The nature of the progression of drought stress drives differential metabolomic responses in Populus deltoides (2019)

The differential adaptive metabolite responses in cyclic vs. acute drought suggest that stress acclimation occurs via primary metabolism in response to cyclic drought, whereas expanded metabolic plasticity occurs via secondary metabolism following severe, acute drought. The shift in carbon partitioning to aromatic metabolism with the production of a diverse suite of higher order salicylates lowers osmotic potential and increases the probability of post-stress recovery.
Malnutrition and Mortality in Frail and Non-Frail Older Adults Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement (2018)

Preprocedural nutritional status is associated with mortality in older adults undergoing AVR. Clinical trials are needed to determine whether pre- and postprocedural nutritional interventions can improve clinical outcomes in these vulnerable patients.
Dynamic-field devices for the ultrasonic manipulation of microparticles (2016)

The use of acoustic radiation forces in lab-on-a-chip environments has seen a rapid development in recent years. Operations such as particle sieving, sorting and characterisation are becoming increasingly common with a range of applications in the biomedical sciences. Traditionally, these applications rely on static patterns of ultrasonic pressure and are often collectively referred to as ultrasonic standing wave devices. Recent years have also seen the emergence of devices which capitalise on dynamic and reconfigurable ultrasonic fields and these are the subject of this review. Dynamic ultrasonic fields lead to acoustic radiation forces that change with time. They have opened up the possibility of performing a wide range of manipulations such as the transport and rotation of individual particles or agglomerates. In addition, they have led to device reconfigurability, i.e. the ability of a single lab-on-a-chip device to perform multiple functions. This opens up the possibility of channel-less microfluidic devices which would have many applications, for example in biosensing and microscale assembly. This paper reviews the current state of the field of dynamic and reconfigurable ultrasonic particle manipulation devices and then discusses the open problems and future possibilities.
Fluorescein Angiography Using Computer Image Processing Technology (1987)

Historically, acquisition and documentation of ocular fundus disease has been accomplished using fundus photography, as introduced by Nordenson and Zeiss, 1,2 . Fluorescein angiography has become a routine method for diagnosis of disorders which affect the retinal vasculature. Advances in microcomputer technology have now made it practical to acquire color and fluorescein images of the ocular fundus without the use of film. These images are readily accessible to the clinician for diagnostic and treatment purposes. This paper describes an ocular fundus imaging system used for real time acquisition, cataloging, retrieval, and analysis of color and fluorescein images of the ocular fundus.
In vitro Susceptibility of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i>: Comparison of the E Test with the Agar Dilution Test (1997)

In vitro susceptibility testing was performed on 66 strains of Listeria monocytogenes. Recently obtained clinical isolates from Austria, France, Norway and Switzerland and 17 reference strains from three type culture collections were tested against ampicillin, gentamicin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin-sulbactam, meropenem, and first-, second-, third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins. All isolates were susceptible to ampicillin, gentamicin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin-sulbactam, and meropenem and more than 86% of the minimal inhibitory concentration E test values were within plus/minus one dilution step of the agar dilution test. In vitro susceptibility of L. monocytogenes has not changed markedly during the last decades; the level of susceptibility of old reference strains did not differ from that of recently encountered clinical isolates. The E test seems to be a suitable method for Listeria.

Refinement of Bouwer‐Rice Baildown Test Analysis (2012)

Abstract The recoverability of light nonaqueous phase liquids ( LNAPL ) in the subsurface can be estimated using LNAPL transmissivity. LNAPL transmissivity is analogous to aquifer transmissivity in that it represents the volume of LNAPL that flows through a unit width of a porous medium for a unit gradient in a unit time. Methods for estimating LNAPL transmissivity from baildown test data have been modified from the Bouwer and Rice (1976) slug test method by Lundy and Zimmerman (1996) and Huntley (2000). The primary assumptions when estimating LNAPL transmissivity with the Bouwer‐Rice method include, a quasi‐steady‐state model for recharge to the well (the model assumes steady‐state radial flow to the well with rate dependent well drawdown and no storage effects) and that the ratio of change in LNAPL drawdown to change in LNAPL thickness at the well (d s /d b ) is constant. This ratio will be referred to as the j ‐ratio. Rather than having to meet boundary conditions for a predetermined j ‐ratio value, each baildown test provides the data to estimate the j ‐ratio value that is unique to that data set. This calculation methodology in turn results in the Bouwer‐Rice method being applicable to a wider range of baildown tests where it is not required for the potentiometric surface or LNAPL /water interface to remain constant.
Histogenesis and characterization of minimal bronchogenic carcinoma observed in heavy smokers. (1987)

The present article describes the results of observations of 11 lesions in 8 cases of roentgenographically occult in situ or microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma with a size of 4 X 4 mm or less which were detected by detailed histologic investigations of 59 cases of occult bronchogenic carcinoma. The 59 cases were discovered mainly by mass screening for the detection of early lung cancers using chest x-ray combining sputum cytology for heavy smokers. The resected specimens were processed with the method of serial block sectioning. All the serial blocks of these minimal carcinomas were observed in detail to confirm the presence or absence of carcinoma and of morphological changes of the bronchial epithelium contiguous to carcinoma. Adjacent to carcinoma, there were normal bronchial epithelium in three lesions, squamous metaplasia with marked atypia in four, basal cell hyperplasia in two, and markedly atypical basal cells without hyperplasia in two. An inference on histogenesis of bronchogenic squamous cell carcinoma was drawn from the detailed observations as follows: (1) A carcinoma develops in the area of squamous metaplasia with marked atypia; (2) A carcinoma arises from markedly atypical basal cells with or without prior hyperplasia. Even in such small-sized carcinomas, there is a difference in type of invasion within the bronchial wall. One is the creeping type which shows a marked horizontal growth and the other is the penetrating type which shows a marked downward growth.

Medications and Breast-Feeding: A Guide for Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, and other Healthcare Professionals Part III (2004)

Objective: To provide a guide for practicing pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and other healthcare professionals so that they are able to counsel and advise breast-feeding mothers and fellow healthcare professionals on the safety and use of antiinfectives, vaccines, antiepileptics, benzodiazepines, psychotherapeutic drugs, and radiopharmaceuticals during breast-feeding. Data Sources: Primary texts used by the breast-feeding community ( Medications and Mothers' Milk, Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation, Drugs and Human Lactation) were searched, as well as Micromedex, MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, and EMBASE2 (1984–February 2004). Study Selection/Data Extraction: Multiple sources were used wherever available to validate the data, and primary articles were used to verify all tertiary source information. Search terms included breast-feeding, lactation, nursing, and medications, as well as specific drug names. Data Synthesis: Concerns regarding medication use during breast-feeding have caused mothers to either discontinue nursing or not take necessary medications. Complete avoidance of medications or cessation of breast-feeding is often unnecessary. Although there are drugs that can be harmful to nursing infants, breast-milk concentrations of most drugs are insufficient to cause any harm. Conclusions: Having objective and reliable information on medications enables pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, other healthcare providers, and mothers to make educated decisions regarding drug therapy and breast-feeding.
Proteases of liver fluke - enzymatic characterisation and prospects for vaccination against fasciolosis (2010)

\n \t\t\tLiver flukes produce cathepsin B and cathepsin L in their excretory-secretory material. Cathepsin B is predominately released in the juvenile stage of the life-cycle, while different cathepsin L's are released throughout the cycle. Phylogenetic analysis of the mature proteins shows that cathepsin L's and B form distinct clades, as expected. Cathepsin L proteases also form clades that reflect their predicted enzymatic activity, and their temporal expression. We have expressed examples of both these cathepsins in yeast, and purified them for both enzymatic analysis and for use as vaccines. Recently, a vaccination experiment was performed combining cathepsins B and L as immunogens, demonstrating that a multivalent vaccine may be optimal.\n
Inverse relation between mRNA synthesis and secretion of parathyroid hormone in athymic mice grafted with human parathyroid tissueNote (2001)

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) mRNA in original and transplanted human adenomatous parathyroid tissue and human serum intact PTH (S-iPTH) was measured in athymic mice at 4, 7, 14, and 28 days after transplantation. Parathyroid tissue was obtained during surgery for hyperparathyroidism and implanted subcutaneously. PTH mRNA detection was done with RT-PCR followed by membrane blot and hybridisation and S-iPTH was analysed using a human specific immunoradiometric method. At 4 days, PTH mRNA was 79.6+/-5.3% (mean+/-SE) of that in original tissue whereas S-iPTH was only 5.4 ng/l. At 28 days, PTH mRNA was significantly reduced to 60.7+/-4.1% whereas S-iPTH was increased to 192 ng/l. The reduced PTH mRNA expression in the transplants at 28 days may be explained by an inhibited DNA transcription. The presence of human S-iPTH in transplanted mice at 4 days may be due to cell disintegration and diffusion. The gradual increase in S-iPTH during the experimental period probably reflects increased transplant cell volume and improved graft revascularisation.

0-Step Capturability, Motion Decomposition and Global Feedback Control of the 3D Variable Height-Inverted Pendulum (2019)

One common method for stabilizing robots after a push is the Instantaneous Capture Point, however, this has the fundamental limitation of assuming constant height. Although there are several works for balancing bipedal robots including height variations in 2D, the amount of literature on 3D models is limited. There are optimization methods using variable Center of Pressure (CoP) and reaction force to the ground, although they do not provide the physical region where a robot can step and require a precomputation for the analysis. This work provides the necessary and sufficient conditions to maintain balance of the 3D Variable Height Inverted Pendulum (VHIP) with both, fixed and variable CoP. We also prove that the 3D VHIP with Fixed CoP is the same as its 2D version, and we generalize controllers working on the 2D VHIP to the 3D VHIP. We also show the generalization of the Divergent Component of Motion to the 3D VHIP and we provide an alternative motion decomposition for the analysis of height and CoP strategies independently. This allow us to generalize previous global feedback controllers done in the 2D VHIP to the 3D VHIP with a Variable CoP.

The prototype HIV-1 maturation inhibitor, bevirimat, binds to the CA-SP1 cleavage site in immature Gag particles (2011)

This is the first demonstration of a direct interaction between the maturation inhibitor, bevirimat, and its target, Gag. Information gained from this study sheds light on the mechanisms by which the virus develops resistance to this class of drug and may aid in the design of next-generation maturation inhibitors.
Experimental studies of localization method using round-trip range measurements (2010)

A method for accurate localization of a space rover on a surface of a small planetary body has been developed [2] for guiding it to a destination point. The method uses round-trip propagation delay of radio waves, range, between a mother spacecraft and the rover. Numerical simulations proved that the developed method is able to estimate the position of the rover with reasonable accuracy assuming that the measurement noise is Gaussian. In this paper, experimental results are presented, which are conducted in a laboratory via range measurement tool, a total station by TOPCON. These results proved that the estimation converges even the measurement data includes real noise existed in the range measurement tool, which support the feasibility of the proposed method of esetimation.
Oxidation Effects on Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Electroconductive Ceramic Composites (2008)

The effects of long term oxidation (up to 100 h) in the temperature range 600-1500°C on mechanical strength and electrical resistivity are examined in different types of composites: AlN-SiC, AlN-SiC-MoSi2, Si3N4-MoSi2 and Si3N4-TiN. The degradation of strength and of electrical conductivity are related to the characteristics of the oxide scale and of the sub-surface damage after oxidation.
Comparative Study of Native Flowers for Anti-oxidative Effects in Korea (2013)

Abstract - Nine kinds of flowers were selected by its antioxidative activities evaluated. DPPH(1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazil), reducing power, total phenol contents, total flavonoid contents, and antimicrobial activity inhibitory effects of nine natural flower varieties were examined using ethanol extract (80%, v/v). DPPH radical scavenging of Agastache rugosa (fisch.&Mey.) kuntze (IC 50 = 74.6 μg/mL) and solidago virga - aurea var. asiatica (IC 50 = 99.6 μg/mL) showed higher antioxidant activity compared with those of the other varieties. Reducing power of Agastache rugosa (fisch.&Mey.) kuntze (OD 700 = 1.0) had higher antioxidant activity. Agastache rugosa (fisch.&Mey.) kuntze showed the highest content of total phenol (134.6 mg GAE/g). However, total flavonoid (554.6 mg QE/g) exhibited the lowest. These results suggest that nine kinds of flower with 80% ethanol extracts have significant antioxidant activity. Key words - Flower, Antioxidant, Total flavonoid contents, Reducing power, Total phenolic contents
Correlation of MRI-Derived Apparent Diffusion Coefficients in Newly Diagnosed Gliomas with [18F]-Fluoro-L-Dopa PET: What Are We Really Measuring with Minimum ADC? (2012)

There was a poor correlation between minimum ADC and the most viable/aggressive component of high-grade gliomas. This study suggests that other factors, such as tissue compression and ischemia, may be contributing to restricted diffusion in GBM. Caution should be exercised in the clinical use of minimum ADC as a marker of tumor grade and the use of this index for guiding tumor biopsies preoperatively.
Micromobility support for random access network topologies (2004)

The combination of mobile IP with frequent handovers results in high handoff latencies and control overhead in the core network. Micromobility protocols like cellular IP. Hawaii and MIPv4 regional registration were developed to avoid these problems, supporting local mobility within one IP domain. Hereby, tree access topologies were considered to evaluate the protocol performance A. Campbell et al., (2000) (2002) although meshed topologies are desired for reasons of robustness against link failures and load balancing L. Peters et al., (2003). The mentioned micromobility protocols do not use the extra links or result in a bad performance in terms of end-to-end delay. This paper proposes a new micromobility protocol for random access topologies. During handoff a router in the access network detects if it has the function of cross-over node. Hereby, control traffic is concentrated near the involved access routers, while optimal paths in the access network are achieved. The basic concept of the protocol is presented and the handoff performance is compared to other micromobility protocols.
A Portfolio Approach to Risk Reduction in Discretely Rebalanced Option Hedges (1998)

This paper analyses the accumulated hedging errors generated by discretely rebalanced option hedges. We show that simple generalizations of the prior research can underestimate the variance of the accumulated hedging errors and that even with daily rebalancing, these accumulated hedging errors can introduce substantial risk in arbitrage strategies suggested by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We also show that the correlation between the accumulated hedging errors for different options can be quite high, so that the risk of arbitrage due to hedging errors can be substantially reduced by optimally combining options into portfolios. The results also suggest that tests of market pricing of traded options which are based on employing a portfolio approach are likely to be much better specified than the standard tests that focus on individual options.
Target Speaker Localization Based on the Complex Watson Mixture Model and Time-Frequency Selection Neural Network (2018)

Common sound source localization algorithms focus on localizing all the active sources in the environment. While the source identities are generally unknown, retrieving the location of a speaker of interest requires extra effort. This paper addresses the problem of localizing a speaker of interest from a novel perspective by first performing time-frequency selection before localization. The speaker of interest, namely the target speaker, is assumed to be sparsely active in the signal spectra. The target speaker-dominant time-frequency regions are separated by a speaker-aware Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, and they are sufficient to determine the Direction of Arrival (DoA) of the target speaker. Speaker-awareness is achieved by utilizing a short target utterance to adapt the hidden layer outputs of the neural network. The instantaneous DoA estimator is based on the probabilistic complex Watson Mixture Model (cWMM), and a weighted maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters is accordingly derived. Simulative experiments show that the proposed algorithm works well in various noisy conditions and remains robust when the signal-to-noise ratio is low and when a competing speaker exists.
W poszukiwaniu Piastów (2016)

The origin of the Piast dynasty is a matter of lively discussions and disputes. At least a few controversial hypotheses exist, but their credibility is difficult to assess due to the scarcity of written as well as material sources, especially from the time of Polish state formation. Life sciences, however, can support history and archeology. Application of genetic tests, used earlier mainly in forensic laboratories, enabled identification of the remains of King Richard III, the Romanov dynasty members and Nicolaus Copernicus. Contemporary DNA studies, based on next generation DNA sequencing, outreach the narrow area of known markers such as mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and selected regions of Y chromosome. Although ancient DNA (aDNA), extracted from remains, is usually highly degraded and contaminated with genetic material of microorganisms, there are methods which allow for the analysis of such material and retrieval of information about origin, kinship and some phenotypic features of an individual. Genetic studies of the Piast dynasty, a subject of our research project, have to deal with numerous difficulties. In or der to gain access to bone samples, we need to meet a number of formal requirements. Moreover, despite the existence of available abundant documentation on the Piast burials, the actual situation is not always consistent with the written sources. Our first experiences show how difficult it is to localize the remains, identify them and extract DNA of sufficient quality.

Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Dipolar Antiferromagnets (2016)

We report ac susceptibility, specific heat, and neutron scattering measurements on a dipolar-coupled antiferromagnet LiYbF_{4}. For the thermal transition, the order-parameter critical exponent is found to be 0.20(1) and the specific-heat critical exponent -0.25(1). The exponents agree with the 2D XY/h_{4} universality class despite the lack of apparent two-dimensionality in the structure. The order-parameter exponent for the quantum phase transitions is found to be 0.35(1) corresponding to (2+1)D. These results are in line with those found for LiErF_{4} which has the same crystal structure, but largely different T_{N}, crystal field environment and hyperfine interactions. Our results therefore experimentally establish that the dimensional reduction is universal to quantum dipolar antiferromagnets on a distorted diamond lattice.
