Strongyloidiasis associated with nephrotic syndrome

We report a nephrotic syndrome patient with eosinophilia who developed ileus, epigastralgia and malabsorption due to strongyloidiasis which became symptomatic by steroid therapy. The patient was then treated with thiabendazole and recovered. A percutaneous renal biopsy revealed minimal change nephrotic syndrome. This renal injury may be brought on by severe infection of Strongyloides stercoralis. It is important to rule out strongyloidiasis prior to corticosteroid therapy to patients from eosinophilia endemic areas.

The effect of wire history on the coarsened substructure and secondary recrystallization of doped tungsten

This article reports a study of primary and secondary recrystallization in tungsten wire. Samples with two different processing histories were annealed in the electron emission microscope, and the recrystallization process was followed. The fibers produced by drawing were first observed to widen and break up into shorter lengths. As the temperature was raised, the secondary recrystallization occurred in a characteristic, stepwise motion, with the secondary grain moving from one position to the next and then remaining pinned at the new position, sometimes for the entire length of the test. It was found that the temperature at which secondary recrystallization occurred depended on the heating rate. If a slow heating rate was used, the temperature at which secondary recrystallization occurred would be higher. This result was interpreted to mean that the slower heating rate allowed more strain to be annealed out of the wire before secondary recrystallization occurred and thus lowered the driving force for this process. The secondary recrystallization temperature could not be correlated with the primary grain structure or differences in the potassium bubble distribution in the wire. The primary recrystallized grain structures of the two wires were also different, and this difference, too, was attributed to differences in the amount of stored energy in the wire at the start of the annealing. It was also shown that even though the bulk potassium content of the two wires was the same and the bubble distributions in the two wires were similar, the bubble distributions in the ingots were different.     

Aging and prospective memory: Examining the influences of self-initiated retrieval processes.

Past research has frequently failed to find age differences in prospective memory. This article tested the possibility that age differences would be more likely to emerge on a prospective memory task that was high in self-initiated retrieval. In the 1st experiment, participants were asked to perform an action every 10 min (a time-based task presumed to be high in self-initiated retrieval); in the 2nd experiment, participants were asked to perform an action whenever a particular word was presented (an event-based task presumed to be relatively low in self-initiated retrieval). Age differences were found with the time-based task but not with the event-based task. This pattern of age differences was again found in a 3rd experiment in which a new experimental procedure was used and the nature of the prospective memory task was directly varied. Generally, the results suggest that self-initiated retrieval processes are an important component of age-related differences across both retrospective and prospective memory tasks.

Beta-gamma radiation from leaching resistant glasses containing uranium ions

The β and γ decay of uranium atoms from xUO₃(100 - x)[3B₂O₃ · MO] glass systems, where M=Sr or Pb and 0 ≤ × ≤ 20 mol%, is investigated. The γ decay data are very close to each other, for the same UO₃ contents, in both the systems. The composition dependence of the β decay exhibits a lower slope in the lead borate matrix than in the strontium borate matrix. The ratio between the β activity of samples with the same uranium ion concentrations in the two investigated glass systems is a function of the x values. The results are correlated with the amount of radioactive nuclides and with the structural environments of the radionuclides. The leaching treatment in water at temperatures below 100°C evidenced no aqueous dissolution of glass samples.     

A dilatometer for measuring autogenous deformation in hardening portland cement paste

Different techniques for measuring autogenous deformation in cement paste are discussed, and a newly developed dilatometer designed specially for measuring this deformation is described. A particular characteristic of the dilatometer is the encapsulation of the cement paste in corrugated moulds. This restricts moisture loss and ensures that the hardening cement paste suffers insignificant restraint. In addition, the encapsulation permits measurements to commence shortly after casting.     

Fracture toughness evaluation by tensile and charpy-type tests based on micromechanical models of materials

With the aim of applying micromechanical approaches to fracture mechanics, we carried out dynamic tensile tests and instrumented impact tests with Charpy-type specimens both with a V-shaped notch and with a crack. We compared two micromechanical strain-rate-dependent models based on a modified Gurson flow function by simulating various dynamically loaded specimens. The results of the tests indicate that the critical void volume fractionf _c and the characteristic lengthl _c are practically independent of the strain rate and the geometry of the specimen. The behavior of the specimens subjected to strains and fracture can be characterized by the parameters determined in tensile tests and impact tests with the Charpy-type specimens. By the three-dimensional analysis based on the strain-rate-dependent Gurson model, we predict the onset of crack growth inside the Charpy specimen.Fraunhofer Institut für Werkstoffmechanic, Freiburg, Deutschland.
