M2b Monocytes Predominated in Peripheral Blood of Severely Burned Patients (2010)

Severely burned patients were shown to be carriers of M2 monocytes, and all of the monocytes isolated from peripheral blood of severely burned patients (19 of 19 patients) were demonstrated as M2b monocytes (IL-12(-)IL-10(+)CCL1(+) monocytes). Low levels of M2a (IL-12(-)IL-10(+)CCL17(+) monocytes) and M2c monocytes (IL-12(-)IL-10(+)CXCL13(+) monocytes) were demonstrated in peripheral blood of severely burned patients (M2a, 2 of 19 patients; M2c, 5 of 19 patients). M2b, M2a, and M2c monocytes were not detected in peripheral blood of healthy donors. However, M2b monocytes appeared when healthy donor monocytes were cultured in media supplemented with burn patient serum (15%). CCL2 was detected in sera of all burn patients, and M2b monocytes were not generated from healthy donor monocytes cultured with media containing 15% burn patient sera that were previously treated with anti-CCL2 mAb. In addition, M2b monocytes were generated from healthy donor monocytes in cultures supplemented with rCCL2. These results indicate that M2b monocytes are predominant in peripheral blood of severely burned patients who are carriers of CCL2 that functions to stimulate monocyte conversion from resident monocytes to M2b monocytes.

An 8-ch LIDAR Receiver Based on TDC With Multi-Interval Detection and Real-Time $In~Situ$ Calibration (2019)

This article presents an 8-ch LIDAR receiver for pulsed time-of-flight (TOF) imaging laser detection and ranging application. The proposed LIDAR receiver can achieve both 100 m and high-precision range imaging with lower system cost, which was untrodden with conventional LIDARs. The time-to-digital converter (TDC) with multi-intervals detection is used to measure the TOF and eliminate the walking error. Spatial Savitzky-Golay smoothing filter (SSGSF) is used to improve measuring range and precision of the LIDAR system, which is based on mixed timing sampling (MTS). The MTS is realized by TDC, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 200-MS/s sampling rate, and mixed interpolation algorithm. Based on the proposed LIDAR receiver, extensive experiments have been performed to verify the performance of the LIDAR receiver. The ranging precision of the LIDAR receiver is 40 mm when the rising time of the echo signal is 3 ns and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is 10. Furthermore, the LIDAR receiver achieves a measurement range of 100 m with a peak power of 30 W and an execution time of 2.4 μs for a complete measurement.
Technical Note: Degradation of Phenanthrene and Anthracene byPseudomonasStrain, Isolated From Coastal Area (2008)

ABSTRACT A bacterial strain was isolated from a Mumbai coastal area. It was dosed with anthracene and phenanthrene, and, after 14 days of incubation, it had degraded 90% and 93% of the anthracene and phenanthrene, respectively. The metabolites were extracted and identified by ultraviolet (UV)-visible light absorption, high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and by comparing with actual compounds and data. Neutral extracts from anthracene showed four metabolites, viz 1,2-dihydroxyanthracene, 6,7-benzocoumarin, 1-methoxy-2-hydroxyanthracene, and 9,10 anthraquinone. When Pseudomonas were grown in the presence of phenanthrene, two metabolites, viz 9,10-dihydroxyphenanthrene and 3,4-dihydroxyphenanthrene were identified.
Spectroscopic imaging of buried layers in 2+1D via tabletop ptychography with high-harmonic EUV illumination (2016)

We use EUV coherent microscopy to obtain high-resolution images of buried interfaces, with chemical specificity, in 2+1 dimensions. We perform reflection mode, ptychographic, coherent diffractive imaging with tabletop EUV light, at 29nm, produced by high harmonic generation. Our damascene-style samples consist of copper structures inlaid in SiO<sub>2</sub>, polished nearly flat with chemical mechanical polishing. We obtain images of both an unaltered damascene as well as one buried below a 100nm thick layer of evaporated aluminum. The aluminum is opaque to visible light and thick enough that neither optical microscopy, SEM, nor AFM can access the buried interface. EUV microscopy is able to image the buried structures, non-destructively, in conditions where other techniques cannot.
2102 Study on Tilting Control of Vehicles by a New Method (2006)

This paper proposes a new method on tilting control of railway vehicles. In the proposed method, the tilting control is achieved by gyroscopic moment by the flywheel, which could be applied to vehicles as energy storage device. Firstly, simplified two degrees of freedom analytical model is derived to examine theoretically. Based on this model, parameters about railway vehicles-gyro system are optimized for more effective tilting performance. Control design on tilting control is made by PI control method by using feed forward signal. Finally, this system is evaluated by numerical analysis.
The role of the C' terminus of murine p53 in the p53/mdm-2 regulatory loop (2001)

Mdm-2 plays a central role in the regulation of p53 protein level and activity. Although the interaction of mdm-2 and p53 occurs through the N-terminus of the p53 protein, our present data suggest that the C' terminus plays an important role in the regulation of the p53/mdm-2 loop. Comparative analysis of the murine regularly spliced form of p53 (RSp53) and a physiological C-terminally modified p53 protein, which results from alternative splicing of the p53 mRNA (ASp53), indicated that the two isoforms behave differently in the p53/mdm-2 loop. We found that ASp53 can preferentially induce higher levels of the mdm-2 protein, compared with RSp53. Although the transactivation capacity of both forms is inhibited by mdm-2, only RSp53 is directed to proteolytic degradation by mdm-2, while ASp53 is relatively resistant. We present evidence that suggests that ASp53 protein levels determine the biological activities mediated by RSp53, such as the induction of apoptosis, through the mdm-2/p53 regulatory loop. We suggest, therefore, a new mechanism for the regulation of p53, and show that alteration of the p53 extreme C' terminus can significantly change the transcription activity and the resistance to degradation properties of the p53 protein.
Strategies for addressing linearity issues in active device modeling (2010)

Microwave active-circuit design at the semiconductor level has been proposed as a real alternative for addressing the linearity versus efficiency trade-off in wireless applications, mainly when the use of traditional system-level architectures may be prohibitive due to cost or complexity. A wide set of techniques are available from the control of the transistor physics to device-based implementations of system concepts. This presentation will firstly discuss on what are the necessary measurements and model strategies to build a semiconductor model able to predict intermodulation distortion behavior. Furthermore, attention will be focused on the selection of optimum operating conditions, the adaptation of bias and load to the input signal envelope, and the use of auxiliary devices for creating an approximated compound linear transistor. Finally, the integration of these semiconductor-based approaches in printed radiators and arrays will also be considered.

Surface tension measurement by the drop weight technique (1970)

A new approach to the determination of surface tension by the drop weight technique is proposed. The method is designed to produce drops of maximum size. From preliminary measurements the modified technique appears to be much less sensitive to certain detrimental influences such as mechanical vibration and the rate of formation of drops. The experimental precautions appear therefore to be simplified, and the potential for increasing the reliability of the results is correspondingly increased.

Magnetohydrodynamic drag reduction and its efficiency (2007)

We present results of direct numerical simulations of a turbulent channel flow influenced by electromagnetic forces. The magnetohydrodynamic Lorentz force is created by the interaction of a steady magnetic field and electric currents fed to the fluid via electrodes placed at the wall surface. Two different cases are considered. At first, a time-oscillating electric current and a steady magnetic field create a spanwise time-oscillating Lorentz force. In the second case, a stationary electric current and a steady magnetic field create a steady, mainly streamwise Lorentz force. Besides the viscous drag, the importance of the electromagnetic force acting on the wall is figured out. Regarding the energetic efficiency, it is demonstrated that in all cases a balance between applied and flow-induced electric currents improves the efficiency significantly. But even then, the case of a spanwise oscillating Lorentz force remains with a very low efficiency, whereas for the self-propelled regime in the case of a steady streamwise force, much higher efficiencies are found. Still, no set of parameters has yet been found for which an energetic breakthrough, i.e., a saved power exceeding the used power, is reached.
DQ-Based Radial Basis Function Controller for Single-Phase PEC9 Inverter (2020)

Controlling active and reactive powers in single-phase grid-connected inverters is matter of issue. This paper proposes an intelligent controller using Radial Basis Function (RBF) artificial neural network in a single-phase Direct Quadrant (DQ) frame to control active and reactive powers generated by nine-level Packed E-Cell (PEC9) inverter. Because of using single DC source, single DC link and less number of power switches, PEC9 is much interesting for grid-tied applications. In the proposed RBF-based control loop, active and reactive powers are separately controlled by using single-phase DQ transform. Since the grid current is converted to DC form, transient and steady-state errors can be suppressed remarkably. Simulation tests performed by MATLAB software show that the proposed DQRBF control loop desirably tracks active and reactive current references without significant transient response under different dynamic modes. The results also illustrate low THD, minimum capacitor voltage ripple and unity power factor.

The OA (2022)

Created by the team of Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, and starring Marling in the role of Prairie Johnston, the Netflix Originals series <italic>The OA </italic> (2016–19) is a generically ambiguous, and ambitious, vehicle for exploring a variety of themes, chief among them identity, belief and the nature and construction of reality. Prairie claims that she has learned the secret of inter-dimensional travel after a near-death experience and subsequent imprisonment at the hands of a deranged scientist obsessed with that phenomenon – but is she a potentially unreliable narrator, a sincere one or, finally, a metafictional character playing a version of herself in a fictional drama? This Constellation discusses <italic>The OA</italic> ’s <italic> </italic> thematic concerns in the context of the creators’ earlier collaborations and in terms of influences on it, such as the work of David Lynch, particularly the TV series <italic>Twin Peaks </italic> (1990–2017) and the films <italic>Mulholland Drive </italic> (2001) and <italic>Inland Empire </italic> (2006), and comparable texts such as the Netflix Originals series <italic>Sense8 </italic> (2015–18) and the writings of Jorge Luis Borges and Philip K Dick. The discussion is supported by sources from the fields of media and social theory, including the work of Robin Nelson, Steven Shaviro, Mark Fisher and Dennis Broe. Negative criticisms of <italic>The OA </italic> are also addressed, such as accusations of superficiality, which will be considered alongside the themes of deception, manipulation and artificiality identifiable in <italic>The OA </italic> specifically, and in Marling and Batmanglij’s wider oeuvre.

Current Theories on the Pathogenesis of Hepatic Encephalopathy (1994)

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a serious neuropsychiatric complication of both acute and chronic liver disease. Several hypotheses have emerged following the development of appropriate animal models of HE and following studies using postmortem brain tissue from HE patients. It was originally suggested that primary energy failure was responsible for HE; however, there is now mounting evidence that the pathogenetic defect involves neurotransmission failure. Specific neurotransmitter systems implicated in the pathogenesis of portal-systemic encephalopathy (PSE) include the excitatory amino acid glutamate as well as neuroactive and/or neurotoxic biogenic amine metabolites. Although it has been proposed that alterations in the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system may play a pathogenic role in HE associated with both chronic and acute liver failure, there is now overwhelming evidence to the contrary. On the other hand, there is evidence to suggest that a subgroup of patients with HE have increased blood and CSF concentrations of substances that bind to GABA-related benzodiazepine receptors in brain. Alterations of both the glutamatergic and serotoninergic neurotransmitter systems in PSE likely result from the metabolic consequences of chronic exposure of brain to toxic levels of ammonia. In addition to its effects on glutamatergic and serotoninergic systems during chronic liver disease, ammonia has been intimately associated with the brain edema invariably observed in acute liver failure. It is evident that, regardless of the type of liver failure, effective reductions of ammonia levels remains the strategy of choice in the prevention of encephalopathy. The further elucidation of neurotransmitter alterations in HE could result in novel "downstream" neuropharmacologic approaches to its prevention and treatment.

Living well: Empirically developed structural equation model for healthy and effective self-regulation (2023)

The purpose of this study is to develop and empirically test a structural equation model (SEM) for healthy and effective self-regulation based on the propositions of self-determination theory (SDT). A cross-sectional data sample (<i>N</i> = 6,705) is used to test the model. The results of the SEM demonstrate good to excellent global fit indices (RMSEA = 0.06, SRMR = 0.04 CFI = 0.97, TLI/NNFI = 0.95) and excellent local fit indices (<i>p</i> < 0.001). It is acknowledged that longitudinal and experimental research designs will be necessary to infer causal effects. However, based on the strong theoretical and empirical grounding of the model, indications for causal effects are discussed beyond correlational relations. The local fit indices imply that autonomy of goals, intrinsic values orientation, mindfulness, and the newly integrated construct clarity about personal values positively affect psychological needs satisfaction and facets of subjective and psychological well-being. Additionally, they indicate that mindfulness and clarity about personal values have the greatest benefits on individual health, well-being, and effectiveness. These results are crucial as they emphasize the significant role of mindfulness in healthy and effective self-regulation. Furthermore, they put the spotlight on a rather new construct; clarity about personal values. By having transferred the knowledge base of SDT into an empirically derived model of healthy and effective self-regulation, this study provides well-grounded indications of how health, well-being, and effectiveness in individuals may be fostered. These indications offer new insights for theory building and practical interventions in domains like psychotherapy, healthcare, organizations, sports, and education.
Chromosome aberrations in canine multicentric lymphomas detected with comparative genomic hybridisation and a panel of single locus probes (2003)

Recurrent chromosome aberrations are frequently observed in human neoplastic cells and often correlate with other clinical and histopathological parameters of a given tumour type. The clinical presentation, histology and biology of many canine cancers closely parallels those of human malignancies. Since humans and dogs demonstrate extensive genome homology and share the same environment, it is expected that many canine cancers will also be associated with recurrent chromosome aberrations. To investigate this, we have performed molecular cytogenetic analyses on 25 cases of canine multicentric lymphoma. Comparative genomic hybridisation analysis demonstrated between one and 12 separate regions of chromosomal gain or loss within each case, involving 32 of the 38 canine autosomes. Genomic gains were almost twice as common as losses. Gain of dog chromosome (CFA) 13 was the most common aberration observed (12 of 25 cases), followed by gain of CFA 31 (eight cases) and loss of CFA 14 (five cases). Cytogenetic and histopathological data for each case are presented, and cytogenetic similarities with human non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are discussed. We have also assembled a panel of 41 canine chromosome-specific BAC probes that may be used for accurate and efficient chromosome identification in future studies of this nature.

Scalable parallel debugging with statistical assertions (2012)

Traditional debuggers are of limited value for modern scientific codes that manipulate large complex data structures. This paper discusses a novel debug-time assertion, called a "Statistical Assertion", that allows a user to reason about large data structures, and the primitives are parallelised to provide an efficient solution. We present the design and implementation of statistical assertions, and illustrate the debugging technique with a molecular dynamics simulation. We evaluate the performance of the tool on a 12,000 cores Cray XE6.
Anderson localization and colocalization of spatially entangled photons (2012)

We explore the propagation of light in a two-photon state in disordered optical systems that induce Anderson localization. We show that entangled-photon pairs demonstrate a surprising behavior that we call Anderson colocalization: While neither photon exhibits Anderson localization, the spatial correlations of the pair remain intact. Furthermore, we show that entangled-photon pairs colocalize faster than classical light localizes in the same system. We also explore the propagation of anticorrelated and partially entangled photon pairs in such systems. The results are developed using a linear systems theory that extends the scope of quantum imaging to incorporate disordered systems.

THz detection of small molecule vapors over long paths in the atmospheric transmission windows (2011)

We describe the initial phase of a long path terahertz time-domain spectroscopy apparatus to detect THz rotational spectra of small vapor phase molecules within the atmospheric transparency windows. We discuss the measurements first for a relatively short path THz propagation path of 6.2 meters, and then for a much longer path of 170 meters.
Correlating the switch-on time of two identical PV modules using a simplified measuring approach (2016)

The installation of different renewable energy systems is gaining momentum globally, as governments and industry seek to reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel usage. PV systems have become more common place, as evidenced by the number of PV array roof-installations visible in many communities today. However, it is assumed that the modules in these arrays are identical, as it is important to have similar currents flow through each branch of an array. Partial shading or unmatched PV modules may lead to power mismatches, hot spots and ultimately a lower overall output power than what is desired. The purpose of this paper is to present a simplified measuring approach to validate the operating performance of two identical PV modules by determining their switch-on time. Any significant differences in switch-on time between identical PV modules could lead to possible power mismatches in a PV array. Results confirm that both PV modules are very similar in switch-on time, with an average on-time difference of 2 minutes and 27 seconds.. This indicates that both PV modules start operating at roughly the same time of the day, thereby providing similar current flows which contribute to the optimum performance of a PV array.
Seroepidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Human Adults From Three Rural Communities in Durango State, Mexico (2008)

There is scarce information concerning the epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii infection in people of rural Mexico. Anti-T. gondii immunoglobulin (Ig)G and IgM antibodies were sought in 462 adult inhabitants from 3 rural communities of Durango, Mexico, using enzyme-linked immunoassays. In total, 110 (23.8%) of 463 persons had IgG anti-T. gondii antibodies. Ten (2.2%) of them also had IgM anti-T. gondii antibodies. Prevalences of T. gondii IgG antibodies in the 3 communities varied from 14.8 to 35.8%. The highest prevalence of infection was observed in participants older than 70 yr and in those with good housing conditions. Toxoplasma gondii infection was significantly associated with consumption of squirrel (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 4.22; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.11-16.05) and turkey meat (adjusted OR = 4.58; 95% CI = 1.14-18.44). This is the first epidemiological study of T. gondii prevalence in rural Mexico.
