ITER CODAC interface for the visible and infra-red wide angle viewing cameras

The amount of data generated by the infra-red and visible cameras at ITER is expected to be considerably larger than most diagnostics. ITER will have 12 infra-red cameras plus 12 visible cameras in four different equatorial port plugs. Each of the ports will have a Plant System Host (PSH) that will provide a standard image of the plant system to the ITER's Control and Data Access and Communication (CODAC) system.The two key functions of these cameras will be the scientific exploitation with the detection of interesting physics events and the operational protection of the machine, namely the first wall. Already assuming high bandwidth requirements for both audio and video, ITER will provide a separate network for this kind of communication, which will be used to transmit both the experimental and informational data provided by the cameras.This paper presents the current camera plant system design and its interaction with ITER CODAC system and networks. Starting from the camera specifications several alternatives for data collection and compression are discussed. The required inputs from CODAC and a first specification for the internal finite state machine are also presented. Finally, a possible hardware straw man design solution for the plant system hardware is proposed.

Antimicrobial resistance and phage and molecular typing of Salmonella strains isolated from food for human consumption in Spain

The aims of this study were to ascertain the population structure and antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella enterica serovars isolated in 2002 from food in 16 Spanish regions. Serovars were characterized by serotyping, phage typing, antimicrobial susceptibility, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing, and 264 nonrelated strains were selected for further analysis. The main sources were eggs and their derivatives (21.6% of strains), poultry and related products (16.6%), and seafood (16.3%). High serotype diversity was detected (51 serotypes); the most common were Enteritidis (n = 96, 36.3%) and Typhimurium (n = 53, 20.1%), followed by a miscellaneous group of 49 different serotypes (n = 115, 43.5%). A 15% increase in Salmonella Enteritidis isolation was observed. Common phage types for Salmonella Enteritidis were PT1 (41.6% of isolates), PT4 (9.4%), PT6 (9.4%), and PT6a (9.4%), and common types for Salmonella Typhimurium were DTU302 (18.8%), DT104 (15.1%), and DT104B (13.2%). Salmonella Enteritidis strains were categorized into eight PFGE types with a similarity of 81 to 96%, and 73.9% of the strains were grouped into just one cluster. Salmonella Typhimurium isolates were divided into 13 PFGE types with a similarity of 64 to 86%, and one predominant clone contained 41.5% of the strains. Resistance rates for Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella Typhimurium, and the miscellaneous group were, respectively, 8.3, 69.8, and 13.9% for ampicillin, 3.1, 52.8, and 59% for streptomycin, 40.6, 22.6, and 10.4% for nalidixic acid, 15.6, 71.7, and 31.1% for tetracycline, 7.3, 18.8, and 9.5% for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, 0, 50.9, and 4.3% for chloramphenicol, and 6.2, 71.7, and 17.4% for multiple (at least four) antimicrobials. All the strains remained susceptible to other beta-lactams and fluoroquinolones. Surveillance of S. enterica isolated from food is strongly recommended to reduce community exposure to antimicrobial resistant strains.     

Zero Risk Does Not Exist: Lessons Learned from Microbial Risk Assessment Related to Use of Water and Safety of Fresh Produce

Risk assessments related to use of water and safety of fresh produce originate from both water and food microbiology studies. Although the set‐up and methodology of risk assessment in these 2 disciplines may differ, analysis of the current literature reveals some common outcomes. Most of these studies from the water perspective focus on enteric virus risks, largely because of their anticipated high concentrations in untreated wastewater and their resistance to common wastewater treatments. Risk assessment studies from the food perspective, instead, focus mainly on bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella and pathogenic Escherichia coli. Few site‐specific data points were available for most of these microbial risk assessments, meaning that many assumptions were necessary, which are repeated in many studies. Specific parameters lacking hard data included rates of pathogen transfer from irrigation water to crops, pathogen penetration, and survival in or on food crops. Data on these factors have been investigated over the last decade and this should improve the reliability of future microbial risk estimates. However, the sheer number of different foodstuffs and pathogens, combined with water sources and irrigation practices, means that developing risk models that can span the breadth of fresh produce safety will be a considerable challenge. The new approach using microbial risk assessment is objective and evidence‐based and leads to more flexibility and enables more tailored risk management practices and guidelines. Drawbacks are, however, capacity and knowledge to perform the microbial risk assessment and the need for data and preferably data of the specific region.

胰腺癌综合治疗现状及其价值

任何单一疗法治疗胰腺癌都难以获得理想的疗效。目前,可切除胰腺癌的治疗仍以根治性切除为主。放射治疗与手术联合应用,可提高手术切除率,减少肿瘤扩散;术中放疗可以缓解疼痛,提高生存率;对术后辅助放化疗的作用仍有争议。区域性化疗理论上有诸多优势,但仍需数据支持。物理治疗和生物治疗在胰腺癌的治疗中也已经得到广泛的重视。但只有建立以手术切除为主,联合放疗、化疗、物理及生物治疗的综合治疗体系,才有可能根本改变治疗现状,显著提高长期生存率,并改善生活质量。介入治疗作为重要的姑息治疗方法之一,近年来得到了长足的发展。     

覆膜Y型单子弹头气道支架治疗左主支气管胸膜瘘12例

【摘要】 目的 评估应用Y型单子弹头覆膜气道支架封堵残端较短的左主支气管胸膜瘘的临床效果。方法 回顾性分析2010年8月—2013年9月收治的12例残端较短的左主支气管胸膜瘘患者,根据这类患者支气管残端较短的解剖结构特点,个体化定制Y型单子弹头覆膜气道内支架。在X线监视下,12例患者共置入12枚Y型单子弹头内支架。观察患者支架置入后瘘口愈合情况。结果 12枚支架均一次性置入成功,内支架置入后瘘口即刻完全封堵,随访3 ～ 17个月;6例瘘口封堵良好,支架置入后3个月取出,瘘口愈合、残腔消失;5例复查胸部多排螺旋CT（MSCT）显示支架子弹头部周围软组织较薄,残腔较前明显缩小,未取出支架,继续负压引流,带支架生存至今。1例高龄患者,支架置入前已存在重度肺部感染,支架置入后瘘口虽即刻完全封堵,但术后未能控制原有肺部感染,加之体质虚弱,术后2周死于肺部重度感染和机体衰竭。结论 应用Y型单子弹头覆膜自膨式内支架封堵残端较短的左主支气管胸膜瘘患者的瘘口,近期临床效果可靠,值得推广应用。

以某低速二冲程船用柴油机为研究对象，结合弹性流体动力学、多体动力学以及有限元方法，建立了包含机架-机座-主轴承盖-曲轴的整机动力学润滑耦合分析模型，对低速船舶柴油机主轴承的润滑性能进行研究。研究结果表明:第7主轴承(靠近飞轮端)润滑性能最为恶劣，总压峰值达到87.95 MPa，高出其他主轴承19.7%至413.7%不等；在整个推进工况主轴承油膜厚度均满足最小膜厚要求；不同工况轴承液动润滑和混合润滑的时间占比也不尽相同，液动润滑占比从100%负荷的20.7%提高到25%负荷的99.3%；轴承结构对主轴承的润滑磨损性能有较大影响，径向间隙的设计须综合考虑油膜承载与摩擦功耗。
