AKIKPISHTI WITH AKIKBHASMA":- ANALYTICAL STUDY (2018)

: Akik is a drug which is usually used for Daiva-vyapashraya, Yuktivyapashraya as well as Satwavajaya chikitsa. Being a gem, it is used in ornamental as well as astrological purposes since ages. Akik has been mentioned in almost 5-6 rasa granthas, viz Siddha Bhaishaj Manimala, Rasamritam, Rastantrasar & Siddhaprayog sangraha as well as in Ayurved Prakash.Though there has not been any direct reference to Akik in medicinal forms during the vedic or the samhita period, it has been observed to be used widely in recent times.In Yukti-vyapashraya chikitsa, it is used in two forms viz: bhasma and pishti. However, acharyas gave importance to pishti as Akik or any gemstone when subjected to agni, loses its qualities.  As Akik possesses qualities like sheeta virya, ruksha, vrishya, hridya, netrya, rasayana, dadhyakar, raktastambhi, medhya and netrya, it can be widely utilized in cardiac disorders, eye disorders, dental anomalies, bleeding disorders and as a nervine tonic too.As the drug is already in market and being used in various medicines, there was a need for a retrospective analytical study. Hence, analytical study of Akik pishti and Akik bhasma was conducted with all the available methods, to find out which one would be more potent drug.
Stability of slopes of municipal solid waste landfills with co-disposal of biosolids (2006)

This paper deals with the impact of the addition of biosolids on the geotechnical properties of class I landfills with Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). The properties are estimated from a field exploration program using the Cone Penetration Test (CPT). The geotechnical shear strength parameters (angle of internal friction and cohesion) of MSW and biosolids mixture are estimated by correlation with the CPT results. These parameters are then used to study the impact of the addition of biosolids on the stability of the slope of the landfill. The slope stability analysis is conducted on various landfill models using the software SLOPE/W. The waste is assumed to act similar to a cohesionless soil. Based on the field explorations, the angle of internal friction was found to be about 29. Previous research indicated that the most suitable approach to introducing biosolids into the landfill was in the form of trenches. From the slope stability analysis, it was found that the factor of safety reduces significantly with the introduction of biosolids due to a reduction in the shear strength and with increase in the overall moisture content.
Fully in Tensor Computation Manner: A One-Shot Dense 3D Acquisition Method using Structured Light (2019)

Tensor computation evolves fast towards a prosperous platform in recent years e.g. PyTorch. An immediate advantage of using tensor computation is that one does not need to implement low-level parallelism to attain efficient computation, which is of simplicity for both research and application development. We discovered that a simple maneuver “tensor shift” could perform neighborhood manipulation in very efficient parallel manner. Based on “tensor shift”, we derive the tensor-version of a renowned correspondence search algorithm: Semi-Global Matching (SGM), which we prefix the name as tensor-SGM (tSGM). To evaluate our idea, we build-up a novel and practical one-shot structured light 3D acquisition system, which yields accurate and dense (per-pixel) reconstruction results using off-the-shelf hardware. This is the first fully tensorised 3D reconstruction system published to our best knowledge and it first tries to migrate a time-certified computer vision algorithm into tensor-computation. We consider that we are rendering real efforts to the community by advancing 3D reconstruction towards tensor computation era.
InfoGest Consensus Method (2015)

This section describes the consensus static digestion method developed within the COST Action InfoGest. Simulated gastro-intestinal digestion is widely employed in many fields of food and nutritional research. Various different digestion models have been proposed, which often impedes the possibility of comparing results across research teams. For example, a large variety of enzymes from different sources such as porcine, rabbit or human have been used and these differ in their activity and characterization. Differences in pH, mineral composition and digestion time that alter enzyme activity and other phenomena may also significantly alter results. Other parameters such as the presence of phospholipids, specific enzymes such as gastric lipase and digestive emulsifiers, etc. have also been discussed at length. In this section, a general standardised and practical static digestion method is given, based on physiologically relevant conditions that can be applied for various endpoints. A framework of parameters for the oral, gastric and small intestinal digestion is outlined and their relevance discussed in relation to available in vivo data and enzymes. Detailed, line-by-line guidance recommendations and justifications are given but also limitations of the proposed model. This harmonised static, in vitro digestion method for food should aid the production of more comparable data in the future.
A pyridinyl-functionalized tetraphenylethylene fluorogen for specific sensing of trivalent cations (2013)

A pyridinyl-functionalized tetraphenylethene (Py-TPE) was synthesized and it demonstrated colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent responses to trivalent metal cations (M(3+), M = Cr, Fe, Al) over a variety of mono- and divalent metal cations.
(11) Inheritance of Resistance to Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus-Florida Strain in Watermelon (2005)

Inheritance of resistance to zucchini yellow mosaic virus-Florida strain (ZYMV-FL) was studied in the resistant watermelon accession of PI 595203 ( Citrulluslanatus var. lanatus ), an egusi type originally collected in Nigeria. The F 1 , F 2 , and BC 1 generations derived from the cross `Calhoun Gray' × PI 595203 and `New Hampshire Midget' × PI 595203 were used to study the inheritance of resistance to ZYMV-FL. Seedlings were inoculated with a severe isolate of ZYMV-FL at the first true leaf stage and rated on a 0 to 9 scale, based on the severity of virus symptoms. A single recessive gene was found to control resistance, for which we propose the symbol zym-FL2 . The gene probably was not allelic to the previously published gene, zym-FL , for resistance to the Florida strain of ZYMV in the accession PI 482261, since PI 482261 was not resistant to the ZYMV-FL isolate used in our tests.
Discoidin Domain Receptor 2 Regulates Fibroblast Proliferation and Migration through the Extracellular Matrix in Association with Transcriptional Activation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (2002)

Discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2) is a tyrosine kinase receptor expressed in mesenchymal tissues, the ligand of which is fibrillar collagen. We have compared DDR2 signaling in skin fibroblasts derived from DDR2(-/-) and DDR2(+/-) mice. Proliferation of DDR2(-/-) fibroblasts was significantly decreased compared with DDR2(+/-) cells. DDR2(-/-) fibroblasts exhibited markedly impaired capacity to migrate through a reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel) in response to a chemotactic stimulus, which correlated with diminished matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity by gelatin zymography and diminished MMP-2 transcription of a minimal MMP-2 promoter. In contrast, a lack of DDR2 had no effect on cell motility or alpha-smooth muscle actin or vinculin expression. Additionally, expression of type I collagen was greatly reduced in DDR2(-/-) cells. Stable reconstitution of either wild-type DDR2 or constitutively active chimeric DDR2 in DDR2(-/-) cells by retroviral infection restored cell proliferation, migration through a reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel), and MMP-2 levels to those of DDR2(+/-) fibroblasts. These data establish a role for DDR2 in critical events during wound repair.
Investigation of the Electroclinic Effect at the Liquid Crystal-Substrate Interface (2002)

We present a model of the electroclinic effect near the Smectic A-Smectic C transition, within a Surface Stabilised Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal cell. We propose an internal chevron structure within the cell, as had been suggested by previous x-ray studies 1,2 . We tested this model by comparing it with experimental results, which involved a total internal reflection experiment to probe the liquid crystal-substrate interface, and a transmission experiment to probe the behaviour within the bulk of the cell. This model shows very good agreement with the experimental data, for both the liquid crystal-substrate interface and within the bulk of the cell
Adjuvant activity of peanut, cottonseed and rice oils on cellular and humoral response (2013)

The potentiality of the usage of vegetable oils such as soybean, corn, olive, sesame, murici seed, rapeseed,&#13;\nlinseed, rice and cashew nuts as adjuvant of the humoral and cellular immune response has been recently shown.&#13;\nIn the present work, besides of evaluating the adjuvant action of peanut, cottonseed and rice oils on humoral and&#13;\ncellular immune responses against ovalbumin (OVA) we also evaluated the protective immune response induced&#13;\nby Leishmania antigens. The peanut oil significantly increased the synthesis of anti-ovalbumin antibodies in the&#13;\nprimary response, but it did not favor cellular response. Concerning mice immunized with L. amazonensis antigens&#13;\nemulsified with peanut oil exacerbated skin lesions and lymph node parasite load what suggests stimulation of&#13;\nthe Th2 immune response and down regulation of Th1 response. The cottonseed oil was shown to have adjuvant&#13;\neffect to the humoral response, stimulating a secondary response and also favored the delayed-type hypersensitivity&#13;\n(DTH) response to OVA. The rice oil stimulated a strong DTH reaction to OVA and enhanced the synthesis of&#13;\nantibodies after the third dose. Mice immunized with L. amazonensis antigens emulsified with rice oil or cotton&#13;\nseed oil were protected from developing skin lesions and lymph node parasite load. These results emphasize the&#13;\ninterest and importance of the vegetable oils as tools in different procedures of immunization and their differential&#13;\nrole in relation to the other adjuvant under usage.
Interpretability Analysis for Named Entity Recognition to Understand\n System Predictions and How They Can Improve (2020)

Named Entity Recognition systems achieve remarkable performance on domains\nsuch as English news. It is natural to ask: What are these models actually\nlearning to achieve this? Are they merely memorizing the names themselves? Or\nare they capable of interpreting the text and inferring the correct entity type\nfrom the linguistic context? We examine these questions by contrasting the\nperformance of several variants of LSTM-CRF architectures for named entity\nrecognition, with some provided only representations of the context as\nfeatures. We also perform similar experiments for BERT. We find that context\nrepresentations do contribute to system performance, but that the main factor\ndriving high performance is learning the name tokens themselves. We enlist\nhuman annotators to evaluate the feasibility of inferring entity types from the\ncontext alone and find that, while people are not able to infer the entity type\neither for the majority of the errors made by the context-only system, there is\nsome room for improvement. A system should be able to recognize any name in a\npredictive context correctly and our experiments indicate that current systems\nmay be further improved by such capability.\n
Towards a Quantum Synergetics: Pattern Formation in Quantum Systems far from Thermal Equilibrium (1985)

We show how the general approaches based on the order parameter concept and the slaving principle, so far developed for classical systems, can be extended to quantum systems. Possible applications are the formation of spatial or temporal structures formed by electrons or holes in semiconductors (Gunn effect and filamentation).
Delivering real-world ubiquitous location systems (2005)

To be widely adopted, location-aware computing must be as effortless, familiar, and rewarding as searching the Web. There are many challenges to this quest, but recent progress has demonstrated accurate location estimation using available wireless networking.
Use Of Electrosurgical Dispersive Electrodes For Ventricular Defibrillation (1983)

It has been suggested that conformable electrosurgical electrodes may be useful for defibrillation. In this paper, the impedance of aluminum- and tin-backed electrosurgical dispersive electrodes was compared to the impedance of conventional stainless steel defibrillation electrodes. Impedance vs. frequency and impedance to the passage of defibrillation current were measured with the electrodes connected face-to-face and applied to the thoraxes of dogs. The aluminum-backed electrodes had a higher impedance and required 75% more voltage (for the same defibrillation current) than the stainless steel electrodes. The tin-backed electrodes required 44% more voltage than the stainless steel electrodes, (for the same defibrillation current) and, therefore, required higher energy settings on the defibrillator. Although aluminum-backed electrosurgical dispersive electrodes can be used for defibrillation, the price paid is the requirement for higher energy defibrillators.
Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Solid Phases of the Sn(II)–Organophosphonate System: The 1-Dimensional [Sn(HO3PCH2PO3H)] · H2O and the 3-Dimensional [Sn2{O3PC(OH)(CH3)PO3}] (1996)

The first Sn(II)–organophosphonate solid phases have been prepared and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The one-dimensional species [Sn(HO3PCH2PO3H)] ·H2O (1) was prepared conventionally from a mixture of SnCl2, CH2(PO3H2)2, and H2O in the mole ratio 1:2.9:8.17 kept at 4°C for 12 h. The three-dimensional phase [Sn2{O3PC(OH)(CH3)PO3}] (2) was prepared hydrothermally from a mixture of SnCl2, CH3C(OH)(PO3H)2, 1,4 diaminopropane · HCl, and H2O in the mole ratio 1:3.87:1.9:2215 with pH adjusted to 3.5 by addition of (CH3)4NOH, heated at 150°C for 135.5 h. Compound 1 consists of linear chains of {SnO3} pyramids bridged by (HO3PCH2PO3H)2−groups. The structure of 2 is a three-dimensional open framework. Crystal data: 1, triclinic P1a= 4.8777(1) Å,b= 8.786(2) Å,c= 9.446(2) Å, α = 84.52(3)°, β = 78.78(3)°, γ = 74.39(3)°,V= 382.0(2) Å3,Z= 2,Dcalc= 2.701 g cm−3, structure solution and refinement based on 1059 reflections converged atR= 0.060; 2, monoclinic P21/c,a= 10.889(2) Å,b= 8.556(2) Å,c= 9.460(2) Å, β = 96.92(2)°,V= 874.9(4) Å3,Dcalc= 3.336 g cm−3, structure solution and refinement based on 1121 reflections, converged atR= 0.055.
Temperature and Finite Pulse-Time Effects in the Flash Method for Measuring Thermal Diffusivity (1963)

The flash technique for measuring thermal diffusivity is analyzed for the case of a cylindrical-shaped specimen of radius r0 and thickness a to determine the effects of radiation at high temperatures, finite duration of the heat pulse, and the feasibility of low temperature measurements. It is found that the flash diffusivity method is useful in two complementary limits: (1) pulse time τ short compared to the characteristic thermal response time tc, (2) τ/tc of the order 1 to 10. The former case corresponds to the original description of Parker, Jenkins, and Abbott, while the latter case is suitable at very low temperatures. Moreover, it is shown that there is an optimum specimen thickness a for a given material and pulse time τ, in the sense that a higher temperature can be reached before any corrections have to be made to the Parker et al. analysis.
Formation of Boundary Layers on Different Refractories in Glass Melts (2008)

The relationship between oxides of the refractory materials and of the glass melts, the diffusion of the different species, the solution of determined oxides (i.e., Al2O3), and the convective transport processes influences decisively the formation of boundary layers. The behavior of the boundary layers of various refractory/glass melt types are different regarding corrosion resistance and glass defect potential. Therefore it is important to know and consider the behavior of boundary layers when selecting refractories.
Sound insulation has to be of good quality (2017)

Buka iz razlicitih izvora sve je veci problem za stanovnistvo u velikim gradovima. Njezini su osnovni vanjski izvori sve vrste prometa, industrijska i obrtnicka postrojenja, unutarnji sustavi ventilacije i klimatizacije i buka susjeda. Da bi se stanovnici zastitili od prevelike razine buke u zatvorenim prostorima, zvucna izolacija horizontalnih i vertikalnih pregrada u zgradama mora biti sto bolja. Također je potrebno smanjiti razinu buke oko samog izvora (npr. prometnice) upotrebom materijala s dobrim izolacijskim i zvukoupojnim svojstvima (tiha fasada).
LCR-Net++: Multi-person 2D and 3D Pose Detection in Natural Images (2019)

We propose an end-to-end architecture for joint 2D and 3D human pose estimation in natural images. Key to our approach is the generation and scoring of a number of pose proposals per image, which allows us to predict 2D and 3D poses of multiple people simultaneously. Hence, our approach does not require an approximate localization of the humans for initialization. Our Localization-Classification-Regression architecture, named LCR-Net, contains 3 main components: 1) the pose proposal generator that suggests candidate poses at different locations in the image; 2) a classifier that scores the different pose proposals; and 3) a regressor that refines pose proposals both in 2D and 3D. All three stages share the convolutional feature layers and are trained jointly. The final pose estimation is obtained by integrating over neighboring pose hypotheses, which is shown to improve over a standard non maximum suppression algorithm. Our method recovers full-body 2D and 3D poses, hallucinating plausible body parts when the persons are partially occluded or truncated by the image boundary. Our approach significantly outperforms the state of the art in 3D pose estimation on Human3.6M, a controlled environment. Moreover, it shows promising results on real images for both single and multi-person subsets of the MPII 2D pose benchmark and demonstrates satisfying 3D pose results even for multi-person images.
Processing and commercial application of polymer blends (1982)

Abstract The number of commercial blends has skyrocketed in the past several years and the trend toward blending—in preference to the creation of new polymer structures—has been firmly established. This paper analyzes the reasons for this growth; the types of commercial products, their manufacturer, and their applications; the patent situation; and possible future directions of the industry.
Role of endothelin-converting enzyme in the systemic hemodynamics and regional circulatory effects of proendothelin-1 (1-38) and diaspirin cross-linked hemoglobin in rats. (1995)

Diaspirin cross-linked hemoglobin (DCLHb) is a promising hemoglobin-based, oxygen-carrying resuscitative solution. DCLHb (400 mg/kg, iv) produces significant cardiovascular effects, along with an increase in plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) level, when administered to conscious or anesthetized rats. Present studies were performed to determine whether the cardiovascular effects of DCLHb are due to an increase in the conversion of proendothelin-1 (1-38) (proET-1) to ET-1 by endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE). The regional circulatory and systemic hemodynamic effects of proET-1 (20 micrograms/kg, iv) and DCLHb (400 mg/kg, iv) were determined by using a radioactive microsphere technique in control rats and rats pretreated with phosphoramidon (ECE inhibitor). Administration of proET-1 produced an immediate increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP)(52%) and total peripheral resistance (TPR) (55%); stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output were not affected in the initial phase but were decreased subsequently. Heart rate (HR) was not affected after administration of proET-1. A significant increase in blood flow to the heart (39%), brain (46%), kidneys (74%), portal system (40%), and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) (42%) was also observed after administration of proET-1. Vascular resistance was found to be significantly increased in the mesentery and pancreas (168%) and in the musculoskeletal system (147%) and decreased in the kidneys (-11%) after administration of proET-1. Phosphoramidon (4 mg/kg, iv) pretreatment attenuated the increase in MAP and TPR induced by proET-1. Phosphoramidon pretreatment significantly attenuated the proET-1-induced increase in blood flow to the heart, brain, kidneys, portal system, and GIT. The increase in vascular resistance induced by proET-1 in the mesentery and pancreas and in the musculoskeletal system was also attenuated by phosphoramidon. DCLHb increased MAP (63%) and TPR (54%) without affecting HR. DCLHb increased blood flow to the heart (95%), GIT (45%), portal system (43%), and skin (79%) and increased vascular resistance in the musculoskeletal system (58%). In phosphoramidon-treated rats, DCLHb increased MAP (99%), HR (25%), cardiac output (37%), and TPR (60%). DCLHb increased blood flow to the heart (104%), brain (66%), kidneys (49%), GIT (59%), portal system (63%), and skin (100%) when administered to phosphoramidon-treated rats. Phosphoramidon did not attenuate any of the DCLHb-induced cardiovascular effects. It is concluded that proET-1 increases blood flow to various organs and that phosphoramidon, an ECE inhibitor, could block the proET-1-induced increases in regional blood flow.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
Phase II: Relative Zentralisierung. Forschungs- und Technologiepolitik und die Regionalisierung der bundesstaatlichen Förderzuweisungen in der Informationstechnologie (1997)

Die oben vorgestellten regionalen Ansiedlungen können, wie gerade angedeutet, zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt von der nationalen Ebene als Dispositive aufgegriffen und durch die zentralstaatliche Forschungs- und Technologiepolitik eine weitere Dynamik erfahren. In ihren Kriterien zur Verteilung von Fördermitteln richtet sich die Bundesebene nach Gesichtspunkten, die der technologisch-industriellen Entwicklung und der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der nationalen Industrien in globalen Märkten entsprechen, und nicht primär nach einer regionalen Bedarfsstruktur. Im folgenden wird untersucht, welche regionalen Effekte die unter diesem Aspekt vorgenommenen Fördermittelzuweisungen haben.
Solar Cells Application of p-type poly-Si Thin Film by Aluminum Induced Crystallization (2017)

We applied aluminum-induced crystallization (AIC) as a technique to realize heavily doped p-type polycrystalline Si layer at low temperature for the rear side of tunnel oxide passivated contact concept solar cell. Systematic temperature variation of AIC revealed that annealing at a temperature slightly lower than the eutectic temperature (577°C) is effective to improve solar cell performance. This is explained by reduced resistivity for low contact resistance while avoiding meltinz of AI-Si.
Solubilization of Reduced Graphene in Water through Noncovalent Interaction with Dendrimers (2010)

Abstract Solubilization of reduced graphene is simply attempted through in situ reduction of graphene oxide (GO) solution in the presence of poly(propylene imine) dendrimers G4 or G5 with terminal amine groups through noncovalent interaction. Interestingly, porous graphene film was formed by filtration of these dendrimer-stabilized reduced graphene solutions.
