TL;DR: In this article, large-eddy simulations (LES) were used to investigate the dispersion of neutral and dense gas over a simplified urban area, comprising four cubes, by means of a separate precursor simulation.

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates the applicability of combining on-site FTIR measurements and off-site GC-MS analysis of a crime scene in order to ensure fast detection as well as unambiguous identification for forensic purposes of hydrogen cyanide in air.

27 Apr 2007TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the effect of forest vegetation of Nordic type on ground-to-ground measurements is presented, based on laser scanner measurement as well as photos, while the analysis covers several different elevation angles.
Abstract: One of the major advantages with laser sensors compared to passive optronic sensors, is the capability to penetrate
sparse vegetation. Therefore, the most limiting performance issue is the portion of laser "shots" being absorbed by the
foliage. This issue is the main focus in this paper and an analysis of the effect of forest vegetation of Nordic type is
presented. The conclusions are based on laser scanner measurement as well as photos. While the analysis covers several
elevation angles, the evaluation focuses on ground-to-ground measurements.

TL;DR: The results indicate that ethyl-cyanoacrylate seems to induce an increased inflammatory reaction, which may lead to accelerated Wallerian degeneration, and could therefore have benefits over conventional sutures for reconstruction of peripheral nerves.
Abstract: Anastomosis of a nerve with cyanoacrylate following a lesion has previously been shown to indicate morphological and functional recovery to an extent comparable to that of conventional epineural sutures. In this study we examined the local tissue reactions after transection and repair of rat sciatic nerve, and compared sutures with a synthetic ethyl-cyanoacrylate adhesive. Many ED-1-immunoreactive macrophages were found accumulating on either side of the repair site whereas neurofilament labelling was less pronounced distal to the repair site seven days after reparation with cyanoacrylate compared with sutures. After six months, when reinnervation was completed, the difference in ED-1-immunoreactivity was still present but to a less extent. These results indicate that ethyl-cyanoacrylate seems to induce an increased inflammatory reaction, which may lead to accelerated Wallerian degeneration, and could therefore have benefits over conventional sutures for reconstruction of peripheral nerves.

TL;DR: Interestingly, NK cell percentages did not normalize in COPD subjects that had quit smoking, indicating that these cells might play a role in the continued disease progression seen in COPd even after smoking cessation.
Abstract: Cytotoxic lymphocytes are increased in the airways of COPD patients. Whether this increase is driven primarily by the disease or by smoking is not clear, nor whether it correlates with the rate of decline in lung function. Bronchoscopy with BAL was performed in 52 subjects recruited from the longitudinal OLIN COPD study according to pre-determined criteria; 12 with COPD and a rapid decline in lung function (loss of FEV1 ≥ 60 ml/year), 10 with COPD and a non-rapid decline in lung function (loss of FEV1 ≤ 30 ml/year), 15 current and ex-smokers and 15 non-smokers with normal lung function. BAL lymphocyte subsets were determined using flow cytometry. In BAL fluid, the proportions of NK, iNKT and NKT-like cells all increased with pack-years. Within the COPD group, NK cells – but not iNKT or NKT-like cells – were significantly elevated also in subjects that had quit smoking. In contrast, current smoking was associated with a marked increase in iNKT and NKT-like cells but not in NK cells. Rate of lung function decline did not significantly affect any of the results. In summary, increased proportions of NK cells in BAL fluid were associated with COPD; iNKT and NKT-like cells with current smoking but not with COPD. Interestingly, NK cell percentages did not normalize in COPD subjects that had quit smoking, indicating that these cells might play a role in the continued disease progression seen in COPD even after smoking cessation.
