Intelligent Painting Process Planner for Robotic Bridge Painting

Due to increased government regulations on environment, health, and safety, the cost of on-site bridge painting has quadrupled over the past several years. The construction industry faces a great challenge in how to control the increased costs of bridge painting and meet the regulations at the same time. A possible solution to address this challenge is to develop a robotic bridge painting system. The development of the robotic system can be justified by the potential improvements in safety and productivity. This paper presents the development and testing of an Intelligent Painting Process Planner. The Planner, built based on bridge feature scheme, is the key component for the robotic bridge painting system that integrates the painting process planning, robot path planning, cost optimization, and quality control functions. During the development process, lab experiments were conducted to determine the values of painting process planning parameters and coating thickness distribution functions. Field tests demonstrated that the prototype robotic bridge painting system achieved the specified painting quality using the parameter values provided by the Planner. Areas that need to be improved in the future were also identified.     

Selective employment of chemokine receptors as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 coreceptors determined by individual amino acids within the envelope V3 loop

The chemokine receptor CCR5 acts as an essential cofactor for cell entry by macrophage-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains, whereas CXCR4 acts as an essential cofactor for T-cell-line-adapted strains. We demonstrated that the specific amino acids in the V3 loop of the HIV-1 envelope protein that determine cellular tropism also regulate chemokine coreceptor preference for cell entry by the virus. Further, a strong correlation was found between HIV-1 strains classified as syncytium inducing in standard assays and those using CXCR4 as a coreceptor. These data support the hypothesis that progressive adaptation to additional coreceptors is a key molecular basis for HIV-1 phenotypic evolution in vivo.     

Comparison of two methods of surfactant administration and the effect on dosing-associated hypoxemia

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to test the hypothesis that surfactant dosing through a proximal sideport adapter on an endotracheal tube leads to more dosing-associated hypoxemia compared with a method of dosing that uses a double-lumen endotracheal tube. STUDY DESIGN: Using adequate sample size to compare significant changes in O2 saturation (power > 0.8, alpha < 0.05) we enrolled 36 infants with respiratory distress syndrome in this randomized trial. A 10% change in O2 saturation was considered clinically significant. Nineteen infants received 38 doses of surfactant through the sideport adapter. Seventeen infants received 31 doses of surfactant through the nonventilation lumen of a double-lumen endotracheal tube. Two main outcome measures were assessed: time-averaged O2 saturation values 30 minutes after dosing and the largest absolute fall in O2 saturation for each patient. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Time-averaged O2 saturation measures were higher in the proximal sideport group (p = 0.02), but the magnitude of difference was probably not clinically significant. No significant difference was detected between groups when we compared largest absolute drop in O2 saturation. Secondary analyses found no effect of birth weight or dose number (second vs third dose) on either outcome measure.

Red-green colour blindness in the Tormes-Alberche Valley (Avila-Central Spain)

A population from a Central Spanish region (Tormes-Alberche Valley) has been investigated for the presence of red-green colour vision defects. A sample of 998 subjects (469 male and 529 female) was analyzed. To identify colour vision defects, Ishihara test plates were used. The red-green colour blindness percentage obtained was 4.69 +/- 0.976% for males (2.13% protan and 2.56% deutan types) and none of the females tested were found to be colour blind. These results are within the variation range of Mediterranean populations and lower than the usual frequencies among non-Mediterranean European samples.
