Graded Hypercapnia-Calibrated BOLD: Beyond the Iso-metabolic Hypercapnic Assumption
No full textCalibrated BOLD is a promising technique that overcomes the sensitivity of conventional fMRI to the cerebrovascular state; measuring either the basal level, or the task-induced response of cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO2). The calibrated BOLD method is susceptible to errors in the measurement of the calibration parameter M, the theoretical BOLD signal change that would occur if all deoxygenated hemoglobin were removed. The original and most popular method for measuring M uses hypercapnia (an increase in arterial CO2), making the assumption that it does not affect CMRO2. This assumption has since been challenged and recent studies have used a corrective term, based on literature values of a reduction in basal CMRO2 with hypercapnia. This is not ideal, as this value may vary across subjects and regions of the brain, and will depend on the level of hypercapnia achieved. Here we propose a new approach, using a graded hypercapnia design and the assumption that CMRO2 changes linearly with hypercapnia level, such that we can measure M without assuming prior knowledge of the scale of CMRO2 change. Through use of a graded hypercapnia gas challenge, we are able to remove the bias caused by a reduction in basal CMRO2 during hypercapnia, whilst simultaneously calculating the dose-wise CMRO2 change with hypercapnia. When compared with assuming no change in CMRO2, this approach resulted in significantly lower M values in both visual and motor cortices, arising from significant dose-dependent hypercapnia reductions in basal CMRO2 of 1.5±0.6%/mmHg (visual) and 1.8±0.7%/mmHg (motor), where mmHg is the unit change in end-tidal CO2 level. Variability in the basal CMRO2 response to hypercapnia, due to experimental differences and inter-subject variability, is accounted for in this approach, unlike previous correction approaches, which use literature values. By incorporating measurement of, and correction for, the reduction in basal CMRO2 during hypercapnia in the measurement of M values, application of our approach will correct for an overestimation in both CMRO2 task-response values and absolute CMRO2
Subgroup separability, knot groups, and graph manifolds
No full textThis paper answers a question of Burns, Karrass and Solitar by giving examples of knot and link groups which are not subgroup-separable. For instance, it is shown that the fundamental group of the square knot complement is not subgroup separable. We characterise the Graph Manifolds with subgroup separable fundamental group as precisely the geometric ones, i.e. the Seifert Fibered 3-manifolds and the Sol manifolds, and show that there is a specific non-subgroup separable group which is a subgroup in all other cases

Estimating Energy Efficiency Impacts Using Climate Wise "Wise Rules"
No full textClimate Wise is an industrial energy efficiency program sponsored by the U.S. EPA, and supported by the U.S. DOE, working in partnership with more than 400 industrial companies, representing approximately than 11 percent of U.S. industrial energy use. Climate Wise provides technical assistance in the form of efficiency check-lists, handbooks, and one-on-one support through a toll-free Wise Line to help partners identify efficiency measures and quantify project impacts. Climate Wise has developed the Wise Rules for Industrial Efficiency (Wise Rules Tool Kit) to provide partners with ''Wise Rules" for estimating potential energy, cost, and greenhouse gas emissions savings from key industrial energy efficiency measures. The Tool Kit includes information on the following end-uses: boilers, steam systems, furnaces, process heating, waste heat recovery, cogeneration, compressed air systems, and process cooling. This paper provides an overview of the Wise Rules Tool Kit and presents excerpts from the document and sample Wise Rules
