Conductivity Enhancement and Thermal Properties of AgI-MO[sub 2] (M=Zr, Si) Composites Using Sol-Gel Derived Aerogels (2002)

and composites were prepared using sol-gel derived aerogels. The conductivity at room temperature showed a maximum for the composition of or and was for the composite using aerogels and for the composite using aerogels. The diffusion of AgI into the micropores of the aerogel was observed for the system, suggesting that the diffusion caused a decrease of the crystallinity of AgI and the formation of a high conductive phase of AgI at the interface. In the -containing system, however, the diffusion was not observed and, hence, the conductivity was an order of magnitude lower than that of the -based system. © 2002 The Electrochemical Society.

Two common polymorphisms in the APO A‐IV coding gene: Their evolution and linkage disequilibrium (1992)

Human apolipoprotein A-IV (APO A-IV) exhibits a common protein polymorphism detectable by isoelectric focusing (IEF) due to a single base substitution at codon 360 which replaces the frequently occurring glutamine residue (allele 1) with histidine (allele 2). Recently, sequence analysis of the APO A-IV coding region has revealed another common nucleotide substitution at codon 347 which converts the commonly present threonine residue (allele A) into serine (allele T). In order to investigate the extent of genetic variation at codon 347, we screened DNA samples from 192 unrelated individuals using a polymerase chain reaction based assay. The frequencies of the two alleles, A-IV*A and A-IV*T, were 0.81 and 0.19, respectively, with average heterozygosity 0.31. Genetic screening of the corresponding 192 plasma samples by IEF gave frequencies of 0.922 and 0.078 for the A-IV*1 and A-IV*2 alleles, respectively, at codon 360 with average heterozygosity 0.14. Genotype data at the two polymorphic sites were used to assign unequivocal haplotypes to all the 384 chromosomes. Of the expected four haplotypes (A1, T1, A2, and T2) only three were observed and their frequencies were 0.732 for A1, 0.190 for T1 and 0.078 for A2, with average heterozygosity 0.42. Although our data indicate significant linkage disequilibrium between the two sites (chi 21 = 7.65, P < 0.006, standardized disequilibrium constant phi = -0.14) the degree of nonrandom association varied between alleles at the two sites. Based upon allele frequency data and variable linkage disequilibrium between alleles, we propose that the A2 and T1 haplotypes may have evolved from the parental A1 haplotype by two independent mutations.
One-Step Chemical Vapor Growth of Ge/SiCxNy Nanocables (2007)

Single-step synthesis of one-dimensional Ge/SiCxNy core-shell nanocables was achieved by chemical vapor deposition of the molecular precursor [Ge{N(SiMe3)2}2]. Single crystalline Ge nanowires (diameter approximately 60 nm) embedded in uniform SiCxNy shells were obtained in high yields, whereby the growth process was not influenced by the nature of substrates. The shell material exhibited high oxidation and chemical resistance at elevated temperatures (up to 250 degrees C) resulting in the preservation of size-dependent semiconductor properties of germanium nanowires, such as intact transport of charge carriers and reduction of energy consumption, when compared to pure Ge nanowires.

Circulating neutrophils levels are a predictor of pneumonia risk in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2019)

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have excess risk of developing pneumonia; however, no definitive biomarkers of risk have been established. We hypothesized that blood neutrophils would help predict pneumonia risk in COPD. A meta-analysis of randomized, double-blind clinical trials of COPD patients meeting the following criteria were selected from the GlaxoSmithKline trial registry: ≥1 inhaled corticosteroid-containing (ICS) arm (fluticasone propionate/salmeterol or fluticasone furoate/vilanterol), a control arm (non-ICS), pre-randomization blood neutrophil counts, ≥24-week duration. The number of patients with pneumonia events and time to first event (Kaplan–Meier analysis) were evaluated (post-hoc), stratified by baseline blood neutrophil count and ICS use. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate hazard ratios (HR), split by median baseline blood neutrophils. Ten studies (1998 to 2011) with 11,131 patients were identified. The ICS (n = 6735) and non-ICS (n = 4396) cohorts were well matched in neutrophil distributions and demographics. Increasing neutrophil count was associated with an increased proportion of patients with pneumonia events; patients below the median neutrophil count were at less risk of a pneumonia event (HR, 0.75 [95% confidence interval 0.61–0.92]), and had longer time to a first event, compared with those at/above the median. The increase in pneumonia risk by neutrophil count was similar between the two cohorts. Increased blood neutrophils in COPD were associated with increased pneumonia risk, independent of ICS use. These data suggest blood neutrophils may be a useful marker in defining treatment pathways in COPD.
SIGNIFICADO PSICOLÓGICO DE SAÚDE COMO FUNÇÃO DE CONTINGÊNCIAS GRUPAIS EM DUAS FACULDADES DE SÃO PAULO. (1976)

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar indicadores de contingências grupais que controlam comportamentos verbais de alunos a eles afiliados, por meio de significados de palavras relacionadas ao binômio saúde-doença. O estudo foi realizado em Faculdades de Enfermagem e Psicologia, comparando-se os dados de grupos em cada escola e destas entre si. Utilizou-se a técnica do Diferencial Semântico de CE Osgood, aplicado numa amostra da população de primeiro e quartos anos das duas escolas.

Altering hemoglobin levels changes energy status in maize cells under hypoxia (1998)

Nonsymbiotic hemoglobins are broadly present across the plant kingdom; however, the function of these proteins is unknown. Cultured maize cells have been transformed to constitutively express a barley hemoglobin gene in either the sense (HB+) or antisense (HB-) orientation. Hemoglobin protein in the transformed cell lines correspondingly was higher or lower than in wild-type cells under normal atmospheric conditions. Limiting oxygen availability, by placing the cells in a nitrogen atmosphere for 12 hr, had little effect on the energy status of cells constitutively expressing hemoglobin, but had a pronounced effect on both wild-type and HB- cells, where ATP levels declined by 27% and 61%, respectively. Total adenylates in these cells were approximately 35% lower than in HB+ cells. Energy charge was relatively unaffected by the treatment in HB+ and wild-type cells, but was reduced from 0.91 to 0.73 in HB- cells, suggesting that the latter were incapable of maintaining their energy status under the low oxygen regime. Treatment of the cells grown in an air atmosphere with antimycin A gave essentially the same results. It is suggested that nonsymbiotic hemoglobins act in plants to maintain the energy status of cells in low oxygen environments and that they accomplish this effect by promoting glycolytic flux through NADH oxidation, resulting in increased substrate-level phosphorylation. Hypoxic acclimation of plants is an example of this effect in nature. Nonsymbiotic hemoglobins are likely ancestors of an early form of hemoglobin that sequestered oxygen in low oxygen environments, providing a source of oxygen to oxidize NADH to provide ATP for cell growth and development.
Enantioselective Catalysis in Fluorinated Media – Synthesis and Properties of Chiral Perfluoroalkylated (Salen)manganese Complexes (1999)

Chiral (salen)manganese complexes, which are selectively soluble in perfluorocarbons, were synthesized and tested as epoxidation catalysts in fluorous-organic two-phase systems. The immiscibility of the perfluorocarbons with regular organic solvents allowed a quick and effective separation of the catalyst from the products. These unprecedented perfluoroalkylated salen complexes were found to be efficient and chemoselective catalysts in the presence of several oxygen donors, but enantioselectivities were generally poor. An interesting exception to this behaviour was observed in the asymmetric epoxidation of indene that provides indene oxide with 70–92% enantiomeric excess.
Somatic Stem Cells and Their Plasticity (2002)

To the scientist, stem cells offer a precious source of undifferentiated material for the study of cell maturation and specialization. To the clinician, these cells represent a potential source of material for the cure and replacement of damaged organs and tissues. They hold great promise for future therapy: Any disease resulting from genetically o
A phase II, randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial on the efficacy of Curcumina and Calendula suppositories for the treatment of patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome type III (2017)

In this phase II clinical trial we showed the clinical efficacy of the treatment with Curcumin and Calendula in patients with CP/CPPS III. The benefits of this treatment could be related to the reduction of inflammatory cytokines and of inflammatory cells. These results should be confirmed in further studies with greater sample size.
[8-oxoguanosine as a marker of neoplastic process in brain]. (2000)

Reactive oxygen species are toxic and cancerogenic factors to living organisms. They are suggested to cause DNA damage (modification) that triggers cancer development. It seems that oxidative damage product 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) which induces transversion of G to T could be a good chemical marker for cancerogenesis. The aim of our studies was to use 8-oxo-dG as a probe for brain tumour in 17 patients operated on for intracranial neoplasm. Among the patients there were 7 female and 11 male aged from 14 to 60 year. Mean age was 42.88 +/- 16.14 yrs. Several types of tumours were selected histopathologically: from neuroepithelial tissue--6 cases, meningeomas--4, metastases--3, lymphomas--2, neurinoma--1 and chondrosarcoma--1. The tumour tissue was collected from removed material and stored at -20 degrees C. DNA from the neoplastic tissues was isolated by salt method. After hydrolysis of DNA with nuclease P1 and dephosphorylation with bacterial alkaline phosphatase, the mixture of nucleosides was analysed by liquid chromatography method connected with electrochemical detector (HPLC-ECD) working at potential 400 mV. We found higher level of 8-oxo-dG in DNA of patients with malignant tumour (glioblastoma). However, at the present stage of these studies there was no proportional correlation between the level of 8-oxo-dG in DNA in tumour tissue and its malignancy.
<p>Predictors of Current DSM-5 PTSD Diagnosis and Symptom Severity Among Deployed Veterans: Significance of Predisposition, Stress Exposure, and Genetics</p> (2020)

Both warzone and non-warzone factors predicted current PTSD symptoms among veterans, including a PTSD genetic risk score. Interaction effects were detected for combat exposure and lifetime trauma by genetic risk score for PTSD symptoms, suggesting that PTSD symptom manifestation was more dependent on PTSD risk variants than the level of trauma or combat exposure. This suggests that controlling for other factors, the absence of genetic risk variants may confer PTSD resilience. Further research is planned.

A Second UDP-glucose Pyrophosphorylase Is Required for Differentiation and Development in Dictyostelium discoideum (2002)

Uridine diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase (UDPGP) is a developmentally regulated enzyme in Dictyostelium discoideum, which is involved in trehalose, cellulose, and glycogen synthesis. Two independent UDPGP proteins are believed to be responsible for this activity. To determine the relative contributions of each protein, the genes encoding them were disrupted individually. Cells lacking the udpgp1 gene exhibit normal growth and development and make normal levels of cellulose. In agreement with these phenotypes, udpgp1(-) cells still have UDPGP activity, although at a reduced level. This supports the importance of the second UDPGP gene. This newly identified gene, ugpB, encodes an active UDPGP as determined by complementation in Escherichia coli. When this gene is disrupted, cells undergo aberrant differentiation and development ending with small, gnarled fruiting bodies. These cells also have decreased spore viability and decreased levels of glycogen, whose production requires UDPGP activity. These phenotypes suggest that UgpB constitutes the major UDPGP activity produced during development. Sequence analysis of the two UDPGP genes shows that UgpB has higher homology to other eukaryotic UDPGPs than does UDPGP1. This includes the presence of 5 conserved lysine residues. Udpgp1 only has 1 of these lysines.
The impact of preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on surgical decision-making in young patients with breast cancer. (2009)

Abstract Abstract #4012 Recent data suggests that breast MRI is a more sensitive diagnostic test for detecting invasive breast cancer than mammography or breast ultrasound. Breast MRI may be particularly useful in younger premenopausal women with higher density breast tissue for differentiating between dense fibroglandular breast tissue and breast malignancies. The primary objective of this study was to determine the impact of pre-operative breast MRI on surgical decision-making in young women with breast cancer.&amp;#x2028; Methods: A retrospective review of 32 patients with newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer and age ≤ 50 was performed. All patients underwent a physical examination, preoperative mammogram, breast ultrasound, and bilateral breast MRI. Two breast cancer surgeons reviewed the preoperative mammogram report, breast ultrasound report, and physical examination summary for each case and were asked if they would recommend a lumpectomy, quandrantectomy, or mastectomy. A few weeks later, the two surgeons were shown the same information with the breast MRI report and were asked what type of surgery they would now recommend. In each case, MRI was classified by two adjudicators as having affected the surgical outcome in a positive, negative, or neutral fashion. A 'Positive Impact' was defined as the situation where breast MRI detected additional disease that was not found on physical exam, mammogram, or breast ultrasound and led to an appropriate change in surgical management. A 'Negative Impact' was defined as the situation where the breast MRI results led the surgeon to recommend more extensive surgery, with less extensive disease actually found at pathology. 'No Impact' was defined as the situation where MRI findings did not alter surgical recommendations or outcome.&amp;#x2028; Results: The median age was 41.5 years. The pathologic diagnosis was invasive ductal carcinoma in 94% (30/32) and invasive lobular carcinoma in 6% (2/32) of cases. For surgeon A, clinical management was altered in 21/32 (66%) of cases, and for surgeon B, management was altered in 13/32 (41%) of cases. The most common change in surgical decision-making after breast MRI was from breast conserving surgery to a mastectomy. Mastectomy rates were similar between both surgeons after breast MRI. After reviewing the pathology results and comparing them with the breast MRI results, it was determined that breast MRI led to a positive outcome in 13/32 cases (41%). Breast MRI led to no change in surgical management in 15/32 (47%) cases and resulted in a negative change in surgical management in 4/32 (13%) cases. Bilateral breast MRI detected a contralateral breast cancer in 2/32 (6%) patients.&amp;#x2028; Conclusions: Preoperative breast MRI appears to result in a change in surgical management in a significant proportion of younger women. Further research is needed to determine if this change in surgical decision-making will result in improved local control. Citation Information: Cancer Res 2009;69(2 Suppl):Abstract nr 4012.

Precursor selection in hybrid molecular beam epitaxy of alkaline-earth stannates (2020)

One of the challenges of oxide molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is the synthesis of oxides containing metals with high electronegativity (metals that are hard to oxidize). The use of reactive organometallic precursors can potentially address this issue. To investigate the formation of radicals in MBE, we explored three carefully chosen metal-organic precursors of tin for SnO2 and BaSnO3 growth: tetramethyltin (TMT), tetraethyltin (TET), and hexamethylditin (HMDT). All three precursors produced single-crystalline, atomically smooth, and epitaxial SnO2 (101) films on r-Al2O3 (101¯2) in the presence of oxygen plasma. The study of growth kinetics revealed reaction-limited and flux-limited regimes except for TET, which also exhibited a decrease in the deposition rate with increasing temperature above ∼800 °C. Contrary to these similarities, the performance of these precursors was dramatically different for BaSnO3 growth. TMT and TET were ineffective in supplying adequate tin, whereas HMDT yielded phase-pure, stoichiometric BaSnO3 films. Significantly, HMDT resulted in phase-pure and stoichiometric BaSnO3 films even without the use of an oxygen plasma (i.e., with molecular oxygen alone). These results are discussed using the ability of HMDT to form tin radicals and therefore assisting with Sn → Sn4+ oxidation reaction. Structural and electronic transport properties of films grown using HMDT with and without oxygen plasma are compared. This study provides guideline for the choice of precursors that will enable the synthesis of metal oxides containing hard-to-oxidize metals using reactive radicals in MBE.
Induction motor emulation for variable frequency drives testing (2015)

This paper presents a method employing a simple three-phase transformer connected to a three-phase AC variable load for emulating a standard three phase AC induction motor. Such an emulator could be used for variable frequency drive testing but eliminates any moving parts for higher reliability, reduces audible noise, and eliminates high-cost dynamometers. The method utilizes the concept of assuming that the induction machine is a "rotating transformer." To validate the emulator behavior, a simulation for a line-fed machine and a line fed three-phase transformer with a three-phase variable load is performed. Experimental verification of the inverter-fed machine and transformer are also presented and show excellent emulation capabilities of motor behavior at various slip values.

Experimental Studies on SAT-Based ATPG for Gate Delay Faults (2007)

The clock rate of modern chips is still increasing and at the same time the gate size decreases. As a result, already slight variations during the production process may cause a functional failure. Therefore, dynamic fault models like the gate delay fault model are becoming more important. Meanwhile classical algorithms for test pattern generation reach their limits regarding run time and memory needs. In this work, a SAT-based approach to calculate test patterns for gate delay faults is presented. The basic transformation is explained in detail. The application to industrial circuits - where multi-valued logic has to be considered - is studied and experimental results are reported.
Unsupervised Learning of Dense Optical Flow and Depth from Sparse Event Data. (2018)

In this work we present a lightweight, unsupervised learning pipeline for \textit{dense} depth, optical flow and egomotion estimation from sparse event output of the Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS). To tackle this low level vision task, we use a novel encoder-decoder neural network architecture - ECN. Our work is the first monocular pipeline that generates dense depth and optical flow from sparse event data only. The network works in self-supervised mode and has just 150k parameters. We evaluate our pipeline on the MVSEC self driving dataset and present results for depth, optical flow and and egomotion estimation. Due to the lightweight design, the inference part of the network runs at 250 FPS on a single GPU, making the pipeline ready for realtime robotics applications. Our experiments demonstrate significant improvements upon previous works that used deep learning on event data, as well as the ability of our pipeline to perform well during both day and night.
