Abstract:

These are the first two volumes out of the ten planned by the National Museum in Cracow, which together will constitute the publication of the body of work donated to the museum by Feliks “Manggha” Jasieński. One volume presents the collector’s creative biography and the history of his various collections. There are also attempts to interpret the nature of the content of his collections, mainly woodcuts and other Japanese objects, as well as modern Polish art, paintings, engravings (together with a set of European engravings) and decorative arts. The second volume is the first part of a monumental catalogue of the collection which covers drawings, watercolours and pastels by Polish artists. The subsequent eight volumes are envisaged to cover particular parts of this extensive collection (of Polish, European and Eastern paintings, drawings, sculpture, engravings and decorative arts). This enormous undertaking marks the 100th anniversary of Jasieński’s donation (1920–2020), and, as Zofia Gułubiew put it, is intended to visualise and fix the extent and variety of the collection in the public’s awareness. The publishing project by the National Museum in Cracow is extremely valuable, and it should be hoped that it will succeed as intended.

Abstract:

IntroductionParkinsonian motor signs are the most frequent of the genuine motor abnormalities present in drug-naïve patients with schizophrenia, and are also present in patients with a first-episode of psychosis (FEP).ObjectiveTo study whether there are differences in basal ganglia volumes depending on the presence of Parkinsonism in FEP.MethodsForty-six patients with a FEP were included in the study. Twenty-three controls were included to normalise patients’ brain volume data. Parkinsonism was assessed with the UKU scale. Brain volumes were obtained with MRI (1.5 Tesla Siemens Avanto). Reconstruction and volumetric segmentation was made with the Freesurfer© software (http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/). Patients were divided into two groups, considering the presence/absence of Parkinsonism (UKU total score cutoff point = 4). Patients have been treated with antipsychotics a mean of less than 2 months. There were not significant differences in the total exposure to antipsychotics between both groups. ANCOVAS were performed including gender as covariate.ResultsPatients with Parkinsonism showed a trend towards significance to exhibit reduced volumes in the left caudate and right putamen (Fig. 1).ConclusionsFEP patients who exhibit Parkinsonian signs tend to show reduced left caudate and right putamen volumes in the early phases of psychotic illness, after correcting by gender.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

IntroductionDespite strong evidence that the pathophysiology of tic disorders (TD) involves structural and functional disturbances of the basal ganglia, inconsistent findings from several TD imaging studies have supported contradictory conclusions.ObjectiveTo find brain structural differences between children with of TD and the health children and verify the pathogenesis hypothesis of that basal ganglia play an important role in this disorder.MethodThe right handedness, first-episode TD children were chosen. Yale global tic severity scale (YGTSS) was used to assess the tic severity. MRI scan was performed on TD children and the controls. The volumes of caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus and total intracranial volume were measured on high resolution MR images. We compared the volumes, relative volumes and asymmetry index, AI between groups.ResultsTotally 11 patients finished this study with two excluded for the unclear image caused by tic and 18 subjects (9 TD patients and 9 controls) were finally analyzed. The right globus pallidus is significantly larger in TD patients. The volumes of left caudate increased significantly in both TD patients and controls. There was no significant difference in asymmetry index between two groups, relative volumes did not correlate significantly with the severity of tic and the course of disease.ConclusionThe right globus pallidus may be the primary pathological change of TD. Asymmetry indexes between the two groups are not significantly different. The relative volume of any structure of basal ganglia has no significant correlation with the severity of tic and the course of disease.

Full text

Abstract:

The authorized history of the Stratford Shakespearean Festival was originally intended to commemorate its 25th anniversary in 1978, when the festival was enjoying critical and fiscal success under Robin Phillips. When the history finally appeared in 1985 it covered thirty seasons. The five-year expansion changed the nature of the Stratford story because those extra five years included the crisis of 1980 and John Hirsch’s initial seasons with their ballooning deficits and declining attendance. Providing sufficient coverage of these recent events necessitated publishing Stratford in two volumes. Scholar/ critic John Pettigrew wrote most of book one, which covers up to the end of Michael Langham’s artistic directorship in 1968. After Pettigrew’s death, Southam critic Jamie Portman agreed to complete the project and wrote most of volume two in the same careful judicious manner as his predecessor.

Abstract:

The effect of pressure, solids concentration and volume of slurry on total and two-phase filtrate volumes was investigated to establish optimum conditions for routine laboratory filtration. Full factorial design with three levels was utilized to obtain 27 unique experiments. The slurry used was prepared by mixing crushed and sieved bentonite clay of 75 microns with distilled water at different concentrations as obtained from the design of experiment. A filter press was utilized and the results were used to calibrate a two-phase exponential equation for sludge filtration to extract the first and second stage filtrate volumes. The total filtrate volume improved with increasing applied pressure and decreasing solids concentration. A slurry volume of 0.22 litres was found to be ideal. Similar effects were noticed on the first and second stage filtrate volume except that an optimum was discovered at 0.18 litres of slurry. The second stage filtration produced an upward curve with a point of inflection at a range of 0.18 to 0.22 litres of slurry. The second stage filtrate volume is also discovered to be directly proportional to the total filtrate volume. This connection may be considered for use to assess the filterability of other slurries.

Abstract:

The books “Indonesian Gastronomy Volumes 1 and 2,” written by Professor Murdijati-Gardjito and colleagues, are interesting because they are among the first gastronomic books authored by experts in Food Science and Technology. While representing a coherent work, the two volumes focus on different aspects. The first one explains aspects of Indonesian culinary history at the national and global levels, including the changes that have taken place in the contemporary era. The second volume pays attention to the technical aspects of physical changes and chemical reactions in the food-making process. Volume 2 also describes Indonesian cuisine based on geographical location and ethnic affiliation.

Abstract:

Background The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted medical care in the US, leading to a significant drop in utilization of some types of health services. We sought to quantify how the pandemic influenced obstetrics and gynecology care at two large health care organizations. Materials and methods Comparing 2020 to 2019, we quantified changes to obstetrics and gynecology care at two large health care organizations in the United States, Allegheny Health Network (in western Pennsylvania) and Johns Hopkins University (in Maryland). The analysis considered the numbers of surgical encounters, in-person visits, and telemedicine visits. For each system, we quantified temporal changes in surgical volume, in-person and telemedicine visits, and financial impact related to professional fee revenues. We used segmented regression to evaluate longitudinal effects. Results At both institutions, the volume of care was similar in the first few months of 2020 compared to 2019 but dropped precipitously in March 2020. From April to June 2020, surgical volumes were 67% of the same period in 2019 at Allegheny Health and 48% of the same period in 2019 at Johns Hopkins. During that same interval, televisits accounted for approximately 21% of all ambulatory care at both institutions. Although surgical and ambulatory volumes recovered in the second half of 2020, annual surgical volumes in 2020 were significantly lower than 2019 at both institutions (p<0.05) and 2020 ambulatory volumes remained significantly lower at Johns Hopkins (p = .0006). Overall, revenues in 2020 were 91% of 2019 revenues for both institutions. Conclusions Obstetrical and gynecologic ambulatory visits and gynecologic surgeries were sharply reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although care volumes returned to 2019 levels in late 2020, we observed an overall reduction in the volume of care provided and a 9% reduction in professional revenue for both institutions.

Abstract:

Oil discharge prevention and contingency plans (ODPCPs) have been required under Alaska statutes and regulations for oil exploration, production, storage, and transportation facilities since 1992. BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) has prepared and submitted their North Slope ODPCPs (Milne Point, Endicott, Greater Prudhoe Bay, and Northstar) as a single volume for each facility under these requirements. However, in 2011, when the four plans were renewed, BPXA elected to present their ODPCPs in two volumes for each facility. The purpose of this organizational change from one to two volumes was to focus information in each volume; the first volume is a stand-alone Emergency Action Plan for spill responders, dedicated to spill response planning and preparedness, and the second volume is dedicated to spill prevention requirements and procedures. The 2-volume edition allows BPXA's plan writers, operators, and regulators to concentrate on specific response or prevention topics and regulatory compliance. The 2-volume plan is easier to use and revise through the amendment process. This approach is allowed under Alaska regulations and was embraced by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. Federal regulators (Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, US Environmental Protection Agency, US Coast Guard, and US Department of Transportation) have reviewed and approved the 2-volume response plans as well. According to regulators, with such large ODPCPs, the effort to maintain publication efficiency during public review creates a potential risk of confusion or lack of sufficient detail, which may lead to comments that focus on form or style, rather than content. Working with two volumes circumvented this potential problem. Due to the size and lengthy history of the facilities, an comprehensive Alaska regulations governing the contents of ODPCPs, two volumes allowed BPXA to include all of the necessary information for the plans without creating a storage or ergonomic problem for the reviewers. Regular users of the ODPCPs at the BPXA facilities have found that working with a smaller, more focused volume is more efficient.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Several studies have indicated that forest characteristics can be accurately predicted using airborne laser scanner (ALS) data, but there are very few studies in which species-specific forest characteristics have been estimated. This article compares two approaches for determining species-specific volumes at plot level by combining ALS data with aerial photographs. The first approach consists of two stages: (1) prediction of total volume using ALS data, and (2) assignment of this total volume to tree species by fuzzy classification and aerial photographs, in which three fuzzy classification methods were tested. In the second approach, volumes by tree species and the total volume are predicted simultaneously using a nonparametric k-most similar neighbor (k-MSN) method based on both ALS data and aerial photographs in one phase. The test area, located in Finland, consists of 463 sample plots. Species-specific volumes were estimated for pine, spruce, and the deciduous trees as a species group, total volume being the sum of the species-specific volumes. The k-MSN method produced considerably more accurate estimates for the species-specific volumes than any fuzzy classification method, the relative RMSEs for the volumes of pine, spruce, and deciduous trees being 45.50%, 61.98%, and 92.30%, respectively, and that for the total volume 23.86%.

Abstract:

Abstract BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that produces real-time thermal damage estimates of ablation (TDE). Orthogonal TDE-MRI slices provides an opportunity to mathematically estimate ablation volume. OBJECTIVE To mathematically model TDE volumes and validate with post-24 hours MRI ablation volumes. METHODS Ablations were performed with the Visualase Laser Ablation System (Medtronic). Using ellipsoidal parameters determined for dual-TDEs from orthogonal MRI planes, TDE volumes were calculated by two definite integral methods (A and B) implemented in Matlab (MathWorks). Post 24-hours MRI ablative volumes were measured in OsiriX (Pixmeo) by two-blinded raters and compared to TDE volumes via paired t-tests and Pearson’s correlations. RESULTS Twenty-two ablations for 20 patients with various intracranial pathologies were included. Average TDE volumes calculated with Method A was 3.44 ± 1.96 cm3 and with Method B was 4.83 ± 1.53 cm3. Method A TDE volumes were significantly different than post-24 hours volumes (P < 0.001). Method B TDE volumes were not significantly different than post-24 hours volumes (P = 0.39) and strongly correlated with each other (r = 0.85, R2 = 0.72, P < 0.0001). A total of 8/22 (36%) method A versus 17/22 (77%) method B TDE volumes were within 25% of the post 24-hours ablative volume. CONCLUSION We present the first iteration of a viable mathematical method that integrates dual-plane TDEs to calculate volumes resembling 24 hours post-operative volumes. Future iterations of our algorithm will need to determine additional calculated variables that improve the performance of volumetric calculations.

"Asymmetrical allocation of mitochondrial DNA to blastomeres during the first two cleavages in mouse embryos." Reproduction, Fertility and Development 22, no. 8 (2010): 1247. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/rd10076.

Full text

Abstract:

A recent report showed higher oxygen consumption, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and mitochondrial localisation in trophectoderm cells than in the inner cell mass of mouse blastocysts. We hypothesised that this phenomenon was due to the asymmetrical distribution of mitochondria in the blastomeres during the earlier stages. Oocytes, 2-cell embryos and 4-cell embryos were analysed to determine the volume, ATP content and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number in the whole egg and individual blastomeres. Significant differences were detected in the volumes of cytoplasm and ATP contents between blastomeres from the 2-cell and 4-cell embryos. Moreover, whilst remaining stable in whole embryos, mtDNA copy number differed between blastomeres, indicating that mitochondria in oocytes are unevenly delivered into the daughter blastomeres during the first two cleavages. Although their volume and ATP content were not correlated, there was a significant correlation between volume and mtDNA copy number in 2- and 4-cell blastomeres. These results indicate that the number of mitochondria delivered to blastomeres during early cleavage is not precisely equal, suggesting that the allocation of mitochondria into daughter blastomeres is affected by uneven cytoplasmic distribution during cytokinesis in the oocyte and mother blastomeres.

Abstract:

We present an analysis of wave energy devices with air-filled compressible submerged volumes, where variability of volume is achieved by means of a horizontal surface free to move up and down relative to the body. An analysis of bodies without power take-off (PTO) systems is first presented to demonstrate the positive effects a compressible volume could have on the body response. Subsequently, two compressible device variations are analysed. In the first variation, the compressible volume is connected to a fixed volume via an air turbine for PTO. In the second variation, a water column separates the compressible volume from another volume, which is fitted with an air turbine open to the atmosphere. Both floating and bottom-fixed, axisymmetric, configurations are considered, and linear analysis is employed throughout. Advantages and disadvantages of each device are examined in detail. Some configurations with displaced volumes less than 2000 m 3 and with constant turbine coefficients are shown to be capable of achieving 80% of the theoretical maximum absorbed power over a wave period range of about 4 s.

Abstract The two volumes of letters by Mikhail Lifschitz, recently published in Russian, reveal for the first time certain aspects of his relationship with György Lukács and his general intellectual and cultural role in the long history of Soviet aesthetics. The first volume contains all the known letters between Lifschitz and Lukács; the second volume contains the letters from Lifschitz to three of his younger colleagues. Both volumes throw considerable light on the development of Marxist aesthetics in the Soviet Union from the 1930s to the 1980s. The extensive commentaries and notes provide context for the various discussions in the letters and situate the main issues under consideration within the wider historical and social context of the period.

Abstract:

Abstract Estimating hyper-volumes of convex and non-convex sets are of interest in a number of areas. In this article we develop further a simple geometric Monte Carlo method, known also as the sample-mean method, which transforms the domain to an equivalent hyper-sphere with the same volume. We first examine the performance of the method to compute the volumes of star-convex unit balls and show that it gives accurate estimates of their volumes. We then examine the use of this method for computing the volumes of nonstar-shaped domains. In particular, we develop two algorithms, which couple the sample-mean method with algebraic and geometric techniques, to generate and compute the volumes of low-dimensional stability domains in parameter space.

Abstract:

Sequential exercise-gated cardiac blood pool scintigrams provide a noninvasive technique for evaluating the effect of therapeutic interventions on cardiac volumes and function only if both exercise periods are equivalent in the absence of an intervention. To assess whether they are indeed equivalent, 14 healthy subjects underwent gated blood pool scintigraphy during two maximal upright exercise periods separated by 60 min without changing position. Although resting cardiac output and blood pressure returned to base-line values 60 min after the first exercise period, mean resting heart rate was markedly higher (89.4 +/- 2.7 vs. 66.5 +/- 2.5 beats/min, P less than 0.001) and upright cardiac volumes lower [39.1 +/- 4.9 vs. 56.3 +/- 6.0 ml, P less than 0.001, for end-systolic volume (ESV) and 112.6 +/- 8.0 vs. 144.9 +/- 9.0 ml, P less than 0.001, for end-diastolic volume (EDV)] than before the first exercise period. These differences persisted during low levels of the subsequent exercise but not at high and maximum work loads. Cardiac volumes and heart rate 60 min after an identical exercise protocol in a second group of 22 subjects who received propranolol, 0.15 mg/kg iv, after their initial exercise, however, were the same as those preexercise. Thus higher sympathetic tone may be responsible for the persistently higher heart rate and decreased cardiac volumes after exercise, and the assumption that cardiac volumes and function are similar during two closely spaced sequential exercise studies is not always valid.

Abstract:

In 2011 Prof. Dr. Zoya Mladenova published a major monograph on the state and development of neoclassical theory in the world in the twentieth and early twenty-first century. Her second monograph, on the "paradigm shift" (transition) in economic theory in Bulgaria in the years after 1989, has recently been published. The two editions are thematically linked: the first is about the dominant theory in the world, the second - about the transition to it in Bulgaria. In this sense, both in terms of content and in terms of the author's conception (see p. 13 of the first monograph and pp. 3-4 of the second), the two monographs can be seen as a comprehensive study published in two volumes on issues in the history and state of economic theory in Bulgaria and in the world. There is no similar two-volume edition in the Bulgarian literature.

Abstract:

Purpose: To evaluate the volume of bone cyst using the planimetry method of the Cavalieri principle. Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on data from 25 computed tomography (CT) images of patients with bone cyst. The volume of the cysts was calculated by two independent observers using the planimetry method. The procedures were repeated 1 month later by each observer. Results: The overall mean volume of the bone cyst was 29.25 ± 25.86 cm3. The mean bone cyst volumes calculated by the first observer for the first and second sessions were 29.18 ± 26.14 and 29.27 ± 26.19 cm3, respectively. The mean bone cyst volumes calculated by the second observer for the first and second sessions were 29.32 ± 26.36 and 29.23 ± 26.36 cm3, respectively. Statistical analysis showed no difference and high agreement between the first and second measurements of both observers. The Bland–Altman plots showed strong intraobserver and interobserver concordance in the measurement of the bone cyst volume. The mean total time necessary to obtain the cyst volume by the two observers was 5.27 ± 2.30 min. Conclusion: The bone cyst of the patients can be objectively evaluated using the planimetry method of the Cavalieri principle on CT. This method showed high interobserver and intraobserver agreement. This volume measurement can be used to evaluate cyst remodeling, including complete healing and cyst recurrence.

Abstract:

Object. The aim of this study was to construct a model of changes in orbital volume that occur throughout childhood from the age of 1 month to 15 years, which could be used for comparative studies of disease states affecting orbital growth. Methods. Using the procedure of segmentation on magnetic resonance images obtained in 67 healthy children, orbital volume was measured and plotted against age. During the first few months of life left orbital volume is on average 15 cm3 in male and 13 cm3 in female infants; these volumes increase to 26 cm3 and 24 cm3, respectively, by the time the child reaches 15 years of age. During the first few months of life right orbital volume is on average 16 cm3 in male and 13 cm3 in female infants; these volumes increase to 27 cm3 and 25 cm3, respectively, by the time the child is 15 years old. This represents an overall increase in orbital volume by a factor of 1.7 in boys and 1.8 in girls. By the time the child has reached 5 years of age, the orbital volume for both right and left sides has reached on average 77% of the volume seen at 15 years in both sexes. The differences between the two sides are not statistically significant for either sex. The change in orbital volume that is associated with age in general displays a linear pattern. Throughout childhood, orbital volumes are larger in boys than in girls, but share a similar growth pattern. The difference between the two sexes tends toward statistical significance during the first 5 years of life (left orbit p = 0.1, right orbit p = 0.04). Conclusions. During early childhood, orbital volume increases in a linear fashion, achieving a significant proportion of its final growth by the time the child is 5 years old.

The present article provides a brief historiographical analysis of the editorial year ‘Avram Iancu 150,’ which saw the publication of seven volumes of history, literature, poetry, critical literature, and drama dedicated to the hero of the Romanian Revolution of 1848–1849 in Transylvania. Four books were published by the Școala Ardeleană publishing house of Cluj-Napoca, the only publishing house in Romania to have undertaken a large-scale publishing project dedicated to restoring the life and memory of Avram Iancu for the 21st-century reader, two volumes were published by the Techno Media publishing house of Sibiu, and another volume by the Theosis publishing house of Oradea. Two of the six volumes are critical re-editions of works written in the first half of the 20th century by two distinguished personalities of Romanian culture: philosopher, writer and playwright Lucian Blaga and historian Silviu Dragomir. The other volumes were authored by writer Mircea Tomuș, critic and literary historian Mircea Popa, historian Lucian Giura, librarian Maria Grancea, and Father Ion Alexandru Mizgan of the Orthodox Church.

Abstract:

Monitoring and quantifying bone remodeling are of interest, for example, in correction osteotomies, delayed fracture healing pseudarthrosis, bone lengthening, and other instances. Seven patients who had operations to attach an Ilizarov-derived Taylor Spatial Frame to the tibia gave informed consent. Each patient was examined by Na18F PET/CT twice, at approximately six weeks and three months after the operation. A validated software tool was used for the following processing steps. The first and second CT volumes were aligned in 3D and the respective PET volumes were aligned accordingly. In the first PET volume spherical volumes of interest (VOIs) were delineated for the crural fracture and normal bone and transferred to the second PET volume forSUVmaxevaluation. This method potentially provides clinical insight into questions such as, when has the bone remodeling progressed well enough to safely remove the TSF? and when is intervention required, in a timelier manner than current methods? For example, in two patients who completed treatment, theSUVmaxbetween the first and second PET/CT examination decreased by 42% and 13%, respectively. Further studies in a larger patient population are needed to verify these preliminary results by correlating regional Na18F PET measurements to clinical and radiological findings.

Apparent molal volumes, [Formula: see text], of secondary and tertiary amines and linear hydrocarbons were determined in benzene at 25 °C, using a vibrating tube densimeter. These quantities have been extrapolated to infinite dilution to obtain partial molal volumes. The contribution to partial molal volume of the amine groups, calculated using a simple additive scheme, [Formula: see text], were interpreted in terms of conformational effects present in these molecules. A first attempt to find a measure of the contribution to the partial molal volume of the specific interaction amine–benzene in tertiary and secondary amines was made. The results agree well in the two different approaches used.

Abstract:

The last years of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s are known as the “era of one-yen books” in the history of Japanese book printing. One-yen books were serial subscription publications, with the price of one yen per volume. The first such publication was the Complete Works of Contemporary Japanese Literature (Kindai Nihon Bungaku Zenshū), launched by Kaizōsha publishing house in 1926. The series was very successful with at least 250,000 subscribers. The “one-yen editions race” was initiated: many publishing houses began releasing their own one-yen series as early as the following year. The most commercially successful among the one-yen books (at least 400,000 copies) was the Complete Works of World Literature (Sekai bungaku zenshū) published by the Shinchōsha publishing house in 1927–1932.The Complete Works of World Literature consists of 57 volumes in two parts (38 volumes of the first part were published in 1927–1930, and then more 19 volumes were added, composing the second part of the publication). The books of the series had a hard cover and a thought-out design and were supposed to serve not only for reading, but also for the decoration of the house and the demonstration of the owner’s status.The series represents one of the possible canons of world literature. The time frame of the presented works is from the 14th century (the first volume is Dante’s Divine comedy) to the present (the last volume contains six works, five of them written in the 1920s, while the volume was released in 1929). The series includes prose, drama, and, to a lesser extent, poetry. The volumes of the series have a fairly extensive apparatus (prefaces, comments in some volumes, portraits of authors, monthly attachments tucked into the pages of the volumes). World literature is presented as Western literature. Translations of the works of Western literature played an important role in the formation of national Japanese literature. The success of this series also demonstrated the readers’ great interest in literary translations, especially in the translations of modern literature.

Full text

Abstract:

Predictive painting is a numerical algorithm that spreads information in 3D volumes according to the local structure of seismic events. The algorithm consists of two steps. First, local spatially variable inline and crossline slopes of seismic events are estimated by the plane-wave-destruction method. Next, a seed trace is inserted in the volume, and the information contained in that trace is spread inside the volume, thus automatically “painting” the data space. Immediate applications of this technique include automatic horizon picking and flattening in applications to both prestack and poststack seismic data analysis. Synthetic and field data tests demonstrate the effectiveness of predictive painting.

Full text

Abstract:

We analyzed transmission electron micrographs of human lung mast cells by digitized planimetry and point counting to determine the cross-sectional areas of two distinct cytoplasmic organelles: specific granules and lipid bodies. Specific granules have a limiting membrane and often contain one or more cylindrical scroll-like inclusions. By contrast, lipid bodies are on average much larger than granules and lack both limiting membranes and inclusions. The measured cross-sectional areas of lipid bodies and scroll-containing granules were converted to equivalent volumes, and the noise in the frequency distribution of these volumes was smoothed using a moving bin technique. This analysis revealed (a) a periodic, multimodal distribution of granule equivalent volumes in which the modes fell at volumes that were integral multiples of the volume defined by the first mode (the "unit volume"), and (b) a modal granule equivalent volume frequency that occurred at a magnitude equal to four "unit volumes." Thus, specific granules appear to be composed of units of a narrowly fixed volume. Furthermore, the mean volume of intragranule inclusions was 0.0061 mu3, a value very similar to that calculated for the "unit volume" (0.0071 mu3). This result suggests that each "unit volume" comprising the individual scroll-type granules contains (or is capable of generating or accommodating) a single scroll-like inclusion. In contrast to the specific granules, mast cell lipid bodies lack a periodic, multimodal volume distribution. Taken together, these findings suggest that the volumes of human lung mast cell granules and lipid bodies are regulated by distinct mechanisms.

Abstract:

Simultaneous washouts of He, N2, and SF6 were monitored during jet ventilation with tidal volumes of 50-200 ml and rates of 1-2 Hz. Gas concentrations were measured from the trachea and from a lower lobe bronchus in six baboons by mass spectrometry. Washouts using large tidal volumes approximated single exponential decays with the relative exponential rates of decay being He fastest, SF4 slowest, and N2 intermediate. Washouts using smaller tidal volumes demonstrated a two-phase exponential decay pattern. During the fast phase, the relative exponential rates of decay were He slowest, SF6 fastest, and N2 intermediate, the reverse order seen during large-volume washouts. During the slow phase, the relative exponential rates of decay were He fastest, SF4 slowest, and N2 intermediate, the same order seen during large-volume washouts. The magnitude of the first phase observed from the lower lobe bronchus was less than that observed from the trachea. These data are consistent with a serial two-compartment transport model incorporating a limitation of molecular diffusion between the peripheral and proximal compartments. The more rapid clearance of less diffusible gases from the central airways during the first phase of washout was due to slower transport from the alveoli to the central airways rather than faster transport from the central airways to the airway opening.

Abstract:

Background. We report here a study examining the relationships between insight and psychopathology, cognitive performance, brain volume and co-morbid depression in 251 patients experiencing a first episode of psychosis, who were then randomly assigned to 2 years of double-blind treatment with either olanzapine or haloperidol.Method. Repeated measures of insight were obtained at baseline and 12, 24, 52 and 104 weeks by the Insight and Treatment Attitudes Questionnaire (ITAQ).Results. Older age, female gender and white ethnicity were associated with more insight. Higher total, positive, negative and general psychopathology scores on the Positive and Negative Syndromes Scale (PANSS) were associated with less insight. Higher depression scores were associated with more insight. Better neurocognitive function and large brain volumes were associated with more insight. More insight throughout the study was associated with longer time to medication non-adherence. However, baseline insight was not significantly related to the probability of discontinuing the study before 2 years. Insight improved significantly over the course of the study, but the improvement in insight was not significantly different between the two antipsychotic treatment groups.Conclusions. Multiple factors contribute to insight. Patients experiencing a first episode of psychosis who have little insight are at increased risk of discontinuing their medication.

Abstract:

PURPOSE This analysis was performed to determine the most appropriate volume that should be encompassed by thoracic radiation treatments (TRTs) for patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LSSCLC) who have responded to initial chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review of all patients (N = 67) with LSSCLC who were not entered onto a research protocol and were treated at our institution between the years of 1982 and 1990 was performed. Fifty-nine of 67 patients had adequate information regarding the size of the tumor before the start of chemotherapy (computed tomographic [CT] scan of chest or chest x-ray), the size of the tumor before TRT, and the TRT field size based on a simulation radiography. All 59 patients were treated with cyclophosphamide-based chemotherapy, and TRT was generally delivered concomitantly with chemotherapy following two to three cycles of chemotherapy alone. RESULTS Of 59 patients, 28 were treated with TRT field sizes that encompassed postchemotherapy tumor volumes, and 31 patients were treated with TRT field sizes that encompassed prechemotherapy tumor volumes (defined as a volume that included at least a 1.5-cm margin on the prechemotherapy tumor volume). Nineteen patients had an intrathoracic recurrence of disease as the first site of recurrent small-cell carcinoma: 10 of 31 patients treated with TRT fields that encompassed prechemotherapy tumor volumes and nine of 28 patients treated with TRT fields that encompassed postchemotherapy tumor volumes. For the 28 patients treated with TRT fields that encompassed postchemotherapy tumor volumes, the greatest distance that the prechemotherapy tumor volume (without margins) extended beyond the edge of the TRT field was 0.5 to 5.0 cm, with a median of 2.5 cm. All 19 of the intrathoracic recurrences were in-field failures, although two patients (one prechemotherapy volume and one postchemotherapy volume) did have concurrent pleural effusions. CONCLUSION These results indicate that the use of TRT fields that encompass postchemotherapy tumor volumes does not increase the risk of marginal failures or intrathoracic failures outside the TRT field.

Full text

Abstract:

At resting end expiration [functional residual capacity (FRC)], the actions of the left and right hemidiaphragms on the lung are synergistic. However, the synergism decreases in magnitude as muscle tension decreases. Therefore, the hypothesis was tested in anesthetized dogs that the degree of synergism between the two hemidiaphragms also decreases with increasing lung volume. In a first experiment, the changes in airway opening pressure (ΔPao) and abdominal pressure (ΔPab) obtained during simultaneous stimulation of the left and right phrenic nerves (measured changes in pressure) at different lung volumes were compared with the sum of the pressure changes produced by their separate stimulation (predicted changes in pressure). Although the pressure changes decreased markedly with increasing lung volume, the measured ΔPao and ΔPab were substantially greater than the predicted values at all lung volumes. The ratio of the measured to the predicted ΔPao, in fact, remained constant. In a second experiment, radiographic measurements showed that the fractional shortening of the muscle during bilateral contraction at high lung volumes was similar to that during unilateral contraction. During unilateral contraction at high lung volumes, however, the passive hemidiaphragm moved in the cranial direction, whereas, during unilateral contraction at FRC, it moved in the caudal direction. These observations indicate that 1) for a given muscle tension, the synergism between the two halves of the diaphragm is greater at high lung volumes than at FRC; and 2) this difference is primarily related to the greater distortion of the muscle configuration.

Abstract:

Pavement performance models play a vital role in any pavement management system. The Regional Government of Biscay (RGB) (Spain) manages a 1200 km road network and conducts pavement data collections, including the International Roughness Index (IRI) values. The aim of the paper is to develop an IRI performance model for two-lane roads with flexible pavement until the first maintenance and/or rehabilitation activity is performed. Due to the huge amount of available information, a deterministic model was selected. A literature review of deterministic models showed that, apart from age and traffic volumes, the pavement structure is a key factor. Therefore, it was decided to analyze the only road stretches whose entire pavement section was known (surface layer + base + subbase). Various variables related to age, traffic volumes and employed materials were introduced as possible factors. The multiple linear regression model with the highest coefficient of determination and all the variables significant included the real pavement age, the cumulated heavy traffic and the total thickness of bituminous layers. As the material employed in the surface layer could affect roughness progression, a qualitative variable was introduced to consider various surface materials. The model improved its accuracy, indicating that the surface layer material is also an influencing factor on IRI evolution.

Abstract: This essay focuses on a volume preserved at the library of the Kislak Center, Rare Books and Manuscripts (University of Pennsylvania) possesses in the fund Francis Campbell Macauley (fIC.D2352.Ei529t) a volume which gathers together the vernacularization of Dante’s De vulgari eloquentia by Gian Giorgio Trissino, published in 1529, and the Prose della volgar lingua by Pietro Bembo, in the 1525 editio princeps. The two volumes bear material traces of their ownership by Leonardo Buonarroti, grandson and universal heir of Michelangelo, and by his descendants Michelangelo the Younger and Filippo the Archaeologist. The study of the different handwritten notes on the pages of the volumes, of their content characteristics, and of their chronology; and an in-depth analysis on the biographies of Michelangelo and Leonardo Buonarroti allows us to hypothesize that the first owner of the two treatises was the great artist himself.

Abstract:

The report provides information about the publication of the first two volumes of the Complete Works and Letters of Kokhanovskaya (N. S. Sokhanskaya). It tells about the forgotten writer and her return to readers and researchers, made largely thanks to the efforts of O. L. Fetisenko — leading research fellow of the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The author of the message traces the history of scientists’ appeal to the heritage of Kokhanovskaya, briefly reviewes the content and composition of the two published volumes of the complete works and indicates the immediate plans of the publishers, indicated by them earlier.

Abstract:

This article concerns the classification, continuablity, boundedness, and existence of solutions for a system of first order nonlinear differential equations. First, we prove that all solutions of the system are eventually monotonic and can be separated into two classes. Then we discuss the continuability of solutions. After that we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness of all solutions. Also, we study the existence of monotone solutions in certain classes.
