Kinematic analysis of symmetric axial trunk rotation on dominant hip (2011)

Axial rotation of the trunk has been reported as a significant risk of low back dysfunction. However, a lack of biomechanical investigation exists that explains how twisting is accomplished with simultaneous asymmetric handling between the hip joints and lumbar spine. We used a three-dimensional motion analysis to measure movements of the bilateral hips and lumbar spine. Forty-four persons participated in the study, and the results indicated that spinal range of motion (ROM) was significantly different based on dominance (F = 198.83, p = 0.001), region x dominance (F = 14.21, p = 0.001), and dominance x dimension (F = 141.08, p = 0.001). We also found a three-way interaction between region x dominance x dimension (F = 26.30, p = 0.001). These results indicated that the motion of the transverse and sagittal planes significantly increased when the participants attempted to rotate their hips, especially on the nondominant side. Decreased axial trunk ROM on the side of dominance might stiffen passive structures of the hip joints. The functions of the hip joints and lumbar spine might be altered three dimensionally based on the side of dominance.
TRIPLE COMBINATION THERAPY WITH AMLODIPINE/VALSARTAN/HCTZ AT MAXIMAL DOSES IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FOR HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS UNCONTROLLED ON ARB MONOTHERAPY: THE EXTRA STUDY: PP.5.216 (2010)

Objective: To compare the BP efficacy of combination amlodipine/valsartan (A/V) intensive dose (10/320 mg) vs moderate dose (5/160 mg), with addition of HCTZ, in pts uncontrolled on ARB monotherapy. Methods: Pts aged >=18 years on ARB (other than V) for >=28 d (treatment-naïve pts or those uncontrolled on agents other than an ARB treated with olmesartan 20 or 40 mg, respectively, for 28 d) and with uncontrolled MSSBP (>=150–<200 mmHg) were randomized to A/V 5/320 (n=369) or A/V 5/160 mg (n=359); increased to 10/320 mg in the intensive arm at Wk 2. HCTZ 12.5 mg was added to both arms at Wk 4. Optional up-titration with HCTZ 12.5 mg at Wk 8 was allowed if MSSBP >140 mmHg. Results: 127 pts (35%) in the intensive arm (mean, 27.6 d) and 170 (48%) in the moderate arm (mean, 28.2 d) received optional HCTZ 12.5 mg with A/V/HCTZ 10/320/25 or 5/160/25 mg. For pts up-titrated with full HCTZ dose, MSSBP at wk 8 decreased from 167.2 mmHg (baseline) to 144.5 mmHg in the intensive group and from 165.4 mmHg to 149.0 mmHg in the moderate arm. Additional reductions of 4.5 mmHg in the intensive arm and 5.8 mmHg in the moderate arm (figure) were observed from Wk 8 to Wk 12 only in pts receiving full-dose HCTZ. Overall, AEs were similar in both groups (36.3% intensive, 37.6% moderate); most common AEs were peripheral edema (8.7%, 4.5%) and dizziness (5.1%, 3.9%). In pts receiving full HCTZ dose, AEs at Wk 8 were 6.3% vs 3.5% (Wk 12: 8.7% vs 4.1%) for peripheral edema and 3.1% vs 0% (Wk 12: 3.9% vs 1.8%) for dizziness. A substantial proportion of pts in both treatment arms required triple therapy with the full HCTZ dose (25 mg). Conclusion: Use of triple combination A/V/HCTZ with maximal dose of 10/320/25 mg is safe for pts who are able to up-titrate and results in additional BP reduction.

Core Materials for High Frequency VRM Inductors (2007)

The application of PCB integrated electroplated cores for VRM inductors is proposed, where the motivation is to increase frequencies beyond 1 MHz so that VRM transient response can be improved. It is shown that electroplated alloys have loss properties that are at least competitive with those of the highest frequency ferrite material available. Various PCB integrated inductor designs are presented, with toroidal cores providing the smallest solution. Measured losses under non-sinusoidal operating conditions are provided and work is ongoing to characterise the materials further.
Node Synchronization for the Viterbi Decoder (1983)

Abstract-Motivated by the needs of NASA’s Voyager 2 mission, in this paper we describe an algorithm which detects and corrects losses of node synchronization in convolutionally encoded data. This algorithm, which would be implemented as a hardware device external to a Viterbi decoder, makes statistical decisions shout node synch based on the hard-quantized undecoded data stream.,We will show that in a worst-case Voyager environment, our method will detect and correct a true loss of synch (thought to be a very rare event) within several hundred bits; many of the resulting outages will be corrected by the outer Reed-Solomon code. At the same time, the mean time between false alarms is on the order of several years, independent of the signal-to-noise ratio. R I.
A new 18-T resistive magnet with radial bores (1994)

The new 20 MW installation has been running in our laboratory since the end of 1991. In order to fit the new characteristics of the power supplies, we have developed some new solenoids, especially for high homogeneous fields or special configurations with large bores. We describe in detail the new 10 MW, 5 cm room temperature bore, Bitter type magnet with horizontal axis, delivering a continuous field higher than 18 T for a power consumption of 9.5 MW. In the middle plane, 4 cylindrical 5 mm diameter tubes provide optical accesses for laser beam perpendicular to the main field orientation. The results of the tests are presented and the major problems due to the high pressure of the cooling water are discussed. This facility is mainly used for magneto-optical studies such as Cotton-Mouton effect and Faraday effect on complex fluids and heterogeneous solids. The corresponding instrumentation is briefly described.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Somatostatin Receptor sst2 Decreases Cell Viability and Hormonal Hypersecretion and Reverses Octreotide Resistance of Human Pituitary Adenomas (2008)

In human somatotroph adenomas, growth hormone (GH) hypersecretion can be inhibited by somatostatin analogues such as octreotide. Unfortunately, serum GH levels reach normal values in only 60% of treated patients. The decreased sensitivity to octreotide is strongly related to a lower expression of somatostatin receptor sst2. In this present study, the sst2 gene was transferred by an adenoviral vector (Ad-sst2) in human somatotroph (n = 7) and lactotroph (n = 2) adenomas in vitro. Sst2 mRNA levels and sst2 immunostaining dramatically increased after infection. Ten days after infection at 20 multiplicity of infection (MOI), sst2 gene transfer decreased cell viability from 19% to 90% by caspase-dependent apoptosis. At low viral doses (5 MOI), Ad-sst2 decreased GH or prolactin (PRL) basal secretion and mRNA expression. Somatotroph tumors were classified in three groups according to their octreotide sensitivity. Four days after infection by 5 MOI Ad-sst2, the maximal GH suppression by octreotide increased from 31% to 57% in the octreotide partially resistant group and from 0% to 27% in the resistant ones. In the octreotide-sensitive group, EC(50) values significantly decreased from 1.3 x 10(-11) to 6.6 x 10(-13) mol/L without improving maximal GH suppression. Finally, lactotroph tumors, nonresponding to octreotide in basal conditions, became octreotide sensitive with a maximal PRL suppression of 43% at 10(-8) mol/L. Therefore, sst2 reexpression is able to improve octreotide sensitivity. Sst2 gene transfer may open new therapeutic strategies in treatment combined with somatostatin analogues.
Cytofluorometry and fluorescence confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) in the study of neutral lipid dynamics inParamecium primaurelia mating types during cell line development (1999)

Although differences between mating type I and mating type II lines were not correlated to cell size, a relation was found between lipid content and food ingestion capacity. A depletion of bacteria in the culture medium could be responsible for the lack of differences in mature starved cells. CLSM allowed us to gather volume information about the lipid droplet distribution within the cell.
Regulation of Protein Synthesis in HeLa Cells (1971)

The mechanism of inhibition of host cell protein synthesis by poliovirus has been studied by examining the behavior of host polyribosomes and polyribosome-associated messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). Virus infection appears to result in a specific inhibition of the initiation of translation of host cell mRNA. The site of inhibition does not appear to be mRNA itself. Human cells respond to virus infection by producing a factor antagonistic to the virus inhibition which promotes the initiation of host mRNA translation. The production of the host factor is sensitive to actinomycin; however, the behavior of the host cell factor and that of host mRNA appear distinctly different.

Mining Causality from Texts for Question Answering System (2007)

This research aims to develop automatic knowledge mining of causality from texts for supporting an automatic question answering system (QA) in answering 'why' question, which is among the most crucial forms of questions. The out come of this research will assist people in diagnosing problems, such as in plant diseases, health, industrial and etc. While the previous works have extracted causality knowledge within only one or two adjacent EDUs (Elementary Discourse Units), this research focuses to mine causality knowledge existing within multiple EDUs which takes multiple causes and multiple effects in to consideration, where the adjacency between cause and effect is unnecessary. There are two main problems: how to identify the interesting causality events from documents, and how to identify the boundaries of the causative unit and the effective unit in term of the multiple EDUs. In addition, there are at least three main problems involved in boundaries identification: the implicit boundary delimiter, the nonadjacent cause-consequence, and the effect surrounded by causes. This research proposes using verb-pair rules learnt by comparing the Naive Bayes classifier (NB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) to identify causality EDUs in Thai agricultural and health news domains. The boundary identification problems are solved by utilizing verb-pair rules, Centering Theory and cue phrase set. The reason for emphasizing on using verbs to extract causality is that they explicitly make, in a certain way, the consequent events of cause-effect, e.g. 'Aphids suck the sap from rice leaves. Then leaves will shrink. Later, they will become yellow and dry.'. The outcome of the proposed methodology shown that the verb-pair rules extracted from NB outperform those extracted from SVM when the corpus contains high occurence of each verb, while the results from SVM is better than NB when the corpus contains less occurence of each verb. The verb-pair rules extracted from NB for causality extraction has the highest precision (0.88) with the recall of 0.75 from the plant disease corpus whereas from SVM has the highest precision (0.89) with the recall of 0.76 from bird flu news. For boundary determination, our methodology can handle very well with approximate 96% accuracy. In addition, the extracted causality results from this research can be generalized as laws in the Inductive-Statistical theory of Hempel's explanation theory, which will be useful for QA and reasoning.
Analyzing threads for shared memory consistency (2004)

Languages allowing explicitly parallel, multithreaded programming (e.g. Java and C#) need to specify a memory consistency model to define program behavior. The memory consistency model defines constraints on the order of memory accesses in systems with shared memory. The design of a memory consistency model affects ease of parallel programming as well as system performance. Compiler analysis can be used to mitigate the performance impact of a memory consistency model that imposes strong constraints on shared memory access orders. In this work, we explore the capability of a compiler to analyze what restrictions are imposed by a memory consistency model for the program being compiled. 
Our compiler analysis targets Java bytecodes. It focuses on two components: delay set analysis and synchronization analysis. Delay set analysis determines the order of shared memory accesses that must be respected within each individual thread of execution in the source program. We describe a simplified analysis algorithm that is applicable to programs with general thread structure (MIMD programs), and has polynomial time worst-case complexity. This algorithm uses synchronization analysis to improve the accuracy of the results. Synchronization analysis determines the order of shared memory accesses already enforced by synchronization in the source program. We describe a dataflow analysis algorithm for synchronization analysis that is efficient to compute, and that improves precision over previously known methods. 
The analysis techniques described are used in the implementation of a virtual machine that guarantees sequentially consistent execution of Java bytecodes. This implementation is used to show the effectiveness of our analysis algorithms. On many benchmark programs, the performance of programs on our system is close to 100% of the performance of the same programs executing under a relaxed memory model. Specifically, we observe an average slowdown of 10% on an Intel Xeon platform, with slowdowns of 7% or less for 7 out of 10 benchmarks. On an IBM Power3 platform, we observe an average slowdown of 26%, with slowdowns of 7% or less for 8 out of 10 benchmarks.
Use and abuse of osmo‐terminology (1984)

Abstract The terminology currently employed in studies concerned with the osmotic responses of plant cells is reviewed with specific reference to (1) the suitability of expressions in general use and (2) the application of such terms to experimental studies. The widely used term osmoregulation is shown to be an inappropriate and misleading expression when used to describe the adjustments in cellular solute concentration which frequently accompany changes in external salt concentration. Such usage of osmoregulation should be discouraged; more suitable expressions (e.g. osmoacclimation, osmotic adjustment, turgor/volume regulation or turgor maintenance, osmoadaptation) should be employed, depending upon the context.
Internet of Trees (IoTr): A Low-Cost Single Stub Lorentz Resonator For Plant Moisture Sensing (2021)

The water content of plants plays a significant role in the safety and maintenance of plants' health. Low moisture content in leaves can damage the plants, thus early detection of water content requires very high sensitivity sensors. In this paper, we propose a plant moisture sensor based on Lorentz dispersion to detect plant's moisture level of different concentrations. The high sensitivity of Lorentz sensor comes from its narrowband resonant characteristics manifested by rapid slope change of its phase spectrum, a phenomenon known as anomalous dispersion. This unique signature in its phase spectrum adds a second degree of freedom in sensing and detection, as well as removes ambiguity in the identification of the resonant frequency. We practically measured the moisture content of different samples of leaves and analyzed quick distinctive deviations in the phase and magnitude responses of the sensor based upon the water content in the leaves. The proposed plant moisture sensor is supposed to be integrated with an internet network to inform the farmers and agriculturalists about plants' health. In this way, the concept of Internet of Trees (IoTr) can be employed. Consequently, timely watering of the plants, as well as appropriate usage of water will be guaranteed.

Design of high-reduction hypoid gears meshing in plane of action (2017)

This paper proposes a method of directly designing the surface of action of a hypoid gear. In the proposed method, the characteristics of the gear meshing are independent of the manufacturing process. The conjugate gear surfaces can then be accurately obtained by coordinate transformation. A plane was selected as the surface of action to achieve hypoid gears with a higher performance than face gears. The proposed hypoid gear may have the same features as cylindrical involute gears that also mesh in the plane of action and are unaffected by translational assembly error. A design example is presented in this paper to verify that tooth surface meshing in the plane of action can be achieved for a high-reduction ratio hypoid gear. The influence of different types of assembly error on the tooth flank error was examined numerically by comparing with face gears.
100-kW hingeless metal wind turbine blade design, analysis and fabrication (1975)

The design, fabrication and analysis of aluminum wind turbine rotor blades is discussed. The blades are designed to meet criteria established for a 100-kilowatt wind turbine generator operating between 8 and 60-mile-per-hour speeds at 40 revolutions per minute. The design wind speed is 18 miles per hour. Two rotor blades are used on a new facility which includes a hingeless hub and its shaft, gearbox, generator and tower. Experience shows that, for stopped rotors, safe wind speeds are strongly dependent on blade torsional and bending rigidities which the basic D spar structural blade design provides. The 0.25-inch-thick nose skin is brake/bump formed to provide the basic 'D' spar structure for the tapered, twisted blades. Adequate margins for flutter and divergence are predicted from the use of existing, correlated stopped rotor and helicopter rotor analysis programs.
Localized Charge of Aromatic Sytems Caused by Complexation with Cucurbit[n]uril (2009)

The free energy landscape of retroviral integration (2019)

Retroviral integration, the process of covalently inserting viral DNA into the host genome, is a point of no return in the replication cycle. Yet, strand transfer is intrinsically iso-energetic and it is not clear how efficient integration can be achieved. Here we investigate the dynamics of strand transfer and demonstrate that consecutive nucleoprotein intermediates interacting with a supercoiled target are increasingly stable, resulting in a net forward rate. Multivalent target interactions at discrete auxiliary interfaces render target capture irreversible, while allowing dynamic site selection. Active site binding is transient but rapidly results in strand transfer, which in turn rearranges and stabilizes the intasome in an allosteric manner. We find the resulting strand transfer complex to be mechanically stable and extremely long-lived, suggesting that a resolving agent is required in vivo.
Osteoclast Formation in Bone Marrow Cultures from Two Inbred Strains of Mice with Different Bone Densities (1999)

For the purpose of identifying genes that affect bone volume, we previously identified two inbred mouse strains (C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ) with large differences in femoral bone density and medullary cavity volume. The lower density and larger medullary cavity volume in C57BL/6J mice could result from either decreased formation or increased resorption or both. We recently reported evidence suggesting that bone formation was increased in vivo and that osteoblast progenitor cells are more numerous in the bone marrow of C3H/HeJ compared with C57BL/6J mice. In the present study, we determined whether osteoclast numbers in vivo and osteoclast formation from bone marrow cells in vitro might also differ between the two mouse strains. We have found that the number of osteoclasts on bone surfaces of distal humerus secondary spongiosa was 2-fold higher in 5.5-week-old C57BL/6J mice than in C3H/HeJ mice of the same age (p < 0.001). Bone marrow cells of C57BL/6J mice cocultured with Swiss/Webster mouse osteoblasts consistently produced more osteoclasts than did C3H/HeJ bone marrow cells at all ages tested from 3.5-14 weeks of age (p < 0.001). Osteoclast formation was also greater from spleen cells of 3.5-week-old C57BL/6J mice than C3H/HeJ mice. The distribution of nuclei per osteoclast and the 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 dose dependence of osteoclast production from bone marrow cells were similar. Osteoclasts that developed from both C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ marrow cells formed pits in dentin slices. Cultures from C57BL/6J marrow cells formed 2.5-fold more pits than cultures from C3H/HeJ marrow cells (p < 0.02). We compared the abilities of C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ osteoblasts to support osteoclast formation. When bone marrow cells from either C57BL/6J or C3H/HeJ mice were cocultured with osteoblasts from either C57BL/6J or C3H/HeJ newborn calvaria, the strain from which osteoblasts were derived did not affect the number of osteoclasts formed from marrow cells of either strain. Together, these observations suggest that genes affecting the bone marrow osteoclast precursor population may contribute to the relative differences in bone density that occur between C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6J mouse strains.
