A method to monitor urinary carbon dioxide in patients with septic shock
PublicationSevere sepsis and septic shock are life-threatening conditions with mortality rates exceeding 31% (Levy et al., 2012) [1]. Septicemia was the most expensive US hospital condition in 2011 (Torio and Andrews, 2006)[2]. Urinary carbon dioxide may provide rapid, clinically useful information about a patient’s status, empowering physicians to intervene earlier and improve septic shock mortality. The objective of this paper is to validate...

Genetic and biochemical characterization of yeasts isolated from Antarctic soil samples
PublicationThe Polish Arctowski Station is situated in the maritime Antarctic on the western shore ot' Admiralty Bay and encompasses terrestrial habitats which are not perma-nently covered by ice, in contrast to morę than 90% of the island's surface area. Over the past several decades, stud-ies exploring the soils of those habitats have revealed a considerable diversity of bacteria, filamentous fungi, and, to a lesser extent, yeasts; however,...

Down-regulation of DNA topoisomerase IIalpha leads to prolonged cell cycle transit in G2 and early M phases and increased survival to microtubule-interacting agents
PublicationInhibitory polimeryzacji mikrotubul wykazują preferencyjną toksyczność wobec komórek mitotycznych. W ramach tego projektu badaliśmy czy oporność komórek ludzkich białaczek na inhibitor mikrotubul, winkrystynę, prowadzi do zmian w regulacji progresji cyklu komórkowego. Nasze wyniki wskazują, że oporności na winkrystynę towarzyszą zmiany w długości fazy G2 i M w nieobecności i obecności inhibitora wrzeciona mitotycznego, nokodazolu....

Metals in the environment as risk factors for infectious diseases: gaps and opportunities
PublicationThis chapter aims to provide insights into current knowledge and gaps in our understanding of the influence that trace metals in the environment have on the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. By reducing immune function, trace metal deficiencies may substantially contribute to the global burden of diarhea, pneumonia, and malaria. Improved methods and biomarkers for assessing the risk of trace metals deficiencies and toxicities...

Isotope shifts of multipole lines of Pb I and Pb II
PublicationStudies of isotope shifts of three multipole lines between levels of the ground configuration 6s26p2 of Pb I, i.e.: 461.9 nm(1S0→3P1), 531.5 nm(1S0→3P2) and 733.2 nm(1D2→3P1), as well as 710.2 nm line (6s26p2P3∕2→6s26p2P1∕2) of Pb II are presented. We determined the isotope shifts between four stable isotopes: 204, 206, 207, 208. By the use of King plot analysis we were able to separate the mass and the field shifts. We found that...

Computer experiments with a parallel clonal selection algorithm for the graph coloring problem
PublicationArtificial immune systems (AIS) are algorithms that are based on the structure and mechanisms of the vertebrate immune system. Clonal selection is a process that allows lymphocytes to launch a quick response to known pathogens and to adapt to new, previously unencountered ones. This paper presents a parallel island model algorithm based on the clonal selection principles for solving the Graph Coloring Problem. The performance of...

Techno-economic analysis of a hybrid energy system for electrification using an off-grid solar/biogas/battery system employing HOMER: A case study in Vietnam
PublicationThe electrification of off-grid /island villages is a critical step towards improving the techno-economic circumstances of rural regions and the overall general growth of the country. However, consistent supply from a single source is not possible in these areas. Thus, a hybrid renewable energy system performs better in these conditions. The research challenge now is to identify the optimal combinations of HRES from the available...

The influence of accumulation area and the length of pedestrian route on functioning of roundabouts with traffic signals
Publicationtraffic volumes. This kind of intersection is commonly used in the centres of Polish cities on multilane roads and fairly common in the case of tram lines running through a central island. The increase of traffic flow volumes on left turn and U-turn has made this type of roundabout difficult to operate. Small storage areas around central islands are critical places that significantly influence the capacity of this kind of intersection....

Using Convolutional Neural Networks for Corneal Arcus Detection Towards Familial Hypercholesterolemia Screening
PublicationFamilial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a highly undiagnosed disease. Among FH patients, the onset of premature coronary artery disease is 13 times higher than in the general population. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to prevent cardiovascular diseases and their complications, and to prolong life. One of the clinical criteria of FH is the occurrence of a corneal arcus (CA) among patients, especially those under 45 years...
