3D polarization imaging by use of digital holography and transport of intensity (2023)

We present a novel method to extract phase information of a diffuse object illuminated by linearly polarized light. This method involves the combination of off-axis digital holography (DH) and the transport of intensity equation (TIE) where the hologram is recorded with two reference waves that have orthogonal linear polarization states, simultaneously interfered with the object beam illuminated with a random linear polarization state. Thus, phase information of both polarization states can be obtained. This technique of using TIE along with DH reconstruction using Fresnel propagation has been shown as an effective phase unwrapping technique to uncover either the phase of transmissive objects or the topography of contoured objects.
Systemic lupus erythematosus induced by anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha therapy: a French national survey (2005)

The development of drug-induced lupus remains a matter of concern in patients treated with anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) alpha. The incidence of such adverse effects is unknown. We undertook a retrospective national study to analyse such patients. Between June and October 2003, 866 rheumatology and internal medicine practitioners from all French hospital centres prescribing anti-TNF in rheumatic diseases registered on the website of the 'Club Rhumatismes et Inflammation' were contacted by email to obtain the files of patients with TNF-induced systemic lupus erythematosus. Twenty-two cases were collected, revealing two aspects of these manifestations. Ten patients (six patients receiving infliximab, four patients receiving etanercept) only had anti-DNA antibodies and skin manifestations one could classify as 'limited skin lupus' or 'toxidermia' in a context of autoimmunity, whereas 12 patients (nine patients receiving infliximab, three patients receiving etanercept) had more complete drug-induced lupus with systemic manifestations and at least four American Congress of Rheumatology criteria. One patient had central nervous system manifestations. No patients had lupus nephritis. The signs of lupus occurred within a mean of 9 months (range 3-16 months) in patients treated with infliximab and within a mean of 4 months (range 2-5 months) in patients treated with etanercept. In all cases after diagnosis was determined, anti-TNF was stopped and specific treatment introduced in eight patients: two patients received intravenous methylprednisolone, four patients received oral steroids (15-35 mg/day), and two patients received topical steroids. Lupus manifestations abated within a few weeks (median 8 weeks, standard deviation 3-16) in all patients except one with longer-lasting evolution (6 months). At that time, cautious estimations (unpublished data from Schering Plough Inc. and Wyeth Inc.) indicated that about 7700 patients had been exposed to infliximab and 3000 to etanercept for inflammatory arthritides in France. It thus appears that no drug was more implicated than the other in lupus syndromes, whose incidence was 15/7700 = 0.19% with infliximab and 7/3800 = 0.18% with etanercept. Clinicians should be aware that lupus syndromes with systemic manifestations may occur in patients under anti-TNF alpha treatment.
Model of Early Universe with H+2 (2019)

The aim of this thesis is to improve existing models of the Early Universe by adding vibrationally resolved reactions to a standard model. Stancil, Lepp, and Dalgarno (1996, 1998) have developed a standard chemical model for molecules in the Early Universe. Galli and Palla (1998) have shown that vibrational excitation may be important in this model by forcing the vibrational level of H+2 to be either v=0 or v=9. I studied a consistent model for the vibrational levels including level dependent formation and destruction as well as transition between the levels.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation; A Comparative Trial of Low Frequency Treatments (2012)

Clinical registries provide opportunities to thoroughly evaluate implementation of new informatics tools at single institutions. Borrowing strength from multi-institutional data and drawing ideas from causal inference, our analysis solidified greater belief in the effectiveness of this software across our institution.
Is Refractory Celiac Disease More Severe in Old Europe? (2011)

Refractory celiac disease (RCD) is subdivided into two subtypes (RCDI and II), based on a normal or abnormal phenotype of intraepithelial lymphocytes, respectively. RCDII is the most severe form and seems to be more frequently observed in Europe than in the United States. We discussed below the diagnostic criteria of RCDI and RCDII, and the possible factors underlying the more severe expression of celiac disease in Europe.

Comparison of different methods for the determination of dynamic characteristics of low velocity thermal anemometers (2004)

Three methods for determining the dynamic characteristics of low velocity thermal anemometers were compared. They were: step-up velocity change and step-down velocity change methods and a method based on sinusoidal-type velocity fluctuations. Two low velocity thermal anemometers with omnidirectional velocity sensors were tested. The results identify differences in the frequency response of low velocity anemometers determined by the three methods. The time constant and the response time determined by the step-up velocity change method and the step-down velocity change method may be substantially different and insufficient for describing the frequency response of all low velocity thermal anemometers. Therefore the upper frequency, determined in tests with sinusoidal velocity fluctuations, is recommended to be used in indoor climate standards as a single parameter describing the dynamic characteristics of low velocity thermal anemometers. A method for improvement of the frequency response of low velocity anemometers is suggested and validated.

Synergies between Evolutionary and Neural Computation (2005)

Abstract. Evolutionary and neural computation share the same philosophy to use biological information processing for the solution of technical problems. Besides this important but rather abstract common foundation, there have also been many successful combinations of both methods for solving problems as applied as the design of turbomachinery components. In this paper, we will introduce evolutionary algorithms primarily for a “neural ” audience and demonstrate their usefulness for neural computation. Furthermore, we will introduce a list of some more recent trends in combining evolutionary and neural computation, that will show that synergies between the two fields go beyond the typically quoted example of topology optimisation of neural networks. We strive to increase the awareness for these trends in the neural computation community and spark some interest in one or the other of the shown directions. 1
The role of the rodlet structure on the physicochemical properties of Aspergillus conidia (1999)

Physico-chemical properties of Aspergillus conidia rely on their outer cell-wall rodlet layer. In A. fumigatus and A. nidulans, the rodlet structure is due to an hydrophobin encoded by homologous rodA genes. To evaluate the role of the rodlet structure on the physico-chemical properties of conidia, we compared hydrophobicity, Lewis acid-base (i.e. electron donor/acceptor) characteristics and electrostatic charge of hydrophobin-less (rodletless) mutant and wild-type conidia of A. fumigatus and A. nidulans. The results obtained by aqueous-solvent partitioning assays, microsphere adhesion assays and microelectrophoresis showed that the disruption of the rodA gene modifies surface properties of A. fumigatus and A. nidulans conidia, and confirmed that the rodlet layer plays a key role in their physico-chemical behaviour. The absence of this layer on A. fumigatus spores led to the appearance of weakly basic and acidic characteristics, and had a slight effect on the hydrophobicity of conidia. Whereas in A. nidulans, it induced a basic character, a marked decrease in hydrophobicity and in the polarization capacity (electronegativity) of conidia. These physico-chemical differences between A. fumigatus and A. nidulans rodletless conidia may be attributed to differences in the composition of the conidial outer cell-wall of the two species.
Structural Proteins of Adenovirus-Associated Viruses (1971)

The structural proteins of adenovirus-associated virus (AAV) types 1, 2, and 3 were analyzed by acrylamide gel electrophoresis. In each case, one major protein (C) and two minor proteins (A and B) were identified. Component C had an estimated molecular weight of 62,000 daltons, and the molecular weights of components A and B were found to be 87,000 and 73,000 daltons, respectively. Coelectrophoresis of adenovirus and AAV proteins revealed an overlap only between the adenovirus fiber-penton component and the AAV C polypeptide. Among AAV serotypes, homologous components were electrophoretically identical, except that the C component of AAV-2 was of slightly lower molecular weight than the C components of AAV-1 and AAV-3. The relative incorporation of (14)C-arginine and (14)C-mixed amino acids into the three polypeptides of AAV-2 was similar, indicating an absence of an arginine-rich component. In addition, AAV-2 was found to have a substantially lower arginine content than helper adenoviruses.
Sodium zinc hexacyanoferrate with a well-defined open framework as a positive electrode for sodium ion batteries (2012)

A modified Prussian blue analogue, Na(2)Zn(3)[Fe(CN)(6)](2)·xH(2)O, was investigated as a positive electrode material. Utilizing a well-defined channel structure, the compound exhibits a clear electrochemical activity at around 3.5 V vs. Na/Na(+) with a reversible capacity of 56.4 mA h g(-1) and good cycle life.
Quantification of Distention in CT Colonography: Development and Validation of Three Computer Algorithms (2002)

Three bowel distention-measuring algorithms for use at computed tomographic (CT) colonography were developed, validated in phantoms, and applied to a human CT colonographic data set. The three algorithms are the cross-sectional area method, the moving spheres method, and the segmental volume method. Each algorithm effectively quantified distention, but accuracy varied between methods. Clinical feasibility was demonstrated. Depending on the desired spatial resolution and accuracy, each algorithm can quantitatively depict colonic diameter in CT colonography.
OUTCOME OF RADIATION-INDUCED PATHOLOGIC FRACTURES AFTER SURGERY FOR SOFT TISSUE SARCOMAS (2009)

Radiation induced pathologic fractures present a difficult problem for musculoskeletal oncologists. The purpose of this study was to determine the outcomes of management of radiation-induced pathologic fractures in a group of patients who had previously undergone combined management of extremity soft tissue sarcoma. A review of our retrospective database was undertaken. From 1986 to present, thirty-two patients with soft tissue sarcomas were found to have radiation induced pathologic fractures. The records of these patients were reviewed for patient demographics, tumour size and anatomic site, presence of periosteal stripping at time of surgery, radiation dose, time to fracture, fracture treatment and fracture outcome. There were twenty-three females and nine males with a mean age of sixty-three (range thirty-six to eighty-nine) years. Fractures occurred at a mean of forty-five months after resection of the sarcoma (range three to one hundred and fifty months). Anatomic distribution of fractures were : proximal femur(twelve), femoral diaphysis (eight), distal femur (two) tibia (five), acetabulum (two), metatarsal (two) and patella (one). Periosteal stripping was performed in half of the patients. Twenty-three patients had received high dose radiation (6600Gy). Seven fractures were managed conservatively while twenty-five were treated surgically. Only eleven of the thirty-two fractures united. Six patients underwent amputation, three for local recurrence and three for non-union of their fracture. Eight patients ultimately underwent arthroplasty, while seven patients have persistent non-unions. In the proximal femur, only three out of twelve fractures healed while six patients eventually underwent arthroplasty and three continue to have non-unions. Of eight femoral diaphyseal fractures, only one united. Patients who eventually underwent prosthetic replacement had good function and pain relief. Radiation induced pathologic fractures are a difficult clinical problem. In particular patients with fractures in the proximal femur often undergo multiple attempts at fixation before definitive management with resection and endoprosthetic replacement. Fractures of the femoral diaphysis rarely heal despite aggressive surgical management. Primary arthroplasty may be considered in some patients as an alternative to fixation in radiation-induced pathologic fractures of the femur in order to avoid long term morbidity and repeated operations.
Design Concepts for Disposal of Power Station Ash as a High Concentration Slurry (1993)

Theoretical arguments and pilot plant results have shown that the transport of fly-furnace ash from the power station to the disposal area as a high concentration slurry is technically viable and economically attractive. Further, lack of free water, when transported as a high concentration slurry, offers significant advantages in environmental management and rehabilitation of the disposal site. This paper gives a basis for the above observations and discusses the plans to exploit the above advantages at the Stanwell Power Station (4 x 350 MWe). This will be operated by the Queensland Electricity Commission. The first unit came into operation in 1992 and other units are to follow progressively on a yearly basis.
MODIFICATION AND FURTHER EVALUATION OF AN EQUATION FOR PREDICTING POPULATIONS OF CURCULIO CARYAE (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE) (1977)

Abstract An equation developed in 1972 and 1973 for predicting the number of adult pecan weevils, Curculio caryae (Horn), in pecan trees was modified to include natural survival and evaluated for estimating weevil population and for determining the initiation of control measures. This method of scheduling insecticide applications resulted in a lower infestation of pecan weevil than jarring, the most commonly used sampling method, with the same number of insecticide applications. The use of a prediction equation for estimating C . caryae populations to determine economic thresholds looks promising for the researcher, grower, or pest management specialist.
GridFTP-APT: automatic parallelism tuning mechanism for data transfer protocol GridFTP (2006)

GridFTP has been used as a data transfer protocol to effectively transfer a large volume of data in grid computing. GridFTP supports a feature called parallel data transfer that improves throughput by establishing multiple TCP connections in parallel. However, for achieving high GridFTP throughput, the number of TCP connections should be optimized based on the network status. In this paper, we propose an automatic parallelism tuning mechanism called GridFTP-APT (GridFTP with automatic parallelism tuning) that adjusts the number of parallel TCP connections only using information measurable in the grid middleware. Through simulation experiments, we demonstrate that GridFTP-APT significantly improves the performance of GridFTP in various network environments.

Evolution of Russian Microgravity Countermeasures (2015)

Countermeasures to prevent or partially offset the negative physiologic changes that are caused by the effects of microgravity play an important role in supporting the performance of crewmembers in flight and their safe return to Earth. Research conducted in Russia on the orbital stations Salyut and Mir, as well as simulation experiments on the ground, have demonstrated that changes that occur during extended spaceflight in various physiologic systems can be prevented or significantly decreased by using countermeasures. Hardware and techniques used on the ISS have been substantially improved to reflect the experience of previous extended missions on Russian orbital stations. Countermeasures used during early ISS missions consisted of the U.S. treadmill (TVIS), cycle ergometer (ВБ-3), a set of resistance bands, a postural muscle loading suit (Penguin-3), electrical stimulator (Tonus-3), compression thigh cuffs (Braslet-М), a lower body negative pressure (LBNP) suit (Chibis), a lower body g-loading suit (Kentavr), and water/salt supplements. These countermeasures are described in this article.
Separation Control Using Plasma Actuators: Steady Flow in Low Pressure Turbines (2011)

A Dielectric Barrier Discharge plasma actuator is operated in flow over the suction surface of a Pack-B Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) airfoil at a Reynolds number of 50,000 (based on exit velocity and suction surface length) and inlet free-stream turbulence intensity of 2.5%. Measurements of total pressure using a glass total-pressure tube are taken. Corrections for streamline displacement due to shear and wall effects are made, and comparisons with previous hot-wire measurements are used to validate data. Measurements from previous work have shown that separation control is possible without stream-wise momentum addition, by adding disturbances that cause transition in the separated shear layer. The present results are from measurements taken using a glass dielectric, with a conventional two-electrode geometry, and a new three-electrode geometry. The region of high momentum flow produced due to the presence of the actuator is found to be above the shear layer, and not at the wall. The near-suction-surface total pressure field in the trailing part of the airfoil passage and its wall-normal gradient are used to demonstrate effective prevention of flow separation using the plasma actuator.
Clinical Use of Rivaroxaban: Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Rationale for Dosing Regimens in Different Indications (2014)

Target-specific oral anticoagulants have become increasingly available as alternatives to traditional agents for the management of a number of thromboembolic disorders. To date, the direct Factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban is the most widely approved of the new agents. The dosing of rivaroxaban varies and adheres to specific schedules in each of the clinical settings in which it has been investigated. These regimens were devised based on the results of phase II dose-finding studies and/or pharmacokinetic modeling, and were demonstrated to be successful in randomized, phase III studies. In most cases, the pharmacodynamic profile of rivaroxaban permits once-daily dosing. A once-daily dose is indicated for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery, the long-term prevention of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, and the long-term secondary prevention of recurrent VTE. Twice-daily dosing is required in the acute phase of treatment in patients with VTE and in the combination of rivaroxaban with standard single or dual antiplatelet therapy for secondary prevention after acute coronary syndrome events. This article reviews the empirical and clinical rationale supporting the dose regimens of rivaroxaban in each clinical setting.
