Dynamic sorted neighborhood indexing for real-time entity resolution

Real-time Entity Resolution (ER) is the process of matching query records in subsecond time with records in a database that represent the same real-world entity. Indexing techniques are generally used to efficiently extract a set of candidate records from the database that are similar to a query record, and that are to be compared with the query record in more detail. The sorted neighborhood indexing method, which sorts a database and compares records within a sliding window, has been successfully used for ER of large static databases. However, because it is based on static sorted arrays and is designed for batch ER that resolves all records in a database rather than resolving those relating to a single query record, this technique is not suitable for real-time ER on dynamic databases that are constantly updated. We propose a tree-based technique that facilitates dynamic indexing based on the sorted neighborhood method, which can be used for real-time ER, and investigate both static and adaptive window approaches. We propose an approach to reduce query matching times by precalculating the similarities between attribute values stored in neighboring tree nodes. We also propose a multitree solution where different sorting keys are used to reduce the effects of errors and variations in attribute values on matching quality by building several distinct index trees. We experimentally evaluate our proposed techniques on large real datasets, as well as on synthetic data with different data quality characteristics. Our results show that as the index grows, no appreciable increase occurs in both record insertion and query times, and that using multiple trees gives noticeable improvements on matching quality with only a small increase in query time. Compared to earlier indexing techniques for real-time ER, our approach achieves significantly reduced indexing and query matching times while maintaining high matching accuracy

TiO2 Photocatalysis for the Transformation of Aromatic Water Pollutants into Fuels

The growing world energy consumption, with reliance on conventional energy sources and the associated environmental pollution, are considered the most serious threats faced by man-kind. Heterogeneous photocatalysis has become one of the most frequently investigated technolo-gies, due to its dual functionality, i.e., environmental remediation and converting solar energy into chemical energy, especially molecular hydrogen. H2 burns cleanly and has the highest gravimetric gross calorific value among all fuels. However, the use of a suitable electron donor, in what so-called “photocatalytic reforming”, is required to achieve acceptable efficiency. This oxidation half-reaction can be exploited to oxidize the dissolved organic pollutants, thus, simultaneously improving the water quality. Such pollutants would replace other potentially costly electron donors, achieving the dual-functionality purpose. Since the aromatic compounds are widely spread in the environment, they are considered attractive targets to apply this technology. In this review, different aspects are highlighted, including the employing of different polymorphs of pristine titanium dioxide as pho-tocatalysts in the photocatalytic processes, also improving the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 by loading different types of metal co-catalysts, especially platinum nanoparticles, and comparing the effect of various loading methods of such metal co-catalysts. Finally, the photocatalytic reforming of aromatic compounds employing TiO2-based semiconductors is presented

Anévrysme de l’aorte thoracique d’origine traumatique: cas clinique suspect

Dans ce travail nous rapportons le cas d'un homme d'origine africaine du nord, âgé de 51 ans, qui s'est présenté à l'urgence pour des douleurs thoraciques constantes depuis un jour. Dans son anamnèse on note un enrouement de la voix depuis deux mois, une notion d'accident de circulation il y a environ dix ans. Patient sportif, fait de la boxe et travaille comme agent de sécurité dans une boite de nuit. La radiographie du thorax et l'angio-scanner thoracique montrent un volumineux anévrisme non compliqué de la crosse et du tiers distal de l'aorte thoracique descendante (7cmx7.8cm en vue axiale). Le patient a bénéficié d'une cure chirurgicale de ce volumineux anévrisme de l'aorte thoracique. Nous discutons des étiologies, des mesures cliniques et para cliniques qui permet le diagnostic de cette entité clinique rare pouvant être une erreur diagnostique pour un médecin urgentiste

Prevention of stillbirths: impact of a two-stage screening for vasa previa

Objectives: To examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a two-stage ultrasound screening strategy for detection of vasa previa and estimate the potential impact of screening on prevention of stillbirth. Methods: This was a retrospective examination of data from prospective screening for vasa previa in singleton pregnancies undertaken at the Fetal Medicine Centre at Medway Maritime Hospital, UK between 2012 and 2018. Women booked for prenatal care and delivery in our hospital had routine ultrasound examinations at 11-13 and 20-22 weeks’ gestation. Those with velamentous cord insertion at the inferior part of the placenta at the first-trimester scan and those with low-lying placenta at the second-trimester scan were classified as high-risk for vasa previa and had transvaginal sonography specifically searching for vasa previa at the time of the 20-22 weeks scan. The management and outcome of cases with suspected vasa previa is described. We excluded cases of miscarriage or termination at <24 weeks’ gestation. Results: The study population of 26,830 singleton pregnancies, included 21 (0.08% or 1 in 1,278) with vasa previa. In all cases of vasa previa the diagnosis was made at the 20-22 weeks scan and confirmed by gross and histological examination of the placenta postnatally. At the 11-13 weeks scan the cord insertion was classified as central in 25,071 (93.4%) cases, marginal in 1,680 (6.3%), and velamentous in 79 (0.3%). In 16 (76.2%) of the 21 cases of vasa previa, the cord insertion at the first-trimester scan was classified as velamentous at the inferior part of the placenta, in 2 (9.5%) as marginal and in 3 (14.3%) as central. The 21 cases of vasa previa were managed on an outpatient basis with serial scans for measurement of cervical length and elective cesarean section at 34 weeks’ gestation; all babies were liveborn but there was one neonatal death. In the study population there were 83 stillbirths and postnatal examination showed no evidence of vasa previa in any of the cases. On the assumption that if we had not diagnosed prenatally all 21 cases of vasa previa in our population half of these cases would have resulted in stillbirth, then the potential impact of screening is prevention of 9.6% (10/104) of stillbirths. Conclusion: A two-stage strategy of screening for vasa previa can be incorporated into routine clinical practice and such strategy could potentially reduce the rate of stillbirth

Supernumerary Molts in the First Instar of Diachasmimorpha tryoni (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Opiinae)

Supernumerary molts involving as many as 3 head capsule exuviae of the morphological first instar larvae of Diachasmimorpha tryoni (Cameron) were observed in the host puparium or the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). This phenomenon was frequently observed when parasitization occurred in early stage host larvae

The beneficial roles of insulin and parathyroid hormones in the treatment of experimentally induced diabetic osteoporosis in female rats: bone mineral density, morphometric and histological studies

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and osteoporosis are two frequent medical conditions with an increasing prevalence in elderly people and are responsible for large number of incurable fractures. This study is designed experimentally in female rats in order to determine whether combined treatment of insulin and parathyroid hormone (PTH) enhances the reversibility of the osteoporotic changes that occurred in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DM. Materials and methods: In this study, 30 adult female rats aged 3 months were used, they were randomly divided into: control group (6 rats) and diabetes group (24 rats), in which experimental DM was induced by i.p. injection of a single dose of STZ (60 mg/kg/body weight). Diabetic group was further divided into four subgroups (6 rats each): non-treated diabetic, insulin-treated (8–12 units s.c./day of Humalin U-40), PTH-treated (6.0 μg s.c./kg/day) and combined insulin and PTH-treated subgroups. All tested groups were assessed for body weight, food and water consumptions. Results: At the end of the experimental period, the bone mineral density (BMD) was measured for all rats of different groups; then the rats were sacrificed and blood samples were collected for measuring glucose, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin levels. Right femora were dissected out and subjected to measurement of diameter of neck and shaft, length of shaft, and weight. Then the femora specimens were processed and stained with haematoxylin and eosin for histological study. The results showed that there was a statistically significant, decrease in BMD, increase in the level of alkaline phosphate, and decrease in the level of osteocalcin in rats in diabetic group compared with other groups; these parameters improved in other groups, especially in diabetes/insulin/PTH group. The rats in diabetic group showed statistically significant decrease in neck and shaft diameters and weight of femur bone compared with other groups, while rats in diabetes/insulin/PTH group showed a significant improvement of these parameters. In diabetic group, there were different histopathological changes in cortical bone and Haversian canals, which improved in other groups, especially in rats in diabetes/insulin/PTH group. Conclusions: The untreated DM resulted in dramatic reduction in BMD and morphometric parameters. Treatment with insulin ameliorated these effects to some extent, while PTH co­-treatment had a more positive effect. The combination of PTH and insulin resulted in stronger improvement of all parameters to approximately like those of control rats
