    Abstract: A temperature sensor and temperature sensing system for sensing changes m temperature up to a predetermined temperature is disclosed. The temperature sensor includes a microstructured optical fiber where the micro-structured optical fiber includes a plurality of longitudinal channels extending along the microstructured optical fiber. The sensor also includes a fiber Bragg grating formed in the microstructured optical, fiber by generating a periodic modulation in the refractive index along a core region of the microstructured optical fiber. The fiber Bragg grating is operable to produce band reflection at a reflection wavelength that varies in accordance with changes in temperature at the core region of the optical fiber.

    Abstract: A microstructured optical fiber sensor for sensing changes in a physical characteristic up to a predetermined temperature is disclosed. The sensor includes a microstructured optical fiber and a fiber Bragg grating formed in the microstructured optical fiber by generating a periodic modulation in the refractive index along a core region of the suspended core. The fiber Bragg grating is configured to produce a band reflection spectra including a fundamental mode and a plurality of higher order modes whose respective wavelengths vary in accordance with changes in the physical characteristic at the core region of the microstructured optical fiber. The microstructured optical fiber is configured to increase the confinement loss of the plurality of higher order modes of the band reflection spectra relative to the fundamental mode.

    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating a subject having chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), the method comprising: (a) identifying a RAS pathway mutation in tumor cells of the subject, wherein the RAS pathway mutation is a NRAS, KRAS, and/or CBL mutation; and (b) administering to the subject identified in step (a) a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-hGM-CSF antibody. The subject may have a RAS pathway mutation or a RAS pathway mutation and at least one TET2 mutation identified in the tumor cells. The methods further comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of a hypomethylating agent. Also provided herein are methods for treating a subject having chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), the method comprising: (a) identifying a RAS pathway mutation in tumor cells of the subject, wherein the RAS pathway mutation is a NRAS, KRAS, and/or CBL mutation; and (b) administering to the subject identified in step (a) a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-hGM-CSF antibody lenzilumab and a therapeutically effective amount of a hypomethylating agent. The subject may have a RAS pathway mutation or a RAS pathway mutation and at least one TET2 mutation identified in the tumor cells. A therapeutically effective amount of a hypomethylating agent is further administered according to the provided methods.

    Abstract: An improved apparatus for steam calcining aluminium trihydroxide (Al(OH)3) to produce alumina (Al2O3) is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an Al(OH)3 preheater configured to heat an Al(OH)3feedstock by contacting it with steam. The Al(OH)3 preheater comprises at least one gas solid separator for separating preheated Al(OH)3 from carrier steam. The apparatus further comprises a calciner configured to accept preheated Al(OH)3 from the Al(OH)3 preheater and to produce heated Al2O3 by steam calcination. The apparatus also comprises an Al2O3 cooler configured to remove heat from the heated Al2O3 and produce Al2O3 product. The Al2O3 cooler comprises at least one gas solid separator. The apparatus further comprises a steam compressor in fluid communication with the Al(OH)3 preheater, the calciner and the Al2O3 cooler and configured to accept and pressurise carrier steam from the Al(OH)3preheater and to provide pressurised carrier steam to the Al(OH)3 preheater and pressurised carrier steam the Al2O3 cooler to transfer Al(OH)3 feedstock to and within the Al(OH)3 preheater, and pressurised carrier steam to transfer preheated Al(OH)3 from the Al(OH)3 preheater to the calciner, and to transfer heated Al2O3 from the calciner to and within the Al2O3 cooler.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for photocatalytically splitting H2O, that is either in liquid or gaseous form, to produce hydrogen and oxygen using a radiation source comprising a spectrum of both a high energy component (such as ultraviolet, or UV, comprising visible light) and a low energy component (such as infrared, or IR, also comprising visible light). That is to say, the apparatus and the method both utilise or involve the entire or full spectrum of the radiation source to split H2O. Both the apparatus and method utilise a radiation concentrator assembly that comprises at least one optical element arranged and constructed to direct radiation from the radiation source on to a photocatalyst via a window to photocatalytically split H2O. The produced hydrogen and oxygen may subsequently be stored and used as a fuel source.
