Complex management of electrical storm in a patient with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (2017)

Electrical storm represents a major clinical emergency characterized by electrical heart instability with several recurrent episodes of ventricular arrhythmias over a short period of time. We present the case of a 67-year old male, hypertensive, diabetic who was referred to the cardiology department after a resuscitated cardiac arrest through sustained ventricular tachycardia. The echocardiography revealed a severe aspect of dilated cardiomyopathy and fibrotic aspect of inferior-posterior wall of the left ventricle. The ischemic coronary cause has been ruled out by coronary computed tomography. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) was implanted. One day after, the electrical storm and hemodynamically stability worsened requiring high dosage of amiodarone, putting therapies of ICD on “off” and the intubation of the patient. Taking all into account, an urgent electrophysiological study was performed and led to complex radiofrequency catheter ablation of the substrate of the lateral, medium-ventricular wall. Afterwards, the electrical storm did not reappear, the ICD therapies were put on “on” and the patient was rapidly extubated, being discharged with pharmacological recommendations, the milestone being the anti-arrhythmic treatment. Though the treatment of electrical storm is complex but still unclearly defined, we emphasize the need of applying all the therapeutical measures and having a prompt response to this life-threatening condition.
Hybrid optoelectronic processor for wavelength division multiplexing (2002)

Wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) systems using acoustic cells as dynamic diffraction gratings are proposed. The systems can alleviate the insertion loss caused by the wavelength drift. Thus, wavelength variation of light sources due to temperature changes can be compensated for. These systems also have the ability to control the intensity of the multiplexed beams by changing the power of the drive signal. Computer simulation results for multiplexing five channels in the 0.8 mu m region with 20-nm wavelength separation are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
An approach for setting the stocking rate. (1988)

One of the most basic problems confronting the range manager concerns determination of the correct stocking on different ranges. Although this problem has received consid-erable attention since the beginning of scientific range man-agement in the early 1900&amp;apos;s, specIfic procedures or approach-es to solve this problem beyond trial and adjustment are generally unavailable. On yearlong ranges, most decisions regarding adjustment in stocking rates are made at the end of the growing season in the fall. The standing crop is estimated and animal numbers are adjusted so a minimum residue of dry matter remains prior to the time that growth is initiated the following year. The premise here is that a certain minimum level of dry matter should always be present on a particular range to
Low-temperature Synthesis of Carbon Nanofibers/graphite Felt Composites Under Contactless Induction Heating (2023)

In this report induction heating was used for the catalytic chemical vapor decomposition synthesis of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on Ni-based catalyst. The CNFs were produced with a high yield at a relatively low temperature compared to that observed for conventional heating through convection and conduction. The process also occurred in the absence of secondary toxic organic compounds, formed through side reaction in the high temperature gas-phase or through decomposition on the hot wall of reactor as encountered with traditional Joule heating mode. The improved CNFs yield under induction heating was attributed to the high reaction temperature control thanks to the high temperature regulation rate provided by the induction heating coil. The local heating of the nickel nanoparticles by the electromagnetic field could also contribute to the improvement of the CNFs yield. The results obtained indicate that inductive heating mode could be of great interest for improving the heat transfer in catalytic processes and also to reduce the problem of gradient temperature occurring inside the catalyst bed during the operating of highly exothermic or endothermic processes. It is expected that such electricity-driven heating mode could have contributed in an efficient way toward the electrification of different catalytic processes in order to reduce the associated carbon footprint.
Transformation of sound-pressure level from the free field to the eardrum presented in numerical form (1985)

In an earlier work [E. A. G. Shaw, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 56, 1848-1861 (1974)], self-consistent families of curves which best fitted the experimental data from 12 studies were presented to show the average sound-pressure transformation from the free field to the human eardrum in the horizontal plane. Tabulated values of azimuthal dependence at 15-deg intervals in azimuth and transformation to the eardrum at 0 degree azimuth are given at 43 selected frequencies between 0.2 and 12 kHz. These values are self-consistent within 0.1 dB.
Analysis of lossy multiconductor transmission lines using the asymptotic waveform evaluation technique (1991)

A method is described for the transient analysis of lossy coupled transmission line networks with nonlinear elements. The method combines the asymptotic waveform evaluation technique with a piecewise decomposition algorithm. Two to three orders of magnitude speedup can be achieved relative to previously published methods with comparable accuracy. The method is useful for delay and crosstalk simulation of high speed VLSI interconnects.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Cocaine Abuse Sharply Reduced in an Effective Methadone Maintenance Program (1999)

A comprehensive study of an urban methadone clinic with supervised urine analyses for illicit drugs was conducted over an 18 month period for a 133 patient cohort as they entered or remained in methadone maintenance for narcotic addiction. Overall retention during the study was 85%, with significantly (p < .05) higher daily methadone doses (mean 67.1 mg +/- 2.1) in those patients still in treatment at the end of the study. Predictably, illicit opioid use was dramatically reduced, to 10% as measured by urine toxicology in the last month of treatment. Moreover, significantly more patients stopped regular cocaine abuse (69%) than started using cocaine (10%, Fisher's exact test, p = .02). Thus, with effective methadone maintenance using adequate dosages, the majority of patients remain in treatment and reduce cocaine abuse as well as illicit opioid use, with implications for public health by reducing the spread of infectious diseases including hepatitis B, C, D and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1).
Low‐ and zero‐sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur anti‐wear additives for engine oils (2008)

Abstract Modern engine lubricant specifications include compositional constraints in terms of the permitted level of sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur (SAPS). This necessitates a reduction in the concentration of the additive zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) used in engine oils, and there is currently great interest in identifying anti‐wear additives that contain low or zero SAPS to partially or wholly replace ZDDP. This paper reviews the main chemical classes that are reported in the literature as potential low‐ or zero‐SAPS anti‐wear agents. There are many such possible additives, although none appears to be quite as versatile as ZDDP. Instead, combinations of anti‐wear and extreme pressure additives are likely to be employed in the future. The literature reveals a strong imbalance in the amount and depth of research carried out on the various additive types, with a great deal of research on a few classes of additives and very little recent work on most others.

Factors Affecting the Formation of In vitro Tubers of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) (1984)

In vitro (mini) tubers were induced within 6–8 weeks in serially propagated potato shoot cultures by subculturing to medium containing 2.0 mg 1−1 benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 6 per cent sucrose in 8- and 24-h days. The effect of BAP in promoting tubering was greater in short than in long days. In short days most of the tubers were formed above the agar, in long days within the agar. Tubering was promoted less effectively by the addition of (2-chloroethyl)-trimethylammonium chloride (CCC) to the medium, but CCC reinforced the effect of BAP leading to earlier tubering above the agar. Tubering eventually took place after 4—5 months on medium without hormones, sooner in short than in long days. Periods of short days and low temperatures given to long-day cultures did not accelerate tubering. Abscisic acid had little effect on, and GA2 strongly inhibited, tubering. Tubering was also inhibited by sealing the culture vessels but not if ethylene-absorbing agents were included.
Effect of progesterone administration in male and female smokers on nicotine withdrawal and neural response to smoking cues: role of progesterone conversion to allopregnanolone (2022)

Conversion of progesterone to allopregnanolone correlated with smoking-related outcomes in both sex-dependent and sex-independent ways. Sex-dependent effects suggest that conversion of progesterone to allopregnanolone may contribute to greater therapeutic benefits in females but not males with TUD.

Particulate Debris Released From Breast Implant Surfaces Is Highly Dependent on Implant Type (2021)

Abstract Background Although breast implants (BIs) have never been safer, factors such as implant debris may influence complications such as chronic inflammation and illness such as ALCL (anaplastic large cell lymphoma). Do different types of BIs produce differential particulate debris? Objectives The aim of this study was to quantify, investigate, and characterize the size, amount, and material type of both loosely bound and adherent surface particles on 5 different surface types of commercial BIs. Methods Surface particles from BIs of 5 surface types (n = 5/group), Biocell, Microcell, Siltex, Smooth, SmoothSilk, and Traditional-Smooth, were: (1) removed by a rinsing procedure and (2) removed with ultrapure adhesive carbon tabs. Particles were characterized (ASTM 1877-16) by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray chemical analysis. Results Particles rinsed from Biocell, Microcell and Siltex were &amp;lt;1 μm in diameter whereas SmoothSilk and Traditional-Smooth surfaces had median sizes &amp;gt;1 μm (range, 0.4-2.7 μm). The total mass of particles rinsed from the surfaces indicated Biocell had &amp;gt;5-fold more particulate compared with all other implants, and &amp;gt;30-fold more than SmoothSilk or Traditional-Smooth implants (&amp;gt;100-fold more for post-rinse adhesion analysis). Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis indicated that the particulate material for Biocell, Microcell, and Siltex was silicone (&amp;gt;50%), whereas particulates from SmoothSilk and Traditional-Smooth implants were predominantly carbon-based polymers, eg, polycarbonate-urethane, consistent with packaging (and were detected on all implant types). Generally, SmoothSilk and Traditional-Smooth implant groups released &amp;gt;10-fold fewer particles than Biocell, Microcell, and Siltex surfaces. Pilot ex vivo tissue analysis supported these findings. Conclusions Particulate debris released from BIs are highly dependent on the type of implant surface and are a likely key determinant of in vivo performance. Level of Evidence: 5
7.9 pJ/Step Energy-Efficient Multi-Slope 13-bit Capacitance-to-Digital Converter (2014)

In this brief, an energy-efficient capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) is presented. The proposed CDC uses digitally controlled coarse-fine multi-slope integration to digitize a wide range of capacitance in short conversion time. Both integration current and frequency are scaled, which leads to significant improvement in the energy efficiency of both analog and digital circuitry. Mathematical analysis for circuit nonidealities, noise, and improvement in energy efficiency is provided. A prototype fabricated in a 0.35-μm CMOS process occupies 0.09 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and consumes a total of 153 μA from 3.3 V supply while achieving 13-bit resolution. The operation of the prototype is experimentally verified using MEMS capacitive pressure sensor. Compared to recently published work, the prototype achieves an excellent energy efficiency of 7.9 pJ/Step.
Current Guidelines for Classifying and Diagnosing Cervical Dystonia: Empirical Evidence and Recommendations (2021)

Although focal cervical dystonia is the most common type of dystonia, a high percentage of subjects given this diagnosis had dystonia outside of the neck region. This observation points to the need for more specific guidelines for defining this common disorder. Such guidelines are proposed here.

A comprehensive explanation on the high quality characteristics of symmetrical octagonal spiral inductor (2003)

Conventional non-symmetrical spiral inductor, which is commonly used in GaAs technology, has limited achievable quality factor when used in silicon LC tanks circuit. As a result, the research of symmetrical, arbitrarily-shaped spiral inductor for silicon technology becomes very important and challenging. However, the detailed mechanism of how the symmetrical, arbitrarily-shaped spiral inductor can achieve a high quality factor is still a mystery. In this paper, we attempt to give a detailed explanation on how the symmetrical, arbitrarily-shaped spiral inductor helps to improve the overall quality factor over that of a traditional, non-symmetrical arbitrarily-shaped spiral inductor. Experimental results are presented to verify our theory. It is hope with this new understanding, alternate forms of symmetrical spiral inductor of high quality factor can be derived.
Satisfaction following Unilateral Breast Reconstruction (2015)

Patients who underwent unilateral pedicled TRAM flap reconstruction experienced greater initial breast satisfaction than patients who underwent unilateral free abdominal flap reconstruction, but satisfaction equalized between the two over time, suggesting that long-term satisfaction may be equivalent between the 2 methods of reconstruction.
High speed flash analog-to-digital converter (2005)

In this paper, we design a pipelined flash ADC to achieve high speed of 2 GHz in 0.18 mum CMOS technology using Cadence design tools. We design a high speed track and hold and a novel thermometer to binary encoder. We considered several approaches to design the track and hold circuit, such as buffered track and hold, switched capacitor track and hold, and single tail track and hold. These circuits are slower or have stability problems. We have used a current mode dual array track and hold, which is not only stable but also ensures good performance at 2 GHz. The thermometer to binary encoder can be designed using fat tree encoder, differential cascade voltage switch using pass gate encoder and ROM encoder with pass gates. We implement a novel encoder, which has advantages of high speed and hardware reduction over existing encoder circuits. A clocked DCVSPG XOR gate and a quantum voltage comparator are also used to improve the speed of the proposed flash ADC
Synthesis and Evaluation of Novel 7 H -pyrrolo-[2,3- d ]pyrimidine Derivatives As Potential Anticancer Agents (2019)

Aim: Bladder cancer is a highly recurrent urologic malignancy with limited treatment approaches. Previously, we reported compound 11 is a FGFR3 inhibitor with significant antibladder cancer activity. Materials & methods: In this study, a series of 7H-pyrrolo-[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized through ring formation and modification of compound 11 for anticancer activity evaluation. Results: Compound 13i is the most effective agent against human RT-112 bladder cancer cells. Notably, 13i strongly inhibits CK1δ without affecting FGFR3 activity. We generated 13i HCl to increase solubility and showed profound cell cycle accumulation at the sub-G1 phase and apoptosis in CK1δ-overexpressed bladder and ovarian cancer cells. Conclusion: These results indicate that compound 13i could be a lead compound for further development of novel anticancer agents.

Problems in the design and use of a connected speech understanding system (2005)

MYRTILLE II is a connected speech understanding system which is presently designed by our research group in order to recognize a wide subset of spoken French. The syntax accepted by this system is approximately the one of basic French without pronominal references, the vocabulary is presently about 400 words. The application is concerned with a meteorological inquiry system. A first version of MYRTILLE II using a best-first left-to-right strategy is presently operational and has already been tested on a number of sentences. In this paper we present several practical examples illustrating the various choices made in the system and the interactions between processing levels : acoustic-phonetic-lexical decoding, syntactic-semantic analysis, interaction between the recognition and dialog modules, together with several programs which are intended to help in the development and use of this system.
CRISP-3, a Protein with Homology to Plant Defense Proteins, Is Expressed in Mouse B Cells under the Control of Oct2 (1996)

The Oct2 transcription factor is expressed throughout the B-lymphoid lineage and plays an essential role during the terminal phase of B-cell differentiation. Several genes specifically expressed in B lymphocytes have been identified that contain a functional octamer motif in their regulatory elements. However, expression of only a single gene, the murine CD36 gene, has been shown to date to be dependent on Oct2. Here, we present the identification and characterization of a further gene, coding for cysteine-rich secreted protein 3 (CRISP-3), whose expression in B cells is regulated by Oct2. We show that CRISP-3 is expressed in the B-lymphoid lineage specifically at the pre-B-cell stage. By using different experimental strategies, including nuclear run-on experiments, we demonstrate that this gene is transcriptionally activated by Oct2. Furthermore, analysis of CRISP-3 expression in primary B cells derived from either wild-type or Oct2-deficient mice demonstrates the dependence on Oct2. Two variant octamer motifs were identified in the upstream promoter region of the crisp-3 gene, and Oct2 interacts with both of them in vitro. Cotransfection experiments with expression vectors for Oct1 and Oct2 together with a reporter driven by the crisp-3 promoter showed that transcriptional activation of this promoter can only be achieved with Oct2. The C-terminal transactivation domain of Oct2 is required for this activation. Finally, introducing specific mutations in the two variant octamer motifs revealed that both of them are important for full transcriptional activation by Oct2.
Linear Recurrent Sequences and Polynomial Roots (2001)

We consider the problem of the determination of the largest modulus of a root of a complex polynomial P. Lower and upper bounds are derived using properties of appropriate linear recurrent sequences associated to P. This allows us to give the absolute value of a dominant root as the limit in Bernoulli's process. We finally discuss a rule of Jacobi in his refinement of Bernoulli's method. Relevant examples are obtained through pari and maple procedures.
Performance of IP Micro-Mobility Management Schemes using Host Based Routing (2001)

Global IP mobility solutions using protocols like Mobile IP (MIP) and SIP are not optimized to handle micro-mobility management, where low-latency handoffs are essential, to avoid inefficiencies and performance degradation. Host based routing (HBR) schemes, such as HAWAII, Cellular IP and MMP are one of two main classes of schemes for IP micromobility management, the other being hierarchical Mobile IPderived schemes. We look at performance issues of HBR schemes, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Various simulation results and prototype system measurements demonstrate the superiority of HBR schemes over both MIP and hierarchical MIP-derived micro-mobility schemes in terms of fewer packets dropped per handoff for UDP traffic and better TCP throughput under a variety of scenarios. Key words Mobile communications, wireless IP, HBR, Mobile IP, SIP, micro-mobility management. 1.
Flow forecasting models using hydrologic and hydrometric data (2016)

River flow forecasting is important for successful water resources planning and management. The current study investigated the applicability of the artificial neural network (Ann), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (Anfis), wavelet-Ann (Wann) and wavelet-Anfis (Wanfis) for daily river flow forecasting in Karaj River. Three scenarios were used. In the first scenario, meteorological data were used as input variables for model development. In the second, flow discharge data were used, while the third scenario used a combination of scenarios 1 and 2 as input variables for model development. For each scenario, different combinations of time series were considered. In the Wann and Wanfis models, the effective sub-time series components obtained by discrete wavelet transform were used as the new inputs to Ann and Anfis models to predict daily river flow time series. Wann was found to be the best technique for daily flow prediction throughout this study. The results indicate that the best Wann model (R 2 test = 0·993, RMSE test = 0·004) outperformed the best Wanfis model (R 2 test = 0·976, RMSE test = 0·008). The results show that only the input structures of scenarios 2 and 3 are efficient input structures for flow prediction in the study area. It was also shown that Wann models are capable of delivering an accurate flow prediction up to the next 4 d.
