An investigation into the interrelation between balanced score card factors: A case study in the automotive industry (2011)

Since 1990s, when Kaplan and Norton introduced balanced scorecard (BSC) model, this model has been considerably popular amongst managers all over the world. Although BSC is known as a successful performance measurement tool amongst managers, there have been criticisms of that including: How financial and non-financial measures are linked together? Are relationships in a direct way or there is bi-directional casualty? To overcome the limitations to current BSC theory, this paper aims to describe main factors of each balanced scorecard BSC perspectives and investigate interrelation between them with consideration to automotive parts sector in Iran. For this aim, we analyze the relationship between various perspectives in structure of balanced scorecard and measure causal relationships between various perspectives and their role in improving financial perspective. This research was conducted through a set of monthly reports of Balances scorecard factors in Tosnco - company of auto industry - during a three-year period. Case study evidence verified the underlying theoretical hypothesis of BSC. It is verified that perspectives are positively correlated with each other and new interrelation between internal process perspectives factor and financial perspective evidence was also found. The innovative dimension of this research is that we actually applied BSC in Iran and investigated factors related to auto industry and interrelation between factors with each other.

Factors regulating endogenous retroviral sequences in human and mouse (2004)

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are stably integrated in the genome of vertebrates and inherited as Mendelian genes. The several human ERV (HERV) families and related elements represent up to 5–8% of the DNA of our species. ERVs may be involved in the regulation of adjacent genomic loci, especially promoting the tissue-specific expression of genes; some HERVs may have functional roles, e.g., coding for the placental fusogenic protein, syncytin. This paper reviews the growing evidence about factors that may modulate ERVs, including: cell and tissue types (with special attention to placenta and germ cells), processes related to differentiation and aging, cytokines, agents that disrupt cell functions (e.g., DNA hypomethylating agents) and steroids. Special attention is given to HERVs, due to their possible involvement in autoimmunity and reproduction, as well as altered expression in some cancer types; moreover, different HERV families may deserve specific attention, due to remarkable differences concerning, e.g., expression in tissues. A comparison with factors interacting with murine ERV-related sequences indicates that the mouse may be a useful model for studying some patterns of HERV regulation. Overall, the available evidence identifies the diverse, potential interactions with endogenous or exogenous factors as a promising field for investigating the roles of ERVs in physiology and disease.
Determination of the composition of common linear low density polyethylene copolymers by 13C‐NMR spectroscopy (1991)

Abstract A comprehensive 13 C‐NMR method for the analysis of composition in the most common commercial polyethylene copolymers has been established. The method covers ethene copolymers with propene, butene‐1, hexene‐1, octene‐1, and 4‐methyl pentene‐1 in the composition range of 1–10 mol %. The chemical shift assignments and T 1 values of the resonances of the copolymers are presented. Results of precision studies and interlaboratory analyses showed that the molar composition could be determined with a relative precision at 2δ of about 6%. This method is being proposed to ASTM as Method X70‐8605‐2.

Topographical and Electrochemical Characterization of Optically Smooth Zn Films Prepared by Physical Vapor Deposition (2001)

Optically smooth Zn films supported on Cu-coated glass and quartz substrates have been obtained by physical vapor deposition of Zn in metallic form. The method employed involves resistive heating of a Mo boat filled with high purity Zn shot in an Ar atmosphere at pressures of about 3-5 mTorr. Atomic force microscopy images revealed that the resulting Zn deposits consist of smooth features (rms roughness ca. 0.3 nm) with dimensions on the order of 200 nm. Preliminary results indicate that the electrochemical behavior of these films in strongly alkaline solutions is somewhat different than that observed for Zn in bulk commercial form. © 2001 The Electrochemical Society.

EigenGRASP: Subject-Specific Temporal-Learning Radial Sampling Image Reconstruction in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI (2023)

GRASP is an image reconstruction algorithm for free-breathing dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI which uses universal L1-type regularization to suppress undersampling artifacts. We propose to replace it with a subject-specific data-driven L2-type regularization which can improve image quality and decrease reconstruction time.
Development of hydrogen masers for K-3 VLBI system (1984)

Two field operable hydrogen masers were developed for the VLBI joint experiment conducted by the cooperation between RRL and NASA. They are now playing an important role as the time and frequency standard of the K-3 VLBI system, which has also been developed by RRL.
Fabrication, assessment, and optimization of alendronate sodium nanoemulsion-based injectable in-situ gel formulation for management of osteoporosis (2023)

Low bone mass, degeneration of bone tissue, and disruption of bone microarchitecture are all symptoms of the disease osteoporosis, which can decrease bone strength and increase the risk of fractures. The main objective of the current study was to use a phospholipid-based phase separation <i>in-situ</i> gel (PPSG) in combination with an alendronate sodium nanoemulsion (ALS-NE) to help prevent bone resorption in rats. The effect of factors such as concentrations of the ALS aqueous solution, surfactant Plurol Oleique CC 497, and Maisine CC oil on nanoemulsion characteristics such as stability index and globular size was investigated using an l-optimal coordinate exchange statistical design. Injectable PPSG with the best nanoemulsion formulation was tested for viscosity, gel strength, water absorption, and <i>in-vitro</i> ALS release. ALS retention in the rats' muscles was measured after 30 days. The droplet size and stability index of the optimal nanoemulsion were 90 ± 2.0 nm and 85 ± 1.9%, respectively. When mixed with water, the optimal ALS-NE-loaded PPSG became viscous and achieved 36 seconds of gel strength, which was adequate for an injectable <i>in-situ</i> formulation. In comparison with the ALS solution-loaded <i>in-situ</i> gel, the newly created optimal ALS-NE-loaded PPSG produced the sustained and regulated release of ALS; hence, a higher percentage of ALS remained in rats' muscles after 30 days. PPSG that has been loaded with an ALS-NE may therefore be a more auspicious, productive, and effective platform for osteoporosis treatment than conventional oral forms.
Novel Plasma Based Microfluidic Assay for Measuring Fibrin Formation,Thrombin Generation and Fibrinolysis Under Flow: Monitoring Patients with Hemophilia on Inhibitors (2016)

Abstract INTRODUCTION The unpredictable clinical response of patients to bypassing therapy and the lack of a proper laboratory tools to measure clot formation and stability renders prophylaxis and surgery on these patients a huge challenge. These patients are at a risk for bleeding or thromboembolic complications. AIMS In this study we introduce a novel plasma based microfluidic assay that can qualitatively and quantitatively measure fibrin deposition, thrombin and plasmin generation, and fibrinolysis under flow. We then examined the dynamics of thrombus formation in patients with hemophilia and their response to replacement and bypass therapies under flow conditions. METHODS Coagulation in the plasma based assay was initiated by spherical 1µm lipidated- Tissue Factor biomimetic silica beads which were patterned into 200µm circles on a substrate surface. Plasma samples were obtained from Hemophilia patients and inhibitor patients, before and after replacement or bypassing treatment and perfused over the tissue factor rich surfaces at a sheer rate of 100 s-1 Fibrinolysis was initiated with the addition of tPAto the plasma samples before perfusion. RESULTS The microfluidic assay was sensitive enough to measure the activation of coagulation triggered by the bypassing agents. Fibrin generation and thrombin generation were measurable both qualitatively and quantitatively using three metrics; lag time, rate of production and maximum quantity produced. Individuals on replacement therapy showed normalized fibrin formation with a 69% increase in fibrin formation, a decrease in lag time and an overall increase in maximum fibrin and thrombin production (See attached Figure). The microfluidic assay was also able to show an increase in overall fibrin generation in certain Individuals that were given more bypassing treatment than needed. Compared to healthy controls the rate of fibrin generation and maximum fibrin was greater, thereby identifying a risk for prothrombotic state. (See attached Figure). Finally, using the microfluidic assay we were able to observe both clot formation and lysis and asses the the stability of the fibrin clot produced when these inhibitor patients were on and off treatments, which reflects a more complete picture of the coagulation process. CONCLUSION We are able to show that individuals, treated by replacement therapies showed normalized clot formation. Individuals with hemophilia treated by bypassing therapies also showed normalized clot formation. Sometimes however, the fibrin production is more than a normal control, which could lead to a risk of prothrombosis. By using microfluidic assay, the treatment can be given in doses and fibrin production observed, to decrease the overall fibrin formation from a hypocoagulable to a hemostatic state, avoiding hypercoagulability.

Fusicoccin: phytotoxin or molecular signal? (2003)

Fusicoccin is a phytotoxic metabolite produced by the fungus Fusicoccum (Phomopsis) amygdali, a pathogen of peach and almond plants. The interest for fusicoccin is due to its activity not confined to natural hosts of F amygdali but widespread on all higher plants. Fusicoccin induces an uncontrolled stomata opening which leads to leaf wilting and then to the plant death. This effect is due to the ability of fusicoccin to irreversible activate the plasma membrane H+-ATPase. Studies on fusicoccin, carried out for many years, besides clarifying its mechanism of action, have also shed light on the physiological regulation of the proton pump. The present review will focus the main steps of this long story.
Ambient RF energy harvesting and eﬃcient DC-load inductive power transfer (2013)

This thesis analyses in detail the technology required for wireless power transfer via radio frequency (RF) ambient energy harvesting and an inductive power transfer system (IPT). Radio frequency harvesting circuits have been demonstrated for more than ﬁfty years, but only a few have been able to harvest energy from freely available ambient (i.e. non-dedicated) RF sources. To explore the potential for ambient RF energy harvesting, a city-wide RF spectral survey was undertaken in London. Using the results from this survey, various harvesters were designed to cover four frequency bands from the largest RF contributors within the ultra-high frequency (0.3 to 3 GHz) part of the frequency spectrum. Prototypes were designed, fabricated and tested for each band and proved that approximately half of the London Underground stations were found to be suitable locations for harvesting ambient RF energy using the prototypes. Inductive Power Transfer systems for transmitting tens to hundreds of watts have been reported for almost a decade. Most of the work has concentrated on the optimization of the link eﬃciency and have not taken into account the eﬃciency of the driver and rectiﬁer. Class-E ampliﬁers and rectiﬁers have been identiﬁed as ideal drivers for IPT applications, but their power handling capability at tens of MHz has been a crucial limiting factor, since the load and inductor characteristics are set by the requirements of the resonant inductive system. The frequency limitation of the driver restricts the unloaded Q-factor of the coils and thus the link eﬃciency. The system presented in this work alleviates the use of heavy and expensive ﬁeld-shaping techniques by presenting an eﬃcient IPT system capable of transmitting energy with high dc-to-load eﬃciencies at 6 MHz across a distance of 30 cm.
Bacterial biofilms on gold grains—implications for geomicrobial transformations of gold (2016)

The biogeochemical cycling of gold (Au), i.e. its solubilization, transport and re-precipitation, leading to the (trans)formation of Au grains and nuggets has been demonstrated under a range of environmental conditions. Biogenic (trans)formations of Au grains are driven by (geo)biochemical processes mediated by distinct biofilm consortia living on these grains. This review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the composition and functional capabilities of Au-grain communities, and identifies contributions of key-species involved in Au-cycling. To date, community data are available from grains collected at 10 sites in Australia, New Zealand and South America. The majority of detected operational taxonomic units detected belong to the α-, β- and γ-Proteobacteria and the Actinobacteria. A range of organisms appears to contribute predominantly to biofilm establishment and nutrient cycling, some affect the mobilization of Au via excretion of Au-complexing ligands, e.g. organic acids, thiosulfate and cyanide, while a range of resident Proteobacteria, especially Cupriavidus metallidurans and Delftia acidovorans, have developed Au-specific biochemical responses to deal with Au-toxicity and reductively precipitate mobile Au-complexes. This leads to the biomineralization of secondary Au and drives the environmental cycle of Au.
Protein Glycation in Plants—An Under-Researched Field with Much Still to Discover (2020)

Recent research has identified glycation as a non-enzymatic post-translational modification of proteins in plants with a potential contributory role to the functional impairment of the plant proteome. Reducing sugars with a free aldehyde or ketone group such as glucose, fructose and galactose react with the N-terminal and lysine side chain amino groups of proteins. A common early-stage glycation adduct formed from glucose is N<sub>ε</sub>-fructosyl-lysine (FL). Saccharide-derived reactive dicarbonyls are arginine residue-directed glycating agents, forming advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). A dominant dicarbonyl is methylglyoxal-formed mainly by the trace-level degradation of triosephosphates, including through the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis. Methylglyoxal forms the major quantitative AGE, hydroimidazolone MG-H1. Glucose and methylglyoxal concentrations in plants change with the developmental stage, senescence, light and dark cycles and also likely biotic and abiotic stresses. Proteomics analysis indicates that there is an enrichment of the amino acid residue targets of glycation, arginine and lysine residues, in predicted functional sites of the plant proteome, suggesting the susceptibility of proteins to functional inactivation by glycation. In this review, we give a brief introduction to glycation, glycating agents and glycation adducts in plants. We consider dicarbonyl stress, the functional vulnerability of the plant proteome to arginine-directed glycation and the likely role of methylglyoxal-mediated glycation in the activation of the unfolded protein response in plants. The latter is linked to the recent suggestion of protein glycation in sugar signaling in plant metabolism. The overexpression of glyoxalase 1, which suppresses glycation by methylglyoxal and glyoxal, produced plants resistant to high salinity, drought, extreme temperature and other stresses. Further research to decrease protein glycation in plants may lead to improved plant growth and assist the breeding of plant varieties resistant to environmental stress and senescence-including plants of commercial ornamental and crop cultivation value.

A Comparison of Different Machine Transliteration Models (2006)

Machine transliteration is a method for automatically converting words in one language into phonetically equivalent ones in another language. Machine transliteration plays an important role in natural language applications such as information retrieval and machine translation, especially for handling proper nouns and technical terms. Four machine transliteration models -- grapheme-based transliteration model, phoneme-based transliteration model, hybrid transliteration model, and correspondence-based transliteration model -- have been proposed by several researchers. To date, however, there has been little research on a framework in which multiple transliteration models can operate simultaneously. Furthermore, there has been no comparison of the four models within the same framework and using the same data. We addressed these problems by 1) modeling the four models within the same framework, 2) comparing them under the same conditions, and 3) developing a way to improve machine transliteration through this comparison. Our comparison showed that the hybrid and correspondence-based models were the most effective and that the four models can be used in a complementary manner to improve machine transliteration performance.
Development of a Multivariate Predictive Dissolution Model for Tablets Coated with Cellulose Ester Blends (2020)

The focus of the present investigation was to develop a predictive dissolution model for tablets coated with blends of cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) 171-15 and cellulose acetate phthalate (C-A-P) using the design of experiment and chemometric approaches. Diclofenac sodium was used as a model drug. Coating weight gain (X<sub>1</sub>, 5, 7.5 and 10%) and CAB 171-15 percentage (X<sub>2</sub>, 33.3, 50 and 66.7%) in the coating composition relative to C-A-P and were selected as independent variables by full factorial experimental design. The responses monitored were dissolution at 1 (Y<sub>1</sub>), 8 (Y<sub>2</sub>), and 24 (Y<sub>3</sub>) h. Statistically significant (<i>p</i> < 0.05) effects of X<sub>1</sub> on Y<sub>1</sub> and X<sub>2</sub> on Y<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>2,</sub> and Y<sub>3</sub> were observed. The models showed a good correlation between actual and predicted values as indicated by the correlation coefficients of 0.964, 0.914, and 0.932 for Y<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>2,</sub> and Y<sub>3</sub>, respectively. For the chemometric model development, the near infrared spectra of the coated tablets were collected, and partial least square regression (PLSR) was performed. PLSR also showed a good correlation between actual and model predicted values as indicated by correlation coefficients of 0.916, 0.964, and 0.974 for Y<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>2</sub>, and Y<sub>3</sub>, respectively. Y<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>2,</sub> and Y<sub>3</sub> predicted values of the independent sample by both approaches were close to the actual values. In conclusion, it is possible to predict the dissolution of tablets coated with blends of cellulose esters by both approaches.
