Grain Growth Behavior of 5Cr21Mn9Ni4N Steel Micro-Alloyed by Rare Earth

Grain growth behavior of 5Cr21Mn9Ni4NRE steel was experimentally studied at various solid solution treatment temperatures and holding for different times. The experimental results show that the 5Cr21Mn9Ni4NRE steel has the feature of sharp austenite grain coarsening after solid solution treatment at the temperature above 1150 ℃. RE added in the steel has the benefit to restrain grain growth and increase grain growth activation energy.

Average consensus in networks of dynamic agents with switching topologies and multiple time-varying delays

In this paper, we discuss average consensus problem in undirected networks of dynamic agents with fixed and switching topologies as well as multiple time-varying communication delays. By employing a linear matrix inequality method, we prove that all the nodes in the network achieve average consensus asymptotically for appropriate communication delays if the network topology is connected. Particularly, several feasible linear matrix inequalities are established to determine the maximal allowable upper bound of time-varying communication delays. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the sharpness of the theoretical results.     

Quadtree-based genetic algorithm and its applications to computer vision

Many computer vision problems can be formulated as optimization problems. Presented in this paper is a new framework based on the quadtree-based genetic algorithm that can be applied to solve many of these problems. The proposed algorithm incorporates the quadtree structure into the conventional genetic algorithm. The solutions of image-related problems are encoded through encoding the corresponding quadtrees, and therefore, the 2D locality within a solution can be preserved. Examples addressed using the proposed framework include image segmentation, stereo vision, and motion estimation. In all cases, encouraging results are obtained.

Cardiorespiratory effects of conventional and high frequency ventilation in rabbits with bilateral pneumothoraces and surfactant depleted lungs

We compared high frequency ventilation (HFV) to conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) under normoxic and normocapnic condition in surfactant depleted rabbits with bilateral pneumothoraces. We hypothesized that lower airway pressures would be required with HFV under these conditions. We applied CMV and HFV in 8 anaesthetized rabbits with a prototype ventilator at frequencies of 30, 100, 200, and 300 cycles/min. A positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) just below the pressure sufficient to open the air leak from the pneumothoraces was applied at all frequencies. Airway pressures, gas exchange, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure were recorded. Peak airway pressure decreased significantly from 2.50 to 2.10 kPa when the frequency of ventilation was increased from 30 to 300 cycles/min. There were no significant changes in mean airway pressure, PaO2, arterial pH, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure when HFV was compared to CMV. In conclusion, during HFV peak airway pressures measured at the mouth were decreased. Our ability to maintain adequate gas exchange in the face of ongoing pulmonary air leaks may reflect lower alveolar pressures.     

Paget's disease of the breast in a man without underlying breast carcinoma

A case of histologically confirmed Paget's disease of the breast in a 72 year old man, without underlying breast carcinoma, is reported. This report raises questions about the pathogenesis of this condition and suggests that Paget's disease is an independent, intraepidermal carcinoma rather than a direct extension of intraductal carcinoma of the breast to the nipple and areola.     

Association of symptoms of depression with diagnostic test charges among older adults

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have documented greater use of health services by depressed persons and have postulated that health care costs could be reduced overall through better recognition and treatment of depression. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a greater burden of medical illness contributes to excess charges for diagnostic tests among older adults with symptoms of depression. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: A primary care group practice at an academic institution. PATIENTS: 3767 patients 60 years of age and older who completed testing on the Centers for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) during routine office visits. MEASUREMENTS: Charges for all inpatient and ambulatory diagnostic testing for 2 years, including clinical pathology, diagnostic imaging, and special procedures; number of visits to the ambulatory care center or emergency department; and number of hospitalizations. The Ambulatory Care Group case-mix approach, which is based on ambulatory diagnoses, was used as a measure of health status and expected resource consumption. RESULTS: Patients with symptoms of depression (CES-D scores > or = 16) were significantly younger (66.6 compared with 68.1 years; P < 0.001), more likely to be white (50.5% compared with 33.9%; P = 0.001), and more likely to be female (75.8% compared with 67.6%; P = 0.001) than were those without these symptoms (CES-D scores < 16). They also had more nonpsychiatric comorbid conditions, had more visits to the ambulatory care center (9.2 compared with 7.8; P < 0.001), were more likely to use the emergency department (52.3% compared with 40%; P = 0.001), were more likely to be hospitalized (22.4% compared with 17%; P = 0.002), and had greater median total diagnostic test charges for a period of 1 year ($583 compared with $387; P < 0.001). The difference in charges, most of which were clinical pathology charges (54.2%), persisted into the second year. Ambulatory Care Group assignment was independently associated with diagnostic test charges. The CES-D summary score was not independently associated with diagnostic test charges when controlling for Ambulatory Care Group assignment. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with symptoms of depression accrue greater average diagnostic test charges. However, these data suggest that such patients also have a greater burden of comorbid nonpsychiatric illness. Efforts to improve outcome and decrease cost for patients who have late-life depression must target interventions to improve the care of psychiatric and medical illness concurrently.
