BJ-TSA-9, a Novel Human Tumor-Specific Gene, Has Potential as a Biomarker of Lung Cancer
No full textAbstractUsing bioinformatics, we have identified a novel tumorspecific gene BJ-TSA-9, which has been validated by Northern blot analysis and reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). BJ-TSA-9 mRNA was expressed in 52.5% (21 of 40) of human lung cancer tissues and was especially higher in lung adenocarcinoma (68.8%). To explore the potential application of BJ-TSA-9 for the detection of circulating cancer cells in lung cancer patients, nested RT-PCR was performed. The overall positive detection rate was 34.3% (24 of 70) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with various types of lung cancers and was 53.6% (15 of 28) in PBMCs of lung adenocarcinoma patients. In combination with the detection of two known marker genes SCC and LUNX, the detection rate was increased to 81.4%. A follow-up study was performed in 37 patients after surgical removal of tumor mass. Among nine patients with persistent detection of two to three tumor marker transcripts in PBMCs, six patients had recurrence/metastasis. In contrast, 28 patients with transient detection of one tumor marker or without detection of any tumor marker were all in remission. Thus, BJ-TSA-9 may serve as a marker for lung cancer diagnosis and as a marker, in combination with two other tumor markers, for the prediction of the recurrence and prognosis of lung cancer patients

Estimation of the number of periodic orbits
No full textThe main theme of this paper is to estimate, for self-maps f : X --> X of compact polyhedra, the asymptotic Nielsen number N-infinity(f) which is defined to be the growth rate of the sequence {N(f(n))} of the Nielsen numbers of the iterates of f. The asymptotic Nielsen number provides a homotopy invariant lower bound to the topological entropy h(f). To introduce our main tool, the Lefschetz zeta function, we develop the Nielsen theory of periodic orbits. Compared to the existing Nielsen theory of periodic points, it features the mapping torus approach, thus brings deeper geometric insight and simpler algebraic formulation. The important cases of homeomorphisms of surfaces and punctured surfaces are analysed. Examples show that the computation involved is straightforward and feasible. Applications to dynamics, including improvements of several results in the recent literature, demonstrate the usefulness of the asymptotic Nielsen number.MathematicsSCI(E)19ARTICLE1151-18517

Full text linkHotel merupakan salah satu bentuk akomodasi yang dikelola secara komersial, yang disediakan bagi setiap orang untuk memperoleh pelayanan, penginapan berikut makanan dan minuman. Provinsi Jawa Timur, sebagai salah satu wilayah tujuan wisata di Indonesia, menawarkan berbagai macam obyek wisata baik obyek wisata alam, budaya, maupun buatan. Salah satu daerah tujuan wisata di Jawa Timur yang menawarkan keindahan alam yaitu pemandangan alam pegunungan yang salah satunya ada di Kota Pasuruan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukannya sarana akomodasi yang baik secara kualitas dan kuantitas. BJ. Perdana merupakan salah satu hotel terbaik di Kota Pasuruan, letak dari hotel tersebut cukup strategis dan banyak diminati oleh pengunjung. Namun sayang interior hotel tersebut belum tertatat cukup baik, dan tidak menyimbolkan bahwa hotel tersebut berada di kota Pasuruan.
Pada tugas akhir ini penulis meredsain hotel BJ. Perdana berkonsep modern dengan sentuhan budaya Pasuruan. Penulis juga memberikan informasi mengenai budaya yang ada di kota Pasuruan dengan cara di tuangkan dalam desain interiornya. Dengan menerapkan beberapa bentukan hasil budaya serta warna yang menjadi ciri khas kota Pasuruan. Ini bertujuan agar pengunjung tau akan budaya dan ciri khas dari Kota Pasuruan itu sendiri. Dan juga dapat menjadikan media promosi serta ikut andil dalam program pemerintahan Kota Pasuruan.
Dalam mendesain interior restoran diperlukan metode desain. Metode yang digunakan yaitu pengumpulan data, analisa data, konsep dan pengembangan desain, serta desain akhir. Hasil yang diharapkan adalah sebuah desain interior hotel yang menunjang kebudayaan setempat agar dapat melestarikan budaya setempat serta menjadi media promosi kepada para wisatawan yang berkunjung.

The hotel is a form of commercially managed accommodation, provided for everyone to get service, with food and drinks. East Java Province, as one of the tourist destinations in Indonesia, offers a variety of attractions both natural attractions, culture, and artificial. One of the tourist destinations in East Java that offers natural beauty that is the natural scenery of the mountains one of which is in Pasuruan. Therefore, the need for good accommodation facilities in quality and quantity. BJ. Perdana is one of the best hotels in Pasuruan City, the location of the hotel is quite strategic and much in demand by visitors. But unfortunately the interior of the hotel has not been recorded well enough, and does not symbolize that the hotel is located in the city of Pasuruan. In this final project the author redesigned the hotel BJ. Perdana modern concept with a touch of Pasuruan culture. The author also provides information about the existing culture in the city of Pasuruan by way of pour in interior design. By applying some formation of cultural and color results that characterize the city of Pasuruan. It aims to let visitors know the culture and characteristics of Pasuruan City itself. And also can make the media campaign and take part in government program of Pasuruan City. In designing the interior design method is required. The method used is data collection, data analysis, concept and design development, and final design. The expected result is a hotel interior design that supports the local culture in order to preserve the local culture and become a media campaign to the tourists who visit
Assessment Risk Factors in Poisoning Patients with Altered Consciousness Status
Full text linkBackground & Objectives: One of the limitations in management of patients suffering from
decreased level of consciousness due to drug poisoning is the inability to interview the patient.
The aim of the study was to compare characteristics of the two subgroups of these patients; those
who had a suicidal attempt history with others.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 19 patients with suicidal attempt history and 66 patients
without this history were selected among patients who were admitted for drug poisoning to
referral poisoning hospitals in Tehran, Iran, in August, September and October 2009. All of them
had decreased level of consciousness due to unknown drug poisoning. Demographics, poisoning
characteristics, past medical history and substance use history of the patients were recorded.
Results: Different between previous history of suicide action with drug material decreased level
of consciousness caused by poisoning, was significantly (p=0.04). Mental disease (p > 0.01),
number of tablets consumed (p=0.02), interval between drug consumption and emergency forces
to reach the place (p= 0.021), described in deliberate self poisoning patients (Self Poisoning)
(p=0.001), decreased level of consciousness grade (p=0.046), U.S. fail initial level of
consciousness after emergency measures (p=0.02) and the need for health care and advanced next
(p= 0.013) in patients with decreased level of consciousness with a history of previous suicide
compared with other group were higher. Significant difference between the two age groups
(P> 0.05), gender and history of illegal drug use (P> 0.05) did not exist.
Conclusion: According to these findings, when dealing with patients suffering from decreased
level of consciousness due to unknown drug poisoning, paying attention to history of suicidal
attempts in these patients can help medical professionals in determining more effective treatment
options for them. Medical staff should also record previous suicide as a risk factor in the risk
assessment to consider the disease.

New Propositions Concerning the Place of Origin and the Authorship of the Quaestio- nes disputatae super octo libros Physicorum Aristotelis Contained in MS no. BJ 688
No full textMost present-day Polish medievalists consider the Quaestiones disputatae, contained in MS no. BJ 688 of the Jagellonian Library in Cracow, to be a work written by Andrew Wężyk OP alias „Magister Serpens”. Some, as for instance M. Markowski, even call it a Cracovian commentary.
The author of this paper traces the history of the question of authorship and place of origin of these Quaestiones disputatae.
Recent research advocates a revision of opinions as regards these two problems.
Firstly, Cracow should no longer be considered as the place of origin of this work. Ample evidence stems from the text of this work, proving that it was written not in Cracow, but in Prague.
Secondly, there is some doubt as to how one should treat the heading on f. 2r which, as some scholars have remarked, is an adscription and cannot therefore be considered as part of the original text of this work (W. Wisłocki, M. Kowalczyk, M. Zwiercan). Until now, this heading seems to have been accepted as the title of the work and, it being treated as such, has resulted in the doubtful interpretations of these problems in the past. Yet although a later addition to the work, the heading on f. 2r gives us a clue as to the true role of the alleged author of this work: the expression „magistri Serpentis editionis” found in this heading, as well as numerous editorial signs in the text of the work all dating from the same epoch as the heading, suggest that the person mentioned in it was not so much the author of the Quaestiones disputatae BJ 688 but rather their editor.
The paper concludes by proposing that one should refrain from using the adscription on f. 2r of this work as its title. Until more data is available regarding the authorship of this work, it should be known under the following title: Quaestiones disputatae, quae cuidam magistro Serpenti attribuuntur
Time-Varying Human-Operator Identification with Box-Jenkins Models
No full textThe identification of time-varying, adaptive behaviour of a human operator in basic manual control tasks is undoubtedly under development since most methodologies only account for time-invariant systems. Previous authors have proved that estimation techniques based on ARX structures can generally identify the HO model parameters. Nonetheless, ARX methods present several problems, such as the persistent bias in estimates that may increase due to coupled noise and system models. Therefore, a novel identification technique based on Box Jenkins models is proposed to achieve a more adequate match between the estimator structure and the HO model. The identification process can be conducted offline by the Ordinary Least Squares and Prediction Error Method, or online, when Recursive Least Squares and Recursive PEM are employed, respectively, in ARX and BJ models. The BJ estimator has excellent potential as an identification tool due to its bias reduction capabilities, as clearly shown in batch-fitting, although non-linear optimization processes decrease its convergence speed by 500%. An RPEM algorithm with forgetting factor 𝝀 = 0.99609 and first-order remnant BJ structure is implemented and tested under Monte Carlo simulation and experimental data. Recursive BJ algorithms could help to achieve the ideal identification method by diminishing the Neuro-Muscular parameter bias in ARX.Invited graduation committee member professor Joost de WinterAerospace Engineering | Control & Simulatio
