Perfusion Quality Score (P.Q.S), in Material Selection before of Cardiopulmonary Bypass (2019)

There is a large number of systems and technique patterns that deal with the extracorporeal circulation technique to reduce the biologic impact of the system. Nevertheless, there is no such thing as an evaluation quality score of the pathophysiology of the CPB cardiopulmonary bypass, as our world consists of a wide range of variants of the extracorporeal circulation, which are not provided with a quality yardstick.This work seeks to create a quality score, aiming at measuring the extra-corporeal circulation technique and its impact, linked to an inspection of the scientific literature in particular, to achieve goal directed perfusion.The studies concerning the optimisation of extracorporeal circulation techniques have been analysed to reduce the pathophysiological consequences of conventional systems. Also analysed were studies on patients with low- and high-risk candidates, candidates for cardiac surgery, who used special extracorporeal circulation techniques aimed at containing the pathophysiological response, cohort studies, prospective studies, retrospective studies and meta-analysis. This paper is meant to create a quality score of the components of the cardiopulmonary bypass, stimulating the qualitative selection of the materials of the techniques and methods.
Structural and Thermoelectric Properties of Tungsten Diselenide Crystals (2011)

Crystals of Tungsten diselenide (WSe2) have been grown by direct vapour transport (DVT) technique using micro processor controlled dual zone horizontal furnace. The chemical composition and structure of grown crystals were confirmed using energy dispersive analysis of X‐ray (EDAX) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). In the present investigation thermoelectric power measurements (TEP) have been carried out on the grown crystals. Different electrical transport parameters of semiconductors have been determined and discussed in the paper.
Liquid dynamic medicine and N-of-1 clinical trials: a change of perspective in oncology research (2017)

The increasing use of genomics to define the pattern of actionable mutations and to test and validate new therapies for individual cancer patients, and the growing application of liquid biopsy to dynamically track tumor evolution and to adapt molecularly targeted therapy according to the emergence of tumor clonal variants is shaping modern medical oncology., In order to better describe this new therapeutic paradigm we propose the term "Liquid dynamic medicine" in the place of "Personalized or Precision medicine". Clinical validation of the "Liquid dynamic medicine" approach is best captured by N-of-1 trials where each patient acts as tester and control of truly personalized therapies.
Adaptivity provably helps: information-theoretic limits on $l_0$ cost of non-adaptive sensing (2016)

The advantages of adaptivity and feedback are of immense interest in signal processing and communication with many positive and negative results. Although it is established that adaptivity does not offer substantial reductions in minimax mean square error for a fixed number of measurements, existing results have shown several advantages of adaptivity in complexity of reconstruction, accuracy of support detection, and gain in signal-to-noise ratio, under constraints on sensing energy. Sensing energy has often been measured in terms of the Frobenius Norm of the sensing matrix. This paper uses a different metric that we call the $l_0$ cost of a sensing matrix-- to quantify the complexity of sensing. Thus sparse sensing matrices have a lower cost. We derive information-theoretic lower bounds on the $l_0$ cost that hold for any non-adaptive sensing strategy. We establish that any non-adaptive sensing strategy must incur an $l_0$ cost of $Θ\left( N \log_2(N)\right) $ to reconstruct an $N$-dimensional, one--sparse signal when the number of measurements are limited to $Θ\left(\log_2 (N)\right)$. In comparison, bisection-type adaptive strategies only require an $l_0$ cost of at most $\mathcal{O}(N)$ for an equal number of measurements. The problem has an interesting interpretation as a sphere packing problem in a multidimensional space, such that all the sphere centres have minimum non-zero co-ordinates. We also discuss the variation in $l_0$ cost as the number of measurements increase from $Θ\left(\log_2 (N)\right)$ to $Θ\left(N\right)$.
Structure and Properties of Thermus aquaticus .ALPHA.-Glucan Phosphorylase Expressed in Escherichia coli. (2001)

The α-glucan phosphorylase gene from Thermus aquaticus was isolated using partial amino acid sequences of purified enzyme. The identity of the gene was confirmed by expression in Es cherichia coli resulting in thermostable glucan phosphorylase activity. The open reading frame of this gene consisted of 2460 by and encoded a polypeptide of 819 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence exhibits high identity (32-43%) to 7 putative and 2 characterized glucan phosphorylases, but showed weak similarity to other well characterized glucan phosphorylases from various sources. Due to its high expression level and thermal stability, the recombinant enzyme was easily purified from E. coli cell extracts, and employed to characterize its activity. The smallest primer molecule for a synthetic reaction was maltotriose and the smallest effective substrate for a degrada tion reaction was maltotetraose. These results suggest that T. aquaticus glucan phosphorylase, and at least 9 other enzymes, form a new group of glucan phosphorylases whose structure and substrate specificity differ from the traditional glucan phosphorylases. The purified enzyme was also em ployed to investigate the effect of temperature and pH on the activities in both directions. The ac tivity exhibited a pH optimum of 8.0 for phosphorolytic reaction but 7.0 for synthesis reaction. The optimum temperature for phosphorolytic reaction was 80-85°C, while the one for synthesis reaction was 50°C.
Unravelling Single Atom Electrocatalytic Activity of Transition Metal\n Doped Phosphorene (2020)

Developing single atom catalysts (SACs) for chemical reactions of vital\nimportance in renewable energy sector has emerged as a need of the hour. In\nthis perspective, transition metal based SACs with monolayer phosphorous\n(phosphorene) as the supporting material are scrutinized for their\nelectrocatalytic activity towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen\nevolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from first\nprinciple calculations. The detailed screening study has confirmed a breaking\nof scaling relationship between ORR/OER intermediates resulting in varied\nactivity trends across the transition metal series. Group 9 and 10 transition\nmetal based SACs are identified as potential catalyst candidates with platinum\nsingle atom offering bifunctional activity for OER and HER with diminished\noverpotentials. Ambient condition stability analysis of SACs confirmed a\ndifferent extent of interaction towards oxygen and water compared to pristine\nphosphorene suggesting room for improving the stability of phosphorene via\nchemical functionalization.\n
Validation of infrasonic waveform modeling using observations of the STS107 failure upon reentry (2006)

On February 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated over Texas. Recorded at the TXIAR seismo‐acoustic array, the signal consisted of multiple arrivals from a single explosive event. The location of the explosion was estimated from the telemetered travel path recorded by NASA. The location in space and time was combined with atmospheric profiles generated by NRL‐G2S and MSIS‐90/HWM for the given day and model the observed waveform using InfraMAP. The normal mode modeled waveform closely resembled the observed waveform, with multiple arrival peaks spanning the same time period found in the observation, as well as having only a three‐second difference between last peak times. This translates to 0.33% error in total travel time. A ray trace eigenray was found with a travel time consistent with the observed arrival packet.
Analysis of injuries in Judo athletes: A systematic review (2022)

This article aimed to identify general characteristics, etiology, and location of injuries in Judo athletes. A systematic literature search was carried out up to July 2020 on the databases MEDLINE (via PubMed), LILACS (via BVS), and Science Direct to find studies that focused on the type, location, and causes of injuries in Judo athletes of both sexes and older than 18 years old. The following data were extracted from the studies: author/year, study country, sample size, competition level, injury type, location, and context of the injury. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed by the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) tool. A total of 727 studies were retrieved from the databases and 12 were selected. The selected studies involved athletes from national and international levels. The situation of training and competition was the most cited context of injury. Considering injury etiology, the location was generalized in most of the studies and the more frequent injury types were: sprains, strains, dislocations, and fractures. In relation to severity, head and neck injuries were described in 66% of the studies. Our results suggest higher awareness related to technical learning strategies to Judo practitioners that is independent of skill level. Since injury etiology is a multifaceted process, increased efforts must be invested to lower or avoid more severe injuries that are more prone to produce negative outcomes like death or disabilities.
Motion Planning and Model Predictive Control for Automated Tractor-Trailer Hitching Maneuver (2022)

In recent years significant progress has been made in optimization-based planning and control for automated vehicle operation. For heavy-duty vehicles, the research focus has been on platooning and control of articulated vehicles especially when cruising on the highway. This paper proposes an integrated system using a motion planning algorithm and a real-time reference tracking controller, tailored to the task of automated tractor-trailer hitching which is a critical maneuver in heavy-duty vehicle operations, due to requiring a very high precision. The motion planner is based on a bi-directional A-search guided tree algorithm and the tracking controller is im-plemented using nonlinear model predictive control. To validate the proposed approach, we present results from hardware-in-the-loop simulations on a dSPACE Scalexio real-time computing unit and extensive Monte Carlo closed-loop simulations.
Optimization of metal layers and substrate loss for the 3D solenoid structure inductors (2012)

This paper describes the optimization method on choice of the metal layers and the Si substrate structure about the 3-Dimantional(3D) vertical solenoid inductor on the CMOS process. The optimization of metal layers that constituted 3D structure inductors enable inductors, in which the two layers (Al, M6) stacked structure with area ratio of 0.3 and the three layers (Al, M6 and M5~M3) stacked structure with area ratio of 0.17, in comparison with an octagonal planer inductor. In spite of the reduction of area, the peak Q-factor on the inductor is almost equal. As for the constitution under the 3D solenoid inductors, Q-factor of inductor with PGS was lower than that of inductor without PGS, in the case of inductance <;1nH. Furthermore, the self-resonant frequency(f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">SR</sub> ) of inductor without PGS was higher than that of inductor with PGS. As a result the inductor without PGS is available in a higher frequency domain than the inductor of PGS type.
Information-management Activities at the GICHD (2011)

Two years have passed since a new strategy was adopted for the information-management section at the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining. A significant amount of work was completed since then, and the support and quality of the Information Management System for Mine Action has improved. The new focus on information management in a broader sense, not just limited to databases and software, has enabled country programs to collect relevant information for more effective demining operations. Although much work remains, a few key developments deserve mentioning.
The Seasonal Variation of Blood Pressure in Patients with Essential Hypertension (1982)

We examined the role of dietary electrolytes and humoral factors in causing seasonal changes in blood pressure. Normal subjects had no seasonal difference in blood pressure, although urinary sodium and norepinephrine were significantly higher in winter than in summer. In patients with essential hypertension blood pressure, urinary sodium and norepinephrine excretion and plasma norepinephrine concentration were significantly higher in winter. Plasma renin activity, plasma and urinary aldosterone and urinary kallikrein excretion were not significantly different between the two seasons in both normal subjects and hypertensive patients. In conclusions, the blood pressure of patients with essential hypertension has a seasonal variation with higher pressures in the winter than in the summer. Increased sympathetic nervous activity and an increased load of sodium presented to the kidney for excretion may be contributing factors in the rise in blood pressure in winter in patients with essential hypertension.

Integrating concurrency control and energy management in device drivers (2007)

Energy management is a critical concern in wireless sensornets. Despite its importance, sensor network operating systems today provide minimal energy management support, requiring applications to explicitly manage system power states. To address this problem, we present ICEM, a device driver architecture that enables simple, energy efficient wireless sensornet applications. The key insight behind ICEMis that the most valuable information an application can give the OS for energy management is its concurrency. Using ICEM, a low-rate sensing application requires only a single line of energy management code and has an efficiency within 1.6% of a hand-tuned implementation. ICEM's effectiveness questions the assumption that sensornet applications must be responsible for all power management and sensornets cannot have a standardized OS with a simple API.

The model is also valid for wellbore collapse during underbalanced drilling. It is based on a full 3-dimensional analysis and takes load history into account. The model is derived for anisotropic stresses and is valid for all wellbore orientations. One interesting observation is the importance of the cohesive rock strength for stability in the depleted phases of the reservoir.A field case investigates the sand production potential for vertical and horizontal wellbores. The second case investigates effects of in-situ stresses and rock properties in a vertical well.

Relationship of vacA Genotypes of Helicobacter pylori to cagA Status, Cytotoxin Production, and Clinical Outcome (1998)

In this as in other reported studies ( approximately 1500 patients overall) vacA genotype was strongly but not exclusively associated with the presence of cagA. Overall, the studies did not support a role for vacA genotyping in relation to cytotoxin activity, virulence, histologic finding, or risk of a particular H. pylori disease. vacA genotype s1 is likely to be a surrogate marker for the presence of the cag pathogenicity island.
Micromachined bulk PZT tissue contrast sensor for fine needle aspiration biopsy (2006)

This paper describes a micromachined piezoelectric sensor, integrated into a cavity at the tip of a biopsy needle, and preliminary experiments to determine if such a device can be used for real-time tissue differentiation, which is needed for needle positioning guidance during fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. The sensor is fabricated from bulk lead zirconate titanate (PZT), using a customized process in which micro electro-discharge machining is used to form a steel tool that is subsequently used for batch-mode ultrasonic micromachining of bulk PZT ceramic. The resulting sensor is 50 microm thick and 200 microm in diameter. It is placed in the biopsy needle cavity, against a steel diaphragm which is 300 microm diameter and has an average thickness of 23 microm. Devices were tested in materials that mimic the ultrasound characteristics of human tissue, used in the training of physicians, and with porcine fat and muscle tissue. In both schemes, the magnitude and frequency of an electrical impedance resonance peak showed tissue-specific characteristics as the needle was inserted. For example, in the porcine tissue, the impedance peak frequency changed approximately 13 MHz from the initial 163 MHz, and the magnitude changed approximately 1600 Omega from the initial 2100 Omega, as the needle moved from fat to muscle. Samples including oils and saline solution were tested for calibration, and an empirical tissue contrast model shows an approximately proportional relationship between measured frequency shift and sample acoustic impedance. These results suggest that the device can complement existing methods for guidance during biopsies.
Formation and patterning of the forebrain and olfactory system by zinc‐finger genes Fezf1 and Fezf2 (2009)

The zinc finger genes Fezf1 (Fez) and Fezf2 (Fez-like, Fezl, Zfp312) were initially identified as anterior neuroectoderm-specific genes in Xenopus and zebrafish. They encode transcriptional regulators containing an Engrailed homology 1 (Eh1) repressor motif, which is known to interact with Groucho/TLE (Transducin-Like Enhancer of Split)-type transcriptional co-repressors. Both Fezf1 and Fezf2 are expressed in the prospective forebrain region during early embryogenesis, and they subsequently show both overlapping and distinct expression domains in the olfactory epithelium and forebrain. Loss-of-function studies in mouse and zebrafish revealed roles for Fezf1 and Fezf2 in the development of the olfactory system and forebrain. In mice, Fezf1, expressed in olfactory sensory neurons, is required for the axonal projection of olfactory sensory neurons, and controls the layer formation of the olfactory bulb in a non-cell autonomous manner. Fezf2 is involved in the differentiation of subplate neurons and the formation of the fimbria and fornix. Fezf2 is also essential for specification of the subcerebral projection neurons in the neocortex. Fezf1 and Fezf2 control the rostro-caudal patterning of the diencephalon by repressing the caudal diencephalon fate in the rostral diencephalon in mice and zebrafish. In zebrafish, fezf2 is also required for the development of monoaminergic (dopaminergic and serotonergic) neurons in the basal forebrain.
NMR and UV Studies of 4-Thio-2′-deoxyuridine and Its Derivatives (2011)

5-Substituted-4-thio-2'-deoxyuridine nucleosides have been chemically synthesized and studied by NMR and UV spectroscopy. The results have been analyzed and discussed in connection with the previous data. The imino proton signal and the carbon signal of the thiocarbonyl group in the 5-substituted-4-thio-2'-deoxyuridines were found to be at much lower field, offering a potential for monitoring these modified bases at the DNA level. All 4-thionucleosides have strong absorptions at around 340 nm and consequently would be useful as potential UVA-induced anticancer agents.
