Acquired autoimmune thrombocytopenia post-bone marrow transplantation for severe combined immunodeficiency

Children with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) have profoundly diminished humoral and cellular immunity resulting in death during infancy unless immune reconstitution occurs by bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Thrombocytopenia post-bone marrow transplantation can be seen in relation to infection, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and rarely, as an autoimmune phenomenon due to immune dysregulation. We report two cases of severe AITP following BMT for SCID. Both cases developed large intracerebral hemorrhages from which one died. Autoimmune thrombocytopenia in this setting can be life-threatening and we recommend early and active intervention.     

THE EFFECT OF CATHODIC PROTECTION POTENTIAL ON CORROSION FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH RATE OF AN OFFSHORE STRUCTURAL STEEL

Abstract— Duplicate tests have been performed to determine the effect of cathodic protection potential on corrosion fatigue crack growth rate of a modern offshore structural steel, produced by thermo-mechanically controlled processes. The experiments were carried out using compact tension specimens exposed to artificial seawater at 10°C and subjected to constant amplitude loading at 0.35 Hz. Reproducible results showed that the merits of cathodic protection potentials are strongly dependent on stress intensity ratio R and stress intensity range Δ K . It appears that a specific value of cathodic potential may not give comprehensive protection against corrosion fatigue within the spectrum of variable amplitude loading experienced in service. Fractography showed the initiation of secondary cracks on the fracture surface to be associated with the dissolution of calcium sulphide inclusions, regardless of imposed cathodic potential.

Effect of electrolytic hydrogen charging on the corrosion activity of a freshly formed surface of V92ts alloy

For V92ts aluminum alloy, it is established that electrolytic hydrogenation of a freshly formed fracture surface does not affect its electrode potential regardless of alloy aging conditions. However, the relaxation time of the potential of the hydrogen-charged freshly formed alloy surface and its corrosion intensity depend on the aging conditions.Lomonosov Odessa Technological Institute of the Food Industry, Odessa.

Pore‐free mold‐pattern‐transfer method for barrier ribs of HD PDPs

Abstract— Among various barrier‐rib manufacturing processes, the mold‐pattern‐transfer method has potential to reduce processing cost as well as the manufacture of high‐resolution pixels. In this study, the effects of major processing variables of the mold‐pattern‐transfer process on the formation of air‐trapped pores within barrier ribs were examined. The results indicated that with an optimum combination of the processing variables, barrier ribs without trapped defects can be produced, demonstrating the possibility of reducing the number of processing steps and costs of barrier ribs.     

Representation and uniformization of algebraic transductions

This paper explores different means of representation for algebraic transductions, i.e., word relations realized by pushdown transducers. The relevance of this work lies more in its point of view rather than any particular result. We are aiming at giving specific techniques for obtaining, or perhaps explaining, decompositions of algebraic (and incidentally, rational) relations, relying solely on their “machine” definition rather than some complex algebraic apparatus. From this point of view, we are hoping to have demystified the heavy formalism employed in the present literature. Some of the novelties of our work are: the use of “stack languages” and “embeddings,” which eliminate the need of arbitrary context-free languages in our characterizations, the study of uniformizations for algebraic transductions and the use of the so-called stack transductions for exposing the anatomy of pushdown transducers.This work was supported by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada grants R220259 and OGP0041630.     

Radioactive contamination of bukhtas and bays on the Kola Peninsula and Novaya Zemlya and in the Far East

The characteristics of the radioactive contamination of bukhtas and bays are determined: the nonuniformity of the radionuclide distribution in the water and bottom deposits, the rate of accumulation of sediments, the distribution ratio, and the turbulent diffusion coefficient. A characteristic feature is the strong nonuniformity of the radionuclide distribution in bottom sediments. A mathematical model is proposed for radionuclide transport and water of bukhtas taking account of flow, turbulent diffusion, and settling of suspensions. Possible explanations are proposed for the characteristics of the radionuclide distribution in bukhtas. The reason for weak turbulent diffusion in bukhtas is examined. __________ Translated from Atomnaya énergiya, Vol. 103, No. 10, pp. 263–268, October, 2007.     

ID-based threshold decryption secure against adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack

This paper proposes an identity-based threshold decryption scheme IB-ThDec and reduces its security to the Bilinear Diffie-Hellman problem. Compared with previous work, this conceals two pairing computations in the ciphertext validity verification procedure. The formal proof of security of this scheme is provided in the random oracle model. Additionally, we show that IB-ThDec can be applied to the threshold key escrow and the mediated cryptosystems.
