Influence of age on serum prostate specific antigen concentration

322 men who had not prostatic diseases were selected at random for defining the characteristics of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) in order to use PSA more appropriately in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. The serum PSA concentration is correlated with patient age (r = 0.301; P < 0.0001), PSA is increased with age. The recommended upper limits (mean +2 standard deviations) for serum PSA for men aged 20-49 years was 2.71 ng/ml; for 50-59 years, 5.01ng/ml; for 60-69 years, 6.05 ng/ml; and for greater than or equal to 70 years, 7.92 ng/ml. Our findings led to proposals for using age-specific PSA reference range instead of a single reference range for men of all age groups. These age-specific reference ranges have the potential to increase the specificity of using PSA for detecting prostate cancer.

A new method for calculating loss coefficients [of power systems]

A method is proposed which avoids many limitations associated with traditional B-coefficient loss coefficient calculation. The proposed method, unlike the traditional B-coefficient method, is very fast and can handle line outages. The method utilizes network sensitivity factors which are established from DC load flow solutions, Line outage distribution factors (ODFs) are formulated using changes in network power generations to simulate the outaged line from the network. The method avoids the use of complicated reference frame transformations based upon Kron's tenser analysis. The necessity of data normalization used in least squares and the evaluation of the slope of &thetas;_j versus PG_n is not necessary with the proposed method. Using IEEE standard 14-bus and 30-bus systems, the method's results are compared against results obtained from an AC load flow program (LFED). The method's solution speed is compared to that of the LFED method, the base case database method and the conventional B-coefficient method based on A_jn-factor. The proposed method is easy to implement and, when compared to other methods, has exhibited good accuracy and rapid execution times. The method is well suited to online dispatch applications     

Conductor design with high-Tc superconducting Bi(Pb)—2223/Ag multifilamentary tapes

With high upper critical fields, high temperature superconductors (HTSC) have been recognised as candidate materials for coil and magnet applications. High field devices, at one time or another, when operated close to their rated limits are often faced with instability problems which normally are electrical, magnetic or mechanical in nature. The determination of stability parameters, therefore, is of interest to the conductor designer which very much assists in the processing aspect of long length production of wires and tapes. Due to the morphology of the superconductor most HTSC devices made with Bi(Pb)—2223 precursor exist in tape form. Here the determination of stability parameters (for flux-jump and cryogenic stability) for multifilamentary Bi(Pb)—2223/Ag tapes are presented. Processing parameters such as intermediate deformation and filling factors have been found to play a crucial role, not only on the critical current density of the tapes but on the stability aspect in conductor design as well.
