Recombination is a key driver of genomic and phenotypic diversity in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa population during cystic fibrosis infection
No full textThe Cystic Fibrosis (CF) lung harbors a complex, polymicrobial ecosystem, in which Pseudomonas aeruginosa is capable of sustaining chronic infections, which are highly resistant to multiple antibiotics. Here, we investigate the phenotypic and genotypic diversity of 44 morphologically identical P. aeruginosa isolates taken from a single CF patient sputum sample. Comprehensive phenotypic analysis of isolates revealed large variances and trade-offs in growth, virulence factors and quorum sensing (QS) signals. Whole genome analysis of 22 isolates revealed high levels of intra-isolate diversity ranging from 5 to 64 SNPs and that recombination and not spontaneous mutation was the dominant driver of diversity in this population. Furthermore, phenotypic differences between isolates were not linked to mutations in known genes but were statistically associated with distinct recombination events. We also assessed antibiotic susceptibility of all isolates. Resistance to antibiotics significantly increased when multiple isolates were mixed together. Our results highlight the significant role of recombination in generating phenotypic and genetic diversification during in vivo chronic CF infection. We also discuss (i) how these findings could influence how patient-to-patient transmission studies are performed using whole genome sequencing, and (ii) the need to refine antibiotic susceptibility testing in sputum samples taken from patients with CF

Suharso, S.H., S.P.d., S.E., M.M.
LPG cargo is cargo that has special characteristics, one of them highly flamable nature. To cope with danger posed by LPG cargo evaporates, it needs Reliquefaction plant operation. Operation of this system as the efforts has made to overcome obstacles in order to maintain a fixed charge on the LPG liquid state. Thus the authors formulate the problem formulation 1) what are the factors causing the decline of Reliquefaction plant working in change the gas into a liquid cargo, 2) What efforts are made to maximize Reliquefaction plan. Fault tree analysis is a technique used to identify risks that contribute to the occurrence of a failure. This method is carried out with an approach that is top down, starting with the assumption of failure or loss of peak incidence then detailing causes a peak incidence reached a basic failure. Based on the results of research by the author to the decline in employment Reliquefaction plant in turning gas into a liquid cargo is dirty condensers, cooling of the intercooler not optimal cooling, valve positioners are not working properly.Meanwhile, efforts to maximize employment Reliquefaction plant is checking routine cleaning of the condenser appropriate working hours, checking the intercooler, valve positioner checks on a regular basis.

Conceptualizations of dignity at the end of life: exploring theoretical and cultural congruence with dignity therapy
No full textAim: To explore the conceptualization of patients' dignity in the context of end-of-life care in Taiwan.Background: Dignity therapy – a novel nurse-delivered psychotherapeutic intervention – has been demonstrated to have potential to alleviate terminal patients' psycho-existential distress in western countries. In Taiwan, over half of end-of-life patients experience psychological-spiritual suffering and dignity therapy might be helpful in improving this situation. Hence, a preliminary study to clarify Taiwanese conceptualizations of ‘dignity’ was conducted prior to planning a feasibility study to gauge the potential cultural fit of an intervention of this type.Design: Qualitative exploration.Methods: Nine people with terminal cancer and ten health professionals were recruited from palliative care services in 2008. In-depth interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. A hermeneutic approach was employed to analyse and interpret data.Findings: Being a valuable person is the core meaning of patients' dignity and this comprised intrinsic characteristics and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic characteristics of dignity encompassed living a moral life, having peace of mind and a sense of existence involving the perception of resignation to God's will. Extrinsic factors that influenced patients' dignity included illness-related distress, care delivery and the perception of being loved. A dynamic relationship between these elements determined the state of patients' dignity.Conclusion: The concept of dignity is culturally bound and understood differently in the Chinese and Western context; such differences should be considered when planning and delivering care. Modifications should be made to dignity therapy to ensure it is culturally congruent with Taiwanese patients' beliefs.<br/

No full textThermal environment and erosion of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
No full textInternational audienceAims. This paper focuses on how insolation affects the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko over its current orbit. We aim to better understand the thermal environment of the nucleus, in particular its surface temperature variations, erosion, relationship with topography, and how insolation affects the interior temperature for the location of volatile species (H2O and CO2).Methods. We have developed two thermal models to calculate the surface and subsurface temperatures of 67P over its 6.45-year orbit. The first model, with high resolution (300 000 facets), calculates surface temperatures, taking shadows and self-heating into account but ignoring thermal conductivity. The second model, with lower resolution (10 000 facets), includes thermal conductivity to estimate temperatures down to ~3 m below the surface.Results. The thermal environment of 67P is strongly influenced by its large obliquity (52°), which causes significant seasonal effects and polar nights. The northern hemisphere is the coldest region, with temperatures of 210–300 K. H2O is found in the first few centimetres, while CO2 is found deeper (~2 m) except during polar night around perihelion, when CO2 accumulates near the surface. Cliffs erode 3–5 times faster than plains, forming terraces. The equatorial region receives maximum solar energy (8.5×109 J m−2 per orbit), with maximum surface temperatures of 300–350 K. On the plains, H2O is found in the first few centimetres, while CO2 is found deeper (~2 m) and never accumulates near the surface. In the southern hemisphere, a brief intense perihelion heating raises temperatures to 350–400 K, which is followed by a 5-year polar night when surface temperatures drop to 55 K. Here H2O remains in the first few centimetres, while CO2 accumulates shallowly during polar night, enriching the region. Erosion is maximal in the southern hemisphere and concentrated on the plains, which explains the observed overall flatness of this hemisphere compared to the northern one. Over one orbit, the total energy from self-heating is 17% of the total energy budget, and 34% for thermal conduction. Our study contributes to a better understanding of the surface changes observed on 67P
Detailed chemical composition analysis of the Soi crater region on Titan
No full textInternational audienceThe Soi crater region (0° to 60°N, 180°W to −110°W), which includes the well-preserved Soi crater in its center, spans a region from Titan's aeolian-dominated equatorial regions to fluvially-dominated high northern latitudes. This provides a rich diversity of landscapes, one that is also representative of the diversity encountered across Titan. Schoenfeld et al. (2023) mapped this region at 1:800,000 scale and produced a geomorphological map showing that the area consists of 22 types of geomorphological units. The Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) coverage of the region enabled the detailed analysis of spectra of 261 different locations using a radiative transfer technique and a mixing model, yielding compositional constraints on Titan's optical surface layer. Additional constraints on composition on the near-surface substrate were obtained from microwave emissivity. We have derived combinations of top surface materials between dark materials, tholins, water-ice, and methane suggesting that dark mobile organic material at equatorial and high latitudes indicates “young” terrains and compositions, while tholin/water-ice mixtures that dominate areas around latitude 35°N show a material that is older plains deposits that we interpret to be the end stage of aeolian and fluvial transport and deposition. We found no spectral evidence of CO2, HC3N, and NH3 ice. We use the stratigraphic relations between the various mapping units and the relation between the geomorphology and the composition of the surface layers to build hypotheses on the origin and evolution of the regional geology. We suggest that sedimentary deposits, likely aeolian, are dominant in the region with fluvial activity and leaching changing the nature of the top surfaces of the midlatitude areas of the Soi crater region
