Serum diamine oxidase in the neonate
No full textSerum diamine oxidase (DAO) activities were measured in 9 pregnant women and in 33 neonates during the 1st week of life. The radiometric method was used. Very high values were found in the mothers (mean +/- SE: 720 +/- 143 pmol ml-1 h-1). Neonates showed significantly elevated values (mean +/- SE: 178 +/- 54 pmol ml-1 h-1) on the 1st postnatal day when compared to the 7th day values (mean +/- SE: 27 +/- 5.7 pmol ml-1 h-1). Serial determinations showed a progressive decline from day 1 to day 7 after birth. We suggest the high serum DAO levels in neonates during the first days of life are due to leakage of placental enzyme into the circulation either at birth or during fetal life. Consequently, serum DAO cannot be used as a marker of small bowel functional integrity in the 1st postnatal week
Scots should forget devo max – it’s not possible and wasn’t offered
No full textFirst paragraph: One of the unfortunate things about the independence referendum debate is that it did not help us clarify the most likely outcome: the offer of more powers commonly known as devo max. For some, this refers to the idea of devolving everything except foreign and defence policy.

Solving eigenvalue response matrix equations with nonlinear techniques
No full textThis paper presents new algorithms for use in the eigenvalue response matrix method (ERMM) for reactor eigenvalue problems. ERMM spatially decomposes a domain into independent nodes linked via boundary conditions approximated as truncated orthogonal expansions, the coefficients of which are response functions. In its simplest form, ERMM consists of a two-level eigenproblem: an outer Picard iteration updates the k-eigenvalue via balance, while the inner λ -eigenproblem imposes neutron balance between nodes. Efficient methods are developed for solving the inner λ-eigenvalue problem within the outer Picard iteration. Based on results from several diffusion and transport benchmark models, it was found that the Krylov-Schur method applied to the λ -eigenvalue problem reduces Picard solver times (excluding response generation) by a factor of 2–5. Furthermore, alternative methods, including Picard acceleration schemes, Steffensen’s method, and Newton’s method, are developed in this paper. These approaches often yield faster k-convergence and a need for fewer k-dependent response function evaluations, which is important because response generation is often the primary cost for problems using responses computed online (i.e., not from a precomputed database). Accelerated Picard iteration was found to reduce total computational times by 2–3 compared to the unaccelerated case for problems dominated by response generation. In addition, Newton’s method was found to provide nearly the same performance with improved robustness
Forget Lance Armstrong, the next big cycling doper could be your dad
No full textFirst paragraph: The Gran Fondo New York bicycle race is the biggest mass-participation event of its kind in the state, a 100-mile run between Manhattan and Bear Mountain. In May 2012 the organisers introduced drug testing. With thousands of entrants, this expensive process was limited to a handful of riders. Of those, two came back positive for EPO (erythropoietin), a blood-boosting hormone largely associated with the most elite professional end of the sport. Both riders were banned for two years.
