Abstract

Solanum sisymbriifolium Lam., is used in Paraguayan folk medicine claiming antihypertensive and diuretic properties.This study aimed to determine the influence of chronic oral administration of the crude root extract and saponins obtained from S. sisymbriifolium Lam., on the blood pressure of male and female rats with hypertension induced by L-NAME, and its consequences on diuresis, the body weight, blood glucose, and level of serum parameters of liver and kidney functionality.Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven male, and seven female groups (8 animals each), which received as 6-week pretreatment, 0.9% saline solution (two groups; 0.1mL/10 g of b.w.), L-arginine (100.0 mg/kg/day), enalapril (15.0 mg/kg/day), crude extract (CESs 100.0 mg/kg/day), and saponin purified fraction (1.0, and 10.0 mg/kg/day), and treated with L-NAME (20 mg/kg/day/i.p.) twice, 1, and 6 h after pre-treatment. The animals' body weight, glycemia, and blood pressure were recorded weekly, while serum, hepatic, renal, and histological parameters were analyzed at the end of 6-week of treatment.A protective effect of CESs (100.0 mg/kg/day), and saponins (1.0, and 10.0 mg/kg/day) against hypertension induced by L-NAME was verified in the systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure values, which were significantly lower than the positive L-NAME-hypertensive control group (male and female) at the end of the 6-week treatment. Also, pretreatment with enalapril (15.0 mg/kg/day) induced an efficient protective activity, which validates the method used. Likewise, the volume of urine, creatinine, uric acid, urea, and electrolyte excretion was enhanced at the end of 6-week of treatment in concordance with the reduction in serum level of the same parameters, compatible with the improvement of the diuretic activity. The glycemia, body weight, heart rate, and functional hepato-renal parameters were not modified after a 6-week of treatment, in comparison to the control group, indicating relatively acceptable harmless properties of CESs and saponins. Interestingly, the HDL level in females was increased in contrast to male rats by chronic saponins treatment when compared with the negative control group.It can be concluded that either the increment in blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, and median) or cardiorenal remodeling effects in male and female rats submitted to L-NAME-induced hypertensive condition, were prevented and well-preserved without a significant variation during a period of 6-week of pretreatment with CESs and saponins pretreatments. Likewise, an important diuretic effect was revealed after this period of treatment.

Abstract

Analysis of premature chromosome condensation (PCC) mediated by fusion of G0-lymphocytes with mitotic CHO cells in combination with rapid visualization and quantification of rings (PCC-Rf) is proposed as an alternative technique for dose assessment of radiation-exposed individuals. Isolated lymphocytes or whole blood from six individuals were γ-irradiated with 5, 10, 15 and 20Gy at a dose rate of 0.5Gy/min. Following either 8- or 24-h post-exposure incubation of irradiated samples at 37°C, chromosome spreads were prepared by standard PCC cytogenetic procedures. The protocol for PCC fusion proved to be effective at doses as high as 20Gy, enabling the analysis of ring chromosomes and excess PCC fragments. The ring frequencies remained constant during the 8-24-h repair time; the pooled dose relationship between ring frequency (Y) and dose (D) was linear: Y=(0.088±0.005)×D. During the repair time, excess fragments decreased from 0.91 to 0.59 chromatid pieces per Gy, revealing the importance of information about the exact time of exposure for dose assessment on the basis of fragments. Compared with other cytogenetic assays to estimate radiation dose, the PCC-Rf method has the following benefits: a 48-h culture time is not required, allowing a much faster assessment of dose in comparison with conventional scoring of dicentrics and rings in assays for chemically-induced premature chromosome condensation (PCC-Rch), and it allows the analysis of heavily irradiated lymphocytes that are delayed or never reach mitosis, thus avoiding the problem of saturation at high doses. In conclusion, the use of the PCC fusion assay in conjunction with scoring of rings in G0-lymphocytes offers a suitable alternative for fast dose estimation following accidental exposure to high radiation doses.

Abstract

We present the first measurements of charge-dependent correlations on angular difference variables η 1 − η 2 (pseudorapidity) and ϕ 1 − ϕ 2 (azimuth) for primary charged hadrons with transverse momentum 0.15 ⩽ p t ⩽ 2 GeV / c and | η | ⩽ 1.3 from Au–Au collisions at s N N = 130 GeV . We observe correlation structures not predicted by theory but consistent with evolution of hadron emission geometry with increasing centrality from one-dimensional fragmentation of color strings along the beam direction to an at least two-dimensional hadronization geometry along the beam and azimuth directions of a hadron-opaque bulk medium.

Abstract

Identified mid-rapidity particle spectra of pi(+/-), K+/-, and p((p) over bar) from 200 GeV p + p and d + Au collisions are reported. A time-of-flight detector based on multi-gap resistive plate chamber technology is used for particle identification. The particle-species dependence of the Cronin effect is observed to be significantly smaller than that at lower energies. The ratio of the nuclear modification factor (R-dAu) between protons (p + (p) over bar) and charged hadrons (h) in the transverse momentum range 1.2 < p(T) < 3.0 GeV/c is measured to be 1.19 +/- 0.05(stat) +/- 0.03(syst) in minimum-bias collisions and shows little centrality dependence. The yield ratio of (p + (p) over bar)/h in minimum-bias d + Au collisions is found to be a factor of 2 lower than that in Au + Au collisions, indicating that the Cronin effect alone is not enough to account for the relative baryon enhancement observed in heavy ion collisions at RHIC.

Abstract

Well-defined protocols and quality management standards are indispensable for biological dosimetry laboratories. Participation in periodic proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons is also required. This harmonization is essential if a cooperative network is used to respond to a mass casualty event. Here we present an international intercomparison based on dicentric chromosome analysis for dose assessment performed in the framework of the IAEA Regional Latin American RLA/9/054 Project. The exercise involved 14 laboratories, 8 from Latin America and 6 from Europe. The performance of each laboratory and the reproducibility of the exercise were evaluated using robust methods described in ISO standards. The study was based on the analysis of slides from samples irradiated with 0.75 (DI) and 2.5 Gy (DII). Laboratories were required to score the frequency of dicentrics and convert them to estimated doses, using their own doseâ€"effect curves, after the analysis of 50 or 100 cells (triage mode) and after conventional scoring of 500 cells or 100 dicentrics. In the conntional scoring, at both doses, all reported frequencies were considered as satisfactory, and two reported doses were considered as questionable. The analysis of the data dispersion among the dicentric frequencies and among doses indicated a better reproducibility for estimated doses (15.6% for DI and 8.8% for DII) than for frequencies (24.4% for DI and 11.4% for DII), expressed by the coefficient of variation. In the two triage modes, although robust analysis classified some reported frequencies or doses as unsatisfactory or questionable, all estimated doses were in agreement with the accepted error of ±±0.5 Gy. However, at the DI dose and for 50 scored cells, 5 out of the 14 reported confidence intervals that included zero dose and could be interpreted as false negatives. This improved with 100 cells, where only one confidence interval included zero dose. At the DII dose, all estimations fell within ±±0.5 Gy of the reference dose interval. The results obtained in this triage exercise indicated that it is better to report doses than frequencies. Overall, in both triage and conventional scoring modes, the laboratory performances were satisfactory for mutual cooperation purposes. These data reinforce the view that collaborative networking in the case of a mass casualty event can be successful. © 2011 by Radiation Research Society.

Abstract

Graphical analysis has become a powerful tool to design advanced high frequency circuits. By mapping complex expressions on a smith chart, complex functions can visually be designed. This paper presents a graphical method applied to active high frequency phase shifters design. By mapping bilinear expressions resulting from an active device with a serial or parallel feedback, active phase shifters can be designed. For the method proposed, first the expressions for the bilinear transformed component are obtained from original active device S parameters, then, a computer program performs the mapping process and plots constant amplitude and phase circles on a smith chart representing the feedback component. Finally by selecting the adequate circles the differential phase shifter can be designed.

Abstract

Extensive geostatistical modeling of data from the Bachaquero fields (east coast of Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela) has been conducted within the framework of a large-scale integrated study. These stochastic models have been used for several reservoir-management applications, where a fast and effective response is necessary to satisfy operational requirements. Such requirements include identification of infill drill locations, planning of horizontal well trajectories, and thermal-simulation studies for the optimization of cyclic steam injection projects. Because reservoir management applications commonly concern individual wells (small scale), a specific procedure has been established to extract and statistically analyze the geologic information from geostatistical models (large scale). The procedure has worked very effectively, with most of the operational requirements of corporate field exploitation units being addressed in the required timeframe. In fact, after almost 2 yr of fast-response applications in the Bachaquero fields, most of the operations currently performed by the exploitation unit are supported by geostatistical models. Recommendations based on such fast-response studies have been implemented, and in all cases, very good agreement between predictions and actual results has been observed.

Abstract

Differential amplifier DA is one of the most important circuits used in the design of modern electronic systems; its high frequency MMIC implementation looks very promising for the integration of active and complex functions at high frequencies. Active components as phase splitters, balanced mixers, multipliers, filters, and power splitters are among other circuits that can be implemented with MMIC DA. However high frequency DA CMRR limitation is one of the major issues that prevent DA high frequency implementation. This paper shows a DA MMIC analysis and implementation based on high frequency analytical techniques. The results obtained in this work show how a typical DA CMRR can be improved when the coupling impedance is well designed at high frequencies.

Abstract

We review the most important experimental results from the first three years of nucleus-nucleus collision studies at RHIC, with emphasis on results from the STAR experiment, and we assess their interpretation and comparison to theory. The theory-experiment comparison suggests that central Au+Au collisions at RHIC produce dense, rapidly thermalizing matter characterized by: (1) initial energy densities above the critical values predicted by lattice QCD for establishment of a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP); (2) nearly ideal fluid flow, marked by constituent interactions of very short mean free path, established most probably at a stage preceding hadron formation; and (3) opacity to jets. Many of the observations are consistent with models incorporating QGP formation in the early collision stages, and have not found ready explanation in a hadronic framework. However, the measurements themselves do not yet establish unequivocal evidence for a transition to this new form of matter. The theoretical treatment of the collision evolution, despite impressive successes, invokes a suite of distinct models, degrees of freedom and assumptions of as yet unknown quantitative consequence. We pose a set of important open questions, and suggest additional measurements, at least some of which should be addressed in order to establish a compelling basis to conclude definitively that thermalized, deconfined quark-gluon matter has been produced at RHIC., Comment: 101 pages, 37 figures; revised version to Nucl.

Abstract

A geostatistical study has been performed in the framework of the Integrated Reservoir Study of the giant Bachaquero 2 oil field, located in the Maracaibo lake, Venezuela. The objective of the study was to take advantage of the exceptional well density (over 1300 wells) in order to build a detailed and robust 3D model for geological risk evaluation during drilling, as well as further reservoir modelling studies. The geostatistical database has been built from the preliminary deterministic geological work (3D seismic interpretation, sequence stratigraphy, sedimentological and petrophysical analysis). Stochastic simulations have been run in terms of facies and petrophysical properties, using a pixel based, Truncated-Gaussian algorithm. The stochastic model has been used in a variety of applications, from optimization of horizontal well trajectories, to infill drilling location and the construction of local scale numerical simulation models.

Abstract

A large scale integrated study has been performed in the Bachaquero Intercampos Field, Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. The project concentrated on the complete revision of the static and dynamic models of the field, with the aim of identifying new reserves and define a new development plan. The dimension of the field and the huge amount of available data required an effort in terms of prioritizing the technological and human resources allocated to each discipline. The new geological model revealed the presence of a previously untargeted shadow zone below the main reverse fault of the field (subthrust trap). The development plan was focussed on the exploitation of these new reserves and is adding about 10 years of production to the field. The first phase of the development plan started in early 1998 and so far 3 wells have been drilled and completed. These wells confirmed the new geological model and are currently producing more than 15% of the total field production.

Abstract

Abstract Recent development of Bachaquero 2 Field (Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela) has been based mainly on cyclic steam injection on horizontal wells. Initial oil deliverability of the heated wells proved to be up to 5 times greater with respect to the cold wells. This paper presents the results of a multi-disciplinary project focussed on the drilling of a pair of horizontal wells for cyclic stearn injection. The project involved a reservoir characterization and a numerical simulation phase, the drilling, steam injection and production of these wells, a data acquisition project and eventually a fial detailed simulation stage. Experimental and numerical results show that the presence and the thickness of interbedded shale has a severe impact on heat distribution. Very little interference has to be expected between parallel horizontal wells when the separating shale is continuous and its average thickness is greater than about 12 feet. A preliminary stochastic description of the reservoir can be very useful in assessing the presence and expected average thickness of the interbedded shale. The experience allowed us to set the best production strategy for the 2-horizontal well system, in terms of sequence and duration of the cycles, steam rate, total injected steam, steam quality and soak time. It also helped in setting guidelines for the future development of the Bachaquero 2 Field. P. 293
