A Life Course Perspective on Childhood Cheerfulness and its Relation to Mortality Risk (2002)

Under some conditions, cheerfulness promotes health, but cheerfulness also has been associated with unfavorable health outcomes. This study follows up the inverse relation between childhood cheerfulness and longevity found among 1,215 men and women first assessed as children by Lewis Terman in 1922. Risky hobbies, smoking, drinking, and obesity, as well as cause of death, are examined, along with adulthood personality and adjustment. Several hypotheses about mediating variables can be eliminated by these analyses; these data do hint, however, that cheerful children grow up to be more careless about their health. Although correlational and survival analyses suggest that health behaviors play a role, they are unable to explain the observed cheerfulness-mortality link, thus supporting the idea that cheerfulness is multifaceted and should not be assumed to be related to health in a simple manner.
Silicon Prediction Model of Blast Furnace Based on ARX and PCR (2018)

Silicon content in hot metal ([Si]) is an important variable in actual blast furnace production, since it is regarded as the chief indicator of in-furnace thermal status(IFTS). For actual applications, practical [Si] prediction models need to predict the long-term outcome. In other words, if the lead time is shorter, it is easier to predict [Si] correctly, but it is too late to take actions. This paper presents a long-term prediction model. In order to predict the long-term outcome, the delay times of the input variables are analyzed, and a prediction model based on auto-regressive eXogenous(ARX) model is established where Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is used to find the optimal model from a set of the alternative models. Principal component regression(PCR) is used to compute future [Si] for reducing dimension and noise filtration. The [Si] prediction model is very helpful for BF operation because it predict the long-term outcome. It can assist BF operators to monitor and control the IFTS timely. The practical application results show the effectiveness of the model.

Gettering of donor impurities by V in GaAs and the growth of semi-insulating crystals (1989)

Vanadium added to the GaAs melt getters shallow donor impurities (Si and S) and decreases their concentration in the grown crystals. This gettering is driven by chemical reactions in the melt rather than in the solid. Employing V gettering, we were able to grow reproducibly semi-insulating GaAs by horizontal Bridgman and liquid-encapsulated Czochralski techniques, although V did not introduce any midgap energy levels. The compensation mechanism in these crystals was controlled by the balance between the native midgap donor EL2 and residual shallow acceptors. Vanadium gettering contributed to the reduction of the concentration of shallow donors below the concentration of acceptors. The present findings clarify the long-standing controversy on the role of V in achieving semi-insulating GaAs.
Making good connections. (1995)

Suggestions are made on how best to integrate sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening and education within family planning (FP) programs in the UK. FP programs are in a good position to advise about HIV infections and STDs because most clients are in a vulnerable age group (women aged 15-50 years) and because health personnel are experienced in discussing sexual issues. When FP clinics do not provide STD services, the options are to collaborate on joint referral and training efforts with STD clinics and to train staff to recognize and talk about STDs. Information about STDs can be clearly displayed in the clinics. Health personnel can talk about STD transmission to clients, explain the role of condoms in infection prevention, and demonstrate how to use condoms properly. Examples are given of integrated HIV and STD and FP programs in the US, Gambia, Zambia, and Mexico. In the US, Planned Parenthood of New York City trains staff in prevention and counseling skills and supervises staff until a level of comfort is reached. HIV and AIDS education and risk assessment are part of the initial and annual follow-up visits. The Gambia FP Association helps staff learn to counsel clients about the problems with sexual satisfaction between men and women and with communication between partners, impotence, painful intercourse from female circumcision, STDs and AIDS, infertility, and contraceptive side effects. In Zambia, a women's organization helps women prepare educational skits on condom use for males and helps women learn to talk with spouses about condom use without suffering rejection or charges of infidelity. The Ghana Planned Parenthood Association has a Daddy's Club where men learn about HIV and safe sex with condoms and meet for private counseling. Mexfam in Mexico educates for female farm laborers on sex education, FP, reproductive health and pregnancy, child health, water and sanitation, and energy-saving methods.
Laser interferometric chromoretinometry in the clinical use (2003)

The method of so-called laser interferometric chromoretinometry based on the use of laser sources with different colors of light in retinometer is considered. The results of application of this method for determination of retinal visual acuity (RVA) at various diseases of eye and for diagnostics of the earliest age pathological changes of a crystalline lens are discussed. Transformation of scatterers structure in the eye at age pathological changes of a crystalline lens results in essential changes in scattering of light angular spectra. Intensity of the scattered light depends on the wavelength, hence, the decrease of contrast of intererence fringes for different wavelengths is different. The dependence of fringe contrast on the wavelength can be used for in vivo diagnostics of crystalline lens pathology.

Immunomodulatory Roles of Surfactant Proteins A and D: Implications in Lung Disease (2007)

Surfactant, a lipoprotein complex, was originally described for its essential role in reducing surface tension at the air-liquid interface of the lung; however, it is now recognized as being a critical component in lung immune host defense. Surfactant proteins (SP)-A and -D are pattern recognition molecules of the collectin family of C-type lectins. SP-A and SP-D are part of the innate immune system and regulate the functions of other innate immune cells, such as macrophages. They also modulate the adaptive immune response by interacting with antigen-presenting cells and T cells, thereby linking innate and adaptive immunity. Emerging studies suggest that SP-A and SP-D function to modulate the immunologic environment of the lung so as to protect the host and, at the same time, modulate an overzealous inflammatory response that could potentially damage the lung and impair gas exchange. Numerous polymorphisms of SPs have been identified that may potentially possess differential functional abilities and may act via different receptors to ultimately alter the susceptibility to or severity of lung diseases.
Inhibition of low-density lipoprotein receptor degradation with a cyclic peptide that disrupts the homodimerization of IDOL E3 ubiquitin ligase (2018)

Cellular uptake of circulating cholesterol occurs <i>via</i> the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). The E3 ubiquitin ligase IDOL is a mediator of LDLR degradation, with IDOL homodimerization thought to be required for its activity. To probe the possibility of modulating LDLR levels with an inhibitor of IDOL homodimerization, we screened a SICLOPPS library of 3.2 million cyclic peptides for compounds that disrupt this protein-protein interaction. We identified <i>cyclo</i>-CFFLYT as the lead inhibitor, and improved its activity through the incorporation of non-natural amino acids. The activity of the optimized cyclic peptide was assessed in hepatic cells, with a dose-dependent increase in LDLR levels observed in the presence of our IDOL homodimerization inhibitor.
Exploring the potential of polarimetric circular SAR for glacier Monitoring: the Findel glacier case study (2016)

Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) sensors represent, nowadays, an established tool for the observation of glaciated areas. Being active microwave systems, SARs can operate in nearly all-weather conditions, during the long and dark polar winters. Moreover, exploiting the synthetic aperture concept, they are able to perform large scale and high spatial resolution observations. At dry conditions, they combine the penetration capability of microwaves into snow/ice and the sensitivity of polarimetry to different scattering mechanisms. Therefore, PolSAR measurements are sensitive to glacier surface as well as near-surface features, especially at lower frequencies (e.g. L-band). &#13;\nIn the past few years, Circular SAR (CSAR) has become of increasing interest due to its enhanced (sub-wavelength) spatial resolution and 3-D reconstruction capability allowed by multi-angular measurements over 360°. In this sense, CSAR has the potential to provide a better characterization of the imaged scene, compared to the conventional linear modes, such as stripmap. In fact, the circular trajectory of the sensor allows to observe the scene from a number of different directions and to mitigate the dependency of the backscatter on the imaging geometry (flight direction and incidence angle).&#13;\nThe objective of this study is to provide a physical interpretation of L-band polarimetric CSAR (Pol-CSAR) measurements of the Findel Glacier, a temperate glacier located in the Swiss Alps. The data collection took place in October 2014 and March 2015, when two airborne campaigns were flown by the F-SAR sensor of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Data analysis and interpretation are performed applying, for the first time, a polarimetric scattering model to Pol-CSAR data. For this, the model proposed in is employed to retrieve snow and firn parameters of the shallow glacier subsurface, of relevance for the estimation of surface mass balance. Validation of the results is performed by means of ground measurements (GPR profiles, snow depth) collected in coordination with the SAR campaigns.
Development of a sensor for temperature and water concentration in combustion gases using a single tunable diode laser (2003)

The water vapour spectrum in the 1–2 µm near-infrared region is systematically analysed to find the best absorption transitions for sensitive measurement of H2O concentration and temperature in combustion environments using a single tunable diode laser with typical distributed feedback single-mode scanning range (1 cm−1). The use of a single laser, even with relatively narrow tuning range, can offer distinct advantages over wavelength-multiplexing techniques. The strategy and spectroscopic criteria for selecting optimum wavelength regions and absorption line combinations are discussed. It should be stressed that no single figure of merit can be derived to simplify the selection process, and the optimum line pair should be chosen case by case. Our investigation reveals that the 1.8 µm spectral region is especially promising, and we have identified 10 of the best water line pairs in this spectral region for temperature measurements in flames. Based on these findings, a pair of H2O transitions near 1.8 µm was targeted for the design and development of an initial single-laser sensor for simultaneously measuring H2O concentration and temperature in atmospheric-pressure flames. As part of the sensor development effort, fundamental spectroscopic parameters including the line strength, line-centre frequency and lower state energies of the probed transitions were measured experimentally to improve the current databases. We conclude with demonstration results in a steady and a forced atmospheric-pressure laboratory combustor.

Effect of Diabetes, Insulin, Starvation, and Refeeding on the Level of Rat Hepatic Fructose 2,6-Bisphosphate (1981)

The influence of alloxan diabetes and starvation for 72 h on the level of rat hepatic fructose 2,6-biphosphate was investigated. Both diabetes and starvation decreased the level to 10% of the value found in livers of normal, fed rats (10 nmol/g liver). The activity of the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, 6-phosphofructo 2-kinase, was also decreased in livers of diabetic rats. Insulin administration for 24 h to diabetic rats restored the level of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate to normal. Refeeding a high carbohydrate diet for 24 h to starved rats resulted in fructose, 2,6-biphosphate levels that were 2.5-fold higher than that in livers of fed rats. The level of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in diabetes and starvation, and after refeeding correlates as well with the rate of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis in these states and thereby provides further support for its role in regulating hepatic carbohydrate metabolism.

Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome in Lung Transplant Recipients: Correlation of Computed Tomography Findings With Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome Stage (2003)

The purpose of this study was to correlate the extent of computed tomographic (CT) findings with the severity of respiratory dysfunction in lung transplant recipients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Eighty-nine conventional and 61 thin-section CT scans performed in 44 transplant recipients (17 bilateral, 27 single) with BOS were reviewed for mosaic attenuation, degree of bronchial dilation, bronchial thickening, central and peripheral bronchiectasis, mucus plugging, and air trapping. Findings on conventional and thin-section CT scans were correlated with BOS stage for bilateral and single-lung transplant recipients. In bilateral-lung recipients, a significant correlation existed, although weak, between BOS stage and findings of degree of bronchial dilation (P < 0.01), bronchial wall thickening (P = 0.01), peripheral bronchiectasis (P = 0.01), and mosaic attenuation (P = 0.01) on conventional CT; and bronchial wall thickening (P = 0.01) and mosaic attenuation (P = 0.03) on thin-section CT. In single-lung recipients, BOS stage correlated only with the finding of central bronchiectasis (P = 0.02) on conventional CT scans. No correlation was found between the extent of air trapping and BOS stage in either single- or bilateral-lung transplant recipients. CT findings are relatively poor indices of airflow obstruction in lung transplant recipients with BOS, particularly in those with single-lung transplants for emphysema.
Nanostructured Materials for Catalysis (2018)

Due to their structural and functional tunability and rich applications, the area of nanostructured materials has become one of the fastest growing fields in not only chemistry but also materials science. This has been demonstrated through the ever-escalating number of publications, and citations emerging, as well as by the constant expansion of research scope and researcher engagements. In particular, catalysis research has been in an era of renaissance with nanostructured materials to reach new heights. To a large extent this is on the basis of advances of structure analysis methodologies, and a huge number publications dealing with the catalytic applications of nanostructured materials in a variety of directions have appeared in the last few years, which urge us to assemble a compendium of the latest works of nanostructured materials toward catalytic applications. This special issue in Small Methods offers highlights on the new developments of nanostructured materials for catalytic applications in a broad range. This special issue includes contributions from twenty-one groups whose researches range from the design, synthesis, and characterization to catalytic applications of nanostructured materials in a variety of directions. Four review articles present comprehensive overviews on the materials synthesis by new synthesis routes and functionalization methods; the investigation of nanostructured catalysts with advanced spectroscopic methods; and the catalytic applications. Nine communications and eight full papers report new research results on the synthesis of materials in an abundant variety of structures, morphologies and composites for applications ranging from thermo-, electro- to photo-catalysis, to a wide range of useful reactions. We hope that this special issue will provide the readers some representative and exciting views regarding the new development and catalytic applications of nanostructured materials. Due to the dynamic nature of this rapidly-growing field, it is impossible to cover every main aspect of this field, especially those recent achievements by research groups not involved in the preparation of this special issue. There is no doubt that the research field of nanostructured materials for catalysis will continue to expand, with contributions from not only chemists, but also material scientists and engineers. We hope that readers will enjoy the scope of topics presented here and perhaps find inspiration to push this field to the next stage.
Multibody dynamics analysis of the human upper body for rotorcraft–pilot interaction (2020)

Abstract The study of the biodynamic response of helicopter passengers and pilots, when excited by rotorcraft vibrations that are transmitted through the seat and, for the latter, the control inceptors, is of great importance in different areas of aircraft design. Handling qualities are affected by the proneness of the aircraft to give rise to adverse interactions, an unwanted quality that can be captured by the so-called biodynamic feedthrough. On the other hand, the transmissibility of vibrations, especially from the seat to the head, affects the comfort of pilots and passengers during flight. Detailed and parametrised multibody modelling of the human upper body can provide a strong base to support design decisions justified by a first-principles approach. In this work, a multibody model of the upper body is formed by connecting a previously developed detailed model of the arms to a similarly detailed model of the spine. The whole model can be adapted to a specific subject, identified by age, gender, weight and height. The spine model and the scaling procedure have been validated using the experimental results for seat to head transmissibility. The coupled spine-arms model is used to evaluate the biodynamic response in terms of involuntary motion induced on the control inceptors, including the related nonlinearities.
An LCL resonant converter with PWM control-analysis, simulation, and implementation (1995)

A three element resonant converter capable of driving a voltage type load with load independent operation is analyzed using a state-space approach. Pulse width modulation is employed to control and regulate the output voltage. Closed-form solutions are obtained under steady state conditions. The experimental study of a prototype converter reveals complete agreement with the analytical and SPICE simulation results. Typical experimental oscillograms are given to verify the basic principles.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Extracting Multiple-Relations in One-Pass with Pre-Trained Transformers (2019)

The state-of-the-art solutions for extracting multiple entity-relations from an input paragraph always require a multiple-pass encoding on the input. This paper proposes a new solution that can complete the multiple entityrelations extraction task with only one-pass encoding on the input corpus, and achieve a new state-of-the-art accuracy performance, as demonstrated in the ACE 2005 benchmark. Our solution is built on top of the pre-trained self-attentive models (Transformer). Since our method uses a single-pass to compute all relations at once, it scales to larger datasets easily; which makes it more usable in real-world applications.
