Reproductive toxicity assessment of lasofoxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), in male rats
Authors: Cappon Gregg D. , Horimoto Masao , Hurtt Mark E. 
Published: July 2004

AbstractBACKGROUND: Lasofoxifene is a nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) with greater than 100‐fold selectivity against all other steroid receptors and is a potentially superior treatment for postmenopausal osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of lasofoxifene on male reproduction in rats in light of the known effects of estrogen modulating compounds on male reproductive ability. METHODS: Lasofoxifene was administered to adult male rats at doses of 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 mg/kg for 66–70 consecutive days. After 28 days of dosing, male rats were cohabited with untreated female rats. Female rats were euthanized on gestation day 14 and a uterine examination was carried out for evaluation of reproductive parameters and embryo viability. Male rats were euthanized after 66–70 days of dosing and epididymal sperm motility and concentration were assayed. The testes, epididymides, prostate, and seminal vesicles were weighed and microscopically examined. RESULTS: The duration of cohabitation was increased for 100 mg/kg males by 0.7 days. The number of males copulating and the number of implantation sites produced per copulation were reduced in the 10 and 100 mg/kg groups. Weights of the seminal vesicles and epididymides were reduced for all groups, although the testes weight and epididymal sperm motility and concentration were not affected by treatment. There were no microscopic findings in the male reproductive tissues. CONCLUSION: The changes in male fertility and reproductive tissue weights after exposure to lasofoxifene are consistent with those previously described for estrogen receptor‐modulating compounds.

Optimization of ultrafiltration/diafiltration processes for partially bound impurities
Authors: Shao Jiahui , Zydney Andrew L. 
Published: July 2004

AbstractUltrafiltration and diafiltration processes are used extensively for removal of a variety of small impurities from biological products. There has, however, been no experimental or theoretical analysis of the effects of impurity— product binding on the rate of impurity removal during these processes. Model calculations were performed to account for the effects of equilibrium binding between a small impurity and a large (retained) product on impurity clearance. Experiments were performed using D‐tryptophan and bovine serum albumin as a model system. The results clearly demonstrate that binding interactions can dramatically reduce the rate of small impurity removal, leading to large increases in the required number of diavolumes. The optimal product concentration for performing the diafiltration shifts to lower product concentrations in the presence of strong binding interactions. Approximate analytical expressions for the impurity removal were developed which can provide a guide for the design and optimization of industrial ultrafiltration/diafiltration processes. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Conserved molecular program regulating cranial and appendicular skeletogenesis
Authors: Eames B. Frank , Helms Jill A. 
Published: July 2004

AbstractThe majority of in vivo studies on bone and cartilage differentiation are carried out using the appendicular skeleton as a model system, with the implicit assumption that skeletal formation is equivalent throughout the body. This assumption persists, despite differences in the cellular origins of the skeletogenic precursors. To test the hypothesis that a fundamental set of genes directs skeletal cell differentiation throughout the body, we analyzed cartilage and bone of the chick limb and head during mesenchymal condensation, and when the skeletal tissues had matured. First, we analyzed the expression patterns of transcription factors in early skeletogenic condensations, which revealed similarities among skeletal cell specification in the limb and head. For example, skeletogenic condensations that undergo endochondral ossification had equivalent expression patterns of skeletogenic transcription factors in both limb and head. In the head, many elements also differentiate through intramembranous ossification, or through persistent cartilage formation. Our analyses of these skeletogenic condensations revealed that a unique expression pattern of transcription factors distinguishes among three skeletal tissue fates. The vasculature was excluded from all three skeletogenic condensations, demonstrating that this is not a characteristic unique to endochondral ossification. Second, we compared three different types of more mature cartilage and bone tissue in both the limb and the head, by analyzing a variety of skeletal collagens and signaling molecules. Histological and molecular markers of cartilage and bone generally were conserved between the limb and head skeletons, although we uncovered subtle differences in signaling pathways that might influence cranial and appendicular skeletogenesis.

Published: July 2004

AbstractWe analyzed statistical data on failures due to dielectric breakdowns caused by water tree degradation in 6‐kV XLPE cables using the Hazard Analysis. The data used in this report reflect actual conditions of XLPE cables. The data are classified by the conductor size of the cables. Calculated failure rates were different for cables having different conductor sizes. In this report, the failure rates were calculated based on the information regarding conductor size, cable length, and cable age. The results obtained make it possible to quantitatively establish the order of the priority of degradation diagnosis. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Improvement of a Fourier coefficient estimation method using an adaptive algorithm and its performance analysis
Authors: Kudoh Norimasa , Tadokoro Yoshiaki 
Published: July 2004

AbstractThere are many applications where it is necessary to estimate accurately the amplitude and phase of signals when the information regarding the frequencies is obtained in advance. This paper presents a new algorithm for estimating more accurately Fourier coefficients of a signal contaminated by additive noise where sinusoidal frequencies of interest are not distributed uniformly. In the proposed method, Fourier coefficients are adaptive parameters. It uses averaged gradient signals and has almost the same acquisition time as the conventional LMS algorithm with more accurate estimation. The performance analysis of the proposed method is presented and its validity and limits are verified under various conditions by computer simulations. It is shown that the proposed method has especially better performance than the LMS algorithm when both the number of frequencies and the step size parameter, µ, are large. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2004

AbstractIn this paper, streamer discharges in dielectric liquids which have various molecular structures, such as a double bond or a triple bond in the molecular formula, are observed in detail for positive point polarity under the application of an impulse voltage to the point electrode. As test liquids, four straight‐chain hydrocarbon liquids—n‐hexane, n‐heptane, n‐octane, and n‐decane—are selected and in addition the influence of a double or triple bond included in their molecular formula on the propagation of positive streamers is investigated in detail by simultaneously using a high‐speed schlieren method and an LED current measurement system.Some differences in the mean propagation velocity and the propagation shape of positive streamers are evident. Their shape is mainly filamentary in test liquids including a double or triple bond. Also, positive streamer propagation is promoted in these liquids. It is thought that this is due to the effect of π bonds which have smaller bond energies than σ bonds. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2004

AbstractA novel high‐velocity thermal spraying was experimentally investigated using a pulsed high‐current electromagnetically accelerated arc plasma. By spraying boron carbide (B4C) powder with a pulsed high‐current arc plasma of 105 A in a coaxial plasma gun, a dense deposit of crystalline B4C with a Vickers hardness of 2600 kgf/mm2 was obtained on SUS304 substrates. The impact velocity of the sprayed B4C particles was thought to be more than 2.5 km/s for powder less than 10 µm in diameter and about 2 km/s for that of 30 ± 10 µm. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Position control for ultrasonic motors using backstepping control and dead‐zone compensation with fuzzy inference
Authors: Senjyu Tomonobu , Yoshida Tomohiro , Uezato Katsumi , Funabashi Toshihisa 
Published: July 2004

AbstractThe ultrasonic motor has comparatively high nonlinearity which varies with driving conditions, and possesses a variable dead zone in control input associated with the applied load torque. The dead zone is a problem for industrial applications and it is important to eliminate the dead zone in order to improve control performance. This paper proposes a new position control scheme for ultrasonic motors to overcome the dead zone. The dead zone is compensated by fuzzy inference, and backstepping control performs accurate position control. Compared with model reference adaptive control, which uses an augmented error, backstepping control can analyze a transient response. Mathematical models are formulated and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed position control scheme. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is believed to predispose carriers to gastric cancer by inducing chronic inflammation. The inflammatory processes may result in the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that damage DNA. In this study, we investigated the relationships between DNA damage in the gastric mucosa and cagA, vacA, and iceA genotypes of H. pylori. The study was conducted with biopsies from the gastric antrum and corpus of 98 H. pylori‐infected and 26 uninfected control patients. H. pylori genotypes were determined by PCR and DNA damage was measured in gastric mucosal cells by the Comet assay (single cell gel electrophoresis). All patients were nonsmokers, not abusing alcohol, and not using prescription or recreational drugs. Levels of DNA damage were significantly higher (P < 0.0001) in the H. pylori‐infected patients than in uninfected patients. In comparison with the level of DNA damage in the uninfected controls, the extent of DNA damage in both the antrum (OR = 8.45; 95% CI = 2.33–37.72) and the corpus (OR = 6.55; 95% CI = 2.52–17.72) was related to infection by cagA+/vacAs1m1 and iceA1 strains. The results indicate that the genotype of H. pylori is related to the amount of DNA damage in the gastric mucosa. These genotypes could serve as biomarkers for the risk of extensive DNA damage and possibly gastric cancer. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 44:91–98, 2004. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Intrinsic bubbles revisited: evidence from nonlinear cointegration and forecasting
Authors: Ma Yue , Kanas Angelos 
Published: July 2004

AbstractThis paper offers strong further empirical evidence to support the intrinsic bubble model of stock prices, developed by Froot and Obstfeld (American Economic Review, 1991), in two ways. First, our results suggest that there is a long‐run nonlinear relationship between stock prices and dividends for the US stock market during the period 1871–1996. Second, we find that the out‐of‐sample forecasting performance of the intrinsic bubbles model is significantly better than the performance of two alternatives, namely the random walk and the rational bubbles model. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Human judgments in New York state sales and use tax forecasting
Authors: Kuo Yu‐Ying , Liang Kuo‐Yuan 
Published: July 2004

AbstractHuman judgments have become quite important in revenue forecasting processes. This paper centres on human judgments in New York state sales and use tax by examining the actual practices of information integration. Based on the social judgment theory (i.e., the lens model), a judgment analysis exercise was designed and administered to a person from each agency (the Division of the Budget, Assembly Ways and Means Committee Majority and Minority, and the Senate Finance Committee) to understand how information integration is processed among different agencies. The results of the judgment analysis exercise indicated that revenue forecasters put different weight on cues. And, in terms of relative and subjective weights, the cues were used differently, although they were presented with the same information. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
