Using a large multinational database, we therefore evaluated the occurrence of oliguria (defined as a urine output 16 years) patients in the ICON audit who had a urine output measurement on the day of admission were included. To investigate the association between oliguria and mortality, we used a multilevel analysis. Results: Of the 8292 patients included, 2050 (24.7%) were oliguric during the first 24 h of admission. Patients with oliguria on admission who had at least one additional 24-h urine output recorded during their ICU stay (n = 1349) were divided into three groups: transient - oliguria resolved within 48 h after the admission day (n = 390 [28.9%]), prolonged - oliguria resolved > 48 h after the admission day (n = 141 [10.5%]), and permanent - oliguria persisting for the whole ICU stay or again present at the end of the ICU stay (n = 818 [60.6%]). ICU and hospital mortality rates were higher in patients with oliguria than in those without, except for patients with transient oliguria who had significantly lower mortality rates than non-oliguric patients. In multilevel analysis, the need for RRT was associated with a significantly higher risk of death (OR = 1.51 [95% CI 1.19-1.91], p = 0.001), but the presence of oliguria on admission was not (OR = 1.14 [95% CI 0.97-1.34], p = 0.103). Conclusions: Oliguria is common in ICU patients and may have a relatively benign nature if only transient. The duration of oliguria and need for RRT are associated with worse outcome.publishersversionPeer reviewe

Vibration diagnosis of turbomachinery coupled with induction motor

This paper is focusing on diagnosis for longitudinal and radial vibrations of turbomachinery coupled with induction motors. In this context, extensive field vibration measurements are conducted and analysed to identify the source of predominant vibrations on rotor bearing system in a chosen centrifugal compressor in the radial and longitudinal directions. As a first step, the measured overall vibration levels at multiple locations on bearing surface are compared with the existing ISO standard limits. These measurements showed severe longitudinal vibration values and failure of thrust collar assembly which were not considered in turbomachinery (API) design standards. The second step in diagnosis for vibration spectrum measurements are conducted both in longitudinal and radial directions during transient and steady state operations to find the vibration source and thrust collar assembly failure mechanism. This study on vibration diagnosis and analysis on turbomachinery is useful in correcting the severe longitudinal vibrations and damage control measures and corrections associated with static eccentric airgaps through motor air gap diagram.</jats:p

WAG model of ML tree

Based on orthoMCL clustering, 100 single copy ortholog gene groups from five fungal species were selected randomly and aligned separately using MUSCLE version 3.8.31 with default parameters. All hundred Multiple Sequence Alignments (MSA) were concatenated. Then, 1000 bootstrap replicates were performed using SEQBOOT program in Phylip package version 3.696. The maximum-likelihood tree was constructed by PhyML V3.1 (--datatype aa --model WAG --bootstrap 1000) with 1000 bootstrap replicates to infer phylogenetic relationship of Sarocladium oryzae in relation to other Ascomycetes fungi (Magnaporthe oryzae, Fusarium graminearum, Acremonium chrysogenum, and Fusarium oxysporum). The consensus tree constructed using CONSENSE in Phylip package
