Even though the primo vascular system (PVS) has been observed in large caliber lymph vessels by several independent teams, the presence of the PVS in the thoracic duct has been reported by only one team, probably because reproducing the experiment is technically difficult. This brief report presents a new, relatively straightforward method, which is a simple modification of the previous method of dye injection into the lumbar node, to observe the PVS in a thoracic duct of a rat by injecting Alcian blue into the renal node. When this new method was applied to a rat, the branching of the primo vessel in the thoracic duct was clearly displayed. Thus, this new method is expected to extend the network of the PVS from abdominal lymph ducts to thoracic ones.

Though primo vessels are frequently found in the lymph near the abdominal aorta of rabbit by Alcian blue dye, the reproductions are still difficult to require considerable skills and technical know-how at dissected tissue of animal species. However, in the inguinal lymph node of a rabbit we found a long-type primo vascular system (LTP) dyed with Alcian blue, from an abdominal lymph vessel to an inguinal lymph node. The length of LTP was over an average length of 9.1 cm. The average diameters of the primo and the lymph vessels were about 23.9 μm and 242 μm, respectively. The primo vessels were not floating but adhered to lymph vessels with fascial connective tissue. These primo vessels might be a functional integration in the lymph system.

Cluster Correlation

Most of the document summary are arranged extractive by taking important sentences from the document. Extractive based summarization often not consider the connection sentence.  A good sentence ordering should aware about rhetorical relations such as cause-effect relation, topical relevancy and chronological sequence which exist between the sentences.  Based on this problem, we propose a new method for sentence ordering in multi document summarization using cluster correlation and probability for English documents. Sentences of multi-documents are grouped based on similarity into clusters. Sentence extracted from each cluster to be a summary that will be listed based on cluster correlation and probability. User evaluation showed that the summary result of proposed method easier to understanding than the previous method. The result of ROUGE method also shows increase on sentence arrangement compared to previous method.

Concentration Curves

Five-hour time-concentration curves were obtained after injection of T-1824, I131-labeled human albumin, and I131-labeled dog fibrinogen. The albumin and fibrinogen curves can be roughly divided into 3 segments (0–20 min, 20–70 min, and 70–310 min), each showing a different mean slope. The T-1824 curves show only one change in slope, at 20 min. After at least 70 min the dye left the circulation at a much greater rate than either of the iodinated proteins. Thoracic duct lymph return indicated that 12.9% of the injected iodinated albumin, 8.3% of the T-1824, and 6.3% of the iodinated fibrinogen was returned over the 310-min period. The spaces measured by the T-1824 and the iodinated albumin were not significantly different, whereas the fibrinogen measured a significantly smaller space than either of the former. It is inferred that the dye-protein complex might be broken within the vascular system. Also, the loss of fibrinogen from the capillary is less han for the iodinated albumin.

Bearing System

This paper presents a new method which can identify the structure parameters (such as the bearing parameters, the nonlinear rub-impact parameters, and so on) of a nonlinear rotor-bearing system. Based on an improved kriging surrogate model and evolutionary algorithm (IKSMEA), the new method can provide more accurate results with less computation time. The initial kriging surrogate model (KSM) is constructed by the samples of varying structure parameters and their response values. According to the identified process, a multi-point addition criterion is proposed and more appropriate predicted points are added to update the KSM. Numerical studies and experimental validation of a nonlinear rotor-bearing system are performed. Comparing to the previous method (KSM and evolutionary algorithm), the new method satisfies the condition of convergence with less updating steps and increased robustness to noise. The identified results indicate that the IKSMEA can identify the nonlinear rotor system more effectively and accurately.

New equations for calculating residual stress distribution are derived from the theory of elasticity for tubes. The initial distribution of the stresses including the shearing stress is computed from longitudinal distributions of residual stresses measured by the X-ray methods at the surface after removal of successive concentric layers of material. For example, the residual stresses of a steel tube quenched in water were measured by the X-ray diffraction method. The new method was also applied to a short tube with hypothetical residual stress distribution. An alternative finite element analysis was made for a verification. The residual stresses computed by finite element modeling agreed well with the hypothetical residual stresses measured. This shows that good results can be expected from the new method. The equations can also be used for bars by simple modification.

Abstract A new method is given for determining the relative alkalinity of reclaimed rubber. The extraction of the alkaline material is based on a digestion of the sample in a mixture of ethanol, benzene, and water. The method is compared with the previous method described by the authors in 1928. The experimental figures given show that the new method gives results which are dependable, and approximately four times as accurate as the previous method. The higher degree of accuracy is due to the elimination of much of the personal error, the extraction of a larger percentage of alkaline material, and a more accurate titration end point. The purpose of this paper is to present a method for determining the relative alkalinity of reclaimed rubber which, in the authors??? opinion, has certain advantages over other methods in use at present.

Abstract This paper presents a new method of simulating the dynamic flow and pressure of laminar liquid flow through pipes of arbitrarily changing cross section. This method uses a segmented model based on the previously presented tapered transmission line model (TLM). This new method is computationally efficient and has comparable accuracy to previous methods such as the method of characteristics (MOC), but allow for more flexibility in solution time-step (such as accommodating variable time-step solvers), which is required if the rest of the system model has stiff equations. For the sample geometry presented, the new model calculates the dynamic response an order of magnitude faster than the previous method of characteristics solution, with minimal loss of accuracy.

We develop a new probabilistic forecasting method for global horizontal irradiation (GHI) by extending our previous bootstrap method to a case of an exponentially decaying heteroscedastic model for tracking dynamics in solar radiance. Our previous method catered for the global systematic variation in variance of solar radiation, whereas our new method also caters for the local variation in variance. We test the performance of our new probabilistic forecasting method against our old probabilistic forecasting method at three locations: Adelaide, Darwin, and Mildura. These locations are chosen to represent three distinct climates. The prediction interval coverage probability, prediction interval normalized averaged width and Winkler score results from our new probabilistic forecasting method are encouraging. Our new method performs better than our previous method at Adelaide and Mildura; regions with a higher proportion of clear-sky days, whereas our previous method performs better than our new method at Darwin; a region with a lower proportion of clear-sky days. These results suggest that the ideal probabilistic forecasting method might be climate specific.
