Effect of β-Glucooligosaccharides on the Human Intestinal Microflora (1993)

The effect of β-glucooligosaccharides on the human intestinal microflora was studied. The syrup containing β-glucooligosaccharides was produced from glucose syrup as the raw material with the reactions of transglucosylation and condensation of microbial β-glucosidase . β-glucooligosaccharides were selectively utilized by Bifidobacterium spp., Lactobacillus spp. except L. fermentum and L. salivarius group, and Mitsuokella multiacidus group ; however, almost all of Eubacterium spp., Fusobacterium spp. and Clostridium perfringens group could notutilize the saccharides. The administration of β-glucooligosaccharides (4 g daily for 10 days) promoted the growth of Bifidobacteria and lowered fecal pH, in vivo. Furthermore, the volunteers never had diarrhea or flatulence and the consistency of feces was improved. From these results, it was suggested that β-glucooligosaccharides might be utilized as brandnew oligosaccharides for the improvement of intestinal microflora.

Australian Initiatives in Photovoltaic Engineering Education (2020)

The Australian Government is responding to the growing concerns for the environment with a range of new initiatives. In the educational area, it has established a Key Centre for Teaching and Research in Photovoltaic Engineering with the primary new initiative being to develop and establish new undergraduate engineering programs in photovoltaics and renewable energy. The first new degree commenced in March 2000 at the University of New South Wales. The second undergraduate degree implementation is in Western Australia at Murdoch University. Despite these two institutions being located on the opposite coastlines of Australia, many of the educational units developed at these two institutions will be shared by making them available on-line via the Internet for cross-enrolments. Both programs introduce a range of teaching innovations including exposure to state of the art commercial and high performance solar cell technology, the use of interactive multimedia CD ROMs, Internet delivery, the implementation and use of a virtual production line for solar cell manufacturing and &quot;hands-on&quot; work with photovoltaic and other renewable energy systems. The programs will train engineers in all aspects of photovoltaic and renewable energy engineering. Excellent industry, end-user, government and host institution support (cash and in-kind), is being provided.

Drop foot after high tibial osteotomy: a prospective study of aetiological factors (2004)

Abstract Drop foot is not uncommon after high tibial osteotomy for genu varum. The authors report their results of a prospective study of 16 patients operated on between May 1990 and May 1991. All patients had medial femoro‐tibial osteoarthritis with a constitutional genu varum. They all had a subtraction valgus high tibial osteotomy fixed by a blade plate. The experimental protocol included clinical review, antero‐lateral compartment pressure measurements, intra‐ and post‐operative electromyography, assessment of the post‐operative drainage, serum estimation of muscle ensymes and post‐operative arteriography. From their own results and a literature review, the authors consider successively the different aetiological factors for post‐operative drop foot. Certain deficits occur due to direct trauma on the nerve during high osteotomy of the fibula, by local high pressure due to poor haemostasis or ineffective drainage. In addition, there are several related phenomena. The pneumatic tourniquet ssensitises the nerve to trauma, and stretching of the nerve during correction of the deformation depends on the local anatomical factors and their marked variation. In order to diminish the frequency of these post‐operative complications, the authors suggest limiting the surgical approach, and limiting as far as possible the traumatic manoeuvres on the nerve by using a tibial resection jig, which allows correction without forced manoeuvres. Finally, the authors discuss the benefits of using a pneumatic tourniquet.
Reduction of Arcobacter at Two Conventional Wastewater Treatment Plants in Southern Arizona, USA (2019)

This study aimed to identify the bacterial community in two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and to determine the occurrence and reduction of <i>Arcobacter</i>, along with virulence genes (<i>ciaB</i> and <i>pldA</i>). A total of 48 samples (24 influent and 24 effluent) were collected at two WWTPs in southern Arizona in the United States, monthly from August 2011 to July 2012. Bacterial DNA extract was utilized for 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing. Quantification of <i>Arcobacter</i> 16S rRNA gene was conducted using a recently developed SYBR Green-based quantitative PCR assay<i>.</i> Among 847 genera identified, 113 (13%) were identified as potentially pathogenic bacteria. <i>Arcobacter</i> 16S rRNA gene was detected in all influent samples and ten (83%) and nine (75%) effluent samples at each plant, respectively. Log reduction ratios of <i>Arcobacter</i> 16S rRNA gene in Plant A and Plant B were 1.7 ± 0.9 (<i>n</i> = 10) and 2.3 ± 1.5 (<i>n</i> = 9), respectively. The <i>ciaB</i> gene was detected by quantitative PCR in eleven (92%) and twelve (100%) of 12 influent samples from Plant A and Plant B, respectively, while the <i>pldA</i> gene was detected in eight (67%) and six (50%) influent samples from Plant A and Plant B, respectively. The prevalence of potentially pathogenic bacteria in WWTP effluent indicated the need for disinfection before discharge into the environment.
Network Coding-Based Block ACK for Wireless Relay Networks (2011)

This paper considers block acknowledgement (BACK) mechanisms in wireless regenerative relay networks. Conventionally, a total of (2N+1) BACK packets are required in wireless regenerative N-relay networks to acknowledge the data transmission between the source and destination via the relays. In this paper, based on network coding (NC) we propose an efficient BACK scheme to significantly reduce the required acknowledgement load by N BACK packets. Importantly, by deriving the error probability of the determination of the packets to be retransmitted at the source or relays, it is found that the utilised NC helps improve the reliability of BACK transmissions. Furthermore, some asymptotic scenarios of the forward links are considered and a general expression of error probability in multi-relay networks is derived for each scenario. Finally, simulation results are shown to verify the analytical findings.
Daily Exercise Patterns and Their Differences between Parkinson’s Disease Patients with and without Postural Instability (2022)

PD patients focused mostly on aerobic exercises, especially active walking. With the disease progression, the amount and intensity of exercise decreased while frequency remained. Higher intensity of exercise is needed in the mild PD group, while the advanced PD group requires the increment of duration for each exercise session.
Iterative Learning enhanced Integral Terminal Sliding Mode Control for Precision Motion Systems (2021)

The rapid development and applications of precision motion systems pose a great challenge on tracking performance improvement to complete various industrial or scientific tasks. In this paper, an iterative learning enhanced integral terminal sliding mode control (IL- ITSMC) is developed to further enhance the performance of such systems under repetitive trajectory and disturbance. For the generally used second-order model in precision motion systems, an integral terminal sliding surface is utilized to improve the steady-state performance and robustness to unexpected disturbance. A novel reaching law is also designed to realize the finite-time convergence of the sliding surface. In addition, an iterative learning law is proposed based on the sliding surface to compensate the repetitive term through updating the feedforward control input iteratively. The stability in time domain and convergence in iterative domain are proven theoretically based on the well-known Lyapunov theory, respectively. The simulation results on a pizeo-actuated stage with hysteresis nonlinearity demonstrate that the proposed IL-ITSMC achieves the best tracking performance through comparisons, and the convergence speed is improved significantly in comparison with ITSMC with traditional P-type ILC (PIL- ITSMC) for a 10Hz sinusoidal repetitive trajectory.
Network-level metric measuring delay propagation in networks of interdependent systems (2010)

The development and acquisition of complex systems that are driven, in part, by system-of-systems requirements remains a challenge in the defense sector due to complexities in both program management and engineering design. The interdependencies between component systems often result in complex networks that, while enabling capabilities that are beyond those of individual systems, also increase risk and its consequences. When systems are interdependent, disruptions in the development of one system can easily propagate to systems directly or indirectly dependent on them. Characteristics of component systems, interdependencies, and risk can lead to disruptions that propagate differently in different networks. This paper presents an approach to compare the performance of such networks with respect to their ability to arrest the propagation of disruptions. A network-level metric enables the comparison of different network topologies that provide the same capability but have different risk properties.
The Chemical Sciences and Health: Strengthening Synergies at a Vital Interface (2017)

The indispensable contributions to health made by the chemical sciences have become increasingly constrained by three systemic factors. These involve fragmentations: in the way that the chemicals sciences are structured, practiced, and inter-related to aspects of health; in the combination of public and private efforts delivering medicinal products; and in the regulatory systems which oversee health-related issues across health, food, and the environment. Interlinked systemic reforms are advocated, involving (1) recontextualization of the chemistry/health interface through creating a recognized field of "the chemical sciences and health"; (2) determined and comprehensive efforts, by countries wishing to retain or strengthen their pharmaceutical development capacities, to reinforce their education, research, and innovation eco-systems; and (3) adoption of an integrated approach to the regulation of pharmaceuticals, food, and the environment.
Post‐transplant proteinuria associated with everolimus: Definition of main features with proteomics (2008)

Little is known on both the composition and mechanism(s) of proteinuria associated with the use of mTOR inhibitors, in particular of Everolimus (E). We characterized urinary proteins utilizing an integrated proteomics approach (quantitative essays, 2-DE, MALDI-TOF, Western blot) in 48 renal transplant recipients who were alternatively treated with E (n = 31) or with enteric coated mycophenolic acid (EC-MPA) (n = 17). Twelve E patients (39%) developed high (>3 g/day) or intermediate proteinuria (1-3 g) compared to four (23%) of the EC-MPA group. Urinary proteins (p<0.001), β2 microglobulin (p<0.001) and α1microglobulin (p<0.025) were higher in E than in EC-MPA, appeared more rapidly and were inversely correlated with the day of treatment. Proteomics showed a marked increase of all urinary components in E and EC-MPA patients, major changes involving typical components of glomerular damage (albumin, α1-Zn glycoprotein, α2HS glycoprotein, leucin-richα2-glycoprotein) and specific bio-markers for E (clusters of α1-antitrypsin fragments and monoclonal λ chains). Finally, inter-α-trypsin-inhibitor heavy chain H4 precursor was decreased in E and EC-MPA urine compared to normal urine. In conclusion, E induced massive and generalized proteinuria of mixed glomerular and tubular origin that was correlated with the start of treatment and reached a nephrotic range in few cases. Specific urinary markers reflect renal alterations related to the transplant or specific alterations associated with the drug.
NANETS Consensus Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Neuroendocrine Tumors (2010)

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the thorax, including bronchial and thymic neuroendocrine NETs, are often referred to as NETs of the foregut. The incidence and prevalence of NETs are increasing in the United States as demonstrated in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results from 1973 to 2004 (J Clin Oncol. 2008;26[18]:3063-3072). Although the majority of bronchial and thymic NETs are sporadic, approximately 5% to 10% can be associated with hereditary syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasms type 1 (Nat Rev Cancer. 2005;5[5]:367-375). Diagnosis is made by tissue pathology, allowing for characterization and classification of the NET. Radiologic evaluation is performed to determine the extent of disease involvement. Clinical symptoms from hormonal overproduction or from paraneoplastic processes are medically managed to improve patients' quality of life. Locoregional disease can be curative with surgery; however, distant or metastatic disease is rarely curable. Therapeutic options for metastatic/advanced NETs of the thorax are mainly to palliate symptoms. Final treatment recommendations for patients with either bronchial or thymic NETs should be individualized, weighing the risks and benefits of therapy.
Hypothermic storage of equine isolated hepatocytes. (2007)

The aim of the study was to establish the optimal methods for hypothermic storage of equine isolated hepatocytes. Viability of equine isolated hepatocytes after hypothermic storage was dependent on the type of storage medium as well as on the cell density in the storage suspension and the preservation period. Hepatocytes stored at 4 degrees C in Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) and Williams' Medium E (WE) for 24 h showed very low viability, numerous cell membrane blebs, very low attachment rate (11.9 +/- 6.5% and 34.8 +/- 19.1%, respectively) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction rate (6.4 +/- 3.9% and 25.1 +/- 14.8%, respectively). In contrast, hepatocytes stored in University of Wisconsin Solution (UW) after 24 h of storage at a density of 12.5 x 10(6) cells/ml showed high viability (over 70%), typical and intact morphology, high cell attachment rates and MTT reduction. Our findings clearly demonstrate that UW is a good preservation solution for equine isolated hepatocytes. Hepatocytes harvested from slaughterhouse organs can be stored at 4 degrees C in UW at a density of 12.5 x 10(6) cells/ml for at least 24 h without significant decrease in functional integrity.
Calidad de sueño en sujetos con diferentes patrones habituales de sueño (2003)

El presente estudio analiza si el patron o duracion habitual del sueno influye en diversos parametros de calidad de sueno. Participaron en el estudio 141 voluntarios sanos de 17 a 29 anos, 19 de ellos con patron de sueno corto, 64 con patron intermedio y 58 con patron largo. Como indices de calidad de sueno, se evaluaron a traves de un cuestionario la latencia de sueno, el numero de despertares nocturnos y la frecuencia de siestas, asi como la duracion de estos ultimos. Los resultados muestran que la latencia de sueno es superior en los sujetos con patron de sueno largo que en los restantes patrones de sueno. Tanto los sujetos con patron de sueno largo como intermedio duermen siestas con mas frecuencia que aquellos con patron de sueno corto, aunque la duracion de tales siestas es bastante mayor en los sujetos con patron de sueno largo. Se discuten los hallazgos en relacion con la reciente literatura sobre los efectos de los patrones de sueno en la salud, y se sugiere que algunas de las asociaciones entre los sujetos con patron de sueno largo y el padecimiento de salud pobre podrian estar mediadas por la peor calidad de sueno que presenta este grupo.
Subpicosecond Spectroscopy of CuCl Nanocrystals in NaCl (1995)

In CuCl nanocrystals, we observed the nonlinear change in the exciton absorption spectra and the appearance of the structures (gain and loss) near the energy region of biexciton luminescence band using the subpicosecond pump-and-probe method under high intensity excitation at 2K and 77K. We observed the decay time of the exciton absorption change at 2K to be about 1ns, twice as large as that at 77K. We found out that the peak positions of the gain and the loss differed in energy at 2K, while they had the same energy at 77K. Taking into account of the luminescence and their time behavior, we got the evidence that the transitions from the biexciton state to “bound” and “free” exciton states occur simultaneously at 2K.
New laser sources for plastic optical fibers: ZnSe-based quantum well and quantum dot laser diodes with 560-nm emission (2001)

The optimization of the active region of ZnSe-based laser diodes for laser emission around a wavelength of 560 nm is reported. Two concepts are presented: quaternary CdZnSSe quantum wells with a high Cd content and CdSe quantum dots. With quantum well devices output powers of more than 1 W are realized. The first electrically pumped CdSe quantum dot laser is presented. The electroluminescence dynamics under current injection of these devices allow lasing operation only in pulsed-mode with pulse widths around 50 ns. Although the threshold current density of the quantum dot laser is around 7 kA/cm(superscript 2, lasing operation can be sustained up to 20 kA/cm(superscript 2 indicating a so far unexpected stability of II-VI material against current injection.

Total modular wrist prosthesis: a new design (2004)

Fifteen women who had isolated congenital vaginal agenesis reconstructed by the split skin inlay grafting technique at a mean age of 19 (0.5) years, were followed up 2-33 years after the operation. The reconstruction had been functionally successful in all patients. No patient reported dyspareunia, exceptional dryness, or disturbing vaginal discharge. All the women had established normal, stable relationships with men. Their general recollection of the hospital stay and treatment was favourable. The importance of a thorough preoperative and postoperative explanation was emphasised by the patients, as well as their wish for long term contact with a specialist in gynaecology who was well aware of their special problems. In conclusion, the good functional results have been accompanied by stable social and psychological relationships.
Quiescent power supply current measurement for CMOS IC defect detection (1989)

Quiescent power supply current (I/sub DDQ/) measurement is a very effective technique for detecting in CMOS integrated circuits (ICs). This technique uniquely detects certain CMOS IC defects such as gate oxide shorts, defective p-n junctions, and parasitic transistor leakage. In addition, I/sub DDQ/ monitoring will detect all stuck-at faults with the advantage of using a node toggling test set that has fewer test vectors than a stuck-at test set. Individual CMOS ICs from three different fabrication sites had a unique pattern or fingerprint of elevated I/sub DDQ/ states for a given test set. When I/sub DDQ/ testing was added to conventional functional test sets, the percentage increase in failures ranged from 60% to 182% for a sample of microprocessor, RAM, and ROM CMOS ICs.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
High Concentration Reflexive System With Fluid Dielectric (2008)

Current availability of solar cells with efficiencies proven to be close to 40% offers a decisive opportunity to reduce the cost of photovoltaic energy. These cells, which are based on III-V semiconductors, are able to be operated at very high concentration (higher than 1000X) where they become cost effective. Therefore, an optical concentrator must be developed in order to achieve a global system with acceptable efficiency and cost. It must provide high concentration, wide acceptance angle, high efficiency and, if possible, a compact design which reduces the size and weight of the system. To get concentration exceeding 1000X a new system concept (FluidReflex) based on one-step reflexive optics has been designed. The reflexive surface is an aspheric mirror in which the high efficiency cell is placed at its focus. The volume delimited by the cell’s plane and the reflexive surface is filled with a fluid dielectric with the underlying benefits. The heat flux generated at the cell is dissipated by natural or forced convection in the fluid avoiding the need of cooling elements, and consequently the shadows casted by them. In addition, the fluid acts as a refractive index adapter reducing Fresnel losses in the interfaces.
RP-HPLC-PDA Method for the Analysis of Terbutaline sulphate in Bulk, Dosage forms and in Dissolution samples (2013)

The aim of the present work was to develop and validate a simple, efficient, economical and LC-MS compatible method for the analysis of Terbutaline sulphate in bulk, dosage forms and in dissolution samples of Terbutaline sulphate tablets by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography. A C18 reverse phase column (Phenomenex) of 250 x 4.6mm dimensions and 5µm particle size with mobile phase containing 15mM ammonium acetate: methanol (70:30% v/v) was used at isocratic mode binary pump and eluents were monitored at 220nm. The retention time of Terbutaline sulphate was 4.1min and showed a good linearity in the concentration range of 2-10µg/mL with a correlation coefficient >0.999. The validation characteristics included specificity, linearity, and limit of detection, limit of quantification, precision, robustness and stability. Validation acceptance criteria were met in all cases. The percent recoveries ranged between 98-102%, RSD < 2%. The method could be successfully used for the analysis of Terbutaline sulphate in bulk, dosage forms and in dissolution samples of marketed Terbutaline sulphate tablets.
