Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis Describing the Diagnostic Accuracy of History, Physical Examination, Imaging, and Lumbar Puncture With an Exploration of Test Thresholds (2016)

Less than one in 10 headache patients concerning for SAH are ultimately diagnosed with SAH in recent studies. While certain symptoms and signs increase or decrease the likelihood of SAH, no single characteristic is sufficient to rule in or rule out SAH. Within 6 hours of symptom onset, noncontrast cranial CT is highly accurate, while a negative CT beyond 6 hours substantially reduces the likelihood of SAH. LP appears to benefit relatively few patients within a narrow pretest probability range. With improvements in CT technology and an expanding body of evidence, test thresholds for LP may become more precise, obviating the need for a post-CT LP in more acute headache patients. Existing SAH clinical decision rules await external validation, but offer the potential to identify subsets most likely to benefit from post-CT LP, angiography, or no further testing.
On coding for delay - New approaches based on network coding in networks with large latency (2009)

In networks with large latency, feedback about received packets may lag considerably the transmission of the original packets, limiting the feedback's usefulness. Moreover, time duplex constraints may entail that receiving feedback may be costly. In this work, we consider tailoring feedback and coding jointly in such settings to reduce the expected delay for successful in order reception of packets. We find that, in certain applications, judicious choices provide results that are close to those that would be obtained with a full-duplex system.
Carbon Nanotube Hybrid Fabric – Manufacturing and Applications Including Structural and Wearables (2022)

Carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid fabric is formed by combining CNT materials (e.g., powder, tapes, or sheets) with other materials, such as carbon fibers (chopped, tape, or fabric form), metal and nonmetal nanoparticles, or polymers to form a composite fabric or laminate with improved properties compared to either component material alone. The CNT hybrid fabric provides a wider range of properties that can be obtained relative to pristine CNT fabric. Flexible CNT hybrid fabric can be used for clothing, as air and water filters, laminated composite material reinforcement, heat straps, electromagnetic shielding, inflatables, electrical conductors, and many other textile-based applications. This chapter gives an overview of methods to form various CNT hybrid materials and discusses several applications.

Benefits and Inputs From Lactic Acid Bacteria and Their Bacteriocins as Alternatives to Antibiotic Growth Promoters During Food-Animal Production (2019)

Resistance to antibiotics is escalating and threatening humans and animals worldwide. Different countries have legislated or promoted the ban of antibiotics as growth promoters in livestock and aquaculture to reduce this phenomenon. Therefore, to improve animal growth and reproduction performance and to control multiple bacterial infections, there is a potential to use probiotics as non-antibiotic growth promoters. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) offer various advantages as potential probiotics and can be considered as alternatives to antibiotics during food-animal production. LAB are safe microorganisms with abilities to produce different inhibitory compounds such as bacteriocins, organic acids as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, diacetyl, and carbon dioxide. LAB can inhibit harmful microorganisms with their arsenal, or through competitive exclusion mechanism based on competition for binding sites and nutrients. LAB endowed with specific enzymatic functions (amylase, protease…) can improve nutrients acquisition as well as animal immune system stimulation. This review aimed at underlining the benefits and inputs from LAB as potential alternatives to antibiotics in poultry, pigs, ruminants, and aquaculture production.

結霜時の平行平板上における熱伝達係数, 物質移動係数および霜層の熱伝導度などを強制対流下で測定した。実験は熱伝導度測定における比較法の原理によった。測定結果によると熱伝達係数は物質移動・霜層表面の凹凸による境界の乱れなどにより, McAdamsの式で示される値よりは大きく, また霜層の熱伝導度は霜層内部での水蒸気の拡散・および凝眺どを考えると, その熱移動機構は復雑で, 単に霜層の密度のみの関数であらわすことはできない。
Regeneration of waste rolling oil via inorganic flocculation-adsorption process (2019)

Waste rolling oil (WRO) can be regenerated by inorganic flocculation-adsorption. Ferric hydroxide (Fe(OH)3) colloid prepared by the double decomposition reaction of FeCl3 and NaOH was selected as an inorganic flocculant. Fly ash, activated carbon, clay and silica gel were used as adsorbents to treat the WRO. Effects of different treatment conditions on the performance of the recycled oil were investigated. Results indicated that the recycled oil achieved optimum quality under the following conditions: flocculation time, 6 min; temperature, 60 °C; adsorption time, 20 min; and mass ratios of FeCl3-to-WRO, NaOH-to-FeCl3 and fly ash-to-WRO of 0.10, 3 and 0.03, respectively. NaOH combined with Fe(OH)3 effectively removed most macromolecular impurities, organic acids, lipids, and alcohols. Fly ash exerted the best adsorption rate and adsorption effect. In addition, physicochemical properties of the recycled oils were close to those of fresh oil.
Pseudokinase NRP1 facilitates endocytosis of transferrin in the African trypanosome (2022)

Trypanosoma brucei causes human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and nagana in cattle. During infection of a vertebrate, endocytosis of host transferrin (Tf) is important for viability of the parasite. The majority of proteins involved in trypanosome endocytosis of Tf are unknown. Here we identify pseudokinase NRP1 (Tb427tmp.160.4770) as a regulator of Tf endocytosis. Genetic knockdown of NRP1 inhibited endocytosis of Tf without blocking uptake of bovine serum albumin. Binding of Tf to the flagellar pocket was not affected by knockdown of NRP1. However the quantity of Tf per endosome dropped significantly, consistent with NRP1 promoting robust capture and/or retention of Tf in vesicles. NRP1 is involved in motility of Tf-laden vesicles since distances between endosomes and the kinetoplast were reduced after knockdown of the gene. In search of possible mediators of NRP1 modulation of Tf endocytosis, the gene was knocked down and the phosphoproteome analyzed. Phosphorylation of protein kinases forkhead, NEK6, and MAPK10 was altered, in addition to EpsinR, synaptobrevin and other vesicle-associated proteins predicted to be involved in endocytosis. These candidate proteins may link NRP1 functionally either to protein kinases or to vesicle-associated proteins.
Permanent-Magnet Helicon Discharge Array (2011)

Industrial applications of plasmas often require uniform coverage of large areas, such as in plasma coatings, display panels, and semiconductor wafers. A single source would have to be very large, but an array of small sources can be much more compact and yet cover an arbitrarily large area. Such sources can be inductively coupled plasmas (ICPs) which are powered by radio-frequency generators. Helicon-wave sources have been found to create higher plasma densities than ICPs at the same power, but these require a dc magnetic field, which normally would entail large and heavy electromagnets and their dc power supplies. Annular permanent magnets can produce helicon plasmas if used in the innovative way described here. An eight-tube array of such sources has been built and tested.
Wave Slamming Model Test Data and Analysis for a Spar Hull Design (2015)

This paper presents wave slamming loads on the Aasta Hansteen Spar from model test data, and it discusses analysis methodologies for extreme loads in order to derive slamming design pressures for the local and global design of the Spar hull. A 3×3 array of slamming load transducer panels was employed to measure the horizontal wave impact loads for the 100-year and 10,000-year storms at the Aasta Hansteen field in the Norwegian Sea. The wave height and period for these storms were varied to investigate wave steepness effects on slamming loads. Three-hour simulations and as many as 20 realizations per sea state were used to capture the statistics for the slamming loads. Gumbel distribution was used to derive extreme pressures for the local and global design at the measured direction by using various panel combinations. The short term target percentiles used in the Gumbel distribution were determined by long term analysis. The detailed long term analysis results are the subject of another paper [1]. The main objective of this study is to establish the extreme pressure distribution along the length of the Spar above the mean water level (MWL). The linear correlation was found between the slamming pressure coefficient and incident wave steepness and it was used to obtain the extreme pressure profile for other wave directions around the Spar hull. The methodology presented in this paper can also be applied to slamming pressure of other platforms/floaters.

High-Rate, Gas-Phase Growth of MoS 2 Nested Inorganic Fullerenes and Nanotubes (1995)

The gas-phase reaction between MoO3-x and H(2)S in a reducing atmosphere at elevated temperatures (800 degrees to 950 degrees C) has been used to synthesize large quantities of an almost pure nested inorganic fullerene (IF) phase of MoS(2). A uniform IF phase with a relatively narrow size distribution was obtained. The synthesis of IFs appears to require, in addition to careful control over the growth conditions, a specific turbulent flow regime. The x-ray spectra of the different samples show that, as the average size of the IF decreases, the van der Waals gap along the c axis increases, largely because of the strain involved in folding of the lamella. Large quantities of quite uniform nanotubes were obtained under modified preparation conditions.
Concepts in configuration management systems (1991)

There has been considerable progress concerning support for software configuration management (CM) in environments and tools. This paper's intent is to highlight the user concepts provided by existing CM systems. These are shown as a spectrum. In the s~ctrum, concepts are seen as extensions to, or generalizations of, other concepts. There is difficulty asscxiated with extracting concepts from CM systems since there is no commonality in terminology concerning CM functionality throughout the sofhvare engineering community and many CM systems implement variations on concepts. As a result, each concept presented is described as it exists in one particular CM system. A part of highlighting the concepts involves discussing the scope of issues important to users of CM systems. No single CM system provides all the functionality required by the different kinds of users of CM systems. Rather, each CM system addresses some part of the spectrum of concepts. To complete the report, the CM capabilities of the systems used as examples are briefly described.
Trimethylpsoralen induces small deletion mutations inCaenorhabditis elegans. (1994)

To examine the mutagenic spectrum of 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen (TMP) in Caenorhabditis elegans, we isolated mutations in the unc-22 and pal-1 genes following TMP mutagenesis and analyzed them for restriction fragment length polymorphisms by Southern blot. Eleven of 21 unc-22 mutations exhibited restriction fragment length polymorphisms, 8 of which were deletions of between 0.10 and 15 kb in length. Both of two pal-1 mutations were also small deletions within this size range. Comparison of our results with previous studies on mutagenesis by gamma-rays and x-rays suggests that the mutagenic spectrum of TMP may be similar. TMP should be useful in generating mutations that cause complete loss of function of single genes and that are likely to result in allele-specific DNA polymorphisms.

Comparison of nucleic acid and protein immunization for induction of antibodies specific for HIV-1 gp120 (1997)

We have compared the antibody response to HIV-1 gp120 type LAI in mice immunized with either a gp120 expression plasmid or with baculovirus-derived recombinant gp120 (rgp120) formulated with Freund's complete adjuvant. TiterMax, Alum, Ribi R-700, AF-A or QuilA. DNA immunization resulted in variable levels of antibody, with endpoint titres ranging from 10(4) to 10(5), whereas mice immunized with rgp 120 mixed with Ribi R-700, AF-A or QuilA produced antibody levels with endpoint titres > 10(5). Both types of immunization failed to elicit antibodies able to recognize denatured rgp120. The V3 region was immunogenic in animals immunized with nucleic acid, whereas only a few animals immunized with recombinant protein produced antibodies specific for V3 or other linear epitopes, irrespective of the adjuvant used. These data suggest that the immunogenicity of gp120 is dependent upon the mode of antigen delivery, and that in vivo expressed gp120 following nucleic acid immunization elicits, at least with respect to V3, an antibody response which more closely reflects that seen following natural infection in man.

Design and Development of a Robotic Bioreactor for In Vitro Tissue Engineering (2021)

In this study, a novel robotic bioreactor is presented with capabilities of closed-loop control of force and displacement applied to a tissue scaffold and tissue scaffold stiffness calculation. These characteristics bring the potential of a robotic bioreactor that can optimize the mechanical properties of tissue constructs in order for them to match those of native tissues. Custom position and force control signals are designed to maintain a steady tensioning of the tissue scaffold while the latter one’s mechanical properties evolve in time. We propose a simple model to support the hypothesis that the stiffness of a cell-seeded scaffold increases over time, and thus force control signals need to be adjusted accordingly. The robotic bioreactor is able to measure the stiffness of a scaffold sample relatively accurately, with an average standard deviation of 0.2N/mm. The combination of accurate stiffness measurements and a closed-loop control system equips the robotic bioreactor with the fundamental requirements to achieve stiffness based force control in future in vitro experiments, and thus to a tissue-scaffold responsive technology for advanced tissue engineering.
Visual Detection of Sudan Dyes Based on the Plasmon Resonance Light Scattering Signals of Silver Nanoparticles (2006)

A visual light scattering detection method of Sudan dyes is reported in food products based on the formation of silver nanoparticles (NPs) . Sudan dyes including I, II, III and IV have reducibility due to the nitrogen-nitrogen double bond and phenol group in their molecular structure, and a redox reaction could occur with AgNO3. Owing to the formation of silver NPs as a result of the redox reaction, color changes could be observed by eye from the red of Sudan to the brown of silver NPs, resulting in strong plasmon resonance light scattering (PRLS) signals characterized at 452 nm, which could be measured using a common spectrofluorometer. It was found that the PRLS intensities were proportional to the dye concentrations over the range of 0.2-2.4 microM Sudan I, 0.1-2.4 microM Sudan II, 0.1-2.4 microM Sudan III, and 0.2-3.0 microM Sudan IV, with the corresponding limits of determination (3 sigma) of 3.2, 3.0, 3.2, and 2.9 nM, respectively. Using hot chili as a model sample, detection could be made with the recovery of 90.8-103.3% and RSD of 4.0-4.9%, and the results are identical with that of a liquid chromatographic method approved by the European Commission. To make the PRLS method much more practical, we could visually detect the quantity of Sudan dyes based on the PRLS signals using simple devices such as a portable laser pointer (653 nm) and a light emitting diode (458 nm). Mechanism investigations show that the functional group of Sudan oxidized by AgNO3 is the phenol group, not the nitrogen-nitrogen double bond.
Differential Integrin Expression Facilitates Isolation of Human Fetal Pancreatic Epithelial Cells (1994)

We have studied the expression of the beta 1 family of integrins in fetal and adult human pancreas. Immunohistochemical staining with a monoclonal anti-beta 1 antibody revealed that the epithelial cells of the human fetal pancreas express high amounts of beta 1 integrin, while the pancreatic stromal cells express substantially lower amounts. Islets of Langerhans from human adult pancreas also expressed high amounts of beta 1 integrin. Taking advantage of the extremely high affinity binding between the invasin protein of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and many beta 1 integrins, we have been able to isolate highly enriched populations of fetal pancreatic epithelial cells. Epithelial-enriched cell populations retain the ability to differentiate into mature endocrine cells following transplantation into nude mice.
Properties of cellophane films coated with chitosan. (1992)

Coating of chitosan on cellophane was studied with the aim of giving new functional properties to cellophane film. The transparency and the water vapor transmission rate of cellophane were not lowered by the chitosan coating on cellophane. The adhesive strength between cellophane and chitosan layers was very high, and increased with the chitosan concentration of the coating layer at the alkali-treatment stage. The adhesive strength of 170 kgf/cm2 was obtained when the chitosan concentration of the coating layer was 90%. Chitosan coating was not so effective in improving tensile and tearing strengths of cellophane. The chitosan layer readily absorbed silver ions, and the coating film bearing silver had antibacterial action against four pathogenic bacteria, namely Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Vibno parahaemolyticus, and Staphylococcus aureus. Silver of 1500 ppm in the coating film was sufficient to prevent the propagation of the bacteria, while the coating film without silver did not have the discernible antibacterial action.
Perovskite modified catalysts with improved coke resistance for steam reforming of glycerol to renewable hydrogen fuel (2023)

Abstract Catalytic steam reforming of renewable feedstock to renewable energy or chemicals always goes with intense coking activities that produce carbonaceous products leading to low performance and eventual catalyst deactivation. Supported metal catalyst such as Ni/Al 2 O 3 is known to catalysed gasification and decomposition of biomass feedstock largely for renewable fuel production with promising results. Catalyst deactivation from high carbon deposition, agglomeration and phase transformations resulting to rapid deactivation are some of the issues identified with the use of the catalyst. In this work, improvement on the coke resistance and catalytic properties of Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalyst is sought via the use of a thermally stable and coke‐resistant perovskite La 0.75 Sr 0.25 Cr 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 3‐δ (LSCM) as catalyst promoter/modifier and involving Zirconia‐doped Ceria (Ce‐Zr) as alternative support in steam reforming of pure and by‐product glycerol. The stabilizing influence of the LSCM on the Ni catalyst has improved stability against agents of deactivation with a consequent significant improvement of catalytic activity of Ni/Al 2 O 3 in H 2 production and robust suppression of carbon deposition. Particularly, the synergy between the LSCM promoter and alternative Ce 0.75 Zr 0.25 O 2 support enhanced the basic and redox properties known for Ce 0.75 Zr 0.25 O 2 support in contrast to the week acid centres in γ‐Al 2 O 3 support which further improved nickel stability, catalyst–support interaction with a resultant high catalytic activity and robust coke suppression as a result of enhanced oxygen mobility. There is correlation between the product distribution, nature of coke deposited and reforming temperature as well as type of support and structural modification. Hence, integration of a robust perovskite material as a catalyst promoter and choice of support could be tailored in design and development of robust catalyst systems to improve the performance of supported metal catalysts, particularly the suppression of carbon deposition for hydrocarbon and biomass conversion to renewable fuel or chemicals.
