Measurement Setup to Determine Thermal Expansions from 100 K to 300 K of Ultra Stable Materials Used in Space Applications (2014)

In this article we present the status of our new setup to determine coefficients of thermal expansions (CTE) of ultra stable materials at temperatures from 300K down to 100 K. Such low CTE materials are important for dimensionally stable structures in space and terrestrial applications e.g. To enable precise measurements. This setup is an advancement of a measurement facility for CTE determination at room temperature with demonstrated measurements of CTE values down to 10ppb/K <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-1</sup> . Due to the high temperature differences of the new setup, the mechanical and thermal setup is very important. The mechanical transfer function between interferometer and the device under test (DUT) has to be high and the thermal transfer function has to be very low to achieve the required accuracy. An overview of the new setup and its subsystems is given in this article with a measurement of the sensitivity of the interferometer.
Breeding Gender-aware Direct Speech Translation Systems (2020)

In automatic speech translation (ST), traditional cascade approaches involving separate transcription and translation steps are giving ground to increasingly competitive and more robust direct solutions. In particular, by translating speech audio data without intermediate transcription, direct ST models are able to leverage and preserve essential information present in the input (e.g. speaker's vocal characteristics) that is otherwise lost in the cascade framework. Although such ability proved to be useful for gender translation, direct ST is nonetheless affected by gender bias just like its cascade counterpart, as well as machine translation and numerous other natural language processing applications. Moreover, direct ST systems that exclusively rely on vocal biometric features as a gender cue can be unsuitable and potentially harmful for certain users. Going beyond speech signals, in this paper we compare different approaches to inform direct ST models about the speaker's gender and test their ability to handle gender translation from English into Italian and French. To this aim, we manually annotated large datasets with speakers' gender information and used them for experiments reflecting different possible real-world scenarios. Our results show that gender-aware direct ST solutions can significantly outperform strong -but gender-unaware -direct ST models. In particular, the translation of gender-marked words can increase up to 30 points in accuracy while preserving overall translation quality.

Modification of KSU swine finishing facility hovers, floors, or supplemental heat (1978)

Two trials were conducted to evaluate the benefits of modifying the KSU swine finishing barn by adding hovers, flooring, or both with and without supplemental heat. In trial 1, pigs with no supplemental heat, hover or floor gained significantly poorer than pigs with supplemental heat plus floor, supplemental heat plus hover and floor, or no heat and floor. Pigs with no heat but with hover, floor or both gained similarly with pigs having the benefit of supplemental heat plus modifications. Average daily gain and feed per lb gain were similar for pigs exposed to supplemental heat and those exposed to no supplemental heat. These data would suggest that finishing pigs (100 lbs plus) can perform satisfactorily without supplemental heat, if a hover or floor is provided. The second trial was conducted during March, April, and May, at which time the average temperature was above 50F, consequently no differences were observed in pig performance due to building modifications.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 9, 1978
In Vitro Microfluidic Disease Model to Study Whole Blood-Endothelial Interactions and Blood Clot Dynamics in Real-Time (2020)

The formation of blood clots involves complex interactions between endothelial cells, their underlying matrix, various blood cells, and proteins. The endothelium is the primary source of many of the major hemostatic molecules that control platelet aggregation, coagulation, and fibrinolysis. Although the mechanism of thrombosis has been investigated for decades, in vitro studies mainly focus on situations of vascular damage where the subendothelial matrix gets exposed, or on interactions between cells with single blood components. Our method allows studying interactions between whole blood and an intact, confluent vascular cell network. By utilizing primary human endothelial cells, this protocol provides the unique opportunity to study the influence of endothelial cells on thrombus dynamics and gives valuable insights into the pathophysiology of thrombotic disease. The use of custom-made microfluidic flow channels allows application of disease-specific vascular geometries and model specific morphological vascular changes. The development of a thrombus is recorded in real-time and quantitatively characterized by platelet adhesion and fibrin deposition. The effect of endothelial function in altered thrombus dynamics is determined by postanalysis through immunofluorescence staining of specific molecules. The representative results describe the experimental setup, data collection, and data analysis. Depending on the research question, parameters for every section can be adjusted including cell type, shear rates, channel geometry, drug therapy, and postanalysis procedures. The protocol is validated by quantifying thrombus formation on the pulmonary artery endothelium of patients with chronic thromboembolic disease.
Characterization of grafted polyethylene by contact‐angle hysteresis and ESCA studies (1993)

Abstract Low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) has been functionalized in the bulk through dicumyl peroxide (DCP)‐initiated grafting of dibutyl maleate (DBM) and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMO) in the temperature range from 140 to 200°C. The functionalized surfaces have been characterized through contact angle and contact‐angle hysteresis measurements as well as through ESCA studies. The degree of grafting has been determined by infrared spectrophotometry. From the ESCA patterns of the modified polymers, the atomic ratios of oxygen to carbon and silicon to carbon have been calculated. Determination of an empirical relation between contact‐angle hysteresis and the oxygen‐carbon ratio of the functionalized polymer surfaces has been attempted. It is found that the higher the oxygen‐carbon ratio, the lower the contact‐angle value for polyethylene. Contact angle‐hysteresis increases with increase of the degree of grafting. The total surface energy increases with grafting. The surface energy of the silane‐grafted polyethylene (PEgS) is found to be the lower than that of dibutyl maleate‐grafted polyethylene (PE g DBM). © 1993 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.
Predictors of Worsening Renal Function in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Treated by Low-Dose Carperitide (2015)

Hypotension within 12 h and renal dysfunction on admission are independent predictors of WRF within 24 h in patients with ADHF treated by low-dose carperitide. Hypotension may not cause WRF in patients with eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2).
Power amplifier linearization with memory effects using digital pre-distortion and genetic algorithms (2005)

This work investigates the application of genetic algorithms to linearize power amplifiers with strong memory effects using digital pre-distortion. An algorithm is presented that adapts polynomial predistortion functions to minimize adjacent channel emissions. The paper describes the implementation of this algorithm and compares its performance with those achieved by conventional wideband feedback optimization techniques. Simulation results indicate nearly optimal performance in a limited number of iterations, suggesting that this technique can be employed as a low-cost solution to meet regulatory requirements.
15N-tracer-kinetic studies on the nitrogen metabolism of very small preterm infants on a diet of mother's milk. (1985)

Protein synthesis and breakdown, nitrogen flux and other parameters of nitrogen metabolism were measured in five male preterm infants with a mean gestational age of 30.4 +/- 1.95 complete weeks of gestation and a mean body weight of 1592 +/- 517 g. The infants were fed on mothers' milk; the measurements were made at a post-conceptional age of 31.6 +/- 1.9 weeks of gestation (Ia) and were repeated at 34.4 +/- 1.9 weeks of gestation (Ib). [15N]-glycine (95 atom per cent) was used as a tracer, administered as a single enteral dose of 20 mg/kg. Whole-body protein parameters were calculated from an assumed three-pool model. The results were compared with data from moderately small preterm (II) and full-term (III) infants measured at post-conceptional ages of 36.1 +/- 1.4 and 48.0 +/- 2.8 weeks respectively. Protein synthesis rates tended to decrease with increasing post-conceptional age: 14.3 +/- 4.5 g/kg/d (Ia); 11.8 +/- 2.9 g/kg/d (Ib); 7.9 +/- 2.7 g/kg/d (II); and 7.7 +/- 1.4 g/kg/d (III). Protein breakdown and nitrogen flux showed the same trends. Possible consequences for the appropriate nutrition of very small preterm infants are discussed.
Organic composts effects on lettuce and strawberry productivity and in vit.c and pigments contents as quality parameters (2019)

Food wastes headed to landfills is still greater than desired and the long use of agrochemicals lead to agricultural and health problems. Composting could be a way of giving a new and valued purpose to those wastes paving the way to a more sustainable agriculture and global attitude towards resources (re)use. In this study, or- ganic composts N and G in different concentrations were used to fertilize lettuce and strawberry in a field experi- ment. Statistical differences were found between treatments in tissue turgidity, photosynthetic pigments and an- thocyanins content. Also, vitamin C have increased in lettuce with compost N (10 ton/ha) and in strawberry with compost G (5 ton/ha). Overall, the compost N showed better results at the lowest concentration tested, suggesting that for each crop optimizing the type and concentration of compost is important not only to improve productivity and quality but also to fine tune the amount of compost added to the soil.
Rentenreform in Brasilien: Ein Schritt in Richtung mehr soziale Gerechtigkeit? (2008)

Das offentliche Rentensystem Brasiliens ist bereits seit Jahren defizitar und hat 2003 mit 71,4 Mrd. R$ (5,5% des BIP) ein Rekorddefizit eingefahren. Im Jahre 1999 ubertrafen die Staatsausgaben fur etwa 21 Millionen Rentner erstmalig die Bildungsausgaben fur gut 48 Millionen Schuler und Studenten. In einem Land wie Brasilien, in dem es funfmal mehr unter 20-Jahrige gibt, als 60-Jahrige, ist dies ein deutliches Signal fur die Fehlleitung offentlicher Mittel. Den Hauptanteil am Defizit des offentlichen Rentensystems tragen die Beschaftigten im offentlichen Dienst. Wahrend die 19 Millionen Angestellten des Privatsektors nur etwa ein Viertel der Finanzierungslucke verursachen, produziert das Rentensystem der 3 Millionen Staatsangestellten die restlichen drei Viertel des Defizits. Grundlage hierfur sind im Wesentlichen die deutlich groszugigeren Leistungen, die den Beschaftigten im offentlichen Dienst zustehen. Da diese Leistungen zu einem Grosteil aus dem allgemeinen Steueraufkommen finanziert werden, findet eine regressive Umverteilung der Steuergelder zugunsten der kleinen, meist wohlhabenderen Gruppen der ehemaligen Staatsangestellten statt.

Nanoscale Mechanical Properties of Core–Shell-like Poly-NIPAm Microgel Particles: Effect of Temperature and Cross-Linking Density (2021)

Poly-NIPAm microgel particles with two different cross-linking densities were prepared with the classical batch polymerization process. These particles were adsorbed onto modified silica surfaces, and their nanomechanical properties were measured by means of atomic force microscopy. It was found that these particles have a hard core-soft shell structure both below and above the volume transition temperature. The core-shell-like structure appears due to a higher reaction rate of the cross-linker compared to that of the monomer, leading to depletion of cross-linker in the shell region. The microgel beads with lower average cross-linking density were found to be less stiff below the volume transition temperature than the microgel with higher cross-linking density. Increasing the temperature further to just above the volume transition temperature led to lower stiffness of the more highly cross-linked microgel compared to its less cross-linked counterpart. This effect is explained with the more gradual deswelling with temperature for the more cross-linked microgel particles. This phenomenon was confirmed by dynamic light scattering measurements in the bulk phase, which showed that the larger cross-linking density microgel showed a more gradual collapse in aqueous solution as the temperature was increased.

Power line carrier impedance matching monitor (2010)

This paper describes an impedance matching monitor for use with power line carrier systems on high voltage transmission lines. The purpose of the monitor is to determine when an undesirable impedance mismatch between a carrier transmitter and its load occurs, and to provide an alarm when the condition occurs. The alarm output is based on a calibrated setpoint that corresponds to some given percent reflected power level, or reflection coefficient, as opposed to an actual calculation of percent reflected power or reflection coefficient for a given impedance mismatch. That is, the system is calibrated with known impedance that results in the reflection coefficient that yields the desired percent reflected power alarm point. The monitor developed consists of two key components, which are a directional coupler and a controller. The impedance matching monitor was successfully installed on a PLC system used with a directional comparison blocking protection scheme on a 115-kV line.
Effect of the 3- and 4-Methyl Groups on the Opioid Receptor Properties of N-Substituted trans-3,4-Dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidines (2014)

N-substituted trans-3,4-dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidines (2a,b) are opioid receptor antagonists where the antagonist properties are not due to the type of N-substituent. In order to gain a better understanding of the contribution that the 3- and 4-methyl groups make to the pure antagonist properties of 2a,b, we synthesized analogues of 2a,b that lacked the 4-methyl (5a,b), 3-methyl (6a,b), and both the 3- and 4-methyl group (7a,b) and compared their opioid receptor properties. We found that (1) all N-methyl and N-phenylpropyl substituted compounds were nonselective opioid antagonists (2) all N-phenylpropyl analogues were more potent than their N-methyl counterparts, and (3) compounds 2a,b which have both a 3- and 4-methyl substituent, were more potent antagonists than analogues 5a,b, 6a,b, and 7a,b. We also found that the removal of 3-methyl substituent of N-methyl and N-phenylpropyl 3-methyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperazines (8a,b) gives (4a,b), which are opioid antagonists.
Purification and chemical composition of gpL115, the human lymphocyte surface sialoglycoprotein that is defective in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. (1986)

gpL115, the surface sialoglycoprotein that is defective in lymphocytes of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome patients has been purified from large scale cultures of the lymphoblastoid line CEM. The purification entails cell lysis and solubilization of gpL115 with the detergent Nonidet P-40, sequential affinity chromatography on lentil lectin-Sepharose, wheat germ lectin-Sepharose, and, after treatment with sialidase, on peanut lectin-Sepharose. Sepharose CL-6B gel filtration removes residual protein contaminants and transfers asialo-gpL115 from Nonidet P-40-containing to sodium dodecyl sulfate-containing buffer. The yield, 1300 micrograms of homogeneous protein/10(11) cells, represents greater than 60% recovery. The amino acid composition of gpL115 has several atypical features including low lysine content, high proline content, and very high content of hydroxyamino acids (12.5 residues of serine and 12.5 residues of threonine/100 amino acids). Total carbohydrate content of gpL115 is very high, i.e. 52% for the asialo-molecule. The major carbohydrate residues of asialo-gpL115 are galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine in approximately equimolar amounts (25 and 22 residues/100 amino acids, respectively) plus severalfold lower amounts of N-acetylglucosamine, fucose, and mannose.
Accidental Massive IV Administration of Cyclosporine in Man (1985)

A 23-year-old female patient being treated for Hodgkin's disease (pulmonary) received by mistake cyclosporine iv instead of tranexamic acid. We followed the evolution of the clinical signs, which were interpreted as possible signs of acute toxicity, and monitored the plasma concentrations over an 84-hour period.
The μ opiate receptor as a candidate gene for pain: Polymorphisms, variations in expression, nociception, and opiate responses (1999)

There are differences between human individuals and between mouse strains in levels of mu opiate receptor (muOR) expression, responses to painful stimuli, and responses to opiate drugs. One of the best candidates for contributing to these differences is variation at the muOR gene locus. Support for this idea comes from analyses of the human and murine muOR genes. Assessments of individual differences in human muOR expression add further support. Studies with mice, including knockout-transgenic, quantitative trait locus, and strain-comparison studies, also strongly support the possibility that muOR gene alleles would be strong candidates for contributing to individual differences in human nociception and opiate drug responses. This paper reviews current analyses of the murine and human muOR genes, their important variants, and correlations between these variants and opiate influences on pain.
Study on the Paraffin Deposition Law in the Well Bore Equipped with Sucker-Rod Pump (2013)

For the paraffin deposition in the well bore equipped with sucker-rod pump, this paper, based on the mathematical model for transient temperature prediction in the wellbore equipped with sucker-rod pump, makes the prediction results of the temperature distribution in the wellbore with different yield of 10-18 wells in D1 area. It is found that the change of wellhead temperature is affected by some factors such as oil production, tubing size, thermal conductivity, surface roughness and flowing production time. Therefore, we get the paraffin deposition law in the well bore equipped with sucker-rod pump.
Production of urea but absence of urea cycle in pancreatic islet cells (1988)

Rat pancreatic islets produce large amounts of urea when exposed to L-arginine (10 mM). However, no urea cycle seems to be operative in islet cells. Indeed, islet homogenates fail to display ornithine transcarbamylase activity, and no [14C]-urea is produced by islets or RINm5F cells incubated with H14CO3- in the absence or presence of L-glutamine (10 mM). Moreover, no production of unlabelled urea could be detected in islets exposed to the latter amino acid.
Local and remote management integration for flexible service provisioning to the home (2007)

Giving the operator the ability to manage in- home devices greatly increases the potential of the cost-efficient provision of new profitable services. In this spirit, standardization undertaken by the DSL forum not only addresses remote management of the residential gateway but recently, also extends to in-house devices. We propose a solution that bridges remote management specified by CWMP with UPnP, already established inside the home environment. This approach will enable providers to remotely configure and manage in-house UPnP-enabled equipment, thus accelerating the deployment of new services. We investigate the nature of the two protocols and specify the bridging functionality, taking into consideration scalability and transparency. Experimental results support the applicability of the proposed approach, highlight the importance of message filtering, and provide general insight into the interplay intricacies of the particular protocol functions.
Implant Material, Type of Fixation at the Shaft, and Position of Plate Modify Biomechanics of Distal Femur Plate Osteosynthesis (2017)

Using the same plate design, the study showed that implant material, screw type, and position of the plate affect the construct stiffness and fatigue life of the fixation construct. With this knowledge, the surgeon can decide the optimal construct based on a given fracture pattern, bone strength, and reduction quality.
