-17 between 1990 and 2008 and child labor violations. Investigations from state and federal Departments of Labor (DOL) were used to determine inspection activity, identify OSHA violations, and confirm child labor violations. Fifty-two percent of cases involved one or more child labor violations. Nine cases were investigated by either the U.S. or North Carolina DOL; among them, four had child labor violations. Eleven cases were investigated by the North Carolina DOL and all involved OSHA violations. Significant child labor and OSHA violations exist in adolescent worker fatalities in North Carolina, and gaps exist in enforcement at both the federal and state level, signaling needed improvements in the protection of adolescent workers.

    Patel, Ravi M; Zimmerman, Kanecia; Carlton, David P; Clark, Reese; Benjamin, Daniel K; Smith, P Brian

    2017-11-01

    To test the hypothesis that early caffeine treatment on the day of birth, compared with later treatment in very low birth weight (VLBW, <1500 g) infants receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, is associated with a decreased risk of CPAP failure in the first week of life. Multicenter, observational cohort study in 366 US neonatal intensive care units. We evaluated inborn, VLBW infants discharged from 2000 to 2014, who received only CPAP therapy without surfactant treatment on day of life (DOL) 0, had a 5-minute Apgar ≥3, and received caffeine in the first week of life. We used multivariable conditional logistic regression to compare the risk of CPAP failure, defined as invasive mechanical ventilation or surfactant therapy on DOL 1-6, by timing of caffeine treatment as either early (initiation on DOL 0) or routine (initiation on DOL 1-6). We identified 11 133 infants; 4528 (41%) received early caffeine and 6605 (59%) received routine caffeine. Median gestational age was lower in the early caffeine group, 29 weeks (25th, 75th percentiles; 28, 30) vs the routine caffeine group, 30 weeks (29, 31); P < 0.001. The incidence of CPAP failure on DOL 1-6 was similar between the early and routine caffeine groups: 22% vs 21%; adjusted OR = 1.05 (95% CI: 0.93, 1.18). Early caffeine treatment on the day of birth was not associated with a decreased risk of CPAP failure in the first week of life for VLBW infants initially treated with CPAP.

  20. Demonstration Assessment of Light-Emitting Diode Parking Structure Lighting at U.S. Department of Labor Headquarters

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

    Kinzey, Bruce R.; Myer, Michael

    2013-03-01

    This report documents a solid-state lighting (SSL) technology demonstration at the parking structure of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Headquarters in Washington, DC, in which light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires were substituted for the incumbent high-pressure sodium (HPS) luminaires and evaluated for relative light quantity and performance. The demonstration results show energy savings of 52% from the initial conversion of HPS to the LED product. These savings were increased to 88% by using occupancy sensor controls that were ultimately set to reduce power to 10% of high state operation after a time delay of 2.5 minutes. Because of the relativelymore » high cost of the LED luminaires at their time of purchase for this project (2010), the simple payback periods were 6.5 years and 4.9 years for retrofit and new construction scenarios, respectively. Staff at DOL Headquarters reported high satisfaction with the operation of the LED product.« less

  1. Sequence identity and antigenic cross-reactivity of white face hornet venom allergen, also a hyaluronidase, with other proteins.

    PubMed

    Lu, G; Kochoumian, L; King, T P

    1995-03-03

    White face hornet (Dolichovespula maculata) venom has three known protein allergens which induce IgE response in susceptible people. They are antigen 5, phospholipase A1, and hyaluronidase, also known as Dol m 5, 1, and 2, respectively. We have cloned Dol m 2, a protein of 331 residues. When expressed in bacteria, a mixture of recombinant Dol m 2 and its fragments was obtained. The fragments were apparently generated by proteolysis of a Met-Met bond at residue 122, as they were not observed for a Dol m 2 mutant with a Leu-Met bond. Dol m 2 has 56% sequence identity with the honey bee venom allergen hyaluronidase and 27% identity with PH-20, a human sperm protein with hyaluronidase activity. A common feature of hornet venom allergens is their sequence identity with other proteins in our environment. We showed previously the sequence identity of Dol m 5 with a plant protein and a mammalian testis protein and of Dol m 1 with mammalian lipases. In BALB/c mice, Dol m 2 and bee hyaluronidase showed cross-reactivity at both antibody and T cell levels. These findings are relevant to some patients' multiple sensitivity to hornet and bee stings.

    Right ventricular (RV) failure (RVF) is a vexing problem facing patients with various disease processes and carries a high mortality. RVF is a poorly understood phenomenon with limited treatment options. In mammalian fetal circulation, the right ventricle is the systemic ventricle. In neonates, however, the left ventricle assumes that role and gradually thickens compared with the right ventricle. This process, known as right ventricular involution (RVI), is poorly understood. We sought to define the time course and identify mechanisms involved in RVI. Wild-type mice were bred and sacrificed on day of life (DOL) 1, 4, 8, 16, and 30 to evaluate left ventricular (LV) and RV wall thickness and apoptosis. A terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase nick-end labeling assay and RNA sequencing were performed to measure changes during RVI. Morphometric analysis demonstrated the changes in RV and LV wall thickness occurring between DOL 1 and DOL 16 (RV:LV, 0.53:0.44; P = .03). In addition, apoptosis was most active early, with the highest percentage of apoptotic cells on DOL 1 (1.0%) and a significant decrease by DOL 30 (0.23%) (P = .02). Similarly, expression of the proapoptotic genes BCL2l11 and Pawr were increased at DOL 1, and the antiapoptotic genes Nol3 and Naip2 were significantly increased at DOL 30. RVI is a misnomer, but significant changes occur early (by DOL 16) in neonatal mouse hearts. Apoptosis plays a role in RVI, but whether manipulation of apoptotic pathways can prevent or reverse RVI is unknown and warrants further investigation.

  9. Implications of a new case law on the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.

    Shah, Ajit

    2010-10-01

    The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS), introduced into the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA), were implemented in April 2009. Recent case law established several principles: the Mental Health Act (MHA) has primacy over the MCA and it is not appropriate for professionals to pick and choose which Act to use; the eligibility assessors for DOLS need to consider whether a hospital would detain the patient under the MHA. The eligibility assessors for DOLS need to apply a 'but for' test, whereby consideration would need to be given to the need for detention in hospital if it were not for the physical illness, and if the only reason for detention in hospital was the need for treatment of the physical disorder then detention under DOLS would be appropriate. This judgement clarifies that individuals with mental disorders who only require treatment in hospital for physical disorders should be detained under DOLS. The implications of this judgement are discussed in this paper.

  10. Examining extrinsic factors that influence product acceptance: a review.

    Drivers of liking (DOL) studies are useful for product development to formulate acceptable products; however, DOL alone are insufficient for understanding why a product is purchased and repurchased, which is ultimately the indication of a successful product. Ultimately sensory attributes drive product success (that is, repeat and continued purchase). However, ignoring the importance of extrinsic factors may neglect the vital product attributes responsible for the initial purchase, which may in turn, affect repeat purchase. The perception of sensory attributes assessed by DOL is mitigated by external perceptions of quality. If the sensory attributes do not deliver based upon the quality cues, the product will not be acceptable. Four key extrinsic factors that affect DOL are the perceived satiety, brand and labeling, price, and the emotional impact to decision making. In order to more thoroughly understand what the DOL for a product is, these 4 product cues should be considered in conjunction with sensory attribute perception to gain a holistic understanding of product acceptance. © 2015 Institute of Food Technologists®

  11. Purification and characterization of a polyisoprenyl phosphate phosphatase from pig brain. Possible dual specificity.

    PubMed

    Frank, D W; Waechter, C J

    1998-05-08

    Microsomal fractions from pig and calf brain catalyze the enzymatic dephosphorylation of endogenous and exogenous dolichyl monophosphate (Dol-P) (Sumbilla, C. A., and Waechter, C. J. (1985) Methods Enzymol. 111, 471-482). The Dol-P phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.51) has been solubilized by extracting pig brain microsomes with the nonionic detergent Nonidet P-40 and purified approximately 1,107-fold by a combination of anion exchange chromatography, polyethylene glycol fractionation, dye-ligand chromatography, and wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography. Treatment of the enzyme with neuraminidase prevented binding to wheat germ agglutinin-Sepharose, indicating the presence of one or more N-acetylneuraminyl residues per molecule of enzyme. When the highly purified polyisoprenyl phosphate phosphatase was analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a major 33-kDa polypeptide was observed. Enzymatic dephosphorylation of Dol-P by the purified phosphatase was 1) optimal at pH 7; 2) potently inhibited by F-, orthovanadate, and Zn2+ > Co2+ > Mn2+ but unaffected by Mg2+; 3) exhibited an approximate Km for C95-Dol-P of 45 microM; and 4) was sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide, phenylglyoxal, and diethylpyrocarbonate. The pig brain phosphatase did not dephosphorylate glucose 6-phosphate, mannose 6-phosphate, 5'-AMP, or p-nitrophenylphosphate, but it dephosphorylated dioleoyl-phosphatidic acid at initial rates similar to those determined for Dol-P. Based on the virtually identical sensitivity of Dol-P and phosphatidic acid dephosphorylation by the highly purified enzyme to N-ethylmaleimide, F-, phenylglyoxal, and diethylpyrocarbonate, both substrates appear to be hydrolyzed by a single enzyme with an apparent dual specificity. This is the first report of the purification of a neutral Dol-P phosphatase from mammalian tissues. Although the enzyme is Mg2+-independent and capable of dephosphorylating Dol-P and PA, several enzymological properties distinguish this lipid phosphomonoesterase from PAP2.

  12. Geochemistry of the 2012-2013 Tolbachik Fissure eruption (Kamchatka, Russia)

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    2014-05-01

    From November 27th, 2012, until the beginning of September 2013, a fissure eruption at the southern slope of Ploskiy Tolbachik volcano, Kamchatka, produced more than 0.52 km3 of lava (Dvigalo et al., 2014) and covered the area about 36 km2. The eruption was named as "The Institute of Volcanology and Seismology 50th Anniversary Fissure Tolbachik Eruption" (FTE-50). This is a manifestation of the ongoing high activity in Tolbachinskiy Dol (monogenetic zone around Ploskiy Tolbachik stratovolcano), which already produced in Holocene a lava field, covering more than 900 km2. FTE-50 lasted 9 months and exhibited some peculiar features, allowing us to distinguish it as a unique for Tolbachinskiy Dol: seismic activity only in the low energy class during 5 month prior to eruption (Kugaenko et al., 2013), the unusually high discharge rate at the beginning of the eruption (about 400 m3/sec), specific geochemical composition of the erupted lava. The eruption started from two vents, named after eminent Russian volcanologists as Menyailov (upper) and Naboko (lower) vents, and after three days all activity concentrated in the lower (Naboko) vent. All products of FTE-50 are richer in alkalis and TiO2 than previously studied lavas of Tolbachinskiy Dol. After the drastic change in composition at the beginning of the eruption, associated with the shift of the eruption center from the Menyailov to Naboko vent, when silica content dropped up to 2 wt.%, the composition remained practically constant until at least May 2013. Lavas of the Menyailov Vent are more acid than any of the earlier erupted rocks of the monogenetic zone (SiO2 up to 55.35 wt.%). Lavas of the Naboko Vent, at silica content close to the Southern Vent of the Great Fissure Tolbachik Eruption (1975-76) and other alumina-rich basaltic andesites of the Dol (52.5 wt.% in average in Naboko vent lavas vs. 51.8 wt.% in high-Al lavas from Tolb.Dol), have lowered concentrations of Al2O3 (16.3 wt.% vs. 17.1 wt/%), CaO (7.5 wt.% vs. 9 wt.%), MgO (4.1 wt.% vs. 5.5 wt.%). Trace elements distribution in the FTE-50 lavas allows us to suppose that they are genetically connected to the sources of the Southern Vent of GFTE and other high-Al basalts. FTE-50 products are also similar to some of the high-K rocks of Ploskie Sopki massif (Churikova, 1993) and to the underlying Studyonaya river plateau basaltic andesites (unpublished own data) erupted 262 Ka ago (Calkins et al., 2004), and fit their evolution trends, but differ from them by several elements, most prominently by higher Ti content. The basaltic trachyandesites of FTE-50 have higher REE, Y, Nb, Hf, Zr, Ta, Ti than all previously studied GFTE rocks; Nb, Ta, Ti in them are also higher than in high-K volcanic rocks of Ploskie Sopki massif.

    The cooperation of the mevalonate (MVA) and methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathways, operating in parallel in plants to generate isoprenoid precursors, has been studied extensively. Elucidation of the isoprenoid metabolic pathways is indispensable for the rational design of plant and microbial systems for the production of industrially valuable terpenoids. Here, we describe a new method, based on numerical modeling of mass spectra of metabolically labeled dolichols (Dols), designed to quantitatively follow the cooperation of MVA and MEP reprogrammed upon osmotic stress (sorbitol treatment) in Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana ). The contribution of the MEP pathway increased significantly (reaching 100%) exclusively for the dominating Dols, while for long-chain Dols, the relative input of the MEP and MVA pathways remained unchanged, suggesting divergent sites of synthesis for dominating and long-chain Dols. The analysis of numerically modeled Dol mass spectra is a novel method to follow modulation of the concomitant activity of isoprenoid-generating pathways in plant cells; additionally, it suggests an exchange of isoprenoid intermediates between plastids and peroxisomes. © 2017 American Society of Plant Biologists.

    To derive job condition scales for future studies of the effects of job conditions on soldier health and job functioning across Army Military Occupation Specialties (MOSs) and Areas of Concentration (AOCs) using Department of Labor (DoL) Occupational Information Network (O*NET) ratings. A consolidated administrative dataset was created for the "Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers" (Army STARRS) containing all soldiers on active duty between 2004 and 2009. A crosswalk between civilian occupations and MOS/AOCs (created by DoL and the Defense Manpower Data Center) was augmented to assign scores on all 246 O*NET dimensions to each soldier in the dataset. Principal components analysis was used to summarize these dimensions. Three correlated components explained the majority of O*NET dimension variance: "physical demands" (20.9% of variance), "interpersonal complexity" (17.5%), and "substantive complexity" (15.0%). Although broadly consistent with civilian studies, several discrepancies were found with civilian results reflecting potentially important differences in the structure of job conditions in the Army versus the civilian labor force. Principal components scores for these scales provide a parsimonious characterization of key job conditions that can be used in future studies of the effects of MOS/AOC job conditions on diverse outcomes.

To determine whether kangaroo care provides sustainable pain relief beyond the period of skin-to-skin holding. Preterm infants (n = 38) born at 27-30 weeks gestational age were randomized to either the KC or the SC group and received the allocated intervention starting on day of life (DOL) five and continuing for five days. Salivary cortisol was collected on DOL five and again on DOL ten. Differences were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and t tests. Pain during nasal suctioning over five days was assessed using the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP). 1. Adequate saliva samples for salivary cortisol were collected for 13 KC infants and 11 SC infants. There was no main effect of group (p = 0.49), but there was a significant main effect of age (DOL five versus DOL ten), with salivary cortisol levels decreasing in both groups (p = 0.02). 2. Pain scores for both groups (n = 38) indicted mild to moderate pain during suctioning, with no significant difference in pain scores between groups. 1. KC did not affect salivary cortisol levels in preterm neonates, but levels in both the KC and SC groups decreased over time from DOL five to ten. Salivary cortisol may vary with age of infant. 2. Infants experience pain during routine suctioning and may require pain management.

    1985-01-01

    Contact metamorphism of Paleozoic carbonate-rich sediments by the Boulder Batholith near Silver Star, Montana has resulted in the formation of the following six metamorphic zones: (1) calcite (cc) - dolomite (dol) - quartz (q) - phlogopite (phl) +/- kspar (ksp); (b) cc - dol - tremolite (tr) - q - ksp; (c) cc - dol - tr - diopside (di) - phl; (d) cc - dol - di - forsterite (fo) - phl; (e) cc - dol - fo, and cc - di - fo; and (f) cc - fo - periclase +/- dol. The presence of periclase in themore » highest zone indicates that these rocks crystallized in the presence of a water-rich fluid. Calculations of reaction progress indicate that between zone e and zone f, 4.5 rock-volumes of water had to be introduced. Comparison of the aureole at Silver Star with other contact aureoles studied around the Boulder Batholith shows a distinct correlation between the width of the aureole and the inferred fluid flux. The Boulder and Marysville aureoles are internally buffered throughout and have a width (measured to the tremolite-in isograd) of up to 1.5 km, while the Black Butte aureole, which has largely external control of the fluid, has a width of approximately 80 meters. Silver Star, which is intermediate in behavior, has an aureole width of approximately 250 meters. The indicates that in environments of low fluid flux heat is transported largely by conduction, while in environments of low fluid flux most of the heat is transported upward by convective flow, resulting in correspondingly narrower aureoles.« less

  1. Characterization of dolichol and dolichyl phosphate phosphatase from soya beans (Glycine max).

    Ravi, K; Rip, J W; Carroll, K K

    1983-01-01

    A series of polyprenols, ranging in length from 15 to 22 isoprene units, has been isolated from soya beans (Glycine max) and purified by high-pressure liquid chromatography. N.m.r., i.r. and mass spectra of the compounds indicated that they are alpha-saturated polyprenols of the dolichol type. The amount present in dry seeds was about 9 mg/100 g, whereas dolichyl phosphate (Dol-P) was present only in trace amounts. Dol-P phosphatase activity was detected in the microsomal fraction of 5-day-old germinating soya-bean cotyledons. The Dol-P phosphatase activity was linear with respect to time and protein concentration and exhibited a broad pH optimum (pH 7-9). Triton X-100 was necessary for significant enzyme activity. Enzyme activity was slightly enhanced by EDTA, whereas dithiothreitol was without effect. An apparent Km of 5 microM was determined for Dol-P. Bivalent metal ions were not required for enzyme activity. A number of phosphorylated compounds tested as enzyme substrates (including a number of nucleoside phosphates, glucose 6-phosphate, sodium beta-glycerophosphate and Na4P2O7) did not compete with [1-3H]Dol-P as substrate. A number of phospholipids were also tested for their ability to act as Dol-P phosphatase substrates. At 1 mM concentration, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidic acid and lysophosphatidic acid each inhibited enzymic activity. However, at 0.1 mM concentration, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were slightly stimulatory, whereas phosphatidic acid and lysophosphatidic acid were still inhibitory. Phosphatidic acid showed competitive inhibition. PMID:6311165

    Glycosylation-deficient Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines can be used to expand our understanding of N-glycosylation pathways and to study Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation, diseases caused by defects in the synthesis of N-glycans. The mammalian N-glycosylation pathway involves the step-wise assembly of sugars onto a dolichol phosphate (P-Dol) carrier, forming a lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO), followed by the transfer of the completed oligosaccharide onto the protein of interest. In order to better understand how deficiencies in this pathway affect the availability of the completed LLO donor for use in N-glycosylation, we used a non-radioactive, HPLC-based assay to examine the intermediates inmore » the LLO synthesis pathway for CHO-K1 cells and for three different glycosylation-deficient CHO cell lines. B4-2-1 cells, which have a mutation in the dolichol phosphate-mannose synthase (DPM2) gene, accumulated LLO with the structure Man{sub 5}GlcNAc{sub 2}-P-P-Dol, while MI8-5 cells, which lack glucosyltransferase I (ALG6) activity, accumulated Man{sub 9}GlcNAc{sub 2}-P-P-Dol. CHO-K1 and MI5-4 cells both produced primarily the complete LLO, Glc{sub 3}Man{sub 9}GlcNAc{sub 2}-P-P-Dol, though the relative quantity was lower in MI5-4. MI5-4 cells have reduced hexokinase activity which could affect the availability of many of the substrates required for LLO synthesis and, consequently, impair production of the final LLO donor. Increasing hexokinase activity by overexpressing hexokinase II in MI5-4 caused a decrease in the relative quantities of the incomplete LLO intermediates from Man{sub 5}GlcNAc{sub 2}-PP-Dol through Glc{sub 1}Man{sub 9}GlcNAc{sub 2}-PP-Dol, and an increase in the relative quantity of the final LLO donor, Glc{sub 3}Man{sub 9}GlcNAc{sub 2}-P-P-Dol. This study suggests that metabolic engineering may be a useful strategy for improving LLO availability for use in N-glycosylation.« less

  5. Development of a Climatology of Vertically Complete Wind Profiles from Doppler Radar Wind Profiler Systems

    NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

    Barbre, Robert E., Jr.

    2015-01-01

    This paper describes in detail the QC and splicing methodology for KSC's 50- and 915-MHz DRWP measurements that generates an extensive archive of vertically complete profiles from 0.20-18.45 km. The concurrent POR from each archive extends from April 2000 to December 2009. MSFC NE applies separate but similar QC processes to each of the 50- and 915-MHz DRWP archives. DRWP literature and data examination provide the basis for developing and applying the automated and manual QC processes on both archives. Depending on the month, the QC'ed 50- and 915-MHz DRWP archives retain 52-65% and 16-30% of the possible data, respectively. The 50- and 915-MHz DRWP QC archives retain 84-91% and 85-95%, respectively, of all the available data provided that data exist in the non- QC'ed archives. Next, MSFC NE applies an algorithm to splice concurrent measurements from both DRWP sources. Last, MSFC NE generates a composite profile from the (up to) five available spliced profiles to effectively characterize boundary layer winds and to utilize all possible 915-MHz DRWP measurements at each timestamp. During a given month, roughly 23,000-32,000 complete profiles exist from 0.25-18.45 km from the composite profiles' archive, and approximately 5,000- 27,000 complete profiles exist from an archive utilizing an individual 915-MHz DRWP. One can extract a variety of profile combinations (pairs, triplets, etc.) from this sample for a given application. The sample of vertically complete DRWP wind measurements not only gives launch vehicle customers greater confidence in loads and trajectory assessments versus using balloon output, but also provides flexibility to simulate different DOL situations across applicable altitudes. In addition to increasing sample size and providing more flexibility for DOL simulations in the vehicle design phase, the spliced DRWP database provides any upcoming launch vehicle program with the capability to utilize DRWP profiles on DOL to compute vehicle steering commands, provided the program applies the procedures that this report describes to new DRWP data on DOL. Decker et al. (2015) details how SLS is proposing to use DRWP data and splicing techniques on DOL. Although automation could enhance the current DOL 50-MHz DRWP QC process and could streamline any future DOL 915-MHz DRWP QC and splicing process, the DOL community would still require manual intervention to ensure that the vehicle only uses valid profiles. If a program desires to use high spatial resolution profiles, then the algorithm could randomly add high-frequency components to the DRWP profiles. The spliced DRWP database provides lots of flexibility in how one performs DOL simulations, and the algorithms that this report provides will assist the aerospace and atmospheric communities that are interested in utilizing the DRWP.

  2. Calcium Solubility In Zeolite Synthetic-Apatite Mixtures

    NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

    Beiersdorfer, R.; Ming, D. W.

    1999-01-01

    Life support systems at a lunar or martian outpost will require the ability to produce food growing in 1) treated lunar or martian regolith; 2) a synthetic soil, or 3) some combination of both. Zeoponic soil, composed of NH4 (-) and K-exchanged clinoptilolite (Cp) and synthetic apatite (Ap), can provide slow-release fertilization via dissolution and ion-exchange. Equilibrium studies indicate that KNH4, P, and Mg are available to plants at sufficient levels, however, Ca is deficient. Ca availability can be increased by adding a second Ca-bearing mineral: calcite (Cal); dolomite (Dol); or wollastonite (Wol). Additions of Cal, Dol, and Wol systematically change the concentrations of Ca and P in solution. Cal has the greatest effect, Dol the least, and Wol is intermediate.

    Monoclonal antibodies labeled with near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores have potential use in disease detection, intraoperative imaging, and pharmacokinetic characterization of therapeutic antibodies in both the preclinical and clinical setting. Recent work has shown conjugation of NIR fluorophores to antibodies can potentially alter antibody disposition at a sufficiently high degree of labeling (DoL); however, other reports show minimal impact after labeling with NIR fluorophores. In this work, we label two clinically approved antibodies, Herceptin (trastuzumab) and Avastin (bevacizumab), with NIR dyes IRDye 800CW (800CW) or Alexa Fluor 680 (AF680), at 1.2 and 0.3 dyes/antibody and examine the impact of fluorophore conjugation on antibody plasma clearance and tissue distribution. At 0.3 DoL, AF680 conjugates exhibited similar clearance to unlabeled antibody over 17 days while 800CW conjugates diverged after 4 days, suggesting AF680 is a more suitable choice for long-term pharmacokinetic studies. At the 1.2 DoL, 800CW conjugates cleared faster than unlabeled antibodies after several hours, in agreement with other published reports. The tissue biodistribution for bevacizumab-800CW and -AF680 conjugates agreed well with literature reported biodistributions using radiolabels. However, the greater tissue autofluorescence at 680 nm resulted in limited detection above background at low (∼2 mg/kg) doses and 0.3 DoL for AF680, indicating that 800CW is more appropriate for short-term biodistribution measurements and intraoperative imaging. Overall, our work shows a DoL of 0.3 or less for non-site-specifically labeled antibodies (with a Poisson distribution) is ideal for limiting the impact of NIR fluorophores on antibody pharmacokinetics.

    The Saccharomyces cerevisiae DPM1 gene product, dolichol-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) synthase, is involved in the coupled processes of synthesis and membrane translocation of Dol-P-Man. Dol-P-Man is the lipid-linked sugar donor of the last four mannose residues that are added to the core oligosaccharide transferred to protein during N-linked glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum. We present evidence that the S. cerevisiae gene DPM1, when stably transfected into a mutant Chinese hamster ovary cell line, B4-2-1, is able to correct the glycosylation defect of the cells. Evidence for complementation includes (i) fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis of differential lectin binding to cell surface glycoproteins, (ii) restoration of Dol-P-Man synthase enzymatic activity in crude cell lysates, (iii) isolation and high-performance liquid chromatography fractionation of the lipid-linked oligosaccharides synthesized in the transfected and control cell lines, and (iv) the restoration of endoglycosidase H sensitivity to the oligosaccharides transferred to a specific glycoprotein synthesized in the DPM1 CHO transfectants. Indirect immunofluorescence with a primary antibody directed against the DPM1 protein shows a reticular staining pattern of protein localization in transfected hamster and monkey cell lines.

    Objectives To derive job condition scales for future studies of the effects of job conditions on soldier health and job functioning across Army Military Occupation Specialties (MOSs) and Areas of Concentration (AOCs) using Department of Labor (DoL) Occupational Information Network (O*NET) ratings. Methods A consolidated administrative dataset was created for the “Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers” (Army STARRS) containing all soldiers on active duty between 2004 and 2009. A crosswalk between civilian occupations and MOS/AOCs (created by DoL and the Defense Manpower Data Center) was augmented to assign scores on all 246 O*NET dimensions to each soldier in the dataset. Principal components analysis was used to summarize these dimensions. Results Three correlated components explained the majority of O*NET dimension variance: “physical demands” (20.9% of variance), “interpersonal complexity” (17.5%), and “substantive complexity” (15.0%). Although broadly consistent with civilian studies, several discrepancies were found with civilian results reflecting potentially important differences in the structure of job conditions in the Army versus the civilian labor force. Conclusions Principal components scores for these scales provide a parsimonious characterization of key job conditions that can be used in future studies of the effects of MOS/AOC job conditions on diverse outcomes.

    For employed mothers of infants, reconciliation of work demands and breastfeeding constitutes a significant challenge. The discontinuation of breastfeeding has the potential to result in negative outcomes for the mother (e.g., higher likelihood of obesity), her employer (e.g., increased absenteeism), and her infant (e.g., increased risk of infection). Given previous research findings identifying return to work as a major risk factor for breastfeeding cessation, we investigate what types of job characteristics relate to women's intentions to breastfeed shortly after giving birth and women's actual breastfeeding initiation and duration. Using job titles and job descriptors contained in a large Australian longitudinal cohort data set (N = 809), we coded job titles using the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)'s Occupational Information Network (O*NET) database and extracted job characteristics. Hazardous working conditions and job autonomy were identified as significant determinants of women's breastfeeding intentions, their initiation of breastfeeding, and ultimately their breastfeeding continuation. Hence, we recommend that human resource professionals, managers, and public health initiatives provide breastfeeding-supportive resources to women who, based on their job characteristics, are at high risk to prematurely discontinue breastfeeding to ensure these mothers have equal opportunity to reap the benefits of breastfeeding.

    To examine palliative care clinicians' level of knowledge of the law regarding the use of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS). Regional postal survey of palliative care clinicians working in hospices in the East of England, undertaken in April 2015. Clinicians' level of knowledge was assessed by their response to 7 factual questions. Data regarding self-reported levels of confidence in applying the Safeguards was collected, alongside information regarding the number of times they had used DoLS in practice. A free-text section invited additional comments from participants. There were 47 responses from 14 different organisations; a response rate of 68%. Respondents included consultants, specialty and associate specialists, registrars, nurses and social workers. Higher self-reported confidence and training in the use of DoLS was associated with higher factual knowledge. Consultants had the highest level of knowledge, training and experience. Doctors of other grades, nurses and social workers recorded less knowledge and experience and scored lower in the knowledge sections. The free-text comments revealed difficulty applying the Safeguards in practice, particularly among the consultant responses, based around several themes: insufficient guidance on how to use the Safeguards, process after death, uncertainty as to relevance to palliative care and delays in assessments. Clinicians working in palliative care have good levels of knowledge of the DoLS. Despite this concerns were raised, particularly by consultants; uncertainty as to when they should be used and the relevance of the Safeguards in clinical practice. Further guidance should be given to clinicians working in this specialty to ensure that clinical practice is both lawful and in the patients' best interests.

    To identify factors related to the postnatal increase in superior mesenteric artery blood flow velocity (SMA BFV). SMA BFV was measured in 35 infants (birth weight 1047±246 g) on day of life (DOL) 1, 3, 5, 7 10 and 14. Latent curve modeling (LCM) was used to measure the longitudinal change in BFV for each subject, and the correlation between changes in BFV and baseline values. Non-parametric correlations were calculated between BFV and variables previously reported to be related to SMA BFV. There was significant variability in SMA BFV on DOL 1, a significant increase from DOL 1-14, and significant variability in the postnatal increase. Infants with higher enteral feeding volumes had greater increases, while infants receiving positive pressure ventilation or hyperalimentation had lower increases. Several clinical factors affect the postnatal increase in SMA BFV. The use of LCM is useful in longitudinal studies of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, who are clinically and demographically heterogeneous.

    Objective The purposes of this feasibility study are to assess: (1) the potential utility of early brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia; (2) whether early MRI predicts later brain injury observed in these newborns after hypothermia is completed; and (3) whether early MRI indicators of brain injury in these newborns represent reversible changes. Patients and Methods All consecutive asphyxiated term newborns meeting the criteria for therapeutic hypothermia were enrolled prospectively. Each of them underwent 1–2 “early” MRI scans while receiving hypothermia, on day of life (DOL) 1 and DOL 2–3, and also 1–2 “late” MRI scans on DOL 8–13 and at 1 month of age. Results Thirty-seven MRI scans were obtained in twelve asphyxiated neonates treated with induced hypothermia. Four newborns did develop MRI evidence of brain injury, already visible on early MRI scans. The remaining eight newborns did not develop significant MRI evidence of brain injury on any of the MRI scans. In addition, two patients displayed unexpected findings on early MRIs, leading to early termination of hypothermia treatment. Conclusions MRI scans obtained on DOL 2–3 during hypothermia seem to predict later brain injuries in asphyxiated newborns in this feasibility study. Brain injuries identified during this early time appear to represent irreversible changes. Early MRI scans might also be useful to demonstrate unexpected findings not related to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, which could potentially be exacerbated by induced hypothermia. Additional studies with larger numbers of patients will be useful to more definitively confirm these results. PMID:20688865

    The most abundant posttranslational modification in nature is the attachment of preassembled high-mannose-type glycans, which determines the fate and localization of the modified protein and modulates the biological functions of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored and N-glycosylated proteins. In eukaryotes, all mannose residues attached to glycoproteins from the luminal side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) derive from the polyprenyl monosaccharide carrier, dolichol P-mannose (Dol-P-Man), which is flipped across the ER membrane to the lumen. We show that in plants, Dol-P-Man is synthesized when Dol-P-Man synthase1 (DPMS1), the catalytic core, interacts with two binding proteins, DPMS2 and DPMS3, that may serve as membrane anchors for DPMS1 or provide catalytic assistance. This configuration is reminiscent of that observed in mammals but is distinct from the single DPMS protein catalyzing Dol-P-Man biosynthesis in bakers’ yeast and protozoan parasites. Overexpression of DPMS1 in Arabidopsis thaliana results in disorganized stem morphology and vascular bundle arrangements, wrinkled seed coat, and constitutive ER stress response. Loss-of-function mutations and RNA interference–mediated reduction of DPMS1 expression in Arabidopsis also caused a wrinkled seed coat phenotype and most remarkably enhanced hypersensitivity to ammonium that was manifested by extensive chlorosis and a strong reduction of root growth. Collectively, these data reveal a previously unsuspected role of the prenyl-linked carrier pathway for plant development and physiology that may help integrate several aspects of candidate susceptibility genes to ammonium stress.

    Within the home health industry, per-visit pay has long been used by agencies to compensate nurses. This "fee-based" system of compensation has been subject to scrutiny by the Department of Labor (DOL), which claims that this is not an appropriate method to compensate professional nurses who would qualify as "exempt" employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Recent court decisions have disagreed with the DOL's position on the issue, but home health agencies need to be careful about employee compensation statutes at both the federal and state level so as not to open themselves up to potentially devastating penalties.

  20. Potential Unintended Consequences of a Conservative Management Strategy for Patent Ductus Arteriosus.

    2016-01-01

    A recent review supports a strategy of deferring treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the preterm neonate until at least the second week after birth. In light of previous suggestion that later initiation of treatment may be less efficacious for closing PDAs it is reasonable to question if delayed treatment may be less effective. We conducted a single center retrospective review of a neonatal intensive care unit database of infants ≤37 weeks gestation with the diagnosis of PDA and treated with indomethacin from 1999 to 2007. We determined gestational age (GA), timing of indomethacin initiation, and status of the PDA at hospital discharge. Treatment failure was defined as neonates requiring further intervention to close their PDA or those who died without echo-proven PDA closure. Of the 341 infants meeting the study criteria, 77 (23%) had defined treatment failure. The failure group had a younger median GA of 25 weeks (interquartile range [IQR], 24-26) vs. 28 weeks (IQR, 26-30) for the successful group (P < .0001). The failure group had a median treatment initiation on day of life (DOL) 4 (IQR, 1-8) compared with DOL 3 (IQR, 1-6) for those in the successful group (P = .15). Taken as a whole, infants treated after DOL 5 were significantly more likely to have treatment failure (30.1% vs. 19.3% for those treated DOL 1-5, P = .03). Our study confirms that younger GA at birth is correlated with increased likelihood of failed PDA closure. We also show a trend indicating that later initiation of treatment may decrease the chances of successfully closing a PDA. Future examination of PDA management should consider the potential unintended consequences that may accompany a delayed treatment strategy. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

  1. Sustained hyperoxia-induced NF-κB activation improves survival and preserves lung development in neonatal mice

    Oxygen toxicity contributes to the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Neonatal mice exposed to hyperoxia develop a simplified lung structure that resembles BPD. Sustained activation of the transcription factor NF-κB and increased expression of protective target genes attenuate hyperoxia-induced mortality in adults. However, the effect of enhancing hyperoxia-induced NF-κB activity on lung injury and development in neonatal animals is unknown. We performed this study to determine whether sustained NF-κB activation, mediated through IκBβ overexpression, preserves lung development in neonatal animals exposed to hyperoxia. Newborn wild-type (WT) and IκBβ-overexpressing (AKBI) mice were exposed to hyperoxia (>95%) or room air from day of life (DOL) 0–14, after which all animals were kept in room air. Survival curves were generated through DOL 14. Lung development was assessed using radial alveolar count (RAC) and mean linear intercept (MLI) at DOL 3 and 28 and pulmonary vessel density at DOL 28. Lung tissue was collected, and NF-κB activity was assessed using Western blot for IκB degradation and NF-κB nuclear translocation. WT mice demonstrated 80% mortality through 14 days of exposure. In contrast, AKBI mice demonstrated 60% survival. Decreased RAC, increased MLI, and pulmonary vessel density caused by hyperoxia in WT mice were significantly attenuated in AKBI mice. These findings were associated with early and sustained NF-κB activation and expression of cytoprotective target genes, including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. We conclude that sustained hyperoxia-induced NF-κB activation improves neonatal survival and preserves lung development. Potentiating early NF-κB activity after hyperoxic exposure may represent a therapeutic intervention to prevent BPD. PMID:24748603

    Starr, Brett R.; Yunis, Isam; Olds, Aaron D.

    2011-01-01

    A Day of Launch flight loads assessment technique that determines running loads calculated from flexible body coupled loads was developed for the Ares I-X Flight Test Vehicle. The technique was developed to quantify DOL flight loads in terms of structural load components rather than the typically used q-alpha metric to provide more insight into the DOL loads. In this technique, running loads in the primary structure are determined from the combination of quasi-static aerodynamic loads and dynamic loads. The aerodynamic loads are calculated as a function of time using trajectory parameters passed from the DOL trajectory simulation and are combined with precalculated dynamic loads using a load combination equation. The potential change in aerodynamic load due to wind variability during the countdown is included in the load combination. In the event of a load limit exceedance, the technique allows the identification of what load component is exceeded, a quantification of how much the load limit is exceeded, and where on the vehicle the exceedance occurs. This technique was used to clear the Ares I-X FTV for launch on October 28, 2009. This paper describes the use of coupled loads in the Ares I-X flight loads assessment and summarizes the Ares I-X load assessment results.

    The Ebola virus disease epidemic between 2013 and 2016 in West Africa was unprecedented. It resulted in approximately 28.000 cases and 10.000 Ebola survivors. Many survivors face social, economic and health-related predicaments and media reporting is crucially important in infectious disease outbreaks. However, there is little research on reporting of the social situation of Ebola survivors in Liberia. The study used a mixed methods approach and analysed media reports from the Liberian Daily Observer (DOL), a daily newspaper available online in English. We were interested to know how the situation of Ebola survivors was portrayed; in what way issues such as stigma and discrimination were addressed; and which stigma reduction interventions were covered and how. We included all articles on the situation of Ebola survivors in the quantitative and in-depth qualitative analysis published between April 2014 and March 2016. The DOL published 148 articles that portrayed the social situation of Ebola survivors between the 24 months observation period. In these articles, Ebola survivors were often defined beyond biological terms, reflecting on a broader social definition of survivorship. Survivorship was associated with challenges such as suffering from after-effects, social and economic consequences and psychological distress. Almost 50% of the articles explicitly mentioned stigmatisation in their reporting on Ebola survivors. This was contextualised in untrustworthiness towards international responses and the local health care system and inconclusive knowledge on cures and transmission routes. In the majority of DOL articles stigma reduction and engaging survivors in the response was reported as crucially important. Reporting in the DOL was educational-didactical and well-balanced in terms of disseminating available medical knowledge and reflecting the social situation of Ebola survivors. While the articles contextualised factors contributing to stigmatisation throughout the reporting, journalistic scrutiny regarding effectiveness of interventions by government and NGOs was missing.

    EAD Metallurgical, Inc., operated a facility in Tonawanda, New York, in which it utilized Americium 241 (Am-241) for the production of foil sources for use in smoke detectors. EAD was in operation between 1977 and 1983. By 1983, the company started losing money, and decided to relocate to Mexico. Before closing down its Tonawanda operation, however, it was required by the New York State Department of Labor (DOL) to decontaminate its facility to limits specified by DOL. No records of discharges to the sewer system were kept during this decontamination effort. Unsuccessful decontamination efforts by several EAD employees and contractorsmore » left the building contaminated, in particular the concrete floors and walls. To determine the scope of work for the decontamination project, staff from the New York State Departments of Health (DOH) and Environmental Conservation (DEC) conducted a Characterization Survey of the facility in 1993. This survey identified contamination levels of Am-241 in excess of release limits throughout the building, in the soil outside the facility, in pipes for sewage and interior drainage, and in an 8 x 8 x 11 foot sump pit in the building. DOH issued a request for proposals in early 1994 for the decontamination and subsequent decommissioning of the former EAD building, and NES/IES Inc. (NES) was awarded the contract to perform the remediation. DOH`s assignment was to provide an on-site presence to insure the completion of all agreed upon tasks, according to the terms of the contract and work plans submitted by NES. Additionally, the DOH staff acted as a liaison between NES, DOH, DEC and DOL central offices to review, comment and approve all changes or modifications to NES`s approach to the decontamination efforts. The assigned staff was also responsible for conducting confirmatory sampling and surveys of all areas deemed releasable to DOL and DEC criteria by NES.« less

We were interested to know how the situation of Ebola survivors was portrayed; in what way issues such as stigma and discrimination were addressed; and which stigma reduction interventions were covered and how. We included all articles on the situation of Ebola survivors in the quantitative and in-depth qualitative analysis published between April 2014 and March 2016. Results The DOL published 148 articles that portrayed the social situation of Ebola survivors between the 24 months observation period. In these articles, Ebola survivors were often defined beyond biological terms, reflecting on a broader social definition of survivorship. Survivorship was associated with challenges such as suffering from after-effects, social and economic consequences and psychological distress. Almost 50% of the articles explicitly mentioned stigmatisation in their reporting on Ebola survivors. This was contextualised in untrustworthiness towards international responses and the local health care system and inconclusive knowledge on cures and transmission routes. In the majority of DOL articles stigma reduction and engaging survivors in the response was reported as crucially important. Discussion Reporting in the DOL was educational-didactical and well-balanced in terms of disseminating available medical knowledge and reflecting the social situation of Ebola survivors. While the articles contextualised factors contributing to stigmatisation throughout the reporting, journalistic scrutiny regarding effectiveness of interventions by government and NGOs was missing.

    The 'dolomite problem', the scarcity of present-day dolomite formation near the Earth's surface, has attracted much attention over the past century. Solving this problem requires having reliable data on the stability and kinetics of formation of this mineral. Toward this goal, the solubility of natural dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) has been measured from 50 to 253 °C in 0.1 mol/kg NaCl solutions using a hydrogen electrode concentration cell (HECC). The obtained apparent solubility products (Kapp-sp-dol), for the reaction: CaMg(CO3)2 = Ca2+ + Mg2+ + 2CO32-, were extrapolated to infinite dilution to generate the solubility product constants for this reaction (Ksp°-dol). The derived equilibrium constants were fit and can be accurately described by log10Ksp°-dol = a + b/T (K) + cT (K) where a = 17.502, b = -4220.119 and c = -0.0689. This equation and its first and second derivatives with respect to T were used together with corresponding aqueous species properties to calculate the revised standard state thermodynamic properties of dolomite at 25 °C and 1 bar, yielding a Gibbs energy of formation (Δf G298.15∘) equal to -2160.9 ± 2 kJ/mol, (log10Ksp°-dol = -17.19 ± 0.3); an enthalpy of formation (Δf H298.15∘) of -2323.1 ± 2 kJ/mol, an entropy (S298.15∘) of 156.9 ± 2 J/mol/K and heat capacity (Cp298.15∘) of 154.2 ± 2 J/mol/K (uncertainties are 3σ). The dolomite solubility product derived in this study is nearly identical to that computed using SUPCRT92 (Johnson et al., 1992) at 200 °C, but about one order of magnitude higher at 50 and 25 °C, suggesting that dolomite may be somewhat less stable than previously assumed at ambient temperatures.

  9. Oxygen Isotope and Microtextural Evidence for Fluctuations in Fluid Pressure During Contact Metamorphism, Alta Aureole, Utah, USA

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    2006-12-01

    Thin section-scale textures record a detailed history of prograde and retrograde reactions in the periclase (Per) zone of the Alta Stock aureole. New ion microprobe (SIMS) measurements (10 micron spot, ±0.2 permil, 1sd) of the oxygen isotope compositions of the carbonates preserving these textures provide evidence for at least two cycles of oscillation of fluid pressure (Pfl) between lithostatic (PL) and hydrostatic (Phyd) conditions during evolution of the inner aureole. Infiltration of water-rich fluids during prograde metamorphism converted dolomite (Dol) to Per + calcite (Cal) marble and caused significant 18O/16O depletion in the Dol protolith (Initial δ18O (Cal) > +25 permil), producing Cal with δ18O values of +11 permil. The SIMS values approximate oxygen isotope exchange equilibrium with the Alta stock, indicating that infiltrating fluids were likely magmatic. Exsolution of fluid from the crystallizing magma, coupled with geothermometry from the periclase zone marbles, requires Pfl> PL. Horizontally-oriented expansion cracks filled with brucite (Br) extend from Br pseudomorphs after periclase, and cut retrograde Dol that partially to completely rims the Br pseudomorphs. This earlier retrograde Dol is significantly depleted in 18O/16O relative to matrix Cal, with δ18O of +5 to +7.1 permil. These lower δ18O values indicate that meteoric water infiltrated into the Per marbles during cooling and resulting partial back reaction of Per + Cal to Dol, prior to the hydration of the remaining Per to Br. Influx of meteoric water requires sufficient increase in permeability to permit surface- derived meteoric water to penetrate to the estimated 4.5 km depth of this structural level of the Alta aureole, and suggests a resulting decrease in Pfl to hydrostatic pressure conditions. The horizontally-oriented expansion cracks associated with the Br pseudomorphs indicate that sub-vertical expansion accompanied hydration of Per to Br, requiring that Pfl increase again to values equal to and even slightly in excess of PL. Subsequent formation of a second generation of sub-vertical Dol veins with very low δ18O values (-1.9 to +1.2 permil) indicates another stage of infiltration involving even greater amounts of meteoric water, and a return to hydrostatic Pflconditions. Hence the detailed microtextures in the Per zone marbles, and their δ18O values, measureable with the spatial resolution capability of the ion microprobe, record a history of fluctuating fluid pressure between lithostatic and hydrostatic conditions in the inner Alta aureole. Such fluctuations should not be surprising. Contact metamorphic environments are characterized by strong spatial and temporal gradients in temperature, and a number of thermally-dependent factors (e.g., compaction, crystallization, reaction-generated porosity, thermally-controlled expansion and contraction) would then interact dynamically as sealing and cracking mechanisms to both increase and decrease permeability. Further, transient increases in fluid pressure would be expected from production of volatiles by metamorphic reactions and from multiple pulses of magmatic fluid produced during the assembly of an igneous intrusion.

    Feed coal and y ash samples were collected at Republika and Bobov Dol thermoelectric power plants (TPPs). The y ashes (FAs) were collected fromthree rows of the hot-side electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) array. Each sam- ple was wet-screened at 100, 200, 325 and 500 mesh. The coals and y ashes were characterized with regard to their petrological and chemical composition (including mercury content) and to their surface area properties. The calculated enrichment factor (EF) shows that the Hg concentrations in the bulk coal samples from Republika and Bobov Dol TPPs are 2.19 and 1.41, respectively. In some coal size fractions the EF can be up to 4 times higher than the Clarke value. The calculated EF for fly ashes shows that the Hg concentrations in the bulk samples studied are lower (between 0.03 and 0.32) than the Clarke value. The most enriched in Hg are the fly ashes from the 3rd ESP row of Republika TPP. The Hg distribution in bulk FAs taken from dierent rows of the electrostatic precipitators of both TPPs studied shows well established tendency of gradual increase in the Hg content from the 1st to the 2nd and 3rd ESP rows. The correlation between Hg content and surface area, mesopore and micropore volume of y ashes was also done in the present investigation.

  17. The predictable swarm: staying on top of radiology's cyclical staffing "bug".

    PubMed

    Ryan, Mary Jane

    2005-01-01

    Partners HealthCare System in Boston, MA, took some progressive and bold steps to address the recent staffing shortages in radiology. By addressing the shortage at the system level versus the individual hospital level, Partners was able to successfully recruit and support more than 80 new radiologic technologists from initial interest through graduation in 2 years. The recruitment effort helped reduce the utilization of temporary/agency personnel that cost the system more than dollar 6 million in 2001. The system utilized a multi-disciplinary team of professionals at many levels in the organization to achieve significant results in a relatively short period of time. Further, the organization channeled all available resources, including a grant from the US Department of Labor (DOL). The Boston Private Industry Council (BPIC), a local organization well known to the Partners HealthCare community benefits and human resources departments, managed the DOL grant. At least 64 of the first 80 graduates have accepted positions within Partners HealthCare radiology departments. The organization has further populated a database of more than 1,000 interested candidates, some of whom are currently in school and preparing for a future career in radiology, hopefully within the Partners HealthCare System. Partners HealthCare has managed to maintain a diversity rate at over 25% people of color by utilizing targeted recruiting efforts. Partners plans to continue to offer scholarships and other methods of support and career laddering for radiologic technologists in order to continue to meet staffing needs well in to the future. Partners HealthCare developed and implemented a "grow your own" strategy, and the system's leaders hold the philosophy that workforce development is a long-term investment requiring a flexible, permanent plan to stay ahead of the clinical staffing curve.

  4. Advances in Black-Hole Mergers: Spins and Unequal Masses

    2007-01-01

    The last two years have seen incredible development in numerical relativity: from fractions of an orbit, evolutions of an equal-mass binary have reached multiple orbits, and convergent gravitational waveforms have been produced from several research groups and numerical codes. We are now able to move our attention from pure numerics to astrophysics, and address scenarios relevant to current and future gravitational-wave detectors.Over the last 12 months at NASA Goddard, we have extended the accuracy of our Hahn-Dol code, and used it to move toward these goals. We have achieved high-accuracy simulations of black-hole binaries of low initial eccentricity, with enough orbits of inspiral before merger to allow us to produce hybrid waveforms that reflect accurately the entire lifetime of the BH binary. We are extending this work, looking at the effects of unequal masses and spins.

    Background and Purpose Induced hypothermia is thought to work partly by mitigating reperfusion injury in asphyxiated term newborns. The purpose of this study is to assess brain perfusion in the first week of life in these newborns. Patients and Methods In this prospective cohort study, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and perfusion imaging by arterial spin labeling (ASL-PI) was used to assess brain perfusion in these newborns. We measured regional cerebral blood flow values on 1–2 MRIs obtained during the first week of life and compared them to values obtained in control term newborns. The same or later MRI scans were obtained to define the extent of brain injury. Results Eighteen asphyxiated and four control term newborns were enrolled; eleven asphyxiated newborns were treated with hypothermia. Those developing brain injury despite being treated with induced hypothermia usually displayed hypoperfusion on day of life (DOL) 1, and then hyperperfusion on DOL 2–3 in brain areas subsequently exhibiting injury. Asphyxiated newborns not treated with hypothermia who developed brain injury also displayed hyperperfusion on DOL 1–6 in brain areas displaying injury. Conclusions Our data show that ASL-PI may be useful for identifying asphyxiated newborns at risk of developing brain injury, whether or not hypothermia is administered. Since hypothermia for 72 hours may not prevent brain injury when hyperperfusion is found early in the course of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, such newborns may be candidates for adjustments in their hypothermia therapy or for adjunctive neuroprotective therapies.

    2010-01-01

    To estimate the price elasticity of the demand for cigarettes in Mexico based on data sources and a methodology different from the ones used in previous studies on the topic. Quarterly time series of consumption, income and price for the time period 1994 to 2005 were used. A long-run demand model was estimated using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and the existence of a cointegration relationship was investigated. Also, a model using Dinamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) was estimated to correct for potential endogeneity of independent variables and autocorrelation of the residuals. DOLS estimates showed that a 10% increase in cigarette prices could reduce consumption in 2.5% (p<0.05) and increase government revenue in 16.11%. The results confirmed the effectiveness of taxes as an instrument for tobacco control in Mexico. An increase in taxes can be used to increase cigarette prices and therefore to reduce consumption and increase government revenue.

  9. Smart fastener for KC-135 structural integrity monitoring

    1997-06-01

    Hidden and inaccessible corrosion in aircraft structures is the number-one logistics problem for the U.S. Air Force, with an estimated maintenance cost in excess of $DOL1.0 billion per year in 1990-equivalent dollars. The Smart Aircraft Fastener Evaluation (SAFE) system is being developed to provide early warning detection of corrosion- related symptoms in hidden locations of aircraft structures. The SAFE incorporates an in situ measurement approach that measures and autonomously records several environmental conditions (i.e., pH, temperature, chloride, free potential, time-of-wetness) within a Hi-Lok aircraft fastener that could cause corrosion to occur. The SAFE system integrates a miniature electrochemical microsensor array and a time-of- wetness sensor with an ultra-low-power 8-bit microcontroller and 5-Mbyte solid-state FLASH archival memory to measure the evidence of active corrosion. A summary of the technical approach, system design definition, software architecture, and future field test plans will be presented.

  9. Erosion rate study at the Allchar deposit (Macedonia) based on radioactive and stable cosmogenic nuclides (26 Al, 36 Cl, 3 He, and 21 Ne)

    Abstract This paper focuses on constraining the erosion rate in the area of the Allchar Sb‐As‐Tl‐Au deposit (Macedonia). It contains the largest known reserves of lorandite (TlAsS2), which is essential for the LORanditeEXperiment (LOREX), aimed at determining the long‐term solar neutrino flux. Because the erosion history of the Allchar area is crucial for the success of LOREX, we applied terrestrial in situ cosmogenic nuclides including both radioactive (26Al and 36Cl) and stable (3He and 21Ne) nuclides in quartz, dolomite/calcite, sanidine, and diopside. The obtained results suggest that there is accordance in the values obtained by applying 26Al, 36Cl, and 21Ne for around 85% of the entire sample collection, with resulting erosion rates varying from several tens of m/Ma to ∼165 m/Ma. The samples from four locations (L‐8 CD, L1b/R, L1c/R, and L‐4/ADR) give erosion rates between 300 and 400 m/Ma. Although these localities reveal remarkably higher values, which may be explained by burial events that occurred in part of Allchar, the erosion rate estimates mostly in the range between 50 and 100 m/Ma. This range further enables us to estimate the vertical erosion rate values for the two main ore bodies Crven Dol and Centralni Deo. We also estimate that the lower and upper limits of average paleo‐depths for the ore body Centralni Deo from 4.3 Ma to the present are 250–290 and 750–790 m, respectively, whereas the upper limit of paleo‐depth for the ore body Crven Dol over the same geological age is 860 m. The estimated paleo‐depth values allow estimating the relative contributions of 205Pb derived from pp‐neutrino and fast cosmic‐ray muons, respectively, which is an important prerequisite for the LOREX experiment.

  14. Ovarian control of nectar collection in the honey bee (Apis mellifera).

    PubMed

    Siegel, Adam J; Freedman, Colin; Page, Robert E

    2012-01-01

    Honey bees are a model system for the study of division of labor. Worker bees demonstrate a foraging division of labor (DOL) by biasing collection towards carbohydrates (nectar) or protein (pollen). The Reproductive ground-plan hypothesis of Amdam et al. proposes that foraging DOL is regulated by the networks that controlled foraging behavior during the reproductive life cycle of honey bee ancestors. Here we test a proposed mechanism through which the ovary of the facultatively sterile worker impacts foraging bias. The proposed mechanism suggests that the ovary has a regulatory effect on sucrose sensitivity, and sucrose sensitivity impacts nectar loading. We tested this mechanism by measuring worker ovary size (ovariole number), sucrose sensitivity, and sucrose solution load size collected from a rate-controlled artificial feeder. We found a significant interaction between ovariole number and sucrose sensitivity on sucrose solution load size when using low concentration nectar. This supports our proposed mechanism. As nectar and pollen loading are not independent, a mechanism impacting nectar load size would also impact pollen load size.

  8. Geochronology, geochemistry and isotope tracing of the Oligocene magmatism of the Buchim-Damjan-Borov Dol ore district: Implications for timing, duration and source of the magmatism

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Lehmann, St.; Barcikowski, J.; von Quadt, A.; Gallhofer, D.; Peytcheva, I.; Heinrich, C. A.; Serafimovski, T.

    2013-11-01

    Timing, source and magmatic evolution of the intrusions in the Buchim-Damjan-Borov Dol ore district of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M.) have been studied. They intrude the Circum Rhodope Unit close to the contact with the Vardar Zone and are a part of the Late Eocene-Oligocene Macedonian Rhodope-North Aegean belt. The magmatism at Buchim-Damjan-Borov Dol occurred between 24.04 ± 0.77 and 24.51 ± 0.89 Ma, as indicated by chemical-annealing (CA)-LA ICP-MS zircon dating. Major element, trace and rare earth element analyses have been performed on the various intrusive rocks. All ore bearing magmas were classified as trachyandesitic, except the youngest intrusion which is not associated with mineralization; the Black Hill locality (24.04 ± 0.77 Ma) shows a trachytic composition. The distribution of the trace elements, enrichment of large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and depletion in high field strength elements (HFSE), indicates subduction-related magmatism; most of the magmas follow a calc-alkaline fractionation trend with shoshonitic affinities; additionally, Sr/Y (10 to 90) and La/Yb values show some similarities to adakite-like magmas. Sr and Nd isotope ratios (Sri = 0.70658 to 0.70740 and Ndi = 0.512425-0.512497) show that the magmatic products were slightly contaminated by continental crust material, e.g., the Variscan/Cadomian basement. In the Late Eocene-Oligocene belt the magmatism between 29 and 35 Ma is dominated by crustal melting with an increase in the mantle contribution between 20 and 27 Ma. We suggest the following scenario for the magmatic history of the Buchim-Damjan-Borov Dol ore district: a slab rollback of an oceanic slab located further to the SW which led to extensional and compressional features in upper levels of the continental crust. In the middle to upper crust three consecutive crystallization stages occurred at variable depths as indicated by amphibole zonation. Mixing of newly formed crust with mantle-like affinities and continental crust material in variable degrees during the ascent of the magma can explain all geochemical characteristics. The magma crystallized as dykes or stocks near the Earth's surface (> 1 km) after its final emplacement and contemporaneous hydrothermal activity led to different mineralization styles depending on the lithology of the host rocks.

  9. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide as a useful predictor of early surgery in neonates with congenital heart diseases: a prospective observational study.

    PubMed

    Makimura, Mika; Koga, Hiroshi

    2014-01-01

    Pediatric studies have found a correlation between the clinical heart failure score and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels. However, the clinical usefulness of this marker remains unclear in neonates. At hospitals without pediatric cardiologists, neonatologists or general pediatricians must judge whether surgery is indicated and transfer patients to a specialized hospital in a timely fashion as required. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that increased NT-proBNP levels predict short-term outcomes in neonates with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) and are thus a useful tool for evaluating clinical status and guiding treatment. Subjects were term or near-term newborns (≥36 weeks' gestation) with CHDs confined to left-to-right shunt lesions. Clinical parameters and NT-proBNP levels were measured on the first 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of life (DOL). We divided patients into a surgical (n = 7) and a conservative-treatment group (n = 21), and then compared clinical variables and outcomes between the groups. In the surgical group, NT-proBNP levels had a tendency to increase during the first 14 postnatal days and were significantly greater than in the conservative-treatment group on 7 DOL [median (range), 13,983 pg/mL (4,732-26,524) vs. 1,954 pg/mL (671-10,881); p = 0.0028] and on 14 DOL [29,274 pg/mL (14,006-33,740) vs. 2,050 pg/mL (1,304-9,250); p = 0.0055]. In contrast, NT-proBNP levels tended to decrease sequentially in the conservative-treatment group. The values of additional markers, such as mean NT-proBNP level on 7 and 14 DOLs (M7-14) and NT-proBNP level on 14 DOL minus that on 7 DOL (Δ7-14), were both significantly greater in the surgical group than in the conservative-treatment group. To examine the usability of M7-14 and Δ7-14 when the difference and mean cut-off levels were set at 10,000 and 3,000 pg/mL, respectively, the sensitivity and specificity were both 100 %. In neonates who had CHDs with left-to-right shunt, analysis of the association between clinical variables and short-term outcomes showed that NT-proBNP, especially M7-14 and Δ7-14, is a useful predictor of early surgery.

  17. Optical fiber-mediated photosynthesis for enhanced subsurface oxygen delivery.

    PubMed

    Lanzarini-Lopes, Mariana; Delgado, Anca G; Guo, Yuanming; Dahlen, Paul; Westerhoff, Paul

    2018-03-01

    Remediation of polluted groundwater often requires oxygen delivery into subsurface to sustain aerobic bacteria. Air sparging or injection of oxygen containing solutions (e.g., hydrogen peroxide) into the subsurface are common. In this study visible light was delivered into the subsurface using radially emitting optical fibers. Phototrophic organisms grew near the optical fiber in a saturated sand column. When applying light in on-off cycles, dissolved oxygen (DO) varied from super saturation levels of >15 mg DO/L in presence of light to under-saturation (<5 mg DO/L) in absence of light. Non-photosynthetic bacteria dominated at longer radial distances from the fiber, presumably supported by soluble microbial products produced by the photosynthetic microorganisms. The dissolved oxygen variations alter redox condition changes in response to light demonstrate the potential to biologically deliver oxygen into the subsurface and support a diverse microbial community. The ability to deliver oxygen and modulate redox conditions on diurnal cycles using solar light may provide a sustainable, long term strategy for increasing dissolved oxygen levels in subsurface environments and maintaining diverse biological communities.

  18. Ovarian Control of Nectar Collection in the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)

    PubMed Central

    Siegel, Adam J.; Freedman, Colin; Page, Robert E.

    2012-01-01

    Honey bees are a model system for the study of division of labor. Worker bees demonstrate a foraging division of labor (DOL) by biasing collection towards carbohydrates (nectar) or protein (pollen). The Reproductive ground-plan hypothesis of Amdam et al. proposes that foraging DOL is regulated by the networks that controlled foraging behavior during the reproductive life cycle of honey bee ancestors. Here we test a proposed mechanism through which the ovary of the facultatively sterile worker impacts foraging bias. The proposed mechanism suggests that the ovary has a regulatory effect on sucrose sensitivity, and sucrose sensitivity impacts nectar loading. We tested this mechanism by measuring worker ovary size (ovariole number), sucrose sensitivity, and sucrose solution load size collected from a rate-controlled artificial feeder. We found a significant interaction between ovariole number and sucrose sensitivity on sucrose solution load size when using low concentration nectar. This supports our proposed mechanism. As nectar and pollen loading are not independent, a mechanism impacting nectar load size would also impact pollen load size. PMID:22558073

  19. Calcium Solubility and Cation Exchange Properties in Zeoponic Soil

    NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

    Beiersdorfer, Raymond E.

    1999-01-01

    An important aspect of a regenerative life support system at a Lunar or Martian outpost is the ability to produce food. Essential plant nutrients, as well as a solid support substrate, can be provided by: (1) treated Lunar or Martian regolith; (2) a synthetic soil or (3) some combination of both. A synthetic soil composed of ammonium- and potassium-saturated chinoptlolite (a zeolite mineral) and apatite, can provide slow-release fertilization of plants via dissolution and ion-exchange reactions. Previous equilibrium studies (Beiersdorfer, 1997) on mixtures of synthetic hydroxyapatite and saturated-clinoptilolite indicate that the concentrations of macro-nutrients such as ammonium, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are a function of the ratio of chinoptilolite to apatite in the sample and to the ratio of potassium to ammonium on the exchange sites in the clinoptilolite. Potassium, ammonium, phosphorous, and magnesium are available to plants at sufficient levels. However, calcium is deficient, due to the high degree of calcium adsorption by the clinoptilolite. Based on a series of batch-equilibration experiments, this calcium deficiency can be reduced by (1) treating the clinoptilolite with CaNO3 or (2) adding a second Ca-bearing mineral (calcite, dolomite or wollastonite) to the soil. Treating the Cp with CaNO3 results in increased Ca in solution, decreased P in solution and decreased NH4 in solution. Concentrations of K were not effected by the CaNO3 treatment. Additions of Cal, Dol and Wol changed the concentrations of Ca and P in solution in a systematic fashion. Cal has the greatest effect, Dol the least and Wol is intermediate. The changes are consistent with changes expected for a common ion effect with Ca. Higher concentrations of Ca in solution with added Cal, Dol or Wol do not result in changes in K or NH4 concentrations.

    The high-resolution wind profile of the Automated Meteorological Profiling System (HRAMPS) is the proposed replacement for the Jimsphere measurement system used to support NASA Shuttle launches from the Eastern Test Range (ETR). Samples of twenty-six ETR near simultaneous Jimsphere and HRAMPS wind profiles were obtained for Shuttle program HRAMPS certification studies. Shuttle systems engineering certification is to ensure that spacecraft and launch vehicle systems performance and safety evaluations for each launch (derived from flight simulations with Jimsphere wind profile data bases) retain their validity when HRAMPS profiles are used on day-of-launch (DOL) in trajectory and loads simulations to support the commit-to-launch decision. This paper describes a statistical analysis of the near simultaneous profiles. In principle the differences between a Jimsphere profile and an HRAMPS profile should be attributed to tracking technology (radar versus GPS tracking of a Jimsphere flight element) and the method for derivation of wind vectors from the raw tracking data. In reality, it is not technically feasible to track the same Jimsphere balloon with the two systems. The aluminized Mylar surface of the standard Jimsphere flight element facilitates radar tracking, but it interferes with HRAMPS during simultaneous tracking. Suspending a radar reflector from an HRAMPS flight element (Jimsphere without aluminized coating) does not produce satisfactory Jimsphere profiles because of intermittent radar returns. Thus, differences between the Jimsphere and HRAMPS profiles are also attributed to differences in the trajectories of separate flight elements. Because of small sample size and a test period limited to one winter season, test measurements during extreme high winds aloft could not have been expected and did not occur. It is during the highest winds that the largest differences between Jimsphere and HRAMPS would occur because the distance between flight elements would be larger. Jimsphere radar tracking noise increases as a function of balloon displacement downrange. The Jimsphere data processing compensates for tracking signal/noise degradation by increasing the smoothing interval. The Jimsphere wind profile effective resolution is a function of downrange distance and altitude, whereas the effective resolution of the HRAMPS should be independent of those variables. The procedure used for editing Jimsphere spikes in Shuttle DOL profiles was not implemented for the Jimsphere profile measurements during the AMPS field tests. For this analysis a code was developed that essentially mimics DOL Jimsphere spike editing. Jimsphere profiles have somewhat more noise in the wavelength range less than 200m defined as the noise floor. No differences between Jimsphere and HRAMPS wind profile pairs have been found that would support denial of HRAMPS certification for application in Shuttle DOL applications. The reliability of the HRAMPS system, which is an important certification issue, is not addressed in this study.

    The Svalbard archipelago is located in the extreme North-West of the Barents Sea. On the archipelago in the framework of large-scale exploration of the continental shelf exploration work carried out by employees of the Polar Marine Geological Expedition (PMGE). The authors were further explored and tested the Neoproterozoic sections of the Groups Veteranen, Akademikarbreen and Polarisbreen on the East and West banks of the Sorgfjorden (the Northern part of the Ny Friesland Peninsula) and in the moraine of the glacier Duner. The rocks carbonate-terrigenous Veteranen Group (upper Riphean) is set in the rocky outcrops on the Western and Eastern banks of Sorgfjorden and in ice-dressed rocks of the Bay. The Group consists of four Formations (bottom to top): Kortbreen, Kingbreen, Glasgowbreen and Oxfordbreen. The rocks carbonate-terrigenous Akademikarbreen Group (upper Riphean) have a lower areal distribution than the breed Veteranen Group in the project area is established only in the southern part of the Bay, in the valleys Kluftdalen, Rivnedalen and small-unnamed streams, as well as on the plateau Fleinfjellet and Vidarfjellet. The Groups consists of four formation (bottom to top): Grusdievbreen, Svanbergfjellet, Draken and Backlundtoppen. According to previous researchers, limestone in Kingbreen Formation (Veteranen Group) met with radial-rayed Microphytolites group Radiosus. And in light grey, cream, pink and red limestones of the Academikarbreen Group, in the Svanbergfjellet Formation defined columnar branching Stromatolites Inzeria djejimi Raab., Gymnosolen aff. ramsayi Steinm. Stromatolites of Conophyton miloradovichi Raab. in the dolomites of the overlying sediments Draken and Backlundtoppen Formations contain Vendian the bubbles Microphytolites Vesicularites bothrydioformis Krasnop. In carbonate rocks of the Akademikerbreen Group were confirmed by the finds of Neoproterozoic microbial entities identified by previous researchers, and identified new locations of columnar Stromatolites of the Conophyton garganicus Kor., columnar Stromatolites of the group Anabaria sp., Inseria chunnbergica Gol, Balcalia mariinica Dol., Lenia jacutica Dol., dome-columnar Stromatolites Tinnia patomica Dol. and formation Stromatolites Stratifera baracunica Dol. In the few carbonate interbeds of the Veteranen Group were found concentric layered Microphytolites of Osagia genuses. Upper Riphean sections of the Spitsbergen archipelago based on the paleontological and lithological-facial characteristics are correlated confidently with complex of Phytolites of the Riphean stratotype of the southern Urals of Russia. The results of the new biostratigraphic data can be used for paleogeographic reconstruction and recovery lithofacies of the Neoproterozoic of Spitsbergen. In future studies it is desirable to conduct mapping of fossil organogenic structures, setting their length, width, length, relationship with host sediments. This may have importance both for the solution of fundamental questions of evolution of life on Earth, and in the search of minerals such as manganese, cobalt, phosphorite, oil, natural gas.

  2. A multilayered water column in the Ediacaran Yangtze platform? Insights from carbonate and organic matter paired δ13C

    Large carbon isotope fluctuations have been systematically reported for Ediacaran carbonate rocks, the meaning of which remains controversial. In order to better understand the mechanisms behind such variations, we present new paired δ13C data on carbonates ( δ13C carb) and their associated organic matter ( δ13C org) from a shelf-margin section (Yangjiaping) of the Doushantuo Formation. In this section, the Doushantuo Formation starts with cap dolostones presenting δ13C carb values around - 5‰ and δ13C org values between - 30.3 and - 27.6‰. Up-section, phased variations in δ13C carb and δ13C org describe positive and negative excursions, while their difference (Δ 13C dol-org = δ13C carb - δ13C org) remains around + 29.2‰. These new data allow the first reconstruction of lateral variations of δ13C carb, δ13C org and Δ 13C carb-org for a shelf-to-basin cross-section of the Yangtze platform (South China) after integration with results reported previously for two other sections. Across the Yangtze platform, the isotope signals reveal strong lateral heterogeneities, with complex variations of δ13C carb and Δ 13C dol-org in the inner-shelf section, phased variations in the shelf-margin section with positive δ13C carb and Δ 13C dol-org close to 29‰, and dominantly negative δ13C carb with δ13C org as low as - 35‰ in the basin. These variations are incompatible with the idea that the δ13C carb can systematically be used as a proxy of ocean surface waters. Assuming that δ13C carb are acquired in bottom waters and/or upper sediments, we show that the heterogeneous δ13C carb and Δ 13C dol-org are compatible with a stratified water column composed of up to three layers: (i) an oxic surface layer, where dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is probably in isotope equilibrium with the atmosphere; (ii) an intermediate euxinic layer with a lower δ13C DIC due to organic matter oxidation by ongoing sulphate reduction; (iii) a bottom euxinic layer that seems to be restricted to the inner-shelf lagoonal facies, lacking sulphate, containing methane and with a higher δ13C DIC due to DIC production by methanogenesis. If our model holds true, it suggests that not only negative but also positive Ediacaran carbon isotope excursions may reflect ocean stratification, the positive excursion possibly recording a sulphate-free methanogenic layer at the bottom of restricted basins.

  1. Potentiation of angiogenic switch in capillary endothelial cells by cAMP: A cross-talk between up-regulated LLO biosynthesis and the HSP-70 expression.

    2006-05-01

    During tumor growth and invasion, the endothelial cells from a relatively quiescent endothelium start proliferating. The exact mechanism of switching to a new angiogenic phenotype is currently unknown. We have examined the role of intracellular cAMP in this process. When a non-transformed capillary endothelial cell line was treated with 2 mM 8Br-cAMP, cell proliferation was enhanced by approximately 70%. Cellular morphology indicated enhanced mitosis after 32-40 h with almost one-half of the cell population in the S phase. Bcl-2 expression and caspase-3, -8, and -9 activity remained unaffected. A significant increase in the Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol biosynthesis and turnover, Factor VIIIC N-glycosylation, and cell surface expression of N-glycans was observed in cells treated with 8Br-cAMP. Dol-P-Man synthase activity in the endoplasmic reticulum membranes also increased. A 1.4-1.6-fold increase in HSP-70 and HSP-90 expression was also observed in 8Br-cAMP treated cells. On the other hand, the expression of GRP-78/Bip was 2.3-fold higher compared to that of GRP-94 in control cells, but after 8Br-cAMP treatment for 32 h, it was reduced by 3-fold. GRP-78/Bip expression in untreated cells was 1.2-1.5-fold higher when compared with HSP-70 and HSP-90, whereas that of the GRP-94 was 1.5-1.8-fold lower. After 8Br-cAMP treatment, GRP-78/Bip expression was reduced 4.5-4.8-fold, but the GRP-94 was reduced by 1.5-1.6-fold only. Upon comparison, a 2.9-fold down-regulation of GRP-78/Bip was observed compared to GRP-94. We, therefore, conclude that a high level of Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)-PP-Dol, resulting from 8Br-cAMP stimulation up-regulated HSP-70 expression and down-regulated that of the GRP-78/Bip, maintained adequate protein folding, and reduced endoplasmic reticulum stress. As a result capillary endothelial cell proliferation was induced.

    Objective The objective of this study was to determine differences in the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or death in very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants managed successfully on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus mechanical ventilation on the first day of life (DOL). Study Design This is a retrospective analysis of the Alere neonatal database for infants born between January 2009 and December 2014, weighing ≤ 1,500 g. Baseline demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes were compared between the two groups. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to control the variables that differ in bivariate analysis. Results In this study, 4,629 infants (birth weight 1,034 ± 290 g, gestational age 28.1 ± 2.5 weeks) met the inclusion criteria. The successful use of early CPAP was associated with a significant reduction in BPD or death (p < 0.001), as well as days to room air, decreased oxygen use at discharge, lower risk for severe intraventricular hemorrhage, and patent ductus arteriosus requiring surgical ligation (p < 0.001 for all outcomes). Conclusion Successful use of early CPAP on the first DOL in VLBW infants is associated with a reduced risk of BPD or death. PMID:27057767

    The identification and development of conductive electrolytes with high concentrations of redox active species is key to realizing energy-dense nonaqueous flow batteries. Herein, we explore the use of ether solvents (1,3-dioxolane (DOL), 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME), diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DEGDME), and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME)) as the basis for redox electrolytes containing a lithium ion supporting salt (LiBF4 or LiTFSI) and 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)benzene (DBBB) as an active material. An automated high-throughput platform is employed to screen various electrolyte compositions by measuring solution conductivity and solute solubility as a function of solvent and salt type, component concentration, and temperature. Subsequently, the electrochemicalmore » and transport properties of select redox electrolytes are characterized by cyclic voltammetry using glassy carbon disk electrodes and by linear sweep voltammetry using carbon fiber ultramicroelectrodes. In general, improvements in electrolyte conductivity and solute solubility are observed with ether-based formulations as compared to previously reported propylene carbonate (PC)-based formulations. In particular, the addition of DOL to a DME-based electrolyte increases the conductivity and decreases the temperature for solubilization at high LiTFSI and DBBB concentrations. The redox behavior of DBBB remains consistent across the range of concentrations tested while the diffusion coefficient scales with changes in solution viscosity.« less

    1995-04-01

    The projection display industry is diverse, embracing a variety of technologies and applications. In recent years, there has been a high level of interest in projection displays, particularly those using LCD panels or light valves because of the difficulty in making large screen, direct view displays. Many developers feel that projection displays will be the wave of the future for large screen HDTV (high-definition television), penetrating the huge existing market for direct view CRT-based televisions. Projection displays can have the images projected onto a screen either from the rear or the front; the main characteristic is their ability to be viewed by more than one person. In addition to large screen home television receivers, there are numerous other uses for projection displays including conference room presentations, video conferences, closed circuit programming, computer-aided design, and military command/control. For any given application, the user can usually choose from several alternative technologies. These include CRT front or rear projectors, LCD front or rear projectors, LCD overhead projector plate monitors, various liquid or solid-state light valve projectors, or laser-addressed systems. The overall worldwide market for projection information displays of all types and for all applications, including home television, will top DOL4.6 billion in 1995 and DOL6.45 billion in 2001.

  1. A Fluorinated Ether Electrolyte Enabled High Performance Prelithiated Graphite/Sulfur Batteries

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

    Chen, Shuru; Yu, Zhaoxin; Gordin, Mikhail L.

    Lithium/sulfur (Li/S) batteries have attracted great attention as a promising energy storage technology, but so far their practical applications are greatly hindered by issues of polysulfide shuttling and unstable lithium/electrolyte interface. To address these issues, a feasible strategy is to construct a rechargeable prelithiated graphite/sulfur batteries.

    Herein, I report on my first 50 contact laser prostatectomies performed with the SLT Nd:YAG laser. The obstructed prostatic urethra is opened via contact laser vaporization of the obstructing adenoma. The average pre-op AUA symptom score was 22.9 (range 14 - 30). The average 3 month post-op AUA symptom score was 2.1 (range 0 -8). Eighteen of the patients had the foley catheter removed approximately 4 - 6 hours post-op and were discharged the same day. Thirty patients had the foley catheter removed the morning following surgery and were discharged. And two patients had the foley catheter removed the morning following surgery, but remained in the hospital for medical reasons unrelated to the TURP. Thus, 48 (96%) of the patients were discharged within 24 hours of admission. No patient had to be readmitted to the hospital for any reason. All patients were allowed to return to full activity within 24 hours of discharge. The average hospital cost for the 48 patients discharged within 24 hours was DOL4,694. This compares to the average hospital cost of an electrocautery TURP of DOL6-8000. In summary, contact laser TURP using the SLT Nd:YAG laser relived the symptoms of an obstructing prostate comparable to electrocautery TURP. However, these results were achieved with a much shorter hospitalization, a quicker return to full activity and at a lower cost.

    Lithium/sulfur (Li/S) batteries have attracted great attention as a promising energy storage technology, but so far their practical applications are greatly hindered by issues of polysulfide shuttling and unstable lithium/electrolyte interface. To address these issues, a feasible strategy is to construct a rechargeable prelithiated graphite/sulfur batteries. In this study, a fluorinated ether of bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) ether (BTFE) was reported to blend with 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) for making a multifunctional electrolyte of 1.0 M LiTFSI DOL/BTFE (1:1, v/v) to enable high performance prelithiated graphite/S batteries.

    Large screen information displays are defined as dynamic electronic displays that can be viewed by more than one person and are at least 2-feet wide. These large area displays for public viewing provide convenience, entertainment, security, and efficiency to the viewers. There are numerous uses for large screen information displays including those in advertising, transportation, traffic control, conference room presentations, computer aided design, banking, and military command/control. A noticeable characteristic of the large screen display market is the interchangeability of display types. For any given application, the user can usually choose from at least three alternative technologies, and sometimes from many more. Some display types have features that make them suitable for specific applications due to temperature, brightness, power consumption, or other such characteristic. The overall worldwide unit consumption of large screen information displays of all types and for all applications (excluding consumer TV) will increase from 401,109 units in 1995 to 655,797 units in 2002. On a unit consumption basis, applications in business and education represent the largest share of unit consumption over this time period; in 1995, this application represented 69.7% of the total. The market (value of shipments) will grow from DOL3.1 billion in 1995 to DOL3.9 billion in 2002. The market will be dominated by front LCD projectors and LCD overhead projector plates.

    To examine the effects of opioid and tissue-damaging procedures (TDPs) [i.e. procedures performed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) known to result in pain, stress, and tissue damage] on brain metabolites, we reviewed the medical records of 28 asphyxiated term neonates (eight opioid-treated, 20 non-opioid treated) who had undergone magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) within the first month of life as well as eight newborns with no clinical findings of asphyxial injury. We found that lower creatine (Cr), myoinositol (Ins), and N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/choline (Cho) (p < or = 0.03) and higher Cho/Cr and glutamate/glutamine (Glx) Cr (p < or = 0.02) correlated with increased TDP incidence in the first 2 d of life (DOL). We also found that occipital gray matter (OGM) NAA/Cr was decreased (p = 0.03) and lactate (Lac) was present in a significantly higher amount (40%; p = 0.03) in non-opioid-treated neonates compared with opioid-treated neonates. Compared with controls, untreated neonates showed larger changes in more metabolites in basal ganglia (BG), thalami (TH), and OGM with greater significance than treated neonates. Our data suggest that TDPs affect spectral metabolites and that opioids do not cause harm in asphyxiated term neonates exposed to repetitive TDPs in the first 2-4 DOL and may provide a degree of neuroprotection.

  14. Injuries and fatalities among emergency medical technicians and paramedics in the United States.

    Maguire, Brian J; Smith, Sean

    2013-08-01

    Emergency medical services personnel treat 22 million patients a year, yet little is known of their risk of injury and fatality. Work-related injury and fatality rates among US paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are higher than the national average for all occupations. Data collected by the Department of Labor (DOL) Bureau of Labor Statistics were reviewed to identify injuries and fatalities among EMTs and paramedics from 2003 through 2007. The characteristics of fatal injuries are described and the rates and relative risks of the non-fatal injuries were calculated and compared to the national average. Of the 21,749 reported cases, 21,690 involved non-fatal injuries or illnesses that resulted in lost work days among EMTs and paramedics within the private sector. Of the injuries, 3,710 (17%) resulted in ≥31 days of lost work time. A total of 14,470 cases (67%) involved sprains or strains; back injury was reported in 9,290 of the cases (43%); and the patient was listed as the source of injury in 7,960 (37%) cases. The most common events were overexertion (12,146, 56%), falls (2,169, 10%), and transportation-related (1,940, 9%). A total of 530 assaults were reported during the study period. Forty-five percent of the cases occurred among females (females accounted for 27% of employment in this occupation during 2007). In 2007, EMTs and paramedics suffered 349.9 injuries with days away from work per 10,000 full-time workers, compared to an average of 122.2 for all private industry occupations (Relative risk = 2.9; 95% CI: 2.7-3.0). During the study period, 59 fatalities occurred among EMTs and paramedics in both the private industry and in the public sector. Of those fatalities, 51 (86%) were transportation-related and five (8%) were assaults; 33 (56%) were classified as "multiple traumatic injuries." Data from the DOL show that EMTs and paramedics have a rate of injury that is about three times the national average for all occupations. The vast majority of fatalities are secondary to transportation related-incidents. Assaults are also identified as a significant cause of fatality. The findings also indicate that females in this occupational group may have a disproportionately larger number of injuries. Support is recommended for further research related to causal factors and for the development, evaluation and promulgation of evidence-based interventions to mitigate this problem.

    ...On August 13, 2010, the Department of Labor (DOL) proposed revisions to the regulations governing the administration of the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). The FECA provides benefits to all civilian Federal employees and certain other groups of employees and individuals who are injured or killed while performing their jobs. At that time, DOL also proposed revisions to the regulations establishing the authority of the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) which administers the FECA. The proposed changes were summarized in that publication. The existing rules have been amended to acknowledge a change in the organization of the OWCP and amendments to the FECA which have occurred since the last time the regulations were amended in 1999. These changes also update the regulations by taking into account changes in technology and other changes to improve administrative efficiency. As many FECA claimants are not represented, the regulations are revised to insert FECA statutory references as a frame of reference for clarity and ease of use. The regulations include adding the skin as an organ pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 8107(c)(22). The regulations also create a new special schedule covering injuries to non-citizen non-resident Federal employees outside the United States. Finally, the regulations covering the processing of medical bills have been updated to provide for greater use of technology in that process to reduce costs and to clarify requirements for such submissions.

  16. Cytosolic-free oligosaccharides are predominantly generated by the degradation of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides in mammalian cells.

    PubMed

    During asparagine (N)-linked protein glycosylation, eukaryotic cells generate considerable amounts of free oligosaccharides (fOSs) in the cytosol. It is generally assumed that such fOSs are produced by the deglycosylation of misfolded N-glycoproteins that are destined for proteasomal degradation or as the result of the degradation of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides (DLOs), which serve as glycan donor substrates in N-glycosylation reactions. The findings reported herein show that the majority of cytosolic fOSs are generated by a peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) and an endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase)-independent pathway in mammalian cells. The ablation of the cytosolic deglycosylating enzymes, PNGase and ENGase, in mouse embryonic fibroblasts had little effect on the amount of cytosolic fOSs generated. Quantitative analyses of fOSs using digitonin-permeabilized cells revealed that they are generated by the degradation of fully assembled Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-pyrophosphate-dolichol (PP-Dol) in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Because the degradation of Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-PP-Dol is greatly inhibited in the presence of an N-glycosylation acceptor peptide that is recognized by the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST), the OST-mediated hydrolysis of DLO is the most likely mechanism responsible for the production of a large fraction of the cytosolic fOSs. © The Author 2015.

  19. Continuities of Risk in the Era of the Mental Capacity Act.

    PubMed

    Fanning, John

    2016-01-01

    When compared with the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005, the Mental Health Act (MHA) 1983 seems an outlier. It authorises compulsory treatment of mental disorders on the basis of P's risks. English law, therefore, discriminates between mental and physical disorders. Following the UK's ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the MHA probably also violates international law. Against this backdrop, one might expect that decisions contingent on risk are confined to the MHA and have no relevance elsewhere. This article argues that the opposite is true: risk-based decision-making has colonised MCA processes and plays a key role in determining the nature of P's interaction with health services. These 'continuities' of risk are most notable in the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS), where assessments of risk are implicitly significant for best interests and eligibility determinations. Using governmentality theory as an explanatory model, this article claims that the DOLS can be reconstructed as part of a wider legal apparatus for the regulation of the risks of harm associated with mental disorders. The article also argues that the Law Commission's recent proposals to introduce a new 'protective care' scheme and expand the remit of the MHA hint at a 'rehabilitation' of risk as an integral component of mental health and capacity law. The article concludes that the concept's stigmatising potential, lack of definition, and conflict with the CRPD cast doubt on its capacity to reconcile English mental health law with the era of autonomy, capacity, and non-discrimination. © The Author 2016.
