Published 2004Staff ViewISSN: 1468-2494Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: Repeated exposure to UV radiation can induce cutaneous damage leading to permanent structural degeneration of the dermal extracellular matrix and formation of visible wrinkles. It is not so easy to efface severely UV-damaged skin, because the degenerated abnormal structure of that skin is usually fixed by tight cross-linkings. So, we think that one of the important approaches to the anti-wrinkle skin care is the treatment of photodamaged skin in the early stage. However, it is difficult for most cosmetic users to perceive their dermal UV damage. In the present study, we investigated the possibilities of two non-invasive measurements of skin mechanical properties as convenient biomarkers of degeneration of the extracellular matrix. The condition of the three-dimensional structures of dermal collagen fibres, which depends on the degree of UV damage, correlated with a mechanical parameter measured by the Resiliometer we developed. Accumulation of denatured elastic fibres (elastosis) induced by photoaging correlated with certain mechanical parameters measured by the Cutometer. These findings suggest that dermal structural changes associated with photoaging can be assessed non-invasively using these devices.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1600-0536Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: Data suggests that protection From gloves is paradoxically reduced became of effects of occlusion on the skin. The aim of this study was to characterize these effects on physical and functional properties of stratum corneum. Volunteer trials were conducted using patches of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) glove material on the skin. Impairment of barrier function -was assessed by measuring transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Hydration and water sorption-desorption was assessed using skin conductance. The major finding was a short-term impairment of barrier function, measured as an increase in TEWL of 1.7 gn −2 h −1 (95% C.I. 0.4 to 2.6 gn −2, h −1, p 〈 0.01) Temporary increases in hydration and water sorption were also observed. On this basis, the effects of wearing PVC gloves over 2 days on stratum corneum barrier properties on the dorsum of the hand were studied. TEWL measurements remained elevated by 1.5 gn −2 h −1 the day after occlude glove removal (95% C.I 0.2 to 2.8 gn −2 h −1, p 〈 0.01), indicating a possible cumulative effect. In conclusion, our studies demonstrate a potential hazard resulting from the repeated use of protective gloves.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1600-0714Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: The purpose of this study was to present a modified photometer based digital analysis system for image enhanced microradiographic semi-quantitation of reactions of demineralization and remineralization of root surface lesions. The system was used to determine effects of fluoride on abraded root surface dentin in vitro. Lesions of 30–40 μm depth were produced during 18 h exposure of 180 μm thick single sections in solution of 3 mM Ca (Ca/P 1.67) and 30 mM lactic acid at pH 5.1. Mean mineral content of the lesions was 32% relative to adjacent sound dentin. Exposure of 20 h in the same acid with 5 mM Ca (Ca/P 1.67) and 0.12 mM NaF at pH 6.1 restored the mean mineral content to 76% of normal and increased the resistance of the lesions to demineralization. Remineralization and subsequent demineralization characteristics indicated the growth of fluorapatites on residual minerals in the dentin lesions. The microradiographic analysis system proved to be sensitive and critical in these studies.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

The TEWL values 4 days after birth were abnormally high compared with normal infants of the same age. The TEWL measurements returned towards normal within the first month, in parallel with the improvement of both the skin signs and the electrolyte and fluid balance.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1572-9397Keywords: genetic ; algorithms ; test suites ; searchSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MathematicsNotes: Abstract Genetic algorithms have attracted a good deal of interest in the heuristic search community. Yet there are several different types of genetic algorithms with varying performance and search characteristics. In this article we look at three genetic algorithms: an elitist simple genetic algorithm, the CHC algorithm and Genitor. One problem in comparing algorithms is that most test problems in the genetic algorithm literature can be solved using simple local search methods. In this article, the three algorithms are compared using new test problems that are not readily solved using simple local search methods. We then compare a local search method to genetic algorithms for geometric matching and examine a hybrid algorithm that combines local and genetic search. The geometric matching problem matches a model (e.g., a line drawing) to a subset of lines contained in a field of line fragments. Local search is currently the best known method for solving general geometric matching problems.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-5036Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: Summary The effects of 96 combinations of nitrogen, potassium and magnesium were studied in four tomato crops grown in peat. Yield responses were found to each of these nutrients. In a late-planted crop, nitrogen also increased the early yield. The nutrient contents of the leaves corresponding to maximum yield were 4.5–5.1% N, 4.4–5.6% K and 0.31–0.40% Mg. Yields increased with applied nitrogen until the peat contained 45–65 mg N/l and decreased at concentrations above 70 mg N/l. Maximum yields were achieved in two of the crops when the peat contained 330–430 mt K/l; in the other two crops 100 mg K/l sufficed, though this was insufficient for high quality fruit. A magnesium content of 250 mg Mg/l was fully adequate. A high proportion (〉90%) of the extractable potassium in the peat was water-soluble, thus making a major contribution to the overall salinity.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1573-5036Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, NutritionNotes: Summary The effects of a fritted micronutrient mixture on the growth and yield of tomatoes were studied in relation to the pH of the peat substrate. The treatments consisted of three rates of application of the fritted micronutrient mixture (0, 200, 500 g/m3 F 253A) in factorial combination with four rates of liming (average pH values 4.5, 5.1, 5.8 and 6.7). Three crops were grown to maturity, and in each case the total yield of fruit decreased (18–24%) when the peat was limed to pH〉6.0 (P〈0.001). Omission of the micronutrient mixture reduced the yield by 20–65% (P〈0.001). The combination of heavy liming and omission of micronutrients was particularly detrimental, and depressed the yield by 40–87% as compared with the most favourable treatment. The incidence of ripening disorders was also increased by heavy liming and by omission of micronutrients. The boron, copper, iron, manganese and zinc contents of the leaves are tabulated. Multiple regression analyses suggested that the yield was consistently depressed by deficiencies of boron and copper, and responses to iron and manganese were also found.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -
