Abstract:
ABSTRACT The present study evaluated the potential of recombinant binding region A of clumping factor A (rClfA-A) to be an effective component of a vaccine against mastitis induced by Staphylococcus aureus in the mouse. rClfA-A and inactivated S. aureus were each emulsified in Freund's adjuvant, mineral oil adjuvant, and Seppic adjuvant; phosphate-buffered saline was used as a control. Seven groups of 12 mice each were immunized intraperitoneally three times at 2-week intervals. The titers of IgG and subtypes thereof (IgG1 and IgG2a) in the rClfA-A-immunized group were more than 1,000-fold higher than those in the killed-bacteria-immunized group (P < 0.01). Of the three adjuvants used, mineral oil adjuvant induced the highest antibody levels for both antigens (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the anti-rClfA-A antibody capacities for bacterial adhesion and opsonizing phagocytosis were significantly greater in the rClfA-A-immunized group than in the killed-bacteria-immunized group (P < 0.05). Lactating mice immunized with either rClfA-A or inactivated vaccine were challenged with S. aureus via the intramammary route. The numbers of bacteria recovered from the murine mammary glands 24 h after inoculation were significantly lower in the rClfA-A group than in the killed-bacteria-immunized group (P < 0.001). Histologic examination of the mammary glands showed that rClfA-A immunization effectively preserved tissue integrity. Thus, rClfA-A emulsified in an oil adjuvant provides strong immune protection against S. aureus-induced mastitis in the mouse.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT There is currently no licensed vaccine against Chlamydia trachomatis, the leading cause of sexually transmitted bacterial disease worldwide. Conventional vaccination attempts using surface-exposed chlamydial antigens have achieved only partial success. We have employed a novel vaccination strategy using a secreted protein, chlamydial protease-like activity factor (CPAF), which has been shown to degrade host major histocompatibility complex transcription factors and keratin-8 and therefore may allow immune evasion and establishment of a productive infection. Intranasal immunization using recombinant CPAF (rCPAF) plus interleukin-12 (IL-12) (rCPAF+IL-12 immunization) was used to assess the protective immunity against genital Chlamydia muridarum infection in BALB/c mice. rCPAF+IL-12 immunization induced robust gamma interferon (IFN-γ) production and minimal IL-4 production by splenocytes upon in vitro recall with rCPAF. The total and immunoglobulin G2a (IgG2a) anti-rCPAF antibody levels in serum were significantly elevated after rCPAF+IL-12 vaccination, as were the total antibody, IgG2a, and IgA levels in bronchoalveolar lavage and vaginal fluids when the animals were compared to animals that received rCPAF alone. rCPAF+IL-12-vaccinated mice displayed significantly reduced bacterial shedding upon chlamydial challenge and accelerated resolution of infection compared to mock-immunized (phosphate-buffered saline) animals. Moreover, rCPAF+IL-12-immunized animals exhibited protection against pathological consequences of chlamydial infection, including the development of hydrosalpinx and oviduct dilatation. This vaccination regimen also reduced the development of fibrosis and the influx of neutrophils into the upper genital tract when the animals were compared to mock-immunized (phosphate-buffered saline) animals after bacterial challenge. rCPAF+IL-12-mediated resolution of the bacterial infection and protection against Chlamydia-induced inflammatory disease were highly dependent on endogenous IFN-γ production. Together, these results demonstrate that secreted chlamydial antigens may be novel vaccine candidates to induce protective immunity.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT We have previously demonstrated the efficacy of recombinant chlamydial protease-like activity factor (rCPAF; a secreted chlamydial protein) in inducing antigen-specific CD4+ T cell/gamma interferon (IFN-γ)-mediated but not antibody-mediated chlamydial clearance and reduction of upper genital tract (UGT) pathological sequelae. Since chlamydial integral antigens may induce neutralizing antibody protection, we further evaluated induction of protective immunity using a combination of rCPAF and UV-inactivated chlamydial elementary bodies (UV-EB) against vaginal chlamydial challenge in comparison to immunization with the individual components or live EB. The rCPAF-UV-EB immunization induced a significantly enhanced anti-UV-EB cellular and antibody response and a reduced anti-CPAF cellular and antibody response, compared to immunization with the respective individual components. Moreover, vaccination with UV-EB and rCPAF-UV-EB induced serum antibodies that neutralized chlamydial infectivity. The rCPAF-UV-EB immunization resulted in a significant reduction of vaginal chlamydial shedding and induced earlier bacterial clearance than vaccination of mice with the individual components. Importantly, the UGT sequelae were significantly reduced in mice immunized with rCPAF or rCPAF-UV-EB, but not in those immunized with UV-EB alone, and approached the levels of protection induced by live EB. These results collectively suggest that a combination of neutralizing antibodies induced by integral chlamydial antigens and cell-mediated responses induced by secreted proteins such as CPAF induces optimal protective immunity against genital chlamydial infections.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT An important consideration for antichlamydial vaccine development is the induction of cross-serovar protection, since multiple serovars (D to L) of Chlamydia trachomatis cause genital infections. We have shown previously that vaccination with C. trachomatis-derived recombinant chlamydial protease-like activity factor (rCPAF) induced significant earlier resolution of Chlamydia muridarum infection and reduced oviduct pathology. However, the vaccinated mice continued to shed chlamydiae for up to 2 weeks after challenge. In this study, C. trachomatis serovar D recombinant proteins, such as recombinant major outer membrane protein (rMOMP), recombinant inclusion membrane protein A (rIncA), and rCPAF were administered intranasally, individually or in combinations, with murine interleukin-12 (IL-12) as an adjuvant, and cross-species immunity against intravaginal C. muridarum infection was examined. Immunization with rCPAF plus IL-12 (rCPAF+IL-12), compared to immunization with rIncA+IL-12 or rMOMP+IL-12, induced the greatest antigen-specific gamma interferon production from purified CD4+ T cells and concurrently enhanced serum antibody production. All (100%) the animals vaccinated with rCPAF+IL-12 alone or in any combination completely resolved the infection by day 18 after challenge compared to animals vaccinated with rIncA+IL-12 (50%), rMOMP+IL-12 (33%), or phosphate-buffered saline (mock vaccinated; 0%). Moreover, oviduct pathology in mice vaccinated by any regimen that included rCPAF, but not rMOMP+IL-12 or rIncA+IL-12 alone, was markedly reduced compared to mock-immunized animals. The addition of rMOMP and/or rIncA did not significantly enhance the rCPAF+IL-12-induced effect on bacterial clearance or oviduct pathology. These results suggest a greater conservation of protective linear antigenic epitopes within CPAF than MOMP or IncA across the examined serovars and the need to identify other highly conserved antigens for use with rCPAF in a multisubunit recombinant vaccine.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Prokaryotic secretion relies on proteins that are widely conserved, including NTPases and secretins, and on proteins that are system specific. The Tad secretion system in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is dedicated to the assembly and export of Flp pili, which are needed for tight adherence. Consistent with predictions that RcpA forms the multimeric outer membrane secretion channel (secretin) of the Flp pilus biogenesis apparatus, we observed the RcpA protein in multimers that were stable in the presence of detergent and found that rcpA and its closely related homologs form a novel and distinct subfamily within a well-supported gene phylogeny of the entire secretin gene superfamily. We also found that rcpA-like genes were always linked to Aggregatibacter rcpB- or Caulobacter cpaD-like genes. Using antisera, we determined the localization and gross abundances of conserved (RcpA and TadC) and unique (RcpB, RcpC, and TadD) Tad proteins. The three Rcp proteins (RcpA, RcpB, and RcpC) and TadD, a putative lipoprotein, localized to the bacterial outer membrane. RcpA, RcpC, and TadD were also found in the inner membrane, while TadC localized exclusively to the inner membrane. The RcpA secretin was necessary for wild-type abundances of RcpB and RcpC, and TadC was required for normal levels of all three Rcp proteins. TadC abundance defects were observed in rcpA and rcpC mutants. TadD production was essential for wild-type RcpA and RcpB abundances, and RcpA did not multimerize or localize to the outer membrane without the expression of TadD. These data indicate that membrane proteins TadC and TadD may influence the assembly, transport, and/or function of individual outer membrane Rcp proteins.

"Effects of acute cold exposure on carotid and femoral wave intensity indexes: evidence for reflection coefficient as a measure of distal vascular resistance." Journal of Applied Physiology 110, no. 3 (March 2011): 738–45. http://dx.doi.org/10.1152/japplphysiol.00863.2010.

Abstract:
Our aim was to investigate the effects of acute cold pressor test (CPT) on augmentation index (AI) and wave intensity (WI) indexes from right common carotid artery (RCCA) and right common femoral artery (RCFA) and to test whether the reflection coefficient (RC) from wave intensity analysis can reflect the distal vascular resistance (DVR) accurately. Forty-three healthy males were randomly selected for measurements at baseline and 1 min after CPT at RCCA or RCFA. CPT induced similar increases of heart rate and blood pressure in RCCA and RCFA groups with their pulse pressures unchanged. The W2 (the second peak of WI) was too obscure in RCFA to be analyzed. The W1 (the first peak of WI) of both arteries, W1-W2 (interval between W1 and W2), and NA (negative area between W1 and W2, indicating reflected waves) of RCCA and the R-W1 (interval between the R wave of ECG and W1) of RCFA decreased obviously, whereas the W2 and R-W1 of RCCA and the RC (calculated as NA/W1) of RCFA increased with no changes in the RC of RCCA and the NA of RCFA during CPT compared with baseline. The AIs from both arteries increased significantly after CPT. These results suggested that acute CPT has opposing effects on cerebral and peripheral vascular resistances, with the former decreased and the latter increased. The RCs from RCCA and RCFA are more associated with the changes of cerebral and peripheral vascular resistances, respectively, than the NA and AI, and the RC is of guiding value in assessing DVR.

Abstract:
The Royal College of Pathologists (RCPA) and then RCPA Quality Assurance Programs Pty Ltd (RCPAQAP), a company independent from but aligned with the RCPA, have been producing proficiency testing programs (PTP) for infectious diseases for 52 years. This involves sending infectious disease material in surveys to over 80 countries worldwide throughout any year. The PTP panels are developed depending on the prevalence of diseases, which requires flexible panel composition and dynamic enrolments. The Defence Trade Controls Act was introduced in 2012 as part of a wider international regulatory counter-proliferation framework. In 2017, the inclusion of inactivated infectious diseases as controlled microorganisms in the Defence Strategic Goods List (DSGL) had the potential to completely disrupt the RCPAQAP business model in the provision of infectious disease PTP. Some strategies for mitigating this risk are discussed in this paper.

Full text
Abstract:
Le but de cette étude est de proposer une loi de commande permettant de contrôler la qualité d'un polymère en sortie de filière d'une extrudeuse bivis corotative. Pour atteindre cet objectif, nous avons élaboré un modèle dynamique capable de prédire le comportement du système par rapport aux différentes variables d'actions (vitesse des vis, débit d'alimentation, puissances de chauffe des fourreaux et le rapport d'entrée monomère-amorceur).
La modélisation a été réalisée en adoptant une démarche mixte alliant l'aspect mécanique des milieux continus à celui du génie des procédés. Le schéma d'écoulement intrinsèquement à paramètres distribués, est approché par une cascade de réacteurs parfaitement agités avec reflux. Les caractéristiques de l'écoulement sont issues de la mécanique des fluides. Le modèle global est alors obtenu en écrivant sur chaque RCPA de la cascade les bilans d'énergie sur la matière, les fourreaux et les vis puis les bilans de masse globaux et par espèce.
Cette étape de modélisation a été suivie par une phase d'analyse dans le but de simplifier les phénomènes les moins influents sur l'évolution des variables d'état du procédé (température, pression, viscosité,...) puis par une étape de réduction de modèle.

Enfin, la synthèse de la loi de commande a été effectuée à partir du linéarisé autour d'un point de fonctionnement de ce modèle réduit. La technique de commande utilisée a été la synthèse Hinf, avec modèle de référence sur la trajectoire en viscosité. Cette synthèse a abouti à une loi de commande satisfaisante fonctionnant à la fois sur le modèle linéarisé mais aussi sur le modèle complet non linéaire au voisinage du domaine de fonctionnement.

Abstract:
La première partie de ce travail traite de la modélisation et de la simulation de l'hydrodynamique et du transfert de matière dans les réacteurs à lit fixe arrosés. Le milieu poreux a été considéré comme un continuum par prise de moyenne des équations de transport microscopiques. Différents modèles prenant en compte l'effet de paroi de notre système ont été proposés, résolus et confrontés à des résultats expérimentaux. Les résultats obtenus sont assez satisfaisants, et ont permis de choisir les modèles les plus appropriés. Des modèles plus complexes, établis grâce aux résultats expérimentaux, devraient permettre d'améliorer la qualité des simulations. Dans une seconde partie, l'étude locale de l'hydrodynamique a été menée, essentiellement à l'aide de microélectrodes insérées dans un pore, qui permettent la mesure par voie électrochimique des gradients de vitesse. En écoulement de liquide seul, les limites des régimes d'écoulement ont été déterminées. On a pu confirmer le comportement turbulent à fort débit et caractériser l'écoulement du fluide au sein d'un pore, notamment à l'aide des auto- et intercorrélations des mesures. Enfin, nous avons utilisé un modèle de renouvellement de surface couplé à la méthode VITA (Variable Interval Time Averaging) pour calculer le gradient de vitesse moyen. En écoulement gaz-liquide, la technique électrochimique est moins intéressante. Nous avons par contre pu caractériser les écoulements pulsés à l'aide de sondes de pression en paroi.

Abstract:
Addition is the most important function in arithmetic and logical operations. Approximate Computing can be used to reduce the number of transistors, delay and power constraints in VLSI design, which makes the use of approximate adders possible in error-tolerant applications. Existing Approximate Reverse Carry Propagate Adder designs [1] have proved to be advantageous in improving these constraints. A new design of Reverse Carry Propagate Adder has been proposed using Modified-Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) technique [7]. A 4-bit Multiplier has also been designed using this RCPFA and results verified with Xilinx Tool. Proposed circuit design simulations have been carried out in 45-nm process technology using Cadence Virtuoso. The results indicate 57% and 44% reduction in Power and Delay respectively.

Abstract:
AbstractWell#1 was completed as horizontal oil producer with Openhole Stand-Alone Sandscreens (OHSAS) across a thin reservoir with average thickness of 20ft in Field B. The first Autonomous Inflow Control Device (AICD) in PETRONAS was installed to ensure balanced contribution across horizontal zones with permeability contrasts and to prevent early water and gas breakthrough. Integrated real-time reservoir mapping-while-drilling technology for well placement optimization combined with industry-leading inflow control simulator for AICD placement were opted. The early well tests post drilling showed promising results with production rate doubled the expected rate with no sand production, low water cut and lower Gas to Oil Ratio (GOR).Reservoir Management Plan (RMP) for this oil rim requires continuous gas injection into gas cap and water injection into aquifer. However, due to low gas injection uptime caused by prolonged injection facilities constraints, the well's watercut continued to increase steadily from 0% to 80% within a year of production despite prudent surveillance and controlling of production during injector's downtime. After the gas injection performance has improved, the well was beaned up as part of oil rim management for withdrawal balancing. Unfortunately, a month later, the production rate showed a sudden spike with significantly low wellhead pressure, followed by hairline leak on its choke valve and leak at Crude Oil Transfer Pump (COTP) recycle line. Sand analysis by particle size distribution (PSD) confirmed OHSAS failure, while the high gas rate from well test results confirmed AICD failure.A multidisciplinary investigation team was immediately formed to determine the root cause of the failure event. Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) method was opted to determine the causes of failures, including the reanalyzing of the OHSAS and AICD completion design. The well operating strategy was also reviewed thoroughly by utilizing the well parameters trending provided in the Exceptional Based Surveillance (EBS) Process Information (PI) ProcessBook.Thorough RCFA concluded that frequent platform interruptions and improper well start-up practices have created abrupt pressure changes in the wellbore, which has likely destabilized the natural sand pack around the OHSAS and created frequent burst of sand influx across AICDs. The operating of a high gas-oil ratio (GOR) and high watercut sand prone well without pre-determined AICD sand erosion toleration envelope have also likely contributed to the failure of AICDs. The delay in detection of OHSAS failure in Well#1 due to ineffective sand monitoring method thus resulted in severe sand production which caused severe leak at its choke valve and COTP recycle line.

Abstract:
Abstract A prolific gas producer in Sarawak waters was shut-in and idle due to a tubing leak resulting in a significant decline in the total hub production. The well remained idle and required immediate remedial action to meet the contractual sales target. Hence, an expandable tubing patch was proposed to isolate the leak and reactivate the well faster. This paper presents data gathered to identify leak location, tubing patch design, and installation using real-time coil tubing. Several logging surveys were performed to detect leak depth including caliper log, leak detection log (LDL), and downhole camera run; since no pressure build-up was observed post bleed-off tubing and casing, while SCSSV was in closed-state. Running caliper log could not indicate severe metal loss of 7-inch tubing, hypothesizing that the leak could be of a smaller dimension. Therefore, LDL was conducted, indicating temperature gradient and acoustic energy changes at a single depth location of 247 ft.THF, above SCSSV. Utilizing the leak depth marker from acoustic log, a downhole camera was staged to verify geometry of tubing leak. Root cause failure analysis (RCFA) was carried out for this tubing anomaly using diagnostics data to determine the possibility of UHP-17Cr-110 tubing failure. The likelihood of tubing failure is attributed to two main causes namely oxygen corrosion cracking and stress corrosion cracking. Based on RCFA outcome, Hastelloy C276, a nickel-molybdenum-chromium superalloy with the addition of tungsten was selected for the patch material, which is V0 rated, internal gas-tight qualification for temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius and 5,000 psi. Moreover, this patch material satisfies the well conditions at approximately 20% CO2, 200 ppm H2S, 1000 mg/L salinity, and varying Hg concentrations from 800-2,000 ug/Nm3. The design of patch has been improved by adding AFLAS elastomer for the whole exterior of patch to eliminate contacts between the two metals: reducing the risk of galvanic corrosion. Real-time coiled tubing application was selected for setting the patch to ensure accurate depth-sensing control. Additionally, patch is a rig less intervention technique that will not disrupt the production from the existing wells sharing the same drilling platform. Generally, for high-rate gas wells, economic indicators seem lucrative with tubing patch application, where the payout can be achieved within a month of continuous production. The first step in ensuring the success of tubing patch is by running right diagnostics tools such as leak detection logging and downhole camera run, since multi-finger caliper analysis alone would not locate the leak depth and the leak geometry precisely. Valid design inputs are quintessential for the fitting recommendation of tubing patch design which includes accurate reservoir and fluid properties to ensure sustainability of the expandable tubing patch application.

Abstract:
Abstract Effective well management and reliability are fundamental to ensuring high well production uptime with the attendant benefit of minimizing unscheduled volume loss. Well equipment reliability is impacted by the scope and frequency of preventive maintenance (PM) in place. The optimum PM frequency is one that maximizes incremental value with reduced equipment failures. While defining the PM program, due consideration must be given to the well risk (business and safety) which impacts consequence level of failures. In matured assets with high well counts, PM programs should be structured to maximize uptime of wells with significant volume contribution, critical gas producers to support gas lift systems and injectors while also minimizing process safety risk on all wells. These wells are referred to as top tier wells. This paper defines criteria for selecting top tier wells. It also focuses on using a Prevent-Detect- Respond-Recover (PDRR) approach in defining a well equipment PM program that meets industry and local regulatory requirements to drive improved reliability of the top tier wells. Prevent-Detect initiatives leverage Root-Cause-Failure-Analysis (RCFA) data to minimize the likelihood of equipment failure, and by extension, provide a focused surveillance system to ensure failures are detected before equipment are taken out of service. Whereas Respond-Recover initiatives provide a defined response plan to well equipment reliability issues through low complexity intervention actions and subsequent detailed repairs to correct detected failures with minimal downtime impact. The benefit of a top tier approach to PM is to drive incremental business benefit for the asset through optimization of existing resources.

Abstract:
Abstract Surface Controlled Subsurface Safety Valves (SCSSV) is a critical completion accessory to maintain the Safe Operation Envelope (SOE) of the well and ensuring the production sustainability. In PCSB, it is a requirement that SCSSVs are tested on specific periods to ensure this safety device meet the acceptance requirement as per company guideline. Monitoring and maintaining the SCSSVs is proven to be challenging for E1 gas fields, located in Offshore Malaysia. Wells in E1 field, recently transferred operatorship, is an aging field producing since August 1982. The wells are equipped with Wireline Retrievable SCSSV (WRSCSSV). Within few months after operating this well, few cases of SCSSVs inoperability were encountered, resulted in significant gas production loss from E1. The main problems with SCSSV are: Control line hydraulic pressure unable to build up and maintain, hence unable to flow the well as SCSSV unable to open. Abnormal hydraulic return observed. E11 wells tripped due to Wellhead Control Panel Hydraulic pressure header hit low-ow trip setpoint. Inoperable after well close in, indication of control line leak. Immediate action taken to rectify include retrieving the WRSCSSV and installing redressed old WRSCSSV, injecting and displacing of Pressure Activated Sealant through control line to patch leak point. Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) conducted on the wells identified preliminary factors that lead to E1 SCSSV issues: Frequent SCSSV cycling with high control line pressure in depleted well pressure (Frequent well tripping and monthly Corrosion Inhibitor batching activity requires close in and opening of SCSSV). Non-compatible SCSSV elastomeric parts with production & CI batching chemical. Wear & tear and corrosion due to valve age (manufactured in 1982 & 1985). Worn out seal bore of BP-6 landing nipple. Short term solution such as reviewing the recommended hydraulic line opening pressure, downhole visual inspection, pressure activated sealant and caliper survey to confirm BP-6 Landing Nipple seal bore damage, Swellable Packer/O-ring (External) and re-dress using non-upgraded Elastomers (Internal) had been planned. Contingency for subsurface controlled SSV and replacement using new WRSCSSV had been put in place as long-term solution. This paper describes operator experience in managing the challenges in maintaining SCSSV operability, diagnostic and solution recommended to avoid production deferment due to this issue.
