Breaking the rigid connection between the two faces of the wall can significantly improve the sound transmission loss of the wall. This is usually achieved by resiliently mounting the gypsum board on one of the two faces of the wall using resilient channel. Resilient channel with less stiffness than that of air cavity could move the resonance frequency of the light-weight wall. So we can get higher sound transmission loss at low frequencies for light-weight wall using resilient channel. It's sound transmission loss is 17 dB higher than that of single stud wall, and 5 dB higher than that of double stud wall.

This study aims to present nonlinear time history analysis results of double leaf cavity wall (DLCW) reinforced concrete structure exposed to shake table tests. Simulation of the model was done by a Finite Element (FE) program. Shake table experiment was performed at the National Civil Engineering Laboratory in Lisbon, Portugal. The results of the experiment were compared with numeric DLCW model and numeric model of reinforced concrete structure with unreinforced masonry wall (URM). Both DLCW and URM models have two bays and two stories. Dimensions of the tested structure and finite element models are 1:1.5 scaled according to Cauchy Froude similitude law. The URM model has no experimental results but the purpose is to compare their performance level with the DLCW model. Results of the analysis were compared with experimental response and were evaluated according to ASCE/SEI 41-06 code.

A double-heterostructure mesa-stripe-geometry laser diode integrated with thermoelectric Peltier cooler has been designed and fabricated. Epi-layers have been grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) method. Peltier cooling effect has been measured for devices with a mesa width of 14$\mu$m and a cavity length of 380$\mu$m. The effects of thermoelectric cooling could be shown by measuring the optical output of the laser with the increase of the current in the thermoelectric cooler. While the input courrent of the laser was maintained at 250mA, the optical output was decreased from 4.8mW to 3.8mW due to heating, but with the thermoelectric cooler on the optical output power was recovered by more than 40%. The results show that the complicated cooling device is not needed since the cooling can be achevied by the developement of the fabrication processing.

Fibular free flap reconstruction is the flap of the choice in long-span mandibular bone reconstruction. The most common disadvantage of the fibular flap is short bone height to install dental implant. Double barrel fibular flap has been tried, however, bulky flap in the oral cavity hinder its use. Titanium reconstruction plate has been used simultaneously with the free fibular flap to stabilize occlusion and to fix the fibular flap. In this study, titanium reconstruction plate was fixed in the lower border of the mandible and the fibular free flap was fixed in the superior border of the titanium plate to improve implant-crown ratio. This new technique improved the longevity of the dental prosthodontics with dental implants.

When measuring sound transmission loss (STL) in a laboratory, the specimen location in test aperture affects considerably the measuring accuracy through the influence of so-called “tunneling effect” In this paper, for a single panel and a double panel with air cavity, experimental STL evaluations on various specimen locations on test aperture were carried out to explain the phenomenon. It is shown that the difference of STL is more than 2dB especially at the low frequency region and the case of the center-located panel yielded the lower STL than that of flushing with the end of tunnel, which confirms that the tunneling effect plays an important role in STL measurement.

We report hereon a case of double bypass of the esophagus and descending thoracic aorta for the treatment of esophagopleural fistula and aortopleural fistula due to an infected aortic aneurysm after esophageal rupture. A 48 year old man was diagnosed as having esophageal rupture after an accidental explosion. Although he had been treated by esophageal repair and drainage at another hospital, the esophageal leakage could not be controlled and subsequent empyema developed in the left pleura. Further, bleeding from the descending thoracic aorta had developed and he was managed with endovascular stent insertion to the descending thoracic aorta. He was transferred to our hospital for corrective surgery. We performed esophago - gastrostomy via the substernal route, without exploring posterior mediastinum and we let the empyema resolve spontaneously. While he was being managed postoperatively Without any signs and symptoms of infection, sudden bleeding developed from the left pleural cavity. After evaluation for the bleeding focus, we discovered an Infected aortic aneurysm and an aortospleural fistula at the stent insertion site. We performed a second bypass procedure for the infected descending thoracic aorta from the ascending aorta to the descending abdominal aorta via the right pleural cavity. We found leakage at the distalligation site during the immediate postoperative period, and we occluded the leakage using a vascular plug. He discharged without complications and he is currently doing well without any more bleeding or other complications.

A single crystla of zeolite $Na_{78}Rb_{28}-X$ (approximate composition) was prepared by exposing $Na_{92}-X$ at $350^{\circ}C$ to 0.1 Torr of rubidium vapor, and its structure was determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction methods in the cubic space group, Fd3, ${\alpha}=25.045(4){\AA}$. The structure was refined to the final error indices $R_1=0.082$ and $R_2=0.084$ with 353 for which I>$3{\sigma}(I)$. Only about 28 of the 92 $Na^+$ ions per unit cell were reduced and only about 14 of the 28 $Na^0$ atoms produced were retained within the zeolite. A $Na_5{^{4+}}$ cluster is present within each sodalite cavity. It is a centered tetrahedron (like $CH_4$) with bond $length=2.80(2){\AA}$ and angle tetrahedral by symmetry, and shows the full symmetry of its site. $T_d$, at the center of the sodalite cavity. Each of the four terminal atoms of the $Na_5{^{4+}}$ cluster bond to three framework oxygens at $2.36(2){\AA}$. At the centers of some double 6-rings are sodium atoms which bridge linearly between $Na_5{^{4+}}$ clusters to form agglomerations such as short zig-zag chains $Na_5{^{4+}}$ clusters. Delocalized electrons, located primarily on the sodiums at centers of the sodalite and (likely) double-six-ring cavities, contribute to the stability of the clusters.

We have examined the effects of certain mutations of the selectivity filter and of the membrane helix M2 on $Ba^{2+}$ blockage of the inward rectifier potassium channel, Kir 2.1. We expressed mutant and wild type murine Kir 2.1 in Chinese hamster ovary(CHO) cells and used the whole cell patch-clamp technique to record $K^+$ currents in the absence and presence of externally applied $Ba^{2+}$. Wild type Kir2.1 was blocked by externally applied $Ba^{2+}$ in a voltage and concentration dependent manner. Mutants of Y145 in the selectivity filter showed little change in the kinetics of $Ba^{2+}$ blockage. The estimated $K_d(0)$ was 108 ${\mu}M$ for Kir2.1 wild type, 124 ${\mu}M$ for a concatameric WT-Y145V dimer, 109 ${\mu}M$ for a WT-Y145L dimer, and 267 ${\mu}M$ for Y145F. Mutant channels T141A and S165L exhibit a reduced affinity together with a large reduction in the rate of blockage. In S165L, blockage proceeds with a double exponential time course, suggestive of more than one blocking site. The double mutation T141A/S165L dramatically reduced affinity for $Ba^{2+}$, also showing two components with very different time courses. Mutants D172K and D172R(lining the central, aqueous cavity of the channel) showed both a decreased affinity to $Ba^{2+}$ and a decrease in the on transition rate constant(${\kappa}_{on}$). These results imply that residues stabilising the cytoplasmic end of the selectivity filter(T141, S165) and in the central cavity(D172) are major determinants of high affinity $Ba^{2+}$ blockage in Kir 2.1.
