Artefactual Suboptimal Fixation Effect to Nuclear Staining on Erythrocytes of Lutjanus kasmira (Forsskål 1775)

This research presents the unusual staining characteristic of the teleosts red blood cells–the common bluestripe snapper Lutjanus kasmira, caught at Toc Tan (Allison) Reef, Truong Sa Archipelago, Vietnam, due to side effects of the delayed staining procedure. In addition to the quantitative data measured, the results of microscopic image research showed that, on slides performed with the delayed Romanovsky staining procedure using Giemsa dye, the cell "nucleus" was not dye-stained as seen in the erythrocytes of much other fish. The AFM and SEM images of blood slides show that the structure of the nuclear zone and the nuclear membrane was destroyed. Although methanol is used as one of the common fixatives in biology, the delayed staining still causes artifactual side effects, disrupts the structure of the red blood cell nucleus and can cause confusion when studying cytogenetics

Study to Fabricate the Large Scale Buckypaper Based on Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted great attention because of their unique structural, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. Then CNTs have potential application as electrode for batteries and supercapacitors, especially binder-free electrodes. The major challenge is to fabricate the large scale electrode with the uniform thickness, electrical property. The large scale CNTs buckypaper can be fabricated via vacuum filtration technique. The characteristics of CNT dispersion and buckypaper depend on variety of factor such as sonication power, sonication time, dispersant…. In this study, we investigate the multiwall carbon nanotubes (MW CNTs) in Isopropanol (IPA) solvent with different sonication conditions, membrane filter size for paper with areal density of 3 mg/cm2 with different sizes such as 4, 10, 20 cm in diameter and large scale of 30x30 cm2. It is observed that the dispersion of CNTs are good and the thickness, conductivity are uniform over whole sample for above sizes. We also can get the highest conductivity of buckypaper was 3.9x103 S/m in 30 mins. It is found that the higher sonication power and higher sonication time are better for buckypaper

Microscopic Observation Drug Susceptibility Assay (MODS) for Early Diagnosis of Tuberculosis in Children

MODS is a novel liquid culture based technique that has been shown to be effective and rapid for early diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). We evaluated the MODS assay for diagnosis of TB in children in Viet Nam. 217 consecutive samples including sputum (n = 132), gastric fluid (n = 50), CSF (n = 32) and pleural fluid (n = 3) collected from 96 children with suspected TB, were tested by smear, MODS and MGIT. When test results were aggregated by patient, the sensitivity and specificity of smear, MGIT and MODS against “clinical diagnosis” (confirmed and probable groups) as the gold standard were 28.2% and 100%, 42.3% and 100%, 39.7% and 94.4%, respectively. The sensitivity of MGIT and MODS was not significantly different in this analysis (P = 0.5), but MGIT was more sensitive than MODS when analysed on the sample level using a marginal model (P = 0.03). The median time to detection of MODS and MGIT were 8 days and 13 days, respectively, and the time to detection was significantly shorter for MODS in samples where both tests were positive (P<0.001). An analysis of time-dependent sensitivity showed that the detection rates were significantly higher for MODS than for MGIT by day 7 or day 14 (P<0.001 and P = 0.04), respectively. MODS is a rapid and sensitive alternative method for the isolation of M.tuberculosis from children

Compact X-band (11.24 Ghz) Linac for Cancer Therapy

Monochromatic hard X-ray inspection device based on Compton scattering effect between electron and laser beam is very useful for medical purposes such as for dynamic Intravenous Coronary Arteriography. To realize compact system of the monochromatic hard X-ray source a compact X-band (11.424 GHz) electron linear accelerator (linac) is introduced. The linac have been studied and under designing in Nuclear Engineering Research Laboratory (NERL), the University of Tokyo. X-band thermionic cathode RF gun is used. X-band accelerating structure type of standing wave, pi/2-mode is designed. A 45 MeV electron beam with 20 pC/bunch is generated. In order to simplify in radiation shielding and avoid neutron radiation, we realize deceleration of the electron beam before dumping.9th European Particle Accelerator Conferenc

Computational Analysis of Correlations between Image Aesthetic and Image Naturalness in the Relation with Image Quality

The main purpose of this paper is the study of the correlations between Image Aesthetic (IA) and Image Naturalness (IN) and the analysis of the influence of IA and IN on Image Quality (IQ) in different contexts. The first contribution is a study about the potential relationships between IA and IN. For that study, two sub-questions are considered. The first one is to validate the idea that IA and IN are not correlated to each other. The second one is about the influence of IA and IN features on Image Naturalness Assessment (INA) and Image Aesthetic Assessment (IAA), respectively. Secondly, it is obvious that IQ is related to IA and IN, but the exact influence of IA and IN on IQ has not been evaluated. Besides that, the context impact on those influences has not been clarified, so the second contribution is to investigate the influence of IA and IN on IQ in different contexts. The results obtained from rigorous experiments prove that although there are moderate and weak correlations between IA and IN, they are still two different components of IQ. It also appears that viewers&rsquo; IQ perception is affected by some contextual factors, and the influence of IA and IN on IQ depends on the considered context
