Abstract: An Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) moored at the deep-sea ANTARES neutrino telescope site near Toulon, France, measured downward vertical currents of amplitudes up to 0.03 m s−1 in spring 2006. The currents were accompanied by enhanced levels of acoustic reflection by a factor of about 10 and by horizontal currents reaching 0.35 m s−1. These observations coincided with high levels of bioluminescence detected by the telescope. Although during winter 2006 deep dense-water formation occurred in this area, episodes of high levels of suspended particles and large vertical currents continuing into the summer are not direct evidence of this process. It is hypothesized that the main process allowing for particles to be moved across the entire water column (2500 m) within a few days, is local convection, triggered by small-mesoscale phenomena, such as meanders including a bipolar vortex, linked with boundary current instabilities.

Abstract: Article paru sous le titre final "DRACCAR: A multi-physics code for computational analysis of multi-rod ballooning, coolability and fuel relocation during LOCA transients. Part Two: Overview of modeling capabilities for LOCA"; International audience; Computational predictions concerning ballooning of multiple fuel pin bundles during a loss-of-coolant accident with a final reflooding phase are now more than ever of interest in the framework of light water reactor nuclear safety. To carry out these studies, two difficulties have to be overcome. First, the modeling has to take into account many coupled phenomena such as heat transfer (heat generation, radiation, convection and conduction), hydraulics (multidimensional 2-phase flow, blockage), mechanics (thermal expansion, creep, embrittlement) and chemistry (oxidation, hydriding). Secondly, there are only a few experimental investigations that can help to validate such complex coupled modeling. Over several years, IRSN has developed the 3D computational tool DRACCAR to investigate rod bundle strain during LOCA transients including prediction of the reflooding phase. The DRACCAR code is dedicated to study complex configurations such as the deformation and possible contact between neighboring rods and the associated blockage of thermalhydraulic channels in the ballooned zone of the fuel assembly. To accompany the development of DRACCAR, efforts have been devoted to the validation of the coupling between the thermo-mechanics and thermalhydraulic models – including reflooding – through a comparison to integral experiments dedicated to LOCA. The DRACCAR capabilities and validation status are depicted for the version DRACCAR V2.3.1. DRACCAR provides an interesting insight on LOCA by simulating multi-rod and fluid interaction which cannot be investigated with a classical single rod approach. As a conclusion, some prospects regarding the development and validation of the future version DRACCAR V3 are mentioned. In particular significant evolutions are expected regarding the cladding rupture prediction, the contact simulation and the assessment of the coolability of deformed geometries. These evolutions will be based on the knowledge acquired through the RandD project PERFROI, a project dedicated to LOCA, launched by IRSN in association to other partners and supported by the French National Research Agency (ANR). © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: International audience; This paper describes simulations of two ignition tests performed at full power in the frame of the Sandia Fuel Project (SFP) with the thermo-mechanical code DRACCAR v2.3. The OECD/NEA Sandia Fuel Project was built on an agreement between 12 countries from OECD, the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the US-NRC for the characterization of thermal-hydraulic and zirconium fire phenomena in pressurized-water reactor (PWR). The experimental program was split in two phases to focus at first on axial heating and burn propagation in one prototypic fuel assembly (Phase I), and then on axial and radial heating and burn propagation in 1 × 4 fuel assemblies (Phase II). DRACCAR is a simulation tool, developed at IRSN, for fuel assembly mechanical behavior and coolability assessment during a LOCA transient. The flexibility of DRACCAR allows the modeling of many kinds of geometries. Because the code is based on a 3D non-structured meshing, it can be used to model any non-axisymmetric geometry, like the 1 × 4 fuel assemblies geometry of the Phase II of the SFP program. In order to check the consistency of the modeling, we have optimized the code options to get best results for the Phase I, and applied the same options to the Phase II. Most of the DRACCAR results have been successfully checked against experimental ones, using additional code improvements. Air oxidation and breakaway modeling of the zircaloy claddings were successfully tested against the experimental results. Nevertheless parts of the experimental results of Phase II have been difficult to reproduce. As many causes could be involved in these difficulties, such as detailed evolution of the air convective loop, radiative heat transfers in the bundles, and the modeling of additional reactions of zirconium with nitrogen in places where oxygen is lacking, there is still room for improvement in the work of interpretation and modeling of the SFP tests. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: The data taken with the ANTARES neutrino telescope from 2007 to 2010, a total live time of 863 days, are used to measure the oscillation parameters of atmospheric neutrinos. Muon tracks are reconstructed with energies as low as 20 GeV. Neutrino oscillations will cause a suppression of vertical upgoing muon neutrinos of such energies crossing the Earth. The parameters determining the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos are extracted by fitting the event rate as a function of the ratio of the estimated neutrino energy and reconstructed flight path through the Earth. Measurement contours of the oscillation parameters in a two-flavour approximation are derived. Assuming maximal mixing, a mass difference of Delta m(32)(2) = (3.1 +/- 0.9) . 10(-3) eV(2) is obtained, in good agreement with the world average value. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: International audience; To meet the simulation needs of its LOCA RandD program, the IRSN is developing a multi-rod computational tool named DRACCAR. In order to realistically describe the behavior of the reactor core during a Loss Of Coolant Accident (LOCA), modeling has to take into account many coupled phenomena such as thermics (heat generation, radiation, convection and conduction), hydraulics (multi dimensional 1-3 phase flow, shrinkage), mechanics (thermal dilatation, creep, embrittlement) and chemistry (oxidation, oxygen diffusion, hydriding,.). This paper presents several aspects of the DRACCAR code abilities first to handle thermal-hydraulics during reflooding of an intact and of a partially ballooned bundle and secondly the simulation of the OECD SFP phase II experiment dealing with the instantaneous draining of a spent fuel pool. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: ANTARES is a high-energy neutrino telescope installed in the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of 2475 m. It consists of a three-dimensional array of optical modules, each containing a large photomultiplier tube. A total of 2700 front-end ASICs named Analogue Ring Samplers (ARS) process the phototube signals, measure their arrival time, amplitude and shape as well as perform monitoring and calibration tasks. The ARS chip processes the analogue signals from the optical modules and converts information into digital data. All the information is transmitted to shore through further multiplexing electronics and an optical link. This paper describes the performance of the ARS chip; results from the functionality and characterization tests in the laboratory are summarized and the long-term performance in the apparatus is illustrated., Comment: 20 pages, 22 figures, published in Nuclear Instruments and Methods A

Abstract: Background The design of clinical trials for osteoarthritis is challenging; structural changes in tissues are quantitatively small and proceed very slowly. No clear guidance exists on how to optimise recruitment. KL grade is a poor recruitment criterion as centres interpret KL differently. Quantitative measures should be better, and metric radiographic joint space width (rJSW) is related to subsequent risk of radiographic progression. Although new MRI measures provide increased responsiveness in DMOAD trials, it is unknown whether selecting for recruitment based on radiographic criteria are well suited for responsiveness of these new measures. Objectives (1) To determine which baseline rJSW values are associated with most subsequent progression for rJSW, MRI cartilage and bone outcomes (2) Explore baseline covariates that influence progression rates (3) Estimate the trial numbers needed using the criteria determined by steps (1) and (2). Methods We used all knees from the Osteoarthritis Initiative which had all 3 measures recorded (rJSW – Duryea method; MRI cartilage thickness & bone area, Imorphics) at baseline, 1 and 2 years. We categorised knees into bins of 1mm rJSW, and assessed the 2 year changes of each bin, and characterised the distribution of rJSW in KL 0 knees. We used ANCOVA models to consider which covariates (including gender, height, weight, alignment, age, pain severity) affected 2-year slope of change, and responsiveness using SRM. For the final optimised recruitment groups, we calculated SRMs (CIs assessed using the bootstrap method of Efron) and derived the number of patients per arm in a putative trial. Results 4796 knees were included (2789 females, mean age 61.45). The lower 95th percentile values for rJSW in women and men were 3.9 and 4.5mm respectively. The mean changes at 2-years for all 3 outcomes were greatest for the categories of 2–3 and 3–4mm baseline rJSW (Figure 1A) with notably little change in knees with rJSW Conclusions Selecting patients based on 2 simple criteria will improve responsiveness in clinical trials for all 3 imaging outcomes using standard imaging outcomes. Selecting for rJSW of 2–4mm is most important while adding a pain criteria further improves responsiveness; no other covariates improved this. Caution should be applied when using SRM to power a study because of the inherent difficulties in calculating standard deviations; Fig 1B shows for example that the confidence limits for rJSW at 12 months vary from 302 to 1489. This analysis also confirms the advantages of MRI outcomes over rJSW in terms of study size and duration: a 12-month study with cartilage thickness or bone area endpoints needs no more than 238 or 137 patients (including the upper 95th percentile confidence limit).

Abstract: Background Quantitative analysis of tissue microvascular function using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) shows promise for improved understanding of synovial pathophysiology in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Assessing tenosynovitis and bone marrow edema (BME) using physiologically-interpretable measures such as Ktrans may offer additional insights; this will require increased precision in quantification. Objectives To apply a 3D DCE-MRI method to quantify capillary permeability (Ktrans) in tendons, bone marrow edema, and to explore muscle involvement. To generate precise and consistent 3D regions of interest (ROI) of tenosynovitis and BME using active appearance models (AAMs)? and evaluate response to therapy within these regions. Methods MR images of the hand were acquired in 27 patients with established RA who had recently commenced the same biological therapy. Subjects were imaged at 0,3,6 months. The MRI protocol included pre- and post-contrast high-resolution 3D FLASH acquisitions. The DCE-MRI scan protocol included T1 mapping sequences followed by 15 sequential volumes acquired over 5 minutes, during which a bolus of gadolinium (0.1 mmol/kg) was administered at 2 ml/s at the beginning of the 5th volume measurement. The Extended Kety model was applied to each voxel concentration-time series within ROIs, allowing voxelwise estimates ofKtrans. Pre-contrast T1-weighted mages were searched using 3D active appearance models (AAMs) to reliably identify tendons and their sheath in the carpal tunnel region as well as bones and marrow area. Images from the dynamic series were registered to the high-resolution pre-contrast images, providing standardised 3D ROIs for each of the regions. Median Ktrans was summarised in each patient for each ROI. T-test (p Results Differences in baseline Ktrans were observed in each tissue type and demonstrated that highest levels of inflammation within the synovium, followed by tenosynovitis, BME and detection of low grade inflammation in the muscle (Fig. 1). Significant post-therapy responses in Ktrans, indicating a reduction in perfusion and capillary permeability associated with reduced inflammation, were seen in each of these tissue types (Fig.1). RAMRIS scoring showed no significant change at either 3 or 6 months. 3D visualisation of Ktrans in tenosynovitis revealed additional spatial response to the biological treatment (Fig. 2) – most of the remaining tenosynovitis at 6 months had lower permeability with almost all of the higher permeability class of synovitis disappearing after therapy. Conclusions 3D DCE-MRI measures of tenosynovitis and bone marrow edema are practical in RA MR imaging trials, and offer sensitivity to change and differential tissue response not visible with other methods. Therapy-induced response in muscle suggests that there may be an inflammatory process in RA affecting local muscle groups. Disclosure of Interest None declared

Abstract: Background Tofacitinib is an oral JAK inhibitor for the treatment of RA. A novel automated quantification method for RA MRI-detected pathology using statistical shape modelling technology (RAMRIQ) provides a tool that may be even more responsive than the sensitive RAMRIS semi-quantitative standard. 1 Objectives To determine if early changes in RAMRIQ were predictive of subsequent MRI and radiographic damage progression in a study of tofacitinib for the treatment of early RA in methotrexate-naive patients with minimal radiographic progression. Methods We used data from an exploratory, Phase 2 randomised controlled trial comparing tofacitinib, methotrexate and the combination (n=109) in methotrexate-naive patients with early active RA. 1 All patients met ACR classification criteria for active RA. MRI was performed at baseline and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. A single centralised reader read all MRI data; data for each patient were randomised by time point and read in the same sitting. We examined changes in synovitis, osteitis and erosions for RAMRIQ and RAMRIS at 1 and 3 months and performed univariate analyses on their relationship to RAMRIS, RAMRIQ and radiographic progression (modified Total Sharp Score [mTSS]) at 12 months. Results Reduction in RAMRIQ synovitis and osteitis at 1 and 3 months were significantly associated with reduction in RAMRIS erosion progression at 12 months (Table). Improvement in RAMRIQ synovitis and osteitis at 1 and 3 months were also associated with reduction in radiographic progression at 12 months, while RAMRIQ erosions at 1 and 3 months were not significantly associated with radiographic progression (Table). Early changes in RAMRIS erosion at 1 and 3 months were associated with radiographic progression at 12 months (Table). Treatment with tofacitinib alone or in combination with methotrexate was also associated with reduced progression in RAMRIS erosions (p=0.017 and p=0.007, respectively). Conclusions In this study, sensitive automated detection demonstrated that change in synovitis and osteitis predict subsequent RAMRIS erosion and radiographic progression. Treatment with tofacitinib as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate was also highly predictive of no progression of erosive damage. Because of its enhanced sensitivity, novel quantitative imaging analysis has the potential to change RA clinical trial design where assessing structural damage is an objective.

Abstract: [EN] Results are presented on a search for neutrino emission from a sample of six microquasars, based on the data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope between 2007 and 2010. By means of appropriate time cuts, the neutrino search has been restricted to the periods when the acceleration of relativistic jets was taking place at the microquasars under study. The time cuts have been chosen using the information from the X-ray telescopes RXTE/ASM and Swift/BAT, and, in one case, the gamma-ray telescope Fermi/LAT. No statistically significant excess has been observed, thus upper limits on the neutrino fluences have been derived and compared to the predictions by models. Constraints have been put on the ratio of proton to electron luminosity in the jets., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), Commission Européenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Région Alsace (contract CPER), Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Département du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Prometeo of Generalitat Valenciana and MultiDark, Spain; Agence de l’Oriental and CNRST, Morocco.

Abstract: A search for neutrino-induced muons in correlation with a selection of 40 gamma-ray bursts that occurred in 2007 has been performed with the ANTARES neutrino telescope. During that period, the detector consisted of 5 detection lines. The ANTARES neutrino telescope is sensitive to TeV-PeV neutrinos that are predicted from gamma-ray bursts. No events were found in correlation with the prompt photon emission of the gamma-ray bursts and upper limits have been placed on the flux and fluence of neutrinos for different models., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat à l’ énergie atomique et aux énergies alter-natives (CEA), Agence National de la Recherche (ANR), Commission Européenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Région Alsace (contrat CPER), Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Département du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium fúr Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS - UEFI SCDI), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Brometeo of Generalitat Valenciana and MultiDark, Spain; Agence de l’Oriental, Morocco.

Abstract: Aims. We search for muon neutrinos in coincidence with GRBs with the ANTARES neutrino detector using data from the end of 2007 to 2011. Methods. Expected neutrino fluxes were calculated for each burst individually. The most recent numerical calculations of the spectra using the NeuCosmA code were employed, which include Monte Carlo simulations of the full underlying photohadronic interaction processes. The discovery probability for a selection of 296 GRBs in the given period was optimised using an extended maximum-likelihood strategy. Results. No significant excess over background is found in the data, and 90% confidence level upper limits are placed on the total expected flux according to the model., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS),Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), Agence National de la Recherche (ANR), Commission Européenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Région Alsace (contrat CPER), Région Provence-Alpes- Côte d’Azur, Département du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Prometeo of Generalitat Valenciana and MultiDark, Spain; Agence de l’Oriental and CNRST, Morocco.

Abstract: Background/aims: Characterising large areas of the body has always been problematic. The aim of this article is to test a method to evaluate the developed surface areas of dermatological lesions from a 3D textured model of the body's envelope. Method: We applied the active contour method to isolate the lesions. Then, by means of the 3D model obtained, we calculated the area. This was tested on standards of known areas. Results: For the standards, the standard deviation between the calculated and theoretical surfaces was under 3%. Conclusion: The results obtained indicate the feasibility of the method for studying the efficiency of dermatological treatment.

Abstract: A search for a diffuse flux of astrophysical muon neutrinos, using data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented. A (0.83 × 2π) sr sky was monitored for a total of 334 days of equivalent live time. The searched signal corresponds to an excess of events, produced by astrophysical sources, over the expected atmospheric neutrino background. The observed number of events is found compatible with the background expectation. Assuming an E−2 flux spectrum, a 90% c.l. upper limit on the diffuse νμ flux of E2Φ90% = 5.3 × 10−8 GeVcm−2 s−1 sr−1 in the energy range 20 TeV–2.5 PeV is obtained. Other signal models with different energy spectra are also tested and some rejected.

Abstract: The ANTARES deep-sea neutrino telescope comprises a three-dimensional array of photomultipliers to detect the Cherenkov light induced by upgoing relativistic charged particles originating from neutrino interactions in the vicinity of the detector. The large scattering length of light in the deep sea facilitates an angular resolution of a few tenths of a degree for neutrino energies exceeding 10 TeV. In order to achieve this optimal performance, the time calibration procedures should ensure a relative time calibration between the photomultipliers at the level of ~1 ns. The methods developed to attain this level of precision are described., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternatives (CEA), Agence National de la Recherche (ANR), Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Region Alsace (contract CPER), Region Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, Departe-ment du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (MICINN), Prometeo of Generalitat Valenciana (GVA) and MultiDark, Spain.

Abstract: A new method for the measurement of the muon flux in the deep-sea ANTARES neutrino telescope and its dependence on the depth is presented. The method is based on the observation of coincidence signals in adjacent storeys of the detector. This yields an energy threshold of about 4 GeV. The main sources of optical background are the decay of 40K and the bioluminescence in the sea water. The 40K background is used to calibrate the efficiency of the photo-multiplier tubes., 10 pages, 4 figures

Abstract: In this paper we report on the data recorded with the first Antares detector line. The line was deployed on the 14th of February 2006 and was connected to the readout two weeks later. Environmental data for one and a half years of running are shown. Measurements of atmospheric muons from data taken from selected runs during the first six months of operation are presented. Performance figures in terms of time residuals and angular resolution are given. Finally the angular distribution of atmospheric muons is presented and from this the depth profile of the muon intensity is derived., Comment: 14 pages, 9 figures

Abstract: In order to understand the relationship between the morphology and the functionality of articular surfaces, a unified representation has to be used. To this end the theory of ruled surfaces is considered. Both aspect of the problem are represented using such surfaces. Applied to a 3D navigation system it will allow surgeons to use new surgery procedures. Another objective is to establish an atlas of the morphofunctional signature of joint pathologies.

Abstract: Computational predictions concerning ballooning of multiple fuel pins during a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) with a final reflood phase are now more than ever of interest amongst the design basis accidents in pressurized water reactors (PWR). Difficulties for such studies are twofold. Firstly, modeling has to take into account many coupled phenomena as thermics (heat generation, radiation, convection and conduction), hydraulics (multi-dimensional one-to-three phase flow and shrinkage) and mechanics (thermal expansion, creep and embrittlement) but also chemistry (oxidation, hydriding, etc.). Secondly, there exists only a few experimental investigations to validate the complex coupled modeling enabling such predictions. This paper deals with the new computational 3D tool named DRACCAR which models the deformations of rods within a bundle (from one rod to a full fuel assembly) during LOCA transients including the water reflood phase. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: The parity-violating (PV) asymmetry of inclusive π- production in electron scattering from a liquid deuterium target was measured at backward angles. The measurement was conducted as a part of the G0 experiment, at a beam energy of 360 MeV. The physics process dominating pion production for these kinematics is quasifree photoproduction off the neutron via the Δ^0 resonance. In the context of heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory, this asymmetry is related to a low-energy constant d_Δ^- that characterizes the parity-violating γNΔ coupling. Zhu et al. calculated d_Δ^- in a model benchmarked by the large asymmetries seen in hyperon weak radiative decays, and predicted potentially large asymmetries for this process, ranging from A_γ^-=-5.2 to +5.2 ppm. The measurement performed in this work leads to A_γ^-=-0.36±1.06±0.37±0.03 ppm (where sources of statistical, systematic and theoretical uncertainties are included), which would disfavor enchancements considered by Zhu et al. proportional to V_(ud)/V_(us). The measurement is part of a program of inelastic scattering measurements that were conducted by the G0 experiment, seeking to determine the N-Δ axial transition form factors using PV electron scattering.

Abstract: The ANTARES telescope has the capability to detect neutrinos produced in astrophysical transient sources. Potential sources include gamma-ray bursts, core collapse supernovae, and flaring active galactic nuclei. To enhance the sensitivity of ANTARES to such sources, a new detection method based on coincident observations of neutrinos and optical signals has been developed. A fast online muon track reconstruction is used to trigger a network of small automatic optical telescopes. Such alerts are generated for special events, such as two or more neutrinos, coincident in time and direction, or single neutrinos of very high energy., Comment: 17 pages, 9 figures submitted to Astroparticle Physics

Abstract: The primary aim of ANTARES is neutrino astronomy with upward going muons created in charged current muon neutrino interactions in the detector and its surroundings. Downward going muons are background for neutrino searches. These muons are the decay products of cosmic-ray collisions in the Earths atmosphere far above the detector. This paper presents a method to identify and count electromagnetic showers induced along atmospheric muon tracks with the ANTARES detector. The method is applied to both cosmic muon data and simulations and its applicability to the reconstruction of muon event energies is demonstrated. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: We have measured the beam-normal single-spin asymmetries in elastic scattering of transversely polarized electrons from the proton, and performed the first measurement in quasi-elastic scattering on the deuteron, at backward angles (lab scattering angle of 108 degrees) for Q2 = 0.22 GeV^2/c^2 and 0.63 GeV^2/c^2 at beam energies of 362 MeV and 687 MeV, respectively. The asymmetry arises due to the imaginary part of the interference of the two-photon exchange amplitude with that of single photon exchange. Results for the proton are consistent with a model calculation which includes inelastic intermediate hadronic (piN) states. An estimate of the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry for the scattering from the neutron is made using a quasi-static deuterium approximation, and is also in agreement with theory.

Abstract: In the G0 experiment, performed at Jefferson Lab, the parity-violating elastic scattering of electrons from protons and quasi-elastic scattering from deuterons is measured in order to determine the neutral weak currents of the nucleon. Asymmetries as small as 1 part per million in the scattering of a polarized electron beam are determined using a dedicated apparatus. It consists of specialized beam-monitoring and control systems, a cryogenic hydrogen (or deuterium) target, and a superconducting, toroidal magnetic spectrometer equipped with plastic scintillation and aerogel Cerenkov detectors, as well as fast readout electronics for the measurement of individual events. The overall design and performance of this experimental system is discussed., Comment: Submitted to Nuclear Instruments and Methods

Abstract: The French Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN) is performing a level 2 Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA-2) on the French 1300 MWe PWRs. This PSA-2 study is relying on the ASTEC integral computer code, jointly developed by IRSN and GRS (Germany). In order to assess the reliability and the quality of physical results of the ASTEC V1.3 code as well as the PWR 1300 MWe reference input deck, a wide-ranging series of comparisons with the French best-estimate thermal-hydraulic code CATHARE 2 V2.5 has been performed on 14 different severe-accident scenarios. The present paper details 4 out of the 14 studied scenarios: a 12-in. cold leg Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), a 2-tube Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR), a 12-in. Steam Line Break (SLB) and a total Loss of Feed Water scenario (LFW). The thermal-hydraulic behavior of the primary and secondary circuits is thoroughly investigated and compared to the CATAHRE 2 V2.5 results. The ASTEC results of the core degradation phase are also presented. Overall, the thermal-hydraulic behavior given by the ASTEC V1.3 is in very good agreement with the CATHARE 2 V2.5 results. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: International audience; The French Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN) and the German Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit mbH (GRS) have been jointly developing for several years a system of calculation codes (or "integral" code), ASTEC (Accident Source Term Evaluation Code), to simulate the complete scenario of a hypothetical severe accident in a nuclear light water reactor from the initiating event through the possible radiological release of fission products out of the containment, the so-called "source term." Very intensive validation work has been performed in recent years by IRSN and GRS on the V1 versions by comparison of code calculations with results of more than 160 international experiments. Complementary validation was performed by 30 partners of the SARNET European Network of Excellence in the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission, where ASTEC is considered the European reference code. The global status of validation is good for most phenomena, as shown by several examples that are described in this paper, and even very good on fission product behavior. The main need for modeling improvement concerns reflooding of a degraded core, due to the lack in ASTEC V1 of any dedicated model, and intensive efforts will focus on this topic in the next years. Molten core concrete interaction models are at the state of the art, but new experiments under way in the international frame and a better understanding of physical mechanisms are necessary to make further progress. Version V2.0 of the new ASTEC series, released mid-2009, takes benefit of the previous very intensive validation of the ICARE2 IRSN mechanistic code since its core degradation models have now been implemented. Validation will continue in the SARNET network from 2009 to 2013.

Abstract: We have measured parity violating asymmetries in elastic electron-proton and quasi-elastic electrondeuteron scattering at backward electron angle. These measurements have been done at two momentum transfers : Q2 = 0.22 and 0.63 (GeV/c)2 . Together with our previous forward angle measurement [1], we can extract strange quark contributions to the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon, as well as nucleon axial form factor coming from the neutral weak interaction. The results indicate a strange quark magnetic contribution close to zero at these Q2 , and a possible non zero strange quark electric contribution for the high Q2 . The ﬁrst Q2 behavior measurement of the nucleon axial form factor in elastic electron scattering shows a good agreement with radiative corrections calculated at Q2 = 0 and with a dipole form using the axial mass determined in neutrino scattering.

Abstract: Within the SARNET network of excellence in the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission, the severe accident integral code ASTEC, jointly developed by IRSN (France) and GRS (Germany), has been validated against international experiments to evaluate the suitability and capability of new or improved models implemented in successive code versions up to V1.3rev2, delivered in December 2007. This paper focuses on the code applications concerning circuit thermal-hydraulics and core degradation to integral and separate-effect experiments: for the CESAR thermal-hydraulic module, BETHSY 9.1 b, PACTEL ISP 33 and T2.1, PMK2-SBLOCA, LOFT-LP-FP-2; for the DIVA core degradation module, CORA-13 and -W2, QUENCH-11 and -13, LOFT-LP-FP-2, Phébus FPT-4, FARO L14 and L28, LIVE-L1, OLHF-1, FOREVER EC2. Besides, the TMI-2 accident has been analyzed using the CESAR and DIVA modules in a coupling mode. The emphasis was put on the following new or improved models: i.e. in CESAR, reflooding of an intact core, condensation in the pressurizer, sub-critical break flow correlation, and new pressurizer spray model; in DIVA, corium behaviour in the lower head and lower head mechanical failure. For thermal-hydraulics in the circuits, good results have been obtained with ASTEC on the three integral experiments that cover various thermal-hydraulic flow regimes: LOFT-LP-FP-2 in Western PWR geometry and the two PACTEL experiments in VVER-440 geometry. These good results have been confirmed by the validation done on several BETHSY integral tests. For core degradation, the ASTEC results are good for early-phase models of core heat-up, oxidation and hydrogen production (before any quenching phase) on different CORA and QUENCH experiments and on LOFT-LP-FP-2. For the in-vessel late-phase, the results can be considered as good regarding debris bed melting (Phébus FPT-4), corium fragmentation at slump into vessel lower plenum (FARO), molten pool behaviour in lower plenum (LIVE-L1), and vessel lower head mechanics (OLHF-1 and FOREVER EC2). Furthermore, the first two phases of the TMI-2 accident before core reflooding are very well calculated by ASTEC. The main remaining modelling weaknesses concern the reflooding of a degraded core and the corresponding hydrogen production. The implementation of detailed magma 2D relocation models in the new series of ASTEC V2 versions (the first one being released mid-2009) will allow a more realistic simulation of late phase phenomena up to the failure of the lower head. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: This paper summarizes the work done in the SARNET European Network of Excellence on Severe Accidents (6th Framework Programme of the European Commission) on the capability of the ASTEC code to simulate in-vessel corium retention (IVR). This code, jointly developed by the French Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN) and the German Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit mbH (GRS) for simulation of severe accidents, is now considered as the European reference simulation tool. First, the DIVA module of ASTEC code is briefly introduced. This module treats the core degradation and corium thermal behaviour, when relocated in the reactor lower head. Former ASTEC V1.2 version assumed a predefined stratified molten pool configuration with a metallic layer on the top of the volumetrically heated oxide pool. In order to reflect the results of the MASCA project, improved models that enable modelling of more general corium pool configurations were implemented by the CEA (France) into the DIVA module of the ASTEC V1.3 code. In parallel, the CEA was working on ASTEC modelling of the external reactor vessel cooling (ERVC). The capability of the ASTEC CESAR circuit thermal-hydraulics to simulate the ERVC was tested. The conclusions were that the CESAR module is capable of simulating this system although some numerical and physical instabilities can occur. Developments were then made on the coupling between both DIVA and CESAR modules in close collaboration with IRSN. In specific conditions, code oscillations remain and an analysis was made to reduce the numerical part of these oscillations. A comparison of CESAR results of the SULTAN experiments (CEA) showed an agreement on the pressure differences. The ASTEC V1.2 code version was applied to IVR simulation for VVER-440/V213 reactors assuming defined corium mass, composition and decay heat. The external cooling of reactor wall was simulated by applying imposed coolant temperature and heat transfer coefficient (HTC). The obtained results (pool temperatures, heat flux distribution, reactor wall ablation) were compared with available predictions of other codes. The agreement was correct, in particular on the shape and depth of ablation, as well as the maximum heat flux in case of a thick metallic layer, while ASTEC calculated a lower maximum heat flux for a thin metallic layer. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: The close inter-relationship between shape and functionality of osteo-articular complexes is fundamental for understanding, modeling, and imaging. It is thus desirable to put forward theoretical and methodological principles that take benefit of this relationship. In this paper, we propose a new representation of spherical motions that is applied to ball-and-socket joint such as hip and shoulder. We have been developing Spherical Medial Representation (SM-Rep) based on skeletonization over the sphere. While M-Rep provides a paradigm for 3D surface and image analysis, the resulting surface remains in a 3D vector space. Since the geometry of the unit sphere is quite different, especially geodesics, SM-Rep supplies consistent elements to overcome this issue. Example of application of this framework to hip is given.

Abstract: Background Use of contrast agent (gadolinium, Gd) in MRI trials of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) increases risk of side effects, cost, and discourages recruitment. A reliable method to accurately quantify synovitis without Gd is highly desirable Objectives The objectives of the study were to compare quantification and change in different synovitis measures using Gd enhancement and voxel classification in fat-saturated T2 images without Gd, using active appearance models (AAMs) for quantitative 3D assessment. Methods MR images of the hand were acquired from 45 established, active (mean (SD) DAS28 5.4 (1.1)), seropositive RA patients who received a cycle of rituximab therapy in an open label study. Participants were imaged at 0,3,6,9 and 12 months; 34 had all 0/3/6 images. Pre- and post-Gd VIBE images and pre-Gd T2 TSE images with fat saturation were acquired. VIBE images were searched using AAMs to identify bones and capsular structures and generate 3D ROIs. Volume which enhanced with Gd (Gd synovitis) was calculated using the pre- and post-contrast VIBE images. T2 images were registered with the VIBE images and T2 synovitis volume was identified using a voxel classifier trained using T2 voxels registered to voxels which enhance with Gd. RAMRIS scoring was performed by a single experienced reader blinded to time point. Agreement between the methods was judged using Bland-Altman plots. The amount of change found by the 2 methods was judged using a paired t-test for the subset with all images, and a mixed model method for the complete dataset. All quantitative values were adjusted for differences in scale using total bone area at baseline. Voxels identified by the methods were visually compared. Results DAS28 improved by mean (SD) 1.7 (1.4) over 12 months. T2 synovitis volumes were systematically higher than Gd synovitis by 1547 mm3; (33%): most of this difference was in the wrist (+39%), with the MCP joints 19% higher. Bland-Altman plot showed that agreement between the measures was unaffected by the size of the measurement (not shown). Both methods showed very similar change in volume over time over 6 months in a subset of 34 participants ([Figure 1][1]). Reduction in T2 synovitis was significant at 3 months, with both methods significant at 6 months. Using a mixed model for all participants over 12 months, the mean monthly change (95% CI) for T2 synovitis was -2.3% (-3.4,1.2), p

Abstract: Background Quantitative analysis of tissue microvascular function using dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) shows promise for improved understanding of synovial pathophysiology in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Most studies to date used 2D measures, and do not use physiologically-interpretable measures such as k trans . Objectives Develop a 3D method for DCE-MRI., using validated quantitative parameters. Provide precise and consistent regions of interest (ROI) that are unaffected by hand position in the coil using active appearance models (AAMs) Methods MR images of the hand were acquired pre- and post-contrast (Gd) in 27 patients with established RA who had recently commenced the same biological therapy. Subjects were imaged at 0,3,6 months. MRI protocol included pre- and post-Gd high-resolution 3D FLASH acquisitions. DCE-MRI scan protocol included 3 FLASH images for baseline T 1 measurement. 15 sequential volumes were acquired over 5 minutes (flip angle =35°), during which a bolus of gadolinium (0.1 mmol/kg) was administered at 2 ml/s at the beginning of the 5th volume measurement. Concentration of contrast agent was determined via T 1 measurement. The Extended Kety model was applied to each voxel concentration-time series within ROIs, allowing voxelwise estimates of the capillary transfer coefficient of contrast agent ( k trans ). Pre-contrast T 1 images were searched using 3D AAMs to identify bones and capsular structures and generate 3D ROIs. Images from the dynamic series were registered to the high resolution pre-contrast images, providing standardised 3D ROIs for each of the RAMRIS joints. 3D visualisation was performed by dividing voxels into 3 k trans bins: (High >0.2 min -1 , Medium 0.1-0.2 min -1 , Low -1 ), displayed over AAM-identified bone surfaces. RAMRIS scoring was performed by a single experienced reader blinded to time point. Results Change in k trans from baseline (95% CI) at 3 months was -0.007 min -1 (0.001,-0.015), p=0.06, at 6 months -0.012 (-0.004,-0.020), p=0.005 (Fig 1). This indicates a reduction in joint perfusion and capillary permeability associated with reduced inflammation. RAMRIS scoring showed no significant change at either 3 or 6 months. 3D visualisation of individual participants revealed extra details of the response to the biological treatment. For example, the total amount of synovial tissue with a k trans value >0 decreased by 40% in 6 months in one participant (Figure 2); DCE-MRI revealed that most of the remaining “synovitis” at 6 months was of Low permeability class with almost all of the High permeability class of synovitis disappearing after drug treatment. Conclusions Novel 3D DCE-MRI measures are practical in RA MR imaging trials, and offer sensitivity to differential tissue response not visible with other methods. Full hand coverage maximises the potential to monitor disease, and allows the pharmacokinetic modelling of drugs used in RA. Disclosure of Interest C. Roberts Employee of: Bioxydyn, G.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to assess the accuracy of the localization of the knee center, computed intraoperatively during a surgery procedure, by a kinematic approach. We propose a method based on the estimation of the mean helical axis during flexion-extension motion using a 3D navigation approach. This validation study was successively performed on sawbone, and clinical data collected intraoperatively during computer assisted surgeries of the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament).

48. [Reoperation by thoracic approach after surgery for gastroesophageal reflux]

Author: P, Rat, P G, Marcon, G, Guillard, O, Haas, and J P, Favre
Subjects: Adult, Male, Reoperation, Hernia, Hiatal, Recurrence, Gastroesophageal Reflux, Humans, Thoracic Surgery, Female, Treatment Failure, Middle Aged, Aged, Follow-Up Studies
Abstract: Eleven patients underwent left transthoracic reoperation for recurrence of hiatus hernia after previous surgical treatment. A left thoracic approach was chosen because of three cases of major obesity, three patients with multiple previous laparotomies, three recurrences of para-esophageal hernia, three associated dyskinetic disorders of lower esophagus. Ten patients underwent a Belsey Mark IV procedure with three myotomies of lower esophagus and one pyloroplasty. One patient underwent a Collis-Belsey procedure. Operative mortality was zero. Every patient had been followed up with a mean of 31 months. Ten patients have a good result. One patient had a massive recurrence of gastroesophageal reflux after Belsey Mark IV which led to a duodenal diversion 18 months later. Although the abdominal approach allows easier dissection of lower esophagus and complementary procedures to the lower esophagus. Results are as good as those of the abdominal approach.

49. Results of bilio-digestive derivative surgical procedures for benign lesions

Subjects: Male, Postoperative Complications, Pancreatitis, Risk Factors, Choledochostomy, Chronic Disease, Jejunostomy, Humans, Female, Hepatic Duct, Common, Gallstones, Aged, Retrospective Studies
Abstract: Short and long term results of 52 derivative-surgical procedures (43 choledocho-duodenal and 9 hepatico-jejunal with 45 latero-lateral and 7 termino-lateral approaches) were examined. The procedures were performed on patients with benign bilio-digestive conditions: 46 cases of lithiasis, 2 of which were sump syndromes after latero-lateral derivations, and 6 cases of chronic pancreatitis. Several patients were in poor pre-operative condition, which may have influenced postoperative mortality rates (6%). Morbidity was 15 per cent. Four patients (8%) without anastomotic stenosis had infections of the hepatobiliary system within four years of choledochoduodenostomy. In some cases of benign bilio-digestive lesions, derivative surgery is the procedure of choice, being preferable to endoscopic sphincterotomy. In derivative surgery, a termino-lateral approach has better results than a latero-lateral approach. Furthermore, due to the risk of stasis following a choledochoduodenostomy, a hepaticojejunostomy may be preferable.
