Quarter-Mode Cavity Filters in Substrate Integrated Waveguide Technology (2016)

This paper presents a systematic investigation of quarter-mode filters in substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. This class of filters is particularly convenient because it combines the features of SIW structures with the improvement of size reduction. After a thorough analysis of the quarter-mode SIW cavity, this paper presents different coupling mechanisms and feeding techniques for the design of quarter-mode SIW filters: side coupling and corner coupling are considered, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of the two techniques. Novel filter topologies are introduced, with the design and experimental verification of simple filters and their extension to higher order filter structures. Techniques to introduce transmission zeros are described and demonstrated. Moreover, the combination of quarter-mode SIW cavities and coplanar waveguide resonators leads to increasing the filter order to higher order and allows the implementation of quasi-elliptic filters.
Spray Drying of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis C2 and Cellular Injury (1995)

ABSTRACT Starter cultures were spray‐dried at five outlet‐air temperatures using four concentrations of cells in the feed solution. Powders made using the lowest outlet‐air temperature and the highest cell concentration had the highest viability. Storage at 4°C for 3 mo caused a 34–86% loss of viability. Cellular injury resulted from dehydration, and exposure to high temperatures in the atomizer and during droplet drying. Lactic acid production was similar for frozen, freeze‐dried and spray‐dried cultures made from a single cell paste. The lag time before lactic acid production was apparently an inherent characteristic of each specific cell paste.
Bioelastic Materials and the ΔTt-Mechanism in Drug Delivery (1994)

Bioelastic matrices are capable of effecting drug release by means of diffusion, degradation, transduction or a designed combination of any of the three. With proper design the transductional release can utilize free energy inputs including changes in the intensive variables of mechanical force, temperature, pressure, chemical potential, electrochemical potential and electromagnetic radiation. In the present report, the feasibility of chemical clocks to introduce both degradational and transductional release is demonstrated, and diffusional release from a limiting case of a thin disc of the simplest biocompatible matrix is described using the drug biebrich scarlet which has wound repair efficacy. A local release of 50 to 15 nanomoles/day of biebrich scarlet could be sustained for almost a week. This biocompatible matrix, X20-poly(GVGVP), has been found not to become coated with a fibrous capsule even after months of implantation within the peritoneal cavity and under the conjunctiva of the eye. It is suggested that larger constructs utilizing chemical clocks could result in sustained release of the order of 1 µmole per day for much of a year.
An Approach for Multi Label Image Classification Using Single Label Convolutional Neural Network (2018)

Single label image classification has been promisingly demonstrated using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). However, how this CNN will fit for multi-label images is still difficult to solve. It is mainly difficult due to lack of multi-label training image data and high complexity of latent obj ect layouts. This paper proposes an approach for classifying multi-label image by a trained single label classifier using CNN with objectness measure and selective search. We have taken two established image segmentation techniques for segmenting a multi-label image into some segmented images. Then we have forwarded the images to our trained CNN and predicted the labels of the segmented images by generalizing the result. Our single-label image classifier gives 87% accuracy on CIFAR-10 dataset. Using objectness measure with CNN gives us 51 % accuracy on a multi-label dataset and gives up to 57% accuracy using selective search both considering top-4 labels that is significantly good for a simple approach rather than a complex approach for multi-label classification using CNN.
Intra-articular and Muscle Symptoms and Subjective Relief During TMJ Internal Derangement Treatment with Maxillary Anterior Repositioning Splint or SVED and MORA Splints: A Comparison with Untreated Control Subjects (2006)

Discomfort associated with wearing an intraoral splint represents a problem in the management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement. This study evaluated whether the use of a mandibular splint during the day and a maxillary splint at night could be more comfortable and therefore as efficacious in internal derangement treatment as a maxillary splint (AR splint). Fifty (50) patients (average age 28.8; range 14-63) with confirmed internal derangement in at least one TMJ were divided into three groups: 20 patients treated with AR splint (Group I); 20 patients treated with a SVED (Sagittal Vertical Extrusion Device) and a MORA (Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Splint) (Group II); and 10 patients who underwent no treatment (Control Group). Joint noise, pain intensity and its character (as constant or chewing/biting pain), muscular pain, and subjective relief were evaluated monthly before treatment began (T0) and for six months thereafter. The following results were found: 1. Subjects in Group I and Group II displayed a significant decrease in joint pain (p<0.001), constant pain (p<0.001), chewing/biting pain (p<0.001), joint noise and muscle pain from the beginning through the sixth month follow-ups; 2. At T1 and T2, subjects in Group II reported significantly lower discomfort associated with the devices than subjects in Group I. The use of two splints seems to be as efficacious as the use of an AR maxillary splint; however an AR splint is considered more comfortable by patients, especially during the first months of therapy.
[O4–02–03]: MAPPING THE TAUOPATHY‐SPECIFIC MODIFICATION LANDSCAPE ON TAU (2017)

Immunotherapy approaches targeting tau hold great promise for arresting or possibly reversing/ameliorating tauopathies. However, the exact nature of pathological tau has not been thoroughly defined despite the fact that tau is known to carry numerous post-translational modifications. Our objective was to characterize pathological tau in human diseased tissue and understand the differences of post-translationally modified tau in health and disease. We developed a novel quantitative protein characterization platform that provides unprecedented accuracy for the modification pattern on tau and thus furthering the understanding the chemistry of tau in the context of human pathology. This platform features a combination of mass spectrometric analysis and computational interpretation of the acquired data. The application of the platform to tau, named FLEXITau, enabled the comprehensive, unbiased, robust and highly sensitive identification and quantification of post-translational modifications of tau in in the context of 4 different tauopathies. Brain tissue specimens from more than 125 well-characterized dementia patients diagnosed with various tauopathies including Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Corticobasal Dementia and Pick's Disease as well as age-matched controls were analyzed using FLEXITau. The study discovered and quantified 74 post-translational modifications on Tau, over 60% of which have not previously been described as occurring in vivo on human Tau. Furthermore, this analysis identified tauopathy specific modification patterns that i) allow for the objective differentiation of the various tauopathies, and ii) provides insight into tauopathy specific target candidates for immunotherapies. The results of this study clearly demonstrate distinct profiles of post-translational modifications on Tau for each of these tauopathies relative to Tau in the control group. FLEXITau enables the identification of modifications distinct to each disease that will be useful for patient stratification and enables the identification of therapeutic epitopes that should be targeted in each disease.
Coupled Mooring Analysis and Large Scale Model Tests on a Deepwater Calm Buoy in Mild Wave Conditions (2002)

This paper describes a series of model tests aimed at gaining insight in the tension variations in the export risers and mooring lines of a CALM buoy. The test result were therefore not only analysed carefully, but were also used as input and to validate a numerical tool that computes the coupled motions of the buoy and its mooring system. The tests were carried out at a model scale of 1 to 20. Captive tests in regular and irregular waves were carried out to investigate non-linearities in the wave forces on the buoy for example from the presence of the skirt. Decay tests were carried out to determine the damping of the buoy’s motions and to obtain the natural periods. Finally, tests in irregular waves were carried out. The dynamics of the mooring system and the resulting damping have a significant effect on the buoy’s motions. A numerical tool has been developed that combines the wave-frequency buoy motions with the dynamical behaviour of the mooring system. The motions of the buoy are computed with a linearised equation of motion. The non-linear motions of the mooring system are computed simultaneously and interact with the buoy’s motions. In this paper, a comparison is shown between the measurements and the simulations. Firstly, the wave forces obtained with a linear diffraction computation with a simplified skirt are compared with the measured wave forces. Secondly, the numerical modelling of the mooring system is checked by comparing line tensions when the buoy moves with the motion as measured in an irregular wave test. Thirdly, the decay tests are simulated to investigate the correctness of the applied viscous damping values. Finally, simulations of a test in irregular waves are shown to validate the entire integrated concept. The results show that: 1. The wave-exciting surge and heave forces can be predicted well with linear diffraction theory. However, differences between the measured and computed pitch moment are found, caused by a simplified modelling of the skirt and the shortcomings of the diffraction model. 2. To predict the tension variations in the mooring lines and risers (and estimate fatigue) it is essential that mooring line dynamics are taken into account. 3. The heave motions of the buoy are predicted well. 4. The surge motions of the buoy are predicted reasonably well. 5. The pitch motions are wrongly predicted.
Zum Mechanismus der Reduktion Schiffscher Basen mit aktiviertem Aluminium. 3. Mitt. über Cytostatica (1965)

Abstract Bei der Reduktion Schiffscher Basen mit aktiviertem Aluminium lassen sich die Ausbeuten an monomeren und dimeren Reduktionsprodukten durch Zugabe unterschiedlicher Alkoholmengen beliebig variieren. Kleine Alkoholmengen begünstigen die Bildung der dimeren, große hingegen die der monomeren Reduktionsprodukte.
Correlations of elastic modulus, cohesive energy density and heat capacity jump of glassy polymers (1987)

Abstract The elastic modulus of glassy polymers can be calculated from a measurable thermal property of polymers. The correlation of heat capacity jump data with molar modulus of 13 polymers indicated that the calculation of molar modulus from heat capacity jump energy for other glassy polymers is possible.
Aberrant Maturation of the Uncinate Fasciculus Follows Exposure to Unpredictable Patterns of Maternal Signals (2020)

Across species, unpredictable patterns of maternal behavior are emerging as novel predictors of aberrant cognitive and emotional outcomes later in life. In animal models, exposure to unpredictable patterns of maternal behavior alters brain circuit maturation and cognitive and emotional outcomes. However, whether exposure to such signals in humans alters the development of brain pathways is unknown. In mother-child dyads, we tested the hypothesis that exposure to more unpredictable maternal signals in infancy is associated with aberrant maturation of corticolimbic pathways. We focused on the uncinate fasciculus, the primary fiber bundle connecting the amygdala to the orbitofrontal cortex and a key component of the medial temporal lobe-prefrontal cortex circuit. Infant exposure to unpredictable maternal sensory signals was assessed at 6 and 12 months. Using high angular resolution diffusion imaging, we quantified the integrity of the uncinate fasciculus using generalized fractional anisotropy (GFA). Higher maternal unpredictability during infancy presaged greater uncinate fasciculus GFA in children 9-11 years of age (<i>n</i> = 69, 29 female). In contrast to the uncinate, GFA of a second corticolimbic projection, the hippocampal cingulum, was not associated with maternal unpredictability. Addressing the overall functional significance of the uncinate and cingulum relationships, we found that the resulting imbalance of medial temporal lobe-prefrontal cortex connectivity partially mediated the association between unpredictable maternal sensory signals and impaired episodic memory function. These results suggest that unbalanced maturation of corticolimbic circuits is a mechanism by which early unpredictable sensory signals may impact cognition later in life.<b>SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT</b> Our prior work across species demonstrated that unpredictable patterns of maternal care are associated with compromised memory function. However, the neurobiological mechanisms by which this occurs in humans remain unknown. Here, we identify an association of exposure to unpredictable patterns of maternal sensory signals with the integrity of corticolimbic circuits involved in emotion and cognition using state-of-the-art diffusion imaging techniques and analyses. We find that exposure to early unpredictability is associated with higher integrity of the uncinate fasciculus with no effect on a second corticolimbic pathway, the cingulum. The resulting imbalance of corticolimbic circuit development is a novel mediator of the association between unpredictable patterns of maternal care and poorer episodic memory.
CrowdPose: Efficient Crowded Scenes Pose Estimation and A New Benchmark (2018)

Multi-person pose estimation is fundamental to many computer vision tasks and has made significant progress in recent years. However, few previous methods explored the problem of pose estimation in crowded scenes while it remains challenging and inevitable in many scenarios. Moreover, current benchmarks cannot provide an appropriate evaluation for such cases. In this paper, we propose a novel and efficient method to tackle the problem of pose estimation in the crowd and a new dataset to better evaluate algorithms. Our model consists of two key components: joint-candidate single person pose estimation (SPPE) and global maximum joints association. With multi-peak prediction for each joint and global association using graph model, our method is robust to inevitable interference in crowded scenes and very efficient in inference. The proposed method surpasses the state-of-the-art methods on CrowdPose dataset by 5.2 mAP and results on MSCOCO dataset demonstrate the generalization ability of our method. Source code and dataset will be made publicly available.
Calculated pressure-broadened linewidths of H/sub 2/S (1976)

Self-broadened and foreign-gas (N/sub 2/ and O/sub 2/) broadened linewidths of H/sub 2/S at 300/sup 0/K for a wide range of quantum numbers J and K/sub a/, for both type A and type B bands, have been calculated using the Anderson-Tsao-Curnutte theory of line broadening. In the case of H/sub 2/S-H/sub 2/S collisions, dipole-dipole, dipole-quadrupole, quadrupole-dipole, and quadrupole-quadrupole interactions have been included. For H/sub 2/S-N/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/S-O/sub 2/ collisions, dipole-quadrupole and quadrupole-quadrupole interactions were taken into account. Computed values for self-broadened linewidths are in good agreement with the experimental results of Helminger and De Lucia. Air-broadened linewidths of H/sub 2/S at 200/sup 0/K have also been calculated, so that the temperature dependence can be established.
Catalytic CVD Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes: Towards High Yield and Low Temperature Growth (2010)

The catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) is currently the most flexible and economically attractive method for the growth of carbon nanotubes. Although its principle is simple, the precisely controlled growth of carbon nanotubes remains very complex because many different parameters influence the growth process. In this article, we review our recent results obtained on the synthesis of carbon nanotubes via CCVD. We discuss the role of the catalyst and the catalyst support. Our recent results obtained from the water assisted growth and the equimolar C₂H₂-CO₂ reaction are also discussed. Both procedures lead to significantly enhanced carbon nanotube growth. In particular, the latter allows growing carbon nanotubes on diverse substrate materials at low temperatures.
Health Advice for International Travel (1988)

Travel to the developing world by U.S. citizens has been increasing. Exposure to illnesses such as travelers' diarrhea, malaria, and vaccine-preventable diseases challenges the internist to provide pre-travel advice. Each traveler's itinerary, duration of stay and medical history, including previous immunizations, should be reviewed. Immunizations that may be required by individual countries, such as yellow fever and cholera, may then be administered. Immunizations for diseases such as hepatitis, typhoid fever, and meningococcal disease can be given according to the type of exposure within each country. Restricting a traveler's diet to cooked foods and purified, carbonated, or heated beverages may prevent travelers' diarrhea and other enteric infections. Most travelers will want to carry medications to treat diarrhea promptly. Malaria is prevented by avoiding mosquitos, taking safe and appropriate anti-malarials and treating malaria if it occurs. Preparation before travel may prevent medical complications.
Review of scattering and extinction cross-sections, damping factors, and resonance frequencies of a spherical gas bubble (2011)

Perhaps the most familiar concepts when discussing acoustic scattering by bubbles are the resonance frequency for bubble pulsation, the bubbles' damping, and their scattering and extinction cross-sections, all of which are used routinely in oceanography, sonochemistry, and biomedicine. The apparent simplicity of these concepts is illusory: there exist multiple, sometimes contradictory definitions for their components. This paper reviews expressions and definitions in the literature for acoustical cross-sections, resonance frequencies, and damping factors of a spherically pulsating gas bubble in an infinite liquid medium, deriving two expressions for "resonance frequency" that are compared and reconciled with two others from the reviewed literature. In order to prevent errors, care is needed by researchers when combining results from different publications that might have used internally correct but mutually inconsistent definitions. Expressions are presented for acoustical cross-sections associated with forced pulsations damped by liquid shear and (oft-neglected) bulk or dilatational viscosities, gas thermal diffusivity, and acoustic re-radiation. The concept of a dimensionless "damping coefficient" is unsuitable for radiation damping because different cross-sections would require different functional forms for this parameter. Instead, terms based on the ratio of bubble radius to acoustic wavelength are included explicitly in the cross-sections where needed.
Porosity in Rubber, a Review (1996)

Abstract An overview of the causes and effects of porosity in rubber has been presented. The formation of porosity in rubber can be attributed to the heterogeneous nucleation and diffusion controlled bubble growth. The process proceeds simultaneously with vulcanization, so bubble formation in viscous fluids and in crosslinked rubber has been used to elucidate the mechanism. Porosity is caused by the supersaturation of rubber with volatiles and by insufficient external pressure during vulcanization. Some of the sources of these volatiles have been described. The effects of compounding, mixing and processing on porosity have been covered, and various methods of detecting and preventing porosity have been reviewed. Finally, the effects of porosity on the mechanical properties of rubber have been described.
The unusual solid state structure of heroin hydrochloride monohydrate and its selective detection using NQR spectroscopy (2004)

Heroin hydrochloride monohydrate, the normal crystalline form of this material, has been studied by X-ray crystallography, nuclear quadrupole resonance spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. The X-ray data at 120 K could be refined in either of the two space groups P41 or P41212 with the latter higher symmetry form being the more likely, but for the NQR spectra at 4.2 K the doublet structure suggests that a slight symmetry breaking has ocurrred, which lowers the symmetry to P41. The crystals have the unusual unit cell dimensions of a = b = 7.5335(2) Å, c = 71.976(4) Å, with Z = 8 (and Z′ = 2 in P41); the molecules are arranged on a four-fold helix of pitch 72.0 Å with its axis parallel to the c axis, requiring a total of eight molecules in order to complete one turn. As in the free base the nitrogen ring system of the N-protonated heroin molecule has a chair conformation; in P41 the N–H hydrogen is bonded to a Cl− with N–H⋯Cl distances of 3.056(15) and 3.095(14) Å and each Cl− ion is also hydrogen bonded to two water molecules. 14N and 35Cl quadrupole resonance frequencies have been observed in both the pure material and material from a drugs seizure by two double resonance techniques; in cross-relaxation spectra, a broad 35,37Cl resonance is found near 1.95 MHz at room temperature and an analysis of the line shape predicts an average quadrupole coupling constant for the two ions of 3.817 MHz and an asymmetry parameter of 0.4. In double resonance by level crossing experiments, 14N doublets are observed near 0.965 and 1.035 MHz at 4.2 K, predicting a mean quadrupole coupling constant of 1.333 MHz and an asymmetry parameter of 0.158. A doublet 35Cl signal is also observed at 1.965 MHz. The doublet patterns observed are consistent with a P41 space group at 4.2 K. The similarity of the NQR data from the pure sample and the seizure confirms that the illicit sample is of the helical monohydrate, suggesting that these methods can be used to detect the narcotic in real situations. Theoretical calculations with Gaussian at the HF/6-31+G* level for two molecules at the configurations they adopt in the solid state are in reasonable agreement with these conclusions for 14N and one of the 35Cl ions.
[Remy Willemet (1735-1807), naturalist, professor of natural history and chairman of the botanical garden of Nancy]. (2015)

Rémy Willemet is above all a local botanist whose first work was selected by the academy of Nancy in 1766. His notoriety began when another work with Jean-François Coste was chosen by the academy of Lyon ten years later. He published then in many papers and was elected in numerous academies and scientific societies. During the Revolution, he was a professor of the Ecole centrale de la Meurthe and of the Société de santé, and he became the chairman of the botanical garden. Willemet wrote some botanical books. Today, what is the memory of his researchs and papers? Fairly few things because he never undertook botanical travels in order to discover and compare pharmaceutical plants. However, Willemetia was the name used to denominate some species and honour his family. His name was also engraved on the wall of some university buidings and it was chosen some years ago to entitle a botanical paper in Lorraine.
