Effects of Digging, Storage and Planting On Survival of Field Grown Bare-Root Mugo Pine in Containers (1983)

Northern grown mugo pine Pinus mugo Turra. ‘Mughus’ died following the first 2 field digging dates when planted in containers. However, plants dug the last 4 dates survived and grew well. These data suggest that mugo pine can be dug bare-root in the fall, stored or planted into containers in the fall when labor is available with acceptable survival and performance if the plants are not dug too early. Root pruning had no effect on survival.

Congenital Cutaneous Defects as Complications in Surviving Co-twins (1998)

Congenital cutaneous defects may result in the death of a co-twin. The most common of these defects is aplasia cutis congenita associated with a fetus papyraceus or a dead fetus related to ischemic/thrombotic events in the placenta and fetus. Volkmann ischemic contracture is rare in the newborn but can cause neonatal cutaneous defects. The cause of Volkmann ischemic contracture in newborns is unknown; however, our second observation suggests the possible role of a dead fetus.
Inhibition of p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Reduces Inflammation After Coronary Vascular Injury in Humans (2010)

In the setting of statin therapy, SB-681323 significantly attenuated the post-PCI inflammatory response, as measured by hsCRP. This inflammatory dampening implicates p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in the poststent response, potentially defining an avenue to limit poststent restenosis.
Mobile Device Administration for Secure and Manageable Health Data Collection in Under-Resourced Areas (2016)

Healthcare delivery in under-resourced areas is critical to the future economic health of these countries, and healthcare data collection is an essential part of managing this delivery. The Medea system has been developed to support data collection on mobile devices, while addressing issues of manageability and security in healthcare data collection and delivery. The Medea approach is based on a compiler (Aeetes) that generates new data collection apps from declarative specifications, a security architecture to protect the confidentiality of patient data in case of device compromise, and a supporting app infrastructure that supports deployment in settings without local server support. Manageability is achieved by centralizing the management of the infrastructure, using remote management of mobile devices to provide IT support to deployments in relatively isolated and under-served locations.
Discovering trends in text databases (1997)

교통과 도시 공간형태 (1986)

Urban spatial form is determined by human efforts to overcome the distance between population arid the facilities required for their productive activities. Hence the importance of transportation in determining the form of urban life `and space. This study examines how the factors determining urban spatial form adopt itself to the changing trar~sportationpatterns, and how the urban spatial form itself changes according to the changes in the transportation patterns. Transportation controls the spatial distribution of population and facilities. When walking is the only transportation available, it tends to seek the greatest possible efficiency inurban life by reducing the total distance between population and facilities: population becomes concentrated around the facilities, the urban areal size restricted to the distance accessible by walking, and the urban spatial form circular. When transportation other than walking is available, the distance between population and facilities is overcome by the accessibility of transportation devices. The urban areal size increases as the accessibility of transportation device becomes greater.. Facilities become concentrated around the center of the city where the accessibility is the greatest. Population disperses throughout the expanded urban area. The degree of dispersion depends upon the accessibilty and the characteristics of the transportation mainly used. Thus the urban spatial form in the period of mass transportation is radial, and that in the period of individual transportation (especially automobile) is multi-neuclei pattern. And the areal size of CBD increases as transportation develops. But transportation is not the only determinant of urban spatial form. There are political, economic, cultural and social factors as well as that of transportation. Needless to say, future studies must consider those factors not examined in this study but important n forming the actual urban spatial form.
Nonpharmacological treatment for Alzheimer's disease: A mind-brain approach (2000)

A new paradigm is needed thatfocuses on minimizing the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias rather than focusing only on a search for a cure. To include Alzheimer 's in the same class of diseases as can cer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, congestive heartfailure, and degenerative arthritis places Alzheimer's in the realm of the medically and psychosocially understandable and manageable. A criticalfirst step toward making this shift is to examine carefully the way in which we define the disease. An approach to care for people with Alzheimer's results in treatment when it systematically compensates forfunctional losses of dementia by linking caregiving actions and environments to specific brain dysfunctions; namely, the neuropathology of the disease. The ultimate measures of success of such a treatment approach are improved quality of life, delayed institutionalization, slowed rate of progression of the disease, people who achieve their potential, and reduced needfor medication.

Stochastic optimization techniques for NDE of bridges using vibration signatures (2003)

A baseline model updating is the first step for the model-based non destructive evaluation for civil infrastructures. Many researches have been drawn to obtain a more reliable baseline model. In this study, heuristic optimization techniques (or called as stochastic optimization techniques) including the genetic algorithm, the simulated annealing, and the tabu search, were have been investigated for constructing the reliable baseline model for an instrumented new highway bridge, and also were compared with the result of conventional sensitivity method. The preliminary finite element model of the bridge was successfully updated to a baseline model based on measured vibration data.
Analyzing web text association to disambiguate abbreviation in queries (2008)

We introduce a statistical model for abbreviation disambiguation in Web search, based on analysis of Web data resources, including anchor text, click log and query log. By combining evidence from multiple sources, we are able to accurately disambiguate the abbreviation in queries. Experiments on real Web search queries show promising results.
Activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase by D2 receptor prevents apoptosis in dopaminergic cell lines (2003)

Whereas dopamine agonists are known to provide symptomatic benefits for Parkinson's disease, recent clinical trials suggest that they might also be neuroprotective. Laboratory studies demonstrate that dopamine agonists can provide neuroprotective effects in a number of model systems, but the role of receptor-mediated signalling in these effects is controversial. We find that dopamine agonists have robust, concentration-dependent anti-apoptotic activity in PC12 cells that stably express human D(2L) receptors from cell death due to H(2)O(2) or trophic withdrawal and that the protective effects are abolished in the presence of D(2)-receptor antagonists. D(2) agonists are also neuroprotective in the nigral dopamine cell line SN4741, which express endogenous D(2) receptors, whereas no anti-apoptotic activity is observed in native PC12 cells, which do not express detectable D(2) receptors. Notably, the agonists studied differ in their relative efficacy to mediate anti-apoptotic effects and in their capacity to stimulate [(35)S]guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate ([(35)S]GTP[S]) binding, an indicator of G-protein activation. Studies with inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), extracellular-signal-regulated kinase or p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase indicate that the PI 3-kinase pathway is required for D(2) receptor-mediated cell survival. These studies indicate that certain dopamine agonists can complex with D(2) receptors to preferentially transactivate neuroprotective signalling pathways and to mediate increased cell survival.
Novel Carbazol-Pyridine-Carbonitrile Derivative as Excellent Blue Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitter for Highly Efficient Organic Light-Emitting Devices (2015)

A novel blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter, CPC (2,6-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-4-phenylpyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile), was designed and synthesized. By directly linking carbazole (to serve as electron-donor) and pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (to serve as electron-acceptor), and distributing cyanogroups and carbazole groups at the para-position of pyridine core, CPC successfully achieves an extremely small singlet-triplet splitting and fairish photoluminescence quantum yield, thus can act as the highly efficient blue TADF emitter. The optimized organic light-emitting diode (OLED) based on 13 wt % CPC doped in mCP (1,3-bis(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzene) host exhibits maximum current efficiency, power efficiency, and external quantum efficiency of 47.7 cd A(-1), 42.8 lm W(-1), and 21.2%, respectively, which are the best results in reported blue TADF-based devices up to date and even comparable with the best reported blue phosphorescent OLEDs.
Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (1997)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of twin and singleton pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and to compare the groups to evaluate for differences in these areas. In this retrospective study, patients with a gestational age of <36 weeks admitted between 1993 and 1996 with PROM were evaluated for their clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes. Twin and singleton pregnancies were compared and the results were evaluated for significant differences. Patients with lethal fetal anomalies, clinical chorioamnionitis at presentation, or fetal distress at presentation were excluded from analysis. Liberal use of tocolysis was provided to both groups of patients, as were serial doses of betamethasone and vitamin K. Twenty-eight sets of twins and 119 singleton pregnancies were included in the analysis. Differences were noted with respect to twin and singleton pregnancies for both latency period (4.26 days vs 8.6 days, P < 0.001) and birthweight (1,464 vs 1,698 g, P < 0.03). The birthweight for twins was an average of the pair. No differences were noted with respect to gestational age at time of rupture, maternal age, gravidity, parity, race, tocolytic use, steroid use, prophylactic antibiotics, or sexually transmitted diseases. The incidence of chorioamnionitis showed a trend for a higher occurrence in singleton pregnancies. The latency period for twin pregnancies complicated by preterm PROM is shorter than for singleton pregnancies. The incidence of chorioamnionitis may be higher in singleton pregnancies, but this may be related to their longer latency period. A knowledge of these differences may be of benefit when counseling these patients.
Les actualités marquantes du congrès Targeted Anticancer Therapies — TAT 2016 (2016)

Le congrès TAT (targeted anticancer therapies) est dédié aux essais précoces et aux molécules innovantes en cours de développement. La session 2016 a permis d’apercevoir le futur de l’immunothérapie antitumorale et des thérapies ciblées. Agir sur l’immunité antitumorale implique de relever de nombreux défis : mieux sélectionner les patients, comprendre les interactions avec le microbiome, développer des approches combinées et des traitements par lymphocytes autologues modifiés. Les développements des thérapies ciblées sont également porteurs de nombreuses promesses, grâce à la généralisation du profilage moléculaire des tumeurs et à de nombreuses avancées dans le traitement des cancers porteurs d’altérations du métabolisme, du cycle cellulaire ou des mécanismes de réparation de l’ADN. De nouvelles stratégies thérapeutiques permettent également de commencer à cibler KRAS ou p53. Enfin, la prise en charge des métastases cérébrales nécessite de proposer des approches innovantes.
A New Technology for Detecting Cerebral Blood Flow: A Comparative Study of Ultrasound Tagged NIRS (2012)

There is a need for real-time non-invasive, continuous monitoring of cerebral blood flow (CBF) during surgery, in intensive care units and clinical research. We investigated a new non-invasive hybrid technology employing ultrasound tagged near infrared spectroscopy (UT-NIRS) that may estimate changes in CBF using a cerebral blood flow index (CFI). Changes over time for UT-NIRS CFI and 133 Xenon single photon emission computer tomography ( 133 Xe-SPECT) CBF data were assessed in 10 healthy volunteers after an intravenous bolus of acetazolamide. UT-NIRS CFI was measured continu- ously and SPECT CBF was measured at baseline, 15 and 60 min after acetazolamide. We found significant changes over time in CFI by UT-NIRS and CBF by SPECT after acetazolamide (P B 0.001). Post hoc tests showed a sig- nificant increase in CFI (P = 0.011) and SPECT CBF (P < 0.001) at 15 min after acetazolamide injection. There was a significant correlation between CFI and SPECT CBF values (r = 0.67 and P B 0.033) at 15 min, but not at 60 min (P C 0.777). UT-NIRS detected an increase in CFI following an acetazolamide bolus, which correlated with CBF measured with 133 Xe-SPECT. This
Experimental Investigation of 3D-Printed Elastomeric Dampers (2022)

The increasing use of tall buildings worldwide has led to rising demand for strategies to control lateral displacements in these buildings. Viscoelastic Damper (VED) devices are passive systems that depend on energy dissipation through a constrained viscoelastic material. This study aims to study the effect of angle orientation of the infill pattern on the energy dissipation of the 3D-printed Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) VED device. The mechanical and viscoelastic properties of 3D-printed TPU with a rectilinear infill pattern printed at three angles were investigated using cyclic uniaxial tension tests. The VED with 3D-printed TPU was subjected to sinusoidal signals with varying frequencies and strain amplitudes to examine its energy dissipation capabilities. The tests showed that the 3D-printed VED is capable of dissipating energy with good efficiency.
Scheduling of Sensor Transmissions Based on Value of Information for Summary Statistics (2022)

The optimization of Value of Information (VoI) in sensor networks integrates awareness of the measured process in the communication system. However, most existing scheduling algorithms do not consider the specific needs of monitoring applications, but define VoI as a generic Mean Square Error (MSE) of the whole system state regardless of the relevance of individual components. In this letter, we consider different summary statistics, i.e., different functions of the state, which can represent the useful information for a monitoring process, particularly in safety and industrial applications. We propose policies that minimize the estimation error for different summary statistics, showing significant gains by simulation.
Supplementary Data from Proteasome Subunits Differentially Control Myeloma Cell Viability and Proteasome Inhibitor Sensitivity (2023)

&lt;p&gt;Ten end stage patients.&lt;/p&gt;
[Environment and nasal hyperreactivity]. (1999)

The nasal mucosa is densely innervated by sensory nerve fibres which play an important part in the protection of the lower airways. Protective reflexes such as sneezing, secretion and nasal congestion can be elicited by exogenous noxious particles and numerous airborne irritants. The functions of the nasal mucosa is influenced at least in part, by biologically active neuropeptides that are released from sensory nerves endings. These sensory neuropeptides are involved in local vasodilatation, vascular permeability and mucus secretion. In addition, these neuropeptides are chemotactic for inflammatory cells such as eosinophiles and granulocytes. Therefore, neuropeptides of sensory origin are most likely involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms of specific (allergy) as well as non specific nasal hyperreactivity.
An Evaluation of the TRIPS Computer System (Extended Technical Report) (2008)

Abstract : The TRIPS system employs a new instruction set architecture (ISA) called Explicit Data Graph Execution(EDGE) that renegotiates the boundary between hardware and software to expose and exploitconcurrency. EDGE ISAs use a block-atomic execution model in which blocks are composed of dataflowinstructions. The goal of the TRIPS design is to mine concurrency for high performance while toleratingemerging technology scaling challenges, such as increasing wire delays and power consumption. Thispaper evaluates how well TRIPS meets this goal through a detailed ISA and performance analysis. Wecompare performance, using cycles counts, to commercial processors. On SPEC CPU2000, the Intel Core2 outperforms compiled TRIPS code in most cases, although TRIPS matches a Pentium 4. On simplebenchmarks, compiled TRIPS code outperforms the Core 2 by 10 and hand-optimized TRIPS code outperformsit by factor of 3. Compared to conventional ISAs, the block-atomic model provides a largerinstruction window, increases concurrency at a cost of more instructions executed, and replaces registerand memory accesses with more efficient direct instruction-to-instruction communication. Our analysissuggests ISA, microarchitecture, and compiler enhancements for addressing weaknesses in TRIPS and indicatesthat EDGE architectures have the potential to exploit greater concurrency in future technologies.
The catalytic activity of sirtuins in physiology and disease from the epigenetic point of view (2014)

Abstract Sirtuins are a family of conserved enzymes that are involved in physiological and pathological pathways and have been investigated in relation to the ageing process. There are seven different sirtuins in mammals that are encoded by individual genes (SIRT1-7). Sirtuins share a highly conserved catalytic domain, and they have NAD+ dependent deacetylase activity and secondary ADPribosylase activity in different proportions and on different molecular targets. Sirtuins might be pharmacologically modulated by small molecules that might represent a novel class of “epigenetic” drugs. In fact, sirtuins’ deacetylase activity may impact the epigenetic regulation network acting on histones or affecting chromatin stability, while the mono-ADP-ribosylase catalysis is less explored to this respect. Here we review and discuss the potential impact of sirtuin catalytic activities from the epigenetic pointof- view, with a focus on age-related diseases (cancer,
Capacitance-to-phase angle conversion for the detection of extremely small capacities (1987)

Much progress has been made over the last few years in scaling down the dimensions of transducers. In particular, silicon micromachining technology has allowed small integrated sensors to be developed. The advantage of scaling of integrated capacitive transducers is mainly restricted by the limitations imposed by the capacitance change that can be resolved by the readout circuits. This paper describes a suitable technique for the readout of capacitive transducers using an ac-operated charge amplifier. The method is based on the compensation of the nominal transducer capacitance using a voltage which is slightly less than 180° out of phase. This setup makes it possible to convert the capacitance to a phase angle and to detect capacitance changes smaller than 1 fF.
Cross‐calibration of multi‐frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis with eight‐point tactile electrodes and dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry for assessment of body composition in healthy children aged 6–18 years (2008)

Although the %BF was not interchangeable with DXA, MF-BIA8 (InBody 720; Biospace) could be used to measure body composition of children and adolescents in the clinical field because of its high precision.
Adobe and Stone Churches of New Mexico: A Selection (2019)

The architecture of New Mexican village churches is often described as vernacular, which is to say that the construction materials (adobe, stone, vigas, latillas) are local; the design reflects local taste, tradition, and resources; the construction standards are idiosyncratic, pursuant to the experience, inclinations, and skills of the builders; and the finished product represents the history and cultural identity of the community.
Development Rates in Entomopathogenic Nematodes: Infected Hosts vs. Aqueous Suspension. (2002)

Rearing conditions have been shown to affect several aspects of entomopathogenic nematode biology, including dispersal behavior and infectivity. The present study explores the differences in development rate of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and Steinernema carpocapsae when infective juveniles (IJ) were collected in water using the standard White trap method vs. natural emergence from cadavers into sand. We exposed Galleria mellonella to IJ entompopathogenic nematodes treated in one of three ways: collected in a White trap, allowed to emerge directly into sand, or collected in a White trap and treated with a cadaver homogenate. When S. carpocapsae IJ were allowed to emerge from cadavers directly into sand and then allowed to infect new hosts, they developed into adults at a faster rate than IJ that were collected with White traps. The difference in development was not due to differential infection rates. No difference in development stages was detected amount the same H. bacteriophora treatments.
