Exhaled breath condensate: Determination of non-volatile compounds and their potential for clinical diagnosis and monitoring. A review

Exhaled breath condensate is a promising, non-invasive, diagnostic sample obtained by condensation of exhaled breath. Starting from a historical perspective of early attempts of breath testing towards the contemporary state-of-the-art breath analysis, this review article focuses mainly on the progress in determination of non-volatile compounds in exhaled breath condensate. The mechanisms by which the aerosols/droplets of non-volatile compounds are formed in the airways are discussed with methodological consequences for sampling. Dilution of respiratory droplets is a major problem for correct clinical interpretation of the measured data and there is an urgent need for standardization of EBC. This applies also for collection instrumentation and therefore various commercial and in-house built devices are described and compared with regard to their design, function and collection parameters. The analytical techniques and methods for determination of non-volatile compounds as potential markers of oxidative stress and lung inflammation are scrutinized with an emphasis on method suitability, sensitivity and appropriateness. The relevance of clinical findings for each group of possible non-volatile markers of selected pulmonary diseases and methodological recommendations with emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration that is essential for future development into a fully validated clinical diagnostic tool are given.     

多元统计分析方法的理论研究及应用分析

多元统计分析在多指标实际问题的研究中起着重要的作用.以往文献中,一般采用某一种多元统计方法对一个多指标实际问题进行研究,但其结果存在一定的偏差性.采用四种典型的多元统计方法:主成分分析法、因子分析法、分层聚类和K-均值聚类方法对同一个多指标银行问题进行研究,并对四种方法的不同结果进行比较综合分析,这样可以避免单一方法的偏差性,以便得到的结果更合理、更具有说服力.     

Comparison of scale factor estimators for ultrasonic temperature monitoring: Application to structural health monitoring

In Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of materials, estimating the effects of environmental and operational conditions such as temperature is important. Indeed, temperature changes induce modifications of the mechanical properties of the material and therefore cause a dilation of the acoustic signals characterized by a scale factor. This paper described four scale factor estimators able to monitor changes in temperature: The short-time cross-correlation (STXC) method, the stretching method (STRE), the Minimum Variance Based Estimator method (MVBE) and the Scale Transform Based Estimator method (STBE). The first two methods have already been assessed in the literature while the latter two have been specifically developed for this study. First, closed-form for the Cramer-Rao bound on the estimates of the scale factor, from a simplified deterministic signal, are derived and simplified expressions are given. Then, a statistical evaluation of the quality of estimates is conducted through Monte-Carlo simulations using synthetic signals, based on a model taking into account the influence of temperature. A raw estimate of the computational complexity of signal processing methods also completes this evaluation phase. Finally, the experimental validation of estimation methods is conducted on an aluminum plate subjected to temperatures variations in a controlled thermal environment. The temperature estimates are then faced with an analytical model describing the material behavior.     

Direct modulation and optical confinement factor modulation of semiconductor lasers

Abstract

A method for modulation of semiconductor lasers is demonstrated. The method is based on the modulation of the optical confinement factor. Using this method an enhanced—3-dB bandwidth is observed in agreement with the small signal rate equation analysis. A modulation response that drops at high frequencies slower than the conventional direct current modulation response is achieved. This supports the theoretical predictions, showing an intrinsic 1/f decay rate for the optical confinement factor modulation scheme versus an intrinsic 1/f² decay for direct modulation.     

BSDE approach to utility maximization with square-root factor processes

We consider the utility-based portfolio selection problem in a continuous-time setting. We assume the market price of risk depends on a stochastic factor that satisfies an affine-form, square-root, Markovian model. This financial market framework includes the classical geometric Brownian motion, CEV model, and Heston’s model as special cases. Adopting the BSDE approach, we obtain closed-form solutions for the optimal portfolio strategies and value functions for the logarithmic, power, and exponential utility functions.     

基于荧光光谱技术的菜籽油氧化状态智能评价

菜籽油在加工及贮藏过程中，易受氧气、温度、光照等因素的影响，产生氧化酸败现象。为准确判断油脂氧化程度，实现不同氧化模式下菜籽油品质的快速判别，采用三维同步荧光光谱技术结合平行因子分析法及BP神经网络法建立菜籽油氧化状态的智能评价模型。以冷榨菜籽油为原料，将样品分别置于常温、Schaal烘箱、高温模式中氧化处理，期间采集菜籽油的三维同步荧光光谱数据及理化指标，当理化指标超出国标限定范围时，停止采集数据。结果表明，菜籽油中荧光物质在不同氧化模式中的演变规律呈显著差异，氧化温度对菜籽油荧光光谱有明显影响。常温氧化350 d与第1 d相比，菜籽油的特征荧光峰位置无变化，仅在激发波长Ex为620和660 nm附近荧光峰强度发生微弱变化；Schaal烘箱氧化26 d后，在激发波长Ex为620和660 nm附近荧光峰强度显著减弱，且在激发波长Ex为350～450 nm之间有新的荧光峰生成；高温氧化48 h后，Ex为620和660 nm处荧光峰消失，在Ex为400～550 nm处产生显著荧光峰，相对Schaal烘箱氧化，荧光波长发生一定程度红移，这是由于高温氧化过程中油脂氧化生成的物质稳定性较差引起的。利用平行因子分析法对三维同步荧光光谱数据进行分解获取有效的二维荧光光谱数据，当组分数为6，Δλ=60 nm时激发波长的载荷值最大，不同样品间差异最显著。选定Δλ=60 nm波段的二维荧光光谱数据用于智能评价，作为BP神经网络模型的输入值，以极性组分作为模型输出值，分别对菜籽油三种氧化模式数据建模训练。实验结果表明，三种氧化模式对应的训练集、验证集、测试集模型相关系数r均能达到0.9以上，其中常温氧化模式中验证集及测试集模型的相关系数r为1，输出值与目标值较接近，模型的预测效果较好；综合三种氧化模式数据建模，对应训练集、验证集、测试集模型的相关系数分别为0.999，0.913和0.988，均方误差均较小，说明该模型能准确判断菜籽油的不同氧化状态。因此，三维同步荧光光谱技术结合平行因子分析法、BP神经网络法建立快速检测模型能实现菜籽油不同氧化状态的判别，为菜籽油的氧化程度的评价提供新方法，同时为其他食用油的品质评价提供参考。     

Correlation between Boron Isotope of Coral Acropora and pH Value of Seawater Surface

A water circulation system with the almost same element composition and socket type was adopted in coral Acropora culture under different seawater pH value conditions and the data of the relationship between boron isotopic compositions of coral and seawater pH value by thermoelectric ionization mass spectrometer were obtained. According to the correlations between α_carb-3 of coral and the pH value of cultured seawater, α_carb-3 was not a constant but related to pH value, indicating that B(OH)₃ also incorporated carbonate. Therefore, the theoretical formula could not be used to calculate the seawater pH value from the δ¹¹B_carb value of the measured marine biological carbonate. The empirical equations obtained experimentally would be an alternative method to calculate the seawater pH value. In addition, the mixed precipitation of CaCO₃ and Mg(OH)₂ was found in aquaculture tanks with high pH value, and the δ¹¹B of the solid was significantly higher than that of cultured seawater. The result indicated that the presence of Mg(OH)₂ had a significant effect on the boron isotope fractionation, which deserved our attention.     

Three-dimensional interfacial fracture analysis of a one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal coating

In this paper, the three-dimensional (3D) interfacial fracture is analyzed in a one-dimensional (1D) hexagonal quasicrystal (QC) coating structure under mechanical loading. A planar interface crack with arbitrary shape is studied by a displacement discontinuity method. Fundamental solutions of interfacial concentrated displacement discontinuities are obtained by the Hankel transform technique, and the corresponding boundary integral-differential equations are constructed with the superposition principle. Green’s functions of constant interfacial displacement discontinuities within a rectangular element are derived, and a boundary element method is proposed for numerical simulation. The singularity of stresses near the crack front is investigated, and the stress intensity factors (SIFs) as well as energy release rates (ERRs) are determined. Finally, relevant influencing factors on the fracture behavior are discussed.
