Intolerance to Cow's Milk and Wheat Gluten in the Primary Malabsorption Syndrome in Infancy

Since 1950, when Dicke et al. [5] reported their observation on the harmful effect of gluten on patients with coeliac disease, the main interest in the study of this disease has been focused on the pathogenetic role of gluten. Persistent sensitivity to gluten has even been taken as a diagnostic criterion in coeliac disease. However, absorption defects and other coeliac symptoms have been described in some patients in whom the disease was undeniably related to cow’s milk [4, 121. Especially the report of Fallstrom et al. [6] gives interesting new information, suggesting that cow’s milk intolerance may pave the way for a later developing sensitivity to gluten, as proposed earlier by Heiner et al. P I . The malabsorption syndrome in childhood has been under investigation in our hospital during the past few years. The occurrence of the various types of malabsorption syndrome and significance of absorption tests in the diagnosis of these diseases have been presented in another paper [15]. Infants with intolerance to cow’s milk and/or gluten constituted the largest and therapeutically most impor-
SARIVA: Smartphone APP for Real-time Intelligent Video Analytics

This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a new smartphone application that is capable of real-time object detection using both stationary and moving cameras for embedded systems, particularly, the Android smartphone plaƞorm. A new object detection approach, Optical ORB, is presented which is capable of real-time performance at high definition resolutions on a smartphone. In addition, the developed smartphone application has the ability to connect to a remote server and wirelessly send image frames when moving objects appear in the camera’s field of view; thus, allowing the human operator to only view video frames that are of interest. Evaluation experiments show a capability of achieving real-time performance for high definition (HD) resolution video.
Power Quality Enhancement By Using UPFC

A prime complication of a power system engineer is energy crisis, the provocation of energy crisis is due to tremendous need of energy in distribution sector. It is probable to diminish the energy crisis issue by upgrading the power system but it's a time consuming, difficult, and expensive aspect, this problem can be vanquished by preferring Flexible AC Transmission Controllers. FACTS controllers comprises of many controllers such as SVC,SSSC,UPFC,IPFC, etc which can control the power system parameters (real and reactive power, voltage, phase angle. The most essential controller in FACTS controllers is Unified Power Flow Controller(UPFC). The Unified Power Flow Controller(UPFC) is a most versatile FACTS device for real and reactive power flow control and voltage regulation. By incorporating UPFC in our modern power system it is possible to control the power flow thereby decreasing the energy crisis to greater extent. UPFC can provide simultaneous control of real and reactive power flow by modeling the power system in MATLABSIMULINK, thereby improving the performance, power quality and voltage profile in the power system.
A statistical model of grammatical choices in children’s productions of dative sentences

One of the most well-studied questions in child language acquisition is what type of knowledge children possess to guide their syntactic production.1 Some posit that children are able to construct abstract representations to facilitate the acquisition of specific items, whereas others take the specific items as primary, claiming children learn each construction individually as anchored to a specific lexical item. A less frequently pursued question is what is the range of influential factors which weigh upon a child’s production choice. Understanding which factors potentially motivate children’s production choices will broaden the context in which one can pursue questions about children’s acquisition of syntactic production capacity. For instance, it is becoming increasingly clear that adult production is sensitive to multiple factors, including both discourse and grammatical factors (see representative studies by Wasow (2002), Szmrecsanyi (2005), Jaeger (2006), Hinrichs & Szmrecsanyi (2007) and references therein). It is thus important to test whether such factors play a role in children’s syntax, so as to gain a better understanding of what factors are at stake in the acquisition process. This study focuses on the English dative alternation, such as shown in 1a and 1b. 1a. The child gave the drawings to the teacher. 1b. The child gave the teacher the drawings.
A Heuristic Framework for Reliability Based Optimization of Laminated Composite Structures

The design of anisotropic laminated composite structures is very susceptible to changes in loading, angle of fiber orientation and ply thickness. Thus, optimization of such structures, using a reliability index as a constraint, is an important problem to be dealt. The problem of structural optimization of laminated composite materials with reliability constraint using a genetic algorithm and two types of neural networks is addressed in this paper. The reliability evaluation is performed using, alternatively, the following methods: First Order Reliability Method (FORM), FORM with Multiple Check Points (MCP), Standard Monte Carlo (MC) and Monte Carlo with Importance Sampling (MC-IS). The optimization process is performed using a genetic algorithm. To overcome high computational cost, Multilayer Perceptron or Radial Basis Artificial Neural Networks are used. This methodology can be used without loss of accuracy and large computational time savings, even when dealing with structures with non-linear behavior, as it is shown by some numerical examples.
The role of machine learning in scientific workflows

Machine learning (ML) is being applied in a number of everyday contexts from image recognition, to natural language processing, to autonomous vehicles, to product recommendation. In the science realm, ML is being used for medical diagnosis, new materials development, smart agriculture, DNA classification, and many others. In this article, we describe the opportunities of using ML in the area of scientific workflow management. Scientific workflows are key to today’s computational science, enabling the definition and execution of complex applications in heterogeneous and often distributed environments. We describe the challenges of composing and executing scientific workflows and identify opportunities for applying ML techniques to meet these challenges by enhancing the current workflow management system capabilities. We foresee that as the ML field progresses, the automation provided by workflow management systems will greatly increase and result in significant improvements in scientific productivity.
Higher Education in the New Century: Themes, Challenges, and Options (UCLA)

2 It is a real pleasure to return to "the Southland", albeit with a miserable Michigan cold that may erode my voice during these remarks. As you know, I did my graduate work at a small college in the backyard of your President's House in San Marino. In fact, after bringing Michigan to Pasadena five times to play in the Rose Bowl (twice against USC), I began to be introduced as Caltech's ultimate Rose Bowl prank! After returning to the faculty after serving as dean, provost, and president of the University of Michigan for almost two decades, I have learned that has-been university presidents continue to draw rather diverse and sometimes bizarre assignments: • A professional chairperson for various groups dealing with subjects ranging from nuclear energy (the Department of Energy) to federal R&D budgets (the National Academy of Sciences) to the impact of IT on the university to interdisciplinary research (NIH). • But more to the point of today's discussion, I also find myself frequently invited by my colleagues, who are still active in leadership positions, to help them out by serving as a " 2x4 " in raising controversial issues for their faculties, governing boards, state governments, and other patrons. It was in much this same spirit that last year Nils Hasselmo invited me to spend an evening with the executive board of presidents of the Association of American Universities to lead them through a discussion of the forces driving change in higher education. • In part they saw me as an existence proof, since although a bit battered and scared, I had managed to survive two decades of leading change in higher education. They also sought my reassurance that the light at the end of the transformation tunnel was not just a train headed in their direction! • But they were also worried. They knew that the 1990s had been very, very good to higher education. Private fund-raising rose to an all-time high. Endowments mushroomed in a bull market. The states had money once again. Federal research support was strong (albeit highly skewed toward the life sciences). And yet, within two years: The horror of 9-11 had shattered national confidence A war in the Middle East loomed on the horizon And the economy proved once again that what goes up must come down. 3 As you might expect, the early conversation with the AAU presidents began with …
Robust Order Statistics Based Ensembles for Distributed Data Mining

Abstract : This chapter is rooted in the ensemble framework and shows how order statistics can be used in the design of a "meta-learner" that examines the outputs of multiple distributed classifers and provides a final decision. Order statistics is one of the key tools of robust statistics, tailored to handling data with outliers. in a distributed data mining scenario in which there is wide variability among the individual classifers because of the underlying quality of the local data that they examine, a meta-learner should be able to tolerate a few outlier classifer results. The robust properties of order statistics based approaches such as median filtering and m-estimators (Arnold, Balakrishnan, and Nagaraja 1992), have been observed in many disciplines. Thus they are an obvious candidate for meta-learning in such environments.

Cutaneous manifestations of juvenile onset lupus erythematosus: A clinical study

Introduction: Juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the most common systemic autoimmune connective tissue disorders in children. Studies focusing on the mucocutaneous manifestations of childhood lupus are scanty in literature. Objectives: This study was an attempt to describe the cutaneous changes seen in Pediatric Lupus and to correlate with the histopathological and immunofluoresecence findings. Methods: This was a retrospective study. All children under the age of 18 years who were diagnosed to have SLE according to the ACR criteria and presented to the dermatology outpatient department during a period of 1 year were included in the study. Details including clinical features, investigation findings including immunological tests and skin biopsy findings were noted. The analysis was performed using descriptive statistical tools such as percentage and frequency. Results: A total of 14 cases, average age at presentation was 10.14 years. Among the cutaneous manifestations, the most common presenting feature was urticarial vasculitis. Malar rash was seen in 57% of cases. Other cutaneous features seen were diffuse alopecia, oral ulcers. Antinuclear antibody was positive in all cases. Conclusion: Pediatric lupus tends to have a more aggressive course than adult lupus. Early diagnosis and treatment is necessary to prevent progression and development of complications.
Clinical and experimental study of qing wen oral liquid in the treatment of viral infectious fever

110 cases of viral fever patients receiving Qing Wen oral liquid were observed. The total effective rate was 94.5% in comparing to 86.5% in the control group, P < 0.01. The shortening of time concerning both the beginning on the declining of fever and normalization of body temperature were obvious in comparison with the control. The remedy was also effective in improving symptoms and signs, alleviating renal failure, improving microcirculation and providing bi-directional regulation to the immune system, thus the progression of the disease was controlled. Animal experiments showed that Qing Wen oral liquid could protect the rabbits with hemorrhagic fever, delay the incubation period and the peak of fever, lower the febrile index and PGE content, improve the hemorheology and enhance the cell-mediated immunity in CSF.

Scoping Persistent Name Spaces in ADAMS

ADAMS is based on five primitive concepts: attribute, co-domain, element, map, and set. Each instance of these primitives is a named entity to which user references resolve. Thus, the concept of naming and name resolution is crucial to the effective management of data in ADAMS. This paper describes the hierarchical name space proposed for the ADAMS database environment. The reasons for choosing a hierarchical model are examined and the difficulties engendered by this choice are explored. 15 refs., 10 figs.
Introduction to STATA with Econometrics in Mind

This paper is an introduction to Stata with econometrics in mind. One aim of the proposed methodology is the keeping of appropriate records so that results can be easily replicated. These records should meet the requirements of management and internal audit functions in policy making bodies and be sufficient for submission to journals that require such material. The paper describes the Stata desktop, shows how to organise an analysis, how to read and transform data and covers the OLS regression command in detail. It includes details of various post-estimation commands, specification tests, model verification procedures, calculation of elasticities and other marginal effects, forecasting and the use of various statistics used by Stata during the estimation procedure. As all estimation commands in Stata share a common structure the detailed study of the OLS command will assist in the use of other commands.

Die Transkatheter Aortenklappenimplantation

Die transkatheter Aortenklappenimplantation (TAVI) ist ein relativ junges, jedoch nunmehr etabliertes Verfahren zur Behandlung von Patienten mit hochgradiger Aortenklappenstenose und hohem operativen Risiko. Ungeachtet der rasanten Fortschritte mit immer besser werdenden Resultaten, ist eine sorgfältige Evaluation für eine optimale Therapieplanung unverzichtbar. Sobald das Vorliegen einer hochgradigen, symptomatischen Aortenklappenstenose gesichert ist, sollte eine Einschätzung des individuellen Risikos erfolgen. Ist schließlich die Indikation für eine TAVI gestellt, wird im nächsten Schritt eine Computertomografie der Aortenwurzel und der Aorta einschließlich der Femoralarterien durchgeführt. Hieraus entscheidet sich die technische Durchführbarkeit einer TAVI, sowie die Wahl des Zugangsweges und der Klappenprothese. Die fortschrittliche Bildgebung trägt der zunehmenden Vielfalt an Klappenprothesen Rechnung, ermöglicht sie doch eine sehr differenzierte Therapie mit einer auf die individuelle Anatomie zugeschnittenen Selektion der Prothese. Voraussetzung hierfür ist allerdings ist eine ausreichende Erfahrung in der Verwendung der verschiedenen Klappensysteme.
A Comparison of Features for Replay Attack Detection

Speaker verification (ASV) systems are still vulnerable to different kinds of spoofing attacks, especially replay attack due to high-quality playback devices. Many countermeasures have been developed recently. Most of the efforts focus on the search for more salient features and many new features have been proposed. Five kinds of features, namely Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs), linear frequency cepstral coefficients (LFCCs), inverted Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (IMFCCs), constant Q cepstral coefficients (CQCCs) and bottleneck features were compared on the public ASVspoof 2017 and BTAS 2016 datasets in this paper. Our experimental results show that MFCCs and bottleneck features yield comparable results. Both of them significantly outperform others (including the recently proposed CQCCs). However, the number of filters and cepstral bins are essential to the success of MFCCs.

Evaluation of Anti-HIV-1 Integrase and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Compounds from Betula alnoides Buch-Ham

Betula alnoides is a medicinal plant in Thai traditional longevity preparations. The crude extracts of this plant possess various biological activities. However, the isolated compounds from this plant have no reports of anti-HIV-1 integrase (IN) activity. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the anti-HIV-1 integrase and anti-inflammatory effects of isolated compounds from this plant and predict the interaction of compounds with integrase active sites. From the bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethanol extract of B. alnoides stems using chromatographic techniques, five pentacyclic triterpenoid compounds were obtained. They are betulinic acid (1), betulin (2), lupeol (3), oleanolic acid (4), and ursolic acid (5). Compound 2 exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against HIV-1 IN, with an IC50 value of 17.7 μM. Potential interactions of compounds with IN active sites were investigated using computational docking. The results indicated that active compounds interacted with Asp64, a residue participating in 3′-processing, and Thr66, His67, and Lys159, residues participating in strand-transfer reactions of the integration process. Regarding anti-inflammatory activity, all compounds exerted significant inhibitory effects on LPS-induced nitric oxide production (IC50 < 68.7 μM). Thus, this research provides additional scientific support for the use of B. alnoides in traditional medicine for the treatment of HIV patients.
