Remove hydrogen and store it too: an acid-in-clay based electro-chemical solution.

Extracting hydrogen from metallic components can open up a new pathway for preventing hydrogen embrittlement. To this end, we propose an electrochemically driven, all-solid method for hydrogen control, capable of both extracting and storing hydrogen simultaneously. In this approach, we employ acid-in-clay as a proton conducting electrolyte at room temperature.

Precipitation-based microscale enzyme reactors coupled with porous and adhesive elastomer for effective bacterial decontamination and membrane antifouling on-demand.

Bacterial contamination of water environments can cause various troubles in various areas. As one of potential solutions, we develop enzyme-immobilized elastomer, and demonstrate the uses of enzyme reactions on-demand for effective microbial decontamination and antifouling. Asymmetrically-structured elastomer is prepared by combining two polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers with different degrees of crosslinking: highly-crosslinked and lightly-crosslinked PDMS layers.

Data Association for Multi-Object Tracking via Deep Neural Networks.

With recent advances in object detection, the tracking-by-detection method has become mainstream for multi-object tracking in computer vision. The tracking-by-detection scheme necessarily has to resolve a problem of data association between existing tracks and newly received detections at each frame. In this paper, we propose a new deep neural network (DNN) architecture that can solve the data association problem with a variable number of both tracks and detections including false positives.

Chylopericardium Secondary to Lymphangiomyoma - A case report -.

Chylopericardium is a rare disease entity characterized by the accumulation of chylous fluid in the pericardial sac. It usually arises from mediastinal neoplasms, thrombosis of the subclavian vein, tuberculosis, nonsurgical trauma, thoracic or cardiac surgery. The spectrum of symptoms for chylopericardium varies from an incidental finding of cardiomegaly to dyspnea, upper abdominal discomfort, cough, chest pain, palpitation, fatigue.

Hepatic artery reconstruction and successful management of its complications in living donor liver transplantation using a right lobe.

Background: The aim of the present study was to improve the techniques of hepatic artery (HA) reconstruction and to properly manage arterial complications after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).

Methods: Prospectively collected data collected from 371 patients who underwent adult LDLT using a right lobe from January 2000 to August 2009 were retrospectively reviewed.

Results: Of 17 patients (4.

Clinical analysis of living donor liver transplantation in patients with portal vein thrombosis.

The aim of this study was to improve outcomes in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) patients with portal vein thrombosis (PVT). Of 246 adult patients who underwent LDLT with a right lobe graft between January 2000 and May 2007, PVT was diagnosed in 50 patients (20.3%), who were further subdivided into partial (n = 39, 78%) and complete (n = 11, 22%) types.
