    Effect of Room Arrangement and Blood Sample Collection Sequence on Serum Thyroid Hormone and Cortisol Concentrations in Cynomolgus Macaques (Macacafascicularis)

    We evaluated the relationship, in cynomolgus macaques (Macacafascicularis), between rank for order of blood collection with serum concentrations of 3,5,3\u27-triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), free thyroxine (FT4), and serum cortisol. These relationships were determined for males and females that were housed in two room arrangements. For both room arrangements, males and females were housed separately. For room arrangement 1, macaques were housed on both sides of the animal holding room. The sides of the animal holding room were designated as side A or side B. Blood was initially collected from animals on side A, then from animals on side B. Animals on side B were able to visually observe macaques on side A being physically restrained and sedated for blood collection. In room arrangement 2, the macaques were housed on only one side of the animal holding room and could not directly observe other animals being physically restrained and sedated for blood collection. The relationship for serum FT4 concentration with blood sample collection sequence was different for each room arrangement. For room arrangement 1, we observed an inverse relationship between serum FT4 concentration and the rank for order of blood collection. This finding was observed for males and females and was consistent with the lower serum Ff4 value observed for animals housed on room side B. We also observed a trend for higher serum T4 concentration on room side A, but the reverse was true for serum cortisol concentration. In contrast, a macaque\u27s rank for blood collection sequence in room arrangement 2 was not predictive of the rank for serum thyroid hormone (T3, T4, FT4) or serum cortisol concentration. These results suggest that the arrangement of cages in a nonhuman primate holding room contributes to the variability for serum FT4 concentrations

    Using alloy to formally model and reason about an OpenFlow network switch

    Openflow provides a standard interface for separating a network into a data plane and a programmatic control plane. This enables easy network reconfiguration, but introduces the potential for programming bugs to cause network effects. To study OpenFlow switch behavior, we used Alloy to create a software abstraction describing the internal state of a network and its OpenFlow switches. This work is an attempt to model the static and dynamic behaviour a network built using OpenFlow switches

    A Curvature Flow Unifying Symplectic Curvature Flow And Pluriclosed Flow

    Full text link
    Streets and Tian introduced pluriclosed flow and symplectic curvature flow in recent years. Here we construct a curvature flow to unify these two flows. We show the short time existence of our flow and exhibit an obstruction to long time existence.Comment: Corrected minor errors and updated references. Accepted in Pacific Journal of Mathematic

    Peak Flow Meter Equipped with Inspection Results Indicator

    Full text link
    Peak Flow Meter (PFM) is a tool to measure the Peak Flow of Air Expiration in the road (PFR) or commonly referred to as Peak Expiration Flow (PEF) and to connect asthma. The value of PEF can help a number of factors in age, respiratory muscle strength, height and gender. Airway measurements are used to measure patients suffering from asthma. This peak flow meter tool works based on the air pressure produced from the patient\u27s puff using the MPX5100GP pressure sensor in the range of 0 to 100 kPa and the voltage output is 0.2 to 4.7 VDC to increase wind pressure in the patient. From the pressure converted to voltage and enter the 0 from the Arduino nano minimum system circuit to be processed into analog data and then put into units of liters / second, the value of the flow meter is sent and replaced to a PC with the Delphi7 application. The measurement results of PEF values at peak flow meters have an error value of less than 5% This peak flow meter tool also has a consideration value of 0.095475 so that this tool can be said to be very certain to be used as asthma. Then it can be concluded that the peak flow meter is feasible and meets the specified requirement
