SummaryThe changes in the status of the adenylic acid-creatine phosphate system and in glycogen, glucose, and lactate were investigated in canine kidneys during preservation in anaerobic and aerobic ischemia at normo- and hypothermia. For anaerobic ischemia, the kidneys were stored without additional measures; for aerobic ischemia, the ischemic kidneys were persufflated with gaseous O2 or gas mixtures containing O2 via the renal artery or vein (orthograde and retrograde aerobic ischemia respectively). Prior to preservation, the kidneys were flushed with cell-free perfusates.Changes in the metabolic status characteristic of anaerobic ischemia were a decrease in the tissue levels of ATP, creatine phosphate, glycogen, glucose, and the sum of adenine nucleotides, a transitory increase in ADP and AMP, and an increase in the tissue level of lactate. Hypothermia caused a retardation of the anaerobic alterations; the loss of ATP was slowed down by factors of 2 and 9.5 when the temperatures were lowered from 37° to 26° and 6°C, respectively.In aerobic ischemia with orthograde and retrograde persufflation of 100% O2 (persufflation pressure = PP 60 and 30 mm Hg), deviations from a regular metabolic status developed very slowly. While the ATP-level decreased to 50% of the control value within scarcely 30 min of anaerobic ischemia at 6°C, it was almost 48 h before a similar loss of ATP occurred during orthograde aerobic ischemia at 6°C. Reduction of O2 in the persufflation gas to 40 and 21 vol-% resulted in less adequate preservation of the metabolic status. Increasing PP to 100 mm Hg for orthograde persufflation had no effect. An increase in PP to 60 mm Hg for retrograde persufflation resulted in a further delay in the metabolic deterioration. The long-term preservation of a regular metabolic status or the slow deviation of the metabolic pattern from the normal range during ischemia with O2-persufflation indicates a significantly smaller energy deficit than during storage in anaerobic ischemia. It must be attributed to a sufficient aerobiosis in the aerobically ischemic kidney, during which organogenic substrates brought in by the initial perfusion are utilized. | In search for new techniques of renal preservation, kidneys were persufflatedin situ with gaseous O2 at a pressure of 90–100 mm Hg via their vascular system (orthograde aerobic ischemia). The results on post-ischemic function and blood flow, and on the changes in the renal tissue levels of the adenine nucleotides were compared to those obtained from kidneys ischemically stored without additional measures (anaerobic ischemia). The kidneys were stored for 4 hrs at 6°C. A contralateral nephrectomy was performed before the preservation period. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

With grid expansion in China, many metropolitan power grids have been divided into partitions at 220kV to reduce the system short-circuit current and make the grid structure clearer. However, there are still a lot of problems with the current domestic (Chinese) grid partitioning. In contrast, urban power grids of developed countries are fully developed, and their partition operation experience can be reference for domestic urban power grids. In this paper, the grid partitioning situation of domestic cities, especially Shanghai power grid, is presented and analyzed. Then, similar work is done to analyze the grid partition status quo of New York and Tokyo of which grid partition features are prominent. Finally, the metropolitan power grid partition situation in China and abroad is comparatively analyzed to provide reference for the Chinese urban power grids.

Estimating sex ratios of loggerhead turtles in Brazil from pivotal incubation durations | A method of estimating natural sex ratios of hatchlings of species with temperature-dependent sexual differentiation from data on incubation durations is described. The method was applied to loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) nesting in Brazil. Data on incubation durations were collected from 11 nesting beaches monitored for up to six seasons. It was estimated that 82.5% of the loggerhead hatchlings produced were female. The strongly female-biased sex ratio in Brazil is similar to that found previously for loggerheads using beaches in the eastern U.S.A. This suggests that a female-biased hatchling sex ratio may be a feature of loggerhead populations. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Family Feud: The best, worst and most ridiculous moments | Following news that Family Feud has been cancelled, we take a look back at these stellar moments from the show's 100th episode anniversary.
Family Feud has been the source of a lot of laughter since it came to New Zealand television screens.
Here are some of the best (or worst, depending on how you look at it) answers on the show so far, starting with one from a celebrity episode featuring Hunt For the Wilderpeople's Julian Dennison.
READ MORE: Family Feud Cancelled as Dai Goes Dancing
What's Julian Dennison up to in his spare time?
The question:
Advertisement
"Name an animal we eat, that would never eat us."
The answer:
: "A horse?"
Is horse on the board? Dai: "Name an animal we eat, that would never eat us" Julian: "A horse?" Posted by Family Feud New Zealand on Monday, 23 May 2016
The best part about this is Julian's clearly just throwing the towel in by making his answer another question: a horse? Maybe.
To be fair, there was that time a handful of British supermarket were discovered to be selling horse meat in the frozen section, so he's not entirely wrong.
Oi, with the horses already
The question:
"Name a tall breed of dog."
The answer:
"A horse."
Horse is Not a Dog Dai: "Name a tall breed of dog." Aurora: "A horse." Posted by Family Feud New Zealand on Sunday, 17 April 2016
The best part about this is Aurora knows it's wrong (she's not stupid), but she's just thought "hey, might as well".
You never know, one of the 100 Kiwis surveyed may well have drawn a blank and written horse too. Either way, bonus points for having a crack at impersonating a horse.
Well, you're not entirely wrong
The question:
"Give me a word that rhymes with jumper."
The answer:
"Jumper."
Let's see if you can beat Heather's answer? Give us a word that rhymes with Jumper. Tune in tonight 5.30pm for more funny moments #familyfeudnz Posted by Family Feud New Zealand on Thursday, 18 February 2016
Clearly, Heather heard somewhere that confidence is key.
Hey, if rappers can get away with rhyming by repeating the same word, why can't she?
Just your finest mammal, please
The question: "Name an animal beginning with M."
The answer: "Mammal"
Of Mammals and Mammal Milk Dai asks: "Name an animal beginning with M." Posted by Family Feud New Zealand on Thursday, 7 April 2016
Everything about this is great. But nothing more so than Ethan answering the question "what sort of milk comes from a mammal?", with "mammal milk".
By the time they're done, mammal doesn't even sound like a real word anymore.
Only in New Zealand, eh?
The question:
"Name something that gives you support."
The answer:
"Social welfare."
Hilarious Social Welfare Moment This is literally the BEST answer we've had on Feud so far! Posted by Family Feud New Zealand on Tuesday, 8 March 2016
This one's the gift that keeps on giving. First of all, Ben seems pretty stoked with that answer and he should be. That's the kind of one liner a comic might work into a set.
But also, not only does Dai find it hilarious, but he seems genuinely outraged when the answer doesn't come up on the board. Because once again, he's not wrong.
Just what doors is the PM opening?
The question:
"Name a type of key."
The answer:
"I'm going to say... John."
John Key Dai: "Name a type of key." Jakob: "I'm going to say.....John." Posted by Family Feud New Zealand on Monday, 21 March 2016
The best part about this is, while everyone's sitting around cracking up at Jakob's ridiculous answer, it turns out it isn't that ridiculous.
Not only is "John Key" on the board, it's the second most popular answer.
The ultimate wedding crasher
The question: "Something you might take home [from a wedding]"
The answer: "Bridesmaids."
Paki and His Bridesmaids Dai asks: 'Name something you might take home from a wedding." and we are cracking up at Paki's answer! So good. Posted by Family Feud New Zealand on Wednesday, 4 May 2016
As Dai points out, what's funny about this is Paki makes a special effort to make it a plural - Bridesmaids, not just one.
It's not technically on the board, but the sentiment's very much the same. On ya, Paki.
Ya walked right into that one, Dai
The question:
"Besides an animal, name something that is hairy."
The answer:
"Dai Henwood."
Dai Henwood is a Hairy Man And the 6th most popular answer is... Dai Henwood?! Posted by Family Feud New Zealand on Friday, 8 April 2016
Dai was the sixth most popular answer on the board.
Need we say more?
These women are out of control
The question: "Name something that's hard to control."
Answer one: "The wind."
Answer two: "A car."
Things are out of control We've had some surprising answers before, but none quite like this! #AnythingCanHappen Posted by Family Feud New Zealand on Wednesday, 8 June 2016
Sure, the weather is hard to control. If by "hard", you mean "impossible". And if you answered "car", then please, for us, stay off the roads.
What's even better than these answers though, is the fact that Dai mocked both of them, only to discover they were on the board.
Which leads us to our final moment:
You may be wrong, but at least you're not alone
The question:
"Apart from Wellington, name a capital city."
The answer:
"Auckland."
Since when was Auckland a capital city And this wasn't the only shocking answer of the night... Posted by Family Feud New Zealand on Monday, 13 June 2016
Janet starts out confident, only realising her mistake when the audience's laughter fails to let up.
But the joke's on all of us, because it turned out a bunch of other people also think Auckland's a capital city, and it was on the board.

Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) cone horizontal cells contain N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, the function of which has yet to be determined. In the present study, we have examined the effect of NMDA receptor activation on voltage-gated ion channel activity. NMDA receptor activation produced a long-term downregulation of voltage-gated sodium and calcium currents but had no effect on the delayed rectifying potassium current. NMDA's effect was eliminated in the presence of AP-7. To determine whether NMDA receptor activation had functional implications, isolated catfish cone horizontal cells were current clamped to mimic the cell's physiological response. When horizontal cells were depolarized, they elicited a single depolarizing overshoot and maintained a depolarized steady state membrane potential. NMDA reduced the amplitude of the depolarizing overshoot and increased the depolarized steady-state membrane potential. Both effects of NMDA were eliminated in the presence of AP-7. These results support the hypothesis that activation of NMDA receptors in catfish horizontal cells may affect the type of visual information conveyed through the distal retina. | 1. Bifurcation theory is used to study properties of nonlinear analytical and computational models of isolated retinal horizontal cells. The analytical model is based on the published data of Shingai and Christensen describing steady-state I-V characteristics of horizontal cells isolated from catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) retina. The computational model is based on I-V characteristics of distinct macroscopic membrane currents observed in horizontal cells isolated from goldfish (Carassius auratus) retina. Slow-model dynamics are analyzed assuming that excitatory processes occur rapidly with respect to the time course of inactivation of the inward Ca2+ and outward K+ currents. 2. A global bifurcation diagram plotting the location and stability properties of critical points as a function of photoreceptor-evoked horizontal-cell postsynaptic membrane conductance Gsyn is derived for the analytical model. The automated bifurcation analysis software AUTO is used to compute global bifurcation diagrams for the computational model. Bifurcation diagrams exhibit a bistable regime at small Gsyn values characterized by two stable and one unstable critical point and a monostable regime at larger Gsyn values characterized by a single globally attracting stable critical point. The transition between bistable and monostable behavior occurs at a Gsyn value of roughly 0.9 nS for the computational model and 1.7 nS for the analytical model. Estimates of horizontal-cell glutamate-channel conductance suggest that this transition corresponds to the activation of as few as 400-700 glutamate channels. Dark-evoked release of neurotransmitter from photoreceptors may therefore set horizontal-cell synaptic conductance Gsyn to a value within the monostable regime. 3. Photoreceptor-evoked horizontal-cell membrane conductance, total Ca2+ channel conductance, and inactivation of the inward Ca2+ current are shown to be the major factors controlling the bifurcation structure of the computational model. Inactivation of the inward Ca2+ current is required to account for the dark resting potential of horizontal cells as well as light-evoked hyperpolarizing responses. Inactivation of the outward K+ current has little effect on model properties. 4. Isolated horizontal cells generate Ca2+ action potentials whereas cells in the intact retina normally do not. Simple procedures for modeling the slow dynamics of isolated horizontal-cell Ca2+ action potentials are described.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) | s2orc_abstract_citation |

An Optimal Selection Method of Manufacturing Resources in Cloud Environment | Cloud Manufacturing allows geographically separated factories to cooperate for finishing one manufacturing task with less time, less cost, higher quality. The key issue is to achieve the optimal combination of manufacturing resources in cloud. In this paper, the constraint characteristics among manufacturing resources in cloud environment are analyzed, involving the attributes of manufacturing resources and constraints relationship among them. Based on Rough Set theory, an optimal selection method for manufacturing resources in the cloud manufacturing environment is proposed, along with its implementation framework and processing approach. A case study is demonstrated and discussed to validate the proposed method. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Abstract Objective To systematically review the outcomes of tongue-tie division procedures in patients with ankyloglossia with the goal of (1) deriving clinically oriented insights into the effect of tongue-tie division procedures and (2) identifying needs in knowledge to stimulate further research. Data sources Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched without any limitations, for studies published between 1966 and June 2012. Review methods Studies were included (level 4 evidence or above) if subjects of any age had ankyloglossia and underwent tongue-tie release. Outcome measures of interest were any subjective or objective measures of breastfeeding and speech outcomes, or reports of adverse events. Results In all, 378 abstracts were generated from the literature searches; 20 studies met the criteria for data extraction and analysis. Of those, 15 studies were observational and 5 were randomized controlled trials. Tongue-tie division provided objective improvements in the following: LATCH scores (3 studies); SF-MPQ index (2 studies); IBFAT (1 study); milk production and feeding characteristics (3 studies); and infant weight gain (1 study). Subjective improvements were also noted in maternal perception of breastfeeding (14 studies) and maternal pain scores (4 studies). No definitive improvements in speech function were reported. The only significant adverse events were recurrent tongue-ties that required repeat procedures. Conclusion Ankyloglossia is a well-tolerated procedure that provides objective and subjective benefits in breastfeeding; however, there was a limited number of studies available with quality evidence. There are no significant data to suggest a causative association between ankyloglossia and speech articulation problems. Aspects of ankyloglossia that would benefit from further research are described, and recommendations for tongue-tie release candidacy criteria are provided. | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE ::: Children with ankyloglossia, an abnormally short, thickened, or tight lingual frenulum, may have restricted tongue mobility and sequelae, such as speech and feeding difficulties and social concerns. We systematically reviewed literature on feeding, speech, and social outcomes of treatments for infants and children with ankyloglossia. ::: ::: ::: METHODS ::: Medline, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Embase were searched. Two reviewers independently assessed studies against predetermined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Two investigators independently extracted data on study populations, interventions, and outcomes and assessed study quality. ::: ::: ::: RESULTS ::: Two randomized controlled trials, 2 cohort studies, and 11 case series assessed the effects of frenotomy on feeding, speech, and social outcomes. Bottle feeding and social concerns, such as ability to use the tongue to eat ice cream and clean the mouth, improved more in treatment groups in comparative studies. Supplementary bottle feedings decreased over time in case series. Two cohort studies reported improvement in articulation and intelligibility with treatment. Other benefits were unclear. One randomized controlled trial reported improved articulation after Z-frenuloplasty compared with horizontal-to-vertical frenuloplasty. Numerous noncomparative studies reported speech benefits posttreatment; however, studies primarily discussed modalities, with outcomes including safety or feasibility, rather than speech. We included English-language studies, and few studies addressed longer-term speech, social, or feeding outcomes; nonsurgical approaches, such as complementary and alternative medicine; and outcomes beyond infancy, when speech or social concerns may arise. ::: ::: ::: CONCLUSIONS ::: Data are currently insufficient for assessing the effects of frenotomy on nonbreastfeeding outcomes that may be associated with ankyloglossia. | s2orc_abstract_citation |
New uniqueness results for fractional differential equation with dependence on the first order derivative | In this paper, we study the uniqueness of solutions for a fractional differential equation with dependence on the first order derivative. By means of Banach’s contraction mapping principle and a weighted norm in product space, sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of solutions are investigated. An example is given to illustrate the main results. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Spirocyclic Zwitterionic λ5Si-Silicates with Two Bidentate Ligands Derived from α-Amino Acids or α-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids: Synthesis, Structure, and Stereodynamics | A series of zwitterionic λ5Si-silicates with a (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinio)methyl group and two identical bidentate ligands derived from glycine, (S)-alanine, (S)-phenylalanine, glycolic acid, (S)-lactic acid, (S)-3-phenyllactic acid, or (S)-mandelic acid were synthesized and structurally characterized (solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy; single-crystal X-ray diffraction). The chiral λ5Si-silicates with ligands derived from optically active α-amino acids or α-hydroxycarboxylic acids were isolated as enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure compounds that undergo a (Λ)/(Δ)-epimerization in solution. | s2orc_title_abstract |
