Introduction (2015)

Extract [S]ome interpretations of norms of deliberation privilege speech which is dispassionate and disembodied. Defences of these norms tend to presuppose an opposition between reason and emotion. They tend falsely to identify objectivity with calm and the absence of emotional expression.…The privileging of allegedly dispassionate speech styles,…often correlates with other differences of social privilege. The speech culture of white, middle-class men tends to be more controlled, without significant gesture and expression or emotion. The speech culture of women, racialized or ethnicized minorities, and working-class people, on the other hand, often is, or is perceived to be, more excited and embodied, values more the expression of emotion, uses figurative language, modulates tones of voice, and gestures widely.Iris Marion Young, Inclusion and Democracy (OUP, 2000) 39–40. Principal Claims of the Book The principal claim defended in this book is that, for Aristotle in the Rhetoric, arousing the passions of others can amount to giving them proper grounds for conviction, and hence a skill in doing so is properly part of an expertise in rhetoric.

Systemic<i>Pasteurella Haemolytica</i>Infection as a Rare Sequel to Avirulent Live<i>Pasteurella Haemolytica</i>Vaccination in Cattle (1993)

Eleven cases of systemic Pasteurella haemolytica infection in cattle were identified from routine diagnostic laboratory submissions during the falls of 1988, 1989, and 1991. All cases came with a history of recent vaccination with an avirulent live culture P. haemolytica product. Nine of 11 cases involved cattle vaccinated between 2 and 18 days previously with this product. Ten of 11 cases involved 182-227-kg beef calves that were vaccinated between September and November during routine processing for entry into feedlots. The morbidity and mortality was generally low. The major pathologic findings included meningitis, injection site abscessation and/or cellulitis, and polyarthritis. Systemic infection was indicated in all cases by the isolation of P. haemolytica from 2 or more organs or distinct anatomical sites. In 6 cases, the vaccine injection site was cultured, and in all 6 cases, P. haemolytica was isolated. Three separate P. haemolytica isolates from 2 cases were further studied by restriction enzyme analysis (REA). These isolates were from tissues with suppurative inflammation, including the brain, joint, and injection site. The REA patterns of each of these 3 isolates were identical to the REA pattern of the vaccine masterseed, which strongly suggested that the organisms causing systemic infection were the same as the organism used to produce the vaccine. Because the overall incidence was quite low, other factors, such as stress, probably played a major role in the expression of this syndrome.
A STUDY OF SEDIMENT DELIVERY FROM A SMALL CATCHMENT IN THE LOESS PLATEAU BY THE CS-137 METHOD (1990)

A man-made tracer for soil erosion exists in the world-wide fallout of 137 Cs from nuclear test. Most of the fallout occurred from 1956 through 1965 with maximum deposition rates in 1963—1964. Reiatively little 137 Cs has been deposited since 1970. Cesium-137 is strongly adsorbed within the upper horizons of soil and resists leaching through soil. Since 137 Cs has a half-life of 30 a, it is a good tracer for long-term soil particle movement.  更多 还原
Distributed Model Predictive Control for Multi-Vehicle Formation with Collision Avoidance Constraints (2006)

This paper presents a distributed model predictive control (MPC) method for unicycles information with collision avoidance constraints. The proposed method first stabilizes the system by using a feedback linearization, and then a collision avoidance method based on MPC is applied to the linearized system. One of the features of the proposed method is that each vehicle sequentially solves its optimal control problem at different time step. Unlike other MPC collision avoidance methods in which all vehicles solve optimal control problems at every time step, only one vehicle can solve its optimization problem at one time step. We derive a condition for the proposed method to ensure the feasibility of the optimization method and stability of the closed-loop system. The effectiveness of the method is also investigated by experiments.
Modeling optical absorption for thermoreflectance measurements (2016)

Optical pump-probe techniques based on thermoreflectance, such as time domain thermoreflectance and frequency domain thermoreflectance (FDTR), have been widely used to characterize the thermal conductivity of thin films and the thermal conductance across interfaces. These techniques typically use a transducer layer to absorb the pump light and improve the thermoreflectance signal. The transducer, however, complicates the interpretation of the measured signal because the approximation that all the energy from the pump beam is deposited at the transducer surface is not always accurate. In this paper, we consider the effect of laser absorption in the top layer of a multilayer sample, and derive an analytical solution for the thermoreflectance signal in the diffusion regime based on volumetric heating. We analyze the measurement sensitivity to the pump absorption depth for transducers with different thermal conductivities, and investigate the additional effect of probe laser penetration depth on the measured signal. We validate our model using FDTR measurements on 490 nm thick amorphous silicon films deposited on fused silica and silicon substrates.
The “CPC Clip Motif”: A Conserved Structural Signature for Heparin-Binding Proteins (2012)

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are essential molecules that regulate diverse biological processes including cell adhesion, differentiation, signaling and growth, by interaction with a wide variety of proteins. However, despite the efforts committed to understand the molecular nature of the interactions in protein-GAG complexes, the answer to this question remains elusive.In the present study the interphases of 20 heparin-binding proteins have been analyzed searching for a conserved structural pattern. We have found that a structural motif encompassing one polar and two cationic residues (which has been named the CPC clip motif) is conserved among all the proteins deposited in the PDB. The distances between the α carbons and the side chain center of gravity of the residues composing this motif are also conserved. Furthermore, this pattern can be found in other proteins suggested to bind heparin for which no structural information is available. Hence we propose that the CPC clip motif, working like a staple, is a primary contributor to the attachment of heparin and other sulfated GAGs to heparin-binding proteins.
Impaired skin blood flow response to environmental heating in chronic heart failure (2005)

HF patients exhibit impaired thermoregulatory responses to heat exposure. Lower SkBF in HF, which defends blood pressure during heat exposure, also predisposes these subjects to heat intolerance.
Carbonyl Emissions in E-cigarette Aerosol: A Systematic Review and Methodological Considerations (2018)

Carbonyl emissions from tobacco cigarettes represent a substantial health risk contributing to smoking-related morbidity and mortality. As expected, this is an important research topic for tobacco harm reduction products, in an attempt to compare the relative risk of these products compared to tobacco cigarettes. In this study, a systematic review of the literature available on PubMed was performed analyzing the studies evaluating carbonyl emissions from e-cigarettes. A total of 32 studies were identified and presented. We identified a large diversity of methodologies, with substantial discrepancies in puffing patterns, aerosol collection and analytical methods as well as reported units of measurements. Such discrepancies make comparisons difficult, and in some cases the accuracy of the findings cannot be determined. Importantly, control for the generation of dry puffs was not performed in the vast majority of studies, particularly in studies using variable power devices, which could result in testing conditions and reported carbonyl levels that have no clinical relevance or context. Some studies have been replicated, verifying the presence of dry puff conditions. Whenever realistic use conditions were ensured, carbonyl emissions from e-cigarettes were substantially lower than tobacco cigarette smoke, while newer generation (bottom-coil, cotton wick) atomizers appeared to emit minimal levels of carbonyls with questionable clinical significance in terms of health risk. However, extremely high levels of carbonyl emissions were reported in some studies, and all these studies need to be replicated because of potentially important health implications.
Prognostic Value of Myeloperoxidase in Patients with Chest Pain (2003)

A single initial measurement of plasma myeloperoxidase independently predicts the early risk of myocardial infarction, as well as the risk of major adverse cardiac events in the ensuing 30-day and 6-month periods. Myeloperoxidase levels, in contrast to troponin T, creatine kinase MB isoform, and C-reactive protein levels, identified patients at risk for cardiac events in the absence of myocardial necrosis, highlighting its potential usefulness for risk stratification among patients who present with chest pain.

Development of a real-time fluorescence loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for rapid and quantitative detection of<i>Fusarium oxysporum</i>f. sp.<i>niveum</i>in soil (2013)

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (Fon) is one of the major limiting factors for watermelon production worldwide. Rapid and accurate detection of the causal pathogen is the cornerstone of integrated disease management. In this paper, a real-time fluorescence loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RealAmp) assay was developed for the rapid and quantitative detection of Fon in soil. Positive products were amplified only from Fon isolates and not from any other species or formae speciales of F. oxysporum tested, showing a high specificity of the primer sets. The detection limit of the RealAmp assay was 1.2 pg μL(-1) genomic DNA or 10(3) spores g(-1) of artificially inoculated soil, whereas real-time PCR could detect as low as 12 fg μL(-1) or 10(2) spores g(-1). The RealAmp assay was further applied to detect eight artificially inoculated and 85 field soil samples. No significant differences were found between the results tested by the RealAmp and real-time PCR assays. The RealAmp assay is a simple, rapid and effective technique for the quantitative detection and monitoring of Fon in soil under natural conditions.
Fast Indexes and Algorithms for Set Similarity Selection Queries (2008)

Data collections often have inconsistencies that arise due to a variety of reasons, and it is desirable to be able to identify and resolve them efficiently. Set similarity queries are commonly used in data cleaning for matching similar data. In this work we concentrate on set similarity selection queries: Given a query set, retrieve all sets in a collection with similarity greater than some threshold. Various set similarity measures have been proposed in the past for data cleaning purposes. In this work we concentrate on weighted similarity functions like TF/IDF, and introduce variants that are well suited for set similarity selections in a relational database context. These variants have special semantic properties that can be exploited to design very efficient index structures and algorithms for answering queries efficiently. We present modifications of existing technologies to work for set similarity selection queries. We also introduce three novel algorithms based on the Threshold Algorithm, that exploit the semantic properties of the new similarity measures to achieve the best performance in theory and practice.
Increased Levels of Soluble Adhesion Molecules in Type 2 (Non-Insulin Dependent) Diabetes mellitus Are Independent of Glycaemic Control (1994)

Patients with Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of thrombosis and the premature development of atherosclerosis. This may be related to damage to the endothelium (which may be the primary target tissue for the disease process) resulting from a loss of normal glycaemic metabolic control. Thus changes in endothelial cell function, such as modified release of soluble leukocyte and platelet adhesion molecules, may be important. Accordingly, E-selectin, von Willebrand factor (vWf), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) were measured in serum from 60 patients and 76 controls. Raised levels of vWf (p = 0.0002), E-selectin (p < 0.0001) and VCAM (p = 0.003) in patient's samples failed to correlate with glycaemic control as assessed by levels of fructosamine and glycated haemoglobin, or with 24 h urine albumin. Levels of ICAM were not increased in our patients. Levels of the two endothelial cell products, vWf and E-selectin, failed to correlate although E-selectin correlated with low density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.016). vWf correlated with VCAM (p < 0.001) and hypertension (p = 0.032). We conclude that levels of soluble adhesion molecules vWf, E-selectin and VCAM are raised in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The mechanisms for these changes appear to be independent of glycaemic control but may relate to concurrent hypertension and/or hypercholesterolaemia.
Efficient sound source localization method using region selection (2009)

Sound source localization systems in service robot applications estimate the direction of a human voice. Time difference information obtained from a few separate microphones is widely used for the estimation of the sound direction. The cross-correlation function is computed in order to calculate the time difference between the two signals. Inverse cosine function is used when the position of the maximum correlation value is converted to an angle. Because of the nonlinear characteristic of inverse cosine function, the accuracy of the computed angle is varied depending on the position of the specific sound source. In this paper, we propose an efficient sound source localization method using region selection. By the proposed approach, the region from 0deg to 180deg is divided into three regions and only one of the three regions is selected such that the selected region corresponds to the linear part of the inverse cosine function. Only the selected region is used for the sound source localization. Thus considerable amount of computation time is saved and the accuracy of the computed angle is improved. By simulations, it is shown that the estimation error by the proposed method is only 31% of that of the conventional approach.
Antibody to Varicella-Zoster Virus in Parturient Women and Their Offspring During the First Year of Life (1976)

A nursery outbreak of varicella is reported. Serum from 200 parturient women and 131 of their offspring were studied for antibody to varicella-zoster (V-Z) virus to analyze their immunity to varicella. Antibody titers were measured by the sensitive fluorescent antibody to membrane antigen (FAMA) technique. It was found that approximately 5% to 16% of women of child-bearing age in New York City are susceptible to varicella. Women from Puerto Rico or other subtropical and tropical areas are more likely to be susceptible (16%) than others (5%). Infants born to mothers with detectable V-Z FAMA titers almost always had detectable V-Z antibody at birth. In serial serum specimens obtained from 67 initially seropositive babies during the first year of life, it was found that by 6 months of age most infants were no longer passively protected against varicella. These observations may explain why varicella is not uncommonly observed in young babies.
EFFECT OF NANOFLUIDS AND MASS FLOW RATE OF AIR ON HEAT TRANSFER RATE IN AUTOMOBILE RADIATOR BY CFD ANALYSIS (2014)

Air has the largest influence on the overall heat transfer rate of automobile radiator. It is generally known that the velocity of the airflow through the radiator is a function of the vehicle speed and the "heat transferred by a radiator is a function of the airflow rate across the radiator" This paper presents a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling simulation of mass flow rate of air passing across the tubes and coolants in to the tubes of an automotive radiator. An introduction to Nanofluids is termed as the next generation heat transfer elements. The mass concentration of nano particles is proportional to the rate of heat transfer within critical limit. Air flow and coolants simulation is conducted using commercial software STAR CCM+. The CFD process starts with defining the water type geometric clean up and meshing using the Hyper mesh V11.0 software and then it is followed by the meshing which create the surface mesh as well as volume mesh accordingly. After meshing, the boundary conditions are defining before solving that represents flow fields of the simulation. The flow characteristics are then analyzed, compared and verified according to known physical situation and existing experimental data.
The cardiac hypertrophic responses to pathologic and physiologic loads. (1987)

Myocardial hypertrophy is an adaptive response of the heart to an imposed load. Two distinct patterns of hypertrophy are discussed, pathologic and physiologic, which differ in their mechanical and biochemical features. Evidence is presented that supports the following hypotheses: the nature of the hypertrophy reflects the nature of the stimulus; the function of the hypertrophied heart reflects its biochemistry; and the degree of responsiveness of the heart varies with species and with age.
CMV-specific T cells generated from naïve T cells recognize atypical epitopes and may be protective in vivo (2015)

Adoptive transfer of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T cells derived from adult seropositive donors can effectively restore antiviral immunity after transplantation. However, CMV-seronegative donors lack CMV-specific memory T cells, which restricts the availability of virus-specific T cells for immunoprophylaxis. We demonstrate the feasibility of deriving CMV-specific T cells from naïve cells for T cell therapy. Naïve T cells primed to recognize CMV were restricted to different, atypical epitopes than T cells derived from CMV-seropositive individuals; however, these two cell populations had similar avidities. CMV-seropositive individuals also had T cells recognizing these atypical epitopes, but these cells had a lower avidity than those derived from the seronegative subjects, which suggests that high-avidity T cells to these epitopes may be lost over time. Indeed, recipients of cord blood (CB) grafts who did not develop CMV were found by clonotypic analysis to have T cells recognizing atypical CMVpp65 epitopes. Therefore, we examined unmanipulated CB units and found that T cells with T cell receptors restricted by atypical epitopes were the most common, which may explain why these T cells expanded. When infused to recipients, naïve donor-derived virus-specific T cells that recognized atypical epitopes were associated with prolonged periods of CMV-free survival and complete remission. These data suggest that naïve-derived T cells from seronegative patients may be an additional source of cells for CMV immunoprophylaxis.
Highly Stretchable and Conductive Copper Nanowire Based Fibers with Hierarchical Structure for Wearable Heaters (2016)

Wearable heaters have been increasingly attracting researchers' great interest due to their efficient utility in maintaining warmth and in thermotherapy. Nowadays carbon nanomaterials and metallic nanowires tend to become the mainstream heating elements in wearable heaters considering their excellent electrical and mechanical properties. Though considerable progress has been made, there still exist challenging issues that need to be addressed in practical applications, including bad breathability and poor endurance to mechanical deformations. Here, we devise a copper nanowire based composite fiber with a unique hierarchical structure. This fiber possesses not only excellent heating performance, but also fantastic tolerance to mechanical impact, such as bending, twisting, and stretching. We further weave these fibers into a wearable heating fabric and realize smart personal heating management through an Android phone by integrating with a microcontroller unit. Two practical applications are demonstrated including a heating kneepad for articular thermotherapy and a heating coat on an infant model for maintaining warmth.
Microbiological Transformations 43. Epoxide Hydrolases as Tools for the Synthesis of Enantiopure α-Methylstyrene Oxides:  A New and Efficient Synthesis of (<i>S</i>)-Ibuprofen (1999)

Biohydrolysis of various α-methylstyrene oxide derivatives, differently substituted at the aromatic ring, was investigated using 10 epoxide hydrolases from different origins. Our results indicate that the enantioselectivity of these biohydrolyses strongly depends on the nature of the enzyme and of the substituent. Using some of these enzymes, this approach allows to prepare these epoxides in high optical purity. The potentiality to perform efficient preparative-scale resolution using such a biocatalyst was illustrated by the four-step synthesis of (<i>S</i>)-ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug and household pain killer, one of the top-ten drugs sold worldwide. Using a combined chemoenzymatic strategy, we were thus able to set up a four-step enantioconvergent procedure allowing for the synthesis of this compound in optically pure form and with a 47% overall yield, including the resolution process, due to a possible recycling of the formed diol via chemical racemisation.
Visible Blue Light Therapy: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities (2017)

To strengthen the use of blue light for therapeutic purposes, further in depth studies are clearly needed with regard to its underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms, and their translation into clinical applications.
