Customized zero frequency control for hybrid FIR noise filtering in ΣΔ fractional-N PLL

This paper describes a method to control the zeroes in the frequency response of hybrid finite impulse response (FIR) filter in ΣΔ fractional-N PLL for quantization noise reduction. By adjusting the current allocation in different branches of the charge pump, transfer function of the FIR filter can be customized to meet various system requirements. Simulation results shows that the proposed method effectively adds flexibility to the hybrid FIR noise filtering technique while it also helps to reduce the hardware complexity.
Critical analysis of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in the setting of complex renal vasculature: initial experience and intermediate outcomes.

OBJECTIVE We report our experience with laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) in the setting of complex renal vasculature and critically analyze the technique and intermediate recipient outcomes. METHODS Thirty-nine living renal donors with multiple renal arteries or veins, or anomalous venous anatomy, who underwent LDN between 2003 and 2007 at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic and perioperative data were collected on donors and recipients. RESULTS Complex vasculature consisted of multiple renal arteries in 26 cases (67%), multiple renal veins in 10 cases (26%), retroaortic renal vein in 5 cases (13%), circumaortic renal vein in 4 cases (10%), and a persistent left-sided inferior vena cava (IVC) in 1 case (3%). Thirty-four (87%) patients had a single anomaly and five (13%) had multiple anomalies. Mean operative time was 196.3 minutes (range 135-311 minutes), mean blood loss was 99.4 mL (range 25-400 mL), and mean hospitalization period was 2.6 days (range 1-4 days). Donor creatinine preoperatively and at discharge was 0.8 mg/dL and 1.2 mg/dL, respectively. Mean warm ischemia time was 168.9 seconds (range 90-300 seconds). Mean recipient creatinine at the time of discharge was 1.45 mg/dL, and nadir creatinine at 1 and 2 years follow-up was 1.41 mg/dL and 1.30 mg/dL, respectively. There were three (7.7%) intraoperative complications and two (5%) cases of allograft failure over the 2-year period. CONCLUSIONS LDN in patients with complex vascular anatomy is safe and efficacious and does not negatively impact the complication rate or recipient outcomes. This procedure may improve the availability of allografts.
Cognitive Mechanisms of Word-formation Process: Interrelation of Conceptual and Verbal Structures

This article deals with the peculiarities of mechanisms providing formation of semantics of compound words from the perspective of the cognitive approach. More to the point, it is a question of conceptual derivation, where meaning formation of compound words is carried out by the interaction of its component conceptual structures. The author has researched the main means which take part in the processes of conceptual derivation of both structurally motivated and structurally unmotivated compound words. Special attention is given to revealing the propositional structures correlated with the word formation meanings of compound words. Keywords: word-formation, conceptual derivation, cognitive mechanism, perspectivization, compositionality.
Faculty positions as a career choice for professionals--Part II.

This is the second part of a two-part article designed to identify "why professionals choose or do not choose faculty positions. " The first article reviewed the methodology and the results as they applied to the demographic data. This was published in the June 1991 issue of the AANA Journal. This article reviews the results as they apply to life cycle and certain intrinsic and extrinsic factors of the respondents. The respondents were CRNAs who had graduate degrees, or were faculty in nursing education, faculty in higher education, or nursing service personnel. The article also covers additional recommendations made by the researchers for future studies. The results showed that 71% of the CRNA faculty intended to remain in academia for the next 5 years and 75% for the next 10 years. Ninety percent of the CRNA faculty indicated they would recommend a position in teaching to others. Intrinsic factors, such as the ability to use their knowledge and opportunity to teach were important to CRNA faculty as an influence to become faculty members. Extrinsic factors of salary, fringe benefits, and the cost of malpractice insurance were among those items identified by CRNA faculty as reasons why they would not become faculty members. It is hoped that this study will assist nurse anesthesia programs, universities and colleges in faculty recruitment activities. The information was presented by the authors at the Assembly of School Faculty Meeting held in Tampa, Florida, in February 1991.
Design of a compact triple-band planar double inverted-F antenna

A novel printed planar double inverted-F antenna (DIFA) with enhanced gain is proposed, whose bands are 1.78–1.88 GHz, 2.25–2.48 GHz as well as 5.33–5.8 GHz, respectively. In this design, the antenna occupies small size with length of 80 mm, width of 45 mm and height of 1.6 mm and is etched on FR4 substrate with half plane ground. The results of simulation and experiment indicate that this type antenna can be suitable for Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Blueteeth.
Coexistence of lymphoproliferative and myeloproliferative neoplasms with simultaneous CALR and JAK2 V617F mutations.

BACKGROUND Hematopoietic malignancies are a group of blood cell disorders characterized by abnormal hematopoietic proliferation. OBJECTIVE The identification of specific clinicopathologic characteristics and tumor-related gene status provides critical information on potential therapeutic targets. METHODS The specimens were tested with immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, RT-PCR and fragment analysis. RESULTS In this study, a patient with a long history of tobacco use was reported with a diagnosis of simultaneous low-grade B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) and myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Mutational analysis revealed that JAK2 V617F mutation and CALR mutation with 52bp deletion were present in this patient. CONCLUSION These results suggest that lymphoproliferative and myeloproliferative neoplasms may coexist, although the pathogenetic mechanism of coexisting hematologic requires further investigation. Additionally, the data indicate that JAK2 V617F and CALR mutations are not mutually exclusive and the actual frequency of simultaneous JAK2 V617F and CALR mutations is unknown. Whether the coexistence of these mutations imposes any biological or clinical significance awaits further investigation.
Human Locomotion in Hypogravity: From Basic Research to Clinical Applications

We have considerable knowledge about the mechanisms underlying compensation of Earth gravity during locomotion, a knowledge obtained from physiological, biomechanical, modeling, developmental, comparative, and paleoanthropological studies. By contrast, we know much less about locomotion and movement in general under sustained hypogravity. This lack of information poses a serious problem for human space exploration. In a near future humans will walk again on the Moon and for the first time on Mars. It would be important to predict how they will move around, since we know that locomotion and mobility in general may be jeopardized in hypogravity, especially when landing after a prolonged weightlessness of the space flight. The combination of muscle weakness, of wearing a cumbersome spacesuit, and of maladaptive patterns of locomotion in hypogravity significantly increase the risk of falls and injuries. Much of what we currently know about locomotion in hypogravity derives from the video archives of the Apollo missions on the Moon, the experiments performed with parabolic flight or with body weight support on Earth, and the theoretical models. These are the topics of our review, along with the issue of the application of simulated hypogravity in rehabilitation to help patients with deambulation problems. We consider several issues that are common to the field of space science and clinical rehabilitation: the general principles governing locomotion in hypogravity, the methods used to reduce gravity effects on locomotion, the extent to which the resulting behavior is comparable across different methods, the important non-linearities of several locomotor parameters as a function of the gravity reduction, the need to use multiple methods to obtain reliable results, and the need to tailor the methods individually based on the physiology and medical history of each person.
Cost-benefit analysis of walking to prevent coronary heart disease.

OBJECTIVE To quantify the cost-benefit relationship of walking to prevent coronary heart disease. DESIGN Cost-benefit analysis. PARTICIPANTS Hypothetical cohorts of sedentary men and women aged 35 to 74 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Decision-analysis simulation was used to evaluate the cost-benefit relationship of walking, varying level of benefit from exercise, frequency of exercise to achieve benefit, participation rates, and costs of exercise and injury. RESULTS At a relative risk of 1.9 for heart disease associated with sedentary behavior, $5.6 billion would be saved annually if 10% of adults began a regular walking program. A $4.3 billion savings is predicted if the entire sedentary population began walking regularly and the cost of the time an individual spends exercising is accounted for in those who dislike exercising. According to our baseline assumptions, walking is economically beneficial for men aged 35 to 64 years and for women aged 55 to 64 years. The threshold of relative risk at which economic benefit is found for walking in this population overall is estimated at 1.7, and under a volunteer model, most adults would benefit even at a relative risk of 1.15. CONCLUSIONS There are significant sex and age differences in the economic benefits of walking to prevent heart disease. The value assigned to the time an individual spends exercising has a significant impact on the results. Overall, a substantial savings is predicted from encouraging sedentary individuals to participate in a regular walking program.
Contamination of aflatoxins in different kinds of foods in China.

OBJECTIVE To study the contamination of total aflatoxins (AFs) in different kinds of foods including corn, peanut, rice, walnut, and pine nut in six provinces and two municipalities in China. METHODS A total of 283 samples of corn, peanut, rice, walnut and pine nut were randomly collected from local markets in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces, as well as in Shanghai and Chongqing municipalities. The samples were ground to which acetonitrile/water solution was added. After filtering, the extract was transferred into a MycoSep purifying column and was pressed slowly. Then the purified liquid was derivatized with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and assayed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS AFs were detected in 70.27% of corn samples, with a mean level of 27.44 microg/kg and the highest level of 1098.36 microg/kg. In peanut, the AFs detection rate was 23.08%, with a mean level of 0.82 microg/kg and the highest level of 28.39 microg/kg. Very few rice samples with AFs were detected. The AFs levels were very low in walnut and pine nut. CONCLUSION Corn is the food most seriously contaminated with AFs in China. AFB1 is the main aflatoxin which is found as a contaminant in foods.
eAppendix for : ” SAS macro for causal mediation analysis with survival data ”

We let Ta and Ma denote respectively the values of the time-to-event outcome and mediator that would have been observed had the exposure A been set to level a. We let Tam denote the value of the time-to-event outcome that would have been observed had the exposure, A, and mediator, M , been set to levels a and m, respectively. The average controlled direct effect comparing exposure level a to a∗ and fixing the mediator to level m on the mean survival time ratio scale is defined by CDEa,a∗(m) = E[Tam]/E[Ta∗m]. The average natural direct effect is then defined by NDEa,a∗(a ∗) = E[TaMa∗ ]/E[Ta∗Ma∗ ]. The average natural indirect effect can be defined as NIEa,a∗(a) = E[TaMa ]/E[TaMa∗ ], which compares the effect of the mediator at levels Ma and Ma∗ on the survival outcome when exposure A is set to a. Controlled direct effects and natural direct and indirect effects within strata of C = c are then defined by: CDEa,a∗|c(m) = E[Tam|c]/E[Ta∗m|c], NDEa,a∗|c(a ∗) = E[TaMa∗ |c]/E[Ta∗Ma∗ |c] and NIEa,a∗|c(a) = E[TaMa |c]/E[TaMa∗ |c] respectively. For an arbitrary time-to-event variable V , let λV (t) and λV (t|c) denote the hazard or hazard conditional on covariates c at time t, that is the instantaneous rate of the event conditional on V ≥ t. The causal effects can also be defined on the hazard ratio scale, replacing E[·] with λ(·).
The conjugal transfer system of Agrobacterium tumefaciens octopine-type Ti plasmids is closely related to the transfer system of an IncP plasmid and distantly related to Ti plasmid vir genes

We have determined the DNA sequences of two unlinked regions of octopine-type Ti plasmids that contain genes required for conjugal transfer. Both regions previously were shown to contain sequences that hybridize with tra genes of the nopaline-type Ti plasmid pTiC58. One gene cluster (designated tra) contains a functional oriT site and is probably required for conjugal DNA processing, while the other gene cluster (designated trb) probably directs the synthesis of a conjugal pilus and mating pore. Most predicted Tra and Trb proteins show relatively strong sequence similarity (30 to 50% identity) to the Tra and Trb proteins of the broad-host-range IncP plasmid RP4 and show significantly weaker sequence similarity to Vir proteins found elsewhere on the Ti plasmid. An exception is found in the Ti plasmid TraA protein, which is predicted to be a bifunctional nickase-helicase that has no counterpart in IncP plasmids or among Vir proteins but has homologs in at least six other self-transmissible and mobilizable plasmids. We conclude that this Ti plasmid tra system evolved by acquiring genes from two or three different sources. A similar analysis of the Ti plasmid vir region indicates that it also evolved by appropriating genes from at least two conjugal transfer systems. The widely studied plasmid pTiA6NC previously was found to be nonconjugal and to have a 12.65-kb deletion of DNA relative to other octopine-type Ti plasmids. We show that this deletion removes the promoter-distal gene of the trb region and probably accounts for the inability of this plasmid to conjugate.
A Strategy for Automating the Presentation of Statistical Graphics for Users without Data Visualization Expertise - A Position Paper

The growing need to convert the data in databases into knowledge for a public without data visualization expertise requires the ever more precise selection of graphics to be presented to the user for consideration. This can be achieved through a more detailed characterization of the data as well as the data visualization task that the user wishes to accomplish. One way to limit the number of possible graphics based on the data is to characterize the multiple properties that can be described for each variable represented by a column of data. This paper presents seven dimensions with their respective levels that can serve as a framework for classifying statistical graphics such that their effectiveness in performing a given task may then be evaluated.
A stability condition for a time-varying system represented by a couple of a second- and a first-order differential equations

In this paper, we analyze stability of a time-varying system represented by a second-order vector differential equation based on the characteristics of its coefficient matrices. The objective system has a singular coefficient matrix M(t), so the system is composed by a couple of a second- and a first-order vector differential equations. New sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of the equilibrium points are derived. We also discuss the relations between our result and that for time-invariant system, and that for non-singular coefficient matrix M(t).
Two modes of FEN1 binding to PCNA regulated by DNA

The FEN1 nuclease functions during Okazaki fragment maturation in the eukaryotic cell. Like many other proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)‐binding proteins, FEN1 interacts with the interdomain connector loop (IDCL) of PCNA, and PCNA greatly stimulates FEN1 activity. A yeast IDCL mutant pcna‐79 (IL126,128AA) failed to interact with FEN‐1, but, surprisingly, pcna‐79 was still very active in stimulating FEN1 activity. In contrast, a C‐terminal mutant pcna‐90 (PK252,253AA) showed wild‐type binding to FEN1 in solution, but poorly stimulated FEN1 activity. When PCNA was loaded onto a DNA substrate coupled to magnetic beads, it stabilized retention of FEN1 on the DNA. In this DNA‐dependent binding assay, pcna‐79 also stabilized retention of FEN1, but pcna‐90 was inactive. Therefore, in the absence of DNA, FEN1 interacts with PCNA mainly through the IDCL. However, when PCNA encircles the DNA, the C‐terminal domain of PCNA rather than its IDCL is important for binding FEN1. An FF→GA mutation in the PCNA‐interaction domain of FEN1 severely decreased both modes of interaction with PCNA and resulted in replication and repair defects in vivo.
Parcours de formation et insertion des jeunes issus de l'immigration

L'insertion professionnelle des jeunes issus de l'immigration s'avere plus difficile que celle des Francais d'origine, avec toutefois des disparites en leur sein. La premiere partie presente la situation des jeunes sur le marche du travail en 2007 qui varie selon les origines sociales et culturelles. Ces disparites viennent pour une part de leurs parcours d'education et des diplomes obtenus bien differencies. L'examen des cursus de formation des jeunes constitue donc le coeur de la deuxieme partie qui souligne en particulier les moments cles de l'orientation en adequation ou non avec les voeux des jeunes en fin de troisieme de college et de terminale de lycee. Par la suite, les effets de ces parcours d'etudes seront analyses en termes d'obtention du diplome et d'insertion professionnelle des jeunes. Enfin, la derniere section mettra en perspective le sentiment de discrimination percu par les jeunes, leurs parcours d'orientation (subie ou choisie) face a leurs probabilites d'insertion.
A stochastic policy gradient based adaptive control for biped walking

This paper investigates the walking control problem of a planar compass-like biped robot. Suppose that the robot model is not known. A stochastic policy gradient based adaptive control law is then proposed for the purpose of realizing a stable walking with a desired step length. As we show in this paper, with only a constant control input, the robot under consideration has a stable one-step limit cycle when the constant control input is small (equivalently, the step length is small), but when the constant control input becomes larger to make a larger step length, the robot walking trajectory diverges away from the one-step limit cycle and converges to an undesirable two-step limit cycle. Our proposed stochastic policy gradient based adaptive control can overcome the deficiency of using the constant control and realize stable walking over the one-step limit cycle with any desired step length. The validity of the proposed control method is verified by simulation results. Moreover, from the simulation results, the basin of attraction is also enlarged by comparing with other event-based control for biped walking.
Attribution of dispositions to an actor: effects of perceived decision freedom and behavioral utilities.

Situations in which a hypothetical actor was faced with a choice between alternative behaviors are described. Each situation varied along two dimensions: the actor's perceived decision freedom (high versus low) and the utilities of the behavioral alternatives (high versus low). Estimates were obtained of the perceived probability that the actor would engage in each of the behavioral alternatives. Subjects were told which alternative the actor had chosen and were then asked to attribute attitudes or personality traits to the actor on the basis of his choice. Perceived behavior probabilities were shown to be influenced by the actor's decision freedom and by the utilities of the available alternatives. Also, consistent with expectations, the strength of an attribution was a negative function of behavior probabilities. The effects of decision freedom and of behavioral utilities on attribution strength could be predicted from the influence of these variables on behavior probabilities and from the inverse relation between behavior probabilities and attribution strength. Finally, evidence is presented for the utility of a Bayesian approach to the prediction of attribution. Research on the processes underlying inference of traits as the result of observed behavior has centered around two variables: the perceived decision freedom of the actor and the desirability or utility of the act. Steiner (1970) has emphasized perceived decision freedom. In an empirical investigation (Steiner & Field, 1960), perceived decision freedom was found to be positively related to the degree of confidence in the attribution of a trait to the actor. The degree of confidence with which an accomplice of the experimenter was rated to be a segregationist was higher when the accomplice was perceived to have freely chosen a prosegregation stand than when he was assigned a prosegregationist role by the experimenter. In their theory of the attribution process, Jones and Davis (1965) stress the importance of the act's utility, that is, the favorableness of the effects produced by the act. Jones, Davis, and Gergen (1961) reported a study that bears
