Effect of crop duration and soil type on the ability of soil sulfur tests to predict plant response to sulfur (1997)

Soil testing for sulfur (S) is becoming increasingly important as soils become more S-deficient due to lower S inputs in fertiliser and higher offtake in product. Because of the differing rates of S supply required by a range of crops, the relative importance of the soil sulfate and organic S pools could be expected to vary between crops. A glasshouse experiment was conducted using an Aquic Haplustalf of granitic origin and an Ultic Haplustalf of basaltic origin collected from unfertilised pasture sites on the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales from Uralla and Walcha, respectively. The soil was labelled with 35S. The experiment consisted of 2 rates of S fertiliser (0 and 17·7 mg/kg soil, equivalent to 0 and 30 kg S/ha), 3 crop species (radish, corn, ryegrass), and 2 soils (granite and basalt). S was extracted using 2 extracts, mono-calcium phosphate (MCP) and 0·25 M KCl heated at 40°C (KCl-40), termed primary extracts, and the components of S in the extracts were determined. The relationship between the amount of S removed from the extract (S before planting – S after cropping) by the 2 test extractants in the – S treatment and plant S uptake was also determined. A higher S concentration was found in the KCl-40 extract than in the MCP extract in the granite soil. Conversely, the MCP extract had a higher S concentration in the basalt soil because of the relative size of the adsorbed S and ester-S pools in this soil. More than 33% of the 35S was recovered in the extracted S pool, and &amp;lt;11% from the organic S pool in both extractants and in both soils. Data showed a lower specific activity (SA) of the S in the MCP extract as measured by ICP than in KCl-40 in both soils and all crops. The specific activity ratio of the extractants, as measured by ICP, was closest to 1·00 for the KCl-40 extract in both soils for each crop. The removal of S from the MCP extractant during cropping was lower than plant uptake in all treatments except ryegrass in the basalt soil. The KCl-40 extract tended to underestimate S supply at low uptake and overestimate at higher uptake. The results reported in this experiment showed that the KCl-40 extract generally performed well for all 3 crops and on both soils. The data showed that the KCl-40 extract removed S from pools similar to those reached by the crops.

1124 Economic evaluation of neuropsychiatric (NP) lupus in an international inception cohort using a multistate model approach (2021)

<h3>Background</h3> Little is known about the economic burden of NP lupus. We estimated direct and indirect costs (DC, IC) associated with NP events attributed to SLE and non-SLE causes using multistate modelling. <h3>Methods</h3> Patients fulfilling ACR classification criteria for SLE from 31 centres in 11 countries were enrolled within 15 months of diagnosis. NP events were documented annually using ACR NP definitions and attributed to SLE or non-SLE causes. At each assessment and for SLE and non-SLE events, patients were stratified into 1 of 3 NP states (no, resolved, or new/ongoing NP event). The change in NP status characterized by transition rates between states was analyzed using multistate modelling (doi:10.1002/art.41876). At each assessment, annual DC and IC were based on health resource use and lost work-force/non-work-force productivity over the preceding year. Resource use was costed using 2021 Canadian prices and lost productivity using Statistics Canada age-and-sex specific wages. Costs associated with SLE and non-SLE NP states were calculated by averaging all observations in each NP state. Multiple regressions adjusted for possible confounding of age at diagnosis, sex, race/ethnicity, disease duration, geographic region, education, and smoking on the association of annual DC and IC and NP state. 5 and 10-year cumulative costs for NP states were predicted by multiplying adjusted annual costs for each state by the expected state duration, forecasted using multistate modelling. <h3>Results</h3> 1697 patients (89% female, 51% non-Caucasian race/ethnicity, mean age at enrolment 35.1 years) were followed a mean of 8.8 years. 1971 NP events occurred in 956 patients, 32% attributed to SLE. For SLE NP events, annual DC were higher in those with new/ongoing vs no events ($10,809 vs $6715) (table 1). Annual and 5-yr IC were higher in new/ongoing vs no events and new/ongoing vs resolved events (5-yr: new/ongoing vs no: $172,674 vs $136,970). For non-SLE NP events, annual IC were higher in new/ongoing vs no events, new/ongoing vs resolved events, and resolved vs no events and 5 and 10-yr IC were higher in new/ongoing vs no events (10-yr: new/ongoing vs no: $342,434 vs $279,874). For all NP states, IC exceeded DC 2.8 to 4-fold. <h3>Conclusion</h3> IC are 1.3-fold higher in patients with new/ongoing vs no NP events. While DC trended higher in new/ongoing events, they were not significantly higher across all NP states and times. Impaired productivity associated with ongoing and resolved NP lupus is substantial, contributing to the previously documented reduced quality of life.
Биполярная трансуретральная резекция в физиологическом растворе при осложненных формах доброкачественной гиперплазии предстательной железы (2016)

Background. It was analysed the results of the treatment of patients with complicated benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by the bipolar (BP) transurethral resection (TUR). Methods. In the study included 604 patients with BPH, who were divided into two groups. the main group included 271 patients who received treatment after the introduction of the practice of BP TUR. In the control group (333 patients), the treatment was carried out before the introduction of BP TUR. Results. Complicated BPH was at 51.8 % of patients. The age of patients with high-risk of BPH (median 70 years) was significantly higher than in patients without complications (median 64 years). Prostate volume was also greater in complicated BPH (median 77 and 64 cm3, respectively). BP TUR significantly more often performed in complicated BPH, than monopolar TUR. Due to it the main group achieved a reduction in the number of open prostatectomy and epitsistostomy. The mean duration of hospitalization in the study group (10 days) was significantly lower than in the control group (14 days). conclusions. More than half of the patients with BPH, surgery is performed only at the stage of development of complications. Age and prostate volume are risk factors for complications of BPH. Application of BP TUR reduces the need for epitsistostomiyah and open prostatectomy reduces the period of hospitalization. BP TUR has a good safety profile, including complicated BPH.
120W Ka Band Power Amplifier Utilizing GaN MMICs and Coaxial Waveguide Spatial Power Combining (2015)

The availability of increasingly higher power commercial microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifiers enables the construction of solid state amplifiers achieving output powers and performance previously achievable only from traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs). A high efficiency power amplifier incorporating an antipodal finline antenna array within a coaxial waveguide is investigated at Ka Band. The coaxial waveguide combiner structure is used to demonstrate a 120 Watt power amplifier from 27 to 31GHz by combining quantity (16), 10 Watt GaN MMIC devices; achieving typical PAE of 25% for the overall power amplifier assembly.
An Underwater Augmented Reality system for commercial diving operations (2009)

This paper describes the implementation of a novel prototypical underwater augmented reality (UWAR) system that provides visual aids to increase commercial divers' capability to detect, perceive, and understand elements in underwater environments. During underwater operations, a great amount of stress is imposed on divers by environmental and working conditions such as pressure, visibility, weightlessness, current, etc. Those factors cause a restriction in divers' sensory inputs, cognition and memory, which are essentials for locating within the surroundings and performing their task effectively. The focus of this research was to improve some of those conditions by adding elements in divers' views in order to increase awareness and safety in commercial diving operations. We accomplished our goal by assisting divers in locating the work site, keeping informed about orientation and position (constantly), and providing a 3D virtual model for an assembling task. The system consisted of a video see-through head mounted display (HMD) with a Web cam in front of it, protected by a custom waterproof housing placed over the diving mask. As a very first step, optical square-markers were used for positioning and orientation tracking purposes (POSE). The tracking was implemented with a ubiquitous-tracking software (Ubitrack). Finally, we discuss the possible implications of a diver-machine synergy.
A New Dual-Field Elliptic Curve Cryptography Processor (2006)

A new elliptic curve cryptography (ECC processor is proposed in this paper, which supports Galois fields GF(p) and GF(2/sup n/) arithmetic for arbitrary prime numbers and irreducible polynomials by introducing a dual-field unified algorithm and data-path. To speed up the scalar multiplication, OJW (optimal joint weight) form is used to convert the integers to optimal signed-binary form on the fly, which is especially useful for the verifying operation of elliptic curve digital signature algorithm. Also in this paper, Montgomery multiplication and modular division algorithm are unified to achieve high area-efficiency and carry-save redundant form of the intermediate results is preserved to reduce the critical path delay. At the same time, the EC arithmetic is executed in an anti-attack form ensuring the proposed design against side-channel power attacks efficiently.
Batroxobin on cultured retinal pigment epithelial cells (2008)

Objective To investigate the effect of batroxobin on growth of cultured retinal pigment epithelium(RPE).Methods Cultured RPE were exposed to different concentrations of batroxobin in vitro and the proliferation of RPE was measured by Methylthiazolyl-tetrazolium cell viability assay.Results When the concentration less then 1/10 KU·mL-1,there was no significant differences of optical density(OD)values for control group comparing with batroxobin groups at different concentrations 1/100 KU·mL-1,1/32 KU·mL-1,1/16 KU·mL-1,1/10 KU·mL-1(P=0.068,0.455,0.675,0.159);When concentration reach to 1/8 KU·mL-1,the OD values decreased significantly(P=0.000).The OD values had negative correlation with the osmotic pressure of culture solution(r=-0.951,P=0.000).There was no statistical difference on the OD values between batroxobin group and the control group with corresponding osmotic pressure(P=0.749).Conclusion Batroxobin has no effect on the proliferation of RPE cultured in vitro when the osmotic pressure is acceptable.Further study is needed for Batroxobin on the control of intraocular bleeding during vitreous surgery.
Formation and Possible Applications of Polymeric Langmuir-Blodgett Films. A Review (1981)

Abstract The importance and potential of the Langmuir-Blodgett (L-B) technique for preparing new materials have resulted in an increased interest in this technique. One of the objectives of this paper is to review some of the studies previously done on one type of material which is obtained by the Langmuir-Blodgett tech-nique, i .e., the polymeric LangmuirBlodgett films. Langmuir-Blodgett films are monolayers or multilayers of a particular material which are usually obtained as monolayers by deposition at a liquid-gas interface (usually water-air) and as multilayers by building up monolayers on a chosen substrate.
Bubble Capture by Large Hydrofoil Tip Vortex (2001)

The interaction of gas bubbles with a vortex is investigated experimentally to clarify the\nrole of the initial bubble position on its trajectory around the tip vortex shed from a large\nhydrofoil. The experiments performed with 4-6mm bubbles show that the bubbles can\nundergo no capture, quick capture into the tip vortex or slow capture with a spiral\ntrajectory around the vortex.
Imatinib inhibits various types of activating mutant kit found in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (2003)

Mutations of proto-oncogene c-KIT in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are considered to cause a constitutive activation of KIT responsible for their oncogenesis. Imatinib has therapeutic potential for GISTs because of its inhibitory effect on KIT kinase activity. To investigate the effect of Imatinib on various c-KIT mutations found in GISTs, we examined kinase activity of KIT, cell proliferation and tumorigenicity of transfectants with various c-KIT mutations. Murine lymphoid Ba/F3 cells transfected with one of the three types of mutants (KIT(del559-560), KIT(642Glu), and KIT(820Tyr)) or wild-type KIT were used for the experiments. Phosphorylation of KIT, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) and Akt was studied by immunoblotting with or without immunoprecipitation. In vitro studies on cell proliferation using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenylcetrazolium bromide colorimetric assay and in vivo tumorigenicity assay using nude mice were also carried out. Imatinib could inhibit the KIT, MAP and Akt phosphorylation of all the transfectants but had a weaker effect on KIT(820Tyr). Imatinib potently inhibited the proliferation of cells transfected with KIT(820Tyr) at the concentration of 10 microM whereas it inhibited the other 3 types at 1 microM. Moreover, Imatinib could inhibit the tumor formation in nude mice transplanted with transfectants. In various types of activating mutant KIT, Imatinib could inhibit the constitutive activation of KIT signal transduction and cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo although the effect of Imatinib on KIT(820Tyr) was weaker than that on KIT(del559-560) or KIT(642Glu).

The high charge density and the high breakdown strength of these systems make them promising for electronics and plasmonics, as well as for new applications of correlated electron gas systems [4].

Cosurfactant Effect of a Semifluorinated Alkane at a Fluorocarbon/Water Interface:  Impact on the Stabilization of Fluorocarbon-in-Water Emulsions (2004)

Previous work has demonstrated that semifluorinated alkanes CnF2n+1CmH2m+1 (FnHm diblocks), when used in conjunction with phospholipids, strongly stabilize fluorocarbon (FC)-in-water emulsions destined to be used as oxygen carriers. Although the presence of FnHm diblocks in the emulsion's interfacial phospholipid film was suggested to account for the observed stabilization, no direct proof of the diblock's location has been provided so far. We now report definite experimental evidence of the diblock's presence at the interfacial film, both on a macroscopic level by investigating the FC/water interface using the pendant drop method and directly on emulsions by monitoring their stability for various phospholipid chain lengths. We first establish that F8H16 has a strong cosurfactant effect with phospholipids [dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), dilaurylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC), dioctanoylphosphatidylcholine (PCL8)] at a perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB)/water interface, as evidenced by a dramatic F8H16-concentration-dependent decrease of the interfacial tension. Where FC emulsions are concerned, we show that the stabilization effect, which consists of a decrease of the rate of molecular diffusion of the FC, depends strongly on the length of the phospholipid's fatty chain as compared to the length of the hydrocarbon segment, Hm, of the diblock. Stabilization is maximized when the Hm length is similar to that of the phospholipid's fatty chains. A strong mismatch between Hm and the phospholipid chain length can actually destabilize the emulsion. A different destabilization mechanism is then at work: coalescence. The presence of F8H16 at the interfacial film is further supported by the fact that perfluorodecyl bromide, a heavy analogue of PFOB that stabilizes PFOB emulsions by lowering the solubility and diffusibility of the emulsion's dispersed FC phase, exercises its stabilizing effect similarly for all the phospholipids investigated.
Characterization of starch structures and properties of maize mutants from the Oh43 inbred line (1992)

Starches were isolated from the maize (Zea may L.) inbred line, Oh43, and its single mutants [amylose extender (ae), brittle-1 (btl), brittle-2 (bt2), dull-1 (dul), floury-2 (fl2), homy (h), shrunken-2 (sh2), sugary-1 (sul), and waxy (wz)]. and the double-mutant combinations within Oh43. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the onset temperature (TQ), range, enthalpy (AH) of gelatinization and retrogradation, and percentage of retrogradation (r%). The gel strength was measured by using a Voland-Stevens texture analyzer. For gelatinization, the starches of wj: dul and sh2 dul had the highest TQ. Double-mutants ae bt2 and bt2 dul had the highest Tp of retrogradation. The highest AH of gelatinization was observed for h wx. The gelatinization enthalpy peak for btl starch had a characteristic low temperature shoulder and wide range. Compared with the respective single mutants, most double-mutant combinations had higher TQ and AH for gelatinization and lower TQ for retrogradation. For gel strength, the dul starch gave the lowest values for Hrmness and stickiness among the samples. Double mutants generally had gel strength measurements lower than those of the single mutants btl, bt2,fl2, h, and sh2, but higher than those of dul.
Sialidase-Enhanced Lectin-Like Mechanism for Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii Hemagglutination (1980)

Laboratory strains representing six numerical taxonomy clusters and fresh isolates of human Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii were studied by standard flocculation slide tests for the ability to hemagglutinate erythrocytes (RBC) from various animal species. Human AB and horse RBC were agglutinated more frequently and rapidly than others; guinea pig RBC were agglutinated by only a few strains. Human AB RBC were selected for studies of hemagglutination mechanisms. Treatment of RBC with clostridial neuraminidase (NTRBC) greatly enhanced hemagglutination for almost all strains. In hapten inhibition experiments in which various concentrations of sugars were used, beta-galactosides were the most effective inhibitors of hemagglutination for both RBC and NTRBC; inhibition of NTRBC agglutination required higher concentrations. Soybean lectin agglutinated both RBC and NTRBC but not Actinomyces cells. NTRBC agglutinated at a 125-fold-lower concentration. Hemagglutination was sensitive to ethylenediaminetetraacetate for one strain tested. Hemagglutination reactions were reversible by addition of beta-galactosides. The ability of Actinomyces strains to "prime" RBC for hemagglutination by removing sialic acid to expose more penultimate beta-galactoside sites was studied by recycling Actinomyces-agglutinated RBC which were dispersed with a lactose solution and washed free of bacteria (primed RBC). Priming in this manner augmented subsequent hemagglutination by indicator Actinomyces strains and made the RBC more sensitive to agglutination by soybean lectin. The priming ability of Actinomyces strains generally correlated with the amount of sialic acid removed from primed RBC. Strains representing the numerical taxonomy clusters differed in both their hemagglutinating and priming activities. Cluster 5 strains (typical A. naeslundii) were good agglutinators of RBC, NTRBC, and primed RBC but were poor primers. Cluster 3 strains (atypical A. naeslundii) were the weakest hemagglutinators but could prime RBC adequately for subsequent agglutination by other strains. Together, these data indicate that Actinomyces hemagglutination proceeds via a two-step mechanism: (i) neuraminidase removal of terminal sialic acid and (ii) lectin-like binding to exposed beta-galactoside-associated sites on the RBC. Strains differ in the extent to which they can perform the two functions, and this specificity may relate to their taxonomic classification.
