<title>Preliminary results of tracked photorefractive keratectomy (T-PRK) for mild to moderate myopia with the autonomous technologies excimer laser at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center</title> (1997)

Preliminary results of the correction of myopia up to -7.00 D by tracked photorefractive keratectomy (T-PRK) with a scanning and tracking excimer laser by Autonomous Technologies are discussed. 41 eyes participated (20 males). 28 eyes were evaluated one month postop. At epithelization day mean uncorrected vision was 20/45.3. At one month postop, 92.8 of eyes were 20/40 and 46.4% were 20/20. No eye was worse than 20/50. 75% of eyes were within +/- 0.5 D of emmetropia and 82% were within +/- 1.00 D of emmetropia. Eyes corrected for monovision were included. One eye lost 3 lines of best corrected vision, and had more than 1.00 D induced astigmatism due to a central corneal ulcer. Additional complications included symptomatic recurrent corneal erosions which were controlled with topical hypertonic saline. T-PRK appears to allow effective correction of low to moderate myopia. Further study will establish safety and efficacy of the procedure.
High-field transport properties of a P-doped BaFe2As2 film on technical substrate (2017)

High temperature (high-T<sub>c</sub>) superconductors like cuprates have superior critical current properties in magnetic fields over other superconductors. However, superconducting wires for high-field-magnet applications are still dominated by low-T<sub>c</sub> Nb<sub>3</sub>Sn due probably to cost and processing issues. The recent discovery of a second class of high-T<sub>c</sub> materials, Fe-based superconductors, may provide another option for high-field-magnet wires. In particular, AEFe<sub>2</sub>As<sub>2</sub> (AE: Alkali earth elements, AE-122) is one of the best candidates for high-field-magnet applications because of its high upper critical field, H<sub>c2</sub>, moderate H<sub>c2</sub> anisotropy, and intermediate T<sub>c</sub>. Here we report on in-field transport properties of P-doped BaFe<sub>2</sub>As<sub>2</sub> (Ba-122) thin films grown on technical substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The P-doped Ba-122 coated conductor exceeds a transport J<sub>c</sub> of 10<sup>5</sup> A/cm<sup>2</sup> at 15 T for main crystallographic directions of the applied field, which is favourable for practical applications. Our P-doped Ba-122 coated conductors show a superior in-field J<sub>c</sub> over MgB<sub>2</sub> and NbTi, and a comparable level to Nb<sub>3</sub>Sn above 20 T. By analysing the E - J curves for determining J<sub>c</sub>, a non-Ohmic linear differential signature is observed at low field due to flux flow along the grain boundaries. However, grain boundaries work as flux pinning centres as demonstrated by the pinning force analysis.
CoDraw: Collaborative Drawing as a Testbed for Grounded Goal-driven Communication (2017)

In this work, we propose a goal-driven collaborative task that combines language, perception, and action. Specifically, we develop a Collaborative image-Drawing game between two agents, called CoDraw. Our game is grounded in a virtual world that contains movable clip art objects. The game involves two players: a Teller and a Drawer. The Teller sees an abstract scene containing multiple clip art pieces in a semantically meaningful configuration, while the Drawer tries to reconstruct the scene on an empty canvas using available clip art pieces. The two players communicate with each other using natural language. We collect the CoDraw dataset of ~10K dialogs consisting of ~138K messages exchanged between human players. We define protocols and metrics to evaluate learned agents in this testbed, highlighting the need for a novel "crosstalk" evaluation condition which pairs agents trained independently on disjoint subsets of the training data. We present models for our task and benchmark them using both fully automated evaluation and by having them play the game live with humans.

Self-Propagating Metathesis Routes to Metastable Group 4 Phosphides (2000)

Group 4 phosphides, which are typically prepared at high temperatures (> 800 degrees C) over several days, are synthesized in self-propagating metathesis (exchange) reactions in seconds. These reactions produce cubic forms of zirconium phosphide (ZrP) and hafnium phosphide (HfP) which are normally made at temperatures greater than 1425 degrees C and 1600 degrees C, respectively. To test whether the high temperatures reached in the metathesis reactions are responsible for the formation of the cubic phases, inert salts are added to lower the maximum reaction temperatures. The lower temperature reactions still result in cubic phosphides, although smaller crystallites form. Further experiments with phosphorus addition indicate that the phosphorus content is not responsible for cubic phase formation. Templating is ruled out using lattice mismatched KCl and hexagonal ZnS as additives. Therefore, the direct synthesis of the high-temperature cubic phase in metathesis reactions appears to be caused by nucleation of the metastable cubic form that is then trapped by rapid cooling. Heating the cubic phase of either ZrP or HfP to 1000 degrees C for 18 h, or carrying out metathesis reactions in sealed ampules at 1000 degrees C, results only in the hexagonal phase.
Needle electromyography at 1 month predicts paralysis of elbow flexion at 3 months in obstetric brachial plexus lesions (2012)

EMG at 1 month can identify severe cases of flexion paralysis for early referral EMG of the biceps at 3 months is highly misleading; the discrepancy between the EMG and clinical testing may be due to abnormal axonal branching and aberrant central motor control.

82. OPENING-WEDGE VERSUS PROXIMAL CHEVRON OSTEOTOMY FOR HALLUX VALGUS WITH INCREASED INTERMETATARSAL ANGLE (2011)

Purpose: For patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus with increased intermetatarsal angle, correction with a proximal first metatarsal osteotomy is indicated. The purpose of this study is to compare the opening-wedge osteotomy of the proximal first metatarsal the proximal chevron osteotomy in the treatment of moderate to severe hallux valgus with increased intermetatarsal angle. Method: This prospective, randomized, multi-centered study is being conducted at three centers in Canada. Approximately 75 adult patients with hallux valgus are being randomized to either the proximal metatarsal opening-wedge osteotomy with plate fixation or the proximal chevron osteotomy. Patient functional scores using the SF-36, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot metatarsophalangeal inter-phalangeal score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, activity & patient satisfaction, are assessed prior to surgery and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. Surgeon preference is being evaluated based on a questionnaire and actual surgical times. Radiologic measurements (inter-metatarsal angle correction, hallux valgus angle correction, sagital talus-first metatarsal (Meary’s) angle, metatarsal length and union) will also be assessed. Results: Preliminary results demonstrate that patients who undergo the opening-wedge osteotomy have less pain at 3 months (ave. VAS pain reduction 2.9, SE±1.0) than those with the chevron (ave. VAS pain reduction 2.4, SE±1.2). VAS for activity demonstrates greater improvements with the chevron osteotomy at 3 months (0.8, SE±0.8) versus the opening-wedge (0.1, SE±1.0). AOFAS scores improve on average 18.3 (SE±8.6) with the opening wedge compared to 20.8 (SE±7.4) with the chevron at 3 months. Average hallux valgus angle correction for opening-wedge and chevron osteotomies are 11.0 degrees (SE±2.5) and 19.0 degrees (SE±3.1) respectfully. Average intermetatarsal angle correction for opening-wedge and chevron osteotomies are 6.5 (SE±1.3) and 4.3 (SE±1.7) respectfully. Both procedures are effective at maintaining metatarsal length. The opening-wedge osteotomy takes on average 60.9 minutes (SE±3.9) to complete compared to 69.1 minutes (SE±5.1) for the chevron ostetotomy. Surgeon response to the new opening-wedge osteotomy is favorable. Conclusion: Opening-wedge and proximal chevron osteotomies have comparable pain, function and radiographic outcomes. Opening wedge osteotomy is technically less demanding and requires less surgical time.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3): Attribute Syntax Definitions (1997)

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [1] requires that the contents of AttributeValue fields in protocol elements be octet strings. This document defines a set of syntaxes for LDAPv3, and the rules by which attribute values of these syntaxes are represented as octet strings for transmission in the LDAP protocol. The syntaxes defined in this document are referenced by this and other documents that define attribute types. This document also defines the set of attribute types which LDAP servers should support.

Field emission from crystalline copper sulphide nanowire arrays (2002)

Straight crystalline copper sulphide (Cu2S) nanowire arrays have been grown by using a simple gas–solid reaction at room temperature. These were demonstrated to exhibit semiconductor properties. Field emission was observed at a field of ∼6 MV/m, and its current-field characteristics deviate from Fowler–Nordheim theory, i.e., showing a nonlinear Fowler–Nordheim plot. The uniform emission from the whole arrays was observed using transparent anode technique, and their variation with applied field was recorded. The emission from individual nanowires was also studied using a field emission microscope, and was found to consist of a number of spatially resolved diffuse spots. Finally, stable emission current at different levels and over time was recorded. These findings indicate that semiconductor nanowires as cold cathode have a potential future, worthy of further comprehensive investigation. The technical importance of using semiconductor nanowires as cold cathode emitter is given.
Controlled growth behavior of chemical vapor deposited Ni nanostructures (2012)

Abstract Isolation of four distinct nanostructured Ni products is demonstrated in a well-controlled chemical vapor deposition process. These nanostructures include core–shell Ni–NiO nanowires, horizontally oriented nanowires, vertically oriented nanowires, and fully isometric cubic crystals all obtained upon an amorphous SiO2|Si growth substrate from an identical metal halide precursor. Transmission electron microscopy indicates the horizontally- and vertically-oriented nanowire products to be high-quality single crystals with a preferred growth axis along the ⟨001⟩ direction while the Ni–NiO core–shell nanowires are polycrystalline metal at the center and surrounded by an outer oxide. The differing crystal structures are reflected in the magnetic response of each nanowire type, as evidenced by magnetoresistance measurements. Detailed discussion of the formation mechanisms leading to each of the four nanostructured Ni products is presented along with a discussion of the general applicability of this non-epitaxial growth process to other material systems.

Growth factor activity of endothelin on vascular smooth muscle (1990)

Endothelin is a novel peptide secreted by endothelial cells, the vasoconstrictor effects of which appear dependent on the activation of phospholipase C. We examined in tissue culture its potential as a growth factor for vascular smooth muscle. In quiescent cultures of rat aortic smooth muscle cells, endothelin rapidly elevated levels of c-fos and c-myc mRNA. Peak effects on c-fos mRNA occurred between 15 and 30 min and were completely gone after 2 h. The elevation in c-fos mRNA was, in part, dependent on protein kinase C, since phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) also elevated c-fos mRNA and further increased c-fos mRNA expression by endothelin, but the effects were not additive. Furthermore, the endothelin-induced elevation in c-fos mRNA was attenuated but not abolished in protein kinase C-depleted cells. Maximum levels of c-myc mRNA occurred between 15 and 30 min after exposing the cells to endothelin and persisted for at least 6 h. The effects of simultaneous addition of endothelin and PMA on c-myc mRNA levels were essentially similar to those observed with c-fos mRNA. [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA occurred 8 h after exposing the cells to endothelin. The mitogenic effect of endothelin was smaller than that observed with either fetal calf serum or epidermal growth factor and was dependent on both pertussis toxin-insensitive and -sensitive pathways. Sensitivity to the latter pathway did not appear dependent on attenuation of phospholipase C activity, since neither peak intracellular calcium concentrations nor c-fos mRNA levels were reduced in pertussis toxin-treated cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Composition of Remaining Oil in a Mature Steamflood (1994)

ABSTRACT Steam distillation of reservoir oil occurs in the steam flooding process. The steam distillation phenomenon has been established and extensively studied in the laboratory, but has not been well understood in the field. The present work describes a compositional analysis of remaining oil with depth from a mature field steamflood, and supportive numerical simulation. Inclusion of the steam distillation mechanism in the analysis of the steamflood process is a potential emerging strategy for more enlightened reservoir operation and management. Heavy stock tank oil characterization by a pseudo carbon number molar distribution and conventional analyses have been used to monitor changes in residual oil in a 70 ft mature steamflood zone in the Kern River Field, California, U.S.A. In order to obtain residual oil distributions, analysis methods were developed where the effect of the extraction solvent on oil composition determination was minimized, and assessments of the non-analyzable portion of the oil were made. The results of analyses of residual oil samples extracted from field core establish the effects of steam distillation and solvent formation in a mature steamflood. The compositional effects on residual oil observed in the field have been supported by simulation. Numerical simulation of the cored zone was carried out using volatile pseudo components. The results showed the distribution of hydrocarbon components at various depths and grid blocks, and corroborated the laboratory work. Although this was applied to the Kern River Field, the approach has wider application to other steamfloods. The compositional effects will be even more important for lighter oil reservoirs, such as the Duri Field Steamflood.
Isolation of Two Genes That Encode Subunits of the Yeast Transcription Factor IIA (1992)

The yeast transcription factor IIA (TFIIA), a component of the basal transcription machinery of RNA polymerase II and implicated in vitro in regulation of basal transcription, is composed of two subunits of 32 and 13.5 kilodaltons. The genes that encode these subunits, termed TOA1 and TOA2, respectively, were cloned. Neither gene shares obvious sequence similarity with the other or with any other previously identified genes. The recombinant factor bound to a TATA binding protein-DNA complex and complemented yeast and mammalian in vitro transcription systems depleted of TFIIA. Both the TOA1 and TOA2 genes are essential for growth of yeast.
On the Ligand’s Role in the Fluorescence of Gold Nanoclusters (2010)

The fluorescence of metal nanoparticles (such as gold and silver) has long been an intriguing topic and has drawn considerable research interest. However, the origin of fluorescence still remains unclear. In this work, on the basis of atomically monodisperse, 25-atom gold nanoclusters we present some interesting results on the fluorescence from [Au(25)(SR)(18)](q) (where q is the charge state of the particle), which has shed some light on this issue. Our work explicitly shows that the surface ligands (-SR) play a major role in enhancing the fluorescence of gold nanoparticles. Specifically, the surface ligands can influence the fluorescence in two different ways: (i) charge transfer from the ligands to the metal nanoparticle core (i.e., LMNCT) through the Au-S bonds, and (ii) direct donation of delocalized electrons of electron-rich atoms or groups of the ligands to the metal core. Following these two mechanisms, we have demonstrated strategies to enhance the fluorescence of thiolate ligand-protected gold nanoparticles. This work is hoped to stimulate more experimental and theoretical research on the atomic level design of luminescent metal nanoparticles for promising optoelectronic and other applications.
Low temperature growth of ZnO nanostructures on flexible polystyrene substrates for optical, photoluminescence and wettability applications (2016)

The growth of ZnO nanostructures on flexible polystyrene substrates by a simple vacuum thermal evaporation process is reported. The ZnO films are deposited on polystyrene surfaces of 6 μm thickness which are initially anchored on glass substrates. The as-deposited films are annealed at temperatures up to 180 °C for 6–24 h after which the polystyrene is lifted off from the glass substrates to yield nanostructured films on a flexible substrate. At 180 °C there is transformation of the partially oxidized as-deposited films into nearly stoichiometric ZnO. This is accompanied by the formation of nanostructures such as nanorods, nanotubes and nanodoughnuts. The films, which were 50–200 nm in thickness, are polycrystalline in nature and also exhibit Zn/ZnO core–shell structures under favorable conditions. The nanostructures exhibit transmission greater than 80% in the visible and near infrared regions and band gaps of the order of 4 eV. The films exhibit strong blue photoluminescence and the peak position as well as intensity of emission can be tuned by varying thickness and annealing conditions. To demonstrate the flexibility, the ZnO coated polystyrene substrates were wrapped around a LED to show UV blocking property. Wettability studies indicate that films are hydrophobic with water contact angles between 92°–95°.
Merging storyboard strategies and automatic retrieval for improving interactive video search (2007)

The Carnegie Mellon University Informedia group has enjoyed consistent success with TRECVID interactive search using traditional storyboard interfaces for shot-based retrieval. For TRECVID 2006 the output of automatic search was included for the first time with storyboards, both as an option for an interactive user and in a different run as the sole means of access. The automatic search makes use of relevance-based probabilistic retrieval models to determine weights for combining retrieval sources when addressing a given topic. Storyboard-based access using automatic search output outperformed extreme video retrieval interfaces of manual browsing with resizable pages and rapid serial visualization of keyframes that used the same output. Further, the full Informedia interface with automatic search results as an option along with other query mechanisms scored significantly better than all other TRECVID 2006 interactive search systems. Attributes of the automatic search and interactive search systems are discussed to further optimize shot-based retrieval from news corpora.
Effective Properties of Carbon Fiber Composites: EM Modeling Versus Experimental Testing (2007)

This paper discusses the critical issues related to the practical application of Maxwell-Garnett approach to the electromagnetic modeling of the effective electric permittivity of dilute carbon fiber reinforced composites. In fact, recent studies have highlighted the interest in the use of such composites as lossy sheet in broad-band dielectric absorbing screen in the gigahertz range. The a.c. electrical conductivity of carbon fibers embedded in epoxy resin is determined from the best-fit between the data obtained from the experimental tests and the ones obtained from the electromagnetic modeling. Two different manufacturing processes of the test samples are investigated: pouring and dipping. It results that, in the frequency-range from 9 GHz to 12 GHz, carbon fibers having length of a few millimeters embedded in epoxy resin, are characterized by a constant value of the a.c. electrical conductivity only in case of sample preparation by pouring.
Challenging passivity in venous leg ulcer care – the ABC model of management (2016)

The under-utilisation of compression for venous leg ulcer (VLU) management translates into lost opportunities to heal wounds, improve patients' quality of life and maximise health care system efficiency. Although compression therapy is considered gold standard according to clinical guidelines, lack of clinician knowledge, unclear referral pathways, local unavailability of compression and patient unwillingness to receive compression, amongst other reasons, mean many candidates for compression do not receive appropriate treatment. This article presents a solution in the form of the 'ABC model of VLU management, a simplified approach that challenges passivity in the current approach to VLU treatment and supports wider adoption of appropriate compression therapy systems.
