LUCAS system to open up new possibilities in space with inter-satellite optical communication
What is the Laser Utilizing Communication System: LUCAS?
The Laser Utilizing Communication System (LUCAS) is set to enable the collection and high-speed transmission of large volume data by establishing an optical link between the Earth observation satellites and the data relay satellites. We spoke with Hiroaki Miyoshi, leading the LUCAS project within NEC talking about the difference between optical communication and conventional radio wave communication, the technologies used in optical communication and the value this system can bring to our society.
-- Could you give us an overview of the JAXA-led project involving the Laser Utilizing Communication System（LUCAS）?
Miyoshi: The Internet that we use every day is provided over an optical fiber network. LUCAS attempts to use these optical communications technologies to relay between satellites, which until now has been carried out using radio waves. Optical communication has three major advantages over radio communication. The first is that optical communication is capable of transmitting a large volume of data. Radio frequencies are limited in bandwidth and the amount of data that can be transmitted is roughly proportional to the frequency. The operating frequency of the 5G communication system that is currently in widespread use is about 28 GHz, but optical communication has a frequency that is 100 to 1,000 times higher than 28 GHz. This makes it possible to transmit large volumes of data.
The second advantage is that optical communication is license-free. The use of radio waves requires a license because of the limited number of available frequency bands that must be shared by many users. In contrast, because the frequency band of optical communication is largely immune to signal interference, it is license-free and offers a virtually unlimited bandwidth.
The third advantage is that optical communication ensures a high level of confidentiality. Data is transmitted through optical communication between satellites that are separated by a distance of about 40,000 km. When radio waves are sent over this distance, the diameter of the beam spreads to about 60 km. On the other hand, the diameter of optical communication beams are narrow—about 600 meters—making interception of the beam extremely difficult.
-- LUCAS is built to leverage these advantages, is that correct?
Miyoshi: LUCAS is a system name which connects the Earth observation satellites located in low earth orbit which is around several hundred kilometers in altitude, with the optical data relay satellite located about 36,000 km above the Earth's surface both controlled from ground control. The optical data relay satellite was launched in November 2020 and is in geostationary orbit positioned over Japan. With future launches of the Earth observation satellites equipped with NEC laser communication modules, LUCAS will finally be entering the operational phase.
What does it mean to relay data in space?
-- Please explain the development of the Laser Utilizing Communication System to date.
Miyoshi: The world's first inter-satellite optical communication experiment was conducted in 2005 as a concerted effort between JAXA and NEC from Japan, the European Space Agency (ESA), and a private company from Germany. The experiment used laser light with a wavelength of 1 μm (micrometer).
Subsequently, Europe has been advancing efforts, mainly led by the public sector, to use inter-satellite optical communication in the areas of security and climate change. The wavelength used for communication is 1 μm, the same as in the experiment. While beams at this wavelength are powerful and can travel long distances, they are only used in space projects, which presents the disadvantage of making equipment development more expensive.
In contrast, in order to reuse optical communications technologies, parts and components produced in fiber communications, Japan and U.S. is developing inter-satellite optical communication using a 1.5-μm wavelength, which is widely used in terrestrial optical fiber communications. However, beams at this wavelength have less power than beams at 1μm, so it is the development of optical communication equipment is needed to increase the power.
LUCAS uses a 1.5-μm beam and NEC has been working to develop devices for successful communication at this wavelength. If successful, LUCAS will enable standardized inter-satellite optical communication and pave the way for commercialization in this field.
--What possibilities will the success of LUCAS bring about?
Miyoshi: The concept for the operation of LUCAS is to use optical communication to relay data collected by Earth observation satellites to optical data relay satellites and from there to Earth. This operation has two major advantages.
The first advantage is the dramatic increase in the amount of data that can be observed by Earth observation satellites. The amount of data obtained from a satellite is strongly restricted by downlink bandwidth from a satellite to the ground, which is influenced by the communication time with a satellite. Until now, an antenna deployed in the Arctic has mainly been used to communicate with observation satellites. This means that communication is possible only when a satellite passes over the North Pole, which is typically a duration of 5 to 10 minutes with each pass. In other words, communication with a satellite is possible only for a maximum of about 10 minutes for every 100-minute orbit. By using a relay satellite, communication time can be extended to a maximum of 40 minutes on each orbit. This makes it possible to increase the amount of data that can be collected.
The second advantage is increased observation speed. Observation satellites circle the earth about 15 times a day with each orbit taking about 100 minutes. When communicating directly with an observation satellite from the ground, the satellite is instructed to acquire data from an antenna on the ground, and the data is received on the ground after the satellite has circled the earth. This results in a time loss of 100 minutes. On the other hand, with a relay satellite, data acquisition instructions and observation data can be immediately accessed by an Earth observation satellite. Since the relay satellite is geostationary over Japan, it is always available for communication.
LUCAS greatly outperforms conventional technology in terms of data transmission speed and antenna size. Compared with JAXA's "Kodama" Data Relay Test Satellite, which transmitted data at a speed of 240 Mbps and had an antenna with a diameter of 3.6 meters, LUCAS can transmit data seven times faster at a speed of 1.8 Gbps and has an antenna with a diameter of 14 cm, which is about 1/30th the diameter of Kodama’s antenna. This means that LUCAS is capable of transmitting more data despite its smaller size.
Three challenges to achieving inter-satellite optical communication
--What is NEC's roles in the LUCAS project?
Miyoshi: While JAXA is responsible for managing the LUCAS project, NEC has contributed to the project as a leader in optical communication system design, equipment development, and component technology verification.
Although it is often thought that a system can be completed by simply combining components, because we have ventured into a completely new field with inter-satellite optical communication, we had to start development without knowing what components to use and how to combine them to create a system. The entire system had to be designed from scratch, component specifications had to be defined, and verification had to be performed after the components were assembled. This was the series of tasks for which NEC was responsible.
-- What were the most difficult aspects of the project?
Miyoshi: Three main points come to mind. The first challenge was to develop technologies for stably amplifying low-output laser light with a wavelength of 1.5 μm to a relay satellite 40,000 km away. On Earth, optical fiber submarine cables traverse across the ocean between repeaters spaced roughly every 100 km to amplify the light traveling down the fiber. In space, however, it is not possible to set up such relay points between satellites. Therefore, it is necessary to amplify the optical power inside the satellite by a factor of 30 to 40. Amplifying the power through a fiber as thin as 8μ in diameter increases the energy density and temperature, making it extremely difficult to ensure stable operation of the equipment. NEC's technological capabilities is demonstrated through the achievement of optical communication under such conditions.
The other major challenge was to develop an optical acquisition and tracking technology. As I mentioned earlier, the diameter of the beams is about 600 meters, and both the emitter and receiver of the beams are moving at a considerable speed through space. The optical acquisition and tracking technology is an extremely advanced and required repeated simulations using digital twin technology, which virtually replicates the system on a computer.
The third challenge was to ensure ability to function in the harsh environment of space. The temperature variation in outer space is extreme with the temperature rising to over 100℃ in direct sunlight and dropping to -120℃ in the shade. Although the thermal control function ensures that the temperature fluctuations inside the satellite is not as severe, temperatures still fluctuate by several tens of degrees. The semiconductors in devices that emit lasers are very sensitive to temperature changes, and a large change in temperature will cause the wavelength of the laser to shift. Therefore, temperature control is essential to stabilize the wavelength. Wavelength also shift due to the Doppler effect which is the change in frequency due to the movement of a satellite in its orbit. This is the same phenomenon that occurs when the high pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance drops in pitch as it passes by. Technology to subtly control and compensate for such shifts in wavelength is also very important and developing this technology was an enormous challenge.
-- What are the factors that helped you overcome the challenges faced in developing these technologies?
Miyoshi: NEC has been engaged in technology development in various fields under the banner of deploying technologies from the ocean floor to outer space. Even in the field of optical communication technology, NEC has supported communication networks by developing new technologies that are suitable for each environment, such as terrestrial and submarine environments, and we are leveraging our extensive experience to deploying optical communication in space. There are many companies that can quickly develop superior component technologies, and we have collaborated with them on various occasions. However, I believe that there are not many companies that can match NEC in terms of technological capabilities and human resources to provide comprehensive support in completely new fields such as space.
Inter-satellite optical communication enhances accuracy in disaster risk management
--What are some of the social issues that can be solved by using LUCAS?
Miyoshi: There are many possibilities, but we believe that a particularly major one is in the area of disaster risk management. The acquisition and transmission of large volumes of data through inter-satellite optical communication will enable the collection and analysis of data, which will improve the accuracy of disaster prediction and management. By collecting a large amount of data during ordinary times and conducting analysis and simulations, we can identify trends in disasters and minimize damage when they occur. These are some of the ways we expect the LUCAS system to be used. In addition, the use of inter-satellite optical communication systems will enable rapid data transmission, making it possible to swiftly collect information in the event of a disaster.
-- Finally, what are your thoughts on the future of space development and the space utilization business?
Miyoshi: Japan’s style of space development used to be one that focused on building on and creating new value from the Western model of space development. However, Japan's space development technology has already caught up with, and in some fields surpassed, that of the West. Becoming a leader in technology development also means that we have a responsibility to think about how we can improve society through the use of such technology. I believe NEC must implement measures to fulfill this responsibility going forward.
At the same time, I feel that the Japanese mindset is not yet completely prepared to take challenges head on. Challenges are always accompanied by failures, but where possible, we should forge ahead without fear of failure. Of course, we should not run head first into every opportunity recklessly. As new technology emerges, we should have open discussions on how they can can be used to benefit everyone and then invest boldly to drive innovation. Space has great potential for such investment. While promoting collaboration and co-creation with people from various fields, I would like to help build a Japanese mindset and culture that inspires people to take on challenges in the new field of space. This is a goal I hope to achieve.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on a bye this week. However, that doesn’t take away from the fact fans are feeling pretty good with a 5-5 record following back-to-back wins.
In this week’s SB Nation Reacts poll, there was a huge bump up in confidence from the fans as 79-percent feel the team is headed in the right direction.
As you can see from the graphic above, things weren’t looking good for some time with major dips in fan confidence. But things are looking much better for the team after their recent victories, which the fans are obviously liking.
At 5-5, the Bucs currently sit atop the NFC South with seven games left to play. Many feel the remaining schedule looks favorable for Tampa Bay so the fans were asked how many more games will the Buccaneers win the rest of the season.
Those results are shown here.
The majority of fans feel five to six more wins seems realistic for this Buccaneers team. That’ll give them a record of 11-6 or 10-7. That’ll give them a good chance at winning the division with the way the rest of the divisional teams have played and get into the playoffs, but of course all that hinders on how well they play.
Speaking of playoffs, a national poll asked NFL fans who would make the playoffs this season out of the NFC.
The Buccaneers were one of the teams fans across the league voted on making the playoffs.

Woman pays off parking ticket issued to her in 1976
CALUMET, Mich. -- Police in this Upper Peninsula town had forgotten about the $1 parking ticket written on Sept. 1, 1976. But the woman who had found it on her windshield hadn't.
The ticket, a $20 bill and a note arrived at police headquarters last month in a plain white envelope with no return address.
The note read: "I always had good intentions of paying it. I put it aside and every once in a while I would come across it and said 'someday I'm going to pay it.' Now I think it's time."
The fine for an unpaid meter violation increased to $5 after 72 hours, said police chief David Outinen, but it hadn't increased beyond that. He told The Daily Mining Gazette of Houghton that he couldn't remember someone making good on an unpaid ticket after so much time.
The woman apparently hopes her payment closes the matter. "Please don't try and track me down. I am a respectable lady," she wrote.

The European Union (EU), as an international body, does not have a long history with Kurdish issues compared to world powers such as the United States, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom. The first time the EU engaged with the Kurdish question was in the late 1980s. Between 1989 and 1994, the European Parliament passed a series of resolutions of unanimous support for Kurds in northern (Turkey) and southern (Iraq) Kurdistan. In the south, Saddam’s regime used chemical gas against the Kurds. In Turkey, military rule, which came to power in a coup d’état, followed a policy of fire and iron against the Kurds. These two events, one a genocide and the other a steady massacre, introduced the Kurdish cause to the Europeans.
Marlies Casier, a Belgian analyst who has studied the Kurds, says these two events “had an impact on the conscience of Europeans.” Thus the Kurdish question was known as a humanitarian issue in European political and public circles. The European Court of Human Rights issued a series of lawsuits against the Turkish state and the European Parliament, through its decisions, gave a set the humanitarian discourse in a political frame.
But has the EU stayed focused on the humanitarian agenda or has it also developed a political approach to the Kurdish question in Turkey? Does the European Union have a political interest in the Kurdish question?
The solution to the Kurdish question is a matter of principle for Europe
From a European point of view, the Kurdish question is a living and clear example of Turkey’s socio-political reality and at the same time is the result of a policy of “state racism” in which the rights of minorities are violated. No country can become a member of the European Union when it does not have the will, or the ability, to secure fundamental human rights, including the rights of minorities. This is a strict principle for a normative humanitarian body like the European Union. When the question of Turkey’s membership once again came up in the early 1990s, the EU started to take steps to address the Kurdish question as a minority issue in the country. From there, the EU’s dealings with the Kurdish question officially started.
Beyond principle, the Kurdish question as a political card
In 1993, the European Union developed the Copenhagen criteria, giving a political and legal framework for dealing with the Kurdish question and making it an important issue in Turkey-European Union relations.
Here we need to separate the rhetoric from the political goals of the European Union. Europeans use a humane and secular discourse in their dealings with the Kurdish question. In annual reports of both the Parliament and the European Commission, the situation of Kurds is cited as examples of human rights violations and rights of minorities. However, the EU, as an external party, has not made any direct efforts at conflict resolution nor has it raised the Kurdish question in its talks with Turkey. In two rounds of intense negotiations with Turkey, in 1991 and 2005, the European Union did not raise the Kurdish issue, despite Ankara pursuing reforms, making it an optimum time to find a solution to the Kurdish problem.
From the EU’s point of view, the Kurdish question needs to be resolved before Turkey can accede to the union. This is not for the Kurds’ or Turkey’s sake, but because it is in the interests of the European Union itself, which does not want to import socio-political and armed conflicts. But how much does the EU really want Turkey to join the union?
A widespread view in academic circles and among analysts is that the EU has never been in favor of Turkey’s membership. It has imposed preconditions that have had no effect other than disappointing Turkey. There may be an exaggeration in this view, as the process itself is encouraging a closer approach and the harmonization of a number of questions of democracy and the state in Turkey that were strategically beneficial to Ankara. In addition, it was the prospect of membership that led Turkey to openly address the Kurdish question and make some constitutional reforms that were in the interest of the Kurds, such as the abolition of the death penalty and the restriction of military power. So the process wasn’t detrimental for Turkey or the Kurds.
But when referring to the EU as a humanitarian body that wants to resolve the Kurdish question, it is necessary to take into account the fact that while the EU did not have a real desire for Turkey’s membership, it might have been in the EU’s interest to keep the Kurdish question as a political card against Turkey to obstruct its accession.
Beyond Turkey’s EU membership
In addition to its importance in the context of the membership process, from a European point of view, the Kurdish question is important as a factor for achieving stability in a neighboring country. The core power of the European Union is its economic position. It is, therefore, in the interest of the European Union to have stability beyond its borders to encourage the free movement of goods, capital, and services.
Geopolitically, Turkey is of great importance and value to Europe and has become a corridor for natural gas. Natural gas is a strategic commodity that is a source of geopolitical tensions in the region. The Kurdistan Region has emerged as player in the oil sector and European countries are seeing the value in Kurdish oil. In exporting and marketing Kurdish oil, northern Kurdistan [Turkey] plays a duel role, both as a “saboteur” and as a “builder” and the European Union has considered it important that the Kurds of northern Kurdistan have representatives in Turkey’s domestic political processes. The EU aims to play a constructive role, as a factor in maintaining stability in the region.
The EU and Kurds in Turkey, now and in the future
The EU’s influence on the Kurdish question is still tied to Turkey’s membership, and the European Union has shrewdly used this as a political issue in its relations with Turkey. But Turkey’s membership process has stalled and, coupled with the immigration crisis, Ankara is not showing the same enthusiasm in joining the EU that it once had. So the Kurdish question may get edged out of the frame.
But this is not the end of the EU’s impact on the Kurdish question. The EU has shown its will to have ties with Kurdish entities in Turkey. The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which is on the EU’s terror list, is not an option for talks with Europe. The EU has put the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), which is in the parliament, at the forefront of its direct relations with Kurds. In addition, the European Union has constantly helped civil society organizations in northern Kurdistan. The EU sees these two parties – HDP and civil society organizations – as moderate entities who they can build relationships with.
In this regard, the EU may have two strategic goals. The first is to influence northern Kurds to play a constructive role in Turkey. The second is the use of the “Kurdish Question card” in the context of its relations with Turkey.
This is the first in a series looking at EU policies and interests in relation to the Kurdish question in all four parts of Kurdistan.

Rennet! What a wonderful thing!
What’s rennet, you ask? Well! I’m glad you did.
Rennet is a combination of enzymes, usually extracted from the stomachs of mammals (read: fleishig or meat), which breaks down proteins in milk to separate them into milk solids and liquid (also known as Curds and Whey – made famous by Little Miss Muffet). The principal enzyme in this process is called chymosin and it is responsible for breaking down the protein casein. Without getting into the whole process, the addition of rennet into milk causes the formation of curds which eventually get separated from the whey and processed into a whole variety of various cheeses.
In order to really appreciate cheese, one must delve into the history of food for just a moment. It appears that cheese was actually discovered by mistake (much like the ancient Egyptians accidentally discovered beer). Before the advent of clay or modern storage containers, ancient civilizations would often use the skins or stomachs of animals as bags. What they discovered was that day-old milk, left in the stomach-bags, had the interesting effect of curdling and forming the curds and whey. When they figured out how to separate and dry the curds, they found an effective (and I daresay, delicious,) means of preserving milk. Fast-forward a few centuries, and this process has undergone an amazing evolution to provide us with the multitudes of cheeses from all over the world (except maybe Japan and the Philippines).
It appears that there are 3 forms of rennet: vegetable/fungal, microbial, and animal-derived. The first, vegetable or fungal rennet is an enzyme that is extracted from various plants or fungii (mushrooms) and have the similar properties of animal-derived rennet. This is suitable for vegetarians, and under the right circumstances, considered Kosher. Microbial rennet is when a bacteria is added to milk to achieve the same separation, but it has the unwanted side-effect of creating bitter-tasting cheese after prolonged periods. However, GM rennet, also known as a Genetically Modified microbial rennet, is when they genetically modify a bacterial source to produce the genetically similar enzyme that is found in animal-derived rennet. This eliminates the problem of bitter cheese, with the added benefit that is is vegetarian- and kosher-suitable. The last, of course, is the traditional means of making cheese, by extracting the rennet from mammal stomachs – a process that varies from one company to the next – and is usually found in tablet or liquid form.
Now, it seems that there is a liquid GMO Chymosin (microbial rennet) that is OU certified (produced by Chr. Hansen) and is completely pareve. This liquid rennet is actually available for purchase by a company called Kelley Supply. So, those of you with a hankering for making some homemade cheeses – now’s your chance to make some!
There is one other method of making cheese and that’s with an acid coagulation. When the pH balance of milk shifts drastically into the acidic pH range (0 – 7 pH), it causes a similar effect as adding rennet to the milk. The proteins change, and separate into milk solids and liquid. In fact, if you’ve ever left milk in your refrigerator past its due date, you’ve probably experienced a rancid smell and chunkiness – that’s separated curds and whey – although given the circumstances in which it was formed, I’d highly recommend against ingestion as I’m sure it’s not very palatable.

This week we started our first game in earnest. Let’s talk about the design and the steps we took to begin implementing it.
The game involves a simple play area with pins. The players tries to knock down the pins by controlling the direction and force at which the ball is projected. The number of pins knocked constitutes the score. The game shares element of classic games such as pinball, bowling and skittles, to name a few.
Setting up the play area
To establish the play area, we used a plane (for the ground) and four cubes stretched to size to provide the walls:
Because we don’t want gaps in our walls, we’ve been careful to be precise with the positions of everything.
Applying a Force to our Sphere
We added a sphere to our scene and made sure that it had a RigidBody body component. The RigidBody component makes it so that the physic engine takes care of the movement of the sphere.
To test adding a force to the sphere we added a temporary script to the sphere and had it add a force to the RigidBody as soon as the game starts.
Immediately it was clear that the force was too weak, so we added a property to the script which allowed us to scale the force. In testing 1000 proved to be a good value. Here is the script:
public class PushSphere : MonoBehaviour
public float PushStrength = 1.0f;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
rb.AddForce (Vector3.back * PushStrength);
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
We also experimented with creating a physic material and assigning it to the sphere. Different levels of friction and bounciness give different behaviours.
Testing With a Single Pin
To test the sphere colliding with a pin we added a single cylinder to the scene. Like the sphere, we made sure it had a RigidBody component attached to it. When the game started the ball shot forward and knocked the pin, as we’d hoped.
To aim our sphere and control the strength of our shot, we created an aimer. The aimer is composed of an empty object containing two cylinders, one pointing forwards and one pointing crossways.
We didn’t want the aimer cylinders interacting with anything so we made sure to remove the colliders from the cylinders.
We also wanted the aimer to be partially transparent so we created a new material, setting the Rendering Mode to “Transparent”, choosing a colour from the Albedo colour picker and setting the Alpha value to a value less than 255.
Updated project files for this week’s project can be found here. This requires Unity Version 5.4.1f1 or later.

Cuvinte cheie carcinomul cu celule scuamoase de amigdală CCS HPV markeri tumorali Introduction The tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma SCC is can hpv hpv virus in throat cancer cause throat cancer a public health problem because of its rising incidence in the last 20 years, in contrast to the decreasing incidence of carcinomas in other subsites of head and neck associated to the reduced prevalence of smoking.
These tumours of oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, hypopharynx and sinonasal region are linked by common characteristics, including a male predominant appearance in the 5th-6th decade of life, an important etiological link with tobacco, alcohol use or betel nut chewing, and a hpv virus in throat cancer resemblance 1.
Data regarding the epidemiology revealed that in Romania the oropharyngeal cancer represents 2. Human papillomavirus 52 positive squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva In France, during the last 30 years, the mortality in oral and oropharyngeal cancer increased by three times 1. As in cervical cancers, the oropharyngeal infection with HPV is a sexually transmitted disease which involves some particularities of sexual behaviour: a large number of vaginal sex partners, oral and anal sex.
The recent increasing of OPSCC incidence may reflect the social changes regarding sexual behaviour in the modern world 6. The can hpv virus cause throat cancer sites preferred by HPV in oropharynx are the tonsils and the tongue, because of the unique presence of transitional mucosa in oropharynx and particular in tonsillar tissue, which presents important histological similarities with the cervical mucosa. Tonsillar epithelium invagination may favour virus capture and promote its hpv virus in throat cancer to basal cells the only dividing cells in the epithelium.
The tonsillar tissue could be a reservoir for HPV in the hpv virus in throat cancer aero digestive tract. We had two premises for our study on tonsillar cancers.
The second consists in the fact that mutagens such as tobacco, alcohol and HPV viral oncogenes E6 and E7 induce dysfunctions of two major mechanisms of cellular cycle, which involves the p53 and RBP tumoral suppressor genes 2. Materials can hpv virus cause throat cancer method We made an immunohistochemical retrospective study between andaiming to identify any correlations between tumoral markers and the evolution and prognosis in tonsillar SCC.
Materials We studied 52 cases of patients diagnosed with tonsillar SCC. We had a first group Group I with 25 cases, where the positive diagnose was made can hpv virus cause throat cancer biopsy and these patients had radiotherapy as first curative method of treatment.
We had a second group Group II with 27 cases, where the positive diagnose was made on hpv in mouth specimens and these patients had surgery as the first curative method of treatment. The dilutions and markers specifications are revealed in Table 1. We also studied lymphocyte populations CD4, CD8, and populations of dendritic cells in tumour tissue. Table 1.

Results The gender repartition of cases was: 47 male cases and 5 female colon cancer genetic heterogeneity. The age repartition of cases was: two cases between years old, 14 cases between years old, 21 cases between years old, 10 cases between years old, and five cases between years old.

E-mail: moc. We report the detection of HPV 52 in a sample taken from a year-old patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva of the left eye. The method used for the detection of HPV was real time polymerase chain reaction.
The evolution was favorable after surgical removal of the tumor and the patient was explained that long-term follow-up is essential to avoid recurrence.
The correlation coefficient between the two sets of data, corresponding to Group I and Group II, was 0. In both concept de helminti, we had 48 smoker patients, representing The patients who were both smokers and alcohol consumers represented We studied the tumoral markers on 52 cases of squamous cell carcinoma.
Thirty-eight cases were well can hpv virus cause throat cancer carcinoma and cancer de prostata quando operar cases were medium differentiated carcinoma.
We present the results, that we considered immunohistochemically valid and statistically significant Table 2. Table 2. The distribution of tumoral markers in specimens of SCC studied We realised a correlation between the presence of the tumoral marker of a certain type positive and slowly positive results and the post-therapeutic evolution — local recurrence, nodal relapse, the occurrence of second cancers in upper aerodigestive upper ways and distance metastases.
We have had patients who had more than one recurrence in the same time. Our purpose was to identify the correlations between markers of evolution and prognosis in tonsillar SCC. Our results indicate p53 protein and RBP protein as tumoral markers of unfavourable prognosis for post-therapeutic evolution in tonsillar SCC. For TGFa, we can can hpv virus cause throat cancer a correlation between its level in tumoral tissue and the risk of loco-regional relapse. For the HPV identification in tumoral tissue, we used the identification of capsid p16 protein, so we cannot make definitive conclusions referring at the presence or absence can hpv virus cause throat hpv virus in throat cancer HPV in the tumoral tissue for patients with tonsillar SCC.
But can hpv virus cause throat cancer realised a correlation between the presence of HPV and the type of post-therapeutic evolution Figures Figure 1. The presence of RBP protein 48 positive and can hpv virus cause throat cancer positive cases was associated with local recurrence in 29 cases The hpv virus in hpv virus in throat cancer cancer of TGF protein 41 positive and slowly positive cases was associated with local recurrence in 18 cases The presence of HPV capsid protein 14 positive cases was associated with local recurrence in nine cases Figure 6.
Tumoral markers in evolution of wart treatment cvs SCC result of our retrospective study From our data, we can certify as prognostic factors in tonsillar SCC: T stage, N stage, performing or not an elective hpv virus in throat cancer of clinical negative neck N0, type of neck dissection, the total dose of radiotherapy.
According to some recent studies, the HPV infection may also increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Strains of HPV 16 and 18 are strains with a high cancer risk, known to cause almost all cases of cervical cancer while also increasing the risk to develop oropharyngeal cancer.
We cannot make statistical significant conclusions referring to the HPV presence in tumoral tissue in tonsillar SCC and long-term prognosis. Demonstrating the presence of HPV in tonsillar hpv virus in throat cancer tissue imposes hybridisation in situ or polymerase chain reaction PCR.
Discussion Slaughter et al. They explained the greater risk for multiple primary cancers 8. Tobacco and alcohol abuse increase hpv virus in throat cancer hpv virus cause throat cancer risk for a second cancer development in patients with oropharyngeal SCC.
Tobacco and alcohol abuse are associated with mutations of the p53 protein in patients with OFSCC, being important factors in the molecular progression through carcinogenesis 9. Many clinical studies searched for the p53 protein mutations on surgical specimens from patients with Hpv virus in throat cancer.
The patients with surgical positive edges for p53 protein mutations have a higher risk of local relapse P53 protein mutations are involved in the loco-regional failure at OFSCC tonsillar with curative radiotherapy The HPV 16 DNA was identified only in primary tumour can hpv virus cause throat cancer and in their metastases in similar manner with cervical cancer 3.
The presence of HPV 16 genome was revealed by polymerase chain reaction PCR or the method of hybridisation in situ, which certified the presence of viral genome included in host cell genome It is necessary to make a study on HPV tonsillar infection in non-smokers and hpv virus in throat cancer consumers.
Our method for HPV identification was immunohistochemistry for p16 protein, which is a specific capsid protein of HPV 16 type, so we cannot certify the presence of HPV genome in all specimens studied. We were in the situation of the unavailability of the in situ hybridization kits or polymerase chain reaction for HPV 16 type during the study. We have to mention the can hpv virus cause throat cancer cost for identifying viral markers. Sinonimele și antonimele papillomavirus în dicționarul de sinonime Engleză Clinical stadialization represents the primary guide to choose the therapeutic modality, but it is a limited guide.
Throat cancer survivor remained positive throughout his treatment
We expected the genetic analysis to be the method of future, meaning the identification of markers for prevention, therapy and good prognosis. Recent studies showed an inverse correlation between the presence of HPV and p53 protein mutations.
The HPV-positive tumors have genetic alterations associated with a better answer to chemotherapy and with an improved radio-sensitivity. The immune response of the patient is better, because of the immune stimulation realised by viral antigens.
The younger age with less comorbidities may contribute to a hpv virus in throat cancer prognosis Prophylactic vaccination is not efficient in already diagnosed infections and in malignant lesions, so it is necessary to study can hpv virus cause throat cancer efficiency of therapeutic HPV vaccination in the treatment of HPV-associated cancer 1. We found djecji paraziti u stolici literature premises for the therapeutic vaccination in Can hpv virus cause throat cancer cancers, where this type of vaccine induced a cytolytic immune response in cells which express it 5.

Implicatia virusului papilloma HPV in toate aceste cancere a fost subiectul unor studii hpv virus in throat cancer mai bine de 20 de ani. HPV reprezinta agentul etiologic al cancerului cervical.
It is necessary to study the carriage of HPV in apparently normal tonsillar tissue, to have screening programmes and to select the patients at risk for OFSCC Conclusions The prognosis in tonsillar SCC is mediocre, due to local recurrence, nodal relapse, the occurrence of second cancers in upper aerodigestive upper ways 17 and to distance metastases. Can hpv virus cause throat cancer our data, we can hpv virus in throat cancer as prognostic factors in tonsillar SCC: T stage, N stage, performing or not an elective type of clinic negative neck N0, type of neck dissection and total dose of radiotherapy.
We cannot draw significant conclusions referring to the HPV presence in tumoral tissue in tonsillar SCC and regarding the prognosis signification of the HPV inmunoterapia cancer que es in the tumoral tissue. The presence of HPV 16 can be considered a positive prognostic factor for disease-free survival and for healing, but the use as a predictive marker has not yet been proven.

Werner Herzog Picks His 5 Top Films
If one can characterize Stanley Kubrick by his complete control over the medium and his dogged insistence on staying within 30 miles of his house when shooting a movie, even if it means dressing up a London factory to look like Hue, Vietnam as he did for Full Metal Jacket, then Werner Herzog can be characterized as his opposite.
Herzog’s movies are strange, messy and ecstatic, a far cry from cover samsung s8 disegni the chilly cover samsung galaxy j3 orso aloofness of Kubrick. In both his feature films and his documentaries, Herzog uses custodia cover samsung s8 his camera to uncover new layers of nature, experience and the human psyche. And there have been few filmmakers more willing to shoot films in rugged, exotic places as Herzog from Antarctica to the Amazonian rainforest. In fact, a number of his most notorious shoots seem more designed to test the endurance of the cast and crew cover samsung s8 superman than to produce a movie.
His film Fitzcarraldo, for example, is about a guy who has the visionary idea to haul a riverboat over a mountain in the Amazon rainforest. Herzog decided, for the purposes of realism, that he would actually drag a riverboat over a mountain. The production, which is in the running for the most miserable film shoot ever, is the subject of the absolutely riveting documentary The Burden of Dreams. At point one handy cover iphone 7 selbst gestalten in the doc, Herzog quips, «I shouldn’t flip cover per iphone 5c make movies puro verge crystal cover iphone 7 anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.» And by the end of the movie, you think that he’s probably right.
Of course, that crazed bravura has always been at the center of Herzog’s mystique. After all, this is the guy who actually ate a shoe after losing a bet with documentary filmmaker Errol Morris(find 30 of his films online).
In 2009, when Herzog released Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, he was asked by cover samsung j3 silicone morbido 3d stich the folks over at Rotten Tomatoes cover iphone 11 pro to list his top 5 movies. This is a director who once said, cover samsung galaxy j3 con acqua «I believe the common denominator of the Universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility and murder.» So it’s a pretty safe bet that The Lion King didn’t make the cut. Griffith’s epic was his response to the public outcry following his epically racist Birth of a Nation. The movie also happened to revolutionize filmmaking. Everything. He’s the Shakespeare of cinema. Period. Watch his films and you’ll know instantly.
Next isFreaks, Tod Browning’s 1932 cult masterpiece that featured actual circus performers and dwarves. No doubt the movie was an influence on Herzog’s1970 film Even Dwarves Started Out Small. «It’s just formidable, it’s phenomenal,» says Herzog. «You’ve gotta see it. It would take me an hour to explain.»
The last two films on Herzog’s custodia cover samsung s5 listWhere Is The Friend’s Home(1987),Abbas Kiarostami’s quiet tale of a kid who is just looking to return a notebook to his friend. AndRashomon (1950), Akira Kurosawa’s first true masterpiece, the film that introduced Japanese film to the cover samsung a3 2016 ragazza western world after migliore cover per iphone 5 it won a Golden Lion at the 1951 Venice Film Festival. The movie also clearly impressed Herzog:
It is probably the only film that I’ve ever seen which has something like a perfect balance, which does not occur in filmmaking very often. You sense it sometimes in great music, but I haven’t experienced it in cinema, and it’s mind boggling. I don’t know how [Akira] Kurosawa did it. It’s still a mystery custodia cover huawei p9 lite to me. That’s greatness.
cobra verde haunting when he samsung new arrival uncovers a hole in the ground and peers down inside to see if filled with women. Later in the film cover samsung note 10.1 the song and dance of three young girls has a profoundly stirring affect; at that moment my heart was so full.

Also something that stuck with me, his relationship with his dogs; in particular when he makes the long snowmobile trip back home, hundreds of miles, the dog somehow follows him all the way, remarkable. remarkable.
so yeah movies cover samsung s6 art for this herzog are not just entertainment, theyre actually cover samsung galaxy s3 mini silicone ebay poetry, mythological peoms, epic poems, spiritual religous poetry really opperating on a different level. aigh im out

My work investigates the genetic basis of sex differentiation (SD) and salinity tolerance (SaT) in tilapia (Cichlidae).
By studying the masculinizing effects of high temperatures (TSDI) in species with sex chromosomes (GSD), I seek to answer biological questions (evolution of sex determinism) as well as aquaculture issues (sex control). Through genomic approaches (RADseq, RNAseq) applied to wild populations or domestic strains, 3 questions are explored:
– how/why GSD and TSDI coexist in the sex determination of tilapia?
– under what conditions and frequency does GSD occur in wild populations?
– what are the consequences (fitness) for masculinized individuals and the resilience of populations?
Using similar approaches, SaT is studied in species with high/low euryhalinity.
Finally, I am involved in projects to enhance aquatic biodiversity and reduce the environmental impact of aquaculture.

There’s a new study out that suggests that fewer Americans are turning to entrepreneurship in 2010 than did in 2009. According to an article in Entrepreneur’s Daily Dose blog, the study by outsourcing firm Challenger, Gray, & Christmas* found that “just 3.7 percent of job-seekers ended up starting a business… For comparison, 8.6 percent of the unemployed became entrepreneurs in calendar [year] 2009.”
The article is titled Note to Entrepreneurs: Laid-Off Workers No Longer Want To Be You. Interesting, because I’d argue that they never did. Sure, lots of people hang out consulting shingles or think their employment gap is the perfect opportunity to test out that business venture they always said they wanted to start. But most people aren’t prepared for the long hours and the do-everything-yourself reality of starting up a business. Not to mention the lack of a steady paycheck, health care benefits, or a built-in pension plan.
What do you think? Surprised by the numbers or a reversion back toward the norm?
*Sorry that there’s no link to the original study, but I couldn’t find one. If you have one, please let me know and I’ll add it in.

Last year, we issued a report on toxic algae and three weeks later the city of Greenfield lost its drinking water. Now we see that the Environmental Working Group has found no improvement. How long before another town faces the same problem Greenfield did?
Microcystin and other cyanotoxins are still not regulated by the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act. Thus, few drinking water systems test for them. These very dangerous natural chemicals are still on EPA’s candidate list for regulated contaminants but they have made it no further.
When it comes to beach monitoring for the same substances, Iowa still does not use the EPA’s recommended action level and prefers to use on more than twice as high, making any notice to beachgoers of the presence of microcystin less likely.
In high amounts cyanotoxins can make you sick and cause serious long term damage to human health. There are many reports of dogs dying after playing in ponds and licking their fur after.
The EWG report also found further evidence of what we reported last year in our report.
“The late summer months are usually the peak of the algae bloom season, though recent outbreaks are starting earlier and lasting longer. Increased rainfall and rising temperatures caused by the climate crisis are exacerbating the issue.”
Later peaks in blooms and toxins means that the beach monitoring system will not see them since it ends in Iowa on Labor Day. True fewer people will be at beaches, but water supplies are vulnerable later into the year and no one is looking for microcystin in October.
Three weeks after IPP released its report in June 2018, the city of Greenfield, Iowa, closed its drinking water system for about a week because microsystin got in finished water. One wonders if in another three weeks after Thursday’s release we might see another town in the same predicament.
The EWG report illustrates the problems with averages. In some parts of the state a single 2007 storm led to over 100 tons per acre of topsoil eroding into rivers and streams in some parts of the state.
This week the Environmental Working Group released a report that shows that the rate of soil erosion in parts of Iowa is way worse than most people could have imagined.
Using data from the Iowa Daily Erosion Project, headed by agronomist Rick Cruse at Iowa State University, EWG’s report shows that Iowa’s statewide erosion rate of 5.2 tons per acre* can be very misleading and hides the fact that in some parts of the state a single 2007 storm led to over 100 tons per acre of topsoil eroding into rivers and streams in some parts of the state.
This illustrates the problem with averages. Sure, large parts of the state (the flatter parts of north-central Iowa, especially) might not be losing much soil at all, but other, hillier parts of the state are not doing so well.
And in some years, erosion might not be much of a problem because the storms just are not very severe, but as a report from earlier this year points out, climate change is driving more frequent and severe storms in Iowa — the kind that lead to catastrophic erosion.
Many current policies and practices are not helping the situation. When we speak in statewide averages we might think that those policies and practices are working better than they actually are.
Be sure to watch the 5 minute video that goes along with the report.
*In Iowa the “tolerable” soil loss amount, or “T,” is five tons per acre per year. This T value has been around for years and was theorized to be the rate at which soil was regenerated. Many experts question the validity of a T value of five and think that a truly sustainable soil loss limit would be significantly smaller


View Full Version : Sight Picture
Mas, when I was in the military in the late 60's, we were taught that your "target spot" sat on top of a front sight (which was aligned within the rear sight). That method served me quite well back in the day, so to speak. I have been away from firearms since that time; but, am now getting into self defense handgun shooting. Instruction now is to overlay the "target spot" w/ the front sight. I am making it work w/ our Glocks but it is far less intuitive. I also understand that SD handgun sights are basically set up for the overlay sight picture; whereas, "bullseye" handgun sights are set up for the method I learned in the Army.
Why the two different sight picture methods?
The six o'clock hold was geared for a circular target of known size at known distance, where it gave a more precise aiming point. For defensive work, where you'll aim at a particular spot on the body or the center of whatever mass is exposed to you by an opponent behind cover, the "center hold" seems to give better results to most shooters.
Think of it this way: the six o'clock hold is a kind of "Kentucky windage" in which you're holding low, hoping to hit a spot a certain distance above the sights, instead of holding high left to compensate for a gun that shoots low right. Being able to center the sight picture on the spot you want to hit is one less thing to have to remember in a situation of extreme, life-threatening stress.

A downloadable game
What is Ollie?
Ollie is a riveting platformer that takes you through 20 levels, each one intricately designed to kill you. Luckily, there are no "lives", so feel free to die as much as you want.
Is it fun?
Ollie is loads of fun. The gameplay itself is quite simple: Run, Jump, Collect the coins, Don't touch the spikes. But don't let that fool you. The coins are hidden all over in the nooks and crannies. Sometimes you need to jump over the spikes, other times you run from them. Each level is highly varied and most introduce a new or altered mechanic. The "digital night time" art direction gives a 1987 mood to the whole thing.
Who made it?
My name is L Gravovski and Ollie is my very first game. Not my first release. My first game. Ever. I started development on Ollie the same day I started learning the Godot Engine. I originally just wanted to build something to move me to learn more, kind of like an open testing project. But as I started working out the controls and mechanics of the game, and started designing some levels, and created the different animation frames for Ollie and the other assets, I started to really fall in love with this game and decided to make a real go at releasing a solid, playable version. Four months later and here we are! It's not perfect, there's still a lot I need to learn and you will definitely see improvements in the next game, but I'm proud to release it as version 1.0.
Thanks for downloading the game and paying whatever you think it's worth. I really hope you enjoy playing Ollie as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Background Prescribing errors complicate a significant number of paediatric admissions. Ongoing training and monitoring of prescribing competency in junior doctors has occurred in Cardiff since 2001, alongside national measures aimed at improving training and competency.
Aim Ongoing monitoring of junior doctors' prescribing competency to assess the effect of these national and local initiatives.
Methods Junior doctors receive training and subsequent assessment on prescribing competency at induction. A 1 h bleep-free session concerning paediatric prescribing precedes completion of four prescribing tasks. British National Formulary for children and calculators are provided. Those scoring 0 or 1 are retrained before prescribing is permitted. Our previously published data of doctors between 2001 and 2004 was compared with assessment in 2007.
Results 30 junior doctors were assessed in 2007 (32 in 2001–2004). All four questions were answered correctly by 22/30, compared to 10/32 (31%) in 2001–2004. The mean score in 2007 was 93.3% compared to 57.8% previously (see table 1). Comparison of means with previous results demonstrated statistically significant improvement with a mean difference of 36% (95% CI 24 to 47). In 2007, eight (27%) doctors got just one question wrong and no doctor answered all questions incorrectly. In 2001–2004, 22/32 (67%) made at least one error during previous assessment, and one doctor answered all questions incorrectly.
Conclusion Ongoing monitoring of junior doctors' prescribing ability has demonstrated improvements which may be due to local and national training initiatives.

Abnormal vaginal bleeding can happen for a variety of reasons. Learn when the bleeding is considered to be abnormal and what the potential causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding are.
Last Updated: Oct 22, 2020 11:29 GMT
Normal vaginal bleeding (menorrhea) or menstruation is a part of a woman’s menstrual cycle. It occurs every 21 to 35 days and may last for two to seven days. The ovaries are the main source of female hormones which regulate the menstrual cycle.What is abnormal vaginal bleeding?
Abnormal vaginal bleeding is a gynecological condition that happens due to a medical condition and is unrelated to normal menstruation. Vaginal bleeding that happens between periods is said to be abnormal and is termed as intermenstrual bleeding, spotting, and metrorrhagia. Abnormal vaginal bleeding happens either during the wrong time of the month or in inappropriate amounts. Some of the causes of this condition may be easy to treat. This requires medical attention and immediate treatment.When abnormal vaginal bleeding happens?
· When you are not expecting your menstrual cycle to happen
· After sex
· After menopause
· When the menstrual blood flow is lighter or heavier than what is supposed to be normal for you
· In girls who are less than nine years oldCauses of abnormal vaginal bleeding
Most causes of abnormal bleeding are due to irregular ovulation. The causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding includes
- A growth in your uterus or cervix
- Infections like endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease
- During pregnancy: It is reported that 20 to 30% of women may experience vaginal bleeding during their pregnancy. Vaginal bleeding is more common in women who carry twins and other multiple gestations than in women who carry a single fetus. The scant amount of blood that is noticed during the first two weeks of pregnancy could be due to “implantation bleeding”. The causes of vaginal bleeding can also be due to ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, cervical infection and premature labour.
- A hormone imbalance: The imbalance between the levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones can cause abnormal bleeding. Thyroid problems, PCOS, dysfunctional ovaries can cause hormonal imbalance. Abnormal vaginal bleeding can also happen when starting any hormonal contraceptives.
- Vaginal bleeding that happens after sexual intercourse could be due to injuries to the vaginal wall during intercourse, any infections and anatomical lesions.
- Cancer and precancerous conditions like cervical, endometrial, vaginal and ovarian cancer
- Usage of birth control pills and intrauterine devices
- The less common causes include sexual abuse, uterine fibroids, structural problems and blood clotting disorders.
Diagnosis of abnormal vaginal bleeding
You should seek immediate medical attention if you notice abnormal vaginal bleeding. If you have pain, fatigue, fever and dizziness, contact your physician immediately. Have a record of your menstrual cycle history. Tell your physician the duration and heaviness of your bleeding.
A physical examination and a pelvic examination are performed to identify the cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding. Some of the following diagnostic tests are performed.
· A blood clotting profile
· Thyroid function and other hormone profile
· A pregnancy test
· Tests for sexually transmitted disease
· Pelvic MRI to visualize fibroids and cancers
· Endometrial biopsy
· A pap smear to rule out cervical cancer
Treatment for abnormal vaginal bleeding
Treatment for abnormal vaginal bleeding depends on the underlying cause.
· Hormonal treatment in case of absence of ovulation
· If the cause is due to precancerous changes, progesterone medications is prescribed
· If the cause of bleeding is infection, antibiotics are prescribed
· Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE): For treating fibroids, special procedures are performed. UFE is an invasive procedure, where fibroids are shrunk and the blood flow is arrested.
· Endometrial ablation: In this procedure, the lining of the uterus is destroyed using a laser.
· The surgical removal of fibroids is carried out by a procedure called myomectomy.
· Dilation and curettage (D&C): If the excessive bleeding is not controlled by medicines, D and C is done. Here, the endometrial tissue is gently scraped or suctioned from the uterus.
· Hysterectomy: When hormone medications become insufficient to control excessive vaginal bleeding and the cause is either cancerous or precancerous condition, a hysterectomy is performed that involves the removal of the uterus.
Prevention of abnormal vaginal bleeding
· Maintain a healthy weight
· Use birth control pills and hormone therapy as directed by the physician
· Manage your stress with relaxation techniques
· Always use any medicine after doctor’s consultation and use the recommended doses
The underlying cause of vaginal bleeding has to be identified and medical attention should be sought.

Document Type : Research Paper
Ph.D. Of sport management, Faculty of physical education and sport sciences, Kharazmi University, Tehran, Iran
Assistant Professor, Faculty of Education and Psychology, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran
M.A., Faculty of Education and Psychology, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the Covid 19 pandemic and the absence of spectators on the results of popular football teams in the Persian Gulf Premier League. The results of Esteghlal, Perspolis, Sepahan, Tractor, Foolad FC clubs at the first round robin stage of nineteenth season (with spectators) were compared with their results at the first round robin stage of twenty season (without spectators) using a t-test. The analysis of the findings showed that the results of the host teams without spectators were not significantly different from the match with presence of spectators at the stadiums. This lack of significance was observed in the number of home wins, the number of host teams’ goals scored, and the number of red cards shown to the host teams. However, there was a significant difference in the number of yellow card shown to the host teams. Although spectators always play an important role in the success of the host teams, strengthening the tactical and technical abilities of players and teams, managing the emotions and stress of players, and above all knowing the atmosphere and competitive environment and getting players used to spectators’ presence at the stadiums have caused the teams and players to acquire the necessary skills to control spectator pressure. Therefore, the effect of spectator presence on the results and performance of teams has been greatly diminished.
